The Prophet ﷺ sent a Sariya of spies and appointed ʿAsim bin Thabit, the grandfather of ʿAsim bin ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab, as their leader. So they set out, and when they reached (a place) between 'Usfan and Mecca, they were mentioned to one of the branch tribes of Bani Hudhail called Lihyan. So, about one-hundred archers followed their traces till they (i.e. the archers) came to a journey station where they (i.e. ʿAsim and his companions) had encamped and found stones of dates they had brought as journey food from Medina. The archers said, "These are the dates of Medina," and followed their traces till they took them over. When ʿAsim and his companions were not able to go ahead, they went up a high place, and their pursuers encircled them and said, "You have a covenant and a promise that if you come down to us, we will not kill anyone of you." ʿAsim said, "As for me, I will never come down on the security of an infidel. O Allah! Inform Your Prophet about us." So they fought with them till they killed ʿAsim along with seven of his companions with arrows, and there remained Khubaib, Zaid and another man to whom they gave a promise and a covenant. So when the infidels gave them the covenant and promise, they came down. When they captured them, they opened the strings of their arrow bows and tied them with it. The third man who was with them said, "This is the first breach in the covenant," and refused to accompany them. They dragged him and tried to make him accompany them, but he refused, and they killed him. Then they proceeded on taking Khubaib and Zaid till they sold them in Mecca. The sons of Al-Harith bin ʿAmr bin Naufal bought Khubaib. It was Khubaib who had killed Al-Harith bin ʿAmr on the day of Badr. Khubaib stayed with them for a while as a captive till they decided unanimously to kill him. (At that time) Khubaib borrowed a razor from one of the daughters of Al- Harith to shave his pubic hair. She gave it to him. She said later on, "I was heedless of a little baby of mine, who moved towards Khubaib, and when it reached him, he put it on his thigh. When I saw it, I got scared so much that Khubaib noticed my distress while he was carrying the razor in his hand. He said 'Are you afraid that I will kill it? Allah willing, I will never do that,' " Later on she used to say, "I have never seen a captive better than Khubaib Once I saw him eating from a bunch of grapes although at that time no fruits were available at Mecca, and he was fettered with iron chains, and in fact, it was nothing but food bestowed upon him by Allah." So they took him out of the Sanctuary (of Mecca) to kill him. He said, "Allow me to offer a two-rakʿat prayer." Then he went to them and said, "Had I not been afraid that you would think I was afraid of death, I would have prayed for a longer time." So it was Khubaib who first set the tradition of praying two rakʿat before being executed. He then said, "O Allah! Count them one by one," and added, 'When I am being martyred as a Muslim, I do not care in what way I receive my death for Allah's Sake, because this death is in Allah's Cause. If He wishes, He will bless the cut limbs." Then ʿUqba bin Al-Harith got up and martyred him. The narrator added: The Quraish (infidels) sent some people to ʿAsim in order to bring a part of his body so that his death might be known for certain, for ʿAsim had killed one of their chiefs on the day of Badr. But Allah sent a cloud of wasps which protected his body from their messengers who could not harm his body consequently.

When it was the day on which the Battle of Badr was fought, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ cast a glance at the infidels, and they were one thousand while his own Companions were three hundred and nineteen. The Prophet ﷺ turned (his face) towards the Qibla. Then he stretched his hands and began his supplication to his Lord: "O Allah, accomplish for me what Thou hast promised to me. O Allah, bring about what Thou hast promised to me. O Allah, if this small band of Muslims is destroyed. Thou will not be worshipped on this earth." He continued his supplication to his Lord, stretching his hands, facing the Qibla, until his mantle slipped down from his shoulders. So Abu Bakr came to him, picked up his mantle and put it on his shoulders. Then he embraced him from behind and said: Prophet of Allah, this prayer of yours to your Lord will suffice you, and He will fulfill for you what He has promised you. So Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, revealed (the Qur'anic verse): "When ye appealed to your Lord for help, He responded to your call (saying): I will help you with one thousand angels coming in succession." So Allah helped him with angels. Abu Zumail said that the hadith was narrated to him by Ibn ʿAbbas who said: While on that day a Muslim was chasing a disbeliever who was going ahead of him, he heard over him the swishing of the whip and the voice of the rider saying: Go ahead, Haizum! He glanced at the polytheist who had (now) fallen down on his back. When he looked at him (carefully he found that) there was a scar on his nose and his face was torn as if it had been lashed with a whip, and had turned green with its poison. An Ansari came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and related this (event) to him. He said: You have told the truth. This was the help from the third heaven. The Muslims that day (i.e. the day of the Battle of Badr) killed seventy persons and captured seventy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Bakr and ʿUmar (Allah be pleased with them): What is your opinion about these captives? Abu Bakr said: They are our kith and kin. I think you should release them after getting from them a ransom. This will be a source of strength to us against the infidels. It is quite possible that Allah may guide them to Islam. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What is your opinion, Ibn Khattab? He said: Messenger of Allah, I do not hold the same opinion as Abu Bakr. I am of the opinion that you should hand them over to us so that we may cut off their heads. Hand over ʿAqil to ʿAli that he may cut off his head, and hand over such and such relative to me that I may cut off his head. They are leaders of the disbelievers and veterans among them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ approved the opinion of Abu Bakr and did not approve what I said. The next day when I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I found that both he and Abu Bakr were sitting shedding tears. I said: Messenger of Allah, why are you and your Companion shedding tears? Tell me the reason. For I will weep, or I will at least pretend to weep in sympathy with you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I weep for what has happened to your companions for taking ransom (from the prisoners). I was shown the torture to which they were subjected. It was brought to me as close as this tree. (He pointed to a tree close to him.) Then God revealed the verse: "It is not befitting for a prophet that he should take prisoners until the force of the disbelievers has been crushed..." to the end of the verse: "so eat ye the spoils of war, (it is) lawful and pure. So Allah made booty lawful for them."

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.

On the day of Badr, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at his companions and they were three hundred and some, then he looked at the mushrikeen and saw that they were one thousand or more. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ turned to face the qiblah, then he stretched forth his hands, wearing his upper and lower garment, and he said: “O Allah, where is Your promise to me? O Allah, accomplish for me what You have promised me! O Allah, if this small band of Muslims is destroyed, You will never be worshipped on earth.” He kept beseeching his Lord, calling out to Him, until his upper garment fell from his shoulders. Abu Bakr came to him, picked up his upper garment and put it on him. Then he embraced him from behind and said: O Prophet of Allah, this prayer of yours to your Lord will suffice, for He will accomplish for you what He has promised to you. Then Allah revealed the words: ʿ(Remember) when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying): ‘I will help you with a thousand of the angels each behind the other (following one another) in successionʿ [al Anfal 8:9). On that day when the armies met (in battle), Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, defeated the mushrikeen; seventy of their men were killed and seventy were taken captive. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ consulted Abu Bakr, 'Ali and 'Umar ؓ م (concerning the prisoners). Abu Bakr said: O Prophet of Allah, they are our cousins, kinsmen and brothers, I think that you should accept a ransom for them, which will strengthen us against the kuffar, and perhaps Allah will guide them to Islam and they will become a support to us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “What do you think, O son of al-Khattab?ʿ I said: No, by Allah. I do not think as Abu Bakr thinks. I think that you should hand. So and so ­ a relative of ʼUmar's- ­ over to me so that I may strike his neck. You should hand ‘Aqeel over to ‘Ali so that he may strike his neck, and you should hand over So and so to Hamzah (his brother) so that he may strike his neck, so that Allah will know that we have no mercy in our hearts towards the mushrikeen; these are their prominent figures and leaders. But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ inclined towards the view of Abu Bakr, and he did not incline towards what I said, and accepted ransoms from them. The next day, I came to the Prophet ﷺ and found him with Abu Bakr, and they were both weeping I said: O Messenger of Allah , tell me why you and your companion are weeping. If I find it is a cause for weeping, I will weep too, and is it is not, then I will make myself weep with you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿI am weeping because of what your companions suggested about accepting a ransom for the prisoners. I have been shown your punishment as close as this treeʿ ­ a tree that was close to the Prophet of Allah ﷺ Then Allah revealed the words:ʿIt is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allah desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allah is Almighty, All Wise. Were it not a previous ordainment from Allah, a severe torment would have touched you for what you took ʿ[al Anfal 8:67­-68] ­ i.e., referring to the ransom. Then booty was permitted to them, and when the day of Uhud came the following year, they were punished for what they had done of taking the ransom on the day of Badr. Seventy of them were killed and the Companions of the Prophet deserted him, his front tooth was broken and the helmet on his head was broken, and blood flowed down his face, and Allah revealed the words: “When a single disaster smites you, although you smote (your enemies) with one twice as great, you say: 'From where does this come to us?ʿSay (to them), ‘It is from yourselves (because of your evil deeds).' And Allah has power over all things” [Al 'Imran 3:165]

[Machine] He said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Antichrist will emerge during a period of confusion in religion and ignorance in knowledge. He will have forty nights that are equivalent to one year, one night equivalent to a month, and one night equivalent to a week. The rest of his days will be like your days. He will have a donkey on which he will ride, its ear to its ear measuring forty cubits. He will say to the people, 'I am your Lord,' even though he is blind in one eye. Indeed, your Lord is not one-eyed, and it is written between his eyes that he is a disbeliever (Kafir). Every believer will read it, literate or illiterate. There will not be any water or well left except for the cities of Madinah and Makkah, which Allah has made forbidden for him. The angels will stand guarding their gates, and with him will be mountains of bread. The people will be in great distress, except those who follow him. With him, there will be two rivers. I know which is Paradise and which is Hell. Whoever is entered into the one named Paradise will actually be in Hell, and whoever is entered into the one named Hell will actually be in Paradise." He said, "Allah will send devils with him, who will speak to the people. With him, there will be a great trial. He will command the sky, and it will rain upon the people, and he will kill a person, then bring him back to life before the people's eyes. He will not have control over any people other than his own. He will say, 'O people, why don't you come out to the deceitful liar?' They will say, 'This is a genie man,' and they will set out towards him. Suddenly, they will find themselves with Jesus, the son of Mary. The prayer will be established, and it will be said to him, 'Come forward, O Spirit of Allah.' He will reply, 'Let your Imam come forward and lead you in prayer.' After performing the morning prayer, they will go towards the Antichrist. When the Antichrist sees Jesus, he will start melting like salt in water, and he will try to flee from him. Jesus will pursue and kill him until even a tree or a stone will call out, 'O Spirit of Allah, here is a Jew hiding behind me, so come and kill him.'"

