(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."

Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent some men from the Ansar to ((kill) Abu Rafiʿ, the Jew, and appointed ʿAbdullah bin Atik as their leader. Abu Rafiʿ used to hurt Messenger of Allah ﷺ and help his enemies against him. He lived in his castle in the land of Hijaz. When those men approached (the castle) after the sun had set and the people had brought back their livestock to their homes. ʿAbdullah (bin Atik) said to his companions, "Sit down at your places. I am going, and I will try to play a trick on the gate-keeper so that I may enter (the castle)." So ʿAbdullah proceeded towards the castle, and when he approached the gate, he covered himself with his clothes, pretending to answer the call of nature. The people had gone in, and the gate-keeper (considered ʿAbdullah as one of the castle's servants) addressing him saying, "O Allah's Servant! Enter if you wish, for I want to close the gate." ʿAbdullah added in his story, "So I went in (the castle) and hid myself. When the people got inside, the gate-keeper closed the gate and hung the keys on a fixed wooden peg. I got up and took the keys and opened the gate. Some people were staying late at night with Abu Rafiʿ for a pleasant night chat in a room of his. When his companions of nightly entertainment went away, I ascended to him, and whenever I opened a door, I closed it from inside. I said to myself, 'Should these people discover my presence, they will not be able to catch me till I have killed him.' So I reached him and found him sleeping in a dark house amidst his family, I could not recognize his location in the house. So I shouted, 'O Abu Rafiʿ!' Abu Rafiʿ said, 'Who is it?' I proceeded towards the source of the voice and hit him with the sword, and because of my perplexity, I could not kill him. He cried loudly, and I came out of the house and waited for a while, and then went to him again and said, 'What is this voice, O Abu Rafiʿ?' He said, 'Woe to your mother! A man in my house has hit me with a sword! I again hit him severely but I did not kill him. Then I drove the point of the sword into his belly (and pressed it through) till it touched his back, and I realized that I have killed him. I then opened the doors one by one till I reached the staircase, and thinking that I had reached the ground, I stepped out and fell down and got my leg broken in a moonlit night. I tied my leg with a turban and proceeded on till I sat at the gate, and said, 'I will not go out tonight till I know that I have killed him.' So, when (early in the morning) the cock crowed, the announcer of the casualty stood on the wall saying, 'I announce the death of Abu Rafiʿ, the merchant of Hijaz. Thereupon I went to my companions and said, 'Let us save ourselves, for Allah has killed Abu Rafiʿ,' So I (along with my companions proceeded and) went to the Prophet ﷺ and described the whole story to him. "He said, 'Stretch out your (broken) leg. I stretched it out and he rubbed it and it became All right as if I had never had any ailment whatsoever."

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.

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "While three persons were traveling, they were overtaken by rain and they took shelter in a cave in a mountain. A big rock fell from the mountain over the mouth of the cave and blocked it. They said to each other. 'Think of such good (righteous) deeds which, you did for Allah's sake only, and invoke Allah by giving reference to those deeds so that Allah may relieve you from your difficulty. one of them said, 'O Allah! I had my parents who were very old and I had small children for whose sake I used to work as a shepherd. When I returned to them at night and milked (the sheep), I used to start giving the milk to my parents first before giving to my children. And one day I went far away in search of a grazing place (for my sheep), and didn't return home till late at night and found that my parents had slept. I milked (my livestock) as usual and brought the milk vessel and stood at their heads, and I disliked to wake them up from their sleep, and I also disliked to give the milk to my children before my parents though my children were crying (from hunger) at my feet. So this state of mine and theirs continued till the day dawned. (O Allah!) If you considered that I had done that only for seeking Your pleasure, then please let there be an opening through which we can see the sky.' So Allah made for them an opening through which they could see the sky. Then the second person said, 'O Allah! I had a she-cousin whom I loved as much as a passionate man love a woman. I tried to seduce her but she refused till I paid her one-hundred Dinars So I worked hard till I collected one hundred Dinars and went to her with that But when I sat in between her legs (to have sexual intercourse with her), she said, 'O Allah's slave! Be afraid of Allah ! Do not deflower me except legally (by marriage contract). So I left her O Allah! If you considered that I had done that only for seeking Your pleasure then please let the rock move a little to have a (wider) opening.' So Allah shifted that rock to make the opening wider for them. And the last (third) person said 'O Allah ! I employed a laborer for wages equal to a Faraq (a certain measure: of rice, and when he had finished his job he demanded his wages, but when I presented his due to him, he gave it up and refused to take it. Then I kept on sowing that rice for him (several times) till managed to buy with the price of the yield, some cows and their shepherd Later on the laborer came to me an said. '(O Allah's slave!) Be afraid o Allah, and do not be unjust to me an give me my due.' I said (to him). 'Go and take those cows and their shepherd. So he took them and went away. (So, O Allah!) If You considered that I had done that for seeking Your pleasure, then please remove the remaining part of the rock.' And so Allah released them (from their difficulty).

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.

Three persons set out on a journey. They were overtaken by rain and they had to find protection in a mountain cave where at its mouth there fell a rock of that mountain and thus blocked them altogether. One of them said to the others: Look to your good deeds that you performed for the sake of Allah and then supplicate Allah, the Exalted, that He might rescue you (from this trouble). One of them said: 0 Allah, I had my parents who were old and my wife and my small children also. I tended the flock and when I came back to them in the evening, I milked them (the sheep, goats, cows, etc.) and first served that milk to my parents. One day I was obliged to go out to a distant place in search of fodder and I could not come back before evening and found them (the parents) asleep. I milked the animals as I used to milk and brought milk to them and stood by their heads avoiding to disturb them from sleep and I did not deem it advisable to serve milk to my children before serving them. My children wept near my feet. I remained there in that very state and my parents too until it was morning. And (0 Allah) if Thou art aware that I did this in order to seek Thine pleasure, grant us riddance from this trouble. (The rock slipped a bit) that they could see the sky. The second one said: 0 Allah, I had a female cousin whom I loved more than the men love the women. I wanted to have sexual intercourse with her; she refused but on the condition of getting one hundred dinirs. It was with very great difficulty that I could collect one hundred dinirs and then paid them to her and when I was going to have a sexual intercourse with her, that she said: Servant of Allah, fear Allah and do not break the seal (of chastity) but by lawful means. I got up. 0 Allah, if Thou art aware that I did this in order to seek Thine pleasure, rid us from this trouble. The situation was somewhat eased for them. The third one said: Allah, I employed a workman for a measure of rice. After he had finished his work I gave him his dues (in the form of) a measure of rice, but he did not accept them. I used these rice as seeds, and that gave a bumper crop and I became rich enough to have cows and flocks (in my possession). He came to me and said: Fear Allah, and commit no crueltv upon me in regard to my dues. I said to him: Takeaway this flock of cows and sheep. He said: Fear Allah and do not make a fun of me. I said: I am not making a fun of you. You take the cows and the flocks. So he took them. 0 Allah, if Thou art aware that I did it for Thine pleasure, case the situation for us. And Allah relieved them from the rest of the trouble.

