"The Messenger of Allah embraced me and said: 'O Allah, teach him wisdom and the (correct) interpretation of the Book.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 166)   

ضَمَّنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ عَلِّمْهُ الْحِكْمَةَ»  

[Machine] I was at the house of Maymuna bint Al-Harith, where I prepared water for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for ablution. He asked, "Who prepared this?" Maymuna replied, "Abdullah did." He then said, "O Allah, grant him understanding of the religion and teach him how to interpret."  

كُنْتُ فِي بَيْتِ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ فَوَضَعْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ طَهُورًا فَقَالَ «مَنْ وَضَعَ هَذَا؟ » قَالَتْ مَيْمُونَةُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ﷺ «اللَّهُمَّ فَقِّهْهُ فِي الدِّينِ وَعَلِّمْهُ التَّأْوِيلَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said to Aisha, "Stop harming him (referring to Osama)." She refused and then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ defended her and said, "If Osama were my servant, I would have beautified him and provided for him until I spent all my wealth."  

النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِعَائِشَةَ «أَمِيطِي عَنْهُ الْأَذَى» فَقَذَّرَتْهُ قَالَتْ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَمُجُّهَا وَيَقُولُ «لَوْ كَانَ أُسَامَةُ جَارِيَةً لَحَلَّيْتُهُ وَكَسَوْتُهُ حَتَّى أُنَفِّقَهُ»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came in one day looking happy, and said: 'O 'Aishah, did you not see that Mujazziz Al-Mudliji entered upon me and saw Usamah and Zaid. There was a blanket over them and their faces were covered but their feet were exposed, and he said: 'These feet belong to one another'.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2349)  

دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَسْرُورًا فَقَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ أَلَمْ تَرِ إِلَى مُجَزِّزٍ الْمُدْلِجِيِّ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ» فَرَأَى أُسَامَةَ وَزَيْدًا عَلَيْهِمَا قَطِيفَةٌ قَدْ غَطَّيَا رُءُوسَهُمَا وَبَدَتْ أَقْدَامُهُمَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْأَقْدَامَ بَعْضُهَا مِنْ بَعْضٍ «  

"The Prophet ﷺ wanted to wipe the running nose of Usamah." 'Aishah said: "Leave it to me so that I may be the one to do it." He said: "O 'Aishah, love him, for verily I love him." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3818)   

أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَمْسَحَ مُخَاطَ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ دَعْنِي حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا الَّذِي أَفْعَلُهُ قَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ أَحِبِّيهِ فَإِنِّي أُحِبُّهُ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed Usama bin Zaid as the commander of some people. Those people criticized his leadership. The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you speak ill of his leadership, you have already spoken ill of his father's leadership before. By Allah, he deserved to be a Commander, and he was one of the most beloved persons to me and now this (i.e. Usama) is one of the most beloved persons to me after him. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4250)  

أَمَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ عَلَى قَوْمٍ فَطَعَنُوا فِي إِمَارَتِهِ فَقَالَ ﷺ «إِنْ تَطْعَنُوا فِي إِمَارَتِهِ فَقَدْ طَعَنْتُمْ فِي إِمَارَةِ أَبِيهِ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ وَأَيْمُ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ كَانَ خَلِيقًا لِلْإِمَارَةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ لَمِنْ أَحَبِّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ وَإِنَّ هَذَا لَمِنْ أَحَبِّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ»  

[Machine] Ali proposed to the daughter of Abu Jahl and promised to marry her. Fatimah, the daughter of the Prophet ﷺ , came and said, "Your people are talking that you do not get angry for the sake of your daughters, and Ali proposed to the daughter of Abu Jahl." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, Fatimah is a part of me, and I hate to see her harmed." Abu Al-A'as ibn Al-Rabee praised him and said, "The daughter of the Prophet of Allah cannot be married to the daughter of the enemy of Allah."  

أَنَّ عَلِيًّا خَطَبَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ فَوَعَدَ النِّكَاحَ فَأَتَتْ فَاطِمَةُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ أَنَّكَ لَا تَغْضَبُ لِبَنَاتِكَ وَإِنَّ عَلِيًّا خَطَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا فَاطِمَةُ بَضْعَةٌ مِنِّي وَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَسُوءَهَا» وَذَكَرَ أَبَا الْعَاصِ بْنَ الرَّبِيعِ فَأَحْسَنَ عَلَيْهِ الثَّنَاءَ وَقَالَ «لَا يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ بِنْتِ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ وَبَيْنَ بِنْتِ عَدُوِّ اللَّهِ»  

كُنْتُ أَرْعَى غَنَمًا لِعُقْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ فَمَرَّ بِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ فَقَالَ لِي «يَا غُلَامُ هَلْ مِنْ لَبَنٍ»؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ وَلَكِنِّي مُؤْتَمَنٌ قَالَ «فَهَلْ مِنْ شَاةٍ لَمْ يَنْزُ عَلَيْهَا الْفَحْلُ»؟ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَمَسَحَ ﷺ ضَرْعَهَا فَنَزَلَ اللَّبَنُ فَحَلَبَهُ فِي إِنَاءٍ فَشَرِبَ وَسَقَى أَبَا بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلضَّرْعِ «انْقَلِصِي» فَانْقَلَصَتْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنِي مِنْ هَذَا الْقَوْلِ فَمَسَحَ رَأْسِي وَقَالَ «يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ إِنَّكَ غُلَامٌ مُعَلَّمٌ»  

[Machine] "Abdullah ibn Masood said, "I have seen myself as the sixth among only six Muslims on the face of the earth."  

عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ «لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي سَادِسَ سِتَّةٍ مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مُسْلِمٌ غَيْرُنَا»  

[Machine] We asked Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman to inform us about a person who is close in guidance and behavior to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from whom we can take knowledge. He said, "I do not know anyone closer in guidance, behavior, and following of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than Ibn Umm Abd until his house wall shields him. The preserved ones among the companions of Muhammad ﷺ know that Ibn Umm Abd is the closest among them to Allah as a means."  

قُلْنَا لِحُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ أَنْبِئْنَا بِرَجُلٍ قَرِيبِ الْهَدْيِ وَالسَّمْتِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَأْخُذُ عَنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ «مَا أَعْرِفُ أَقْرَبَ سَمْتًا وَهَدْيًا وَدَلًّا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنِ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ حَتَّى يُوَارِيهِ جِدَارُ بَيْتِهِ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَ الْمَحْفُوظُونَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ أَنَّ ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ مِنْ أَقْرَبِهِمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَسِيلَةً»  

I have read seventy or so surahs on the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and indeed Zaid has two fosterings to play with the boys.  

قَرَأْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِضْعَةً وَسَبْعِينَ سُورَةً وَإِنَّ زَيْدًا لَهُ ذُؤَابَتَانِ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الصِّبْيَانِ۔  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "Read Surah An-Nisa' to me." So I read until I reached the verse, "So how [will it be] when We bring from every nation a witness and we bring you, [O Muhammad], against these as a witness?" He either winked at me or turned his face, and when his eyes filled with tears. ﷺ  

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اقْرَأْ عَلَيَّ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ» فَقَرَأْتُ حَتَّى بَلَغْتُ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا} قَالَ إِمَّا غَمَزَنِي وَإِمَّا الْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا عَيْنَاهُ تَسِيلَانِ ﷺ  

ʿWhoever would like to recite the Qur'an fresh as it was revealed, let him recite it according to the recitation of Ibn Umm 'Abd.ʿ Umar bin al-Khattab narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said... a similar report, in which he said: crisp or fresh. (Using translation from Aḥmad 35)   

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا بَشَّرَاهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ غَضًّا كَمَا أُنْزِلَ فَلْيَقْرَأْهُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by Abu Bakr and Umar while Abdullah was praying, and he began reciting Surah An-Nisa (The Women). Abdullah stumbled in his recitation, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever wishes to recite the Quran as it was revealed should recite it in the manner of Ibn Umm 'Abd.' Then the Prophet ﷺ sat and asked for something, and he repeated, 'Ask and you will be given, ask and you will be given.' He said, 'O Allah, I ask You for faith that will not wane, blessings that will not diminish, and the companionship of our Prophet Muhammad in the highest paradise of eternity.' Then Umar came to Abdullah to give him glad tidings, but he found that Abu Bakr had already beaten him to it. He said, 'If you had done it, you would have been the first in goodness.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بَيْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ؓ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي فَافْتَتَحَ بِسُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ فَسَحَلَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ غَضًّا كَمَا أُنْزِلَ فَلْيَقْرَأْهُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ» ثُمَّ قَعَدَ ثُمَّ سَأَلَ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «سَلْ تُعْطَهْ سَلْ تُعْطَهْ» فَقَالَ فِيمَا يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِيمَانًا لَا يَرْتَدُّ وَنَعِيمًا لَا يَنْفَدُ وَمُرَافَقَةَ نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ فِي أَعْلَى جَنَّةِ الْخُلْدِ فَأَتَى عُمَرُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ لِيُبَشِّرَهُ فَوَجَدَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَدْ سَبَقَهُ قَالَ إِنَّكَ إِنْ فَعَلْتَ إِنَّكَ لَسَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرِ  

"The Messenger of Allah said to me: 'The sign that you have been permitted to come in is that you raise the curtain and that you hear me speaking quietly, until I forbid you.' (i.e. unless I forbid you)." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 139)  

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذْنُكَ عَلَيَّ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ الْحِجَابُ وَأَنْ تَسْمَعَ سِوَادِي حَتَّى أَنْهَاكَ»  

[Machine] That Abdullah ibn Mas'ud used to keep a siwak (a teeth-cleaning twig) for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made of Arak wood, and he had a dammah (a type of pulse) in his legs. So the people laughed. The Prophet ﷺ said, "What makes you laugh about the dammah in his legs? By the One in whose hand is my soul, they are heavier on the scales than Uhud."  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ كَانَ يَحْتَزُّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سِوَاكًا مِنْ أَرَاكٍ وَكَانَ فِي سَاقَيْهِ دِقَّةٌ فَضَحِكَ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا يُضْحِكُكُمْ مِنْ دِقَّةِ سَاقَيْهِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهُمَا أَثْقَلُ فِي الْمِيزَانِ مِنْ أُحُدٍ»  

I seek refuge with Allah from Hell-fire; I seek refuge with Allah from Hell-fire. Then another Angel joined the two others, and said unto me: You need not fear I narrated this dream to llafsa and she narrated it to Messenger of Allah, whereupon Allah's Apostle said: Worthy is this man Abdullah, O that he would pray at night, and Silim added that Abdullah afterwards slept only but for a small part of the night. (Using translation from Muslim 2479a)   

كَانَ الرَّجُلُ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَأَى رُؤْيَا قَصَّهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكُنْتُ غُلَامًا شَابًّا عَزَبًا وَكُنْتُ أَنَامُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَرَأَيْتُ فِيَ الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّ مَلَكَيْنِ أَخَذَانِي فَذَهَبَا بِي إِلَى النَّارِ فَإِذَا هِيَ مَطْوِيَّةٌ كَطَيِّ الْبِئْرِ وَإِذَا لَهَا قَرْنَانِ وَإِذَا فِيهَا نَاسٌ قَدْ عَرَفْتُهُمْ فَجَعَلْتُ أَقُولُ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَلَقِيَهُمَا مَلَكٌ آخَرُ فقَالَ لِي لَنْ تُرَاعَ فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَى حَفْصَةَ فَقَصَّتْهَا حَفْصَةُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ ﷺ «نِعْمَ الرَّجُلُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا»  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said to her, "Indeed, Abdullah bin Umar is a righteous man."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهَا «إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ»  

I saw in a dream a piece of silken cloth in my hand, and in whatever direction in Paradise I waved it, it flew, carrying me there. I narrated this (dream) to (my sister) Hafsa and she told it to the Prophet ﷺ who said, (to Hafsa), "Indeed, your brother is a righteous man," or, "Indeed, ʿAbdullah is a righteous man." (Using translation from Bukhārī 7015)  

رَأَيْتُ فِيَ الْمَنَامِ سَرَقَةً مِنْ حَرِيرٍ لَا أَهْوِي بِهَا إِلَى مَكَانٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا طَافَتْ بِي إِلَيْهِ فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَى حَفْصَةَ فَقَصَّتْهَا حَفْصَةُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَخَاكَ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ أَوْ قَالَ إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ»  

