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.

ʿI have seen a dream, in which I saw myself being pecked by a rooster twice, and I think it signals my death. The people are telling me to appoint a caliph after me. Allah will not cause His caliphate or His religion to be lost, or that with which He sent His Prophet ﷺ. If I die, then the caliphate is to be decided by a council of these six men with whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was pleased when he died, then whichever of them you swear allegiance to, listen to him and obey. I know that there are some men then who will seek to undermine this matter, and I have sought them with these two hands of mine in support of Islam. It they do that, then those are the enemies of Allah, the misguided disbelievers. By Allah, I am not leaving behind anything of more concern to me than kalalah. I asked the Prophet ﷺ of Allah about it and he never spoke to me in such a harsh manner as he did with regard to that, to such an extent that he poked me in the chest or side with his hand or his finger and said: ʿO ʿUmar: The verse at the end of Soorah an Nisa’ that was revealed in summer is sufficient for you.” If I live, I will pass a judgement concerning it that no one who reads Qurʿan or who does not read Qurʿan will dispute. Then ʿUmar said: O Allah, bear witness concerning the governors of the regions; I sent them to teach the people their religion and the Sunnah of their Prophet ﷺ, and to divide the saiʿ among them, and to judge between them on a fair basis, and whatever they found difficult they were to refer to me. Then he said: O people, you eat two plants that I think are nothing but distasteful, this garlic and onion. At the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I would see that is the smell of these things was found on a man, he would be taken by the hand and led out to al-Baqeeʿ. Whoever must eat them, let him cook them to death.ʻUmar said this in a khutbah on Friday, and was stabbed on Wednesday 26 Dhul Hijjah.

I saw a dream that I can only interpret as meaning that my death is near; I saw as if a rooster pecked me twice, and I was told that it was a red rooster. I told this dream to Asma’ bint 'Umais, the wife of Abu Bakr , and she said: You will be killed by a Persian man. The people are asking me to appoint a successor, but Allah will not cause His religion and His caliphate, with which He sent His Prophet ﷺ to be lost. If death comes to me soon, then the caliphate is to be decided by these six men with whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was pleased when he died. Whichever of them you swear allegiance to, then listen to him and obey. I know that some people will object to this matter. I have fought them with my own hands in the defence of Islam. They are the enemies of Allah and misguided kafirs. By Allah, I am not leaving behind anything that my Lord instructed me to do and I came to the position of caliphate on that basis that is more important to me than kalalah. By Allah, the Prophet of Allah ﷺ never emphasised any issue to me since I accompanied him more than the issue of kalalah, until he poked me in the chest with his finger and said: ʿIs not ayatas-saif (the verse of summer, i.e., it was revealed in summer), which appears at the end of Sooratan Nisa', sufficient for you?ʿ If I live I will issue a decree that will be so clear that those who read the Qur'an and those who do not read it will be able to make decisions concerning it. I call upon Allah to bear witness over the governors of the regions, for I only sent them to be just and to teach the people their religion and the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ and to refer to me concerning any difficult matter. O people, you eat two plants which I find to be nothing but repugnant, this onion and garlic. I remember the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, if he noticed their smell coming from a man in the mosque, he would issue orders that he taken out from the mosque to al-Baqee'. Whoever must eat them, let him cook them to death.” He said: He addressed the people on Friday and was attacked on Wednesday.