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

"We went out with the Messenger of Allah on the Farewell pilgrimage, and they said : 'O Messenger of Allah, ﷺ celibacy has become too difficult for us'. He said : 'Then make temporary marriages with these women'. So we went to them, but they insisted on setting a fixed time between us and them. They mentioned that to the Prophet and he said : 'Set a fixed time between you and them.' So I went out with a cousin of mine. He had a cloak and I had a cloak, but his cloak was finer than mine, and I was younger than him. We came to a women and she said: 'One cloak is like another.'

أَنَّهُمْ سَارُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي حِجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ فَقَالَ «اسْتَمْتِعُوا مِنْ هَذِهِ النِّسَاءِ» وَالِاسْتِمْتَاعُ عِنْدَنَا التَّزْوِيجُ فَعَرَضْنَا ذَلِكَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ لَا يَضْرِبنَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُنَّ أَجَلًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «افْعَلُوا» فَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَابْنُ عَمٍّ لِي مَعَهُ بُرْدٌ وَمَعِي بُرْدٌ وَبُرْدُهُ أَجْوَدُ مِنْ بُرْدِي وَأَنَا أَشَبُّ مِنْهُ فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ فَأَعْجَبَهَا شَبَابِي وَأَعْجَبَهَا بُرْدُهُ فَقَالَتْ بُرْدٌ كَبُرْدٍ وَكَانَ الْأَجَلُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهَا عَشْرًا فَبِتُّ عِنْدَهَا تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ ثُمَّ غَدَوْتُ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَائِمٌ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْبَابِ فَقَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ أَذِنْتُ لَكُمْ فِي الِاسْتِمْتَاعِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ أَلَا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ حَرَّمَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْءٌ فَلْيُخَلِّ سَبِيلَهَا وَلَا تَأْخُذُوا مِمَّا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ شَيْئًا»

[AI] We descended into a valley from the valleys of Tihamat, a hollow in the mountains. Indeed, we descended into it quickly. He said, "And in the darkness of dawn, the people were like the branches and sides of a tree, they gathered and prepared." He said, "By Allah, we did not expect to be surrounded except by the army that has intensified its attack on us." The people retreated, but they did not retreat in the way we expected. The messenger of Allah ﷺ moved to the right and said, "Come to me, O people, I am the messenger of Allah, I am Muhammad ibn Abdullah." He said, "The camels couldn't bear being close to each other." The people left, except for a group of Muhajireen, Ansar, and his family who remained steadfast with him ﷺ. Abu Bakr, Umar, Ali ibn Abi Talib, Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib, his son Al-Fadl ibn Abbas, Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith, Rabee'ah ibn al-Harith, Ayman ibn Ubayd, who is the son of Umm Ayman, and Usamah ibn Zaid. Ibn Ishaq said, "And a man from the Hawazin tribe was riding a camel, holding a red flag in his hand, and a black head on a long spear, in front of the people. The Hawazin were behind him. When he reached them, he pierced them with his spear, and when the people moved away from him, he raised it for those behind him to follow him." Ibn Ishaq said, "And Asim ibn Umar ibn Qatadah narrated to me from Abdul Rahman ibn Jabir, who narrated from his father Jabir ibn Abdullah. He said, 'While this man from the Hawazin tribe, the one with the flag on his camel, was doing what he was doing, Ali ibn Abi Talib and a man from the Ansar wanted him. Ali approached him from behind, struck the back of the camel's neck, causing him to fall onto his knees. The Ansari man then jumped on the man and struck him with a powerful blow that cut his foot in half. He fell from his mount, and the people scattered. By Allah, the defeated people did not return to fight until they found themselves captives under the custody of the messenger of Allah ﷺ."

[AI] "We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Al-Madinah to perform the Farewell Pilgrimage. When we reached 'Usfan, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, 'Umrah has now entered into Hajj.' Suraqah bin Malik or Malik bin Suraqah asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, teach us a way to perform the ritual of a people as if they were born today, is it only for this year or forever?' He replied, 'Rather, it is forever.' When we reached Makkah, we performed the Tawaf around the Ka'bah and between As-Safa and Al-Marwah. Then, he commanded us to enjoy the women, so we returned to him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, they have completed everything except for a specific time.' He said, 'So, do it.' So, I and my companion, both of us had cloaks, entered upon a woman and presented ourselves to her. She began looking at my companion's cloak, finding it better than mine, and looking at me, finding me more attractive than him. She said, 'A cloak in exchange for a cloak, and she chose me, so I married her with one cloak. I spent the night with her, then when morning came, I went to the mosque. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivering a sermon from the pulpit, in which he said, 'Whoever among you marries a woman for a specific time, let him give her what he has promised her, and he should not take anything back from what he has given her, and let him part ways with her. For indeed, Allah, the Most High, has made it forbidden upon you until the Day of Resurrection."

[AI] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and when we completed our Hajj, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us, "Enjoy yourselves with these women." He said, "And the enjoyment for us is on the day of marriage." He said, "We presented this to the women, and they agreed, except that we set a deadline between us and them." He said, "So we mentioned this to the Prophet ﷺ , and he said, 'Do it.'" He said, "So I and my cousin, and with him a cloak, and I have a cloak with me, and his cloak is better than mine, and I am more handsome than him. So we came to a woman and we presented this to her, and she liked my youthfulness and liked my cousin's cloak. So she said, 'A cloak like a cloak?' He said, 'So I married her and the deadline between me and her was for ten days.' He said, 'So I spent that night with her, then I went to the mosque in the morning, and behold, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing between the door and the Rukn (the corner of the Kaaba) giving a speech to the people, saying, 'O people, I had permitted you to enjoy yourselves with these women, but be aware that Allah, blessed and exalted, has forbidden it until the Day of Judgment. So whoever has anything from them, let him let go of it, and do not take anything from what you have given them.

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا عُمْرَتَنَا قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَمْتِعُوا مِنْ هَذِهِ النِّسَاءِ قَالَ وَالِاسْتِمْتَاعُ عِنْدَنَا يَوْمُ التَّزْوِيجِ قَالَ فَعَرَضْنَا ذَلِكَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ فَأَبَيْنَ إِلَّا أَنْ نَضْرِبَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُنَّ أَجَلًا قَالَ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ افْعَلُوا قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَابْنُ عَمٍّ لِي وَمَعَهُ بُرْدَةٌ وَمَعِي بُرْدَةٌ وَبُرْدَتُهُ أَجْوَدُ مِنْ بُرْدَتِي وَأَنَا أَشَبُّ مِنْهُ فَأَتَيْنَا امْرَأَةً فَعَرَضْنَا ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهَا فَأَعْجَبَهَا شَبَابِي وَأَعْجَبَهَا بُرْدُ ابْنِ عَمِّي فَقَالَتْ بُرْدٌ كَبُرْدٍ قَالَ فَتَزَوَّجْتُهَا فَكَانَ الْأَجَلُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهَا عَشْرًا قَالَ فَبِتُّ عِنْدَهَا تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتُ غَادِيًا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الْبَابِ وَالْحَجَرِ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَيَقُولُ أَلَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ كُنْتُ أَذِنْتُ لَكُمْ فِي الِاسْتِمْتَاعِ مِنْ هَذِهِ النِّسَاءِ أَلَا وَإِنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَدْ حَرَّمَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْءٌ فَلْيُخَلِّ سَبِيلَهَا وَلَا تَأْخُذُوا مِمَّا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ شَيْئًا

