I saw ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab (when he was stabbed) saying, "O ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar! Go to the mother of the believers Aisha and say, ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab sends his greetings to you,' and request her to allow me to be buried with my companions." (So, Ibn ʿUmar conveyed the message to ʿAisha.) She said, "I had the idea of having this place for myself but today I prefer him (ʿUmar) to myself (and allow him to be buried there)." When ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar returned, ʿUmar asked him, "What (news) do you have?" He replied, "O chief of the believers! She has allowed you (to be buried there)." On that ʿUmar said, "Nothing was more important to me than to be buried in that (sacred) place. So, when I expire, carry me there and pay my greetings to her (ʿAisha ) and say, ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab asks permission; and if she gives permission, then bury me (there) and if she does not, then take me to the graveyard of the Muslims. I do not think any person has more right for the caliphate than those with whom Messenger of Allah ﷺ was always pleased till his death. And whoever is chosen by the people after me will be the caliph, and you people must listen to him and obey him," and then he mentioned the name of ʿUthman, ʿAli, Talha, Az-Zubair, ʿAbdur-Rahman bin ʿAuf and Saʿd bin Abi Waqqas. By this time a young man from Ansar came and said, "O chief of the believers! Be happy with Allah's glad tidings. The grade which you have in Islam is known to you, then you became the caliph and you ruled with justice and then you have been awarded martyrdom after all this." ʿUmar replied, "O son of my brother! Would that all that privileges will counterbalance (my short comings), so that I neither lose nor gain anything. I recommend my successor to be good to the early emigrants and realize their rights and to protect their honor and sacred things. And I also recommend him to be good to the Ansar who before them, had homes (in Medina) and had adopted the Faith. He should accept the good of the righteous among them and should excuse their wrongdoers. I recommend him to abide by the rules and regulations concerning the Dhimmis (protectees) of Allah and His Apostle, to fulfill their contracts completely and fight for them and not to tax (overburden) them beyond their capabilities."

We went out with Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Khaibar and we travelled during the night. A man amongst the people said to 'Amir bin Al-Aqwa', "Won't you let us hear your poetry?" 'Amir was a poet, and so he got down and started (chanting Huda) reciting for the people, poetry that keep pace with the camel's foot steps, saying, "O Allah! Without You we would not have been guided on the right path, neither would we have given in charity, nor would we have prayed. So please forgive us what we have committed. Let all of us be sacrificed for Your cause and when we meet our enemy, make our feet firm and bestow peace and calmness on us and if they (our enemy) will call us towards an unjust thing we will refuse. The infidels have made a hue and cry to ask others help against us. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who is that driver (of the camels)?" They said, "He is 'Amir bin Al-Aqwa."' He said, "May Allah bestow His mercy on him." A man among the people said, Has Martyrdom been granted to him, O Allah's Prophet! Would that you let us enjoy his company longer." We reached (the people of) Khaibar and besieged them till we were stricken with severe hunger but Allah helped the Muslims conquer Khaibar. In the evening of its conquest the people made many fires. Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "What are those fires? For what are you making fires?" They said, "For cooking meat." He asked, "What kind of meat?" They said, "Donkeys' meat." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Throw away the meat and break the cooking pots." A man said, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Shall we throw away the meat and wash the cooking pots?" He said, "You can do that too." When the army files aligned in rows (for the battle), 'Amir's sword was a short one, and while attacking a Jew with it in order to hit him, the sharp edge of the sword turned back and hit 'Amir's knee and caused him to die. When the Muslims returned (from the battle), Salama said, Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw me pale and said, 'What is wrong with you?"' I said, "Let my parents be sacrificed for you! The people claim that all the deeds of Amir have been annulled." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Who said so?" I replied, "So-and-so and soand- so and Usaid bin Al-Hudair Al-Ansari said, 'Whoever says so is telling a lie. Verily, 'Amir will have double reward."' (While speaking) the Prophet ﷺ put two of his fingers together to indicate that, and added, "He was really a hard-working man and a Mujahid (devout fighter in Allah's Cause) and rarely have there lived in it (i.e., Medina or the battle-field) an "Arab like him."

We marched upon Khaibar with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We journeyed during the night. One of the people said to (my brother) 'Amir b. al-Akwa': Won't you recite to us some of your verses? Amir was a poet. So he began to chant his verses to urge the camels, reciting: O God, if Thou hadst not guided us We would have neither been guided rightly nor practised charity, Nor offered prayers. We wish to lay down our lives for Thee; so forgive Thou our lapses, And keep us steadfast when we encounter (our enemies). Bestow upon us peace and tranquillity. Behold, when with a cry they called upon us to help. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Who is this driver (of the camels)? They said: It is 'Amir. He said: God will show mercy to him. A man said: Martyrdom is reserved for him. Messenger of Allah, would that you had allowed us to benefit ourselves from his life. (The narrator says): We reached Khaibar and besieged them, and (we continued the siege) until extreme hunger afflicted us. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Behold, God has conquered it for you. When it was evening of the day on which the city was conquered. the Muslims lit many fires. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What are these fires? And what are they cooking? They said: They are cooking meat. He asked. Which meat? They said: That of domestic asses. He said: Let them throw it away and break the pots (in which it is being cooked). A man said: Or should they throw it away and wash the pots? He said: They may do that. When the people drew themselves up in battle array 'Amir caught hold of his sword that was rather short He drove a Jew before him to strike him with it. (As he struck him), his sword recoiled and struck his own knee, and 'Amir died of the wound. When the people returned (after the conquest of Kliaibar) and he (Salama) had caught hold of my hand, and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw that I was silent (and dejected) ; he said: What's the matter with thee? I said to him: My father and my mother be thy ransom, people presume that 'Amir's sacrifice has been in vain. He asked: Who has said that? I said: So and so and Usaid b. Hudair al-Ansari. He said: Who has said that has lied. For him (for 'Amir) there is a double reward. (He indicated this by putting two of his fingers together.) He was a devotee of God and a warrior fighting for His cause. There will be hardly any Arab who can fight as bravely as he did. Qutaiba has differed in a few words.

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى خَيْبَرَ فَتَسَيَّرْنَا لَيْلاً فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ لِعَامِرِ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ أَلاَ تُسْمِعُنَا مِنْ هُنَيْهَاتِكَ وَكَانَ عَامِرٌ رَجُلاً شَاعِرًا فَنَزَلَ يَحْدُو بِالْقَوْمِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ لَوْلاَ أَنْتَ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا وَلاَ تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلاَ صَلَّيْنَا فَاغْفِرْ فِدَاءً لَكَ مَا اقْتَفَيْنَا وَثَبِّتِ الأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لاَقَيْنَا وَأَلْقِيَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا إِنَّا إِذَا صِيحَ بِنَا أَتَيْنَا وَبِالصِّيَاحِ عَوَّلُوا عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ هَذَا السَّائِقُ قَالُوا عَامِرٌ قَالَ يَرْحَمُهُ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ وَجَبَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْلاَ أَمْتَعْتَنَا بِهِ قَالَ فَأَتَيْنَا خَيْبَرَ فَحَصَرْنَاهُمْ حَتَّى أَصَابَتْنَا مَخْمَصَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ فَتَحَهَا عَلَيْكُمْ قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَمْسَى النَّاسُ مَسَاءَ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي فُتِحَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْقَدُوا نِيرَانًا كَثِيرَةً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا هَذِهِ النِّيرَانُ عَلَى أَىِّ شَىْءٍ تُوقِدُونَ فَقَالُوا عَلَى لَحْمٍ قَالَ أَىُّ لَحْمٍ قَالُوا لَحْمُ حُمُرِ الإِنْسِيَّةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَهْرِيقُوهَا وَاكْسِرُوهَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَوْ يُهَرِيقُوهَا وَيَغْسِلُوهَا فَقَالَ أَوْ ذَاكَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا تَصَافَّ الْقَوْمُ كَانَ سَيْفُ عَامِرٍ فِيهِ قِصَرٌ فَتَنَاوَلَ بِهِ سَاقَ يَهُودِيٍّ لِيَضْرِبَهُ وَيَرْجِعُ ذُبَابُ سَيْفِهِ فَأَصَابَ رُكْبَةَ عَامِرٍ فَمَاتَ مِنْهُ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَفَلُوا قَالَ سَلَمَةُ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِيَدِي قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَاكِتًا قَالَ مَا لَكَ قُلْتُ لَهُ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي زَعَمُوا أَنَّ عَامِرًا حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ قَالَ مَنْ قَالَهُ قُلْتُ فُلاَنٌ وَفُلاَنٌ وَأُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ كَذَبَ مَنْ قَالَهُ إِنَّ لَهُ لأَجْرَيْنِ وَجَمَعَ بَيْنَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ إِنَّهُ لَجَاهِدٌ مُجَاهِدٌ قَلَّ عَرَبِيٌّ مَشَى بِهَا مِثْلَهُ وَخَالَفَ قُتَيْبَةُ مُحَمَّدًا فِي الْحَدِيثِ فِي حَرْفَيْنِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ عَبَّادٍ وَأَلْقِ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا

What is this hadith that you narrate that the Last Hour would come at such and such time? Thereupon he said: Hallowed be Allah, there is no god but Allah (or the words to the same effect). I have decided that I would not narrate anything to anyone now. I had only said that you would see after some time an important event that the (sacred) House (Ka'ba) would be burnt and it would happen and definitely happen. He then reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The Dajjal would appear in my Ummah and he would stay (in the world) for forty - I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years. And Allah would then send Jesus son of Mary who would resemble 'Urwa b Mas'ud. He (Jesus Christ) would chase him and kill him. Then people would live for seven years that there would be no rancour between two persons. Then Allah would send cold wind from the side of Syria that none would survive upon the earth having a speck of good in him or faith in him but he would die, so much so that even if some amongst you were to enter the innermost part of the mountain, this wind would reach that place also and that would cause his death. I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Only the wicked people would survive and they would be as careless as birds with the characteristics of beasts. They would never appreciate the good nor condemn evil. Then Satan would come to them in human form and would say: Don't you respond? And they would say: What do you order us? And he would command them to worship the idols but, in spite of this, they would have abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives. Then the trumpet would be blown and no one would hear that but he would bend his neck to one side and raise it from the other side and the first one to hear that trumpet would be the person who would be busy in setting right the tank meant for providing water to the camels. He would swoon and the other people would also swoon, then Allah would send or He would cause to send rain which would be like dew and there would grow out of it the bodies of the people. Then the second trumpet would be blown and they would stand up and begin to look (around). Then it would be said: O people, go to your Lord, and make them stand there. And they would be questioned. Then it would be said: Bring out a group (out of them) for the Hell-Fire. And then it would be asked: How much? It would be said: Nine hundred and ninty-nine out of one thousand for the Hell-Fire and that would be the day which would make the children old because of its terror and that would be the day about which it has been said: "On the day when the shank would be uncovered" (lxviii. 42).

Send your son to my residence (to carry this haudaj), and my father said to me: Carry it (for him). So I carried it and there went along with him (with Abu Bakr) my father in order to fetch its price and he ('Azib) said to Abu Bakr: Abu Bakr, narrate to me what you both did on the night when you set out on a journey along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: We set out during the night and went on walking until it was noon, and the path was vacant and so none passed by that (until) there appeared prominently before us a large rock. It had its shade and the rays of the sun did not reach that place. So we got down at that place. I then went to the rock and levelled the ground with my hands at the place where the Prophet ﷺ would take rest under its shade. I then set the bedding and said: Messenger of Allah, go to sleep and I shall keep a watch around you. I went out and watched around him. There we saw a shepherd moving towards that rock with his flock and he intended what we intended (i. e. taking rest). I met him and said to him: Young boy, to which place do you belong? He said: I am a person from Medina. I said, is there any milk in the udders of your sheep and goats? He said: Yes. He took hold of a goat, and I said to him: Clean the udder well so that it should be free from hair, dust and impurity. I saw al-Bara' striking his hand upon the other (to give an indication) how he did that. He milked the goat for me in a wooden cup which he had with him and I had with me a bucket in which I kept water for drinking and for performing ablution. I came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and did not like to awaken him from sleep but he was accidentally startled from the sleep. I poured water upon the milk (till It was cold) and I said: Messenger of Allah, take this milk. He then took It and I was delighted and he (the Holy Prophet) said: Is now not the time to march on? I said: Of course. So he marched on after the sun had passed the meridian and Suraqa b. Malik pursued us and we had been walking on soft, level ground. I said: Messenger of Allah, we are about to be overtaken by them. Thereupon he said: Be not grieved. Verily, Allah is with us. Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ cursed him and his horse sank into the earth. I think he also said: I know you have hurled curse upon me. So supplicate Allah for me and I take an oath that I shall turn everyone away who would come in search of you. So he (Messenger of Allah) supplicated Allah and he was rescued and he came back and to everyone he met, he said: I have combed all this side. In short, he diverted everyone whom he met and he in fact fulfilled his promise.

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

My father told me that he was a companion of Abu Darda'. There was in Damascus a man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ, called Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah. He was a recluse and rarely met the people. He remained engaged in prayer. When he was not praying he was occupied in glorifying Allah and exalting Him until he went to his family. Once he passed us when we were with AbudDarda'. AbudDarda' said to him: Tell us a word which benefits us and does not harm you. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent out a contingent and it came back. One of the men came and sat in the place where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to sit, and he said to a man beside him: Would that you saw us when we met the enemy and so-and-so attacked and cut through a lance. He said: Take it from me and I am a boy of the tribe Ghifar. What do you think about his statement? He replied: I think his reward was lost. Another man heard it and said: I do not think that there is any harm in it. They quarrelled until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard it, and he said: Glory be to Allah! There is no harm if he is rewarded and praised. I saw that AbudDarda' was pleased with it and began to raise his hand to him and say: Did you hear it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: Yes. He continued to repeat it to him so often that I thought he was going to kneel down. He said: On another day he again passed us. AbudDarda' said to him: (Tell us) a word which benefits us and does not harm you. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us: One who spends on (the maintenance of) horses (for jihad) is like the one who spreads his hand to give alms (sadaqah) and does not withhold it. He then passed us on another day. AbudDarda' said to him: (Tell us) a word which benefits us and does no harm to you. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Khuraym al-Asadi would be a fine man were it not for the length of his hair, which reaches the shoulders, and the way he lets his lower garment hang down. When Khuraym heard that, he hurriedly, took a knife, cut his hair in line with his ears and raised his lower garment half way up his legs. He then passed us on another day. AbudDarda' said to him: (tell us) a word which benefits us and does not harm you. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: You are coming to your brethren; so tidy your mounts and tidy your dress, until you are like a mole among the people. Allah does not like obscene words or deeds, or do intentional committing of obscenity. Abu Dawud said: Similarly, Abu Nu'aim narrated from Hisham. He said: Until you will be like a mole among the people.

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

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

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

What is this hadith that you narrate that the Last Hour would come at such and such time? Thereupon he said: Hallowed be Allah, there is no god but Allah (or the words to the same effect). I have decided that I would not narrate anything to anyone now. I had only said that you would see after some time an important event that the (sacred) House (Ka'ba) would be burnt and it would happen and definitely happen. He then reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The Dajjal would appear in my Ummah and he would stay (in the world) for forty - I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years. And Allah would then send Jesus son of Mary who would resemble 'Urwa b Mas'ud. He (Jesus Christ) would chase him and kill him. Then people would live for seven years that there would be no rancour between two persons. Then Allah would send cold wind from the side of Syria that none would survive upon the earth having a speck of good in him or faith in him but he would die, so much so that even if some amongst you were to enter the innermost part of the mountain, this wind would reach that place also and that would cause his death. I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Only the wicked people would survive and they would be as careless as birds with the characteristics of beasts. They would never appreciate the good nor condemn evil. Then Satan would come to them in human form and would say: Don't you respond? And they would say: What do you order us? And he would command them to worship the idols but, in spite of this, they would have abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives. Then the trumpet would be blown and no one would hear that but he would bend his neck to one side and raise it from the other side and the first one to hear that trumpet would be the person who would be busy in setting right the tank meant for providing water to the camels. He would swoon and the other people would also swoon, then Allah would send or He would cause to send rain which would be like dew and there would grow out of it the bodies of the people. Then the second trumpet would be blown and they would stand up and begin to look (around). Then it would be said: O people, go to your Lord, and make them stand there. And they would be questioned. Then it would be said: Bring out a group (out of them) for the Hell-Fire. And then it would be asked: How much? It would be said: Nine hundred and ninty-nine out of one thousand for the Hell-Fire and that would be the day which would make the children old because of its terror and that would be the day about which it has been said: "On the day when the shank would be uncovered" (lxviii. 42).

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

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

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

Rasūlullāh ﷺ mentioned: "... when Allah ﷻ revealed to ʿĪsá b. Maryam: 'I have already released servants from My servants (Yaʾjūj Maʾjūj) who you will not be able to fight, so take My salves for refuge to ˹mount˺ Ṭūr'. Then Allah ﷻ will send forth Yaʾjūj Maʾjūj, and they, as Allah ﷻ said: '...from every slope they will descend.' (Anbiyāʾ 21:96). Then ʿĪsá and his companions will implore Allah ﷻ, then He will send insects toward their necks, and they will turn into predator-prey (farsā) ˹and die˺ like the death of one person. ThenʿĪsá and his companions will get down ˹from mount Ṭur˺ and they will not find a place to stay on land except that it has been filled with a foul stench of their ˹rotting corpses˺. Then ʿĪsá and his companions will implore Allah ﷻ ˹again˺, then He will send forth birds with necks like thereof Bactrian camels (vultures?), and they will carry their ˹corpses˺ and throw them where Allah ﷻ wills." Ibn Jābir said, then Yazīd b. ʿAṭāʾ al-Saksakī narrated to me, from Kaʿb or other than him who said: "then they threw them in the ditch (abyss)". Ibn Jābir said: then I said, O Abū Zayd, and where is the ditch? He said: "Eastwardly..."

