Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent some men from the Ansar to ((kill) Abu Rafiʿ, the Jew, and appointed ʿAbdullah bin Atik as their leader. Abu Rafiʿ used to hurt Messenger of Allah ﷺ and help his enemies against him. He lived in his castle in the land of Hijaz. When those men approached (the castle) after the sun had set and the people had brought back their livestock to their homes. ʿAbdullah (bin Atik) said to his companions, "Sit down at your places. I am going, and I will try to play a trick on the gate-keeper so that I may enter (the castle)." So ʿAbdullah proceeded towards the castle, and when he approached the gate, he covered himself with his clothes, pretending to answer the call of nature. The people had gone in, and the gate-keeper (considered ʿAbdullah as one of the castle's servants) addressing him saying, "O Allah's Servant! Enter if you wish, for I want to close the gate." ʿAbdullah added in his story, "So I went in (the castle) and hid myself. When the people got inside, the gate-keeper closed the gate and hung the keys on a fixed wooden peg. I got up and took the keys and opened the gate. Some people were staying late at night with Abu Rafiʿ for a pleasant night chat in a room of his. When his companions of nightly entertainment went away, I ascended to him, and whenever I opened a door, I closed it from inside. I said to myself, 'Should these people discover my presence, they will not be able to catch me till I have killed him.' So I reached him and found him sleeping in a dark house amidst his family, I could not recognize his location in the house. So I shouted, 'O Abu Rafiʿ!' Abu Rafiʿ said, 'Who is it?' I proceeded towards the source of the voice and hit him with the sword, and because of my perplexity, I could not kill him. He cried loudly, and I came out of the house and waited for a while, and then went to him again and said, 'What is this voice, O Abu Rafiʿ?' He said, 'Woe to your mother! A man in my house has hit me with a sword! I again hit him severely but I did not kill him. Then I drove the point of the sword into his belly (and pressed it through) till it touched his back, and I realized that I have killed him. I then opened the doors one by one till I reached the staircase, and thinking that I had reached the ground, I stepped out and fell down and got my leg broken in a moonlit night. I tied my leg with a turban and proceeded on till I sat at the gate, and said, 'I will not go out tonight till I know that I have killed him.' So, when (early in the morning) the cock crowed, the announcer of the casualty stood on the wall saying, 'I announce the death of Abu Rafiʿ, the merchant of Hijaz. Thereupon I went to my companions and said, 'Let us save ourselves, for Allah has killed Abu Rafiʿ,' So I (along with my companions proceeded and) went to the Prophet ﷺ and described the whole story to him. "He said, 'Stretch out your (broken) leg. I stretched it out and he rubbed it and it became All right as if I had never had any ailment whatsoever."

"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] would sit among his Companions and if a stranger came, he would not know which of them was he (the Prophet [SAW]) until he asked. So we suggested to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] that we should make a dais for him so that any stranger would know him if he came to him. So we built for him a bench made of clay on which he used to sit. (One day) we were sitting and the Messenger of Allah [SAW] was sitting in his spot, when a man came along who was the most handsome and good-smelling of all people, and it was as if no dirt had ever touched his garments. He came near the edge of the rug and greeted him, saying: 'Peace be upon you, O Muhammad!' He returned the greeting, and he said: 'Shall I come closer, O Muhammad?' He came a little closer, and he kept telling him to come closer, until he put his hands on the knees of the Messenger of Allah [SAW]. He said: 'O Muhammad, tell me, what is Islam?' He said: 'Islam means to worship Allah and not associate anything with Him; to establish Salah, to pay Zakah, to perform Hajj to the House, and to fast Ramadan.' He said: 'If I do that, will I have submitted (be a Muslim)?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'You have spoken the truth,' we found it odd. He said: 'O Muhammad, tell me, what is faith?' He said: 'To believe in Allah [SWT], His Angels, the Book, the Prophets, and to believe in the Divine Decree.' He said: 'If I do that, will I have believed?' The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'Yes.' He said: 'You have spoken the truth.' He said: 'O Muhammad, tell me, what is Al-Ihsan?' He said: 'To worship Allah [SWT] as if you can see Him, for although you cannot see Him, He can see you.' He said: 'You have spoken the truth.' He said: 'O Muhammad, tell me about the Hour.' He lowered his head and did not answer. Then he repeated the question, and he did not answer. Then he repeated the question (a third time) and he did not answer. Then he raised his head and said: 'The one who is being asked does not know more than the one who is asking. But it has signs, by which it may be known. When you see the herdsmen competing in building tall buildings, when you see the barefoot and naked ruling the Earth, when you see a woman giving birth to her mistress. Five things which no one knows except Allah [SWT]. Verily, Allah, with Him (alone) is the knowledge of the Hour up to His saying: 'Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware (of things).' Then he said: 'No, by the One who sent Muhammad with the truth, with guidance and glad tidings, I did not know him more than any man among you. That was Jibril, peace be upon you, who came down in the form of Dihyah Al-Kalbi.'"

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.