[AI] Narrated Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ : When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Madinah, his daughter Zainab came out of Makkah with her maternal cousin, Kinanah bin Kinanah. They came in the course of her maternal uncle, Hibbar bin Aswad, stabbing her camel with his spear until he made it fall down and she had a miscarriage and shed the placenta. Banu Hashim and Banu Umayyah argued about her custody. Banu Umayyah said: We have more right to her, as she was under their guardianship, Habbar bin Aswad. She was with Hind bint Utbah bin Rabi'ah; she said to her: Hind, this is because of your father. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Zaid bin Harithah: Why don't you go and bring Zainab to me? He replied: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He took the ring of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and went along. As the shepherd went along with it and then asked him: Whose sheep are these? He replied: They belong to Zainab bint Muhammad. He moved on for a while and then said to him: Do you allow me to give you something in return for her which you would not tell to anyone? He replied in the affirmative. He gave him the ring and then the shepherd realized who he was. When he reached there, she recognized him and said: Who gave you this? He said: A man. She said: Where did you leave him? He said: At such and such place. When it was night, she went to him, and when she came to him, he said: Mount behind me, and she replied: No, but you mount behind me. He mounted behind her and she came riding. The Prophet ﷺ used to say to her: "She is the best of my daughters, but it is unfortunate that she has been afflicted with divorce." (Al-Asbahani said: Before the verse "Call them by [the names of] their fathers" [Quran 33:5] was revealed)

[AI] From Abu Rafi, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: I was a young boy under the guardianship of Al-Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib, and I had embraced Islam, and so had the mother of Al-Fadl and Al-Abbas. Al-Abbas had concealed his Islam out of fear from his people, and Abu Lahab had withdrawn from the battle of Badr and sent Al-'As bin Hisham in his place. Al-'As had a debt to Al-Abbas, so he said to him, "Settle my debt for me and I will fight in this battle on your behalf." So Al-Abbas agreed and settled his debt. When the news of the battle reached us, Allah disgraced Abu Lahab. I was a weak man who used to carve arrowheads in a room, and by Allah, I was sitting in that room carving arrowheads while Umm Al-Fadl was with me. Suddenly, I saw Abu Lahab dragging his feet near the door of the room, and his back was towards me. The people said, "This is Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith." Abu Lahab said to him, "Come here, O son of my brother." So Abu Sufyan went and sat with him. When the people saw them, they gathered around them. Abu Lahab asked Abu Sufyan, "How did things go with the people?" Abu Sufyan replied, "Nothing, By Allah, if we had met them and they attacked us, they would have killed us as they pleased and captured us as they pleased. By Allah, I have not seen people with white garments on fast horses like them. By Allah, no one could stand against them." Then, I lifted up the door of the room and said, "By Allah, those were angels." Abu Lahab raised his hand and struck me on the face, causing my nose to bleed. He then threw me to the ground, hitting me until I fell down. Umm Al-Fadl stood up and seized him, taking hold of a pillar in the room and struck him with it, causing him to bleed from the head, and she said, "O enemy of Allah, you have weakened him. If you have seen his master absent, he would have stood up humiliated. By Allah, he did not live for more than seven nights until Allah struck him with a swelling, and he died. He left his two sons for two or three nights without burying him until you (Quraysh) did." Then a man from Quraysh said to his two sons, "Are you not ashamed that your father's body is in his house?" They replied, "We fear this wound." Quraysh used to fear this swelling just as they feared the plague. The man said, "I will go with you." They said, "By Allah, they did not wash him except by pouring water on him from a distance. Then they carried him to the highest point in Makkah and threw him over the wall, and then they stoned him." Adh-Dhahabi remained silent about this in his summary.

[AI] Zainab bint Rasul Allah (pbuh) said, as I was preparing in Mecca to go to my father, Hind bint Utbah ibn Rabiah followed me. She said, "O daughter of Muhammad, did it not reach me that you intend to leave with your father?" I said, "I did not intend that." She said, "O cousin's daughter, do not do that. If you have any needs for supplies for your journey and want me to deliver them to your father, I will do it because I have a need from you." Zainab said, "By Allah, I did not see it except for her to do so." She said, "But I was afraid of her, so I denied that I intended it and I prepared myself. When I finished my preparations, my brother-in-law Kananah ibn al-Rabi'a came and he brought a camel for me. I rode on it, and he took his bow and his spear and led me out in broad daylight while I was in my litter. The men of Quraysh spoke about it and went out in search of her until they caught up with her at Dhu Tuwa. The first one to reach her was Hubbab ibn al-Aswad ibn al-Muttalib ibn Asad ibn Abdul-Uzza, and Nafi' ibn Abd Qais al-Fihri, a relative of the Banu Abi 'Ubayd, from Iffriqiyyah. Hubbab intimidated them with his spear while she was in her litter, and the woman was pregnant as they claimed. When she was on the verge of giving birth, I exposed her belly, so her father-in-law blessed it and his spear fell. He said, "No man comes near me except that I will strike him with an arrow." The people hesitated about him, and Abu Sufyan of the Quraysh came to him in a delegation, saying, "O man, cease your actions against us until we converse with you." Then Abu Sufyan approached him until he stood in front of him and said, "Indeed, you did not achieve what you wanted. You left with the woman in public, and our misfortune and calamity are known. Muhammad (pbuh) has not come to us thinking that we have humiliated ourselves for our misfortune. It is weakness and despair for us. By my life, we are not withholding her from her father out of necessity, but return with the woman until the voices settle and people say that we have returned her, then secretly guide her back to her father." He did as he was told, and he returned and stayed for several nights until the voices settled. Then he took her out at night and handed her over to Zaid ibn Harithah and his companion. They brought her to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh).

[AI] Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, narrated that when the Prophet ﷺ arrived in Medina, his daughter Zainab came from Makkah with kinana or the son of kinana. They were following her in her journey. Hubbār ibn al-Aswad caught up with her and kept stabbing her camel with his spear until he caused it to stumble and what was in her belly was cast out and blood was shed. She became pregnant and the Banu Hashim and the Banu Umayyah disputed over her. The Banu Umayyah said, "We have more right to her," and she was under the care of their cousin Abu al-'As. They brought her to Hind bint Utba ibn Rabiah, and Hind used to say to her, "This is because of your father." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Zaid ibn Haritha, "Do not go until you bring Zainab to me." He said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Take my ring and give it to her." Zaid left and left his camel behind. He kept walking until he met a shepherd and asked him, "Who do you look after?" He said, "Abu al-'As." He said, "Whose are these sheep?" He said, "They belong to Zainab bint Muhammad." He walked with him for a while, then he said, "Do you mind if I give you something to give to her and not mention it to anyone?" He said, "Yes." He gave him the ring, and the shepherd went home and gave it to her. She recognized it and asked, "Who gave you this?" He said, "A man." She asked, "Where did you leave him?" He said, "In such and such a place." She remained silent until nightfall, then she went out to him. When she came to him, he said to her, "Ride on (your camel)." She said, "No, but you ride in front and I will ride behind you." So he rode in front and she rode behind him until they arrived. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "She is my best daughter who has been afflicted." Ali ibn al-Husayn heard that and went to Uruwah and said, "What story have you heard about me that is used to belittle the right of Fatimah?" Uruwah said, "By Allah, I do not like to have anything between the east and the west, and I am belittling the right of Fatimah. It belongs to her. But after that, I will never mention it."

