ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ معَبُّودَهُمْ جَلَّ وَعَلَا

Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent out ten spies under the command of ʿAsim bin Thabit Al-Ansari, the grand-father of ʿAsim bin ʿUmar Al-Khattab. When they reached (a place called) Al-Hadah between 'Usfan and Mecca, their presence was made known to a sub-tribe of Hudhail called Banu Lihyan. So they sent about one hundred archers after them. The archers traced the footsteps (of the Muslims) till they found the traces of dates which they had eaten at one of their camping places. The archers said, "These dates are of Yathrib (i.e. Medina)," and went on tracing the Muslims' footsteps. When ʿAsim and his companions became aware of them, they took refuge in a (high) place. But the enemy encircled them and said, "Come down and surrender. We give you a solemn promise and covenant that we will not kill anyone of you." ʿAsim bin Thabit said, "O people! As for myself, I will never get down to be under the protection of an infidel. O Allah! Inform your Prophet about us." So the archers threw their arrows at them and martyred ʿAsim. Three of them came down and surrendered to them, accepting their promise and covenant and they were Khubaib, Zaid bin Ad-Dathina and another man. When the archers got hold of them, they untied the strings of the arrow bows and tied their captives with them. The third man said, "This is the first proof of treachery! By Allah, I will not go with you for I follow the example of these." He meant the martyred companions. The archers dragged him and struggled with him (till they martyred him). Then Khubaib and Zaid bin Ad-Dathina were taken away by them and later on they sold them as slaves in Mecca after the event of the Badr battle. The sons of Al-Harit bin ʿAmr bin Naufal bought Khubaib for he was a person who had killed (their father) Al-Hari bin ʿAmr on the day (of the battle) of Badr. Khubaib remained imprisoned by them till they decided unanimously to kill him. One day Khubaib borrowed from a daughter of Al-Harith, a razor for shaving his pubic hair, and she lent it to him. By chance, while she was inattentive, a little son of hers went to him (i.e. Khubaib) and she saw that Khubaib had seated him on his thigh while the razor was in his hand. She was so much terrified that Khubaib noticed her fear and said, "Are you afraid that I will kill him? Never would I do such a thing." Later on (while narrating the story) she said, "By Allah, I had never seen a better captive than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I saw him eating from a bunch of grapes in his hand while he was fettered with iron chains and (at that time) there was no fruit in Mecca." She used to say," It was food Allah had provided Khubaib with." When they took him to Al-Hil out of Mecca sanctuary to martyr him, Khubaib requested them. "Allow me to offer a two-rakʿat prayer." They allowed him and he prayed two rakʿat and then said, "By Allah! Had I not been afraid that you would think I was worried, I would have prayed more." Then he (invoked evil upon them) saying, "O Allah! Count them and kill them one by one, and do not leave anyone of them"' Then he recited: "As I am martyred as a Muslim, I do not care in what way I receive my death for Allah's Sake, for this is for the Cause of Allah. If He wishes, He will bless the cut limbs of my body." Then Abu Sarva, 'Ubqa bin Al-Harith went up to him and killed him. It was Khubaib who set the tradition of praying for any Muslim to be martyred in captivity (before he is executed). The Prophet ﷺ told his companions of what had happened (to those ten spies) on the same day they were martyred. Some Quraish people, being informed of ʿAsim bin Thabit's death, sent some messengers to bring a part of his body so that his death might be known for certain, for he had previously killed one of their leaders (in the battle of Badr). But Allah sent a swarm of wasps to protect the dead body of ʿAsim, and they shielded him from the messengers who could not cut anything from his body.

Some people said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He said, "Do you crowd and squeeze each other on looking at the sun when it is not hidden by clouds?" They replied, "No, Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said, "Do you crowd and squeeze each other on looking at the moon when it is full and not hidden by clouds?" They replied, No, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" He said, "So you will see Him (your Lord) on the Day of Resurrection similarly Allah will gather all the people and say, 'Whoever used to worship anything should follow that thing. 'So, he who used to worship the sun, will follow it, and he who used to worship the moon will follow it, and he who used to worship false deities will follow them; and then only this nation (i.e., Muslims) will remain, including their hypocrites. Allah will come to them in a shape other than they know and will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'We seek refuge with Allah from you. This is our place; (we will not follow you) till our Lord comes to us, and when our Lord comes to us, we will recognize Him. Then Allah will come to then in a shape they know and will say, "I am your Lord.' They will say, '(No doubt) You are our Lord,' and they will follow Him. Then a bridge will be laid over the (Hell) Fire." Messenger of Allah ﷺ added, "I will be the first to cross it. And the invocation of the Apostles on that Day, will be 'Allahumma Sallim, Sallim (O Allah, save us, save us!),' and over that bridge there will be hooks Similar to the thorns of As Sa'dan (a thorny tree). Didn't you see the thorns of As-Sa'dan?" The companions said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He added, "So the hooks over that bridge will be like the thorns of As-Sa-dan except that their greatness in size is only known to Allah. These hooks will snatch the people according to their deeds. Some people will be ruined because of their evil deeds, and some will be cut into pieces and fall down in Hell, but will be saved afterwards, when Allah has finished the judgments among His slaves, and intends to take out of the Fire whoever He wishes to take out from among those who used to testify that none had the right to be worshipped but Allah. We will order the angels to take them out and the angels will know them by the mark of the traces of prostration (on their foreheads) for Allah banned the f ire to consume the traces of prostration on the body of Adam's son. So they will take them out, and by then they would have burnt (as coal), and then water, called Ma'ul Hayat (water of life) will be poured on them, and they will spring out like a seed springs out on the bank of a rainwater stream, and there will remain one man who will be facing the (Hell) Fire and will say, 'O Lord! It's (Hell's) vapor has Poisoned and smoked me and its flame has burnt me; please turn my face away from the Fire.' He will keep on invoking Allah till Allah says, 'Perhaps, if I give you what you want), you will ask for another thing?' The man will say, 'No, by Your Power, I will not ask You for anything else.' Then Allah will turn his face away from the Fire. The man will say after that, 'O Lord, bring me near the gate of Paradise.' Allah will say (to him), 'Didn't you promise not to ask for anything else? Woe to you, O son of Adam ! How treacherous you are!' The man will keep on invoking Allah till Allah will say, 'But if I give you that, you may ask me for something else.' The man will say, 'No, by Your Power. I will not ask for anything else.' He will give Allah his covenant and promise not to ask for anything else after that. So Allah will bring him near to the gate of Paradise, and when he sees what is in it, he will remain silent as long as Allah will, and then he will say, 'O Lord! Let me enter Paradise.' Allah will say, 'Didn't you promise that you would not ask Me for anything other than that? Woe to you, O son of Adam ! How treacherous you are!' On that, the man will say, 'O Lord! Do not make me the most wretched of Your creation,' and will keep on invoking Allah till Allah will smile and when Allah will smile because of him, then He will allow him to enter Paradise, and when he will enter Paradise, he will be addressed, 'Wish from so-and-so.' He will wish till all his wishes will be fulfilled, then Allah will say, All this (i.e. what you have wished for) and as much again therewith are for you.' " Abu Huraira added: That man will be the last of the people of Paradise to enter (Paradise).

"I supplicate Allah to bring you and I together in the market of Paradise." So Sa'eed said: "Is there a market in it?" He said: "Yes, the messenger of Allah ﷺ informed me that: 'When the people of Paradise enter it, they shall take their places according to the virtue of their deeds. Then permission shall be granted to them to visit their Lord, for the length of a Friday from the days of the world. He shall present for them His Throne and He shall manifest the gardens of Paradise. Then lofty seats of light shall be erected for them, and lofty saets of pearl, and lofty seats or corundum, and lofty seats of peridots, and lofty seats of gold, and lofty seats of silver. And the lowest of them- and there is none of them that is low- shall sit upon a dune of musk and camphor, and they shall not regard those upon the chairs as having a better sitting place than them.' Abu Hurairah said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, and will we see our Lord?' He ﷺ said: 'Yes.[He said: ] Do you doubt [concerning] seeing the sun, or the moon on a night when it is full?' We said: 'No.' He said: 'Likewise, you will not doubt concerning seeing your Lord. And they shall not remain in that meeting any man except Allah shall give him a lecture until he says to a man from among them: "O so-and – so son of so - and – so, do you remember the day when you said such-and-such.” And He will remind him of some of his betrayals in the world, so he will say: “O my Lord, did you not forgive me?” So He will say: “Indeed! It is by the vastness of My Forgiveness that you reached this station of yours.” So while they are engaged in this they shall be covered by a cloud that shall rain upon them a perfume, the like of whose smell they have not smelled, ever. And our Lord [Blessed and Exalted is He] shall say: “Arise to what I have prepared for you of generosity, and take whatever you desire.” Then, we will come to a market which the angels will have already surrounded. [In it] shall be what no eyes have seen the like of, nor ears have heard of, nor ever has it occurred in the hearts (of men). And there shall be carried to us whatever we desire. There shall be not be anything sold or bought in this market, and, in that market, the people of Paradise shall meet one another.' He said: 'So the person of high rank shall come and meet the one below him in rank- and there is none among them that is low- so he shall be impressed by the clothes he sees on him, their discussion shall not come to an end until he shall imagine upon himself what is more beautiful than it, and that is because it is not fitting for anyone to feel regret therein. Then we will return to our places and our wives shall meet us saying: “Welcome and greetings, you have come, and you have beauty greater than what you parted us with.” So we will say: “Indeed we sat today with our Lord, the Powerful, and it is fitting that we should return with what we have returned with.'” (Da'if)

"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.'"

