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  

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.

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."

[Machine] 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  

[Machine] 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."

[Machine] 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."  

أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ حِينَ أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ أَمْوَالَ هَوَازِنَ فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي رِجَالًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ كُلَّ رَجُلٍ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَحُدِّثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَقَالَتِهِمْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ وَلَمْ يَدْعُ مَعَهُمْ أَحَدًا غَيْرَهُمْ فَلَمَّااجْتَمَعُوا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ؟ فَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ أَمَّا ذَوُو رَأْيِنَا فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا نَاسٌ حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا كَذَا وَكَذَا لِلَّذِي قَالُوا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي لَأُعْطِي رِجَالًا حُدَثَاءَ عَهْدٍ بِكُفْرٍ أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ أَوْ قَالَ أَسْتَأْلِفُهُمْ أَفَلَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالْأَمْوَالِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ؟ فَوَاللهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ قَالُوا أَجَلْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّكُمْ سَتَجِدُونَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً شَدِيدَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْا اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنِّي فَرَطُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَلَمْ نَصْبِرْ  

[Machine] 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  

[Machine] 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)

[Machine] 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»  

[Machine] 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  

[Machine] Abu Talhah, O Umm Sulaym, prepare something for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . She ground some barley and made it into a dish. Then Abu Talhah called me and said, "Go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and say, 'Verily, my father invites you and your companion (meaning me).' Anas said, "So I went and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting in the mosque. When he saw me, he said, 'O Anas.' I replied, 'Here I am, O Messenger of Allah.' He asked, 'Did your father call you?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Go then.' Every time the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a gathering, he would say, 'Stand up.' So I quickly went until I reached Abu Talhah and said, 'This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who has come and he has brought some people with him.' Abu Talhah said, 'Didn't I tell you to invite him privately?' I said, 'Yes, but when he asked me if my father had called me, I could not lie to him.' So Abu Talhah met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the door of the house and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, this is something we wanted to offer you.' He said, 'Enter.' So they both entered and Umm Sulaym had a flatbread (al-ukkah) that she was pressing and it was dry or nearly dry. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Umm Sulaym, give it to me so that I can soften it for her in a better manner than you.'" He (the narrator) said: "So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took it with his hand and said, 'With ghee like this.' Then he placed his hand on top of the bread and said, 'O Abu Talhah, bring ten (people).' So ten entered and they all ate until they were full. Then he continued to bring in another ten, ten by ten, until seventy or eighty had entered. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the people of the household ate, and they gave the best of what they had to their neighbors."  

أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ اصْنَعِي شَيْئًا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَطَحَنَتْ شَيْئًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ فَصَنَعَتْهُ ثُمَّ دَعَانِي أَبُو طَلْحَةَ فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْ إِنَّ أَبِي يَدْعُوكَ وَأَسِرَّهُ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَأَقْبَلْتُ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَالَ «يَا أَنَسُ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «دَعَانِي أَبُوكَ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «قُومُوا» ثُمَّ قَالَ لَمْ يَمُرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى مَجْلِسٍ إِلَّا قَالَ «قُومُوا» فَخَرَجْتُ سَرِيعًا حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ جَاءَ وَأَتَى بِالنَّاسِ فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أَلَمْ آمُرْكَ أَنْ تَخْلُوَ بِهِ؟ قُلْتُ لَمَّا سَأَلَنِي هَلْ دَعَانِي أَبُوكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَمْ أَكْذِبْهُ وَلَقِيَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى بَابِ الدَّارِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللِّهِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْءٌ أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَخُصَّكَ بِهِ فَقَالَ «ادْخُلْ» فَدَخَلَ هُوَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ وَأُمُّ سُلَيْمٌ مَعَهَا عُكَّةٌ تَعْصُرُهَا وَكَانَتْ يَبِسَتْ أَوْ كَادَتْ تَيْبَسُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ نَاوِلِنِيهَا حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحْسَنَ لَهَا عَصْرًا مِنْكِ» فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ بِالسَّمْنِ هَكَذَا ثُمَّ وَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ الثَّرِيدِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ أَدْخِلْ عَشْرَةً» فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عَشْرَةٌ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزَلْ يُدْخِلُ عَشْرَةً عَشْرَةً فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى ثَمِلُوا حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ مَا بَيْنَ السَّبْعِينَ إِلَّى الثَّمَانِينَ ثُمَّ أًَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ وَأَفْضَلُوا مَا أَهْدَوْا لِجِيرَانِهِمْ  

