Abu Bakr came to my father who was at home and purchased a saddle from him. He said to ʿAzib. "Tell your son to carry it with me." So I carried it with him and my father followed us so as to take the price (of the saddle). My father said, "O Abu Bakr! Tell me what happened to you on your night journey with Messenger of Allah ﷺ (during Migration)." He said, "Yes, we travelled the whole night and also the next day till midday. when nobody could be seen on the way ( because of the severe heat) . Then there appeared a long rock having shade beneath it, and the sunshine had not come to it yet. So we dismounted there and I levelled a place and covered it with an animal hide or dry grass for the Prophet ﷺ to sleep on (for a while). I then said, 'Sleep, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I will guard you.' So he slept and I went out to guard him. Suddenly I saw a shepherd coming with his sheep to that rock with the same intention we had when we came to it. I asked (him). 'To whom do you belong, O boy?' He replied, 'I belong to a man from Medina or Mecca.' I said, 'Do your sheep have milk?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Will you milk for us?' He said, 'Yes.' He caught hold of a sheep and I asked him to clean its teat from dust, hairs and dirt. (The sub-narrator said that he saw Al-Bara' striking one of his hands with the other, demonstrating how the shepherd removed the dust.) The shepherd milked a little milk in a wooden container and I had a leather container which I carried for the Prophet ﷺ to drink and perform the ablution from. I went to the Prophet, hating to wake him up, but when I reached there, the Prophet ﷺ had already awakened; so I poured water over the middle part of the milk container, till the milk was cold. Then I said, 'Drink, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!' He drank till I was pleased. Then he asked, 'Has the time for our departure come?' I said, 'Yes.' So we departed after midday. Suraqa bin Malik followed us and I said, 'We have been discovered, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!' He said, Don't grieve for Allah is with us.' The Prophet ﷺ invoked evil on him (i.e. Suraqa) and so the legs of his horse sank into the earth up to its belly. (The subnarrator, Zuhair is not sure whether Abu Bakr said, "(It sank) into solid earth.") Suraqa said, 'I see that you have invoked evil on me. Please invoke good on me, and by Allah, I will cause those who are seeking after you to return.' The Prophet ﷺ invoked good on him and he was saved. Then, whenever he met somebody on the way, he would say, 'I have looked for him here in vain.' So he caused whomever he met to return. Thus Suraqa fulfilled his promise."

I and two of my companions were so much afflicted by hunger that we had lost our power of seeing and hearing. We presented ourselves (as guests) to the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, but none amongst them would entertain us. So we came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ, and he took us to his residence and there were three goats. Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: Milk these for us. So we milked them and every person amongst us drank his share and we set aside the share of Allah's Apostle ﷺ. (It was his habit) to come during the night and greet (the people present there) in a manner that would not wake up one in sleep but make one who was awake hear it. He would then go to the mosque and say prayer, then go to the milk and drink it. Miqdad added: One night the Satan came to me when I had taken my share, and he said: Muhammad has gone to the Ansar, who would offer him hospitality and he would get what is with them, and he has no need for this draught (of milk). So I took (that milk) and drank it, and when it had penetrated deeply in my stomach and I was certain that there was no way out (but to digest it), the Satan aroused (my sense of) remorse and said: Woe be to thee! what have you done? You have taken the drink reserved for Muhammad! When he would come and he would not find it, he would curse you, and you would be ruined, and thus there would go (waste) this world and the Hereafter (for) you. There was a sheet over me; as I placed (pulled) it upon my feet, my head was uncovered and as I placed it upon my head, my feet were uncovered, and I could not sleep, but my two companions had gone to sleep for they had not done what I had done. There came Allah's Apostle ﷺ, and he greeted as he used to greet (by saying as-Salamu 'Alaikum). He then came to the mosque and observed prayer and then came to his drink (milk) and uncovered it, but did not find anything in it. He raised his head towards the sky, and I said (to myself) that he (the Holy Prophet) was going to invoke curse upon me and I would be thus ruined; but he (the Holy Prophet) said: Allah, feed him who fed me and give drink to him who provided me drink. I held tight the sheet upon myself (and when he had supplicated), I took hold of the knife and went to the goats (possessed by the Holy Prophet) so that I may slauhter one for Messenger of Allah ﷺ which was the fattest amongst them, and in fact all of them were milch goats; then I took hold of the vessel which belonged to the family of Messenger of Allah ﷺ in which they used to milk and drink therefrom, and milked them in that until it swelled up with foam. I came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said: Have you taken your share of the milk during the night? I said: Drink it. and he drank it; he then handed over (the vessel) to me and I said: Messenger of Allah, drink it, and he drank it and handed over (the vessel) to me again, I then perceived that Allah's Apostle ﷺ had been satiated and I had got his blessings. I burst into laughter (so much) so that I fell upon the ground, whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Miqdad, it must be one of your mischiefs. I said: Messenger of Allah, this affair of mind is like this and this. and I have done so. Thereupon. Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: This is nothing but a mercy from Allah. Why is it that you did not give me an opportunity so that we should have awakened our two friends and they would have got their share (of the milk)? I said: By Him Who has sent you with Truth. I do not mind whatever you give (to them), and whatever the (other) people happen to get, when I had got it along with you from among the people.

"We were with the Messenger of Allah when the delegation of Hawazin came to him and said: 'O Muhammad! We are one of the 'Arab tribes and a calamity has befallen us of which you are well aware. Do us a favor, may Allah bless you.' He said: 'Choose between your wealth or your women and children.' They said: 'You have given us a choice between our families and our wealth; we choose our women and children.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'As for that which was allocated to myself and to Banu 'Abdul-Muttalib, it is yours. When I have prayed Zuhr, stand up and say: "We seek the help of the Messenger of Allah in dealing with the believers, or the Muslims, with regard to our women and children."' So when they prayed Zuhr, they stood up and said that. The Messenger of Allah said: 'As for that which was allocated to myself and to Banu 'Abdul-Muttalib, it is yours.' The Muhajirun said: 'That which was allocated to us is for the Messenger of Allah.' The Ansar said: 'That which was allocated to us is for the Messenger of Allah.' Al-Aqra' bin Habis said: 'As for myself and Banu Tamim, then no (we will not give it up).' 'Uyaynah bin Hisn said: 'As for myself and Banu Fazarah, then no (we will not give it up).' Al-'Abbas bin Mirdas said: 'As for myself and Banu Sulaim, then no (we will not give it up).' Banu Sulaim stood up and said: 'You lied; whatever was allocated to us, it is for the Messenger of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'O people, give their women and children back to them. Whoever gives back anything of these spoils of war, he will have six camels from the spoils of war that Allah grants us next.' Then he mounted his riding-animal and the people surrounded him, saying: 'Distribute our spoils of war among us.' They made him go back toward a tree on which his Rida' (upper-wrap) got caught. He said: 'O people! Give me back my Rida'. By Allah! If there were cattle as many in number as the trees of Tihamah I would distribute them among you, then you would not find me a miser, a coward or a liar.' Then he went to a camel and took a hair from its hump between two of his fingers and said: 'Look! I do not have any of the spoils of war. All I have is the Khums, and the Khums will be given back to you.' A man stood up holding a ball of yarn made from goat hair and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I took this to fix my camel-saddle.' He said: 'What was allocated to myself and to Banu 'Abdul-Muttalib is for you.' He said: 'Is this so important? I don't need it!' And he threw it down. He said: 'O people! Give back even needles large and small, for Al-Ghulul will be (a source of) shame and disgrace for those who took it on the Day of Resurrection.'"

