Hadith Jibril on Imān, Islam, and Ihsan

the first man who discussed Qadar (Divine Decree) in Baṣrah was Maʿbad al-Juhanī. I along with Ḥumayd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Ḥimyarī set out for pilgrimage or for ʿUmrah and said: Should it so happen that we come into contact with one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we shall ask him about what is talked about Qadar. Accidentally we came across ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb, while he was entering the mosque. My companion and I surrounded him. One of us ˹stood˺ on his right and the other stood on his left. I expected that my companion would authorize me to speak. I, therefore, said: Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, there have appeared some people in our land who recite the Quran and pursue knowledge. And then after talking about their affairs, added: They claim that there is no such thing as Qadar and events are not predestined. He said: When you happen to meet such people tell them that I have nothing to do with them and they have nothing to do with me. And verily they are in no way responsible for my ˹belief˺. ʿAbdullāh b ʿUmar swore by Allah: If any one of them had with him gold equal to the bulk of ˹the mountain˺ Uḥud and spent it ˹for the sake of Allah˺, Allah would not accept it unless he affirmed his faith in the Qadar.

He further said: My father, ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb, told me: One day we were sitting in the company of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when there appeared before us a man dressed in pure white clothes. His hair was extraordinarily black. There were no signs of travel on him. None amongst us recognized him. At last, he sat with the Prophet ﷺ. He knelt before him placed his palms on his thighs,

then said: Muhammad, inform me about Islam. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Islam implies that: (1) you testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and (2) you establish prayer, (3) pay Zakat, (4) observe the fast of Ramadan, and (5) perform pilgrimage to the (House) if you are solvent enough ˹to bear the expense of˺ the journey. ˹The inquirer˺ said: You have told the truth. ˹ʿUmar˺ said: It amazed us that he would put the question and then he would himself verify the truth.

˹The inquirer˺ said: Inform me about Iman (faith). He replied: That (1) you affirm your faith in Allah, (2) in His angels, (3) in His Books, (4) in His Apostles, (5) in the Day of Judgment, and (6) you affirm your faith in the Divine Decree about good and evil. ˹The inquirer˺ said: You have told the truth.

˹The inquirer˺ again said: Inform me about Iḥsān (excellence in deeds). He said: That (1) you worship Allah as if you are seeing Him, (2) for though you don't see Him, He, verily, sees you.

˹The inquirer˺ again said: Inform me about the Hour (of the Last Day). He remarked: One who is asked knows no more than the one who is inquiring. ˹The inquirer˺ said: Tell me some of its indications. He said: That (1) the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress and master, that (2) you will find barefooted, destitute goat herders vying with one another in the construction of magnificent buildings.

˹ʿUmar˺ said: Then ˹the inquirer˺ went on his way but I stayed with (the Prophet) for a long while. He then, said to me: "ʿUmar, do you know who this inquirer was?" I replied: Allah and His Messenger know best. He remarked: "He was Jibrīl (Angel Gabriel). He came to you in order to teach you in your religion."  

كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ قَالَ فِي الْقَدَرِ بِالْبَصْرَةِ مَعْبَدٌ الْجُهَنِيُّ۔ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَحُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ حَاجَّيْنِ أَوْ مُعْتَمِرَيْنِ، فَقُلْنَا لَوْ لَقِينَا أَحَدًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَمَّا يَقُولُ هَؤُلاَءِ فِي الْقَدَرِ۔ فَوُفِّقَ لَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ دَاخِلاً الْمَسْجِدَ فَاكْتَنَفْتُهُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبِي أَحَدُنَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَالآخَرُ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ۔ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ صَاحِبِي سَيَكِلُ الْكَلاَمَ إِلَىَّ۔ فَقُلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: إِنَّهُ قَدْ ظَهَرَ قِبَلَنَا نَاسٌ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَتَقَفَّرُونَ الْعِلْمَ وَذَكَرَ مِنْ شَأْنِهِمْ وَأَنَّهُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنْ لاَ قَدَرَ، وَأَنَّ الأَمْرَ أُنُفٌ۔ قَالَ: فَإِذَا لَقِيتَ أُولَئِكَ فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِنْهُمْ وَأَنَّهُمْ بُرَآءُ مِنِّي، وَالَّذِي يَحْلِفُ بِهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ لَوْ أَنَّ لأَحَدِهِمْ مِثْلَ أُحُدٍ ذَهَبًا فَأَنْفَقَهُ، مَا قَبِلَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ۔

ثُمَّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِذْ طَلَعَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ شَدِيدُ بَيَاضِ الثِّيَابِ، شَدِيدُ سَوَادِ الشَّعَرِ۔ لاَ يُرَى عَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ السَّفَرِ وَلاَ يَعْرِفُهُ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ۔ حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَسْنَدَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ إِلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَوَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ۔

وَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإِسْلاَمِ۔ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «الإِسْلاَمُ (١) أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، (٢) وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلاَةَ، (٣) وَتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ، (٤) وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ، (٥) وَتَحُجَّ الْبَيْتَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلاً۔» قَالَ: صَدَقْتَ۔ قَالَ: فَعَجِبْنَا لَهُ يَسْأَلُهُ وَيُصَدِّقُهُ!

قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإِيمَانِ۔ قَالَ: «أَنْ (١) تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ، (٢) وَمَلاَئِكَتِهِ، (٣) وَكُتُبِهِ، (٤) وَرُسُلِهِ، (٥) وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ، (٦) وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ۔» قَالَ: صَدَقْتَ۔

قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإِحْسَانِ۔ قَالَ: «أَنْ (١) تَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ، (٢) فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ۔»

قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ السَّاعَةِ۔ قَالَ: «مَا الْمَسْئُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنَ السَّائِلِ۔» قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ أَمَارَتِهَا۔ قَالَ: «أَنْ تَلِدَ الأَمَةُ رَبَّتَهَا، وَأَنْ تَرَى الْحُفَاةَ الْعُرَاةَ الْعَالَةَ رِعَاءَ الشَّاءِ يَتَطَاوَلُونَ فِي الْبُنْيَانِ۔»

قَالَ: ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ فَلَبِثْتُ مَلِيًّا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا عُمَرُ أَتَدْرِي مَنِ السَّائِلُ؟» قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ۔ قَالَ: «فَإِنَّهُ جِبْرِيلُ أَتَاكُمْ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ دِينَكُمْ۔»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed one day, and ascended the pulpit, and he never used to ascend it, before that, except on Fridays. The people were alarmed by that, and some were standing and some were sitting. He gestured to them with his hand, telling them to sit. (Then he said:) 'By Allah, I am not standing here for something that will benefit you, an exhortation or warning. Rather Tamim Dari has come to me and told me something that prevented me from taking a rest because of the joy and delight (I felt), and I wanted to spread that joy among you. A cousin of Tamim Dari told me that the wind drove them to an island that they did not know, so they sat in the rowing boats of the ship and set out. There they saw something black, with long eyelashes. They said to it: "What are you?" It said: "I am Jassasah," They said: "Tell us." It said: "I will not tell you anything or ask you anything. Rather there is this monastery that you have looked at. Go to it, for there is a man there who is longing to hear your news and tell you news." So they went there and entered upon him, and they saw an old man firmly shackled, with a sorrowful appearance and complaining a great deal. He said to them: "Where have you come from?" They said: "From Sham." He said: "How are the Arabs faring?" They said: "We are from among the Arabs. What do you want to ask about?" He said: "What has this man done who has appeared among you?" They said: "(He has done) well. He made enemies of some people, but Allah supported him against them and now they have become one, with one God and one religion." He said: "What happened to the spring of Zughar?" They said: "It is good; we irrigate out crops from it and drink from it." He said: "What happened to the date-palms between 'Amman and Baisan?" They said: "They bear fruit every year." He said: "What happened to the Lake of Tiberias?" They said: "It overflows because of the abundance of water." He gave three deep sighs, then he said: "If I were to free myself from these chains, I would not leave any land without entering it on these two feet of mine, except for Taibah, for I have no way to enter it." The Prophet ﷺ said: 'My joy is so great. This (Al-Madinah) is Taibah, and by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, there is no narrow or broad road in it, or any plain or mountain, but there is an angel (standing) over it with his sword unsheathed, until the Day of Resurrection.'"

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , it is narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one day and performed the prayer of migration, then he sat down. The people became startled, so he said, "Sit down, O people, for I did not rise from my place due to fear. Rather, Tamim Ad-Dari came to me and informed me of news that prevented me from experiencing joy and comfort. I wanted to share with you the joy of your Prophet. He informed me that a group from his cousins, the Banu 'Amir, had embarked on the sea, and they were struck by a violent wind. The wind brought them to an island they did not recognize. They sat in their boat until they arrived at the island. Then, they found a creature with a lot of hair that they were unsure if it was a man or a woman. They greeted it, and it returned their greeting. They said, 'Will you not inform us?' It said, 'I do not inform you, nor do I seek information from you. But in this monastery, there is someone who longingly awaits to inform you and seek information from you.' They said, 'Who are you?' It said, 'I am Al-Jassasah.' So, they set off until they reached the monastery. There, they found a man chained up, heavily bound, showing signs of great sadness and complaining a lot. They greeted him, and he returned their greetings. They asked him, 'Who are you?' He said, 'I am from the Arabs.' They asked, 'What have the Arabs done?' He said, 'Has their Prophet come forth after me?' They said, 'Yes.' He asked, 'What have they done?' They said, 'They have believed in him and affirmed him.' He said, 'That is good for them.' He had an enemy, and Allah exposed him to them. They asked, 'Are the Arabs today with one God, one religion, and one word?' They said, 'Yes.' He asked, 'What has happened to the spring of Zughar?' They said, 'The people drink from it, and their crops are irrigated by it.' He asked, 'What has happened to the date palm tree between 'Ammān and Bayt al-Maqdis?' They said, 'It produces fruit every year.' He asked, 'What has happened to the lake of Tabariyyah?' They said, 'It is full.' He sighed deeply, then sighed deeply again, then sighed deeply a third time. He swore, 'By the One in Whose Hands is the Life of Muhammad, it is as though if I were to leave my place right now, I would not leave behind any land belonging to Allah, except that I would tread upon it, except for Taibah. There is no authority for me over it.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'So, thus my joy reaches its peak. Surely, Allah has made Mecca and Medina sacred, and forbidden for the Dajjal to enter. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ swore, 'By the One besides whom there is no deity, there is no path, narrow or wide, in the east which is not guarded by an appointed angel with a drawn sword until the Day of Resurrection. The Dajjal will not be able to enter upon its inhabitants.' 'Amir commented, 'So, I met Al-Muharrir ibn Abi Hurayrah, and I narrated this Hadith to him. He said, 'I bear witness by my father that he narrated to me as you have narrated from Fatimah bint Qays.' However, he said, 'The two sanctuaries are sacred: Makkah and Medina.'

[Machine] On a certain day, the Prophet ﷺ came quickly and ascended the pulpit. It was announced to the people to gather for a congregational prayer. The people assembled, and he said, "O people, I did not call you out of desire or fear, but Tamim ad-Dari has informed me that a group of people from the people of Palestine embarked on a ship and were tossed by the wind onto an island from the islands of the sea. Suddenly, they found themselves before a creature with a lot of hair, and they could not determine if it was male or female due to its excessive hair. They asked, 'Who are you?' It replied, 'I am the Jassasah.' They said, 'Inform us.' It said, 'I am not here to inform or give you any information. However, in this monastery, there is a poor man who is eager to inform you and provide you with the information you seek.' They entered the monastery, and found a blind and cross-eyed man bound in iron. They asked, 'Who are you?' He said, 'We are the Arabs.' He asked, 'Has the Prophet been sent among you?' They replied, 'Yes.' He asked, 'Do the Arabs follow him?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'That is good for them.' Then he asked, 'What has happened to Persia? Have they shown any signs of following him?' They said, 'No, they have not.' He said, 'They will soon be shown signs.' Then he asked, 'What has happened to the spring of Zughar?' They replied, 'It is flowing as usual.' He asked, 'What has happened to Lake Tiberias?' They replied, 'It is also flowing as usual.' He asked, 'What has happened to the palm trees of Baysan? Are they still bearing fruit?' They replied, 'Yes, their first fruits have ripened.' At that, he jumped up, thinking he would fall and run away. They asked, 'Who are you?' He said, 'I am the Dajjal. Surely, I will traverse the entire Earth, except for Makkah and Madinah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Give glad tidings to the Muslim community, for this city of Madinah will not be entered by the Dajjal."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَاءَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ مُسْرِعًا فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَنُودِيَ فِي النَّاسِ الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ فَاجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي لَمْ أَدْعُكُمْ لِرَغْبَةٍ نَزَلَتْ وَلَا لِرَهْبَةٍ وَلَكِنَّ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِيَّ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ فِلَسْطِينَ رَكِبُوا الْبَحْرَ فَقَذَفَتْهُمُ الرِّيحُ إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ مِنْ جَزَائِرِ الْبَحْرِ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِدَابَّةٍ أَشْعَرَ لَا يُدْرَى أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى مِنْ كَثْرَةِ شَعْرِهِ فَقَالُوا مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَتْ أَنَا الْجَسَّاسَةُ قَالُوا فَأَخْبِرِينَا قَالَتْ مَا أَنَا بِمُخْبِرَتِكُمْ وَلَا بِمُسْتَخْبِرَتِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ فِي هَذَا الدَّيْرِ رَجُلٌ فَقِيرٌ إِلَى أَنْ يُخْبِرَكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْبِرَكُمْ فَدَخَلُوا الدَّيْرَ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ ضَرِيرٌ وَمُصَفَّدٌ فِي الْحَدِيدِ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنْتُمْ؟ قُلْنَا نَحْنُ الْعَرَبُ قَالَهَلْ بُعِثَ فِيكُمُ النَّبِيُّ؟ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَهَلْ اتَّبَعَهُ الْعَرَبُ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ ذَاكَ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ فَارِسُ؟ هَلْ ظَهَرَ عَلَيْهَا؟ قَالُوا لَمْ يَظْهَرْ عَلَيْهَا بَعْدُ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيَظْهَرُ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ عَيْنُ زُغَرَ؟ قَالُوا هِيَ تَدْفُقُ مَلْأَى قَالَ فَمَا فَعَلَتْ بُحَيْرَةُ طَبَرِيَّةَ؟ قَالُوا هِيَ تَدْفُقُ مَلْأَى قَالَ فَمَا فَعَلَتْ نَخْلُ بَيْسَانَ؟ هَلْ أَطْعَمَ بَعْدُ؟ قَالُوا قَدْ أَطْعَمَ أَوَائِلُهُ قَالَ فَوَثَبَ وَثْبَةً ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيَفْلِتُ فَقُلْنَا مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ أَنَا الدَّجَّالُ أَمَا إِنِّي سَأَطَأُ الْأَرْضَ كُلَّهَا غَيْرَ مَكَّةَ وَطَيْبَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَبْشِرُوا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ طَيْبَةُ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا الدَّجَّالُ  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, she said: One day, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and prayed the prayer of migration, then he sat down. The people became startled, so he said, "Sit, O people, for I did not rise from my place due to fear, but rather Tamim Ad-Dari came to me and informed me of news that deprived me of sleep and comfort. So I wanted to share with you the joy of your Prophet ﷺ. He informed me that a group from his relatives, the Banu 'Amir, rode the sea and a fierce wind overcame them. The wind pushed them towards an unknown island. They sat in wooden boats until they reached the island. Then they found a creature with a lot of hair, not knowing if it was a man or a woman. They greeted the creature with salaam, and the creature replied with salaam. They said, 'Can you inform us?' The creature replied, 'I am not here to inform you or ask for information. However, this monastery became a hardship for you. Inside, there is someone who has been yearning to tell you and ask you about their fate. They said, 'Who are you?' She said, 'I am the spy.' So they went until they reached the monastery. There they found a man who was severely bound, showing a lot of sadness and complaining. They greeted him, and he replied, asking, 'Who are you?' They said, 'We are from the Arabs.' He said, 'What have the Arabs done? Did their Prophet emerge?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'What did they do?' They said, 'They believed in him and affirmed his truthfulness.' He said, 'That is better for them.' He had an enemy, and Allah made him manifest to them. He said, 'So are the Arabs today united in their religion and their word?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'So what did the spring of Zughar do?' They said, 'It is wholesome. Its people drink from it, and their crops are irrigated by it.' He said, 'So what did the palm tree between 'Amman and Bayt Al-Maqdis do?' They said, 'Good. Its vegetation feeds its camels every year.' He said, 'So what did the Lake of Tiberias do?' They said, 'Full.' He said, 'So it sighed, and sighed, and sighed, and then he swore by Allah who there is none worthy of worship except Him, 'By Allah, there is no narrow road or wide road in the flat or mountain except that there is an angel holding a drawn sword until the Day of Resurrection, preventing Ad-Dajjal from entering it.' He said, 'Then I met Al-Muharrar bin Abi Hurayrah, and I informed him of the Hadith of Fatimah bint Qays. He testified to what I testified, except that he said, 'I bear witness that 'Aishah also narrated to me like she narrated to you, Fatimah.' Except that she said, 'The two sanctuaries are sacred: Makkah and Al-Madinah.'"

