I went out with 'Ubaidullah bin ʿAdi Al-Khaiyar. When we reached Hims (i.e. a town in Syria), 'Ubaidullah bin ʿAdi said (to me), "Would you like to see Wahshi so that we may ask him about the killing of Hamza?" I replied, "Yes." Wahshi used to live in Hims. We enquired about him and somebody said to us, "He is that in the shade of his palace, as if he were a full water skin." So we went up to him, and when we were at a short distance from him, we greeted him and he greeted us in return. 'Ubaidullah was wearing his turban and Wahshi could not see except his eyes and feet. 'Ubaidullah said, "O Wahshi! Do you know me?" Wahshi looked at him and then said, "No, by Allah! But I know that ʿAdi bin Al-Khiyar married a woman called Um Qital, the daughter of Abu Al-Is, and she delivered a boy for him at Mecca, and I looked for a wet nurse for that child. (Once) I carried that child along with his mother and then I handed him over to her, and your feet resemble that child's feet." Then 'Ubaidullah uncovered his face and said (to Wahshi), "Will you tell us (the story of) the killing of Hamza?" Wahshi replied "Yes, Hamza killed Tuaima bin ʿAdi bin Al-Khaiyar at Badr (battle) so my master, Jubair bin Mutʿim said to me, 'If you kill Hamza in revenge for my uncle, then you will be set free." When the people set out (for the battle of Uhud) in the year of 'Ainain ..'Ainain is a mountain near the mountain of Uhud, and between it and Uhud there is a valley.. I went out with the people for the battle. When the army aligned for the fight, Siba' came out and said, 'Is there any (Muslim) to accept my challenge to a duel?' Hamza bin ʿAbdul Muttalib came out and said, 'O Siba'. O Ibn Um Anmar, the one who circumcises other ladies! Do you challenge Allah and His Apostle?' Then Hamza attacked and killed him, causing him to be non-extant like the bygone yesterday. I hid myself under a rock, and when he (i.e. Hamza) came near me, I threw my spear at him, driving it into his umbilicus so that it came out through his buttocks, causing him to die. When all the people returned to Mecca, I too returned with them. I stayed in (Mecca) till Islam spread in it (i.e. Mecca). Then I left for Taif, and when the people (of Taif) sent their messengers to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I was told that the Prophet ﷺ did not harm the messengers; So I too went out with them till I reached Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When he saw me, he said, 'Are you Wahshi?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Was it you who killed Hamza?' I replied, 'What happened is what you have been told of.' He said, 'Can you hide your face from me?' So I went out when Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, and Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab appeared (claiming to be a prophet). I said, 'I will go out to Musailamah so that I may kill him, and make amends for killing Hamza. So I went out with the people (to fight Musailamah and his followers) and then famous events took place concerning that battle. Suddenly I saw a man (i.e. Musailamah) standing near a gap in a wall. He looked like an ash-colored camel and his hair was dishevelled. So I threw my spear at him, driving it into his chest in between his breasts till it passed out through his shoulders, and then an Ansari man attacked him and struck him on the head with a sword. ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar said, 'A slave girl on the roof of a house said: Alas! The chief of the believers (i.e. Musailamah) has been killed by a black slave."

"The first person to speak about Al-Qadar was Ma'bad Al-Juhani." He said: "Humaid bin Abdur-Rahman Al-Himyari and I went out until we reached Al-Madinah, and we said: 'If we could only meet someone among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ so we could ask him about what those people have innovated." [He said:] "So we met him - meaning Abdullah bin 'Umar - while he was leaving the Masjid." [He said:] "My companion and I were on either side of him." [He said:] I thought my companion was going to leave the speaking to me so I said: "O Abu Abdur-Rahman! There is a group of people who recite the Qur'an and seek knowledge, and they claim there is no Al-Qadar, and that the affair is left to chance.' He said: "Whenever you meet those people, then tell them that I am not of them and they are not of me. By the One Whom Abdullah swears by! If one of them were to spend gold the like of Uhud (mountain) in charity, it would not be accepted from him until he believes in Al-Qadar; the good of it and the bad of it.'" He said: "Then he began to narrate, he said: "'Umar bin Al-Khattab said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah when a man came with extremely white garments, and extremely black hair. He had no appearance of traveling visible on him, yet none of us recognized him. He came until he reached the Prophet ﷺ. He put his knees up against his knees, and then said: "O Muhammad! What is Iman?' He said 'To believe in Allah, His Angels, His, Books, His Messengers, the Day of Judgement, and Al-Qadar, the good of it and the bad of it.' He said: 'Then what is Islam?' He said: 'Testifying to La Ilaha Illallah, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, establishing the Salat, giving the Zakat, performing Hajj to the House, and fasting (the month of) Ramadan.' He said: 'Then what is Ihsan?' He said 'That (is) you worship Allah as if you see Him, and although you do not see Him, He certainly sees you.' He said: 'For all of those he replied to him: 'You have told the truth.'" He said: "So we were amazed at him, he would ask, and then tell him that he is telling the truth. He said: 'Then when is the Hour?' He ﷺ said: 'The one being asked knows no more than the questioner.' He said: 'Then what are its signs?' He said: 'That the slave woman gives birth to her master, and that the naked, poor, and bare-footed shepherds rival each other in the height of the buildings.'" 'Umar said: 'Then the Prophet ﷺ met me three days after that and said: 'O 'Umar! Do you know who the questioner was? It was Jibril. He came to teach you about the matters of your religion.'"

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

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.

