that he remembered Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he also remembered a mouthful of water which he had thrown on his face, after taking it from a well that was in their house. Mahmud said that he had heard ʿItban bin Malik, who was present with Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the battle of Badr saying, "I used to lead my people at Bani Salim in the prayer and there was a valley between me and those people. Whenever it rained it used to be difficult for me to cross it to go to their mosque. So I went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'I have weak eyesight and the valley between me and my people flows during the rainy season and it becomes difficult for me to cross it; I wish you would come to my house and pray at a place so that I could take that place as a praying place.' Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I will do so.' So Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr came to my house in the (next) morning after the sun had risen high. Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked my permission to let him in and I admitted him. He did not sit before saying, 'Where do you want us to offer the prayer in your house?' I pointed to the place where I wanted him to pray. So Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up for the prayer and started the prayer with Takbir and we aligned in rows behind him; and he offered two rakʿat, and finished them with Taslim, and we also performed Taslim with him. I detained him for a meal called "Khazir" which I had prepared for him.--("Khazir" is a special type of dish prepared from barley flour and meat soup)-- When the neighbors got the news that Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in my house, they poured it till there were a great number of men in the house. One of them said, 'What is wrong with Malik, for I do not see him?' One of them replied, 'He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Apostle.' On that Allah's Apostle said, 'Don't say this. Haven't you seen that he said, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah for Allah's sake only.' The man replied, 'Allah and His Apostle know better; but by Allah, we never saw him but helping and talking with the hypocrites.' Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, 'No doubt, whoever says. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and by that he wants the pleasures of Allah, then Allah will save him from Hell." Mahmud added, "I told the above narration to some people, one of whom was Abu Aiyub, the companion of Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the battle in which he (Abu Aiyub) died and Yazid bin Mu'awiya was their leader in Roman Territory. Abu Aiyub denounced the narration and said, 'I doubt that Messenger of Allah ﷺ ever said what you have said.' I felt that too much, and I vowed to Allah that if I remained alive in that holy battle, I would (go to Medina and) ask ʿItban bin Malik if he was still living in the mosque of his people. So when he returned, I assumed Ihram for Hajj or ʿUmra and then I proceeded on till I reached Medina. I went to Bani Salim and ʿItban bin Malik, who was by then an old blind man, was leading his people in the prayer. When he finished the prayer, I greeted him and introduced myself to him and then asked him about that narration. He told that narration again in the same manner as he had narrated it the first time."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out in the year of al-Hudaibbiyyah with over ten hundreds of Companions and when he came to Dhu al Hulaifah. He garlanded and marked the sacrificial animals, and entered the sacred state of Umrah. He then went on with the tradition. The Prophet moved on and when he came to the mountain, pass by which one descends (to Mecca) to them, his riding-beast knelt down, and the people said twice: Go on, go on, al-Qaswa has become jaded. The Prophet (May peace be upon him) said: She has not become jaded and that is not a characteristic of hers, but He Who restrained the elephant has restrained her. He then said: By Him in Whose hand my soul is, they will not ask any me good thing by which they honor which God has made sacred without my giving them it. He then urged her and she leaped up and he turned aside from them, and stopped at the farthest side of al-Hudaibiyyah at a pool with little water. Meanwhile Budail bin Warqa al-Khuza’I came, and ‘Urwah bin Mas’ud joined him. He began to speak to the Prophet ﷺ. Whenever he spoke to the Prophet ﷺ, he caught his beard. Al Mughriah bin Shu’bah was standing beside the Prophet ﷺ.He had a sword with him, wearing a helmet. He (Al Mughriah) struck his (‘Urwah’s) hand with the lower end of his sheath, and said: Keep away your hand from his beard. ‘Urwah then raised his hand and asked: Who is this? They replied: Al-Mughirah bin Shu’bah. He said: O treacherous one! Did I not use my offices in your treachery? In pre-Islamic days Al-Mughirah bin Shu’bah accompanied some people and murdered them, and took their property. He then came (to the Prophet) and embraced Islam. The Prophet ﷺ said: As for Islam we accepted it, but as to the property, as it has been taken by treachery, we have no need of it. He went on with the tradition the Prophet ﷺ said: Write down: This is what Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, has decided. He then narrated the tradition. Suhail then said: And that a man will not come to you from us, even if he follows your religion, without you sending him back to us. When he finished drawing up the document, the Prophet ﷺ said to his Companions: Get up and sacrifice and then shave. Thereafter some believing women who were immigrants came. (Allah sent down: O yea who believe, when believing women come to you as emigrants). Allah most high forbade them to send them back, but ordered them to restore the dower. He then returned to Medina. Abu Basir a man from the Quraish (who was a Muslim), came to him. And they sent (two men) to look for him; so he handed him over to the two men. They took him away, and when they reached Dhu Al Hulaifah and alighted to eat some dates which they had, Abu Basir said to one of the men : I swear by Allah so-and-so, that I think this sword of yours is a fine one; the other drew the sword and said : Yes I have tried it. Abu Basir said: Let me look at it. He let him have it and he struck him till he died, whereupon the other fled and came to Medina, and running entered the mosque. The Prophet ( may peace be upon him) said: This man has seen something frightful. He said: I swear by Allah that my Companion has been killed, and im as good as dead. Abu Basir then arrived and said: Allah has fulfilled your covenant. You returned me to them, but Allah saved me from them. The Prophet ﷺ said: Woe to his mother, stirrer up of war! Would that he had someone (i.e. some kinsfolk). When he heard that he knew that he would send him back to them, so he went out and came to the seashore. Abu Jandal escaped and joined Abu Basir till a band of them collected.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that he was asked about the suckling of an older person. He said, ''Urwa ibn az-Zubayr informed me that Abu Hudhayfa ibn Utba ibn Rabia, one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who was present at Badr, adopted Salim (who is called Salim, the mawla of Abu Hudhayfa) as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ adopted Zayd ibn Haritha. He thought of him as his son, and Abu Hudhayfa married him to his brother's sister, Fatima bint al-Walid ibn Utba ibn Rabia, who was at that time among the first emigrants. She was one of the best unmarried women of the Quraysh. When Allah the Exalted sent down in His Book what He sent down about Zayd ibn Haritha, 'Call them after their true fathers. That is more equitable in the sight of Allah. If you do not know who their fathers were then they are your brothers in the deen and your mawali,' (Sura 33 ayat 5) people in this position were traced back to their fathers. When the father was not known, they were traced to their mawla. "Sahla bint Suhayl who was the wife of Abu Hudhayfa, and one of the tribe of Amr ibn Luayy, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'Messenger of Allah! We think of Salim as a son and he comes in to see me while I am uncovered. We only have one room, so what do you think about the situation?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Give him five drinks of your milk and he will be mahram by it.' She then saw him as a foster son. A'isha umm al-muminin took that as a precedent for whatever men she wanted to be able to come to see her. She ordered her sister, Umm Kulthum bint Abi Bakr as-Siddiq and the daughters of her brother to give milk to whichever men she wanted to be able to come in to see her. The rest of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ refused to let anyone come in to them by such nursing. They said, 'No! By Allah! We think that what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered Sahla bint Suhayl to do was only an indulgence concerning the nursing of Salim alone. No! By Allah! No one will come in upon us by such nursing!' "This is what the wives of the Prophet ﷺ thought about the suckling of an older person."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Makkah for ten years, following the people in their homes in 'Ukaz and Majinah, and during the seasons in Mina. He would say, "Who will shelter and support me? Who will assist me until I deliver the message of my Lord, and he will be rewarded with Paradise?" So much so that a man would come from Yemen or Egypt, and his people would warn him, saying, "Beware of the young boy from Quraysh who will deceive you." But he would walk among them and they would point at him with their fingers. Until Allah sent someone from Yathrib (Medina) and we offered him shelter and believed in him. The man would return to his people, and they would embrace Islam because of him, to the point that there was not a house in Al-Ansar (the supporters) except there were some Muslims living in it. Then, they all came together and said, "Until when shall we leave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being expelled in the mountains of Makkah and living in fear?" Seventy men of us left until we reached him in the season. We made an appointment with the tribes of Al-'Aqabah, and met him there, a group of men and a group of women. We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Why don't we give you our pledge?" He replied, "Give me your pledge based on hearing and obeying, in ease and hardship, in wealth and poverty, and to enjoin good and forbid evil. And that you will say in Allah's cause, fear no blame from anyone, and to help me rather than hinder me when I come to you. If you fulfill this, then it will be better for you before Allah." We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Rain on us your guidance." We swear by Allah, we will never abandon this pledge nor take it away. So we gave him our pledge, and he grasped the hand of As'ad bin Zurarah, who was one of the youngest among us, and said, "O people of Yathrib! We have not aimed against and attacked the backs of camels unless we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . And indeed his leaving today means the tribal fragmentation of the entire Arabs and the killing of your best people. And the swords will bite you, whether you are a people who can endure that or a people who fear from yourselves a decline, clarify it, and it will be more excuse for you before Allah." We said, "Remove from us, O As'ad!" By Allah! We will never abandon this pledge nor seize it away. So we gave him our pledge, and he made a condition and gave us Paradise in return.

[Machine] On the authority of 'Amir, Abu 'Amir, or Abu Malik, that the Prophet ﷺ was sitting in a gathering with his companions when Gabriel came to him in a different form, appearing as a man from the Muslims. Gabriel greeted him and the Prophet ﷺ returned the greeting. Then Gabriel placed his hand on the Prophet's knee and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is Islam?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is to submit your face to Allah, to bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, to establish the prayer, give the obligatory charity (zakat)." Gabriel asked again, "So if I do this, have I become a Muslim?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." Then Gabriel asked, "What is faith?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is to believe in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Divine Books, the prophets, life after death, heaven, hell, and fate, both its good and bad." Gabriel asked again, "So if I do this, have I believed?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." Then Gabriel asked, "What is excellence (ihsan), O Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you do not see Him, then truly He sees you." Gabriel asked again, "So if I do this, have I excelled?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." And we heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ return to him, but we could not see the one speaking to him, nor could we hear his words. The questioner asked, "O Messenger of Allah, when is the Hour?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Glory be to Allah, it has five signs which only Allah knows: Allah possesses knowledge of the Hour, He sends down rain, He knows what is in the wombs, no soul knows what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul knows in which land it will die. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted." (Surah Luqman, 34) The questioner then said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you wish, I can inform you of two signs that will precede it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Inform me." The questioner said, "When you see a slave woman giving birth to her mistress, and when you see the barefooted, naked, impoverished shepherds competing in constructing tall buildings." The questioner asked, "And who are they, O Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "The Bedouins." Then he turned away, and when we did not see him on his way back, we said, "Glory be to Allah! This is Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion. The hand of Muhammad is in the hand of Gabriel, every time he came to him, I had not received any message except that I already knew it, except for this time."