[Machine] I went with a man until we entered upon Fatimah bint Qays, the sister of Dihyah bin Qays. We said, "O Fatimah, tell us a narration that you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She said, "Yes." So she gave us dates and water to drink. She said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one day and sat on the pulpit. The people surrounded him and took refuge with him. He said, 'O people, I have been made to sit here due to a piece of news.' She said, 'And it was not on the hour that he used to sit in. Tameem Ad-Dari entered upon me today during the migration or around Dhuhr time. He informed me that his cousins were thrown into a ship in the sea on an island that they do not know. So they went into it, walking, and they came across something that they did not recognize if it was a man or a woman, from what it was clothed with hair. So they said, 'Who are you?' It said, 'I am the Jassasah!' They said, 'Inform us.' It said, 'I do not inform you, nor do I ask you anything. But if you want the news, go to this monastery,' pointing to a monastery on the island, not far away. So we went on walking until we entered it and found a man who was bound with iron, large and heavy. His back was leaning against the side of a mountain. He said, 'Who are you?' We said, 'People from the Arabs.' He said, 'What did the unlettered Prophet ﷺ do?' We said, 'He has left.' He said, 'What did the date-palms of Bani Uman and Baysan do?' We said, 'They bear fruits and produce.' He said, 'What did the spring of Zughar do?' We said, 'It remains the same.' He said, 'What did the lake of Tabariyyah do?' We said, 'It is full.' He struck his hand upon his thigh and said, 'I have lost everything of the land except Makkah and Madinah.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Madinah will be shaken one, twice. No dajjal shall enter it. There is no spot in it that is not guarded by angels, except that they shall stand upon a rock, raising the sword.' And he pointed with his hand, 'And from the direction of Yemen is what?' We said, 'Whatever Allah wills.' Then he said, while pointing with his hand, 'And his shirt is close to thirty times the size from the direction of Iraq and it is not less than thirty times.'

