Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent out ten spies under the command of ʿAsim bin Thabit Al-Ansari, the grand-father of ʿAsim bin ʿUmar Al-Khattab. When they reached (a place called) Al-Hadah between 'Usfan and Mecca, their presence was made known to a sub-tribe of Hudhail called Banu Lihyan. So they sent about one hundred archers after them. The archers traced the footsteps (of the Muslims) till they found the traces of dates which they had eaten at one of their camping places. The archers said, "These dates are of Yathrib (i.e. Medina)," and went on tracing the Muslims' footsteps. When ʿAsim and his companions became aware of them, they took refuge in a (high) place. But the enemy encircled them and said, "Come down and surrender. We give you a solemn promise and covenant that we will not kill anyone of you." ʿAsim bin Thabit said, "O people! As for myself, I will never get down to be under the protection of an infidel. O Allah! Inform your Prophet about us." So the archers threw their arrows at them and martyred ʿAsim. Three of them came down and surrendered to them, accepting their promise and covenant and they were Khubaib, Zaid bin Ad-Dathina and another man. When the archers got hold of them, they untied the strings of the arrow bows and tied their captives with them. The third man said, "This is the first proof of treachery! By Allah, I will not go with you for I follow the example of these." He meant the martyred companions. The archers dragged him and struggled with him (till they martyred him). Then Khubaib and Zaid bin Ad-Dathina were taken away by them and later on they sold them as slaves in Mecca after the event of the Badr battle. The sons of Al-Harit bin ʿAmr bin Naufal bought Khubaib for he was a person who had killed (their father) Al-Hari bin ʿAmr on the day (of the battle) of Badr. Khubaib remained imprisoned by them till they decided unanimously to kill him. One day Khubaib borrowed from a daughter of Al-Harith, a razor for shaving his pubic hair, and she lent it to him. By chance, while she was inattentive, a little son of hers went to him (i.e. Khubaib) and she saw that Khubaib had seated him on his thigh while the razor was in his hand. She was so much terrified that Khubaib noticed her fear and said, "Are you afraid that I will kill him? Never would I do such a thing." Later on (while narrating the story) she said, "By Allah, I had never seen a better captive than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I saw him eating from a bunch of grapes in his hand while he was fettered with iron chains and (at that time) there was no fruit in Mecca." She used to say," It was food Allah had provided Khubaib with." When they took him to Al-Hil out of Mecca sanctuary to martyr him, Khubaib requested them. "Allow me to offer a two-rakʿat prayer." They allowed him and he prayed two rakʿat and then said, "By Allah! Had I not been afraid that you would think I was worried, I would have prayed more." Then he (invoked evil upon them) saying, "O Allah! Count them and kill them one by one, and do not leave anyone of them"' Then he recited: "As I am martyred as a Muslim, I do not care in what way I receive my death for Allah's Sake, for this is for the Cause of Allah. If He wishes, He will bless the cut limbs of my body." Then Abu Sarva, 'Ubqa bin Al-Harith went up to him and killed him. It was Khubaib who set the tradition of praying for any Muslim to be martyred in captivity (before he is executed). The Prophet ﷺ told his companions of what had happened (to those ten spies) on the same day they were martyred. Some Quraish people, being informed of ʿAsim bin Thabit's death, sent some messengers to bring a part of his body so that his death might be known for certain, for he had previously killed one of their leaders (in the battle of Badr). But Allah sent a swarm of wasps to protect the dead body of ʿAsim, and they shielded him from the messengers who could not cut anything from his body.

Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a Sariya of ten men as spies under the leadership of ʿAsim bin Thabit al-Ansari, the grandfather of ʿAsim bin ʿUmar Al-Khattab. They proceeded till they reached Hadaa, a place between 'Usfan, and Mecca, and their news reached a branch of the tribe of Hudhail called Bani Lihyan. About two-hundred men, who were all archers, hurried to follow their tracks till they found the place where they had eaten dates they had brought with them from Medina. They said, "These are the dates of Yathrib (i.e. Medina), "and continued following their tracks When ʿAsim and his companions saw their pursuers, they went up a high place and the infidels circled them. The infidels said to them, "Come down and surrender, and we promise and guarantee you that we will not kill any one of you" ʿAsim bin Thabit; the leader of the Sariya said, "By Allah! I will not come down to be under the protection of infidels. O Allah! Convey our news to Your Prophet. Then the infidels threw arrows at them till they martyred ʿAsim along with six other men, and three men came down accepting their promise and convention, and they were Khubaib-al-Ansari and Ibn Dathina and another man So, when the infidels captured them, they undid the strings of their bows and tied them. Then the third (of the captives) said, "This is the first betrayal. By Allah! I will not go with you. No doubt these, namely the martyred, have set a good example to us." So, they dragged him and tried to compel him to accompany them, but as he refused, they killed him. They took Khubaid and Ibn Dathina with them and sold them (as slaves) in Mecca (and all that took place) after the battle of Badr. Khubaib was bought by the sons of Al-Harith bin 'Amir bin Naufal bin ʿAbd Manaf. It was Khubaib who had killed Al-Harith bin 'Amir on the day (of the battle of) Badr. So, Khubaib remained a prisoner with those people. Narrated Az-Zuhri: 'Ubaidullah bin 'Iyyad said that the daughter of Al-Harith had told him, "When those people gathered (to kill Khubaib) he borrowed a razor from me to shave his pubes and I gave it to him. Then he took a son of mine while I was unaware when he came upon him. I saw him placing my son on his thigh and the razor was in his hand. I got scared so much that Khubaib noticed the agitation on my face and said, 'Are you afraid that I will kill him? No, I will never do so.' By Allah, I never saw a prisoner better than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I saw him eating of a bunch of grapes in his hand while he was chained in irons, and there was no fruit at that time in Mecca." The daughter of Al-Harith used to say, "It was a boon Allah bestowed upon Khubaib." When they took him out of the Sanctuary (of Mecca) to kill him outside its boundaries, Khubaib requested them to let him offer two rakʿat (prayer). They allowed him and he offered Two rakʿat and then said, "Hadn't I been afraid that you would think that I was afraid (of being killed), I would have prolonged the prayer. O Allah, kill them all with no exception." (He then recited the poetic verse):-- "I being martyred as a Muslim, Do not mind how I am killed in Allah's Cause, For my killing is for Allah's Sake, And if Allah wishes, He will bless the amputated parts of a torn body" Then the son of Al Harith killed him. So, it was Khubaib who set the tradition for any Muslim sentenced to death in captivity, to offer a two-rakʿat prayer (before being killed). Allah fulfilled the invocation of ʿAsim bin Thabit on that very day on which he was martyred. The Prophet ﷺ informed his companions of their news and what had happened to them. Later on when some infidels from Quraish were informed that ʿAsim had been killed, they sent some people to fetch a part of his body (i.e. his head) by which he would be recognized. (That was because) ʿAsim had killed one of their chiefs on the day (of the battle) of Badr. So, a swarm of wasps, resembling a shady cloud, were sent to hover over ʿAsim and protect him from their messenger and thus they could not cut off anything from his flesh.

Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode a donkey, equipped with a thick cloth-covering made in Fadak and was riding behind him. He was going to pay visit to Saʿd bin Ubada in Banu Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj; and this incident happened before the battle of Badr. The Prophet ﷺ passed by a gathering in which ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present, and that was before ʿAbdullah bin Ubai embraced Islam. Behold in that gathering there were people of different religions: there were Muslims, pagans, idol-worshippers and Jews, and in that gathering ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha was also present. When a cloud of dust raised by the donkey reached that gathering, ʿAbdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his garment and then said, "Do not cover us with dust." Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ greeted them and stopped and dismounted and invited them to Allah (i.e. to embrace Islam) and recited to them the Holy Qur'an. On that, ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Saluil said, "O man ! There is nothing better than that what you say. If it is the truth, then do not trouble us with it in our gatherings. Return to your mount (or residence) and if somebody comes to you, relate (your tales) to him." On that ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha said, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle! Bring it (i.e. what you want to say) to us in our gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing one another till they were on the point of fighting with one another. The Prophet ﷺ kept on quietening them till they became quiet, whereupon the Prophet rode his animal (mount) and proceeded till he entered upon Saʿd bin Ubada. The Prophet ﷺ said to Saʿd, "Did you not hear what 'Abu Hub-b said?" He meant ʿAbdullah bin Ubai. "He said so-andso." On that Saʿd bin Ubada said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Excuse and forgive him, for by Him Who revealed the Book to you, Allah brought the Truth which was sent to you at the time when the people of this town (i.e. Medina) had decided unanimously to crown him and tie a turban on his head (electing him as chief). But when Allah opposed that (decision) through the Truth which Allah gave to you, he (i.e. ʿAbdullah bin Ubai) was grieved with jealously. and that caused him to do what you have seen." So Messenger of Allah ﷺ excused him, for the Prophet ﷺ and his companions used to forgive the pagans and the people of Scripture as Allah had ordered them, and they used to put up with their mischief with patience. Allah said: "And you shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the Scripture before you and from the pagans........'(3.186) And Allah also said:--"Many of the people of the Scripture wish if they could turn you away as disbelievers after you have believed, from selfish envy.." (2.109) So the Prophet ﷺ used to stick to the principle of forgiveness for them as long as Allah ordered him to do so till Allah permitted fighting them. So when Messenger of Allah ﷺ fought the battle of Badr and Allah killed the nobles of Quraish infidels through him, Ibn Ubai bin Salul and the pagans and idolaters who were with him, said, "This matter (i.e. Islam) has appeared (i.e. became victorious)." So they gave the pledge of allegiance (for embracing Islam) to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and became Muslims.

That Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode over a donkey covered with a Fadakiya (velvet sheet) and Usama was riding behind him. He was visiting Saʿd bin 'Ubada (who was sick) in the dwelling place of Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj and this incident happened before the battle of Badr. They proceeded till they passed by a gathering in which ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present., and that was before ʿAbdullah bin Ubat embraced Islam. In that gathering there were Muslims, pagan idolators and Jews, and among the Muslims there was ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha. When a cloud of dust raised by (the movement of ) the animal covered that gathering, ʿAbdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his garment and said, "Do not cover us with dust." Messenger of Allah ﷺ greeted them, stopped, dismounted and invited them to Allah (i.e. to embrace Islam) and recited to them the Holy Qur'an. On that ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul said to him, "O man! There is nothing better than what you say, if it is the truth. So do not trouble us with it in our gatherings, but if somebody comes to you, you can preach to him." On that ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha said "Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Call on us in our gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing one another till they were about to fight with one another. Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept on quietening them till all of them became quiet, and then Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode his animal and proceeded till he entered upon Saʿd bin 'Ubada. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Saʿd! Didn't you hear what Abu Habab said?" (meaning ʿAbdullah bin Unbar). "He said so-and-so." Saʿd bin Ubada said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Let my father be sacrificed for you ! Excuse and forgive him for, by Him Who revealed to you the Book, Allah sent the Truth which was revealed to you at the time when the people of this town had decided to crown him (ʿAbdullah bin Ubai) as their ruler. So when Allah had prevented that with the Truth He had given you, he was choked by that, and that caused him to behave in such an impolite manner which you had noticed." So Messenger of Allah ﷺ excused him. (It was the custom of) Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions to excuse the pagans and the people of the scripture (Christians and Jews) as Allah ordered them, and they used to be patient when annoyed (by them). Allah said: 'You shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the Scripture before you.....and from the pagans (3.186) He also said: 'Many of the people of the scripture wish that if they could turn you away as disbelievers after you have believed. .... (2.109) So Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to apply what Allah had ordered him by excusing them till he was allowed to fight against them. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ had fought the battle of Badr and Allah killed whomever He killed among the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of Quraish, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions had returned with victory and booty, bringing with them some of the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of the Quraish as captives. ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul and the pagan idolators who were with him, said, "This matter (Islam) has now brought out its face (triumphed), so give Messenger of Allah ﷺ the pledge of allegiance (for embracing Islam.)". Then they became Muslims.

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).

