ʿAbdullah bin Shaddad came and entered upon ʿAʿishah ؓ when we were sitting with her, as he was returning from Iraq during the time when ‘Ali ؓ was murdered. She said to him: O ʿAbdullah bin Shaddad, will you tell me the truth about what I am going to ask you? Tell me about these people whom ‘Ali ؓ killed. He said: Why shouldnʿt I tell you the truth? She said: Tell me about them. He said: When ʿAli ؓ corresponded with Muʿawiyah and the two arbitrators gave their verdict, eight thousand of the pious rebelled against him and camped in a land called Harooraʿ, near Koofah. They criticised him and said: You have taken off a chemise that Allah caused you to wear and a title that Allah gave to you, then you went ahead and asked people to issue a decree concerning the religion of Allah. There is no ruling except the ruling of Allah, may He be exalted. When ʿAli ؓ heard about their criticism of him and the reason why they had split from him, he told his caller not to admit anyone but those who had memorised the Qurʿan. When the house was filled with people who had memorised the Qurʿan, he called for a large Mushaf and put it front of him, and he started tapping it with his hand, saying: O Mushaf, tell the people. The people called out: O Ameer al-Muʿmineen, how could you ask it? It is only ink and paper, but we could speak on the basis of what we understand from it. What do you want? He said: These companions of yours who rebelled, between me and them is the Book of Allah, and Allah says in His Book concerning a woman and a man: ʿIf you fear a breach between them twain (the man and his wife), appoint (two) arbitrators, one from his family and the other from hers; if they both wish for peace, Allah will cause their reconciliation.ʿ [an-Nisa 4:35]. The ummah of Muhammad is more important with regard to life and sanctity than a woman and a man. They got angry with me when I wrote a document between me and Muʿawiyah and wrote ʿAli bin Abi Talib [without adding the title Ameer al-Muʿmineen]. But Suhail bin ʿAmr came to us when we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at al-Hudaibiyah, when he made a peace deal with Quraish, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote, ʿIn the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.ʿ Suhail said: Do not write, In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. He said: What should we write? He said: Write: ʿIn Your Name, O Allah.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Write ʿMuhammad the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.ʿ He [Suhail] said: If I knew that you were the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I would not have opposed you. So he wrote: This is what was agreed by Muhammad bin ʿAbdullah with Quraish. And Allah says in His Book: “Indeed in the Messenger of Allah ﷺ (Muhammad) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Dayʿ [Al-Ahzab 33:21]. So ʿAli sent ʿAbdullah bin ʿAbbas ؓ to them and I went out with him until we reached the middle of their camp. Ibnul-Kawwaʿ stood up and addressed the people, saying: O bearers of the Qurʿan, this is ʿAbdullah bin ʿAbbas ؓ . Whoever does not know him, I know of the Book of Allah what can tell you about him, He is one of those concerning whom the words ʿthey are a quarrelsome peopleʿ [Az-Zukhruf 43:58] were revealed. Tell him to go back to the one who sent him and do not discuss the Book of Allah with him. Their spokesmen stood up and said: By Allah, we will discuss the Book of Allah. If he says something sound and true that we recognise we will follow him, and if he says something false we will reject his false argument. So they discussed the Book with ‘Abdullah for three days, and four thousand of them recanted and all of them repented, including Ibnul-Kawwaʿ. He took them to ʿAli in Koofah, and ʿAli sent word to the rest of them, saying: You know the turmoil between us and our opponents. Stay wherever you wish until the ummah of Muhammad ﷺ is united. The deal between us and you is that you should not shed any blood that it is forbidden to shed or commit acts of banditry on the roads or do wrong to any Non Muslim under Muslim protection. If you do that, we will declare war, for Allah does not love those who betray. ʿAʿishah ؓ said: O Ibn Shaddad, did he kill them? He said: By Allah, no sooner had he sent this message to them but they committed acts of banditry, shed blood and regarded it as permissible to harm Ahludh-Dhimmah (non-Muslims living under Muslim protection). She said: Do you swear by Allah? He said: I swear by Allah besides Whom there is no other god that this is what happened. She said: I have heard that the people of Iraq are talking and saying dhuth-thuda, dhuth-thuda [i.e., the one with a deformed arm that looks like a breast]. He said: I saw him and I was with ‘Ali ؓ when he was examining the slain. He called the people and said: Do you know this one? How many of them came and said: I saw him praying in the mosque of Banu So and so, and I saw him praying in the mosque of Banu So and so. And there was no proof of who he was except that. She said: What did ʿAli say when he stood over him, as the people of Iraq claim? He said: I heard him say: Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth. She said: Did you hear him say anything other than that? He said: No, by Allah. She said: Yes, Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth. May Allah have mercy on ʿAli ؓ : it was his habit, if he saw something he liked, to say: Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth. But the people of Iraq fabricated lies against him and added words to what he said.

When we came to Madinah we ate from its fruits and did not feel comfortable in it, and we became ill. The Prophet ﷺ was trying to find out about the well of Badr, and when we heard that the mushrikeen had come, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ marched to Badr, and Badr was a well. We got there before the mushrikeen and we found two of their men, a man from Quraish and a freed slave of “Uqbah bin Abi Muʿait. As for the Qurashi, he managed to escape, but we caught the freed slave of ‘Uqbah and started asking him: How many are the people? He said: By Allah, they are great in number and powerful. When he said that, the Muslims began to beat him and they brought him to the Prophet ﷺ, who said: How many are the people? He said: By Allah, they are great in number and powerful. The Prophet ﷺ tried hard to make him tell him how many they were, but he refused. Then the Prophet ﷺ asked him: How many camels do they slaughter? He said: Ten each day. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: They are one thousand; each camel is for one hundred men. Then a shower of rain fell on us at night and we rushed to seek shelter beneath the trees and leather shields, sheltering from the rain. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spent the night calling upon his Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, saying: “O Allah, if You cause this band to be destroyed, You will never be worshipped.” When dawn came, he called out: ʿPrayer, O slaves of Allah!” And the people came from beneath the trees and shields and the Messenger of Allah led us in prayer and encouraged us to fight. Then he said: ʿThe army of Quraish is beneath this red outcrop of the mountain.ʿ When the people drew close to us, and we stood in ranks facing one another, we saw one of their men, riding a red camel of his, going around among the people. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿO ʿAli, call Hamzah for meʿ - as he was the closest of them to the mushrikeen - and said ʿWho is the one on the red camel and what is he saying to them?ʿ Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿIf there is anyone among the people who is enjoining good, then perhaps it is the one on the red camel.ʿ Hamzah came and said: He is ʿUtbah bin Rabeeʿah, and he is telling them not to fight; he is saying to them: O people, I can see people who are going to fight to the death and you will never be able to harm them, because it will cost you too dear to do so. O people, put the blame on me and say: ʿUtbah bin Rabeeʿah is a coward, although you know that I am not the most cowardly among you. Abu Jahl heard that and said: Are you saying this? By Allah, if anyone else said this I would have insulted him; you are filled with fear, ‘Utbah said: Do you mean me, O you with the whistling rear end (i.e., one who breaks wind a great deal because of fear)? Today you will know which of us is the coward. Then ‘Utbah and his brother Shaibah and his son al-Waleed stepped forward in a display of courage and said: Who will come out to fight in single combat? Six young men of the Ansar stepped forward, but ʿUtbah said: We do not want these; let some of our cousins of Banu ‘Abdul-Muttalib come out. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿGet up, O Ali, get up, O Hamzah, get up, O ʿUbaidah bin al-Harith bin ‘Abdul-Muttalib.ʿ Allah caused ʿUtbah and Shaibah, the two sons of Rabeeʿah, and al-Waleed bin ‘Utbah to be killed and ‘Ubaidah was wounded. We killed seventy of them and captured seventy. A short Ansari man brought al-Abbas bin ʿAbdul-Muttalib as a captive, and al-ʿAbbas said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, by Allah, this is not the one who captured me; I was captured by a bold man who was one of the most handsome of people, who was riding a piebald horse, but I do not see him among the people. The Ansari said: I captured him, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: ʿBe quiet! Allah, may He be exalted, supported you with a noble angel.ʿ ʿAli ؓ said: We took prisoners, and from among Banu ʿAbdul-Muttalib, we captured al-ʿAbbas, ‘Aqeel and Nawfal bin al-Harith.

Abu Bakr bought a saddle from ‘Azib for thirteen dirhams, then Abu Bakr said to 'Azib. Tell al-Bara to carry it to my house. He said: No, not until you tell us what happened when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and you were with him. Abu Bakr said: We started our journey at the beginning of the night and we hastened for one day and one night, until it was midday. I looked into the distance to see whether there was anywhere to seek shade, and I saw a rock, so I went to it and it had a little shade. I smoothed the ground for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and spread a garment of camel hair for him, and said: Lie down and rest, O Messenger of Allah. So he lay down, and I went out to see if I could spot anyone looking for us. Then I saw a shepherd and I said: Who do you belong to, O boy? He said: To a man of Quraish. He mentioned his name and I recognised it. I said: Is there any milk in your sheep? He said: Yes | said: Will you milk some for me? He said: Yes. I told him to do that, so he caught a sheep, then I told him to brush the dust from its teat, then to brush the dust off his hands. I had a small vessel with me on the neck of which was a cloth. He milked a little bit of milk for me and I poured it into the vessel until it cooled down. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When I reached him, he had already woken up. I said: Drink, O Messenger of Allah. He drank until I was pleased, then I said: Is it time to move on? So we moved on and the people were coming after us but none of them caught up with us except Suraqah bin Malik bin Ju'shum, who was riding a horse of his, I said: O Messenger of Allah, someone has caught up with us. He said: ʿDo not be afraid, for Allah is with us.ʿ When he got close to us, and there was no more between us and him then the length of a spear or two or three spears, I said: O Messenger of Allah, this pursuer has caught up with us, and I wept. He said: ʿWhy are you weeping?ʿ I said: I am not weeping for myself; rather I am weeping for you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed against him [the pursuer] and said: “O Allah, protect us from him by whatever means You will.” Then his horse's legs sank into the solid ground up to its belly, and he fell off it. He said: O Muhammad, I know that this is because of you; pray to Allah to save me from my predicament, and by Allah I shall divert away from you any one who is behind me of those who are seeking you. Here is my quiver, take one arrow. You are going to pass by some camels and sheep of mine in such and such a place, take whatever you need from thern. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿI have no need of it.“ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for him and he was released, and he went back to his companions. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I continued on our way until we came to Madinah, where the people met him. They came out on the road and on the roofs, and a lot of servants and children crowded the road saying: Allahu Akbar, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has come, Muhammad has come. The people disputed as to who he would stay with. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿTonight I will stay with Banun-Najjar, the maternal uncles of 'Abdul-Muttalib, to honour them thereby.” The next morning, he went where he was instructed. Al-Bara' bin 'Azib said: The first of the Muhajireen to come to us was Mus'ab bin 'Umair, the brother of Banu 'Abdud-Dar. Then Ibn Umm Maktoom, the blind man and brother of Banu Fihr, came to us. Then 'Umar bin al-Khattab, came to us with twenty riders and we said: What happened to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: He is behind me. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and Abu Bakr was with him. Al-Bara said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not come until I had read some soorahs from al-Mufassal [Al-Mufassal is that portion of the Qur'an which goes from Qaf to an-Nas]. Isra'eel said: al-Bara' was one of the Ansar from Banu Harithah.

[Machine] He heard some of the delegation from Abd al-Qays saying, "We have come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his joy increased upon seeing us. When we reached the people, they made way for us and we sat down. The Prophet ﷺ welcomed us and prayed for us. Then he looked at us and said, "Who is your leader and chief?" We all pointed to Mundhir ibn 'Amr. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Is this the one with the scar?" It was the first day he was given this nickname because of a blow to his face with a donkey's hoof. We said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He then followed the people and assessed their resources and belongings. Then he took off his traveling clothes and put on his best clothes. He then approached the Prophet ﷺ , who had stretched out his leg and leaned on it. When Mundhir approached, the people made way for him and said, "Here is Mundhir!" The Prophet ﷺ straightened himself and sat up, welcomed him, and treated him kindly. Then he asked about his lands and named for him a village called Safa and Mashqar, among other villages. Mundhir said, "By my parents, O Messenger of Allah, you know the names of our villages." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I have already been to your lands and it has opened up to me. Then he approached the Ansar and said, "O people of the Ansar, honor your brothers, for they are like you in Islam, and they bear the closest resemblance to you in hair and appearance. They have submitted willingly, not by force or coercion, as a people who refused to submit were killed. When they woke up, the Prophet ﷺ said, "How do you see the status of your brothers and their hospitality towards you?" They replied, "They are the best brothers. They have provided us with bedding, made our food, stayed with us, and taught us the Book of our Lord and the Sunnah of our Prophet." The Prophet ﷺ was pleased and delighted with this, then he approached us one by one and asked each of us about what we had learned and taught. Some of us learned and taught greetings, the mother of the Book, and two Surahs, while others learned and taught the Sunnah and two Sunnahs. Then he turned to us and said, "Do you have any provisions with you?" The people were happy about this and rushed to prepare their belongings. Each man came with a handful of dates and placed it on a cloth in front of him, holding a piece of cloth in his hand. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you call this a variety of provisions?" We said, "Yes." Then he pointed to another handful of dates and asked, "Do you call this a pair of sandals?" We said, "Yes." Then he pointed to another handful of dates and asked, "Do you call this a gift?" We said, "

[Machine] About the trench, I gathered a group of men from the Quraysh who used to see my location and hear from me. So I said to them, "Do you know, by Allah, I see Muhammad's matter rising greatly, and I have seen a vision. What do you see in it?" They asked, "What did you see?" I said, "I saw that we meet with the Najashi (King of Abyssinia), so that if Muhammad appears over our people, we will be with the Najashi. Because being under his authority is more beloved to us than being under the authority of Muhammad. And if our people appear, they will only bring us goodness." They said, "This plan is good." So I told them to gather what we will present to the Najashi, and the most beloved thing that could be presented to him was Adham from our land. So we gathered a lot of Adham for him, and we traveled until we reached him. By Allah, we were with him when 'Amr ibn Umayyah Ad-Damri came, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had sent him to the Najashi regarding Ja'far and his companions. 'Amr entered upon him and then left his presence. So I said to my companions, "This is 'Amr ibn Umayyah. If I had met the Najashi and asked him for him, he would have given him to me and I would have killed him. So when Quraysh saw that I had relieved them by killing the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , they let me enter upon him. So I prostrated before him as I used to do, and he said, 'Welcome, my friend. Did you bring me anything from your land?' I said, 'Yes, O King, I have brought you a lot of Adham.' He was amazed by them and liked them. Then I said to him, 'O King, I have seen a man who came from you, and he is a Messenger of a man who is an enemy to us. Give him to me so that I can kill him, for he has harmed some of our nobles and elites.' The Najashi became angry and raised his hand, striking his nose. I thought he had broken it, and if the earth had split open for me, I would have entered it due to him. Then I said to him, 'O King, by Allah, if I had thought that you disliked this, I would not have asked you for it.' He said, 'Do you ask me to give you the Messenger of a man whom the greatest catastrophe used to come to, like that which used to come to Musa, so that you can kill him?' I said, 'O King, is he such?' He said, 'Woe unto you, O 'Amr! Obey him and follow him, for by Allah, he is on the truth and he will be victorious. There will come a time when people will appear against him as Musa appeared against Fir'awn and his soldiers.' I said, 'So pledge allegiance to him for Islam.' He said, 'Yes.' He extended his hand and I pledged allegiance to him for Islam. Then I went out to my companions with my vision being different from what it used to be, and I concealed my Islam from my companions. Then I went out following the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to become Muslim. I met Khalid ibn Al-Walid, who was approaching from Makkah, and I said, 'Where are you, O Abu Sulayman?' He said, 'By Allah, the canyons are straight, and that man is truly a Prophet. I will go and become Muslim.' I asked, 'Until when?' He said, 'By Allah, I only came to become Muslim.' I said, 'We have preceded you in pledging allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' So we arrived to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and Khalid ibn Al-Walid became Muslim and pledged allegiance to him. Then I approached and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I pledge allegiance to you on the condition that you forgive me for what has passed of my sins and that you do not mention them. He ﷺ said, 'O 'Amr, pledge allegiance, for indeed Islam erases what came before it, and Hijrah erases what came before it.' I said, 'So I pledged allegiance to him,' and then I departed." Ibn Ishaq said, "I have narrated this story to you from a trustworthy person." Uthman ibn Talhah ibn Abi Talhah was with them when they became Muslim.

[Machine] "Julaibib used to enter upon women and interact with them. So I said to my wife, 'Julaibib should not enter upon you, for if he were to enter upon you, I am afraid that he would do something.' The Ansar would not marry off their daughters until they found out if there was any need for the Prophet, ﷺ , in her. So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to a man from the Ansar, 'Marry your daughter to me.' He said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah, this is certainly an honor.' The Prophet, ﷺ , said, 'I don't want her for myself, but I want her for Julaibib.' The man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, for Julaibib?' He said, 'Yes, for Julaibib.' So he consulted her mother, and when the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came, he informed her of what her mother had said. She said, 'Julaibib, is it him?' She repeated this three times. 'Yes, by Allah, for I will not marry him.' So when he wanted to stand up to inform the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , of what she had said, the girl said, 'Who proposed to me to you?' Her mother informed her. She said, 'Are you rejecting the command of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ?' Push me, for he has not disappointed me.' So her father went to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and informed him. He said, 'What is your opinion about her?' Then he married her to Julaibib. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , went on a campaign, and when Allah granted them victory, he asked his companions, 'Have you lost anyone?' They said, 'We have lost so-and-so, and we have lost so-and-so.' He said, 'Look, have you lost anyone?' They said, 'No.' He said, 'But I have lost Julaibib.' So seek him among the slain.' They searched for him until they found him beside seven men he had killed, and then they killed him.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, here he is, beside seven men he had killed, and then they killed him.' So the Prophet, ﷺ , stood over him and said, 'He has killed seven and then they killed him. This one is from me and I am from him. This one is from me and I am from him.' He raised his head and placed him on his side, and there was no bed except that of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . Then he placed him in his grave. It is not mentioned that he was bathed. Thabit said, 'Wealth that the Ansar had would be spent but they did not find anyone who narrated about it in this world except Hammad bin Salamah. How well he narrated it.'"

