Asma' bint Abi Bakr As-Siddiq said, "I went to 'Aishah and the people were offering Salat. I asked her, 'What is wrong with the people ?' She pointed towards the sky with her head. I asked her, 'Is there a sign ?' 'Aishah nodded with her head meaning 'Yes'." Asma' added, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ prolonged the Salat to such an extent that I fainted. There was a waterskin by my side and I opened it and poured some water on my head. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished Salat, and the solar eclipse had cleared, the Prophet ﷺ addressed the people and praised Allah as He deserves and said, 'Amma ba'du'." Asma' further said, "Some Ansari women started talking, so I turned to them in order to make them quiet. I asked 'Aishah what the Prophet ﷺ had said. 'Aishah said: 'He said, 'I have seen things at this place of mine which were never shown to me before; (I have seen) even Paradise and Hell. And, no doubt it has been revealed to me that you (people) will be put in trial in your graves like or nearly like the trial of Masih Ad-Dajjal. (The angels) will come to everyone of you and ask him, 'What do you know about this man (Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) ?" The faithful believer or firm believer (Hisham was in doubt which word the Prophet ﷺ used), will say, 'He is Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he is Muhammad ﷺ who came to us with clear evidences and guidance. So we believed him, accepted his teachings and followed and trusted his teaching.' Then the angels will tell him to sleep (in peace) as they have come to know that he was a believer. But the hypocrite or a doubtful person (Hisham is not sure as to which word the Prophet ﷺ used), will be asked what he knew about this man (Prophet Muhammed ﷺ). He will say, 'I do not know but I heard the people saying something (about him) so I said the same' " Hisham added, "Fatima told me that she remembered that narration completely by heart except that she said about the hypocrite or a doubtful person that he will be punished severely."

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ ؓ وَالنَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ قُلْتُ مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقُلْتُ آيَةٌ فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا أَىْ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ فَأَطَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جِدًّا حَتَّى تَجَلاَّنِي الْغَشْىُ وَإِلَى جَنْبِي قِرْبَةٌ فِيهَا مَاءٌ فَفَتَحْتُهَا فَجَعَلْتُ أَصُبُّ مِنْهَا عَلَى رَأْسِي فَانْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ وَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ قَالَتْ وَلَغِطَ نِسْوَةٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَانْكَفَأْتُ إِلَيْهِنَّ لأُسَكِّتَهُنَّ فَقُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ مَا قَالَ قَالَتْ قَالَ مَا مِنْ شَىْءٍ لَمْ أَكُنْ أُرِيتُهُ إِلاَّ قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا حَتَّى الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّكُمْ تُفْتَنُونَ فِي الْقُبُورِ مِثْلَ أَوْ قَرِيبَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ يُؤْتَى أَحَدُكُمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مَا عِلْمُكَ بِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ أَوْ قَالَ الْمُوقِنُ شَكَّ هِشَامٌ فَيَقُولُ هُوَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ هُوَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ جَاءَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى فَآمَنَّا وَأَجَبْنَا وَاتَّبَعْنَا وَصَدَّقْنَا فَيُقَالُ لَهُ نَمْ صَالِحًا قَدْ كُنَّا نَعْلَمُ إِنْ كُنْتَ لَتُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَأَمَّا الْمُنَافِقُ أَوْ قَالَ الْمُرْتَابُ شَكَّ هِشَامٌ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مَا عِلْمُكَ بِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ فَيَقُولُ لاَ أَدْرِي سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُهُ قَالَ هِشَامٌ فَلَقَدْ قَالَتْ لِي فَاطِمَةُ فَأَوْعَيْتُهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهَا ذَكَرَتْ مَا يُغَلِّظُ عَلَيْهِ

We set out in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day (of the battle) of Hunain. When we faced the enemy, the Muslims retreated and I saw a pagan throwing himself over a Muslim. I turned around and came upon him from behind and hit him on the shoulder with the sword He (i.e. the pagan) came towards me and seized me so violently that I felt as if it were death itself, but death overtook him and he released me. I followed ʿUmar bin Al Khattab and asked (him), "What is wrong with the people (fleeing)?" He replied, "This is the Will of Allah," After the people returned, the Prophet ﷺ sat and said, "Anyone who has killed an enemy and has a proof of that, will posses his spoils." I got up and said, "Who will be a witness for me?" and then sat down. The Prophet ﷺ again said, "Anyone who has killed an enemy and has proof of that, will possess his spoils." I (again) got up and said, "Who will be a witness for me?" and sat down. Then the Prophet ﷺ said the same for the third time. I again got up, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Abu Qatada! What is your story?" Then I narrated the whole story to him. A man (got up and) said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! He is speaking the truth, and the spoils of the killed man are with me. So please compensate him on my behalf." On that Abu Bakr As-Siddiq said, "No, by Allah, he (i.e. Messenger of Allah ﷺ ) will not agree to give you the spoils gained by one of Allah's Lions who fights on the behalf of Allah and His Apostle." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Abu Bakr has spoken the truth." So, Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave the spoils to me. I sold that armor (i.e. the spoils) and with its price I bought a garden at Bani Salima, and this was my first property which I gained after my conversion to Islam.

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَامَ حُنَيْنٍ فَلَمَّا الْتَقَيْنَا كَانَتْ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ جَوْلَةٌ فَرَأَيْتُ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ عَلاَ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَاسْتَدَرْتُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُهُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ حَتَّى ضَرَبْتُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ عَلَى حَبْلِ عَاتِقِهِ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَىَّ فَضَمَّنِي ضَمَّةً وَجَدْتُ مِنْهَا رِيحَ الْمَوْتِ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَهُ الْمَوْتُ فَأَرْسَلَنِي فَلَحِقْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَقُلْتُ مَا بَالُ النَّاسِ قَالَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّاسَ رَجَعُوا وَجَلَسَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَنْ قَتَلَ قَتِيلاً لَهُ عَلَيْهِ بَيِّنَةٌ فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ فَقُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لِي ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ قَتَلَ قَتِيلاً لَهُ عَلَيْهِ بَيِّنَةٌ فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ فَقُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لِي ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ الثَّالِثَةَ مِثْلَهُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ صَدَقَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَلَبُهُ عِنْدِي فَأَرْضِهِ عَنِّي فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ ؓ لاَهَا اللَّهِ إِذًا يَعْمِدُ إِلَى أَسَدٍ مِنْ أُسْدِ اللَّهِ يُقَاتِلُ عَنِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ﷺ يُعْطِيكَ سَلَبَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صَدَقَ فَأَعْطَاهُ فَبِعْتُ الدِّرْعَ فَابْتَعْتُ بِهِ مَخْرِفًا فِي بَنِي سَلِمَةَ فَإِنَّهُ لأَوَّلُ مَالٍ تَأَثَّلْتُهُ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ

When Allah favored His Apostle with the properties of Hawazin tribe as Fai (booty), he started giving to some Quarries men even up to one-hundred camels each, whereupon some Ansari men said about Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "May Allah forgive His Apostle! He is giving to (men of) Quraish and leaves us, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dropping blood (of the infidels)" When Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed of what they had said, he called the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent and did not call anybody else along, with them. When they gathered, Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said, "What is the statement which, I have been informed, and that which you have said?" The learned ones among them replied," O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! The wise ones amongst us did not say anything, but the youngsters amongst us said, 'May Allah forgive His Apostle; he gives the Quarish and leaves the Ansar, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dribbling (wet) with the blood of the infidels.' " Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, I give to such people as are still close to the period of Infidelity (i.e. they have recently embraced Islam and Faith is still weak in their hearts). Won't you be pleased to see people go with fortune, while you return with Messenger of Allah ﷺ to your houses? By Allah, what you will return with, is better than what they are returning with." The Ansar replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we are satisfied' Then the Prophet ﷺ said to them." You will find after me, others being preferred to you. Then be patient till you meet Allah and meet His Apostle at Al-Kauthar (i.e. a fount in Paradise)." (Anas added:) But we did not remain patient.

أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ مَا أَفَاءَ فَطَفِقَ يُعْطِي رِجَالاً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الإِبِلِ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَدَعُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَحُدِّثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِمَقَالَتِهِمْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ وَلَمْ يَدْعُ مَعَهُمْ أَحَدًا غَيْرَهُمْ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا كَانَ حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ قَالَ لَهُ فُقَهَاؤُهُمْ أَمَّا ذَوُو آرَائِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا أُنَاسٌ مِنَّا حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُ الأَنْصَارَ وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالاً حَدِيثٌ عَهْدُهُمْ بِكُفْرٍ أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالأَمْوَالِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ بَعْدِي أُثْرَةً شَدِيدَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوُا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ﷺ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَلَمْ نَصْبِرْ

(the wife of the Prophet) Messenger of Allah ﷺ died while Abu Bakr was at a place called As-Sunah (Al-'Aliya) 'Umar stood up and said, "By Allah! Messenger of Allah ﷺ is not dead!" 'Umar (later on) said, "By Allah! Nothing occurred to my mind except that." He said, "Verily! Allah will resurrect him and he will cut the hands and legs of some men." Then Abu Bakr came and uncovered the face of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, kissed him and said, "Let my mother and father be sacrificed for you, (O Messenger of Allah ﷺ), you are good in life and in death. By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, Allah will never make you taste death twice." Then he went out and said, "O oath-taker! Don't be hasty." When Abu Bakr spoke, 'Umar sat down. Abu Bakr praised and glorified Allah and said, No doubt! Whoever worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall never die." Then he recited Allah's Statement.:-- "(O Muhammad) Verily you will die, and they also will die." (39.30) He also recited:-- "Muhammad is no more than an Apostle; and indeed many Apostles have passed away, before him, If he dies Or is killed, will you then Turn back on your heels? And he who turns back On his heels, not the least Harm will he do to Allah And Allah will give reward to those Who are grateful." (3.144) The people wept loudly, and the Ansar were assembled with Sad bin 'Ubada in the shed of Bani Saida. They said (to the emigrants). "There should be one 'Amir from us and one from you." Then Abu Bakr, Umar bin Al-Khattab and Abu 'baida bin Al-Jarrah went to them. 'Umar wanted to speak but Abu Bakr stopped him. 'Umar later on used to say, "By Allah, I intended only to say something that appealed to me and I was afraid that Abu Bakr would not speak so well. Then Abu Bakr spoke and his speech was very eloquent. He said in his statement, "We are the rulers and you (Ansars) are the ministers (i.e. advisers)," Hubab bin Al-Mundhir said, "No, by Allah we won't accept this. But there must be a ruler from us and a ruler from you." Abu Bakr said, "No, we will be the rulers and you will be the ministers, for they (i.e. Quarish) are the best family amongst the 'Arabs and of best origin. So you should elect either 'Umar or Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah as your ruler." 'Umar said (to Abu Bakr), "No but we elect you, for you are our chief and the best amongst us and the most beloved of all of us to Messenger of Allah ﷺ." So 'Umar took Abu Bakr's hand and gave the pledge of allegiance and the people too gave the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr. Someone said, "You have killed Sad bin Ubada." 'Umar said, "Allah has killed him."

We set out along with the Prophet ﷺ during the year of (the battle of) Hunain, and when we faced the enemy, the Muslims (with the exception of the Prophet ﷺ and some of his companions) retreated (before the enemy). I saw one of the pagans over-powering one of the Muslims, so I struck the pagan from behind his neck causing his armor to be cut off. The pagan headed towards me and pressed me so forcibly that I felt as if I was dying. Then death took him over and he released me. Afterwards I followed ʿUmar and said to him, "What is wrong with the people?" He said, "It is the Order of Allah." Then the Muslims returned (to the battle after the flight) and (after overcoming the enemy) the Prophet sat and said, "Whoever had killed an Infidel and has an evidence to this issue, will have the Salb (i.e. the belonging of the deceased e.g. clothes, arms, horse, etc)." I (stood up) and said, "Who will be my witness?" and then sat down. Then the Prophet ﷺ repeated his question. Then the Prophet ﷺ said the same (for the third time). I got up and said, "Who will be my witness?" and then sat down. The Prophet ﷺ asked his former question again. So I got up. The Prophet ﷺ said, What is the matter, O Abu Qatada?" So I narrated the whole story; A man said, "Abu Qatada has spoken the truth, and the Salb of the deceased is with me, so please compensate Abu Qatada on my behalf." Abu Bakr said, "No! By Allah, it will never happen that the Prophet ﷺ will leave a Lion of Allah who fights for the Sake of Allah and His Apostle and give his spoils to you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Abu Bakr has spoken the truth. Give it (the spoils) back to him (O man)!" So he gave it to me and I bought a garden in (the land of) Banu Salama with it (i.e. the spoils) and that was the first property I got after embracing Islam.

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَامَ حُنَيْنٍ فَلَمَّا الْتَقَيْنَا كَانَتْ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ جَوْلَةٌ فَرَأَيْتُ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَدْ عَلاَ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَضَرَبْتُهُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ عَلَى حَبْلِ عَاتِقِهِ بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَطَعْتُ الدِّرْعَ وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَىَّ فَضَمَّنِي ضَمَّةً وَجَدْتُ مِنْهَا رِيحَ الْمَوْتِ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَهُ الْمَوْتُ فَأَرْسَلَنِي فَلَحِقْتُ عُمَرَ فَقُلْتُ مَا بَالُ النَّاسِ قَالَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ ﷻ ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا وَجَلَسَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَنْ قَتَلَ قَتِيلاً لَهُ عَلَيْهِ بَيِّنَةٌ فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لِي ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِثْلَهُ فَقُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لِي ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِثْلَهُ فَقُمْتُ فَقَالَ مَالَكَ يَا أَبَا قَتَادَةَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ صَدَقَ وَسَلَبُهُ عِنْدِي فَأَرْضِهِ مِنِّي فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لاَهَا اللَّهِ إِذًا لاَ يَعْمِدُ إِلَى أَسَدٍ مِنْ أُسْدِ اللَّهِ يُقَاتِلُ عَنِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ﷺ فَيُعْطِيَكَ سَلَبَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صَدَقَ فَأَعْطِهِ فَأَعْطَانِيهِ فَابْتَعْتُ بِهِ مَخْرَفًا فِي بَنِي سَلِمَةَ فَإِنَّهُ لأَوَّلُ مَالٍ تَأَثَّلْتُهُ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ

When Allah gave Messenger of Allah ﷺ what he gave of the properties of the Hawazin tribe as a war booty, the Prophet ﷺ started giving some men 100 camels each. The Ansar (then) said, "May Allah forgive Messenger of Allah ﷺs as he gives to Quraish and leaves us although our swords are still dribbling with the blood of Quraish." Allah Apostle was informed of their statement, so he sent for the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent, and did not call anybody else along with them. When they al I gathered, the Prophet ﷺ got up and said, "What is this talk being informed to me about you?" The learned men amongst the Ansar said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Our chiefs did not say anything, but some people amongst us who are younger in age said. 'May Allah forgive Messenger of Allah ﷺ as he gives (of the booty) to Quraish and leaves us though our swords are still dribbling with their blood." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I give to these men who have newly deserted heathenism (and embraced Islam) so as to attract their hearts. Won't you be happy that the people take the wealth while you take the Prophet ﷺ with you to your homes? By Allah, what you are taking is better than whatever they are taking." They (i.e. the Ansar) said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We are satisfied." The Prophet ﷺ then said to them. "You will find others favored over you greatly, so be patient till you meet Allah and His Apostle and I will be at the Tank then." Anas added: But they did not remain patient.

نَاسٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ حِينَ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ مَا أَفَاءَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ فَطَفِقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُعْطِي رِجَالاً الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الإِبِلِ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَحُدِّثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَقَالَتِهِمْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ وَلَمْ يَدْعُ مَعَهُمْ غَيْرَهُمْ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا قَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ فَقَالَ فُقَهَاءُ الأَنْصَارِ أَمَّا رُؤَسَاؤُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا نَاسٌ مِنَّا حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَإِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالاً حَدِيثِي عَهْدٍ بِكُفْرٍ أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالأَمْوَالِ وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ فَوَاللَّهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا فَقَالَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَتَجِدُونَ أُثْرَةً شَدِيدَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوُا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ﷺ فَإِنِّي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَلَمْ يَصْبِرُوا

One day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appeared before the public so a man came to him and then said: Prophet of Allah, what is Iman? Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) replied: That you affirm your faith in Allah, His angels, His Books, His meeting, His Messengers and that you affirm your faith in the Resurrection hereafter. He said: Messenger of Allah, what is al-Islam? He replied: Al-Islam is that you worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him and you establish obligatory prayer and you pay the obligatory alms (Zakat) and you observe the fast of Ramadan. He said: Messenger of Allah, what is al-Ihsan? He replied: That you worship Allah as if you are seeing Him, and for if you fail to see Him. He said: Messenger of Allah, when is the Hour (of Doom)? He replied: The one who is asked about it is no better informed than the inquirer, however I will narrate some of its signs to you. When the slave-girl will give birth to her master, then that is from its signs. When the naked, barefooted would become the chiefs of the people, then that is from its signs. When the shepherds of the black (camels) would exult themselves in buildings, then that is from its signs. (The Hour is) Among one of the five which no one knows but Allah. Then he recited (the verse): "Verily Allah! with Him alone is the knowledge of the Hour and He it is Who sends down the rain and knows that which is in the wombs. And no soul knows what it shall earn tomorrow, and a soul knows not in what land it shall die. Verily Allah is Knowing, Aware." He (Abu Huraira) said: Then the person turned back and went away. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Bring that man back to me. They went to bring him back, but they saw nothing there. Upon this the Messenger of Allah remarked: he was Gabriel, who came to teach the people their religion.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا بَارِزًا لِلنَّاسِ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الإِيمَانُ قَالَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلاَئِكَتِهِ وَكِتَابِهِ وَلِقَائِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْبَعْثِ الآخِرِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الإِسْلاَمُ قَالَ الإِسْلاَمُ أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ وَلاَ تُشْرِكَ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلاَةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤَدِّيَ الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الإِحْسَانُ قَالَ أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لاَ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ قَالَ مَا الْمَسْئُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنَ السَّائِلِ وَلَكِنْ سَأُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا إِذَا وَلَدَتِ الأَمَةُ رَبَّهَا فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا وَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْعُرَاةُ الْحُفَاةُ رُءُوسَ النَّاسِ فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا وَإِذَا تَطَاوَلَ رِعَاءُ الْبَهْمِ فِي الْبُنْيَانِ فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا فِي خَمْسٍ لاَ يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تَلاَ ﷺ { إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الأَرْحَامِ وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مَاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًا وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَىِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ} قَالَ ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رُدُّوا عَلَىَّ الرَّجُلَ فَأَخَذُوا لِيَرُدُّوهُ فَلَمْ يَرَوْا شَيْئًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ جَاءَ لِيُعَلِّمَ النَّاسَ دِينَهُمْ

May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he bestowed (these camels) upon the people of Quraish, and he ignored us, whereas our swords are still dripping blood. Anas b. Malik said: Their statement was conveyed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he sent (someone) to the Ansar and gathered them under a tent of leather. When they had assembled, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said: What is this news that has reached me from you? The wise people of the Ansar said: Messenger of Allah, so far as the sagacious amongst us are concerned they have said nothing, but we have amongst us persons of immature age; they said: May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he gave to the Quraish and ignored us (despite the fact) that our swords are besmeared with their blood. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I give (at times material gifts) to persons who were quite recently in the state of unbelief, so that I may incline them to truth Don't you feel delighted that people should go with riches, and you should go back to your places with the Messenger of Allah? By Allah, that with which you would return is better than that with which they would return. They said: Yes, Messenger of Allah, we are pleased. The Prophet said too: You would find marked preference (in conferring of the material gifts) in future, so you should show patience till you meet Allah and His Messenger and I would he at the Haud Kauthar. They said: We would show patience.

أَنَّ أُنَاسًا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ حِينَ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ مَا أَفَاءَ فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي رِجَالاً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الإِبِلِ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَحُدِّثَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ قَوْلِهِمْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ فُقَهَاءُ الأَنْصَارِ أَمَّا ذَوُو رَأْيِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا أُنَاسٌ مِنَّا حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ قَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِهِ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالاً حَدِيثِي عَهْدٍ بِكُفْرٍ أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ أَفَلاَ تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالأَمْوَالِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَوَاللَّهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ فَقَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا قَالَ فَإِنَّكُمْ سَتَجِدُونَ أَثَرَةً شَدِيدَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوُا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنِّي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ قَالُوا سَنَصْبِرُ

We accompanied the Messenger of Allah (my peace be upon him) on an expedition in the year of the Battle of Hunain. When we encountered the enemy, (some of the Muslims turned back (in fear). I saw that a man from the polytheists overpowered one of the Muslims. I turned round and attacked him from behind giving a blow between his neck and shoulder. He turned towards me and grappled with me in such a way that I began to see death staring me in the face. Then death overtook him and left me alone. I joined 'Umar b. al-Khattab who was saying: What has happened to the people (that they are retreating)? I said: It is the Decree of Allah. Then the people returned. (The battle ended in a victory for the Muslims) and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat down (to distribute the spoils of war). He said: One who has killed an enemy and can bring evidence to prove it will get his belongings. So I stood up and said: Who will give evidence for me? Then I sat down. Then he (the Holy Prophet) said like this. I stood up (again) and said: Who will bear witness for me? He (the Holy Prophet) made the same observation the third time, and I stood up (once again). Now the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What has happened to you, O Abu Qatada? Then I related the (whole) story, to him. At this, one of the people said: He has told the truth. Messenger of Allah 1 The belongings of the enemy killed by him are with me. Persuade him to forgo his right (in my favour). (Objecting to this proposal) Abu Bakr said: BY Allah, this will not happen. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ will not like to deprive one of the lions from among the lions of Allah who fight in the cause of Allah and His Messenger and give thee his share of the booty. So the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) said: He (Abu Bakr) has told the truth, and so give the belongings to him (Abu Qatada). So he gave them to me. I sold the armour (which was a part of my share of the booty) and bought with the sale proceeds a garden in the street of Banu Salama. This was the first property I acquired after embracing Islam. In a version of the hadith narrated by Laith, the words uttered by Abu Bakr are:" No, never! He will not give it to a fox from the Quraish leaving aside a lion from the lions of Allah among...." And the hadith is closed with the words:" The first property I acquired."

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَامَ حُنَيْنٍ فَلَمَّا الْتَقَيْنَا كَانَتْ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ جَوْلَةٌ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَدْ عَلاَ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَاسْتَدَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُهُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ فَضَرَبْتُهُ عَلَى حَبْلِ عَاتِقِهِ وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَىَّ فَضَمَّنِي ضَمَّةً وَجَدْتُ مِنْهَا رِيحَ الْمَوْتِ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَهُ الْمَوْتُ فَأَرْسَلَنِي فَلَحِقْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ مَا لِلنَّاسِ فَقُلْتُ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّاسَ رَجَعُوا وَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَنْ قَتَلَ قَتِيلاً لَهُ عَلَيْهِ بَيِّنَةٌ فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ قَالَ فَقُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لِي ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ فَقُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لِي ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ذَلِكَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقُمْتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا لَكَ يَا أَبَا قَتَادَةَ فَقَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْقِصَّةَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ صَدَقَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سَلَبُ ذَلِكَ الْقَتِيلِ عِنْدِي فَأَرْضِهِ مِنْ حَقِّهِ وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ لاَهَا اللَّهِ إِذًا لاَ يَعْمِدُ إِلَى أَسَدٍ مِنْ أُسُدِ اللَّهِ يُقَاتِلُ عَنِ اللَّهِ وَعَنْ رَسُولِهِ فَيُعْطِيكَ سَلَبَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَدَقَ فَأَعْطِهِ إِيَّاهُ فَأَعْطَانِي قَالَ فَبِعْتُ الدِّرْعَ فَابْتَعْتُ بِهِ مَخْرَفًا فِي بَنِي سَلِمَةَ فَإِنَّهُ لأَوَّلُ مَالٍ تَأَثَّلْتُهُ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ وَفِي حَدِيثِ اللَّيْثِ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ كَلاَّ لاَ يُعْطِيهِ أُضَيْبِعَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَيَدَعُ أَسَدًا مِنْ أُسُدِ اللَّهِ وَفِي حَدِيثِ اللَّيْثِ لأَوَّلُ مَالٍ تَأَثَّلْتُهُ

When it was the day on which the Battle of Badr was fought, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ cast a glance at the infidels, and they were one thousand while his own Companions were three hundred and nineteen. The Prophet ﷺ turned (his face) towards the Qibla. Then he stretched his hands and began his supplication to his Lord: "O Allah, accomplish for me what Thou hast promised to me. O Allah, bring about what Thou hast promised to me. O Allah, if this small band of Muslims is destroyed. Thou will not be worshipped on this earth." He continued his supplication to his Lord, stretching his hands, facing the Qibla, until his mantle slipped down from his shoulders. So Abu Bakr came to him, picked up his mantle and put it on his shoulders. Then he embraced him from behind and said: Prophet of Allah, this prayer of yours to your Lord will suffice you, and He will fulfill for you what He has promised you. So Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, revealed (the Qur'anic verse): "When ye appealed to your Lord for help, He responded to your call (saying): I will help you with one thousand angels coming in succession." So Allah helped him with angels. Abu Zumail said that the hadith was narrated to him by Ibn ʿAbbas who said: While on that day a Muslim was chasing a disbeliever who was going ahead of him, he heard over him the swishing of the whip and the voice of the rider saying: Go ahead, Haizum! He glanced at the polytheist who had (now) fallen down on his back. When he looked at him (carefully he found that) there was a scar on his nose and his face was torn as if it had been lashed with a whip, and had turned green with its poison. An Ansari came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and related this (event) to him. He said: You have told the truth. This was the help from the third heaven. The Muslims that day (i.e. the day of the Battle of Badr) killed seventy persons and captured seventy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Bakr and ʿUmar (Allah be pleased with them): What is your opinion about these captives? Abu Bakr said: They are our kith and kin. I think you should release them after getting from them a ransom. This will be a source of strength to us against the infidels. It is quite possible that Allah may guide them to Islam. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What is your opinion, Ibn Khattab? He said: Messenger of Allah, I do not hold the same opinion as Abu Bakr. I am of the opinion that you should hand them over to us so that we may cut off their heads. Hand over ʿAqil to ʿAli that he may cut off his head, and hand over such and such relative to me that I may cut off his head. They are leaders of the disbelievers and veterans among them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ approved the opinion of Abu Bakr and did not approve what I said. The next day when I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I found that both he and Abu Bakr were sitting shedding tears. I said: Messenger of Allah, why are you and your Companion shedding tears? Tell me the reason. For I will weep, or I will at least pretend to weep in sympathy with you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I weep for what has happened to your companions for taking ransom (from the prisoners). I was shown the torture to which they were subjected. It was brought to me as close as this tree. (He pointed to a tree close to him.) Then God revealed the verse: "It is not befitting for a prophet that he should take prisoners until the force of the disbelievers has been crushed..." to the end of the verse: "so eat ye the spoils of war, (it is) lawful and pure. So Allah made booty lawful for them."

We marched upon Khaibar with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We journeyed during the night. One of the people said to (my brother) 'Amir b. al-Akwa': Won't you recite to us some of your verses? Amir was a poet. So he began to chant his verses to urge the camels, reciting: O God, if Thou hadst not guided us We would have neither been guided rightly nor practised charity, Nor offered prayers. We wish to lay down our lives for Thee; so forgive Thou our lapses, And keep us steadfast when we encounter (our enemies). Bestow upon us peace and tranquillity. Behold, when with a cry they called upon us to help. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Who is this driver (of the camels)? They said: It is 'Amir. He said: God will show mercy to him. A man said: Martyrdom is reserved for him. Messenger of Allah, would that you had allowed us to benefit ourselves from his life. (The narrator says): We reached Khaibar and besieged them, and (we continued the siege) until extreme hunger afflicted us. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Behold, God has conquered it for you. When it was evening of the day on which the city was conquered. the Muslims lit many fires. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What are these fires? And what are they cooking? They said: They are cooking meat. He asked. Which meat? They said: That of domestic asses. He said: Let them throw it away and break the pots (in which it is being cooked). A man said: Or should they throw it away and wash the pots? He said: They may do that. When the people drew themselves up in battle array 'Amir caught hold of his sword that was rather short He drove a Jew before him to strike him with it. (As he struck him), his sword recoiled and struck his own knee, and 'Amir died of the wound. When the people returned (after the conquest of Kliaibar) and he (Salama) had caught hold of my hand, and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw that I was silent (and dejected) ; he said: What's the matter with thee? I said to him: My father and my mother be thy ransom, people presume that 'Amir's sacrifice has been in vain. He asked: Who has said that? I said: So and so and Usaid b. Hudair al-Ansari. He said: Who has said that has lied. For him (for 'Amir) there is a double reward. (He indicated this by putting two of his fingers together.) He was a devotee of God and a warrior fighting for His cause. There will be hardly any Arab who can fight as bravely as he did. Qutaiba has differed in a few words.

On the day of the Battle of Khaibar my brother fought a fierce fight by the side of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. His sword rebounded and killed him. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon hill) talked about his death and doubted (whether it was martyrdom). (They said): (He is) a man killed by his own weapon, and expressed doubt about his affair. Salama said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from Khaibar, I said: Messenger of Allah, permit me that I may recite to you some rajaz verses. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ permitted him. 'Umar b. Khattab said: I know what you will recite. I recited: By God, if God had guided us not, We would hive neither been guided aright nor practised charity, Nor offered prayers. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What you have said is true, 'I (continued): And descend on us peace and tranquillity And keep us steadfast if we encounter (with our enemies) And the polytheists have rebelled against us. When I finished my rajaz, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Who composed these verses? I said: They were composed by my brother. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: May God show mercy to him! I said: By God, some people are reluctant to invoke God's mercy on him (because) they say he is a man who died by his own sword. (Hearing this) the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He died as God's devotee and warrior. Ibn Shihab has said: I asked one of the sons of Salama (b. Akwa') about (the death of 'Amir). He related to me a similar tradition except that he said: When I said some people were reluctant invoke God's blessings on him, the Messenger of Allah (may peace be, upon him said: They lied. ('Amir) died as God's devotee and warrior (in the cause of Allah). For him there is a double reward, and he pointed out this by putting his two fingers together.

