In the state of the Ignorance (before embracing Islam), I used to think that the people were in error and they were not on anything (which may be called the right path) and worshipped the idols. Meanwhile, I heard of a man in Mecca who was giving news (on the basis of his prophetic knowledge) ; so I sat on my ride and went to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was at that time hiding as his people had made life hard for him. I adopted a friendly attitude (towards the Meccans and thus managed) to enter Mecca and go to him (the Holy Prophet) and I said to him: Who are you? He said: I am a Prophet (of Allah). I again said: Who is a Prophet? He said: (I am a Prophet in the sense that) I have been sent by Allah. I said: What is that which you have been sent with? He said: I have been sent to join ties of relationship (with kindness and affection), to break the Idols, and to proclaim the oneness of Allah (in a manner that) nothing is to be associated with Him. I said: Who is with you in this (in these beliefs and practices)? He said: A free man and a slave. He (the narrator) said: Abu Bakr and Bilal were there with him among those who had embraced Islam by that time. I said: I intend to follow you. He said: During these days you would not be able to do so. Don't you see the (hard) condition under which I and (my) people are living? You better go back to your people and when you hear that I have been granted victory, you come to me. So I went to my family. I was in my home when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Medina. I was among my people and used to seek news and ask people when he arrived in Medina. Then a group of people belonging to Yathrib (Medina) came. I said (to them): How is that person getting on who has come to Medina? They said: The people are hastening to him, while his people (the polytheists of Mecca) planned to kill him, but they could not do so. I (on hearing it) came to Medina and went to him and said: Messenger of Allah, do you recognise me? He said: Yes, you are the same man who met me at Mecca. I said: It is so. I again said: Prophet of Allah, tell me that which Allah has taught you and which I do not know, tell me about the prayer. He said: Observe the dawn prayer, then stop praying when the sun is rising till it is fully up, for when it rises it comes up between the horns of Satan, and the unbelievers prostrate themselves to it at that time. Then pray, for the prayer is witnessed and attended (by angels) till the shadow becomes about the length of a lance; then cease prayer, for at that time Hell is heated up. Then when the shadow moves forward, pray, for the prayer is witnessed and attended by angels, till you pray the afternoon prayer, then cease prayer till the sun sets, for it sets between the horns of devil, and at that time the unbelievers prostrate themselves before it. I said: Apostle of Allah, tell me about ablution also. He said: None of you who uses water for ablution and rinses his mouth, snuffs up water and blows it, but the sins of his face, and his mouth and his nostrils fall out. When he washes his face, as Allah has commanded him, the sins of his face fall out from the end of his beard with water. Then (when) he washes his forearms up to the elbows, the sins of his arms fall out along with water from his finger-tips. And when he wipes his head, the sins of his head fall out from the points of his hair along with water. And (when) he washes his feet up to the ankles, the sins of his feet fall out from his toes along with water. And if he stands to pray and praises Allah, lauds Him and glorifies Him with what becomes Him and shows wholehearted devotion to Allah, his sins would depart leaving him (as innocent) as he was on the day his mother bore him. 'Amr b. 'Abasa narrated this hadith to Abu Umama, a Companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Abu Umama said to him: 'Amr b. 'Abasa, think what you are saying that such (a great reward) is given to a man at one place (only in the act of ablution and prayer). Upon this 'Amr said: Abu Umama, I have grown old and my bones have become weak and I am at the door of death; what impetus is there for me to attribute a lie to Allah and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? Had I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ once, twice, or three times (even seven times), I would have never narrated it, but I have heard it from him on occasions more than these.

When it was the day on which the Battle of Badr was fought, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ cast a glance at the infidels, and they were one thousand while his own Companions were three hundred and nineteen. The Prophet ﷺ turned (his face) towards the Qibla. Then he stretched his hands and began his supplication to his Lord: "O Allah, accomplish for me what Thou hast promised to me. O Allah, bring about what Thou hast promised to me. O Allah, if this small band of Muslims is destroyed. Thou will not be worshipped on this earth." He continued his supplication to his Lord, stretching his hands, facing the Qibla, until his mantle slipped down from his shoulders. So Abu Bakr came to him, picked up his mantle and put it on his shoulders. Then he embraced him from behind and said: Prophet of Allah, this prayer of yours to your Lord will suffice you, and He will fulfill for you what He has promised you. So Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, revealed (the Qur'anic verse): "When ye appealed to your Lord for help, He responded to your call (saying): I will help you with one thousand angels coming in succession." So Allah helped him with angels. Abu Zumail said that the hadith was narrated to him by Ibn ʿAbbas who said: While on that day a Muslim was chasing a disbeliever who was going ahead of him, he heard over him the swishing of the whip and the voice of the rider saying: Go ahead, Haizum! He glanced at the polytheist who had (now) fallen down on his back. When he looked at him (carefully he found that) there was a scar on his nose and his face was torn as if it had been lashed with a whip, and had turned green with its poison. An Ansari came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and related this (event) to him. He said: You have told the truth. This was the help from the third heaven. The Muslims that day (i.e. the day of the Battle of Badr) killed seventy persons and captured seventy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Bakr and ʿUmar (Allah be pleased with them): What is your opinion about these captives? Abu Bakr said: They are our kith and kin. I think you should release them after getting from them a ransom. This will be a source of strength to us against the infidels. It is quite possible that Allah may guide them to Islam. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What is your opinion, Ibn Khattab? He said: Messenger of Allah, I do not hold the same opinion as Abu Bakr. I am of the opinion that you should hand them over to us so that we may cut off their heads. Hand over ʿAqil to ʿAli that he may cut off his head, and hand over such and such relative to me that I may cut off his head. They are leaders of the disbelievers and veterans among them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ approved the opinion of Abu Bakr and did not approve what I said. The next day when I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I found that both he and Abu Bakr were sitting shedding tears. I said: Messenger of Allah, why are you and your Companion shedding tears? Tell me the reason. For I will weep, or I will at least pretend to weep in sympathy with you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I weep for what has happened to your companions for taking ransom (from the prisoners). I was shown the torture to which they were subjected. It was brought to me as close as this tree. (He pointed to a tree close to him.) Then God revealed the verse: "It is not befitting for a prophet that he should take prisoners until the force of the disbelievers has been crushed..." to the end of the verse: "so eat ye the spoils of war, (it is) lawful and pure. So Allah made booty lawful for them."

What is the matter with you? We said: Messenger of Allah, you made a mention of the Dajjal in the morning (sometimes describing him) to be insignificant and sometimes very important, until we began to think as if he were present in some (near) part of the cluster of the date-palm trees. Thereupon he ﷺ said: I harbor fear in regard to you in so many other things besides the Dajjal. If he comes forth while I am among you, I shall contend with him on your behalf, but if he comes forth while I am not amongst you, a man must contend on his own behalf and Allah would take care of every Muslim on my behalf (and safeguard him against his evil). He (Dajjal) would be a young man with twisted, contracted hair, and a blind eye. I compare him to ʿAbd-ul-ʿUzza b. Qatan. He who amongst you would survive to see him should recite over him the opening verses of Sura Kahf (xviii). He would appear on the way between Syria and Iraq and would spread mischief right and left. O servant of Allah! adhere (to the path of Truth). We said: Messenger of Allah, how long would he stay on the earth? He ﷺ said: For forty days, one day like a year and one day like a month and one day like a week and the rest of the days would be like your days. We said: Messenger of Allah, would one day's prayer suffice for the prayers of day equal to one year? Thereupon he ﷺ said: No, but you must make an estimate of time (and then observe prayer). We said: Messenger of Allah, how quickly would he walk upon the earth? Thereupon he ﷺ said: Like cloud driven by the wind. He would come to the people and invite them (to a wrong religion) and they would affirm their faith in him and respond to him. He would then give command to the sky and there would be rainfall upon the earth and it would grow crops. Then in the evening, their pasturing animals would come to them with their humps very high and their udders full of milk and their flanks stretched. He would then come to another people and invite them. But they would reject him and he would go away from them and there would be drought for them and nothing would be left with them in the form of wealth. He would then walk through the waste land and say to it: Bring forth your treasures, and the treasures would come out and collect (themselves) before him like the swarm of bees. He would then call a person brimming with youth and strike him with the sword and cut him into two pieces and (make these pieces lie at a distance which is generally) between the archer and his target. He would then call (that young man) and he will come forward laughing with his face gleaming (with happiness) and it would be at this very time that Allah would send Jesus, son of Mary, and he will descend at the white minaret in the eastern side of Damascus wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two Angels. When he would lower his head, there would fall beads of perspiration from his head, and when he would raise it up, beads like pearls would scatter from it. Every non-believer who would smell the odor of his self would die and his breath would reach as far as he would be able to see. He would then search for him (Dajjal) until he would catch hold of him at the gate of Ludd and would kill him. Then a people whom Allah had protected would come to Jesus, son of Mary, and he would wipe their faces and would inform them of their ranks in Paradise and it would be under such conditions that Allah would reveal to Jesus these words: I have brought forth from amongst My servants such people against whom none would be able to fight; you take these people safely to Tur. And then Allah would send Gog and Magog and they would swarm down from every slope. The first of them would pass the lake of Tiberias and drink out of it. And when the last of them would pass, he would say: There was once water there. Jesus and his companions would then be besieged here (at Tur, and they would be so much hard pressed) that the head of the ox would be dearer to them than one hundred dinars and Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would supplicate Allah, Who would send to them insects (which would attack their necks) and in the morning they would perish like one single person. Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would then come down to the earth and they would not find in the earth as much space as a single span which is not filled with their putrefaction and stench. Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would then again beseech Allah, Who would send birds whose necks would be like those of Bactrian camels and they would carry them and throw them where God would will. Then Allah would send rain which no house of clay or (the tent of) camels' hairs would keep out and it would wash away the earth until it could appear to be a mirror. Then the earth would be told to bring forth its fruit and restore its blessing and, as a result thereof, there would grow (such a big) pomegranate that a group of persons would be able to eat that, and seek shelter under its skin and milch cow would give so much milk that a whole party would be able to drink it. And the milch camel would give such (a large quantity of) milk that the whole tribe would be able to drink out of that and the milch sheep would give so much milk that the whole family would be able to drink out of that and at that time Allah would send a pleasant wind which would soothe (people) even under their armpits, and would take the life of every Muslim and only the wicked would survive who would commit adultery like asses and the Last Hour would come to them.

AbdurRahman ibn Ka'b ibn Malik reported on the authority of a man from among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ: The infidels of the Quraysh wrote (a letter) to Ibn Ubayy and to those who worshipped idols from al-Aws and al-Khazraj, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was at that time at Medina before the battle of Badr. (They wrote): You gave protection to our companion. We swear by Allah, you should fight him or expel him, or we shall come to you in full force, until we kill your fighters and appropriate your women. When this (news) reached Abdullah ibn Ubayy and those who were worshippers of idols, with him they gathered together to fight the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When this news reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he visited them and said: The threat of the Quraysh to you has reached its end. They cannot contrive a plot against you, greater than what you yourselves intended to harm you. Are you willing to fight your sons and brethren? When they heard this from the Prophet ﷺ, they scattered. This reached the infidels of the Quraysh. The infidels of the Quraysh again wrote (a letter) to the Jews after the battle of Badr: You are men of weapons and fortresses. You should fight our companion or we shall deal with you in a certain way. And nothing will come between us and the anklets of your women. When their letter reached the Prophet ﷺ, they gathered Banu an-Nadir to violate the treaty. They sent a message to the Prophet ﷺ: Come out to us with thirty men from your companions, and thirty rabbis will come out from us till we meet at a central place where they will hear you. If they testify to you and believe in you, we shall believe in you. The narrator then narrated the whole story. When the next day came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out in the morning with an army, and surrounded them. He told them: I swear by Allah, you will have no peace from me until you conclude a treaty with me. But they refused to conclude a treaty with him. He therefore fought them the same day. Next he attacked Banu Quraysh with an army in the morning, and left Banu an-Nadir. He asked them to sign a treaty and they signed it. He turned away from them and attacked Banu an-Nadir with an army. He fought with them until they agreed to expulsion. Banu an-Nadir were deported, and they took with them whatever their camels could carry, that is, their property, the doors of their houses, and their wood. Palm-trees were exclusively reserved for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Allah bestowed them upon him and gave them him as a special portion. He (Allah), the Exalted, said: What Allah has bestowed on His Apostle (and taken away) from them, for this ye made no expedition with either camel corps or cavalry." He said: "Without fighting." So the Prophet ﷺ gave most of it to the emigrants and divided it among them; and he divided some of it between two men from the helpers, who were needy, and he did not divide it among any of the helpers except those two. The rest of it survived as the sadaqah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ which is in the hands of the descendants of Fatimah (Allah be pleased with her).

