"Whoever keeps a horse for the cause of Allah out of faith in Allah and believing the promise of Allah, its feed, water, urine and dung will all count as Hasanat in the balance of his deeds." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3582)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنِ احْتَبَسَ فَرَسًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِيمَانًا بِاللَّهِ وَتَصْدِيقًا لِمَوْعُودِهِ كَانَ شِبَعُهُ وَرِيُّهُ وَرَوْثُهُ حَسَنَاتٍ فِي مِيزَانِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is always goodness in horses." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3645)  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا كَبْشَةَ صَاحِبَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَقُولُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْخَيْلُ مَعْقُودٌ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ وَأَهْلُهَا مُعَانُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَالْمُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهَا كَالْبَاسِطِ يَدَهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The example of the one who spends in the cause of Allah is like the one who holds back his horse from moving fast." We asked Ma'mar, "What does it mean to hold back the horse from moving fast?" He replied, "It means to give with both hands."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَثَلُ الْمُنْفِقِ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ كَالْمُتَكَفِّفِ بِالصَّدَقَةِ» فَقُلْنَا لِمَعْمَرٍ مَا الْمُتَكَفِّفُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ؟ قَالَ «الَّذِي يُعْطَى بِكَفَّيْهِ»  

“The best of horses are those that are deep black, with a blaze on the forehead, white marks on the legs and white nose and upper lip, and with no whiteness on the right foreleg. If not deep-black, then reddish-brown, with these markings.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2789)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُ الْخَيْلِ الْأَدْهَمُ الْأَقْرَحُ الْأَرْثَمُ الْمُحَجَّلُ ثَلَاثًا طَلْقُ الْيَدِ الْيُمْنَى» قَالَ يَزِيدُ «فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَدْهَمَ فَكُمَيْتٌ عَلَى هَذِهِ الشِّيَةِ»  

It has been narrated on the authority of Abn Huraira that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to dislike the Shikal horse. (Using translation from Muslim 1875a)  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَكْرَهُ الشِّكَالَ مِنَ الْخَيْلِ»  

It has been narrated on the authority of Abn Huraira that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to dislike the Shikal horse. (Using translation from Muslim 1875a)   

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَكْرَهُ الشِّكَالَ فِي الْخَيْلِ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "Whoever tethers a horse, the reward of seventy horses will be recorded for him, which will be carried for the sake of Allah. And if it does not follow, the reward of one horse that was carried for the sake of Allah will be recorded for him."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ أَطْرَقَ فَرَسًا فَعَقَبَ لَهُ الْفَرَسُ كَانَ لَهُ كَأَجْرِ سَبْعِينَ فَرَسًا حُمِلَ عَلَيْهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ لَمْ تُعْقِبْ كَانَ لَهُ كَأَجْرِ فَرَسٍ حُمِلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ»  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ named the female horse a mare."  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَمَّى الْأُنْثَى مِنَ الْخَيْلِ الْفَرَسَ»  

[Machine] We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the Battle of Tabuk, and midday exerted intense effort. So they complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the fatigue they were experiencing. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ showed compassion towards them and said, "Proceed in the name of Allah." He then blew on their faces and said, "O Allah, lighten the burden for them in Your cause, for You bear the burden of the strong and the weak, the moist and the dry, on land and sea." Fadalah said, "When we reached the city (Madina), its crises began to surround us. So I said, 'This is the supplication of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for the strong and the weak. So what about the moist and the dry?' When we reached Sham (Syria), we engaged in the Battle of Quabrus. I saw the ships, but I didn't know their function until I remembered the supplication of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."  

غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ غَزْوَةَ تَبُوكَ فَجَهَدَ الظَّهْرُ جَهْدًا شَدِيدًا فَشَكَوْا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا بِظَهْرِهِمْ مِنَ الْجَهْدِ فَتَحَيَّنَ بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَضِيقًا سَارَ النَّاسُ فِيهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «مُرُّوا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ» فَجَعَلَ يَنْفُخُ بِظَهْرِهِمْ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «اللَّهُمَّ احْمِلْ عَلَيْهَا فِي سَبِيلِكِ فَإِنَّكَ تَحْمِلُ عَلَى الْقَوِيِّ وَالضَّعِيفِ وَالرَّطْبِ وَالْيَابِسِ فِي الْبِرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ» قَالَ فَضَالَةُ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَنَا الْمَدِينَةَ جَعَلَتْ تُنَازِعُنَا أَزِمَّتُهَا فَقُلْتُ هَذِهِ دَعْوَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْقَوِيِّ وَالضَّعِيفِ فَمَا بَالُ الرَّطْبِ وَالْيَابِسِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الشَّامَ غَزَوْنَا غَزْوَةَ قُبْرُسَ وَرَأَيْتُ السُّفُنَ وَمَا تَدْخُلُ عَرَفْتُ دَعْوَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ *  

A mule was given to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as a gift, and we said: O Messenger of Allah, what if we mate donkeys with our mares, then we will have something like this? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “That is only done by those who do not know.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 785)   

أُهْدِيَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَغْلَةٌ فَأَعْجَبَتْهُ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنْزَيْنَا الْحُمُرَ عَلَى خَيْلِنَا فَجَاءَتْ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ»  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ protected the war horses for the Muslims."  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ حَمَى النَّقِيعَ لِخَيْلِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "There is no protection (defense) except for Allah and His Messenger."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا حِمَى إِلَّا لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no sanctuary except for Allah and His Messenger."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا حِمَى إِلَّا لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ»  

‘Abd Allah bin Umar said “The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ held race between the horses which had been made lean by training from Al Hafya’. The goal was Thaniyyat Al Wada’ and he held a race between the horses Banu Zuraiq and ‘Abd Allaah was one of the racers. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2575)   

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَابِقَ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ الَّتِي قَدْ ضُمِّرَتْ مِنَ الْحَفْيَاءِ إِلَى ثَنِيَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَكَانَ أَمَدُهَا ثَنِيَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ وَسَابَقَ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ الَّتِي لَمْ تُضَمَّرْ مِنَ الثَّنِيَّةِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ» قَالَ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فِيمَنْ سَابِقَ بِهَا «  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ arranged for the Mudammar among horses to race from Al-Hafiya' to Thaniyyah Al-Wada', between which was a distance of six miles. And for whatever horse was not among the Mudammar, they raced from Thaniya Al-Wada' to the Masjid of Banu Zuraiq, between which was a distance of a mile. I was among those who raced, and my horse jumped along with me over a wall." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1699)   

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَجْرَى الْخَيْلَ الْمُضَمَّرَةَ مِنَ الْحَفْيَاءِ إِلَى ثَنِيَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَبَيْنَهُمَا سِتَّةُ أَمْيَالٍ وَمَا لَمْ تُضَمَّرْ مِنْ ثَنِيَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ وَبَيْنَهُمَا مِيلٌ وَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ أَجْرَى»  

The Prophet ﷺ used to hold a race between horses and kept the one in the fifth year at a long distance. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2577)   

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَبَّقَ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ وَفَضَّلَ الْقُرَّحَ فِي الْغَايَةِ»  

[Machine] Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ preceded between the horses and established a lead between them. He made a space between them and said, "There is no competition except in a racecourse or in a battle."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَابِقَ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُمَا سَبْقًا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُمَا مُحَلِّلًا وَقَالَ «لَا سَبْقَ إِلَّا فِي حَافِرٍ أَوْ نَصْلٍ»  

"There should be no awards (for victory in a competition) except for arrows, camels or horses." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3585)   

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا سَبَقَ إِلَّا فِي خُفٍّ أَوْ حَافِرٍ أَوْ نَصْلٍ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ passed me, so I rushed ahead of him, and we stayed together until my flesh became tired. Then he passed me again, so I rushed ahead of him. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "This is how it should be."  

سَابَقَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَسَبَقْتُهُ فَلَبِثْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا أَرْهَقَنِي اللَّحْمُ سَابَقَنِي فَسَبَقَنِي فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هَذِهِ بِتِلْكَ»  

‘Abd Allah bin Umar said “The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ held race between the horses which had been made lean by training from Al Hafya’. The goal was Thaniyyat Al Wada’ and he held a race between the horses Banu Zuraiq and ‘Abd Allaah was one of the racers. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2575)  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَابِقَ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ الَّتِي قَدْ ضُمِّرَتْ مِنَ الْحَفْيَاءِ إِلَى ثَنِيَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَسَابَقَ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ الَّتِي لَمْ تُضَمَّرْ مِنَ الثَّنِيَّةِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فِيمَنْ سَابَقَ بِهَا»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by some people from the tribe of Aslam practicing archery. He said, "O children of Ishmael! Throw (arrows), for your father was an archer. I am on the side of Bani so-andso," meaning one of the two teams. The other team stopped throwing, whereupon the Prophet ﷺ said, "What has happened to them?" They replied, "How shall we throw while you are with Bani so-andso?" He said, "Throw for I am with all of you." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3507)  

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى قَوْمٍ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ يَتَنَاضَلُونَ بِالسُّوقِ فَقَالَ «ارْمُوا بَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ فَإِنَّ أَبَاكُمْ كَانَ رَامِيًا وَأَنَا مَعَ بَنِي فُلَانٍ لِأَحَدِ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ» فَأَمْسَكُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ فَقَالَ «مَا لَكُمُ ارْمُوا» قَالُوا كَيْفَ نَرْمِي وَأَنْتَ مَعَ بَنِي فُلَانٍ؟ قَالَ «ارْمُوا وَأَنَا مَعَكُمْ كُلُّكُمْ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ went out and a group of people accepted Islam. He said, "Throw (stones) at the Banu Isma'il, for your father was a skilled archer. Throw, and I am with the son of al-Adra." So the people restrained themselves and said, "Who were you with? He defeated you." He said, "Throw, and I am with all of you."  

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَسْلَمُ يَرْمُونَ فَقَالَ «ارْمُوا بَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ فَإِنَّ أَبَاكُمْ كَانَ رَامِيًا وَارْمُوا وَأَنَا مَعَ ابْنِ الْأَدْرَعِ» فَأَمْسَكَ الْقَوْمُ قِسِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا مَنْ كُنْتَ مَعَهُ غَلَبَ قَالَ «ارْمُوا وَأَنَا مَعَكُمْ كُلُّكُمْ»  

[Machine] From Jabir: "They used to pray Maghrib (evening prayer) with the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم and then they would go astray."

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Lands shall be thrown open to you and Allah will suffice you (against your enemies), but none of you should give up playing with his arrows. (Using translation from Muslim 1918a)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «سَتُفْتَحُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَرَضُونَ وَيَكْفِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فَلَا يَعْجِزْ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَلْهُوَ بِأَسْهُمِهِ»  

Abu Bashir Al Ansari said that he was with the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ on one of his journeys. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺsent a messenger. The narrator ‘Abd Allah bin Abu Bakr said “I think he said while the people were sleeping. No necklace of bowstring or anything else must be left on a Camels’ neck, must be cut off. The narrator Malik said “I think this was due to evil eye.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2552)  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ قَالَ فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَسُولًا قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَحَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَالنَّاسُ فِي مَبِيتِهِمْ «لَا تَبْقَيَنَّ فِي رَقَبَةِ بَعِيرٍ قِلَادَةٌ مِنْ وَتَرٍ إِلَّا قُطِعَتْ» قَالَ مَالِكٌ «أَرَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْعَيْنِ»

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Verily, the caravan that has a bell is not accompanied by angels.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْعِيرَ الَّتِي فِيهَا الْجَرَسُ لَا تَصْحَبُهَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ»  

[Machine] The translation is: "Narrated Al-Qa'nyy: Khalid bin Al-Harith narrated to us, who narrated to us Sa'id from Qatadah, from Anas, that the Prophet ﷺ ordered to cut off the bells."