“I supplicate Allah to bring you and I together in the marketplace of Paradise,” Sa’eed said: “Is there a marketplace there?” He said: “Yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told me that when the people of Paradise enter it, they will take their places according to their deeds, and they will be given permission for a length of time equivalent to Friday on earth, when they will visit Allah. His Throne will be shown to them and He will appear to them in one of the gardens of Paradise. Chairs of light and chairs of pearls and chairs of rubies and chairs of chrysolite and chairs of gold and chairs of silver will be placed for them. Those who are of a lower status than them, and none of them will be regarded as insignificant, will sit on sandhills of musk and camphor, and they will not feel that those who are sitting on chairs are seated better than them.” Abu Hurairah said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord?’ He said: ‘Yes. Do you dispute that you see the sun and the moon on the night when it is full?’ We said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Likewise, you will not dispute that you see your Lord, the Glorified. There will be no one left in that gathering with whom Allah does not speak face to face, until He will say to a man among you: “Do you not remember, O so-and-so, the day you did such and such?” And He will remind him of some of his sins in this world. He will say: “O Lord, have You not forgiven me?” He will say: “Yes, it is by the vastness of My forgiveness that You have reached the position you are in.” While they are like that, a cloud will cover them from above and will rain down on them perfume the like of whose fragrance they have never smelled before. Then He will say: “Get up and go to the honor that has been prepared for you, and take whatever you desire.” So we will go to a marketplace surrounded by the angels, in which there will be such things as eyes have never seen, ears have never heard and it has not entered the heart of man. Whatever we desire will be carried for us. Nothing will be bought or sold therein. In that marketplace the people of Paradise will meet one another. A man of elevated status will meet those who are of lower status than him, but none shall be regarded as insignificant, and he will be dazzled by the clothes that he sees on him. He will not finish the last of his conversation before better clothes appear on him. That is because no one should be sad there.’” “He said: ‘Then we will go back to our homes where we will be met by our wives, and they will say: ‘Welcome. You have come looking more handsome and with a better fragrance than when you left us.’ And we will say: ‘Today we sat with our Lord, the Compeller, the Glorified, and we deserve to come back as we have come back.’”

Abu Bakr bought a saddle from ‘Azib for thirteen dirhams, then Abu Bakr said to 'Azib. Tell al-Bara to carry it to my house. He said: No, not until you tell us what happened when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and you were with him. Abu Bakr said: We started our journey at the beginning of the night and we hastened for one day and one night, until it was midday. I looked into the distance to see whether there was anywhere to seek shade, and I saw a rock, so I went to it and it had a little shade. I smoothed the ground for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and spread a garment of camel hair for him, and said: Lie down and rest, O Messenger of Allah. So he lay down, and I went out to see if I could spot anyone looking for us. Then I saw a shepherd and I said: Who do you belong to, O boy? He said: To a man of Quraish. He mentioned his name and I recognised it. I said: Is there any milk in your sheep? He said: Yes | said: Will you milk some for me? He said: Yes. I told him to do that, so he caught a sheep, then I told him to brush the dust from its teat, then to brush the dust off his hands. I had a small vessel with me on the neck of which was a cloth. He milked a little bit of milk for me and I poured it into the vessel until it cooled down. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When I reached him, he had already woken up. I said: Drink, O Messenger of Allah. He drank until I was pleased, then I said: Is it time to move on? So we moved on and the people were coming after us but none of them caught up with us except Suraqah bin Malik bin Ju'shum, who was riding a horse of his, I said: O Messenger of Allah, someone has caught up with us. He said: ʿDo not be afraid, for Allah is with us.ʿ When he got close to us, and there was no more between us and him then the length of a spear or two or three spears, I said: O Messenger of Allah, this pursuer has caught up with us, and I wept. He said: ʿWhy are you weeping?ʿ I said: I am not weeping for myself; rather I am weeping for you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed against him [the pursuer] and said: “O Allah, protect us from him by whatever means You will.” Then his horse's legs sank into the solid ground up to its belly, and he fell off it. He said: O Muhammad, I know that this is because of you; pray to Allah to save me from my predicament, and by Allah I shall divert away from you any one who is behind me of those who are seeking you. Here is my quiver, take one arrow. You are going to pass by some camels and sheep of mine in such and such a place, take whatever you need from thern. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿI have no need of it.“ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for him and he was released, and he went back to his companions. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I continued on our way until we came to Madinah, where the people met him. They came out on the road and on the roofs, and a lot of servants and children crowded the road saying: Allahu Akbar, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has come, Muhammad has come. The people disputed as to who he would stay with. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿTonight I will stay with Banun-Najjar, the maternal uncles of 'Abdul-Muttalib, to honour them thereby.” The next morning, he went where he was instructed. Al-Bara' bin 'Azib said: The first of the Muhajireen to come to us was Mus'ab bin 'Umair, the brother of Banu 'Abdud-Dar. Then Ibn Umm Maktoom, the blind man and brother of Banu Fihr, came to us. Then 'Umar bin al-Khattab, came to us with twenty riders and we said: What happened to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: He is behind me. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and Abu Bakr was with him. Al-Bara said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not come until I had read some soorahs from al-Mufassal [Al-Mufassal is that portion of the Qur'an which goes from Qaf to an-Nas]. Isra'eel said: al-Bara' was one of the Ansar from Banu Harithah.

[Machine] He said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Antichrist will emerge during a period of confusion in religion and ignorance in knowledge. He will have forty nights that are equivalent to one year, one night equivalent to a month, and one night equivalent to a week. The rest of his days will be like your days. He will have a donkey on which he will ride, its ear to its ear measuring forty cubits. He will say to the people, 'I am your Lord,' even though he is blind in one eye. Indeed, your Lord is not one-eyed, and it is written between his eyes that he is a disbeliever (Kafir). Every believer will read it, literate or illiterate. There will not be any water or well left except for the cities of Madinah and Makkah, which Allah has made forbidden for him. The angels will stand guarding their gates, and with him will be mountains of bread. The people will be in great distress, except those who follow him. With him, there will be two rivers. I know which is Paradise and which is Hell. Whoever is entered into the one named Paradise will actually be in Hell, and whoever is entered into the one named Hell will actually be in Paradise." He said, "Allah will send devils with him, who will speak to the people. With him, there will be a great trial. He will command the sky, and it will rain upon the people, and he will kill a person, then bring him back to life before the people's eyes. He will not have control over any people other than his own. He will say, 'O people, why don't you come out to the deceitful liar?' They will say, 'This is a genie man,' and they will set out towards him. Suddenly, they will find themselves with Jesus, the son of Mary. The prayer will be established, and it will be said to him, 'Come forward, O Spirit of Allah.' He will reply, 'Let your Imam come forward and lead you in prayer.' After performing the morning prayer, they will go towards the Antichrist. When the Antichrist sees Jesus, he will start melting like salt in water, and he will try to flee from him. Jesus will pursue and kill him until even a tree or a stone will call out, 'O Spirit of Allah, here is a Jew hiding behind me, so come and kill him.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Ghālib ibn ‘Abdullah al-Kalbi with Kalb, the Lion, to the tribe of Banī Mulawwah in al-Kudayd. He commanded him to change their position, so we went with him until we reached Qudayd. There, we met al-Harith ibn Mālik, who was from the tribe of Lays, so we captured him. He said, "I have only come to embrace Islam." Ghālib ibn ‘Abdullah said, "If you have come as a Muslim, then no harm will come to you for one day and one night. However, if you have come for something else, we will take precautions with you." He said, "I give you my word and security." So Ghālib ibn ‘Abdullah gave him a bond of safety, and then he left someone dark-skinned with him, who was with us. He said to him, "Stay with him until we pass by you. If he confronts you, grab his head." He said, "Then we continued until we reached the belly of al-Kudayd. We camped there after ‘Asr prayer. My companions sent me to a hilltop to observe the enemy. I lay on top of it until it was Maghrib time. A man among them came out and looked. He saw me lying on the hilltop and said to his wife, 'By Allah, I see someone lying on this hilltop. I did not see him in the morning. Be careful, lest the dogs have eaten some of our provisions.' She looked and said, 'No, by Allah, I have not lost anything.' He said, 'Then give me my bow and two arrows from my quiver.' She gave them to him, and he shot me with an arrow, which I placed by my side. I took it and did not move. Then he shot me with another arrow, which I placed on top of my right shoulder. I took it and did not move. He said to his wife, 'By Allah, these arrows have touched me. If they were enchanted, they would have moved. When it is morning, seek for my arrows and take them. However, do not bite them, for the dogs might be affected by them.' We waited there until their scent had dissipated, and they settled down or went to sleep. In the darkness of the night, we launched a surprise attack on them and killed those we killed from among them, and we took their flocks. We headed off swiftly until we passed by al-Harith ibn al-Barssā’, his friend. We took him with us. The people shouted aloud to their people in a state of shock, and we advanced swiftly. When there was nothing left between us and them except the belly of the valley, a flood came down between us and them, which Allah sent wherever He pleased. We had never seen anything like it before, neither rain nor hail. It came with something that no one can withstand. We saw them standing, looking at us, but none of them could advance, while we crossed it swiftly until it settled. Then we attacked them from a hidden position until we defeated them with what we had in our hands.

