When Allah favored His Apostle with the properties of Hawazin tribe as Fai (booty), he started giving to some Quarries men even up to one-hundred camels each, whereupon some Ansari men said about Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "May Allah forgive His Apostle! He is giving to (men of) Quraish and leaves us, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dropping blood (of the infidels)" When Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed of what they had said, he called the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent and did not call anybody else along, with them. When they gathered, Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said, "What is the statement which, I have been informed, and that which you have said?" The learned ones among them replied," O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! The wise ones amongst us did not say anything, but the youngsters amongst us said, 'May Allah forgive His Apostle; he gives the Quarish and leaves the Ansar, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dribbling (wet) with the blood of the infidels.' " Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, I give to such people as are still close to the period of Infidelity (i.e. they have recently embraced Islam and Faith is still weak in their hearts). Won't you be pleased to see people go with fortune, while you return with Messenger of Allah ﷺ to your houses? By Allah, what you will return with, is better than what they are returning with." The Ansar replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we are satisfied' Then the Prophet ﷺ said to them." You will find after me, others being preferred to you. Then be patient till you meet Allah and meet His Apostle at Al-Kauthar (i.e. a fount in Paradise)." (Anas added:) But we did not remain patient.

أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ مَا أَفَاءَ فَطَفِقَ يُعْطِي رِجَالاً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الإِبِلِ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَدَعُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَحُدِّثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِمَقَالَتِهِمْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ وَلَمْ يَدْعُ مَعَهُمْ أَحَدًا غَيْرَهُمْ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا كَانَ حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ قَالَ لَهُ فُقَهَاؤُهُمْ أَمَّا ذَوُو آرَائِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا أُنَاسٌ مِنَّا حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُ الأَنْصَارَ وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالاً حَدِيثٌ عَهْدُهُمْ بِكُفْرٍ أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالأَمْوَالِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ بَعْدِي أُثْرَةً شَدِيدَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوُا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ﷺ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَلَمْ نَصْبِرْ

When Allah gave Messenger of Allah ﷺ what he gave of the properties of the Hawazin tribe as a war booty, the Prophet ﷺ started giving some men 100 camels each. The Ansar (then) said, "May Allah forgive Messenger of Allah ﷺs as he gives to Quraish and leaves us although our swords are still dribbling with the blood of Quraish." Allah Apostle was informed of their statement, so he sent for the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent, and did not call anybody else along with them. When they al I gathered, the Prophet ﷺ got up and said, "What is this talk being informed to me about you?" The learned men amongst the Ansar said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Our chiefs did not say anything, but some people amongst us who are younger in age said. 'May Allah forgive Messenger of Allah ﷺ as he gives (of the booty) to Quraish and leaves us though our swords are still dribbling with their blood." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I give to these men who have newly deserted heathenism (and embraced Islam) so as to attract their hearts. Won't you be happy that the people take the wealth while you take the Prophet ﷺ with you to your homes? By Allah, what you are taking is better than whatever they are taking." They (i.e. the Ansar) said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We are satisfied." The Prophet ﷺ then said to them. "You will find others favored over you greatly, so be patient till you meet Allah and His Apostle and I will be at the Tank then." Anas added: But they did not remain patient.

نَاسٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ حِينَ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ مَا أَفَاءَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ فَطَفِقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُعْطِي رِجَالاً الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الإِبِلِ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَحُدِّثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَقَالَتِهِمْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ وَلَمْ يَدْعُ مَعَهُمْ غَيْرَهُمْ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا قَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ فَقَالَ فُقَهَاءُ الأَنْصَارِ أَمَّا رُؤَسَاؤُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا نَاسٌ مِنَّا حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَإِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالاً حَدِيثِي عَهْدٍ بِكُفْرٍ أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالأَمْوَالِ وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ فَوَاللَّهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا فَقَالَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَتَجِدُونَ أُثْرَةً شَدِيدَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوُا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ﷺ فَإِنِّي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَلَمْ يَصْبِرُوا

May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he bestowed (these camels) upon the people of Quraish, and he ignored us, whereas our swords are still dripping blood. Anas b. Malik said: Their statement was conveyed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he sent (someone) to the Ansar and gathered them under a tent of leather. When they had assembled, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said: What is this news that has reached me from you? The wise people of the Ansar said: Messenger of Allah, so far as the sagacious amongst us are concerned they have said nothing, but we have amongst us persons of immature age; they said: May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he gave to the Quraish and ignored us (despite the fact) that our swords are besmeared with their blood. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I give (at times material gifts) to persons who were quite recently in the state of unbelief, so that I may incline them to truth Don't you feel delighted that people should go with riches, and you should go back to your places with the Messenger of Allah? By Allah, that with which you would return is better than that with which they would return. They said: Yes, Messenger of Allah, we are pleased. The Prophet said too: You would find marked preference (in conferring of the material gifts) in future, so you should show patience till you meet Allah and His Messenger and I would he at the Haud Kauthar. They said: We would show patience.

