[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'I am the first to knock on the door of Paradise and shake its ring.' Anas said, 'It was as if I could see the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ shaking it.' Sufyan described it to us in this way, and Abu Abdullah gathered his fingers and shook them. Thabit asked him, 'Did the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ touch your hand?' He replied, 'Yes.' Thabit said, 'Then give it to me so that I may kiss it.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «أَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَأْخُذُ بِحَلْقَةِ بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فَأُقَعْقِعُهَا» قَالَ أَنَسٌ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى يَدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُحَرِّكُهَا وَصَفَ لَنَا سُفْيَانُ كَذَا وَجَمَعَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَصَابِعَهُ وَحَرَّكَهَا قَالَ وَقَالَ لَهُ ثَابِتٌ مَسَسْتَ يَدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِيَدِكَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَعْطِنِيهَا أُقَبِّلْهَا  

The Apostle of Allah ﷺ said: I would be the first intercessor in the Paradise and no apostle amongst the apostles has been testified (by such a large number of people) as I have been testified. And verily there woald be an apostle among the apostles who would be testified to by only one man from his people. (Using translation from Muslim 196c)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنَا أَوَّلُ شفيعٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Indeed, I am the foremost among people whose skulls will split open on the Day of Resurrection, and there will be no pride in that. I will be given the banner of praise, and there will be no pride in that. I am the leader of mankind on the Day of Resurrection, and there will be no pride in that. I am the first to enter Paradise on the Day of Resurrection, and there will be no pride in that. I will come to the gate of Paradise and take hold of its ring, and they will ask, 'Who is this?' I will say, 'I am Muhammad.' So they will open it for me and I will enter, then I will find the All-Mighty facing me. I will prostrate to Him, and He will say, 'Raise your head, O Muhammad, and speak, your voice will be heard; intercede, your intercession will be accepted.' So I will raise my head and say, 'My Ummah, my Ummah, O Lord!' And He will say, 'Go to your Ummah, and whoever among them has an atom's weight of faith in his heart, bring him forth into Paradise.' So I will go and bring forth anyone I find in their heart an atom's weight of faith in them and admit them to Paradise. Then I will return and bring forth anyone I find in their heart an atom's weight of mustard seed of faith in them, and admit them to Paradise. Then I will return and bring forth anyone I find in their heart an atom's weight of faith in them, and admit them to Paradise. Then the reckoning of the people will be concluded, and anyone who remains from my Ummah will be admitted to the Fire along with the people of the Fire. Then the people of the Fire will say, 'What benefit did it bring you that you used to worship Allah and not associate anything with Him?' And the All-Mighty will say, 'By My Might and Majesty, I will indeed bring forth those of them who used to worship Me, and not associate anything with Me.' So He will send for them and they will come out of the Fire, and by that time they will be like burnt seeds, and they will enter the River of Life, and they will grow in it as a seed grows in the silt carried by floodwater. Then they will be recorded as being among the freed slaves of Allah, and He will take them away and admit them to Paradise. Then the people of Paradise will say, 'They are the people who were destined for Hell.' And the All-Mighty will say, 'Rather, they are the freed slaves of the All-Mighty.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنِّي لَأَوَّلُ النَّاسِ تَنْشَقُّ الْأَرْضُ عَنْ جُمْجُمَتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا فَخْرَ وَأُعْطَى لِوَاءَ الْحَمْدِ وَلَا فَخْرَ وَأَنَا سَيِّدُ النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا فَخْرَ وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا فَخْرَ وَآتِي بَابَ الْجَنَّةِ فَآخُذُ بِحَلْقَتِهَا فَيَقُولُونَ مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَأَقُولُ أَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ فَيَفْتَحُونَ لِي فَأَدْخُلُ فَأَجِدُ الْجَبَّارَ مُسْتَقْبِلِي فَأَسْجُدُ لَهُ فَيَقُولُ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَتَكَلَّمْ يُسْمَعْ مِنْكَ وَقُلْ يُقْبَلْ مِنْكَ وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ فَأَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي فأقولُ أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي يَا رَبِّ فَيَقُولُ اذْهَبْ إِلَى أُمَّتِكَ فَمَنْ وَجَدْتَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ فَأَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ فَأَذْهَبُ فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالَ ذَلِكَ أَدْخَلْتُهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ فَأَجِدُ الْجَبَّارَ مُسْتَقْبِلِي فَأَسْجُدُ لَهُ فَيَقُولُ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَتَكَلَّمْ يُسْمَعْ مِنْكَ وَقُلْ يُقْبَلْ مِنْكَ وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ فَأَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي فَأَقُولُ أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي يَا رَبِّ فَيَقُولُ اذْهَبْ إِلَى أُمَّتِكَ فَمَنْ وَجَدْتَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ فَأَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ فَأَذْهَبُ فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالَ ذَلِكَ أَدْخَلْتُهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ وَفُرِغَ مِنْ حِسَابِ النَّاسِ وَأُدْخِلَ مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي فِي النَّارِ مَعَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيَقُولُ أَهْلُ النَّارِ مَا أَغْنَى عَنْكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُونَ بِهِ شَيْئًا فَيَقُولُ الْجَبَّارُ فَبِعِزَّتِي لَأَعْتِقَنَّهُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ فَيُرْسِلُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَقَدِ امْتُحِشُوا فَيُدْخَلُونَ فِي نَهَرِ الْحَيَاةِ فَيَنْبُتُونَ فِيهِ كَمَا تَنْبُتُ الْحِبَّةُ فِي غُثَاءِ السَّيْلِ وَيُكْتَبُ بَيْنَ أَعْيُنِهِمْ هَؤُلَاءِ عُتَقَاءُ اللَّهِ فَيُذْهَبُ بِهِمْ فَيَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ هَؤُلَاءِ الْجَهَنَّمِيُّونَ فَيَقُولُ الْجَبَّارُ بَلْ هَؤُلَاءِ عُتَقَاءُ الْجَبَّارِ  

[Machine] Gabriel ﷺ came down to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , split open his chest, and said, "In his heart is a vessel containing two ears for hearing and two eyes for seeing. Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, upright in character, and your speech is truthful. Your soul is at peace." Abu Muhammad Waki' said, "meaning strong."  

نَزَلَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَشَقَّ بَطْنَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ جِبْرِيلُ قَلْبٌ وَكِيعٌ فِيهِ أُذُنَانِ سَمِيعَتَانِ وَعَيْنَانِ بَصِيرَتَانِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الْمُقَفِّي الْحَاشِرُ خُلُقُكَ قَيِّمٌ وَلِسَانُكَ صَادِقٌ وَنَفْسُكَ مُطْمَئِنَّةٌ قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ وَكِيعٌ يَعْنِي شَدِيدًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah has granted me knowledge of the deceased's lifespan and has shortened my lifespan. So we are the last to come and the first to be resurrected on the Day of Judgment. And I say, without boasting, that Ibrahim, the friend of Allah, and Musa, the chosen one of Allah, and I, the beloved of Allah, will be together on the Day of Judgment along with the banner of praise. Indeed, Allah Almighty has promised me regarding my Ummah and has granted them three things: He will not annihilate them with a sudden calamity, He will not allow their enemy to completely overpower them, and He will not gather them on misguidance."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَدْرَكَ بِيَ الْأَجَلَ الْمَرْحُومَ وَاخْتَصَرَ لِيَ اخْتِصَارًا فَنَحْنُ الْآخِرُونَ وَنَحْنُ السَّابِقُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنِّي قَائِلٌ قَوْلًا غَيْرَ فَخْرٍ إِبْرَاهِيمُ خَلِيلُ اللَّهِ وَمُوسَى صَفِيُّ اللَّهِ وَأَنَا حَبِيبُ اللَّهِ وَمَعِي لِوَاءُ الْحَمْدِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ وَعَدَنِي فِي أُمَّتِي وَأَجَارَهُمْ مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ لَا يَعُمُّهُمْ بِسَنَةٍ وَلَا يَسْتَأْصِلُهُمْ عَدُوٌّ وَلَا يَجْمَعُهُمْ عَلَى ضَلَالَةٍ  

[Machine] And Ghayr Muhammad Salamah Al-Sakooni said, "While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , a person asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, have you been provided with food from the sky?' He said, 'Yes, I have been provided with food.' The person asked, 'O Prophet of Allah, was there any blessing in it?' He said, 'Yes.' The person asked, 'So, what was done with it?' He said, 'It was lifted up to the sky. I have been revealed that my stay among you is only for a little while, and then you will continue to say, "When will he die? When will he die?" Then some of you will come to me as representatives, and they will cause some of you to perish, and this will happen before the Day of Judgment, through severe calamities and years of earthquakes.'"  

وَقَالَ غَيْرُ مُحَمَّدٍ سَلَمَةَ السَّكُونِيَّ ؓ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذْ قَالَ قَائِلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ أُتِيتَ بِطَعَامٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ أُتِيتُ بِطَعَامٍ» قَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ هَلْ كَانَ فِيهِ مِنْ فَضْلٍ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ فَمَا فُعِلَ بِهِ؟ قَالِ رُفِعَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنِّي غَيْرُ لَابِثٍ فِيكُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ تَلْبَثُونَ حَتَّى تَقُولُوا مَتَى مَتَى؟ ثُمَّ تَأْتُونِي أَفْنَادًا يُفْنِي بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ مُوَتَانٌ شَدِيدٌ وَبَعْدَهُ سَنَوَاتُ الزَّلَازِلِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought a bowl of Tharid, which was placed in front of the people. They continued to share it until noon the next day, with some people standing and others sitting. A man asked Sumarah ibn Jundub, "Wasn't it enough?" Sumarah replied, "What surprises you? It was enough only from here," and he pointed with his hand towards the sky.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُتِيَ بِقَصْعَةٍ مِنْ ثَرِيدٍ فَوُضِعَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْقَوْمِ فَتَعَاقَبُوهَا إِلَى الظُّهْرِ مِنْ غُدْوَةٍ يَقُومُ قَوْمٌ وَيَجْلِسُ آخَرُونَ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لِسَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ أَمَا كَانَتْ تُمَدُّ؟ فَقَالَ سَمُرَةُ «مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَعْجَبُ؟ مَا كَانَتْ تُمَدُّ إِلَّا مِنْ هَاهُنَا» وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ  

"I saw the Prophet ﷺ on a clear night, so I looked at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and at the moon, and he was wearing a red Hullah, and he looked better than the moon to me." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2811)   

«رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي لَيْلَةٍ إِضْحِيَانٍ وَعَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ حَمْرَاءُ فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَإِلَى الْقَمَرِ» قَالَ فَلَهُوَ كَانَ أَحْسَنَ فِي عَيْنِي مِنَ الْقَمَرِ  

[Machine] The translation of the given phrase into English is as follows: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a gap between his front teeth, when he spoke, it was seen as light shining forth from between his teeth."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَفْلَجَ الثَّنِيَّتَيْنِ إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ رُئِيَ كَالنُّورِ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْنِ ثَنَايَاهُ»  

[Machine] Ibn Umar said, "I have never seen anyone more righteous, more generous, braver, or brighter than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."  

ابْنُ عُمَرَ «مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَنْجَدَ وَلَا أَجْوَدَ وَلَا أَشْجَعَ وَلَا أَضْوَأَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ»  

[Machine] I said to Rabi'ah, the daughter of Mu'awwidh ibn 'Afra', "Describe to us the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." She replied, "Oh my son, if you had seen him, you would have seen the rising sun."  

قُلْتُ لِلرُّبَيِّعِ بِنْتِ مُعَوِّذِ ابْنِ عَفْرَاءَ صِفِي لَنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا بُنَيَّ لَوْ رَأَيْتَهُ رَأَيْتَ الشَّمْسَ طَالِعَةً  

Anas reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a very fair complexion and (the drops) of his perspiration shone like pearls, and when he walked he walked inclining forward, and I never touched brocade and silk (and found it) as soft as the softness of the palm of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I never smelt musk or ambergris and found its fragrance as sweet as the fragrance of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. (Using translation from Muslim 2330b)   

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَزْهَرَ اللَّوْنِ كَأَنَّ عَرَقَهُ اللُّؤْلُؤُ إِذَا مَشَى تَكَفَّأَ وَمَا مَسَسْتُ حَرِيرَةً وَلَا دِيبَاجَةً أَلْيَنَ مِنْ كَفِّهِ وَلَا شَمِمْتُ رَائِحَةً قَطُّ أَطْيَبُ مِنْ رَائِحَتِهِ» مِسْكَةً وَلَا غَيْرَهَا  

[Machine] I served the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he never said "uff" to me, nor did he ask me why I did something or why I did not do something.  

خَدَمْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَمَا قَالَ لِي أُفٍّ قَطُّ وَلَا قَالَ لِي لِشَيْءٍ صَنَعْتُهُ «لِمَ صَنَعْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا» أَوْ «هَلَّا صَنَعْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا»  

[Machine] "I was with my father when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stoned Ma'iz ibn Malik. When he was being pelted with stones, I got scared, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ hugged me to him. I could feel the perspiration from his armpit, which smelled like musk."  

«كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي حِينَ رَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ فَلَمَّا أَخَذَتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ أُرْعِبْتُ فَضَمَّنِي إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ» فَسَالَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ عَرَقِ إِبْطِهِ مِثْلُ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ  

"A man asked Al-Bara: 'Was the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ like a sword?' He said: 'No, like the moon.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3636)   

سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ أَرَأَيْتَ كَانَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِثْلَ السَّيْفِ؟ قَالَ لَا مِثْلَ الْقَمَرِ  

[Machine] The translation of the sentence "كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْرَفُ بِاللَّيْلِ بِرِيحِ الطِّيبِ" into English is: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was known at night by the fragrance of a good scent."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْرَفُ بِاللَّيْلِ بِرِيحِ الطِّيبِ»  

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ never took a path, or does not take a path, without someone following him who knew that he had taken it by the fragrance of his sweat."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمْ يَسْلُكْ طَرِيقًا أَوْ لَا يَسْلُكُ طَرِيقًا فَيَتْبَعُهُ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا عَرَفَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ سَلَكَهُ مِنْ طِيبِ عَرْفِهِ أَوْ قَالَ مِنْ رِيحِ عَرَقِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to eat gifts and not accept charity. A woman from the Jews of Khaybar presented him with a roasted sheep as a gift, so he ate from it and also gave some to Bishr bin al-Bara'ah. Then the Prophet ﷺ raised his hand and said, "This sheep informs me that it is poisoned." Bishr bin al-Bara'ah died from the poison. The Prophet ﷺ sent a message to the woman saying, "What made you do what you did?" She replied, "If you are a prophet, it would not harm you, and if you are a king, I would save the people from you." In his illness, the Prophet ﷺ said, "I still feel the effects of the food I ate in Khaybar. This is the time when my aorta will be severed."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْكُلُ الْهَدِيَّةَ وَلَا يَقْبَلُ الصَّدَقَةَ فَأَهْدَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ يَهُودِ خَيْبَرَ شَاةً مَصْلِيَّةً فَتَنَاوَلَ مِنْهَا وَتَنَاوَلَ مِنْهَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْبَرَاءِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ هَذِهِ تُخْبِرُنِي أَنَّهَا مَسْمُومَةٌ» فَمَاتَ بِشْرُ بْنُ الْبَرَاءِ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا حَمَلَكِ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتِ؟» فَقَالَتْ إِنْ كُنْتَ نَبِيًّا لَمْ يَضُرَّكَ شَيْءٌ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ مَلِكًا أَرَحْتُ النَّاسَ مِنْكَ فَقَالَ فِي مَرَضِهِ «مَا زِلْتُ مِنَ الْأُكْلَةِ الَّتِي أَكَلْتُ بِخَيْبَرَ فَهَذَا أَوَانُ انْقِطَاعِ أَبْهَرِي»  

Jabir ibn Abdullah used to say that a Jewess from the inhabitants of Khaybar poisoned a roasted sheep and presented it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who took its foreleg and ate from it. A group of his companions also ate with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: Take your hands away (from the food). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then sent someone to the Jewess and he called her. He said to her: Have you poisoned this sheep? The Jewess replied: Who has informed you? He said: This foreleg which I have in my hand has informed me. She said: Yes. He said: What did you intend by it? She said: I thought if you were a prophet, it would not harm you; if you were not a prophet, we should rid ourselves of him (i.e. the Prophet). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then forgave her, and did not punish her. But some of his companions who ate it, died. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had himself cupped on his shoulder on account of that which he had eaten from the sheep. AbuHind cupped him with the horn and knife. He was a client of Banu Bayadah from the Ansar. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4510)   

أَنَّ يَهُودِيَّةً مِنْ أَهْلِ خَيْبَرَ سَمَّتْ شَاةً مَصْلِيَّةً ثُمَّ أَهْدَتْهَا إلى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الذِّرَاعَ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا وَأَكَلَ الرَّهْطُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «ارْفَعُوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ» وَأَرْسَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى الْيَهُودِيَّةِ فَدَعَاهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا «أَسَمَمْتِ هَذِهِ الشَّاةَ؟» فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ وَمَنْ أَخْبَرَكَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْنِي هَذِهِ فِي يَدِي لِلذِّرَاعِ فقالتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَمَاذَا أَرَدْتِ إِلَى ذَلِكَ؟» قَالَتْ قُلْتُ إِنْ كَانَ نَبِيًّا لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ نَبِيًّا اسْتَرَحْنَا مِنْهُ فَعَفَا عَنْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ يُعَاقِبْهَا وَتُوُفِّيَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ الَّذِينَ أَكَلُوا مِنَ الشَّاةِ وَاحْتَجَمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى كَاهِلِهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ الَّذِي أَكَلَ مِنَ الشَّاةِ حَجَمَهُ أَبُو هِنْدَ مَوْلَى بَنِي بَيَاضَةَ بِالْقَرْنِ وَالشَّفْرَةِ وَهُوَ مِنْ بَنِي ثُمَامَةَ وَهُمْ حَيٌّ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ  

When Khaibar was conquered, a roasted poisoned sheep was presented to the Prophet ﷺ as a gift (by the Jews). The Prophet ﷺ ordered, "Let all the Jews who have been here, be assembled before me." The Jews were collected and the Prophet ﷺ said (to them), "I am going to ask you a question. Will you tell the truth?" They said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Who is your father?" They replied, "So-and-so." He said, "You have told a lie; your father is so-and-so." They said, "You are right." He said, "Will you now tell me the truth, if I ask you about something?" They replied, "Yes, O Abu Al-Qasim; and if we should tell a lie, you can realize our lie as you have done regarding our father." On that he asked, "Who are the people of the (Hell) Fire?" They said, "We shall remain in the (Hell) Fire for a short period, and after that you will replace us." The Prophet ﷺ said, "You may be cursed and humiliated in it! By Allah, we shall never replace you in it." Then he asked, "Will you now tell me the truth if I ask you a question?" They said, "Yes, O Abu Al-Qasim." He asked, "Have you poisoned this sheep?" They said, "Yes." He asked, "What made you do so?" They said, "We wanted to know if you were a liar in which case we would get rid of you, and if you are a prophet then the poison would not harm you." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3169)  

لَمَّا فُتِحَتْ خَيْبَرُ أُهْدِيَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَاةٌ فِيهَا سُمٌّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اجْمَعُوا لِي مَنْ كَانَ هاهُنا مِنَ الْيَهُودِ» فَجُمِعُوا لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي سَائِلُكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ صَادِقِيَّ عَنْهُ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَبُوكُمْ؟» قَالُوا أَبُونَا فُلَانٌ فَقَالَ لهم رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَذَبْتُمْ بَلْ أَبُوكُمْ فُلَانٌ» قَالُوا صَدَقْتَ وَبَرَرْتَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ «هَلْ أَنْتُمْ صَادِقِيَّ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِنْ سَأَلْتُكُمْ عَنْهُ؟» فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ وَإِنْ كَذَبْنَاكَ عَرَفْتَ كَذِبَنَا كَمَا عرفْتَهُ فِي أَبِينَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَمَنْ أَهْلُ النَّارِ؟» فَقَالُوا نَكُونُ فِيهَا يَسِيرًا ثُمَّ تَخْلُفُونَنَا فِيهَا فقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اخْسَؤُوا فِيهَا وَاللَّهِ لَا نَخْلُفُكُمْ فِيهَا أَبَدًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ «هَلْ أَنْتُمْ صَادِقِيَّ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِنْ سَأَلْتُكُمْ عَنْهُ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «هَلْ جَعَلْتُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الشَّاةِ سُمًّا؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ؟» قَالُوا أَرَدْنَا إِنْ كُنْتَ كَاذِبًا أَنْ نَسْتَرِيحَ مِنْكَ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ نَبِيًّا لَمْ يَضُرَّكَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was never asked anything, and he replied: "No." Abu Muhammad said that Ibn Uyaynah said: "If he did not have a specific number."  

مَا سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ شَيْئًا قَطُّ فَقَالَ لَا قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ وَعَدَ  

[Machine] The translation of the given phrase into English is: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was generous and would never be asked for anything except that he would give it."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَيِيًّا لَا يُسْأَلُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ»  

[Machine] I stepped on the foot of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the Battle of Hunayn, and I had thick-soled sandals on. He took a whip and lightly hit me, saying, "In the name of Allah, you hurt me!" I felt guilty and said to myself, "I hurt the Messenger of Allah ﷺ". I spent that night in distress, knowing that Allah knew what had happened. The next morning, a man asked, "Where is so and so?" I said, "I swear by Allah, yesterday I did something to him." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "You stepped on my foot with your sandal yesterday and caused me pain. I hit you back lightly with the whip. Here are eighty sheep, take them as compensation."  

زَحَمْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ وَفِي رِجْلَيَّ نَعْلٌ كَثِيفَةٌ فَوَطِئْتُ بِهَا عَلَى رِجْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَنَفَحَنِي نَفْحَةً بِسَوْطٍ فِي يَدِهِ وَقَالَ «بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَوْجَعْتَنِي» قَالَ فَبِتُّ لِنَفْسِي لَائِمًا أَقُولُ أَوْجَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَبِتُّ بِلَيْلَةٍ كَمَا يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا إِذَا رَجُلٌ يَقُولُ أَيْنَ فُلَانٌ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ هَذَا وَاللَّهِ الَّذِي كَانَ مِنِّي بِالْأَمْسِ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ وَأَنَا مُتَخَوِّفٌ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّكَ وَطِئْتَ بِنَعْلِكَ عَلَى رِجْلِي بِالْأَمْسِ فَأَوْجَعْتَنِي فَنَفَحْتُكَ نَفْحَةً بِالسَّوْطِ فَهَذِهِ ثَمَانُونَ نَعْجَةً فَخُذْهَا بِهَا»  

[Machine] "There are no ten households on the earth that I have not turned them [to Islam], and I have not found anyone more generous in spending this wealth than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."  

«مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ أَهْلُ عَشَرَةِ أَبْيَاتٍ إِلَّا قَلَّبْتُهُمْ فَمَا وَجَدْتُ أَحَدًا أَشَدَّ إِنْفَاقًا لِهَذَا الْمَالِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to remember Allah frequently, avoid meaningless talk, prolong his prayers, keep his sermons short, and he never refused or showed disdain to walk with widows or the poor, fulfilling their needs.  

«كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُكْثِرُ الذِّكْرَ وَيُقِلُّ اللَّغْوَ وَيُطِيلُ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُقْصِرُ الْخُطْبَةَ وَلَا يَأْنَفُ وَلَا يَسْتَنْكِفُ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ مَعَ الْأَرْمَلَةِ وَالْمِسْكِينِ فَيَقْضِيَ لَهُمَا حَاجَتَهُمَا»  

[Machine] Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, asked: "O Messenger of Allah, do you know how long you will stay among us?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "I see that they have harmed you, and their disturbance has caused you discomfort. If you were to take a tent to speak to them from, would it be better?" The Prophet responded, "I will continue to stay in their midst, enduring their abuse and disputes over my cloak until Allah relieves me from them." Abbas said, "I understood from this that his stay among us would not be for long."  

الْعَبَّاسُ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ لَأَعْلَمَنَّ مَا بَقَاءُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِينَا؟ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَرَاهُمْ قَدْ آذَوْكَ وَآذَاكَ غُبَارُهُمْ فَلَوِ اتَّخَذْتَ عَرِيشًا تُكَلِّمُهُمْ مِنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ «لَا أَزَالُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهِمْ يَطَؤُونَ عقِبِي وَيُنَازِعُونِي رِدَائِي حَتَّى يَكُونَ اللَّهُ هُوَ الَّذِي يُرِيحُنِي مِنْهُمْ» قَالَ فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّ بَقَاءَهُ فِينَا قَلِيلٌ  

[Machine] It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall we not protect you (by standing in front of you)?" He replied, "No, let them step on my footsteps and I step on their necks until Allah relieves me from them."  

قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا نَحْجُبُكَ؟ فَقَالَ «لَا دَعُوهُمْ يَطَؤُونَ عَقِبِي وَأَطَأُ أَعْقَابَهُمْ حَتَّى يُرِيحَنِي اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us during his illness in which he eventually passed away, while we were in the mosque. He was supporting his head with a cloth until he reached the pulpit and climbed it. He said, "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I am able to see the Pond (of Kawthar) from my position here." Then he said, "A servant was presented to me with the treasures and luxuries of this world, and he chose the Hereafter." No one paid attention to this statement except Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and tears started flowing from his eyes as he wept. He said, "We will ransom you with our fathers, mothers, ourselves, and our wealth, O Messenger of Allah." He then descended from the pulpit and did not climb on it again until his passing.  

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ وَنَحْنُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ عَاصِبًا رَأْسَهُ بِخِرْقَةٍ حَتَّى أَهْوَى نَحْوَ الْمِنْبَرِ فَاسْتَوَى عَلَيْهِ وَاتَّبَعْنَاهُ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْحَوْضِ مِنْ مَقَامِي هَذَا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ عَبْدًا عُرِضَتْ عَلَيْهِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتُهَا فَاخْتَارَ الْآخِرَةَ» قَالَ فَلَمْ يَفْطِنْ لَهَا أَحَدٌ غَيْرُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَذَرَفَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فَبَكَى ثُمَّ قَالَ بَلْ نَفْدِيكَ بِآبَائِنَا وَأُمَّهَاتِنَا وَأَنْفُسِنَا وَأَمْوَالِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ هَبَطَ فَمَا قَامَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ  

[Machine] On the authority of Abu Muwayhibah, the servant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "I have been commanded to seek forgiveness for the people of Al-Baqi', so come with me." So I went with him in the middle of the night. When he stood near them, he said, "Peace be upon you, O people of the graves! May Allah honor you with what He honors those who have passed before you. If you knew what Allah has saved you from, the trials (and tribulations) to come would appear to you like the darkest part of the night. It (the trials) will follow one after another, each worse than the previous one. Then he turned towards me and said, 'O Abu Muwayhibah, I have been given the keys to the treasures of the world, and the keys to eternal life in it, then Paradise. I was given the choice between that and meeting my Lord.' I said, 'May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, take the keys to the treasures of the world, and the keys to eternal life in it, then Paradise.' He said, 'No, by Allah, O Abu Muwayhibah, I have chosen to meet my Lord.' Then he sought forgiveness for the people of Al-Baqi' and left. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to feel the pain in which he died.  

عَنْ أَبِي مُوَيْهِبَةَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي قَدْ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَسْتَغْفِرَ لِأَهْلِ الْبَقِيعِ فَانْطَلِقْ مَعِي» فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ فَلَمَّا وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَقَابِرِ لِيُهْنِكُمْ مَا أَصْبَحْتُمْ فِيهِ مِمَّا أَصْبَحَ فِيهِ النَّاسُ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا نَجَّاكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ أَقْبَلَتِ الْفِتَنُ كَقِطْعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يَتْبَعُ آخِرُهَا أَوَّلَهَا الْآخِرَةُ أَشَرُّ مِنَ الْأُولَى ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا مُوَيْهِبَةَ إِنِّي قَدْ أُوتِيتُ بِمَفَاتِيحِ خَزَائِنِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْخُلْدِ فِيهَا ثُمَّ الْجَنَّةُ فَخُيِّرْتُ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ وَبَيْنَ لِقَاءِ رَبِّي» قُلْتُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي خُذْ مَفَاتِيحَ خَزَائِنِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْخُلْدَ فِيهَا ثُمَّ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ «لَا وَاللَّهِ يَا أَبَا مُوَيْهِبَةَ لَقَدِ اخْتَرْتُ لِقَاءَ رَبِّي» ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرَ لِأَهْلِ الْبَقِيعِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَبُدِئَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِوَجَعِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ  

[Machine] When {the help of Allah and the conquest comes} [Al-Nasr 1], the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Fatimah and said, "I have been informed about myself." So she cried, and he said, "Do not cry, as you will be the first of my family to join me." She smiled. Some of the Prophet's wives saw her and said, "O Fatimah, we saw you crying and then smiling. Can you tell us why?" She replied, "He informed me that he has been informed about himself, so I cried. He said to me, 'Do not cry, as you will be the first of my family to join me.' So I smiled."  

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ} [النصر 1] دَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاطِمَةَ فَقَالَ «قَدْ نُعِيَتْ إِلَيَّ نَفْسِي» فَبَكَتْ فَقَالَ «لَا تَبْكِي فَإِنَّكِ أَوَّلُ أَهْلِي لِحَاقًا بِي» فَضَحِكَتْ فَرَآهَا بَعْضُ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْنَ يَا فَاطِمَةُ رَأَيْنَاكِ بَكَيْتِ ثُمَّ ضَحِكْتِ؟ قَالَتْ إِنَّهُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ قَدْ نُعِيَتْ إِلَيْهِ نَفْسُهُ فَبَكَيْتُ فَقَالَ لِي «لَا تَبْكِي فَإِنَّكِ أَوَّلُ أَهْلِي لَاحِقٌ بِي» فَضَحِكْتُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ returned to me one day from a funeral in Al-Baqi' and found me suffering from a headache. He said, "I am suffering from a headache too, O Aisha." I asked him, "What bothers you if I die before you? I would have washed you, shrouded you, prayed for you, and buried you." He smiled and then began to experience the pain in which he died.  

رَجَعَ إِلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ مِنْ جِنَازَةٍ مِنَ الْبَقِيعِ فَوَجَدَنِي وَأَنَا أَجِدُ صُدَاعًا وَأَنَا أَقُولُ وَا رَأْسَاهُ قَالَ «بَلْ أَنَا يَا عَائِشَةُ وَا رَأْسَاهُ» قَالَ «وَمَا ضَرَّكِ لَوْ مُتِّ قَبْلِي فَغَسَّلْتُكِ وَكَفَّنْتُكِ وَصَلَّيْتُ عَلَيْكِ وَدَفَنْتُكِ؟» فَقُلْتُ لَكَأَنِّي بِكَ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ لَرَجَعْتَ إِلَى بَيْتِي فَأَعْرَسْتَ فِيهِ بِبَعْضِ نِسَائِكَ قَالَتْ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ بُدِئَ فِي وَجَعِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said during his illness, "Pour seven buckets of water from seven different wells on me, until I go out to the people and make a pledge to them." So, we sat him in a container for Hafsah, his wife, and poured water on him in abundance or sprinkled it on him from Mohammad bin Ishaq. He found relief and went out and climbed the pulpit, praised Allah and spoke highly of Him, sought forgiveness for the martyrs of Uhud, and prayed for them. Then he said, "As for what follows, the Ansar, who sheltered me and supported me, have some faults. Honor their noble people and overlook their wrongdoers, except for certain limits. Indeed, a servant of Allah was given the choice between this world and what lies with Allah, so he chose what lies with Allah." Abu Bakr cried and thought that the Prophet was referring to himself.  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي مَرَضِهِ «صُبُّوا عَلَيَّ سَبْعَ قِرَبٍ مِنْ سَبْعِ آبَارٍ شَتَّى حَتَّى أَخْرُجَ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَأَعْهَدَ إِلَيْهِمْ» قَالَ فَأَقْعَدْنَاهُ فِي مِخْضَبٍ لِحَفْصَةَ فَصَبَبْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ صَبًّا أَوْ شَنَنَّا عَلَيْهِ شَنًّا الشَّكُّ مِنْ قِبَلِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ فَوَجَدَ رَاحَةً فَخَرَجَ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهِ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لِلشُّهَدَاءِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ أُحُدٍ وَدَعَا لَهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ عَيْبَتِي الَّتِي أَوَيْتُ إِلَيْهَا فَأَكْرِمُوا كَرِيمَهُمْ وَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ إِلَّا فِي حَدٍّ أَلَا إِنَّ عَبْدًا مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ قَدْ خُيِّرَ بَيْنَ الدُّنْيَا وَبَيْنَ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ فَاخْتَارَ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ» فَبَكَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was given permission to pray during his illness, so he said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." Then he became unconscious. When he regained consciousness, he said, "Did I instruct Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer?" I said, "Indeed, Abu Bakr is a gentle man. If you had instructed Umar, he would have said, 'You are the eyewitnesses. Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.' There may be someone who wishes evil and Allah and the believers refuse."  

أُوذِنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالصَّلَاةِ فِي مَرَضِهِ فَقَالَ «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ» ثُمَّ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ قَالَ «هَلْ أَمَرْتُنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ؟» فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَجُلٌ رَقِيقٌ فَلَوْ أَمَرْتَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ «أَنْتُنَّ صَوَاحِبُ يُوسُفَ مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ فَرُبَّ قَائِلٍ مُتَمَنٍّ وَيَأْبَى اللَّهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away on Monday. The rest of his day and night were confined, and the following day as well, until he was buried on Wednesday night. They said, 'Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not die, but his soul ascended as Moses's soul ascended.' Umar stood up and said, 'Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not die, but his soul ascended as Moses's soul ascended. By Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ does not die until he cuts off the hands and tongues of nations.' Umar continued to speak until his saliva overflowed, more than what he usually promised. Al-Abbas stood up and said, 'Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has indeed passed away, and he was a human being. And indeed, he may become weary just as humans become weary, O people! So bury your companion, for he is more honored by Allah than to be put to death twice – to kill one of you is death, and to kill him twice while he is more honored by Allah than that?' O people! Bury your companion. If he is as you say, then it is not too difficult for Allah to find him in the soil. Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, by Allah, has not died until he has left the clear path. He made the lawful halal, the unlawful haram, married, divorced, fought, and made peace. He was like a shepherd for his sheep, leading them to the tops of the mountains, thrusting his stick at the beasts with it, and drawing water from the basin with his hand to water the sheep. There has never been from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ among you, O people! So bury your companion.' Hammad said, 'The mother of Ayyub cried, and it was said to her, 'O mother of Ayyub! Are you crying over the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' She said, 'By Allah, I do not cry over the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but I cry over the news of the sky being severed.' "  

«تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ فَحُبِسَ بَقِيَّةَ يَوْمِهِ وَلَيْلَتَهُ وَالْغَدَ حَتَّى دُفِنَ لَيْلَةَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ» وَقَالُوا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَمُتْ وَلَكِنْ عُرِجَ بِرُوحِهِ كَمَا عُرِجَ بِرُوحِ مُوسَى فَقَامَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَمُتْ وَلَكِنْ عُرِجَ بِرُوحِهِ كَمَا عُرِجَ بِرُوحِ مُوسَى وَاللَّهِ لَا يَمُوتُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى يَقْطَعَ أَيْدِيَ أَقْوَامٍ وَأَلْسِنَتَهُمْ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ عُمَرُ يَتَكَلَّمُ حَتَّى أَزْبَدَ شِدْقَاهُ مِمَّا يُوعِدُ وَيَقُولُ فَقَامَ الْعَبَّاسُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ مَاتَ وَإِنَّهُ لَبَشَرٌ وَإِنَّهُ يَأْسُنُ كَمَا يَأْسُنُ الْبَشَرُ أَيْ قَوْمِ فَادْفِنُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ أَكْرَمُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ أَنْ يُمِيتَهُ إِمَاتَتَيْنِ أَيُمِيتُ أَحَدَكُمْ إِمَاتَةً وَيُمِيتُهُ إِمَاتَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ أَكْرَمُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ؟ أَيْ قَوْمِ فَادْفِنُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ فَإِنْ يَكُ كَمَا تَقُولُونَ فَلَيْسَ بِعَزِيزٍ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يَبْحَثَ عَنْهُ التُّرَابَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاللَّهِ مَا مَاتَ حَتَّى تَرَكَ السَّبِيلَ نَهْجًا وَاضِحًا فَأَحَلَّ الْحَلَالَ وَحَرَّمَ الْحَرَامَ وَنَكَحَ وَطَلَّقَ وَحَارَبَ وَسَالَمَ مَا كَانَ رَاعِي غَنَمٍ يَتَّبِعُ بِهَا صَاحِبُهَا رُءُوسَ الْجِبَالِ يَخْبِطُ عَلَيْهَا الْعِضَاةَ بِمِخْبَطِهِ وَيَمْدُرُ حَوْضَهَا بِيَدِهِ بِأَنْصَبَ وَلَا أَدْأَبَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ فِيكُمْ أَيْ قَوْمِ فَادْفِنُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ قَالَ وَجَعَلَتْ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ تَبْكِي فَقِيلَ لَهَا يَا أُمَّ أَيْمَنَ تبْكِينَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَتْ إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا أَبْكِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ لَا أَكُونَ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ ذَهَبَ إِلَى مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَلَكِنِّي أَبْكِي عَلَى خَبَرِ السَّمَاءِ انْقَطَعَ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ خَنَقَتْ الْعَبْرَةُ أَيُّوبَ حِينَ بَلَغَ هَاهُنَا  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "If any of you is afflicted with a calamity, let him remember his calamity in comparison to mine, as it is one of the greatest calamities."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا أَصَابَ أَحَدَكُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ فَلْيَذْكُرْ مُصِيبَتَهُ بِي فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ أَعْظَمِ الْمَصَائِبِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When one of you experiences a calamity, he should remember his own calamity with me because it is one of the greatest calamities."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا أَصَابَ أَحَدَكُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ فَلْيَذْكُرْ مُصَابَهُ بِي فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ أَعْظَمِ الْمَصَائِبِ»  

[Machine] "I never heard Ibn Umar mentioning the Prophet except that he would cry."  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَذْكُرُ النَّبِيَّ قَطُّ إِلَّا بَكَى»  

[Machine] "To walk on the earth following the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" and she said, "O my father, from his Lord, what is it that brings him closer, O my father, Paradise, the abode of the highest level, is his resting place, O my father, to Jibril we refer him, O my father, and his Lord answered the caller." Hammad cried when Thabit narrated, and Thabit cried when Anas narrated to him.  

أَنْ تَحْثُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ التُّرَابَ؟ وَقَالَتْ يَا أَبَتَاهْ مِنْ رَبِّهِ مَا أَدْنَاهْ وَا أَبَتَاهْ جَنَّةُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ مَأْوَاهْ وَا أَبَتَاهْ إِلَى جِبْرِيلَ نَنْعَاهْ وَا أَبَتَاهْ أَجَابَ رَبًّا دَعَاهْ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ حِينَ حَدَّثَ ثَابِتٌ بَكَى وقالَ ثَابِتٌ حِينَ حَدَّثَ بِهِ أَنَسٌ بَكَى  

[Machine] Narrated Anas: The Prophet ﷺ said, "I saw him (i.e., Prophet Muhammad) on the day he entered Medina, and I have never seen a day more beautiful and radiant than the day he entered Medina. And I witnessed him on the day of his death, and I have never seen a day more ugly and dark than the day he died."  

عَنْ أَنَسٍ وَذَكَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «شَهِدْتُهُ يَوْمَ دَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ يَوْمًا قَطُّ كَانَ أَحْسَنَ وَلَا أَضْوَأَ مِنْ يَوْمٍ دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَشَهِدْتُهُ يَوْمَ مَوْتِهِ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ يَوْمًا كَانَ أَقْبَحَ وَلَا أَظْلَمَ مِنْ يَوْمٍ مَاتَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ»  

[Machine] Abdullah ibn Salam, to the Prophet ﷺ: O Messenger of Allah, we will find you standing on the Day of Judgment before your Lord, while you are enveloped in a garment and your cheeks are blushing out of shyness from your Lord, due to what your Ummah (community) has innovated after you.  

عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَجِدُكَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَائِمًا عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ وَأَنْتَ مُحْمَارَّةٌ وَجْنَتَاكَ مُسْتَحْيٍ مِنْ رَبِّكَ مِمَّا أَحْدَثَتْ أُمَّتُكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ that when this Surah was revealed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ{When the victory of Allah and the conquest comes, and you see the people entering into the religion of Allah in multitudes}[Al-Nasr 2], the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "They will enter it in groups just as they entered it in groups."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ لَمَّا أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ {إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ وَرَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ أَفْوَاجًا} [النصر 2] قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَيَخْرُجُنَّ مِنْهُ أَفْوَاجًا كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَفْوَاجًا»  

[Machine] Afterwards, indeed, Allah created the creation, not in need of their obedience, secure from their disobedience. And the people on that day are in different situations and opinions. The Arabs inhabit those residences, the people of Hajr, the people of Wabar, and the people of Dabar. They pass by them with the goodness of this world and the abundance of their livelihoods. They do not ask Allah as a group nor do they recite His dead book. Their dead are in the fire, and their lives are blind and impure, along with countless desired and forbidden things. So when Allah intended to spread His mercy upon them, He sent to them a messenger from among themselves, noble and caring, eager for the believers. Allah's blessings, peace, mercy, and blessings be upon him. This did not stop them from harming him in his body and labeling him with names. With him was a book from Allah, speaking, that is not established except by His command and is not eliminated except with His permission. So when he was commanded to be firm and was burdened with jihad, he accepted the command of Allah. His argument was cleared, his words were approved, his call was proclaimed, and he left this world pious and pure, following the path of his companion. Then Abu Bakr succeeded him, and he followed his example and followed his path. And the Arabs or those who did that from among them returned to their previous state, except for those who refused to accept them after the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. He would not accept from them except the one who was reconcilable. He drew out his swords from their scabbards, and set fire to their kindling. Then he defeated the people of truth, the people of falsehood, but he did not sever their limbs or shed their blood until he entered them into that from which they had separated and solidified them in that from which they had departed. He had previously received a portion of Allah's wealth and used it to quench his thirst. And an Ethiopian woman who breastfed a child for him. He felt a pang in his throat when he saw that before he passed away. He attributed it to his successor and left this world pious and pure, following the path of his two companions. Then, O Umar bin Al-Khattab, you are the son of this world. Its kings nurtured you and fed you. It grew you up and you sought its benefits. But when you became its ruler, you abandoned it and left it in ruins, except for what you provide from it. So praise be to Allah who showed us your deception and relieved our distress through you. So go forth and do not turn back, for surely nothing can exalt the truth, nor humiliate falsehood. I speak these words and seek forgiveness from Allah for myself and for the believing men and believing women. Abu Ayyub said, "Umar bin Abdul Aziz would say about something, Ibn Al-Ahtam said to me, 'Go forth and do not turn back.'"

[Machine] The people of the city suffered a severe drought, so they complained to Aisha and she said, "Look at the grave of the Prophet ﷺ and make a furrow from it to the sky, so there will be no barrier between it and the sky." They did as she instructed, and it rained until the grass grew and the camels got fat to the point of splitting from their fatness. So, that year was called the year of abundance.  

قُحِطَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ قَحْطًا شَدِيدًا فَشَكَوْا إِلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ انْظُرُوا قَبْرَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَاجْعَلُوا مِنْهُ كِوًى إِلَى السَّمَاءِ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ سَقْفٌ قَالَ فَفَعَلُوا فَمُطِرْنَا مَطَرًا حَتَّى نَبَتَ الْعُشْبُ وَسَمِنَتِ الْإِبِلُ حَتَّى تَفَتَّقَتْ مِنَ الشَّحْمِ فَسُمِّيَ عَامَ الْفَتْقِ  

[Machine] "When it was the days of extreme heat, the call to prayer was not made three times in the Prophet's mosque, and there were no congregational prayers. Sa'id bin al-Musayyib did not leave the mosque, and he only knew the prayer times by hearing the commotion coming from the Prophet's grave. Thus, he mentioned its significance."  

لَمَّا كَانَ أَيَّامُ الْحَرَّةِ لَمْ يُؤَذَّنْ فِي مَسْجِدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثَلَاثًا وَلَمْ يُقَمْ وَلَمْ يَبْرَحْ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ الْمَسْجِدَ وَكَانَ لَا يَعْرِفُ وَقْتَ الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا بِهَمْهَمَةٍ يَسْمَعُهَا مِنْ قَبْرِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] From Nu'ayh ibn Wahb, that Ka'b entered upon Aisha and they mentioned the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Ka'b said, "There is not a day that comes forth except that seventy thousand angels descend upon the grave of the Prophet ﷺ , striking it with their wings and praying upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . When they ascend in the evening, another group like them comes down and does the same until the earth splits for them and seventy thousand angels come forth to accompany him."  

عَنْ نُبَيْهِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ أَنَّ كَعْبًا دَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَذَكَرُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ يَطْلُعُ إِلَّا نَزَلَ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ حَتَّى يَحُفُّوا بِقَبْرِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَضْرِبُونَ بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمْ وَيُصَلُّونَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا أَمْسَوْا عَرَجُوا وَهَبَطَ مِثْلُهُمْ فَصَنَعُوا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى إِذَا انْشَقَّتْ عَنْهُ الْأَرْضُ خَرَجَ فِي سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ يَزِفُّونَهُ  

AbdurRahman ibn Amr as-Sulami and Hujr ibn Hujr said: We came to Irbad ibn Sariyah who was among those about whom the following verse was revealed: "Nor (is there blame) on those who come to thee to be provided with mounts, and when thou saidst: "I can find no mounts for you." We greeted him and said: We have come to see you to give healing and obtain benefit from you. Al-Irbad said: One day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer, then faced us and gave us a lengthy exhortation at which the eyes shed tears and the hearts were afraid. A man said: Messenger of Allah! It seems as if it were a farewell exhortation, so what injunction do you give us? He then said: I enjoin you to fear Allah, and to hear and obey even if it be an Abyssinian slave, for those of you who live after me will see great disagreement. You must then follow my sunnah and that of the rightly-guided caliphs. Hold to it and stick fast to it. Avoid novelties, for every novelty is an innovation, and every innovation is an error. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4607)   

صَلَّى لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ وَعَظَنَا مَوْعِظَةً بَلِيغَةً ذَرَفَتْ مِنْهَا الْعُيُونُ وَوَجِلَتْ مِنْهَا الْقُلُوبُ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَأَنَّهَا مَوْعِظَةُ مُوَدِّعٍ؟ فَأَوْصِنَا فَقَالَ «أُوصِيكُمْ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَالسَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ عَبْدًا حَبَشِيًّا فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَعِشْ مِنْكُمْ بَعْدِي فَسَيَرَى اخْتِلَافًا كَثِيرًا فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِسُنَّتِي وَسَنَّةِ الْخُلَفَاءِ الرَّاشِدِينَ الْمَهْدِيِّينَ عَضُّوا عَلَيْهَا بِالنَّوَاجِذِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْمُحْدَثَاتِ فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مُحْدَثَةٍ بِدْعَةٌ» وقالَ أَبُو عَاصِمٍ مَرَّةً «وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَمُحْدَثَاتِ الْأُمُورِ فَإِنَّ كُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلَالَةٌ»  

[Machine] "Those who came before us used to say that holding on firmly to the Sunnah is salvation, and knowledge is quickly taken away. So, the stability of religion and the world lies in sharing knowledge. And in the disappearance of knowledge goes the disappearance of all that."  

كَانَ مَنْ مَضَى مِنْ عُلَمَائِنَا يَقُولُونَ الِاعْتِصَامُ بِالسُّنَّةِ نَجَاةٌ وَالْعِلْمُ يُقْبَضُ قَبْضًا سَرِيعًا فَنَعْشُ الْعِلْمِ ثَبَاتُ الدِّينِ وَالدُّنْيَا وَفِي ذَهَابِ الْعِلْمِ ذَهَابُ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ  

[Machine] "That the first thing to go when religion is gone is the Sunnah, and the religion goes bit by bit, just as a rope loses its strength gradually."  

أَنَّ «أَوَّلَ ذَهَابِ الدِّينِ تَرْكُ السُّنَّةِ يَذْهَبُ الدِّينُ سُنَّةً سُنَّةً كَمَا يَذْهَبُ الْحَبْلُ قُوَّةً قُوَّةً»  

[Machine] Translation: "No people invent an innovation in their religion except that Allah will remove from their Sunnah something similar to it, then He will not return it to them until the Day of Resurrection."  

مَا ابْتَدَعَ قَوْمٌ بِدْعَةً فِي دِينِهِمْ إِلَّا نَزَعَ اللَّهُ مِنْ سُنَّتِهِمْ مِثْلَهَا ثُمَّ لَا يُعِيدُهَا إِلَيْهِمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ  

[Machine] "A man who introduces an innovation has only allowed the sword."  

«مَا ابْتَدَعَ رَجُلٌ بِدْعَةً إِلَّا اسْتَحَلَّ السَّيْفَ»