[Machine] I said to him, "Have you ever seen Quraish suffer from any harm inflicted by the Messenger of Allah in what he openly displayed of enmity towards them?" He replied, "I was present with them on a day when their nobles gathered together in the Hijr. They mentioned the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'We have never seen anyone endure what we have endured from this man. He has ridiculed our dreams, insulted our fathers, cursed our religion, divided our community, and slandered our gods. We have shown great patience in dealing with him on a tremendous matter, or as they say.' He ﷺ appeared before them while they were in this state. He walked until he reached the corner and then passed by them in front of the Ka'bah. When he passed by them, they made gestures mocking him and he noticed that in their faces. Then he passed by them a second time and they made the same gestures, and he noticed that in their faces. Then he passed by them a third time and they made the same gestures, and then he said, 'Listen, O people of Quraish! By the One in whose hand is Muhammad's soul, I have brought you Slaughter (for the idols)!' The people kept silent and not a man among them moved, as if there were birds perched on their heads, until the strongest among them gets hold of himself and voices the noblest of what he thinks of. So he said, 'Leave, O Abu Al-Qasim, depart freely, for by Allah, you were not ignorant.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then left until it was the following day. They gathered together in the Hijr and I was with them. Some of them said to the others, 'You have mentioned what you have heard from him and what you have learned about him, until he has started saying what you dislike. You abandoned him.' While they were in this state, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appeared before them and they rushed towards him like a group of men surrounding him and saying, 'Are you the one who said such and such?' They mentioned to him what they had heard from him regarding the faults of their idols and religion. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Yes, I am the one who said that.' Then a man among them took hold of his garment and said, 'And Abu Bakr As-Siddiq was standing beside him, saying while he was weeping, 'Would you kill a man just because he says, My Lord is Allah?' Then they left him. Verily, this was the most intense thing I have ever seen Quraish reach from him."  

قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا أَكْثَرَ مَا رَأَيْتَ قُرَيْشًا أَصَابَتْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ فِيمَا كَانَتْ تُظْهِرُ مِنْ عَدَاوَتِهِ؟ قَالَ حَضَرْتُهُمْ وَقَدِ اجْتَمَعَ أَشْرَافُهُمْ يَوْمًا فِي الْحِجْرِ فَذَكَرُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا مَا رَأَيْنَا مِثْلَ مَا صَبَرْنَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ قَطُّ سَفَّهَ أَحْلَامَنَا وَشَتَمَ آبَاءَنَا وَعَابَ دِينَنَا وَفَرَّقَ جَمَاعَتَنَا وَسَبَّ آلِهَتَنَا لَقَدْ صَبَرْنَا مِنْهُ عَلَى أَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ أَوْ كَمَا قَالُوا قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ طَلَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَقْبَلَ يَمْشِي حَتَّى اسْتَلَمَ الرُّكْنَ ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِهِمْ طَائِفًا بِالْبَيْتِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ مَرَّ بِهِمْ غَمَزُوهُ بِبَعْضِ مَا يَقُولُ قَالَ فَعَرَفْتُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ مَضَى فَلَمَّا مَرَّ بِهِمُ الثَّانِيَةَ غَمَزُوهُ بِمِثْلِهَا فَعَرَفْتُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ مَضَى ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِهِمُ الثَّالِثَةَ فَغَمَزُوهُ بِمِثْلِهَا فَقَالَ تَسْمَعُونَ يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ أَمَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ جِئْتُكُمْ بِالذَّبْحِ فَأَخَذَتِ الْقَوْمَ كَلِمَتُهُ حَتَّى مَا مِنْهُمْ رَجُلٌ إِلَّا كَأَنَّمَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ طَائِرٌ وَاقِعٌ حَتَّى إِنَّ أَشَدَّهُمْ فِيهِ وَصَاةً قَبْلَ ذَلِكَلَيَرْفَؤُهُ بِأَحْسَنِ مَا يَجِدُ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَيَقُولُ انْصَرِفْ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ انْصَرِفْ رَاشِدًا فَوَاللهِ مَا كُنْتَ جَهُولًا قَالَ فَانْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ الْغَدُ اجْتَمَعُوا فِي الْحِجْرِ وَأَنَا مَعَهُمْ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ ذَكَرْتُمْ مَا بَلَغَ مِنْكُمْ وَمَا بَلَغَكُمْ عَنْهُ حَتَّى إِذَا بَادَأَكُمْ بِمَا تَكْرَهُونَ تَرَكْتُمُوهُ فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ إِذْ طَلَعَ عليهم رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَثَبُوا إِلَيْهِ وَثْبَةَ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ فَأَحَاطُوا بِهِ يَقُولُونَ لَهُ أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَقُولُ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ لِمَا كَانَ يَبْلُغُهُمْ عَنْهُ مِنْ عَيْبِ آلِهَتِهِمْ وَدِينِهِمْ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَعَمْ أَنَا الَّذِي أَقُولُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ أَخَذَ بِمَجْمَعِ رِدَائِهِ قَالَ وَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ دُونَهُ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ يَبْكِي {أَتَقْتُلُونَ رَجُلًا أَنْ يَقُولَ رَبِّيَ اللهُ} [غافر 28] ؟ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا عَنْهُ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَأَشَدُّ مَا رَأَيْتُ قُرَيْشًا بَلَغَتْ مِنْهُ قَطُّ  

"We were with the Messenger of Allah when the delegation of Hawazin came to him and said: 'O Muhammad! We are one of the 'Arab tribes and a calamity has befallen us of which you are well aware. Do us a favor, may Allah bless you.' He said: 'Choose between your wealth or your women and children.' They said: 'You have given us a choice between our families and our wealth; we choose our women and children.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'As for that which was allocated to myself and to Banu 'Abdul-Muttalib, it is yours. When I have prayed Zuhr, stand up and say: "We seek the help of the Messenger of Allah in dealing with the believers, or the Muslims, with regard to our women and children."' So when they prayed Zuhr, they stood up and said that. The Messenger of Allah said: 'As for that which was allocated to myself and to Banu 'Abdul-Muttalib, it is yours.' The Muhajirun said: 'That which was allocated to us is for the Messenger of Allah.' The Ansar said: 'That which was allocated to us is for the Messenger of Allah.' Al-Aqra' bin Habis said: 'As for myself and Banu Tamim, then no (we will not give it up).' 'Uyaynah bin Hisn said: 'As for myself and Banu Fazarah, then no (we will not give it up).' Al-'Abbas bin Mirdas said: 'As for myself and Banu Sulaim, then no (we will not give it up).' Banu Sulaim stood up and said: 'You lied; whatever was allocated to us, it is for the Messenger of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'O people, give their women and children back to them. Whoever gives back anything of these spoils of war, he will have six camels from the spoils of war that Allah grants us next.' Then he mounted his riding-animal and the people surrounded him, saying: 'Distribute our spoils of war among us.' They made him go back toward a tree on which his Rida' (upper-wrap) got caught. He said: 'O people! Give me back my Rida'. By Allah! If there were cattle as many in number as the trees of Tihamah I would distribute them among you, then you would not find me a miser, a coward or a liar.' Then he went to a camel and took a hair from its hump between two of his fingers and said: 'Look! I do not have any of the spoils of war. All I have is the Khums, and the Khums will be given back to you.' A man stood up holding a ball of yarn made from goat hair and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I took this to fix my camel-saddle.' He said: 'What was allocated to myself and to Banu 'Abdul-Muttalib is for you.' He said: 'Is this so important? I don't need it!' And he threw it down. He said: 'O people! Give back even needles large and small, for Al-Ghulul will be (a source of) shame and disgrace for those who took it on the Day of Resurrection.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3688)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , sent a reconnaissance mission and appointed 'Asim ibn Thabit, who was the grandfather of 'Asim ibn 'Umar, as their leader. They set out until they reached a place between 'Usfan and Makkah known as "Bani Lihyan". They followed their tracks with a group of about one hundred men led by Ramm, and they pursued them until they reached a resting place where they found dates that were provisions from Madinah. They said, "These are dates from Yathrib." They followed their tracks until they caught up with them. When 'Asim ibn Thabit and his companions sensed them, they sought refuge in a rugged place, and when the people approached them, they surrounded them and said, "We have made a covenant and agreement with you that if you come to us, we will not kill any of you." 'Asim ibn Thabit said, "As for me, I do not enter into a treaty with a disbeliever." They said, "Fight them." So they fought 'Asim and killed him along with seven others. Only Hubayb ibn 'Adi and Zayd ibn ad-Dathinah remained. They entered into a covenant and agreement with them. When they felt secure from them, they tied their hands with their own bowstrings. The third man with them said, "This is the first act of treachery. I refuse to accompany them." So they killed him. Then they departed with Hubayb ibn 'Adi and Zayd ibn ad-Dathinah until they sold them in Makkah. They sold Hubayb to the sons of Al-Harith ibn 'Amir ibn Nawfal, who had killed Al-Harith on the Day of Badr. Hubayb stayed with them as a prisoner until they decided to kill him. He borrowed a razor from the daughter of Al-Harith to prepare himself with it. She said, "I inadvertently failed to restrain my son from approaching it, and he fell upon it until it reached him." She said, "Have no fear that I will kill him. I wouldn't kill him. You will not find a better captive than Hubayb. I saw him eating ripe grapes when Makkah had no ripe fruits at that time. And he is bound in iron, but his sustenance is only provided by Allah." Then they took him out of the sanctuary to kill him. He asked them, "Allow me to pray two Rak'ahs." He prayed the two Rak'ahs, and then said, "If you did not see my eagerness to die, I would increase in it by the Will of Allah." Hubayb was the first to offer two Rak'ahs before being killed. Then 'Uqbah ibn Al-Harith went toward him and killed him. The people of Quraysh sent word to 'Asim to bring them a part of his body that they could recognize. He was a great man among their elite who had been killed on the Day of Badr. So Allah sent upon them a cloud from behind, shielding them from his messengers. They were unable to harm him in any way.

