We went out with Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the year of Al-Hudaibiya. One night it rained and Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the Fajr prayer and (after finishing it), turned to us and said, "Do you know what your Lord has said?" We replied, "Allah and His Apostle know it better." He said, "Allah said:-- "(Some of) My slaves got up believing in Me, And (some of them) disbelieving in Me. The one who said: We have been given Rain through Allah's Mercy and Allah's Blessing and Allah's Bounty, then he is a believer in Me, and is a disbeliever in the star. And whoever said: We have been given rain because of such and- such star, then he is a believer in the star, and is a disbeliever in Me."  

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَامَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَأَصَابَنَا مَطَرٌ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَصَلَّى لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الصُّبْحَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَقَالَ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَصْبَحَ مِنْ عِبَادِي مُؤْمِنٌ بِي وَكَافِرٌ بِي فَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ مُطِرْنَا بِرَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ وَبِرِزْقِ اللَّهِ وَبِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ فَهْوَ مُؤْمِنٌ بِي كَافِرٌ بِالْكَوْكَبِ وَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ مُطِرْنَا بِنَجْمِ كَذَا فَهْوَ مُؤْمِنٌ بِالْكَوْكَبِ كَافِرٌ بِي  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed four ʿUmras, all in the month of Dhul-Qa'da, except the one which he performed with his Hajj (i.e. in Dhul-Hijja). He performed one ʿUmra from Al-Hudaibiya in Dhul- Qa'da, another ʿUmra in the following year in Dhul Qa'da a third from Al-Jirana where he distributed the war booty of Hunain, in Dhul Qa'da, and the fourth ʿUmra he performed was with his Hajj.  

أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ اعْتَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعَ عُمَرٍ كُلُّهُنَّ فِي ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ إِلاَّ الَّتِي كَانَتْ مَعَ حَجَّتِهِ عُمْرَةً مِنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فِي ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ وَعُمْرَةً مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ فِي ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ وَعُمْرَةً مِنَ الْجِعْرَانَةِ حَيْثُ قَسَمَ غَنَائِمَ حُنَيْنٍ فِي ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ وَعُمْرَةً مَعَ حَجَّتِهِ  

We set out with the Prophet ﷺ in the year of Al-Hudaibiya, and all his companions assumed the state of Ihram but I did not.  

قَالَ انْطَلَقْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَامَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَأَحْرَمَ أَصْحَابُهُ وَلَمْ أُحْرِمْ  

Do you (people) consider the conquest of Mecca, the Victory (referred to in the Qur'an 48:1). Was the conquest of Mecca a victory? We really consider that the actual Victory was the Ar-Ridwan Pledge of allegiance which we gave on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (to the Prophet) . On the day of Al-Hudaibiya we were fourteen hundred men along with the Prophet ﷺ Al-Hudaibiya was a well, the water of which we used up leaving not a single drop of water in it. When the Prophet ﷺ was informed of that, he came and sat on its edge. Then he asked for a utensil of water, performed ablution from it, rinsed (his mouth), invoked (Allah), and poured the remaining water into the well. We stayed there for a while and then the well brought forth what we required of water for ourselves and our riding animals.  

تَعُدُّونَ أَنْتُمُ الْفَتْحَ فَتْحَ مَكَّةَ وَقَدْ كَانَ فَتْحُ مَكَّةَ فَتْحًا وَنَحْنُ نَعُدُّ الْفَتْحَ بَيْعَةَ الرُّضْوَانِ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ مِائَةً وَالْحُدَيْبِيَةُ بِئْرٌ فَنَزَحْنَاهَا فَلَمْ نَتْرُكْ فِيهَا قَطْرَةً فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَتَاهَا فَجَلَسَ عَلَى شَفِيرِهَا ثُمَّ دَعَا بِإِنَاءٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَدَعَا ثُمَّ صَبَّهُ فِيهَا فَتَرَكْنَاهَا غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ ثُمَّ إِنَّهَا أَصْدَرَتْنَا مَا شِئْنَا نَحْنُ وَرِكَابَنَا  

That they were in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Al-Hudaibiya and their number was 1400 or more. They camped at a well and drew its water till it was dried. When they informed Allah's Apostle of that, he came and sat over its edge and said, "Bring me a bucket of its water." When it was brought, he spat and invoked (Allah) and said, "Leave it for a while." Then they quenched their thirst and watered their riding animals (from that well) till they departed.  

