[Machine] When this verse was revealed to the Prophet ﷺ , they came to him and fell on their knees, saying, "We cannot bear it, we cannot endure the burden of the tasks imposed on us, which are beyond our capacity." So, Allah revealed the verse: "The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], 'We make no distinction between any of His messengers.' And they say, 'We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination.'" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not say as the People of the Scripture said before you, 'We hear and we disobey,' but rather say, 'We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination.'" So, Allah revealed the verse: "Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. 'Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us.'" He said, "Yes." They said, "Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people." He said, "Yes."  

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِنْ تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُمْ بِهِ اللَّهُ فَيَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَاللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ} أَتَوَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَجَثَوْا عَلَى الرُّكَبِ وَقَالُوا لَا نُطِيقُ لَا نَسْتَطِيعُ كُلِّفْنَا مِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا لَا نُطِيقُ وَلَا نَسْتَطِيعُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ} فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَا تَقُولُوا كَمَا قَالَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا بَلْ قُولُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا} قَالَ «نَعَمْ» {رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا} قَالَ نَعَمْ {رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا أَنْتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ} قَالَ نَعَمْ  

[Machine] The woman from the Ansar used to barely have a son to live for. She would vow that if she had a son who survived, she would make him Jewish. But when the Banu Nadir were expelled, among them were some people from the sons of the Ansar. So the Ansar said, "O Messenger of Allah, these are our children." So Allah revealed this verse, "There is no compulsion in religion." Sa'id bin Jubayr said, "So whoever wanted to join them could do so, and whoever wanted to enter Islam could do so."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ} قَالَ كَانَتَ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لَا يَكَادُ يَعِيشُ لَهَا وَلَدٌ فَتَحْلِفُ لَئِنْ عَاشَ لَهَا وَلَدٌ لَتُهَوِّدَنَّهُ فَلَمَّا أُجْلِيَتْ بَنُو النَّضِيرِ إِذَا فِيهِمْ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَبْنَاؤُنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ «{لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ} » قَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ فَمَنْ شَاءَ لَحِقَ بِهِمْ وَمَنْ شَاءَ دَخَلَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one night in Ramadan and prayed in the mosque. Some men prayed behind him. The people spoke about it and more of them gathered. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out again and they prayed behind him. The people talked about it again. The people of the mosque gathered on the third night. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and they prayed behind him. On the fourth night, the mosque was crowded, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not go out to them except for the Fajr prayer. After the Fajr prayer, he faced the people and made the testimony of faith, then he said, "It was not hidden from me your presence, but I feared that it would be made obligatory upon you, and you would be unable to fulfill it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ encouraged them to stand in prayer during the month of Ramadan without imposing it on them. He said, "Whoever stands in prayer during Ramadan out of faith and seeking reward, all his previous sins will be forgiven." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out, and this practice continued during the caliphates of Abu Bakr, Umar, and thereafter.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ لَيْلَةً فِي رَمَضَانَ فَصَلَّى فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلَّى رِجَالٌ وَرَاءَهُ بِصَلَاتِهِ فَأَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ فَتَحَدَّثُوا بِذَلِكَ فَاجْتَمَعَ أَكْثَرَهُمْ مِنْهُمْ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الثَّانِيَةَ فَصَلَّوْا بِصَلَاتِهِ فَأَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ فَتَحَدَّثُوا بِذَلِكَ فَاجْتَمَعَ أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ لَيْلَةَ الثَّالِثَةِ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّوْا بِصَلَاتِهِ فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الرَّابِعَةُ عَجَزَ الْمَسْجِدُ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَّا لِصَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ فَلَمَّا قُضِيَتْ صَلَاةُ الْفَجْرِ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَتَشَهَّدَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَخْفَ عَلَيَّ مَكَانُكُمْ وَلَكِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ تُفْرَضَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَتَقْعُدُوا عَنْهَا» وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُرَغِّبُهُمْ فِي قِيَامِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَأْمُرَهُمْ بِقَضَاءِ أَمْرٍ فِيهِ يَقُولُ «مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ» فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالْأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ كَانَ الْأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فِي خِلَافَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ خِلَافَةِ عُمَرَ رِضْوُانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The pen is lifted from three: from the sleeper until he wakes up, from the child until he reaches puberty, and from the insane until he regains consciousness."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رُفِعَ الْقَلَمُ عَنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ عَنِ النَّائِمِ حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَ وَعَنِ الْغُلَامِ حَتَّى يَحْتَلِمَ وَعَنِ الْمَجْنُونِ حَتَّى يُفِيقَ»  