When we came to Madinah we ate from its fruits and did not feel comfortable in it, and we became ill. The Prophet ﷺ was trying to find out about the well of Badr, and when we heard that the mushrikeen had come, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ marched to Badr, and Badr was a well. We got there before the mushrikeen and we found two of their men, a man from Quraish and a freed slave of “Uqbah bin Abi Muʿait. As for the Qurashi, he managed to escape, but we caught the freed slave of ‘Uqbah and started asking him: How many are the people? He said: By Allah, they are great in number and powerful. When he said that, the Muslims began to beat him and they brought him to the Prophet ﷺ, who said: How many are the people? He said: By Allah, they are great in number and powerful. The Prophet ﷺ tried hard to make him tell him how many they were, but he refused. Then the Prophet ﷺ asked him: How many camels do they slaughter? He said: Ten each day. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: They are one thousand; each camel is for one hundred men. Then a shower of rain fell on us at night and we rushed to seek shelter beneath the trees and leather shields, sheltering from the rain. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spent the night calling upon his Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, saying: “O Allah, if You cause this band to be destroyed, You will never be worshipped.” When dawn came, he called out: ʿPrayer, O slaves of Allah!” And the people came from beneath the trees and shields and the Messenger of Allah led us in prayer and encouraged us to fight. Then he said: ʿThe army of Quraish is beneath this red outcrop of the mountain.ʿ When the people drew close to us, and we stood in ranks facing one another, we saw one of their men, riding a red camel of his, going around among the people. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿO ʿAli, call Hamzah for meʿ - as he was the closest of them to the mushrikeen - and said ʿWho is the one on the red camel and what is he saying to them?ʿ Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿIf there is anyone among the people who is enjoining good, then perhaps it is the one on the red camel.ʿ Hamzah came and said: He is ʿUtbah bin Rabeeʿah, and he is telling them not to fight; he is saying to them: O people, I can see people who are going to fight to the death and you will never be able to harm them, because it will cost you too dear to do so. O people, put the blame on me and say: ʿUtbah bin Rabeeʿah is a coward, although you know that I am not the most cowardly among you. Abu Jahl heard that and said: Are you saying this? By Allah, if anyone else said this I would have insulted him; you are filled with fear, ‘Utbah said: Do you mean me, O you with the whistling rear end (i.e., one who breaks wind a great deal because of fear)? Today you will know which of us is the coward. Then ‘Utbah and his brother Shaibah and his son al-Waleed stepped forward in a display of courage and said: Who will come out to fight in single combat? Six young men of the Ansar stepped forward, but ʿUtbah said: We do not want these; let some of our cousins of Banu ‘Abdul-Muttalib come out. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿGet up, O Ali, get up, O Hamzah, get up, O ʿUbaidah bin al-Harith bin ‘Abdul-Muttalib.ʿ Allah caused ʿUtbah and Shaibah, the two sons of Rabeeʿah, and al-Waleed bin ‘Utbah to be killed and ‘Ubaidah was wounded. We killed seventy of them and captured seventy. A short Ansari man brought al-Abbas bin ʿAbdul-Muttalib as a captive, and al-ʿAbbas said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, by Allah, this is not the one who captured me; I was captured by a bold man who was one of the most handsome of people, who was riding a piebald horse, but I do not see him among the people. The Ansari said: I captured him, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: ʿBe quiet! Allah, may He be exalted, supported you with a noble angel.ʿ ʿAli ؓ said: We took prisoners, and from among Banu ʿAbdul-Muttalib, we captured al-ʿAbbas, ‘Aqeel and Nawfal bin al-Harith.

Abu Bakr bought a saddle from ‘Azib for thirteen dirhams, then Abu Bakr said to 'Azib. Tell al-Bara to carry it to my house. He said: No, not until you tell us what happened when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and you were with him. Abu Bakr said: We started our journey at the beginning of the night and we hastened for one day and one night, until it was midday. I looked into the distance to see whether there was anywhere to seek shade, and I saw a rock, so I went to it and it had a little shade. I smoothed the ground for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and spread a garment of camel hair for him, and said: Lie down and rest, O Messenger of Allah. So he lay down, and I went out to see if I could spot anyone looking for us. Then I saw a shepherd and I said: Who do you belong to, O boy? He said: To a man of Quraish. He mentioned his name and I recognised it. I said: Is there any milk in your sheep? He said: Yes | said: Will you milk some for me? He said: Yes. I told him to do that, so he caught a sheep, then I told him to brush the dust from its teat, then to brush the dust off his hands. I had a small vessel with me on the neck of which was a cloth. He milked a little bit of milk for me and I poured it into the vessel until it cooled down. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When I reached him, he had already woken up. I said: Drink, O Messenger of Allah. He drank until I was pleased, then I said: Is it time to move on? So we moved on and the people were coming after us but none of them caught up with us except Suraqah bin Malik bin Ju'shum, who was riding a horse of his, I said: O Messenger of Allah, someone has caught up with us. He said: ʿDo not be afraid, for Allah is with us.ʿ When he got close to us, and there was no more between us and him then the length of a spear or two or three spears, I said: O Messenger of Allah, this pursuer has caught up with us, and I wept. He said: ʿWhy are you weeping?ʿ I said: I am not weeping for myself; rather I am weeping for you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed against him [the pursuer] and said: “O Allah, protect us from him by whatever means You will.” Then his horse's legs sank into the solid ground up to its belly, and he fell off it. He said: O Muhammad, I know that this is because of you; pray to Allah to save me from my predicament, and by Allah I shall divert away from you any one who is behind me of those who are seeking you. Here is my quiver, take one arrow. You are going to pass by some camels and sheep of mine in such and such a place, take whatever you need from thern. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿI have no need of it.“ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for him and he was released, and he went back to his companions. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I continued on our way until we came to Madinah, where the people met him. They came out on the road and on the roofs, and a lot of servants and children crowded the road saying: Allahu Akbar, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has come, Muhammad has come. The people disputed as to who he would stay with. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿTonight I will stay with Banun-Najjar, the maternal uncles of 'Abdul-Muttalib, to honour them thereby.” The next morning, he went where he was instructed. Al-Bara' bin 'Azib said: The first of the Muhajireen to come to us was Mus'ab bin 'Umair, the brother of Banu 'Abdud-Dar. Then Ibn Umm Maktoom, the blind man and brother of Banu Fihr, came to us. Then 'Umar bin al-Khattab, came to us with twenty riders and we said: What happened to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: He is behind me. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and Abu Bakr was with him. Al-Bara said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not come until I had read some soorahs from al-Mufassal [Al-Mufassal is that portion of the Qur'an which goes from Qaf to an-Nas]. Isra'eel said: al-Bara' was one of the Ansar from Banu Harithah.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , sent a reconnaissance mission and appointed 'Asim ibn Thabit, who was the grandfather of 'Asim ibn 'Umar, as their leader. They set out until they reached a place between 'Usfan and Makkah known as "Bani Lihyan". They followed their tracks with a group of about one hundred men led by Ramm, and they pursued them until they reached a resting place where they found dates that were provisions from Madinah. They said, "These are dates from Yathrib." They followed their tracks until they caught up with them. When 'Asim ibn Thabit and his companions sensed them, they sought refuge in a rugged place, and when the people approached them, they surrounded them and said, "We have made a covenant and agreement with you that if you come to us, we will not kill any of you." 'Asim ibn Thabit said, "As for me, I do not enter into a treaty with a disbeliever." They said, "Fight them." So they fought 'Asim and killed him along with seven others. Only Hubayb ibn 'Adi and Zayd ibn ad-Dathinah remained. They entered into a covenant and agreement with them. When they felt secure from them, they tied their hands with their own bowstrings. The third man with them said, "This is the first act of treachery. I refuse to accompany them." So they killed him. Then they departed with Hubayb ibn 'Adi and Zayd ibn ad-Dathinah until they sold them in Makkah. They sold Hubayb to the sons of Al-Harith ibn 'Amir ibn Nawfal, who had killed Al-Harith on the Day of Badr. Hubayb stayed with them as a prisoner until they decided to kill him. He borrowed a razor from the daughter of Al-Harith to prepare himself with it. She said, "I inadvertently failed to restrain my son from approaching it, and he fell upon it until it reached him." She said, "Have no fear that I will kill him. I wouldn't kill him. You will not find a better captive than Hubayb. I saw him eating ripe grapes when Makkah had no ripe fruits at that time. And he is bound in iron, but his sustenance is only provided by Allah." Then they took him out of the sanctuary to kill him. He asked them, "Allow me to pray two Rak'ahs." He prayed the two Rak'ahs, and then said, "If you did not see my eagerness to die, I would increase in it by the Will of Allah." Hubayb was the first to offer two Rak'ahs before being killed. Then 'Uqbah ibn Al-Harith went toward him and killed him. The people of Quraysh sent word to 'Asim to bring them a part of his body that they could recognize. He was a great man among their elite who had been killed on the Day of Badr. So Allah sent upon them a cloud from behind, shielding them from his messengers. They were unable to harm him in any way.

Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent out ten spies under the command of ʿAsim bin Thabit Al-Ansari, the grand-father of ʿAsim bin ʿUmar Al-Khattab. When they reached (a place called) Al-Hadah between 'Usfan and Mecca, their presence was made known to a sub-tribe of Hudhail called Banu Lihyan. So they sent about one hundred archers after them. The archers traced the footsteps (of the Muslims) till they found the traces of dates which they had eaten at one of their camping places. The archers said, "These dates are of Yathrib (i.e. Medina)," and went on tracing the Muslims' footsteps. When ʿAsim and his companions became aware of them, they took refuge in a (high) place. But the enemy encircled them and said, "Come down and surrender. We give you a solemn promise and covenant that we will not kill anyone of you." ʿAsim bin Thabit said, "O people! As for myself, I will never get down to be under the protection of an infidel. O Allah! Inform your Prophet about us." So the archers threw their arrows at them and martyred ʿAsim. Three of them came down and surrendered to them, accepting their promise and covenant and they were Khubaib, Zaid bin Ad-Dathina and another man. When the archers got hold of them, they untied the strings of the arrow bows and tied their captives with them. The third man said, "This is the first proof of treachery! By Allah, I will not go with you for I follow the example of these." He meant the martyred companions. The archers dragged him and struggled with him (till they martyred him). Then Khubaib and Zaid bin Ad-Dathina were taken away by them and later on they sold them as slaves in Mecca after the event of the Badr battle. The sons of Al-Harit bin ʿAmr bin Naufal bought Khubaib for he was a person who had killed (their father) Al-Hari bin ʿAmr on the day (of the battle) of Badr. Khubaib remained imprisoned by them till they decided unanimously to kill him. One day Khubaib borrowed from a daughter of Al-Harith, a razor for shaving his pubic hair, and she lent it to him. By chance, while she was inattentive, a little son of hers went to him (i.e. Khubaib) and she saw that Khubaib had seated him on his thigh while the razor was in his hand. She was so much terrified that Khubaib noticed her fear and said, "Are you afraid that I will kill him? Never would I do such a thing." Later on (while narrating the story) she said, "By Allah, I had never seen a better captive than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I saw him eating from a bunch of grapes in his hand while he was fettered with iron chains and (at that time) there was no fruit in Mecca." She used to say," It was food Allah had provided Khubaib with." When they took him to Al-Hil out of Mecca sanctuary to martyr him, Khubaib requested them. "Allow me to offer a two-rakʿat prayer." They allowed him and he prayed two rakʿat and then said, "By Allah! Had I not been afraid that you would think I was worried, I would have prayed more." Then he (invoked evil upon them) saying, "O Allah! Count them and kill them one by one, and do not leave anyone of them"' Then he recited: "As I am martyred as a Muslim, I do not care in what way I receive my death for Allah's Sake, for this is for the Cause of Allah. If He wishes, He will bless the cut limbs of my body." Then Abu Sarva, 'Ubqa bin Al-Harith went up to him and killed him. It was Khubaib who set the tradition of praying for any Muslim to be martyred in captivity (before he is executed). The Prophet ﷺ told his companions of what had happened (to those ten spies) on the same day they were martyred. Some Quraish people, being informed of ʿAsim bin Thabit's death, sent some messengers to bring a part of his body so that his death might be known for certain, for he had previously killed one of their leaders (in the battle of Badr). But Allah sent a swarm of wasps to protect the dead body of ʿAsim, and they shielded him from the messengers who could not cut anything from his body. (Using translation from Bukhārī 3989)

