[Machine] I heard the son of Abi Aufa saying, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Give glad tidings to Khadijah of a house in Paradise made of reeds, where there is no noise or fatigue.'"  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى يَقُولُ «بَشَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَدِيجَةَ بِبَيْتٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ قَصَبٍ لَا سَخَبَ فِيهِ وَلَا نَصَبَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have been commanded to give glad tidings to Khadijah of a house in Paradise made of reeds, where there is no noise or tiredness."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُبَشِّرَ خَدِيجَةَ بِبَيْتٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ قَصَبٍ لَا سَخَبَ فِيهِ وَلَا نَصَبَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to say when slaughtering a sheep, "Take this meat to the friends of Khadijah." One day, I got angry at him and he said, ﷺ , "I was given her love as a provision."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا ذَبَحَ الشَّاةَ يَقُولُ «اذْهَبُوا بِذِي إِلَى أَصْدِقَاءِ خَدِيجَةَ» قَالَتْ فَأَغْضَبْتُهُ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ ﷺ «إِنِّي رُزِقْتُ حُبَّهَا»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to say, "Take it to Fulanah, for she used to be the friend of Khadijah."  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِشَيْءٍ قَالَ «اذْهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى فُلَانَةَ فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ صَدِيقَةَ خَدِيجَةَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to mention Khadijah often. I said, "Indeed, Allah has replaced you with an elderly woman among the elderly women of Quraysh, with red cheeks and sagging breasts." So the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became red with anger, a redness that I would only see on him when the revelation would come down. And when he saw me looking at her, he said, "Do you think mercy or punishment?"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُكْثِرُ ذِكْرَ خَدِيجَةَ قُلْتُ «لَقَدْ أَخْلَفَكَ اللَّهُ مِنْ عَجُوزٍ مِنْ عَجَائِزِ قُرَيْشٍ حَمْرَاءِ الشِّدْقَيْنِ فَتَمَعَّرَ وَجْهُهُ ﷺ تَمَعُّرًا مَا كُنْتُ أَرَاهُ مِنْهُ إِلَّا عِنْدَ نُزُولِ الْوَحْيِ وَإِذَا رَأَى الْمَخِيلَةَ حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ أَرَحْمَةٌ أَوْ عَذَابٌ*؟  

أَتَى جِبْرِيلُ ﷺ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذِهِ خَدِيجَةُ أَتَتْكَ بِإِنَاءٍ فِيهِ طَعَامٌ أَوْ شَرَابٌ فَإِذَا هِيَ أَتَتْكَ فَاقْرَأْ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ رَبِّهَا السَّلَامَ وَبَشِّرْهَا بِبَيْتٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ قَصَبٍ لَا سَخَبَ فِيهِ وَلَا نَصَبَ «  

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew four lines on the ground and said, "Do you know what this is?" They said, Allah and his Messenger know best. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The best of women among the people of Jannah are: (1) Khadījah b. Khuwaylid, (2) Fatimah b. Muḥammad, (3) ‘Āsiyah b. Muzāḥim, the wife of Pharaoh, and (4) Maryam daughter of ‘Imran." (Using translation from Aḥmad 2668)  

خَطَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْأَرْضِ خُطُوطًا أَرْبَعَةً قَالَ «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا؟ » قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَفْضَلُ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ خَدِيجَةُ بِنْتِ خُوَيْلِدٍ وَفَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ وَآسِيَةُ بِنْتُ مُزَاحِمٍ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ»  

[Machine] From his father and others, they prepared to meet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the following year in Mecca, along with those who followed them from their people. They left in the following year, seventy men among those who left their land of polytheism, Ka'b bin Malik said, "Until we were in the vicinity of the desert, Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur bin Sakhra bin Khansa', who was our elder and leader, said, 'I saw a vision, and by Allah, I do not know if you agree with me or not. I saw that I should not be one of those who seeks to destroy the Ka'bah, even though I pray towards it.' We said, 'Do not do that, for we have not received any report that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ prays except towards Ash-Sham, and we only pray towards his Qiblah.' So we insisted on this with him, and he insisted on it with us, and we set out with that. When it was time for prayer, he prayed towards the Ka'bah and we prayed towards Ash-Sham until we reached Mecca. Ka'b bin Malik said, "Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur bin Sakhra' said to me, 'By Allah, my nephew, it has occurred to me during this journey something that I would like you to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about, for it has occurred to me something regarding this matter in my mind. I have seen that I should not be one of those who seeks to destroy the Ka'bah, even though I pray towards it, and my companions have reproached me and opposed me until it has occurred to me something regarding this in my mind.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, you were on a Qiblah, so if you had persevered in it.' And he did not add anything to that." Then we went to Mina and performed the Hajj until when it was the middle of the days of Tashreeq, we (the Prophet and us) approached Al-Aqabah. We came out quietly from our tents and hid that from the polytheists among our people. When we gathered at Al-Aqabah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came with his uncle Al-Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the Qur'an to us, and we responded to him and believed in him and accepted what he said. Then Al-Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib spoke and said, "O people of the Khazraj, indeed Muhammad is one of us, as you know, and we have prevented him from one of the things that we have prevented ourselves and our women and children from. Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur spoke and took the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Give us your pledge." He said, "I give you my pledge on the condition that you protect me from those things that you protect yourselves, your women, and your children from." He said, "Yes, by the One Who sent you with the truth, we are the people of war, and we have inherited it from one generation to another."

