‘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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2719)   

عَوْفٌ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا خَالِدُ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَضَى بِالسَّلَبِ لِلْقَاتِلِ قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنِّي اسْتَكْثَرْتُهُ قُلْتُ لَتَرُدَّنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ أَوْ لَأُعَرِّفَنَّكَهَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبَى أَنْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ عَوْفٌ فَاجْتَمَعَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهِ قِصَّةَ الْمَدَدِيِّ وَمَا فَعَلَهُ خَالِدٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا خَالِدُ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَكْثَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا خَالِدُ رُدَّ عَلَيْهِ مَا أَخَذْتَ مِنْهُ قَالَ عَوْفٌ فَقُلْتُ دُونَكَ يَا خَالِدُ أَلَمْ أَفِ لَكَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ يَا خَالِدُ لَا تَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ هَلْ أَنْتُمْ تَارِكُو لِيَّ أُمَرَائِي لَكُمْ صَفْوَةُ أَمْرِهِمْ وَعَلَيْهِمْ كَدَرُهُ؟ قَالَ الْوَلِيدُ سَأَلْتُ ثَوْرًا عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ؟ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ نَحْوَهُ  

[Machine] 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."

[Machine] 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  

[Machine] 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  

[Machine] 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).  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَنَتَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْعَتَمَةِ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأَخِيرَةِ بَعْدَمَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ شَهْرًا يَقُولُ فِي قُنُوتِهِ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا الْوَلِيدُ هُوَ ابْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ثنا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ قَنَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي صَلَاةِ الْعَتَمَةِ شَهْرًا يَقُولُ فِي قُنُوتِهِ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمِثْلِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَزَادَ فِي آخِرِهِ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَلَمْ يَدْعُ لَهُمْ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ وَمَا تُرَاهُمْ قَدْ قَدِمُوا  

[Machine] 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.'"  

سَأَلْتُ عَلْقَمَةَ هَلْ كَانَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ؟ قَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ أَنَا سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَقُلْتُ هَلْ شَهِدَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ؟ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَفَقَدْنَاهُ فَالْتَمَسْنَاهُ فِي الْأَوْدِيَةِ وَالشِّعَابِ فَقُلْنَا اسْتُطِيرَ أَوِ اغْتِيلَ فَبِتْنَا بِشَرِّ لَيْلَةٍ بَاتَ بِهَا قَوْمٌ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا إِذَا هُوَ جَاءَ مِنْ قِبَلِ حِرَاءَ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَدْنَاكَ فَطَلَبْنَاكَ فَلَمْ نَجِدْكَ فَبِتْنَا بِشَرِّ لَيْلَةٍ بَاتَ بِهَا قَوْمٌ قَالَ أَتَانِي دَاعِي الْجِنِّ فَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنَ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ بِنَا فَأَرَانَا آثَارَهُمْ وَآثَارَ نِيرَانِهِمْ وَسَأَلُوهُ الزَّادَ فَقَالَ كُلُّ عَظْمٍ ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ يَقَعُ فِي أَيْدِيكُمْ أَوْفَرَ مَا يَكُونُ لَحْمًا وَكُلُّ بَعْرَةٍ عَلَفٌ لِدَوَابِّكُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَسْتَنْجُوا بِهِمَا فَإِنَّهُمَا طَعَامُ إِخْوَانِكُمْ  

[Machine] 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  

[Machine] 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."