[Machine] So they began and started speaking, and we do not know what they said. He said, then he came shaking his garment and saying, "Alas and woe to them!" They fell into a man who possessed more than ten virtues that no one else had. They fell into a man whom the Prophet ﷺ said, "I will send a man who will never be humiliated by Allah. He loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him." So he became ambitious for her, and he said, "Where is Ali?" They said, "He is at the grinding mill." He said, "No one of them can grind." He came while he was blind, barely able to see, and he blew into his eyes, and then he shook the flag three times and gave it to him. Ali came with Safiya bint Huyay, and Ibn Abbas said, "Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a man with Surah Al-Tawbah, and then he sent Ali after him. He took it from him and said, 'No one should take it except a man who is like me, and I am like him.' Ibn Abbas said, "The Prophet ﷺ asked his cousins, 'Who among you would be loyal to me in this life and the Hereafter?' Ali was sitting with them, and he said, 'Oh, Messenger of Allah, I will be loyal to you in this life and the Hereafter.' He said, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ approached a man from among them and said, 'Who among you would be loyal to me in this life and the Hereafter?' They refused, so he said to Ali, 'You are my ally in this life and the Hereafter.' Ibn Abbas said, 'Ali was the first person to believe after Khadijah.' He said, 'Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took off his robe and put it on Ali, Fatimah, Hasan, and Husain, and said, 'Indeed, Allah wants to remove impurity from you, O people of the household, and purify you completely.' Ibn Abbas said, 'And Ali sold himself, so he wore the robe of the Prophet ﷺ and then slept in his place.' Ibn Abbas said, 'And the polytheists used to throw stones at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Abu Bakr and Ali came, and Ali was sleeping. He said, 'And Abu Bakr thought that he was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' He said, 'O Messenger of Allah!' Ali said to him, 'Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has gone towards the Ma'oon well, so he followed him.' He said, 'Then Abu Bakr left, and Ali entered the cave with him.' He said, 'And Ali started throwing stones just as the Prophet ﷺ used to do while he was relieving himself, with his head wrapped in a cloth that he would not remove until morning. Then he uncovered his head, and they said, 'You are lowly.' And your companion did not uncover his head while we were throwing stones at him, and you uncover your head even though we object to it.' Ibn Abbas said, 'And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out in the battle of Tabuk with the people. Ali said to him, 'Shall I go out with you?' He said, 'No.' So Ali wept, and he said to him, 'Are you not satisfied with being in the position of Aaron to Moses, except that no prophet will come after me?' Ibn Abbas said, 'And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Umar when he said, 'Allow me to kill him,' he said, 'And you were doing that. And who knows, perhaps Allah has looked upon the people of Badr and said, 'Do whatever you want.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions continued on the year of the conquest until they reached Marr Al-Zuhra with ten thousand Muslims. Sulaym and Muzaynah were there, and in every tribe there was a number of people who had embraced Islam. The Muhajirun (emigrants) and the Ansar (helpers) were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and none of them stayed behind. The news about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became unknown to the Quraysh, and they did not receive any information about what he was doing. Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith and Abdullah ibn Abi Umayyah ibn al-Mughirah met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Thaniyyat al-Aqabah on the way from Makkah to Madinah, and they sought permission to enter. Umm Salamah spoke to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is your cousin, the son of your aunt, and your son-in-law." He replied, "I have no need for them. As for my cousin, he has violated my honour, and as for my aunt's son and my son-in-law, he was the one who said to me in Makkah what he said." When the news reached them, Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith had a son who said, "By Allah, the Messenger of Allah will either give permission for me, or I will take his son by the hand, and we will go away and die of thirst or hunger." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard about this, he sent for them, and they entered upon him. Abu Sufyan began reciting poetry about his Islam and his apology for what had happened in the past. He said, "By your life, on the day I carry a flag, the horses of al-Lat will defeat the horses of Muhammad, even if the dark night lasts long. This is the time for truth to guide and direct me. So tell Ta'if that I do not seek to fight them, and tell Ta'if that I am ready for them, guided by someone other than myself, who has guided me to Allah. I will flee quickly and strive to fight against Muhammad, even if I am not related to him. They are a group of people who do not follow their desires, even if they are intelligent and logical." He continued, "I desire for them to be pleased with me, and I will not leave them until I have been guided in every sitting. I was not in the army that gained victory, nor did my tongue bring any good, nor did my hands touch any tribe that came from distant lands, with arrows and swords. Indeed, the one you expelled and insulted will strive hard to seek revenge, not restrained by custom." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard Abu Sufyan recite poetry about himself, he struck him in the chest and said, "You are the one who expelled and insulted me." Ibn Ishaq mentioned, "The mother of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died while she was visiting her relatives from the Banu Najjar tribe."

[Machine] Zaid ibn Sa'na went out of the chambers and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ accompanied him. A man approached them on his riding beast, resembling a Bedouin. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, the people of Busra, a village of Banu Fulan, have embraced Islam and entered into the folds of Islam. I used to visit them and inform them that if they embraced Islam, they would be blessed with abundance of provision, but they have been afflicted with a year of drought, hardship, and famine. O Messenger of Allah, I fear that they might renounce Islam out of greed, just as they had entered it out of greed. If you see fit, please send them some provisions to help them. The Prophet ﷺ looked at me, and Ali ibn Abi Talib was also present. He said, 'O Messenger of Allah, there is nothing left (to give).' Zaid ibn Sa'na approached the Prophet and said, 'O Muhammad, can you sell me a known quantity of dates from the wall of Banu Fulan until a specified time?' He replied, 'No, O Jew, but I will sell you a known quantity of dates until a specified time, without mentioning the wall of Banu Fulan.' I said, 'Alright, then sell it to me, so I pledged and handed him over eighty mithqal of gold in exchange for a known quantity of dates until a specified time. The man took the gold from me and he said, 'Deal fairly with them and assist them with it.' Zaid ibn Sa'na said, 'When the time before the due date was only a day or two, I went to him and took hold of the collar of his shirt and cloak, and looked at him with an angry face. I said to him, 'Why don't you fulfill my right, O Muhammad? By Allah, your kinsmen, the Banu Abd al-Muttalib, are known for their poor administration of justice.' At that point, Umar's eyes were rolling in his head, like a rotating celestial body, and then he struck me in the chest with his gaze, saying, 'O enemy of Allah! Are you saying things about the Messenger of Allah that I'm hearing, and doing things that I'm seeing?' By He who sent him with the truth, if I were not concerned about his strength, I would have struck your head with my sword.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was looking at Umar, calmly and with a smiling face, and then he said, 'O Umar, both he and I were more in need of people commanding us to perform our duties well, and advising him to follow me well. Take him, O Umar, and give him his right, and add twenty sa' to it as a quantity of dates.' I asked, 'What is this increase, O Umar?' He said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has ordered me to add to it, an increase in proportion to your complaint.' I said, 'Do you know who I am, O Umar?' He said, 'No, who are you?' I said, 'Zaid ibn Sa'na.' Ink said, 'The scribe?' I said, 'Yes, the scribe. What did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ call me to do with him that I did not do? And what did I say to him that I did not say?' I said to him, 'O Umar, whenever he had any characteristic of prophethood, I recognized it in the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when I looked at him, except for two things that I did not mention to anyone. I said, "Does his forbearance precede his ignorance, and does his extreme ignorance overwhelm him except with forbearance?" I have experienced both of those, so I bear witness, O Umar, that I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, and with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad ﷺ as my prophet. And I bear witness to you that a portion of my wealth, and indeed I have more wealth than them, I give as charity for the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ .' Umar said, 'Or for some of them, for you have no room for all of them.' I said, 'Or for some of them.' Then Zaid returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, and I believed in him, and confirmed him, and pledged allegiance to him, and witnessed many things with him.' Then Zaid passed away during the Battle of Tabuk, while facing the enemy." May Allah have mercy on Zaid.

We went to Jabir b. Abdullah and he began inquiring about the people (who had gone to see him) till it was my turn. I said: I am Muhammad b. 'Ali b. Husain. He placed his hand upon my head and opened my upper button and then the lower one and then placed his palm on my chest (in order to bless me), and I was, during those days, a young boy, and he said: You are welcome, my nephew. Ask whatever you want to ask. And I asked him but as he was blind (he could not respond to me immediately), and the time for prayer came. He stood up covering himself in his mantle. And whenever he placed its ends upon his shoulders they slipped down on account of being short (in size). Another mantle was, however, lying on the clothes rack near by. And he led us in the prayer. I said to him: Tell me about the Hajj of Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him). And he pointed with his hand nine, and then stated: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in (Medina) for nine years but did not perform Hajj, then he made a public announcement in the tenth year to the effect that Messenger of Allah ﷺ was about to perform the Hajj. A large number of persons came to Medina and all of them were anxious to follow the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) and do according to his doing. We set out with him till we reached Dhu'l-Hulaifa. Asma' daughter of Umais gave birth to Muhammad b. Abu Bakr. She sent message to the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) asking him: What should 1 do? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Take a bath, bandage your private parts and put on Ihram. The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) then prayed in the mosque and then mounted al-Qaswa (his she-camel) and it stood erect with him on its back at al-Baida'. And I saw as far as I could see in front of me but riders and pedestrians, and also on my right and on my left and behind me like this. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was prominent among us and the (revelation) of the Holy Qur'an was descending upon him. And it is he who knows (its true) significance. And whatever he did, we also did that. He pronounced the Oneness of Allah (saying):" Labbaik,0 Allah, Labbaik, Labbaik. Thou hast no partner, praise and grace is Thine and the Sovereignty too; Thou hast no partner." And the people also pronounced this Talbiya which they pronounce (today). The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) did not reject anything out of it. But the Messenger of Allah (May peace. be upon him) adhered to his own Talbiya. Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) said: We did not have any other intention but that of Hajj only, being unaware of the Umra (at that season), but when we came with him to the House, he touched the pillar and (made seven circuits) running three of them and walking four. And then going to the Station of Ibrahim, he recited:" And adopt the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer." And this Station was between him and the House. My father said (and I do not know whether he had made a mention of it but that was from Allah's Apostle [May peace be upon him] that he recited in two rak'ahs:" say: He is Allah One," and say:" Say: 0 unbelievers." He then returned to the pillar (Hajar Aswad) and kissed it. He then went out of the gate to al-Safa' and as he reached near it he recited:" Al-Safa' and al-Marwa are among the signs appointed by Allah," (adding: ) I begin with what Allah (has commanded me) to begin. He first mounted al-Safa' till he saw the House, and facing Qibla he declared the Oneness of Allah and glorified Him, and said:" There is no god but Allah, One, there is no partner with Him. His is the Sovereignty. to Him praise is due. and He is Powerful over everything. There is no god but Allah alone, Who fulfilled His promise, helped His servant and routed the confederates alone." He then made supplication in the course of that saying such words three times. He then descended and walked towards al-Marwa, and when his feet came down in the bottom of the valley, he ran, and when he began to ascend he walked till he reached al-Marwa. There he did as he had done at al-Safa'. And when it was his last running at al-Marwa he said: If I had known beforehand what I have come to know afterwards, I would not have brought sacrificial animals and would have performed an 'Umra. So, he who among you has not the sacrificial animals with him should put off Ihram and treat it as an Umra. Suraqa b. Malik b. Ju'sham got up and said: Messenger of Allah, does it apply to the present year, or does it apply forever? Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) intertwined the fingers (of one hand) into another and said twice: The 'Umra has become incorporated in the Hajj (adding):" No, but for ever and ever." 'All came from the Yemen with the sacrificial animals for the Prophet (May peace be upon him) and found Fatimah (Allah be pleased with her) to be one among those who had put off Ihram and had put on dyed clothes and had applied antimony. He (Hadrat'Ali) showed disapproval to it, whereupon she said: My father has commanded me to do this. He (the narrator) said that 'Ali used to say in Iraq: I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ showing annoyance at Fatimah for what she had done, and asked the (verdict) of Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding what she had narrated from him, and told him that I was angry with her, whereupon he said: She has told the truth, she has told the truth. (The Prophet then asked 'Ali): What did you say when you undertook to go for Hajj? I ('Ali) said: 0 Allah, I am putting on Ihram for the same purpose as Thy Messenger has put it on. He said: I have with me sacrificial animals, so do not put off the Ihram. He (Jabir) said: The total number of those sacrificial animals brought by 'Ali from the Yemen and of those brought by the Apostle ﷺ was one hundred. Then all the people except the Apostle ﷺ and those who had with them sacrificial animals, put off Ihram, and got their hair clipped; when it was the day of Tarwiya (8th of Dhu'l-Hijja) they went to Mina and put on the Ihram for Hajj and the Messenger of Ailah ﷺ rode and led the noon, afternoon, sunset 'Isha' and dawn prayers. He then waited a little till the sun rose, and commanded that a tent of hair should be pitched at Namira. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then set out and the Quraish did not doubt that he would halt at al-Mash'ar al-Haram (the sacred site) as the Quraish used to do in the pre-Islamic period. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, however, passed on till he came to 'Arafa and he found that the tent had been pitched for him at Namira. There he got down till the sun had passed the meridian; he commanded that al-Qaswa should be brought and saddled for him. Then he came to the bottom of the valley, and addressed the people saying: Verily your blood, your property are as sacred and inviolable as the sacredness of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this town of yours. Behold! Everything pertaining to the Days of Ignorance is under my feet completely abolished. Abolished are also the blood-revenges of the Days of Ignorance. The first claim of ours on blood-revenge which I abolish is that of the son of Rabi'a b. al-Harith, who was nursed among the tribe of Sa'd and killed by Hudhail. And the usury of she pre-Islamic period is abolished, and the first of our usury I abolish is that of 'Abbas b. 'Abd al-Muttalib, for it is all abolished. Fear Allah concerning women! Verily you have taken them on the security of Allah, and intercourse with them has been made lawful unto you by words of Allah. You too have right over them, and that they should not allow anyone to sit on your bed whom you do not like. But if they do that, you can chastise them but not severely. Their rights upon you are that you should provide them with food and clothing in a fitting manner. I have left among you the Book of Allah, and if you hold fast to it, you would never go astray. And you would be asked about me (on the Day of Resurrection), (now tell me) what would you say? They (the audience) said: We will bear witness that you have conveyed (the message), discharged (the ministry of Prophethood) and given wise (sincere) counsel. He (the narrator) said: He (the Holy Prophet) then raised his forefinger towards the sky and pointing it at the people (said):" O Allah, be witness. 0 Allah, be witness," saying it thrice. (Bilal then) pronounced Adhan and later on Iqama and he (the Holy Prophet) led the noon prayer. He (Bilal) then uttered Iqama and he (the Holy Prophet) led the afternoon prayer and he observed no other prayer in between the two. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then mounted his camel and came to the place of stay, making his she-camel al-Qaswa, turn towards the side where there we are rocks, having the path taken by those who went on foot in front of him, and faced the Qibla. He kept standing there till the sun set, and the yellow light had somewhat gone, and the disc of the sun had disappeared. He made Usama sit behind him, and he pulled the nosestring of Qaswa so forcefully that its head touched the saddle (in order to keep her under perfect control), and he pointed out to the people with his right hand to be moderate (in speed), and whenever he happened to pass over an elevated tract of sand, he slightly loosened it (the nose-string of his camel) till she climbed up and this is how he reached al-Muzdalifa. There he led the evening and 'Isha prayers with one Adhan and two Iqamas and did not glorify (Allah) in between them (i. e. he did not observe supererogatory rak'ahs between Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then lay down till dawn and offered the dawn prayer with an Adhan and Iqama when the morning light was clear. He again mounted al-Qaswa, and when he came to al-Mash'ar al-Haram, he faced towards Qibla, supplicated Him, Glorified Him, and pronounced His Uniqueness (La ilaha illa Allah) and Oneness, and kept standing till the daylight was very clear. He then went quickly before the sun rose, and seated behind him was al-Fadl b. 'Abbas and he was a man having beautiful hair and fair complexion and handsome face. As the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) was moving on, there was also going a group of women (side by side with them). Al-Fadl began to look at them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed his hand on the face of Fadl who then turned his face to the other side, and began to see, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned his hand to the other side and placed it on the face of al-Fadl. He again turned his face to the other side till he came to the bottom of Muhassir. 1680 He urged her (al-Qaswa) a little, and, following the middle road, which comes out at the greatest jamra, he came to the jamra which is near the tree. At this be threw seven small pebbles, saying Allah-o-Akbar while throwing every one of them in a manner in which the small pebbles are thrown (with the help of fingers) and this he did in the bottom of the valley. He then went to the place of sacrifice, and sacrificed sixty-three (camels) with his own hand. Then he gave the remaining number to 'All who sacrificed them, and he shared him in his sacrifice. He then commanded that a piece of flesh from each animal sacrificed should be put in a pot, and when it was cooked, both of them (the Prophet and Hadrat 'All) took some meat out of it and drank its soup. The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) again rode and came to the House, and offered the Zuhr prayer at Mecca. He came to the tribe of Abd al-Muttalib, who were supplying water at Zamzam, and said: Draw water. O Bani 'Abd al-Muttalib; were it not that people would usurp this right of supplying water from you, I would have drawn it along with you. So they handed him a basket and he drank from it.

[Machine] "He (referring to Ali) has arrived in the city along with the people of Abiyyat from your tribe. And we have commanded them to surrender, so divide it among them. So I said, 'O Amir al-Mu'minin (Commander of the Faithful), order someone else to do that.' He replied, 'Take it, O man.' He said, 'While I was in this condition, their leader came and spoke to me kindly. He said, 'This is Uthman, Abdul Rahman bin Auf, Saad bin Abi Waqqas, and Zubair bin al-Awwam. I do not know if Talhah is there or not, or should they seek your permission on behalf of anyone?' He said, 'Give them permission.' He said, 'Then he waited for an hour. Then he came and said, 'Abbas and Ali seek permission to come to you.' He said, 'Give them permission.' When Abbas came in, he said, 'O Amir al-Mu'minin, decide between me and this person (Ali).' They both immediately began to quarrel about the property that Allah had bestowed upon His Messenger from the wealth of Banu al-Nadhir. The people said, 'Decide between them, O Amir al-Mu'minin, and relieve each of them from their opponent, for their dispute has been going on for too long.' Umar said, 'I adjure the two of you by Allah, Whose permission the heavens and the earth need for their existence, do you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "We do not leave behind any inheritance, whatever we leave is for charity"?'They said, 'Indeed, he said that.' Then he repeated to them the same words. They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Then I inform you about this surplus. Indeed, Allah, the Exalted, allotted something specifically to His Prophet ﷺ that He did not give to anyone else. He said, "And what Allah gave as booty to His Messenger from them - you did not spur for it [in horse] or for camel - any acquisition [ajfa] [as that of war booty] is exclusively for the Messenger - Allah's pleasure be upon him. And you have expended no small [effort] or burdened ‘to force ] in horse] but Allah has endeared to His Messenger and has hastened an union between the Muhajireen [Emigrants] and the Ansaar [Helpers] who supported him." (Quran, 59:6) This surplus of the booty was specifically for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and, I swear by Allah, you did not get any of it, nor did you have any preference over it. It was distributed among you and spent on you, until what remained was what remains (with me) from the money. He would spend on his dependents for a year, and sometimes a year's provisions would hold him back, and then he would treat whatever remained as the property of Allah. When Allah took away His Messenger ﷺ , Abu Bakr said, 'I am the successor of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ after him, so I will do in it what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr did.' Then it came to me after Abu Bakr for two years during my period of leadership, so I did in it what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr did. And when you came to me, both of you came to me, Abbas seeking his share of inheritance from his nephew, and Ali asking me for his wife's inheritance. So I said to both of you, 'I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "We do not leave behind any inheritance, whatever we leave is for charity."' Then it occurred to me that I should give it to both of you. So I took your pledge and oath with Allah that you would act in it as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr did. When I took it, you told me to give it to you based on something other than that, and by Him in Whose Hand is my soul, Who raises the heavens and lowers the mountains, I will not decide between you in this matter except with this judgment. If you both cannot do it (i.e., settle the matter), then hand it over to me.' So Ali prevailed over him and it remained with Ali. Then it was in the hands of Hasan bin Ali, then in the hands of Husain bin Ali, then in the hands of Ali bin Husain, then in the hands of Al-Hasan bin Hasan, then in the hands of Zaid bin Hasan. Ma'mar said: Then it was in the hands of Abdullah bin Hasan."

[Machine] We were a people of merchants, and war had besieged us between us and the Messenger of Allah until our wealth was destroyed. When a ceasefire was made between us and the Messenger of Allah, we did not feel safe with our wealth. So I went out with a group from Quraysh, heading towards Syria, where our trade was. I arrived there during the time when Heraclius appeared. He detained those who opposed him from Persia and confiscated their cross, which they had seized from him. When Heraclius heard this news from them and learned that his cross had been saved for him, he was overjoyed and thanked Allah. When Heraclius returned to him what he had returned for him to pray in the holy house, the path was extended for him with rugs and scented with musk. When he reached Jerusalem and completed his prayer, with him were his staff and the bishops of the Romans. The Messenger of Allah’s letter arrived for him, carried by Dhihya ibn Khalifa al-Kalbi, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. From Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, to Heraclius, the great leader of the Romans, peace be upon whoever follows guidance. To proceed, submit and you will be safe. Submit and Allah will give you twice your reward. But if you turn away, then the sin of the disbelievers will be upon you. Muhammad ibn Ishaq said that Ibn Shihab narrated to him that the bishops of the Christians said, "I met him (Heraclius) during the time of 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan and he claimed that he knew about the affair of the Messenger of Allah and Heraclius. His intellect mentioned that when he received the Messenger of Allah's letter. he placed it between his two thighs and waist. Then he wrote to a man in Rome who used to recite from the Hebrew what he recited, mentioning his affair and describing his state. With this news that had come to him, he wrote to the companion of the Roman asking him to inform Heraclius that this was the Prophet that they had been awaiting, with no doubt about him. So they followed him and believed in him, and Heraclius ordered the bishops of the Romans to bring him the crosses of the Romans. They gathered them for him in a pillowcase, which was carried on the gates, and then he inspected them from above and appreciated them, for they feared for their own selves. They said, 'O Romans, I have gathered you for news. This man has sent me a letter inviting me to his religion, and by Allah, this is the man that we have been anticipating, and we find mention of him in our scriptures. So come, let us follow him and believe in him, and he will grant us our worldly needs as well as the hereafter.' So they prostrated before him, and he ordered the opening of the gates, so they opened for them and they left.

[Machine] Zaid bin Sa'na went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day from the chambers, and with him was Ali bin Abi Talib. Then a man came to him riding a camel like a Bedouin, and he said: "O Messenger of Allah, the people of the village of Banu Fulan have embraced Islam and entered into Islam, and I have told them that if they embrace Islam, provision will come to them in abundance. However, they have been afflicted with a year of drought, hardship, and scarcity of rain. So, I fear, O Messenger of Allah, that they will leave Islam out of greed just as they entered it out of greed. If you see fit to send something to them that will help them, then do so." Then the Messenger of Allah glanced at a man beside him, whom I think was Ali, and said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, there is nothing left of it." So, Zaid bin Sa'na approached him and said: "O Muhammad, can you sell me some dates for a known time in the wall of Banu Fulan for such and such a period?" He responded: "No, O Jew, but I will sell you some dates for a known time for such and such a period, and do not mention the wall of Banu Fulan." So, I said, "Yes," then he took my hand and I abandoned what I was doing. I gave him eighty mithqals of gold in known dates for such and such a period, and the man accepted them and said: "Do justice to them and announce it to them." Zaid bin Sa'na said: "So, when two or three days remained before the appointed time, the Messenger of Allah went out and Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman came out with him in a group of his companions. So, when he finished the funeral prayer, and came close to a wall to sit down, I went to him and took hold of the edges of his shirt and his cloak, and I looked at him with a stern face. I said to him, "Will you not fulfill my right, O Muhammad? By Allah, I know your clan, the Banu Abd al-Muttalib, very well. Rather, I have known you through my association with you. I looked at Umar, and his eyes were rolling in his head like a revolving wheel. Then he cast a quick glance at me with his eye and said: "O enemy of Allah! Do you say to the Messenger of Allah what I hear and do what I see? By the One Who sent him with the truth, had I not feared that I would miss out on something, I would have struck you on the head with this sword of mine." The Messenger of Allah remained silent, looking at Umar calmly and with a sweet smile on his face. Then he said: "O Umar, he and I were in more need of something other than this. You should have commanded me to do well, and commanded him to follow well. O Umar, go to him and give him his right, and add twenty sa's of dates to the place where they were kept." Zaid said: "So Umar went with me and gave me my right and added twenty sa's of dates to the place where they were kept. I said: "What is this increase, O Umar?" He said: "The Messenger of Allah has ordered me to increase it to the place where it was kept." I asked him, "Do you know me, O Umar?" He said, "No." I said, "What led you to treat the Messenger of Allah as you did?" He asked, "O Umar, whenever something occurred to him from among the signs of Prophethood, I recognized it in his face when I looked at it, except for two signs that I did not tell him about which his forbearance outweighed his ignorance, nor would an increase in his ignorance cause his forbearance to decrease. I have informed him of both of them, and I bear witness to you, O Umar, that I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, Islam as my religion, and Muhammad as my Prophet. And I bear witness to you that half of my wealth, even though most of it comes in the form of charity given to the Ummah of Muhammad." Umar said, "Or to some of them, for it is not suitable for all of them." I said, "Or to some of them." So Umar and Zaid returned to the Messenger of Allah, and Zaid said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. I believed in him, confirmed him, followed him, and witnessed many things with him." Then he died

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).

Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a Sariya of ten men as spies under the leadership of ʿAsim bin Thabit al-Ansari, the grandfather of ʿAsim bin ʿUmar Al-Khattab. They proceeded till they reached Hadaa, a place between 'Usfan, and Mecca, and their news reached a branch of the tribe of Hudhail called Bani Lihyan. About two-hundred men, who were all archers, hurried to follow their tracks till they found the place where they had eaten dates they had brought with them from Medina. They said, "These are the dates of Yathrib (i.e. Medina), "and continued following their tracks When ʿAsim and his companions saw their pursuers, they went up a high place and the infidels circled them. The infidels said to them, "Come down and surrender, and we promise and guarantee you that we will not kill any one of you" ʿAsim bin Thabit; the leader of the Sariya said, "By Allah! I will not come down to be under the protection of infidels. O Allah! Convey our news to Your Prophet. Then the infidels threw arrows at them till they martyred ʿAsim along with six other men, and three men came down accepting their promise and convention, and they were Khubaib-al-Ansari and Ibn Dathina and another man So, when the infidels captured them, they undid the strings of their bows and tied them. Then the third (of the captives) said, "This is the first betrayal. By Allah! I will not go with you. No doubt these, namely the martyred, have set a good example to us." So, they dragged him and tried to compel him to accompany them, but as he refused, they killed him. They took Khubaid and Ibn Dathina with them and sold them (as slaves) in Mecca (and all that took place) after the battle of Badr. Khubaib was bought by the sons of Al-Harith bin 'Amir bin Naufal bin ʿAbd Manaf. It was Khubaib who had killed Al-Harith bin 'Amir on the day (of the battle of) Badr. So, Khubaib remained a prisoner with those people. Narrated Az-Zuhri: 'Ubaidullah bin 'Iyyad said that the daughter of Al-Harith had told him, "When those people gathered (to kill Khubaib) he borrowed a razor from me to shave his pubes and I gave it to him. Then he took a son of mine while I was unaware when he came upon him. I saw him placing my son on his thigh and the razor was in his hand. I got scared so much that Khubaib noticed the agitation on my face and said, 'Are you afraid that I will kill him? No, I will never do so.' By Allah, I never saw a prisoner better than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I saw him eating of a bunch of grapes in his hand while he was chained in irons, and there was no fruit at that time in Mecca." The daughter of Al-Harith used to say, "It was a boon Allah bestowed upon Khubaib." When they took him out of the Sanctuary (of Mecca) to kill him outside its boundaries, Khubaib requested them to let him offer two rakʿat (prayer). They allowed him and he offered Two rakʿat and then said, "Hadn't I been afraid that you would think that I was afraid (of being killed), I would have prolonged the prayer. O Allah, kill them all with no exception." (He then recited the poetic verse):-- "I being martyred as a Muslim, Do not mind how I am killed in Allah's Cause, For my killing is for Allah's Sake, And if Allah wishes, He will bless the amputated parts of a torn body" Then the son of Al Harith killed him. So, it was Khubaib who set the tradition for any Muslim sentenced to death in captivity, to offer a two-rakʿat prayer (before being killed). Allah fulfilled the invocation of ʿAsim bin Thabit on that very day on which he was martyred. The Prophet ﷺ informed his companions of their news and what had happened to them. Later on when some infidels from Quraish were informed that ʿAsim had been killed, they sent some people to fetch a part of his body (i.e. his head) by which he would be recognized. (That was because) ʿAsim had killed one of their chiefs on the day (of the battle) of Badr. So, a swarm of wasps, resembling a shady cloud, were sent to hover over ʿAsim and protect him from their messenger and thus they could not cut off anything from his flesh.