AbdulMuttalib ibn Rabi'ah ibn al-Harith said that his father, Rabi'ah ibn al-Harith, and Abbas ibn al-Muttalib said to AbdulMuttalib ibn Rabi'ah and al-Fadl ibn Abbas: Go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and tell him: Messenger of Allah, we are now of age as you see, and we wish to marry. Messenger of Allah, you are the kindest of the people and the most skilled in matchmaking. Our fathers have nothing with which to pay our dower. So appoint us collector of sadaqah (zakat), Messenger of Allah, and we shall give you what the other collectors give you, and we shall have the benefit accruing from it. Ali came to us while we were in this condition. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: No, I swear by Allah, he will not appoint any of you collector of sadaqah (zakat). Rabi'ah said to him: This is your condition; you have gained your relationship with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ by marriage, but we did not grudge you that. Ali then put his cloak on the earth and lay on it. He then said: I am the father of Hasan, the chief. I swear by Allah, I shall not leave this place until your sons come with a reply (to the question) for which you have sent them to the Prophet ﷺ. AbdulMuttalib said: So I and al-Fadl went towards the door of the apartment of the Prophet ﷺ. We found that the noon prayer in congregation had already started. So we prayed along with the people. I and al-Fadl then hastened towards the door of the apartment of the Prophet ﷺ. He was (staying) with Zaynab, daughter of Jahsh, that day. We stood until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came. He caught my ear and the ear of al-Fadl. He then said: Reveal what you conceal in your hearts. He then entered and permitted me and al-Fadl (to enter). So we entered and for a little while we asked each other to talk. I then talked to him, or al-Fadl talked to him (the narrator, Abdullah was not sure). He said: He spoke to him concerning the matter about which our fathers ordered us to ask him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent for a moment and raised his eyes towards the ceiling of the room. He took so long that we thought he would not give any reply to us. Meanwhile we saw that Zaynab was signalling to us with her hand from behind the veil, asking us not to be in a hurry, and that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was (thinking) about our matter. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then lowered his head and said to us: This sadaqah (zakat) is a dirt of the people. It is legal neither for Muhammad nor for the family of Muhammad. Call Nawfal ibn al-Harith to me. So Nawfal ibn al-Harith was called to him. He said: Nawfal, marry AbdulMuttalib (to your daughter). So Nawfal married me (to his daughter). The Prophet ﷺ then said: Call Mahmiyyah ibn Jaz'i to me. He was a man of Banu Zubayd, whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had appointed collector of the fifths. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Mahmiyyah: Marry al-Fadl (to your daughter). So he married him to her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Stand up and pay the dower from the fifth so-and-so on their behalf. Abdullah ibn al-Harith did not name it (i.e. the amount of the dower).

"I supplicate Allah to bring you and I together in the market of Paradise." So Sa'eed said: "Is there a market in it?" He said: "Yes, the messenger of Allah ﷺ informed me that: 'When the people of Paradise enter it, they shall take their places according to the virtue of their deeds. Then permission shall be granted to them to visit their Lord, for the length of a Friday from the days of the world. He shall present for them His Throne and He shall manifest the gardens of Paradise. Then lofty seats of light shall be erected for them, and lofty saets of pearl, and lofty seats or corundum, and lofty seats of peridots, and lofty seats of gold, and lofty seats of silver. And the lowest of them- and there is none of them that is low- shall sit upon a dune of musk and camphor, and they shall not regard those upon the chairs as having a better sitting place than them.' Abu Hurairah said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, and will we see our Lord?' He ﷺ said: 'Yes.[He said: ] Do you doubt [concerning] seeing the sun, or the moon on a night when it is full?' We said: 'No.' He said: 'Likewise, you will not doubt concerning seeing your Lord. And they shall not remain in that meeting any man except Allah shall give him a lecture until he says to a man from among them: "O so-and – so son of so - and – so, do you remember the day when you said such-and-such.” And He will remind him of some of his betrayals in the world, so he will say: “O my Lord, did you not forgive me?” So He will say: “Indeed! It is by the vastness of My Forgiveness that you reached this station of yours.” So while they are engaged in this they shall be covered by a cloud that shall rain upon them a perfume, the like of whose smell they have not smelled, ever. And our Lord [Blessed and Exalted is He] shall say: “Arise to what I have prepared for you of generosity, and take whatever you desire.” Then, we will come to a market which the angels will have already surrounded. [In it] shall be what no eyes have seen the like of, nor ears have heard of, nor ever has it occurred in the hearts (of men). And there shall be carried to us whatever we desire. There shall be not be anything sold or bought in this market, and, in that market, the people of Paradise shall meet one another.' He said: 'So the person of high rank shall come and meet the one below him in rank- and there is none among them that is low- so he shall be impressed by the clothes he sees on him, their discussion shall not come to an end until he shall imagine upon himself what is more beautiful than it, and that is because it is not fitting for anyone to feel regret therein. Then we will return to our places and our wives shall meet us saying: “Welcome and greetings, you have come, and you have beauty greater than what you parted us with.” So we will say: “Indeed we sat today with our Lord, the Powerful, and it is fitting that we should return with what we have returned with.'” (Da'if)

[Machine] The delegation of Hawazin came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in Ji'ranah, and they had embraced Islam. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are a noble tribe and have been afflicted with calamities that you are unaware of. Show us the favor that Allah has bestowed upon you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked them, "Do you prefer your children and women or your wealth?" They replied, "O Messenger of Allah, you have given us a choice between our responsibilities and our wealth. Instead, our children and women should be returned to us, as they are more beloved to us." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them, "As for whatever belongs to me and the family of Abd al-Muttalib, it is for you. So when I offer the Dhuhr prayer for the people, stand and say, 'We seek the intercession of the Messenger of Allah with the Muslims, and of the Muslims with the Messenger of Allah, for the sake of our children and women.' Then I will give you what you ask for." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the Dhuhr prayer with the people, they stood and spoke as he had commanded them. The Muhajirun (emigrants) said, "As for us, it does not belong to us. It is for the Messenger of Allah." The Ansar (helpers) said the same. Al-Aqra' bin Habis said, "As for me and the sons of Tameem, we will not give it up." 'Uyaina bin Hisn bin Hudhaifah bin Badr said, "As for me and the sons of Fazara, we will not give it up." Abbas bin Mirdas said, "As for me and the sons of Sulaim, we will not give it up." Banu Sulaim said, "No, it does not belong to us. It is for the Messenger of Allah." Abbas said, "O sons of Sulaim, you have weakened me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for those among you who hold on to their rights from this booty, each of them will receive six shares from the first division. So give the people back their children and women."

[Machine] "In the battle of Uhud, the women used to stand behind the Muslim men and tend to the wounds of the polytheists. So, if I made an oath that day, I hoped to fulfill it because none of us desired the worldly life until Allah revealed, 'Among you are some who desire the world, and among you are some who desire the Hereafter. Then He turned you away from them to test you.' [Quran 3:152] When the Prophet ﷺ and his companions disobeyed and did not follow the orders they were given, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained alone with nine Ansaris, two men from Quraysh, and he was the tenth. When they were overwhelmed, he said, 'May Allah have mercy on a man who separated them from us.' Then a man from the Ansar stood up and fought until he was killed. When he was also overwhelmed, he said, 'May Allah have mercy on a man who separated them from us.' He kept saying this until all seven of them were killed. Then the Prophet ﷺ said to his companions, 'Our martyrs and your martyrs are not equal. Our martyrs are alive and provided for, while your martyrs are being punished in the Fire.' Abu Sufyan came and said, 'Declare victory, Hu'bal.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Say, 'Allah is our protector and you have no protector.'' So they said, 'Allah is our protector and you have no protector.' Abu Sufyan said, 'We have Uzza and you have no Uzza.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Say, 'Allah is our superior and our most majestic.''' Abu Sufyan said, 'A day for a (good) day, a day for us and a day for you, a day of women and a day of men fighting individually.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'No comparison. As for our dead, they are provided for by Allah, while as for your dead, they are being punished in the Fire.' Abu Sufyan said, 'The matter was similar among your people, but there was no one among us who had commanded, forbidden, liked, disliked, harmed, or benefited me regarding it.' Then they looked and saw that Hamzah's stomach had been slit and Hind had chewed his liver, but she was unable to swallow it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Has she eaten any of it?' They said, 'No.' He said, 'Allah would not let anything of Hamzah enter the Fire.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed Hamzah and offered the funeral prayer for him. Then another man was brought from the Ansar and placed by his side, and the funeral prayer was offered for him. The Ansari was raised, and Hamzah was left without offering the funeral prayer for him until seventy prayers were offered for him that day."