[Machine] We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He said, "Do you have any trouble looking at the sun when there are no clouds?" We said, "No." He said, "Then how about looking at the moon on a full moon night when there are no clouds?" We said, "No." He said, "Indeed, you will see your Lord in a similar manner on the Day of Resurrection. Allah will gather people on the Day of Resurrection in one plain." He said, "Then it will be said, 'Whoever used to worship something, let him follow it.' So those who used to worship the sun will fall into the fire, and those who used to worship the moon will fall into the fire, and those who used to worship idols will fall into the fire." He said, "And everyone who used to worship anything besides Allah, until they fall into the fire." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then only the believers and their hypocrites will remain, between their shoulders, and a few of the People of the Book. Allah will make them insignificant with His hand. Then Allah will come to them and say, 'Are you not following what you used to worship?' They will say, 'We used to worship Allah and we did not see Him.' Then a part of His leg will be uncovered, and no one who used to prostrate to Allah out of sincerity will remain, except that he will fall prostrate. And no one who used to prostrate for showing off and for reputation will remain, except that he will fall on his nose." He said, "Then the Sirat (bridge) will be placed between Hellfire and the people. The Prophets will be on one side and the people will be on the other side. They will say, 'O Allah, grant safety, grant safety.' It is said to them, 'Look, who among you used to have a dinar's weight of faith in his heart?' They will say, 'We used to fight and strive in battles against the enemy, and we used to perform Hajj and Umrah.' It will be said, 'But you bring them the easement.' Then Allah will say, 'Look, who among you used to have a weight of a dirham of faith in his heart?' They will say, 'We used to enjoin good and forbid evil, and we used to give charity.' It will be said, 'But you bring them the easement.' Then Allah will say, 'Look, who among you used to have a weight of a mustard seed of faith in his heart?' They will say, 'We would say, 'La ilaha illa Allah' (there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah).' It will be said, 'But you bring them the easement.' Abu Sa'id said, 'Between me and you is the Book of Allah.' And I think he meant the statement of Allah, 'And if there is even the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountant.' (Quran 21:47)." He said, "Then they will be brought out of the Fire and will be thrown into a river called Al-Hayawan (Animal River), and they will grow like the growing of a seed in a flood. Do you not see that whatever comes out of the earth to the sun is green? And whatever comes out of the earth to the shade is yellow?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, it is as if you are a shepherd." He said, "Yes, I am like a shepherd.”  

سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ نَرَى رَبَّنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ قَالَ هَلْ تُضَارُّونَ فِي الشَّمْسِ لَيْسَ دُونَهَا سَحَابٌ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا لَا قَالَ فَهَلْ تُضَارُّونَ فِي الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ لَيْسَ دُونَهُ سَحَابٌ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا لَا قَالَ فَإِنَّكُمْ تَرَوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ كَذَلِكَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَجْمَعُ اللهُ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِي صَعِيدٍ وَاحِدٍ قَالَ فَيُقَالُ مَنْ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ شَيْئًا فَلْيَتْبَعْهُ قَالَ فَيَتْبَعُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ الشَّمْسَ الشَّمْسَ فَيَتَسَاقَطُونَ فِي النَّارِ وَيَتْبَعُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ الْقَمَرَ الْقَمَرَ فَيَتَسَاقَطُونَ فِي النَّارِ وَيَتْبَعُالَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ الْأَوْثَانَ الْأَوْثَانَ وَالَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ الْأَصْنَامَ الْأَصْنَامَ فَيَتَسَاقَطُونَ فِي النَّارِ قَالَ وَكُلُّ مَنْ كَانَ يُعْبَدُ مِنْ دُونِ اللهِ حَتَّى يَتَسَاقَطُونَ فِي النَّارِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَيَبْقَى الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَمُنَافِقُوهُمْ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْهِمْ وَبَقَايَا أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَقَلَّلَهُمْ بِيَدِهِ قَالَ فَيَأْتِيهِمُ اللهُ ﷻ فَيَقُولُ أَلَا تَتَّبِعُونَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ؟ قَالَ فَيَقُولُونَ كُنَّا نَعْبُدُ اللهَ وَلَمْ نَرَ اللهَ فَيُكْشَفُ عَنْ سَاقٍ فَلَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ كَانَ يَسْجُدُ لِلَّهِ إِلَّا وَقَعَ سَاجِدًا وَلَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ كَانَ يَسْجُدُ رِيَاءً وَسُمْعَةً إِلَّا وَقَعَ عَلَى قَفَاهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ يُوضَعُ الصِّرَاطُ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْ جَهَنَّمَ وَالْأَنْبِيَاءُ بِنَاحِيتَيْهِ قَوْلُهُمْ اللهُمَّ سَلِّمْ سَلِّمْ اللهُمَّ سَلِّمْ سَلِّمْ وَإِنَّهُ لَدَحْضُ مَزَلَّةٍ وَإِنَّهُ لَكَلَالِيبُ وَخَطَاطِيفُ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَلَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ قَدْ قَالَ تَخْطَفُ النَّاسَ وَحَسَكَةٌ تَنْبُتُ بِنَجْدٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا السَّعْدَانُ قَالَ وَنَعَتَهَا لَهُمْ قَالَ فَأَكُونُ أَنَا وَأُمَّتِي لَأَوَّلَ مَنْ مَرَّ أَوْ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يُجِيزُ قَالَ فَيَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلَ الْبَرْقِ وَمِثْلَ الرِّيحِ وَمِثْلَ أَجَاوِيدِ الْخَيْلِ وَالرِّكَابِ فَنَاجٍ مُسَلَّمٌ وَمَخْدُوشٌ مُكَلَّمٌ وَمَكْدُوسٌ فِي النَّارِ فَإِذَا قَطَعُوهُ أَوْ فَإِذَا جَاوَزُوهُ فَمَا أَحَدُكُمْ فِي حَقٍّ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ حَقٌّ لَهُ بِأَشَدَّ مُنَاشَدَةً مِنْهُمْ فِي إِخْوَانِهِمُ الَّذِينَ سَقَطُوا فِي النَّارِ يَقُولُونَ أَيْ رَبِّ كُنَّا نَغْزُوجَمِيعًا وَنَحُجُّ جَمِيعًا وَنَعْتَمِرُ جَمِيعًا فِيمَ نَجَوْنَا الْيَوْمَ وَهَلَكُوا؟ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ اللهُ ﷻ انْظُرُوا مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ زِنَةُ دِينَارٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ فَأَخْرِجُوهُ قَالَ فَيُخْرَجُونَ قَالَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ زِنَةُ قِيرَاطٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ فَأَخْرِجُوهُ قَالَ فَيُخْرَجُونَ قَالَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةِ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ فَأَخْرِجُوهُ قَالَ فَيُخْرَجُونَ قَالَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ كِتَابُ اللهِ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَأَظُنُّهُ يَعْنِي قَوْلَهُ {وَإِنْ كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنَا بِهَا وَكَفَى بِنَا حَاسِبِينَ} [الأنبياء 47] قَالَ فَيُخْرَجُونَ مِنَ النَّارِ فَيُطْرَحُونَ فِي نَهَرٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ نَهَرُ الْحَيَوَانِ فَيَنْبُتُونَ كَمَا تَنْبُتُ الْحِبُّ فِي حَمِيلِ السَّيْلِ أَلَا تَرَوْنَ مَا يَكُونُ مِنَ النَّبْتِ إِلَى الشَّمْسِ يَكُونُ أَخْضَرَ وَمَا يَكُونُ إِلَى الظِّلِّ يَكُونُ أَصْفَرَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ قَدْ رَعَيْتَ الْغَنَمَ؟ قَالَ أَجَلْ قَدْ رَعَيْتُ الْغَنَمَ  

[Machine] On the authority of Al-Zuhri regarding the statement of Allah (ﷻ), "{Every nation will be called to its book}" [Surah Al-Jathiyah: 28], on the authority of 'Ata ibn Yazid Al-Laythi, on the authority of Abu Hurayrah who said, the people said, "O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He (the Prophet ﷺ) said, "Do you have any difficulty looking at the sun when there are no clouds in the sky?" They said, "No, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you have any difficulty looking at the moon on the night of a full moon when there are no clouds covering it?" They said, "No, O Messenger of Allah." 'Abdul Razzaq once asked, "Do you have any difficulty looking at the moon on the night of a full moon when there are no clouds covering it?" They said, "No, O Messenger of Allah." He (the Prophet ﷺ) said, "You will see your Lord on the Day of Resurrection just as you have no difficulty looking at the sun or the moon." Allah will gather the people and say, "Whoever used to worship something, let them follow it." So those who used to worship the moon will follow the moon, those who used to worship the sun will follow the sun, and those who used to worship the false deities will follow the false deities. Then only the hypocrites will remain. Allah (ﷻ) will come to them in a form that they do not recognize and say, "I am your Lord." They will say, "We seek refuge with Allah from you. This is our station until our Lord comes to us." When our Lord comes to them, they will recognize Him. Allah (ﷻ) will come to them in a form that they recognize and say, "I am your Lord." They will say, "You are our Lord." Then they will follow Him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "A bridge will be set up over Hellfire." The Prophet ﷺ said that he will be the first to cross the bridge and the matter of the messengers will be settled that day. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Allah, grant peace, peace." He described it as being like the thorns of the flower of Sa'dan. He asked, "Have you seen the thorns of the flower of Sa'dan?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "It is like the thorns of the flower of Sa'dan, except that no one knows its exact size except Allah. It will seize the people according to their deeds. Yet some will be saved, such as the wicked who will be thrown into it and those who will be saved. When Allah (ﷻ) finishes judging between people and intends to bring out those who He wants to have mercy upon from the fire