[AI] "When the messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, I said to a man from the Ansar, 'O so and so, come let us ask the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , for they are still numerous today.' He marveled at me and said, 'O Ibn Abbas, do you think people are in need of you? Among the people there are companions of the Prophet ﷺ , who do you see?' I left this matter and approached (the companions) to ask them. If there was a hadeeth from a person, I went to him while he was speaking, I leaned my cloak on his door, and the wind blew dust on my face. He would come out and see me, and say, 'O cousin of the Messenger of Allah, what brought you here? Did you not send for me so that I could come to you?' I would say, 'No, I am more deserving of coming to you, so I ask you about the hadeeth.' The man would then remain until he saw me, and the people had gathered around me, and he said, 'This boy was more intelligent than me.'"

«لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَا فُلَانُ هَلُمَّ فَلْنَسْأَلْ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَإِنَّهُمُ الْيَوْمَ كَثِيرٌ» فَقَالَ واعجبًا لَكَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَتَرَى النَّاسَ يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَفِي النَّاسِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَنْ تَرَى؟ فَتَرَكَ ذَلِكَ وَأَقْبَلْتُ عَلَى الْمَسْأَلَةِ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَيَبْلُغُنِي الْحَدِيثُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ فَآتِيهِ وَهُوَ قَائِلٌ فَأَتَوَسَّدُ رِدَائِي عَلَى بَابِهِ فَتَسْفِي الرِّيحُ عَلَى وَجْهِي التُّرَابَ فَيَخْرُجُ فَيَرَانِي فَيَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ أَلَا أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيَّ فَآتِيَكَ؟ فَأَقُولُ لَا أَنَا أَحَقُّ أَنْ آتِيَكَ فَأَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ فَبَقِيَ الرَّجُلُ حَتَّى رَآنِي وَقَدِ اجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ «كَانَ هَذَا الْفَتَى أَعْقَلَ مِنِّي»

[AI] Some of the Ansar said on the day of Hunayn, when Allah bestowed upon His Messenger the spoils of war, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would give one hundred camels to every man of Quraysh. They said, "May Allah forgive the Messenger of Allah; he gives Quraysh and leaves us, and our swords are dripping with their blood." Anas said, "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed about their statements, he sent for the Ansar and gathered them in a dome made of adobe, and no one else was with them. When they had gathered, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said, "What is the news that has reached me about you?" The Ansar said: "As for those who are of our opinion, they did not say anything, but as for the newcomers among us, they said such and such in response to what they had said." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, I give to men who have newly entered into a pledge of disbelief, which I hope they will embrace or ask me for. Do you not want the people to go away with the wealth and you return to your own possessions with the Messenger of Allah?" They said, "Indeed, O Messenger of Allah, we are satisfied." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, you will find severe difficulty after me, so be patient until you meet Allah and His Messenger, for I will meet you at the Pond." Anas said, "So we were patient."

[AI] On the day of Hunayn, the Hawazin tribe came with their children, women, camels, and livestock, and they formed rows, increasing in number against the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . When they met, the Muslims turned their backs, as Allah the Almighty had stated. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O servants of Allah, I am the slave of Allah and His Messenger. O people of Ansar, I am the slave of Allah and His Messenger." So Allah defeated the polytheists and they did not strike with a sword or stab with a spear. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on that day, "Whoever kills a disbeliever, his belongings are his reward." Abu Talhah killed twenty men that day and took their belongings. Abu Qatadah said, "O Messenger of Allah, I struck a man with a chainmail armor and was unable to retrieve it. Look for someone who took it." A man stood up and said, "I took it, so give it to me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would never be asked for something and refuse to give it, so he remained silent. 'Umar said, "By Allah, Allah will not grant you and give it to the likes of you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed and said, "Umar is truthful." The mother of Sulaym had a dagger with her, and Abu Talhah asked her, "Why do you have this with you?" She said, "I took it in case any of the disbelievers come close to me, I can stab him in the stomach." Abu Talhah said, "O Messenger of Allah, don't you hear what Umm Sulaym is saying?" She said, "O Messenger of Allah, kill those who come after us from the enemies because they were defeated because of you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah has sufficed us and blessed us, O Umm Sulaym."