أَنْبَأَنَا الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ ؓ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ أَلْفًا وَأَرْبَعَمِائَةٍ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ فَنَزَلُوا عَلَى بِئْرٍ فَنَزَحُوهَا فَأَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَتَى الْبِئْرَ وَقَعَدَ عَلَى شَفِيرِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ ائْتُونِي بِدَلْوٍ مِنْ مَائِهَا فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَبَصَقَ فَدَعَا ثُمَّ قَالَ دَعُوهَا سَاعَةً فَأَرْوَوْا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَرِكَابَهُمْ حَتَّى ارْتَحَلُوا  

Jabir said "On the day of Al-Hudaibiya, the people felt thirsty and Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a utensil containing water. He performer ablution from it and then the people came towards him. Allah's Apostle said, 'What is wrong with you?' The people said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We haven't got any water to perform ablution with or to drink, except what you have in your utensil.' So the Prophet ﷺ put his hand in the utensil and the water started spouting out between his fingers like springs. So we drank and performed ablution." I said to Jabir, "What was your number on that day?" He replied, "Even if we had been one hundred thousand, that water would have been sufficient for us. Anyhow, we were 1500.'  

عَطِشَ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ رَكْوَةٌ فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ النَّاسُ نَحْوَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا لَكُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا مَاءٌ نَتَوَضَّأُ بِهِ وَلاَ نَشْرَبُ إِلاَّ مَا فِي رَكْوَتِكَ قَالَ فَوَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ فِي الرَّكْوَةِ فَجَعَلَ الْمَاءُ يَفُورُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِهِ كَأَمْثَالِ الْعُيُونِ قَالَ فَشَرِبْنَا وَتَوَضَّأْنَا فَقُلْتُ لِجَابِرٍ كَمْ كُنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ لَوْ كُنَّا مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ لَكَفَانَا كُنَّا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مِائَةً  

I said to Saʿid bin Al-Musaiyab, "I have been informed that Jabir bin ʿAbdullah said that the number (of Al-Hudaibiya Muslim warriors) was 1400." Saʿid said to me, "Jabir narrated to me that they were 1500 who gave the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet ﷺ on the day of Al-Hudaibiya.'  

حَدَّثَنِي جَابِرٌ كَانُوا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مِائَةً الَّذِينَ بَايَعُوا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ  

On the day of Al-Hudaibiya, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us' "You are the best people on the earth!" We were 1400 then. If I could see now, I would have shown you the place of the Tree (beneath which we gave the Pledge of Allegiance)." Salim said, "Our number was 1400."  

لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ أَنْتُمْ خَيْرُ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ وَكُنَّا أَلْفًا وَأَرْبَعَمِائَةٍ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ أُبْصِرُ الْيَوْمَ لأَرَيْتُكُمْ مَكَانَ الشَّجَرَةِ  

ʿAbdullah bin Abi ʿAufa said, "The people (who gave the Pledge of allegiance) under the Tree numbered 1300 and the number of Bani Aslam was 1/8 of the Emigrants."  

حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ  

Who was among those (who had given the Pledge of allegiance) under the Tree: Pious people will die in succession, and there will remain the dregs of society who will be like the useless residues of dates and barley and Allah will pay no attention to them.  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مِرْدَاسًا الأَسْلَمِيَّ يَقُولُ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الشَّجَرَةِ يُقْبَضُ الصَّالِحُونَ الأَوَّلُ فَالأَوَّلُ وَتَبْقَى حُفَالَةٌ كَحُفَالَةِ التَّمْرِ وَالشَّعِيرِ لاَ يَعْبَأُ اللَّهُ بِهِمْ شَيْئًا  

The Prophet ﷺ went out in the company of 1300 to 1500 of his companions in the year of Al-Hudaibiya, and when they reached Dhul-Hulaifa, he garlanded and marked his Hadi and assumed the state of Ihram.  

عَنْ مَرْوَانَ وَالْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ قَالاَ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَامَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فِي بِضْعَ عَشْرَةَ مِائَةً مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ قَلَّدَ الْهَدْىَ وَأَشْعَرَ وَأَحْرَمَ مِنْهَا لاَ أُحْصِي كَمْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ سُفْيَانَ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لاَ أَحْفَظُ مِنَ الزُّهْرِيِّ الإِشْعَارَ وَالتَّقْلِيدَ فَلاَ أَدْرِي يَعْنِي مَوْضِعَ الإِشْعَارِ وَالتَّقْلِيدِ أَوِ الْحَدِيثَ كُلَّهُ  

That Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw him with the lice falling (from his head) on his face. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Are your lice troubling you? Kaʿb said, "Yes." Messenger of Allah ﷺ thus ordered him to shave his head while he was at Al-Hudaibiya. Up to then there was no indication that all of them would finish their state of Ihram and they hoped that they would enter Mecca. Then the order of Al-Fidya was revealed, so Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered Kaʿb to feed six poor persons with one Faraq of food or slaughter a sheep or fast for three days.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَآهُ وَقَمْلُهُ يَسْقُطُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَحْلِقَ وَهْوَ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ لَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يَحِلُّونَ بِهَا وَهُمْ عَلَى طَمَعٍ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا مَكَّةَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ الْفِدْيَةَ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُطْعِمَ فَرَقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ أَوْ يُهْدِيَ شَاةً أَوْ يَصُومَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ  

Once I went with ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab to the market. A young woman followed ʿUmar and said, "O chief of the believers! My husband has died, leaving little children. By Allah, they have not even a sheep's trotter to cook; they have no farms or animals. I am afraid that they may die because of hunger, and I am the daughter of Khufaf bin Ima Al-Ghafari, and my father witnessed the Pledge of allegiance) of Al-Hudaibiya with the Prophet.' ʿUmar stopped and did not proceed, and said, "I welcome my near relative." Then he went towards a strong camel which was tied in the house, and carried on to it, two sacks he had loaded with food grains and put between them money and clothes and gave her its rope to hold and said, "Lead it, and this provision will not finish till Allah gives you a good supply." A man said, "O chief of the believers! You have given her too much." "ʿUmar said disapprovingly. "May your mother be bereaved of you! By Allah, I have seen her father and brother besieging a fort for a long time and conquering it, and then we were discussing what their shares they would have from that war booty."  

يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ هَلَكَ زَوْجِي وَتَرَكَ صِبْيَةً صِغَارًا وَاللَّهِ مَا يُنْضِجُونَ كُرَاعًا وَلاَ لَهُمْ زَرْعٌ وَلاَ ضَرْعٌ وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَأْكُلَهُمُ الضَّبُعُ وَأَنَا بِنْتُ خُفَافِ بْنِ إِيمَاءَ الْغِفَارِيِّ وَقَدْ شَهِدَ أَبِي الْحُدَيْبِيَةَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَوَقَفَ مَعَهَا عُمَرُ وَلَمْ يَمْضِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَرْحَبًا بِنَسَبٍ قَرِيبٍ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى بَعِيرٍ ظَهِيرٍ كَانَ مَرْبُوطًا فِي الدَّارِ فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِ غِرَارَتَيْنِ مَلأَهُمَا طَعَامًا وَحَمَلَ بَيْنَهُمَا نَفَقَةً وَثِيَابًا ثُمَّ نَاوَلَهَا بِخِطَامِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اقْتَادِيهِ فَلَنْ يَفْنَى حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكُمُ اللَّهُ بِخَيْرٍ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَكْثَرْتَ لَهَا قَالَ عُمَرُ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَرَى أَبَا هَذِهِ وَأَخَاهَا قَدْ حَاصَرَا حِصْنًا زَمَانًا فَافْتَتَحَاهُ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْنَا نَسْتَفِيءُ سُهْمَانَهُمَا فِيهِ  

That his father said, "I saw the Tree (of the Ar-Ridwan Pledge of allegiance and when I returned to it later, I was not able to recognize it. (The sub--narrator MahmiJd said, Al-Musaiyab said, 'Then; forgot it (i.e., the Tree).)"  

لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ الشَّجَرَةَ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهَا بَعْدُ فَلَمْ أَعْرِفْهَا قَالَ مَحْمُودٌ ثُمَّ أُنْسِيتُهَا بَعْدُ  

When I set out for Hajj, I passed by some people offering a prayer, I asked, "What is this mosque?" They said, "This is the Tree where Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the Ar-Ridwan Pledge of allegiance. Then I went to Saʿid bin Musaiyab and informed him about it. Saʿid said, "My father said that he was amongst those who had given the Pledge of allegiance to Messenger of Allah ﷺ beneath the Tree. He (i.e. my father) said, "When we set out the following year, we forgot the Tree and were unable to recognize it. "Then Saʿid said (perhaps ironically) "The companions of the Prophet ﷺ could not recognize it; nevertheless, you do recognize it; therefore you have a better knowledge."  

