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

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

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Makkah for ten years, following the people in their homes in 'Ukaz and Majinah, and during the seasons in Mina. He would say, "Who will shelter and support me? Who will assist me until I deliver the message of my Lord, and he will be rewarded with Paradise?" So much so that a man would come from Yemen or Egypt, and his people would warn him, saying, "Beware of the young boy from Quraysh who will deceive you." But he would walk among them and they would point at him with their fingers. Until Allah sent someone from Yathrib (Medina) and we offered him shelter and believed in him. The man would return to his people, and they would embrace Islam because of him, to the point that there was not a house in Al-Ansar (the supporters) except there were some Muslims living in it. Then, they all came together and said, "Until when shall we leave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being expelled in the mountains of Makkah and living in fear?" Seventy men of us left until we reached him in the season. We made an appointment with the tribes of Al-'Aqabah, and met him there, a group of men and a group of women. We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Why don't we give you our pledge?" He replied, "Give me your pledge based on hearing and obeying, in ease and hardship, in wealth and poverty, and to enjoin good and forbid evil. And that you will say in Allah's cause, fear no blame from anyone, and to help me rather than hinder me when I come to you. If you fulfill this, then it will be better for you before Allah." We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Rain on us your guidance." We swear by Allah, we will never abandon this pledge nor take it away. So we gave him our pledge, and he grasped the hand of As'ad bin Zurarah, who was one of the youngest among us, and said, "O people of Yathrib! We have not aimed against and attacked the backs of camels unless we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . And indeed his leaving today means the tribal fragmentation of the entire Arabs and the killing of your best people. And the swords will bite you, whether you are a people who can endure that or a people who fear from yourselves a decline, clarify it, and it will be more excuse for you before Allah." We said, "Remove from us, O As'ad!" By Allah! We will never abandon this pledge nor seize it away. So we gave him our pledge, and he made a condition and gave us Paradise in return.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spent ten years following the pilgrims in their dwellings during the pilgrimage season, at Majannah, at 'Ukaz, and in their dwellings in Mina. He would say, "Who will give me shelter? Who will assist me until I deliver the messages of my Lord, and paradise will be theirs?" He did not find anyone who would assist and shelter him. Even when a man would leave Muzdalifah or Yemen and come to their people, they would say, "Beware of the youth from Quraysh, he will lead you astray," while he walked among them and called them to Allah, pointing at them with his fingers. Until Allah sent us to him from Yathrib, a man came to him and believed in him, and he recited the Quran to him, then he returned to his family and they accepted Islam. Soon, there was no house in the dwellings of Yathrib except that it had a group of Muslims who openly displayed Islam. Then Allah completed His favor upon us, and we gathered together, seventy men from our community, and we said, "How long will the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be expelled in the mountains of Makkah and live in fear?" So we set out until we reached him during the pilgrimage season, and we made an appointment with the people of Aqabah. His uncle, Al-Abbas, said to him, "O nephew, I do not know who these people are who have come to you. I am familiar with the people of Yathrib, so we gathered with them, one man and two men. When Al-Abbas saw our faces, he said, 'These are unknown people, they are young.' We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, why should we swear allegiance to you?' He said, 'Swear allegiance to me on hearing and obeying, in times of both energy and laziness, in easy and difficult times, in promoting what is good and forbidding what is evil, and in defending me if I come to Yathrib, even if it means denying yourselves, your wives, and your children. Paradise will be yours.' So we gave him our pledge, and As'ad bin Zurarah, who was the youngest of the seventy, took his hand and said, 'By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, remove your hand from us. We will not abandon this pledge, nor will we revoke it.' So we went to him one by one, and each of us pledged allegiance to him on the terms of al-Abbas, and in return, he bestowed paradise upon us."

[Machine] He heard some of the delegation from Abd al-Qays saying, "We have come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his joy increased upon seeing us. When we reached the people, they made way for us and we sat down. The Prophet ﷺ welcomed us and prayed for us. Then he looked at us and said, "Who is your leader and chief?" We all pointed to Mundhir ibn 'Amr. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Is this the one with the scar?" It was the first day he was given this nickname because of a blow to his face with a donkey's hoof. We said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He then followed the people and assessed their resources and belongings. Then he took off his traveling clothes and put on his best clothes. He then approached the Prophet ﷺ , who had stretched out his leg and leaned on it. When Mundhir approached, the people made way for him and said, "Here is Mundhir!" The Prophet ﷺ straightened himself and sat up, welcomed him, and treated him kindly. Then he asked about his lands and named for him a village called Safa and Mashqar, among other villages. Mundhir said, "By my parents, O Messenger of Allah, you know the names of our villages." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I have already been to your lands and it has opened up to me. Then he approached the Ansar and said, "O people of the Ansar, honor your brothers, for they are like you in Islam, and they bear the closest resemblance to you in hair and appearance. They have submitted willingly, not by force or coercion, as a people who refused to submit were killed. When they woke up, the Prophet ﷺ said, "How do you see the status of your brothers and their hospitality towards you?" They replied, "They are the best brothers. They have provided us with bedding, made our food, stayed with us, and taught us the Book of our Lord and the Sunnah of our Prophet." The Prophet ﷺ was pleased and delighted with this, then he approached us one by one and asked each of us about what we had learned and taught. Some of us learned and taught greetings, the mother of the Book, and two Surahs, while others learned and taught the Sunnah and two Sunnahs. Then he turned to us and said, "Do you have any provisions with you?" The people were happy about this and rushed to prepare their belongings. Each man came with a handful of dates and placed it on a cloth in front of him, holding a piece of cloth in his hand. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you call this a variety of provisions?" We said, "Yes." Then he pointed to another handful of dates and asked, "Do you call this a pair of sandals?" We said, "Yes." Then he pointed to another handful of dates and asked, "Do you call this a gift?" We said, "

