(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."

Abu ʿAbdur-Rahman and Hibban bin 'Atiyya had a dispute. Abu ʿAbdur-Rahman said to Hibban, "You know what made your companions (i.e. ʿAli) dare to shed blood." Hibban said, "Come on! What is that?" ʿAbdur-Rahman said, "Something I heard him saying." The other said, "What was it?" ʿAbdurRahman said, "ʿAli said, Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for me, Az-Zubair and Abu Marthad, and all of us were cavalry men, and said, 'Proceed to Raudat-Hajj (Abu Salama said that Abu 'Awana called it like this, i.e., Hajj where there is a woman carrying a letter from Hatib bin Abi Balta'a to the pagans (of Mecca). So bring that letter to me.' So we proceeded riding on our horses till we overtook her at the same place of which Messenger of Allah ﷺ had told us. She was traveling on her camel. In that letter Hatib had written to the Meccans about the proposed attached of Messenger of Allah ﷺ against them. We asked her, "Where is the letter which is with you?' She replied, 'I haven't got any letter.' So we made her camel kneel down and searched her luggage, but we did not find anything. My two companions said, 'We do not think that she has got a letter.' I said, 'We know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ has not told a lie.'" Then ʿAli took an oath saying, "By Him by Whom one should swear! You shall either bring out the letter or we shall strip off your clothes." She then stretched out her hand for her girdle (round her waist) and brought out the paper (letter). They took the letter to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. ʿUmar said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! (Hatib) has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers; let me chop off his neck!" Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Hatib! What obliged you to do what you have done?" Hatib replied, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Why (for what reason) should I not believe in Allah and His Apostle? But I intended to do the (Mecca) people a favor by virtue of which my family and property may be protected as there is none of your companions but has some of his people (relatives) whom Allah urges to protect his family and property." The Prophet ﷺ said, "He has said the truth; therefore, do not say anything to him except good." ʿUmar again said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! He has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers; let me chop his neck off!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Isn't he from those who fought the battle of Badr? And what do you know, Allah might have looked at them (Badr warriors) and said (to them), 'Do what you like, for I have granted you Paradise?' " On that, ʿUmar's eyes became flooded with tears and he said, "Allah and His Apostle know best."

O people, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There would arise from my Ummah a people who would recite the Qur'an, and your recital would seem insignificant as compared with their recital, your prayer as compared with their prayer, and your fast, as compared with their fast. They would recite the Qur'an thinking that it supports them, whereas it is an evidence against them. Their prayer does not get beyond their collar bone; they would swerve through Islam just as the arrow passes through the prey. If the squadron which is to encounter them were to know (what great boon) has been assured to them by their Messenger ﷺ they would completely rely upon this deed (alone and cease to do other good deeds), and their (that of the Khawarij) distinctive mark is that there would be (among them) a person whose wrist would be without the arm, and the end of his wrist would be fleshy like the nipple of the breast on which there would be white hair. You would be marching towards Muawiya and the people of Syria and you would leave them behind among your children and your property (to do harm). By Allah, I believe that these are the people (against whom you have been commanded to fight and get reward) for they have shed forbidden blood, and raided the animals of the people. So go forth in the name of Allah (to fight against them). Salama b. Kuhail mentioned that Zaid b. Wahb made me alight at every stage, till we crossed a bridge. 'Abdullah b. Wahb al-Rasibi was at the head of the Khawarij when we encountered them. He ('Abdullah) said to his army: Throw the spears and draw out your swords from their sheaths, for I fear that they would attack you as they attacked you on the day of Harura. They went back and threw their spears and drew out their swords, and people fought against them with spears and they were killed one after another. Only two persons were killed among the people (among the army led by 'Ali) on that day. 'Ali (Allah be pleased with him) said: Find out from among them (the dead bodies of the Khawarij) (the maimed). They searched but did not find him. 'Ali (Allah be pleased with him) then himself stood up and (walked) till he came to the people who had been killed one after another. He ('Ali) said: Search them to the last, and then ('Ali's companions) found him (the dead body of the maimed) near the earth. He ('Ali) then pronounced Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest) and then said, Allah told the Truth and His Messenger ﷺ conveyed it. Then there stood before him 'Abida Salmani who said: Commander of the Believers, by Allah, besides Whom there is no god but He, (tell me) whether you heard this hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: Yes, by Allah, besides Whom there is no god but He. He asked him to take an oath thrice and he took the oath.

I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a journey. We travelled the whole of the night, and when it was about to dawn, we got down for rest, and were overpowered (by sleep) till the sun shone. Abu Bakr was the first to awake amongst us. and we did not awake the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from his sleep allowing him to wake up (of his own accord). It was 'Umar who then woke up. He stood by the side of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and recited takbir in a loud voice till the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up. When he lifted his head, he saw that the sun had arisen; he then said: Proceed on. He travelled along with us till the sun shone brightly. He came down (from his camel) and led us in the morning prayer. A person, however, remained away from the people and did not say, prayer along with us. After having completed the prayer, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: O, so and so, what prevented you from observing prayer with us? He said: Apostle of Allah! I was not in a state of purity. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered him arid lie performed Tayammum with dust and said prayer. He then urged me to go ahead immediately along with other riders to find out water, for we felt very thirsty. We were traveling when we came across a woman who was sitting (on a camel) with her feet hanging over two leathern water bags. We said to her: How far is water available? She, said: Far, very far, very far. You cannot get water. We (again) said: How much distance is there between (the residence of) your family and water? She said: It is a day and night journey. We said to her: You go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: Who is the Messenger of Allah? We somehow or the other managed to bring her to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he asked about her, and she informed him as she had informed us that she was a widow having orphan children. He ordered that her camel should be made to kneal down and he gargled in the opening (of her leathern water-bag). The camel was then raised up and we forty thirsty men drank water till we were completely satiated, and we filled up all leathern water-bags and water-skins that we had with us and we washed our companions, but we did not make any camel drink, and (the leathern water-bags) were about to burst (on account of excess of water). He then said: Bring whatever you have with you. So we collected the bits (of estable things) and dates and packed them up in a bundle, and said to her: Take it away. This is meant for your children, and know that we have not its any way done any loss to your water. W hen she came to her family she said: I have met the greatest magician amongst human beings, or he is an apostle, as he claims to be, and she then narrated what had happened and Allah guided aright those people through that woman. She affirmed her faith in Islam and so did the people embrace Islam.

AbdurRahman ibn Ka'b ibn Malik reported on the authority of a man from among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ: The infidels of the Quraysh wrote (a letter) to Ibn Ubayy and to those who worshipped idols from al-Aws and al-Khazraj, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was at that time at Medina before the battle of Badr. (They wrote): You gave protection to our companion. We swear by Allah, you should fight him or expel him, or we shall come to you in full force, until we kill your fighters and appropriate your women. When this (news) reached Abdullah ibn Ubayy and those who were worshippers of idols, with him they gathered together to fight the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When this news reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he visited them and said: The threat of the Quraysh to you has reached its end. They cannot contrive a plot against you, greater than what you yourselves intended to harm you. Are you willing to fight your sons and brethren? When they heard this from the Prophet ﷺ, they scattered. This reached the infidels of the Quraysh. The infidels of the Quraysh again wrote (a letter) to the Jews after the battle of Badr: You are men of weapons and fortresses. You should fight our companion or we shall deal with you in a certain way. And nothing will come between us and the anklets of your women. When their letter reached the Prophet ﷺ, they gathered Banu an-Nadir to violate the treaty. They sent a message to the Prophet ﷺ: Come out to us with thirty men from your companions, and thirty rabbis will come out from us till we meet at a central place where they will hear you. If they testify to you and believe in you, we shall believe in you. The narrator then narrated the whole story. When the next day came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out in the morning with an army, and surrounded them. He told them: I swear by Allah, you will have no peace from me until you conclude a treaty with me. But they refused to conclude a treaty with him. He therefore fought them the same day. Next he attacked Banu Quraysh with an army in the morning, and left Banu an-Nadir. He asked them to sign a treaty and they signed it. He turned away from them and attacked Banu an-Nadir with an army. He fought with them until they agreed to expulsion. Banu an-Nadir were deported, and they took with them whatever their camels could carry, that is, their property, the doors of their houses, and their wood. Palm-trees were exclusively reserved for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Allah bestowed them upon him and gave them him as a special portion. He (Allah), the Exalted, said: What Allah has bestowed on His Apostle (and taken away) from them, for this ye made no expedition with either camel corps or cavalry." He said: "Without fighting." So the Prophet ﷺ gave most of it to the emigrants and divided it among them; and he divided some of it between two men from the helpers, who were needy, and he did not divide it among any of the helpers except those two. The rest of it survived as the sadaqah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ which is in the hands of the descendants of Fatimah (Allah be pleased with her).

I met Bilal, the Mu'adhdhin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Aleppo, and said: Bilal, tell me, what was the financial position of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: He had nothing. It was I who managed it on his behalf since the day Allah made him Prophet of Allah ﷺ until he died. When a Muslim man came to him and he found him naked, he ordered me (to clothe him). I would go, borrow (some money), and purchase a cloak for him. I would then clothe him and feed him. A man from the polytheists met me and said: I am well off, Bilal. Do not borrow money from anyone except me. So I did accordingly. One day when I performed ablution and stood up to make call to prayer, the same polytheist came along with a body of merchants. When he saw me, he said: O Abyssinian. I said: I am at your service. He met me with unpleasant looks and said harsh words to me. He asked me: Do you know how many days remain in the completion of this month? I replied: The time is near. He said: Only four days remain in the completion of this month. I shall then take that which is due from you (i.e. loan), and then shall return you to tend the sheep as you did before. I began to think in my mind what people think in their minds (on such occasions). When I offered the night prayer, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned to his family. I sought permission from him and he gave me permission. I said: Messenger of Allah, may my parents be sacrificed for you, the polytheist from whom I used to borrow money said to me such-and-such. Neither you nor I have anything to pay him for me, and he will disgrace me. So give me permission to run away to some of those tribes who have recently embraced Islam until Allah gives His Apostle ﷺ something with which he can pay (the debt) for me. So I came out and reached my house. I placed my sword, waterskin (or sheath), shoes and shield near my head. When dawn broke, I intended to be on my way. All of a sudden I saw a man running towards me and calling: Bilal, return to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So I went till I reached him. I found four mounts kneeling on the ground with loads on them. I sought permission. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: Be glad, Allah has made arrangements for the payment (of your debt). He then asked: Have you not seen the four mounts kneeling on the ground? I replied: Yes. He said: You may have these mounts and what they have on them. There are clothes and food on them, presented to me by the ruler of Fadak. Take them away and pay off your debt. I did so. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition. I then went to the mosque and found that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting there. I greeted him. He asked: What benefit did you have from your property? I replied: Allah Most High paid everything which was due from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Nothing remains now. He asked: Did anything remain (from that property)? I said: Yes. He said: Look, if you can give me some comfort from it, for I shall not visit any member of my family until you give me some comfort from it. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered the night prayer, he called me and said: What is the position of that which you had with you (i.e. property)? I said: I still have it, no one came to me. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed the night in the mosque. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. Next day when he offered the night prayer, he called me and asked: What is the position of that which you had (i.e. the rest of the property)? I replied: Allah has given you comfort from it, Messenger of Allah. He said: Allah is Most Great, and praised Allah, fearing lest he should die while it was with him. I then followed him until he came to his wives and greeted each one of them and finally he came to his place where he had to pass the night. This is all for which you asked me.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out in the year of al-Hudaibbiyyah with over ten hundreds of Companions and when he came to Dhu al Hulaifah. He garlanded and marked the sacrificial animals, and entered the sacred state of Umrah. He then went on with the tradition. The Prophet moved on and when he came to the mountain, pass by which one descends (to Mecca) to them, his riding-beast knelt down, and the people said twice: Go on, go on, al-Qaswa has become jaded. The Prophet (May peace be upon him) said: She has not become jaded and that is not a characteristic of hers, but He Who restrained the elephant has restrained her. He then said: By Him in Whose hand my soul is, they will not ask any me good thing by which they honor which God has made sacred without my giving them it. He then urged her and she leaped up and he turned aside from them, and stopped at the farthest side of al-Hudaibiyyah at a pool with little water. Meanwhile Budail bin Warqa al-Khuza’I came, and ‘Urwah bin Mas’ud joined him. He began to speak to the Prophet ﷺ. Whenever he spoke to the Prophet ﷺ, he caught his beard. Al Mughriah bin Shu’bah was standing beside the Prophet ﷺ.He had a sword with him, wearing a helmet. He (Al Mughriah) struck his (‘Urwah’s) hand with the lower end of his sheath, and said: Keep away your hand from his beard. ‘Urwah then raised his hand and asked: Who is this? They replied: Al-Mughirah bin Shu’bah. He said: O treacherous one! Did I not use my offices in your treachery? In pre-Islamic days Al-Mughirah bin Shu’bah accompanied some people and murdered them, and took their property. He then came (to the Prophet) and embraced Islam. The Prophet ﷺ said: As for Islam we accepted it, but as to the property, as it has been taken by treachery, we have no need of it. He went on with the tradition the Prophet ﷺ said: Write down: This is what Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, has decided. He then narrated the tradition. Suhail then said: And that a man will not come to you from us, even if he follows your religion, without you sending him back to us. When he finished drawing up the document, the Prophet ﷺ said to his Companions: Get up and sacrifice and then shave. Thereafter some believing women who were immigrants came. (Allah sent down: O yea who believe, when believing women come to you as emigrants). Allah most high forbade them to send them back, but ordered them to restore the dower. He then returned to Medina. Abu Basir a man from the Quraish (who was a Muslim), came to him. And they sent (two men) to look for him; so he handed him over to the two men. They took him away, and when they reached Dhu Al Hulaifah and alighted to eat some dates which they had, Abu Basir said to one of the men : I swear by Allah so-and-so, that I think this sword of yours is a fine one; the other drew the sword and said : Yes I have tried it. Abu Basir said: Let me look at it. He let him have it and he struck him till he died, whereupon the other fled and came to Medina, and running entered the mosque. The Prophet ( may peace be upon him) said: This man has seen something frightful. He said: I swear by Allah that my Companion has been killed, and im as good as dead. Abu Basir then arrived and said: Allah has fulfilled your covenant. You returned me to them, but Allah saved me from them. The Prophet ﷺ said: Woe to his mother, stirrer up of war! Would that he had someone (i.e. some kinsfolk). When he heard that he knew that he would send him back to them, so he went out and came to the seashore. Abu Jandal escaped and joined Abu Basir till a band of them collected.

