[Machine] And it is said, "Abu Amr is one of the residents of Damascus."
وَيُقَالُ أَبَا عَمْرٍو مِنْ سَاكِنِي الشَّامِ
[Machine] "Awf ibn Malik al-Ashja'i, nicknamed Abu Muhammad, and his residence was in Hims."
«عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ يُكَنَّى أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَكَانَ مَنْزِلُهُ بِحِمْصَ»
[Machine] Awf ibn Malik al-Ashja'iyy directed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the Sadaqah was given to him by Abu Bakr as-Siddiq. Abu Bakr said to Awf, "Indeed, Allah the Exalted has bestowed the Sadaqah." Awf asked, "What is the Sadaqah?" Abu Bakr replied, "Forty camels from each forty camels." Awf intercepted and took a camel, but Abu Bakr intercepted him and took a camel for his own journey. Awf said, "This camel is for my journey." Abu Bakr said to him, "It is greater in reward for you, so give its right." Abu Bakr then took the camel and gave its right to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, informing him of Awf's actions and words. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Return to him and inform him that Allah has built a house for him in Jannah."
عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ وَجَّهَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الصَّدَقَةُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لِعَوْفٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَدْ أَنْزَلَ الصَّدَقَةَ قَالَ وَمَا الصَّدَقَةُ؟ قَالَ مِنْ كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ نَاقَةٌ نَاقَةٌ قَالَ فَاعْتَرَضْنَا فَخُذْ نَاقَةً فَاعْتَرَضَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَخَذَ نَاقَةً لِرَحْلِهِ فَقَالَ عَوْفٌ إِنَّهَا لَرَحْلِي فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِنَّهَا لَأَعْظَمُ لِأَجْرِكَ قَالَ فَسُقْ حِقَّهَا فَسَاقَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَحِقَّهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِصَنِيعِ عَوْفٍ وَقَوْلِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ فَأَخْبِرْهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ بَنِي لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ»
[Machine] "Awf bin Malik al-Ashja'i witnessed the battle of Khaybar with the Muslims, and he had with him the banner of al-Ashja' on the day of the conquest of Mecca. Then Awf went to Syria during the caliphate of Abu Bakr and settled in Hims, where he remained until the beginning of the caliphate of Abd al-Malik bin Marwan. He died in the year seventy-three and was known by the nickname Abu Amr."
«عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ شَهِدَ خَيْبَرَ مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَكَانَتْ مَعَهُ رَايَةُ أَشْجَعَ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلَ عَوْفٌ إِلَى الشَّامِ فِي خِلَافَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَنَزَلَ حِمْصَ وَبَقِيَ إِلَى أَوَّلِ خِلَافَةِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ ثُمَّ مَاتَ سَنَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَسَبْعِينَ وَكَانَ يُكَنَّى أَبَا عَمْرٍو»
[Machine] "I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the Battle of Tabuk in the late night while he was in his tent. I greeted him and said, 'May I enter, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Enter.' I asked him if I could bring some food, and he replied, 'Bring all of it.' Then he ﷺ said, 'There are six things that will occur before the Day of Judgment. The first is the death of your Prophet Muhammad. Say, 'One.' I said, 'One.' The second is the conquest of Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem). Say, 'Two.' I said, 'Two.' Then he said, 'The third is the death of two individuals in which you will be affected like the shaking off dead hairs from a sheep skin. Say, 'Three.' I said, 'Three.' He continued saying, 'The fourth is the abundance of wealth among you, to the extent that a person will be given one hundred dinars and will still be discontented. Say, 'Four.' I said, 'Four.' The fifth is a trial that will come upon you until hardly a house, goat, or camel remains that will not be affected by it. Say, 'Five.' I said, 'Five.' And the sixth is a treaty that will be made between you and the Banu Asfar (Romans), and they will gather against you forces like the load of a pregnant she-camel, but then they will break the treaty and attack you with eighty banners, each banner carrying twelve thousand soldiers.' The narration was cut off by Adh-Dhahabi in his summary."
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فِي آخِرِ السَّحَرِ وَهُوَ فِي فُسْطَاطِهِ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَقُلْتُ أَدْخُلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ فَقَالَ «ادْخُلْ» فَقُلْتُ كُلِّي فَقَالَ «كُلُّكَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ سِتٌّ قَبْلَ السَّاعَةِ أَوَّلُهُنَّ مَوْتُ نَبِيِّكُمْ قُلْ إِحْدَى قُلْتُ إِحْدَى وَالثَّانِيَةُ فَتْحُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ قُلِ اثْنَيْنِ قُلْتُ اثْنَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَالثَّالِثَةُ مَوْتَانِ يَأْخُذُكُمْ كَقُعَاصِ الْغَنَمِ قُلْ ثَلَاثَةٌ قُلْتُ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ وَالرَّابِعَةُ يُفِيضُ فِيكُمُ الْمَالُ حَتَّى أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُعْطَى مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ فَيَظَلُّ يَتَسَخِطُهَا قُلْ أَرْبَعًا قُلْتُ أَرْبَعًا وَالْخَامِسَةُ فِتْنَةٌ تَكُونُ فِيكُمْ قَلَّمَا يَبْقَى فِيكُمْ بَيْتُ وَبَرٍ وَلَا مَدَرٍ إِلَّا دَخَلَتْهُ قُلْ خَمْسًا قُلْتُ خَمْسًا «وَالسَّادِسَةُ هُدْنَةٌ تَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ بَنِي الْأَصْفَرِ فَيَجْتَمِعُونَ لَكُمْ قَدْرَ حَمْلِ امْرَأَةٍ ثُمَّ يَغْدِرُونَ بِكُمْ فَيُقْبِلُونَ فِي ثَمَانِينَ رَايَةٍ كُلُّ رَايَةٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
[Machine] Regarding the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , he said, "My nation will divide into seventy-three sects, the largest of which is a group that causes trials and tribulations for my nation. They make their own opinions the basis for judging matters and they declare what is forbidden to be permissible, and what is permissible to be forbidden." The mention of this hadith was omitted by Al-Dhahabi in his summarization.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «تَفْتَرِقُ أُمَّتِي عَلَى بِضْعٍ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً أَعْظَمُهَا فِتْنَةٌ عَلَى أُمَّتِي قَوْمٌ يَقِيسُونَ الْأُمُورَ بِرَأْيِهِمْ فَيُحِلُّونَ الْحَرَامَ وَيُحَرِّمُونَ الْحَلَالَ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