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

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

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

[Machine] Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ spent ten years following people in their homes during the season of Manazil, Muzdalifah, and 'Ukaz. He would ask, "Who will shelter me? Who will support me until I convey the messages of my Lord, and for him is Paradise?" Yet, he would find no one to support him or shelter him. And there would be a man who would leave from Egypt or Yemen to bring him back to his people, and they would warn him, "Beware of the young Quraishi boy who will tempt you." He would walk among their tents, calling them to Allah Almighty, and they would point at him with their fingers. Then Allah sent us from Yathrib (Medina), and the man from among us would meet him, believe in him, and teach him the Quran. He would then return to his people, and they would embrace Islam until there was not a single house among the houses of the Ansar without Muslims in it. We sent a message to Allah, and He allowed us to gather and meet. We said, "How long will the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be expelled in the mountains of Makkah and live in fear?" So we set out until we reached him in Muzdalifah during the pilgrimage season. We made an agreement with him at 'Aqabah, and his uncle, al-'Abbas, said to him, "O son of my brother, I do not know who these people who have come to you are. I have knowledge of the people of Yathrib, so we gathered with a man, and when al-'Abbas looked at our faces, he said, 'These are people we do not know. They are young men.' So we said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do we pledge allegiance to you on?' He said, 'Pledge allegiance to me on hearing and obeying, in times of energy and times of laziness, on spending in times of ease and times of hardship, on commanding good and forbidding evil, and on not blaming us for what we do in the name of Allah. Pledge allegiance to me on supporting me when I come to you, and withholding from what you withhold from yourselves, your wives, and your children. And for you is Paradise.' So we pledged allegiance to him, and Sa'd bin Zurarah, the youngest among the seventy, took his hand and said, 'O people of Yathrib, none of us withholds his hand from this pledge, and we will never quit it.' So we went to him, each man one by one, and he took our pledge to grant us Paradise."

[Machine] "Do not be intimidated by them, for they will return. So We revealed (to Ali) and when it was morning, one who looked like me (Ali) went out, and when he went out, I reminded him (the people) of that incident. Ali said, 'Do not be scared by their presence, for their command is insignificant.' Ali said, 'Do not initiate the fight with them until they initiate it with you.' They sat on their knees and we prepared for battle, and we used our shields as protection. They approached us and handed us spears, and then they attacked us with arrows. Then they got closer and they picked up swords to attack us until they wanted to attack us with their swords. Then, a man from the Banu Abdi Qays tribe named Sa'sa'a bin Sohan called out three times and they asked him what he wanted. He said, 'I remind you to have God in your hearts and to fight on the land that will bear disrespect against its people. I remind you to leave behind the religion, as it will leave you behind like an arrow from a bow.' When we saw that they had placed their swords on us, Ali said, 'Get up, with the blessing of Allah the Almighty.' It was not even midday when we were scattered everywhere and we escaped, and whoever ran, ran. Ali thanked Allah and said, 'My friend (the Prophet) informed me that the leader of the enemy was a man whose hands were marked with hair, like the tail of a lizard. Go and find him.' So we looked for him and we could not find him. Then, an man from the people of Kufa came and said, 'Here he is.' Ali said, 'Allah is the Greatest, by Allah, no one will inform you about his father's lineage being the King.' People started saying, 'This is a King.' Ali said, 'Whose son is he?' They said, 'We do not know.' Then, a man from the people of Kufa came and said, 'I know this man. I was offering cattle as a dowry for a certain man from Banu Fulan, a sheikh from Banu Fulan, and I put easy-to-wear ornaments on them. When I turned my back, the cow ran away, and he called me and said, 'Oh boy, look, the cow has run away.' So I said, 'I see an image of a sunset or a sheep.' He got closer to us, and Ali said, 'Who is that man?' The people said, 'This is the one.' Ali said, 'I swear by Allah, this man has come to you from Yamama to worship Allah in the mosque of Kufa. He worshipped Allah there and called the people until they gathered around him.' Ali said, 'My friend (the Prophet) informed me that these are three brothers from the Jinn. This is the eldest, the second has a large following, and the third one is weak.' Muslim narrated this hadith in Sahih al-Masnad in an abbreviated manner, and it is an authentic hadith."

[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] He said, "The Prophet ﷺ was not supported in any place as he was on the day of Uhud." He said, "We denied that, so Ibn Abbas said, 'Between me and whoever denied that is the Book of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious.' Indeed, Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, says about the day of Uhud, 'And Allah had certainly fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing the enemy by His permission.'" [Surah Al Imran, 152]. Ibn Abbas says that "killing" here means fighting. He also says, "Until when you lost courage and fell to disputing about the matter and disobeyed after He had shown you that which you love. Among you are some who desire this world, and among you are some who desire the Hereafter. Then He turned you back from them [defeated] that He might test you. And He has already forgiven you. And Allah is full of bounty to the believers." [Surah Al Imran, 152]. He meant by this the archers, for the Prophet ﷺ stationed them in a specific place and then said, 'Protect our backs. If you see us being killed, do not come to our aid, and if you see us gaining booty, do not partake in it.' So when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gained booty and made permissible the property of the polytheists, the archers uncovered themselves and entered into the booty, holding one another's fingers. They were surprised by the polytheists who began to attack the Muslims, resulting in the death of many Muslims. The Prophet ﷺ and his companions fought until seven or nine of the leaders of the polytheists were killed. The Muslims fought by the mountain and did not reach where people said the battle took place, as it was beneath the Hudaybiyya. Shaytan shouted, 'Muhammad is killed,' and they did not suspect that it was true until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ emerged among them, walking in a state of apprehension. When he saw him, they recognized him by the way he walked. This brought them great joy, as though nothing had befallen them. He then moved away from them, saying, 'The anger of Allah has increased upon a people who killed their Prophet.' He said again, 'O Allah, surely they cannot overpower us.' Then Abu Sufyan shouted from the bottom of the mountain, 'O Hubal, O Hubal, where is the son of Abu Kabsha, where is the son of Abu Quhafa, where is the son of Al-Khattab?' Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, should I answer him?' He said, 'Yes.' So when Abu Sufyan shouted, 'O Hubal,' Umar said, 'Allah is the Most High and the Most Great.' Abu Sufyan said, 'The day of Badr was a day of mutual hostility and fighting.' Umar said, 'It is not the same, our dead are in Paradise while your dead are in the Fire.' Abu Sufyan said, 'Indeed, you will find in your dead a similar number. However, that was not according to our plan.' Then he encountered the zeal of ignorance and said, 'If that is the case, then we did not like it.'"