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out in the year of al-Hudaibbiyyah with over ten hundreds of Companions and when he came to Dhu al Hulaifah. He garlanded and marked the sacrificial animals, and entered the sacred state of Umrah. He then went on with the tradition. The Prophet moved on and when he came to the mountain, pass by which one descends (to Mecca) to them, his riding-beast knelt down, and the people said twice: Go on, go on, al-Qaswa has become jaded. The Prophet (May peace be upon him) said: She has not become jaded and that is not a characteristic of hers, but He Who restrained the elephant has restrained her. He then said: By Him in Whose hand my soul is, they will not ask any me good thing by which they honor which God has made sacred without my giving them it. He then urged her and she leaped up and he turned aside from them, and stopped at the farthest side of al-Hudaibiyyah at a pool with little water. Meanwhile Budail bin Warqa al-Khuza’I came, and ‘Urwah bin Mas’ud joined him. He began to speak to the Prophet ﷺ. Whenever he spoke to the Prophet ﷺ, he caught his beard. Al Mughriah bin Shu’bah was standing beside the Prophet ﷺ.He had a sword with him, wearing a helmet. He (Al Mughriah) struck his (‘Urwah’s) hand with the lower end of his sheath, and said: Keep away your hand from his beard. ‘Urwah then raised his hand and asked: Who is this? They replied: Al-Mughirah bin Shu’bah. He said: O treacherous one! Did I not use my offices in your treachery? In pre-Islamic days Al-Mughirah bin Shu’bah accompanied some people and murdered them, and took their property. He then came (to the Prophet) and embraced Islam. The Prophet ﷺ said: As for Islam we accepted it, but as to the property, as it has been taken by treachery, we have no need of it. He went on with the tradition the Prophet ﷺ said: Write down: This is what Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, has decided. He then narrated the tradition. Suhail then said: And that a man will not come to you from us, even if he follows your religion, without you sending him back to us. When he finished drawing up the document, the Prophet ﷺ said to his Companions: Get up and sacrifice and then shave. Thereafter some believing women who were immigrants came. (Allah sent down: O yea who believe, when believing women come to you as emigrants). Allah most high forbade them to send them back, but ordered them to restore the dower. He then returned to Medina. Abu Basir a man from the Quraish (who was a Muslim), came to him. And they sent (two men) to look for him; so he handed him over to the two men. They took him away, and when they reached Dhu Al Hulaifah and alighted to eat some dates which they had, Abu Basir said to one of the men : I swear by Allah so-and-so, that I think this sword of yours is a fine one; the other drew the sword and said : Yes I have tried it. Abu Basir said: Let me look at it. He let him have it and he struck him till he died, whereupon the other fled and came to Medina, and running entered the mosque. The Prophet ( may peace be upon him) said: This man has seen something frightful. He said: I swear by Allah that my Companion has been killed, and im as good as dead. Abu Basir then arrived and said: Allah has fulfilled your covenant. You returned me to them, but Allah saved me from them. The Prophet ﷺ said: Woe to his mother, stirrer up of war! Would that he had someone (i.e. some kinsfolk). When he heard that he knew that he would send him back to them, so he went out and came to the seashore. Abu Jandal escaped and joined Abu Basir till a band of them collected.

"I supplicate Allah to bring you and I together in the market of Paradise." So Sa'eed said: "Is there a market in it?" He said: "Yes, the messenger of Allah ﷺ informed me that: 'When the people of Paradise enter it, they shall take their places according to the virtue of their deeds. Then permission shall be granted to them to visit their Lord, for the length of a Friday from the days of the world. He shall present for them His Throne and He shall manifest the gardens of Paradise. Then lofty seats of light shall be erected for them, and lofty saets of pearl, and lofty seats or corundum, and lofty seats of peridots, and lofty seats of gold, and lofty seats of silver. And the lowest of them- and there is none of them that is low- shall sit upon a dune of musk and camphor, and they shall not regard those upon the chairs as having a better sitting place than them.' Abu Hurairah said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, and will we see our Lord?' He ﷺ said: 'Yes.[He said: ] Do you doubt [concerning] seeing the sun, or the moon on a night when it is full?' We said: 'No.' He said: 'Likewise, you will not doubt concerning seeing your Lord. And they shall not remain in that meeting any man except Allah shall give him a lecture until he says to a man from among them: "O so-and – so son of so - and – so, do you remember the day when you said such-and-such.” And He will remind him of some of his betrayals in the world, so he will say: “O my Lord, did you not forgive me?” So He will say: “Indeed! It is by the vastness of My Forgiveness that you reached this station of yours.” So while they are engaged in this they shall be covered by a cloud that shall rain upon them a perfume, the like of whose smell they have not smelled, ever. And our Lord [Blessed and Exalted is He] shall say: “Arise to what I have prepared for you of generosity, and take whatever you desire.” Then, we will come to a market which the angels will have already surrounded. [In it] shall be what no eyes have seen the like of, nor ears have heard of, nor ever has it occurred in the hearts (of men). And there shall be carried to us whatever we desire. There shall be not be anything sold or bought in this market, and, in that market, the people of Paradise shall meet one another.' He said: 'So the person of high rank shall come and meet the one below him in rank- and there is none among them that is low- so he shall be impressed by the clothes he sees on him, their discussion shall not come to an end until he shall imagine upon himself what is more beautiful than it, and that is because it is not fitting for anyone to feel regret therein. Then we will return to our places and our wives shall meet us saying: “Welcome and greetings, you have come, and you have beauty greater than what you parted us with.” So we will say: “Indeed we sat today with our Lord, the Powerful, and it is fitting that we should return with what we have returned with.'” (Da'if)

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned Dajjal, one morning, as something despised but also alarming, until we thought that he was in the stand of date-palm trees. When we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the evening, he saw that (fear) in us, and said: 'What is the matter with you?' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you mentioned Dajjal this morning, and you spoke of him as something despised but also alarming, until we thought that he was in the stand of date-palm trees.' He said: 'There are things that I fear more for you than the Dajjal. If he appears while I am among you, I will contend with him on your behalf, and if he appears when I am not among you, then each man must fend for himself, and Allah will take care of every Muslim on my behalf. He (Dajjal) will be a young man with curly hair and a protuberant eye; I liken him to 'Abdul-'Uzza bin Qatan. Whoever among you sees him, let him recite the first Verses of Surat Al-Kahf over him. He will emerge from Khallah, between Sham and Iraq, and will wreak havoc right and left. O slaves of Allah, remain steadfast.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how long will he stay on earth?' He said: 'Forty days, one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of his days like your days.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, on that day which is like a year, will the prayers of one day suffice us?' He said: 'Make an estimate of time (and then observe prayer).' We said: 'How fast will he move through the earth?' He said: 'Like a rain cloud driving by the wind.' He said: 'He will come to some people and call them, and they will respond and believe in him. Then he will command the sky to rain and it will rain, and he will command the earth to produce vegetation and it will do so, and their flocks will come back in the evening with their humps taller, their udders fuller and their flanks fatter than they have ever been. Then he will come to some (other) people and call them, and they will reject him, so he will turn away from them and they will suffer drought and be left with nothing. Then he will pass through the wasteland and will say: "Bring forth your treasures," then go away, and its treasures will follow him like a swarm of bees. Then he will call a man brimming with youth and will strike him with a sword and cut him in two. He will put the two pieces as far apart as the distance between an archer and his target. Then he will call him and he will come with his face shining, laughing. While they are like that, Allah will send 'Eisa bin Maryam, who will come down at the white minaret in the east of Damascus, wearing two Mahrud[garment dyed with Wars and then Saffron], resting his hands on the wings of two angels. When he lowers his head, beads of perspiration will fall from it. Every disbeliever who smells the fragrance of his breath will die, and his breath will reach as far as his eye can see. Then he will set out and catch up with him (the Dajjal) at the gate of Ludd, and will kill him. Then the Prophet of Allah 'Eisa will come to some people whom Allah has protected, and he will wipe their faces and tell them of their status in Paradise. While they are like that, Allah will reveal to him: "O 'Eisa, I have brought forth some of My slaves whom no one will be able to kill, so take My slaves to Tur in safety." Then Gog and Magog will emerge and they will, as Allah describes, "swoop down from every mound."[21:96] The first of them will pass by lake Tiberias and drink from it, then the last of them will pass by it and will say: "There was water here once." The Prophet of Allah, 'Eisa and his companions will be besieged there until the head of an ox would be dearer to any one of them than one hundred Dinar are to any one of you today. Then, the Prophet of Allah, 'Eisa and his companions will supplicate Allah. Then Allah will send a worm in their necks and the next morning they will all die as one. The Prophet of Allah 'Eisa and his companions will come down and they will not find even the space of a hand span that is free of their stink, stench and blood. They will pray to Allah, and He will send birds with necks like the necks of Bactrian camels, which will pick them up and throw them wherever Allah wills. Then Allah will send rain which will not leave any house of clay or hair, and it will wash the earth until it leaves it like a mirror (or a smooth rock). Then it will be said to the earth: "Bring forth your fruits and bring back your blessing." On that day a group of people will eat from a (single) pomegranate and it will suffice them, and they will seek shelter beneath its skin. Allah will bless a milch- camel so that it will be sufficient for a large number of people, and a milch-cow will be sufficient for a whole tribe and a milch-ewe will be sufficient for a whole clan. While they are like that, Allah will send a pleasant wind which will seize them beneath their armpits and will take the soul of every Muslim, leaving the rest of the people fornicating like donkeys, and upon them will come the Hour.'"

“I supplicate Allah to bring you and I together in the marketplace of Paradise,” Sa’eed said: “Is there a marketplace there?” He said: “Yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told me that when the people of Paradise enter it, they will take their places according to their deeds, and they will be given permission for a length of time equivalent to Friday on earth, when they will visit Allah. His Throne will be shown to them and He will appear to them in one of the gardens of Paradise. Chairs of light and chairs of pearls and chairs of rubies and chairs of chrysolite and chairs of gold and chairs of silver will be placed for them. Those who are of a lower status than them, and none of them will be regarded as insignificant, will sit on sandhills of musk and camphor, and they will not feel that those who are sitting on chairs are seated better than them.” Abu Hurairah said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord?’ He said: ‘Yes. Do you dispute that you see the sun and the moon on the night when it is full?’ We said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Likewise, you will not dispute that you see your Lord, the Glorified. There will be no one left in that gathering with whom Allah does not speak face to face, until He will say to a man among you: “Do you not remember, O so-and-so, the day you did such and such?” And He will remind him of some of his sins in this world. He will say: “O Lord, have You not forgiven me?” He will say: “Yes, it is by the vastness of My forgiveness that You have reached the position you are in.” While they are like that, a cloud will cover them from above and will rain down on them perfume the like of whose fragrance they have never smelled before. Then He will say: “Get up and go to the honor that has been prepared for you, and take whatever you desire.” So we will go to a marketplace surrounded by the angels, in which there will be such things as eyes have never seen, ears have never heard and it has not entered the heart of man. Whatever we desire will be carried for us. Nothing will be bought or sold therein. In that marketplace the people of Paradise will meet one another. A man of elevated status will meet those who are of lower status than him, but none shall be regarded as insignificant, and he will be dazzled by the clothes that he sees on him. He will not finish the last of his conversation before better clothes appear on him. That is because no one should be sad there.’” “He said: ‘Then we will go back to our homes where we will be met by our wives, and they will say: ‘Welcome. You have come looking more handsome and with a better fragrance than when you left us.’ And we will say: ‘Today we sat with our Lord, the Compeller, the Glorified, and we deserve to come back as we have come back.’”

