Abu Bakr came from his house at As-Sunh on a horse. He dismounted and entered the Mosque, but did not speak to the people till he entered upon ʿAisha and went straight to Messenger of Allah ﷺ who was covered with Hibra cloth (i.e. a kind of Yemenite cloth). He then uncovered the Prophet's face and bowed over him and kissed him and wept, saying, "Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you. By Allah, Allah will never cause you to die twice. As for the death which was written for you, has come upon you." Narrated Ibn ʿAbbas: Abu Bakr went out while ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab was talking to the people. Abu Bakr said, "Sit down, O ʿUmar!" But ʿUmar refused to sit down. So the people came to Abu Bakr and left ʿUmar. Abu Bakr said, "To proceed, if anyone amongst you used to worship Muhammad , then Muhammad is dead, but if (anyone of) you used to worship Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall never die. Allah said:--"Muhammad is no more than an Apostle, and indeed (many) apostles have passed away before him..(till the end of the Verse )......Allah will reward to those who are thankful." (3.144) By Allah, it was as if the people never knew that Allah had revealed this Verse before till Abu Bakr recited it and all the people received it from him, and I heard everybody reciting it (then). Narrated Az-Zuhri: Saʿid bin Al-Musaiyab told me that ʿUmar said, "By Allah, when I heard Abu Bakr reciting it, my legs could not support me and I fell down at the very moment of hearing him reciting it, declaring that the Prophet ﷺ had died."  

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ مِنْ مَسْكَنِهِ بِالسُّنْحِ حَتَّى نَزَلَ فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلَمْ يُكَلِّمِ النَّاسَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَتَيَمَّمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهْوَ مُغَشًّى بِثَوْبِ حِبَرَةٍ فَكَشَفَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ أَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ فَقَبَّلَهُ وَبَكَى ثُمَّ قَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي وَاللَّهِ لاَ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ مَوْتَتَيْنِ أَمَّا الْمَوْتَةُ الَّتِي كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْكَ فَقَدْ مُتَّهَا قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَرَجَ وَعُمَرُ يُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ اجْلِسْ يَا عُمَرُ فَأَبَى عُمَرُ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ فَأَقْبَلَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ وَتَرَكُوا عُمَرَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَمَّا بَعْدُ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ يَعْبُدُ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا قَدْ مَاتَ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ حَىٌّ لاَ يَمُوتُ قَالَ اللَّهُ {وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلاَّ رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {الشَّاكِرِينَ} وَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ لَكَأَنَّ النَّاسَ لَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَنْزَلَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ حَتَّى تَلاَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَتَلَقَّاهَا مِنْهُ النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ فَمَا أَسْمَعُ بَشَرًا مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلاَّ يَتْلُوهَا فَأَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلاَّ أَنْ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ تَلاَهَا فَعَقِرْتُ حَتَّى مَا تُقِلُّنِي رِجْلاَىَ وَحَتَّى أَهْوَيْتُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ حِينَ سَمِعْتُهُ تَلاَهَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَدْ مَاتَ  

That he heard ʿUmar's second speech he delivered when he sat on the pulpit on the day following the death of the Prophet ﷺ ʿUmar recited the Tashahhud while Abu Bakr was silent. ʿUmar said, "I wish that Messenger of Allah ﷺ had outlived all of us, i.e., had been the last (to die). But if Muhammad is dead, Allah nevertheless has kept the light amongst you from which you can receive the same guidance as Allah guided Muhammad with that. And Abu Bakr is the companion of Messenger of Allah ﷺ He is the second of the two in the cave. He is the most entitled person among the Muslims to manage your affairs. Therefore get up and swear allegiance to him." Some people had already taken the oath of allegiance to him in the shed of Bani Saʿida but the oath of allegiance taken by the public was taken at the pulpit. I heard ʿUmar saying to Abu Bakr on that day. "Please ascend the pulpit," and kept on urging him till he ascended the pulpit whereupon, all the people swore allegiance to him.

[Machine] On the authority of 'Amir, Abu 'Amir, or Abu Malik, that the Prophet ﷺ was sitting in a gathering with his companions when Gabriel came to him in a different form, appearing as a man from the Muslims. Gabriel greeted him and the Prophet ﷺ returned the greeting. Then Gabriel placed his hand on the Prophet's knee and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is Islam?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is to submit your face to Allah, to bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, to establish the prayer, give the obligatory charity (zakat)." Gabriel asked again, "So if I do this, have I become a Muslim?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." Then Gabriel asked, "What is faith?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is to believe in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Divine Books, the prophets, life after death, heaven, hell, and fate, both its good and bad." Gabriel asked again, "So if I do this, have I believed?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." Then Gabriel asked, "What is excellence (ihsan), O Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you do not see Him, then truly He sees you." Gabriel asked again, "So if I do this, have I excelled?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." And we heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ return to him, but we could not see the one speaking to him, nor could we hear his words. The questioner asked, "O Messenger of Allah, when is the Hour?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Glory be to Allah, it has five signs which only Allah knows: Allah possesses knowledge of the Hour, He sends down rain, He knows what is in the wombs, no soul knows what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul knows in which land it will die. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted." (Surah Luqman, 34) The questioner then said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you wish, I can inform you of two signs that will precede it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Inform me." The questioner said, "When you see a slave woman giving birth to her mistress, and when you see the barefooted, naked, impoverished shepherds competing in constructing tall buildings." The questioner asked, "And who are they, O Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "The Bedouins." Then he turned away, and when we did not see him on his way back, we said, "Glory be to Allah! This is Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion. The hand of Muhammad is in the hand of Gabriel, every time he came to him, I had not received any message except that I already knew it, except for this time."

[Machine] Narrated by 'Amir or Abu 'Amir, Abu Malik, that the Prophet ﷺ was sitting in a gathering with his companions when Jibril came to him in a form other than his usual shape and saluted him. The Prophet ﷺ returned the greeting and then Jibril placed his hand on the Prophet's knee and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is Islam?" He replied, "To testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish the prayer, to give the Zakat, to perform Hajj, and to fast in Ramadan." Jibril then asked him, "You have spoken the truth, so what is Iman (faith)?" He replied, "To believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in predestination and that every good and bad is from Allah." Jibril asked again, "You have spoken the truth, so what is Ihsan (perfection)?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "To worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion, then be aware that He sees you." Jibril continued to ask the Prophet ﷺ about the signs of the Day of Judgment until he asked, "When will the Hour be?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "The one being asked does not know more than the one asking. But I will inform you of its signs. When you see barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in the construction of tall buildings, that will be one of its signs. And when you see the hunched-backed, barefoot uncivilized Bedouins competing in building great structures, that will be one of its signs." Then he (Jibril) left. The Prophet ﷺ kept silent for a while and then said, "O Abu Huraira, did you mark or memorize everything?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, even I cannot memorize all this." Then Allah's Messenger ﷺ passed his hand over my chest and I felt its coolness in my chest, and I knew all that he had said.

[Machine] "We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when we reached outside the city, we saw a rider approaching us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'It seems that this rider wants to meet you.' The man came to us, greeted us, and we returned his greeting. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, 'Where are you coming from?' He replied, 'From my family, children, and tribe.' The Prophet ﷺ asked, 'Where are you going?' He said, 'I intend to meet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'You have indeed met him.' The man asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, teach me about faith.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Faith is to testify that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish the prayer, pay the Zakat, fast during Ramadan, and perform Hajj.' The man said, 'I have accepted.' Then, his camel entered a net of rats, causing the camel and the man to fall and he died. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Hold me responsible for this man.' 'Ammaar ibn Yaasir and Hudhayfah helped place him in a sitting position. They said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, 'He has already passed away.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from them and said, 'Didn't you see me turning away from him? I saw two angels pressing fruits of Paradise for him, so I knew that he died while hungry.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'By Allah, he is from those mentioned by Allah in the verse: 'Those who believed and did not mix their faith with injustice, for them is security, and they are rightly guided.' (Surah Al-Anaam, 6:82)' He added, 'Bury your brother. We carried him to water, washed him, shrouded him, and took him to his grave.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and sat at the edge of the grave and said, 'Stay strong and do not tear your garments, for we will go through this grief and others will suffer it.'"

