Once I set out to visit ʿUmar (bin Al-Khattab). (While I was sitting there with him his gate-keeper, Yarfa, came and said, "Uthman ʿAbdurRahman (bin ʿAuf), Az-Zubair and Saʿd (bin Abi Waqqas) are seeking permission (to meet you)." ʿUmar said, "Yes. So he admitted them and they entered, greeted, and sat down. After a short while Yarfa came again and said to ʿUmar 'Shall I admit ʿAli and ʿAbbas?" ʿUmar said, "Yes." He admitted them and when they entered, they greeted and sat down. ʿAbbas said, "O Chief of the Believers! Judge between me and this (ʿAli)." The group, ʿUthman and his companions Saʿd, 'O Chief of the Believers! Judge between them and relieve one from the other." ʿUmar said. Wait! I beseech you by Allah, by Whose permission both the Heaven and the Earth stand fast ! Do you know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said. 'We (Apostles) do not bequeath anything to our heirs, but whatever we leave is to be given in charity.' And by that Messenger of Allah ﷺs meant himself?" The group said, "He did say so." ʿUmar then turned towards 'All and ʿAbbas and said. "I beseech you both by Allah, do you know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that?" They said, 'Yes " ʿUmar said, "Now, let me talk to you about this matter. Allah favored His Apostle with something of this property (war booty) which He did not give to anybody else. And Allah said:-- 'And what Allah has bestowed on His Apostle (as Fai Booty) from them for which you made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry . . . Allah is Able to do all things.' (59.6) So this property was especially granted to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. But by Allah he neither withheld it from you, nor did he keep it for himself and deprive you of it, but he gave it all to you and distributed it among you till only this remained out of it. And out of this property Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to provide his family with their yearly needs, and whatever remained, he would spend where Allah's Property (the revenues of Zakat) used to be spent. Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept on acting like this throughout his lifetime. Now I beseech you by Allah, do you know that?" They said, "Yes." Then ʿUmar said to ʿAli and ʿAbbas, "I beseech you by Allah, do you both know that?" They said, "Yes." ʿUmar added, "When Allah had taken His Apostle unto Him, Abu Bakr said, 'I am the successor of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So he took charge of that property and did with it the same what Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do, and both of you knew all about it then." Then ʿUmar turned towards ʿAli and ʿAbbas and said, "You both claim that Abu- Bakr was so-and-so! But Allah knows that he was honest, sincere, pious and right (in that matter). Then Allah caused Abu Bakr to die, and I said, 'I am the successor of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr.' So I kept this property in my possession for the first two years of my rule, and I used to do the same with it as Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr used to do. Later both of you (ʿAli and ʿAbbas) came to me with the same claim and the same problem. (O ʿAbbas!) You came to me demanding your share from (the inheritance of) the son of your brother, and he (ʿAli) came to me demanding his wives share from (the inheritance of) her father. So I said to you, 'If you wish I will hand over this property to you, on condition that you both promise me before Allah that you will manage it in the same way as Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr did, and as I have done since the beginning of my rule; otherwise you should not speak to me about it.' So you both said, 'Hand over this property to us on this condition.' And on this condition I handed it over to you. I beseech you by Allah, did I hand it over to them on that condition?" The group said, "Yes." ʿUmar then faced ʿAli and ʿAbbas and said, "I beseech you both by Allah, did I hand it over to you both on that condition?" They both said, "Yes." ʿUmar added, "Do you want me now to give a decision other than that? By Him with Whose permission (order) both the Heaven and the Earth stand fast, I will never give any decision other than that till the Hour is established! But if you are unable to manage it (that property), then return it to me and I will be sufficient for it on your behalf . "

Some people said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He said, "Do you crowd and squeeze each other on looking at the sun when it is not hidden by clouds?" They replied, "No, Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said, "Do you crowd and squeeze each other on looking at the moon when it is full and not hidden by clouds?" They replied, No, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" He said, "So you will see Him (your Lord) on the Day of Resurrection similarly Allah will gather all the people and say, 'Whoever used to worship anything should follow that thing. 'So, he who used to worship the sun, will follow it, and he who used to worship the moon will follow it, and he who used to worship false deities will follow them; and then only this nation (i.e., Muslims) will remain, including their hypocrites. Allah will come to them in a shape other than they know and will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'We seek refuge with Allah from you. This is our place; (we will not follow you) till our Lord comes to us, and when our Lord comes to us, we will recognize Him. Then Allah will come to then in a shape they know and will say, "I am your Lord.' They will say, '(No doubt) You are our Lord,' and they will follow Him. Then a bridge will be laid over the (Hell) Fire." Messenger of Allah ﷺ added, "I will be the first to cross it. And the invocation of the Apostles on that Day, will be 'Allahumma Sallim, Sallim (O Allah, save us, save us!),' and over that bridge there will be hooks Similar to the thorns of As Sa'dan (a thorny tree). Didn't you see the thorns of As-Sa'dan?" The companions said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He added, "So the hooks over that bridge will be like the thorns of As-Sa-dan except that their greatness in size is only known to Allah. These hooks will snatch the people according to their deeds. Some people will be ruined because of their evil deeds, and some will be cut into pieces and fall down in Hell, but will be saved afterwards, when Allah has finished the judgments among His slaves, and intends to take out of the Fire whoever He wishes to take out from among those who used to testify that none had the right to be worshipped but Allah. We will order the angels to take them out and the angels will know them by the mark of the traces of prostration (on their foreheads) for Allah banned the f ire to consume the traces of prostration on the body of Adam's son. So they will take them out, and by then they would have burnt (as coal), and then water, called Ma'ul Hayat (water of life) will be poured on them, and they will spring out like a seed springs out on the bank of a rainwater stream, and there will remain one man who will be facing the (Hell) Fire and will say, 'O Lord! It's (Hell's) vapor has Poisoned and smoked me and its flame has burnt me; please turn my face away from the Fire.' He will keep on invoking Allah till Allah says, 'Perhaps, if I give you what you want), you will ask for another thing?' The man will say, 'No, by Your Power, I will not ask You for anything else.' Then Allah will turn his face away from the Fire. The man will say after that, 'O Lord, bring me near the gate of Paradise.' Allah will say (to him), 'Didn't you promise not to ask for anything else? Woe to you, O son of Adam ! How treacherous you are!' The man will keep on invoking Allah till Allah will say, 'But if I give you that, you may ask me for something else.' The man will say, 'No, by Your Power. I will not ask for anything else.' He will give Allah his covenant and promise not to ask for anything else after that. So Allah will bring him near to the gate of Paradise, and when he sees what is in it, he will remain silent as long as Allah will, and then he will say, 'O Lord! Let me enter Paradise.' Allah will say, 'Didn't you promise that you would not ask Me for anything other than that? Woe to you, O son of Adam ! How treacherous you are!' On that, the man will say, 'O Lord! Do not make me the most wretched of Your creation,' and will keep on invoking Allah till Allah will smile and when Allah will smile because of him, then He will allow him to enter Paradise, and when he will enter Paradise, he will be addressed, 'Wish from so-and-so.' He will wish till all his wishes will be fulfilled, then Allah will say, All this (i.e. what you have wished for) and as much again therewith are for you.' " Abu Huraira added: That man will be the last of the people of Paradise to enter (Paradise).

That Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode over a donkey covered with a Fadakiya (velvet sheet) and Usama was riding behind him. He was visiting Saʿd bin 'Ubada (who was sick) in the dwelling place of Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj and this incident happened before the battle of Badr. They proceeded till they passed by a gathering in which ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present., and that was before ʿAbdullah bin Ubat embraced Islam. In that gathering there were Muslims, pagan idolators and Jews, and among the Muslims there was ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha. When a cloud of dust raised by (the movement of ) the animal covered that gathering, ʿAbdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his garment and said, "Do not cover us with dust." Messenger of Allah ﷺ greeted them, stopped, 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 Salul said to him, "O man! There is nothing better than what you say, if it is the truth. So do not trouble us with it in our gatherings, but if somebody comes to you, you can preach to him." On that ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha said "Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Call on us in our gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing one another till they were about to fight with one another. Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept on quietening them till all of them became quiet, and then Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode his animal and proceeded till he entered upon Saʿd bin 'Ubada. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Saʿd! Didn't you hear what Abu Habab said?" (meaning ʿAbdullah bin Unbar). "He said so-and-so." Saʿd bin Ubada said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Let my father be sacrificed for you ! Excuse and forgive him for, by Him Who revealed to you the Book, Allah sent the Truth which was revealed to you at the time when the people of this town had decided to crown him (ʿAbdullah bin Ubai) as their ruler. So when Allah had prevented that with the Truth He had given you, he was choked by that, and that caused him to behave in such an impolite manner which you had noticed." So Messenger of Allah ﷺ excused him. (It was the custom of) Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions to excuse the pagans and the people of the scripture (Christians and Jews) as Allah ordered them, and they used to be patient when annoyed (by them). Allah said: 'You shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the Scripture before you.....and from the pagans (3.186) He also said: 'Many of the people of the scripture wish that if they could turn you away as disbelievers after you have believed. .... (2.109) So Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to apply what Allah had ordered him by excusing them till he was allowed to fight against them. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ had fought the battle of Badr and Allah killed whomever He killed among the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of Quraish, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions had returned with victory and booty, bringing with them some of the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of the Quraish as captives. ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul and the pagan idolators who were with him, said, "This matter (Islam) has now brought out its face (triumphed), so give Messenger of Allah ﷺ the pledge of allegiance (for embracing Islam.)". Then they became Muslims.

Abu ʿAbdur-Rahman and Hibban bin 'Atiyya had a dispute. Abu ʿAbdur-Rahman said to Hibban, "You know what made your companions (i.e. ʿAli) dare to shed blood." Hibban said, "Come on! What is that?" ʿAbdur-Rahman said, "Something I heard him saying." The other said, "What was it?" ʿAbdurRahman said, "ʿAli said, Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for me, Az-Zubair and Abu Marthad, and all of us were cavalry men, and said, 'Proceed to Raudat-Hajj (Abu Salama said that Abu 'Awana called it like this, i.e., Hajj where there is a woman carrying a letter from Hatib bin Abi Balta'a to the pagans (of Mecca). So bring that letter to me.' So we proceeded riding on our horses till we overtook her at the same place of which Messenger of Allah ﷺ had told us. She was traveling on her camel. In that letter Hatib had written to the Meccans about the proposed attached of Messenger of Allah ﷺ against them. We asked her, "Where is the letter which is with you?' She replied, 'I haven't got any letter.' So we made her camel kneel down and searched her luggage, but we did not find anything. My two companions said, 'We do not think that she has got a letter.' I said, 'We know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ has not told a lie.'" Then ʿAli took an oath saying, "By Him by Whom one should swear! You shall either bring out the letter or we shall strip off your clothes." She then stretched out her hand for her girdle (round her waist) and brought out the paper (letter). They took the letter to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. ʿUmar said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! (Hatib) has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers; let me chop off his neck!" Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Hatib! What obliged you to do what you have done?" Hatib replied, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Why (for what reason) should I not believe in Allah and His Apostle? But I intended to do the (Mecca) people a favor by virtue of which my family and property may be protected as there is none of your companions but has some of his people (relatives) whom Allah urges to protect his family and property." The Prophet ﷺ said, "He has said the truth; therefore, do not say anything to him except good." ʿUmar again said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! He has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers; let me chop his neck off!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Isn't he from those who fought the battle of Badr? And what do you know, Allah might have looked at them (Badr warriors) and said (to them), 'Do what you like, for I have granted you Paradise?' " On that, ʿUmar's eyes became flooded with tears and he said, "Allah and His Apostle know best."

I proceeded till I entered upon ʿUmar (and while I was sitting there), his gate-keeper Yarfa came to him and said, " ʿUthman, ʿAbdur-Rahman, Az-Zubair and Saʿd ask your permission to come in." ʿUmar allowed them. So they entered, greeted, and sat down. (After a while the gatekeeper came) and said, "Shall I admit ʿAli and ʿAbbas?'' ʿUmar allowed them to enter. Al-ʿAbbas said "O Chief of the believers! Judge between me and the oppressor (ʿAli)." Then there was a dispute (regarding the property of Bani Nadir) between them (ʿAbbas and ʿAli). ʿUthman and his companions said, "O Chief of the Believers! Judge between them and relieve one from the other." ʿUmar said, "Be patient! beseech you by Allah, with Whose permission the Heaven and the Earth Exist! Do you know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Our property is not to be inherited, and whatever we leave is to be given in charity,' and by this Messenger of Allah ﷺ meant himself?" On that the group said, "He verily said so." ʿUmar then faced ʿAli and ʿAbbas and said, "I beseech you both by Allah, do you both know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said so?" They both replied, "Yes". ʿUmar then said, "Now I am talking to you about this matter (in detail) . Allah favored Messenger of Allah ﷺ with some of this wealth which He did not give to anybody else, as Allah said: 'What Allah bestowed as Fai (Booty on His Apostle for which you made no expedition... ' (59.6) So that property was totally meant for Messenger of Allah ﷺ, yet he did not collect it and ignore you, nor did he withhold it with your exclusion, but he gave it to you and distributed it among you till this much of it was left behind, and the Prophet, used to spend of this as the yearly expenditures of his family and then take what remained of it and spent it as he did with (other) Allah's wealth. The Prophet ﷺ did so during all his lifetime, and I beseech you by Allah, do you know that?" They replied, "Yes." ʿUmar then addressed ʿAli and ʿAbbas, saying, "I beseech you both by Allah, do you know that?" Both of them replied, "Yes." ʿUmar added, "Then Allah took His Apostle unto Him. Abu Bakr then said 'I am the successor of Messenger of Allah ﷺ' and took over all the Prophet's property and disposed of it in the same way as Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do, and you were present then." Then he turned to ʿAli and ʿAbbas and said, "You both claim that Abu Bakr did so-and-so in managing the property, but Allah knows that Abu Bakr was honest, righteous, intelligent, and a follower of what is right in managing it. Then Allah took Abu Bakr unto Him, 'I said: I am the successor of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr.' So I took over the property for two years and managed it in the same way as Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Abu Bakr used to do. Then you both (ʿAli and ʿAbbas) came to me and asked for the same thing! (O ʿAbbas! You came to me to ask me for your share from nephew's property; and this (ʿAli) came to me asking for his wives share from her father's property, and I said to you both, 'If you wish, I will place it in your custody on condition that you both will manage it in the same way as Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr did and as I have been doing since I took charge of managing it; otherwise, do not speak to me anymore about it.' Then you both said, 'Give it to us on that (condition).' So I gave it to you on that condition. Now I beseech you by Allah, did I not give it to them on that condition?" The group (whom he had been addressing) replied, "Yes." ʿUmar then addressed ʿAbbas and ʿAli saying, "I beseech you both by Allah, didn't I give you all that property on that condition?" They said, "Yes." ʿUmar then said, "Are you now seeking a verdict from me other than that? By Him with Whose Permission the Heaven and the Earth exists I will not give any verdict other than that till the Hour is established; and if you both are unable to manage this property, then you can hand it back to me, and I will be sufficient for it on your behalf." (See, Hadith No. 326, Vol. 4)