[Machine] He gathered them all that day, and it was nothing but existence until the Day of Resurrection. Then He made them souls, then formed them and gave them the power of speech. And He took from them the covenant and the pledge, and He made them testify upon themselves, "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we testify." [This] lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were unaware of this." Or [lest] you say, "It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?" [Allah] said, "I swear by Myself, and I bear witness on you all the heavens and the earths, and I bear witness upon your father Adam, 'Am I not your Lord?' They said, 'Yes, we testify.' [This] lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, 'Indeed, we were unaware of this.' Or lest you should say, 'It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?' He said, "Indeed, I bear witness over all of you that I am free from whatever you associate with Me. Indeed, the Messengers will come to you with My reminders and My covenant, and they will present My Books to you." They said, "We bear witness that You are our Lord and our God. You have no Lord besides You, and we have no god besides You." And their father Adam raised them, so He looked at them, and He saw richness and poverty, beauty and otherwise. He said, "My Lord, if You had balanced Your servants." He said, "I love to return the gratitude." And among them were seen prophets like bright lamps. They were given a separate covenant in regards to Prophet-hood and Messengership. This is the saying of Allah, the Exalted, "[And mention] when We took from the prophets their covenant and from you and from Noah." (33:7) And His saying, "So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah." (30:30) And His saying, "This is a warner of the warners of old." (53:56) And His saying, "And We had not found for most of them any covenant, but indeed, We found most of them defiantly disobedient." (7:102) And His saying, "Then We sent following their footsteps Our messengers and followed [them] with Jesus, the son of Mary, and gave him the Gospel. And We placed in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy and monasticism, which they innovated; We did not prescribe it for them except that they did so seeking the approval of Allah." So they did not observe it with due observance. (57:27) He knew in His knowledge those who would deny what He would affirm and those who would affirm what He would deny. So the soul of 'Isa was among those souls to which the covenant was taken in the time of Adam. And that soul was then sent to Maryam when He said, "Settle in a place of worship wherein the sun does not rise, and you take a veil from them." So We sent to her Our soul, and it manifested to her in the form of a well-built man. (19:17) Until His saying, "A determined appointment." (19:21) She conceived. He, who spoke to her, was the soul of 'Isa, peace be upon him. Abu Ja'far narrated to me that Ar-Rabi' bin Anas narrated to him from Abu Al-'Aliyah from Ubayy bin Ka'b who said, "He entered it."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Mecca for seven years, following the people to their homes in Okaz, Majannah, and the seasons in Mina. He would say, "Who will provide shelter and support me until I convey the messages of my Lord?" Even the people from Yemen or Egypt would come to him, and their clans would warn them, saying, "Beware of the boy from Quraysh who may deceive you." He would walk among them as they pointed at him with their fingers. Then Allah sent support from Yathrib and we provided him refuge and believed in him. The man would leave us, and upon returning to his people he would deliver Islam to them, and they would embrace it until there was no house left in the houses of the Ansar without some Muslims living in it, openly practicing Islam. Then we gathered and said, "How long will we let the Prophet ﷺ be expelled and live in fear in the mountains of Mecca?" So seventy of us set out until we reached him during the pilgrimage season, and we pledged allegiance to him at Al-Aqaba. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, for what reason should we pledge allegiance to you?" He said, "Pledge allegiance to me to listen and obey in times of energy or laziness, hardship or ease, to spend in times of difficulty or abundance, to enjoy what is good and forbid what is evil, and to not care about the blame of the blamers, and to support and protect me just as you would protect yourselves, your wives, and your children, and Paradise will be yours." So we stood up and pledged allegiance to him. Sa'd ibn Zurarah, the youngest among us, held his hand and said, "O people of Yathrib, we have not even struck the backs of camels unless we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah, and that his expulsion today is a dispute for all the Arabs, and the killing of your best men, and the swords are about to reach you. So either you endure that and your reward will be with Allah, or you fear for yourselves and show your weakness. Clarify your choice, for it is easier for you." They said, "Remove this doubt, for by Allah, we will never abandon this pledge." So we pledged allegiance to him, and he placed conditions for us to be given Paradise in return.

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ stayed for ten years, tracing people in their homes during the season, in Muhjanah, 'Ukaz, and in their homes in Mina. He would say, 'Who will shelter me and support me until I deliver the messages of my Lord, and Paradise will be his?' But he ﷺ did not find anyone to support or shelter him until a man would leave Egypt or Yemen and his people would come to him and say, 'Beware of the Quraysh boy who walks among their caravans, inviting them to Allah.' They would point him out until Allah sent to him someone from Yathrib (Madina). The man would come to him, believe in him, and recite the Qur'an to him. Then he would return to his people, and they would embrace Islam until there was not a single house in Yathrib without a group of Muslims openly practicing Islam. They (the Muslims) consulted with each other and said, 'How long will the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be expelled and in fear in the mountains of Makkah?' So we set off until we reached him during the season. The people of 'Aqabah promised him and 'Abbas, his uncle, addressed the people of Yathrib, saying, 'O people of Yathrib, we gathered with him by a man and two men. When he looked at our faces, he said, 'These are people I don't know, they are young people.' We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you want us to pledge allegiance to you upon?' He said, 'Pledge allegiance to me upon hearing and obeying, in times of ease and difficulty, in matters of expenditure and hardship, and in commanding good and forbidding evil. And that you do not reproach me about Allah if you are not pleased with something, and that you support me when I come to you, denying me what you deny yourselves, your wives, and your children. Paradise will be yours.' So we pledged allegiance to him, and he took the hand of As'ad bin Zurarah, who was the youngest of the seventy except me. He said, 'O people of Yathrib, we never struck the liver of any animal except that we knew he was the Messenger of Allah, and his expulsion today is the separation of all the Arab tribes, and the killing of your best men. If you wish, you bear this burden and the reward will be with Allah, and if you fear for your own selves, leave him alone, for he is the most deserving to be excused before Allah.' They said, 'O As'ad, remove your hand from us. By Allah, we will not abandon this pledge nor break it.' So a man stood up and took the hand of 'Abbas, and guaranteed its fulfillment with Paradise.