[Machine] "Julaibib used to enter upon women and interact with them. So I said to my wife, 'Julaibib should not enter upon you, for if he were to enter upon you, I am afraid that he would do something.' The Ansar would not marry off their daughters until they found out if there was any need for the Prophet, ﷺ , in her. So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to a man from the Ansar, 'Marry your daughter to me.' He said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah, this is certainly an honor.' The Prophet, ﷺ , said, 'I don't want her for myself, but I want her for Julaibib.' The man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, for Julaibib?' He said, 'Yes, for Julaibib.' So he consulted her mother, and when the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came, he informed her of what her mother had said. She said, 'Julaibib, is it him?' She repeated this three times. 'Yes, by Allah, for I will not marry him.' So when he wanted to stand up to inform the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , of what she had said, the girl said, 'Who proposed to me to you?' Her mother informed her. She said, 'Are you rejecting the command of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ?' Push me, for he has not disappointed me.' So her father went to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and informed him. He said, 'What is your opinion about her?' Then he married her to Julaibib. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , went on a campaign, and when Allah granted them victory, he asked his companions, 'Have you lost anyone?' They said, 'We have lost so-and-so, and we have lost so-and-so.' He said, 'Look, have you lost anyone?' They said, 'No.' He said, 'But I have lost Julaibib.' So seek him among the slain.' They searched for him until they found him beside seven men he had killed, and then they killed him.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, here he is, beside seven men he had killed, and then they killed him.' So the Prophet, ﷺ , stood over him and said, 'He has killed seven and then they killed him. This one is from me and I am from him. This one is from me and I am from him.' He raised his head and placed him on his side, and there was no bed except that of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . Then he placed him in his grave. It is not mentioned that he was bathed. Thabit said, 'Wealth that the Ansar had would be spent but they did not find anyone who narrated about it in this world except Hammad bin Salamah. How well he narrated it.'"

I and two of my companions were so much afflicted by hunger that we had lost our power of seeing and hearing. We presented ourselves (as guests) to the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, but none amongst them would entertain us. So we came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ, and he took us to his residence and there were three goats. Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: Milk these for us. So we milked them and every person amongst us drank his share and we set aside the share of Allah's Apostle ﷺ. (It was his habit) to come during the night and greet (the people present there) in a manner that would not wake up one in sleep but make one who was awake hear it. He would then go to the mosque and say prayer, then go to the milk and drink it. Miqdad added: One night the Satan came to me when I had taken my share, and he said: Muhammad has gone to the Ansar, who would offer him hospitality and he would get what is with them, and he has no need for this draught (of milk). So I took (that milk) and drank it, and when it had penetrated deeply in my stomach and I was certain that there was no way out (but to digest it), the Satan aroused (my sense of) remorse and said: Woe be to thee! what have you done? You have taken the drink reserved for Muhammad! When he would come and he would not find it, he would curse you, and you would be ruined, and thus there would go (waste) this world and the Hereafter (for) you. There was a sheet over me; as I placed (pulled) it upon my feet, my head was uncovered and as I placed it upon my head, my feet were uncovered, and I could not sleep, but my two companions had gone to sleep for they had not done what I had done. There came Allah's Apostle ﷺ, and he greeted as he used to greet (by saying as-Salamu 'Alaikum). He then came to the mosque and observed prayer and then came to his drink (milk) and uncovered it, but did not find anything in it. He raised his head towards the sky, and I said (to myself) that he (the Holy Prophet) was going to invoke curse upon me and I would be thus ruined; but he (the Holy Prophet) said: Allah, feed him who fed me and give drink to him who provided me drink. I held tight the sheet upon myself (and when he had supplicated), I took hold of the knife and went to the goats (possessed by the Holy Prophet) so that I may slauhter one for Messenger of Allah ﷺ which was the fattest amongst them, and in fact all of them were milch goats; then I took hold of the vessel which belonged to the family of Messenger of Allah ﷺ in which they used to milk and drink therefrom, and milked them in that until it swelled up with foam. I came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said: Have you taken your share of the milk during the night? I said: Drink it. and he drank it; he then handed over (the vessel) to me and I said: Messenger of Allah, drink it, and he drank it and handed over (the vessel) to me again, I then perceived that Allah's Apostle ﷺ had been satiated and I had got his blessings. I burst into laughter (so much) so that I fell upon the ground, whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Miqdad, it must be one of your mischiefs. I said: Messenger of Allah, this affair of mind is like this and this. and I have done so. Thereupon. Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: This is nothing but a mercy from Allah. Why is it that you did not give me an opportunity so that we should have awakened our two friends and they would have got their share (of the milk)? I said: By Him Who has sent you with Truth. I do not mind whatever you give (to them), and whatever the (other) people happen to get, when I had got it along with you from among the people. (Using translation from Muslim 2055a)

[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] 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] 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."

“I supplicate Allah to bring you and I together in the marketplace of Paradise,” Sa’eed said: “Is there a marketplace there?” He said: “Yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told me that when the people of Paradise enter it, they will take their places according to their deeds, and they will be given permission for a length of time equivalent to Friday on earth, when they will visit Allah. His Throne will be shown to them and He will appear to them in one of the gardens of Paradise. Chairs of light and chairs of pearls and chairs of rubies and chairs of chrysolite and chairs of gold and chairs of silver will be placed for them. Those who are of a lower status than them, and none of them will be regarded as insignificant, will sit on sandhills of musk and camphor, and they will not feel that those who are sitting on chairs are seated better than them.” Abu Hurairah said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord?’ He said: ‘Yes. Do you dispute that you see the sun and the moon on the night when it is full?’ We said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Likewise, you will not dispute that you see your Lord, the Glorified. There will be no one left in that gathering with whom Allah does not speak face to face, until He will say to a man among you: “Do you not remember, O so-and-so, the day you did such and such?” And He will remind him of some of his sins in this world. He will say: “O Lord, have You not forgiven me?” He will say: “Yes, it is by the vastness of My forgiveness that You have reached the position you are in.” While they are like that, a cloud will cover them from above and will rain down on them perfume the like of whose fragrance they have never smelled before. Then He will say: “Get up and go to the honor that has been prepared for you, and take whatever you desire.” So we will go to a marketplace surrounded by the angels, in which there will be such things as eyes have never seen, ears have never heard and it has not entered the heart of man. Whatever we desire will be carried for us. Nothing will be bought or sold therein. In that marketplace the people of Paradise will meet one another. A man of elevated status will meet those who are of lower status than him, but none shall be regarded as insignificant, and he will be dazzled by the clothes that he sees on him. He will not finish the last of his conversation before better clothes appear on him. That is because no one should be sad there.’” “He said: ‘Then we will go back to our homes where we will be met by our wives, and they will say: ‘Welcome. You have come looking more handsome and with a better fragrance than when you left us.’ And we will say: ‘Today we sat with our Lord, the Compeller, the Glorified, and we deserve to come back as we have come back.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4336)

[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.'"  