[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.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَبِثَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ يَتَتَبَّعُ النَّاسَ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ وَمَجَنَّةَ وَعُكَاظٍ وَفِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ بِمِنًى يَقُولُ «مَنْ يُؤْوِينِي وَيَنْصُرُنِي حَتَّى أُبَلِّغَ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي وَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ؟ » فَلَا يَجِدُ ﷺ أَحَدًا يَنْصُرُهُ وَلَا يُؤْوِيهِ حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَرْحَلُ مِنْ مِصْرَ أَوْ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ إِلَى ذِي رَحِمِهِ فَيَأْتِيهِ قَوْمُهُ فَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ احْذَرْ غُلَامَ قُرَيْشٍ لَا يَفْتِنْكَ وَيَمْشِي بَيْنَ رِحَالِهِمْ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ فَيُشِيرُونَ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ حَتَّى بَعَثَنَا اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنْ يَثْرِبَ فَيَأْتِيهِ الرَّجُلُ فَيُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَيُقْرِئُهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَيُسْلِمُونَ بِإِسْلَامِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ دَارٌ مِنْ دُورِ يَثْرِبَ إِلَّا وَفِيهَا رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يُظْهِرُونَ الْإِسْلَامَ فَائْتَمَرَنَا وَاجْتَمَعْنَا فَقُلْنَا حَتَّى مَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُطْرَدُ فِي جِبَالِ مَكَّةَ وَيَخَافُ؟ فَرَحَلْنَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ فَوَاعَدَنَا شِعْبَ الْعَقَبَةِ فَقَالَ عَمُّهُ الْعَبَّاسُ يَا * أَهْلِ يَثْرِبَ فَاجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَهُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَرَجُلَيْنِ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ * فِي وجُوهِنَا قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ لَا أَعْرِفُهُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ أَحْدَاثٌ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَى مَا نُبَايِعُكَ؟ قَالَ «تُبَايعُونِي عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ فِي النَّشَاطِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَعَلَى النَّفَقَةِ فِي الْعُسْرِ وَالْيُسْرِ وَعَلَى الْأَمْرِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَعَلَى أَنْ تَقُولُوا فِي اللَّهِ لَا يَأْخُذْكُمْ فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةُ لَائِمٍ وَعَلَى أَنْ تَنْصُرُونِي إِذَا قَدِمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَمْنَعُونِي مَا تَمْنَعُونَ مِنْهُ أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجَكُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ فَلَكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ» فَقُمْنَا نُبَايِعُهُ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ أَسْعَدُ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُ السَّبْعِينَ إِلَّا أَنَا قَالَ رُوَيْدًا يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ إِنَّا لَمْ نَضْرِبْ إِلَيْهِ أَكْبَادَ الْمَطِيِّ إِلَّا وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِنَّ إِخْرَاجَهُ الْيَوْمَ مُفَارَقَةُ الْعَرَبِ كَافَّةً وَقَتْلَ خِيَارِكُمْ وَأَنْ تَعَضَّكُمُ السُّيُوفُ فَإِمَّا أَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَصْبِرُونَ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا مَسَّتْكُمْ وَعَلَى قَتْلِ خِيَارِكُمْ وَمُفَارَقَةِ الْعَرَبِ كَافَّةً فَخُذُوهُ وَأَجْرُكُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَإِمَّا أَنْتُمْ تَخَافُونَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ خِيفَةً فَذَرُوهُ فَهُوَ أَعْذَرُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ قَالُوا يَا أَسْعَدُ أَمِطْ عَنَّا يَدَكَ فَوَاللَّهِ لَا نَذَرُ هَذِهِ الْبَيْعَةَ وَلَا نَسْتَقِيلُهَا قَالَ فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ رَجُلٌ فَأَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا شَرِيطَةَ الْعَبَّاسِ وَضَمِنَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْجَنَّةَ  

[Machine] He informed me, saying, "I was the leader of my father after he lost his eyesight, and he could not hear the call to Friday prayer except that he would say, 'May the mercy of Allah be upon As'ad ibn Zurarah.' I said, 'O Father, it amazes me your prayer for my father Ummamah every time you hear the call to Friday prayer.' He said, 'Oh my son, he was the first one to gather the people for Friday prayer in the city of Harrah of Bani Bayadah in a place called Al-Khadamat. I said, 'And how many were you that day?' He said, 'Forty men.'"  

أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ «كُنْتُ قَائِدَ أَبِي بَعْدَمَا ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهُ وَكَانَ لَا يَسْمَعُ الْأَذَانَ بِالْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا قَالَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى أَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَتِ إِنَّهُ لَتُعْجِبُنِي صَلَاتُكَ عَلَى أَبِي أُمَامَةَ كُلَّمَا سَمِعْتَ بِالْأَذَانِ بِالْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ أَيْ بُنَيَّ كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ جَمَّعَ الْجُمُعَةَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي حَرَّةِ بَنِي بَيَاضَةَ فِي نَقِيعٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْخَضَمَاتُ قُلْتُ وَكَمْ أَنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ؟ قَالَ أَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا»  

[Machine] She said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I entered Paradise and heard a recitation, so I asked, 'Who is this?' It was said, 'This is Harithah ibn al-Nu'man.' That is how righteousness is, that is how righteousness is."  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَسَمِعْتُ قِرَاءَةً فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قِيلَ هَذَا حَارِثَةُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ كَذَاكُمُ الْبِرُّ كَذَاكُمُ الْبِرُّ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "While I was wandering in paradise, I heard the voice of a reciter. So I asked, 'Who is this?' They said, 'It is Harithah bin Nu'man, such is righteousness.' He ﷺ said, 'He was the kindest of people to his mother.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «بَيْنَا أَنَا أَدُورُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ قَارِئٍ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَقَالُوا حَارِثَةُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ كَذَلِكَ الْبِرُّ» قَالَ «وَكَانَ أَبَرَّ النَّاسِ بِأُمِّهِ»  

[Machine] By Allah, I have not seen you since I handed you over to your Saadiyah mother who breastfed you with her full care. Then I took you from her while she was on her camel and she held you up to me, and by Allah, it was only when she stood in front of me that I recognized her.  