[Machine] Narrated by 'Amir or Abu 'Amir, Abu Malik, that the Prophet ﷺ was sitting in a gathering with his companions when Jibril came to him in a form other than his usual shape and saluted him. The Prophet ﷺ returned the greeting and then Jibril placed his hand on the Prophet's knee and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is Islam?" He replied, "To testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish the prayer, to give the Zakat, to perform Hajj, and to fast in Ramadan." Jibril then asked him, "You have spoken the truth, so what is Iman (faith)?" He replied, "To believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in predestination and that every good and bad is from Allah." Jibril asked again, "You have spoken the truth, so what is Ihsan (perfection)?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "To worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion, then be aware that He sees you." Jibril continued to ask the Prophet ﷺ about the signs of the Day of Judgment until he asked, "When will the Hour be?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "The one being asked does not know more than the one asking. But I will inform you of its signs. When you see barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in the construction of tall buildings, that will be one of its signs. And when you see the hunched-backed, barefoot uncivilized Bedouins competing in building great structures, that will be one of its signs." Then he (Jibril) left. The Prophet ﷺ kept silent for a while and then said, "O Abu Huraira, did you mark or memorize everything?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, even I cannot memorize all this." Then Allah's Messenger ﷺ passed his hand over my chest and I felt its coolness in my chest, and I knew all that he had said.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote to him in a red damask, so he took the letter from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and tore it to pieces. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then sent a military expedition, and they did not leave anyone, nor any scent, nor any sound, nor any family, nor any wealth except that they took it. He escaped naked on a horse that had no saddle until he reached his daughter, who was married in Bani Hilal and had embraced Islam, as did her family. The meeting of the people was in the courtyard of her house, so he circled until he entered upon her from behind the house. When she saw him, she threw a garment on him and said, "What is wrong with you?" He said, "All evil has befallen your father. Nothing was left for him, neither scent, nor sound, nor family, nor wealth, except that it was taken from him." She said, "I invited you to Islam." He said, "Where is your husband?" She said, "With the camels." So he went to him and said, "What is wrong with you?" He said, "All evil has befallen me. Nothing was left for me, neither scent, nor sound, nor family, nor wealth, except that it was taken from me. And I want Muhammad to be my guardian before my family and wealth are divided." He said, "Take my riding camel with its saddle." He said, "I have no need for it." So he took the shepherd's staff and provisioned himself with water. And he had a garment that he covered his face with, and when he covered his face, his back was exposed, and when he covered his back, his face was exposed, and he disliked being recognized until he reached the city. So he tied his riding camel and came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who was at his door, and when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed Fajr, he said, "O Messenger of Allah, extend your hand so that I may pledge allegiance to you." He extended his hand, and when he was about to strike his hand, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew his hand to himself. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is the one I wrote to." So he struck his hand three times, drawing it towards himself, and he did the same after that. When it was the third time, he said, "Who are you?" He said, "I am the shepherd of Al-Sahimi." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then touched his arm and raised it and said, "O Muslims, this is the shepherd of Al-Sahimi, to whom I wrote, and he took my letter and tore it to pieces. I said to him, 'O Messenger of Allah, my family and my wealth?' He said, 'As for your wealth, it has been apportioned, and as for your family, whoever you can overpower from among them.'" So he went out, and his son recognized the riding camel while he was standing beside it, so he returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "This is my son." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Bilal, go out with him and ask his father, 'Is this your son?' If he says yes, then give him to him." So Bilal went to him and said, "Is this your son?" He said, "Yes." So he returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have never seen anyone as steadfast in loyalty to his companion as this man."

[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.'"

[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] "Islam, the son of Khalid, was a long-time Muslim, and his first brother who accepted Islam was Aslam. The beginning of his Islam was that he saw in a dream that he was standing on the edge of the Fire, as if his father was pushing him away from it. He also saw that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was holding onto his waist, preventing him from falling. So he woke up in a panic and said, 'I swear by Allah, this is a true vision.' He then met Abu Bakr ibn Abi Quhafa and mentioned it to him. Abu Bakr said, 'I wish good for you. This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Follow him, for you will surely follow him and enter Islam with him. Islam will protect you from entering it, and your father is already in it.' So Khalid met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in Ajyad, and he said to him, 'O Muhammad, why do you call people?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, 'I invite them to worship Allah alone, without associating partners with Him, and to testify that Muhammad is His slave and messenger. And I call them to abandon the worship of stones that neither harm nor benefit, and whose true nature is unknown to those who worship them.' Khalid said, 'Indeed, I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that you are the Messenger of Allah.' He then sent his father to seek out his remaining children who had not yet embraced Islam, and he brought them to his father, Abu Uhayha. When Abu Uhayha saw them, he woke up and started crying, and he struck Khalid with a whip in his hand until he broke it on his head. Then he said, 'You have followed Muhammad while you see the opposition of his people and the disgrace of their previous gods.' Khalid said, 'By Allah, I have spoken the truth.' Abu Uhayha became angry and insulted him, and then he said, 'Go, Luka', wherever you like, and I swear by Allah, I will prevent you from your sustenance.' Khalid said, 'If you prevent me, then Allah will provide me with what I need to live.' So Abu Uhayha expelled him and said to his sons, 'Do not speak to him, and if any of you do, I will do to him what I did to him.' Khalid then went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who honored him and allowed him to stay with him."

[Machine] Abu Jahl confronted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at As-Safa. He insulted him and said things that were detestable to his religion and demeaning towards him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not respond to him. Abdullah bin Judda'an At-Taymi's wife witnessed this incident from her house, which was located above As-Safa. Afterward, Abu Jahl went to the gathering of the Quraysh at the Kaaba and sat with them. Hamza bin Abdul-Muttalib, with his bow on his shoulder, returned from hunting and normally when he returned in this manner, he would not pass by the gathering of the Quraysh without expressing his strength. On this day, he was still a pagan. The lady who witnessed the incident approached him and informed him about what had transpired between Abu Jahl and Muhammad, and how Abu Jahl had insulted and abused him. Then, she told him that Muhammad had not responded to him. Thus, Hamza became angry for the sake of the honor of Allah's Messenger ﷺ . He hurried, looking for Abu Jahl, in order to avenge the harm that had befallen Allah's Messenger ﷺ . When he entered the Masjid, he saw Abu Jahl sitting among people and went towards him. When he reached Abu Jahl, he drew his bow with all his strength and struck Abu Jahl's head with the bow, causing a severe wound. Men from Quraysh's Banu Makhzum tribe stood to support Abu Jahl, but they did not find Hamza, as he rushed out of the Masjid. He did not stop to speak to anyone as he normally did. He went straight towards the Kaaba to perform Tawaf (circumambulation) while giving Abu Jahl the opportunity to take revenge, had he wanted to. When he entered the Masjid, he saw Abu Jahl sitting among people and went towards him. When he reached Abu Jahl, he drew his bow with all his strength and struck Abu Jahl's head with the bow, causing a severe wound.

He went straight towards the Kaaba to perform Tawaf (circumambulation) while giving Abu Jahl the opportunity to take revenge, had he wanted to. But Abu Jahl restrained himself, not retaliating for the harm he had received. He did not think that Hamza's action was the cause of his forgiveness, but rather his intention was to fulfill the command of Allah. After this incident, Hamza entered his house, and Satan came to him saying, "You are the chief of the Quraysh! You have followed this new religion and abandoned the religion of your ancestors. Death is better for you than what you have done." Hamza was affected by this whisper. He went to Hamza with a doubt in his heart, unsure of the way out of the situation he found himself in. He went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the next morning and said, "O my nephew! I find myself in a situation and I do not know how to find a way out. I have placed myself in a situation where I cannot retreat or advance. Tell me, is it right for me to continue in the path I have chosen, or should I choose another path?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ advised him, reminded him, admonished him, and gave him glad tidings. As a result, faith entered Hamza's heart, as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said. Hamza then said, "I bear witness that you are truthful in your testimony, the one who confirms truth and identifies falsehood. Show me, O my nephew, the path to follow, and by Allah, there is nothing I would love more than to have a reputation that would outshine the sun. And I am now embracing my original religion." So it was, that Hamza was one of those whom Allah honored and helped through the religion.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions continued on the year of the conquest until they reached Marr Al-Zuhra with ten thousand Muslims. Sulaym and Muzaynah were there, and in every tribe there was a number of people who had embraced Islam. The Muhajirun (emigrants) and the Ansar (helpers) were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and none of them stayed behind. The news about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became unknown to the Quraysh, and they did not receive any information about what he was doing. Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith and Abdullah ibn Abi Umayyah ibn al-Mughirah met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Thaniyyat al-Aqabah on the way from Makkah to Madinah, and they sought permission to enter. Umm Salamah spoke to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is your cousin, the son of your aunt, and your son-in-law." He replied, "I have no need for them. As for my cousin, he has violated my honour, and as for my aunt's son and my son-in-law, he was the one who said to me in Makkah what he said." When the news reached them, Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith had a son who said, "By Allah, the Messenger of Allah will either give permission for me, or I will take his son by the hand, and we will go away and die of thirst or hunger." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard about this, he sent for them, and they entered upon him. Abu Sufyan began reciting poetry about his Islam and his apology for what had happened in the past. He said, "By your life, on the day I carry a flag, the horses of al-Lat will defeat the horses of Muhammad, even if the dark night lasts long. This is the time for truth to guide and direct me. So tell Ta'if that I do not seek to fight them, and tell Ta'if that I am ready for them, guided by someone other than myself, who has guided me to Allah. I will flee quickly and strive to fight against Muhammad, even if I am not related to him. They are a group of people who do not follow their desires, even if they are intelligent and logical." He continued, "I desire for them to be pleased with me, and I will not leave them until I have been guided in every sitting. I was not in the army that gained victory, nor did my tongue bring any good, nor did my hands touch any tribe that came from distant lands, with arrows and swords. Indeed, the one you expelled and insulted will strive hard to seek revenge, not restrained by custom." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard Abu Sufyan recite poetry about himself, he struck him in the chest and said, "You are the one who expelled and insulted me." Ibn Ishaq mentioned, "The mother of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died while she was visiting her relatives from the Banu Najjar tribe."