On the day of Badr, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at his companions and they were three hundred and some, then he looked at the mushrikeen and saw that they were one thousand or more. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ turned to face the qiblah, then he stretched forth his hands, wearing his upper and lower garment, and he said: “O Allah, where is Your promise to me? O Allah, accomplish for me what You have promised me! O Allah, if this small band of Muslims is destroyed, You will never be worshipped on earth.” He kept beseeching his Lord, calling out to Him, until his upper garment fell from his shoulders. Abu Bakr came to him, picked up his upper garment and put it on him. Then he embraced him from behind and said: O Prophet of Allah, this prayer of yours to your Lord will suffice, for He will accomplish for you what He has promised to you. Then Allah revealed the words: ʿ(Remember) when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying): ‘I will help you with a thousand of the angels each behind the other (following one another) in successionʿ [al Anfal 8:9). On that day when the armies met (in battle), Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, defeated the mushrikeen; seventy of their men were killed and seventy were taken captive. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ consulted Abu Bakr, 'Ali and 'Umar ؓ م (concerning the prisoners). Abu Bakr said: O Prophet of Allah, they are our cousins, kinsmen and brothers, I think that you should accept a ransom for them, which will strengthen us against the kuffar, and perhaps Allah will guide them to Islam and they will become a support to us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “What do you think, O son of al-Khattab?ʿ I said: No, by Allah. I do not think as Abu Bakr thinks. I think that you should hand. So and so ­ a relative of ʼUmar's- ­ over to me so that I may strike his neck. You should hand ‘Aqeel over to ‘Ali so that he may strike his neck, and you should hand over So and so to Hamzah (his brother) so that he may strike his neck, so that Allah will know that we have no mercy in our hearts towards the mushrikeen; these are their prominent figures and leaders. But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ inclined towards the view of Abu Bakr, and he did not incline towards what I said, and accepted ransoms from them. The next day, I came to the Prophet ﷺ and found him with Abu Bakr, and they were both weeping I said: O Messenger of Allah , tell me why you and your companion are weeping. If I find it is a cause for weeping, I will weep too, and is it is not, then I will make myself weep with you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿI am weeping because of what your companions suggested about accepting a ransom for the prisoners. I have been shown your punishment as close as this treeʿ ­ a tree that was close to the Prophet of Allah ﷺ Then Allah revealed the words:ʿIt is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allah desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allah is Almighty, All Wise. Were it not a previous ordainment from Allah, a severe torment would have touched you for what you took ʿ[al Anfal 8:67­-68] ­ i.e., referring to the ransom. Then booty was permitted to them, and when the day of Uhud came the following year, they were punished for what they had done of taking the ransom on the day of Badr. Seventy of them were killed and the Companions of the Prophet deserted him, his front tooth was broken and the helmet on his head was broken, and blood flowed down his face, and Allah revealed the words: “When a single disaster smites you, although you smote (your enemies) with one twice as great, you say: 'From where does this come to us?ʿSay (to them), ‘It is from yourselves (because of your evil deeds).'

On the day of Badr, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at his companions and they were three hundred and some, then he looked at the mushrikeen and saw that they were one thousand or more. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ turned to face the qiblah, then he stretched forth his hands, wearing his upper and lower garment, and he said: “O Allah, where is Your promise to me? O Allah, accomplish for me what You have promised me! O Allah, if this small band of Muslims is destroyed, You will never be worshiped on earth.” He kept beseeching his Lord, calling out to Him, until his upper garment fell from his shoulders. Abu Bakr came to him, picked up his upper garment and put it back on him. Then he embraced him from behind and said, “O Prophet of Allah, this prayer of yours to your Lord will suffice, for He will accomplish for you what He has promised to you.” Then Allah revealed the words: “(Remember) when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying): ‘I will help you with a thousand of the angels each behind the other (following one another) in succession’” (al-Anfal 8:9). On that day when the armies met (in battle), Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, caused the mushrikeen to be defeated, seventy of their men were killed and seventy were taken captive. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ consulted Abu Bakr, ‘Ali and ʼUmar (concerning the prisoners). Abu Bakr said, “O Prophet of Allah, they are our cousins, kinsmen and brothers. I think that you should accept a ransom for them, which will strengthen us against the kuffar, and perhaps Allah will guide them to Islam and they will become a support to us.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “What do you think, O son of al-Khattab?” I said: No, by Allah. I do not think as Abu Bakr thinks. I think that you should hand so and so—a relative of ‘Umar's—to me so that I may strike his neck, You should hand ‘Aqeel over to ‘Ali so that he may strike his neck, and you should hand over so and so to Hamzah (his brother) so that he may strike his neck, so that Allah will know that we have no mercy in our hearts towards the mushrikeen; these are their prominent figures and leaders. But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ inclined towards the view of Abu Bakr, and he did not incline towards what I said, and accepted ransoms from them. The next day. I came to the Prophet ﷺ and found him with Abu Bakr, and they were both weeping. I said, “O Messenger of Allah, tell me why you and your companion are weeping. If I find it is a cause for weeping. I will weep too, and if it is not, then I will make myself weep with you.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “I am weeping because of what your companions suggested about accepting a ransom for the prisoners. I have been shown your punishment as close as this tree”—a tree that was close to the Prophet of Allah ﷺ. Then Allah revealed the words: “It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allah desires (for you) the Hereafter, And Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. Were it not a previous ordainment from Allah, a severe torment would have touched you for what you took.” [al-Anfal 8:67-68] i.e., referring to the ransom. Then booty was permitted to them, and when the day of Uhud came the following year, they were punished for what they had done for taking the ransom on the day of Badr. Seventy of them were killed and the Companions of the Prophet deserted him; his front tooth was broken and the helmet on his head was broken, and blood flowed down his face, and Allah revealed the words: “When a single disaster smites you, although you smote (your enemies) with one twice as great, you say: ‘From where does this come to us?’ Say (to them), ‘It is from yourselves (because of your evil deeds).’ And Allah has power over all things” [Al ‘Imran 3:165]

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

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

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

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

[Machine] A foundling came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ along with his companion, who was called Nuhayk ibn 'Asim ibn Malik ibn al-Muntafiq. The foundling said, "I left with my companion until we reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in order to denounce al-Nasila during Rajab. We arrived to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and met him when he finished his morning prayer. Then, he stood up among the people as a speaker, and said, 'O people, behold, I have hidden my voice from you for four days! I assure you that I will make you hear it. Is there anyone among you who has been sent by his people?' They replied, 'We know what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ says. Perhaps he is occupied with his own speech, or the speech of his companion, or perhaps he is occupied by the devils.' I said, 'I am here to fulfill your request. I have something to say to you.' Then, the people sat down, and I and my companion remained standing until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was finished with us. Then, he laughed and shook his head, indicating that he knew I was seeking information about my lineage. He said, 'Your Lord has five keys to the unseen which only He knows. He gestured with his hand and I said, 'What are they?' He said, 'The knowledge of the hour of death, He knows when the semen forms in the womb, and when it will be placed in the womb. He knows what will happen tomorrow. He knows whether or not you will eat tomorrow, and knows when the rain will fall. He endows the afflicted ones of His subjects to seek refuge from Him in hope, fear, and sadness.' Then he continued laughing, showing that he knew his close ones were nearby. The foundling said, 'I said, 'We will never be deprived of someone who laughs well.' Then he added, 'And He knows the Day of Judgment!' I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, teach me what you teach the people, and what you know that we don't know. We are from a region where nobody believes us.' He replied, 'You will live for as long as you have lived thus far, then your Prophet will come to you and you will live again. After that, you will be revived and witness the Resurrection, and then it will be sent forth, the shout of horror by the god (Allah), on whose back nothing exists but death, whether it is a killer carrying something or a tight clay coffin, until the grave splits open from the head of the prophet and his sat down and said, 'Your Lord wanders around the earth while the towns stood on its edge.' Then He sent out His Lord, the Sky, so they appeared magnificent, but it is as if He imagined on His back prevention murder or a grave of death, only the grave is separated from the head until it becomes equal in size and then, he would sit down. I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, how will He gather us after we have been dispersed by the winds, disasters, and wild animals?' He asked, 'Do you want me to tell you something similar? When Allah's Earth appears as a crushed grape, you will say, "Never, eternal life!", but then Allah will send His sky over you, and you will not live long after that until Allah's sky appears to you as one gulp, and I swear by Allah, your God is more capable of gathering you from water than gathering the plants of the Earth and bringing you out of the

[Machine] He heard some delegation from the tribe of Abdul-Qais saying, "We have come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he was very pleased with our arrival. When we finished meeting with the people, they made way for us and we sat down. The Prophet ﷺ greeted us and prayed for us. Then he looked at us and said, 'Who is your leader and your chief?' So we pointed to Mujdhir ibn A'idhah. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Is this the one with the scar?' And this was the first day on which he was given this name by being struck on the face with the hoof of a camel. We said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' Then some of the people missed us and their belongings were delayed. So their riding animals and provisions were gathered and their defect was removed. The Prophet ﷺ took off their travel clothes and they wore their good clothes. Then he turned to the Prophet ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ extended his leg and supported himself. When Mujdhir approached him, the people made room for him and said, 'Here, O Mujdhir.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Sit here, O Mujdhir,' and he sat on the right side of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ greeted him and treated him kindly, and he asked him about his land and named a village for him, Safa and Mushaqar, and other villages of migration. Then he said, 'By my father and mother, O Messenger of Allah, you are better acquainted with the names of our villages than us.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Indeed, I have traversed your lands and it was extensive for me.' He said, 'Then he turned to the Ansar and said, 'O people of the Ansar, honor your brothers, for they are similar to you in Islam. The most similar thing to you is a poet. They embraced Islam willingly, not by force or compulsion. When a people refused to embrace Islam, they were killed.' He said, 'When they became the next day, he said, 'How did you find the hospitality of your brothers and their welcoming of you?' They said, 'The best of brothers are the ones who are generous, they made their homes available to us, they provided us with the best food, they slept and woke us up, and they taught us the Book of our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, and the Sunnah of our Prophet ﷺ.' The Prophet ﷺ was pleased and happy with this, and then he approached us one by one, and each of us presented what we had learned and taught. Some of us knew the greetings, the mother of the Book, and the Surah, the two Surahs, and the Sunnah. Then he approached us with his face and said, 'Do you have anything of your provisions with you?' The people were happy with this and began to present their provisions. Each of them brought handfuls of dates and put them on a piece of

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

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

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

[Machine] The people said, "O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you have any difficulty seeing the sun when there are no clouds covering it?" They replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." He then asked, "Do you have any difficulty seeing the moon on a full moon night when there are no clouds covering it?" They again replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Just like that, you will see Him on the Day of Resurrection. Allah will gather the people and ask those who worshipped something, 'Follow what you worshipped.' So those who worshipped the moon will follow the moon, those who worshipped the sun will follow the sun, and those who worshipped the idols will follow the idols. And this Ummah will be left with its hypocrites. Allah will come to them in a form that they do not recognize, and He will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'We seek refuge with Allah from you. This is our place until our Lord comes to us.' When our Lord comes to them, they will recognize Him. Then Allah will come to them in the form that they recognize, and He will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord,' and they will follow Him."

