Once we were traveling with the Prophet ﷺ and we carried on traveling till the last part of the night and then we (halted at a place) and slept (deeply). There is nothing sweeter than sleep for a traveler in the last part of the night. So it was only the heat of the sun that made us to wake up and the first to wake up was so and so, then so and so and then so and so (the narrator ʿAuf said that Abu Raja' had told him their names but he had forgotten them) and the fourth person to wake up was ʿUmar bin Al- Khattab. And whenever the Prophet ﷺ used to sleep, nobody would wake up him till he himself used to get up as we did not know what was happening (being revealed) to him in his sleep. So, ʿUmar got up and saw the condition of the people, and he was a strict man, so he said, "Allahu Akbar" and raised his voice with Takbir, and kept on saying loudly till the Prophet ﷺ got up because of it. When he got up, the people informed him about what had happened to them. He said, "There is no harm (or it will not be harmful). Depart!" So they departed from that place, and after covering some distance the Prophet ﷺ stopped and asked for some water to perform the ablution. So he performed the ablution and the call for the prayer was pronounced and he led the people in prayer. After he finished from the prayer, he saw a man sitting aloof who had not prayed with the people. He asked, "O so and so! What has prevented you from praying with us?" He replied, "I am Junub and there is no water. " The Prophet ﷺ said, "Perform Tayammum with (clean) earth and that is sufficient for you." Then the Prophet ﷺ proceeded on and the people complained to him of thirst. Thereupon he got down and called a person (the narrator ʿAuf added that Abu Raja' had named him but he had forgotten) and ʿAli, and ordered them to go and bring water. So they went in search of water and met a woman who was sitting on her camel between two bags of water. They asked, "Where can we find water?" She replied, "I was there (at the place of water) this hour yesterday and my people are behind me." They requested her to accompany them. She asked, "Where?" They said, "To Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." She said, "Do you mean the man who is called the Sabi, (with a new religion)?" They replied, "Yes, the same person. So come along." They brought her to the Prophet ﷺ and narrated the whole story. He said, "Help her to dismount." The Prophet ﷺ asked for a pot, then he opened the mouths of the bags and poured some water into the pot. Then he closed the big openings of the bags and opened the small ones and the people were called upon to drink and water their animals. So they all watered their animals and they (too) all quenched their thirst and also gave water to others and last of all the Prophet ﷺ gave a pot full of water to the person who was Junub and told him to pour it over his body. The woman was standing and watching all that which they were doing with her water. By Allah, when her water bags were returned the looked like as if they were more full (of water) than they had been before (Miracle of Messenger of Allah ﷺ) Then the Prophet ﷺ ordered us to collect something for her; so dates, flour and Sawiq were collected which amounted to a good meal that was put in a piece of cloth. She was helped to ride on her camel and that cloth full of foodstuff was also placed in front of her and then the Prophet ﷺ said to her, "We have not taken your water but Allah has given water to us." She returned home late. Her relatives asked her: "O so and so what has delayed you?" She said, "A strange thing! Two men met me and took me to the man who is called the Sabi' and he did such and such a thing. By Allah, he is either the greatest magician between this and this (gesturing with her index and middle fingers raising them towards the sky indicating the heaven and the earth) or he is Allah's true Apostle." Afterwards the Muslims used to attack the pagans around her abode but never touched her village. One day she said to her people, "I think that these people leave you purposely. Have you got any inclination to Islam?" They obeyed her and all of them embraced Islam. Abu ʿAbdullah said: The word Saba'a means "The one who has deserted his old religion and embraced a new religion." Abul 'Ailya [??] said, "The SʿAbis are a sect of people of the Scripture who recite the Book of Psalms."

Messenger of Allah ﷺ met Az-Zubair in a caravan of Muslim merchants who were returning from Sham. Az-Zubair provided Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr with white clothes to wear. When the Muslims of Medina heard the news of the departure of Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Mecca (towards Medina), they started going to the Harra every morning . They would wait for him till the heat of the noon forced them to return. One day, after waiting for a long while, they returned home, and when they went into their houses, a Jew climbed up the roof of one of the forts of his people to look for some thing, and he saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions dressed in white clothes, emerging out of the desert mirage. The Jew could not help shouting at the top of his voice, "O you 'Arabs! Here is your great man whom you have been waiting for!" So all the Muslims rushed to their arms and received Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the summit of Harra. The Prophet ﷺ turned with them to the right and alighted at the quarters of Bani 'Amr bin 'Auf, and this was on Monday in the month of Rabi-ul-Awal. Abu Bakr stood up, receiving the people while Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat down and kept silent. Some of the Ansar who came and had not seen Messenger of Allah ﷺ before, began greeting Abu Bakr, but when the sunshine fell on Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr came forward and shaded him with his sheet only then the people came to know Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed with Bani 'Amr bin 'Auf for ten nights and established the mosque (mosque of Quba) which was founded on piety. Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed in it and then mounted his she-camel and proceeded on, accompanied by the people till his she-camel knelt down at (the place of) the Mosque of Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Medina. Some Muslims used to pray there in those days, and that place was a yard for drying dates belonging to Suhail and Sahl, the orphan boys who were under the guardianship of 'Asad bin Zurara. When his she-camel knelt down, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This place, Allah willing, will be our abiding place." Messenger of Allah ﷺ then called the two boys and told them to suggest a price for that yard so that he might take it as a mosque. The two boys said, "No, but we will give it as a gift, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" Messenger of Allah ﷺ then built a mosque there. The Prophet ﷺ himself started carrying unburnt bricks for its building and while doing so, he was saying "This load is better than the load of Khaibar, for it is more pious in the Sight of Allah and purer and better rewardable." He was also saying, "O Allah! The actual reward is the reward in the Hereafter, so bestow Your Mercy on the Ansar and the Emigrants." Thus the Prophet ﷺ recited (by way of proverb) the poem of some Muslim poet whose name is unknown to me. (Ibn Shibab said, "In the Hadiths it does not occur that Allah's Apostle recited a complete poetic verse other than this one.")

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.

I went out with 'Ubaidullah bin ʿAdi Al-Khaiyar. When we reached Hims (i.e. a town in Syria), 'Ubaidullah bin ʿAdi said (to me), "Would you like to see Wahshi so that we may ask him about the killing of Hamza?" I replied, "Yes." Wahshi used to live in Hims. We enquired about him and somebody said to us, "He is that in the shade of his palace, as if he were a full water skin." So we went up to him, and when we were at a short distance from him, we greeted him and he greeted us in return. 'Ubaidullah was wearing his turban and Wahshi could not see except his eyes and feet. 'Ubaidullah said, "O Wahshi! Do you know me?" Wahshi looked at him and then said, "No, by Allah! But I know that ʿAdi bin Al-Khiyar married a woman called Um Qital, the daughter of Abu Al-Is, and she delivered a boy for him at Mecca, and I looked for a wet nurse for that child. (Once) I carried that child along with his mother and then I handed him over to her, and your feet resemble that child's feet." Then 'Ubaidullah uncovered his face and said (to Wahshi), "Will you tell us (the story of) the killing of Hamza?" Wahshi replied "Yes, Hamza killed Tuaima bin ʿAdi bin Al-Khaiyar at Badr (battle) so my master, Jubair bin Mutʿim said to me, 'If you kill Hamza in revenge for my uncle, then you will be set free." When the people set out (for the battle of Uhud) in the year of 'Ainain ..'Ainain is a mountain near the mountain of Uhud, and between it and Uhud there is a valley.. I went out with the people for the battle. When the army aligned for the fight, Siba' came out and said, 'Is there any (Muslim) to accept my challenge to a duel?' Hamza bin ʿAbdul Muttalib came out and said, 'O Siba'. O Ibn Um Anmar, the one who circumcises other ladies! Do you challenge Allah and His Apostle?' Then Hamza attacked and killed him, causing him to be non-extant like the bygone yesterday. I hid myself under a rock, and when he (i.e. Hamza) came near me, I threw my spear at him, driving it into his umbilicus so that it came out through his buttocks, causing him to die. When all the people returned to Mecca, I too returned with them. I stayed in (Mecca) till Islam spread in it (i.e. Mecca). Then I left for Taif, and when the people (of Taif) sent their messengers to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I was told that the Prophet ﷺ did not harm the messengers; So I too went out with them till I reached Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When he saw me, he said, 'Are you Wahshi?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Was it you who killed Hamza?' I replied, 'What happened is what you have been told of.' He said, 'Can you hide your face from me?' So I went out when Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, and Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab appeared (claiming to be a prophet). I said, 'I will go out to Musailamah so that I may kill him, and make amends for killing Hamza. So I went out with the people (to fight Musailamah and his followers) and then famous events took place concerning that battle. Suddenly I saw a man (i.e. Musailamah) standing near a gap in a wall. He looked like an ash-colored camel and his hair was dishevelled. So I threw my spear at him, driving it into his chest in between his breasts till it passed out through his shoulders, and then an Ansari man attacked him and struck him on the head with a sword. ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar said, 'A slave girl on the roof of a house said: Alas! The chief of the believers (i.e. Musailamah) has been killed by a black slave."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out in the year of al-Hudaibbiyyah with over ten hundreds of Companions and when he came to Dhu al Hulaifah. He garlanded and marked the sacrificial animals, and entered the sacred state of Umrah. He then went on with the tradition. The Prophet moved on and when he came to the mountain, pass by which one descends (to Mecca) to them, his riding-beast knelt down, and the people said twice: Go on, go on, al-Qaswa has become jaded. The Prophet (May peace be upon him) said: She has not become jaded and that is not a characteristic of hers, but He Who restrained the elephant has restrained her. He then said: By Him in Whose hand my soul is, they will not ask any me good thing by which they honor which God has made sacred without my giving them it. He then urged her and she leaped up and he turned aside from them, and stopped at the farthest side of al-Hudaibiyyah at a pool with little water. Meanwhile Budail bin Warqa al-Khuza’I came, and ‘Urwah bin Mas’ud joined him. He began to speak to the Prophet ﷺ. Whenever he spoke to the Prophet ﷺ, he caught his beard. Al Mughriah bin Shu’bah was standing beside the Prophet ﷺ.He had a sword with him, wearing a helmet. He (Al Mughriah) struck his (‘Urwah’s) hand with the lower end of his sheath, and said: Keep away your hand from his beard. ‘Urwah then raised his hand and asked: Who is this? They replied: Al-Mughirah bin Shu’bah. He said: O treacherous one! Did I not use my offices in your treachery? In pre-Islamic days Al-Mughirah bin Shu’bah accompanied some people and murdered them, and took their property. He then came (to the Prophet) and embraced Islam. The Prophet ﷺ said: As for Islam we accepted it, but as to the property, as it has been taken by treachery, we have no need of it. He went on with the tradition the Prophet ﷺ said: Write down: This is what Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, has decided. He then narrated the tradition. Suhail then said: And that a man will not come to you from us, even if he follows your religion, without you sending him back to us. When he finished drawing up the document, the Prophet ﷺ said to his Companions: Get up and sacrifice and then shave. Thereafter some believing women who were immigrants came. (Allah sent down: O yea who believe, when believing women come to you as emigrants). Allah most high forbade them to send them back, but ordered them to restore the dower. He then returned to Medina. Abu Basir a man from the Quraish (who was a Muslim), came to him. And they sent (two men) to look for him; so he handed him over to the two men. They took him away, and when they reached Dhu Al Hulaifah and alighted to eat some dates which they had, Abu Basir said to one of the men : I swear by Allah so-and-so, that I think this sword of yours is a fine one; the other drew the sword and said : Yes I have tried it. Abu Basir said: Let me look at it. He let him have it and he struck him till he died, whereupon the other fled and came to Medina, and running entered the mosque. The Prophet ( may peace be upon him) said: This man has seen something frightful. He said: I swear by Allah that my Companion has been killed, and im as good as dead. Abu Basir then arrived and said: Allah has fulfilled your covenant. You returned me to them, but Allah saved me from them. The Prophet ﷺ said: Woe to his mother, stirrer up of war! Would that he had someone (i.e. some kinsfolk). When he heard that he knew that he would send him back to them, so he went out and came to the seashore. Abu Jandal escaped and joined Abu Basir till a band of them collected.

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] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Makkah for ten years, following the people in their homes in 'Ukaz and Majinah, and during the seasons in Mina. He would say, "Who will shelter and support me? Who will assist me until I deliver the message of my Lord, and he will be rewarded with Paradise?" So much so that a man would come from Yemen or Egypt, and his people would warn him, saying, "Beware of the young boy from Quraysh who will deceive you." But he would walk among them and they would point at him with their fingers. Until Allah sent someone from Yathrib (Medina) and we offered him shelter and believed in him. The man would return to his people, and they would embrace Islam because of him, to the point that there was not a house in Al-Ansar (the supporters) except there were some Muslims living in it. Then, they all came together and said, "Until when shall we leave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being expelled in the mountains of Makkah and living in fear?" Seventy men of us left until we reached him in the season. We made an appointment with the tribes of Al-'Aqabah, and met him there, a group of men and a group of women. We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Why don't we give you our pledge?" He replied, "Give me your pledge based on hearing and obeying, in ease and hardship, in wealth and poverty, and to enjoin good and forbid evil. And that you will say in Allah's cause, fear no blame from anyone, and to help me rather than hinder me when I come to you. If you fulfill this, then it will be better for you before Allah." We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Rain on us your guidance." We swear by Allah, we will never abandon this pledge nor take it away. So we gave him our pledge, and he grasped the hand of As'ad bin Zurarah, who was one of the youngest among us, and said, "O people of Yathrib! We have not aimed against and attacked the backs of camels unless we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . And indeed his leaving today means the tribal fragmentation of the entire Arabs and the killing of your best people. And the swords will bite you, whether you are a people who can endure that or a people who fear from yourselves a decline, clarify it, and it will be more excuse for you before Allah." We said, "Remove from us, O As'ad!" By Allah! We will never abandon this pledge nor seize it away. So we gave him our pledge, and he made a condition and gave us Paradise in return.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spent ten years following the pilgrims in their dwellings during the pilgrimage season, at Majannah, at 'Ukaz, and in their dwellings in Mina. He would say, "Who will give me shelter? Who will assist me until I deliver the messages of my Lord, and paradise will be theirs?" He did not find anyone who would assist and shelter him. Even when a man would leave Muzdalifah or Yemen and come to their people, they would say, "Beware of the youth from Quraysh, he will lead you astray," while he walked among them and called them to Allah, pointing at them with his fingers. Until Allah sent us to him from Yathrib, a man came to him and believed in him, and he recited the Quran to him, then he returned to his family and they accepted Islam. Soon, there was no house in the dwellings of Yathrib except that it had a group of Muslims who openly displayed Islam. Then Allah completed His favor upon us, and we gathered together, seventy men from our community, and we said, "How long will the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be expelled in the mountains of Makkah and live in fear?" So we set out until we reached him during the pilgrimage season, and we made an appointment with the people of Aqabah. His uncle, Al-Abbas, said to him, "O nephew, I do not know who these people are who have come to you. I am familiar with the people of Yathrib, so we gathered with them, one man and two men. When Al-Abbas saw our faces, he said, 'These are unknown people, they are young.' We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, why should we swear allegiance to you?' He said, 'Swear allegiance to me on hearing and obeying, in times of both energy and laziness, in easy and difficult times, in promoting what is good and forbidding what is evil, and in defending me if I come to Yathrib, even if it means denying yourselves, your wives, and your children. Paradise will be yours.' So we gave him our pledge, and As'ad bin Zurarah, who was the youngest of the seventy, took his hand and said, 'By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, remove your hand from us. We will not abandon this pledge, nor will we revoke it.' So we went to him one by one, and each of us pledged allegiance to him on the terms of al-Abbas, and in return, he bestowed paradise upon us."