Once we were traveling with the Prophet ﷺ and we carried on traveling till the last part of the night and then we (halted at a place) and slept (deeply). There is nothing sweeter than sleep for a traveler in the last part of the night. So it was only the heat of the sun that made us to wake up and the first to wake up was so and so, then so and so and then so and so (the narrator ʿAuf said that Abu Raja' had told him their names but he had forgotten them) and the fourth person to wake up was ʿUmar bin Al- Khattab. And whenever the Prophet ﷺ used to sleep, nobody would wake up him till he himself used to get up as we did not know what was happening (being revealed) to him in his sleep. So, ʿUmar got up and saw the condition of the people, and he was a strict man, so he said, "Allahu Akbar" and raised his voice with Takbir, and kept on saying loudly till the Prophet ﷺ got up because of it. When he got up, the people informed him about what had happened to them. He said, "There is no harm (or it will not be harmful). Depart!" So they departed from that place, and after covering some distance the Prophet ﷺ stopped and asked for some water to perform the ablution. So he performed the ablution and the call for the prayer was pronounced and he led the people in prayer. After he finished from the prayer, he saw a man sitting aloof who had not prayed with the people. He asked, "O so and so! What has prevented you from praying with us?" He replied, "I am Junub and there is no water. " The Prophet ﷺ said, "Perform Tayammum with (clean) earth and that is sufficient for you." Then the Prophet ﷺ proceeded on and the people complained to him of thirst. Thereupon he got down and called a person (the narrator ʿAuf added that Abu Raja' had named him but he had forgotten) and ʿAli, and ordered them to go and bring water. So they went in search of water and met a woman who was sitting on her camel between two bags of water. They asked, "Where can we find water?" She replied, "I was there (at the place of water) this hour yesterday and my people are behind me." They requested her to accompany them. She asked, "Where?" They said, "To Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." She said, "Do you mean the man who is called the Sabi, (with a new religion)?" They replied, "Yes, the same person. So come along." They brought her to the Prophet ﷺ and narrated the whole story. He said, "Help her to dismount." The Prophet ﷺ asked for a pot, then he opened the mouths of the bags and poured some water into the pot. Then he closed the big openings of the bags and opened the small ones and the people were called upon to drink and water their animals. So they all watered their animals and they (too) all quenched their thirst and also gave water to others and last of all the Prophet ﷺ gave a pot full of water to the person who was Junub and told him to pour it over his body. The woman was standing and watching all that which they were doing with her water. By Allah, when her water bags were returned the looked like as if they were more full (of water) than they had been before (Miracle of Messenger of Allah ﷺ) Then the Prophet ﷺ ordered us to collect something for her; so dates, flour and Sawiq were collected which amounted to a good meal that was put in a piece of cloth. She was helped to ride on her camel and that cloth full of foodstuff was also placed in front of her and then the Prophet ﷺ said to her, "We have not taken your water but Allah has given water to us." She returned home late. Her relatives asked her: "O so and so what has delayed you?" She said, "A strange thing! Two men met me and took me to the man who is called the Sabi' and he did such and such a thing. By Allah, he is either the greatest magician between this and this (gesturing with her index and middle fingers raising them towards the sky indicating the heaven and the earth) or he is Allah's true Apostle." Afterwards the Muslims used to attack the pagans around her abode but never touched her village. One day she said to her people, "I think that these people leave you purposely. Have you got any inclination to Islam?" They obeyed her and all of them embraced Islam. Abu ʿAbdullah said: The word Saba'a means "The one who has deserted his old religion and embraced a new religion." Abul 'Ailya [??] said, "The SʿAbis are a sect of people of the Scripture who recite the Book of Psalms." (Using translation from Bukhārī 344)

[Machine] He heard some delegation from the tribe of Abdul-Qais saying, "We have come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he was very pleased with our arrival. When we finished meeting with the people, they made way for us and we sat down. The Prophet ﷺ greeted us and prayed for us. Then he looked at us and said, 'Who is your leader and your chief?' So we pointed to Mujdhir ibn A'idhah. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Is this the one with the scar?' And this was the first day on which he was given this name by being struck on the face with the hoof of a camel. We said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' Then some of the people missed us and their belongings were delayed. So their riding animals and provisions were gathered and their defect was removed. The Prophet ﷺ took off their travel clothes and they wore their good clothes. Then he turned to the Prophet ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ extended his leg and supported himself. When Mujdhir approached him, the people made room for him and said, 'Here, O Mujdhir.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Sit here, O Mujdhir,' and he sat on the right side of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ greeted him and treated him kindly, and he asked him about his land and named a village for him, Safa and Mushaqar, and other villages of migration. Then he said, 'By my father and mother, O Messenger of Allah, you are better acquainted with the names of our villages than us.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Indeed, I have traversed your lands and it was extensive for me.' He said, 'Then he turned to the Ansar and said, 'O people of the Ansar, honor your brothers, for they are similar to you in Islam. The most similar thing to you is a poet. They embraced Islam willingly, not by force or compulsion. When a people refused to embrace Islam, they were killed.' He said, 'When they became the next day, he said, 'How did you find the hospitality of your brothers and their welcoming of you?' They said, 'The best of brothers are the ones who are generous, they made their homes available to us, they provided us with the best food, they slept and woke us up, and they taught us the Book of our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, and the Sunnah of our Prophet ﷺ.' The Prophet ﷺ was pleased and happy with this, and then he approached us one by one, and each of us presented what we had learned and taught. Some of us knew the greetings, the mother of the Book, and the Surah, the two Surahs, and the Sunnah. Then he approached us with his face and said, 'Do you have anything of your provisions with you?'

[Machine] On the authority of Al-Zuhri regarding the statement of Allah (ﷻ), "{Every nation will be called to its book}" [Surah Al-Jathiyah: 28], on the authority of 'Ata ibn Yazid Al-Laythi, on the authority of Abu Hurayrah who said, the people said, "O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He (the Prophet ﷺ) said, "Do you have any difficulty looking at the sun when there are no clouds in the sky?" They said, "No, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you have any difficulty looking at the moon on the night of a full moon when there are no clouds covering it?" They said, "No, O Messenger of Allah." 'Abdul Razzaq once asked, "Do you have any difficulty looking at the moon on the night of a full moon when there are no clouds covering it?" They said, "No, O Messenger of Allah." He (the Prophet ﷺ) said, "You will see your Lord on the Day of Resurrection just as you have no difficulty looking at the sun or the moon." Allah will gather the people and say, "Whoever used to worship something, let them follow it." So those who used to worship the moon will follow the moon, those who used to worship the sun will follow the sun, and those who used to worship the false deities will follow the false deities. Then only the hypocrites will remain. Allah (ﷻ) will come to them in a form that they do not recognize and say, "I am your Lord." They will say, "We seek refuge with Allah from you. This is our station until our Lord comes to us." When our Lord comes to them, they will recognize Him. Allah (ﷻ) will come to them in a form that they recognize and say, "I am your Lord." They will say, "You are our Lord." Then they will follow Him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "A bridge will be set up over Hellfire." The Prophet ﷺ said that he will be the first to cross the bridge and the matter of the messengers will be settled that day. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Allah, grant peace, peace." He described it as being like the thorns of the flower of Sa'dan. He asked, "Have you seen the thorns of the flower of Sa'dan?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "It is like the thorns of the flower of Sa'dan, except that no one knows its exact size except Allah. It will seize the people according to their deeds. Yet some will be saved, such as the wicked who will be thrown into it and those who will be saved. When Allah (ﷻ) finishes judging between people and intends to bring out those who He wants to have mercy upon from the fire

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered Khaybar, Al-Hajjaj bin 'Ilat said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have wealth and family in Makkah, and I want to go to them. I am in a state of Ihram, so if I receive something from you or say something, will I still be considered in a state of Ihram?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave him permission to say whatever he wished, so he went to his wife when he arrived and said, "Gather for me whatever you have, for I want to buy from the spoils of Muhammad ﷺ and his companions, for they have been made permissible. Their wealth has been taken." This news spread in Makkah, and the Muslims were saddened while the polytheists rejoiced. The news reached Al-'Abbas, who was disturbed and could not stand up. Ma'mar mentioned that 'Uthman Al-Jazari told me about Miqussam, who said that his son, named Qutham, was taken by his father and placed on his chest while he said, "My dear Qutham, you resemble the one with the flattened nose, the Asammaynabi, the one with blessings despite people's rejection." Thabit reported from Anas that the boy was then sent to Al-Hajjaj bin 'Ilat, who said to him, "Woe to you! What have you brought and what do you say?" The boy replied, "The promise of Allah is better than what I brought. Al-Hajjaj bin 'Ilat said to his boy, "Read the greeting to my father and tell him that he should let me into some of his houses so that I may come to him. Tell him that the news is according to his liking." When Al-Hajjaj bin 'Ilat's boy arrived at the door of his home, he said, "Be happy, O Abu Al-Fadl!" Al-'Abbas joyfully stepped forward and kissed him between his eyes, and he informed him of what Al-Hajjaj had said. Al-Hajjaj then came and informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had conquered Khaybar, seized their wealth, and the arrows of Allah (referring to the blessings) had been shot in their wealth. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had chosen Safiyyah bint Huyayy for himself and offered her the choice to either be set free and become his wife, or to return to her people. She chose to be set free and became his wife. However, I have come for the wealth that I had here and I wanted to collect it. So, I sought permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he gave me permission to say whatever I wished. So, keep three things secret from me and mention what you may have heard." Al-Hajjaj's wife gathered whatever jewelry and belongings she had and handed them over to him. Then he put them on and, after three days, Al-'Abbas came to Al-Hajjaj's wife and asked her, "What did your husband do?" She informed him that he had left on such and such date and said, "Do not be saddened by what you have heard. May Allah bless you, O Abu Al-Fadl." Al-'Abbas replied, "By Allah, I believe that you are telling the truth." He then left until he came to the gatherings of the Quraysh, where they were saying that when he passed by them, nothing but good would come to him. They said to him, "Nothing but good has come to you, O Abu Al-Fadl." He replied, "By the grace of Allah, nothing but good has come to me. Al-Hajjaj bin 'Ilat has informed me that Khaybar has been conquered by the Prophet ﷺ , the arrows of Allah (referring to the blessings) have been shot in their wealth, and the Prophet ﷺ has chosen Safiyyah for himself. He asked me to keep three things secret from him and said that he only came to collect his wealth that he had here. Then he will leave." Allah removed the sadness that was upon the Muslims and the joy that was upon the polytheists. The Muslims came out, and whoever had entered his home feeling sad returned. They came to Al-'Abbas, and he informed them of the news. The Muslims became joyful, and any feelings of sorrow, anger, or sadness towards the polytheists were reversed.

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ arrived in Al-Madinah accompanied by Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr was an elderly man who was well known, while the Prophet ﷺ was a young man who was not known to the people. As they were walking, a man approached Abu Bakr and asked, "O Abu Bakr, who is this man with you?" Abu Bakr replied, "This man guides me on the right path." The man thought that Abu Bakr meant that the Prophet ﷺ was guiding him on the road, but in reality, Abu Bakr meant that the Prophet ﷺ was guiding him towards goodness. Abu Bakr then turned around and saw a Persian man following them. He said to the Prophet ﷺ , "O Prophet of Allah, there is a Persian man following us." The Prophet ﷺ turned around and supplicated to Allah to stop him, and the man's horse stumbled and fell. Abu Bakr asked the Prophet ﷺ , "O Prophet of Allah, command me to do anything you wish." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Stay where you are, and do not allow anyone to catch up with us." Abu Bakr fought alongside the Prophet ﷺ throughout the day. At the end of the day, the Prophet ﷺ descended near the

They fell into a man who had ten (dirhams) and they fell into a man who said to him (the Prophet ﷺ), "I will send a man whom Allah will never humiliate; he loves Allah and His Messenger." He said, "Who can do this?" They said, "Ali is there." He said, "Where is Ali?" They said, "He is in the grinding mill." He said, "Why would any of you grind?" He said, so he came while he was blind, unable to see. He said, so he spat in his eyes, then he shook the banner three times and gave it to him. So he came with Safiyyah bint Huyy and he sent so-and-so with Surah At-Tawbah, then he sent Ali after him and he took it from him. He said, "No one should take it except a man from me and I am from him." He said, and he said to his cousins, "Which of you will support me in this world and the Hereafter?" He said, and Ali was sitting with him. So they refused. Ali said, "I will support you in this world and the Hereafter." He said, "You are my supporter in this world and the Hereafter." He said, so he left him and then he approached another man from among them and said, "Which of you will support me in this world and the Hereafter?" They refused. He said, so Ali said to him, "I will support you in this world and the Hereafter." He said, "You are my supporter in this world and the Hereafter." He said, and he was the first of the people to embrace Islam after Khadijah. He said, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took off his garment and put it on Ali, Fatimah, Hasan, and Husayn, and said, "Indeed, Allah wants to remove impurity from you, O people of the household, and purify you completely." He said, and Ali sold himself and wore the garment of the Prophet ﷺ, then slept in his place. He said, and the polytheists used to throw stones at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abu Bakr and Ali came, and Ali was sleeping. He said, and Abu Bakr thought that he was the Prophet of Allah. He said, so he said to him, "O Messenger of Allah!" He said, so Ali said to him, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has gone toward Bir Ma'un, so go after him and catch up with him." He said, so Abu Bakr went and entered the cave with him. He said, and Ali was being pelted with stones just as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to be, while he was relieving himself. He had wrapped his head in his garment, not uncovering it until daybreak. Then he uncovered his head and they said to him, "Indeed, you are a wretched one. Your companion we would throw stones at him while he wasn't relieving himself, and here we are throwing stones at you while you are relieving yourself. We have been displeased with that." He said, and he went out with the people in the Battle of Tabuk. He said, and Ali said to him, "Shall I go out with you?" He said, so Ali wept and said to him, "Would you not be pleased to be like Harun to my Musa, except that you are not a prophet? It would not be appropriate for me to go out without you as my caliph." He said, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "You are my guardian of every believer after me." And he said, and he blocked the doors of the mosque except for Ali's door. He said, so he would enter the mosque in a state of impurity, and that was his way, as there was no other way for him. He said, and he said, "Whoever I am his guardian, then Ali is his guardian." He said, and Allah Almighty informed us in the Qur'an that He was pleased with them, the people of the tree and He knew what was in their hearts. Did He inform us that He was displeased with them afterwards? He said, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Umar, when he said, "Give me permission and I will strike his neck," He said, so Ali said to him, "Were you doing that?" And how do you know that Allah has not looked at the people of Badr and said, "Do as you please"?

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , it is narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one day and performed the prayer of migration, then he sat down. The people became startled, so he said, "Sit down, O people, for I did not rise from my place due to fear. Rather, Tamim Ad-Dari came to me and informed me of news that prevented me from experiencing joy and comfort. I wanted to share with you the joy of your Prophet. He informed me that a group from his cousins, the Banu 'Amir, had embarked on the sea, and they were struck by a violent wind. The wind brought them to an island they did not recognize. They sat in their boat until they arrived at the island. Then, they found a creature with a lot of hair that they were unsure if it was a man or a woman. They greeted it, and it returned their greeting. They said, 'Will you not inform us?' It said, 'I do not inform you, nor do I seek information from you. But in this monastery, there is someone who longingly awaits to inform you and seek information from you.' They said, 'Who are you?' It said, 'I am Al-Jassasah.' So, they set off until they reached the monastery. There, they found a man chained up, heavily bound, showing signs of great sadness and complaining a lot. They greeted him, and he returned their greetings. They asked him, 'Who are you?' He said, 'I am from the Arabs.' They asked, 'What have the Arabs done?' He said, 'Has their Prophet come forth after me?' They said, 'Yes.' He asked, 'What have they done?' They said, 'They have believed in him and affirmed him.' He said, 'That is good for them.' He had an enemy, and Allah exposed him to them. They asked, 'Are the Arabs today with one God, one religion, and one word?' They said, 'Yes.' He asked, 'What has happened to the spring of Zughar?' They said, 'The people drink from it, and their crops are irrigated by it.' He asked, 'What has happened to the date palm tree between 'Ammān and Bayt al-Maqdis?' They said, 'It produces fruit every year.' He asked, 'What has happened to the lake of Tabariyyah?' They said, 'It is full.' He sighed deeply, then sighed deeply again, then sighed deeply a third time. He swore, 'By the One in Whose Hands is the Life of Muhammad, it is as though if I were to leave my place right now, I would not leave behind any land belonging to Allah, except that I would tread upon it, except for Taibah. There is no authority for me over it.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'So, thus my joy reaches its peak. Surely, Allah has made Mecca and Medina sacred, and forbidden for the Dajjal to enter. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ swore, 'By the One besides whom there is no deity, there is no path, narrow or wide, in the east which is not guarded by an appointed angel with a drawn sword until the Day of Resurrection. The Dajjal will not be able to enter upon its inhabitants.' 'Amir commented, 'So, I met Al-Muharrir ibn Abi Hurayrah, and I narrated this Hadith to him. He said, 'I bear witness by my father that he narrated to me as you have narrated from Fatimah bint Qays.' However, he said, 'The two sanctuaries are sacred: Makkah and Medina.'