[Machine] Al-Khattab, al-Abbas, and Ali bin Abi Talib were arguing about the Prophet's wealth. Umar said, "The wealth of Banu Nadeer was what Allah gave to his Messenger without the Muslims contributing any horses or weapons. It belonged exclusively to the Messenger of Allah, who spent it on his family for a year. Whatever was left was used for horses and weapons in the cause of Allah. After the death of the Prophet, Abu Bakr became its guardian, just as the Messenger of Allah had appointed him. Then I became its guardian, just as Abu Bakr had appointed me. Then you both asked me to give it to you, and I gave it to you on the condition that you use it for the same purposes as the Messenger of Allah had used it. But now you come to me arguing amongst yourselves, wanting me to give half to each of you. Do you want me to make a judgment that is different from what I have already ruled between you? By the One in whose hand is the life of the heavens and the earth, I will not make a judgment different from that. If you are incapable of fulfilling its conditions, then return it to me, and I will suffice you both." Ash-Shafi'i said, "Sufyan told me that he did not hear it directly from Az-Zuhri, but Amr bin Dinar told him about it, and I asked, 'Did he narrate it as you have explained?' and Sufyan said, 'Yes.'"  

الْخَطَّابِ ؓ وَالْعَبَّاسُ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ يَخْتَصِمَانِ إِلَيْهِ فِي أَمْوَالِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ كَانَتْ أَمْوَالُ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِمَّا لَمْ يُوجِفْ عَلَيْهِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ بِخَيْلٍ وَلَا رِكَابٍ فَكَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ خَالِصًا دُونَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُنْفِقُ مِنْهَا عَلَى أَهْلِهِ نَفَقَةَ سَنَةٍ فَمَا فَضَلَ جَعَلَهُ فِي الْكُرَاعِ وَالسِّلَاحِ عُدَّةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَلِيَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ ؓ بِمِثْلِ مَا وَلِيَهَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ وَلِيتُهَا بِمِثْلِ مَا وَلِيَهَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ ؓ ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُمَانِي أَنْ أُوَلِّيَكُمَاهَا فَوَلَّيْتُكُمَاهَا عَلَى أَنْ تَعْمَلَا فِيهَا بِمِثْلِ مَا وَلِيَهَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ وَلِيَهَا بِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ وَلِيتُهَا بِهِ فَجِئْتُمَانِي تَخْتَصِمَانِ أتُرِيدَانِ أَنْ أَدْفَعَ إِلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُما نِصْفًا أتُرِيدَانِ مِنِّي قَضَاءً غَيْرَ مَا قَضَيْتُ بِهِ بَيْنَكُمَا أَوَّلًا فَلَا وَالَّذِي بِإِذْنِهِ تَقُومُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ لَا أَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمَا قَضَاءً غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنْ عَجَزْتُمَا عَنْهَا فَادْفَعَاهَا إِلِيَّ أَكْفِيكُمَاهَا قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ فَقَالَ لِي سُفْيَانُ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنَ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَلَكِنْ أَخْبَرَنِيهِ عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قُلْتُ كَمَا قَصَصْتَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

While I was at home, the sun rose high and it got hot. Suddenly the messenger of ʿUmar bin Al- Khattab came to me and said, "The chief of the believers has sent for you." So, I went along with him till I entered the place where ʿUmar was sitting on a bedstead made of date-palm leaves and covered with no mattress, and he was leaning over a leather pillow. I greeted him and sat down. He said, "O Mali! Some persons of your people who have families came to me and I have ordered that a gift should be given to them, so take it and distribute it among them." I said, "O chief of the believers! I wish that you order someone else to do it." He said, "O man! Take it." While I was sitting there with him, his doorman Yarfa' came saying, "ʿUthman, ʿAbdur-Rahman bin ʿAuf, Az-Zubair and Saʿd bin Abi Waqqas are asking your permission (to see you); may I admit them?" ʿUmar said, "Yes", So they were admitted and they came in, greeted him, and sat down. After a while Yarfa' came again and said, "May I admit ʿAli and ʿAbbas?" ʿUmar said, "yes." So, they were admitted and they came in and greeted (him) and sat down. Then ʿAbbas said, "O chief of the believers! Judge between me and this (i.e. ʿAli)." They had a dispute regarding the property of Bani An-Nadir which Allah had given to His Apostle as Fai. The group (i.e. ʿUthman and his companions) said, "O chief of the believers! Judge between them and relieve both of them front each other." ʿUmar said, "Be patient! I beseech you by Allah by Whose Permission the Heaven and the Earth exist, do you know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Our (i.e. prophets') property will not be inherited, and whatever we leave, is Sadaqa (to be used for charity),' and Messenger of Allah ﷺ meant himself (by saying "we'')?" The group said, "He said so." ʿUmar then turned to ʿAli and ʿAbbas and said, "I beseech you by Allah, do you know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said so?" They replied, " He said so." ʿUmar then said, "So, I will talk to you about this matter. Allah bestowed on His Apostle with a special favor of something of this Fai (booty) which he gave to nobody else." ʿUmar then recited the Holy Verses: "What Allah bestowed as (Fai) Booty on his Apostle (Muhammad) from them --- for this you made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry: But Allah gives power to His Apostles over whomever He will 'And Allah is able to do all things." 9:6) ʿUmar added "So this property was especially given to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but, by Allah, neither did he take possession of it and leave your, nor did he favor himself with it to your exclusion, but he gave it to all of you and distributed it amongst you till this property remained out of it. Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to spend the yearly expenses of his family out of this property and used to keep the rest of its revenue to be spent on Allah 's Cause. Allah 's Apostle kept on doing this during all his lifetime. I ask you by Allah do you know this?" They replies in the affirmative. ʿUmar then said to ʿAli and ʿAbbas. "I ask you by Allah, do you know this?" ʿUmar added, "When Allah had taken His Prophet unto Him, 'Abu Bakr said, 'I am the successor of Messenger of Allah ﷺ so, Abu Bakr took over that property and managed it in the same way as Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do, and Allah knows that he was true, pious and rightlyguided, and he was a follower of what was right. Then Allah took Abu Bakr unto Him and I became Abu Bakr's successor, and I kept that property in my possession for the first two years of my Caliphate, managing it in the same way as Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do and as Abu Bakr used to do, and Allah knows that I have been true, pious, rightly guided, and a follower of what is right. Now you both (i.e. 'Ah and ʿAbbas) came to talk to me, bearing the same claim and presenting the same case; you, ʿAbbas, came to me asking for your share from your nephew's property, and this man, i.e. ʿAli, came to me asking for his wife's share from her father's property. I told you both that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Our (prophets') properties are not to be inherited, but what we leave is Sadaqa (to be used for charity).' When I thought it right that I should hand over this property to you, I said to you, 'I am ready to hand over this property to you if you wish, on the condition that you would take Allah's Pledge and Convention that you would manage it in the same way as Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to, and as Abu Bakr used to do, and as I have done since I was in charge of it.' So, both of you said (to me), 'Hand it over to us,' and on that condition I handed it over to you. So, I ask you by Allah, did I hand it over to them on this condition?" The group aid, "Yes." Then ʿUmar faced ʿAli and ʿAbbas saying, "I ask you by Allah, did I hand it over to you on this condition?" They said, "Yes. " He said, " Do you want now to give a different decision? By Allah, by Whose Leave both the Heaven and the Earth exist, I will never give any decision other than that (I have already given). And if you are unable to manage it, then return it to me, and I will do the job on your behalf." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3094)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Abdullah ibn Jahsh to a palm tree and told him to stay there until he brought news of Quraish. He did not command him to fight, and this was during the sacred month. He wrote him a letter before informing him of his destination, saying "Go out with your companions until you have traveled for two days, then open your letter and see what I have commanded you in it, and act accordingly. Do not force anyone from your companions to go with you." When he had traveled for two days, he opened the letter and found that he was to continue until he reached Nakhla and brought us news of Quraish. He said to his companions when he read the letter aloud, "Whoever among you desires martyrdom, come with me, for I am going to fulfill the command of the Messenger of Allah. And whoever dislikes that among you, let him return, for the Messenger of Allah has forbidden me from forcing anyone to go with me." So the people went with him until they reached Buhran, and Saad bin Abi Waqqas and Utbah bin Ghazwan lagged behind, searching for their lost camel. The rest of the group continued until they reached Nakhla. Along the way, they encountered Amr bin Al-Hadrami and Al-Hakam bin Kayssan and Uthman and Al-Mughirah bin Abdullah, who were with them for a trade journey. They had come with a shipment of dates and raisins from Ta'if. When the group saw them, Uqba bin Abu Mu'ayt, who had shaved his head, said, "There is no harm on you from them." The people of Quraish caught up with them on the last day of Rajab and said, "If you kill them, you will be killing them in the sacred month. And if you leave them, they will enter Makkah tonight and you will miss them." So the group unanimously decided to kill them. Waqid bin Abdullah At-Tamimi threw a spear at Amr bin al-Hadrami and killed him, and Uthman bin Abdullah and Al-Hakam bin Kayssan were captured. Al-Mughirah managed to escape and led the enemy to the Muslims. They seized the caravan, and brought it to the Messenger of Allah, who said to them, "By Allah, I did not order you to fight in the sacred month." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ detained the captives and the caravan, and did not take anything from it. When the Messenger of Allah said to them what he said, they thought that he had killed them, and their Muslim brethren severely reprimanded them. When the news reached Quraish, they said, "Muhammad has spilled blood in the sacred month, and has taken wealth and captured men and has desecrated the sacred month." So Allah revealed in this regard, "They ask you about the sacred month - about fighting therein. Say, 'Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allah and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Haram and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of Allah. And fitnah [persecution] is greater than killing" [Quran 2:217]. When this Ayah was revealed, the Messenger of Allah released the captives and the caravan as ransom. The Muslims said, "Do we have hope that it would be a battle?" So Allah revealed about them, "Indeed, those who have believed and those who have emigrated" [Quran 2:218] until the end of the Ayah. They were eight, their leader being the ninth, Abdullah bin Jahsh.

Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode a donkey, equipped with a thick cloth-covering made in Fadak and was riding behind him. He was going to pay visit to Saʿd bin Ubada in Banu Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj; and this incident happened before the battle of Badr. The Prophet ﷺ passed by a gathering in which ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present, and that was before ʿAbdullah bin Ubai embraced Islam. Behold in that gathering there were people of different religions: there were Muslims, pagans, idol-worshippers and Jews, and in that gathering ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha was also present. When a cloud of dust raised by the donkey reached that gathering, ʿAbdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his garment and then said, "Do not cover us with dust." Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ greeted them and stopped and dismounted and invited them to Allah (i.e. to embrace Islam) and recited to them the Holy Qur'an. On that, ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Saluil said, "O man ! There is nothing better than that what you say. If it is the truth, then do not trouble us with it in our gatherings. Return to your mount (or residence) and if somebody comes to you, relate (your tales) to him." On that ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha said, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle! Bring it (i.e. what you want to say) to us in our gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing one another till they were on the point of fighting with one another. The Prophet ﷺ kept on quietening them till they became quiet, whereupon the Prophet rode his animal (mount) and proceeded till he entered upon Saʿd bin Ubada. The Prophet ﷺ said to Saʿd, "Did you not hear what 'Abu Hub-b said?" He meant ʿAbdullah bin Ubai. "He said so-andso." On that Saʿd bin Ubada said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Excuse and forgive him, for by Him Who revealed the Book to you, Allah brought the Truth which was sent to you at the time when the people of this town (i.e. Medina) had decided unanimously to crown him and tie a turban on his head (electing him as chief). But when Allah opposed that (decision) through the Truth which Allah gave to you, he (i.e. ʿAbdullah bin Ubai) was grieved with jealously. and that caused him to do what you have seen." So Messenger of Allah ﷺ excused him, for the Prophet ﷺ and his companions used to forgive the pagans and the people of Scripture as Allah had ordered them, and they used to put up with their mischief with patience. Allah said: "And you shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the Scripture before you and from the pagans........'(3.186) And Allah also said:--"Many of the people of the Scripture wish if they could turn you away as disbelievers after you have believed, from selfish envy.." (2.109) So the Prophet ﷺ used to stick to the principle of forgiveness for them as long as Allah ordered him to do so till Allah permitted fighting them. So when Messenger of Allah ﷺ fought the battle of Badr and Allah killed the nobles of Quraish infidels through him, Ibn Ubai bin Salul and the pagans and idolaters who were with him, said, "This matter (i.e. Islam) has appeared (i.e. became victorious)." So they gave the pledge of allegiance (for embracing Islam) to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and became Muslims. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4566)

Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a Sariya of ten men as spies under the leadership of ʿAsim bin Thabit al-Ansari, the grandfather of ʿAsim bin ʿUmar Al-Khattab. They proceeded till they reached Hadaa, a place between 'Usfan, and Mecca, and their news reached a branch of the tribe of Hudhail called Bani Lihyan. About two-hundred men, who were all archers, hurried to follow their tracks till they found the place where they had eaten dates they had brought with them from Medina. They said, "These are the dates of Yathrib (i.e. Medina), "and continued following their tracks When ʿAsim and his companions saw their pursuers, they went up a high place and the infidels circled them. The infidels said to them, "Come down and surrender, and we promise and guarantee you that we will not kill any one of you" ʿAsim bin Thabit; the leader of the Sariya said, "By Allah! I will not come down to be under the protection of infidels. O Allah! Convey our news to Your Prophet. Then the infidels threw arrows at them till they martyred ʿAsim along with six other men, and three men came down accepting their promise and convention, and they were Khubaib-al-Ansari and Ibn Dathina and another man So, when the infidels captured them, they undid the strings of their bows and tied them. Then the third (of the captives) said, "This is the first betrayal. By Allah! I will not go with you. No doubt these, namely the martyred, have set a good example to us." So, they dragged him and tried to compel him to accompany them, but as he refused, they killed him. They took Khubaid and Ibn Dathina with them and sold them (as slaves) in Mecca (and all that took place) after the battle of Badr. Khubaib was bought by the sons of Al-Harith bin 'Amir bin Naufal bin ʿAbd Manaf. It was Khubaib who had killed Al-Harith bin 'Amir on the day (of the battle of) Badr. So, Khubaib remained a prisoner with those people. Narrated Az-Zuhri: 'Ubaidullah bin 'Iyyad said that the daughter of Al-Harith had told him, "When those people gathered (to kill Khubaib) he borrowed a razor from me to shave his pubes and I gave it to him. Then he took a son of mine while I was unaware when he came upon him. I saw him placing my son on his thigh and the razor was in his hand. I got scared so much that Khubaib noticed the agitation on my face and said, 'Are you afraid that I will kill him? No, I will never do so.' By Allah, I never saw a prisoner better than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I saw him eating of a bunch of grapes in his hand while he was chained in irons, and there was no fruit at that time in Mecca." The daughter of Al-Harith used to say, "It was a boon Allah bestowed upon Khubaib." When they took him out of the Sanctuary (of Mecca) to kill him outside its boundaries, Khubaib requested them to let him offer two rakʿat (prayer). They allowed him and he offered Two rakʿat and then said, "Hadn't I been afraid that you would think that I was afraid (of being killed), I would have prolonged the prayer. O Allah, kill them all with no exception." (He then recited the poetic verse):-- "I being martyred as a Muslim, Do not mind how I am killed in Allah's Cause, For my killing is for Allah's Sake, And if Allah wishes, He will bless the amputated parts of a torn body" Then the son of Al Harith killed him. So, it was Khubaib who set the tradition for any Muslim sentenced to death in captivity, to offer a two-rakʿat prayer (before being killed). Allah fulfilled the invocation of ʿAsim bin Thabit on that very day on which he was martyred. The Prophet ﷺ informed his companions of their news and what had happened to them. Later on when some infidels from Quraish were informed that ʿAsim had been killed, they sent some people to fetch a part of his body (i.e. his head) by which he would be recognized. (That was because) ʿAsim had killed one of their chiefs on the day (of the battle) of Badr. So, a swarm of wasps, resembling a shady cloud, were sent to hover over ʿAsim and protect him from their messenger and thus they could not cut off anything from his flesh.

[Machine] Abu Abdurrahman, I heard him saying that Ali said: Hattab ibn Abi Balta'ah wrote to Mecca, saying: "Indeed, Muhammad intends to attack you with his companions, so be cautious." He sent his letter to a woman known as Sara, who placed it in her garment or in one of its folds, and then she set off. Allah informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that. Ali said: "So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me with Zubair ibn Al-Awam and Abu Marthad Al-Ghanawi, and all of us were horsemen. He said: Set out, as you will meet her in Rawdah, such and such, so search her, as she carries a letter to the people of Mecca from Hattab." So we set out and met her. We said: Hand over the letter you have to the people of Mecca. She replied: I don't have any letter with me. I said: By Allah, neither did I lie nor forge it. Either she would produce it or I would strip her. When she knew that I was serious, she brought out the letter. So we took it and set off with it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who opened it and read it. It contained the letter of Hattab to the people of Mecca saying: "After this, Muhammad intends to attack you, so be cautious and prepared." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished reading the letter, he sent for Hattab and asked him: "Did you write this letter?" He replied: "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked: "What prompted you to do so?" He said: "By Allah, I have never disbelieved since I embraced Islam. I believe in Allah and His Messenger. I only did this because there is no one among your companions in Mecca who protects his family and property, while I have no one there who protects my family and property, so I wanted to have someone to rely on among the people. Indeed, I know that Allah will support His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ believed him and accepted his statement. Umar ibn Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) got up and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Let me kill him, for he has betrayed Allah and the believers." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied: "O Umar! He is from the people of Badr, and who knows, perhaps Allah has looked at them and said: 'Do as you like, for I have forgiven you."

[Machine] It is reported that the Ansar went against us and gathered with their families in the Saqifah of Bani Sa'ida. Ali and Zubair also went against us and those who were with them. The Muhajireen gathered with Abu Bakr. So I said to Abu Bakr, "O Abu Bakr, come with us to our brothers from the Ansar." So we departed with the intention of meeting them. When we approached them, we met two righteous men from among them. They mentioned what the people had been saying about them. We told them that we wanted our brothers from the Ansar. They said to us, "It is not upon you to come near them. Deal with your own affairs." So I said, "By Allah, we will approach them." So we went until we reached them in the Saqifah of Bani Sa'ida. There, we saw a man wrapped in a garment between them. I asked, "Who is this?" They said, "This is Sa'ad bin Ubadah." I asked, "What is wrong with him?" They said, "He is sick." When we sat for a while, their speaker praised Allah and then mentioned their status. He said, "We are the Ansar of Allah and the battalion of Islam, and you are the Muhajireen. We are a group from us and there is a remnant from your people who have opposed us, trying to diminish our status and take the authority from us." Then when he remained silent, I intended to speak and I had prepared a speech that I found impressive, which I wanted to present to Abu Bakr. I even faked my speech in front of him, but I avoided mentioning the matter. Then Abu Bakr said, "Speak upon your mission." I hated that he said that and I feared becoming angry and that he would speak before me. Abu Bakr was more patient and respectful. By Allah, he did not leave any word that I found impressive in my false speech except that he said something similar or better than it. Until he remained silent. I said, "You have mentioned nothing but good, and you are deserving of it. We would not have known of this matter if it were not for this noble person from the Quraysh, who are the middle of the Arabs in lineage, wealth, and status. I am pleased with one of these two men, so pledge to either of them as you wish." I extended my hand, and Abu Bakr extended his hand, as did Abu Ubaydah bin Jarrah, who was sitting between us. I would not have disliked anything he said except that it was not in favor of me, apart from this, by Allah, even if he had slapped my neck, I would not have been closer to committing a sin than I am now. I prefer it to commanding a people in whom Abu Bakr is not their leader, O Allah, unless you make my soul understand at the time of my death something that I do not understand now." Then a speaker among the Ansar said, "I am their representative, Al-Muhakkak, and their spokesperson, Al-Murajjab. From us is an Amir and from you is an Amir, O people of Quraish." The noise increased and the voices raised until I feared disagreement. So I said, "Extend your hand, O Abu Bakr." So Abu Bakr extended his hand and I pledged allegiance to him. The Muhajireen pledged allegiance to him, and then the Ansar pledged allegiance to him.

[Machine] I was a man who had been given something from the other women that no one else had been given. When Ramadan came, I appeared from my wife fearful that I would be affected by her during the night. I continued in this state and couldn't release until dawn caught up with me. While she was with me one night, something was exposed to me from her and I jumped on her. When I woke up in the morning, I went to my people and told them my news. I said, "Come with me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." They said, "No, by Allah, we will not go with you for fear that something from the Qur'an will be revealed in us and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would say something about us that would remain our disgrace." So you go and do what seems right for you." So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him my news. He said, "You are that person?" I said, "Yes, I am that person, so decide in my matter according to the judgment of Allah, for I am patient and hoping. So I have freed a slave." I struck my neck with my hand and said, "By the One who sent you with the truth, I do not possess anything else besides it." He said, "Fast for two consecutive months." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, have I only been afflicted with what I have been afflicted with in fasting?" He said, "Then feed sixty poor people." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, by the One who sent you with the truth, we spent this night of ours in a terrible condition, and we couldn't find anything for dinner." He said, "Go to the person who gave charity from the Banu Zurayq and let him give you something from his dates, so you may feed sixty poor people with it and seek his assistance for your family." So I went to my people and said, "I found difficulty with you. It was narrated to me from this source from Sulayman bin Yasir. And Abu Abdullah Rahman As-Salami allowed me to narrate it with a chain that is similar to this one. He told us that Abu Hassan bin Subayh informed them that I am Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Shirawayh, I am Ishaq al-Hanzali, I am Abdullah bin Idris, I am Muhammad bin Ishaq. He mentioned his chain of narration like this and said at the end, "Go to the person who gave charity from the Banu Zurayq and let him give you something from his dates so you may feed sixty poor people with it, and eat the rest, meaning the leftover dates." This narration indicates that he gives sixty poor people from the dates, and then he eats the rest of the dates. It also indicates what was narrated to us by Abu Ali Ar-Rudbahri, that Abu Bakr bin Dasa told them, Abu Dawood told them, Ibn As-Sarh told them, Ibn Wahb told them, Ibn Lahiah told them, and Amr bin Al-Harith told them, from Bukayr bin Al-Ashajj, from Sulayman bin Yasir, with this narration, who said, "The Prophet ﷺ was given dates, about fifteen Sa's. So he said, 'Give charity with this.' So he said, 'O Messenger of Allah, is there anyone poorer than me and my family?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'You and your family eat from it.' This narration agrees with the narration of Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman and Ibn Thawban in the story of Salamah bin Sakhr, and it is stronger. As for the Hadith of Aus bin As-Samit, the narrations differ regarding it.  

كُنْتُ امْرَأً قَدْ أُوتِيتُ مِنْ جِمَاعِ النِّسَاءِ مَا لَمْ يُؤْتَ غَيْرِي فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ رَمَضَانُ ظَاهَرْتُ مِنِ امْرَأَتِي مَخَافَةَ أَنْ أُصِيبَ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيْلِ وَأَتَتَابَعُ فِي ذَلِكَ وَلَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَنْزِلَ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَنِيَ الصُّبْحُ فَبَيْنَمَا هِيَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ بِحِيَالٍ مِنِّي إِذَا انْكَشَفَ لِي مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَوَثَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ غَدَوْتُ عَلَى قَوْمِي فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ خَبَرِي فَقُلْتُ انْطَلِقُوا مَعِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا لَا وَاللهِ لَا نَذْهَبُ مَعَكَ نَخَافُ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ فِينَا شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَيَقُولُ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَقَالَةً يَبْقَى عَلَيْنَا عَارُهَا فَاذْهَبْ أَنْتَ فَاصْنَعْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ خَبَرِي فَقَالَ أَنْتَ ذَاكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا ذَاكَ فَاقْضِ فِيَّ حُكْمَ اللهِ فَإِنِّي صَابِرٌ مُحْتَسِبٌ قَالَ أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً فَضَرَبْتُ صَفْحَ عُنُقِ رَقَبَتِي بِيَدِي فَقُلْتُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَصْبَحْتُ أَمْلِكُ غَيْرَهَا قَالَ صُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَهَلْ أَصَابَنِي مَا أَصَابَنِي إِلَّا فِي الصِّيَامِ؟ قَالَ فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَقَدْ بِتْنَا لَيْلَتَنَا هَذِهِ وَحْشًا مَا نَجِدُ عَشَاءً قَالَ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى صَاحِبِ الصَّدَقَةِ صَدَقَةِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ فَلْيَدْفَعْهَا إِلَيْكَ فَأَطْعِمْ مِنْهَا وَسْقًا سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا وَتَسْتَعِينُ بِسَائِرِهَا عَلَى عِيَالِكَ فَأَتَيْتُ قَوْمِي فَقُلْتُ وَجَدْتُ عِنْدَكُمُ الضِّيقَ كَذَا رُوِيَ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ 15282 وَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنِيهِ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ إِجَازَةً أَنَّ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ بْنَ صُبَيْحٍ أَخْبَرَهُمْ أنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شِيرَوَيْهِ أنا إِسْحَاقُ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ أنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَهُ وَقَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ فَاذْهَبْ إِلَى صَاحِبِ صَدَقَةِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ فَلْيَدْفَعْ إِلَيْكَ وَسْقًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا وَكُلْ بَقِيَّتَهُ أَنْتَ وَأَهْلُكَ وَهَذَا يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّهُ يُعْطِي مِنَ الْوَسْقِ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا ثُمَّ يَأْكُلُ بَقِيَّتَهُ يَعْنِي بَقِيَّةَ الْوَسْقِ 15283 وَيَدُلُّ عَلَيْهِ أَيْضًا مَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ نا أَبُو دَاوُدَ نا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ نا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ بِهَذَا الْخَبَرِ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِتَمْرٍ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ وَهُوَ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا فَقَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنِّي وَمِنْ أَهْلِي؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كُلْ أَنْتَ وَأَهْلُكَ فَهَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ مُوَافِقَةٌ لِرِوَايَةِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَابْنِ ثَوْبَانَ فِي قِصَّةِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ صَخْرٍ فَهِيَ أَوْلَى وَأَمَّا حَدِيثُ أَوْسِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ فَقَدِ اخْتَلَفَتِ الرِّوَايَةُ فِيهِ  

[Machine] How do you say about a man who finds another man with his wife, should he kill him and you kill him or what should he do? He said, ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that. So Asim came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, a man finds another man with his wife, should he kill him and you kill him or what should he do?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked the questions and criticized them. So Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will not stop until I ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that." So Uwaimir came and said, "O Messenger of Allah, a man finds another man with his wife, should he kill him and you kill him or what should he do?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah has revealed the Quran concerning you and your companion. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded both of them to curse each other with what Allah mentioned in His Book." So he said, "So she cursed him." Then he said, "O Messenger of Allah, if I divorce her, I have wronged her." He said, "So he divorced her, and it was a Sunnah for those who came after them from among the cursing parties." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Be cautious, for if she comes with a child called As'ham, it should be attributed to her. It will darken the two eyes, make the legs skinny, and I do not think Uwaimir except that he will be speaking the truth about her. And if she comes with a child called Uhaymir, it will be as if he is a free-roaming bull and I do not think Uwaimir except that he will be lying about her." He said, "She came with him with a description similar to the one the Messenger of Allah ﷺ attributed to him due to Uwaimir's testimony." He said, "After that, he was traced back to his mother."