Abu Qatadah said “We went out with the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ in the year of Hunain. And when the armies met, the Muslims suffered a reverse. I saw one of the polytheists prevailing over a Muslim, so I went round him till I came to him from behind and struck him with my sword at the vein between his neck and shoulder. He came towards me and closed with me, so that I felt death was near, but he was overtaken by death and let me go. I then caught upon on “Umar bin Al Khattab and said to him “What is the matter with the people?” He said “It is what Allaah has commanded. Then the people returned and the Apostle of Allaah ﷺsat down and said “If anyone kills a man and can prove it, he will get his spoil. I stood up and said “Who will testify for me? I then sat down.” He said again “If anyone kills a man and can prove it, he will get his spoil. I stood up and said “Who will testify for me? I then sat down.” He then said the same for the third time. I then stood up. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “What is the matter with you, Abu Qatadah? I told him the story. A man from the people said “He has spoken the truth, and I have this spoil with me, so make him agreeable (to take something in exchange). Abu Bakr said “In that case I swear by Allaah that he must not do so. One of the Allaah’s heroes does not fight for Allaah and his Apostle and then give you his spoil. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “He has spoken the truth, hand it over to him. Abu Qatadah said “he handed it over to me, I sold the coat of mail and brought a garden among Banu Salamh. This was the first property I acquired in the Islamic period.

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي عَامِ حُنَيْنٍ فَلَمَّا الْتَقَيْنَا كَانَتْ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ جَوْلَةٌ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَدْ عَلاَ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ فَاسْتَدَرْتُ لَهُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُهُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ عَلَى حَبْلِ عَاتِقِهِ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَىَّ فَضَمَّنِي ضَمَّةً وَجَدْتُ مِنْهَا رِيحَ الْمَوْتِ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَهُ الْمَوْتُ فَأَرْسَلَنِي فَلَحِقْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَقُلْتُ مَا بَالُ النَّاسِ قَالَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّاسَ رَجَعُوا وَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ مَنْ قَتَلَ قَتِيلاً لَهُ عَلَيْهِ بَيِّنَةٌ فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ قَالَ فَقُمْتُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لِي ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ذَلِكَ الثَّانِيَةَ مَنْ قَتَلَ قَتِيلاً لَهُ عَلَيْهِ بَيِّنَةٌ فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ قَالَ فَقُمْتُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لِي ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ذَلِكَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقُمْتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا لَكَ يَا أَبَا قَتَادَةَ قَالَ فَاقْتَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْقِصَّةَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ صَدَقَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَلَبُ ذَلِكَ الْقَتِيلِ عِنْدِي فَأَرْضِهِ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ لاَهَا اللَّهِ إِذًا يَعْمِدُ إِلَى أَسَدٍ مِنْ أُسْدِ اللَّهِ يُقَاتِلُ عَنِ اللَّهِ وَعَنْ رَسُولِهِ فَيُعْطِيكَ سَلَبَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَدَقَ فَأَعْطِهِ إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ فَأَعْطَانِيهِ فَبِعْتُ الدِّرْعَ فَابْتَعْتُ بِهِ مَخْرَفًا فِي بَنِي سَلِمَةَ فَإِنَّهُ لأَوَّلُ مَالٍ تَأَثَّلْتُهُ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ

I was in the Sikkat al-Mirbad. A bier passed and a large number of people were accompanying it. They said: Bier of Abdullah ibn Umayr. So I followed it. Suddenly I saw a man, who had a thin garment on riding his small mule. He had a piece of cloth on his head to protect himself from the sun. I asked: Who is this important man? People said: This is Anas ibn Malik. When the bier was placed, Anas stood and led the funeral prayer over him while I was just behind him, and there was no obstruction between me and him. He stood near his head, and uttered four takbirs (Allah is Most Great). He neither lengthened the prayer nor hurried it. He then went to sit down. They said: AbuHamzah, (here is the bier of) an Ansari woman. They brought her near him and there was a green cupola-shaped structure over her bier. He stood opposite her hips and led the funeral prayer over her as he had led it over the man. He then sat down. Al-Ala' ibn Ziyad asked: AbuHamzah, did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say the funeral prayer over the dead as you have done, uttering four takbirs (Allah is Most Great) over her, and standing opposite the head of a man and the hips of a woman? He replied: Yes. He asked: AbuHamzah, did you fight with the Messenger of Allah? He replied: Yes. I fought with him in the battle of Hunayn. The polytheists came out and invaded us so severely that we saw our horses behind our backs. Among the people (i.e. the unbelievers) there was a man who was attacking us, and striking and wounding us (with his sword). Allah then defeated them. They were then brought and began to take the oath of allegiance to him for Islam. A man from among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ said: I make a vow to myself that if Allah brings the man who was striking us (with his sword) that day, I shall behead him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept silent and the man was brought (as a captive). When he saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: Messenger of Allah, I have repented to Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stopped (for a while) receiving his oath of allegiance, so that the other man might fulfil his vow. But the man began to wait for the order of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for his murder. He was afraid of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to kill him. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw that he did not do anything, he received his oath of allegiance. The man said: Messenger of Allah, what about my vow? He said: I stopped (receiving his oath of allegiance) today so that you might fulfil your vow. He said: Messenger of Allah, why did you not give any signal to me? The Prophet ﷺ said: It is not worthy of a Prophet to give a signal. AbuGhalib said: I asked (the people) about Anas standing opposite the hips of a woman. They told me that this practice was due to the fact that (in the days of the Prophet) there were no cupola-shaped structures over the biers of women. So the imam used to stand opposite the hips of a woman to hide her from the people. Abu Dawud said: The saying of the Prophet ﷺ "I have been commanded to fight against the people until they say: There is no god bu Allah" abrogated this tradition of fulfilling the vow by his remark: "I have repented".

"O Messenger of Allah, this man killed my brother." The Messenger of Allah said to him: "Did you kill him?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah even if he did not confess I would have brought proof against him." He said: "Yes, I killed him." He said: "How did you kill him?" He said: "He and I were chopping firewood from a tree and he insulted me, so I got angry and struck him with the ax on the forehead." The Messenger of Allah said: "Do you have any wealth with which you can pay the Diyah to save yourself?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah, I do not have anything but my ax and my clothes." The Messenger of Allah said to him: "Do you think your people will pay to save you?" He said: "I am too insignificant to them for that." He threw the string to the man and said: "Here, thank him." When he turned to go, the Messenger of Allah said: "If he kills him, he will be like him. "They caught up with the man, and said: "Woe to you! The Messenger of Allah said: 'If he kills him, he will be like him. "So he went back to the Messenger of Allah and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have been told that you said: 'if he kills him, he will be like him. 'But I only took him because you told me to. He said: 'Don't you want him to carry your sin and the sin of your companion (the victim)?' He said: 'Yes, if that is the case.' He said: 'And that is how it is."'

أَنَّهُ كَانَ قَاعِدًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ يَقُودُ آخَرَ بِنِسْعَةٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَتَلَ هَذَا أَخِي فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَقَتَلْتَهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَمْ يَعْتَرِفْ أَقَمْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْبَيِّنَةَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَتَلْتُهُ قَالَ كَيْفَ قَتَلْتَهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ نَحْتَطِبُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ فَسَبَّنِي فَأَغْضَبَنِي فَضَرَبْتُ بِالْفَأْسِ عَلَى قَرْنِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ مَالٍ تُؤَدِّيهِ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَالِي إِلاَّ فَأْسِي وَكِسَائِي فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتُرَى قَوْمَكَ يَشْتَرُونَكَ قَالَ أَنَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى قَوْمِي مِنْ ذَاكَ فَرَمَى بِالنِّسْعَةِ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ فَقَالَ دُونَكَ صَاحِبَكَ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنْ قَتَلَهُ فَهُوَ مِثْلُهُ فَأَدْرَكُوا الرَّجُلَ فَقَالُوا وَيْلَكَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنْ قَتَلَهُ فَهُوَ مِثْلُهُ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حُدِّثْتُ أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ إِنْ قَتَلَهُ فَهُوَ مِثْلُهُ وَهَلْ أَخَذْتُهُ إِلاَّ بِأَمْرِكَ فَقَالَ مَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ يَبُوءَ بِإِثْمِكَ وَإِثْمِ صَاحِبِكَ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ فَإِنْ ذَاكَ قَالَ ذَلِكَ كَذَلِكَ

[AI] "I went on a journey with the Prophet ﷺ, and he used to not relieve himself until he disappeared, so he couldn't be seen. We descended into an area without trees or landmarks. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'O Jabir, make water in your waterskin and then set out with us.' So we set out until we couldn't see anything, and suddenly there were two trees with a four-arm gap between them. He said, 'O Jabir, go to that tree and say, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commands you to give me shade for my companions and me.'' So I did, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat behind us. Then we returned to our place, and we rode with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was between us, as if birds were shading us. A woman came with a child and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, the devil takes my son every day three times.' He took the child and placed him between himself and the front of the camel saddle, and he said, 'Get away, O enemy of Allah! I am the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, get away, O enemy of Allah! I am the Messenger of Allah ﷺ,' three times. Then he handed the child back to her. When we finished our journey and passed by that place, the woman came to us with her child and two rams that were pulling them. She said, 'O Messenger of Allah, accept my gift. I swear by the One who sent you with the truth, he has not returned to that condition since you treated him.' He said, 'Take one and return the other.' Then we continued and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was between us, as if birds were shading us. Suddenly, a camel called out until it knelt down between two rocks. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat down and said, 'Who is the owner of this camel?' Some young Ansar men said, 'O Messenger of Allah, it belongs to us.' He asked, 'What is its condition?' They replied, 'We have been tending it for twenty years, and it has a cataract. We wanted to slaughter it and divide it amongst ourselves, but it escaped from us.' He said, 'Sell it to me.' They said, 'No, rather it is for you, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'No, treat it well until its time comes.' The Muslims said at that time, 'O Messenger of Allah, we should be the ones to prostrate to you, not animals.' He said, 'It is not appropriate for anything to prostrate to anything else, even if it were so, women would be prostrating to their husbands.'"

On the day of Badr, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at his companions and they were three hundred and some, then he looked at the mushrikeen and saw that they were one thousand or more. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ turned to face the qiblah, then he stretched forth his hands, wearing his upper and lower garment, and he said: “O Allah, where is Your promise to me? O Allah, accomplish for me what You have promised me! O Allah, if this small band of Muslims is destroyed, You will never be worshipped on earth.” He kept beseeching his Lord, calling out to Him, until his upper garment fell from his shoulders. Abu Bakr came to him, picked up his upper garment and put it on him. Then he embraced him from behind and said: O Prophet of Allah, this prayer of yours to your Lord will suffice, for He will accomplish for you what He has promised to you. Then Allah revealed the words: ʿ(Remember) when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying): ‘I will help you with a thousand of the angels each behind the other (following one another) in successionʿ [al Anfal 8:9). On that day when the armies met (in battle), Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, defeated the mushrikeen; seventy of their men were killed and seventy were taken captive. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ consulted Abu Bakr, 'Ali and 'Umar ؓ م (concerning the prisoners). Abu Bakr said: O Prophet of Allah, they are our cousins, kinsmen and brothers, I think that you should accept a ransom for them, which will strengthen us against the kuffar, and perhaps Allah will guide them to Islam and they will become a support to us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “What do you think, O son of al-Khattab?ʿ I said: No, by Allah. I do not think as Abu Bakr thinks. I think that you should hand. So and so ­ a relative of ʼUmar's- ­ over to me so that I may strike his neck. You should hand ‘Aqeel over to ‘Ali so that he may strike his neck, and you should hand over So and so to Hamzah (his brother) so that he may strike his neck, so that Allah will know that we have no mercy in our hearts towards the mushrikeen; these are their prominent figures and leaders. But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ inclined towards the view of Abu Bakr, and he did not incline towards what I said, and accepted ransoms from them. The next day, I came to the Prophet ﷺ and found him with Abu Bakr, and they were both weeping I said: O Messenger of Allah , tell me why you and your companion are weeping. If I find it is a cause for weeping, I will weep too, and is it is not, then I will make myself weep with you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿI am weeping because of what your companions suggested about accepting a ransom for the prisoners. I have been shown your punishment as close as this treeʿ ­ a tree that was close to the Prophet of Allah ﷺ Then Allah revealed the words:ʿIt is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allah desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allah is Almighty, All Wise. Were it not a previous ordainment from Allah, a severe torment would have touched you for what you took ʿ[al Anfal 8:67­-68] ­ i.e., referring to the ransom. Then booty was permitted to them, and when the day of Uhud came the following year, they were punished for what they had done of taking the ransom on the day of Badr. Seventy of them were killed and the Companions of the Prophet deserted him, his front tooth was broken and the helmet on his head was broken, and blood flowed down his face, and Allah revealed the words: “When a single disaster smites you, although you smote (your enemies) with one twice as great, you say: 'From where does this come to us?ʿSay (to them), ‘It is from yourselves (because of your evil deeds).' And Allah has power over all things” [Al 'Imran 3:165]

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told us that he said, "Verily, there is an hour on Friday that no Muslim coincides with while he is in prayer, asking Allah for good, except that He will give it to him." He said, "Abu Hurairah then gestured it with his hand, saying, 'When Abu Hurairah was about to pass away, I said, 'By Allah, if I come to Abu Sa'eed and ask him about this hour, to have knowledge of it, and then I come to him and find him straightening his ankles, I will ask him, 'O Abu Sa'eed, what are these ankles that I see you straightening?' He said, 'These are the ankles that Allah has made blessed for us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ loved them and would specify them, so we would straighten them and bring them to him.' He then saw spittle on the Qibla of the mosque, and there was dark dung in his hand, so he wiped it and said, 'When one of you is in prayer, let him not spit in front of him, for his Lord is in front of him. Let him spit to his left or beneath his foot. If he does not find a place for spittle, then it is in his garment or in his shoes.' He said, 'Then the sky rained from that night, and when the Prophet ﷺ went out to the last of the 'Isha prayers, there was a flash of lightning, so he saw Qatadah bin Nu'man and said, 'What is this, O Qatadah?' Qatadah replied, 'I knew, O Messenger of Allah, that there are few who attend the prayer, so I desired to attend it.' He said, 'So when you pray, remain steady until I come to you.' So when the Prophet ﷺ finished, he gave him the dung, saying, 'Take this, it will illuminate your path ten steps ahead of you and ten steps behind you. So when you enter your home and see a black spot in a corner of your house, strike it before it speaks, for it is a devil.' He said, 'So he did so. We love these ankles for that reason.' I said, 'O Abu Sa'eed, Abu Hurairah narrated to us about the hour on Friday. Do you have any knowledge of it?' He said, 'I asked the Prophet ﷺ about it and he said, 'I had knowledge of it, then I forgot it, just as I forgot the Night of Decree.' He said, 'Then I left from him and entered upon Abdullah bin Salam.'"

