[Machine] I said to my companion, "If we enter the mosque and its location is on the date-palm owners, then there is a man from the Qays tribe called Ibn Al-Muntafiq, and he describes the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and described my appearance. So I searched for him in Mecca and it was said to me that he is in Mina. So I searched for him in Mina and it was said to me that he is in 'Arafat. So I reached him and I crowded around him. It was said to me, 'Go to him through the way of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' So I squeezed through until I reached him. I held the reins of the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ mount, or he said, 'I held its bridle.' Muhammad told the story in this way until our camels' necks crossed. He then said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ does not worry about me or the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has not changed me.' He said, 'I said, "I have two questions for you. What will save me from the Fire? And what will admit me to Paradise?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at the sky, then lowered his head and faced me. He said, "If you do little, you will be successful and blessed. Worship Allah alone and do not associate anything with Him. Establish the obligatory prayers, pay the obligatory Zakah, fast during Ramadan, and whatever you love for people to do for you, do it for them. And whatever you dislike for people to do to you, then don't do it to them. Then he said, "Leave the matter of the travelers."  

قُلْتُ لِصَاحِبٍ لِي لَوْ دَخَلْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ وَمَوْضِعُهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي أَصْحَابِ التَّمْرِ فَإِذَا فِيهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَيْسٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ ابْنُ الْمُنْتَفِقِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ وُصِفَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَحُلِّيَ فَطَلَبْتُهُ بِمِكة فَقِيلَ لِي هُوَ بِمنى فطلبتُه بمنىّ فقيل لي هو بعَرَفات فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَزَاحَمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقِيلَ لِي إِلَيْكَ عَنْ طَرِيقِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ دَعُوا الرَّجُلَ أَرِبَ مَا لَهُ قَالَ فَزَاحَمْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى خَلَصْتُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَأَخَذْتُ بِخِطَامِ رَاحِلَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ قَالَ زِمَامِهَا هَكَذَا حَدَّثَ مُحَمَّدٌ حَتَّى اخْتَلَفَتْ أَعْنَاقُ رَاحِلَتَيْنَا قَالَ فَمَا يَزَعُنِي رَسُولُ اللهِﷺ أَوْ قَالَ مَا غَيَّرَ عَلَيَّ هَكَذَا حَدَّثَ مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ ثِنْتَانِ أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْهُمَا مَا يُنَجِّينِي مِنَ النَّارِ؟ وَمَا يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ؟ قَالَ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ نَكَسَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ بِوَجْهِهِ قَالَ لَئِنْ كُنْتَ أَوْجَزْتَ فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ لَقَدْ أَعْظَمْتَ وَأَطْوَلْتَ فَاعْقِلْ عَنِّي إِذًا اعْبُدِ اللهَ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَأَدِّ الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَصُمْ رَمَضَانَ وَمَا تُحِبُّ أَنْ يَفْعَلَهُ بِكَ النَّاسُ فَافْعَلْهُ بِهِمْ وَمَا تَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيْكَ النَّاسُ فَذَرِ النَّاسَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ خَلِّ سَبِيلَ الرَّاحِلَةِ  

[Machine] I entered the mosque of Kufa when it was first built, and it was made of date palm branches at that time. A man was addressing the people, saying, "The farewell sermon of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has reached me." So I followed a group of camels from my camels, and I went out until I sat for him on the path to Arafat, or I stood for him on the road to Arafat. Then, when a rider passed by, I recognized the Prophet ﷺ among them by his description. A man in front of him said, "Get out of the way of the travelers." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Woe to him!" And he hurriedly moved closer to him. I approached him until the necks of our camels were intertwined. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, guide me to an action that will lead me to Paradise and save me from the Hellfire." He said, "Avoid wrongdoing and fear Allah, do not associate anything with Him, perform the prayers, give the zakah, perform the pilgrimage to the House of Allah, and fast during Ramadan. Stay away from the path of travelers."  

دَخَلْتُ مَسْجِدَ الْكُوفَةِ أَوَّلَ مَا بُنِيَ مَسْجِدُهَا وَهُوَ فِي أَصْحَابِ التَّمْرِ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَجُدُرُهُ مِنْ سِهْلَةٍ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ قَالَ بَلَغَنِي حَجَّةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَجَّةُ الْوَدَاعِ قَالَ فَاسْتَتْبَعْتُ رَاحِلَةً مِنْ إِبِلِي ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ حَتَّى جَلَسْتُ لَهُ فِي طَرِيقِ عَرَفَةَ أَوْ وَقَفْتُ لَهُ فِي طَرِيقِ عَرَفَةَ قَالَ فَإِذَا رَكْبٌ عَرَفْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهِمْ بِالصِّفَةِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَمَامَهُ خَلِّ عَنْطَرِيقِ الرِّكَابِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَيْحَهُ فَأَرِبَ لَهُ فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى اخْتَلَفَتْ رَأْسُ النَّاقَتَيْنِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ وَيُنَجِّينِي مِنَ النَّارِ قَالَ بَخٍ بَخٍ لَئِنْ كُنْتَ قَصَّرْتَ فِي الْخُطْبَةِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتَ فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ اتَّقِ اللهَ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ وَتَحُجُّ الْبَيْتَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ خَلِّ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الرِّكَابِ  

[Machine] "About his father, similar to it (or like it)."  

عَنْ أَبِيهِ نَحْوَهُ  

[Machine] The messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Eat the meat of sacrificial animals and store some."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ كُلُوا لُحُومَ الْأَضَاحِيِّ وَادَّخِرُوا  

[Machine] I came to this (place), meaning his wife's location, and with her was meat from the sacrificial animals that she had raised. I struck her with a stick, and she said, "Indeed, so-and-so came to us and informed us that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I had forbidden you from keeping the meat of the sacrificial animals for more than three days, so eat and save (some) (for later)."  

أَتَيْتُ هَذِهِ يَعْنِي امْرَأَتَهُ وَعِنْدَهَا لَحْمٌ مِنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ قَدْ رَفَعَتْهُ فَرَفَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا الْعَصَا فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ فُلَانًا أَتَانَا فَأَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُكُمْ أَنْ تُمْسِكُوا لُحُومَ الْأَضَاحِيِّ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فَكُلُوا وَادَّخِرُوا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Qatadah! Do not insult the Quraysh, for perhaps you will see among them men who belittle your deeds with their own deeds, and your actions with their own actions. You will envy them when you see them if it were not for the superiority of the Quraysh. I informed them of what they have with Allah." Yazid Ibn Sami heard me narrating this hadith, and I was narrating it to him. He said, "Asim Ibn Umar Ibn Qatadah narrated to me from his father, who narrated from his grandfather."  

رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا قَتَادَةُ لَا تَسُبَّنَّ قُرَيْشًا فَإِنَّهُ لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تَرَى مِنْهُمْ رِجَالًا تَزْدَرِي عَمَلَكَ مَعَ أَعْمَالِهِمْ وَفِعْلَكَ مَعَ أَفْعَالِهِمْ وَتَغْبِطُهُمْ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ لَوْلَا أَنْ تَطْغَى قُرَيْشٌ لَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ بِالَّذِي لَهُمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ ﷻ قَالَ يَزِيدُ سَمِعَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ وَأَنَا أُحَدِّثُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا حَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ  

He who believes in Allah and in the last day should honour his guest; he who believes in Allah and in the last day should not harm his neighbor; he who believes in Allah and in the last day should speak good or keep silence. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5154)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُحْسِنْ إِلَى جَارِهِ مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ  

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed Allah made Makkah sacred, it was not made sacred by the people. Whoever believes in Allah, and the Last Day, then let them not shed blood in it, nor cut down any of its trees. If one tries to make an excuse by saying: 'It was made lawful for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ' then indeed Allah made it lawful for me but He did not make it lawful for the people, and it was only made lawful for me for an hour of a day. Then it is returned to being sacred until the Day of Judgement. Then, to you people of Khuza'ah who killed this man from Hudhail: I am his 'Aqil, so whomever (one of his relatives) is killed after today, then his people have two options; either they have him killed, or they take the blood-money from him.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1406)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ وَلَمْ يُحَرِّمْهَا النَّاسُ فَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلَا يَسْفِكَنَّ فِيهَا دَمًا وَلَا يَعْضِدَنَّ فِيهَا شَجَرًا فَإِنْ تَرَخَّصَ مُتَرَخِّصٌ فَقَالَ أُحِلَّتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِنَّ اللهَ أَحَلَّهَا لِي وَلَمْ يُحِلَّهَا لِلنَّاسِ وَهِيَ سَاعَتِي هَذِهِ حَرَامٌ إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ إِنَّكُمْ مَعْشَرَ خُزَاعَةَ قَتَلْتُمْ هَذَا الْقَتِيلَ وَإِنِّي عَاقِلُهُ فَمَنْ قُتِلَ لَهُ قَتِيلٌ بَعْدَ مَقَالَتِي هَذِهِ فَأَهْلُهُ بَيْنَ خِيرَتَيْنِ إِمَّا أَنْ يَقْتُلُوا أَوْ يَأْخُذُوا الْعَقْلَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him honor his neighbor. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him say something good or remain silent. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him honor his guest. His hospitality lasts for one day and one night. And the maximum duration of hospitality is three days. Anything beyond that is considered charity, and it is not permissible for him to keep his guest with him until he expels him."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ جَارَهُ مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ جَائِزَتُهُ يَوْمٌ وَلَيْلَةٌ الضِّيَافَةُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ فَمَا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ لَا يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَثْوِيَ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى يُخْرِجَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By Allah, he does not believe, by Allah, he does not believe, by Allah, he does not believe." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is that?" He said, "A person's neighbor does not feel secure from his harm." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, and what is his harm?" He said, "His evil."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ وَاللهِ لَا يُؤْمِنُ وَاللهِ لَا يُؤْمِنُ وَاللهِ لَا يُؤْمِنُ قَالُوا وَمَا ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ الْجَارُ لَا يَأْمَنُ جَارُهُ بَوَائِقَهُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا بَوَائِقُهُ؟ قَالَ شَرُّهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Beware of sitting on the sidewalks. If any of you sit on the sidewalks, then give it its due. We asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is its due?' He replied, 'Lowering your gaze, returning greetings, enjoining good, and forbidding evil.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْجُلُوسَ عَلَى الصُّعُدَاتِ فَمَنْ جَلَسَ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى الصَّعِيدِ فَلْيُعْطِهِ حَقَّهُ قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا حَقُّهُ؟ قَالَ غُضُوضُ الْبَصَرِ وَرَدُّ التَّحِيَّةِ وَأَمْرٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَنَهْيٌ عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ  

"O Commander! Permit me to tell you of a statement that the Messenger of Allah said the day after the Conquest of Makkah, which my ears heard, my hear understood, and my eyes saw, when he said it. He (the Prophet) praised Allah, then he said: 'Makkah has been made sacred by Allah, not by the people. It is not permissible for any man who believes in Allah and the Last Day to shed blood in it, or to cut its trees. If any one seeks permission to fight in it because the Messenger of Allah fought in it, say to him: Allah allowed his Messenger (to fight therein) but He did not allow you. Rather permission was given to me (to fight therein) for a short period one day, and now its sanctity has been restored as it as before. Let those who are present convey (this mews) to those who are absent.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2876)   

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَهُوَ يَبْعَثُ الْبُعُوثَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ ائْذَنْ لِي أَيُّهَا الْأَمِيرُ أُحَدِّثْكَ قَوْلًا قَامَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْغَدَ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْفَتْحِ سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنَايَ وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي وَأَبْصَرَتْهُ عَيْنَايَ حَيْثُ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ أَنَّهُ حَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ مَكَّةَ حَرَّمَهَا اللهُ وَلَمْ يُحَرِّمْهَا النَّاسُ فَلَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرِئٍ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَنْ يَسْفِكَ فِيهَا دَمًا وَلَا يَعْضِدَ فِيهَا شَجَرَةً فَإِنْ أَحَدٌ تَرَخَّصَ بِقِتَالِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهَا فَقُولُوا إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ أَذِنَ لِرَسُولِهِ وَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لَكُمْ وَإِنَّمَا أَذِنَ لِي فِيهَا سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ وَقَدْ عَادَتْ حُرْمَتُهَا الْيَوْمَ كَحُرْمَتِهَا بِالْأَمْسِفَلْيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ فَقِيلَ لِأَبِي شُرَيْحٍ مَا قَالَ لَكَ عَمْرٌو؟ قَالَ قَالَ أَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِذَلِكَ مِنْكَ يَا أَبَا شُرَيْحٍ إِنَّ الْحَرَمَ لَا يُعِيذُ عَاصِيًا وَلَا فَارًّا بِدَمٍ وَلَا فَارًّا بِجِزْيَةٍ وَكَذَلِكَ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ بِجِزْيَةٍ وَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ وَلَا مَانِعَ جِزْيَةٍ  

[Machine] On the authority of Abu Shurayh Al 'Adawi from Khuzay'ah, who was one of the Companions, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "Hospitality is three days, and its extension is a day and a night. It is not permissible for anyone to stay with his brother until he causes him inconvenience." So they said, "O Messenger of Allah, what causes inconvenience?" He said: "He stays with him and does not find anything to feed him."  