'I went and entered upon ʿUmar, his doorman, Yarfa came saying ʿUthman, ʿAbdur-Rahman, Az- Zubair and Saʿd are asking your permission (to see you). May I admit them? ʿUmar said, 'Yes.' So he admitted them Then he came again and said, 'May I admit ʿAli and ʿAbbas?' He said, 'Yes.' ʿAbbas said, 'O, chief of the believers! Judge between me and this man (Ali ). ʿUmar said, 'I beseech you by Allah by Whose permission both the heaven and the earth exist, do you know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Our (the Apostles') property will not be inherited, and whatever we leave (after our death) is to be spent in charity?' And by that Messenger of Allah ﷺ meant himself.' The group said, '(No doubt), he said so.' ʿUmar then faced ʿAli and ʿAbbas and said, 'Do you both know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that?' They replied, '(No doubt), he said so.' ʿUmar said, 'So let me talk to you about this matter. Allah favored His Apostle with something of this Fai' (i.e. booty won by the Muslims at war without fighting) which He did not give to anybody else; Allah said:-- 'And what Allah gave to His Apostle ( Fai' Booty) .........to do all things....(59.6) And so that property was only for Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Yet, by Allah, he neither gathered that property for himself nor withheld it from you, but he gave its income to you, and distributed it among you till there remained the present property out of which the Prophet ﷺ used to spend the yearly maintenance for his family, and whatever used to remain, he used to spend it where Allah's property is spent (i.e. in charity etc.). Messenger of Allah ﷺ followed that throughout his life. Now I beseech you by Allah, do you know all that?' They said, 'Yes.' ʿUmar then said to ʿAli and ʿAbbas, 'I beseech you by Allah, do you know that?' Both of them said, 'Yes.' ʿUmar added, 'And when the Prophet ﷺ died, Abu Bakr said, ' I am the successor of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and took charge of that property and managed it in the same way as Messenger of Allah ﷺ did. Then I took charge of this property for two years during which I managed it as Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr did. Then you both (ʿAli and ʿAbbas) came to talk to me, bearing the same claim and presenting the same case. (O ʿAbbas!) You came to me asking for your share from the property of your nephew, and this man (Ali) came to me, asking for the share of h is wife from the property of her father. I said, 'If you both wish, I will give that to you on that condition (i.e. that you would follow the way of the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr and as I (ʿUmar) have done in man aging it).' Now both of you seek of me a verdict other than that? Lo! By Allah, by Whose permission both the heaven and the earth exist, I will not give any verdict other than that till the Hour is established. If you are unable to manage it, then return it to me, and I will be sufficient to manage it on your behalf.' "

that he remembered Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he also remembered a mouthful of water which he had thrown on his face, after taking it from a well that was in their house. Mahmud said that he had heard ʿItban bin Malik, who was present with Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the battle of Badr saying, "I used to lead my people at Bani Salim in the prayer and there was a valley between me and those people. Whenever it rained it used to be difficult for me to cross it to go to their mosque. So I went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'I have weak eyesight and the valley between me and my people flows during the rainy season and it becomes difficult for me to cross it; I wish you would come to my house and pray at a place so that I could take that place as a praying place.' Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I will do so.' So Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr came to my house in the (next) morning after the sun had risen high. Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked my permission to let him in and I admitted him. He did not sit before saying, 'Where do you want us to offer the prayer in your house?' I pointed to the place where I wanted him to pray. So Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up for the prayer and started the prayer with Takbir and we aligned in rows behind him; and he offered two rakʿat, and finished them with Taslim, and we also performed Taslim with him. I detained him for a meal called "Khazir" which I had prepared for him.--("Khazir" is a special type of dish prepared from barley flour and meat soup)-- When the neighbors got the news that Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in my house, they poured it till there were a great number of men in the house. One of them said, 'What is wrong with Malik, for I do not see him?' One of them replied, 'He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Apostle.' On that Allah's Apostle said, 'Don't say this. Haven't you seen that he said, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah for Allah's sake only.' The man replied, 'Allah and His Apostle know better; but by Allah, we never saw him but helping and talking with the hypocrites.' Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, 'No doubt, whoever says. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and by that he wants the pleasures of Allah, then Allah will save him from Hell." Mahmud added, "I told the above narration to some people, one of whom was Abu Aiyub, the companion of Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the battle in which he (Abu Aiyub) died and Yazid bin Mu'awiya was their leader in Roman Territory. Abu Aiyub denounced the narration and said, 'I doubt that Messenger of Allah ﷺ ever said what you have said.' I felt that too much, and I vowed to Allah that if I remained alive in that holy battle, I would (go to Medina and) ask ʿItban bin Malik if he was still living in the mosque of his people. So when he returned, I assumed Ihram for Hajj or ʿUmra and then I proceeded on till I reached Medina. I went to Bani Salim and ʿItban bin Malik, who was by then an old blind man, was leading his people in the prayer. When he finished the prayer, I greeted him and introduced myself to him and then asked him about that narration. He told that narration again in the same manner as he had narrated it the first time."

Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived at Medina with Abu Bakr, riding behind him on the same camel. Abu Bakr was an elderly man known to the people, while Messenger of Allah ﷺ was a youth that was unknown. Thus, if a man met Abu Bakr, he would say, "O Abu Bakr! Who is this man in front of you?" Abu Bakr would say, "This man shows me the Way," One would think that Abu Bakr meant the road, while in fact, Abu Bakr meant the way of virtue and good. Then Abu Bakr looked behind and saw a horse-rider pursuing them. He said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! This is a horse-rider pursuing us." The Prophet ﷺ looked behind and said, "O Allah! Cause him to fall down." So the horse threw him down and got up neighing. After that the rider, Suraqa said, "O Allah's Prophet! Order me whatever you want." The Prophet said, "Stay where you are and do not allow anybody to reach us." So, in the first part of the day Suraqa was an enemy of Allah's Prophet and in the last part of it, he was a protector. Then Allah's Apostle alighted by the side of the Al-Harra and sent a message to the Ansar, and they came to Allah's Prophet and Abu Bakr, and having greeted them, they said, "Ride (your she-camels) safe and obeyed." Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr rode and the Ansar, carrying their arms, surrounded them. The news that Allah's Prophet had come circulated in Medina. The people came out and were eagerly looking and saying "Allah's Prophet has come! Allah's Prophet has come! So the Prophet ﷺ went on till he alighted near the house of Abu Ayub. While the Prophet ﷺ was speaking with the family members of Abu Ayub, ʿAbdullah bin Salam heard the news of his arrival while he himself was picking the dates for his family from his family garden. He hurried to the Prophet ﷺ carrying the dates which he had collected for his family from the garden. He listened to Allah's Prophet and then went home. Then Allah's Prophet said, "Which is the nearest of the houses of our kith and kin?" Abu Ayub replied, "Mine, O Allah's Prophet! This is my house and this is my gate." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go and prepare a place for our midday rest." Abu Ayub said, "Get up (both of you) with Allah's Blessings." So when Allah's Prophet went into the house, ʿAbdullah bin Salam came and said "I testify that you (i.e. Muhammad) are Apostle of Allah and that you have come with the Truth. The Jews know well that I am their chief and the son of their chief and the most learned amongst them and the son of the most learned amongst them. So send for them (i.e. Jews) and ask them about me before they know that I have embraced Islam, for if they know that they will say about me things which are not correct." So Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for them, and they came and entered. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them, "O (the group of) Jews! Woe to you: be afraid of Allah. By Allah except Whom none has the right to be worshipped, you people know for certain, that I am Apostle of Allah and that I have come to you with the Truth, so embrace Islam." The Jews replied, "We do not know this." So they said this to the Prophet and he repeated it thrice. Then he said, "What sort of a man is ʿAbdullah bin Salam amongst you?" They said, "He is our chief and the son of our chief and the most learned man, and the son of the most learned amongst us." He said, "What would you think if he should embrace Islam?" They said, "Allah forbid! He can not embrace Islam." He said, " What would you think if he should embrace Islam?" They said, "Allah forbid! He can not embrace Islam." He said, "What would you think if he should embrace Islam?" They said, "Allah forbid! He can not embrace Islam." He said, "O Ibn Salam! Come out to them." He came out and said, "O (the group of) Jews! Be afraid of Allah except Whom none has the right to be worshipped. You know for certain that he is Apostle of Allah and that he has brought a True Religion!' They said, "You tell a lie." On that Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned them out.

That once ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab called him and while he was sitting with him, his gatekeeper, Yarfa came and said, "Will you admit ʿUthman, ʿAbdur-Rahman bin ʿAuf, AzZubair and Saʿd (bin Abi Waqqas) who are waiting for your permission?" ʿUmar said, "Yes, let them come in." After a while, Yarfa- came again and said, "Will you admit ʿAli and ʿAbbas who are asking your permission?" ʿUmar said, "Yes." So, when the two entered, ʿAbbas said, "O chief of the believers! Judge between me and this (i.e. ʿAli). "Both of them had a dispute regarding the property of Bani An-Nadir which Allah had given to His Apostle as Fai (i.e. booty gained without fighting), ʿAli and ʿAbbas started reproaching each other. The (present) people (i.e. ʿUthman and his companions) said, "O chief of the believers! Give your verdict in their case and relieve each from) the other." ʿUmar said, "Wait I beseech you, by Allah, by Whose Permission both the heaven and the earth stand fast! Do you know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'We (Prophets) our properties are not to be inherited, and whatever we leave, is to be spent in charity,' and he said it about himself?" They (i.e. ʿUthman and his company) said, "He did say it. "ʿUmar then turned towards ʿAli and ʿAbbas and said, "I beseech you both, by Allah! Do you know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said this?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "Now I am talking to you about this matter. Allah the Glorified favored His Apostle with something of this Fai (i.e. booty won without fighting) which He did not give to anybody else. Allah said:-- "And what Allah gave to His Apostle ("Fai"" Booty) from them--For which you made no expedition With either Calvary or camelry. But Allah gives power to His Apostles Over whomsoever He will And Allah is able to do all things." (59.6) So this property was especially granted to Messenger of Allah ﷺ . But by Allah, the Prophet ﷺ neither took it all for himself only, nor deprived you of it, but he gave it to all of you and distributed it amongst you till only this remained out of it. And from this Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to spend the yearly maintenance for his family, and whatever used to remain, he used to spend it where Allah's Property is spent (i.e. in charity), Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept on acting like that during all his life, Then he died, and Abu Bakr said, 'I am the successor of Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' So he (i.e. Abu Bakr) took charge of this property and disposed of it in the same manner as Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do, and all of you (at that time) knew all about it." Then ʿUmar turned towards ʿAli and ʿAbbas and said, "You both remember that Abu Bakr disposed of it in the way you have described and Allah knows that, in that matter, he was sincere, pious, rightly guided and the follower of the right. Then Allah caused Abu Bakr to die and I said, 'I am the successor of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr.' So I kept this property in my possession for the first two years of my rule (i.e. Caliphate and I used to dispose of it in the same wa as Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr used to do; and Allah knows that I have been sincere, pious, rightly guided an the follower of the right (in this matte Later on both of you (i.e. ʿAli and ʿAbbas) came to me, and the claim of you both was one and the same, O ʿAbbas! You also came to me. So I told you both that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Our property is not inherited, but whatever we leave is to be given in charity.' Then when I thought that I should better hand over this property to you both or the condition that you will promise and pledge before Allah that you will dispose it off in the same way as Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr did and as I have done since the beginning of my caliphate or else you should not speak to me (about it).' So, both of you said to me, 'Hand it over to us on this condition.' And on this condition I handed it over to you. Do you want me now to give a decision other than that (decision)? By Allah, with Whose Permission both the sky and the earth stand fast, I will never give any decision other than that (decision) till the Last Hour is established. But if you are unable to manage it (i.e. that property), then return it to me, and I will manage on your behalf." The sub-narrator said, "I told ʿUrwa bin Az-Zubair of this Hadith and he said, 'Malik bin Aus has told the truth" I heard ʿAisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ saying, 'The wives of the Prophet ﷺ sent ʿUthman to Abu Bakr demanding from him their 1/8 of the Fai which Allah had granted to his Apostle. But I used to oppose them and say to them: Will you not fear Allah? Don't you know that the Prophet used to say: Our property is not inherited, but whatever we leave is to be given in charity? The Prophet ﷺ mentioned that regarding himself. He added: 'The family of Muhammad can take their sustenance from this property. So the wives of the Prophet ﷺ stopped demanding it when I told them of that.' So, this property (of Sadaqa) was in the hands of ʿAli who withheld it from ʿAbbas and overpowered him. Then it came in the hands of Hasan bin ʿAli, then in the hands of Husain bin ʿAli, and then in the hands of ʿAli bin Husain and Hasan bin Hasan, and each of the last two used to manage it in turn, then it came in the hands of Zaid bin Hasan, and it was truly the Sadaqa of Allah's Apostle ."

The Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) addressed us and said: You would travel In the evening and the might till (God willing) you would come in the morning to a place of water. So the people travelled (self absorbed) without paying any heed to one another, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ also travelled till It was midnight. I was by his side. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to doze and leaned (to one side) of his camel. I came to him and I lent him support without awaking him till he sat poised on his ride. He went on travelling till a major part of the night was over and (he again) leaned (to one side) of his camel. I supported him without awaking him till he sat" bed on his ride. and then travelled till it was near dawn. He (again) leaned which was far more inclined than the two earlier leanings and he was about to fall down. So I came to him and supported him and he lifted his head and said; Who is this? I said: it is Abu Qatida. He (the Prophet again) said: Since how long have you been travelling along with me like this? I said: I have been travelling in this very state since the night. He said: May Allah protect you, as you have protected His Apostle (from falling down), and again said: Do you see that we are hidden from the people? - and again said: Do you see anyone? I said: Here is a rider. I again said: Here Is another rider till we gathered together and we were seven riders. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stepped aside of the highway and placed his head (for sleep and said): Guard for us our prayers. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the first to wake up and the rays of the sun were falling on his back. We got up startled He (the Holy Prophet) said: Ride on So we rode on till the sun had (sufficiently) risen. He then came down from his camel and called for a jug of water which I had with me. There was a little water in that. He performed ablution with that which was less thorough as compared with his usual ablutions and some water of that had been left. He (the Holy Prophet) said to Abu Qatida: Keep a watch over your jug of water; it would have (a miraculous) condition about it. Then Bilal summoned (people) to prayer and then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed two rak'ahs and then said the morning prayer as he said every day. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ (then) rode on and we rode along with him and some of us whispered to the others saying: How would there be compensation for omission in our prayers? Upon this he (the Messenger of Allah) said: Is there not in me (my life) a model for you? There is no omission in sleeping. The (cognizable) emission is that one should not say prayer (intentionally) till the time of the other prayer comes. So he who did like it (omitted prayer in sleep or due to other unavoidable circumstances) should say prayer when he becomes aware of it and on the next day he should observe it at its prescribed time. He (the Holy Prophet) said: What do you think the people would have done (at this hour)? They would have in the morning found their Apostle missing from amongst them and then Abu Bakr and 'Umar would have told them that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ must be behind you, he cannot leave you behind (him), but the people said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ is ahead of you. So if you had obeyed Abu Bakr and Umar, you would have gone on the right path. So we proceeded on till we came up to the people (from whom we had lagged behind) and the day had considerably risen and everything became hot, and they (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) said: Messenger of Allah, we are dying of thirst. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) remarked: There is no destruction for you. And again said: Bring that small cup of mine and he then asked for the jug of water to be brought to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to pour water (in that small cup) and Abu Qatida gave them to drink. And when the people saw that there was (a little) water in the jug, they fell upon it. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Behave well; the water (is enough) to satiate all of you. Then they (the Companions) began to receive (their share of) water with calmness (without showing any anxiety) and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to fill (the cap), and I began to serve them till no one was left except me and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He then filled (the cup) with water and said to me: Drink it. I said: Messenger of Allah, I would not drink till you drink. Upon this he said: The server of the people Is the last among them to drink. So I drank and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ also drank and the people came to the place of water quite happy and satiated. 'Abdullah b. Rabah said: I am going to narrate this hadith in the great mosque, when 'Imran b. Husain said: See, O young man, how will you narrate for I was also one of the riders on that night? I said: So you must be knowing this hadith well. He said: Who are you? I said: I am one of the Ansar. Upon this he said: You narrate, for you know your hadith better. I, therefore, narrated it to the people. 'Imran said: I was also present that night, but I know not anyone else who learnt it so well as you have learnt.

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

"Al-Abbas and Ali came to 'Umar with a dispute. Al-Abbas said: 'Pass judgment between him and I.' the people said: 'Pass judgment between them.' 'Umar said: 'I will not pass judgment between them. They know that the Messenger of Allah said: We are not inherited from, what we leave behind is charity. He said: And (in this narration of it) Az-Zuhri said: 'It (the Khumus) was under the control of the Messenger of Allah , and he took provision for himself and for his family from it, and disposed to the rest of it as he disposed of other wealth (belonging to the Muslims). Then Abu Bakr took control of it, then I took control of it after Abu Bakr, and I did with it what he sued to do. Then these two came to me and asked me to give it to them so that they could dispose of it as the Messenger of Allah disposed of it, and as Abu Bakr disposed of it, and as I disposed of it. So I gave it to them and I took promises from them that they would take proper care of it. Then they came to me and this one said. Give me my share from my brothers son: and this one said: Give me my share from my wife. If they want me to give it to them on the condition that they would dispose of it in the same manner as the Messenger of Allah did, and as Abu Bakr did, and as I did, I would give it to them, but if they refuse, then they do not have to worry about it.' Then he said: 'And know that whatever of spoils of war that you may gain, verily, one-fifth of it is assigned to Allah, and to the Messenger, and to the near relatives (of the Messenger (Muhammad), (and also) the orphans, Al-Masakin (the poor) and the wayfarer' (Al-Anfal 8:41) this if for them. 'As-Sadaqat (here it means Zakah) are only for the Fuqara (poor), and Al-Masakin (the poor) and those employed to collect (the funds); and to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (toward Islam); and to free the captives; and for those in debt; and for Allah's cause (I.e. for Mujahidun - those fighting in a holy battle)' - this is for them. 'And what Allah gave as booty (Fay') to His Messenger (Muhammad) from them - for this you made no expeditin with either cavalry or camels.' Az-Zuhri said: This applies exclusively to the Messenger of Allah and refers to an 'Arab village called Fadak, and so on. What Allah gave as booty (Fay') to His Messenger (Muhammad) from the people of the townships - it is for Allah, His Messenger (Muhammad), the kindred (of Messenger Muhammad), the orphans, Al-Masakin (the poor), and the wayfarer (And there is also a share in this booty) for the poor emigrants, who were expelled from their homes and their property And (it is also for) those who, before them, had homes (in Al-Madinah) and had adopted the Faith And those who came after them. These is no one left among the Muslims but he has some rights to this wealth, except for some of the slaved whom you own. If I live, if Allah wills, I will give every Muslim his right." Or he said: "His share."

He met Ibn 'Abbas and asked him about Witr. He said: "Shall I not lead you to one who knows best among the people of the world about the witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said: "Yes." (Ibn Abbas) said: "It is 'Aishah. So go to her and ask her (about witr) and then come back to me and tell me the answer that she gives you." So I went to Hakim bin Aflah and asked him to go accompany me to her. He said: "I shall not go to her, for I told her not to say anything about these two (conflicting) groups, but she refused (to accept my advice) and went on (to participate in the conflict)." I swore an oath, beseeching him (to take me to her). So he came with me and went unto her. She said to Hakim: "Who is this with you?" He said: "He is Sa'd bin Hisham." She said: "Which Hisham?" He said: "Ibn Amir." She supplicated for mercy for him and said: "What a good man Amir was." He said: "O Mother of the Believers, tell me about the character of the Messenger of Allah." She said: "Don't you read the Qur'an?" I said: "Yes." She said "The character of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the Qur'an." He said: "I wanted to get up (and leave), then I thought of the Qiyam (night prayer) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "Tell me about the Qiyam of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She said: "Do you not recite this surah: "O you wrapped in garments?" I said: "Yes." She said: "Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, made Qiyam Al-Lail obligatory at the beginning of this surah, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions prayed Qiyam Al-Lail for one year. Allah (SWT) withheld the latter part of this surah for twelve months, then he revealed the lessening (of this duty) at the end of this surah, so Qiyam Al-Lail became voluntary after it had been obligatory." I felt inclined to stand up (and not ask anything further), then I thought of the witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said: "O Mother of the Believers, tell me about the witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She said: "We used to prepare his siwak and water for his ablution, and Allah (SWT) would wake him when He wished during the night. He would use the siwak, perform ablution, and then pray eight rak'ahs in which he would not sit until he reached the eighth one. Then he would sit and remember Allah (SWT) and supplicate, then he would say the taslim that we could hear. Then he would pray two rak'as sitting after uttering the taslim, then he would pray one rak'ah, and that made eleven rak'ahs, O my son! When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ grew older and put on weight, he prayed witr with seven rak'ahs, then he prayed two rak'ahs sitting down after saying the taslim, and that made nine rak'ahs. O my son, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺoffered a prayer, he liked to continue to offer it, and when sleep, sickness, or pain distracted him from praying Qiyam Al-Lail, he would pray twelve rak'ahs during the day. I am not aware of the Prophet of Allah ﷺ having recited the whole Qur'an during a single night, or praying through the whole night until morning, or fasting a complete month, except Ramadan." I went to Ibn 'Abbas and told him what she had said, and he said: "She has spoken the truth. If I could go to her (and meet her face to face) I would so that she could tell me all of that verbally."

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

"The Prophet ﷺ went out during an hour in which he would normally not go out, nor meet with anyone. Then Abu Bakr came to him. So he said:"What brought you O Abu Bakr?" He said: "I came to meet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and to look at his face, and to make sure he was safe. It was not long before 'Umar came. He said: "What has brought you O 'Umar ?" He said: "Hunger O Messenger of Allah!"He said: "I also experienced some of that" So they went to the home of Abu Al-Haitham At-Taiyyihan Al-Ansari. He was a man with many date-palms and sheep, but he had no servants so they did not find him there. They said to his wife: "Where is your companion?" She said: "He has gone to fetch us some good water." It was not long before Abu Al-Haitham came along hauling to a large water-skin which he put down. Then he came to hug the Prophet ﷺ and uttered that his father and mother should be ransomed for him. Then he went to grove of his and he spread out a mat for them. Then he went to a date-palm and returned with a cluster of dates which he put down. The prophet ﷺ said: "Why don't you select some ripe dates for us?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I wanted you to select from the ripe dates and the unripe dates." So they ate and they drank from that water. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! This is among the favors which you shall be asked about on the Day of Judgement. Cool shade, tasty ripe dates, and cool water." Abu Al-Haitham left to prepare some food for them. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Do not slaughter one with milk." So he Slaughtered a small female or male goat and brought it to them so they could eat it. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Do you have any servants?" He said: "No." So he said: "Then if we get some captives we shall bring them for you." So (later) the Prophet ﷺ came with 2 males, there was no third among them and he brought them to Abu Al-Haitham. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Choose from them." He said: "O Prophet of Allah! Choose for me." So the Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed the one consulted is entrusted. Take this one for I have seen him praying, and encourage him to do well." So Abu Al-Haitham went to his wife and informed her of what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said. So his wife said: "You will not fulfill what the Prophet ﷺ said until you have freed him." So he said: "He is free." So the Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed Allah has not send a Prophet nor made a Khalifah except that he has two groups of supporters, group ordering him to do good, and prohibiting him from evil and a group that never ceases spoiling his affairs. So whoever protected."

[Machine] We arrived with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Hudaybiyyah when we were fourteen hundred and fifty and we had fifty sheep that didn't have enough water, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat on its mountains and either he invoked (Allah for rain) or he spread his hands, so we scattered, and we got water. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for the pledge of allegiance to be given in the trunk of a tree, so he pledged allegiance to him. The first of the people pledged allegiance to him, and he continued until he reached the middle of the people. He said, "O Salamah, pledge allegiance to me." I said, "I have already pledged allegiance to you among the first of the people, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Also pledge (again)." So I pledged allegiance to him. Then he said, "Where is your bracelet or your ring that you gave me?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, my paternal uncle, 'Amir, met me as a stranger, so I gave it to him." He said, "You are like the one whom Allah said about him: 'O Allah, enrich me (with wealth) and make poor (impoverish) me who is most beloved to me than myself.' " Then he laughed. Then the disbelievers sent a peace envoy to us until some of our people met with some of them. He said, "And you used to sell the horse of Talhah bin 'Ubaidullah, I used to feed and drink from it. I left my family and wealth as an emigrant to Allah and His Messenger. When we reconciled between us and the people of Makkah, and some of us started to mix with others, I came to the tree, so I swept its thorns and laid in its shade. Then four men from the people of Makkah came to me while they were disbelievers acting with aggression towards the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So I moved away from them to another tree, and they hung their weapons and lay down. While they were like that, a caller from the bottom of the valley called, 'O family of Emigrants, Ibn Zunaym has been killed.' So I unsheathed my sword and went towards the four. I took their weapons and turned them into a pile of straw. Then I said, 'By the One who honored Muhammad, no man among you shall raise his head except that I will hit him where I mean.' Then I brought them to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and my uncle 'Amir came with the son of Makraz riding his horse, leading a group of seventy men. So when they arrived, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ glanced at them and said, 'Leave them, they will have the fruits of their misdeeds.' And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the verse, 'And it is He who withheld their hands from you and your hands from them.' Then we returned to Al-Madinah and we stayed in a place called Lahy Jamāl. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sought forgiveness for those who ascended the mountain that night as if they were the forefront for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions. I passed by them that night two or three times. Then we arrived at Al-Madinah, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent his pack with his servant Rabbah, and I was with him. And I left on the horse of Talhah, calling it on its back. When we woke up, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Uwaynah al-Fazzārī had attacked the back of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so everyone attacked him and killed his shepherd.