[AI] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, I said to a man from the Ansar, "Come, let us ask the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , for today they are many.” He said, astonished, "Oh Ibn Abbas, do you think people are in need of you while there are companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ among the people?" He said, "So I left that and approached to ask the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and if the narration reached me from a person, I would go to his door, leaning my shawl against it while the wind blew dust on me. Then he would come out and see me, and he would say, 'O cousin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , what brought you? Why didn't you send someone to come to me?' I would say, 'I am more deserving to come to you.'" He said, "So I would ask him about the hadith and this Ansari man lived until he saw me and the people gathered around me to ask me, and he would say, 'This young boy was more intelligent than me.'"

لَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ هَلُمَّ فَلْنَسْأَلْ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِنَّهُمُ الْيَوْمَ كَثِيرٌ فَقَالَ وَاعَجَبًا لَكَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَتَرَى النَّاسَ يَفْتَقِرُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَفِي النَّاسِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ فِيهِمْ قَالَ «فَتَرَكْتُ ذَاكَ وَأَقْبَلْتُ أَسْأَلُ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَبْلُغُنِي الْحَدِيثُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ فَآتِي بَابَهُ وَهُوَ قَائِلٌ فَأَتَوَسَّدُ رِدَائِي عَلَى بَابِهِ يَسْفِي الرِّيحُ عَلَيَّ مِنَ التُّرَابِ فَيَخْرُجُ فَيَرَانِي» فَيَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ هَلَّا أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيَّ فَآتِيَكَ؟ فَأَقُولُ «لَا أَنَا أَحَقُّ أَنْ آتِيَكَ» قَالَ فَأَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْحَدِيثِ فَعَاشَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ حَتَّى رَآنِي وَقَدِ اجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ حَوْلِي يَسْأَلُونِي فَيَقُولُ «هَذَا الْفَتَى كَانَ أَعْقَلَ مِنِّي»

[AI] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, I said to a man from the Ansar, "Come, let us seek knowledge, for the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ are still alive." He said in astonishment, "O Ibn Abbas, don't you see that people are in need of you? And among the people, are there any companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" I left that and approached to seek knowledge. If a hadith reached me from a person who heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I would go to him and sit at his door, with the wind blowing on my face. He would come out and say, "O cousin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, what brings you here? What do you need?" I would say, "I have heard a hadith that was narrated to me from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He would say, "Why didn't you send for me?" And I would say, "I am more entitled to come to you." So that man remained until the people gathered around me, and he said, "This young man was more intelligent than me."

لَمَّا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ «هَلُمَّ يَا فُلَانُ فَلْنَطْلُبِ الْعِلْمَ فَإِنَّ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَحْيَاءٌ» قَالَ عَجَبًا لَكَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ تَرَى النَّاسَ يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَفِي النَّاسِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ فِيهِمْ؟ قَالَ فَتَرَكْتُ ذَاكَ وَأَقْبَلْتُ أَطْلُبُ إِنْ كَانَ الْحَدِيثُ لَيَبْلُغُنِي عَنِ الرَّجُلِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَآتِيهِ فَأَجْلِسُ بِبَابَهُ فَتَسْفِي الرِّيحُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَيَخْرُجُ إِلَيَّ فَيَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ مَا حَاجَتُكَ؟ فَأَقُولُ «حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي تَرْوِيهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ» فَيَقُولُ «أَلَا أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيَّ؟» فَأَقُولُ «أَنَا أَحَقُّ أَنْ آتِيَكَ» قَالَ فَبَقِيَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ حَتَّى أَنَّ النَّاسَ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ «هَذَا الْفَتَى كَانَ أَعْقَلَ مِنِّي»