[Machine] While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on one of his journeys, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ leaned or leaned back on his saddle, so I supported him with my hands. He woke up and we continued on. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ leaned or leaned back on his saddle again, so I supported him with my hands and he woke up. (3 times) Abu Qatadah said, "I said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'May Allah bless you as you have protected us since last night.' Then he said, 'I can only see that we have lost our way, go back or lead us back to the path.' He said, 'So we turned back from the path.' I held the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ camel's reins, and each one of us held onto a part of his camel's reins. We did not wake up until the sun rose and we heard the sound of the dough being kneaded. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, have we perished? The prayer has passed us by.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'You have not perished, and the prayer has not missed you. Only the two people who were awake missed it, but the one who was sleeping did not miss it. Is there any water?' He said, 'So I brought a bucket or a basin with water and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution, then he handed it to me with some water left in it. He said, 'Keep it, for it will have some benefit.' Then he ordered Bilal to call the Adhan and he prayed two Rak'ahs, then he turned in his place and ordered him to stand and he established the dawn prayer. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, 'If the people obey Abu Bakr and Umar, they will have done well and will have found guidance. But if they oppose them, they have caused division and they both were present with the Prophet ﷺ when he died. They said to the people, 'Stay where you are until you reach the water,' and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ reached them at the end of the day and they were on the verge of dying of thirst. They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, have we perished?' So he called for a container and called for another container placed on top of coffee vessel and below it, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ dipped them in it. Then he poured water into the container and the people drank until they were satisfied. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Is there any more water?' He said, 'Then he returned the container, which still had some water in it.' He said, 'So we asked him, 'How many were you?' He said, 'There were eighty men with Abu Bakr and Umar, and we were twelve men with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .'

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: When any one of you is afflicted with a calamity, let him say: "Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. O Allah, I seek reward with You for my calamity, and replace it with something better." When Abu Salamah was in his death throes, he said: "O Allah, compensate me for my loss with something better." When he died, I said: "Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. O Allah, I seek reward with You for my calamity, and replace it with something better." She added: "I wanted to say: Replace it for me with something better than him, but I could not say that. When her waiting period was over, Abu Bakr proposed marriage to her, then 'Umar proposed marriage to her, but the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to her: "Do not be hasty, O 'Umar. I will not withhold her from you, but I have not conferred a blessing upon her yet. Her children will be given to you." She said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have no need for children; rather I want to uphold the ties of kinship." 'Umar said: "I knitted together two garments for her, and stuffed them with a kind of grass, then the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came and took her, and put her in her cradle in his room, and the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , was a modest and honorable man, and he would shy away from her, but he used to do that repeatedly." Then 'Ammar ibn Yasir, who was her foster brother through her mother, came and entered upon her, and he moved her cradle from his room and said: "Take away this tainted woman who was the cause of the harm caused to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came in and put his hand on his forehead, and said: "Where is Zainab? What has Zainab done?" She said: "Ammar came and took her away." He said: "Then he married her to his own cousin and kin."

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away on Monday. The rest of his day and night were confined, and the following day as well, until he was buried on Wednesday night. They said, 'Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not die, but his soul ascended as Moses's soul ascended.' Umar stood up and said, 'Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not die, but his soul ascended as Moses's soul ascended. By Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ does not die until he cuts off the hands and tongues of nations.' Umar continued to speak until his saliva overflowed, more than what he usually promised. Al-Abbas stood up and said, 'Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has indeed passed away, and he was a human being. And indeed, he may become weary just as humans become weary, O people! So bury your companion, for he is more honored by Allah than to be put to death twice – to kill one of you is death, and to kill him twice while he is more honored by Allah than that?' O people! Bury your companion. If he is as you say, then it is not too difficult for Allah to find him in the soil. Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, by Allah, has not died until he has left the clear path. He made the lawful halal, the unlawful haram, married, divorced, fought, and made peace. He was like a shepherd for his sheep, leading them to the tops of the mountains, thrusting his stick at the beasts with it, and drawing water from the basin with his hand to water the sheep. There has never been from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ among you, O people! So bury your companion.' Hammad said, 'The mother of Ayyub cried, and it was said to her, 'O mother of Ayyub! Are you crying over the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' She said, 'By Allah, I do not cry over the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but I cry over the news of the sky being severed.' "

[Machine] "I went on a journey with the Prophet ﷺ, and he used to not relieve himself until he disappeared, so he couldn't be seen. We descended into an area without trees or landmarks. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'O Jabir, make water in your waterskin and then set out with us.' So we set out until we couldn't see anything, and suddenly there were two trees with a four-arm gap between them. He said, 'O Jabir, go to that tree and say, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commands you to give me shade for my companions and me.'' So I did, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat behind us. Then we returned to our place, and we rode with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was between us, as if birds were shading us. A woman came with a child and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, the devil takes my son every day three times.' He took the child and placed him between himself and the front of the camel saddle, and he said, 'Get away, O enemy of Allah! I am the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, get away, O enemy of Allah! I am the Messenger of Allah ﷺ,' three times. Then he handed the child back to her. When we finished our journey and passed by that place, the woman came to us with her child and two rams that were pulling them. She said, 'O Messenger of Allah, accept my gift. I swear by the One who sent you with the truth, he has not returned to that condition since you treated him.' He said, 'Take one and return the other.' Then we continued and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was between us, as if birds were shading us. Suddenly, a camel called out until it knelt down between two rocks. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat down and said, 'Who is the owner of this camel?' Some young Ansar men said, 'O Messenger of Allah, it belongs to us.' He asked, 'What is its condition?' They replied, 'We have been tending it for twenty years, and it has a cataract. We wanted to slaughter it and divide it amongst ourselves, but it escaped from us.' He said, 'Sell it to me.' They said, 'No, rather it is for you, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'No, treat it well until its time comes.' The Muslims said at that time, 'O Messenger of Allah, we should be the ones to prostrate to you, not animals.' He said, 'It is not appropriate for anything to prostrate to anything else, even if it were so, women would be prostrating to their husbands.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions continued on the year of the conquest until they reached Marr Al-Zuhra with ten thousand Muslims. Sulaym and Muzaynah were there, and in every tribe there was a number of people who had embraced Islam. The Muhajirun (emigrants) and the Ansar (helpers) were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and none of them stayed behind. The news about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became unknown to the Quraysh, and they did not receive any information about what he was doing. Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith and Abdullah ibn Abi Umayyah ibn al-Mughirah met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Thaniyyat al-Aqabah on the way from Makkah to Madinah, and they sought permission to enter. Umm Salamah spoke to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is your cousin, the son of your aunt, and your son-in-law." He replied, "I have no need for them. As for my cousin, he has violated my honour, and as for my aunt's son and my son-in-law, he was the one who said to me in Makkah what he said." When the news reached them, Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith had a son who said, "By Allah, the Messenger of Allah will either give permission for me, or I will take his son by the hand, and we will go away and die of thirst or hunger." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard about this, he sent for them, and they entered upon him. Abu Sufyan began reciting poetry about his Islam and his apology for what had happened in the past. He said, "By your life, on the day I carry a flag, the horses of al-Lat will defeat the horses of Muhammad, even if the dark night lasts long. This is the time for truth to guide and direct me. So tell Ta'if that I do not seek to fight them, and tell Ta'if that I am ready for them, guided by someone other than myself, who has guided me to Allah. I will flee quickly and strive to fight against Muhammad, even if I am not related to him. They are a group of people who do not follow their desires, even if they are intelligent and logical." He continued, "I desire for them to be pleased with me, and I will not leave them until I have been guided in every sitting. I was not in the army that gained victory, nor did my tongue bring any good, nor did my hands touch any tribe that came from distant lands, with arrows and swords. Indeed, the one you expelled and insulted will strive hard to seek revenge, not restrained by custom." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard Abu Sufyan recite poetry about himself, he struck him in the chest and said, "You are the one who expelled and insulted me." Ibn Ishaq mentioned, "The mother of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died while she was visiting her relatives from the Banu Najjar tribe."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When any of you experience a calamity, say 'Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.' O Allah, I seek reward from You for my calamity and ask You to replace it with something better.' I used to say this when I had any difficulty. When my waiting period after the death of my husband ended, Abu Bakr proposed to me and I turned him down. Then, Umar proposed to me and I turned him down. The Prophet ﷺ sent someone to propose to me on his behalf, and I said, 'Welcome to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his messenger! Please convey to him that I am a widow and I have no guardian except Allah. As for your saying that I am a widow, Allah will take care of my children. And as for considering yourself as a replacement, I will pray to Allah to replace you with someone better. As for the guardians, there is no one among them who can testify and there is no one absent whose permission is needed. So, the Prophet ﷺ sent me a message saying, 'As for your saying that you are a widow, Allah will take care of your children. And as for your saying that there is no one except me, I will supplicate to Allah to remove your difficulty. As for the guardians, there is no one among them who can testify and there is no one absent whose permission is needed.' So, she said to her son, 'Stand up, O Umar, and let the Messenger of Allah ﷺ marry you to her.' The Prophet ﷺ then married them. He said to her, 'I will not deprive you of what I have given your sister, Fulanah, including two garments and a cushion filled with palm fibers.' The Prophet ﷺ used to visit her while Zainab was breastfeeding her child. Whenever the Prophet ﷺ came, she would give the child to him and he would place her (the child) in her (Zainab's) chamber to breastfeed her. So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was generous and honorable. One day, Ammar ibn Yasir visited her when the Prophet ﷺ intended to visit her. Zainab hid in her chamber and said, 'Leave this disgraced and wretched woman (referring to herself) who has caused trouble for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and looked around the house, saying, 'Where is Zunab? Why can't I see Zunab?' Zainab said, 'Ammar came and took her away.' The Prophet ﷺ then left. He was planning to visit her one day when Ammar came and took her away."