The Prophet ﷺ said, "A bridge will be set up over Hellfire." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I will be the first one to cross it on that day. O Allah, grant us safety, grant us safety.' This bridge will have hooks like the thorns of the Sa'dan tree. Have you seen the Sa'dan tree?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Indeed, it is like the thorns of the Sa'dan tree, but its size and greatness are known only to Allah. People will be snatched away by their deeds. Among them will be those who are caught by their foreheads with the deeds they used to do, and there will be those who are caught by their backsides. They will be saved until when Allah is finished passing judgment among His servants and He wants to bring out of the Fire those who will be entitled to His mercy from among those who themselves said, 'Laa ilaha illallah (There is no God worthy of worship except Allah).' Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) will order the angels, 'Bring out those who used to utter La ilaha illAllah. And the angels will know them by the marks of prostration on their faces and by the traces of wudu' (ablution) on their limbs. Allah has forbidden the Fire to consume the traces of prostrations or ablution.'" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Thus, they will be brought out, having been burned and turned to charcoal. Then the water of life will be poured over them and they will grow just like seeds do in the silt carried by floodwaters. There will be a man who will be facing the Fire and will say, 'O Lord, haven't You promised me that You would not wron [...]

[Machine] On the authority of Al-Zuhri regarding the statement of Allah (ﷻ), "{Every nation will be called to its book}" [Surah Al-Jathiyah: 28], on the authority of 'Ata ibn Yazid Al-Laythi, on the authority of Abu Hurayrah who said, the people said, "O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He (the Prophet ﷺ) said, "Do you have any difficulty looking at the sun when there are no clouds in the sky?" They said, "No, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you have any difficulty looking at the moon on the night of a full moon when there are no clouds covering it?" They said, "No, O Messenger of Allah." 'Abdul Razzaq once asked, "Do you have any difficulty looking at the moon on the night of a full moon when there are no clouds covering it?" They said, "No, O Messenger of Allah." He (the Prophet ﷺ) said, "You will see your Lord on the Day of Resurrection just as you have no difficulty looking at the sun or the moon." Allah will gather the people and say, "Whoever used to worship something, let them follow it." So those who used to worship the moon will follow the moon, those who used to worship the sun will follow the sun, and those who used to worship the false deities will follow the false deities. Then only the hypocrites will remain. Allah (ﷻ) will come to them in a form that they do not recognize and say, "I am your Lord." They will say, "We seek refuge with Allah from you. This is our station until our Lord comes to us." When our Lord comes to them, they will recognize Him. Allah (ﷻ) will come to them in a form that they recognize and say, "I am your Lord." They will say, "You are our Lord." Then they will follow Him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "A bridge will be set up over Hellfire." The Prophet ﷺ said that he will be the first to cross the bridge and the matter of the messengers will be settled that day. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Allah, grant peace, peace." He described it as being like the thorns of the flower of Sa'dan. He asked, "Have you seen the thorns of the flower of Sa'dan?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "It is like the thorns of the flower of Sa'dan, except that no one knows its exact size except Allah. It will seize the people according to their deeds. Yet some will be saved, such as the wicked who will be thrown into it and those who will be saved. When Allah (ﷻ) finishes judging between people and intends to bring out those who He wants to have mercy upon from the fire

[Machine] We accompanied the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , to a funeral. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , sat on the grave and we gathered around him as if birds were perched on top of our heads. He then recited "I seek refuge with Allah from the punishment of the grave" three times. He continued, "Verily, when a believer is in the state of approaching the Hereafter and leaving this worldly life, the angels descend upon them with their faces shining like the sun. Each angel has a shroud and burial cloth in their hands, and they sit around the person as far as the eye can see. When the soul leaves the body, every angel between the heavens and the earth and every angel in the heavens pray for him. The doors of the heavens are opened, and every gatekeeper calls upon Allah to elevate the soul through their gate. When the soul is elevated, they say, 'Oh Lord, this is so-and-so, Your servant.' Allah replies, 'Return him for I have promised him that I have created them from it (the earth), and unto it they shall return, and from it I shall resurrect them once again.' Then, he hears the footsteps of his companions as they depart from him. An angel comes and asks, 'Who is your Lord? What is your religion? Who is your prophet?' He replies, 'My Lord is Allah, my religion is Islam, and my prophet is Muhammad, ﷺ .' The angel then says, 'You have spoken the truth.' Then, a beautiful-faced angel with a pleasant fragrance and splendid clothing comes to him and says, 'Rejoice in a great honor from Allah and an everlasting bliss.' The angel asks him, 'Who are you?' He replies, 'I am your righteous deeds. By Allah, you were hasty in obeying Allah and slow in disobeying Him, so may Allah reward you with good.' Then, a door from Paradise and a door from Hell are opened for him. It is said to him, 'This is your place if you had disobeyed Allah, but Allah has replaced it with this (Paradise).' When he sees what is in Paradise, he says, 'My Lord, establish the Hour so that I may return to my family and possessions.' He is told to rest. As for a disbeliever, when they are in the state of approaching the Hereafter and leaving this worldly life, harsh and severe angels descend upon them and snatch their soul in the same way a wet woolen garment is snatched away. Their soul is pulled out along with their veins, and every angel between the heavens and the earth and every angel in the heavens curse them. The doors of the heavens are closed, and every gatekeeper calls upon Allah not to allow their soul to ascend through their gate. When the soul is elevated, they ask, 'Who is your Lord? What is your religion? Who is your prophet?' The person replies, 'I do not know.' The angel then says, 'You did not know, nor did you recite.' An ugly-faced angel with a foul smell and filthy clothing comes to them and says, 'Rejoice in humiliation from Allah and a perpetual punishment.' The angel asks, 'Who are you?' The person replies, 'I am your evil deeds. By Allah, you were slow in obeying Allah and hasty in disobeying Him, so may Allah reward you with evil.' Then, their eyes, ears, and mouth are sealed shut, and they are given a club made of iron. If a mountain were to be struck with it, it would turn to dust. The person is then hit with this club until they become like dust. Then, Allah restores them to their original state and the person is hit again, which results in a scream that is heard by all beings except for the two heavyweights (the heavens and earth). This is narrated by Al-Bara' bin 'Azib. Then, a door of Hell is opened for them, and bedding is made from the flames of Hell.

[Machine] I said to Ibn Abbas, "Indeed, Nawfal al-Shami claims or says that Musa was not the companion of Khidr. Musa, the son of Bani Israel said, 'Nawfal is lying, the enemy of Allah.' Ubayy ibn Ka'b narrated to me from the Prophet ﷺ that Musa stood among the Bani Israel to deliver a sermon. They asked him, 'Who is the most knowledgeable among the people?' He said, 'I am.' So Allah inspired him, 'I have a slave who is more knowledgeable than you.' He said, 'My Lord, show him to me.' It was said, 'Take a fish and put it in a basket, then wherever you lose it, it will be there.' So he took a fish and put it in a basket, and he and his companion walked along the shore until they reached a rock. Musa laid down and fell asleep while the fish started moving in the basket until it fell into the sea. Allah made the water flow back, and the fish came back to life and moved along with its companion on the shore until they came to the rock. They found a man covered with a garment and Musa greeted him, saying, 'Do you have any food? We are in need of it, for our journey has exhausted us.' The man replied, 'Indeed, we have encountered hardship on our journey.' The calamity was not removed from them until they passed by the thing that Allah commanded them. Musa exclaimed, 'Did you forget when we took refuge at the rock and I forgot about the fish? None other than Satan made me forget it.' They continued on their way, until when they reached the people of a town, they sought food from its inhabitants, but they refused to show them hospitality. Then they saw a wall about to collapse, and Khidr stood it up. Sufyan demonstrated it with his hands, raising them up like this. Then he placed his palms on top of each other, raising them up. Musa said, 'If you wished, you could have taken payment for it.' Khidr replied, 'This is the parting between me and you.'" Ibn Abbas said, "The first forgetfulness was unintentional." The Prophet ﷺ said, "May Allah have mercy on Musa. If he had been patient and continued to learn from him, we would have seen more wonders from him."

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , it is narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one day and performed the prayer of migration, then he sat down. The people became startled, so he said, "Sit down, O people, for I did not rise from my place due to fear. Rather, Tamim Ad-Dari came to me and informed me of news that prevented me from experiencing joy and comfort. I wanted to share with you the joy of your Prophet. He informed me that a group from his cousins, the Banu 'Amir, had embarked on the sea, and they were struck by a violent wind. The wind brought them to an island they did not recognize. They sat in their boat until they arrived at the island. Then, they found a creature with a lot of hair that they were unsure if it was a man or a woman. They greeted it, and it returned their greeting. They said, 'Will you not inform us?' It said, 'I do not inform you, nor do I seek information from you. But in this monastery, there is someone who longingly awaits to inform you and seek information from you.' They said, 'Who are you?' It said, 'I am Al-Jassasah.' So, they set off until they reached the monastery. There, they found a man chained up, heavily bound, showing signs of great sadness and complaining a lot. They greeted him, and he returned their greetings. They asked him, 'Who are you?' He said, 'I am from the Arabs.' They asked, 'What have the Arabs done?' He said, 'Has their Prophet come forth after me?' They said, 'Yes.' He asked, 'What have they done?' They said, 'They have believed in him and affirmed him.' He said, 'That is good for them.' He had an enemy, and Allah exposed him to them. They asked, 'Are the Arabs today with one God, one religion, and one word?' They said, 'Yes.' He asked, 'What has happened to the spring of Zughar?' They said, 'The people drink from it, and their crops are irrigated by it.' He asked, 'What has happened to the date palm tree between 'Ammān and Bayt al-Maqdis?' They said, 'It produces fruit every year.' He asked, 'What has happened to the lake of Tabariyyah?' They said, 'It is full.' He sighed deeply, then sighed deeply again, then sighed deeply a third time. He swore, 'By the One in Whose Hands is the Life of Muhammad, it is as though if I were to leave my place right now, I would not leave behind any land belonging to Allah, except that I would tread upon it, except for Taibah. There is no authority for me over it.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'So, thus my joy reaches its peak. Surely, Allah has made Mecca and Medina sacred, and forbidden for the Dajjal to enter. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ swore, 'By the One besides whom there is no deity, there is no path, narrow or wide, in the east which is not guarded by an appointed angel with a drawn sword until the Day of Resurrection. The Dajjal will not be able to enter upon its inhabitants.' 'Amir commented, 'So, I met Al-Muharrir ibn Abi Hurayrah, and I narrated this Hadith to him. He said, 'I bear witness by my father that he narrated to me as you have narrated from Fatimah bint Qays.' However, he said, 'The two sanctuaries are sacred: Makkah and Medina.'

They greeted the creature with salaam, and the creature replied with salaam. They said, 'Can you inform us?' The creature replied, 'I am not here to inform you or ask for information. However, this monastery became a hardship for you. Inside, there is someone who has been yearning to tell you and ask you about their fate. They said, 'Who are you?' She said, 'I am the spy.' So they went until they reached the monastery. There they found a man who was severely bound, showing a lot of sadness and complaining. They greeted him, and he replied, asking, 'Who are you?' They said, 'We are from the Arabs.' He said, 'What have the Arabs done? Did their Prophet emerge?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'What did they do?' They said, 'They believed in him and affirmed his truthfulness.' He said, 'That is better for them.' He had an enemy, and Allah made him manifest to them. He said, 'So are the Arabs today united in their religion and their word?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'So what did the spring of Zughar do?' They said, 'It is wholesome. Its people drink from it, and their crops are irrigated by it.' He said, 'So what did the palm tree between 'Amman and Bayt Al-Maqdis do?' They said, 'Good. Its vegetation feeds its camels every year.' He said, 'So what did the Lake of Tiberias do?' They said, 'Full.' He said, 'So it sighed, and sighed, and sighed, and then he swore by Allah who there is none worthy of worship except Him, 'By Allah, there is no narrow road or wide road in the flat or mountain except that there is an angel holding a drawn sword until the Day of Resurrection, preventing Ad-Dajjal from entering it.' He said, 'Then I met Al-Muharrar bin Abi Hurayrah, and I informed him of the Hadith of Fatimah bint Qays. He testified to what I testified, except that he said, 'I bear witness that 'Aishah also narrated to me like she narrated to you, Fatimah.' Except that she said, 'The two sanctuaries are sacred: Makkah and Al-Madinah.'"

