The Prophet ﷺ appointed ʿAbdullah bin Jubair as the commander of the infantry men (archers) who were fifty on the day (of the battle) of Uhud. He instructed them, "Stick to your place, and don't leave it even if you see birds snatching us, till I send for you; and if you see that we have defeated the infidels and made them flee, even then you should not leave your place till I send for you." Then the infidels were defeated. By Allah, I saw the women fleeing lifting up their clothes revealing their leg-bangles and their legs. So, the companions of ʿAbdullah bin Jubair said, "The booty! O people, the booty ! Your companions have become victorious, what are you waiting for now?" ʿAbdullah bin Jubair said, "Have you forgotten what Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to you?" They replied, "By Allah! We will go to the people (i.e. the enemy) and collect our share from the war booty." But when they went to them, they were forced to turn back defeated. At that time Messenger of Allah ﷺ in their rear was calling them back. Only twelve men remained with the Prophet ﷺ and the infidels martyred seventy men from us. On the day (of the battle) of Badr, the Prophet ﷺ and his companions had caused the 'Pagans to lose 140 men, seventy of whom were captured and seventy were killed. Then Abu Sufyan asked thrice, "Is Muhammad present amongst these people?" The Prophet ﷺ ordered his companions not to answer him. Then he asked thrice, "Is the son of Abu Quhafa present amongst these people?" He asked again thrice, "Is the son of Al-Khattab present amongst these people?" He then returned to his companions and said, "As for these (men), they have been killed." ʿUmar could not control himself and said (to Abu Sufyan), "You told a lie, by Allah! O enemy of Allah! All those you have mentioned are alive, and the thing which will make you unhappy is still there." Abu Sufyan said, "Our victory today is a counterbalance to yours in the battle of Badr, and in war (the victory) is always undecided and is shared in turns by the belligerents, and you will find some of your (killed) men mutilated, but I did not urge my men to do so, yet I do not feel sorry for their deed" After that he started reciting cheerfully, "O Hubal, be high! (1) On that the Prophet ﷺ said (to his companions), "Why don't you answer him back?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ What shall we say?" He said, "Say, Allah is Higher and more Sublime." (Then) Abu Sufyan said, "We have the (idol) Al ʿUzza, and you have no ʿUzza." The Prophet said (to his companions), "Why don't you answer him back?" They asked, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! What shall we say?" He said, "Says Allah is our Helper and you have no helper."

We faced the pagans on that day (of the battle of Uhud) and the Prophet ﷺ placed a batch of archers (at a special place) and appointed ʿAbdullah (bin Jubair) as their commander and said, "Do not leave this place; if you should see us conquering the enemy, do not leave this place, and if you should see them conquering us, do not (come to) help us," So, when we faced the enemy, they took to their heels till I saw their women running towards the mountain, lifting up their clothes from their legs, revealing their leg-bangles. The Muslims started saying, "The booty, the booty!" ʿAbdullah bin Jubair said, "The Prophet ﷺ had taken a firm promise from me not to leave this place." But his companions refused (to stay). So when they refused (to stay there), (Allah) confused them so that they could not know where to go, and they suffered seventy casualties. Abu Sufyan ascended a high place and said, "Is Muhammad present amongst the people?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not answer him." Abu Sufyan said, "Is the son of Abu Quhafa present among the people?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not answer him." ʿAbu Sufyan said, "Is the son of Al-Khattab amongst the people?" He then added, "All these people have been killed, for, were they alive, they would have replied." On that, ʿUmar could not help saying, "You are a liar, O enemy of Allah! Allah has kept what will make you unhappy." Abu Sufyan said, "Superior may be Hubal!" On that the Prophet said (to his companions), "Reply to him." They asked, "What may we say?" He said, "Say: Allah is More Elevated and More Majestic!" Abu Sufyan said, "We have (the idol) Al-ʿUzza, whereas you have no ʿUzza!" The Prophet ﷺ said (to his companions), "Reply to him." They said, "What may we say?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Say: Allah is our Helper and you have no helper." Abu Sufyan said, "(This) day compensates for our loss at Badr and (in) the battle (the victory) is always undecided and shared in turns by the belligerents. You will see some of your dead men mutilated, but neither did I urge this action, nor am I sorry for it."

4044. Narrated Jabir: Some people took wine in the morning of the day of Uhud and were then killed as martyrs.

We went out to Khaibar in the company of the Prophet. While we were proceeding at night, a man from the group said to 'Amir, "O 'Amir! Won't you let us hear your poetry?" 'Amir was a poet, so he got down and started reciting for the people poetry that kept pace with the camels' footsteps, saying:-- "O Allah! Without You we Would not have been guided On the right path Neither would be have given In charity, nor would We have prayed. So please forgive us, what we have committed (i.e. our defects); let all of us Be sacrificed for Your Cause And send Sakina (i.e. calmness) Upon us to make our feet firm When we meet our enemy, and If they will call us towards An unjust thing, We will refuse. The infidels have made a hue and Cry to ask others' help Against us." The Prophet ﷺ on that, asked, "Who is that (camel) driver (reciting poetry)?" The people said, "He is 'Amir bin Al-Akwaʿ." Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on him." A man amongst the people said, "O Allah's Prophet! has (martyrdom) been granted to him. Would that you let us enjoy his company longer." Then we reached and besieged Khaibar till we were afflicted with severe hunger. Then Allah helped the Muslims conquer it (i.e. Khaibar). In the evening of the day of the conquest of the city, the Muslims made huge fires. The Prophet ﷺ said, "What are these fires? For cooking what, are you making the fire?" The people replied, "(For cooking) meat." He asked, "What kind of meat?" They (i.e. people) said, "The meat of donkeys." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Throw away the meat and break the pots!" Some man said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Shall we throw away the meat and wash the pots instead?" He said, "(Yes, you can do) that too." So when the army files were arranged in rows (for the clash), 'Amir's sword was short and he aimed at the leg of a Jew to strike it, but the sharp blade of the sword returned to him and injured his own knee, and that caused him to die. When they returned from the battle, Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw me (in a sad mood). He took my hand and said, "What is bothering you?" I replied, "Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you! The people say that the deeds of 'Amir are lost." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever says so, is mistaken, for 'Amir has got a double reward." The Prophet raised two fingers and added, "He (i.e. Amir) was a persevering struggler in the Cause of Allah and there are few 'Arabs who achieved the like of (good deeds) 'Amir had done."

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِلَى خَيْبَرَ فَسِرْنَا لَيْلاً فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ لِعَامِرٍ يَا عَامِرُ أَلاَ تُسْمِعُنَا مِنْ هُنَيْهَاتِكَ وَكَانَ عَامِرٌ رَجُلاً شَاعِرًا فَنَزَلَ يَحْدُو بِالْقَوْمِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ لَوْلاَ أَنْتَ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا وَلاَ تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلاَ صَلَّيْنَا فَاغْفِرْ فِدَاءً لَكَ مَا أَبْقَيْنَا وَثَبِّتِ الأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لاَقَيْنَا وَأَلْقِيَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا إِنَّا إِذَا صِيحَ بِنَا أَبَيْنَا وَبِالصِّيَاحِ عَوَّلُوا عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ هَذَا السَّائِقُ قَالُوا عَامِرُ بْنُ الأَكْوَعِ قَالَ يَرْحَمُهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ وَجَبَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ لَوْلاَ أَمْتَعْتَنَا بِهِ فَأَتَيْنَا خَيْبَرَ فَحَاصَرْنَاهُمْ حَتَّى أَصَابَتْنَا مَخْمَصَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى فَتَحَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمَّا أَمْسَى النَّاسُ مَسَاءَ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي فُتِحَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْقَدُوا نِيرَانًا كَثِيرَةً فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا هَذِهِ النِّيرَانُ عَلَى أَىِّ شَىْءٍ تُوقِدُونَ قَالُوا عَلَى لَحْمٍ قَالَ عَلَى أَىِّ لَحْمٍ قَالُوا لَحْمِ حُمُرِ الإِنْسِيَّةِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَهْرِيقُوهَا وَاكْسِرُوهَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوْ نُهَرِيقُهَا وَنَغْسِلُهَا قَالَ أَوْ ذَاكَ فَلَمَّا تَصَافَّ الْقَوْمُ كَانَ سَيْفُ عَامِرٍ قَصِيرًا فَتَنَاوَلَ بِهِ سَاقَ يَهُودِيٍّ لِيَضْرِبَهُ وَيَرْجِعُ ذُبَابُ سَيْفِهِ فَأَصَابَ عَيْنَ رُكْبَةِ عَامِرٍ فَمَاتَ مِنْهُ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَفَلُوا قَالَ سَلَمَةُ رَآنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهْوَ آخِذٌ بِيَدِي قَالَ مَا لَكَ قُلْتُ لَهُ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي زَعَمُوا أَنَّ عَامِرًا حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ كَذَبَ مَنْ قَالَهُ إِنَّ لَهُ لأَجْرَيْنِ وَجَمَعَ بَيْنَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ إِنَّهُ لَجَاهِدٌ مُجَاهِدٌ قَلَّ عَرَبِيٌّ مَشَى بِهَا مِثْلَهُ حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ قَالَ نَشَأَ بِهَا