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was not supported in a place where he was supported in the Battle of Uhud and this was denied to him. Ibn Abbas said, "Between me and those who deny the Book of Allah, Allah says, 'And Allah has already fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing them with His permission.'" Ibn Abbas said, "The word 'until' in the verse means 'until he forgave you'," and this refers to the archers. This is because the Prophet ﷺ had stationed them at their position and he said, 'Protect our backs. If you see us being killed, do not come to our aid, and if you see us being victorious and gaining spoils, do not share with us.' So when Allah granted victory to the Prophet ﷺ and allowed him to attack the disbelievers, the archers left their positions and entered the battlefield to collect spoils, and the rows of the Prophet's companions became scattered. They were in this state when the horses from that location attacked the Prophet's ﷺ companions. They began striking one another, and many Muslims were killed. From the beginning of the day until the time when the standard-bearer of the disbelievers was killed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions faced seven or nine of the enemy's division. The Muslims launched an attack against the horses, but they were not successful. The people said that the cave was beneath them, and the Shaytan shouted, 'Muhammad has been killed, so do not doubt it.' He said, 'And we do not doubt that he has indeed been killed,' until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ emerged between the two mountains and we recognized him by the way he walked. He said, 'So we rejoiced as if we had not been afflicted with what we had been afflicted with.' He said, 'Then he came to us while saying, 'The anger of Allah has intensified over a people who shed the blood of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' And he said again, 'O Allah, they cannot defeat us until they come to us.' So he stayed for an hour, and then Abu Sufyan shouted from beneath the mountain, 'Declare your superiority, O Hubal! Where is the son of Abu Kabsha? Where is the son of Abu Quhafa? Where is the son of Al-Khattab?' Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, shall I answer him?' He said, 'Yes.' So when Abu Sufyan said, Declare your superiority, O Hubal!' Umar said, 'Allah is the Most High and the Most Honorable.' Abu Sufyan said, 'O son of Al-Khattab, you have obtained some good fortune, but today you have come face to face with its like.' Umar said, 'This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, this is Abu Bakr, and this is Umar.' Abu Sufyan said, 'There are days that alternate with one another, and this is a battle where lives are lost.' Umar said, 'Killing us does not compare to being killed in Paradise.' Abu Sufyan said, 'You believe that?' Umar said, 'Indeed, if that is what you think, then we have lost and been defeated.' Then Abu Sufyan said, 'You will find in our killing you similar to our being killed.' And this was not according to our opinion. Then he was met by Hamiyah, the chief of the idolaters, and he said, 'Indeed, what you have said is something we do not deny.'"  

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

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ and pledged allegiance to him. It was reported to me that he wanted to send an army to my people. So, I said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, return the army, and I will ensure their Islam and obedience to you." He said, "Do that." So, he wrote to them and a delegation from them came to the Prophet ﷺ declaring their Islam and obedience. He said, "O brother of Suddah, you are obeyed among your people." I said, "Rather, Allah guided them and was kind to them." He said, "Shouldn't I appoint you over them?" I said, "Yes." So, he appointed me over them and wrote me a document. I asked him for their charity, and he granted it. On that day, the Prophet ﷺ was on a journey, and we stayed at a resting place. We performed `Asr prayer at the beginning of the night. I stayed with him, and his Companions left one by one until none of them remained except me. When dawn approached, he commanded me to call the Adhan. So I did. Then he said to me, "O brother of Suddah, do you have water with you?" I said, "Yes, a little that is not enough for you." He said, "Pour it into a container and bring it to me." So, I did. He put his hand inside it, and I saw water flowing between each two fingers of his, and an eye boiling in it. He said, "O brother of Suddah, if it were not for my shame before my Lord, we would have drunk from it and made you all drink from it, and then everyone from the people would have come to you for Wudu. (Islamic ablution)" He said, "Whoever asks the people for surplus wealth, a headache will afflict him and an illness will affect his stomach." He said, "Give me some charity." I said, "Indeed, Allah is pleased with the charity of His Prophet. He decreed it to be eight parts. If you are among them, I will give you your right share." When I arose in the morning, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, accept your leadership. I have no need for it." He said, "And why?" I said, "I heard you say, 'There is no good in leadership for a believer.' And I believed and heard you say, 'Whoever asks the people for surplus wealth, a headache will afflict him and an illness will affect his stomach.'" So, I asked you while I am rich." He said, "That is true. If you want, take it, and if you want, leave it." I said, "No, I will leave it." He said, "Then guide me to a man from those who came as the delegation." So, I guided him to one of the members of the delegation and turned away.  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَبَايَعْتُهُ فَبَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُرْسِلَ جَيْشًا إِلَى قَوْمِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رُدَّ الْجَيْشَ فَأَنَا لَكَ بِإِسْلَامِهِمْ وطَاعَتِهِمْ قَالَ «افْعَلْ» فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَأَتَى وَفْدٌ مِنْهُمُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِإِسْلَامِهِمْ وطَاعَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ «يَا أَخَا صُدَاءَ إِنَّكَ لَمُطَاعٌ فِي قَوْمِكَ» قُلْتُ بَلْ هَدَاهُمُ اللهُ وَأَحْسَنَ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ «أَفَلَا أُؤَمِّرُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ؟» قُلْتُ بَلَى فَأَمَّرَنِي عَلَيْهِمْ فَكَتَبَ لِي بِذَلِكَ كِتَابًا وَسَأَلْتُهُ مِنْ صَدَقَاتِهِمْ فَفَعَلَ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ فَنَزَلَ مَنْزِلًا فَأَعْرَسْنَا مِنْ أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ فَلَزِمْتُهُ وَجَعَلَ أَصْحَابُهُ يَنْقَطِعُونَ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ مَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ غَيْرِي فَلَمَّا تَحَيَّنَ الصُّبْحُ أَمَرَنِي فَأَذَّنْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي «يَا أَخَا صُدَاءَ مَعَكَ مَاءٌ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَلِيلٌ لَا يَكْفِيكَ قَالَ «صُبَّهُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ ثُمَّ ائْتِنِي بِهِ» فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِيهِ فَرَأَيْتُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ إِصْبَعَيْنِ مِنْ أَصَابِعِهِ عَيْنًا تَفُورُ قَالَ يَا أَخَا صُدَاءَ لَوْلَا أَنِّي أَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ رَبِّي لسَقِيَنا وَاسْتَقَيْنَا نَادِ فِي النَّاسِ مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ الْوُضُوءَ قَالَ فَاغْتَرَفَ مَنِ اغْتَرَفَ وَجَاءَ بِلَالٌ لِيُقِيمَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَخَا صُدَاءَ أَذَّنَ وَمَنْ أَذَّنَ فَهُوَ يُقِيمُ» فَلَمَّا صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ أَتَى أَهْلُ الْمَنْزِلِ يَشْكُونَ عَامِلَهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ حَدِّثْنَا بِمَا كَانَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ فَقَالَ «لَا خَيْرَ فِي الْإِمَارَةِ لِرَجُلٍ مُؤْمِنٍ» فَوَقَعَتْ فِي نَفْسِي وَأَتَاهُ سَائِلٌ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ «مَنْ سَأَلَ النَّاسَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى فَصُدَاعٌ فِي الرَّأْسِ ودَاءٌ فِي الْبَطْنِ» قَالَ فَأَعْطِنِي مِنَ الصَّدَقَاتِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَرْضَ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ بِحُكْمِ نَبِيٍّ وَلَا غَيْرِهِ حَتَّى جَعَلَهَا ثَمَانِيَةَ أَجْزَاءَ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ مِنْهُمْ أَعْطَيْتُكَ حَقَّكَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اقْبَلْ إِمَارَتَكَ فَلَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهَا قَالَ «وَلِمَ؟» قُلْتُ سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ «لَا خَيْرَ فِي الْإِمَارَةِ لِرَجُلٍ مُؤْمِنٍ» وَقَدْ آمَنْتُ وسَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ «مَنْ سَأَلَ النَّاسَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى فَصُدَاعٌ فِي الرَّأْسِ ودَاءٌ فِي الْبَطْنِ» فَقَدْ سَأَلْتُكَ وَأَنَا غَنِيٌّ قَالَ «هُوَ ذَاكَ فَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَخُذْ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَدَعْ» قُلْتُ بَلْ أَدَعُ قَالَ «فَدُلَّنِي عَلَى رَجُلٍ أُوَلِّيهِ» فَدَلَلْتُهُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْوَفْدِ فَوَلَّاهُ  