Once we were traveling with the Prophet ﷺ and we carried on traveling till the last part of the night and then we (halted at a place) and slept (deeply). There is nothing sweeter than sleep for a traveler in the last part of the night. So it was only the heat of the sun that made us to wake up and the first to wake up was so and so, then so and so and then so and so (the narrator ʿAuf said that Abu Raja' had told him their names but he had forgotten them) and the fourth person to wake up was ʿUmar bin Al- Khattab. And whenever the Prophet ﷺ used to sleep, nobody would wake up him till he himself used to get up as we did not know what was happening (being revealed) to him in his sleep. So, ʿUmar got up and saw the condition of the people, and he was a strict man, so he said, "Allahu Akbar" and raised his voice with Takbir, and kept on saying loudly till the Prophet ﷺ got up because of it. When he got up, the people informed him about what had happened to them. He said, "There is no harm (or it will not be harmful). Depart!" So they departed from that place, and after covering some distance the Prophet ﷺ stopped and asked for some water to perform the ablution. So he performed the ablution and the call for the prayer was pronounced and he led the people in prayer. After he finished from the prayer, he saw a man sitting aloof who had not prayed with the people. He asked, "O so and so! What has prevented you from praying with us?" He replied, "I am Junub and there is no water. " The Prophet ﷺ said, "Perform Tayammum with (clean) earth and that is sufficient for you." Then the Prophet ﷺ proceeded on and the people complained to him of thirst. Thereupon he got down and called a person (the narrator ʿAuf added that Abu Raja' had named him but he had forgotten) and ʿAli, and ordered them to go and bring water. So they went in search of water and met a woman who was sitting on her camel between two bags of water. They asked, "Where can we find water?" She replied, "I was there (at the place of water) this hour yesterday and my people are behind me." They requested her to accompany them. She asked, "Where?" They said, "To Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." She said, "Do you mean the man who is called the Sabi, (with a new religion)?" They replied, "Yes, the same person. So come along." They brought her to the Prophet ﷺ and narrated the whole story. He said, "Help her to dismount." The Prophet ﷺ asked for a pot, then he opened the mouths of the bags and poured some water into the pot. Then he closed the big openings of the bags and opened the small ones and the people were called upon to drink and water their animals. So they all watered their animals and they (too) all quenched their thirst and also gave water to others and last of all the Prophet ﷺ gave a pot full of water to the person who was Junub and told him to pour it over his body. The woman was standing and watching all that which they were doing with her water. By Allah, when her water bags were returned the looked like as if they were more full (of water) than they had been before (Miracle of Messenger of Allah ﷺ) Then the Prophet ﷺ ordered us to collect something for her; so dates, flour and Sawiq were collected which amounted to a good meal that was put in a piece of cloth. She was helped to ride on her camel and that cloth full of foodstuff was also placed in front of her and then the Prophet ﷺ said to her, "We have not taken your water but Allah has given water to us." She returned home late. Her relatives asked her: "O so and so what has delayed you?" She said, "A strange thing! Two men met me and took me to the man who is called the Sabi' and he did such and such a thing. By Allah, he is either the greatest magician between this and this (gesturing with her index and middle fingers raising them towards the sky indicating the heaven and the earth) or he is Allah's true Apostle." Afterwards the Muslims used to attack the pagans around her abode but never touched her village. One day she said to her people, "I think that these people leave you purposely. Have you got any inclination to Islam?" They obeyed her and all of them embraced Islam. Abu ʿAbdullah said: The word Saba'a means "The one who has deserted his old religion and embraced a new religion." Abul 'Ailya [??] said, "The SʿAbis are a sect of people of the Scripture who recite the Book of Psalms." (Using translation from Bukhārī 344)

[Machine] Afterwards, indeed, Allah created the creation, not in need of their obedience, secure from their disobedience. And the people on that day are in different situations and opinions. The Arabs inhabit those residences, the people of Hajr, the people of Wabar, and the people of Dabar. They pass by them with the goodness of this world and the abundance of their livelihoods. They do not ask Allah as a group nor do they recite His dead book. Their dead are in the fire, and their lives are blind and impure, along with countless desired and forbidden things. So when Allah intended to spread His mercy upon them, He sent to them a messenger from among themselves, noble and caring, eager for the believers. Allah's blessings, peace, mercy, and blessings be upon him. This did not stop them from harming him in his body and labeling him with names. With him was a book from Allah, speaking, that is not established except by His command and is not eliminated except with His permission. So when he was commanded to be firm and was burdened with jihad, he accepted the command of Allah. His argument was cleared, his words were approved, his call was proclaimed, and he left this world pious and pure, following the path of his companion. Then Abu Bakr succeeded him, and he followed his example and followed his path. And the Arabs or those who did that from among them returned to their previous state, except for those who refused to accept them after the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. He would not accept from them except the one who was reconcilable. He drew out his swords from their scabbards, and set fire to their kindling. Then he defeated the people of truth, the people of falsehood, but he did not sever their limbs or shed their blood until he entered them into that from which they had separated and solidified them in that from which they had departed. He had previously received a portion of Allah's wealth and used it to quench his thirst. And an Ethiopian woman who breastfed a child for him. He felt a pang in his throat when he saw that before he passed away. He attributed it to his successor and left this world pious and pure, following the path of his two companions. Then, O Umar bin Al-Khattab, you are the son of this world. Its kings nurtured you and fed you. It grew you up and you sought its benefits. But when you became its ruler, you abandoned it and left it in ruins, except for what you provide from it. So praise be to Allah who showed us your deception and relieved our distress through you. So go forth and do not turn back, for surely nothing can exalt the truth, nor humiliate falsehood. I speak these words and seek forgiveness from Allah for myself and for the believing men and believing women. Abu Ayyub said, "Umar bin Abdul Aziz would say about something, Ibn Al-Ahtam said to me, 'Go forth and do not turn back.'"

[Machine] That Ibrahim, when he migrated to the land of Sham and they expelled him from there, he departed and with him was Sarah. She said to him, "Indeed, I have gifted myself to you." Then Allah inspired to him to marry her, and it was the first revelation that was sent to him, and Lot believed in it, as did his people in his lineage. He said, "Indeed, I am migrating to my Lord. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise." So they expelled him from Babylonia to the sacred land until he reached Harran, and they expelled him from there until they brought him to the Jordan River, which contained a strong giant among the giants, but Allah destroyed him. Then Ibrahim returned to Sham, and with him was Lot. Allah informed Lot and sent him as a messenger and a caller to Allah in the cities known as the "mou'tafaqat", with Sodom being the greatest among them, followed by Amoud, Aram, Sa'our, and Sabour. The people of these cities numbered four thousand thousand men. Lot stayed in Sodom for twenty-five years, commanding them, forbidding them, and inviting them to Allah and to worship Him, and he left what they were engaged in of immorality and abominations. It was obligatory on Lot to offer hospitality to his guests, just as it was obligatory on Ibrahim and Ismael. But his people did not host anyone, rather, they only approached the men from the worlds and called the women. Allah denounced them for this through the tongue of their Prophet in the Quran, saying, "Do you approach men among the worlds and leave what your Lord has created for you as wives?" Then Wahb and Abdullah bin Abbas mentioned that which led them to have relations with men without women. They had gardens and fruits in their homes, as well as gardens and fruits on the outskirts of the road. Then they were afflicted with severe drought and hunger. So some of them said to others, "If you refrain from giving away your fruits to the travelers, you will have provisions for yourselves." They asked how they could do that, so some of them suggested to abduct any stranger they found in their land and marry him, claiming him as their own. They would take him and grab him. Thus, whenever people came upon them, they did this to them. This became their practice until Iblis went to those mountains in the form of a beautiful and radiant young boy. The people saw him and admired him, so they adored him, married him, took him, and grabbed him. Then he left. People would not come to them except that they would do the same to them. This became their practice until Allah sent Lot to them, forbidding them from doing this and warning them of punishment. They sought his forgiveness, and he said, "O my people, you have committed the obscenity that no one in the worlds has committed before you." Then the rest of the narration continues as narrated by Ibn Abbas, but it was not mentioned by Al-Dhahabi in his summary.

[Machine] "And about some of the companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, it is narrated: When the angels came out from Ibrahim, peace be upon him, towards the city of Lut and reached the river of Sodom, they met the daughter of Lut, who was fetching water for her family. Lut's daughters were two in number. They said to her, 'O girl, is there any house nearby? She replied, 'Yes, your place is not far, but do not enter until I bring you what you need.' Then she went to her father and said, 'O my father, there are young men standing at the gate of the city. I have never seen such beautiful faces before. Your people should not see them, as they may harm them. Your people have been forbidden from hosting anyone until they said, 'Give us your guests so that we can harass them.' Nobody here, except the household of Lut, knows where they are. His wife went out and informed her people, saying, 'Indeed, there are men inside Lut's house whose faces I have never seen before.' So, Lut's people hurried towards him. When they came to him, he said, 'O my people, fear Allah and do not disgrace me concerning my guests. Is there not among you a single reasonable man? These are my daughters, they are purer for you. So, fear Allah and do not humiliate me in front of my guests.' They said, 'You know that we have no right in your daughters, and indeed, you know what we want.' When they failed to persuade him, he said, 'If only I had power against you or could take refuge in a strong support.' Then Jibril extended his wings, covering the sight of their eyes, and they went out stumbling, unable to see one another. They were saying, 'This is their plan. Verily, in the house of Lut, there is magic.' This is the saying of Allah, the Almighty, 'And indeed, they sought to tempt him away from his guests, but We blinded their eyes.' And they said, 'O Lut, indeed, we are messengers of your Lord. They will never reach you, so travel with your family in the cover of the night, and let not any among you look back except your wife. Indeed, she will be struck by what strikes them. So, proceed as you are commanded.' Then Allah led them to safety towards the land of Shaam. Lut said, 'Destroying them will take only a moment.' They replied, 'We have not been commanded to destroy them except at the break of dawn. Is not the morning near?' When morning came, Lut and his family left, except for his wife. This is the saying of Allah, the Almighty, 'Except the family of Lut; We will save them all, except his wife, who will be among those who remain.'

[Machine] From his father Hisham ibn Hubaysh ibn Khuwaylid, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left Makkah as an emigrant to Madinah, and Abu Bakr and the slave of Abu Bakr, 'Amir ibn Fuhayrah, and their guide, Laysiyyu 'Abdullah ibn Urayqit, passed by the tent of Umm Ma'bad Al-Khuzaiyyah. She was a widow who lived in a dilapidated tent, and she would milk and feed the people, but when they asked her for meat and dates to buy from her, they found nothing with her. And the people were stingy and miserly. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a sheep in the corner of the tent and asked, "What is this sheep, O Umm Ma'bad?" She said, "It is a sheep that has been left behind by the flock." He asked, "Does it produce any milk?" She said, "It is weaker than that." He said, "May I milk it?

