[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ ate food and licked his fingers.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَكَلَ طَعَامًا فَلَعِقَ أَصَابِعَهُ  

[Machine] A girl was tending to sheep for Ka'b with goods. The wolf attacked one of the sheep from its herd and the shepherd girl caught it and rescued it with a branch. Ka'b bin Malik asked the Prophet ﷺ about it and he ordered him to eat it.  

أَنَّ جَارِيَةً لِكَعْبٍ كَانَتْ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا لَهُ بِسَلْعٍ فَعَدَا الذِّئْبُ عَلَى شَاةٍ مِنْ شَائِهَا فَأَدْرَكَتْهَا الرَّاعِيَةُ فَذَكَّتْهَا بِمَرْوَةٍ فَسَأَلَ كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَهُ بِأَكْلِهَا  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ passed by a man who was holding two ropes, so the Prophet ﷺ said to the man, 'Put down one of the ropes.' The man replied, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' Then the Prophet ﷺ said to the man, 'Give him what remains of his right.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ مُلَازِمٌ رَجُلًا فِي أُوقِيَّتَيْنِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِلرَّجُلِ هَكَذَا أَيْ ضَعْ عَنْهُ الشَّطْرَ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِلرَّجُلِ أَدِّ إِلَيْهِ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ حَقِّهِ  

[Machine] "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ licking his three fingers after eating."  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَلْعَقُ أَصَابِعَهُ الثَّلَاثَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ  

[Machine] A black female sheep gave birth to a lamb for them in Marwah, so the Prophet ﷺ asked about it and ordered him to eat it.  

أَنَّ جَارِيَةً لَهُمْ سَوْدَاءَ ذَكَّتْ شَاةً لَهُمْ بِمَرْوَةٍ فَسَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَمَرَهُ بِأَكْلِهَا  

[Machine] "Abdulrahman doubted that it was Sufyan reporting from his father. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The example of a believer is like a plant that is shaken by the wind and then straightens up again. The example of a disbeliever is like a huge tree that stands firmly, unaffected by anything, until it is uprooted in one go.' Abdulrahman's doubt was correct."  

عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ هُوَ شَكَّ يَعْنِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَمَثَلِ الْخَامَةِ مِنَ الزَّرْعِ تُقِيمُهَا الرِّيَاحُ تَعْدِلُهَا مَرَّةً وَتَصْرَعُهَا أُخْرَى حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ أَجَلُهُ وَمَثَلُ الْكَافِرِ مَثَلُ الْأَرْزَةِ الْمُجْذِيَةِ عَلَى أَصْلِهَا لَا يُعِلُّهَا شَيْءٌ حَتَّى يَكُونَ انْجِحَافُهَا يَخْتَلِعُهَا أَوْ انْجِعَافُهَا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً شَكَّ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ  

[Machine] "When Ka'b ibn Malik repented to Allah, he went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'Verily, Allah has only saved me through truthfulness, and part of my repentance to Allah is that I will never lie again. And I will give a portion of my wealth as charity to Allah and His Messenger.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told him, 'Keep some of your wealth, as it is better for you.' He replied, 'But I will keep my bow from Khaybar.'"  

أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ لَمَّا تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يُنْجِنِي إِلَّا بِالصِّدْقِ وَإِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي إِلَى اللهِ أَنْ لَا أَكْذِبَ أَبَدًا وَإِنِّي أَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَإِنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أُمْسِكُ سَهْمِي مِنْ خَيْبَرَ  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left, I said, "I will prepare myself tomorrow and catch up with him." So, I took my provisions and stayed the night without finishing them. I said, "I will take my provisions tomorrow and the people will be close behind." Then, I will catch up with them. So, I stayed the night without finishing them. When the third day came, I took my provisions and stayed the night without finishing them. I said, "Oh, how people have preceded me three times!" So, I stayed (behind). When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived, the people started apologizing to him. I approached until I stood in front of him and said, "I was in campaigns easier in terms of physical hardship and expenses for me than these campaigns. But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from me and ordered the people not to speak to me. Our women were ordered to turn away from us." He said, "So, I built a wall one day, then behold! I saw Jabir ibn Abdullah. I said, 'O Jabir, I adjure you by Allah! Did you see me deceiving Allah and His Messenger on any day?' He remained silent and did not speak to me. He continued not to speak to me. Then, on another day, I heard a man on the slope saying, 'Ka'b! Ka'b!' until he approached me. He said, 'Give good news to Ka'b!'"  