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ خَرَجَتِ ابْنَتُهُ زَيْنَبُ مِنْ مَكَّةَ مَعَ كِنَانَةَ أَوِ ابْنِ كِنَانَةَ فَخَرَجُوا فِي أَثَرِهَا فَأَدْرَكَهَا هَبَّارُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَطْعَنُ بَعِيرَهَا بِرُمْحِهِ حَتَّى صَرَعَهَا وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا وَأَهْرَاقَتْ دَمًا فَحُمِلَتْ فَاشْتَجَرَ فِيهَا بَنُو هَاشِمٍ وَبَنُو أُمَيَّةَ فَقَالَ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِهَا وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ ابْنِ عَمِّهِمْ أَبِي الْعَاصِ فَصَارَتْ عِنْدَ هِنْدِ بِنْتِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ وَكَانَتْ تَقُولُ لَهَا هِنْدٌ هَذَا بِسَبَبِ أَبِيكِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِزَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ «أَلَا تَنْطَلِقُ فَتَجِيئُنِي بِزَيْنَبَ؟» قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَخُذْ خَاتَمِي فَأَعْطِهَا إِيَّاهُ» فَانْطَلَقَ زَيْدٌ وَتَرَكَ بَعِيرَهُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَتَلَطَّفُ حَتَّى لَقِيَ رَاعِيًا فَقَالَ لِمَنْ تَرْعَى؟ قَالَ لِأَبِي الْعَاصِ قَالَ فَلِمَنْ هَذِهِ الْغَنَمُ؟ قَالَ لِزَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَسَارَ مَعَهُ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ أُعْطِيكَ شَيْئًا تُعْطِيهَا إِيَّاهُ وَلَا تَذْكُرُهُ لِأَحَدٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَعْطَاهُ الْخَاتَمَ فَانْطَلَقَ الرَّاعِي فَأَدْخَلَ غَنَمَهُ وَأَعْطَاهَا الْخَاتَمَ فَعَرَفَتْهُ فَقَالَتْ مَنْ أَعْطَاكَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ رَجُلٌ قَالَتْ وَأَيْنَ تَرَكْتَهُ؟ قَالَ بِمَكَانِ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فَسَكَتَتْ حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ اللَّيْلُ خَرَجَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا جَاءَتْهُ قَالَ لَهَا ارْكَبِي قَالَتْ لَا وَلَكِنِ ارْكَبْ أَنْتَ بَيْنَ يَدِي فَرَكِبَ وَرَكِبَتْ وَرَاءَهُ حَتَّى أَتَتْ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «هِيَ أَفْضَلُ بَنَاتِي أُصِيبَتْ فِي» فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى عُرْوَةَ فَقَالَ مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكَ تُحَدِّثُ بِهِ تَنْتَقِصُ بِهِ حَقَّ فَاطِمَةَ قَالَ عُرْوَةُ «وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَإِنِّي أَنْتَقِصُ فَاطِمَةَ حَقًّا هُوَ لَهَا وَأَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ لَكَ أَنْ لَا أُحَدِّثَ بِهِ أَبَدًا»

[AI] From his father Rifaa'ah ibn Rafee', who witnessed the Battle of Badr with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : He (the Prophet) and his cousin Mu'adh ibn 'Afra'ah went out until they reached Makkah. When they descended from Thaniyyah, they saw a man under a tree. The Prophet said, "Let us approach this man, so that we may entrust him with our belongings and make Tawaf around the Kaaba." We greeted him with the pre-Islamic form of greeting and he responded to us with the Islamic greeting. We had heard of the Prophet ﷺ , so we denied it and asked him, "Who are you?" He said, "Come down." We descended and said, "Where is the man who claims and says what he says?" He said, "I am him." So I said, "Present yourself to me." He presented Islam to us and said, "Who created the heavens, the earth, and the mountains?" We said, "Allah created them." He said, "Then who created you?" We said, "Allah created us." He said, "Then who created these idols that you worship?" We said, "We made them ourselves." He said, "The Creator is more deserving of worship than the created. You are more deserving of being worshiped, as you made them, but Allah is more deserving of being worshiped than something you made." I invite you to worship Allah alone, testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I am the Messenger of Allah. I also invite you to maintain kinship ties and refrain from oppression and transgression." We said, "By Allah, if what you are calling us to is false, then it would be among the noblest of matters and the best of characters." So we entrusted him with our belongings until we could go to the Kaaba. Mu'adh ibn 'Afra'ah sat with him and said, "I went to the Kaaba, performed Tawaf, and came out with seven cups. I gave him one of them and said, 'O Allah, if what Muhammad is calling to is true, then remove his cup seven times.'" He struck it seven times and each time, it emitted a sound. So I shouted, 'I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.' People gathered around me saying, 'This man is insane, he struck the cup seven times and it still made a sound.' I said, 'No, by Allah, he is a believer.' Then I went up to a high place in Makkah, and when Mu'adh saw me, he said, 'Indeed, Rifaa'ah has come with a face that nothing has ever harmed before.' So I came to him, believed in him, and Allah's Messenger ﷺ taught us Surah Yusuf. We recited, "In the name of your Lord who created" until we reached the verse, "We will return to our family." When we were in 'Aqiq, Mu'adh said, 'I have never spent a night away from my family before, so let me stay here until morning.' So I spent the night with him and I had never done what I did before. Rifaa'ah would always present himself to his people after returning from a journey.

[AI] We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and when we completed our Umrah, he said to us, "Enjoy yourselves with these women." He said, "And enjoyment for us at that time is marriage." So we proposed to those women to set a fixed term between us and them. We mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "Do it." So I went out, along with my cousin who had a cloak with him, and I had a cloak too, but his cloak was better than mine, and I was younger than him. Then we approached a woman and presented our proposal to her. She liked my youthfulness and she liked the cloak of my cousin, so she said, "A cloak like a cloak." I married her and the duration between me and her was for ten nights. I stayed with her that night and in the morning, I went to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ was standing between the pillar and the gate, delivering a sermon to the people, and he was saying, "O people, I have given permission to you to enjoy yourselves with these women. And behold, Allah has forbade that until the Day of Resurrection. So whoever has anything with them, he should remove his way, and do not take anything from what you have given to them."

