The Emigrants and the Ansar started digging the trench around Medina carrying the earth on their backs and saying, "We are those who have given a pledge of allegiance to Muhammad that we will I carry on Jihad as long as we live." The Prophet ﷺ kept on replying, "O Allah, there is no good except the good of the Hereafter; so confer Your Blessings on the Ansar and the Emigrants."  

جَعَلَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالأَنْصَارُ يَحْفِرُونَ الْخَنْدَقَ حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَيَنْقُلُونَ التُّرَابَ عَلَى مُتُونِهِمْ وَيَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ بَايَعُوا مُحَمَّدًا عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ مَا بَقِينَا أَبَدًا وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُجِيبُهُمْ وَيَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ لاَ خَيْرَ إِلاَّ خَيْرُ الآخِرَهْ فَبَارِكْ فِي الأَنْصَارِ وَالْمُهَاجِرَهْ  

The Prophet ﷺ went on carrying (i.e. the earth) and saying, "Without You (O Allah!) we would have got no guidance."  

سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ ؓ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَنْقُلُ وَيَقُولُ لَوْلاَ أَنْتَ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا  

On the day (of the battle) of Al-Ahzab (i.e. clans) I saw the Prophet ﷺ carrying earth, and the earth was covering the whiteness of his ʿAbdomen. And he was saying, "Without You (O Allah!) we would have got no guidance, nor given in charity, nor prayed. So please bless us with tranquility and make firm our feet when we meet our enemies. Indeed (these) people have rebelled against (oppressed) us but never shall we yield if they try to bring affliction upon us."  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الأَحْزَابِ يَنْقُلُ التُّرَابَ وَقَدْ وَارَى التُّرَابُ بَيَاضَ بَطْنِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَوْلاَ أَنْتَ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا وَلاَ تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلاَ صَلَّيْنَا فَأَنْزِلِ السَّكِينَةَ عَلَيْنَا وَثَبِّتِ الأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لاَقَيْنَا إِنَّ الأُلَى قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا إِذَا أَرَادُوا فِتْنَةً أَبَيْنَا  

We returned from the Ghazwa of Tabuk along with the Prophet. (See Hadith No. 92 below) .  

رَجَعْنَا مِنْ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

While the Prophet ﷺ was in a Ghazwa he said, "Some people have remained behind us in Medina and we never crossed a mountain path or a valley, but they were with us (i.e. sharing the reward with us), as they have been held back by a (legal) excuse. "  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ فِي غَزَاةٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَقْوَامًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ خَلْفَنَا مَا سَلَكْنَا شِعْبًا وَلاَ وَادِيًا إِلاَّ وَهُمْ مَعَنَا فِيهِ حَبَسَهُمُ الْعُذْرُ وَقَالَ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَوَّلُ أَصَحُّ  

I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Indeed, anyone who fasts for one day for Allah's Pleasure, Allah will keep his face away from the (Hell) fire for (a distance covered by a journey of) seventy years."  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ صَامَ يَوْمًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بَعَّدَ اللَّهُ وَجْهَهُ عَنِ النَّارِ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا۔»  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever spends two things in Allah's Cause, will be called by all the gate-keepers of Paradise who will be saying, 'O so-and-so! Come here.' " Abu Bakr said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Such persons will never be destroyed." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I hope you will be one of them."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ دَعَاهُ خَزَنَةُ الْجَنَّةِ كُلُّ خَزَنَةِ باب أَىْ فُلُ هَلُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَاكَ الَّذِي لاَ تَوَى عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي لأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ ascended the pulpit and said, "Nothing worries me as to what will happen to you after me, except the temptation of worldly blessings which will be conferred on you." Then he mentioned the worldly pleasures. He started with the one (i.e. the blessings) and took up the other (i.e. the pleasures). A man got up saying, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Can the good bring about evil?" The Prophet ﷺ remained silent and we thought that he was being inspired divinely, so all the people kept silent with awe. Then the Prophet ﷺ wiped the sweat off his face and asked, "Where is the present questioner?" "Do you think wealth is good?" he repeated thrice, adding, "No doubt, good produces nothing but good. Indeed it is like what grows on the banks of a stream which either kills or nearly kills the grazing animals because of gluttony except the vegetation-eating animal which eats till both its flanks are full (i.e. till it gets satisfied) and then stands in the sun and defecates and urinates and again starts grazing. This worldly property is sweet vegetation. How excellent the wealth of the Muslim is, if it is collected through legal means and is spent in Allah's Cause and on orphans, poor people and travelers. But he who does not take it legally is like an eater who is never satisfied and his wealth will be a witness against him on the Day of Resurrection."  