I went out with 'Ubaidullah bin ʿAdi Al-Khaiyar. When we reached Hims (i.e. a town in Syria), 'Ubaidullah bin ʿAdi said (to me), "Would you like to see Wahshi so that we may ask him about the killing of Hamza?" I replied, "Yes." Wahshi used to live in Hims. We enquired about him and somebody said to us, "He is that in the shade of his palace, as if he were a full water skin." So we went up to him, and when we were at a short distance from him, we greeted him and he greeted us in return. 'Ubaidullah was wearing his turban and Wahshi could not see except his eyes and feet. 'Ubaidullah said, "O Wahshi! Do you know me?" Wahshi looked at him and then said, "No, by Allah! But I know that ʿAdi bin Al-Khiyar married a woman called Um Qital, the daughter of Abu Al-Is, and she delivered a boy for him at Mecca, and I looked for a wet nurse for that child. (Once) I carried that child along with his mother and then I handed him over to her, and your feet resemble that child's feet." Then 'Ubaidullah uncovered his face and said (to Wahshi), "Will you tell us (the story of) the killing of Hamza?" Wahshi replied "Yes, Hamza killed Tuaima bin ʿAdi bin Al-Khaiyar at Badr (battle) so my master, Jubair bin Mutʿim said to me, 'If you kill Hamza in revenge for my uncle, then you will be set free." When the people set out (for the battle of Uhud) in the year of 'Ainain ..'Ainain is a mountain near the mountain of Uhud, and between it and Uhud there is a valley.. I went out with the people for the battle. When the army aligned for the fight, Siba' came out and said, 'Is there any (Muslim) to accept my challenge to a duel?' Hamza bin ʿAbdul Muttalib came out and said, 'O Siba'. O Ibn Um Anmar, the one who circumcises other ladies! Do you challenge Allah and His Apostle?' Then Hamza attacked and killed him, causing him to be non-extant like the bygone yesterday. I hid myself under a rock, and when he (i.e. Hamza) came near me, I threw my spear at him, driving it into his umbilicus so that it came out through his buttocks, causing him to die. When all the people returned to Mecca, I too returned with them. I stayed in (Mecca) till Islam spread in it (i.e. Mecca). Then I left for Taif, and when the people (of Taif) sent their messengers to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I was told that the Prophet ﷺ did not harm the messengers; So I too went out with them till I reached Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When he saw me, he said, 'Are you Wahshi?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Was it you who killed Hamza?' I replied, 'What happened is what you have been told of.' He said, 'Can you hide your face from me?' So I went out when Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, and Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab appeared (claiming to be a prophet). I said, 'I will go out to Musailamah so that I may kill him, and make amends for killing Hamza. So I went out with the people (to fight Musailamah and his followers) and then famous events took place concerning that battle. Suddenly I saw a man (i.e. Musailamah) standing near a gap in a wall. He looked like an ash-colored camel and his hair was dishevelled. So I threw my spear at him, driving it into his chest in between his breasts till it passed out through his shoulders, and then an Ansari man attacked him and struck him on the head with a sword. ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar said, 'A slave girl on the roof of a house said: Alas! The chief of the believers (i.e. Musailamah) has been killed by a black slave." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4072)

[Machine] Zaid bin Sa'na went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day from the chambers, and with him was Ali bin Abi Talib. Then a man came to him riding a camel like a Bedouin, and he said: "O Messenger of Allah, the people of the village of Banu Fulan have embraced Islam and entered into Islam, and I have told them that if they embrace Islam, provision will come to them in abundance. However, they have been afflicted with a year of drought, hardship, and scarcity of rain. So, I fear, O Messenger of Allah, that they will leave Islam out of greed just as they entered it out of greed. If you see fit to send something to them that will help them, then do so." Then the Messenger of Allah glanced at a man beside him, whom I think was Ali, and said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, there is nothing left of it." So, Zaid bin Sa'na approached him and said: "O Muhammad, can you sell me some dates for a known time in the wall of Banu Fulan for such and such a period?" He responded: "No, O Jew, but I will sell you some dates for a known time for such and such a period, and do not mention the wall of Banu Fulan." So, I said, "Yes," then he took my hand and I abandoned what I was doing. I gave him eighty mithqals of gold in known dates for such and such a period, and the man accepted them and said: "Do justice to them and announce it to them." Zaid bin Sa'na said: "So, when two or three days remained before the appointed time, the Messenger of Allah went out and Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman came out with him in a group of his companions. So, when he finished the funeral prayer, and came close to a wall to sit down, I went to him and took hold of the edges of his shirt and his cloak, and I looked at him with a stern face. I said to him, "Will you not fulfill my right, O Muhammad? By Allah, I know your clan, the Banu Abd al-Muttalib, very well. Rather, I have known you through my association with you. I looked at Umar, and his eyes were rolling in his head like a revolving wheel. Then he cast a quick glance at me with his eye and said: "O enemy of Allah! Do you say to the Messenger of Allah what I hear and do what I see? By the One Who sent him with the truth, had I not feared that I would miss out on something, I would have struck you on the head with this sword of mine." The Messenger of Allah remained silent, looking at Umar calmly and with a sweet smile on his face. Then he said: "O Umar, he and I were in more need of something other than this. You should have commanded me to do well, and commanded him to follow well. O Umar, go to him and give him his right, and add twenty sa's of dates to the place where they were kept." Zaid said: "So Umar went with me and gave me my right and added twenty sa's of dates to the place where they were kept. I said: "What is this increase, O Umar?" He said: "The Messenger of Allah has ordered me to increase it to the place where it was kept." I asked him, "Do you know me, O Umar?" He said, "No." I said, "What led you to treat the Messenger of Allah as you did?" He asked, "O Umar, whenever something occurred to him from among the signs of Prophethood, I recognized it in his face when I looked at it, except for two signs that I did not tell him about which his forbearance outweighed his ignorance, nor would an increase in his ignorance cause his forbearance to decrease. I have informed him of both of them, and I bear witness to you, O Umar, that I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, Islam as my religion, and Muhammad as my Prophet. And I bear witness to you that half of my wealth, even though most of it comes in the form of charity given to the Ummah of Muhammad." Umar said, "Or to some of them, for it is not suitable for all of them." I said, "Or to some of them." So Umar and Zaid returned to the Messenger of Allah, and Zaid said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. I believed in him, confirmed him, followed him, and witnessed many things with him." Then he died

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and said, "I have been commanded to recite to your brothers from the jinn, so let one of you stand with me who does not have in his heart the weight of a mustard seed of arrogance." He said, "So I stood with him, and I had with me a pot of water." He said, "When we emerged, I drew a line around me, and he said, 'Do not leave it, for if you leave it, you will not see me and I will not see you until the Day of Resurrection.'" He said, "So I stood there until dawn came, and he said, 'Why do I see you standing?' I said, 'I did not sit for fear that I would leave it.' He said, 'If you had left it, you would not have seen me and I would not have seen you until the Day of Resurrection. Do you have any light with you?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'What is in the pot?' I said, 'Dates, sweet and pure water.' Then he performed ablution and established the prayer. When he finished the prayer, two jinn men came to him and asked him for provisions. He said, 'Did I not command both of you and your people with what is good for you?' They said, 'Yes, but we wanted some of us to attend the prayer with you.' He said, 'Who are you both?' They said, 'We are from the people of Nasib.' He said, 'Both of them have succeeded, and their people have also succeeded. I have commanded them with bones and dung as food and fodder, and I have prohibited them from performing istinja with bones or dung.'" Abu Sa'd Ahmad bin Muhammad al-Malini narrated this hadith on the authority of Abu Ahmad bin 'Adiy al-Hafith, who said, "I heard Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Hammad say that Muhammad bin Ismail al-Bukhari said, 'May Allah have mercy on Abu Zaid who narrated the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud that the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Dates are good and water is pure. A man of unknown origin who was not known to be in the company of 'Abdullah narrated this hadith, as narrated by 'Alqamah from 'Abdullah. Shu'bah narrated from 'Amr bin Murrah, who said, 'I asked Abu 'Ubaidah, 'Was 'Abdullah with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the night of the jinn?' He said, 'No.' Abu Sa'd al-Malini reported that Abu Ahmad bin 'Adiy narrated this hadith on the authority of Abu Sa'd al-Malini, who said, "This hadith was narrated by Abu Ahmad bin 'Adiy from Abu 'Abdullah al-Daraqutni, who weakened the chains of this narration. 'Ali bin Zaid has been deemed weak, and this hadith is not included in Hammaad bin Salamah's collections. The trustworthy narrator from Ta'if, whose name is Rashed bin Kaysan, is unknown, and nothing from this narration can be proven.

Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode a donkey, equipped with a thick cloth-covering made in Fadak and was riding behind him. He was going to pay visit to Saʿd bin Ubada in Banu Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj; and this incident happened before the battle of Badr. The Prophet ﷺ passed by a gathering in which ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present, and that was before ʿAbdullah bin Ubai embraced Islam. Behold in that gathering there were people of different religions: there were Muslims, pagans, idol-worshippers and Jews, and in that gathering ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha was also present. When a cloud of dust raised by the donkey reached that gathering, ʿAbdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his garment and then said, "Do not cover us with dust." Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ greeted them and stopped and dismounted and invited them to Allah (i.e. to embrace Islam) and recited to them the Holy Qur'an. On that, ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Saluil said, "O man ! There is nothing better than that what you say. If it is the truth, then do not trouble us with it in our gatherings. Return to your mount (or residence) and if somebody comes to you, relate (your tales) to him." On that ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha said, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle! Bring it (i.e. what you want to say) to us in our gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing one another till they were on the point of fighting with one another. The Prophet ﷺ kept on quietening them till they became quiet, whereupon the Prophet rode his animal (mount) and proceeded till he entered upon Saʿd bin Ubada. The Prophet ﷺ said to Saʿd, "Did you not hear what 'Abu Hub-b said?" He meant ʿAbdullah bin Ubai. "He said so-andso." On that Saʿd bin Ubada said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Excuse and forgive him, for by Him Who revealed the Book to you, Allah brought the Truth which was sent to you at the time when the people of this town (i.e. Medina) had decided unanimously to crown him and tie a turban on his head (electing him as chief). But when Allah opposed that (decision) through the Truth which Allah gave to you, he (i.e. ʿAbdullah bin Ubai) was grieved with jealously. and that caused him to do what you have seen." So Messenger of Allah ﷺ excused him, for the Prophet ﷺ and his companions used to forgive the pagans and the people of Scripture as Allah had ordered them, and they used to put up with their mischief with patience. Allah said: "And you shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the Scripture before you and from the pagans........'(3.186) And Allah also said:--"Many of the people of the Scripture wish if they could turn you away as disbelievers after you have believed, from selfish envy.." (2.109) So the Prophet ﷺ used to stick to the principle of forgiveness for them as long as Allah ordered him to do so till Allah permitted fighting them. So when Messenger of Allah ﷺ fought the battle of Badr and Allah killed the nobles of Quraish infidels through him, Ibn Ubai bin Salul and the pagans and idolaters who were with him, said, "This matter (i.e. Islam) has appeared (i.e. became victorious)." So they gave the pledge of allegiance (for embracing Islam) to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and became Muslims. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4566)

Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a Sariya of ten men as spies under the leadership of ʿAsim bin Thabit al-Ansari, the grandfather of ʿAsim bin ʿUmar Al-Khattab. They proceeded till they reached Hadaa, a place between 'Usfan, and Mecca, and their news reached a branch of the tribe of Hudhail called Bani Lihyan. About two-hundred men, who were all archers, hurried to follow their tracks till they found the place where they had eaten dates they had brought with them from Medina. They said, "These are the dates of Yathrib (i.e. Medina), "and continued following their tracks When ʿAsim and his companions saw their pursuers, they went up a high place and the infidels circled them. The infidels said to them, "Come down and surrender, and we promise and guarantee you that we will not kill any one of you" ʿAsim bin Thabit; the leader of the Sariya said, "By Allah! I will not come down to be under the protection of infidels. O Allah! Convey our news to Your Prophet. Then the infidels threw arrows at them till they martyred ʿAsim along with six other men, and three men came down accepting their promise and convention, and they were Khubaib-al-Ansari and Ibn Dathina and another man So, when the infidels captured them, they undid the strings of their bows and tied them. Then the third (of the captives) said, "This is the first betrayal. By Allah! I will not go with you. No doubt these, namely the martyred, have set a good example to us." So, they dragged him and tried to compel him to accompany them, but as he refused, they killed him. They took Khubaid and Ibn Dathina with them and sold them (as slaves) in Mecca (and all that took place) after the battle of Badr. Khubaib was bought by the sons of Al-Harith bin 'Amir bin Naufal bin ʿAbd Manaf. It was Khubaib who had killed Al-Harith bin 'Amir on the day (of the battle of) Badr. So, Khubaib remained a prisoner with those people. Narrated Az-Zuhri: 'Ubaidullah bin 'Iyyad said that the daughter of Al-Harith had told him, "When those people gathered (to kill Khubaib) he borrowed a razor from me to shave his pubes and I gave it to him. Then he took a son of mine while I was unaware when he came upon him. I saw him placing my son on his thigh and the razor was in his hand. I got scared so much that Khubaib noticed the agitation on my face and said, 'Are you afraid that I will kill him? No, I will never do so.' By Allah, I never saw a prisoner better than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I saw him eating of a bunch of grapes in his hand while he was chained in irons, and there was no fruit at that time in Mecca." The daughter of Al-Harith used to say, "It was a boon Allah bestowed upon Khubaib." When they took him out of the Sanctuary (of Mecca) to kill him outside its boundaries, Khubaib requested them to let him offer two rakʿat (prayer). They allowed him and he offered Two rakʿat and then said, "Hadn't I been afraid that you would think that I was afraid (of being killed), I would have prolonged the prayer. O Allah, kill them all with no exception." (He then recited the poetic verse):-- "I being martyred as a Muslim, Do not mind how I am killed in Allah's Cause, For my killing is for Allah's Sake, And if Allah wishes, He will bless the amputated parts of a torn body" Then the son of Al Harith killed him. So, it was Khubaib who set the tradition for any Muslim sentenced to death in captivity, to offer a two-rakʿat prayer (before being killed). Allah fulfilled the invocation of ʿAsim bin Thabit on that very day on which he was martyred. The Prophet ﷺ informed his companions of their news and what had happened to them. Later on when some infidels from Quraish were informed that ʿAsim had been killed, they sent some people to fetch a part of his body (i.e. his head) by which he would be recognized. (That was because) ʿAsim had killed one of their chiefs on the day (of the battle) of Badr. So, a swarm of wasps, resembling a shady cloud, were sent to hover over ʿAsim and protect him from their messenger and thus they could not cut off anything from his flesh.