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Madinah after leaving Ta'if, Bujair Ibn Zuhair Ibn Abi Salma wrote a letter to his brother Ka'b Ibn Zuhair Ibn Abi Salma informing him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had killed some men in Makkah who used to insult and harm him. He also mentioned that the remaining poets of Quraysh, Ibn Al-Ziba'ra and Hubayrah Ibn Abi Wahb, had fled in every direction. He advised Ka'b to seek forgiveness from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ if he had any need, as the Messenger would not kill anyone who came to him repentant. If he did not do so, he should flee for his own safety. Ka'b responded to his brother's message with a poem in which he praised the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and expressed his fear for his own life. It is mentioned that Ka'b showed this poem to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and it became well-known. Ka'b then left until he reached Madinah, where he stayed with a man who had a connection with him from Juhayna tribe. The next morning, he went with this man to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he was praying Fajr (before sunrise). Ka'b prayed with the people and then the man pointed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Approach him and seek his safety." The man later told Ka'b that he had approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and placed his hand in His hand, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not recognize him. Ka'b said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am Ka'b Ibn Zuhair, who has come to you seeking safety and repentance. Would you accept it from me if I bring him to you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Yes." Ka'b then said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am Ka'b Ibn Zuhair."

On the day of Hunayn we travelled with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we journeyed for a long time until the evening came. I attended the prayer along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. A horseman came and said: Messenger of Allah, I went before you and climbed a certain mountain where saw Hawazin all together with their women, cattle, and sheep, having gathered at Hunayn. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and said: That will be the booty of the Muslims tomorrow if Allah wills. He then asked: Who will be on guard tonight? Anas ibn AbuMarthad al-Ghanawi said: I shall , Messenger of Allah. He said: Then mount your horse. He then mounted his horse, and came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah said to him: Go forward to this ravine till you get to the top of it. We should not be exposed to danger from your side. In the morning the Apostle of of Allah ﷺ came out to his place of prayer, and offered two rak'ahs. He then said: Have you seen any sign of your horseman? They said: We have not, Messenger of Allah. The announcement of the time for prayer was then made, and while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was saying the prayer, he began to glance towards the ravine. When he finished his prayer and uttered salutation, he said: Cheer up, for your horseman has come. We therefore began to look between the trees in the ravine, and sure enough he had come. He stood beside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, saluted him and said: I continued till I reached the top of this ravine where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me, and in the morning I looked down into both ravines but saw no one. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him: Did you dismount during the night? He replied: No, except to pray or to relieve myself. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You have ensured your entry to (Paradise). No blame will be attached to you supposing you do not work after it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2501)

[Machine] When Hilal ibn Umayyah threw his wife, it was said to him, "By Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ will whip you with eighty lashes." He said, "Allah is more just than that, to strike me with eighty lashes. He knew that I saw until I became certain, and I heard until I became convinced. No, by Allah, he will never strike me." Then the verse of curse was revealed, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for both of them when the verse was revealed and he said, "Allah knows that one of you is lying. Is there any repentance from either of you?" Hilal said, "By Allah, I am telling the truth." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Swear by Allah, the One who there is no god but Him, that you are telling the truth." He said that four times, and if he was lying, the curse of Allah would be upon him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Stop at the fifth time, as it is binding." So, she swore and said it four times, "By Allah, the One who there is no god but Him, he is one of the liars." And if she was telling the truth, then the anger of Allah would be upon her. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Stop at the fifth time, as it is binding." Then she hesitated and was inclined to confess. Then she said, "I do not want to expose my people." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If she comes with it, it should be a black dye that darkens the eyes, with black pupils, thickly outlined, with lashes that curve upwards. Then it is for the one who was accused, Hilal ibn Umayyah. And if she comes with it in yellow color, then it should be cut with spots. Then it is for Hilal ibn Umayyah." So they brought it in the description of rebellion. Ayub said, and Muhammad ibn Sirin said, "The man who informed Hilal ibn Umayyah's wife was Shurayk ibn Sahma, who was the brother of Bara' ibn Malik, the brother of Anas ibn Malik from his mother. His mother was black. And Shurayk used to stay at Hilal's house and be with him."  

لَمَّا قَذَفَ هِلَالُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ امْرَأَتَهُ قِيلَ لَهُ وَاللَّهِ لَيَجْلِدَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً قَالَ اللَّهُ أَعْدَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يَضْرِبَنِي ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً وَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ حَتَّىَ اسْتَيْقَنْتُ وَسَمِعْتُ حَتَّىَ اسْتَثْبَتُّ لَا وَاللَّهِ لَا يَضْرِبُنِي أَبَدًا فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ فَدَعَا بِهِمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ نَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ فَقَالَ «اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمَا كَاذِبٌ فَهَلْ مِنْكُمَا تَائِبٌ» فَقَالَ هِلَالٌ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَصَادِقٌ فَقَالَ «احْلِفْ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ إِنِّي لَصَادِقٌ» يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ كَاذِبًا فَعَلَيَّ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قِفُوهُ عِنْدَ الْخَامِسَةِ فَإِنَّهَا مُوجِبَةٌ» فَحَلَفَتْ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ أَرْبَعًا وَاللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ وَإِنْ كَانَ صَادِقًا فَعَلَيْهَا غَضَبُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قِفُوهَا عِنْدَ الْخَامِسَةِ فَإِنَّهَا مُوجِبَةٌ فَرَدَّدَتْ وَهَمَّتْ بِالِاعْتِرَافِ» ثُمَّ قَالَتْ لَا أَفْضَحُ قَوْمِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَكْحَلَ أَدْعَجَ سَابِغَ الْأَلْيَتَيْنِ أَلَفَّ الْفَخِذَيْنِ حَدْلَجَ السَّاقَيْنِ فَهُوَ لِلَّذِي رُمِيَتْ بِهِ وَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَصْفَرَ قَصِفًا سَبِطًا فَهُوَ لِهِلَالِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ» فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ عَلَى الصِّفَةِ الْبَغِيِّ قَالَ أَيُّوبُ وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ «كَانَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي بَلَغَهَا هِلَالُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ شَرِيكَ بْنَ سَحْمَاءَ وَكَانَ أَخَا الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَخِي أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ لِأُمِّهِ وَكَانَتْ أُمُّهُ سَوْدَاءَ وَكَانَ شَرِيكٌ يَأْوِي إِلَى مَنْزِلِ هِلَالٍ وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ»  