[Machine] The people said, "O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you have any difficulty seeing the sun when there are no clouds covering it?" They replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." He then asked, "Do you have any difficulty seeing the moon on a full moon night when there are no clouds covering it?" They again replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Just like that, you will see Him on the Day of Resurrection. Allah will gather the people and ask those who worshipped something, 'Follow what you worshipped.' So those who worshipped the moon will follow the moon, those who worshipped the sun will follow the sun, and those who worshipped the idols will follow the idols. And this Ummah will be left with its hypocrites. Allah will come to them in a form that they do not recognize, and He will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'We seek refuge with Allah from you. This is our place until our Lord comes to us.' When our Lord comes to them, they will recognize Him. Then Allah will come to them in the form that they recognize, and He will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord,' and they will follow Him."

The Prophet ﷺ said, "A bridge will be set up over Hellfire." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I will be the first one to cross it on that day. O Allah, grant us safety, grant us safety.' This bridge will have hooks like the thorns of the Sa'dan tree. Have you seen the Sa'dan tree?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Indeed, it is like the thorns of the Sa'dan tree, but its size and greatness are known only to Allah. People will be snatched away by their deeds. Among them will be those who are caught by their foreheads with the deeds they used to do, and there will be those who are caught by their backsides. They will be saved until when Allah is finished passing judgment among His servants and He wants to bring out of the Fire those who will be entitled to His mercy from among those who themselves said, 'Laa ilaha illallah (There is no God worthy of worship except Allah).' Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) will order the angels, 'Bring out those who used to utter La ilaha illAllah. And the angels will know them by the marks of prostration on their faces and by the traces of wudu' (ablution) on their limbs. Allah has forbidden the Fire to consume the traces of prostrations or ablution.'" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Thus, they will be brought out, having been burned and turned to charcoal.

[Machine] A young man from the people of Kufa named Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman said, "O Abu Abdullah, did you see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and keep his company?" He replied, "Yes, O nephew of my brother." The young man asked, "How did you behave?" He replied, "By Allah, we exerted ourselves." The young man said, "By Allah, if we had reached him, we would not have left him even if he walked on the ground. We would have made him our leader." Hudhayfah then said, "By Allah, O nephew of my brother, I saw myself with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the Battle of the Trench. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed a nocturnal prayer and then turned towards us and said, 'Who among you will stand and see what the people are doing? Anyone who stands will be guaranteed Paradise by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' No one stood up. Then he prayed another nocturnal prayer and turned towards us again and said the same thing. No one stood up. Then he said, 'O Hudhayfah, go and enter among the people and see what they are doing, but do not inform them until you come back to us.' So I went and entered among the people, and the winds and the soldiers of Allah were doing what they were doing. They did not care about any possessions, fire, or building. Then Abu Sufyan ibn Harb stood up and said, 'O people of Quraysh, let someone among you look at his companion.' Hudhayfah said, 'I took the hand of the man who was beside me and said, 'Who are you?' He replied, 'I am so and so, the son of so and so.' Then Abu Sufyan said, 'O people of Quraysh, by Allah, you are not staying in a permanent dwelling. Al-Kurah has been destroyed and the Banu Qurayzah have betrayed us. We have received information that we dislike, and we are facing winds that make us uneasy. There is no security for us, nor is there a fire for us, nor is there a building that can withstand for us. So depart, for I am departing.' Then he stood by his camel and mounted it. The camel jumped three times and did not release its reins until it was standing. If it were not for the pledge of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that I should not inform anyone until I came back to him, and then do whatever I wished, I would have killed him with an arrow." Hudhayfah continued, "Then I returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who was praying while standing on a mat with the edges turned up. When he saw me, he took me to his resting place and threw a corner of the mat over me. Then he performed the bowing and prostration of his prayer while I was under the mat. When he finished, I informed him of the news. Ghatafan heard of what Quraysh had done and they returned to their lands."

[Machine] When my affairs were mentioned and I was not aware of it, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and gave a sermon about me. He praised and thanked Allah (glory be to Him) for what He has bestowed upon me, then he said, "As for what comes after, inform the people that they have slandered my family and, by Allah, I have never known anything bad about them. They built my family and, by Allah, I have never known anything bad about them, nor has anyone ever entered my house without my presence. I have never been absent during any journey without them being with me." Then Sa'd bin Mu'adh stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall we strike their necks?" A man from the Bani Khazraj stood up, and Umm Hassaan bin Thabit, who was the wife of that man, said, "You lie! By Allah, if they were from the Aws, you would not want to strike their necks until there was fighting between the Aws and the Khazraj within the Masjid, and I do not know anything about them." When it was evening that day, I went out for some need, and Umm Misbah was with me. She stumbled, and she said, "May Misbah be ruined!" I said, "Why do you curse your son?" She remained silent. Then she stumbled again and said, "May Misbah be ruined!" I said, "Why do you curse your son?" Then she stumbled a third time and said, "May Misbah be ruined!" I scolded her and said, "Why do you curse your son?" She said, "By Allah, I only curse him because of you." I asked, "In what matter concerning me?" Then she informed me about the story. I said, "Did my father know about it?" She said, "Yes." I asked, "And the Messenger of Allah?" She said, "And the Messenger of Allah." I became overwhelmed and started crying. Abu Bakr heard my voice while he was on the roof reciting the Qur'an. He came down and said to my mother, "What's wrong with her?" She told him what had happened. He said, "I swear to you, O daughter, that if you had not returned to your house, I would have divorced her." So I went back to my house and my parents were with me. They stayed with me until after Asr prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me. My parents were on my right and left side. The Prophet ﷺ said the Shahada (testimony of faith) and praised and thanked Allah (glory be to Him) for what He has bestowed upon him. Then he said, "O Aisha, if you have committed a mistake or wronged, repent to Allah (glory be to Him). Verily, Allah (glory be to Him) accepts repentance from His servants." Then a woman from the Ansar came and sat at the door. I said to myself, "Doesn't she have any shame?"

[Machine] We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He said, "Do you have any trouble looking at the sun when there are no clouds?" We said, "No." He said, "Then how about looking at the moon on a full moon night when there are no clouds?" We said, "No."

He said, "Indeed, you will see your Lord in a similar manner on the Day of Resurrection. Allah will gather people on the Day of Resurrection in one plain." He said, "Then it will be said, 'Whoever used to worship something, let him follow it.' So those who used to worship the sun will fall into the fire, and those who used to worship the moon will fall into the fire, and those who used to worship idols will fall into the fire." He said, "And everyone who used to worship anything besides Allah, until they fall into the fire."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then only the believers and their hypocrites will remain, between their shoulders, and a few of the People of the Book. Allah will make them insignificant with His hand. Then Allah will come to them and say, 'Are you not following what you used to worship?' They will say, 'We used to worship Allah and we did not see Him.' Then a part of His leg will be uncovered, and no one who used to prostrate to Allah out of sincerity will remain, except that he will fall prostrate. And no one who used to prostrate for showing off and for reputation will remain, except that he will fall on his nose."

He said, "Then the Sirat (bridge) will be placed between Hellfire and the people. The Prophets will be on one side and the people will be on the other side. They will say, 'O Allah, grant safety, grant safety.' It is said to them, 'Look, who among you used to have a dinar's weight of faith in his heart?' They will say, 'We used to fight and strive in battles against the enemy, and we used to perform Hajj and Umrah.' It will be said, 'But you bring them the easement.' Then Allah will say, 'Look, who among you used to have a weight of a dirham of faith in his heart?' They will say, 'We used to enjoin good and forbid evil, and we used to give charity.' It will be said, 'But you bring them the easement.' Then Allah will say, 'Look, who among you used to have a weight of a mustard seed of faith in his heart?' They will say, 'We would say, 'La ilaha illa Allah' (there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah).' It will be said, 'But you bring them the easement.' Abu Sa'id said, 'Between me and you is the Book of Allah.' And I think he meant the statement of Allah, 'And if there is even the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountant.' (Quran 21:47)." He said, "Then they will be brought out of the Fire and will be thrown into a river called Al-Hayawan (Animal River), and they will grow like the growing of a seed in a flood. Do you not see that whatever comes out of the earth to the sun is green? And whatever comes out of the earth to the shade is yellow?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, it is as if you are a shepherd." He said, "Yes, I am like a shepherd.”

سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ نَرَى رَبَّنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ قَالَ هَلْ تُضَارُّونَ فِي الشَّمْسِ لَيْسَ دُونَهَا سَحَابٌ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا لَا قَالَ فَهَلْ تُضَارُّونَ فِي الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ لَيْسَ دُونَهُ سَحَابٌ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا لَا

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَيَبْقَى الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَمُنَافِقُوهُمْ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْهِمْ وَبَقَايَا أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَقَلَّلَهُمْ بِيَدِهِ قَالَ فَيَأْتِيهِمُ اللهُ ﷻ فَيَقُولُ أَلَا تَتَّبِعُونَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ؟ قَالَ فَيَقُولُونَ كُنَّا نَعْبُدُ اللهَ وَلَمْ نَرَ اللهَ فَيُكْشَفُ عَنْ سَاقٍ فَلَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ كَانَ يَسْجُدُ لِلَّهِ إِلَّا وَقَعَ سَاجِدًا وَلَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ كَانَ يَسْجُدُ رِيَاءً وَسُمْعَةً إِلَّا وَقَعَ عَلَى قَفَاهُ

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, she said: One day, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and prayed the prayer of migration, then he sat down. The people became startled, so he said, "Sit, O people, for I did not rise from my place due to fear, but rather Tamim Ad-Dari came to me and informed me of news that deprived me of sleep and comfort. So I wanted to share with you the joy of your Prophet ﷺ. He informed me that a group from his relatives, the Banu 'Amir, rode the sea and a fierce wind overcame them. The wind pushed them towards an unknown island. They sat in wooden boats until they reached the island. Then they found a creature with a lot of hair, not knowing if it was a man or a woman. They greeted the creature with salaam, and the creature replied with salaam. They said, 'Can you inform us?' The creature replied, 'I am not here to inform you or ask for information. However, this monastery became a hardship for you. Inside, there is someone who has been yearning to tell you and ask you about their fate. They said, 'Who are you?' She said, 'I am the spy.' So they went until they reached the monastery. There they found a man who was severely bound, showing a lot of sadness and complaining. They greeted him, and he replied, asking, 'Who are you?' They said, 'We are from the Arabs.' He said, 'What have the Arabs done? Did their Prophet emerge?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'What did they do?' They said, 'They believed in him and affirmed his truthfulness.' He said, 'That is better for them.' He had an enemy, and Allah made him manifest to them. He said, 'So are the Arabs today united in their religion and their word?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'So what did the spring of Zughar do?' They said, 'It is wholesome. Its people drink from it, and their crops are irrigated by it.' He said, 'So what did the palm tree between 'Amman and Bayt Al-Maqdis do?' They said, 'Good. Its vegetation feeds its camels every year.' He said, 'So what did the Lake of Tiberias do?' They said, 'Full.' He said, 'So it sighed, and sighed, and sighed, and then he swore by Allah who there is none worthy of worship except Him, 'By Allah, there is no narrow road or wide road in the flat or mountain except that there is an angel holding a drawn sword until the Day of Resurrection, preventing Ad-Dajjal from entering it.' He said, 'Then I met Al-Muharrar bin Abi Hurayrah, and I informed him of the Hadith of Fatimah bint Qays. He testified to what I testified, except that he said, 'I bear witness that 'Aishah also narrated to me like she narrated to you, Fatimah.' Except that she said, 'The two sanctuaries are sacred: Makkah and Al-Madinah.'"

Yaʿla bin Muslim and ʿAmr bin Dinar and some others narrated the narration of Saʿid bin Jubair. Narrated Saʿid: While we were at the house of Ibn ʿAbbas, Ibn ʿAbbas said, "Ask me (any question)" I said, "O Abu ʿAbbas! May Allah let me be sacrificed for you ! There is a man at Kufa who is a storyteller called Nauf; who claims that he (Al-Khadir's companion) is not Moses of Bani Israel." As for ʿAmr, he said to me, "Ibn ʿAbbas said, "(Nauf) the enemy of Allah told a lie." But Yaʿla said to me, "Ibn ʿAbbas said, Ubai bin Kaʿb said, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Once Moses, Messenger of Allah ﷺ, preached to the people till their eyes shed tears and their hearts became tender, whereupon he finished his sermon. Then a man came to Moses and asked, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Is there anyone on the earth who is more learned than you?' Moses replied, 'No.' So Allah admonished him (Moses), for he did not ascribe all knowledge to Allah. It was said, (on behalf of Allah), 'Yes, (there is a slave of ours who knows more than you ).' Moses said, 'O my Lord! Where is he?' Allah said, 'At the junction of the two seas.' Moses said, 'O my Lord ! Tell I me of a sign whereby I will recognize the place.' " ʿAmr said to me, Allah said, "That place will be where the fish will leave you." Yaʿla said to me, "Allah said (to Moses), 'Take a dead fish (and your goal will be) the place where it will become alive.' " So Moses took a fish and put it in a basket and said to his boy-servant "I don't want to trouble you, except that you should inform me as soon as this fish leaves you." He said (to Moses)." You have not demanded too much." And that is as mentioned by Allah: 'And (remember) when Moses said to his attendant .... ' (18.60) Yushaʿ bin Noon. (Saʿid did not state that). The Prophet ﷺ said, "While the attendant was in the shade of the rock at a wet place, the fish slipped out (alive) while Moses was sleeping. His attend an said (to himself), "I will not wake him, but when he woke up, he forgot to tell him The fish slipped out and entered the sea. Allah stopped the flow of the sea. where the fish was, so that its trace looked as if it was made on a rock. ʿAmr forming a hole with his two thumbs an index fingers, said to me, "Like this, as in its trace was made on a rock." Moses said "We have suffered much fatigue on this journey of ours." (This was not narrated by Saʿid). Then they returned back and found Al-Khadir. ʿUthman bin Abi Sulaiman said to me, (they found him) on a green carpet in the middle of the sea. Al-Khadir was covered with his garment with one end under his feet and the other end under his head. When Moses greeted, he uncovered his face and said astonishingly, 'Is there such a greeting in my land? Who are you?' Moses said, 'I am Moses.' Al- Khadir said, 'Are you the Moses of Bani Israel?' Moses said, 'Yes.' Al-Khadir said, "What do you want?' Moses said, ' I came to you so that you may teach me of the truth which you were taught.' Al- Khadir said, 'Is it not sufficient for you that the Torah is in your hands and the Divine Inspiration comes to you, O Moses? Verily, I have a knowledge that you ought not learn, and you have a knowledge which I ought not learn.' At that time a bird took with its beak (some water) from the sea: Al-Khadir then said, 'By Allah, my knowledge and your knowledge besides Allah's Knowledge is like what this bird has taken with its beak from the sea.' Until, when they went on board the boat (18.71). They found a small boat which used to carry the people from this sea-side to the other sea-side. The crew recognized Al-Khadir and said, 'The pious slave of Allah.' (We said to Saʿid "Was that Khadir?" He said, "Yes.") The boat men said, 'We will not get him on board with fare.' Al-Khadir scuttled the boat and then plugged the hole with a piece of wood. Moses said, 'Have you scuttled it in order to drown these people surely, you have done a dreadful thing. (18.71) (Mujahid said. "Moses said so protestingly.") Al-Khadir said, didn't I say that you can have no patience with me?' (18.72) The first inquiry of Moses was done because of forgetfulness, the second caused him to be bound with a stipulation, and the third was done intentionally. Moses said, 'Call me not to account for what I forgot and be not hard upon me for my affair (with you).' (18.73) (Then) they found a boy and Al-Khadir killed him. Yaʿla- said: Saʿid said 'They found boys playing and Al-Khadir got hold of a handsome infidel boy laid him down and then slew him with knife. Moses said, 'Have you killed a innocent soul who has killed nobody' (18.74) Then they proceeded and found a wall which was on the point of falling down, and Al-Khadir set it up straight. Saʿid moved his hand thus and said 'Al-Khadir raised his hand and the wall became straight. Yaʿla said, 'I think Saʿid said, 'Al-Khadir touched the wall with his hand and it became straight (Moses said to Al-Khadir), 'If you had wished, you could have taken wages for it.' Saʿid said, 'Wages that we might had eaten.' And there was a king in furor (ahead) of them" (18.79) And there was in front of them. Ibn ʿAbbas recited: 'In front of them (was) a king.' It is said on the authority of somebody other than Saʿid that the king was Hudad bin Budad. They say that the boy was called Haisur. 'A king who seized every ship by force. (18.79) So I wished that if that boat passed by him, he would leave it because of its defect and when they have passed they would repair it and get benefit from it. Some people said that they closed that hole with a bottle, and some said with tar. 'His parents were believers, and he (the boy) was a non-believer and we (Khadir) feared lest he would oppress them by obstinate rebellion and disbelief.' (18.80) (i.e. that their love for him would urge them to follow him in his religion, 'so we (Khadir) desired that their Lord should change him for them for one better in righteousness and near to mercy' (18:81). This was in reply to Moses' saying: Have you killed an innocent soul.'? (18.74). 'Near to mercy" means they will be more merciful to him than they were to the former whom Khadir had killed. Other than Saʿid, said that they were compensated with a girl. Dawud bin Abi ʿAsim said on the authority of more than one that this next child was a girl. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4726)

[Machine] "He, Ali, O Amr, you had made a pact with Allah on behalf of Quraysh that no man should invite another man except for one of the two shall be accepted. And so, Amr said, 'Yes.' Then Ali said to him, 'Verily, I invite you to Allah, the Almighty, and to His Messenger ﷺ and to Islam.' Amr replied, 'I have no need for that.' Ali then said, 'Indeed, I invite you to combat.' Amr said, 'O my nephew, why?' Ali replied, 'By Allah, I do not wish to kill you, but I wish for you to kill me.' So Amr became furious and charged at Ali with his horse, but Ali struck the horse and killed it. Amr then approached Ali and said, 'Who will duel with me?' Ali stood up, with his face covered in armor, and said, 'I am the one, O Prophet of Allah.' The Prophet ﷺ allowed him and Ali went towards him saying, 'Do not rush, for there has come to you an answer. Your voice is not weak, and you are knowledgeable and perceptive. And truth is the salvation for every victor. I do hope to avenge upon you a blow that would remain remembered. Amr asked, 'Who are you?' Ali replied, 'I am Ali.' Amr asked, 'The son of whom?' Ali said, 'I am Ali ibn Abi Talib.' Amr then said, 'You have with you, O my nephew, some of your maternal uncles who are better than you. Leave and I do not wish to shed your blood.' Ali replied, 'By Allah, I do not mind shedding your blood.' So Amr became angry, dismounted from his horse, and drew his sword as if it were a flaming torch. He approached Ali in anger, while Ali faced him with his shield. Amr struck at Ali's shield but it fell and remained stuck with his sword. He struck at Ali's head, cutting through it, and Ali struck him on the neck, causing him to fall down. The infidels then made a commotion and the Prophet ﷺ heard the takbeer (Allahu Akbar) and knew that Ali had killed him. Ali then said, 'I am certain that the cavalry will attack in the same manner as I and they will delay my companions today. I am determined and vigilant in my resolve, with no other comrade but Ibn Abd. When I approached him, I swore and summoned them to listen to my recitation from the Book. I am indeed truthful, for I affirm those who exclaim righteousness, two men who strike all opponents. I have with me, a stick between branches, an uncomplaining trunk, tainted by his thoughtlessness. And I worship the Lord of Muhammad, with correctness. Ali then turned towards the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a beaming face. Umar ibn Khattab said to him, 'Why don't you take his armor? For there is no better armor for the Arabs than that.' Ali replied, 'I struck him, fearing him and being shy of my cousin, to take his armor. I left his horses defeated until they were thrown into the trench.'