[AI] Some of the Ansar said on the day of Hunayn, when Allah bestowed upon His Messenger the spoils of war, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would give one hundred camels to every man of Quraysh. They said, "May Allah forgive the Messenger of Allah; he gives Quraysh and leaves us, and our swords are dripping with their blood." Anas said, "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed about their statements, he sent for the Ansar and gathered them in a dome made of adobe, and no one else was with them. When they had gathered, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said, "What is the news that has reached me about you?" The Ansar said: "As for those who are of our opinion, they did not say anything, but as for the newcomers among us, they said such and such in response to what they had said." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, I give to men who have newly entered into a pledge of disbelief, which I hope they will embrace or ask me for. Do you not want the people to go away with the wealth and you return to your own possessions with the Messenger of Allah?" They said, "Indeed, O Messenger of Allah, we are satisfied." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, you will find severe difficulty after me, so be patient until you meet Allah and His Messenger, for I will meet you at the Pond." Anas said, "So we were patient."

Do not narrate to Abu Talha about his son until I narrate it to him. Abu Talha came (home) ; she presented to him the supper. He took it and drank water. She then embellished herself which she did not do before. He (Abu Talha) had a sexual intercourse with her and when she saw that he was satisfied after sexual intercourse with her, she said: Abu Talha, if some people borrow something from another family and then (the members of the family) ask for its return, would they resist its return? He said: No. She said: I inform you about the death of your son. He was annoyed, and said: You did not inform me until I had a sexual intercourse with you and you later on gave me information about my son. He went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him what had happened. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: May Allah bless both of you in the night spent by you! He (the narrator) said: She became pregnant. Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) was in the course of a journey and she was along with him and when Messenger of Allah ﷺ came back to Medina from the journey he did not enter (his house) (during the night). When the people came near Medina, she felt the pangs of delivery. He (Abu Talha) remained with her and Messenger of Allah ﷺ proceeded on. Abu Talha said: O Lord, you know that I love to go along with Messenger of Allah when he goes out and enter along with him when he enters and I have been detained as Thou seest. Umm Sulaim said: Abu Talha, I do not feel (so much pain) as I was feeling formerly, so better proceed on. So we proceeded on and she felt the pangs of delivery as they reached (Medina) and a child was born and my mother said to me: Anas, none should suckle him until you go to Messenger of Allah ﷺ tomorrow morning. And when it was morning I carried him (the child) and went along with him to Messenger of Allah (may peace beupon him). He said: I saw that he had in his hand the instrument for the cauterisation of the camels. When he saw me. he said: This is, perhaps, what Umm Sulaim has given birth to. I said: Yes. He laid down that instrument on the ground. I brought that child to him and placed it in his lap and Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked Ajwa dates of Medina to be brought and softened them in his month. When these had become palatable he placed them in the mouth of that child. The child began to taste them. Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: See what love the Ansar have for dates. He then wiped his face and named him 'Abdullah. (Using translation from Muslim 2144d)

[AI] On the day of Hunayn, the Hawazin came with their women, children, camels, and sheep, and they formed rows, outnumbering the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When they encountered each other, the Muslims turned their backs, as Allah ﷻ had said. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O servants of Allah, I am the slave of Allah and His Messenger." Then he said, "O Ansar, I am the slave of Allah and His Messenger." Allah then defeated the polytheists without a sword being drawn or a spear being thrust. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ also said on that day, "Whoever kills a disbeliever shall have his spoils." Abu Talhah killed twenty men on that day and took their spoils. Abu Qatadah said, "O Messenger of Allah, I struck a man with my sword on his shoulder, and he had a coat of mail on him. I was unable to retrieve my sword. Hammmad said the same, and I hastened past him. So look who took it." A man stood up and said, "I took it, so give it to me and leave me a part of it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not asked for anything except that he gave it or withheld it. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent. Umar swore, "By Allah, Allah will not give it to anyone more deserving of it than you." The Prophet ﷺ laughed and said, "Umar has spoken the truth." Then Abu Talhah met Umm Sulaim and she had a dagger with her. Abu Talhah asked, "Why do you have this with you?" She said, "I intended that if any of the polytheists approached me, I would stab him in the stomach with it." Abu Talhah said, "Don't you hear what Umm Sulaim is saying?" She said, "O Messenger of Allah, kill those who will come after us from the victorious ones. They have been defeated by you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah has sufficed us and has been good to us, O Umm Sulaim."

أَنَّ هَوَازِنَ جَاءَتْ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ بِالنِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ وَالْإِبِلِ وَالْغَنَمِ فَجَعَلُوهَا صُفُوفًا يَكْثُرُونَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا الْتَقَوْا وَلَّى الْمُسْلِمُونَ مُدْبِرِينَ كَمَا قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا عِبَادَ اللهِ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ وَرَسُولُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ فَهَزَمَ اللهُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَمْ يُضْربْ بِسَيْفٍ وَلَمْ يُطْعَنْ بِرُمْحٍ قَالَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَنْ قَتَلَ كَافِرًا فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ قَالَ فَقَتَلَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَوْمَئِذٍ عِشْرِينَ رَجُلًا وَأَخَذَ أَسْلَابَهُمْ وَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي ضَرَبْتُ رَجُلًا عَلَى حَبْلِ الْعَاتِقِ وَعَلَيْهِ دِرْعٌ لَهُ وَأُجْهِضْتُ عَنْهُ وَقَدْ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ أَيْضًا فَأُعْجِلْتُ عَنْهُ فَانْظُرْ مَنْ أَخَذَهَا قَالَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَنَا أَخَذْتُهَا فَأَرْضِهِ مِنْهَا وَأَعْطِنِيهَا وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُسْأَلُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ أَوْ سَكَتَ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ وَاللهِ لَا يُفِيئُهَا اللهُ عَلَى أَسَدٍ مِنْ أُسْدِهِ وَيُعْطِيكَهَاقَالَ فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَقَالَ صَدَقَ عُمَرُ وَلَقِيَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ مَعَهَا خِنْجَرٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ مَا هَذَا مَعَكِ؟ قَالَتْ أَرَدْتُ إِنْ دَنَا مِنِّي بَعْضُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَنْ أَبْعَجَ بِهِ بَطْنَهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أَلَا تَسْمَعُ مَا تَقُولُ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ؟ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اقْتُلْ مَنْ بَعْدَنَا مِنَ الطُّلَقَاءِ انْهَزَمُوا بِكَ؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ كَفَانَا وَأَحْسَنَ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ invited me and said, "I have been informed that Khalid ibn Safwan ibn Nubayh al-Hadhali is gathering people to attack me while he is wearing a protective garment. Go to him and kill him." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, describe him to me so that I may recognize him." He said, "When you see him and notice goosebumps on your skin, proceed towards him and fear that there may be a plan between me and him to distract me from prayer. So I prayed while walking towards him and gestured with my head to indicate rukoo' and sujood. When I reached him, he asked, 'Who is this person?' I said, 'A man from the Arabs who heard about you and your gathering for this man, so he came to you.' He said, 'Indeed, I am that person.' He said, 'I walked with him for a while until I was able to bear the sword on him, and then I killed him. Then I left and abandoned his belongings on him. When I arrived before the Messenger of Allah, he saw me and said, 'Successful is the face.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have killed him.' He said, 'You have spoken the truth.' Then he stood up with me, the Messenger of Allah, and entered his house and gave me a staff and said, 'Hold onto this, O Abdullah ibn Unais.' So I went out to the people with it, and they said, 'What is this staff?' I said, 'The Messenger of Allah gave it to me and commanded me to hold onto it.' They said, 'Why don't you return to the Messenger of Allah and ask him about it?' He said, 'So I returned to the Messenger of Allah and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, why did you give me this staff?' He said, 'It is a sign between me and you on the Day of Judgment. Indeed, the fewest people on that day will be the ones carrying staffs.' Abdullah then tied it to his sword and kept it with him until he died. When he died, he was wrapped with it in his burial shroud and we were all buried together."

[AI] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, a river separates me and the mosque of my people, so I would like for you to come to me and pray in a place in my house that I have made a mosque." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "We will do that." So when the morning came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to Abu Bakr, and he followed him. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered, he said, "Where do you want?" I pointed to a spot in the house, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood and we lined up behind him, and he prayed with us two units of prayer. We then built a fence around it and the people of the village heard, so they started to come, and the house became crowded. A man from the people asked, "Where is Malik ibn Dukhshum?" A man replied, "That is one of the hypocrites." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not say that, he says, 'There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah' seeking the face of Allah with it." He said, "As for us, we see his face and hear his speech." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not say that, he says, 'There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah' seeking the face of Allah with it." A man from the people said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If a slave fulfills this on the Day of Resurrection, saying, 'There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah' seeking the face of Allah with it, Allah will make forbidden for him the Fire." Mahmud narrated this to some people, among them was Abu Ayyub. He said, "I do not think the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said this." So I said, "If I return and the blind man is still alive, I will ask him." So I went to him and he was blind, but he was the leader of his people. I asked him, and he narrated to me just as he had before, and he was a Badri companion.

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ السُّيُولَ تَحُولُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ مَسْجِدِ قَوْمِي فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي فَتُصَلِّيَ فِي مَكَانٍ فِي بَيْتِي أَتَّخِذُهُ مَسْجِدًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَنَفْعَلُ قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غَدَا عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَاسْتَتْبَعَهُ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ؟ فَأَشَرْتُ لَهُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَصُفِفْنَا خَلْفَهُ فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَحَبَسْنَاهُ عَلَى خَزِيرٍ صَنَعْنَاهُ فَسَمِعَ أَهْلُ الدَّارِ يَعْنِي أَهْلَ الْقَرْيَةِ فَجَعَلُوا يَثُوبُونَ فَامْتَلَأَ الْبَيْتُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ أَيْنَ مَالِكُ بْنُ الدُّخْشُمِ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ ذَاكَ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَقُولُهُ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ يَبْتَغِي بِهَا وَجْهَ اللهِ قَالَ أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنَرَى وَجْهَهُ وَحَدِيثَهُ إِلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَقُولُهُ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ يَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَئِنْ وَافَى عَبْدٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ يَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللهِ إِلَّا حُرِّمَ اللهُ عَلَى النَّارِ فَقَالَ مَحْمُودٌفَحَدَّثْتُ بِذَلِكَ قَوْمًا فِيهِمْ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ قَالَ مَا أَظُنُّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ هَذَا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَئِنْ رَجَعْتُ وَعِتْبَانُ حَيٌّ لَأَسْأَلَنَّهُ فَقَدِمْتُ وَهُوَ أَعْمَى وَهُوَ إِمَامُ قَوْمِهِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَحَدَّثَنِي كَمَا حَدَّثَنِي أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَكَانَ عِتْبَانُ بَدْرِيًّا

"On the day of Khaibar, my brother fought fiercely alongside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then his sword recoiled upon him and killed him. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, complaining about that, said: 'A man has died by his own weapon.'" Salamah said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from Khaibar and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, do you permit me to recite some lines of Rajaz verse to you?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave him permission but 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "Think what you are saying." "I said: 'By Allah, if Allah had not guided us we would not have been guided We would not have given in charity nor prayed' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'You have spoken the truth.' (I continued:) 'Send down tranquility upon us, And make us steadfast when we meet the enemy. For the idolators have transgressed against us.' When I completed my Rajaz verse, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Who said that?' I said: 'My brother.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'May Allah have mercy on him.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, some people are afraid to offer the (funeral) prayer for him, and they are saying that he is a man who died by his own weapon.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'He died striving as a Mujahid.'" Ibn Shihab said: "Then I asked a son of Salamah bin Al-Akwa', and he narrated a similar report to me from his father, except that he said: 'When I said: Some people are afraid to offer the (funeral) prayer for him, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: They lied. He died striving as Mujahid, and he will have a twofold reward, and he gestured with two of his fingers.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3150)

[AI] I have seen three things from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that no one before me had seen and no one after me will see. I went with him on a journey until when we were on a certain path, we passed by a woman who had a child with her. She said, "O Messenger of Allah, this child has been afflicted with a harm, and we have been afflicted with harm from him. He seizes us multiple times a day." He said, "Give him to me." So she handed him to him, and he placed him between himself and the saddle of the camel. Then he blew in his mouth three times and said, "In the name of Allah, I am the servant of Allah, get out, O enemy of Allah." Then he returned him to her and said, "We will pass by this place on the return journey, so inform us what the child is like." She said, "We went and returned and found him at that place with three sheep-like animals." He asked, "What did your child do?" She said, "By the One who sent you with the truth, we did not sense any change in him until now." He said, "Gather these sheep together." He then said, "Go to them and tell them that the Messenger of Allah orders both of you to return to your respective places." He said, "I was sitting with him on a certain day when a camel came, making noise and hitting its legs in front of him. Then his eyes shed tears and he said, 'Look at whose camel this is. It has some importance.'" So I went to search for its owner and found it belonged to a man from the Ansar. I called him and he asked, "What is the matter with your camel?" I asked, "What is the matter with it?" He said, "I don’t know, by Allah. We have worked on it and exhausted it to the point that it can no longer be watered. We decided just yesterday to slaughter it and divide its meat among ourselves." He said, "Don’t do that. Give it to me." The man said, "No, it is for you, O Messenger of Allah." So he marked it with the seal of charity and then sent it away.

لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثًا مَا رَآهَا أَحَدٌ قَبْلِي وَلَا يَرَاهَا أَحَدٌ بَعْدِي لَقَدْ خَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ فِي سَفَرٍ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ مَرَرْنَا بِامْرَأَةٍ جَالِسَةٍ مَعَهَا صَبِيٌّ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا صَبِيٌّ أَصَابَهُ بَلَاءٌ وَأَصَابَنَا مِنْهُ بَلَاءٌ يُؤْخَذُ فِي الْيَوْمِ مَا أَدْرِي كَمْ مَرَّةً قَالَ نَاوِلِينِيهِ فَرَفَعَتْهُ إِلَيْهِ فَجَعَلتْهُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ وَاسِطَةِ الرَّحْلِ ثُمَّ فَغَرَ فَاهُ فَنَفَثَ فِيهِ ثَلَاثًا وَقَالَ بِسْمِ اللهِ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ اخْسَأْ عَدُوَّ اللهِ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَهَا إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ الْقَيْنَا فِي الرَّجْعَةِ فِي هَذَا الْمَكَانِ فَأَخْبِرِينَا مَا فَعَلَ قَالَ فَذَهَبْنَا وَرَجَعْنَا فَوَجَدْنَاهَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ مَعَهَا شِيَاهٌ ثَلَاثٌ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَ صَبِيُّكِ؟ فَقَالَتْ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا حَسَسْنَا مِنْهُ شَيْئًا حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ فَاجْتَرِرْ هَذِهِ الْغَنَمَقَالَ انْزِلْ فَخُذْ مِنْهَا وَاحِدَةً وَرُدَّ الْبَقِيَّةَ قَالَ وَخَرَجْنَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِلَى الْجَبَّانَةِ حَتَّى إِذَا بَرَزْنَا قَالَ انْظُرْ وَيْحَكَ هَلْ تَرَى مِنْ شَيْءٍ يُوَارِينِي؟ قُلْتُ مَا أَرَى شَيْئًا يُوَارِيكَ إِلَّا شَجَرَةً مَا أُرَاهَا تُوَارِيكَ قَالَ فَمَا قُرْبُهَا ؟ قُلْتُ شَجَرَةٌ مِثْلُهَا أَوْ قَرِيبٌ مِنْهَا قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ إِلَيْهِمَا فَقُلْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُكُمَا أَنْ تَجْتَمِعَا بِإِذْنِ اللهِ قَالَ فَاجْتَمَعَتَا فَبَرَزَ لِحَاجَتِهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ إِلَيْهِمَا فَقُلْ لَهُمَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُكُمَا أَنْ تَرْجِعَ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمَا إِلَى مَكَانِهَا قَالَ وَكُنْتُ مَعَهُ جَالِسًا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِذْ جَاءَ جَمَلٌ يُخَبِّبُ حَتَّى ضَرَبَ بِجِرَانِهِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ ذَرَفَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ انْظُرْ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْجَمَلُ إِنَّ لَهُ لَشَأْنًا قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ أَلْتَمِسُ صَاحِبَهُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَدَعَوْتُهُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُ جَمَلِكَ هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ وَمَا شَأْنُهُ؟ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي وَاللهِ مَا شَأْنُهُ عَمِلْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَنَضَحْنَا عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى عَجَزَ عَنِ السِّقَايَةِ فَأْتَمَرْنَا الْبَارِحَةَ أَنْ نَنْحَرَهُ وَنُقَسِّمَ لَحْمَهُ قَالَ فَلَا تَفْعَلْ هَبْهُ لِي أَوْ بِعْنِيهِ فَقَالَ بَلْ هُوَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَوَسَمَهُ بِسِمَةِالصَّدَقَةِ ثُمَّ بَعَثَ بِهِ

[AI] Narrated by Nafi' al-Aqra'i, from Abu Qatada who said: "I saw two men fighting, one being a Muslim and the other being a polytheist. When one of the polytheists tried to assist his companion against the Muslim, I approached him and struck his hand, severing it. He then embraced me with his other hand, and I swear by Allah, I did not release him until I smelled the scent of death. If it were not for the blood loss, he would have killed me. He fell to the ground, and I struck him, killing him. The fight was too much for me to handle. Then a man from Makkah came by and looted him. When we finished and the war came to an end, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever kills a person, his belongings belong to him.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I killed a man who had belongings, but the fight became too much for me, and I do not know who looted him.' A man from Makkah said, 'O Messenger of Allah, he is telling the truth. I looted him, so return his belongings to him.' Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, 'He turned towards one of the lions of Allah, fighting for the sake of Allah and seeking His pleasure. He rightfully claimed the spoils of the slain enemy, so return to him what was taken from the enemy of his slain companion.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Verily, he has spoken the truth. Return to him the spoils of the slain enemy.' Abu Qatada said, 'So I took it from him and sold it, and with its price I bought a farm in Madinah. Indeed, it was the first wealth that I had ever accumulated.' "

I was praying with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. A man in the company sneezed, and I said: May Allah have mercy on you! The people gave me disapproving looks, so I said: Woe is to me! What do you mean by looking at me? They began to strike their hand on their thighs; then I realised that they were urging me to be silent. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer – for whom I would give my father and mother as ransom-he did not beat, scold or revile me, but said: No talk to people in lawful in this prayer, for it consists only in glorifying Allah, declaring His greatness, and reciting the Qur'an or words to that effect said by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said: Messenger of Allah, we were only recently pagans, but Allah has brought Islam to us, and among us there are men who have recourse to soothsayers (kahins). He replied: Do not have recourse to them. I said: Among us are there are men who take omens. He replied: That is something which they find, but let it not turn them away (from what they intended to do). I said: among us there are men who draw lines. He replied: There was a prophet who drew lines; so if the line of anyone tallies with this line, that might come true. I said: A slave-girl of mine used to tend goats before (the mountain) Uhud and al-Jawaniyyah. Once when I reached her (suddenly) I found that a wolf had taken away a goat of them. I am a human being; I feel grieved as others do. But I gave her a good knocking. This was unbearable for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I asked: Should I set her free ? He replied: Bring her to me. So I brought her to him. He asked (her): Where is Allah ? She said: In the heaven. He said: Who am I ? She replied: You are the Messenger of Allah. He said: Set her free, for she is believer.

[AI] I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Indeed, I have lost my sight, and the rivers block my way to my mosque. I wish you had come and prayed in my house, a place I could make a mosque." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I will do so, God willing." He then passed by Abu Bakr and followed him until they reached my house. He asked for permission to enter, and I granted it. He asked me, while I was standing, where I wanted to pray. I pointed to the spot where I desired, and he said, "Then I will confine you in a room that we have prepared for you." The people of the neighborhood, meaning the people of Dar, heard and rushed to him until the house was filled. A man asked, "Where is Malik ibn Dukhshun?" Perhaps he said Malik ibn Dukhayshin. Another man said, "That is a hypocrite who does not love Allah or His Messenger." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not say that. He says 'There is no deity but Allah' to seek the face of Allah." The man said, "But we see his face and hear his speech for the hypocrites." The Prophet ﷺ said again, "Do not say that. He says 'There is no deity but Allah' to seek the face of Allah." The man said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "A servant who says 'There is no deity but Allah' to seek the face of Allah will not be in Hell." Mahmoud said, "So I narrated this Hadith to a group of them, including Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari. He said, 'I do not think the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said what you said.' I said, 'If I return to Atban, I will ask him.' So I went back to him and found that he was an elderly man who had lost his sight, but he was the leader of his people. I sat next to him and asked him about this Hadith, and he narrated it to me as he did the first time. Ma'mar said, 'And then the obligations and matters were revealed, and we believe that the matter has reached its conclusion. Whoever can prevent himself from being deceived, let him not be deceived."

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي قَدْ أَنْكَرْتُ بَصَرِي وَالسُّيُولُ تَحُولُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ مَسْجِدِي فَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّكَ جِئْتَ فَصَلَّيْتَ فِي بَيْتِي مَكَانًا أَتَّخِذُهُ مَسْجِدًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَفْعَلُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ قَالَ فَمَرَّ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَاسْتَتْبَعَهُ فَانْطَلَقَ مَعَهُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ؟ فَأَشَرْتُ لَهُ حَيْثُ أُرِيدُ قَالَ ثُمَّ حَبَسْتُهُ عَلَى خَزِيرٍ صَنَعْنَاهُ لَهُ فَسَمِعَ أَهْلُ الْوَادِي يَعْنِي أَهْلَ الدَّارِ فَثَابُوا إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى امْتَلَأَ الْبَيْتُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَيْنَ مَالِكُ بْنُ الدُّخْشُنِ؟ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ مَالِكُ بْنُ الدُّخَيْشِنِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ ذَاكَ رَجُلٌ مُنَافِقٌ لَا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَلَا رَسُولَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَلَا تَقُولُ هُوَ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ يَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللهِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنَرَى وَجْهَهُ وَحَدِيثَهُ إِلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَيْضًا لَا تَقُولُ هُوَ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ يَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللهِ قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَلَنْ يُوَافِيَ عَبْدٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّااللهُ يَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللهِ إِلَّا حُرِّمَ عَلَى النَّارِ قَالَ مَحْمُودٌ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ نَفَرًا فِيهِمْ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ مَا أَظُنُّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا قُلْتَ قَالَ فَآلَيْتُ إِنْ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى عِتْبَانَ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَوَجَدْتُهُ شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا قَدْ ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهُ وَهُوَ إِمَامُ قَوْمِهِ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَحَدَّثَنِيهِ كَمَا حَدَّثَنِيهِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ فَكَانَ الزُّهْرِيُّ إِذَا حَدَّثَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ ثُمَّ نَزَلَتْ فَرَائِضُ وَأُمُورٌ نَرَى أَنَّ الْأَمْرَ انْتَهَى إِلَيْهَا فَمَنْ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ لَا يَغْتَرَّ فَلَا يَغْتَرَّ

[AI] He married a woman and came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seeking his assistance in paying her dowry. He asked, "How much did you give as dowry?" He replied, "I gave two hundred dirhams." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you were to collect dirhams from your valley, you would not increase what I have nor would I give you anymore." He said, "So I stayed for a while, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called me and sent me on an expedition to Najd. He said, 'Go on this expedition, perhaps you will achieve something.' So I set off with the army until we reached a place called Mumsin. When the evening came, our leader sent two men and said, 'When I make takbeer and start carrying, make takbeer and start carrying as well.' And he said, 'When we send two men, do not separate and I will ask one of you about the news of his companion, but I do not find him with him, and do not focus too much on searching.' So when we wanted to carry, I heard a man from Mumsin shout, 'O Khadrah!' So I became hopeful that we were going to get something from them. When we stood for takbeer, our leader carried and we carried as well. Then a man passed by me holding a sword, so I followed him. My companion said to me, 'Our leader has entrusted us not to focus too much on searching, so go back.' But I did not see anything but to follow him. He said, 'By Allah, you will go back or I will go back to him and tell him that you refused.' So I said, 'By Allah, I will follow him.' So I followed him until I came close to him and shot an arrow at him and it struck him on the chest and he fell. He said, 'Come, O Muslim, to Paradise!' When he saw that I did not approach him, I shot another arrow at him and it hit him, so he drew his sword and attacked me, but I took the sword from him and killed him. I cut off his head and we collected many spoils. Then we returned. When I woke up, I saw my camel tied to it another camel, on which there was a beautiful young woman. She would look back and say takbeer, so I asked her, 'Where are you looking?' She said, 'To a man, and by Allah, if he is alive, he will join you.' I said, 'And I thought it was my companion whom I killed. By Allah, I killed him, and this is his sword, hanging from the saddle of the camel I am on.' He said, 'And the scabbard of the sword has nothing hanging from the saddle of her camel.' So when I told her this, she said, 'Place this scabbard beneath it and smell it, if you are telling the truth.' He said, 'So I took it and smelled it, and then she cried.' He said, 'So we went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he gave me from those blessings that we had brought.'

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ bought from a Bedouin man a large quantity of dates called Al-Dhakhira and Al-Ajwah. He took them back to his house and asked his servant to look for them, but they could not find them. The Bedouin man said, "Perhaps they were stolen." People started suspecting and saying, "May Allah destroy the one who betrayed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Leave him alone, because the one who is truthful has a response." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to the Bedouin man again and said, "O Abdullah, we bought from you a large quantity of dates and we thought we had what we named for you, but we couldn't find it." The Bedouin man said, "Perhaps they were stolen." Again, people started suspecting and saying, "May Allah destroy the one who betrayed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ again said, "Leave him alone, because the one who is truthful has a response." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ repeated this two or three times. When the Bedouin man realized that he didn't understand what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was saying, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to one of his companions, "Go to Khawilah bint Hakim ibn Umayyah and tell her that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is asking if she has some of the dates called Al-Dhakhira, so lend them to us and we will return them to you, if Allah wills." The man went to Khawilah and then returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "She said yes, O Messenger of Allah, and she asked that someone come to collect them." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the man, "Take them and fulfill the right of the owner." The man took the dates and fulfilled the right of the owner. The Bedouin man passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was sitting with his companions and said, "May Allah reward you with goodness, for you have fulfilled and returned what was entrusted to you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Those are the best servants of Allah on the Day of Resurrection, the ones who fulfill their trusts and do good."

[AI] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: When any one of you is afflicted with a calamity, let him say: "Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. O Allah, I seek reward with You for my calamity, and replace it with something better." When Abu Salamah was in his death throes, he said: "O Allah, compensate me for my loss with something better." When he died, I said: "Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. O Allah, I seek reward with You for my calamity, and replace it with something better." She added: "I wanted to say: Replace it for me with something better than him, but I could not say that. When her waiting period was over, Abu Bakr proposed marriage to her, then 'Umar proposed marriage to her, but the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to her: "Do not be hasty, O 'Umar. I will not withhold her from you, but I have not conferred a blessing upon her yet. Her children will be given to you." She said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have no need for children; rather I want to uphold the ties of kinship." 'Umar said: "I knitted together two garments for her, and stuffed them with a kind of grass, then the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came and took her, and put her in her cradle in his room, and the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , was a modest and honorable man, and he would shy away from her, but he used to do that repeatedly." Then 'Ammar ibn Yasir, who was her foster brother through her mother, came and entered upon her, and he moved her cradle from his room and said: "Take away this tainted woman who was the cause of the harm caused to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came in and put his hand on his forehead, and said: "Where is Zainab? What has Zainab done?" She said: "Ammar came and took her away." He said: "Then he married her to his own cousin and kin."

[AI] "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Makkah, riding on his she-camel, while I was with my father. In the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was a precious gem, similar to the brightness of a written book. I heard the Bedouins and the people saying 'At-Tabtabiyyah'. My father approached him and held his foot. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ read the Qur'an for him, and my father accepted Islam. I witnessed the army of 'Uthran and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recognized that army. Tariq bin Al-Muraqqiq said, 'Who will gift me a spear for the sake of Allah?' I asked, 'What will be its reward?' He replied, 'I will marry him off to the first girl that becomes mine.' So, I gave him my spear and left. Later, he had a daughter, and when she reached the age of marriage, I went to him and said, 'Prepare my wife for me.' He said, 'No, by Allah, I will not prepare her until she receives a dowry other than that.' So, I swore that I would not do so. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What about her?' I replied, 'She has seen the Qatir.' He said, 'Leave her, there is no goodness for you in her.' I felt scared by this and looked at him, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'You will not be sinful, nor will your friend.' My father said to him at that moment, 'I have taken a vow to slaughter a certain number of sheep.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I only know that number.' My father asked, 'How many?' He replied, 'Fifty sheep, on top of the mountain.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, 'Does it have any connection with these idols?' He said, 'No.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ directed him, 'Fulfill your vow to Allah.' So, my father collected the sheep and started to slaughter them. One sheep escaped from him, so he tried to catch it while saying, 'O Allah, fulfill my vow for me.' Then he caught it and slaughtered it."

