‘Awf bin malik Al Ashja’I said “I went out with Zaid bin Harith in the battle of Mutah. For the reinforcement of the Muslim army a man from the people of Yemen accompanied me. He had only his sword with him. A man from the Muslims slaughtered a Camel. The man for the reinforcement asked him for a part of its skin which he gave him. He made it like the shape of a shield. We went on and met the Byzantine armies. There was a man among them on a reddish horse with a golden saddle and golden weapons. This Byzantinian soldiers began to attack the Muslims desperately. The man for reinforcement sat behind a rock for (attacking) him. He hamstrung his horse and overpowered him and then killed him. He took his horse and weapons. When Allah, Most High, bestowed victory on the Muslims. Khalid bin Al Walid sent for him and took his spoils. ‘Awf said “I came to him and said “Khalid, do you know that the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ had decided to give spoils to the killer? He said “Yes, I thought it abundant. I said “You should return it to him, or I shall tell you about it before the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ. But he refused to return it. ‘Awf said “We then assembled with the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ. I told him the story of the man of reinforcement and what Khalid had done. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “Khalid, what made you do the work you have done?” He said “Apostle of Allaah ﷺ, I considered it to be abundant. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “Khalid, return it to him what you have taken from him.” ‘Awf said “I said to him “here you are, Khalid. Did I not keep my word? The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “What is that? I then informed him.” He said “The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ became angry and said “Khalid, do not return it to him. Are you going to leave my commanders? You may take from them what is best for you and eave to them what is worst.

عَوْفٌ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا خَالِدُ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَضَى بِالسَّلَبِ لِلْقَاتِلِ قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنِّي اسْتَكْثَرْتُهُ قُلْتُ لَتَرُدَّنَّهُ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ لأُعَرِّفَنَّكَهَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ عَوْفٌ فَاجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهِ قِصَّةَ الْمَدَدِيِّ وَمَا فَعَلَ خَالِدٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا خَالِدُ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اسْتَكْثَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا خَالِدُ رُدَّ عَلَيْهِ مَا أَخَذْتَ مِنْهُ قَالَ عَوْفٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ دُونَكَ يَا خَالِدُ أَلَمْ أَفِ لَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَا ذَلِكَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا خَالِدُ لاَ تَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ هَلْ أَنْتُمْ تَارِكُونَ لِي أُمَرَائِي لَكُمْ صِفْوَةُ أَمْرِهِمْ وَعَلَيْهِمْ كَدَرُهُ

[AI] "So a man from the Amadad tribe joined us and sought refuge with our caravan. He had nothing with him except a sword, no other weapon. He slaughtered a Muslim man as a sacrifice and continued to deceive until he took off his skin like a garment and spread it on the ground. He then threw himself on it until he became dry, and he made it a shield-like covering. It was decided that we would meet our enemies, a mixture of Romans and Arabs, from Qadada, so we fought them fiercely. Among their people was a Roman man on a horse, with blonde hair, a golden saddle, a speckled saddlecloth, and a sword like his. He carried it and tricked our people. The Amadadi man continued to deceive the Roman until he passed by him, then he struck the veins of his horse with the sword and it fell. He followed him and struck him with the sword until he killed him. When Allah granted us victory, he came forward to ask for his share of the spoils, and the people testified in his favor as his killer. Khalid gave him some of his spoils and kept the rest. When he returned to the caravan of Awf, he mentioned it to him. Awf said to him, 'Go back to him and let him give you what remains.' So he returned to him, but he refused. Awf then went to Khalid and said to him, 'Don't you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ decreed that the spoils belong to the killer?' He replied, 'Yes.' Awf said, 'Then what prevents you from giving him the spoils of his victim?' Khalid said, 'I kept it for him, O Messenger of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah then heard about it and became angry. He said to Khalid, 'Don't give it to him, Khalid. Are you leaving my commands? Your example and his are like a man who bought camels and sheep, took them to a watering hole, and let them drink from it and left the scum. So the choice part is for you, and the scum shall be for them.'"