He met Ibn 'Abbas and asked him about Witr. He said: "Shall I not lead you to one who knows best among the people of the world about the witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said: "Yes." (Ibn Abbas) said: "It is 'Aishah. So go to her and ask her (about witr) and then come back to me and tell me the answer that she gives you." So I went to Hakim bin Aflah and asked him to go accompany me to her. He said: "I shall not go to her, for I told her not to say anything about these two (conflicting) groups, but she refused (to accept my advice) and went on (to participate in the conflict)." I swore an oath, beseeching him (to take me to her). So he came with me and went unto her. She said to Hakim: "Who is this with you?" He said: "He is Sa'd bin Hisham." She said: "Which Hisham?" He said: "Ibn Amir." She supplicated for mercy for him and said: "What a good man Amir was." He said: "O Mother of the Believers, tell me about the character of the Messenger of Allah." She said: "Don't you read the Qur'an?" I said: "Yes." She said "The character of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the Qur'an." He said: "I wanted to get up (and leave), then I thought of the Qiyam (night prayer) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "Tell me about the Qiyam of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She said: "Do you not recite this surah: "O you wrapped in garments?" I said: "Yes." She said: "Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, made Qiyam Al-Lail obligatory at the beginning of this surah, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions prayed Qiyam Al-Lail for one year. Allah (SWT) withheld the latter part of this surah for twelve months, then he revealed the lessening (of this duty) at the end of this surah, so Qiyam Al-Lail became voluntary after it had been obligatory." I felt inclined to stand up (and not ask anything further), then I thought of the witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said: "O Mother of the Believers, tell me about the witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She said: "We used to prepare his siwak and water for his ablution, and Allah (SWT) would wake him when He wished during the night. He would use the siwak, perform ablution, and then pray eight rak'ahs in which he would not sit until he reached the eighth one. Then he would sit and remember Allah (SWT) and supplicate, then he would say the taslim that we could hear. Then he would pray two rak'as sitting after uttering the taslim, then he would pray one rak'ah, and that made eleven rak'ahs, O my son! When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ grew older and put on weight, he prayed witr with seven rak'ahs, then he prayed two rak'ahs sitting down after saying the taslim, and that made nine rak'ahs. O my son, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺoffered a prayer, he liked to continue to offer it, and when sleep, sickness, or pain distracted him from praying Qiyam Al-Lail, he would pray twelve rak'ahs during the day. I am not aware of the Prophet of Allah ﷺ having recited the whole Qur'an during a single night, or praying through the whole night until morning, or fasting a complete month, except Ramadan." I went to Ibn 'Abbas and told him what she had said, and he said: "She has spoken the truth. If I could go to her (and meet her face to face) I would so that she could tell me all of that verbally." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1601)

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

[Machine] He ﷺ said, "A Jewish woman from the city gave birth to a baby boy with a squint in his eye and protruding eyes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt pity, fearing that he might be the Dajjal. He went to find him and found him under a palm tree playing, and his mother called him and said, 'O Abdullah, this is Abu Al-Qasim who has come, so go out to him.' He went out of the palm tree, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, 'What is wrong with her? May Allah have mercy on her! If she had left him, it would have been clear.' Then he asked, 'O son of a hunter, what do you see?' He replied, 'I see truth and falsehood, and I see a throne on water.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'He has been tested.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, 'Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?' He replied, 'Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I believe in Allah and His Messengers,' and he let him go. Then he came to him a second or third time, and with him were Abu Bakr and Umar bin Al-Khattab, among a group of Muhajireen and Ansar, and I was with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ hurried ahead of us, hoping to hear something from his speech and know whether he was the Dajjal or not. But his mother got ahead of us and said, 'O Abdullah, this is Abu Al-Qasim who has come.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What is wrong with her? May Allah have mercy on her! If she had left him, it would have been clear.' Then he asked, 'O son of a hunter, what do you see?' He replied, 'I see truth and falsehood, and I see a throne on water.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, 'Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?' He replied, 'Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I believe in Allah and His Messengers,' and he let him go. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'O son of a hunter, we have hidden something for you, so what is it?' He replied, 'Ad-Dukh, Ad-Dukh.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'Go away, go away.' Umar bin Al-Khattab said, 'O Messenger of Allah, give me permission to kill him.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If he is he (the Dajjal), you are not his companion, for his companion will be 'Isa ibn Maryam. If he is not he (the Dajjal), then it is not permissible for you to kill a man from the people of the covenant.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained anxious, fearing that he might be the Dajjal.

[Machine] I went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the battle of Dhatus Riqa'a riding on a weak camel. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ halted, the companions continued moving forward, while I stayed behind until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ caught up with me. He asked, "What's wrong, Jabir?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, my camel is slow." He said, "Unleash it, and I will unleash mine." Then he said, "Give me this stick from your hand, or cut a stick for me from a tree." I did so. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took it and struck with it a few times. Then he said, "Ride." So, I rode and he left with his she-camel, which was difficult to restrain. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke to me and said, "Will you give me this camel, Jabir?" I said, "Rather, I gift it to you." He replied, "No, rather, you have loaned it to me." I said, "In that case, name your price." He said, "I have taken it for one dirham." I said, "No, Messenger of Allah, in that case, you have deceived me." He asked, "For two dirhams?" I responded, "No." He continued raising the price until he reached two hundred dirhams. I said, "Yes, now I am satisfied." He asked, "Are you really satisfied?" I said, "Yes." He then said, "It is yours." He asked me, "O Jabir, have you married after that?" I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He asked, "A virgin or a previously married woman?" I said, "No, rather a previously married woman." He asked, "Aren't there young girls whom you can play with and they can play with you?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, my father was martyred on the day of Uhud, leaving behind seven daughters. So, I married a woman who could take care of them." The Prophet ﷺ said, "You have done the right thing, Insha'Allah." He then said, "If we come across some loot, we will command the butchers to slaughter it, and we will stay there until you come. If you hear about any robbers attacking, disperse and abandon everything you have." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, we don't have any belongings." He said, "When you reach there, do a good deed." I said, "The Messenger of Allah then commanded that the loot be slaughtered and we stayed there until evening. When evening came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered and we entered with him. I informed the woman of what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, and she said, "May Allah reward you with good. Wait and obey him." When morning came, I held the head of the camel and brought it to the door of the Prophet ﷺ . Then I sat near the mosque, close to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out and saw the camel and asked, "What is this?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is a camel brought by Jabir." He said, "Where is Jabir?" I was called, and he said, "Come here, O son of my brother, take the head of your camel, it is yours." He then called Bilal and said, "Go with Jabir and give him some money." So, I went with Bilal, and he gave me some money and a little extra. I swear by Allah, that camel remained with us and we could see its place from our house until it was injured in the same way people were injured on the day of (the battle of) Badr.

[Machine] "Abdul Rahman, I recited this hadith to my father and he accepted it, and he told us some of it in another place. He said, "Moses bin Hilal Al-Abdyy told us that Hammam narrated from Ibn Sirin, from Anas bin Malik, who said: Abu Talha married Umm Sulaim, who was the mother of Anas. Al-Bara' said: "Then she gave birth to a son and Abu Talha loved him intensely." He said: "The child became seriously ill, so Abu Talha used to perform the morning prayer, perform ablution, meet the Prophet ﷺ and pray with him, and then stay with him until close to midday. He would then come and be informed that the child had eaten, so when he prayed Dhuhr prayer, he freshened up and left, and he did not come to the 'Isha prayer." He said: "That evening passed and the child died." He said: "Then Abu Talha came and she covered him with a garment and left him." He said: "Then Abu Talha said to Umm Sulaim," O Umm Sulaim, how did our son spend tonight?" She said: "O Abu Talha, your son has not slept since he became sick." He said: "Then she brought food and he ate, and his soul was comforted." He said: "Then he went to his bed and put his head down." She said: "And I got up and touched something nice, then I came back and entered the bed with him, and the only thing he found was the smell of the fragrance that a man gives to his wife." He said: "Then Abu Talha prepared himself as he did every day." He said: "She said to him, 'O Abu Talha, suppose a man entrusted you with a deposit and then he asked for it and you gave it to him, would you feel bad about that?'" He said: "No." She said: "Your son has died." Anas said: "Abu Talha then grieved for him greatly and told the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about what happened with regard to the food and the good things, and the things that were coming from him to her." He said: "Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Come here.' So, he went on talking until he said, 'I do not need you both tonight.' He said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'May Allah bless you both in your night.' She said: 'Umm Sulaim became pregnant that night and she gave birth to a boy.' He said: 'So, when we became day, Abu Talha said to me: 'Carry him in a piece of cloth until you bring him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' So, I carried him in a piece of cloth.' He said: 'He was not stimulated, nor did he taste any food or drink.' He said: 'So, I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, Umm Sulaim has given birth.' He said: 'Allah is the Greatest. What did she give birth to?' I said: 'A boy.' He said: 'All praise is due to Allah.' He said: 'Bring him to me.' So, I gave him to him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ then put his finger in his mouth and he sucked on it. He then said: 'Do you have any Ajwa dates?' I said: 'Yes.' So, I extracted a date and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took a piece of the date and placed it in his mouth, and the Prophet ﷺ kept chewing it until it combined with his saliva. Then, the Prophet ﷺ put the child down and the child was only finding the sweetness of the date, so he kept sucking on it."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out with the people before the Battle of Tabuk. When morning came, he led the people in the Fajr prayer. Then, the people mounted their rides, and when the sun came up, the people dozed off on their camels. Muadh, the companion of the Prophet ﷺ , stayed close behind him and followed his footsteps. The people dispersed on the road, resting and walking, while feeding and moving. While Muadh was following in the footsteps of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , his camel stumbled and he held it back with the reins. As a result, the camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ran away from him. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ uncovered his face and turned around, only to find a man from the army, who was closer to him than Muadh. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and said, "O Muadh!" He replied, "I am here, O Messenger of Allah!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told him to draw closer. So, he approached until his camel touched the camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then, the Prophet ﷺ said, "I did not think that the people were as close to me as their position requires." Muadh said, "O Messenger of Allah, the people fell asleep, and their rides scattered, grazing and moving." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "I also dozed off." When Muadh saw the good news from the Prophet ﷺ and he was alone with him, he asked, "O Messenger of Allah, permit me to ask you about something that has caused me illness, weakness, and distress." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Ask me whatever you wish." Muadh said, "Please tell me a deed that will make me enter Paradise. I will not ask you about anything else." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You have asked about something great. You have asked about something great. It is easy for the one whom Allah wants good for. It is easy for the one whom Allah wants good for. It is easy for the one whom Allah wants good for." He did not offer him any other suggestion without repeating it to him three times, especially since Muadh showed such keenness to learn it. Then, the Prophet ﷺ said, "You should believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish the prayer, worship Allah alone without associating partners with Him, perform the obligatory acts, and avoid the prohibitions until you die while adhering to them." Muadh said, "O Messenger of Allah, repeat it for me." The Prophet repeated it for him three times. Then, he said, "If you wish, I will inform you of the head, the pillar, and the pinnacle of this matter." Muadh said, "Yes, please, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The head of this matter is the testimony that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger. The pillar of this matter is establishing the prayer and paying the Zakah. And the pinnacle of this matter is Jihad in the cause of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ added, "I have been ordered to fight against people until they testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger, establish prayer, and pay Zakah. If they do so, their blood and wealth will be protected from me except for its due rights, and their reckoning is with Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ concluded by saying, "By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no one among the actions that lead to Paradise is as great as performing the obligatory prayer. And there is nothing heavier in the balance of a servant than truthfulness which he practices in striving in the cause of Allah, and there is nothing that will weigh more heavily in the balance of a servant than spending in the cause of Allah or carrying out an obligation in that regard."

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and he said, "If you do not reach the water tomorrow, you will be thirsty." So the people hurried to find water, and I stayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . His camel turned towards its saddle, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ dozed off, so I supported him and he leaned against me. Then his camel leaned so much that it almost fell off its saddle, so I supported him again and he woke up and said, "Who is this man?" I said, "Abu Qatadah." He asked, "How long have you been walking?" I said, "Since last night." He said, "May Allah protect you as you have protected His Messenger." Then he said, "If we stop and camp near a tree." So he descended and said, "Look, do you see anyone?" I said, "There are riders, two riders." Until they reached seven riders. He said, "Keep our prayer for us as we sleep." So we slept, and only the intense heat of the sun woke us up. We woke up and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mounted his camel and continued our journey for a while, and then he descended and said, "Do you have any water?" I said, "Yes, I have a container with a little water in it." He said, "Bring it." So I brought it to him, and he poured some of it on himself and said, "Pour from it." So the people poured from it, and a small quantity remained. He said, "Cover it, O Abu Qatadah, for it will have a story." Then Bilal called for prayer, and they prayed two units before dawn, then they prayed Fajr. Then he mounted his camel and we mounted with him. Some of them said to each other, "We missed out on our prayer." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What are you saying? If it is a worldly matter, it is your concern, but if it is a religious matter, then it is up to me." They said three times, "O Messenger of Allah, we missed out on our prayer." He said, "Do not miss out on sleep, as negligence is only in wakefulness. If that is the case, then pray it later in the morning." Then he said, "The people are suspicious." They said, "You said yesterday that if we do not reach the water tomorrow, we will be thirsty, and now the people have water." Some of them said, "The Messenger of Allah has water, and Abu Bakr and Umar are among the people." They said, "O people, the Messenger of Allah did not have a greater right to the water than you, and if the people obey Abu Bakr and Umar, they will surely guide you." He repeated this three times. When the sun became intense, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised it for them and they said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are dying of thirst, our throats are dry and our necks are being severed." He said, "Fear not, there is no death upon you." Then he said, "O Abu Qatadah, bring the container." So I brought it to him and he said, "Untie my garment." I untied it and brought it to him. Then he began pouring it into the container and giving water to the people. The people crowded around him, so he said, "O people, maintain order. Each of you will be able to drink from a flowing river." The people drank until there was no one left except me and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . So he poured for me and said, "Drink, O Abu Qatadah." I said, "You drink, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "The one who serves is the last to drink." So I drank and he drank after me. The container still had some water left, while there were about three hundred people there that day. Abdullah heard this hadith from Imran bin Husain while I was narrating it in the main mosque. He asked, "Who is the man?" I said, "I am Abdullah bin Rabah al-Ansari." The people know their hadith better than I do, so look at how you narrate hadith, for I am one of the seven people from that night. When I finished, he said, "I did not think that anyone was preserving this hadith other than myself."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote to him in a red damask, so he took the letter from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and tore it to pieces. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then sent a military expedition, and they did not leave anyone, nor any scent, nor any sound, nor any family, nor any wealth except that they took it. He escaped naked on a horse that had no saddle until he reached his daughter, who was married in Bani Hilal and had embraced Islam, as did her family. The meeting of the people was in the courtyard of her house, so he circled until he entered upon her from behind the house. When she saw him, she threw a garment on him and said, "What is wrong with you?" He said, "All evil has befallen your father. Nothing was left for him, neither scent, nor sound, nor family, nor wealth, except that it was taken from him." She said, "I invited you to Islam." He said, "Where is your husband?" She said, "With the camels." So he went to him and said, "What is wrong with you?" He said, "All evil has befallen me. Nothing was left for me, neither scent, nor sound, nor family, nor wealth, except that it was taken from me. And I want Muhammad to be my guardian before my family and wealth are divided." He said, "Take my riding camel with its saddle." He said, "I have no need for it." So he took the shepherd's staff and provisioned himself with water. And he had a garment that he covered his face with, and when he covered his face, his back was exposed, and when he covered his back, his face was exposed, and he disliked being recognized until he reached the city. So he tied his riding camel and came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who was at his door, and when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed Fajr, he said, "O Messenger of Allah, extend your hand so that I may pledge allegiance to you." He extended his hand, and when he was about to strike his hand, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew his hand to himself. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is the one I wrote to." So he struck his hand three times, drawing it towards himself, and he did the same after that. When it was the third time, he said, "Who are you?" He said, "I am the shepherd of Al-Sahimi." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then touched his arm and raised it and said, "O Muslims, this is the shepherd of Al-Sahimi, to whom I wrote, and he took my letter and tore it to pieces. I said to him, 'O Messenger of Allah, my family and my wealth?' He said, 'As for your wealth, it has been apportioned, and as for your family, whoever you can overpower from among them.'" So he went out, and his son recognized the riding camel while he was standing beside it, so he returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "This is my son." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Bilal, go out with him and ask his father, 'Is this your son?' If he says yes, then give him to him." So Bilal went to him and said, "Is this your son?" He said, "Yes." So he returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have never seen anyone as steadfast in loyalty to his companion as this man."