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ وَهُوَ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ وَأَنَا مَعَ أَبِي وَبِيَدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ دِرَّةٌ كَدِرَّةِ الْكُتَّابِ فَسَمِعْتُ الْأَعْرَابَ وَالنَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ الطَّبْطَبِيَّةَ فَدَنَا مِنْهُ أَبِي فَأَخَذَ بِقَدَمِهِ فَأَقَرَّ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ فَمَا نَسِيتُ فِيمَا نَسِيتُ طُولَ أُصْبُعِ قَدَمِهِ السَّبَّابَةِ عَلَى سَائِرِ أَصَابِعِهِ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي إِنِّي شَهِدْتُ جَيْشَ عِثْرَانَ قَالَتْ فَعَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشَ فَقَالَ طَارِقُ بْنُ الْمُرَقَّعِ مَنْ يُعْطِينِي رُمْحًا بِثَوَابِهِ؟ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ وَمَا ثَوَابُهُ؟ قَالَ أُزَوِّجُهُ أَوَّلَ بِنْتٍ تَكُونُ لِي قَالَ فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ رُمْحِي ثُمَّ تَرَكْتُهُ حَتَّى وُلِدَتْ لَهُ ابْنَةٌ وَبَلَغَتْ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جَهِّزْ لِي أَهْلِي فَقَالَ لَا وَاللهِ لَا أُجَهِّزُهَا حَتَّى تُحْدِثَ صَدَاقًا غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَحَلَفْتُ أَنْ لَا أَفْعَلَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَبِقَدْرِ أَيِّ النِّسَاءِ هِيَ؟ قُلْتُ قَدْ رَأَتِ الْقَتِيرَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ دَعْهَا عَنْكَ لَا خَيْرَ لَكَ فِيهَا قَالَ فَرَاعَنِي ذَلِكَ وَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَأْثَمُ وَلَا يَأْثَمُ صَاحِبُكَ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَقَامِ إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ أَنْ أَذْبَحَ عَدَدًا مِنَ الْغَنَمِ قَالَ لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا قَالَ خَمْسِينَ شَاةً عَلَى رَأْسِ بُوَانَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَلْ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَوْثَانِ شَيْءٌ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَأَوْفِ لِلَّهِ بِمَا نَذَرْتَ لَهُ قَالَتْ فَجَمَعَهَا أَبِي فَجَعَلَ يَذْبَحُهَا وَانْفَلَتَتْ مِنْهُ شَاةٌ فَطَلَبَهَا وَهُوَ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ أَوْفِ عَنِّي بِنَذْرِي حَتَّى أَخَذَهَا فَذَبَحَهَا

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Amr ibn Kathir ibn Aflah from Abu Muhammad, the mawla of Abu Qatada that Abu Qatada ibn Ribi said, "We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the year of Hunayn. When the armies met, the Muslims were put in disarray. I saw a man from the idol worshippers who had got the better of one of the Muslims, so I circled round and came up behind him, and struck him with a sword on his shoulder-blade. He turned to me and grabbed me so hard that I felt the smell of death in it. Then death overcame him, and he let go of me." He continued, "I met Umar ibn al-Khattab and said to him, 'What's going on with the people?' He replied, 'The Command of Allah.' Then the people took hold of the battle and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever has killed one of the dead and can prove it, can strip him of his personal effects.' I stood up and said, 'Who will testify for me?' and then I sat down. The Messenger of Allah repeated, 'Whoever has killed one of the dead and can prove it, can strip him of his personal effects.' I stood up and said, 'Who will testify for me?' then I sat down. Then he repeated his statement a third time, so I stood up, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What's the matter with you, Abu Qatada?' So I related my story to him. A man said, 'He has spoken the truth, Messenger of Allah. I have the effects of that slain person with me, so give him compensation for it, Messenger of Allah.' Abu Bakr said, 'No, by Allah! He did not intend that one of the lions of Allah should fight for Allah and His Messenger and then give you his spoils.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'He has spoken the truth, hand it over to him.' He gave it to me, and I sold the breast-plate and I bought a garden in the area of the Banu Salima with the money. It was my first property, and I acquired it in Islam."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَامَ حُنَيْنٍ فَلَمَّا الْتَقَيْنَا كَانَتْ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ جَوْلَةٌ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَدْ عَلاَ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ فَاسْتَدَرْتُ لَهُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُهُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ عَلَى حَبْلِ عَاتِقِهِ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَىَّ فَضَمَّنِي ضَمَّةً وَجَدْتُ مِنْهَا رِيحَ الْمَوْتِ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَهُ الْمَوْتُ فَأَرْسَلَنِي قَالَ فَلَقِيتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَقُلْتُ مَا بَالُ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّاسَ رَجَعُوا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَتَلَ قَتِيلاً لَهُ عَلَيْهِ بَيِّنَةٌ فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ قَالَ فَقُمْتُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لِي ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ قَتَلَ قَتِيلاً لَهُ عَلَيْهِ بَيِّنَةٌ فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ قَالَ فَقُمْتُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لِي ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ذَلِكَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقُمْتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا لَكَ يَا أَبَا قَتَادَةَ قَالَ فَاقْتَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْقِصَّةَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ صَدَقَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَلَبُ ذَلِكَ الْقَتِيلِ عِنْدِي فَأَرْضِهِ عَنْهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لاَ هَاءَ اللَّهِ إِذًا لاَ يَعْمِدُ إِلَى أَسَدٍ مِنْ أُسْدِ اللَّهِ يُقَاتِلُ عَنِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَيُعْطِيكَ سَلَبَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَدَقَ فَأَعْطِهِ إِيَّاهُ فَأَعْطَانِيهِ فَبِعْتُ الدِّرْعَ فَاشْتَرَيْتُ بِهِ مَخْرَفًا فِي بَنِي سَلِمَةَ فَإِنَّهُ لأَوَّلُ مَالٍ تَأَثَّلْتُهُ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ

Yahya related to me from Malik that Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha heard Anas ibn Malik say that Abu Talha had said to Umm Sulaym, "I have just been listening to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his voice was very weak. I recognised hunger in it, so, do you have anything?" She replied, "Yes," and brought out some barley loaves. She took her long head scarf and wrapped up the bread with part of it and put it into my (Anas's) hand and gave me part of it to wear. Then she sent me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." Anas continued, "I took it, and I found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sitting in the mosque with some people. I watched them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Did Abu Talha send you?' I replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'For food?' I said, 'Yes.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to those with him, 'Let us go.' He set off and I went among them until I came to Abu Talha and told him. Abu Talha said, 'Umm Sulaym! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has brought people and we have no food. What shall we give them to eat?' She said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' " Anas continued, "Abu Talha went out and met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ approached with Abu Talha until they entered. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Come now, Umm Sulaym, what have you got?' She brought out bread. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered it to be broken into pieces, and Umm Sulaym squeezed out onto it a container of clarified butter which she had seasoned. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said whatever Allah wished him to say, and said, 'Will you give permission for ten of them to come in?' He gave them permission, and they ate until they were full and then left. He said, 'Give permission to ten more.' He gave them permission, and they ate until they were full and left. Then he said, 'Give permission to ten more.' He gave them permission and they ate until they were full and left. Then he said, 'Give permission to ten more.' He gave permission and they ate until they were full and left. There were seventy or eighty men."

[AI] On the day of Hunayn, the spoils included women, children, camels, and sheep. They were lined up in rows to be distributed abundantly to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Muslims and the polytheists met and the Muslims turned their backs in retreat, as Allah the Almighty said. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I am the slave of Allah and His Messenger," and he said, "O Ansar, I am the slave of Allah and His Messenger." Then Allah vanquished the polytheists without thrusting a spear or striking with a sword. On that day, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever kills a disbeliever, their belongings are theirs." Abu Qatadah killed twenty men on that day and took their spoils. Abu Qatadah said, "O Messenger of Allah, I hit a man who was wearing a chain mail and had a shield, and I hurried to take his spoils. Look at who he is, O Messenger of Allah." A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, I took it, so it belongs to me. Give it to me." The Prophet ﷺ remained silent, as he would either grant a request or remain silent. 'Umar said, "No, by Allah, Allah will not give a lion from His lions to someone else." Then the Prophet ﷺ smiled.

أَنَّ هَوَازِنَ جَاءَتْ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ بِالنِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ وَالْإِبِلِ وَالْغَنَمِ فَصَفُّوهُمْ صُفُوفًا لِيُكَثِّرُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَالْتَقَى الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ فَوَلَّى الْمُسْلِمُونَ مُدْبِرِينَ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ» وَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ» فَهَزَمَ اللَّهُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَمْ يَطْعَنْ بِرُمْحٍ وَلَمْ يَضْرِبْ بِسَيْفٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ «مَنْ قَتَلَ كَافِرًا فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ» فَقَتَلَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ يَوْمَئِذٍ عِشْرِينَ رَجُلًا وَأَخَذَ أَسْلَابَهُمْ فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ضَرَبْتُ رَجُلًا عَلَى حَبْلِ الْعَاتِقِ وَعَلَيْهِ دِرْعٌ لَهُ فَأُعْجِلْتُ عَنْهُ أَنْ آخُذَ سَلَبَهُ فَانْظُرْ مَنْ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَا أَخَذْتُهَا فَأَرْضِهِ مِنْهَا فَأَعْطِنِيهَا فَسَكَتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَكَانَ لَا يُسْأَلُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ أَوْ سَكَتَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لَا وَاللَّهِ لَا يَفِيءُ اللَّهُ عَلَى أَسَدٍ مِنْ أُسْدِهِ وَيُعْطِيكَهَا فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ

[AI] It is said that a man called Jurayjara had some gold coins that belonged to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so the Prophet ﷺ asked him for them. Jurayjara said, "Oh Jew, I don't have anything to give you." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "If that's the case, then sit with me." So he sat with him. The Prophet ﷺ prayed the Duha (forenoon) prayer, Asr (afternoon) prayer, Maghrib (evening) prayer, Isha (night) prayer, Fajr (dawn) prayer, and the next day's Dhuhr (midday) prayer at that spot.

The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ threatened and warned Jurayjara, but the Prophet ﷺ was smart and asked them, "What are you doing to him?" They replied, "Oh Messenger of Allah, a Jew is holding you captive." The Prophet ﷺ said, "My Lord has forbidden me from betraying a covenant, regardless of who it is with." When the day ended, Jurayjara testified, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger." He also said, "Half of my wealth is for the sake of Allah. By Allah, I did what I did only to know about your description in the Torah, O Muhammad, son of Abdullah, born in Makkah, migrated to Taybah, and ruled in Sham. You are not ill-mannered, harsh, or rude in the markets, nor do you engage in lewd behavior or speak falsehood. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah. This wealth is now yours, so judge with it as Allah has shown you."

Note: The authenticity of this narration is disputed.

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out while having a companion. They went to a certain idol from the idols, so they slaughtered a sheep for it and placed it in the oven until it was cooked. When it was cooked, they took it out and placed it in their bags. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then proceeded, while walking slowly, during the hot days of Mecca until they reached the highest part of the valley. There, they met Zaid bin Amr bin Nufayl, who greeted one of them with the pre-Islamic greeting. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Why do I see your people abandoning you?" He replied, "By Allah, it is not that they have abandoned me, but rather, it is because I see them deviating from the right path." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I went out in search of this religion until I reached the tribes of Yathrib, and I found them worshipping Allah alone, but associating partners with Him. I said, 'What kind of religion is this that I am seeking?' Then, I traveled to the tribes of Ayla and found them worshipping Allah alone, but associating partners with Him. I said, 'What kind of religion is this that I am seeking?' A scholar from the scholars of Sham said to me, 'Indeed, you are asking about a religion that no one knows except a respected old man in the peninsula.' So, I traveled until I reached him and informed him of my purpose. He said to me, 'Indeed, all those who you have seen in misguidance, asking about a religion that is the religion of Allah and His angels. There has come out in your land a Prophet or a Prophet-like person calling to this religion. Return to him, believe in him, and follow him.' So, I returned, and I did not do anything good afterwards. I carried the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the camel he was riding, and we presented to him the cooked sheep that we had. He asked, 'What is this?' We replied, 'This is a sheep we slaughtered for the idol of such and such.' He said, 'Indeed, I do not eat anything that was slaughtered for other than Allah.' This idol was made of copper, called Asaf, and its handle was made of neem tree branches. The polytheists would anoint themselves with it when they circumambulated the Ka'bah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then circumambulated it, and I also did, touching it as I passed by. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do not touch it.' Zaid said, 'We completed the Tawaf, and I said to myself that I would touch it again to see what he says.' So, I touched it, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Did I not forbid you from doing so?' Zaid said, 'By the One who has honored him and revealed the Book to him, I have not touched an idol until Allah honored him with what He has honored him and revealed the Book to him.' Zaid bin Amr bin Nufayl died before the Prophet's message was revealed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'A nation will come on the Day of Judgment, but he will be alone.' This Hadith is Sahih according to the conditions of Muslim, but they did not include it in his collection. Whoever ponders over this Hadith will understand the virtue of Zaid and his early acceptance of Islam before the invitation to it.

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُرْدِفِي إِلَى نُصُبٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَابِ فَذَبَحْنَا لَهُ شَاةً وَوَضَعْنَاهَا فِي التَّنُّورِ حَتَّى إِذَا نَضِجَتِ اسْتَخْرَجْنَاهَا فَجَعَلْنَاهَا فِي سُفْرَتِنَا ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَسِيرُ وَهُوَ مُرْدِفِي فِي أَيَّامِ الْحَرِّ مِنْ أَيَّامِ مَكَّةَ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِأَعْلَى الْوَادِي لَقِيَ فِيهِ زَيْدَ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ فَحَيَّا أَحَدُهُمَا الْآخَرَ بِتَحِيَّةِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا لِي أَرَى قَوْمَكَ قَدْ شَنَفُوكَ؟» قَالَ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لِتَغَيُّرِ ثَائِرَةٍ كَانَتْ مِنِّي إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَكِنِّي أَرَاهُمْ عَلَى ضَلَالَةٍ قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ أَبْتَغِي هَذَا الدِّينَ حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ عَلَى أَحْبَارِ يَثْرِبَ فَوَجَدْتُهُمْ يَعْبُدُونَ اللَّهَ وَيُشْرِكُونَ بِهِ فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا بِالدِّينِ الَّذِي أَبْتَغِي فَخَرَجْتُ حَتَّى أَقْدَمَ عَلَى أَحْبَارِ أَيْلَةَ فَوَجَدْتُهُمْ يَعْبُدُونَ اللَّهَ وَيُشْرِكُونَ بِهِ فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا بِالدِّينِ الَّذِي أَبْتَغِي فَقَالَ لِي حَبْرٌ مِنْ أَحْبَارِ الشَّامِ إِنَّكَ تَسْأَلُ عَنْ دِينٍ مَا نَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ بِهِ إِلَّا شَيْخًا بِالْجَزِيرَةِ فَخَرَجْتُ حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ الَّذِي خَرَجْتُ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ رَأَيْتَهُ فِي ضَلَالَةٍ إِنَّكَ تَسْأَلُ عَنْ دِينٍ هُوَ دِينُ اللَّهِ وَدِينُ مَلَائِكَتِهِ وَقَدْ خَرَجَ فِي أَرْضِكَ نَبِيٌّ أَوْ هُوَ خَارِجٌ يَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ وَصَدِّقْهُ وَاتَّبِعْهُ وَآمِنَ بِمَا جَاءَ بِهِ فَرَجَعْتُ فَلَمْ أُحْسِنْ شَيْئًا بَعْدُ فَأَنَاخَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْبَعِيرَ الَّذِي كَانَ تَحْتَهُ ثُمَّ قَدَّمْنَا إِلَيْهِ السُّفْرَةَ الَّتِي كَانَ فِيهَا الشِّوَاءُ فَقَالَ مَا هَذِهِ؟ فَقُلْنَا «هَذِهِ شَاةٌ ذَبَحْنَاهَا لِنُصُبِ كَذَا وَكَذَا» فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَا آكُلَ مَا ذُبِحَ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ وَكَانَ صَنَمًا مِنْ نُحَاسٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِسَافُ وَنَائِلَةُ يَتَمَسَّحُ بِهِ الْمُشْرِكُونَ إِذَا طَافُوا فَطَافَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَطُفْتُ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا مَرَرْتُ مَسَحْتُ بِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَمَسَّهُ» قَالَ زَيْدٌ فَطُفْنَا فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي لَأَمَسَّنَّهُ حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ مَا يَقُولُ فَمَسَحْتُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَلَمْ تُنْهَ؟» قَالَ زَيْدٌ فَوَالَّذِي أَكْرَمَهُ وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابَ مَا اسْتَلَمْتُ صَنَمًا حَتَّى أَكْرَمَهُ اللَّهُ بِالَّذِي أَكْرَمَهُ وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابَ وَمَاتَ زَيْدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُبْعَثَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أُمَّةً وَحْدَهُ» صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ وَمَنْ تَأَمَّلَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَرَفَ فَضْلَ زَيْدِ وَتَقَدُّمَهُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ قَبْلَ الدَّعْوَةِ على شرط مسلم

[AI] Never has a day come upon me that was more difficult for me than the day when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me with some of his companions and ordered me regarding them. Among the people was 'Ammaar, and we encountered a group of people, among whom were Muslim families. 'Ammaar spoke to me about them, and some of the Muslims said, "Leave them alone." I said, "No, by Allah, I will not do so until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sees them and gives his opinion about them." This angered 'Ammaar, and when I reached the Prophet ﷺ , I sought permission to speak to him while 'Ammaar sought permission as well. Permission was granted to him, and 'Ammaar entered and said, "O Messenger of Allah, did you not see what Khalid did and what he did?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, if it was not for your gathering, Ibn Sumayyah would not have insulted me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said to me, "Did you not answer the man?" I said, "There was nothing preventing me from answering him except that it would have belittled him." This angered the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he said, "Whoever hates 'Ammaar, Allah hates him, and whoever insults 'Ammaar, Allah insults him, and whoever belittles 'Ammaar, Allah belittles him." I then left the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and did not stop seeking forgiveness for myself from 'Ammaar.