[Machine] Abu Jahl confronted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at As-Safa. He insulted him and said things that were detestable to his religion and demeaning towards him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not respond to him. Abdullah bin Judda'an At-Taymi's wife witnessed this incident from her house, which was located above As-Safa. Afterward, Abu Jahl went to the gathering of the Quraysh at the Kaaba and sat with them. Hamza bin Abdul-Muttalib, with his bow on his shoulder, returned from hunting and normally when he returned in this manner, he would not pass by the gathering of the Quraysh without expressing his strength. On this day, he was still a pagan. The lady who witnessed the incident approached him and informed him about what had transpired between Abu Jahl and Muhammad, and how Abu Jahl had insulted and abused him. Then, she told him that Muhammad had not responded to him. Thus, Hamza became angry for the sake of the honor of Allah's Messenger ﷺ . He hurried, looking for Abu Jahl, in order to avenge the harm that had befallen Allah's Messenger ﷺ . When he entered the Masjid, he saw Abu Jahl sitting among people and went towards him. When he reached Abu Jahl, he drew his bow with all his strength and struck Abu Jahl's head with the bow, causing a severe wound. Men from Quraysh's Banu Makhzum tribe stood to support Abu Jahl, but they did not find Hamza, as he rushed out of the Masjid. He did not stop to speak to anyone as he normally did. He went straight towards the Kaaba to perform Tawaf (circumambulation) while giving Abu Jahl the opportunity to take revenge, had he wanted to.

He went straight towards the Kaaba to perform Tawaf (circumambulation) while giving Abu Jahl the opportunity to take revenge, had he wanted to. But Abu Jahl restrained himself, not retaliating for the harm he had received. He did not think that Hamza's action was the cause of his forgiveness, but rather his intention was to fulfill the command of Allah. After this incident, Hamza entered his house, and Satan came to him saying, "You are the chief of the Quraysh! You have followed this new religion and abandoned the religion of your ancestors. Death is better for you than what you have done." Hamza was affected by this whisper. He went to Hamza with a doubt in his heart, unsure of the way out of the situation he found himself in. He went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the next morning and said, "O my nephew! I find myself in a situation and I do not know how to find a way out. I have placed myself in a situation where I cannot retreat or advance. Tell me, is it right for me to continue in the path I have chosen, or should I choose another path?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ advised him, reminded him, admonished him, and gave him glad tidings. As a result, faith entered Hamza's heart, as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said. Hamza then said, "I bear witness that you are truthful in your testimony, the one who confirms truth and identifies falsehood. Show me, O my nephew, the path to follow, and by Allah, there is nothing I would love more than to have a reputation that would outshine the sun. And I am now embracing my original religion." So it was, that Hamza was one of those whom Allah honored and helped through the religion.

[Machine] What we have is better for them, so they agreed until they carried Jabalah and Asma and left Zaid. Then a group of horses from Tihamah, from the Banu Fazara, attacked Tayyi and captured Zaid, and they took him to the market of Ukaz. The Prophet ﷺ saw him before he was sent and said to Khadijah, "O Khadijah, I saw a boy in the market with qualities like Kit and Kait; he has intelligence, good manners, and beauty. If I had wealth, I would buy him." So Khadijah commanded Waraqah bin Nawfal to buy him from her wealth. She said, "O Muhammad, give me this boy as a gift from yourself." The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Khadijah, I only want to adopt him." She agreed, and she raised and adopted him. He was called Zaid bin Muhammad. Then a man from the tribe of Hayy saw Zaid and recognized him, and he said, "Are you Zaid bin Harithah?" Zaid said, "No, I am Zaid bin Muhammad." The man said, "No, you are Zaid bin Harithah, from the lineage of your father and your uncles, Kit and Kait. They have exhausted themselves and spent their wealth for your sake." Then Zaid recited a poem expressing his love for his people. Harithah wept and did not know what to do, whether Zaid was still alive or not. Oh, by Allah, I do not know, but I ask, O Sahl, is the plain easier for you or the mountain? Oh, I wish I knew if you would return to me one day. My sorrow for you is so long, and I wonder, will you ever come back to me? I will strive and never tire of walking the mountains, and I will not tire of making tawaf or the camels. Perhaps death will visit me before you do. Every soul will taste death, so may Allah bless me with a good family and a prosperous offspring. Harithah came to him when he was with his brothers and family in Makkah. He went to the Prophet ﷺ and found him sitting in the courtyard of the Kaaba with a group of his companions, including Zaid bin Harithah. When they saw Zaid, they recognized him, and he recognized them. However, they did not rise in reverence for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They said, "O Zaid!" But he did not respond. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Who are these, O Zaid?" He replied, "O Messenger of Allah, this is my father, my uncle, my brother, and these are my relatives." The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Go and greet them, O Zaid." So Zaid stood and greeted them, and they greeted him. Then they said to him, "Come with us, O Zaid." He replied, "I only desire the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; I do not desire anyone else in return." They said, "O Muhammad, we will give you this boy as compensation, so name your price." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I ask you to bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that I am the final Prophet and Messenger, and that you accept Islam. They agreed and accepted Islam. Then they said, "What

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned Dajjal, one morning, as something despised but also alarming, until we thought that he was in the stand of date-palm trees. When we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the evening, he saw that (fear) in us, and said: 'What is the matter with you?' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you mentioned Dajjal this morning, and you spoke of him as something despised but also alarming, until we thought that he was in the stand of date-palm trees.' He said: 'There are things that I fear more for you than the Dajjal. If he appears while I am among you, I will contend with him on your behalf, and if he appears when I am not among you, then each man must fend for himself, and Allah will take care of every Muslim on my behalf. He (Dajjal) will be a young man with curly hair and a protuberant eye; I liken him to 'Abdul-'Uzza bin Qatan. Whoever among you sees him, let him recite the first Verses of Surat Al-Kahf over him. He will emerge from Khallah, between Sham and Iraq, and will wreak havoc right and left. O slaves of Allah, remain steadfast.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how long will he stay on earth?' He said: 'Forty days, one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of his days like your days.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, on that day which is like a year, will the prayers of one day suffice us?' He said: 'Make an estimate of time (and then observe prayer).' We said: 'How fast will he move through the earth?' He said: 'Like a rain cloud driving by the wind.' He said: 'He will come to some people and call them, and they will respond and believe in him. Then he will command the sky to rain and it will rain, and he will command the earth to produce vegetation and it will do so, and their flocks will come back in the evening with their humps taller, their udders fuller and their flanks fatter than they have ever been. Then he will come to some (other) people and call them, and they will reject him, so he will turn away from them and they will suffer drought and be left with nothing. Then he will pass through the wasteland and will say: "Bring forth your treasures," then go away, and its treasures will follow him like a swarm of bees. Then he will call a man brimming with youth and will strike him with a sword and cut him in two. He will put the two pieces as far apart as the distance between an archer and his target. Then he will call him and he will come with his face shining, laughing. While they are like that, Allah will send 'Eisa bin Maryam, who will come down at the white minaret in the east of Damascus, wearing two Mahrud[garment dyed with Wars and then Saffron], resting his hands on the wings of two angels. When he lowers his head, beads of perspiration will fall from it. Every disbeliever who smells the fragrance of his breath will die, and his breath will reach as far as his eye can see. Then he will set out and catch up with him (the Dajjal) at the gate of Ludd, and will kill him. Then the Prophet of Allah 'Eisa will come to some people whom Allah has protected, and he will wipe their faces and tell them of their status in Paradise. While they are like that, Allah will reveal to him: "O 'Eisa, I have brought forth some of My slaves whom no one will be able to kill, so take My slaves to Tur in safety." Then Gog and Magog will emerge and they will, as Allah describes, "swoop down from every mound."[21:96] The first of them will pass by lake Tiberias and drink from it, then the last of them will pass by it and will say: "There was water here once." The Prophet of Allah, 'Eisa and his companions will be besieged there until the head of an ox would be dearer to any one of them than one hundred Dinar are to any one of you today. Then, the Prophet of Allah, 'Eisa and his companions will supplicate Allah. Then Allah will send a worm in their necks and the next morning they will all die as one. The Prophet of Allah 'Eisa and his companions will come down and they will not find even the space of a hand span that is free of their stink, stench and blood. They will pray to Allah, and He will send birds with necks like the necks of Bactrian camels, which will pick them up and throw them wherever Allah wills. Then Allah will send rain which will not leave any house of clay or hair, and it will wash the earth until it leaves it like a mirror (or a smooth rock). Then it will be said to the earth: "Bring forth your fruits and bring back your blessing." On that day a group of people will eat from a (single) pomegranate and it will suffice them, and they will seek shelter beneath its skin. Allah will bless a milch- camel so that it will be sufficient for a large number of people, and a milch-cow will be sufficient for a whole tribe and a milch-ewe will be sufficient for a whole clan. While they are like that, Allah will send a pleasant wind which will seize them beneath their armpits and will take the soul of every Muslim, leaving the rest of the people fornicating like donkeys, and upon them will come the Hour.'"

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

[Machine] Abu Al-Tahir and Abu Al-Rabi' Al-Masri narrated to me that Abdullah ibn Wahb informed them that Abdur Rahman ibn Shuraih narrated from Rabi'ah ibn Saif Al Ma'afiri, who heard it from Ishaq ibn Abdullah, that Awf ibn Malik Al-Ashja'i visited the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم during a victorious battle. He greeted the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and said, "Congratulations, O Messenger of Allah. Allah has honored your victory, made your religion manifest, and caused the burden of war to be lifted with ease." The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم was in a dome made of adobe bricks, and he said, "Enter, O Awf." Awf asked, "Shall I enter wholly or partially?" The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Enter wholly." Awf said, "Indeed, the burdens of war will not be lifted until there come six events, the first of which will be my death." Awf wept, and the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Say 'one' and [then] 'two.' The first is the conquest of Jerusalem, the second is a trial that will occur among the people, like the scattering of sheep. The fourth is a trial that will occur among the people, where no household will remain except that their share of it will come to them. The fifth is the birth of a boy from the offspring of the kings who will grow rapidly, reaching maturity in a day like how an infant grows in a week, and how an infant grows in a month, and how an infant grows in a year. When he turns twelve, they will make him their king. He will stand among them and say, 'For how long will these people continue to oppress us and invade our lands?' I have resolved to go forth and drive them out from our lands." The preachers then stood up and expressed their agreement with him. He then sent to Algeria and the desert to construct ships, and he filled them with fighters until he arrived between Antioch and Al Arish. Ibn Shuraih said, "I heard someone say that there will be twelve goals under each goal there will be twelve thousand, and the Muslims will unite and gather with their leader in Jerusalem. They agreed to march to the city of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم while carrying their weapons in Sarih and Khaybar. Ibn Abi Ja'far said that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, 'They will drive my Ummah out of the boundaries of Sham.' Or Al-Harith ibn Yazid said, 'They will settle there, and then one third of them will flee, one third of them will be killed, and Allah Almighty will make the remaining one third victorious through their patience.' Khalid ibn Yazid said, 'On that day, he will strike with his sword, and he will pierce them with his spear, and the Muslims will follow him until they reach the Strait of Constantinople. They will find it dry, so they will cross over to the city. Allah will demolish their walls through the takbir, and they will enter it and distribute their wealth through the ammaded chests.' Abu Qabil Al-Ma'afiri said, 'As they were doing that, a rider came to them and said, "You are here, but the Dajjal has already deceived your families." This was, in fact, falsehood. Whoever heard the scholars concerning this matter took the right path, but others scattered. Meanwhile, the Muslims started building mosques in Constantinople and continued fighting until the Dajjal emerged for the sixth time.