انْطَلَقْتُ حَاجًّا فَمَرَرْتُ بِقَوْمٍ يُصَلُّونَ قُلْتُ مَا هَذَا الْمَسْجِدُ قَالُوا هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةُ حَيْثُ بَايَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْعَةَ الرُّضْوَانِ فَأَتَيْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِيمَنْ بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا خَرَجْنَا مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ نَسِينَاهَا فَلَمْ نَقْدِرْ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ لَمْ يَعْلَمُوهَا وَعَلِمْتُمُوهَا أَنْتُمْ فَأَنْتُمْ أَعْلَمُ  

That his father was amongst those who had given the Pledge of allegiance (to the Prophet ﷺ ) beneath the Tree, and the next year when they went towards the Tree, they were not able to recognize it.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِمَّنْ بَايَعَ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ فَرَجَعْنَا إِلَيْهَا الْعَامَ الْمُقْبِلَ فَعَمِيَتْ عَلَيْنَا  

(The tree where the Ridwan Pledge of allegiance was taken by the Prophet) was mentioned before Saʿid bin Al-Musaiyab. On that he smiled and said, "My father informed me (about it) and he had witnessed it (i.e. the Pledge) ."  

أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي وَكَانَ شَهِدَهَا  

(Who was one of those who had given the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet ﷺ beneath the Tree) When the people brought Sadaqa (i.e. rakʿat) to the Prophet ﷺ he used to say, "O Allah! Bless them with your Mercy." Once my father came with his Sadaqa to him whereupon he (i.e. the Prophet) said. "O Allah! Bless the family of Abu ʿAufa."  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أَتَاهُ قَوْمٌ بِصَدَقَةٍ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَتَاهُ أَبِي بِصَدَقَتِهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى آلِ أَبِي أَوْفَى  

When it was the day (of the battle) of Al-Harra the people were giving Pledge of allegiance to ʿAbdullah bin Hanzala. Ibn Zaid said, "For what are the people giving Pledge of allegiance to ʿAbdullah bin Hanzala?" It was said to him, "For death." Ibn Zaid said, "I will never give the Pledge of allegiance for that to anybody else after Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Ibn Zaid was one of those who had witnessed the day of Al-Hudaibiya with the Prophet.  

لاَ أُبَايِعُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَحَدًا بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ شَهِدَ مَعَهُ الْحُدَيْبِيَةَ  

My father who was amongst those who had given the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet ﷺ beneath the Tree, said to me, "We used to offer the Jumua prayer with the Prophet ﷺ and then depart at a time when the walls had no shade for us to take shelter in."  

كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْجُمُعَةَ ثُمَّ نَنْصَرِفُ وَلَيْسَ لِلْحِيطَانِ ظِلٌّ نَسْتَظِلُّ فِيهِ  

I said to Salama bin Al-Akwaʿ, "For what did you give the Pledge of allegiance to Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Al-Hudaibiya?" He replied, "For death (in the Cause of Islam.).  

قُلْتُ لِسَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ عَلَى أَىِّ شَىْءٍ بَايَعْتُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ قَالَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ  

I met Al-Bara bin ʿAzib and said (to him). "May you live prosperously! You enjoyed the company of the Prophet ﷺ and gave him the Pledge of allegiance (of Al-Hudaibiya) under the Tree." On that, Al- Bara' said, "O my nephew! You do not know what we have done after him (i.e. his death).  

لَقِيتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ ؓ فَقُلْتُ طُوبَى لَكَ صَحِبْتَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَبَايَعْتَهُ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي إِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثْنَا بَعْدَهُ  

that Thabit bin Ad-Dahhak had informed him that he was one of those who had given the Pledge of allegiance (of Al-Hudaibiya) beneath the Tree.  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ بَايَعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ  

regarding Allah's Statement: "Verily! We have granted you (O, Muhammad) Manifest victory." (48.1) It refers to the Al-Hudaibiya Pledge. And the companions of the Prophet ﷺ said (to the Prophet), "Congratulations and happiness for you; but what reward shall we get?" So Allah revealed:-- "That He may admit the believing men and women to gardens beneath which rivers flow." (48.5)  

أَصْحَابُهُ هَنِيئًا مَرِيئًا فَمَا لَنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {لِيُدْخِلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ جَنَّاتٍ} قَالَ شُعْبَةُ فَقَدِمْتُ الْكُوفَةَ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا كُلِّهِ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَمَّا {إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ} فَعَنْ أَنَسٍ وَأَمَّا هَنِيئًا مَرِيئًا فَعَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ  

(who was one of those who had witnessed (the Pledge of allegiance beneath) the Tree) While I was making fire beneath the cooking pots containing donkey's meat, the announcer of Messenger of Allah ﷺ announced, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbids you to eat donkey's meat."  