[Machine] "For the Jewish scholars, I am a visitor to the mosque of our father Ibrahim and Ismail, making a covenant. I went to the messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in Makkah, and I met him when he had just finished performing Hajj. The messenger of Allah ﷺ found me in Mina with the people, and I stood among them. When the messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at me, he said, 'Are you Abdullah ibn Salam?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Come closer.' So, I approached him. He asked, 'By Allah, I ask you, O Abdullah ibn Salam, do you find me in the Torah as the messenger of Allah?' I said, 'Our Lord, describe him.' He said, 'Then Jibril came to him until he stood in front of the messenger of Allah ﷺ, then he recited to him, "Say: He is Allah, [who is] One, Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent."' Then the messenger of Allah ﷺ recited it to us. Ibn Salam said, 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are the messenger of Allah.' Then he went to Madinah and kept his Islam hidden. When the messenger of Allah ﷺ migrated to Madinah, I was on top of a palm tree, and I heard a noise in the city. I said, 'What is this?' They said, 'It is the messenger of Allah who has arrived.' So, I threw myself down from the top of the palm tree and then I approached him and greeted him. Then I went back, and my mother said, 'By Allah, if Musa ibn Imran (Moses) was here, he would not have thrown himself down from the top of the palm tree like that.' I said, 'By Allah, I went down because I am eager for the arrival of the messenger of Allah ﷺ, just as Musa ibn Imran was sent.'"  

لِأَحْبَارِ الْيَهُودِ إِنِّي أَحْدَثُ بِمَسْجِدِ أَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ عَهْدًا فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ بِمَكَّةَ فَوَافَاهُمْ وَقَدِ انْصَرَفُوا مِنَ الْحَجِّ فَوَجَدَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِمِنًى وَالنَّاسُ حَوْلَهُ فَقُمْتُ مَعَ النَّاسِ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَنْتَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «ادْنُ» فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ قَالَ «أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللهِ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَلَامٍ أَمَا تَجِدُنِي فِي التَّوْرَاةِ رَسُولُ اللهِ؟» فَقُلْتُ لَهُ انْعَتْ رَبَّنَا قَالَ فَجَاءَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ حَتَّى وَقَفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ {قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ اللهُ الصَّمَدُ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ} فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ ابْنُ سَلَامٍ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَكَتَمَ إِسْلَامَهُ فَلَمَّا هَاجَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَأَنَا فَوْقَ فِي نَخْلَةٍ لِي أَجُدُّهَا فَسَمِعْتُ رَجَّةً فِي الْمَدِينَةِ فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالُوا رَسُولُ اللهِ قَدْ قَدِمَ قَالَ فَأَلْقَيْتُ نَفْسِي مِنْ أَعْلَى النَّخْلَةِ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ أَحْضُرُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُهُ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ فَقَالَتْ أُمِّي لِلَّهِ أَنْتَ وَاللهِ لَوْ كَانَ مُوسَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ مَا كَانَ بِذَلِكَ تُلْقِي نَفْسَكَ مِنْ أَعْلَى النَّخْلَةِ فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ لَأَنَا أَسَرُّ بِقُدُومِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ إِذْ بُعِثَ  

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)   

