That Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode over a donkey covered with a Fadakiya (velvet sheet) and Usama was riding behind him. He was visiting Saʿd bin 'Ubada (who was sick) in the dwelling place of Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj and this incident happened before the battle of Badr. They proceeded till they passed by a gathering in which ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present., and that was before ʿAbdullah bin Ubat embraced Islam. In that gathering there were Muslims, pagan idolators and Jews, and among the Muslims there was ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha. When a cloud of dust raised by (the movement of ) the animal covered that gathering, ʿAbdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his garment and said, "Do not cover us with dust." Messenger of Allah ﷺ greeted them, stopped, dismounted and invited them to Allah (i.e. to embrace Islam) and recited to them the Holy Qur'an. On that ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul said to him, "O man! There is nothing better than what you say, if it is the truth. So do not trouble us with it in our gatherings, but if somebody comes to you, you can preach to him." On that ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha said "Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Call on us in our gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing one another till they were about to fight with one another. Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept on quietening them till all of them became quiet, and then Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode his animal and proceeded till he entered upon Saʿd bin 'Ubada. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Saʿd! Didn't you hear what Abu Habab said?" (meaning ʿAbdullah bin Unbar). "He said so-and-so." Saʿd bin Ubada said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Let my father be sacrificed for you ! Excuse and forgive him for, by Him Who revealed to you the Book, Allah sent the Truth which was revealed to you at the time when the people of this town had decided to crown him (ʿAbdullah bin Ubai) as their ruler. So when Allah had prevented that with the Truth He had given you, he was choked by that, and that caused him to behave in such an impolite manner which you had noticed." So Messenger of Allah ﷺ excused him. (It was the custom of) Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions to excuse the pagans and the people of the scripture (Christians and Jews) as Allah ordered them, and they used to be patient when annoyed (by them). Allah said: 'You shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the Scripture before you.....and from the pagans (3.186) He also said: 'Many of the people of the scripture wish that if they could turn you away as disbelievers after you have believed. .... (2.109) So Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to apply what Allah had ordered him by excusing them till he was allowed to fight against them. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ had fought the battle of Badr and Allah killed whomever He killed among the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of Quraish, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions had returned with victory and booty, bringing with them some of the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of the Quraish as captives. ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul and the pagan idolators who were with him, said, "This matter (Islam) has now brought out its face (triumphed), so give Messenger of Allah ﷺ the pledge of allegiance (for embracing Islam.)". Then they became Muslims.

Usama bin Zaid said, "The Prophet ﷺ rode over a donkey with a saddle underneath which there was a thick soft Fadakiya velvet sheet. Usama bin Zaid was his companion rider, and he was going to pay a visit to Saʿd bin Ubada (who was sick) at the dwelling place of Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj, and this incident happened before the battle of Badr. The Prophet ﷺ passed by a gathering in which there were Muslims and pagan idolators and Jews, and among them there was ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul, and there was ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha too. When a cloud of dust raised by the animal covered that gathering, ʿAbdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his Rida (sheet) and said (to the Prophet), "Don't cover us with dust." The Prophet ﷺ greeted them and then stopped, dismounted and invited them to Allah (i.e., to embrace Islam) and also recited to them the Holy Qur'an. ʿAbdullah bin Ubai' bin Salul said, "O man! There is nothing better than what you say, if what you say is the truth. So do not trouble us in our gatherings. Go back to your mount (or house,) and if anyone of us comes to you, tell (your tales) to him." On that ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha said, "(O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!) Come to us and bring it(what you want to say) in our gatherings, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started quarreling till they were about to fight and clash with one another. The Prophet ﷺ kept on quietening them (till they all became quiet). He then rode his animal, and proceeded till he entered upon Saʿd bin 'Ubada, he said, "O Saʿd, didn't you hear what Abu Habbab said? (He meant ʿAbdullah bin Ubai). He said so-and-so." Saʿd bin 'Ubada said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Excuse and forgive him, for by Allah, Allah has given you what He has given you. The people of this town decided to crown him (as their chief) and make him their king. But when Allah prevented that with the Truth which He had given you, it choked him, and that was what made him behave in the way you saw him behaving." So the Prophet excused him.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَكِبَ حِمَارًا عَلَيْهِ إِكَافٌ تَحْتَهُ قَطِيفَةٌ فَدَكِيَّةٌ وَأَرْدَفَ وَرَاءَهُ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ وَهْوَ يَعُودُ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ فِي بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ وَقْعَةِ بَدْرٍ حَتَّى مَرَّ فِي مَجْلِسٍ فِيهِ أَخْلاَطٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ عَبَدَةِ الأَوْثَانِ وَالْيَهُودِ وَفِيهِمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَىٍّ ابْنُ سَلُولَ وَفِي الْمَجْلِسِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَلَمَّا غَشِيَتِ الْمَجْلِسَ عَجَاجَةُ الدَّابَّةِ خَمَّرَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَىٍّ أَنْفَهُ بِرِدَائِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لاَ تُغَبِّرُوا عَلَيْنَا فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثُمَّ وَقَفَ فَنَزَلَ فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَىٍّ ابْنُ سَلُولَ أَيُّهَا الْمَرْءُ لاَ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ هَذَا إِنْ كَانَ مَا تَقُولُ حَقًّا فَلاَ تُؤْذِنَا فِي مَجَالِسِنَا وَارْجِعْ إِلَى رَحْلِكَ فَمَنْ جَاءَكَ مِنَّا فَاقْصُصْ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ ابْنُ رَوَاحَةَ اغْشَنَا فِي مَجَالِسِنَا فَإِنَّا نُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ فَاسْتَبَّ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ وَالْيَهُودُ حَتَّى هَمُّوا أَنْ يَتَوَاثَبُوا فَلَمْ يَزَلِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُخَفِّضُهُمْ ثُمَّ رَكِبَ دَابَّتَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ فَقَالَ أَىْ سَعْدُ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالَ أَبُو حُبَابٍ يُرِيدُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُبَىٍّ قَالَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ اعْفُ عَنْهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاصْفَحْ فَوَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَعْطَاكَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَ وَلَقَدِ اصْطَلَحَ أَهْلُ هَذِهِ الْبَحْرَةِ عَلَى أَنْ يُتَوِّجُوهُ فَيُعَصِّبُونَهُ بِالْعِصَابَةِ فَلَمَّا رَدَّ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ بِالْحَقِّ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَ شَرِقَ بِذَلِكَ فَذَلِكَ فَعَلَ بِهِ مَا رَأَيْتَ فَعَفَا عَنْهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ  