[Machine] From Abu Rafi, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: I was a young boy under the guardianship of Al-Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib, and I had embraced Islam, and so had the mother of Al-Fadl and Al-Abbas. Al-Abbas had concealed his Islam out of fear from his people, and Abu Lahab had withdrawn from the battle of Badr and sent Al-'As bin Hisham in his place. Al-'As had a debt to Al-Abbas, so he said to him, "Settle my debt for me and I will fight in this battle on your behalf." So Al-Abbas agreed and settled his debt. When the news of the battle reached us, Allah disgraced Abu Lahab. I was a weak man who used to carve arrowheads in a room, and by Allah, I was sitting in that room carving arrowheads while Umm Al-Fadl was with me. Suddenly, I saw Abu Lahab dragging his feet near the door of the room, and his back was towards me. The people said, "This is Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith." Abu Lahab said to him, "Come here, O son of my brother." So Abu Sufyan went and sat with him. When the people saw them, they gathered around them. Abu Lahab asked Abu Sufyan, "How did things go with the people?" Abu Sufyan replied, "Nothing, By Allah, if we had met them and they attacked us, they would have killed us as they pleased and captured us as they pleased. By Allah, I have not seen people with white garments on fast horses like them. By Allah, no one could stand against them." Then, I lifted up the door of the room and said, "By Allah, those were angels." Abu Lahab raised his hand and struck me on the face, causing my nose to bleed. He then threw me to the ground, hitting me until I fell down. Umm Al-Fadl stood up and seized him, taking hold of a pillar in the room and struck him with it, causing him to bleed from the head, and she said, "O enemy of Allah, you have weakened him. If you have seen his master absent, he would have stood up humiliated. By Allah, he did not live for more than seven nights until Allah struck him with a swelling, and he died. He left his two sons for two or three nights without burying him until you (Quraysh) did." Then a man from Quraysh said to his two sons, "Are you not ashamed that your father's body is in his house?" They replied, "We fear this wound." Quraysh used to fear this swelling just as they feared the plague. The man said, "I will go with you." They said, "By Allah, they did not wash him except by pouring water on him from a distance. Then they carried him to the highest point in Makkah and threw him over the wall, and then they stoned him." Adh-Dhahabi remained silent about this in his summary.

[Machine] The translation is as follows:

"This is the month when the son of Abdullah ibn Abdul Muttalib, Muhammad, the last of the prophets, would leave the sanctuary, migrate to a cluster of palm trees, a valley, and swim. Beware of going ahead of him," Talha said. When he said this, it hit my heart, so I hurriedly left until I reached Makkah. I asked, "Has anything happened?" They said, "Yes, Muhammad ibn Abdullah, the trustworthy, has prophesied, and Ibn Abi Quhafa has followed him." I left until I entered upon Abu Bakr and asked, "Have you followed this man?" He replied, "Yes, so set out to meet him and join him, for he calls to the truth." Talha informed him of what the hermit had said. Abu Bakr came with Talha and entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and then Talha accepted Islam and informed the Prophet of what the hermit had said. The Prophet explained it to him. When Abu Bakr and Talha embraced Islam, Nawfal ibn Khuwaylid ibn Al-Adawiyyah took hold of them with one rope, and the sons of Taim did not prevent him. Nawfal ibn Khuwaylid was called Ashadd Quraish (the harshest of the Quraish) because of this incident, and that is why Abu Bakr and Talha were known as Al-Qariniyin (the two Caravan Leaders). Talha did not participate in the Battle of Badr because he was with the Prophet and Sa'id ibn Zaid, spying on the movements of the caravan. When they returned, the Prophet had already finished fighting the polytheists. They met him in a shaded area, Munthah, near the valley of Badr, while he was returning from the battle. However, he witnessed Uhud and other events with the Prophet. He was one of those who stood firm with the Prophet on the Day of Uhud, when the people left him and pledged allegiance to him even until death. Malik ibn Zuhayr threw a spear at the Prophet that day, and Talha protected him with his hand. His little finger was injured, so he said, "Ouch, ouch," when he was struck by the spear. Talha mentioned that the Prophet had said, "If he had said 'Bismillah', he would have entered Paradise while people were watching." On that day, Talha was struck on the head with a severe blow by a polytheist. The blow was delivered twice while Talha was facing him, and one blow while he turned his back. Dhirar ibn Al-Khattab Al-Fihri used to say, 'By Allah, I struck him that day.'"

On the day of Hunayn we travelled with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we journeyed for a long time until the evening came. I attended the prayer along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. A horseman came and said: Messenger of Allah, I went before you and climbed a certain mountain where saw Hawazin all together with their women, cattle, and sheep, having gathered at Hunayn. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and said: That will be the booty of the Muslims tomorrow if Allah wills. He then asked: Who will be on guard tonight? Anas ibn AbuMarthad al-Ghanawi said: I shall , Messenger of Allah. He said: Then mount your horse. He then mounted his horse, and came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah said to him: Go forward to this ravine till you get to the top of it. We should not be exposed to danger from your side. In the morning the Apostle of of Allah ﷺ came out to his place of prayer, and offered two rak'ahs. He then said: Have you seen any sign of your horseman? They said: We have not, Messenger of Allah. The announcement of the time for prayer was then made, and while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was saying the prayer, he began to glance towards the ravine. When he finished his prayer and uttered salutation, he said: Cheer up, for your horseman has come. We therefore began to look between the trees in the ravine, and sure enough he had come. He stood beside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, saluted him and said: I continued till I reached the top of this ravine where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me, and in the morning I looked down into both ravines but saw no one. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him: Did you dismount during the night? He replied: No, except to pray or to relieve myself. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You have ensured your entry to (Paradise). No blame will be attached to you supposing you do not work after it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2501)   

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَهْلَ بْنَ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ يَذْكُرُ أَنَّهُمْ سَارُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنِ فَأَطْنَبُوا السَّيْرَ حَتَّى كَانَ عَشِيَّةً فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَارِسٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي انْطَلَقْتُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ حَتَّى طَلَعْتُ جَبَلَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِذَا أَنَا بِهَوَازِنَ عَلَى بَكْرَةِ أَبِيهِمْ بِظُعُنِهِمْ وَنَعَمِهِمْ وَشَائِهِمْ فَاجْتَمَعُوا إِلَى حُنَيْنٍ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ تِلْكَ غَنِيمَةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ غَدًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَنْ يَحْرُسُنَا اللَّيْلَةَ؟» فَقَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَرْثَدٍ الْغَنَوِيُّ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ «ارْكَبْ» فَرَكِبَ فَرَسًا لَهُ فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اسْتَقْبِلْ هَذَا الشِّعْبَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ فِي أَعْلَاهُ وَلَا تَفِرَّنَّ مِنْ قِبَلِكَ اللَّيْلَةَ» فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى مُصَلَّاهُ فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَلْ أَحْسَسْتُمْ فَارِسَكُمْ؟» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مَا أَحْسَسْنَا فَثَوَّبَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى الشِّعْبِ حَتَّى قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ فَقَالَ «أَبْشِرُوا فَقَدْ جَاءَ فَارِسُكُمْ» قَالَ فَجَعَلْنَا نَنْظُرُ إِلَى ظِلِّ الشَّجَرِ فِي الشِّعْبِ فَإِذَا هُوَ جَاءَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي انْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى كُنْتُ فِي أَعْلَى هَذَا الشِّعْبِ حَيْثُ أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ اطَّلَعْتُ عَلَى الشِّعْبَيْنِ فَنَظَرْتُ فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «نَزَلِتَ اللَّيْلَةَ؟» فَقَالَ لَا إِلَّا مُصَلِّيًا أَوْ قَاضِي حَاجَةٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَدْ أَوْجَبْتَ فَلَا عَلَيْكَ أَنْ لَا تَعْمَلَ بَعْدَهَا» هَذَا الْإِسْنَادُ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ «غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمَا لَمْ يُخَرِّجَا مَسَانِيدَ سَهْلِ بْنِ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ لِقِلَّةِ رِوَايَةِ التَّابِعِينَ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ مِنْ كِبَارِ الصَّحَابَةِ عَلَى مَا قَدَّمْتُ الْقَوْلَ فِي أَوَانِهِ» على شرط البخاري ومسلم لكن لم يخرجا لسهل وهو صحابي كبير  

[Machine] Sumurah, while I was a young boy from the Ansar, we were throwing objects for ourselves during the time of the Prophet ﷺ. When the sun reached the height of two or three lances above the horizon, it became darkened and shone like a firefly. One of us said to his companion, "Let's go to the mosque, and I swear by Allah that this matter of the sun will be mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in his Ummah." So we went to the mosque, and we found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing among the people. He came forward and led us in prayer, the longest prayer he ever prayed with us, in which we could not even hear his voice. Then he performed ruku (bowing) with us, the longest ruku he ever performed with us, in which we could not hear his voice. Then he performed sujud (prostration) with us, the longest sujud he ever performed with us, in which we could not hear his voice. Then he did the same in the second raka'ah, and when the sun reappeared during the second raka'ah, he sat down. Then he said, "O people, indeed I am only a human being and the Messenger of Allah. But I remind you of Allah, if you know that I have not conveyed any of the messages of my Lord, which you informed me of, until I convey them as they should be conveyed. And if you know that I have conveyed the messages of my Lord, which you informed me of." Then the people stood up and said, "We bear witness that you have conveyed the messages of your Lord and advised your Ummah, and you have fulfilled what is upon you." Then they fell silent, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for what follows, there are men who claim that the eclipse of this sun, the eclipse of this moon, and the disappearance of these stars from their stations cause the death of great men from the people of the earth. Indeed, they are liars, but they are signs from the signs of Allah by which He tests His servants. Let the one among them who will repent come forward." By Allah, since I started praying, I have not met any of you in your current worldly and hereafter conditions. And by Allah, the Hour will not be established until thirty liars will appear, the last of them being the lame Dajjal. He will have a deformed eye like the eye of Abi Yahya, a sheikh from the Ansar. And when he appears, he will claim that he is Allah. Whoever believes in him, verifies his claim, and follows him, then none of his past deeds will benefit him. And whoever denies him and rejects him, then none of his past deeds will harm him. Indeed, he will appear on the entire earth except for the Haram and Bayt al-Maqdis. And indeed, he will besiege the believers in Bayt al-Maqdis, and they will shake violently. Then Jesus, the son of Mary, will descend among them, and Allah will defeat him and his soldiers, to the extent that the black stone will call out, "O believer! This is a disbeliever hiding behind me, so come and kill him." He said, "But that will not happen until you see matters becoming widespread and severe. You will ask each other, 'Did your Prophet ﷺ mention anything about this?' And until mountains move from their places and continue to move until the seizing (of souls) comes. He pointed with his hand, and he said, "Then he delivered another sermon, in which he mentioned what he mentioned before and did not delay it or precede it."