الْحَيَاةِ فَيَنْبُتُونَ فِيهِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ كَمَا تَنْبُتُ الْحِبَّةُ فِي حَمِيلِ السَّيْلِ أَلَمْ تَرَوْهَا وَمَا يَلِيهَا مِنَ الظِّلِّ أَصْفَرُ وَمَا يَلِيهَا مِنَ الشَّمْسِ أَخْضَرُ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَأَنَّكَ تَكُونُ فِي الْمَاشِيَةِ قَالَ يَنْبُتُونَ كَذَلِكَ فَيَخْرُجُونَ أَمْثَالَ اللُّؤْلُؤِ يُجْعَلُ فِي رِقَابِهِمُ الْخَوَاتِيمُ ثُمَّ يُرْسَلُونَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَيَقُولُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ هَؤُلَاءِ الْجَهَنَّمِيُّونَ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَلٍ عَمِلُوهُ وَلَا خَيْرٍ قَدَّمُوهُ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى خُذُوا فَلَكُمْ مَا أَخَذْتُمْ فَيَأْخُذُونَ حَتَّى يَنْتَهُوا ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ لَنْ يُعْطِيَنَا اللَّهُ ﷻ مَا أَخَذْنَا فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فَإِنِّي أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ أَفْضَلَ مِمَّا أَخَذْتُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا وَمَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَمِمَّا أَخَذْنَا؟ فَيَقُولُ رِضْوَانِي بِلَا سَخَطٍ  

[Machine] "He, Ali, O Amr, you had made a pact with Allah on behalf of Quraysh that no man should invite another man except for one of the two shall be accepted. And so, Amr said, 'Yes.' Then Ali said to him, 'Verily, I invite you to Allah, the Almighty, and to His Messenger ﷺ and to Islam.' Amr replied, 'I have no need for that.' Ali then said, 'Indeed, I invite you to combat.' Amr said, 'O my nephew, why?' Ali replied, 'By Allah, I do not wish to kill you, but I wish for you to kill me.' So Amr became furious and charged at Ali with his horse, but Ali struck the horse and killed it. Amr then approached Ali and said, 'Who will duel with me?' Ali stood up, with his face covered in armor, and said, 'I am the one, O Prophet of Allah.' The Prophet ﷺ allowed him and Ali went towards him saying, 'Do not rush, for there has come to you an answer. Your voice is not weak, and you are knowledgeable and perceptive. And truth is the salvation for every victor. I do hope to avenge upon you a blow that would remain remembered. Amr asked, 'Who are you?' Ali replied, 'I am Ali.' Amr asked, 'The son of whom?' Ali said, 'I am Ali ibn Abi Talib.' Amr then said, 'You have with you, O my nephew, some of your maternal uncles who are better than you. Leave and I do not wish to shed your blood.' Ali replied, 'By Allah, I do not mind shedding your blood.' So Amr became angry, dismounted from his horse, and drew his sword as if it were a flaming torch. He approached Ali in anger, while Ali faced him with his shield. Amr struck at Ali's shield but it fell and remained stuck with his sword. He struck at Ali's head, cutting through it, and Ali struck him on the neck, causing him to fall down. The infidels then made a commotion and the Prophet ﷺ heard the takbeer (Allahu Akbar) and knew that Ali had killed him. Ali then said, 'I am certain that the cavalry will attack in the same manner as I and they will delay my companions today. I am determined and vigilant in my resolve, with no other comrade but Ibn Abd. When I approached him, I swore and summoned them to listen to my recitation from the Book. I am indeed truthful, for I affirm those who exclaim righteousness, two men who strike all opponents. I have with me, a stick between branches, an uncomplaining trunk, tainted by his thoughtlessness. And I worship the Lord of Muhammad, with correctness. Ali then turned towards the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a beaming face. Umar ibn Khattab said to him, 'Why don't you take his armor? For there is no better armor for the Arabs than that.' Ali replied, 'I struck him, fearing him and being shy of my cousin, to take his armor. I left his horses defeated until they were thrown into the trench.'

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

[Machine] "A man said, 'O Commander of the faithful, do you know this passerby?' He replied, 'No, so who is he?' He said, 'He is Suwad ibn Qarib, a man from the people of Yemen who possesses honor and high status among them. He is the one who received a dream about the appearance of the Prophet ﷺ. When Umar heard this, he became angry and said, 'Are you Suwad ibn Qarib?' He answered, 'Yes.' Umar said, 'So you are the one to whom your dream showed the appearance of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He replied, 'Yes.' Umar said, 'Then you are in the same state of soothsaying as you were before, and he became extremely angry and said, 'O Commander of the faithful, no one has ever treated me this way since I became a Muslim!' Umar said, 'By Allah, we were in a worse state of polytheism than you were in soothsaying. Inform me about your dream showing the appearance of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' He said, 'Yes, O Commander of the faithful, one night I was between being asleep and awake when a dream came to me. Someone struck me with their foot and said, "Arise, O Suwad ibn Qarib, and understand, if you are capable of understanding. Verily, the Messenger of Allah has been sent by Lu'ay ibn Ghalib, inviting people to Allah and His worship." Then he recited a poem which means, 'I am amazed by the jinn and their eavesdropping and their hard-heartedness. They quickly descended to Makkah seeking guidance. How excellent are the believing jinn, like you, compared to its disbelieving ones. So, leave for Safwa, which is a part of Hashim, and it is the name from your eyes to your head.' He said, 'I did not raise my head, but I said, 'Leave me to sleep, for I am tired.' When the second night arrived, the same thing happened. He said, 'Did I not tell you, O Suwad ibn Qarib, to arise and understand, if you are capable of understanding? Verily, the Messenger of Allah has been sent by Lu’ay ibn Ghalib, inviting people to Allah and His worship.' Then he recited a poem which means, 'I am amazed by the jinn and their news, and their hard-heartedness. They quickly descended to Makkah seeking guidance. How excellent are the believing jinn, like you, compared to its disbelieving ones. So, leave for Safwa, which is a part of Hashim, in its highlands and its barriers.' He said, 'I did not raise my head. When the third night arrived, the same thing happened. He said, 'Did I not tell you, O Suwad ibn Qarib, to arise and understand, if you are capable of understanding? Verily, the Messenger of Allah has been sent by Lu’ay ibn Ghalib, inviting people to Allah and His worship

[Machine] Sumurah, while I was a young boy from the Ansar, we were throwing objects for ourselves during the time of the Prophet ﷺ. When the sun reached the height of two or three lances above the horizon, it became darkened and shone like a firefly. One of us said to his companion, "Let's go to the mosque, and I swear by Allah that this matter of the sun will be mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in his Ummah." So we went to the mosque, and we found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing among the people. He came forward and led us in prayer, the longest prayer he ever prayed with us, in which we could not even hear his voice. Then he performed ruku (bowing) with us, the longest ruku he ever performed with us, in which we could not hear his voice. Then he performed sujud (prostration) with us, the longest sujud he ever performed with us, in which we could not hear his voice. Then he did the same in the second raka'ah, and when the sun reappeared during the second raka'ah, he sat down. Then he said, "O people, indeed I am only a human being and the Messenger of Allah. But I remind you of Allah, if you know that I have not conveyed any of the messages of my Lord, which you informed me of, until I convey them as they should be conveyed. And if you know that I have conveyed the messages of my Lord, which you informed me of." Then the people stood up and said, "We bear witness that you have conveyed the messages of your Lord and advised your Ummah, and you have fulfilled what is upon you." Then they fell silent, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for what follows, there are men who claim that the eclipse of this sun, the eclipse of this moon, and the disappearance of these stars from their stations cause the death of great men from the people of the earth. Indeed, they are liars, but they are signs from the signs of Allah by which He tests His servants. Let the one among them who will repent come forward." By Allah, since I started praying, I have not met any of you in your current worldly and hereafter conditions. And by Allah, the Hour will not be established until thirty liars will appear, the last of them being the lame Dajjal. He will have a deformed eye like the eye of Abi Yahya, a sheikh from the Ansar. And when he appears, he will claim that he is Allah. Whoever believes in him, verifies his claim, and follows him, then none of his past deeds will benefit him. And whoever denies him and rejects him, then none of his past deeds will harm him. Indeed, he will appear on the entire earth except for the Haram and Bayt al-Maqdis. And indeed, he will besiege the believers in Bayt al-Maqdis, and they will shake violently. Then Jesus, the son of Mary, will descend among them, and Allah will defeat him and his soldiers, to the extent that the black stone will call out, "O believer! This is a disbeliever hiding behind me, so come and kill him." He said, "But that will not happen until you see matters becoming widespread and severe. You will ask each other, 'Did your Prophet ﷺ mention anything about this?' And until mountains move from their places and continue to move until the seizing (of souls) comes. He pointed with his hand, and he said, "Then he delivered another sermon, in which he mentioned what he mentioned before and did not delay it or precede it."

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

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

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

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

Abu Bakr bought a saddle from ‘Azib for thirteen dirhams, then Abu Bakr said to 'Azib. Tell al-Bara to carry it to my house. He said: No, not until you tell us what happened when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and you were with him. Abu Bakr said: We started our journey at the beginning of the night and we hastened for one day and one night, until it was midday. I looked into the distance to see whether there was anywhere to seek shade, and I saw a rock, so I went to it and it had a little shade. I smoothed the ground for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and spread a garment of camel hair for him, and said: Lie down and rest, O Messenger of Allah. So he lay down, and I went out to see if I could spot anyone looking for us. Then I saw a shepherd and I said: Who do you belong to, O boy? He said: To a man of Quraish. He mentioned his name and I recognised it. I said: Is there any milk in your sheep? He said: Yes | said: Will you milk some for me? He said: Yes. I told him to do that, so he caught a sheep, then I told him to brush the dust from its teat, then to brush the dust off his hands. I had a small vessel with me on the neck of which was a cloth. He milked a little bit of milk for me and I poured it into the vessel until it cooled down. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When I reached him, he had already woken up. I said: Drink, O Messenger of Allah. He drank until I was pleased, then I said: Is it time to move on? So we moved on and the people were coming after us but none of them caught up with us except Suraqah bin Malik bin Ju'shum, who was riding a horse of his, I said: O Messenger of Allah, someone has caught up with us. He said: ʿDo not be afraid, for Allah is with us.ʿ When he got close to us, and there was no more between us and him then the length of a spear or two or three spears, I said: O Messenger of Allah, this pursuer has caught up with us, and I wept. He said: ʿWhy are you weeping?ʿ I said: I am not weeping for myself; rather I am weeping for you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed against him [the pursuer] and said: “O Allah, protect us from him by whatever means You will.” Then his horse's legs sank into the solid ground up to its belly, and he fell off it. He said: O Muhammad, I know that this is because of you; pray to Allah to save me from my predicament, and by Allah I shall divert away from you any one who is behind me of those who are seeking you. Here is my quiver, take one arrow. You are going to pass by some camels and sheep of mine in such and such a place, take whatever you need from thern. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿI have no need of it.“ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for him and he was released, and he went back to his companions. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I continued on our way until we came to Madinah, where the people met him. They came out on the road and on the roofs, and a lot of servants and children crowded the road saying: Allahu Akbar, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has come, Muhammad has come. The people disputed as to who he would stay with. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿTonight I will stay with Banun-Najjar, the maternal uncles of 'Abdul-Muttalib, to honour them thereby.” The next morning, he went where he was instructed. Al-Bara' bin 'Azib said: The first of the Muhajireen to come to us was Mus'ab bin 'Umair, the brother of Banu 'Abdud-Dar. Then Ibn Umm Maktoom, the blind man and brother of Banu Fihr, came to us. Then 'Umar bin al-Khattab, came to us with twenty riders and we said: What happened to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: He is behind me. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and Abu Bakr was with him. Al-Bara said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not come until I had read some soorahs from al-Mufassal [Al-Mufassal is that portion of the Qur'an which goes from Qaf to an-Nas]. Isra'eel said: al-Bara' was one of the Ansar from Banu Harithah. (Using translation from Aḥmad 3)