We went out with Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Khaibar and we travelled during the night. A man amongst the people said to 'Amir bin Al-Aqwa', "Won't you let us hear your poetry?" 'Amir was a poet, and so he got down and started (chanting Huda) reciting for the people, poetry that keep pace with the camel's foot steps, saying, "O Allah! Without You we would not have been guided on the right path, neither would we have given in charity, nor would we have prayed. So please forgive us what we have committed. Let all of us be sacrificed for Your cause and when we meet our enemy, make our feet firm and bestow peace and calmness on us and if they (our enemy) will call us towards an unjust thing we will refuse. The infidels have made a hue and cry to ask others help against us. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who is that driver (of the camels)?" They said, "He is 'Amir bin Al-Aqwa."' He said, "May Allah bestow His mercy on him." A man among the people said, Has Martyrdom been granted to him, O Allah's Prophet! Would that you let us enjoy his company longer." We reached (the people of) Khaibar and besieged them till we were stricken with severe hunger but Allah helped the Muslims conquer Khaibar. In the evening of its conquest the people made many fires. Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "What are those fires? For what are you making fires?" They said, "For cooking meat." He asked, "What kind of meat?" They said, "Donkeys' meat." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Throw away the meat and break the cooking pots." A man said, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Shall we throw away the meat and wash the cooking pots?" He said, "You can do that too." When the army files aligned in rows (for the battle), 'Amir's sword was a short one, and while attacking a Jew with it in order to hit him, the sharp edge of the sword turned back and hit 'Amir's knee and caused him to die. When the Muslims returned (from the battle), Salama said, Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw me pale and said, 'What is wrong with you?"' I said, "Let my parents be sacrificed for you! The people claim that all the deeds of Amir have been annulled." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Who said so?" I replied, "So-and-so and soand- so and Usaid bin Al-Hudair Al-Ansari said, 'Whoever says so is telling a lie. Verily, 'Amir will have double reward."' (While speaking) the Prophet ﷺ put two of his fingers together to indicate that, and added, "He was really a hard-working man and a Mujahid (devout fighter in Allah's Cause) and rarely have there lived in it (i.e., Medina or the battle-field) an "Arab like him."

Abu ʿAbdur-Rahman and Hibban bin 'Atiyya had a dispute. Abu ʿAbdur-Rahman said to Hibban, "You know what made your companions (i.e. ʿAli) dare to shed blood." Hibban said, "Come on! What is that?" ʿAbdur-Rahman said, "Something I heard him saying." The other said, "What was it?" ʿAbdurRahman said, "ʿAli said, Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for me, Az-Zubair and Abu Marthad, and all of us were cavalry men, and said, 'Proceed to Raudat-Hajj (Abu Salama said that Abu 'Awana called it like this, i.e., Hajj where there is a woman carrying a letter from Hatib bin Abi Balta'a to the pagans (of Mecca). So bring that letter to me.' So we proceeded riding on our horses till we overtook her at the same place of which Messenger of Allah ﷺ had told us. She was traveling on her camel. In that letter Hatib had written to the Meccans about the proposed attached of Messenger of Allah ﷺ against them. We asked her, "Where is the letter which is with you?' She replied, 'I haven't got any letter.' So we made her camel kneel down and searched her luggage, but we did not find anything. My two companions said, 'We do not think that she has got a letter.' I said, 'We know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ has not told a lie.'" Then ʿAli took an oath saying, "By Him by Whom one should swear! You shall either bring out the letter or we shall strip off your clothes." She then stretched out her hand for her girdle (round her waist) and brought out the paper (letter). They took the letter to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. ʿUmar said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! (Hatib) has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers; let me chop off his neck!" Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Hatib! What obliged you to do what you have done?" Hatib replied, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Why (for what reason) should I not believe in Allah and His Apostle? But I intended to do the (Mecca) people a favor by virtue of which my family and property may be protected as there is none of your companions but has some of his people (relatives) whom Allah urges to protect his family and property." The Prophet ﷺ said, "He has said the truth; therefore, do not say anything to him except good." ʿUmar again said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! He has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers; let me chop his neck off!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Isn't he from those who fought the battle of Badr? And what do you know, Allah might have looked at them (Badr warriors) and said (to them), 'Do what you like, for I have granted you Paradise?' " On that, ʿUmar's eyes became flooded with tears and he said, "Allah and His Apostle know best."

We marched upon Khaibar with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We journeyed during the night. One of the people said to (my brother) 'Amir b. al-Akwa': Won't you recite to us some of your verses? Amir was a poet. So he began to chant his verses to urge the camels, reciting: O God, if Thou hadst not guided us We would have neither been guided rightly nor practised charity, Nor offered prayers. We wish to lay down our lives for Thee; so forgive Thou our lapses, And keep us steadfast when we encounter (our enemies). Bestow upon us peace and tranquillity. Behold, when with a cry they called upon us to help. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Who is this driver (of the camels)? They said: It is 'Amir. He said: God will show mercy to him. A man said: Martyrdom is reserved for him. Messenger of Allah, would that you had allowed us to benefit ourselves from his life. (The narrator says): We reached Khaibar and besieged them, and (we continued the siege) until extreme hunger afflicted us. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Behold, God has conquered it for you. When it was evening of the day on which the city was conquered. the Muslims lit many fires. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What are these fires? And what are they cooking? They said: They are cooking meat. He asked. Which meat? They said: That of domestic asses. He said: Let them throw it away and break the pots (in which it is being cooked). A man said: Or should they throw it away and wash the pots? He said: They may do that. When the people drew themselves up in battle array 'Amir caught hold of his sword that was rather short He drove a Jew before him to strike him with it. (As he struck him), his sword recoiled and struck his own knee, and 'Amir died of the wound. When the people returned (after the conquest of Kliaibar) and he (Salama) had caught hold of my hand, and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw that I was silent (and dejected) ; he said: What's the matter with thee? I said to him: My father and my mother be thy ransom, people presume that 'Amir's sacrifice has been in vain. He asked: Who has said that? I said: So and so and Usaid b. Hudair al-Ansari. He said: Who has said that has lied. For him (for 'Amir) there is a double reward. (He indicated this by putting two of his fingers together.) He was a devotee of God and a warrior fighting for His cause. There will be hardly any Arab who can fight as bravely as he did. Qutaiba has differed in a few words.