[AI] Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ give all the spoils of war to the killer? He said, "Yes, but I have given him more than his share. By the oath of Allah, I will inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it." When we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I told him the news and he called him and commanded him to give the rest of his share to the Muddadi (assisting soldier). So Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) complied. I said to him, "How did you see it, O Khalid? Did I not fulfill my promise to you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ became angry and said, "O Khalid, do not give it to him and come to me." He said, "Are you abandoning me to my commanders? You have the best among them for their work and upon them are its consequences." His saying ﷺ , "O Khalid, do not give it to him," was intended for that specific time, then he commanded him again and he gave it to him.

[AI] That the messenger of Allah ﷺ did not give away the spoils and that a man named Maddiyyan was his companion in the Battle of Mu'tah on the outskirts of Syria, and they encountered the enemy. A Roman soldier intensified his attack on the Muslims and he was riding a chestnut horse with a golden saddle and a golden belt and a sword made of gold. He would strike with it, treating him gently, until the Maddadiyyan passed him, turning to attack his horse, and he fell. Then he climbed on him with a sword and killed him. When Allah defeated the Romans, evidence was found for the Maddadiyyan indicating that he killed him. Khalid gave him his sword and a fifth of his wealth. Awf said, "I spoke to Khalid ibn al-Walid and said, 'Don't you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ decreed that the spoils belong to the killer?' He said, 'Yes, but I wanted it for myself.'" Awf said, "There was a conversation between me and him." So I said, "By Allah, I will inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ of your story." Awf said, "When we gathered with the Prophet ﷺ , Awf mentioned what had happened and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What prevented you from giving it to him?' Khalid said, 'I wanted it for myself.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Give it to him.' Awf said, 'I said to Khalid, 'How did you see, O Khalid? Did I not fulfill what I promised you?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ became angry and said to Khalid, 'Do not give it to him,' and he said, 'You are not leaving my command.'"

[AI] I asked Alqamah, "Was Ibn Masood with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the Night of the Jinn?" Alqamah said, "I asked Ibn Masood and said, 'Did anyone of you witness the Night of the Jinn with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He said, 'No, but we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a certain night, and we lost him. So we searched for him in the valleys and mountains, and we said, 'He was taken away or killed.' So we spent the night fearing that some people had captured him. When morning came, he appeared to us from the direction of Hira and said, 'We lost you and searched for you but did not find you, so I spent the night with some people.' He said, 'A caller from among the jinn came to me and I went with him, and I recited the Quran to them.' He then took us to see their tracks and the marks of their fires, and they asked him for provisions. He said, 'Every bone that mentions the name of Allah upon it will be enough for you as meat, and every dung will be enough for your animals.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do not relieve yourselves with those two things, for they are the food of your brothers.'"

[AI] That the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , made Qunut in the Witr prayer in the last Rak'ah after saying "Allah hears the one who praises Him." He would say in his Qunut: "O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid, O Allah, save Salamah bin Hisham, O Allah, save 'Ayyash bin Abi Rabiah, O Allah, save the oppressed ones among the believers, O Allah, strengthen your punishment upon Mudar, O Allah, make it years upon them like the years of Yusuf." Abu 'Ali Al-Rawdhbari informed us, Muhammad bin Bakr narrated to us, Abu Dawud narrated to us, 'Abdulrahman bin Ibrahim narrated to us, Al-Walid - the son of Muslim - narrated to us, Al-Awza'i mentioned it in his chain. He said: The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , made Qunut in the Witr prayer for a month, saying the same words except that he did not mention 'Ayyash bin Abi Rabiah. At the end, Abu Hurairah said: One day the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , went (to prayer) and did not invoke (Qunut) for them. I mentioned that to him, and he said: What do you think? They have already come (to Islam).

[AI] I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and embraced Islam. Then I said, "O Messenger of Allah, make something for my people that they can embrace Islam with from their wealth." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did so and appointed me to collect it from them. Abu Bakr also appointed me, then Umar appointed me. Saad was one of the people of Sura, and I spoke to my people about honey and said to them, "It is a form of charity because there is no good in a fruit that is not purified." They asked, "How much?" I said, "One tenth." So I took one tenth from them and went to Umar bin Khattab and informed him. Umar took it and sold it, and then placed its price in the charities of the Muslims.

قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَسْلَمْتُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اجْعَلْ لِقَوْمِي مَا أَسْلَمُوا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ فَفَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَاسْتَعْمَلَنِي عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ اسْتَعْمَلَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ عُمَرُ قَالَ وَكَانَ سَعْدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ السُّرَاةِ قَالَ فَكَلَّمْتُ قَوْمِي فِي الْعَسَلِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ زَكَاةٌ فَإِنَّهُ لَا خَيْرَ فِي ثَمَرَةٍ لَا تُزَكَّى فَقَالُوا كَمْ قَالَ؟ فَقُلْتُ الْعُشْرُ فَأَخَذْتُ مِنْهُمُ الْعُشْرَ فَأَتَيْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِمَا كَانَ قَالَ فَقَبَضَهُ عُمَرُ ؓ فَبَاعَهُ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ ثَمَنَهُ فِي صَدَقَاتِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ 7463 وَأَخْبَرَنَاهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْمَكِّيُّ ثنا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ أَبُو ضَمْرَةَ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ وَرَوَاهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذُبَابٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ فِي الْعَسَلِ وَرَوَاهُ الصَّلْتُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ عِيَاضٍ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ أَبِي ذُبَابٍ عَنْ مُنِيرٍ هُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ وَكَذَلِكَ

[AI] Abu Al-Walid Al-Faqih, Abu Abdullah Al-Hafidh, Ali Ibn Isa Al-Hairi, Muhammad Ibn Ishaq Ibn Khuza'imah, Muhammad Ibn Bashar, Abdul Samad Ibn Abdul Warith, Abdul Rahman Ibn Abdullah Ibn Dinar, Zaid Ibn Aslam said: "I saw a sheikh in Alexandria called Surraq. I asked him what this name meant. He said it was a name given to him by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and that he would not change it. I asked him why they called him that, and he said, 'I came to Madinah and informed them that I had money to invest, so they pledged their allegiance to me. I consumed their wealth, and they brought me to the Prophet ﷺ who said, 'You are a thief.' He sold me for four camels. The Ghurama' said to the one who bought me, 'What will you do with him?' He said, 'I will set him free.' They said, 'We are not more righteous than you in reward, so set him free among us.' And so, my name remained, as did its meaning."

ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الْفَقِيهُ ح وَأنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى الْحِيرِيُّ قَالَا ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ثنا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ ثنا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ شَيْخًا بِالْإِسْكَنْدَرِيَّةِ يُقَالُ لَهُ سُرَّقٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا هَذَا الِاسْمُ؟ فَقَالَ اسْمٌ سَمَّانِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَنْ أَدَعَهُ قُلْتُ وَلِمَ سَمَّاكَ؟ قَالَ قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ أَنَّ مَالِي يَقْدَمُ فَبَايَعُونِي فَاسْتَهْلَكْتُ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فَأَتَوْا بِيَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ سُرَّقٌ فَبَاعَنِي بِأَرْبَعَةِ أَبْعِرَةٍ فَقَالَ الْغُرَمَاءُ لِلَّذِي اشْتَرَانِي مَا تَصْنَعُ بِهِ؟ قَالَ أُعْتِقُهُ قَالُوا فَلَسْنَا بِأَزْهَدَ فِي الْأَجْرِ مِنْكَ فَأَعْتَقُونِي بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَقِيَ اسْمِي وَبِمَعْنَاهُ

[AI] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled for confiscation from the killer? He said, "Yes, but I increased it." I said, "You should return it to him or I will inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it." He said, "We will not return it to him." I said, "Fine." So we gathered with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I narrated to him the story of Madadi and what Khalid did. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Khalid, what prompted you to do what you did?" Khalid said, "O Messenger of Allah, I increased it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Khalid, return to him what you took from him." Awf said, "I said to you, O Khalid, did I not warn you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "What happened?" So I informed him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ became angry and said, "O Khalid, do not return it to him. Are you leaving my commanders for you, the elite of their affairs, while they face difficulties?"