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ fought the people of Khaybar until they sought refuge in their fortress. He conquered the land, farms, and palm trees. He made a peace agreement with them that they would be expelled from Khaybar and they could take whatever their riding animals carried. The Prophet ﷺ received the yellow and white ones (treasures) and they would leave from it. He stipulated that they should not hide or conceal anything, and if they did, they would not be granted safety or protection. They hid a bag containing wealth and jewelry belonging to Huwayy ibn Akhtab. He brought it with him to Khaybar and when the spoils were divided, the Prophet ﷺ asked Umm Hani's husband, Huwayy, "What did you do with the bag that came from Na'dir?" He replied, "Expenses and wars depleted it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "The treaty is near and the wealth is more than that." So the Prophet ﷺ gave it to Zubayr ibn al-'Awwam and he struck him with punishment. Huwayy had previously entered a ruin and said, "I saw Huwayy going around a ruin here." So they went and circled around and found the bag in a ruin. The Prophet ﷺ killed the sons of Abu Hakim, one of whom was the husband of Safiyyah bint Huwayy ibn Akhtab, and he captured their women and children. He distributed their wealth according to the treaty they violated. He intended to expel them from Khaybar, but they said, "O Muhammad, let us be in this land to rehabilitate and develop it." The Prophet ﷺ and his companions did not have slaves to work on it, so they were unable to commit themselves to rehabilitate it. Therefore, he granted them Khaybar with the condition that they would have half of the produce of every crop, palm tree, and everything that appears to the Prophet ﷺ.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَاتَلَ أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ حَتَّى أَلْجَأَهُمْ إِلَى قَصْرِهِمْ فَغَلَبَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَالزَّرْعِ وَالنَّخْلِ فَصَالَحُوهُ عَلَى أَنْ يُجْلَوْا مِنْهَا وَلَهُمْ مَا حَمَلَتْ رِكَابُهُمْ وَلِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الصَّفْرَاءُ وَالْبَيْضَاءُ وَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهَا فَاشْتَرَطَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ لَا يَكْتُمُوا وَلَا يُغَيِّبُوا شَيْئًا فَإِنْ فَعَلُوا فَلَا ذِمَّةَ لَهُمْ وَلَا عِصْمَةَ فَغَيَّبُوا مَسْكًا فِيهِ مَالٌ وَحُلِيٌّ لِحُيَيِّ بْنِ أَخْطَبَ كَانَ احْتَمَلَهُ مَعَهُ إِلَى خَيْبَرَ حِينَ أُجْلِيَتِ النَّضِيرُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِعَمِّ حُيَيٍّ «مَا فَعَلَ مَسْكُ حُيَيٍّ الَّذِي جَاءَ بِهِ مِنَ النَّضِيرِ؟ » فَقَالَ أَذْهَبَتْهُ النَّفَقَاتُ وَالْحُرُوبُ فَقَالَ ﷺ «الْعَهْدُ قَرِيبٌ وَالْمَالُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ» فَدَفَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ فَمَسَّهُ بِعَذَابٍ وَقَدْ كَانَ حُيَيٌّ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ قَدْ دَخَلَ خَرِبَةً فَقَالَ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ حُيَيًّا يَطُوفُ فِي خَرِبَةٍ هَاهُنَا فَذَهَبُوا فَطَافُوا فَوَجَدُوا الْمَسْكَ فِي خَرِبَةٍ فَقَتَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ابْنَيْ أَبِي حَقِيقٍ وَأَحَدُهُمَا زَوْجُ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيِّ بْنِ أَخْطَبَ وَسَبَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نِسَاءَهُمْ وَذَرَارِيَّهُمْ وَقَسَمَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ لِلنَّكْثِ الَّذِي نَكَثُوهُ وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُجْلِيَهُمُ مِنْهَا فَقَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّدُ دَعْنَا نَكُونُ فِي هَذِهِ الْأَرْضِ نُصْلِحُهَا وَنَقُومُ عَلَيْهَا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَا لِأَصْحَابِهِ غِلْمَانُ يَقُومُونَ عَلَيْهَا فَكَانُوا لَا يَتَفَرَّغُونَ أَنْ يَقُومُوا فَأَعْطَاهُمْ خَيْبَرَ عَلَى أَنَّ لَهُمُ الشَّطْرَ مِنْ كُلِّ زَرْعٍ وَنَخْلٍ وَشَيْءٍ مَا بَدَا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] From his father and others, they prepared to meet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the following year in Mecca, along with those who followed them from their people. They left in the following year, seventy men among those who left their land of polytheism, Ka'b bin Malik said, "Until we were in the vicinity of the desert, Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur bin Sakhra bin Khansa', who was our elder and leader, said, 'I saw a vision, and by Allah, I do not know if you agree with me or not. I saw that I should not be one of those who seeks to destroy the Ka'bah, even though I pray towards it.' We said, 'Do not do that, for we have not received any report that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ prays except towards Ash-Sham, and we only pray towards his Qiblah.' So we insisted on this with him, and he insisted on it with us, and we set out with that. When it was time for prayer, he prayed towards the Ka'bah and we prayed towards Ash-Sham until we reached Mecca. Ka'b bin Malik said, "Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur bin Sakhra' said to me, 'By Allah, my nephew, it has occurred to me during this journey something that I would like you to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about, for it has occurred to me something regarding this matter in my mind. I have seen that I should not be one of those who seeks to destroy the Ka'bah, even though I pray towards it, and my companions have reproached me and opposed me until it has occurred to me something regarding this in my mind.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, you were on a Qiblah, so if you had persevered in it.' And he did not add anything to that." Then we went to Mina and performed the Hajj until when it was the middle of the days of Tashreeq, we (the Prophet and us) approached Al-Aqabah. We came out quietly from our tents and hid that from the polytheists among our people. When we gathered at Al-Aqabah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came with his uncle Al-Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the Qur'an to us, and we responded to him and believed in him and accepted what he said. Then Al-Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib spoke and said, "O people of the Khazraj, indeed Muhammad is one of us, as you know, and we have prevented him from one of the things that we have prevented ourselves and our women and children from. Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur spoke and took the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Give us your pledge." He said, "I give you my pledge on the condition that you protect me from those things that you protect yourselves, your women, and your children from." He said, "Yes, by the One Who sent you with the truth, we are the people of war, and we have inherited it from one generation to another."

[Machine] We said, "O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you have difficulty in seeing the sun during a clear day?" We said, "No." He said, "Do you have difficulty in seeing the moon on a full moon night?" We said, "No." He said, "Indeed, you will not have difficulty in seeing your Lord, just as you have no difficulty in seeing the sun and the moon. He will call out in a loud voice, 'Everyone shall follow what they used to worship!' The people of the cross shall go with their cross, and the people of idols shall go with their idols, and the people of every deity shall go with their deity. Those who worshipped Allah alone, both the righteous and the wicked, will remain. Then Hell will be brought forth and presented as if it were a mirage. It will be said to the Jews, 'What were you worshipping?' They will say, 'We used to worship 'Uzair (Ezra), the son of Allah.' It will be said, 'You have lied. Allah did not take a son or companion. What do you want?' They will say, 'We want to drink.' It will be said, 'Drink,' and they will fall into Hell. Then it will be said to the Christians, 'What were you worshipping?' They will say, 'We used to worship the Messiah, the son of Allah.' It will be said, 'You have lied. Allah did not take a son or companion. What do you want?' They will say, 'We want to drink.' It will be said, 'Drink,' and they will fall into Hell. Only those who worshipped Allah alone, whether righteous or wicked, will remain.

[Machine] The people, O Messenger of Allah, asked: "Will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun when there are no clouds?" They replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Then, do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on a full moon night when there are no clouds?" They replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Indeed, you will see Him on the Day of Resurrection just as you have no difficulty in seeing the sun and the moon in their clear skies. Allah will gather the people on the Day of Resurrection and say, 'Whoever used to worship something, let him follow it.' So, those who used to worship the sun will follow the sun, and those who used to worship the moon will follow the moon, and those who used to worship idols will follow the idols. Then, the remainder of this Ummah will remain with their hypocrites. Allah will come to them in a form that they will recognize and will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'We seek refuge with Allah from you. This is our place until our Lord comes to us.' When our Lord comes to them, they will recognize Him and say, 'You are our Lord.' But a bridge will be placed over Hellfire." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I will be the first one to cross it. The invocation of the Messengers on that day will be, 'O Allah, grant safety, grant safety,' and with me will be my followers, resembling the boughs of a tree (or the sa'adān)?" It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the boughs of a tree (sa'adān)?" He replied, "Do you know the extent of the boughs of a tree?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "It is like that, but Allah Alone knows its real extent. Then, the people will go on being examined and interrogated regarding their deeds. Some of them will be saved by their deeds, while others will be ruined, Many of those who will be ruined will be subject to punishment and thus will be purified (through the fire of Hell), until Allah, the Lord of the worlds, will come to them and ask, 'Whoever said, 'La ilaha illâ Allah' (None has the right to be worshiped but Allah), bring all his good deeds to reward him.' They will come forward with all their good deeds, but the one who will weigh most heavily in the balance, will be his testimony of having said, 'La ilaha illâ Allah.' The person will be saved (from the Hellfire) and laughed at." Allah will then say, "Go and enter the Paradise." The person will keep asking Allah for the fulfillment of his desires, so Allah will remind him and say, "Didn't you assert that you would not ask for anything other than what you have already been given? Woe to you, O son of Adam! How treacherous you were!" The person will then invoke Allah again and again, and Allah will say, "If I give you that, will you then ask for anything else?" The person will say, "No, by Your Majesty! I shall not ask for anything else." Allah will fulfill his desire and let him enter Paradise. The person will be so contented that he will remain quiet and will not stand up (for any need), but Allah will prompt him and say, "Do you want anything else?" Until all his desires and wishes will be fulfilled, then Allah will say, "This is for you, and so is ten times the like of it, and a similar palace, the like of which you have seen." Abu Sa`id (a companion of the Prophet) added, "If you wish, you can recite this verse from the Holy Quran: 'For those who have done good is the best reward and even more.'" (10:26)

“I supplicate Allah to bring you and I together in the marketplace of Paradise,” Sa’eed said: “Is there a marketplace there?” He said: “Yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told me that when the people of Paradise enter it, they will take their places according to their deeds, and they will be given permission for a length of time equivalent to Friday on earth, when they will visit Allah. His Throne will be shown to them and He will appear to them in one of the gardens of Paradise. Chairs of light and chairs of pearls and chairs of rubies and chairs of chrysolite and chairs of gold and chairs of silver will be placed for them. Those who are of a lower status than them, and none of them will be regarded as insignificant, will sit on sandhills of musk and camphor, and they will not feel that those who are sitting on chairs are seated better than them.” Abu Hurairah said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord?’ He said: ‘Yes. Do you dispute that you see the sun and the moon on the night when it is full?’ We said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Likewise, you will not dispute that you see your Lord, the Glorified. There will be no one left in that gathering with whom Allah does not speak face to face, until He will say to a man among you: “Do you not remember, O so-and-so, the day you did such and such?” And He will remind him of some of his sins in this world. He will say: “O Lord, have You not forgiven me?” He will say: “Yes, it is by the vastness of My forgiveness that You have reached the position you are in.” While they are like that, a cloud will cover them from above and will rain down on them perfume the like of whose fragrance they have never smelled before. Then He will say: “Get up and go to the honor that has been prepared for you, and take whatever you desire.” So we will go to a marketplace surrounded by the angels, in which there will be such things as eyes have never seen, ears have never heard and it has not entered the heart of man. Whatever we desire will be carried for us. Nothing will be bought or sold therein. In that marketplace the people of Paradise will meet one another. A man of elevated status will meet those who are of lower status than him, but none shall be regarded as insignificant, and he will be dazzled by the clothes that he sees on him. He will not finish the last of his conversation before better clothes appear on him. That is because no one should be sad there.’” “He said: ‘Then we will go back to our homes where we will be met by our wives, and they will say: ‘Welcome. You have come looking more handsome and with a better fragrance than when you left us.’ And we will say: ‘Today we sat with our Lord, the Compeller, the Glorified, and we deserve to come back as we have come back.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4336)