ʿAbdullah bin Shaddad came and entered upon ʿAʿishah ؓ when we were sitting with her, as he was returning from Iraq during the time when ‘Ali ؓ was murdered. She said to him: O ʿAbdullah bin Shaddad, will you tell me the truth about what I am going to ask you? Tell me about these people whom ‘Ali ؓ killed. He said: Why shouldnʿt I tell you the truth? She said: Tell me about them. He said: When ʿAli ؓ corresponded with Muʿawiyah and the two arbitrators gave their verdict, eight thousand of the pious rebelled against him and camped in a land called Harooraʿ, near Koofah. They criticised him and said: You have taken off a chemise that Allah caused you to wear and a title that Allah gave to you, then you went ahead and asked people to issue a decree concerning the religion of Allah. There is no ruling except the ruling of Allah, may He be exalted. When ʿAli ؓ heard about their criticism of him and the reason why they had split from him, he told his caller not to admit anyone but those who had memorised the Qurʿan. When the house was filled with people who had memorised the Qurʿan, he called for a large Mushaf and put it front of him, and he started tapping it with his hand, saying: O Mushaf, tell the people. The people called out: O Ameer al-Muʿmineen, how could you ask it? It is only ink and paper, but we could speak on the basis of what we understand from it. What do you want? He said: These companions of yours who rebelled, between me and them is the Book of Allah, and Allah says in His Book concerning a woman and a man: ʿIf you fear a breach between them twain (the man and his wife), appoint (two) arbitrators, one from his family and the other from hers; if they both wish for peace, Allah will cause their reconciliation.ʿ [an-Nisa 4:35]. The ummah of Muhammad is more important with regard to life and sanctity than a woman and a man. They got angry with me when I wrote a document between me and Muʿawiyah and wrote ʿAli bin Abi Talib [without adding the title Ameer al-Muʿmineen]. But Suhail bin ʿAmr came to us when we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at al-Hudaibiyah, when he made a peace deal with Quraish, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote, ʿIn the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.ʿ Suhail said: Do not write, In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. He said: What should we write? He said: Write: ʿIn Your Name, O Allah.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Write ʿMuhammad the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.ʿ He [Suhail] said: If I knew that you were the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I would not have opposed you. So he wrote: This is what was agreed by Muhammad bin ʿAbdullah with Quraish. And Allah says in His Book: “Indeed in the Messenger of Allah ﷺ (Muhammad) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Dayʿ [Al-Ahzab 33:21]. So ʿAli sent ʿAbdullah bin ʿAbbas ؓ to them and I went out with him until we reached the middle of their camp. Ibnul-Kawwaʿ stood up and addressed the people, saying: O bearers of the Qurʿan, this is ʿAbdullah bin ʿAbbas ؓ . Whoever does not know him, I know of the Book of Allah what can tell you about him, He is one of those concerning whom the words ʿthey are a quarrelsome peopleʿ [Az-Zukhruf 43:58] were revealed. Tell him to go back to the one who sent him and do not discuss the Book of Allah with him. Their spokesmen stood up and said: By Allah, we will discuss the Book of Allah. If he says something sound and true that we recognise we will follow him, and if he says something false we will reject his false argument. So they discussed the Book with ‘Abdullah for three days, and four thousand of them recanted and all of them repented, including Ibnul-Kawwaʿ. He took them to ʿAli in Koofah, and ʿAli sent word to the rest of them, saying: You know the turmoil between us and our opponents. Stay wherever you wish until the ummah of Muhammad ﷺ is united. The deal between us and you is that you should not shed any blood that it is forbidden to shed or commit acts of banditry on the roads or do wrong to any Non Muslim under Muslim protection. If you do that, we will declare war, for Allah does not love those who betray. ʿAʿishah ؓ said: O Ibn Shaddad, did he kill them? He said: By Allah, no sooner had he sent this message to them but they committed acts of banditry, shed blood and regarded it as permissible to harm Ahludh-Dhimmah (non-Muslims living under Muslim protection). She said: Do you swear by Allah? He said: I swear by Allah besides Whom there is no other god that this is what happened. She said: I have heard that the people of Iraq are talking and saying dhuth-thuda, dhuth-thuda [i.e., the one with a deformed arm that looks like a breast]. He said: I saw him and I was with ‘Ali ؓ when he was examining the slain. He called the people and said: Do you know this one? How many of them came and said: I saw him praying in the mosque of Banu So and so, and I saw him praying in the mosque of Banu So and so. And there was no proof of who he was except that. She said: What did ʿAli say when he stood over him, as the people of Iraq claim? He said: I heard him say: Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth. She said: Did you hear him say anything other than that? He said: No, by Allah. She said: Yes, Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth. May Allah have mercy on ʿAli ؓ : it was his habit, if he saw something he liked, to say: Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth. But the people of Iraq fabricated lies against him and added words to what he said. (Using translation from Aḥmad 656)

[Machine] He said, "The Prophet ﷺ was not supported in any place as he was on the day of Uhud." He said, "We denied that, so Ibn Abbas said, 'Between me and whoever denied that is the Book of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious.' Indeed, Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, says about the day of Uhud, 'And Allah had certainly fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing the enemy by His permission.'" [Surah Al Imran, 152]. Ibn Abbas says that "killing" here means fighting. He also says, "Until when you lost courage and fell to disputing about the matter and disobeyed after He had shown you that which you love. Among you are some who desire this world, and among you are some who desire the Hereafter. Then He turned you back from them [defeated] that He might test you. And He has already forgiven you. And Allah is full of bounty to the believers." [Surah Al Imran, 152]. He meant by this the archers, for the Prophet ﷺ stationed them in a specific place and then said, 'Protect our backs. If you see us being killed, do not come to our aid, and if you see us gaining booty, do not partake in it.' So when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gained booty and made permissible the property of the polytheists, the archers uncovered themselves and entered into the booty, holding one another's fingers. They were surprised by the polytheists who began to attack the Muslims, resulting in the death of many Muslims. The Prophet ﷺ and his companions fought until seven or nine of the leaders of the polytheists were killed. The Muslims fought by the mountain and did not reach where people said the battle took place, as it was beneath the Hudaybiyya. Shaytan shouted, 'Muhammad is killed,' and they did not suspect that it was true until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ emerged among them, walking in a state of apprehension. When he saw him, they recognized him by the way he walked. This brought them great joy, as though nothing had befallen them. He then moved away from them, saying, 'The anger of Allah has increased upon a people who killed their Prophet.' He said again, 'O Allah, surely they cannot overpower us.' Then Abu Sufyan shouted from the bottom of the mountain, 'O Hubal, O Hubal, where is the son of Abu Kabsha, where is the son of Abu Quhafa, where is the son of Al-Khattab?' Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, should I answer him?' He said, 'Yes.' So when Abu Sufyan shouted, 'O Hubal,' Umar said, 'Allah is the Most High and the Most Great.' Abu Sufyan said, 'The day of Badr was a day of mutual hostility and fighting.' Umar said, 'It is not the same, our dead are in Paradise while your dead are in the Fire.' Abu Sufyan said, 'Indeed, you will find in your dead a similar number. However, that was not according to our plan.' Then he encountered the zeal of ignorance and said, 'If that is the case, then we did not like it.'"

أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَا نُصِرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي مَوْطِنٍ كَمَا نُصِرَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ قَالَ فَأَنْكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ مَنْ أَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ ﷻ إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ يَقُولُ فِي يَوْمِ أُحُدٍ {وَلَقَدْ صَدَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ إِذْ تَحُسُّونَهُمْ بِإِذْنِهِ} [آل عمران 152] يَقُولُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَالْحِسُّ الْقَتْلُ {حَتَّى إِذَا فَشِلْتُمْ وَتَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي الْأَمْرِ وَعَصَيْتُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا أَرَاكُمْ مَا تُحِبُّونَ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُرِيدُ الدُّنْيَا وَمِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُرِيدُ الْآخِرَةَ ثُمَّ صَرَفَكُمْ عَنْهُمْ لِيَبْتَلِيَكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَفَا عَنْكُمْ وَاللَّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} [آل عمران 152] وَإِنَّمَا عَنَى بِهَذَا الرُّمَاةَ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَقَامَهُمْ فِي مَوْضِعٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «احْمُوا ظُهُورَنَا فَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمُونَا نُقْتَلُ فَلَا تَنْصُرُونَا وَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمُونَا قَدْ غَنِمْنَا فَلَا تَشْرَكُونَا» فَلَمَّا غَنَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبَاحُوا عَسْكَرَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ انْكَشَفَ الرُّمَاةُ جَمِيعًا فَدَخَلُوا فِي الْعَسْكَرِ يَنْتَهِبُونَ وَقَدِ الْتَقَتْ صُفُوفُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَهُمْ هَكَذَا وَشَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِ يَدَيْهِ وَالْتَبَسُوا فَلَمَّا أَخَلَّ الرُّمَاةُ تِلْكَ الْخَلَّةَ الَّتِي كَانُوا فِيهَا دَخَلَ الْخَيْلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَضَرَبَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا وَالْتَبَسُوا وَقُتِلَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ نَاسٌ كَثِيرٌ وَقَدْ كَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ أَوَّلُ النَّهَارِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ لِوَاءِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ سَبْعَةٌ أَوْ تِسْعَةٌ وَجَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ جَوْلَةً نَحْوَ الْجَبَلِ وَلَمْ يَبْلُغُوا حَيْثُ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ الْغَابَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ تَحْتَ الْمِهْرَاسِ وَصَاحَ الشَّيْطَانُ قُتِلَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَلَمْ يَشُكُّوا فِيهِ أَنَّهُ حَقٌّ فَمَا زِلْنَا كَذَلِكَ مَا نَشُكُّ أَنَّهُ قُتِلَ حَتَّى طَلَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ السَّعْدَيْنِ فَعَرَفْنَاهُ بِتَكَفُّئِهِ إِذَا مَشَى قَالَ فَفَرِحْنَا حَتَّى كَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُصِبْنَا مَا أَصَابَنَا قَالَ فَرَقِيَ نَحْوَنَا وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «أَشْتَدُّ غَضَبُ اللَّهِ عَلَى قَوْمٍ دَمَّوْا وَجْهَ نَبِيِّهِمْ» قَالَ وَيَقُولُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى «اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَعْلُونَا» حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَيْنَا قَالَ فَمَكَثَ سَاعَةً فَإِذَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَصِيحُ فِي أَسْفَلِ الْجَبَلِ اعْلُ هُبَلُ اعْلُ هُبَلُ يَعْنِي آلِهَتَهُ أَيْنَ ابْنُ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا أُجِيبُهُ؟ قَالَ «بَلَى» فَلَمَّا قَالَ اعْلُ هُبَلُ قَالَ عُمَرُ اللَّهُ أَعْلَى وَأَجَلُّ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ إِنَّهُ يَوْمُ الصَّمْتِ فَعَادَ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهَذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَهَا أَنَا ذَا عُمَرُ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَوْمٌ بِيَوْمِ بَدْرٍ الْأَيَّامُ دُوَلٌ وَالْحَرْبُ سِجَالٌ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لَا سَوَاءَ قَتْلَانَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَقَتْلَاكُمْ فِي النَّارِ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ لَتَزْعُمُونَ ذَلِكَ لَقَدْ خِبْنَا إِذًا وَخَسِرْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ سَوْفَ تَجِدُونَ فِي قَتْلَاكُمْ مُثْلَةً وَلَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ عَنْ رَأْي سَرَاتِنَا ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَتْهُ حَمِيَّةُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ نَكْرَهْهُ

[Machine] "Do not be intimidated by them, for they will return. So We revealed (to Ali) and when it was morning, one who looked like me (Ali) went out, and when he went out, I reminded him (the people) of that incident. Ali said, 'Do not be scared by their presence, for their command is insignificant.' Ali said, 'Do not initiate the fight with them until they initiate it with you.' They sat on their knees and we prepared for battle, and we used our shields as protection. They approached us and handed us spears, and then they attacked us with arrows. Then they got closer and they picked up swords to attack us until they wanted to attack us with their swords. Then, a man from the Banu Abdi Qays tribe named Sa'sa'a bin Sohan called out three times and they asked him what he wanted. He said, 'I remind you to have God in your hearts and to fight on the land that will bear disrespect against its people. I remind you to leave behind the religion, as it will leave you behind like an arrow from a bow.' When we saw that they had placed their swords on us, Ali said, 'Get up, with the blessing of Allah the Almighty.' It was not even midday when we were scattered everywhere and we escaped, and whoever ran, ran. Ali thanked Allah and said, 'My friend (the Prophet) informed me that the leader of the enemy was a man whose hands were marked with hair, like the tail of a lizard. Go and find him.' So we looked for him and we could not find him. Then, an man from the people of Kufa came and said, 'Here he is.' Ali said, 'Allah is the Greatest, by Allah, no one will inform you about his father's lineage being the King.' People started saying, 'This is a King.' Ali said, 'Whose son is he?' They said, 'We do not know.' Then, a man from the people of Kufa came and said, 'I know this man. I was offering cattle as a dowry for a certain man from Banu Fulan, a sheikh from Banu Fulan, and I put easy-to-wear ornaments on them. When I turned my back, the cow ran away, and he called me and said, 'Oh boy, look, the cow has run away.' So I said, 'I see an image of a sunset or a sheep.' He got closer to us, and Ali said, 'Who is that man?' The people said, 'This is the one.' Ali said, 'I swear by Allah, this man has come to you from Yamama to worship Allah in the mosque of Kufa. He worshipped Allah there and called the people until they gathered around him.' Ali said, 'My friend (the Prophet) informed me that these are three brothers from the Jinn. This is the eldest, the second has a large following, and the third one is weak.' Muslim narrated this hadith in Sahih al-Masnad in an abbreviated manner, and it is an authentic hadith."