إِنِّي لأُوقِدُ تَحْتَ الْقِدْرِ بِلُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ إِذْ نَادَى مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ  

The same narration was told by Majzaa from a man called Uhban bin Aus who was one of those who had witnessed (the Pledge of allegiance beneath) the Tree., and who had some trouble in his knee so that while doing prostrations, he used to put a pillow underneath his knee.  

عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الشَّجَرَةِ اسْمُهُ أُهْبَانُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ وَكَانَ اشْتَكَى رُكْبَتَهُ وَكَانَ إِذَا سَجَدَ جَعَلَ تَحْتَ رُكْبَتِهِ وِسَادَةً  

who was one of those who witnessed (the Pledge of allegiance beneath) the Tree: Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions were given Sawiq and they chewed it.  

عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الشَّجَرَةِ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ أُتُوا بِسَوِيقٍ فَلاَكُوهُ  

I asked Aidh bin ʿAmr, who was one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ one of those (who gave the allegiance to the Prophet ﷺ the Tree: "Can the witr prayer be repeated (in one night)?" He said, "If you have offered it in the first part of the night, you should not repeat it in the last part 'of the night." (See Fath-ul-Bari page 458 Vol 8th).  

سَأَلْتُ عَائِذَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو ؓ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الشَّجَرَةِ هَلْ يُنْقَضُ الْوِتْرُ قَالَ إِذَا أَوْتَرْتَ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ فَلاَ تُوتِرْ مِنْ آخِرِهِ  

My father said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ was proceeding at night on one of his journeys and ʿUmar bin Al- Khattab was going along with him. ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab asked him (about something) but Allah's Apostle did not answer him. ʿUmar asked him again, but he did not answer him. He asked him again (for the third time) but he did not answer him. On that ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab addressed himself saying, "May your mother be bereaved of you, O ʿUmar, for you have asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ thrice, yet he has not answered you." ʿUmar said, "Then I made my camel run fast and took it in front of the other Muslims, and I was afraid that something might be revealed in my connection. I had hardly waited for a moment when I heard somebody calling me. I said, 'I was afraid that something might have been revealed about me.' Then I came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and greeted him. He (i.e. the Prophet) said, 'Tonight there has been revealed to me, a Sura which is dearer to me than (all the world) on which the sun rises,' and then he recited: 'Verily! We have granted you (O Muhammad) A manifest victory." (48.1)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَسِيرُ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ وَعُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَسِيرُ مَعَهُ لَيْلاً فَسَأَلَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ شَىْءٍ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ وَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا عُمَرُ نَزَرْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ لاَ يُجِيبُكَ قَالَ عُمَرُ فَحَرَّكْتُ بَعِيرِي ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمْتُ أَمَامَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ فِيَّ قُرْآنٌ فَمَا نَشِبْتُ أَنْ سَمِعْتُ صَارِخًا يَصْرُخُ بِي قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ نَزَلَ فِيَّ قُرْآنٌ وَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَىَّ اللَّيْلَةَ سُورَةٌ لَهِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُبِينًا}  

(one of them said more than his friend): The Prophet ﷺ set out in the company of more than onethousand of his companions in the year of Al-Hudaibiya, and when he reached Dhul-Hulaifa, he garlanded his Hadi (i.e. sacrificing animal), assumed the state of Ihram for ʿUmra from that place and sent a spy of his from Khuzi'a (tribe). The Prophet ﷺ proceeded on till he reached (a village called) Ghadir-al-Ashtat. There his spy came and said, "The Quraish (infidels) have collected a great number of people against you, and they have collected against you the Ethiopians, and they will fight with you, and will stop you from entering the Kaʿba and prevent you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "O people! Give me your opinion. Do you recommend that I should destroy the families and offspring of those who want to stop us from the Kaʿba? If they should come to us (for peace) then Allah will destroy a spy from the pagans, or otherwise we will leave them in a miserable state." On that Abu Bakr said, "O Allah Apostle! You have come with the intention of visiting this House (i.e. Kaʿba) and you do not want to kill or fight anybody. So proceed to it, and whoever should stop us from it, we will fight him." On that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Proceed on, in the Name of Allah !"  

سَمِعْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ حِينَ حَدَّثَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ حَفِظْتُ بَعْضَهُ وَثَبَّتَنِي مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ وَمَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ يَزِيدُ أَحَدُهُمَا عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ قَالاَ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَامَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فِي بِضْعَ عَشْرَةَ مِائَةً مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَلَمَّا أَتَى ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ قَلَّدَ الْهَدْىَ وَأَشْعَرَهُ وَأَحْرَمَ مِنْهَا بِعُمْرَةٍ وَبَعَثَ عَيْنًا لَهُ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ وَسَارَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى كَانَ بِغَدِيرِ الأَشْطَاطِ أَتَاهُ عَيْنُهُ قَالَ إِنَّ قُرَيْشًا جَمَعُوا لَكَ جُمُوعًا وَقَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكَ الأَحَابِيشَ وَهُمْ مُقَاتِلُوكَ وَصَادُّوكَ عَنِ الْبَيْتِ وَمَانِعُوكَ فَقَالَ أَشِيرُوا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عَلَىَّ أَتَرَوْنَ أَنْ أَمِيلَ إِلَى عِيَالِهِمْ وَذَرَارِيِّ هَؤُلاَءِ الَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَصُدُّونَا عَنِ الْبَيْتِ فَإِنْ يَأْتُونَا كَانَ اللَّهُ ﷻ قَدْ قَطَعَ عَيْنًا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَإِلاَّ تَرَكْنَاهُمْ مَحْرُوبِينَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خَرَجْتَ عَامِدًا لِهَذَا الْبَيْتِ لاَ تُرِيدُ قَتْلَ أَحَدٍ وَلاَ حَرْبَ أَحَدٍ فَتَوَجَّهْ لَهُ فَمَنْ صَدَّنَا عَنْهُ قَاتَلْنَاهُ قَالَ امْضُوا عَلَى اسْمِ اللَّهِ  

That he heard Marwan bin Al-Hakam and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama relating one of the events that happened to Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the ʿUmra of Al-Hudaibiya. They said, "When Messenger of Allah ﷺ concluded the truce with Suhail bin ʿAmr on the day of Al-Hudaibiya, one of the conditions which Suhail bin ʿAmr stipulated, was his saying (to the Prophet), "If anyone from us (i.e. infidels) ever comes to you, though he has embraced your religion, you should return him to us, and should not interfere between us and him." Suhail refused to conclude the truce with Messenger of Allah ﷺ except on this condition. The believers disliked this condition and got disgusted with it and argued about it. But when Suhail refused to conclude the truce with Messenger of Allah ﷺ except on that condition, Allah's Apostle concluded it. Accordingly, Messenger of Allah ﷺ then returned Abu Jandal bin Suhail to his father, Suhail bin ʿAmr, and returned every man coming to him from them during that period even if he was a Muslim. The believing women Emigrants came (to Medina) and Um Kulthum, the daughter of ʿUqba bin Abi Mu'ait was one of those who came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and she was an adult at that time. Her relatives came, asking Messenger of Allah ﷺ to return her to them, and in this connection, Allah revealed the Verses dealing with the believing (women).  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ وَالْمِسْوَرَ بْنَ مَخْرَمَةَ يُخْبِرَانِ خَبَرًا مِنْ خَبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي عُمْرَةِ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَكَانَ فِيمَا أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهُ لَمَّا كَاتَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُهَيْلَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ عَلَى قَضِيَّةِ الْمُدَّةِ وَكَانَ فِيمَا اشْتَرَطَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو أَنَّهُ قَالَ لاَ يَأْتِيكَ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ عَلَى دِينِكَ إِلاَّ رَدَدْتَهُ إِلَيْنَا وَخَلَّيْتَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُ وَأَبَى سُهَيْلٌ أَنْ يُقَاضِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلاَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَكَرِهَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ ذَلِكَ وَامَّعَضُوا فَتَكَلَّمُوا فِيهِ فَلَمَّا أَبَى سُهَيْلٌ أَنْ يُقَاضِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلاَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ كَاتَبَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَدَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَبَا جَنْدَلِ بْنَ سُهَيْلٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلَى أَبِيهِ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَلَمْ يَأْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ إِلاَّ رَدَّهُ فِي تِلْكَ الْمُدَّةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُسْلِمًا وَجَاءَتِ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ مُهَاجِرَاتٍ فَكَانَتْ أُمُّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ مُعَيْطٍ مِمَّنْ خَرَجَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهْىَ عَاتِقٌ فَجَاءَ أَهْلُهَا يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَرْجِعَهَا إِلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ مَا أَنْزَلَ  

-- "O Prophet! When the believing Women come to you, to give the pledge of allegiance to you." (60.12) ʿUrwa's uncle said, "We were informed when Allah ordered His Apostle to return to the pagans what they had given to their wives who lately migrated (to Medina) and we were informed that Abu Basir..." relating the whole narration.  