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَامَ حُنَيْنٍ فَلَمَّا الْتَقَيْنَا كَانَتْ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ جَوْلَةٌ فَرَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَدْ عَلَا رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ فَاسْتَدَرْتُ لَهُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ فَضَرَبْتُهُ عَلَى حَبْلِ عَاتِقِهِ ضَرْبَةً فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ وَضَمَّنِي ضَمَّةً وَجَدْتُ مِنْهَا رِيحَ الْمَوْتِ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَهُ الْمَوْتُ فَأَرْسَلَنِي فَلَحِقْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا بَالُ النَّاسِ؟ قَالَ أَمْرُ اللهِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّاسَ رَجَعُوا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَتَلَ قَتِيلًا لَهُ عَلَيْهِ بَيِّنَةٌ فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ فَقُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لِي؟ ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ فَقَالَهَا الثَّانِيَةَ فَقُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لِي؟ ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ فَقَالَهَا الثَّالِثَةَ فَقُمْتُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا لَكَ يَا أَبَا قَتَادَةَ؟ فَاقْتَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْقِصَّةَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ صَدَقَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَسَلَبُ ذَلِكَ الْقَتِيلِ عِنْدِي فَأَرْضِهِ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لَاهَا اللهِ إِذًا لَا يَعْمِدُ إِلَى أَسَدٍ مِنْ أُسْدِ اللهِ يُقَاتِلُ عَنِ اللهِ فَيُعْطِيكَ سَلَبَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَدَقَ؛ فَأَعْطِهِ إِيَّاهُ قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ فَأَعْطَنِيهِ فَبِعْتُ الدِّرْعَ فَابْتَعْتُ بِهِ مَخْرَفًا فِي بَنِي سَلِمَةَ فَإِنَّهُ لَأَوَّلُ مَالٍ تَأَثَّلْتُهُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ قَالَ مَالِكٌ الْمَخْرَفُ النَّخْلُ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الشَّافِعِيِّ  

[Machine] On the day of Hunayn, the Hawazin tribe came with their women, children, camels, and sheep, and they formed rows. They outnumbered the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the Muslims and the polytheists met. The Muslims turned their backs, as Allah had foretold. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O servants of Allah, I am the slave of Allah and His Messenger. O Ansar, I am the slave of Allah and His Messenger." Allah gave victory to the Muslims without any swords or spears being used. The Prophet ﷺ said on that day, "Whoever kills a disbeliever shall have his spoils." Abu Talha killed twenty men that day and took their spoils. Abu Qatadah said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , "O Messenger of Allah, I struck a man with a neck chain and he had a shield. I wanted to take his spoils but someone else claimed it. Please give it to me." A man said, "I took it from him, so it belongs to me. Give it to me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent. He never refused anyone who asked him for something or remained silent when asked a question. Umar said, "By Allah, Allah will never give it to you over a lion from among His lions and give it to you." The Prophet ﷺ laughed and said, "Umar is right." Abu Talha met Umm Sulaim and she had a dagger with her. He asked her, "What is this with you?" She said, "If any of the polytheists approach me, I will stab him." Abu Talha informed the Prophet ﷺ about what Umm Sulaim said. Umm Sulaim said, "O Messenger of Allah, kill the free ones after us." The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Umm Sulaim, Allah has sufficed and done well." This is the last narration in the story of Umm Sulaim, and it is authentic according to its conditions.  