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ؓ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا أَخْشَى عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِي مَا يُفْتَحُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ بَرَكَاتِ الأَرْضِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ زَهْرَةَ الدُّنْيَا فَبَدَأَ بِإِحْدَاهُمَا وَثَنَّى بِالأُخْرَى فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوَيَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قُلْنَا يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ وَسَكَتَ النَّاسُ كَأَنَّ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمِ الطَّيْرَ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ مَسَحَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ الرُّحَضَاءَ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ آنِفًا أَوَخَيْرٌ هُوَ ثَلاَثًا إِنَّ الْخَيْرَ لاَ يَأْتِي إِلاَّ بِالْخَيْرِ وَإِنَّهُ كُلُّ مَا يُنْبِتُ الرَّبِيعُ مَا يَقْتُلُ حَبَطًا أَوْ يُلِمُّ كُلَّمَا أَكَلَتْ حَتَّى إِذَا امْتَلأَتْ خَاصِرَتَاهَا اسْتَقْبَلَتِ الشَّمْسَ فَثَلَطَتْ وَبَالَتْ ثُمَّ رَتَعَتْ وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ وَنِعْمَ صَاحِبُ الْمُسْلِمِ لِمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِحَقِّهِ فَجَعَلَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالْيَتَامَى وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْخُذْهُ بِحَقِّهِ فَهْوَ كَالآكِلِ الَّذِي لاَ يَشْبَعُ وَيَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ شَهِيدًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, " He who pre pares a Ghazi going in Allah's Cause is given a reward equal to that of) a Ghazi; and he who looks after properly the dependents of a Ghazi going in Allah's Cause is (given a reward equal to that of) Ghazi."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ جَهَّزَ غَازِيًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ غَزَا وَمَنْ خَلَفَ غَازِيًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِخَيْرٍ فَقَدْ غَزَا  

The Prophet ﷺ used not to enter any house in Medina except the house of Um Sulaim besides those of his wives when he was asked why, he said, "I take pity on her as her brother was killed in my company. "  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ غَيْرَ بَيْتِ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ إِلاَّ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَرْحَمُهَا قُتِلَ أَخُوهَا مَعِي۔»  

Once Musa bin Anas while describing the battle of Yamama, said, "Anas bin Malik went to Thabit bin Qais, who had lifted his clothes from his thighs and was applying Hunut to his body. Anas asked, 'O Uncle! What is holding you back (from the battle)?' He replied, 'O my nephew! I am coming just now,' and went on perfuming himself with Hunut, then he came and sat (in the row). Anas then mentioned that the people fled from the battle-field. On that Thabit said, 'Clear the way for me to fight the enemy. We would never do so (i.e. flee) in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. How bad the habits you have acquired from your enemies!"  

عَنْ وُجُوهِنَا حَتَّى نُضَارِبَ الْقَوْمَ مَا هَكَذَا كُنَّا نَفْعَلُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِئْسَ مَا عَوَّدْتُمْ أَقْرَانَكُمْ رَوَاهُ حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Who will bring me the information about the enemy on the day (of the battle) of Al-Ahzab (i.e. Clans)?" Az-Zubair said, "I will." The Prophet ﷺ said again, "Who will bring me the information about the enemy?" Az-Zubair said again, "I will." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Every prophet had a disciple and my disciple is Az-Zubair. "  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ يَأْتِينِي بِخَبَرِ الْقَوْمِ يَوْمَ الأَحْزَابِ قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ أَنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ يَأْتِينِي بِخَبَرِ الْقَوْمِ قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ أَنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ حَوَارِيًّا وَحَوَارِيَّ الزُّبَيْرُ  

When the Prophet ﷺ called the people (Sadqa, a sub-narrator, said, 'Most likely that happened on the day of Al-Khandaq) Az-Zubair responded to the call (i.e. to act as a scout). The Prophet) called the people again and Az-Zubair responded to the call. The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Every prophet had a disciple and my disciple is Zubair bin Al-ʿAwwam."  

نَدَبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ النَّاسَ قَالَ صَدَقَةُ أَظُنُّهُ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ فَانْتَدَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ ثُمَّ نَدَبَ فَانْتَدَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ ثُمَّ نَدَبَ النَّاسَ فَانْتَدَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ حَوَارِيًّا وَإِنَّ حَوَارِيَّ الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ  

On my departure from the Prophet ﷺ he said to me and to a friend of mine, "You two, pronounce the Adhan and the Iqama for the prayer and let the elder of you lead the prayer."  

انْصَرَفْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَنَا أَنَا وَصَاحِبٌ لِي أَذِّنَا وَأَقِيمَا وَلْيَؤُمَّكُمَا أَكْبَرُكُمَا  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Good will remain (as a permanent quality) in the foreheads of horses till the Day of Resurrection."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْخَيْلُ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Good will remain (as a permanent quality) in the foreheads of horses till the Day of Resurrection."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْخَيْلُ مَعْقُودٌ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ ﷺ said, "There is a blessing in the fore-heads of horses."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْبَرَكَةُ فِي نَوَاصِي الْخَيْلِ۔»  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Good will remain (as a permanent quality) in the foreheads of horses (for Jihad) till the Day of Resurrection, for they bring about either a reward (in the Hereafter) or (war) booty (in this world)."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ الْخَيْلُ مَعْقُودٌ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ الأَجْرُ وَالْمَغْنَمُ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "If somebody keeps a horse in Allah's Cause motivated by his faith in Allah and his belief in His Promise, then he will be rewarded on the Day of Resurrection for what the horse has eaten or drunk and for its dung and urine."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ يَقُولُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنِ احْتَبَسَ فَرَسًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِيمَانًا بِاللَّهِ وَتَصْدِيقًا بِوَعْدِهِ فَإِنَّ شِبَعَهُ وَرِيَّهُ وَرَوْثَهُ وَبَوْلَهُ فِي مِيزَانِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ  

(from his father) Abu Qatada went out (on a journey) with Messenger of Allah ﷺ but he was left behind with some of his companions who were in the state of Ihram. He himself was not in the state of Ihram. They saw an opener before he could see it. When they saw the opener, they did not speak anything till Abu Qatada saw it. So, he rode over his horse called Al-Jarada and requested them to give him his lash, but they refused. So, he himself took it and then attacked the opener and slaughtered it. He ate of its meat and his companions ate, too, but they regretted their eating. When they met the Prophet (they asked him about it) and he asked, "Have you some of its meat (left) with you?" Abu Qatada replied, "Yes, we have its leg with us." So, the Prophet ﷺ took and ate it.  

أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَتَخَلَّفَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ مَعَ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ وَهُمْ مُحْرِمُونَ وَهْوَ غَيْرُ مُحْرِمٍ فَرَأَوْا حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرَاهُ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ تَرَكُوهُ حَتَّى رَآهُ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ فَرَكِبَ فَرَسًا لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْجَرَادَةُ فَسَأَلَهُمْ أَنْ يُنَاوِلُوهُ سَوْطَهُ فَأَبَوْا فَتَنَاوَلَهُ فَحَمَلَ فَعَقَرَهُ ثُمَّ أَكَلَ فَأَكَلُوا فَنَدِمُوا فَلَمَّا أَدْرَكُوهُ قَالَ هَلْ مَعَكُمْ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ قَالَ مَعَنَا رِجْلُهُ فَأَخَذَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَكَلَهَا  

In our garden there was a horse belonging to the Prophet ﷺ called Al-Luhaif or Al-Lakhif.  

كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي حَائِطِنَا فَرَسٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ اللُّحَيْفُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمُ اللُّخَيْفُ  

I was a companion rider of the Prophet ﷺ on a donkey called 'Ufair. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "O Muʿadh! Do you know what Allah's right on His slaves is, and what the right of His slaves on Him is?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He said, "Allah's right on His slaves is that they should worship Him (Alone) and should not worship any besides Him. And slave's right on Allah is that He should not punish him who worships none besides Him." I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Should I not inform the people of this good news?" He said, "Do not inform them of it, lest they should depend on it (absolutely).  

