When the Prophet ﷺ feared a (group of) people, he would say: "O Allah, we make Thee our shield against them, and take refuge in Thee from their evils." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1537)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أَصَابَ قَوْمًا قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَجْعَلُكَ فِي نُحُورِهِمْ وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شُرُورِهِمْ»  

I heard ‘Iyad al-Ashʿari say: i was present at al-Yarmouk and we had five commanders over us: Abu ʿUbaidah bin al-Jarrah, Yazeed bin Abi Sufyan, Ibn Hasanah, Khalid bin al-Waleed and ʿIyad - and this ʿIyad was not the one who narrated reports to Simak. - ʿUmar ؓ said: If fighting occurs, then your commander is Abu ʿUbaidah. So we wrote to him, saying: We are facing death; and we asked him for reinforcements. He wrote to us, saying: I have received your letter asking for reinforcements and I can tell you about who has the greatest support and the most ready troops. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, ask Him for support, for Muhammad ﷺ was caused to prevail on the day of Badr with fewer than your numbers. When this letter of mine reaches you, fight them without referring back to me. So we fought them, and we defeated them, pursuing and killing them for four parasangs, and we acquired wealth (booly). They discussed the issue (of booty) and ‘Iyad suggested to us that we should give ten for every head. And Abu ʼUbaidah said: Who will compete with me (in a horse race)? A young man said: I will, if you donʿt get angry. Then he beat him, and I saw the two braids of Abu ‘Ubaidah flying as he raced behind him on an Arabian horse. (Using translation from Aḥmad 344)   

عُمَرُ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا كَانَ قِتَالٌ فَعَلَيْكُمْ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ قَالَ » فَكَتَبْنَا إِلَيْهِ أَنْ قَدْ جَاشَ إِلَيْنَا الْمَوْتُ وَاسْتَمْدَدْنَاهُ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْنَا أَنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَنِي كِتَابُكُمْ تَسْتَمِدُّونِي وَإِنِّي أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى مَا هُوَ أَعَزُّ نَصْرًا وَأَحْصَنُ جُنْدًا اللَّهُ فَاسْتَنْصِرُوهُ فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ قَدْ نُصِرَ بِأَقَلَّ مِنْ عَدَدِكُمْ فَإِذَا أَتَاكُمْ كِتَابِي فَقَاتِلُوهُمْ وَلَا تُرَاجِعُونِي قَالَ فَقَاتَلْنَاهُمْ فَهَزَمْنَاهُمْ وَقَتَلْنَاهُمْ أَرْبَعَ فَرَاسِخَ وَأَصَبْنَا أَمْوَالًا فَتَشَاوَرُوا فَأَشَارَ عَلَيْهِمْ عِيَاضٌ عَنْ كُلِّ رَأْسٍ عَشْرَةٌ وَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ مَنْ يُرَاهِنُنِي؟ فَقَالَ شَابٌّ أَنَا إِنْ لَمْ تَغْضَبْ قَالَ «فَسَبَقَهُ فَرَأَيْتُ عَقِيصَتَيْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ تَنْقُزَانِ وَهُوَ خَلْفَهُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ عَرَبِيٍّ»  

"I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Bring me the weak, for you only receive provision and Divine support by virtue of your weak ones.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3179)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «ابْغُوا لِي ضُعَفَاءَكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا تُرْزَقُونَ وَتُنْصَرُونَ بِضُعَفَائِكُمْ»  

"Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A time will come upon the people, when a group of people will wage a holy war and it will be said, 'Is there amongst you anyone who has accompanied Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' They will say, 'Yes.' And so victory will be bestowed on them. Then a time will come upon the people when a group of people will wage a holy war, and it will be said, "Is there amongst you anynone who has accompanied the companions of Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' They will say, 'Yes.' And so victory will be bestowed on them. Then a time will come upon the people when a group of people will wage a holy war, and it will be said, "Is there amongst you anyone who has been in the company of the companions of the companions of Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?' They will say, 'Yes.' And victory will be bestowed on them." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3649)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَغْزُو فِيهِ فِئَامٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَيُقَالُ هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ صَحِبَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ فَيُقَالُ نَعَمْ فَيُفْتَحُ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَغْزُو فِيهِ فِئَامٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَيُقَالُ هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ صَحِبَ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ فَيُقَالُ نَعَمْ فَيُفْتَحُ لَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَغْزُو فِيهِ فِئَامٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَيُقَالُ هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ صَحِبَ أَصْحَابَ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَيُقَالُ نَعَمْ فَيُفْتَحُ لَهُمْ»  

[Machine] On the day of Hunayn, when Hawazin and Ghatafan arrived with their offspring and possessions, along with the Prophet ﷺ were ten thousand people and the free men. They turned away from him until he remained alone. He called out twice on that day with two different calls that were not mixed together. He turned to his right and said, "O people of the Ansar!" They replied, "Here we are, O Messenger of Allah! We are with you!" He then turned to his left and said, "O people of the Ansar!" They replied, "Here we are, O Messenger of Allah! We are with you!" He was riding a white she-mule and then dismounted and said, "I am Abdullah, the slave of Allah and His Messenger." The polytheists were then defeated, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ obtained many spoils of war. He distributed them among the emigrants and the free men, but did not give anything to the Ansar. The Ansar said, "When there is a difficulty, we are with you, but when there is plunder, you give it to others and not us." When the Prophet learned of this, he gathered them in one place and said, "O people of the Ansar, what rumor has reached me?" They remained silent. He then said, "O people of the Ansar, would you not be satisfied if people went with the sheep and you went with Muhammad ﷺ to your homes?" They replied, "O Messenger of Allah, we are satisfied." He said, "If the people took one path and the Ansar took another, I would take the path of the Ansar."  

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ حُنَيْنٍ أَقْبَلَتْ هَوَازِنُ وَغَطَفَانُ بِذَرَارِيِّهِمْ وَنَعَمِهِمْ وَمَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَشْرَةُ آلَافٍ وَمَعَهُ الطُّلَقَاءُ فَأَدْبَرُوا عَنْهُ حَتَّى بَقِيَ وَحْدَهُ قَالَ فَنَادَى يَوْمَئِذٍ نِدَاءَيْنِ لَمْ يَخْلِطْ بَيْنَهُمَا شَيْئًا فَالْتَفَتَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ» فَقَالُوا لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَبْشِرْ نَحْنُ مَعَكَ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَى يَسَارِهِ وَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ» فَقَالُوا لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَبْشِرْ نَحْنُ مَعَكَ قَالَ وَهُوَ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ فَنَزَلَ وَقَالَ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ فَانْهَزَمَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ فَأَصَابَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ غَنَائِمَ كَثِيرَةً فَقَسَمَ فِي الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالطُّلَقَاءِ وَلَمْ يُعْطِ الْأَنْصَارَ شَيْئًا فَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ إِذَا كَانَ فِي الشِّدَّةِ فَنَحْنُ وَيُعْطِي الْغَنِيمَةَ غَيْرَنَا فَبَلَغَهُ ذَلِكَ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ وَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي؟ » فَسَكَتُوا فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالشَّاءِ وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ إِلَى بُيُوتِكُمْ؟ » قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَضِينَا قَالَ «لَوْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا وَسَلَكَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ شِعْبًا لَأَخَذْتُ شِعْبَ الْأَنْصَارِ»  

[Machine] About the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Hunayn? Al-Bara' said, "But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not flee, indeed the Hawazin were a group of expert archers. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ riding on a white mule, while Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith was holding its reins and he (the Messenger) was saying, 'I am the Prophet, there is no falsehood in that. I am the son of Abdul-Muttalib.'"  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ؟ قَالَ الْبَرَاءُ لَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَفِرَّ إِنَّ هَوَازِنَ كَانُوا قَوْمًا رُمَاةً فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ وَإِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ آخِذٌ بِلِجَامِهَا وَهُوَ يَقُولُ ﷺ «أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لَا كَذِبْ أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ» *  