أَمَا وَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُكَ مُنْذُ نَاوَلْتُكَ أُمَّكَ السَّعْدِيَّةَ الَّتِي أَرْضَعَتْكَ بِذِي طُوًى فَإِنِّي نَاوَلْتُهَا إِيَّاكَ وَهِيَ عَلَى بَعِيرِهَا فَأَخَذَتْكَ فَلَمَعَتْ لِي قَدَمَاكَ حِينَ رَفَعَتْكَ إِلَيْهَا فَوَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ وَقَفَتْ عَلَيَّ فَرَأَيْتُهَا فَعَرَفْتُهَا  

I went out with 'Ubaidullah bin ʿAdi Al-Khaiyar. When we reached Hims (i.e. a town in Syria), 'Ubaidullah bin ʿAdi said (to me), "Would you like to see Wahshi so that we may ask him about the killing of Hamza?" I replied, "Yes." Wahshi used to live in Hims. We enquired about him and somebody said to us, "He is that in the shade of his palace, as if he were a full water skin." So we went up to him, and when we were at a short distance from him, we greeted him and he greeted us in return. 'Ubaidullah was wearing his turban and Wahshi could not see except his eyes and feet. 'Ubaidullah said, "O Wahshi! Do you know me?" Wahshi looked at him and then said, "No, by Allah! But I know that ʿAdi bin Al-Khiyar married a woman called Um Qital, the daughter of Abu Al-Is, and she delivered a boy for him at Mecca, and I looked for a wet nurse for that child. (Once) I carried that child along with his mother and then I handed him over to her, and your feet resemble that child's feet." Then 'Ubaidullah uncovered his face and said (to Wahshi), "Will you tell us (the story of) the killing of Hamza?" Wahshi replied "Yes, Hamza killed Tuaima bin ʿAdi bin Al-Khaiyar at Badr (battle) so my master, Jubair bin Mutʿim said to me, 'If you kill Hamza in revenge for my uncle, then you will be set free." When the people set out (for the battle of Uhud) in the year of 'Ainain ..'Ainain is a mountain near the mountain of Uhud, and between it and Uhud there is a valley.. I went out with the people for the battle. When the army aligned for the fight, Siba' came out and said, 'Is there any (Muslim) to accept my challenge to a duel?' Hamza bin ʿAbdul Muttalib came out and said, 'O Siba'. O Ibn Um Anmar, the one who circumcises other ladies! Do you challenge Allah and His Apostle?' Then Hamza attacked and killed him, causing him to be non-extant like the bygone yesterday. I hid myself under a rock, and when he (i.e. Hamza) came near me, I threw my spear at him, driving it into his umbilicus so that it came out through his buttocks, causing him to die. When all the people returned to Mecca, I too returned with them. I stayed in (Mecca) till Islam spread in it (i.e. Mecca). Then I left for Taif, and when the people (of Taif) sent their messengers to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I was told that the Prophet ﷺ did not harm the messengers; So I too went out with them till I reached Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When he saw me, he said, 'Are you Wahshi?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Was it you who killed Hamza?' I replied, 'What happened is what you have been told of.' He said, 'Can you hide your face from me?' So I went out when Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, and Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab appeared (claiming to be a prophet). I said, 'I will go out to Musailamah so that I may kill him, and make amends for killing Hamza. So I went out with the people (to fight Musailamah and his followers) and then famous events took place concerning that battle. Suddenly I saw a man (i.e. Musailamah) standing near a gap in a wall. He looked like an ash-colored camel and his hair was dishevelled. So I threw my spear at him, driving it into his chest in between his breasts till it passed out through his shoulders, and then an Ansari man attacked him and struck him on the head with a sword. ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar said, 'A slave girl on the roof of a house said: Alas! The chief of the believers (i.e. Musailamah) has been killed by a black slave." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4072)

[Machine] "To have our good deeds hastened in our worldly life," he said, and he started crying."  

أَنْ تَكُونَ قَدْ عُجِّلَتْ طَيِّبَاتُنَا فِي حَيَاتِنَا الدُّنْيَا» قَالَ «وَجَعَلَ يَبْكِي»  

[Machine] "We migrated with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seeking the pleasure of Allah. Our wages were upon Allah. Among us was Mus'ab ibn 'Umair, who was martyred on the day of Uhud, leaving behind only a shroud. Whenever we placed it on his feet, his head would be exposed, and when we placed it on his head, his feet would be exposed. And among us were those whose fruits would ripen, so he would distribute them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then commanded us to place it on his head, and then place some of the fruits on his feet."  