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ؓ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَمْتَحِنُ مَنْ هَاجَرَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ بِهَذِهِ الآيَةِ {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ} وَعَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ بَلَغَنَا حِينَ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ ﷺ أَنْ يَرُدَّ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَا أَنْفَقُوا عَلَى مَنْ هَاجَرَ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَبَلَغَنَا أَنَّ أَبَا بَصِيرٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِطُولِهِ  

ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar set out for Umra during the period of afflictions, and he said, "If I should be stopped from visiting the Kaʿba, I will do what we did when we were with Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He assumed Ihram for ʿUmra in the year of Al-Hudaibiya.  

عَنِ الْبَيْتِ صَنَعْنَا كَمَا صَنَعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَهَلَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ أَهَلَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ عَامَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ  

Ibn ʿUmar assumed Ihram and said, "If something should intervene between me and the Kaʿba, then I will do what the Prophet ﷺ did when the Quraish infidels intervened between him and (the Kaʿba). Then Ibn ʿUmar recited: "You have indeed in Messenger of Allah ﷺ A good example to follow." (33.21)  

وَقَالَ إِنْ حِيلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ لَفَعَلْتُ كَمَا فَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حِينَ حَالَتْ كُفَّارُ قُرَيْشٍ بَيْنَهُ وَتَلاَ {لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ}  

One of ʿAbdullah's sons said to ʿAbdullah (bin ʿUmar) "I wish you would stay this year (and not perform Hajj) as I am afraid that you will not be able to reach the Kaʿba." On that he (i.e. ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar) said, "We went out with the Prophet (for ʿUmra), and when the Quraish infidel intervened between us and the Kaʿba, the Prophet ﷺ slaughtered his Hadi and shaved (his head), and his companions cut short their hair." Then ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar said, "I make you witness that I have intended to perform ʿUmra and if I am allowed to reach the Kaʿba, I will perform the Tawaf, and if something (i.e. obstacles) intervene between me and the Kaʿba, then I will do what Messenger of Allah ﷺ did." Then after going for a while, he said, "I consider the ceremonies (of both ʿUmra and Hajj as one and the same, so I would like you to witness that I have intended to perform Hajj along with my ʿUmra." So he performed only one Tawaf and one Sai (between Safa and Marwa) and finished the Ihram of both Umra and Hajj).  

لَهُ لَوْ أَقَمْتَ الْعَامَ فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ لاَ تَصِلَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَحَالَ كُفَّارُ قُرَيْشٍ دُونَ الْبَيْتِ فَنَحَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هَدَايَاهُ وَحَلَقَ وَقَصَّرَ أَصْحَابُهُ وَقَالَ أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي أَوْجَبْتُ عُمْرَةً فَإِنْ خُلِّيَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الْبَيْتِ طُفْتُ وَإِنْ حِيلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الْبَيْتِ صَنَعْتُ كَمَا صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَارَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا أُرَى شَأْنَهُمَا إِلاَّ وَاحِدًا أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ أَوْجَبْتُ حَجَّةً مَعَ عُمْرَتِي فَطَافَ طَوَافًا وَاحِدًا وَسَعْيًا وَاحِدًا حَتَّى حَلَّ مِنْهُمَا جَمِيعًا  

The people used to say that Ibn ʿUmar had embraced Islam before ʿUmar. This is not true. What happened is that ʿUmar sent ʿAbdullah to bring his horse from an Ansari man so as to fight on it. At that time the people were giving the Pledge of allegiance to Messenger of Allah ﷺ near the Tree, and ʿUmar was not aware of that. So ʿAbdullah (bin ʿUmar) gave the Pledge of Allegiance (to the Prophet) and went to take the horse and brought it to ʿUmar. While ʿUmar was putting on the armor to get ready for fighting, ʿAbdullah informed him that the people were giving the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Apostle beneath the Tree. So ʿUmar set out and ʿAbdullah accompanied him till he gave the Pledge of allegiance to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and it was this event that made people say that Ibn ʿUmar had embraced Islam before ʿUmar.  

أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ أَسْلَمَ قَبْلَ عُمَرَ وَلَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ وَلَكِنْ عُمَرُ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ أَرْسَلَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ إِلَى فَرَسٍ لَهُ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ يَأْتِي بِهِ لِيُقَاتِلَ عَلَيْهِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُبَايِعُ عِنْدَ الشَّجَرَةِ وَعُمَرُ لاَ يَدْرِي بِذَلِكَ فَبَايَعَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى الْفَرَسِ فَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى عُمَرَ وَعُمَرُ يَسْتَلْئِمُ لِلْقِتَالِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُبَايِعُ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ فَذَهَبَ مَعَهُ حَتَّى بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَهِيَ الَّتِي يَتَحَدَّثُ النَّاسُ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ أَسْلَمَ قَبْلَ عُمَرَ  

"The people were along with the Prophet ﷺ on the day of Al-Hudaibiya spreading in the shade of the trees. Suddenly the people surrounded the Prophet ﷺ and started looking at him." ʿUmar said, "O ʿAbdullah! Go and see why the people are encircling Allah's Apostle and looking at him." ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar then saw the people giving the Pledge o allegiance to the Prophet. So he also gave the Pledge of allegiance and returned to ʿUmar who went out in his turn and gave the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet.'  

أَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ تَفَرَّقُوا فِي ظِلاَلِ الشَّجَرِ فَإِذَا النَّاسُ مُحْدِقُونَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ انْظُرْ مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ قَدْ أَحْدَقُوا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَجَدَهُمْ يُبَايِعُونَ فَبَايَعَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَخَرَجَ فَبَايَعَ  

We were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ when he performed the ʿUmra. He performed the Tawaf and we did the same; he offered the prayer and we also offered the prayer with him. Then he performed the Sai between Safa and Marwa and we were guarding him against the people of Mecca so that nobody should harm him.  

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ اعْتَمَرَ فَطَافَ فَطُفْنَا مَعَهُ وَصَلَّى وَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ وَسَعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَكُنَّا نَسْتُرُهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ لاَ يُصِيبُهُ أَحَدٌ بِشَىْءٍ  

When Sahl bin Hunaif returned from (the battle of) Siffin, we went to ask him (as to why he had come back). He replied, "(You should not consider me a coward) but blame your opinions. I saw myself on the day of Abu Jandal (inclined to fight), and if I had the power of refusing the order of Allah's Apostle then, I would have refused it (and fought the infidels bravely). Allah and His Apostle know (what is convenient) better. Whenever we put our swords on our shoulders for any matter that terrified us, our swords led us to an easy agreeable solution before the present situation (of disagreement and dispute between the Muslims). When we mend the breach in one side, it opened in another, and we do not know what to do about it."  

اتَّهِمُوا الرَّأْىَ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي يَوْمَ أَبِي جَنْدَلٍ وَلَوْ أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَرُدَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمْرَهُ لَرَدَدْتُ وَاللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ وَمَا وَضَعْنَا أَسْيَافَنَا عَلَى عَوَاتِقِنَا لأَمْرٍ يُفْظِعُنَا إِلاَّ أَسْهَلْنَ بِنَا إِلَى أَمْرٍ نَعْرِفُهُ قَبْلَ هَذَا الأَمْرِ مَا نَسُدُّ مِنْهَا خُصْمًا إِلاَّ انْفَجَرَ عَلَيْنَا خُصْمٌ مَا نَدْرِي كَيْفَ نَأْتِي لَهُ  

The Prophet ﷺ came to me at the time of Al-Hudaibiya Pledge while lice were falling on my face. He said, "Are the lice of your head troubling you?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Shave your head and fast for three days, or feed six poor persons, or slaughter a sheep as sacrifice." (The sub-narrator, Aiyub said, "I do not know with which of these three options he started.")  

أَتَى عَلَىَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَقَالَ {أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ} قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاحْلِقْ وَصُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ أَوِ انْسُكْ نَسِيكَةً قَالَ أَيُّوبُ لاَ أَدْرِي بِأَىِّ هَذَا بَدَأَ  

We were in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Al-Hudaibiya in the state of Ihram and the pagans did not allow us to proceed (to the Kaʿba). I had thick hair and lice started falling on my face. The Prophet ﷺ passed by me and said, "Are the lice of your head troubling you?" I replied, Yes." (The sub-narrator added, "Then the following Divine Verse was revealed:-- "And if anyone of you is ill or has an ailment in his scalp, (necessitating shaving) must pay a ransom (Fida) of either fasting or feeding the poor, Or offering a sacrifice." (2.196)  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَنَحْنُ مُحْرِمُونَ وَقَدْ حَصَرَنَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ قَالَ وَكَانَتْ لِي وَفْرَةٌ فَجَعَلَتِ الْهَوَامُّ تَسَّاقَطُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَمَرَّ بِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ وَأُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ {فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِهِ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ}