[Machine] From me is my husband Aus bin As-Saamit, so I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to complain to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ argued with me about it and said, "Fear Allah, for he is your husband and your cousin." I did not leave until the Quran was revealed, "Indeed, Allah has heard the statement of her that disputes with you concerning her husband" [Al-Mujadila: 1]. He said, "He should either free a slave." She said, "He does not have anything to give as charity." He said, "Then let him fast for two consecutive months." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, he is an old man and not capable of fasting." He said, "Then let him feed sixty poor persons." I said, "He does not have anything to give as charity." He said, "I will help him with a basket of dates." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, I will also help him with another basket." He said, "You have done well. Go and feed sixty poor persons with it, and return to your cousin." He said, "The basket contained sixty Sa'a." Abu 'Ali Ar-Rudbary said, "I am Abu Bakr bin Daasah. Abu Dawud narrated to us that Hasan bin Ali narrated to him from Abdul Aziz bin Yahya Al-Harani, from Muhammad bin Salamah, from Ibn Ishaq with this chain of narrators, except that he said, 'The basket contained thirty Sa'a." Abu Dawud said, "This is more correct than the Hadith of Yahya bin Adam." Abu Ali narrated to us, from Abu Bakr, from Abu Dawud, who said, "I read to Ibn Wazeer in Egypt. Bishr bin Bakr narrated to us, from Al-Awza'i, from Ata, from Aws bin Ubada, who mentioned the story of the emancipation of a slave and said, 'Khawilah said, "What would be the use of it by us, by Allah, nobody would serve him except me." He said, "But he does not have anything." He said, "Then let him fast for two consecutive months." She said, "By Allah, if he would not drink three times a day, his vision would be impaired." He said, "Then let him feed sixty poor persons." She said, "From where should we bring food like that?" The Prophet ﷺ called for half a Sa'a of dates, which is thirty Sa'a. He said, "Let him feed sixty poor persons with it and let him return it to you like this."

[Machine] How do you say about a man who finds another man with his wife, should he kill him and you kill him or what should he do? He said, ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that. So Asim came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, a man finds another man with his wife, should he kill him and you kill him or what should he do?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked the questions and criticized them. So Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will not stop until I ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that." So Uwaimir came and said, "O Messenger of Allah, a man finds another man with his wife, should he kill him and you kill him or what should he do?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah has revealed the Quran concerning you and your companion. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded both of them to curse each other with what Allah mentioned in His Book." So he said, "So she cursed him." Then he said, "O Messenger of Allah, if I divorce her, I have wronged her." He said, "So he divorced her, and it was a Sunnah for those who came after them from among the cursing parties." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Be cautious, for if she comes with a child called As'ham, it should be attributed to her. It will darken the two eyes, make the legs skinny, and I do not think Uwaimir except that he will be speaking the truth about her. And if she comes with a child called Uhaymir, it will be as if he is a free-roaming bull and I do not think Uwaimir except that he will be lying about her." He said, "She came with him with a description similar to the one the Messenger of Allah ﷺ attributed to him due to Uwaimir's testimony." He said, "After that, he was traced back to his mother."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said concerning the blood money for accidental killing, "Twenty she-camels, twenty she-goats, twenty female camels that have given birth, twenty female sheep, and twenty she-camels that have given birth." Abu Dawood said that this is the statement of Abdullah, meaning that it was narrated from him as a statement that is attributed to him but not directly attributed to the Prophet ﷺ. Abu Abdur-Rahman As-Sulami and Abu Bakr ibn Al-Harith Al-Faqeeh reported that Abu Al-Hasan Ad-Daraqutni, the Hafiz, stated in explaining this hadith, "We do not know."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي دِيَةِ الْخَطَأِ عِشْرُونَ حِقَّةً وَعِشْرُونَ جَذَعَةً وَعِشْرُونَ ابْنَةَ مَخَاضٍ وَعِشْرُونَ ابْنَةَ لَبُونٍ وَعِشْرُونَ ابْنَ مَخَاضٍ ذُكُرٌ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَعْنِي إِنَّمَا رُوِيَ مِنْ قَوْلِ عَبْدِ اللهِ مَوْقُوفًا غَيْرَ مَرْفُوعٍ 16161 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ قَالَا قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ الْحَافِظُ فِي تَعْلِيلِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ لَا نَعْلَمُ  

The first to speak on Divine decree in al-Basrah was Maʿbad al Juhani. I and Humaid b. ʿAbd al-Rahman al-Himyari proceeded to perform Hajj or ʿUmrah. We said : would that we meet any of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ so that we could ask him about what they say with regard to divine decree. So Allah helped us to meet ʿAbd Allah b. ʿUmar who was entering the mosque. So I and my companion surrounded him, and I thought that my companion would entrust me the task of speaking to him. Then I said : Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman, there appeared on our side some people who recite the Qur'an and are engaged in the hair-splitting of knowledge. They conceive that there is no Divine decree and everything happens freely without predestination. He said : When you meet those people, tell them that I am free from them, and they are free from me. By Him by Whom swears ‘Abd Allah b. ‘Umar, if one of them has gold equivalent to Uhud and he spends it, Allah will not accept it from him until he believes in Divine decree. He then said : ‘Umar b. Khattab transmitted to me a tradition, saying : One day when we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a man with very white clothing and very black hair came up to us. No mark of travel was visible on him, and we did not recognize him. Sitting down beside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, leaning his knees against his and placing his hands on his thighs, he said : tell me, Muhammad, about Islam. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said : Islam means that you should testify that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle, that you should observe prayer, pay Zakat, fast during Ramadan, and perform Hajj to the house (i.e., Kaʿbah), If you have the means to go. He said : You have spoken the truth. We were surprised at his questioning him and then declaring that he spoke the truth. He said : Now tell me about faith. He replied : It means that you should believe in Allah, his angels, his Books, his Apostles and the last day, and that you should believe in the decreeing both of good and evil. He said : You have spoken the truth. He said : now tell me about doing good (ihsan). He replied: It means that you should worship Allah as though you are seeing him; if you are not seeing him, he is seeing you. He said: Now tell me about the hour. He replied : The one who is asked about it is no better informed than the one who is asking. He said : Then tell me about its signs. He replied : That a maidservant should beget her mistress, and that you should see barefooted, naked, poor men and shepherds exalting themselves in buildings. ‘Umar said : He then went away, and I waited for three days, then he said : Do you know who the questioner was, ʿUmar? I replied : Allah and his Apostle know best. He said : He was Gabriel who came to you to teach you your religion. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4695)