[Machine] Jalibib was a man from the Ansar who used to visit women and talk to them. Abu Barzah said, "I told my wife, 'Jalibib should not enter upon you.'" The companions of the Prophet ﷺ used to not marry off their daughters until they knew whether the Messenger ﷺ wanted them or not. One day, the Prophet ﷺ said to a man from the Ansar, 'O so-and-so, marry your daughter to me.' He said, 'Yes, and may our eyes find rest.' The man asked, 'Is it for myself or someone else?' He replied, 'For Jalibib.' The man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, should I consult her mother?' He then went to her mother and said, 'Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is proposing to marry your daughter.' She replied, 'Yes, and may our eyes find rest.' He asked, 'Is it for himself or someone else?' She said, 'For Jalibib.' He questioned, 'For Jalibib?' She responded, 'By Allah, I will not marry Jalibib.' When her father stood up to go to the Prophet ﷺ , the girl asked her mother, 'Who proposed to you?' She said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' The girl then said, 'Will you reject the proposal of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or me? Accompany me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as he will not disappoint me.' So her father went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'What is your opinion regarding her?' The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'Marry her to Jalibib.' Hammaad said, 'And do you know what he supplicated for her?' Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talhah narrated, 'What did he supplicate?' He said, 'O Allah, pour blessings on them abundantly and do not make their lives difficult.' Thabit said, 'So he married her to him.' While the Prophet ﷺ was in a battle, he asked, 'Is anyone missing?' They said, 'No.' He inquired, 'But I am missing Jalibib. Look for him among the martyrs.' They found him lying beside seven fallen enemies. Then they killed him. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'So he killed seven and they killed him? This act was from me, and I am pleased with him.' He mentioned this seven times, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed him on his arm. There was no bed that did not have the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ arm except for Jalibib's, until he was placed in his grave.' Thabit said, 'He was one of the Ansar who spent in charity whatever he possessed.'  

أَنَّ جُلَيْبِيبًا كَانَ امْرَأً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَكَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ وَيَتَحَدَّثُ إِلَيْهِنَّ قَالَ أَبُو بَرْزَةَ فَقُلْتُ لِامْرَأَتِي لَا يَدْخُلَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ جُلَيْبِيبٌ قَالَ فَكَانَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ لِأَحَدِهِمْ أَيِّمٌ لَمْ يُزَوِّجْهَا حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ أَلِرَسُولِ ﷺ فِيهَا حَاجَةٌ أَمْ لَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ «يَا فُلَانُ زَوِّجْنِي ابْنَتَكَ» قَالَ نَعَمْ وَنُعْمَى عَيْنٍ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَسْتُ لِنَفْسِي أُرِيدُهَا» قَالَ فَلِمَنْ؟ قَالَ «لِجُلَيْبِيبٍ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْمِرَ أُمَّهَا فَأَتَاهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ ابْنَتَكِ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ وَنُعْمَى عَيْنٍ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَتْ لِنَفْسِهِ يُرِيدُهَا قَالَتْ فَلِمَنْ يُرِيدُهَا؟ قَالَ لِجُلَيْبِيبٍ قَالَتْ حَلْقَى أَلِجُلَيْبِيبٍ؟ قَالَتْ لَا لَعَمْرُ اللَّهِ لَا أُزَوِّجُ جُلَيْبِيبًا فَلَمَّا قَامَ أَبُوهَا لَيَأْتِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَتِ الْفَتَاةُ مِنْ خِدْرِهَا لِأُمِّهَا مَنْ خَطَبَنِي إِلَيْكُمَا قَالَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ أَتَرُدُّونَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمْرَهُ ادْفَعُونِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ يُضَيِّعَنِي فَذَهَبَ أَبُوهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ شَأْنُكَ بِهَا فَزَوَّجَهَا جُلَيْبِيبًا قَالَ حَمَّادٌ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا دَعَا لَهَا بِهِ قَالَ وَمَا دَعَا لَهَا بِهِ؟ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ صُبَّ الْخَيْرَ عَلَيْهِمَا صَبًّا وَلَا تَجْعَلْ عَيْشَهُمَا كَدًّا» قَالَ ثَابِتٌ فَزَوَّجَهَا إِيَّاهُ فَبَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزَاةٍ قَالَ «تَفْقِدُونَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ؟ » قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «لَكِنِّي أَفْقِدُ جُلَيْبِيبًا فَاطْلُبُوهُ فِي الْقَتْلَى» فَوَجَدُوهُ إِلَى جَنْبِ سَبْعَةٍ قَدْ قَتَلَهُمْ ثُمَّ قَتَلُوهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَقَتَلَ سَبْعَةً ثُمَّ قَتَلُوهُ ? هَذَا مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ» يَقُولُهَا سَبْعًا فَوَضَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى سَاعِدَيْهِ مَا لَهُ سَرِيرٌ إِلَّا سَاعِدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى وَضَعَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ قَالَ ثَابِتٌ وَمَا كَانَ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ أَيِّمٌ أَنْفَقُ مِنْهَا  

[Machine] When it was Monday, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ removed the curtain of the room and saw Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq praying with the people. He said, "I looked at his face, and it was as if it was a page of the Quran, and he was smiling. We almost got distracted in our prayers out of joy of seeing the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Abu Bakr intended to move, but when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured to him, he stayed in his place. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ opened the curtain and performed his prayer. On the same day, he passed away. Umar ibn Al-Khattab stood up and said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not die, but he was sent to him as Moses was sent to him, and he resided among his people for forty nights. By Allah, I hope that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ will live until he cuts off the hands of men from the hypocrites and silences their tongues, who claim that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has died." Al-Zuhri reported that Anas ibn Malik informed him that he heard the speech of Umar ibn Al-Khattab about the Hereafter when he sat on the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day after his death. Umar and Abu Bakr were quiet and did not speak, then Umar said, "As for the yesterday's statement, it was not as I said, and by Allah, I did not find the statement that I said in a book revealed by Allah or in a covenant given to me by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . But I hoped that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would live until he settles our affairs. If Muhammad ﷺ has indeed died, then Allah has placed among you a light, by which you will be guided. Hold fast to it, and be guided by what Allah has guided Muhammad ﷺ to. And indeed, Abu Bakr, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , is the second of the two. And he is the most deserving among you of your affairs. So pledge allegiance to him. And indeed, a group of them had already pledged allegiance to him in Saqifah Bani Sa'idah. And the pledge of the common people was on the pulpit."

[Machine] Narrated by Abu Rafi, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ : I was a servant to Abbas ibn Abdul-Muttalib and I had already embraced Islam, along with Umm al-Fadl. Abbas also embraced Islam but he kept his conversion a secret due to fear of his people. Abu Lahab, on the other hand, had turned away from the Battle of Badr and sent Akhtab ibn Hisham in his place. Akhtab owed a debt to Abbas, so he asked him to cover his debt in return for joining the battle. Abbas agreed, and when news of the battle arrived, Allah inflicted punishment upon Abu Lahab. I was weak at that time and I used to carve these (stone) vessels in a small room. Abu Lahab passed by me and, by Allah, I was sitting in the room carving the vessels while Umm al-Fadl was by me. Abu Lahab saw her and started dragging her by her legs. I said to him, "This is Umm al-Fadl, the sinner, the wife of Abbas, and you see her dragging on the ground?" He replied, "O nephew! Go away and mind your own business." So, Abu Lahab went away and sat next to the pillar in front of the room, with his back towards me. People said, "This is Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith." Then Abu Lahab called me saying, "O nephew! Come here." I went to him and he said, "O nephew! Look at the people. How did they react?" I said, "By Allah, they did not move except when we met them and they attacked us and we defended ourselves. They killed us as they pleased and captured us as they pleased."

By Allah, when I saw the people, I could not bear it. I took the pillar of the room and said, "By Allah, these are the angels." Abu Lahab raised his hand to slap me, but I ducked and his blow struck my face instead. Umm al-Fadl witnessed this and she held him back. I then picked up a piece of the pillar and hit him with it, causing a deep wound on his head. She said, "You enemy of Allah, have you oppressed him when you see his master absent?" Abu Lahab became submissive and, by Allah, he did not live for more than seven nights before Allah struck him with a disease that killed him. His sons left him for two or three nights until they buried him. A man from Quraish said to his sons, "Aren't you ashamed? Your father has died and you have left him in his house." They replied, "We fear this disease." Quraish used to avoid the disease like they would avoid the plague. The man said, "I will go with you." They replied, "By Allah, they only washed him by throwing water at him from distant places and then they carried him and threw him on top of a wall. They stoned him to death."

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Medina, after his departure from Taif, Bujair ibn Zuhair ibn Abi Sulma wrote to his brother Ka'ab ibn Zuhair ibn Abi Sulma, informing him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had killed a man in Makkah who used to insult and harm him. He also mentioned that the remaining poets of Quraysh, such as Ibn Al-Ziba'ra and Hubayrah ibn Abi Wahb, had fled in all directions. If there is something you need for yourself, then flee to the Messenger ﷺ as he does not kill anyone who comes to him repenting. And if you do not do so, then escape to your own safety. Ka'ab recited poems in which he praised the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned his fear and the trembling of his knees due to the news. Then he left until he reached Medina and stayed with a man who had a connection with him from Juheinah, as he had told me. The next morning, he accompanied him to the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ prayer. He prayed with the people, then his companion pointed him towards the Prophet ﷺ and said, "This is the Messenger of Allah, so go to him and seek his protection." He told me that he approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and placed his hand in his hand, but the Messenger of Allah did not recognize him. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, Ka'ab ibn Zuhair has come seeking your protection, having repented and embraced Islam. Will you accept him if I bring him to you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Yes." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am Ka'ab ibn Zuhair." Ibn Ishaq said, Asim ibn Omar ibn Qatadah narrated to me that a man from the Ansar jumped towards him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, let me and Allah's enemy strike his neck." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Leave him, for he has come repenting and seeking pardon." The Ansar were angry with this man for what he had done to their companion.  

لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ مُنْصَرَفِهِ مِنَ الطَّائِفِ كَتَبَ بُجَيْرُ بْنُ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلْمَى إِلَى أَخِيهِ كَعْبِ بْنِ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلْمَى يُخْبِرُهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَتَلَ رَجُلًا بِمَكَّةَ مِمَّنْ كَانَ يَهْجُوهُ وَيُؤْذِيهِ وَأَنَّهُ مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنْ شُعَرَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ ابْنُ الزِّبَعْرَى وَهُبَيْرَةُ بْنُ أَبِي وَهْبٍ قَدْ هَرَبُوا فِي كُلِّ وَجْهٍ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ حَاجَةٌ فَفِرَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ ﷺ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَقْتُلُ أَحَدًا جَاءَ تَائِبًا وَإِنْ أَنْتَ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَانْجُ إِلَى نَجَائِكَ وَقَدْ كَانَ كَعْبٌ قَالَ أَبْيَاتًا نَالَ فِيهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ كَعْبًا الْكِتَابُ ضَاقَتْ بِهِ الْأَرْضُ وَأَشْفَقَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَأَرْجَفَ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَ فِي حَاضَرِهِ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِ قَالُوا هُوَ مَقْتُولٌ فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَجِدْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ بَدَا قَالَ قَصِيدَتَهُ الَّتِي مَدَحَ فِيهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَذَكَرَ خَوْفَهُ وَإِرْجَافَ الْوُشَاةِ بِهِ مِنْ غَدِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَنَزَلَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنِهِ مَعْرِفَةٌ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ كَمَا ذَكَرَ لِي فَغَدَا بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ فَصَلَّى مَعَ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ أَشَارَ لَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ فَقُمْ إِلَيْهِ فَاسْتَأْمِنْهُ فَذَكَرَ لِي أَنَّهُ قَامَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى وَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي يَدِهِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ لَا يَعْرِفُهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ زُهَيْرٍ جَاءَ يَسْتَأْمِنُ مِنْكَ تَائِبًا مُسْلِمًا فَهَلْ أَنْتَ قَابِلٌ مِنْهُ إِنْ أَنَا جِئْتُكَ بِهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا كَعْبُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ وَثَبَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دَعْنِي وَعَدُوَّ اللهِ أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «دَعْهُ عَنْكَ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَ تَائِبًا نَازِعًا» فَغَضِبَ عَلَى هَذَا الْحَيِّ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِمَا صَنَعَ بِهِ صَاحِبِهِمْ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Madinah after his departure from Ta'if, Bujayr bin Zuhair bin Abi Salamah wrote to his brother Ka'b bin Zuhair bin Abi Salamah, informing him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had killed a man in Makkah who used to insult and harm him. He mentioned that the remaining poets of the Quraysh, Ibn Ziba'rah and Hubayrah bin Abi Wahb, had fled in all directions. He advised Ka'b to seek the protection of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , as he does not kill anyone who comes to him repenting. If he did not want to do that, he should go to his own people for help. When Ka'b received the letter, he felt overwhelmed and frightened for his life. Those who were present with him trembled, assuming that he had been killed. When he could not find anything to say, he recited the poem he had composed praising the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and describing his fear and the trembling of his limbs. Then he left until he reached Madinah and stayed with a man named Ma'rifah, with whom he had some connection in Juhaynah. In the morning, he went with him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and prayed with the people. Then Ma'rifah pointed him out to the Prophet, saying, "This is the Messenger of Allah." He asked Ka'b to come forward and gave him his hand. Since the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not know who he was, Ka'b said, "O Messenger of Allah, Ka'b bin Zuhair has come, seeking your protection, remorseful and a Muslim. Would you be willing to receive him if I bring him to you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Yes." Ka'b then said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am Ka'b bin Zuhair." Ibn Ishaq said that 'Asim bin 'Umar bin Qatadah reported that a man from the Ansar alighted and said, "O Messenger of Allah, let me take his life for you as the enemy of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Leave him, as he has come repentant and seeking forgiveness." The Ansar became angry at him for what he had done to their companion. That happened because they did not know that Ka'b had come repentant, seeking forgiveness.  

لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ مُنْصَرَفِهِ مِنَ الطَّائِفِ كَتَبَ بُجَيْرُ بْنُ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلْمَى إِلَى أَخِيهِ كَعْبِ بْنِ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلْمَى يُخْبِرُهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَتَلَ رَجُلًا بِمَكَّةَ مِمَّنْ كَانَ يَهْجُوهُ وَيُؤْذِيهِ وَأَنَّهُ مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنْ شُعَرَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ ابْنُ الزِّبَعْرَى وَهُبَيْرَةُ بْنُ أَبِي وَهْبٍ قَدْ هَرَبُوا فِي كُلِّ وَجْهٍ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ حَاجَةٌ فَفِرَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ ﷺ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَقْتُلُ أَحَدًا جَاءَ تَائِبًا وَإِنْ أَنْتَ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَانْجُ إِلَى نَجَائِكَ وَقَدْ كَانَ كَعْبٌ قَالَ أَبْيَاتًا نَالَ فِيهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ كَعْبًا الْكِتَابُ ضَاقَتْ بِهِ الْأَرْضُ وَأَشْفَقَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَأَرْجَفَ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَ فِي حَاضَرِهِ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِ قَالُوا هُوَ مَقْتُولٌ فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَجِدْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ بَدَا قَالَ قَصِيدَتَهُ الَّتِي مَدَحَ فِيهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَذَكَرَ خَوْفَهُ وَإِرْجَافَ الْوُشَاةِ بِهِ مِنْ غَدِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَنَزَلَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنِهِ مَعْرِفَةٌ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ كَمَا ذَكَرَ لِي فَغَدَا بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ فَصَلَّى مَعَ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ أَشَارَ لَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ فَقُمْ إِلَيْهِ فَاسْتَأْمِنْهُ فَذَكَرَ لِي أَنَّهُ قَامَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى وَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي يَدِهِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ لَا يَعْرِفُهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ زُهَيْرٍ جَاءَ يَسْتَأْمِنُ مِنْكَ تَائِبًا مُسْلِمًا فَهَلْ أَنْتَ قَابِلٌ مِنْهُ إِنْ أَنَا جِئْتُكَ بِهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا كَعْبُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ وَثَبَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دَعْنِي وَعَدُوَّ اللهِ أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «دَعْهُ عَنْكَ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَ تَائِبًا نَازِعًا» فَغَضِبَ عَلَى هَذَا الْحَيِّ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِمَا صَنَعَ بِهِ صَاحِبِهِمْ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ  

[Machine] "And the Messenger ﷺ settled with the tribe of Qurayzah until they asked him to appoint a judge between him and them. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Choose from my Companions whom you want, and we will listen to his words.' So they chose Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was pleased with their choice. He commanded them to bring their weapons, and they were placed in a house. He ordered them to shave their heads and to tie themselves up, so they were placed in the home of Usamah ibn Zayd. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for Sa'd ibn Mu'adh and he arrived riding on a donkey with an Arab man who claimed that his donkey's hooves were wounded from the roughness of the ground. Sa'd walked beside him, extolling the rights of the tribe of Qurayzah, reminding them of their oath, and how they were put to test on the Day of Bi'thah (Pledge of Allegiance). They chose you above others in hopes of your mercy and compassion towards them. So hasten to them, for they are assets to you and they are numerous.' This man repeated this many times, and Sa'd did not respond to him until they came closer. The man asked him, 'Will you not turn back and do something to me?' Sa'd replied, 'By Allah, I do not care for the blame of anyone for the sake of Allah.' So the man left and went back to his people in despair, informing them of what Sa'd told him. They thought that Sa'd had refused to speak to them, so they sent him with a message to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'O Sa'd, judge between us and them.' Sa'd said, 'I judge that their fighters should be killed, their women and children taken as captives, and their wealth seized.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Sa'd has given judgement with the judgement of Allah.' Some people claim that they were not content with the judgement of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent back the jurisdiction of the matter to Sa'd ibn Mu'adh. They sent messengers to Sa'd one after the other and their heads were struck off. The last one to be killed was Huwayy ibn Akhtab. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'May Allah disgrace you!' Huwayy replied, 'You have come to know me well, and I do not blame myself regarding you.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered for him to be taken out to the oil market and his head was struck off. All of this was done by the command of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, and it is claimed that Sa'd was acquitted from any guilt. He took refuge behind Allah's oath of innocence. Then he supplicated to Allah saying, 'O Allah, Lord of the skies and the earth, there is no people on the face of the earth whom I hate more than those who lied against Your Messenger and expelled him. I think that You have put an end to the fighting between us and them. If there is any fighting left between us, then let me fight them in You. And if You have put an end to the fighting between us and them, then cause this spot to be destroyed and let me die here.' So Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, caused the spot to be destroyed, and he died right there. The statement of Allah (in the Quran) was fulfilled, and Allah's mercy be upon him."