[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] I have seen three things from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that no one before me had seen and no one after me will see. I went with him on a journey until when we were on a certain path, we passed by a woman who had a child with her. She said, "O Messenger of Allah, this child has been afflicted with a harm, and we have been afflicted with harm from him. He seizes us multiple times a day." He said, "Give him to me." So she handed him to him, and he placed him between himself and the saddle of the camel. Then he blew in his mouth three times and said, "In the name of Allah, I am the servant of Allah, get out, O enemy of Allah." Then he returned him to her and said, "We will pass by this place on the return journey, so inform us what the child is like." She said, "We went and returned and found him at that place with three sheep-like animals." He asked, "What did your child do?" She said, "By the One who sent you with the truth, we did not sense any change in him until now." He said, "Gather these sheep together." He then said, "Go to them and tell them that the Messenger of Allah orders both of you to return to your respective places." He said, "I was sitting with him on a certain day when a camel came, making noise and hitting its legs in front of him. Then his eyes shed tears and he said, 'Look at whose camel this is. It has some importance.'" So I went to search for its owner and found it belonged to a man from the Ansar. I called him and he asked, "What is the matter with your camel?" I asked, "What is the matter with it?" He said, "I don’t know, by Allah. We have worked on it and exhausted it to the point that it can no longer be watered. We decided just yesterday to slaughter it and divide its meat among ourselves." He said, "Don’t do that. Give it to me." The man said, "No, it is for you, O Messenger of Allah." So he marked it with the seal of charity and then sent it away.

[Machine] "In the battle of Uhud, the women used to stand behind the Muslim men and tend to the wounds of the polytheists. So, if I made an oath that day, I hoped to fulfill it because none of us desired the worldly life until Allah revealed, 'Among you are some who desire the world, and among you are some who desire the Hereafter. Then He turned you away from them to test you.' [Quran 3:152] When the Prophet ﷺ and his companions disobeyed and did not follow the orders they were given, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained alone with nine Ansaris, two men from Quraysh, and he was the tenth. When they were overwhelmed, he said, 'May Allah have mercy on a man who separated them from us.' Then a man from the Ansar stood up and fought until he was killed. When he was also overwhelmed, he said, 'May Allah have mercy on a man who separated them from us.' He kept saying this until all seven of them were killed. Then the Prophet ﷺ said to his companions, 'Our martyrs and your martyrs are not equal. Our martyrs are alive and provided for, while your martyrs are being punished in the Fire.' Abu Sufyan came and said, 'Declare victory, Hu'bal.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Say, 'Allah is our protector and you have no protector.'' So they said, 'Allah is our protector and you have no protector.' Abu Sufyan said, 'We have Uzza and you have no Uzza.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Say, 'Allah is our superior and our most majestic.''' Abu Sufyan said, 'A day for a (good) day, a day for us and a day for you, a day of women and a day of men fighting individually.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'No comparison. As for our dead, they are provided for by Allah, while as for your dead, they are being punished in the Fire.' Abu Sufyan said, 'The matter was similar among your people, but there was no one among us who had commanded, forbidden, liked, disliked, harmed, or benefited me regarding it.' Then they looked and saw that Hamzah's stomach had been slit and Hind had chewed his liver, but she was unable to swallow it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Has she eaten any of it?' They said, 'No.' He said, 'Allah would not let anything of Hamzah enter the Fire.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed Hamzah and offered the funeral prayer for him. Then another man was brought from the Ansar and placed by his side, and the funeral prayer was offered for him. The Ansari was raised, and Hamzah was left without offering the funeral prayer for him until seventy prayers were offered for him that day."