We were accompanying the Prophet ﷺ on a journey and I was riding an unmanageable camel belonging to 'Umar (ra), and I could not bring it under my control. So, it used to go ahead of the party and 'Umar would check it and force it to retreat, and again it went ahead and again 'Umar forced it to retreat. The Prophet ﷺ asked 'Umar to sell that camel to him. 'Umar replied, "It is for you O Messenger of Allah !" Messenger of Allah ﷺ told 'Umar to sell that camel to him (not to give it as gift). So, 'Umar sold it to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then the Prophet ﷺ said to 'Abdullah bin 'Umar "This camel is for you O 'Abdullah (as a present) and you could do with it whatever you like." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2115)  

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَكُنْتُ عَلَى بَكْرٍ صَعْبٍ لِعُمَرَ فَكَانَ يَغْلِبُنِي فَيَتَقَدَّمُ أَمَامَ الْقَوْمِ فَيَزْجُرُهُ عُمَرُ وَيَرُدُّهُ ثُمَّ يَتَقَدَّمُ فَيَزْجُرُهُ عُمَرُ وَيَرُدُّهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِعُمَرَ «بِعْنِيهِ» قَالَ هُوَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «بِعْنِيهِ» فَبَاعَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هُوَ لَكَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ فَاصْنَعْ بِهِ مَا شِئْتَ» *  

[Machine] "Ibn Umar used to follow the footsteps of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed somewhere, he would also stay there. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed under a sycamore tree, Ibn Umar would bring water and pour it at the base of the sycamore tree so that it would not dry up."  

«كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَتَتَبَّعُ آثَارَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكُلُّ مَنْزِلٍ نَزَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْزِلُ فِيهِ فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَحْتَ سَمُرَةٍ فَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَجِيءُ بِالْمَاءِ فَيَصُبُّهُ فِي أَصْلِ السَّمُرَةِ كَيْلاَ تَيْبَسَ»  

I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ and ‘Ammar came and asked for permission to enter. He said: ʿLet him in; welcome to the good and purified one.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 779)  

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَاءَ عَمَّارٌ يَسْتَأْذِنُ فَقَالَ ﷺ «ائْذَنُوا لَهُ مَرْحَبًا بِالطَّيِّبِ الْمُطَيَّبِ»  

[Machine] Ammar sought permission from Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, and said, "Welcome, O the one whose fragrance is pleasant. I heard the Messenger of Allah, pbuh, saying, 'Ammar is filled with faith until his bladder.'"  

اسْتَأْذَنَ عَمَّارٌ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَرْحَبًا بِالطَّيِّبِ الْمُطَيَّبِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «عَمَّارٌ مُلِئَ إِيمَانًا إِلَى مُشَاشِهِ» أَيْ مَثَانَتِهِ  

A band of rebels would kill ʿAmmar. (Using translation from Muslim 2916c)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَقْتُلُ عَمَّارًا الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Woe to Ibn Sumayyah, he will be killed by a rebellious group. He will invite them to Paradise while they invite him to the Fire."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَيْحَ ابْنِ سُمَيَّةَ تَقْتُلُهُ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَيَدْعُونَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ»  

[Machine] "Rana came and took off his cloak, then sat down and started narrating to us until he mentioned the construction of the mosque. He said, 'We were carrying one brick each, while the builders carried two bricks each.' The Prophet ﷺ saw him and started shaking the dust off his head, saying, 'O Ammar, why don't you carry what your companions are carrying?' Ammar replied, 'I seek the reward from Allah.' The Prophet then shook the dust off him and said, 'Woe to Ammar! A rebellious group will kill him, inviting him to Paradise while he invites them to Hell.' Ammar said, 'I seek refuge with Allah from trials and tribulations.'"  

رَآنَا جَاءَ فَأَخَذَ رِدَاءَهُ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ فَأَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُنَا حَتَّى أَتَى عَلَى ذِكْرِ بِنَاءِ الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ كُنَّا نَحْمِلُ لَبِنَةً وَعَمَّارٌ لَبِنَتَيْنِ لَبِنَتَيْنِ فَرَآهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ يَنْفُضُ التُّرَابَ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ وَيَقُولُ «يَا عَمَّارُ أَلَا تَحْمِلُ مَا يَحْمِلُ أَصْحَابُكَ؟ » قَالَ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْأَجْرَ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَجَعَلَ يَنْفُضُ التُّرَابَ عَنْهُ وَيَقُولُ «وَيْحُ عَمَّارٍ تَقْتُلُهُ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَيَدْعُونَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ» فَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ  

[Machine] "And by the One in whose hand is my soul, I have fought with this flag alongside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ three times, and this is the fourth. And by the One in whose hand is my soul, even if they were to strike us until they reach the Sa'fat valley, we would know that our cause is just and that they are on falsehood."  

«وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ قَاتَلْتُ بِهَذِهِ الرَّايَةِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَهَذِهِ الرَّابِعَةُ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ ضَرَبُونَا حَتَّى يَبْلُغُوا بِنَا سَعْفَاتِ هَجَرَ عَرَفْنَا أَنَّ مُصْلِحِينَا عَلَى الْحَقِّ وَأَنَّهُمْ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ»  

[Machine] There was a conversation between me and Ammar ibn Yasir, and then Ammar went to complain to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Khalid ibn Walid was present, but Prophet Muhammad ﷺ remained silent. Ammar cried and said, "O Messenger of Allah, don't you hear him?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his head towards me and said, "Whoever opposes Ammar, Allah will oppose him, and whoever hates him, Allah will hate him." Then I left, and there was nothing dearer to me than the satisfaction of Ammar, so I met him and he was pleased.  

كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ كَلَامٌ فَانْطَلَقَ عَمَّارٌ يَشْكُو إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ خَالِدٌ لَا يَزِيدُهُ إِلَّا غِلْظَةً وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَاكِتٌ قَالَ فَبَكَى عَمَّارٌ وَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا تَسْمَعُهُ؟ قَالَ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَيَّ رَأْسَهُ وَقَالَ «مَنْ عَادَى عَمَّارًا عَادَاهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَهُ أَبْغَضَهُ اللَّهُ» قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَمَا كَانَ شَيْءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ رِضَا عَمَّارٍ فَلَقِيتُهُ فَرَضِيَ  

أَنَّ صُهَيْبًا حِينَ أَرَادَ الْهِجْرَةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ لَهُ كُفَّارُ قُرَيْشٍ أَتَيْتَنَا صُعْلُوكًا فَكَثُرَ مَالُكَ عِنْدَنَا وَبَلَغْتَ مَا بَلَغْتَ ثُمَّ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ بِنَفْسِكَ وَمَالِكَ وَاللَّهِ لَا يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ مَالِي أَتُخَلُّونَ سَبِيلِي؟ فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ فَقَالَ أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُ لَهُمْ مَالِي فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «رَبِحَ صُهَيْبٌ رَبِحَ صُهَيْبٌ»  

"The first people to declare their Islam publicly were seven: The Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr, 'Ammar and his mother Sumayyah, Suhaib, Bilal and Miqdad. With regard to the Messenger of Allah, Allah protected him through his paternal uncle Abu Talib. With regard to Abu Bakr, Allah protected him through his people. As for the rest, the idolators seized them and made them wear coats of chain-mail and exposed them to the intense heat of the sun. There was none of them who did not do what they wanted them to do, except for Bilal. He did not care what happened to him for the sake of Allah, and his people did not care what happened to him. Then they gave him to the children who took him around in the streets of Makkah while he was saying, 'Ahad, Ahad (One, One).'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 150)  

«كَانَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ أَظْهَرَ إِسْلَامَهُ سَبْعَةً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعَمَّارٌ وَأُمُّهُ سُمَيَّةُ وَصُهَيْبٌ وَبِلَالٌ وَالْمِقْدَادُ فَأَمَّا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَمَنَعَهُ اللَّهُ بِعَمِّهِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأَمَّا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَمَنَعَهُ اللَّهُ بِقَوْمِهِ وَأَمَّا سَائِرُهُمْ فَأَخَذَهُمُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ وَأُلْبِسُوا أَدْرَاعَ الْحَدِيدِ وَصَهَرُوهُمْ فِي الشَّمْسِ فَمَا مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا وَآتَاهُمْ عَلَى مَا أَرَادُوا إِلَّا بِلَالٌ فَإِنَّهُ هَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسُهُ فِي اللَّهِ وَهَانَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ فَأَخَذُوهُ فَأَعْطَوْهُ الْوِلْدَانَ فَجَعَلُوا يَطُوفُونَ بِهِ فِي شِعَابِ مَكَّةَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ أَحَدٌ أَحَدٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I was admitted into Paradise and heard a rustling sound in front of me. I asked, 'Who is this?' Gabriel, ﷺ , said, 'This is Bilal.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُدْخِلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَسَمِعْتُ خَشْفَةً أَمَامِي فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ هَذَا بِلَالٌ»  

[Machine] I said to Abu Usamah, "Shall I inform you about the most hopeful deed that Abu Hayyan narrated from Abu Zur'ah, from Abu Hurairah, who said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Bilal during the Fajr prayer: 'O Bilal, tell me of the most hopeful deed that you have done in Islam, for I heard a rustling of your sandals before me in front of Paradise tonight.' Bilal said, 'The most hopeful deed that I have done is that whenever I have performed ablution in a complete and perfect manner, at any hour of the day or night, I have prayed to my Lord as much as He has decreed for me to pray.'"  

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي أُسَامَةَ أَحَدَّثَكُمْ أَبُو حَيَّانَ عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِبِلَالٍ عِنْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ «يَا بِلَالُ حَدِّثْنِي بِأَرْجَى عَمِلٍ عَمِلْتَهُ عِنْدَكَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ اللَّيْلَةَ خَشْفَةَ نَعْلَيْكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْجَنَّةِ» فَقَالَ مَا عَمَلٌ عَمِلْتُهُ أَرْجَى عِنْدِي أَنِّي لَمْ أَتَطَهَّرْ طَهُورًا تَامًّا فِي سَاعَةٍ مِنْ لَيْلٍ أَوْ نَهَارٍ إِلَّا صَلَّيْتُ لِرَبِّي مَا قُدِّرَ لِي أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I did not enter Paradise except that I heard a rustling sound. So I asked, 'Who is this?' They said, 'Bilal.' Then I passed by a beautifully constructed palace and asked, 'Whose is this?' They said, 'A man from the nation of Muhammad ﷺ .' So I asked, 'Am I Muhammad? Whose palace is this?' They said, 'It belongs to a man from the Arabs.' So I asked, 'Am I an Arab? Whose palace is this?' They said, 'It belongs to Umar ibn Al-Khattab.' Then Umar said to Bilal, 'By what did you surpass me to Paradise?' Bilal replied, 'I did not do anything except that I performed ablution and I did not perform ablution except that I prayed.' Umar said to the Messenger of Allah, 'If not for your jealousy, I would have entered the palace.' The Messenger of Allah said, 'O Umar, I could not bear to see you in a state of distress.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا سَمِعْتُ خَشْخَشَةً» فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَقَالُوا بِلَالٌ ثُمَّ مَرَرْتُ بِقَصْرٍ مُشَيَّدٍ بَدِيعٍ فَقُلْتُ لِمَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ؟ قَالُوا لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا عَرَبِيٌّ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ؟ قَالُوا لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ « فَقَالَ لِبِلَالٍ » بِمَ سَبَقْتَنِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ «؟ قَالَ مَا أَحْدَثْتُ إِلَّا تَوَضَّأْتُ وَمَا تَوَضَّأْتُ إِلَّا صَلَّيْتُ وَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ » لَوْلَا غَيْرَتُكَ لَدَخَلْتُ الْقَصْرَ « فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَغَارَ عَلَيْكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , heard a rustling sound in front of him, so he asked, "Who is this?" They replied, "It is Bilal." So he informed him and asked, "By what means did you surpass me to Paradise?" Bilal replied, "O Messenger of Allah, I have not done anything except that whenever I performed ablution, I offered two units of prayer. I did not perform ablution except that I saw it as an opportunity to pray these two units for Allah." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Because of them [i.e., the two units of prayer]."  

أَنّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سَمِعَ خَشْخَشَةً أَمَامَهُ فَقَالَ مَنْ هَذَا قَالُوا بِلالٌ فَأَخْبَرَهُ وَقَالَ بِمَ سَبَقْتَنِي إِِلَى الْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَحْدَثْتُ إِِلا تَوَضَّأْتُ وَلاَ تَوَضَّأْتُ إِِلا رَأَيْتُ أَنَّ لِلَّهِ عَلَيَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ أُصَلِّيهُمَا قَالَ ﷺ «بِهَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered the killing of the captives of Badr, so they were dragged to the well and thrown into it. Then he came and stood beside them, and said, "O people of the well, have you found what your Lord promised you to be true? For I have found what my Lord promised me to be true." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, are you speaking to dead people?" He said, "They have indeed known that what I promised them is true." When Abu Hudhayfah bin 'Utbah saw his father being dragged to the well, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ noticed the repulsion in his face, so he said, "You seem to dislike what you see." Abu Hudhayfah said, "O Messenger of Allah, my father was a noble and patient man, and I had hoped that Allah would guide him to Islam. When he was in the position he is now, it saddened me. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for Abu Hudhayfah with goodness."  

أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِقَتْلَى بَدْرٍ فَسُحِبُوا إِِلَى الْقَلِيبِ فَطُرِحُوا فِيهِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ يَا أَهْلَ الْقَلِيبِ هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا فَإِِنِّي وَجَدْتُ مَا وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي حَقًّا قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تُكَلِّمُ قَوْمًا مَوْتَى قَالَ لَقَدْ عَلِمُوا أَنَّ مَا وَعَدْتُهُمْ حَقًّا فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَبُو حُذَيْفَةَ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ أَبَاهُ يُسْحَبُ إِِلَى الْقَلِيبِ عَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ كَأَنَّكَ كَارِهٌ لِمَا تَرَى فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِِنَّ أَبِي كَانَ رَجُلا سَيِّدًا حَلِيمًا فَرَجَوْتُ أَنْ يَهْدِيَهُ اللَّهُ إِِلَى الإِِسْلامِ فَلَمَّا وَقَعَ بِالْمَوْقِعِ الَّذِي وَقَعَ بِهِ أَحْزَنَنِي ذَلِكَ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لأَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ بِخَيْرٍ  

[Machine] "Khalid bin Al-Walid had wielded in my hand on the day of Mu'tah nine swords, and there remained in my hand only a Yemeni metal plate."  

خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ لَقَدِ انْدَقَّ فِي يَدِي يَوْمَ مُؤْتَةَ تِسْعَةُ أَسْيَافٍ مَا بَقِيَتْ فِي يَدِي إِِلا صَفِيحَةٌ لِي يَمَانِيَةٌ  

[Machine] Khalid ibn Al-Walid went out with the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , on the day of Hunayn. He was riding on the Messenger of Allah's horse. Ibn Al-Azhar said, "I saw the Prophet, ﷺ , saying, 'Who can lead me to Khalid ibn Al-Walid's horse?' So I walked or hurried in front of him, saying, 'Who can lead me to Khalid ibn Al-Walid's horse?' until we were guided to his horse. And there he was, sitting and leaning against the back of his horse. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came to him and looked at his wound. Az-Zuhri said, 'I thought that he also blew on it.'"  

أَنَّ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ خَرَجَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ فَكَانَ عَلَى خَيْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ ابْنُ الْأَزْهَرِ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «مَنْ يَدُلُّ عَلَى رَحْلِ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ؟ » قَالَ ابْنُ الْأَزْهَرِ فَمَشَيْتُ أَوْ قَالَ سَعَيْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَأَنَا مُحْتَلِمٌ أَقُولُ مَنْ يَدُلُّ عَلَى رَحْلِ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ؟ حَتَّى دُلِلْنَا عَلَى رَحْلِهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ قَاعِدٌ مُسْتَنِدٌ إِلَى مُؤَخَّرِ رَحْلِهِ فَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى جُرْحِهِ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَحَسَبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَنَفَثَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] Abdul Rahman ibn Auf complained to the Messenger of Allah PBUH about the harm caused by Khalid ibn Walid to a man from the people of Badr. The Messenger of Allah PBUH said, "O Khalid, why do you harm a man from the people of Badr? If you were to spend the equivalent of Uhud in gold, you would not be able to attain his status." Khalid replied, "O Messenger of Allah, they attack me and I respond to them." The Messenger of Allah PBUH said, "Do not harm Khalid, for he is a sword from the swords of Allah whom Allah sends upon the disbelievers."  

شَكَى عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا خَالِدُ لِمَ تُؤْذِي رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ؟ لَوْ أَنْفَقْتَ مِثْلَ أُحُدٍ ذَهَبًا لَمْ تُدْرِكْ عَمَلَهُ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقَعُونَ فِيَّ فَأَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تُؤْذُوا خَالِدًا فَإِنَّهُ سَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِ اللَّهِ صَبَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ»  

[Machine] I heard Amr ibn al-As say, "The people panicked in Medina with the Prophet ﷺ, so they scattered. I saw Salim, the servant of Abu Hudhayfah, grab his sword and sit in the mosque. When I saw that, I did the same thing. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out and saw me and Salim as we were, and he came to the people and said, 'O people, wasn't your panic supposed to be towards Allah and His Messenger? Didn't you act like these two believers did?'"  

سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ يَقُولُ فَزِعَ النَّاسُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَتَفَرَّقُوا فَرَأَيْتُ سَالِمًا مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ احْتَبَى بِسَيْفِهِ وَجَلَسَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ فَعَلْتُ مِثْلَ الَّذِي فَعَلَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَآنِي وَسَالِمًا وَأَتَى النَّاسُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَلَا كَانَ مَفْزَعُكُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ؟ أَلَا فَعَلْتُمْ كَمَا فَعَلَ هَذَانِ الرَّجُلَانِ الْمُؤْمِنَانِ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said (to me), "You have been shown to me twice in (my) dreams. A man was carrying you in a silken cloth and said to me, 'This is your wife.' I uncovered it; and behold, it was you. I said to myself, 'If this dream is from Allah, He will cause it to come true.' " (Using translation from Bukhārī 5078)  

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رَأَيْتُكِ فِي الْمَنَامِ مَرَّتَيْنِ إِذَا رَجُلٌ يَحْمِلُكِ فِي سَرَقَةِ حَرِيرٍ فَيَقُولُ هَذِهِ امْرَأَتُكَ فَأَكْشِفُهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ أَنْتِ فَأَقُولُ إِنْ يَكُ هَذَا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ يُمْضِهِ»  

[Machine] Gabriel ﷺ came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrapped in a silk garment and said, "This is your wife in this life and the hereafter."  