What is this hadith that you narrate that the Last Hour would come at such and such time? Thereupon he said: Hallowed be Allah, there is no god but Allah (or the words to the same effect). I have decided that I would not narrate anything to anyone now. I had only said that you would see after some time an important event that the (sacred) House (Ka'ba) would be burnt and it would happen and definitely happen. He then reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The Dajjal would appear in my Ummah and he would stay (in the world) for forty - I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years. And Allah would then send Jesus son of Mary who would resemble 'Urwa b Mas'ud. He (Jesus Christ) would chase him and kill him. Then people would live for seven years that there would be no rancour between two persons. Then Allah would send cold wind from the side of Syria that none would survive upon the earth having a speck of good in him or faith in him but he would die, so much so that even if some amongst you were to enter the innermost part of the mountain, this wind would reach that place also and that would cause his death. I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Only the wicked people would survive and they would be as careless as birds with the characteristics of beasts. They would never appreciate the good nor condemn evil. Then Satan would come to them in human form and would say: Don't you respond? And they would say: What do you order us? And he would command them to worship the idols but, in spite of this, they would have abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives. Then the trumpet would be blown and no one would hear that but he would bend his neck to one side and raise it from the other side and the first one to hear that trumpet would be the person who would be busy in setting right the tank meant for providing water to the camels. He would swoon and the other people would also swoon, then Allah would send or He would cause to send rain which would be like dew and there would grow out of it the bodies of the people. Then the second trumpet would be blown and they would stand up and begin to look (around). Then it would be said: O people, go to your Lord, and make them stand there. And they would be questioned. Then it would be said: Bring out a group (out of them) for the Hell-Fire. And then it would be asked: How much? It would be said: Nine hundred and ninty-nine out of one thousand for the Hell-Fire and that would be the day which would make the children old because of its terror and that would be the day about which it has been said: "On the day when the shank would be uncovered" (lxviii. 42).

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.

"The Prophet ﷺ went out during an hour in which he would normally not go out, nor meet with anyone. Then Abu Bakr came to him. So he said:"What brought you O Abu Bakr?" He said: "I came to meet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and to look at his face, and to make sure he was safe. It was not long before 'Umar came. He said: "What has brought you O 'Umar ?" He said: "Hunger O Messenger of Allah!"He said: "I also experienced some of that" So they went to the home of Abu Al-Haitham At-Taiyyihan Al-Ansari. He was a man with many date-palms and sheep, but he had no servants so they did not find him there. They said to his wife: "Where is your companion?" She said: "He has gone to fetch us some good water." It was not long before Abu Al-Haitham came along hauling to a large water-skin which he put down. Then he came to hug the Prophet ﷺ and uttered that his father and mother should be ransomed for him. Then he went to grove of his and he spread out a mat for them. Then he went to a date-palm and returned with a cluster of dates which he put down. The prophet ﷺ said: "Why don't you select some ripe dates for us?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I wanted you to select from the ripe dates and the unripe dates." So they ate and they drank from that water. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! This is among the favors which you shall be asked about on the Day of Judgement. Cool shade, tasty ripe dates, and cool water." Abu Al-Haitham left to prepare some food for them. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Do not slaughter one with milk." So he Slaughtered a small female or male goat and brought it to them so they could eat it. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Do you have any servants?" He said: "No." So he said: "Then if we get some captives we shall bring them for you." So (later) the Prophet ﷺ came with 2 males, there was no third among them and he brought them to Abu Al-Haitham. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Choose from them." He said: "O Prophet of Allah! Choose for me." So the Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed the one consulted is entrusted. Take this one for I have seen him praying, and encourage him to do well." So Abu Al-Haitham went to his wife and informed her of what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said. So his wife said: "You will not fulfill what the Prophet ﷺ said until you have freed him." So he said: "He is free." So the Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed Allah has not send a Prophet nor made a Khalifah except that he has two groups of supporters, group ordering him to do good, and prohibiting him from evil and a group that never ceases spoiling his affairs. So whoever protected."

"I went to the Prophet ﷺ while he was sitting in the Masjid, the people said: 'This is 'Adi bin Hatim.' And I came without having a treaty nor a writ. When I was brought to him, he took my hand. Prior to that he had said: 'I hope that Allah will place his hand in my hand.'" He said: "He stood with me, and a woman and a boy met him and said: 'We have a need from you.' He stood with them, until he was finished dealing with what they wanted. Then he took me by the hand until he brought me to his house. A slave girl brought him a cushion to sit on, and I sat in front of him. He expressed thanks and praise for Allah then said: 'What has caused you to flee from saying La Ilaha Illallah? Do you know of another god other than Him?'" He said: "I said: 'No.'" He said: "Then he talked for some time, and then said: 'You refuse to say Allahu Akbar because you know that there is something greater than Allah?'" He said: "I said: 'No.' He said: 'Indeed the Jews are those who Allah is wrath with, and the Christians have strayed.'" He said: "I said: 'Indeed I am a Muslim, Hanif.'" He said: "I saw his face smiling with happiness." He said: "Then he ordered that I stop with him at the home of a man from the Ansar, whom he would frequently visit in the mornings and the evenings. When I was with him at night, a people in woolen garments of these Nimar (a cloth with certain patters, and the word appeared before) came. Then he performed Salat and stood to encourage them (the people) to give (charity) to them. Then he said: 'Even with a Sa' or half a Sa', or a handful or part of a handful, to save the face of one of you from the heat of Hell, or the Fire. And even if it be by a date or a part of a date - for indeed one of you shall meet Allah and it shall be said to him what I say to you: "Have I not given hearing and seeing to you?" He shall say: "Of course." It will be said: "Have I not given you wealth and children?" He shall say: "Of course." It will be said: "So where is what you have sent forth for yourself?" He will look before him and behind him, on his right and on his left, but he shall not find anything to protect his face from the heat of Hell. Let one of you protect his face from the Fire, even if with part of a date, and if he does not find that, then with a good statement. For indeed I do not fear poverty for you - Allah will aid you and grant you, such that a woman can travel on her camel howda from Yathrib to Al-Hirah, or further, without fear of being robbed.' I began thinking to myself: "Where would the thieves of Taiy' be then?"'

"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] would sit among his Companions and if a stranger came, he would not know which of them was he (the Prophet [SAW]) until he asked. So we suggested to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] that we should make a dais for him so that any stranger would know him if he came to him. So we built for him a bench made of clay on which he used to sit. (One day) we were sitting and the Messenger of Allah [SAW] was sitting in his spot, when a man came along who was the most handsome and good-smelling of all people, and it was as if no dirt had ever touched his garments. He came near the edge of the rug and greeted him, saying: 'Peace be upon you, O Muhammad!' He returned the greeting, and he said: 'Shall I come closer, O Muhammad?' He came a little closer, and he kept telling him to come closer, until he put his hands on the knees of the Messenger of Allah [SAW]. He said: 'O Muhammad, tell me, what is Islam?' He said: 'Islam means to worship Allah and not associate anything with Him; to establish Salah, to pay Zakah, to perform Hajj to the House, and to fast Ramadan.' He said: 'If I do that, will I have submitted (be a Muslim)?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'You have spoken the truth,' we found it odd. He said: 'O Muhammad, tell me, what is faith?' He said: 'To believe in Allah [SWT], His Angels, the Book, the Prophets, and to believe in the Divine Decree.' He said: 'If I do that, will I have believed?' The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'Yes.' He said: 'You have spoken the truth.' He said: 'O Muhammad, tell me, what is Al-Ihsan?' He said: 'To worship Allah [SWT] as if you can see Him, for although you cannot see Him, He can see you.' He said: 'You have spoken the truth.' He said: 'O Muhammad, tell me about the Hour.' He lowered his head and did not answer. Then he repeated the question, and he did not answer. Then he repeated the question (a third time) and he did not answer. Then he raised his head and said: 'The one who is being asked does not know more than the one who is asking. But it has signs, by which it may be known. When you see the herdsmen competing in building tall buildings, when you see the barefoot and naked ruling the Earth, when you see a woman giving birth to her mistress. Five things which no one knows except Allah [SWT]. Verily, Allah, with Him (alone) is the knowledge of the Hour up to His saying: 'Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware (of things).' Then he said: 'No, by the One who sent Muhammad with the truth, with guidance and glad tidings, I did not know him more than any man among you. That was Jibril, peace be upon you, who came down in the form of Dihyah Al-Kalbi.'"