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

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَبِثَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ يَتْبَعُ النَّاسَ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ وَمَجَنَّةِ وَعُكَاظٍ وَمَنَازِلِهِمْ مِنْ مِنَىً «مَنْ يُؤْوِينِي مَنْ يَنْصُرُنِي حَتَّى أُبَلِّغَ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ؟» فَلَا يَجِدُ أَحَدًا يَنْصُرُهُ وَلَا يُؤْوِيَهُ حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَرْحَلُ مِنْ مِصْرَ أَوْ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ إِلَى ذِي رَحِمِهِ فَيَأْتِيهِ قَوْمُهُ فَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ احْذَرْ غُلَامَ قُرَيْشٍ لَا يَفْتِنَّنَكَ وَيَمْشِي بَيْنَ رِحَالِهِمْ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ ﷻ يُشِيرُونَ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ حَتَّى بَعَثَنَا اللَّهُ مِنْ يَثْرِبَ فَيَأْتِيهِ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا فَيُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَيُقْرِئُهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَيُسْلِمُونَ بِإِسْلَامِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ دَارٌ مِنْ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَّا وَفِيهَا رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يُظْهِرُونَ الْإِسْلَامَ وَبَعَثَنَا اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ فَائْتَمَرْنَا وَاجْتَمَعْنَا وَقُلْنَا حَتَّى مَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُطْرَدُ فِي جِبَالِ مَكَّةَ وَيَخَافُ فَرَحَلْنَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ فَوَاعَدَنَا بَيْعَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَمُّهُ الْعَبَّاسُ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي لَا أَدْرِي مَا هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمُ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوكَ إِنِّي ذُو مَعْرِفَةٍ بِأَهْلِ يَثْرِبَ فَاجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَهُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَرَجُلَيْنِ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ الْعَبَّاسُ فِي وُجُوهِنَا قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ أَحْدَاثٌ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَى مَا نُبَايِعُكَ؟ قَالَ «تُبَايعُونِي عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ فِي النَّشَاطِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَعَلَى النَّفَقَةِ فِي الْعُسْرِ وَالْيُسْرِ وَعَلَى الْأَمْرِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَعَلَى أَنْ تَقُولُوا فِي اللَّهِ لَا تَأْخُذْكُمْ لَوْمَةُ لَائِمٍ وَعَلَى أَنْ تَنْصُرُونِيَ إِذَا قَدِمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَمْنَعُونِي مِمَّا تَمْنَعُونَ عَنْهُ أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجَكُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَلَكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ» فَقُمْنَا نُبَايِعُهُ وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ أَسْعَدُ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُ السَّبْعِينَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ رُوَيْدًا يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ إِنَّا لَمْ نَضْرِبْ إِلَيْهِ أَكْبَادَ الْمَطِيِّ إِلَّا وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَنَّ إِخْرَاجَهُ الْيَوْمَ مُفَارَقَةُ الْعَرَبِ كَافَّةً وَقَتْلُ خِيَارِكُمْ وَأَنَّ يَعَضَّكُمُ السَّيْفُ فَإِمَّا أَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَصْبِرُونَ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا مَسَّتْكُمْ وَعَلَى قَتْلِ خِيَارِكُمْ وَمُفَارَقَةِ الْعَرَبِ كَافَّةً فَخُذُوهُ وَأَجْرُكُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَإِمَّا أَنْتُمْ تَخَافُونَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ خِيفَةً فَذَرُوهُ فَهُوَ عُذْرٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ﷻ فَقَالُوا يَا أَسْعَدُ أَمِطْ عَنَّا يَدَكَ فَوَاللَّهِ لَا نَذَرُ هَذِهِ الْبَيْعَةَ وَلَا نَسْتَقِيلُهَا قَالَ فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ رَجُلًا رَجُلًا فَأَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا لِيُعْطِيَنَا بِذَلِكَ الْجَنَّةَ  

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

[Machine] While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was talking to his companions, he said to them, "A group of riders will come to you from this direction, and they are the best people of the East." Then Umar ibn al-Khattab stood up and headed in that direction, where he met thirteen riders. He greeted them, approached them, and asked, "Who are you?" They said, "We are a group from the tribe of Abd al-Qays." Umar asked them, "What brought you to this land? Is it trade?" They answered, "No." Umar asked, "Then are you selling your swords?" They replied, "No." He asked, "Perhaps you have come in search of this man?" They said, "Yes." Umar went back and informed them about the Prophet, and the people left their belongings and rushed to the Prophet. They took his hand, kissed it, and sat around him. Ashajj, the youngest among them, took care of their camels, watered them, and collected the belongings of the people. Then he came walking with his camels and baggage until he reached the Prophet. He held the Prophet's hand, kissed it, and said, "O Messenger of Allah, are there two qualities that Allah and His Messenger love?" The Prophet asked, "What are they, O Messenger of Allah?" Ashajj said, "Humbleness and walking with determination." Ashajj asked, "O Messenger of Allah, was I born with these qualities or did I acquire them?" The Prophet said, "No, you were born with them." Ashajj said, "Alhamdulillah (All praises be to Allah), who has created me with what Allah and His Messenger love." The people arrived with dates for themselves, and the Prophet started telling them about each date, calling them by specific names. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we do not know the names of the dates as you do." The Prophet said, "Indeed." Then they asked one of them, "Give us some of the leftover bows that you have." So he brought them some dates, and the Prophet said, "These dates are from the best of your dates; they are a medicine with no ailment."  

بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ أَصْحَابَهُ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ «سَيَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ رَكْبٌ هُمْ خَيْرُ أَهْلِ الْمَشْرِقِ» فَقَامَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَتَوَجَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَجْهِ فَلَقِيَ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَاكِبًا فَرَحَّبَ وَقَرَّبَ وَقَالَ مَنِ الْقَوْمُ؟ قَالُوا نَفَرٌ مِنْ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ قَالَ فَمَا أَقْدَمَكُمْ هَذِهِ الْبِلَادَ؟ الِتِّجَارَةُ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ فَتَبِيعُونَ سُيُوفَكُمْ هَذِهِ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ فَلَعَلَّكُمْ إِنَّمَا قَدِمْتُمْ فِي طَلَبِ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ قَالُوا أَجَلْ فَمَشَى يُحَدِّثُهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ هَذَا صَاحِبُكُمُ الَّذِي تَطْلُبُونَ فَرَمَى الْقَوْمُ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ عَنْ رِحَالِهِمْ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ سَعَى وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ هَرْوَلَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ مَشَى حَتَّى أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخَذُوا بِيَدِهِ فَقَبَّلُوهَا وَقَعَدُوا إِلَيْهِ وَبَقِيَ الْأَشَجُّ وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُ الْقَوْمِ فَأَنَاخَ الْإِبِلَ وَعَقَلَهَا وَجَمَعَ مَتَاعَ الْقَوْمِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ يَمْشِي عَلَى تُؤَدَةٍ حَتَّى أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَبَّلَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «فِيكَ خَصْلَتَانِ يُحِبُّهُمَا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» قَالَ مَا هُمَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «الْأَنَاةُ وَالتُّؤَدَةُ» فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَجَبَلٌ جُبِلْتُ عَلَيْهِ؟ أَوْ خُلُقٌ مِنِّي؟ قَالَ «بَلْ جَبَلٌ جُبِلْتَ عَلَيْهِ» فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَبَلَنِي عَلَى مَا يُحِبُّ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَأَقْبَلَ الْقَوْمُ عَلَى تَمَرَاتٍ لَهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَهَا فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ بِهَا يُسَمِّي لَهُمْ هَذَا كَذَا وَهَذَا كَذَا قَالُوا أَجَلْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَا نَحْنُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِأَسْمَائِهَا مِنْكَ فَقَالَ «أَجَلْ» فَقَالُوا لِرَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ أَطْعِمْنَا مِنْ بَقِيَّةِ الْقَوْسِ الَّذِي بَقِيَ مِنْ نَوْطِكَ فَأَتَاهُمْ بِالْبَرْنِيِّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هَذَا الْبَرْنِيُّ أَمَا إِنَّهُ مِنْ خَيْرِ تَمْرِكُمْ دَوَاءٌ لَا دَاءَ فِيهِ»  

