The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us in a detachment and said (to us): If you see a mosque or hear a mu'adhdhin (calling to prayer), do not kill anyone. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2635)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً قَالَ «إِنْ رَأَيْتُمْ مَسْجِدًا أَوْ سَمِعْتُمْ مُؤَذِّنًا فَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَحَدًا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent out a military expedition, and I was among them. He said, "If you encounter so-and-so and so-and-so, burn them with fire." When the Prophet ﷺ bid us farewell, he said, "I had commanded you to burn them with fire, but it is not appropriate to punish with the punishment of Allah. So, if you encounter them, kill them."  

بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَرِيَّةً وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ قَالَ «إِنْ لَقِيتُمْ فُلَانًا وَفُلَانًا فَحَرِّقُوهُمَا بِالنَّارِ» فَلَمَّا وَدَّعَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَمَرْتُكُمْ أَنْ تُحَرِّقُوهُمَا بِالنَّارِ وَإِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُعَذِّبَ بِعَذَابِ اللهِ فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمَا فَاقْتُلُوهُمَا»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Allah, bless my Ummah in its early mornings.' And when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would send out a military expedition, he would send them out at the beginning of the day."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لِأُمَّتِي فِي بُكُورِهَا» وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً بَعَثَهُمْ أَوَّلَ النَّهَارِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered a covert mission to be conducted. They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, should we leave tonight or stay until morning?" He replied, "Don't you want to spend the night in one of the gardens of paradise? And the garden is the oasis."  

أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِسَرِيَّةٍ تَخْرُجُ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَخْرُجُ اللَّيْلَةَ أَمْ نَمْكُثُ حَتَّى نُصْبِحَ قَالَ «أَوَ لَا تُحِبُّونَ يَعْنِي أَنْ تَبِيتُوا فِي خِرَافٍ مِنْ خِرَافِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ والْخِرَافُ الْحَدِيقَةُ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "If it were not difficult for my Ummah, I would have loved to never miss out on a secret mission carried out in the cause of Allah. However, I cannot find what I can bear for them, and they cannot find what they can bear for themselves. It burdens them to be left behind after me. If only I could fight in the cause of Allah, be killed, then revived, and be killed again, and revived, and be killed again, and revived."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ لَا أَتَخَلَّفَ عَنْ سَرِيَّةٍ تَخْرُجُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَلَكِنْ لَا أَجِدُ مَا أَحْمِلُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَلَا يَجِدُونَ مَا يَتَحَمَّلُونَ عَلَيْهِ وَيَشُقُّ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّفُوا بَعْدِي فَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي أُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَأُقْتَلُ ثُمَّ أَحْيَا فَأُقْتَلُ ثُمَّ أَحْيَا فَأُقْتَلُ ثُمَّ أَحْيَا فَأُقْتَلُ»  

[Machine] I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a narration that if I were to narrate it one day, I would narrate it today. We were on an expedition with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Tabuk. He sent Khalid ibn Al-Walid with forty riders to Ibn Dumaah Al-Jandal. He said, "If you are able to capture him, then capture him and do not kill him. But if you are unable to capture him, then kill him." They arrived at his fortress and his family said, "He has not left for two months prior to today." They found him hunting, and they were unable to capture him, so they killed him. They brought his armor made of Deebaj to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and his companions were amazed by it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Are you amazed by this? The handkerchiefs of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh are softer than it in Paradise."  

سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا لَوْ حَدَّثْتُ بِهِ يَوْمًا مِنَ الدَّهْرِ لَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ الْيَوْمَ غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تَبُوكَ فَبَعَثَ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ فِي أَرْبَعِينَ رَاكِبًا إِلَى ابْنِ دُومَةَ الْجَنْدَلِ» فَقَالَ «إِنَّ قَدَرْتُمْ عَلَى أَخْذِهِ فَخُذُوهُ وَلَا تَقْتُلُوهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَقْدِرُوا عَلَى أَخْذِهِ فَاقْتُلُوهُ» فَجَاءُوا قَصْرَهُ فَقَالَ أَهْلُهٌ مَا خَرَجَ مُنْذُ شَهْرَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْيَوْمِ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ يَرْمِي الصَّيْدَ فَلَمْ نَقْدِرْ عَلَى أَخْذِهِ فَقَتَلْنَاهُ فَجَاءُوا بِمُدَرَّعَةٍ كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ دِيبَاجٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ أَصْحَابُهُ يَعْجَبُونَ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ «أَتَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ هَذِهِ؟ لَمَنَادِيلُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ أَلْيَنُ مِنْهَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us in a military detachment and said: ‘Go in the Name of Allah, and in the cause of Allah. Fight those who disbelieve in Allah. Do not mutilate, do not be treacherous, do not steal from the spoils of war, and do not kill children.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2857)   

بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَقَالَ «سِيرُوا بِاسْمِ اللهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ تُقَاتِلُونَ عَدُوَّ اللهِ وَلَا تَغُلُّوا وَلَا تَغْدِرُوا وَلَا تُمَثِّلُوا وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا وَلِيدًا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say to his army or expedition, "When you see a mosque or hear a call to prayer, do not kill anyone." So the Prophet ﷺ sent us on an expedition and commanded us with that. We set out and traveled through the land of Tihamah. We came across a man driving his sheep, so we presented Islam to him and said, "Are you a Muslim?" He replied, "What is Islam?" We informed him of it, but he did not recognize it. He asked, "If I don't accept Islam, what will you do?" We said, "We will kill you." He asked, "Are you waiting for me to reach my sheep?" We replied, "Yes, we are waiting for you, and we will catch up to you." So, he left and approached a woman who was in her hut and said, "Embrace Islam, Hubaysh, before the means of sustenance are cut off. Embrace Islam nine or eight times in succession, then he said, "Do you remember when I passed by you and found you adorned or when I came to you with false pretenses? Wasn't it right for a lover to go to extremes to enter secret and hidden places even if I am not guilty?" I said, "When we were together, we traveled together, and I embraced you with affection before parting ways. Then the leader is separated from the beloved one, and he approached us and said, "What is your condition? We have killed him, and the other fell on him from her hut, grieving for him until she died."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا بَعَثَ جَيْشًا أَوْ سَرِيَّةً قَالَ لَهُمْ «إِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مَسْجِدًا أَوْ سَمِعْتُمْ مُؤَذِّنًا فَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَحَدًا فَبَعَثَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي سَرِيَّةً فَأَمَرَنَا بِذَلِكَ فَخَرَجْنَا نَسِيرُ فِي أَرْضِ تِهَامَةَ فَأَدْرَكْنَا رَجُلًا يَسُوقُ ظَعَائِنَ فَعَرَضْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْإِسْلَامَ فَقُلْنَا أَمُسْلِمٌ أَنْتَ» فَقَالَ «وَمَا الْإِسْلَامُ؟ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ لَا يَعْرِفُهُ» قَالَ «فَإِنْ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ فَمَا أَنْتُمْ صَانِعُونَ؟» قُلْنَا «نَقْتُلُكَ» قَالَ «فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُنْتَظِرِيَّ حَتَّى أُدْرِكَ الظَّعَائِنَ؟» قُلْنَا نَعَمْ وَنَحْنُ مُدْرِكُوكَ فَخَرَجَ فَأَتَى امْرَأَةً وَهِيَ فِي هَوْدَجِهَا فَقَالَ أَسْلِمِي حُبَيْشُ قَبْلَ انْقِطَاعِ الْعَيْشِ أَسْلِمِي عَشْرًا وَثَمَانِيًا تَتْرَى وَتِسْعًا وِتْرًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَتَذْكُرْنَ إِذْ طَالَعْتُكُمْ فَوَجَدْتُكُمْ بِحِلْيَةٍ أَوْ أَدْرَكْتُكُمْ بِالْخَوَانِقِ أَلَمْ يَكُ حَقًّا أَنْ يَنُولَ عَاشِقٌ تَكَلَّفَ إِدْلَاجَ السُّرَى وَالْوَدَائِقِ فَلَا ذَنْبَ لِي قَدْ» قُلْتُ إِذْ أَهَلْنَا مَعًا أَثِيبِي بِوَصْلٍ قَبْلَ إِحْدَى الصَّفَائِقِ أَثِيبِي بِوَصْلٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَشْحَطَ النَّوَى وَيَنْأَى الْأَمِيرُ بِالْحَبِيبِ الْمُفَارِقِ ثُمَّ أَتَانَا فَقَالَ «شَأْنُكُمْ فَقَدَّمْنَاهُ فَضَرَبْنَا عُنُقَهُ فَنَزَلَتِ الْأُخْرَى عَلَيْهِ مِنْ هَوْدَجِهَا فَحَنَتْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a Sariya of ten men as spies under the leadership of ʿAsim bin Thabit al-Ansari, the grandfather of ʿAsim bin ʿUmar Al-Khattab. They proceeded till they reached Hadaa, a place between 'Usfan, and Mecca, and their news reached a branch of the tribe of Hudhail called Bani Lihyan. About two-hundred men, who were all archers, hurried to follow their tracks till they found the place where they had eaten dates they had brought with them from Medina. They said, "These are the dates of Yathrib (i.e. Medina), "and continued following their tracks When ʿAsim and his companions saw their pursuers, they went up a high place and the infidels circled them. The infidels said to them, "Come down and surrender, and we promise and guarantee you that we will not kill any one of you" ʿAsim bin Thabit; the leader of the Sariya said, "By Allah! I will not come down to be under the protection of infidels. O Allah! Convey our news to Your Prophet. Then the infidels threw arrows at them till they martyred ʿAsim along with six other men, and three men came down accepting their promise and convention, and they were Khubaib-al-Ansari and Ibn Dathina and another man So, when the infidels captured them, they undid the strings of their bows and tied them. Then the third (of the captives) said, "This is the first betrayal. By Allah! I will not go with you. No doubt these, namely the martyred, have set a good example to us." So, they dragged him and tried to compel him to accompany them, but as he refused, they killed him. They took Khubaid and Ibn Dathina with them and sold them (as slaves) in Mecca (and all that took place) after the battle of Badr. Khubaib was bought by the sons of Al-Harith bin 'Amir bin Naufal bin ʿAbd Manaf. It was Khubaib who had killed Al-Harith bin 'Amir on the day (of the battle of) Badr. So, Khubaib remained a prisoner with those people. Narrated Az-Zuhri: 'Ubaidullah bin 'Iyyad said that the daughter of Al-Harith had told him, "When those people gathered (to kill Khubaib) he borrowed a razor from me to shave his pubes and I gave it to him. Then he took a son of mine while I was unaware when he came upon him. I saw him placing my son on his thigh and the razor was in his hand. I got scared so much that Khubaib noticed the agitation on my face and said, 'Are you afraid that I will kill him? No, I will never do so.' By Allah, I never saw a prisoner better than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I saw him eating of a bunch of grapes in his hand while he was chained in irons, and there was no fruit at that time in Mecca." The daughter of Al-Harith used to say, "It was a boon Allah bestowed upon Khubaib." When they took him out of the Sanctuary (of Mecca) to kill him outside its boundaries, Khubaib requested them to let him offer two rakʿat (prayer). They allowed him and he offered Two rakʿat and then said, "Hadn't I been afraid that you would think that I was afraid (of being killed), I would have prolonged the prayer. O Allah, kill them all with no exception." (He then recited the poetic verse):-- "I being martyred as a Muslim, Do not mind how I am killed in Allah's Cause, For my killing is for Allah's Sake, And if Allah wishes, He will bless the amputated parts of a torn body" Then the son of Al Harith killed him. So, it was Khubaib who set the tradition for any Muslim sentenced to death in captivity, to offer a two-rakʿat prayer (before being killed). Allah fulfilled the invocation of ʿAsim bin Thabit on that very day on which he was martyred. The Prophet ﷺ informed his companions of their news and what had happened to them. Later on when some infidels from Quraish were informed that ʿAsim had been killed, they sent some people to fetch a part of his body (i.e. his head) by which he would be recognized. (That was because) ʿAsim had killed one of their chiefs on the day (of the battle) of Badr. So, a swarm of wasps, resembling a shady cloud, were sent to hover over ʿAsim and protect him from their messenger and thus they could not cut off anything from his flesh. (Using translation from Bukhārī 3045)

[Machine] Narrated by Al-Miswar ibn Makhramah and Marwan ibn Al-Hakam: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out during the time of Al-Hudaybiyah with around 1,400 of his companions. When they reached Thul-Hulayfah, the Prophet ﷺ performed the rites of Hajj, donned the Ihram and performed the Umrah. He then sent ahead a scout from the tribe of Khuzayah to gather information about the Quraysh. The Prophet ﷺ continued his journey until he was near Ghadeer Al-Ash'at, close to Usfan. The scout from Khuzayah approached him and said, "I left Ka'b ibn Lu'ay and 'Amir ibn Lu'ayy, who have gathered a group of your enemies to fight against you and prevent you from entering Makkah. O Messenger of Allah, should I inform them that you are nearing them?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "If they sit down, they are as good as dead. If they escape, they shall be doomed." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Do you think that if I attacked the Ka'bah, those who prevented us from reaching it would have survived?" Abu Bakr said to the Prophet ﷺ , "Allah and His Messenger have the best knowledge. O Messenger of Allah, we only came here to perform 'Umrah and did not come for battle. However, if anyone comes between us and the Ka'bah, we will fight against them." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then proceed." (This incident is summarized)  

عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ وَمَرْوَانِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ قَالَا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فِي بِضْعِ عَشْرَةَ مِائَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ قَلَّدَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْهَدْيَ وَأَشْعَرَ وَأَحْرَمَ بِالْعُمْرَةِ وَبَعَثَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ عَيْنَا لَهُ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ يُخْبِرُهُ عَنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَسَارَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِغَدِيرِ الْأَشْطَاطِ قَرِيبًا مِنْ عُسْفَانَ أَتَاهُ عَيْنُهُ الْخُزَاعِيُّ فَقَالَ إِنِّي تَرَكْتُ كَعْبَ بْنَ لُؤَيٍّ وَعَامِرَ بْنَ لُؤَيٍّ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكَ الْأَحَابِيشَ وَجَمَعُوا لَكَ جُمُوعًا وَهُمْ مُقَاتِلُوكَ وَصَادُّوكَ عَنِ الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَشِيرُوا عَلَيَّ أَتَرَوْنَ بِأَنْ أَمِيلَ إِلَى ذَرَارِيِّ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ أَعَانُوهُمْ فَنُصِيبَهُمْ؟ فَإِنْ قَعَدُوا قَعَدُوا مَوْتُورِينَ وَإِنْ نَجَوْا يَكُونُوا عُنُقًا قَطَعَهَا اللهُ أَمْ تَرَوْنَ أَنْ أَؤُمَّ الْبَيْتَ فَمَنْ صَدَّنَا عَنْهُ قَاتَلْنَاهُ؟» فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنَّمَا جِئْنَا مُعْتَمِرِينَ وَلَمْ نَأْتِ لِقِتَالِ أَحَدٍ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ حَالَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ الْبَيْتِ قَاتَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «فَتَرَوَّحُوا إِذًا» مُخْتَصَرٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Whoever brings us news of the people?" Al-Zubair said, "I do." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Indeed, every prophet has disciples, and the disciple of the Prophet is Al-Zubair."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ يَأْتِينَا بِخَبَرِ الْقَوْمِ» قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ أَنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ حَوَارِيًّا وَحَوَارِيَّ الزُّبَيْرُ»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the day of the trench, "Whoever will bring us news about Banu Qurayzah?" Az-Zubair said, "I will." So, he went on his horse and brought their news. Then, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Every Prophet has disciples, and Az-Zubair is my disciple."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ مَنْ رَجُلٌ يَأْتِينَا بِخَبَرِ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ أَنَا فَذَهَبَ عَلَى فَرَسِهِ فَجَاءَ بِخَبَرِهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ أَنَا فَذَهَبَ ثُمَّ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ حَوَارِيٌّ وَحَوَارِيَّ الزُّبَيْرُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever brings us their news." No one went, so Zubayr went and brought their news. Then the situation became more severe, so the Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever brings us their news." No one went, so Zubayr went. Then the situation became even more severe, so the Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever brings us their news." No one went, so Zubayr went and brought their news. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, every Prophet has disciples, and Zubayr is my disciple."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ يَأْتِينَا بِخَبَرِهِمْ» فَلَمْ يَذْهَبْ أَحَدٌ فَذَهَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ فَجَاءَ بِخَبَرِهِمْ ثُمَّ اشْتَدَّ الْأَمْرُ أَيْضًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَنْ يَأْتِينَا بِخَبَرِهِمْ» فَلَمْ يَذْهَبْ أَحَدٌ فَذَهَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ ثُمَّ اشْتَدَّ الْأَمْرُ أَيْضًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ يَأْتِينَا بِخَبَرِهِمْ فَلَمْ يَذْهَبْ أَحَدٌ فَذَهَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ فَجَاءَ بِخَبَرِهِمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ حَوَارِيًّا وَإِنَّ الزُّبَيْرَ حَوَارِيَّ»  

[Machine] An eye from the polytheists came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was descending. When he tasted the lust, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Kill the man, for he initiated it." He said, "And my father used to surpass the horse vigorously. So, he surpassed them and reached him, and he took hold of the reins of his mount and killed him. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ distributed his belongings."  

جَاءَ عَيْنٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ نَازِلٌ فَلَمَّا طَعِمَ انْسَلَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «عَلَيَّ الرَّجُلُ اقْتُلُوهُ فَابْتَدَرَهُ الْقَوْمُ» قَالَ «وَكَانَ أَبِي يَسْبِقُ الْفَرَسَ شَدًّا فَسَبَقَهُمْ إِلَيْهِ فَأَخَذَهُ بِخِطَامِ رَاحِلَتِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَنَفَّلَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَلَبَهُ»  

[Machine] He informed him that the Messenger of Allah wrote to Caesar, inviting him to Islam, and sent his letter with Dihyah al-Kalbi. The Messenger of Allah commanded him to deliver it to 'Azim Busr to deliver it to Caesar. 'Azim Busr delivered it to Caesar. When Allah revealed his victory over the Persian army, Caesar walked from Hims to Iliya in gratitude to Allah. When the letter of the Messenger of Allah reached Caesar, he said when he read it, "Is there anyone from his people here who can ask him about the Messenger of Allah?"  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَتَبَ إِلَى قَيْصَرَ يَدْعُوهُ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَبَعَثَ بِكِتَابِهِ مَعَ دِحْيَةَ الْكَلْبِيِّ وَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَدْفَعَهُ إِلَى عَظِيمِ بُصْرَى لِيَدْفَعَهُ إِلَى قَيْصَرَ فَدَفَعَهُ عَظِيمُ بُصْرَى إِلَى قَيْصَرَ وَكَانَ قَيْصَرُ لَمَّا كَشَفَ اللهُ عَنْهُ جُنُودَ فَارِسَ مَشَى مِنْ حِمْصَ إِلَى إِيلِيَاءَ شُكْرًا لَمَّا أَبْلَاهُ اللهُ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ قَيْصَرَ كِتَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ حِينَ قَرَأَهُ «الْتَمِسُوا هَلْ هَاهُنَا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ لِيَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ » مُخْتَصَرٌ  

[Machine] About the book of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Kisra, Ibn Shihab reported that Ubaidullah ibn Abdullah informed him that Abdullah ibn Abbas informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent his book to Kisra and ordered him to deliver it to the ruler of Bahrain. So, the ruler of Bahrain delivered it to Kisra, but when Kisra read it, he tore it apart.  