[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] That the Jewish scholars gathered in the house of the school when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in the city, and one of them committed adultery with a woman from the Jews who had been chaste. They said, "Take this man and this woman to Muhammad and ask him how to judge them." So, they brought him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Muhammad, this man has committed adultery with a woman whom you have declared chaste, so judge between them, as we have entrusted the judgment to you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went until he reached their Jewish scholars in the house of the school, and he said, "O Jewish people, bring forth your most knowledgeable person to me." They brought Abdullah ibn Suriyah al-Awar and some of the Banu Quraizah claimed that they also brought Abu Yasir ibn Akhtab and Wahb ibn Yahuda. They said, "These are our scholars." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them when he found out about their deceptive intentions, "O Ibn Suriyah, I ask you by Allah and remind you of the days of Bani Israel, do you know that Allah has prescribed stoning as a punishment for those who commit adultery after being chaste according to the Torah?" Ibn Suriyah replied, "Yes, by Allah, O Aba Al-Qasim, they know that you are a sent prophet, but they envy you." So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that they be stoned to death at the gate of his mosque in the house of Banu Ghannam bin Malik. After that, Ibn Suriyah apostatized. Then Allah revealed the verse, "O Messenger, let not those who hurry to disbelief grieve you - of those who say, 'We believe' with their mouths, but their hearts believe not, and from among the Jews. [They are] avid listeners to falsehood, listening to another people who have not come to you. They distort words beyond their [proper] usages, saying, 'If you are given this, take it; but if you are not given it, then beware.' And he for whom Allah intends fitnah - never will you possess [power to do] for him a thing against Allah. Those are the ones for whom Allah does not intend to purify their hearts. For them in this world is disgrace, and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment." (Quran 5:41)

[Machine] Abdullah bin Sahl Al-Ansari and Muhaysah bin Masood went out to Khaybar, but they separated for their own needs. Abdullah bin Sahl was killed, and then Abdulrahman bin Sahl, Huwayshah, and Muhaysah bin Masood went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Abdulrahman, the brother of the deceased, came forward to speak. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Hold on, hold on." Huwayshah and Muhaysah then spoke of the incident of Abdullah bin Sahl. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked them, "Do any of you swear by Allah that you saw the killer or his companion?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we were not present, and we did not witness." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then the Jews will clear you of guilt by taking fifty oaths from you." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, how can we accept oaths from disbelievers?" The Prophet ﷺ then accepted their request.  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ خَرَجَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ فَتَفَرَّقَا لِحَاجَتِهِمَا فَقُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ فَجَاءَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ ابْنَا مَسْعُودٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ أَخُو الْمَقْتُولِ لَيَتَكَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْكِبَرَ الْكِبَرَ فَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ فَذَكَرَا لَهُ شَأْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَيَحْلِفُ مِنْكُمْ خَمْسُونَ فَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ قَاتِلَكُمْ أَوْ صَاحِبَكُمْ؟ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ نَحْضُرْ وَلَمْ نَشْهَدْ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ نَقْبَلُ أَيْمَانَ قَوْمٍ كُفَّارٍ؟ قَالَ فَعَقَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ  

[Machine] From men of his people, they said: Those who formed the coalition were a group from the Bani Nadir and a group from the Bani Wa'il. From the Bani Nadir were Huwayy bin Akhtab and Kinanah bin al-Rabi' bin Abu al-Huqayq, and Abu Ammar. From the Bani Wa'il was Hayy from the Ansar of the Aws, and Hawh bin 'Amr, and men from among them set out until they arrived in the vicinity of the Quraysh. They invited them to go to war against the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and they eagerly agreed to that. Then the story is mentioned about the departure of Abu Sufyan bin Harb and the coalition. He said: Hayy bin Akhtab set out until he reached Ka'b bin Asad, a leader of the Bani Qurayzah, with his covenant and confirmed the agreement. When Ka'b heard of him, he closed his fortress to him. Hayy said to him: O Ka'b, open for me so that I may come to you. Ka'b said to him: Woe to you, O Hayy. You are a man who brings bad luck. I have no need for you or what you have come to me with. I have not seen anything from Muhammad except truthfulness and loyalty, and he has treated me with honor. So leave me alone and go away from me. Hayy said: By Allah, if you close your fortress to me, it is only out of fear that I will eat with you from it. So keep it safe and he opened it for him. When he entered upon him, Hayy said to him: Woe to you, O Ka'b. I have come to you with the might of fate, with the Quraysh and their leaders and I put it down until I brought it down to Rawma. And I have come to you with Ghatafan and their leaders until I brought them down beside Uhud. And I have come to you with a vast sea that nothing can return. Ka'b said to him: You have come to me by Allah in humiliation. Leave me alone, for I have no need for you or what you invite me to. Hayy bin Akhtab did not stop enticing him, both in word and action, until Ka'b finally succumbed to him and gave him his covenant and agreement, saying: If the Quraysh and Ghatafan retreat before they inflict harm upon Muhammad, I will enter with you into your fortress until I suffer what has befallen you. So Ka'b broke his covenant and publicly declared his innocence from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , even though there was no enmity between them. Ibn Ishaq said: Asim bin 'Umar bin Qatadah narrated to me, saying: When the news of Ka'b's actions and the breaking of the Bani Qurayzah's covenant reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he sent Sa'd bin 'Ubada, Sa'd bin Mu'adh, Khawwat bin Jubayr, and 'Abdullah bin Rawaha to find out about their news. When they arrived, they found them in the worst state possible. Ibn Ishaq said: Asim bin 'Umar bin Qatadah narrated to me from a sheikh of the Bani Qurayzah, who mentioned the story of the reason for the Islam of Tha'laba and Usaid bin Saeed and Asad bin 'Ubayd and their descent from the fortress of the Bani Qurayzah and their Islam. 'Amru bin Su'adah al-Qurazi came out that night, as Ibn Ishaq claimed. He passed by the guards of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and upon him was Muhammad bin Maslamah that night. When the guards saw him, they asked: Who is this? He said: I am 'Amru bin Su'adah. 'Amru had refused to enter with the Bani Qurayzah in their treachery and had said: I will never betray Muhammad. Muhammad bin Maslamah said: When Allah made him known to me, I said: O Allah, do not deprive me of the stumble of the noble ones. Then he let him go and he went until he spent the night in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then he left and no one knew where he had gone from the earth. Then his affair was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said: This is a man whom Allah saved by his faithfulness. And Musa bin 'Uqbah mentioned him in this story, that Hayy did not stop enticing them until they agreed to engage in treachery against a man other than Asad, Usayd and Tha'laba.

"عَنِ ابن عباس، قال: قال عمرُ بن الخطاب: إنه كان مِنْ خَبرِنَا حيث تَوفَّى اللَّه نبيه ﷺ أن الأنصار خالفونا، واجتمعوا بأسْرِهم في سَقيفةِ بنى ساعدة، وخالف عنا علىٌّ والزبيرُ ومن مَعَهُما، واجتمعَ المهاجرون إلى أَبى بكرٍ، فقلت لأبى بكر: يا أبا بكر: انطلق بنا إلى إخواننا هؤلاء من الأنصار، فانطلقنا نريدهم، فلما دَنَوْنَا منهم لَقِينَا منهم رجلان صالحان فذكرا ما تمالأ عليه القوم، فقال: أين تريدونَ يا معشر المهاجرين؟ فقلنا: نرجو إخواننا من الأنصار، فقالا: لا عليكم أن لا تقربوهم، اقْضُوا أمركم، فقلت: واللَّه لنأتينهم، فانطلقنا حتى أتيناهم في سقيفة بنى ساعدة فإذا رَجُلٌ مُزَمَّل (*) بين ظهرانيهم، فَقُلْتُ: من هذا؟ قالوا: سعدُ بن عبادة، فقلت: ما له؟ قالوا: يَوْعَكُ، فلما جلسنا قليلًا تَشهَّدَ خطيبهم فأثنى على اللَّهِ بِما هُو أَهْلُهُ، ثم قال: أما بعدُ، فنحن أنصارُ اللَّهِ وَكَتِيبَةُ الإسلام، وأنتم مَعْشَرَ المهاجرين رهطٌ مِنَّا وقد دَفَّتْ دَافَّةٌ من قوْمِكم فإذا هم يريدون أن يختزلونا مِنْ أَصْلِنَا وأنْ يَخضُنُونا من هذا الأمر، فلما سكت أردت أن أتكلم، وكلنتُ زَوَرْتُ مقالةً أعجبتنى أريدُ أن أقدمَها بين يدى أَبى بكر، وكنت أدارى منه بعض الحِدَّة، فلما أردت أن أتكلم، قال أبو بكر: على رسلك فكرهت أن أغضبه، فتكلم فكان هوَ أعْلَمَ مِنِّى وَأَوْفَرَ، واللَّه ما ترك من كلمة أعجبتنى في تزويرى إلا قال في بديهته مِثْلَهَا وأفضل منها حتى سكت، قال: ما ذكرتم من خيرٍ فأنتم لَهُ أَهْلٌ، ولَنْ نَعْرفَ هذا الأمر إلا لهذا الحى من قريش، هُمْ أوسطُ العرب نَسَبًا وَدَارًا، وقد رَضِيتُ لكم أحدَ هذين الرجلين، فَبَايعُوا أَيَّهُمَا شِئْتُم، وأخذ بيدى وبيد أَبى عبيدة بن الجراح وهو جالس بيننا، فلم أكره مما قال غيرها، كان واللَّه أُقَدَّمَ فَيَضْرِبَ عُنُقى يقرينى ذَلِكَ مِنْ إِثْمٍ أحبَّ إلىّ من أن أَتَامَّرَ على قوم فيهم أبو بكر، اللهم إلا أن تُسَوِّلَ لِى نفسى عند الموت شَيْئًا لا أَجِدُهُ الآن، فقال قائل الأنصار: أَنَا جُذَيْلُها المُحَكَّكُ، وعُذَيْقُهَا المرجَّبُ، منا أمير ومنكم أمير يا معشرَ قريش، وكثر اللغط، وارتفعت الأصواتُ حتَّى فَرِقْتُ من أن يقع اختلافٌ، فقلت: ابسطْ يدَكَ يا أبا بكرٍ، فبسط يَدَهُ فبايَعْتُهُ وبايعه المهاجرون، ثُمَّ بايَعَهُ الأنصار وَنَزَوْنَا على سعد بن عبادةَ، فقال قائل منهم: قَتَلْتُم سَعْدًا فَقُلْتُ: قَتَلَ اللَّه سَعْدًا أمَا واللَّه ما وجدنا فيما حضرنا أمرا هو أوفَقُ من مبايعة أَبى بكر، خَشِينا إِنْ فارقنا القوم ولَمْ تَكُنْ بَيْعَةٌ أن يُحْدِثُوا بَعْدَنا بيعةً، فإما أن نُتَابعَهم على ما لا نرضى، وإما أن نخالفهمْ فَيكُونَ فِيهِ فسادٌ، فمن بايع أَميرًا من غير مشورة المسلمين فلا بيعةَ لَهُ، ولا بيعةَ لِلَّذِى بَايعَهُ تَغِرَّةَ أن يُقْتَلا".