[Machine] I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he returned from Badr. A man from the Ansar said, "Did we only encounter feeble old women like the fortified castles, whom we slaughtered?" The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed until I saw him as if he had chewed on pomegranate seeds. Then he said, "O son of my brother, do not say that. They are the leaders of Quraysh. If you had seen them in their gatherings in Makkah, you would have burned them." By Allah, I went to Makkah and saw them sitting in the Mosque. I could not even greet them due to their awe-inspiring presence. I remembered the saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "O people, love Quraysh, for whoever loves Quraysh has loved me, and whoever hates Quraysh has hated me. And indeed, Allah has made my people beloved to me, so I do not hasten to punish them, nor do I give them too much favor. O Allah, indeed You inflicted upon the first Quraysh their punishment. So, inflict upon the last of them their retribution, except that Allah knew what was in my heart of my love for my people, so He made me kind towards them." Allah says, "And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred.And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers." It means, my people. So all praise is due to Allah, who made Abu Bakr from my people, and the martyr from my people, and the Imams from my people. Indeed, Allah has turned the backs of the servants to the stomachs, and the best of the Arabs are Quraysh, and they are the tree that Allah says, "A good word is like a good tree." It means, Quraysh. "Whose root is firmly fixed" means, their nobility. "And its branches [high] in the sky." It means, the honor that Allah honored them with through Islam, which guided them to it and made them its people. Then Allah revealed a Surah in their honor in the Book of Allah, which is decisive, "For the accustomed security of the Quraysh - Their accustomed security [in] the caravan of winter and summer - Let them worship the Lord of this House, Who has fed them, [saving them] from hunger and made them safe, [saving them] from fear."  

كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ جَاءَ مِنْ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَهَلْ لَقِينَا إلَّا عَجَائِزَ كالْحِرْزِ الْمُعَقَّلَةِ فَنَحَرْنَاهُمْ فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُهُ كَأَنَّهُ تَفَقَّأَ فِيهِ حَبُّ الرُّمَّانِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا ابْنَ أَخِي لَا تَقُلْ ذَلِكَ أُولَئِكَ الْمَلَأُ الْأَكْبَرُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَمَا لَوْ رَأَيْتُهُمْ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ بِمَكَّةَ لَهِبْتَهُمْ» فَوَاللهِ لَأَتَيْتُ مَكَّةَ فَرَأَيْتُهُمْ قُعُودًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَمَا قَدَرْتُ أَنْ أُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ هَيْبَتِهِمْ فَذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا مَعَاشِرَ النَّاسِ أَحِبُّوا قُرَيْشًا فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ أَحَبّ قُرَيْشًا فَقَدْ أَحَبَّنِي وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَ قُرَيْشًا فَقَدْ أَبْغَضَنِي وإنَّ اللهَ حَبَّ إِلَيَّ قَوْمِي فَلَا أَتَعَجَّلُ لَهُمْ نِقْمَةً وَلَا أسْتَكْثِرُ لَهُمْ نِعْمَةً اللهُمَّ إَنَّكَ أَذَقْتَ أَوَّلَ قُرَيْشٍ نَكَالًا فَأَذِقْ آخِرَهَا نَوَالًا إلَّا أَنَّ اللهَ عَلِمَ مَا فِي قَلْبِي مِنْ حُبِّي لِقَوْمِي فَسَرَّنِي فِيهِمْ» قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} يَعْنِي قَوْمِي فَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ الصِّدِّيقَ مِنْ قَوْمِي وَالشَّهِيدَ مِنْ قَوْمِي وَالْأَئِمَّةَ مِنْ قَوْمِي إِنَّ اللهَ قَلَّبَ الْعِبَادَ ظَهْرًا لِبَطْنٍ فَكَانَ خَيْرَ الْعَرَبِ قُرَيْشٌ وَهِيَ الشَّجَرَةُ الَّتِي قَالَ اللهُ {مَثَلًا كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ} يَعْنِي بِهَا قُرَيْشًا {أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ} يَقُولُ أَصْلُهَا كَرَمٌ {وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ} يَقُولُ الشُّرَفُ الَّذِي شَرَّفَهُمُ اللهُ بِالْإِسْلَامِ الَّذِي هَدَاهُمْ لَهُ وَجَعَلَهُمْ أَهْلَهُ ثُمَّ أنْزَلَ فِيهِمْ سُورَةً مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ مُحْكَمَةً {لِإِيلَافِ قُرَيْشٍ إِيلَافِهِمْ رِحْلَةَ الشِّتَاءِ وَالصَّيْفِ فَلْيَعْبُدُوا رَبَّ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَهُمْ مِنْ جُوعٍ وَآمَنَهُمْ مِنْ خَوْفٍ}  