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, passing by the market of Thul-Majaz while I was in a shop of mine. He passed by wearing a red garment, and I heard him saying, "O people, say there is no god but Allah, you will be successful." A man was following him and throwing stones at him, causing his ankle to bleed. The man was saying, "O people, do not listen to him, for he is a liar." I asked, "Who is this?" It was said, "A young boy from the Banu Abd al-Muttalib." When Allah revealed Islam, we left our retreat with our possessions, including a red camel, until we reached close to Madinah. As we were sitting, a man approached us wearing two white garments and greeted us. He asked, "Where are you from?" We replied, "From the retreat, and we have a red camel with us." He asked, "Are you selling me this camel?" We answered, "Yes." He then asked, "For how much?" We replied, "For such and such an amount of dates." He took them without counting, and grabbed the reins of the camel, riding away until he disappeared within the walls of Madinah. At that moment, some of us asked each other, "Do you know this man?" No one knew him. So, some people from the group said, "You are giving your camel to someone you do not know?" The camel's owner said, "Do not worry, for I have seen a man who would never betray us, and I have not seen anything more resembling the moon, next to him, on the night of the full moon." In the evening, a man came to us and greeted us, saying, "Peace be upon you, and may the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you. Are you the ones who came from the retreat?" We said, "Yes." He said, "I am the Messenger of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and he commands you to eat from these dates until you are satisfied and take (some) with you until you are full." We ate from the dates until we were full and took some with us until we were full. The next day, we arrived in Madinah and found the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, standing and delivering a sermon to the people from the pulpit. I heard him saying, "The hand that gives is better than the hand that takes, and you should start with those whom you support, your mother, your father, your sister, your brother, and the one who is nearest to you." Then, a man from the Ansar stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, these are the sons of Tha'laba bin Yarbua who killed so-and-so during the Jahiliyyah, so grant us revenge for our killed." The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, lifted his hands until I saw the whiteness of his armpits and said, "A mother should not be made to suffer for her child, nor a child made to suffer for his mother."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I know what the Antichrist (Dajjal) has with him. He has two rivers, one fire that appears as blazing flames to anyone who sees it, and the other is water that appears white. So if any of you can find him, let him close his eyes and drink the water that appears as fire, for it is actually cool water. Beware of the other river, for it is the tribulation. Know that it is written between his eyes that he is a disbeliever, which can be read by those who can read and even those who cannot read. And know that one of his eyes is wiped over which a mark is left, and from that mark he will emerge towards the end of his affair on the outskirts of the Jordan River, near his house. He will awake and everyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day will be in the vicinity of the Jordan River. And know that he will kill one-third of the Muslims, defeat one-third, and leave one-third. The night will befall them, and some of the believers will say to others, 'What are you waiting for to join your brothers for the sake of pleasing your Lord? So whoever has extra food, let him feed his brother. Pray when dawn breaks and hurry in performing the prayer, then face your enemy.' When they stand for prayer, Jesus, the son of Mary, peace be upon him, will descend to lead them in prayer. After he finishes, he will say, 'This is how you should relieve yourselves from the enemy of Allah.' Abu Hazim said, 'He will melt like salt melts in water.' Abdullah ibn Amr said, 'He will vanish like salt dissolves in water.' Allah will give victory to the Muslims, and they will kill their enemies until even the rocks and the trees will call, 'O Abdullah, O slave of the Most Merciful, O Muslim, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.' So Allah will expose the Muslims, and they will break the cross, kill the swine, and abolish the jizya (tax on non-Muslims). While they are in this state, Allah will bring forth Gog and Magog. They will drink from the lake at the beginning, and the last of them will pass by it and say, 'We have defeated our enemies, here is a trace of water.' Then the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and his companions will follow them until they enter one of the cities in Palestine called Lud. They will say, 'We have defeated those on earth, let us fight those in the sky.' At that moment, Allah will send a disease upon them, opening up boils in their necks, and none of them will remain except that their stench will harm the Muslims. At that point, Jesus, peace be upon him, will call upon Allah, and Allah will send a wind that will throw them into the sea, all of them."

[Machine] "Do not be intimidated by them, for they will return. So We revealed (to Ali) and when it was morning, one who looked like me (Ali) went out, and when he went out, I reminded him (the people) of that incident. Ali said, 'Do not be scared by their presence, for their command is insignificant.' Ali said, 'Do not initiate the fight with them until they initiate it with you.' They sat on their knees and we prepared for battle, and we used our shields as protection. They approached us and handed us spears, and then they attacked us with arrows. Then they got closer and they picked up swords to attack us until they wanted to attack us with their swords. Then, a man from the Banu Abdi Qays tribe named Sa'sa'a bin Sohan called out three times and they asked him what he wanted. He said, 'I remind you to have God in your hearts and to fight on the land that will bear disrespect against its people. I remind you to leave behind the religion, as it will leave you behind like an arrow from a bow.' When we saw that they had placed their swords on us, Ali said, 'Get up, with the blessing of Allah the Almighty.' It was not even midday when we were scattered everywhere and we escaped, and whoever ran, ran. Ali thanked Allah and said, 'My friend (the Prophet) informed me that the leader of the enemy was a man whose hands were marked with hair, like the tail of a lizard. Go and find him.' So we looked for him and we could not find him. Then, an man from the people of Kufa came and said, 'Here he is.' Ali said, 'Allah is the Greatest, by Allah, no one will inform you about his father's lineage being the King.' People started saying, 'This is a King.' Ali said, 'Whose son is he?' They said, 'We do not know.' Then, a man from the people of Kufa came and said, 'I know this man. I was offering cattle as a dowry for a certain man from Banu Fulan, a sheikh from Banu Fulan, and I put easy-to-wear ornaments on them. When I turned my back, the cow ran away, and he called me and said, 'Oh boy, look, the cow has run away.' So I said, 'I see an image of a sunset or a sheep.' He got closer to us, and Ali said, 'Who is that man?' The people said, 'This is the one.' Ali said, 'I swear by Allah, this man has come to you from Yamama to worship Allah in the mosque of Kufa. He worshipped Allah there and called the people until they gathered around him.' Ali said, 'My friend (the Prophet) informed me that these are three brothers from the Jinn. This is the eldest, the second has a large following, and the third one is weak.' Muslim narrated this hadith in Sahih al-Masnad in an abbreviated manner, and it is an authentic hadith."

[Machine] He gathered them all that day, and it was nothing but existence until the Day of Resurrection. Then He made them souls, then formed them and gave them the power of speech. And He took from them the covenant and the pledge, and He made them testify upon themselves, "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we testify." [This] lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were unaware of this." Or [lest] you say, "It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?" [Allah] said, "I swear by Myself, and I bear witness on you all the heavens and the earths, and I bear witness upon your father Adam, 'Am I not your Lord?' They said, 'Yes, we testify.' [This] lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, 'Indeed, we were unaware of this.' Or lest you should say, 'It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?' He said, "Indeed, I bear witness over all of you that I am free from whatever you associate with Me. Indeed, the Messengers will come to you with My reminders and My covenant, and they will present My Books to you." They said, "We bear witness that You are our Lord and our God. You have no Lord besides You, and we have no god besides You." And their father Adam raised them, so He looked at them, and He saw richness and poverty, beauty and otherwise. He said, "My Lord, if You had balanced Your servants." He said, "I love to return the gratitude." And among them were seen prophets like bright lamps. They were given a separate covenant in regards to Prophet-hood and Messengership. This is the saying of Allah, the Exalted, "[And mention] when We took from the prophets their covenant and from you and from Noah." (33:7) And His saying, "So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah." (30:30) And His saying, "This is a warner of the warners of old." (53:56) And His saying, "And We had not found for most of them any covenant, but indeed, We found most of them defiantly disobedient." (7:102) And His saying, "Then We sent following their footsteps Our messengers and followed [them] with Jesus, the son of Mary, and gave him the Gospel. And We placed in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy and monasticism, which they innovated; We did not prescribe it for them except that they did so seeking the approval of Allah." So they did not observe it with due observance. (57:27) He knew in His knowledge those who would deny what He would affirm and those who would affirm what He would deny. So the soul of 'Isa was among those souls to which the covenant was taken in the time of Adam. And that soul was then sent to Maryam when He said, "Settle in a place of worship wherein the sun does not rise, and you take a veil from them." So We sent to her Our soul, and it manifested to her in the form of a well-built man. (19:17) Until His saying, "A determined appointment." (19:21) She conceived. He, who spoke to her, was the soul of 'Isa, peace be upon him. Abu Ja'far narrated to me that Ar-Rabi' bin Anas narrated to him from Abu Al-'Aliyah from Ubayy bin Ka'b who said, "He entered it."

[Machine] That there are people who say that Allah has decreed everything, nothing is left for actions. Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib said, "By Allah, I have never seen Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib angrier than he was until he became concerned about the Day of Resurrection. Then he calmed down and said, 'Do you speak of him? By Allah, I have heard something from them that suffices them for evil. Do they not know?' So I said, 'May Allah have mercy on you, O Abu Muhammad, what is it?' He looked at me, and some of his anger had subsided, and he said, 'Rafi' ibn Khadeej narrated to me that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "There will be a people from my Ummah who will reject Allah and the Qur'an, and they will not even realize it. They will disbelieve just as the Jews and Christians disbelieved."' I said, 'May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah, how is that?' He said, 'They acknowledge some of the predestination and deny the rest.' I said, 'What will they say then?' He said, 'They will say that good comes from Allah and evil comes from Shaytan. They will acknowledge that in the Book of Allah, but will disbelieve in the Qur'an after they have believed and understood it. My Ummah will face enmity, hatred and disputes from them. They are the worst of this Ummah in their time. They will be afflicted with severe oppression from the ruler, who will treat them unjustly and with contempt. Then Allah will send a plague upon them that wipes out most of them. Then there will be an earthquake, and very few of them will survive. Their joy on that day will be so intense, and their sorrow so severe. Then the Dajjal will appear shortly after that.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ started to weep, until we started to weep because of his weeping. We said, 'What makes you weep?' He said, 'I weep for the miserable ones among them, because the worshipper and the diligent one may be among them, even though they are not the first to embark upon this way, and they are overwhelmed by its burden. The fact is that when most of the children of Israel perished by denying predestination, most of my Ummah followed them.' I said, 'May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah, tell me, how should we have faith in predestination?' He said, 'You should believe in Allah alone and understand that no one has any power to harm or benefit except Allah. You should believe in Paradise and Hell, and know that Allah created them before He created the creatures, then He created whom He willed for Paradise and whom He willed for Hell, based on His own wisdom. And everyone is striving to achieve that for which they were created, and they will end up with that which they strove for.'" I said, "Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth."  