مَا أَتَى عَلَيَّ يَوْمٌ قَطُّ كَانَ أَعْظَمَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ شَأْنِ عَمَّارٍ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي أُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَأَمَّرَنِي عَلَيْهِمْ وَكَانَ فِي الْقَوْمِ عَمَّارٌ فَأَصَبْنَا قَوْمًا فِيهِمْ أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَكَلِّمْنِي فِيهِمْ عَمَّارٌ وَنَاسٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالُوا خَلِّ سَبِيلَهُمْ قُلْتُ لَا وَاللَّهِ لَا أَفْعَلُ حَتَّى يَرَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَيَرَى فِيهِمْ رَأْيَهُ فَغَضِبَ عَلَيَّ عَمَّارٌ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَهُوَ يَسْتَخْبِرُنِي وَأَنَا أُحَدِّثُهُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَمَّارٌ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَدَخَلَ عَمَّارٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَمْ تَرَ خَالِدًا فَعَلَ كَذَا وَفَعَلَ كَذَا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَوْلَا مَجْلِسُكَ مَا سَبَّنِي ابْنُ سُمَيَّةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا عَمَّارُ اخْرُجْ» فَخَرَجَ عَمَّارٌ وَهُوَ يَبْكِي وَيَقُولُ مَا نَصَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى خَالِدٍ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَلَا أَجَبْتَ الرَّجُلَ» قُلْتُ مَا مَنَعَنِي إِنْ أَجَبْتُهُ إِلَّا مَحْقَرَةً لَهُ فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ مَنْ يَبْغَضْ عَمَّارًا يَبْغَضْهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ يَسُبَّ عَمَّارًا يَسُبَّهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ يُحَقِّرْ عَمَّارًا يُحَقِّرْهُ اللَّهُ» فَخَرَجْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أَطْلُبُ إِلَى عَمَّارٍ حَتَّى اسْتَغْفَرَ لِي

[AI] He informed him that 'Utban ibn Malik, who was from the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and had participated in the Battle of Badr among the Ansar, came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have lost my eyesight, but I still pray for my people. When it rains, the valley between me and the mosque floods, and I cannot go to their mosque to pray for them. I wish that you, O Messenger of Allah, would come and pray in my house and make it a place of worship." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "I will do that." The next day, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr As-Siddiq entered the house when the day had brightened. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) sought permission, and I granted him permission. He did not sit down until he entered the house, and then he said, "Where would you like me to pray in your house?" I pointed to a corner of the house. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stood up, said the Takbir, and we stood behind him. He prayed two Rak'ahs and then said the Salam. We detained him in a corner which we made for him. Some men from the people of the house surrounded him until a large number of men gathered in the house. One of them said, "Where is Malik ibn Dukhshun?" Some of them said, "He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said to them, "Do not say that to him. Do you not see that he has said, 'There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah,' seeking the Face of Allah with that?" They said, "Allah and His Messenger know best. We only see his face and his advice to the hypocrites." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "Indeed, Allah, the Most Exalted and High, has forbidden the Fire for whoever says, 'There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah,' seeking the Face of Allah with it."

[AI] Jalibib was a man from the Ansar who used to visit women and talk to them. Abu Barzah said, "I told my wife, 'Jalibib should not enter upon you.'" The companions of the Prophet ﷺ used to not marry off their daughters until they knew whether the Messenger ﷺ wanted them or not. One day, the Prophet ﷺ said to a man from the Ansar, 'O so-and-so, marry your daughter to me.' He said, 'Yes, and may our eyes find rest.' The man asked, 'Is it for myself or someone else?' He replied, 'For Jalibib.' The man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, should I consult her mother?' He then went to her mother and said, 'Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is proposing to marry your daughter.' She replied, 'Yes, and may our eyes find rest.' He asked, 'Is it for himself or someone else?' She said, 'For Jalibib.' He questioned, 'For Jalibib?' She responded, 'By Allah, I will not marry Jalibib.' When her father stood up to go to the Prophet ﷺ , the girl asked her mother, 'Who proposed to you?' She said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' The girl then said, 'Will you reject the proposal of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or me? Accompany me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as he will not disappoint me.' So her father went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'What is your opinion regarding her?' The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'Marry her to Jalibib.' Hammaad said, 'And do you know what he supplicated for her?' Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talhah narrated, 'What did he supplicate?' He said, 'O Allah, pour blessings on them abundantly and do not make their lives difficult.' Thabit said, 'So he married her to him.' While the Prophet ﷺ was in a battle, he asked, 'Is anyone missing?' They said, 'No.' He inquired, 'But I am missing Jalibib. Look for him among the martyrs.' They found him lying beside seven fallen enemies. Then they killed him. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'So he killed seven and they killed him? This act was from me, and I am pleased with him.' He mentioned this seven times, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed him on his arm. There was no bed that did not have the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ arm except for Jalibib's, until he was placed in his grave.' Thabit said, 'He was one of the Ansar who spent in charity whatever he possessed.'

[AI] While a Muslim man was following in the footsteps of a polytheist man, he heard a whip strike above him and the sound of a horseman above him saying, "I am Hudhum." He looked at the polytheist man in front of him and saw him fall flat on his face, with his nose broken and his face cut like a whip strike. That became green like vegetation. Al-Ansari came and informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You have spoken the truth, that is a result of the help from the third heaven." Thus, they killed seventy of the polytheists and took seventy as captives. Ibn 'Abbas said, "When they took the captives, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Bakr, 'What do you think of these captives?' Abu Bakr said, 'O Messenger of Allah, they are the kinsfolk and families. I believe we should accept ransom from them, which will give us strength against the disbelievers, and perhaps Allah will guide them to Islam.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What do you think, O son of Al-Khattab?' I said, 'By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I do not see what Abu Bakr sees, but I think we should cut off their heads and make Ali bin Abi Talib kill 'Uqayl, and I should kill so-and-so, a relative of 'Umar, for they are the leaders of disbelief and the pillars of idolatry.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ approved of what Abu Bakr said, but did not approve of what I said. When it was morning, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and saw him and Abu Bakr weeping. I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, please tell me what made you and your friend weep?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I weep for what has been suggested to my Companions, that they may accept ransom from the captives. Allah has revealed the Ayah, "It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land... This is so because Allah desires to test and purify the believers. And so He will punish the hypocrites, men and women, and the idolaters, men and women, who think evil thoughts about Allah. For them is a disgraceful torment, and Allah will inflict on them a humiliating torment." Thus, Allah allowed the booty.'"

Abu Qatadah said “We went out with the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ in the year of Hunain. And when the armies met, the Muslims suffered a reverse. I saw one of the polytheists prevailing over a Muslim, so I went round him till I came to him from behind and struck him with my sword at the vein between his neck and shoulder. He came towards me and closed with me, so that I felt death was near, but he was overtaken by death and let me go. I then caught upon on “Umar bin Al Khattab and said to him “What is the matter with the people?” He said “It is what Allaah has commanded. Then the people returned and the Apostle of Allaah ﷺsat down and said “If anyone kills a man and can prove it, he will get his spoil. I stood up and said “Who will testify for me? I then sat down.” He said again “If anyone kills a man and can prove it, he will get his spoil. I stood up and said “Who will testify for me? I then sat down.” He then said the same for the third time. I then stood up. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “What is the matter with you, Abu Qatadah? I told him the story. A man from the people said “He has spoken the truth, and I have this spoil with me, so make him agreeable (to take something in exchange). Abu Bakr said “In that case I swear by Allaah that he must not do so. One of the Allaah’s heroes does not fight for Allaah and his Apostle and then give you his spoil. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “He has spoken the truth, hand it over to him. Abu Qatadah said “he handed it over to me, I sold the coat of mail and brought a garden among Banu Salamh. This was the first property I acquired in the Islamic period. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2717)

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said on the day of Hunayn, "Whoever kills a disbeliever, his spoils belong to him." Abu Talha killed twenty men that day and took their belongings. Abu Qatadah said, "O Messenger of Allah, I struck a man on his collarbone while he had a shield and the blow caused the shield to fall off him. Then another man said, 'I took it. So give it to me.' The Prophet ﷺ said nothing unless he was asked for something and he would either give it or keep silent. So he ﷺ remained silent. Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "By Allah, Allah will not let you have it from the lions of His lions and give it to you." Then the Prophet ﷺ laughed and said, "Umar spoke the truth."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ «مَنْ قَتَلَ كَافِرًا فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ» فَقَتَلَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَوْمَئِذٍ عِشْرِينَ رَجُلًا وَأَخَذَ أَسْلَابَهُمْ قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ضَرَبْتُ رَجُلًا عَلَى حَبْلِ الْعَاتِقِ وَعَلَيْهِ دِرْعٌ فَأُجْهِضْتُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا أَخَذْتُهَا فَأَرْضِهِ مِنْهَا وَأَعْطِنِيهَا وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا يُسْأَلُ شَيْئًا أَلَا أَعْطَاهُ أَوْ سَكَتَ فَسَكَتَ ﷺ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَاللَّهِ لَا يُفِيئُهَا اللَّهُ عَلَى أَسَدٍ مِنْ أُسْدِهِ وَيُعْطِيكَهَا فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَقَالَ «صَدَقَ عُمَرُ»

[AI] He said: "Indeed, the Hawazin tribes came on the day of Hunayn with camels, sheep, and horses, and they formed two rows to outnumber the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then, the Muslims and the polytheists met, and the Muslims turned their backs in retreat, just as Allah has said. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I am the slave of Allah and His Messenger. May Allah defeat the polytheists. We did not strike with swords or stab with spears.' On that day, the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whoever kills a disbeliever has the right to take his belongings.' Abu Talhah killed twenty men that day and took their spoils. Abu Qatadah said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I struck a man while he had a necklace on his neck and a shield on his back. I hurriedly left him without taking them off. Please tell me to whom do they belong?' Then a man stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I took them. Grant me ownership of them.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not asked for anything without him giving it or remaining silent. 'Umar said, 'May Allah not allow you to have these spoils. He was one of the lions among them and you are giving him these items.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed and said, 'O Umar, you speak the truth.' Abu Talhah then met Umm Sulaym and she had a dagger with her. He asked, 'O Umm Sulaym, why do you have this with you?' She replied, 'If any of the polytheists approach me, I will stab his stomach with it.' Abu Talhah said, 'O Messenger of Allah, don't you hear what Umm Sulaym is saying?' He ﷺ said, 'O Umm Sulaym, Allah has sufficed and favored us.'"

أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ هَوَازِنَ جَاءَتْ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ بِالشَّاءِ وَالْإِبِلِ وَالْغَنَمِ فَجَعَلُوهَا صَفَّيْنِ لِيُكْثِرُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَالْتَقَى الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ فَوَلَّى الْمُسْلِمُونَ مُدْبِرِينَ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ فَهَزَمَ اللَّهُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَمْ نَضْرِبْ بِسَيْفٍ وَلَمْ نَطْعَنْ بِرُمْحٍ» فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ «مَنْ قَتَلَ كَافِرًا فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ» فَقَتَلَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَوْمَئِذٍ عِشْرِينَ رَجُلًا وَأَخَذَ أَسْلَابَهُمْ فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي ضَرَبْتُ رَجُلًا عَلَى حَبْلِ الْعَاتِقِ وَعَلَيْهِ دِرْعٌ فَأُعْجِلْتُ عَنْهُ أَنْ آخُذَهَا فَانْظُرْ مَعَ مَنْ هِيَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَا أَخَذْتُهَا فَأَرْضِهِ مِنِّي وَأَعْطِنِيهَا فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَا يُسْأَلُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ أَوْ سَكَتَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لَا يُفِيئُهَا اللَّهُ عَلَى أَسَدٍ مِنْ أُسْدِهِ وَيُعْطِيكَهَا فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ صَدَقَ عُمَرُ وَلَقِيَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ وَمَعَهَا خِنْجَرٌ فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ مَا هَذَا مَعَكِ؟ قَالَتْ أَرَدْتُ إِنْ دَنَا مِنِّي بَعْضُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَنْ أَبْعَجَ بِهِ بَطْنَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا تَسْمَعُ مَا تَقُولُ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ؟ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقْتُلُ بِهَا الطُّلَقَاءَ انْهَزَمُوا بِكَ فَقَالَ ﷺ «يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ كَفَى وَأَحْسَنَ»

