"There were kings after 'Isa bin Mariam who altered the Tawrah and the Injil, but there were among them believers who read the Tawrah. It was said to their kings: 'We have never heard of any slander worse than that of those (believers) who slander us and recite: "And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are the disbelievers." In these Verses, they are criticizing us for our deeds when they recite them.' So he called them together and gave them the choice between being put to death, or giving up reading the Tawrah and Injil, except for what had been altered. They said: 'Why do you want us to change? Leave us alone.' Some of them said: 'Build us a tower and let us go up there, and give us something to lift up our food and drink so we do not have to mix with you.' Others said: 'Let us go and wander throughout the land, and we will drink as the wild animals drink, and if you capture us in your land, you may kill us.' Others said: 'Build houses for us in the wilderness, and we will dig wells and grow vegetables, and we will not mix with you or pass by you, for there is no one of the tribes among whom we do not have close relatives.' So they did that, and Allah revealed the words: 'But the monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them, but (they sought it) only to please Allah therewith, but that they did not observe it with the right observance.' Then others said: 'We will worship as so-and-so worshipped, and we will wander as so-and-so wandered, and we will adopt houses (in the wilderness) as so-and-so did.' But they were still following their Shirk with no knowledge of the faith of those whom they claimed to be following. When Allah sent the Prophet [SAW], and they were only a few of them left, a man came down from his cell, and a wanderer came from his travels, and a monk came from his monastery, and they believed in him. And Allah said: 'O you who believe! Fear Allah, and believe in His Messenger (Muhammad), He will give you a double portion of His mercy - meaning, two rewards, because of their having believed in 'Isa and in the Tawrah and Injil, and for having believing in Muhammad [SAW]; and He will give you a light by which you shall walk (straight), - meaning, the Qur'an, and their following the Prophet [SAW]; and He said: 'So that the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may know that they have no power whatsoever over the Grace of Allah.'"

"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)

Then others said: 'We will worship as so-and-so worshipped, and we will wander as so-and-so wandered, and we will adopt houses (in the wilderness) as so-and-so did.' But they were still following their Shirk with no knowledge of the faith of those whom they claimed to be following. When Allah sent the Prophet [SAW], and they were only a few of them left, a man came down from his cell, and a wanderer came from his travels, and a monk came from his monastery, and they believed in him. And Allah said: 'O you who believe! Fear Allah, and believe in His Messenger (Muhammad), He will give you a double portion of His mercy - meaning, two rewards, because of their having believed in 'Isa and in the Tawrah and Injil, and for having believing in Muhammad [SAW]; and He will give you a light by which you shall walk (straight), - meaning, the Qur'an, and their following the Prophet [SAW]; and He said: 'So that the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may know that they have no power whatsoever over the Grace of Allah.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed with the pilgrims in their dwellings for ten years during the seasons of Mijannah, 'Ukaz, and their dwellings in Mina. He asked, "Who will provide refuge and support me until I deliver the messages of my Lord? For him is Paradise." However, he did not find anyone who would provide refuge and support him, until a man from Makkah or Yemen would enter his companion's dwelling, and his people or relatives would warn him, saying, "Beware of this young man from Quraysh, he will harm you. He walks among your bags and invites you to Allah, pointing at him with his finger." Then Allah sent a man from Yathrib who believed in him and recited the Quran to him. He returned to his people and they embraced Islam until there was no house left in Yathrib except that it had a group of Muslims who openly declared their faith. Then Allah sent for him and we met and gathered seventy of us and said, "How long will the Messenger of Allah be driven away in the mountains of Makkah and fear? So we traveled until we reached him during the season. We made an appointment with the people of 'Aqabah and gathered there one man, then two men, until we met him there. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, why should we pledge allegiance to you?" He replied, "Pledge allegiance to me in hearing and obedience, in times of ease and difficulty, in hardship and ease, in commanding the good and forbidding the evil, and that you will not blame me for the sake of Allah, regardless of what happens. And that you will support me if I come to you in Yathrib and will protect me from that which you protect yourselves, your wives, and your children. And for you is Paradise." So we said, "We pledge allegiance to you." He took the hand of As'ad bin Zurarah, the youngest of the seventy men except me, and said, "O people of Yathrib, we have not struck the liver of a camel except that we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah and that his leaving today means the separation of all the Arabs and the killing of your best men. And the swords will bite you. But as for you, you are a people who can bear the biting of swords, the killing of your best men, and the separation of all the Arabs. Take him, and your reward is with Allah. But as for you, you fear for yourselves and hesitate, so leave him. He is the most careful for your sake in the sight of Allah." So they said, "Hold your hand, O As'ad bin Zurarah. By Allah, we will not abandon this pledge nor will we resign from it." So we stood up and approached him, one by one, agreeing to his conditions and receiving the promise of Paradise in return.