The bell is the musical instrument of the Satan. (Using translation from Muslim 2114)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْجَرَسُ مِزْمَارُ الشَّيْطَانِ»

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think about poetry?" He replied, "Verily, the believer strives with his sword and his tongue, and I swear by the One in whose hand is my soul, it is as if you are showering them with nobility."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَرَى فِي الشِّعْرِ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُجَاهِدُ بِسَيْفِهِ وَلِسَانِهِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَكَأَنَّمَا تَنْضَحُونَهُمْ بِالنَّبْلِ»

‘Uqabah bin Amir Al Juhani said “I heard the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ recite when he was on the pulpit “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power. Beware, strength is shooting, beware strength is shooting, beware strength is shooting.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2514)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «وَأَعِدُّوا لَهُمْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ أَلَا إِنَّ الْقُوَّةَ الرَّمْيُ أَلَا إِنَّ الْقُوَّةَ الرَّمْيُ أَلَا إِنَّ الْقُوَّةَ الرَّمْيُ»  

“When the Prophet was expelled from Makkah, Abu Bakr said to him: ‘They have driven out their Prophet, verily to Allah we belong and to Him we return. They are surely doomed.’ Then it was revealed: ‘Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those (believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged; and surely, Allah is able to give them (believers) victory.’ Then I knew that there would be fighting.” Ibn Abbas said: “This is the first Verse that was revealed concerning fighting.” (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3085)  

لَمَّا خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ «أَخْرَجُوا نَبِيَّهُمْ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ لَيَهْلِكُنَّ فَنَزَلَتْ {أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقَاتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِيرٌ} » قَالَ «فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ» قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «فَهِيَ أَوَّلُ آيَةٍ نَزَلَتْ فِي الْقِتَالِ»  

"We were in a Roman city, when a large column of Romans came out to us. So about the same number or more of the Muslims went towards them. The commander of the people of Egypt was 'Uqbah bin 'Amir, and the commenter of the (our) group was Fadalah bin 'Ubaid. One man among the Muslims reached the Roman line until he entered amidst them, so the people started screaming: 'Subhan Allah! He has thrown himself into destruction!' Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari said: 'O you people! You give this interpretation for this Ayah, while this Ayah was only revealed about us, the people among the Ansar, when Allah made Islam might, and increased its supporters. Some of us secretly said to each other, outside of the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: "Our wealth has been ruined, and Allah has strengthened Islam, and increased its supporters, so if we tend to our wealth then what we lost of it shall be revitalized for us." So Allah, Blessed and Most High, revealed to His Prophet ﷺ, rebuking what we said: 'And spend in the cause of Allah, and do not throw yourselves into destruction. (2:195)' So the destruction was tending to the wealth and maintaining it.' Abu Ayyub did not cease traveling in Allah's cause, until he was buried in the land of the Romans." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2972)   

«كُنَّا بِمَدِينَةِ الرُّومِ فَأَخْرَجُوا إِلَيْنَا صَفًّا عَظِيمًا مِنَ الرُّومِ وَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِثْلُهُ أَوْ أَكْثَرُ وَعَلَى أَهْلِ مِصْرَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَحَمَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى صَفِّ الرُّومِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ فِيهِمْ فَصَاحَ بِهِ النَّاسُ وَقَالُوا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ تُلْقِي بِيَدِكَ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ فَقَامَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّكُمْ تَتَأَوَّلُونَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ عَلَى هَذَا التَّأْوِيلِ إِنَّمَا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِينَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِنَّا لَمَّا أَعَزَّ اللَّهُ الْإِسْلَامَ وَكَثَّرَ نَاصِرِيهِ قُلْنَا بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ سِرًّا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَمْوَالَنَا قَدْ ضَاعَتْ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَعَزَّ الْإِسْلَامَ وَكَثَّرَ نَاصِرِيهِ فَلَوْ أَقَمْنَا فِي أَمْوَالِنَا فَأَصْلَحْنَا مَا ضَاعَ مِنَّا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ ﷺ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْنَا مَا قُلْنَا {وَأَنْفِقُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَا تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ وَأَحْسِنُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ} فَكَانَتِ التَّهْلُكَةُ الْإِقَامَةَ فِي أَمْوَالِنَا وَإِصْلَاحَهَا وَتَرْكَنَا الْغَزْوَ قَالَ » وَمَا زَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ شَاخِصًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى دُفِنَ بِأَرْضِ الرُّومِ «  