[Machine] He heard some of the delegation from Abd al-Qays saying, "We have come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his joy increased upon seeing us. When we reached the people, they made way for us and we sat down. The Prophet ﷺ welcomed us and prayed for us. Then he looked at us and said, "Who is your leader and chief?" We all pointed to Mundhir ibn 'Amr. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Is this the one with the scar?" It was the first day he was given this nickname because of a blow to his face with a donkey's hoof. We said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He then followed the people and assessed their resources and belongings. Then he took off his traveling clothes and put on his best clothes. He then approached the Prophet ﷺ , who had stretched out his leg and leaned on it. When Mundhir approached, the people made way for him and said, "Here is Mundhir!" The Prophet ﷺ straightened himself and sat up, welcomed him, and treated him kindly. Then he asked about his lands and named for him a village called Safa and Mashqar, among other villages. Mundhir said, "By my parents, O Messenger of Allah, you know the names of our villages." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I have already been to your lands and it has opened up to me. Then he approached the Ansar and said, "O people of the Ansar, honor your brothers, for they are like you in Islam, and they bear the closest resemblance to you in hair and appearance. They have submitted willingly, not by force or coercion, as a people who refused to submit were killed. When they woke up, the Prophet ﷺ said, "How do you see the status of your brothers and their hospitality towards you?" They replied, "They are the best brothers. They have provided us with bedding, made our food, stayed with us, and taught us the Book of our Lord and the Sunnah of our Prophet." The Prophet ﷺ was pleased and delighted with this, then he approached us one by one and asked each of us about what we had learned and taught. Some of us learned and taught greetings, the mother of the Book, and two Surahs, while others learned and taught the Sunnah and two Sunnahs. Then he turned to us and said, "Do you have any provisions with you?" The people were happy about this and rushed to prepare their belongings. Each man came with a handful of dates and placed it on a cloth in front of him, holding a piece of cloth in his hand. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you call this a variety of provisions?" We said, "Yes." Then he pointed to another handful of dates and asked, "Do you call this a pair of sandals?" We said, "Yes." Then he pointed to another handful of dates and asked, "Do you call this a gift?" We said, "

I went out with 'Ubaidullah bin ʿAdi Al-Khaiyar. When we reached Hims (i.e. a town in Syria), 'Ubaidullah bin ʿAdi said (to me), "Would you like to see Wahshi so that we may ask him about the killing of Hamza?" I replied, "Yes." Wahshi used to live in Hims. We enquired about him and somebody said to us, "He is that in the shade of his palace, as if he were a full water skin." So we went up to him, and when we were at a short distance from him, we greeted him and he greeted us in return. 'Ubaidullah was wearing his turban and Wahshi could not see except his eyes and feet. 'Ubaidullah said, "O Wahshi! Do you know me?" Wahshi looked at him and then said, "No, by Allah! But I know that ʿAdi bin Al-Khiyar married a woman called Um Qital, the daughter of Abu Al-Is, and she delivered a boy for him at Mecca, and I looked for a wet nurse for that child. (Once) I carried that child along with his mother and then I handed him over to her, and your feet resemble that child's feet." Then 'Ubaidullah uncovered his face and said (to Wahshi), "Will you tell us (the story of) the killing of Hamza?" Wahshi replied "Yes, Hamza killed Tuaima bin ʿAdi bin Al-Khaiyar at Badr (battle) so my master, Jubair bin Mutʿim said to me, 'If you kill Hamza in revenge for my uncle, then you will be set free." When the people set out (for the battle of Uhud) in the year of 'Ainain ..'Ainain is a mountain near the mountain of Uhud, and between it and Uhud there is a valley.. I went out with the people for the battle. When the army aligned for the fight, Siba' came out and said, 'Is there any (Muslim) to accept my challenge to a duel?' Hamza bin ʿAbdul Muttalib came out and said, 'O Siba'. O Ibn Um Anmar, the one who circumcises other ladies! Do you challenge Allah and His Apostle?' Then Hamza attacked and killed him, causing him to be non-extant like the bygone yesterday. I hid myself under a rock, and when he (i.e. Hamza) came near me, I threw my spear at him, driving it into his umbilicus so that it came out through his buttocks, causing him to die. When all the people returned to Mecca, I too returned with them. I stayed in (Mecca) till Islam spread in it (i.e. Mecca). Then I left for Taif, and when the people (of Taif) sent their messengers to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I was told that the Prophet ﷺ did not harm the messengers; So I too went out with them till I reached Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When he saw me, he said, 'Are you Wahshi?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Was it you who killed Hamza?' I replied, 'What happened is what you have been told of.' He said, 'Can you hide your face from me?' So I went out when Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, and Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab appeared (claiming to be a prophet). I said, 'I will go out to Musailamah so that I may kill him, and make amends for killing Hamza. So I went out with the people (to fight Musailamah and his followers) and then famous events took place concerning that battle. Suddenly I saw a man (i.e. Musailamah) standing near a gap in a wall. He looked like an ash-colored camel and his hair was dishevelled. So I threw my spear at him, driving it into his chest in between his breasts till it passed out through his shoulders, and then an Ansari man attacked him and struck him on the head with a sword. ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar said, 'A slave girl on the roof of a house said: Alas! The chief of the believers (i.e. Musailamah) has been killed by a black slave." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4072)

[Machine] He heard some delegation from the tribe of Abdul-Qais saying, "We have come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he was very pleased with our arrival. When we finished meeting with the people, they made way for us and we sat down. The Prophet ﷺ greeted us and prayed for us. Then he looked at us and said, 'Who is your leader and your chief?' So we pointed to Mujdhir ibn A'idhah. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Is this the one with the scar?' And this was the first day on which he was given this name by being struck on the face with the hoof of a camel. We said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' Then some of the people missed us and their belongings were delayed. So their riding animals and provisions were gathered and their defect was removed. The Prophet ﷺ took off their travel clothes and they wore their good clothes. Then he turned to the Prophet ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ extended his leg and supported himself. When Mujdhir approached him, the people made room for him and said, 'Here, O Mujdhir.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Sit here, O Mujdhir,' and he sat on the right side of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ greeted him and treated him kindly, and he asked him about his land and named a village for him, Safa and Mushaqar, and other villages of migration. Then he said, 'By my father and mother, O Messenger of Allah, you are better acquainted with the names of our villages than us.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Indeed, I have traversed your lands and it was extensive for me.' He said, 'Then he turned to the Ansar and said, 'O people of the Ansar, honor your brothers, for they are similar to you in Islam. The most similar thing to you is a poet. They embraced Islam willingly, not by force or compulsion. When a people refused to embrace Islam, they were killed.' He said, 'When they became the next day, he said, 'How did you find the hospitality of your brothers and their welcoming of you?' They said, 'The best of brothers are the ones who are generous, they made their homes available to us, they provided us with the best food, they slept and woke us up, and they taught us the Book of our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, and the Sunnah of our Prophet ﷺ.' The Prophet ﷺ was pleased and happy with this, and then he approached us one by one, and each of us presented what we had learned and taught. Some of us knew the greetings, the mother of the Book, and the Surah, the two Surahs, and the Sunnah. Then he approached us with his face and said, 'Do you have anything of your provisions with you?' The people were happy with this and began to present their provisions. Each of them brought handfuls of dates and put them on a piece of

[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] Afterwards, indeed, Allah created the creation, not in need of their obedience, secure from their disobedience. And the people on that day are in different situations and opinions. The Arabs inhabit those residences, the people of Hajr, the people of Wabar, and the people of Dabar. They pass by them with the goodness of this world and the abundance of their livelihoods. They do not ask Allah as a group nor do they recite His dead book. Their dead are in the fire, and their lives are blind and impure, along with countless desired and forbidden things. So when Allah intended to spread His mercy upon them, He sent to them a messenger from among themselves, noble and caring, eager for the believers. Allah's blessings, peace, mercy, and blessings be upon him. This did not stop them from harming him in his body and labeling him with names. With him was a book from Allah, speaking, that is not established except by His command and is not eliminated except with His permission. So when he was commanded to be firm and was burdened with jihad, he accepted the command of Allah. His argument was cleared, his words were approved, his call was proclaimed, and he left this world pious and pure, following the path of his companion. Then Abu Bakr succeeded him, and he followed his example and followed his path. And the Arabs or those who did that from among them returned to their previous state, except for those who refused to accept them after the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. He would not accept from them except the one who was reconcilable. He drew out his swords from their scabbards, and set fire to their kindling. Then he defeated the people of truth, the people of falsehood, but he did not sever their limbs or shed their blood until he entered them into that from which they had separated and solidified them in that from which they had departed. He had previously received a portion of Allah's wealth and used it to quench his thirst. And an Ethiopian woman who breastfed a child for him. He felt a pang in his throat when he saw that before he passed away. He attributed it to his successor and left this world pious and pure, following the path of his two companions. Then, O Umar bin Al-Khattab, you are the son of this world. Its kings nurtured you and fed you. It grew you up and you sought its benefits. But when you became its ruler, you abandoned it and left it in ruins, except for what you provide from it. So praise be to Allah who showed us your deception and relieved our distress through you. So go forth and do not turn back, for surely nothing can exalt the truth, nor humiliate falsehood. I speak these words and seek forgiveness from Allah for myself and for the believing men and believing women. Abu Ayyub said, "Umar bin Abdul Aziz would say about something, Ibn Al-Ahtam said to me, 'Go forth and do not turn back.'"

[Machine] Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ spent ten years following people in their homes during the season of Manazil, Muzdalifah, and 'Ukaz. He would ask, "Who will shelter me? Who will support me until I convey the messages of my Lord, and for him is Paradise?" Yet, he would find no one to support him or shelter him. And there would be a man who would leave from Egypt or Yemen to bring him back to his people, and they would warn him, "Beware of the young Quraishi boy who will tempt you." He would walk among their tents, calling them to Allah Almighty, and they would point at him with their fingers. Then Allah sent us from Yathrib (Medina), and the man from among us would meet him, believe in him, and teach him the Quran. He would then return to his people, and they would embrace Islam until there was not a single house among the houses of the Ansar without Muslims in it. We sent a message to Allah, and He allowed us to gather and meet. We said, "How long will the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be expelled in the mountains of Makkah and live in fear?" So we set out until we reached him in Muzdalifah during the pilgrimage season. We made an agreement with him at 'Aqabah, and his uncle, al-'Abbas, said to him, "O son of my brother, I do not know who these people who have come to you are. I have knowledge of the people of Yathrib, so we gathered with a man, and when al-'Abbas looked at our faces, he said, 'These are people we do not know. They are young men.' So we said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do we pledge allegiance to you on?' He said, 'Pledge allegiance to me on hearing and obeying, in times of energy and times of laziness, on spending in times of ease and times of hardship, on commanding good and forbidding evil, and on not blaming us for what we do in the name of Allah. Pledge allegiance to me on supporting me when I come to you, and withholding from what you withhold from yourselves, your wives, and your children. And for you is Paradise.' So we pledged allegiance to him, and Sa'd bin Zurarah, the youngest among the seventy, took his hand and said, 'O people of Yathrib, none of us withholds his hand from this pledge, and we will never quit it.' So we went to him, each man one by one, and he took our pledge to grant us Paradise."

[Machine] Zaid ibn Sa'na went out of the chambers and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ accompanied him. A man approached them on his riding beast, resembling a Bedouin. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, the people of Busra, a village of Banu Fulan, have embraced Islam and entered into the folds of Islam. I used to visit them and inform them that if they embraced Islam, they would be blessed with abundance of provision, but they have been afflicted with a year of drought, hardship, and famine. O Messenger of Allah, I fear that they might renounce Islam out of greed, just as they had entered it out of greed. If you see fit, please send them some provisions to help them. The Prophet ﷺ looked at me, and Ali ibn Abi Talib was also present. He said, 'O Messenger of Allah, there is nothing left (to give).' Zaid ibn Sa'na approached the Prophet and said, 'O Muhammad, can you sell me a known quantity of dates from the wall of Banu Fulan until a specified time?' He replied, 'No, O Jew, but I will sell you a known quantity of dates until a specified time, without mentioning the wall of Banu Fulan.' I said, 'Alright, then sell it to me, so I pledged and handed him over eighty mithqal of gold in exchange for a known quantity of dates until a specified time. The man took the gold from me and he said, 'Deal fairly with them and assist them with it.' Zaid ibn Sa'na said, 'When the time before the due date was only a day or two, I went to him and took hold of the collar of his shirt and cloak, and looked at him with an angry face. I said to him, 'Why don't you fulfill my right, O Muhammad? By Allah, your kinsmen, the Banu Abd al-Muttalib, are known for their poor administration of justice.' At that point, Umar's eyes were rolling in his head, like a rotating celestial body, and then he struck me in the chest with his gaze, saying, 'O enemy of Allah! Are you saying things about the Messenger of Allah that I'm hearing, and doing things that I'm seeing?' By He who sent him with the truth, if I were not concerned about his strength, I would have struck your head with my sword.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was looking at Umar, calmly and with a smiling face, and then he said, 'O Umar, both he and I were more in need of people commanding us to perform our duties well, and advising him to follow me well. Take him, O Umar, and give him his right, and add twenty sa' to it as a quantity of dates.' I asked, 'What is this increase, O Umar?' He said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has ordered me to add to it, an increase in proportion to your complaint.' I said, 'Do you know who I am, O Umar?' He said, 'No, who are you?' I said, 'Zaid ibn Sa'na.' Ink said, 'The scribe?' I said, 'Yes, the scribe. What did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ call me to do with him that I did not do? And what did I say to him that I did not say?' I said to him, 'O Umar, whenever he had any characteristic of prophethood, I recognized it in the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when I looked at him, except for two things that I did not mention to anyone. I said, "Does his forbearance precede his ignorance, and does his extreme ignorance overwhelm him except with forbearance?" I have experienced both of those, so I bear witness, O Umar, that I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, and with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad ﷺ as my prophet. And I bear witness to you that a portion of my wealth, and indeed I have more wealth than them, I give as charity for the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ .' Umar said, 'Or for some of them, for you have no room for all of them.' I said, 'Or for some of them.' Then Zaid returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, and I believed in him, and confirmed him, and pledged allegiance to him, and witnessed many things with him.' Then Zaid passed away during the Battle of Tabuk, while facing the enemy." May Allah have mercy on Zaid.