[Machine] Abdul Razzaq was mentioned in my book, Sumayyah bint Huyay, that the Prophet ﷺ performed Hajj with his wives. While they were on the way, a man came and took hold of the reins of the camels, causing them to move faster. The Prophet ﷺ said, "This is how you control your market with bottles," meaning, women. While they were walking, Safiyyah bint Huyay's camel stumbled and she fell down. She began to cry, and when the Prophet ﷺ was informed of this, he wiped her tears with his hand. Her crying increased, and while he tried to stop her, her weeping grew louder. He instructed the people to stop and they did. It was my day, so when they stopped, the Prophet ﷺ struck me on my chest and entered a tent. I wondered why the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was so angry with me. I feared that there was something wrong with him, so I went to Aisha and said, "You know very well that I have never sold my day to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for anything. Indeed, I had donated my day to you in order to please the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." She replied, "Yes, I know." I said, "Sheikh's favor is from Allah, and He grants favor to whom He wills." He said, "Go and join your family." When she objected, the Prophet ﷺ did not speak to her until he reached Makkah and stayed there for a few days. Then, during the journey back to Madinah, he passed by al-Muharram. He did not come to her or divide anything with her. She lost hope in him. In the month of Rabi' al-Awwal, he came to her and she saw his shadow. She said, "This is the shadow of a person, and the Prophet ﷺ does not enter upon me. Who is this?" The Prophet ﷺ entered and she said, "O Messenger of Allah, I do not know what to do when you enter upon me." She had a servant whom she used to hide from the Prophet ﷺ . She said, "It is yours, Fulanah." The Prophet ﷺ went to the bed of Zainab, which had been raised, and put it in his hand. Then, he went to his wife and was pleased with them.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Makkah for ten years, following the people in their homes in 'Ukaz and Majinah, and during the seasons in Mina. He would say, "Who will shelter and support me? Who will assist me until I deliver the message of my Lord, and he will be rewarded with Paradise?" So much so that a man would come from Yemen or Egypt, and his people would warn him, saying, "Beware of the young boy from Quraysh who will deceive you." But he would walk among them and they would point at him with their fingers. Until Allah sent someone from Yathrib (Medina) and we offered him shelter and believed in him. The man would return to his people, and they would embrace Islam because of him, to the point that there was not a house in Al-Ansar (the supporters) except there were some Muslims living in it. Then, they all came together and said, "Until when shall we leave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being expelled in the mountains of Makkah and living in fear?" Seventy men of us left until we reached him in the season. We made an appointment with the tribes of Al-'Aqabah, and met him there, a group of men and a group of women. We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Why don't we give you our pledge?" He replied, "Give me your pledge based on hearing and obeying, in ease and hardship, in wealth and poverty, and to enjoin good and forbid evil. And that you will say in Allah's cause, fear no blame from anyone, and to help me rather than hinder me when I come to you. If you fulfill this, then it will be better for you before Allah." We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Rain on us your guidance." We swear by Allah, we will never abandon this pledge nor take it away. So we gave him our pledge, and he grasped the hand of As'ad bin Zurarah, who was one of the youngest among us, and said, "O people of Yathrib! We have not aimed against and attacked the backs of camels unless we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . And indeed his leaving today means the tribal fragmentation of the entire Arabs and the killing of your best people. And the swords will bite you, whether you are a people who can endure that or a people who fear from yourselves a decline, clarify it, and it will be more excuse for you before Allah." We said, "Remove from us, O As'ad!" By Allah! We will never abandon this pledge nor seize it away. So we gave him our pledge, and he made a condition and gave us Paradise in return.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Ghālib ibn ‘Abdullah al-Kalbi with Kalb, the Lion, to the tribe of Banī Mulawwah in al-Kudayd. He commanded him to change their position, so we went with him until we reached Qudayd. There, we met al-Harith ibn Mālik, who was from the tribe of Lays, so we captured him. He said, "I have only come to embrace Islam." Ghālib ibn ‘Abdullah said, "If you have come as a Muslim, then no harm will come to you for one day and one night. However, if you have come for something else, we will take precautions with you." He said, "I give you my word and security." So Ghālib ibn ‘Abdullah gave him a bond of safety, and then he left someone dark-skinned with him, who was with us. He said to him, "Stay with him until we pass by you. If he confronts you, grab his head." He said, "Then we continued until we reached the belly of al-Kudayd. We camped there after ‘Asr prayer. My companions sent me to a hilltop to observe the enemy. I lay on top of it until it was Maghrib time. A man among them came out and looked. He saw me lying on the hilltop and said to his wife, 'By Allah, I see someone lying on this hilltop. I did not see him in the morning. Be careful, lest the dogs have eaten some of our provisions.' She looked and said, 'No, by Allah, I have not lost anything.' He said, 'Then give me my bow and two arrows from my quiver.' She gave them to him, and he shot me with an arrow, which I placed by my side. I took it and did not move. Then he shot me with another arrow, which I placed on top of my right shoulder. I took it and did not move. He said to his wife, 'By Allah, these arrows have touched me. If they were enchanted, they would have moved. When it is morning, seek for my arrows and take them. However, do not bite them, for the dogs might be affected by them.' We waited there until their scent had dissipated, and they settled down or went to sleep. In the darkness of the night, we launched a surprise attack on them and killed those we killed from among them, and we took their flocks. We headed off swiftly until we passed by al-Harith ibn al-Barssā’, his friend. We took him with us. The people shouted aloud to their people in a state of shock, and we advanced swiftly. When there was nothing left between us and them except the belly of the valley, a flood came down between us and them, which Allah sent wherever He pleased. We had never seen anything like it before, neither rain nor hail. It came with something that no one can withstand. We saw them standing, looking at us, but none of them could advance, while we crossed it swiftly until it settled. Then we attacked them from a hidden position until we defeated them with what we had in our hands.