أَنَّ أَقْوَامًا يَقُولُونَ قَدَّرَ اللهُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ مَا خَلَا الْأَعْمَالِ قَالَ فَوَاللهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ غَضِبَ غَضَبًا أَشَدَّ مِنْهُ حَتَّى هَمَّ بِالْقِيَامِ ثُمَّ سَكَنَ فَقَالَ تَكَلَّمُوا بِهِ أَمَا وَاللهِ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ فِيهِمْ حَدِيثًا كَفَاهُمْ بِهِ شَرًّا وَيْحَهُمْ أَوَ يَعْلَمُونَ؟ فَقُلْتُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ وَقَدْ سَكَنَ بَعْضُ غَضَبِهِ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَكُونُ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَكْفُرُونَ بِاللهِ وبِالْقُرَآنِ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ كَمَا كَفَرَتِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى» قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَكَيْفَ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ «يُقِرُّونَ بِبَعْضِ الْقَدَرِ ويَكْفُرُونَ بِبَعْضِهِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَا يَقُولُونَ؟ قَالَ يَقُولُونَ الْخَيْرُ مِنَ اللهِ وَالشَّرُّ مِنْ إِبْلِيسَ فَيُقِرُّونَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ كِتَابَ اللهِ ويَكْفُرُونَ بِالْقُرْآنِ بَعْدَ الْإِيمَانِ وَالْمَعْرِفَةِ فَمَا يَلْقَى أُمَّتِي مِنْهُمْ مِنَ الْعَدَاوَةِ وَالْبَغْضَاءِ وَالْجِدَالِ أُولَئِكَ زَنَادِقَةُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ فِي زَمَانِهِمْ يَكُونُ ظُلْمُ السُّلْطَانِ فَيَنَالُهُمْ مِنْ ظُلْمٍ وَحَيْفٍ وَأَثَرَةٍ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ اللهُ ﷻ طَاعُونًا فَيُفْنِي عَامَّتَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ الْخَسْفُ فَمَا أَقَلَّ مَا يَنْجُو مِنْهُمْ الْمُؤْمِنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَلِيلٌ فَرَحُهُ شَدِيدٌ غَمُّهُ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ الْمَسْخُ فَيَمْسَخُ اللهُ ﷻ عَامَّةَ أُولَئِكَ قِرَدَةً وَخَنَازِيرَ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ عَلَى أَثَرِ ذَلِكَ قَرِيبًا ثُمَّ بَكَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَكَيْنَا لِبُكَائِهِ قُلْنَا مَا يُبْكِيكَ؟ قَالَ «رَحْمَةً لِهَمِّ الْأَشْقِيَاءِ لِأَنَّ فِيهِمُ الْمُتَعَبِّدَ وَمِنْهُمُ الْمُجْتَهِدَ مَعَ أَنَّهُمْ لَيْسُوا بِأَوَّلِ مَنْ سَبَقَ إِلَى هَذَا الْقَوْلِ وَضَاقَ بِحَمْلِهِ ذَرْعًا إِنَّ عَامَّةَ مَنْ هَلَكَ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالتَّكْذِيبِ بِالْقَدَرِ» قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقُلْ لِي كَيْفَ الْإِيمَانُ بِالْقَدَرِ؟ قَالَ «تُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَحْدَهُ وَأَنَّهُ لَا يَمْلِكُ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا وَتُؤْمِنُ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ وَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللهَ ﷻ خَالِقُهُمَا قَبْلَ خَلْقِ الْخَلْقِ ثُمَّ خَلَقَ خَلْقَهُ فَجَعَلَهُمْ مَنْ شَاءَ مِنْهُمْ لِلْجَنَّةِ وَمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْهُمْ لِلنَّارِ عَدْلًا ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ وَكُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ لِمَا فُرِغَ لَهُ وَهُوَ صَائِرٌ إِلَى مَا فُرِغَ مِنْهُ» قُلْتُ صَدَقَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ  

[Machine] I was in the market of Al-Majaz when a young man passed by wearing a red cloak. He was saying, "O people, say there is no god but Allah, and you will be successful." A man behind him threw stones at him, causing his face and legs to bleed, saying, "O people, he is a liar, so do not obey him." So I asked, "Who is this?" They said, "This is the son of Hashim's slave girl, who claims to be the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and this is his uncle 'Abdul-'Uzza." When Muhammad ﷺ migrated to Medina and the people embraced Islam, we also left our tribe with our property. When we arrived at Medina and were near its walls, we changed our clothes to different ones. Then, a man on the road asked, "From where have the people come?" We said, "We are from the tribe of Na'mir and we have a red camel standing with a slit ear." He asked, "Are you selling your camel?" We said, "Yes." He asked, "For how much?" We replied, "For such and such a measure of dates." He did not reduce anything from our words and hit his hand. He then took the reins of our camel and turned away with it. When he disappeared from our sight behind the walls, we said, "By Allah, we have not done anything wrong and we have given our pledge to a person we do not know." Then a woman sitting there said, "I have seen a man whose face resembles a full moon. By Allah, he will neither oppress you nor disappoint you. I guarantee your camel." Then, a man came and said, "I am the Messenger, the Messenger of Allah, to you. This is your camel's provision, so eat, be satisfied, and store some." So we ate, were satisfied, stored some, and entered the mosque. We found him delivering a sermon from the pulpit. We heard him saying, "Give charity, as charity is beneficial for you. The upper hand is better than the lower hand. Begin by giving to those you have obligations towards, such as your father, mother, sister, brother, and the closest relatives." So a man from the Ansar stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, these are the sons of Yarbu' who killed one of us during the pre-Islamic period. Should we still fulfill our obligations towards them?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said three times, "Indeed, a father does not inherit from his child."

[Machine] "I saw the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , passing through the market of Dhi al-Majaz while I was in my shop. He passed by wearing a red garment, and I heard him saying, 'O people, say there is no god but Allah, and you will succeed.' A man following him was throwing stones at him, causing his heels to bleed. The man said, 'O people, do not obey him, for he is a liar.' I asked, 'Who is this?' They said, 'He is a young boy from the Bani Abd al-Muttalib tribe.' I asked, 'Who is the one throwing stones at him?' They said, 'His uncle, Abd al-Uzza Abu Lahab bin Abd al-Muttalib.' When Allah made Islam apparent, we left the mountain pass, and we had with us a herd of camels. We came close to the city when we were sitting down, and a man wearing two garments greeted us. He asked, 'Which tribe are you from?' We replied, 'We are from the mountain pass, and we have with us a red camel.' He asked, 'Are you selling the camel?' We replied, 'Yes.' He asked, 'For how much?' We said, 'For this much and this much (giving the measurement in weight) of dates.' He said, 'I take it.' He took hold of the camel's reins and went away with it until he disappeared into the city walls. Some of us said to each other, 'Do you know who this man is?' None of us knew him, so the people started asking each other, 'Are you selling your camels to someone you do not know?' The herd of camels replied, 'Do not blame each other, for we have seen a man who will not betray you. We have not seen anyone whose face resembles the full moon on the night of the full moon.' When evening came, a man came to us and greeted us, saying, 'Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you. Are you the people who came from the mountain pass?' We replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'I am the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and he commands you to eat from these dates until you are satisfied and take as much as you can hold in your hands.' So we ate from the dates until we were satisfied and took as much as we could hold. The next day, we arrived in the city, and there was the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , standing on the pulpit, addressing the people. I heard him say, 'The hand that gives is better than the hand that takes, and start with those who rely on you the most—your mother, your father, your sister, your brother—and work your way down.' Then a man from the Ansar stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, these are the sons of Tha'laba bin Yarbu, who killed so and so during the time of ignorance. Take revenge on our behalf.' The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , raised his hands until I could see the whiteness of his armpits and said, 'A mother should not be held accountable for her child, a mother should not be held accountable for her child.' And he repeated the hadith, which was also narrated by Abu Jannab al-Kalbi from Jamee bin Shaddad."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , fought the people of Khaybar until he forced them to take refuge in their fortresses. He conquered their land, crops, and palm trees. He made a peace treaty with them, stipulating that they would evacuate the land and leave behind their belongings. As for the Messenger of Allah, his share was yellow and white goods. They left behind a hidden stash of wealth and jewelry belonging to Huyayy ibn Akhtab, which he had carried with him to Khaybar when Nadir was evacuated. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , asked Huyayy's brother Huwayy, "What did Huyayy do with the goods he brought from Nadir?" He replied, "His expenses and expenses of war consumed them." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "The treaty is near and the wealth is greater than that." So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , handed the goods to Zubayr, who punished Huwayy with a beating. Before that, Huwayy had entered a ruin and said, "I have seen Huwayy wander around this ruin." So they went and searched, and they found the goods in the ruin. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , killed Hakim's sons, one of whom was the husband of Safiyyah bint Huwayy ibn Akhtab, and he took their women and children as captives. He distributed their wealth according to the agreement they violated. They wanted to stay in the land, fix it, and settle there. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and his companions did not have young men to take care of it, and they had no time to do so. So he gave them Khaybar on the condition that they would have half of the crops and palm trees, and whatever else appeared to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . Abdullah ibn Rawahah used to come to them every year and take their share, then he would give it back to them. They complained to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , about his harsh treatment, and they wanted to bribe him. He said, "O enemies of Allah, do you want to feed me unlawful things? By Allah, I came to you from the most beloved people to me, and you are the most hateful people to me, more hateful to me than monkeys and pigs. I am not biased against you. So they said, "With this, the heavens and earth are established." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saw a green mark on Safiyyah's body and asked her, "O Safiyyah, what is this green mark?" She said, "My head was on the stone of Ibn Hakim while I was sleeping, and I saw as if a moon fell into my lap, so I told him about it and he comforted me and said, 'I wish for a kingdom in Yathrib.'" The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , disliked Hakim because he killed her husband and her father, and he kept apologizing to her, saying, "Your father forced me to treat the Arabs unjustly, and he did this and that until I got rid of him. This was not my intention." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to give each of his wives 80 measures of dates and 20 measures of barley every year. But during the time of Umar ibn Al-Khattab, they cheated the Muslims and threw Ibn Umar from the top of a house. So they called out, "Whoever has a share of Khaybar, let him come and we will divide it among them." So Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, distributed it among those who had witnessed Khaybar from the people of Hudaybiyyah.  