[Machine] "A man said, 'O Commander of the faithful, do you know this passerby?' He replied, 'No, so who is he?' He said, 'He is Suwad ibn Qarib, a man from the people of Yemen who possesses honor and high status among them. He is the one who received a dream about the appearance of the Prophet ﷺ. When Umar heard this, he became angry and said, 'Are you Suwad ibn Qarib?' He answered, 'Yes.' Umar said, 'So you are the one to whom your dream showed the appearance of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He replied, 'Yes.' Umar said, 'Then you are in the same state of soothsaying as you were before, and he became extremely angry and said, 'O Commander of the faithful, no one has ever treated me this way since I became a Muslim!' Umar said, 'By Allah, we were in a worse state of polytheism than you were in soothsaying. Inform me about your dream showing the appearance of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' He said, 'Yes, O Commander of the faithful, one night I was between being asleep and awake when a dream came to me. Someone struck me with their foot and said, "Arise, O Suwad ibn Qarib, and understand, if you are capable of understanding. Verily, the Messenger of Allah has been sent by Lu'ay ibn Ghalib, inviting people to Allah and His worship." Then he recited a poem which means, 'I am amazed by the jinn and their eavesdropping and their hard-heartedness. They quickly descended to Makkah seeking guidance. How excellent are the believing jinn, like you, compared to its disbelieving ones. So, leave for Safwa, which is a part of Hashim, and it is the name from your eyes to your head.' He said, 'I did not raise my head, but I said, 'Leave me to sleep, for I am tired.' When the second night arrived, the same thing happened. He said, 'Did I not tell you, O Suwad ibn Qarib, to arise and understand, if you are capable of understanding? Verily, the Messenger of Allah has been sent by Lu’ay ibn Ghalib, inviting people to Allah and His worship.' Then he recited a poem which means, 'I am amazed by the jinn and their news, and their hard-heartedness. They quickly descended to Makkah seeking guidance. How excellent are the believing jinn, like you, compared to its disbelieving ones. So, leave for Safwa, which is a part of Hashim, in its highlands and its barriers.' He said, 'I did not raise my head. When the third night arrived, the same thing happened. He said, 'Did I not tell you, O Suwad ibn Qarib, to arise and understand, if you are capable of understanding? Verily, the Messenger of Allah has been sent by Lu’ay ibn Ghalib, inviting people to Allah and His worship

[Machine] From his father Rifaa'ah ibn Rafee', who witnessed the Battle of Badr with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : He (the Prophet) and his cousin Mu'adh ibn 'Afra'ah went out until they reached Makkah. When they descended from Thaniyyah, they saw a man under a tree. The Prophet said, "Let us approach this man, so that we may entrust him with our belongings and make Tawaf around the Kaaba." We greeted him with the pre-Islamic form of greeting and he responded to us with the Islamic greeting. We had heard of the Prophet ﷺ , so we denied it and asked him, "Who are you?" He said, "Come down." We descended and said, "Where is the man who claims and says what he says?" He said, "I am him." So I said, "Present yourself to me." He presented Islam to us and said, "Who created the heavens, the earth, and the mountains?" We said, "Allah created them." He said, "Then who created you?" We said, "Allah created us." He said, "Then who created these idols that you worship?" We said, "We made them ourselves." He said, "The Creator is more deserving of worship than the created. You are more deserving of being worshiped, as you made them, but Allah is more deserving of being worshiped than something you made." I invite you to worship Allah alone, testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I am the Messenger of Allah. I also invite you to maintain kinship ties and refrain from oppression and transgression." We said, "By Allah, if what you are calling us to is false, then it would be among the noblest of matters and the best of characters." So we entrusted him with our belongings until we could go to the Kaaba. Mu'adh ibn 'Afra'ah sat with him and said, "I went to the Kaaba, performed Tawaf, and came out with seven cups. I gave him one of them and said, 'O Allah, if what Muhammad is calling to is true, then remove his cup seven times.'" He struck it seven times and each time, it emitted a sound. So I shouted, 'I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.' People gathered around me saying, 'This man is insane, he struck the cup seven times and it still made a sound.' I said, 'No, by Allah, he is a believer.' Then I went up to a high place in Makkah, and when Mu'adh saw me, he said, 'Indeed, Rifaa'ah has come with a face that nothing has ever harmed before.' So I came to him, believed in him, and Allah's Messenger ﷺ taught us Surah Yusuf. We recited, "In the name of your Lord who created" until we reached the verse, "We will return to our family." When we were in 'Aqiq, Mu'adh said, 'I have never spent a night away from my family before, so let me stay here until morning.' So I spent the night with him and I had never done what I did before. Rifaa'ah would always present himself to his people after returning from a journey.

We went to Jabir b. Abdullah and he began inquiring about the people (who had gone to see him) till it was my turn. I said: I am Muhammad b. 'Ali b. Husain. He placed his hand upon my head and opened my upper button and then the lower one and then placed his palm on my chest (in order to bless me), and I was, during those days, a young boy, and he said: You are welcome, my nephew. Ask whatever you want to ask. And I asked him but as he was blind (he could not respond to me immediately), and the time for prayer came. He stood up covering himself in his mantle. And whenever he placed its ends upon his shoulders they slipped down on account of being short (in size). Another mantle was, however, lying on the clothes rack near by. And he led us in the prayer. I said to him: Tell me about the Hajj of Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him). And he pointed with his hand nine, and then stated: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in (Medina) for nine years but did not perform Hajj, then he made a public announcement in the tenth year to the effect that Messenger of Allah ﷺ was about to perform the Hajj. A large number of persons came to Medina and all of them were anxious to follow the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) and do according to his doing. We set out with him till we reached Dhu'l-Hulaifa. Asma' daughter of Umais gave birth to Muhammad b. Abu Bakr. She sent message to the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) asking him: What should 1 do? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Take a bath, bandage your private parts and put on Ihram. The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) then prayed in the mosque and then mounted al-Qaswa (his she-camel) and it stood erect with him on its back at al-Baida'. And I saw as far as I could see in front of me but riders and pedestrians, and also on my right and on my left and behind me like this. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was prominent among us and the (revelation) of the Holy Qur'an was descending upon him. And it is he who knows (its true) significance. And whatever he did, we also did that. He pronounced the Oneness of Allah (saying):" Labbaik,0 Allah, Labbaik, Labbaik. Thou hast no partner, praise and grace is Thine and the Sovereignty too; Thou hast no partner." And the people also pronounced this Talbiya which they pronounce (today). The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) did not reject anything out of it. But the Messenger of Allah (May peace. be upon him) adhered to his own Talbiya. Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) said: We did not have any other intention but that of Hajj only, being unaware of the Umra (at that season), but when we came with him to the House, he touched the pillar and (made seven circuits) running three of them and walking four. And then going to the Station of Ibrahim, he recited:" And adopt the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer." And this Station was between him and the House. My father said (and I do not know whether he had made a mention of it but that was from Allah's Apostle [May peace be upon him] that he recited in two rak'ahs:" say: He is Allah One," and say:" Say: 0 unbelievers." He then returned to the pillar (Hajar Aswad) and kissed it. He then went out of the gate to al-Safa' and as he reached near it he recited:" Al-Safa' and al-Marwa are among the signs appointed by Allah," (adding: ) I begin with what Allah (has commanded me) to begin. He first mounted al-Safa' till he saw the House, and facing Qibla he declared the Oneness of Allah and glorified Him, and said:" There is no god but Allah, One, there is no partner with Him. His is the Sovereignty. to Him praise is due. and He is Powerful over everything. There is no god but Allah alone, Who fulfilled His promise, helped His servant and routed the confederates alone." He then made supplication in the course of that saying such words three times. He then descended and walked towards al-Marwa, and when his feet came down in the bottom of the valley, he ran, and when he began to ascend he walked till he reached al-Marwa. There he did as he had done at al-Safa'. And when it was his last running at al-Marwa he said: If I had known beforehand what I have come to know afterwards, I would not have brought sacrificial animals and would have performed an 'Umra. So, he who among you has not the sacrificial animals with him should put off Ihram and treat it as an Umra. Suraqa b. Malik b. Ju'sham got up and said: Messenger of Allah, does it apply to the present year, or does it apply forever? Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) intertwined the fingers (of one hand) into another and said twice: The 'Umra has become incorporated in the Hajj (adding):" No, but for ever and ever." 'All came from the Yemen with the sacrificial animals for the Prophet (May peace be upon him) and found Fatimah (Allah be pleased with her) to be one among those who had put off Ihram and had put on dyed clothes and had applied antimony. He (Hadrat'Ali) showed disapproval to it, whereupon she said: My father has commanded me to do this. He (the narrator) said that 'Ali used to say in Iraq: I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ showing annoyance at Fatimah for what she had done, and asked the (verdict) of Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding what she had narrated from him, and told him that I was angry with her, whereupon he said: She has told the truth, she has told the truth. (The Prophet then asked 'Ali): What did you say when you undertook to go for Hajj? I ('Ali) said: 0 Allah, I am putting on Ihram for the same purpose as Thy Messenger has put it on. He said: I have with me sacrificial animals, so do not put off the Ihram. He (Jabir) said: The total number of those sacrificial animals brought by 'Ali from the Yemen and of those brought by the Apostle ﷺ was one hundred. Then all the people except the Apostle ﷺ and those who had with them sacrificial animals, put off Ihram, and got their hair clipped; when it was the day of Tarwiya (8th of Dhu'l-Hijja) they went to Mina and put on the Ihram for Hajj and the Messenger of Ailah ﷺ rode and led the noon, afternoon, sunset 'Isha' and dawn prayers. He then waited a little till the sun rose, and commanded that a tent of hair should be pitched at Namira. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then set out and the Quraish did not doubt that he would halt at al-Mash'ar al-Haram (the sacred site) as the Quraish used to do in the pre-Islamic period. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, however, passed on till he came to 'Arafa and he found that the tent had been pitched for him at Namira. There he got down till the sun had passed the meridian; he commanded that al-Qaswa should be brought and saddled for him. Then he came to the bottom of the valley, and addressed the people saying: Verily your blood, your property are as sacred and inviolable as the sacredness of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this town of yours. Behold! Everything pertaining to the Days of Ignorance is under my feet completely abolished. Abolished are also the blood-revenges of the Days of Ignorance. The first claim of ours on blood-revenge which I abolish is that of the son of Rabi'a b. al-Harith, who was nursed among the tribe of Sa'd and killed by Hudhail. And the usury of she pre-Islamic period is abolished, and the first of our usury I abolish is that of 'Abbas b. 'Abd al-Muttalib, for it is all abolished. Fear Allah concerning women! Verily you have taken them on the security of Allah, and intercourse with them has been made lawful unto you by words of Allah. You too have right over them, and that they should not allow anyone to sit on your bed whom you do not like. But if they do that, you can chastise them but not severely. Their rights upon you are that you should provide them with food and clothing in a fitting manner. I have left among you the Book of Allah, and if you hold fast to it, you would never go astray. And you would be asked about me (on the Day of Resurrection), (now tell me) what would you say? They (the audience) said: We will bear witness that you have conveyed (the message), discharged (the ministry of Prophethood) and given wise (sincere) counsel. He (the narrator) said: He (the Holy Prophet) then raised his forefinger towards the sky and pointing it at the people (said):" O Allah, be witness. 0 Allah, be witness," saying it thrice. (Bilal then) pronounced Adhan and later on Iqama and he (the Holy Prophet) led the noon prayer. He (Bilal) then uttered Iqama and he (the Holy Prophet) led the afternoon prayer and he observed no other prayer in between the two. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then mounted his camel and came to the place of stay, making his she-camel al-Qaswa, turn towards the side where there we are rocks, having the path taken by those who went on foot in front of him, and faced the Qibla. He kept standing there till the sun set, and the yellow light had somewhat gone, and the disc of the sun had disappeared. He made Usama sit behind him, and he pulled the nosestring of Qaswa so forcefully that its head touched the saddle (in order to keep her under perfect control), and he pointed out to the people with his right hand to be moderate (in speed), and whenever he happened to pass over an elevated tract of sand, he slightly loosened it (the nose-string of his camel) till she climbed up and this is how he reached al-Muzdalifa. There he led the evening and 'Isha prayers with one Adhan and two Iqamas and did not glorify (Allah) in between them (i. e. he did not observe supererogatory rak'ahs between Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then lay down till dawn and offered the dawn prayer with an Adhan and Iqama when the morning light was clear. He again mounted al-Qaswa, and when he came to al-Mash'ar al-Haram, he faced towards Qibla, supplicated Him, Glorified Him, and pronounced His Uniqueness (La ilaha illa Allah) and Oneness, and kept standing till the daylight was very clear. He then went quickly before the sun rose, and seated behind him was al-Fadl b. 'Abbas and he was a man having beautiful hair and fair complexion and handsome face. As the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) was moving on, there was also going a group of women (side by side with them). Al-Fadl began to look at them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed his hand on the face of Fadl who then turned his face to the other side, and began to see, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned his hand to the other side and placed it on the face of al-Fadl. He again turned his face to the other side till he came to the bottom of Muhassir. 1680 He urged her (al-Qaswa) a little, and, following the middle road, which comes out at the greatest jamra, he came to the jamra which is near the tree. At this be threw seven small pebbles, saying Allah-o-Akbar while throwing every one of them in a manner in which the small pebbles are thrown (with the help of fingers) and this he did in the bottom of the valley. He then went to the place of sacrifice, and sacrificed sixty-three (camels) with his own hand. Then he gave the remaining number to 'All who sacrificed them, and he shared him in his sacrifice. He then commanded that a piece of flesh from each animal sacrificed should be put in a pot, and when it was cooked, both of them (the Prophet and Hadrat 'All) took some meat out of it and drank its soup. The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) again rode and came to the House, and offered the Zuhr prayer at Mecca. He came to the tribe of Abd al-Muttalib, who were supplying water at Zamzam, and said: Draw water. O Bani 'Abd al-Muttalib; were it not that people would usurp this right of supplying water from you, I would have drawn it along with you. So they handed him a basket and he drank from it.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Mecca for seven years, following the people to their homes in Okaz, Majannah, and the seasons in Mina. He would say, "Who will provide shelter and support me until I convey the messages of my Lord?" Even the people from Yemen or Egypt would come to him, and their clans would warn them, saying, "Beware of the boy from Quraysh who may deceive you." He would walk among them as they pointed at him with their fingers. Then Allah sent support from Yathrib and we provided him refuge and believed in him. The man would leave us, and upon returning to his people he would deliver Islam to them, and they would embrace it until there was no house left in the houses of the Ansar without some Muslims living in it, openly practicing Islam. Then we gathered and said, "How long will we let the Prophet ﷺ be expelled and live in fear in the mountains of Mecca?" So seventy of us set out until we reached him during the pilgrimage season, and we pledged allegiance to him at Al-Aqaba. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, for what reason should we pledge allegiance to you?" He said, "Pledge allegiance to me to listen and obey in times of energy or laziness, hardship or ease, to spend in times of difficulty or abundance, to enjoy what is good and forbid what is evil, and to not care about the blame of the blamers, and to support and protect me just as you would protect yourselves, your wives, and your children, and Paradise will be yours." So we stood up and pledged allegiance to him. Sa'd ibn Zurarah, the youngest among us, held his hand and said, "O people of Yathrib, we have not even struck the backs of camels unless we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah, and that his expulsion today is a dispute for all the Arabs, and the killing of your best men, and the swords are about to reach you. So either you endure that and your reward will be with Allah, or you fear for yourselves and show your weakness. Clarify your choice, for it is easier for you." They said, "Remove this doubt, for by Allah, we will never abandon this pledge." So we pledged allegiance to him, and he placed conditions for us to be given Paradise in return.  

مَكَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ سَبْعَ * سِنِينَ يَتَتَبَّعُ النَّاسَ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ بِعُكَاظَ وَمَجَنَّةَ وَالْمَوَاسِمِ بِمِنًى يَقُولُ «مَنْ يُؤْوِينِي وَيَنْصُرَنِي حَتَّى أُبَلِّغَ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي؟ » حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لِيَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ أَوْ مِنْ مِصْرَ فَيَأْتِيهُ قَوْمُهُ فَيَقُولُونَ احْذَرْ غُلَامَ قُرَيْشٍ لَا يَفْتِنُكَ وَيَمْشِي بَيْنَ رِحَالِهِمْ وَهُمْ يُشِيرُونَ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ حَتَّى بَعَثَنَا اللَّهُ مِنْ يَثْرِبَ فَآوَيْنَاهُ وَصَدَّقْنَاهُ فَيَخْرُجُ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا وَيُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَيُقْرِئُهُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَيُسْلِمُونَ بِإِسْلَامِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ دَارٌ مِنْ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَّا فِيهَا رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يُظْهِرُونَ الْإِسْلَامَ ثُمَّ إِنَّا اجْتَمَعْنَا فَقُلْنَا حَتَّى مَتَى نَتْرُكُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُطْرَدُ فِي جِبَالِ مَكَّةَ وَيَخَافُ؟ ‍ فَرَحَلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا حَتَّى قَدِمُوا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ فَوَاعَدْنَاهُ بَيْعَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ فَاجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَهَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَرَجُلَيْنِ حَتَّى تَوَافَيْنَا فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَامَ نُبَايِعُكَ؟ قَالَ «تُبَايعُونِي عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ فِي النَّشَاطِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالنَّفَقَةِ فِي الْعُسْرِ وَالْيُسْرِ وَعَلَى الْأَمْرِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَأَنْ يَقُولَهَا لَا يُبَالِي فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ وَعَلَى أَنْ تَنْصُرُونِيَ وَتَمْنَعُونِي إِذَا قَدِمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِمَّا تَمْنَعُونَ مِنْهُ أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجَكُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَلَكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ» فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ أَسْعَدُ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ وَهُوَ مِنْ أَصْغَرِهِمْ فَقَالَ رُوَيْدًا يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ فَإِنَّا لَمْ نَضْرِبْ أَكْبَادَ الْإِبِلِ إِلَّا وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَّ إِخْرَاجَهُ الْيَوْمَ مُنَازَعَةُ الْعَرَبِ كَافَّةً وَقَتْلُ خِيَارِكُمْ وَأَنْ تَعَضَّكُمُ السُّيُوفُ فَإِمَّا أَنْ تَصْبِرُوا عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَأَجْرُكُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَإِمَّا أَنْتُمْ تَخَافُونَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ جُبْنًا فَبَيِّنُوا ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ أَعْذَرُ لَكُمْ فَقَالُوا أَمِطْ عَنَّا فَوَاللَّهِ لَا نَدَعُ هَذِهِ الْبَيْعَةَ أَبَدًا فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ فَأَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا وَشَرَطَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَنَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْجَنَّةَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ stayed for ten years, tracing people in their homes during the season, in Muhjanah, 'Ukaz, and in their homes in Mina. He would say, 'Who will shelter me and support me until I deliver the messages of my Lord, and Paradise will be his?' But he ﷺ did not find anyone to support or shelter him until a man would leave Egypt or Yemen and his people would come to him and say, 'Beware of the Quraysh boy who walks among their caravans, inviting them to Allah.' They would point him out until Allah sent to him someone from Yathrib (Madina). The man would come to him, believe in him, and recite the Qur'an to him. Then he would return to his people, and they would embrace Islam until there was not a single house in Yathrib without a group of Muslims openly practicing Islam. They (the Muslims) consulted with each other and said, 'How long will the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be expelled and in fear in the mountains of Makkah?' So we set off until we reached him during the season. The people of 'Aqabah promised him and 'Abbas, his uncle, addressed the people of Yathrib, saying, 'O people of Yathrib, we gathered with him by a man and two men. When he looked at our faces, he said, 'These are people I don't know, they are young people.' We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you want us to pledge allegiance to you upon?' He said, 'Pledge allegiance to me upon hearing and obeying, in times of ease and difficulty, in matters of expenditure and hardship, and in commanding good and forbidding evil. And that you do not reproach me about Allah if you are not pleased with something, and that you support me when I come to you, denying me what you deny yourselves, your wives, and your children. Paradise will be yours.' So we pledged allegiance to him, and he took the hand of As'ad bin Zurarah, who was the youngest of the seventy except me. He said, 'O people of Yathrib, we never struck the liver of any animal except that we knew he was the Messenger of Allah, and his expulsion today is the separation of all the Arab tribes, and the killing of your best men. If you wish, you bear this burden and the reward will be with Allah, and if you fear for your own selves, leave him alone, for he is the most deserving to be excused before Allah.' They said, 'O As'ad, remove your hand from us. By Allah, we will not abandon this pledge nor break it.' So a man stood up and took the hand of 'Abbas, and guaranteed its fulfillment with Paradise.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَبِثَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ يَتَتَبَّعُ النَّاسَ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ وَمَجَنَّةَ وَعُكَاظٍ وَفِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ بِمِنًى يَقُولُ «مَنْ يُؤْوِينِي وَيَنْصُرُنِي حَتَّى أُبَلِّغَ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي وَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ؟ » فَلَا يَجِدُ ﷺ أَحَدًا يَنْصُرُهُ وَلَا يُؤْوِيهِ حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَرْحَلُ مِنْ مِصْرَ أَوْ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ إِلَى ذِي رَحِمِهِ فَيَأْتِيهِ قَوْمُهُ فَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ احْذَرْ غُلَامَ قُرَيْشٍ لَا يَفْتِنْكَ وَيَمْشِي بَيْنَ رِحَالِهِمْ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ فَيُشِيرُونَ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ حَتَّى بَعَثَنَا اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنْ يَثْرِبَ فَيَأْتِيهِ الرَّجُلُ فَيُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَيُقْرِئُهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَيُسْلِمُونَ بِإِسْلَامِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ دَارٌ مِنْ دُورِ يَثْرِبَ إِلَّا وَفِيهَا رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يُظْهِرُونَ الْإِسْلَامَ فَائْتَمَرَنَا وَاجْتَمَعْنَا فَقُلْنَا حَتَّى مَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُطْرَدُ فِي جِبَالِ مَكَّةَ وَيَخَافُ؟ فَرَحَلْنَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ فَوَاعَدَنَا شِعْبَ الْعَقَبَةِ فَقَالَ عَمُّهُ الْعَبَّاسُ يَا * أَهْلِ يَثْرِبَ فَاجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَهُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَرَجُلَيْنِ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ * فِي وجُوهِنَا قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ لَا أَعْرِفُهُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ أَحْدَاثٌ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَى مَا نُبَايِعُكَ؟ قَالَ «تُبَايعُونِي عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ فِي النَّشَاطِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَعَلَى النَّفَقَةِ فِي الْعُسْرِ وَالْيُسْرِ وَعَلَى الْأَمْرِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَعَلَى أَنْ تَقُولُوا فِي اللَّهِ لَا يَأْخُذْكُمْ فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةُ لَائِمٍ وَعَلَى أَنْ تَنْصُرُونِي إِذَا قَدِمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَمْنَعُونِي مَا تَمْنَعُونَ مِنْهُ أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجَكُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ فَلَكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ» فَقُمْنَا نُبَايِعُهُ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ أَسْعَدُ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُ السَّبْعِينَ إِلَّا أَنَا قَالَ رُوَيْدًا يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ إِنَّا لَمْ نَضْرِبْ إِلَيْهِ أَكْبَادَ الْمَطِيِّ إِلَّا وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِنَّ إِخْرَاجَهُ الْيَوْمَ مُفَارَقَةُ الْعَرَبِ كَافَّةً وَقَتْلَ خِيَارِكُمْ وَأَنْ تَعَضَّكُمُ السُّيُوفُ فَإِمَّا أَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَصْبِرُونَ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا مَسَّتْكُمْ وَعَلَى قَتْلِ خِيَارِكُمْ وَمُفَارَقَةِ الْعَرَبِ كَافَّةً فَخُذُوهُ وَأَجْرُكُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَإِمَّا أَنْتُمْ تَخَافُونَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ خِيفَةً فَذَرُوهُ فَهُوَ أَعْذَرُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ قَالُوا يَا أَسْعَدُ أَمِطْ عَنَّا يَدَكَ فَوَاللَّهِ لَا نَذَرُ هَذِهِ الْبَيْعَةَ وَلَا نَسْتَقِيلُهَا قَالَ فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ رَجُلٌ فَأَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا شَرِيطَةَ الْعَبَّاسِ وَضَمِنَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْجَنَّةَ  

I went out with 'Ubaidullah bin ʿAdi Al-Khaiyar. When we reached Hims (i.e. a town in Syria), 'Ubaidullah bin ʿAdi said (to me), "Would you like to see Wahshi so that we may ask him about the killing of Hamza?" I replied, "Yes." Wahshi used to live in Hims. We enquired about him and somebody said to us, "He is that in the shade of his palace, as if he were a full water skin." So we went up to him, and when we were at a short distance from him, we greeted him and he greeted us in return. 'Ubaidullah was wearing his turban and Wahshi could not see except his eyes and feet. 'Ubaidullah said, "O Wahshi! Do you know me?" Wahshi looked at him and then said, "No, by Allah! But I know that ʿAdi bin Al-Khiyar married a woman called Um Qital, the daughter of Abu Al-Is, and she delivered a boy for him at Mecca, and I looked for a wet nurse for that child. (Once) I carried that child along with his mother and then I handed him over to her, and your feet resemble that child's feet." Then 'Ubaidullah uncovered his face and said (to Wahshi), "Will you tell us (the story of) the killing of Hamza?" Wahshi replied "Yes, Hamza killed Tuaima bin ʿAdi bin Al-Khaiyar at Badr (battle) so my master, Jubair bin Mutʿim said to me, 'If you kill Hamza in revenge for my uncle, then you will be set free." When the people set out (for the battle of Uhud) in the year of 'Ainain ..'Ainain is a mountain near the mountain of Uhud, and between it and Uhud there is a valley.. I went out with the people for the battle. When the army aligned for the fight, Siba' came out and said, 'Is there any (Muslim) to accept my challenge to a duel?' Hamza bin ʿAbdul Muttalib came out and said, 'O Siba'. O Ibn Um Anmar, the one who circumcises other ladies! Do you challenge Allah and His Apostle?' Then Hamza attacked and killed him, causing him to be non-extant like the bygone yesterday. I hid myself under a rock, and when he (i.e. Hamza) came near me, I threw my spear at him, driving it into his umbilicus so that it came out through his buttocks, causing him to die. When all the people returned to Mecca, I too returned with them. I stayed in (Mecca) till Islam spread in it (i.e. Mecca). Then I left for Taif, and when the people (of Taif) sent their messengers to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I was told that the Prophet ﷺ did not harm the messengers; So I too went out with them till I reached Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When he saw me, he said, 'Are you Wahshi?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Was it you who killed Hamza?' I replied, 'What happened is what you have been told of.' He said, 'Can you hide your face from me?' So I went out when Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, and Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab appeared (claiming to be a prophet). I said, 'I will go out to Musailamah so that I may kill him, and make amends for killing Hamza. So I went out with the people (to fight Musailamah and his followers) and then famous events took place concerning that battle. Suddenly I saw a man (i.e. Musailamah) standing near a gap in a wall. He looked like an ash-colored camel and his hair was dishevelled. So I threw my spear at him, driving it into his chest in between his breasts till it passed out through his shoulders, and then an Ansari man attacked him and struck him on the head with a sword. ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar said, 'A slave girl on the roof of a house said: Alas! The chief of the believers (i.e. Musailamah) has been killed by a black slave." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4072)

[Machine] Zaid bin Saanah went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day from the chambers, and Ali bin Abi Talib was with him. So a man came to him on his riding animal, like a Bedouin, and said, "O Messenger of Allah, the people of Busr have embraced Islam and entered into Islam, and I had informed them that if they embraced Islam, sustenance would come to them in abundance. But they have been afflicted with a year of drought, hardship, and scarcity of rain. So I fear, O Messenger of Allah, that they may leave Islam when they had entered into it due to greed. So if you see fit to send something to them that would assist them, then do so." So he looked at a man who was beside him and who appeared to be Ali. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, there is nothing left of mine." Zaid bin Saanah approached him and said, "O Muhammad, can you sell me a certain known amount of dates from the wall of the people of so-and-so to a specified date?" So he said, "No, O Jew, but I will sell you a certain known amount of dates to a specified date, and do not refer to it as the wall of the people of so-and-so." I said, "Yes." So he pledged allegiance to me and I released my anxiety. I gave him eighty Mithqal of gold in specified dates to a specified date, and the man took them and said, "Take this to them and assist them with it." Zaid bin Saanah said, "When it was a day or two before the appointed date, I went to him and took hold of the collar of his garment and his cloak, and I looked at him sternly and said, 'Will you not fulfill my right, O Muhammad?' By Allah, I did not recognize you when I looked at your face. His eyes were spinning in his head like planets, and then he hit me with his eye and said, 'O enemy of Allah, you speak to the Messenger of Allah with what I have not heard, and you do with him what I do not see. By the One who sent him with the truth, were it not for what I fear, I would strike your head with my sword.' And the Messenger of Allah looked at Umar in calmness and patience and then said, 'O Umar, he and I were more in need of something other than what you ordered me for good performance of duty and what you ordered him for good following. Take him away, O Umar, and give him his right and increase him twenty Sa' of dates in place of your frightening him.'" Zaid said, "So Umar took me away and gave me my right and increased me twenty Sa' of dates. So I said, 'What is this increase, O Umar?' He said, 'The Messenger of Allah has ordered me to increase you with what I frightened you with.' I said, 'And do you recognize me, O Umar?' He said, 'No, who are you?' I said, 'I am Zaid bin Saanah.'" Zaid said, "Al-Habr (Abu Bakr) said, 'By Allah, you have done with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ what I would not have done, and you have said to him what I would not have said.' I said, 'O Abu Bakr, whatever sign of prophethood was there, I recognized it in the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when I looked at him, except for two signs that I did not tell him about. His forbearance overcame his ignorance, and no ignorance overcame his forbearance. For I had informed him about them, so I bear witness to you, O Umar, that I have accepted Allah as my Lord, and Islam as my religion, and Muhammad as the Messenger, and I bear witness to you that half of my wealth, and indeed it is the majority of it, shall be given in charity for the Ummah of Muhammad." Umar said, "Or some among them, as you cannot handle giving it all." I said, "Or some among them." So Umar and Zaid went back to the Messenger of Allah and Zaid said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, and I believe in him and confirm him and pledge allegiance to him. And I have witnessed many scenes along with him." Then Zaid was martyred in the Battle of Tabuk, facing the enemy, may Allah have mercy on Zaid.  