Abu ʿAbdur-Rahman as-Sulami and Hibban bin ʿAtiyyah had a dispute. ʿAbdur-Rahman said to Hibban: I know what made your companion - meaning ʿAli ؓ - audacious. He said: What is it, may you be bereft of your father? He said. Something I heard ʿAli ؓ say. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me, az-Zubair and Abu Marthad on a mission, and we were all horsemen. He said: ʿGo to Rawdat Khakh, for there you will find a woman who has a letter with her from Hatib bin Abi Baltaʿah to the mushrikeen; bring it to me.ʿ So we went on our horses until we caught up with her where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had told us, travelling on a camel of hers. He [Hatib] had written to the people of Makkah, telling them about the march of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We said to her. Where is the letter you have with you? She said: I do not have any letter. We made her camel kneel down and searched her luggage for it, but we did not find anything. My two companions said: We do not see any letter with her, I said: You know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not tell a lie. Then I swore: By the One by whom oaths are sworn, you will give us the letter or we will remove your clothes. She stretched out her hand to her girdle, which was wrapped around her, and brought out the letter. I brought it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and they said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he has betrayed Allah and His Messenger and the believers; let me strike his neck. He said: ʿO Hatib, what made you do what you did?ʿ He said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, by Allah, it is not that I do not believe in Allah and His Messenger, but I wanted to do a favour for the people by means of which Allah might protect my family and my property, for every one of your Companions has some of his people there through whom Allah will protect his family and his property. He said: You have spoken the truth, do not say anything to him but good.ʿ ʻUmar said: O, Messenger of Allah, he betrayed Allah and His Messenger and the believers, let me strike his neck. He said. ʿls he not one of the people of Badr? How do you know? Perhaps Allah looked upon them and said. “Do what you like, for Paradise is guaranteed for you.ʻʼ ʻUmarʻs eyes filled with tears and he said: Allah, may He be exalted, and His Messenger know best.

[Machine] He said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Antichrist will emerge during a period of confusion in religion and ignorance in knowledge. He will have forty nights that are equivalent to one year, one night equivalent to a month, and one night equivalent to a week. The rest of his days will be like your days. He will have a donkey on which he will ride, its ear to its ear measuring forty cubits. He will say to the people, 'I am your Lord,' even though he is blind in one eye. Indeed, your Lord is not one-eyed, and it is written between his eyes that he is a disbeliever (Kafir). Every believer will read it, literate or illiterate. There will not be any water or well left except for the cities of Madinah and Makkah, which Allah has made forbidden for him. The angels will stand guarding their gates, and with him will be mountains of bread. The people will be in great distress, except those who follow him. With him, there will be two rivers. I know which is Paradise and which is Hell. Whoever is entered into the one named Paradise will actually be in Hell, and whoever is entered into the one named Hell will actually be in Paradise." He said, "Allah will send devils with him, who will speak to the people. With him, there will be a great trial. He will command the sky, and it will rain upon the people, and he will kill a person, then bring him back to life before the people's eyes. He will not have control over any people other than his own. He will say, 'O people, why don't you come out to the deceitful liar?' They will say, 'This is a genie man,' and they will set out towards him. Suddenly, they will find themselves with Jesus, the son of Mary. The prayer will be established, and it will be said to him, 'Come forward, O Spirit of Allah.' He will reply, 'Let your Imam come forward and lead you in prayer.' After performing the morning prayer, they will go towards the Antichrist. When the Antichrist sees Jesus, he will start melting like salt in water, and he will try to flee from him. Jesus will pursue and kill him until even a tree or a stone will call out, 'O Spirit of Allah, here is a Jew hiding behind me, so come and kill him.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spent ten years following the pilgrims in their dwellings during the pilgrimage season, at Majannah, at 'Ukaz, and in their dwellings in Mina. He would say, "Who will give me shelter? Who will assist me until I deliver the messages of my Lord, and paradise will be theirs?" He did not find anyone who would assist and shelter him. Even when a man would leave Muzdalifah or Yemen and come to their people, they would say, "Beware of the youth from Quraysh, he will lead you astray," while he walked among them and called them to Allah, pointing at them with his fingers. Until Allah sent us to him from Yathrib, a man came to him and believed in him, and he recited the Quran to him, then he returned to his family and they accepted Islam. Soon, there was no house in the dwellings of Yathrib except that it had a group of Muslims who openly displayed Islam. Then Allah completed His favor upon us, and we gathered together, seventy men from our community, and we said, "How long will the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be expelled in the mountains of Makkah and live in fear?" So we set out until we reached him during the pilgrimage season, and we made an appointment with the people of Aqabah. His uncle, Al-Abbas, said to him, "O nephew, I do not know who these people are who have come to you. I am familiar with the people of Yathrib, so we gathered with them, one man and two men. When Al-Abbas saw our faces, he said, 'These are unknown people, they are young.' We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, why should we swear allegiance to you?' He said, 'Swear allegiance to me on hearing and obeying, in times of both energy and laziness, in easy and difficult times, in promoting what is good and forbidding what is evil, and in defending me if I come to Yathrib, even if it means denying yourselves, your wives, and your children. Paradise will be yours.' So we gave him our pledge, and As'ad bin Zurarah, who was the youngest of the seventy, took his hand and said, 'By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, remove your hand from us. We will not abandon this pledge, nor will we revoke it.' So we went to him one by one, and each of us pledged allegiance to him on the terms of al-Abbas, and in return, he bestowed paradise upon us."

Rasūlullāh ﷺ mentioned: "... when Allah ﷻ revealed to ʿĪsá b. Maryam: 'I have already released servants from My servants (Yaʾjūj Maʾjūj) who you will not be able to fight, so take My salves for refuge to ˹mount˺ Ṭūr'. Then Allah ﷻ will send forth Yaʾjūj Maʾjūj, and they, as Allah ﷻ said: '...from every slope they will descend.' (Anbiyāʾ 21:96). Then ʿĪsá and his companions will implore Allah ﷻ, then He will send insects toward their necks, and they will turn into predator-prey (farsā) ˹and die˺ like the death of one person. ThenʿĪsá and his companions will get down ˹from mount Ṭur˺ and they will not find a place to stay on land except that it has been filled with a foul stench of their ˹rotting corpses˺. Then ʿĪsá and his companions will implore Allah ﷻ ˹again˺, then He will send forth birds with necks like thereof Bactrian camels (vultures?), and they will carry their ˹corpses˺ and throw them where Allah ﷻ wills." Ibn Jābir said, then Yazīd b. ʿAṭāʾ al-Saksakī narrated to me, from Kaʿb or other than him who said: "then they threw them in the ditch (abyss)". Ibn Jābir said: then I said, O Abū Zayd, and where is the ditch? He said: "Eastwardly..."

[Machine] On the authority of 'Amir, Abu 'Amir, or Abu Malik, that the Prophet ﷺ was sitting in a gathering with his companions when Gabriel came to him in a different form, appearing as a man from the Muslims. Gabriel greeted him and the Prophet ﷺ returned the greeting. Then Gabriel placed his hand on the Prophet's knee and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is Islam?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is to submit your face to Allah, to bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, to establish the prayer, give the obligatory charity (zakat)." Gabriel asked again, "So if I do this, have I become a Muslim?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." Then Gabriel asked, "What is faith?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is to believe in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Divine Books, the prophets, life after death, heaven, hell, and fate, both its good and bad." Gabriel asked again, "So if I do this, have I believed?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." Then Gabriel asked, "What is excellence (ihsan), O Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you do not see Him, then truly He sees you." Gabriel asked again, "So if I do this, have I excelled?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." And we heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ return to him, but we could not see the one speaking to him, nor could we hear his words. The questioner asked, "O Messenger of Allah, when is the Hour?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Glory be to Allah, it has five signs which only Allah knows: Allah possesses knowledge of the Hour, He sends down rain, He knows what is in the wombs, no soul knows what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul knows in which land it will die. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted." (Surah Luqman, 34) The questioner then said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you wish, I can inform you of two signs that will precede it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Inform me." The questioner said, "When you see a slave woman giving birth to her mistress, and when you see the barefooted, naked, impoverished shepherds competing in constructing tall buildings." The questioner asked, "And who are they, O Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "The Bedouins." Then he turned away, and when we did not see him on his way back, we said, "Glory be to Allah! This is Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion. The hand of Muhammad is in the hand of Gabriel, every time he came to him, I had not received any message except that I already knew it, except for this time."

[Machine] Narrated by 'Amir or Abu 'Amir, Abu Malik, that the Prophet ﷺ was sitting in a gathering with his companions when Jibril came to him in a form other than his usual shape and saluted him. The Prophet ﷺ returned the greeting and then Jibril placed his hand on the Prophet's knee and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is Islam?" He replied, "To testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish the prayer, to give the Zakat, to perform Hajj, and to fast in Ramadan." Jibril then asked him, "You have spoken the truth, so what is Iman (faith)?" He replied, "To believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in predestination and that every good and bad is from Allah." Jibril asked again, "You have spoken the truth, so what is Ihsan (perfection)?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "To worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion, then be aware that He sees you." Jibril continued to ask the Prophet ﷺ about the signs of the Day of Judgment until he asked, "When will the Hour be?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "The one being asked does not know more than the one asking. But I will inform you of its signs. When you see barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in the construction of tall buildings, that will be one of its signs. And when you see the hunched-backed, barefoot uncivilized Bedouins competing in building great structures, that will be one of its signs." Then he (Jibril) left. The Prophet ﷺ kept silent for a while and then said, "O Abu Huraira, did you mark or memorize everything?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, even I cannot memorize all this." Then Allah's Messenger ﷺ passed his hand over my chest and I felt its coolness in my chest, and I knew all that he had said.

[Machine] He said, "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, did not grant us victory in a place like He did on the Day of Uhud." We objected to that, and Ibn Abbas said, "Between me and the one who objected to that is the Book of Allah, the Blessed and Exalted. Indeed, Allah, the Almighty and Glorious, says on the Day of Uhud: 'Indeed, Allah had fulfilled for you His promise when you were killing them by His permission.'" [Surah Al-Imran, 3:152] Ibn Abbas said, "And the expression 'killing them' means fighting, 'until when you lost courage' [Surah Al-Imran, 3:152] until [His words], 'And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful to the believers.' [Surah Al-Imran, 3:152] This is referring to the archers, because the Prophet ﷺ stationed them in a certain place and said, 'Protect our backs. If you see us being killed, do not come to our aid, and if you see us winning and gaining spoils, do not join us.' So when the Prophet ﷺ gained spoils and permitted the troops of the polytheists, the archers started collecting the spoils. They entered the enemy camp, looting, while the ranks of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were united and had joined hands. But then when the archers separated from that unity, the cavalry attacked the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , striking one another and causing confusion. Many Muslims were killed, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions fought until the morning. Indeed, among the first killed among the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the standard bearers of the polytheists were seven or nine. The Muslims dispersed towards a nearby mountain, without reaching the cave, where the people said the askar (a type of plant) was growing. Satan cried out, 'Muhammad has been killed,' and he did not doubt that it was true. So we were in that state of uncertainty until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ emerged between As-Sa'dayn. We recognized him by the way he walked. We were overjoyed, as if nothing had afflicted us. He separated from us and said, 'Allah's anger has intensified against a people who smeared the face of His Messenger.' Then he said again, 'Allah, destroy them, for they can never overcome us.' Then Abu Sufyan called out from the foot of the mountain, 'Mount Hubal!' twice, referring to their idols. 'Where is the son of Abi Kabshah? Where is the son of Abi Quhafah? Where is the son of Al-Khattab?' Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, shall I respond to him?' He said, 'Yes.' When Umar said, 'Allah is the Most High and the Most Exalted,' Abu Sufyan said, 'We have certainly reached a day of defeat. When you are high in rank, we are in the fire.' Umar said, 'Indeed, you are mistaken. By Allah, we are victorious, and your army has suffered a loss.' Abu Sufyan said, 'You will find the same fate in your killing as mine. However, this was not from the opinion of our women.' Then he was overtaken by Jahiliyah ignorance, and he said, 'Indeed, that was the case, and we did not reject it.'"

I went out with 'Ubaidullah bin ʿAdi Al-Khaiyar. When we reached Hims (i.e. a town in Syria), 'Ubaidullah bin ʿAdi said (to me), "Would you like to see Wahshi so that we may ask him about the killing of Hamza?" I replied, "Yes." Wahshi used to live in Hims. We enquired about him and somebody said to us, "He is that in the shade of his palace, as if he were a full water skin." So we went up to him, and when we were at a short distance from him, we greeted him and he greeted us in return. 'Ubaidullah was wearing his turban and Wahshi could not see except his eyes and feet. 'Ubaidullah said, "O Wahshi! Do you know me?" Wahshi looked at him and then said, "No, by Allah! But I know that ʿAdi bin Al-Khiyar married a woman called Um Qital, the daughter of Abu Al-Is, and she delivered a boy for him at Mecca, and I looked for a wet nurse for that child. (Once) I carried that child along with his mother and then I handed him over to her, and your feet resemble that child's feet." Then 'Ubaidullah uncovered his face and said (to Wahshi), "Will you tell us (the story of) the killing of Hamza?" Wahshi replied "Yes, Hamza killed Tuaima bin ʿAdi bin Al-Khaiyar at Badr (battle) so my master, Jubair bin Mutʿim said to me, 'If you kill Hamza in revenge for my uncle, then you will be set free." When the people set out (for the battle of Uhud) in the year of 'Ainain ..'Ainain is a mountain near the mountain of Uhud, and between it and Uhud there is a valley.. I went out with the people for the battle. When the army aligned for the fight, Siba' came out and said, 'Is there any (Muslim) to accept my challenge to a duel?' Hamza bin ʿAbdul Muttalib came out and said, 'O Siba'. O Ibn Um Anmar, the one who circumcises other ladies! Do you challenge Allah and His Apostle?' Then Hamza attacked and killed him, causing him to be non-extant like the bygone yesterday. I hid myself under a rock, and when he (i.e. Hamza) came near me, I threw my spear at him, driving it into his umbilicus so that it came out through his buttocks, causing him to die. When all the people returned to Mecca, I too returned with them. I stayed in (Mecca) till Islam spread in it (i.e. Mecca). Then I left for Taif, and when the people (of Taif) sent their messengers to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I was told that the Prophet ﷺ did not harm the messengers; So I too went out with them till I reached Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When he saw me, he said, 'Are you Wahshi?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Was it you who killed Hamza?' I replied, 'What happened is what you have been told of.' He said, 'Can you hide your face from me?' So I went out when Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, and Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab appeared (claiming to be a prophet). I said, 'I will go out to Musailamah so that I may kill him, and make amends for killing Hamza. So I went out with the people (to fight Musailamah and his followers) and then famous events took place concerning that battle. Suddenly I saw a man (i.e. Musailamah) standing near a gap in a wall. He looked like an ash-colored camel and his hair was dishevelled. So I threw my spear at him, driving it into his chest in between his breasts till it passed out through his shoulders, and then an Ansari man attacked him and struck him on the head with a sword. ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar said, 'A slave girl on the roof of a house said: Alas! The chief of the believers (i.e. Musailamah) has been killed by a black slave." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4072)