The Prophet ﷺ said: "There are three whom Allah (SWT) loves: A man who comes to some people and asks (to be given something) for the sake of Allah and not for the sake of their relationship, but they do not give him, so a man stayed behind and gave it to him in secret, and no one knew of his giving except Allah (SWT) and the one to whom he gave it. People who travel all night until sleep becomes dearer to them than anything equated with it, so they lay down their heads (and slept), then a man among them got up and started praying to Me and beseeching Me, reciting My Verses. And a man who was on a campaign and met the enemy and they fled, but he went forward (pursuing them) until he was killed or victory was granted." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1615)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «ثَلَاثَةٌ يُحِبُّهُمُ اللَّهُ رَجُلٌ أَتَى قَوْمًا فَسَأَلَهُمْ بِاللَّهِ وَلَمْ يَسْأَلْهُمْ بِقَرَابَةٍ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ فَتَخَلَّفَ رَجُلٌ بِأَعْقَابِهِمْ فَأَعْطَاهُ سِرًّا لَا يَعْلَمُ بِعَطِيَّتِهِ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَالَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ وَقَوْمٌ سَارُوا لَيْلَهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ النَّوْمُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ نَزَلُوا فَوَضَعُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ فَقَامَ يَتَمَلَّقُنِي وَيَتْلُو آيَاتِي وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَلَقُوا الْعَدُوَّ فَهُزِمُوا وَأَقْبَلَ بِصَدْرِهِ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ أَوْ يُفْتَحَ لَهُمْ»  

[Machine] About the first scene witnessed by the Prophet Muhammadﷺ he said, "By Allah, if Allah shows me a battle, He will show me what I will do." So, on the day of Uhud, the companions of the Prophetﷺ were defeated. Sa'd ibn Mu'adh came forward and said, "Where? Where? By the One in whose hand is my soul, I can smell the fragrance of Paradise below Uhud." He then picked up his weapon and fought until he was killed. Sa'd, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I have endured what no one can endure." His sister said, "By Allah, I did not know my brother except for his beautiful face. He was found to have eighty-two wounds from sword strikes, arrow shots, and spear stabs. Then Allah revealed: 'Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah; some of them have fulfilled their vow, and some are still waiting. And they have not changed in the least.'" Hammad said, "And I read in the Qur'an of my father, 'And among them are those who have changed.'"  

عَنْ أَوَّلِ مَشْهَدٍ شَهِدَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ أَرَانِي اللَّهُ قِتَالًا لَيَرَيَنَّ مَا أَصْنَعُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ انْهَزَمَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَقْبَلَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ يَقُولُ أَيْنَ أَيْنَ؟ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ رِيحَ الْجَنَّةِ دُونَ أُحُدٍ قَالَ فَحَمَلَ فَقَاتَلَ فَقُتِلَ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَطَقْتُ مَا أَطَاقَ فَقَالَتْ أُخْتُهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا عَرَفْتُ أَخِي إِلَّا بِحُسْنِ بَنَانِهِ فَوُجِدَ فِيهِ بِضْعٌ وَثَمَانُونَ جِرَاحَةً ضَرْبَةُ سَيْفٍ وَرَمْيَةُ سَهْمٍ وَطَعْنَةُ رُمْحٍ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا} قَالَ حَمَّادٌ «وَقَرَأْتُ فِي مُصْحَفِ أَبِي وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ بَدَّلَ تَبْدِيلًا»  

[Machine] "To let one person fight ten would be too heavy and burdensome for them, and it would also be difficult for them. So, that responsibility was taken away from them until one person would fight two. Then Allah revealed in that regard, 'If there are twenty steadfast among you...' until the end of the verse. Then He said, 'If it were not for a decree from Allah that preceded, you would have been touched for what you took by a great punishment.' By that, it means the spoils of Badr. If it were not for my leniency towards those who disobey me, I would have already punished them until I advance towards them."  

