قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ} [الحشر: 5]
'Messenger of Allah ﷺ burnt and cut down the palm trees of Bani An-Nadir which were at Al-Buwair (a place near Medina). There upon Allah revealed: 'What you (O Muslims) cut down of the palm trees (of the enemy) or you left them standing on their stems, it was by the leave of Allah, so that He might cover with shame the rebellious.' (59.5) (Using translation from Bukhārī 4884)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حَرَّقَ نَخْلَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَقَطَعَ وَهِيَ الْبُوَيْرَةُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى {مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوهَا قَائِمَةً عَلَى أُصُولِهَا فَبِإِذْنِ اللهِ وَلِيُخْزِيَ الْفَاسِقِينَ} [الحشر 5]
قَوْلُهُ: {وَلِيُخْزِيَ الْفَاسِقِينَ} [الحشر: 5]
[Machine] "They brought them down from their fortresses and ordered the cutting of the palm trees, so fear entered their hearts. The Muslims said, 'We have cut some of them and left some, so let us ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , do we get a reward for what we have cut and do we bear any sin for what we have left?' So Allah revealed, 'Whatever you have cut of [their] palm trees or left standing on their roots' (Surah Al-Hashr, Verse 5). Ka'ab Al-Ahbar said: 'It was 'Affaan who narrated this hadith to us from Abdul Wahid from Habib, then he went back and narrated to us from Hafs."
اسْتَنْزَلُوهُمْ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ وَأُمِرُوا بِقِطْعِ النَّخْلِ فَحَاكَ فِي صُدُورِهِمْ فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ قَدْ قَطَعْنَا بَعْضًا وَتَرَكْنَا بَعْضًا فَلَنَسْأَلَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ هَلْ لَنَا فِيمَا قَطَعْنَا مِنْ أَجْرٍ؟ وَهَلْ عَلَيْنَا فِيمَا تَرَكْنَا مِنْ وِزْرٍ؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوهَا قَائِمَةً} [الحشر 5] قَالَ كَانَ عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ عَنْ حَبِيبٍ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَحَدَّثَنَاهُ عَنْ حَفْصٍ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَمَا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ} [الحشر: 6]
[Machine] I will inform you about this matter. Indeed, Allah, the Most High, has granted His Messenger, ﷺ , something that He has not given to anyone other than him. He said, "And what Allah restored to His Messenger from the people of the towns - it is for Allah and for the Messenger and for [his] near relatives and orphans and the [stranded] traveler" [Al-Hashr: 6]. So, this is specifically for the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . By Allah, he did not choose it for himself or prefer it over you. And indeed, he distributed it among you until only this amount remained. So, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , spent from it on his family according to their needs and then he made what remained in the wealth of Allah, the Exalted, concise.
سَأُخْبِرُكُمْ بِهَذَا الْفَيْءِ إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى خَصَّ نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يُعْطِهِ غَيْرَهُ فَقَالَ {وَمَا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْهُمْ فَمَا أَوْجَفْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خَيْلٍ وَلَا رِكَابٍ} [الحشر 6] فَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ خَاصَّةً فَوَاللهِ مَا اخْتَارَهَا دُونَكُمْ وَلَا اسْتَأْثَرَ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَقَدْ قَسَمَهَا عَلَيْكُمْ حَتَّى بَقِيَ مِنْهَا هَذَا الْمَالُ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُنْفِقُ مِنْهُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ سَنَتَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُ مَا بَقِيَ فِي مَالِ اللهِ ﷻ مُخْتَصَرٌ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَمَا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ} [الحشر: 6]
The wealth of Banu an-Nadeer was among the fai' that Allah bestowed upon His Messenger ﷺ, for which the Muslims made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry (cf. al-Hashr 59:6). It was only for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he used to spend from it on his family's annual expenses-and on one occasion he said: his annual food supply -and what was left he spent on horses and weapons in preparation for jihad for the sake of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, (Using translation from Aḥmad 171)
عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ «كَانَتْ أَمْوَالُ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِمَّا لَمْ يُوجِفْ الْمُسْلِمُونَ عَلَيْهِ بِخَيْلٍ وَلَا رِكَابٍ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُنْفِقُ مِنْهَا عَلَى أَهْلِهِ نَفَقَةَ سَنَةٍ وَمَا بَقِيَ جَعَلَهُ فِي السِّلَاحِ وَالْكُرَاعِ عُدَّةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ»
ذِي الْقُرْبَى
[Machine] About the arrow of the relative whom Allah mentioned, who are they? And indeed, we used to perceive that the kinsfolk of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ are us." So, our people refused that.