[Machine] We were a people of merchants, and war had besieged us between us and the Messenger of Allah until our wealth was destroyed. When a ceasefire was made between us and the Messenger of Allah, we did not feel safe with our wealth. So I went out with a group from Quraysh, heading towards Syria, where our trade was. I arrived there during the time when Heraclius appeared. He detained those who opposed him from Persia and confiscated their cross, which they had seized from him. When Heraclius heard this news from them and learned that his cross had been saved for him, he was overjoyed and thanked Allah. When Heraclius returned to him what he had returned for him to pray in the holy house, the path was extended for him with rugs and scented with musk. When he reached Jerusalem and completed his prayer, with him were his staff and the bishops of the Romans. The Messenger of Allah’s letter arrived for him, carried by Dhihya ibn Khalifa al-Kalbi, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. From Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, to Heraclius, the great leader of the Romans, peace be upon whoever follows guidance. To proceed, submit and you will be safe. Submit and Allah will give you twice your reward. But if you turn away, then the sin of the disbelievers will be upon you. Muhammad ibn Ishaq said that Ibn Shihab narrated to him that the bishops of the Christians said, "I met him (Heraclius) during the time of 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan and he claimed that he knew about the affair of the Messenger of Allah and Heraclius. His intellect mentioned that when he received the Messenger of Allah's letter. he placed it between his two thighs and waist. Then he wrote to a man in Rome who used to recite from the Hebrew what he recited, mentioning his affair and describing his state. With this news that had come to him, he wrote to the companion of the Roman asking him to inform Heraclius that this was the Prophet that they had been awaiting, with no doubt about him. So they followed him and believed in him, and Heraclius ordered the bishops of the Romans to bring him the crosses of the Romans. They gathered them for him in a pillowcase, which was carried on the gates, and then he inspected them from above and appreciated them, for they feared for their own selves. They said, 'O Romans, I have gathered you for news. This man has sent me a letter inviting me to his religion, and by Allah, this is the man that we have been anticipating, and we find mention of him in our scriptures. So come, let us follow him and believe in him, and he will grant us our worldly needs as well as the hereafter.' So they prostrated before him, and he ordered the opening of the gates, so they opened for them and they left.

[Machine] Salih, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , seized the property of the people of Khaybar, except for themselves and their children. The Prophet then asked for the whereabouts of their utensils that were used in their weddings, to which they replied that the Prophet had expelled them and they had spent it. The Prophet said, "See what you say, for if you hide it from me, I will consider it as your blood and that of your descendants." Then he called two men from the Ansar and said to them, "Go to such and such a place and look for a hut with a patch on its roof. Remove the patch and bring me the utensils." They went and returned with the utensils. The Messenger of Allah struck their necks and sent for their offspring. Safiyya, who was their bride, was brought to him. He ordered Bilal to take her to his house. Bilal went with her to the house of the Messenger of Allah. He passed by her husband and brother, who were killed. When he returned to the Messenger of Allah, he said, "Glory be to Allah! O Bilal, why did you bring a virgin girl and pass by two killed men while she saw them? Don't you have any mercy?" Bilal replied, "I intended to burn her chest." The Messenger of Allah then entered with her and spent the night with her. Abu Ayub brought his sword and sat next to the mattress. He said, "If I had heard a shepherd or a monk, I would have been close to the Messenger of Allah." The Prophet then went to Bilal's house and asked, "Who is this?" Abu Ayub said, "I am Abu Ayub." The Prophet asked, "Why are you here at this time?" Abu Ayub replied, "O Messenger of Allah, I brought a virgin girl and you had killed her husband and brother, so I was concerned for your safety. I thought I would be close to the Messenger of Allah." The Prophet said, "May Allah have mercy on you, Abu Ayub," three times. The people then discussed this matter, with some saying it was his secret and others saying she was his wife. When they were leaving, they said, "Look at the Messenger of Allah, if he covers her, then she is his wife, and if he doesn't cover her, then she is his secret." The Messenger of Allah covered her, put her on his knee, and said, "Mount." The Messenger of Allah honored her by putting her foot on his knee, and he put his knee on her thigh, and they rode off together. Before that, he had offered her the choice to either be set free or be married to him, and she chose to be set free and married. And so he did.  

صَالَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ عَلَى كُلِّ صَفْرَاءَ وَبَيْضَاءَ وَعَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَذَرَارِيَهُمْ قَالَ فَأُتِي بِالرَّبِيعِ وَكِنَانَةَ ابْنِي أَبِي الْحُقَيْقِ وَأَحَدُهُمَا عَرُوسٌ بِصَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيٍّ فَقَالَ «أَيْنَ آنِيَتُكُمُ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُسْتَعارُ فِي أَعْرَاسِِ الْمَدِينَةِ؟» قَالَ أَخْرَجْتَنَا وأَجْلَيْتَنَا فَأَنْفَقْناها فَقَالَ «انْظُرا مَا تَقُولَانِ فَإِنَّكُمَا إِنْ كَتَمْتَانِي اسْتَحْلَلْتُ بِذَلِكَ دماءَكُمُا وذُرِّيَّتَكُمَا» قَالَ فَدَعَا رَجُلَيْنِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ «اذْهَبْ مَكَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَانْظُرْ نُخَيْلَةً فِي رَأْسِهَا رُقْعَةٌ فَانْزَعْ تِلْكَ الرُّقْعَةَ وَاسْتَخْرِجْ تِلْكَ الْآنِيَةَ وَائْتِنِي بِهَا» فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى جَاءَ بِهَا فَقَدَّمَهُما رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَضَرَبَ أعناقَهُما وَبَعَثَ إِلَى ذُرِّيَّتِهما فَأُتِي بِصَفِيَّةَ وَهِيَ عَرُوسٌ فَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَانْطَلَقَ بِهَا إِلَى مَنْزِلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقَ بِلَالٌ فَمَرَّ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا وَأَخِيهِ وَهُمَا قَتِيلَانِ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مَا أَرَدْتَ يَا بِلَالُ إِلَى جَارِيَةٍ بَكْرٍ تَمُرُّ بِهَا عَلَى قَتِيلَيْنِ تُرِيهُمَا إِيَّاهُمَا أَمَا لَكَ رَحْمَةٌ؟» قَالَ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُحَرِّقَ جَوْفَهَا قَالَ وَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَبَاتَ مَعَهَا وَجَاءَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ بِسَيْفِهِ فَجَلَسَ إِلَى جَانِبِ الْفُسْطَاطِ قَالَ إِنْ سَمِعْتُ راعةً أَوْ رَابَنِي شَيْءٌ كُنْتُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ وَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى إِقَامَةِ بِلَالٍ قَالَ «مَنْ هَذَا» قَالَ أَنَا أَبُو أَيُّوبَ قَالَ «مَا شَأْنُكَ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ هَاهُنَا» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دَخَلْتَ بِجَارِيَةٍ بَكْرٍ وَقَدْ قَتَلْتَ زَوْجَهَا وَأَخَاهُ فَأَشْفَقْتُ عَلَيْكَ قُلْتُ أَكُونُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَأَكْثَرَ النَّاسُ فِيهَا فَقَائِلٌ يَقُولُ سُرِّيَّتُهُ وَقَائِلٌ يَقُولُ امْرَأَتُهُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ الرَّحِيلِ قَالُوا انْظُرُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِنْ حَجَبَهَا فَهِيَ امْرَأَتُهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَحْجُبْهَا فَهِيَ سُرِّيَّتُهُ فَأَخْرَجَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَجَبَها فَوَضَعَ لَهَا رُكْبَتَهُ فَقَالَ «ارْكَبِي» فَأَكْرَمَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ تَضَعَ قَدَمَهَا عَلَى رُكْبَتِهِ وَوَضَعَتْ رُكْبَتَهَا عَلَى فَخِذِهِ وَرَكِبَتْ وَقَدْ كَانَ عَرَضَ عَلَيْهَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَهَا سُرِّيَّةً أَوْ يُعْتِقَهَا وَيَنْكِحَهَا فَقَالَتْ لَا بَلْ أَعْتِقْنِي وَأَنْكِحْنِي فَفَعَلَ ﷺ  

[Machine] He informed him that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left Mecca as a migrant to Medina, the Quraysh tribe made a reward of one hundred camels for whoever returned him. He said, "While I was sitting in my tribe's assembly, a man from us came and said, 'By Allah, I saw three individuals pass by hurriedly, and I think one of them is Muhammad.' I gestured to him to be silent and said, 'They are from the Banu Fulan, following some stray camels.' He said, 'Perhaps.' Then he fell silent. I stayed for a while and then got up and ordered my horse to be tied to the bottom of the valley. I removed my weapon from behind my room and put on my armor. Then I took my spear, which I use for oaths, and wore it. I called my people and said, 'The one I dislike has come out, but it will not harm him.' I hoped to capture him and take the one hundred camels. I rode on their trail, but as my horse picked up its pace, it stumbled and I fell off. I took out my spear and made an oath. The arrow that I dislike came out, so I was determined to follow him. I mounted my horse and when the people appeared before me, my horse stumbled again and his hands fell to the ground. I fell and he picked up his hands, which emitted smoke, like ashes. I realized that he had been prevented from me and that he was apparent. I called to them and said, 'Look at me, and by Allah, I do not suspect you or dislike anything in you.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Tell me, what do you seek?' I said, 'Write for me a document between me and you, as a sign.' He said, 'Write, O Abu Bakr.' So he wrote it for me and handed it to me. I returned and remained silent, not mentioning anything that happened until Allah granted victory to His Messenger in Mecca and after the conquest of Hunayn. I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with the document he wrote for me. While I was going towards him, I passed by a group of Ansar soldiers. They shook their spears and said, 'To you, to you!' When I approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on his camel, I looked at his legs tied to the saddle, and it seemed as if they were burning. I pushed my hand forward with the document and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, this is your document.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'On a day of fulfillment and good deeds, approach.'" So I converted.  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ مُهَاجِرًا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ جَعَلَتْ قُرَيْشٌ لِمَنْ رَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِائَةَ نَاقَةٍ قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ فِي نَادِي قَوْمِي جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا فَقَالَ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَكَبَةً ثَلَاثَةً مَرُّوا عَلَيَّ آنِفًا إِنِّي لَأَظُنُّهُ مُحَمَّدًا قَالَ فَأَوْمَأَتُ إِلَيْهِ أَنِ اسْكُتْ وَقُلْتُ إِنَّمَا هُمْ بَنُو فُلَانٍ يَتَّبِعُونَ ضَالَّةً لَهُمْ قَالَ لَعَلَّهُ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ فَمَكَثْتُ قَلِيلًا وَقُمْتُ فَأَمَرْتُ بِفَرَسِي فَقِيدَ إِلَى بَطْنِ الْوَادِي فَأَخْرَجَتُ سِلَاحِي مِنْ وَرَاءِ حُجْرَتِي ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ قِدَاحِي الَّتِي أَسْتَقْسِمُ بِهَا ثُمَّ لَبِسْتُ لَأْمَتِي ثُمَّ أَخْرَجْتُ قِدَاحِي فَاسْتَقْسَمْتُ بِهَا وَقَالَ فَخَرَجَ الَّذِي أَكْرَهُ لَا يَضُرُّهُ وَكُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ أَرُدَّهُ فَآخُذَ الْمِائَةَ النَّاقَةَ فَرَكِبْتُ عَلَى أَثَرِهِمْ فَبَيْنَمَا فَرَسِي يَشْتَدُّ بِي عَثَرَ فَسَقَطْتُ عَنْهُ فَأَخْرَجَتُ قِدَاحِي فَاسْتَقْسَمْتُ فَخَرَجَ السَّهْمُ الَّذِي أَكْرَهُ لَا يَضُرُّهُ فَأَبَيْتُ إِلَّا أَنْ أَتَّبِعَهُ فَرَكِبْتُهُ فَلَمَّا بَدَا لِيَ الْقَوْمُ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ عَثَرَ بِي فَرَسِي وَذَهَبَتْ يَدَاهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَسَقَطْتُ فَاسْتَخْرَجَ يَدَهُ وَأَتْبَعَهَا دُخَانٌ مِثْلُ الْعُثَانِ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مُنِعَ مِنِّي وَأَنَّهُ ظَاهِرٌ فَنَادَيْتُهُمْ فَقُلْتُ أَنْظِرُونِي فَوَاللهِ إِنِّي لَا أَرِيبُكُمْ وَلَا يَبْدَؤُكُمْ مِنِّي شَيْءٌ تَكْرَهُونَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُلْ لَهُ مَاذَا يَبْتَغِي؟ فَقُلْتُ اكْتُبْ لِي كِتَابًا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ آيَةً قَالَ «اكْتُبْ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ» قَالَ فَكَتَبَ لِي ثُمَّ أَلْقَاهَا إِلَيَّ فَرَجَعْتُ فَسَكَتُّ فَلَمْ أَذْكُرْ شَيْئًا مِمَّا كَانَ حَتَّى إِذَا فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مَكَّةَ وَفَرَغَ مِنْ أَهْلِ حُنَيْنٍ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعِيَ الْكِتَابُ الَّذِي كَتَبَ لِي قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا عَامِدٌ لَهُ دَخَلْتُ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْ كَتِيبَةٍ مِنْ كَتَائِبِ الْأَنْصَارِ فَطَفِقُوا يَقْرَعُونِي بِالرِّمَاحِ وَيَقُولُونَ إِلَيْكَ إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى إِذَا دَنَوْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى سَاقَيْهِ فِي غَرْزِهِ كَأَنَّهَا جُمَّارَةٌ فَدَفَعْتُ يَدِي بِالْكِتَابِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا كِتَابُكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَوْمُ وَفَاءٍ وَبِرٍّ ادْنُهْ» فَأَسْلَمْتُ  