«إِنَّا هَاجَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَبْتَغِي وَجْهَ اللَّهِ فَوَقَعَ أُجُورُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ فَمِنَّا مَنْ مَضَى لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ شَيْئًا مِنْهُمْ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَتَرَكَ بُرْدَةً فَكُنَّا إِذَا جَعَلْنَاهَا عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ بَدَا رَأْسُهُ وَإِذَا جَعَلْنَاهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ بَدَتْ رِجْلَاهُ وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَيْنَعَتْ ثَمَرَتُهُ فَهُوَ يَهْدِبُهَا فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَجْعَلَهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ نَجْعَلَ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ شَيْئًا مِنْ إِذْخِرٍ»  

[Machine] My father ordered a calf, so it was prepared. Then he ordered me to carry it to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . So I went to him while he was in his house, and he said, "What is this, O Jabir, a young camel?" I said, "No, but it is a calf." So he ordered it to be taken, and it was taken. And when I returned to my father, he said, "Did you see the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ?" I said, "Yes." So he asked, "Did he say anything?" I said, "Yes, he said, 'What is this, O Jabir, a young camel?'" So my father said, "Perhaps the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , desired meat, so he went to his poultry and slaughtered it. Then he ordered it to be roasted, and then he ordered me to carry it to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ." So I went to him, and he was in his gathering, and he said, "What is this, O Jabir?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I returned to my father, and he said, 'Did you see the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ?' I said, 'Yes.' So he asked, 'Did he say anything?' I said, 'Yes, he said, 'What is this, a young camel?''" So my father said, "Perhaps the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , desired meat, so he went to his poultry and slaughtered it. Then he ordered it to be roasted, and then he ordered me to carry it to you." So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "May Allah reward the Ansar for us, especially Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Haram and Saad ibn Ubada."  

أَمَرَ أَبِي بِخَزِيرَةٍ فَصُنِعَتْ ثُمَّ أَمَرَنِي فَحَمَلْتُهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا يَا جَابِرُ أَلْحَمٌ ذَا؟ » قُلْتُ لَا وَلَكِنَّهَا خَزِيرَةٌ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَقُبِضَتْ فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ إِلَى أَبِي قَالَ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ هَلْ قَالَ شَيْئًا؟ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «مَا هَذَا يَا جَابِرُ أَلْحَمٌ ذَا؟ » فَقَالَ أَبِي عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدِ اشْتَهَى اللَّحْمَ فَقَامَ إِلَى دَاجِنٍ لَهُ فَذَبَحَهَا ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَشُوِيَتْ ثُمَّ أَمَرَنِي فَحَمَلْتُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا يَا جَابِرُ؟ » فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى أَبِي فَقَالَ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ هَلْ قَالَ شَيْئًا؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «مَا هَذَا أَلْحَمٌ ذَا؟ » فَقَالَ أَبِي عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدِ اشْتَهَى اللَّحْمَ فَقَامَ إِلَى دَاجِنٍ عِنْدَهُ فَذَبَحَهَا ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَشُوِيَتْ ثُمَّ أَمَرَنِي فَحَمَلْتُهَا إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «جَزَى اللَّهُ الْأَنْصَارَ عَنَّا خَيْرًا وَلَا سِيَّمَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَرَامٍ وَسَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ»

"I heard Talhah bin Khirash say: 'I heard Jabir bin 'Abdullah saying: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me and said to me: 'O Jabir! Why do I see you upset?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! My father was martyred (on the Day of Uhud) leaving my family and debt behind.'" "He ﷺ said: 'Shall I give you news of what your father met Allah with?'" He said: "But of course O Messenger of Allah!" He said: 'Allah does not speak to anyone except from behind a veil, but He brought your father to speak to Him directly. He said: "[O My slave!] Do you wish that I give you anything?" He said: 'O Lord! Give me life so that I may fight for You a second time.' So the Lord [Blessed and Most High] said: 'It has been decreed by Me that they shall not return (21:95).' He said: "So this Ayah was revealed: Think not of those as dead who are killed in the way of Allah (3:169)." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3010)   

سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ لَقِيَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي «يَا جَابِرُ مَا لِي أَرَاكَ مُنْكَسِرًا»؟ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اسْتُشْهِدَ أَبِي وَتَرَكَ عِيَالًا وَدَيْنًا فَقَالَ «أَلَا أُبَشِّرُكَ بِمَا لَقِيَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَبَاكَ»؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «مَا كَلَّمَ اللَّهُ أَحَدًا قَطُّ إِلَّا مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَحْيَا أَبَاكَ فَكَلَّمَهُ كِفَاحًا فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدِي تَمَنَّ أُعْطِكَ قَالَ تُحْيِينِي فَأُقْتَلَ قَتْلَةً ثَانِيَةً قَالَ اللَّهُ إِنِّي قَضَيْتُ أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ» وَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتًا بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ}  

"My paternal uncle Anas bin An-Nadr - after whom I was named - did not participate in the battle of Badr with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. This distressed him and he said: 'I was absent from the first battle which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ attended. By Allah! If Allah gives me the opportunity to participate in another battle along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then Allah will see what I will do!'" He said: "He did not want to say more than that. A year later, he attended the battle of Uhud, where he saw Sa'd bin Mu'adh and said: 'O Abu 'Amr where are you going?' He said: 'I long for the fragrance of Paradise and I have found it near the mountains of Uhud.' He fought them until he was killed. They found more than eighty wounds on his body, be they from blows of a sword, puncture wounds, or arrows. My paternal aunt Ar-Ruba'i bin An-Nadr said: 'I could not recognize my brother except by his finger tips.' And this Ayah was revealed: 'Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah; of them some have fulfilled their vow, and some of them are still waiting, but they have never changed in the least (33:23).'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3200)

[Machine] I heard Jabir saying, "Amr ibn al-Jamuh came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Uhud and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, whoever is killed today will enter Paradise?' He replied, 'Yes.' Amr said, 'By the One in whose hand is my soul, I will not go back to my family until I enter Paradise.' Upon hearing this, Umar ibn al-Khattab said to him, 'O Amr, do not rush in your expectations from Allah.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Umar, 'Wait, O Umar, for there are some among them who, if they swear by Allah, they will fulfill it. Amr ibn al-Jamuh, for example, will enter Paradise, crawling with his intestines.'"