عَنْ كِتَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى كِسْرَى قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ بِكِتَابِهِ إِلَى كِسْرَى وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَدْفَعَهُ إِلَى عَظِيمِ الْبَحْرَيْنِ فَدَفَعَهُ عَظِيمُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ إِلَى كِسْرَى فَلَمَّا قَرَأَهُ كِسْرَى مَزَّقَهُ  

"Before he died, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had written to Kisra, Ceasar, An-Najashi, and to every tyrant calling them to Allah. This An-Najashi is not the one that the Prophet ﷺ performed to the funeral Salat for." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2716)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَتَبَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ إِلَى كِسْرَى وَإِلَى قَيْصَرَ وَإِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ وَإِلَى كُلِّ جُبَارٍ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللهِ تَعَالَى لَيْسَ النَّجَاشِيُّ الَّذِي صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ  

"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] wanted to write to the Romans, but they (the Companions) said: 'They do not read any letter unless it has a seal.' So he took a ring of silver, and it is as if I can see its whiteness on his hand, and on it were engraved (the words): "Muhammad Rasul Allah (Muhammad the Messenger of Allah)." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5201)  

أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ كِتَابًا إِلَى الرُّومِ فَقَالُوا «إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَقْرَءُونَ كِتَابًا إِلَّا مَخْتُومًا فَاتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَيَاضِهِ فِي يَدِهِ وَنَقَشَ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: A single rider is a devil, and a pair of riders are a pair of devils, but three are a company of riders. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2607)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الرَّاكِبُ شَيْطَانٌ وَالرَّاكِبَانِ شَيْطَانَانِ وَالثَّلَاثَةُ رَكْبٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If people knew the blessings of solitude, no traveler would ever journey by night."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ يَعْلَمُ النَّاسُ مَا فِي الْوَحْدَةِ مَا سَارَ رَاكِبٌ بِلَيْلٍ أَبَدًا»  

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If the people knew what I know about being alone, then a rider would not journey at night." - meaning alone. (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1673)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْ يَعْلَمُ النَّاسُ مِنَ الْوَحْدَةِ مَا أَعْلَمُ مَا سَارَ رَاكِبٌ وَحْدَهُ بِلَيْلٍ»  

as above (Hadith No. 158). Narrated Jabir bin ʿAbdullah: That he participated in a Ghazwa (Holy-Battle) in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Midday came upon them while they were in a valley having many thorny trees. The people dispersed to rest in the shade of the trees. The Prophet ﷺ rested under a tree, hung his sword on it, and then slept. Then he woke up to find near to him, a man whose presence he had not noticed before. The Prophet ﷺ said, "This (man) took my sword (out of its scabbard) and said, 'Who will save you from me.' I replied, 'Allah.' So, he put the sword back into its scabbard, and you see him sitting here." Anyhow, the Prophet ﷺ did not punish him. (See Hadith No. 158) (Using translation from Bukhārī 2913)   

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ غَزَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غَزْوَةً قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ فَأَدْرَكَتْهُمُ الْقَائِلَةُ يَوْمًا فِي وَادٍ كَثِيرِ الْعِضَاهِ فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَتَفَرَّقَ النَّاسُ فِي الْعِضَاهِ يَسْتَظِلُّونَ بِالشَّجَرِ وَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ فَعَلَّقَ بِهَا سَيْفِهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِرَجُلٍ عِنْدَهُ «إِنَّ هَذَا اخْتَرَطَ سَيْفِي وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَهُوَ فِي يَدِهِ صَلْتًا» فَقَالَ لِي «مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟» فَقُلْتُ «اللهُ» فَقَالَ لِي «مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟» فَقُلْتُ «اللهُ فَشَامَ السَّيْفَ وَجَلَسَ وَهُوَ ذَا جَالِسٌ ثُمَّ لَمْ يُعَاقِبْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ»  

[Machine] I heard Abdullah ibn Mas'ud say, "We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the time of Hudaybiyah. They mentioned that they camped on a sandy plain. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Who will keep watch over us?' Bilal said, 'I will, O Messenger of Allah.' So they slept until the sun rose, and some of them woke up, including so-and-so and so-and-so, and among them was Umar. The Prophet ﷺ woke up and said, 'Do as you used to do.' So we did. He said, 'Do the same for those who are sleeping or forgetful.' The camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ excelled, so I went to look for it and found its rope hanging from a tree. I brought it, and he mounted it, and we set off. When revelation descended upon him, it intensified this experience for him, and we recognized this in him. He moved away from us, taking shelter behind us, and covered his head, and it intensified upon him until we knew that revelation had been sent down to him. Then he came to us and informed us that revelation had been sent down to him: 'Indeed, We have granted you a clear victory.'" [Quran 48:1]  

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَذَكَرُوا أَنَّهُمْ نَزَلُوا دَهَاسًا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ يَعْنِي بِالدَّهَاسِ الرَّمْلَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ يَكْلَؤُنَا» فَقَالَ بِلَالٌ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «إِذًا تنَامُ فَنَامُوا حَتَّى طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ نَاسٌ فِيهِمْ فُلَانٌ وَفُلَانٌ وَفِيهِمْ عُمَرُ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ» فَقَالَ «افْعَلُوا كَمَا كُنْتُمُ تَفْعَلُونَ» فَفَعَلْنَا قَالَ «كَذَلِكَ فَافْعَلُوا لِمَنْ نَامَ أَوْ نَسِيَ» قَالَ فَضَلَّتْ نَاقَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَطَلَبْتُهَا فَوَجَدْتُ حَبْلَهَا قَدْ تَعَلَّقَ بِشَجَرَةٍ فَجِئْتُ بِهَا فَرَكِبَ فَسِرْنَا وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ اشْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ وَعَرَفْنَا ذَلِكَ فِيهِ فَتَنَحَّى مُنْتَبِذًا خَلْفَنَا فَجَعَلَ يُغَطِّي رَأْسَهُ فَيَشْتَدُّ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى عَرَفْنَا أَنَّهُ قَدْ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَتَانَا فَأَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّهُ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ {إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُبِينًا} [الفتح 1]  

[Machine] Abdullah said, when the Prophet ﷺ returned to Hudaybiyah, "Who will guard us tonight?" Abdullah replied, "I will." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Who will guard us tonight?" Abdullah responded again, "I will." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ repeated, "Who will guard us tonight?" Abdullah replied, "The people remained silent, so I said, 'I will then.'" He said, "So I guarded them until the time of dawn came upon us." Abdullah continued, "I fell asleep and did not wake up until the heat of the sun was on our shoulders. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ stood up and performed his usual actions." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If Allah had willed for you not to sleep, you would not have slept. However, Allah wanted it to be a Sunnah for those who come after you, for those who sleep or forget."  

قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ لَمَّا رَجَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ زَمَانَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ قَالَ «مَنْ يَحْرُسُنَا اللَّيْلَةَ؟» قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ أَنَا قَالَ «إِنَّكَ تَنَامُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ يَحْرُسُنَا اللَّيْلَةَ؟» قَالَ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا قَالَ «إِنَّكَ تَنَامُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ يَحْرُسُنَا اللَّيْلَةَ؟» قَالَ «وَسَكَتَ الْقَوْمُ» فَقُلْتُ أَنَا قَالَ «فَأَنْتَ إِذًا» قَالَ «فَحَرَسْتُهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ فِي وَجْهِ الصُّبْحِ أَدْرَكَنِي» مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَنِمْتُ فَمَا اسْتَيْقَظْتُ إِلَّا بِحَرِّ الشَّمْسِ عَلَى أَكْتَافِنَا فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَنَعَ كَمَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ لَا تَنَامُوا عَنْهَا لَمْ تَنَامُوا وَلَكِنْ أَرَادَ اللهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ سُنَّةً لِمَنْ بَعْدَكُمْ لِمَنْ نَامَ أَوْ نَسِيَ»  

[Machine] He informed him that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "Do not light a fire at night." And when it was after that, he said: "Light it and prepare it, for no people after you can measure your grain or your measurement."  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ قَالَ «لَا تُوقِدُوا نَارًا بِلَيْلٍ» فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «أَوْقِدُوا وَاصْطَنِعُوا فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُدْرِكُ قَوْمٌ بَعْدَكُمْ صَاعَكُمْ وَلَا مُدَّكُمْ»  

[Machine] When the Prophet ﷺ would stop at a location, his companions would disperse in the valleys and mountains. He would then stand and say, "Your dispersing in the valleys and mountains is only from Satan." After that, some of them would join together with others when they would stop, to the extent that you would say, "If you were to spread out a fabric over them, it would cover them all," or something similar.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا نَزَلَ مَنْزِلًا فَعَسْكَرَ تَفَرَّقُوا عَنْهُ فِي الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ فَقَامَ فِيهِمْ فَقَالَ إِنَّ تَفَرُّقَكُمْ فِي الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكُمْ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَكَانُوا إِذَا نَزَلُوا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ انْضَمَّ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ حَتَّى إِنَّكَ لَتَقُولُ لَوْ بَسَطْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ كِسَاءً لَعَمَّتْهُمْ أَوْ نَحْوُ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to dig the trench and the dirt would reach his stomach while he was saying, "O Allah, if it were not for You, we would not have been guided, nor given in charity, nor prayed. So, send down tranquility upon us. Verily, the enemies have rebelled against us when they wanted to create discord among us."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَحْفِرُ مَعَنَا الْخَنْدَقَ وَالتُّرَابُ قَدْ عَلَا بَطْنَهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ لَوْلَا أَنْتَ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا وَلَا تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلَا صَلَّيْنَا فَأَنْزِلَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا إِنَّ الْأُلَى قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا إِذَا أَرَادُوا فِتْنَةً أَبَيْنَا»  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to dig the trench, there was a rock in it that could not be broken with a regular tool. So we complained about it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and threw his cloak, took the tool, and said, "In the name of Allah." He struck a blow and broke a third of the rock. He said, "Allah is the Greatest! I have been given the keys to Syria, and by Allah, I can see its red palaces from this place." Then he struck another blow and said, "In the name of Allah," and broke another third. He said, "Allah is the Greatest! I have been given the keys to Persia, and by Allah, I can see the white palaces of Madain from here." Then he struck the third blow and said, "In the name of Allah," and cut through the rock. He said, "Allah is the Greatest! I have been given the keys to Yemen, and by Allah, I can see the gates of Sana'a."  

لَمَّا أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَحْفِرَ الْخَنْدَقَ عَرَضَ لَنَا فِيهِ حَجَرٌ لَا يَأْخُذُ فِيهِ الْمِعْوَلُ فَاشْتَكَيْنَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَلْقَى ثَوْبَهُ وَأَخَذَ الْمِعْوَلَ وَقَالَ «بِسْمِ اللهِ فَضَرَبَ ضَرْبَةً فَكَسَرَ ثُلُثَ الصَّخْرَةِ» قَالَ «اللهُ أَكْبَرُ أُعْطِيتُ مَفَاتِحَ الشَّامِ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأُبْصِرُ قُصُورَهَا الْحُمْرَ الْآنَ مِنْ مَكَانِي هَذَا» قَالَ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ أُخْرَى وَقَالَ «بِسْمِ اللهِ وَكَسَرَ ثُلُثًا آخَرَ» وَقَالَ «اللهُ أَكْبَرُ أُعْطِيتُ مَفَاتِحَ فَارِسَ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأُبْصِرُ قَصْرَ الْمَدَائِنَ الْأَبْيَضَ الْآنَ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ الثَّالِثَةَ» وَقَالَ «بِسْمِ اللهِ فَقَطَعَ الْحَجَرَ» قَالَ «اللهُ أَكْبَرُ أُعْطِيتُ مَفَاتِحَ الْيَمَنِ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأُبْصِرُ بَابَ صَنْعَاءَ»  

The Prophet ﷺ went out on a cold morning while the Muhajirin (emigrants) and the Ansar were digging the trench. The Prophet ﷺ then said, "O Allah! The real goodness is the goodness of the Here after, so please forgive the Ansar and the Muhajirin." They replied, "We are those who have given the Pledge of allegiance to Muhammad for to observe Jihad as long as we remain alive." (Using translation from Bukhārī 7201)   

خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي غَدَاةٍ بَارِدَةٍ وَالْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالْأَنْصَارُ يَعْنِي يَحْفِرُونَ الْخَنْدَقَ فَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ إِنَّ الْخَيْرَ خَيْرُ الْآخِرَهْ فَاغْفِرْ لِلْأَنْصَارِ وَالْمُهَاجِرَهْ» فَأَجَابُوهُ [البحر الرجز] نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ بَايَعُوا مُحَمَّدَا عَلَى الْجِهَادِ مَا بَقِينَا أَبَدَا  

When the Prophet ﷺ called the people (Sadqa, a sub-narrator, said, 'Most likely that happened on the day of Al-Khandaq) Az-Zubair responded to the call (i.e. to act as a scout). The Prophet) called the people again and Az-Zubair responded to the call. The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Every prophet had a disciple and my disciple is Zubair bin Al-ʿAwwam." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2847)   

سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ نَدَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ فَانْتُدِبَ الزُّبَيْرُ ثُمَّ نَدَبَهُمْ فَانْتُدِبَ الزُّبَيْرُ ثُمَّ نَدَبَهُمْ فَانْتُدِبَ الزُّبَيْرُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ حَوَارِيًّا وَحَوَارِيَّ الزُّبَيْرُ»  

[Machine] A man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ told me, he said, the Prophet ﷺ said on the night of the Battle of the Trench, "I do not see the people except as your bed for tonight, for surely, your slogan is 'Ham' (the Arabic letter)' and they will not be victorious."  

حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْخَنْدَقِ «إِنِّي لَا أَرَى الْقَوْمَ إِلَّا مُبَيِّتِيكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ فَإِنَّ شِعَارَكُمْ حم لَا يُنْصَرُونَ»  

[Machine] "We were with Abu Bakr one night when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by us and he ordered us to stay together, and our slogan was 'O Ummah! O Ummah!'"  

«كُنَّا مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ لَيْلَةَ بَيَّتْنَا هَوَازِنَ أَمَّرَهُ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ شِعَارُنَا أَمِتْ أَمِتْ»  

We were in a Ghazwa (Sufyan once said, in an army) and a man from the emigrants kicked an Ansari man (on the buttocks with his foot). The Ansari man said, "O the Ansar! (Help!)" and the emigrant said. "O the emigrants! (Help!) Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard that and said, "What is this call for, which is characteristic of the period of ignorance?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! A man from the emigrants kicked one of the Ansar (on the buttocks with his foot)." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Leave it (that call) as is a detestable thing." ʿAbdullah bin Ubai heard that and said, 'Have the (the emigrants) done so? By Allah, if we return Medina, surely, the more honorable will expel therefrom the meaner." When this statement reached the Prophet. ʿUmar got up an, said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Let me chop off the head of this hypocrite (ʿAbdullah bin Ubai)!" The Prophet ﷺ said "Leave him, lest the people say that Muhammad kills his companions." The Ansar were then more in number than the emigrants when the latter came to Medina, but later on the emigrant increased. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4905)   

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي غَزَاةٍ فَكَسَعَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ يَا لِلْأَنْصَارِ وَقَالَ الْمُهَاجِرِيُّ يَا لِلْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَسَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا بَالُ دَعْوَى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ؟» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ كَسَعَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ دَعُوهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُنْتِنَةٌ فَسَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي وَكَانَ مَعَهُمْ فِي الْغَزَاةِ فَقَالَ «أَوْ قَدْ فَعَلُوهَا وَاللهِ لَئِنْ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْأَذَلَّ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ «دَعْنِي أَضْرِبْ عُنُقَ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقَ» قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَتَحَدَّثُ النَّاسُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا يَقْتَلُ أَصْحَابَهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever seeks consolation with the traditions of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance, then he is part of it, and he should not be supported."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ تَعَزَّى بِعَزَاءِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَعْضُوهُ بِهِنَّ أَبِيهِ وَلَا تُكَنُّوا»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "If one of you seeks consolation in the custom of the pre-Islamic era, then do not support him."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِذَا اعْتَزَى أَحَدُهُمْ بِعَزَاءِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَعْضُوهُ بِهِنَّ أَبِيهِ وَلَا تُكَنُّوا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever invokes with the call of ignorance, then he is from the inhabitants of Hellfire." A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, even if he fasts and prays?" He said, "Yes, even if he fasts and prays, so invoke with the supplication of Allah that He called you with, the Muslims, the believers, the servants of Allah."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ دَعَا بِدَعْوَى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ جُثَا جَهَنَّمَ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَإِنْ صَامَ وَصَلَّى قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَإِنْ صَامَ وَصَلَّى فَادْعُوا بِدَعْوَةِ اللهِ الَّتِي سَمَّاكُمُ اللهُ بِهَا الْمُسْلِمِينَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عِبَادَ اللهِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not sleep one night upon arriving in Al-Madinah. So he said: 'If only a righteous man would guard me tonight.'" She said: "So we were like that, when we heard the clanging of weapons. He said: 'Who is this?' So he said: 'Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'What has brought you?' Sa'd said: 'Fear for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came upon me, so I came to protect him.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ supplicated for him, then slept." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3756)  

سَهِرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَقْدِمَهُ الْمَدِينَةَ لَيْلَةً قَالَ «لَيْتَ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِي يَحْرُسُنِي اللَّيْلَةَ» قَالَ «فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ سَمِعْنَا خَشْخَشَةَ سِلَاحٍ» فَقَالَ «مَنْ هَذَا؟» قَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟» قَالَ سَعْدٌ «وَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي خَوْفٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجِئْتُ أَحْرُسُهُ فَدَعَا لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ نَامَ»  

[Machine] About the Prophet, ﷺ , he said, "Shall I inform you of a night better than the Night of Decree? It is a night guarded in a land of fear, perhaps he does not return to his family." Muhammad said, "When Yahya spoke among the noble leaders, he did not elevate his voice. But when he spoke in private and in his personal matters, he raised it."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «أَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِلَيْلَةٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ حَارِسٌ حَرَسَ فِي أَرْضِ خَوْفٍ لَعَلَّهُ لَا يَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ» قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ «كَانَ يَحْيَى إِذَا حَدَّثَ بِهِ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْمَلَأِ لَا يَرْفَعُهُ وَإِذَا حَدَّثَ بِهِ فِي خَلْوَتِهِ وَخَاصَّتِهِ رَفَعَهُ»  

[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a military expedition, and I heard him saying, "The Hellfire is forbidden for an eye that cried out of fear of Allah, the Hellfire is forbidden for an eye that stayed awake for the sake of Allah." I forgot the third one, and later I heard that he said, "The Hellfire is forbidden for an eye that looked away from the forbidden things of Allah."  

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةٍ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ حُرِّمَتِ النَّارُ عَلَى عَيْنٍ دَمَعَتْ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللهِ حُرِّمَتِ النَّارُ عَلَى عَيْنٍ سَهِرَتْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَنَسِيتُ الثَّالِثَةَ وَسَمِعْتُ بَعْدُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «حُرِّمَتِ النَّارُ عَلَى عَيْنٍ غَضَّتْ عَنْ مَحَارِمِ اللهِ»  

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)  

أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ سَهْلُ بْنُ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ أَنَّهُمْ سَافِرُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ فَأَطْنَبُوا فِي السَّيْرِ حَتَّى كَانَ عَشِيَّةُ حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَارِسٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي انْطَلَقْتُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ حَتَّى طَلَعْتُ جَبَلَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِذَ أَنَا بِهَوَازِنَ عَلَى بَكْرَةِ أَبِيهِمْ بِظُعُنِهِمْ وَنَعَمِهِمْ وَنِسَائِهِمْ قَدِ اجْتَمَعُوا إِلَى حُنَيْنٍ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ «تِلْكَ غَنِيمَةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ غَدًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَنْ يَحْرُسُنَا اللَّيْلَةَ؟» فَقَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْثَدٍ الْغَنَوِيُّ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ «ارْكَبْ فَرَكِبَ فَرَسًا لَهُ فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اسْتَقْبِلْ هَذَا الشِّعْبَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ فِي أَعْلَاهُ وَلَا نُغَرَّنَّ مِنْ قِبَلِكَ اللَّيْلَةَ» فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى مُصَلَّاهُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَلْ أَحْسَسْتُمْ فَارِسَكُمْ؟» قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا حَسَسْنَاهُ فَثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى الشِّعْبِ حَتَّى إِذَا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ سَلَّمَ وَقَالَ «أَبْشِرُوا فَقَدْ جَاءَ فَارِسُكُمْ فَجَعَلْنَا نَنْظُرُ إِلَى خِلَالِ الشَّجَرِ فِي الشِّعْبِ فَإِذَا هُوَ قَدْ جَاءَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ» فَقَالَ إِنِّي انْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى كُنْتُ فِي أَعَلَى هَذَا الشِّعْبِ حَيْثُ أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ طَلَعْتُ الشِّعْبَيْنِ كِلَيْهِمَا فَنَظَرْتُ فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هَلْ نَزَلَتِ اللَّيْلَةَ؟» قَالَ لَا إِلَّا مُصَلِّيًا أَوْ قَاضيَ حَاجَةٍ قَالَ «فَقَدْ أَوْجَبْتَ فَلَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا تَعْمَلَ بَعْدَ هَذَا»  

I found him saying his prayer, so I sat down waiting for him to finish his prayer when I heard a stir in the bundles (of wood) lying in a comer of the house. I looked towards it and found a snake. I jumped up in order to kill it, but he (Abu Sa'id Khudri) made a gesture that I should sit down. So I sat down and as he finished (the prayer) he pointed to a room in the house and said: Do you see this room? I said: Yes. He said: There was a young man amongst us who had been newly wedded. We went with Messenger of Allah ﷺ (to participate in the Battle) of Trench when a young man in the midday used to seek permission from Messenger of Allah ﷺ to return to his family. One day he sought permission from him and Messenger of Allah ﷺ (after granting him the permission) said to him: Carry your weapons with you for I fear the tribe of Quraiza (may harm you). The man carried the weapons and then came back and found his wife standing between the two doors. He bent towards her smitten by jealousy and made a dash towards her with a spear in order to stab her. She said: Keep your spear away and enter the house until you see that which has made me come out. He entered and found a big snake coiled on the bedding. He darted with the spear and pierced it and then went out having fixed it in the house, but the snake quivered and attacked him and no one knew which of them died first, the snake or the young man. We came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and made a mention to him and said: Supplicate to Allah that that (man) may be brought back to life. Thereupon he said: Ask forgiveness for your companion and then said: There are in Medina jinns who have accepted Islam, so when you see any one of them, pronounce a warning to it for three days, and if they appear before you after that, then kill it for that is a devil. (Using translation from Muslim 2236a)   

فَسَمِعْتُ تَحْرِيكًا تَحْتَ سَرِيرِهِ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَإِذَا حَيَّةٌ فَقُمْتُ لِأَقْتُلَهَا فَأَشَارَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ اجْلِسْ فَجَلَسْتُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَشَارَ إِلَى بَيْتٍ فِي الدَّارِ» فَقَالَ «تَرَى هَذَا الْبَيْتَ» فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِيهِ فَتًى مِنَّا حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِعُرْسٍ فَخَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْخَنْدَقِ فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الْفَتَى يَسْتَأْذِنُهُ بِأَنْصَافِ النَّهَارِ يُطَالِعُ أَهْلَهُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «خُذْ سِلَاحَكَ فَإِنِّي أَخْشَى عَلَيْكَ قُرَيْظَةَ فَأَخَذَ الرَّجُلُ سِلَاحَهُ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِامْرَأَتِهِ قَائِمَةً بَيْنَ الْبَابَيْنِ فَهَيَّأَ لَهَا الرُّمْحَ لِيَطْعَنَهَا بِهَا وَأَصَابَتْهُ الْغَيْرَةُ» فَقَالَتْ اكْفُفْ رُمْحَكَ حَتَّى تَرَى مَا فِي بَيْتِكَ فَدَخَلَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِحَيَّةٍ مُنْطَوِيَةٍ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَرَكَزَ فِيهَا الرُّمْحَ فَانْتَظَمَهَا فِيهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَنَصَبَهُ فِي الدَّارِ فَاضْطَرَبَتِ الْحَيَّةُ فِي رَأْسِ الرُّمْحِ وَخَرَّ الْفَتَى مَيِّتًا فَمَا يُدْرَى أَيُّهُمَا كَانَ أَسْرَعَ مَوْتًا الْفَتَى أَمِ الْحَيَّةُ؟ فَجِئْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ وَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللهَ لَهُ أَنْ يُحْيِيَهُ فَقَالَ «اسْتَغْفِرُوا لِصَاحِبِكُمْ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ جِنًّا قَدْ أَسْلَمُوا فَمَنْ بَدَا لَكُمْ مِنْهُمْ فَآذِنُوهُ ثَلَاثًا فَإِنْ عَادَ فَاقْتُلُوهُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْطَانٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ trapped the people of Ta'if, as if he did not receive anything from them. He said, "We will leave, if Allah wills." The Muslims said, "Should we leave without conquering it?" He said, "March towards battle." So they set out and were wounded. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "We will leave, as if they desired that." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed.  

حَاصَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَهْلَ الطَّائِفِ فَكَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَنَلْ مِنْهُمْ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ «إِنَّا قَافِلُونَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ» فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ نَذْهَبُ وَلَمْ يُفْتَتَحْ؟ قَالَ «اغْدُوا عَلَى الْقِتَالِ فَغَدَوْا فَأَصَابَهُمْ جِرَاحَةٌ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّا قَافِلُونَ فَكَأَنَّهُمُ اشْتَهَوْا ذَلِكَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "O Allah, whoever is granted authority over any matter of my nation, should show them compassion, so please, be compassionate towards them."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ مَنْ وَلِيَ مِنْ أَمْرِ أُمَّتِي شَيْئًا فَرَفَقَ بِهِمْ فَارْفُقْ بِهِ»  

[Machine] He heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "Every shepherd is responsible for his flock. The imam is a shepherd and he is responsible for his flock." It is abbreviated.  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «كُلُّ رَاعٍ مَسْؤُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ الْإِمَامُ رَاعٍ وَمَسْؤُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ» مُخْتَصَرٌ  

“Count for me all those who have uttered (the word of) Islam.” We said: “O Messenger of Allah, do you fear for us when we number between six and seven hundred?” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “You do not know, perhaps you will be tested.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4029)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَحْصُوا لِي مَنْ كَانَ يَلْفِظُ بِالْإِسْلَامِ» فَقُلْنَا أَتَخَافُ عَلَيْنَا وَنَحْنُ مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّمِائَةِ إِلَى السَّبْعِمِائَةِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ أَنْ تُبْتَلَوْا فَابْتُلِيَنَا حَتَّى جَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا لَا يُصَلِّي إِلَّا سِرًّا»  