[Machine] I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he returned from the Battle of Badr. A man from the Ansar said, "Have we only fought old women like the fortified castles of Harz, whom we slaughtered?" The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed, and I saw him twitching his mouth as if he had bitten a pomegranate seed. Then he said, "O son of my brother, do not say that. Those are the elite leaders of the Quraysh. If you had seen them in their gatherings in Makkah, you would have been amazed by their dignity and nobility." By Allah, I came to Makkah and saw them sitting in the mosque. I could not bring myself to greet them due to their awe. I remembered the saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , "O people, love the Quraysh, for whoever loves the Quraysh has loved me, and whoever hates the Quraysh has hated me. Allah has made my people dear to me, so I do not hasten to punish them or deprive them of blessings. O Allah, You have made the Quraysh taste the first retribution, so make them taste the final retribution as well, except that Allah knows what is in my heart of love for my people, so He has made me merciful towards them." Allah says, "And warn your closest kindred. And lower your wing to the believers who follow you." This refers to my people. Praise be to Allah, who made Abu Bakr from my people, and the martyr from my people, and the Imams from my people. Indeed, Allah has reversed the backs of His servants towards their stomachs, so the best Arab tribe is the Quraysh, who are the tree mentioned by Allah as a good word and a good tree." This means the Quraysh, "Its root is firmly established" means their nobility, "while its branches reach to the sky" means the honor that Allah honored them with through Islam, which guided them to it and made them its people. Then He revealed a Surah about them in the Book of Allah, which is firm, "For the accustomed security of the Quraysh, their accustomed security [in] the winter and summer journeys, let them worship the Lord of this House, Who has fed them, [saving them] from hunger and made them safe, [saving them] from fear."  

كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ جَاءَ مِنْ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَهَلْ لَقِينَا إلَّا عَجَائِزَ كالْحِرْزِ الْمُعَقَّلَةِ فَنَحَرْنَاهُمْ فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُهُ كَأَنَّهُ تَفَقَّأَ فِيهِ حَبُّ الرُّمَّانِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا ابْنَ أَخِي لَا تَقُلْ ذَلِكَ أُولَئِكَ الْمَلَأُ الْأَكْبَرُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَمَا لَوْ رَأَيْتُهُمْ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ بِمَكَّةَ لَهِبْتَهُمْ» فَوَاللهِ لَأَتَيْتُ مَكَّةَ فَرَأَيْتُهُمْ قُعُودًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَمَا قَدَرْتُ أَنْ أُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ هَيْبَتِهِمْ فَذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا مَعَاشِرَ النَّاسِ أَحِبُّوا قُرَيْشًا فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ أَحَبّ قُرَيْشًا فَقَدْ أَحَبَّنِي وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَ قُرَيْشًا فَقَدْ أَبْغَضَنِي وإنَّ اللهَ حَبَّ إِلَيَّ قَوْمِي فَلَا أَتَعَجَّلُ لَهُمْ نِقْمَةً وَلَا أسْتَكْثِرُ لَهُمْ نِعْمَةً اللهُمَّ إَنَّكَ أَذَقْتَ أَوَّلَ قُرَيْشٍ نَكَالًا فَأَذِقْ آخِرَهَا نَوَالًا إلَّا أَنَّ اللهَ عَلِمَ مَا فِي قَلْبِي مِنْ حُبِّي لِقَوْمِي فَسَرَّنِي فِيهِمْ» قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} يَعْنِي قَوْمِي فَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ الصِّدِّيقَ مِنْ قَوْمِي وَالشَّهِيدَ مِنْ قَوْمِي وَالْأَئِمَّةَ مِنْ قَوْمِي إِنَّ اللهَ قَلَّبَ الْعِبَادَ ظَهْرًا لِبَطْنٍ فَكَانَ خَيْرَ الْعَرَبِ قُرَيْشٌ وَهِيَ الشَّجَرَةُ الَّتِي قَالَ اللهُ {مَثَلًا كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ} يَعْنِي بِهَا قُرَيْشًا {أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ} يَقُولُ أَصْلُهَا كَرَمٌ {وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ} يَقُولُ الشُّرَفُ الَّذِي شَرَّفَهُمُ اللهُ بِالْإِسْلَامِ الَّذِي هَدَاهُمْ لَهُ وَجَعَلَهُمْ أَهْلَهُ ثُمَّ أنْزَلَ فِيهِمْ سُورَةً مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ مُحْكَمَةً {لِإِيلَافِ قُرَيْشٍ إِيلَافِهِمْ رِحْلَةَ الشِّتَاءِ وَالصَّيْفِ فَلْيَعْبُدُوا رَبَّ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَهُمْ مِنْ جُوعٍ وَآمَنَهُمْ مِنْ خَوْفٍ}  