[Machine] The people, O Messenger of Allah, asked: "Will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun when there are no clouds?" They replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Then, do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on a full moon night when there are no clouds?" They replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Indeed, you will see Him on the Day of Resurrection just as you have no difficulty in seeing the sun and the moon in their clear skies. Allah will gather the people on the Day of Resurrection and say, 'Whoever used to worship something, let him follow it.' So, those who used to worship the sun will follow the sun, and those who used to worship the moon will follow the moon, and those who used to worship idols will follow the idols. Then, the remainder of this Ummah will remain with their hypocrites. Allah will come to them in a form that they will recognize and will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'We seek refuge with Allah from you. This is our place until our Lord comes to us.' When our Lord comes to them, they will recognize Him and say, 'You are our Lord.' But a bridge will be placed over Hellfire." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I will be the first one to cross it. The invocation of the Messengers on that day will be, 'O Allah, grant safety, grant safety,' and with me will be my followers, resembling the boughs of a tree (or the sa'adān)?" It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the boughs of a tree (sa'adān)?" He replied, "Do you know the extent of the boughs of a tree?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "It is like that, but Allah Alone knows its real extent. Then, the people will go on being examined and interrogated regarding their deeds. Some of them will be saved by their deeds, while others will be ruined, Many of those who will be ruined will be subject to punishment and thus will be purified (through the fire of Hell), until Allah, the Lord of the worlds, will come to them and ask, 'Whoever said, 'La ilaha illâ Allah' (None has the right to be worshiped but Allah), bring all his good deeds to reward him.' They will come forward with all their good deeds, but the one who will weigh most heavily in the balance, will be his testimony of having said, 'La ilaha illâ Allah.' The person will be saved (from the Hellfire) and laughed at." Allah will then say, "Go and enter the Paradise." The person will keep asking Allah for the fulfillment of his desires, so Allah will remind him and say, "Didn't you assert that you would not ask for anything other than what you have already been given? Woe to you, O son of Adam! How treacherous you were!" The person will then invoke Allah again and again, and Allah will say, "If I give you that, will you then ask for anything else?" The person will say, "No, by Your Majesty! I shall not ask for anything else." Allah will fulfill his desire and let him enter Paradise. The person will be so contented that he will remain quiet and will not stand up (for any need), but Allah will prompt him and say, "Do you want anything else?" Until all his desires and wishes will be fulfilled, then Allah will say, "This is for you, and so is ten times the like of it, and a similar palace, the like of which you have seen." Abu Sa`id (a companion of the Prophet) added, "If you wish, you can recite this verse from the Holy Quran: 'For those who have done good is the best reward and even more.'" (10:26)

النَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ نَرَى رَبَّنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هَلْ تُضَارُّونَ فِي الشَّمْسِ لَيْسَ دُونَهَا سَحَابٌ؟ » قَالُوا لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَهَلْ تُضَارُّونَ فِي الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ لَيْسَ دُونَهُ سَحَابٌ؟ » قَالُوا لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَإِنَّكُمْ تَرَوْنَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَذَلِكَ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ شَيْئًا فَلْيَتَّبِعْهُ فَيَتَّبِعُ مَنْ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ الشَّمْسَ الشَّمْسَ وَمَنْ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ الْقَمَرَ الْقَمَرَ وَيَتَّبِعُ مَنْ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ الطَّوَاغِيتَ الطَّوَاغِيتَ وَتَبْقَى هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ فِيهَا مُنَافِقُوهَا فَيَأْتِيهِمُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا فِي غَيْرِ صُورَتِهِ الَّتِي يَعْرِفُونَ فَيَقُولُ أَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْكَ هَذَا مَقَامُنَا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَنَا رَبُّنَا فَإِذَا جَاءَنَا رَبُّنَا عَرَفْنَاهُ قَالَ فَيَأْتِيهِمْ فِي الصُّورَةِ الَّتِي يَعْرِفُونَ فَيَقُولُ أَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ أَنْتَ رَبُّنَا وَيُضْرَبُ جِسْرٌ عَلَى جَهَنَّمَ» قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «فَأَكُونُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يَجُوزُهُ وَدَعْوَةُ الرُّسُلِ يَوْمَئِذٍ اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْ سَلِّمْ وَبِهِ كَلَالِيبُ مِثْلُ شَوْكِ السَّعْدَانِ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ شَوْكَ السَّعْدَانِ؟ » قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَإِنَّهَا مِثْلُ شَوْكِ السَّعْدَانِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَعْلَمُ قَدْرَ عِظَمِهَا إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَتَخْطَفُ النَّاسَ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ فَمِنْهُمُ الْمُوبَقُ بِعَمَلِهِ وَمِنْهُمُ الْمُخَرْدَلُ ثُمَّ يَنْجُو حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْقَضَاءِ بَيْنَ عِبَادِهِ وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ مِنَ النَّارِ مَنْ أَرَادَ مِمَّنْ كَانَ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ أَنْ يُخْرِجُوهُمْ فَيَعْرِفُونَهُمْ بِعَلَامَةِ آثَارِ السُّجُودِ قَالَ وَحَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّارِ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ مِنِ ابْنِ آدَمَ أَثَرَ السُّجُودِ قَالَ فَيُخْرِجُونَهُمْ قَدِ امْتُحِشُوا فَيُصَبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَاءٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَاءُ الْحَيَاةِ فَيَنْبُتُونَ نَبَاتَ الْحَبَّةِ فِي حَمِيلِ السَّيْلِ قَالَ وَيَبْقَى رَجُلٌ مُقْبِلٌ بِوَجْهِهِ عَلَى النَّارِ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ قَدْ قَشَبَنِي رِيحُهَا وَأَحْرَقَنِي ذَكَاؤُهَا فَاصْرِفْ وَجْهِي عَنِ النَّارِ فَلَا يَزَالُ يَدْعُو فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا فَلَعَلِّي إِنْ أَعْطَيْتُكَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهُ فَيَقُولُ لَا وَعِزَّتِكَ لَا أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهُ فَيَصْرِفُ وَجْهَهُ عَنِ النَّارِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَا رَبِّ قَرِّبْنِي إِلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَقُولُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا أَلَيْسَ قَدْ زَعَمْتَ أَنْ لَا تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهُ؟ وَيْلَكَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَا أَغْدَرَكَ فَلَا يَزَالُ يَدْعُو فَيَقُولُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا فَلَعَلَّكَ إِنْ أَعْطَيْتُكَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهُ فَيَقُولُ لَا وَعِزَّتِكَ لَا أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهُ وَيُعْطِي اللَّهَ مِنْ عُهُودٍ وَمَوَاثِيقَ أَنْ لَا يَسْأَلَهُ غَيْرَهُ فَيُقَرِّبُهُ إِلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلَمَّا قَرَّبَهُ مِنْهَا انْفَهَقَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ فَإِذَا رَأَى مَا فِيهَا سَكَتَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَسْكُتَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ فَيَقُولُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا أَلَيْسَ قَدْ زَعَمْتَ أَنْ لَا تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهُ وَيْلَكَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَا أَغْدَرَكَ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي أَشْقَى خَلْقِكَ قَالَ فَلَا يَزَالُ يَدْعُو حَتَّى يَضْحَكَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا فَإِذَا ضَحِكَ مِنْهُ أَذِنَ لَهُ بِالدُّخُولِ دُخُولِ الْجَنَّةِ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ قِيلَ لَهُ تَمَنَّ كَذَا وَتَمَنَّ كَذَا فَيَتَمَنَّى حَتَّى تَنْقَطِعَ بِهِ الْأَمَانِيُّ فَيَقُولُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا هُوَ لَكَ وَمِثْلُهُ مَعَهُ» قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «هُوَ لَكَ وَعَشَرَةُ أَمْثَالِهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ حَفِظْتُ » هُوَ لَكَ وَمِثْلُهُ مَعَهُ وَذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ آخِرُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ دُخُولًا «

[Machine] From his father and others, they prepared to meet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the following year in Mecca, along with those who followed them from their people. They left in the following year, seventy men among those who left their land of polytheism, Ka'b bin Malik said, "Until we were in the vicinity of the desert, Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur bin Sakhra bin Khansa', who was our elder and leader, said, 'I saw a vision, and by Allah, I do not know if you agree with me or not. I saw that I should not be one of those who seeks to destroy the Ka'bah, even though I pray towards it.' We said, 'Do not do that, for we have not received any report that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ prays except towards Ash-Sham, and we only pray towards his Qiblah.' So we insisted on this with him, and he insisted on it with us, and we set out with that. When it was time for prayer, he prayed towards the Ka'bah and we prayed towards Ash-Sham until we reached Mecca. Ka'b bin Malik said, "Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur bin Sakhra' said to me, 'By Allah, my nephew, it has occurred to me during this journey something that I would like you to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about, for it has occurred to me something regarding this matter in my mind. I have seen that I should not be one of those who seeks to destroy the Ka'bah, even though I pray towards it, and my companions have reproached me and opposed me until it has occurred to me something regarding this in my mind.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, you were on a Qiblah, so if you had persevered in it.' And he did not add anything to that." Then we went to Mina and performed the Hajj until when it was the middle of the days of Tashreeq, we (the Prophet and us) approached Al-Aqabah. We came out quietly from our tents and hid that from the polytheists among our people. When we gathered at Al-Aqabah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came with his uncle Al-Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the Qur'an to us, and we responded to him and believed in him and accepted what he said. Then Al-Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib spoke and said, "O people of the Khazraj, indeed Muhammad is one of us, as you know, and we have prevented him from one of the things that we have prevented ourselves and our women and children from. Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur spoke and took the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Give us your pledge." He said, "I give you my pledge on the condition that you protect me from those things that you protect yourselves, your women, and your children from." He said, "Yes, by the One Who sent you with the truth, we are the people of war, and we have inherited it from one generation to another."

I went out with 'Ubaidullah bin ʿAdi Al-Khaiyar. When we reached Hims (i.e. a town in Syria), 'Ubaidullah bin ʿAdi said (to me), "Would you like to see Wahshi so that we may ask him about the killing of Hamza?" I replied, "Yes." Wahshi used to live in Hims. We enquired about him and somebody said to us, "He is that in the shade of his palace, as if he were a full water skin." So we went up to him, and when we were at a short distance from him, we greeted him and he greeted us in return. 'Ubaidullah was wearing his turban and Wahshi could not see except his eyes and feet. 'Ubaidullah said, "O Wahshi! Do you know me?" Wahshi looked at him and then said, "No, by Allah! But I know that ʿAdi bin Al-Khiyar married a woman called Um Qital, the daughter of Abu Al-Is, and she delivered a boy for him at Mecca, and I looked for a wet nurse for that child. (Once) I carried that child along with his mother and then I handed him over to her, and your feet resemble that child's feet." Then 'Ubaidullah uncovered his face and said (to Wahshi), "Will you tell us (the story of) the killing of Hamza?" Wahshi replied "Yes, Hamza killed Tuaima bin ʿAdi bin Al-Khaiyar at Badr (battle) so my master, Jubair bin Mutʿim said to me, 'If you kill Hamza in revenge for my uncle, then you will be set free." When the people set out (for the battle of Uhud) in the year of 'Ainain ..'Ainain is a mountain near the mountain of Uhud, and between it and Uhud there is a valley.. I went out with the people for the battle. When the army aligned for the fight, Siba' came out and said, 'Is there any (Muslim) to accept my challenge to a duel?' Hamza bin ʿAbdul Muttalib came out and said, 'O Siba'. O Ibn Um Anmar, the one who circumcises other ladies! Do you challenge Allah and His Apostle?' Then Hamza attacked and killed him, causing him to be non-extant like the bygone yesterday. I hid myself under a rock, and when he (i.e. Hamza) came near me, I threw my spear at him, driving it into his umbilicus so that it came out through his buttocks, causing him to die. When all the people returned to Mecca, I too returned with them. I stayed in (Mecca) till Islam spread in it (i.e. Mecca). Then I left for Taif, and when the people (of Taif) sent their messengers to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I was told that the Prophet ﷺ did not harm the messengers; So I too went out with them till I reached Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When he saw me, he said, 'Are you Wahshi?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Was it you who killed Hamza?' I replied, 'What happened is what you have been told of.' He said, 'Can you hide your face from me?' So I went out when Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, and Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab appeared (claiming to be a prophet). I said, 'I will go out to Musailamah so that I may kill him, and make amends for killing Hamza. So I went out with the people (to fight Musailamah and his followers) and then famous events took place concerning that battle. Suddenly I saw a man (i.e. Musailamah) standing near a gap in a wall. He looked like an ash-colored camel and his hair was dishevelled. So I threw my spear at him, driving it into his chest in between his breasts till it passed out through his shoulders, and then an Ansari man attacked him and struck him on the head with a sword. ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar said, 'A slave girl on the roof of a house said: Alas! The chief of the believers (i.e. Musailamah) has been killed by a black slave." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4072)

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and we traveled at night until it was late in the night. Then we experienced this incident, and there is no better incident for travelers than this. None of us woke up except due to the heat of the sun. He (the narrator) said, "The first to wake up was so and so, then so and so, then so and so." And they were known as Abu Rajaa's group, but Owf forgot them. Then Umar ibn Al-Khattab, the fourth one, woke up. He (the narrator) said, "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to sleep, we would not wake him up until he woke up, because we did not know what might happen to him in his sleep." He (the narrator) said, "So when Umar woke up and saw what had befallen the people, he exclaimed and raised his voice in takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar), and he continued to exclaim and raise his voice in takbeer until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up due to his voice. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up, he complained about what had happened to them, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'No harm or danger, proceed.' So he (Umar) traveled a short distance and then stopped. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ descended and called for water, performed ablution, and the call to prayer was announced. He led the people in prayer. When he completed his prayer, he saw a man who had not prayed with the rest of the people. He said, 'What prevented you, O so and so, from praying with the people?' He said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I was experiencing sexual impurity and I did not have water.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Go and use the desert sand, for it will suffice you.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ traveled, and the people complained to him about their thirst. So he descended and called for so and so, who was known as Abu Rajaa, and Owf forgot about him, and he called for Ali. He said, 'Go and fetch us water.' So they met a woman carrying water on a camel. They said to her, 'Where is the water?' She said, 'I made a promise to provide water at this hour yesterday, but we are out.' They said, 'Then go,' and she said, 'Where to?' They said, 'To the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' She said, 'Is this the one they call As-Saabi?' They said, 'Yes, that is the one.' So they brought her to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him about it. He (the narrator) said, 'They dismounted her from her camel, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for a container and emptied the water from the mouths of the two water skins. He splashed their openings and released the knot of the water container. Then he called out to the people to drink. So he gave water to whomever he wished and they drank. Finally, he said to the one who had experienced sexual impurity, 'Go, and may it suffice you.' He said, 'By Allah, it did indeed relieve me of the need, but it seems to us that the water was more plentiful than when we first started. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Gather food for her.' So he collected some dates, flour, and barley until they had gathered a lot of food. They placed it in a garment and carried it on her camel. And they placed the garment between her hands. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, 'You know that we did not take anything of your water, but it was Allah who provided it for us.' She went to her people, and they asked her, 'What detained you, O so and so?' She said, 'It is amazing, two men met me and took me to the one they call As-Saabi, and he did such and such to me. By Allah, it seems that he is more skilled in magic than anyone between this and that.' Then she said to her people, 'By Allah, these people invite you to Islam, so is there any Islam for you?' So the people obeyed her and entered into Islam."

[Machine] "He (referring to Ali) has arrived in the city along with the people of Abiyyat from your tribe. And we have commanded them to surrender, so divide it among them. So I said, 'O Amir al-Mu'minin (Commander of the Faithful), order someone else to do that.' He replied, 'Take it, O man.' He said, 'While I was in this condition, their leader came and spoke to me kindly. He said, 'This is Uthman, Abdul Rahman bin Auf, Saad bin Abi Waqqas, and Zubair bin al-Awwam. I do not know if Talhah is there or not, or should they seek your permission on behalf of anyone?' He said, 'Give them permission.' He said, 'Then he waited for an hour. Then he came and said, 'Abbas and Ali seek permission to come to you.' He said, 'Give them permission.' When Abbas came in, he said, 'O Amir al-Mu'minin, decide between me and this person (Ali).' They both immediately began to quarrel about the property that Allah had bestowed upon His Messenger from the wealth of Banu al-Nadhir. The people said, 'Decide between them, O Amir al-Mu'minin, and relieve each of them from their opponent, for their dispute has been going on for too long.' Umar said, 'I adjure the two of you by Allah, Whose permission the heavens and the earth need for their existence, do you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "We do not leave behind any inheritance, whatever we leave is for charity"?'They said, 'Indeed, he said that.' Then he repeated to them the same words. They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Then I inform you about this surplus. Indeed, Allah, the Exalted, allotted something specifically to His Prophet ﷺ that He did not give to anyone else. He said, "And what Allah gave as booty to His Messenger from them - you did not spur for it [in horse] or for camel - any acquisition [ajfa] [as that of war booty] is exclusively for the Messenger - Allah's pleasure be upon him. And you have expended no small [effort] or burdened ‘to force ] in horse] but Allah has endeared to His Messenger and has hastened an union between the Muhajireen [Emigrants] and the Ansaar [Helpers] who supported him." (Quran, 59:6) This surplus of the booty was specifically for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and, I swear by Allah, you did not get any of it, nor did you have any preference over it. It was distributed among you and spent on you, until what remained was what remains (with me) from the money. He would spend on his dependents for a year, and sometimes a year's provisions would hold him back, and then he would treat whatever remained as the property of Allah. When Allah took away His Messenger ﷺ , Abu Bakr said, 'I am the successor of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ after him, so I will do in it what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr did.' Then it came to me after Abu Bakr for two years during my period of leadership, so I did in it what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr did. And when you came to me, both of you came to me, Abbas seeking his share of inheritance from his nephew, and Ali asking me for his wife's inheritance. So I said to both of you, 'I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "We do not leave behind any inheritance, whatever we leave is for charity."' Then it occurred to me that I should give it to both of you. So I took your pledge and oath with Allah that you would act in it as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr did. When I took it, you told me to give it to you based on something other than that, and by Him in Whose Hand is my soul, Who raises the heavens and lowers the mountains, I will not decide between you in this matter except with this judgment. If you both cannot do it (i.e., settle the matter), then hand it over to me.' So Ali prevailed over him and it remained with Ali. Then it was in the hands of Hasan bin Ali, then in the hands of Husain bin Ali, then in the hands of Ali bin Husain, then in the hands of Al-Hasan bin Hasan, then in the hands of Zaid bin Hasan. Ma'mar said: Then it was in the hands of Abdullah bin Hasan."