[Machine] He married a woman and came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seeking his assistance in paying her dowry. He asked, "How much did you give as dowry?" He replied, "I gave two hundred dirhams." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you were to collect dirhams from your valley, you would not increase what I have nor would I give you anymore." He said, "So I stayed for a while, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called me and sent me on an expedition to Najd. He said, 'Go on this expedition, perhaps you will achieve something.' So I set off with the army until we reached a place called Mumsin. When the evening came, our leader sent two men and said, 'When I make takbeer and start carrying, make takbeer and start carrying as well.' And he said, 'When we send two men, do not separate and I will ask one of you about the news of his companion, but I do not find him with him, and do not focus too much on searching.' So when we wanted to carry, I heard a man from Mumsin shout, 'O Khadrah!' So I became hopeful that we were going to get something from them. When we stood for takbeer, our leader carried and we carried as well. Then a man passed by me holding a sword, so I followed him. My companion said to me, 'Our leader has entrusted us not to focus too much on searching, so go back.' But I did not see anything but to follow him. He said, 'By Allah, you will go back or I will go back to him and tell him that you refused.' So I said, 'By Allah, I will follow him.' So I followed him until I came close to him and shot an arrow at him and it struck him on the chest and he fell. He said, 'Come, O Muslim, to Paradise!' When he saw that I did not approach him, I shot another arrow at him and it hit him, so he drew his sword and attacked me, but I took the sword from him and killed him. I cut off his head and we collected many spoils. Then we returned. When I woke up, I saw my camel tied to it another camel, on which there was a beautiful young woman. She would look back and say takbeer, so I asked her, 'Where are you looking?' She said, 'To a man, and by Allah, if he is alive, he will join you.' I said, 'And I thought it was my companion whom I killed. By Allah, I killed him, and this is his sword, hanging from the saddle of the camel I am on.' He said, 'And the scabbard of the sword has nothing hanging from the saddle of her camel.' So when I told her this, she said, 'Place this scabbard beneath it and smell it, if you are telling the truth.' He said, 'So I took it and smelled it, and then she cried.' He said, 'So we went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he gave me from those blessings that we had brought.'

[Machine] Zainab bint Rasul Allah (pbuh) said, as I was preparing in Mecca to go to my father, Hind bint Utbah ibn Rabiah followed me. She said, "O daughter of Muhammad, did it not reach me that you intend to leave with your father?" I said, "I did not intend that." She said, "O cousin's daughter, do not do that. If you have any needs for supplies for your journey and want me to deliver them to your father, I will do it because I have a need from you." Zainab said, "By Allah, I did not see it except for her to do so." She said, "But I was afraid of her, so I denied that I intended it and I prepared myself. When I finished my preparations, my brother-in-law Kananah ibn al-Rabi'a came and he brought a camel for me. I rode on it, and he took his bow and his spear and led me out in broad daylight while I was in my litter. The men of Quraysh spoke about it and went out in search of her until they caught up with her at Dhu Tuwa. The first one to reach her was Hubbab ibn al-Aswad ibn al-Muttalib ibn Asad ibn Abdul-Uzza, and Nafi' ibn Abd Qais al-Fihri, a relative of the Banu Abi 'Ubayd, from Iffriqiyyah. Hubbab intimidated them with his spear while she was in her litter, and the woman was pregnant as they claimed. When she was on the verge of giving birth, I exposed her belly, so her father-in-law blessed it and his spear fell. He said, "No man comes near me except that I will strike him with an arrow." The people hesitated about him, and Abu Sufyan of the Quraysh came to him in a delegation, saying, "O man, cease your actions against us until we converse with you." Then Abu Sufyan approached him until he stood in front of him and said, "Indeed, you did not achieve what you wanted. You left with the woman in public, and our misfortune and calamity are known. Muhammad (pbuh) has not come to us thinking that we have humiliated ourselves for our misfortune. It is weakness and despair for us. By my life, we are not withholding her from her father out of necessity, but return with the woman until the voices settle and people say that we have returned her, then secretly guide her back to her father." He did as he was told, and he returned and stayed for several nights until the voices settled. Then he took her out at night and handed her over to Zaid ibn Harithah and his companion. They brought her to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh).

[Machine] From Abu Rafi, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: I was a young boy under the guardianship of Al-Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib, and I had embraced Islam, and so had the mother of Al-Fadl and Al-Abbas. Al-Abbas had concealed his Islam out of fear from his people, and Abu Lahab had withdrawn from the battle of Badr and sent Al-'As bin Hisham in his place. Al-'As had a debt to Al-Abbas, so he said to him, "Settle my debt for me and I will fight in this battle on your behalf." So Al-Abbas agreed and settled his debt. When the news of the battle reached us, Allah disgraced Abu Lahab. I was a weak man who used to carve arrowheads in a room, and by Allah, I was sitting in that room carving arrowheads while Umm Al-Fadl was with me. Suddenly, I saw Abu Lahab dragging his feet near the door of the room, and his back was towards me. The people said, "This is Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith." Abu Lahab said to him, "Come here, O son of my brother." So Abu Sufyan went and sat with him. When the people saw them, they gathered around them. Abu Lahab asked Abu Sufyan, "How did things go with the people?" Abu Sufyan replied, "Nothing, By Allah, if we had met them and they attacked us, they would have killed us as they pleased and captured us as they pleased. By Allah, I have not seen people with white garments on fast horses like them. By Allah, no one could stand against them." Then, I lifted up the door of the room and said, "By Allah, those were angels." Abu Lahab raised his hand and struck me on the face, causing my nose to bleed. He then threw me to the ground, hitting me until I fell down. Umm Al-Fadl stood up and seized him, taking hold of a pillar in the room and struck him with it, causing him to bleed from the head, and she said, "O enemy of Allah, you have weakened him. If you have seen his master absent, he would have stood up humiliated. By Allah, he did not live for more than seven nights until Allah struck him with a swelling, and he died. He left his two sons for two or three nights without burying him until you (Quraysh) did." Then a man from Quraysh said to his two sons, "Are you not ashamed that your father's body is in his house?" They replied, "We fear this wound." Quraysh used to fear this swelling just as they feared the plague. The man said, "I will go with you." They said, "By Allah, they did not wash him except by pouring water on him from a distance. Then they carried him to the highest point in Makkah and threw him over the wall, and then they stoned him." Adh-Dhahabi remained silent about this in his summary.