[Machine] He informed him that 'Utban ibn Malik, who was from the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and had participated in the Battle of Badr among the Ansar, came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have lost my eyesight, but I still pray for my people. When it rains, the valley between me and the mosque floods, and I cannot go to their mosque to pray for them. I wish that you, O Messenger of Allah, would come and pray in my house and make it a place of worship." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "I will do that." The next day, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr As-Siddiq entered the house when the day had brightened. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) sought permission, and I granted him permission. He did not sit down until he entered the house, and then he said, "Where would you like me to pray in your house?" I pointed to a corner of the house. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stood up, said the Takbir, and we stood behind him. He prayed two Rak'ahs and then said the Salam. We detained him in a corner which we made for him. Some men from the people of the house surrounded him until a large number of men gathered in the house. One of them said, "Where is Malik ibn Dukhshun?" Some of them said, "He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said to them, "Do not say that to him. Do you not see that he has said, 'There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah,' seeking the Face of Allah with that?" They said, "Allah and His Messenger know best. We only see his face and his advice to the hypocrites." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "Indeed, Allah, the Most Exalted and High, has forbidden the Fire for whoever says, 'There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah,' seeking the Face of Allah with it."  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عِتْبَانَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ وَهُوَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَنْكَرْتُ بَصَرِي وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي لِقَوْمِي وَإِذَا كَانَ الْأَمْطَارُ سَالَ الْوَادِي الَّذِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ وَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ آتِيَ مَسْجِدَهُمْ فَأُصَلِّيَ لَهُمْ وَدِدْتُ أَنَّكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَأْتِي فَتُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِي أَتَّخِذُهُ مُصَلًّى قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «سَأَفْعَلُ» قَالَ عِتْبَانُ فَغَدَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ حِينَ ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَذِنْتُ لَهُ فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَيْنَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ؟ » قَالَ فَأَشَرْتُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكَبَّرَ وَقُمْنَا وَرَاءَهُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ قَالَ وَحَبَسْنَاهُ عَلَى خَزِيرَةٍ صَنَعْنَاهَا لَهُ قَالَ فَثَابَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدَّارِ حَوْلَهُ حَتَّى اجْتَمَعَ فِي الْبَيْتِ رِجَالٌ ذَوُو عَدَدٍ قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ أَيْنَ مَالِكُ بْنُ الدُّخْشُنِ؟ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ ذَاكَ مُنَافِقٌ وَلَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَقُلْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ أَلَا تَرَاهُ قَدْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ؟ » قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ إِنَّمَا نَرَى وَجْهَهُ وَنَصِيحَتَهُ لِلْمُنَافِقِينَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا حَرَّمَ عَلَى النَّارِ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَبْتَغِي بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ»  

[Machine] He once stood as a preacher and mentioned a hadith in his sermon about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Samurah, one of the Ansar, said, "There was a young boy with me, and we used to throw arrows at a target during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . When the sun rose, it would shine in the eyes of the onlooker like the tip of a spear or two spears turned black. One of us said to his companion, 'Let's go to the Mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and, by Allah, the sun will rise today and mention a hadith to the Messenger of Allah in his ummah.' So, we went towards the mosque until we encountered the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he came out and straightened his back and prayed. He stood with us as long as he ever stood in prayer, to the point where we could not hear his voice. Then he stood up and did the same in the second raka'ah. Then he sat, and as he sat, the sunlight cleared. He gave the Salam and left, and he praised Allah and glorified Him, and testified that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and that he is the servant of Allah and His Messenger. Then he said, 'O people, I am only human, a Messenger who warns you about Allah. If you know that I have omitted anything in conveying the message of my Lord, then let me know.' The people said, 'We bear witness that you have conveyed the message of your Lord, advised your ummah, and fulfilled what was upon you.' Then he said, 'As for what follows, there are people who claim that when an eclipse occurs for the sun and moon, and when stars are removed from their positions due to the death of great men from the people of the earth, they are lying. Rather, these are the signs of Allah by which He frightens His servants. Thus, let those of them who will repent, as by Allah, I have seen things that you have not encountered in your worldly affairs nor in your Hereafter since I stood praying. And by Allah, the Hour will not be established until thirty liars will emerge, one of whom is the one-eyed False Messiah (Dajjal), whose eye is like the raised lump of flesh on the side of 'Abi Talha, the blind man, between him and the room of 'A'ishah. It will appear that he (Dajjal) is Allah, so whoever believes in him, confirms his belief in him, and follows him, then his good deeds will not benefit him from the account of his past deeds. And he (Dajjal) will appear on the entire earth except for the Haram and the blessed land of Al-Masjid al-Aqsa. And truly, he will drive the Muslims towards Al-Masjid al-Aqsa, where they will be besieged intensely."

[Machine] While a Muslim man was following in the footsteps of a polytheist man, he heard a whip strike above him and the sound of a horseman above him saying, "I am Hudhum." He looked at the polytheist man in front of him and saw him fall flat on his face, with his nose broken and his face cut like a whip strike. That became green like vegetation. Al-Ansari came and informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You have spoken the truth, that is a result of the help from the third heaven." Thus, they killed seventy of the polytheists and took seventy as captives. Ibn 'Abbas said, "When they took the captives, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Bakr, 'What do you think of these captives?' Abu Bakr said, 'O Messenger of Allah, they are the kinsfolk and families. I believe we should accept ransom from them, which will give us strength against the disbelievers, and perhaps Allah will guide them to Islam.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What do you think, O son of Al-Khattab?' I said, 'By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I do not see what Abu Bakr sees, but I think we should cut off their heads and make Ali bin Abi Talib kill 'Uqayl, and I should kill so-and-so, a relative of 'Umar, for they are the leaders of disbelief and the pillars of idolatry.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ approved of what Abu Bakr said, but did not approve of what I said. When it was morning, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and saw him and Abu Bakr weeping. I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, please tell me what made you and your friend weep?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I weep for what has been suggested to my Companions, that they may accept ransom from the captives. Allah has revealed the Ayah, "It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land... This is so because Allah desires to test and purify the believers. And so He will punish the hypocrites, men and women, and the idolaters, men and women, who think evil thoughts about Allah. For them is a disgraceful torment, and Allah will inflict on them a humiliating torment." Thus, Allah allowed the booty.'"  

بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَشُدُّ فِي أَثَرِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَمَامَهُ إِذْ سَمِعَ ضَرْبَةً بِالسَّوْطِ فَوْقَهُ وَصَوْتَ الْفَارِسِ فَوْقَهُ يَقُولُ أَقْدِمْ حَيْزُومُ إِذْ نَظَرَ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِ أَمَامَهُ خَرَّ مُسْتَلْقِيًا فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذْا هُوَ قَدْ خُطِمَ أَنْفُهُ وَشُقَّ وَجْهُهُ كَضَرْبَةِ سَوْطٍ فَاخْضَرَّ ذَاكَ أَجْمَعُ فَجَاءَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَحَدَّثَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ ﷺ «صَدَقْتَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ مَدَدِ السَّمَاءِ الثَّالِثَةِ» فَقَتَلُوا يَوْمَئِذٍ سَبْعِينَ وَأَسَرُوا سَبْعِينَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَلَمَّا أَسَرُوا الْأُسَارَى قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعَلِيٍّ وَعُمَرَ «مَا تَرَوْنَ فِي هَؤُلَاءِ الْأُسَارَى؟ » قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ هُمْ بَنُو الْعَمِّ وَالْعَشِيرَةِ أَرَى أَنْ نَأْخُذَ مِنْهُمْ فِدْيَةً تَكُونُ لَنَا قُوَّةً عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ وَعَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَهْدِيَهُمُ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا تَرَى يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ؟ » قُلْتُ لَا وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَرَى الَّذِي رَأَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَلَكِنِّي أَرَى أَنْ تُمَكِّنَنَا فَنَضْرِبَ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ فَتُمَكِّنَ عَلِيًّا مِنْ عَقِيلٍ فَيَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ وَتُمَكِّنَنِي مِنْ فُلَانٍ فَأَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ نَسِيبٍ كَانَ لِعُمَرَ فَإِنَّ هَؤُلَاءَ أَئِمَّةُ الْكُفْرِ وَصَنَادِيدُهَا فَهَوِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَلَمْ يَهْوَ مَا قُلْتُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ جِئْتُ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ قَاعِدَانِ يَبْكِيَانِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَبْكِي أَنْتَ وَصَاحِبُكَ فَإِنْ وَجَدْتُ بُكَاءً بَكَيْتُ وَإِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْ بُكَاءً تَبَاكَيْتُ لِبُكَائِكُمَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَبْكِي لِلَّذِي عَرَضَ عَلَيَّ أَصْحَابُكَ مِنْ أَخْذِهِمُ الْفِدَاءَ وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ أَسْرَى حَتَّى يُثْخِنَ فِي الْأَرْضِ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {فَكُلُوا مِمَّا غَنِمْتُمْ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا} فَأَحَلَّ اللَّهُ الْغَنِيمَةَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ married a woman from his wives, namely Zainab. Um Salim made a type of bread called "Hayas," and she placed it in a container. They were in a state of extreme fatigue on that day. Um Salim said, "Take this and give it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and convey my greetings to him, and tell him that this is a little gift from us to him." So, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, Um Salim sent me with this bread, and she is sending her greetings to you and saying, 'O Messenger of Allah, this is a little gift from us to you.'" He looked at it and said, "Put it down." So, I put it down on one side of the house.

Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "Go and call so and so and so and so," naming many men. He then said, "Call all the Muslims you meet." So, I called the people he named and whoever among the Muslims I met. I came, and the house was filled. The Safa and the stone chamber in the house were both full. We asked Anas, "How many people were there?" He said, "About three hundred." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then invited me with the bread. So, I brought it, and he placed his hand on it and called men to come and eat. They would come, eat, get up, and others would come and follow them until they all ate. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "Take it away." I do not know whether he meant that I should take it from the place where I had put it or from where he had placed it. It remained in the house of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and groups of people came and talked until they became too heavy for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He got up and left them. When they saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ return, they thought that they had become heavy on him. So, they rushed to leave, and Anas said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and lowered the curtain and entered. He stayed inside for a while, then the revelation was sent down to him. So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left while reciting the verses from 'O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when permission is given to you' to the end of the verses." Anas said, "I was the first one to whom this Ayah was revealed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited it to me."  

أَعْرَسَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَائِهِ يَعْنِي زَيْنَبَ فَجَعَلَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ حَيْسًا ثُمَّ جَعَلَتْهُ فِي تَوْرٍ وَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي جَهْدٍ شَدِيدٍ فَقَالَتْ اذْهَبْ بِهَذَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ واقْرِئْهُ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَأَخْبِرْهُ أَنَّ هَذَا مَنَالُهُ قَلِيلٌ فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بَعَثَتْ بِهَذَا إِلَيْكَ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ وَهِيَ تُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَتَقُولُ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا مِنَّا لَكَ قَلِيلٌ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «ضَعْهُ» فَوَضَعْتُهُ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «انْطَلِقْ فَادْعُ فُلَانًا وَفُلَانًا وَفُلَانًا فَسَمَّى رِجَالًا كَثِيرًا وَمَنْ لَقِيتَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ» فَدَعَوْتُ الَّذِي سَمَّى لِي وَمَنْ لَقِيتُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَجِئْتُ وَالْبَيْتُ مَلْأَى وَالصُّفَّةُ وَالْحُجْرَةُ فَسَأَلْنَا أَنَسًا كَمْ كَانُوا؟ قَالَ زُهَاءَ ثَلاثُمائَةٍ فَدَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالتَّوْرِ فَجِئْتُ بِهِ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَمَّى وَدَعَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «لِيَتَحَلَّقَ عَشَرَةٌ عَشَرَةٌ وَلْيَأْكُلْ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِمَّا يَلِيهِ» فَجَعَلُوا يَتَحَلَّقُونَ عَشَرَةً عَشَرَةً وَيُسَمُّونَ وَيَأْكُلُونَ ويَنْهَضُونَ وَكُلَّمَا فَرَغَ قَوْمٌ قَامُوا وَجَاءَ آخَرُونَ يَعْقُبُونَهُمْ حَتَّى أَكَلُوا كُلُّهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «ارْفَعْهُ» فَلَا أَدْرِي هُوَ كَانَ حَيْثُ وَضَعْتُهُ أَكْثَرَ أَمْ حَيْثُ رَفَعَتُهُ وَبَقِيَ فِي بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ طَوَائِفٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فَأَطَالُوا الْحَدِيثَ فَثَقُلُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ حَيَاءً وَلَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَنَّهُمْ ثَقُلُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَزِيزًا فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَتَرَكَهُمْ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَجَعَ ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ ثَقُلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَابْتَدَرُوا الْبَابَ فَخَرَجُوا قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَرْخَى السِّتْرَ وَدَخَلَ فَمَكَثَ يَسِيرًا فَأُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤَذَنَ لَكُمْ} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَاتِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَأَنَا أَحْدَثُ النَّاسِ عَهْدًا بِهَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ قَرَأَهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلِيَّ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , sent Amr ibn al-As with the army of Dhat as-Salsal. Abu Bakr and Umar were also sent with him, as well as their companions, and they set out until they reached the mountain of Tayyih. Amr ibn al-As said, "Look for a man who knows the way." They replied, "We only know Rafi' ibn Amr, who used to be a bandit in the time of ignorance (pre-Islamic era)" So I asked Tariq, "What does 'Rabil' mean?" He said, "It is a thief who raids people alone and robs them." Rafi' then said, "When we completed our raids and reached the place we had left, I noticed Abu Bakr and went to him. I said, 'O Companion of the Sandals, I have noticed you among your companions. Bring me something that if I learn it, I will be like you.' He said, 'Do you memorize your five fingers?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Do you bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, and establish the five daily prayers, give Zakat if you have wealth, perform Hajj, and fast during Ramadan?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'And something else, you should not be commanded by two people.' I asked, 'Would authority be limited to those who were present at Badr?' He replied, 'It is soon to spread until it reaches you and whoever is below you. When Allah sent His Prophet, people entered Islam, some of whom were guided by Allah, while others were forced by the sword. They are the neighbors of Allah, living in His protection. If a man is a ruler and the people are oppressed, but he does not take revenge on behalf of some of them from others, then Allah will take revenge on him. Indeed, a man can have a sheep taken by his neighbor and he will remain angry on behalf of his neighbor. And Allah is behind (i.e. in support of) the neighbor.' Rafi' said, 'I stayed for a year, and then Abu Bakr was appointed as Caliph. So I went to him and said, 'I am Rafi', I met you on such and such a day and at such and such a place.' He said, 'I remember.' I said, 'You forbade me from ruling (in reference to the incident when he was a bandit), but then you rode with a greater nation than that of Muhammad, ﷺ .' He said, 'Yes, and whoever does not stand with them with the Book of Allah has the curse of Allah upon him," meaning the curse of Allah.

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Medina, after his departure from Taif, Bujair ibn Zuhair ibn Abi Sulma wrote to his brother Ka'ab ibn Zuhair ibn Abi Sulma, informing him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had killed a man in Makkah who used to insult and harm him. He also mentioned that the remaining poets of Quraysh, such as Ibn Al-Ziba'ra and Hubayrah ibn Abi Wahb, had fled in all directions. If there is something you need for yourself, then flee to the Messenger ﷺ as he does not kill anyone who comes to him repenting. And if you do not do so, then escape to your own safety. Ka'ab recited poems in which he praised the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned his fear and the trembling of his knees due to the news. Then he left until he reached Medina and stayed with a man who had a connection with him from Juheinah, as he had told me. The next morning, he accompanied him to the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ prayer. He prayed with the people, then his companion pointed him towards the Prophet ﷺ and said, "This is the Messenger of Allah, so go to him and seek his protection." He told me that he approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and placed his hand in his hand, but the Messenger of Allah did not recognize him. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, Ka'ab ibn Zuhair has come seeking your protection, having repented and embraced Islam. Will you accept him if I bring him to you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Yes." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am Ka'ab ibn Zuhair." Ibn Ishaq said, Asim ibn Omar ibn Qatadah narrated to me that a man from the Ansar jumped towards him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, let me and Allah's enemy strike his neck." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Leave him, for he has come repenting and seeking pardon." The Ansar were angry with this man for what he had done to their companion.  

لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ مُنْصَرَفِهِ مِنَ الطَّائِفِ كَتَبَ بُجَيْرُ بْنُ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلْمَى إِلَى أَخِيهِ كَعْبِ بْنِ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلْمَى يُخْبِرُهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَتَلَ رَجُلًا بِمَكَّةَ مِمَّنْ كَانَ يَهْجُوهُ وَيُؤْذِيهِ وَأَنَّهُ مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنْ شُعَرَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ ابْنُ الزِّبَعْرَى وَهُبَيْرَةُ بْنُ أَبِي وَهْبٍ قَدْ هَرَبُوا فِي كُلِّ وَجْهٍ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ حَاجَةٌ فَفِرَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ ﷺ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَقْتُلُ أَحَدًا جَاءَ تَائِبًا وَإِنْ أَنْتَ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَانْجُ إِلَى نَجَائِكَ وَقَدْ كَانَ كَعْبٌ قَالَ أَبْيَاتًا نَالَ فِيهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ كَعْبًا الْكِتَابُ ضَاقَتْ بِهِ الْأَرْضُ وَأَشْفَقَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَأَرْجَفَ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَ فِي حَاضَرِهِ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِ قَالُوا هُوَ مَقْتُولٌ فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَجِدْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ بَدَا قَالَ قَصِيدَتَهُ الَّتِي مَدَحَ فِيهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَذَكَرَ خَوْفَهُ وَإِرْجَافَ الْوُشَاةِ بِهِ مِنْ غَدِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَنَزَلَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنِهِ مَعْرِفَةٌ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ كَمَا ذَكَرَ لِي فَغَدَا بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ فَصَلَّى مَعَ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ أَشَارَ لَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ فَقُمْ إِلَيْهِ فَاسْتَأْمِنْهُ فَذَكَرَ لِي أَنَّهُ قَامَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى وَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي يَدِهِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ لَا يَعْرِفُهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ زُهَيْرٍ جَاءَ يَسْتَأْمِنُ مِنْكَ تَائِبًا مُسْلِمًا فَهَلْ أَنْتَ قَابِلٌ مِنْهُ إِنْ أَنَا جِئْتُكَ بِهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا كَعْبُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ وَثَبَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دَعْنِي وَعَدُوَّ اللهِ أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «دَعْهُ عَنْكَ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَ تَائِبًا نَازِعًا» فَغَضِبَ عَلَى هَذَا الْحَيِّ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِمَا صَنَعَ بِهِ صَاحِبِهِمْ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Madinah after his departure from Ta'if, Bujayr bin Zuhair bin Abi Salamah wrote to his brother Ka'b bin Zuhair bin Abi Salamah, informing him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had killed a man in Makkah who used to insult and harm him. He mentioned that the remaining poets of the Quraysh, Ibn Ziba'rah and Hubayrah bin Abi Wahb, had fled in all directions. He advised Ka'b to seek the protection of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , as he does not kill anyone who comes to him repenting. If he did not want to do that, he should go to his own people for help. When Ka'b received the letter, he felt overwhelmed and frightened for his life. Those who were present with him trembled, assuming that he had been killed. When he could not find anything to say, he recited the poem he had composed praising the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and describing his fear and the trembling of his limbs. Then he left until he reached Madinah and stayed with a man named Ma'rifah, with whom he had some connection in Juhaynah. In the morning, he went with him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and prayed with the people. Then Ma'rifah pointed him out to the Prophet, saying, "This is the Messenger of Allah." He asked Ka'b to come forward and gave him his hand. Since the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not know who he was, Ka'b said, "O Messenger of Allah, Ka'b bin Zuhair has come, seeking your protection, remorseful and a Muslim. Would you be willing to receive him if I bring him to you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Yes." Ka'b then said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am Ka'b bin Zuhair." Ibn Ishaq said that 'Asim bin 'Umar bin Qatadah reported that a man from the Ansar alighted and said, "O Messenger of Allah, let me take his life for you as the enemy of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Leave him, as he has come repentant and seeking forgiveness." The Ansar became angry at him for what he had done to their companion. That happened because they did not know that Ka'b had come repentant, seeking forgiveness.

[Machine] And the first person to pledge allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the Day of Aqaba was Abu Al-Haytham ibn At-Taihan. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, between us and the people are alliances and treaties. Perhaps we will break them and then return to your people after severing the alliances and fighting against the people for your sake." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled at his words and said, "Bloodshed! Bloodshed!" When Abu Al-Haytham was satisfied with what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, he went back to his people and said, "O people, this is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I bear witness that he is truthful, and today he is in the sanctuary of Allah and under his protection, between his people and his tribe. So know that if you expel him, the Arabs will attack you as one. But if you find it pleasing to sacrifice yourselves in the cause of Allah and give up your wealth and children, then invite him to your land, for he is truly the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . And if you fear betrayal, then from now on, Abdullah (his nickname) said, we have cleared ourselves from Allah and His Messenger of what we have given to him. And indeed, we have given you what you asked of us, O Messenger of Allah. So resolve the matter between us, O Abu Al-Haytham, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Let us all pledge allegiance to him." Abu Al-Haytham said, "I am the first to pledge allegiance, then all of you follow." Then Satan shouted from the top of the mountain and said, "O Quraish people! The Khazraj and the Aws are forming alliances with Muhammad to fight against you." Hearing this, they became frightened, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Don't be frightened by this voice. It is only the enemy of Allah, Iblis, and no one from those whom you fear can hear it." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and shouted at Satan, saying, "O son of Az-Zabb, this is your action. I will deal with you shortly."  

وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْعَقَبَةِ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ بْنُ التَّيْهَانِ وَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ النَّاسِ حِبَالًا وَالْحِبَالُ الْحَلِفُ وَالْمَوَاثِيقُ فَلَعَلَّنَا نَقْطَعُهَا ثُمَّ تَرْجِعَ إِلَى قَوْمِكَ وَقَدْ قَطَعْنَا الْحِبَالَ وَحَارَبْنَا النَّاسَ فِيكَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ وَقَالَ «الدَّمُ الدَّمُ الْهَدْمُ الْهَدْمُ» فَلَمَّا رَضِيَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ بِمَا رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ يَا قَوْمُ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ لَصَادِقٌ وَإِنَّهُ الْيَوْمَ فِي حَرَمِ اللهِ وَأَمْنِهِ وَبَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْ قَوْمِهِ وَعَشِيرَتِهِ فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّكُمْ إِنْ تُخْرِجُوهُ بَرَتْكُمُ الْعَرَبُ عَنْ قَوْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ طَابَتْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ بِالْقِتَالِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَذَهَابِ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَوْلَادِ فَادْعُوهُ إِلَى أَرْضِكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَقًّا وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ خِذْلَانًا فَمَنَ الْآنَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ قَبِلْنَا عَنِ اللهِ وَعَنْ رَسُولِهِ مَا أَعْطَانَا وَقَدْ أَعْطَيْنَاكَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِنَا الَّذِي سَأَلْتَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَخَلِّ بَيْنَنَا يَا أَبَا الْهَيْثَمِ وَبَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلْنُبَايعْهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ أَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ بَايَعَ ثُمَّ تَبَايَعُوا كُلُّهُمْ وَصَاحَ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنْ رَأْسِ الْجَبَلِ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ هَذِهِ الْخَزْرَجُ وَالْأَوْسُ تُحَالِفُ مُحَمَّدًا عَلَى قِتَالِكُمْ فَفَزِعُوا عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ وَرَاعَهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَرُعْكُمْ هَذَا الصَّوْتُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ عَدُوُّ اللهِ إِبْلِيسُ لَيْسَ يَسْمَعُهُ أَحَدٌ مِمَّنْ تَخَافُونَ» وَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَرَخَ بِالشَّيْطَانِ فَقَالَ «يَا ابْنَ أَزَبَّ هَذَا عَمَلُكَ فَسَأَفْرُغُ لَكَ»  

