Qurʾān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Bukhārī Muslim Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Nasāʾī Ibn Mājah Dārimī Aḥmad Mālik Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Bazzār Ibn Khuzaymah Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī

Refusal of three requested concessions

ahmad:18777 – ʿAlī b. ʿĀṣim > al-Mughīrah > Shibāk > ʿĀmir > Fulān al-Thaqafī

[AI] We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about three things, and he did not grant us a concession in any of them. We asked him to return Abu Bakrah to us, and he had been a slave and had accepted Islam before us, so he said: "No, he is Allah's freedman, then the freedman of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." Then we asked him to grant us a concession in the winter, and our land was a cold land, meaning regarding purification, but he did not grant us a concession. And we asked him to grant us a concession regarding gourd vessels, but he did not grant us permission in that.

أحمد:١٨٧٧٧ – حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ عَنْ شِبَاكٍ عَنْ عَامِرٍ أَخْبَرَنِي فُلَانٌ الثَّقَفِيُّ قَالَ

سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ ثَلَاثٍ، فَلَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لَنَا فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْهُنَّ. سَأَلْنَاهُ أَنْ يَرُدَّ إِلَيْنَا أَبَا بَكْرَةَ، وَكَانَ مَمْلُوكًا وَأَسْلَمَ قَبْلَنَا، فَقَالَ: «لَا، هُوَ طَلِيقُ اللهِ، ثُمَّ طَلِيقُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ». ثُمَّ سَأَلْنَاهُ أَنْ يُرَخِّصَ لَنَا فِي الشِّتَاءِ، وَكَانَتْ أَرْضُنَا أَرْضًا بَارِدَةً، يَعْنِي فِي الطَّهُورِ، فَلَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لَنَا. وَسَأَلْنَاهُ أَنْ يُرَخِّصَ لَنَا فِي الدُّبَّاءِ، فَلَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لَنَا فِيهِ.

ahmad:17530 – Yaḥyá b. Ādam > Mufaḍḍal b. Muhalhil > Mughīrah > Shibāk > al-Shaʿbī > a man from Thaqīf

[Machine] We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ three times for permission, but he did not grant us permission. So we said, "Indeed, our land is a cold land." We asked him for permission in matters of purification, but he did not grant us permission. We asked him to allow us to use the wild animals for hunting, but he did not grant us permission for one hour. And we asked him to send Abu Bakrah back to us, but he refused and said, "He is the emancipated slave of Allah and the emancipated slave of His Messenger." Abu Bakrah had gone to the Prophet ﷺ when he was besieging Ta'if, and he accepted Islam.

أحمد:١٧٥٣٠ – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا مُفَضَّلُ بْنُ مُهَلْهِلٍ عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ عَنْ شِبَاكٍ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ قَالَ

سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثًا فَلَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لَنَا فَقُلْنَا إِنَّ أَرْضَنَا أَرْضٌ بَارِدَةٌ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ أَنْ يُرَخِّصَ لَنَا فِي الطُّهُورِ فَلَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لَنَا وَسَأَلْنَاهُ أَنْ يُرَخِّصَ لَنَا فِي الدُّبَّاءِ فَلَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لَنَا فِيهِ سَاعَةً وَسَأَلْنَاهُ أَنْ يَرُدَّ إِلَيْنَا أَبَا بَكْرَةَ فَأَبَى وَقَالَ هُوَ طَلِيقُ اللهِ وَطَلِيقُ رَسُولِهِ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ خَرَجَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ حَاصَرَ الطَّائِفَ فَأَسْلَمَ