[AI] "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.'"

أَنَّ جُلَيْبِيبًا كَانَ امْرَأً يَدْخُلُ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ يَمُرُّ بِهِنَّ وَيُلَاعِبُهُنَّ فَقُلْتُ لِامْرَأَتِي لَا يَدْخُلَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ جُلَيْبِيبٌ؛ فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ لَأَفْعَلَنَّ وَلَأَفْعَلَنَّ قَالَ وَكَانَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ إِذَا كَانَ لِأَحَدِهِمْ أَيِّمٌ لَمْ يُزَوِّجْهَا حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ هَلْ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيهَا حَاجَةٌ؟ أَمْ لَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ زَوِّجْنِي ابْنَتَكَ فَقَالَ نِعِمَّ وَكَرَامَةٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَنُعْمَ عَيْنِي قَالَ إِنِّي لَسْتُ أُرِيدُهَا لِنَفْسِي قَالَ فَلِمَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ لِجُلَيْبِيبٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أُشَاوِرُ أُمَّهَا فَأَتَى أُمَّهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ ابْنَتَكِ فَقَالَتْ نِعِمَّ وَنُعْمَةُ عَيْنِي فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ يَخْطُبُهَا لِنَفْسِهِ إِنَّمَا يَخْطُبُهَا لِجُلَيْبِيبٍ فَقَالَتْ أَجُلَيْبِيبٌ إنية؟ أَجُلَيْبِيبٌ إنية؟ أَجُلَيْبِيبٌ إنية؟ لَا لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَانُزَوَّجُهُ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقُومَ لِيَأْتِيَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِيُخْبِرَهُ بِمَا قَالَتْ أُمُّهَا قَالَتِ الْجَارِيَةُ مَنْ خَطَبَنِي إِلَيْكُمْ؟ فَأَخْبَرَتْهَا أُمُّهَا فَقَالَتْ أَتَرُدُّونَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَمْرَهُ؟ ادْفَعُونِي؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُضَيِّعْنِي فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُوهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ شَأْنَكَ بِهَا فَزَوَّجَهَا جُلَيْبِيبًا قَالَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةٍ لَهُ قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ هَلْ تَفْقِدُونَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ؟ قَالُوا نَفْقِدُ فُلَانًا وَنَفْقِدُ فُلَانًا قَالَ انْظُرُوا هَلْ تَفْقِدُونَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ لَكِنِّي أَفْقِدُ جُلَيْبِيبًا قَالَ فَاطْلُبُوهُ فِي الْقَتْلَى قَالَ فَطَلَبُوهُ فَوَجَدُوهُ إِلَى جَنْبِ سَبْعَةٍ قَدْ قَتَلَهُمْ ثُمَّ قَتَلُوهُ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَا هُوَ ذَا إِلَى جَنْبِ سَبْعَةٍ قَدْ قَتَلَهُمْ ثُمَّ قَتَلُوهُ فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَامَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ قَتَلَ سَبْعَةً وَقَتَلُوهُ هَذَا مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ هَذَا مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ وَضَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى سَاعِدَيْهِ وَحُفِرَ لَهُ مَا لَهُ سَرِيرٌ إِلَّا سَاعِدَا رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ وَضَعَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَلَمْ يُذْكَرْ أَنَّهُ غَسَّلَهُ قَالَ ثَابِتٌ فَمَا كَانَ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ أَيِّمٌ أَنْفَقَ مِنْهَا وَحَدَّثَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ثَابِتًا قَالَ هَلْ تَعْلَمْ مَا دَعَا لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ اللهُمَّ صُبَّ عَلَيْهَا الْخَيْرَ صَبًّا وَلَا تَجْعَلْ عَيْشَهَا كَدًّا كَدًّا قَالَ فَمَا كَانَ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ أَيِّمٌ أَنْفَقَمِنْهَا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَا حَدَّثَ بِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ مَا أَحْسَنَهُ مِنْ حَدِيثٍ

[AI] Julaibib was one of the Ansar (helpers of the Prophet ﷺ). When any of them had a single woman (unmarried daughter) who was not married, they would not marry her until they asked the Prophet ﷺ about her need. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to a man from the Ansar on one day, "Marry your daughter to me." He replied, "Yes, and what a blessing and grace this is for me." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "But for whom?" He replied, "For Julaibib." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, I do not desire her for myself." She asked, "Then for whom?" He said, "For Julaibib." She said, "She would be a small portion for him, for the sake of Allah, I will not marry Julaibib."

When her father got up to go to the Prophet ﷺ, the girl said to her mother from her chamber, "Who has proposed to me to both of you?" Her mother replied, "The Prophet ﷺ." The girl said, "So you both reject the order of the Prophet ﷺ? Take me to the Prophet ﷺ, for he will not let me go astray." So her father went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "What do you want with her?" The Prophet ﷺ married her to Julaibib. While the Prophet ﷺ was on a military expedition and Allah granted him victory, he asked, "Has anyone been lost?" They replied, "Yes, so and so and so and so." The Prophet ﷺ said, "But I (also) lost Julaibib, look for him among the dead." So they looked for him and found him with seven dead (enemy soldiers) beside him. Then they killed him. The Prophet ﷺ stood up and said, "He killed seven, then they killed him. He is one of us and we are those of him." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ carried him on his two arms and there was no bedding for him except the arms of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until they dug a grave for him and placed him in it. And it was not mentioned that he was washed.

أَنَّ جُلَيْبِيبًا كَانَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَكَانَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ لِأَحَدِهِمْ أَيِّمٌ لَمْ يُزَوِّجْهَا حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ أَلِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيهَا حَاجَةٌ أَمْ لَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ زَوِّجْنِي ابْنَتَكَ فَقَالَ نِعِمَّ وَنُعْمَةُ عَيْنٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنِّي لَسْتُ لِنَفْسِي أُرِيدُهَا قَالَ فَلِمَنْ؟ قَالَ لِجُلَيْبِيبٍ قَالَ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْمِرَ أُمَّهَا فَأَتَاهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ ابْنَتَكِ قَالَتْ نِعِمَّ وَنُعْمَةُ عَيْنٍ زَوِّجْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ يُرِيدُهَا لِنَفْسِهِ قَالَتْ فَلِمَنْ؟ قَالَ لِجُلَيْبِيبٍ قَالَتْ حَلْقَى أَجُلَيْبِيبٌ إنية؟ مَرَّتَيْنِ لَا لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَا أُزَوِّجُ جُلَيْبِيبًا قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَامَ أَبُوهَا لِيَأْتِيَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَتِ الْفَتَاةُ لِأُمِّهَا مِنْ خِدْرِهَا مَنْ خَطَبَنِي إِلَيْكُمَا؟ قَالَتْ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَتْ فَتَرُدُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَمْرَهُ ادْفَعُونِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُضَيِّعُنِي فَأَتَى أَبُوهَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ شَأْنَكَ بِهَا فَزَوَّجَهَا جُلَيْبِيبًا فَبَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي مَغْزًى لَهُ وَأَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَلْ تَفْقِدُونَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ؟ قَالُوا نَفْقِدُ فُلَانًا وَنَفْقِدُفُلَانًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ لَكِنِّي أَفْقِدُ جُلَيْبِيبًا فَانْظُرُوهُ فِي الْقَتْلَى فَنَظَرُوهُ فَوَجَدُوهُ إِلَى جَنْبِ سَبْعَةٍ قَدْ قَتَلَهُمْ ثُمَّ قَتَلُوهُ قَالَ فَوَقَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ قَتَلَ سَبْعَةً ثُمَّ قَتَلُوهُ هَذَا مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ ثُمَّ حَمَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى سَاعِدَيْهِ مَا لَهُ سَرِيرٌ غَيْرَ سَاعِدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى حُفِرَ لَهُ ثُمَّ وَضَعَهُ فِي لَحْدِهِ وَمَا ذَكَرَ غُسْلًا

[AI] I heard Jabir bin Abdullah say that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, lost Hamza when the people turned away from the battle. A man said, "I saw him by those trees saying, 'I am the lion of Allah and the lion of His Messenger. O Allah, I disassociate myself from what these people have done, Abu Sufyan and his companions. I apologize to You for their defeat.' So, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, leaned towards him, and when he saw his side, he cried. And when he saw what he was wrapped in, he sobbed. Then he said, 'Isn't there a funeral shroud?' A man from the Ansar stood up and threw a garment on him, then another man stood up and threw a garment on him. Jabir said, 'O Messenger of Allah, this garment is for your father, and this one is for my uncle Hamza.' Then Hamza was brought and the Prophet, peace be upon him, prayed over him. Then the martyrs were brought and placed next to Hamza, and he prayed for them. Then they were lifted and Hamza was left behind until he prayed for all the martyrs. Jabir said, 'I returned while feeling heavy-hearted, for my father had left debts and family behind. When it was night time, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sent for me and said, 'O Jabir, indeed Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, has revived your father and made him speak.' I said, 'And he spoke?' He said, 'He asked for something.' I said, 'What did he ask for?' He said, 'He asked for his soul to be returned and for his enemies to be resurrected so that he may fight for the sake of Allah and be killed again.' Jabir said, 'I believed that they would not return.' The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, 'Hamza is the leader of the martyrs on the Day of Resurrection, according to an authentic chain of narrators, and Abu Hammad is the one who omitted it.'"

سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ فَقَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَمْزَةَ حِينَ فَاءَ النَّاسُ مِنَ الْقِتَالِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ رَأَيْتُهُ عِنْدَ تِلْكَ الشَّجَرَاتِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ أَنَا أَسَدُ اللَّهِ وَأَسَدُ رَسُولِهِ اللَّهُمَّ أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا جَاءَ بِهِ هَؤُلَاءِ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ وَاعْتَذِرُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا صَنَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ بِانْهِزَامِهِمْ فَحَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَحْوَهُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى جَنْبَهُ بَكَى وَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا مُثِّلَ بِهِ شَهَقَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَا كَفَنٌ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَرَمَى بِثَوْبٍ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَامَ آخَرُ فَرَمَى بِثَوْبٍ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا جَابِرُ هَذَا الثَّوْبُ لِأَبِيكَ وَهَذَا لِعَمِّي حَمْزَةُ ثُمَّ جِيءَ بِحَمْزَةَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُجَاءُ بِالشُّهَدَاءِ فَتُوضَعُ إِلَى جَانِبِ حَمْزَةَ فَيُصَلِّي ثُمَّ تَرْفَعُ وَيَتْرُكُ حَمْزَةَ حَتَّى صَلَّى عَلَى الشُّهَدَاءِ كُلِّهِمْ قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ وَأَنَا مُثْقَلٌ قَدْ تَرَكَ أَبِي عَلَيَّ دَيْنًا وَعِيَالًا فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ اللَّيْلِ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا جَابِرُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَحْيَى أَبَاكَ وَكَلَّمَهُ كَلَامًا» قُلْتُ وَكَلَّمَهُ كَلَامًا؟ قَالَ قَالَ لَهُ تَمَنَّ فَقَالَ أَتَمَنَّى أَنْ تَرُدَّ رُوحِي وَتُنْشِئَ خَلْقِي كَمَا كَانَ وَتُرْجِعَنِي إِلَى نَبِيِّكَ فَأُقَاتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَأُقْتَلَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى قَالَ أَنِّي قَضَيْتُ أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ قَالَ وَقَالَ ﷺ «سَيِّدُ الشُّهَدَاءِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَمْزَةُ» صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ أبو حماد هو المفضل بن صدقة قال النسائي متروك

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

What is this hadith that you narrate that the Last Hour would come at such and such time? Thereupon he said: Hallowed be Allah, there is no god but Allah (or the words to the same effect). I have decided that I would not narrate anything to anyone now. I had only said that you would see after some time an important event that the (sacred) House (Ka'ba) would be burnt and it would happen and definitely happen. He then reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The Dajjal would appear in my Ummah and he would stay (in the world) for forty - I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years. And Allah would then send Jesus son of Mary who would resemble 'Urwa b Mas'ud. He (Jesus Christ) would chase him and kill him. Then people would live for seven years that there would be no rancour between two persons. Then Allah would send cold wind from the side of Syria that none would survive upon the earth having a speck of good in him or faith in him but he would die, so much so that even if some amongst you were to enter the innermost part of the mountain, this wind would reach that place also and that would cause his death. I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Only the wicked people would survive and they would be as careless as birds with the characteristics of beasts. They would never appreciate the good nor condemn evil. Then Satan would come to them in human form and would say: Don't you respond? And they would say: What do you order us? And he would command them to worship the idols but, in spite of this, they would have abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives. Then the trumpet would be blown and no one would hear that but he would bend his neck to one side and raise it from the other side and the first one to hear that trumpet would be the person who would be busy in setting right the tank meant for providing water to the camels. He would swoon and the other people would also swoon, then Allah would send or He would cause to send rain which would be like dew and there would grow out of it the bodies of the people. Then the second trumpet would be blown and they would stand up and begin to look (around). Then it would be said: O people, go to your Lord, and make them stand there. And they would be questioned. Then it would be said: Bring out a group (out of them) for the Hell-Fire. And then it would be asked: How much? It would be said: Nine hundred and ninty-nine out of one thousand for the Hell-Fire and that would be the day which would make the children old because of its terror and that would be the day about which it has been said: "On the day when the shank would be uncovered" (lxviii. 42).

Then people would live for seven years that there would be no rancour between two persons.

[AI] Jalibib was a man from the Ansar who used to visit women and talk to them. Abu Barzah said, "I told my wife, 'Jalibib should not enter upon you.'" The companions of the Prophet ﷺ used to not marry off their daughters until they knew whether the Messenger ﷺ wanted them or not. One day, the Prophet ﷺ said to a man from the Ansar, 'O so-and-so, marry your daughter to me.' He said, 'Yes, and may our eyes find rest.' The man asked, 'Is it for myself or someone else?' He replied, 'For Jalibib.' The man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, should I consult her mother?' He then went to her mother and said, 'Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is proposing to marry your daughter.' She replied, 'Yes, and may our eyes find rest.' He asked, 'Is it for himself or someone else?' She said, 'For Jalibib.' He questioned, 'For Jalibib?' She responded, 'By Allah, I will not marry Jalibib.' When her father stood up to go to the Prophet ﷺ , the girl asked her mother, 'Who proposed to you?' She said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' The girl then said, 'Will you reject the proposal of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or me? Accompany me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as he will not disappoint me.' So her father went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'What is your opinion regarding her?' The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'Marry her to Jalibib.' Hammaad said, 'And do you know what he supplicated for her?' Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talhah narrated, 'What did he supplicate?' He said, 'O Allah, pour blessings on them abundantly and do not make their lives difficult.' Thabit said, 'So he married her to him.' While the Prophet ﷺ was in a battle, he asked, 'Is anyone missing?' They said, 'No.' He inquired, 'But I am missing Jalibib. Look for him among the martyrs.' They found him lying beside seven fallen enemies. Then they killed him. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'So he killed seven and they killed him? This act was from me, and I am pleased with him.' He mentioned this seven times, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed him on his arm. There was no bed that did not have the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ arm except for Jalibib's, until he was placed in his grave.' Thabit said, 'He was one of the Ansar who spent in charity whatever he possessed.'

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

And he would command them to worship the idols but, in spite of this, they would have abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives. Then the trumpet would be blown and no one would hear that but he would bend his neck to one side and raise it from the other side and the first one to hear that trumpet would be the person who would be busy in setting right the tank meant for providing water to the camels. He would swoon and the other people would also swoon, then Allah would send or He would cause to send rain which would be like dew and there would grow out of it the bodies of the people. Then the second trumpet would be blown and they would stand up and begin to look (around). Then it would be said: O people, go to your Lord, and make them stand there. And they would be questioned. Then it would be said: Bring out a group (out of them) for the Hell-Fire. And then it would be asked: How much? It would be said: Nine hundred and ninty-nine out of one thousand for the Hell-Fire and that would be the day which would make the children old because of its terror and that would be the day about which it has been said: "On the day when the shank would be uncovered" (lxviii. 42). (Using translation from Muslim 2940a)

[AI] We were with Ibn Umar at Mina when a young man from the people of Basrah came to him and asked him about something. He said: I will inform you about that. He said: I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, one of ten, in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Ibn Masud, Muadh, Hudhayfah, Abu Said al-Khudri, another man whom he named, and me. A young man from the Ansar came, greeted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then sat down and said: O Messenger of Allah, which of the believers is best? He said: "The best of them in character." He said: Then which of the believers is most astute? He said: "Those who remember death most often and are best prepared for it before it descends upon them—or he said, upon him; those are the astute."

Then the young man fell silent, and the Prophet ﷺ turned toward us and said: "Never does indecency appear among a people but that plague and illnesses which had not passed among their forefathers appear among them. They do not diminish the measure and the scale but that they are seized by years of drought, severe hardship in provision, and the ruler’s oppression over them. They do not withhold the zakah of their wealth but that rain from the sky is withheld from them, and were it not for the beasts, they would not be given rain. They do not break the covenant of Allah ﷻ and the covenant of His Messenger but that Allah ﷻ empowers their enemy over them, and they take some of what was in their hands. And when their leaders do not rule by the Book of Allah ﷻ, Allah ﷻ causes their violence to be among themselves."