[Machine] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave what he gave from those gifts to the Quraysh and the Arab tribes, the Ansar did not have anything from them. This concern started to occupy the hearts of some of the Ansar until the saying spread among them until some of them said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met his people and Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah entered upon him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, this concern has troubled the hearts of the Ansar indefinitely due to what you distributed of this booty among your people and gave your tribes great gifts, while the Ansar did not receive anything from it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "What about you, O Sa'd?" He replied, "O Messenger of Allah, I am just a man from my people. And who am I?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Gather your people for me in this courtyard." So Sa'd went out and gathered the Ansar in that courtyard. Then some of the Muhajireen entered and Sa'd left them, but when others came, he admitted them. When they had assembled, Sa'd came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "This concern has gathered the Ansar for you, O Messenger of Allah." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and praised Allah and lauded Him appropriately for what He had bestowed on them, then he said, "O Ansar, I was informed of your concern and I found it in your hearts and were you not misguided and then Allah guided you? Were you not destitute and then Allah enriched you? Were you not enemies and then Allah brought your hearts together?" They replied, "Indeed, by Allah and His Messenger!" He said, "Will you not then answer me, O Ansar?" They asked, "And what is it that we should say, O Messenger of Allah, when Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth?" He said, "I swear by Allah, if you had wished, you could have said so, and you would have told the truth and believed. You came to us as liars and we believed you, forsaken and we helped you, fugitive and we sheltered you, and poor and we enriched you. Did you not find in yourselves, O Ansar, a disposition towards this world that I made some people embrace Islam and entrusted you with it? Are you not pleased, O Ansar, that people take away livestock while you return with the Messenger of Allah in your camels? By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, if it were not for migration, I would surely be one of the Ansar. If the people were to take one path and the Ansar another, I would follow the path of the Ansar. O Allah, have mercy on the Ansar and the sons of the Ansar and the sons of the sons of the Ansar." The people began to cry until their tears wet their cheeks, and they said, "We are pleased with the Messenger of Allah's distribution and share." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ departed and the people dispersed."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , sent a reconnaissance mission and appointed 'Asim ibn Thabit, who was the grandfather of 'Asim ibn 'Umar, as their leader. They set out until they reached a place between 'Usfan and Makkah known as "Bani Lihyan". They followed their tracks with a group of about one hundred men led by Ramm, and they pursued them until they reached a resting place where they found dates that were provisions from Madinah. They said, "These are dates from Yathrib." They followed their tracks until they caught up with them. When 'Asim ibn Thabit and his companions sensed them, they sought refuge in a rugged place, and when the people approached them, they surrounded them and said, "We have made a covenant and agreement with you that if you come to us, we will not kill any of you." 'Asim ibn Thabit said, "As for me, I do not enter into a treaty with a disbeliever." They said, "Fight them." So they fought 'Asim and killed him along with seven others. Only Hubayb ibn 'Adi and Zayd ibn ad-Dathinah remained. They entered into a covenant and agreement with them. When they felt secure from them, they tied their hands with their own bowstrings. The third man with them said, "This is the first act of treachery. I refuse to accompany them." So they killed him. Then they departed with Hubayb ibn 'Adi and Zayd ibn ad-Dathinah until they sold them in Makkah. They sold Hubayb to the sons of Al-Harith ibn 'Amir ibn Nawfal, who had killed Al-Harith on the Day of Badr. Hubayb stayed with them as a prisoner until they decided to kill him. He borrowed a razor from the daughter of Al-Harith to prepare himself with it. She said, "I inadvertently failed to restrain my son from approaching it, and he fell upon it until it reached him." She said, "Have no fear that I will kill him. I wouldn't kill him. You will not find a better captive than Hubayb. I saw him eating ripe grapes when Makkah had no ripe fruits at that time. And he is bound in iron, but his sustenance is only provided by Allah." Then they took him out of the sanctuary to kill him. He asked them, "Allow me to pray two Rak'ahs." He prayed the two Rak'ahs, and then said, "If you did not see my eagerness to die, I would increase in it by the Will of Allah." Hubayb was the first to offer two Rak'ahs before being killed. Then 'Uqbah ibn Al-Harith went toward him and killed him. The people of Quraysh sent word to 'Asim to bring them a part of his body that they could recognize. He was a great man among their elite who had been killed on the Day of Badr. So Allah sent upon them a cloud from behind, shielding them from his messengers. They were unable to harm him in any way.

[Machine] The horses of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived, or he said, the messengers of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived, and I was near a scorpion, so they took my aunt and some people. They brought them to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he ordered them to line up for him. She said, "O Messenger of Allah, the newcomer went away and the baby is gone, and I am an old woman with no one to serve me. So who will show me kindness, as God has shown kindness to you?" He asked her, "Who is your neighbor?" She said, "Adi ibn Hatim." He said, "The one who has run away from God and His Messenger?" She said, "So who will show me kindness?" He said, "When he returned, a man came to him, and we could see that it was Ali. He said, 'Put her on a camel and he asked her.' So she went to him and said, 'You have done something that your father used to do.' He said, 'Did you visit him willingly or as a monastic?' She said, 'Such and such person came to him and got something from him, and such and such person came to him and got something from him.' He said, 'So I came to him, and there was a woman and children with him.' They mentioned their relationship to the Prophet ﷺ , so I knew that he did not have the dominion of Khusra or Caesar. He asked him, 'O Adi ibn Hatim, what has prevented you from saying there is no god but Allah? Is there any god but Allah? What has prevented you from saying Allah is the Greatest? Is there anything greater than Allah?' She said, 'So I have submitted and I saw his face light up, and he said, 'Indeed, the Jews are the ones who have earned wrath, and the Christians are the ones who have gone astray.' Then they asked him to praise Allah, and he praised Him and said, 'As for what follows, you people should submit yourself and lower yourselves from pride, as a person submits with a sa' of dates to another person with a handful of dates. Shu'bah said, 'My most knowledgeable opinion is that he said it is one date with a part of a date.' And verily, one of you will meet Allah, and yet he will say, 'What should I say?' Didn't I make you hearing and seeing? Didn't I give you wealth and children? What did you prepare?' So he will look in front of him, behind him, to his right and to his left, and he will not find anything. So the fire will not touch anyone except with his face. So fear the fire, even with a part of a date. And if you do not find that, then with a gentle word. Indeed, I do not fear poverty for you, for Allah will support you and give you victory, or He will open for you until the camels can walk between Al-Hirah and Yathrib. Indeed, what the thieving fears most is the loss of her property.' Muhammad ibn Ja'far said, 'I heard this from Shu'bah, and I recited it to him.'"

[Machine] A young man from the people of Kufa named Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman said, "O Abu Abdullah, did you see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and keep his company?" He replied, "Yes, O nephew of my brother." The young man asked, "How did you behave?" He replied, "By Allah, we exerted ourselves." The young man said, "By Allah, if we had reached him, we would not have left him even if he walked on the ground. We would have made him our leader." Hudhayfah then said, "By Allah, O nephew of my brother, I saw myself with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the Battle of the Trench. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed a nocturnal prayer and then turned towards us and said, 'Who among you will stand and see what the people are doing? Anyone who stands will be guaranteed Paradise by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' No one stood up. Then he prayed another nocturnal prayer and turned towards us again and said the same thing. No one stood up. Then he said, 'O Hudhayfah, go and enter among the people and see what they are doing, but do not inform them until you come back to us.' So I went and entered among the people, and the winds and the soldiers of Allah were doing what they were doing. They did not care about any possessions, fire, or building. Then Abu Sufyan ibn Harb stood up and said, 'O people of Quraysh, let someone among you look at his companion.' Hudhayfah said, 'I took the hand of the man who was beside me and said, 'Who are you?' He replied, 'I am so and so, the son of so and so.' Then Abu Sufyan said, 'O people of Quraysh, by Allah, you are not staying in a permanent dwelling. Al-Kurah has been destroyed and the Banu Qurayzah have betrayed us. We have received information that we dislike, and we are facing winds that make us uneasy. There is no security for us, nor is there a fire for us, nor is there a building that can withstand for us. So depart, for I am departing.' Then he stood by his camel and mounted it. The camel jumped three times and did not release its reins until it was standing. If it were not for the pledge of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that I should not inform anyone until I came back to him, and then do whatever I wished, I would have killed him with an arrow." Hudhayfah continued, "Then I returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who was praying while standing on a mat with the edges turned up. When he saw me, he took me to his resting place and threw a corner of the mat over me. Then he performed the bowing and prostration of his prayer while I was under the mat. When he finished, I informed him of the news. Ghatafan heard of what Quraysh had done and they returned to their lands."

[Machine] Al-Hadith (the narrator of the Hadith) reported that 'Ubadah said to Abu Hurayrah, "O Abu Hurayrah, you were not with us when we pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We pledged allegiance to him to hear and obey, whether it is easy or difficult, to spend in ease and hardship, to command what is good and forbid what is evil, to speak about Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, without fearing the blame of anyone, and to support the Prophet ﷺ when he came to Madinah, withholding from him what we withhold from ourselves, our wives, and children, and in return, Paradise is promised to us. This is the pledge of allegiance that we pledged to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Whoever breaks it, breaks it against himself, and whoever fulfills what he pledged to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fulfills it to Allah and his Prophet ﷺ."

Then Muawiyah wrote to 'Uthman ibn 'Affan, informing him that 'Ubadah ibn As-Samit has disrupted the people and their belongings in Ash-Sham (Syria). He then said to 'Uthman, "Either return 'Ubadah to you, or I will take action between him and Ash-Sham." So 'Uthman wrote to 'Ubadah, instructing him to return to Madinah. He sent 'Ubadah until he reached Madinah. He entered the house of 'Uthman, and there was no one in the house except a man from the Sahabah who had reached the people. 'Uthman was sitting in a corner of the house. He turned towards 'Ubadah and said, "O 'Ubadah ibn As-Samit, what is the matter between us and you?" 'Ubadah stood among the people and said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Al-Qasim Muhammad ﷺ, saying, 'After me there will be leaders who will order you to do what you know, but you will deny it, and they will forbid you from what you know, but you will acknowledge it. Therefore, do not obey those who disobey Allah, and do not dispute about your Lord."

[Machine] Abu Dharr was on his deathbed while wearing a simple garment. His wife cried, and he asked her why she was crying. She said, "I cry because I have no life without you, and I have no shroud that will fit you as a burial cloth." He comforted her, saying, "Do not cry, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say one day when I was with him, 'A man will die among you with just a piece of land as his witness, accompanied by a group of believers.' He continued, 'Everyone who was with me in that gathering has passed away, divided into different groups, and I am the only one left. I am going to die in this piece of land. Watch the road, for you will witness what I say. I swear by Allah, I have not lied or will ever lie.' She asked, 'How is that possible when the journey has been cut off?' He said, 'Watch the road.' While they were talking, a group of people approached, dragging their garments behind them as if they were flags. They asked, 'What is wrong with you?' She replied, 'There is a Muslim man who needs to be shrouded and buried, and whoever does so will be rewarded.' They asked, 'Who is he?' She said, 'Abu Dharr.' They paid the ransom with their fathers and mothers and put their belts on her back so she could find them. Abu Dharr said, 'Rejoice, for you are the people that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke about. Rejoice, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'No two Muslim women lose two of their children or three and then seek reward and patience, except they will never see Hell.' Today, I have reached the place where you can see, and if I had a garment that would fit me, I would not be shrouded but in that. I swear by Allah, let no man among you shroud me, whether he be a prince, a servant, or a soldier.' No one in the gathering received anything except a young man from the Ansar who was with the group. He said, 'I am your companion. I have two garments from my mother's dowry spin and I have these two garments on me.' Abu Dharr said, 'You are my companion. Shroud me with them.'"  

أَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ وَهُوَ بِالرَّبَذَةِ فَبَكَتْ امْرَأَتُهُ فَقَالَ مَا يُبْكِيكِ؟ قَالَتْ أَبْكِي أَنَّهُ لَا يَدَ لِي بِنَفْسِكَ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي ثَوْبٌ يَسَعُكَ كَفَنًا فَقَالَ لَا تَبْكِي فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَأَنَا عِنْدَهُ فِي نَفَرٍ يَقُولُ لَيَمُوتَنَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ يَشْهَدُهُ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ فَكُلُّ مَنْ كَانَ مَعِي فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَجْلِسِ مَاتَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ وَفُرْقَةٍ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ غَيْرِي وَقَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ بِالْفَلَاةِ أَمُوتُ فَرَاقِبِي الطَّرِيقَ فَإِنَّكِ سَوْفَ تَرَيْنَ مَا أَقُولُ فَإِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا كَذَبْتُ وَلَا كُذِبْتُ قَالَتْ وَأَنَّى ذَلِكَ وَقَدْ انْقَطَعَ الْحَاجُّ؟ قَالَ رَاقِبِي الطَّرِيقَ قَالَ فَبَيْنَا هِيَ كَذَلِكَ إِذَا هِيَ بِالْقَوْمِ تَخُدُّ بِهِمْ رَوَاحِلُهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمُ الرَّخَمُ فَأَقْبَلَ الْقَوْمُ حَتَّى وَقَفُوا عَلَيْهَا فَقَالُوا مَا لَكِ؟ قَالَتْ امْرُؤٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ تُكَفِّنُونَهُ وَتُؤْجَرُونَ فِيهِ قَالُوا وَمَنْ هُوَ؟ قَالَتْأَبُو ذَرٍّ فَفَدَوْهُ بِآبَائِهِمْ وَأُمَّهَاتِهِمْ وَوَضَعُوا سِيَاطَهُمْ فِي نُحُورِهَا يَبْتَدِرُونَهُ فَقَالَ أَبْشِرُوا أَنْتُمُ النَّفَرُ الَّذِينَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِيكُمْ مَا قَالَ أَبْشِرُوا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا مِنَ امْرَأَيْنِ مُسْلِمَيْنِ هَلَكَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَدَانِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٌ فَاحْتَسَبَا وَصَبَرَا فَيَرَيَانِ النَّارَ أَبَدًا ثُمَّ قَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ الْيَوْمَ حَيْثُ تَرَوْنَ وَلَوْ أَنَّ ثَوْبًا مِنْ ثِيَابِي يَسَعُنِي لَمْ أُكَفَّنْ إِلَّا فِيهِ فَأَنْشُدُكُمُ اللهَ أَنْ لَا يُكَفِّنَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ كَانَ أَمِيرًا أَوْ عَرِيفًا أَوْ بَرِيدًا فَكُلُّ الْقَوْمِ كَانَ قَدْ نَالَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا إِلَّا فَتًى مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ كَانَ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ قَالَ أَنَا صَاحِبُكَ ثَوْبَانِ فِي عَيْبَتِي مِنْ غَزْلِ أُمِّي وَأَجِدُ ثَوْبَيَّ هَذَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ عَلَيَّ قَالَ أَنْتَ صَاحِبِي فَكَفِّنِّي  

[Machine] 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.'