مَا نُصِرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مَوْطِنٍ نَصْرَهُ فِي أُحُدٍ فَأُنْكِرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ مَنْ يُنْكِرُ كِتَابُ اللهِ إِنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ {وَلَقَدْ صَدَقَكُمُ اللهُ وَعْدَهُ إِذْ تَحُسُّونَهُمْ بِإِذْنِهِ} فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَالْحَسُّ الْقَتْلُ {حَتَّى إِذَا فَشِلْتُمْ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَلَقَدْ عَفَا عَنْكُمْ وَاللهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} وَإِنَّمَا عَنَى بِهَذَا الرُّمَاةَ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَقَامَهُمْ فِي مَرْصَدٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «احْمُوا ظُهُورَنَا فَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمُونَا نُقْتَلُ فَلَا تَنْصُرُونَا وَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمُونَا قَدْ غَنِمْنَا فَلَا تَشْرَكُونَا» فَلَمَّا غَنَّمَ اللهُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَبَاحَهُ عَسْكَرَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ انْكَفَّتِ الرُّمَاةُ جَمِيعًا فَدَخَلُوا الْعَسْكَرَ يَنْتَهِبُونَ وَقَدِ الْتَفَّتْ صُفُوفُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَهُمْ هَكَذَا وَشَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَالْيُسْرَى فَلَمَّا أَخْلَتِ الرُّمَاةُ تِلْكَ الْحُلَّةَ الَّتِي كَانُوا فِيهَا دَخَلَتِ الْخَيْلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَضَرَبَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا وَقُتِلَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ نَاسٌ كَثِيرٌ وَقَدْ كَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابِهِ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ حَتَّى مِنْ أَصْحَابِ لِوَاءِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ سَبْعَةً أَوْ تِسْعَةً وَجَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ جَوْلَةً نَحْوَ الْخَيْلِ وَلَمْ يَبْلُغُوا حَيْثُ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ الْغَارَ إِنَّمَا كَانُوا تَحْتَ الْمِهْرَاسِ وَصَاحَ الشَّيْطَانُ قُتِلَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَلَمْ نَشُكَّ فِيهِ أَنَّهُ حَقٌّ قَالَ وَإِنَّا كَذَلِكَ لَا نَشُكُّ أَنَّهُ حَقٌّ قَدْ قُتِلَ حَتَّى طَلَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الشِّعْبَيْنِ فَعَرَفْتُهُ بِتَكَفُّئِهِ إِذَا مَشَى قَالَ فَفَرِحْنَا حَتَّى كَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُصِبْنَا مَا أَصَابَنَا قَالَ فَرَقَى نَحْوَنَا وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «اشْتَدَّ غَضَبُ اللهِ عَلَى قَوْمٍ دَمَوْا وَجْهَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ» قَالَ وَيَقُولُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى «اللهُمَّ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَعْلُونَا حَتَّى يَنْتَهُوا إِلَيْنَا» فَمَكَثَ سَاعَةً وَإِذَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَصِيحُ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ الْجَبَلِ اعْلُ هُبَلُ يَعْنِي آلِهَتَهُ أَيْنَ ابْنُ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَفَلَا أُجِيبُهُ؟ قَالَ «بَلَى» قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَالَ اعْلُ هُبَلُ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ اللهُ أَعْلَى وَأَجَلُّ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ إِنَّكَ قَدْ أَنْعَمْتَ فَعَادَ لِمِثْلِهَا فَقَالَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَهَذَا أَنَا عُمَرُ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَوْمٌ بِيَوْمِ بَدْرٍ إِنَّ الْأَيَّامَ دُوَلٌ وَإِنَّ الْحَرْبَ سِجَالٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لَا سَوَاءَ قَتْلَانَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَقَتْلَاكُمْ فِي النَّارِ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ لَتَزْعُمُونَ ذَلِكَ لَقَدْ خِبْنَا إِذًا وَخَسِرْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ سَتَجِدُونَ فِي قَتْلَاكُمْ مُثْلًا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ عَنْ رَأْيِ كُبَرَائِنَا ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَتْهُ حَمِيَّةُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ كَانَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ نَكْرَهْهُ  

[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."

AbdulMuttalib ibn Rabi'ah ibn al-Harith said that his father, Rabi'ah ibn al-Harith, and Abbas ibn al-Muttalib said to AbdulMuttalib ibn Rabi'ah and al-Fadl ibn Abbas: Go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and tell him: Messenger of Allah, we are now of age as you see, and we wish to marry. Messenger of Allah, you are the kindest of the people and the most skilled in matchmaking. Our fathers have nothing with which to pay our dower. So appoint us collector of sadaqah (zakat), Messenger of Allah, and we shall give you what the other collectors give you, and we shall have the benefit accruing from it. Ali came to us while we were in this condition. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: No, I swear by Allah, he will not appoint any of you collector of sadaqah (zakat). Rabi'ah said to him: This is your condition; you have gained your relationship with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ by marriage, but we did not grudge you that. Ali then put his cloak on the earth and lay on it. He then said: I am the father of Hasan, the chief. I swear by Allah, I shall not leave this place until your sons come with a reply (to the question) for which you have sent them to the Prophet ﷺ. AbdulMuttalib said: So I and al-Fadl went towards the door of the apartment of the Prophet ﷺ. We found that the noon prayer in congregation had already started. So we prayed along with the people. I and al-Fadl then hastened towards the door of the apartment of the Prophet ﷺ. He was (staying) with Zaynab, daughter of Jahsh, that day. We stood until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came. He caught my ear and the ear of al-Fadl. He then said: Reveal what you conceal in your hearts. He then entered and permitted me and al-Fadl (to enter). So we entered and for a little while we asked each other to talk. I then talked to him, or al-Fadl talked to him (the narrator, Abdullah was not sure). He said: He spoke to him concerning the matter about which our fathers ordered us to ask him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent for a moment and raised his eyes towards the ceiling of the room. He took so long that we thought he would not give any reply to us. Meanwhile we saw that Zaynab was signalling to us with her hand from behind the veil, asking us not to be in a hurry, and that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was (thinking) about our matter. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then lowered his head and said to us: This sadaqah (zakat) is a dirt of the people. It is legal neither for Muhammad nor for the family of Muhammad. Call Nawfal ibn al-Harith to me. So Nawfal ibn al-Harith was called to him. He said: Nawfal, marry AbdulMuttalib (to your daughter). So Nawfal married me (to his daughter). The Prophet ﷺ then said: Call Mahmiyyah ibn Jaz'i to me. He was a man of Banu Zubayd, whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had appointed collector of the fifths. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Mahmiyyah: Marry al-Fadl (to your daughter). So he married him to her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Stand up and pay the dower from the fifth so-and-so on their behalf. Abdullah ibn al-Harith did not name it (i.e. the amount of the dower). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2985)

[Machine] I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when he saw me, I heard him say, "This is the master of the Arabs." He then said, "When we descended, I came to him and started talking to him." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, the wealth that I have does not have any followers from guests, and my dependents have increased." He said, "The best wealth is 40 dinars and more, and woe to those who have 200 dinars, unless they give in its messengers, emergencies, and to the poor, and slaughter their fat camels to feed the contented and the needy." I said, "O Prophet of Allah, what noble manners and good conduct!" He said, "What do you do?" I said, "The camels graze, and people come and whoever wishes takes the lead of a she-camel and takes it away." He said, "What do you do with the weak camels?" I said, "I do not give away the young or the wounded she-camels." He said, "What is more beloved to you, your wealth or the wealth of your allies?" I said, "My wealth is more beloved to me than the wealth of my allies." He said, "Then, you have from your wealth what you have eaten and exhausted, or what you have worn and worn out, or what you have given away and spent, and otherwise they gather it and give it to you." I said, "By Allah, even if they remain, I will spend their number." Al-Hasan said, "So he did, by Allah." When death approached Qays, he said, "O my sons, take advice from me. I find nothing more sincere for you than what I advise you with when I die. So, honor your elders and do not dishonor your young ones, as people will laugh at you and disrespect you. And be wary of asking, as it is the end of a person's earning. For no one asks except that his earning is left behind. And when I die, do not wail over me, as I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbidding wailing. Shroud me in the same clothes that I used to pray and fast in. And when you bury me, do not bury me in a place where anyone can see me, for there were some disputes between me and Bakr ibn Wail in the time of ignorance, and I fear they may dig me up and do things that would harm your religion and worldly affairs." Al-Hasan, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "He advised them during his life and he advised them in death."  

قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «هَذَا سَيِّدُ أَهْلِ الْعَرَبِ» قَالَ فَلَمَّا نَزَلْنَا أَتَيْتُهُ فَجَعَلْتُ أُحَدِّثُهُ قَالَ قُلْتٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الْمَالُ الَّذِي لَا يَكُونُ عَلَيَّ فِيهِ تَبِعَةٌ مِنْ ضَيْفٍ ضَافَنِي وَعِيَالٍ كَثُرُوا قَالَ «نِعْمَ الْمَالُ الْأَرْبَعُونَ وَالْأَكْثَرُ السِّتُّونَ وَوَيْلٌ لِأَصْحَابِ الْمِائَتَيْنِ إِلَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى فِي رِسْلِهَا وَنَجْدَتِهَا وَأَفْقَرَ ظَهْرًا وَنَحَرَ سَمِينَهَا فَأَطْعَمَ الْقَانِعَ وَالْمُعْتَرَّ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَا أَكْرَمَ هَذِهِ الْأَخْلَاقَ وَأَحْسَنَهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَا يَحِلُّ بِالْوَادِي الَّذِي أَكُونُ فِيهِ لِكَثْرَةِ إِبِلِي قَالَ «فَكَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ؟» قُلْتُ تَغْدُو الْإِبِلُ وَيَغْدُو النَّاسُ فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَخَذَ بِرَأْسِ بَعِيرٍ فَذَهَبَ بِهِ فَقَالَ «مَا تَصْنَعُ بِإِفْقَارِ الظَّهْرِ؟» قُلْتُ إِنِّي لَا أُفْقِرُ الصَّغِيرَ وَلَا النَّابَ المُدْبِرَةَ قَالَ «فَمَالُكَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ أَمْ مَالُ مَوَالِيكَ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ مَالِي أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ مَالِ مَوَالِيَّ قَالَ «فَإِنَّ لَكَ مِنْ مَالِكَ مَا أَكَلْتَ فَأَفْنَيْتَ أَو لَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ أَو أَعْطَيْتَ فَأَمْضَيْتَ وَإِلَّا فَلُمُّوا إِلَيْكَ» فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ لَئِنْ بَقِيَتُ لَأَفْنِيَنَّ عَدَدَهَا قَالَ الْحَسَنُ فَفَعَلَ وَاللهِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْ قَيْسًا الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ يَا بَنِيَّ خُذُوا عَنِّي لَا أَجِدُ أَنْصَحَ لَكُمْ مِنِّي إِذَا أَنَا مُتُّ فَسَوِّدُوا كِبَارَكُمْ وَلَا تُسَوِّدُوا صِغَارَكُمْ فَيَسْتَسْفِهَكُمُ النَّاسُ فَيَهُونُوا عَلَيْكُمْ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِاسْتِصْلَاحِ الْمَالِ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْبَهَةُ الْكَرِيمِ وَيُسْتَغْنَى بِهِ عَنِ اللَّئِيمِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْمَسْأَلَةَ فَإِنَّهَا آخِرُ كَسْبِ الْمَرْءِ إِنَّ أَحَدًا لَمْ يَسْأَلْ إِلَّا تَرَكَ كَسْبَهُ وَإِذَا مُتُّ فَلَا تَنُوحُوا عَلَيَّ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «يَنْهَى عَنِ النِّيَاحَةِ» وَكَفِّنُونِي فِي ثِيَابِي الَّتِي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي فِيهَا وَأَصُومُ وَإِذَا دَفَنْتُمُونِي فَلَا تَدْفِنُونِي فِي مَوْضِعٍ يَطَّلِعُ عَلَيَّ أَحَدٌ فَإِنَّهٌ قَدْ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ بَكْرِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ خَمَاشَاتٌ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَخَافُ أَنْ يَنْبُشُونِي فَيَصْنَعُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ مَا يَذْهَبُ فِيهِ دِينُكُمْ وَدُنْيَاكُمْ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ نَصَحَ لَهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ وَنَصَحَ لَهُمْ فِي الْمَمَاتِ  

The Prophet ﷺ appointed ʿAbdullah bin Jubair as the commander of the infantry men (archers) who were fifty on the day (of the battle) of Uhud. He instructed them, "Stick to your place, and don't leave it even if you see birds snatching us, till I send for you; and if you see that we have defeated the infidels and made them flee, even then you should not leave your place till I send for you." Then the infidels were defeated. By Allah, I saw the women fleeing lifting up their clothes revealing their leg-bangles and their legs. So, the companions of ʿAbdullah bin Jubair said, "The booty! O people, the booty ! Your companions have become victorious, what are you waiting for now?" ʿAbdullah bin Jubair said, "Have you forgotten what Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to you?" They replied, "By Allah! We will go to the people (i.e. the enemy) and collect our share from the war booty." But when they went to them, they were forced to turn back defeated. At that time Messenger of Allah ﷺ in their rear was calling them back. Only twelve men remained with the Prophet ﷺ and the infidels martyred seventy men from us. On the day (of the battle) of Badr, the Prophet ﷺ and his companions had caused the 'Pagans to lose 140 men, seventy of whom were captured and seventy were killed. Then Abu Sufyan asked thrice, "Is Muhammad present amongst these people?" The Prophet ﷺ ordered his companions not to answer him. Then he asked thrice, "Is the son of Abu Quhafa present amongst these people?" He asked again thrice, "Is the son of Al-Khattab present amongst these people?" He then returned to his companions and said, "As for these (men), they have been killed." ʿUmar could not control himself and said (to Abu Sufyan), "You told a lie, by Allah! O enemy of Allah! All those you have mentioned are alive, and the thing which will make you unhappy is still there." Abu Sufyan said, "Our victory today is a counterbalance to yours in the battle of Badr, and in war (the victory) is always undecided and is shared in turns by the belligerents, and you will find some of your (killed) men mutilated, but I did not urge my men to do so, yet I do not feel sorry for their deed" After that he started reciting cheerfully, "O Hubal, be high! (1) On that the Prophet ﷺ said (to his companions), "Why don't you answer him back?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ What shall we say?" He said, "Say, Allah is Higher and more Sublime." (Then) Abu Sufyan said, "We have the (idol) Al ʿUzza, and you have no ʿUzza." The Prophet said (to his companions), "Why don't you answer him back?" They asked, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! What shall we say?" He said, "Says Allah is our Helper and you have no helper." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3039)

"We were with the Messenger of Allah when the delegation of Hawazin came to him and said: 'O Muhammad! We are one of the 'Arab tribes and a calamity has befallen us of which you are well aware. Do us a favor, may Allah bless you.' He said: 'Choose between your wealth or your women and children.' They said: 'You have given us a choice between our families and our wealth; we choose our women and children.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'As for that which was allocated to myself and to Banu 'Abdul-Muttalib, it is yours. When I have prayed Zuhr, stand up and say: "We seek the help of the Messenger of Allah in dealing with the believers, or the Muslims, with regard to our women and children."' So when they prayed Zuhr, they stood up and said that. The Messenger of Allah said: 'As for that which was allocated to myself and to Banu 'Abdul-Muttalib, it is yours.' The Muhajirun said: 'That which was allocated to us is for the Messenger of Allah.' The Ansar said: 'That which was allocated to us is for the Messenger of Allah.' Al-Aqra' bin Habis said: 'As for myself and Banu Tamim, then no (we will not give it up).' 'Uyaynah bin Hisn said: 'As for myself and Banu Fazarah, then no (we will not give it up).' Al-'Abbas bin Mirdas said: 'As for myself and Banu Sulaim, then no (we will not give it up).' Banu Sulaim stood up and said: 'You lied; whatever was allocated to us, it is for the Messenger of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'O people, give their women and children back to them. Whoever gives back anything of these spoils of war, he will have six camels from the spoils of war that Allah grants us next.' Then he mounted his riding-animal and the people surrounded him, saying: 'Distribute our spoils of war among us.' They made him go back toward a tree on which his Rida' (upper-wrap) got caught. He said: 'O people! Give me back my Rida'. By Allah! If there were cattle as many in number as the trees of Tihamah I would distribute them among you, then you would not find me a miser, a coward or a liar.' Then he went to a camel and took a hair from its hump between two of his fingers and said: 'Look! I do not have any of the spoils of war. All I have is the Khums, and the Khums will be given back to you.' A man stood up holding a ball of yarn made from goat hair and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I took this to fix my camel-saddle.' He said: 'What was allocated to myself and to Banu 'Abdul-Muttalib is for you.' He said: 'Is this so important? I don't need it!' And he threw it down. He said: 'O people! Give back even needles large and small, for Al-Ghulul will be (a source of) shame and disgrace for those who took it on the Day of Resurrection.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3688)