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَاتَلَ أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ حَتَّى أَلْجَأَهُمْ إِلَى قَصْرِهِمْ فَغَلَبَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَالزَّرْعِ وَالنَّخْلِ فَصَالَحُوهُ عَلَى أَنْ يَجْلُوا مِنْهَا وَلَهُمْ مَا حَمَلَتْ رِكَابُهُمْ وَلِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الصَّفْرَاءُ وَالْبَيْضَاءُ وَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهَا وَاشْتَرَطَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ لَا يَكْتُمُوا وَلَا يُغَيِّبُوا شَيْئًا فَإِنْ فَعَلُوا فَلَا ذِمَّةَ لَهُمْ وَلَا عَهْدَ فَغَيَّبُوا مَسْكًا فِيهِ مَالٌ وَحُلِيٌّ لِحُيِيِّ بْنِ أَخْطَبَ كَانَ احْتَمَلَهُ مَعَهُ إِلَى خَيْبَرَ حِينَ أُجْلِيَتِ النَّضِيرُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِعَمِّ حُيَيٍّ مَا فَعَلَ مَسْكُ حُيَيٍّ الَّذِي جَاءَ بِهِ مِنَ النَّضِيرِ؟ فَقَالَ أَذْهَبَتْهُ النَّفَقَاتُ وَالْحُرُوبُ فَقَالَ الْعَهْدُ قَرِيبٌ وَالْمَالُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَدَفَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الزُّبَيْرِ فَمَسَّهُ بِعَذَابٍ وَقَدْ كَانَ حُيَيٌّ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ دَخَلَ خَرِبَةً فَقَالَ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ حُيَيًّا يَطُوفُ فِي خَرِبَةٍ هَهُنَا فَذَهَبُوا وَطَافُوا فَوَجَدُوا الْمَسْكَ فِي الْخَرِبَةِ فَقَتَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ابْنَيْ حَقِيقٍ وَأَحَدُهُمَا زَوْجُ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيِيِّ بْنِ أَخْطَبَ وَسَبَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نِسَاءَهُمْ وَذَرَارِيَّهُمْ وَقَسَمَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ بِالنَّكْثِ الَّذِي نَكَثُوا وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُجْلِيَهُمْ مِنْهَا فَقَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّدُ دَعْنَا نَكُونُ فِي هَذِهِ الْأَرْضِ نُصْلِحُهَا وَنَقُومُ عَلَيْهَا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَا لِأَصْحَابِهِ غِلْمَانٌ يَقُومُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَكَانُوا لَا يَفْرُغُونَ أَنْ يَقُومُوا عَلَيْهَا فَأَعْطَاهُمْ خَيْبَرَ عَلَى أَنَّ لَهُمُ الشَّطْرَ عَنْ كُلِّ زَرْعٍ وَنَخْلٍ وَشَيْءٍ مَا بَدَا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ يَأْتِيهِمْ كُلَّ عَامٍ فَيَخْرُصُهَا عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ يُضَمِّنُهُمُ الشَّطْرَ فَشَكَوْا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ شِدَّةَ خَرْصِهِ وَأَرَادُوا أَنْ يَرْشُوهُ قَالَ يَا أَعْدَاءَ اللهِ تُطْعِمُونَِي السُّحْتَ؟ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ جِئْتُكُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَحَبِّ النَّاسِ إِلِيَّ وَلَأَنْتُمْ أَبْغَضُ إِلِيَّ مِنْ عِدَّتِكُمْ مِنَ الْقِرَدَةِ وَالْخَنَازِيرِ وَلَا يَحْمِلُنِي بُغْضِي إِيَّاكُمْ وَحُبِّي إِيَّاهُ عَلَى أَنْ لَا أَعْدِلَ بَيْنَكُمْ فَقَالُوا بِهَذَا قَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ قَالَ وَرَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَيْنِ صَفِيَّةَ خُضْرَةً فَقَالَ يَا صَفِيَّةُ مَا هَذِهِ الْخُضْرَةُ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ رَأْسِي فِي حِجْرِ ابْنِ حَقِيقٍ وَأَنَا نَائِمَةٌ فَرَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ قَمَرًا وَقَعَ فِي حِجْرِي فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِذَلِكَ فَلَطَمَنِي وَقَالَ تَمَنَّيْنَ مَلِكَ يَثْرِبَ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَبْغَضِ النَّاسِ إِلِيَّ قَتَلَ زَوْجِي وَأَبِي فَمَازَالَ يَعْتَذِرُ إِلِيَّ وَيَقُولُ إِنَّ أَبَاكِ أَلَّبَ عَلَيَّ الْعَرَبَ وَفَعَلَ وَفَعَلَ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ نَفْسِي وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي كُلَّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ ثَمَانِينَ وَسْقًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ كُلَّ عَامٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَسْقًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ زَمَنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ غَشُّوا الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَأَلْقَوَا ابْنَ عُمَرَ مِنْ فَوْقِ بَيْتٍ فَفَدَعُوا يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ سَهْمٌ مِنْ خَيْبَرَ فَلْيَحْضُرْ حَتَّى نَقْسِمَهَا بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَسَمَهَا بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَالَ رَئِيسُهُمْ لَا تُخْرِجْنَا دَعْنَا نَكُونُ فِيهَا كَمَا أَقَرَّنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ لِرَئِيسِهِمْ أَتُرَاهُ سَقَطَ عَنِّي قَوْلُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَيْفَ بِكَ إِذَا رَقَصَتْ بِكَ رَاحِلَتُكَ نَحْوَ الشَّامِ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ يَوْمًا وَقَسَمَهَا عُمَرُ ؓ بَيْنَ مَنْ كَانَ شَهِدَ خَيْبَرَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ  

[Machine] It is reported that the Ansar went against us and gathered with their families in the Saqifah of Bani Sa'ida. Ali and Zubair also went against us and those who were with them. The Muhajireen gathered with Abu Bakr. So I said to Abu Bakr, "O Abu Bakr, come with us to our brothers from the Ansar." So we departed with the intention of meeting them. When we approached them, we met two righteous men from among them. They mentioned what the people had been saying about them. We told them that we wanted our brothers from the Ansar. They said to us, "It is not upon you to come near them. Deal with your own affairs." So I said, "By Allah, we will approach them." So we went until we reached them in the Saqifah of Bani Sa'ida. There, we saw a man wrapped in a garment between them. I asked, "Who is this?" They said, "This is Sa'ad bin Ubadah." I asked, "What is wrong with him?" They said, "He is sick." When we sat for a while, their speaker praised Allah and then mentioned their status. He said, "We are the Ansar of Allah and the battalion of Islam, and you are the Muhajireen. We are a group from us and there is a remnant from your people who have opposed us, trying to diminish our status and take the authority from us." Then when he remained silent, I intended to speak and I had prepared a speech that I found impressive, which I wanted to present to Abu Bakr. I even faked my speech in front of him, but I avoided mentioning the matter. Then Abu Bakr said, "Speak upon your mission." I hated that he said that and I feared becoming angry and that he would speak before me. Abu Bakr was more patient and respectful. By Allah, he did not leave any word that I found impressive in my false speech except that he said something similar or better than it. Until he remained silent. I said, "You have mentioned nothing but good, and you are deserving of it. We would not have known of this matter if it were not for this noble person from the Quraysh, who are the middle of the Arabs in lineage, wealth, and status. I am pleased with one of these two men, so pledge to either of them as you wish." I extended my hand, and Abu Bakr extended his hand, as did Abu Ubaydah bin Jarrah, who was sitting between us. I would not have disliked anything he said except that it was not in favor of me, apart from this, by Allah, even if he had slapped my neck, I would not have been closer to committing a sin than I am now. I prefer it to commanding a people in whom Abu Bakr is not their leader, O Allah, unless you make my soul understand at the time of my death something that I do not understand now." Then a speaker among the Ansar said, "I am their representative, Al-Muhakkak, and their spokesperson, Al-Murajjab. From us is an Amir and from you is an Amir, O people of Quraish." The noise increased and the voices raised until I feared disagreement. So I said, "Extend your hand, O Abu Bakr." So Abu Bakr extended his hand and I pledged allegiance to him. The Muhajireen pledged allegiance to him, and then the Ansar pledged allegiance to him.

[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."