[Machine] When my affairs were mentioned and I was not aware of it, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and gave a sermon about me. He praised and thanked Allah (glory be to Him) for what He has bestowed upon me, then he said, "As for what comes after, inform the people that they have slandered my family and, by Allah, I have never known anything bad about them. They built my family and, by Allah, I have never known anything bad about them, nor has anyone ever entered my house without my presence. I have never been absent during any journey without them being with me." Then Sa'd bin Mu'adh stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall we strike their necks?" A man from the Bani Khazraj stood up, and Umm Hassaan bin Thabit, who was the wife of that man, said, "You lie! By Allah, if they were from the Aws, you would not want to strike their necks until there was fighting between the Aws and the Khazraj within the Masjid, and I do not know anything about them." When it was evening that day, I went out for some need, and Umm Misbah was with me. She stumbled, and she said, "May Misbah be ruined!" I said, "Why do you curse your son?" She remained silent. Then she stumbled again and said, "May Misbah be ruined!" I said, "Why do you curse your son?" Then she stumbled a third time and said, "May Misbah be ruined!" I scolded her and said, "Why do you curse your son?" She said, "By Allah, I only curse him because of you." I asked, "In what matter concerning me?" Then she informed me about the story. I said, "Did my father know about it?" She said, "Yes." I asked, "And the Messenger of Allah?" She said, "And the Messenger of Allah." I became overwhelmed and started crying. Abu Bakr heard my voice while he was on the roof reciting the Qur'an. He came down and said to my mother, "What's wrong with her?" She told him what had happened. He said, "I swear to you, O daughter, that if you had not returned to your house, I would have divorced her." So I went back to my house and my parents were with me. They stayed with me until after Asr prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me. My parents were on my right and left side. The Prophet ﷺ said the Shahada (testimony of faith) and praised and thanked Allah (glory be to Him) for what He has bestowed upon him. Then he said, "O Aisha, if you have committed a mistake or wronged, repent to Allah (glory be to Him). Verily, Allah (glory be to Him) accepts repentance from His servants." Then a woman from the Ansar came and sat at the door. I said to myself, "Doesn't she have any shame?"

[Machine] "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.'"

[Machine] "And about some of the companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, it is narrated: When the angels came out from Ibrahim, peace be upon him, towards the city of Lut and reached the river of Sodom, they met the daughter of Lut, who was fetching water for her family. Lut's daughters were two in number. They said to her, 'O girl, is there any house nearby? She replied, 'Yes, your place is not far, but do not enter until I bring you what you need.' Then she went to her father and said, 'O my father, there are young men standing at the gate of the city. I have never seen such beautiful faces before. Your people should not see them, as they may harm them. Your people have been forbidden from hosting anyone until they said, 'Give us your guests so that we can harass them.' Nobody here, except the household of Lut, knows where they are. His wife went out and informed her people, saying, 'Indeed, there are men inside Lut's house whose faces I have never seen before.' So, Lut's people hurried towards him. When they came to him, he said, 'O my people, fear Allah and do not disgrace me concerning my guests. Is there not among you a single reasonable man? These are my daughters, they are purer for you. So, fear Allah and do not humiliate me in front of my guests.' They said, 'You know that we have no right in your daughters, and indeed, you know what we want.' When they failed to persuade him, he said, 'If only I had power against you or could take refuge in a strong support.' Then Jibril extended his wings, covering the sight of their eyes, and they went out stumbling, unable to see one another. They were saying, 'This is their plan. Verily, in the house of Lut, there is magic.' This is the saying of Allah, the Almighty, 'And indeed, they sought to tempt him away from his guests, but We blinded their eyes.' And they said, 'O Lut, indeed, we are messengers of your Lord. They will never reach you, so travel with your family in the cover of the night, and let not any among you look back except your wife. Indeed, she will be struck by what strikes them. So, proceed as you are commanded.' Then Allah led them to safety towards the land of Shaam. Lut said, 'Destroying them will take only a moment.' They replied, 'We have not been commanded to destroy them except at the break of dawn. Is not the morning near?' When morning came, Lut and his family left, except for his wife. This is the saying of Allah, the Almighty, 'Except the family of Lut; We will save them all, except his wife, who will be among those who remain.'

[Machine] "Once, there was a Jewish man who lived in Makkah and engaged in trade there. On the night when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was born, he said in a gathering of Quraysh: 'O people of Quraysh, was a child born among you tonight?' They replied, 'By Allah, we do not know.' He said, 'Allah is the Greatest. If he is born to you, there is no harm. Look and remember what I am saying to you: The Prophet of this last Ummah was born this night. Between his shoulders, there is a sign that looks like parallel lines of hair, as if they are connected. It looks like a mark of a horse that does not suckle for two nights, because a jinn entered his mouth and prevented him from nursing. The people were left astounded by his words and speech. When they returned to their homes, they informed their families, saying, 'Surely Abdullah bin Abd al-Muttalib has been blessed with a boy, and they named him Muhammad.' The people gathered and said, 'Have you heard the story of the Jew? Has news of the birth of this boy reached you?' They then went to the Jew and informed him of the news. He said, 'Come with me so that I may see him.' They went with him until he entered upon Amina, and he said, 'Bring your child out to us.' She brought him out, and they uncovered his back, and he saw the mark. The Jew then fell unconscious. When he woke up, they said to him, 'What is wrong with you?' He said, 'By Allah, Prophethood has departed from the children of Israel. O people of Quraysh, you rejoice with him. By Allah, people will come from the east and the west, and his message will spread among them. On that day, there were people, including Hisham bin Al-Walid bin Al-Mughira, Musa'ab bin Abi 'Amr, 'Ubaydah bin Al-Harith bin Abd al-Muttalib, and 'Utba bin Rabiah, among others from the Quraysh, who were above the age of puberty."

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, passing by the market of Thul-Majaz while I was in a shop of mine. He passed by wearing a red garment, and I heard him saying, "O people, say there is no god but Allah, you will be successful." A man was following him and throwing stones at him, causing his ankle to bleed. The man was saying, "O people, do not listen to him, for he is a liar." I asked, "Who is this?" It was said, "A young boy from the Banu Abd al-Muttalib." When Allah revealed Islam, we left our retreat with our possessions, including a red camel, until we reached close to Madinah. As we were sitting, a man approached us wearing two white garments and greeted us. He asked, "Where are you from?" We replied, "From the retreat, and we have a red camel with us." He asked, "Are you selling me this camel?" We answered, "Yes." He then asked, "For how much?" We replied, "For such and such an amount of dates." He took them without counting, and grabbed the reins of the camel, riding away until he disappeared within the walls of Madinah. At that moment, some of us asked each other, "Do you know this man?" No one knew him. So, some people from the group said, "You are giving your camel to someone you do not know?" The camel's owner said, "Do not worry, for I have seen a man who would never betray us, and I have not seen anything more resembling the moon, next to him, on the night of the full moon." In the evening, a man came to us and greeted us, saying, "Peace be upon you, and may the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you. Are you the ones who came from the retreat?" We said, "Yes." He said, "I am the Messenger of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and he commands you to eat from these dates until you are satisfied and take (some) with you until you are full." We ate from the dates until we were full and took some with us until we were full. The next day, we arrived in Madinah and found the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, standing and delivering a sermon to the people from the pulpit. I heard him saying, "The hand that gives is better than the hand that takes, and you should start with those whom you support, your mother, your father, your sister, your brother, and the one who is nearest to you." Then, a man from the Ansar stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, these are the sons of Tha'laba bin Yarbua who killed so-and-so during the Jahiliyyah, so grant us revenge for our killed." The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, lifted his hands until I saw the whiteness of his armpits and said, "A mother should not be made to suffer for her child, nor a child made to suffer for his mother."  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِسُوقِ ذِي الْمَجَازِ وَأَنَا فِي بِيَاعَةٍ لِي فَمَرَّ وَعَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ حَمْرَاءُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ تُفْلِحُوا» وَرَجُلٌ يَتْبَعُهُ يَرْمِيهِ بِالْحِجَارَةِ قَدْ أَدْمَى كَعْبَهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَا تُطِيعُوا هَذَا فَإِنَّهُ كَذَّابٌ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَقِيلَ غُلَامٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَلَمَّا أَظْهَرَ اللَّهُ الْإِسْلَامَ خَرَجْنَا مِنَ الرَّبَذَةِ وَمَعَنَا ظَعِينَةٌ لَنَا حَتَّى نَزَلْنَا قَرِيبًا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ قُعُودًا إِذْ أَتَانَا رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ مِنْ أَيْنَ الْقَوْمُ؟ فَقُلْنَا مِنَ الرَّبَذَةِ وَمَعَنَا جَمَلٌ أَحْمَرُ فَقَالَ تَبِيعُونِي هَذَا الْجَمَلَ؟ فَقُلْنَا نَعَمْ فَقَالَ بِكَمْ؟ فَقُلْنَا بِكَذَا وَكَذَا صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ قَالَ أَخَذْتُهُ وَمَا اسْتَقْصَى فَأَخَذَ بِخِطَامِ الْجَمَلِ فَذَهَبَ بِهِ حَتَّى تَوَارَى فِي حِيطَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ تَعْرِفُونَ الرَّجُلَ؟ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَعْرِفُهُ فَلَامَ الْقَوْمُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا فَقَالُوا تُعْطُونَ جَمَلَكُمْ مَنْ لَا تَعْرِفُونَ؟ فَقَالَتِ الظَّعِينَةُ فَلَا تَلَاوَمُوا فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْنَا رَجُلًا لَا يَغْدِرُ بِكُمْ مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا أَشْبَهَ بِالْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ مِنْ وَجْهِهِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَشِيُّ أَتَانَا رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ أَأَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ جِئْتُمْ مِنَ الرَّبَذَةِ؟ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ أَنَا رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَيْكُمْ وَهُوَ «يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ هَذَا التَّمْرِ حَتَّى تَشْبَعُوا وَتَكْتَالُوا حَتَّى تَسْتَوْفُوا» فَأَكَلْنَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ حَتَّى شَبِعْنَا وَاكْتَلْنَا حَتَّى اسْتَوْفَيْنَا ثُمَّ قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَائِمٌ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ يَدُ الْمُعْطِي الْعُلْيَا وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ أُمَّكَ وَأَبَاكَ وَأُخْتَكَ وَأَخَاكَ وَأَدْنَاكَ أَدْنَاكَ وَثَمَّ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ يَرْبُوعَ الَّذِينَ قَتَلُوا فُلَانًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَخُذْ لَنَا بِثَأْرِنَا فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ فَقَالَ «لَا تَجْنِي أُمٌّ عَلَى وَلَدٍ لَا تَجْنِي أُمٌّ عَلَى وَلَدٍ»  

[Machine] Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ spent ten years following people in their homes during the season of Manazil, Muzdalifah, and 'Ukaz. He would ask, "Who will shelter me? Who will support me until I convey the messages of my Lord, and for him is Paradise?" Yet, he would find no one to support him or shelter him. And there would be a man who would leave from Egypt or Yemen to bring him back to his people, and they would warn him, "Beware of the young Quraishi boy who will tempt you." He would walk among their tents, calling them to Allah Almighty, and they would point at him with their fingers. Then Allah sent us from Yathrib (Medina), and the man from among us would meet him, believe in him, and teach him the Quran. He would then return to his people, and they would embrace Islam until there was not a single house among the houses of the Ansar without Muslims in it. We sent a message to Allah, and He allowed us to gather and meet. We said, "How long will the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be expelled in the mountains of Makkah and live in fear?" So we set out until we reached him in Muzdalifah during the pilgrimage season. We made an agreement with him at 'Aqabah, and his uncle, al-'Abbas, said to him, "O son of my brother, I do not know who these people who have come to you are. I have knowledge of the people of Yathrib, so we gathered with a man, and when al-'Abbas looked at our faces, he said, 'These are people we do not know. They are young men.' So we said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do we pledge allegiance to you on?' He said, 'Pledge allegiance to me on hearing and obeying, in times of energy and times of laziness, on spending in times of ease and times of hardship, on commanding good and forbidding evil, and on not blaming us for what we do in the name of Allah. Pledge allegiance to me on supporting me when I come to you, and withholding from what you withhold from yourselves, your wives, and your children. And for you is Paradise.' So we pledged allegiance to him, and Sa'd bin Zurarah, the youngest among the seventy, took his hand and said, 'O people of Yathrib, none of us withholds his hand from this pledge, and we will never quit it.' So we went to him, each man one by one, and he took our pledge to grant us Paradise."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I know what the Antichrist (Dajjal) has with him. He has two rivers, one fire that appears as blazing flames to anyone who sees it, and the other is water that appears white. So if any of you can find him, let him close his eyes and drink the water that appears as fire, for it is actually cool water. Beware of the other river, for it is the tribulation. Know that it is written between his eyes that he is a disbeliever, which can be read by those who can read and even those who cannot read. And know that one of his eyes is wiped over which a mark is left, and from that mark he will emerge towards the end of his affair on the outskirts of the Jordan River, near his house. He will awake and everyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day will be in the vicinity of the Jordan River. And know that he will kill one-third of the Muslims, defeat one-third, and leave one-third. The night will befall them, and some of the believers will say to others, 'What are you waiting for to join your brothers for the sake of pleasing your Lord? So whoever has extra food, let him feed his brother. Pray when dawn breaks and hurry in performing the prayer, then face your enemy.' When they stand for prayer, Jesus, the son of Mary, peace be upon him, will descend to lead them in prayer. After he finishes, he will say, 'This is how you should relieve yourselves from the enemy of Allah.' Abu Hazim said, 'He will melt like salt melts in water.' Abdullah ibn Amr said, 'He will vanish like salt dissolves in water.' Allah will give victory to the Muslims, and they will kill their enemies until even the rocks and the trees will call, 'O Abdullah, O slave of the Most Merciful, O Muslim, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.' So Allah will expose the Muslims, and they will break the cross, kill the swine, and abolish the jizya (tax on non-Muslims). While they are in this state, Allah will bring forth Gog and Magog. They will drink from the lake at the beginning, and the last of them will pass by it and say, 'We have defeated our enemies, here is a trace of water.' Then the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and his companions will follow them until they enter one of the cities in Palestine called Lud. They will say, 'We have defeated those on earth, let us fight those in the sky.' At that moment, Allah will send a disease upon them, opening up boils in their necks, and none of them will remain except that their stench will harm the Muslims. At that point, Jesus, peace be upon him, will call upon Allah, and Allah will send a wind that will throw them into the sea, all of them."