[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] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spent ten years following the pilgrims in their dwellings during the pilgrimage season, at Majannah, at 'Ukaz, and in their dwellings in Mina. He would say, "Who will give me shelter? Who will assist me until I deliver the messages of my Lord, and paradise will be theirs?" He did not find anyone who would assist and shelter him. Even when a man would leave Muzdalifah or Yemen and come to their people, they would say, "Beware of the youth from Quraysh, he will lead you astray," while he walked among them and called them to Allah, pointing at them with his fingers. Until Allah sent us to him from Yathrib, a man came to him and believed in him, and he recited the Quran to him, then he returned to his family and they accepted Islam. Soon, there was no house in the dwellings of Yathrib except that it had a group of Muslims who openly displayed Islam. Then Allah completed His favor upon us, and we gathered together, seventy men from our community, and we said, "How long will the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be expelled in the mountains of Makkah and live in fear?" So we set out until we reached him during the pilgrimage season, and we made an appointment with the people of Aqabah. His uncle, Al-Abbas, said to him, "O nephew, I do not know who these people are who have come to you. I am familiar with the people of Yathrib, so we gathered with them, one man and two men. When Al-Abbas saw our faces, he said, 'These are unknown people, they are young.' We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, why should we swear allegiance to you?' He said, 'Swear allegiance to me on hearing and obeying, in times of both energy and laziness, in easy and difficult times, in promoting what is good and forbidding what is evil, and in defending me if I come to Yathrib, even if it means denying yourselves, your wives, and your children. Paradise will be yours.' So we gave him our pledge, and As'ad bin Zurarah, who was the youngest of the seventy, took his hand and said, 'By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, remove your hand from us. We will not abandon this pledge, nor will we revoke it.' So we went to him one by one, and each of us pledged allegiance to him on the terms of al-Abbas, and in return, he bestowed paradise upon us."

Rasūlullāh ﷺ mentioned: "... when Allah ﷻ revealed to ʿĪsá b. Maryam: 'I have already released servants from My servants (Yaʾjūj Maʾjūj) who you will not be able to fight, so take My salves for refuge to ˹mount˺ Ṭūr'. Then Allah ﷻ will send forth Yaʾjūj Maʾjūj, and they, as Allah ﷻ said: '...from every slope they will descend.' (Anbiyāʾ 21:96). Then ʿĪsá and his companions will implore Allah ﷻ, then He will send insects toward their necks, and they will turn into predator-prey (farsā) ˹and die˺ like the death of one person. ThenʿĪsá and his companions will get down ˹from mount Ṭur˺ and they will not find a place to stay on land except that it has been filled with a foul stench of their ˹rotting corpses˺. Then ʿĪsá and his companions will implore Allah ﷻ ˹again˺, then He will send forth birds with necks like thereof Bactrian camels (vultures?), and they will carry their ˹corpses˺ and throw them where Allah ﷻ wills." Ibn Jābir said, then Yazīd b. ʿAṭāʾ al-Saksakī narrated to me, from Kaʿb or other than him who said: "then they threw them in the ditch (abyss)". Ibn Jābir said: then I said, O Abū Zayd, and where is the ditch? He said: "Eastwardly..."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , sent a reconnaissance mission and appointed 'Asim ibn Thabit, who was the grandfather of 'Asim ibn 'Umar, as their leader. They set out until they reached a place between 'Usfan and Makkah known as "Bani Lihyan". They followed their tracks with a group of about one hundred men led by Ramm, and they pursued them until they reached a resting place where they found dates that were provisions from Madinah. They said, "These are dates from Yathrib." They followed their tracks until they caught up with them. When 'Asim ibn Thabit and his companions sensed them, they sought refuge in a rugged place, and when the people approached them, they surrounded them and said, "We have made a covenant and agreement with you that if you come to us, we will not kill any of you." 'Asim ibn Thabit said, "As for me, I do not enter into a treaty with a disbeliever." They said, "Fight them." So they fought 'Asim and killed him along with seven others. Only Hubayb ibn 'Adi and Zayd ibn ad-Dathinah remained. They entered into a covenant and agreement with them. When they felt secure from them, they tied their hands with their own bowstrings. The third man with them said, "This is the first act of treachery. I refuse to accompany them." So they killed him. Then they departed with Hubayb ibn 'Adi and Zayd ibn ad-Dathinah until they sold them in Makkah. They sold Hubayb to the sons of Al-Harith ibn 'Amir ibn Nawfal, who had killed Al-Harith on the Day of Badr. Hubayb stayed with them as a prisoner until they decided to kill him. He borrowed a razor from the daughter of Al-Harith to prepare himself with it. She said, "I inadvertently failed to restrain my son from approaching it, and he fell upon it until it reached him." She said, "Have no fear that I will kill him. I wouldn't kill him. You will not find a better captive than Hubayb. I saw him eating ripe grapes when Makkah had no ripe fruits at that time. And he is bound in iron, but his sustenance is only provided by Allah." Then they took him out of the sanctuary to kill him. He asked them, "Allow me to pray two Rak'ahs." He prayed the two Rak'ahs, and then said, "If you did not see my eagerness to die, I would increase in it by the Will of Allah." Hubayb was the first to offer two Rak'ahs before being killed. Then 'Uqbah ibn Al-Harith went toward him and killed him. The people of Quraysh sent word to 'Asim to bring them a part of his body that they could recognize. He was a great man among their elite who had been killed on the Day of Badr. So Allah sent upon them a cloud from behind, shielding them from his messengers. They were unable to harm him in any way.

[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] 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.'"

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

[Machine] "And about some of the companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, it is narrated: When the angels came out from Ibrahim, peace be upon him, towards the city of Lut and reached the river of Sodom, they met the daughter of Lut, who was fetching water for her family. Lut's daughters were two in number. They said to her, 'O girl, is there any house nearby? She replied, 'Yes, your place is not far, but do not enter until I bring you what you need.' Then she went to her father and said, 'O my father, there are young men standing at the gate of the city. I have never seen such beautiful faces before. Your people should not see them, as they may harm them. Your people have been forbidden from hosting anyone until they said, 'Give us your guests so that we can harass them.' Nobody here, except the household of Lut, knows where they are. His wife went out and informed her people, saying, 'Indeed, there are men inside Lut's house whose faces I have never seen before.' So, Lut's people hurried towards him. When they came to him, he said, 'O my people, fear Allah and do not disgrace me concerning my guests. Is there not among you a single reasonable man? These are my daughters, they are purer for you. So, fear Allah and do not humiliate me in front of my guests.' They said, 'You know that we have no right in your daughters, and indeed, you know what we want.' When they failed to persuade him, he said, 'If only I had power against you or could take refuge in a strong support.' Then Jibril extended his wings, covering the sight of their eyes, and they went out stumbling, unable to see one another. They were saying, 'This is their plan. Verily, in the house of Lut, there is magic.' This is the saying of Allah, the Almighty, 'And indeed, they sought to tempt him away from his guests, but We blinded their eyes.' And they said, 'O Lut, indeed, we are messengers of your Lord. They will never reach you, so travel with your family in the cover of the night, and let not any among you look back except your wife. Indeed, she will be struck by what strikes them. So, proceed as you are commanded.' Then Allah led them to safety towards the land of Shaam. Lut said, 'Destroying them will take only a moment.' They replied, 'We have not been commanded to destroy them except at the break of dawn. Is not the morning near?' When morning came, Lut and his family left, except for his wife. This is the saying of Allah, the Almighty, 'Except the family of Lut; We will save them all, except his wife, who will be among those who remain.'  