زَيْدُ بْنُ سَعْنَةَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا مِنَ الْحُجُرَاتِ وَمَعَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ كَالْبَدَوِيِّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ بُصْرَى قَرْيَةَ بَنِي فُلَانٍ قَدْ أَسْلَمُوا وَدَخَلُوا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَكُنْتُ حَدَّثَتْهُمْ إِنْ أَسْلَمُوا أَتَاهُمُ الرِّزْقُ رَغَدًا وَقَدْ أَصَابَتْهُمْ سَنَةٌ وَشِدَّةٌ وقُحُوطٌ مِنَ الْغَيْثِ فَأَنَا أَخْشَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ طَمَعًا كَمَا دَخَلُوا فِيهِ طَمَعًا فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِشَيْءٍ تُعِينُهُمْ بِهِ فَعَلْتَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ إِلَى جَانِبِهِ أُرَاهُ عَلِيًّا ؓ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ سَعْنَةَ فَدَنَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَبِيعَنِي تَمْرًا مَعْلُومًا مِنْ حَائِطِ بَنِي فُلَانٍ إِلَى أَجْلِ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ فَقَالَ «لَا يَا يَهُودِيُّ وَلَكِنِّي أَبِيعُكَ تَمْرًا مَعْلُومًا إِلَى أَجْلِ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَلَا تُسَمِّي حَائِطَ بَنِي فُلَانٍ» قُلْتُ بَلَى فَبَايَعَنِي فَأَطْلَقْتُ هِمْيَانِي فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ ثَمَانِينَ مِثْقَالًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِي تَمْرٍ مَعْلُومٍ إِلَى أَجْلِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَأَعْطَاهَا الرَّجُلَ فَقَالَ «اغْدُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَعِنْهُمْ بِهَا» فَقَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ سَعْنَةَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ قَبْلَ مَحَلِّ الْأَجَلِ بِيَوْمَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثٍ أَتَيْتُهُ فَأَخَذْتُ بِمَجَامِعِ قَمِيصِهِ وَرِدَائِهِ وَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِوَجْهٍ غَلِيظٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَلَا تَقْضِيَنِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ حَقِّي؟ فَوَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُكُمْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ لَمَطْلٌ وَلَقَدْ كَانَ لِي بِمُخَالَطَتِكُمْ عَلِمٌ وَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى عُمَرَ وَإِذَا عَيْنَاهُ تَدُورَانِ فِي وَجْهِهِ كالْفَلَكِ الْمُسْتَدِيرِ ثُمَّ رَمَانِي بِبَصَرِهِ فَقَالَ يَا عَدُوَّ اللهِ أَتَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا أَسْمَعُ وَتَصْنَعُ بِهِ مَا أَرَى فَوَالَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ لَوْلَا مَا أُحَاذِرُ فَوْتَهُ لَضَرَبْتُ بِسَيْفِي رَأْسَكَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى عُمَرَ فِي سُكُونٍ وتُؤَدَةٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا عُمَرُ أَنَا وَهُوَ كُنَّا أَحْوَجَ إِلَى غَيْرِ هَذَا أَنْ تَأْمُرَنِي بِحُسْنِ الْأَدَاءِ وتَأْمُرَهُ بِحُسْنِ التِّبَاعَةِ اذْهَبْ بِهِ يَا عُمَرُ وأَعْطِهِ حَقَّهُ وَزِدْهُ عِشْرِينَ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ مَكَانَ مَا رَوَّعْتَهُ» قَالَ زَيْدٌ فَذَهَبَ بِي عُمَرُ ؓ فَأَعْطَانِي حَقِّي وَزَادَنِي عِشْرِينَ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةُ يَا عُمَرُ؟ فَقَالَ أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ أَزِيدَكَ مَكَانَ مَا رَوَّعْتُكَ قُلْتُ وتَعْرِفُنِي يَا عُمَرُ؟ قَالَ لَا مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قُلْتُ أَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ سَعْنَةَ قَالَ الْحَبْرُ قُلْتُ الْحَبْرُ قَالَ فَمَا دَعَاكَ أَنْ فَعَلْتَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا فَعَلْتَ وَقُلْتَ لَهُ مَا قُلْتَ؟ قُلْتُ يَا عُمَرُ لَمْ تَكُنْ مِنْ عَلَامَاتِ النُّبُوَّةِ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا وَقَدْ عَرَفْتُهُ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ نَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ إِلَّا اثْنَتَيْنِ لَمْ أَخْبُرْهُمَا مِنْهُ يَسْبِقُ حِلْمُهُ جَهْلَهُ وَلَا يَزِيدُهُ الْجَهْلُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا حِلْمًا فَقَدْ أُخْبِرْتُهُمَا فَأُشْهِدُكَ يَا عُمَرُ أَنِّي قَدْ رَضِيتُ بِاللهِ رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا وَأُشْهِدُكَ أَنَّ شَطْرَ مَالِي وَإِنِّي أَكْثَرُهَا مَالًا صَدَقَةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ أَوْ عَلَى بَعْضِهِمْ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَسَعُهُمْ قُلْتُ أَوْ عَلَى بَعْضِهِمْ فَرَجَعَ عُمَرُ وَزَيْدٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ زَيْدٌ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ﷺ وَآمَنَ بِهِ وَصَدَّقَهُ وَبَايَعَهُ وَشَهِدَ مَعَهُ مَشَاهِدَ كَثِيرَةً ثُمَّ تُوُفِّي زَيْدٌ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ مُقْبِلًا غَيْرَ مُدْبِرٍ رَحِمَ اللهُ زَيْدًا  

[Machine] "And the Messenger ﷺ settled with the tribe of Qurayzah until they asked him to appoint a judge between him and them. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Choose from my Companions whom you want, and we will listen to his words.' So they chose Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was pleased with their choice. He commanded them to bring their weapons, and they were placed in a house. He ordered them to shave their heads and to tie themselves up, so they were placed in the home of Usamah ibn Zayd. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for Sa'd ibn Mu'adh and he arrived riding on a donkey with an Arab man who claimed that his donkey's hooves were wounded from the roughness of the ground. Sa'd walked beside him, extolling the rights of the tribe of Qurayzah, reminding them of their oath, and how they were put to test on the Day of Bi'thah (Pledge of Allegiance). They chose you above others in hopes of your mercy and compassion towards them. So hasten to them, for they are assets to you and they are numerous.' This man repeated this many times, and Sa'd did not respond to him until they came closer. The man asked him, 'Will you not turn back and do something to me?' Sa'd replied, 'By Allah, I do not care for the blame of anyone for the sake of Allah.' So the man left and went back to his people in despair, informing them of what Sa'd told him. They thought that Sa'd had refused to speak to them, so they sent him with a message to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'O Sa'd, judge between us and them.' Sa'd said, 'I judge that their fighters should be killed, their women and children taken as captives, and their wealth seized.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Sa'd has given judgement with the judgement of Allah.' Some people claim that they were not content with the judgement of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent back the jurisdiction of the matter to Sa'd ibn Mu'adh. They sent messengers to Sa'd one after the other and their heads were struck off. The last one to be killed was Huwayy ibn Akhtab. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'May Allah disgrace you!' Huwayy replied, 'You have come to know me well, and I do not blame myself regarding you.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered for him to be taken out to the oil market and his head was struck off. All of this was done by the command of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, and it is claimed that Sa'd was acquitted from any guilt. He took refuge behind Allah's oath of innocence. Then he supplicated to Allah saying, 'O Allah, Lord of the skies and the earth, there is no people on the face of the earth whom I hate more than those who lied against Your Messenger and expelled him. I think that You have put an end to the fighting between us and them. If there is any fighting left between us, then let me fight them in You. And if You have put an end to the fighting between us and them, then cause this spot to be destroyed and let me die here.' So Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, caused the spot to be destroyed, and he died right there. The statement of Allah (in the Quran) was fulfilled, and Allah's mercy be upon him."

[Machine] Zaid bin Sa'na went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day from the chambers, and with him was Ali bin Abi Talib. Then a man came to him riding a camel like a Bedouin, and he said: "O Messenger of Allah, the people of the village of Banu Fulan have embraced Islam and entered into Islam, and I have told them that if they embrace Islam, provision will come to them in abundance. However, they have been afflicted with a year of drought, hardship, and scarcity of rain. So, I fear, O Messenger of Allah, that they will leave Islam out of greed just as they entered it out of greed. If you see fit to send something to them that will help them, then do so." Then the Messenger of Allah glanced at a man beside him, whom I think was Ali, and said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, there is nothing left of it." So, Zaid bin Sa'na approached him and said: "O Muhammad, can you sell me some dates for a known time in the wall of Banu Fulan for such and such a period?" He responded: "No, O Jew, but I will sell you some dates for a known time for such and such a period, and do not mention the wall of Banu Fulan." So, I said, "Yes," then he took my hand and I abandoned what I was doing. I gave him eighty mithqals of gold in known dates for such and such a period, and the man accepted them and said: "Do justice to them and announce it to them." Zaid bin Sa'na said: "So, when two or three days remained before the appointed time, the Messenger of Allah went out and Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman came out with him in a group of his companions. So, when he finished the funeral prayer, and came close to a wall to sit down, I went to him and took hold of the edges of his shirt and his cloak, and I looked at him with a stern face. I said to him, "Will you not fulfill my right, O Muhammad? By Allah, I know your clan, the Banu Abd al-Muttalib, very well. Rather, I have known you through my association with you. I looked at Umar, and his eyes were rolling in his head like a revolving wheel. Then he cast a quick glance at me with his eye and said: "O enemy of Allah! Do you say to the Messenger of Allah what I hear and do what I see? By the One Who sent him with the truth, had I not feared that I would miss out on something, I would have struck you on the head with this sword of mine." The Messenger of Allah remained silent, looking at Umar calmly and with a sweet smile on his face. Then he said: "O Umar, he and I were in more need of something other than this. You should have commanded me to do well, and commanded him to follow well. O Umar, go to him and give him his right, and add twenty sa's of dates to the place where they were kept." Zaid said: "So Umar went with me and gave me my right and added twenty sa's of dates to the place where they were kept. I said: "What is this increase, O Umar?" He said: "The Messenger of Allah has ordered me to increase it to the place where it was kept." I asked him, "Do you know me, O Umar?" He said, "No." I said, "What led you to treat the Messenger of Allah as you did?" He asked, "O Umar, whenever something occurred to him from among the signs of Prophethood, I recognized it in his face when I looked at it, except for two signs that I did not tell him about which his forbearance outweighed his ignorance, nor would an increase in his ignorance cause his forbearance to decrease. I have informed him of both of them, and I bear witness to you, O Umar, that I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, Islam as my religion, and Muhammad as my Prophet. And I bear witness to you that half of my wealth, even though most of it comes in the form of charity given to the Ummah of Muhammad." Umar said, "Or to some of them, for it is not suitable for all of them." I said, "Or to some of them." So Umar and Zaid returned to the Messenger of Allah, and Zaid said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. I believed in him, confirmed him, followed him, and witnessed many things with him." Then he died

[Machine] We were on a journey with the Prophet ﷺ, and we traveled throughout the night until we reached the end of the night before dawn. We had an encounter, and there is no better encounter for a traveler than it. We were only awakened by the heat of the sun, as it was the first time Bilal had awakened, followed by others. Umar ibn al-Khattab was the last to wake up. When the Prophet ﷺ slept, no one would wake him up until he woke up himself, because we did not know what would happen to him in his sleep. When Umar woke up and saw what had happened to the people, he became very upset and raised his voice in takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar). He continued to say takbeer and raise his voice until he woke up the Prophet ﷺ with his voice. The people complained to him about what had happened to them, and he said, "Do not worry, continue the journey." So we continued the journey, and soon after that, we stopped and the Prophet ﷺ called for wudu. He performed wudu and then the call to prayer was made, and he prayed with the people. He prolonged his prayer, and when a man wanted to leave, he did not pray with the people. The Prophet ﷺ asked him why he did not pray with the people, and he said it was because he had janabah (sexual impurity) and no water. The Prophet ﷺ told him to go to the nearby irrigated land (sa'id), as it would be sufficient for him. Then the people complained to him about thirst, so we stopped again and he called a man named Abu Raja' and called Ali. He told them to go and search for water, so they set off and met a woman with two water containers on a camel. They approached her and asked for water, and she said she had made a promise about the water until that time. They told her to go, and she asked where to go, and they said to the Prophet ﷺ. She asked if it was the one they called As-Saabi', and they confirmed. So she went with them to the Prophet ﷺ and told him what had happened. He called for a vessel and placed the water containers in it, then he rinsed his mouth and returned the water to the container, and then he repeated it with the water containers. Then he tied the mouths of the containers and let the water flow, and called out to the people to drink and quench their thirst. He gave the one who had janabah his portion and told him to pour the remaining water on himself. By Allah, she was still standing, watching what he was doing with her water. It seemed to us that they were even more amazed than she was. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Gather for her whatever is between a jar and a sa'iqa and a handful." So they gathered food for her in a garment and placed it in front of her. The Prophet ﷺ told her, "You know, by Allah, we did not take anything from your water, but it was Allah who provided it for us." She went to her people, who were waiting for her, and they asked her why she had been delayed. She said, "By Allah, I have never seen people like them before. Either they are sorcerers, or he is truly the messenger of Allah ﷺ." The Muslims would change places with those around her who were polytheists and would not be struck by the drought that followed. One day, she asked her people if they were interested in Islam, and they obediently went and all embraced Islam.

[Machine] "O Ibrahim, where are you going, leaving us in this valley that has no company or anything?" She said to him repeatedly, but he did not turn to her. She then asked him, "Did Allah command you to do this?" He said, "Yes." She said, "Then He will not let us perish." Then she returned, and Ibrahim set off facing the Kaaba, and he made the following supplication, raising his hands: "Indeed, I have settled my descendants in an uncultivated valley near Your sacred house, O Allah, [our Lord], that they may establish prayer. So make hearts among the people incline toward them and provide for them from the fruits that they might be grateful." (Quran 14:37) Then Ismail's mother breastfed and nursed Ismail until the water in the water-skin was depleted, causing her and her son to thirst and hunger. She disliked looking at her child in that state. She then saw Mount Safa closest to her, so she ascended it and looked to see if anyone was there. When she saw no one, she descended and walked briskly until she reached the valley, raising the edges of her dress to protect herself. She did this seven times. Ibn Abbas said: The Prophet ﷺ said, "That is why the people run between them." When she descended from Mount Marwah, she heard a voice, so she said, "Stay here, if you will" and listened again. When she heard nothing, she said, "I have heard you. If you have any means of assistance, then help us." Then she heard the sound again. She said, "Indeed, I have [now] perceived that I am being pursued." She hurried to the mountain and upon reaching it, she looked to see if anyone was there, but she found no one. She did this seven times. Ibn Abbas said: The Prophet ﷺ said, "May Allah have mercy on the mother of Ismail; if she had left the water flowing, it would have been a flowing stream." So she drank from it and nursed her child. The angel said to her, "Do not fear of being lost, for there is a house of Allah that will be constructed by this boy and his father, and Allah will never abandon them." The house was at a higher elevation than the surrounding land, like a fixed and firm mountain. Streams flowed from it on both sides. They lived in this manner until a group or a tribe passed by and saw birds circling above a specific location. They said, "There must be water there, this is the site we have been searching for." They sent someone, and behold, there was indeed water. They informed Ismail's family about it, and they settled there. Ismail grew up and learned Arabic from them. He amazed them with his intelligence. When he reached marriageable age, they married him to a woman from their tribe. Ismail's mother passed away.

[Machine] Al-Khattab, al-Abbas, and Ali bin Abi Talib were arguing about the Prophet's wealth. Umar said, "The wealth of Banu Nadeer was what Allah gave to his Messenger without the Muslims contributing any horses or weapons. It belonged exclusively to the Messenger of Allah, who spent it on his family for a year. Whatever was left was used for horses and weapons in the cause of Allah. After the death of the Prophet, Abu Bakr became its guardian, just as the Messenger of Allah had appointed him. Then I became its guardian, just as Abu Bakr had appointed me. Then you both asked me to give it to you, and I gave it to you on the condition that you use it for the same purposes as the Messenger of Allah had used it. But now you come to me arguing amongst yourselves, wanting me to give half to each of you. Do you want me to make a judgment that is different from what I have already ruled between you? By the One in whose hand is the life of the heavens and the earth, I will not make a judgment different from that. If you are incapable of fulfilling its conditions, then return it to me, and I will suffice you both." Ash-Shafi'i said, "Sufyan told me that he did not hear it directly from Az-Zuhri, but Amr bin Dinar told him about it, and I asked, 'Did he narrate it as you have explained?' and Sufyan said, 'Yes.'"  