لَمَّا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ أَتَجَهَّزُ غَدًا ثُمَّ أَلْحَقُهُ فَأَخَذْتُ فِي جَهَازِي فَأَمْسَيْتُ وَلَمْ أَفْرُغْ فَقُلْتُ آخُذُ فِي جَهَازِي غَدًا وَالنَّاسُ قَرِيبٌ بَعْدُ ثُمَّ أَلْحَقُهُمْ فَأَمْسَيْتُ وَلَمْ أَفْرُغْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْيَوْمُ الثَّالِثُ أَخَذْتُ فِي جَهَازِي فَأَمْسَيْتُ فَلَمْ أَفْرُغْ فَقُلْتُ أَيْهَاتَ سَارَ النَّاسُ ثَلَاثًا فَأَقَمْتُ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَعْتَذِرُونَ إِلَيْهِ فَجِئْتُ حَتَّى قُمْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ مَا كُنْتُ فِي غَزَاةٍ أَيْسَرَ لِلظَّهْرِ وَالنَّفَقَةِ مِنِّي فِي هَذِهِ الْغَزَاةِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ لَا يُكَلِّمُونَا وَأُمِرَتْ نِسَاؤُنَا أَنْ يَتَحَوَّلْنَ عَنَّا قَالَ فَتَسَوَّرْتُ حَائِطًا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِجَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ أَيْ جَابِرُ نَشَدْتُكَ بِاللهِ هَلْ عَلِمْتَنِي غَشَشْتُ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يَوْمًا قَطُّ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي فَجَعَلَ لَا يُكَلِّمُنِي قَالَ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا ذَاتَيَوْمٍ إِذْ سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا عَلَى الثَّنِيَّةِ يَقُولُ كَعْبًا كَعْبًا حَتَّى دَنَا مِنِّي فَقَالَ بَشِّرُوا كَعْبًا  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , would return from a journey, he would start by going to the mosque and perform two units of prayer. Then, he would give the greeting of peace and sit in his place of prayer, and people would come and greet him.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَدِمَ مِنْ سَفَرٍبَدَأَ بِالْمَسْجِدِ فَسَبَّحَ فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَجَلَسَ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ فَيَأْتِيهِ النَّاسُ فَيُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ arrived from the Battle of Tabuk in the morning and prayed two units of prayer in the mosque, and whenever he returned from a journey, he would do so.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَدِمَ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ ضُحًى فَصَلَّى فِي الْمَسْجِدِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَكَانَ إِذَا جَاءَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ arrived, meaning from Tabuk, and he performed two units of prayer in the mosque. Whenever he would return from a journey, he would do that.  

قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعْنِي مِنْ تَبُوكَ فَصَلَّى فِي الْمَسْجِدِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَكَانَ إِذَا قَدِمَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to not embark on a journey except during the daytime. When he would arrive, he would start by going to the mosque and pray two units of prayer. Then he would sit in the mosque and Ibn Bakr narrated in his hadith from his father Abdullah ibn Ka'b ibn Malik, from his uncle...  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا يَقْدَمُ مِنْ سَفَرٍ إِلَّا نَهَارًا فِي الضُّحَى فَإِذَا قَدِمَ بَدَأَ بِالْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلَّى فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فِيهِ وَقَالَ ابْنُ بَكْرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ  

[Machine] Allah will forgive you, O mother of good tidings. Have you not heard what the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "The soul of a Muslim is like a bird attached to the tree of Paradise until Allah returns it to its body on the Day of Resurrection." She said: "You have spoken the truth, so I seek forgiveness from Allah."  

يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لَكِ يَا أُمَّ مُبَشِّرٍ أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعِي مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا نَسَمَةُ الْمُسْلِمِ طَيْرٌ تَعْلُقُ فِي شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يُرْجِعَهَا اللهُ ﷻ إِلَى جَسَدِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَتْ صَدَقْتَ فَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "The soul of the believer, when they die, is like a bird that hangs onto the tree of paradise until Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, returns it to their body on the day they are resurrected by Allah."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَسَمَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِذَا مَاتَ طَائِرٌ تَعْلَقُ بِشَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يُرْجِعَهُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِلَى جَسَدِهِ يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُ اللهُ  

“The believer’s soul is a bird that eats from the trees of Paradise, until it will be returned to his body on the Day when he is resurrected.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4271)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّمَا نَسَمَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ طَائِرٌ يَعْلُقُ فِي شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يُرْجِعَهُ اللهُتَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِلَى جَسَدِهِ يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُ  