He said: Then he ordered Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf to prepare for a detachment over which he appointed him. In the morning he had wrapped himself in a black cotton-cloth turban, so the Prophet ﷺ called him, untied it, wrapped the turban on him, and let four fingers’ length hang behind him. Then he said: "Like this, O Ibn Awf, wrap the turban, for it is more Arab in style and better."

Then the Prophet ﷺ ordered Bilal to hand the banner to him. He praised Allah ﷻ, then said: "Go forth all together in the path of Allah ﷻ, and fight those who disbelieve in Allah ﷻ. Do not steal from the spoils, do not betray, do not mutilate, and do not kill a child. This is the covenant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his Sunnah among you."

[AI] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was not supported in a place where he was supported in the Battle of Uhud and this was denied to him. Ibn Abbas said, "Between me and those who deny the Book of Allah, Allah says, 'And Allah has already fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing them with His permission.'" Ibn Abbas said, "The word 'until' in the verse means 'until he forgave you'," and this refers to the archers. This is because the Prophet ﷺ had stationed them at their position and he said, 'Protect our backs. If you see us being killed, do not come to our aid, and if you see us being victorious and gaining spoils, do not share with us.' So when Allah granted victory to the Prophet ﷺ and allowed him to attack the disbelievers, the archers left their positions and entered the battlefield to collect spoils, and the rows of the Prophet's companions became scattered. They were in this state when the horses from that location attacked the Prophet's ﷺ companions. They began striking one another, and many Muslims were killed. From the beginning of the day until the time when the standard-bearer of the disbelievers was killed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions faced seven or nine of the enemy's division. The Muslims launched an attack against the horses, but they were not successful. The people said that the cave was beneath them, and the Shaytan shouted, 'Muhammad has been killed, so do not doubt it.' He said, 'And we do not doubt that he has indeed been killed,' until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ emerged between the two mountains and we recognized him by the way he walked. He said, 'So we rejoiced as if we had not been afflicted with what we had been afflicted with.' He said, 'Then he came to us while saying, 'The anger of Allah has intensified over a people who shed the blood of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' And he said again, 'O Allah, they cannot defeat us until they come to us.' So he stayed for an hour, and then Abu Sufyan shouted from beneath the mountain, 'Declare your superiority, O Hubal! Where is the son of Abu Kabsha? Where is the son of Abu Quhafa? Where is the son of Al-Khattab?' Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, shall I answer him?' He said, 'Yes.' So when Abu Sufyan said, Declare your superiority, O Hubal!' Umar said, 'Allah is the Most High and the Most Honorable.' Abu Sufyan said, 'O son of Al-Khattab, you have obtained some good fortune, but today you have come face to face with its like.' Umar said, 'This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, this is Abu Bakr, and this is Umar.' Abu Sufyan said, 'There are days that alternate with one another, and this is a battle where lives are lost.' Umar said, 'Killing us does not compare to being killed in Paradise.' Abu Sufyan said, 'You believe that?' Umar said, 'Indeed, if that is what you think, then we have lost and been defeated.' Then Abu Sufyan said, 'You will find in our killing you similar to our being killed.' And this was not according to our opinion. Then he was met by Hamiyah, the chief of the idolaters, and he said, 'Indeed, what you have said is something we do not deny.'"

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

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

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

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

[AI] I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was sitting in the mosque. The people said, "This is Adi bin Hatim, and he used to be a Christian." I came to him without any security or script, and when I was given the opportunity, he held my hand and said, "I hope that Allah will unite his hand with mine." He then walked with me until we met a woman and a child with her. They said, "We have a need from you." So he went with her and fulfilled her need, then he took me by the hand until we reached his house. I was given a cushion to sit on, and I sat in front of him. He praised and glorified Allah, and then said, "What led you to think that no one is worthy of being worshiped except Allah?" Then he spoke for a while and said, "Does it surprise you or does it harm you that Allah is said to be greater? Do you know anything greater than Allah?" I said, "No." He said, "Verily, the Jews are despised, and the Christians are astray." I said, "I am a Hanif (upright) Muslim." I saw his face light up with joy. Then he ordered me to go to a man from the Ansar, and I went to him in the middle of the day. While I was with him in the evening, some people came to him wearing woolen clothes from this Nimar. He prayed, and then he stood and advised them. He said, "A bushel or half a bushel, even if it is with a handful, should be used to protect one's face from the heat of Hellfire. Even if it is with half a date, one of you should meet Allah with something to say. Did I not make for you hearing and sight?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Did I not make for you wealth and children?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Then where are those things that you have prepared for yourselves?" He looked in front of him, behind him, to his right, and to his left, and he did not find anything that would protect his face. So let one of you protect his face from the Fire, even if it is with half a date. If he cannot find that, then with a good word. Indeed, I do not fear poverty for you, for Allah is your Helper and Provider until the Day of Resurrection. The distance between Al-Tharib and Al-Hira is not far, and what is feared most for its livestock is theft. So I started to say to myself, "Where are the thieves of Thay?"

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ هَذَا عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ وَكُنْتُ نَصْرَانِيًّا وَجِئْتُ بِغَيْرِ أَمَانٍ وَلَا كِتَابٍ فَلَمَّا دُفِعْتُ إِلَيْهِ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي وَقَدْ كَانَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «إنِِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَجْعَلَ اللهُ يَدَهُ فِي يَدِي» فَقَامَ بِي فَلَقِيتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ وَصَبِيٌّ مَعَهَا فَقَالَا إِنَّ لَنَا إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةً فَقَامَ مَعَهَا حَتَّى قَضَى حَاجَتَهَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي حَتَّى أَتَى دَارَهُ فَأُلْقِيَتْ لَهُ وِسَادَةً فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهَا وَجَلَسْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَمْ يَغُرَّكَ إلَّا أَنْ يُقَالَ إِلَّا اللهُ فَهَلْ تَعْلَمُ منْ إِلَهٍ إِلَّا اللهَ؟ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا يَغُرُّكَ أَوْ يَضُرُّكَ إِلَّا أَنْ يُقَالَ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ فَهَلْ تَعْلَمُ شَيْئًا أَكْبَرَ مِنَ اللهِ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ «إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ مَغْضُوبٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَإِنَّ النَّصَارَى ضُلَّالٌ» قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي حَنِيفٌ مُسْلِمٌ فَرَأَيْتُ وَجْهَهُ يَنْبَسِطُ فَرَحًا ثُمَّ أَمَرَنِي فَنَزَلَتْ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَعَلْتُ آتِيهِ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا عِنْدَهُ عَشِيَّةً إِذْ أَتَاهُ قَوْمٌ فِي ثِيَابٍ مِنْ صُوفٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ النِّمَارِ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ قَامَ فَحَثَّ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِصَاعٍ أَوْ نِصْفِ صَاعٍ أَوْ نَصِيفِهِ وَلَوْ بِبَعْضِ قَبْضَةٍ يَقِي أَحَدُكُمْ وَجْهَهُ مِنْ حَرِّ جَهَنَّمَ أَوِ النَّارِ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ التَّمْرَةِ فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَاقِي اللهَ فَقَائِلٌ لَهُ مَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ أَلَمْ أَجْعَلْ لَكَ سَمْعًا وَبَصَرًا فَيَقُولُ بَلَى فَيَقُولُ أَلَمْ أَجْعَلْ لَكَ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا؟ فَيَقُولُ بَلَى فَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ مَا قَدَّمْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ فَيَنْظُرُ أَمَامَهُ وَخَلْفَهُ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ فَلَا يَجِدُ شَيْئًا يَقِي بِهِ وَجْهَهُ فليَوقِّي أَحَدُكُمْ وَجْهَهُ النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَبِكَلِمَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ فَإِنِّي لَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْفَاقَةَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ نَاصِرُكُمْ وَمُعْطِيكُمْ حَتَّى تَسِيرَ الظَّعِينَةُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ يَثْرِبَ وَالْحِيرَةِ وَأَكْثَرَ مَا يُخَافُ عَلَى مَطِيَّتِهَا السَّرَقُ فَجَعَلْتُ أَقُولُ فِي نَفْسِي فَأَيْنَ لُصُوصُ طَيِّئٍ