الْخَطَّابِ ؓ وَالْعَبَّاسُ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ يَخْتَصِمَانِ إِلَيْهِ فِي أَمْوَالِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ كَانَتْ أَمْوَالُ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِمَّا لَمْ يُوجِفْ عَلَيْهِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ بِخَيْلٍ وَلَا رِكَابٍ فَكَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ خَالِصًا دُونَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُنْفِقُ مِنْهَا عَلَى أَهْلِهِ نَفَقَةَ سَنَةٍ فَمَا فَضَلَ جَعَلَهُ فِي الْكُرَاعِ وَالسِّلَاحِ عُدَّةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَلِيَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ ؓ بِمِثْلِ مَا وَلِيَهَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ وَلِيتُهَا بِمِثْلِ مَا وَلِيَهَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ ؓ ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُمَانِي أَنْ أُوَلِّيَكُمَاهَا فَوَلَّيْتُكُمَاهَا عَلَى أَنْ تَعْمَلَا فِيهَا بِمِثْلِ مَا وَلِيَهَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ وَلِيَهَا بِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ وَلِيتُهَا بِهِ فَجِئْتُمَانِي تَخْتَصِمَانِ أتُرِيدَانِ أَنْ أَدْفَعَ إِلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُما نِصْفًا أتُرِيدَانِ مِنِّي قَضَاءً غَيْرَ مَا قَضَيْتُ بِهِ بَيْنَكُمَا أَوَّلًا فَلَا وَالَّذِي بِإِذْنِهِ تَقُومُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ لَا أَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمَا قَضَاءً غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنْ عَجَزْتُمَا عَنْهَا فَادْفَعَاهَا إِلِيَّ أَكْفِيكُمَاهَا قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ فَقَالَ لِي سُفْيَانُ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنَ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَلَكِنْ أَخْبَرَنِيهِ عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قُلْتُ كَمَا قَصَصْتَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

[Machine] When the people of Makkah sent their captives as tribute, Zainab, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , was sent as tribute for Abu Al-As. She was sent with a necklace that Khadijah had given her to wear when she was married to Abu Al-As. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw her, he was greatly moved and said, "If you see fit, then free her captive and return to her what belongs to her." They replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah," so they freed her and returned to her what belonged to her. Al-Abbas then said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am a Muslim." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah knows best about your Islam, so if it is as you say, then Allah will reward you. So, free yourself, as well as the two sons of your brother Nawfal bin Al-Harith bin Abd al-Muttalib and Aqeel bin Abi Talib bin Abd al-Muttalib, and your ally Uthbah bin Amr bin Jahdam, who is from the tribe of Bani Harith bin Fihr." Al-Abbas said, "I do not have that with me, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then where is the wealth that you buried, along with Umm Al-Fadl?" He said to her, "If I am saved, then this wealth belongs to the Bani Fadl and Abdullah and Qutham." Al-Abbas said, "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I know that you are His Messenger, and this is something that no one besides me and Umm Al-Fadl knows. So, please accept on my behalf what you and your companions have received of the twenty ounces of wealth that I had with me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ agreed, and Al-Abbas, along with his two brothers and his ally, were freed. Allah revealed in the Quran, [O Prophet, say to the captives in your hands, 'If Allah knows any good in your hearts, He will give you better than what was taken from you and forgive you.' And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.] (Al-Anfal 70). Allah compensated me with twenty slaves, all of whom had wealth that they could use to help me, in addition to what I hoped for in terms of Allah's forgiveness. This is what our Sheikh Abu Abdullah informed us in his book Al-Mustadrak (12850). Ibn Ishaq also mentioned this in his book Maghazi. Then, Yunus said, "Ibn Ishaq returned to the earlier chain of narrators and mentioned the sending of Quraysh to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with their captives as tribute, and every group ransomed its captive with whatever pleased it. Then, he mentioned Al-Abbas' story with a chain of narrators after mentioning some other narrations, and their Hadiths all came together in what I mentioned to you on the Day of Badr." Then, he started returning to those narrations without mentioning this particular chain. And Allah knows best.

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ waged war against Thaqif. When he heard that, Sakhr mounted his horse and pursued the Prophet ﷺ , but he found that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had left and not conquered. So Sakhr made a covenant with Allah and pledged not to leave this palace until they descended upon the ruling of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He did not leave them until they descended upon the ruling of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . then Sakhr wrote to him: "O Messenger of Allah! Thaqif has descended upon your rule, and I am coming to them while they are on horses." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded a congregational prayer and supplicated for Ahmas ten times: "O Allah, bless Ahmas, his horses and men." The people came and Al-Mughirah spoke, saying: "O Messenger of Allah! My aunt was captured and she entered into what the Muslims entered into." So he called her and said: "O Sakhr! When the people become Muslims, they preserve their lives and their wealth. Return the captive to Al-Mughirah." So he returned her to him. The Prophet ﷺ asked: "Why didn't the people of Bani Sulaim who had apostated from Islam but left this water remained?" He replied: "O Messenger of Allah! Descend them upon me and my people." He said: "Yes." So he put them in and they became Muslims. They came to Sakhr and asked him to give them their water but he refused. So they came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah! We have become Muslims and we came to Sakhr to give us our water but he refused." So he called him and said: "O Sakhr! When the people become Muslims, they preserve their lives and their wealth. Return the water to the people." He said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." So it was narrated that the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed colour, reflecting his shyness about receiving the maid and the water. As for the aunt of Al-Mughirah, if she became Muslim after she was captured, then it is as if her Islam was seen before the distribution. So she safeguards her wealth. It is also possible that she became Muslim before she was captured. And Allah knows best. This Sakhr is Ibn Al-Ayla. It was narrated by Al-Bukhari from Abu Nu'aim from Aban from Uthman bin Abi Hazim from Sakhr bin Al-Ayla. He did not attribute it to his father. It was also narrated in the story of Ria'at Al-Suhaymiyah, which is clearly indicated by the story of the aunt of Al-Mughirah. He became Muslim and then he said: "O Messenger of Allah! My family and my wealth!" He said: "As for your wealth, it has been divided among the Muslims, and as for your family, look to those among them whom you are able to overpower." So his son responded to him, and it is also possible that he distributed the spoils among the wealthy themselves, as he did with the captives of Hawazin and compensated the people with their share. And Allah knows best. The chain of narration of the two Hadith is not strong.

[Machine] I was sitting with him in the shade of the Kaaba, and he was addressing the people, saying, "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during a journey. So we stopped at a resting place, and among us were those who would strike their tents, and among us were those who were still in the process of packing, and among us were those who were confused when the caller of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for congregational prayer and said, 'Indeed, the congregational prayer is about to begin.' So I approached him while he was delivering his sermon to the people and saying, 'O people, there was never a prophet before me except that it was incumbent upon him to guide his nation to what he knew was good for them and to warn them of what he knew was evil for them. So verily, the well-being of this nation is in its early days, and its latter days will be afflicted with trials and tribulations that will come one after the other. When trials come, the believer will say, 'This is my destruction.' Then it will be lifted, only for another to come, and the believer will say, 'This is my destruction.' Then it will be lifted, only for another to come, and the believer will say, 'This is my destruction.' Then it will be lifted. So whoever wishes to be saved from the Fire and enter Paradise should let his death overtake him while he believes in Allah and the Last Day and brings to the people that which he himself desires to be brought to him. And whoever gives his pledge of allegiance to an Imam, giving him the clasp of his hand and the fruit of his heart, then let him obey him as much as he can.' He also once said, 'If anyone disputes with you, strike his neck!' When I heard that, I buried my head between my legs and said, 'Your cousin Mu'awiyah commands us to kill ourselves and to consume our wealth unlawfully while Allah says, 'And do not kill yourselves [or one another]. Indeed, Allah is to you ever Merciful.' ' He then placed his hand on his forehead, and then he bent down, and then he raised his head and said, 'Obey him in obedience to Allah, and disobey him in disobedience to Allah.' I said, 'Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?' He said, 'Yes, I heard it with my own ears and kept it preserved in my heart, the words of Waki'.'

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Abdullah ibn Jahsh to a palm tree and told him to stay there until he brought news of Quraish. He did not command him to fight, and this was during the sacred month. He wrote him a letter before informing him of his destination, saying "Go out with your companions until you have traveled for two days, then open your letter and see what I have commanded you in it, and act accordingly. Do not force anyone from your companions to go with you." When he had traveled for two days, he opened the letter and found that he was to continue until he reached Nakhla and brought us news of Quraish. He said to his companions when he read the letter aloud, "Whoever among you desires martyrdom, come with me, for I am going to fulfill the command of the Messenger of Allah. And whoever dislikes that among you, let him return, for the Messenger of Allah has forbidden me from forcing anyone to go with me." So the people went with him until they reached Buhran, and Saad bin Abi Waqqas and Utbah bin Ghazwan lagged behind, searching for their lost camel. The rest of the group continued until they reached Nakhla. Along the way, they encountered Amr bin Al-Hadrami and Al-Hakam bin Kayssan and Uthman and Al-Mughirah bin Abdullah, who were with them for a trade journey. They had come with a shipment of dates and raisins from Ta'if. When the group saw them, Uqba bin Abu Mu'ayt, who had shaved his head, said, "There is no harm on you from them." The people of Quraish caught up with them on the last day of Rajab and said, "If you kill them, you will be killing them in the sacred month. And if you leave them, they will enter Makkah tonight and you will miss them." So the group unanimously decided to kill them. Waqid bin Abdullah At-Tamimi threw a spear at Amr bin al-Hadrami and killed him, and Uthman bin Abdullah and Al-Hakam bin Kayssan were captured. Al-Mughirah managed to escape and led the enemy to the Muslims. They seized the caravan, and brought it to the Messenger of Allah, who said to them, "By Allah, I did not order you to fight in the sacred month." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ detained the captives and the caravan, and did not take anything from it. When the Messenger of Allah said to them what he said, they thought that he had killed them, and their Muslim brethren severely reprimanded them. When the news reached Quraish, they said, "Muhammad has spilled blood in the sacred month, and has taken wealth and captured men and has desecrated the sacred month." So Allah revealed in this regard, "They ask you about the sacred month - about fighting therein. Say, 'Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allah and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Haram and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of Allah. And fitnah [persecution] is greater than killing" [Quran 2:217]. When this Ayah was revealed, the Messenger of Allah released the captives and the caravan as ransom. The Muslims said, "Do we have hope that it would be a battle?" So Allah revealed about them, "Indeed, those who have believed and those who have emigrated" [Quran 2:218] until the end of the Ayah. They were eight, their leader being the ninth, Abdullah bin Jahsh.

[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.

[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.

Once ʿUmar bin ʿAbdul ʿAziz sat on his throne in the courtyard of his house so that the people might gather before him. Then he admitted them and (when they came in), he said, "What do you think of Al-Qasama?" They said, "We say that it is lawful to depend on Al-Qasama in Qisas, as the previous Muslim Caliphs carried out Qisas depending on it." Then he said to me, "O Abu Qilaba! What do you say about it?" He let me appear before the people and I said, "O Chief of the Believers! You have the chiefs of the army staff and the nobles of the Arabs. If fifty of them testified that a married man had committed illegal sexual intercourse in Damascus but they had not seen him (doing so), would you stone him?" He said, "No." I said, "If fifty of them testified that a man had committed theft in Hums, would you cut off his hand though they did not see him?" He replied, "No." I said, "By Allah, Messenger of Allah ﷺ never killed anyone except in one of the following three situations: (1) A person who killed somebody unjustly, was killed (in Qisas,) (2) a married person who committed illegal sexual intercourse and (3) a man who fought against Allah and His Apostle and deserted Islam and became an apostate." Then the people said, "Didn't Anas bin Malik narrate that Messenger of Allah ﷺ cut off the hands of the thieves, branded their eyes and then, threw them in the sun?" I said, "I shall tell you the narration of Anas. Anas said: "Eight persons from the tribe of ʿUkl came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and gave the Pledge of allegiance for Islam (became Muslim). The climate of the place (Medina) did not suit them, so they became sick and complained about that to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said (to them ), "Won't you go out with the shepherd of our camels and drink of the camels' milk and urine (as medicine)?" They said, "Yes." So they went out and drank the camels' milk and urine, and after they became healthy, they killed the shepherd of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and took away all the camels. This news reached Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he sent (men) to follow their traces and they were captured and brought (to the Prophet). He then ordered to cut their hands and feet, and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron, and then he threw them in the sun till they died." I said, "What can be worse than what those people did? They deserted Islam, committed murder and theft." Then 'Anbasa bin Saʿid said, "By Allah, I never heard a narration like this of today." I said, "O 'Anbasa! You deny my narration?" 'Anbasa said, "No, but you have related the narration in the way it should be related. By Allah, these people are in welfare as long as this Sheikh (Abu Qilaba) is among them." I added, "Indeed in this event there has been a tradition set by Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The narrator added: Some Ansari people came to the Prophet ﷺ and discussed some matters with him, a man from amongst them went out and was murdered. Those people went out after him, and behold, their companion was swimming in blood. They returned to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said to him, "O Allah's Apostle, we have found our companion who had talked with us and gone out before us, swimming in blood (killed)." Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and asked them, "Whom do you suspect or whom do you think has killed him?" They said, "We think that the Jews have killed him." The Prophet ﷺ sent for the Jews and asked them, "Did you kill this (person)?" They replied, "No." He asked the Al-Ansars, "Do you agree that I let fifty Jews take an oath that they have not killed him?" They said, "It matters little for the Jews to kill us all and then take false oaths." He said, "Then would you like to receive the Diya after fifty of you have taken an oath (that the Jews have killed your man)?" They said, "We will not take the oath." Then the Prophet ﷺ himself paid them the Diya (Blood-money)." The narrator added, "The tribe of Hudhail repudiated one of their men (for his evil conduct) in the Pre-lslamic period of Ignorance. Then, at a place called Al-Batha' (near Mecca), the man attacked a Yemenite family at night to steal from them, but a. man from the family noticed him and struck him with his sword and killed him. The tribe of Hudhail came and captured the Yemenite and brought him to ʿUmar during the Hajj season and said, "He has killed our companion." The Yemenite said, "But these people had repudiated him (i.e., their companion)." ʿUmar said, "Let fifty persons of Hudhail swear that they had not repudiated him." So forty-nine of them took the oath and then a person belonging to them, came from Sham and they requested him to swear similarly, but he paid one-thousand Dirhams instead of taking the oath. They called another man instead of him and the new man shook hands with the brother of the deceased. Some people said, "We and those fifty men who had taken false oaths (Al-Qasama) set out, and when they reached a place called Nakhlah, it started raining so they entered a cave in the mountain, and the cave collapsed on those fifty men who took the false oath, and all of them died except the two persons who had shaken hands with each other. They escaped death but a stone fell on the leg of the brother of the deceased and broke it, whereupon he survived for one year and then died." I further said, "ʿAbdul Malik bin Marwan sentenced a man to death in Qisas (equality in punishment) for murder, basing his judgment on Al-Qasama, but later on he regretted that judgment and ordered that the names of the fifty persons who had taken the oath (Al-Qasama), be erased from the register, and he exiled them in Sham." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6899)

[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] The following passage has been translated into English:

"He deserves this position more than those people or the group who were present when the Messenger of Allah passed away, and he was pleased with them. He named Ali, Uthman, Zubair, Talha, Saad, and Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf. He said, 'I bear witness to you, Abdullah Ibn Umar, even though he has no authority in this matter, like the consolation for him.' He also said, 'If the leadership falls into the hands of Saad, then that is good. Otherwise, let him seek the help of whichever one of you he is commanded to.' He said, 'I am not dismissing him due to any disability or betrayal.' He also said, 'I advise the caliph after me regarding the early migrants to acknowledge their rights and protect their sanctity. And I advise him concerning the Ansar, who took on the burden of the home and faith before them, to accept their kindness and pardon their mistakes. And I advise him regarding the people of the provinces, as they are the support of Islam, collectors of wealth, and the anger of the enemies. And let nothing be taken from them except their surplus beyond what pleases them. And I advise him regarding the Bedouins, as they are the roots of the Arabs and the backbone of Islam. Let their surplus be taken from the outskirts of their wealth and distributed to their poor. And I advise him regarding the covenant of Allah and the covenant of His Messenger, to fulfill their promise to them. And I advise him to fight from behind them and to not burden them beyond their capability.' When he passed away, we carried out his will and started walking. He mentioned the incident while burying him. He said, 'When we finished burying him and returned, this group of people assembled.' Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf said, 'Let's leave this matter to three of you.' Az-Zubair said, 'I have entrusted my matter to Ali.' Talha said, 'I have entrusted my matter to Uthman.' Saad said, 'I have entrusted my matter to Abdul Rahman.' Abdul Rahman said, 'Which one of you will absolve himself of this matter so that we can entrust it to him?' By Allah, he will judge with his own understanding and work diligently for the good of the nation. He said, 'The two sheikhs kept quiet.' Abdul Rahman said, 'Are you entrusting it to me? By Allah, I will not fail in fulfilling your best interests.' They said, 'Yes.' Abdul Rahman took the hand of one of them and said, 'You are from the close relatives of the Messenger of Allah and have a distinguished position in Islam. I have full confidence that if I appointed you, you would make justice your priority. And if I appointed Uthman, you would listen and obey him.' Then, he went to the other and said the same. When he made an agreement, he said to Uthman, 'Raise your hand, O Uthman,' and he pledged allegiance to him. Ali also pledged allegiance to him, and the people of the house pledged allegiance to him."