أَنَّ هَوَازِنَ جَاءَتْ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ بِالنِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ وَالْإِبِلِ وَالْغَنَمِ فَجَعَلُوهُمْ صُفُوفًا؛ يُكْثِرُونَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَالْتَقَى الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ فَوَلَّى الْمُسْلِمُونَ مُدْبِرِينَ كَمَا قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا عِبَادَ اللهِ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ وَرَسُولُهُ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ وَرَسُولُهُ فَهَزَمَ اللهُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَمْ يُضْرَبْ بِسَيْفٍ وَلَمْ يُطْعَنْ بِرُمْحٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَنْ قَتَلَ كَافِرًا فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ فَأَخَذَ وَفِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ فَقَتَلَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَوْمَئِذٍ عِشْرِينَ رَجُلًا فَأَخَذَ أَسْلَابَهُمْ فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ ضَرَبْتُ رَجُلًا عَلَى حَبْلِ الْعَاتِقِ وَعَلَيْهِ دِرْعٌ عَجِلْتُ عَنْهُ أَنْ آخُذَ سَلَبَهُ فَانْظُرْ مَعَ مَنْ فَأَعْطِنِيهَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا أَخَذْتُهَا فَأَرْضِهِ مِنْهَا وَأَعْطِنِيهَا فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ لَا يُسْأَلُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ أَوْ سَكَتَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ وَاللهِ لَا يُفِيئُهَا اللهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى أَسَدٍ مِنْ أُسْدِهِ وَيُعْطِيكَهَا فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَقَالَ صَدَقَ عُمَرُ وَلَقِيَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ وَمَعَهَا خِنْجَرٌ فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ مَا هَذَا مَعَكِ؟ قَالَتْ إِنْ دَنَا مِنِّي رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَبْعَجُ بَطْنَهُ فَأَخْبَرَ بِذَلِكَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اقْتُلْ مَنْ بَعْدَنَا الطُّلَقَاءَ فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ كَفَى وَأَحْسَنَ أَخْرَجَ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ آخِرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فِي قِصَّةِ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ وَهُوَ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِهِ  

"عَنْ أنَسٍ: أَنَّ هَوَازِنَ جَاءَتْ بِالصَّبْيَانِ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالإِبِلِ وَالغَنَم فَجَعلُوهَا صُفُوفًا يُكَبِّرُونَ علَى رَسُول الله ﷺ فَلَمَّا التَقَوْا وَلَّى المُسْلِمُونَ كمَا قَالَ الله، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : يَا عِبَادَ الله أنَا عَبْدُ الله وَرسُولُهُ، ثمَّ قَالَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ المُهَاجِرِين أنَا عَبْدُ الله وَرَسُولُهُ، فَهَزَمَ الله المُشْرِكِينَ وَلَمْ يَضْرِبْ بِسَيْف، وَلَمْ يطعنْ بِرُمْحٍ، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يَوْمئذٍ: مَنْ قَتَلَ كَافِرًا فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ، فَقَتلَ أبُو طلحَةَ يوْمَئِذٍ عِشْرِينَ رَجُلًا فَأخَذَ أسْلاَبَهُمْ، وَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله إِنِّي ضَرَبْتُ رَجُلًا عَلَى حَبْلِ العَاتق

وَعَليْهِ دِرعٌ لَهُ قَدْ كعصت عَنْهُ فَأُعجلت عنه، قَالَ: فَانْظُرْ مَنْ أخَذَهَا؟ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: أنَا أخَذْتُهَا، فَأرْضِهِ مِنْهَا وَأعْطِينيهَا، وَكَانَ رسولُ الله ﷺ لاَ يُسْألُ شَيْئًا إلَّا أعْطَاهُ أوْ سكت، فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: لاَ وَالله لاَ يُفِيئُهَا الله عَلَى أسَدٍ مِنْ أُسْدِهِ وَيُعْطِيكَهَا، فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ وَقَالَ: صَدَقَ عُمَرُ، وَلَقِىَ أبُو طَلحَةَ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ وَمَعَهَا خِنْجَرٌ، فَقَالَ أبُو طَلحَةَ: يَا أُمَّ سُلَيمٍ مَا هَذَا مَعَكِ؟ قَالَتْ: أَرَدْتُ إِنْ دَنَا منِّى بَعْض المُشْرِكِينَ أنْ أُبعِجَ بِهِ بطنَهُ، فَقَالَ أبُو طَلحَةَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله لاَ تَسْمَعُ (*) مَا تَقُولُ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ؟ قالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ الله: قل تعدنا من الطلقاء (* *)، انْهَزَمُوا بِكَ يَا رَسُولَ الله، قَالَ: إِنَّ الله قَدْ كفَى وَأَحْسَنَ".