Abu Bakr sent for me owing to the large number of casualties in the battle of Al-Yamama, while ʿUmar was sitting with him. Abu Bakr said (to me), ʿUmar has come to my and said, 'A great number of Qaris of the Holy Qur'an were killed on the day of the battle of Al-Yamama, and I am afraid that the casualties among the Qaris of the Qur'an may increase on other battle-fields whereby a large part of the Qur'an may be lost. Therefore I consider it advisable that you (Abu Bakr) should have the Qur'an collected.' I said, 'How dare I do something which Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not do?' ʿUmar said, By Allah, it is something beneficial.' ʿUmar kept on pressing me for that till Allah opened my chest for that for which He had opened the chest of ʿUmar and I had in that matter, the same opinion as ʿUmar had." Abu Bakr then said to me (Zaid), "You are a wise young man and we do not have any suspicion about you, and you used to write the Divine Inspiration for Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So you should search for the fragmentary scripts of the Qur'an and collect it (in one Book)." Zaid further said: By Allah, if Abu Bakr had ordered me to shift a mountain among the mountains from one place to another it would not have been heavier for me than this ordering me to collect the Qur'an. Then I said (to ʿUmar and Abu Bakr), "How can you do something which Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not do?" Abu Bakr said, "By Allah, it is something beneficial." Zaid added: So he (Abu Bakr) kept on pressing me for that until Allah opened my chest for that for which He had opened the chests of Abu Bakr and ʿUmar, and I had in that matter, the same opinion as theirs. So I started compiling the Qur'an by collecting it from the leafless stalks of the date-palm tree and from the pieces of leather and hides and from the stones, and from the chests of men (who had memorized the Qur'an). I found the last verses of Sirat-at-Tauba: ("Verily there has come unto you an Apostle (Muhammad) from amongst yourselves--' (9.128-129) ) from Khuzaʿima or Abi Khuzaʿima and I added to it the rest of the Sura. The manuscripts of the Qur'an remained with Abu Bakr till Allah took him unto Him. Then it remained with ʿUmar till Allah took him unto Him, and then with Hafsa bint ʿUmar.

[Machine] He spent four years waiting, and when the four years passed, she came to him and informed him. So, he asked her people, and they said yes. So, he ordered her to get married, and she got married. Then her husband came to argue about it with Umar ibn al-Khattab. Umar ibn al-Khattab said to him, "One of you disappears for a long time, and his family does not know if he is alive or not." He said, "I have an excuse, O Commander of the Faithful." Umar asked, "What is your excuse?" He said, "I went out to pray Isha prayer, and the jinn harmed me, and I stayed with them for a long time. Then a group of believing jinn or Muslim jinn fought against them, and Sa'id doubted them, so they fought against them, and they captured some of them as captives. They captured me along with them. They said, "We see that you are a Muslim man, and it is not permissible for us to capture you as a captive." So, they gave me the choice to stay with them or return to my family. I chose to return to my family, and they accompanied me. At night, they do not speak to me, and during the day, I follow the scent of the wind." Umar asked, "What did you eat with them?" He said, "Fava beans, and the name of Allah was not mentioned upon it." Umar asked, "What did you drink with them?" He said, "Fermented barley." Qatadah said, "Fermented barley is what is not made into alcohol." Umar gave him the choice between divorce and keeping her. Sa'id chose divorce, and Umar gave him the dowry from the treasury. Abu Hurayrah reported from Abu Sa'id that Umar said, "If her husband comes after she has been married in her dowry and in the dowry of the other woman, then if he chooses the dowry, the first husband has no way to her. And if he chooses his wife, she should observe her iddah until it has ended, then return to her first husband, and her dowry from the first husband is what he made lawful for her from his private parts." Ibn Shihab said, "Uthman decided this after Umar, and Malik ibn Anas disapproved of narrating from someone who narrated from Umar about the choice. Abu Ahmad al-Mihrajani reported from Abu Bakr ibn Ja'far from Muhammad ibn

[Machine] A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have given myself to you." So she stood up for a long time. Then a man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, marry her to me if you do not need her." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you have anything that you can give her as a dowry?" He said, "I only have my waistcloth." So the Prophet ﷺ said, "If you give it to her, you will have to sit without a waistcloth. So seek something else." He said, "I cannot find anything." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Seek something, even if it is an iron ring." So he searched but did not find anything. Then the Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Do you have anything from the Quran?" He said, "Yes, I have Surah So-and-So and Surah So-and-So." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I have married her to you with what you have from the Quran."

[Machine] Abdullah bin Sahl Al-Ansari and Muhaysah bin Masood went out to Khaybar, but they separated for their own needs. Abdullah bin Sahl was killed, and then Abdulrahman bin Sahl, Huwayshah, and Muhaysah bin Masood went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Abdulrahman, the brother of the deceased, came forward to speak. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Hold on, hold on." Huwayshah and Muhaysah then spoke of the incident of Abdullah bin Sahl. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked them, "Do any of you swear by Allah that you saw the killer or his companion?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we were not present, and we did not witness." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then the Jews will clear you of guilt by taking fifty oaths from you." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, how can we accept oaths from disbelievers?" The Prophet ﷺ then accepted their request.  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ خَرَجَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ فَتَفَرَّقَا لِحَاجَتِهِمَا فَقُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ فَجَاءَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ ابْنَا مَسْعُودٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ أَخُو الْمَقْتُولِ لَيَتَكَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْكِبَرَ الْكِبَرَ فَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ فَذَكَرَا لَهُ شَأْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَيَحْلِفُ مِنْكُمْ خَمْسُونَ فَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ قَاتِلَكُمْ أَوْ صَاحِبَكُمْ؟ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ نَحْضُرْ وَلَمْ نَشْهَدْ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ نَقْبَلُ أَيْمَانَ قَوْمٍ كُفَّارٍ؟ قَالَ فَعَقَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ  