[Machine] We, the family of Al-Abbas, embraced Islam and kept our Islam hidden. I was a servant to Al-Abbas, carving cups and utensils. When the Quraysh marched towards the Messenger of Allah on the day of Badr, we anticipated news. The messenger of Allah came and gave us the guarantee of safety through the Khazai'i. We found strength within ourselves and were delighted by the news of the appearance of the Messenger of Allah. By Allah, I was sitting near Zamzam carving cups, and with me was Umm al-Fadl, and we were pleased with the news that came to us about the appearance of the Messenger of Allah. We were informed about the messenger of Allah when the wicked Abu Lahab approached, dragging his legs. Allah humiliated and disgraced him for what he received of the news. He sat on the doorstep and the people gathered around him. Abu Lahab said to him, "Come to me, O son of my brother," and he sat between his hands. He asked him about people and he replied, "Yes, by Allah, if we meet people and give them our support, they put their weapons wherever they wished. But the people we met were men riding on fast horses. By Allah, nothing remained." I raised the doorstep and said, "Those are the angels, by Allah." Abu Lahab raised his hand and struck my face, delivering a blow that blemished me. Umm al-Fadl approached a tent pole from the columns of the tent, grabbed it, said, "You humiliated him, even if his master is absent," and struck him on the head, causing him pain and leaving a mark. He then dragged his legs and was afflicted by an ophthalmia that Allah cast upon him. By Allah, he did not live for more than seven days until he died. His sons left him in his house for three days until he began to decompose. Quraysh feared that ophthalmia and avoided touching his body. A man from Quraysh said to them, "Shame on you, don't you feel ashamed? Your father has decomposed in his house, and you don't bury him." They replied, "We fear the contagion of this wound." The man said, "Go, I will help you." By Allah, they did not wash him except by throwing water from a distance, never approaching him. Then they carried him to the top of Makkah and leaned him against a wall, then stoned him.

[Machine] He informed him that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left Mecca as a migrant to Medina, the Quraysh tribe made a reward of one hundred camels for whoever returned him. He said, "While I was sitting in my tribe's assembly, a man from us came and said, 'By Allah, I saw three individuals pass by hurriedly, and I think one of them is Muhammad.' I gestured to him to be silent and said, 'They are from the Banu Fulan, following some stray camels.' He said, 'Perhaps.' Then he fell silent. I stayed for a while and then got up and ordered my horse to be tied to the bottom of the valley. I removed my weapon from behind my room and put on my armor. Then I took my spear, which I use for oaths, and wore it. I called my people and said, 'The one I dislike has come out, but it will not harm him.' I hoped to capture him and take the one hundred camels. I rode on their trail, but as my horse picked up its pace, it stumbled and I fell off. I took out my spear and made an oath. The arrow that I dislike came out, so I was determined to follow him. I mounted my horse and when the people appeared before me, my horse stumbled again and his hands fell to the ground. I fell and he picked up his hands, which emitted smoke, like ashes. I realized that he had been prevented from me and that he was apparent. I called to them and said, 'Look at me, and by Allah, I do not suspect you or dislike anything in you.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Tell me, what do you seek?' I said, 'Write for me a document between me and you, as a sign.' He said, 'Write, O Abu Bakr.' So he wrote it for me and handed it to me. I returned and remained silent, not mentioning anything that happened until Allah granted victory to His Messenger in Mecca and after the conquest of Hunayn. I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with the document he wrote for me. While I was going towards him, I passed by a group of Ansar soldiers. They shook their spears and said, 'To you, to you!' When I approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on his camel, I looked at his legs tied to the saddle, and it seemed as if they were burning. I pushed my hand forward with the document and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, this is your document.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'On a day of fulfillment and good deeds, approach.'" So I converted.