[Machine] He informed him that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left Mecca migrating to Medina, Quraysh offered a hundred camels to anyone who brought him back. He said, while I was sitting in my tribe's gathering, a man from us came and said, "By Allah, I saw three riders pass by me and I suspect that it was Muhammad." I motioned to him to be quiet and said, "They are surely the sons of so-and-so following a lost camel of theirs." He said, "Maybe." Then he remained silent for a while and I got up and commanded my horse to be tied to the bottom of the valley. I took my weapons from behind my room, then I wore it for my people. Then I took my weapons out and wore it, and he said, "The arrow that I hate, will never harm him." I did not want to leave him, so I commanded my horse and I followed their tracks. As they appeared to me, my horse stumbled and I fell off it. I got out my weapons and wore it again, and the arrow that I hated came out unharmed. I shouted to them and said, "Look at me, by Allah, I do not doubt you, and there is nothing from me that you despise." The Messenger of Allah said to him, "Tell him what he wants." So I said, "Write me a document between you and me." He said, "Write, O Abu Bakr." So he wrote it for me and threw it to me. Then I returned and remained silent and did not mention anything of what had happened until when Allah opened Mecca for his Messenger and finished with Hunain, I went out to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I had with me the book that he wrote for me. He said, while I was walking him, I entered between a group of Ansar's groups, and they shook me with their spears and said, "To you, to you." Until when I approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on his camel, I looked at his legs and saw them tied as if they were shackles, so I pushed my hand with the book and said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is your book." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "On the day of loyalty and righteousness." So I embraced Islam.

[Machine] That Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf, the Jewish poet, used to insult the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions and incite the polytheists of Quraysh against them in his poetry. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Medina, there were Muslims among them who were united by the call of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and among them were the polytheists who worshiped idols, as well as Jews and members of the Halqah and Hushun tribes who were allies of the Banu Aus and Khazraj. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to reconcile with them and establish good relations with them. There were men who were Muslims while their fathers were polytheists, and men who were Muslims while their brothers were polytheists. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Medina, the polytheists and Jews of the city would haraass the Prophet ﷺ and his companions the most. Allah commanded His Prophet ﷺ and the Muslims to bear patience and forgive them. In them, Allah the Most High revealed: "[There are] indeed many among them who harass the Prophet and say, 'He is a one who listens [to every word].' [But] the people of faith who were given the Scripture(s) before your time did the same; and the polytheists as well. If you were to yield to their desires, after the knowledge that has come to you, you would be a transgressor. And there are among the People of the Book those who would indeed wish to bring you back to infidelity after faith. [But] out of their selfish envy, even after the truth has become clear to them. So, forgive and overlook until Allah brings about His command. Indeed, Allah has power over all things." When Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf refused to stop his harm towards the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Muslims, the Prophet ﷺ ordered Sa'd bin Mu'adh, Muhammad bin Maslamah Al-Ansari, and Harith bin Aws bin Thabit Al-Ansari, as well as Abu 'Isa bin Habrah Al-Ansari and Harith bin Sa'd bin Mu'adh, to assassinate him. They went to him one evening in his assembly at Al-Awali and when Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf saw them, he sensed their intentions and asked them, "What brought you here?" They replied, "We came to discuss a matter with you." He said, "Then let one of you come closer to me and inform me about it." So, one of them approached him and said, "We came to negotiate selling you some armor, the proceeds of which we will use for charity." He said, "By Allah, if you do that, you would have exhausted yourselves. Since this man came to you, he has been challenging you to come to him for dinner when people have gone and it is a good opportunity. So, they went to him and one of them called out to him. When he stood up to go to them, his wife asked him, 'What are they asking of you at this time of the night? Is there something you desire from them?' He said, 'Yes, indeed they have told me something interesting.' Then, he went out to them. Muhammad bin Maslamah embraced him and said, 'Let none of you precede the others in slaying him. We will all kill him together, for if we allow him to speak a word, he will bewitch us.'" Then they stabbed him with their swords in his abdomen and killed him. When the Jews and the polytheists who were with them found out about it, they were alarmed and the next morning they went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'Our leader was killed last night and he was a nobleman among us.' So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited to them some of his poetry in which he insulted and harmed them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then called them to write a document between him and them and the Muslims in general, which would include the agreement of the people. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote it.

[Machine] I saw Umar ibn Al-Khattab before he was struck by the days in Medina. He stood with Hudhaifah ibn Al-Yaman and Uthman ibn Hunayf and said, "How have you two managed to bear the burden of the earth that it cannot bear?" They said, "We have carried it by a command that it can bear." Hudhaifah said, "If I were to carry it, it would be weakened." Uthman ibn Hunayf said, "I have carried it by a command that it can bear, without any great favor." Umar then said, "See that you have not carried the burden of the earth that it cannot bear." They said, "No." Umar said, "If Allah grants me safety, I will leave the widows of Iraq without needing any man after me." He said, "Only four things came upon him until he was struck." He said, "And between me and him, there is no one except Abdullah ibn Abbas in the morning." He said, "And he used to stand between the rows. If he saw any disorder among them, he would say, 'Stand still until there is no disorder among them.' Then he would proceed and say the takbir." He said, "And perhaps he would recite Surah Yusuf or An-Nahl or something similar in the first raka'a until the people gathered." He said, "And it was only that he would say the takbir." He said, "I heard him say, 'The dog has killed me or the dog has eaten me,' when he was stabbed. Then he flew out of the wound with a double-edged knife that would not pass by anyone to the right or left except that it would stab him, until he stabbed thirteen men and nine of them died. When he saw that, a Muslim man threw a cloak on him. When the assassin thought that he had taken hold of him, he slit his own throat." He said, "And Umar held the hand of Abdullah ibn Awf and brought him forward." He said, "Who will take care of Umar? He has seen what he has seen." He said, "Regarding the surroundings of the mosque, they did not know anything except that they had lost the voice of Umar while they were saying, 'Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah.' Abdul-Rahman ibn Awf led them in a light prayer. When they finished, Umar said, 'O Ibn Abbas, see who killed me.' He went for a while and then came back and said, 'The slave of Al-Mughirah killed him.' He said, 'Really?' After they all spoke with their tongues and prayed towards their qibla and performed the Hajj according to their rites, he was brought to his house. We then left with him." He said, "And it was as if the people had not been affected by any calamity before that day. Some were saying, 'There is no harm,' while others were saying, 'We fear for him.' So they brought some wine and he drank it, and it came out of his wound. Then they brought some milk and he drank it, and it came out of his wound. They recognized that he was dead, and he mentioned this incident in his will and in the command to consult each other."

قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ: فَحَفِظتُ الأَبْيَاتَ وَرَجَعْتُ فَقَدِمْتُ مَكَّةَ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْر فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ الْخَبَرَ فَقَالَ: هَذَا مَحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الله قَدْ بَعَثَهُ الله رَسُولًا إِلَى خَلقِهِ فَأتِهِ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ في بَيْتِ خَدِيجَةَ فَاسْتَأذَنْتُ عَلَيْه، فَلَمَّا رآنِى ضَحِكَ وَقَالَ: أَرَى وَجْهًا خَليقًا أَرْجُو لَهُ خَيْرًا، مَا وَرَاءَكَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ؟ قُلْتُ: وَمَا ذَاكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ؟ قَالَ: حَمَلتَ إِلَىًّ وَدِيَعَةً أَوْ أَرْسَلَكَ إِلَىَّ مُرْسِلٌ بِرِسَالَةٍ فَهَاتِهَا، أَمَا إِنَّ أنْبَاءَ حِمْيرٍ منْ خَوَاصِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ: فَأسْلَمْتُ وَشَهِدْتُ أنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله، وَأَنْشدْتُهُ شعْرَهُ، وَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِقَوْلِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : رُبَّ مُؤْمِنٍ بِى وَلَمْ يَرَنِى، وَمُصَدِّقٍ بِى وَلَمْ يَشْهَدْنِى، أُولئِكَ (أَخْوَالِى حَقًا) (*) ".  