[Machine] From men of his people, they said: Those who formed the coalition were a group from the Bani Nadir and a group from the Bani Wa'il. From the Bani Nadir were Huwayy bin Akhtab and Kinanah bin al-Rabi' bin Abu al-Huqayq, and Abu Ammar. From the Bani Wa'il was Hayy from the Ansar of the Aws, and Hawh bin 'Amr, and men from among them set out until they arrived in the vicinity of the Quraysh. They invited them to go to war against the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and they eagerly agreed to that. Then the story is mentioned about the departure of Abu Sufyan bin Harb and the coalition. He said: Hayy bin Akhtab set out until he reached Ka'b bin Asad, a leader of the Bani Qurayzah, with his covenant and confirmed the agreement. When Ka'b heard of him, he closed his fortress to him. Hayy said to him: O Ka'b, open for me so that I may come to you. Ka'b said to him: Woe to you, O Hayy. You are a man who brings bad luck. I have no need for you or what you have come to me with. I have not seen anything from Muhammad except truthfulness and loyalty, and he has treated me with honor. So leave me alone and go away from me. Hayy said: By Allah, if you close your fortress to me, it is only out of fear that I will eat with you from it. So keep it safe and he opened it for him. When he entered upon him, Hayy said to him: Woe to you, O Ka'b. I have come to you with the might of fate, with the Quraysh and their leaders and I put it down until I brought it down to Rawma. And I have come to you with Ghatafan and their leaders until I brought them down beside Uhud. And I have come to you with a vast sea that nothing can return. Ka'b said to him: You have come to me by Allah in humiliation. Leave me alone, for I have no need for you or what you invite me to. Hayy bin Akhtab did not stop enticing him, both in word and action, until Ka'b finally succumbed to him and gave him his covenant and agreement, saying: If the Quraysh and Ghatafan retreat before they inflict harm upon Muhammad, I will enter with you into your fortress until I suffer what has befallen you. So Ka'b broke his covenant and publicly declared his innocence from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , even though there was no enmity between them. Ibn Ishaq said: Asim bin 'Umar bin Qatadah narrated to me, saying: When the news of Ka'b's actions and the breaking of the Bani Qurayzah's covenant reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he sent Sa'd bin 'Ubada, Sa'd bin Mu'adh, Khawwat bin Jubayr, and 'Abdullah bin Rawaha to find out about their news. When they arrived, they found them in the worst state possible. Ibn Ishaq said: Asim bin 'Umar bin Qatadah narrated to me from a sheikh of the Bani Qurayzah, who mentioned the story of the reason for the Islam of Tha'laba and Usaid bin Saeed and Asad bin 'Ubayd and their descent from the fortress of the Bani Qurayzah and their Islam. 'Amru bin Su'adah al-Qurazi came out that night, as Ibn Ishaq claimed. He passed by the guards of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and upon him was Muhammad bin Maslamah that night. When the guards saw him, they asked: Who is this? He said: I am 'Amru bin Su'adah. 'Amru had refused to enter with the Bani Qurayzah in their treachery and had said: I will never betray Muhammad. Muhammad bin Maslamah said: When Allah made him known to me, I said: O Allah, do not deprive me of the stumble of the noble ones. Then he let him go and he went until he spent the night in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then he left and no one knew where he had gone from the earth. Then his affair was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said: This is a man whom Allah saved by his faithfulness. And Musa bin 'Uqbah mentioned him in this story, that Hayy did not stop enticing them until they agreed to engage in treachery against a man other than Asad, Usayd and Tha'laba. And they went out to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .

"عَنِ المسور بن مخرمة قال: خرجنا حُجاجًا مع عمر بن الخطاب فنزلنا منزلًا بطريق مكة يقال له: الأبواء، فإذا نحن بشيخ على قارعة الطريق فقال الشيخ: يأيها الركب قفوا فقال عمر: قفوا؛ فوقفنا، فقال [عمر: قل يا شيخ! قال: ] أفيكم رسول اللَّه ﷺ ؟ فقال عمر: أمسكوا لا يتكلمَّن أحد. ثم قال: أتعقل يا شيخ؟ قال: العقل ساقنى إلى ههنا، ثم قال: توفى النبى ﷺ . قال: وقد تُوفى ﷺ ؟ قال: نعم، فبكى حتى ظننا أن نفسه ستخرج من جنبيه، ثم قال: فمن ولى أمر الأمة من بعده؟ قال: أبو بكر، قال: نحيف بنى تميم؟ قال: نعم، قال: أفيكم هو؟ قال لا، قال: وقد تُوفى؟ قال: نعم، فبكى حتى سمعنا لبكائه شحيجا، ثم قال: فمن ولى أمر الأمة بعده؟ قال: عمر بن الخطاب، قال: فأين كانوا عن أبيضَ بنى أميةَ؟ -يريد عثمانَ بنَ عفان-

فإنه كان أَلْيَنَ جانبا وأقربَ؟ قال: قد كان ذاك، قال: إن كانت صداقة عمر لأبى بكر لمسلمة إلى خير أفيكم هو؟ قال: هو الذى يكلمك منذ اليوم، قال: أغثنى؛ فإنى لم أجد مغيثًا، قال: ومن أنت؟ بلغك الغوث، قال: أنا أبو عقيل أحد بنى مليل لقيت رسول اللَّه ﷺ على ردهة بنى جعل، دعانِى إلى الإسلام فآمنت به وصدقت بما جاء به، سقانِى شربة من سويق، شرب رسول اللَّه ﷺ أولها وشربت آخرها، فما برحت أجد شبعها إذا جعت، ورِيِّها إذا عطشت، وبردها إذا أصبحت، ثم تَيَمَّمْتُ رأس الأبيض أنا وقطعة غنم لِى، أصلى في يومى وليلتى خمس صلوات، وأصوم شهرًا وهو رمضان، وأذبح شاة لعشر ذى الحجة، أنسك بها، ذاك علمى حتى ألفت بها السنة فما أبقت لنا منها إلا شاة واحدة، كنا ننتفع بدرها فَغَبَنَهَا الذيب البارحة الأولى، فأدركنا ذكاتها، فأكلنا وبلغناك ببعض فأغث أغاثك اللَّه، فقال عمر: الغوث بلغك، الغوث. الغوث، أدركنى على الماء، قال المسور ابن مخرمة: فنزلنا المنزل، وأفضنا من فضل زادنا وكأنى أنظر إلى عمر مُتْعَبًا على قارعة الطريق، آخذًا بزمام ناقته لُمْ يطعم طعاما، ننتظر الشيخ وَنَرْمُقهُ، فلما رحل الناس دعا عمر صاحب الماء، فوصف له الشيخ وجلاه له وقال: إذا أتى عليك فأنفق عنيه وعلى آله حتى أعود إليك إن شاء اللَّه، قال المسور: فقضينا حجنا وانصرفنا، فلما نزلنا المنزل، دعا عمر صاحب الماء فقال: أحَسَسْتَ الشيخ؟ قال: نعم يا أمير المؤمنين، الماء لِى وهو مُوعَكٌ، فمرض عندى ثلاثا، فمات ودفنته، وهذا قبره، فَكَأَنِّى أنظر إلى عمر وقد وثب مباعدا بين خطاه حتى وقف على القبر فصلى عليه، ثم اضطجع وبكى حتى سمعنا لبكائه شَحِيجًا، ثم قال: كره اللَّه له منَّتَكمُ وسبق به، واختار له ما عنده إن شاء اللَّه، ثم أمر بأهله فحملوا معه، فلم يزل ينفق عليهم حتى قبض".  