[Machine] While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on one of his journeys, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ leaned or leaned back on his saddle, so I supported him with my hands. He woke up and we continued on. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ leaned or leaned back on his saddle again, so I supported him with my hands and he woke up. (3 times) Abu Qatadah said, "I said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'May Allah bless you as you have protected us since last night.' Then he said, 'I can only see that we have lost our way, go back or lead us back to the path.' He said, 'So we turned back from the path.' I held the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ camel's reins, and each one of us held onto a part of his camel's reins. We did not wake up until the sun rose and we heard the sound of the dough being kneaded. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, have we perished? The prayer has passed us by.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'You have not perished, and the prayer has not missed you. Only the two people who were awake missed it, but the one who was sleeping did not miss it. Is there any water?' He said, 'So I brought a bucket or a basin with water and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution, then he handed it to me with some water left in it. He said, 'Keep it, for it will have some benefit.' Then he ordered Bilal to call the Adhan and he prayed two Rak'ahs, then he turned in his place and ordered him to stand and he established the dawn prayer. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, 'If the people obey Abu Bakr and Umar, they will have done well and will have found guidance. But if they oppose them, they have caused division and they both were present with the Prophet ﷺ when he died. They said to the people, 'Stay where you are until you reach the water,' and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ reached them at the end of the day and they were on the verge of dying of thirst. They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, have we perished?' So he called for a container and called for another container placed on top of coffee vessel and below it, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ dipped them in it. Then he poured water into the container and the people drank until they were satisfied. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Is there any more water?' He said, 'Then he returned the container, which still had some water in it.' He said, 'So we asked him, 'How many were you?' He said, 'There were eighty men with Abu Bakr and Umar, and we were twelve men with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .'

[Machine] "Julaibib used to enter upon women and interact with them. So I said to my wife, 'Julaibib should not enter upon you, for if he were to enter upon you, I am afraid that he would do something.' The Ansar would not marry off their daughters until they found out if there was any need for the Prophet, ﷺ , in her. So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to a man from the Ansar, 'Marry your daughter to me.' He said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah, this is certainly an honor.' The Prophet, ﷺ , said, 'I don't want her for myself, but I want her for Julaibib.' The man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, for Julaibib?' He said, 'Yes, for Julaibib.' So he consulted her mother, and when the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came, he informed her of what her mother had said. She said, 'Julaibib, is it him?' She repeated this three times. 'Yes, by Allah, for I will not marry him.' So when he wanted to stand up to inform the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , of what she had said, the girl said, 'Who proposed to me to you?' Her mother informed her. She said, 'Are you rejecting the command of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ?' Push me, for he has not disappointed me.' So her father went to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and informed him. He said, 'What is your opinion about her?' Then he married her to Julaibib. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , went on a campaign, and when Allah granted them victory, he asked his companions, 'Have you lost anyone?' They said, 'We have lost so-and-so, and we have lost so-and-so.' He said, 'Look, have you lost anyone?' They said, 'No.' He said, 'But I have lost Julaibib.' So seek him among the slain.' They searched for him until they found him beside seven men he had killed, and then they killed him.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, here he is, beside seven men he had killed, and then they killed him.' So the Prophet, ﷺ , stood over him and said, 'He has killed seven and then they killed him. This one is from me and I am from him. This one is from me and I am from him.' He raised his head and placed him on his side, and there was no bed except that of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . Then he placed him in his grave. It is not mentioned that he was bathed. Thabit said, 'Wealth that the Ansar had would be spent but they did not find anyone who narrated about it in this world except Hammad bin Salamah. How well he narrated it.'"

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

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

I divorced my wife. I then came to Medina to sell my land that was there so that I could buy arms and fight in battle. I met a group of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ. They said: Six persons of us intended to do so (i.e. divorce their wives and purchase weapons), but the Prophet ﷺ prohibited them. He said: For you in the Messenger of Allah there is an excellent model. I then came to Ibn 'Abbas and asked him about the witr observed by the Prophet ﷺ. He said: I point to you a person who is most familiar with the witr observed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Go to 'Aishah. While going to her I asked Hakim b. Aflah to accompany me. He refused, but I adjured him. He, therefore, went along with me. We sought permission to enter upon 'Aishah. She said: Who is this ? He said: Hakim b. Aflah. She asked: Who is with you ? He replied: Sa'd b. Hisham. She said: Hisham son of 'Amir who was killed in the Battle of Uhud. I said: Yes. She said: What a good man 'Amir was! I said: Mother of faithful, tell me about the character of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She asked: Do you not recite the Quran ? The character of Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the Qur'an. I asked: Tell me about his vigil and prayer at night. She replied: Do you not recite: "O thou folded in garments" (73:1). I said: Why not ? When the opening of this Surah was revealed, the Companions stood praying (most of the night) until their fett swelled, and the concluding verses were not revealed for twelve months from heaven. At last the concluding verses were revealed and the prayer at night became voluntary after it was obligatory. I said: Tell me about the witr of the Prophet ﷺ. She replied: He used to pray eight rak'ahs, sitting only during the eighth of them. Then he would stand up and pray another rak'ahs. He would sit only after the eighth and the ninth rak'ahs. He would utter salutation only after the ninth rak'ah. He would then pray two rak'ahs sitting and that made eleven rak'ahs, O my son. But when he grew old and became fleshy he observed a witr of seven, sitting only in sixth and seventh rak'ahs, and would utter salutation only after the seventh rak'ah. He would then pray two rak'ahs sitting, and that made nine rak'ahs, O my son. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not pray through a whole night, or recite the whole Qur'an in a night or fast a complete month except in Ramadan. When he offered prayer, he would do that regularly. When he was overtaken by sleep at night, he would pray twelve rak'ahs. The narrator said: I came to Ibn 'Abbas and narrated all this to him. By Allah, this is really a tradition. Has I been on speaking terms with her, I would have come to her and heard it from her mouth. I said: If I knew that you were not on speaking terms with her, I would have never narrated it to you. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1342)

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

زَيْدُ بْنُ سَعْنَةَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا مِنَ الْحُجُرَاتِ وَمَعَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ كَالْبَدَوِيِّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ بُصْرَى قَرْيَةُ بَنِي فُلَانٍ قَدْ أَسْلَمُوا وَدَخَلُوا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَكُنْتُ حَدَّثَتْهُمْ إِنْ أَسْلَمُوا آتَاهُمُ الرِّزْقُ رَغَدًا وَقَدْ أَصَابَتْهُمْ سَنَةٌ وَشِدَّةٌ وَقُحُوطٌ مِنَ الْغَيْثِ فَأَنَا أَخْشَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ طَمَعًا كَمَا دَخَلُوا فِيهِ طَمَعًا فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِشَيْءٍ تُعِينُهُمْ بِهِ فَعَلْتَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ رَجُلٌ وَإِلَى جَانِبِهِ أُرَاهُ عَلِيًّا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ سَعْنَةَ فَدَنَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَبِيعَنِي تَمْرًا مَعْلُومًا مِنْ حَائِطِ بَنِي فُلَانٍ إِلَى أَجَلِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ «لَا يَا يَهُودِيُّ وَلَكِنْ أَبِيعُكَ تَمْرًا مَعْلُومًا إِلَى أَجَلِ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَلَا أُسَمِّيَ حَائِطَ بَنِي فُلَانٍ» فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَبَايَعَنِي فَأَطْلَقْتُ هِمْيَانِي فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ ثَمَانِينَ مِثْقَالًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِي تَمْرٍ مَعْلُومٍ إِلَى أَجَلِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَأَعْطَاهَا الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ اعْدِلْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَعِنْهُمْ بِهَا فَقَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ سَعْنَةَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ قَبْلَ مَحَلِّ الْأَجَلِ بِيَوْمَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٍ أَتَيْتُهُ فَأَخَذْتُ بِمَجَامِعِ قَمِيصِهِ وَرِدَائِهِ وَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِوَجْهٍ غَلِيظٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَلَا تَقْضِيَنِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ حَقِّي فَوَاللَّهِ مَا عُلِمْتُمْ يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ سَيِّئَ الْقَضَاءِ مَطْلٌ وَلَقَدْ كَانَ لِي بِمُخَالَطَتِكُمْ عِلْمٌ وَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَإِذَا عَيْنَاهُ تَدُورَانِ فِي وَجْهِهِ كَالْفَلَكِ الْمُسْتَدِيرِ ثُمَّ رَمَانِي بِبَصَرِهِ فَقَالَ يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ أَتَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا أَسْمَعُ وَتَصْنَعَ بِهِ مَا أَرَى فَوَالَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ لَوْلَا مَا أُحَاذِرُ قُوَّتَهُ لَضَرَبْتُ بِسَيْفِي رَأْسَكَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى عُمَرَ فِي سُكُونٍ وَتُؤَدَةٍ وَتَبَسَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا عُمَرُ أَنَا وَهُوَ كُنَّا أَحْوَجَ إِلَى غَيْرِ هَذَا أَنْ تَأْمُرَنِي بِحُسْنِ الْأَدَاءِ وَتَأْمُرَهُ بِحُسْنِ التِّبَاعَةِ اذْهَبْ بِهِ يَا عُمَرُ فَاعْطِهِ حَقَّهُ وَزِدْهُ عِشْرِينَ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ» فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةُ يَا عُمَرُ قَالَ أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنْ أَزِيدَكَ مَكَانَ مَا نَقِمتُكَ» قُلْتُ أَتَعْرِفُنِي يَا عُمَرُ؟ قَالَ لَا مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قُلْتُ زَيْدُ بْنُ سَعْنَةَ قَالَ الْحَبْرُ قُلْتُ الْحَبْرُ قَالَ فَمَا دَعَاكَ أَنْ فَعَلْتَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا فَعَلْتَ وَقُلْتَ لَهُ مَا قُلْتَ؟ قُلْتُ لَهُ يَا عُمَرُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مِنْ عَلَامَاتِ النُّبُوَّةِ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا وَقَدْ عَرَفْتُهُ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ نَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ إِلَّا اثْنَيْنِ لَمْ أَخْبُرْهُمَا مِنْهُ «هَلْ يَسْبِقُ حِلْمُهُ جَهْلَهُ وَلَا تَزِيدُهُ شِدَّةُ الْجَهْلِ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا حِلْمًا» فَقَدِ اخْتَبَرْتُهُمَا فَأُشْهِدُكَ يَا عُمَرُ أَنِّي قَدْ رَضِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ نَبِيًّا وَأُشْهِدُكَ أَنْ شَطْرَ مَالِي فَإِنِّي أَكْثَرُهُمْ مَالًا صَدَقَةً عَلَى أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَوْ عَلَى بَعْضِهِمْ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَسَعَهُمْ قُلْتُ أَوْ عَلَى بَعْضِهِمْ فَرَجَعَ زَيْدٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ زَيْدٌ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَآمَنَ بِهِ وَصَدَّقَهُ وَبَايَعَهُ وَشَهِدَ مَعَهُ مَشَاهِدَ كَثِيرَةً ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ زَيْدٌ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ مُقْبِلًا غَيْرَ مُدْبِرٍ وَرَحِمَ اللَّهُ زَيْدًا