وَعَنْ أُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَرْفُوعًا قَالَ لَمَّا خَرَجَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ مِنْ عِنْدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ نَحْوَ قَرْيَةِ لُوطٍ وَأَتَوْهَا نِصْفَ النَّهَارِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغُوا نَهَرَ سَدُومٍ لَقَوُا ابْنَةَ لُوطٍ تَسْتَقِي مِنَ الْمَاءِ لِأَهْلِهَا وَكَانَ لَهُ ابْنَتَانِ فَقَالُوا لَهَا يَا جَارِيَةُ هَلْ مِنْ مَنْزِلٍ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ مَكَانَكُمْ لَا تَدْخُلُوا حَتَّى آتِيَكُمْ فَأَتَتْ أَبَاهَا فَقَالَتْ يَا أَبَتَاهُ أَدْرِكْ فِتْيَانًا عَلَى بَابِ الْمَدِينَةِ مَا رَأَيْتُ وُجُوهَ قَوْمٍ هِيَ أَحْسَنُ مِنْهُمْ لَا يَأْخُذُهُمْ قَوْمُكَ فَيَفْضَحُوهُمْ وَقَدْ كَانَ قَوْمُهُ نَهَوْهُ أَنْ يُضِيفَ رَجُلًا حَتَّى قَالُوا حَلَّ عَلَيْنَا فَلْيُضَيِّفِ الرِّجَالَ فَجَاءَهُمْ وَلَمْ يُعْلِمْ أَحَدًا إِلَّا بَيْتَ أَهْلِ لُوطٍ فَخَرَجَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ فَأَخْبَرَتْ قَوْمَهُ قَالَتْ إِنَّ فِي بَيْتِ لُوطٍ رِجَالًا مَا رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ وُجُوهِهِمْ قَطُّ فَجَاءَهُ قَوْمُهُ يُهْرَعُونَ إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا أَتَوْهُ قَالَ لَهُمْ لُوطٌ «يَا قَوْمِ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُخْزُونِ فِي ضَيْفِي أَلَيْسَ مِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ رُشَيْدٌ هَؤُلَاءِ بَنَاتِي هُنَّ أَطْهُرُ لَكُمْ مِمَّا تُرِيدُونَ» قَالُوا لَهُ أَوَ لَمْ نَنْهَكَ إِنْ تُضَيِّفَ الرِّجَالَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ مَا لَنَا فِي بَنَاتِكَ مِنْ حَقٍّ وَإِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ مَا نُرِيدُ فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَقْبَلُوا مِنْهُ مَا عَرَضَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ «لَوْ أَنَّ لِيَ بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ آوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ» يَقُولُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ «لَوْ أَنَّ لِي أَنْصَارًا يَنْصُرُونِي عَلَيْكُمْ أَوْ عَشِيرَةً تَمْنَعُنِي مِنْكُمْ لَحَالَتْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ مَا جِئْتُمْ تُرِيدُونَهُ مِنْ أَضْيَافِي» وَلَمَّا قَالَ لُوطٌ لَوْ أَنَّ لِيَ بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ آوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ بَسَطَ حِينَئِذٍ جِبْرِيلُ جَنَاحَيْهِ فَفَقَأَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ وَخَرَجُوا يَدُوسُ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي آثَارِ بَعْضٍ عُمْيَانًا يَقُولُونَ النَّجَا النَّجَا فَإِنَّ فِي بَيْتِ لُوطٍ أَسْحَرَ قَوْمٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ ﷻ {وَلَقَدْ رَاوَدُوهُ عَنْ ضَيْفِهِ فَطَمَسْنَا أَعْيُنَهُمْ} [القمر 37] وَقَالُوا يَا لُوطُ إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَنْ يَصِلُوا إِلَيْكَ فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطِعٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا امْرَأَتُكَ فَاتَّبِعْ آثَارَ أَهْلِكَ يَقُولُ «وَامْضُوا حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُونَ فَأَخْرَجَهُمُ اللَّهُ إِلَى الشَّامِ» وَقَالَ لُوطٌ أَهْلِكُوهُمُ السَّاعَةَ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا لَمْ نُؤْمَرْ إِلَّا بِالصُّبْحِ أَلَيْسَ الصُّبْحُ بِقَرِيبٍ فَلَمَّا أَنْ كَانَ السَّحَرُ خَرَجَ لُوطٌ وَأَهْلُهُ عَدَا امْرَأَتِهِ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ ﷻ {إِلَّا آلَ لُوطٍ نَجَّيْنَاهُمْ بِسَحَرٍ} [القمر 34]  

[Machine] Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ spent ten years following people in their homes during the season of Manazil, Muzdalifah, and 'Ukaz. He would ask, "Who will shelter me? Who will support me until I convey the messages of my Lord, and for him is Paradise?" Yet, he would find no one to support him or shelter him. And there would be a man who would leave from Egypt or Yemen to bring him back to his people, and they would warn him, "Beware of the young Quraishi boy who will tempt you." He would walk among their tents, calling them to Allah Almighty, and they would point at him with their fingers. Then Allah sent us from Yathrib (Medina), and the man from among us would meet him, believe in him, and teach him the Quran. He would then return to his people, and they would embrace Islam until there was not a single house among the houses of the Ansar without Muslims in it. We sent a message to Allah, and He allowed us to gather and meet. We said, "How long will the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be expelled in the mountains of Makkah and live in fear?" So we set out until we reached him in Muzdalifah during the pilgrimage season. We made an agreement with him at 'Aqabah, and his uncle, al-'Abbas, said to him, "O son of my brother, I do not know who these people who have come to you are. I have knowledge of the people of Yathrib, so we gathered with a man, and when al-'Abbas looked at our faces, he said, 'These are people we do not know. They are young men.' So we said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do we pledge allegiance to you on?' He said, 'Pledge allegiance to me on hearing and obeying, in times of energy and times of laziness, on spending in times of ease and times of hardship, on commanding good and forbidding evil, and on not blaming us for what we do in the name of Allah. Pledge allegiance to me on supporting me when I come to you, and withholding from what you withhold from yourselves, your wives, and your children. And for you is Paradise.' So we pledged allegiance to him, and Sa'd bin Zurarah, the youngest among the seventy, took his hand and said, 'O people of Yathrib, none of us withholds his hand from this pledge, and we will never quit it.' So we went to him, each man one by one, and he took our pledge to grant us Paradise."

[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] From the hadith of Amr al-Hadrami, from the people of Homs, from Abu Umamah al-Bahili, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon to us one day, and the majority of his sermon was about mentioning the Dajjal. He informed us about him in detail until he finished his sermon. Then, on that day, he said: "Indeed, Allah the Exalted has not sent a prophet except that he warned his nation about the Dajjal. And I am the last of the prophets, and you are the last of the nations. Surely, he is among you, there is no doubt. If he appears while I am among you, then I am the guardian of every Muslim. And if he appears among you after me, then every individual is the guardian of themselves. And Allah is my Khalifah (Caliph) over every Muslim. He will emerge from the land situated between Iraq and Sham (Greater Syria), and will roam through the east and west. O servants of Allah, be steadfast. He will start by claiming to be a prophet, even though there is no prophet after me. Then, he will claim to be your Lord, even though you have not seen your Lord until you die. And it is written between his eyes that he is a disbeliever, and every believer will be able to read it. So, whoever among you meets him should recite the opening verses of Surat Al-Kahf (Chapter of the Cave) against him. He will have control over one soul from the descendants of Adam, and he will kill it and then bring it back to life. And he will not have control over another soul besides that. He will bring with him Paradise and Hell as part of his fitnah (trial), but his Paradise will be Hell, and his Hell will be Paradise. So, whoever is afflicted with his Hellfire, let him close his eyes and seek refuge with Allah, for it will become cool and peaceful for him, just as fire was cool and peaceful for Ibrahim (Abraham), peace be upon him. And whoever meets him while believing in him and affirming his truthfulness, then let him seek rain from him. For Allah will cause the sky to rain upon them from their own day, and the Earth will bring forth for them from its own day, and their livestock will return to them fully satisfied from their own day. It will be their greatest and fattest day. But whoever meets him while disbelieving in him and rejecting him, then let him seek dryness from him. For he will not have a single drop of rain to give, and he will curse them, so that they will not have a rider or a passenger, and his days will be forty days. One of his days will be like a year, one day will be like a month, one day will be like a week, and the rest of his days will be like ordinary days." Then he (the Prophet, ﷺ) said, "A man will be at the door of Al-Madinah, and he will reach the other end of the city before evening comes." They asked, "How should we pray, O Messenger of Allah, in those short days?" He said, "Estimate the time (according to the length of the day) and then pray as you would in the longer days."

[Machine] Abu Al-Tahir and Abu Al-Rabi' Al-Masri narrated to me that Abdullah ibn Wahb informed them that Abdur Rahman ibn Shuraih narrated from Rabi'ah ibn Saif Al Ma'afiri, who heard it from Ishaq ibn Abdullah, that Awf ibn Malik Al-Ashja'i visited the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم during a victorious battle. He greeted the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and said, "Congratulations, O Messenger of Allah. Allah has honored your victory, made your religion manifest, and caused the burden of war to be lifted with ease." The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم was in a dome made of adobe bricks, and he said, "Enter, O Awf." Awf asked, "Shall I enter wholly or partially?" The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Enter wholly." Awf said, "Indeed, the burdens of war will not be lifted until there come six events, the first of which will be my death." Awf wept, and the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Say 'one' and [then] 'two.' The first is the conquest of Jerusalem, the second is a trial that will occur among the people, like the scattering of sheep. The fourth is a trial that will occur among the people, where no household will remain except that their share of it will come to them. The fifth is the birth of a boy from the offspring of the kings who will grow rapidly, reaching maturity in a day like how an infant grows in a week, and how an infant grows in a month, and how an infant grows in a year. When he turns twelve, they will make him their king. He will stand among them and say, 'For how long will these people continue to oppress us and invade our lands?' I have resolved to go forth and drive them out from our lands." The preachers then stood up and expressed their agreement with him. He then sent to Algeria and the desert to construct ships, and he filled them with fighters until he arrived between Antioch and Al Arish. Ibn Shuraih said, "I heard someone say that there will be twelve goals under each goal there will be twelve thousand, and the Muslims will unite and gather with their leader in Jerusalem. They agreed to march to the city of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم while carrying their weapons in Sarih and Khaybar. Ibn Abi Ja'far said that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, 'They will drive my Ummah out of the boundaries of Sham.' Or Al-Harith ibn Yazid said, 'They will settle there, and then one third of them will flee, one third of them will be killed, and Allah Almighty will make the remaining one third victorious through their patience.' Khalid ibn Yazid said, 'On that day, he will strike with his sword, and he will pierce them with his spear, and the Muslims will follow him until they reach the Strait of Constantinople. They will find it dry, so they will cross over to the city. Allah will demolish their walls through the takbir, and they will enter it and distribute their wealth through the ammaded chests.' Abu Qabil Al-Ma'afiri said, 'As they were doing that, a rider came to them and said, "You are here, but the Dajjal has already deceived your families." This was, in fact, falsehood. Whoever heard the scholars concerning this matter took the right path, but others scattered. Meanwhile, the Muslims started building mosques in Constantinople and continued fighting until the Dajjal emerged for the sixth time.