أَنْ يُقَاتِلَ الْوَاحِدُ عَشْرَةً فَثَقُلَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَوَضَعَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُمْ إِلَى أَنْ يُقَاتِلَ الْوَاحِدُ رَجُلَيْنِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ {إِنْ يَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ عِشْرُونَ صَابِرُونَ} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ {لَوْلَا كِتَابٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ} يَعْنِي غَنَائِمَ بَدْرٍ لَوْلَا أَنِّي لَا أُعَذِّبُ مَنْ عَصَانِي حَتَّى أَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ  

[Machine] We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ without knowing the news of the people who had gathered against us. So we encountered the valley of Hunayn in the darkness of dawn, and it was a hollow valley among the valleys of Tihama. They were descending into it rapidly. He (the Messenger) said, "By Allah, people are following each other in a manner that they are not aware of anything, as the battalions have reached them from every direction." The people did not anticipate being defeated, so they started retreating.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then turned to the right side and said, "Where are you people? I am the Messenger of Allah and I am Muhammad ibn Abdullah." At that time, there was a large man riding a red camel with a black flag in his hand. He stabbed with it when he reached and pushed it from behind when he missed something in front of him. Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) noticed him, as well as a man from the Ansar. Both of them intended to confront him.

Ali struck the two humps of the camel, causing it to fall on its side, while the Ansari man attacked his leg, causing him to fall and severing half of his leg. The people engaged in fighting until they faced defeat. Safwan ibn Umayyah's brother-in-law, who was present, said, "Indeed, magic has ended today." At that time, Safwan ibn Umayyah was a polytheist. He had suffered a blow from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the Battle of Uhud. Safwan said to him, "Be quiet, may Allah make your mouth useless." Then he said, "By Allah, a man from Quraysh supporting me is more beloved to me than a man from Hawazin supporting me."  

أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَا نَعْلَمُ بِخَبَرِ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ جَيَّشُوا لَنَا فَاسْتَقْبَلْنَا وَادِيَ حُنَيْنٍ فِي عَمَايَةِ الصُّبْحِ وَهُوَ وَادِي أَجْوَفُ مِنْ أَوْدِيَةِ تِهَامَةَ إِنَّمَا يَنْحَدِرُونَ فِيهِ انْحِدَارًا قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَيُتَابِعُونَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ بِشَيْءٍ إِذْ فَجِئَهُمُ الْكَتَائِبُ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ فَلَمْ يَنْتَظِرِ النَّاسُ أَنِ انْهَزَمُوا رَاجِعِينَ قَالَ وَانْحَازَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَقَالَ «أَيْنَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ؟ أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ» وَكَانَ أَمَامَ هَوَازِنَ رَجُلٌ ضَخْمٌ عَلَى جَمَلٍ أَحْمَرَ فِي يَدِهِ رَايَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ إِذَا أُدْرِكَ طَعَنَ بِهَا وَإِذَا فَاتَهُ شَيْءٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ دَفَعَهَا مِنْ خَلْفِهِ فَرَصَدَ لَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَرَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ كِلَاهُمَا يُرِيدُهُ قَالَ فَضَرَبَ عَلِيٌّ عُرْقُوبَيِ الْجَمَلِ فَوَقَعَ عَلَى عَجُزِهِ وَضَرَبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ سَاقَهُ فَطَرَحَ قَدَمَهُ بِنِصْفِ سَاقِهِ فَوَقَعَ وَاقْتَتَلَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى كَانَتِ الْهَزِيمَةُ وَكَانَ أَخُو صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ لِأُمِّهِ قَالَ أَلَا بَطَلَ السِّحْرُ الْيَوْمَ وَكَانَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُشْرِكًا فِي الْمُدَّةِ الَّتِي ضَرَبَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ صَفْوَانُ اسْكُتْ فَضَّ اللَّهُ فَاكَ فَوَاللَّهِ لَأَنْ يَلِيَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَلِيَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ هَوَازِنَ  