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for a congregational prayer at a time when he had never done so before. People went to the mosque and the Prophet ﷺ came and ascended the pulpit. Then he said, "I warn you against the Dajjal (Antichrist) three times. He was not mentioned before, but he will soon appear among you, O nation. Tamim Ad-Dari informed me that he embarked on a sea voyage with a group of people, including Lakhm and Judham. Strong winds blew them to an island from the islands of the Sham (Greater Syria). They landed on its coast, where they found a chained woman. They asked her, 'Who are you?' She said, 'I am the Jassasah.' They asked her, 'What is the Jassasah?' She said, 'Inform me about yourselves first.' She said, 'What brought you here?' They said, 'We are Arabs, sailing on this sea, and then the wind blew us to your island. Who are you?' She said, 'I do not want to inform you.' They said, 'Inform us.' She said, 'Do you have a prophet amongst you?' They said, 'Yes.' She said, 'What has been done by the people?' They said, 'Some followed him and some abandoned him.' She said, 'I ask you whether people follow him when he enforces his commands.' They said, 'Yes.' She said, 'I believe that he is the Prophet who will come; he is the one whose description matches the person I met. If I were to go to him, I would follow him.' Then she asked them about the date-palm trees of Baysan. They replied, 'Big and good.' She asked about the spring of Zughar. They replied, 'Abundant and flowing; it quenches the thirst of the one who reaches it.' She asked, 'Is there a narrow mountain pass near it?' They replied, 'Yes.' She said, 'By Allah, this is how the mountain pass will be when he enters it, because he will be unable to pass through it.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'This is Makkah and this is Al-Madinah.' Allah has made them sacred, as Abraham made Makkah sacred. There is no passage through them without an angel stationed, holding a sword, barring the way before the Dajjal until the Day of Judgment."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَادَى «الصَّلَاةَ جَامِعَةً» فِي سَاعَةٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُنَادِي فِيهَا فَخَرَجَ النَّاسُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أُنْذِرُكُمُ الدَّجَّالَ ثَلَاثًا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيمَا مَضَى وَإِنَّهُ كَائِنٌ فِيكُمْ أَيَّتُهَا الْأُمَّةُ وَإِنَّ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِيَّ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ رَكِبَ بَحْرَ الشَّامِ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ لَخْمٍ وَجُذَامٍ فَأَلْقَتْهُمُ الرِّيحَ إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ مِنْ جَزَائِرِهِ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِالدَّهْمَاءِ تَجُرُّ شَعْرَهَا فَقَالُوا مَا أَنْتِ؟ قَالَتْ أَنَا الْجَسَّاسَةُ قَالُوا أَخْبِرِينَا قَالَتْ مَا أَنَا بِمُخْبِرِكُمْ وَلَا اسْتَخْبَرْتُكُمْ وَلَكِنِ ائْتُوا رَجُلًا فِي هَذَا الدَّيْرِ فَإِنَّهُ إِلَى خَبَرِكُمْ بِالْأَشْوَاقِ فَأَتَوْهُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مَمْسُوحُ الْعَيْنِ مَوْثُوقٌ إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ فِي الْحَدِيدِ فَقَالَ مَا أَنْتُمْ؟ قَالُوا نَحْنُ الْعَرَبُ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتِ الْعَرَبُ؟ قُلْنَا بُعِثَ إِلَيْهِمْ نَبِيٌّ أُمِّيٌّ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللهِ قَالَ فَمَا فَعَلَ النَّاسُ؟ قَالُوا اتَّبَعَهُ قَوْمٌ وَتَرَكَهُ قَوْمٌ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُمْ إِنْ يَتَّبِعُونَهُ وَيُصَدِّقُونَهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتِ الْعَرَبُ؟ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ لِباسُهُمْ؟ قُلْنَا صُوفٌ وَقُطْنٌ تَغْزِلُهُ نِسَاؤُهُمْ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَيْهَاتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ نَخْلُ بَيْسَانَ؟ قُلْنَا قَوِيَ ونَجِدُها فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَيْهَاتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ عَيْنُ زُغَرٍ؟ قُلْنَا كَثِيرٌ مَاؤُهَا يَتَدَفَّقُ يَرْوِي مَنْ أَتَاهَا فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَيْهَاتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْ قَدْ أَطْلَقَنِي اللهُ مِنْ وَثَاقِي لَمْ يَبْقَ مَنْهَلٌ إِلَّا دَخَلْتُهُ إِلَّا مَكَّةَ وَطَيْبَةَ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي دُخُولُهُما قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «تِلْكَ مَكَّةُ وَهَذِهِ طَيْبَةُ حَرَّمَهَا اللهُ كَمَا حَرَّمَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَكَّةَ أَمَا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ نَقْبٌ وَلَا سِكَّةٌ إِلَّا وَعَلَيْهَا مَلَكٌ شَاهِرٌ للسَّيْفِ يَمْنَعُهَا مِنَ الدَّجَّالِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