May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he bestowed (these camels) upon the people of Quraish, and he ignored us, whereas our swords are still dripping blood. Anas b. Malik said: Their statement was conveyed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he sent (someone) to the Ansar and gathered them under a tent of leather. When they had assembled, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said: What is this news that has reached me from you? The wise people of the Ansar said: Messenger of Allah, so far as the sagacious amongst us are concerned they have said nothing, but we have amongst us persons of immature age; they said: May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he gave to the Quraish and ignored us (despite the fact) that our swords are besmeared with their blood. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I give (at times material gifts) to persons who were quite recently in the state of unbelief, so that I may incline them to truth Don't you feel delighted that people should go with riches, and you should go back to your places with the Messenger of Allah? By Allah, that with which you would return is better than that with which they would return. They said: Yes, Messenger of Allah, we are pleased. The Prophet said too: You would find marked preference (in conferring of the material gifts) in future, so you should show patience till you meet Allah and His Messenger and I would he at the Haud Kauthar. They said: We would show patience. (Using translation from Muslim 1059a)

أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ حِينَ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ مَا أَفَاءَ فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي رِجَالًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْمِئَةَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِهِ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَحَدَّثْتُ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ قَوْلِهِمْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ؟ » فَقَالَ لَهُ قَوْمٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَمَّا ذَوُو أَسْنَانِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا نَاسٌ مِنَّا حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِهِ يُعْطِي أُنَاسًا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالًا حَدِيثِي عَهْدٍ بِالْكُفْرِ أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ أَفَلَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالْأَمْوَالِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ؟ فَوَاللَّهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ» فَقَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا قَالَ «فَإِنَّكُمْ سَتَجِدُونَ أَثَرَةً شَدِيدَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلَقَوَا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ» قَالُوا سَنَصْبِرُ

[AI] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, I said to a man, "Come, let us learn from the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and ask them, for indeed, they are many." The man said, "By Allah, you, O Ibn Abbas, do you see that people are in need of you? And among the people, who do you see from the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" So, I left that and approached the matter and followed the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. If I wanted to come to a man in a conversation, I would find him saying, so I would lean my cloak against the door of his house, with the wind blowing on my face, until he would come out to me. And when he saw me, he would say, "O cousin of the Messenger of Allah, what is it for you?" I would say, "I have heard a narration that reached me that you narrate from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so I wanted to hear it from you." He would say, "Why don't you send for me, and I will come to you?" I would say, "I thought I was more deserving to come to you." And that man would see that the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had gone and the people were in need of me, so he would say, "You were more deserving than me."

لَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ لِرَجُلٍ هَلُمَّ فَلْنَتَعَلَّمَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نَسْأَلُهُمْ؛ فَإِنَّهُمْ كَثِيرٌ فَقَالَ الْعَجَبُ وَاللهِ لَكَ يَا ابنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَتَرَى النَّاسَ يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَفِي النَّاسِ مَنْ تَرَى مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَتَرَكْتُ ذَلِكَ وَأَقْبَلْتُ عَلَى الْمَسْأَلَةِ وَتَتَبُّعِ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَآتِي الرَّجُلَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ يَبْلُغُنِي أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَجِدُهُ قَائِلًا فَأَتَوَسَّدُ رِدَائِي عَلَى بَابِ دَارِهِ تَسْفِي الرِّيَاحُ عَلَى وَجْهِي حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ إِلَيَّ فَإِذَا رَآنِي قَالَ يَا ابنَ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ مَا لَكَ؟ قُلْتُ حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تُحَدِّثُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَسْمَعَهُ مِنْكَ فَيَقُولُ هَلَّا أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيَّ فَآتِيَكَ فَأَقُولُ أَنَا كُنْتُ أَحَقَّ أَنْ آتِيَكَ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ يَرَانِي قَدْ ذَهَبَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَدِ احْتَاجَ النَّاسُ إِلَيَّ فَيَقُولُ أَنْتَ كُنْتَ أَحَقَّ مِنِّي