Marwan bin Al-Hakam and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama told him that when the Muslims were permitted to set free the captives of Hawazin, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I do not know who amongst you has agreed (to it) and who has not. Go back so that your 'Urafa' may submit your decision to us." So the people returned and their 'Urafa' talked to them and then came back to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him that the people had given their consent happily and permitted (their captives to be freed). (Using translation from Bukhārī 7176)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ أَذِنَ لَهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فِي عِتْقِ سَبْيِ هَوَازِنَ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَا أَدْرِي مَنْ أَذِنَ مِنْكُمْ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَأْذَنْ فَارْجِعُوا حَتَّى يَرْفَعَ إِلَيْنَا عُرَفَاؤُكُمْ أَمْرَكُمْ فَرَجَعَ النَّاسُ وَكَلَّمَهُمْ عُرَفَاؤُهُمْ فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ»  

That Ibn 'Umar was presented before the Prophet ﷺ on the day of Uhud, when he was fourteen years old, but he did not allow him. He was again presented to him on the day of Khandaq (the battle of Trench) when he was fifteen years old, he allowed him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2957)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «عَرَضَهُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ فَلَمْ يُجِزْهُ وَعَرَضَهُ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ فَأَجَازَهُ»  

[Machine] About the Prophet Muhammad, may ﷺ , said: "A prophet from among the prophets went on a military expedition with his companions. He said, 'No man should build a house and not live in it, or marry a woman and not have intercourse with her, or have a need to return and then meet the enemy while the sun is setting.' He then prayed, 'O Allah! This is a command from You and also a command to me. Detain it with me until You decide between me and them.' Allah detained it with him and opened it for him. They gathered the spoils of war, but the fire did not consume them." He said, "Whenever they won any war booty, Allah used to send an ordinary fire like this fire of yours, which devoured what they had gotten. So, when Muslims won a war booty, Allah postponed the fire from it till His Apostle came to the booty and the fire was presented to consume it. When they took out a part of the booty, they got that particular part and the fire did not consume it. Then he (the Prophet) said, 'Some of you have run away from your places of assembly. Some others sold their camels and remained behind in Mecca. So these are with me, and have not got their share from the booty yet. I intend to pay them their share so that they may obey me in fighting.' So he ordered his companions to collect whatever was with them, and it was collected." Then he called them in front of him and said, "I am going to divide what Allah has given me among you and satisfy every one of you with his share, so that none of you will be left with a grudge or be unhappy for not getting his share properly." The Prophet then made them Zakat collectors of those who remained behind in Mecca to collect Zakat from them. He then returned to Medina, leaving Abdul-Rahman bin Auf as his deputy in Medina.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ نَبِيًّا مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ غَزَا بِأَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ «لَا يَتْبَعُنِي رَجُلٌ بَنَى دَارًا لَمْ يَسْكُنْهَا أَوْ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً لَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا أَوْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ فِي الرُّجُوعِ فَلَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ عِنْدَ غَيْبُوبَةِ الشَّمْسِ» فَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ إِنَّهَا مَأْمُورَةٌ وَإِنِّي مَأْمُورٌ فَاحْبِسْهَا عَلَيَّ حَتَّى تَقْضِيَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَحَبَسَهَا اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فَفَتَحَ عَلَيْهِ فَجَمَعُوا الْغَنَائِمَ فَلَمْ تَأْكُلْهَا النَّارُ» قَالَ وَكَانُوا إِذَا غَنِمُوا غَنِيمَةً بَعَثَ اللهُ عَلَيْهَا النَّارَ فَتَأْكُلُهَا فَقَالَ «لَهُمْ نَبِيُّهُمْ إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ غَلَلْتُمْ فَلْيَأْتِنِي مِنْ كُلِّ قَبِيلَةٍ رَجُلٌ فَلْيُبَايِعُونِي فَأَتَوْهُ فَبَايَعُوهُ فَلَزِقَتْ يَدُ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْهُمْ بِيَدِهِ» فَقَالَ لَهُمَا إِنَّكُمَا قَدْ غَلَلْتُمَا فَقَالَا «أَجَلْ غَلَلْنَا صُورَةَ رَأْسِ بَقَرَةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَجَاءَا بِهَا فَأَلْقَيَاهَا إِلَى الْغَنَائِمِ فَبَعَثَ اللهُ عَلَيْهَا النَّارَ فَأَكَلَتْهَا» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ «إِنَّ اللهَ أَطْعَمَنَا الْغَنَائِمَ رَحْمَةً رَحِمَنَا بِهَا وَتَخْفِيفًا خَفَّفَهُ عَنَّا لِمَا عَلِمَ مِنْ ضَعْفِنَا»  

Hashraj ibn Ziyad reported on the authority of his grandmother that she went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for the battle of Khaybar. They were six in number including herself. (She said): When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed about it, he sent for us. We came to him, and found him angry. He said: With whom did you come out, and by whose permission did you come out? We said: Messenger of Allah, we have come out to spin the hair, by which we provide aid in the cause of Allah. We have medicine for the wounded, we hand arrows (to the fighters), and supply drink made of wheat or barley. He said: Stand up. When Allah bestowed victory of Khaybar on him, he allotted shares to us from spoils that he allotted to the men. He (Hashraj ibn Ziyad) said: I said to her: Grandmother, what was that? She replied: Dates. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2729)   

خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزَاةِ خَيْبَرَ وَأَنَا سَادِسَةُ سِتِّ نِسْوَةٍ فَبَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ مَعَهُ نِسَاءً فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَرَأَيْنَا فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْغَضَبَ فَقَالَ لَنَا «مَا أَخْرَجَكُنَّ وَبِأَمْرِ مَنْ خَرَجْتُنَّ؟» قُلْنَا خَرَجْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَعَكَ نُنَاوِلُ السِّهَامَ وَنَسْقِي السَّوِيقَ وَنُدَاوِي الْجَرْحَى وَنَغْزِلُ الشَّعَرَ نَعِينُ بِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ «قُمْنَ فَانْصَرِفْنَ» قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللهُ لِرَسُولِهِ ﷺ خَيْبَرَ أَسْهَمَ لَنَا كَسِهَامِ الرِّجَالِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا يَا جَدَّةُ «مَا الَّذِي أَسْهَمَ» لَكُنَّ؟ قَالَتِ «التَّمْرَ»  

[Machine] "I participated in seven military expeditions with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I used to accompany them on journeys, prepare their food, and treat the wounded."  

«غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعَ غَزَوَاتٍ كُنْتُ أَخْلُفُهُمْ فِي الرِّحَالِ وَأَصْنَعُ طَعَامَهُمْ وَأُدَاوِي الْجَرْحَى»