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ and pledged allegiance to him. It reached me that he intended to send an army to my people. So I said, "O Messenger of Allah, send back the army, for I will be responsible for their Islam and obedience." He said, "Do so." So he wrote to them, and a delegation from them came to the Prophet ﷺ pledging their Islam and obedience. He said, "O brother of Suddah, you have been followed by your people." I said, "Rather, Allah guided them and treated them kindly." He said, "Should I not appoint you as their leader?" I said, "Yes." So he appointed me as their leader and wrote a letter to me about it. I asked him for charity from their wealth, and he gave it to me. The Prophet ﷺ was traveling that day and he stopped at a place, so we performed the 'Asr prayer when the night began. I accompanied him, and he made his companions stay behind until there was no one left with him except me. When dawn approached, he ordered me to give the Azan. I gave it, and he said to me, "O brother of Suddah, do you have any water with you?" I said, "Yes, a little that is not enough for you." He said, "Pour it into a container and bring it to me." So I brought it to him, and he put his hand in it, and I saw a spring gushing between each two of his fingers. He said, "O brother of Suddah, if it were not that I feel shy before my Lord, we would have drank from it and taken from it." So he called the people and said, "Whoever among you wants to perform Wudu should come." Some people came and performed Wudu, and then Bilal came to announce the Iqamah. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, the brother of Suddah has given the Adhan, and the one who gives the Adhan should perform the Iqamah." When he prayed Fajr, the people of the house came complaining about their worker and saying, "O Messenger of Allah, tell us about what happened between us and our people in the Jahiliyyah." He turned to his companions, and I was among them, and said, "There is no goodness in leadership for a believing man." These words struck me, and a questioner came to him, so he asked him, and he said, "Whoever asks the people about the wealth they possess, he will have a headache in his head and a sickness in his stomach." He said, "Give me some charity." He replied, "Allah did not come with the ruling of a prophet or anyone else accepting charity until He made it eight parts. So if you are among them, I will give you your due." When I woke up in the morning, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, accept your leadership, for I have no need for it." He said, "Why?" I said, "I heard you say, 'There is no goodness in leadership for a believing man,' and I believed and I heard you say, 'Whoever asks the people about the wealth they possess, he will have a headache in his head and a sickness in his stomach,' and I have asked you for charity while I am wealthy." He said, "That is it. So if you wish, take it, and if you wish, leave it." I said, "Rather, I will leave it." He said, "Then show me someone who is worth it." So I guided him to a man from the delegation, and he granted it to him.

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

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

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

[Machine] We were on a journey with the Prophet ﷺ, and we traveled throughout the night until we reached the end of the night before dawn. We had an encounter, and there is no better encounter for a traveler than it. We were only awakened by the heat of the sun, as it was the first time Bilal had awakened, followed by others. Umar ibn al-Khattab was the last to wake up. When the Prophet ﷺ slept, no one would wake him up until he woke up himself, because we did not know what would happen to him in his sleep. When Umar woke up and saw what had happened to the people, he became very upset and raised his voice in takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar). He continued to say takbeer and raise his voice until he woke up the Prophet ﷺ with his voice. The people complained to him about what had happened to them, and he said, "Do not worry, continue the journey." So we continued the journey, and soon after that, we stopped and the Prophet ﷺ called for wudu. He performed wudu and then the call to prayer was made, and he prayed with the people. He prolonged his prayer, and when a man wanted to leave, he did not pray with the people. The Prophet ﷺ asked him why he did not pray with the people, and he said it was because he had janabah (sexual impurity) and no water. The Prophet ﷺ told him to go to the nearby irrigated land (sa'id), as it would be sufficient for him. Then the people complained to him about thirst, so we stopped again and he called a man named Abu Raja' and called Ali. He told them to go and search for water, so they set off and met a woman with two water containers on a camel. They approached her and asked for water, and she said she had made a promise about the water until that time. They told her to go, and she asked where to go, and they said to the Prophet ﷺ. She asked if it was the one they called As-Saabi', and they confirmed. So she went with them to the Prophet ﷺ and told him what had happened. He called for a vessel and placed the water containers in it, then he rinsed his mouth and returned the water to the container, and then he repeated it with the water containers. Then he tied the mouths of the containers and let the water flow, and called out to the people to drink and quench their thirst. He gave the one who had janabah his portion and told him to pour the remaining water on himself. By Allah, she was still standing, watching what he was doing with her water. It seemed to us that they were even more amazed than she was. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Gather for her whatever is between a jar and a sa'iqa and a handful." So they gathered food for her in a garment and placed it in front of her. The Prophet ﷺ told her, "You know, by Allah, we did not take anything from your water, but it was Allah who provided it for us." She went to her people, who were waiting for her, and they asked her why she had been delayed. She said, "By Allah, I have never seen people like them before. Either they are sorcerers, or he is truly the messenger of Allah ﷺ." The Muslims would change places with those around her who were polytheists and would not be struck by the drought that followed. One day, she asked her people if they were interested in Islam, and they obediently went and all embraced Islam.