"عَنْ ابن إسْحَاق، حَدَّثَنى مَعَبد بن كعْب بن مَالِك أَنَّ أَخَاهُ عَبد الله بن كَعْب حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أَباه كَعْب بن مَالِكٍ، وَكَانَ مِمَّن شَهِدَ الْعَقَبَةَ وَبَايَعَ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ بِهَا، قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا فِى حُجَّاجِ قَومنَا مِنَ الْمشرِكينَ وَقَد صَلَّينَا وَفَقِهْنَا، وَمَعَنَا الْبَراءُ بن مَعْرور كَبيرنَا وسَيَّدنَا، قَالَ الْبرَاء لَنَا: يَا هَؤلَاء فَدْ رَأَيْتُ أنْ لَا أَدَع هذه البنية مِنِّى بِظَهْرٍ - يَعْنِى الكَعْبَة، وَأَنْ أُصَلِّى إِلَيْهَا، فقُلْنَا وَالله مَا بَلَغنَا أَنَّ نَبِيَّنَا ﷺ يصلى إلى الشَّامِ وَمَا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نخَالِفَه،

فَقَالَ: إِنِّى لَمصَلٍ إِلَيْهَا فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: لَكِنَّا لَا نَفْعَلُ، فَكُنَّا إِذَا حَضَرتِ الصَّلَاةُ صَلَّيْنَا إِلَى الشَّامِ وَصَلَّى إِلَى الكَعْبَةِ حَتَّى قَدمْنَا مَكَّةَ، وَقَد كُنَّا عبْنَا عَلَيْهِ مَا صَنَعَ وَأَبَى إِلَّا الإقَامَةَ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا قدْمنَا مَكَّةَ، قَالَ: يَا بْنَ أَخِى انْطَلق إِلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ حَتَّى أسْأَلهُ عَمَّا صَنَعْتُ فِى سَفَرِى هَذَا فَإِنِّى وَالله قَدْ وَقَعَ فِى نَفْسِى مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ ولمَا رَأَيتُ مِن خِلافِكم إيَّاىَ فِيهِ، فَخَرَجْنَا نَسْأَلُ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ وَكُنَّا لَا نَعْرِفهُ وَلَم نَرَهُ قَبْل ذَلِكَ، فَدَخَلْنَا المَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا العَبَّاسُ جَالِسٌ وَرَسُول الله ﷺ مَعَه جَالِسٌ، فَسَلَّمنَا ثُم جَلَسْنَا إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ الْبَراءُ بن مَعْرُور: يَا نَبِىَّ الله إنِّى خَرجْتُ فِى سَفَرِى هَذَا، وَقَد هَدَانِى الله - ﷻ - للإِسْلَامِ، فَرَأيتُ أن لَا أَجْعَلَ هَذِه الْبِنْيَةَ مِنِّى بِظَهْرٍ، فَصَلَّيْتُ إِلَيْهَا، وَقدْ خَالَفَنِى أَصْحَابِى فِى ذَلِكَ، حتَّى وَقَعَ فِى نَفْسِى مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَمَا تَرَى يَا رَسُول الله؟ قَالَ: لَقَد كُنْتَ عَلَى قِبْلَةٍ لَوْ صَبَرتَ عَلَيْهَا، فَرَجَعَ الْبراءُ إِلى قبلَةِ رَسُول الله ﷺ فَصَلَّى مَعَنَا إِلَى الشَّامِ، قَالَ: وَأَهْلهُ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى إِلَى الكَعْبَةِ حَتَّى مَاتَ، وَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ كمَا قَالُوا نَحنُ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنْهُم، قَالَ وَخَرَجْنَا إِلَى الْحَجِّ فَوَاعَدَنَا رَسُولُ الله ﷺ الْعَقَبَةَ مِنْ أَوسَطِ أيَّام التَّشْرِيقِ، فَلَمَّا فَرغْنَا مِنَ الْحَجِّ اجْتَمْعنَا تِلْكَ اللَّيلَةَ بِالشِّعبِ نَنْتَظِرُ رسُولَ الله ﷺ فَجَاءَ وَمَعَه الْعَبَّاس فَتَكلَّم الْعَبَّاس فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: قَد سَمِعْنَا مَا قُلْتَ، فَتَكَلَّم يَا رسُول الله فَخُذ لنِفسكَ ولِرَبَّكَ مَا أَحْبَبْتَ، فَتَكَلَّمَ رَسُول الله ﷺ فَتَلَا الْقُرآنَ وَدَعَا إِلَى الله وَرَغَّبَ فِى الإِسْلَامِ، وقَالَ: أُبَايعكُم عَلَى أَنْ تَمْنَعُونى مِمَّا تَمنَعونَ مِنْهُ نِسَاءكُم وأَبنَاءكُم، فَأَخذَ الْبَرَاءُ بن مَعْرورٍ بِيَدهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: نَعَم وَالَّذِى بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَنَمْنَعُكَ مِمَّا نَمْنَع مِنْهُ أُزُرَنَا، فَبَايَعْنَا رَسُولَ الله ﷺ فَنَحنُ وَالله أَهْلُ الْحُرُوبِ وَأَهْلُ الْحَلَقَةِ وَرثْنَاهَا كَابِرًا عَنْ كَابِرٍ، قَالَ: فَاعْتَرض القَوْم وَالبَراءُ يكَلم رسُولَ الله ﷺ أَبُو الهَيْثم بن التيهَان حَلِيف بَنِى عَبد الله الأشَهْل، وكَانَ أَوَّل مَنْ ضَرَب عَلَى يَد رسَول الله ﷺ الْبَراء بن مَعْرُور ثُمَّ تَبايَعَ الْقَوْمُ".  

"كُنْتُ غُلَامًا لِلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَكُنْتُ قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ وَأَسْلَمْت أُمُّ الْفَضْلِ، وَأَسْلَم الْعَبَّاسُ فَكَانَ يَكْتُمُ إِسْلَامَهُ مخَافَةَ قَوْمِهِ، وَكَانَ أَبُو لَهَبٍ قَدْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْ عن بَدْرٍ وبَعَثَ مَكَانَهُ الْعَاصِى بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَكَانَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ: اكْفنِى هَذَا الْغَزْوَ وَأَتْرُكُ لكَ مَا عَلَيْكَ، فَفَعَلَ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ الْخَبرُ وَكَبتَ الله -تَعَالَى- أَبَا لَهَبٍ وَكُنْتُ رَجُلًا ضَعِيفًا أَنْحَتُ هَذِهِ الأَقْدَاح في حُجْرَة "زمزم"، فَوَالله إِنِّى لَجَالِسٌ في الْحُجْرَةِ أَنْحَتُ أقداحى وَعِنْدِى أُمُّ الْفَضْلِ إِذَا الْفَاسِقُ أَبُو لَهَبٍ يَجُرُّ رجْلَيْهِ وَرَاءَهُ "أُراه" قَالَ: حَتَّى جَلَسَ عِنْد طُنْبِ الْحُجْرَةِ، فَكَانَ ظَهْرُهُ إِلَى ظهْرِى، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: هَذَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، فَقَالَ أَبُو لَهَبٍ: هَلُمَّ إِلَىَّ يَا بْنَ أَخِى، فَجَاءَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ حَتَّى جَلَسَ عِنْدَهُ، فَجَاءَ النَّاسُ فَقَامُوا عَلَيْهمَا فَقَالَ: يَا بْنَ أَخِى كَيْفَ أَمْرُ النَّاسِ؟ قَالَ: لَا شَىْءَ وَالله مَا هُوَ إِلَا أَنْ لَقِينَاهُمْ

فَمَنحْنَاهُمْ أَكتَافَنَا يقتلوننا كَيَفْ شَاءُوا، وَيَأسِرُونَنَا كَيْفَ شَاءُوا، "وايم" الله لَما "ما" لُمْتُ النَّاسَ، فَقَالَ: وَلِمَ؟ فَقَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رِجَالًا بِيضًا عَلَى خَيْلٍ بُلْقٍ، لَا وَالله ما يليق شَيْئًا وَلَا يَقُومُ إِلَى "لها" شَىْء، فَرَفَعْتُ طينَةَ "طنب" الْحُجْرَةِ، فَقُلْت: تلك وَالله الْمَلَائِكةُ، فَرَفَعَ أَبُو لَهَبٍ يَدَهُ فَلَطَمَ وَجْهِى، وثاورته فَاحْتَملَنِى فَضَرَبَ بِىَ الأَرْضَ حَتَّى بَرَكَ عَلَىَّ، فَقَامَتْ أُمُّ الْفَضْلِ "فاحتجزت" وَأَخَذَتْ عَمُودًا مِنْ عُمُدِ الْحُجْرَةِ فَضَرَبَتْهُ بِه فَفَلَقَتْ في رَأسِهِ شَجَّةً مُنْكَرَةً، وَقَالَتْ: أَىْ عَدُوَّ الله اسْتَضْعَفْتَهُ أَنْ رَأَيْتَ سَيِّدَهُ غَائِبًا عَنْهُ؟ فَقُلْت: ذليل "فقام ذَلَيلًا" فَوَالله مَا عَاشَ إِلَّا سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ حَتَّى ضَرَبَهُ الله -تَعَالَى- بِالَقَرْسَةِ "بالعرسة" فَقَتَلَتْهُ، فَلَقَدْ تَرَكهُ ابْنَاهُ لَيْلَتَيْن "يومين" أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً مَا يَدْفِنَاهُ حَتَّى أَنْتَنَ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ "لابنيه: ألا تستحييان أن أباكما قد أنتن في بيته؟ فقالا: إنا نخشى هذه القرحة وكانت قريش يَتَّقُونَ العدسة" كَما يتقى الطَّاعُونُ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: انْطَلِقَا فَأنَا مَعَكُمَا فَاغْسِلُوهُ، إِلَّا قد تَأَلَّمَا عليه من بعيد "فوالله ما غسلاه إلا قذفًا بالماء" مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، ثُمَّ احْتَمَلوُهُ فَقَذَفُوهُ في أَعْلَى مَكَّةَ إِلَى جِدَارٍ، وَقَذَفُوا عَلَيْهِ الْحِجَارَةَ".