Abu Bakr bought a saddle from ‘Azib for thirteen dirhams, then Abu Bakr said to 'Azib. Tell al-Bara to carry it to my house. He said: No, not until you tell us what happened when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and you were with him. Abu Bakr said: We started our journey at the beginning of the night and we hastened for one day and one night, until it was midday. I looked into the distance to see whether there was anywhere to seek shade, and I saw a rock, so I went to it and it had a little shade. I smoothed the ground for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and spread a garment of camel hair for him, and said: Lie down and rest, O Messenger of Allah. So he lay down, and I went out to see if I could spot anyone looking for us. Then I saw a shepherd and I said: Who do you belong to, O boy? He said: To a man of Quraish. He mentioned his name and I recognised it. I said: Is there any milk in your sheep? He said: Yes | said: Will you milk some for me? He said: Yes. I told him to do that, so he caught a sheep, then I told him to brush the dust from its teat, then to brush the dust off his hands. I had a small vessel with me on the neck of which was a cloth. He milked a little bit of milk for me and I poured it into the vessel until it cooled down. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When I reached him, he had already woken up. I said: Drink, O Messenger of Allah. He drank until I was pleased, then I said: Is it time to move on? So we moved on and the people were coming after us but none of them caught up with us except Suraqah bin Malik bin Ju'shum, who was riding a horse of his, I said: O Messenger of Allah, someone has caught up with us. He said: ʿDo not be afraid, for Allah is with us.ʿ When he got close to us, and there was no more between us and him then the length of a spear or two or three spears, I said: O Messenger of Allah, this pursuer has caught up with us, and I wept. He said: ʿWhy are you weeping?ʿ I said: I am not weeping for myself; rather I am weeping for you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed against him [the pursuer] and said: “O Allah, protect us from him by whatever means You will.” Then his horse's legs sank into the solid ground up to its belly, and he fell off it. He said: O Muhammad, I know that this is because of you; pray to Allah to save me from my predicament, and by Allah I shall divert away from you any one who is behind me of those who are seeking you. Here is my quiver, take one arrow. You are going to pass by some camels and sheep of mine in such and such a place, take whatever you need from thern. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿI have no need of it.“ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for him and he was released, and he went back to his companions. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I continued on our way until we came to Madinah, where the people met him. They came out on the road and on the roofs, and a lot of servants and children crowded the road saying: Allahu Akbar, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has come, Muhammad has come. The people disputed as to who he would stay with. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿTonight I will stay with Banun-Najjar, the maternal uncles of 'Abdul-Muttalib, to honour them thereby.” The next morning, he went where he was instructed. Al-Bara' bin 'Azib said: The first of the Muhajireen to come to us was Mus'ab bin 'Umair, the brother of Banu 'Abdud-Dar. Then Ibn Umm Maktoom, the blind man and brother of Banu Fihr, came to us. Then 'Umar bin al-Khattab, came to us with twenty riders and we said: What happened to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: He is behind me. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and Abu Bakr was with him. Al-Bara said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not come until I had read some soorahs from al-Mufassal [Al-Mufassal is that portion of the Qur'an which goes from Qaf to an-Nas]. Isra'eel said: al-Bara' was one of the Ansar from Banu Harithah. (Using translation from Aḥmad 3)

AbdulMuttalib ibn Rabi'ah ibn al-Harith said that his father, Rabi'ah ibn al-Harith, and Abbas ibn al-Muttalib said to AbdulMuttalib ibn Rabi'ah and al-Fadl ibn Abbas: Go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and tell him: Messenger of Allah, we are now of age as you see, and we wish to marry. Messenger of Allah, you are the kindest of the people and the most skilled in matchmaking. Our fathers have nothing with which to pay our dower. So appoint us collector of sadaqah (zakat), Messenger of Allah, and we shall give you what the other collectors give you, and we shall have the benefit accruing from it. Ali came to us while we were in this condition. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: No, I swear by Allah, he will not appoint any of you collector of sadaqah (zakat). Rabi'ah said to him: This is your condition; you have gained your relationship with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ by marriage, but we did not grudge you that. Ali then put his cloak on the earth and lay on it. He then said: I am the father of Hasan, the chief. I swear by Allah, I shall not leave this place until your sons come with a reply (to the question) for which you have sent them to the Prophet ﷺ. AbdulMuttalib said: So I and al-Fadl went towards the door of the apartment of the Prophet ﷺ. We found that the noon prayer in congregation had already started. So we prayed along with the people. I and al-Fadl then hastened towards the door of the apartment of the Prophet ﷺ. He was (staying) with Zaynab, daughter of Jahsh, that day. We stood until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came. He caught my ear and the ear of al-Fadl. He then said: Reveal what you conceal in your hearts. He then entered and permitted me and al-Fadl (to enter). So we entered and for a little while we asked each other to talk. I then talked to him, or al-Fadl talked to him (the narrator, Abdullah was not sure). He said: He spoke to him concerning the matter about which our fathers ordered us to ask him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent for a moment and raised his eyes towards the ceiling of the room. He took so long that we thought he would not give any reply to us. Meanwhile we saw that Zaynab was signalling to us with her hand from behind the veil, asking us not to be in a hurry, and that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was (thinking) about our matter. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then lowered his head and said to us: This sadaqah (zakat) is a dirt of the people. It is legal neither for Muhammad nor for the family of Muhammad. Call Nawfal ibn al-Harith to me. So Nawfal ibn al-Harith was called to him. He said: Nawfal, marry AbdulMuttalib (to your daughter). So Nawfal married me (to his daughter). The Prophet ﷺ then said: Call Mahmiyyah ibn Jaz'i to me. He was a man of Banu Zubayd, whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had appointed collector of the fifths. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Mahmiyyah: Marry al-Fadl (to your daughter). So he married him to her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Stand up and pay the dower from the fifth so-and-so on their behalf. Abdullah ibn al-Harith did not name it (i.e. the amount of the dower).

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said while we were in Al-Medina, "I have been informed about the army of Abu Sufyan that it is approaching. Would you like us to go out to face this army in the hope that Allah may bless us with its spoils?" We replied, "Yes." So, the Prophet and we went out. After we had traveled for a day or two, he asked us, "What do you see concerning the enemy? Has news of your departure spread among them?" We replied, "No, by Allah, they do not know of our departure, nor do we have the strength to fight them. We only desire to gain the spoils." The Prophet then asked, "What do you see concerning fighting the enemy?" We replied, "The same as you, O Messenger of Allah." Al-Miqdad ibn Amr then said, "Then we should not say to you what the people of Moses said to Moses, 'Go, you and your Lord, and fight. We are sitting right here.'" So, we wished that we had said what Al-Miqdad said, even if it meant not having great wealth. Then, Allah, the Exalted, sent down (two verses) on His Messenger: 'As your Lord brought you forth from your house in truth, while a party among the believers were averse to it in dispute with you after the truth had become clear, as if they were being driven to death while they were looking on' (Quran 8:5-6). And Allah revealed, 'Indeed, I am with you, so respond to those who have believed and have trust in me. I shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike above their necks and strike all their finger joints' (Quran 8:12). And He also revealed, 'And when Allah promised you one of the two groups (of enemies) that it would be yours and you wished that the unarmed one would be yours' (Quran 8:7). The "group" referred to the enemy, while "the unarmed one" referred to the spoils of war. When we were thus promised victory over one of the two groups (of enemies), either the enemy or the spoils, it pleased us. Then, the Messenger of Allah sent a man to scout the enemy's position. He came back saying, "I saw them as blackness and I do not know." The Messenger of Allah said, "They are they, so come, let us go and meet them." So, we proceeded and found ourselves to be 313 men. The Messenger of Allah informed us of our number, so Allah blessed us with that. Then, he praised Allah and said, 'The number of soldiers for the campaign of Talut were just like this.' Then, we met the enemy and the front rows of our army attacked the front rows of theirs. The Messenger of Allah looked at them and said, 'Fight with me, fight with me!' Then the Messenger of Allah recited, 'O Allah, I ask You for Your Promise.' Ibn Rawaha said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I want to direct you by gestures.' The Messenger of Allah is the best of those who can be directed by gestures. Allah is greater than to be asked for His Promise and then abandoned. So, he took a handful of soil and tossed it into the faces of the enemy. They turned their backs and fled. Allah then revealed, 'It was not you who threw, when you threw, but it was Allah who threw' (Quran 8:17). So, we killed and captured and among those captured was the wife of Abu Sufyan. Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I do not think that you should have captives until we cut our enemies down, because they might submit to their religion out of compassion for them.' The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , refrained from doing so. Then, the Messenger of Allah fell asleep and then woke up and said, 'Invoke Allah's blessings upon Umar.' So, he was invoked blessings upon. The Messenger of Allah said, 'Verily, Allah, the Exalted, has revealed: 'It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he has fought against the enemies in the land. You desire the fleeting goods of this worldly life, while Allah desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allah is Mighty and Wise' (Quran 8:67)'.

[Machine] Zaid bin Saanah went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day from the chambers, and Ali bin Abi Talib was with him. So a man came to him on his riding animal, like a Bedouin, and said, "O Messenger of Allah, the people of Busr have embraced Islam and entered into Islam, and I had informed them that if they embraced Islam, sustenance would come to them in abundance. But they have been afflicted with a year of drought, hardship, and scarcity of rain. So I fear, O Messenger of Allah, that they may leave Islam when they had entered into it due to greed. So if you see fit to send something to them that would assist them, then do so." So he looked at a man who was beside him and who appeared to be Ali. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, there is nothing left of mine." Zaid bin Saanah approached him and said, "O Muhammad, can you sell me a certain known amount of dates from the wall of the people of so-and-so to a specified date?" So he said, "No, O Jew, but I will sell you a certain known amount of dates to a specified date, and do not refer to it as the wall of the people of so-and-so." I said, "Yes." So he pledged allegiance to me and I released my anxiety. I gave him eighty Mithqal of gold in specified dates to a specified date, and the man took them and said, "Take this to them and assist them with it." Zaid bin Saanah said, "When it was a day or two before the appointed date, I went to him and took hold of the collar of his garment and his cloak, and I looked at him sternly and said, 'Will you not fulfill my right, O Muhammad?' By Allah, I did not recognize you when I looked at your face. His eyes were spinning in his head like planets, and then he hit me with his eye and said, 'O enemy of Allah, you speak to the Messenger of Allah with what I have not heard, and you do with him what I do not see. By the One who sent him with the truth, were it not for what I fear, I would strike your head with my sword.' And the Messenger of Allah looked at Umar in calmness and patience and then said, 'O Umar, he and I were more in need of something other than what you ordered me for good performance of duty and what you ordered him for good following. Take him away, O Umar, and give him his right and increase him twenty Sa' of dates in place of your frightening him.'" Zaid said, "So Umar took me away and gave me my right and increased me twenty Sa' of dates. So I said, 'What is this increase, O Umar?' He said, 'The Messenger of Allah has ordered me to increase you with what I frightened you with.' I said, 'And do you recognize me, O Umar?' He said, 'No, who are you?' I said, 'I am Zaid bin Saanah.'" Zaid said, "Al-Habr (Abu Bakr) said, 'By Allah, you have done with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ what I would not have done, and you have said to him what I would not have said.' I said, 'O Abu Bakr, whatever sign of prophethood was there, I recognized it in the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when I looked at him, except for two signs that I did not tell him about. His forbearance overcame his ignorance, and no ignorance overcame his forbearance. For I had informed him about them, so I bear witness to you, O Umar, that I have accepted Allah as my Lord, and Islam as my religion, and Muhammad as the Messenger, and I bear witness to you that half of my wealth, and indeed it is the majority of it, shall be given in charity for the Ummah of Muhammad." Umar said, "Or some among them, as you cannot handle giving it all." I said, "Or some among them." So Umar and Zaid went back to the Messenger of Allah and Zaid said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, and I believe in him and confirm him and pledge allegiance to him. And I have witnessed many scenes along with him." Then Zaid was martyred in the Battle of Tabuk, facing the enemy, may Allah have mercy on Zaid.

زَيْدُ بْنُ سَعْنَةَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا مِنَ الْحُجُرَاتِ وَمَعَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ كَالْبَدَوِيِّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ بُصْرَى قَرْيَةَ بَنِي فُلَانٍ قَدْ أَسْلَمُوا وَدَخَلُوا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَكُنْتُ حَدَّثَتْهُمْ إِنْ أَسْلَمُوا أَتَاهُمُ الرِّزْقُ رَغَدًا وَقَدْ أَصَابَتْهُمْ سَنَةٌ وَشِدَّةٌ وقُحُوطٌ مِنَ الْغَيْثِ فَأَنَا أَخْشَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ طَمَعًا كَمَا دَخَلُوا فِيهِ طَمَعًا فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِشَيْءٍ تُعِينُهُمْ بِهِ فَعَلْتَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ إِلَى جَانِبِهِ أُرَاهُ عَلِيًّا ؓ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ سَعْنَةَ فَدَنَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَبِيعَنِي تَمْرًا مَعْلُومًا مِنْ حَائِطِ بَنِي فُلَانٍ إِلَى أَجْلِ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ فَقَالَ «لَا يَا يَهُودِيُّ وَلَكِنِّي أَبِيعُكَ تَمْرًا مَعْلُومًا إِلَى أَجْلِ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَلَا تُسَمِّي حَائِطَ بَنِي فُلَانٍ» قُلْتُ بَلَى فَبَايَعَنِي فَأَطْلَقْتُ هِمْيَانِي فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ ثَمَانِينَ مِثْقَالًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِي تَمْرٍ مَعْلُومٍ إِلَى أَجْلِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَأَعْطَاهَا الرَّجُلَ فَقَالَ «اغْدُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَعِنْهُمْ بِهَا» فَقَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ سَعْنَةَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ قَبْلَ مَحَلِّ الْأَجَلِ بِيَوْمَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثٍ أَتَيْتُهُ فَأَخَذْتُ بِمَجَامِعِ قَمِيصِهِ وَرِدَائِهِ وَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِوَجْهٍ غَلِيظٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَلَا تَقْضِيَنِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ حَقِّي؟ فَوَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُكُمْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ لَمَطْلٌ وَلَقَدْ كَانَ لِي بِمُخَالَطَتِكُمْ عَلِمٌ وَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى عُمَرَ وَإِذَا عَيْنَاهُ تَدُورَانِ فِي وَجْهِهِ كالْفَلَكِ الْمُسْتَدِيرِ ثُمَّ رَمَانِي بِبَصَرِهِ فَقَالَ يَا عَدُوَّ اللهِ أَتَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا أَسْمَعُ وَتَصْنَعُ بِهِ مَا أَرَى فَوَالَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ لَوْلَا مَا أُحَاذِرُ فَوْتَهُ لَضَرَبْتُ بِسَيْفِي رَأْسَكَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى عُمَرَ فِي سُكُونٍ وتُؤَدَةٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا عُمَرُ أَنَا وَهُوَ كُنَّا أَحْوَجَ إِلَى غَيْرِ هَذَا أَنْ تَأْمُرَنِي بِحُسْنِ الْأَدَاءِ وتَأْمُرَهُ بِحُسْنِ التِّبَاعَةِ اذْهَبْ بِهِ يَا عُمَرُ وأَعْطِهِ حَقَّهُ وَزِدْهُ عِشْرِينَ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ مَكَانَ مَا رَوَّعْتَهُ» قَالَ زَيْدٌ فَذَهَبَ بِي عُمَرُ ؓ فَأَعْطَانِي حَقِّي وَزَادَنِي عِشْرِينَ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةُ يَا عُمَرُ؟ فَقَالَ أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ أَزِيدَكَ مَكَانَ مَا رَوَّعْتُكَ قُلْتُ وتَعْرِفُنِي يَا عُمَرُ؟ قَالَ لَا مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قُلْتُ أَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ سَعْنَةَ قَالَ الْحَبْرُ قُلْتُ الْحَبْرُ قَالَ فَمَا دَعَاكَ أَنْ فَعَلْتَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا فَعَلْتَ وَقُلْتَ لَهُ مَا قُلْتَ؟ قُلْتُ يَا عُمَرُ لَمْ تَكُنْ مِنْ عَلَامَاتِ النُّبُوَّةِ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا وَقَدْ عَرَفْتُهُ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ نَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ إِلَّا اثْنَتَيْنِ لَمْ أَخْبُرْهُمَا مِنْهُ يَسْبِقُ حِلْمُهُ جَهْلَهُ وَلَا يَزِيدُهُ الْجَهْلُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا حِلْمًا فَقَدْ أُخْبِرْتُهُمَا فَأُشْهِدُكَ يَا عُمَرُ أَنِّي قَدْ رَضِيتُ بِاللهِ رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا وَأُشْهِدُكَ أَنَّ شَطْرَ مَالِي وَإِنِّي أَكْثَرُهَا مَالًا صَدَقَةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ أَوْ عَلَى بَعْضِهِمْ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَسَعُهُمْ قُلْتُ أَوْ عَلَى بَعْضِهِمْ فَرَجَعَ عُمَرُ وَزَيْدٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ زَيْدٌ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ﷺ وَآمَنَ بِهِ وَصَدَّقَهُ وَبَايَعَهُ وَشَهِدَ مَعَهُ مَشَاهِدَ كَثِيرَةً ثُمَّ تُوُفِّي زَيْدٌ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ مُقْبِلًا غَيْرَ مُدْبِرٍ رَحِمَ اللهُ زَيْدًا