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا عُمْرَتَنَا قَالَ لَنَا «اسْتَمْتِعُوا مِنْ هَذِهِ النِّسَاءِ» قَالَ وَالِاسْتِمْتَاعُ عِنْدَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ التَّزْوِيجُ فَعَرَضْنَا بِذَلِكَ النِّسَاءُ أَنْ نَضْرِبَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُنَّ أَجَلًا قَالَ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «افْعَلُوا ذَلِكَ» فَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَابْنُ عَمٍّ لِي مَعِي بُرْدَةٌ وَمَعَهُ بُرْدَةٌ وَبُرْدُهُ أَجْوَدُ مِنْ بُرْدِي وَأَنَا أَشَبُّ مِنْهُ فَأَتَيْنَا امْرَأَةً فَعَرَضْنَا ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهَا فَأَعْجَبَهَا شَبَابِي وَأَعْجَبَهَا بُرْدُ ابْنِ عَمِّي فَقَالَتْ بُرْدٌ كَبُرْدٍ فَتَزَوَّجْتُهَا وَكَانَ الْأَجَلُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهَا عَشْرًا فَلَبِثْتُ عِنْدَهَا تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتُ غَادِيًا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الْحَجَرِ وَالْبَابِ قَائِمٌ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي قَدْ أَذِنْتُ لَكُمْ فِي الِاسْتِمْتَاعِ فِي هَذِهِ النِّسَاءِ أَلَا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ حَرَّمَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا فَلْيُخَلِّ سَبِيلَهُ وَلَا تَأْخُذُوا مِمَّا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ شَيْئًا»

[AI] Narrated by Abu Rafi, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ : I was a servant to Abbas ibn Abdul-Muttalib and I had already embraced Islam, along with Umm al-Fadl. Abbas also embraced Islam but he kept his conversion a secret due to fear of his people. Abu Lahab, on the other hand, had turned away from the Battle of Badr and sent Akhtab ibn Hisham in his place. Akhtab owed a debt to Abbas, so he asked him to cover his debt in return for joining the battle. Abbas agreed, and when news of the battle arrived, Allah inflicted punishment upon Abu Lahab. I was weak at that time and I used to carve these (stone) vessels in a small room. Abu Lahab passed by me and, by Allah, I was sitting in the room carving the vessels while Umm al-Fadl was by me. Abu Lahab saw her and started dragging her by her legs. I said to him, "This is Umm al-Fadl, the sinner, the wife of Abbas, and you see her dragging on the ground?" He replied, "O nephew! Go away and mind your own business." So, Abu Lahab went away and sat next to the pillar in front of the room, with his back towards me. People said, "This is Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith." Then Abu Lahab called me saying, "O nephew! Come here." I went to him and he said, "O nephew! Look at the people. How did they react?" I said, "By Allah, they did not move except when we met them and they attacked us and we defended ourselves. They killed us as they pleased and captured us as they pleased."

By Allah, when I saw the people, I could not bear it. I took the pillar of the room and said, "By Allah, these are the angels." Abu Lahab raised his hand to slap me, but I ducked and his blow struck my face instead. Umm al-Fadl witnessed this and she held him back. I then picked up a piece of the pillar and hit him with it, causing a deep wound on his head. She said, "You enemy of Allah, have you oppressed him when you see his master absent?" Abu Lahab became submissive and, by Allah, he did not live for more than seven nights before Allah struck him with a disease that killed him. His sons left him for two or three nights until they buried him. A man from Quraish said to his sons, "Aren't you ashamed? Your father has died and you have left him in his house." They replied, "We fear this disease." Quraish used to avoid the disease like they would avoid the plague. The man said, "I will go with you." They replied, "By Allah, they only washed him by throwing water at him from distant places and then they carried him and threw him on top of a wall. They stoned him to death."

[AI] About how he killed Hamza, may Allah have mercy on him? So we approached him and met a man while we were asking about him. He said, "He is a man who has been overcome by this alcohol. If you find him sober, you will find him an Arab man who can tell you whatever stories you want to hear. And if you find him otherwise, then leave him." So we went to him and found him in his courtyard. He looked at Ubaidullah ibn Adi and said, "Ibn Adi ibn Khayar?" He said yes. He said, "I have not seen you since your mother, Al-Sa'adiyya, handed you over to me. It was only when your feet sparkled that I recognized you." He said, "I said to him, 'We came to you to inform us about how you killed Hamza?' He said, 'I was a servant of Jubayr ibn Mut'im, and his uncle was Tu'a'imah ibn Adi. He was killed on the day of Badr. He said, 'If you kill the uncle of Muhammad, my uncle, then you are free.' So I left on the day of Uhud with people, carrying my weapon. My only concern was to achieve freedom, so I attacked Hamza, and Sabaa' ibn Abdul Uzza attacked him as well. I backed off, and he killed Sabaa' while he was cutting people with his sword, like a thirsty camel. When Sabaa' approached him, Hamza said, 'Come, O son of Muktah, the one who cuts off the tails.' So I approached him, and he hit me and I protected myself with something, and I became furious until I was done with it. When I was done, I struck at him and the blow landed on his collarbone. Then I left and retreated and abandoned the fight. I returned among the people to Makkah and I was freed. When Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ , conquered Makkah, I went to Ta'if and stayed there. When the people of Ta'if agreed to make peace with Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ , I was confused about where to go. While I was in my thoughts, a man appeared to me and said, 'Why do I see you like this?' I said, 'I have received news about my uncle, and I see these people have agreed upon peace. I do not know where to go.' He said, 'By Allah, he does not kill anyone who comes to him and proclaims his testimony. So I left just as I am, and by Allah, I did not feel at ease until I stood in front of him in Madinah.' He raised his head and looked at me, and said, 'O Wushayyi (a nickname for Khalid ibn Al-Walid)! I said, 'O Wushayyi, and I testify to his testimony.' He said, 'Woe to you, tell me how you killed Hamza?' So I told him the same way I told you. He said, 'Woe to you, keep your face hidden from me.' So I avoided him until Allah, the Most High, took him away. When Abu Bakr sent the army to Yamama, I went out with the people, and I made Musaylimah my target. I carried him along with another man from the Ansar, and I had my weapon with me, the one I used to kill Hamza. I threw the spear at him, and the Ansari attacked him as well. Surely, your Lord knows who of us killed him. If I killed him, then I have killed the best of people and the worst of people.

[AI] He informed them that they had accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the farewell Hajj until they reached Usfan, hurrying for Hajj. A man from the tribe of Mudlij called Suraqah bin Malik bin Ju'shum approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, judge for us a ruling of a people as if they were born today." He said, "Indeed, Allah ﷻ has made Hady (sacrificial animal) permissible for you in this Hajj of yours. So whoever circumambulates the Ka'bah and goes to Safa and Marwah, then he has been permitted to do so except for the one who has a Hady with him." When we concluded the Hajj, he said, "Enjoy yourselves with these women." Enjoyment for us means marriage. We presented this to the women, and their response was that they agreed to that only if a period is stipulated between us and them. This was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "Do it." So I went out with my cousin, and I had a blanket with me and he had a blanket with him. His blanket was better than mine and he was older than me. We came to a woman and she liked his blanket and was impressed with my appearance. Then, her condition became that she said, "Give me your blanket." The duration between me and her was ten nights, so I stayed with her for that period. Then I left to the mosque, and I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing between the wall and the door, saying, "O people, I had given you permission to enjoy yourselves with these women. Be aware that Allah ﷻ has prohibited that until the Day of Resurrection. So whoever has anything from them, let him break free from his way, and do not take anything that you have given them."