The Prophet ﷺ rode a donkey having a saddle with a Fadakiyya velvet covering. He mounted me behind him and went to visit Saʿd bin 'Ubada, and that had been before the battle of Badr. The Prophet ﷺ proceeded till he passed by a gathering in which ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present, and that had been before ʿAbdullah embraced Islam. The gathering comprised of Muslims, polytheists, i.e., isolators and Jews. ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha was also present in that gathering. When dust raised by the donkey covered the gathering, ʿAbdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his upper garment and said, "Do not trouble us with dust." The Prophet ﷺ greeted them, stopped and dismounted. Then he invited them to Allah (i.e., to embrace Islam) and recited to them some verses of the Holy Qur'an. On that, ʿAbdullah bin Ubai said, "O man ! There is nothing better than what you say if it is true. Do not trouble us with it in our gathering, but return to your house, and if somebody comes to you, teach him there." On that ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha said, Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Bring your teachings to our gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing each other till they were about to fight. The Prophet ﷺ kept on quietening them till they became calm. Thereupon the Prophet mounted his animal and proceeded till he entered upon Saʿd bin Ubada. He said to him "O Saʿd! Have you not heard what Abu Hubab (i.e., ʿAbdullah bin Ubai) said?" Saʿd said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Excuse and forgive him, for Allah has given you what He has given you. The people of this town (Medina decided unanimously to crown him and make him their chief by placing a turban on his head, but when that was prevented by the Truth which Allah had given you he (ʿAbdullah bin Ubai) was grieved out of jealously, and that was the reason which caused him to behave in the way you have seen."

Do not scatter the dust over us (Not minding this remark), the Prophet ﷺ greeted them, stopped, got down from his animal, invited them to Allah, and recited to them the Qur'an. 'Abdullah b. Ubayy said: O man, if what you say is the truth, the best thing for you would be not to bother us with it in our assemblies. Get back to your place. Whoso comes to you from us, tell him (all) this. Abdullah b. Rawaha said: Come to us in our gatherings, for we love (to hear) it. The narrator says: (At this), the Muslims, the polytheists and the Jews began to rebuke one another until they were determined to come to blows. The Prophet ﷺ continued to pacify them. (When they were pacified), he rode his animal and came to Sa'd b. 'Ubida. He said: Sa'd, haven't you heard what Abu Hubab (meaning 'Abdullah b. Ubayy) has said? He has said so and so. Sa'd said: Messenger of Allah, forgive and pardon. God has granted you a sublime position, (but so far as he is concerned) the people of this settlement had-decided to make him their king by making him wear a crown and a turban (in token thereof), but God has circumvented this by the truth He has granted you. This has made him jealous and his jealousy (must have) prompted the behaviour that you have witnessed. So, the Prophet (may peace upon him) forgave him.