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying while the people were retreating from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until one of them reached below the abdomen on a mountain near the side of the city, then they returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Hanzala bin Abi Amer met with Abu Sufyan bin Harb. When Hanzala attacked him, Shaddad bin Al-Aswad defended and killed him, and he was about to kill Abu Sufyan. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Your companion Hanzala has been cleansed by the angels, so ask his wife." She said he went out while he was in a state of impurity (i.e., in a state of ritual impurity) when he heard the screaming. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "That is because the angels have cleansed him."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَقَدْ كَانَ النَّاسُ انْهَزَمُوا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى انْتَهَى بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى دُونِ الْأَعْرَاضِ عَلَى جَبَلٍ بِنَاحِيَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ كَانَ حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ أَبِي عَامِرٍ الْتَقَى هُوَ وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ حَرْبٍ فَلَمَّا اسْتَعْلَاهُ حَنْظَلَةُ رَآهُ شَدَّادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ فَعَلَاهُ شَدَّادٌ بِالسَّيْفِ حَتَّى قَتَلَهُ وَقَدْ كَادَ يَقْتُلُ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ حَنْظَلَةَ تُغَسِّلُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ فَسَلُوا صَاحِبَتَهُ» فَقَالَتْ خَرَجَ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ لَمَّا سَمِعَ الْهَائِعَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَذَاكَ قَدْ غَسَّلَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ»  

[Machine] "Bani Qurayzah submitted to the judgment of Saad bin Muadh. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a messenger to Saad who arrived riding a donkey. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Rise for your best or your master.' Saad replied, 'Indeed, these people have submitted to your judgment.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, I rule on them that their fighters be killed and their offspring be enslaved.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'You have judged them by the judgment of Allah.' And he also said, 'You have indeed judged them by the judgment of the king.'"  

أَنَّ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ نَزَلُوا عَلَى حُكْمِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى سَعْدٍ فَجَاءَ عَلَى حِمَارٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قُومُوا إِلَى خَيْرِكُمْ أَوْ إِلَى سَيِّدِكُمْ» قَالَ «إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ قَدْ نَزَلُوا عَلَى حُكْمِكَ» قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَحْكُمُ فِيهِمْ أَنْ تُقْتَلَ مُقَاتِلَتُهُمْ وَتُسْبَى ذَرِّيَّتُهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَقَدْ حَكَمْتَ فِيهِمْ بِحُكْمِ اللَّهِ» وَقَالَ مَرَّةً «لَقَدْ حَكَمْتَ بِحُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ»  

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ struck Sa'd ibn Mu'adh's tent in the mosque to indicate his return soon."  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ضَرَبَ عَلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ خَيْمَةً فِي الْمَسْجِدِ لِيَعُودَهُ مِنْ قَرِيبٍ»  

[Machine] I went out on the day of the trench and stopped to observe the people. Then I heard a noise behind me and turned around. I saw Saad ibn Muadh and with him his nephew Harith ibn Aws carrying his sword. I sat down on the ground as Saad passed by, wearing a damaged armor. I was worried about his safety because Saad was one of the greatest and tallest men. She said that he passed by while shivering and saying  

خَرَجْتُ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ أَقْفُو أَثَرَ النَّاسِ فَسَمِعْتُ وَئِيدَ الْأَرْضِ مِنْ وَرَائِي فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِسَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ وَمَعَهُ ابْنُ أَخِيهِ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ يَحْمِلُ مِجَنَّهُ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَمَرَّ سَعْدٌ وَعَلَيْهِ دِرْعٌ قَدْ خَرَجَتْ مِنْهَا أَطْرَافُهُ فَأَنَا أَتَخَوَّفُ عَلَى أَطْرَافِ سَعْدٍ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَعْظَمِ النَّاسِ وَأَطْوَلِهِمْ قَالَتْ فَمَرَّ وَهُوَ يَرْتَجِزُ وَيَقُولُ  

The Throne of the most Gracious shook at the death of Sa'd b. Mu'adh. (Using translation from Muslim 2466a)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَجِنَازَةُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ «اهْتَزَّ لَهَا عَرْشُ الرَّحْمَنِ»  

I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "The Throne (of Allah) shook at the death of Saʿd bin Muʿadh." Through another group of narrators, Jabir added, "I heard the Prophet ﷺ : saying, 'The Throne of the Beneficent shook because of the death of Saʿd bin Muʿadh." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3803)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «اهْتَزَّ الْعَرْشُ لِوَفَاةِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ»  

Jabir reported that the Throne of the most Compassionate shook because of the death of Sa'd b. Mu'adh. (Using translation from Muslim 2466b)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اهْتَزَّ عَرْشُ الرَّحْمَنِ لِمَوْتِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ»  

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ said: 'The funeral of Saad is being prepared and the Throne of the Most Merciful shook for it.' So, the hypocrites became afraid at his funeral and said, 'What a great respect is being shown to him.' This news reached the Prophet ﷺ and he said, 'Verily, the angels were carrying him with them.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ وَجِنَازَةُ سَعْدٍ مَوْضُوعَةٌ «اهْتَزَّ لَهَا عَرْشُ الرَّحْمَنِ» فَطَفِقَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ فِي جِنَازَتِهِ وَقَالُوا مَا أَخَفَّهَا فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا كَانَتْ تَحْمِلُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ مَعَهُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Saad, "This is the righteous man for whom the doors of heaven were opened, he was tested severely and then relieved of his hardships."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِسَعْدٍ «هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الصَّالِحُ الَّذِي فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ شُدِّدَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ فُرِّجَ عَنْهُ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ entered Saad ibn Muadh's grave and remained inside for a while. When he came out, they said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, why were you detained?" He replied, "I embraced Saad in the grave for a moment, and I sought Allah's help in releasing him, so He did."  

دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَبْرَهُ يَعْنِي سَعْدَ بْنَ مُعَاذٍ فَاحْتَبَسَ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا حَبَسَكَ؟ قَالَ «ضُمَّ سَعْدٌ فِي الْقَبْرِ ضَمَّةً فَدَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ فَكَشَفَ عَنْهُ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wore a silk robe, so people began to touch and admire it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, 'You admire this, but the handkerchiefs of Sa`d ibn Mu`adh in Paradise are better than it.'"  

لَبِسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَوْبًا مِنْ حَرِيرٍ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَلْمَسُونَهُ وَيَعْجَبُونَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَتَعَجَّبُونَ مِنْهُ مَنَادِيلُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ»  

[Machine] I heard Al-Bara'ah saying, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought a silk garment, and they began to touch and marvel at its softness." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The handkerchiefs of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh in Paradise are softer than this or better than this."  

سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ يَقُولُ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِثَوْبِ حَرِيرٍ فَجَعَلُوا يَلْمَسُونَهُ وَيَتَعَجَّبُونَ مِنْ لِينِهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَمَنَادِيلُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَلْيَنُ مِنْ هَذَا أَوْ خَيْرٌ مِنْ هَذَا»  

[Machine] "You are indeed fortunate, then he wept and cried abundantly. The mercy of Allah be upon Sa'd. He was among the greatest and tallest of people. Then he said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an army to Ukaydir Dumat. So he sent to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a woven cloak with gold in it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wore it and stood on the pulpit or sat, but he did not speak. Then he descended, and the people began to touch the cloak and look at it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Are you amazed at it?' They said, 'We have never seen a garment more beautiful than it.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The handkerchiefs of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh in Paradise are even more beautiful than what you see.'"  

إِنَّكَ بِسَعْدٍ لَشَبِيهٌ ثُمَّ بَكَى فَأَكْثَرَ الْبُكَاءَ قَالَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى سَعْدٍ كَانَ مِنْ أَعْظَمِ النَّاسِ وَأَطْوَلِهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَيْشًا إِلَى أُكَيْدِرِ دُومَةَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِجُبَّةِ دِيبَاجٍ مَنْسُوجٌ فِيهَا الذَّهَبُ فَلَبِسَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ أَوْ جَلَسَ فَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَلْمَسُونَ الْجُبَّةَ وَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَتَعْجَبُونَ مِنْهَا»؟ قَالُوا مَا رَأَيْنَا ثَوْبًا قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَمَنَادِيلُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَحْسَنُ مِمَّا تَرَوْنَ»  

[Machine] "That Umayr bin Adam presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a velvet cloak, and he wore it before silk was prohibited. The people were amazed by its beauty, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The handkerchiefs of Sa'd bin Mu'adh are better than it in Paradise.'"  

أَنَّ أُكَيْدِرَ دُومَةَ أَهْدَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ جُبَّةَ سُنْدُسٍ فَلَبِسَهَا وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُحَرَّمَ الْحَرِيرُ فَتَعَجَّبَ النَّاسُ مِنْ حُسْنِهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَمَنَادِيلُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ أَحْسَنُ مِنْهَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ»  

The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon came to Abu Salama (as he died). His eyes were fixedly open. He closed them, and then said: When the soul is taken away the sight follows it. Some of the people of his family wept and wailed. So he said: Do not supplicate for yourselves anything but good, for angels say" Amen" to what you say. He then said: O Allah, forgive Abu Salama, raise his degree among those who are rightly guided, grant him a successor in his descendants who remain. Forgive us and him, O Lord of the Universe, and make his grave spacious, and grant him light in it. (Using translation from Muslim 920a)  

دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى أَبِي سَلَمَةَ وَقَدْ شَقَّ بَصَرُهُ فَأَغْمَضَهُ وَقَالَ «إِنَّ الرُّوحَ إِذَا قُبِضَ تَبِعَهُ الْبَصَرُ» فَصَاحَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ فَقَالَ «لَا تَدْعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ إِلَّا بِخَيْرٍ فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تُؤَمِّنُ عَلَى مَا تَقُولُونَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِأَبِي سَلَمَةَ وَارْفَعْ دَرَجَتَهُ فِي الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَاخْلُفْهُ فِي عَقِبِهِ فِي الْغَابِرِينَ وَاغْفِرْ لَهُ وَلَنَا يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ اللَّهُمَّ افْسَحْ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَنَوِّرْ لَهُ فِيهِ»  

[Machine] "We used to only call him Zaid ibn Muhammad until the Quran was revealed: 'Call them by their fathers, it is more just in the sight of Allah.'"  

«مَا كُنَّا نَدْعُوهُ إِلَّا زَيْدَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ {ادْعُوهُمْ لِآبَائِهِمْ هُوَ أَقْسَطُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ} »  

[Machine] "Indeed, his father was more beloved to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than your father, and he was more beloved to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than you. And it was only because of you that your parents migrated."  

«إِنَّ أَبَاهُ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَبِيكَ وَإِنَّهُ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْكَ وَإِنَّمَا هَاجَرَ بِكَ أَبَوَاكَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to Ja'far, "You resemble my physical appearance and character."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِجَعْفَرٍ «أَشْبَهْتَ خَلْقِي وَخُلُقِي»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I saw Ja'far as an angel flying with his wings in paradise."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُرِيتُ جَعْفَرًا مَلَكًا يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ»  

[Machine] Abu Qatada Fares, a companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , reported:

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an army led by commanders. He said, "Follow Zaid bin Haritha, and if he is martyred, then follow Jafar, and if he is martyred, then follow Abdullah bin Rawaha." Jafar stepped forward and said, "O Messenger of Allah, may I be sacrificed for you, my father and mother! I do not have a strong desire to be chosen over Zaid." The Prophet ﷺ said, "March forth, for you do not know in which matter goodness lies for you."