عَنْ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ الْعَدَوِيِّ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الضِّيَافَةُ ثَلَاثٌ وَجَائِزَتُهُ يَوْمٌوَلَيْلَةٌ وَلَا يَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يُقِيمَ عِنْدَ أَخِيهِ حَتَّى يُؤْثِمَهُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا يُؤْثِمُهُ؟ قَالَ يُقِيمُ عِنْدَهُ وَلَا يَجِدُ شَيْئًا يَقُوتُهُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ means that the souls of the martyrs are attached to a green bird flying from the fruits of paradise. It was also narrated that a breeze is attached to Sufyan in a fruit or tree of paradise.  

النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَعْنِي أَنَّ أَرْوَاحَ الشُّهَدَاءِ فِي طَائِرٍ خُضْرٍ تَعْلُقُ مِنْ ثَمَرِ الْجَنَّةِ وَقُرِئَ عَلَى سُفْيَانَ نَسَمَةٌ تَعْلُقُ فِي ثَمَرَةٍ أَوْ شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ  

Ibn Ka'b b. Malik reported on the authority of his father that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to eat (food) with three fingers and he licked his hand before wiping it (with towel). (Using translation from Muslim 2032b)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْكُلُ بِثَلَاثِ أَصَابِعَ وَلَا يَمْسَحُ يَدَهُ حَتَّى يَلْعَقَهَا  

[Machine] A black maid slaughtered a sheep in Marwah, so Ka'b mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ , and he ordered him to eat it.  

أَنَّ جَارِيَةً لَهُمْ سَوْدَاءَ ذَبَحَتْ شَاةً بِمَرْوَةٍ فَذَكَرَ كَعْبٌلِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَهُ بِأَكْلِهَا  

'Abdullah b. Ka'b reported that his father Ka'b narrated to him that Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to eat with three fingers and when he had finished (eating), he licked them. (Using translation from Muslim 2032c)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ بِثَلَاثِ أَصَابِعَ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ لَعِقَهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to not embark on a journey except in the morning, and he would start by going to the mosque, where he would pray two units of prayer and then sit in it.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَقْدَمُ مِنْ سَفَرٍ إِلَّا فِي الضُّحَى فَيَبْدَأُ بِالْمَسْجِدِ فَيُصَلِّي فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيَقْعُدُ فِيهِ  

Ka'b reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that the similitude of a believer is that of a standing crop in a field which is shaken by wind and then it comes to its original position but it stands at its roots. The similitude of a non-believer is that of a cypress tree which stands on its roots and nothing shakes it but it is uprooted (with) one (violent stroke). (Using translation from Muslim 2810a)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَالْخَامَةِ مِنَ الزَّرْعِ تُفَيِّئُهَا الرِّيَاحُ تَصْرَعُهَا مَرَّةً وَتَعْدِلُهَا أُخْرَى حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ أَجَلُهُ وَمَثَلُ الْكَافِرِ مَثَلُ الْأَرْزَةِ الْمُجْذِيَةِ عَلَى أَصْلِهَا لَا يُقِلُّهَا شَيْءٌ حَتَّى يَكُونَ انْجِعَافُهَا مَرَّةً  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not come back from the journey but by day in the forenoon, and when he arrived, he went first to the mosque, and having prayed two rak'ahs in it he sat down in it. (Using translation from Muslim 716)  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا يَقْدَمُ مِنْ سَفَرٍ إِلَّا نَهَارًا فِي الضُّحَى وَإِذَا قَدِمَ بَدَأَ بِالْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلَّى فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فِيهِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ passed by a man who was following another man closely, so he asked, "What is this?" The man replied, "O Messenger of Allah, he owes me a debt." The Prophet signalled with his hand to take half of it, and I said, "O Messenger of Allah, yes." So he took half and left the other half.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ مُلَازِمٌ رَجُلًا فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ غَرِيمٌ لِي وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ النِّصْفَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ الشَّطْرَ وَتَرَكَ الشَّطْرَ  

[Machine] "He said to the Prophet ﷺ , 'Indeed, Allah has revealed in poetry what He has revealed.' So he said, 'Verily, the believer fights with his sword and tongue. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, it is as if you are sprinkling them with nobility.'"  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ فِي الشِّعْرِ مَا أَنْزَلَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُجَاهِدُ بِسَيْفِهِ وَلِسَانِهِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَكَأَنَّ مَا تَرْمُونَهُمْ بِهِ نَضْحُ النَّبْلِ  