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُمْ خَرَجُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ حَتَّى نَزَلُوا عُسْفَانَ مُهِلِّينَ بِالْحَجِّ وَقَامَ إِلَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي مُدْلِجٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اقْضِ لَنَا قَضَاءَ قَوْمٍ كَأَنَّمَا وُلِدُوا الْيَوْمَ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَدْ أَدْخَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي حَجَّتِكُمْ هَذِهِ عُمْرَةً فَإِذَا أَنْتُمْ قَدِمْتُمْ فَمَنْ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَقَدْ أَحَلَّ إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ هَدْيٌ» فَلَمَّا أَحْلَلْنَا قَالَ «اسْتَمْتِعُوا مِنْ هَذِهِ النِّسَاءِ» وَالِاسْتِمْتَاعُ عِنْدَنَا التَّزْوِيجُ فَعَرَضْنَا ذَلِكَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ فَأَبَيْنَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَضْرِبْنَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُنَّ أَجَلًا فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «افْعَلُوا» فَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَابْنُ عَمٍّ لِي وَمَعِي بُرْدٌ وَمَعَهُ بُرْدٌ وَبُرْدُهُ أَجْوَدُ مِنْ بُرْدِي وَأَنَا أَشَبُّ مِنْهُ فَأَتَيْنَا امْرَأَةً فَأَعْجَبَهَا بُرْدُهُ وَأَعْجَبَهَا سِمَاتِي ثُمَّ صَارَ شَأْنُهَا أَنْ قَالَتْ هَاتِ بُرْدَكَ وَكَانَ الْأَجَلُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهَا عَشْرًا فَبِتُّ عِنْدَهَا ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتُ فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَائِمٌ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْبَابِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كُنْتُ أَذِنْتُ لَكُمْ فِي الِاسْتِمْتَاعِ مِنْ هَذِهِ النِّسَاءِ أَلَا وَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَدْ حَرَّمَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْءٌ فَلْيُخَلِّ سَبِيلَهَا وَلَا تَأْخُذُوا مِمَّا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ شَيْئًا»

[AI] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Medina on the Farewell Pilgrimage until we reached 'Usfan. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, 'Umrah has entered into the Hajj until the Day of Resurrection." So Suraqah bin Malik said, "O Messenger of Allah, teach us a teaching for a people as if they were born today. Is this 'Umrah of ours for this year only or for all time?" He said, "No, rather for all time." So when we arrived in Mecca, we made Tawaf around the Ka'bah and between Safa and Marwa. Then he ordered us to engage in the pleasure of women, so we returned to him and said, "Indeed, they have unveiled except for a specified term." He said, "So do it." So I and my companion, both wearing cloaks, entered upon a woman and presented ourselves to her. She looked at my companion's cloak and found it better than mine, and she looked at me and found me more handsome than him. She said, "A cloak belongs in its place." And she chose me, so I married her with my cloak. I stayed with her that night, and when morning came, I went to the mosque. And behold, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on the pulpit delivering a sermon, and I heard him saying, "Whoever marries a woman for a specified term, let him give her what he named her and not take back anything from what he gave her. And let him separate from her, for indeed Allah has made it forbidden for you until the Day of Resurrection."

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِعُسْفَانَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الْعُمْرَةَ قَدْ دَخَلَتْ فِي الْحَجِّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ» فَقَالَ لَهُ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلِّمْنَا تَعْلِيمَ قَوْمٍ كَأَنَّمَا وُلِدُوا الْيَوْمَ عُمْرَتُنَا هَذِهِ لِعَامِنَا هَذَا أَمْ لِأَبَدٍ؟ قَالَ «لَا بَلْ لِأَبَدٍ» فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ طُفْنَا بِالْبَيْتِ وَبَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَنَا بِمُتْعَةِ النِّسَاءِ فَرَجَعْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْنَا إِنَّهُنَّ قَدْ أَبْيَنَ إِلَّا إِلَى أَجْلٍ مُسَمًّى قَالَ «فَافْعَلُوا» فَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبٌ لِي عَلَيَّ بُرْدٌ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْدٌ فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ فَعَرَضْنَا عَلَيْهَا أَنْفُسَنَا فَجَعَلَتْ تَنْظُرُ إِلَى بُرْدِ صَاحِبِي فَتَرَاهُ أَجْوَدَ مِنْ بُرْدِي وَتَنْظُرُ إِلَيَّ فَتَرَانِي أَشَبَّ مِنْهُ فَقَالَتْ بُرْدٌ مَكَانَ بُرْدٍ وَاخْتَارَتْنِي فَتَزَوَّجْتُهَا بِبُرْدِي فَبِتُّ مَعَهَا تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ غَدَوْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَخْطُبُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «مَنْ كَانْ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً إِلَى أَجْلٍ فَلْيُعْطِهَا مَا سَمَّى لَهَا وَلَا يَسْتَرْجِعْ مِمَّا أَعْطَاهَا شَيْئًا وَيُفَارِقُهَا فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَدْ حَرَّمَهَا عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ»

[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.

[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.

[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.

[AI] Narrated Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , that when the Prophet ﷺ arrived in Medina, his daughter Zainab, who was still in Mecca, left Mecca with Kinanah or Ibn Kinanah. They left in her footsteps, but Hubbar ibn al-Aswad caught up with her and kept stabbing her camel with his spear until he killed her and she miscarried and bled. The Banu Hashim and the Banu Umayyah argued over who had the right to her body. She was under the custody of their son, Abu Al-As. She was with Hind bint Utbah bin Rabi'ah, and Hind said to her, "This is because of your father." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said to Zaid bin Harithah, "Will you not go and bring Zainab?" He said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Take my ring and give it to her." Zaid went and continued on the way until he met a shepherd, and he asked him, "Whose flock is this?" He replied, "Abu Al-As." He asked, "And whose sheep is this?" He replied, "They belong to Zainab bint Muhammad." The shepherd then went with him for a while and asked, "Do you have anything I can give to her that you don't want anyone else to know about?" Zaid said, "Yes," and gave him the ring. The shepherd then entered his flock and gave her the ring. She asked him, "Who gave you this?" He replied, "A man." She asked, "Where did you leave him?" He replied, "In such and such a place." She remained silent until nightfall and then went to him. When she came to him, he said to her, "Get on before me on my camel." She said, "No, but you get on before me." So he got on before her and she got on behind him until they came. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was saying, "She is the best of my daughters to me, but she has been affected by what has happened to me." Ali bin Husain (Zain al-Abidin) then received the news and he went to Uruwah and said, "What news have you received about me that you speak ill of Fatimah?" Uruwah said, "By Allah, I do not like to have anything between the East and the West, and I still give Fatimah her right. But after that, I will never speak ill of her."