I saw a dream that I can only interpret as meaning that my death is near; I saw as if a rooster pecked me twice, and I was told that it was a red rooster. I told this dream to Asma’ bint 'Umais, the wife of Abu Bakr , and she said: You will be killed by a Persian man. The people are asking me to appoint a successor, but Allah will not cause His religion and His caliphate, with which He sent His Prophet ﷺ to be lost. If death comes to me soon, then the caliphate is to be decided by these six men with whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was pleased when he died. Whichever of them you swear allegiance to, then listen to him and obey. I know that some people will object to this matter. I have fought them with my own hands in the defence of Islam. They are the enemies of Allah and misguided kafirs. By Allah, I am not leaving behind anything that my Lord instructed me to do and I came to the position of caliphate on that basis that is more important to me than kalalah. By Allah, the Prophet of Allah ﷺ never emphasised any issue to me since I accompanied him more than the issue of kalalah, until he poked me in the chest with his finger and said: ʿIs not ayatas-saif (the verse of summer, i.e., it was revealed in summer), which appears at the end of Sooratan Nisa', sufficient for you?ʿ If I live I will issue a decree that will be so clear that those who read the Qur'an and those who do not read it will be able to make decisions concerning it. I call upon Allah to bear witness over the governors of the regions, for I only sent them to be just and to teach the people their religion and the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ and to refer to me concerning any difficult matter. O people, you eat two plants which I find to be nothing but repugnant, this onion and garlic. I remember the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, if he noticed their smell coming from a man in the mosque, he would issue orders that he taken out from the mosque to al-Baqee'. Whoever must eat them, let him cook them to death.” He said: He addressed the people on Friday and was attacked on Wednesday.

ʿI have seen a dream, in which I saw myself being pecked by a rooster twice, and I think it signals my death. The people are telling me to appoint a caliph after me. Allah will not cause His caliphate or His religion to be lost, or that with which He sent His Prophet ﷺ. If I die, then the caliphate is to be decided by a council of these six men with whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was pleased when he died, then whichever of them you swear allegiance to, listen to him and obey. I know that there are some men then who will seek to undermine this matter, and I have sought them with these two hands of mine in support of Islam. It they do that, then those are the enemies of Allah, the misguided disbelievers. By Allah, I am not leaving behind anything of more concern to me than kalalah. I asked the Prophet ﷺ of Allah about it and he never spoke to me in such a harsh manner as he did with regard to that, to such an extent that he poked me in the chest or side with his hand or his finger and said: ʿO ʿUmar: The verse at the end of Soorah an Nisa’ that was revealed in summer is sufficient for you.” If I live, I will pass a judgement concerning it that no one who reads Qurʿan or who does not read Qurʿan will dispute. Then ʿUmar said: O Allah, bear witness concerning the governors of the regions; I sent them to teach the people their religion and the Sunnah of their Prophet ﷺ, and to divide the saiʿ among them, and to judge between them on a fair basis, and whatever they found difficult they were to refer to me. Then he said: O people, you eat two plants that I think are nothing but distasteful, this garlic and onion. At the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I would see that is the smell of these things was found on a man, he would be taken by the hand and led out to al-Baqeeʿ. Whoever must eat them, let him cook them to death.ʻUmar said this in a khutbah on Friday, and was stabbed on Wednesday 26 Dhul Hijjah.

[AI] "In the battle of Uhud, the women used to stand behind the Muslim men and tend to the wounds of the polytheists. So, if I made an oath that day, I hoped to fulfill it because none of us desired the worldly life until Allah revealed, 'Among you are some who desire the world, and among you are some who desire the Hereafter. Then He turned you away from them to test you.' [Quran 3:152] When the Prophet ﷺ and his companions disobeyed and did not follow the orders they were given, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained alone with nine Ansaris, two men from Quraysh, and he was the tenth. When they were overwhelmed, he said, 'May Allah have mercy on a man who separated them from us.' Then a man from the Ansar stood up and fought until he was killed. When he was also overwhelmed, he said, 'May Allah have mercy on a man who separated them from us.' He kept saying this until all seven of them were killed. Then the Prophet ﷺ said to his companions, 'Our martyrs and your martyrs are not equal. Our martyrs are alive and provided for, while your martyrs are being punished in the Fire.' Abu Sufyan came and said, 'Declare victory, Hu'bal.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Say, 'Allah is our protector and you have no protector.'' So they said, 'Allah is our protector and you have no protector.' Abu Sufyan said, 'We have Uzza and you have no Uzza.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Say, 'Allah is our superior and our most majestic.''' Abu Sufyan said, 'A day for a (good) day, a day for us and a day for you, a day of women and a day of men fighting individually.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'No comparison. As for our dead, they are provided for by Allah, while as for your dead, they are being punished in the Fire.' Abu Sufyan said, 'The matter was similar among your people, but there was no one among us who had commanded, forbidden, liked, disliked, harmed, or benefited me regarding it.' Then they looked and saw that Hamzah's stomach had been slit and Hind had chewed his liver, but she was unable to swallow it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Has she eaten any of it?' They said, 'No.' He said, 'Allah would not let anything of Hamzah enter the Fire.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed Hamzah and offered the funeral prayer for him. Then another man was brought from the Ansar and placed by his side, and the funeral prayer was offered for him. The Ansari was raised, and Hamzah was left without offering the funeral prayer for him until seventy prayers were offered for him that day."

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

[AI] 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."

[AI] I have seen three things from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that no one before me had seen and no one after me will see. I went with him on a journey until when we were on a certain path, we passed by a woman who had a child with her. She said, "O Messenger of Allah, this child has been afflicted with a harm, and we have been afflicted with harm from him. He seizes us multiple times a day." He said, "Give him to me." So she handed him to him, and he placed him between himself and the saddle of the camel. Then he blew in his mouth three times and said, "In the name of Allah, I am the servant of Allah, get out, O enemy of Allah." Then he returned him to her and said, "We will pass by this place on the return journey, so inform us what the child is like." She said, "We went and returned and found him at that place with three sheep-like animals." He asked, "What did your child do?" She said, "By the One who sent you with the truth, we did not sense any change in him until now." He said, "Gather these sheep together." He then said, "Go to them and tell them that the Messenger of Allah orders both of you to return to your respective places." He said, "I was sitting with him on a certain day when a camel came, making noise and hitting its legs in front of him. Then his eyes shed tears and he said, 'Look at whose camel this is. It has some importance.'" So I went to search for its owner and found it belonged to a man from the Ansar. I called him and he asked, "What is the matter with your camel?" I asked, "What is the matter with it?" He said, "I don’t know, by Allah. We have worked on it and exhausted it to the point that it can no longer be watered. We decided just yesterday to slaughter it and divide its meat among ourselves." He said, "Don’t do that. Give it to me." The man said, "No, it is for you, O Messenger of Allah." So he marked it with the seal of charity and then sent it away.

لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثًا مَا رَآهَا أَحَدٌ قَبْلِي وَلَا يَرَاهَا أَحَدٌ بَعْدِي لَقَدْ خَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ فِي سَفَرٍ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ مَرَرْنَا بِامْرَأَةٍ جَالِسَةٍ مَعَهَا صَبِيٌّ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا صَبِيٌّ أَصَابَهُ بَلَاءٌ وَأَصَابَنَا مِنْهُ بَلَاءٌ يُؤْخَذُ فِي الْيَوْمِ مَا أَدْرِي كَمْ مَرَّةً قَالَ نَاوِلِينِيهِ فَرَفَعَتْهُ إِلَيْهِ فَجَعَلتْهُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ وَاسِطَةِ الرَّحْلِ ثُمَّ فَغَرَ فَاهُ فَنَفَثَ فِيهِ ثَلَاثًا وَقَالَ بِسْمِ اللهِ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ اخْسَأْ عَدُوَّ اللهِ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَهَا إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ الْقَيْنَا فِي الرَّجْعَةِ فِي هَذَا الْمَكَانِ فَأَخْبِرِينَا مَا فَعَلَ قَالَ فَذَهَبْنَا وَرَجَعْنَا فَوَجَدْنَاهَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ مَعَهَا شِيَاهٌ ثَلَاثٌ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَ صَبِيُّكِ؟ فَقَالَتْ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا حَسَسْنَا مِنْهُ شَيْئًا حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ فَاجْتَرِرْ هَذِهِ الْغَنَمَقَالَ انْزِلْ فَخُذْ مِنْهَا وَاحِدَةً وَرُدَّ الْبَقِيَّةَ قَالَ وَخَرَجْنَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِلَى الْجَبَّانَةِ حَتَّى إِذَا بَرَزْنَا قَالَ انْظُرْ وَيْحَكَ هَلْ تَرَى مِنْ شَيْءٍ يُوَارِينِي؟ قُلْتُ مَا أَرَى شَيْئًا يُوَارِيكَ إِلَّا شَجَرَةً مَا أُرَاهَا تُوَارِيكَ قَالَ فَمَا قُرْبُهَا ؟ قُلْتُ شَجَرَةٌ مِثْلُهَا أَوْ قَرِيبٌ مِنْهَا قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ إِلَيْهِمَا فَقُلْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُكُمَا أَنْ تَجْتَمِعَا بِإِذْنِ اللهِ قَالَ فَاجْتَمَعَتَا فَبَرَزَ لِحَاجَتِهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ إِلَيْهِمَا فَقُلْ لَهُمَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُكُمَا أَنْ تَرْجِعَ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمَا إِلَى مَكَانِهَا قَالَ وَكُنْتُ مَعَهُ جَالِسًا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِذْ جَاءَ جَمَلٌ يُخَبِّبُ حَتَّى ضَرَبَ بِجِرَانِهِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ ذَرَفَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ انْظُرْ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْجَمَلُ إِنَّ لَهُ لَشَأْنًا قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ أَلْتَمِسُ صَاحِبَهُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَدَعَوْتُهُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُ جَمَلِكَ هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ وَمَا شَأْنُهُ؟ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي وَاللهِ مَا شَأْنُهُ عَمِلْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَنَضَحْنَا عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى عَجَزَ عَنِ السِّقَايَةِ فَأْتَمَرْنَا الْبَارِحَةَ أَنْ نَنْحَرَهُ وَنُقَسِّمَ لَحْمَهُ قَالَ فَلَا تَفْعَلْ هَبْهُ لِي أَوْ بِعْنِيهِ فَقَالَ بَلْ هُوَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَوَسَمَهُ بِسِمَةِالصَّدَقَةِ ثُمَّ بَعَثَ بِهِ

[AI] On the day of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stationed fifty archers at a certain point and told them, "If you see that the birds are snatching us away, do not leave your positions until I send for you. And if you see us prevailing over the enemy and trampling them, do not leave until I send for you." Abdullah ibn Jubayr said, "Indeed, we saw the women tightening their belts and raising their clothes while standing on the mountains." The companions of Abdullah ibn Jubayr asked, "What about the spoils? O people of the spoils, your companions have prevailed, so why are you waiting?" Abdullah ibn Jubayr replied, "Have you forgotten what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ told you?" They said, "By Allah, we will not give up our shares of the spoils." When they reached the enemy, their faces turned back in defeat and they retreated. This was what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had warned them about. Only twelve men remained with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and they killed seventy captives and seventy enemies on the day of Badr. Abu Sufyan asked, "Is Muhammad among the people?" He repeated the question three times until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stopped them from answering. Then he asked, "Is the son of Abu Quhafa among the people?" He repeated the question twice until Abu Bakr and Umar answered. Then he turned to his companions and said, "As for these, they have been killed and you have already avenged them. So, Umar has no right to say that you have told a lie. By the Lord of Allah, all those whom you counted are alive, and you still have what will harm you." He recited, "On the day of Badr, and war is a thing in which you will find great recklessness. And you will surely find there among them a great disturbance." Then he began to recite the verse, "O believers, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what should we say?" He replied, "Say, 'Allah is our Protector and you have no protector.'"

[AI] 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."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَبِثَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ يَتْبَعُ النَّاسَ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ وَمَجَنَّةِ وَعُكَاظٍ وَمَنَازِلِهِمْ مِنْ مِنَىً «مَنْ يُؤْوِينِي مَنْ يَنْصُرُنِي حَتَّى أُبَلِّغَ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ؟» فَلَا يَجِدُ أَحَدًا يَنْصُرُهُ وَلَا يُؤْوِيَهُ حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَرْحَلُ مِنْ مِصْرَ أَوْ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ إِلَى ذِي رَحِمِهِ فَيَأْتِيهِ قَوْمُهُ فَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ احْذَرْ غُلَامَ قُرَيْشٍ لَا يَفْتِنَّنَكَ وَيَمْشِي بَيْنَ رِحَالِهِمْ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ ﷻ يُشِيرُونَ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ حَتَّى بَعَثَنَا اللَّهُ مِنْ يَثْرِبَ فَيَأْتِيهِ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا فَيُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَيُقْرِئُهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَيُسْلِمُونَ بِإِسْلَامِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ دَارٌ مِنْ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَّا وَفِيهَا رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يُظْهِرُونَ الْإِسْلَامَ وَبَعَثَنَا اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ فَائْتَمَرْنَا وَاجْتَمَعْنَا وَقُلْنَا حَتَّى مَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُطْرَدُ فِي جِبَالِ مَكَّةَ وَيَخَافُ فَرَحَلْنَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ فَوَاعَدَنَا بَيْعَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَمُّهُ الْعَبَّاسُ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي لَا أَدْرِي مَا هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمُ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوكَ إِنِّي ذُو مَعْرِفَةٍ بِأَهْلِ يَثْرِبَ فَاجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَهُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَرَجُلَيْنِ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ الْعَبَّاسُ فِي وُجُوهِنَا قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُمْ 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 تَأْخُذْكُمْ لَوْمَةُ لَائِمٍ وَعَلَى أَنْ تَنْصُرُونِيَ إِذَا قَدِمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَمْنَعُونِي مِمَّا تَمْنَعُونَ عَنْهُ أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجَكُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَلَكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ» فَقُمْنَا نُبَايِعُهُ وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ أَسْعَدُ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُ السَّبْعِينَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ رُوَيْدًا يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ إِنَّا لَمْ نَضْرِبْ إِلَيْهِ أَكْبَادَ الْمَطِيِّ إِلَّا وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَنَّ إِخْرَاجَهُ الْيَوْمَ مُفَارَقَةُ الْعَرَبِ كَافَّةً وَقَتْلُ خِيَارِكُمْ وَأَنَّ يَعَضَّكُمُ السَّيْفُ 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 عُذْرٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ﷻ فَقَالُوا يَا أَسْعَدُ أَمِطْ عَنَّا يَدَكَ فَوَاللَّهِ لَا نَذَرُ هَذِهِ الْبَيْعَةَ وَلَا نَسْتَقِيلُهَا قَالَ فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ رَجُلًا رَجُلًا فَأَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا لِيُعْطِيَنَا بِذَلِكَ الْجَنَّةَ

[AI] "When it was the Day of the Confederates or the Day of Uhud and we encountered the polytheists, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ assembled an army of archers and appointed Abdullah ibn Jubayr as their commander. He said, 'Do not leave your positions. If you see us prevailing over them, do not come to our aid. But if you see them prevailing over us, do not hesitate to assist us.'

When we encountered the enemy, the Muslims emerged victorious, to the point where you could see the women heading towards the mountains, letting loose their hair and saying, 'The spoils! The spoils!' Abdullah called out to them, 'Wait, haven't you heard what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ instructed you?' So they returned.

When they approached the enemy, Allah diverted their attention from us, and the Muslims suffered ninety casualties. Then Abu Sufyan, who was on a high mound, asked, 'Is Muhammad among the people?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do not respond to him.' Then he asked, 'Is the son of Abu Quhafa among the people?' He repeated this question three times, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do not respond to him.' Then he asked, 'Is Umar ibn Al-Khattab among the people?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do not respond to him.'

Then he turned to his companions and said, 'As for these people who were killed, if they were alive, they would have responded to him.' 'Umar could not control himself and said, 'You lie, O enemy of Allah! Allah has kept for us such things that will disgrace you.' Abu Sufyan said, 'Hobal! Hobal!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Respond to him.' They asked, 'What should we say?' He replied, 'Say, "Allah is the Most High and Most Honorable."'

Abu Sufyan said, 'We have lineage and you do not.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Respond to him.' They asked, 'What should we say?' He replied, 'Say, "Allah is our Protector and you have no protector."'

