When Allah favored His Apostle with the properties of Hawazin tribe as Fai (booty), he started giving to some Quarries men even up to one-hundred camels each, whereupon some Ansari men said about Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "May Allah forgive His Apostle! He is giving to (men of) Quraish and leaves us, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dropping blood (of the infidels)" When Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed of what they had said, he called the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent and did not call anybody else along, with them. When they gathered, Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said, "What is the statement which, I have been informed, and that which you have said?" The learned ones among them replied," O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! The wise ones amongst us did not say anything, but the youngsters amongst us said, 'May Allah forgive His Apostle; he gives the Quarish and leaves the Ansar, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dribbling (wet) with the blood of the infidels.' " Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, I give to such people as are still close to the period of Infidelity (i.e. they have recently embraced Islam and Faith is still weak in their hearts). Won't you be pleased to see people go with fortune, while you return with Messenger of Allah ﷺ to your houses? By Allah, what you will return with, is better than what they are returning with." The Ansar replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we are satisfied' Then the Prophet ﷺ said to them." You will find after me, others being preferred to you. Then be patient till you meet Allah and meet His Apostle at Al-Kauthar (i.e. a fount in Paradise)." (Anas added:) But we did not remain patient.

أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ مَا أَفَاءَ فَطَفِقَ يُعْطِي رِجَالاً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الإِبِلِ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَدَعُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَحُدِّثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِمَقَالَتِهِمْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ وَلَمْ يَدْعُ مَعَهُمْ أَحَدًا غَيْرَهُمْ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا كَانَ حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ قَالَ لَهُ فُقَهَاؤُهُمْ أَمَّا ذَوُو آرَائِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا أُنَاسٌ مِنَّا حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُ الأَنْصَارَ وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالاً حَدِيثٌ عَهْدُهُمْ بِكُفْرٍ أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالأَمْوَالِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ بَعْدِي أُثْرَةً شَدِيدَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوُا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ﷺ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَلَمْ نَصْبِرْ

(the wife of the Prophet) Messenger of Allah ﷺ died while Abu Bakr was at a place called As-Sunah (Al-'Aliya) 'Umar stood up and said, "By Allah! Messenger of Allah ﷺ is not dead!" 'Umar (later on) said, "By Allah! Nothing occurred to my mind except that." He said, "Verily! Allah will resurrect him and he will cut the hands and legs of some men." Then Abu Bakr came and uncovered the face of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, kissed him and said, "Let my mother and father be sacrificed for you, (O Messenger of Allah ﷺ), you are good in life and in death. By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, Allah will never make you taste death twice." Then he went out and said, "O oath-taker! Don't be hasty." When Abu Bakr spoke, 'Umar sat down. Abu Bakr praised and glorified Allah and said, No doubt! Whoever worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall never die." Then he recited Allah's Statement.:-- "(O Muhammad) Verily you will die, and they also will die." (39.30) He also recited:-- "Muhammad is no more than an Apostle; and indeed many Apostles have passed away, before him, If he dies Or is killed, will you then Turn back on your heels? And he who turns back On his heels, not the least Harm will he do to Allah And Allah will give reward to those Who are grateful." (3.144) The people wept loudly, and the Ansar were assembled with Sad bin 'Ubada in the shed of Bani Saida. They said (to the emigrants). "There should be one 'Amir from us and one from you." Then Abu Bakr, Umar bin Al-Khattab and Abu 'baida bin Al-Jarrah went to them. 'Umar wanted to speak but Abu Bakr stopped him. 'Umar later on used to say, "By Allah, I intended only to say something that appealed to me and I was afraid that Abu Bakr would not speak so well. Then Abu Bakr spoke and his speech was very eloquent. He said in his statement, "We are the rulers and you (Ansars) are the ministers (i.e. advisers)," Hubab bin Al-Mundhir said, "No, by Allah we won't accept this. But there must be a ruler from us and a ruler from you." Abu Bakr said, "No, we will be the rulers and you will be the ministers, for they (i.e. Quarish) are the best family amongst the 'Arabs and of best origin. So you should elect either 'Umar or Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah as your ruler." 'Umar said (to Abu Bakr), "No but we elect you, for you are our chief and the best amongst us and the most beloved of all of us to Messenger of Allah ﷺ." So 'Umar took Abu Bakr's hand and gave the pledge of allegiance and the people too gave the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr. Someone said, "You have killed Sad bin Ubada." 'Umar said, "Allah has killed him."

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who is willing to kill Kaʿb bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?" Thereupon Muhammad bin Maslama got up saying, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Would you like that I kill him?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes," Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kaʿb). "The Prophet ﷺ said, "You may say it." Then Muhammad bin Maslama went to Kaʿb and said, "That man (i.e. Muhammad demands Sadaqa (i.e. Zakat) from us, and he has troubled us, and I have come to borrow something from you." On that, Kaʿb said, "By Allah, you will get tired of him!" Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Now as we have followed him, we do not want to leave him unless and until we see how his end is going to be. Now we want you to lend us a camel load or two of food." (Some difference between narrators about a camel load or two.) Kaʿb said, "Yes, (I will lend you), but you should mortgage something to me." Muhammad bin Mas-lama and his companion said, "What do you want?" Kaʿb replied, "Mortgage your women to me." They said, "How can we mortgage our women to you and you are the most handsome of the 'Arabs?" Kaʿb said, "Then mortgage your sons to me." They said, "How can we mortgage our sons to you? Later they would be abused by the people's saying that so-and-so has been mortgaged for a camel load of food. That would cause us great disgrace, but we will mortgage our arms to you." Muhammad bin Maslama and his companion promised Kaʿb that Muhammad would return to him. He came to Kaʿb at night along with Kaʿb's foster brother, Abu Na'ila. Kaʿb invited them to come into his fort, and then he went down to them. His wife asked him, "Where are you going at this time?" Kaʿb replied, "None but Muhammad bin Maslama and my (foster) brother Abu Na'ila have come." His wife said, "I hear a voice as if dropping blood is from him, Kaʿb said. "They are none but my brother Muhammad bin Maslama and my foster brother Abu Naila. A generous man should respond to a call at night even if invited to be killed." Muhammad bin Maslama went with two men. (Some narrators mention the men as 'Abu bin Jabr. Al Harith bin Aus and ʿAbbad bin Bishr). So Muhammad bin Maslama went in together with two men, and sail to them, "When Kaʿb comes, I will touch his hair and smell it, and when you see that I have got hold of his head, strip him. I will let you smell his head." Kaʿb bin Al-Ashraf came down to them wrapped in his clothes, and diffusing perfume. Muhammad bin Maslama said. " have never smelt a better scent than this. Kaʿb replied. "I have got the best 'Arab women who know how to use the high class of perfume." Muhammad bin Maslama requested Kaʿb "Will you allow me to smell your head?" Kaʿb said, "Yes." Muhammad smelt it and made his companions smell it as well. Then he requested Kaʿb again, "Will you let me (smell your head)?" Kaʿb said, "Yes." When Muhammad got a strong hold of him, he said (to his companions), "Get at him!" So they killed him and went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him. (Abu Rafiʿ) was killed after Kaʿb bin Al-Ashraf."

When Allah gave Messenger of Allah ﷺ what he gave of the properties of the Hawazin tribe as a war booty, the Prophet ﷺ started giving some men 100 camels each. The Ansar (then) said, "May Allah forgive Messenger of Allah ﷺs as he gives to Quraish and leaves us although our swords are still dribbling with the blood of Quraish." Allah Apostle was informed of their statement, so he sent for the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent, and did not call anybody else along with them. When they al I gathered, the Prophet ﷺ got up and said, "What is this talk being informed to me about you?" The learned men amongst the Ansar said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Our chiefs did not say anything, but some people amongst us who are younger in age said. 'May Allah forgive Messenger of Allah ﷺ as he gives (of the booty) to Quraish and leaves us though our swords are still dribbling with their blood." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I give to these men who have newly deserted heathenism (and embraced Islam) so as to attract their hearts. Won't you be happy that the people take the wealth while you take the Prophet ﷺ with you to your homes? By Allah, what you are taking is better than whatever they are taking." They (i.e. the Ansar) said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We are satisfied." The Prophet ﷺ then said to them. "You will find others favored over you greatly, so be patient till you meet Allah and His Apostle and I will be at the Tank then." Anas added: But they did not remain patient.

نَاسٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ حِينَ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ مَا أَفَاءَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ فَطَفِقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُعْطِي رِجَالاً الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الإِبِلِ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَحُدِّثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَقَالَتِهِمْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ وَلَمْ يَدْعُ مَعَهُمْ غَيْرَهُمْ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا قَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ فَقَالَ فُقَهَاءُ الأَنْصَارِ أَمَّا رُؤَسَاؤُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا نَاسٌ مِنَّا حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَإِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالاً حَدِيثِي عَهْدٍ بِكُفْرٍ أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالأَمْوَالِ وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ فَوَاللَّهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا فَقَالَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَتَجِدُونَ أُثْرَةً شَدِيدَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوُا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ﷺ فَإِنِّي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَلَمْ يَصْبِرُوا

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.

May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he bestowed (these camels) upon the people of Quraish, and he ignored us, whereas our swords are still dripping blood. Anas b. Malik said: Their statement was conveyed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he sent (someone) to the Ansar and gathered them under a tent of leather. When they had assembled, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said: What is this news that has reached me from you? The wise people of the Ansar said: Messenger of Allah, so far as the sagacious amongst us are concerned they have said nothing, but we have amongst us persons of immature age; they said: May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he gave to the Quraish and ignored us (despite the fact) that our swords are besmeared with their blood. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I give (at times material gifts) to persons who were quite recently in the state of unbelief, so that I may incline them to truth Don't you feel delighted that people should go with riches, and you should go back to your places with the Messenger of Allah? By Allah, that with which you would return is better than that with which they would return. They said: Yes, Messenger of Allah, we are pleased. The Prophet said too: You would find marked preference (in conferring of the material gifts) in future, so you should show patience till you meet Allah and His Messenger and I would he at the Haud Kauthar. They said: We would show patience.

By Allah, there is no maintenance allowance for you, except in case you are pregnant. She came to Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) and mentioned their opinion to him, whereupon he said: There is no maintenance allowance for you. Then she sought permission to move (to another place), and he (the Holy Prophet) permitted her. She said: Messenger of Allah, where (should I go)? He said: To the house of Ibn Umm Maktum and, as he is blind, she could put off her garmeqts in his presence and he would not see her. And when her 'Idda was over. Allah's Apostle ﷺ married her to Usama b. Zaid. Marwan (the governor of Medina) sent Qabisa b. Dhuwaib in order to ask her about this hadith, and she narrated it to him, whereupon Marwan said: We have not heard this hadith but from a woman. We would adopt a safe (path) where we found the people. Fatima said that when these words of, Marwan were conveyed to her. There is between me and you the word of Allah, the Exalted and Majestic: Do" not turn them out" of their houses. She asserted: This is in regard to the revocable divorce what new (turn can the event take) after three pronouncements (separation between irrevocable). Why do you say there is no maintenance allowance for her if she is not pregnant? Then on what ground do you restrain her?

أَنْ تَكُونِي حَامِلاً فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَتْ لَهُ قَوْلَهُمَا فَقَالَ لاَ نَفَقَةَ لَكِ فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ فِي الاِنْتِقَالِ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ أَيْنَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ إِلَى ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَكَانَ أَعْمَى تَضَعُ ثِيَابَهَا عِنْدَهُ وَلاَ يَرَاهَا فَلَمَّا مَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا أَنْكَحَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا مَرْوَانُ قَبِيصَةَ بْنَ ذُؤَيْبٍ يَسْأَلُهَا عَنِ الْحَدِيثِ فَحَدَّثَتْهُ بِهِ فَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ لَمْ نَسْمَعْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ إِلاَّ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ سَنَأْخُذُ بِالْعِصْمَةِ الَّتِي وَجَدْنَا النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ حِينَ بَلَغَهَا قَوْلُ مَرْوَانَ فَبَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمُ الْقُرْآنُ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ { لاَ تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِنَّ} الآيَةَ قَالَتْ هَذَا لِمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ مُرَاجَعَةٌ فَأَىُّ أَمْرٍ يَحْدُثُ بَعْدَ الثَّلاَثِ فَكَيْفَ تَقُولُونَ لاَ نَفَقَةَ لَهَا إِذَا لَمْ تَكُنْ حَامِلاً فَعَلاَمَ تَحْبِسُونَهَا

I heard 'Ali (Allah be pleased with him) as saying: Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me and Zubair and Miqdad saying: Go to the garden of, Khakh [it is a place between Medina and Mecca at a distance of twelve miles from Medina] and there you will find a woman riding a camel. She would be in possession of a letter, which you must get from her. So we rushed on horses and when we met that woman, we asked her to deliver that letter to us. She said: There is no letter with me. We said: Either bring out that letter or we would take off your clothes. She brought out that letter from (the plaited hair of) her head. We delivered that letter to Messenger of Allah ﷺ in which Hatib b. Abu Balta'a had informed some people amongst the polytheists of Mecca about the affairs of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Hatib, what is this? He said: Messenger of Allah, do not be hasty in judging my intention. I was a person attached to the Quraish. Sufyan said: He was their ally but had no relationship with them. (Hatib further said): Those who are with you amongst the emigrants have blood-relationship with them (the Quraish) and thus they would protect their families. I wished that when I had no blood-relationship with them I should find some supporters from (amongst them) who would help my family. I have not done this because of any unbelief or apostasy and I have no liking for the unbelief after I have (accepted) Islam. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: You have told the truth. 'Umar said: Messenger of Allah, permit me to strike the neck of this hypocrite. But he (the Holy Prophet) said: He was a participant in Badr and you little know that Allah revealed about the people of Badr: Do what you like for there is forgiveness for you. And Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said:" O you who believe, do not take My enemy and your enemy for friends" (lx. 1). And there is no mention of this verse in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Abu Bakr and Zubair and Ishaq has in his narration made a mention of the recitation of this verse by Sufyan.

سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا ؓ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَا وَالزُّبَيْرَ وَالْمِقْدَادَ فَقَالَ ائْتُوا رَوْضَةَ خَاخٍ فَإِنَّ بِهَا ظَعِينَةً مَعَهَا كِتَابٌ فَخُذُوهُ مِنْهَا فَانْطَلَقْنَا تَعَادَى بِنَا خَيْلُنَا فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِالْمَرْأَةِ فَقُلْنَا أَخْرِجِي الْكِتَابَ فَقَالَتْ مَا مَعِي كِتَابٌ فَقُلْنَا لَتُخْرِجِنَّ الْكِتَابَ أَوْ لَتُلْقِيَنَّ الثِّيَابَ فَأَخْرَجَتْهُ مِنْ عِقَاصِهَا فَأَتَيْنَا بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا فِيهِ مِنْ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ إِلَى نَاسٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ يُخْبِرُهُمْ بِبَعْضِ أَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا حَاطِبُ مَا هَذَا قَالَ لاَ تَعْجَلْ عَلَىَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي كُنْتُ امْرَأً مُلْصَقًا فِي قُرَيْشٍ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ كَانَ حَلِيفًا لَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهَا وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ كَانَ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ لَهُمْ قَرَابَاتٌ يَحْمُونَ بِهَا أَهْلِيهِمْ فَأَحْبَبْتُ إِذْ فَاتَنِي ذَلِكَ مِنَ النَّسَبِ فِيهِمْ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ فِيهِمْ يَدًا يَحْمُونَ بِهَا قَرَابَتِي وَلَمْ أَفْعَلْهُ كُفْرًا وَلاَ ارْتِدَادًا عَنْ دِينِي وَلاَ رِضًا بِالْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ الإِسْلاَمِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صَدَقَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ دَعْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَضْرِبْ عُنُقَ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ فَقَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ { يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ} وَلَيْسَ فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَزُهَيْرٍ ذِكْرُ الآيَةِ وَجَعَلَهَا إِسْحَاقُ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ مِنْ تِلاَوَةِ سُفْيَانَ

‘Ubaid Allah said “Marwan sent someone (Qabisah) to Fatimah and asked her (about the case). She said that she was the wife of Abu Hafs. The Prophet ﷺ appointed ‘Ali as governor in a certain part of Yemen. Her husband also proceeded with him. From there he sent a message to her pronouncing one divorce that had yet remained. He commanded ‘Ayyash bin Abi Rabi’ah and Al Harith bin Hisham to provide maintenance to her. They said “By Allah there is no sustenance for her except in case she is pregnant.” She came to the Prophet ﷺ who said “There is no sustenance for you except in case you are pregnant. She then asked permission to shift (from her house) and he gave her permission.” She asked “Where should I shift. Apostle of Allaah ﷺ? The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said to Ibn Umm Maktum . He was blind. She would undress herself and he could not see her. She lived there till her waiting period passed. The Prophet ﷺ married her to Usamah. Qabisah then returned to Marwan and narrated that to him. Marwan said “We did not hear this tradition except from a woman, so we shall follow the reliable practice on which we found the people”. When this reached Fatimah she said “between me and you is the Book of Allah”. Allaah the exalted said “Divorce them for their waiting period...” Thou knowest not it may be that Allaah will afterward bring some new thing to pass. She said “What a new thing will emerge after triple divorce.” Abu Dawud said “A similar tradition has been narrated by Yunus on the authority of Al Zuhri. As for Al Zubaidi he narrated both traditions, the tradition of ‘Ubaid Allah in the version of Ma’mar and the tradition of Abu Salamah in the version of ‘Aqil.” Abu Dawud said “Muhammad bin Ishaq narrated on the authority of Al Zuhri that Qabisah bin Dhuwaib transmitted to him the version which was narrated by ‘Ubaid Allah bin ‘Abd Allaah which has Qabisah then returned to Marwan and informed him about that.”

It was narrated from 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Utbah that during the reign of Marwan, 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin 'Uthman, who was a young man, issued a final divorce to the daughter of Sa'eed bin Zaid, whose mother was Bint Qais. Her maternal aunt, Fatimah bint Qais, sent word to her telling her to move from the house of 'Abdullah bin 'Amr. Marwan heard of that and he sent word to the daughter of Sa'eed, telling her to go back to her home, and asking her why she had moved from her home before her 'Iddah was over? She sent word to him telling him that her maternal aunt had told her to do that. Fatimah bint Qais said that she had been married to Abu 'Amr bin Hafs, and when the Messenger of Allah appointed 'Ali bin Abi Talib as governor of Yemen, he went out with him and sent word to her that she was divorced with the third Talaq. He told Al-Harith bin Hisham and 'Ayyash bin Abi Rai'ah to spend on her. She sent word to Al-Harith and 'Ayyash asking them what her husband had told them to spend on her, and they said: 'By Allah, she has no right to any maintenance from us, unless she is pregnant, and she cannot come into our home without our permission.' She said that she came to the Messenger of Allah and told him about that, and he stated that they were correct. Fatimah said: 'Where should I move to, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Move to the home of Ibn Umm Maktum, the blind man whom Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, named in His Book.' Fatimah said: 'So I observed my 'Iddah there. He was a man who has lost his sight, so I used to take off my garments in his house, until the Messenger of Allah married me to Usamah bin Zaid.' Marwan criticized her for that and said: 'I have never heard this Hadith from anyone before you. I will continue to follow the ruling that the people have been following.'"

"By Allah, she is not entitled to any provision. So, she sent to Al-Harith bin Hisham and 'Ayyash asking them for the provisions from us unless she is pregnant, and she has no right to live in our house unless we permit her." Fatimah said that she went to the Messenger of Allah and told him about that and he said that they had told the truth. She said: "I said: 'Where shall I move to, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Move to the house of Ibn Umm Maktum' -who was the blind man, concerning whom Allah rebuked him in His Book. I moved to his house, and I used to take off my outer garments." Then the Messenger of Allah married her to Usamah bin Zaid.

I have come from Koofah, O Ameer al-­Mu'mineen, and I left behind in it a man who dictates the Mushaf From memory. ‘Umar got exceedingly angry and said: Who is he, woe to you? He said: 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood. ‘Umar began to calm down, and went back to normal, then he said: Woe to you, I do not know of anyone who is more qualified to do that than him, and I will tell you about that. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to stay up at night talking with Abu Bakr ؓ discussing some affairs of the Muslims. He stayed up talking with him one night, and I was with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out, and we went out with him, and we saw a man standing and praying in the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ listened to his recitation, and as soon as we recognised him the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿWhoever would like to recite the Qur'an fresh as it was revealed, let him recite it according to the recitation of Ibn Umm 'Abd.ʿ Then the same man sat and offered supplication (du'a') and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ started saying to him: ʿAsk, you will be given;ask, you will be given.” ‘Umar said: By Allah, I shall go to him tomorrow and tell hirm the glad tidings. I went to him the next morning to tell him the glad tidings, and I found that Abu Bakr had beaten me to it and given him the glad tidings. By Allah, I never competed with him to do good but he beat me to it.

[AI] Some of the Ansar said on the day of Hunayn, when Allah bestowed upon His Messenger the spoils of war, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would give one hundred camels to every man of Quraysh. They said, "May Allah forgive the Messenger of Allah; he gives Quraysh and leaves us, and our swords are dripping with their blood." Anas said, "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed about their statements, he sent for the Ansar and gathered them in a dome made of adobe, and no one else was with them. When they had gathered, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said, "What is the news that has reached me about you?" The Ansar said: "As for those who are of our opinion, they did not say anything, but as for the newcomers among us, they said such and such in response to what they had said." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, I give to men who have newly entered into a pledge of disbelief, which I hope they will embrace or ask me for. Do you not want the people to go away with the wealth and you return to your own possessions with the Messenger of Allah?" They said, "Indeed, O Messenger of Allah, we are satisfied." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, you will find severe difficulty after me, so be patient until you meet Allah and His Messenger, for I will meet you at the Pond." Anas said, "So we were patient."

أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ حِينَ أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ أَمْوَالَ هَوَازِنَ فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي رِجَالًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ كُلَّ رَجُلٍ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَحُدِّثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَقَالَتِهِمْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ وَلَمْ يَدْعُ مَعَهُمْ أَحَدًا غَيْرَهُمْ فَلَمَّااجْتَمَعُوا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ؟ فَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ أَمَّا ذَوُو رَأْيِنَا فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا نَاسٌ حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا كَذَا وَكَذَا لِلَّذِي قَالُوا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي لَأُعْطِي رِجَالًا حُدَثَاءَ عَهْدٍ بِكُفْرٍ أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ أَوْ قَالَ أَسْتَأْلِفُهُمْ أَفَلَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالْأَمْوَالِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ؟ فَوَاللهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ قَالُوا أَجَلْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّكُمْ سَتَجِدُونَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً شَدِيدَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْا اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنِّي فَرَطُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَلَمْ نَصْبِرْ

[AI] On the day of Hunayn, the Hawazin tribe came with their children, women, camels, and livestock, and they formed rows, increasing in number against the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . When they met, the Muslims turned their backs, as Allah the Almighty had stated. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O servants of Allah, I am the slave of Allah and His Messenger. O people of Ansar, I am the slave of Allah and His Messenger." So Allah defeated the polytheists and they did not strike with a sword or stab with a spear. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on that day, "Whoever kills a disbeliever, his belongings are his reward." Abu Talhah killed twenty men that day and took their belongings. Abu Qatadah said, "O Messenger of Allah, I struck a man with a chainmail armor and was unable to retrieve it. Look for someone who took it." A man stood up and said, "I took it, so give it to me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would never be asked for something and refuse to give it, so he remained silent. 'Umar said, "By Allah, Allah will not grant you and give it to the likes of you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed and said, "Umar is truthful." The mother of Sulaym had a dagger with her, and Abu Talhah asked her, "Why do you have this with you?" She said, "I took it in case any of the disbelievers come close to me, I can stab him in the stomach." Abu Talhah said, "O Messenger of Allah, don't you hear what Umm Sulaym is saying?" She said, "O Messenger of Allah, kill those who come after us from the enemies because they were defeated because of you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah has sufficed us and blessed us, O Umm Sulaym."

أَنَّ هَوَازِنَ جَاءَتْ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ بِالصِّبْيَانِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالْإِبِلِ وَالنَّعَمِ فَجَعَلُوهُمْ صُفُوفًا يُكَثِّرُونَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا الْتَقَوْا وَلَّى الْمُسْلِمُونَ مُدْبِرِينَ كَمَا قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا عِبَادَ اللهِ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ وَرَسُولُهُ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ وَرَسُولُهُ فَهَزَمَ اللهُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَالَ عَفَّانُ وَلَمْ يَضْرِبُوا بِسَيْفٍ وَلَمْ يَطْعَنُوا بِرُمْحٍ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَنْ قَتَلَ كَافِرًا فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ فَقَتَلَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَوْمَئِذٍ عِشْرِينَ رَجُلًا وَأَخَذَ أَسْلَابَهُمْ قَالَ وَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ضَرَبْتُ رَجُلًا عَلَى حَبْلِ الْعَاتِقِ وَعَلَيْهِ دِرْعٌ فَأُجْهِضْتُ عَنْهُ فَانْظُرْ مَنْ أَخَذَهَا فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَنَا أَخَذْتُهَا فَأَرْضِهِ مِنْهَا وَأَعْطِنِيهَا قَالَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُسْأَلُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ أَوْ سَكَتَ فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لَا وَاللهِ لَا يُفِيئُهَا اللهُ عَلَى أَسَدٍ مِنْ أُسْدِهِ وَيُعْطِيكَهَا فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ صَدَقَ عُمَرُ قَالَ وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ مَعَهَا خِنْجَرٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ مَا هَذَا مَعَكِ؟ قَالَتْ اتَّخَذْتُهُ إِنْ دَنَا مِنِّي بَعْضُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَنْ أَبْعَجَ بِهِ بَطْنَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا تَسْمَعُ مَا تَقُولُ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ؟ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اقْتُلْ مَنْ بَعْدَنَا مِنَ الطُّلَقَاءِ انْهَزَمُوا بِكَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ كَفَانَا وَأَحْسَنَ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ

[AI] To be pregnant and came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and mentioned it to him, so he said, "You are not allowed to travel unless you have permission." She asked, "Where should I go, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "To Ibn Um Maktum, who is blind, and you can leave your clothes with him as he cannot see you." When her waiting period ended, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ married her to Usamah ibn Zaid. Marwan ibn Tha'labah Al-Qubaysi was sent to her to ask her about this hadith, so she narrated it to him. Marwan said, "We have not heard of this hadith except from a woman. We will abide by the protection that we have found people adhering to." Fatimah, when she heard Marwan's statement, said, "Between you and us is the Quran. Allah ﷻ says, 'Do not drive them out of their houses, nor shall they themselves leave, except in case they are guilty of some open indecency.' [Quran 65:1] And it continues, 'You do not know; Allah may bring about something new after that.' [Quran 65:1] It is meant for those who have a guardian. So, what matter can come up after three pronouncements of talaq?"