So they departed and stayed there as long as Allah willed. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ascended the pulpit and commanded the call to prayer to be made for congregational prayer. He said, "Shall I inform you about your army that has fought a battle? They advanced and met the enemy, and Zaid was martyred. Pray for his forgiveness." The people began to pray for him. Then Jafar bin Abu Talib took the flag and fought the enemy until he was martyred. Pray for his forgiveness." The people began to pray for him. After that, Abdullah bin Rawaha took the flag and fought the enemy until he was martyred. Pray for his forgiveness." The people began to pray for him. Then Khalid bin Al-Walid took the flag, even though he was not a commander, but he appointed himself as one. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised both of his hands and said, "O Allah, he is one of Your swords, therefore give him victory." From that day on, Khalid bin Al-Walid was called "the Sword of Allah."  

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَتَادَةَ فَارِسُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَيْشَ الْأُمَرَاءِ قَالَ «عَلَيْكُمْ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ فَإِنْ أُصِيبَ زَيْدٌ فَجَعْفَرٌ فَإِنْ أُصِيبَ جَعْفَرٌ فَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ» فَوَثَبَ جَعْفَرٌ فَقَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا كُنْتُ أَرْغَبُ أَنْ تَسْتَعْمِلَ عَلَيَّ زَيْدًا فَقَالَ «امْضِ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي فِي أَيِّ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ» فَانْطَلَقُوا فَلَبِثُوا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُنَادَى الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ فَقَالَ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنْ جَيْشِكُمْ هَذَا الْغَازِي؟ انْطَلَقُوا فَلَقَوَا الْعَدُوَّ فَأُصِيبَ زَيْدٌ شَهِيدًا اسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ» فَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ النَّاسُ «ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَشَدَّ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا اسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَثَبَتَتْ قَدَمَاهُ حَتَّى قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا اسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَ الْأُمَرَاءِ هُوَ أَمَّرَ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ضَبْعَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ » اللَّهُمَّ هُوَ سَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِكَ انْتَصِرْ بِهِ فَمِنْ يَوْمَئِذٍ سُمِّيَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ سَيْفَ اللَّهِ «  

[Machine] I witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Hunayn. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with no one but me and Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith ibn Abd al-Muttalib. We stayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and did not leave him. He was riding a gray or perhaps white mule, which was gifted to him by Furwah ibn Nufathah al-Judhami. When the Muslims and the disbelievers met, the Muslims turned their backs while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ charged forward on his mule towards the disbelievers. Al-Abbas and I held the reins of the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ mule. He was not turning away or slowing down as he hastened towards the polytheists. Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith held onto the bridle of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called out, "O Abbas, call out to the Ashab al-Samurah (the companions of al-Samurah)." I, being a loud-voiced person, called out loudly, "O Ashab al-Samurah!" By Allah, it seemed as if the Muslims had received a jolt when they heard my voice, rushing towards the enemy. The Muslims and the disbelievers clashed in battle, and the Ansar called out, "O Ansar!" The call then only focused on the Banu al-Harith ibn al-Khazraj, who responded, "O Banu al-Harith ibn al-Khazraj!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked back at me while riding his mule, as if he was looking for something, until he said, "This is when the pillar is guarded (the Messenger of Allah referred to himself)." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took pebbles and threw them at the faces of the disbelievers, saying, "They are defeated, by the Lord of the Kaaba, they are defeated, by the Lord of the Kaaba." I looked and saw that the battle was taking its natural course. By Allah, the enemy did not appear except as a small group, retreating until Allah defeated them. It seemed as if I could see the Prophet ﷺ riding behind them on his mule.  

شَهِدْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَا مَعَهُ إِلَّا أَنَا وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَلَزِمْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ نُفَارِقْهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ شَهْبَاءَ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ بَيْضَاءَ أَهْدَاهَا لَهُ فَرْوَةُ بْنُ نُفَاثَةَ الْجُذَامِيُّ فَلَمَّا الْتَقَى الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَالْكُفَّارُ وَلَّى الْمُسْلِمُونَ مُدْبِرِينَ وَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَرْكُضُ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ قِبَلَ الْكُفَّارِ قَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ وَأَنَا آخِذٌ بِلِجَامِ بَغْلَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَكُفُّهَا وَهُوَ لَا يَأْلُو يُسْرِعُ نَحْوَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ آخِذٌ بِغَرْزِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا عَبَّاسُ نَادِ يَا أَصْحَابَ السَّمُرَةِ» وَكُنْتُ رَجُلًا صَيِّتًا وَقُلْتُ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِي يَا أَصْحَابَ السَّمُرَةِ فَوَاللَّهِ لَكَأَنَّ عَطْفَتَهُمْ حِينَ سَمِعُوا صَوْتِي عَطْفَةُ الْبَقَرِ عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا يَقُولُونَ يَا لَبَّيْكَ يَا لَبَّيْكَ فَأَقْبَلَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَاقْتَتَلُوا هُمْ وَالْكُفَّارُ فَنَادَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ ثُمَّ قُصِرَتِ الدَّعْوَةُ عَلَى بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ فَنَادُوا يَا بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ قَالَ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ كَالْمُتَطَاوِلِ عَلَيْهَا إِلَى قِتَالِهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَذَا حِينَ حَمِيَ الْوَطِيسُ» ثُمَّ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَصَيَاتٍ فَرَمَى بِهِنَّ وجُوهَ الْكُفَّارِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «انْهَزَمُوا وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ انْهَزَمُوا وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ» قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ أَنْظُرُ فَإِذَا الْقِتَالُ عَلَى هَيْئَتِهِ فِيمَا أَرَى فَوَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ رَمَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِحَصَيَاتِهِ فَمَا أَرَى حَدَّهُمْ إِلَّا كَلِيلًا وَأَمْرَهُمْ إِلَّا مُدْبِرًا حَتَّى هَزَمَهُمُ اللَّهُ قَالَ وَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَرْكُضُ خَلْفَهُمْ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the greatest charity a person can give is to support his parents."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ عَمَّ الرَّجُلِ صِنْوُ أَبِيهِ»  

