[Machine] A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, will a person be held accountable for what they did in pre-Islamic times?" He replied, "Whoever does good in Islam will not be held accountable for what they did in pre-Islamic times, and whoever does evil in Islam will be held accountable for both the past and present."  

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُؤَاخَذُ الرَّجُلُ بِمَا عَمِلَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ أَحْسَنَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ لَمْ يُؤَاخَذْ بِمَا كَانَ عَمِلَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ أُخِذَ بِالْأَوَّلِ وَالْآخِرِ»  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we were people of ignorance and worshipped idols. We used to kill our children. I had a daughter whom I loved dearly, and she was happy whenever I called her. One day, I called her and she followed me. I continued walking until we reached a well not far from my family's home. I took her by the hand and pushed her into the well. Before I did this, I made her promise to say, 'O my father! O my father!' The Prophet ﷺ then cried until his tears stopped. One of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ said to him, 'Did you sadden the Messenger of Allah?' He replied, 'Stop, for he is asking about what concerns him.' Then he said to the man, 'Repeat what you just said.' The man repeated his story, and the Prophet ﷺ cried again until his tears soaked his beard. Then he said to him, 'Verily, Allah has forgiven the people of ignorance for what they have done, so resume your actions accordingly.'"  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا أَهْلَ جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَعِبَادَةِ أَوْثَانٍ فَكُنَّا نَقْتُلُ الْأَوْلَادَ وَكَانَتْ عِنْدِي بِنْتٌ لِي فَلَمَّا أَجَابَتْ وَكَانَتْ مَسْرُورَةً بِدُعَائِي إِذَا دَعَوْتُهَا فَدَعَوْتُهَا يَوْمًا فَاتَّبَعَتْنِي فَمَرَرْتُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ بِئْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِي غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهَا فَرَدَّيْتُ بِهَا فِي الْبِئْرِ وَكَانَ آخِرَ عَهْدِي بِهَا أَنْ تَقُولَ يَا أَبَتَاهُ يَا أَبَتَاهُ فَبَكَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى وَكَفَ دَمْعُ عَيْنَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ جُلَسَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَحْزَنْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ «كُفَّ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْأَلُ عَمَّا أَهَمَّهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ أَعِدْ عَلَيَّ حَدِيثَكَ فَأَعَادَهُ فَبَكَى حَتَّى وَكَفَ الدَّمْعُ مِنْ عَيْنَيْهِ عَلَى لِحْيَتِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ وَضَعَ عَنِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مَا عَمِلُوا فَاسْتَأْنِفْ عَمَلَكَ»  

[Machine] His family sent him with a cup containing butter and milk to their gods. So he asked himself: What prevents me from eating the butter due to fear of its harm? Then a dog came and ate the butter and drank the milk. After that, the man excreted on the idol while the dog was watching. Harun said: In the pre-Islamic era, when a man traveled, he would carry with him four stones. Three for his need and the fourth, he would worship and raise his dog, and he would kill his child.  

أَنَّ أَهْلَهُ بَعَثُوا مَعَهُ بِقَدَحٍ فِيهِ زُبْدٌ وَلَبَنٌ إِلَى آلِهَتِهِمْ قالَ فَمَنَعَنِي أَنْ آكُلَ الزُّبْدَ لِمَخَافَتِهَا قَالَ فَجَاءَ كَلْبٌ فَأَكَلَ الزُّبْدَ وَشَرِبَ اللَّبَنَ ثُمَّ بَالَ عَلَى الصَّنَمِ وَهُوَ إِسَافٌ وَنَائِلَةُ قَالَ هَارُونُ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِذَا سَافَرَ حَمَلَ مَعَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ أَحْجَارٍ ثَلَاثَةٌ لِقِدْرِهِ وَالرَّابِعُ يَعْبُدُهُ وَيُرَبِّي كَلْبَهُ وَيَقْتُلُ وَلَدَهُ  

[Machine] "We were in the pre-Islamic period of ignorance, when we would worship a good stone if we found one, and if we did not find a stone, we would gather a mound of sand. Then we would bring the female camel, the Safiyyah, and be amazed at it. We would milk it onto the mound until we quenched it, and then we would worship that mound, wherever we stood in that place." Abu Muhammad As-Safiyy Al-Kathirah, may Allah have mercy upon him, said that "Fatajj" means when the camel raised its hind legs for milking, and "Fajj" means a wide road, and its plural is "Fijaj."  

«كُنَّا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِذَا أَصَبْنَا حَجَرًا حَسَنًا عَبَدْنَاهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ نُصِبْ حَجَرًا جَمَعْنَا كُثْبَةً مِنْ رَمْلٍ ثُمَّ جِئْنَا بِالنَّاقَةِ الصَّفِيِّ فَتَفَاجُّ عَلَيْهَا فَنَحْلُبُهَا عَلَى الْكُثْبَةِ حَتَّى نَرْوِيَهَا ثُمَّ نَعْبُدُ تِلْكَ الْكُثْبَةَ مَا أَقَمْنَا بِذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ» قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفِيُّ الْكَثِيرَةُ الْأَلْبَانِ فَتَفَاجُّ يَعْنِي النَّاقَةَ إِذَا فَرَّجَتْ بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهَا لِلْحَلْبِ وَالْفَجُّ الطَّرِيقُ الْوَاسِعُ وَجَمْعُهُ فِجَاجٌ  

We find a written inscription that says: Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He is not harsh, nor rude, nor does he shout in the markets. He does not repay evil with evil, but forgives and pardons. His followers are those who praise Allah the Almighty in every valley and thank Him in every situation. They gather together and perform ablution over their extremities. Their caller calls out in the air, their lines in battle are equal to their lines in prayer. They are no different during the night than the buzzing of bees, and their place of birth is Makkah, their migration is to Ṭaybah, and their rule is in Shām."  

نَجِدُهُ مَكْتُوبًا مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَا فَظًّا وَلَا غَلِيظًا وَلَا صَخَّابًا بِالْأَسْوَاقِ وَلَا يَجْزِي بِالسَّيِّئَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ وَلَكِنْ يَعْفُو وَيَغْفِرُ وَأُمَّتُهُ الْحَمَّادُونَ يُكَبِّرُونَ اللَّهَ ﷻ عَلَى كُلِّ نَجْدٍ وَيَحْمَدُونَهُ فِي كُلِّ مَنْزِلَةٍ يَتَأَزَّرُونَ عَلَى أَنْصَافِهِمْ وَيَتَوَضَّئُونَ عَلَى أَطْرَافِهِمْ مُنَادِيهِمْ يُنَادِي فِي جَوِّ السَّمَاءِ صَفُّهُمْ فِي الْقِتَالِ وَصَفُّهُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ سَوَاءٌ لَهُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ دَوِيٌّ كَدَوِيِّ النَّحْلِ مَوْلِدُهُ بِمَكَّةَ وَمُهَاجَرُهُ بِطَيْبَةَ وَمُلْكُهُ بِالشَّامِ  

[Machine] He used to say: "We find the description of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the verse 'We have sent you as a witness, a bearer of glad tidings, and a warner, and a protector for the unlettered people. You are My servant and My Messenger. I have named you Al-Mutawakkil (The Reliant). You are not rude, harsh, nor noisy in the markets. You do not retaliate for the sake of evil with similar evil, but rather forgive and overlook. I will not take back your soul until you establish the straight path. They proclaim that there is no deity but Allah, and I will open for them blind eyes, deaf ears, and sealed hearts.’” Ata' bin Yassar said, and Abu Waqid Al-Laythi informed me that he heard Ka'ab say the same as Ibn Salam said.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّا لَنَجِدُ صِفَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ شَاهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا وَحِرْزًا لِلْأُمِّيِّينَ أَنْتَ عَبْدِي وَرَسُولِي سَمَّيْتُهُ الْمُتَوَكِّلَ لَيْسَ بِفَظٍّ وَلَا غَلِيظٍ وَلَا صَخَّابٍ بِالْأَسْوَاقِ وَلَا يَجْزِي بِالسَّيِّئَةِ مِثْلَهَا وَلَكِنْ يَعْفُو وَيَتَجَاوَزُ وَلَنْ أَقْبِضَهُ حَتَّى يُقِيمَ الْمِلَّةَ الْمُتَعَوِّجَةَ بِأَنْ يُشْهَدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ نَفْتَحُ بِهِ أَعْيُنًا عُمْيًا وَآذَانًا صُمًّا وَقُلُوبًا غُلْفًا» قَالَ عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثِيُّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ كَعْبًا يَقُولُ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ ابْنُ سَلَامٍ  

[Machine] Regarding Ka'b in the first line, "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, chosen by my Lord, not rude, harsh, or abusive in the markets, he does not retaliate an evil act with an evil act but rather forgives and pardons. His birth was in Mecca, his migration was to Taybah (Madinah), and his sovereignty is in Sham (Greater Syria)." And in the second line, "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, his nation praises Him in times of ease and times of hardship, they praise Him in every situation and magnify Him in every honor. The guardians of the sun (stars) offer their prayers when their time comes, even if they are at the top of their towers. They seek closeness to Him, illuminate their surroundings, and their voices resonate in the sky at night, like the buzzing of bees."  