[Machine] How do you say about a man who finds another man with his wife, should he kill him and you kill him or what should he do? He said, ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that. So Asim came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, a man finds another man with his wife, should he kill him and you kill him or what should he do?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked the questions and criticized them. So Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will not stop until I ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that." So Uwaimir came and said, "O Messenger of Allah, a man finds another man with his wife, should he kill him and you kill him or what should he do?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah has revealed the Quran concerning you and your companion. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded both of them to curse each other with what Allah mentioned in His Book." So he said, "So she cursed him." Then he said, "O Messenger of Allah, if I divorce her, I have wronged her." He said, "So he divorced her, and it was a Sunnah for those who came after them from among the cursing parties." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Be cautious, for if she comes with a child called As'ham, it should be attributed to her. It will darken the two eyes, make the legs skinny, and I do not think Uwaimir except that he will be speaking the truth about her. And if she comes with a child called Uhaymir, it will be as if he is a free-roaming bull and I do not think Uwaimir except that he will be lying about her." He said, "She came with him with a description similar to the one the Messenger of Allah ﷺ attributed to him due to Uwaimir's testimony." He said, "After that, he was traced back to his mother."  

كَيْفَ تَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا أَيَقْتُلُهُ فَتَقْتُلُونَهُ أَمْ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ سَلْ لي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَأَتَى عَاصِمٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَجُلٌ وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا أَيَقْتُلُهُ فَتَقْتُلُونَهُ أَمْ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ؟ فَكَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَسَائِلَ فَسَأَلَهُ عُوَيْمِرٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ كَرِهَ الْمَسَائِلَ وَعَابَهَا فَقَالَ عُوَيْمِرٌ وَاللهِ لَا أَنْتَهِي حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَجَاءَ عُوَيْمِرٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَجُلٌ وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا أَيَقْتُلُهُ فَتَقْتُلُونَهُ أَمْ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ الْقُرْآنَ فِيكَ وَفِي صَاحِبَتِكَ فَأَمَرَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْمُلَاعَنَةِ بِمَا سَمَّى اللهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ قَالَ فَلَاعَنَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ حَبَسْتُهَا فَقَدْ ظَلَمْتُهَا قَالَ فَطَلَّقَهَا وَكَانَتْ بَعْدُ سُنَّةً لِمَنْ كَانَ بَعْدَهُمَا مِنَ الْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَبْصِرُوا فَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَسْحَمَ أَدْعَجَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ عَظِيمَ الْأَلْيَتَيْنِ خَدَلَّجَ السَّاقَيْنِ فَلَا أَحْسَبُ عُوَيْمِرًا إِلَّا وقَدْ صَدَقَ عَلَيْهَا وَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أُحَيْمِرَ كَأَنَّهُ وَحَرَةٌ فَلَا أَحْسَبُ عُوَيْمِرًا إِلَّا وَقَدْ كَذَبَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ عَلَى النَّعْتِ الَّذِي نَعَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ تَصْدِيقِ عُوَيْمِرٍ قَالَ فَكَانَ يُنْسَبُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ لِأُمِّهِ  

[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.'

They recognized that he was dead, and he mentioned this incident in his will and in the command to consult each other."

[Machine] That the Jewish scholars gathered in the house of the school when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in the city, and one of them committed adultery with a woman from the Jews who had been chaste. They said, "Take this man and this woman to Muhammad and ask him how to judge them." So, they brought him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Muhammad, this man has committed adultery with a woman whom you have declared chaste, so judge between them, as we have entrusted the judgment to you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went until he reached their Jewish scholars in the house of the school, and he said, "O Jewish people, bring forth your most knowledgeable person to me." They brought Abdullah ibn Suriyah al-Awar and some of the Banu Quraizah claimed that they also brought Abu Yasir ibn Akhtab and Wahb ibn Yahuda. They said, "These are our scholars." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them when he found out about their deceptive intentions, "O Ibn Suriyah, I ask you by Allah and remind you of the days of Bani Israel, do you know that Allah has prescribed stoning as a punishment for those who commit adultery after being chaste according to the Torah?" Ibn Suriyah replied, "Yes, by Allah, O Aba Al-Qasim, they know that you are a sent prophet, but they envy you." So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that they be stoned to death at the gate of his mosque in the house of Banu Ghannam bin Malik. After that, Ibn Suriyah apostatized. Then Allah revealed the verse, "O Messenger, let not those who hurry to disbelief grieve you - of those who say, 'We believe' with their mouths, but their hearts believe not, and from among the Jews. [They are] avid listeners to falsehood, listening to another people who have not come to you. They distort words beyond their [proper] usages, saying, 'If you are given this, take it; but if you are not given it, then beware.' And he for whom Allah intends fitnah - never will you possess [power to do] for him a thing against Allah. Those are the ones for whom Allah does not intend to purify their hearts. For them in this world is disgrace, and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment." (Quran 5:41)

The first to speak on Divine decree in al-Basrah was Maʿbad al Juhani. I and Humaid b. ʿAbd al-Rahman al-Himyari proceeded to perform Hajj or ʿUmrah. We said : would that we meet any of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ so that we could ask him about what they say with regard to divine decree. So Allah helped us to meet ʿAbd Allah b. ʿUmar who was entering the mosque. So I and my companion surrounded him, and I thought that my companion would entrust me the task of speaking to him. Then I said : Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman, there appeared on our side some people who recite the Qur'an and are engaged in the hair-splitting of knowledge. They conceive that there is no Divine decree and everything happens freely without predestination. He said : When you meet those people, tell them that I am free from them, and they are free from me. By Him by Whom swears ‘Abd Allah b. ‘Umar, if one of them has gold equivalent to Uhud and he spends it, Allah will not accept it from him until he believes in Divine decree. He then said : ‘Umar b. Khattab transmitted to me a tradition, saying : One day when we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a man with very white clothing and very black hair came up to us. No mark of travel was visible on him, and we did not recognize him. Sitting down beside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, leaning his knees against his and placing his hands on his thighs, he said : tell me, Muhammad, about Islam. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said : Islam means that you should testify that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle, that you should observe prayer, pay Zakat, fast during Ramadan, and perform Hajj to the house (i.e., Kaʿbah), If you have the means to go. He said : You have spoken the truth. We were surprised at his questioning him and then declaring that he spoke the truth. He said : Now tell me about faith. He replied : It means that you should believe in Allah, his angels, his Books, his Apostles and the last day, and that you should believe in the decreeing both of good and evil. He said : You have spoken the truth. He said : now tell me about doing good (ihsan). He replied: It means that you should worship Allah as though you are seeing him; if you are not seeing him, he is seeing you. He said: Now tell me about the hour. He replied : The one who is asked about it is no better informed than the one who is asking. He said : Then tell me about its signs. He replied : That a maidservant should beget her mistress, and that you should see barefooted, naked, poor men and shepherds exalting themselves in buildings. ‘Umar said : He then went away, and I waited for three days, then he said : Do you know who the questioner was, ʿUmar? I replied : Allah and his Apostle know best. He said : He was Gabriel who came to you to teach you your religion. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4695)

[Machine] A man came to Umar ibn al-Khattab while he was at Arafah and said, "O Commander of the Faithful, I have come from Kufa and left a man there who recites the Quran by heart." Umar became angry and his face turned red. He said, "Who is he?" The man replied, "Abdullah ibn Mas'ud." Umar's anger subsided and he returned to his normal state. Then he said, "By Allah, I do not know of anyone more deserving of this than him. Let me tell you a story. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to consult Abu Bakr in the matters concerning the Muslims. One night, the Prophet, ﷺ , stayed up late with Abu Bakr and I was with them. The Prophet, ﷺ , then left and we went with him. We saw a man standing and praying in the mosque. The Prophet, ﷺ , stood and listened to his recitation. When we could not recognize the man, the Prophet, ﷺ , said, "Whoever wants to recite the Quran with the same melody it was revealed with, let him read it in the recitation of Ibn Umm Abd, then the man started supplicating and the Prophet, ﷺ , said to him, 'Ask, and you shall be given.'" Umar then said, "I said to myself, I will go to the man tomorrow and give him the glad tidings." So I went to him to give him the news, but I found that Abu Bakr had already preceded me and informed him. By Allah, I have never been able to surpass Abu Bakr in goodness, except that he always precedes me in it."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ ؓ وَهُوَ بِعَرَفَةَ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ جِئْتُ مِنَ الْكُوفَةِ وَتَرَكْتُ بِهَا رَجُلًا يُمْلِي الْمَصَاحِفَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ قَلْبِهِ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ عُمَرُ وَانْتَفَخَ حَتَّى كَادَ يَمْلَأُ مَا بَيْنَ شُعْبَتَيِ الرَّجُلِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَيْحَكَ مَنْ هُوَ؟ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَمَا زَالَ يُطْفَأُ وَيَسِيرُ الْغَضَبُ حَتَّى عَادَ إِلَى حَالِهِ الَّتِي كَانَ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ وَيْحَكَ وَاللهِ مَا أَعْلَمُ بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ مِنْهُ سَأُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَزَالُ يَسْمُرُ فِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عِنْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَأَنَّهُ سَمَرَ عِنْدَهُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَخَرَجْنَا نَمْشِي مَعَهُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْتَمِعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ فَلَمَّا أَعْيَانَا أَنْ نَعْرِفَ مَنِ الرَّجُلُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ غَضًّا كَمَا أُنْزِلَ فَلْيَقْرَأْهُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ الرَّجُلُ يَدْعُو فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَهُ سَلَ تُعْطَهْ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ فَقُلْتُ لَأَغْدُوَنَّ إِلَيْهِ فَلَأُبَشِّرَنَّهُ قَالَ فَغَدَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ لِأُبَشِّرَهُ فَوَجَدْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَدْ سَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ فَبَشَّرَهُ فَوَاللهِ مَا سَابَقْتُهُ إِلَى خَيْرِ قَطُّ إِلَّا سَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ هَكَذَا  

[Machine] He spent four years waiting, and when the four years passed, she came to him and informed him. So, he asked her people, and they said yes. So, he ordered her to get married, and she got married. Then her husband came to argue about it with Umar ibn al-Khattab. Umar ibn al-Khattab said to him, "One of you disappears for a long time, and his family does not know if he is alive or not." He said, "I have an excuse, O Commander of the Faithful." Umar asked, "What is your excuse?" He said, "I went out to pray Isha prayer, and the jinn harmed me, and I stayed with them for a long time. Then a group of believing jinn or Muslim jinn fought against them, and Sa'id doubted them, so they fought against them, and they captured some of them as captives. They captured me along with them. They said, "We see that you are a Muslim man, and it is not permissible for us to capture you as a captive." So, they gave me the choice to stay with them or return to my family. I chose to return to my family, and they accompanied me. At night, they do not speak to me, and during the day, I follow the scent of the wind." Umar asked, "What did you eat with them?" He said, "Fava beans, and the name of Allah was not mentioned upon it." Umar asked, "What did you drink with them?" He said, "Fermented barley." Qatadah said, "Fermented barley is what is not made into alcohol." Umar gave him the choice between divorce and keeping her. Sa'id chose divorce, and Umar gave him the dowry from the treasury. Abu Hurayrah reported from Abu Sa'id that Umar said, "If her husband comes after she has been married in her dowry and in the dowry of the other woman, then if he chooses the dowry, the first husband has no way to her. And if he chooses his wife, she should observe her iddah until it has ended, then return to her first husband, and her dowry from the first husband is what he made lawful for her from his private parts." Ibn Shihab said, "Uthman decided this after Umar, and Malik ibn Anas disapproved of narrating from someone who narrated from Umar about the choice. Abu Ahmad al-Mihrajani reported from Abu Bakr ibn Ja'far from Muhammad ibn

[Machine] Omar gathered the early immigrants and consulted them. They disagreed with him, with some advising him to turn back and not expose the people to this pandemic, while others said it was the will of God and he had set out for a purpose, so he should not turn back. Omar ordered them to disperse, and then he called upon the Ansar for their consultation. They also had different opinions, but eventually agreed that Omar should turn back with the people. Omar gave the order, and then he mounted his camel and said to the people, "I am going back. I will see what I decide. Follow me." He proceeded, and in the morning he said, "If someone besides you had said that, Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah, I would have dismissed him as fleeing from the decree of Allah." Abu Ubaidah replied, "Indeed, this is what I mean, fleeing from one degree of Allah to another. Have you not seen that if a man descends into a valley, one side of it is barren and the other side is fertile? Isn't it true that if he tends to the barren side, he tends to it by the decree of Allah, and if he tends to the fertile side, he tends to it by the decree of Allah?" Then Omar left Abu Ubaidah and they both reconsidered for a while. Then Abdul Rahman bin Auf came, who had been absent for some of his own affairs. He came while the people were arguing, and he said, "I have knowledge about this." Omar asked, "What is it?" He replied, "I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'If you hear of an outbreak of plague in a land, do not enter it; but if the plague breaks out in a land while you are in it, do not leave that land.'" Omar praised Allah and returned to the people, ordering them to turn back. Ibn Shihab said, "Salim bin Abdullah informed me that Abdullah bin Omar and Abdullah bin Amr bin Rabia said: 'Omar only changed his mind based on the advice of Abdul Rahman bin Auf.'"