أَنْ تَكُونِي حَامِلًا فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ قَوْلَهُمَا فَقَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونِي حَامِلًا وَاسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ فِي الِانْتِقَالِ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ أَيْنَ تَرَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ إِلَى ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَكَانَ أَعْمَى تَضَعُ ثِيَابَهَا عِنْدَهُ وَلَا يَرَاهَا فَلَمَّا مَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا أَنْكَحَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍفَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا مَرْوَانُ قَبِيصَةَ بْنَ ذُؤَيْبٍ يَسْأَلُهَا عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَحَدَّثَتْهُ بِهِ فَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ لَمْ نَسْمَعْ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ إِلَّا مِنَ امْرَأَةٍ سَنَأْخُذُ بِالْعِصْمَةِ الَّتِي وَجَدْنَا النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ حِينَ بَلَغَهَا قَوْلُ مَرْوَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمُ الْقُرْآنُ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ {لَا تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَلَا يَخْرُجْنَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْتِينَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ} [الطلاق 1] حَتَّى بَلَغَ {لَا تَدْرِي لَعَلَّ اللهَ يُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَمْرًا} [الطلاق 1] قَالَتْ هَذَا لِمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ مُرَاجَعَةٌ فَأَيُّ أَمْرٍ يُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ الثَّلَاثِ

[AI] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, I said to a man from the Ansar, "Come, let us seek knowledge, for the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ are still alive." He said in astonishment, "O Ibn Abbas, don't you see that people are in need of you? And among the people, are there any companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" I left that and approached to seek knowledge. If a hadith reached me from a person who heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I would go to him and sit at his door, with the wind blowing on my face. He would come out and say, "O cousin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, what brings you here? What do you need?" I would say, "I have heard a hadith that was narrated to me from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He would say, "Why didn't you send for me?" And I would say, "I am more entitled to come to you." So that man remained until the people gathered around me, and he said, "This young man was more intelligent than me."

لَمَّا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ «هَلُمَّ يَا فُلَانُ فَلْنَطْلُبِ الْعِلْمَ فَإِنَّ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَحْيَاءٌ» قَالَ عَجَبًا لَكَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ تَرَى النَّاسَ يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَفِي النَّاسِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ فِيهِمْ؟ قَالَ فَتَرَكْتُ ذَاكَ وَأَقْبَلْتُ أَطْلُبُ إِنْ كَانَ الْحَدِيثُ لَيَبْلُغُنِي عَنِ الرَّجُلِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَآتِيهِ فَأَجْلِسُ بِبَابَهُ فَتَسْفِي الرِّيحُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَيَخْرُجُ إِلَيَّ فَيَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ مَا حَاجَتُكَ؟ فَأَقُولُ «حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي تَرْوِيهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ» فَيَقُولُ «أَلَا أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيَّ؟» فَأَقُولُ «أَنَا أَحَقُّ أَنْ آتِيَكَ» قَالَ فَبَقِيَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ حَتَّى أَنَّ النَّاسَ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ «هَذَا الْفَتَى كَانَ أَعْقَلَ مِنِّي»

[AI] We performed Hajj and passed through the route of Al-Munkadir, and at that time people were taking a wrong path. So, we got lost. I said, "We were like this when we were in a barren land, it appeared as if rain poured upon us from the earth." Then, he asked, "Do you know where you are?" I replied, "No." He said, "You are in Al-Raba'ib, and this white hill that you see is the bones of Bakr ibn Wail and his companion. And this is the grave of Kulayb and his brother Muhallil." Then, he guided us towards the right path. After that, he said, "Here is a man who was a companion of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . Do you have any connection with him?" I said, "Yes." So, he took us to a sheikh with white eyebrows wearing a turban in a dome called Adam. We asked him, "Who are you?" He replied, "I am Al-Adda’as bin Khalid, the knight among the companions during the pre-Islamic era." We asked him to narrate a hadith about the Prophet ﷺ . He said, "We were with the Prophet ﷺ when Qummat was praised by someone and he seemed frightened. Then, he returned and said, 'Beware of the three deceivers.' Ibn Mas'ud asked him, 'Are you not warning us about the one-eyed Dajjal and the liar who claims false prophecies? Who is the third?' He replied, 'It is a man who will emerge among a people, with the first and the last cursed and his curse will last in the tribulation of the last days. He is the false messenger. Doesn't he eat the slaves of Allah?' Muhammad ﷺ added, 'And he is the farthest among the people in lineage from al-Shaybaz ibn Shart ibn Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ishaq, when narrating a hadith, it is not appropriate to say that it was narrated from so-and-so and so-and-so, while I haven't verified their reliability.'" Ibn Khuzaymah narrated this hadith according to the conditions of Sahih, and he is the example in this field. This hadith is weak, mentioned once.

May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he bestowed (these camels) upon the people of Quraish, and he ignored us, whereas our swords are still dripping blood. Anas b. Malik said: Their statement was conveyed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he sent (someone) to the Ansar and gathered them under a tent of leather. When they had assembled, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said: What is this news that has reached me from you? The wise people of the Ansar said: Messenger of Allah, so far as the sagacious amongst us are concerned they have said nothing, but we have amongst us persons of immature age; they said: May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he gave to the Quraish and ignored us (despite the fact) that our swords are besmeared with their blood. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I give (at times material gifts) to persons who were quite recently in the state of unbelief, so that I may incline them to truth Don't you feel delighted that people should go with riches, and you should go back to your places with the Messenger of Allah? By Allah, that with which you would return is better than that with which they would return. They said: Yes, Messenger of Allah, we are pleased. The Prophet said too: You would find marked preference (in conferring of the material gifts) in future, so you should show patience till you meet Allah and His Messenger and I would he at the Haud Kauthar. They said: We would show patience. (Using translation from Muslim 1059a)

أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ حِينَ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ مَا أَفَاءَ فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي رِجَالًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْمِئَةَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِهِ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَحَدَّثْتُ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ قَوْلِهِمْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ؟ » فَقَالَ لَهُ قَوْمٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَمَّا ذَوُو أَسْنَانِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا نَاسٌ مِنَّا حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِهِ يُعْطِي أُنَاسًا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالًا حَدِيثِي عَهْدٍ بِالْكُفْرِ أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ أَفَلَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالْأَمْوَالِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ؟ فَوَاللَّهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ» فَقَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا قَالَ «فَإِنَّكُمْ سَتَجِدُونَ أَثَرَةً شَدِيدَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلَقَوَا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ» قَالُوا سَنَصْبِرُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the Isha prayer, then he turned away, took me by the hand, and went out to the Batha, the Batha of Mecca. Then he drew a line around him—that is, around Abdullah ibn Masud—and then said: "Do not leave your line, and if anyone reaches you, do not speak to him." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went on to wherever he wished. While I was sitting within my line, men came to me as though they were the Zutt in their hair and bodies. They would not cross the line, then they would go on toward the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When it was near the end of the night, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came while I was sitting, and he said: "These have troubled me tonight." Then he came in to me within my line, used my thigh as a pillow, and slept. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ slept, he would breathe audibly in sleep.

While I was sitting and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was resting his head on my thigh, suddenly I saw men who looked like men of the Hijaz. They wore white garments, and Allah knows best the beauty they possessed. A group of them sat by the head of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and a group by his feet. Then they said among themselves, "We have never seen anyone given what this Prophet has been given. His eyes are asleep, but his heart is awake. So strike a parable for him." I think he said: "Of a man who built a palace, then prepared a banquet and invited people to his food. Whoever answered him ate from his food and drank from his drink, and whoever did not answer him, he punished him—or he was punished." Then they rose up.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ awoke and said to me: "Did you hear what these said? And do you know who they are?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "They are the angels." He said: "Do you know the parable that they struck?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "The parable they struck is this: the Lord ﷻ built Paradise and called His servants to it. Whoever answered Him entered Paradise, and whoever did not answer Him, He punished him—or chastised him."

We do not know this hadith to be narrated from Abdullah except through this route. Al-Taymi narrated it and differed with Jafar ibn Maymun in its chain of transmission, saying: from Amr al-Bikali, from Abu Uthman.

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ، فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي، وَخَرَجَ إِلَى الْبَطْحَاءِ بَطْحَاءَ مَكَّةَ، ثُمَّ خَطَّ عَلَيْهِ خَطًّا، يَعْنِي عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «لَا تَبْرَحَنَّ خَطَّكَ، فَإِنِ انْتَهَى إِلَيْكَ أَحَدٌ فَلَا تُكَلِّمْهُ». ثُمَّ مَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَيْثُ أَرَادَ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ فِي خُطًى، إِذْ أَتَانِي رِجَالٌ كَأَنَّهُمُ الزُّطُّ، أَشْعَارُهُمْ وَأَجْسَادُهُمْ، لَا يُجَاوِزُونَ الْخَطَّ، ثُمَّ يَصِيرُونَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ، جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا جَالِسٌ، فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ آذَانِي هَؤُلَاءِ اللَّيْلَةَ». ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ فِي خَطِّي، فَتَوَسَّدَ فَخِذِي فَرَقَدَ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَقَدَ نَفَخَ النَّوْمَ نَفْخًا.

فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا قَاعِدٌ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُتَوَسِّدٌ فَخِذِي، إِذَا أَنَا بِرِجَالٍ كَأَنَّهُمْ رِجَالُ الْحِجَازِ، عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَابٌ بِيضٌ، اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ مَا بِهِمْ مِنَ الْجَمَالِ، فَجَلَسَ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَطَائِفَةٌ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالُوا بَيْنَهُمْ: مَا رَأَيْنَا أَحَدًا قَطُّ أُوتِيَ مَا أُوتِيَ هَذَا النَّبِيُّ، إِنَّ عَيْنَيْهَ نَائِمَةٌ وَقَلْبَهُ يَقْظَانُ، فَاضْرِبُوا لَهُ مَثَلًا، أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: بِرَجُلٍ بَنَى قَصْرًا، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مَأْدُبَةً، وَدَعَا النَّاسَ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ، فَمَنْ أَجَابَهُ أَكَلَ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ، وَشَرِبَ مِنْ شَرَابِهِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبْهُ عَاقَبَهُ أَوْ عُوقِبَ. ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعُوا.

فَاسْتَيْقَظَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ لِي: «سَمِعْتَ مَا قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ وَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَنْ هُمْ؟» قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: «هُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ». قَالَ: «فَتَدْرِي مَا الْمَثَلُ الَّذِي ضَرَبُوهُ؟» قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: «مَثَلُ الَّذِي ضَرَبُوا: الرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى بَنَى الْجَنَّةَ، وَدَعَا إِلَيْهَا عِبَادَهُ، فَمَنْ أَجَابَهُ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبْهُ عَاقَبَهُ أَوْ عَذَّبَهُ».

وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَا نَعْلَمُهُ يُرْوَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ، وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ التَّيْمِيُّ فَخَالَفَ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مَيْمُونٍ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ، وَقَالَ: عَنْ عَمْرٍو الْبِكَالِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ.

أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ قَالُوا حِينَ أَفَاءُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ أَمْوَالَ هَوَازِنَ فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يعطي رجالاً من قريش الْمِئَةَ مِنَ الإِبِلِ قَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَحُدِّثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَقَالَتِهِمْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ لَمْ يَدْعُ مَعَهُمْ أحد مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ فَقَالَتِ الأَنْصَارُ أَمَّا ذَوُو آرَائِنَا فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا نَاسٌ حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا كَذَا وَكَذَا لِهَذَا الْقَوْلِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيّ ﷺ إِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالا أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ فَوَاللَّهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ قَالُوا أَجَلْ يَا رَسولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَتَجِدُونَ أَوْ سَتَرَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً شَدِيدَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوُا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنِّي فَرَطُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَلَمْ نَصْبِرْ

[AI] That Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf, the Jewish poet, used to insult the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions and incite the polytheists of Quraysh against them in his poetry. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Medina, there were Muslims among them who were united by the call of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and among them were the polytheists who worshiped idols, as well as Jews and members of the Halqah and Hushun tribes who were allies of the Banu Aus and Khazraj. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to reconcile with them and establish good relations with them. There were men who were Muslims while their fathers were polytheists, and men who were Muslims while their brothers were polytheists. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Medina, the polytheists and Jews of the city would haraass the Prophet ﷺ and his companions the most. Allah commanded His Prophet ﷺ and the Muslims to bear patience and forgive them. In them, Allah the Most High revealed: "[There are] indeed many among them who harass the Prophet and say, 'He is a one who listens [to every word].' [But] the people of faith who were given the Scripture(s) before your time did the same; and the polytheists as well. If you were to yield to their desires, after the knowledge that has come to you, you would be a transgressor. And there are among the People of the Book those who would indeed wish to bring you back to infidelity after faith. [But] out of their selfish envy, even after the truth has become clear to them. So, forgive and overlook until Allah brings about His command. Indeed, Allah has power over all things." When Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf refused to stop his harm towards the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Muslims, the Prophet ﷺ ordered Sa'd bin Mu'adh, Muhammad bin Maslamah Al-Ansari, and Harith bin Aws bin Thabit Al-Ansari, as well as Abu 'Isa bin Habrah Al-Ansari and Harith bin Sa'd bin Mu'adh, to assassinate him. They went to him one evening in his assembly at Al-Awali and when Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf saw them, he sensed their intentions and asked them, "What brought you here?" They replied, "We came to discuss a matter with you." He said, "Then let one of you come closer to me and inform me about it." So, one of them approached him and said, "We came to negotiate selling you some armor, the proceeds of which we will use for charity." He said, "By Allah, if you do that, you would have exhausted yourselves. Since this man came to you, he has been challenging you to come to him for dinner when people have gone and it is a good opportunity. So, they went to him and one of them called out to him. When he stood up to go to them, his wife asked him, 'What are they asking of you at this time of the night? Is there something you desire from them?' He said, 'Yes, indeed they have told me something interesting.' Then, he went out to them. Muhammad bin Maslamah embraced him and said, 'Let none of you precede the others in slaying him. We will all kill him together, for if we allow him to speak a word, he will bewitch us.'" Then they stabbed him with their swords in his abdomen and killed him. When the Jews and the polytheists who were with them found out about it, they were alarmed and the next morning they went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'Our leader was killed last night and he was a nobleman among us.' So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited to them some of his poetry in which he insulted and harmed them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then called them to write a document between him and them and the Muslims in general, which would include the agreement of the people. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote it.

أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ الْأَشْرَفِ الْيَهُودِيَّ كَانَ شَاعِرًا وَكَانَ يَهْجُو رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابَهُ وَيُحَرِّضُ عَلَيْهِمْ كُفَّارَ قُرَيْشٍ فِي شَعْرِهِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَهِيَ أَخْلَاطٌ مِنْهُمُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ الَّذِينَ يَجْمَعُهُمْ دَعْوَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَفِيهِمُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ الَّذِينَ يَعْبُدُونَ الْأَوْثَانَ وَمِنْهُمُ الْيَهُودُ وَمِنْهُمْ أَهْلُ الْحَلْقَةِ وَالْحُصُونِ وَهُمْ حُلَفَاءُ الْحَيَّيْنِ الْأَوْسِ وَالْخَزْرَجِ فَأَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ قَدِمَ اسْتِصْلَاحَهُمْ وَمُوَادَعَتَهُمْ وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ مُسْلِمًا وَأَبُوهُ مُشْرِكًا وَالرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ مُسْلِمًا وَأَخُوهُ مُشْرِكًا وَكَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ وَالْيَهُودُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ حِينَ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُؤْذُونَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابَهُ أَشَدَّ الْأَذَى وَأَمَرَ اللهُ نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ بِالصَّبِرِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَالْعَفْوِ عَنْهُمْ فَفِيهِمْ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {وَلَتَسْمَعُنَّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلَكُمْ وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا أَذًى كَثِيرًا} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {مِنْ عَزَمِ الْأُمُورِ} وَفِيهِمْ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {وَدَّ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ لَوْ يَرُدُّونَكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ إِيمَانِكُمْ كُفَّارًا} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ اللهُ بِأَمْرِهِ} فَلَمَّا أَبَى كَعْبُ بْنُ الْأَشْرَفِ أَنْ يَنْزِعَ عَنْ أَذَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَذَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَعْدَ بْنَ مُعَاذٍ وَمُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ ثُمَّ الْحَارِثِيَّ وَأَبَا عِيسَى بْنَ حَبْرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ وَالْحَارِثَ ابْنَ أَخِي سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي خَمْسَةِ رَهْطٍ فَأَتَوْهُ عَشِيَّةً فِي مَجْلِسِهِ بِالْعَوَالِي فَلَمَّا رَآهُمْ كَعْبُ بْنُ الْأَشْرَفِ أَنْكَرَ شَأْنَهُمْ وَكَانَ يَذْعَرُ مِنْهُمْ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ مَا جَاءَ بِكُمْ؟ قَالُوا جَاءَ بِنَا حَاجَةٌ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ فَلْيَدْنُ إِلَيَّ بَعْضُكُمْ لِيُحَدِّثَنِي بِهَا فَدَنَا إِلَيْهِ بَعْضُهُمْ فَقَالَ قَدْ جِئْنَاكَ لِنَبِيعَكَ أَدْرَاعًا لَنَا لِنَسْتَنْفِقَ أَثْمَانَهَا فَقَالَ وَاللهِ لَئِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ لَقَدْ جُهِدْتُمْ مُنْذُ نَزَلَ بِكُمْ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ فَوَاعَدَهُمْ أَنْ يَأْتُوهُ عِشَاءً حِينَ يَهْدِي عَنْهُ النَّاسَ فَجَاؤُوهُ فَنَادَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَقَامَ لِيَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ مَا طَرَقُوكَ سَاعَتَهُمْ هَذِهِ بِشَيْءٍ مِمَّا تُحِبُّ قَالَ بَلَى إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ حَدَّثُونِي حَدِيثَهُمْ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَاعْتَنَقَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ وَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ لَا يَسْبِقْكُمْ وَإِنْ قَتَلْتُمُونِي وَإِيَّاهُ جَمِيعًا فَطَعَنَهُ بَعْضُهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ فِي خَاصِرَتِهِ فَلَمَّا قَتَلُوهُ فَزِعْتِ الْيَهُودُ وَمَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُمْ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَغَدَوْا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ أَصْبَحُوا فَقَالُوا قَدْ طُرِقَ صَاحِبُنَا اللَّيْلَةَ وَهُوَ سَيِّدٌ مِنْ سَادَاتِنَا فَقُتِلَ غِيلَةً فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الَّذِي كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي أَشْعَارِهِ وَيُؤْذِيهِمْ بِهِ فَدَعَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَامَّةً صَحِيفَةً فِيهَا جَامِعُ أَمَرِ النَّاسِ فَكَتَبَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ

[AI] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Medina, after his departure from Taif, Bujair ibn Zuhair ibn Abi Sulma wrote to his brother Ka'ab ibn Zuhair ibn Abi Sulma, informing him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had killed a man in Makkah who used to insult and harm him. He also mentioned that the remaining poets of Quraysh, such as Ibn Al-Ziba'ra and Hubayrah ibn Abi Wahb, had fled in all directions. If there is something you need for yourself, then flee to the Messenger ﷺ as he does not kill anyone who comes to him repenting. And if you do not do so, then escape to your own safety. Ka'ab recited poems in which he praised the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned his fear and the trembling of his knees due to the news. Then he left until he reached Medina and stayed with a man who had a connection with him from Juheinah, as he had told me. The next morning, he accompanied him to the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ prayer. He prayed with the people, then his companion pointed him towards the Prophet ﷺ and said, "This is the Messenger of Allah, so go to him and seek his protection." He told me that he approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and placed his hand in his hand, but the Messenger of Allah did not recognize him. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, Ka'ab ibn Zuhair has come seeking your protection, having repented and embraced Islam. Will you accept him if I bring him to you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Yes." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am Ka'ab ibn Zuhair." Ibn Ishaq said, Asim ibn Omar ibn Qatadah narrated to me that a man from the Ansar jumped towards him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, let me and Allah's enemy strike his neck." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Leave him, for he has come repenting and seeking pardon." The Ansar were angry with this man for what he had done to their companion.

لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ مُنْصَرَفِهِ مِنَ الطَّائِفِ كَتَبَ بُجَيْرُ بْنُ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلْمَى إِلَى أَخِيهِ كَعْبِ بْنِ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلْمَى يُخْبِرُهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَتَلَ رَجُلًا بِمَكَّةَ مِمَّنْ كَانَ يَهْجُوهُ وَيُؤْذِيهِ وَأَنَّهُ مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنْ شُعَرَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ ابْنُ الزِّبَعْرَى وَهُبَيْرَةُ بْنُ أَبِي وَهْبٍ قَدْ هَرَبُوا فِي كُلِّ وَجْهٍ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ حَاجَةٌ فَفِرَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ ﷺ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَقْتُلُ أَحَدًا جَاءَ تَائِبًا وَإِنْ أَنْتَ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَانْجُ إِلَى نَجَائِكَ وَقَدْ كَانَ كَعْبٌ قَالَ أَبْيَاتًا نَالَ فِيهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ كَعْبًا الْكِتَابُ ضَاقَتْ بِهِ الْأَرْضُ وَأَشْفَقَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَأَرْجَفَ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَ فِي حَاضَرِهِ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِ قَالُوا هُوَ مَقْتُولٌ فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَجِدْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ بَدَا قَالَ قَصِيدَتَهُ الَّتِي مَدَحَ فِيهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَذَكَرَ خَوْفَهُ وَإِرْجَافَ الْوُشَاةِ بِهِ مِنْ غَدِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَنَزَلَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنِهِ مَعْرِفَةٌ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ كَمَا ذَكَرَ لِي فَغَدَا بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ فَصَلَّى مَعَ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ أَشَارَ لَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ فَقُمْ إِلَيْهِ فَاسْتَأْمِنْهُ فَذَكَرَ لِي أَنَّهُ قَامَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى وَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي يَدِهِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ لَا يَعْرِفُهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ زُهَيْرٍ جَاءَ يَسْتَأْمِنُ مِنْكَ تَائِبًا مُسْلِمًا فَهَلْ أَنْتَ قَابِلٌ مِنْهُ إِنْ أَنَا جِئْتُكَ بِهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا كَعْبُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ وَثَبَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دَعْنِي وَعَدُوَّ اللهِ أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «دَعْهُ عَنْكَ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَ تَائِبًا نَازِعًا» فَغَضِبَ عَلَى هَذَا الْحَيِّ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِمَا صَنَعَ بِهِ صَاحِبِهِمْ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ

[AI] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Madinah after his departure from Ta'if, Bujayr bin Zuhair bin Abi Salamah wrote to his brother Ka'b bin Zuhair bin Abi Salamah, informing him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had killed a man in Makkah who used to insult and harm him. He mentioned that the remaining poets of the Quraysh, Ibn Ziba'rah and Hubayrah bin Abi Wahb, had fled in all directions. He advised Ka'b to seek the protection of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , as he does not kill anyone who comes to him repenting. If he did not want to do that, he should go to his own people for help. When Ka'b received the letter, he felt overwhelmed and frightened for his life. Those who were present with him trembled, assuming that he had been killed. When he could not find anything to say, he recited the poem he had composed praising the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and describing his fear and the trembling of his limbs. Then he left until he reached Madinah and stayed with a man named Ma'rifah, with whom he had some connection in Juhaynah. In the morning, he went with him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and prayed with the people. Then Ma'rifah pointed him out to the Prophet, saying, "This is the Messenger of Allah." He asked Ka'b to come forward and gave him his hand. Since the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not know who he was, Ka'b said, "O Messenger of Allah, Ka'b bin Zuhair has come, seeking your protection, remorseful and a Muslim. Would you be willing to receive him if I bring him to you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Yes." Ka'b then said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am Ka'b bin Zuhair." Ibn Ishaq said that 'Asim bin 'Umar bin Qatadah reported that a man from the Ansar alighted and said, "O Messenger of Allah, let me take his life for you as the enemy of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Leave him, as he has come repentant and seeking forgiveness." The Ansar became angry at him for what he had done to their companion. That happened because they did not know that Ka'b had come repentant, seeking forgiveness.

لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ مُنْصَرَفِهِ مِنَ الطَّائِفِ كَتَبَ بُجَيْرُ بْنُ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلْمَى إِلَى أَخِيهِ كَعْبِ بْنِ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلْمَى يُخْبِرُهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَتَلَ رَجُلًا بِمَكَّةَ مِمَّنْ كَانَ يَهْجُوهُ وَيُؤْذِيهِ وَأَنَّهُ مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنْ شُعَرَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ ابْنُ الزِّبَعْرَى وَهُبَيْرَةُ بْنُ أَبِي وَهْبٍ قَدْ هَرَبُوا فِي كُلِّ وَجْهٍ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ حَاجَةٌ فَفِرَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ ﷺ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَقْتُلُ أَحَدًا جَاءَ تَائِبًا وَإِنْ أَنْتَ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَانْجُ إِلَى نَجَائِكَ وَقَدْ كَانَ كَعْبٌ قَالَ أَبْيَاتًا نَالَ فِيهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ كَعْبًا الْكِتَابُ ضَاقَتْ بِهِ الْأَرْضُ وَأَشْفَقَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَأَرْجَفَ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَ فِي حَاضَرِهِ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِ قَالُوا هُوَ مَقْتُولٌ فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَجِدْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ بَدَا قَالَ قَصِيدَتَهُ الَّتِي مَدَحَ فِيهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَذَكَرَ خَوْفَهُ وَإِرْجَافَ الْوُشَاةِ بِهِ مِنْ غَدِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَنَزَلَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنِهِ مَعْرِفَةٌ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ كَمَا ذَكَرَ لِي فَغَدَا بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ فَصَلَّى مَعَ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ أَشَارَ لَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ فَقُمْ إِلَيْهِ فَاسْتَأْمِنْهُ فَذَكَرَ لِي أَنَّهُ قَامَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى وَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي يَدِهِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ لَا يَعْرِفُهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ زُهَيْرٍ جَاءَ يَسْتَأْمِنُ مِنْكَ تَائِبًا مُسْلِمًا فَهَلْ أَنْتَ قَابِلٌ مِنْهُ إِنْ أَنَا جِئْتُكَ بِهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا كَعْبُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ وَثَبَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دَعْنِي وَعَدُوَّ اللهِ أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «دَعْهُ عَنْكَ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَ تَائِبًا نَازِعًا» فَغَضِبَ عَلَى هَذَا الْحَيِّ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِمَا صَنَعَ بِهِ صَاحِبِهِمْ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ

[AI] She returned to her residence and asked her what caused her to move before her waiting period ended? So, she sent a message to inform him that her aunt, Fatimah bint Qais, advised her that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave her permission to leave or move when Abu Amr ibn Hafs al-Makhzumi divorced her. So Marwan sent Qabisah bin Dhuwai'b to ask Fatimah bint Qais about that. She informed him that she was under the authority of Abu Amr ibn Hafs al-Makhzumi. She said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered Ali to go to a part of Yemen, and his wife went with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent her a divorce certificate that would remain for her. He ordered Ayash bin Abi Rabiah and Harith bin Hisham to provide for her. They said by Allah, she has no provision unless she is pregnant. She sought his permission to move, and he gave her permission. She asked, "Where are you going, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "To the house of Ibn Umm Maktum," who was blind. She left her clothes with him, but he couldn't see her. She remained there until her waiting period ended, and the Prophet ﷺ married her to Usamah bin Zaid. Qabisah then returned to Marwan and informed him of this. Marwan said, "I have only heard this hadith from a woman, so we will follow the consensus that we find people upon." She said, "When I reached that point with you, it was between me and you what Allah said in his book, Allah says, 'Divorce them for their prescribed waiting period.' until his saying, 'You do not know, perhaps Allah will bring about, after that, a different matter.' And what is the different matter that comes after the third period?" She said, "It is only the re-evaluation of a woman by her husband." So how can you say that she has no provision if she is not pregnant? So, how can a woman be restricted without provision?

It was narrated from 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Utbah that during the reign of Marwan, 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin 'Uthman, who was a young man, issued a final divorce to the daughter of Sa'eed bin Zaid, whose mother was Bint Qais. Her maternal aunt, Fatimah bint Qais, sent word to her telling her to move from the house of 'Abdullah bin 'Amr. Marwan heard of that and he sent word to the daughter of Sa'eed, telling her to go back to her home, and asking her why she had moved from her home before her 'Iddah was over? She sent word to him telling him that her maternal aunt had told her to do that. Fatimah bint Qais said that she had been married to Abu 'Amr bin Hafs, and when the Messenger of Allah appointed 'Ali bin Abi Talib as governor of Yemen, he went out with him and sent word to her that she was divorced with the third Talaq. He told Al-Harith bin Hisham and 'Ayyash bin Abi Rai'ah to spend on her. She sent word to Al-Harith and 'Ayyash asking them what her husband had told them to spend on her, and they said: 'By Allah, she has no right to any maintenance from us, unless she is pregnant, and she cannot come into our home without our permission.' She said that she came to the Messenger of Allah and told him about that, and he stated that they were correct. Fatimah said: 'Where should I move to, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Move to the home of Ibn Umm Maktum, the blind man whom Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, named in His Book.' Fatimah said: 'So I observed my 'Iddah there. He was a man who has lost his sight, so I used to take off my garments in his house, until the Messenger of Allah married me to Usamah bin Zaid.' Marwan criticized her for that and said: 'I have never heard this Hadith from anyone before you. I will continue to follow the ruling that the people have been following.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3222)

أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ أَبِي عَمْرِو بْنِ حَفْصٍ فَلَمَّا أَمَّرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَى الْيَمَنِ خَرَجَ مَعَهُ وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا بِتَطْلِيقَةٍ هِيَ بَقِيَّةُ طَلَاقِهَا وَأَمَرَ لَهَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ بِنَفَقَتِهَا فَأَرْسَلَتْ زَعَمَتْ إِلَى الْحَارِثِ وَعَيَّاشٍ تَسْأَلُهُمَا الَّذِي أَمَرَ لَهَا بِهِ زَوْجُهَا فَقَالَا وَاللهِ مَا لَهَا عَلَيْنَا نَفَقَةٌ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ حَامِلًا وَمَا لَهَا أَنْ تَكُونَ فِي مَسْكَنِنَا إِلَّا بِإِذْنِنَا فَزَعَمَتْ أَنَّهَا أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَصَدَّقَهُمَا قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ فَأَيْنَ أَنْتَقِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «انْتَقِلِي عِنْدَ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ الْأَعْمَى الَّذِي سَمَّى اللهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ» قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ فَاعْتَدَدْتُ عِنْدَهُ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا قَدْ ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهُ فَكُنْتُ أَضَعُ ثِيَابِي عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى أَنْكَحَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهَا مَرْوَانُ وَقَالَ لَمْ أَسْمَعْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ قَبْلَكِ وَسَآخُذُ بِالْعِصْمَةِ الَّتِي وَجَدْنَا النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا

When Allah favored His Apostle with the properties of Hawazin tribe as Fai (booty), he started giving to some Quarries men even up to one-hundred camels each, whereupon some Ansari men said about Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "May Allah forgive His Apostle! He is giving to (men of) Quraish and leaves us, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dropping blood (of the infidels)" When Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed of what they had said, he called the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent and did not call anybody else along, with them. When they gathered, Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said, "What is the statement which, I have been informed, and that which you have said?" The learned ones among them replied," O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! The wise ones amongst us did not say anything, but the youngsters amongst us said, 'May Allah forgive His Apostle; he gives the Quarish and leaves the Ansar, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dribbling (wet) with the blood of the infidels.' " Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, I give to such people as are still close to the period of Infidelity (i.e. they have recently embraced Islam and Faith is still weak in their hearts). Won't you be pleased to see people go with fortune, while you return with Messenger of Allah ﷺ to your houses? By Allah, what you will return with, is better than what they are returning with." The Ansar replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we are satisfied' Then the Prophet ﷺ said to them." You will find after me, others being preferred to you. Then be patient till you meet Allah and meet His Apostle at Al-Kauthar (i.e. a fount in Paradise)." (Anas added:) But we did not remain patient. (Using translation from Bukhārī 3147)

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمَّا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مَا أَفَاءَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ طَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي رِجَالًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ «فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ وَلَمْ يَدَعْ مَعَهُمْ أَحَدًا فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا» قَالَ «مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ؟» قَالَ فُقَهَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ أَمَّا ذَوُو الرَّأْيِ مِنَّا فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَإِنَّمَا أُنَاسٌ حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا «يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَأُعْطِي رِجَالًا حَدِيثٌ عَهْدُهُمْ بِالْكُفْرِ فَأَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ أَفَلَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالْأَمْوَالِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَوَاللهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ» قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ «إِنَّكُمْ سَتَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً شَدِيدَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوُا اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ» قَالَ أَنَسٌ «فَلَمْ نَصْبِرْ»

[AI] He said, when Allah fulfilled His promise to His Messenger with regards to the spoils of war, they say, on the day of Hunayn, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was giving a hundred camels to some men of the Quraysh. Then a man from the Ansar said, "May Allah forgive the Messenger of Allah. He gives men from the Quraysh and leaves us while our swords are still dripping with their blood?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, I give men who have newly embraced Islam in order to reconcile their hearts. Do you not wish that people take the wealth and you take the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with you? By Allah, when you go back, it will be better than what they have." They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, we are pleased with that."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمَّا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مَا أَفَاءَ مِنْ أَمْوَالٍ يَقُولُونَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ طَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي رِجَالًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ يُعْطِي رِجَالًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَأُعْطِي رِجَالًا حَدِيثٌ عَهْدُهُمْ بِالْكُفْرِ فَأَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ أَوَلَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالْأَمْوَالِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَاللهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ خَيْرٌ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ» قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا مُخْتَصَرٌ

[AI] Saad, the son of Abi Waqqas, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Who am I, O Messenger of Allah?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Saad bin Malik bin Wuhayb bin Abd Manaf bin Zuhrah. Whoever says otherwise, may the curse of Allah be upon him. As for Taim, he was a brother to the dogs. And as for Makhzoom, he was not their brother, but his actual name was Makhzoom bin Yaqdha bin Murrah. However, the tribe became famous with the name Makhzoom, so they were attributed to him. Bani Taim were considered superior to Bani Makhzoom, as they were from the tribe of excellence and nobility.” It is also said that he mentioned the predecessor, referring to Abu Bakr As-Siddiq. For he is Abu Bakr Abdullah bin Uthman bin Amer bin Amr bin Ka'b bin Saad bin Taim bin Murrah bin Ka'b bin Lu'ayy bin Ghalib bin Fihr. Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz narrated to us, Abu Al-Abbas Muhammad bin Ya'qub narrated to us, Abdullah bin Abi Usamah Al-Halabi narrated to us, HAJJAJ bin Abi Maneh narrated from his grandfather from Az-Zuhri, and he mentioned this lineage. Abu Al-Husayn bin Al-Fadl informed us that Abdullah bin Ja'far narrated to us, Ya'qub bin Sufyan narrated to us, and HAJJAJ bin Abi Maneh narrated from his grandfather from Az-Zuhri, and he mentioned it, except that he said "Atiq" instead of Abdullah. Then he said, "Atiq is a title, and his name is Abdullah." The Sheikh said, "And he was the first among the free men to embrace Islam."

جَاءَ سَعْدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ وُهَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافِ بْنِ زُهْرَةَ مَنْ قَالَ غَيْرَ هَذَا فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ وَأَمَّا تَيْمٌ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ أَخًا لِكِلَابٍ وَأَمَّا مَخْزُومٌ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَخًا لَهُمْ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مَخْزُومُ بْنُ يَقَظَةَ بْنِ مُرَّةَ إِلَّا أَنَّ الْقَبِيلَةَ اشْتُهِرَتْ بِمَخْزُومٍ فَنُسِبَتْ إِلَيْهِ وَإِنَّمَا قَدَّمَ بَنِي تَيْمٍ عَلَى بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ؛ لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مِنْ حِلْفِ الْفُضُولِ وَالْمُطَيَّبِينَ 13091 وَقِيلَ ذَكَرَ سَابِقَةً يُرِيدُ سَابِقَةَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ؓ؛ فَإِنَّهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ تَيْمِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ لُؤِيِّ بْنِ غَالِبِ بْنِ فِهْرٍ 13092 حَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ الْحَلَبِيُّ ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي مَنِيعٍ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ فَذَكَرَ هَذَا النَّسَبَ 13093 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ أنبأ الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي مَنِيعٍ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ فَذَكَرَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ عَتِيقٌ بَدَلَ عَبْدِ اللهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَعَتِيقٌ لَقَبٌ وَاسْمُهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَهُوَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ الْأَحْرَارِ

[AI] He sent him on an army made up of people wearing chains. He said, "I came to him and asked, 'Who is the most beloved to you among the people?' He said, 'Aisha.' I asked, 'Among the men?' He said, 'Her father.' I asked, 'Then who?' He said, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab.' He counted the men again."