[Machine] He is called "Dhu al-'Arf" and he gathers a great assembly from the tribes of polytheists. People in Al-Andalus know that they are powerless, so the people of strength flee from the Muslims in ships and sail to Tangier. The weak remain with their group, as they have no ships to sail on. Then Allah sends a sign and a whale appears in the sea, with its back visible above the water. People see it and say, "Follow the whale, follow the whale." So the people follow its trail, and then the sea returns to its normal state. The enemy then crosses in their boats. When the people of Africa realize this, they all flee from Africa, including those who were in Al-Andalus from the Muslims, until they reach Fustat. The enemy advances, and they descend between Mariut and the Pyramids, a journey of five days, and they fill that area with evil. The flag of the Muslims appears on the bridge, and Allah grants them victory over them. They defeat and kill them until Ululba is reached, a journey of ten nights. The people of Fustat become frightened and quickly retreat, taking their possessions and supplies for seven years. Dhu al-'Arf manages to escape from being killed, and he has a book that is only looked at when he is defeated. It mentions Islam and that one should enter into peace agreements. He asks for safety for himself and for those who respond to him by embracing Islam, including his companions who joined him. So he embraces Islam and becomes one of the Muslims. Then in the second year, a man from Abyssinia named "Asis" appears, having gathered a great army. The Muslims flee from them from Aswan until there is no one left in it, nor in any place close to it, except in Fustat. Asis descends with his army, coming to Fustat while he is at the head of a group from there. The flag of the Muslims appears on the bridge, and Allah grants them victory over them. They kill and capture them until Aswad is sold with a cloak.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Mecca for seven years, following the people to their homes in Okaz, Majannah, and the seasons in Mina. He would say, "Who will provide shelter and support me until I convey the messages of my Lord?" Even the people from Yemen or Egypt would come to him, and their clans would warn them, saying, "Beware of the boy from Quraysh who may deceive you." He would walk among them as they pointed at him with their fingers. Then Allah sent support from Yathrib and we provided him refuge and believed in him. The man would leave us, and upon returning to his people he would deliver Islam to them, and they would embrace it until there was no house left in the houses of the Ansar without some Muslims living in it, openly practicing Islam. Then we gathered and said, "How long will we let the Prophet ﷺ be expelled and live in fear in the mountains of Mecca?" So seventy of us set out until we reached him during the pilgrimage season, and we pledged allegiance to him at Al-Aqaba. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, for what reason should we pledge allegiance to you?" He said, "Pledge allegiance to me to listen and obey in times of energy or laziness, hardship or ease, to spend in times of difficulty or abundance, to enjoy what is good and forbid what is evil, and to not care about the blame of the blamers, and to support and protect me just as you would protect yourselves, your wives, and your children, and Paradise will be yours." So we stood up and pledged allegiance to him. Sa'd ibn Zurarah, the youngest among us, held his hand and said, "O people of Yathrib, we have not even struck the backs of camels unless we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah, and that his expulsion today is a dispute for all the Arabs, and the killing of your best men, and the swords are about to reach you. So either you endure that and your reward will be with Allah, or you fear for yourselves and show your weakness. Clarify your choice, for it is easier for you." They said, "Remove this doubt, for by Allah, we will never abandon this pledge." So we pledged allegiance to him, and he placed conditions for us to be given Paradise in return.  

مَكَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ سَبْعَ * سِنِينَ يَتَتَبَّعُ النَّاسَ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ بِعُكَاظَ وَمَجَنَّةَ وَالْمَوَاسِمِ بِمِنًى يَقُولُ «مَنْ يُؤْوِينِي وَيَنْصُرَنِي حَتَّى أُبَلِّغَ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي؟ » حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لِيَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ أَوْ مِنْ مِصْرَ فَيَأْتِيهُ قَوْمُهُ فَيَقُولُونَ احْذَرْ غُلَامَ قُرَيْشٍ لَا يَفْتِنُكَ وَيَمْشِي بَيْنَ رِحَالِهِمْ وَهُمْ يُشِيرُونَ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ حَتَّى بَعَثَنَا اللَّهُ مِنْ يَثْرِبَ فَآوَيْنَاهُ وَصَدَّقْنَاهُ فَيَخْرُجُ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا وَيُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَيُقْرِئُهُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَيُسْلِمُونَ بِإِسْلَامِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ دَارٌ مِنْ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَّا فِيهَا رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يُظْهِرُونَ الْإِسْلَامَ ثُمَّ إِنَّا اجْتَمَعْنَا فَقُلْنَا حَتَّى مَتَى نَتْرُكُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُطْرَدُ فِي جِبَالِ مَكَّةَ وَيَخَافُ؟ ‍ فَرَحَلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا حَتَّى قَدِمُوا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ فَوَاعَدْنَاهُ بَيْعَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ فَاجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَهَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَرَجُلَيْنِ حَتَّى تَوَافَيْنَا فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَامَ نُبَايِعُكَ؟ قَالَ «تُبَايعُونِي عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ فِي النَّشَاطِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالنَّفَقَةِ فِي الْعُسْرِ وَالْيُسْرِ وَعَلَى الْأَمْرِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَأَنْ يَقُولَهَا لَا يُبَالِي فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ وَعَلَى أَنْ تَنْصُرُونِيَ وَتَمْنَعُونِي إِذَا قَدِمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِمَّا تَمْنَعُونَ مِنْهُ أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجَكُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَلَكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ» فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ أَسْعَدُ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ وَهُوَ مِنْ أَصْغَرِهِمْ فَقَالَ رُوَيْدًا يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ فَإِنَّا لَمْ نَضْرِبْ أَكْبَادَ الْإِبِلِ إِلَّا وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَّ إِخْرَاجَهُ الْيَوْمَ مُنَازَعَةُ الْعَرَبِ كَافَّةً وَقَتْلُ خِيَارِكُمْ وَأَنْ تَعَضَّكُمُ السُّيُوفُ فَإِمَّا أَنْ تَصْبِرُوا عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَأَجْرُكُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَإِمَّا أَنْتُمْ تَخَافُونَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ جُبْنًا فَبَيِّنُوا ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ أَعْذَرُ لَكُمْ فَقَالُوا أَمِطْ عَنَّا فَوَاللَّهِ لَا نَدَعُ هَذِهِ الْبَيْعَةَ أَبَدًا فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ فَأَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا وَشَرَطَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَنَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْجَنَّةَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ stayed for ten years, tracing people in their homes during the season, in Muhjanah, 'Ukaz, and in their homes in Mina. He would say, 'Who will shelter me and support me until I deliver the messages of my Lord, and Paradise will be his?' But he ﷺ did not find anyone to support or shelter him until a man would leave Egypt or Yemen and his people would come to him and say, 'Beware of the Quraysh boy who walks among their caravans, inviting them to Allah.' They would point him out until Allah sent to him someone from Yathrib (Madina). The man would come to him, believe in him, and recite the Qur'an to him. Then he would return to his people, and they would embrace Islam until there was not a single house in Yathrib without a group of Muslims openly practicing Islam. They (the Muslims) consulted with each other and said, 'How long will the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be expelled and in fear in the mountains of Makkah?' So we set off until we reached him during the season. The people of 'Aqabah promised him and 'Abbas, his uncle, addressed the people of Yathrib, saying, 'O people of Yathrib, we gathered with him by a man and two men. When he looked at our faces, he said, 'These are people I don't know, they are young people.' We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you want us to pledge allegiance to you upon?' He said, 'Pledge allegiance to me upon hearing and obeying, in times of ease and difficulty, in matters of expenditure and hardship, and in commanding good and forbidding evil. And that you do not reproach me about Allah if you are not pleased with something, and that you support me when I come to you, denying me what you deny yourselves, your wives, and your children. Paradise will be yours.' So we pledged allegiance to him, and he took the hand of As'ad bin Zurarah, who was the youngest of the seventy except me. He said, 'O people of Yathrib, we never struck the liver of any animal except that we knew he was the Messenger of Allah, and his expulsion today is the separation of all the Arab tribes, and the killing of your best men. If you wish, you bear this burden and the reward will be with Allah, and if you fear for your own selves, leave him alone, for he is the most deserving to be excused before Allah.' They said, 'O As'ad, remove your hand from us. By Allah, we will not abandon this pledge nor break it.' So a man stood up and took the hand of 'Abbas, and guaranteed its fulfillment with Paradise.

“I supplicate Allah to bring you and I together in the marketplace of Paradise,” Sa’eed said: “Is there a marketplace there?” He said: “Yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told me that when the people of Paradise enter it, they will take their places according to their deeds, and they will be given permission for a length of time equivalent to Friday on earth, when they will visit Allah. His Throne will be shown to them and He will appear to them in one of the gardens of Paradise. Chairs of light and chairs of pearls and chairs of rubies and chairs of chrysolite and chairs of gold and chairs of silver will be placed for them. Those who are of a lower status than them, and none of them will be regarded as insignificant, will sit on sandhills of musk and camphor, and they will not feel that those who are sitting on chairs are seated better than them.” Abu Hurairah said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord?’ He said: ‘Yes. Do you dispute that you see the sun and the moon on the night when it is full?’ We said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Likewise, you will not dispute that you see your Lord, the Glorified. There will be no one left in that gathering with whom Allah does not speak face to face, until He will say to a man among you: “Do you not remember, O so-and-so, the day you did such and such?” And He will remind him of some of his sins in this world. He will say: “O Lord, have You not forgiven me?” He will say: “Yes, it is by the vastness of My forgiveness that You have reached the position you are in.” While they are like that, a cloud will cover them from above and will rain down on them perfume the like of whose fragrance they have never smelled before. Then He will say: “Get up and go to the honor that has been prepared for you, and take whatever you desire.” So we will go to a marketplace surrounded by the angels, in which there will be such things as eyes have never seen, ears have never heard and it has not entered the heart of man. Whatever we desire will be carried for us. Nothing will be bought or sold therein. In that marketplace the people of Paradise will meet one another. A man of elevated status will meet those who are of lower status than him, but none shall be regarded as insignificant, and he will be dazzled by the clothes that he sees on him. He will not finish the last of his conversation before better clothes appear on him. That is because no one should be sad there.’” “He said: ‘Then we will go back to our homes where we will be met by our wives, and they will say: ‘Welcome. You have come looking more handsome and with a better fragrance than when you left us.’ And we will say: ‘Today we sat with our Lord, the Compeller, the Glorified, and we deserve to come back as we have come back.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4336)

[Machine] Amr Al-Shabi narrated to me, Fatimah bint Qais said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one day and prayed the prayer of migration, then he sat down and the people were startled. He said, "O people, I did not leave my place out of fear, but Tamim Al-Dari came to me and told me news that prevented me from taking a nap with joy and ease. So I wanted to give you the good news of your Prophet. He informed me that a group of his relatives from the Banu 'Amir rode the sea and a storm struck them, so they took refuge on an island. They sat near a ship until they boarded the island, and suddenly they saw a creature with a lot of hair, they did not know whether it was a man or a woman. They greeted him and he responded. They said, 'Will you not tell us who you are?' He replied, 'I am not informing you nor am I interrogating you, but there is someone in this monastery who is eager to inform you and to interrogate you.' They asked, 'And who are you?' He said, 'I am the spy.' So they set out until they reached the monastery, and they found a man who was tightly bound in iron chains, looking very sad and complaining a lot. They greeted him and he responded. They asked, 'Who are you?' He said, 'I am from the Arabs.' They asked, 'What did the Arabs do to their Prophet after he was expelled?' They said, 'They believed in him, followed him, and confirmed him.' He said, 'That is good for them.' They asked, 'Did he have any enemies?' He said, 'Yes, and Allah supported him over them.' They asked, 'Do the Arabs have one God?' He said, 'Yes.' They asked, 'Do they have one word?' He said, 'Yes.' They asked, 'Do they have one religion?' He said, 'Yes.' They asked, 'What did 'Uyaynah bin Hisn do?' They said, 'He distributed the water of the wells to his people, and they watered their crops with it.' They asked, 'What did the palm tree between 'Umman and Bayssan do?' They said, 'It provides shade for its branches every year.' They asked, 'What did Lake Tabariyyah do?' They said, 'It is full.' He exclaimed, 'Then he sighed twice and said, 'By Allah, if I were to go out of my place here, I would not leave any land of Allah's except that I would tread it, except for Taibah, for it is not mine to tread on. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, this is one of the things that make me happy.' He said that three times. Indeed, Taibah is Al-Madinah. Then Allah has made it forbidden for the Dajjal. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ swore, 'By Allah, who there is no god but He, there is no narrow path or wide valley for it, nor any mountain, except that it has an angel standing with a drawn sword until the Day of Resurrection. The Dajjal cannot enter it with its people.' Al-Shabi said, 'So I met Al-Muharrar ibn Abi Hurairah and I narrated to him the Hadith of Fatimah, and he said, 'I bear witness that my father narrated to me as Fatimah narrated to you, except that he said, 'It is in the east.' Then I met Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad and he said, 'I bear witness that 'A'ishah narrated to me as Fatimah narrated to you, except that she said, 'The two sanctuaries are Haram for it: Makkah and Al-Madinah.' And the wording of the Hadith is according to the Hadith of Yahya bin Sa'id and the others similar to it.

[Machine] One of us said to his companion, "Let us go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and ask him about the solar eclipse and its significance for his Ummah." So we went to the mosque, and it was crowded with people. We coincided with the Prophet ﷺ coming out and leading the people in prayer, while we prayed after him. He stood for a long time, longer than any prayer we had ever witnessed from him. Then he prostrated for a long time, longer than any prostration we had ever witnessed from him. Then he repeated the same in the second unit of the prayer. And it coincided with the sun becoming clear again. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then finished the prayer, praised and glorified Allah, testified that there is no god but Allah, and that he is His servant and Messenger. Then he said, "O people, I am a human being, a Messenger. I remind you of Allah, if you know that I have omitted anything from conveying the messages of my Lord to you, have I conveyed the messages of my Lord as they should be conveyed?" They said, "We bear witness that you have conveyed the messages of your Lord and given sincere advice to your Ummah, and fulfilled what was required of you." Then he said, "Now, some people claim that the eclipse of the sun and moon or the disappearance of the stars from their positions are signs of the death of great men on earth. But they are lying. Rather, these are signs from the signs of Allah, by which He warns His servants, so that those among them who seek repentance may repent. I have seen this while standing in my place of prayer, which you cannot reach in your worldly and hereafter lives. The Hour will not be established until thirty liars appear, the last of whom is the one-eyed Dajjal. He will have the mark of the eye of Abu Tayyibah, a blind man from the Ansar, between his eyes and Aisha's room. The believers will be confined in the Sacred House and will be severely pressed, and they will be displaced greatly." Al-Aswad bin Qays said, "I thought he meant that Isa ibn Maryam ﷺ would emerge among them and Allah would defeat him and his army. Even if the wall adjoins a stump or the branch of a tree, it will say to the believer, 'This is a disbeliever who has concealed himself behind me, so come and kill him.' But it will not be as you think until you see things happening among you that will cause disputes and you will say to each other, 'Did your Prophet mention anything about this?' And even the mountains will move from their positions, and then comes the time of taking away." Ibn al-Mubarik said, "Meaning death."

[Machine] Narrated by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : While I was with a young boy from the Ansar, we were throwing pebbles at a target during the time of the Prophet ﷺ . Suddenly, the sun rose and a black spear or two spears from the horizon covered it until it illuminated as if it were a lantern. One of us said to his companion, "Let us go to the Prophet's ﷺ mosque, and by Allah, he will tell him about this today, and he will inform his nation about it." So, we went to the mosque and met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he came out to the people. He led us in prayer, and it was the longest prayer we had ever witnessed from him. Then, he made a prolonged bow, the longest we had ever seen from him in prayer. Then, he prostrated for a long time, the longest we had ever seen from him in prayer. After that, he stood up and prayed another rak'ah just like the first one. Then, he sat down, and the brightness of the sun disappeared. He greeted us and left, praising Allah and mentioning Him. Then, he said, "O people, I remind you of Allah. If you know that I have conveyed the message of my Lord, then bear witness. If you know that I have shortened the delivery of the message of my Lord, then bear witness." They said, "We bear witness that you have conveyed the message of your Lord, advised your ummah, and fulfilled your duty." Then, he said, "As for what follows, there are men who claim that the eclipse of the sun, the eclipse of the moon, and the disappearance of stars from their places are due to the death of great men from the people of the earth, but they are lying. Rather, these are the signs of Allah by which He warns His servants, so that those among them who have deviated may repent. By Allah, I have seen things concerning your worldly affairs and your hereafter from the time I started praying until now. And by Allah, the Hour will not be established until thirty liars appear, the last of them being the one-eyed Antichrist. He will be wiping his eye, as if it were the eye of my cousin, 'Abdullah bin Abi Quhafah, between whose house and the room of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with them both) there is a distance. Indeed, when he appears, he will claim to be Allah. Whoever believes in him and affirms his claim, will not benefit from any good deeds he had done before. Whoever disbelieves in him and fights against him, will not be inflicted with any punishment for his previous deeds. Indeed, he will appear on the earth, except for the Haram (Makkah) and the holy land (Jerusalem). He will lead people to Jerusalem, where they will be surrounded to an extreme extent." He said, "I thought that he mentioned that 'Isa ibn Maryam would appear among them in the morning and would kill him and his army until even the corners and pillars call out, 'O Muslim! O believer! This is a disbeliever hiding behind me, so come and kill him.' However, this will not occur until you witness severe and great matters occurring among yourselves, and you will argue among yourselves, 'Did your Prophet ﷺ mention that to you?'" Then, he said, "Afterward, the approaching of death."

[Machine] That Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf, the Jewish poet, used to mock the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and incite the disbelievers of the Quraysh against him in his poetry. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Medina, its people were a mixture of Muslims, who were united by the call of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , polytheists who worshiped idols, and Jews who were the people of the fortresses and strongholds and were allies of Banu Aws and Banu Khazraj. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to reconcile with all of them, even if a person was a Muslim and his father was a polytheist or if a person was a Muslim and his brother was a polytheist. The polytheists and the Jews of Medina, upon the arrival of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , harmed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions the most. Allah commanded His Messenger and the Muslims to have patience and forgive them. In this regard, Allah revealed the verse, "You will hear from those who were given the Scripture before you and from those who associate others with Allah much abuse. But if you are patient and fear Allah - indeed, that is of the matters [worthy] of determination" (Quran 3:186) until the end of the verse. In addition, Allah revealed the verse, "Many of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves [even] after the truth has become clear to them. So pardon and overlook until Allah delivers His command. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent." (Quran 2:109) When Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf refused to stop harming the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Muslims, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded Sa'd ibn Mu'adh to send a group to kill him. Sa'd ibn Mu'adh sent Muhammad bin Maslamah Ansari, Abu 'Abs Ansari, and Harith ibn 'Awf, along with five others. The hadith mentions their killing of Ka'b and the panic that spread among the Jews and the polytheists who were with them. They went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the morning and said, "Our leader was killed last night, and he was one of our prominent leaders." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ reminded them of what he used to say in his poetry and warned them against it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ invited them to make a written agreement between him, them, and the Muslims, which they would abide by. The Prophet ﷺ wrote a document between him, them, and the Muslims, valid for one year, which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote under the date palm tree in the house of Bint al-Harith. That document remained with Ali ibn Abi Talib after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .  

أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ الْأَشْرَفِ الْيَهُودِيَّ كَانَ شَاعِرًا وَكَانَ يَهْجُو رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَيُحَرِّضُ عَلَيْهِ كُفَّارَ قُرَيْشٍ فِي شِعْرِهِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَأَهْلُهَا أَخْلَاطٌ مِنْهُمُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ الَّذِينَ تَجْمَعُهُمْ دَعْوَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَمِنْهُمُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ الَّذِينَ يَعْبُدُونَ الْأَوْثَانَ وَمِنْهُمُ الْيَهُودُ وَهُمْ أَهْلُ الْحَلْقَةِ وَالْحُصُونِ وَهُمْ حُلَفَاءُ لِلْحَيَّيْنِ الْأَوْسِ وَالْخَزْرَجِ فَأَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ اسْتِصْلَاحَهُمْ كُلَّهُمْ وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ مُسْلِمًا وَأَبُوهُ مُشْرِكٌ وَالرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ مُسْلِمًا وَأَخُوهُ مُشْرِكٌ وَكَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ وَالْيَهُودُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ حِينَ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُؤْذُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابَهُ أَشَدَّ الْأَذَى فَأَمَرَ اللهُ رَسُولَهُ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ بِالصَّبِرِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَالْعَفْوِ عَنْهُمْ فَفِيهِمْ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ {وَلَتَسْمَعُنَّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ وَمَنَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا أَذًى كَثِيرًا} [آل عمران 186] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ وَفِيهِمْ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ {وَدَّ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ لَوْ يَرُدُّونَكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ إِيمَانِكُمْ كُفَّارًا حَسَدًا مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الْحَقُّ فَاعْفُوا وَاصْفَحُوا} [البقرة 109] فَلَمَّا أَبَى كَعْبُ بْنُ الْأَشْرَفِ أَنْ يَنْزِعَ عَنْ أَذَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَذَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَعْدَ بْنَ مُعَاذٍ ؓ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ رَهْطًا لِيَقْتُلُوهُ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ وَأَبَا عَبْسٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ وَالْحَارِثَ ابْنَ أَخِي سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي خَمْسَةِ رَهْطٍ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي قَتْلِهِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَتَلُوهُ فَزِعَتِ الْيَهُودُ وَمَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُمْ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَغَدَوْا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ أَصْبَحُوا فَقَالُوا إِنَّهُ طُرِقَ صَاحِبُنَا اللَّيْلَةَ وَهُوَ سَيِّدٌ مِنْ سَادَتِنَا فَقُتِلَ فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الَّذِي كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي أَشْعَارِهِ وَيَنْهَاهُمْ بِهِ وَدَعَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى أَنْ يَكْتُبَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كِتَابًا يَنْتَهُوا إِلَى مَا فِيهِ فَكَتَبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَامًّا صَحِيفَةً كَتَبَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَحْتَ الْعَذْقِ الَّذِي فِي دَارِ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ فَكَانَتْ تِلْكَ الصَّحِيفَةُ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed with the pilgrims in their dwellings for ten years during the seasons of Mijannah, 'Ukaz, and their dwellings in Mina. He asked, "Who will provide refuge and support me until I deliver the messages of my Lord? For him is Paradise." However, he did not find anyone who would provide refuge and support him, until a man from Makkah or Yemen would enter his companion's dwelling, and his people or relatives would warn him, saying, "Beware of this young man from Quraysh, he will harm you. He walks among your bags and invites you to Allah, pointing at him with his finger." Then Allah sent a man from Yathrib who believed in him and recited the Quran to him. He returned to his people and they embraced Islam until there was no house left in Yathrib except that it had a group of Muslims who openly declared their faith. Then Allah sent for him and we met and gathered seventy of us and said, "How long will the Messenger of Allah be driven away in the mountains of Makkah and fear? So we traveled until we reached him during the season. We made an appointment with the people of 'Aqabah and gathered there one man, then two men, until we met him there. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, why should we pledge allegiance to you?" He replied, "Pledge allegiance to me in hearing and obedience, in times of ease and difficulty, in hardship and ease, in commanding the good and forbidding the evil, and that you will not blame me for the sake of Allah, regardless of what happens. And that you will support me if I come to you in Yathrib and will protect me from that which you protect yourselves, your wives, and your children. And for you is Paradise." So we said, "We pledge allegiance to you." He took the hand of As'ad bin Zurarah, the youngest of the seventy men except me, and said, "O people of Yathrib, we have not struck the liver of a camel except that we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah and that his leaving today means the separation of all the Arabs and the killing of your best men. And the swords will bite you. But as for you, you are a people who can bear the biting of swords, the killing of your best men, and the separation of all the Arabs. Take him, and your reward is with Allah. But as for you, you fear for yourselves and hesitate, so leave him. He is the most careful for your sake in the sight of Allah." So they said, "Hold your hand, O As'ad bin Zurarah. By Allah, we will not abandon this pledge nor will we resign from it." So we stood up and approached him, one by one, agreeing to his conditions and receiving the promise of Paradise in return.

[Machine] The Prophet's wife said when Mecca became too narrow for us, she mentioned the story of their migration to the land of Abyssinia and how Quraish sent 'Amr ibn Al-Aas and 'Abdullah ibn Abu Rabiah to Negus to have them expelled from his land and handed over to them. She also mentioned the story of Ja'far ibn Abi Talib and his companions seeking refuge with Negus. Negus asked them if they had anything from the Quran with them, and Ja'far read a portion of Surah Maryam to him. Negus and his bishops were moved to tears by the recitation. Then Negus said, "Indeed, this speech originates from the same source as that which was brought by Moses. You are free to go, guided." She then mentioned the story of their encounter with the Christians from Najran who came to argue with the Prophet about Jesus. When they came to argue, the Prophet asked them what they said about Jesus, and Ja'far replied, "We say that he is the servant of Allah, His Messenger, His Word which He bestowed on Maryam and a spirit from Him." Negus became so moved by his words that he took a stick and traced a line on the ground, saying, "By Allah, Jesus son of Mary did not go beyond what you have said." She went on to mention that while they were in Abyssinia, a man from Abyssinia challenged their leader in authority, and they sought the help of Allah and asked for His support against him. The man was defeated, killed, and Negus was victorious. The wife of the Prophet said that when the news reached them, Zubair, who was one of the youngest companions, blew on a knot in his garment, tied it to his chest, and entered the Nile, swimming until he reached the other side where the people had gathered. He then untied the knot and said, "Rejoice, for Allah has granted victory to Negus!" She concluded that they were never happier about anything as they were happy about the victory of Negus.

[Machine] The following passage has been translated into English:

"He deserves this position more than those people or the group who were present when the Messenger of Allah passed away, and he was pleased with them. He named Ali, Uthman, Zubair, Talha, Saad, and Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf. He said, 'I bear witness to you, Abdullah Ibn Umar, even though he has no authority in this matter, like the consolation for him.' He also said, 'If the leadership falls into the hands of Saad, then that is good. Otherwise, let him seek the help of whichever one of you he is commanded to.' He said, 'I am not dismissing him due to any disability or betrayal.' He also said, 'I advise the caliph after me regarding the early migrants to acknowledge their rights and protect their sanctity. And I advise him concerning the Ansar, who took on the burden of the home and faith before them, to accept their kindness and pardon their mistakes. And I advise him regarding the people of the provinces, as they are the support of Islam, collectors of wealth, and the anger of the enemies. And let nothing be taken from them except their surplus beyond what pleases them. And I advise him regarding the Bedouins, as they are the roots of the Arabs and the backbone of Islam. Let their surplus be taken from the outskirts of their wealth and distributed to their poor. And I advise him regarding the covenant of Allah and the covenant of His Messenger, to fulfill their promise to them. And I advise him to fight from behind them and to not burden them beyond their capability.' When he passed away, we carried out his will and started walking. He mentioned the incident while burying him. He said, 'When we finished burying him and returned, this group of people assembled.' Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf said, 'Let's leave this matter to three of you.' Az-Zubair said, 'I have entrusted my matter to Ali.' Talha said, 'I have entrusted my matter to Uthman.' Saad said, 'I have entrusted my matter to Abdul Rahman.' Abdul Rahman said, 'Which one of you will absolve himself of this matter so that we can entrust it to him?' By Allah, he will judge with his own understanding and work diligently for the good of the nation. He said, 'The two sheikhs kept quiet.' Abdul Rahman said, 'Are you entrusting it to me? By Allah, I will not fail in fulfilling your best interests.' They said, 'Yes.' Abdul Rahman took the hand of one of them and said, 'You are from the close relatives of the Messenger of Allah and have a distinguished position in Islam. I have full confidence that if I appointed you, you would make justice your priority. And if I appointed Uthman, you would listen and obey him.' Then, he went to the other and said the same. When he made an agreement, he said to Uthman, 'Raise your hand, O Uthman,' and he pledged allegiance to him. Ali also pledged allegiance to him, and the people of the house pledged allegiance to him."