[Machine] From the hadith of Amr al-Hadrami, from the people of Homs, from Abu Umamah al-Bahili, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon to us one day, and the majority of his sermon was about mentioning the Dajjal. He informed us about him in detail until he finished his sermon. Then, on that day, he said: "Indeed, Allah the Exalted has not sent a prophet except that he warned his nation about the Dajjal. And I am the last of the prophets, and you are the last of the nations. Surely, he is among you, there is no doubt. If he appears while I am among you, then I am the guardian of every Muslim. And if he appears among you after me, then every individual is the guardian of themselves. And Allah is my Khalifah (Caliph) over every Muslim. He will emerge from the land situated between Iraq and Sham (Greater Syria), and will roam through the east and west. O servants of Allah, be steadfast. He will start by claiming to be a prophet, even though there is no prophet after me. Then, he will claim to be your Lord, even though you have not seen your Lord until you die. And it is written between his eyes that he is a disbeliever, and every believer will be able to read it. So, whoever among you meets him should recite the opening verses of Surat Al-Kahf (Chapter of the Cave) against him. He will have control over one soul from the descendants of Adam, and he will kill it and then bring it back to life. And he will not have control over another soul besides that. He will bring with him Paradise and Hell as part of his fitnah (trial), but his Paradise will be Hell, and his Hell will be Paradise. So, whoever is afflicted with his Hellfire, let him close his eyes and seek refuge with Allah, for it will become cool and peaceful for him, just as fire was cool and peaceful for Ibrahim (Abraham), peace be upon him. And whoever meets him while believing in him and affirming his truthfulness, then let him seek rain from him. For Allah will cause the sky to rain upon them from their own day, and the Earth will bring forth for them from its own day, and their livestock will return to them fully satisfied from their own day. It will be their greatest and fattest day. But whoever meets him while disbelieving in him and rejecting him, then let him seek dryness from him. For he will not have a single drop of rain to give, and he will curse them, so that they will not have a rider or a passenger, and his days will be forty days. One of his days will be like a year, one day will be like a month, one day will be like a week, and the rest of his days will be like ordinary days." Then he (the Prophet, ﷺ) said, "A man will be at the door of Al-Madinah, and he will reach the other end of the city before evening comes." They asked, "How should we pray, O Messenger of Allah, in those short days?" He said, "Estimate the time (according to the length of the day) and then pray as you would in the longer days."

[Machine] Abu Al-Tahir and Abu Al-Rabi' Al-Masri narrated to me that Abdullah ibn Wahb informed them that Abdur Rahman ibn Shuraih narrated from Rabi'ah ibn Saif Al Ma'afiri, who heard it from Ishaq ibn Abdullah, that Awf ibn Malik Al-Ashja'i visited the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم during a victorious battle. He greeted the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and said, "Congratulations, O Messenger of Allah. Allah has honored your victory, made your religion manifest, and caused the burden of war to be lifted with ease." The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم was in a dome made of adobe bricks, and he said, "Enter, O Awf." Awf asked, "Shall I enter wholly or partially?" The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Enter wholly." Awf said, "Indeed, the burdens of war will not be lifted until there come six events, the first of which will be my death." Awf wept, and the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Say 'one' and [then] 'two.' The first is the conquest of Jerusalem, the second is a trial that will occur among the people, like the scattering of sheep. The fourth is a trial that will occur among the people, where no household will remain except that their share of it will come to them. The fifth is the birth of a boy from the offspring of the kings who will grow rapidly, reaching maturity in a day like how an infant grows in a week, and how an infant grows in a month, and how an infant grows in a year. When he turns twelve, they will make him their king. He will stand among them and say, 'For how long will these people continue to oppress us and invade our lands?' I have resolved to go forth and drive them out from our lands." The preachers then stood up and expressed their agreement with him. He then sent to Algeria and the desert to construct ships, and he filled them with fighters until he arrived between Antioch and Al Arish. Ibn Shuraih said, "I heard someone say that there will be twelve goals under each goal there will be twelve thousand, and the Muslims will unite and gather with their leader in Jerusalem. They agreed to march to the city of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم while carrying their weapons in Sarih and Khaybar. Ibn Abi Ja'far said that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, 'They will drive my Ummah out of the boundaries of Sham.' Or Al-Harith ibn Yazid said, 'They will settle there, and then one third of them will flee, one third of them will be killed, and Allah Almighty will make the remaining one third victorious through their patience.' Khalid ibn Yazid said, 'On that day, he will strike with his sword, and he will pierce them with his spear, and the Muslims will follow him until they reach the Strait of Constantinople. They will find it dry, so they will cross over to the city. Allah will demolish their walls through the takbir, and they will enter it and distribute their wealth through the ammaded chests.' Abu Qabil Al-Ma'afiri said, 'As they were doing that, a rider came to them and said, "You are here, but the Dajjal has already deceived your families." This was, in fact, falsehood. Whoever heard the scholars concerning this matter took the right path, but others scattered. Meanwhile, the Muslims started building mosques in Constantinople and continued fighting until the Dajjal emerged for the sixth time.

[Machine] "He, Ali, O Amr, you had made a pact with Allah on behalf of Quraysh that no man should invite another man except for one of the two shall be accepted. And so, Amr said, 'Yes.' Then Ali said to him, 'Verily, I invite you to Allah, the Almighty, and to His Messenger ﷺ and to Islam.' Amr replied, 'I have no need for that.' Ali then said, 'Indeed, I invite you to combat.' Amr said, 'O my nephew, why?' Ali replied, 'By Allah, I do not wish to kill you, but I wish for you to kill me.' So Amr became furious and charged at Ali with his horse, but Ali struck the horse and killed it. Amr then approached Ali and said, 'Who will duel with me?' Ali stood up, with his face covered in armor, and said, 'I am the one, O Prophet of Allah.' The Prophet ﷺ allowed him and Ali went towards him saying, 'Do not rush, for there has come to you an answer. Your voice is not weak, and you are knowledgeable and perceptive. And truth is the salvation for every victor. I do hope to avenge upon you a blow that would remain remembered. Amr asked, 'Who are you?' Ali replied, 'I am Ali.' Amr asked, 'The son of whom?' Ali said, 'I am Ali ibn Abi Talib.' Amr then said, 'You have with you, O my nephew, some of your maternal uncles who are better than you. Leave and I do not wish to shed your blood.' Ali replied, 'By Allah, I do not mind shedding your blood.' So Amr became angry, dismounted from his horse, and drew his sword as if it were a flaming torch. He approached Ali in anger, while Ali faced him with his shield. Amr struck at Ali's shield but it fell and remained stuck with his sword. He struck at Ali's head, cutting through it, and Ali struck him on the neck, causing him to fall down. The infidels then made a commotion and the Prophet ﷺ heard the takbeer (Allahu Akbar) and knew that Ali had killed him. Ali then said, 'I am certain that the cavalry will attack in the same manner as I and they will delay my companions today. I am determined and vigilant in my resolve, with no other comrade but Ibn Abd. When I approached him, I swore and summoned them to listen to my recitation from the Book. I am indeed truthful, for I affirm those who exclaim righteousness, two men who strike all opponents. I have with me, a stick between branches, an uncomplaining trunk, tainted by his thoughtlessness. And I worship the Lord of Muhammad, with correctness. Ali then turned towards the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a beaming face. Umar ibn Khattab said to him, 'Why don't you take his armor? For there is no better armor for the Arabs than that.' Ali replied, 'I struck him, fearing him and being shy of my cousin, to take his armor. I left his horses defeated until they were thrown into the trench.'

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions continued on the year of the conquest until they reached Marr Al-Zuhra with ten thousand Muslims. Sulaym and Muzaynah were there, and in every tribe there was a number of people who had embraced Islam. The Muhajirun (emigrants) and the Ansar (helpers) were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and none of them stayed behind. The news about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became unknown to the Quraysh, and they did not receive any information about what he was doing. Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith and Abdullah ibn Abi Umayyah ibn al-Mughirah met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Thaniyyat al-Aqabah on the way from Makkah to Madinah, and they sought permission to enter. Umm Salamah spoke to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is your cousin, the son of your aunt, and your son-in-law." He replied, "I have no need for them. As for my cousin, he has violated my honour, and as for my aunt's son and my son-in-law, he was the one who said to me in Makkah what he said." When the news reached them, Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith had a son who said, "By Allah, the Messenger of Allah will either give permission for me, or I will take his son by the hand, and we will go away and die of thirst or hunger." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard about this, he sent for them, and they entered upon him. Abu Sufyan began reciting poetry about his Islam and his apology for what had happened in the past. He said, "By your life, on the day I carry a flag, the horses of al-Lat will defeat the horses of Muhammad, even if the dark night lasts long. This is the time for truth to guide and direct me. So tell Ta'if that I do not seek to fight them, and tell Ta'if that I am ready for them, guided by someone other than myself, who has guided me to Allah. I will flee quickly and strive to fight against Muhammad, even if I am not related to him. They are a group of people who do not follow their desires, even if they are intelligent and logical." He continued, "I desire for them to be pleased with me, and I will not leave them until I have been guided in every sitting. I was not in the army that gained victory, nor did my tongue bring any good, nor did my hands touch any tribe that came from distant lands, with arrows and swords. Indeed, the one you expelled and insulted will strive hard to seek revenge, not restrained by custom." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard Abu Sufyan recite poetry about himself, he struck him in the chest and said, "You are the one who expelled and insulted me." Ibn Ishaq mentioned, "The mother of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died while she was visiting her relatives from the Banu Najjar tribe."

[Machine] From Abu Rafi, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: I was a young boy under the guardianship of Al-Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib, and I had embraced Islam, and so had the mother of Al-Fadl and Al-Abbas. Al-Abbas had concealed his Islam out of fear from his people, and Abu Lahab had withdrawn from the battle of Badr and sent Al-'As bin Hisham in his place. Al-'As had a debt to Al-Abbas, so he said to him, "Settle my debt for me and I will fight in this battle on your behalf." So Al-Abbas agreed and settled his debt. When the news of the battle reached us, Allah disgraced Abu Lahab. I was a weak man who used to carve arrowheads in a room, and by Allah, I was sitting in that room carving arrowheads while Umm Al-Fadl was with me. Suddenly, I saw Abu Lahab dragging his feet near the door of the room, and his back was towards me. The people said, "This is Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith." Abu Lahab said to him, "Come here, O son of my brother." So Abu Sufyan went and sat with him. When the people saw them, they gathered around them. Abu Lahab asked Abu Sufyan, "How did things go with the people?" Abu Sufyan replied, "Nothing, By Allah, if we had met them and they attacked us, they would have killed us as they pleased and captured us as they pleased. By Allah, I have not seen people with white garments on fast horses like them. By Allah, no one could stand against them." Then, I lifted up the door of the room and said, "By Allah, those were angels." Abu Lahab raised his hand and struck me on the face, causing my nose to bleed. He then threw me to the ground, hitting me until I fell down. Umm Al-Fadl stood up and seized him, taking hold of a pillar in the room and struck him with it, causing him to bleed from the head, and she said, "O enemy of Allah, you have weakened him. If you have seen his master absent, he would have stood up humiliated. By Allah, he did not live for more than seven nights until Allah struck him with a swelling, and he died. He left his two sons for two or three nights without burying him until you (Quraysh) did." Then a man from Quraysh said to his two sons, "Are you not ashamed that your father's body is in his house?" They replied, "We fear this wound." Quraysh used to fear this swelling just as they feared the plague. The man said, "I will go with you." They said, "By Allah, they did not wash him except by pouring water on him from a distance. Then they carried him to the highest point in Makkah and threw him over the wall, and then they stoned him." Adh-Dhahabi remained silent about this in his summary.

[Machine] We, the family of Al-Abbas, embraced Islam and kept our Islam hidden. I was a servant to Al-Abbas, carving cups and utensils. When the Quraysh marched towards the Messenger of Allah on the day of Badr, we anticipated news. The messenger of Allah came and gave us the guarantee of safety through the Khazai'i. We found strength within ourselves and were delighted by the news of the appearance of the Messenger of Allah. By Allah, I was sitting near Zamzam carving cups, and with me was Umm al-Fadl, and we were pleased with the news that came to us about the appearance of the Messenger of Allah. We were informed about the messenger of Allah when the wicked Abu Lahab approached, dragging his legs. Allah humiliated and disgraced him for what he received of the news. He sat on the doorstep and the people gathered around him. Abu Lahab said to him, "Come to me, O son of my brother," and he sat between his hands. He asked him about people and he replied, "Yes, by Allah, if we meet people and give them our support, they put their weapons wherever they wished. But the people we met were men riding on fast horses. By Allah, nothing remained." I raised the doorstep and said, "Those are the angels, by Allah." Abu Lahab raised his hand and struck my face, delivering a blow that blemished me. Umm al-Fadl approached a tent pole from the columns of the tent, grabbed it, said, "You humiliated him, even if his master is absent," and struck him on the head, causing him pain and leaving a mark. He then dragged his legs and was afflicted by an ophthalmia that Allah cast upon him. By Allah, he did not live for more than seven days until he died. His sons left him in his house for three days until he began to decompose. Quraysh feared that ophthalmia and avoided touching his body. A man from Quraysh said to them, "Shame on you, don't you feel ashamed? Your father has decomposed in his house, and you don't bury him." They replied, "We fear the contagion of this wound." The man said, "Go, I will help you." By Allah, they did not wash him except by throwing water from a distance, never approaching him. Then they carried him to the top of Makkah and leaned him against a wall, then stoned him.

[Machine] From his father Rifaa'ah ibn Rafee', who witnessed the Battle of Badr with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : He (the Prophet) and his cousin Mu'adh ibn 'Afra'ah went out until they reached Makkah. When they descended from Thaniyyah, they saw a man under a tree. The Prophet said, "Let us approach this man, so that we may entrust him with our belongings and make Tawaf around the Kaaba." We greeted him with the pre-Islamic form of greeting and he responded to us with the Islamic greeting. We had heard of the Prophet ﷺ , so we denied it and asked him, "Who are you?" He said, "Come down." We descended and said, "Where is the man who claims and says what he says?" He said, "I am him." So I said, "Present yourself to me." He presented Islam to us and said, "Who created the heavens, the earth, and the mountains?" We said, "Allah created them." He said, "Then who created you?" We said, "Allah created us." He said, "Then who created these idols that you worship?" We said, "We made them ourselves." He said, "The Creator is more deserving of worship than the created. You are more deserving of being worshiped, as you made them, but Allah is more deserving of being worshiped than something you made." I invite you to worship Allah alone, testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I am the Messenger of Allah. I also invite you to maintain kinship ties and refrain from oppression and transgression." We said, "By Allah, if what you are calling us to is false, then it would be among the noblest of matters and the best of characters." So we entrusted him with our belongings until we could go to the Kaaba. Mu'adh ibn 'Afra'ah sat with him and said, "I went to the Kaaba, performed Tawaf, and came out with seven cups. I gave him one of them and said, 'O Allah, if what Muhammad is calling to is true, then remove his cup seven times.'" He struck it seven times and each time, it emitted a sound. So I shouted, 'I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.' People gathered around me saying, 'This man is insane, he struck the cup seven times and it still made a sound.' I said, 'No, by Allah, he is a believer.' Then I went up to a high place in Makkah, and when Mu'adh saw me, he said, 'Indeed, Rifaa'ah has come with a face that nothing has ever harmed before.' So I came to him, believed in him, and Allah's Messenger ﷺ taught us Surah Yusuf. We recited, "In the name of your Lord who created" until we reached the verse, "We will return to our family." When we were in 'Aqiq, Mu'adh said, 'I have never spent a night away from my family before, so let me stay here until morning.' So I spent the night with him and I had never done what I did before. Rifaa'ah would always present himself to his people after returning from a journey.