Messenger of Allah, I have lost my eyesight and I lead my people in prayer. When there is a downpour there is then a current (of water) in the valley that stands between me and them and I find it impossible to go to their mosque and lead them in prayer. Messenger of Allah, I earnestly beg of you that you should come and observe prayer at a place of worship (in my house) so that I should then use it as a place of worship. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Well, it God so wills. I would soon do so. 'Itban said: On the following day when the day dawned, the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) came along with Abu Bakr at-Siddiq, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked permission (to get into the house). I gave him the permission, and be did not sit after entering the house, when he said: At what place in your house you desire me to say prayer? I ('Itban b. Malik) said: I pointed to a corner in the house, The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood (at that place for prayer) and pronounced Allah-o-Akbar (Allah is the Greatest) (as an expression for the commencement of prayer). We too stood behind him, and he said two rak'ahs and then pronounced salutation (marking the end of the prayer). We detained him (the Holy Prophet) for the meat curry we had prepared for, him. The people of the neighbouring houses came and thus there was a good gathering in (our house). One of them said: Where is Malik b. Dukhshun? Upon this one of them remarked: He is a hypocrite; he does not love Allah and His Messenger. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do not say so about him. Don't you see that he utters La ilaha ill-Allah (There is no god but Allah) and seeks the pleasure of Allah through it? They said: Allah and His Messenger know beet. One (among the audience) said: We see his inclination and wellwishing for hypocrites only. Upon this the Messenger of Allah' ﷺ again said: Verily Allah has forbidden the Fire for one who says: There is no god but Allah, thereby seeking Allah's pleasure. Ibn Shihab said: I asked Husain b. Muhammad al-Ansar (he was one of the leaders of Banu Salim) about the hadith transmitted by Mahmud b. Rabi' and he testified it. (Using translation from Muslim 33c)

أَنَّ عِتْبَانَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ وَهُوَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ أَنْكَرْتُ بَصَرِي وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي لِقَوْمِي وَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْإِمْطَارَاتُ سَالَتِ الْوَادِيَ الَّذِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ وَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ آتِي مَسْجِدَهُمْ فَأُصَلِّيَ لَهُمْ وَوَدِدْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَّكَ تَأْتِيَنِي فَتُصَلِّيَ فِي مُصَلًّى أَتَّخِذُهُ مُصَلًّى فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «سَأَفْعَلُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ» قَالَ عِتْبَانُ فَغَدَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ حِينَ ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَذِنْتُ لَهُ فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَيْنَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ؟» فَأَشَرْتُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ فَقَامَ فَكَبَّرَ فَقُمْنَا وَرَاءَهُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَحَبَسْنَاهُ عَلَى خَزِيرَةٍ صَنَعْنَاهَا فَنَالَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدَّارِ حَوْلَنَا حَتَّى اجْتَمَعَ فِي الْبَيْتِ رِجَالٌ ذُو عَدَدٍ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ أَيْنَ مَالِكُ بْنُ الدُّخْشُنِ؟ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ ذَاكَ مُنَافِقٌ لَا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا تَفْعَلْ أَلَا تَرَاهُ قَدْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللهِ؟» فَقَالُوا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّمَا وَجْهُهُ ونُصْحَتُهُ لِلْمُنَافِقِينَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ حَرَّمَ عَلَى النَّارِ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ يَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللهِ ﷻ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ الْحُصَيْنَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ وَهُوَ أَحَدُ بَنِي سَالِمٍ عَنْ حَدِيثِ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ فَصَدَّقَهُ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ أَوْ تَقُولُونَ الدُّخْشُمَ وَهُوَ الصَّوَابُ

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

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

[AI] Certainly! Here is the passage translated into English:

"I was sitting with Ibn Abbas when nine men came to him and said, 'Either you come with us, or leave us alone, O you.' At that time, he was well and had not yet gone blind. He said, 'I will go with you.' They spoke, but I do not know what they said. He returned while shaking his garment and said, 'Uff and Tuff, they attack a man with ten virtues. They have attacked a man.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I will send a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, whom Allah will never disgrace.' Everyone looked around, and the Messenger said, 'Where is Ali?' He was at the mill grinding, and none of you were grinding for him. So he was summoned, even though he was suffering from sore eyes and could barely see. The Prophet ﷺ spat in his eyes, shook the flag thrice, and then handed it to him. He returned with Safiyyah bint Huyayy. The Prophet ﷺ sent Abu Bakr with Surah Al-Tawbah and then sent Ali after him to take it from him, saying, 'No one will take it but a man who is from me and I am from him.' The Prophet ﷺ gathered Hasan, Husayn, Ali, and Fatimah, covered them with a cloth, and said, 'These are my household and my close kin, so remove impurity from them and purify them thoroughly.' Ali was the first to accept Islam after Khadijah. He wore the garment of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and slept as the polytheists pelted him, thinking he was the Prophet ﷺ . Abu Bakr came and said, 'O Prophet of Allah,' and Ali replied, 'The Prophet of Allah ﷺ has gone towards the well of Maymun.' He followed him and entered the cave with him. Meanwhile, the polytheists continued pelting Ali until morning. During the Battle of Tabuk, Ali asked to join, but the Prophet ﷺ said, 'No.' Ali cried, so the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Are you not pleased to be to me like Aaron was to Moses, except there is no prophet after me?' and said, 'You are my successor among every believer after me.' He blocked all the mosque's doors except Ali's, allowing him to enter while in a state of impurity (junub), for he had no other path. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whoever I am his protector (wali), then Ali is his protector.' Ibn Abbas said, 'Allah informed us in the Quran that He is pleased with the people of the tree; did He inform us afterward that He was ever displeased with them?' The Prophet ﷺ told Umar when he said, 'Grant me permission to strike his neck, meaning Hatib,' he said, 'How do you know? Perhaps Allah has looked at the people of Badr and said, 'Do as you wish, for I have forgiven you.''"

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)

[AI] The Messenger of Allah said, "The Dajjal will come out and Allah will send Jesus son of Mary, ﷺ , as if he were Urwah bin Mas'ood Ath-Thaqafi. He will seek him out and kill him, and then the people will live for nine years without any enmity between them. Then Allah will send a cool wind from the direction of Sham, which will not spare anyone with even an atom's weight of faith in their hearts. The wind will seize them until even if someone were in the depths of a mountain, it would reach them. I heard it from the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . The worst of people will remain, light as birds and with the minds of beasts, not recognizing what is good or rejecting what is evil. The devil will appear to them and command them to worship idols, and they will do so. Their sustenance will be good during that time, but then a blast will be blown in the trumpet and no one will be left except that they will be struck. Then Allah will send rain, from which the bodies of the people will grow. Another blast will be blown, and they will rise, looking around. Then it will be said, 'O people, come to your Lord,' and they will stand. Then it will be said, 'Drive out the people of the Fire,' and it will be asked, 'How many are they?' It will be said, 'Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every one thousand.' On that day, the children will become grey-haired. And on that day, 'The covering of shame will be removed from the leg.' Muhammad bin Ja'far said, "Shu'bah narrated to me this hadith from An-Nu'man bin Salim, and I presented it to him."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ «يَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ فَيَبْعَثُ اللهُ ﷻ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ كَأَنَّهُ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ فَيَطْلُبُهُ فَيُهْلِكُهُ ثُمَّ يَلْبَثُ النَّاسُ بَعْدَهُ تِسْعَ سِنِينَ لَيْسَ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ عَدَاوَةٌ ثُمَّ يُرْسِلُ اللهُ ﷻ رِيحًا بَارِدَةً مِنْ قِبَلِ الشَّامِ فَلَا تُبْقِي أَحَدًا فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ إِلَّا قَبْضَتْهُ حَتَّى لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ كَانَ فِي كَبِدِ جَبَلٍ دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ» قَالَ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَيَبْقَى شِرَارُ النَّاسِ فِي خِفَّةِ الطَّيْرِ وَأَحْلَامِ السِّبَاعِ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ مَعْرُوفًا وَلَا يُنْكِرُونَ مُنْكَرًا فَيَتَمَثَّلُ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَيَأْمُرُهُمْ بِالْأَوْثَانِ فَيَعْبُدُونَهَا وَهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ دَارَّةٌ أَرْزَاقُهُمْ حَسَنَةٌ عِيْشَتُهُمْ ثُمَّ يُنْفُخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَلَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ إِلَّا صُعِقَ ثُمَّ يُرْسِلُ اللهُ أَوْ يُنْزِلُ اللهُ مَطَرًا فَتُنْبُتُ مِنْهُ أَجْسَادُ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ يُنْفَخُ فِيهِ أُخْرَى فَإِذَا هُمْ قِيَامٌ يَنْظُرُونَ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَلُمُّوا إِلَى رَبِّكَمْ {وَقِفُوهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ مَسْئُولُونَ} [الصافات 24] ثُمَّ قَالَ أَخْرِجُوا بَعْثَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيُقَالُ كَمْ؟ فَيُقَالُ مِنْ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ تِسْعُمِائَةٍ وَتِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ فَيَوْمَئِذٍ يُبْعَثُ {الْوِلْدَانُ شِيبًا} [المزمل 17] وَيَوْمَئِذٍ {يُكْشَفُ عَنْ سَاقٍ} [القلم 42] قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ وَعَرَضْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ

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

[AI] I saw Umar ibn Al-Khattab before he was struck by the days in Medina. He stood with Hudhaifah ibn Al-Yaman and Uthman ibn Hunayf and said, "How have you two managed to bear the burden of the earth that it cannot bear?" They said, "We have carried it by a command that it can bear." Hudhaifah said, "If I were to carry it, it would be weakened." Uthman ibn Hunayf said, "I have carried it by a command that it can bear, without any great favor." Umar then said, "See that you have not carried the burden of the earth that it cannot bear." They said, "No." Umar said, "If Allah grants me safety, I will leave the widows of Iraq without needing any man after me." He said, "Only four things came upon him until he was struck." He said, "And between me and him, there is no one except Abdullah ibn Abbas in the morning." He said, "And he used to stand between the rows. If he saw any disorder among them, he would say, 'Stand still until there is no disorder among them.' Then he would proceed and say the takbir." He said, "And perhaps he would recite Surah Yusuf or An-Nahl or something similar in the first raka'a until the people gathered." He said, "And it was only that he would say the takbir." He said, "I heard him say, 'The dog has killed me or the dog has eaten me,' when he was stabbed. Then he flew out of the wound with a double-edged knife that would not pass by anyone to the right or left except that it would stab him, until he stabbed thirteen men and nine of them died. When he saw that, a Muslim man threw a cloak on him. When the assassin thought that he had taken hold of him, he slit his own throat." He said, "And Umar held the hand of Abdullah ibn Awf and brought him forward." He said, "Who will take care of Umar? He has seen what he has seen." He said, "Regarding the surroundings of the mosque, they did not know anything except that they had lost the voice of Umar while they were saying, 'Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah.' Abdul-Rahman ibn Awf led them in a light prayer. When they finished, Umar said, 'O Ibn Abbas, see who killed me.' He went for a while and then came back and said, 'The slave of Al-Mughirah killed him.' He said, 'Really?' After they all spoke with their tongues and prayed towards their qibla and performed the Hajj according to their rites, he was brought to his house. We then left with him." He said, "And it was as if the people had not been affected by any calamity before that day. Some were saying, 'There is no harm,' while others were saying, 'We fear for him.' So they brought some wine and he drank it, and it came out of his wound. Then they brought some milk and he drank it, and it came out of his wound. They recognized that he was dead, and he mentioned this incident in his will and in the command to consult each other."

[AI] The following passage has been translated into English:

"He deserves this position more than those people or the group who were present when the Messenger of Allah passed away, and he was pleased with them. He named Ali, Uthman, Zubair, Talha, Saad, and Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf. He said, 'I bear witness to you, Abdullah Ibn Umar, even though he has no authority in this matter, like the consolation for him.' He also said, 'If the leadership falls into the hands of Saad, then that is good. Otherwise, let him seek the help of whichever one of you he is commanded to.' He said, 'I am not dismissing him due to any disability or betrayal.' He also said, 'I advise the caliph after me regarding the early migrants to acknowledge their rights and protect their sanctity. And I advise him concerning the Ansar, who took on the burden of the home and faith before them, to accept their kindness and pardon their mistakes. And I advise him regarding the people of the provinces, as they are the support of Islam, collectors of wealth, and the anger of the enemies. And let nothing be taken from them except their surplus beyond what pleases them. And I advise him regarding the Bedouins, as they are the roots of the Arabs and the backbone of Islam. Let their surplus be taken from the outskirts of their wealth and distributed to their poor. And I advise him regarding the covenant of Allah and the covenant of His Messenger, to fulfill their promise to them. And I advise him to fight from behind them and to not burden them beyond their capability.' When he passed away, we carried out his will and started walking. He mentioned the incident while burying him. He said, 'When we finished burying him and returned, this group of people assembled.' Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf said, 'Let's leave this matter to three of you.' Az-Zubair said, 'I have entrusted my matter to Ali.' Talha said, 'I have entrusted my matter to Uthman.' Saad said, 'I have entrusted my matter to Abdul Rahman.' Abdul Rahman said, 'Which one of you will absolve himself of this matter so that we can entrust it to him?' By Allah, he will judge with his own understanding and work diligently for the good of the nation. He said, 'The two sheikhs kept quiet.' Abdul Rahman said, 'Are you entrusting it to me? By Allah, I will not fail in fulfilling your best interests.' They said, 'Yes.' Abdul Rahman took the hand of one of them and said, 'You are from the close relatives of the Messenger of Allah and have a distinguished position in Islam. I have full confidence that if I appointed you, you would make justice your priority. And if I appointed Uthman, you would listen and obey him.' Then, he went to the other and said the same. When he made an agreement, he said to Uthman, 'Raise your hand, O Uthman,' and he pledged allegiance to him. Ali also pledged allegiance to him, and the people of the house pledged allegiance to him."

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

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي قَوْمٌ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَيْسَتْ قِرَاءَتُكُمْ إِلَى قِرَاءَتِهِمْ بِشَيْءٍ وَلَا صَلَاتُكُمْ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ بِشَيْءٍ وَلَا صِيَامُكُمْ إِلَى صِيَامِهِمْ بِشَيْءٍ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا تُجَاوِزُ صَلَاتُهُمْ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الْجَيْشُ الَّذِينَ يُصِيبُونَهُمْ مَا قَضَى اللهُ لَهُمْ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِمْ ﷺ لَاتَّكَلُوا عَنِ الْعَمَلِ وَآيَةُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ فِيهِمْ رَجُلًا لَهُ عَضُدٌ وَلَيْسَتْ لَهُ ذِرَاعٌ عَلَى عَضُدِهِ مِثْلُ حَلَمَةِ ثَدْيِ الْمَرْأَةِ عَلَيْهِ شَعَرَاتٌ بِيضٌ فَتَذْهَبُونَ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ وَأَهْلِ الشَّامِ وَتَتْرُكُونَ هَؤُلَاءِ يَخْلُفُونَكُمْ فِي ذَرَارِيِّكُمْ وَأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونُوا هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمَ فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ سَفَكُوا الدَّمَ وَأَغَارُوا فِي سَرْحِ النَّاسِ فَسِيرُوا عَلَى اسْمِ اللهِ قَالَ سَلَمَةُ فَنَزَّلَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ مَنْزِلًا مَنْزِلًا حَتَّى قَالَ مَرَرْنَا عَلَى قَنْطَرَةٍ قَالَ فَلَمَّا الْتَقَيْنَا وَعَلَى الْخَوَارِجِ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ الرَّاسِبِيُّ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَلْقُوا الرِّمَاحِ وَسُلُّوا سُيُوفَكُمْ مِنْ جُفُونِهَا فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يُنَاشِدُوكُمْ كَمَا نَاشَدُوكُمْ يَوْمَ حَرُورَا فَرَجَعْتُمْ قَالَ فَوَحَّشُوا بِرِمَاحِهِمْ وَسَلُّوا السُّيُوفَ وَشَجَرَهُمُ النَّاسُ بِرِمَاحِهِمْ قَالَ فَقُتِلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَمَا أُصِيبَ مِنَ النَّاسِ يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلَّا رَجُلَانِ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ الْتَمِسُوا فِيهُمُ الْمُخْدَجَ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ فَقَامَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ بِنَفْسِهِ فَالْتَمَسَهُ فَوَجَدَهُ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ اللهُ وَبَلَّغَ رَسُولُهُ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ عُبَيْدَةُ السَّلْمَانِيُّ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ آللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَسَمِعْتَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ إِيْ وَاللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ حَتَّى اسْتَحْلَفَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَهُوَ يَحْلِفُ لَهُ

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

[AI] Abu Al-As ibn Ar-Rabi' was a trader who used to go to Sham (Syria). He was a trustworthy man and he had merchandise for the Quraysh with him. A caravan came his way and it was intercepted secretly by a group of the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ Companions. They took away his goods and brought them to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who distributed them among themselves. Abu Al-As went on until he reached Zainab (his wife), seeking her protection and asked her to intercede with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to return his money to him and what he had of other people's goods. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called those who intercepted the caravan and they answered him. Then he went out until he reached Makkah and he distributed among the people what he had of their goods. When he finished he said: "O assembly of Quraysh! Is there anyone among you to whom I owe anything which I have not returned?" They answered: "No, may Allah reward you with the best. You have been found trustworthy and generous." Abu Al-As said: "By Allah! I was not prevented from accepting Islam before I joined you except that I feared that you would think that I embraced Islam in order to take away your possessions. But I asseverate that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His slave and His Apostle." Ash-Shafi'i said in Al-Musnad: "If they secretly took hold of a person and did not feel secure about him nor recover anything from him, they are allowed to take from him the amount equal to the goods they had. They can cause corruption to his wealth and run away from him." The Shaykh said: "We have already reported the Hadith of Imran ibn Husain regarding the Muslim woman who took the she-camel and fled on it."