جَاءَ بِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي خِرْقَةِ حَرِيرٍ فَقَالَ «هَذِهِ زَوْجَتُكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned Fatimah and she said, "I spoke and said, 'Would you not be pleased for me to be your wife in this life and the hereafter?' I said, 'Yes, by Allah.'" He said, "Then you are my wife in this life and the hereafter."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَ فَاطِمَةَ قَالَتْ فَتَكَلَّمْتُ أَنَا فَقَالُ «أَمَا تَرْضَيْنَ أَنْ تَكُونِي زَوْجَتِي فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ؟ » قُلْتُ بَلَى وَاللَّهِ قَالَ «فَأَنْتِ زَوْجَتِي فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ»  

[Machine] She said, "O Messenger of Allah, who are your wives in Paradise?" He said, "As for you, you are one of them." She then thought to herself that he had not married a virgin other than herself.  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَزْوَاجُكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّكِ مِنْهُنَّ» قَالَتْ فَخُيِّلَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّ ذَاكَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَتَزَوَّجْ بِكْرًا غَيْرِي  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house at the age of nine. She further said: We went to Medina and I had an attack of fever for a month, and my hair had come down to the earlobes. Umm Ruman (my mother) came to me and I was at that time on a swing along with my playmates. She called me loudly and I went to her and I did not know what she had wanted of me. She took hold of my hand and took me to the door, and I was saying: Ha, ha (as if I was gasping), until the agitation of my heart was over. She took me to a house, where had gathered the women of the Ansar. They all blessed me and wished me good luck and said: May you have share in good. She (my mother) entrusted me to them. They washed my head and embellished me and nothing frightened me. Messenger of Allah (, may peace be upon him) came there in the morning, and I was entrusted to him. (Using translation from Muslim 1422a)  

«تَزَوَّجَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِسِتِّ سِنِينَ وَبَنَى بِي وَأَنَا بِنْتُ تِسْعِ سِنِينَ فَقَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَوُعِكْتُ فَوَفَى شَعْرِي جُمَيْمَةً فَأَتَتْنِي أُمُّ رُومَانَ وَأَنَا عَلَى أُرْجُوحَةٍ وَمَعِي صَوَاحِبُ لِي فَصَرَخَتْ بِي فَأَتَيْتُهَا مَا أَدْرِي مَاذَا تُرِيدُ فَأَخَذَتْ بِيَدِي وَأَوْقَفَتْنِي عَلَى الْبَابِ فَقُلْتُ هَهْ هَهْ شِبْهَ الْمُنْبَهِرَةِ فَأَدْخَلَتْنِي بَيْتًا فَإِذَا نِسْوَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقُلْنَ عَلَى الْخَيْرِ وَالْبَرَكَةِ وَعَلَى خَيْرِ طَائِرٍ فَأَسْلَمَتْنِي إِلَيْهِنَّ فَغَسَلْنَ رَأْسِي وَأَصْلَحْنَنِي فَلَمْ يَرُعْنِي إِلَّا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ضُحًى فَأَسْلَمْنَنِي إِلَيْهِ»  

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "O 'Aishah! Here is Jibril and he is giving Salam to you." She said: "I said: 'And upon him be peace and the mercy of Allah, and His blessings. You see that which we do not.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3881)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكِ السَّلَامَ» فَقُلْتُ وَعَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ تَرَى مَا لَا نَرَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Rejoice, for Allah has granted you an excuse." I said, "Praise be to Allah, not to you."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَبْشِرِي فَقَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عُذْرَكِ» قُلْتُ بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ لَا بِحَمْدِكَ  

[Machine] I asked Umm Romān, who is Umm Aisha, the mother of the believers, or it was said to her, "What Allah has revealed as an excuse for her," meaning Aisha. She said, "While I was with Aisha, a woman from the Ansar entered upon us and she was saying, 'Allah has done such and such with so and so.' Aisha said, 'Why did she say this?' I said, 'Because he was one of the people who narrated the Hadith.' Aisha said, 'Which Hadith?' So I informed her. She said, 'And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr heard it?' I said, 'Yes.' So she fainted and did not regain consciousness except with a high fever. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and said, 'What is this?' She said, 'We told him about the fever that took hold of her.' He said, 'Perhaps it is because of the Hadith that she narrated.' She said, 'She sat down and said, 'By Allah, if I swear to you, you will not believe me, and if I apologize, you will not accept my apology.' She said, 'My example and your example is like the example of Yaqub and his sons. And Allah is the one whose help is sought against what you describe.' She said, 'And Allah revealed what He revealed to him, so he informed her. She said, 'Praise be to Allah, not to anyone else.'"  

سَأَلْتُ أُمَّ رُومَانَ وَهِيَ أُمُّ عَائِشَةَ أُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَوْ قِيلَ لَهَا مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عُذْرَهَا يَعْنِي عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ إِذْ دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْنَا امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَإِذَا هِيَ تَقُولُ فَعَلَ اللَّهُ بِفُلَانٍ كَذَا فَقَالَتْ لِمَ قَالَتْ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ فِيمَنْ حَدَّثَ الْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَأَيُّ حَدِيثٍ؟ فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا قَالَتْ فَسَمِعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَخَرَّتْ مَغْشِيًّا عَلَيْهَا فَمَا أَفَاقَتْ إِلَّا وَعَلَيْهَا حُمَّى نَافِضٌ قَالَتْ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا؟ » قَالَتْ فَقُلْنَا حُمَّى أَخَذَتْهَا قَالَ «فَلَعَلَّهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ حَدِيثٍ تُحَدِّثَ بِهِ» قَالَتْ فَقَعَدَتْ فَقَالَتْ وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ حَلَفْتُ لَا تُصَدِّقُونِي وَلَئِنِ اعْتَذَرْتُ لَا تَعْذِرُونِي فَمَثَلِي وَمَثَلُكُمْ مِثْلُ يَعْقُوبَ وَبَنِيهِ {وَاللَّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ} قَالَتْ وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مَا أَنْزَلَ فَأَخْبَرَهَا فَقَالَتْ بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ لَا بِحَمْدِ أَحَدٍ  