I felt some feebleness in the voice of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and perceived that it was due to hunger; so have you anything with you? She said: Yes. She brought out barley loaves, then took out a head-covering of hers, in a part of which she wrapped those loaves and then put them beneath my mantle and covered me with a part of it. She then sent me to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I set forth and found Messenger of Allah ﷺ sitting in the mosque in the company of some persons. I stood near them, whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Has Abu Talha sent you? I said, Yes. He said: Is it for a feast? I said. Yes. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to'those who were with him to get up He went forth and so I did before them, until I came to Abu Talha and informed him. Abu Talba said: Umm Sulaim, here comes Messenger of Allah ﷺ along with people and we do not have enough (food) to feed them. She said: Allah and His Messenger know best. Abu Talha went out (to receive him) Until he met Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Allah's Apostle ﷺ came forward along with him until they both (Messenger of Allah, along with Abu Talha) came in. Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Umm Sulaim. bring forth that which you have with you. She brought the bread. Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded that the bread be broken into small pieces, and when Umm Sulaim had squeezed a small waterskin and put seasoning on it, Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited something regarding it what Allah wished him to say. He then said: Allow ten (guests to come in and have their meals). He permitted them; they ate until they had their fill. They then went out. He (the Holy Prophet) again said: Permit ten (more) and he (the host gave permission to them. They ate until they had enough. Then they went out. he again said: Permit ten (more) until all the people had eaten to their fill, and they were seventy or eighty persons. (Using translation from Muslim 2040a)

[AI] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the marketplace of Dhi Al-Majaz wearing a red robe, and he was saying, "O people, say there is no deity but Allah, and you will be successful." A man was following him, throwing stones at him, causing his back and heels to bleed, while saying, "O people, do not obey him, for he is a liar." I asked, "Who is this?" It was said, "He is the son of Abd Al-Muttalib." I then asked, "Who is the one who follows him and throws stones at him?" It was said, "He is Abd Al-Uzza, the father of Lahab." When Islam emerged, we left until we reached a place near Madinah, and we had with us a container of dates. While we were sitting, a man approached us wearing two white garments and greeted us, asking, "Where are the people coming from?" We said, "From Rabdah." He asked, "Do you sell this camel?" We said, "Yes." He asked, "For how much?" We replied, "For such and such amount of dates." He said, "I will take it." He took the camel and did not haggle with us. Then, he disappeared within the walls of Madinah, and we whispered to each other, wondering if he knew the value of our camel. The man with the container said, "Do not whisper among yourselves, for I saw the face of a man whom none of you could belittle. I have never seen anything resembling the moon on the night of a full moon as his face." Later that evening, a man approached us and greeted us, saying, "I am the Messenger of the Messenger of Allah, and he says, 'You may eat until you are satiated, and trade until you are content.'" We ate until we were full and traded until we were content. The next morning, we arrived at Madinah, and there stood the Messenger of Allah, delivering a sermon from the pulpit, saying, "The hand that gives is higher than the one that receives, and start with those you are responsible for, your mother and father, then your sister and brother, and then the closest ones." A man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, these are the sons of Tha'laba ibn Yarbua who killed so and so in the age of ignorance. Take our revenge from him." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands up, and I saw the whiteness of his armpits as he said, "No, a mother cannot seek revenge for her child, no, a mother cannot seek revenge for her child."

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي سُوقِ ذِي الْمَجَازِ وَعَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ حَمْرَاءُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ تُفْلِحُوا» وَرَجُلٌ يَتْبَعُهُ يَرْمِيهِ بِالْحِجَارَةِ وَقَدْ أَدْمَى عُرْقُوبَيْهِ وَكَعْبَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَا تُطِيعُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ كَذَّابٌ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قِيلَ هَذَا غُلَامُ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قُلْتُ فَمَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي يَتْبَعُهُ يَرْمِيهِ بِالْحِجَارَةِ؟ قَالَ هَذَا عَبْدُ الْعُزَّى أَبُو لَهَبٍ قَالَ فَلَمَّا ظَهَرَ الْإِسْلَامُ خَرَجْنَا فِي ذَلِكَ حَتَّى نَزَلْنَا قَرِيبًا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَمَعَنَا ظَعِينَةٌ لَنَا فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ قُعُودٌ إِذْ أَتَانَا رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَبْيَضَانِ فَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلَ الْقَوْمُ؟ قُلْنَا مِنَ الرَّبَذَةِ قَالَ وَمَعَنَا جَمَلٌ قَالَ أَتَبِيعُونَ هَذَا الْجَمَلَ؟ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ بِكَمْ؟ قُلْنَا بِكَذَا وَكَذَا صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ قَالَ فَأَخَذَهُ وَلَمْ يَسْتَنْقِصْنَا قَالَ قَدْ أَخَذْتُهُ ثُمَّ تَوَارَى بِحِيطَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَتَلَاوَمْنَا فِيمَا بَيْنَنَا فَقُلْنَا أَعْطَيْتُمْ جَمَلَكُمْ رَجُلًا لَا تَعْرِفُونَهُ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَتِ الظَّعِينَةُ لَا تَلَاوَمُوا فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ وَجْهَ رَجُلٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيَحْقِرَكُمْ * مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا أَشْبَهَ بِالْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ مِنْ وَجْهِهِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْعَشِيِّ أَتَانَا رَجُلٌ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا وَقَالَ أَنَا رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوا حَتَّى تَشْبَعُوا وَتَكْتَالُوا حَتَّى تَسْتَوْفُوا» قَالَ فَأَكَلْنَا حَتَّى شَبِعْنَا وَاكْتَلْنَا حَتَّى اسْتَوْفَيْنَا قَالَ ثُمَّ قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَائِمٌ يَخْطُبُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «يَدُ الْمُعْطِي يَدُ الْعُلْيَا وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ أُمَّكَ وَأَبَاكَ أُخْتَكَ وَأَخَاكَ ثُمَّ أَدْنَاكَ أَدْنَاكَ» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ يَرْبُوعٍ قَتَلُوا فُلَانًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَخُذْ لَنَا بِثَأْرِنَا مِنْهُ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ وَقَالَ «أَلَا لَا تَجْنِي أُمٌّ عَلَى وَلَدٍ أَلَا لَا تَجْنِي أُمٌّ عَلَى وَلَدٍ»

[AI] When it was Monday, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ removed the curtain of the room and saw Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq praying with the people. He said, "I looked at his face, and it was as if it was a page of the Quran, and he was smiling. We almost got distracted in our prayers out of joy of seeing the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Abu Bakr intended to move, but when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured to him, he stayed in his place. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ opened the curtain and performed his prayer. On the same day, he passed away. Umar ibn Al-Khattab stood up and said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not die, but he was sent to him as Moses was sent to him, and he resided among his people for forty nights. By Allah, I hope that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ will live until he cuts off the hands of men from the hypocrites and silences their tongues, who claim that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has died." Al-Zuhri reported that Anas ibn Malik informed him that he heard the speech of Umar ibn Al-Khattab about the Hereafter when he sat on the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day after his death. Umar and Abu Bakr were quiet and did not speak, then Umar said, "As for the yesterday's statement, it was not as I said, and by Allah, I did not find the statement that I said in a book revealed by Allah or in a covenant given to me by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . But I hoped that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would live until he settles our affairs. If Muhammad ﷺ has indeed died, then Allah has placed among you a light, by which you will be guided. Hold fast to it, and be guided by what Allah has guided Muhammad ﷺ to. And indeed, Abu Bakr, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , is the second of the two. And he is the most deserving among you of your affairs. So pledge allegiance to him. And indeed, a group of them had already pledged allegiance to him in Saqifah Bani Sa'idah. And the pledge of the common people was on the pulpit."

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الِاثْنَيْنِ كَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُتْرَةَ الْحُجْرَةِ فَرَأَى أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ ؓ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ كَأَنَّهُ وَرَقَةُ مُصْحَفٍ وَهُوَ يَتَبَسَّمُ فَكِدْنَا أَنْ نَفْتَتِنَ فِي صَلَاتِنَا فَرَحًا بِرُؤْيَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَرَادَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ أَنْ يَنْكُصَ حِينَ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «كَمَا أَنْتَ» ثُمَّ أَرْخَى السِّتْرَ وَتُوُفِّيَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ذَلِكَ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَمُتْ وَلَكِنَّهُ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِ كَمَا أُرْسِلَ إِلَى مُوسَى فَمَكَثَ فِي قَوْمِهِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَعِيشَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى يَقْطَعَ أَيْدِيَ رِجَالٍ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَأَلْسِنَتَهُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ مَاتَ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ خُطْبَةَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ الْآخِرَةَ حِينَ جَلَسَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَذَلِكَ الْغَدَ مِنْ يَوْمِ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَتَشَهَّدَ عُمَرُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ صَامِتٌ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي قُلْتُ أَمْسَ مَقَالَةً وَإِنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ كَمَا قُلْتُ وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا وَجَدْتُ الْمَقَالَةَ الَّتِي قُلْتُ فِي كِتَابٍ أَنْزَلَهُ اللَّهُ وَلَا فِي عَهْدٍ عَهِدَهِ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَكِنِّي كُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَعِيشَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى يَدْبُرَنَا يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ أَنْ يَكُونَ آخِرَهُمْ فَإِنْ يَكُ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ قَدْ مَاتَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ جَعَلَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ نُورًا تَهْتَدُونَ بِهِ فَاعْتَصِمُوا بِهِ تَهْتَدُوا لِمَا هَدَى اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ ثُمَّ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَثَانِي اثْنَيْنِ وَإِنَّهُ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِأُمُورِكُمْ فَقُومُوا فَبَايِعُوهُ وَكَانَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ قَدْ بَايَعُوهُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فِي سَقِيفَةِ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ وَكَانَتْ بَيْعَةُ الْعَامَّةِ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and said, "I have been informed that Ibn Safwan ibn Nubayh al-Hudhali has gathered people to support me while he is near a date palm or a cluster of dates, so go to him." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, describe him to me so that I may recognize him." He said, "One of the signs between you and him is that when you see him, you will find a shiver down your spine." He said, "So I set out with my sword wrapped around me until I came to him while he was in a shady place which he usually visited at the time of Asr prayer. When I saw him, I found exactly what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had described to me. So I approached him and feared that there might be some attempt to distract me from the prayer, so I prayed while walking towards him and nodded with my head. When I finished the prayer, I went up to him and he said, "Who is it?" I said, "A man from the Arabs who heard about you and your gathering for this man and came for that reason." He said, "It is indeed me." So I walked with him for a while until it was possible for me to seize him with my sword, so I killed him. Then I came and left his belongings piled up around him. When I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he saw me, he said, "The face has succeeded." I said, "I killed him, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "You have spoken the truth." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up with me and took me to his house and gave me a stick and said, "Keep this stick with you, O Abdullah ibn Unays." He said, "So I went out with it among the people, and they said, "What is this stick?" I said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave it to me and ordered me to keep it." They said, "Why don't you return to the Messenger of Allah and ask him about it?" He said, "So I went back to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, why did you give me this stick?" He said, "It is a sign between you and me on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, the least of people on that day will be those who are too short." So Abdullah linked it to his sword and it remained with him until his death. Then he (the Prophet) ordered that it be buried with him in his shroud, and so we were all buried together.

دَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ ابْنَ سُفْيَانَ بْنَ نُبَيْحٍ الْهُذَلِيَّ جَمَعَ لِيَ النَّاسَ لِيَعْزُوَنِي وَهُوَ بِنَخْلَةَ أَوْ بِعُرَنَةَ فَأْتِهِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ انْعَتْهُ لِي حَتَّى أَعْرِفَهُ قَالَ «آيَةُ مَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ أَنَّكَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُ وَجَدْتَ لَهُ إِقْشَعْرِيَرَةً» قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ مُتَوَشِّحًا بِسَيْفِي حَتَّى دُفِعْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ فِي ظُعُنٍ يَرْتَادُ لَهُنَّ مَنْزِلًا حِينَ كَانَ وَقْتُ الْعَصْرِ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ وَجَدْتُ مَا وَصَفَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْإِقْشَعْرِيرَةِ فَأَخَذْتُ نَحْوَهُ وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ مُحَاوَلَةٌ تَشْغَلُنِي عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فَصَلَّيْتُ وَأَنَا أَمْشِي نَحْوَهُ وَأُومِئُ بِرَأْسِي فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ مِمَّنِ الرَّجُلُ؟ قُلْتُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ سَمِعَ بِكَ وَبِجَمْعِكَ لِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ فَجَاءَ لِذَلِكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَنَا فِي ذَلِكَ فَمَشَيْتُ مَعَهُ شَيْئًا حَتَّى إِذَا أَمْكَنَنِي حَمَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِالسَّيْفِ حَتَّى قَتَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ وَتَرَكْتُ ظَعَائِنَهُ مُنْكَبَّاتٍ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرَآنِي قَالَ «قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْوَجْهُ» قُلْتُ قَتَلْتُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «صَدَقْتَ» قَالَ ثُمَّ قَامَ مَعِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَدْخَلَنِي بَيْتَهُ وَأَعْطَانِي عَصًا فَقَالَ «أَمْسِكْ هَذِهِ الْعَصَا عِنْدَكَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُنَيْسٍ» قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ بِهَا عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالُوا مَا هَذِهِ الْعَصَا؟ قُلْتُ أَعْطَانِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُمْسِكَهَا قَالُوا أَفَلَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَتَسْأَلَهُ لِمَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمَ أَعْطَيْتَنِي هَذِهِ الْعَصَا قَالَ «آيَةٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّ أَقَلَّ النَّاسِ الْمُتَخَصِّرُونَ يَوْمَئِذٍ» فَقَرَنَهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بِسَيْفِهِ فَلَمْ تَزَلْ مَعَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا مَاتَ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَضُمَّتْ مَعَهُ فِي كَفَنِهِ ثُمَّ دُفِنَا جَمِيعًا

May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he bestowed (these camels) upon the people of Quraish, and he ignored us, whereas our swords are still dripping blood. Anas b. Malik said: Their statement was conveyed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he sent (someone) to the Ansar and gathered them under a tent of leather. When they had assembled, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said: What is this news that has reached me from you? The wise people of the Ansar said: Messenger of Allah, so far as the sagacious amongst us are concerned they have said nothing, but we have amongst us persons of immature age; they said: May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he gave to the Quraish and ignored us (despite the fact) that our swords are besmeared with their blood. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I give (at times material gifts) to persons who were quite recently in the state of unbelief, so that I may incline them to truth Don't you feel delighted that people should go with riches, and you should go back to your places with the Messenger of Allah? By Allah, that with which you would return is better than that with which they would return. They said: Yes, Messenger of Allah, we are pleased. The Prophet said too: You would find marked preference (in conferring of the material gifts) in future, so you should show patience till you meet Allah and His Messenger and I would he at the Haud Kauthar. They said: We would show patience. (Using translation from Muslim 1059a)

أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ حِينَ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ مَا أَفَاءَ فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي رِجَالًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْمِئَةَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِهِ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَحَدَّثْتُ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ قَوْلِهِمْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ؟ » فَقَالَ لَهُ قَوْمٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَمَّا ذَوُو أَسْنَانِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا نَاسٌ مِنَّا حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِهِ يُعْطِي أُنَاسًا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالًا حَدِيثِي عَهْدٍ بِالْكُفْرِ أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ أَفَلَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالْأَمْوَالِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ؟ فَوَاللَّهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ» فَقَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا قَالَ «فَإِنَّكُمْ سَتَجِدُونَ أَثَرَةً شَدِيدَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلَقَوَا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ» قَالُوا سَنَصْبِرُ