"عَنِ ابن عباس، قال: قال عمرُ بن الخطاب: إنه كان مِنْ خَبرِنَا حيث تَوفَّى اللَّه نبيه ﷺ أن الأنصار خالفونا، واجتمعوا بأسْرِهم في سَقيفةِ بنى ساعدة، وخالف عنا علىٌّ والزبيرُ ومن مَعَهُما، واجتمعَ المهاجرون إلى أَبى بكرٍ، فقلت لأبى بكر: يا أبا بكر: انطلق بنا إلى إخواننا هؤلاء من الأنصار، فانطلقنا نريدهم، فلما دَنَوْنَا منهم لَقِينَا منهم رجلان صالحان فذكرا ما تمالأ عليه القوم، فقال: أين تريدونَ يا معشر المهاجرين؟ فقلنا: نرجو إخواننا من الأنصار، فقالا: لا عليكم أن لا تقربوهم، اقْضُوا أمركم، فقلت: واللَّه لنأتينهم، فانطلقنا حتى أتيناهم في سقيفة بنى ساعدة فإذا رَجُلٌ مُزَمَّل (*) بين ظهرانيهم، فَقُلْتُ: من هذا؟ قالوا: سعدُ بن عبادة، فقلت: ما له؟ قالوا: يَوْعَكُ، فلما جلسنا قليلًا تَشهَّدَ خطيبهم فأثنى على اللَّهِ بِما هُو أَهْلُهُ، ثم قال: أما بعدُ، فنحن أنصارُ اللَّهِ وَكَتِيبَةُ الإسلام، وأنتم مَعْشَرَ المهاجرين رهطٌ مِنَّا وقد دَفَّتْ دَافَّةٌ من قوْمِكم فإذا هم يريدون أن يختزلونا مِنْ أَصْلِنَا وأنْ يَخضُنُونا من هذا الأمر، فلما سكت أردت أن أتكلم، وكلنتُ زَوَرْتُ مقالةً أعجبتنى أريدُ أن أقدمَها بين يدى أَبى بكر، وكنت أدارى منه بعض الحِدَّة، فلما أردت أن أتكلم، قال أبو بكر: على رسلك فكرهت أن أغضبه، فتكلم فكان هوَ أعْلَمَ مِنِّى وَأَوْفَرَ، واللَّه ما ترك من كلمة أعجبتنى في تزويرى إلا قال في بديهته مِثْلَهَا وأفضل منها حتى سكت، قال: ما ذكرتم من خيرٍ فأنتم لَهُ أَهْلٌ، ولَنْ نَعْرفَ هذا الأمر إلا لهذا الحى من قريش، هُمْ أوسطُ العرب نَسَبًا وَدَارًا، وقد رَضِيتُ لكم أحدَ هذين الرجلين، فَبَايعُوا أَيَّهُمَا شِئْتُم، وأخذ بيدى وبيد أَبى عبيدة بن الجراح وهو جالس بيننا، فلم أكره مما قال غيرها، كان واللَّه أُقَدَّمَ فَيَضْرِبَ عُنُقى يقرينى ذَلِكَ مِنْ إِثْمٍ أحبَّ إلىّ من أن أَتَامَّرَ على قوم فيهم أبو بكر، اللهم إلا أن تُسَوِّلَ لِى نفسى عند الموت شَيْئًا لا أَجِدُهُ الآن، فقال قائل الأنصار: أَنَا جُذَيْلُها المُحَكَّكُ، وعُذَيْقُهَا المرجَّبُ، منا أمير ومنكم أمير يا معشرَ قريش، وكثر اللغط، وارتفعت الأصواتُ حتَّى فَرِقْتُ من أن يقع اختلافٌ، فقلت: ابسطْ يدَكَ يا أبا بكرٍ، فبسط يَدَهُ فبايَعْتُهُ وبايعه المهاجرون، ثُمَّ بايَعَهُ الأنصار وَنَزَوْنَا على سعد بن عبادةَ، فقال قائل منهم: قَتَلْتُم سَعْدًا فَقُلْتُ: قَتَلَ اللَّه سَعْدًا أمَا واللَّه ما وجدنا فيما حضرنا أمرا هو أوفَقُ من مبايعة أَبى بكر، خَشِينا إِنْ فارقنا القوم ولَمْ تَكُنْ بَيْعَةٌ أن يُحْدِثُوا بَعْدَنا بيعةً، فإما أن نُتَابعَهم على ما لا نرضى، وإما أن نخالفهمْ فَيكُونَ فِيهِ فسادٌ، فمن بايع أَميرًا من غير مشورة المسلمين فلا بيعةَ لَهُ، ولا بيعةَ لِلَّذِى بَايعَهُ تَغِرَّةَ أن يُقْتَلا".

"خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بِالْهَاجِرَةِ فَصَلَّى، ثُمَّ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَقَامَ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ: اجْلِسُوا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَإِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا قُمْتُ مُقَامِي هَذَا لأَمْرٍ يَنْقُصُكُمْ لِرَغْبَةٍ وَلَا لِرَهْبَةٍ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فِي سَاعَةٍ لَمْ يَصْعَدْ فِيهَا، وَلَكِنَّ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِي أَتَانِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي خَبَرًا [مَنَعَنِي القَيْلُولَةَ] مِنَ الْفَرَحِ وَقُرَّةِ الْعَيْنِ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أُبَشِّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَرَحَ نَبِيِّكُّمْ، أَلا إِنَّ تَمِيمًا أَخْبَرنِي أَنَّ رَهْطًا مِنْ بَنِي عَمِّهِ رَكِبُوا البَحْرَ فَأَصَابهُمْ عَاصِفٌ مِنْ رِيحٍ أَلْجَأَتْهُم إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ لَا يَعْرِفُونَهَا، فَقَعَدُوا فِي قَوَارِبِ السَّفِينَةِ حَتَّى خَرَجُوا إِلَى الْجَزِيرَةِ، فَإِذَا هُمْ بشيء أَسْوَدَ أَهْلَبَ كَثيرِ الشَّعَرِ لَا يَدْرُونَ هُوَ رَجُلٌ أَوِ امْرَأَةٌ، قَالُوا لَهُ: مَا أَنْتَ؟ قَالَتْ: أَنَا الْجَسَّاسَةُ، قَالُوا: أَخْبِرينَا [مَا أَنْت؟ ]، قَالَتْ: مَا أَنَا بِمُخْبِرَتِكُمْ شَيئًا وَلَا سَائِلَتِكُمْ، وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا الدَّيرَ قَدْ رَمَقْتُمُوُهُ فَأتُوهُ فَإِنَّ فيه رَجُلًا بِالأَشْوَاقِ إِلَى أَنْ تُخْبِرُوهُ بِخَبَرِكُمْ، فَانْطَلَقُوا حَتَى أتوا الدَّير فَاسْتَأذَنُوا فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَدَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِشيخٍ مُوثَقٍ شَدِيد الوثَاقِ يُظْهِرُ الْحُزْنَ، شَدِيد [التَّشَكِّي] فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمْ؟ قَالُوا: مِنَ الشَّامِ، فَسَلَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامَ، قَالَ: مَمَّنْ أَنْتُمْ؟ قَالُوا: مِنَ الْعَرَبِ، قَالَ: مَا فَعَلَتِ الْعَرَبُ؟ خَرَجَ نَبِيُّهُمْ بَعْدُ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: مَا فَعَلَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي خَرَجَ فِيكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: خَيْرًا، نَاوَأَهُ قَوْمُهُ [دينَهُ] فَأَظْهَرَهُ الله - تَعَالَى- عَلَيْهم فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوا [اللهَ] منهُمُ الْيَوْمَ جَمِيعٌ إِلَهُهُمْ وَاحِدٌ، وَدِينُهُمْ وَاحِدٌ، قَالَ: ذَاكَ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ قَالَ: مَا فَعَلَتْ عَيْنُ زُغَرَ؟ قَالُوا: خَيْرًا يَسْقُونَ فِيهَا زُرُوعَهُمْ، وَيَسْقُونَ مِنْهَا لِسَقْيِهمْ، قَالَ: مَا فَعَلَ [نَخْلٌ] بَيْنَ عَمَّانَ وَبَيْسَانَ؟ قَالُوا: يُطْعِمُ [ثَمَرَةُ] كُلَّ عَامٍ، قَالَ: مَا فَعَلَتْ بُحَيْرَةُ الطّبَرَّيةِ قَالُوا: مَلأَى تَدَفَّق جَنَبَاتُهَا مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الْمَاءِ، فَزَفَرَ ثَلَاثَ زَفَرَاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَو انْفَلَتُّ مِنْ وَثَاقِي هَذَا لَمْ أَدَعْ أَرْضًا إِلّا وَطِئْتُهَا بِرِجْلَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ إِلا طِيْبَةَ لَيْسَ لِيَ عَلَيْهَا سَبِيلٌ وَلَا سُلْطَانٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ : إِلَى هَذَا انْتَهَى فَرَحِي، هَذِهِ طِيْبَةُ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ هَذِهِ طِيْبَةُ، وَلَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللهُ - تَعَالَى- حَرَمِي عَلَى الدَّجَّالِ أَنْ يَدْخُلَهُ، ثُمَّ حَلَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا فِيهَا طَرِيقٌ [ضَيِّقٌ] وَلَا وَاسِعٌ، وَلَا سَهْلٌ وَلَا جَبَلٌ، إِلا وَعَلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ شَاهِرٌ سَيْفَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، مَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الدَّجَّالُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا عَلَى أَهْلِهَا، قَالَ مُجَالِدٌ: فَأخْبَرنَي عَامِرٌ قَالَ: ذَكَرْت هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ لِلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، فَقَالَ الْقَاسِمُ: أَشْهَدُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ لَحَدَّثَتَنْي هَذَا الْحدِيثَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: الْحَرَمَانِ عَلَيْهِ حَرَامٌ: مَكَّةُ وَالْمَدِينَةُ، قَالَ عَامِرٌ: فَلَقِيتُ الْمُحْرِزَ بْنَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ حَدِيث فَاطِمَةَ [فقال]: أَشْهَدُ عَلَى أَبِي أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي كَمَا حَدَّثَتْكَ فَاطِمَةُ، مَا نَقَصَ حَرْفًا وَاحِدًا غَيْرَ أَنَّ أَبِي زَادَ فِيهِ بَابًا وَاحِدًا، قَالَ: فَخَطَّ النَّبيُّ ﷺ بِيَدهِ نَحْوَ الْمَشْرِقِ مَا هُوَ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ نَحْوِ عِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً".