Zaid b. Wahb al-Juhani told us that he was in the army which proceeded to (fight with) the Khawarij in the company of ʿAli. ʿAli then said: O people! I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: there will appear from among my community people who recite the Qur'an, and your recitation has no comparison with their recitation, and your prayer has no comparison with their prayer, and your fasts have no comparison with their fasts. They will recite the Qur'an thinking that it is beneficial for them, while it is harmful for them. Their prayer will not pass their collar-bones. They will swerve from Islam as an arrow goes through the animal shot at. If the army that is approaching them knows what (reward) has been decided for them at the tongue of their Prophet ﷺ, they would leave (other good) activities. The sign of that is that among them there will be a man who has an upper arm, but not hand; on his upper arm there will be something like the nipple of a female breast, having white hair thereon. Will you go to Muʿawiyah and the people of Syria, and leave them behind among your children and property? I swear by Allah, I hope these are the same people, for they shed the blood unlawfully, and attacked the cattle of the people so go on in the name of Allah. Salamah b. Kuhail said: Zaid b. Wahb then informed me of all the halting places one by one, (saying): Until we passed a bridge. When we fought with each other, ʿAbd Allah b. Wahb al-Rasibi, who was the leader of the Khawarij, said to them: Throw away the lances and pull out the swords from their sheaths, for I am afraid they will adjure you as they had adjured on the day of Harura. So they threw away their lances and pulled out their swords, and the people pierced them with their lances. They were killed (lying one on the other). On that day only two persons of the partisans (of ʿAli) were afflicted. ʿAli said: Search for the man with the crippled hand. But they could not find him. Then ʿAli got up himself and went to the people who had been killed and were lying on one another. He said: Take them out. They found him just near the ground. So he shouted: Allah is Most Great! He said: Allah spoke the truth, and His Apostle has conveyed. ʿUbaidat al-Salmani stood up to him, saying: Commander of the Faithful! Have you heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: Yes, by him, there is no God but He. He put to swear thrice and he swore. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4768)

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

[Machine] A woman in Sanaa, her husband left her and left his son from another woman in her room, a boy named Aseel. The woman took a friend after her husband and said to her friend, "This boy is exposing us, so kill him." He refused, so she held him against his will, and a man and another man and the woman and her servant gathered to kill him. They then cut him into pieces and put him in a barrel of Adam and threw him into a well in the village, where there was no water. Then the woman screamed and the people gathered, and they went looking for the boy. So a man passed by the well where the boy was, and the green flies came out of it. We said, "By Allah, there is a corpse in it, and her friend is with us." She hesitated, so we took her away. We locked her up and sent a man who brought out the boy. We took the man, and he confessed, and he told us the story. Then the woman and the other man and her servant confessed. Yali was writing, and he was the ruler of that time. He wrote to Umar, asking for their execution. He said, "By Allah, if the people of Sanaa had taken part in his killing, I would have killed them all." And we narrated from Abu Ishaq As-Sabi'i from Sa'id bin Wahb that a group went out, along with a man who was not with them. Their people accused them, so Shurayh said, "Your witnesses are that they killed your companion, otherwise they swore by Allah that they did not kill him." So they brought him to Ali, and Sa'id said, "I was with him." So Ali separated them, and they confessed. Ali ordered their execution, and they were killed.