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَكِبَ حِمَارًا عَلَيْهِ إِكَافٌ تَحْتَهُ قَطِيفَةٌ فَدَكِيَّةٌ وَأَرْدَفَ وَرَاءَهُ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ وَهُوَيَعُودُ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ فِي بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ وَقْعَةِ بَدْرٍ حَتَّى مَرَّ بِمَجْلِسٍ فِيهِ أَخْلَاطٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ عَبَدَةِ الْأَوْثَانِ وَالْيَهُودِ فِيهِمْ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ وَفِي الْمَجْلِسِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَلَمَّا غَشِيَتِ الْمَجْلِسَ عَجَاجَةُ الدَّابَّةِ خَمَّرَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ أَنْفَهُ بِرِدَائِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا تُغَبِّرُوا عَلَيْنَا فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثُمَّ وَقَفَ فَنَزَلَ فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَى اللهِ وَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ أَيُّهَا الْمَرْءُ لَا أَحْسَنَ مِنْ هَذَا إِنْ كَانَ مَا تَقُولُ حَقًّا فَلَا تُؤْذِينَا فِي مَجَالِسِنَا وَارْجِعْ إِلَى رَحْلِكَ فَمَنْ جَاءَكَ مِنَّا فَاقْصُصْ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ اغْشَنَا فِي مَجَالِسِنَا فَإِنَّا نُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَاسْتَبَّ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ وَالْيَهُودُ حَتَّى هَمُّوا أَنْ يَتَوَاثَبُوا فَلَمْ يَزَلِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُخَفِّضُهُمْ ثُمَّ رَكِبَ دَابَّتَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ فَقَالَ أَيْ سَعْدُ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالَ أَبُو حُبَابٍ يُرِيدُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أُبَيٍّ؟ قَالَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ اعْفُ عَنْهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَاصْفَحْ فَوَاللهِ لَقَدْ أَعْطَاكَ اللهُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَ وَلَقَدْ اصْطَلَحَ أَهْلُ هَذِهِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ أَنْ يُتَوِّجُوهُ فَيُعَصِّبُوهُ بِالْعِصَابَةِ فَلَمَّا رَدَّ اللهُ ذَلِكَ بِالْحَقِّ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَهُ شَرِقَ بِذَلِكَ فَذَاكَ فَعَلَ بِهِ مَا رَأَيْتَ فَعَفَا عَنْهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ  