"The people of As-Suffah were the guests of the people of Islam,they had nothing of people nor wealth to rely upon. And By Allah, the One Whom there is none worthy of worship besides Him – I would lay on the ground on my liver (side) due to hunger, And I would fasten a stone to my stomach out of hunger. One day I sat by the way that they (the Companions) use to come out through. Abu Bakr passed and so I asked him about an Ayah from Allah's Book, not asking him except that he might tell me to follow him (for something to eat). But he passed on without doing so. Then ʿUmar passed, so I asked him about an Ayah from Allah's Book, not asking him except that he might tell me to follow him. But he passed on without doing so. Then Abul-Qasim ﷺ passed, and he smiled when he saw me, and said: 'Abu Hurairah?' I said: 'I am here O Messenger of Allah!' He said: 'Come along.' He continued and I followed him, he entered his house, so I sought permission to enter, and he permitted me. He found a bowl of milk and said: 'Where did this milk come from?' It was said: 'It was a gift to us from so – and – so.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'O Abu Hurairah' I said: 'I am here O Messenger of Allah!' He said: 'Go to the people of As-Suffah to invite them.' - Now, they were the guests of the people of Islam, they had nothing of people nor wealth to rely upon. Whenever some charity was brought to him, he would send it to them without using any of it. And when a gift was given to him ﷺ, he would send for them to participate and share with him in it. I became upset about that, and I said (to myself): 'What good will this bowl be among the people of As-Suffah and I am the one bringing it to them?' Then he ordered me to circulate it among them (So I wondered) what of it would reach me from it, and I hoped that I would get from it what would satisfy me. But I would certainly not neglect to obey Allah and obey His Messenger, so I went to them and invited them. When they entered upon him they sat down. He said: 'Abu Hurairah, take the bowl and give it to them.' So I gave it to a man who drank his fill, then he gave it to another one, until it ended up with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and all of the people had drank their fill. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the bowl, put it on his hand,then raised his head. He smiled and said: 'Abu Hurairah, drink.' So I drank, then he said: 'Drink.' I kept drinking and he kept on saying, 'Drink.' Then I said: 'By the One Who sent you with the truth! I have no more space for it.' So he took the bowl and praised Allah, mentioned His Name and drank.'” (Sahih) (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2477)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions continued on the year of the conquest until they reached Marr Al-Zuhra with ten thousand Muslims. Sulaym and Muzaynah were there, and in every tribe there was a number of people who had embraced Islam. The Muhajirun (emigrants) and the Ansar (helpers) were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and none of them stayed behind. The news about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became unknown to the Quraysh, and they did not receive any information about what he was doing. Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith and Abdullah ibn Abi Umayyah ibn al-Mughirah met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Thaniyyat al-Aqabah on the way from Makkah to Madinah, and they sought permission to enter. Umm Salamah spoke to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is your cousin, the son of your aunt, and your son-in-law." He replied, "I have no need for them. As for my cousin, he has violated my honour, and as for my aunt's son and my son-in-law, he was the one who said to me in Makkah what he said." When the news reached them, Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith had a son who said, "By Allah, the Messenger of Allah will either give permission for me, or I will take his son by the hand, and we will go away and die of thirst or hunger." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard about this, he sent for them, and they entered upon him. Abu Sufyan began reciting poetry about his Islam and his apology for what had happened in the past. He said, "By your life, on the day I carry a flag, the horses of al-Lat will defeat the horses of Muhammad, even if the dark night lasts long. This is the time for truth to guide and direct me. So tell Ta'if that I do not seek to fight them, and tell Ta'if that I am ready for them, guided by someone other than myself, who has guided me to Allah. I will flee quickly and strive to fight against Muhammad, even if I am not related to him. They are a group of people who do not follow their desires, even if they are intelligent and logical." He continued, "I desire for them to be pleased with me, and I will not leave them until I have been guided in every sitting. I was not in the army that gained victory, nor did my tongue bring any good, nor did my hands touch any tribe that came from distant lands, with arrows and swords. Indeed, the one you expelled and insulted will strive hard to seek revenge, not restrained by custom." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard Abu Sufyan recite poetry about himself, he struck him in the chest and said, "You are the one who expelled and insulted me." Ibn Ishaq mentioned, "The mother of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died while she was visiting her relatives from the Banu Najjar tribe."

“We were participating in a battle along with the Messenger of Allah, and there were some people from the Bedouins with us. So we all rushed toward some water and the Bedouins raced us to it. One of the Bedouins beat his companions to it and he (tried to obstruct) the pond, he placed rocks around it and he put a leather sheet over it until his companions came.” He said: “A man among the Ansar reached the Bedouin and he dropped the reigns of his camel to drink, but the Bedouin would not allow him. So he started removing the barriers around the water, but the Bedouin raised a stick beating the Ansari man on the head, and smashed it. He went to Abdullah bin Ubayy, the head of the hypocrite, to inform him – he was in fact one of his companions. So Abdullah bin Ubayy became enraged, the he said: ‘Do not spend anything on whoever is with Muhammad until they depart.’ Meaning the Bedouins. They were preparing food for the Messenger of Allah. So Abdullah said: ‘When they depart from Muhammad, then bring Muhammad some food, and let him and whoever is with him eat it.’ Then he said to his companions: ‘If we return to Al-Madinah, indeed the more honorable will expel therefrom the meaner.’” Zaid said: “And I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah, and I had heard Abdullah bin Ubayy, so I informed my uncle who went to tell the Messenger of Allah. He sent a message to him (Abdullah) but he took an oath and denied it.” He said: “So the Messenger of Allah accepted what he said and did not believe me. So my uncle came to me and said: ‘You only wanted the Messenger of Allah to hate you, and the Muslims to say that you lied.’” He said: “I suffered such worry as has not been suffered by anyone else.” He said: “(Later) while I was on the move with the Messenger of Allah on a journey, my mind was relieved of worry, since the Messenger of Allah came to me and rubbed my ear and smiled in my face. I would never be happier than with that as long as the world remained. Then Abu Bakr caught up to me, and said: ‘What did the Messenger of Allah say to you?’ I said: ‘He did not say anything to me, he only rubbed my ear and smiled in my face.’ He said: ‘Receive the good news!’ Then Umar caught up with me and I said the same to him as I had said to Abu Bakr. In the morning the Messenger of Allah recited Surat Al-Munafiqin.” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3313)

غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ مَعَنَا نَاسٌ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ فَكُنَّا نَبْتَدِرُ الْمَاءَ وَكَانَ الْأَعْرَابُ يَسْبِقُونَا فَيَسْبِقُ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ أَصْحَابَهُ فَيَمْلَأُ الْحَوْضَ وَيَجْعَلُ حَوْلَهُ حِجَارَةً وَيَجْعَلُ النِّطْعَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَجِيءَ أَصْحَابُهُ فَأَتَى رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ الْأَعْرَابِيَّ فَأَرْخَى زِمَامَ نَاقَتِهِ لِتَشْرَبَ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَدَعَهُ فَانْتَزَعَ حَجَرًا فَفَاضَ فَرَفَعَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ خَشَبَةً فَضَرَبَ بِهَا رَأْسَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ فَشَجَّهُ فَأَتَى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ رَأْسُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَغَضِبَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا تُنْفِقُوا عَلَى مَنْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى يَنْفَضُّوا مِنْ حَوْلِهِ يَعْنِي الْأَعْرَابَ وَكَانُوا يُحَدِّثُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ الطَّعَامِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لِأَصْحَابِهِ إِذَا انْفَضُّوا مِنْ عِنْدِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَأْتُوا مُحَمَّدًا لِلطَّعَامِ فَلْيَأْكُلْ هُوَ وَمَنْ عِنْدَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيُخْرِجِ الْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْأَذَلَّ قَالَ زَيْدٌ وَأَنَا رِدْفُ عَمِّي فَسَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ وَكُنَّا أَخْوَالَهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُ عَمِّي فَانْطَلَقَ فَأَخْبَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَحَلَفَ وَجَحَدَ وَاعْتَذَرَ فَصَدَّقَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَذَّبَنِي فَجَاءَ إِلَى عَمِّي فَقَالَ مَا أَرَدْتَ إِنْ مَقَتَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَذَّبَكَ وَكَذَّبَكَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَوَقَعَ عَلَيَّ مِنَ الْغَمِّ مَا لَمْ يَقَعْ عَلَى أَحَدٍ قَطُّ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ وَقَدْ خَفَقْتُ بِرَأْسِي مِنَ الْهَمِّ فَأَتَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَعَرَكَ أُذُنِي وَضَحِكَ فِي وَجْهِي» فَمَا كَانَ يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ لِيَ بِهَا الْخُلْدُ أَوِ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ لَحِقَنِي فَقَالَ مَا قَالَ لَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قُلْتُ مَا قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ «عَرَكَ أُذُنِي وَضَحِكَ فِي وَجْهِي» فَقَالَ أَبْشِرْ ثُمَّ لَحِقَنِي عُمَرُ فَقَالَ مَا قَالَ لَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ قُولِي لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُورَةَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ {إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ قَالُوا نَشْهَدُ إِنَّكَ لِرَسُولُ اللَّهِ} [المنافقون 1] حَتَّى بَلَغَ {الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ لَا تُنْفِقُوا عَلَى مَنْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَنْفَضُّوا} [المنافقون 7] حَتَّى بَلَغَ {لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْأَذَلَّ} [المنافقون 8] «قَدِ اتَّفَقَ الشَّيْخَانِ عَلَى إِخْرَاجِ أَحْرُفٍ يَسِيرَةٍ مِنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ السَّبِيعِيِّ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ» وَأَخْرَجَ الْبُخَارِيُّ مُتَابِعًا لِأَبِي إِسْحَاقَ مِنْ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ بِطُولِهِ وَالْإِسْنَادُ صَحِيحٌ صحيح وأخرجا منه

[Machine] Abu Bakr went out with the migration to the mosque, and Umar heard about that. He said, "O Abu Bakr, what has brought you out at this hour?" Abu Bakr said, "I was not brought out except by the pangs of hunger that I feel." Umar said, "By Allah, nothing else has brought me out either." While they were in that state, the Prophet ﷺ came out to them and said, "What has brought both of you out at this hour?" They said, "By Allah, nothing has brought us out except the pangs of hunger that we feel." He said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, nothing else has brought me out either. So get up." They continued until they reached the door of Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari. Abu Ayyub used to keep food or milk for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He delayed it that day and did not come until later. He then fed his family and went to work in his date palm tree. When they reached the door, his wife came out and said, "Welcome, O Messenger of Allah, and whoever is with you." The Prophet ﷺ said to her, "Where is Abu Ayyub?" She heard him while he was working in his date palm tree, and he came quickly and said, "Welcome, O Messenger of Allah, and whoever is with you. O Messenger of Allah, this is not the time you usually come." The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "You have spoken the truth." He took a cluster from the date palm tree containing dates, dried dates, and ripe dates, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "I intended nothing but that you gather for us from its dates." Abu Ayyub said, "O Messenger of Allah, I would like for you to eat from its dates, dried dates, and ripe dates, and I would slaughter for you along with it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you slaughter, do not slaughter an elderly one." He took a neck or a leg and slaughtered it. He said to his wife, "Bake bread and knead dough for us. You know how to make bread." He took the leg and cooked half of it. When the food was ready, it was placed in front of the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions. He took from the leg and placed it in a piece of bread and said, "O Abu Ayyub, deliver this to Fatimah. She has not tasted anything like this for days." Abu Ayyub took it to Fatimah, and when they all ate and were satisfied, the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Bread, meat, dates, dried dates, and ripe dates." Tears came to his eyes, and he said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, this is the happiness about which you will be asked on the Day of Resurrection." This greatly affected his Companions, and he said, "Rather, when you attain something similar to this, strike it with your hands and say, 'In the name of Allah.' And when you are satisfied, say, 'All praise is due to Allah, who has fed us and bestowed His blessings upon us. This is sufficient for us.'" When he stood up, he said to Abu Ayyub, "Come to us tomorrow." And no one came to him without him wanting to reward them. Umar said, "Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ ordered you to come to him tomorrow." So he went to him the next day, and he gave him his wife as a gift and said, "O Abu Ayyub, be kind to her, for we have not seen anything but goodness from her as long as she has been with us." When Abu Ayyub brought her from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "I find no better recommendation from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than to free her, so I freed her."

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and we traveled at night until it was late in the night. Then we experienced this incident, and there is no better incident for travelers than this. None of us woke up except due to the heat of the sun. He (the narrator) said, "The first to wake up was so and so, then so and so, then so and so." And they were known as Abu Rajaa's group, but Owf forgot them. Then Umar ibn Al-Khattab, the fourth one, woke up. He (the narrator) said, "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to sleep, we would not wake him up until he woke up, because we did not know what might happen to him in his sleep." He (the narrator) said, "So when Umar woke up and saw what had befallen the people, he exclaimed and raised his voice in takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar), and he continued to exclaim and raise his voice in takbeer until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up due to his voice. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up, he complained about what had happened to them, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'No harm or danger, proceed.' So he (Umar) traveled a short distance and then stopped. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ descended and called for water, performed ablution, and the call to prayer was announced. He led the people in prayer. When he completed his prayer, he saw a man who had not prayed with the rest of the people. He said, 'What prevented you, O so and so, from praying with the people?' He said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I was experiencing sexual impurity and I did not have water.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Go and use the desert sand, for it will suffice you.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ traveled, and the people complained to him about their thirst. So he descended and called for so and so, who was known as Abu Rajaa, and Owf forgot about him, and he called for Ali. He said, 'Go and fetch us water.' So they met a woman carrying water on a camel. They said to her, 'Where is the water?' She said, 'I made a promise to provide water at this hour yesterday, but we are out.' They said, 'Then go,' and she said, 'Where to?' They said, 'To the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' She said, 'Is this the one they call As-Saabi?' They said, 'Yes, that is the one.' So they brought her to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him about it. He (the narrator) said, 'They dismounted her from her camel, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for a container and emptied the water from the mouths of the two water skins. He splashed their openings and released the knot of the water container. Then he called out to the people to drink. So he gave water to whomever he wished and they drank. Finally, he said to the one who had experienced sexual impurity, 'Go, and may it suffice you.' He said, 'By Allah, it did indeed relieve me of the need, but it seems to us that the water was more plentiful than when we first started. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Gather food for her.' So he collected some dates, flour, and barley until they had gathered a lot of food. They placed it in a garment and carried it on her camel. And they placed the garment between her hands. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, 'You know that we did not take anything of your water, but it was Allah who provided it for us.' She went to her people, and they asked her, 'What detained you, O so and so?' She said, 'It is amazing, two men met me and took me to the one they call As-Saabi, and he did such and such to me. By Allah, it seems that he is more skilled in magic than anyone between this and that.' Then she said to her people, 'By Allah, these people invite you to Islam, so is there any Islam for you?' So the people obeyed her and entered into Islam."