[Machine] He informed him that 'Itban bin Malik, who was one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the Ansar, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have weak eyesight and I pray with my people. When it rains, the valley between me and them becomes filled, and I cannot go to their mosque, so I pray in my house. I wish, O Messenger of Allah, that you would come and pray in a designated place that I would establish as a place of prayer." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I will do so, if Allah wills." Itban said, "So, the next day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Abu Bakr and Umar left when it was daylight. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked for permission to enter, and I gave him permission. He did not sit down until he entered the house. Then he said, 'Where would you like me to pray in your house?' So I pointed to a place in the house. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and uttered the Takbir (Allahu Akbar), and we stood up and formed a line and prayed two Rakahs. Then he gathered a number of people in the house and asked, 'Where is Malik bin Dukhshin?' Some of them said, 'He is a hypocrite who does not love Allah and His Messenger.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Do not say that. Do you not see that he testifies that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, seeking thereby the Face of Allah?' Allah knows best, we only see his face and his statement directed towards the hypocrites.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed, Allah has prohibited the Fire for anyone who says: 'There is none worthy of worship in truth but Allah,' seeking thereby the Face of Allah.' Muhammad bin Muslim said, 'Then I asked Husain bin Muhammad, one of the descendants of Salim, about the Hadith of Mahmud, and he confirmed it.'"  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عِتْبَانَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ وَهُوَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ أَنْكَرْتُ بَصَرِي وَإِنِّي أُصَلِّي بِقَوْمِي فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْأَمْطَارُ سَالَ الْوَادِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ آتِي مَسْجِدَهُمْ فَأُصَلِّي لَهُمْ فَوَدِدْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ فِي مُصَلًّى أَتَّخِذُهُ مُصَلًّى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «سَأَفْعَلُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ» فَقَالَ عِتْبَانُ فَغَدَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ حَيْثُ ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَذِنْتُ لَهُ فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ قَالَ «أَيْنَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتِكَ؟» فَأَشَرْتُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَبَّرَ فَقُمْنَا فَصَفَفْنَا فَصَلَّيْنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ اجْتَمَعَ فِي الْبَيْتِ ذُو عَدَدٍ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ أَيْنَ مَالِكُ بْنُ الدُّخَيْشِنِ؟ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ ذَلِكَ مُنَافِقٌ لَا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَقُلْ ذَلِكَ أَلَا تَرَاهُ قَدْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ اللهُ أَعْلَمُ إِنَّا نَرَى وَجْهَهُ وَنُصْحَتُهُ إِلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ حَرَّمَ النَّارَ عَلَى مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ يَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللهِ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ «ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ الْحُصَيْنَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَهُوَ أَحَدُ بَنِي سَالِمٍ مِنْ سَرَاتِهِمْ عَنْ حَدِيثِ مَحْمُودٍ فَصَدَّقَهُ»  

[Machine] One of us said to his companion, "Let us go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and ask him about the solar eclipse and its significance for his Ummah." So we went to the mosque, and it was crowded with people. We coincided with the Prophet ﷺ coming out and leading the people in prayer, while we prayed after him. He stood for a long time, longer than any prayer we had ever witnessed from him. Then he prostrated for a long time, longer than any prostration we had ever witnessed from him. Then he repeated the same in the second unit of the prayer. And it coincided with the sun becoming clear again. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then finished the prayer, praised and glorified Allah, testified that there is no god but Allah, and that he is His servant and Messenger. Then he said, "O people, I am a human being, a Messenger. I remind you of Allah, if you know that I have omitted anything from conveying the messages of my Lord to you, have I conveyed the messages of my Lord as they should be conveyed?" They said, "We bear witness that you have conveyed the messages of your Lord and given sincere advice to your Ummah, and fulfilled what was required of you." Then he said, "Now, some people claim that the eclipse of the sun and moon or the disappearance of the stars from their positions are signs of the death of great men on earth. But they are lying. Rather, these are signs from the signs of Allah, by which He warns His servants, so that those among them who seek repentance may repent. I have seen this while standing in my place of prayer, which you cannot reach in your worldly and hereafter lives. The Hour will not be established until thirty liars appear, the last of whom is the one-eyed Dajjal. He will have the mark of the eye of Abu Tayyibah, a blind man from the Ansar, between his eyes and Aisha's room. The believers will be confined in the Sacred House and will be severely pressed, and they will be displaced greatly." Al-Aswad bin Qays said, "I thought he meant that Isa ibn Maryam ﷺ would emerge among them and Allah would defeat him and his army. Even if the wall adjoins a stump or the branch of a tree, it will say to the believer, 'This is a disbeliever who has concealed himself behind me, so come and kill him.' But it will not be as you think until you see things happening among you that will cause disputes and you will say to each other, 'Did your Prophet mention anything about this?' And even the mountains will move from their positions, and then comes the time of taking away." Ibn al-Mubarik said, "Meaning death."

Abu Bakr came riding his horse from his dwelling place in As-Sunh. He got down from it, entered the Mosque and did not speak with anybody till he came to me and went direct to the Prophet, who was covered with a marked blanket. Abu Bakr uncovered his face. He knelt down and kissed him and then started weeping and said, "My father and my mother be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Prophet! Allah will not combine two deaths on you. You have died the death which was written for you." Narrated Abu Salama from Ibn ʿAbbas : Abu Bakr came out and ʿUmar , was addressing the people, and Abu Bakr told him to sit down but ʿUmar refused. Abu Bakr again told him to sit down but ʿUmar again refused. Then Abu Bakr recited the Tashah-hud (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Messenger of Allah ﷺ) and the people attended to Abu Bakr and left ʿUmar. Abu Bakr said, "Amma ba'du, whoever amongst you worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, Allah is alive and will never die. Allah said: 'Muhammad is no more than an Apostle and indeed (many) Apostles have passed away before him ..(up to the) grateful.' " (3.144) (The narrator added, "By Allah, it was as if the people never knew that Allah had revealed this verse before till Abu Bakr recited it and then whoever heard it, started reciting it.") (Using translation from Bukhārī 1241)

"عن إسحاق بن بشر القرشى قال: أنبأنا ابن إسحاق وأبو إسحاق قال: جاء رجلٌ إلى عمر بن الخطاب فقال: يا أمير المؤمنين! ما {النَّازِعَاتِ غَرْقًا} (*) فقال عمر: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قال: امْرُؤٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ، مِنْ بَنِى تَمِيمٍ، ثُمَّ أَحدُ بَنِى سَعْدٍ، قال: مِنْ قَوْمٍ جُفاةٍ، أَمَّا إِنَّكَ لَتَحْمِلَنَّ إِلَى عَامِلِكَ مَا يَسُوءُكَ، ولهزهُ (* *) حتى فَرَّتْ قَلَنْسُوَتُهُ، فإِذَا هُوَ وَافِرُ الشَّعَرِ، فقال: أَمَّا إِنِّى لَوْ وَجَدْتُكَ مَحلُوقًا مَا سَأَلْتُ عَنْكَ، ثم كتب إلى أبى موسى: أما بعد: فَإِنَّ الأَصْبَغَ بن عَلِيمٍ التَّمِيمِىَّ تَكَلَّفَ مَا كُفِىَ وَضَيَّعَ مَا وَلِىَ، فَإِذَا جَاءَكَ كِتَابِى هَذَا فَلاَ تُبَايِعُوهُ، وَإِنْ مَرِضَ فَلاَ تَعُودُوهُ، وإِنْ مَاتَ فَلا تَشْهدُوهُ، ثمَّ التْفْتَ إِلَى الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الله - ﷻ - خَلَقَكُمْ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِضَعْفِكُمْ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولًا مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ، وَأَنْزَلَ عليكم كتَابًا وَحَدَّ لَكُمْ فِيه حُدُودًا أَمَرَكُمْ أَن لَّا تَعْتَدُوهَا، وفَرَضَ فَرَائِضَ أَمرَكم أن تتبعوها، وَحَرَّمَ حُرَمًا نَهَاكُمْ أَن تَنْتَهِكُوهَا، وَتَركَ أَشْياءَ لَمْ يَدَعْهَا نِسيَانًا، فَلاَ تَتَكَلَّفُوهَا وِإنَّما تَركها رَحْمَةً لَكُمْ، قال: فَكَان الأصبغُ بنُ عَلِيمٍ يَقُولُ: قد قَدِمتُ الْبَصْرَةَ فَأَقَمْتُ بِهَا