We went to Jabir b. Abdullah and he began inquiring about the people (who had gone to see him) till it was my turn. I said: I am Muhammad b. 'Ali b. Husain. He placed his hand upon my head and opened my upper button and then the lower one and then placed his palm on my chest (in order to bless me), and I was, during those days, a young boy, and he said: You are welcome, my nephew. Ask whatever you want to ask. And I asked him but as he was blind (he could not respond to me immediately), and the time for prayer came. He stood up covering himself in his mantle. And whenever he placed its ends upon his shoulders they slipped down on account of being short (in size). Another mantle was, however, lying on the clothes rack near by. And he led us in the prayer. I said to him: Tell me about the Hajj of Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him). And he pointed with his hand nine, and then stated: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in (Medina) for nine years but did not perform Hajj, then he made a public announcement in the tenth year to the effect that Messenger of Allah ﷺ was about to perform the Hajj. A large number of persons came to Medina and all of them were anxious to follow the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) and do according to his doing. We set out with him till we reached Dhu'l-Hulaifa. Asma' daughter of Umais gave birth to Muhammad b. Abu Bakr. She sent message to the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) asking him: What should 1 do? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Take a bath, bandage your private parts and put on Ihram. The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) then prayed in the mosque and then mounted al-Qaswa (his she-camel) and it stood erect with him on its back at al-Baida'. And I saw as far as I could see in front of me but riders and pedestrians, and also on my right and on my left and behind me like this. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was prominent among us and the (revelation) of the Holy Qur'an was descending upon him. And it is he who knows (its true) significance. And whatever he did, we also did that. He pronounced the Oneness of Allah (saying):" Labbaik,0 Allah, Labbaik, Labbaik. Thou hast no partner, praise and grace is Thine and the Sovereignty too; Thou hast no partner." And the people also pronounced this Talbiya which they pronounce (today). The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) did not reject anything out of it. But the Messenger of Allah (May peace. be upon him) adhered to his own Talbiya. Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) said: We did not have any other intention but that of Hajj only, being unaware of the Umra (at that season), but when we came with him to the House, he touched the pillar and (made seven circuits) running three of them and walking four. And then going to the Station of Ibrahim, he recited:" And adopt the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer." And this Station was between him and the House. My father said (and I do not know whether he had made a mention of it but that was from Allah's Apostle [May peace be upon him] that he recited in two rak'ahs:" say: He is Allah One," and say:" Say: 0 unbelievers." He then returned to the pillar (Hajar Aswad) and kissed it. He then went out of the gate to al-Safa' and as he reached near it he recited:" Al-Safa' and al-Marwa are among the signs appointed by Allah," (adding: ) I begin with what Allah (has commanded me) to begin. He first mounted al-Safa' till he saw the House, and facing Qibla he declared the Oneness of Allah and glorified Him, and said:" There is no god but Allah, One, there is no partner with Him. His is the Sovereignty. to Him praise is due. and He is Powerful over everything. There is no god but Allah alone, Who fulfilled His promise, helped His servant and routed the confederates alone." He then made supplication in the course of that saying such words three times. He then descended and walked towards al-Marwa, and when his feet came down in the bottom of the valley, he ran, and when he began to ascend he walked till he reached al-Marwa. There he did as he had done at al-Safa'. And when it was his last running at al-Marwa he said: If I had known beforehand what I have come to know afterwards, I would not have brought sacrificial animals and would have performed an 'Umra. So, he who among you has not the sacrificial animals with him should put off Ihram and treat it as an Umra. Suraqa b. Malik b. Ju'sham got up and said: Messenger of Allah, does it apply to the present year, or does it apply forever? Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) intertwined the fingers (of one hand) into another and said twice: The 'Umra has become incorporated in the Hajj (adding):" No, but for ever and ever." 'All came from the Yemen with the sacrificial animals for the Prophet (May peace be upon him) and found Fatimah (Allah be pleased with her) to be one among those who had put off Ihram and had put on dyed clothes and had applied antimony. He (Hadrat'Ali) showed disapproval to it, whereupon she said: My father has commanded me to do this. He (the narrator) said that 'Ali used to say in Iraq: I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ showing annoyance at Fatimah for what she had done, and asked the (verdict) of Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding what she had narrated from him, and told him that I was angry with her, whereupon he said: She has told the truth, she has told the truth. (The Prophet then asked 'Ali): What did you say when you undertook to go for Hajj? I ('Ali) said: 0 Allah, I am putting on Ihram for the same purpose as Thy Messenger has put it on. He said: I have with me sacrificial animals, so do not put off the Ihram. He (Jabir) said: The total number of those sacrificial animals brought by 'Ali from the Yemen and of those brought by the Apostle ﷺ was one hundred. Then all the people except the Apostle ﷺ and those who had with them sacrificial animals, put off Ihram, and got their hair clipped; when it was the day of Tarwiya (8th of Dhu'l-Hijja) they went to Mina and put on the Ihram for Hajj and the Messenger of Ailah ﷺ rode and led the noon, afternoon, sunset 'Isha' and dawn prayers. He then waited a little till the sun rose, and commanded that a tent of hair should be pitched at Namira. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then set out and the Quraish did not doubt that he would halt at al-Mash'ar al-Haram (the sacred site) as the Quraish used to do in the pre-Islamic period. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, however, passed on till he came to 'Arafa and he found that the tent had been pitched for him at Namira. There he got down till the sun had passed the meridian; he commanded that al-Qaswa should be brought and saddled for him. Then he came to the bottom of the valley, and addressed the people saying: Verily your blood, your property are as sacred and inviolable as the sacredness of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this town of yours. Behold! Everything pertaining to the Days of Ignorance is under my feet completely abolished. Abolished are also the blood-revenges of the Days of Ignorance. The first claim of ours on blood-revenge which I abolish is that of the son of Rabi'a b. al-Harith, who was nursed among the tribe of Sa'd and killed by Hudhail. And the usury of she pre-Islamic period is abolished, and the first of our usury I abolish is that of 'Abbas b. 'Abd al-Muttalib, for it is all abolished. Fear Allah concerning women! Verily you have taken them on the security of Allah, and intercourse with them has been made lawful unto you by words of Allah. You too have right over them, and that they should not allow anyone to sit on your bed whom you do not like. But if they do that, you can chastise them but not severely. Their rights upon you are that you should provide them with food and clothing in a fitting manner. I have left among you the Book of Allah, and if you hold fast to it, you would never go astray. And you would be asked about me (on the Day of Resurrection), (now tell me) what would you say? They (the audience) said: We will bear witness that you have conveyed (the message), discharged (the ministry of Prophethood) and given wise (sincere) counsel. He (the narrator) said: He (the Holy Prophet) then raised his forefinger towards the sky and pointing it at the people (said):" O Allah, be witness. 0 Allah, be witness," saying it thrice. (Bilal then) pronounced Adhan and later on Iqama and he (the Holy Prophet) led the noon prayer. He (Bilal) then uttered Iqama and he (the Holy Prophet) led the afternoon prayer and he observed no other prayer in between the two. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then mounted his camel and came to the place of stay, making his she-camel al-Qaswa, turn towards the side where there we are rocks, having the path taken by those who went on foot in front of him, and faced the Qibla. He kept standing there till the sun set, and the yellow light had somewhat gone, and the disc of the sun had disappeared. He made Usama sit behind him, and he pulled the nosestring of Qaswa so forcefully that its head touched the saddle (in order to keep her under perfect control), and he pointed out to the people with his right hand to be moderate (in speed), and whenever he happened to pass over an elevated tract of sand, he slightly loosened it (the nose-string of his camel) till she climbed up and this is how he reached al-Muzdalifa. There he led the evening and 'Isha prayers with one Adhan and two Iqamas and did not glorify (Allah) in between them (i. e. he did not observe supererogatory rak'ahs between Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then lay down till dawn and offered the dawn prayer with an Adhan and Iqama when the morning light was clear. He again mounted al-Qaswa, and when he came to al-Mash'ar al-Haram, he faced towards Qibla, supplicated Him, Glorified Him, and pronounced His Uniqueness (La ilaha illa Allah) and Oneness, and kept standing till the daylight was very clear. He then went quickly before the sun rose, and seated behind him was al-Fadl b. 'Abbas and he was a man having beautiful hair and fair complexion and handsome face. As the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) was moving on, there was also going a group of women (side by side with them). Al-Fadl began to look at them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed his hand on the face of Fadl who then turned his face to the other side, and began to see, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned his hand to the other side and placed it on the face of al-Fadl. He again turned his face to the other side till he came to the bottom of Muhassir. 1680 He urged her (al-Qaswa) a little, and, following the middle road, which comes out at the greatest jamra, he came to the jamra which is near the tree. At this be threw seven small pebbles, saying Allah-o-Akbar while throwing every one of them in a manner in which the small pebbles are thrown (with the help of fingers) and this he did in the bottom of the valley. He then went to the place of sacrifice, and sacrificed sixty-three (camels) with his own hand. Then he gave the remaining number to 'All who sacrificed them, and he shared him in his sacrifice. He then commanded that a piece of flesh from each animal sacrificed should be put in a pot, and when it was cooked, both of them (the Prophet and Hadrat 'All) took some meat out of it and drank its soup. The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) again rode and came to the House, and offered the Zuhr prayer at Mecca. He came to the tribe of Abd al-Muttalib, who were supplying water at Zamzam, and said: Draw water. O Bani 'Abd al-Muttalib; were it not that people would usurp this right of supplying water from you, I would have drawn it along with you. So they handed him a basket and he drank from it.