[Machine] There were some Jews who were forbidden by Allah from capturing whales on the Sabbath. Their whales would come to them on their Sabbath, prepared like eggplants with fins, resembling the shape and appearance of their offspring. But on days other than the Sabbath, they would not find any whales unless they exerted great effort and struggled to catch them. So some of them said to each other, or someone among them said, "If we take them on a day other than the Sabbath and eat them, let us do it." So a certain group from among them did so, and they took and ate them. Then their neighbors noticed the smell of cooking from the whales and said, "By Allah, we do not see that the family of so-and-so has experienced anything." So others among them also took and ate them, until this became widespread among them and prevalent. They split into three groups: one group that would eat, one group that would forbid, and one group that would say, "Why do you warn a people whom Allah is going to destroy or punish with a severe punishment?" (Al-A'raf 164). The group that forbade said, "Indeed, we warn you of the wrath of Allah and His punishment, that Allah may strike you with a calamity, or smite you with one of the punishments He has for you." But we will not reveal our secrets to you when you are in this place." So they went out of the city and stayed there overnight. They returned the next day and knocked on the city gate, but no one answered them. So they brought a ladder and leaned it against the city gate. Then one of them climbed atop the gate and said, "O servants of Allah, it is a group of monkeys, and by Allah, they have tails." Then he came down from the gate, and they opened the gate and the people entered. The monkeys realized that they were descended from humans, but the humans did not realize that they were descended from monkeys. A human would come to his relative or close one among the monkeys, touch him, cling to him, and say, "You are so-and-so, aren't you?" The monkey would nod his head, meaning "yes," and the human would cry. The monkey would go to his relative or close one among the humans, and the human would say to her, "You are so-and-so, aren't you?" She would nod her head, meaning "yes," and she would cry. Then the humans said to them, "Indeed, we warned you of the wrath of Allah and His punishment, that Allah may strike you with a calamity, or smite you with one of the punishments He has for you." Ibn 'Abbas said, "Then Allah said, 'So We saved those who forbade evil, and We seized those who did wrong with a severe punishment because of their disobedience.' (Al-A'raf 165). So I do not know what happened to the third group." Ibn 'Abbas said, "How many times have we seen something forbidden and not prevented it?" 'Ikrimah said, "So I said, 'Do you not see that Allah has made me your intercessor, that they have denied and disliked when they said, 'Why do you warn a people whom Allah is going to destroy or punish with a severe punishment?' (Al-A'raf 164).' He was pleased with my words and ordered two heavy coats for me, and I wore them."

"عَنْ نَهْشَلِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ مُزَاحِمٍ، عَن ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ (قال:

مكث عمر) يَسْأَلُ عن أُوَيْسٍ الْقَرْنِى عَشْرَ سِنِينَ، فَذَكَر أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا أَهْلَ اليمَنِ! مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ مُرَادٍ فَلْيَقُمْ، فَقَامَ مَنْ كَانَ مِن مُرَادٍ وَقَعَدَ آخَرُونَ، فَقَالَ: أَفيكُمْ أُوَيْسٌ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يا أَميرَ الْمؤمِنيِنَ! لَا نَعْرِفُ أُوَيْسًا وَلَكِنِ ابْنُ أَخٍ لِى يُقَالُ لَهُ أُوَيْسٌ هُوَ أَضْعَفُ وَأَمْهنُ مِن أَنْ يَسْأَلَ مِثْلُكَ عَن مَثْلِهِ، قال له: أَبِحَرَمِنَا هو؟ قَالَ: نَعَم هُوَ بالأَرَاكِ بِعَرَفةَ يَرْعَى إِبِلَ الْقَوْمِ فَرَكِبَ عُمَرُ وَعَلِىٌّ ؓ حِمَارَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَا حَتَّى أَتَيَا الأَراكَ فَإِذا هُوَ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّى، يَضْرِبُ ببَصَرِه نَحْوَ مَسْجِدِه وقَدْ دَخَلَ بَعْضُهُ فِى بَعْضٍ، فَلَمْا رَأَيَاهُ قَالَ أحَدُهُما لِصَاحِبه: إِنْ يَكُ أَحَدٌ الَّذِى نَطلُبُهُ فَهَذَا هُوَ، فَلَما سَمِع حديثهما خَفَّفَ وَانْصَرَفَ، فسلما عليه فرد عليهما، فلما رَدَّ عَلَيْهِما: وَعَلَيْكُمَا السَّلَام وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّه وبركاته، قَالَا لَه: مَا اسْمُكَ رَحِمَك اللَّه؟ قَالَ: أَنَا رَاعِى هَذِهِ الإِبِل، قَالَا: أَخْبِرْنَا بِاسْمكَ، قَالَ: أَنَا أَجِيرُ الْقَوْم، قَالَا: مَا اسْمكَ؟ قال: أَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّه، قَالَ لَهُ عَلِىٌّ: قَدْ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّ مَن فِى السَّمَواتِ وَالأَرْضِ عبيدُ اللَّه فَأَنْشُدُكَ برَبّ هَذِهِ الْكَعْبَةِ, رَبِّ هَذَا الْحَرَمِ مَا اسْمُكَ الَّذِى سَمَّتْكَ بِه أُمُّكَ؟ قَالَ: وَمَا تُريدَان إِلَى ذَلكَ؟ قال: أَنَا أُوَيْسُ بْنُ عامر، فَقَالَا لَه: اكْشِفْ لَنَا عَن شِقِّكَ الأَيْسَرِ فَكَشَفَ لهما، فإذا لمعة بيضاء قدر الدرهم من غير سوء) فابْتَدَرَا يُقَبِّلَانِ المَوْضِعَ، ثُمَّ قَالَا لَهُ: إِنَّ رسُولَ ﷺ أَمَرَنَا أن نُقْرِئَكَ السَّلَامَ وَأَنْ نَسْأَلَكَ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ لَنَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ دُعَائِى فِى شَرْقِ الأَرْضِ وَغَرْبِهَا لِجَمِيع المُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمنَاتِ، فَقَالَا: ادْع لنا! فَدَعَا لَهُمَا وَلِلمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمؤْمِنَاتِ، فَقَالَ له عمر: أُعطيك شيئًا من رزقى أو من عطائى تستعين به، فقال: ثَوْباىَ جَدِيدَانِ، وَنَعْلَاىَ مَخْصُوفَتَانِ، وَمَعِى أَرْبَعَةُ دَرَاهمَ، وَلِى فَضْلَةٌ عنْدَ الْقَوْمِ، فَمَتَى أُفْنِى هَذَا؟ إِنَّهُ مَن أَمَّلَ جُمُعَةً أَمَّل شَهْرًا، وَمَن أَمَّلَ شَهْرًا أَمَّل سَنَةً، ثُمَّ رَدَّ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ إِبِلَهُمْ، ثُمَّ فَارَقَهُم فَلَم يَرَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ".  

"عن موسى بن جبير، عن شيوخٍ من أَهْلِ المدينةِ قالوا: كتب عمرُ ابن الخطاب إلى عمرو بن العاص: أما بعدُ فإنى قد فرضتُ لمن قِبَلى في الديوان ولذرِّيَّتِهم ولمن (وَرَد) علينا (بالمدينة) من أهل اليمنِ وغيرهم ممن توجَّه إليك، وإلى البلدان فانْظُرْ من فرضتُ له ونزلَ بك فأدِرْ عليه العطاءَ وعلى ذُريّته، ومن نزل بك ممن لم أفرضْ له فافرض له على نحو ما رأيتَنى فرضتُ لأَشْباههِ، وخذ لِنفْسك مائتى دينارٍ، فهذهِ فرائض أَهْلِ بدرٍ من المهاجرين والأنصارِ، ولم أُبَلِّغ بهَذا أحدًا من نُظَرائِك غيرَك؛ لأنَّك من عمَّال المسلمين فَأَلحقْتُك بأرْفَعِ ذَلك، وقد علمتَ أن مُؤْنَتَنا تَلْزمُك، فوفِّر الخَراجَ وخذْه من حقِّه، ثم عِفَّ عنه بعد جَمْعهِ، فإذا حصلَ إليك وجمعْته أخرجْتَ عطاءَ المسلمين وذُرِّيتهم، وما يُحْتاج إليه مما لابُدَّ منه، ثم انظر فيما فَضَل بعدَ ذلك فاحْمِله إلىَّ، واعلم أن ما قِبَلَك من أرضِ مصرَ ليس فيه خُمُسٌ، وإنما هى أرضُ صُلحٍ وما فيها للمسلمين فَىْءٌ، يُبْدَأُ بمنْ أَغْنى عنْهم في ثغورِهم وأجزأ عنهم في أعمالِهم، ثم تُفِيضُ ما فَضَلَ بعد ذلك على من سَمَّى اللَّه، واعلم يا عمرو أن اللَّه يراك ويرى عملك، فإنه قال: تبارك وتعالى في كتابه: {وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا} ويعلم من سريرتك ما يعلم من علانيتك فلتكن تقتدى به، وإن

معك أهلَ ذمةٍ وعهد قد أوصى رسول اللَّه ﷺ بِهم، وأوصى بالقِبْط، فقال: استوصوا بالقبط خيرًا فإِن لهم ذِمَّة ورَحِمًا، ورحِمُهم أَنَّ إسماعيلَ منهم، وقد قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ : من ظلم معاهَدًا أو كلَّفه فوق طاقته فأنا خصمه يومَ القِيامَة، احذر يا عَمْرو أن يَكون لقد ابتليتُ بولاية هذه الأمةِ وآنستُ من نفسى ضعفًا، وانتشرت رعيتى، وَرَقَّ عَظمِى، فَأَسأَلُ اللَّه أن يَقبضَنى إليه غيرَ مفرّط، واللَّه إنى لأَخشى لو ماتَ حمل بِأقْصَى عملك ضياعا أن أُسْأل عنه يَوم القِيامَة".  