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Madinah after leaving Ta'if, Bujair Ibn Zuhair Ibn Abi Salma wrote a letter to his brother Ka'b Ibn Zuhair Ibn Abi Salma informing him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had killed some men in Makkah who used to insult and harm him. He also mentioned that the remaining poets of Quraysh, Ibn Al-Ziba'ra and Hubayrah Ibn Abi Wahb, had fled in every direction. He advised Ka'b to seek forgiveness from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ if he had any need, as the Messenger would not kill anyone who came to him repentant. If he did not do so, he should flee for his own safety. Ka'b responded to his brother's message with a poem in which he praised the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and expressed his fear for his own life. It is mentioned that Ka'b showed this poem to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and it became well-known. Ka'b then left until he reached Madinah, where he stayed with a man who had a connection with him from Juhayna tribe. The next morning, he went with this man to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he was praying Fajr (before sunrise). Ka'b prayed with the people and then the man pointed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Approach him and seek his safety." The man later told Ka'b that he had approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and placed his hand in His hand, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not recognize him. Ka'b said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am Ka'b Ibn Zuhair, who has come to you seeking safety and repentance. Would you accept it from me if I bring him to you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Yes." Ka'b then said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am Ka'b Ibn Zuhair."

[Machine] Sumurah, while I was a young boy from the Ansar, we were throwing objects for ourselves during the time of the Prophet ﷺ. When the sun reached the height of two or three lances above the horizon, it became darkened and shone like a firefly. One of us said to his companion, "Let's go to the mosque, and I swear by Allah that this matter of the sun will be mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in his Ummah." So we went to the mosque, and we found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing among the people. He came forward and led us in prayer, the longest prayer he ever prayed with us, in which we could not even hear his voice. Then he performed ruku (bowing) with us, the longest ruku he ever performed with us, in which we could not hear his voice. Then he performed sujud (prostration) with us, the longest sujud he ever performed with us, in which we could not hear his voice. Then he did the same in the second raka'ah, and when the sun reappeared during the second raka'ah, he sat down. Then he said, "O people, indeed I am only a human being and the Messenger of Allah. But I remind you of Allah, if you know that I have not conveyed any of the messages of my Lord, which you informed me of, until I convey them as they should be conveyed. And if you know that I have conveyed the messages of my Lord, which you informed me of." Then the people stood up and said, "We bear witness that you have conveyed the messages of your Lord and advised your Ummah, and you have fulfilled what is upon you." Then they fell silent, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for what follows, there are men who claim that the eclipse of this sun, the eclipse of this moon, and the disappearance of these stars from their stations cause the death of great men from the people of the earth. Indeed, they are liars, but they are signs from the signs of Allah by which He tests His servants. Let the one among them who will repent come forward." By Allah, since I started praying, I have not met any of you in your current worldly and hereafter conditions. And by Allah, the Hour will not be established until thirty liars will appear, the last of them being the lame Dajjal. He will have a deformed eye like the eye of Abi Yahya, a sheikh from the Ansar. And when he appears, he will claim that he is Allah. Whoever believes in him, verifies his claim, and follows him, then none of his past deeds will benefit him. And whoever denies him and rejects him, then none of his past deeds will harm him. Indeed, he will appear on the entire earth except for the Haram and Bayt al-Maqdis. And indeed, he will besiege the believers in Bayt al-Maqdis, and they will shake violently. Then Jesus, the son of Mary, will descend among them, and Allah will defeat him and his soldiers, to the extent that the black stone will call out, "O believer! This is a disbeliever hiding behind me, so come and kill him." He said, "But that will not happen until you see matters becoming widespread and severe. You will ask each other, 'Did your Prophet ﷺ mention anything about this?' And until mountains move from their places and continue to move until the seizing (of souls) comes. He pointed with his hand, and he said, "Then he delivered another sermon, in which he mentioned what he mentioned before and did not delay it or precede it."

[Machine] He said, "The Prophet ﷺ was not supported in any place as he was on the day of Uhud." He said, "We denied that, so Ibn Abbas said, 'Between me and whoever denied that is the Book of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious.' Indeed, Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, says about the day of Uhud, 'And Allah had certainly fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing the enemy by His permission.'" [Surah Al Imran, 152]. Ibn Abbas says that "killing" here means fighting. He also says, "Until when you lost courage and fell to disputing about the matter and disobeyed after He had shown you that which you love. Among you are some who desire this world, and among you are some who desire the Hereafter. Then He turned you back from them [defeated] that He might test you. And He has already forgiven you. And Allah is full of bounty to the believers." [Surah Al Imran, 152]. He meant by this the archers, for the Prophet ﷺ stationed them in a specific place and then said, 'Protect our backs. If you see us being killed, do not come to our aid, and if you see us gaining booty, do not partake in it.' So when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gained booty and made permissible the property of the polytheists, the archers uncovered themselves and entered into the booty, holding one another's fingers. They were surprised by the polytheists who began to attack the Muslims, resulting in the death of many Muslims. The Prophet ﷺ and his companions fought until seven or nine of the leaders of the polytheists were killed. The Muslims fought by the mountain and did not reach where people said the battle took place, as it was beneath the Hudaybiyya. Shaytan shouted, 'Muhammad is killed,' and they did not suspect that it was true until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ emerged among them, walking in a state of apprehension. When he saw him, they recognized him by the way he walked. This brought them great joy, as though nothing had befallen them. He then moved away from them, saying, 'The anger of Allah has increased upon a people who killed their Prophet.' He said again, 'O Allah, surely they cannot overpower us.' Then Abu Sufyan shouted from the bottom of the mountain, 'O Hubal, O Hubal, where is the son of Abu Kabsha, where is the son of Abu Quhafa, where is the son of Al-Khattab?' Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, should I answer him?' He said, 'Yes.' So when Abu Sufyan shouted, 'O Hubal,' Umar said, 'Allah is the Most High and the Most Great.' Abu Sufyan said, 'The day of Badr was a day of mutual hostility and fighting.' Umar said, 'It is not the same, our dead are in Paradise while your dead are in the Fire.' Abu Sufyan said, 'Indeed, you will find in your dead a similar number. However, that was not according to our plan.' Then he encountered the zeal of ignorance and said, 'If that is the case, then we did not like it.'"  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَا نُصِرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي مَوْطِنٍ كَمَا نُصِرَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ قَالَ فَأَنْكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ مَنْ أَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ ﷻ إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ يَقُولُ فِي يَوْمِ أُحُدٍ {وَلَقَدْ صَدَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ إِذْ تَحُسُّونَهُمْ بِإِذْنِهِ} [آل عمران 152] يَقُولُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَالْحِسُّ الْقَتْلُ {حَتَّى إِذَا فَشِلْتُمْ وَتَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي الْأَمْرِ وَعَصَيْتُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا أَرَاكُمْ مَا تُحِبُّونَ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُرِيدُ الدُّنْيَا وَمِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُرِيدُ الْآخِرَةَ ثُمَّ صَرَفَكُمْ عَنْهُمْ لِيَبْتَلِيَكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَفَا عَنْكُمْ وَاللَّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} [آل عمران 152] وَإِنَّمَا عَنَى بِهَذَا الرُّمَاةَ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَقَامَهُمْ فِي مَوْضِعٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «احْمُوا ظُهُورَنَا فَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمُونَا نُقْتَلُ فَلَا تَنْصُرُونَا وَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمُونَا قَدْ غَنِمْنَا فَلَا تَشْرَكُونَا» فَلَمَّا غَنَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبَاحُوا عَسْكَرَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ انْكَشَفَ الرُّمَاةُ جَمِيعًا فَدَخَلُوا فِي الْعَسْكَرِ يَنْتَهِبُونَ وَقَدِ الْتَقَتْ صُفُوفُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَهُمْ هَكَذَا وَشَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِ يَدَيْهِ وَالْتَبَسُوا فَلَمَّا أَخَلَّ الرُّمَاةُ تِلْكَ الْخَلَّةَ الَّتِي كَانُوا فِيهَا دَخَلَ الْخَيْلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَضَرَبَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا وَالْتَبَسُوا وَقُتِلَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ نَاسٌ كَثِيرٌ وَقَدْ كَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ أَوَّلُ النَّهَارِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ لِوَاءِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ سَبْعَةٌ أَوْ تِسْعَةٌ وَجَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ جَوْلَةً نَحْوَ الْجَبَلِ وَلَمْ يَبْلُغُوا حَيْثُ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ الْغَابَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ تَحْتَ الْمِهْرَاسِ وَصَاحَ الشَّيْطَانُ قُتِلَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَلَمْ يَشُكُّوا فِيهِ أَنَّهُ حَقٌّ فَمَا زِلْنَا كَذَلِكَ مَا نَشُكُّ أَنَّهُ قُتِلَ حَتَّى طَلَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ السَّعْدَيْنِ فَعَرَفْنَاهُ بِتَكَفُّئِهِ إِذَا مَشَى قَالَ فَفَرِحْنَا حَتَّى كَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُصِبْنَا مَا أَصَابَنَا قَالَ فَرَقِيَ نَحْوَنَا وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «أَشْتَدُّ غَضَبُ اللَّهِ عَلَى قَوْمٍ دَمَّوْا وَجْهَ نَبِيِّهِمْ» قَالَ وَيَقُولُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى «اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَعْلُونَا» حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَيْنَا قَالَ فَمَكَثَ سَاعَةً فَإِذَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَصِيحُ فِي أَسْفَلِ الْجَبَلِ اعْلُ هُبَلُ اعْلُ هُبَلُ يَعْنِي آلِهَتَهُ أَيْنَ ابْنُ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا أُجِيبُهُ؟ قَالَ «بَلَى» فَلَمَّا قَالَ اعْلُ هُبَلُ قَالَ عُمَرُ اللَّهُ أَعْلَى وَأَجَلُّ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ إِنَّهُ يَوْمُ الصَّمْتِ فَعَادَ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهَذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَهَا أَنَا ذَا عُمَرُ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَوْمٌ بِيَوْمِ بَدْرٍ الْأَيَّامُ دُوَلٌ وَالْحَرْبُ سِجَالٌ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لَا سَوَاءَ قَتْلَانَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَقَتْلَاكُمْ فِي النَّارِ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ لَتَزْعُمُونَ ذَلِكَ لَقَدْ خِبْنَا إِذًا وَخَسِرْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ سَوْفَ تَجِدُونَ فِي قَتْلَاكُمْ مُثْلَةً وَلَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ عَنْ رَأْي سَرَاتِنَا ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَتْهُ حَمِيَّةُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ نَكْرَهْهُ  

[Machine] He gathered them all that day, and it was nothing but existence until the Day of Resurrection. Then He made them souls, then formed them and gave them the power of speech. And He took from them the covenant and the pledge, and He made them testify upon themselves, "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we testify." [This] lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were unaware of this." Or [lest] you say, "It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?" [Allah] said, "I swear by Myself, and I bear witness on you all the heavens and the earths, and I bear witness upon your father Adam, 'Am I not your Lord?' They said, 'Yes, we testify.' [This] lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, 'Indeed, we were unaware of this.' Or lest you should say, 'It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?' He said, "Indeed, I bear witness over all of you that I am free from whatever you associate with Me. Indeed, the Messengers will come to you with My reminders and My covenant, and they will present My Books to you." They said, "We bear witness that You are our Lord and our God. You have no Lord besides You, and we have no god besides You." And their father Adam raised them, so He looked at them, and He saw richness and poverty, beauty and otherwise. He said, "My Lord, if You had balanced Your servants." He said, "I love to return the gratitude." And among them were seen prophets like bright lamps. They were given a separate covenant in regards to Prophet-hood and Messengership. This is the saying of Allah, the Exalted, "[And mention] when We took from the prophets their covenant and from you and from Noah." (33:7) And His saying, "So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah." (30:30) And His saying, "This is a warner of the warners of old." (53:56) And His saying, "And We had not found for most of them any covenant, but indeed, We found most of them defiantly disobedient." (7:102) And His saying, "Then We sent following their footsteps Our messengers and followed [them] with Jesus, the son of Mary, and gave him the Gospel. And We placed in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy and monasticism, which they innovated; We did not prescribe it for them except that they did so seeking the approval of Allah." So they did not observe it with due observance. (57:27) He knew in His knowledge those who would deny what He would affirm and those who would affirm what He would deny. So the soul of 'Isa was among those souls to which the covenant was taken in the time of Adam. And that soul was then sent to Maryam when He said, "Settle in a place of worship wherein the sun does not rise, and you take a veil from them." So We sent to her Our soul, and it manifested to her in the form of a well-built man. (19:17) Until His saying, "A determined appointment." (19:21) She conceived. He, who spoke to her, was the soul of 'Isa, peace be upon him. Abu Ja'far narrated to me that Ar-Rabi' bin Anas narrated to him from Abu Al-'Aliyah from Ubayy bin Ka'b who said, "He entered it."