Al Bara’ said “When the Prophet ﷺ fought the polytheists in the battle of Hunain, they (the Muslims) retreated, he (the Prophet) came down from his mule and walked on foot. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2658)   

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمَّا لَقِيَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ نَزَلَ عَنْ بَغْلَتِهِ فَتَرَجَّلَ»  

[Machine] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ defeated a people, he preferred to spend three nights with them."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا غَلَبَ قَوْمًا أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُقِيمَ بِعَرْصَتِهِمْ ثَلَاثًا»  

[Machine] "When the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ would overcome a people, he preferred to stay with them for three nights, or he would say three days."  

«كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا غَلَبَ قَوْمًا أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُقِيمَ بِعَرْصَتِهِمْ ثَلَاثًا أَوْ قَالَ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ»  

[Machine] About Abu Talha, then indeed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered on the day of Badr twenty-four men from the ranks of the Quraish to be thrown into a pit in the valleys of Badr. And whenever he would appear before a people, he preferred to camp with them for three nights. So, on the third day, he commanded his camel to be saddled and he rode it and his companions followed him. They said, "We do not see him departing except for some of his needs." Until he reached the edge of the sand dune, then he called them by their names and their fathers' names, saying, "O so-and-so son of so-and-so, are you pleased that you have obeyed Allah and His Messenger? Verily, we have found what our Lord has promised us to be true. Have you found what your Lord promised you to be true?" Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah, are you speaking to bodies without souls?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, you do not hear what I say more than they do." Qatada said, "Allah has given them life until He made them hear rebuke, belittlement, punishment, regret, and remorse."  

عَنْ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ بِأَرْبَعَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ صَنَادِيدِ قُرَيْشٍ فَقُذِفُوا فِي طَويٍّ مِنْ أَطْوَاءِ بَدْرٍ وَكَانَ إِذَا ظَهَرَ عَلَى قَوْمٍ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُقِيمَ بِعَرْصَتِهِمْ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الثَّالِثِ أَمَرَ بِرَاحِلَتِهِ فَشُدَّ عَلَيْهَا فَرَحَلَهَا ثُمَّ مَشَى وَتَبِعَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ فَقَالُوا مَا نَرَاهُ يَنْطَلِقُ إِلَّا لِبَعْضِ حَاجَتِهِ حَتَّى قَامَ عَلَى شَفَةَ الرَّكِيِّ فَجَعَلَ يُنَادِيهِمْ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ وَأَسْمَاءِ آبَائِهِمْ يَا فُلَانُ بْنَ فُلَانٍ أَيَسُرُّكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ أَطَعْتُمُ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّا قَدْ وَجَدْنَا مَا وَعَدَنَا رَبُّنَا حَقًّا فَهَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَكَلَّمَ مِنْ أَجْسَادٍ لَا أَرْوَاحَ لَهَا؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَسْمَعَ لِمَا أَقُولُ مِنْهُمْ» قَالَ قَتَادَةُ أَحْيَاهُمُ اللَّهُ حَتَّى أَسْمَعَهُمْ تَوْبِيخًا وَتَصْغِيرًا وَنِقْمَةً وَحَسْرَةً وَتَنَدُّمًا  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ besieged the people of Ta'if, but did get victory over them. He said: God willing, we shall return. His Companions said: Shall we depart without having conquered it? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: (All right) make a raid in the morning. They did so. and were wounded (with the arrows showered upon them). So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: We shall depart tomorrow. (The narrator says): (Now) this (announcement) pleased them, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed at (their waywardness). (Using translation from Muslim 1778)  

حَاصَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَهْلَ الطَّائِفِ فَلَمْ يَنَلْ مِنْهُمْ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ إِنَّا قَافِلُونَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ نَرْجِعُ وَلَمْ نَفْتَحْ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اغْدُوا عَلَى الْقِتَالِ» فَغَدَوْا عَلَيْهِ فَأَصَابَهُمْ جِرَاحٌ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّا قَافِلُونَ غَدًا» فَأَعْجَبَهُمْ ذَلِكَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] "I was presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the Day of Quraizah. They complained about me and it was said to me, 'Did you grow (pubic hair)?' So they searched me and found that I had not grown (pubic hair), so they let me go."  

«عُرِضْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ قُرَيْظَةَ فَشَكَّوْا فِيَّ فَقِيلَ لِي هَلْ أَنْبَتَّ فَفَتَّشُونِي فَوَجَدُونِي لَمْ أُنْبِتْ فَخُلِّيَ سَبِيلِي»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Observe carefully: if the hair has grown, then kill it; otherwise, do not kill it.'"  

رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «انْظُرُوا فَإِنْ كَانَ أَنْبَتَ الشَّعْرَ فَاقْتُلُوهُ وَإِلَّا فَلَا تَقْتُلُوهُ»  

[Machine] Atiya al-Qurazi heard saying, "I was among those whom Saad ibn Muadh ruled over, but they couldn't find me so I was saved, and here I am."  

سَمِعَ عَطِيَّةَ الْقُرَظِيَّ يَقُولُ «كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ حَكَمَ فِيهِمْ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَلَمْ يَجِدُونِي أَنْبَتُّ فَاسْتُبْقِيتُ فَهَا أَنَا ذَا»  

[Machine] "I was the first to judge them, Saad brought me and I saw that he would kill me, so they uncovered my suffering and found that I did not grow, so they made me captive."  

«كُنْتُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ حَكَمَ فِيهِمْ سَعْدٌ فَجِيءَ بِي وَأَنَا أَرَى أَنَّهُ سَيَقْتُلُنِي فَكَشَفُوا عَنْ عَانَتِي فَوَجَدُونِي لَمْ أُنْبِتْ فَجَعَلُونِي فِي السَّبْيِ»  

"On the day of (the battle of) Al-Ahzab, Sa'd bin Mu'adh was struck by an arrow such that the upper vein or lower vein of his forearm was severed. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ tried to stop it with fire, but it made his arm bleed profusely so he left it. Then he did it another time but it caused it to bleed profusely. Upon seeing that he said: 'O Allah! Do not allow my soul depart until my eyes are comforted by elimination of Banu Quraizah.' He pressed his vein closed and it did not bleed a drop before they surrendered to the arbitration of Sa'd bin Mu'adh. He (the Prophet ﷺ) sent to him (Sa'd) who judged that their men should be killed, their women should be spared, and that the Muslims may share them among themselves. With this, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'You have judged according to Allah's judgement for them.' And they were four hundred. Then when he finished killing them, his vein opened up and he died." [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Abu Sa'eed and 'Atiyyah Al-Qurazi. (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1582)   