"عن موسى بن جبير، عن شيوخٍ من أَهْلِ المدينةِ قالوا: كتب عمرُ ابن الخطاب إلى عمرو بن العاص: أما بعدُ فإنى قد فرضتُ لمن قِبَلى في الديوان ولذرِّيَّتِهم ولمن (وَرَد) علينا (بالمدينة) من أهل اليمنِ وغيرهم ممن توجَّه إليك، وإلى البلدان فانْظُرْ من فرضتُ له ونزلَ بك فأدِرْ عليه العطاءَ وعلى ذُريّته، ومن نزل بك ممن لم أفرضْ له فافرض له على نحو ما رأيتَنى فرضتُ لأَشْباههِ، وخذ لِنفْسك مائتى دينارٍ، فهذهِ فرائض أَهْلِ بدرٍ من المهاجرين والأنصارِ، ولم أُبَلِّغ بهَذا أحدًا من نُظَرائِك غيرَك؛ لأنَّك من عمَّال المسلمين فَأَلحقْتُك بأرْفَعِ ذَلك، وقد علمتَ أن مُؤْنَتَنا تَلْزمُك، فوفِّر الخَراجَ وخذْه من حقِّه، ثم عِفَّ عنه بعد جَمْعهِ، فإذا حصلَ إليك وجمعْته أخرجْتَ عطاءَ المسلمين وذُرِّيتهم، وما يُحْتاج إليه مما لابُدَّ منه، ثم انظر فيما فَضَل بعدَ ذلك فاحْمِله إلىَّ، واعلم أن ما قِبَلَك من أرضِ مصرَ ليس فيه خُمُسٌ، وإنما هى أرضُ صُلحٍ وما فيها للمسلمين فَىْءٌ، يُبْدَأُ بمنْ أَغْنى عنْهم في ثغورِهم وأجزأ عنهم في أعمالِهم، ثم تُفِيضُ ما فَضَلَ بعد ذلك على من سَمَّى اللَّه، واعلم يا عمرو أن اللَّه يراك ويرى عملك، فإنه قال: تبارك وتعالى في كتابه: {وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا} ويعلم من سريرتك ما يعلم من علانيتك فلتكن تقتدى به، وإن

"عَن صالح بن كيسان قال: لما كانتِ الرِّدَّةُ قَامَ أَبو بَكْرٍ فَحَمِد اللهَ وأَثْنَى عَلَيْه، ثُمَّ قَالَ: الْحَمْد للهِ الَّذِى هَدَى فَكَفَى، وَأَعْطَى فَأَغَنَى، إِنَّ اللهَ بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ والِعِلْمُ شرِيدٌ، والإسلامُ غَرِيبٌ طَرِيدٌ، قَدْ رَثَّ حَبْلُهُ، وخَلُقَ عهدُهُ، وَضَلَّ أَهْلُهُ عَنْهُ، وَمَقَتَ اللهُ أَهْلَ الكِتَاب فَلا يُعْطِيهم خيرًا لِخيْرٍ عندهُم، وَلَا يَصْرِف عَنْهُمْ شَرًا لشَرٍّ عندهُم وقَدْ غَيَّروُا كِتَابَهُمْ، وَأَلْحقُوا فِيهِ مَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ، والعربُ الأميُّون صُفْرٌ من الله لا يَعْبُدُونَهُ ولا يَدْعُونَهُ، أجْهَدَهم عَيْشًا وَأَضَلَّهُمْ دينًا في ظلف من الأرض. مَعَهُ فِئَةُ الصَّحَابَةِ، فجمعهم الله - بمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَجَعَلهمُ الأُمَّةَ الوُسْطَى، نَصَرَهُمْ مَن اتبعهم، ونصرهم على غيرهم، حتى قَبَضَ اللهُ نَبِيَّه ﷺ فَرَكِبَ مِنهُمُ الشَّيطَانُ مركبه الذى أنْزَلَه اللهُ عَنْهُ وَأخَذَ بأيْديهم، وَنَعَى هَلَكَتَهُمْ: {وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَفَإِنْ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْ وَمَنْ يَنْقَلِبْ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ فَلَنْ يَضُرَّ اللَّهَ شَيْئًا وَسَيَجْزِي اللَّهُ الشَّاكِرِينَ} إِنَّ من حولكم من العَربِ مَنَعُوا شَاتَهُم وَبَعِيرَهُمْ وَلمْ يَكُونُوا فىِ دِينِهِمْ، وَإِنْ رَجَعُوا إِلَيْه أَزْهَدَ منْهمُ يَوْمَهُمْ هَذَا، وَلَمْ يَكُونُوا فىِ دِينِكُمْ أَقْوى مِنْكُم يَوْمَكُم هَذَا علَى مَا فقَدْتُمْ مِنْ بَركَةِ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ وَلَقَدْ وكَلَكُمْ إِلَى الكَافِى الأول الذى وَجَدَهُ ضَالا فَهَدَاهُ، وَعائِلًا فَأَغْنَاهُ، وَكُنْتُمْ عَلَى شَفَا حُفْرَةٍ مِنَ النَّارِ فَأَنْقَذَكُمْ منْهَا، وَاللهِ لا أَدَعُ أُقَاتِلُ علَى أَمْرِ اللهِ حَتَّى يُنْجِزَ اللهُ وَعْدَهُ، وَيُوفِى لَنَا عَهْدَهُ وَيُقْتَل مَنْ قُتِلَ مِنَّا شهيدًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّة، وَيَبْقَى مَنْ بَقِى مِنَّا خَلِيفَةً وَوَارثَهُ فِى أَرْضِهِ قَضَى الله الحقَّ، وَقَوْلُه الَّذِى لا خُلفَ فيهِ {وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ} الآية. ثم نزل".