[AI] Halimah bint Abi Dhuayb al-Sa'diyyah, the nursing mother of the Prophet ﷺ , informed me that she said, "We were afflicted with a year of drought in which nothing was left for us. So we set out, a group of women from the tribe of Sa'd ibn Bakr, to seek nursing in Makkah. When we arrived in Makkah, there was not a single woman among us whom the Prophet of Allah ﷺ did not propose to marry. Some accepted and some refused. This was because he had no father and the Arabs used to hope for goodness from their fathers. The women used to say, 'What will I do with him? How can his mother, who is like my mother, dislike him?' So, he was offered to me, and I accepted him. There was not a woman from my people who did not find a nursing infant. When they were about to return to their lands, I feared that I would go back without an infant. So, I said to my husband, 'If I were to take that orphaned boy, it would be better than going back without a nursing infant.' So, I went to his mother and took him from her, and I brought him to my home. I had a son whom I was nursing, and he used to stay awake at night due to hunger and would not sleep. But when I placed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on my bosom, he would suckle from me until he was satisfied. He suckled, and his brother also confirmed this. Then he went to sleep and my husband woke up in the middle of the night to go to Sham (Syria). I feared that they would both starve. So, I said to him, 'Take him to his people before any harm comes to him.' He said, 'O daughter of Wahb! I think that this boy is blessed. Then he informed me of what the fortune teller had told him, so I informed him of what I had seen with my own eyes. We set out on our animals. They used to say that we left nothing that resembled a red camel except that they would complain to it, saying, 'Woe to you! Where are you going, being led by the shepherd of the daughter of Abi Dhuayb?' This continued until there was a day when we were behind our houses in Bani Sa'd. As we were playing, his brother came running to us and said, 'That Quraishi boy has been killed. So we hurried to reach him, me and his father. When we arrived, we found him lying motionless. His father took him from me and said, 'I don't see this boy except that he has been harmed. Take him back to his family before things get worse for us.' I didn't have any inclination to do so, until I took him to his mother in Makkah and I said to her, 'O Zahrah! I have weaned my son and he has been freed from the illness. So, return him to his family.' She said, 'Why are you in such a hurry to get rid of him? Weren't you asking me to leave him with you? It's as if you feared that Satan would harm him. First, let me tell you about me and him. When I gave birth to him, I saw a light emanating from me that illuminated the castles of Busra in Sham.'"

The Prophet ﷺ said, "While three men were walking, It started raining and they took shelter (refuge) in a cave in a mountain. A big rock rolled down from the mountain and closed the mouth of the cave. They said to each other, "Think of good deeds which you did for Allah's sake only, and invoke Allah by giving reference to those deeds so that He may remove this rock from you." One of them said, 'O Allah! I had old parents and small children and I used to graze the sheep for them. On my return to them in the evening, I used to milk (the sheep) and start providing my parents first of all before my children. One day I was delayed and came late at night and found my parents sleeping. I milked (the sheep) as usual and stood by their heads. I hated to wake them up and disliked to give milk to my children before them, although my children were weeping (because of hunger) at my feet till the day dawned. O Allah! If I did this for Your sake only, kindly remove the rock so that we could see the sky through it.' So, Allah removed the rock a little and they saw the sky. The second man said, 'O Allah! I was in love with a cousin of mine like the deepest love a man may have for a woman. I wanted to outrage her chastity but she refused unless I gave her one hundred Dinars. So, I struggled to collect that amount. And when I sat between her legs, she said, 'O Allah's slave! Be afraid of Allah and do not deflower me except rightfully (by marriage).' So, I got up. O Allah! If I did it for Your sake only, please remove the rock.' The rock shifted a little more. Then the third man said, 'O Allah! I employed a laborer for a Faraq of rice and when he finished his job and demanded his right, I presented it to him, but he refused to take it. So, I sowed the rice many time till I gathered cows and their shepherd (from the yield). (Then after some time) He came and said to me, 'Fear Allah (and give me my right)." I said, 'Go and take those cows and the shepherd.' He said, 'Be afraid of Allah! Don't mock at me.' I said, 'I am not mocking at you. Take (all that).' So, he took all that. O Allah! If I did that for Your sake only, please remove the rest of the rock.' So, Allah removed the rock." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2333)

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)

أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فِيمَا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي رَجُلًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِرَسُولِهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ قَالَ فَحُدِّثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَقَالَتِهِمْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ لَمْ يَدْعُ مَعَهُمْ غَيْرَهُمْ فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ فُقَهَاؤُهُمْ أَمَّا ذَوُو رَأْيِنَا فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا نَاسٌ مِنَّا حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالًا حَدِيثِي عَهْدٍ بِكُفْرٍ؛ أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ أَلَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالْأَمْوَالِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّكُمْ سَتَجِدُونَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً شَدِيدَةً؛ فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلَقَوَا اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ إِذًا نَصْبِرُ

[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

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

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

A’ishah wife of the Prophet ﷺ and Umm Salamah said “Abu Hudaifah bin ‘Utbah bin Rabi’ah bin ‘Abd Shams adopted Salim as his son and married him to his niece Hind, daughter of Al Walid bin ‘Utbah bin Rabi’ah. He (Salim) was the freed slave of a woman from the Ansar (the Helpers) as the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ adopted Zaid as his son. In pre Islamic days when anyone adopted a man as his son, the people called him by his name and he was given a share from his inheritance. Allaah, the Exalted, revealed about this matter “Call them by (the name of) their fathers, that is juster in the sight of Allaah. And if ye know not their fathers, then (they are) your brethren in the faith and your clients. They were then called by their names of their fathers. A man, whose father was not known, remained under the protection of someone and considered brother in faith. Sahlah daughter of Suhail bin Amr Al Quraishi then came and said Apostle of Allaah ﷺ, we used to consider Salim(our) son. He dwelled with me and Abu Hudhaifah in the same house, and he saw me in the short clothes, but Allaah the Exalted, has revealed about them what you know, then what is your opinion about him? The Prophet ﷺ said give him your breast feed. She gave him five breast feeds. He then became like her foster son. Hence, A’ishah(may Allaah be pleased with her) used to ask the daughters of her sisters and the daughters of her brethren to give him breast feed five times, whom A’ishah wanted to see and who wanted to visit her. Though he might be of age; he then visited her. But Umm Salamah and all other wives of the Prophet ﷺ refused to allow anyone to visit them on the basis of such breast feeding unless one was given breast feed during infancy. They told A’ishah by Allaah we do not know whether that was a special concession granted by the Prophet ﷺ to Salim exclusive of the people. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2061)

[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] 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)

[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.'"

[AI] Abu Huraira and Zaid ibn Khalid narrated that a man from the Bedouins came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I swear by Allah, except if Allah decides otherwise, then I will definitely be judged according to the Book of Allah." Another man, who was more knowledgeable than him, said, "Yes, judge between us according to the Book of Allah and give me permission." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Say what you have to say." He said, "My son was a shepherd and he committed adultery with his wife. I was informed that stoning was required for my son, so I ransomed him with one hundred sheep and a slave-girl. I asked the people of knowledge and they informed me that my son should be lashed one hundred times and exiled for one year, and that his wife should be stoned." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I will judge between you according to the Book of Allah. The slave-girl and the sheep shall be returned to you, and your son shall be lashed one hundred times and exiled for one year. Go, O Unais, and deal with the matter of this woman, and if she confesses, then stone her." So, the next day she confessed and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that she be stoned.