كُنْتُ رِدْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَلَى حِمَارٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ عُفَيْرٌ فَقَالَ يَا مُعَاذُ هَلْ تَدْرِي حَقَّ اللَّهِ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ وَمَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللَّهِ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّ حَقَّ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلاَ يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَحَقَّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ لاَ يُعَذِّبَ مَنْ لاَ يُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ أُبَشِّرُ بِهِ النَّاسَ قَالَ لاَ تُبَشِّرْهُمْ فَيَتَّكِلُوا  

Once there was a feeling of fright in Medina, so the Prophet ﷺ borrowed a horse belonging to us called Mandub (and he rode away on it). (When the Prophet ﷺ returned) he said, "I have not seen anything of fright and I found it (i.e. this horse) very fast."  

كَانَ فَزَعٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَاسْتَعَارَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَرَسًا لَنَا يُقَالُ لَهُ مَنْدُوبٌ فَقَالَ مَا رَأَيْنَا مِنْ فَزَعٍ وَإِنْ وَجَدْنَاهُ لَبَحْرًا  

I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying. "Evil omen is in three things: The horse, the woman and the house."  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّمَا الشُّؤْمُ فِي ثَلاَثَةٍ فِي الْفَرَسِ وَالْمَرْأَةِ وَالدَّارِ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said "If there is any evil omen in anything, then it is in the woman, the horse and the house."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي شَىْءٍ فَفِي الْمَرْأَةِ وَالْفَرَسِ وَالْمَسْكَنِ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, " Horses are kept for one of three purposes; for some people they are a source of reward, for some others they are a means of shelter and for some others they are a source of sins. The one for whom they are a source of reward, is he who keeps a horse for Allah's Cause (i.e. Jihad) tying it with a long tether on a meadow or in a garden with the result that whatever it eats from the area of the meadow or the garden where it is tied will be counted as good deeds for his benefit, and if it should break its rope and jump over one or two hillocks then all its dung and its foot marks will be written as good deeds for him; and if it passes by a river and drinks water from it even though he had no intention of watering it, even then he will get the reward for its drinking. As for the man for whom horses are a source of sins, he is the one who keeps a horse for the sake of pride and pretense and showing enmity for Muslims: such a horse will be a source of sins for him. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about donkeys, he replied, "Nothing has been revealed to me about them except this unique, comprehensive Verse: "Then anyone who does an atom's (or a small ant's) weight of good shall see it; And anyone who does an atom's (or a small ant's) weight of evil, shall see it.' (101.7-8)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْخَيْلُ لِثَلاَثَةٍ لِرَجُلٍ أَجْرٌ وَلِرَجُلٍ سِتْرٌ وَعَلَى رَجُلٍ وِزْرٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِي لَهُ أَجْرٌ فَرَجُلٌ رَبَطَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَأَطَالَ فِي مَرْجٍ أَوْ رَوْضَةٍ فَمَا أَصَابَتْ فِي طِيَلِهَا ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْمَرْجِ أَوِ الرَّوْضَةِ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَسَنَاتٍ وَلَوْ أَنَّهَا قَطَعَتْ طِيَلَهَا فَاسْتَنَّتْ شَرَفًا أَوْ شَرَفَيْنِ كَانَتْ أَرْوَاثُهَا وَآثَارُهَا حَسَنَاتٍ لَهُ وَلَوْ أَنَّهَا مَرَّتْ بِنَهَرٍ فَشَرِبَتْ مِنْهُ وَلَمْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يَسْقِيَهَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ حَسَنَاتٍ لَهُ وَرَجُلٌ رَبَطَهَا فَخْرًا وَرِئَاءً وَنِوَاءً لأَهْلِ الإِسْلاَمِ فَهْىَ وِزْرٌ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَسُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْحُمُرِ فَقَالَ مَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَىَّ فِيهَا إِلاَّ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ الْجَامِعَةُ الْفَاذَّةُ {فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ * وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ }  

I called on Jabir bin ʿAbdullah Al-Ansari and said to him, "Relate to me what you have heard from Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He said, "I accompanied him on one of the journeys." (Abu ʿAqil said, "I do not know whether that journey was for the purpose of Jihad or ʿUmra.") "When we were returning," Jabir continued, "the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whoever wants to return earlier to his family, should hurry up.' We set off and I was on a black red tainted camel having no defect, and the people were behind me. While I was in that state the camel stopped suddenly (because of exhaustion). On that the Prophet ﷺ said to me, 'O Jabir, wait!' Then he hit it once with his lash and it started moving on a fast pace. He then said, 'Will you sell the camel?' I replied in the affirmative when we reached Medina, and the Prophet ﷺ went to the Mosque along with his companions. I, too, went to him after tying the camel on the pavement at the Mosque gate. Then I said to him, 'This is your camel.' He came out and started examining the camel and saying, 'The camel is ours.' Then the Prophet ﷺ sent some Awaq (i.e. an amount) of gold saying, 'Give it to Jabir.' Then he asked, 'Have you taken the full price (of the camel)?' I replied in the affirmative. He said, 'Both the price and the camel are for you.' ''  

سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ سَافَرْتُ مَعَهُ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ قَالَ أَبُو عَقِيلٍ لاَ أَدْرِي غَزْوَةً أَوْ عُمْرَةً فَلَمَّا أَنْ أَقْبَلْنَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَتَعَجَّلَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَلْيُعَجِّلْ قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَأَقْبَلْنَا وَأَنَا عَلَى جَمَلٍ لِي أَرْمَكَ لَيْسَ فِيهِ شِيَةٌ وَالنَّاسُ خَلْفِي فَبَيْنَا أَنَا كَذَلِكَ إِذْ قَامَ عَلَىَّ فَقَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا جَابِرُ اسْتَمْسِكْ فَضَرَبَهُ بِسَوْطِهِ ضَرْبَةً فَوَثَبَ الْبَعِيرُ مَكَانَهُ فَقَالَ أَتَبِيعُ الْجَمَلَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ وَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْمَسْجِدَ فِي طَوَائِفِ أَصْحَابِهِ فَدَخَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَعَقَلْتُ الْجَمَلَ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْبَلاَطِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ هَذَا جَمَلُكَ فَخَرَجَ فَجَعَلَ يُطِيفُ بِالْجَمَلِ وَيَقُولُ الْجَمَلُ جَمَلُنَا فَبَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَوَاقٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَقَالَ أَعْطُوهَا جَابِرًا ثُمَّ قَالَ اسْتَوْفَيْتَ الثَّمَنَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ الثَّمَنُ وَالْجَمَلُ لَكَ  

There was a feeling of fright in Medina, so the Prophet ﷺ borrowed a horse called Mandub belonging 'to Abu Talha and mounted it. (On his return), he said, "I did not see anything of fright and I found this horse very fast."  

كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَزَعٌ فَاسْتَعَارَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَرَسًا لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَنْدُوبٌ فَرَكِبَهُ وَقَالَ مَا رَأَيْنَا مِنْ فَزَعٍ وَإِنْ وَجَدْنَاهُ لَبَحْرًا  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ fixed two shares for the horse and one share for its rider (from the war booty).  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَعَلَ لِلْفَرَسِ سَهْمَيْنِ وَلِصَاحِبِهِ سَهْمًا وَقَالَ مَالِكٌ يُسْهَمُ لِلْخَيْلِ وَالْبَرَاذِينِ مِنْهَا لِقَوْلِهِ {وَالْخَيْلَ وَالْبِغَالَ وَالْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوهَا} وَلاَ يُسْهَمُ لأَكْثَرَ مِنْ فَرَسٍ  

Somebody asked Al-Bar-a bin ʿAzib, "Did you flee deserting Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the battle of Hunain?" Al-Bara replied, "But Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not flee. The people of the Tribe of Hawazin were good archers. When we met them, we attacked them, and they fled. When the Muslims started collecting the war booty, the pagans faced us with arrows, but Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not flee. No doubt, I saw him on his white mule and Abu Sufyan was holding its reins and the Prophet ﷺ was saying, 'I am the Prophet ﷺ in truth: I am the son of ʿAbdul Muttalib.' "  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ قَالَ لَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَفِرَّ إِنَّ هَوَازِنَ كَانُوا قَوْمًا رُمَاةً وَإِنَّا لَمَّا لَقِينَاهُمْ حَمَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ فَانْهَزَمُوا فَأَقْبَلَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ عَلَى الْغَنَائِمِ وَاسْتَقْبَلُونَا بِالسِّهَامِ فَأَمَّا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَفِرَّ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ وَإِنَّهُ لَعَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ الْبَيْضَاءِ وَإِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ آخِذٌ بِلِجَامِهَا وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لاَ كَذِبْ أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ  

When the Prophet ﷺ put his feet in the stirrup and the she-camel got up carrying him he would start reciting Talbiya at the mosque of Dhul-Hulaifa.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا أَدْخَلَ رِجْلَهُ فِي الْغَرْزِ وَاسْتَوَتْ بِهِ نَاقَتُهُ قَائِمَةً أَهَلَّ مِنْ عِنْدِ مَسْجِدِ ذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ  

The Prophet ﷺ met them (i.e. the people) while he was riding an unsaddled horse with his sword slung over his shoulder.  

عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ اسْتَقْبَلَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى فَرَسٍ عُرْىٍ مَا عَلَيْهِ سَرْجٌ فِي عُنُقِهِ سَيْفٌ  

Once the people of Medina were frightened, so the Prophet ﷺ rode a horse belonging to Abu Talha and it ran slowly, or was of narrow paces. When he returned, he said, "I found your (i.e. Abu Talha's) horse very fast. After that the horse could not be surpassed in running..'  

أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَزِعُوا مَرَّةً فَرَكِبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَرَسًا لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ كَانَ يَقْطِفُ أَوْ كَانَ فِيهِ قِطَافٌ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ قَالَ وَجَدْنَا فَرَسَكُمْ هَذَا بَحْرًا فَكَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ لاَ يُجَارَى  

The Prophet ﷺ arranged for a horse race amongst the horses that had been made lean to take place between Al-Hafya'' and Thaniyat Al-Wadaʿ (i.e. names of two places) and the horses which had not been mad.? lean from Ath-Thaniyat to the mosque of Bani Zuraiq. I was also amongst those who took part in that horse race. Sufyan, a sub-narrator, said, "The distance between Al-Hafya and Thaniya Al- Wadaʿ is five or six miles; and between Thaniya and the mosque of Bani Zuraiq is one mile."  

أَجْرَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا ضُمِّرَ مِنَ الْخَيْلِ مِنَ الْحَفْيَاءِ إِلَى ثَنِيَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَأَجْرَى مَا لَمْ يُضَمَّرْ مِنَ الثَّنِيَّةِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ أَجْرَى قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ بَيْنَ الْحَفْيَاءِ إِلَى ثَنِيَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ خَمْسَةُ أَمْيَالٍ أَوْ سِتَّةٌ وَبَيْنَ ثَنِيَّةِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ مِيلٌ  

The Prophet ﷺ arranged for a horse race of the horses which had not been made lean; the area of the race was from Ath-Thaniya to the mosque of Bani Zuraiq. (The sub-narrator said, "ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar was amongst those who participated in that horse race.").  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَابَقَ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ الَّتِي لَمْ تُضَمَّرْ وَكَانَ أَمَدُهَا مِنَ الثَّنِيَّةِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ وَأَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ سَابَقَ بِهَا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ أَمَدًا غَايَةً فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمْ الْأَمَدُ  

"Messenger of Allah ﷺ arranged a horse race amongst the horses that had been made lean, letting them start from Al-Hafya' and their limit (distance of running) was up to Thaniyat-al-Wadaʿ. I asked Musa, 'What was the distance between the two places?' Musa replied, 'Six or seven miles. He arranged a race of the horses which had not been made lean sending them from Thaniyat-al-Wadaʿ, and their limit was up to the mosque of Bani Zuraiq.' I asked, 'What was the distance between those two places?' He replied 'One mile or so.' Ibn ʿUmar was amongst those who participated in that horse race."  

سَابَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ الَّتِي قَدْ أُضْمِرَتْ فَأَرْسَلَهَا مِنَ الْحَفْيَاءِ وَكَانَ أَمَدُهَا ثَنِيَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ فَقُلْتُ لِمُوسَى فَكَمْ كَانَ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ سِتَّةُ أَمْيَالٍ أَوْ سَبْعَةٌ وَسَابَقَ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ الَّتِي لَمْ تُضَمَّرْ فَأَرْسَلَهَا مِنْ ثَنِيَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَكَانَ أَمَدُهَا مَسْجِدَ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ قُلْتُ فَكَمْ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ مِيلٌ أَوْ نَحْوُهُ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ مِمَّنْ سَابَقَ فِيهَا  

The she camel of the Prophet ﷺ was called Al-Adba.  