"عَن صالح بن كيسان قال: لما كانتِ الرِّدَّةُ قَامَ أَبو بَكْرٍ فَحَمِد اللهَ وأَثْنَى عَلَيْه، ثُمَّ قَالَ: الْحَمْد للهِ الَّذِى هَدَى فَكَفَى، وَأَعْطَى فَأَغَنَى، إِنَّ اللهَ بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ والِعِلْمُ شرِيدٌ، والإسلامُ غَرِيبٌ طَرِيدٌ، قَدْ رَثَّ حَبْلُهُ، وخَلُقَ عهدُهُ، وَضَلَّ أَهْلُهُ عَنْهُ، وَمَقَتَ اللهُ أَهْلَ الكِتَاب فَلا يُعْطِيهم خيرًا لِخيْرٍ عندهُم، وَلَا يَصْرِف عَنْهُمْ شَرًا لشَرٍّ عندهُم وقَدْ غَيَّروُا كِتَابَهُمْ، وَأَلْحقُوا فِيهِ مَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ، والعربُ الأميُّون صُفْرٌ من الله لا يَعْبُدُونَهُ ولا يَدْعُونَهُ، أجْهَدَهم عَيْشًا وَأَضَلَّهُمْ دينًا في ظلف من الأرض. مَعَهُ فِئَةُ الصَّحَابَةِ، فجمعهم الله - بمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَجَعَلهمُ الأُمَّةَ الوُسْطَى، نَصَرَهُمْ مَن اتبعهم، ونصرهم على غيرهم، حتى قَبَضَ اللهُ نَبِيَّه ﷺ فَرَكِبَ مِنهُمُ الشَّيطَانُ مركبه الذى أنْزَلَه اللهُ عَنْهُ وَأخَذَ بأيْديهم، وَنَعَى هَلَكَتَهُمْ: {وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَفَإِنْ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْ وَمَنْ يَنْقَلِبْ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ فَلَنْ يَضُرَّ اللَّهَ شَيْئًا وَسَيَجْزِي اللَّهُ الشَّاكِرِينَ} إِنَّ من حولكم من العَربِ مَنَعُوا شَاتَهُم وَبَعِيرَهُمْ وَلمْ يَكُونُوا فىِ دِينِهِمْ، وَإِنْ رَجَعُوا إِلَيْه أَزْهَدَ منْهمُ يَوْمَهُمْ هَذَا، وَلَمْ يَكُونُوا فىِ دِينِكُمْ أَقْوى مِنْكُم يَوْمَكُم هَذَا علَى مَا فقَدْتُمْ مِنْ بَركَةِ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ وَلَقَدْ وكَلَكُمْ إِلَى الكَافِى الأول الذى وَجَدَهُ ضَالا فَهَدَاهُ، وَعائِلًا فَأَغْنَاهُ، وَكُنْتُمْ عَلَى شَفَا حُفْرَةٍ مِنَ النَّارِ فَأَنْقَذَكُمْ منْهَا، وَاللهِ لا أَدَعُ أُقَاتِلُ علَى أَمْرِ اللهِ حَتَّى يُنْجِزَ اللهُ وَعْدَهُ، وَيُوفِى لَنَا عَهْدَهُ وَيُقْتَل مَنْ قُتِلَ مِنَّا شهيدًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّة، وَيَبْقَى مَنْ بَقِى مِنَّا خَلِيفَةً وَوَارثَهُ فِى أَرْضِهِ قَضَى الله الحقَّ، وَقَوْلُه الَّذِى لا خُلفَ فيهِ {وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ} الآية. ثم نزل".

"لما كان يوم بدر نظر النبي ﷺ إلى أصحابه وهم ثَلَاثُمِائَةٍ ونيف، ونظر إلى المشركين، فإذا هم ألف وزيادة فاستقبل النبي ﷺ القبلة، ومد يديه وعليه رداؤه وإزاره، ثم قال: اللهم أنجز ما وعدتني، اللهم إن تهلك هذه العصابة - من أهل الإسلام - فلا تعبد في الأرض أبدا، فما زال يستغيث ربه ويدعوه حتى سقط رداؤه، فأتاه أبو بكر فأخذ رداءه فرداه ثم التزمه من ورائه، ثم قال: يا نبي الله كفاك مناشدَتَك ربك فإنه سينجز لك ما وعدك، وأنزل الله: {إِذْ تَسْتَغِيثُونَ رَبَّكُمْ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ أَنِّي مُمِدُّكُمْ بِأَلْفٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مُرْدِفِينَ} فلما كان يومئذ والتقوا هزم الله المشركين وقُتِلَ منهم سبعون رجلا، وأسر منهم سبعون رجلًا، فاستشار رسول الله ﷺ أبا بكر وعليا وعمر فقال أبو بكر: يا نبي الله: هؤلاء بنو العم والعشيرة والإخوان، وإني أري أن تأخذَ منهم الفدية، فيكون ما أخذنا منهم قوة لنا على الكفار، وعسي أن يهديَهم فيكونوا لنا عضدا، فقال رسول الله ﷺ : ما ترى؟ قلت: والله ما أرى الذي رأى أبو بكر ولكن أرى أن تمكني من فلان - قريب لعمر - فأضرب عنقَه، وتمكن عليا من عقيل فيضربَ عنقه، وتمكن حمزة من فلان أخيه فيضرب عنقه، حتى يعلم الله أنه ليست في قلوبنا مودة للمشركين، هؤلاءِ صناديدُهم وأئمتهم وقادتهم، فهوى رسول الله ﷺ ما قال أبو بكر، ولم يهو ما قلت، فأخذ منهم الفداء، فلما كان من الغدِ غدوت على النبي ﷺ فإذا هو قاعد وأبو بكر يبكيان، فقلت: يا رسول الله: أخبرني ماذا يبكيك أنت وصاحبك؟ فإن وجدت بكاءً بكيت، وإن لم أجد تباكيت لبكائكما، فقال النبي ﷺ للذي عرض على أصحابك من الفداء، لقد عرض على عذابكم أدنى من هذه الشجرة: الشجرة قريبة، فأنزل الله: {مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ

"عَنْ إِياسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: بَعَثَتْ قُرَيْشٌ خَارَجَةَ بْنَ كُرْزٍ يَطْلُبُ لَهُمْ طَليعَةً، فَرَجَع حَامدًا بحُسْنِ الثَّنَاءِ، فَقَالُوا: إِنَّكَ أَعْرَابِىُّ قَعْقَعُوا لَكَ السِّلَاحَ فَطَارَ فُؤَادُكَ، فَمَا دَرَيْتَ مَا قِيلَ لَكَ وَمَا قُلْتَ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلُوا عُرْوَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، فَجَاءَهُ فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ! مَا هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ تَدْعُو إِلَى ذَاتِ الله، ثُمَّ جِئْتَ قَوْمَكَ بِأَوْبَاشِ النَّاسِ مَنْ تَعْرِفُ وَمَنْ لَا تَعْرِفُ لِتَقْطَعَ أَرْحَامَهُمْ وَتَسْتَحِلَّ حُرَمَهُمْ وَدِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوالَهُمْ؟ ! فَقالَ: إِنِّى لَمْ آت قوْمِى إِلَّا لأَصِلَ أَرْحَامَهُمْ يُبْدِلُهُمْ اللهُ بِدينٍ خَيْرٍ مِنْ دِينِهِمْ، وَمعايِشَ خيْرٍ مِنْ مَعَايِشِهِمْ، فَرَجَعَ حَامِدًا بِحُسْنِ الثَّنَاءِ، قَالَ سَلَمَةُ: فَاشْتَدَّ الْبَلَاءُ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ فِى يَدِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنَ الْمُسْلمِينَ، فَدَعا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عُمَرَ فَقالَ: يَا عُمَرُ! هَلْ أَنْتَ مُبْلِغٌ عَنِّى إِخْوَانَكَ مِنْ أُسَارَى الْمُسْلمِينَ؟ ! فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِىَّ اللهِ! وَاللهِ مَالِىَ بِمَكَّةَ مِنْ عَشِيرَةٍ غَيْرِى أَكْثَرُ عَشِيرةً مِنِّى، فَدعا عُثْمَانَ فَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَخَرَجَ عُثْمَانُ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ حَتَّى جَاءَ عَسْكَرَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَعَتِبُوا بِهِ وَأَساءوا لَهُ الْقَوْلَ، ثُمَّ أَجَارَهُ أَبَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعاصِ ابْنِ عَمِّهِ، وَحَمَلَهُ السَّرْج

وَرَدِفَهُ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَالَ: يَا بْنَ عَمِّ! مَالِىَ أَرَاكَ مُتَخَشِّعًا؟ أَسْبِلْ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ إِزَارُهُ إِلَى نِصْف سَاقِه، ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ: هَكَذَا إِزْرَةُ صَاحِبنَا، فَلَمْ يَدَعْ أَحَدًا بِمَكَّةَ مِنْ أُسَارَى الْمُسْلمِينَ إِلَّا بلَّغَهُمْ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ، قَالَ سَلَمَةُ: فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ قَائِمُونَ نَادَى مُنَادِى رَسُول اللهِ ﷺ : أَيُّها النَّاسُ! الْبَيْعَةَ الْبَيْعَةَ؛ نَزَلَ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ، فَسرنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ وَهُوَ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةِ سَمُرَةٍ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ، وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللهِ: {لَقَدْ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ يُبَايِعُونَكَ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ} (*)، قَالَ: فَبَايَعَ لِعُثْمَانَ إِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ عَلَى الأُخْرَى، فَقالَ النَّاسُ: هَنِيئًا لِأَبى عَبْدِ اللهِ؛ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ وَنَحْنُ هَاهُنَا، فَقالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ : لَوْ مَكَثَ كَذَا وَكَذَا سَنَةً مَا طَافَ حَتَّى أَطُوفَ".