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

جَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الرُّمَاةِ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَكَانُوا خَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ وَوَضَعَهُمْ مَكَانًا وَقَالَ لَهُمْ «إِنْ رَأَيْتُمُونَا تَخْطَفُنَا الطَّيْرُ فَلَا تَبْرَحُوا مِنْ مَكَانِكُمْ هَذَا حَتَّى أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ فَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمُونَا هَزَمَنَا الْقَوْمُ وَأَوْطَأْنَاهُمْ فَلَا تَبْرَحُوا حَتَّى أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ» قَالَ وَسَارَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ قَالَ فَهَزَمَهُمْ قَالَ فَأَمَا وَاللهِ رَأَيْتُ النِّسَاءَ يَشْتَدِدْنَ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ بَدَتْ خَلَاخِلُهُنَّ وَأَسْوُقُهُنَّ رَافِعَاتٍ ثِيَابَهُنَّ فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ الْغَنِيمَةَ أَيْ قَوِّمِ الْغَنِيمَةَ قَدْ ظَهَرَ أَصْحَابُكُمْ فَمَاذَا تَنْتَظِرُونَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ أَنَسِيتُمْ مَا قَالَ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا وَاللهِ لَنَأْتِيَنَّ النَّاسَ فَلَنُصِيبَنَّ مِنَ الْغَنِيمَةِ فَلَمَّا أَتَوْهُمْ صُرِفَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ فَأَقْبَلُوا مُنْهَزِمِينَ فَذَاكَ حِينَ يَدْعُوهُمُ الرَّسُولُ فِي أُخْرَاهُمْ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غَيْرُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا فَأَصَابُوا مِنَّا سَبْعِينَ [53] وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ أَصَابَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أَرْبَعِينَ وَمِائَةً سَبْعِينَ أَسِيرًا وَسَبْعِينَ قَتِيلًا فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ أَفِي الْقَوْمِ مُحَمَّدٌ؟ أَفِي الْقَوْمِ مُحَمَّدٌ؟ فَنَهَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُجِيبُوهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَفِي الْقَوْمِ ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ؟ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ أَفِي الْقَوْمِ ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ؟ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ أَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ فَقَدْ قُتِلُوا فَمَا مَلَكَ عُمَرُ نَفْسَهُ فَقَالَ كَذَبْتَ يَا عَدُوَّ اللهِ إِنَّ الَّذِي عَدَدْتَ لَأَحْيَاءٌ كُلُّهُمْ وَقَدْ بَقِيَ لَكَ مَا يَسُوؤكَ فَقَالَ يَوْمٌ بِيَوْمِ بَدْرٍ وَالْحُرُوبُ سِجَالٌ إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ فِي الْقَوْمِ مُثْلَةً لَمْ آمُرْ بِهَا وَلَمْ تَسُؤْنِي ثُمَّ أَخَذَ يَرْتَجِزُ أُعْلُ هُبَلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلَا تُجِيبُوهُ؟» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا نَقُولُ؟ قَالَ قُولُوا اللهُ أَعَلَى وَأَجَلُّ قَالَ إِنَّ لَنَا عُزَّى وَلَا عُزَّى لَكُمْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلَا تُجِيبُوهُ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا نَقُولُ؟ قَالَ قُولُوا اللهُ مَوْلَانَا وَلَا مَوْلَى لَكُمْ  

that he remembered Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he also remembered a mouthful of water which he had thrown on his face, after taking it from a well that was in their house. Mahmud said that he had heard ʿItban bin Malik, who was present with Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the battle of Badr saying, "I used to lead my people at Bani Salim in the prayer and there was a valley between me and those people. Whenever it rained it used to be difficult for me to cross it to go to their mosque. So I went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'I have weak eyesight and the valley between me and my people flows during the rainy season and it becomes difficult for me to cross it; I wish you would come to my house and pray at a place so that I could take that place as a praying place.' Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I will do so.' So Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr came to my house in the (next) morning after the sun had risen high. Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked my permission to let him in and I admitted him. He did not sit before saying, 'Where do you want us to offer the prayer in your house?' I pointed to the place where I wanted him to pray. So Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up for the prayer and started the prayer with Takbir and we aligned in rows behind him; and he offered two rakʿat, and finished them with Taslim, and we also performed Taslim with him. I detained him for a meal called "Khazir" which I had prepared for him.--("Khazir" is a special type of dish prepared from barley flour and meat soup)-- When the neighbors got the news that Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in my house, they poured it till there were a great number of men in the house. One of them said, 'What is wrong with Malik, for I do not see him?' One of them replied, 'He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Apostle.' On that Allah's Apostle said, 'Don't say this. Haven't you seen that he said, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah for Allah's sake only.' The man replied, 'Allah and His Apostle know better; but by Allah, we never saw him but helping and talking with the hypocrites.' Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, 'No doubt, whoever says. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and by that he wants the pleasures of Allah, then Allah will save him from Hell." Mahmud added, "I told the above narration to some people, one of whom was Abu Aiyub, the companion of Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the battle in which he (Abu Aiyub) died and Yazid bin Mu'awiya was their leader in Roman Territory. Abu Aiyub denounced the narration and said, 'I doubt that Messenger of Allah ﷺ ever said what you have said.' I felt that too much, and I vowed to Allah that if I remained alive in that holy battle, I would (go to Medina and) ask ʿItban bin Malik if he was still living in the mosque of his people. So when he returned, I assumed Ihram for Hajj or ʿUmra and then I proceeded on till I reached Medina. I went to Bani Salim and ʿItban bin Malik, who was by then an old blind man, was leading his people in the prayer. When he finished the prayer, I greeted him and introduced myself to him and then asked him about that narration. He told that narration again in the same manner as he had narrated it the first time."