I never remained behind Messenger of Allah ﷺ from any expedition which he undertook except the Battle of Tabuk and that of the Battle of Badr. So far as the Battle of Badr is concerned, nobody was blamed for remaining behind as Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Muslims (did not set out for attack but for waylaying) the caravan of the Quraish, but it was Allah Who made them confront their enemies without their intention (to do so). I had the honour to be with Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the night of 'Aqaba when we pledged our allegiance to Islam and it was more dear to me than my participation in the Battle of Badr, although Badr was more popular amongst people as compared with that (Tabuk). And this is my story of remaining back from Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the occasion of the Battle of Tabuk. Never did I possess means enough and (my circumstances) more favourable than at the occasion of this expedition. And, by Allah, I had never before this expedition simultaneously in my possession two rides. Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out for this expedition in extremely hot season; the journey was long and the land (which he and his army had to cover) was waterless and he had to confront a large army, so he informed the Muslims about the actual situation (they had to face), so that they should adequately equip themselves for this expedition, and he also told them the destination where he intended to go. And the Muslims who accompanied Messenger of Allah ﷺ at that time were large in numbers but there was no proper record of them. Ka'b (further) said: Few were the persons who wanted to absent themselves, and were under the impression that they could easily conceal themselves (and thus remain undetected) until revelations from Allah, the Exalted and Glorious (descended in connection with them). And Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out on an expedition when the fruits were ripe and their shadows had been lengthened. I had weakness for them and it was during this season that Messenger of Allah ﷺ made preparations and the Muslims too along with them. I also set out in the morning so that I should make preparations along with them but I came back and did nothing and said to myself: I have means enough (to make preparations) as soon as I like. And I went on doing this (postponing my preparations) until people were about to depart and it was in the morning that Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out and the Muslims too along with him, but I made no preparations. I went early in the morning and came back, but I made no decision. I continued to do so until they (the Muslims) hastened and covered a good deal of distance. I also made up my mind to march on and to meet them. Would that I had done that but perhaps it was not destined for me. After the departure of Messenger of Allah ﷺ as I went out amongst people, I was shocked to find that I did not find anyone like me but people who were labelled as hypocrites or the people whom Allah granted exemption because of their incapacity and Messenger of Allah ﷺ took no notice of me until he had reached Tabuk. (One day as he was sitting amongst the people in Tabuk) he said: What has happened to Ka'b b. Malik? A person from Banu' Salama said: Messenger of Allah, the (beauty) of his cloak and his appreciation of his sides have allured him and he was thus detained. Mua'dh b. Jabal said: Woe be upon that what you contend. Messenger of Allah, by Allah, we know nothing about him but good. Messenger of Allah ﷺ, however, kept quiet. It was during that time that he (the Holy Prophet) saw a person (dressed in all white (garment) shattering the illusion of eye (mirage). Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: May he be Abu Khaithama and, lo, it was Abu Khaithama al-Ansari and he was that person who contributed a sa' of dates and was scoffed at by the hypocrites. Ka'b b. Malik farther said: When this news reached me that Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on his way back from Tabuk I was greatly perturbed. I thought of fabricating false stories and asked myself how I would save myself from his anger on the following day. In this connection, I sought the help of every prudent man from amongst the members of my family and when it was said to me that Messenger of Allah ﷺ was about to arrive, all the false ideas banished (from my mind) and I came to the conclusion that nothing could save me but the telling of truth, so I decided to speak the truth and it was in the morning that Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived (in Medina). And it was his habit that as he came back from a journey he first went to the mosque and observed two Rak'ahs of nafl prayer (as a mark of gratitude) and then sat amongst people. And as he did that, those who had remained behind him began to put forward their excuses and take an oath before him and they were more than eighty persons. Messenger of Allah ﷺ accepted their excuses on the very face of them and accepted their allegiance and sought forgiveness for them and left their secret (intentions) to Allah, until I presented myself to him. I greeted him and he smiled and there was a tinge of anger in that. He (the Holy Prophet) then said to me: Come forward. I went forward until I sat in front of him. He said to me: What kept you back? Could you not afford to go in for a ride? I said: Messenger of Allah, by Allah, if I were to sit in the presence of anybody else from amongst the worldly people I would have definitely saved myself from his anger on one pretext (or the other) and I have also the knack to fall into argumentation, but, by Allah, I am fully aware of the fact that if I were to put forward before you a false excuse to please you Allah would definitely provoke your wrath upon me, and if I speak the truth you may be annoyed with me, but I hope that Allah would make its end well and, by Allah, there is no valid excuse for me. By Allah, I never possessed so good means, and I never had such favourable conditions for me as I had when I stayed behind you (failed to join the expedition). Thereupon, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This man told the truth, so get up until Allah gives a decision in your case. I stood up and some people of Banu' Salama followed me in hot haste, and they said to me: By Allah, we do not know about you that you committed a sin prior to this. You, however, showed inability to put forward an excuse before Messenger of Allah ﷺ as those who stayed behind him have put forward excuses. It would have been enough for the forgiveness of your sin that Messenger of Allah ﷺ would have sought forgiveness for you. By Allah, they continued to incite me until I thought of going back to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and contradict myself. Then I said to them: Has anyone else also met the same fate? They said: Yes, two persons have met the same fate as has fallen to you and they have made the sane statement as you have made, and the same verdict has been delivered in their case as it has been delivered in your case. I said: Who are they? They said: Murara b. ar-Rabi'a 'Amiri and Hilal b. Umayya al-Waqafi. They made a mention of these two pious persons to me who had participated in the Battle of Badr and there was an example for me in them. I went away when they named these two persons. Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the Nluslims to talk with three of us from amongst those (persons) who had stayed behind him. The people began to avoid us and their attitude towards us underwent a change and it seemed as if the whole atmosphere had turned (hostile) against us and it was in fact the same atmosphere ot which I was fully aware and in which I had lived (for a fairly long time). We spent fifty nights in this very state and my two friends confined themselves withen their houses and spent (most of the) time in weeping, but as I was young and strong amongst them I got (out of my house), participated in congregational prayers, moved about in the bazar; but none spoke to me. I came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ as he sat amongst (people) after the prayer, greeted him and asked myself whether his lips stirred in response to my greetings (or not). Then I observed prayer beside him and looked at him with stealing glances and when I attended to my prayer, he looked at me and when I cast a glance at him he turned away his eyes from me. And when the harsh treatment of the Muslims towards me extended to a (considerable) length of time, I walked until I climbed upon the wall of the garden of Abu Qatada, and he was my cousin, and I had the greatest love for him. I greeted him but, by Allah, he did not respond to my greetings. I said to him: Abu Qatada, I adjure you by Allah, arn't you well aware of the fact that I love Allah and His Messenger ﷺ the most. He kept quiet. I again repeated saying: I adjure you by Allah. arn't you well aware of the fact that I love Allah and His Messenger ﷺ the most. He kept quiet. I again adjured him, whereupon he said: Allah and the Messenger ﷺ are best aware of it. My eyes began to shed tears and I came back climbing down from the wall and as I was walking in the bazar of Medina a Nabatean from amongst the Nabateans of Syria, who had come to sell foodgrains in Medina, asked people to direct him to Ka'b b. Malik. People gave him the indication by pointing towards me. He came to me and delivered to me a letter of the King of Ghassan and as I was a scribe I read that letter and it was written like this:" Coming to my point, it has been conveyed to us that your friend (the Holy Prophet) is subjecting you to cruelty and Allah has not created you for a place where you are to be degraded and where you cannot find your right place, so you come to us that we should accord you honour. As I read that letter I said: This is also a calamity, so I burnt it in the oven. When out of the fifty days, forty days had passed and Messenger of Allah ﷺ received no revelation, there came the messenger of Messenger of Allah ﷺ to me and said: Verily, Messenger of Allah ﷺ has commanded you to remain separate from your wife. I said: Should I divorce her or what (else) should I do? He said: No, but only remain separate from her and don't have sexual contact with her. The same message was sent to my companions. So I said to my wife: You better go to your parents and stay there with them until Allah gives the decision in my case. The wife of Hilal b. Umayya came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, Hilal b. Umayya is a senile person, he has no servant. Do you disapprove of my serving him? He said: No, but don't go near him. She said: By Allah, he has no such instinct in him. By Allah, he spends his time in weeping from that day to this day. Some of the members of my family said to me: Were you to seek permission from Messenger of Allah ﷺ in regard to your wife as he has granted permission to the wife of Hilal b. Umayya to serve him. I said: I would not seek permission from Messenger of Allah ﷺ, for I cannot say what Allah's Apostle may say in response to seeking my permission. Moreover, I am a young man. It was in this state that I spent ten more nights and thus fifty nights had passed that (people) had observed boycott with us. It was on the morning of the fiftieth night that I observed my dawn prayer and was sitting on one of the roofs of our houses. And I was in fact sitting in that very state which Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, has described about us in these words:" Life had become hard for myself and the earth had compressed despite its vastness," that I heard the noise of an announcer from the peak of the hill of Sal' saying at the top of his voice: Ka'b b. Malik, there is glad tidings for you. I fell down in prostration and came to realise that there was (a message of) relief for me. Messenger of Allah ﷺ had informed the people of the acceptance of our repentance by Allah as he offered the dawn prayer. So the people went on to give us glad tidings and some of them went to my friends in order to give them the glad tidings and a person galloped his horse and came from the tribe of Aslam and his horse reached me more quickly than his voice. And when he came to me whose sound I heard, he gave me the glad tidings. I took off my clothes and clothed him with them because of his bringing good news to me and, by Allah, I possessed nothing else (in the form of clothes) than these two on that occasion, and I asked one to lend me two clothes and dressed myself in them. I came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and on my way I met groups of people who greeted me because of (the acceptance of) repentance and they said: Here is a greeting for you for your repentance being accepted by Allah. (I moved on) until I came to the mosque and Messenger of Allah ﷺ had been sitting there amongst persons. So Talha b. 'Ubaidullah got up and rushed towards me and he shook hands with me and greeted me and, by Allah, no person stood up (to greet me) from amongst the emigrants except he. Ka'b said that he never forgot (this good gesture of) Talha. Ka'b further said: I greeted Messenger of Allah ﷺ with Assalam-o-'Alaikam and his face was glistening because of delight, and he said: Let there be glad tidings and blessings for you, the like of which (you have neither found nor you will find, as you find today) since your mother gave your birth. I said: Messenger of Allah. is this acceptance of repentance from you or from Allah? He said: No, (it is not from ma), it is from Allah, and it was common with Messenger of Allah ﷺ that as he was happy his face brightened up and it looked like a part of the moon and it was from this that we recognised it (his delight). As I sat before him, I said: Messenger of Allah, am I allowed to give in charity my wealth for Allah's sake and for the sake of His Messenger ﷺ? Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Keep some property with you as it is better for you. I said: I shall keep with me that part (of my property) which fell to my lot (on the occasion of the expedition of) Khaibar. I said: Messenger of Allah, verily, Allah has granted me salvation because of truth and, therefore, (I think) that repentance implies that I should not speak anything but truth as long as I live. He said: By Allah, I do not know whether anyone amongst the Muslims was put to more severe trial than I by Allah because of telling the truth. And since I made a mention of this to Messenger of Allah ﷺ up to this day I have not told any lie and, by Allah, I have decided not to tell a lie and I hope that Allah would save me (from trials) for the rest of my life and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed these verses:" Certainly, Allah has turned in Mercy to the Prophet and the emigrants and the helpers who followed him in the hour of hardship after the hearts of a part of them were about to deviate; then He turned to them in mercy. Surely, to them He is Compassionate, Merciful and (He turned in Mercy) to the three who were left behind until the earth despite its vastness became strait for them and their souls were also straitened to them." And this revelation reached up to the (words):" O you who believe, develop God consciousness, and be with the truthful" (ix. 117-118). Ka'b said: By Allah, since Allah directed me to Islam there has been no blessing more significant for me than this truth of mine which I spoke to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and if I were to tell a lie I would have been ruined as were ruined those who told lies, for in regard to those who told lies Allah used harshest words used for anyone as He descended revelation (and the words of Allah are):" They will swear by Allah to you when you return to them so that you may leave them alone. So leave them alone. Surely, they are unclean and their resort is Hell, recompense for what they earned. They will swear to you that you may be pleased with them but if you are pleased with them, yet surely Allah is not pleased with the transgressing people" (ix. 95-96). K'ab said that the matter of us three persons was deferred as compared with those who took an oath in the presence of Allahs Messenger ﷺ and he accepted their allegiance and sought forgiveness for them and Allah did not give any decision in regard to us. It was Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, Who gave decisions in our case, three who remained behind. (The words of the Qur'an)" the three who were left behind" do not mean that we remained back from Jihad but these imply that He kept our matter behind them who took oath and presented excuse before Him. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters. (Using translation from Muslim 2769a)

النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَدْ أَتَانِي فَقَالَ اعْتَزِلْ امْرَأَتَكَ فَقُلْتُ أُطَلِّقُهَا؟ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ لَا تَقْرَبَنَّهَا فَجَاءَتْ امْرَأَةُ هِلَالٍ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ هِلَالَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ شَيْخٌ ضَعِيفٌ فَهَلْ تَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أَخْدُمَهُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَلَكِنْ لَا يَقْرَبَنَّكِ قَالَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَا بِهِ حَرَكَةٌ لِشَيْءٍ مَا زَالَ مُكِبًّا يَبْكِي اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ مُنْذُ كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَا كَانَ قَالَ كَعْبٌ فَلَمَّا طَالَ عَلَيَّ الْبَلَاءُ اقْتَحَمْتُ عَلَى أَبِي قَتَادَةَ حَائِطَهُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّي فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ أَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ يَا أَبَا قَتَادَةَ أَتَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ؟ فَسَكَتَ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ أَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ يَا أَبَا قَتَادَةَ أَتَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ؟ قَالَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَلَمْ أَمْلِكْ نَفْسِي أَنْ بَكَيْتُ ثُمَّ اقْتَحَمْتُ الْحَائِطَ خَارِجًا حَتَّى إِذَا مَضَتْ خَمْسُونَ لَيْلَةً مِنْ حِينِ نَهَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ النَّاسَ عَنْ كَلَامِنَا صَلَّيْتُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ لَنَا صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ وَأَنَا فِي الْمَنْزِلَةِ الَّتِي قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ قَدْ ضَاقَتْ عَلَيْنَا الْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْنَا أَنْفُسُنَا إِذْ سَمِعْتُ نِدَاءً مِنْ ذُرْوَةِ سَلْعٍ أَنْ أَبْشِرْ يَا كَعْبُ بْنَ مَالِكٍ فَخَرَرْتُ سَاجِدًا وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ اللهَ قَدْجَاءَنَا بِالْفَرَجِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ يَرْكُضُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ يُبَشِّرُنِي فَكَانَ الصَّوْتُ أَسْرَعَ مِنْ فَرَسِهِ فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ ثَوْبَيَّ بِشَارَةً وَلَبِسْتُ ثَوْبَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ وَكَانَتْ تَوْبَتُنَا نَزَلَتْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُلُثَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ عَشِيَّتَئِذٍ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَلَا نُبَشِّرُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ؟ قَالَ إِذًا يَحْطِمَنَّكُمُ النَّاسُ وَيَمْنَعُونَكُمُ النَّوْمَ سَائِرَ اللَّيْلَةِ وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ مُحْسِنَةً مُحْتَسِبَةً فِي شَأْنِي تَحْزَنُ بِأَمْرِي فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَإِذَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَحَوْلَهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَهُوَ يَسْتَنِيرُ كَاسْتِنَارَةِ الْقَمَرِ وَكَانَ إِذَا سُرَّ بِالْأَمْرِ اسْتَنَارَ فَجِئْتُ فَجَلَسْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَبْشِرْ يَا كَعْبُ بْنَ مَالِكٍ بِخَيْرِ يَوْمٍ أَتَى عَلَيْكَ مُنْذُ يَوْمِ وَلَدَتْكَ أُمُّكَ قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَمِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ أَوْ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ؟ قَالَ بَلْ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ ﷻ ثُمَّ تَلَا عَلَيْهِمْ {لَقَدْ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَالْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ} [التوبة 117] حَتَّى بَلَغَ {إِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ} [التوبة 118] قَالَ وَفِينَا نَزَلَتْ أَيْضًا {اتَّقُوا اللهَ وَكُونُوا مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ} [التوبة 119] فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ لَا أُحَدِّثَ إِلَّا صِدْقًا وَأَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي كُلِّهِ صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَبَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أُمْسِكُ سَهْمِي الَّذِي بِخَيْبَرَ قَالَ فَمَا أَنْعَمَ اللهُ ﷻ عَلَيَّ نِعْمَةً بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ أَعْظَمَ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْ صِدْقِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ صَدَقْتُهُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبَايَ أَنْ لَا نَكُونَ كَذَبْنَا فَهَلَكْنَا كَمَا هَلَكُوا إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ اللهُ ﷻ أَبْلَى أَحَدًا فِي الصِّدْقِ مِثْلَ الَّذِي أَبْلَانِي مَا تَعَمَّدْتُ لِكَذْبَةٍ بَعْدُ وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَحْفَظَنِي اللهُ فِيمَا بَقِيَ  