Ibn Abbas said: A lunatic woman passed by Ali ibn AbuTalib. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition to the same effect as Uthman mentioned. This version has: Do you not remember that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has said: There are three whose actions are not recorded: a lunatic whose mind is deranged till he is restored to consciousness, a sleeper till he awakes, and a boy till he reaches puberty? (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4401)   

وَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَتَرْجُمُ هَذِهِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَوَمَا تَذْكُرُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «رُفِعَ الْقَلَمُ عَنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ عَنِ الْمَجْنُونِ الْمَغْلُوبِ عَلَى عَقْلِهِ وَعَنِ النَّائِمِ حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَ وَعَنِ الصَّبِيِّ حَتَّى يَحْتَلِمَ»؟ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ فَخَلَّى عَنْهَا  

she took her child by his arm and lifted him from her litter at the camel. She said Messenger of Allah (SWAS) can this (child) be credited with having performed Hajj. He replied Yes, and you will have a reward. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1736)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَدَرَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ بِالرَّوْحَاءِ اسْتَقْبَلَهُ رَكْبٌ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ «مَنِ الْقَوْمُ؟ » قَالُوا الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَمَنْ أَنْتُمْ؟ قَالَ «رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ» فَفَزِعَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُمْ فَرَفَعَتْ صَبِيًّا لَهَا مِنْ مِحَفَّةٍ وَأَخَذَتْ بِعَضَلَتِهِ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ لِهَذَا حَجٌّ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَلَكِ أَجْرٌ»  

[Machine] "A man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we find within ourselves things that we do not like to speak about, and we have thoughts that the sun rises upon.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Have you really found that?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'That is clear faith.'"  

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنَجِدُ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا أَشْيَاءَ مَا نُحِبُّ أَنْ نَتَكَلَّمَ بِهَا وَإِنَّ لَنَا مَا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ ﷺ «قَدْ وَجَدْتُمْ ذَلِكَ؟ » قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «ذَاكَ صَرِيحُ الْإِيمَانِ»  

[Machine] On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, he said: "They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we find within ourselves something that it is more beloved to us than speaking about it.' He said, 'That is the pure essence of faith.'"  

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنَجِدُ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا شَيْئًا لَأَنْ يَكُونَ أَحَدُنَا حُمَمَةً أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ قَالَ «ذَاكَ مَحْضُ الْإِيمَانِ»  

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah! one of us has thoughts of such nature that he would rather be reduced to charcoal than speak about them. He said: Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great. Praise be to Allah Who has reduced the guile of the devil to evil prompting. Ibn Qudamah said "reduced his matter" instead of "reduced his guile". Ibn Qudamah said "reduced his matter" instead of "reduced his guile". (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5112)   

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَجِدُ فِي نَفْسِهِ الشَّيْءَ لَأَنْ يَكُونَ حُمَمَةً أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ فَقَالَ ﷺ «اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَدَّ أَمْرَهُ إِلَى الْوَسْوَسَةِ»  

[Machine] They said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed one of us may talk about something that seems great to us, and we feel shy to speak about it." He said, " Have you found it? That is the apparent expression of faith."  

قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيُحَدِّثُ نَفْسَهُ بِالشَّيْءِ يَعْظُمُ عَلَى أَحَدِنَا أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ قَالَ «أَوَقَدْ وَجَدْتُمُوهُ؟ ذَاكَ صَرِيحُ الْإِيمَانِ»  

[Machine] We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about a man who finds something that fell from the sky and is taken away by birds; does he love it more than speaking? He said, "That is the purest form of faith."  

سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَجِدُ الشَّيْءَ لَوْ خَرَّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَتَخْطَفَهُ الطَّيْرُ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ قَالَ «ذَاكَ صَرِيحُ الْإِيمَانِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The devil will never stop coming to one of you and asking, 'Who created the heavens and the earth?' The person will say, 'Allah did.' Then the devil will ask, 'Who created you?' The person will say, 'Allah did.' Then the devil will ask, 'Who created Allah?' When one of you senses this, let them say, 'I believe in Allah and His messengers.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَنْ يَدَعَ الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أَحَدَكُمْ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ؟ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ فَيَقُولُ فَمَنْ خَلَقَكَ؟ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ خَلَقَ اللَّهَ؟ فَإِذَا حَسَّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِذَلِكَ فَلْيَقُلْ آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَبِرُسُلِهِ»