[Machine] I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the mosque of Al-Madinah and he began saying, "Where is so and so, son of so and so?" He continued to look for them and send messages until they gathered around him. He said, "I am going to narrate a Hadith to you, so memorize it, comprehend it, and narrate it to others after me. Verily, Allah has chosen from His creation a special creation." Then he recited the verse, "Allah chooses from the angels messengers and from the people" (Quran 22:75). "A creation that will be admitted into Paradise. And indeed, I am the chosen one among you, the most beloved to me and the closest to me, just as Allah chose and established brotherhood between the angels. Stand up, O Abu Bakr." So Abu Bakr stood up and came close to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and sat down in front of him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You have a hand with me, and by it, Allah will reward you. If I were to take a close friend, I would have taken you as my close friend, but you are from me as my shirt is from my body." And he shook his shirt with his hand and then said, "Approach, O Umar." So Umar came closer, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You used to be stern with us, O Abu Hafs, so I supplicated to Allah to strengthen this religion by you or by Abu Jahl, so Allah did it with you, and you both are the most beloved to me. You will be with me at the Pond in Paradise, third among three from this Ummah." Then he moved to the side and hugged Abu Bakr, then he called Uthman and repeated the same for him. And he continuously called him until he drew closer until his knees touched the knees of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then he looked at him and after that he looked at the sky and said, "Glory be to Allah the Almighty" three times. Then he looked at Uthman and found that the buttons of his garment were open, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fastened them with his own hands and said, "Join your garments to your neck, for Allah will grant you your needs. Indeed, you have a position with the people of the heavens, that when the people drink from the Cistern, your basin will overflow with blood, and I will say, 'Who did this to you?' So you will reply, 'So and so and so and so.' This is the statement

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was not supported in a place where he was supported in the Battle of Uhud and this was denied to him. Ibn Abbas said, "Between me and those who deny the Book of Allah, Allah says, 'And Allah has already fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing them with His permission.'" Ibn Abbas said, "The word 'until' in the verse means 'until he forgave you'," and this refers to the archers. This is because the Prophet ﷺ had stationed them at their position and he said, 'Protect our backs. If you see us being killed, do not come to our aid, and if you see us being victorious and gaining spoils, do not share with us.' So when Allah granted victory to the Prophet ﷺ and allowed him to attack the disbelievers, the archers left their positions and entered the battlefield to collect spoils, and the rows of the Prophet's companions became scattered. They were in this state when the horses from that location attacked the Prophet's ﷺ companions. They began striking one another, and many Muslims were killed. From the beginning of the day until the time when the standard-bearer of the disbelievers was killed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions faced seven or nine of the enemy's division. The Muslims launched an attack against the horses, but they were not successful. The people said that the cave was beneath them, and the Shaytan shouted, 'Muhammad has been killed, so do not doubt it.' He said, 'And we do not doubt that he has indeed been killed,' until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ emerged between the two mountains and we recognized him by the way he walked. He said, 'So we rejoiced as if we had not been afflicted with what we had been afflicted with.' He said, 'Then he came to us while saying, 'The anger of Allah has intensified over a people who shed the blood of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' And he said again, 'O Allah, they cannot defeat us until they come to us.' So he stayed for an hour, and then Abu Sufyan shouted from beneath the mountain, 'Declare your superiority, O Hubal! Where is the son of Abu Kabsha? Where is the son of Abu Quhafa? Where is the son of Al-Khattab?' Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, shall I answer him?' He said, 'Yes.' So when Abu Sufyan said, Declare your superiority, O Hubal!' Umar said, 'Allah is the Most High and the Most Honorable.' Abu Sufyan said, 'O son of Al-Khattab, you have obtained some good fortune, but today you have come face to face with its like.' Umar said, 'This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, this is Abu Bakr, and this is Umar.' Abu Sufyan said, 'There are days that alternate with one another, and this is a battle where lives are lost.' Umar said, 'Killing us does not compare to being killed in Paradise.' Abu Sufyan said, 'You believe that?' Umar said, 'Indeed, if that is what you think, then we have lost and been defeated.' Then Abu Sufyan said, 'You will find in our killing you similar to our being killed.' And this was not according to our opinion. Then he was met by Hamiyah, the chief of the idolaters, and he said, 'Indeed, what you have said is something we do not deny.'"

مَا نُصِرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مَوْطِنٍ نَصْرَهُ فِي أُحُدٍ فَأُنْكِرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ مَنْ يُنْكِرُ كِتَابُ اللهِ إِنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ {وَلَقَدْ صَدَقَكُمُ اللهُ وَعْدَهُ إِذْ تَحُسُّونَهُمْ بِإِذْنِهِ} فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَالْحَسُّ الْقَتْلُ {حَتَّى إِذَا فَشِلْتُمْ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَلَقَدْ عَفَا عَنْكُمْ وَاللهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} وَإِنَّمَا عَنَى بِهَذَا الرُّمَاةَ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَقَامَهُمْ فِي مَرْصَدٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «احْمُوا ظُهُورَنَا فَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمُونَا نُقْتَلُ فَلَا تَنْصُرُونَا وَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمُونَا قَدْ غَنِمْنَا فَلَا تَشْرَكُونَا» فَلَمَّا غَنَّمَ اللهُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَبَاحَهُ عَسْكَرَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ انْكَفَّتِ الرُّمَاةُ جَمِيعًا فَدَخَلُوا الْعَسْكَرَ يَنْتَهِبُونَ وَقَدِ الْتَفَّتْ صُفُوفُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَهُمْ هَكَذَا وَشَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَالْيُسْرَى فَلَمَّا أَخْلَتِ الرُّمَاةُ تِلْكَ الْحُلَّةَ الَّتِي كَانُوا فِيهَا دَخَلَتِ الْخَيْلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَضَرَبَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا وَقُتِلَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ نَاسٌ كَثِيرٌ وَقَدْ كَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابِهِ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ حَتَّى مِنْ أَصْحَابِ لِوَاءِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ سَبْعَةً أَوْ تِسْعَةً وَجَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ جَوْلَةً نَحْوَ الْخَيْلِ وَلَمْ يَبْلُغُوا حَيْثُ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ الْغَارَ إِنَّمَا كَانُوا تَحْتَ الْمِهْرَاسِ وَصَاحَ الشَّيْطَانُ قُتِلَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَلَمْ نَشُكَّ فِيهِ أَنَّهُ حَقٌّ قَالَ وَإِنَّا كَذَلِكَ لَا نَشُكُّ أَنَّهُ حَقٌّ قَدْ قُتِلَ حَتَّى طَلَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الشِّعْبَيْنِ فَعَرَفْتُهُ بِتَكَفُّئِهِ إِذَا مَشَى قَالَ فَفَرِحْنَا حَتَّى كَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُصِبْنَا مَا أَصَابَنَا قَالَ فَرَقَى نَحْوَنَا وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «اشْتَدَّ غَضَبُ اللهِ عَلَى قَوْمٍ دَمَوْا وَجْهَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ» قَالَ وَيَقُولُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى «اللهُمَّ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَعْلُونَا حَتَّى يَنْتَهُوا إِلَيْنَا» فَمَكَثَ سَاعَةً وَإِذَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَصِيحُ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ الْجَبَلِ اعْلُ هُبَلُ يَعْنِي آلِهَتَهُ أَيْنَ ابْنُ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَفَلَا أُجِيبُهُ؟ قَالَ «بَلَى» قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَالَ اعْلُ هُبَلُ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ اللهُ أَعْلَى وَأَجَلُّ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ إِنَّكَ قَدْ أَنْعَمْتَ فَعَادَ لِمِثْلِهَا فَقَالَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَيْنَ ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَهَذَا أَنَا عُمَرُ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَوْمٌ بِيَوْمِ بَدْرٍ إِنَّ الْأَيَّامَ دُوَلٌ وَإِنَّ الْحَرْبَ سِجَالٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لَا سَوَاءَ قَتْلَانَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَقَتْلَاكُمْ فِي النَّارِ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ لَتَزْعُمُونَ ذَلِكَ لَقَدْ خِبْنَا إِذًا وَخَسِرْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ سَتَجِدُونَ فِي قَتْلَاكُمْ مُثْلًا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ عَنْ رَأْيِ كُبَرَائِنَا ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَتْهُ حَمِيَّةُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ كَانَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ نَكْرَهْهُ

[Machine] Safwan wished that life would become worse after the defeat of Badr. Umayr said, "By Allah, there is nothing good in life anymore. If it weren't for the debts and my family and dependents, I would not find any reason to stay alive. I would have gone to Muhammad and killed him. If it weren't for my fear of him, I would have killed him. Safwan was pleased with Umayr's words, so he said to him, "Go ahead and stay with me for a few nights." Umayr arrived at the city and stopped at the door of the mosque. He took out his sword, which was Sharpened and poisoned, and Umar ibn al-Khattab saw him as he was talking to a group of Ansar who were discussing the Battle of Badr and thanking Allah for his blessings. When Umar saw Umayr with his sword, he became alarmed and said to him, "You have this dog with you, the enemy of Allah, who has stirred up discord among us and betrayed our people." Umar then entered and informed the Prophet of what had happened. The Prophet said, "Bring him to me." Umar and Umayr entered along with their companions, and the Prophet ordered his companions to be cautious and aware of Umayr when he entered. Umar began to insult Umayr, and the Prophet asked Umar to leave him alone. As Umar approached the Prophet, he greeted him in the manner of the people of ignorance, but the Prophet corrected his greeting and said that Allah has honored us with a better greeting, which is As-salamu alaikum, the greeting of the people of Paradise.

[Machine] Umair ibn Wahb al-Jumahi sat with Safwan ibn Umayyah after the people of Badr from the Quraysh were afflicted with calamities in the Hijr Isma'il (a place near the Kaaba). He was one of those who harmed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions and insulted them while they were in Makkah. Umair's son, Wahb ibn Umair, was taken captive by the companions of Badr. Umair mentioned the hardships of the people of Quraysh and Safwan said, "By Allah, there is still life after them." Umair said, "You speak the truth. By Allah, if it weren't for the debts I owe and my children who are vulnerable after me, I would ride to Muhammad to kill him. For in them is my son held captive. So seize this opportunity, Safwan." Safwan said to him, "I will settle your debt and your children will be with my children. They will want for nothing that I am unable to provide." Umair said, "Keep my matter and yours a secret." Safwan agreed. Umair ordered his sword to be sharpened and poisoned, then he set off for Madinah. While Umar ibn al-Khattab was in Madinah, sitting with a group of Muslims, talking about the day of Badr and how Allah had honored them and how they had prevailed over their enemies, he saw Umair ibn Wahb standing at the door of the mosque, his sword wrapped with a cloth. Umar said, "This is that dog, the enemy of Allah, Umair ibn Wahb. He has come for nothing but evil." Umar then went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is the enemy of Allah, Umair ibn Wahb. He has come with his sword wrapped." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Let him in." Umair approached, his sword wrapped, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Send him in, O Umar. Call him

[Machine] May Allah curse life after the martyrs of Badr. By Allah, there is no better life after them. If it weren't for the debt upon me, I wouldn't care about providing for my family. I would leave and go to Muhammad and kill him. If my eyes had their fill of him, I have a reason with him, and I will use it against him. I will say, "I have come for my captive son." Safwan rejoiced at his words and said, "By your religion and family, you are an example of my own family in terms of financial support. I cannot give them anything." Safwan carried him and prepared him, and ordered Umair's sword to be sharpened and poisoned. Umair said to Safwan, "Keep me hidden for a few days." Umair approached until he reached Medina and camped at the gate of the Masjid. He tied his camel and took his sword, then headed towards the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Umar ibn Al-Khattab saw him and he was sitting with a group of Ansar talking about the Battle of Badr and mentioning Allah's blessings in it. When Umar saw him with a sword, he became alarmed and said, "This is the dog, the enemy of Allah, who caused discord among us on the day of Badr, and he harmed our people." Then Umar got up and went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "This is Umair ibn Wahb. He entered the Masjid carrying his sword, and he is the treacherous criminal. O Messenger of Allah, do not trust him." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Let him enter." Umar left and ordered his companions to enter with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and to

[Machine] I said, "O mother of the believers, or O mother, won't you tell me how the incident of the slander was?"

She said, "The Messenger of Allah married me when I was a young girl and I used to play with dolls in the house of Medina. I had no desire for men until I grew up and it was mentioned to me that I would be married to the Messenger of Allah. So, the Messenger of Allah married me when I was nine years old, and then I joined him in his migration to Medina while I was a young girl. There, I became sick and the people accommodated me while the Messenger of Allah would go out for his journey. When they returned, I was still where they had left me and I still remained covered with my veil on my camel's back. They came to a halt and I went out to fulfill my needs and when I returned, they had already departed. I could only see dust from a distance. Suddenly, they realized I was still there in the howdah. Due to my light weight, they lifted the howdah with me in it on top of the camel's back and then they proceeded. When they reached their destination, one of the men took the camel's reigns. I asked, "Who is this man?" They replied, "Safwan bin Al-Mu'attal Al-Sulami." I said, "O mother of the believers, is it really you?" I said, "Yes." He said, "We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return." I said, "Turn your face away from me and place your foot on the camel's rein." He said, "I will do it. It's really a favor and honor for me." She continued, "Then I witnessed the people who arrived while they dismounted. My Prophet stopped and left me by the howdah. People were able to see me while I moved the veil. When I sat in the howdah, I hit my chest with my hand, forgetting that I had left my necklace behind. I hurried back to look for it but when I returned, they had already started moving and I could only see dust from a distance. They had placed the howdah on the camel's back without knowing I was still in there due to my light weight. Suddenly, a man took the camel's reins. I asked, "Who is this man?" It was Safwan bin Al-Mu'attal Al-Sulami. I said, "O mother of the believers, is it really you?" I said, "Yes." He said, "We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return." I said, "Turn your face away from me and place your foot on the camel's rein." He said, "I will do it. It's really a favor and honor for me." She continued, "Then I realized that the people had left me and I could only see dust from a distance. My father was taking care of me. He took all the clothes in the house and threw them on me. Then he consulted the Messenger of Allah's companions and asked them, "What do you think?" Some of them said, "She's a woman capable of such things and she has the ability to do so." Some of them said, "You're the Messenger of Allah and revelation comes to you. Our affairs are subject to your command." Some others said, "Allah will surely expose her innocence by confirming it Himself. Don't be hasty." She continued, "My father gave

[Machine] Zaid bin Sa'na went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day from the chambers, and with him was Ali bin Abi Talib. Then a man came to him riding a camel like a Bedouin, and he said: "O Messenger of Allah, the people of the village of Banu Fulan have embraced Islam and entered into Islam, and I have told them that if they embrace Islam, provision will come to them in abundance. However, they have been afflicted with a year of drought, hardship, and scarcity of rain. So, I fear, O Messenger of Allah, that they will leave Islam out of greed just as they entered it out of greed. If you see fit to send something to them that will help them, then do so." Then the Messenger of Allah glanced at a man beside him, whom I think was Ali, and said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, there is nothing left of it." So, Zaid bin Sa'na approached him and said: "O Muhammad, can you sell me some dates for a known time in the wall of Banu Fulan for such and such a period?" He responded: "No, O Jew, but I will sell you some dates for a known time for such and such a period, and do not mention the wall of Banu Fulan." So, I said, "Yes," then he took my hand and I abandoned what I was doing. I gave him eighty mithqals of gold in known dates for such and such a period, and the man accepted them and said: "Do justice to them and announce it to them." Zaid bin Sa'na said: "So, when two or three days remained before the appointed time, the Messenger of Allah went out and Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman came out with him in a group of his companions. So, when he finished the funeral prayer, and came close to a wall to sit down, I went to him and took hold of the edges of his shirt and his cloak, and I looked at him with a stern face. I said to him, "Will you not fulfill my right, O Muhammad? By Allah, I know your clan, the Banu Abd al-Muttalib, very well. Rather, I have known you through my association with you. I looked at Umar, and his eyes were rolling in his head like a revolving wheel. Then he cast a quick glance at me with his eye and said: "O enemy of Allah! Do you say to the Messenger of Allah what I hear and do what I see? By the One Who sent him with the truth, had I not feared that I would miss out on something, I would have struck you on the head with this sword of mine." The Messenger of Allah remained silent, looking at Umar calmly and with a sweet smile on his face. Then he said: "O Umar, he and I were in more need of something other than this. You should have commanded me to do well, and commanded him to follow well. O Umar, go to him and give him his right, and add twenty sa's of dates to the place where they were kept." Zaid said: "So Umar went with me and gave me my right and added twenty sa's of dates to the place where they were kept. I said: "What is this increase, O Umar?" He said: "The Messenger of Allah has ordered me to increase it to the place where it was kept." I asked him, "Do you know me, O Umar?" He said, "No." I said, "What led you to treat the Messenger of Allah as you did?" He asked, "O Umar, whenever something occurred to him from among the signs of Prophethood, I recognized it in his face when I looked at it, except for two signs that I did not tell him about which his forbearance outweighed his ignorance, nor would an increase in his ignorance cause his forbearance to decrease. I have informed him of both of them, and I bear witness to you, O Umar, that I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, Islam as my religion, and Muhammad as my Prophet. And I bear witness to you that half of my wealth, even though most of it comes in the form of charity given to the Ummah of Muhammad." Umar said, "Or to some of them, for it is not suitable for all of them." I said, "Or to some of them." So Umar and Zaid returned to the Messenger of Allah, and Zaid said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. I believed in him, confirmed him, followed him, and witnessed many things with him." Then he died

[Machine] His father said to him, "O son, seek from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a shroud from his clothes to wrap me in, and ask him to pray on me." Abdullah said, "O Messenger of Allah, you have recognized the honor of Abdullah and he has commanded me to ask you for a shroud to wrap him in and to pray on him." So the Prophet ﷺ gave him a shroud from his clothes and intended to pray on him. Omar said, "O Messenger of Allah, you have recognized Abdullah and his hypocrisy, do you pray on him even though Allah has forbidden you from praying on him?" He said, "Where?" Omar said, "If you ask forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will not forgive them." So the Prophet ﷺ said, "Then I will increase it." Then Allah revealed, "And do not pray [the funeral prayer, O Muhammad], over any of them who has died - ever. Or stand at his grave." And Allah revealed, "Whether you ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them, even if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times - never will Allah forgive them." A man entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he stayed for a long time, but the Prophet ﷺ did not follow him. Then Umar entered and saw the man and recognized the dislike in the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ towards him in his position, so he said, "Perhaps you have upset the Prophet ﷺ ." The man understood and stood up. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I have stood three times for you to follow me, but you did not." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you had a veil, for your wives are not like other women, and it is purity for their hearts." So Allah revealed, "O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when you are permitted for a meal." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for Umar and informed him of that. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ consulted Abu Bakr and Umar about the prisoners, and Abu Bakr said, "O Messenger of Allah, your people feel ashamed, so take ransom from them and seek their help." And Umar ibn Al-Khattab said, "Kill them." So the Prophet ﷺ took the opinion of Abu Bakr, and Allah revealed, "It is not for a prophet to have captives of war until he inflicts a massacre upon the earth. You desire the commodities of this world, but Allah desires the Hereafter." Then Allah revealed, "And We have certainly created man from a sperm-drop of sperm." Until the end of the verses. Umar said, "Blessed is Allah, the best of creators." So Allah revealed, "So blessed is Allah, the best of creators."