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ مُهَاجِرًا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ جَعَلَتْ قُرَيْشٌ لِمَنْ رَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِائَةَ نَاقَةٍ قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ فِي نَادِي قَوْمِي جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا فَقَالَ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَكَبَةً ثَلَاثَةً مَرُّوا عَلَيَّ آنِفًا إِنِّي لَأَظُنُّهُ مُحَمَّدًا قَالَ فَأَوْمَأَتُ إِلَيْهِ أَنِ اسْكُتْ وَقُلْتُ إِنَّمَا هُمْ بَنُو فُلَانٍ يَتَّبِعُونَ ضَالَّةً لَهُمْ قَالَ لَعَلَّهُ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ فَمَكَثْتُ قَلِيلًا وَقُمْتُ فَأَمَرْتُ بِفَرَسِي فَقِيدَ إِلَى بَطْنِ الْوَادِي فَأَخْرَجَتُ سِلَاحِي مِنْ وَرَاءِ حُجْرَتِي ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ قِدَاحِي الَّتِي أَسْتَقْسِمُ بِهَا ثُمَّ لَبِسْتُ لَأْمَتِي ثُمَّ أَخْرَجْتُ قِدَاحِي فَاسْتَقْسَمْتُ بِهَا وَقَالَ فَخَرَجَ الَّذِي أَكْرَهُ لَا يَضُرُّهُ وَكُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ أَرُدَّهُ فَآخُذَ الْمِائَةَ النَّاقَةَ فَرَكِبْتُ عَلَى أَثَرِهِمْ فَبَيْنَمَا فَرَسِي يَشْتَدُّ بِي عَثَرَ فَسَقَطْتُ عَنْهُ فَأَخْرَجَتُ قِدَاحِي فَاسْتَقْسَمْتُ فَخَرَجَ السَّهْمُ الَّذِي أَكْرَهُ لَا يَضُرُّهُ فَأَبَيْتُ إِلَّا أَنْ أَتَّبِعَهُ فَرَكِبْتُهُ فَلَمَّا بَدَا لِيَ الْقَوْمُ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ عَثَرَ بِي فَرَسِي وَذَهَبَتْ يَدَاهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَسَقَطْتُ فَاسْتَخْرَجَ يَدَهُ وَأَتْبَعَهَا دُخَانٌ مِثْلُ الْعُثَانِ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مُنِعَ مِنِّي وَأَنَّهُ ظَاهِرٌ فَنَادَيْتُهُمْ فَقُلْتُ أَنْظِرُونِي فَوَاللهِ إِنِّي لَا أَرِيبُكُمْ وَلَا يَبْدَؤُكُمْ مِنِّي شَيْءٌ تَكْرَهُونَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُلْ لَهُ مَاذَا يَبْتَغِي؟ فَقُلْتُ اكْتُبْ لِي كِتَابًا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ آيَةً قَالَ «اكْتُبْ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ» قَالَ فَكَتَبَ لِي ثُمَّ أَلْقَاهَا إِلَيَّ فَرَجَعْتُ فَسَكَتُّ فَلَمْ أَذْكُرْ شَيْئًا مِمَّا كَانَ حَتَّى إِذَا فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مَكَّةَ وَفَرَغَ مِنْ أَهْلِ حُنَيْنٍ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعِيَ الْكِتَابُ الَّذِي كَتَبَ لِي قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا عَامِدٌ لَهُ دَخَلْتُ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْ كَتِيبَةٍ مِنْ كَتَائِبِ الْأَنْصَارِ فَطَفِقُوا يَقْرَعُونِي بِالرِّمَاحِ وَيَقُولُونَ إِلَيْكَ إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى إِذَا دَنَوْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى سَاقَيْهِ فِي غَرْزِهِ كَأَنَّهَا جُمَّارَةٌ فَدَفَعْتُ يَدِي بِالْكِتَابِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا كِتَابُكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَوْمُ وَفَاءٍ وَبِرٍّ ادْنُهْ» فَأَسْلَمْتُ

[Machine] He informed him that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left Mecca migrating to Medina, Quraysh offered a hundred camels to anyone who brought him back. He said, while I was sitting in my tribe's gathering, a man from us came and said, "By Allah, I saw three riders pass by me and I suspect that it was Muhammad." I motioned to him to be quiet and said, "They are surely the sons of so-and-so following a lost camel of theirs." He said, "Maybe." Then he remained silent for a while and I got up and commanded my horse to be tied to the bottom of the valley. I took my weapons from behind my room, then I wore it for my people. Then I took my weapons out and wore it, and he said, "The arrow that I hate, will never harm him." I did not want to leave him, so I commanded my horse and I followed their tracks. As they appeared to me, my horse stumbled and I fell off it. I got out my weapons and wore it again, and the arrow that I hated came out unharmed. I shouted to them and said, "Look at me, by Allah, I do not doubt you, and there is nothing from me that you despise." The Messenger of Allah said to him, "Tell him what he wants." So I said, "Write me a document between you and me." He said, "Write, O Abu Bakr." So he wrote it for me and threw it to me. Then I returned and remained silent and did not mention anything of what had happened until when Allah opened Mecca for his Messenger and finished with Hunain, I went out to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I had with me the book that he wrote for me. He said, while I was walking him, I entered between a group of Ansar's groups, and they shook me with their spears and said, "To you, to you." Until when I approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on his camel, I looked at his legs and saw them tied as if they were shackles, so I pushed my hand with the book and said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is your book." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "On the day of loyalty and righteousness." So I embraced Islam.

[Machine] One of us said to his companion, "Let us go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and ask him about the solar eclipse and its significance for his Ummah." So we went to the mosque, and it was crowded with people. We coincided with the Prophet ﷺ coming out and leading the people in prayer, while we prayed after him. He stood for a long time, longer than any prayer we had ever witnessed from him. Then he prostrated for a long time, longer than any prostration we had ever witnessed from him. Then he repeated the same in the second unit of the prayer. And it coincided with the sun becoming clear again. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then finished the prayer, praised and glorified Allah, testified that there is no god but Allah, and that he is His servant and Messenger. Then he said, "O people, I am a human being, a Messenger. I remind you of Allah, if you know that I have omitted anything from conveying the messages of my Lord to you, have I conveyed the messages of my Lord as they should be conveyed?" They said, "We bear witness that you have conveyed the messages of your Lord and given sincere advice to your Ummah, and fulfilled what was required of you." Then he said, "Now, some people claim that the eclipse of the sun and moon or the disappearance of the stars from their positions are signs of the death of great men on earth. But they are lying. Rather, these are signs from the signs of Allah, by which He warns His servants, so that those among them who seek repentance may repent. I have seen this while standing in my place of prayer, which you cannot reach in your worldly and hereafter lives. The Hour will not be established until thirty liars appear, the last of whom is the one-eyed Dajjal. He will have the mark of the eye of Abu Tayyibah, a blind man from the Ansar, between his eyes and Aisha's room. The believers will be confined in the Sacred House and will be severely pressed, and they will be displaced greatly." Al-Aswad bin Qays said, "I thought he meant that Isa ibn Maryam ﷺ would emerge among them and Allah would defeat him and his army. Even if the wall adjoins a stump or the branch of a tree, it will say to the believer, 'This is a disbeliever who has concealed himself behind me, so come and kill him.' But it will not be as you think until you see things happening among you that will cause disputes and you will say to each other, 'Did your Prophet mention anything about this?' And even the mountains will move from their positions, and then comes the time of taking away." Ibn al-Mubarik said, "Meaning death."