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ إِلَّا قَضَيْتَ فِيَّ بكِتَابِ اللهِ فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ وَهُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ نَعَمْ فَاقْضِ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ وَأْذَنْ لِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُلْ قَالَ إِنَّ ابْنِي كَانَ عَسِيفًا عَلَى هَذَا فَزَنَى بِامْرَأَتِهِ وَإِنِّي أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّ عَلَى ابْنِي الرَّجْمَ فَافْتَدَيْتُ مِنْهُ بِمِائَةِ شَاةٍ وَوَلِيدَةٍ وَسَأَلْتُ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ فَأَخْبَرُونِي أَنَّ عَلَى ابْنِي جَلْدَ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبَ عَامٍ وَأَنَّ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ الرَّجْمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَأَقْضِيَنَّ بَيْنَكُمَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ الْوَلِيدَةُ وَالْغَنَمُ رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى ابْنِكَ جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ اغْدُ يَا أُنَيْسُ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ هَذَا فَإِنِ اعْتَرَفَتْ فَارْجُمْهَا قَالَ فَغَدَا عَلَيْهَا فَاعْتَرَفَتْ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَرُجِمَتْ

[AI] Abu Huraira, Zaid bin Khalid al-Juhani, and Shibl said, "We were with the Prophet ﷺ when a man came to him and said, 'I adjure you by Allah, do not judge between us except according to the Book of Allah and allow me to speak first.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Say your statement.' The man said, 'My son was a shepherd for this man's wife and he committed adultery with her. I redeemed myself from him by giving him a hundred sheep and a servant. Then I asked some knowledgeable people who informed me that he should be punished with a hundred lashes and one year of exile, and that his wife should be stoned to death.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I will judge between you according to the Book of Allah. The hundred sheep and the servant are to be returned to you, and your son is to be punished with a hundred lashes and one year of exile. And you, O Unays, go and announce that if the wife of this man admits (to the adultery), then stone her.' So Unays went and announced this, and the wife admitted (to the adultery), so he stoned her.' Sufyan and Unays both said, 'Unays was a man who had embraced Islam.'

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ وَشِبْلٍ قَالُوا كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ إِلَّا قَضَيْتَ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ وَأْذَنْ لِي قَالَ قُلْ قَالَ إِنَّ ابْنِي كَانَ عَسِيفًا عَلَى هَذَا فَزَنَى بِامْرَأَتِهِ فَافْتَدَيْتُ مِنْهُ بِمِائَةِ شَاةٍ وَخَادِمٍ ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ رِجَالًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فَأَخْبَرُونِي أَنَّ عَلَيْهِ جَلْدَ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبَ عَامٍ وَأَنَّ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ هَذَا الرَّجْمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَأَقْضِيَنَّ بَيْنَكُمَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ ﷻ الْمِائَةُ شَاةٍ وَالْخَادِمُ رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى ابْنِكَ جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ وَاحِدٍ وَاغْدُ يَا أُنَيْسُ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ هَذَا فَإِنِ اعْتَرَفَتْ فَارْجُمْهَا فَغَدَا عَلَيْهَا فَاعْتَرَفَتْ فَرَجَمَهَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَأُنَيْسٌ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ

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.

[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.'

[AI] Bin al-Walid narrated that they both entered the house of Maymuna with the Prophet Muhammad. A roasted lizard was brought, and the Messenger of Allah inclined towards it with his hand. Some of the women in the house of Maymuna said, "Inform the Messenger of Allah about what he wants to eat." They said, "It is a lizard, O Messenger of Allah." So, the Messenger of Allah raised his hand, and I said, "Is it haram?" He said, "No, but it was not found in my people's land, so I find it repulsive." Khalid said, "So I repeated it and ate it, and the Messenger of Allah observed."

[AI] "Abbas, who was busy, said to him, 'Stay with your parents.' So the man started saying, 'I have vowed to kill myself.' Ibn Abbas said to him, 'What should I do with you? Go and kill yourself.' When Ibn Abbas and the man's parents finished, he said, 'Bring the man to me.' So they went and found him kneeling, ready to kill himself. They brought him to Ibn Abbas, who said, 'Woe to you! You intended to commit three forbidden acts: to enter a forbidden land, to sever the ties of kinship (by killing yourself, as the self is closer to a person than any other relative), and to shed forbidden blood. Do you find it acceptable to have a hundred camels?' He said, 'Yes.' Ibn Abbas said, 'Go, and every year slaughter one-third of those camels, so that the meat does not spoil.' This is the wording of the hadith of Abu Mu'awiyah, and the narration of Ibn Numayr conveys its meaning. Additionally, Kuraib stated that he witnessed this for two years, but he does not know what he did in the third year. This narration is reported by Sufyan al-Thawri from al-A'mash, and he added that al-A'mash heard from Ibn Abbas that if someone were to act upon him in a similar situation, he would command him to slaughter one goat.' May Allah have mercy on the sheikh. There is disagreement among the scholars regarding this matter, as well as regarding someone who vows to kill his son. This indicates that he said it for argumentation and consideration, not because he believed it to be the correct course of action. Allah knows best."

عَبَّاسٍ ؓ مُشْتَغِلٌ يَقُولُ لَهُ أَقِمْ مَعَ أَبَوَيْكَ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَقُولُ إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ أَنْ أَنْحَرَ نَفْسِي فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ مَا أَصْنَعُ بِكَ؟ اذْهَبْ فَانْحَرْ نَفْسَكَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ وَأَبَوَيْهِ قَالَ عَلَيَّ بِالرَّجُلِ فَذَهَبُوا فَوَجَدُوهُ قَدْ بَرَكَ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَنْحَرَ نَفْسَهُ فَجَاءُوا بِهِ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ لَقَدْ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تُحِلَّ ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ أَنْ تُحِلَّ بَلَدًا حَرَامًا وَتَقْطَعَ رَحِمًا حَرَامًا نَفْسَكَ أَقْرَبَ الْأَرْحَامِ إِلَيْكَ وَأَنْ تَسْفِكَ دَمًا حَرَامًا أَتَجِدُ مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ فَانْحَرْ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ ثُلُثًا لَا يَفْسَدُ اللَّحْمُ هَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ وَرِوَايَةُ ابْنِ نُمَيْرٍ بِمَعْنَاهُ وَزَادَ قَالَ كُرَيْبٌ فَشَهِدْتُهُ عَامَيْنِ فَأَمَّا الثَّالِثُ فَلَا أَدْرِي مَا فَعَلَ وَرَوَاهُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ بِمَعْنَاهُ وَزَادَ قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ فَبَلَغَنِي عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَوِ اعْتَلَّ عَلَيَّ لَأَمَرْتُهُ بِكَبْشٍ 20085 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو نَصْرٍ الْعِرَاقِيُّ ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ ثنا سُفْيَانُ فَذَكَرَهُ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ أَنَّهُ أَمَرَ فِي مِثْلِ هَذِهِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ بِكَبْشٍ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ اخْتِلَافُ فَتَاوِيهِ فِي ذَلِكَ وَفِيمَنْ نَذَرَ أَنْ يَنْحَرَ ابْنَهُ يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُهُ اسْتِدْلَالًا وَنَظَرًا لَا أَنَّهُ عَرَفَ فِيهِ تَوقِيفًا وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