رُمِيَ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَطَعُوا أَكْحَلَهُ فَحَسَمَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالنَّارِ فَانْتَفَخَتْ يَدُهُ فَتَرَكَهُ فَنَزَفَ الدَّمُ فَحَسَمَهُ أُخْرَى فَانْتَفَخَتْ يَدُهُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُخْرِجْ نَفْسِي حَتَّى تَقَرَّ عَيْنِي مِنْ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ فَاسْتَمْسَكَ عِرْقُهُ فَمَا قَطَرَ قَطْرَةً حَتَّى نَزَلُوا عَلَى حُكْمِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ تُقْتَلُ رِجَالُهُمْ وَتُسْتَحْيَى نِسَاؤُهُمْ وَذَرَارِيُّهُمْ فَغَنِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَصَبْتَ حُكْمَ اللَّهِ فِيهِمْ وَكَانُوا أَرْبَعَ مِائَةٍ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ قَتْلِهِمْ انْفَتَقَ عِرْقُهُ فَمَاتَ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a murdered woman during one of his journeys, so he forbade killing women and children."  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَأَى فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ امْرَأَةً مَقْتُولَةً فَنَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ النِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the captives of the polytheists who are kept overnight, among whom are women and children. He replied, 'They are of them.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنِ الذَّرَارِيِّ مِنْ دُورِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يُبَيَّتُونَ وَفِيهِمُ النِّسَاءُ وَالصِّبْيَانُ فَقَالَ «هُمْ مِنْهُمْ»  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , there are three hadiths: He said, "I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the children of the polytheists whether we should kill them along with their parents. He said, 'Yes, for they are from them.' Then he forbade it on the day of Hunayn and said, 'There is no immunity except for Allah and His Messenger.' So I halted a wild donkey for him, which was dedicated to idols, but he rejected it. He noticed that on my face and said, 'We only rejected it because it is prohibited.'"  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثَةَ أَحَادِيثَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَوْلَادِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَنْ نَقْتُلَهُمْ مَعَهُمْ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ نَهَى عَنْهُمْ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا حِمَى إِلَّا لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ» قَالَ فَصِدْتُ لَهُ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ بِالْأَبْوَاءِ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ فَرَدَّ ذَلِكَ فَعَرَفَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّا لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا أَنَّا حُرُمٌ»  

[Machine] "I was among those who Saad bin Muadh made a judgement about. They had doubts about the safety of their descendants, whether it was from me or from the fighters. So they looked at my belly and did not find any signs of pregnancy. So I was cast into the tribe, and I was not killed."  

«كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ حَكَمَ فِيهِمْ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَشَكُّوا فِيَّ أَمِنَ الذُّرِّيَّةِ أَنَا أَمْ مِنَ الْمُقَاتِلَةِ فَنَظَرُوا إِلَى عَانَتِي فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهَا نَبَتَتْ فَأُلْقِيتُ فِي الذُّرِّيَّةِ وَلَمْ أُقْتَلْ»  

[Machine] "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a battle, and at the forefront of the people was Khalid bin Al-Walid. Suddenly, they came across a dead woman on the road and they were amazed by her physical appearance, as she had been struck by the attack at the forefront. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ approached her and stood over her, saying, 'Look, she was not fighting.' Then he said, 'Catch up with Khalid and do not kill any offspring or a captured person.'"  

«كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزَاةٍ وَعَلَى مُقَدِّمَةِ النَّاسِ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ مَقْتُولَةٌ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ فَجَعَلُوا يَتَعَجَّبُونَ مِنْ خَلْقِهَا قَدْ أَصَابَتْهَا الْمُقَدِّمَةُ فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ » هَاهْ مَا كَانَتْ هَذِهِ تُقَاتِلُ « ثُمَّ قَالَ » أَدْرِكْ خَالِدًا فَلَا تَقْتُلُوا ذُرِّيَّةً وَلَا عَسِيفًا «  

Are you not aware that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had observed:" He who died in protecting his property is a martyr." (Using translation from Muslim 141a)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ « مَنْ قُتِلَ دُونَ مَالِهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ وَمَنْ ظَلَمَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ شِبْرًا طُوِّقَهُ مِنْ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ»  

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a battle when he passed by a dead woman and people were gathered around her. He said, "This woman was not fighting, so tell Khalid not to kill children or women."  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزَاةٍ فَمَرَّ بِامْرَأَةٍ مَقْتُولَةٍ وَالنَّاسُ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ «مَا كَانَتْ هَذِهِ لِتُقَاتِلَ أَدْرِكْ خَالِدًا فَقُلْ لَهُ لَا تَقْتُلْ ذُرِّيَّةً وَلَا عَسِيفًا»  

[Machine] "I remember when I went out with the youth to receive the Prophet ﷺ as he arrived from Tabuk to Thaniyat al-Wadaa."  

«أَذْكُرُ أَنِّي خَرَجْتُ مَعَ الصِّبْيَانِ نَتَلَقَّى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَقْدَمَهُ مِنْ تَبُوكَ إِلَى ثَنِيَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ»