When Allah favored His Apostle with the properties of Hawazin tribe as Fai (booty), he started giving to some Quarries men even up to one-hundred camels each, whereupon some Ansari men said about Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "May Allah forgive His Apostle! He is giving to (men of) Quraish and leaves us, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dropping blood (of the infidels)" When Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed of what they had said, he called the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent and did not call anybody else along, with them. When they gathered, Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said, "What is the statement which, I have been informed, and that which you have said?" The learned ones among them replied," O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! The wise ones amongst us did not say anything, but the youngsters amongst us said, 'May Allah forgive His Apostle; he gives the Quarish and leaves the Ansar, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dribbling (wet) with the blood of the infidels.' " Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, I give to such people as are still close to the period of Infidelity (i.e. they have recently embraced Islam and Faith is still weak in their hearts). Won't you be pleased to see people go with fortune, while you return with Messenger of Allah ﷺ to your houses? By Allah, what you will return with, is better than what they are returning with." The Ansar replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we are satisfied' Then the Prophet ﷺ said to them." You will find after me, others being preferred to you. Then be patient till you meet Allah and meet His Apostle at Al-Kauthar (i.e. a fount in Paradise)." (Anas added:) But we did not remain patient. (Using translation from Bukhārī 3147)

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمَّا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مَا أَفَاءَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ طَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي رِجَالًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ «فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ وَلَمْ يَدَعْ مَعَهُمْ أَحَدًا فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا» قَالَ «مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ؟» قَالَ فُقَهَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ أَمَّا ذَوُو الرَّأْيِ مِنَّا فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَإِنَّمَا أُنَاسٌ حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا «يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَأُعْطِي رِجَالًا حَدِيثٌ عَهْدُهُمْ بِالْكُفْرِ فَأَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ أَفَلَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالْأَمْوَالِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَوَاللهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ» قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ «إِنَّكُمْ سَتَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً شَدِيدَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوُا اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ» قَالَ أَنَسٌ «فَلَمْ نَصْبِرْ»

[AI] He said, when Allah fulfilled His promise to His Messenger with regards to the spoils of war, they say, on the day of Hunayn, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was giving a hundred camels to some men of the Quraysh. Then a man from the Ansar said, "May Allah forgive the Messenger of Allah. He gives men from the Quraysh and leaves us while our swords are still dripping with their blood?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, I give men who have newly embraced Islam in order to reconcile their hearts. Do you not wish that people take the wealth and you take the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with you? By Allah, when you go back, it will be better than what they have." They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, we are pleased with that."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمَّا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مَا أَفَاءَ مِنْ أَمْوَالٍ يَقُولُونَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ طَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي رِجَالًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ يُعْطِي رِجَالًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَأُعْطِي رِجَالًا حَدِيثٌ عَهْدُهُمْ بِالْكُفْرِ فَأَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ أَوَلَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالْأَمْوَالِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَاللهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ خَيْرٌ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ» قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا مُخْتَصَرٌ

[AI] He sent him on an army made up of people wearing chains. He said, "I came to him and asked, 'Who is the most beloved to you among the people?' He said, 'Aisha.' I asked, 'Among the men?' He said, 'Her father.' I asked, 'Then who?' He said, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab.' He counted the men again."

By Allah, there is no maintenance allowance for you, except in case you are pregnant. She came to Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) and mentioned their opinion to him, whereupon he said: There is no maintenance allowance for you. Then she sought permission to move (to another place), and he (the Holy Prophet) permitted her. She said: Messenger of Allah, where (should I go)? He said: To the house of Ibn Umm Maktum and, as he is blind, she could put off her garmeqts in his presence and he would not see her. And when her 'Idda was over. Allah's Apostle ﷺ married her to Usama b. Zaid. Marwan (the governor of Medina) sent Qabisa b. Dhuwaib in order to ask her about this hadith, and she narrated it to him, whereupon Marwan said: We have not heard this hadith but from a woman. We would adopt a safe (path) where we found the people. Fatima said that when these words of, Marwan were conveyed to her. There is between me and you the word of Allah, the Exalted and Majestic: Do" not turn them out" of their houses. She asserted: This is in regard to the revocable divorce what new (turn can the event take) after three pronouncements (separation between irrevocable). Why do you say there is no maintenance allowance for her if she is not pregnant? Then on what ground do you restrain her? (Using translation from Muslim 1480h)