Then Abu Sufyan said, 'A day for a day, the war is a scale. Surely, you will find among them some who were not commanded by me to be killed, nor did they harm me.'

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْأَحْزَابِ أَوْ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَلَقِينَا الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَجْلِسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَيْشًا مِنَ الرُّمَاةِ وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ وَقَالَ «لَا تَبْرَحُوا مِنْ مَكَانَكُمْ إِنْ رَأَيْتُمُونَا ظَهَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ وَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمُوهُمْ ظَهَرُوا عَلَيْنَا فَلَا تُعِينُونَا» فَلَمَّا لَقِينَا الْقَوْمَ وَهَزَمَهُمُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ حَتَّى رَأَيْتَ النِّسَاءَ يَشْتَدِدْنَ فِي الْجَبَلِ قَدْ رَفَعْنَ عَنْ سُوقِهِنَّ قَدْ بَدَتْ خَلَاخِيلُهُنَّ فَأَخَذُوا يَنْقَلِبُونَ وَيَقُولُونَ الْغَنِيمَةَ الْغَنِيمَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مَهْلًا أَمَا عَلِمْتُمْ مَا عَهِدَ إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقُوا فَلَمَّا أَتَوْهُمْ صَرَفَ اللَّهُ وجُوهَهُمْ فَأُصِيبَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ تِسْعُونَ قَتِيلًا ثُمَّ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ أَشْرَفَ عَلَيْنَا وَهُوَ عَلَى نَشَزٍ فَقَالَ أَفِي الْقَوْمِ مُحَمَّدٌ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تُجِيبُوهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ أَفِي الْقَوْمِ ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةُ؟ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تُجِيبُوهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ أَفِي الْقَوْمِ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تُجِيبُوهُ» فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ أَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ فَقَدْ قُتِلُوا لَوْ كَانُوا أَحْيَاءَ لَأَجَابُوا فَلَمْ يَمْلِكْ عُمَرُ نَفْسَهُ أَنْ قَالَ كَذَبْتَ يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ قَدْ أَبْقَى اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا يُخْزِيكَ فَقَالَ اعْلُ هُبَلُ اعْلُ هُبَلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَجِيبُوهُ» فَقَالُوا مَا نَقُولُ؟ قَالَ «قُولُوا اللَّهُ أَعْلَى وَأَجَلُّ» فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ أَلَا لَنَا الْعُزَّى وَلَا عُزَّى لَكُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَجِيبُوهُ» قَالُوا مَا نَقُولُ؟ قَالَ «قُولُوا اللَّهُ مَوْلَانَا وَلَا مَوْلَى لَكُمْ» فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَوْمٌ بِيَوْمِ بَدْرٍ وَالْحَرْبُ سِجَالٌ أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ سَتَجِدُونَ فِي الْقَوْمِ مُثْلَةً لَمْ آمُرْ بِهَا وَلَمْ تَسُؤْنِي

[AI] 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.

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the Isha prayer, then he turned away, took me by the hand, and went out to the Batha, the Batha of Mecca. Then he drew a line around him—that is, around Abdullah ibn Masud—and then said: "Do not leave your line, and if anyone reaches you, do not speak to him." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went on to wherever he wished. While I was sitting within my line, men came to me as though they were the Zutt in their hair and bodies. They would not cross the line, then they would go on toward the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When it was near the end of the night, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came while I was sitting, and he said: "These have troubled me tonight." Then he came in to me within my line, used my thigh as a pillow, and slept. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ slept, he would breathe audibly in sleep.

While I was sitting and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was resting his head on my thigh, suddenly I saw men who looked like men of the Hijaz. They wore white garments, and Allah knows best the beauty they possessed. A group of them sat by the head of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and a group by his feet. Then they said among themselves, "We have never seen anyone given what this Prophet has been given. His eyes are asleep, but his heart is awake. So strike a parable for him." I think he said: "Of a man who built a palace, then prepared a banquet and invited people to his food. Whoever answered him ate from his food and drank from his drink, and whoever did not answer him, he punished him—or he was punished." Then they rose up.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ awoke and said to me: "Did you hear what these said? And do you know who they are?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "They are the angels." He said: "Do you know the parable that they struck?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "The parable they struck is this: the Lord ﷻ built Paradise and called His servants to it. Whoever answered Him entered Paradise, and whoever did not answer Him, He punished him—or chastised him."

We do not know this hadith to be narrated from Abdullah except through this route. Al-Taymi narrated it and differed with Jafar ibn Maymun in its chain of transmission, saying: from Amr al-Bikali, from Abu Uthman.

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ، فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي، وَخَرَجَ إِلَى الْبَطْحَاءِ بَطْحَاءَ مَكَّةَ، ثُمَّ خَطَّ عَلَيْهِ خَطًّا، يَعْنِي عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «لَا تَبْرَحَنَّ خَطَّكَ، فَإِنِ انْتَهَى إِلَيْكَ أَحَدٌ فَلَا تُكَلِّمْهُ». ثُمَّ مَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَيْثُ أَرَادَ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ فِي خُطًى، إِذْ أَتَانِي رِجَالٌ كَأَنَّهُمُ الزُّطُّ، أَشْعَارُهُمْ وَأَجْسَادُهُمْ، لَا يُجَاوِزُونَ الْخَطَّ، ثُمَّ يَصِيرُونَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ، جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا جَالِسٌ، فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ آذَانِي هَؤُلَاءِ اللَّيْلَةَ». ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ فِي خَطِّي، فَتَوَسَّدَ فَخِذِي فَرَقَدَ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَقَدَ نَفَخَ النَّوْمَ نَفْخًا.

فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا قَاعِدٌ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُتَوَسِّدٌ فَخِذِي، إِذَا أَنَا بِرِجَالٍ كَأَنَّهُمْ رِجَالُ الْحِجَازِ، عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَابٌ بِيضٌ، اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ مَا بِهِمْ مِنَ الْجَمَالِ، فَجَلَسَ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَطَائِفَةٌ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالُوا بَيْنَهُمْ: مَا رَأَيْنَا أَحَدًا قَطُّ أُوتِيَ مَا أُوتِيَ هَذَا النَّبِيُّ، إِنَّ عَيْنَيْهَ نَائِمَةٌ وَقَلْبَهُ يَقْظَانُ، فَاضْرِبُوا لَهُ مَثَلًا، أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: بِرَجُلٍ بَنَى قَصْرًا، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مَأْدُبَةً، وَدَعَا النَّاسَ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ، فَمَنْ أَجَابَهُ أَكَلَ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ، وَشَرِبَ مِنْ شَرَابِهِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبْهُ عَاقَبَهُ أَوْ عُوقِبَ. ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعُوا.

فَاسْتَيْقَظَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ لِي: «سَمِعْتَ مَا قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ وَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَنْ هُمْ؟» قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: «هُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ». قَالَ: «فَتَدْرِي مَا الْمَثَلُ الَّذِي ضَرَبُوهُ؟» قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: «مَثَلُ الَّذِي ضَرَبُوا: الرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى بَنَى الْجَنَّةَ، وَدَعَا إِلَيْهَا عِبَادَهُ، فَمَنْ أَجَابَهُ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبْهُ عَاقَبَهُ أَوْ عَذَّبَهُ».

وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَا نَعْلَمُهُ يُرْوَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ، وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ التَّيْمِيُّ فَخَالَفَ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مَيْمُونٍ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ، وَقَالَ: عَنْ عَمْرٍو الْبِكَالِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ.