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

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

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed with the pilgrims in their dwellings for ten years during the seasons of Mijannah, 'Ukaz, and their dwellings in Mina. He asked, "Who will provide refuge and support me until I deliver the messages of my Lord? For him is Paradise." However, he did not find anyone who would provide refuge and support him, until a man from Makkah or Yemen would enter his companion's dwelling, and his people or relatives would warn him, saying, "Beware of this young man from Quraysh, he will harm you. He walks among your bags and invites you to Allah, pointing at him with his finger." Then Allah sent a man from Yathrib who believed in him and recited the Quran to him. He returned to his people and they embraced Islam until there was no house left in Yathrib except that it had a group of Muslims who openly declared their faith. Then Allah sent for him and we met and gathered seventy of us and said, "How long will the Messenger of Allah be driven away in the mountains of Makkah and fear? So we traveled until we reached him during the season. We made an appointment with the people of 'Aqabah and gathered there one man, then two men, until we met him there. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, why should we pledge allegiance to you?" He replied, "Pledge allegiance to me in hearing and obedience, in times of ease and difficulty, in hardship and ease, in commanding the good and forbidding the evil, and that you will not blame me for the sake of Allah, regardless of what happens. And that you will support me if I come to you in Yathrib and will protect me from that which you protect yourselves, your wives, and your children. And for you is Paradise." So we said, "We pledge allegiance to you." He took the hand of As'ad bin Zurarah, the youngest of the seventy men except me, and said, "O people of Yathrib, we have not struck the liver of a camel except that we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah and that his leaving today means the separation of all the Arabs and the killing of your best men. And the swords will bite you. But as for you, you are a people who can bear the biting of swords, the killing of your best men, and the separation of all the Arabs. Take him, and your reward is with Allah. But as for you, you fear for yourselves and hesitate, so leave him. He is the most careful for your sake in the sight of Allah." So they said, "Hold your hand, O As'ad bin Zurarah. By Allah, we will not abandon this pledge nor will we resign from it." So we stood up and approached him, one by one, agreeing to his conditions and receiving the promise of Paradise in return.

[Machine] The following passage has been translated into English:

"He deserves this position more than those people or the group who were present when the Messenger of Allah passed away, and he was pleased with them. He named Ali, Uthman, Zubair, Talha, Saad, and Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf. He said, 'I bear witness to you, Abdullah Ibn Umar, even though he has no authority in this matter, like the consolation for him.' He also said, 'If the leadership falls into the hands of Saad, then that is good. Otherwise, let him seek the help of whichever one of you he is commanded to.' He said, 'I am not dismissing him due to any disability or betrayal.' He also said, 'I advise the caliph after me regarding the early migrants to acknowledge their rights and protect their sanctity. And I advise him concerning the Ansar, who took on the burden of the home and faith before them, to accept their kindness and pardon their mistakes. And I advise him regarding the people of the provinces, as they are the support of Islam, collectors of wealth, and the anger of the enemies. And let nothing be taken from them except their surplus beyond what pleases them. And I advise him regarding the Bedouins, as they are the roots of the Arabs and the backbone of Islam. Let their surplus be taken from the outskirts of their wealth and distributed to their poor. And I advise him regarding the covenant of Allah and the covenant of His Messenger, to fulfill their promise to them. And I advise him to fight from behind them and to not burden them beyond their capability.' When he passed away, we carried out his will and started walking. He mentioned the incident while burying him. He said, 'When we finished burying him and returned, this group of people assembled.' Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf said, 'Let's leave this matter to three of you.' Az-Zubair said, 'I have entrusted my matter to Ali.' Talha said, 'I have entrusted my matter to Uthman.' Saad said, 'I have entrusted my matter to Abdul Rahman.' Abdul Rahman said, 'Which one of you will absolve himself of this matter so that we can entrust it to him?' By Allah, he will judge with his own understanding and work diligently for the good of the nation. He said, 'The two sheikhs kept quiet.' Abdul Rahman said, 'Are you entrusting it to me? By Allah, I will not fail in fulfilling your best interests.' They said, 'Yes.' Abdul Rahman took the hand of one of them and said, 'You are from the close relatives of the Messenger of Allah and have a distinguished position in Islam. I have full confidence that if I appointed you, you would make justice your priority. And if I appointed Uthman, you would listen and obey him.' Then, he went to the other and said the same. When he made an agreement, he said to Uthman, 'Raise your hand, O Uthman,' and he pledged allegiance to him. Ali also pledged allegiance to him, and the people of the house pledged allegiance to him."

[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."

"عَنْ نَهْشَلِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ مُزَاحِمٍ، عَن ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ (قال:

مكث عمر) يَسْأَلُ عن أُوَيْسٍ الْقَرْنِى عَشْرَ سِنِينَ، فَذَكَر أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا أَهْلَ اليمَنِ! مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ مُرَادٍ فَلْيَقُمْ، فَقَامَ مَنْ كَانَ مِن مُرَادٍ وَقَعَدَ آخَرُونَ، فَقَالَ: أَفيكُمْ أُوَيْسٌ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يا أَميرَ الْمؤمِنيِنَ! لَا نَعْرِفُ أُوَيْسًا وَلَكِنِ ابْنُ أَخٍ لِى يُقَالُ لَهُ أُوَيْسٌ هُوَ أَضْعَفُ وَأَمْهنُ مِن أَنْ يَسْأَلَ مِثْلُكَ عَن مَثْلِهِ، قال له: أَبِحَرَمِنَا هو؟ قَالَ: نَعَم هُوَ بالأَرَاكِ بِعَرَفةَ يَرْعَى إِبِلَ الْقَوْمِ فَرَكِبَ عُمَرُ وَعَلِىٌّ ؓ حِمَارَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَا حَتَّى أَتَيَا الأَراكَ فَإِذا هُوَ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّى، يَضْرِبُ ببَصَرِه نَحْوَ مَسْجِدِه وقَدْ دَخَلَ بَعْضُهُ فِى بَعْضٍ، فَلَمْا رَأَيَاهُ قَالَ أحَدُهُما لِصَاحِبه: إِنْ يَكُ أَحَدٌ الَّذِى نَطلُبُهُ فَهَذَا هُوَ، فَلَما سَمِع حديثهما خَفَّفَ وَانْصَرَفَ، فسلما عليه فرد عليهما، فلما رَدَّ عَلَيْهِما: وَعَلَيْكُمَا السَّلَام وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّه وبركاته، قَالَا لَه: مَا اسْمُكَ رَحِمَك اللَّه؟ قَالَ: أَنَا رَاعِى هَذِهِ الإِبِل، قَالَا: أَخْبِرْنَا بِاسْمكَ، قَالَ: أَنَا أَجِيرُ الْقَوْم، قَالَا: مَا اسْمكَ؟ قال: أَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّه، قَالَ لَهُ عَلِىٌّ: قَدْ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّ مَن فِى السَّمَواتِ وَالأَرْضِ عبيدُ اللَّه فَأَنْشُدُكَ برَبّ هَذِهِ الْكَعْبَةِ, رَبِّ هَذَا الْحَرَمِ مَا اسْمُكَ الَّذِى سَمَّتْكَ بِه أُمُّكَ؟ قَالَ: وَمَا تُريدَان إِلَى ذَلكَ؟ قال: أَنَا أُوَيْسُ بْنُ عامر، فَقَالَا لَه: اكْشِفْ لَنَا عَن شِقِّكَ الأَيْسَرِ فَكَشَفَ لهما، فإذا لمعة بيضاء قدر الدرهم من غير سوء) فابْتَدَرَا يُقَبِّلَانِ المَوْضِعَ، ثُمَّ قَالَا لَهُ: إِنَّ رسُولَ ﷺ أَمَرَنَا أن نُقْرِئَكَ السَّلَامَ وَأَنْ نَسْأَلَكَ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ لَنَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ دُعَائِى فِى شَرْقِ الأَرْضِ وَغَرْبِهَا لِجَمِيع المُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمنَاتِ، فَقَالَا: ادْع لنا! فَدَعَا لَهُمَا وَلِلمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمؤْمِنَاتِ، فَقَالَ له عمر: أُعطيك شيئًا من رزقى أو من عطائى تستعين به، فقال: ثَوْباىَ جَدِيدَانِ، وَنَعْلَاىَ مَخْصُوفَتَانِ، وَمَعِى أَرْبَعَةُ دَرَاهمَ، وَلِى فَضْلَةٌ عنْدَ الْقَوْمِ، فَمَتَى أُفْنِى هَذَا؟ إِنَّهُ مَن أَمَّلَ جُمُعَةً أَمَّل شَهْرًا، وَمَن أَمَّلَ شَهْرًا أَمَّل سَنَةً، ثُمَّ رَدَّ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ إِبِلَهُمْ، ثُمَّ فَارَقَهُم فَلَم يَرَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ".  

"عنِ الْحَسَنِ: أَنَّ سُرَاقَةَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ الْمُدْلَجِىِّ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّ قُرَيْشًا جَعَلَتْ فِى رَسُول الله ﷺ وَأَبِى بَكْرٍ أَرْبَعِينَ أُوقِيَّةً، قَالَ: فَبَيْنَمَا أنَا جالِسٌ إِذْ جَاءنِى رَجُلٌ، فَقالَ: إِنّ الرَّجُلَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ جَعَلَتْ قُرَيْشٌ فِيهِمَا مَا جَعَلَتْ قَرِيبٌ مِنْكَ بِمَكانِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَأَتَيْتُ فَرَسِى (وَهُوَ المُوعى فَنَضَرْتُ بِه (* * *))، ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ رُمْحِى فَرَكِبْتُهُ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَجُرُّ الرُّمْحَ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَشْرَكَنِى فِيهِما أَهْلُ الْمَاءِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُما، قالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: هَذَا بَاغٍ يَبْغِينا،

فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَىَّ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ اكفِنَاهُ بِمَا شِئْتَ، قَالَ: فَوَحِلَ فَرَسِى وَإِنِّى لَفِى جَلَدٍ (*) مِنَ الأَرْضِ فَوَقَعْتُ عَلَى حَجَرٍ، فَانْقَلَبَ، فَقُلْتُ: أَدْعُو الَّذِى فَعَلَ بِفرَسِى مَا أَرَى أَنْ يُخَلِّصَهُ، وَعَاهَدَهُ أَنْ لَا يَعْصِيَهُ، فَدَعا لَهُ فَخَلَصَ الْفَرَسُ. فَقالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : أَوَاهِبُهُ أَنْتَ لِى؟ فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. فَقَالَ: فَهَاهُنا، قَالَ: فَعَمِّ عَنَّا النَّاسَ، وَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ السَّاحِلَ (* *) مِمَّا يَلِى الْبَحْر، فَكُنْتُ أَوَّلَ النَّهارِ لَهُمْ طَالِبًا، وآخِرَ اللَّيْلِ لَهُمْ مَسْلَحَةً (* * *)، وقَالَ لِى: إِذَا اسْتَقَرَرْنا بِالْمَدِينَة فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تَأتِينَا فَأتِنَا، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَظَهَرَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ وَأُحُدٍ وَأَسْلَمَ النَّاسُ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُمْ بَلَغَنى أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ خَالِدَ ابْنَ الْوَلِيدِ إِلَى بَنى مُدْلَجٍ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: أَنْشُدُكَ النِّعْمَةَ، فَقالَ الْقَوْمُ: مَهْ. فَقالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ دَعُوهُ، فَقالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : مَا تُريدُ؟ فَقُلْتُ: بَلَغَنى أَنَّكَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَبْعَثَ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ إِلَى قَوْمِى، فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تُوادِعَهُمْ، فَإِنْ أَسْلَمَ قَوْمُهُمْ أَسْلَمُوا مَعَهُمْ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يُسْلِمُوا لَمْ تَخْشُنْ صدُورُ قَوْمِهِمْ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ بِيَدِ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ، فَقالَ لَهُ: اذْهَبْ مَعَهُ فَاصْنَعْ مَا أَرَادَ، فَإِنْ أَسْلَمَتْ قُرَيْشٌ أَسَلَمُوا مَعَهُمْ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {وَدُّوا لَوْ تَكْفُرُونَ كَمَا كَفَرُوا ... } حَتَّى بَلَغَ: {إِلَّا الَّذِينَ يَصِلُونَ ... } الآية.

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

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