[Machine] About Marwan and Al-Miswar ibn Makhrama in the story of Al-Hudaybiyah, and the departure of Suhail ibn Amr to the Prophet ﷺ . When he reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , they had a discussion until they agreed to a truce that would last for ten years, during which the people would be safe from each other. It was agreed that the following year, they would be able to perform Umrah in Makkah. Suhail came as a representative of the Makkans, and the terms of the treaty were written down. Then Abu Jandal ibn Suhail bin Amr came, bound in chains, and his father had imprisoned him. When Suhail saw him, he approached him and slapped him on the face, even though he had come seeking refuge with the Prophet ﷺ . Abu Jandal mentioned this incident in his writings. Abu Jandal's chains were removed, and he planned to travel to Makkah. When the Prophet ﷺ entered Madinah, Abu Basir ibn Utbah came to him, seeking reassurance and protection. He had brought a letter from the people of Makkah, which included a message from Akhnas ibn Shurayq and Azhar ibn Abd Awf. They sent the letter with their slave and a man from the Banu Amr ibn Luay tribe to relay their response. They met with the Prophet ﷺ and he called Abu Bas

"عَنْ نَهْشَلِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ مُزَاحِمٍ، عَن ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ (قال:

مكث عمر) يَسْأَلُ عن أُوَيْسٍ الْقَرْنِى عَشْرَ سِنِينَ، فَذَكَر أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا أَهْلَ اليمَنِ! مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ مُرَادٍ فَلْيَقُمْ، فَقَامَ مَنْ كَانَ مِن مُرَادٍ وَقَعَدَ آخَرُونَ، فَقَالَ: أَفيكُمْ أُوَيْسٌ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يا أَميرَ الْمؤمِنيِنَ! لَا نَعْرِفُ أُوَيْسًا وَلَكِنِ ابْنُ أَخٍ لِى يُقَالُ لَهُ أُوَيْسٌ هُوَ أَضْعَفُ وَأَمْهنُ مِن أَنْ يَسْأَلَ مِثْلُكَ عَن مَثْلِهِ، قال له: أَبِحَرَمِنَا هو؟ قَالَ: نَعَم هُوَ بالأَرَاكِ بِعَرَفةَ يَرْعَى إِبِلَ الْقَوْمِ فَرَكِبَ عُمَرُ وَعَلِىٌّ ؓ حِمَارَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَا حَتَّى أَتَيَا الأَراكَ فَإِذا هُوَ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّى، يَضْرِبُ ببَصَرِه نَحْوَ مَسْجِدِه وقَدْ دَخَلَ بَعْضُهُ فِى بَعْضٍ، فَلَمْا رَأَيَاهُ قَالَ أحَدُهُما لِصَاحِبه: إِنْ يَكُ أَحَدٌ الَّذِى نَطلُبُهُ فَهَذَا هُوَ، فَلَما سَمِع حديثهما خَفَّفَ وَانْصَرَفَ، فسلما عليه فرد عليهما، فلما رَدَّ عَلَيْهِما: وَعَلَيْكُمَا السَّلَام وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّه وبركاته، قَالَا لَه: مَا اسْمُكَ رَحِمَك اللَّه؟ قَالَ: أَنَا رَاعِى هَذِهِ الإِبِل، قَالَا: أَخْبِرْنَا بِاسْمكَ، قَالَ: أَنَا أَجِيرُ الْقَوْم، قَالَا: مَا اسْمكَ؟ قال: أَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّه، قَالَ لَهُ عَلِىٌّ: قَدْ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّ مَن فِى السَّمَواتِ وَالأَرْضِ عبيدُ اللَّه فَأَنْشُدُكَ برَبّ هَذِهِ الْكَعْبَةِ, رَبِّ هَذَا الْحَرَمِ مَا اسْمُكَ الَّذِى سَمَّتْكَ بِه أُمُّكَ؟ قَالَ: وَمَا تُريدَان إِلَى ذَلكَ؟ قال: أَنَا أُوَيْسُ بْنُ عامر، فَقَالَا لَه: اكْشِفْ لَنَا عَن شِقِّكَ الأَيْسَرِ فَكَشَفَ لهما، فإذا لمعة بيضاء قدر الدرهم من غير سوء) فابْتَدَرَا يُقَبِّلَانِ المَوْضِعَ، ثُمَّ قَالَا لَهُ: إِنَّ رسُولَ ﷺ أَمَرَنَا أن نُقْرِئَكَ السَّلَامَ وَأَنْ نَسْأَلَكَ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ لَنَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ دُعَائِى فِى شَرْقِ الأَرْضِ وَغَرْبِهَا لِجَمِيع المُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمنَاتِ، فَقَالَا: ادْع لنا! فَدَعَا لَهُمَا وَلِلمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمؤْمِنَاتِ، فَقَالَ له عمر: أُعطيك شيئًا من رزقى أو من عطائى تستعين به، فقال: ثَوْباىَ جَدِيدَانِ، وَنَعْلَاىَ مَخْصُوفَتَانِ، وَمَعِى أَرْبَعَةُ دَرَاهمَ، وَلِى فَضْلَةٌ عنْدَ الْقَوْمِ، فَمَتَى أُفْنِى هَذَا؟ إِنَّهُ مَن أَمَّلَ جُمُعَةً أَمَّل شَهْرًا، وَمَن أَمَّلَ شَهْرًا أَمَّل سَنَةً، ثُمَّ رَدَّ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ إِبِلَهُمْ، ثُمَّ فَارَقَهُم فَلَم يَرَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ".

"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

معك أهلَ ذمةٍ وعهد قد أوصى رسول اللَّه ﷺ بِهم، وأوصى بالقِبْط، فقال: استوصوا بالقبط خيرًا فإِن لهم ذِمَّة ورَحِمًا، ورحِمُهم أَنَّ إسماعيلَ منهم، وقد قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ : من ظلم معاهَدًا أو كلَّفه فوق طاقته فأنا خصمه يومَ القِيامَة، احذر يا عَمْرو أن يَكون لقد ابتليتُ بولاية هذه الأمةِ وآنستُ من نفسى ضعفًا، وانتشرت رعيتى، وَرَقَّ عَظمِى، فَأَسأَلُ اللَّه أن يَقبضَنى إليه غيرَ مفرّط، واللَّه إنى لأَخشى لو ماتَ حمل بِأقْصَى عملك ضياعا أن أُسْأل عنه يَوم القِيامَة".  

"عن أسامةَ بنِ زيدِ بن أسلمَ عن أبيه عن جده قال: أَخْبرَنا عمرُ بْنُ الخطابِ قال: خرجتُ مع ناسٍ منْ قُرْيشٍ فِى تِجَارةٍ إِلَى الشام فِى الجَاهِلِيةِ، فلما خرجنا إِلى مكة نسيت قضاءَ حاجةٍ، فرجعت، فقلتُ لأَصحابى: أَلْحقكم، فواللَّه إنى لفِى سوقٍ من أسواقِها إِذا أَنَا بِبِطْريقٍ قد جاءَ فأخذَ بِعُنُقِى، فذهبتُ أُنَازِعُه، فأدخلَنى كَنِيسةً، فإذَا تُرَابٌ مُتراكبٌ بعضُه على بعضٍ، فدفع إلىَّ مِخرَفَةً وفَأسًا وَزِنْبِيلًا وقال: انْقُل هَذَا التُّرابَ فجلستُ أتفكرُ في أَمْرِى كيفَ أَصْنَعُ؟ فأتانى في الهاجِرَة فقال: لَمْ أرَكَ أخرجتَ شيئًا، ثم ضمَّ أصابِعه فضربَ بِها وَسَط رَأسِى فقلتُ: ثَكِلتْكَ أُمُّكُ يا عُمَرُ، وَبَلَغَكَ مَا أرَى؟ ! فقمتُ بالمِجْرَفَةِ فضربتُ بها هَامَتَهُ، فإذَا دماغهُ قد انْتَثَرَ، فَأخذتُه ثم وَارَيْتُه تحتَ التُّرَابِ ثم خرجتُ على وَجْهِى مَا أَدْرِى أينَ أَسْلُكُ؟ فَمَشَيْتُ بقيةَ يومى ولَيْلَتى، ومن الغَد، ثم انتهيتُ إِلى دِيرٍ، فاسْتَظلَلْتُ في ظلِّه، فَخَرَجَ إِلىَّ رجلٌ من أَهْلِ الدَّيرِ فقال: يا عبدَ اللَّه! ما يُجْلِسُك ههنا؟ فَقُلت: أُضْلِلتُ عن أَصْحَابِى، قال: ما أنتَ على الطريقِ، وَإِنَّك لتَنْظُرُ بعينِ خائفٍ، ادْخُلْ فَأَصِبْ من الطَّعَامِ واستَرحْ ونَمْ، فدخلتُ فجاء بطَعامٍ وشَرَابٍ ولُطَفٍ فَصَعَّد فِىَّ البصرَ وخَفَّضَه ثم قال: يا هَذَا! قَدْ عَلم أهلُ الكِتَاب: أَنَّه لم يبقَ على وجهِ الأَرْضِ أحدٌ أعلمُ مِنِّى بِالكِتَابِ، وَإِنِّى أَجِد صِفَتك الذى يُخرِجُنا من هَذَا الدَّيْرِ، ويَغْلِبُ على هَذِه البلدَةِ، فَقُلْتُ لَه: أيُّها الرجلُ! قد ذهبتَ في غير مَذْهَبٍ، قال: ما اسْمُك؟ قلتُ: عُمرُ بن الخطاب، قال: أنت واللَّه صاحِبُنَا غَيْرَ شَكٍّ، فَمَا كتب لِى على دِيرى ومَا فِيه؟ قلتُ: أيُّها الرجلُ! قد صنعتَ مَعْرُوفًا فَلَا تُكَدِّرْه، فقالَ: اكتُبْ لى كِتابًا فِى رَقٍّ، لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ فيهِ شَىْءٌ، فَإنْ يَكُ صَاحِبُنَا فَهُو مَا تُريدُ وإن يكُنِ الأُخرى فَلَيْسَ يَضُرُّكَ، قلت: هَاتِ فكتبْتُ له، ثم خَتمْتُ عَلَيْه فَدَعا سعَفَة فَدَفَعَها إِلَىَّ وبأثْوَابٍ وَبِأَتَانٍ قدْ أوكفَتْ فقالَ:

ألا تَسْمعُ؟ قُلتُ: نعم، قال: اخْرُج عليها فَإنَّها لَا تَمر بأهل يقوم ولا هل حَتَّى إذا بَلَغْتَ مَأمَنَكَ فَاضْرِبْ وَجْهَهَا مُدْبِرَةً، فَإِنَّها لا تمرُّ بِقَوْمٍ إِلَّا عَلَفُوها وَسَقَوْهَا حتى تصيرَ إلىَّ، فَركبتُ فَلَمْ أمُرَّ بِقَوْمٍ إِلَّا عَلَفُوها وَسَقَوْها، حَتَّى أَدْرَكْتُ أَصْحَابِى مُتَوجِّهِين إِلَى الحجازِ، ضربتُ وَجْهَهَا مُدْبِرَةً ثم سرتُ معهم، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عمرُ الشَّامَ في خِلَافَتِه أَتَاه ذَلِكَ الراهبُ بِذَلِك الكتابِ، فلما راه عُمَرُ تَعَجَّبَ منه فقالَ: أَوْفْ لِى بِشرْطِى، فقال عمر: لَيْسَ لِعُمَرَ وَلَا لآل عمرَ مِنْه شَىْءٌ وَلِكنْ عندَك لِلمسلمين نَفَقةٌ، فأنشأ عمرُ يُحَدِّثُنَا حديثَه وهو ينحوهم الطريق، ومرضتم المريض، فعلنا ذلك، قال: نعم يا أمير المؤمنينَ! فَوَفَّى لَه بِشَرْطِه".  

"عن أسَيرِ بن جابر قال: كان مُحدثٌ بالكُوفةِ يحدِّثُنا فَإِذا فرغَ من حديثهِ تَفَرقوا ويبقى رهطٌ فيهم رجلٌ يتكلمُ بكلامٍ لا أسمعُ أحدًا يتكلمُ كلامَه، فأحبَبته فَفَقَدْتُه؛ فقلتُ لأصحابى: هل تعرفونَ رجلًا كان يجالسُنا كذا وكذا؟ فقال رجلٌ من القومِ: نعم أنا أَعْرفه، ذلك أويسٌ القَرَنِىُّ، قلت: فتعلمُ منزله؟ قال: نعم، فانطلقتُ معه حتى ضَرَبْتُ حجرته، فخرج إلىَّ، قلت: يا أخى، ما حَبَسك عنا؟ قال: الْعُرْىُ، وكان أصحابُهُ يسخرونَ به ويُؤْذُونه، قلت: خُذْ هذا البُرْد فَالْبَسْه، (قال: لا تفعل؛ فإنهم إذن يؤذوننى إن رَأَوْه علىَّ، فلم أزل به حتى لبسه)، فخرج عليهم، فقالوا: (خُدِعَ عن برده

هذا؟ قال: فجاء فوضعه وقال: ألا ترى؟ قال أسير: فأتيت المجلس فقلت: ما تريدون من هذا الرجل؟ قد آذيتموه! ! الرجل يعرى مرة، ويكتسى مرة، فأخذتهم بلسانى أخذًا شديدًا، فقُضى أن أهل الكوفة وَفَدوا إلى عمر، فوفد رجلٌ ممن كان يَسْخرُ به، فقال عمر: هل ههنا أحد من القَرَنِيِّين؟ فجاء بذلك الرجل، فقال (إن رسول اللَّه ﷺ قد قال: إن رجلا يأتيكم من اليمن يقال) له أويسٌ، لا يدع باليمن غير أَمٍّ له، وقد كان به بياضٌ فدعا اللَّه فأذهَبَه عنه إلا مثلَ موضع الدرهم، فمن لقيه منكم فمروه فليستغفرْ لكم، قال: فقدم علينا، قلتُ: من أين؟ قال: من اليمن، قلت: ما اسمك؟ قال: أويس، قلت: فمن تركت باليمن؟ قال: أُما لى، قلت: أكان بك بياضٌ فدعوت اللَّه فأذهبه عنك؟ قال: نعم، قلتُ: استغفرْ لى، قال: أو يستغفر مثلى لمِثْلِك يَا أمير المؤمنين؟ قال: فاستغفر، قلت له: أنت أخى لا تفارقنى، فامَّلس منى، فَأُنْبِئْتُ أنه قدم عليكم الكوفة، قال: فجعل ذلك الرجل (الذى) كان يسخر به ويحقره يقول: (ما) هذا فينا وما نعرفه؟ فقال عمر: بلى، إنه رجل كذا، كأنه يضعُ من شأنِه، قال: فينا يا أمير المؤمنين رجل يقال له أويس نَسْخَر به، قال: أَدْرِك ولا أرَاكَ تُدرك، فَأقبلَ ذلك الرجل حتى دخل عليه قبلَ أن يأتى أهله، فقال له أويس: ما هذه بعادتك فما بدا لك؟ قال: سمعت عمر يقولُ فيك: كذا وكذا فاستغفرْ لى يا أُويس، قال: لا أفعلُ حتى تجعلَ لى عليك أن لا تسخر بى فيما بعد، ولا تذكر الذى سمعته من عمر إلى أحد؛ فاستغفر له، قال أُسير: فما لبثنا أن فشا أمره في الكوفة؟ فأتَيْتُه فدخلت عليه فقلت: يا أخى ألا أول العجب ونحن لا نشعر؟ قال: ما كان في هذا ما أتَبلَّغُ به في النَّاسِ، وما يُجزى كل عبدٍ إلا بعمله، ثم امَّلس منهم فذهب".