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِحُنَيْنٍ فَلَمَّا أَصَابَ مِنْ هَوَازِنَ مَا أَصَابَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَسَبَايَاهُمْ أَدْرَكَ وَفْدُ هَوَازِنَ بِالْجِعْرَانَةِ وَقَدْ أَسْلَمُوا فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَنَا أَصْلٌ وَعَشِيرَةٌ وَقَدْ أَصَابَنَا مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ مَا لَمْ يَخْفَ عَلَيْكَ فَمُنَّ عَلَيْنَا مَنَّ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نِسَاؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكُمْ أَمْ أَمْوَالُكُمْ؟ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ خَيَّرْتَنَا بَيْنَ أَحْسَابِنَا وَبَيْنَ أَمْوَالِنَا أَبْنَاؤُنَا وَنِسَاؤُنَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَّا مَا كَانَ لِي وَلِبَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ وَإِذَا أَنَا صَلَّيْتُ بِالنَّاسِ فَقُومُوا وَقُولُوا إِنَّا نَسْتَشْفِعُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَبِالْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي أَبْنَائِنَا وَنِسَائِنَا فَسَأُعْطِيكُمْ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ وَأَسْأَلُ لَكُمْ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالنَّاسِ الظُّهْرَ قَامُوا فَقَالُوا مَا أَمَرَهُمْ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَّا مَا كَانَ لِي وَلِبَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ فَقَالَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ فَمَا كَانَ لَنَا فَهُوَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا فَهُوَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ الْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ أَمَّا أَنَا وَبَنُو تَمِيمٍ فَلَا وَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مِرْدَاسٍ أَمَّا أَنَا وَبَنُو سُلَيْمٍ فَلَا فَقَالَتْ بَنُو سُلَيْمٍ بَلْ مَا كَانَ لَنَا فَهُوَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ بَدْرٍ أَمَّا أَنَا وَبَنُو فَزَارَةَ فَلَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَمْسَكَ مِنْكُمْ بِحَقِّهِ فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ سِتَّةُ فَرَائِضَ مِنْ أَوَّلِ فَيْءٍ نُصِيبُهُ فَرَدُّوا إِلَى النَّاسِ نِسَاءَهُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَهُمْ ثُمَّ رَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَاتَّبَعَهُ النَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اقْسِمْ عَلَيْنَا فَيْئَنَا حَتَّى اضْطَرُّوهُ إِلَى شَجَرَةٍ فَانْتُزِعَتْ عَنْهُ رِدَاءُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ رُدُّوا عَلَيَّ رِدَائِي فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ كَانَ لَكُمْ عَدَدُ شَجَرِ تِهَامَةَ نَعَمًا لَقَسَمْتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ ثُمَّ مَا أَلْفَيْتُمُونِي بَخِيلًا وَلَا جَبَانًا وَلَا كَذَّابًا ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى جَنْبِ بَعِيرٍ وَأَخَذَ مِنْ سَنَامِهِ وَبَرَةً فَجَعَلَهَا بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ وَاللهِ مَا لِي مِنْ فَيْئِكُمْ وَلَا هَذِهِ الْوَبَرَةِ إِلَّا الْخُمُسَ وَالْخُمُسُ مَرْدُودٌ عَلَيْكُمْ؛ فَأَدُّوا الْخِيَاطَ وَالْمَخِيطَ؛ فَإِنَّ الْغُلُولَ عَارٌ وَنَارٌ وَشَنَارٌ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِكُبَّةٍ مِنْ خُيُوطِ شَعَرٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَخَذْتُ هَذَا لِأَخِيطَ بِهِ بَرْذَعَةَ بَعِيرٍ لِي دَبَرَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَّا حَقِّي مِنْهَا لَكَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَمَّا إِذَا بَلَغَ الْأَمْرُ هَذَا فَلَا حَاجَةَ لِي بِهَا فَرَمَى بِهَا مِنْ يَدِهِ  

[Machine] "I saw the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , passing through the market of Dhi al-Majaz while I was in my shop. He passed by wearing a red garment, and I heard him saying, 'O people, say there is no god but Allah, and you will succeed.' A man following him was throwing stones at him, causing his heels to bleed. The man said, 'O people, do not obey him, for he is a liar.' I asked, 'Who is this?' They said, 'He is a young boy from the Bani Abd al-Muttalib tribe.' I asked, 'Who is the one throwing stones at him?' They said, 'His uncle, Abd al-Uzza Abu Lahab bin Abd al-Muttalib.' When Allah made Islam apparent, we left the mountain pass, and we had with us a herd of camels. We came close to the city when we were sitting down, and a man wearing two garments greeted us. He asked, 'Which tribe are you from?' We replied, 'We are from the mountain pass, and we have with us a red camel.' He asked, 'Are you selling the camel?' We replied, 'Yes.' He asked, 'For how much?' We said, 'For this much and this much (giving the measurement in weight) of dates.' He said, 'I take it.' He took hold of the camel's reins and went away with it until he disappeared into the city walls. Some of us said to each other, 'Do you know who this man is?' None of us knew him, so the people started asking each other, 'Are you selling your camels to someone you do not know?' The herd of camels replied, 'Do not blame each other, for we have seen a man who will not betray you. We have not seen anyone whose face resembles the full moon on the night of the full moon.' When evening came, a man came to us and greeted us, saying, 'Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you. Are you the people who came from the mountain pass?' We replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'I am the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and he commands you to eat from these dates until you are satisfied and take as much as you can hold in your hands.' So we ate from the dates until we were satisfied and took as much as we could hold. The next day, we arrived in the city, and there was the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , standing on the pulpit, addressing the people. I heard him say, 'The hand that gives is better than the hand that takes, and start with those who rely on you the most—your mother, your father, your sister, your brother—and work your way down.' Then a man from the Ansar stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, these are the sons of Tha'laba bin Yarbu, who killed so and so during the time of ignorance. Take revenge on our behalf.' The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , raised his hands until I could see the whiteness of his armpits and said, 'A mother should not be held accountable for her child, a mother should not be held accountable for her child.' And he repeated the hadith, which was also narrated by Abu Jannab al-Kalbi from Jamee bin Shaddad."