أَبُو الْعَاصِ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ تَاجِرًا إِلَى الشَّامِ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا مَأْمُونًا وَكَانَتْ مَعَهُ بَضَائِعُ لِقُرَيْشٍ فَأَقْبَلَ قَافِلًا فَلَقِيَهُ سَرِيَّةٌ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَاسْتَاقُوا عِيرَهُ وَأَفْلَتَ وَقَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَا أَصَابُوا فَقَسَمَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ وَأَتَى أَبُو الْعَاصِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ ؓ فَاسْتَجَارَ بِهَا وَسَأَلَهَا أَنْ تَطْلُبَ لَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَدَّ مَالِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ النَّاسِ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ السَّرِيَّةَ فَسَأَلَهُمْ فَرَدُّوا عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ فَأَدَّى عَلَى النَّاسِ مَا كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنْ بَضَائِعِهِمْ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ قَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ هَلْ بَقِيَ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ مَعِي مَالٌ لَمْ أَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ؟ قَالُوا لَا فَجَزَاكَ اللهُ خَيْرًا قَدْ وَجَدْنَاكَ وَفِيًّا كَرِيمًا فَقَالَ أَمَا وَاللهِ مَا مَنَعَنِي أَنْ أُسْلِمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَقْدَمَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا تَخَوُّفًا أَنْ تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي إِنَّمَا أَسْلَمْتُ لِأَذْهَبَ بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ فِي الْمُسْلِمِ إِذَا أُسِرَ وَلَمْ يُؤَمِّنُوهُ وَلَمْ يَأْخُذُوا عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُمْ آمِنُونَ مِنْهُ فَلَهُ أَخْذُ مَا قَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَإِفْسَادُهُ وَالْهَرَبُ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ قَدْ رَوَيْنَا حَدِيثَ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ؓ فِي الْمَرْأَةِ الْمُسْلِمَةِ الَّتِي أَخَذَتِ النَّاقَةَ وَهَرَبَتْ عَلَيْهَا

[AI] Abdullah ibn Hawala said: We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we complained to him about poverty and scarcity. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Be glad, for by Allah, it is not the abundance of wealth that I fear for you, but rather the scarcity of it. And by Allah, this matter (Islam) will continue to spread among you until Allah opens the lands of Persia, Rome, and Yemen for you, and you will be armies, three armies in Syria, one army in Iraq, and one army in Yemen. And until a man will be given a hundred Dirhams and will be displeased with it." Ibn Hawala said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, who can conquer Syria and Rome, the domains of empires?" He said, "By Allah, it will be opened for you by Allah, and He will make you its successors, until even the white thread of these people is taken by the black thread of yours in matters that they command, and you fulfill it. And indeed, in it there are men who, in their sight, you are more worthless than monkeys in the sight of camels." Ibn Hawala said: So I said, "O Messenger of Allah, choose for me if I live to see that." He said, "I choose for you Syria, for it is the elite of Allah's land. To it, the elite of His servants will be selected. O people of Yemen, rely on Syria, for surely Allah has taken charge of Syria and its people." Abu 'Alqama said: I heard 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Jubayr say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned this hadith about Hurayb ibn Suhayl al-Sulami, who was among the non-Arab people at that time. So when they used to go to the mosque, they would look at him and stand around him. They marveled at the description of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about him and about them. Abu 'Alqama said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took an oath three times in this hadith, and we do not know of any other hadith in which he took an oath like this. And in this book, there is a narration from Ibn Zughb al-Iyadi from 'Abdullah ibn Hawala from the Prophet ﷺ that Syria will be opened for you, and then you will divide the treasures of Persia and Rome.

[AI] Ibn Shihab said, "This is a hadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he went to the Banu Nadir seeking their assistance against the Banu Qurayza. The Banu Nadir had claimed that they had conveyed secretly to the Quraysh when they camped at the Battle of Uhud to fight the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They incited the Quraysh to fight and directed them towards the rear. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed them regarding the issue with the Banu Qurayza, they said, 'Sit, Abu al-Qasim, until you are fed and your need is fulfilled, and then we will consult and rectify our situation regarding the matter for which you have come to us.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat down, and those who followed him sat as well, leaning against a wall, waiting for their matter to be rectified. When they all sat, and Shaytan was with them and did not leave them, they conspired to kill the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They said, 'You will not find a better opportunity than now to kill him, so be at ease, be safe in your homes, and calamity will be lifted from you.' A man said, 'If you wish, I can go up to the roof and throw a stone at him and kill him.' Allah inspired him and informed him of their plot. So Allah protected him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up as if he wanted to fulfill a need and left his companions sitting, and he waited for the enemies of Allah. Then a man from the people of Madinah came and they asked him about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, 'I met him, and he entered the alleys of Madinah.' They said to his companions, 'Quickly, Abu al-Qasim needs us to go and support him in his need.' So the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up and returned. The Quran descended, and Allah knows best what the enemies of Allah did. He said, 'O you who have believed, remember the favor of Allah upon you when a people determined to extend their hands [in aggression] against you, but He withheld their hands from you. And fear Allah. And upon Allah let the believers rely.'" And this is the end of the narration.

قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ هَذَا حَدِيثُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ خَرَجَ إِلَى بَنِي النَّضِيرِ يَسْتَعِينُهُمْ فِي عَقْلِ الْكِلَابِيِّينَ وَكَانُوا زَعَمُوا قَدْ دَسُّوا إِلَى قُرَيْشٍ حِينَ نَزَلُوا بِأُحُدٍ فِي قِتَالِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَضُّوهُمْ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ وَدَلُّوهُمْ عَلَى الْعَوْرَةِ فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي عَقْلِ الْكِلَابِيِّينَ قَالُوا اجْلِسْ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ حَتَّى تَطْعَمَ وَتَرْجِعَ بِحَاجَتِكَ وَنَقُومَ فَنَتَشَاوَرَ وَنُصْلِحَ أَمْرَنَا فِيمَا جِئْتَنَا لَهُ فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَنْ تَبِعَهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِي ظِلِّ جِدَارٍ يَنْتَظِرُ أَنْ يُصْلِحُوا أَمْرَهُمْ فَلَمَّا جَلَسُوا وَالشَّيْطَانُ مَعَهُمْ لَا يُفَارِقُهُمُ ائْتَمَرُوا بِقَتْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا لَنْ تَجِدُوهُ أَقْرَبَ مِنْهُ الْآنَ فَاسْتَرِيحُوا مِنْهُ تَأْمَنُوا فِي دِيَارِكُمْ وَيُرْفَعْ عَنْكُمُ الْبَلَاءُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ ظَهَرْتُ فَوْقَ الْبَيْتِ وَدَلَّيْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَجَرًا فَقَتَلْتُهُ فَأَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا ائْتَمَرُوا مِنْ شَأْنِهِ فَعَصَمَهُ اللهُ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَأَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ يَقْضِيَ حَاجَةً وَتَرَكَ أَصْحَابَهُ فِي مَجْلِسِهِمْ وَانْتَظَرَ أَعْدَاءُ اللهِ فَرَاثَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لَقِيتُهُ قَدْ دَخَلَ أَزِقَّةَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالُوا لِأَصْحَابِهِ عَجِلَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ أَنْ يُقِيمَ أَمْرَنَا فِي حَاجَتِهِ الَّتِي جَاءَ بِهَا ثُمَّ قَامَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَرَجَعُوا وَنَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِالَّذِي جَاءَ أَعْدَاءُ اللهِ فَقَالَ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ هَمَّ قَوْمٌ أَنْ يَبْسُطُوا إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فَكَفَّ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللهَ وَعَلَى اللهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ} فَلَمَّا أَظْهَرَ اللهُ رَسُولَهُ عَلَى مَا أَرَادُوا بِهِ وَعَلَى خِيَانَتِهِمْ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ أَمَرَ بِإِجْلَائِهِمْ وَإِخْرَاجِهِمْ مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَسِيرُوا حَيْثُ شَاءُوا إِلَى آخِرِ الْحَدِيثِ

[AI] I was sent by Ibn Ayyash bin Abi Rabia to Umar bin Abdul Aziz for his needs. I entered upon him and there was a scribe with him who was writing. I greeted him and he replied with greetings. Then, I said, "Peace be upon you, O Commander of the Faithful, and the mercy of Allah." He said, "O son of Ziyad, we do not deny the first thing you said." The scribe was reading to him the grievances that came from Basra. Then, he told me to sit, so I sat on a step near the door while he listened to the scribe reading. Umar was sighing heavily. When he finished, he dismissed everyone in the room until only I and him were present. He sat in front of me and placed his hands on my knees. Then, he said, "O son of Abi Ziyad, have you worn this armor?" I said, "Yes, I have a padded armor made of wool and I have rested from what we were in." Then, he asked me about the righteous men and women of Madinah, and he asked me about the matters he had commanded them in Madinah, and I informed him. Then, he said, "O son of Abi Ziyad, don't you see what has happened to me?" I said, "Rejoice, O Commander of the Faithful, for I hope good for you." He said, "Never, never." Then, he cried until I also mourned for him. I said, "O Commander of the Faithful, some of your actions are praiseworthy, for I hope good for you." He said, "Never, never. I neither insult nor am I insulted, I neither strike nor am I struck, I neither harm nor am I harmed." He said, and then he cried until I also mourned for him. So, I stayed until he fulfilled my needs, and he wrote to my master asking him to sell me, but he refused and then freed me.