[Machine] We went to a funeral in the Bab Dimashq area, and with us was Abu Umamah al-Bahili. When he prayed upon the deceased and they began burying him, Abu Umamah said, "O people, you have entered a house in which you share in good deeds and bad deeds, and soon you will leave it for another abode. This indicates the grave, the house of solitude, darkness, worms, and narrowness, except for what Allah expands. Then you will move from it to the stations of the Day of Resurrection. You will be in some of these stations until a matter from the matters of Allah covers the people. Faces will turn bright and faces will turn dark, and then you will move to another house where intense darkness covers the people. Then the light will be divided, and the believer will receive light while the disbeliever and the hypocrite will not receive anything. This is a similitude that Allah, the Most High, has given in His Book, "Or like darknesses within an unfathomable sea which is covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds - darknesses, some of them upon others. When one puts out his hand, he can hardly see it. And he to whom Allah has not granted light - for him there is no light." [Quran 24:40] And the disbeliever and the hypocrite will not be illuminated by the light of the believer, just as the blind person is not illuminated by the sight of the one who can see. The hypocrite says to those who believe, "Look at us and provide for us some of your light." But it is said to them, "Go back and seek light." And a wall is put up between them, with a door within it. Inside it is mercy, and outside of it is torment. They call to them, "Were we not with you?" They reply, "Yes, but you deceived yourselves and delayed, and you were deceived by false hopes until the decree of Allah came. And the Deceiver deceived you concerning Allah." [Quran 4:142] So they return to the place where the light was divided and they find nothing. They turn back to them, and there is a barrier between them. It has a door, inside of which is mercy, and from its front is punishment. They call out to them, "Weren't we with you? We used to pray with you and fight in battles alongside you." They reply, "Yes, but you caused confusion, you waited and hesitated, and false hopes deceived you, until the command of Allah came and you were deceived by Allah." [Quran 57:14] Then it recites, "And how terrible that result is!" [Quran 57:15]

[Machine] He once stood as a preacher and mentioned a hadith in his sermon about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Samurah, one of the Ansar, said, "There was a young boy with me, and we used to throw arrows at a target during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . When the sun rose, it would shine in the eyes of the onlooker like the tip of a spear or two spears turned black. One of us said to his companion, 'Let's go to the Mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and, by Allah, the sun will rise today and mention a hadith to the Messenger of Allah in his ummah.' So, we went towards the mosque until we encountered the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he came out and straightened his back and prayed. He stood with us as long as he ever stood in prayer, to the point where we could not hear his voice. Then he stood up and did the same in the second raka'ah. Then he sat, and as he sat, the sunlight cleared. He gave the Salam and left, and he praised Allah and glorified Him, and testified that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and that he is the servant of Allah and His Messenger. Then he said, 'O people, I am only human, a Messenger who warns you about Allah. If you know that I have omitted anything in conveying the message of my Lord, then let me know.' The people said, 'We bear witness that you have conveyed the message of your Lord, advised your ummah, and fulfilled what was upon you.' Then he said, 'As for what follows, there are people who claim that when an eclipse occurs for the sun and moon, and when stars are removed from their positions due to the death of great men from the people of the earth, they are lying. Rather, these are the signs of Allah by which He frightens His servants. Thus, let those of them who will repent, as by Allah, I have seen things that you have not encountered in your worldly affairs nor in your Hereafter since I stood praying. And by Allah, the Hour will not be established until thirty liars will emerge, one of whom is the one-eyed False Messiah (Dajjal), whose eye is like the raised lump of flesh on the side of 'Abi Talha, the blind man, between him and the room of 'A'ishah. It will appear that he (Dajjal) is Allah, so whoever believes in him, confirms his belief in him, and follows him, then his good deeds will not benefit him from the account of his past deeds. And he (Dajjal) will appear on the entire earth except for the Haram and the blessed land of Al-Masjid al-Aqsa. And truly, he will drive the Muslims towards Al-Masjid al-Aqsa, where they will be besieged intensely."  

قَامَ يَوْمًا خَطِيبًا فَذَكَرَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ حَدِيثًا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ سَمُرَةُ بَيْنَا أَنَا وَغُلَامٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ نَرْمِي غَرَضًا لَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَكَانَتْ فِي عَيْنِ النَّاظِرِ قِيدَ رُمْحٍ أَوْ رُمْحَيْنِ اسْوَدَّتْ فَقَالَ أَحَدُنَا لِصَاحِبِهِ انْطَلَقَ بِنَا إِلَى مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَاللَّهِ لَتُحْدِثَنَّ هَذِهِ الشَّمْسُ الْيَوْمَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ فِي أُمَّتِهِ حَدِيثًا قَالَ فَدَفَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَوَافَقْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ خَرَجَ فَاسْتَقَامَ فَصَلَّى فَقَامَ بِنَا كَأَطْوَلِ مَا قَامَ فِي صَلَاةٍ قَطُّ لَا نَسْمَعُ لَهُ صَوْتًا ثُمَّ قَامَ فَفَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ بِالرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَوَافَقَ جُلُوسَهُ تَجَلِّي الشَّمْسِ فَسَلَّمَ وَانْصَرَفَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَشَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ رَسُولٌ أُذَكِّرُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي قَصَّرْتُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ بِتَبْلِيغِ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي لَمَّا أَخْبَرْتُمُونِي» فَقَالَ النَّاسُ نَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّكِ وَنَصَحْتَ لِأُمَّتِكَ وَقَضَيْتَ الَّذِي عَلَيْكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ رِجَالًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ كُسُوفَ هَذِهِ الشَّمْسِ وَكُسُوفَ هَذَا الْقَمَرِ وَزَوَالِ هَذِهِ النُّجُومِ عَنْ مَطَالِعِهَا لِمَوْتِ رِجَالٍ عُظَمَاءَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَإِنَّهُمْ كَذَبُوا وَلَكِنَّهَا آيَاتُ اللَّهِ يَعْتَبِرُ بِهَا عِبَادُهُ لَيَنْظُرَ مَنْ يُحَدِّثُ مِنْهُمْ تَوْبَةً وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ مَا أَنْتُمْ لَاقُونَ فِي أَمْرِ دُنْيَاكُمْ وَأَخِرَتِكُمْ مُذْ قُمْتُ أُصَلِّي وَإِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ ثَلَاثُونَ كَذَّابًا أَحَدُهُمُ الْأَعْوَرُ الدَّجَّالُ مَمْسُوحُ عَيْنِ الْيُسْرَى كَأَنَّهَا عَيْنُ أَبِي تِحْيَى شَيْخٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ حُجْرَةِ عَائِشَةَ خَشَبَةٌ وَإِنَّهُ مَتَى يَخْرُجُ فَإِنَّهُ سَوْفَ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ اللَّهُ فَمَنْ آمَنَ بِهِ وَصَدَّقَهُ وَاتَّبَعَهُ فَلَيْسَ يَنْفَعُهُ عَمِلٌ صَالِحٌ مِنْ عَمِلٍ سَلَفَ وَإِنَّهُ سَيَظْهَرُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا غَيْرَ الْحَرَمِ وَبَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ وَإِنَّهُ يَسُوقُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَيُحَاصَرُونَ حِصَارًا شَدِيدًا»  

[Machine] 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."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Mecca for seven years, following the people to their homes in Okaz, Majannah, and the seasons in Mina. He would say, "Who will provide shelter and support me until I convey the messages of my Lord?" Even the people from Yemen or Egypt would come to him, and their clans would warn them, saying, "Beware of the boy from Quraysh who may deceive you." He would walk among them as they pointed at him with their fingers. Then Allah sent support from Yathrib and we provided him refuge and believed in him. The man would leave us, and upon returning to his people he would deliver Islam to them, and they would embrace it until there was no house left in the houses of the Ansar without some Muslims living in it, openly practicing Islam. Then we gathered and said, "How long will we let the Prophet ﷺ be expelled and live in fear in the mountains of Mecca?" So seventy of us set out until we reached him during the pilgrimage season, and we pledged allegiance to him at Al-Aqaba. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, for what reason should we pledge allegiance to you?" He said, "Pledge allegiance to me to listen and obey in times of energy or laziness, hardship or ease, to spend in times of difficulty or abundance, to enjoy what is good and forbid what is evil, and to not care about the blame of the blamers, and to support and protect me just as you would protect yourselves, your wives, and your children, and Paradise will be yours." So we stood up and pledged allegiance to him. Sa'd ibn Zurarah, the youngest among us, held his hand and said, "O people of Yathrib, we have not even struck the backs of camels unless we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah, and that his expulsion today is a dispute for all the Arabs, and the killing of your best men, and the swords are about to reach you. So either you endure that and your reward will be with Allah, or you fear for yourselves and show your weakness. Clarify your choice, for it is easier for you." They said, "Remove this doubt, for by Allah, we will never abandon this pledge." So we pledged allegiance to him, and he placed conditions for us to be given Paradise in return.  

مَكَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ سَبْعَ * سِنِينَ يَتَتَبَّعُ النَّاسَ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ بِعُكَاظَ وَمَجَنَّةَ وَالْمَوَاسِمِ بِمِنًى يَقُولُ «مَنْ يُؤْوِينِي وَيَنْصُرَنِي حَتَّى أُبَلِّغَ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي؟ » حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لِيَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ أَوْ مِنْ مِصْرَ فَيَأْتِيهُ قَوْمُهُ فَيَقُولُونَ احْذَرْ غُلَامَ قُرَيْشٍ لَا يَفْتِنُكَ وَيَمْشِي بَيْنَ رِحَالِهِمْ وَهُمْ يُشِيرُونَ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ حَتَّى بَعَثَنَا اللَّهُ مِنْ يَثْرِبَ فَآوَيْنَاهُ وَصَدَّقْنَاهُ فَيَخْرُجُ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا وَيُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَيُقْرِئُهُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَيُسْلِمُونَ بِإِسْلَامِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ دَارٌ مِنْ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَّا فِيهَا رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يُظْهِرُونَ الْإِسْلَامَ ثُمَّ إِنَّا اجْتَمَعْنَا فَقُلْنَا حَتَّى مَتَى نَتْرُكُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُطْرَدُ فِي جِبَالِ مَكَّةَ وَيَخَافُ؟ ‍ فَرَحَلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا حَتَّى قَدِمُوا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ فَوَاعَدْنَاهُ بَيْعَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ فَاجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَهَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَرَجُلَيْنِ حَتَّى تَوَافَيْنَا فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَامَ نُبَايِعُكَ؟ قَالَ «تُبَايعُونِي عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ فِي النَّشَاطِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالنَّفَقَةِ فِي الْعُسْرِ وَالْيُسْرِ وَعَلَى الْأَمْرِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَأَنْ يَقُولَهَا لَا يُبَالِي فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ وَعَلَى أَنْ تَنْصُرُونِيَ وَتَمْنَعُونِي إِذَا قَدِمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِمَّا تَمْنَعُونَ مِنْهُ أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجَكُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَلَكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ» فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ أَسْعَدُ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ وَهُوَ مِنْ أَصْغَرِهِمْ فَقَالَ رُوَيْدًا يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ فَإِنَّا لَمْ نَضْرِبْ أَكْبَادَ الْإِبِلِ إِلَّا وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَّ إِخْرَاجَهُ الْيَوْمَ مُنَازَعَةُ الْعَرَبِ كَافَّةً وَقَتْلُ خِيَارِكُمْ وَأَنْ تَعَضَّكُمُ السُّيُوفُ فَإِمَّا أَنْ تَصْبِرُوا عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَأَجْرُكُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَإِمَّا أَنْتُمْ تَخَافُونَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ جُبْنًا فَبَيِّنُوا ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ أَعْذَرُ لَكُمْ فَقَالُوا أَمِطْ عَنَّا فَوَاللَّهِ لَا نَدَعُ هَذِهِ الْبَيْعَةَ أَبَدًا فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ فَأَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا وَشَرَطَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَنَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْجَنَّةَ  

[Machine] From his father and others, they prepared to meet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the following year in Mecca, along with those who followed them from their people. They left in the following year, seventy men among those who left their land of polytheism, Ka'b bin Malik said, "Until we were in the vicinity of the desert, Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur bin Sakhra bin Khansa', who was our elder and leader, said, 'I saw a vision, and by Allah, I do not know if you agree with me or not. I saw that I should not be one of those who seeks to destroy the Ka'bah, even though I pray towards it.' We said, 'Do not do that, for we have not received any report that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ prays except towards Ash-Sham, and we only pray towards his Qiblah.' So we insisted on this with him, and he insisted on it with us, and we set out with that. When it was time for prayer, he prayed towards the Ka'bah and we prayed towards Ash-Sham until we reached Mecca. Ka'b bin Malik said, "Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur bin Sakhra' said to me, 'By Allah, my nephew, it has occurred to me during this journey something that I would like you to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about, for it has occurred to me something regarding this matter in my mind. I have seen that I should not be one of those who seeks to destroy the Ka'bah, even though I pray towards it, and my companions have reproached me and opposed me until it has occurred to me something regarding this in my mind.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, you were on a Qiblah, so if you had persevered in it.' And he did not add anything to that." Then we went to Mina and performed the Hajj until when it was the middle of the days of Tashreeq, we (the Prophet and us) approached Al-Aqabah. We came out quietly from our tents and hid that from the polytheists among our people. When we gathered at Al-Aqabah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came with his uncle Al-Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the Qur'an to us, and we responded to him and believed in him and accepted what he said. Then Al-Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib spoke and said, "O people of the Khazraj, indeed Muhammad is one of us, as you know, and we have prevented him from one of the things that we have prevented ourselves and our women and children from. Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur spoke and took the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Give us your pledge." He said, "I give you my pledge on the condition that you protect me from those things that you protect yourselves, your women, and your children from." He said, "Yes, by the One Who sent you with the truth, we are the people of war, and we have inherited it from one generation to another."

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ stayed for ten years, tracing people in their homes during the season, in Muhjanah, 'Ukaz, and in their homes in Mina. He would say, 'Who will shelter me and support me until I deliver the messages of my Lord, and Paradise will be his?' But he ﷺ did not find anyone to support or shelter him until a man would leave Egypt or Yemen and his people would come to him and say, 'Beware of the Quraysh boy who walks among their caravans, inviting them to Allah.' They would point him out until Allah sent to him someone from Yathrib (Madina). The man would come to him, believe in him, and recite the Qur'an to him. Then he would return to his people, and they would embrace Islam until there was not a single house in Yathrib without a group of Muslims openly practicing Islam. They (the Muslims) consulted with each other and said, 'How long will the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be expelled and in fear in the mountains of Makkah?' So we set off until we reached him during the season. The people of 'Aqabah promised him and 'Abbas, his uncle, addressed the people of Yathrib, saying, 'O people of Yathrib, we gathered with him by a man and two men. When he looked at our faces, he said, 'These are people I don't know, they are young people.' We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you want us to pledge allegiance to you upon?' He said, 'Pledge allegiance to me upon hearing and obeying, in times of ease and difficulty, in matters of expenditure and hardship, and in commanding good and forbidding evil. And that you do not reproach me about Allah if you are not pleased with something, and that you support me when I come to you, denying me what you deny yourselves, your wives, and your children. Paradise will be yours.' So we pledged allegiance to him, and he took the hand of As'ad bin Zurarah, who was the youngest of the seventy except me. He said, 'O people of Yathrib, we never struck the liver of any animal except that we knew he was the Messenger of Allah, and his expulsion today is the separation of all the Arab tribes, and the killing of your best men. If you wish, you bear this burden and the reward will be with Allah, and if you fear for your own selves, leave him alone, for he is the most deserving to be excused before Allah.' They said, 'O As'ad, remove your hand from us. By Allah, we will not abandon this pledge nor break it.' So a man stood up and took the hand of 'Abbas, and guaranteed its fulfillment with Paradise.