(the wife of the Prophet) "Whenever Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to go on a journey, he would draw lots amongst his wives and would take with him the one upon whom the lot fell. During a Ghazwa of his, he drew lots amongst us and the lot fell upon me, and I proceeded with him after Allah had decreed the use of the veil by women. I was carried in a Howdah (on the camel) and dismounted while still in it. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ was through with his Ghazwa and returned home, and we approached the city of Medina, Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered us to proceed at night. When the order of setting off was given, I walked till I was past the army to answer the call of nature. After finishing I returned (to the camp) to depart (with the others) and suddenly realized that my necklace over my chest was missing. So, I returned to look for it and was delayed because of that. The people who used to carry me on the camel, came to my Howdah and put it on the back of the camel, thinking that I was in it, as, at that time, women were light in weight, and thin and lean, and did not use to eat much. So, those people did not feel the difference in the heaviness of the Howdah while lifting it, and they put it over the camel. At that time I was a young lady. They set the camel moving and proceeded on. I found my necklace after the army had gone, and came to their camp to find nobody. So, I went to the place where I used to stay, thinking that they would discover my absence and come back in my search. While in that state, I felt sleepy and slept. Safwan bin Mu'attal As-Sulami Adh-Dhakwani was behind the army and reached my abode in the morning. When he saw a sleeping person, he came to me, and he used to see me before veiling. So, I got up when I heard him saying, "Inna lil-lah-wa inn a ilaihi rajiun (We are for Allah, and we will return to Him)." He made his camel knell down. He got down from his camel, and put his leg on the front legs of the camel and then I rode and sat over it. Safwan set out walking, leading the camel by the rope till we reached the army who had halted to take rest at midday. Then whoever was meant for destruction, fell into destruction, (some people accused me falsely) and the leader of the false accusers was ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul. After that we returned to Medina, and I became ill for one month while the people were spreading the forged statements of the false accusers. I was feeling during my ailment as if I were not receiving the usual kindness from the Prophet ﷺ which I used to receive from him when I got sick. But he would come, greet and say, 'How is that (girl)?' I did not know anything of what was going on till I recovered from my ailment and went out with Um Mistah to the Manasi where we used to answer the call of nature, and we used not to go to answer the call of nature except from night to night and that was before we had lavatories near to our houses. And this habit of ours was similar to the habit of the old 'Arabs in the open country (or away from houses). So. I and Um Mistah bint Ruhm went out walking. Um Mistah stumbled because of her long dress and on that she said, 'Let Mistah be ruined.' I said, 'You are saying a bad word. Why are you abusing a man who took part in (the battle of) Badr?' She said, 'O Hanata (you there) didn't you hear what they said?' Then she told me the rumors of the false accusers. My sickness was aggravated, and when I returned home, Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me, and after greeting he said, 'How is that (girl)?' I requested him to allow me to go to my parents. I wanted then to be sure of the news through them I Messenger of Allah ﷺ allowed me, and I went to my parents and asked my mother, 'What are the people talking about?' She said, 'O my daughter! Don't worry much about this matter. By Allah, never is there a charming woman loved by her husband who has other wives, but the women would forge false news about her.' I said, 'Glorified be Allah! Are the people really taking of this matter?' That night I kept on weeping and could not sleep till morning. In the morning Messenger of Allah ﷺ called ʿAli bin Abu Talib and Usama bin Zaid when he saw the Divine Inspiration delayed, to consul them about divorcing his wife (i.e. ʿAisha). Usama bin Zaid said what he knew of the good reputation of his wives and added, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Keep you wife, for, by Allah, we know nothing about her but good.' ʿAli bin Abu Talib said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Allah has no imposed restrictions on you, and there are many women other than she, yet you may ask the woman-servant who will tell you the truth.' On that Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Barirah and said, 'O Barirah. Did you ever see anything which roused your suspicions about her?' Barirah said, 'No, by Allah Who has sent you with the Truth, I have never seen in her anything faulty except that she is a girl of immature age, who sometimes sleeps and leaves the dough for the goats to eat.' On that day Messenger of Allah ﷺ ascended the pulpit and requested that somebody support him in punishing ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul. Allah's Apostle said, 'Who will support me to punish that person (ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul) who has hurt me by slandering the reputation of my family? By Allah, I know nothing about my family but good, and they have accused a person about whom I know nothing except good, and he never entered my house except in my company.' Saʿd bin Muʿadh got up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! by Allah, I will relieve you from him. If that man is from the tribe of the Aus, then we will chop his head off, and if he is from our brothers, the Khazraj, then order us, and we will fulfill your order.' On that Saʿd bin 'Ubada, the chief of the Khazraj and before this incident, he had been a pious man, got up, motivated by his zeal for his tribe and said, 'By Allah, you have told a lie; you cannot kill him, and you will never be able to kill him.' On that Usaid bin Al-Hadir got up and said (to Saʿd bin 'Ubada), 'By Allah! you are a liar. By Allah, we will kill him; and you are a hypocrite, defending the hypocrites.' On this the two tribes of Aus and Khazraj got excited and were about to fight each other, while Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing on the pulpit. He got down and quieted them till they became silent and he kept quiet. On that day I kept on weeping so much so that neither did my tears stop, nor could I sleep. In the morning my parents were with me and I had wept for two nights and a day, till I thought my liver would burst from weeping. While they were sitting with me and I was weeping, an Ansari woman asked my permission to enter, and I allowed her to come in. She sat down and started weeping with me. While we were in this state, Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and sat down and he had never sat with me since the day they forged the accusation. No revelation regarding my case came to him for a month. He recited Tashah-hud (i.e. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is His Apostle) and then said, 'O ʿAisha! I have been informed such-and-such about you; if you are innocent, then Allah will soon reveal your innocence, and if you have committed a sin, then repent to Allah and ask Him to forgive you, for when a person confesses his sin and asks Allah for forgiveness, Allah accepts his repentance.' When Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his speech my tears ceased completely and there remained not even a single drop of it. I requested my father to reply to Messenger of Allah ﷺ on my behalf. My father said, By Allah, I do not know what to say to Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' I said to my mother, 'Talk to Messenger of Allah ﷺ on my behalf.' She said, 'By Allah, I do not know what to say to Allah's Apostle. I was a young girl and did not have much knowledge of the Qur'an. I said. 'I know, by Allah, that you have listened to what people are saying and that has been planted in your minds and you have taken it as a truth. Now, if I told you that I am innocent and Allah knows that I am innocent, you would not believe me and if I confessed to you falsely that I am guilty, and Allah knows that I am innocent you would believe me. By Allah, I don't compare my situation with you except to the situation of Joseph's father (i.e. Jacob) who said, 'So (for me) patience is most fitting against that which you assert and it is Allah (Alone) whose help can be sought.' Then I turned to the other side of my bed hoping that Allah would prove my innocence. By Allah I never thought that Allah would reveal Divine Inspiration in my case, as I considered myself too inferior to be talked of in the Holy Qur'an. I had hoped that Messenger of Allah ﷺ might have a dream in which Allah would prove my innocence. By Allah, Allah's Apostle had not got up and nobody had left the house before the Divine Inspiration came to Allah's Apostle. So, there overtook him the same state which used to overtake him, (when he used to have, on being inspired divinely). He was sweating so much so that the drops of the sweat were dropping like pearls though it was a (cold) wintry day. When that state of Messenger of Allah ﷺ was over, he was smiling and the first word he said, ʿAisha! Thank Allah, for Allah has declared your innocence.' My mother told me to go to Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I replied, 'By Allah I will not go to him and will not thank but Allah.' So Allah revealed: "Verily! They who spread the slander are a gang among you . . ." (24.11) When Allah gave the declaration of my Innocence, Abu Bakr, who used to provide for Mistah bin Uthatha for he was his relative, said, 'By Allah, I will never provide Mistah with anything because of what he said about Aisha.' But Allah later revealed: -- "And let not those who are good and wealthy among you swear not to help their kinsmen, those in need and those who left their homes in Allah's Cause. Let them forgive and overlook. Do you not wish that Allah should forgive you? Verily! Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful." (24.22) After that Abu Bakr said, 'Yes ! By Allah! I like that Allah should forgive me,' and resumed helping Mistah whom he used to help before. Messenger of Allah ﷺ also asked Zainab bint Jahsh (i.e. the Prophet's wife about me saying, 'What do you know and what did you see?' She replied, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I refrain to claim hearing or seeing what I have not heard or seen. By Allah, I know nothing except goodness about Aisha." Aisha further added "Zainab was competing with me (in her beauty and the Prophet's love), yet Allah protected her (from being malicious), for she had piety." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2661)

كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللَّهِ لَنَقْتُلَنَّهُ فَإِنَّكَ مُنَافِقٌ تُجَادِلُ عَنِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَثَارَ الْحَيَّانِ الْأَوْسُ وَالْخَزْرَجُ حَتَّى هَمُّوا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَجَعَلَ يُخَفِّضُهُمْ حَتَّى سَكَتُوا وَمَكَثْتُ يَوْمِي لَا يَرْقَأُ لِي دَمْعٌ وَلَا أَكْتَحِلُ بِنَوْمٍ فَأَصْبَحَ عِنْدِي أَبَوَايَ وَقَدْ بَكَيْتُ لَيْلَتِي وَيَوْمِي حَتَّى أَظُنُّ أَنَّ الْبُكَاءَ

دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَلَسَ وَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ عِنْدِي مِنْ يَوْمِ قِيلَ لِي مَا قِيلَ قَبْلَهَا وَقَدْ مَكَثَ شَهْرًا لَا يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ فِي شَأْنِي شَيْءٌ قَالَتْ فَتَشَهَّدَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِنْ كُنْتِ بَرِيئَةً فَسَيُبَرِّئُكِ اللَّهُ وَإِنْ كُنْتِ أَلْمَمْتِ فَاسْتَغْفِرِي اللَّهَ وَتُوبِي إِلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا اعْتَرَفَ بِذَنْبِهِ ثُمَّ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ» فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَقَالَتَهُ قَلَصَ دَمْعِي حَتَّى مَا أُحِسُّ مِنْهُ بِقَطْرَةٍ وَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي أَجِبْ عَنِّي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لِأُمِّي أَجِيبِي عَنِّي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِيمَا قَالَ قَالَتْ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ وَأَنَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ لَا أَقْرَأُ كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَقُلْتُ إِي وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكُمْ سَمِعْتُمْ مَا تَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ وَوَقَرَ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَصَدَّقْتُمْ بِهِ وَلَئِنْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ إِنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ لَا تُصَدِّقُونِي بِذَلِكَ وَإِنِ اعْتَرَفَتْ لَكُمْ بِأَمْرٍ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ لَتُصَدِّقُنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا أَجِدُ لِي وَلَكُمْ مَثَلًا إِلَّا أَبَا يُوسُفَ إِذْ قَالَ {فَصَبَرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَاللَّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ} ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْتُ عَلَى فِرَاشِي وَأَنَا أَرْجُو أَنْ يُبَرِّئَنِيَ اللَّهُ وَلَكِنْ وَاللَّهِ مَا ظَنَنْتُ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ فِي شَأْنِي وَحْيٌ وَلَأَنَا أَحْقَرُ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْ أَنْ يُتَكَلَّمَ بِالْقُرْآنِ فِي أَمْرِي وَلَكِنِّي كُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَرَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي النَّوْمِ رُؤْيَا تُبَرِّئُنِي فَوَاللَّهِ مَا رَامَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ وَلَا خَرَجَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ حَتَّى أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخَذَهُ مَا كَانَ يَأْخُذُهُ مِنَ الْبُرَحَاءِ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَيَنْحَدِرُ مِنْهُ مِثْلُ الْجُمَانِ مِنَ الْعَرَقِ فِي يَوْمٍ شَاتٍ فَلَمَّا سُرِّيَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ فَكَانَ أَوَّلُ كَلِمَةٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا أَنْ قَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ احْمَدِي اللَّهَ فَقَدْ بَرَّأَكِ اللَّهُ» فَقَالَتْ لِي أُمِّي قَوْمِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لَا وَاللَّهِ لَا أَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ وَلَا أَحْمَدُ إِلَّا اللَّهَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى «{إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالْإِفْكِ عَصَبَةٌ مِنْكُمْ} فَلَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ هَذَا فِي بَرَاءَتِي قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ ؓ وَكَانَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ لِقَرَابَتِهِ مِنْهُ وَاللَّهِ لَا أُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ شَيْئًا أَبَدًا بَعْدَمَا قَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {وَلَا يَأْتَلِ أُولُو الْفَضْلِ مِنْكُمْ وَالسَّعَةِ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ} فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لِي فَرَجَعَ إِلَى مِسْطَحٍ بِالَّذِي كَانَ يُجْرِي عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَأَلَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ عَنْ أَمْرِي فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحْمِي سَمْعِي وَبَصْرِي وَكَانَتْ تُسَامِينِي فَعَصَمَهَا اللَّهُ بِالْوَرَعِ