فَأَبْلَغَهُ الرَّجُلُ رِسَالَةَ عُمَرَ فَقَدِم عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: أَنْتَ أُوَيْسٌ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤمِنِينَ، فَقَالَ: صَدَقَ اللَّه وَرَسُولُهُ هَلْ كَانَ بِكَ وَضَحٌ دَعَوْتَ اللَّه فَرَفَعَهُ عَنْكَ، ثُمَّ دَعَوْتَهُ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَهُ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، مَنْ أخْبَرَكَ به؟ فَوَاللَّه مَا اطَّلَعَ عَلَيْهِ غَيْرُ اللَّه! قَالَ: أخْبَرَنِى بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّه ﷺ ، وَأَمَرنِى أَنْ أَسأَلك حَتَّى تَدْعُوَ لِى، وَقَالَ: يَدْخُل الْجَنَّةَ بِشَفَاعَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِى أَكْثَرُ مِنْ رَبيعَةَ وَمُضَر، ثُمَّ سَمَّاكَ فَدَعَا لِعُمَرَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: حَاجَتِى إِلَيْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنينَ أَنْ تَكْتُمَهَا عَلَىَّ وَتَأذَنَ لِى فِى الانْصِرَافِ، فَفَعَلَ، ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ مُسْتَخْفِيًا مِنَ النَّاسِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ يَوْمَ نَهَاوَنْد فِيمَنِ اسْتُشْهِدَ".  

"عن سفيان بن وهب الخولانى قال: شهدت عمر بن الخطاب بالجابية، فحمد اللَّه وأثنى عليه بما هو أهله، ثم قال: أما بعدُ فإن هذا الفئ أفاءه اللَّه عليكم، الرَّفيع فيه وَالْوَضِيعُ بمنزلةٍ، ليس أحد أحق به من أحد، إلا ما كان من هذين الحيَّيْن: لخمٍ وجُذام، فإنى غير قاسمٍ لهم شيئا، فقام رجلٌ من لخم فقال: يا بن الخطاب أنشدك اللَّه في العدلِ، فقال: أفما يريدُ ابن الخطاب العدل والسوية؟ ! واللَّه إنى لأعلم لو كانت الهجرة بصنعاء ما خرج إليها من لخمٍ وجذام إلا القليل، فلا أجعلُ من تكلف السفر وابتاع الظهرَ بمنزلة قوم إنما قاتَلُوا في ديارهم، فقام أبو حُدَيْرٍ فقال: يا أمير المؤمنين: إن كان اللَّه ساق إلينا الهجرة في ديارنا فنصرناها وصدَّقناها، أفذاك الذى يُذهب حقنا في الإسلام؟ فقال عمر: واللَّه لأقسمن لكم ثلاث مرات، ثم قسم بين الناس فأصاب كل رجل نصفَ دينار، وإذا كانت معه امرأته أعطاه دينارا، وإذا كان وحده أعطاه نصف دينار، ثم دعا ابن قاطورا صاحبَ الأرض فقال: أخبرنى ما يكفى الرجل من القوتِ في اليوم والشهرِ، فأتى بالمُدِّ والقسط، فقال: يكفيه هذا المُدُّ في الشهر، وقسطُ زيت، وقسطُ خلٍّ،

فأمر عمر بِمُدَّىْ قمح فطُحِنا ثم عُجِنا، ثم أدهَهَمها بقسطين زيتًا، ثم أجلس عليهما ثلاثين رجلًا فكانت كِفَافَ شبعهم، ثم أخذ عمر المُدَّيْنِ والقسط بِيساره، ثم قال: اللهم لا حِلَّ لأَحَد أن ينقِصَهُمَا (بعدى، اللهم فمن نقصهما فانقص من عمره) ".