[Machine] Narrated by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : While I was with a young boy from the Ansar, we were throwing pebbles at a target during the time of the Prophet ﷺ . Suddenly, the sun rose and a black spear or two spears from the horizon covered it until it illuminated as if it were a lantern. One of us said to his companion, "Let us go to the Prophet's ﷺ mosque, and by Allah, he will tell him about this today, and he will inform his nation about it." So, we went to the mosque and met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he came out to the people. He led us in prayer, and it was the longest prayer we had ever witnessed from him. Then, he made a prolonged bow, the longest we had ever seen from him in prayer. Then, he prostrated for a long time, the longest we had ever seen from him in prayer. After that, he stood up and prayed another rak'ah just like the first one. Then, he sat down, and the brightness of the sun disappeared. He greeted us and left, praising Allah and mentioning Him. Then, he said, "O people, I remind you of Allah. If you know that I have conveyed the message of my Lord, then bear witness. If you know that I have shortened the delivery of the message of my Lord, then bear witness." They said, "We bear witness that you have conveyed the message of your Lord, advised your ummah, and fulfilled your duty." Then, he said, "As for what follows, there are men who claim that the eclipse of the sun, the eclipse of the moon, and the disappearance of stars from their places are due to the death of great men from the people of the earth, but they are lying. Rather, these are the signs of Allah by which He warns His servants, so that those among them who have deviated may repent. By Allah, I have seen things concerning your worldly affairs and your hereafter from the time I started praying until now. And by Allah, the Hour will not be established until thirty liars appear, the last of them being the one-eyed Antichrist. He will be wiping his eye, as if it were the eye of my cousin, 'Abdullah bin Abi Quhafah, between whose house and the room of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with them both) there is a distance. Indeed, when he appears, he will claim to be Allah. Whoever believes in him and affirms his claim, will not benefit from any good deeds he had done before. Whoever disbelieves in him and fights against him, will not be inflicted with any punishment for his previous deeds. Indeed, he will appear on the earth, except for the Haram (Makkah) and the holy land (Jerusalem). He will lead people to Jerusalem, where they will be surrounded to an extreme extent." He said, "I thought that he mentioned that 'Isa ibn Maryam would appear among them in the morning and would kill him and his army until even the corners and pillars call out, 'O Muslim! O believer! This is a disbeliever hiding behind me, so come and kill him.' However, this will not occur until you witness severe and great matters occurring among yourselves, and you will argue among yourselves, 'Did your Prophet ﷺ mention that to you?'" Then, he said, "Afterward, the approaching of death."

[Machine] Narrated by Abu Rafi, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ : I was a servant to Abbas ibn Abdul-Muttalib and I had already embraced Islam, along with Umm al-Fadl. Abbas also embraced Islam but he kept his conversion a secret due to fear of his people. Abu Lahab, on the other hand, had turned away from the Battle of Badr and sent Akhtab ibn Hisham in his place. Akhtab owed a debt to Abbas, so he asked him to cover his debt in return for joining the battle. Abbas agreed, and when news of the battle arrived, Allah inflicted punishment upon Abu Lahab. I was weak at that time and I used to carve these (stone) vessels in a small room. Abu Lahab passed by me and, by Allah, I was sitting in the room carving the vessels while Umm al-Fadl was by me. Abu Lahab saw her and started dragging her by her legs. I said to him, "This is Umm al-Fadl, the sinner, the wife of Abbas, and you see her dragging on the ground?" He replied, "O nephew! Go away and mind your own business." So, Abu Lahab went away and sat next to the pillar in front of the room, with his back towards me. People said, "This is Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith." Then Abu Lahab called me saying, "O nephew! Come here." I went to him and he said, "O nephew! Look at the people. How did they react?" I said, "By Allah, they did not move except when we met them and they attacked us and we defended ourselves. They killed us as they pleased and captured us as they pleased."

By Allah, when I saw the people, I could not bear it. I took the pillar of the room and said, "By Allah, these are the angels." Abu Lahab raised his hand to slap me, but I ducked and his blow struck my face instead. Umm al-Fadl witnessed this and she held him back. I then picked up a piece of the pillar and hit him with it, causing a deep wound on his head. She said, "You enemy of Allah, have you oppressed him when you see his master absent?" Abu Lahab became submissive and, by Allah, he did not live for more than seven nights before Allah struck him with a disease that killed him. His sons left him for two or three nights until they buried him. A man from Quraish said to his sons, "Aren't you ashamed? Your father has died and you have left him in his house." They replied, "We fear this disease." Quraish used to avoid the disease like they would avoid the plague. The man said, "I will go with you." They replied, "By Allah, they only washed him by throwing water at him from distant places and then they carried him and threw him on top of a wall. They stoned him to death."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Ghālib ibn Abdullah al-Kalbi, the dog of Awf ibn Layth, on an expedition in which I was with them. He ordered him to launch a raid against the Banī al-Mulawwih with the people of al-Kadīd. He said, "So we went out until we reached al-Qudayd and encountered al-Hārith ibn Barṣā' al-Laythī. We captured him and he said, 'Indeed, I have come to embrace Islam. I only went out seeking the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' We said, 'If you are a Muslim, staying with us for a night will not harm you. But if not, we will take security from you.' So we took his security and bound him with ropes. Then we left him with Rawijilān who were with us, including Aswad. We said to him, 'If he rebels against you, strike his head.' Then we came to al-Kadīd at sunset. We were in a valley, and my companions sent me to a hill overlooking the present location. I climbed up it until I was on its back, and I looked toward the people. I could see them prostrating before morning. Suddenly, a man came out of his hiding place and said to his wife, 'By Allah, I see a darkness that I did not see at the beginning of the day. Check your belongings. The dogs might have damaged some.' She said, 'By Allah, I have not lost anything.' He said, 'Give me my bow.' She gave him a bow and two arrows. He shot an arrow and said, 'By Allah, not one of them missed my side.' He said, 'So I snatched it from him and held him down, and then he shot the other, which I snatched from him and held down. He said to his wife, 'If it were loose, he would have moved. He surely felt the touch of my arrows.' Then he entered until the smell of the people's camels and sheep was gone, and they found that they had been captured and robbed. So we attacked them, killed them, and seized their sheep. Then we set out and returned. The people pursued us until we came by the son of al-Barṣā' and we took him with us along with our companion whom we left behind. We were pursued until we could see them, and there was nothing between us and them but the valley. They were facing us, and from the other side, as we were running, Allah brought rain from where He willed, such rain that no one would be able to collect. I saw them standing, looking at us as we were running, and no one from among them could reach us. When we passed by them, I will never forget a saying of a Muslim poet who was running the same path behind us.

بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غَالِبَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْكَلْبِيَّ كَلْبَ عَوْفِ بْنِ لَيْثٍ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ كُنْتُ فِيهِمْ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَشِنَّ الْغَارَةَ عَلَى بَنِي الْمُلَوِّحِ بِالْكَدِيدِ قَالَ فَخَرَجْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِقُدَيْدٍ لَقِينَا الْحَارِثَ بْنَ بَرْصَاءَ اللَّيْثِيَّ فَأَخَذْنَاهُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا جِئْتُ لِأُسْلِمَ إِنَّمَا خَرَجْتُ أُرِيدُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ قُلْنَا إِنْ تَكُنْ مُسْلِمًا فَلَنْ يَضُرَّكَ رِبَاطُ لَيْلَةٍ وَإِنْ تَكُنْ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَسَنُوثِقُ مِنْكَ فَأَوْثَقْنَاهُ رِبَاطًا ثُمَّ خَلَّفْنَا عَلَيْهِ رُوَيْجِلًا لَنَا أَسْوَدَ كَانَ مَعَنَا فَقُلْنَا لَهُ إِنْ نَازَعَكَ فَاحْتَزَّ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَا الْكَدِيدَ مَعَ مَغْرِبِ الشَّمْسِ وَكُنَّا فِي نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ الْوَادِيِ وَبَعَثَنِي أَصْحَابِي رَبِيئَةً لَهُمْ إِلَى تَلٍّ مُشْرِفٍ عَلَى الْحَاضِرِ قَالَ فَأَسْنَدْتُ فِيهِ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنْتُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ وَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْقَوْمِ انْبَطَحَتُ فَوَاللهِ إِنِّي لَعَلَيْهِ أَنْظُرُ إِذْ خَرَجَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خِبَائِهِ فَقَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَى سَوَادًا مَا رَأَيْتُهُ فِي أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ فَانْظُرِي فِي أَوْعِيَتِكِ لَا يَكُونُ الْكِلَابُ اجْتَرَّتْ بَعْضَهَا فَنَظَرْتُ قَالَتْ فَوَاللهِ مَا أَفْقِدُ مِنْ أَوْعِيَتِي شَيْئًا قَالَ أَعْطِينِي قَوْسِي فَأَعْطَتْهُ قَوْسًا وَسَهْمَيْنِ مَعَهَا قَالَ فَرَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فَوَاللهِ مَا أَخْطَأَ جَنْبِي قَالَ فَانْتَزَعْتُهُ وَثَبَتُّ قَالَ ثُمَّ رَمَى بِالْآخَرِ فَوَضَعَهُ فِي مَنْكِبِي فَانْتَزَعْتُهُ وَثَبَتُّ فَقَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ لَوْ كَانَتْ زَائِلَةٍ لَقَدْ تَحَرَّكَ بَعْدُ لَقَدْ خَالَطَهُ سَهْمَاي فَإِذَا أَنْتِ أَصْبَحْتِ فَابْتَغِيهِمَا فَخُذِيهِمَا لَا تُضَيِّعُهُما الْكِلَابُ قَالَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا رَاحَتْ رَائِحَةُ النَّاسِ مِنْ إِبِلِهِمْ وَغَنَمِهِمْ قَدِ احْتَلَبُوا وَغَبِطُوا وَاطْمَأَنُّوا شَنَنَّا عَلَيْهِمُ الْغَارَةَ فَقَتَلْنَا وَاسْتَقْنَا الْغَنَمَ ثُمَّ وَجَّهْنَاهَا وَخَرَجَ صَرِيخُ الْقَوْمِ فِي قَوْمِهِمْ فَجَاءَهُمُ الدَّهْمُ فَجَاءُوا فِي طَلَبِنَا حَتَّى مَرَرْنَا بِابْنِ الْبَرْصَاءِ فَانْطَلَقْنَا بِهِ مَعَنَا وبِصَاحِبِنَا الَّذِي خَلَّفْنَاهُ قَالَ فَأَدْرَكَنَا الْقَوْمُ حَتَّى نَظَرْنَا إِلَيْهِمْ مَا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ إِلَّا الْوَادِي عَلَى نَاحِيَتِهِ مُوَجِّهِينَ وَمِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الْأُخْرَى فِي طَلَبِنَا إِذْ جَاءَ اللهُ بِهِ مِنْ حَيْثُ شَاءَ مَا رَأَيْنَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ مَطَرًا مَا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ عَلَى أَنْ يُجِيزَهُ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُمْ وُقُوفًا يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْنَا وَنَحْنُ نَحْدُوها مَا يَقْدِرُ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يَصِلَ إِلَيْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا عَرَجْنَاها مَا أَنْسَى قَوْلَ رَاجِزٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينِ وَهُوَ يَحْدُوها فِي أَعْقَابِها