عَنْ سَهْمِ ذِي الْقُرْبَى الَّذِي ذَكَرَهُ اللهُ مَنْ هُمْ؟ وَإِنَّا كُنَّا نَرَى أَنَّ قَرَابَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ هُمْ نَحْنُ» فَأَبَى ذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا قَوْمُنَا
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ} [الحشر: 7]
He heard Ibn 'Umar and Ibn 'Abbas testify that the Messenger of Allah [SAW] forbade Ad-Dubba' (gourds), Al-Hantam, Al-Muzaffat, and An-Naqir. Then the Messenger of Allah [SAW] recited this Verse: "And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad) gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it)." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5643)
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُمَا شَهِدَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ ثُمَّ تَلَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا} [الحشر 7]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا} [الحشر: 7]
ʿAbdullah (bin Masud) said. "Allah curses those ladies who practice tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and those ladies who remove the hair from their faces and those who make artificial spaces between their teeth in order to look more beautiful whereby they change Allah's creation." His saying reached a lady from Bani Asd called Um Yaqub who came (to ʿAbdullah) and said, "I have come to know that you have cursed such-and-such (ladies)?" He replied, "Why should I not curse these whom Messenger of Allah ﷺ has cursed and who are (cursed) in Allah's Book!" Um Yaqub said, "I have read the whole Qur'an, but I did not find in it what you say." He said, "Verily, if you have read it (i.e. the Qur'an), you have found it. Didn't you read: 'And whatsoever the Apostle gives you take it and whatsoever he forbids you, you abstain (from it). (59.7) She replied, "Yes, I did," He said, "Verily, Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade such things." "She said, "But I see your wife doing these things?" He said, "Go and watch her." She went and watched her but could not see anything in support of her statement. On that he said, "If my wife was as you thought, I would not keep her in my company." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4886)
«لَعَنَ اللهُ الْوَاشِمَاتِ وَالْمَوْشُومَاتِ وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ لِلْحُسْنِ الْمُغَيِّرَاتِ خَلْقَ اللهِ» فَبَلَغَتِ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا أُمُّ يَعْقُوبَ فَأَتَتْهُ فَقَالَتْ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ لَعَنْتَ كَيْتَ وَكَيْتَ؟ قَالَ «أَلَا أَلْعَنُ مَنْ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ» قَالَتْ لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ مَا بَيْنَ لَوْحَيِ الْمُصْحَفِ فَمَا وَجَدْتُهُ؟ قَالَ لَئِنْ كُنْتِ قَرَأْتِيهِ لَقَدْ وَجَدْتِيهِ أَمَا وَجَدْتِ {وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا} [الحشر 7]؟ قَالَتْ بَلَى وَإِنِّي أَظُنُّ أَهْلَكَ يَفْعَلُونَ بَعْضَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «ادْخُلِي فَانْظُرِي» فَدَخَلَتْ ثُمَّ خَرَجَتْ قَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا قَالَ «لَوْ فَعَلَتْهُ لَمْ تُجَامِعْنَا»
الْمُهَاجِرُونَ
"Ibn 'Abbas said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Bakr and 'Umar were among the Muhajirin (emigrants), because they forsook (hajaru) the idolators, and some of the Ansar were Muhajirun because Al-Madinah was a land of shirk, and they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the Night of Al-'Aqabah."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4166)
قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ وَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَأَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَانُوا مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ لِأَنَّهُمْ هَجَرُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مُهَاجِرُونَ لَأَنَّ الْمَدِينَةَ كَانَتْ دَارَ شِرْكٍ فَجَاءُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ»
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَالَّذِينَ تَبَوَّءُوا الدَّارَ وَالْإِيمَانَ}
[Machine] I recommend the Caliph who comes after me to be mindful of Allah, and I advise him regarding the early immigrants who were expelled from their homes, that he acknowledges their migration and recognizes their virtues. And I advise him regarding the Helpers, who took in the immigrants and embraced the faith before them, that he recognizes their virtues and shows gratitude towards those who do good to them, and overlooks the wrongs committed by them. And I advise him regarding the people who have a covenant with Muhammad to fulfill their obligations towards them, and not to burden them beyond their capabilities, and to fight their enemies from behind them.