[Machine] That the Prophet (PBUH) set out on Thursday in the Battle of Tabuk.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said that the soul of a Muslim is like a bird that hangs on the branches of Paradise until Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, returns it to its body on the day of resurrection.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّمَا نَسَمَةُ الْمُسْلِمِ طَيْرٌ يَعْلُقُ بِشَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يُرْجِعَهُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِلَى جَسَدِهِ يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُ  

It was rarely that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out on a journey on any day but on a Thursday. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2605)   

أَقَلُّ مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْرُجُ إِذَا أَرَادَ سَفَرًا إِلَّا يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ  

Whenever Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to carry out a Ghazwa, he would use an equivocation to conceal his real destination till it was the Ghazwa of Tabuk which Messenger of Allah ﷺ carried out in very hot weather. As he was going to face a very long journey through a wasteland and was to meet and attack a large number of enemies. So, he made the situation clear to the Muslims so that they might prepare themselves accordingly and get ready to conquer their enemy. The Prophet ﷺ informed them of the destination he was heading for. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2948)  

سَمِعْتُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَلَّمَا يُرِيدُ غَزْوَةً يَغْزُوهَا إِلَّا وَرَّى بِغَيْرِهَا حَتَّى كَانَ غَزْوَةُ تَبُوكَ فَغَزَاهَارَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حَرٍّ شَدِيدٍ اسْتَقْبَلَ سَفَرًا بَعِيدًا وَمَفَازًا وَاسْتَقْبَلَ غَزْوَ عَدُوٍّ كَثِيرٍ فَجَلَا لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ أَمَرَهُمْ لِيَتَأَهَّبُوا أُهْبَةَ عَدُوِّهِمْ أَخْبَرَهُمْ بِوَجْهِهِ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "People will be resurrected on the Day of Judgment, and I will be with my Ummah (followers) on a hill. My Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, will clothe me in a green robe, and then it will be announced for me. I will say what Allah wishes me to say, and that will be the praiseworthy position."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يُبْعَثُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَأَكُونُ أَنَا وَأُمَّتِي عَلَى تَلٍّ وَيَكْسُونِي رَبِّي تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى حُلَّةً خَضْرَاءَ ثُمَّ يُؤْذَنُ لِي فَأَقُولُ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ أَقُولَ فَذَاكَالْمَقَامُ الْمَحْمُودُ  

"Two wolves free among sheep are no more destructive to them than a man's desire for wealth and honor is to his religion." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2376)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا ذِئْبَانِ جَائِعَانِ أُرْسِلَا فِي غَنَمٍ أَفْسَدَ لَهَا مِنْ حِرْصِ الْمَرْءِ عَلَى الْمَالِ وَالشَّرَفِ لِدِينِهِ  

[Machine] Ka'b ibn Malik, when Allah revealed in poetry that which He revealed, came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Indeed, Allah, the Most Blessed and Exalted, has revealed in poetry what you know. And what do you think about it?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, the believer fights with his sword and his tongue."  

أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ حِينَ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فِي الشِّعْرِ مَا أَنْزَلَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَدْ أَنْزَلَ فِي الشِّعْرِ مَا قَدْ عَلِمْتَ وَكَيْفَ تَرَى فِيهِ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُجَاهِدُ بِسَيْفِهِ وَلِسَانِهِ  

[Machine] He informed him that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Among poetry is wisdom," and Bashir ibn Abdullah ibn Ka'b narrated that Ka'b ibn Malik used to narrate that the Prophet ﷺ said, "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, it is as if you sprinkle them with noble qualities with what you say to them of poetry."  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ حِكْمَةٌ وَكَانَ بَشِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ وَالَّذِينَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَكَأَنَّمَا تَنْضَحُونَهُمْ بِالنَّبْلِ فِيمَا تَقُولُونَ لَهُمْ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ  

“The believer’s soul is a bird that eats from the trees of Paradise, until it will be returned to his body on the Day when he is resurrected.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4271)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّمَا نَسَمَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ طَائِرٌ يَعْلُقُ فِي شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يُرْجِعَهَا اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِلَى جَسَدِهِ يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُ  

[Machine] He said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when Allah blessed and exalted him: "O Messenger of Allah, I want to give a charity from my wealth to Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: "Hold on to some of your wealth, for it is better for you."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ تَابَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَإِنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ  