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَضَى بِالسَّلَبِ لِلْقَاتِلِ؟ قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنِّي اسْتَكْثَرْتُهُ قُلْتُ لَتَرُدَّنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ أَوْ لَأُعَرِّفَنَّكَهَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَنْ نَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ عَوْفٌ فَاجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهِ قِصَّةَ الْمَدَدِيِّ وَمَا فَعَلَ خَالِدٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا خَالِدُ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قََالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اسْتَكْثَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا خَالِد رُدَّ عَلَيْهِ مَا أَخَذْتَ مِنْهُ قَالَ عَوْفٌ فَقُلْتُ دُونَكَ يَا خَالِدُ أَلَمْ أَفِ لَكَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا خَالِدُ لَا تَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ هَلْ أَنْتُمْ تَارِكُو لِي أُمَرَائِي لَكُمْ صَفْوَةُ أَمْرِهِمْ وَعَلَيْهِمْ كَدَرُهُ؟

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not choose between two matters except that he would take the easier one, as long as it was not sinful. And if it was sinful, he would distance himself the most from it. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not seek revenge for himself unless the sanctity of Allah was violated, so he would take revenge for the sake of Allah. 13284 And Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us, Ali ibn Isa informed us, Musa ibn Muhammad Al-Dhuhli informed us, Yahya ibn Yahya said: I read it to Malik, and he mentioned it except that he did not mention his saying "so he would take revenge for the sake of Allah."

مَا خُيِّرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي أَمْرَيْنِ إِلَّا أَخَذَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ إِثْمًا فَإِذَا كَانَ إِثْمًا كَانَ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ وَمَا انْتَقَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِنَفْسِهِ إِلَّا أَنْ تُنْتَهَكَ حُرْمَةُ اللهِ فَيَنْتَقِمُ لِلَّهِ بِهَا 13284 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الذُّهْلِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ فَذَكَرَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ قَوْلَهُ فَيَنْتَقِمُ لِلَّهِ بِهَا

[AI] Abu Huraira and Zaid ibn Khalid narrated that a man from the Bedouins came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I swear by Allah, except if Allah decides otherwise, then I will definitely be judged according to the Book of Allah." Another man, who was more knowledgeable than him, said, "Yes, judge between us according to the Book of Allah and give me permission." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Say what you have to say." He said, "My son was a shepherd and he committed adultery with his wife. I was informed that stoning was required for my son, so I ransomed him with one hundred sheep and a slave-girl. I asked the people of knowledge and they informed me that my son should be lashed one hundred times and exiled for one year, and that his wife should be stoned." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I will judge between you according to the Book of Allah. The slave-girl and the sheep shall be returned to you, and your son shall be lashed one hundred times and exiled for one year. Go, O Unais, and deal with the matter of this woman, and if she confesses, then stone her." So, the next day she confessed and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that she be stoned.

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ إِلَّا قَضَيْتَ فِيَّ بكِتَابِ اللهِ فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ وَهُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ نَعَمْ فَاقْضِ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ وَأْذَنْ لِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُلْ قَالَ إِنَّ ابْنِي كَانَ عَسِيفًا عَلَى هَذَا فَزَنَى بِامْرَأَتِهِ وَإِنِّي أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّ عَلَى ابْنِي الرَّجْمَ فَافْتَدَيْتُ مِنْهُ بِمِائَةِ شَاةٍ وَوَلِيدَةٍ وَسَأَلْتُ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ فَأَخْبَرُونِي أَنَّ عَلَى ابْنِي جَلْدَ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبَ عَامٍ وَأَنَّ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ الرَّجْمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَأَقْضِيَنَّ بَيْنَكُمَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ الْوَلِيدَةُ وَالْغَنَمُ رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى ابْنِكَ جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ اغْدُ يَا أُنَيْسُ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ هَذَا فَإِنِ اعْتَرَفَتْ فَارْجُمْهَا قَالَ فَغَدَا عَلَيْهَا فَاعْتَرَفَتْ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَرُجِمَتْ

[AI] Bin al-Walid narrated that they both entered the house of Maymuna with the Prophet Muhammad. A roasted lizard was brought, and the Messenger of Allah inclined towards it with his hand. Some of the women in the house of Maymuna said, "Inform the Messenger of Allah about what he wants to eat." They said, "It is a lizard, O Messenger of Allah." So, the Messenger of Allah raised his hand, and I said, "Is it haram?" He said, "No, but it was not found in my people's land, so I find it repulsive." Khalid said, "So I repeated it and ate it, and the Messenger of Allah observed."