أُوصِي الْخَلِيفَةَ مِنْ بَعْدِي بِتَقْوَى اللهِ وَأُوصِيهِ بِالْمُهَاجِرِينَ الْأَوَّلِينَ {الَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ} [الحج 40] الْآيَةَ أَنْ يَعْرِفَ لَهُمْ هِجْرَتَهُمْ وَيَعْرِفَ لَهُمْ فَضْلَهُمْ وَأُوصِيهِ بِالْأَنْصَارِ {وَالَّذِينَ تَبَوَّءُوا الدَّارَ وَالْإِيمَانَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ} الْآيَةَ أَنْ يَعْرِفَ لَهُمْ فَضْلَهُمْ وَأَنْ يَقْبَلَ مِنْ مُحْسِنِهِمْ وَيَتَجَاوَزَ عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ وَأُوصِيهِ بِأَهْلِ ذِمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ أَنْ يُوَفِيَ لَهُمْ بَعَهْدِهِمْ وَأَلَّا يَحْمِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَوْقَ طَاقَتِهِمْ وَأَنْ يُقَاتِلَ عَدُوَّهُمْ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَيُؤْثِرُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ} [الحشر: 9]
(Lull) the children to sleep, and put out the lamp, and serve the guest with what you have with you. It was on this occasion that this verse was revealed:" Those who prefer the needy to their own selves in spite of the fact that they are themselves in pressing need" (Lix. 9). (Using translation from Muslim 2054b)
أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بَاتَ بِهِ ضَيْفٌ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا قُوتُ صِبْيَانِهِ فَقَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ نَوِّمِي الصِّبْيَةَ وَأَطْفِئِي السِّرَاجَ وَقَرِّبِي لِلضَّيْفِ مَا عِنْدَكِ فَنَزَلَتْ {وَيُؤْثِرُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلَوْ كَانَ بِهِمْ خَصَاصَةٌ} [الحشر 9]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَمَنْ يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِ} [الحشر: 9]
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Beware of injustice, for it will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection, and beware of obscenity, for Allah does not like obscenity and those who behave indecently. And beware of selfishness, for it has destroyed those who came before you. It commanded them to commit injustice, so they committed it, and it commanded them to commit immorality, so they committed it, and it commanded them to sever the ties of kinship, so they severed them."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اتَّقُوا الظُّلْمَ فَإِنَّهُ الظُّلُمَاتُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَاتَّقُوا الْفُحْشَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفُحْشَ وَالتَّفَحُّشَ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالشُّحَّ فَإِنَّهُ أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ أَمَرَهُمْ بِالظُّلْمِ فَظَلَمُوا وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالْفُجُورِ فَفَجَرُوا وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالْقَطِيعَةِ فَقَطَعُوا»
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَمَنْ يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِ} [الحشر: 9]
when we (prayed and) sat up during prayer along the Messenger of Allah (may peach be upon him), we said: “Peace be to Allah before it is supplicated for His servants; peace be to so and so. “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do not say “Peace be to Allah ,”for Allah Himself is peace. When one of you sits(during the prayer), he should say: The adoration of the tongue are due to Allah, and acts of worship and all good things. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and Allah’s mercy and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon Allah’s upright servants. When you say that, it reaches every upright servant in heavens and earth or between heavens and earth. I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and apostle. Then he may choose any supplication which pleases him and offer it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 968)
كُنَّا نَتَشَهَّدُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَنَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَى اللهِ قَبْلَ عِبَادِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى جِبْرِيلَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مِيكَائِيلَ نُعَدِّدُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ السَّلَامُ فَإِذَا جَلَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيَقُلِ التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا قَالَ أَحَدُكُمُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَصَابَتْ كُلَّ عَبْدٍ صَالِحٍ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ
