Ibn ‘Abbas ؓ said to us. I said to ‘Uthman bin ʿAffan: What made you take al-Anfal, which is one of al-Mathani (the seven long soorahs), and Baraʿah, which is one of al-Miʿeen (soorahs with one hundred verses or thereabouts), and put them next to one another and not write - Ibn Jaʿfar said: A line between them saying Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Raheem - and you put them with the seven long ones? What made you do that? ʿUthman ؓ said: Sometimes many soorahs would be revealed (incomplete) to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and when something was revealed he would call one of the scribes to write it down for him and say: “Put this in the Soorah in which such and such is mentionedʿ; and verses would be revealed to him and he would say, ʿPut these verses in the soorah in which such and such is mentioned”; and a verse would be revealed to him and he would say: ʿPut this verse in the soorah in which such and such is mentioned.” Al-Anfal was one of the first soorahs to be revealed in Madinah and Baraʿah was one of the last soorahs of the Qurʿan, and the stories and content of the two soorahs were similar. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away without having stated clearly to us that it was part of it, but we thought that it was, hence I put them together and I did not put between them the line Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Raheem. Ibn Jaʿfar said: I put it with the seven long ones. (Using translation from Aḥmad 399)   

أَنْ عَمَدْتُمْ إِلَى الْأَنْفَالِ وَهِيَ مِنَ الْمَثَانِي وَإِلَى بَرَاءَةَ وَهِيَ مِنَ الْمِئِينَ فَقَرَنْتُمْ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَمْ تَكْتُبُوا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَوَضَعْتُمُوهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الطِّوَالِ فَمَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِمَّا يَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ الزَّمَانُ وَهُوَ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ السُّوَرِ ذَوَاتِ الْعَدَدِ قَالَ وَكَانَ إِذَا نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الشَّيْءُ دَعَا بَعْضَ مَنْ يَكْتُبُ لَهُ فَيَقُولُ «ضَعُوا هَذِهِ فِي السُّورَةِ الَّتِي فِيهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا» وَكَانَتِ الْأَنْفَالُ مِنْ أَوَائِلِ مَا نَزَلَتْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَتْ بَرَاءَةُ مِنْ آخِرِ الْقُرْآنِ وَكَانَتْ قِصَّتُهَا شَبِيهَةً بِقِصَّتِهَا فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهَا مِنْهَا فَقُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَنَا أَنَّهَا مِنْهَا فَلَمْ أَكْتُبْ بَيْنَهُمَا سَطْرَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ  

[Machine] Because "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful" is a verse of security and innocence which was revealed during warfare, and there is no security in it.  

لِأَنَّ «بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَمَانٌ وَبَرَاءَةٌ نَزَلَتْ بِالسَّيْفِ لَيْسَ فِيهَا أَمَانٌ»  

[Machine] "What you recite of it means innocence, and indeed you call it Surah of Repentance while it is Surah of Punishment."  

«مَا تَقْرَءُونَ رُبُعُهَا يَعْنِي بَرَاءَةَ وَإِنَّكُمْ تُسَمُّونَهَا سُورَةَ التَّوْبَةِ وَهِيَ سُورَةُ الْعَذَابِ»  

[Machine] I was among those whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent with Ali to Makkah, so his son or another man asked him, "Why were you calling?" He said, "We used to say, 'None will enter Paradise except a believer, and no one will perform Hajj after the year except a polytheist, and no one will circumambulate the Kaaba while naked. And whoever had a covenant with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, his lifespan is four months, so I kept calling until my voice became hoarse."  

كُنْتُ فِي الْبَعْثِ الَّذِينَ بَعَثَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ بِبَرَاءَةَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُهُ أَوْ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَبِمَ كُنْتُمْ تُنَادُونَ؟ قَالَ كُنَّا نَقُولُ «لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ وَلَا يَحُجَّ بَعْدَ الْعَامِ مُشْرِكٌ وَلَا يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ عُرْيَانٌ وَمَنْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَهْدٌ فَإِنَّ أَجَلَهُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ فَنَادَيْتُ حَتَّى صَحِلَ صَوْتِي»  

“What day is this?” They said: “The day of sacrifice.” He said: “What land is this?” They said: “This is the sacred land of Allah.” He said: “What month is this?” They said: “The sacred month of Allah.” He said: “This is the day of the greatest Hajj, and your blood, your wealth and your honor are sacred to you, as sacred as this land, in this month, on this day.” Then he said: “Have I conveyed (the message)?” They said: “Yes.” Then the Prophet ﷺ started to say: “O Allah, bear witness.” Then he bade farewell to the people, and they said: “This is the Farewell Pilgrimage.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3058)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَفَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ بَيْنَ الْجَمَرَاتِ فِي الْحَجَّةِ الَّتِي حَجَّ فَقَالَ لِلنَّاسِ «أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا؟» قَالُوا هَذَا يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ قَالَ «فَأَيُّ بَلَدٍ هَذَا؟» قَالُوا هَذَا الْبَلَدُ الْحَرَامُ قَالَ «فَأَيُّ شَهْرٍ هَذَا؟» قَالُوا الشَّهْرُ الْحَرَامُ قَالَ «هَذَا يَوْمُ الْحَجِّ الْأَكْبَرِ فَدِمَاؤُكُمْ وَأَمْوَالُكُمْ وَأَعْرَاضُكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ حَرَامٌ كَحُرْمَةِ هَذَا الْبَلَدِ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَا هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ» ثُمَّ وَدَّعَ النَّاسَ فَقَالُوا هَذِهِ حَجَّةُ الْوَدَاعِ  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: "Whoever leaves this world with sincerity to Allah alone, with no partner for Him, and establishes the prayer and gives the zakat, then Allah will be pleased with them. This is the religion of Allah that the messengers brought and conveyed from their Lord before the overwhelming abundance of traditions and the differences of desires. The confirmation of this is found in the Book of Allah, where He says, 'So if they repent, establish prayer, and give zakat, then they are your brothers in religion' (9:11)."  

عنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ فَارَقَ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْإِخْلَاصِ لِلَّهِ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ فَارَقَهَا وَاللَّهُ عَنْهُ رَاضٍ وَهُوَ دِينُ اللَّهِ الَّذِي جَاءَتْ بِهِ الرُّسُلُ وَبَلَّغُوهُ عَنْ رَبِّهِمْ قَبْلَ مَرْجِ الْأَحَادِيثِ وَاخْتِلَافِ الْأَهْوَاءِ وَتَصْدِيقُ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ {فَإِنْ تَابُوا وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكَاةَ فَخَلُّوا سَبِيلَهُمْ} [التوبة 5] وَقَوْلُهُ ﷻ {فَإِنْ تَابُوا} [التوبة 5] يَقُولُ خَلَعُوا الْأَوْثَانَ وَعِبَادَتَهَا {وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكَاةَ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ} [التوبة 11]  

[Machine] From Hudhaifah regarding the saying of Allah Almighty, "So fight against the leaders of disbelief, for indeed, there are no oaths [sacred] to them." (Quran 9:12) Hudhaifah said, "They were not fought after [this verse was revealed]."  

عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {فَقَاتِلُوا أَئِمَّةَ الْكُفْرِ إِنَّهُمْ لَا أَيْمَانَ لَهُمْ} [التوبة 12] قَالَ لَا عَهْدَ لَهُمْ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ مَا قُوتِلُوا بَعْدُ  

[Machine] "Abu Jahl ibn Hisham, Umayyah ibn Khalaf, Utbah ibn Rabia, Abu Sufyan ibn Harb, and Suhayl ibn Amr were the ones who broke the covenant with Allah and plotted to expel the Messenger from Mecca."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {فَقَاتِلُوا أَئِمَّةَ الْكُفْرِ} [التوبة 12] قَالَ أَبُو جَهْلِ بْنُ هِشَامٍ وَأُمَيَّةُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ وَعُتْبَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَسُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ نَكَثُوا عَهْدَ اللَّهِ وَهَمُّوا بِإِخْرَاجِ الرَّسُولِ مِنْ مَكَّةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When you see a man regularly attending the mosque, do not hesitate to testify that he is a believer, for Allah says: 'Only those who believe in Allah frequent His mosques'." [Quran 9:18]  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الرَّجُلَ يَلْزَمُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلَا تَحَرَّجُوا أَنْ تَشْهَدُوا أَنَّهُ مُؤْمِنٌ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ {إِنَّمَا يَعْمُرُ مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ} [التوبة 18]  

When this verse was revealed: "And those who hoard gold and silver," the Muslims were grieved about it. Umar said: I shall dispel your care. He, therefore, went and said: Prophet of Allah, your Companions were grieved by this verse. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah has made zakat obligatory simply to purify your remaining property, and He made inheritances obligatory that they might come to those who survive you. Umar then said: Allah is most great. He then said to him: Let me inform you about the best a man hoards; it is a virtuous woman who pleases him when he looks at her, obeys him when he gives her a command, and guards his interests when he is away from her. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1664)   

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {الَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ} [التوبة 34] الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ وَلَا يُنْفِقُونَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَبُرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَقَالُوا مَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدُنَا أَنْ يَتْرُكَ مَالًا لِوَلَدِهِ يَبْقَى بَعْدَهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَنَا أُفَرِّجُ عَنْكُمْ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقُوا وَانْطَلَقَ عُمَرُ وَاتَّبَعَهُ ثَوْبَانُ فَأَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَدْ كَبُرَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِكَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَفْرِضِ الزَّكَاةَ إِلَّا لِيُطَيِّبَ بِهَا مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِكُمْ وَإِنَّمَا فَرَضَ الْمَوَارِيثَ فِي أَمْوَالٍ تَبْقَى بَعْدَكُمْ» قَالَ فَكَبَّرَ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِخَيْرِ مَا يَكْنِزُهُ الْمَرْءُ الْمَرْأَةُ الصَّالِحَةُ إِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا سَرَّتْهُ وَإِذَا أَمَرَهَا أَطَاعَتْهُ وَإِذَا غَابَ عَنْهَا حَفِظَتْهُ»  

[Machine] "The prophecy has come upon us, meaning Surah Al-Tawbah. Allah, Exalted and Mighty, said, 'March forth, whether you are light or heavy.' [Surah Al-Tawbah: 41]. And I find myself to be nothing but light."  

أَتَتْ عَلَيْنَا الْبَعُوثُ يَعْنِي سُورَةَ التَّوْبَةِ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {انْفِرُوا خِفَافًا وَثِقَالًا} [التوبة 41] وَلَا أَجِدُنِي إِلَّا خَفِيفًا  

[Machine] From Abu Huraira, without this exact wording.  

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ بِغَيْرِ هَذَا اللَّفْظِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the mosque that was established on piety, and he said, "It is my mosque, this one."  

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الَّذِي أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى قَالَ «هُوَ مَسْجِدِي هَذَا»  

[Machine] He said, "The mosque that was founded upon righteousness is the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." It is authentic.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ «الْمَسْجِدُ الَّذِي أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى مَسْجِدُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ» صحيح  

[Machine] Two men were discussing in the mosque that was founded on piety. One of them said it is the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and the other said it is the mosque of Quba. They both went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The mosque that was founded on piety is my mosque, this is it."  

تَلَاحَى رَجُلَانِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الَّذِي أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا هُوَ مَسْجِدُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ هُوَ مَسْجِدُ قُبَاءَ فَتَسَاوَقَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلَاهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْمَسْجِدُ الَّذِي أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى هُوَ مَسْجِدِي 60 هَذَا» إسناده جيد  

"Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari, Jabir bin 'Abdullah, and Anas bin Malik told me that when this Verse: "In it (the mosque) are men who love to clean and to purify themselves. And Allah loves those who make themselves clean and pure." was revealed, the Messenger of Allah said: 'O Ansar! Allah has praised you for your cleanliness. What is the nature of your cleanliness?' They said: 'We perform ablution for prayer and we take bath to cleanse ourselves of impurity due to sexual activity, and we clean ourselves with water (after urinating). He said: 'This is what it is. So adhere to it.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 355)   

أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {فِيهِ رِجَالٌ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَتَطَهَّرُوا} [التوبة 108] قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَثْنَى عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الطُّهُورِ خَيْرًا فَمَا طُهُورُكُمْ هَذَا؟» قَالُوا نَتَوَضَّأُ لِلصَّلَاةِ وَنَغْتَسِلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ وَنَسْتَنْجِي بِالْمَاءِ قَالَ هُوَ ذَاكَ فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the travelers, and he said, "They are the ones who are fasting."  

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ السَّائِحِينَ فَقَالَ «هُمُ الصَّائِمُونَ»  

I heard a man asking for forgiveness for his parents and they were mushrikeen. I said: Are you asking for forgiveness for your parents when they are mushrikeen? He said: Didnʿt Ibraheem (عليه السلام) ask for forgiveness for his father when he was a mushrik? I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and these verses were revealed: “It is not (proper) for the Prophet ﷺ and those who believe to ask Allahʿs forgiveness for the Mushrikeen” [At-Tawbah 9:113-114]. ‘Abdur-Rahman said: And Allah revealed [the words]. “And Ibraheemʿs (Abraham) invoking (of Allah) for his fatherʿs forgiveness was only because of a promise he [Ibraheem (Abraham)] had made to him (his father)ʿ. (Using translation from Aḥmad 1085)   

سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا يَسْتَغْفِرُ لِأَبَوَيْهِ وَهُمَا مُشْرِكَانِ فَقُلْتُ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لِأَبَوَيْكَ وَهُمَا مُشْرِكَانِ فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَ قَدِ اسْتَغْفَرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ وَهُوَ مُشْرِكٌ؟ فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَنَزَلَتْ {مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَوْ كَانُوا أُولِي قُرْبَى مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ وَمَا كَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ إِلَّا عَنْ مَوْعِدَةٍ وَعَدَهَا إِيَّاهُ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ أَنَّهُ عَدُوٌّ لِلَّهِ تَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَأَوَّاهٌ حَلِيمٌ} [التوبة 114]  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "May Allah have mercy on you and forgive you, O uncle. I will continue to seek forgiveness for you until Allah forbids me from doing so." So the Muslims began seeking forgiveness for their deceased pagans. Then Allah Almighty revealed, "It is not for the Prophet and those who have believed to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of Hellfire." [Quran 9:113]  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ وَغَفَرَ لَكَ يَا عَمُّ وَلَا أَزَالُ أَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ حَتَّى يَنْهَانِيَ اللَّهُ ﷻ» فَأَخَذَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِمَوْتَاهُمُ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا وَهُمْ مُشْرِكُونَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَوْ كَانُوا أُولِي قُرْبَى مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ} [التوبة 113]  

[Machine] When the death of Abu Talib approached, the Prophet ﷺ came to him while Abdullah ibn Abi Umeyah and Abu Jahl ibn Hisham were with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "O uncle, indeed you are the greatest of them in rights upon me and the best of them in my eyes. And you have the greatest right upon me after my parents. So say a word that will benefit you with intercession for yourself on the Day of Resurrection. Say, "There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah." They said to him, "Are you trying to abandon the religion of Abd al-Muttalib?" He remained silent, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ repeated it to him. Abu Talib then said, "I adhere to the religion of Abd al-Muttalib." And he passed away. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I will seek forgiveness for you as long as I have not been forbidden from it." Then Allah, the Almighty, revealed the verses {It is not for the Prophet and those who have believed to ask forgiveness for the polytheists} [9:113] until the end of the verse {And the request for forgiveness of Abraham for his father} [9:114].  

لَمَّا حَضَرَتْ أَبَا طَالِبٍ الْوَفَاةُ أَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ وَأَبُو جَهْلِ بْنُ هِشَامُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَيْ عَمِّ إِنَّكَ أَعْظَمُهُمْ عَلَيَّ حَقًّا وَأَحْسَنُهُمْ عِنْدِي يَدًا وَلَأَنْتَ أَعْظَمُ حَقًّا عَلَيَّ مِنْ وَالِدِي فَقُلْ كَلِمَةً تَجِبْ لَكَ عَلَيَّ بِهَا الشَّفَاعَةُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ» فَقَالَا لَهُ أَتَرْغَبُ عَنْ مِلَّةِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ؟ فَسَكَتَ فَأَعَادَهَا عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَنَا عَلَى مِلَّةِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَمَاتَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَأَسْتَغْفِرَنَّ لَكَ مَا لَمْ أُنْهَ عَنْكَ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ} [التوبة 113] الْآيَةُ {وَمَا كَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِأَبِيهَ} [التوبة 114] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to visit the graves, and we went out with him. He commanded us to sit, and we sat. Then he passed by the graves until he reached a particular grave and he stood there for a long time, engaged in private conversation. Then the crying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intensified, and we cried along with him. He then turned to us, and 'Umar ibn al-Khattab met him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is it that makes you cry, when you have made us cry and startled us?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and sat with us and said, "Does my crying alarm you?" We said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "The grave that you saw me speaking to is the grave of my mother, Aminah bint Wahb. I sought permission from my Lord to visit her grave, and He granted me permission. So I sought His permission to seek forgiveness for her, but He did not grant me permission. And the verse was revealed upon me: 'It is not (proper) for the Prophet and those who believe to ask Allah's forgiveness for the Mushrikun (polytheists).' (Quran 9:113) Until the end of the verse: 'And the request of forgiveness of Ibrahim (Abraham) for his father except for a promise he had made to him.' (Quran 9:114) Then, at that moment, I was seized with something that a child would be seized with from his father's compassion. And that is what made me cry." This hadith was narrated by Muslim through the narration of Yazid ibn Kaysan from Abu Hazim who heard it from Abu Hurairah, summarized by Ayyub bin Hani' from Ibn Ma'in.  

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ فِي الْمَقَابِرِ وَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ فَأَمَرَنَا فَجَلَسْنَا ثُمَّ تَخَطَّا الْقُبُورَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى قَبْرٍ مِنْهَا فَنَاجَاهُ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَ نَحِيبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَاكِيًا فَبَكَيْنَا لِبُكَائِهِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَتَلَقَّاهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الَّذِي أَبْكَاكَ فَقَدْ أَبْكَانَا وَأَفْزَعَنَا فَجَاءَ فَجَلَسَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ «أَفْزَعَكُمْ بُكَائِي؟» فَقُلْنَا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْقَبْرَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُمُونِي أُنَاجِي فِيهِ قَبْرُ أُمِّي آمِنَةَ بِنْتِ وَهْبٍ وَإِنِّي اسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَبِّي فِي زِيَارَتِهَا فَأَذِنَ لِي فِيهِ فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ فِي الِاسْتِغْفَارِ لَهَا فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لِي فِيهِ وَنَزَلَ عَلَيَّ {مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ} [التوبة 113] حَتَّى خَتَمَ الْآيَةَ {وَمَا كَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ إِلَّا عَنْ مَوْعِدَةٍ وَعَدَهَا إِيَّاهُ} [التوبة 114] فَأَخَذَنِي مَا يَأْخُذُ الْوَلَدَ لِوَالِدِهِ مِنَ الرِّقَةِ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي أَبْكَانِي «صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِهِمَا وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ هَكَذَا بِهَذِهِ السِّيَاقَةِ» إِنَّمَا أَخْرَجَ مُسْلِمٌ حَدِيثَ يَزِيدَ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فِيهِ مُخْتَصَرًا أيوب بن هانىء ضعفه ابن معين  

[Machine] From His statement, Exalted is He, "And His throne had been upon the water" [Hud 11:7], upon what was the water? He said, "On the back of the wind."  

عَنْ قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ} [هود 7] عَلَى أَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ الْمَاءُ؟ قَالَ عَلَى مَتْنِ الرِّيحِ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to send a group of warriors, so he called Ja'far and commanded him to stay in Medina. Ja'far said, "I will never stay behind you, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then called me (Ali) and resolved to me, even before I spoke. I began to cry. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me, "What makes you cry, O Ali?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, certain qualities make me cry. Quraish says, 'Tomorrow he will be quick to abandon his cousin and betray him.' Another quality that makes me cry is wanting to engage in jihad for the sake of Allah, because Allah says, 'They do not step forth to anger the disbelievers nor inflict any injury upon an enemy, but a righteous deed is recorded for them.' I wanted to experience the favor of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Regarding your statement about Quraish saying that you will be quick to abandon your cousin and betray him, you have a role model in me. They called me a sorcerer, soothsayer, and liar. Are you not pleased to be in the position of Harun (Aaron) to Musa (Moses), except that there is no prophet after me? And concerning your statement about wanting to experience the favor of Allah, there is a box of gifts from Yemen that has come to us. Sell it and enjoy it with Fatima, until Allah bestows His favor upon you. Indeed, Medina is only suitable with me or with you."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَغْزُوَ غَزَاةً لَهُ قَالَ فَدَعَا جَعْفَرًا فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّفَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ لَا أَتَخَلَّفُ بَعْدَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَبَدًا قَالَ فَدَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَعَزَمَ عَلَيَّ لَمَا تَخَلَّفْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ قَالَ فَبَكَيْتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا يُبْكِيكَ يَا عَلِيُّ؟ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُبْكِينِي خِصَالٌ غَيْرُ وَاحِدَةٍ تَقُولُ قُرَيْشٌ غَدًا مَا أَسْرَعَ مَا تَخَلَّفَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَمِّهِ وَخَذَلَهُ وَيُبْكِينِي خَصْلَةٌ أُخْرَى كُنْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَعَرَّضَ لِلْجِهَادِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ {وَلَا يَطَئُونَ مَوْطِئًا يَغِيظُ الْكُفَّارَ وَلَا يَنَالُونَ مِنْ عَدُوٍّ نَيْلًا} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ فَكُنْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَعَرَّضَ لِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَمَّا قَوْلُكَ تَقُولُ قُرَيْشٌ مَا أَسْرَعَ مَا تَخَلَّفَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَمِّهِ وَخَذَلَهُ فَإِنَّ لَكَ بِي أُسْوَةً قَدْ قَالُوا سَاحِرٌ وَكَاهِنٌ وَكَذَّابٌ أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي؟ وَأَمَّا قَوْلُكَ أَتَعَرَّضُ لِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ فَهَذِهِ أَبْهَارٌ مِنْ فُلْفُلٍ جَاءَنَا مِنَ الْيَمَنِ فَبِعْهُ وَاسْتَمْتِعْ بِهِ أَنْتَ وَفَاطِمَةُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ فَإِنَّ الْمَدِينَةَ لَا تَصْلُحُ إِلَّا بِي أَوْ بِكَ»  

[Machine] "Oh Abu Al-Aliyah, do not say that you have turned away from prayer, but say that you have fulfilled the prayer. Indeed, Allah Almighty says, 'They have made a trade by which Allah has profited their hearts.' (Surah At-Tawbah, 9:127)"  

يَا أَبَا الْعَالِيَةِ لَا تَقُلِ انْصَرَفْتُمْ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَلَكِنْ قُلْ {قَضَيْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ} [النساء 103] فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ {انْصَرَفُوا صَرَفَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ} [التوبة 127]  

[Machine] "The last revelation of the Quran: 'Certainly there has come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is your suffering; [he is] concerned over you [i.e., your guidance] and to the believers is kind and merciful' [Quran 9:128]. The hadeeth is narrated by Shu'bah on the authority of Yunus ibn 'Ubaid as authentic according to the conditions of the two sheikhs [i.e., Bukhari and Muslim], but they did not include it [in their collections]."  

«آخِرُ مَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ {لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ} » حَدِيثُ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ «صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ» على شرط البخاري ومسلم