"الواقدى: حدثنى عبد الله بن جعفر بن عبد الرحمن بن أزهر بن عوف، عن الزهرى، عن عروة، عن أسامة بن زيد أن النبى ﷺ أمره أن يغير على أهل "أُبْنَى" صباحًا وأن يُحَرِّق، قالوا: ثُمَّ قال رسول الله ﷺ لأسامة: امْضِ عَلى اسْمِ اللهِ: فَخَرَجَ بِلِوَائِهِ مَعْقُودًا فدَفَعَهُ إِلى بُريْدَةَ بْنِ الْحَصِيبِ الأَسْلَمِىِّ، فخرَجَ بِهِ إِلى بَيْتِ أُسَامَةَ، وَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَسْكَرَ بَالْجَرفِ وَضَرَبَ عَسْكَرَهُ في مَوضِعِ سِقَايَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ اليَوْمَ، وَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يُوَحَّدُونَ بِالْخُرُوجِ إِلَى العَسْكَرِ، فَيَخْرُجُ مَنْ فَرغَ مِنْ حَاجَتِهِ إِلَى مُعَسْكَرِهِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَقْضِ حَاجَتَهُ فَهُوَ عَلَى فَرَاغٍ، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ المُهَاجِرِينَ الأَوَّلِينَ إِلَا انْتُدِبَ فِى تِلْكَ الغَزْوَةِ: عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، وأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ، وَسَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِى وَقَّاصِ، وَأَبُو الأَعْوَرِ سعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ فِى رِجَالٍ مِنَ المُهَاجِرينَ وَالأَنْصَارِ عِدَّةً: قَتَادَةُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ، وَسَلَمَةُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ بْنِ حُرَيْشٍ، فَقَالَ رِجَالٌ مِنَ المُهَاجِرِينَ - وَكَانَ أشَدَّهُمْ فِى ذَلِكَ قَوْلًا عَيَّاشُ بْنُ أَبِى رَبِيعَةَ: يَسْتَعْمِلُ هَذَا الْغُلام عَلَى الْمُهاجِرِينَ الأَوَّلِينَ؟ ! فَكَثُرَتِ القَالَةُ فِى ذَلِكَ، فَسَمِعَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطَّابِ بَعْضَ ذَلِكَ القَوْلِ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ، وَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِقَوْلِ مَنْ قَالَ، فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غَضَبًا شَديدًا، فَخَرَجَ وَقَدْ عَصَبَ عَلَى رَأسِهِ عِصَابَةً وَعَليْهِ قَطِيفَة، ثُمَّ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَمَا مَقَالَةٌ بَلَغَتْنِى عَنْ بَعْضِكُمْ فِى تَأمِيرِى أُسَامَةَ؟ ! وَاللهِ لَئِنْ طَعَنْتُمْ فِى إِمَارَتِى أُسَامَةَ لَقَدْ طَعَنْتُمْ فِى إِمَارَتِى أَبَاهُ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ، وَايْمُ اللهِ أَنْ كَانَ للإِمَارَةِ لَخَلِيقٌ، وَإِنَّ ابْنَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ لَخَلِيقٌ للإِمَارَةِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لَمِنْ أَحَبَّ النَّاسِ إِلَىَّ، وَإِنَّ هَذَا لَمِنْ أَحَبِّ النَّاسِ إِلَىَّ، وَإِنَّهُمَا لَمُخِيلَانِ لِكُلَّ خَيْرٍ، فَاسْتَوْصُوا بِهِ خَيْرًا؛ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ خِيَارِكُمْ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ وَذَلِكَ ليَوْمِ السَّبْتِ لِعَشْرِ لَيَالٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنْ رَبِيع الأَوَّلِ، وَجَاءَ المُسْلِمُونَ الَّذِينَ يَخْرُجُونَ مَعَ أُسَامَةَ يُوَدَّعُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِيِهِمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطَّابِ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: أَنْفِذُوا بَعْثَ أُسَامَةَ، وَدَخَلَتْ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ فَقَالَتْ: أَى رَسُولَ اللهِ: لَوْ تَرَكْت أُسَامَةَ يُقِيمُ فِى مُعَسْكَرِهِ حَتَّى يَتَمَاثَلَ؛ فَإِنَّ أُسَامَةَ إِنْ خَرَجَ عَلَى حَالِهِ هَذِهِ لَمْ يَنْتَفِعْ بِنَفْسِهِ،

حُرَيثًا، فخرج على صدر راحلته أمامه فغزى حتى انتهى إلى أُبْنَى فنظر إلى ما هناك وارْتَادَ الطريقَ، ثم رجع سريعًا حتى لقى أسامةَ على مسيرةِ ليلتين مِنْ أُبْنَى فَأَخْبَرَهُ أن الناس غَارونَ وَلَا جُمُوعَ لهم، وأمره أن يسرع السير قبل أن يجمع الجموع وأن يَشُنَّهَا غَارَةً".

عُقْبَةَ فَأخَذْنَاهُ، فَجَعَلنَا نَقُولُ لَهُ: كَمِ القَوْمُ؟ فَيَقُولُ: هُمْ وَالله كَثِير عَدَدُهُمْ شَدِيدٌ بَأسُهُمْ، فَجَعَلَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ إِذَا قَالَ ذَلكَ ضَرَبُوهُ حَتَّى انْتَهُوا بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ: كَمِ القَوْمُ؟ قَالَ: هُمْ وَالله كَثير عَدَدُهُمْ شَدِيدٌ بَأسُهُمْ، فَجَهِدَ النبِيّ ﷺ أنْ يُخْبرهُ كمْ هُمْ، فَأبَى، ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ سَألَه: كمْ يَنْحَرُونَ مِنَ الجُزُرِ؟ فَقَالَ: عَشْرًا كُل يَوْمِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ القُوْمُ ألْفٌ، كُل جَزُورٍ لمِائَة وَتَبعهَا، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَصَابَنَا مِنَ اللَّيْلٍ طَمشٌّ مِنْ مَطَرٍ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا تَحْتَ الشَّجَرِ وَالجَحَفِ نَسْتَظِل تَحْتَهَا مِنَ المَطَرِ، وَبَاتَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يَدْعُو رَبَّهُ وَيَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ إِنْ تُهْلِكْ هَذِهِ الْفئَة لاَ تُعْبَدْ، (قال: ) فَلَمَّا أَنْ طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ نَادَى: الصَّلاةَ عِبَادَ الله، فَجَاءَ النَّاسُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الشَّجَرِ وَالجَحَفِ، فَصَلَّى بنَا رَسُولُ الله ﷺ وَحَرَّضَ عَلَى الْقتَالِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنَّ جَمْعَ قُرَيْشٍ تَحْتَ هَذه الضِّلَعِ الْحَمْرَاء مِنَ الْجَبَلِ، فَلَمَّا دَنَا القَوْمُ مِنَّا وَصَافَقْنَاهُمْ إِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنهُمْ عَلَى جَمَلٍ لَهُ أَحمرَ يسِيرُ فِى القَوْمِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : يَا عَلِىُّ، نَادِ لِى حَمْزَةَ، وَكَانَ أقْرَبَهُمْ إِلَى المشركين من صاحب الجمل الأحمر يقول لهم، ثم قال رسول الله ﷺ إِنْ يَكُنْ في القَوْمِ أَحدٌ يأمُرُ بِخَيْرٍ فَعَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ صَاحِبَ الجَمَلِ الأحْمَرِ، فَجَاءَ حَمْزَةُ فَقَالَ: هُوَ عُتبَةُ بْنُ رَبِيَعةَ وَهُوَ يَنْهَى عَنِ القِتَالِ وَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ: يَا قُوْمُ إِني أَرَى قَوْمًا مُسْتَمِيتينَ، لاَ تَصِلُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَمِنكُمْ خَيْرٌ، يَا قَوْمُ، اعْصِبُوهَا اليَوْمَ بِرَأسِى وَقُولُوا جَبُنَ عُتبَةُ بْنُ ربَيَعةَ، وَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ أني لَسْتُ بَأجْبَنِكُمْ، فَسَمِعَ ذَلِكَ أبُو جَهْل فَقَالَ: أنْتَ تَقُولُ هَذَا؟ وَالله لَوْ غَيْرُكَ يَقُولُ (هَذَا) لأعْضَضْتُهُ، قَدْ مَلأَتْ رِئَتُكَ جوفك رُعبًا، فَقَالَ عتبَةُ: إِيَاىَّ تُعَيِّرُ يا مُصَفِّرَ إسْتِهِ سَتَعْلمُ اليَوْمَ أيُّنَا الجَبَانُ، (قَالَ) فَبَرزَ عتبَةُ وَأخُوهُ شَيْبَةُ وابْنَهُ الْوَلِيْدُ حَمِيَّةً، فَقَالُوا: مَنْ يُبَارِزُ؟ فَخَرجَ فِتْيَةٌ مِنَ الأنْصْارِ ستَّة، فَقَالَ: عُتْبَةُ: لاَ نُرِيدُ هَؤُلاَءِ، وَلَكِنْ يُبَارِزُنَا مِنْ بَنِى عَمِّنَا مِنْ بَنِى عَبْد المُطلِبِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : قُمْ يَا عَلِى وقم يَا حَمْزَةُ، وَقُمْ يَا عُبَيْدَةُ بْنَ الْحَارَثِ (بْنِ الْمُطلِبِ)، فَقَتَلَ الله عُتبَةَ وَشَيْبَةَ ابْنَى رَبِيعَةَ وَالوَلِيدَ بْنَ عتبَةَ، وَجُرحَ عُبَيْدَةُ، فَقَتلنَا منْهُمْ سَبْعِينَ، وأسَرْنَا سَبْعِينَ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأنْصَارِ (قَصِيرٌ) بالعِباسِ بْنِ عَبْد المُطلِبَ أسِيرًا، فَقَال العباسُ يَا رَسُولَ الله، إِنَّ هَذَا وَالله مَا أسَرَنِى، لَقَدْ أَسَرَنِى رَجُلٌ

أجْلَحٌ مِنْ أحْسَنِ النَّاسِ وَجْهًا عَلَى فَرَس أَبْلَقَ مَا أَرَاهُ في القَوْمِ، فَقَالَ الأنْصَارِىُّ: أَنَا أَسَرْتُهُ يَا رَسُولَ الله، فَقَالَ: اسْكُتْ فَقَدْ أَيّدَكَ الله بِمَلَك كَرِيمٍ، فَقَالَ عَلِىٌّ: (فَأسَرْنَا) وَأسَرْنَا مِنْ بَنِى عَبْدِ المُطلِبِ الْعَبَّاسَ وَعُقيلًا، وَنَوْفَلَ بْنَ الحَارِثِ".  

" عَنْ عَبدِ العَزيزِ الزُّهرِىِّ، عَنْ محمد بنِ عبدِ الله بن عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّه عَمْرِو بنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: كَان إسْلاَمُ عُثْمَانَ بنِ عَفَّانَ فِيما حَدَّثَنا عَنْ نَفْسِه، قَالَ: كنتُ رَجُلًا مُسْتَهْتَرًا (*) بِالنِّساء، فَإِنِّى ذَاتَ يَومٍ بِفِنَاءِ الكَعْبَةِ قَاعِدٌ فِى رَهْطٍ مِنْ قُرَيشٍ إذْ أُتينا فَقِيلَ لنَا: إنَّ مُحَمَّدًا أَنكَحَ عُتْبَةَ بنَ أَبِى لَهَبٍ مِنْ رُقَيَّةَ ابْنَتِهِ، وَكَانَتْ رُقَيَّةُ ذَاتَ جَمَالٍ رَائِعٍ، قَالَ عُثْمَانُ: فَدَخَلتْنِى الحِدَّةُ (* *) لما لاَ أَكُونُ أَنَا سَبَقْتُ إلَى ذَلِك؟ فَلَم ألْبَثْ أَنِ انْصَرَفْتُ إلَى مَنزِلِى، فَأصَبْتُ خَالَةً لِى قَاعِدَةً وَهى سُعْدَى بِنْتُ كُرَيزِ بنِ رَبيعةَ بنِ حَبِيبِ بن عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ، وَكَانَتْ قَد طَرَقَتْ وَتَلهفتْ عِنْدَ قَومِها، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْنِى قَالَتْ:

أبْشِرْ وَحُيِّيتَ ثَلاَثًا تَتْرَى ... ثُم ثَلاَثَا وَثَلاَثَا أُخْرَى

ثم بَأخْرى لِى تَتِمُّ عَشْرًا ... أَتاكَ خَيْرٌ ووقيتَ شَرّا

أُنْكحْتَ والله حَصَانًا زَهْرَا ... وَأَنْتَ بِكْرٌ وَلَقَيتَ بِكْرًا

وَافَيْتَها بِنْتَ عَظِيمٍ قَدْرًا ... بِنتَ امرَئٍ لقَدْ أَشَادَ ذِكْرًا

هَدَى الله عُثمانًا بَقَوْلٍ إلَى الهُدَى ... وَأَرْشَدَهُ والله يَهْدى إلَى الحَقِّ

فَتَابَع بالرَّأى السَّديدِ مُحَمدًا ... وَكَان بَرَأْى لاَ يصَدُّ عَنِ الصِّدْقِ

وَأنْكَحَهُ المبعوثُ بالحقِّ بنتَهُ ... فَكَانَ كَبَدْرٍ مَازَجَ الشَّمسَ فِى الأُفْقِ

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".