[Machine] While the people in the city had no fear, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out and performed the noon prayer. Then, he walked until he climbed the pulpit, which startled the people. When he saw their faces, he said, "O people, I did not come out to cause you alarm, but rather a matter came to me that brought me joy, so I wanted to inform you of the joy of your Prophet. Tamim Al-Dari informed me that his cousins, the people of Banu Amm, embarked on the sea until their ship reached an unknown island. They began to walk, and suddenly they found a man whom they did not know if it was a male or female, due to the abundance of hair on their body. They asked, 'Who are you?' The person replied, 'I am Al-Jassasah.' They demanded to be taken to the monastery, where they found a man tied up, who was extremely distressed. They asked, 'Who are you?' The man replied, 'I am from the people of Palestine, from the Arabian Peninsula.' They asked, 'Has your Prophet appeared?' He answered, 'Yes.' They asked, 'What did he do?' The man said, 'Some people pledged allegiance to him, while others opposed and fought him. I fought those who opposed him until the people of Al-Hijr and Al-Madhar gave him allegiance.' They asked, 'What happened to the lake of Tabariyah?' He replied, 'It is full and overflowing.' They asked, 'What happened to the Zughar spring?' He replied, 'Its water is also overflowing.' They asked, 'What about the date palms between 'Uman and Baysan?' He replied, 'They are abundant in fruit.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If I were not restrained by my oath, I would have walked on the Earth except into Al-Tayyibah.' 'Amr said, 'I met Muḥarrar bin Abi Hurayrah and narrated the story to him. He asked, 'Did it contain anything else?' I replied, 'No.' He said, 'You speak the truth, I bear witness on behalf of Abu Hurayrah that he narrated this to me and added more to it.' Then he said, 'What is the Mediterranean Sea?' 'What is the Euphrates River?' He pointed twenty times with his hand towards the east. I met 'Abdullah bin Abu Bakr and narrated the story to him. He asked, 'Did it contain anything else?' I replied, 'No.' He said, 'You speak the truth, I bear witness on behalf of 'Aisha that she narrated this to me, but she said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "And there is nothing but good in Al-Madina".'"

[Machine] Amr Al-Shabi narrated to me, Fatimah bint Qais said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one day and prayed the prayer of migration, then he sat down and the people were startled. He said, "O people, I did not leave my place out of fear, but Tamim Al-Dari came to me and told me news that prevented me from taking a nap with joy and ease. So I wanted to give you the good news of your Prophet. He informed me that a group of his relatives from the Banu 'Amir rode the sea and a storm struck them, so they took refuge on an island. They sat near a ship until they boarded the island, and suddenly they saw a creature with a lot of hair, they did not know whether it was a man or a woman. They greeted him and he responded. They said, 'Will you not tell us who you are?' He replied, 'I am not informing you nor am I interrogating you, but there is someone in this monastery who is eager to inform you and to interrogate you.' They asked, 'And who are you?' He said, 'I am the spy.' So they set out until they reached the monastery, and they found a man who was tightly bound in iron chains, looking very sad and complaining a lot. They greeted him and he responded. They asked, 'Who are you?' He said, 'I am from the Arabs.' They asked, 'What did the Arabs do to their Prophet after he was expelled?' They said, 'They believed in him, followed him, and confirmed him.' He said, 'That is good for them.' They asked, 'Did he have any enemies?' He said, 'Yes, and Allah supported him over them.' They asked, 'Do the Arabs have one God?' He said, 'Yes.' They asked, 'Do they have one word?' He said, 'Yes.' They asked, 'Do they have one religion?' He said, 'Yes.' They asked, 'What did 'Uyaynah bin Hisn do?' They said, 'He distributed the water of the wells to his people, and they watered their crops with it.' They asked, 'What did the palm tree between 'Umman and Bayssan do?' They said, 'It provides shade for its branches every year.' They asked, 'What did Lake Tabariyyah do?' They said, 'It is full.' He exclaimed, 'Then he sighed twice and said, 'By Allah, if I were to go out of my place here, I would not leave any land of Allah's except that I would tread it, except for Taibah, for it is not mine to tread on. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, this is one of the things that make me happy.' He said that three times. Indeed, Taibah is Al-Madinah. Then Allah has made it forbidden for the Dajjal. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ swore, 'By Allah, who there is no god but He, there is no narrow path or wide valley for it, nor any mountain, except that it has an angel standing with a drawn sword until the Day of Resurrection. The Dajjal cannot enter it with its people.' Al-Shabi said, 'So I met Al-Muharrar ibn Abi Hurairah and I narrated to him the Hadith of Fatimah, and he said, 'I bear witness that my father narrated to me as Fatimah narrated to you, except that he said, 'It is in the east.' Then I met Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad and he said, 'I bear witness that 'A'ishah narrated to me as Fatimah narrated to you, except that she said, 'The two sanctuaries are Haram for it: Makkah and Al-Madinah.' And the wording of the Hadith is according to the Hadith of Yahya bin Sa'id and the others similar to it.

[Machine] Abu 'Umar ad-Darir and Abu 'Umar al-Hawdi said: Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, I am Dawud ibn Abi Hind, from 'Amir ash-Sha'bi, from Fatimah bint Qays al-Fihriyah, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came one day hastening until he ascended the pulpit and the call to prayer was made for the people to pray in congregation. So he delivered a sermon and said: "I did not call you out of desire or fear, but Tamim ad-Dari informed me that a group from the people of Palestine embarked on a sea voyage, and the wind cast them onto an island from among the islands of the sea. There, they found a creature with long hair, the likes of which they had never seen before. They asked, 'Who are you?' It said, 'I am the Spy.' They asked, 'Inform us about ourselves.' It said, 'I am not the one who informs you or who can be informed by you. But in this monastery, there is a man who can inform you and you can ask him out of longing.' So they entered the monastery and found a man shackled with iron. They asked, 'Who are you?' He said, 'Who are you?' They said, 'We are Arabs.' He asked, 'Has the Prophet appeared among you?' They said, 'Yes.' He asked, 'Have the Arabs followed him?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Is it better for them that they have done so?' They said, 'Yes.' He asked, 'Has it appeared in Persia?' They said, 'No.' He said, 'Indeed, it will appear among them.' Then he asked, 'What did the one-eyed do?' They said, 'He caused much harm.' He asked, 'What happened to the Lake of Tabariyah?' They said, 'It dried up, leaving behind a meadow.' He asked, 'What happened to the date palm of Bayhan?' They said, 'It has fed its early fruits and leapt as though it would escape from its restraints.' Then he said to them, 'I am the Dajjal. I am going to emerge and will not leave any land except Makkah and Madinah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Give glad tidings, for the Muslims have been given good news. This is the land of Taibah (Madinah), it will not be entered by the Dajjal.'"  