[Machine] We were a people of merchants, and war had besieged us between us and the Messenger of Allah until our wealth was destroyed. When a ceasefire was made between us and the Messenger of Allah, we did not feel safe with our wealth. So I went out with a group from Quraysh, heading towards Syria, where our trade was. I arrived there during the time when Heraclius appeared. He detained those who opposed him from Persia and confiscated their cross, which they had seized from him. When Heraclius heard this news from them and learned that his cross had been saved for him, he was overjoyed and thanked Allah. When Heraclius returned to him what he had returned for him to pray in the holy house, the path was extended for him with rugs and scented with musk. When he reached Jerusalem and completed his prayer, with him were his staff and the bishops of the Romans. The Messenger of Allah’s letter arrived for him, carried by Dhihya ibn Khalifa al-Kalbi, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. From Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, to Heraclius, the great leader of the Romans, peace be upon whoever follows guidance. To proceed, submit and you will be safe. Submit and Allah will give you twice your reward. But if you turn away, then the sin of the disbelievers will be upon you. Muhammad ibn Ishaq said that Ibn Shihab narrated to him that the bishops of the Christians said, "I met him (Heraclius) during the time of 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan and he claimed that he knew about the affair of the Messenger of Allah and Heraclius. His intellect mentioned that when he received the Messenger of Allah's letter. he placed it between his two thighs and waist. Then he wrote to a man in Rome who used to recite from the Hebrew what he recited, mentioning his affair and describing his state. With this news that had come to him, he wrote to the companion of the Roman asking him to inform Heraclius that this was the Prophet that they had been awaiting, with no doubt about him. So they followed him and believed in him, and Heraclius ordered the bishops of the Romans to bring him the crosses of the Romans. They gathered them for him in a pillowcase, which was carried on the gates, and then he inspected them from above and appreciated them, for they feared for their own selves. They said, 'O Romans, I have gathered you for news. This man has sent me a letter inviting me to his religion, and by Allah, this is the man that we have been anticipating, and we find mention of him in our scriptures. So come, let us follow him and believe in him, and he will grant us our worldly needs as well as the hereafter.' So they prostrated before him, and he ordered the opening of the gates, so they opened for them and they left.

[Machine] I went with a man until we entered upon Fatimah bint Qays, the sister of Dihyah bin Qays. We said, "O Fatimah, tell us a narration that you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She said, "Yes." So she gave us dates and water to drink. She said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one day and sat on the pulpit. The people surrounded him and took refuge with him. He said, 'O people, I have been made to sit here due to a piece of news.' She said, 'And it was not on the hour that he used to sit in. Tameem Ad-Dari entered upon me today during the migration or around Dhuhr time. He informed me that his cousins were thrown into a ship in the sea on an island that they do not know. So they went into it, walking, and they came across something that they did not recognize if it was a man or a woman, from what it was clothed with hair. So they said, 'Who are you?' It said, 'I am the Jassasah!' They said, 'Inform us.' It said, 'I do not inform you, nor do I ask you anything. But if you want the news, go to this monastery,' pointing to a monastery on the island, not far away. So we went on walking until we entered it and found a man who was bound with iron, large and heavy. His back was leaning against the side of a mountain. He said, 'Who are you?' We said, 'People from the Arabs.' He said, 'What did the unlettered Prophet ﷺ do?' We said, 'He has left.' He said, 'What did the date-palms of Bani Uman and Baysan do?' We said, 'They bear fruits and produce.' He said, 'What did the spring of Zughar do?' We said, 'It remains the same.' He said, 'What did the lake of Tabariyyah do?' We said, 'It is full.' He struck his hand upon his thigh and said, 'I have lost everything of the land except Makkah and Madinah.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Madinah will be shaken one, twice. No dajjal shall enter it. There is no spot in it that is not guarded by angels, except that they shall stand upon a rock, raising the sword.' And he pointed with his hand, 'And from the direction of Yemen is what?' We said, 'Whatever Allah wills.' Then he said, while pointing with his hand, 'And his shirt is close to thirty times the size from the direction of Iraq and it is not less than thirty times.'

[Machine] Omar, I am staying the night if God wills. I am warning them against those people who oppress them in their affairs," said Abdulrahman. So I said, "Oh Amir al-Mu'minin, do not do that on this day. The season gathers the masses and their chaos. I fear that you might say something that they would take and fly off with, and not put it in its proper place. Wait until you enter the city, as it is the abode of migration, Sunnah, and faith. Purify yourself with the scholars and their leaders. Say what you want to say in a way that they understand it and put it in its proper place," said Omar. "If I enter the city safely, I will speak to the people there in the first gathering I establish, if God wills," he added. According to Ibn Abbas, when I arrived at the city, I migrated to Jumaa and found Sa'id ibn Zayd had already proceeded me in migration. He sat next to the pulpit and I sat next to him. Omar did not ascend the pulpit, so I ascended it and performed the prayer of witness and praised Allah for what He deserves. Then he said, "As for what follows, I will say something to you which I do not know if it will remain with you until my death. Whoever understands it and preserves it, let him speak it wherever his journey ends. And whoever fears that he will not understand it, then it is not allowed for anyone to accuse me of lying. Indeed, Allah sent Muhammad ﷺ with the truth and revealed the book to him. In what was revealed to him was the verse of stoning, so we recited it and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ carried it out, and we carried it out after him. I fear that if a long time passes, someone might say, ‘We do not find the stoning in the book of Allah,’ and they will go astray by abandoning an obligation that Allah has revealed. Indeed, stoning is prescribed in the book of Allah for the one who committed adultery, if he is married, be it from the males or females, when clear evidence is established or if a confession is made."

[Machine] 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."