"عَنْ أبى بكر بن سالم بن عبد الله بن عمَر بن الخطاب قال: لما حَضَرَ أبا بكرٍ الموتُ أوصى: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ، هذا عهدٌ من أبى بكرٍ الصديق عن آخر عهده بالدنيا خارجًا منها، وَأوَّلِ عَهْدِه بالآخِرَةِ داخلًا فيهَا، حيثُ يُؤْمِنُ الكافرُ، وَيَتَّقِى الفاجرُ، ويَصْدُق الكاذِبُ، إِنِّى أسْتَخْلِفُ مِنْ بَعْدِى عُمَرَ بن الخطَّابِ فَإنْ عَدَل فَذلكَ ظَنِّى به، وإِنْ جَارَ وَبَدَّل فَالْخيْرَ أَرَدْتُ وَلا أَعْلَمُ الغَيْبَ، وَسَيَعْلَمُ الذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَىَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَنْقَلِبُونَ، ثُمَّ بَعثَ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَدَعَاهُ، فَقَالَ: يا عُمَرُ! أَبْغضَكَ مُبْغِضٌ، وَأَحبَّكَ مُحِبٌّ وَقِدْمًا يُبْغضُ الخيرُ ويُحَبُّ الشَّرُّ، قَالَ: فَلا حَاجَةَ لِى فِيهَا، قَالَ: وَلَكِنْ لَكَ بهَا حَاجَةٌ وقَدْ رَأيْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَصَحبتَهُ وَرَأَيْت أَثْرَتَهُ أُنْفُسَنَا عَلَى نَفْسِه حَتَّى أَنْ كُنَّا لَنُهْدِى لأهْلِهِ فَضْلَ مَا يأتِينَا مِنْهُ، ورأيتَنِى وصحبتنِى وَإِنَّمَا اتَّبَعْتُ أَثَرَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلِى، واللهِ: مَا نِمْتُ فحلُمْتُ، ولا شَهِدْتُ فتَوَهَّمْتُ، وَإِنِّى لَعَلَى طريقٍ مَا زُغْتُ، تَعْلَمُ يا عُمرُ: أنَّ للهِ حَقًا فِى اللَّيْلِ لا يَقْبَلُهُ بِالنَّهار، وَحَقًا فِى النَّهَارِ لَا يَقْبَلُهُ فِى اللَّيْلِ، وَإنَّما ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُ مَنْ ثَقُلَتْ مَوارينُه يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ باتِّباعهم الْحَقَّ وَحُقَّ لميزَانٍ أَنْ يثْقُلَ لا يَكُونُ فيه إلا الحقُّ، وَإِنَّما خَفَّتْ موازينُ مَنْ خَفَّتْ موازينه يوم القيامة باتِّبَاعِهمُ البَاطل وَحُقَّ لميزَانٍ أَنْ يخف لا يَكونُ فِيه إلا الباطلُ، أَوَّل من أحذرك نفسك وأُحذرك الناس، فإنهم قد طمحت أبصارهم، وانتفخت أجْوَافهم

وإن لهم لجَبْرةً عنَ زلَّةٍ تكون، وإياك أن تكونه، فإنهم لن يزالوا خائفين لك فَرِقِينَ مِنْك ما خفتَ من الله وَفَرِقْتَهُ، وهذه وصيتى وأَقرأُ عليك السَّلامَ".  

"عَنْ عُمَرَ قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ أَبِى جَهْلٍ وَشَيْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، فَقَالَ أبو جَهْلٍ: يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ! إنَّ محمدًا قد شَتَمَ آلهَتكُمْ، وَسَفَّهَ أَحْلَامَكُمْ، وَزَعَمَ أَنَّ مَنْ مَضَى مِنْ آبَائِكُمْ يَتَهَافَتُونَ فيِ النارِ، أَلَا وَمَنْ قَتَلَ محمدًا فَلَهُ علىَّ مائةُ نَاقَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ وَسوداءَ، وَأَلفُ أُوقيَّةٍ من فِضَّةٍ، فَخَرجتُ مُتَقَلِّدًا السَّيفَ مُتنكِّبًا كِنَانَتى أرِيدُ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فمررْتُ عَلَى عجْلٍ يَذبَحُونَهُ، فَقُمْتُ أنظرُ إليهِمْ، فَإِذَا صَائِحٌ يَصيحُ، مِن جَوْفِ العِجل: يا آلَ ذُرَيْحٍ! أمرٌ نَجِيحٌ، رَجُلٌ يصيحُ، بِلسانٍ فَصيحٍ، يدْعُو إِلَى شَهَادَةِ أن لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله وأن محمدًا رسُولُ اللهِ، فَعلمتُ أنهُ أرَادَنِي، ثُمَّ مررتُ بغنَمٍ فإِذَا هَاتفٌ يهتِفُ يقولُ:

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ذَوُو الأَجْسَامِ ... مَا أَنتمُ وطائِشُ الأَحْلَامِ

وَمُسْنِدُو الحكم إلى الأصنام ... فَكُلُّكُمْ أَرَاهُ كالأنْعامِ

أَمَا تَرَوْنَ مَا أَرَى أَمَامِى ... من سَاطِعٍ يَجْلُو دُجَى الظَّلَامِ

قَدْ لَاحَ للناظِرِ من تهامِ ... أكْرِمْ به الله من إمامِ

قَدْ جاء بعد الكفرِ بالإِسلام ... والبرِّ والصِّلَاتِ للأرْحامِ

فقلت: والله ما أراه إلا أرادنى، ثم مررتُ بِالضِّمَارِ، فَإِذا هَاتفٌ من جوفِهِ:

تُرِكَ الضِّمَارُ وَكَانَ يُعْبَدُ وحدَهُ ... بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ مَعَ النبيِّ محمدِ

إن الذي وَرِثَ النبوةَ والهدى ... بعد ابنِ مريمَ من قريش مُهتدِ

سيقولُ من عَبَدَ الضمارَ ومثلَهُ ... لَيتَ الضِّمارَ ومثلَهُ لم يُعْبَدِ

فَاصْبِرْ أبا حفصٍ فإِنَّكَ آمِنٌ ... يأتيكَ عِزٌّ غيرُ عِزِّ بَنِى عَدِى

لا تَعْجَلَنَّ فأنتَ ناصِرُ دينهُ ... حقًا يَقِينًا بِالِّلسَانِ وباليد

فوالله: لقد علمتُ أنهُ أرادَنِي، فجئتُ حتى دَخلتُ على أُخْتِي فإِذَا خَبابُ بن الأرت عندها وزوجُها، فقال خبابٌ: وَيْحَكَ يا عُمرُ أَسْلِمْ، فَدعوتُ بالماءِ فتوَضَّأتُ، ثمَّ خرجتُ إلى النبي ﷺ فقالَ لِي: قد استُجيبَ ليِ فِيكَ يا عمرُ، أسلم، فأسلمتُ وكنتُ رابعَ أربعينَ رجلًا ممن أسلم، ونزلَتْ {يَاأَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ حَسْبُكَ اللَّهُ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} ".  

"عَنْ سَعِيد بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ أَنِّهُ سَمِع أَبَا هُرَيْرَة يَقُولُ: دَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْمَسْجِدَ وَعُمَرُ بنُ الْخَطَّابِ يُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ، فَمَضَى حَتَّى دَخَلَ بَيْتَ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ الَّذِى تُوُفِّىَ فِيهِ، وَهُوَ في بَيْتِ عَائِشَة، فَكَشَفَ عَنْ وَجْهِ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ بُرْدَ حبَرَةٍ، كَانَ مُسَجًى بِهِ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ أَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ فَقَبَّلَهُ، فَقَالَ: بِأَبِى أَنْتَ؛ فَوالله لَا يَجْمَع الله عَلَيْكَ الْمَوْتَتَيْن، لَقَدْ مِتَّ الْمَوْتَةَ الَّتِى لَا تَمُوتُ بَعْدَهَا، ثَمَّ خَرَجَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِلَى النَّاسِ في الْمَسْجِد وَعُمَرُ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: اجْلِسْ يَا عُمَرُ، فَأَبَى عُمَرُ أَنْ يَجْلسَ، فَكَلَّمَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا، فَلَمَّا أَبَى عُمَرُ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ، قَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَتَشَهَّدَ فَأَقْبَلَ الَنَّاسُ إِلَيْه وَتَرَكُوا عُمَرَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ تَشَهُّدَهُ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ: فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ يَعْبُدُ مُحَمَّدًا فَإِنَ مُحَمَّدًا قَدْ مَاتَ، وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ يَعْبُدُ الله، فَإِنَّ الله حَىٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ، قَالَ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: {وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ} إِلَى {الشَّاكِرِينَ} (*) فَلَمَّا تَلَاهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَيْقَنَ النَّاسُ بمَوْت النَّبِىِّ ﷺ وَتَلَقَّاهَا النَّاسُ مِنْ أَبِى بَكْرٍ حِينَ تَلَاهَا - أَوْ كَثِيرٌ مِنْهُمْ - حَتَّى قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ: وَالله لَكَأنَّ النَّاسَ لَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ أُنْزِلَتْ حَتَّى تَلَاهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ: فَزَعَمَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ: وَالله مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ يَتْلُوهَا فَعَقِرْتُ وَأَنَا قَائِمٌ حَتَّى خَرَرْتُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، وَأَيْقَنْتُ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ قَدْ مَاتَ".