"الواقدى: حدثنى عبد الله بن جعفر بن عبد الرحمن بن أزهر بن عوف، عن الزهرى، عن عروة، عن أسامة بن زيد أن النبى ﷺ أمره أن يغير على أهل "أُبْنَى" صباحًا وأن يُحَرِّق، قالوا: ثُمَّ قال رسول الله ﷺ لأسامة: امْضِ عَلى اسْمِ اللهِ: فَخَرَجَ بِلِوَائِهِ مَعْقُودًا فدَفَعَهُ إِلى بُريْدَةَ بْنِ الْحَصِيبِ الأَسْلَمِىِّ، فخرَجَ بِهِ إِلى بَيْتِ أُسَامَةَ، وَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَسْكَرَ بَالْجَرفِ وَضَرَبَ عَسْكَرَهُ في مَوضِعِ سِقَايَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ اليَوْمَ، وَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يُوَحَّدُونَ بِالْخُرُوجِ إِلَى العَسْكَرِ، فَيَخْرُجُ مَنْ فَرغَ مِنْ حَاجَتِهِ إِلَى مُعَسْكَرِهِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَقْضِ حَاجَتَهُ فَهُوَ عَلَى فَرَاغٍ، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ المُهَاجِرِينَ الأَوَّلِينَ إِلَا انْتُدِبَ فِى تِلْكَ الغَزْوَةِ: عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، وأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ، وَسَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِى وَقَّاصِ، وَأَبُو الأَعْوَرِ سعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ فِى رِجَالٍ مِنَ المُهَاجِرينَ وَالأَنْصَارِ عِدَّةً: قَتَادَةُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ، وَسَلَمَةُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ بْنِ حُرَيْشٍ، فَقَالَ رِجَالٌ مِنَ المُهَاجِرِينَ - وَكَانَ أشَدَّهُمْ فِى ذَلِكَ قَوْلًا عَيَّاشُ بْنُ أَبِى رَبِيعَةَ: يَسْتَعْمِلُ هَذَا الْغُلام عَلَى الْمُهاجِرِينَ الأَوَّلِينَ؟ ! فَكَثُرَتِ القَالَةُ فِى ذَلِكَ، فَسَمِعَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطَّابِ بَعْضَ ذَلِكَ القَوْلِ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ، وَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِقَوْلِ مَنْ قَالَ، فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غَضَبًا شَديدًا، فَخَرَجَ وَقَدْ عَصَبَ عَلَى رَأسِهِ عِصَابَةً وَعَليْهِ قَطِيفَة، ثُمَّ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَمَا مَقَالَةٌ بَلَغَتْنِى عَنْ بَعْضِكُمْ فِى تَأمِيرِى أُسَامَةَ؟ ! وَاللهِ لَئِنْ طَعَنْتُمْ فِى إِمَارَتِى أُسَامَةَ لَقَدْ طَعَنْتُمْ فِى إِمَارَتِى أَبَاهُ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ، وَايْمُ اللهِ أَنْ كَانَ للإِمَارَةِ لَخَلِيقٌ، وَإِنَّ ابْنَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ لَخَلِيقٌ للإِمَارَةِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لَمِنْ أَحَبَّ النَّاسِ إِلَىَّ، وَإِنَّ هَذَا لَمِنْ أَحَبِّ النَّاسِ إِلَىَّ، وَإِنَّهُمَا لَمُخِيلَانِ لِكُلَّ خَيْرٍ، فَاسْتَوْصُوا بِهِ خَيْرًا؛ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ خِيَارِكُمْ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ وَذَلِكَ ليَوْمِ السَّبْتِ لِعَشْرِ لَيَالٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنْ رَبِيع الأَوَّلِ، وَجَاءَ المُسْلِمُونَ الَّذِينَ يَخْرُجُونَ مَعَ أُسَامَةَ يُوَدَّعُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِيِهِمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطَّابِ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: أَنْفِذُوا بَعْثَ أُسَامَةَ، وَدَخَلَتْ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ فَقَالَتْ: أَى رَسُولَ اللهِ: لَوْ تَرَكْت أُسَامَةَ يُقِيمُ فِى مُعَسْكَرِهِ حَتَّى يَتَمَاثَلَ؛ فَإِنَّ أُسَامَةَ إِنْ خَرَجَ عَلَى حَالِهِ هَذِهِ لَمْ يَنْتَفِعْ بِنَفْسِهِ،

حُرَيثًا، فخرج على صدر راحلته أمامه فغزى حتى انتهى إلى أُبْنَى فنظر إلى ما هناك وارْتَادَ الطريقَ، ثم رجع سريعًا حتى لقى أسامةَ على مسيرةِ ليلتين مِنْ أُبْنَى فَأَخْبَرَهُ أن الناس غَارونَ وَلَا جُمُوعَ لهم، وأمره أن يسرع السير قبل أن يجمع الجموع وأن يَشُنَّهَا غَارَةً".