[Machine] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was pleased, his face would light up, shining as if it were a piece of the moon. And we could recognize that in him."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سُرَّ اسْتَنَارَ وَجْهُهُ حَتَّى كَأَنَّ وَجْهَهُ شِقَّةُ قَمَرٍ فَكُنَّا نَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ فِيهِ  

"Ka'b!" He said: "At your service, Messenger of Allah." Thereupon he made a gesture with is hand indicating: Remit half the debt due to you. Ka'b said: "I shall do so, Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ then said: "Get up and discharge" (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3595)   

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ تَقَاضَى ابْنَ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ دَيْنًا كَانَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا حَتَّى سَمِعَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمَا حَتَّى كَشَفَ سِجْفَ حُجْرَتِهِ فَنَادَى يَا كَعْبُ بْنَ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ ضَعْ مِنْ دَيْنِكَ الشَّطْرَ قَالَ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ قُمْ فَاقْضِهِ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to only travel on Thursdays.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُسَافِرَ لَا يُسَافِرُ إِلَّا يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you experiences pain, let him place his hand where he feels the pain, and then say 'I seek refuge in the might and power of Allah from the evil of what I am experiencing' seven times."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَلَمًا فَلْيَضَعْ يَدَهُ حَيْثُ يَجِدُ أَلَمَهُ ثُمَّ لِيَقُلْ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , said: The neighbor has more right to his stone or trough."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِصَقَبِهِ أَوْ سَقَبِهِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ borrowed a young she-camel from a man. Then, a group of camels from the charity camels came to him. He said, "Give it to him." They said, "We have nothing except a four-year-old healthy camel." He said, "Give it to him, for the best among the people is the one who fulfills his obligations."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ اسْتَسْلَفَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ بَكْرًا فَأَتَتْهُ إِبِلٌمِنْ إِبِلِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ أَعْطُوهُ فَقَالُوا لَا نَجِدُ لَهُ إِلَّا رَبَاعِيًا خِيَارًا قَالَ أَعْطُوهُ فَإِنَّ خِيَارَ النَّاسِ أَحْسَنُهُمْ قَضَاءً  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ sent a man from the tribe of Makhzum to collect charity. The man said, "Won't you accompany me so that you may benefit?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "I am from the family of Muhammad and charity is not permissible for us. However, it is allowed for the leader of a people to take from the wealth of their own people."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَصْحَبُنِي تُصِيبُ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ حَتَّى أَذْكُرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِاللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّا آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ لَا تَحِلُّ لَنَا الصَّدَقَةُ وَإِنَّ مَوْلَى الْقَوْمِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ  

[Machine] No, but shave his head and then give in charity an amount of silver equal to the weight of his hair to the poor or the needy. The needy were some people among the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who were in need in the mosque or in As-Suffah. Abu An-Nadr said, "From the papers on the bundles of safflower was left on As-Suffah." I did that, and when I gave birth to Husain, I did the same.  

لَا وَلَكِنْ احْلِقِي رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ َتَصَدَّقِي بِوَزْنِ شَعْرِهِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ عَلَى الْمَسَاكِينِ أَوِ الْأَوْفَاضِ وَكَانَ الْأَوْفَاضُ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مُحْتَاجِينَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَوْ فِي الصُّفَّةِ وَقَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ مِنَ الْوَرِقِ عَلَى الْأَوْفَاضِ يَعْنِي أَهْلَ الصُّفَّةِ أَوْ عَلَى الْمَسَاكِينِ فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا وَلَدْتُ حُسَيْنًا فَعَلْتُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade a man from praying while his hair is braided.  

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الرَّجُلُ وَشَعْرُهُ مَعْقُوصٌ  

[Machine] To me, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Go and bring Maimunah to me." So I said, "O Prophet of Allah, I am in the state of ritual impurity." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Do you not love what I love?" I said, "Indeed, O Messenger of Allah." He then said, "Go and bring her to me." So I went and brought her to him.  

لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اذْهَبْ فَائْتِنِي بِمَيْمُونَةَ فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنِّي فِي الْبَعْثِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَسْتَ تُحِبُّ مَا أُحِبُّ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَائْتِنِي بِهَا فَذَهَبْتُ فَجِئْتُهُ بِهَا  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ called the Adhan in the ear of Al-Hasan ibn Ali when Fatimah gave birth to him.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَذَّنَ فِي أُذُنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ حِينَ وَلَدَتْهُ فَاطِمَةُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ visited his wives one night and washed himself at each of their places. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, wouldn't it be sufficient if you washed yourself only once?" He replied, "This is purer and cleaner."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ طَافَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ فَاغْتَسَلَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ غُسْلًا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوْ اغْتَسَلْتَ غُسْلًا وَاحِدًا؟ فَقَالَ هَذَا أَطْهَرُ وَأَطْيَبُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me to kill the dogs. So I went out and killed them. I would not see a dog without killing it. Then, there was a dog wandering around a house, so I went to kill it. Then, a person from inside the house called out to me, "O Abdullah, what do you want to do?" I said, "I want to kill this dog." He said, "I am a pregnant woman, and this dog keeps away the wolves and protects me from harm. Go and inform the Prophet ﷺ about this." So, I went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him about it. He commanded me to spare its life.  

أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ أَقْتُلَ الْكِلَابَ فَخَرَجْتُ أَقْتُلُهَا لَا أَرَى كَلْبًا إِلَّا قَتَلْتُهُ فَإِذَا كَلْبٌ يَدُورُ بِبَيْتٍ فَذَهَبْتُ لِأَقْتُلَهُ فَنَادَانِي إِنْسَانٌ مِنْ جَوْفِ الْبَيْتِ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ مَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَقْتُلَ هَذَا الْكَلْبَ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ مُضَيَّعَةٌ وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْكَلْبَ يَطْرُدُ عَنِّي السَّبُعَ وَيُؤْذِنُنِي بِالْجَائِي فَائْتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَاذْكُرْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأَمَرَنِي بِقَتْلِهِ  

[Machine] "Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , that whenever he heard the Mu'adhdhin (caller to prayer), he repeated what he said. But when the Mu'adhdhin said, 'Hayya 'ala as-Salah' (come to prayer), the Prophet ﷺ added, 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (there is no power nor might except with Allah)."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ الْمُؤَذِّنَ قَالَ مِثْلَ مَا يَقُولُ فَإِذَا قَالَ حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ  

[Machine] Narrated by Abu Rafi', the servant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the morning sacrifice (Dhuhur), he would buy two fat male rams, both intact and of similar age. Then, after he finished praying and delivering his sermon to the people, he would bring one of them while he was standing in his prayer area, slaughter it himself with his own hands using a sharp-edged piece of metal and say, "O Allah, this is on behalf of my entire Ummah (nation), from among those who testify Your Oneness (Tawheed) and bear witness to my Prophethood (balagh). Then the other ram would be brought, and he would slaughter it himself, saying, "This is on behalf of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad." Then both rams would be distributed to the poor, and he and his family would eat from them. We remained for many years without a man from Bani Hashim performing the sacrifice. Allah had sufficed the Prophet ﷺ and his family with a hundred rams.  

عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا ضَحَّى اشْتَرَى كَبْشَيْنِ سَمِينَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ فَإِذَا صَلَّى وَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ أَتَى بِأَحَدِهِمَا وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ فَذَبَحَهُ بِنَفْسِهِ بِالْمُدْيَةِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ هَذَا عَنْ أُمَّتِي جَمِيعًا مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ لَكَ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ وَشَهِدَ لِي بِالْبَلَاغِ ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى بِالْآخَرِ فَيَذْبَحُهُ بِنَفْسِهِ وَيَقُولُ هَذَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَيُطْعِمُهُمَا جَمِيعًا الْمَسَاكِينَ وَيَأْكُلُ هُوَ وَأَهْلُهُ مِنْهُمَا فَمَكَثْنَا سِنِينَ لَيْسَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ يُضَحِّي قَدْ كَفَاهُ اللهُ الْمَئُونَةَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَالْغُرْمَ  

[Machine] "Narrated by Ali ibn al-Husayn, he mentioned it with its chain of narration and its meaning."  

عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ  

"After the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had prayed Asr, he would go to Banu 'Abdul-Ashhal to speak to them, until the time for Maghrib came." Abu Rafi said: "While the Prophet ﷺ was hastening to pray Maghrib, we passed by and he said: 'Fie on you, fie on you!' That upset me so I slowed down because I thought hat he meant me. He said: 'What is the matter with you? Keep up!' I said: 'Is there something wrong?' He said: 'Why are you asking that? I said: 'Because you said: "Fie on you" to me.' He said: 'No, that was so-and-so whom I had sent to collect Zakat from the tribe of so-and-so, and he stole a Namirah and now he is clothed with something similar made of Fire."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 862)   

حَدَّثَنِي مَنْبُوذٌ رَجُلٌ مِنْ آلِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى الْعَصْرَرُبَّمَا ذَهَبَ إِلَى بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ فَيَتَحَدَّثُ مَعَهُمْ حَتَّى يَنْحَدِرَ لِلْمَغْرِبِ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو رَافِعٍ فَبَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُسْرِعًا إِلَى الْمَغْرِبِ إِذْ مَرَّ بِالْبَقِيعِ فَقَالَ أُفٍّ لَكَ أُفٍّ لَكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَكَبُرَ فِي ذَرْعِي وَتَأَخَّرْتُ وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُنِي فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ؟ امْشِ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَحْدَثْتُ حَدَثًا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قُلْتُ أَفَّفْتَ بِي قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا قَبْرُ فُلَانٍ بَعَثْتُهُ سَاعِيًا عَلَى بَنِي فُلَانٍ فَغَلَّ نَمِرَةً فَدُرِّعَ الْآنَ مِثْلَهَا مِنْ نَارٍ  

[Machine] From a rejected man from the family of Abu Rafi', a man informed him, from Al-Fadl ibn 'Ubaydullah, from Abu Rafi', and mentioned it except that he said, "So he broke it on my shoulder and said, 'Did I report something new?' He said, 'What is that?' I said, 'Did you refute it?'"  

عَنْ مَنْبُوذٍ رَجُلٍ مِنْ آلِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ فَذَكَرَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَكَسَرَ ذَلِكَ فِي ذَرْعِي وَقَالَ قُلْتُ أَحْدَثْتُ حَدَثًا؟ قَالَ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَفَّفْتَ  

[Machine] I saw the Prophet (PBUH) giving the call to prayer in Hassan's ear on the day he was born.  

رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَذَّنَ فِي أُذُنِ الْحَسَنِ يَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] Narrated Abu Rafi Al-Qurashi, the slave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : A sheep was presented to him, so he put it in a pot to cook it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered and said: "What is this, O Abu Rafi?" He said: "A sheep has been presented to us, O Messenger of Allah, so I cooked it in the pot." He said: "Bring me the foreleg, O Abu Rafi." So I brought him the foreleg, then he said: "Bring me the other foreleg." So I brought him the other foreleg, then he said: "Bring me the other foreleg." Abu Rafi said: Then he said: "O Messenger of Allah! A sheep only has two forelegs." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: "If you had kept quiet, you would have brought me foreleg by foreleg, as many as they are, until I stop." Then he called for water, rinsed his mouth, washed the tips of his fingers, then he stood up and prayed. Then he returned to them, and found them with cold meat, so he ate. Then he went into the masjid and prayed, and he did not touch water.  

عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أُهْدِيَتْ لَهُ شَاةٌ فَجَعَلَهَا فِي الْقِدْرِ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ؟ فَقَالَ شَاةٌ أُهْدِيَتْ لَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَطَبَخْتُهَا فِي الْقِدْرِ فَقَالَ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ الذِّرَاعَ ثُمَّ قَالَ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ الْآخَرَ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ الذِّرَاعَ الْآخَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ الْآخَرَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا لِلشَّاةِ ذِرَاعَانِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ سَكَتَّ لَنَاوَلْتَنِي ذِرَاعًا فَذِرَاعًا مَا سَكَتَّ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَمَضْمَضَ فَاهُ وَغَسَلَ أَطْرَافَ أَصَابِعِهِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَوَجَدَ عِنْدَهُمْ لَحْمًا بَارِدًا فَأَكَلَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّى وَلَمْ يَمَسَّ مَاءً  

[Machine] Narrated to me Abu Rafi', the servant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , that when Hasan ibn Ali was born, his mother Fatimah wanted to offer a sacrifice for him with two sheep. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not sacrifice for him, instead shave his head and give its weight in silver in charity for the sake of Allah." Then, after that, Husain was born and she did the same for him.  

فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ لَمَّا وُلِدَ أَرَادَتْ أُمُّهُ فَاطِمَةُ أَنْ تَعُقَّ عَنْهُ بِكَبْشَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَا تَعُقِّي عَنْهُ وَلَكِنْ احْلِقِي شَعْرَ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ تَصَدَّقِي بِوَزْنِهِ مِنَ الْوَرِقِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ثُمَّ وُلِدَ حُسَيْنٌ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَصَنَعَتْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] Abu Raafi', the mawla of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , hurried to inform that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ married Maimuna lawfully and consummated the marriage lawfully, and I was the messenger between them.  

يَسَارٍعَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ تَزَوَّجَ مَيْمُونَةَ حَلَالًا وَبَنَى بِهَا حَلَالًا وَكُنْتُ الرَّسُولَ بَيْنَهُمَا  

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to ʿAlī b. Ṭālib that, "There will be a ˹grave˺ matter to occur between you and ʿĀʾishah." He said: Me, O Messenger of Allah? He said, "Yes." He said: Me? He said, "Yes." So ˹ʿAlī˺ said: Then I'm the worst of them, O Messenger of Allah. He said, "No, but when this has happened, then return her to her place of safety."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ إِنَّهُ «سَيَكُونُ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ عَائِشَةَ أَمْرٌ۔» قَالَ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ۔» قَالَ: أَنَا ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ۔» قَالَ: فَأَنَا أَشْقَاهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! قَالَ: «لَا، وَلَكِنْ إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَارْدُدْهَا إِلَى مَأْمَنِهَا۔»  

[Machine] Ali ibn Abi Talib came to the door and said, "Is Abu Muslim here?" It was said, "Yes." He said, "O Abu Muslim, what prevents you from taking your share of this matter and being influential in it?" He replied, "What prevents me from that is a covenant made with me by my friend and your cousin. He instructed me that if there is civil strife, I should take a wooden sword, and I have done so; that is it hanging there."  

جَاءَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَامَ عَلَى الْبَابِ فَقَالَ أَثَمَّ أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ قِيلَ نَعَمْ قَالَ يَا أَبَا مُسْلِمٍ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنْ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ وَتُخِفْ فِيهِ؟ قَالَ يَمْنَعُنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ عَهْدٌ عَهِدَهُ إِلَيَّ خَلِيلِي وَابْنُ عَمِّكَ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ إِذَا كَانَتِ الْفِتْنَةُ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ سَيْفًا مِنْ خَشَبٍ وَقَدْ اتَّخَذْتُهُ وَهُوَ ذَاكَ مُعَلَّقٌ  

[Machine] When Ali arrived in Basra, he sent a message to him and said, "What prevents you from following me?" He replied, "My friend and your cousin advised me, saying that there will be division and dispute. So break your sword and take a wooden sword, and stay in your house until a wrongdoer or a corrupt judge comes to you." I did as the Messenger of Allah ordered me. So, if you can, Ali, avoid being that wrongdoer.  

أَنَّ عَلِيًّا لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْبَصْرَةَ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تَتْبَعَنِي؟ فَقَالَ أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي وَابْنُ عَمِّكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فُرْقَةٌ وَاخْتِلَافٌ فَاكْسِرْ سَيْفَكَ وَاتَّخِذْ سَيْفًا مِنْ خَشَبٍ وَاقْعُدْ فِي بَيْتِكَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَكَ يَدٌ خَاطِئَةٌ أَوْ مَنِيَّةٌ قَاضِيَةٌ فَفَعَلْتُ مَا أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِنْ اسْتَطَعْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْ لَا تَكُونَ تِلْكَ الْيَدَ الْخَاطِئَةَ فَافْعَلْ  

[Machine] What prevents you from following me? So mention its meaning.  

مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنَ اتِّبَاعِي؟ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "O Allah, forgive the ones who shave their heads." A man asked, "What about those who trim their hair?" He replied, "They will have their sins minimized by Sufyan, with his hand." Sufyan said, "And he said, 'as if he is widening his hand.'"

Note: The passage is a conversation that took place between people discussing the forgiveness of those who shave their heads and those who only trim their hair during the pilgrimage.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْمُحَلِّقِينَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ وَالْمُقَصِّرِينَ؟ قَالَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ وَالْمُقَصِّرِينَ يُقَلِّلُهُ سُفْيَانُ بِيَدِهِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَقَالَ فِي تِيكَ كَأَنَّهُ يُوَسِّعُ يَدَهُ