لَهُ أَبُوهُ أَيْ بَنِيُّ اطْلُبْ لِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثَوْبًا مِنْ ثِيَابِهِ تُكَفِّنِّي فِيهِ وَمُرْهُ يُصَلِّي عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ عَرَفْتَ شَرَفَ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَإِنَّهُ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَطْلُبَ إِلَيْكَ ثَوْبًا تُكَفِّنُهُ فِيهِ وَأَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَعْطَاهُ ثَوْبًا مِنْ ثِيَابِهِ وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ عَرَفْتَ عَبْدَ اللهِ ونِفَاقَهُ أَتُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ نَهَاكَ اللهُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ؟ قَالَ «وَأَيْنَ؟» قَالَ {إِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً فَلَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لَهُمْ} فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَإِنِّي سَأَزِيدُهُ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ} وَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَسْتَغْفَرَتَ لَهُمْ أُمْ لَمْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ لَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لَهُمْ} قَالَ وَدَخَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَطَالَ الْجُلُوسَ فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثَلَاثًا لِكَيْ يَتْبَعَهُ فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ فَدَخَلَ عُمَرُ ؓ فَرَأَى الرَّجُلَ فَعَرَفَ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَقْعَدِهِ فَقَالَ لَعَلَّكَ آذَيْتَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَفَطِنَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَامَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَقَدْ قُمْتُ ثَلَاثًا لِتَتَّبِعَنِي فَلَمْ تَفْعَلْ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوِ اتَّخَذْتَ حاجِبًا فَإِنَّ نِسَاءَكَ لَسْنَ كَسَائِرِ النِّسَاءِ وَهُوَ طُهْرٌ لقُلُوبِهِنَّ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤَذَنَ لَكُمْ} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ وَاسْتَشَارَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ فِي الْأُسَارَى فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اسْتَحيِي قَوْمَكَ وَخُذْ مِنْهُمُ الْفِدَاءَ فَاسْتَعِنْ بِهِ وَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ اقْتُلْهُمْ فَقَالَ لَوِ اجْتَمَعْتُمَا مَا عَصَيْناكُمَا فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِقَوْلِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ أَسْرَى حَتَّى يُثْخِنَ فِي الْأَرْضِ تُرِيدُونَ عَرَضَ الدُّنْيَا وَاللهُ يُرِيدُ الْآخِرَةَ} قَالَ ثُمَّ نَزَلَتْ {وَلَقَدْ خُلِقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ سُلَالَةٍ مِنْ طِينٍ} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَاتِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ تَبَارَكَ اللهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ فَأُنْزِلَتْ {فَتَبَارَكَ اللهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ}

[Machine] The messenger of Allah ﷺ went out in intense heat and ordered a military expedition to Tabuk. At that time, I was a believer in Allah and his messenger, but my soul longed for shade and coolness. I was strong and young, and my soul told me that I should make excuses and not go with the messenger of Allah ﷺ . So that's what I did. The Prophet ﷺ set off and I went to the marketplace, intending to prepare myself. It was as if he was holding my hand, and he walked until he was about two miles away from the city. He stopped, and there he found a man on a mount who caught up to him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Be Abu Khaythamah." So he turned out to be Abu Khaythamah. The Prophet ﷺ said, "In the city there are seventy-seven hypocrites, including me, Hilal bin Umayyah, and Murarah. The Prophet ﷺ asked Abu Khaythamah, "What did Ka'b bin Malik do?" He replied, "I left him walking in the streets of the city." Mu'adh said, "By Allah, I did not know that he loved Allah and his messenger." A group of the Prophet's companions went down and said, "By Allah, they care only about their stomachs and their lower parts, and they are the weakest in hearts." The Prophet ﷺ called Ammar bin Yasir and told him to go to those people and ask them what was causing their dissatisfaction. So if you ask them, they would say that they were just having fun and playing around. The Prophet ﷺ said, "You have burned them, may Allah also burn you." He also recited the verse (translation): "If you ask them, they will surely say, 'We were only conversing and playing.' Say, 'Is it Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?'" And there came a man who was not one of them, but he heard their conversation and clung to the Prophet's companion. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I did not care about them, but I heard what they said." So the Prophet ﷺ set off and walked along with the man, apologizing to him. They continued until blood began to flow from the Prophet's feet, and then the Prophet ﷺ returned from his military expedition. Hilal bin Umayyah and Murarah bin Rabee'ah came to him and he made us sit in a corner. It was said to Ka'b bin Malik that he was not pleased with his two companions. So he turned to them and asked them why, to which they replied,

[Machine] We were on a journey with the Prophet ﷺ, and we traveled throughout the night until we reached the end of the night before dawn. We had an encounter, and there is no better encounter for a traveler than it. We were only awakened by the heat of the sun, as it was the first time Bilal had awakened, followed by others. Umar ibn al-Khattab was the last to wake up. When the Prophet ﷺ slept, no one would wake him up until he woke up himself, because we did not know what would happen to him in his sleep. When Umar woke up and saw what had happened to the people, he became very upset and raised his voice in takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar). He continued to say takbeer and raise his voice until he woke up the Prophet ﷺ with his voice. The people complained to him about what had happened to them, and he said, "Do not worry, continue the journey." So we continued the journey, and soon after that, we stopped and the Prophet ﷺ called for wudu. He performed wudu and then the call to prayer was made, and he prayed with the people. He prolonged his prayer, and when a man wanted to leave, he did not pray with the people. The Prophet ﷺ asked him why he did not pray with the people, and he said it was because he had janabah (sexual impurity) and no water. The Prophet ﷺ told him to go to the nearby irrigated land (sa'id), as it would be sufficient for him. Then the people complained to him about thirst, so we stopped again and he called a man named Abu Raja' and called Ali. He told them to go and search for water, so they set off and met a woman with two water containers on a camel. They approached her and asked for water, and she said she had made a promise about the water until that time. They told her to go, and she asked where to go, and they said to the Prophet ﷺ. She asked if it was the one they called As-Saabi', and they confirmed. So she went with them to the Prophet ﷺ and told him what had happened. He called for a vessel and placed the water containers in it, then he rinsed his mouth and returned the water to the container, and then he repeated it with the water containers. Then he tied the mouths of the containers and let the water flow, and called out to the people to drink and quench their thirst. He gave the one who had janabah his portion and told him to pour the remaining water on himself. By Allah, she was still standing, watching what he was doing with her water. It seemed to us that they were even more amazed than she was. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Gather for her whatever is between a jar and a sa'iqa and a handful." So they gathered food for her in a garment and placed it in front of her. The Prophet ﷺ told her, "You know, by Allah, we did not take anything from your water, but it was Allah who provided it for us." She went to her people, who were waiting for her, and they asked her why she had been delayed. She said, "By Allah, I have never seen people like them before. Either they are sorcerers, or he is truly the messenger of Allah ﷺ." The Muslims would change places with those around her who were polytheists and would not be struck by the drought that followed. One day, she asked her people if they were interested in Islam, and they obediently went and all embraced Islam.

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah said, "I will send a man whom Allah will not disgrace." So he sent 'Ali while he was grinding flour at the mill, and none of you are to grind, so they brought him Armand. He said, "O Prophet of Allah, I can hardly see," so he spat in his eyes and shook the flag three times, then handed it to him. It opened for him, and he brought Saffiyyah the daughter of Huyayy. Then he said to his cousins, "Which of you will support me in this world and the Hereafter three times?" until he passed by the last one, 'Ali said, "O Prophet of Allah, I am your supporter in this world and the Hereafter." The Prophet said, "You are my supporter in this world and the Hereafter." He sent Abu Bakr with the Surah of Repentance and sent 'Ali on his way. Abu Bakr said to him, "O 'Ali, perhaps Allah and His Prophet will be angry with me." 'Ali said, "No, rather the Prophet of Allah said, 'No one should convey from me except a man from among me and I from him.'" The Prophet put his cloak over 'Ali, Fatimah, al-Hasan and al-Husayn, and said, "Verily, Allah wants to remove impurity from you, O people of the household, and to purify you with a thorough purification." And he was the first person to embrace Islam after Khadijah. He sold himself and wore the Prophet's cloak, then he stood in his place. He said, "The polytheists were throwing rocks at the Messenger of Allah, so Abu Bakr came and said to me, 'O Messenger of Allah, and Abu Bakr considers him to be the Prophet of Allah?' 'Ali said. 'The Prophet of Allah has gone towards the well of Maymunah, so catch up with him.' Abu Bakr went and went with him to the cave, and 'Ali began throwing stones just as the Messenger of Allah used to throw them, while he was wrapping his head in a garment which he would not remove until morning. Then he uncovered his head when morning came. They said, 'You are vile, your companion is being stoned and you are throwing stones and he does not throw stones, and you are wrapping your head and he is uncovering his head, we detest that.' Then he led the people in the Tabuk expedition. 'Ali said, 'Shall I go out with you?' The Prophet said, 'No.' 'Ali wept, and the Prophet of Allah said to him, 'Are you pleased to be to me as Harun was to Musa, except that you are not a Prophet? It is not right for me to go unless you are my caliph.'" He said to him, "You are the Wali of every believer after me." And the Messenger of Allah blocked the doors of the mosque except for the door of 'Ali so that he entered the mosque in a state of janabah, and it is the path he takes, and he said, "Whom I am a supporter of, then 'Ali is his supporter." Ibn 'Abbas said, "Allah has informed us in the Qur'an that He has been pleased with them, about the people of the tree. He knows what is in their hearts. Did He inform us that He was angry with them after that?" He said, "The Prophet of Allah said to 'Umar when he said, 'May I strike his neck,' meaning Al-Hatib. 'Ali said, 'Were you about to do it? What do you know? Perhaps Allah says, "Take whatever you want" aloud,' looking at the people of Badr."

[Machine] Certainly! Here is the passage translated into English:

"I was sitting with Ibn Abbas when nine men came to him and said, 'Either you come with us, or leave us alone, O you.' At that time, he was well and had not yet gone blind. He said, 'I will go with you.' They spoke, but I do not know what they said. He returned while shaking his garment and said, 'Uff and Tuff, they attack a man with ten virtues. They have attacked a man.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I will send a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, whom Allah will never disgrace.' Everyone looked around, and the Messenger said, 'Where is Ali?' He was at the mill grinding, and none of you were grinding for him. So he was summoned, even though he was suffering from sore eyes and could barely see. The Prophet ﷺ spat in his eyes, shook the flag thrice, and then handed it to him. He returned with Safiyyah bint Huyayy. The Prophet ﷺ sent Abu Bakr with Surah Al-Tawbah and then sent Ali after him to take it from him, saying, 'No one will take it but a man who is from me and I am from him.' The Prophet ﷺ gathered Hasan, Husayn, Ali, and Fatimah, covered them with a cloth, and said, 'These are my household and my close kin, so remove impurity from them and purify them thoroughly.' Ali was the first to accept Islam after Khadijah. He wore the garment of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and slept as the polytheists pelted him, thinking he was the Prophet ﷺ . Abu Bakr came and said, 'O Prophet of Allah,' and Ali replied, 'The Prophet of Allah ﷺ has gone towards the well of Maymun.' He followed him and entered the cave with him. Meanwhile, the polytheists continued pelting Ali until morning. During the Battle of Tabuk, Ali asked to join, but the Prophet ﷺ said, 'No.' Ali cried, so the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Are you not pleased to be to me like Aaron was to Moses, except there is no prophet after me?' and said, 'You are my successor among every believer after me.' He blocked all the mosque's doors except Ali's, allowing him to enter while in a state of impurity (junub), for he had no other path. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whoever I am his protector (wali), then Ali is his protector.' Ibn Abbas said, 'Allah informed us in the Quran that He is pleased with the people of the tree; did He inform us afterward that He was ever displeased with them?' The Prophet ﷺ told Umar when he said, 'Grant me permission to strike his neck, meaning Hatib,' he said, 'How do you know? Perhaps Allah has looked at the people of Badr and said, 'Do as you wish, for I have forgiven you.''"

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

While I was at home, the sun rose high and it got hot. Suddenly the messenger of ʿUmar bin Al- Khattab came to me and said, "The chief of the believers has sent for you." So, I went along with him till I entered the place where ʿUmar was sitting on a bedstead made of date-palm leaves and covered with no mattress, and he was leaning over a leather pillow. I greeted him and sat down. He said, "O Mali! Some persons of your people who have families came to me and I have ordered that a gift should be given to them, so take it and distribute it among them." I said, "O chief of the believers! I wish that you order someone else to do it." He said, "O man! Take it." While I was sitting there with him, his doorman Yarfa' came saying, "ʿUthman, ʿAbdur-Rahman bin ʿAuf, Az-Zubair and Saʿd bin Abi Waqqas are asking your permission (to see you); may I admit them?" ʿUmar said, "Yes", So they were admitted and they came in, greeted him, and sat down. After a while Yarfa' came again and said, "May I admit ʿAli and ʿAbbas?" ʿUmar said, "yes." So, they were admitted and they came in and greeted (him) and sat down. Then ʿAbbas said, "O chief of the believers! Judge between me and this (i.e. ʿAli)." They had a dispute regarding the property of Bani An-Nadir which Allah had given to His Apostle as Fai. The group (i.e. ʿUthman and his companions) said, "O chief of the believers! Judge between them and relieve both of them front each other." ʿUmar said, "Be patient! I beseech you by Allah by Whose Permission the Heaven and the Earth exist, do you know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Our (i.e. prophets') property will not be inherited, and whatever we leave, is Sadaqa (to be used for charity),' and Messenger of Allah ﷺ meant himself (by saying "we'')?" The group said, "He said so." ʿUmar then turned to ʿAli and ʿAbbas and said, "I beseech you by Allah, do you know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said so?" They replied, " He said so." ʿUmar then said, "So, I will talk to you about this matter. Allah bestowed on His Apostle with a special favor of something of this Fai (booty) which he gave to nobody else." ʿUmar then recited the Holy Verses: "What Allah bestowed as (Fai) Booty on his Apostle (Muhammad) from them --- for this you made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry: But Allah gives power to His Apostles over whomever He will 'And Allah is able to do all things." 9:6) ʿUmar added "So this property was especially given to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but, by Allah, neither did he take possession of it and leave your, nor did he favor himself with it to your exclusion, but he gave it to all of you and distributed it amongst you till this property remained out of it. Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to spend the yearly expenses of his family out of this property and used to keep the rest of its revenue to be spent on Allah 's Cause. Allah 's Apostle kept on doing this during all his lifetime. I ask you by Allah do you know this?" They replies in the affirmative. ʿUmar then said to ʿAli and ʿAbbas. "I ask you by Allah, do you know this?" ʿUmar added, "When Allah had taken His Prophet unto Him, 'Abu Bakr said, 'I am the successor of Messenger of Allah ﷺ so, Abu Bakr took over that property and managed it in the same way as Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do, and Allah knows that he was true, pious and rightlyguided, and he was a follower of what was right. Then Allah took Abu Bakr unto Him and I became Abu Bakr's successor, and I kept that property in my possession for the first two years of my Caliphate, managing it in the same way as Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do and as Abu Bakr used to do, and Allah knows that I have been true, pious, rightly guided, and a follower of what is right. Now you both (i.e. 'Ah and ʿAbbas) came to talk to me, bearing the same claim and presenting the same case; you, ʿAbbas, came to me asking for your share from your nephew's property, and this man, i.e. ʿAli, came to me asking for his wife's share from her father's property. I told you both that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Our (prophets') properties are not to be inherited, but what we leave is Sadaqa (to be used for charity).' When I thought it right that I should hand over this property to you, I said to you, 'I am ready to hand over this property to you if you wish, on the condition that you would take Allah's Pledge and Convention that you would manage it in the same way as Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to, and as Abu Bakr used to do, and as I have done since I was in charge of it.' So, both of you said (to me), 'Hand it over to us,' and on that condition I handed it over to you. So, I ask you by Allah, did I hand it over to them on this condition?" The group aid, "Yes." Then ʿUmar faced ʿAli and ʿAbbas saying, "I ask you by Allah, did I hand it over to you on this condition?" They said, "Yes. " He said, " Do you want now to give a different decision? By Allah, by Whose Leave both the Heaven and the Earth exist, I will never give any decision other than that (I have already given). And if you are unable to manage it, then return it to me, and I will do the job on your behalf." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3094)