[Machine] "We were on a journey with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until we reached the late hours of the night and then encountered that incident. There is no better incident for a traveler than that. None of us woke up except due to the intense heat of the sun that had risen. Fulan and Fulan awoke, and Abu Rajaa' used to call them by that name, but they were known as 'Awf. Then Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) woke up, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not be awakened until he himself woke up, for we did not know what would happen to him in his sleep. So when Umar woke up and saw what had happened to the people, he raised his voice with takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar) continuously. He continued to do so until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up with his voice. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up, those affected complained to him and he said, 'It is of no harm, so continue on.' He then continued on, and went a short distance before descending. He called for wudu (ablution) and performed it. Then the call to prayer was made, and he led the people in prayer. When he finished his prayer, he noticed a man who had separated himself and did not pray with the rest of the people. He asked him, 'What prevented you, O so-and-so, from praying with the people?' The man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I was in a state of janaba (sexual impurity) and had no water.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told him, 'Go to the desert, for it will be sufficient for you.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ continued on. The people complained to him of thirst, so he descended and called upon Fulan, whom Abu Rajaa' used to call, and he forgot his name, and Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, 'Go and bring water.' They set off and met a woman between two hills or valleys with a water container on the back of her camel. They asked her, 'Where is the water?' She replied, 'I made a vow with this water yesterday at this hour, and now we have run out.' They said to her, 'Go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' She asked, 'Is this the one they call As-Saabi?' They replied, 'Yes, it is.' So she set off with them and they brought her to the Prophet ﷺ . He called for a container and poured the water from the mouths of the two hills or valleys into it. Then he placed their mouths back and released the 'Azaliyyah water (rainwater that has gathered in a valley) and called out to the people, 'Come and drink.' He then gave water to whoever he wished. This incident concluded with him giving the one affected by janaba a container of water and saying, 'Go and pour it over yourself.' He said, 'By Allah, it felt as if the liquid was being taken away from me while I was pouring it over my body.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, 'Gather some food for her.' So they gathered dates, figs, barley, and wheat for her until they had collected a large amount of food. They placed it in a cloth and carried it on her camel. They placed the cloth containing the food in front of her and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, 'You know, by Allah, that we did not take any of your water. Rather, it is Allah who provided it for us.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Al Madinah for nine years without performing Hajj. Then he announced to the people that they could go out [for Hajj]. When he reached Dhul-Hulayfah, he performed the prayer of Dhul-Hulayfah as well. Asma bint 'Umays, the wife of Abu Bakr, gave birth to Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr. She sent a message to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he said, "Take a bath, wear your clothes, and come with your family." So she did as he instructed. When the chest of the Prophet ﷺ was relieved, he set on his journey and said, "We only know [about Hajj] for the purpose of performing Hajj. Let us go out for Hajj while the Quran is being revealed to me, and it is known to me how to interpret it. Indeed, he only does what he is commanded to do." Jabir said, "I looked ahead, behind, and to my right and left, and I saw that my sight could reach far. The people were on foot and riding, and the Prophet ﷺ performed the chant: Labbayka Allahumma labbayk, labbayka laa shareeka laka labbayk, inna al-hamd wa an-ni‘amata laka wal-mulk laa shareeka laka" (O Allah, here I am at Your service, here I am. There is no partner with You, here I am. Verily, all praise and favor is for You, and the dominion. There is no partner with You). When we arrived in Makkah, he performed the ritual of Ihram, then performed three Tawaf around the Ka'bah and performed Sa'i [between Safa and Marwah] four times. When he finished his Tawaf, he went to the Maqam and recited the verse: {And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Ibrahim a place of prayer}. He then prayed two Rak'ah behind the Maqam of Ibrahim. After that, he went to Al-Rukn and performed the Raml [walking briskly] between Safa and Marwah, and said, "We begin with what Allah has begun with," and he climbed on Safa until he could see the Ka'bah. Then he said, "Allahu Akbar" three times and said, "There is no deity except Allah, He has no partners. To Him belongs the kingdom, and all praise is for Him. He causes life and gives death. In His hand is all goodness, and He is over all things competent." He repeated this three times. Then he supplicated, and when he descended from Safa, he walked until he reached Marwah. He performed the same actions on Marwah and said the same statement as he did on Safa. He continued to do this seven times. And he said, "Whoever does not have an animal for sacrifice, let him enter into the state of Ihram, and whoever has an animal for sacrifice, let him perform the rites of his Ihram. If it were not for the fact that I brought a sacrificial animal with me, I would have performed 'Umrah." Ali came from Yemen, and the Prophet ﷺ asked him, "By what means did you perform the rites of Ihram, O Ali?" Ali replied, "O Messenger of Allah, I performed the rites of Ihram as you instructed." The Prophet ﷺ said, "If I did not have a sacrificial animal with me, I would also have performed 'Umrah." Ali added, "I entered upon Fatimah, and she had applied kohl and was wearing dyed clothes. I asked her, 'Who commanded you to do this?' She said, 'My father commanded me.' Then Ali went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ hurrying and determined, according to what she has told me. He asked the Prophet ﷺ , and the Prophet ﷺ said, "She told the truth." The Prophet ﷺ sacrificed one hundred camels with his own hands. Ali also sacrificed whatever was left. Then he took a piece from each camel and cooked them all together. They ate from the meat and drank from the broth. Suraqah bin Malik bin Ju'shum said, "Is this an annual tradition or forever?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "No, it is forever. 'Umrah is included in Hajj."

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

[Machine] Umair ibn Wahb al-Jumahi sat with Safwan ibn Umayyah after the people of Badr from the Quraysh were afflicted with calamities in the Hijr Isma'il (a place near the Kaaba). He was one of those who harmed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions and insulted them while they were in Makkah. Umair's son, Wahb ibn Umair, was taken captive by the companions of Badr. Umair mentioned the hardships of the people of Quraysh and Safwan said, "By Allah, there is still life after them." Umair said, "You speak the truth. By Allah, if it weren't for the debts I owe and my children who are vulnerable after me, I would ride to Muhammad to kill him. For in them is my son held captive. So seize this opportunity, Safwan." Safwan said to him, "I will settle your debt and your children will be with my children. They will want for nothing that I am unable to provide." Umair said, "Keep my matter and yours a secret." Safwan agreed. Umair ordered his sword to be sharpened and poisoned, then he set off for Madinah. While Umar ibn al-Khattab was in Madinah, sitting with a group of Muslims, talking about the day of Badr and how Allah had honored them and how they had prevailed over their enemies, he saw Umair ibn Wahb standing at the door of the mosque, his sword wrapped with a cloth. Umar said, "This is that dog, the enemy of Allah, Umair ibn Wahb. He has come for nothing but evil." Umar then went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is the enemy of Allah, Umair ibn Wahb. He has come with his sword wrapped." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Let him in." Umair approached, his sword wrapped, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Send him in, O Umar. Call him

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

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

[Machine] He heard Umar bin Al-Khattab say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out at noon and found Abu Bakr in the mosque, so he asked him, "What brought you out at this hour?" Abu Bakr replied, "What brought you out, O Messenger of Allah?" Then Umar bin Al-Khattab came and asked, "What brought you out?" Abu Bakr replied, "What brought both of you out?" Umar sat down and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ started talking to them. Then he said, "There is strength in both of you that can go to this palm tree and bring back food, drink, and dates." They both said, "Yes." He said, "Come with us to the house of Abu Al-Haytham bin Tayhan Al-Ansari." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went ahead of us, greeted and sought permission three times, and Umm Al-Haytham listened to his greetings from behind the door, hoping that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would increase his greetings for her. When he wanted to leave, Umm Al-Haytham hurried after them and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I heard your greetings, but I wanted you to increase your greetings for us." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her kindly, then he said, "Where is Abu Al-Haytham?" She said, "O Messenger of Allah, he is nearby. He went to fetch water for us. Come in, for the time is near, if Allah wills." So she spread a sheet for them under the tree, and Abu Al-Haytham came rejoicing to meet them. His eyes were comforted by seeing them. He climbed a palm tree and cut off some bunches for them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Count (the bunches), O Abu Al-Haytham." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, you are eating from its fruit and its dates. Then he brought them water and they all drank. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This is part of the blessings that you asked about." Abu Al-Haytham got up to slaughter a sheep for them, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Beware of debt." Umm Al-Haytham started kneading dough and baking for them, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed his head, as did Abu Bakr and Umar, near the dish, so they were awakened and found food laid out before them. They ate until they were satisfied, and then Abu Al-Haytham brought the remaining bunches, and they ate from its dates and its fruit. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ greeted them and prayed for them with goodness.

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ يَقُولُ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ الظُّهْرِ فَوَجَدَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ لَهُ «مَا أَخْرَجَكَ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ؟» قَالَ أَخْرَجَنِي الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَجَاءَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ «يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ مَا أَخْرَجَكَ؟» قَالَ أَخْرَجَنِي الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمَا فَقَعَدَ عُمَرُ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُهُمَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «فِيكُمَا مِنْ قُوَّةٍ تَنْطَلِقَانِ إِلَى هَذَا النَّخْلِ فَتُصِيبَانِ طَعَامًا وَشَرَابًا وَطِلَاءً» قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ «مُرُّوا بِنَا إِلَى مَنْزِلِ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ التَّيْهَانِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ» فَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا فَسَلَّمَ وَاسْتَأْذَنَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَأُمُّ الْهَيْثَمِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْبَابِ تَسْمَعُ سَلَامَهُ تُرِيدُ أَنْ يَزِيدَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ السَّلَامِ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ خَرَجَتْ أُمُّ الْهَيْثَمِ تَسْعَى خَلْفَهُمْ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ وَاللهِ سَمِعْتُ تَسْلِيمَكَ وَلَكِنِّي أَرَدْتُ أَنْ تَزِيدَنَا مِنْ سَلَامِكَ قَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَيْنَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ؟» فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هُوَ قَرِيبٌ ذَهَبَ يَسْتَعْذِبُ لَنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ ادْخُلُوا فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي السَّاعَةَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ فَبَسَطَتْ لَهُمْ بِسَاطًا تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ وَجَاءَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ فَفَرِحَ بِهِمْ وَقَرَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ بِهِمْ وَصَعِدَ عَلَى نَخْلَةٍ فَصَرَمَ لَهُمْ أَعْذَاقًا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «احْتَسِبْ يَا أَبَا الْهَيْثَمِ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ بُسْرِهِ وَمِنْ رُطَبِهِ وَمِنْ تَذْنُوبِهِ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُمْ بِمَاءٍ فَشَرِبُوا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هَذَا مِنَ النَّعِيمِ الَّذِي تُسْأَلُونَ عَنْهُ» فَقَامَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ لَيَذْبَحَ لَهُمْ شَاةً فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِيَّاكَ وَاللَّبُونَ» وَقَامَتْ أُمُّ الْهَيْثَمِ تَعْجِنُ وَتَخْبِزُ لَهُمْ وَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ ؓ رُءُوسَهُمْ لِلْقَائِلَةِ فَأُيْقُظُوا وَقَدْ أُدْرِكَ طَعَامُهُمْ فَوُضِعَ الطَّعَامُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَأَكَلُوا وَشَبِعُوا وَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ بَقِيَّةَ الْأَعْذَاقِ فَأَكَلُوا مِنْ رُطَبِهِ وَتَذْنُوبِهِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَدَعَا لَهُمْ بِخَيْرٍ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out at a time when he did not usually go out. Abu Bakr then also went out, and he said to him, "What made you go out, Abu Bakr?" Abu Bakr replied, "Hunger made me go out." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Hunger made me go out as well." Then Umar went out, and the Prophet ﷺ asked him, "What made you go out, Umar?" Umar replied, "Hunger made me go out, by Him who sent you with the truth." Then the Prophet ﷺ went to a group of his companions and said to them, "Go with us to the house of Abu Haytham ibn Tayhan." So they went, and when they reached the house, his wife said, "Indeed, Abu Haytham has gone to fetch water for us. Come inside." She opened the door for them, and they sat down. Then Abu Haytham came, and his wife said to him, "Do you know who is here?" He replied, "No." She said, "The Messenger of Allah and his companions are here." So he entered and tied his horse to a palm tree. Then he came to them, greeted them, welcomed them, and brought a bowl filled with dates in water and salt. He placed it in front of them and Abu Haytham desired to give them some of the livestock he had on the side of the house, to slaughter a sheep for them. But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not." So he took a sheep, slaughtered it, skinned it, and cut its parts. He cooked it with water and salt, and then he came to his wife and asked her, "Do you have anything?" She said, "Yes, we have some barley which we had been keeping. We ground it, kneaded it, and baked it." Abu Haytham broke the bread and distributed it to them, along with the cooked meat. Then he went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions, and they ate. The Prophet ﷺ said to Abu Haytham, "Do you have any servant?" He replied, "No, by Him who sent you with the truth, we do not have a servant." The Prophet ﷺ said, "When you receive news that our captives have arrived, come and serve us." So when the captives arrived, Abu Haytham came with two young boys or young men, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "O Abu Haytham, choose one of them." Abu Haytham said, "O Messenger of Allah, choose for me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You may choose one of them." Abu Haytham said, "O Messenger of Allah, make your choice." The Prophet ﷺ said, "The one who seeks advice is safe. O Abu Haytham, take this one." When Abu Haytham left with him, the Prophet ﷺ cautioned him until he disappeared from view. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "The one who offers consultation is trustworthy, O Abu Haytham, take him." Abu Haytham went to his family, and they rejoiced greatly. They said, "Praise be to Allah who has blessed us with a servant to serve and assist us on our farm." Abu Haytham said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has advised me to do so." His wife said, "We will indeed provide him with the same food we eat and the same clothes we wear, and we will not burden him with any work he cannot bear." Abu Haytham said to the young boy, "You are free for the sake of Allah. If you wish, you may stay with us, and we will provide you with the food we eat and the clothes we wear, and we will not burden you with any work except what you can handle. But if you wish, you may leave and go wherever you want."