[Machine] Narrated by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the expedition of Tabuk, Ka'b ibn Malik said, "I never stayed behind from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in any expedition that he undertook except for the expedition of Tabuk. However, I had stayed behind in the Battle of Badr, and no one was reprimanded for staying behind except for those who stayed behind in that battle. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ only set out on this expedition in order to encounter the Quraysh until Allah brought them together with their enemy without any set time. I certainly witnessed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the night of Aqabah when we agreed upon embracing Islam. I do not wish to have a prominent role in any battle other than Badr, even though Badr is more famous among people. It is also known from my knowledge when I stayed behind from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the expedition of Tabuk, that I was never weaker or more vulnerable than I was when I stayed behind in those battles. By Allah, I never gathered two riding camels before that time until I collected them in that battle. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ rarely set out on an expedition without undertaking another expedition alongside it. So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ embarked on this expedition in scorching heat and towards a distant and victorious journey, and he faced a large number of enemies. He informed the Muslims to prepare themselves and be ready for the battle against their enemy."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَقَالَ كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ لَمْ أَتَخَلَّفْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا قَطُّ إِلَّا فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ غَيْرَ أَنِّي كُنْتُتَخَلَّفْتُ فِي غَزْوَةِ بَدْرٍ وَلَمْ يُعَاتِبْ أَحَدًا تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهَا إِنَّمَا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُرِيدُ عِيرَ قُرَيْشٍ حَتَّى جَمَعَ اللهُ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ عَدُوِّهِمْ عَلَى غَيْرِ مِيعَادٍ وَلَقَدْ شَهِدْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ حِينَ تَوَافَقْنَا عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي بِهَا مَشْهَدَ بَدْرٍ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ بَدْرٌ أَذْكَرَ فِي النَّاسِ مِنْهَا وَأَشْهَرَ وَكَانَ مِنْ خَبَرِي حِينَ تَخَلَّفْتُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ لِأَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ قَطُّ أَقْوَى وَلَا أَيْسَرَ مِنِّي حِينَ تَخَلَّفْتُ عَنْهُ فِي تِلْكَ الْغَزَاةِ وَاللهِ مَا جَمَعْتُ قَبْلَهَا رَاحِلَتَيْنِ قَطُّ حَتَّى جَمَعْتُهُمَا فِي تِلْكَ الْغَزَاةِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَلَّمَا يُرِيدُ غَزَاةً يَغْزُوهَا إِلَّا وَرَّى بِغَيْرِهَا حَتَّى كَانَتْ تِلْكَ الْغَزَاةُ فَغَزَاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حَرٍّ شَدِيدٍ وَاسْتَقْبَلَ سَفَرًا بَعِيدًا وَمَفَازًا وَاسْتَقْبَلَ عَدُوًّا كَثِيرًا فَجَلَا لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ أَمْرَهُ لِيَتَأَهَّبُوا أُهْبَةَ عَدُوِّهِمْ  

[Machine] In the Battle of Tabuk, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Ka'b ibn Malik, I have not missed any expedition that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went on, except for the Battle of Tabuk. However, I missed the Battle of Badr, but no one was reproached for missing it because the Messenger of Allah ﷺ only went out seeking the caravan of Quraysh in which Abu Sufyan ibn Harb and some members of Quraysh were present." Then he said, "So I came and sat in front of him, and he asked, 'What prevented you? Did you not buy a camel?' I said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah, indeed, if I had sat with anyone else from the people of this world, I would have thought that I would escape his anger with an excuse.' And I was given the ability to present an argument, so I mentioned the event and said, 'Indeed, I hope for the forgiveness of Allah.' And he said, 'So I said to my wife, 'Be true to your family until Allah decrees in this matter.' And I heard the sound of a loud caller, the loudest voice on the highest peak of Sal mountain, calling, 'O Ka'b ibn Malik, rejoice!' So I prostrated and knew that relief had come. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ announced to the people to repent upon us when he performed the Fajr prayer. And he mentioned the meaning of the narration of the son of my brother ibn Shihab, and said, 'So I say to myself, did he move his lips to respond to the greeting of peace?'"  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ قَالَ كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ لَمْ أَتَخَلَّفْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا قَطُّ إِلَّا فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ غَيْرَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ تَخَلَّفْتُ عَنْ غَزْوَةِ بَدْرٍ وَلَمْ يُعَاتِبْ أَحَدًا تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهَا لِأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُرِيدُ الْعِيرَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ لِقُرَيْشٍ كَانَ فِيهَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَنَفَرٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ تَعَالَ فَجِئْتُ أَمْشِي حَتَّى جَلَسْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا خَلَّفَكَ أَلَمْ تَكُنْ قَدِ ابْتَعْتَ ظَهْرَكَ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي وَاللهِ لَوْ جَلَسْتُ عِنْدَ غَيْرِكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا لَرَأَيْتُ أَنِّي سَأَخْرُجُ مِنْ سَخْطَتِهِ بِعُذْرٍ وَلَقَدْ أُعْطِيتُ جَدَلًا فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَقَالَ فِيهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو عَفْوَ اللهِ وَقَالَ فَقُلْتُ لِامْرَأَتِي الْحَقِي بِأَهْلِكِ فَكُونِي عِنْدَهُمْ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ اللهُ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ وَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ صَارِخٍ أَوْفَى عَلَى أَعْلَى جَبَلِ سَلْعٍ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ يَا كَعْبُ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَبْشِرْ قَالَ فَخَرَرْتُ سَاجِدًا وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَ فَرَجٌ وَآذَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ بِالتَّوْبَةِ عَلَيْنَا حِينَ صَلَّى صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ وَقَالَ فِيهِ فَأَقُولُ فِي نَفْسِي هَلْ حَرَّكَ شَفَتَيْهِ بِرَدِّ السَّلَامِ  