ثنا أَبُو عُمَرَ الضَّرِيرُ وَأَبُو عُمَرَ الْحَوْضِيُّ قَالُوا ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ الْفِهْرِيَّةِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ جَاءَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ مُسْرِعًا حَتَّى صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ وَنُودِيَ فِي النَّاسِ الصَّلَاةَ جَامِعَةً فَخَطَبَهُمْ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَدْعُكُمْ لِرَغْبَةٍ وَلَا لِرَهْبَةٍ نَزَلَتْ وَلَكِنَّ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِيَّ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ قَوْمًا مِنْ أَهْلِ فِلَسْطِينَ رَكِبُوا الْبَحْرَ فَأَلْقَتْهُمُ الرِّيحُ إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ مِنْ جَزَائِرِ الْبَحْرِ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِدَابَّةٍ أَشْعُرُ لَا نَدْرِي أَذَكَرٌ هُوَ أَمْ أُنْثَى لِكَثْرَةِ شَعْرِهَا فَقَالُوا مَا أَنْتِ؟ قَالَتْ أَنَا الْجَسَّاسَةُ قَالُوا فَأَخْبِرِينَا قَالَتْ مَا أَنَا بِمُخْبِرَتِكُمْ وَلَا مُسْتَخْبِرَتِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ فِي هَذَا الدَّيْرِ رَجُلٌ هُوَ إِلَى أَنْ يُخْبِرَكُمْ وتَسْتَخْبِرُونَهُ بِالْأَشْوَاقِ فَدَخَلُوا الدَّيْرَ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِالرَّجُلِ مُصَفَّدٌ بِالْحَدِيدِ فَقَالُوا مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ مَنْ أَنْتُمْ؟ قَالُوا نَحْنُ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ ظَهَرَ مِنْكُمُ النَّبِيُّ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاتَّبَعَتْهُ الْعَرَبُ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ أَمَا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ قَالَ هَلْ ظَهَرَ عَلَى فَارِسَ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيَظْهَرُ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ عَيْنُ زُغَرٍ؟ قَالُوا هِيَ تَتَدَفَّقُ مَلْأَى قَالَ فَمَا فَعَلَتْ بُحَيْرَةُ الطَّبَرِيَّةِ؟ قَالُوا هِيَ تَتَدَفَّقُ مَلْأَى قَالَ فَمَا فَعَلَ نَخْلُ بَيْسَانَ؟ قَالُوا قَدْ أَطْعَمَ أَوَائِلَهُ فَوَثَبَ حَتَّى ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُ سَيُفْلِتُ مِنْ قُيُودِهِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَنَا الدَّجَّالُ أَمَا أَنِّي سَأَطَأُ الْأَرْضَ كُلَّهَا إِلَّا مَكَّةَ وَطَيْبَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَبْشِرُوا فَبَشَّرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ هَذِهِ طَيْبَةُ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا»  

[Machine] I entered the city and sat by the pulpit. A man approached and sat next to me. He asked if I could direct him to someone who could tell him about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . So, he accompanied me to Fatimah bint Qays, who said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood on the pulpit and the people heard about it. The people gathered and became excited. I was among those who went to him and I heard him say, "Tameem ad-Dari informed me that his cousins boarded a ship in the sea to do trade. The wind blew them to an island. As they landed or whoever from among them went out, they found a man covered in hair who could not be identified as male or female. They asked him about news, and he said the news is with the owner of this monastery, and I am the messenger. So, they went to the monastery, and there they found a man chained with iron and asked him who he was. He told them, 'What did the Prophet of the Arabs do after he left?' They replied, 'Yes, he did.' He asked them who followed him, the common people or the elite. They replied, 'The common people.' He asked if their number increased or decreased. They replied, 'It increased.' He asked if anyone went back from among those who followed him. They replied, 'No.' He said, 'This is good for them. How is the lake of Tabariyyah?' They replied, 'It has water.' He asked, 'How about the date-palm trees of Baysan?' They replied, 'They are carrying fruit.' He asked, 'How about the spring of Zughar?' They replied, 'It has water.' He said, 'If he invited me, I would have trodden with my foot on all this land, except Taiba.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'This is Taiba, on every side of which is an angel with a drawn sword, its sword aimed at the enemy.'"  

دَخَلْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَجَلَسْتُ عِنْدَ الْمِنْبَرِ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَجَلَسَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَدُلُّنِي عَلَى رَجُلٍ يُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقَ بِي إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ فَقَالَتْ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَسَمِعَ النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ قَامَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَأَقْبَلَ النَّاسُ يَشْتَدُّونَ وَكُنْتُ مِمَّنْ أَتَاهُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي تَمِيمٌ الدَّارِيُّ أَنَّ بَنِي عَمٍّ لَهُ رَكِبُوا فِي سَفِينَةٍ لَهُمْ فِي الْبَحْرِ تُجَّارًا فَضَرَبَتْ بِهِمُ الرِّيحُ إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ فَخَرَجُوا أَوْ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْهُمْ هَلْ يَرَوْنَ أَحَدًا؟ حَتَّى لَقِيَهُمْ مَنْ غَطَّاهُ الشَّعْرُ مَا يَسْتَبِينُ مِنْهُ ذَاكَ أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى قَالُوا الْخَبَرُ قَالَ الْخَبَرُ عِنْدَ صَاحِبِ هَذَا الدَّيْرِ فَأَنَا الْجَسَّاسُ فَأَتَوُا الدَّيْرَ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مُوقَرٌ بِالْحَدِيدِ فَسَأَلَهُمْ مِمَّنْ هُمْ؟ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَ نَبِيُّ الْعَرَبِ أَخْرَجَ بَعْدُ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ مَنْ يَتْبَعُهُ السَّفَلَةُ أَمْ أَشْرَافُ النَّاسِ قَالُوا يَتْبَعُهُ السُّفَهَاءُ قَالَ يَكْثُرُونَ أَمْ يَقِلُّونَ؟ قَالُوا يَكْثُرُونَ قَالَ يَرْجِعُ أَحَدٌ مِمَّنْ أَتَاهُ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ مَا فَعَلَتْ بُحَيْرَةُ الطَّبَرِيَّةِ هَلْ فِيهَا مَاءٌ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَ نَخْلُ بَيْسَانَ هَلْ تَحْمِلُ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ عَيْنُ زُغَرٍ هَلْ فِيهَا مَاءٌ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ أَمَا أَنَّهُ لَوْ قَدْ آذَنَ لِي لَقَدْ وَطَأْتُ بِرِجْلِي هَذِهِ الْأَرْضَ كُلَّهَا غَيْرَ طَيْبَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «وَهَذِهِ طَيْبَةُ عَلَى كُلِّ نَقْبٍ مِنْهَا مَلَكٌ شَاهِرٌ سَيْفَهُ نَحْوَ الْعِرَاقِ مَا هُوَ نَحْوَ الْعِرَاقِ مَا هُوَ»  

[Machine] I saw Umar ibn Al-Khattab before he was struck by the days in Medina. He stood with Hudhaifah ibn Al-Yaman and Uthman ibn Hunayf and said, "How have you two managed to bear the burden of the earth that it cannot bear?" They said, "We have carried it by a command that it can bear." Hudhaifah said, "If I were to carry it, it would be weakened." Uthman ibn Hunayf said, "I have carried it by a command that it can bear, without any great favor." Umar then said, "See that you have not carried the burden of the earth that it cannot bear." They said, "No." Umar said, "If Allah grants me safety, I will leave the widows of Iraq without needing any man after me." He said, "Only four things came upon him until he was struck." He said, "And between me and him, there is no one except Abdullah ibn Abbas in the morning." He said, "And he used to stand between the rows. If he saw any disorder among them, he would say, 'Stand still until there is no disorder among them.' Then he would proceed and say the takbir." He said, "And perhaps he would recite Surah Yusuf or An-Nahl or something similar in the first raka'a until the people gathered." He said, "And it was only that he would say the takbir." He said, "I heard him say, 'The dog has killed me or the dog has eaten me,' when he was stabbed. Then he flew out of the wound with a double-edged knife that would not pass by anyone to the right or left except that it would stab him, until he stabbed thirteen men and nine of them died. When he saw that, a Muslim man threw a cloak on him. When the assassin thought that he had taken hold of him, he slit his own throat." He said, "And Umar held the hand of Abdullah ibn Awf and brought him forward." He said, "Who will take care of Umar? He has seen what he has seen." He said, "Regarding the surroundings of the mosque, they did not know anything except that they had lost the voice of Umar while they were saying, 'Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah.' Abdul-Rahman ibn Awf led them in a light prayer. When they finished, Umar said, 'O Ibn Abbas, see who killed me.' He went for a while and then came back and said, 'The slave of Al-Mughirah killed him.' He said, 'Really?' After they all spoke with their tongues and prayed towards their qibla and performed the Hajj according to their rites, he was brought to his house. We then left with him." He said, "And it was as if the people had not been affected by any calamity before that day. Some were saying, 'There is no harm,' while others were saying, 'We fear for him.' So they brought some wine and he drank it, and it came out of his wound. Then they brought some milk and he drank it, and it came out of his wound. They recognized that he was dead, and he mentioned this incident in his will and in the command to consult each other."