"The Prophet ﷺ went out during an hour in which he would normally not go out, nor meet with anyone. Then Abu Bakr came to him. So he said:"What brought you O Abu Bakr?" He said: "I came to meet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and to look at his face, and to make sure he was safe. It was not long before 'Umar came. He said: "What has brought you O 'Umar ?" He said: "Hunger O Messenger of Allah!"He said: "I also experienced some of that" So they went to the home of Abu Al-Haitham At-Taiyyihan Al-Ansari. He was a man with many date-palms and sheep, but he had no servants so they did not find him there. They said to his wife: "Where is your companion?" She said: "He has gone to fetch us some good water." It was not long before Abu Al-Haitham came along hauling to a large water-skin which he put down. Then he came to hug the Prophet ﷺ and uttered that his father and mother should be ransomed for him. Then he went to grove of his and he spread out a mat for them. Then he went to a date-palm and returned with a cluster of dates which he put down. The prophet ﷺ said: "Why don't you select some ripe dates for us?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I wanted you to select from the ripe dates and the unripe dates." So they ate and they drank from that water. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! This is among the favors which you shall be asked about on the Day of Judgement. Cool shade, tasty ripe dates, and cool water." Abu Al-Haitham left to prepare some food for them. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Do not slaughter one with milk." So he Slaughtered a small female or male goat and brought it to them so they could eat it. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Do you have any servants?" He said: "No." So he said: "Then if we get some captives we shall bring them for you." So (later) the Prophet ﷺ came with 2 males, there was no third among them and he brought them to Abu Al-Haitham. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Choose from them." He said: "O Prophet of Allah! Choose for me." So the Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed the one consulted is entrusted. Take this one for I have seen him praying, and encourage him to do well." So Abu Al-Haitham went to his wife and informed her of what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said. So his wife said: "You will not fulfill what the Prophet ﷺ said until you have freed him." So he said: "He is free." So the Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed Allah has not send a Prophet nor made a Khalifah except that he has two groups of supporters, group ordering him to do good, and prohibiting him from evil and a group that never ceases spoiling his affairs. So whoever protected." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2369)

خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي سَاعَةٍ لَا يَخْرُجُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَلْقَاهُ فِيهَا أَحَدٌ فَأَتَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ «مَا جَاءَ بِكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ؟» فَقَالَ خَرَجْتُ أَلْقَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنْظُرُ فِي وَجْهِهِ وَالتَّسْلِيمَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ جَاءَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ «مَا جَاءَ بِكَ يَا عُمَرُ؟» قَالَ الْجُوعُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺَ «وَأَنَا قَدْ وَجَدْتُ بَعْضَ ذَلِكَ» فَانْطَلِقُوا إِلَى مَنْزِلِ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ التَّيِّهَانِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا كَثِيرَ النَّخْلِ وَالشَّاءِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ خَدَمٌ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ فَقَالُوا لِامْرَأَتِهِ أَيْنَ صَاحِبُكِ؟ فَقَالَتْ انْطَلَقَ يَسْتَعْذِبْ لَنَا الْمَاءَ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثُوا أَنْ جَاءَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ بِقِرْبَةٍ يَزْعُبُهَا فَوَضَعَهَا ثُمَّ جَاءَ يَلْتَزِمُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَيُفَدِّيهِ بِأَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ بِهِمْ إِلَى حَدِيقَتِهِ فَبَسَطَ لَهُمْ بِسَاطًا ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ إِلَى نَخْلَةٍ فَجَاءَ بِقِنْوٍ فَوَضَعَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَفَلَا تَنَقَّيْتَ لَنَا مِنْ رُطَبِهِ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَرَدْتُ أَنْ تَخْتَارُوا أَوْ قَالَ تَخَيَّرُوا مِنْ رُطَبِهِ وَبُسْرِهِ فَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَاءِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَذَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مِنَ النَّعِيمِ الَّذِي تُسْأَلُونَ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ظِلٌّ بَارِدٌ وَرُطَبٌ طَيِّبٌ وَمَاءٌ بَارِدٌ فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ لِيَصْنَعَ لَهُمْ طَعَامًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَا تَذْبَحَنَّ ذَاتَ دَرٍّ» قَالَ فَذَبَحَ لَهُمْ عَنَاقًا أَوْ جَدْيًا فَأَتَاهُمْ بِهَا فَأَكَلُوا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هَلْ لَكَ خَادِمٌ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَإِذَا أَتَانَا سَبْيٌ فَائْتِنَا» فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِرَأْسَيْنِ لَيْسَ مَعَهُمَا ثَالِثٌ فَأَتَاهُ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «اخْتَرْ مِنْهَا» فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ اخْتَرْ لِي فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّ الْمْسُتْشَارَ مُؤْتَمَنٌ خُذْ هَذَا فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ يُصَلِّي وَاسْتَوْصِ بِهِ مَعْرُوفًا» فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ إِلَى امْرأَتِهِ فَأَخْبَرَهَا بِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ مَا أَنْتَ بِبَالِغٍ مَا قَالَ فِيهِ النَّبِيّ ﷺ إِلَّا أَنْ تُعتِقَهُ قَالَ فَهُوَ عَتِيقٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَبْعَثْ نَبِيًّا وَلَا خَلِيفَةً إلِاَّ وَلَهُ بِطَانَتَاَنِ بِطَانَةٌ تَأْمُرُهُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَاهُ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَبِطَانَةٌ لَا تَأْلُوهُ خَبَالًا وَمَنْ يُوقَ بِطَانَةَ السُّوءِ فَقَدْ وُقِيَ

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah will gather the believers on the Day of Resurrection in the same way (as they are gathered in this life), and they will say, 'Let us ask someone to intercede for us with our Lord that He may relieve us from this place of ours.' Then they will go to Adam and say, 'O Adam! Don't you see the people (people's condition)? Allah created you with His Own Hands and ordered His angels to prostrate before you, and taught you the names of all the things. Please intercede for us with our Lord so that He may relieve us from this place of ours.' Adam will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking' and mention to them the mistakes he had committed, and add, "But you d better go to Noah as he was the first Apostle sent by Allah to the people of the Earth.' They will go to Noah who will reply, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,' and mention the mistake which he made, and add, 'But you'd better go to Abraham, Khalil Ar-Rahman.' They will go to Abraham who will reply, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,' and mention to them the mistakes he made, and add, 'But you'd better go to Moses, a slave whom Allah gave the Torah and to whom He spoke directly' They will go to Moses who will reply, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,' and mention to them the mistakes he made, and add, 'You'd better go to Jesus, Allah's slave and His Apostle and His Word (Be: And it was) and a soul created by Him.' They will go to Jesus who will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking, but you'd better go to Muhammad whose sins of the past and the future had been forgiven (by Allah).' So they will come to me and I will ask the permission of my Lord, and I will be permitted (to present myself) before Him. When I see my Lord, I will fall down in (prostration) before Him and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as He wishes, and then it will be said to me, 'O Muhammad! Raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.' I will then raise my head and praise my Lord with certain praises which He has taught me, and then I will intercede. Allah will allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will fix a limit whom I will admit into Paradise. I will come back again, and when I see my Lord (again), I will fall down in prostration before Him, and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as He wishes, and then He will say, 'O Muhammad! Raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.' I will then praise my Lord with certain praises which He has taught me, and then I will intercede. Allah will allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will fix a limit to whom I will admit into Paradise, I will return again, and when I see my Lord, I will fall down (in prostration) and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as He wishes, and then He will say, 'O Muhammad! Raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to, and ask, for you will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.' I will then praise my Lord with certain praises which He has taught me, and then I will intercede. Allah will allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will fix a limit to whom I will admit into Paradise. I will come back and say, 'O my Lord! None remains in Hell (Fire) but those whom Qur'an has imprisoned therein and for whom eternity in Hell (Fire) has become inevitable.' " The Prophet ﷺ added, "There will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone who says: 'La ilaha illal-lah,' and has in his heart good equal to the weight of a barley grain. Then there will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone who says: ' La ilaha illal-lah,' and has in his heart good equal to the weight of a wheat grain. Then there will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone who says: 'La ilaha illal-lah,' and has in his heart good equal to the weight of an atom (or a smallest ant). (Using translation from Bukhārī 7410)

" Who is this?" They said: "Abu Hurairah." (He said):So I got close to him until I was sitting in front of him as he was narrating to the people. When he was silent and alone, I said to him: " I ask youabsolute truth if you would narrate to me a Hadith which you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, That you understand and know." So Abu Hurairah said: "You want me to narrate a Hadith to you which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated to me that I understand and know." Then Abu Hurairah began sobbing profusely. We sat for a while, then he recovered and said: "I shall narrate to you a Hadith which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated in this House, while there was no one with us other than he and I." Then, again, Abu Hurairah began sobbing severely. Then he recovered, and wiped his face, and said: "you want me to narrate to you a Hadith which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated while he and I were sitting in this House, and no one was with us but he and I." Then Abu Hurairah began sobbing severely. Then he bent, falling on his face, so I supported him for a long time. Then he recovered and said: "The Messenger of Allah narrated to me that on the Day of Judgement, Allah, Most High, will descend to His slaves t judge between them. Every nation shall be kneeling. The first of those who will be called before him will be a man who memorized the Qur'an, and a man who was killed in Allah's cause, and a wealthy man. Allah will say to the reciter: 'Did I not teach you what I revealed to My Messenger?" He says: 'Of course O Lord!' He says: 'Then what did you do with what you learned?' He said: 'I would stand (in prayer reciting) with it during all hours of the night and all hours of the day.' Then Allah would say to him: 'You have lied.' And the angels will say: 'You have lied.'Allah will say to him: 'Rather, you wanted it to be said that so-and-so is a reciter. And that was said.' The person with the wealth will be brought, and Allah will say to him: 'Was I not so generous with you, such that I did not leave you having any need from anyone?' He will say: 'Of course O Lord!' He says: 'Then what did you do with what I gave to you?' He says: 'I would nurture the ties of kinship and give charity.' Then Allah will say to him: 'You have lied.' And the angels will say to him: 'You have lied.' Allah, Most High, will say: 'Rather, you wanted it to be said that so-and-so is so generous, and that was said.' Then the one who was killed in Allah's cause shall be brought, and Allah will say to him : 'For what were you killed?' So he says: 'I was commanded to fight in Your cause ,so I fought until I was killed.' Allah [Most High] will say to him: 'You have lied.' And the angels will say to him: 'You have lied.' Allah [Most High] will say: 'Rather, you wanted it be said that so-and-so is brave, and that was said.' "Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺhit me on my knees and said: 'O Abu Hurairah! These first three are the creatures of Allah with whom the fire will be enflamed on the Day of Judgement.'" Al-Walid Abu 'Uthman Al-Mada'ini said: "So 'Uqbah bin Muslim informed me that Shaufaiy, is the one who entered upon Mu'awiyah to inform him about this." Abu Uthman said: 'This has been done with these people, then how about with those who remain among the people?" Then Mu'awiyah begin weeping so intensely, that we thought that he will kill himself with excessive weeping. We said: "This man came to us to cause evil." Then Mu'awiyah recovered, wiped off his face and said: "Allah and His Messenger told the truth: Whosoever desires the life of the world and its glitter, then we shall pay in full (the wages of) their deeds therein, and they shall have no diminution therein. They are those for whom there is nothing in the Hereafter Fire, and vain are the deeds they did therein. And of no effect is that which they used to do." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2382)

The Prophet ﷺ appointed ʿAbdullah bin Jubair as the commander of the infantry men (archers) who were fifty on the day (of the battle) of Uhud. He instructed them, "Stick to your place, and don't leave it even if you see birds snatching us, till I send for you; and if you see that we have defeated the infidels and made them flee, even then you should not leave your place till I send for you." Then the infidels were defeated. By Allah, I saw the women fleeing lifting up their clothes revealing their leg-bangles and their legs. So, the companions of ʿAbdullah bin Jubair said, "The booty! O people, the booty ! Your companions have become victorious, what are you waiting for now?" ʿAbdullah bin Jubair said, "Have you forgotten what Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to you?" They replied, "By Allah! We will go to the people (i.e. the enemy) and collect our share from the war booty." But when they went to them, they were forced to turn back defeated. At that time Messenger of Allah ﷺ in their rear was calling them back. Only twelve men remained with the Prophet ﷺ and the infidels martyred seventy men from us. On the day (of the battle) of Badr, the Prophet ﷺ and his companions had caused the 'Pagans to lose 140 men, seventy of whom were captured and seventy were killed. Then Abu Sufyan asked thrice, "Is Muhammad present amongst these people?" The Prophet ﷺ ordered his companions not to answer him. Then he asked thrice, "Is the son of Abu Quhafa present amongst these people?" He asked again thrice, "Is the son of Al-Khattab present amongst these people?" He then returned to his companions and said, "As for these (men), they have been killed." ʿUmar could not control himself and said (to Abu Sufyan), "You told a lie, by Allah! O enemy of Allah! All those you have mentioned are alive, and the thing which will make you unhappy is still there." Abu Sufyan said, "Our victory today is a counterbalance to yours in the battle of Badr, and in war (the victory) is always undecided and is shared in turns by the belligerents, and you will find some of your (killed) men mutilated, but I did not urge my men to do so, yet I do not feel sorry for their deed" After that he started reciting cheerfully, "O Hubal, be high! (1) On that the Prophet ﷺ said (to his companions), "Why don't you answer him back?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ What shall we say?" He said, "Say, Allah is Higher and more Sublime." (Then) Abu Sufyan said, "We have the (idol) Al ʿUzza, and you have no ʿUzza." The Prophet said (to his companions), "Why don't you answer him back?" They asked, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! What shall we say?" He said, "Says Allah is our Helper and you have no helper." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3039)

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