I went out with 'Ubaidullah bin ʿAdi Al-Khaiyar. When we reached Hims (i.e. a town in Syria), 'Ubaidullah bin ʿAdi said (to me), "Would you like to see Wahshi so that we may ask him about the killing of Hamza?" I replied, "Yes." Wahshi used to live in Hims. We enquired about him and somebody said to us, "He is that in the shade of his palace, as if he were a full water skin." So we went up to him, and when we were at a short distance from him, we greeted him and he greeted us in return. 'Ubaidullah was wearing his turban and Wahshi could not see except his eyes and feet. 'Ubaidullah said, "O Wahshi! Do you know me?" Wahshi looked at him and then said, "No, by Allah! But I know that ʿAdi bin Al-Khiyar married a woman called Um Qital, the daughter of Abu Al-Is, and she delivered a boy for him at Mecca, and I looked for a wet nurse for that child. (Once) I carried that child along with his mother and then I handed him over to her, and your feet resemble that child's feet." Then 'Ubaidullah uncovered his face and said (to Wahshi), "Will you tell us (the story of) the killing of Hamza?" Wahshi replied "Yes, Hamza killed Tuaima bin ʿAdi bin Al-Khaiyar at Badr (battle) so my master, Jubair bin Mutʿim said to me, 'If you kill Hamza in revenge for my uncle, then you will be set free." When the people set out (for the battle of Uhud) in the year of 'Ainain ..'Ainain is a mountain near the mountain of Uhud, and between it and Uhud there is a valley.. I went out with the people for the battle. When the army aligned for the fight, Siba' came out and said, 'Is there any (Muslim) to accept my challenge to a duel?' Hamza bin ʿAbdul Muttalib came out and said, 'O Siba'. O Ibn Um Anmar, the one who circumcises other ladies! Do you challenge Allah and His Apostle?' Then Hamza attacked and killed him, causing him to be non-extant like the bygone yesterday. I hid myself under a rock, and when he (i.e. Hamza) came near me, I threw my spear at him, driving it into his umbilicus so that it came out through his buttocks, causing him to die. When all the people returned to Mecca, I too returned with them. I stayed in (Mecca) till Islam spread in it (i.e. Mecca). Then I left for Taif, and when the people (of Taif) sent their messengers to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I was told that the Prophet ﷺ did not harm the messengers; So I too went out with them till I reached Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When he saw me, he said, 'Are you Wahshi?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Was it you who killed Hamza?' I replied, 'What happened is what you have been told of.' He said, 'Can you hide your face from me?' So I went out when Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, and Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab appeared (claiming to be a prophet). I said, 'I will go out to Musailamah so that I may kill him, and make amends for killing Hamza. So I went out with the people (to fight Musailamah and his followers) and then famous events took place concerning that battle. Suddenly I saw a man (i.e. Musailamah) standing near a gap in a wall. He looked like an ash-colored camel and his hair was dishevelled. So I threw my spear at him, driving it into his chest in between his breasts till it passed out through his shoulders, and then an Ansari man attacked him and struck him on the head with a sword. ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar said, 'A slave girl on the roof of a house said: Alas! The chief of the believers (i.e. Musailamah) has been killed by a black slave." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4072)

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was not supported in a place where he was supported in the Battle of Uhud and this was denied to him. Ibn Abbas said, "Between me and those who deny the Book of Allah, Allah says, 'And Allah has already fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing them with His permission.'" Ibn Abbas said, "The word 'until' in the verse means 'until he forgave you'," and this refers to the archers. This is because the Prophet ﷺ had stationed them at their position and he said, 'Protect our backs. If you see us being killed, do not come to our aid, and if you see us being victorious and gaining spoils, do not share with us.' So when Allah granted victory to the Prophet ﷺ and allowed him to attack the disbelievers, the archers left their positions and entered the battlefield to collect spoils, and the rows of the Prophet's companions became scattered. They were in this state when the horses from that location attacked the Prophet's ﷺ companions. They began striking one another, and many Muslims were killed. From the beginning of the day until the time when the standard-bearer of the disbelievers was killed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions faced seven or nine of the enemy's division. The Muslims launched an attack against the horses, but they were not successful. The people said that the cave was beneath them, and the Shaytan shouted, 'Muhammad has been killed, so do not doubt it.' He said, 'And we do not doubt that he has indeed been killed,' until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ emerged between the two mountains and we recognized him by the way he walked. He said, 'So we rejoiced as if we had not been afflicted with what we had been afflicted with.' He said, 'Then he came to us while saying, 'The anger of Allah has intensified over a people who shed the blood of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' And he said again, 'O Allah, they cannot defeat us until they come to us.' So he stayed for an hour, and then Abu Sufyan shouted from beneath the mountain, 'Declare your superiority, O Hubal! Where is the son of Abu Kabsha? Where is the son of Abu Quhafa? Where is the son of Al-Khattab?' Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, shall I answer him?' He said, 'Yes.' So when Abu Sufyan said, Declare your superiority, O Hubal!' Umar said, 'Allah is the Most High and the Most Honorable.' Abu Sufyan said, 'O son of Al-Khattab, you have obtained some good fortune, but today you have come face to face with its like.' Umar said, 'This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, this is Abu Bakr, and this is Umar.' Abu Sufyan said, 'There are days that alternate with one another, and this is a battle where lives are lost.' Umar said, 'Killing us does not compare to being killed in Paradise.' Abu Sufyan said, 'You believe that?' Umar said, 'Indeed, if that is what you think, then we have lost and been defeated.' Then Abu Sufyan said, 'You will find in our killing you similar to our being killed.' And this was not according to our opinion. Then he was met by Hamiyah, the chief of the idolaters, and he said, 'Indeed, what you have said is something we do not deny.'"

[Machine] Narrated by Abu Rafi, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ : I was a servant to Abbas ibn Abdul-Muttalib and I had already embraced Islam, along with Umm al-Fadl. Abbas also embraced Islam but he kept his conversion a secret due to fear of his people. Abu Lahab, on the other hand, had turned away from the Battle of Badr and sent Akhtab ibn Hisham in his place. Akhtab owed a debt to Abbas, so he asked him to cover his debt in return for joining the battle. Abbas agreed, and when news of the battle arrived, Allah inflicted punishment upon Abu Lahab. I was weak at that time and I used to carve these (stone) vessels in a small room. Abu Lahab passed by me and, by Allah, I was sitting in the room carving the vessels while Umm al-Fadl was by me. Abu Lahab saw her and started dragging her by her legs. I said to him, "This is Umm al-Fadl, the sinner, the wife of Abbas, and you see her dragging on the ground?" He replied, "O nephew! Go away and mind your own business." So, Abu Lahab went away and sat next to the pillar in front of the room, with his back towards me. People said, "This is Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith." Then Abu Lahab called me saying, "O nephew! Come here." I went to him and he said, "O nephew! Look at the people. How did they react?" I said, "By Allah, they did not move except when we met them and they attacked us and we defended ourselves. They killed us as they pleased and captured us as they pleased."

By Allah, when I saw the people, I could not bear it. I took the pillar of the room and said, "By Allah, these are the angels." Abu Lahab raised his hand to slap me, but I ducked and his blow struck my face instead. Umm al-Fadl witnessed this and she held him back. I then picked up a piece of the pillar and hit him with it, causing a deep wound on his head. She said, "You enemy of Allah, have you oppressed him when you see his master absent?" Abu Lahab became submissive and, by Allah, he did not live for more than seven nights before Allah struck him with a disease that killed him. His sons left him for two or three nights until they buried him. A man from Quraish said to his sons, "Aren't you ashamed? Your father has died and you have left him in his house." They replied, "We fear this disease." Quraish used to avoid the disease like they would avoid the plague. The man said, "I will go with you." They replied, "By Allah, they only washed him by throwing water at him from distant places and then they carried him and threw him on top of a wall. They stoned him to death."

[Machine] I went with a man until we entered upon Fatimah bint Qays, the sister of Dihyah bin Qays. We said, "O Fatimah, tell us a narration that you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She said, "Yes." So she gave us dates and water to drink. She said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one day and sat on the pulpit. The people surrounded him and took refuge with him. He said, 'O people, I have been made to sit here due to a piece of news.' She said, 'And it was not on the hour that he used to sit in. Tameem Ad-Dari entered upon me today during the migration or around Dhuhr time. He informed me that his cousins were thrown into a ship in the sea on an island that they do not know. So they went into it, walking, and they came across something that they did not recognize if it was a man or a woman, from what it was clothed with hair. So they said, 'Who are you?' It said, 'I am the Jassasah!' They said, 'Inform us.' It said, 'I do not inform you, nor do I ask you anything. But if you want the news, go to this monastery,' pointing to a monastery on the island, not far away. So we went on walking until we entered it and found a man who was bound with iron, large and heavy. His back was leaning against the side of a mountain. He said, 'Who are you?' We said, 'People from the Arabs.' He said, 'What did the unlettered Prophet ﷺ do?' We said, 'He has left.' He said, 'What did the date-palms of Bani Uman and Baysan do?' We said, 'They bear fruits and produce.' He said, 'What did the spring of Zughar do?' We said, 'It remains the same.' He said, 'What did the lake of Tabariyyah do?' We said, 'It is full.' He struck his hand upon his thigh and said, 'I have lost everything of the land except Makkah and Madinah.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Madinah will be shaken one, twice. No dajjal shall enter it. There is no spot in it that is not guarded by angels, except that they shall stand upon a rock, raising the sword.' And he pointed with his hand, 'And from the direction of Yemen is what?' We said, 'Whatever Allah wills.' Then he said, while pointing with his hand, 'And his shirt is close to thirty times the size from the direction of Iraq and it is not less than thirty times.'

[Machine] I was in the market of Al-Majaz when a young man passed by wearing a red cloak. He was saying, "O people, say there is no god but Allah, and you will be successful." A man behind him threw stones at him, causing his face and legs to bleed, saying, "O people, he is a liar, so do not obey him." So I asked, "Who is this?" They said, "This is the son of Hashim's slave girl, who claims to be the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and this is his uncle 'Abdul-'Uzza." When Muhammad ﷺ migrated to Medina and the people embraced Islam, we also left our tribe with our property. When we arrived at Medina and were near its walls, we changed our clothes to different ones. Then, a man on the road asked, "From where have the people come?" We said, "We are from the tribe of Na'mir and we have a red camel standing with a slit ear." He asked, "Are you selling your camel?" We said, "Yes." He asked, "For how much?" We replied, "For such and such a measure of dates." He did not reduce anything from our words and hit his hand. He then took the reins of our camel and turned away with it. When he disappeared from our sight behind the walls, we said, "By Allah, we have not done anything wrong and we have given our pledge to a person we do not know." Then a woman sitting there said, "I have seen a man whose face resembles a full moon. By Allah, he will neither oppress you nor disappoint you. I guarantee your camel." Then, a man came and said, "I am the Messenger, the Messenger of Allah, to you. This is your camel's provision, so eat, be satisfied, and store some." So we ate, were satisfied, stored some, and entered the mosque. We found him delivering a sermon from the pulpit. We heard him saying, "Give charity, as charity is beneficial for you. The upper hand is better than the lower hand. Begin by giving to those you have obligations towards, such as your father, mother, sister, brother, and the closest relatives." So a man from the Ansar stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, these are the sons of Yarbu' who killed one of us during the pre-Islamic period. Should we still fulfill our obligations towards them?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said three times, "Indeed, a father does not inherit from his child."  

إِنِّي بِسُوقِ ذِي الْمَجَازِ إِذْ مَرَّ رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ مِنْ بُرْدٍ أَحْمَرَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ تُفْلِحُوا وَرَجُلٌ خَلْفَهُ يَرْمِيَهِ قَدْ أَدْمَى عُرْقُوبَيْهِ وَسَاقَيْهِ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ كَذَّابٌ فَلَا تُطِيعُوهُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا هَذَا غُلَامُ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ الَّذِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهَذَا عَمُّهُ عَبْدُ الْعُزَّى فَلَمَّا هَاجَرَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَأَسْلَمَ النَّاسُ ارْتَحَلْنَا مِنَ الرَّبَذَةِ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَعَنَا ظَعِينَةٌ لَنَا فَلَمَّا أَتَيْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ وَأَدَنَّا حِيطَانَهَا لَبِسْنَا ثِيَابًا غَيْرَ ثِيَابِنَا إِذَا رَجُلٌ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلَ الْقَوْمُ؟ قُلْنَا نَمِيرُ أَهْلَنَا مِنْ تَمْرِهَا وَلَنَا جَمَلٌ أَحْمَرُ قَائِمٌ مَخْطُومٌ قَالَ تَبِيعُونِي جَمَلَكُمْ؟ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ بِكَمْ؟ قُلْنَا بِكَذَا وَكَذَا صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَمَا اسْتَنْقَصَنَا مِمَّا قُلْنَا شَيْئًا وَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ فَأَخَذَ خِطَامَ الْجَمَلِ ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ بِهِ فَلَمَّا تَوَارَى عَنَّا بِالْحِيطَانِ قُلْنَا وَاللهِ مَا صَنَعْنَا شَيْئًا وَبَايَعْنَا مَنْ لَا نَعْرِفُ قَالَ تَقُولُ امْرَأَةٌ جَالِسَةٌ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا كَأَنَّ وَجْهَهُ شَبَهُ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ وَاللهِ لَا يَظْلِمُكُمْ وَلَا يَحْتَرِيكُمْ وَأَنَا ضَامِنَةٌ لِجَمَلِكُمْ فَأَتَى رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَنَا رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَيْكُمْ هَذَا تَمْرُكُمْ فَكُلُوا وَاشْبَعُوا وَاكْتَالُوا قَالَ فَأَكَلْنَا وَشَبِعْنَا وَاكْتَلْنَا وَاسْتَوْفَيْنَا ثُمَّ دَخَلْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَتَيْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا هُوَ يَخْطُبُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَسَمِعْنَا مِنْ قَوْلِهِ يَقُولُ تَصَدَّقُوا فَإِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ وَأُخْتَكَ وَأَخَاكَ وَأَدْنَاكَ فَأَدْنَاكَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو يَرْبُوعٍ قَتَلُوا رَجُلًا مِنَّا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَعْدِنَا عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلَا إِنَّ أَبًا لَا يَجْنِي عَلَى وَلَدٍ أَلَا إِنَّ أَبًا لَا يَجْنِي عَلَى وَلَدٍ أَلَا إِنَّ أَبًا لَا يَجْنِي عَلَى وَلَدٍ» ثَلَاثًا