[Machine] Arbad son of Qais son of Juzi son of Khalid son of Jaafar son of Kilab and Aamir son of Tufayl son of Malik came to the Prophet ﷺ in Al-Madinah. They approached the Prophet ﷺ while he was sitting, so they sat in front of him. Aamir bin Tufayl said, "O Muhammad, what will you grant me if I embrace Islam?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "You will have what the Muslims have, and you will be responsible for what they are responsible for." Aamir bin Tufayl asked, "Will I have authority if I embrace Islam after you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "That is not for you or your people, but you will have the authority of the horses." Aamir bin Tufayl said, "I am currently in charge of the horses of Najd, so make me the chief and you will have the emirates." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "No." When Arbad and Aamir left the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Aamir said to Arbad, "I will distract Muhammad with a conversation, so strike him with the sword. When the people see that Muhammad has been killed, they will accept the blood money and avoid war, and we will give them the blood money." Arbad agreed, so they both returned to him. Aamir said to the Prophet ﷺ, "Stand up and talk to me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to talk to him, and Arbad handed the sword to Aamir. But when Aamir touched the handle of the sword, it became rigid and he could not unsheathe it. Arbad hesitated in attacking Aamir, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from them. When Aamir and Arbad left the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and reached Harrah, Saad bin Muadh and Usaid bin Hudayr intercepted them. They said, "Look, O enemies of Allah! May Allah curse both of you." Aamir asked, "Who is this, O Saad?" Saad replied, "This is Usaid bin Hudayr of the armies." They continued until they reached Riqm, where Allah sent a thunderbolt upon Arbad, killing him. Aamir continued until he reached Harrah, where Allah afflicted him with a wound that paralyzed him. He spent the night in the house of a woman from the Banu Sulayl tribe, repeatedly touching his wound and stating, "This is like a tick of a camel in the house of a Sulayliyyah." He desired to die in her house. Then he mounted his horse and brought it to the place where he met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he died on the way back. Allah revealed regarding them, "Allah knows what every female carries, and what the wombs lose [prematurely] or exceed. And everything with Him is by due measure. [He is] the one who shows you the lightning, [causing] fear and aspiration, and He creates the clouds, heavy and light. And the thunder exalts [Allah] with praise of Him and the angels [as well] from fear of Him. And He sends thunderbolts and strikes therewith whom He wills while they dispute about Allah; and He is severe in assault."

[Machine] That Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf, the Jewish poet, used to insult the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions and incite the polytheists of Quraysh against them in his poetry. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Medina, there were Muslims among them who were united by the call of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and among them were the polytheists who worshiped idols, as well as Jews and members of the Halqah and Hushun tribes who were allies of the Banu Aus and Khazraj. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to reconcile with them and establish good relations with them. There were men who were Muslims while their fathers were polytheists, and men who were Muslims while their brothers were polytheists. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Medina, the polytheists and Jews of the city would haraass the Prophet ﷺ and his companions the most. Allah commanded His Prophet ﷺ and the Muslims to bear patience and forgive them. In them, Allah the Most High revealed: "[There are] indeed many among them who harass the Prophet and say, 'He is a one who listens [to every word].' [But] the people of faith who were given the Scripture(s) before your time did the same; and the polytheists as well. If you were to yield to their desires, after the knowledge that has come to you, you would be a transgressor. And there are among the People of the Book those who would indeed wish to bring you back to infidelity after faith. [But] out of their selfish envy, even after the truth has become clear to them. So, forgive and overlook until Allah brings about His command. Indeed, Allah has power over all things." When Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf refused to stop his harm towards the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Muslims, the Prophet ﷺ ordered Sa'd bin Mu'adh, Muhammad bin Maslamah Al-Ansari, and Harith bin Aws bin Thabit Al-Ansari, as well as Abu 'Isa bin Habrah Al-Ansari and Harith bin Sa'd bin Mu'adh, to assassinate him. They went to him one evening in his assembly at Al-Awali and when Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf saw them, he sensed their intentions and asked them, "What brought you here?" They replied, "We came to discuss a matter with you." He said, "Then let one of you come closer to me and inform me about it." So, one of them approached him and said, "We came to negotiate selling you some armor, the proceeds of which we will use for charity." He said, "By Allah, if you do that, you would have exhausted yourselves. Since this man came to you, he has been challenging you to come to him for dinner when people have gone and it is a good opportunity. So, they went to him and one of them called out to him. When he stood up to go to them, his wife asked him, 'What are they asking of you at this time of the night? Is there something you desire from them?' He said, 'Yes, indeed they have told me something interesting.' Then, he went out to them. Muhammad bin Maslamah embraced him and said, 'Let none of you precede the others in slaying him. We will all kill him together, for if we allow him to speak a word, he will bewitch us.'" Then they stabbed him with their swords in his abdomen and killed him. When the Jews and the polytheists who were with them found out about it, they were alarmed and the next morning they went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'Our leader was killed last night and he was a nobleman among us.' So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited to them some of his poetry in which he insulted and harmed them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then called them to write a document between him and them and the Muslims in general, which would include the agreement of the people. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote it.

The Prophet ﷺ rode a donkey having a saddle with a Fadakiyya velvet covering. He mounted me behind him and went to visit Saʿd bin 'Ubada, and that had been before the battle of Badr. The Prophet ﷺ proceeded till he passed by a gathering in which ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present, and that had been before ʿAbdullah embraced Islam. The gathering comprised of Muslims, polytheists, i.e., isolators and Jews. ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha was also present in that gathering. When dust raised by the donkey covered the gathering, ʿAbdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his upper garment and said, "Do not trouble us with dust." The Prophet ﷺ greeted them, stopped and dismounted. Then he invited them to Allah (i.e., to embrace Islam) and recited to them some verses of the Holy Qur'an. On that, ʿAbdullah bin Ubai said, "O man ! There is nothing better than what you say if it is true. Do not trouble us with it in our gathering, but return to your house, and if somebody comes to you, teach him there." On that ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha said, Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Bring your teachings to our gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing each other till they were about to fight. The Prophet ﷺ kept on quietening them till they became calm. Thereupon the Prophet mounted his animal and proceeded till he entered upon Saʿd bin Ubada. He said to him "O Saʿd! Have you not heard what Abu Hubab (i.e., ʿAbdullah bin Ubai) said?" Saʿd said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Excuse and forgive him, for Allah has given you what He has given you. The people of this town (Medina decided unanimously to crown him and make him their chief by placing a turban on his head, but when that was prevented by the Truth which Allah had given you he (ʿAbdullah bin Ubai) was grieved out of jealously, and that was the reason which caused him to behave in the way you have seen." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5663)   

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَكِبَ يَوْمًا حِمَارًا بِإِكَافٍ عَلَيْهِ قَطِيفَةٌ يَرْدُفُهُ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ يَعُودُ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ فِي بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ وَقْعَةِ بَدْرٍ فَمَرَّ بِمَجْلِسٍ فِيهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيِّ ابْنِ سَلُولٍ قَبْلَ إِسْلَامِهِ وَفِي الْمَجْلِسِ أَخْلَاطٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ فَلَمَّا غَشِيَ الْمَجْلِسَ عَجَاجَةُ الدَّابَّةِ خَمَّرَ ابْنُ أُبَيٍّ أَنْفَهُ بِرِدَائِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا تُغَبِّرُوا عَلَيْنَا فَسَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ دَعَاهُمْ وَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنَ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ أُبَيٍّ لَا أَحْسَنَ مِمَّا تَقُولُ فَلَا تَرِدْنَا فِي مَجَالِسِنَا وَارْجِعْ إِلَى رَحْلِكَ فَمَنْ جَاءَكَ فَاقْصُصْ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ ابْنُ رَوَاحَةَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اغْشَنَا فِي مَجَالِسِنَا فَإِنَّا نُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ وَاسْتَبَّ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ حَتَّى كَادُوا يَقْتَتِلُونَ فَخَفَّضَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى سَكَتُوا وَسَارَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ فَقَالَ أَيْ سَعْدُ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالَ أَبُو الْحُبَابِ؟ فَأَخْبَرَهُ مَا كَانَ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اعْفُ عَنْهُ وَاصْفَحْ فَوَالَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ لَقَدْ جَاءَكَ اللهُ بِالْحَقِّ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَهُ عَلَيْكَ وَقَدِ اصْطَلَحَ أَهْلُ هَذِهِ الْبَحْرَةِ عَلَى أَنْ يُتَوِّجُوهُ وَيُعَصِّبُوهُ بِالْعُصَابَةِ فَرَدَّ اللهُ ذَلِكَ بِالْحَقِّ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَهُ عَلَيْكَ  

[Machine] When the people of Makkah sent their captives as tribute, Zainab, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , was sent as tribute for Abu Al-As. She was sent with a necklace that Khadijah had given her to wear when she was married to Abu Al-As. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw her, he was greatly moved and said, "If you see fit, then free her captive and return to her what belongs to her." They replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah," so they freed her and returned to her what belonged to her. Al-Abbas then said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am a Muslim." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah knows best about your Islam, so if it is as you say, then Allah will reward you. So, free yourself, as well as the two sons of your brother Nawfal bin Al-Harith bin Abd al-Muttalib and Aqeel bin Abi Talib bin Abd al-Muttalib, and your ally Uthbah bin Amr bin Jahdam, who is from the tribe of Bani Harith bin Fihr." Al-Abbas said, "I do not have that with me, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then where is the wealth that you buried, along with Umm Al-Fadl?" He said to her, "If I am saved, then this wealth belongs to the Bani Fadl and Abdullah and Qutham." Al-Abbas said, "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I know that you are His Messenger, and this is something that no one besides me and Umm Al-Fadl knows. So, please accept on my behalf what you and your companions have received of the twenty ounces of wealth that I had with me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ agreed, and Al-Abbas, along with his two brothers and his ally, were freed. Allah revealed in the Quran, [O Prophet, say to the captives in your hands, 'If Allah knows any good in your hearts, He will give you better than what was taken from you and forgive you.' And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.] (Al-Anfal 70). Allah compensated me with twenty slaves, all of whom had wealth that they could use to help me, in addition to what I hoped for in terms of Allah's forgiveness. This is what our Sheikh Abu Abdullah informed us in his book Al-Mustadrak (12850). Ibn Ishaq also mentioned this in his book Maghazi. Then, Yunus said, "Ibn Ishaq returned to the earlier chain of narrators and mentioned the sending of Quraysh to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with their captives as tribute, and every group ransomed its captive with whatever pleased it. Then, he mentioned Al-Abbas' story with a chain of narrators after mentioning some other narrations, and their Hadiths all came together in what I mentioned to you on the Day of Badr." Then, he started returning to those narrations without mentioning this particular chain. And Allah knows best.

[Machine] That Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf, the Jewish poet, used to mock the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and incite the disbelievers of the Quraysh against him in his poetry. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Medina, its people were a mixture of Muslims, who were united by the call of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , polytheists who worshiped idols, and Jews who were the people of the fortresses and strongholds and were allies of Banu Aws and Banu Khazraj. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to reconcile with all of them, even if a person was a Muslim and his father was a polytheist or if a person was a Muslim and his brother was a polytheist. The polytheists and the Jews of Medina, upon the arrival of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , harmed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions the most. Allah commanded His Messenger and the Muslims to have patience and forgive them. In this regard, Allah revealed the verse, "You will hear from those who were given the Scripture before you and from those who associate others with Allah much abuse. But if you are patient and fear Allah - indeed, that is of the matters [worthy] of determination" (Quran 3:186) until the end of the verse. In addition, Allah revealed the verse, "Many of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves [even] after the truth has become clear to them. So pardon and overlook until Allah delivers His command. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent." (Quran 2:109) When Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf refused to stop harming the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Muslims, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded Sa'd ibn Mu'adh to send a group to kill him. Sa'd ibn Mu'adh sent Muhammad bin Maslamah Ansari, Abu 'Abs Ansari, and Harith ibn 'Awf, along with five others. The hadith mentions their killing of Ka'b and the panic that spread among the Jews and the polytheists who were with them. They went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the morning and said, "Our leader was killed last night, and he was one of our prominent leaders." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ reminded them of what he used to say in his poetry and warned them against it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ invited them to make a written agreement between him, them, and the Muslims, which they would abide by. The Prophet ﷺ wrote a document between him, them, and the Muslims, valid for one year, which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote under the date palm tree in the house of Bint al-Harith. That document remained with Ali ibn Abi Talib after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .

Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode a donkey, equipped with a thick cloth-covering made in Fadak and was riding behind him. He was going to pay visit to Saʿd bin Ubada in Banu Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj; and this incident happened before the battle of Badr. The Prophet ﷺ passed by a gathering in which ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present, and that was before ʿAbdullah bin Ubai embraced Islam. Behold in that gathering there were people of different religions: there were Muslims, pagans, idol-worshippers and Jews, and in that gathering ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha was also present. When a cloud of dust raised by the donkey reached that gathering, ʿAbdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his garment and then said, "Do not cover us with dust." Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ greeted them and stopped and dismounted and invited them to Allah (i.e. to embrace Islam) and recited to them the Holy Qur'an. On that, ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Saluil said, "O man ! There is nothing better than that what you say. If it is the truth, then do not trouble us with it in our gatherings. Return to your mount (or residence) and if somebody comes to you, relate (your tales) to him." On that ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha said, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle! Bring it (i.e. what you want to say) to us in our gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing one another till they were on the point of fighting with one another. The Prophet ﷺ kept on quietening them till they became quiet, whereupon the Prophet rode his animal (mount) and proceeded till he entered upon Saʿd bin Ubada. The Prophet ﷺ said to Saʿd, "Did you not hear what 'Abu Hub-b said?" He meant ʿAbdullah bin Ubai. "He said so-andso." On that Saʿd bin Ubada said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Excuse and forgive him, for by Him Who revealed the Book to you, Allah brought the Truth which was sent to you at the time when the people of this town (i.e. Medina) had decided unanimously to crown him and tie a turban on his head (electing him as chief). But when Allah opposed that (decision) through the Truth which Allah gave to you, he (i.e. ʿAbdullah bin Ubai) was grieved with jealously. and that caused him to do what you have seen." So Messenger of Allah ﷺ excused him, for the Prophet ﷺ and his companions used to forgive the pagans and the people of Scripture as Allah had ordered them, and they used to put up with their mischief with patience. Allah said: "And you shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the Scripture before you and from the pagans........'(3.186) And Allah also said:--"Many of the people of the Scripture wish if they could turn you away as disbelievers after you have believed, from selfish envy.." (2.109) So the Prophet ﷺ used to stick to the principle of forgiveness for them as long as Allah ordered him to do so till Allah permitted fighting them. So when Messenger of Allah ﷺ fought the battle of Badr and Allah killed the nobles of Quraish infidels through him, Ibn Ubai bin Salul and the pagans and idolaters who were with him, said, "This matter (i.e. Islam) has appeared (i.e. became victorious)." So they gave the pledge of allegiance (for embracing Islam) to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and became Muslims. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4566)