[Machine] I heard Jabir say, when the Kaaba was being built, the Prophet ﷺ and Abbas were carrying the stones. Abbas said to the Prophet ﷺ , "Put your garment on your neck." So he did, and he bowed down to the ground, with his eyes gazing up at the sky. Then he stood up and said, "My garment, my garment." So he tightened his garment.  

سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ لَمَّا بُنِيَتِ الْكَعْبَةُ ذَهَبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَالْعَبَّاسُ يَنْقُلَانِ الْحِجَارَةَ فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ اجْعَلْ إِزَارَكَ عَلَى رَقَبَتِكَ فَفَعَلَ فَخَرَّ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَطَمَحَتْ عَيْنَاهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَقَالَ «إِزَارِي إِزَارِي» فَشَدَّ عَلَيْهِ إِزَارَهُ  

[Machine] While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was preparing an expedition in the market of the tanners today, Abbas ibn Abdul-Muttalib appeared and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Abbas is the uncle of your Prophet, the most generous of the Quraysh in providing assistance"  

بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُجَهِّزُ بَعْثًا فِي مَوْضِعِ سُوقِ النَّخَّاسِينَ الْيَوْمَ إِذْ طَلَعَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْعَبَّاسُ عَمُّ نَبِيِّكُمْ أَجْوَدُ قُرَيْشٍ كَفًّا وَأَوْصَلُهَا»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ entered the bathroom and I prepared ablution for him. When he came out, he asked, "Who performed ablution for me?" They said, "Ibn Abbas." The Prophet ﷺ said, "May Allah grant him understanding of the religion."  

أَتَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْخَلَاءَ فَوَضَعْتُ لَهُ وُضُوءًا فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قَالَ «مَنْ وَضَعَ هَذَا»؟ قَالُوا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ فَقِّهْهُ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a reconnaissance party led by Asim bin Thabit. They set off until they reached a place between Usfan and Mecca called Benu Lihyan, and they followed their tracks with about a hundred men to find some date palms from Madinah. It was said that these dates belonged to the people of Yathrib, so they followed their tracks until they caught up with them. When Asim bin Thabit and his companions caught up with them, they sought refuge in Fadfad. The people surrounded them and said, 'You have a covenant and a pledge with us, that if you come to us, we will not kill any of you.' Asim replied, 'But I will not be a part of an agreement with disbelievers. O Allah, inform Your Messenger about us.' So they fought them in their homes until they killed Asim and seven others. Only Hubayb bin Adi and Zaid bin Adhina remained. They made a deal with them that if they surrender, they will be safe. But when they felt secure, they tied them up with their own bowstrings. The third man with them said, 'This is the first betrayal.' He refused to accompany them, so they killed him. As for me, I considered them to be a good example, so they cut off my head. Then they took Hubayb bin Adi and Zaid bin Adhina to Mecca and sold them. Hubayb bin Harith bin Amir bought Hubayb bin Adi, and he was killed on the Day of Badr. He kept me as a captive until they gathered to kill me. But Moses borrowed me from one of the daughters of Harith, who was nursing a baby, and she left him with her on her thigh while Moses had a knife in his hand. When I saw him, I panicked and said, 'Did you intend to kill him?' He said, 'If Allah wills.' I said, 'I have never seen a captive better than Hubayb. I saw him eating from a ripe grape when there were no fruits in Mecca at that time. And indeed, he was bound with iron chains. He had nothing except what Allah provided for him.' Then they took him out of the sanctuary to kill him, and he said, 'Leave me to pray two Rak'ahs.' So he performed the prayer, and then he said, 'If it were not for the fact that you see that I have a fear of death, I would have prolonged the prayer. I was the first to perform two Rak'ahs during the time of being killed.' Then he said..."

[Machine] "And he said at the end, so Allah sent upon them a mirage from behind and they were unable to do anything."  

وَقَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِثْلَ الظُّلَّةِ مِنَ الدَّبْرِ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا عَلَى شَيْءٍ  

You object to his command and before this you objected to the command of his father (Zaid). By Allah, he was fit as the commander and he was one of the dearest of persons to me and after him, behold! this one (Usama) is one of the dearest of persons to me. (Using translation from Muslim 2426a)  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعْثًا وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ فَطَعَنَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ فِي إِمْرَتِهِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنْ تَطْعَنُوا فِي إِمْرَتِهِ فَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ تَطْعَنُونَ فِي إِمْرَةِ أَبِيهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَأَيْمُ اللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَ خَلِيقًا لِلْإِمَارَةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ لَمِنْ أَحَبِّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ وَإِنَّ هَذَا لَمِنْ أَحَبِّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ بَعْدَهُ»  

[Machine] Zaid ibn Harithah came to complain about Zainab to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Keep your family matters to yourself." Then the following verse was revealed: "And conceal within yourself what Allah has revealed to you."  

جَاءَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ يَشْكُو زَيْنَبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ أَهْلَكَ» فَنَزَلَتْ {وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ} «