ʿAbdullah bin Abu Hadrad Al-Aslami owed Kaʿb bin Malik some money. One day the latter met the former and demanded his right, and their voices grew very loud. The Prophet ﷺ passed by them and said, "O Kaʿb," beckoning with his hand as if intending to say, "Deduct half the debts." So, Kaʿb took half what the other owed him and remitted the other half. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2706)  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ فَلَقِيَهُ فَلَزِمَهُ حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَتِ الْأَصْوَاتُ فَمَرَّ بِهِمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا كَعْبُ فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ كَأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ النِّصْفُ فَأَخَذَ نِصْفًا مِمَّا عَلَيْهِ وَتَرَكَ النِّصْفَ  

“The believer’s soul is a bird that eats from the trees of Paradise, until it will be returned to his body on the Day when he is resurrected.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4271)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّمَا نَسَمَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ طَيْرٌ يَعْلُقُ فِي شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يُرْجِعَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى جَسَدِهِ يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُ  

[Machine] "He (the narrator) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him and Aws ibn al-Hadathan during the days of tashreeq (the three days following Eid al-Adha), and they called out saying that no one enters paradise except a believer, and the days of tashreeq are the days of eating and drinking."  

أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَهُ وَأَوْسُ بْنُ الْحَدَثَانِ فِي أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ فَنَادَيَا أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ وَأَيَّامُ التَّشْرِيقِ أَيَّامُ أَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ  

"Two wolves free among sheep are no more destructive to them than a man's desire for wealth and honor is to his religion." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2376)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا ذِئْبَانِ جَائِعَانِ أُرْسِلَا فِي غَنَمٍ بِأَفْسَدَ لَهَا مِنْ حِرْصِ الْمَرْءِ عَلَى الْمَالِ وَالشَّرَفِ لِدِينِهِ  

[Machine] People used to fast during Ramadan, and when a man woke up after sleeping, it was forbidden for him to have food, drink, or have relations with women, until he broke his fast the next morning. Omar ibn Al-Khattab returned from the Prophet ﷺ one night, having spent the night with him, and found his wife sleeping. He wanted to approach her but she said, "I am sleeping." He said, "You did not sleep," and then had relations with her. Ka'b ibn Malik did the same thing. The next day, Omar went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of what happened. Allah then revealed the verse, "Allah knew that you used to deceive yourselves, so He accepted your repentance and forgave you" (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:187).  

كَانَ النَّاسُ فِي رَمَضَانَ إِذَا صَامَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَمْسَى فَنَامَ حَرُمَ عَلَيْهِ الطَّعَامُ وَالشَّرَابُ وَالنِّسَاءُ حَتَّى يُفْطِرَ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَرَجَعَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ وَقَدْ سَهِرَ عِنْدَهُ فَوَجَدَ امْرَأَتَهُ قَدْ نَامَتْ فَأَرَادَهَا فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي قَدْ نِمْتُ قَالَ مَا نِمْتِ ثُمَّ وَقَعَ بِهَا وَصَنَعَ كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَغَدَا عُمَرُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {عَلِمَ اللهُ أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَخْتَانُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَعَفَا عَنْكُمْ} [البقرة 187]  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Exalt [Allah] through poetry, for indeed, the believer strives with his own self and wealth. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, it is as if they are being adorned with elegance."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اهْجُوا بِالشِّعْرِ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُجَاهِدُ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ كَأَنَّمَا يَنْضَحُونَهُمْ بِالنَّبْلِ  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: There is no difference of opinion in it. He said: Ka'b ibn Malik narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever visits a sick person, he dives in the mercy. When he sits near him, he is submerged in it. And you have submerged yourselves in the mercy of Allah, if Allah wills."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ فِيهِ اخْتِلَافٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ عَادَ مَرِيضًا خَاضَ فِي الرَّحْمَةِ فَإِذَا جَلَسَ عِنْدَهُ اسْتَنْقَعَ فِيهَا وَقَدِ اسْتَنْقَعْتُمْ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ فِي الرَّحْمَةِ  