بَعَثَهُ عَلَى جَيْشِ ذَاتِ السَّلَاسِلِ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ أِيُّ النَّاسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ؟ فَقَالَ عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ؟ قَالَ أَبُوهَا فَقُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ فَعَدَّ رِجَالًا

[AI] He informed them that they went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the Farewell Pilgrimage until they reached Usfan. A man from the Banu Mudlij, called Suraqah ibn Malik or Malik ibn Suraqah, stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, fulfill your promise as if we were born today." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah has made performing 'Umrah during this Hajj obligatory upon you. So when you have arrived, whoever performs Tawaf around the Ka'bah and between Safa and Marwah (the hills) may remove the ihram, except those who have a sacrificial animal." When we were released, we enjoyed ourselves with these women, and marriage was something we could do. So we presented that to the women, and they agreed except that they wanted a waiting period between us and them. We mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ , and he said, 'Do it.' So I went out, along with a cousin of mine, each of us having a cloak. His cloak was better than mine, although I was stronger and had more hair. We approached a woman, and she liked his cloak and was attracted to my youthfulness. She said, 'A cloak like this is equal to a man.' The waiting period between us was ten days. I stayed with her for a night and then left. When I left, behold, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing between the Rukn and the Station, saying, 'O people, I had given you permission concerning enjoyment with these women. Indeed, I have forbidden it until the Day of Judgment. So whoever has anything belonging to them, let them return it, and do not take anything back from what you have given them'" (14156). Abu Zakariyya ibn Abi Ishaq narrated to us from Abu Abdullah ibn Ya'qub, who narrated to us from Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, who narrated to us from Ja'far ibn Awn, who narrated to us from Abdul Aziz ibn Umar, who narrated to us from Ar-Rabi ibn Sabrah, who narrated to him from his father, who narrated to him that they traveled with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until they reached Usfan. A man from the Banu Mudlij spoke to him, and he mentioned the hadith in a similar manner, and likewise.

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُمْ خَرَجُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ حَتَّى نَزَلُوا بِعُسْفَانَ فَقَامَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي مُدْلِجٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ أَوْ مَالِكُ بْنُ سُرَاقَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اقْضِ قَضَاءً كَأَنَّمَا وُلِدُوا الْيَوْمَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ أَدْخَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي حَجَّتِكُمْ هَذِهِ عَمْرَةً فَإِذَا أَنْتُمْ قَدِمْتُمْ فَمَنْ تَطَوَّفَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ يَحِلُّ إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْهَدْيِ فَلَمَّا أَحْلَلْنَا قَدِ اسْتَمْتَعُوا مِنْ هَذِهِ النِّسَاءِ وَالِاسْتِمْتَاعُ عِنْدَنَا التَّزْوِيجُ فَعَرَضْنَا ذَلِكَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ فَأَبَيْنَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَضْرِبْنَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُنَّ أَجَلًا فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ افْعَلُوا فَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَابْنُ عَمٍّ لِي مَعِي بُرْدٌ وَمَعَهُ بُرْدٌ وَبُرْدُهُ أَجْوَدُ مِنْ بُرْدِي وَأَنَا أَشَبُّ مِنْهُ فَأَتَيْنَا امْرَأَةً فَأَعْجَبَهَا بُرْدُهُ وَأَعْجَبَهَا شَبَابِي قَالَتْ بُرْدٌ كَبُرْدٍ فَكَانَ الْأَجَلُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهَا عَشْرًا فَبِتُّ عِنْدَهَا لَيْلَةً فَأَصْبَحْتُ فَخَرَجْتُ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَائِمٌ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْمَقَامِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كُنْتُ أَذِنْتُ لَكُمْ فِي الِاسْتِمْتَاعِ مِنْ هَذِهِ النِّسَاءِ أَلَا وَإِنِّي قَدْ حَرَّمْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَمَنْ بَقِيَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْءٌ فَلْيُخَلِّ سَبِيلَهَا وَلَا تَأْخُذُوا مِمَّا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ شَيْئًا 14156 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ أنبأ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ أنبأ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنِي الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سَبْرَةَ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُمْ سَارُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَلَغُوا عُسْفَانَ فَكَلَّمَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي مُدْلِجٍ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِهِ وَكَذَلِكَ

Allah has made blind the hearts of some people as He has deprived them of eyesight that they give religious verdict in favour of temporary marriage, while he was alluding to a person (Ibn 'Abbas). Ibn Abbas called him and said: You are an uncouth person, devoid of sense. By my life, Mut'a was practised during the lifetime of the leader of the pious (he meant Messenger of Allah, may peace be upon him), and Ibn Zubair said to him: just do it yourselves, and by Allah, if you do that I will stone you with your stones. Ibn Shihab said. Khalid b. Muhajir b. Saifullah informed me: While I was sitting in the company of a person, a person came to him and he asked for a religious verdict about Mut'a and he permitted him to do it. Ibn Abu 'Amrah al-Ansari (Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Be gentle. It was permitted in- the early days of Islam, (for one) who was driven to it under the stress of necessity just as (the eating of) carrion and the blood and flesh of swine and then Allah intensified (the commands of) His religion and prohibited it (altogether). Ibn Shihab reported: Rabi' b. Sabra told me that his father (Sabra) said: I contracted temporary marriage with a woman of Banu 'Amir for two cloaks during the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ ; then he forbade us to do Mut'a. Ibn Shihab said: I heard Rabi' b. Sabra narrating it to Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz and I was sitting there. (Using translation from Muslim 1406k)

إِنَّ نَاسًا أَعْمَى اللهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ كَمَا أَعْمَى أَبْصَارَهُمْ يُفْتُونَ بِالْمُتْعَةِ وَيُعَرِّضُ بِالرَّجُلِ فَنَادَاهُ فَقَالَ إنك جِلْفٌ جَافٍ فَلَعَمْرِي لَقَدْ كَانَتِ الْمُتْعَةُ تُفْعَلُ فِي عَهْدِ إِمَامِ الْمُتَّقِينَ يُرِيدُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ فَجَرِّبْ بِنَفْسِكَ فَوَاللهِ لَئِنْ فَعَلْتَهَا لَأَرْجُمَنَّكَ بِأَحْجَارِكَ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فَأَخْبَرَنِي خَالِدُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ بْنِ سَيْفِ اللهِ أَنَّهُ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَاسْتَفْتَاهُ فِي الْمُتْعَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ مَهْلًا مَا هِيَ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ فُعِلَتْ فِي عَهْدِ إِمَامِ الْمُتَّقِينَ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ رُخْصَةً فِي أَوَّلِ الْإِسْلَامِ لِمَنْ يُضْطَرُّ إِلَيْهَا كَالْمَيْتَةِ وَالدَّمِ وَلَحْمِ الْخِنْزِيرِ ثُمَّ أَحْكَمَ اللهُ الدِّينَ وَنَهَى عَنْهَا قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَأَخْبَرَنِي الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سَبْرَةَ الْجُهَنِيُّ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ قَالَ قَدْ كُنْتُ اسْتَمْتَعْتُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ بِبُرْدَيْنِ أَحْمَرَيْنِ ثُمَّ نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْمُتْعَةِ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَسَمِعْتُ الرَّبِيعَ بْنَ سَبْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُ ذَلِكَ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَأَنَا جَالِسٌ

By Allah, there is no maintenance allowance for you, except in case you are pregnant. She came to Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) and mentioned their opinion to him, whereupon he said: There is no maintenance allowance for you. Then she sought permission to move (to another place), and he (the Holy Prophet) permitted her. She said: Messenger of Allah, where (should I go)? He said: To the house of Ibn Umm Maktum and, as he is blind, she could put off her garmeqts in his presence and he would not see her. And when her 'Idda was over. Allah's Apostle ﷺ married her to Usama b. Zaid. Marwan (the governor of Medina) sent Qabisa b. Dhuwaib in order to ask her about this hadith, and she narrated it to him, whereupon Marwan said: We have not heard this hadith but from a woman. We would adopt a safe (path) where we found the people. Fatima said that when these words of, Marwan were conveyed to her. There is between me and you the word of Allah, the Exalted and Majestic: Do" not turn them out" of their houses. She asserted: This is in regard to the revocable divorce what new (turn can the event take) after three pronouncements (separation between irrevocable). Why do you say there is no maintenance allowance for her if she is not pregnant? Then on what ground do you restrain her? (Using translation from Muslim 1480h)

حَامِلًا فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَتْ لَهُ قَوْلَهُمَا فَقَالَ لَا نَفَقَةَ لَكِ وَاسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ فِي الِانْتِقَالِ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ أَيْنَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ إِلَى ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَكَانَ أَعْمَى تَضَعُ ثِيَابَهَا عِنْدَهُ وَلَا يَرَاهَا فَلَمَّا مَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا أَنْكَحَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا مَرْوَانُ قَبِيصَةَ بْنَ ذُؤَيْبٍ يَسْأَلُهَا عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَحَدَّثَتْهُ بِهِ فَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ لَمْ نَسْمَعْ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ إِلَّا مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ سَنَأْخُذُ بِالْعِصْمَةِ الَّتِي وَجَدْنَا النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ؓ حِينَ بَلَغَهَا قَوْلُ مَرْوَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمُ الْقُرْآنُ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ لَا تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَلَا يَخْرُجْنَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْتِينَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ حَتَّى بَلَغَ {لَا تَدْرِي لَعَلَّ اللهَ يُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَمْرًا} [الطلاق 1] قَالَتْ هَذَا لِمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ مُرَاجَعَةٌ فَأِيُّ أَمْرٍ يَحْدُثُ بَعْدَ الثَّلَاثِ فَكَيْفَ تَقُولُونَ لَا نَفَقَةَ لَهَا إِذَا لَمْ تَكُنْ حَامِلًا فَعَلَامَ تَحْبِسُونَهَا؟

[AI] 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."

[AI] Abdullah bin Sahal was found dead in a valley in Khaybar. His brother, Abdurrahman bin Sahal, brought the news to the Prophet Muhammad, and mentioned the animosity of the Jews towards them. The Prophet then asked if the Jews would be willing to take an oath fifty times to prove their innocence in Abdullah's murder. They replied saying that they could not trust their oaths, as they were polytheists. The Prophet then asked if fifty people among them would be willing to swear that they had killed Abdullah. They responded saying that it was impossible for them to make such a claim without evidence. The Prophet Muhammad swore that he would make everything right from his side.

وُجِدَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ قَتِيلًا فِي قَلِيبٍ مِنْ قُلُبِ خَيْبَرَ فَجَاءَ أَخُوهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَعَمَّاهُ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَتَكَلَّمُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْكُبْرَ الْكُبْرَ فَتَكَلَّمَ أَحَدُ عَمَّيْهِ الْكَبِيرُ مِنْهُمَا إِمَّا حُوَيِّصَةُ وَإِمَّا مُحَيِّصَةُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا عَبْدَ اللهِ قَتِيلًا فِي قَلِيبٍ مِنْ قُلُبِ خَيْبَرَ فَذَكَرَ يَهُودَ وَعَدَاوَتِهُمْ وَشَرَّهُمْ قَالَ أَفَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا يَحْلِفُونَ أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَقْتُلُوهُ؟ قَالُوا وَكَيْفَ نَرْضَى بِأَيْمَانِهِمْ وَهُمْ مُشْرِكُونَ؟ قَالَ فَيُقْسِمُ مِنْكُمْ خَمْسُونَ أَنَّهُمْ قَتَلُوهُ؟ قَالُوا وَكَيْفَ نُقْسِمُ عَلَى مَا لَمْ نَرَهُ؟ قَالَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ

[AI] They said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr and Umar and the caliphs used to enforce it." He said, "What do you say, Abu Qilabah?" He said, "With you are the leaders of the armies and the nobles of the Arabs." A man from the people of Homs testified against a man from the people of Damascus that he had stolen and they did not witness him, would you cut him?" He said, "No." He said, "Four men from the people of Damascus testified against a man from the people of Homs that he committed adultery and they did not witness him, would you stone him?" He said, "No." He said, "So this is similar. By Allah, we never knew the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to kill anyone except that he would kill a man in return. Anbasa bin Sa'id said, "So where is the Hadith of the Qur'anists?" Abu Qilabah said, "I heard Anas bin Malik narrating from Anas bin Malik that a people from 'Ukl or 'Urainah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and settled in the city. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded them to drink the milk and urine of their camels. So they set out, but when they recovered, they killed the shepherd of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and stole the camels. The news of their actions reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from early in the morning. So he sent men after them and it was not long before they were brought to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that their hands and feet be cut off and that their eyes be branded and they were thrown in the sun. They remained thirsty until they died. These are people who killed, stole, and disbelieved after their belief." Anbasa said, "How perfect is Allah!" Abu Qilabah said, "Are you accusing me, O Anbasa?" He said, "No, but this army will continue to be in good as long as Allah keeps you among them."