عَنْ كَعْبٍ فِي السَّطْرِ الْأَوَّلِ «مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَبْدِي الْمُخْتَارُ لَا فَظَّا وَلَا غَلِيظًا وَلَا صَخَّابًا فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ وَلَا يَجْزِي بِالسَّيِّئَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ وَلَكِنْ يَعْفُو وَيَغْفِرُ مَوْلِدُهُ بِمَكَّةَ وَهِجْرَتُهُ بِطَيْبَةَ وَمُلْكُهُ بِالشَّامِ» وَفِي السَّطْرِ الثَّانِي «مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أُمَّتُهُ الْحَمَّادُونَ يَحْمَدُونَ اللَّهَ فِي السَّرَّاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ يَحْمَدُونَ اللَّهَ فِي كُلِّ مَنْزِلَةٍ وَيُكَبِّرُونَهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَرَفٍ رُعَاةُ الشَّمْسِ يُصَلُّونَ الصَّلَاةَ إِذَا جَاءَ وَقْتُهَا وَلَوْ كَانُوا عَلَى رَأْسِ كُنَاسَةٍ وَيَأْتَزِرُونَ عَلَى أَوْسَاطِهِمْ وَيُوَضِّئُونَ أَطْرَافَهُمْ وَأَصْوَاتُهُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ فِي جَوِّ السَّمَاءِ كَأَصْوَاتِ النَّحْلِ»  

[Machine] "He asked Ka'b al-Ahbar how he found the description of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the Torah. Ka'b replied, 'We find him as Muhammad bin Abdullah, born in Mecca and migrating to Tabah, and his kingdom will be in Syria. He is neither obscene nor a slanderer in the marketplaces. He does not respond to evil with evil, but instead forgives and pardons. His nation praises Allah in times of ease and glorifies Allah in every hardship. They illuminate their surroundings and gather together in their gatherings. They are disciplined in their prayers, just as they are disciplined in battle. Their voices resonate in their mosques, like the buzzing of bees. Their callers to prayer can be heard in the sky.'"  

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ كَعْبَ الْأَحْبَارِ كَيْفَ تَجِدُ نَعْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ؟ فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ «نَجِدُهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهَ يُولَدُ بِمَكَّةَ وَيُهَاجِرُ إِلَى طَابَةَ وَيَكُونُ مُلْكُهُ بِالشَّامِ وَلَيْسَ بِفَحَّاشٍ وَلَا صَخَّابٍ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ وَلَا يُكَافِئُ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ وَلَكِنْ يَعْفُو وَيَغْفِرُ أُمَّتُهُ الْحَمَّادُونَ يَحْمَدُونَ اللَّهَ فِي كُلِّ سَرَّاءَ وَيُكَبِّرُونَ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ نَجْدٍ يُوَضِّئُونَ أَطْرَافَهُمْ وَيَأْتَزِرُونَ فِي أَوْسَاطِهِمْ يُصَفُّونَ فِي صَلََاتِهِمْ كَمَا يُصَفُّونَ فِي قِتَالِهِمْ دَوِيُّهُمْ فِي مَسَاجِدِهِمْ كَدَوِيِّ النَّحْلِ يُسْتَمِعُ مُنَادِيهِمْ فِي جَوِّ السَّمَاءِ»  

[Machine] "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Verily, a messenger has come to you who is neither weak nor lazy, in order to revive hardened hearts, open blind eyes, make deaf ears hear, and establish the crooked Sunnah until it is said: There is no god but Allah alone.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ إِلَيْكُمْ لَيْسَ بِوَهِنٍ وَلَا كَسِلٍ لِيُحْيِيَ قُلُوبًا غُلْفًا وَيَفْتَحَ أَعْيُنًا عُمْيًا وَيُسْمِعَ آذَانًا صُمًّا وَيُقِيمَ السُّنَّةَ الْعَوْجَاءَ حَتَّى يُقَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ  

[Machine] There was a man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ who had a need for him, so he walked with him until he entered (a house). He said, "Place one of your feet inside the house and keep the other outside as if you are whispering." Then he turned and said, "Do you know who I was speaking to? This is an angel that I have never seen before today. He sought permission from his Lord to greet me." He said, "Indeed, we have given you, O Muhammad, abundance (of good) and the Qur'an (as) a detailed explanation, and tranquility as a source of patience, and the criterion of distinguishing (between right and wrong) and a means of connection."  

كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَهُ إِلَيْهِ حَاجَةٌ فَمَشَى مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ قَالَ فَإِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَالْأُخْرَى خَارِجَهُ كَأَنَّهُ يُنَاجِي فَالْتَفَتَ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرِي مَنْ كُنْتُ أُكَلِّمُ؟ إِنَّ هَذَا مَلَكٌ لَمْ أَرَهُ قَطُّ قَبْلَ يَوْمِي هَذَا اسْتَأْذَنَ رَبَّهُ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ عَلَيَّ قَالَ «إِنَّا آتَيْنَاكَ أَوْ أَنْزَلْنَا الْقُرْآنَ فَصْلًا وَالسَّكِينَةَ صَبْرًا وَالْفُرْقَانَ وَصْلًا»  

[Machine] He heard Rabee'ah Al-Jurashi say that the Prophet ﷺ said: "When the caller invites, whoever responds to the invitation enters the house and eats from the banquet, and the master of the house is pleased with him. But whoever does not respond to the caller, does not enter the house and does not eat from the banquet, and the master of the house becomes angry with him." So, Allah is the Master, Muhammad is the caller, and the house is Islam, and the banquet is Paradise.  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَبِيعَةَ الْجُرَشِيَّ يَقُولُ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقِيلَ لَهُ لِتَنَمْ عَيْنُكَ وَلْتَسْمَعْ أُذُنُكَ وَلْيَعْقِلْ قَلْبُكَ قَالَ «فَنَامَتْ عَيْنَايَ وَسَمِعَتْ أُذُنَايَ وَعَقَلَ قَلْبِي» قَالَ فَقِيلَ لِي سَيِّدٌ بَنَى دَارًا فَصَنَعَ مَأْدُبَةً وَأَرْسَلَ دَاعِيًا فَمَنْ أَجَابَ الدَّاعِيَ دَخَلَ الدَّارَ وَأَكَلَ مِنَ الْمَأْدُبَةِ وَرَضِيَ عَنْهُ السَّيِّدُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبِ الدَّاعِيَ لَمْ يَدْخُلِ الدَّارَ وَلَمْ يَطْعَمْ مِنَ الْمَأْدُبَةِ وَسَخِطَ عَلَيْهِ السَّيِّدُ قَالَ فَاللَّهُ السَّيِّدُ وَمُحَمَّدٌ الدَّاعِي وَالدَّارُ الْإِسْلَامُ وَالْمَأْدُبَةُ الْجَنَّةُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out to the Bat-ha and took Ibn Mas'ood with him. He made him sit down and drew a line for him, then he said, "Do not move from here until men come to you, and do not speak to them, for they will not speak to you." So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went to where he wanted, and they halted at the line, not crossing it, and then they approached the Prophet (ﷺ) until, when it was the end of the night, they came to me while I was lying on my side. If the Prophet (ﷺ) was sleeping, he would blow lightly in his sleep. So while the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) lying on his side and I was lying with my leg under his thigh, some men came to me. They had the most beautiful white garments on. Allah knows best what beauty they possessed. Some of them sat by his head, and some sat by his feet. They said, "We have not seen a slave who has been given what this Prophet (ﷺ) has been given. His eyes sleep, but his heart is awake. Bring forth an example for him - a Lord who builds a palace, then makes a feast and invites the people to it, then the people leave and he rises." So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) awoke, and said: "Do you know who these are?" I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "These are the Angels." He said: "Do you know what example they gave?" I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "The Most Merciful has built the Garden and has invited its people, and whoever answers the invitation enters His Garden, and whoever does not answer the invitation He will punish."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْبَطْحَاءِ وَمَعَهُ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَأَقْعَدَهُ وَخَطَّ عَلَيْهِ خَطًّا ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَا تَبْرَحَنَّ فَإِنَّهُ سَيَنْتَهِي إِلَيْكَ رِجَالٌ فَلَا تُكَلِّمْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يُكَلِّمُوكَ» فَمَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَيْثُ أَرَادَ ثُمَّ جَعَلُوا يَنْتَهُونَ إِلَى الْخَطِّ لَا يُجَاوِزُونَهُ ثُمَّ يَصْدُرُونَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ جَاءَ إِلَيَّ فَتَوَسَّدَ فَخِذِي وَكَانَ إِذَا نَامَ نَفَخَ فِي النَّوْمِ نَفْخًا فَبَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُتَوَسِّدٌ فَخِذِي رَاقِدٌ إِذْ أَتَانِي رِجَالٌ كَأَنَّهُمُ الْجِمَالُ عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَابٌ بِيضٌ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ مَا بِهِمْ مِنَ الْجَمَالِ حَتَّى قَعَدَ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ وَطَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا بَيْنَهُمْ مَا رَأَيْنَا عَبْدًا أُوتِيَ مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَ هَذَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ عَيْنَيْهِ لَتَنَامَانِ وَإِنَّ قَلْبَهُ لَيَقْظَانُ اضْرِبُوا لَهُ مَثَلًا سَيِّدٌ بَنَى قَصْرًا ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مَأْدُبَةً فَدَعَا النَّاسَ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ وَشَرَابِهِ ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعُوا وَاسْتَيْقَظَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «أَتَدْرِي مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟» قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «هُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ» قَالَ «وَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَا الْمَثَلُ الَّذِي ضَرَبُوهُ؟» قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «الرَّحْمَنُ بَنَى الْجَنَّةَ فَدَعَا إِلَيْهَا عِبَادَهُ فَمَنْ أَجَابَهُ دَخَلَ جَنَّتَهُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبْ عَاقَبَهُ وَعَذَّبَهُ»  

[Machine] He told them that he was among the companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: "How was your initial experience, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "My nursemaid was from the tribe of Bani Sa'd bin Bakr. So I and her son set out with a herd of camels that belonged to us, and we did not take any provisions with us. So I said: 'O brother, go and bring us some provisions from our mother.' So my brother set out and I stayed with the camels. Then two white birds, like eagles, came flying towards me. One of them said to the other: 'Is that him?' The other said: 'Yes.' So they hastened towards me and seized me, throwing me down on the ground and splitting open my stomach. Then they extracted my heart and split it open, taking out two black clots. One of them said to the other: 'Bring me some snow water.' So he washed the inside of my chest with it. Then he said: 'Bring me some cold water.' So he washed my heart with it. Then he said: 'Bring me the sakinah.' So he put it in my heart and closed the opening. Then one of them said to the other: 'Weigh him according to the weight of his ummah (followers).' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'When I look at the ummah above me, I am afraid that some of them may come over me.' He said: 'If his ummah were to be weighed against him, they would outweigh him. Then they went away and left me.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'I felt a great split' then I went to my mother and told her about what had happened to me. She was afraid that I had been bewitched, so she brought a camel and made me ride behind her on it until we reached my mother. She said: 'Have you fulfilled your trust and discharged your duty?' I told her all that had happened to me, and that did not surprise her. She said: 'When you were delivered from me, I saw a light issuing from me that illuminated the castles of Syria.'"  

أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُمْ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ كَيْفَ كَانَ أَوَّلُ شَأْنِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ كَانَتْ حَاضِنَتِي مِنْ بَنِي سَعْدِ بْنِ بَكْرٍ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَابْنٌ لَهَا فِي بُهْمٍ لَنَا وَلَمْ نَأْخُذْ مَعَنَا زَادًا فَقُلْتُ يَا أَخِي اذْهَبْ فَأْتِنَا بِزَادٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ أُمِّنَا فَانْطَلَقَ أَخِي وَمَكَثْتُ عِنْدَ الْبُهْمِ فَأَقْبَلَ طَائِرَانِ أَبْيَضَانِ كَأَنَّهُمَا نَسْرَانِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ أَهُوَ هُوَ؟ قَالَ الْآخَرُ نَعَمْ فَأَقْبَلَا يَبْتَدِرَانِي فَأَخَذَانِي فَبَطَحَانِي لِلْقَفَا فَشَقَّا بَطْنِي ثُمَّ اسْتَخْرَجَا قَلْبِي فَشَقَّاهُ فَأَخْرَجَا مِنْهُ عَلَقَتَيْنِ سَوْدَاوَيْنِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ ائْتِنِي بِمَاءٍ ثَلْجٍ فَغَسَلَ بِهِ جَوْفِي ثُمَّ قَالَ ائْتِنِي بِمَاءٍ بَرَدٍ فَغَسَلَ بِهِ قَلْبِي ثُمَّ قَالَ ائْتِنِي بِالسَّكِينَةِ فَذَرَّهُ فِي قَلْبِي ثُمَّ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ حُصْهُ فَحَاصَهُ وَخَتَمَ عَلَيْهِ بِخَاتَمِ النُّبُوَّةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ اجْعَلْهُ فِي كِفَّةٍ وَاجْعَلْ أَلْفًا مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ فِي كِفَّةٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا أَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْأَلْفِ فَوْقِي أُشْفِقُ أَنْ يَخِرَّ عَلَيَّ بَعْضُهُمْ فَقَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ أُمَّتَهُ وُزِنَتْ بِهِ لَمَالَ بِهِمْ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَا وَتَرَكَانِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَفَرِقْتُ فَرَقًا شَدِيدًا ثُمَّ انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى أُمِّي فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا بِالَّذِي لَقِيتُ فَأَشْفَقَتْ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدِ الْتُبِسَ بِي فَقَالَتْ أُعِيذُكَ بِاللَّهِ فَرَحَّلَتْ بَعِيرًا لَهَا فَجَعَلَتْنِي عَلَى الرَّحْلِ وَرَكِبَتْ خَلْفِي حَتَّى بَلَغْنَا إِلَى أُمِّي فَقَالَتْ أَدَّيْتُ أَمَانَتِي وَذِمَّتِي وَحَدَّثَتْهَا بِالَّذِي لَقِيتُ فَلَمْ يَرُعْهَا ذَلِكَ وَقَالَتْ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ حِينَ خَرَجَ مِنِّي شَيْئًا يَعْنِي نُورًا أَضَاءَتْ مِنْهُ قُصُورُ الشَّامِ  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, how did you come to know that you are a prophet until you were certain?" He said, "O Abu Dharr, two angels came to me while I was at one of the hills of Makkah and one of them fell to the ground while the other was between the sky and the earth. One of them said to his companion, 'Is it him?' His companion replied, 'Yes.' Then he said, 'Weigh him against a man.' So I was weighed against him, and I outweighed him. Then he said, 'Weigh him against ten,' and I outweighed them. Then he said, 'Weigh him against one hundred,' and I outweighed them. Then he said, 'Weigh him against one thousand,' and I outweighed them. It was as if I could see them being scattered due to the light weight of the scale. Then one of them said to his companion, 'If you were to weigh him against his entire Ummah (nation), he would outweigh them.'"  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ نَبِيٌّ حَتَّى اسْتَيْقَنْتَ؟ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَتَانِي مَلَكَانِ وَأَنَا بِبَعْضِ بَطْحَاءِ مَكَّةَ فَوَقَعَ أَحَدُهُمَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَكَانَ الْآخَرُ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ أَهُوَ هُوَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ زِنْهُ بِرَجُلٍ فَوُزِنْتُ بِهِ فَوَزَنْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ فَزِنْهُ بِعَشَرَةٍ فَوُزِنْتُ بِهِمْ فَرَجَحْتُهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ زِنْهُ بِمِائَةٍ فَوُزِنْتُ بِهِمْ فَرَجَحْتُهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ زِنْهُ بِأَلْفٍ فَوُزِنْتُ بِهِمْ فَرَجَحْتُهُمْ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَنْتَثِرُونَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ خِفَّةِ الْمِيزَانِ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ لَوْ وَزَنْتَهُ بِأُمَّتِهِ لَرَجَحَهَا  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to call out to them, "O people, I am only a bestowed mercy."  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يُنَادِيهِمْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّمَا أَنَا رَحْمَةٌ مُهْدَاةٌ»  

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and a Bedouin approached. When he came closer, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Where do you intend to go?" He replied, "To my family." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Do you have any good? " He asked, "What is it?" He said, "Testify that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Who will testify to what you say?" He replied, "This staff will testify." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called the staff while it was at the edge of the valley, and it approached, taking steps on the ground until it stood before him. Then he asked it to testify three times, and it witnessed three times that what he said was true. After that, it returned to its original place, and the Bedouin returned to his people and said, "If you follow me, I have brought them to you. Otherwise, I will come back and be with you."  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَأَقْبَلَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنْهُ قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ؟» قَالَ إِلى أَهْلِي قَالَ «هَلْ لَكَ فِي خَيْرٍ؟» قَالَ وَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ «تَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» فَقَالَ وَمَنْ يَشْهَدُ عَلَى مَا تَقُولُ؟ قَالَ «هَذِهِ السَّلَمَةُ» فَدَعَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهِيَ بِشَاطِئِ الْوَادِي فَأَقْبَلَتْ تَخُدُّ الْأَرْضَ خَدًّا حَتَّى قَامَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَاسْتَشْهَدَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَشَهِدَتْ ثَلَاثًا أَنَّهُ كَمَا قَالَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ إِلَى مَنْبَتِهَا وَرَجَعَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ وَقَالَ إِنِ اتَّبَعُونِي أَتَيْتُكَ بِهِمْ وَإِلَّا رَجَعْتُ فَكُنْتُ مَعَكَ  

[Machine] "I went on a journey with the Prophet ﷺ, and he used to not relieve himself until he disappeared, so he couldn't be seen. We descended into an area without trees or landmarks. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'O Jabir, make water in your waterskin and then set out with us.' So we set out until we couldn't see anything, and suddenly there were two trees with a four-arm gap between them. He said, 'O Jabir, go to that tree and say, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commands you to give me shade for my companions and me.'' So I did, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat behind us. Then we returned to our place, and we rode with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was between us, as if birds were shading us. A woman came with a child and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, the devil takes my son every day three times.' He took the child and placed him between himself and the front of the camel saddle, and he said, 'Get away, O enemy of Allah! I am the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, get away, O enemy of Allah! I am the Messenger of Allah ﷺ,' three times. Then he handed the child back to her. When we finished our journey and passed by that place, the woman came to us with her child and two rams that were pulling them. She said, 'O Messenger of Allah, accept my gift. I swear by the One who sent you with the truth, he has not returned to that condition since you treated him.' He said, 'Take one and return the other.' Then we continued and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was between us, as if birds were shading us. Suddenly, a camel called out until it knelt down between two rocks. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat down and said, 'Who is the owner of this camel?' Some young Ansar men said, 'O Messenger of Allah, it belongs to us.' He asked, 'What is its condition?' They replied, 'We have been tending it for twenty years, and it has a cataract. We wanted to slaughter it and divide it amongst ourselves, but it escaped from us.' He said, 'Sell it to me.' They said, 'No, rather it is for you, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'No, treat it well until its time comes.' The Muslims said at that time, 'O Messenger of Allah, we should be the ones to prostrate to you, not animals.' He said, 'It is not appropriate for anything to prostrate to anything else, even if it were so, women would be prostrating to their husbands.'"  

خَرَجْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ وَكَانَ لَا يَأْتِي الْبَرَازَ حَتَّى يَتَغَيَّبَ فَلَا يُرَى فَنَزَلْنَا بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَجَرَةٌ وَلَا عَلَمٌ فَقَالَ «يَا جَابِرُ اجْعَلْ فِي إِدَاوَتِكَ مَاءً ثُمَّ انْطَلِقْ بِنَا» قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْنَا حَتَّى لَا نُرَى فَإِذَا هُوَ بِشَجَرَتَيْنِ بَيْنَهُمَا أَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ فَقَالَ يَا جَابِرُ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَقُلْ يُقُولُ لَكِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحَقِي بِصَاحِبَتِكِ حَتَّى أَجْلِسَ خَلْفَكُمَا قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهَا فَجَلَسَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَلْفَهُمَا ثُمَّ رَجَعَتَا إِلَى مَكَانِهِمَا فَرَكِبْنَا مَعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ بَيْنَنَا كَأَنَّمَا عَلَيْنَا الطَّيْرُ تُظِلُّنَا فَعَرَضَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ مَعَهَا صَبِيٌّ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ ابْنِي هَذَا يَأْخُذُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ قَالَ فَتَنَاوَلَ الصَّبِيَّ فَجَعَلَهُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ مُقَدَّمِ الرَّحْلِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اخْسَأْ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اخْسَأْ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ أَنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثًا» ثُمَّ دَفَعَهُ إِلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا سَفَرَنَا مَرَرْنَا بِذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ فَعَرَضَتْ لَنَا الْمَرْأَةُ مَعَهَا صَبِيُّهَا وَمَعَهَا كَبْشَانِ تَسُوقُهُمَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اقْبَلْ مِنِّي هَدِيَّتِي فَوَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا عَادَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْدُ فَقَالَ «خُذُوا مِنْهَا وَاحِدًا وَرُدُّوا عَلَيْهَا الْآخَرَ» قَالَ ثُمَّ سِرْنَا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَنَا كَأَنَّمَا عَلَيْنَا الطَّيْرُ تُظِلُّنَا فَإِذَا جَمَلٌ نَادٌّ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بَيْنَ سِمَاطَيْنِ خَرَّ سَاجِدًا فَجَلَسَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلَّى اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وسلَّمَ وَقَالَ عَلَيَّ النَّاسَ «مَنْ صَاحِبُ الْجَمَلِ؟» فَإِذَا فِتْيَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا هُوَ لَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَمَا شَأْنُهُ؟» قَالُوا اسْتَنَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ مُنْذُ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً وَكَانَتْ بِهِ شُحَيْمَةٌ فَأَرَدْنَا أنْ نَنْحَرَهُ فَنَقْسِمَهُ بَيْنَ غِلْمَانِنَا فَانْفَلَتَ مِنَّا قَالَ «بِيعُونِيهِ» قَالُوا لَا بَلْ هُوَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «أَمَّا لَا فَأَحْسِنُوا إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ أَجَلُهُ» قَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِالسُّجُودِ لَكَ مِنَ الْبَهَائِمِ قَالَ «لَا يَنْبَغِي لِشَيْءٍ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِشَيْءٍ وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ النِّسَاءُ لِأَزْوَاجِهِنَّ»  

[Machine] We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until we reached a wall in the Tribe of Najjar. There was a camel there that no one could enter the wall except by pulling it aside. We mentioned this to the Prophet ﷺ , so he came and called it. It came and kneeled down in front of him until he patted its head. Then he said, "Bring me a rope." He tied it and handed it over to its owner. Then he turned and said, "There is no one from the heavens to the Earth who does not know that I am the Messenger of Allah, except for the rebellious among the jinn and humans."  

أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى دُفِعْنَا إِلَى حَائِطٍ فِي بَنِي النَّجَّارِ فَإِذَا فِيهِ جَمَلٌ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْحَائِطَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا شَدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَتَاهُ فَدَعَاهُ فَجَاءَ وَاضِعًا مِشْفَرَهُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى بَرَكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ «هَاتُوا خِطَامًا» فَخَطَمَهُ وَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ فَقَالَ «مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَّا عَاصِيَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنْسِ»  

that a woman came with her child to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, he has a madness and it comes to him while we're having lunch and dinner and he ruins them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wiped over his chest and made duʿāʾ for him and he vomited and something similar to a black jirw/jarw (a predator or a young dog) came out of his abdomen and it hurried away.  

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً جَاءَتْ بِابْنٍ لَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ ابْنِي بِهِ جُنُونٌ وَإِنَّهُ يَأْخُذُهُ عِنْدَ غَدَائِنَا وَعَشَائِنَا فَيُخَبَّثُ عَلَيْنَا فَمَسَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَدْرَهُ وَدَعَا فَثَعَّ ثَعَّةً وَخَرَجَ مِنْ جَوْفِهِ مِثْلُ الْجِرْوِ الْأَسْوَدِ فَسَعَى»  

I recognise the stone in Mecca which used to pay me salutations before my advent as a Prophet and I recognise that even now. (Using translation from Muslim 2277)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ حَجَرًا بِمَكَّةَ كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُبْعَثَ إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُهُ الْآنَ»  

[Machine] "We were with the Prophet ﷺ in Makkah, and we went out with him in some of its regions. We passed by mountains and trees, and we did not pass by a tree or a mountain except that he said, 'Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah.'"  

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ فَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ فِي بَعْضِ نَوَاحِيهَا فَمَرَرْنَا بَيْنَ الْجِبَالِ وَالشَّجَرِ فَلَمْ نَمُرَّ بِشَجَرَةٍ وَلَا جَبَلٍ إِلَّا قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the Fajr prayer when suddenly he saw a pack of nearly a hundred wolves approaching. The wolves' fangs were bared and their eyes were red with hunger. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them, "Will you give up some of your food to satisfy them and ensure safety for everything else?" They complained about their need to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he said, "Give them permission." So they allowed the wolves to come forward, and the wolves left while howling.  

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْفَجْرَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِقَرِيبٍ مِنْ مِائَةِ ذِئْبٍ قَدْ أَقْعَيْنَ وُفُودُ الذِّئَابِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَرَضَّخُونَ لَهُمْ شَيْئًا مِنْ طَعَامِكُمْ وَتَأْمَنُونَ عَلَى مَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ؟» فَشَكَوْا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحَاجَةَ قَالَ «فَآذِنُوهُنَّ» قَالَ فَآذَنُوهُنَّ فَخَرَجْنَ وَلَهُنَّ عُوَاءٌ  

[Machine] Gabriel came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was sitting in distress, with blood on him from the actions of the people of Mecca from the Quraysh. Gabriel, peace be upon him, said, "O Messenger of Allah, would you like me to show you a sign?" He said, "Yes." So he looked at a tree behind him and said, "Call it." So he called it and it came and stood in front of him. He said, "Turn it back." So he commanded it and it returned. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "That is enough for me, that is enough for me."  

جَاءَ جِبْرِيلُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ حَزِينٌ وَقَدْ تَخَضَّبَ بِالدَّمِ مِنْ فِعْلِ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَقَالَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أُرِيَكَ آيَةً؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» فَنَظَرَ إِلَى شَجَرَةٍ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ فَقَالَ ادْعُ بِهَا فَدَعَا بِهَا فَجَاءَتْ وَقَامَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ مُرْهَا فَلْتَرْجِعْ فَأَمَرَهَا فَرَجَعَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «حَسْبِي حَسْبِي»  

[Machine] A man from the Banu Amr came to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) and the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "Shall I show you a miracle?" He said, "Yes." He said, "Go and call that palm tree." So, he called it and it came hopping between his hands. He said, "Tell it to go back." Messenger of Allah (pbuh) told it, "Go back." So, it went back until it returned to its place. He said, "O Banu Amr, I have never seen a man more knowledgeable in magic than him today."  

أَتَى رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَلَا أُرِيكَ آيَةً؟» قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ «فَاذْهَبْ فَادْعُ تِلْكَ النَّخْلَةَ» فَدَعَاهَا فَجَاءَتْ تَنْقُزُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ قُلْ لَهَا تَرْجِعْ قَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «ارْجِعِي» فَرَجَعَتْ حَتَّى عَادَتْ إِلَى مَكَانِهَا فَقَالَ يَا بَنِي عَامِرٍ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا كَالْيَوْمِ أَسْحَرَ مِنْهُ  

[Machine] The Prophet (ﷺ) called Bilal and asked him to fetch water. Bilal went to find water but returned saying, "No, by Allah, I did not find any water." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Then is there any container?" So, they brought a container and the Prophet (ﷺ) stretched out his hands in it, and water started flowing from underneath his palms. Ibn Mas'ud and others drank from it, and others performed ablution.  

دَعَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِلَالًا فَطَلَبَ بِلَالٌ الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ مَا وَجَدْتُ الْمَاءَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «فَهَلْ مِنْ شَنٍّ؟» فَأَتَاهُ بِشَنٍّ «فَبَسَطَ كَفَّيْهِ فِيهِ فَانْبَعَثَتْ تَحْتَ يَدَيْهِ عَيْنٌ» قَالَ فَكَانَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ يَشْرَبُ وَغَيْرُهُ يَتَوَضَّأُ  

[Machine] On the authority of Nubayh al-Anzi, he said: Jabir ibn Abdullah reported that we went on a military expedition or a journey with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while our group consisted of around twelve hundred people. The time for prayer arrived and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Is there anyone among you who has water for purification?" A man came running with a container in which there was some water that no one else among the group had. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the container and poured the water into a utensil. He then performed ablution excellently with that water and then left the utensil. The people gathered around that utensil and said, "Rub your faces with it! Rub your faces with it!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Use it on your hands." When he heard them saying that, he placed his palms into the water and the utensil and said, "In the name of Allah." Then he said, "Pour the water for purification." By the One who has control over my life, I saw water flowing between the fingers of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I swear that he did not lift his hands until all of us had performed ablution.  

عَنْ نُبَيْحٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ غَزَوْنَا أَوْ سَافَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ وَمِائَتَانِ فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَلْ فِي الْقَوْمِ مِنْ طَهُورٍ؟» فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ يَسْعَى بِإِدَاوَةٍ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ لَيْسَ فِي الْقَوْمِ مَاءٌ غَيْرُهُ فَصَبَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي قَدَحٍ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَتَرَكَ الْقَدَحَ فَرَكِبَ النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ الْقَدَحَ وَقَالُوا تَمَسَّحُوا تَمَسَّحُوا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «عَلَى رِسْلِكُمْ» حِينَ سَمِعَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ ذَلِكَ «فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَفَّهُ فِي الْمَاءِ وَالْقَدَحِ» وَقَالَ «بِسْمِ اللَّهِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَسْبِغُوا الطُّهُورَ» فَوَالَّذِي هُوَ ابْتَلَانِي بِبَصَرِي لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ الْعُيُونَ عُيُونَ الْمَاءِ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِهِ فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهَا حَتَّى تَوَضَّئُوا أَجْمَعُونَ  

[Machine] We became thirsty, so we rushed and went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He placed his hand in a container and kept stirring it as if there were springs flowing from between his fingers. He said, "Mention the name of Allah." So we drank until we were satisfied and had enough. In the narration of Amr ibn Murrah, we asked Jabir, "How many of you were there?" He said, "We were fifteen hundred. And even if we were a hundred thousand, it would have sufficed us."  

أَصَابَنَا عَطَشٌ فَجَهَشْنَا فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي تَوْرٍ فَجَعَلَ يَفُورُ كَأَنَّهُ عُيُونٌ مِنْ خَلَلِ أَصَابِعِهِ» وَقَالَ «اذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ» فَشَرِبْنَا حَتَّى وَسِعَنَا وَكَفَانَا وَفِي حَدِيثِ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ فَقُلْنَا لِجَابِرٍ كَمْ كُنْتُمْ؟ قَالَ كُنَّا أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِائَةٍ وَلَوْ كُنَّا مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ لَكَفَانَا  

[Machine] The companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ complained to him about their thirst. So he called for a 'uss' (a container made from skin or leather) and water was poured into it. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ then placed his hand in it and said, "I saw water gushing out between the fingers of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and the people drank from it until all of them had their fill."  

شَكَا أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعَطَشَ فَدَعَا بِعُسٍّ فَصُبَّ فِيهِ مَاءٌ وَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ فِيهِ قَالَ «فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْمَاءِ يَنْبُعُ عُيُونًا مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالنَّاسُ يَسْتَقُونَ حَتَّى اسْتَقَى النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ»  

[Machine] We, the companions of Muhammad (pbuh), used to recite the verses as a blessed act, while you recite them with fear. One day, while we were with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), we did not have any water. So the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "Find someone who has water." So water was brought and poured into a vessel. Then he placed his hand in it, and water started flowing from between his fingers. Then he said, "Blessed and purified water, as a blessing from Allah the Almighty." Then we drank from it. Abdullah said, "We used to hear the praising of food while it was being eaten."  

كُنَّا أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ نَعُدُّ الْآيَاتِ بَرَكَةً وَأَنْتُمْ تَعُدُّونَهَا تَخْوِيفًا إِنَّا بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ليْسَ مَعَنَا مَاءٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اطْلُبُوا مَنْ مَعَهُ فَضْلُ مَاءٍ» فَأُتِيَ بِمَاءٍ فَصَبَّهُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ كَفَّهُ فِيهِ فَجَعَلَ الْمَاءُ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «حَيَّ عَلَى الطَّهُورِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَالْبَرَكَةِ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى» فَشَرِبْنَا قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ تَسْبِيحَ الطَّعَامِ وَهُوَ يُؤْكَلُ  

[Machine] "The earth shook during the time of Abdullah, and it was reported to him. He said, 'Indeed, we, the companions of Muhammad ﷺ , used to see the signs as blessings, while you see them as terrifying.'"  

زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ عَلَى عَهْدِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَأُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّا كُنَّا أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ نَرَى الْآيَاتِ بَرَكَاتٍ وَأَنْتُمْ تَرَوْنَهَا تَخْوِيفًا»  

[Machine] The translation of the given Arabic sentence is: "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to deliver sermons while leaning against a trunk, and when he built the pulpit, the trunk longed for him until he came and touched it."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ «يَخْطُبُ إِلَى جِذْعٍ فَلَمَّا اتَّخَذَ الْمِنْبَرَ حَنَّ الْجِذْعُ حَتَّى أَتَاهُ فَمَسَحَهُ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to stand up and extend his standing when he would give a sermon. It was difficult for him to stand for long periods, so a tree trunk was brought for him and a hole was dug for it, and a stand was set up beside it for the Prophet ﷺ to lean on. So, when the Prophet ﷺ would give a sermon, he would lean on it and rest. Once, a man who had just arrived in Medina saw him standing next to that tree trunk, and he said to the people with him, "If I knew that Muhammad praises me for something that I do, I would make him a seat to sit on, and if he wants to, he can sit, and if he wants to, he can stand." When the Prophet ﷺ heard about this, he said, "Bring him to me." They brought the man to him, and he was told to make these three or four platforms, which are now in the pulpit of the mosque in Medina. The Prophet ﷺ found comfort in them. When the Prophet ﷺ left the trunk and turned towards the platforms that were made for him, the trunk moaned and groaned like a camel when it is separated from its young.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا خَطَبَ قَامَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ فَكَانَ يَشُقُّ عَلَيْهِ قِيَامُهُ فَأُتِيَ بِجِذْعِ نَخْلَةٍ فَحُفِرَ لَهُ وَأُقِيمَ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ قَائِمًا لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا خَطَبَ فَطَالَ الْقِيَامُ عَلَيْهِ اسْتَنَدَ إِلَيْهِ فَاتَّكَأَ عَلَيْهِ فَبَصُرَ بِهِ رَجُلٌ كَانَ وَرَدَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَرَآهُ قَائِمًا إِلَى جَنْبِ ذَلِكَ الْجِذْعِ فَقَالَ لِمَنْ يَلِيهِ مِنَ النَّاسِ لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا يَحْمَدُنِي فِي شَيْءٍ يَرْفُقُ بِهِ لَصَنَعْتُ لَهُ مَجْلِسًا يَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ شَاءَ جَلَسَ مَا شَاءَ وَإِنْ شَاءَ قَامَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «ائْتُونِي بِهِ» فَأَتَوْهُ بِهِ فَأُمِرَهُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ لَهُ هَذِهِ الْمَرَاقِيَ الثَّلَاثَ أَوِ الْأَرْبَعَ هِيَ الْآنَ فِي مِنْبَرِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَوَجَدَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ رَاحَةً فَلَمَّا فَارَقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْجِذْعَ وَعَمَدَ إِلَى هَذِهِ الَّتِي صُنِعَتْ لَهُ جَزِعَ الْجِذْعُ فَحَنَّ كَمَا تَحِنُّ النَّاقَةُ حِينَ فَارَقَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) used to stand near a tree trunk before the pulpit was set up. When the pulpit was finally installed, he missed that tree trunk. We could hear his longing for it. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) then placed his hand on it, and he became calm."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُومُ إِلَى جِذْعٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُجْعَلَ الْمِنْبَرُ فَلَمَّا جُعِلَ الْمِنْبَرُ حَنَّ ذَلِكَ الْجِذْعُ حَتَّى سَمِعْنَا حَنِينَهُ فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَسَكَنَ»  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ used to deliver his sermons to a wooden platform, and when the pulpit was built, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat on it. Hanin al-Ashtar clung to it until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed his hand on her and she became calm."  

«كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ إِلَى خَشَبَةٍ فَلَمَّا صُنِعَ الْمِنْبَرُ فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَنَّتْ حَنِينَ الْعِشَارِ حَتَّى وَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا فَسَكَنَتْ»  

[Machine] "The wooden crib misses the camel's calves."  

«حَنَّتِ الْخَشَبَةُ حَنِينَ النَّاقَةِ الْخَلُوجِ»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray facing the trunk of a date- palm tree when the mosque was still a hut, and he used to deliver the sermon leaning on that trunk. A man from among his Companions said: ‘Would you like us to make you something upon which you can stand on Fridays so that the people will be able to see you and hear your sermon?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ So he made three steps for him, as a pulpit. When they put the pulpit in place, they put it in the place where it stands now. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to stand on the pulpit, he passed by the tree trunk from which he used to deliver the sermon, and when he went beyond the trunk, it moaned and split and cracked. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came down when he heard the voice of the trunk, and rubbed it with his hand until it fell silent. Then he went back to the pulpit and when he prayed, he prayed facing it. When the mosque was knocked down (for renovation) and (the pillars, etc.) were changed, Ubayy bin Ka’b took that trunk and kept it in his house until it became very old and the termites consumed it and it became grains of dust.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1414)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي إِلَى جِذْعٍ وَيَخْطُبُ إِلَيْهِ إِذْ كَانَ الْمَسْجِدُ عَرِيشًا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ أَلَا نَجْعَلُ لَكَ عَرِيشًا تَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ يَرَاكَ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَتُسْمِعُ مِنْ خُطْبَتِكَ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» فَصُنِعَ لَهُ الثَّلَاثُ دَرَجَاتٍ هُنَّ اللَّوَاتِي عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَلَمَّا صُنِعَ الْمِنْبَرُ وَوُضِعَ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ الَّذِي وَضَعَهُ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «فَلَمَّا جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُرِيدُ الْمِنْبَرَ مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَهُ خَارَ الْجِذْعُ حَتَّى تَصَدَّعَ وَانْشَقَّ فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَمَسَحَهُ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى سَكَنَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ» قَالَ فَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى صَلَّى إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا هُدِمَ الْمَسْجِدُ أَخَذَ ذَلِكَ الْجِذْعَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى بَلِيَ فأكلتْهُ الْأَرَضَةُ وَعَادَ رُفَاتًا  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to give sermons on a wooden pulpit. Then a Roman man came to him and said, "I will make a pulpit for you to deliver sermons on." So he made a pulpit for him. When the Prophet ﷺ stood on it to deliver a sermon, the pulpit lamented like a mother camel missing her child. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came down from the pulpit and hugged it, and it then became quiet. He ordered that it be dug up and buried.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ إِلَى لِزْقِ جِذْعٍ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ رُومِيٌّ فَقَالَ أَصْنَعُ لَكَ مِنْبَرًا تَخْطُبُ عَلَيْهِ فَصَنَعَ لَهُ مِنْبَرًا هَذَا الَّذِي تَرَوْنَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَامَ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ حَنَّ الْجِذْعُ حَنِينَ النَّاقَةِ إِلَى وَلَدِهَا فَنَزَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَضَمَّهُ إِلَيْهِ فَسَكَنَ فَأُمِرَ بِهِ أَنْ يُحْفَرَ لَهُ وَيُدْفَنَ  

[Machine] When the Prophet ﷺ arrived in Medina, he leaned his back against a wooden board and started talking to the people. They gathered around him, so the Prophet ﷺ wanted them to hear him well. He said, "Build something for me to stand on." They asked, "O Prophet of Allah, how should we build it?" He said, "Build it like the Arish of Musa (Moses), so they built it for him." Al-Hasan said, "By Allah, the wooden board became honored." Al-Hasan said, "Glory be to Allah, is the seeking of the hearts of the people through hearing?" Abu Muhammad (Imam Malik) means this.  

أَنْ قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ جَعَلَ يُسْنِدُ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى خَشَبَةٍ وَيُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ فَكَثُرُوا حَوْلَهُ فَأَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يُسْمِعَهُمْ فَقَالَ «ابْنُوا لِي شَيْئًا أَرْتَفِعُ عَلَيْهِ» قَالُوا كَيْفَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «عَرِيشٌ كَعَرِيشِ مُوسَى فَلَمَّا أَنْ بَنَوْا لَهُ» قَالَ الْحَسَنُ حَنَّتْ وَاللَّهِ الْخَشَبَةُ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ هَلْ تُبْتَغَى قُلُوبُ قَوْمٍ سَمِعُوا؟ قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي هَذَا  

“If I had not embraced it, it would have continued to grieve until the Day of Resurrection.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1415)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَخْطُبُ إِلَى جِذْعٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَلَمَّا اتَّخَذَ الْمِنْبَرَ وَتَحَوَّلَ إِلَيْهِ حَنَّ الْجِذْعُ فَاحْتَضَنَهُ فَسَكَنَ وَقَالَ «لَوْ لَمْ أَحْتَضِنْهُ لَحَنَّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Anas through another chain of transmitters. (Using translation from Muslim 2309b)  

عَنْ أَنَسٍ بِمِثْلِهِ  

[Machine] "The wooden stick that was standing by it softened, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to it, placed his hand on it, and it became calm."  

«حَنَّتِ الْخَشَبَةُ الَّتِي كَانَ يَقُومُ عِنْدَهَا فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَيْهَا وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا فَسَكَنَتْ»  

that the Prophet ﷺ used to stand on Fridays, leaning his back against the trunk of a palm tree in the mosque, and he would address the people. Once, a Roman came and said, "Shall I not make something for you to sit on, so it would appear as if you are standing?" So, he made a minbar (pulpit) with two steps, and the Prophet ﷺ sat on the third step.

When the Prophet ﷺ sat on that pulpit, the palm tree trunk moaned like a grieving camel, to the extent that the mosque seemed to shake in sorrow ˹longing˺ for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ descended from the pulpit and embraced the trunk, which continued to moan. The Prophet ﷺ consoled it until it became still. Then he said, "By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, if I had not embraced it, it would have continued moaning like this until the Day of Resurrection, out of longing for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." Then he ordered that it be removed, and it was buried.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُومُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَيُسْنِدُ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى جِذْعٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَيَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ فَجَاءَهُ رُومِيٌّ فَقَالَ: أَلَا أَصْنَعُ لَكَ شَيْئًا تَقْعُدُ عَلَيْهِ وَكَأَنَّكَ قَائِمٌ؟ فَصَنَعَ لَهُ مِنْبَرًا لَهُ دَرَجَتَانِ وَيَقْعُدُ عَلَى الثَّالِثَةِ۔

فَلَمَّا قَعَدَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهُ ﷺ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْمِنْبَرِ خَارَ الْجِذْعُ كَخُوَارِ الثَّوْرِ حَتَّى ارْتَجَّ الْمَسْجِدُ حُزْنًا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ۔ فَنَزَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْمِنْبَرِ فَالْتَزَمَهُ وَهُوَ يَخُورُ۔ فَلَمَّا الْتَزَمَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَكَنَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْ لَمْ أَلْتَزِمْهُ لَمَا زَالَ هَكَذَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ حُزْنًا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ» فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَدُفِنَ۔  

[Machine] "On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I heard him say concerning you: Jabir reported that we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the Battle of the Trench and we were digging it. We stayed for three days without eating any food or being able to do so. A dish appeared in the Trench, so I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, a dish has appeared in the Trench.' He got up with his stomach swollen and tied up with a stone, took the wood or skewer, and then called it three times. It became full of cooked meat as a result. When I saw this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, allow me.' He granted me permission, so I came to my wife and said, 'May your mother lose you! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ with his companions has come to you.' She said, 'Did the Prophet ﷺ ask you how much food you have?' I said, 'Yes.' She said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best. You informed him about what we had.' Some of what I had became less, and I said, 'You have told the truth.' The Prophet ﷺ came, so I entered, stayed for a while, and then sought permission for the second time. He granted me permission, so I came and found that the dough had risen. I commanded her to bake bread while I placed the pot on the bed. Abu 'Abdur-Rahman said: 'It was called al-Athaafiyyah, but this is what he said.' Then I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'We have some dough, so if you see fit, you and one or two men with you may join us.' He said, 'How much is it?' I said, 'A saa' (a measure of volume) of barley and a lamb.' He said, 'Go back to your family and tell her not to remove the pot from the oven or take the bread out of the oven until I come.' Then he said to the people, 'Go to the house of Jabir.' I felt shy in a way that only Allah knew, so I said to my wife, 'May your mother lose you! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has come with all his companions.' She said, 'Did the Prophet ﷺ ask you how much food you have?' I said, 'Yes.' She said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best. You informed him about what we had.' I said, 'You have told the truth.' The Prophet ﷺ came and then referred to the oven and the pot, making supplications for them. We started taking bread from the oven and meat from the pot and distributing it to the people. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Let seven or eight men sit around the plates.' When they finished eating, we uncovered the oven and the pot, and they were still full of food. We used to continue doing this every time we opened the oven and uncovered the pot, and we found them still full. All the Muslims were satiated, and there remained a portion of food. The Prophet ﷺ said to us, 'The people have been afflicted by famine. Eat and feed others.' We did not spend a day without eating and feeding (others). Ayman said: 'I do not know which of the two (number of people) he mentioned.'"

[Machine] Abu Talha commanded Umm Sulaim to prepare food for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he could eat. Then Abu Talha sent me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so I went to him and said, "Abu Talha has sent me to you." He ordered the people to stand up, so they stood up and Abu Talha said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have made this food specifically for you." He replied, "No, go ahead." So I left and the people left with me. Abu Talha said, "Bring the food." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed his hand on it and invoked Allah's blessings upon it, then he said, "Give permission to ten people." He gave them permission and said, "Eat in the name of Allah." They ate until they were full and then they got up. He placed his hand on it as he had done previously, invoked Allah's blessings upon it, and then said, "Give permission to ten people." He gave them permission and said, "Eat in the name of Allah." They ate until they were full and then they got up. He did this with eighty men. He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ate, and the people of his household ate, and they left some food."  

أَمَرَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ طَعَامًا يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ بَعَثَنِي أَبُو طَلْحَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ بَعَثَنِي إِلَيْكَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ فَقَالَ لِلْقَوْمِ «قُومُوا» فَانْطَلَقَ وَانْطَلَقَ الْقَوْمُ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا صَنَعْتُ طَعَامًا لِنَفْسِكَ خَاصَّةً؟ فَقَالَ «لَا عَلَيْكَ انْطَلِقْ» قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ وَانْطَلَقَ الْقَوْمُ قَالَ فَجِيءَ بِالطَّعَامِ فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ وَسَمَّى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ» قَالَ فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَقَالَ «كُلُوا بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ» فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ قَامُوا ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ كَمَا صَنَعَ فِي الْمَرَّةِ الْأُولَى وَسَمَّى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ» فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَقَالَ «كُلُوا بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ» فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ قَامُوا حَتَّى فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ بِثَمَانِينَ رَجُلًا قَالَ وَأَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ وَتَرَكُوا سُؤْرًا  

[Machine] "He cooked a pot of food for the Prophet ﷺ and the Prophet said to him, 'Serve me a forearm (portion) of it.' He was fond of the forearm, so he served him a forearm. Then he said, 'Serve me the forearm,' so he served him another forearm. Then he said, 'Serve me the forearm,' so I said, 'O Prophet of Allah, how many forearms does a sheep have?' He said, 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, if you had remained silent, I would have given you forearms as many as you asked for.'"  

أَنَّهُ طَبَخَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ قِدْرًا فَقَالَ لَهُ «نَاوِلْنِي ذِرَاعَهَا» وَكَانَ يُعْجِبُهُ الذِّرَاعُ فَنَاوَلَهُ الذِّرَاعَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَنَاوَلَهُ ذِرَاعًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ وَكَمْ لِلشَّاةِ مِنْ ذِرَاعٍ؟ فَقَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ أَنْ لَوْ سَكَتَّ لَأُعْطِيتُ أَذْرُعًا مَا دَعَوْتُ بِهِ»  

Narrated by Nubayh Al-Anzi, who narrated from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) went out to confront the polytheists in battle. My father, Abdullah, said to me, 'O Jabir, it's best for you to stay with the people of Medina to keep an eye on the situation until we know how things turn out. By Allah, if it weren't for leaving behind my daughters, I would have preferred for them to be killed in front of me.'While I was with the people of Medina, my paternal aunt came to me with my father and my uncle to bury them in our graves. Suddenly, a man approached and announced, 'The Prophet (peace be upon him) commands you to return the corpses and bury them in their own beds where they were killed.' So we exhumed their bodies and buried them in their beds where they were killed.During the caliphate of Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan, a man came to me and said, 'O Jabir ibn Abdullah, your father has stirred up some trouble regarding the dues owed to Muawiya.' Some of them set out to come to me, so I went to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, my father was wounded on such-and-such a day, and he left a debt from dates. Some of his creditors are pressing me, and I would like you to help me with it so that perhaps some of his dates might be paid from it.'He replied, 'Yes, I will come to you, if Allah wills, close to midday.' He came later with his companions and sat down in the shade. The Prophet (peace be upon him) greeted us and sought permission to enter. After entering, he said, 'I had told my wife earlier not to disturb me when I came to you, and not to hurt the feelings of anyone in your house.' So she had spread a bed for him and put a pillow on it, and he lay down and slept.I said to my servant, 'Slaughter some camels from the camels for me and prepare them quickly before the Prophet (peace be upon him) wakes up.' We did not finish preparing the food until the Prophet (peace be upon him) woke up. I thought that he would order us to slaughter the camels again and that we would be rebuked, but he didn't ask for that. Instead, he asked, 'Bring me some water for ablution.' I brought it to him, and he performed ablution.When he wanted to wash his face, I thought he would go to a nearby water-skin, but he washed his face in the basin I had brought. Then he wiped over his head and said, 'Bring me the food you prepared.' We brought the food, and he placed his hand in the food saying, 'In the name of Allah, eat.' They all ate till they were fully satisfied, and the meat was more than before.He said, 'By Allah, for whom I have my life, I was about to leave with my companions but I thought that I should not go until I have eaten from the meal of my brothers.' He said, 'O Jabir! Invite all the people who are present with you.' So I invited them, and they ate of the meal and thanked Allah.The Prophet (peace be upon him) remained sitting with his companions, and they moved closer to him, and they surrounded him, and he said, 'I am your predecessor at the Lake-Fount (Kauthar) and some men amongst you will be brought to me, and when I will try to hand them some water, they will be pulled away from me by force whereupon I will say, 'O Lord, my companions!' Then the Almighty will say, 'You do not know what they did after you left, they introduced new things into the religion after you.  

عَنْ نُبَيْحٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ لِيُقَاتِلَهُمْ فَقَالَ أَبِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَا جَابِرُ لَا عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ فِي نَظَّارِي أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى تَعْلَمَ إِلَى مَا يَصِيرُ أَمْرُنَا فَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَوْلَا أَنِّي أَتْرُكُ بَنَاتٍ لِي بَعْدِي لَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ تُقْتَلَ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا فِي النَّظَّارِينَ إِذْ جَاءَتْ عَمَّتِي بِأَبِي وَخَالِي لِتَدْفِنَهُمَا فِي مَقَابِرِنَا فَلَحِقَ رَجُلٌ يُنَادِي إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تَرُدُّوا الْقَتْلَى فَتَدْفِنُوهَا فِي مَضَاجِعِهَا حَيْثُ قُتِلَتْ» فَرَدَدْنَاهُمَا فَدَفَنَّاهُمَا فِي مَضْجَعِهِمَا حَيْثُ قُتِلَا فَبَيْنَا أَنَا فِي خِلَافَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ؓ إِذْ جَاءَنِي رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا جَابِرُ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَثَارَ أَبَاكَ عُمَّالُ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَبَدَا فَخَرَجَ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَوَجَدْتُهُ عَلَى النَّحْوِ الَّذِي دَفَنْتُهُ لَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ إِلَّا مَا لَمْ يَدَعِ الْقَتِيلَ قَالَ فَوَارَيْتُهُ وَتَرَكَ أَبِي عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا مِنِ التَّمْرِ فَاشْتَدَّ عَلَيَّ بَعْضُ غُرَمَائِهِ فِي التَّقَاضِي فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبِي أُصِيبَ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَإِنَّهُ تَرَكَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا مِنَ التَّمْرِ وَإِنَّهُ قَدِ اشْتَدَّ عَلَيَّ بَعْضُ غُرَمَائِهِ فِي الطَّلَبِ فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ تُعِينَنِي عَلَيْهِ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يُنْظِرَنِي طَائِفَةً مِنْ تَمْرِهِ إِلَى هَذَا الصِّرَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ قَالَ «نَعَمْ آتِيكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ وَسَطِ النَّهَارِ» قَالَ فَجَاءَ وَمَعَهُ حَوَارِيُّوهُ قَالَ فَجَلَسُوا فِي الظِّلِّ وَسَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاسْتَأْذَنَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا قَالَ وَقَدْ قُلْتُ لِامْرَأَتِي إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَاءَنِيَّ الْيَوْمَ وَسَطَ النَّهَارِ فَلَا يَرَيَنَّكِ وَلَا تُؤْذِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بَيْتِي بشيْءٍ وَلَا تُكَلِّمِيهِ فَفَرَشَتْ فِرَاشًا وَوِسَادَةً فَوَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَنَامَ فَقُلْتُ لِمَوْلًى لِي اذْبَحْ هَذِهِ الْعَنَاقَ وَهِيَ دَاجِنٌ سَمِينَةٌ فَالْوَحَا وَالْعَجَلَ افْرُغْ مِنْهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْتَيْقِظَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا مَعَكَ فَلَمْ نَزَلْ فِيهَا حَتَّى فَرَغْنَا مِنْهَا وَهُوَ نَائِمٌ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ يَسْتَيْقِظُ يَدْعُو بِطَهُورِهِ وَأَنَا أَخَافُ إِذَا فَرَغَ أَنْ يَقُومَ فَلَا يَفْرُغُ مِنْ طُهُورِهِ حَتَّى يُوضَعَ الْعَنَاقُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَلَمَّا اسْتَيْقَظَ قَالَ «يَا جَابِرُ ائْتِنِي بِطَهُورٍ» قَالَ نَعَمْ فَلَمْ يَفْرُغْ مِنْ وُضُوئِهِ حَتَّى وُضِعَتِ الْعَنَاقُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ «كَأَنَّكَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ حُبَّنَا اللَّحْمَ ادْعُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ» ثُمَّ دَعَا حَوَارِيِّيهِ قَالَ فَجِيءَ بِالطَّعَامِ فَوُضِعَ قَالَ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ وَقَالَ «بِسْمِ اللَّهِ كُلُوا» فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا وَفَضَلَ مِنْهَا لَحْمٌ كَثِيرٌ وَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ مَجْلِسَ بَنِي سَلَمَةَ لَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ هُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَعْيُنِهِمْ مَا يَقْرَبُونَهُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُؤْذُوهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ وَقَامَ أَصْحَابُهُ فَخَرَجُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ «خَلُّوا ظَهْرِي لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ» قَالَ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُمْ حَتَّى بَلَغْتُ أسكفَّةَ الْبَابِ فَأَخْرَجَتِ امْرَأَتِي صَدْرَهَا وَكَانَتْ سَتِيرَةً فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلِّ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى زَوْجِي قَالَ «صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ وَعَلَى زَوْجِكِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «ادْعُوا لِي فُلَانًا» لِلْغَرِيمِ الَّذِي اشْتَدَّ عَلَيَّ فِي الطَّلَبِ فَقَالَ «أَنْسِئْ جَابِرًا طَائِفَةً مِنْ دَيْنِكَ الَّذِي عَلَى أَبِيهِ إِلَى هَذَا الصِّرَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ» قَالَ مَا أَنَا بِفَاعِلٍ قَالَ وَاعْتَلَّ وَقَالَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ مَالُ يَتَامَى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَيْنَ جَابِرٌ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ أَنَا ذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «كِلْ لَهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى سَوْفَ يُوَفِّيهِ» فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَإِذَا الشَّمْسُ قَدْ دَلَكَتْ قَالَ «الصَّلَاةُ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ» فَانْدَفَعُوا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَقُلْتُ لِغَرِيمِي قَرِّبْ أَوْعِيَتَكَ فكِلْتُ لَهُ مِنَ الْعَجْوَةِ فَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ وَفَضَلَ لَنَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فَجِئْتُ أَسْعَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ كَأَنِّي شَرَارَةٌ فَوَجَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ صَلَّى فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ كِلْتُ لِغَرِيمِي تَمْرَهُ فَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ وَفَضَلَ لَنَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَيْنَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ؟» قَالَ فَجَاءَ يُهَرْوِلُ قَالَ «سَلْ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ غَرِيمِهِ وَتَمْرِهِ» قَالَ مَا أَنَا بِسَائِلِهِ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ سَوْفَ يُوَفِّيهِ إِذْ أَخْبَرْتَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ سَوْفَ يُوَفِّيهِ فَرَدَّدَ عَلَيْهِ وَرَدَّدَ عَلَيْهِ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ مَا أَنَا بِسَائِلِهِ وَكَانَ لَا يُرَاجِعُ بَعْدَ الْمَرَّةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَ غَرِيمُكَ وَتَمْرُكَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ وَفَضَلَ لَنَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى امْرَأَتِي فَقُلْتُ أَلَمْ أَكُنْ نَهَيْتُكِ أَنْ تُكَلِّمِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بَيْتِي؟ فَقَالَتْ تَظُنُّ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يُورِدُ نَبِيَّهُ فِي بيْتي ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ وَلَا أَسْأَلُهُ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى زَوْجِي؟  

[Machine] Indeed, Allah has preferred Muhammad ﷺ over the prophets, peace be upon them, and over the people of the heavens. They said, "O Ibn Abbas, in what way has Allah preferred him over the people of the heavens?" He said, "Indeed, Allah has said to the people of the heavens, 'And whoever says, "Indeed, I am a god other than Him," then that is the retribution for him, Hell. Thus do We recompense the wrongdoers.'" [Surah Al-Anbiya, verse 29] And Allah, the Exalted, has said to Muhammad ﷺ , "Indeed, We have granted you a clear conquest that Allah may forgive for you what preceded of your sin and what will follow." [Surah Al-Fath, verse 2] They said, "So what is his superiority over the prophets, peace be upon them?" He said, "Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has said, 'And We have not sent any messenger except in the language of his people to clarify for them.' [Surah Ibrahim, verse 4] And Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has said to Muhammad ﷺ , 'And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.'" [Surah Saba', verse 28] So, He sent him to the jinn and mankind.  

إِنَّ اللَّهَ فَضَّلَ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ عَلَى الْأَنْبِيَاءِ عليهم السلام وَعَلَى أَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ فَقَالُوا يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ بِمَ فَضَّلَهُ عَلَى أَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ؟ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ لِأَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ {وَمَنْ يَقُلْ مِنْهُمْ إِنِّي إِلَهٌ مِنْ دُونِهِ فَذَلِكَ نَجْزِيهِ جَهَنَّمَ كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الظَّالِمِينَ} [الأنبياء 29] الْآيَةَ وَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ {إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُبِينًا لِيَغْفِرَ لَكَ اللَّهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ} [الفتح 2] قَالُوا فَمَا فَضْلُهُ عَلَى الْأَنْبِيَاءِ عليهم السلام؟ قَالَ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ رَسُولٍ إِلَّا بِلِسَانِ قَوْمِهِ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمْ} [إبراهيم 4] الْآيَةَ وَقَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ {وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا كَافَّةً لِلنَّاسِ} [سبأ 28] فَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنْسِ  

that a group of people from the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat waiting for him. He said: "Then he came out, such that when he came close to them, he heard them talking, and he heard what they were saying. So some of them said: 'It's amazing that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has taken a Khalil (close friend) from His creation. He took Ibrahim as a Khalil.' And some of them said: 'That is not more amazing than speaking to Musa, He spoke to him with real speech.' And some said: 'And 'Eisa is the word of Allah and His Spirit.' And some said: 'Adam was chosen by Allah.' So he ﷺ came out upon them and said his Salam, and said: 'I have heard your words, and your amazement that Ibrahim is the Khalil of Allah, and he is such, and that Musa is the one spoken to by Allah, and he is such, and that 'Eisa is the spirit of Allah and His Word, and he is such, and that Adam was chosen by Allah, and he is such. Indeed I am the beloved of Allah and I am not boasting, and I am the carrier of the Banner of Praise on the Day of Judgement, and I am not boasting. And I am the first intercessor, and the first to have intercession accepted from him on the Day of Judgement, and I am not boasting. And I am the first to shake the rings of Paradise (meaning on the gates of Paradise) and so Allah will open it for me and admit me into it. And with me will be the poor people from the believers, and I am not boasting. And I am the most noble among the first ones and the last ones, and I am not boasting." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3616)  

جَلَسَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَنْتَظِرُونَهُ فَخَرَجَ حَتَّى إِذَا دَنَا مِنْهُمْ سَمِعَهُمْ يَتَذَاكَرُونَ فَتَسَمَّعَ حَدِيثَهُمْ فَإِذَا بَعْضُهُمْ يَقُولُ عَجَبًا إِنَّ اللَّهَ اتَّخَذَ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَلِيلًا فَإِبْرَاهِيمُ خَلِيلُهُ وَقَالَ آخَرُ مَاذَا بِأَعْجَبَ مِنْ {وَكَلَّمَ اللَّهُ مُوسَى تَكْلِيمًا} [النساء 164] وَقَالَ آخَرُ فَعِيسَى كَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ وَرُوحُهُ وَقَالَ آخَرُ وَآدَمُ اصْطَفَاهُ اللَّهُ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ «قَدْ سَمِعْتُ كَلَامَكُمْ وَعَجَبَكُمْ أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلُ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ كَذَلِكَ وَمُوسَى نَجِيُّهُ وَهُوَ كَذَلِكَ وَعِيسَى رُوحُهُ وَكَلِمَتُهُ وَهُوَ كَذَلِكَ وَآدَمُ اصْطَفَاهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَهُوَ كَذَلِكَ أَلَا وَأَنَا حَبِيبُ اللَّهِ وَلَا فَخْرَ وَأَنَا حَامِلُ لِوَاءِ الْحَمْدِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا فَخْرَ وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ شَافِعٍ وَأَوَّلُ مُشَفَّعٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا فَخْرَ وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُحَرِّكُ بِحَلَقِ الْجَنَّةِ وَلَا فَخْرَ فَيَفْتَحُ اللَّهُ فَيُدْخِلُنِيهَا وَمَعِي فُقَرَاءُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَا فَخْرَ وَأَنَا أَكْرَمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَلَا فَخْرَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I am the first among them to come out, and I am their leader when they gather. I am their orator when they listen, and I am their intercessor when they are imprisoned. I am their bearer of good news when they feel despair. On that day, the honors and keys will be in my hands. I am the noblest of the children of Adam in the sight of my Lord. Around me, there are a thousand servants, as if they were hidden pearls or scattered pearls."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنَا أَوَّلُهُمْ خُرُوجًا وَأَنَا قَائِدُهُمْ إِذَا وَفَدُوا وَأَنَا خَطِيبُهُمْ إِذَا أَنْصَتُوا وَأَنَا مُسْتَشْفِعُهُمْ إِذَا حُبِسُوا وَأَنَا مُبَشِّرُهُمْ إِذَا أَيِسُوا الْكَرَامَةُ وَالْمَفَاتِيحُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِيَدِي وَأَنَا أَكْرَمُ وَلَدِ آدَمَ عَلَى رَبِّي يَطُوفُ عَلَيَّ أَلْفُ خَادِمٍ كَأَنَّهُمْ بَيْضٌ مَكْنُونٌ أَوْ لُؤْلُؤٌ مَنْثُورٌ»  

[Machine] "The Prophet (pbuh) said, 'I am the leader of the messengers, and there is no pride in that. I am the seal of the prophets, and there is no pride in that. I am the first intercessor and the first to be interceded for, and there is no pride in that.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «أَنَا قَائِدُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَلَا فَخْرَ وَأَنَا خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّينَ وَلَا فَخْرَ وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ شَافِعٍ وَأَوَّلُ مُشَفَّعٍ وَلَا فَخْرَ»