أَنَّ أَبَاهُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ وَكَانَ كَعْبٌ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ الْعَقَبَةَ وَبَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِهَا قَالَ خَرَجْنَا فِي حُجَّاجِ قَوْمِنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَقَدْ صَلَّيْنَا وَفَقِهْنَا وَمَعَنَا الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَعْرُورٍ كَبِيرُنَا وَسَيِّدُنَا فَلَمَّا تَوَجَّهْنَا لِسَفَرِنَا وَخَرَجْنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ الْبَرَاءُ لَنَا يَا هَؤُلَاءِ إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ وَاللهِ رَأْيًا وَإِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي تُوَافِقُونِي عَلَيْهِ أَمْ لَا قَالَ قُلْنَا لَهُ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَنْ لَا أَدَعَ هَذِهِ الْبَنِيَّةِ مِنِّي بِظَهْرٍ يَعْنِي الْكَعْبَةَ وَأَنْ أُصَلِّيَ إِلَيْهَا قَالَ فَقُلْنَا وَاللهِ مَا بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ نَبِيَّنَا يُصَلِّي إِلَّا إِلَى الشَّامِ وَمَا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نُخَالِفَهُفَقَالَ إِنِّي أُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا قَالَ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ لَكِنَّا لَا نَفْعَلُ فَكُنَّا إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ صَلَّيْنَا إِلَى الشَّامِ وَصَلَّى إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ قَالَ أَخِي وَقَدْ كُنَّا عِبْنَا عَلَيْهِ مَا صَنَعَ وَأَبَى إِلَّا الْإِقَامَةَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي انْطَلِقْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَاسْأَلْهُ عَمَّا صَنَعْتُ فِي سَفَرِي هَذَا فَإِنَّهُ وَاللهِ قَدْ وَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ لَمَّا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ خِلَافِكُمْ إِيَّايَ فِيهِ قَالَ فَخَرَجْنَا نَسْأَلُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَكُنَّا لَا نَعْرِفُهُ لَمْ نَرَهُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَلَقِيَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَعْرِفَانِهِ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا لَا قَالَ فَهَلْ تَعْرِفَانِ الْعَبَّاسَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ عَمَّهُ؟ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ وَكُنَّا نَعْرِفُ الْعَبَّاسَ كَانَ لَا يَزَالُ يَقْدَمُ عَلَيْنَا تَاجِرًا قَالَ فَإِذَا دَخَلْتُمَا الْمَسْجِدَ فَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ الْجَالِسُ مَعَ الْعَبَّاسِ قَالَ فَدَخَلْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا الْعَبَّاسُ جَالِسٌ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَعَهُ جَالِسٌ فَسَلَّمْنَا ثُمَّ جَلَسْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِلْعَبَّاسِ هَلْتَعْرِفُ هَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ يَا أَبَا الْفَضْلِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ هَذَا الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَعْرُورٍ سَيِّدُ قَوْمِهِ وَهَذَا كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ فَوَاللهِ مَا أَنْسَى قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الشَّاعِرُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَقَالَ الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَعْرُورٍ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنِّي خَرَجْتُ فِي سَفَرِي هَذَا وَهَدَانِي اللهُ لِلْإِسْلَامِ فَرَأَيْتُ أَنْ لَا أَجْعَلَ هَذِهِ الْبَنِيَّةَ مِنِّي بِظَهْرٍ فَصَلَّيْتُ إِلَيْهَا وَقَدْ خَالَفَنِي أَصْحَابِي فِي ذَلِكَ حَتَّى وَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ فَمَاذَا تَرَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ لَقَدْ كُنْتَ عَلَى قِبْلَةٍ لَوْ صَبَرْتَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ فَرَجَعَ الْبَرَاءُ إِلَى قِبْلَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى مَعَنَا إِلَى الشَّامِ قَالَ وَأَهْلُهُ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ حَتَّى مَاتَ وَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ كَمَا قَالُوا نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ وَخَرَجْنَا إِلَى الْحَجِّ فَوَاعَدْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ الْعَقَبَةَ مِنْ أَوْسَطِ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا مِنَ الْحَجِّ وَكَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي وَعَدْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَرَامٍ أَبُو جَابِرٍ سَيِّدٌ مِنْ سَادَتِنَا وَكُنَّا نَكْتُمُ مَنْ مَعَنَا مِنْ قَوْمِنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَمْرَنَا فَكَلَّمْنَاهُ وَقُلْنَا لَهُ يَا أَبَا جَابِرٍ إِنَّكَ سَيِّدٌ مِنْ سَادَتِنَا وَشَرِيفٌ مِنْ أَشْرَافِنَا وَإِنَّا نَرْغَبُ بِكَ عَمَّا أَنْتَ فِيهِ أَنْ تَكُونَ حَطَبًا لِلنَّارِ غَدًا ثُمَّ دَعَوْتُهُ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِمِيعَادِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَسْلَمَ وَشَهِدَ مَعَنَا الْعَقَبَةَ وَكَانَ نَقِيبًا قَالَ فَنِمْنَاتِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ مَعَ قَوْمِنَا فِي رِحَالِنَا حَتَّى إِذَا مَضَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ خَرَجْنَا مِنْ رِحَالِنَا لِمِيعَادِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نَتَسَلَّلُ مُسْتَخْفِينَ تَسَلُّلَ الْقَطَا حَتَّى اجْتَمَعْنَا فِي الشِّعْبِ عِنْدَ الْعَقَبَةِ وَنَحْنُ سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا وَمَعَنَا امْرَأَتَانِ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ نَسِيبَةُ بِنْتُ كَعْبٍ أُمُّ عُمَارَةَ إِحْدَى نِسَاءِ بَنِي مَازِنِ بْنِ النَّجَّارِ وَأَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ إِحْدَى نِسَاءِ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ وَهِيَ أُمُّ مَنِيعٍ قَالَ فَاجْتَمَعْنَا بِالشِّعْبِ نَنْتَظِرُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى جَاءَنَا وَمَعَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَمُّهُ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى دِينِ قَوْمِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَحْضُرَ أَمْرَ ابْنِ أَخِيهِ وَيَتَوَثَّقُ لَهُ فَلَمَّا جَلَسْنَا كَانَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ أَوَّلَ مُتَكَلِّمٍ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْخَزْرَجِ قَالَ وَكَانَتِ الْعَرَبُ مِمَّا يُسَمُّونَ هَذَا الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ الْخَزْرَجَ أَوْسَهَا وَخَزْرَجَهَا إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا مِنَّا حَيْثُ قَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ وَقَدْ مَنَعْنَاهُ مِنْ قَوْمِنَا مِمَّنْ هُوَ عَلَى مِثْلِ رَأْيِنَا فِيهِ وَهُوَ فِي عِزٍّ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ وَمَنَعَةٍ فِي بَلَدِهِ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا مَا قُلْتَ فَتَكَلَّمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ وَلِرَبِّكَ مَا أَحْبَبْتَ قَالَ فَتَكَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَتَلَا وَدَعَا إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ وَرَغَّبَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ قَالَ أُبَايِعُكُمْ عَلَى أَنْ تَمْنَعُونِي مِمَّا تَمْنَعُونَ مِنْهُ نِسَاءَكُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَعْرُورٍ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَنَمْنَعَنَّكَ مِمَّا نَمْنَعُ مِنْهُأُزُرَنَا فَبَايِعْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَنَحْنُ أَهْلُ الْحُرُوبِ وَأَهْلُ الْحَلْقَةِ وَرِثْنَاهَا كَابِرًا عَنْ كَابِرٍ قَالَ فَاعْتَرَضَ الْقَوْلَ وَالْبَرَاءُ يُكَلِّمُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ بْنُ التَّيِّهَانِ حَلِيفُ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ الرِّجَالِ حِبَالًا وَإِنَّا قَاطِعُوهَا يَعْنِي الْعُهُودَ فَهَلْ عَسَيْتَ إِنْ نَحْنُ فَعَلْنَا ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ أَظْهَرَكَ اللهُ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَى قَوْمِكَ وَتَدَعَنَا؟ قَالَ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ بَلِ الدَّمَ الدَّمَ وَالْهَدْمَ الْهَدْمَ أَنَا مِنْكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ مِنِّي أُحَارِبُ مَنْ حَارَبْتُمْ وَأُسَالِمُ مَنْ سَالَمْتُمْ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَخْرِجُوا إِلَيَّ مِنْكُمْ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ نَقِيبًا يَكُونُونَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِمْ فَأَخْرَجُوا مِنْهُمْ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ نَقِيبًا مِنْهُمْ تِسْعَةٌ مِنَ الْخَزْرَجِ وَثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْأَوْسِ وَأَمَّا مَعْبَدُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ فَحَدَّثَنِي فِي حَدِيثِهِ عَنْ أَخِيهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ ضَرَبَ عَلَى يَدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَعْرُورٍ ثُمَّ تَتَابَعَ الْقَوْمُ فَلَمَّا بَايَعَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺصَرَخَ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنْ رَأْسِ الْعَقَبَةِ بِأَبْعَدِ صَوْتٍ سَمِعْتُهُ قَطُّ يَا أَهْلَ الْجُبَاجِبِ وَالْجُبَاجِبُ الْمَنَازِلُ هَلْ لَكُمْ فِي مُذَمَّمٍ وَالصُّبَاةُ مَعَهُ؟ قَدْ أَجْمَعُوا عَلَى حَرْبِكُمْ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ مَا يَقُولُهُ عَدُوُّ اللهِ مُحَمَّدٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَذَا أَزَبُّ الْعَقَبَةِ هَذَا ابْنُ أَزْيَبَ اسْمَعْ أَيْ عَدُوَّ اللهِ أَمَا وَاللهِ لَأَفْرُغَنَّ لَكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ارْفَعُوا إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ نَضْلَةَ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَئِنْ شِئْتَ لَنَمِيلَنَّ عَلَى أَهْلِ مِنًى غَدًا بِأَسْيَافِنَا قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ أُؤمَرْ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ فَرَجَعْنَا فَنِمْنَا حَتَّى أَصْبَحْنَا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا غَدَتْ عَلَيْنَا جُلَّةُ قُرَيْشٍ حَتَّى جَاءُونَا فِي مَنَازِلِنَا فَقَالُوا يَا مَعْشَرَ الْخَزْرَجِ إِنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّكُمْ قَدْ جِئْتُمْ إِلَى صَاحِبِنَا هَذَا تَسْتَخْرِجُونَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَظْهُرِنَا وَتُبَايِعُونَهُ عَلَى حَرْبِنَا وَاللهِ إِنَّهُ مَا مِنَ الْعَرَبِ أَحَدٌ أَبْغَضَ إِلَيْنَا أَنْ تَنْشَبَ الْحَرْبُ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُ مِنْكُمْ قَالَ فَانْبَعَثَ مَنْ هُنَالِكَ مِنْ مُشْرِكِي قَوْمِنَا يَحْلِفُونَ لَهُمْ بِاللهِ مَا كَانَ مِنْ هَذَا شَيْءٌ وَمَا عَلِمْنَاهُ وَقَدْ صَدَقُوا لَمْ يَعْلَمُوا مَا كَانَ مِنَّا قَالَ فَبَعْضُنَا يَنْظُرُإِلَى بَعْضٍ قَالَ وَقَامَ الْقَوْمُ وَفِيهِمُ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ وَعَلَيْهِ نَعْلَانِ جَدِيدَانِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ كَلِمَةً كَأَنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ الْقَوْمَ بِهَا فِيمَا قَالُوا مَا تَسْتَطِيعُ يَا أَبَا جَابِرٍ وَأَنْتَ سَيِّدٌ مِنْ سَادَتِنَا أَنْ تَتَّخِذَ نَعْلَيْنِ مِثْلَ نَعْلَيْ هَذَا الْفَتَى مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَسَمِعَهَا الْحَارِثُ فَخَلَعَهُمَا ثُمَّ رَمَى بِهِمَا إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ لَتَنْتَعِلَنَّهُمَا قَالَ يَقُولُ أَبُو جَابِرٍ أَحْفَظْتَ وَاللهِ الْفَتَى فَارْدُدْ عَلَيْهِ نَعْلَيْهِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ لَا أَرُدَّهُمَا فَأْلٌ وَاللهِ صَالْحٌ وَاللهِ لَئِنْ صَدَقَ الْفَأْلُ لَأَسْلُبَنَّهُ