قَالُوا أَقَادَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَالْخُلَفَاءُ ؓ قَالَ مَا تَقُولُ يَا أَبَا قِلَابَةَ؟ قَالَ عِنْدَكَ رُءُوسُ الْأَجْنَادِ وَأَشْرَافُ الْعَرَبِ شَهِدَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ حِمْصٍ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ دِمَشْقَ أَنَّهُ سَرَقَ وَلَمْ يَرَوْهُ أَكُنْتَ تَقْطَعُهُ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ شَهِدَ أَرْبَعَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ دِمَشْقَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ حِمْصٍ أَنَّهُ زَنَى وَلَمْ يَرَوْهُ أَكُنْتَ تَرْجُمُهُ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَهَذَا أَشْبَهُ وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَتَلَ أَحَدًا إِلَّا أَنْ يَقْتُلَ رَجُلًا فَيُقْتَلَ بِهِ قَالَ عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ فَأَيْنَ حَدِيثُ الْعُرَنِيِّينَ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ إِيَّايَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ قَوْمًا مِنْ عُكْلٍ أَوْ عُرَيْنَةَ قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَاجْتَوَوَا الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَمَرَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِلِقَاحٍ وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا فَانْطَلَقُوا فَلَمَّا صَحُّوا قَتَلُوا رَاعِيَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَاسْتَاقُوا النَّعَمَ فَبَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَبَرُهُمْ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ فَبَعَثَ فِي آثَارِهِمْ فَمَا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ حَتَّى أُتِيَ بِهِمْ فَأَمَرَ بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُطِعَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُمْ وَسُمِرَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمْ وَأُلْقُوا فِي الْحَرَّةِ يَسْتَسْقُونَ فَلَا يُسْقَوْنَ حَتَّى مَاتُوا فَهَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ قَتَلُوا وَسَرَقُوا وَكَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِيمَانَهِمْ فَقَالَ عَنْبَسَةُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ أَتَتَّهِمُنِي يَا عَنْبَسَةُ؟ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا الْجُنْدَ لَا يَزَالُ بِخَيْرٍ مَا أَبْقَاكَ اللهُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهِمْ

(the wife of the Prophet) Messenger of Allah ﷺ died while Abu Bakr was at a place called As-Sunah (Al-'Aliya) 'Umar stood up and said, "By Allah! Messenger of Allah ﷺ is not dead!" 'Umar (later on) said, "By Allah! Nothing occurred to my mind except that." He said, "Verily! Allah will resurrect him and he will cut the hands and legs of some men." Then Abu Bakr came and uncovered the face of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, kissed him and said, "Let my mother and father be sacrificed for you, (O Messenger of Allah ﷺ), you are good in life and in death. By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, Allah will never make you taste death twice." Then he went out and said, "O oath-taker! Don't be hasty." When Abu Bakr spoke, 'Umar sat down. Abu Bakr praised and glorified Allah and said, No doubt! Whoever worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall never die." Then he recited Allah's Statement.:-- "(O Muhammad) Verily you will die, and they also will die." (39.30) He also recited:-- "Muhammad is no more than an Apostle; and indeed many Apostles have passed away, before him, If he dies Or is killed, will you then Turn back on your heels? And he who turns back On his heels, not the least Harm will he do to Allah And Allah will give reward to those Who are grateful." (3.144) The people wept loudly, and the Ansar were assembled with Sad bin 'Ubada in the shed of Bani Saida. They said (to the emigrants). "There should be one 'Amir from us and one from you." Then Abu Bakr, Umar bin Al-Khattab and Abu 'baida bin Al-Jarrah went to them. 'Umar wanted to speak but Abu Bakr stopped him. 'Umar later on used to say, "By Allah, I intended only to say something that appealed to me and I was afraid that Abu Bakr would not speak so well. Then Abu Bakr spoke and his speech was very eloquent. He said in his statement, "We are the rulers and you (Ansars) are the ministers (i.e. advisers)," Hubab bin Al-Mundhir said, "No, by Allah we won't accept this. But there must be a ruler from us and a ruler from you." Abu Bakr said, "No, we will be the rulers and you will be the ministers, for they (i.e. Quarish) are the best family amongst the 'Arabs and of best origin. So you should elect either 'Umar or Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah as your ruler." 'Umar said (to Abu Bakr), "No but we elect you, for you are our chief and the best amongst us and the most beloved of all of us to Messenger of Allah ﷺ." So 'Umar took Abu Bakr's hand and gave the pledge of allegiance and the people too gave the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr. Someone said, "You have killed Sad bin Ubada." 'Umar said, "Allah has killed him." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3667)

ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَاتَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ بِالسُّنْحِ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ ؓ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ مَا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ وَاللهِ مَا كَانَ يَقَعُ فِي نَفْسِي إِلَّا ذَاكَ وَلَيَبْعَثَنَّهُ اللهُ ﷻ فَيَقْطَعَنَّ أَيْدِيَ رِجَالٍ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ فَكَشَفَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَبَّلَهُ وَقَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي طِبْتَ حَيًّا وَمَيِّتًا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَا يُذِيقُكَ اللهُ ﷻ الْمَوْتَتَيْنِ أَبَدًا ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا الْحَالِفُ عَلَى رِسْلِكَ فَلَمَّا تَكَلَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ جَلَسَ عُمَرُ ؓ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ مُحَمَّدًا فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا قَدْ مَاتَ وَمَن كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اللهَ ﷻ فَإِنَّ اللهَ حَيُّ لَا يَمُوتُ وَقَالَ {إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُمْ مَيِّتُونَ} [الزمر 30] وَقَالَ {وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَفَإِنْ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْ وَمَنْ يَنْقَلِبْ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ} [آل عمران 144] الْآيَةَ كُلَّهَا فَنَشَجَ النَّاسُ يَبْكُونَ وَاجْتَمَعَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ إِلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ ؓ فِي سَقِيفَةِ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ فَقَالُوا مِنَّا أَمِيرٌ وَمِنْكُمْ أَمِيرٌ فَذَهَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ ؓ فَذَهَبَ عُمَرُ يَتَكَلَّمُ فَأَسْكَتَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ فَكَانَ عُمَرُ ؓ يَقُولُ وَاللهِ مَا أَرَدْتُ بِذَاكَ إِلَّا أَنِّي قَدْ هَيَّأْتُ كَلَامًا قَدْ أَعْجَبَنِي خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَبْلُغَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ فَتَكَلَّمَ وَأَبْلَغَ فَقَالَ فِي كَلَامِهِ نَحْنُ الْأُمَرَاءُ وَأَنْتُمُ الْوُزَرَاءُ قَالَ الْحُبَابُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ لَا وَاللهِ لَا نَفْعَلُ أَبَدًا مِنَّا أَمِيرٌ وَمِنْكُمْ أَمِيرٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ لَا وَلَكِنَّا الْأُمَرَاءُ وَأَنْتُمُ الْوُزَرَاءُ هُمْ أَوْسَطُ الْعَرَبِ دَارًا وَأَعْرَبُهُمْ أَحْسَابًا فَبَايِعُوا عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ أَوْ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ ؓ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بَلْ نُبَايِعُكَ أَنْتَ خَيْرُنَا وَسَيِّدُنَا وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَخَذَ عُمَرُ بِيَدِهِ فَبَايَعَهُ وَبَايَعَهُ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ قَتَلْتُمْ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ قَتَلَهُ اللهُ

[AI] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, the Ansar (the residents of Madinah) appointed their speakers, and one man among them said, "O community of Muhajireen (the migrants)! Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to appoint a man from among you and pair him with a man from us (the Ansar) whenever he assigned a task. So we see that there should be two men to oversee this matter, one from among you and the other from among us." The speakers of the Ansar continued to discuss this matter, and then Zaid ibn Thabit stood up and said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ belonged to the Muhajireen, and surely the Imam should be from the Muhajireen, and we are his Ansar, just as we were the Ansar of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then Abu Bakr stood up and said, "May Allah reward you all, O community of the Ansar, and establish the statement of your spokesperson. Then he said, "If you had done otherwise, we would not have benefited you. Then Zaid ibn Thabit took the hand of Abu Bakr and said, "This is your companion, so pledge allegiance to him. Then they set out." When Abu Bakr sat on the pulpit, he looked at the faces of the people but did not see Ali, so he asked about him. Then some people from the Ansar stood up and brought him. Abu Bakr said, "O Muhammad ibn Ali! Did you intend to split the Muslim community?" Ali answered, "No reproach, O successor of the Messenger of Allah. We pledge allegiance to him." 16539 Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Ali al-Hafiz al-Isfira'ini narrated that Abu Ali al-Husayn ibn Ali al-Hafiz informed us, who narrated that Bundar ibn Bashshar informed him, who narrated from Abu Hisham al-Makhzumi, who narrated from Wahib, who mentioned it in a similar manner. Abu Ali al-Hafiz said, "I heard Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn Khuzaymah saying, 'Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj came to me and asked me about this hadith, so I wrote it for him on a piece of parchment and recited it to him. He said, 'Doesn't this hadith equate a carcass with the Battle of Badr?' I said, 'No, rather it equates Badr with a carcass.'"

لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ خُطَبَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُمْ يَقُولُ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا اسْتَعْمَلَ رَجُلًا مِنْكُمْ قَرَنَ مَعَهُ رَجُلًا مِنَّا فَنَرَى أَنْ يَلِيَ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ رَجُلَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا مِنْكُمْ وَالْآخَرُ مِنَّا قَالَ فَتَتَابَعَتْ خُطَبَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَقَامَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ؓ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَإِنَّ الْإِمَامَ يَكُونُ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَنَحْنُ أَنْصَارُهُ كَمَا كُنَّا أَنْصَارَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ فَقَالَ جَزَاكُمُ اللهُ خَيْرًا يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَثَبَّتَ قَائِلَكُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا لَوْ فَعَلْتُمْ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ لَمَا صَالَحْنَاكُمْ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ بِيَدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ هَذَا صَاحِبُكُمْ فَبَايَعُوهُ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقُوا فَلَمَّا قَعَدَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ نَظَرَ فِي وُجُوهِ الْقَوْمِ فَلَمْ يَرَ عَلِيًّا ؓ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقَامَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَأَتَوْا بِهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ ابْنَ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَخَتَنَهُ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَشُقَّ عَصَا الْمُسْلِمِينَ؟ فَقَالَ لَا تَثْرِيبَ يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ فبايعه ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرَ الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِ ؓ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى جَاءُوا بِهِ فَقَالَ ابْنَ عَمَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَحَوَارِيَّهُ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَشُقَّ عَصَا الْمُسْلِمِينَ؟ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِ لَا تَثْرِيبَ يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللهُ فَبَايَعَاهُ 16539 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ الْإِسْفِرَائِينِيُّ ثَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ أَنْبَأَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَا ثَنَا بُنْدَارُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ ثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ قَالَ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ يَقُولُ جَاءَنِي مُسْلِمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ فَسَأَلَنِي عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَكَتَبْتُهُ لَهُ فِي رُقْعَةٍ وَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ يَسْوِي بَدَنَةً فَقُلْتُ يَسْوِي بَدَنَةً؟ بَلْ هُوَ يَسْوِي بَدْرَةً

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)