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Hunayn when the Hawazin suffered losses of their wealth and captives. The delegation of the Hawazin, who had embraced Islam, caught up with him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have our lineage and family, and we have been afflicted with calamities that you are well aware of. So, show us kindness from what Allah has blessed you with." Their speaker, Zuhayr bin Surad, mentioned their customs and recited some verses. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Are your wives and children dearer to you or your wealth?" They replied, "O Messenger of Allah, our wives and children are dearer to us." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for what belongs to me and the Banu Abd Al-Muttalib, it is for you. And when I lead the people in prayer, you should stand and say, 'We seek intercession through the Messenger of Allah to the Muslims, and through the Muslims to the Messenger of Allah regarding our wives and children.' I will grant you that and I will request it for you." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led the people in the Dhuhr prayer, they stood up and asked, "What did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ command us?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for what belongs to me and the Banu Abd Al-Muttalib, it is for you." The Emigrants said, "As for what belongs to us, it is for the Messenger of Allah." Al-Aqra bin Habis said, "As for me and the Banu Tameem, no." Al-Abbas bin Mirdas Al-Sulami said, "As for me and the Banu Sulaim, no." The Banu Sulaim said, "Rather, what belongs to us is for the Messenger of Allah." Uyaynah bin Badr said, "As for me and the Banu Fazara, no." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever holds onto his right from you will receive six shares of the first booty that comes to us. Return to the people their wives and children." This is the story of Musawwar bin Makhrama regarding the capture of Hawazin, and it has already passed.  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِحُنَيْنٍ فَلَمَّا أَصَابَ مِنْ هَوَازِنَ مَا أَصَابَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَسَبَايَاهُمْ أَدْرَكَهُ وَفْدُ هَوَازِنَ بِالْجِعْرَانَةِ وَقَدْ أَسْلَمُوا فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَنَا أَصْلٌ وَعَشِيرَةٌ وَقَدْ أَصَابَنَا مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ مَا لَمْ يَخْفَ عَلَيْكَ فَامْنُنْ عَلَيْنَا مَنَّ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ وَقَامَ خَطِيبُهُمْ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ صُرَدَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا فِي الْحَظَائِرِ مِنَ السَّبَايَا خَالِاتُكَ وَعَمَّاتُكَ وَحَوَاضِنُكَ اللَّاتِي كُنَّ يَكْفُلْنَكَ وَذَكَرَ كَلَامًا وَأَبْيَاتًا قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نِسَاؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكُمْ أَمْ أَمْوَالُكُمْ؟ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ خَيَّرْتَنَا بَيْنَ أَحْسَابِنَا وَبَيْنَ أَمْوَالِنَا أَبْنَاؤُنَا وَنِسَاؤُنَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَّا مَا كَانَ لِي وَلِبَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ وَإِذَا أَنَا صَلَّيْتُ بِالنَّاسِ فَقُومُوا وَقُولَوا إِنَّا نَسْتَشْفِعُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَبِالْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي أَبْنَائِنَا وَنِسَائِنَا سَأُعْطِيكُمْ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ وَأَسْأَلُ لَكُمْ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالنَّاسِ الظُّهْرَ قَامُوا فَقَالُوا مَا أَمَرَهُمْ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَّا مَا كَانَ لِي وَلِبَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ وَقَالَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا فَهُوَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ الْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ أَمَّا أَنَا وَبَنُو تَمِيمٍ فَلَا فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مِرْدَاسٍ السُّلَمِيُّ أَمَّا أَنَا وَبَنُو سُلَيْمٍ فَلَا فَقَالَتْ بَنُو سُلَيْمٍ بَلْ مَا كَانَ لَنَا فَهُوَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ بَدْرٍ أَمَّا أَنَا وَبَنُو فَزَارَةَ فَلَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَمْسَكَ مِنْكُمْ بِحَقِّهِ فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ سِتَّةُ فَرَائِضَ مِنْ أَوَّلِ فَيْءٍ نُصِيبُهُ فَرَدُّوا إِلَى النَّاسِ نِسَاءَهُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَحَدِيثُ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ فِي سَبْيِ هَوَازِنَ قَدْ مَضَى  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , fought the people of Khaybar until he forced them to take refuge in their fortresses. He conquered their land, crops, and palm trees. He made a peace treaty with them, stipulating that they would evacuate the land and leave behind their belongings. As for the Messenger of Allah, his share was yellow and white goods. They left behind a hidden stash of wealth and jewelry belonging to Huyayy ibn Akhtab, which he had carried with him to Khaybar when Nadir was evacuated. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , asked Huyayy's brother Huwayy, "What did Huyayy do with the goods he brought from Nadir?" He replied, "His expenses and expenses of war consumed them." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "The treaty is near and the wealth is greater than that." So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , handed the goods to Zubayr, who punished Huwayy with a beating. Before that, Huwayy had entered a ruin and said, "I have seen Huwayy wander around this ruin." So they went and searched, and they found the goods in the ruin. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , killed Hakim's sons, one of whom was the husband of Safiyyah bint Huwayy ibn Akhtab, and he took their women and children as captives. He distributed their wealth according to the agreement they violated. They wanted to stay in the land, fix it, and settle there. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and his companions did not have young men to take care of it, and they had no time to do so. So he gave them Khaybar on the condition that they would have half of the crops and palm trees, and whatever else appeared to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . Abdullah ibn Rawahah used to come to them every year and take their share, then he would give it back to them. They complained to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , about his harsh treatment, and they wanted to bribe him. He said, "O enemies of Allah, do you want to feed me unlawful things? By Allah, I came to you from the most beloved people to me, and you are the most hateful people to me, more hateful to me than monkeys and pigs. I am not biased against you. So they said, "With this, the heavens and earth are established." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saw a green mark on Safiyyah's body and asked her, "O Safiyyah, what is this green mark?" She said, "My head was on the stone of Ibn Hakim while I was sleeping, and I saw as if a moon fell into my lap, so I told him about it and he comforted me and said, 'I wish for a kingdom in Yathrib.'" The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , disliked Hakim because he killed her husband and her father, and he kept apologizing to her, saying, "Your father forced me to treat the Arabs unjustly, and he did this and that until I got rid of him. This was not my intention." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to give each of his wives 80 measures of dates and 20 measures of barley every year. But during the time of Umar ibn Al-Khattab, they cheated the Muslims and threw Ibn Umar from the top of a house. So they called out, "Whoever has a share of Khaybar, let him come and we will divide it among them." So Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, distributed it among those who had witnessed Khaybar from the people of Hudaybiyyah.

[Machine] I saw Umar ibn Al-Khattab before he was struck by the days in Medina. He stood with Hudhaifah ibn Al-Yaman and Uthman ibn Hunayf and said, "How have you two managed to bear the burden of the earth that it cannot bear?" They said, "We have carried it by a command that it can bear." Hudhaifah said, "If I were to carry it, it would be weakened." Uthman ibn Hunayf said, "I have carried it by a command that it can bear, without any great favor." Umar then said, "See that you have not carried the burden of the earth that it cannot bear." They said, "No." Umar said, "If Allah grants me safety, I will leave the widows of Iraq without needing any man after me." He said, "Only four things came upon him until he was struck." He said, "And between me and him, there is no one except Abdullah ibn Abbas in the morning." He said, "And he used to stand between the rows. If he saw any disorder among them, he would say, 'Stand still until there is no disorder among them.' Then he would proceed and say the takbir." He said, "And perhaps he would recite Surah Yusuf or An-Nahl or something similar in the first raka'a until the people gathered." He said, "And it was only that he would say the takbir." He said, "I heard him say, 'The dog has killed me or the dog has eaten me,' when he was stabbed. Then he flew out of the wound with a double-edged knife that would not pass by anyone to the right or left except that it would stab him, until he stabbed thirteen men and nine of them died. When he saw that, a Muslim man threw a cloak on him. When the assassin thought that he had taken hold of him, he slit his own throat." He said, "And Umar held the hand of Abdullah ibn Awf and brought him forward." He said, "Who will take care of Umar? He has seen what he has seen." He said, "Regarding the surroundings of the mosque, they did not know anything except that they had lost the voice of Umar while they were saying, 'Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah.' Abdul-Rahman ibn Awf led them in a light prayer. When they finished, Umar said, 'O Ibn Abbas, see who killed me.' He went for a while and then came back and said, 'The slave of Al-Mughirah killed him.' He said, 'Really?' After they all spoke with their tongues and prayed towards their qibla and performed the Hajj according to their rites, he was brought to his house. We then left with him." He said, "And it was as if the people had not been affected by any calamity before that day. Some were saying, 'There is no harm,' while others were saying, 'We fear for him.' So they brought some wine and he drank it, and it came out of his wound. Then they brought some milk and he drank it, and it came out of his wound. They recognized that he was dead, and he mentioned this incident in his will and in the command to consult each other."

[Machine] "Allah's Messenger ﷺ forbade the polytheistic Quraish from the agreement that He made with them on the day of Hudaybiyah, wherein Allah revealed what He decided between them. Urwah bin Zubair informed me that he heard Marwan bin Al-Hakam and Miswar bin Makhrama narrating about the Companions of Allah's Messenger ﷺ. They said that when the Messenger ﷺ appointed Suhail bin Amr to act as a scribe, Suhail bin Amr stipulated a condition to the Messenger ﷺ that none of us should come to you, even if they were upon your religion, except that you send them back to us. So the believers disliked this and they protested against it or used other words. Imam Ahmad, may Allah have mercy on him, said that our sheikh did not mention this statement and its narration is in a different version. They persisted, and so the Messenger ﷺ wrote to Abu Jandal that day and returned him to his father, Suhail bin Amr, and no one else among the men was returned during that time, even if they were Muslims. The believing women came and Umm Kulthum, the daughter of Uqbah bin Abu Mu'ayt, who had come out to the Messenger ﷺ that day while she was in bondage, (her family) came to ask the Messenger ﷺ to return her to them, but he did not return her to them due to what Allah revealed about them (the believing women) in the Qur'an: 'When believing women come to you, giving you a pledge (concerning their behavior and conduct under Islam), that they will not associate anything with Allah, nor steal, nor commit unlawful sexual intercourse, nor kill their children' (Al-Mumtahinah 10). Urwah said that 'Aishah informed me that Allah's Messenger ﷺ used to test them (the believing women) through this Ayah: 'O Prophet, when believing women come to you giving you a pledge…' (Al-Mumtahinah 12). Urwah said that 'Aishah said: whoever accepted this condition among them, the Messenger ﷺ would say to her, 'I have pledged allegiance to you with a word that I speak to you with, and by Allah, never has the hand of a woman been shaken in allegiance by mine.' He would only accept their pledge of allegiance by verbal agreement."

"عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: وَرَدتْ عَلَى عُمَرَ بنِ الْخَطَّابِ وَارِدَةٌ قَامَ مِنْهَا وَقَعَدَ وَتَغَيَّرَ وتربد وَجَمَع لَهَا أَصْحَابَ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ فَعَرَضَهَا عَلَيْهم، فَقَالَ: أَشِيرُوا عَلَىَّ، فَقَالُوا جَميعًا: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمؤمِنينَ أَنْتَ المفزع وأنت المنزع ، فَعَضِبَ عُمَرُ وقَالَ: اتَّقُوا الله وقُولُوا قُوْلًا سَدِيدًا يُصْلِحْ لَكُم أَعْمَالَكُمْ فَقالُوا: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمؤْمنينَ! مَا عِنْدَنَا مِمَّا تَسْأَلُ عَنْه شَىْءٌ فَقَالَ: أَمَا والله إِنِّى لأعرف أبا بجدتها، وابن بجدتها وأيْنَ مَنْزعُها فَقَالُوا: كأَنَّكَ تَعْنِى ابْنَ أَبِى طَالِبٍ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لله هُوَ وَهَلَ طفحت حُرَّةٌ بِمِثِلهِ وأبر عنه، انهضوا بنا إليه، فقالوا يا أمير المؤمنين إليه يأتيك، فَقَالَ: هيْهَاتَ هُنَاكَ شجنةٌ من بنى هاشم وَلحَمُهُ مِنَ الرَّسُولِ وَأَثَرَةٌ مَنْ عِلمٍ يُؤْتَى لَهَا وَلا تَأَتِى فِى بَيْتِهِ يُؤْتَى الحكمة فَاعْطِفُوا نَحْوَهُ فالفوه فِى حَائطٍ لَهُ وَهُوَ يَقْرأُ {أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَنْ يُتْرَكَ سُدًى} ويُرَدَّدُهَا وَيَبْكِى، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لِشُرَيْحٍ. حَدِّثْ أَبَا حَسَنِ باِلَّذِى حَدَّثْتَنَا بِهِ، فَقَالَ شُرَيْحٌ: كُنْتُ فِى مَجْلِسِ الْحُكْمِ فَأتَى هَذَا الرَّجُلُ فَذَكَرَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَوْدَعَهُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ حُرَّةً

"عَنْ ابن إسْحَاق، حَدَّثَنى مَعَبد بن كعْب بن مَالِك أَنَّ أَخَاهُ عَبد الله بن كَعْب حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أَباه كَعْب بن مَالِكٍ، وَكَانَ مِمَّن شَهِدَ الْعَقَبَةَ وَبَايَعَ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ بِهَا، قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا فِى حُجَّاجِ قَومنَا مِنَ الْمشرِكينَ وَقَد صَلَّينَا وَفَقِهْنَا، وَمَعَنَا الْبَراءُ بن مَعْرور كَبيرنَا وسَيَّدنَا، قَالَ الْبرَاء لَنَا: يَا هَؤلَاء فَدْ رَأَيْتُ أنْ لَا أَدَع هذه البنية مِنِّى بِظَهْرٍ - يَعْنِى الكَعْبَة، وَأَنْ أُصَلِّى إِلَيْهَا، فقُلْنَا وَالله مَا بَلَغنَا أَنَّ نَبِيَّنَا ﷺ يصلى إلى الشَّامِ وَمَا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نخَالِفَه،

فَقَالَ: إِنِّى لَمصَلٍ إِلَيْهَا فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: لَكِنَّا لَا نَفْعَلُ، فَكُنَّا إِذَا حَضَرتِ الصَّلَاةُ صَلَّيْنَا إِلَى الشَّامِ وَصَلَّى إِلَى الكَعْبَةِ حَتَّى قَدمْنَا مَكَّةَ، وَقَد كُنَّا عبْنَا عَلَيْهِ مَا صَنَعَ وَأَبَى إِلَّا الإقَامَةَ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا قدْمنَا مَكَّةَ، قَالَ: يَا بْنَ أَخِى انْطَلق إِلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ حَتَّى أسْأَلهُ عَمَّا صَنَعْتُ فِى سَفَرِى هَذَا فَإِنِّى وَالله قَدْ وَقَعَ فِى نَفْسِى مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ ولمَا رَأَيتُ مِن خِلافِكم إيَّاىَ فِيهِ، فَخَرَجْنَا نَسْأَلُ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ وَكُنَّا لَا نَعْرِفهُ وَلَم نَرَهُ قَبْل ذَلِكَ، فَدَخَلْنَا المَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا العَبَّاسُ جَالِسٌ وَرَسُول الله ﷺ مَعَه جَالِسٌ، فَسَلَّمنَا ثُم جَلَسْنَا إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ الْبَراءُ بن مَعْرُور: يَا نَبِىَّ الله إنِّى خَرجْتُ فِى سَفَرِى هَذَا، وَقَد هَدَانِى الله - ﷻ - للإِسْلَامِ، فَرَأيتُ أن لَا أَجْعَلَ هَذِه الْبِنْيَةَ مِنِّى بِظَهْرٍ، فَصَلَّيْتُ إِلَيْهَا، وَقدْ خَالَفَنِى أَصْحَابِى فِى ذَلِكَ، حتَّى وَقَعَ فِى نَفْسِى مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَمَا تَرَى يَا رَسُول الله؟ قَالَ: لَقَد كُنْتَ عَلَى قِبْلَةٍ لَوْ صَبَرتَ عَلَيْهَا، فَرَجَعَ الْبراءُ إِلى قبلَةِ رَسُول الله ﷺ فَصَلَّى مَعَنَا إِلَى الشَّامِ، قَالَ: وَأَهْلهُ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى إِلَى الكَعْبَةِ حَتَّى مَاتَ، وَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ كمَا قَالُوا نَحنُ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنْهُم، قَالَ وَخَرَجْنَا إِلَى الْحَجِّ فَوَاعَدَنَا رَسُولُ الله ﷺ الْعَقَبَةَ مِنْ أَوسَطِ أيَّام التَّشْرِيقِ، فَلَمَّا فَرغْنَا مِنَ الْحَجِّ اجْتَمْعنَا تِلْكَ اللَّيلَةَ بِالشِّعبِ نَنْتَظِرُ رسُولَ الله ﷺ فَجَاءَ وَمَعَه الْعَبَّاس فَتَكلَّم الْعَبَّاس فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: قَد سَمِعْنَا مَا قُلْتَ، فَتَكَلَّم يَا رسُول الله فَخُذ لنِفسكَ ولِرَبَّكَ مَا أَحْبَبْتَ، فَتَكَلَّمَ رَسُول الله ﷺ فَتَلَا الْقُرآنَ وَدَعَا إِلَى الله وَرَغَّبَ فِى الإِسْلَامِ، وقَالَ: أُبَايعكُم عَلَى أَنْ تَمْنَعُونى مِمَّا تَمنَعونَ مِنْهُ نِسَاءكُم وأَبنَاءكُم، فَأَخذَ الْبَرَاءُ بن مَعْرورٍ بِيَدهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: نَعَم وَالَّذِى بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَنَمْنَعُكَ مِمَّا نَمْنَع مِنْهُ أُزُرَنَا، فَبَايَعْنَا رَسُولَ الله ﷺ فَنَحنُ وَالله أَهْلُ الْحُرُوبِ وَأَهْلُ الْحَلَقَةِ وَرثْنَاهَا كَابِرًا عَنْ كَابِرٍ، قَالَ: فَاعْتَرض القَوْم وَالبَراءُ يكَلم رسُولَ الله ﷺ أَبُو الهَيْثم بن التيهَان حَلِيف بَنِى عَبد الله الأشَهْل، وكَانَ أَوَّل مَنْ ضَرَب عَلَى يَد رسَول الله ﷺ الْبَراء بن مَعْرُور ثُمَّ تَبايَعَ الْقَوْمُ".