" عَنْ عَبدِ العَزيزِ الزُّهرِىِّ، عَنْ محمد بنِ عبدِ الله بن عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّه عَمْرِو بنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: كَان إسْلاَمُ عُثْمَانَ بنِ عَفَّانَ فِيما حَدَّثَنا عَنْ نَفْسِه، قَالَ: كنتُ رَجُلًا مُسْتَهْتَرًا (*) بِالنِّساء، فَإِنِّى ذَاتَ يَومٍ بِفِنَاءِ الكَعْبَةِ قَاعِدٌ فِى رَهْطٍ مِنْ قُرَيشٍ إذْ أُتينا فَقِيلَ لنَا: إنَّ مُحَمَّدًا أَنكَحَ عُتْبَةَ بنَ أَبِى لَهَبٍ مِنْ رُقَيَّةَ ابْنَتِهِ، وَكَانَتْ رُقَيَّةُ ذَاتَ جَمَالٍ رَائِعٍ، قَالَ عُثْمَانُ: فَدَخَلتْنِى الحِدَّةُ (* *) لما لاَ أَكُونُ أَنَا سَبَقْتُ إلَى ذَلِك؟ فَلَم ألْبَثْ أَنِ انْصَرَفْتُ إلَى مَنزِلِى، فَأصَبْتُ خَالَةً لِى قَاعِدَةً وَهى سُعْدَى بِنْتُ كُرَيزِ بنِ رَبيعةَ بنِ حَبِيبِ بن عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ، وَكَانَتْ قَد طَرَقَتْ وَتَلهفتْ عِنْدَ قَومِها، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْنِى قَالَتْ:

أبْشِرْ وَحُيِّيتَ ثَلاَثًا تَتْرَى ... ثُم ثَلاَثَا وَثَلاَثَا أُخْرَى

ثم بَأخْرى لِى تَتِمُّ عَشْرًا ... أَتاكَ خَيْرٌ ووقيتَ شَرّا

أُنْكحْتَ والله حَصَانًا زَهْرَا ... وَأَنْتَ بِكْرٌ وَلَقَيتَ بِكْرًا

وَافَيْتَها بِنْتَ عَظِيمٍ قَدْرًا ... بِنتَ امرَئٍ لقَدْ أَشَادَ ذِكْرًا

قَالَ عُثْمَانُ: فَعَجِبْتُ مِن قَوْلِهَا، وقُلتُ: يَا خَالَةُ! مَا تَقُولِين؟ فَقَالَت: -

لَكَ الَجَمالُ وَلَكَ اللِّسَانُ ... هَذا نَبيٌّ مَعَهُ البُرْهَانُ

هَدَى الله عُثمانًا بَقَوْلٍ إلَى الهُدَى ... وَأَرْشَدَهُ والله يَهْدى إلَى الحَقِّ

فَتَابَع بالرَّأى السَّديدِ مُحَمدًا ... وَكَان بَرَأْى لاَ يصَدُّ عَنِ الصِّدْقِ

وَأنْكَحَهُ المبعوثُ بالحقِّ بنتَهُ ... فَكَانَ كَبَدْرٍ مَازَجَ الشَّمسَ فِى الأُفْقِ

فَدِاؤُك يَا بنَ الهَاشِميينَ مُهْجَتِى ... وَأَنْتَ أَمينُ الله أُرسلْتَ فِى الخَلْقِ".  

"عن زَاذَانَ قال: بَيْنا النَّاس ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ عِنْدَ عَلِىٍّ إذْ وَافقوا منه نَفْسًا طيِّبةً فقالوا: حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ أَصْحَابِكَ يا أَمِيرَ المؤمنين، قال: عنْ أىِّ أَصْحَابِى؟ قالوا: عن أَصحاب النبىِّ ﷺ ، قال: كلُّ أَصْحَاب النبىِّ ﷺ أَصْحَابِى فَأيَّهُمْ تُرِيدُونَ؟ قالوا: النَّفَرَ الَّذى رَأَيناكَ تُلطفهم بِذِكرِكَ والصَّلاةِ عَلَيهم دُونَ اليَوم، قال: أَيُّهم؟ قالوا: عبد الله بن مسعود، قال: عَلِمَ السنَّةَ وقرأ القرآنَ، وَكَفى بهِ عِلمًا، ثم ختم به عِنْدَهُ فَلم يَدرُوا ما يريد بقوله: كفَى بِه عِلمًا بِعَبْدِ اللهِ أَمْ كفى بالقرآنِ، قالوا: فحذيفة؟ قال: عَلِمَ أو عُلِّم أسماءَ المنافقين، وَسَألَ عَنِ المعْضِلاَتِ حتَّى عَقَل عَنْها، قَال: سَألتُموهُ عَنْها تَجِدُوه بِهَا عالمًا، قَالُوا: فَأبو ذر، قال: وعاء وعى علمًا، وكَانَ شَحِيحًا حَريصًا شَحِيحًا على العلم، وَكَانَ يُكْثِرُ السُّؤَالَ فَيُعْطَى ويُمْنَع، أمَا إِنَّه قد ملئ له في وِعَائهِ حَتَّى امْتَلأَ، قَالُوا: فَسَلمَانُ؟ قَالَ: امْرُؤٌ منا وإلينا أَهْلَ الَبيْتِ، مَنْ لكُمْ بِمثلِ لُقْمان الحَكِيم عَلمَ العِلمَ الأوَّلَ وَأَدْرَك العِلمَ الآخِرَ، وَقَرأَ الكِتَابَ الأوَلَ وَالكِتَابَ الآخَرَ، وَكَانَ بَحرًا لا ينَزَف، قَالُوا: لِعَمَّارِ بن يَاسِر، قَالَ: ذَاك امْرُؤ خَلطَ الله الإِيمانَ بلَحْمهِ وَدَمِهِ وَعَظمِهِ وَشَعْرِهِ وَبَشَرِهِ، لاَ يُفَارِقُ الحقَّ ساعةً، حَيْثُ زَالَ زَالَ مَعَه، لاَ يَنْبِغى لِلنَّارِ أَنْ تَأكُلَ منه شَيئًا، قَالُوا: فَحدِّثْنَا عَنْكَ يَا أميرَ المؤْمِنِينَ، قَال: مَهلًا، نَهى الله عَنِ التَّزكية، فَقَال قَائِل: إِنَّ الله - عَزَ وجَل - يَقُولُ: {وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ} قَالَ: فَإنِّي أُحَدِّثَكُمْ بِنعْمةِ ربِّى: كنْتُ إِذَا سُئلتُ أعْطَيتُ، وَإذَا سَكَت ابْتَديتُ فبين الجوَارِح مِنِّى مُلِئَ عِلما جمّا، فَقَامَ عَبدُ الله بن الكواءِ

"عَنْ أبِى مُوسَى قَالَ: أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ الله ﷺ أَنْ نَنْطَلِقَ مَعَ جَعْفَر بن أبِى طَالِب إِلَى أَرْضِ النَجَاشِى، فَبَلَغ ذَلِكَ قَوْمنَا، فَبَعَثُوا عَمْرو بن العَاص وَعِمارَة بن الوَلِيد وَجَمعوا لِلنجَاشِى هَدِيَةً، فَقَدِمْنَا وَقَدِمَا عَلَى النَّجَاشِى، فَأَتوهُ بِهَدِيتَّه فَقَبِلَهَا وَسَجَدُوا