حَامِلًا فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَتْ لَهُ قَوْلَهُمَا فَقَالَ لَا نَفَقَةَ لَكِ وَاسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ فِي الِانْتِقَالِ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ أَيْنَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ إِلَى ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَكَانَ أَعْمَى تَضَعُ ثِيَابَهَا عِنْدَهُ وَلَا يَرَاهَا فَلَمَّا مَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا أَنْكَحَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا مَرْوَانُ قَبِيصَةَ بْنَ ذُؤَيْبٍ يَسْأَلُهَا عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَحَدَّثَتْهُ بِهِ فَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ لَمْ نَسْمَعْ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ إِلَّا مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ سَنَأْخُذُ بِالْعِصْمَةِ الَّتِي وَجَدْنَا النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ؓ حِينَ بَلَغَهَا قَوْلُ مَرْوَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمُ الْقُرْآنُ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ لَا تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَلَا يَخْرُجْنَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْتِينَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ حَتَّى بَلَغَ {لَا تَدْرِي لَعَلَّ اللهَ يُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَمْرًا} [الطلاق 1] قَالَتْ هَذَا لِمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ مُرَاجَعَةٌ فَأِيُّ أَمْرٍ يَحْدُثُ بَعْدَ الثَّلَاثِ فَكَيْفَ تَقُولُونَ لَا نَفَقَةَ لَهَا إِذَا لَمْ تَكُنْ حَامِلًا فَعَلَامَ تَحْبِسُونَهَا؟

[AI] They said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr and Umar and the caliphs used to enforce it." He said, "What do you say, Abu Qilabah?" He said, "With you are the leaders of the armies and the nobles of the Arabs." A man from the people of Homs testified against a man from the people of Damascus that he had stolen and they did not witness him, would you cut him?" He said, "No." He said, "Four men from the people of Damascus testified against a man from the people of Homs that he committed adultery and they did not witness him, would you stone him?" He said, "No." He said, "So this is similar. By Allah, we never knew the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to kill anyone except that he would kill a man in return. Anbasa bin Sa'id said, "So where is the Hadith of the Qur'anists?" Abu Qilabah said, "I heard Anas bin Malik narrating from Anas bin Malik that a people from 'Ukl or 'Urainah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and settled in the city. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded them to drink the milk and urine of their camels. So they set out, but when they recovered, they killed the shepherd of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and stole the camels. The news of their actions reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from early in the morning. So he sent men after them and it was not long before they were brought to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that their hands and feet be cut off and that their eyes be branded and they were thrown in the sun. They remained thirsty until they died. These are people who killed, stole, and disbelieved after their belief." Anbasa said, "How perfect is Allah!" Abu Qilabah said, "Are you accusing me, O Anbasa?" He said, "No, but this army will continue to be in good as long as Allah keeps you among them."

قَالُوا أَقَادَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَالْخُلَفَاءُ ؓ قَالَ مَا تَقُولُ يَا أَبَا قِلَابَةَ؟ قَالَ عِنْدَكَ رُءُوسُ الْأَجْنَادِ وَأَشْرَافُ الْعَرَبِ شَهِدَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ حِمْصٍ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ دِمَشْقَ أَنَّهُ سَرَقَ وَلَمْ يَرَوْهُ أَكُنْتَ تَقْطَعُهُ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ شَهِدَ أَرْبَعَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ دِمَشْقَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ حِمْصٍ أَنَّهُ زَنَى وَلَمْ يَرَوْهُ أَكُنْتَ تَرْجُمُهُ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَهَذَا أَشْبَهُ وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَتَلَ أَحَدًا إِلَّا أَنْ يَقْتُلَ رَجُلًا فَيُقْتَلَ بِهِ قَالَ عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ فَأَيْنَ حَدِيثُ الْعُرَنِيِّينَ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ إِيَّايَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ قَوْمًا مِنْ عُكْلٍ أَوْ عُرَيْنَةَ قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَاجْتَوَوَا الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَمَرَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِلِقَاحٍ وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا فَانْطَلَقُوا فَلَمَّا صَحُّوا قَتَلُوا رَاعِيَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَاسْتَاقُوا النَّعَمَ فَبَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَبَرُهُمْ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ فَبَعَثَ فِي آثَارِهِمْ فَمَا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ حَتَّى أُتِيَ بِهِمْ فَأَمَرَ بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُطِعَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُمْ وَسُمِرَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمْ وَأُلْقُوا فِي الْحَرَّةِ يَسْتَسْقُونَ فَلَا يُسْقَوْنَ حَتَّى مَاتُوا فَهَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ قَتَلُوا وَسَرَقُوا وَكَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِيمَانَهِمْ فَقَالَ عَنْبَسَةُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ أَتَتَّهِمُنِي يَا عَنْبَسَةُ؟ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا الْجُنْدَ لَا يَزَالُ بِخَيْرٍ مَا أَبْقَاكَ اللهُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهِمْ