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ؓ يَقُولُ كَانَتْ نَاقَةُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُقَالُ لَهَا الْعَضْبَاءُ  

The Prophet ﷺ had a she camel called Al Adba which could not be excelled in a race. (Humaid, a subnarrator said, "Or could hardly be excelled.") Once a bedouin came riding a camel below six years of age which surpasses it (i.e. Al-ʿAdba') in the race. The Muslims felt it so much that the Prophet ﷺ noticed their distress. He then said, "It is Allah's Law that He brings down whatever rises high in the world."  

كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَاقَةٌ تُسَمَّى الْعَضْبَاءَ لاَ تُسْبَقُ قَالَ حُمَيْدٌ أَوْ لاَ تَكَادُ تُسْبَقُ فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَى قَعُودٍ فَسَبَقَهَا فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّى عَرَفَهُ فَقَالَ حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ لاَ يَرْتَفِعَ شَىْءٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ وَضَعَهُ طَوَّلَهُ مُوسَى عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

The Prophet ﷺ did not leave anything behind him after his death except a white mule, his arms and a piece of land which he left to be given in charity.  

مَا تَرَكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلاَّ بَغْلَتَهُ الْبَيْضَاءَ وَسِلاَحَهُ وَأَرْضًا تَرَكَهَا صَدَقَةً  

that a man asked him. "O Abu 'ʿUmara! Did you flee on the day (of the battle) of Hunain?" He replied, "No, by Allah, the Prophet ﷺ did not flee but the hasty people fled and the people of the Tribe of Hawazin attacked them with arrows, while the Prophet ﷺ was riding his white mule and Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith was holding its reins, and the Prophet ﷺ was saying, 'I am the Prophet ﷺ in truth, I am the son of ʿAbdul Muttalib.' "  

لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا عُمَارَةَ وَلَّيْتُمْ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ قَالَ لاَ وَاللَّهِ مَا وَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَلَكِنْ وَلَّى سَرَعَانُ النَّاسِ فَلَقِيَهُمْ هَوَازِنُ بِالنَّبْلِ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ الْبَيْضَاءِ وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ آخِذٌ بِلِجَامِهَا وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لاَ كَذِبْ أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ  

the mother of the faithful believers, I requested the Prophet ﷺ permit me to participate in Jihad, but he said, "Your Jihad is the performance of Hajj."  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؓ قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي الْجِهَادِ فَقَالَ جِهَادُكُنَّ الْحَجُّ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بِهَذَا  

the mother of the faithful believers: The Prophet ﷺ was asked by his wives about the Jihad and he replied, "The best Jihad (for you) is (the performance of) Hajj."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ سَأَلَهُ نِسَاؤُهُ عَنِ الْجِهَادِ فَقَالَ نِعْمَ الْجِهَادُ الْحَجُّ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to the daughter of Milhan and reclined there (and slept) and then (woke up) smiling. She asked, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! What makes you smile?" He replied, (I dreamt that) some people amongst my followers were sailing on the green sea in Allah's Cause, resembling kings on thrones." She said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Invoke Allah to make me one of them." He said, "O Allah! Let her be one of them." Then he (slept again and woke up and) smiled. She asked him the same question and he gave the same reply. She said, "Invoke Allah to make me one of them." He replied, ''You will be amongst the first group of them; you will not be amongst the last." Later on she married 'Ubada bin As-Samit and then she sailed on the sea with bint Qaraza, Mu'awiya's wife (for Jihad). On her return, she mounted her riding animal, which threw her down breaking her neck, and she died on falling down.  

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ؓ يَقُولُ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى ابْنَةِ مِلْحَانَ فَاتَّكَأَ عِنْدَهَا ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ فَقَالَتْ لِمَ تَضْحَكُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَرْكَبُونَ الْبَحْرَ الأَخْضَرَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَثَلُهُمْ مَثَلُ الْمُلُوكِ عَلَى الأَسِرَّةِ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَضَحِكَ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ مِثْلَ أَوْ مِمَّ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهَا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ قَالَ أَنْتِ مِنَ الأَوَّلِينَ وَلَسْتِ مِنَ الآخِرِينَ قَالَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَتَزَوَّجَتْ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ فَرَكِبَتِ الْبَحْرَ مَعَ بِنْتِ قَرَظَةَ فَلَمَّا قَفَلَتْ رَكِبَتْ دَابَّتَهَا فَوَقَصَتْ بِهَا فَسَقَطَتْ عَنْهَا فَمَاتَتْ  

Whenever the Prophet ﷺ intended to proceed on a journey, he used to draw lots amongst his wives and would take the one upon whom the lot fell. Once, before setting out for Jihad, he drew lots amongst us and the lot came to me; so I went with the Prophet; and that happened after the revelation of the Verse Hijab (i.e. veiling).  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَ نِسَائِهِ فَأَيَّتُهُنَّ يَخْرُجُ سَهْمُهَا خَرَجَ بِهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَنَا فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا فَخَرَجَ فِيهَا سَهْمِي فَخَرَجْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَعْدَ مَا أُنْزِلَ الْحِجَابُ  

On the day (of the battle) of Uhad when (some) people retreated and left the Prophet, I saw ʿAisha bint Abu Bakr and Um Sulaim, with their robes tucked up so that the bangles around their ankles were visible hurrying with their water skins (in another narration it is said, "carrying the water skins on their backs"). Then they would pour the water in the mouths of the people, and return to fill the water skins again and came back again to pour water in the mouths of the people.  

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ انْهَزَمَ النَّاسُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَأُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَمُشَمِّرَتَانِ أَرَى خَدَمَ سُوقِهِمَا تَنْقُزَانِ الْقِرَبَ وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ تَنْقُلاَنِ الْقِرَبَ عَلَى مُتُونِهِمَا ثُمَّ تُفْرِغَانِهِ فِي أَفْوَاهِ الْقَوْمِ ثُمَّ تَرْجِعَانِ فَتَمْلآنِهَا ثُمَّ تَجِيئَانِ فَتُفْرِغَانِهَا فِي أَفْوَاهِ الْقَوْمِ  

ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab distributed some garments amongst the women of Medina. One good garment remained, and one of those present with him said, "O chief of the believers! Give this garment to your wife, the (grand) daughter of Messenger of Allah ﷺ." They meant Um Kulthum, the daughter of ʿAli. ʿUmar said, Um Salit has more right (to have it)." Um Salit was amongst those Ansari women who had given the pledge of allegiance to Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' ʿUmar said, "She (i.e. Um Salit) used to carry the water skins for us on the day of Uhud."  

لَهُ بَعْضُ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَعْطِ هَذَا ابْنَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الَّتِي عِنْدَكَ يُرِيدُونَ أُمَّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتَ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أُمُّ سَلِيطٍ أَحَقُّ وَأُمُّ سَلِيطٍ مِنْ نِسَاءِ الأَنْصَارِ مِمَّنْ بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ عُمَرُ فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَزْفِرُ لَنَا الْقِرَبَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ تَزْفِرُ تَخِيطُ  

We were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ providing the wounded with water and treating them and bringing the killed to Medina (from the battle field) .  

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَسْقِي وَنُدَاوِي الْجَرْحَى وَنَرُدُّ الْقَتْلَى إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ  

We used to take part in holy battles with the Prophet ﷺ by providing the people with water and serving them and bringing the killed and the wounded back to Medina.  

كُنَّا نَغْزُو مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَنَسْقِي الْقَوْمَ وَنَخْدُمُهُمْ وَنَرُدُّ الْجَرْحَى وَالْقَتْلَى إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ  

Abu 'Amir was hit with an arrow in his knee, so I went to him and he asked me to remove the arrow. When I removed it, the water started dribbling from it. Then I went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him about it. He said, "O Allah! Forgive ʿUbaid Abu 'Amir."  

رُمِيَ أَبُو عَامِرٍ فِي رُكْبَتِهِ فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ انْزِعْ هَذَا السَّهْمَ فَنَزَعْتُهُ فَنَزَا مِنْهُ الْمَاءُ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِعُبَيْدٍ أَبِي عَامِرٍ  

The Prophet ﷺ was vigilant one night and when he reached Medina, he said, "Would that a pious man from my companions guard me tonight!" Suddenly we heard the clatter of arms. He said, "Who is that? " He (The new comer) replied, " I am Saʿd bin Abi Waqqas and have come to guard you." So, the Prophet ﷺ slept (that night).  

سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ ؓ تَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَهِرَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ قَالَ لَيْتَ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَصْحَابِي صَالِحًا يَحْرُسُنِي اللَّيْلَةَ إِذْ سَمِعْنَا صَوْتَ سِلاَحٍ فَقَالَ مَنْ هَذَا فَقَالَ أَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ جِئْتُ لأَحْرُسَكَ وَنَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ
