[Machine] In His saying, "And before it, you did not recite any scripture, nor did you inscribe it with your right hand." (Surah Al-Ankabut, 29:48). He (the Prophet Muhammad) said, "Allah's Messenger ﷺ did not read or write."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَمَا كُنْتَ تَتْلُو مِنْ قَبْلِهِ مِنْ كِتَابٍ وَلَا تَخُطُّهُ بِيَمِينِكَ} [العنكبوت 48] قَالَ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ وَلَا يَكْتُبُ  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said: 'We are an illiterate nation, we do not write or calculate. The month is like this and like this and like this,' and he folded his finger three times, meaning thirty. This Hadith is mentioned in Sahih Muslim from the narration of Shu'bah."  

النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّا أُمَّةٌ أُمِّيَّةٌ لَا نَكْتُبُ وَلَا نَحْسُبُ وَالشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَقَبَضَ إِصْبَعَهُ وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا يَعْنِي ثَلَاثِينَ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ  

When the Prophet ﷺ intended to perform the ʿUmra he sent a person to the people of Mecca asking their permission to enter Mecca. They stipulated that he would not stay for more than three days and would not enter it except with sheathed arms and would not preach (Islam) to any of them. So ʿAli bin Abi- Talib started writing the treaty between them. He wrote, "This is what Muhammad, Apostle of Allah has agreed to." The (Meccans) said, "If we knew that you (Muhammad) are the Messenger of Allah, then we would not have prevented you and would have followed you. But write, 'This is what Muhammad bin ʿAbdullah has agreed to..' " On that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By Allah, I am Muhammad bin ʿAbdullah, and, by Allah, I am Apostle of 'Allah." Messenger of Allah ﷺ used not to write; so he asked ʿAli to erase the expression of Apostle of Allah. On that ʿAli said, "By Allah I will never erase it." Allah's Apostle said (to ʿAli), "Let me see the paper." When ʿAli showed him the paper, the Prophet ﷺ erased the expression with his own hand. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ had entered Mecca and three days had elapsed, the Meccans came to ʿAli and said, "Let your friend (i.e. the Prophet) quit Mecca." ʿAli informed Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it and Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Yes," and then he departed. (Using translation from Bukhārī 3184)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَعْتَمِرَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ يَسْتَأْذِنُهُمْ لِيَدْخُلَ مَكَّةَ فَاشْتَرَطُوا عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يُقِيمَ بِهَا إِلَّا ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ وَلَا يَدْخُلَهَا إِلَّا بِجُلُبَّانِ السِّلَاحِ وَلَا يَدْعُو مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا قَالَ فَأَخَذَ يَكْتُبُ الشَّرْطَ بَيْنَهُمْ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ كَتَبَ هَذَا مَا قَاضَى عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ فَقَالُوا لَوْ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ لَمْ نَمْنَعْكَ وَلَبَايَعْنَاكَ وَلَكِنِ اكْتُبْ هَذَا مَا قَاضَى عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ أَنَا وَاللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَأَنَا وَاللهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ قَالَ وَكَانَ لَا يَكْتُبُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ امْحُ رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ لَا وَاللهِ لَا أَمْحَاهُ أَبَدًا قَالَ فَأَرِنِيهِ قَالَ فَأَرَاهُ إِيَّاهُ فَمَحَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ وَمَضَى الْأَجَلُ أَتَوْا عَلِيًّا ؓ فَقَالُوا مُرْ صَاحِبَكَ فَلْيَرْتَحِلْ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ عَلِيٌّ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَرْتَحِلُ  

[Machine] About Al-Bara', he mentioned the incident and mentioned in it that the Prophet ﷺ said, "O Ali! Erase the name of Allah's Messenger." Ali said, "By Allah, I will never erase you." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the book, even though he did not know how to write well. And in the narration of Yusuf ibn Abi Ishaq from his father from Al-Bara' in this story he said, "Show it to me, so I can see it." And he (the Prophet) erased it with his hand.  

عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ؓ فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثَ الْقَضِيَّةِ وَذَكَرَ فِيهِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ امْحُ رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ وَاللهِ لَا أَمْحُوكَ أَبَدًا فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْكِتَابَ وَلَيْسَ يُحْسِنُ يَكْتُبُ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ يُوسُفَ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ فِي هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَرِنِيهِ فَأَرَاهُ إِيَّاهُ فَمَحَاهُ بِيَدِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not die until he wrote and read. Mujalid mentioned that to me, and I mentioned it to Sha'bi, who said, "He is truthful. I heard from our companions mentioning that. This is a disconnected hadith with a chain of narrators that includes a group of weak and unknown narrators. And Allah knows best."  