[Machine] We were with the Prophet ﷺ , and Allah revealed to him. And whenever revelation came to him, his eyes remained open and his hearing and heart would be focused on what Allah was conveying. We used to notice this about him. So he said to the scribe, "Write: 'Not equal are those believers who sit [at home] and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah'." Then a blind man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is our fault?" So Allah revealed to him [the Prophet], and we told the blind man that it was a revelation for the Prophet. And the blind man was afraid that something from the revelation might be revealed upon him, so he remained standing and said, "I seek refuge in the anger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." So the Prophet ﷺ said to the scribe, "Write: 'Except for those who are disabled'"  

كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ إِذَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ دَامَ بَصَرُهُ مَفْتُوحَةٌ عَيْنَاهُ وَفَرَغَ سَمْعُهُ وَقَلْبُهُ لِمَا يَأْتِيهِ مِنَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَكُنَّا نَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ لِلْكَاتِبِ «اكْتُبْ {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} {وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ} فَقَامَ الْأَعْمَى فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا ذَنْبُنَا؟ فَأُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْنَا لِلْأَعْمَى إِنَّهُ يُنَزَّلُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَخَافَ أَنْ يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ فَبَقِيَ قَائِمًا وَيَقُولُ أَعُوذُ بِغَضَبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِلْكَاتِبِ » اكْتُبْ {غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ} «  

[Machine] I was writing in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he said, "Write: 'Those believers who stay behind are not equal to those who strive in the cause of Allah.'" Abdullah ibn Umm Maktum came and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I love to fight in the cause of Allah, but I have lost my sight since a long time ago." Zaid ibn Thabit said, "So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed his hand on mine and pressed it on his thigh until I felt the weight, fearing it may dislocate. Then, when the revelation was removed from him, he said, "Write: 'Those believers who stay behind are not equal to those who strive in the cause of Allah, except for those who are disabled, and those who strive in the cause of Allah.'"  

كُنْتُ أَكْتُبُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «اكْتُبْ {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} {وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ} » قَالَ فَجَاءَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَبِي مِنَ الزَّمَانَةِ مَا تَرَى قَدْ ذَهَبَ بَصَرِي قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فَثَقُلَتْ فَخِذُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى فَخِذِي حَتَّى خَشِيتُ أَنْ تَرَفَّضَ فَلَمَّا سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ قَالَ «اكْتُبْ {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ} »  

[Machine] The Prophetﷺ said: "Indeed, there are people in Medina who were prevented by illness."  

النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَقَدْ شَهِدَكُمْ أَقْوَامٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ حَبَسَهُمُ الْمَرَضُ»  

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade traveling with the Qur’an to the land of the enemy, lest the enemy gets hold of it. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2879)  

«نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُسَافَرَ بِالْقُرْآنِ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْعَدُوِّ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَنَالَهُ الْعَدُوُّ»  

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade traveling with the Qur’an to the land of the enemy, lest the enemy gets hold of it. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2879)  

«نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُسَافَرَ بِالْقُرْآنِ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْعَدُوِّ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَنَالَهُ الْعَدُوُّ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: The best number of companions is four, the best number in expeditions four hundred, and the best number in armies four thousand; and twelve thousand will not be overcome through smallness of numbers. Abu Dawud said: What is correct is that this tradition is mursal (i.e. the link of the Companion is missing). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2611)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «خَيْرُ الصَّحَابَةِ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَخَيْرُ السَّرَايَا أَرْبَعُ مِائَةٍ وَخَيْرُ الْجُيُوشِ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ وَلَنْ يُغْلَبَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا مِنْ قِلَّةٍ»  

[Machine] "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the day of Uhud, when they had exhausted him and he was with seven of the Ansar and a man from the Quraysh: 'Whoever turns them away from us will be my companion in Paradise.' So a man from the Ansar stood up and fought until he was killed, then another one stood up and fought until he was killed. This continued until all seven were saying the same thing, and they were all killed. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Our companions were not given their due. O Allah, if You will, You can be worshipped on earth.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ لَمَّا أَرْهَقُوهُ وَهُوَ فِي سَبْعَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَرَجُلٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ «مَنْ يَرُدُّهُمْ عَنَّا فَهُوَ رَفِيقِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَامَ آخَرُ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ السَّبْعَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا أَنْصَفْنَا أَصْحَابَنَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَشَأْ لَا تُعْبَدُ فِي الْأَرْضِ»  

On the day he returned from the Battle of Ahzab, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made for us an announcement that nobody would say his Zuhr prayer but in the quarters of Banu Quraiza (Some) people, being afraid that the time for prayer would expire, said their prayers before reaching the street of Banu Quraiza. The others said: We will not say our prayer except where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has ordered us to say it even if the time expires. When he learned of the difference in the view of the two groups of the people, the Messenger of Allah (may peace be tipon him) did not blame anyone from the two groups. (Using translation from Muslim 1770)  

نَادَى فِينَا مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ انْصَرَفَ عَنِ الْأَحْزَابِ أَلَا لَا يُصَلِّيَنَّ أَحَدٌ الظُّهْرَ إِلَّا فِي بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ فَتَخَوَّفَ نَاسٌ فَوْتَ الْوَقْتِ فَصَلَّوْا دُونَ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُونَ لَا نُصَلِّي إِلَّا حَيْثُ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِنْ فَاتَنَا الْوَقْتُ قَالَ «فَمَا عَنَّفَ وَاحِدًا مِنَ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ»  

[Machine] The translation into English is: "For me, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'When my messengers come to you, give them or return to them thirty camels or thirty shields.' I said, 'Are they also deserving if they are naked, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Yes.'"  

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا أَتَتْكَ رُسُلِي فَأَعْطِهِمْ أَوِ ادْفَعْ إِلَيْهِمْ ثَلَاثِينَ بَعِيرًا أَوْ ثَلَاثِينَ دِرْعًا» قَالَ قُلْتُ الْعَارِيَةُ مُؤَدَّاةٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ went out one day towards Badr and started consulting the people. Abu Bakr then pointed at him with his hand, and the Prophet ﷺ consulted them. Umar also pointed at him with his hand, and the Prophet ﷺ consulted them. Then the Ansar said, "By Allah, he does not intend anyone other than us." A man from the Ansar said, "I think you are consulting and they are giving you advice, but we will not say as the Children of Israel said to Moses, 'Go, you and your Lord, and fight!'" However, by the One who sent you with the truth, if you were to strike their livers until you reached the mountain passes, we would still be with you.  

خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَ سَارَ إِلَى بَدْرٍ فَجَعَلَ يَسْتَشِيرُ النَّاسَ فَأَشَارَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَشَارَهُمْ فَأَشَارَ عَلَيْهِ عُمَرُ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَجَعَلَ يَسْتَشِيرُ ﷺ فَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ وَاللَّهِ مَا يُرِيدُ غَيْرَنَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَرَاكَ تَسْتَشِيرُ فَيُشِيرُونَ عَلَيْكَ وَلَا نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ {اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلَا} وَلَكِنْ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَوْ ضَرَبْتَ أَكْبَادَهَا حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ بَرْكَ الْغِمَادِ كُنَّا مَعَكَ  

Anas said “The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ called on his Companions and they proceeded towards Badr. Suddenly they found the watering Camels of the Quraish, there was among them a black slave of Banu Al Hajjaj. The Companions of the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ seized him and began to ask “Where is Abu Sufyan?” He said “I swear by Allaah, I do not know anything about him, but this is the Quraish who have come here, among them are Abu Jahl, ‘Utbah, Shaibah the two sons of Rabi’ah and Umayyah bin Khalaf. When he aid this to them, they beat him and he began to say “Leave me, leave me. I shall tell you. When they left him he said “I know nothing about Abu Sufyan, but this is the Quraish who have come (here), among them are Abu Jahl, ‘Utbah, Shaibah the two sons of Rab’iah and Umayyah bin Khalaf who have come here. The Prophet ﷺ was praying and hearing all that (dialogue). When he finished, he said “By Him in Whose hand my soul is, you beat him when he speaks the truth to you and you leave him when he tells a lie. This is the Quraish who have come here to defend Abu Sufyan. Anas said, The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “This will be the place of falling of so and so tomorrow and he placed his hand on the ground. This will be the place of falling of so and so tomorrow and he put his hand on the ground. And this will be the place of falling of so and so tomorrow and he put his hand on the ground. He (Ansas) said “By Him in Whose hand my soul is, no one fell beyond the place of the hand of the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ, The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ ordered for them, and they were caught by their feet and dragged and thrown in a well at Badr. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2681)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَاوَرَ النَّاسَ أَيَّامَ بَدْرٍ فَتَكَلَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَضَافَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ عُمَرُ فَضَافَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِيَّانَا تُرِيدُ لَوْ أَمَرْتَنَا أَنْ نَخُوضَ الْبَحْرَ لَخُضْنَاهُ أَوْ نَضْرِبَ أَكْبَادَهَا إِلَى بَرْكِ الْغِمَادِ لَفَعَلْنَا فَنَدَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَصْحَابَهُ وَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى بَدْرٍ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِرَوَايَا لِقُرَيْشٍ فِيهَا عَبْدٌ أَسْوَدٌ لِبَنِي الْحَجَّاجِ فَأَخَذَهُ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَعَلُوا يَسْأَلُونَهُ أَيْنَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ وَأَيْنَ تَرَكْتَهُ؟ فَيَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ مَا لِي بِأَبِي سُفْيَانَ عِلْمٌ هَذِهِ قُرَيْشٌ أَبُو جَهْلِ بْنُ هِشَامٍ وَعُتْبَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ وَشَيْبَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ وَأُمَيَّةُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ فَإِذَا قَالَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ ضَرَبُوهُ فَيَقُولُ دَعُونِي دَعُونِي أُخْبِرُكُمْ فَإِذَا تَرَكُوهُ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ مَا لِي بِأَبِي سُفْيَانَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ وَلَكِنْ هَذِهِ قُرَيْشٌ قَدْ أَقْبَلَتْ فِيهِمْ أَبُو جَهْلٍ وَعُتْبَةُ وَشَيْبَةُ ابْنَا رَبِيعَةَ وَأُمَيَّةُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ قَدْ أَقْبَلُوا وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فَانْصَرَفَ فَقَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّكُمْ لَتَضْرِبُونَهُ إِذَا صَدَقَكُمْ وَتَدَعُونَهُ إِذَا كَذَبَكُمْ هَذِهِ قُرَيْشٌ قَدْ أَقْبَلَتْ تَمْنَعُ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ» قَالَ فَأَوْمَأَ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَقَالَ «هَذَا مَصْرَعُ فُلَانٍ غَدًا وَهَذَا مَصْرَعُ فُلَانٍ غَدًا» قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا أَمَاطَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ مَصْرَعِهِ