" عَنْ عَبدِ العَزيزِ الزُّهرِىِّ، عَنْ محمد بنِ عبدِ الله بن عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّه عَمْرِو بنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: كَان إسْلاَمُ عُثْمَانَ بنِ عَفَّانَ فِيما حَدَّثَنا عَنْ نَفْسِه، قَالَ: كنتُ رَجُلًا مُسْتَهْتَرًا (*) بِالنِّساء، فَإِنِّى ذَاتَ يَومٍ بِفِنَاءِ الكَعْبَةِ قَاعِدٌ فِى رَهْطٍ مِنْ قُرَيشٍ إذْ أُتينا فَقِيلَ لنَا: إنَّ مُحَمَّدًا أَنكَحَ عُتْبَةَ بنَ أَبِى لَهَبٍ مِنْ رُقَيَّةَ ابْنَتِهِ، وَكَانَتْ رُقَيَّةُ ذَاتَ جَمَالٍ رَائِعٍ، قَالَ عُثْمَانُ: فَدَخَلتْنِى الحِدَّةُ (* *) لما لاَ أَكُونُ أَنَا سَبَقْتُ إلَى ذَلِك؟ فَلَم ألْبَثْ أَنِ انْصَرَفْتُ إلَى مَنزِلِى، فَأصَبْتُ خَالَةً لِى قَاعِدَةً وَهى سُعْدَى بِنْتُ كُرَيزِ بنِ رَبيعةَ بنِ حَبِيبِ بن عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ، وَكَانَتْ قَد طَرَقَتْ وَتَلهفتْ عِنْدَ قَومِها، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْنِى قَالَتْ:

"عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حُمْيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْف، عَنْ أَبِيه قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِى يَقُولُ: سَافَرْتُ إِلَى الْيَمَن قَبْلَ مَبْعَثِ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ بِسَنَةٍ فَنَزَلتُ عَلَى عَسْكَلاَنَ بْنِ عَوَاكِر الْحُمَيْرِيِّ وَكَانَ شَيْخًا كَبيرًا قَدْ أُنْسِئَ لَهُ في الْعُمْرِ حَتَّى كَادَ كَالْفَرخْ، وَكنْتُ لاَ أَزَالُ إِذَا قَدِمْتُ الْيَمَنَ أَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ فَيُسَائِلُنِى عَنْ مَكَّةَ وَيَقُولُ: هَلْ ظَهَرَ فِيكُمْ رَجُلٌ لَهُ نَبأٌ لَهُ ذِكْرٌ هَلْ خَالَفَ أَحَدٌ منْكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ في دِينِكُمْ؟ فَأَقُولُ: لاَ، حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ الْقَدْمَةَ الَّتِى بُعِثَ فيهَا رَسُولُ الله ﷺ فَقَالَ لِى: أَلاَ أُبَشِّرُكَ بِبِشَارَةٍ وَهِىَ خَيْر لَكَ مِنَ التِّجَارَةِ؟ قُلْتُ. بَلَى، قَالَ: إِنَّ الله بَعَثَ في الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ مِنْ قَوْمِكَ نَبِيّا ارْتَضَاهُ صَفِيّا، وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ كتَابًا، وَجَعَلَ لَهُ ثَوَابًا، يَنْهَى عَنِ الأَصْنَامِ، وَيَدْعُو إِلَى الإِسْلاَمِ، يَأمُرُ بِالْحَقِّ وَيَفْعَلُهُ، وَينْهَى عَنِ الْبَاطِلِ وَيُبْطِلُهُ، هُوَ منْ بَنِى هَاشِمٍ، وَأَنْتُمْ أَخْوَالُهُ، يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ! أَخْفِ الوَقْعَةَ وَعَجِّلِ الرَّجْعَةَ، ثُمَّ امْضِ، وَوَازِرْهُ، وَصَدِّقْهُ، وَاحْمِلْ إِلَيْهِ هَذِهِ الأبْيَاتَ:

فَكُنْ شَفِيِعى إِلَى مَلِيكٍ ... يَدْعُو البَرَايَا إِلَى الْفَلاحِ