مَا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى كَتَبَ وَقَرَأَ قَالَ مُجَالِدٌ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلشَّعْبِيِّ فَقَالَ قَدْ صَدَقَ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا يَذْكُرُونَ ذَلِكَ فَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُنْقَطِعٌ وَفِي رُوَاتِهِ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الضُّعَفَاءِ وَالْمَجْهُولِينَ وَاللهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ collected a poem, every verse except for one, advocating for what you desire, so that it would come true. Aisha said, "He did not say 'so that it may come true' in order to not ascribe it, causing it to become poetry." The sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "I only wrote it with this chain of narration in which some of them are unknown regarding their status. As for reciting it rhythmically, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say it."  

جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْتَ شِعْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا بَيْتًا وَاحِدًا تَفَاءَلْ بِمَا تَهْوَى يَكُنْ فَلَقَلَّمَا يُقَالُ لِشَيْءٍ كَانَ إِلَّا تَحَقَّقَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ تَحَقُّقَا؛ لِئَلَّا يُعْرِبَهُ فَيَصِيرَ شِعْرًا قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَلَمْ أَكْتُبْهُ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ وَفِيهِمْ مَنْ يُجْهَلُ حَالُهُ وَأَمَّا الرَّجَزُ فَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُهُ  

The Prophet ﷺ went out on a cold morning while the Muhajirin (emigrants) and the Ansar were digging the trench. The Prophet ﷺ then said, "O Allah! The real goodness is the goodness of the Here after, so please forgive the Ansar and the Muhajirin." They replied, "We are those who have given the Pledge of allegiance to Muhammad for to observe Jihad as long as we remain alive." (Using translation from Bukhārī 7201)   

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَدَاةٍ بَارِدَةٍ وَالْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالْأَنْصَارُ يَحْفِرُونَ الْخَنْدَقَ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنَّ الْخَيْرَ خَيْرُ الْآخِرَةِ فَاغْفِرْ لِلْأَنْصَارِ وَالْمُهَاجِرَةِ فَأَجَابُوهُ [البحر الرجز] نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ بَايَعُوا مُحَمَّدَا عَلَى الْجِهَادِ مَا بَقِينَا أَبَدَا  

I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day (of the battle) of the Trench carrying earth till the hair of his chest were covered with dust and he was a hairy man. He was reciting the following verses of ʿAbdullah (bin Rawaha): "O Allah, were it not for You, We would not have been guided, Nor would we have given in charity, nor prayed. So, bestow on us calmness, and when we meet the enemy. Then make our feet firm, for indeed, Yet if they want to put us in affliction, (i.e. want to fight against us) we would not (flee but withstand them)." The Prophet ﷺ used to raise his voice while reciting these verses. (See Hadith No. 432, Vol. 5). (Using translation from Bukhārī 3034)   

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ وَهُوَ يَنْقُلُ التُّرَابَ حَتَّى وَارَى التُّرَابَ شَعْرَ صَدْرِهِ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا كَثِيرَ الشَّعْرِ وَهُوَ يَرْتَجِزُ بِرَجَزِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَوَاحَةَ ؓ اللهُمَّ لَوْلَا أَنْتَ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا وَلَا تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلَا صَلَّيْنَا فَأَنْزِلَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا وَثَبِّتِ الْأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لَاقَيْنَا إِنَّ الْأَعْدَاءَ قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا وَإِنْ أَرَادُوا فِتْنَةً أَبَيْنَا يَرْفَعُ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to carry sand with us on the Day of Ahzab, and then he mentioned it.  

وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْقُلُ التُّرَابَ مَعَنَا يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَهُ  

[Machine] We were with the Prophet ﷺ in a cave when his finger got injured and he said, "Are you nothing but a bleeding finger? I have faced hardships in the cause of Allah."  

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي غَارٍ فَنُكِبَتْ أُصْبُعُهُ فَقَالَ هَلْ أَنْتِ إِلَّا أُصْبُعٌ دَمِيتِ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ مَا لَقِيتِ