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Anyone who sees Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf, then he has indeed harmed Allah and His Messenger." Muhammad ibn Muslimah said to him, "Would you like me to kill him, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Yes." He said, "I am loyal to him, O Messenger of Allah. So allow me to speak to him." He said, "Speak." So Muhammad ibn Muslimah went to him and said, "This man has taken our charity from us and he has caused us harm, and we have grown tired of him." The evil one, when he heard this, said, "By Allah, I will certainly ensnare him, or he will be ensnared by me, and I know that your affairs will come to this." He said, "We cannot submit him until we see what he has done, and we dislike leaving him after we have followed him, until we see what will become of him." He said, "I have come to ask you for a loan." He said, "Yes, on the condition that you pledge your women to me." Muhammad said, "We will pledge our women to you, and you are the most handsome of the Arabs?" He said, "What about your children?" Muhammad said, "They will be insulted by people, as our children were in pledge to him through begging. And perhaps he will say that the son of one of us is pledged by begging." He said, "Then what will you pledge?" He said, "We will pledge our servant, meaning the weapon." He said, "Yes." So he made an appointment with him to meet, and Muhammad returned to his companions. He went to him with Abu Na'ilah, who was the brother of Ka'b through breastfeeding, and two other men. He said, "I have a hold of his head. When I put my hand on his head, then hold him down." So they approached him at night, and Muhammad called out to him, saying, "O Abu al-Ashraf!" His wife said, "Where are you going at this hour?" He said, "This is Muhammad ibn Muslimah and my brother Abu Na'ilah coming to me." So Muhammad entered, wearing one garment from which a pleasant fragrance emanated. He said to him, "How good is your body, and how delightful is your scent." He said, "I have the daughter of so-and-so, and she is the most fragrant of the Arabs." He said, "May I be permitted to smell her?" He said, "Yes." So Muhammad put his hand in her head, and then said, "May I be permitted to smell my companions?" He said, "Yes." So Muhammad put his hand in his own head and then smelled his companions. Then he put his hand in his head again, and then in his head for the second time, until he felt secure. Then he tightly gripped his head, and his companions attacked him and killed him. Then Muhammad went to the Messenger of Allah and informed him.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ لِكَعْبِ بْنِ الْأَشْرَفِ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ آذَى اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ أَتُحِبُّ أَنْ أَقْتُلَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَنَا لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَأْذَنْ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ قَالَ قُلْ فَأَتَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ قَدْ أَخَذَنَا بِالصَّدَقَةِ وَقَدْ عَنَّانَا وَقَدْ مَلِلْنَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ الْخَبِيثُ لَمَّا سَمِعَهَا وَأَيْضًا وَاللهِ لَتَمَلُّنَّهُ أَوْ لَتَمَلُّنُّ مِنْهُ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ أَمْرَكُمْ سَيَصِيرُ إِلَى هَذَا قَالَ إِنَّا لَا نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نُسْلِمَهُ حَتَّى نَنْظُرَ مَا فَعَلَ وَإِنَّا نَكْرَهُ أَنْ نَدَعَهُ بَعْدَ أَنِ اتَّبَعْنَاهُ حَتَّى نَنْظُرَ إِلَى أِيِّ شَيْءٍ يَصِيرُ أَمْرُهُ وَقَدْ جِئْتُكَ لِتُسْلِفَنِي تَمْرًا قَالَ نَعَمْ عَلَى أَنْ تَرْهَنُونِي نِسَاءَكُمْ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ نَرْهَنُكَ نِسَاءَنَا وَأَنْتَ أَجْمَلُ الْعَرَبِ؟ قَالَ فَأَوْلَادَكُمْ قَالَ فَيُعَيِّرُ النَّاسُ أَوْلَادَنَا أَنَّا رَهَنَّاهُمْ بِوَسْقٍ أَوْ وَسْقَيْنِ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ فَيُسَبُّ ابْنُ أَحَدِنَا فَيُقَالُ رُهِنَ بِوَسْقٍ أَوْ وَسْقَيْنِ قَالَ فَأِيُّ شَيْءٍ تَرْهَنُونَ؟ قَالَ نَرْهَنُكَ اللَّأْمَةَ يَعْنِي السِّلَاحَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَوَاعَدَهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ فَرَجَعَ مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَأَقْبَلَ وَأَقْبَلَ مَعَهُ أَبُو نَائِلَةَ وَهُوَ أَخُو كَعْبٍ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ وَجَاءَ مَعَهُ رَجُلَانِ آخَرَانِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي مُسْتَمْكِنٌ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ فَإِذَا أَدْخَلْتُ يَدِي فِي رَأْسِهِ فَدُونَكُمُ الرَّجُلَ فَجَاؤُوهُ لَيْلًا وَأَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ فَقَامُوا فِي ظِلِّ النَّخْلِ وَأَتَاهُ مُحَمَّدٌ فَنَادَاهُ يَا أَبَا الْأَشْرَفِ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ أَيْنَ تَخْرُجُ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ وَأَخِي أَبُو نَائِلَةَ فَنَزَلَ إِلَيْهِ مُلْتَحِفًا فِي ثَوْبِ وَاحِدٍ تَنْفَحُ مِنْهُ رِيحُ الطِّيبِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مُحَمَّدٌ مَا أَحْسَنَ جِسْمَكَ وَأَطْيَبَ رِيحَكَ قَالَ إِنَّ عِنْدِي ابْنَةَ فُلَانٍ وَهِيَ أَعْطَرُ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ فَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أَشُمَّهُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَدْخَلَ مُحَمَّدٌ يَدَهُ فِي رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أُشِمَّ أَصْحَابِي؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَدْخَلَهَا فِي رَأْسِهِ فَأَشَمَّ أَصْحَابَهُ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَهَا مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فِي رَأْسِهِ حَتَّى أَمِنَهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ شَبَّكَ يَدَهُ فِي رَأْسِهِ فَنَصَاهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ دُونَكُمْ عَدُوَّ اللهِ فَخَرَجُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَتَلُوهُ ثُمَّ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَخْبَرَهُ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Busaisah as a scout to see what the caravan of Abu Sufyan was doing. He came (back and met the Prophet in his house) where there was nobody except myself and the Messenger of Allah. I do not remember whether he (Hadrat Anas) made an exception of some wives of the Prophet ﷺ or not and told him the news of the caravan. (Having heard the news), the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out (hurriedly), spoke to the people and said: We are in need (of men) ; whoever has an animal to ride upon ready with him should ride with us. People began to ask him permission for bringing their riding animals which were grazing on the hillocks near Medina. He said: No. (I want) only those who have their riding animals ready. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his Companions proceeded towards Badr and reached there forestalling the polytheists (of Mecca). When the polytheists (also) reached there, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: None of you should step forward to (do) anything unless I am ahead of him. The polytheists (now) advanced (towards us), and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said. Get up to enter Paradise which is equal in width to the heavens and the earth. 'Umair b. al- Humam al-Ansari said: Messenger of Allah, is Paradise equal in extent to the heavens and the earth? He said: Yes. 'Umair said: My goodness! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him: What prompted you to utter these words (i. e. my goodness! ')? He said: Messenger of Allah, nothing but the desire that I be among its residents. He said: Thou art (surely) amona its residents. He took out dates from his bag and began to eat them. Then he said: If I were to live until I have eaten all these dates of mine, it would be a long life. (The narrator said): He threw away all the dates he had with him. Then he fought the enemies until he was killed. (Using translation from Muslim 1901)

بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بُسَيْسَةَ عَيْنًا يَنْظُرُ مَا صَنَعَتْ عِيرُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ فَجَاءَ وَمَا فِي الْبَيْتِ غَيْرِي وَغَيْرُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَا أَدْرِي مَا اسْتَثْنَى بَعْضَ نِسَائِهِ فَحَدَّثَهُ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَتَكَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لَنَا طِلْبَةً فَمَنْ كَانَ ظَهْرُهُ حَاضِرًا فَلْيَرْكَبْ مَعَنَا فَجَعَلَ رِجَالٌ يَسْتَأْذِنُونَ فِي ظُهْرَانِهِمْ فِي عُلْوِ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ ظَهْرُهُ حَاضِرًا فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ حَتَّى سَبَقُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِلَى بَدْرٍ وَجَاءَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُقْدِمَنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ إِلَى شَيْءٍ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا أُوذِنُهُ فَدَنَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُومُوا إِلَى جَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ قَالَ يَقُولُ عُمَيْرُ بْنُ الْحُمَامِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ جَنَّةٌ عَرْضُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ بَخٍ بَخٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى قَوْلِكَ بَخٍ بَخٍ؟ قَالَ لَا وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِلَّا رَجَاءَ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا فَأَخْرَجَ تَمَرَاتٍ مِنْ قَرَنِهِ فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُنَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَئِنْ أَنَا حَيِيتُ حَتَّى آكُلَ تَمَرَاتِي هَذِهِ إِنَّهَا لَحَيَاةٌ طَوِيلَةٌ قَالَ فَرَمَى بِمَا كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنَ التَّمْرِ ثُمَّ قَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى قُتِلَ

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

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade and Abu al-Hasan 'Ali ibn Muhammad al-Muqri reported that al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn Ishaq narrated to us, Yusuf ibn Ya'qub narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Kathir narrated to us, Sufyan narrated to us, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Abis ibn Rabiah narrated from his father 'Abis ibn Rabiah that he said, "It was said to 'Aishah, 'Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbid the eating of sacrificial meat after three days?' She said, 'He only forbade it once in a year when the people were hungry from it and he intended to feed the rich and poor. We used to keep the humps for fifteen days and then eat it.' I then asked, 'Why did you do that?' She laughed and said, 'The household of Muhammad ﷺ did not get full with the bread made of barley continuously for three days until he met Allah ﷻ.'

" عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى ابن عُمَرَ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: مَا الذى يَحْمِلُكَ عَلَى أَنْ تَحُجَّ عَامًا وَتَعْتَمر عَامًا وَتَتْرُكَ الجِهَادَ في سَبِيلِ الله، وَقَدْ علِمْت مَا رَغَّبَ الله فِيهِ؟ قَالَ: يَابْنَ أَخِى: بُنى الإسْلاَمُ عَلَى خَمْسٍ: إِيمانٌ بِالله وَرَسُولِه، وَصَلاَةُ الْخَمْسِ، وَصِيامُ شَهِرِ رَمَضَانَ، وَأَدَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ، وَحَجُّ الْبَيْت، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: أَلاَ تَسْمَعُ مَا ذَكَرَ الله فِى كِتَابِهِ {وَإِنْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اقْتَتَلُوا فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَا فَإِنْ بَغَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى فَقَاتِلُوا الَّتِي تَبْغِي حَتَّى تَفِيءَ إِلَى أَمْرِ اللَّهِ}، فَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تُقَاتِلَ الْفِئَة الْبَاغِية كمَا أَمَرَكَ الله في كتَابِهِ؟ فَقَالَ: يَابْنَ أَخِى لأَنْ أَعْتَبِرَ بِهَذِهِ الآيَةِ فَلاَ أَقَاتِل أَحَبّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَعْتَبِرَ بِالأَيَةِ التَّي يَقُولُ الله فيها {وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ} فَقَالَ: أَلاَ تَرَى أَنَّ الله يَقُولُ: {وَقُاتِلُوهُم حَتَّى لاَ تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَيَكُونَ الدِّينُ كُلُّهُ لله}، قَالَ ابن عُمَرَ: قَدْ فَعَلنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ أنْ كَانَ أهْلُ الإسْلاَمِ قَلِيلًا وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُفْتَنُ فِى دِينهِ إِمَّا أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ وِإمَّا أَنْ يَسْتَرِقِّوهُ حَتَّى كَثُرَ أَهْلُ الإسْلاَمِ فَلَمْ يَكُن فِتْنَةً، قَالَ: فَمَا قَوْلُكَ في عَلِىٍّ وَعُثْمَانَ؟ قَالَ أَمَّا عُثْمَانُ: فَكَانَ الله عفى عَنْهُ وَكَرِهْتُم أَن تَعْفُوا، وَأَمَّا عَلِىٌّ: فَابْنُ عَمِّ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ وَخَتَنِهِ وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ، وَهَذَا بَيْتُهُ حَيْثُ تَرَوْنَ ".

"عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ [أَنَّ] عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ طَلَّقَ امْرَأتَهُ الْبَتَّةَ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهَا خَالَتُهَا فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ قَيْسٍ فَأَمَرتْهَا بِالإنْتِقَالِ مِنْ بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا، فَسَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ مَرْوَانُ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَى مَسْكَنِهَا وَسَأَلَهَا: مَا حَمَلَهَا عَلَى الإنْتِقَالِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْقَضِي عَدَّتُهَا؟ فَأَرْسَلَتْ تُخْبِرُهُ أَنَّ خَالَتَهَا فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ قَيْسٍ أَفْتَتْهَا بِذَلِكَ وَأَخْبَرَتْهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَفْتَاهَا بِالْخُرُوجِ، أَو قَالَ بِالإنْتِقَالِ حِينَ طَلَّقَهَا أَبُو حَفْصٍ عَمْرُو بْنُ حَفْصٍ المخْزُومِي، فَأَرْسَلَ مَرْوَانُ قَبِيصَةَ بْنَ ذُؤَيْبٍ إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ بنْتِ قَيْسٍ فَسَأَلَهَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَفْصٍ الْمُخْزُومِيِّ، قَالَتْ: وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَّرَ عليّا عَلَى بَعْضِ الْيَمَنِ، فَخَرَجَ مَعَهُ زَوْجُهَا وَبَعَثَ إِليهَا بِتطليقةٍ كَانَتْ بَقِيَتْ لَهَا وَأَمَرَ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ، وَالْحَارِثَ بْن هِشَامٍ أَنْ يُنْفِقَا عَلَيْهَا، فَقَالَا: وَاللهِ مَالَهَا نَفَقَةٌ إِلا أَنْ تَكُونَ حَامِلًا، قَالَتْ: فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: لَا نَفَقَة لَكِ إِلا أنْ تَكُونِي حَامِلًا، وَاسْتَأذَنَتْهُ فِي الإنْتِقَالِ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا، فَقَالَتْ: أَيْنَ أَنْتَقِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ عِنْدَ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ، وَكَانَ أَعْمَى تَضَعُ ثِيَابهَا عِنْدَهُ وَلَا