قَالَ مَنْ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ ؟ قُلْتُ وَمَا تَذْكُرُ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي وَثَبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ سُوَرِ الطَّائِفِ ؟ فَقَالَ بَلَى فَرَحَّبَ بِي ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُنَا فَقَالَ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ ابْنُ حَمَلِ الضَّأْنِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قُلْتُ وَمَا حَمَلُ الضَّأْنِ ؟ قَالَ رَجُلٌ أَحَدُ أَبَوَيْهِ شَيْطَانٌ يَمْلِكُ الرُّومَ يَجِيءُ فِي أَلْفِ أَلْفٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ فِي الْبَرِّ وَخَمْسِ مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ فِي الْبَحْرِ يَنْزِلُونَ أَرْضًا يُقَالُ لَهَا الْعَمِيقُ فَيَقُولُ لِأَصْحَابِهِ إِنَّ لِي فِي سَفِينَتِكُمْ بَقِيَّةً فَتَخَلَّفَ عَلَيْهَا فَيَحْرِقُهَا بِالنَّارِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لَا رُومِيَّةَ وَلَا قُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةَ لَكُمْ مَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَفِرَّ فَلْيَفِرَّ وَيَسْتَمِدُّ الْمُسْلِمُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا حَتَّى يُمِدَّهُمْ أَهْلُ عَدَنَ أَبْيَنَ فَيَقُولُ لَهُمُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ الْحَقُوا بِهِمْ فَكُونُوا فَاجًّا وَاحِدًا فَيَقْتَتِلُونَ شَهْرًا حَتَّى أَنَّ الْخَيْلَ لَتَخُوضُ فِي سَنَابِكِهَا الدِّمَاءُ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِ يَوْمَئِذٍ كِفْلَانِ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ عَلَى مَا كَانَ قَبْلَهُ إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَإِذَا كَانَ آخِرُ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى الْيَوْمَ أَسُلَّ سَيْفِي وَأَنْصُرُ دِينِي وَأَنْتَقِمُ مِنْ عَدُوِّي فَيُجْعَلُ اللَّهُ الدَّائِرَةَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَهْزِمُهُمُ اللَّهُ حَتَّى تُسْتَفْتَحَ الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةُ فَيَقُولُ أَمِيرُهُمْ لَا غُلُولَ الْيَوْمَ فَبَيْنَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ يَقْتَسِمُونَ بِتُرْسَتِهِمُ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ إِذْ نُودِيَ فِيهِمْ أَلَا إِنَّ الدَّجَّالَ قَدْ خَلَفَكُمْ فِي دِيَارِكُمْ فَيَدَعُونَ مَا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَيُقْبِلُونَ إِلَى الدَّجَّالِ

[AI] We were with Ibn Umar at Mina when a young man from the people of Basrah came to him and asked him about something. He said: I will inform you about that. He said: I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, one of ten, in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Ibn Masud, Muadh, Hudhayfah, Abu Said al-Khudri, another man whom he named, and me. A young man from the Ansar came, greeted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then sat down and said: O Messenger of Allah, which of the believers is best? He said: "The best of them in character." He said: Then which of the believers is most astute? He said: "Those who remember death most often and are best prepared for it before it descends upon them—or he said, upon him; those are the astute."

Then the young man fell silent, and the Prophet ﷺ turned toward us and said: "Never does indecency appear among a people but that plague and illnesses which had not passed among their forefathers appear among them. They do not diminish the measure and the scale but that they are seized by years of drought, severe hardship in provision, and the ruler’s oppression over them. They do not withhold the zakah of their wealth but that rain from the sky is withheld from them, and were it not for the beasts, they would not be given rain. They do not break the covenant of Allah ﷻ and the covenant of His Messenger but that Allah ﷻ empowers their enemy over them, and they take some of what was in their hands. And when their leaders do not rule by the Book of Allah ﷻ, Allah ﷻ causes their violence to be among themselves."

He said: Then he ordered Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf to prepare for a detachment over which he appointed him. In the morning he had wrapped himself in a black cotton-cloth turban, so the Prophet ﷺ called him, untied it, wrapped the turban on him, and let four fingers’ length hang behind him. Then he said: "Like this, O Ibn Awf, wrap the turban, for it is more Arab in style and better."

Then the Prophet ﷺ ordered Bilal to hand the banner to him. He praised Allah ﷻ, then said: "Go forth all together in the path of Allah ﷻ, and fight those who disbelieve in Allah ﷻ. Do not steal from the spoils, do not betray, do not mutilate, and do not kill a child. This is the covenant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his Sunnah among you."

[AI] I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he returned from Badr. A man from the Ansar said, "Did we only encounter feeble old women like the fortified castles, whom we slaughtered?" The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed until I saw him as if he had chewed on pomegranate seeds. Then he said, "O son of my brother, do not say that. They are the leaders of Quraysh. If you had seen them in their gatherings in Makkah, you would have burned them." By Allah, I went to Makkah and saw them sitting in the Mosque. I could not even greet them due to their awe-inspiring presence. I remembered the saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "O people, love Quraysh, for whoever loves Quraysh has loved me, and whoever hates Quraysh has hated me. And indeed, Allah has made my people beloved to me, so I do not hasten to punish them, nor do I give them too much favor. O Allah, indeed You inflicted upon the first Quraysh their punishment. So, inflict upon the last of them their retribution, except that Allah knew what was in my heart of my love for my people, so He made me kind towards them." Allah says, "And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred.And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers." It means, my people. So all praise is due to Allah, who made Abu Bakr from my people, and the martyr from my people, and the Imams from my people. Indeed, Allah has turned the backs of the servants to the stomachs, and the best of the Arabs are Quraysh, and they are the tree that Allah says, "A good word is like a good tree." It means, Quraysh. "Whose root is firmly fixed" means, their nobility. "And its branches [high] in the sky." It means, the honor that Allah honored them with through Islam, which guided them to it and made them its people. Then Allah revealed a Surah in their honor in the Book of Allah, which is decisive, "For the accustomed security of the Quraysh - Their accustomed security [in] the caravan of winter and summer - Let them worship the Lord of this House, Who has fed them, [saving them] from hunger and made them safe, [saving them] from fear."

[AI] I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he returned from the Battle of Badr. A man from the Ansar said, "Have we only fought old women like the fortified castles of Harz, whom we slaughtered?" The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed, and I saw him twitching his mouth as if he had bitten a pomegranate seed. Then he said, "O son of my brother, do not say that. Those are the elite leaders of the Quraysh. If you had seen them in their gatherings in Makkah, you would have been amazed by their dignity and nobility." By Allah, I came to Makkah and saw them sitting in the mosque. I could not bring myself to greet them due to their awe. I remembered the saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , "O people, love the Quraysh, for whoever loves the Quraysh has loved me, and whoever hates the Quraysh has hated me. Allah has made my people dear to me, so I do not hasten to punish them or deprive them of blessings. O Allah, You have made the Quraysh taste the first retribution, so make them taste the final retribution as well, except that Allah knows what is in my heart of love for my people, so He has made me merciful towards them." Allah says, "And warn your closest kindred. And lower your wing to the believers who follow you." This refers to my people. Praise be to Allah, who made Abu Bakr from my people, and the martyr from my people, and the Imams from my people. Indeed, Allah has reversed the backs of His servants towards their stomachs, so the best Arab tribe is the Quraysh, who are the tree mentioned by Allah as a good word and a good tree." This means the Quraysh, "Its root is firmly established" means their nobility, "while its branches reach to the sky" means the honor that Allah honored them with through Islam, which guided them to it and made them its people. Then He revealed a Surah about them in the Book of Allah, which is firm, "For the accustomed security of the Quraysh, their accustomed security [in] the winter and summer journeys, let them worship the Lord of this House, Who has fed them, [saving them] from hunger and made them safe, [saving them] from fear."

كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ جَاءَ مِنْ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَهَلْ لَقِينَا إلَّا عَجَائِزَ كالْحِرْزِ الْمُعَقَّلَةِ فَنَحَرْنَاهُمْ فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُهُ كَأَنَّهُ تَفَقَّأَ فِيهِ حَبُّ الرُّمَّانِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا ابْنَ أَخِي لَا تَقُلْ ذَلِكَ أُولَئِكَ الْمَلَأُ الْأَكْبَرُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَمَا لَوْ رَأَيْتُهُمْ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ بِمَكَّةَ لَهِبْتَهُمْ» فَوَاللهِ لَأَتَيْتُ مَكَّةَ فَرَأَيْتُهُمْ قُعُودًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَمَا قَدَرْتُ أَنْ أُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ هَيْبَتِهِمْ فَذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا مَعَاشِرَ النَّاسِ أَحِبُّوا قُرَيْشًا فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ أَحَبّ قُرَيْشًا فَقَدْ أَحَبَّنِي وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَ قُرَيْشًا فَقَدْ أَبْغَضَنِي وإنَّ اللهَ حَبَّ إِلَيَّ قَوْمِي فَلَا أَتَعَجَّلُ لَهُمْ نِقْمَةً وَلَا أسْتَكْثِرُ لَهُمْ نِعْمَةً اللهُمَّ إَنَّكَ أَذَقْتَ أَوَّلَ قُرَيْشٍ نَكَالًا فَأَذِقْ آخِرَهَا نَوَالًا إلَّا أَنَّ اللهَ عَلِمَ مَا فِي قَلْبِي مِنْ حُبِّي لِقَوْمِي فَسَرَّنِي فِيهِمْ» قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} يَعْنِي قَوْمِي فَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ الصِّدِّيقَ مِنْ قَوْمِي وَالشَّهِيدَ مِنْ قَوْمِي وَالْأَئِمَّةَ مِنْ قَوْمِي إِنَّ اللهَ قَلَّبَ الْعِبَادَ ظَهْرًا لِبَطْنٍ فَكَانَ خَيْرَ الْعَرَبِ قُرَيْشٌ وَهِيَ الشَّجَرَةُ الَّتِي قَالَ اللهُ {مَثَلًا كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ} يَعْنِي بِهَا قُرَيْشًا {أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ} يَقُولُ أَصْلُهَا كَرَمٌ {وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ} يَقُولُ الشُّرَفُ الَّذِي شَرَّفَهُمُ اللهُ بِالْإِسْلَامِ الَّذِي هَدَاهُمْ لَهُ وَجَعَلَهُمْ أَهْلَهُ ثُمَّ أنْزَلَ فِيهِمْ سُورَةً مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ مُحْكَمَةً {لِإِيلَافِ قُرَيْشٍ إِيلَافِهِمْ رِحْلَةَ الشِّتَاءِ وَالصَّيْفِ فَلْيَعْبُدُوا رَبَّ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَهُمْ مِنْ جُوعٍ وَآمَنَهُمْ مِنْ خَوْفٍ}

[AI] While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was talking to his companions, he said to them, "A group of riders will come to you from this direction, and they are the best people of the East." Then Umar ibn al-Khattab stood up and headed in that direction, where he met thirteen riders. He greeted them, approached them, and asked, "Who are you?" They said, "We are a group from the tribe of Abd al-Qays." Umar asked them, "What brought you to this land? Is it trade?" They answered, "No." Umar asked, "Then are you selling your swords?" They replied, "No." He asked, "Perhaps you have come in search of this man?" They said, "Yes." Umar went back and informed them about the Prophet, and the people left their belongings and rushed to the Prophet. They took his hand, kissed it, and sat around him. Ashajj, the youngest among them, took care of their camels, watered them, and collected the belongings of the people. Then he came walking with his camels and baggage until he reached the Prophet. He held the Prophet's hand, kissed it, and said, "O Messenger of Allah, are there two qualities that Allah and His Messenger love?" The Prophet asked, "What are they, O Messenger of Allah?" Ashajj said, "Humbleness and walking with determination." Ashajj asked, "O Messenger of Allah, was I born with these qualities or did I acquire them?" The Prophet said, "No, you were born with them." Ashajj said, "Alhamdulillah (All praises be to Allah), who has created me with what Allah and His Messenger love." The people arrived with dates for themselves, and the Prophet started telling them about each date, calling them by specific names. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we do not know the names of the dates as you do." The Prophet said, "Indeed." Then they asked one of them, "Give us some of the leftover bows that you have." So he brought them some dates, and the Prophet said, "These dates are from the best of your dates; they are a medicine with no ailment."

بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ أَصْحَابَهُ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ «سَيَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ رَكْبٌ هُمْ خَيْرُ أَهْلِ الْمَشْرِقِ» فَقَامَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَتَوَجَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَجْهِ فَلَقِيَ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَاكِبًا فَرَحَّبَ وَقَرَّبَ وَقَالَ مَنِ الْقَوْمُ؟ قَالُوا نَفَرٌ مِنْ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ قَالَ فَمَا أَقْدَمَكُمْ هَذِهِ الْبِلَادَ؟ الِتِّجَارَةُ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ فَتَبِيعُونَ سُيُوفَكُمْ هَذِهِ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ فَلَعَلَّكُمْ إِنَّمَا قَدِمْتُمْ فِي طَلَبِ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ قَالُوا أَجَلْ فَمَشَى يُحَدِّثُهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ هَذَا صَاحِبُكُمُ الَّذِي تَطْلُبُونَ فَرَمَى الْقَوْمُ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ عَنْ رِحَالِهِمْ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ سَعَى وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ هَرْوَلَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ مَشَى حَتَّى أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخَذُوا بِيَدِهِ فَقَبَّلُوهَا وَقَعَدُوا إِلَيْهِ وَبَقِيَ الْأَشَجُّ وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُ الْقَوْمِ فَأَنَاخَ الْإِبِلَ وَعَقَلَهَا وَجَمَعَ مَتَاعَ الْقَوْمِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ يَمْشِي عَلَى تُؤَدَةٍ حَتَّى أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَبَّلَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «فِيكَ خَصْلَتَانِ يُحِبُّهُمَا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» قَالَ مَا هُمَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «الْأَنَاةُ وَالتُّؤَدَةُ» فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَجَبَلٌ جُبِلْتُ عَلَيْهِ؟ أَوْ خُلُقٌ مِنِّي؟ قَالَ «بَلْ جَبَلٌ جُبِلْتَ عَلَيْهِ» فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَبَلَنِي عَلَى مَا يُحِبُّ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَأَقْبَلَ الْقَوْمُ عَلَى تَمَرَاتٍ لَهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَهَا فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ بِهَا يُسَمِّي لَهُمْ هَذَا كَذَا وَهَذَا كَذَا قَالُوا أَجَلْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَا نَحْنُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِأَسْمَائِهَا مِنْكَ فَقَالَ «أَجَلْ» فَقَالُوا لِرَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ أَطْعِمْنَا مِنْ بَقِيَّةِ الْقَوْسِ الَّذِي بَقِيَ مِنْ نَوْطِكَ فَأَتَاهُمْ بِالْبَرْنِيِّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هَذَا الْبَرْنِيُّ أَمَا إِنَّهُ مِنْ خَيْرِ تَمْرِكُمْ دَوَاءٌ لَا دَاءَ فِيهِ»

The Prophet ﷺ appointed ʿAbdullah bin Jubair as the commander of the infantry men (archers) who were fifty on the day (of the battle) of Uhud. He instructed them, "Stick to your place, and don't leave it even if you see birds snatching us, till I send for you; and if you see that we have defeated the infidels and made them flee, even then you should not leave your place till I send for you." Then the infidels were defeated. By Allah, I saw the women fleeing lifting up their clothes revealing their leg-bangles and their legs. So, the companions of ʿAbdullah bin Jubair said, "The booty! O people, the booty ! Your companions have become victorious, what are you waiting for now?" ʿAbdullah bin Jubair said, "Have you forgotten what Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to you?" They replied, "By Allah! We will go to the people (i.e. the enemy) and collect our share from the war booty." But when they went to them, they were forced to turn back defeated. At that time Messenger of Allah ﷺ in their rear was calling them back. Only twelve men remained with the Prophet ﷺ and the infidels martyred seventy men from us. On the day (of the battle) of Badr, the Prophet ﷺ and his companions had caused the 'Pagans to lose 140 men, seventy of whom were captured and seventy were killed. Then Abu Sufyan asked thrice, "Is Muhammad present amongst these people?" The Prophet ﷺ ordered his companions not to answer him. Then he asked thrice, "Is the son of Abu Quhafa present amongst these people?" He asked again thrice, "Is the son of Al-Khattab present amongst these people?" He then returned to his companions and said, "As for these (men), they have been killed." ʿUmar could not control himself and said (to Abu Sufyan), "You told a lie, by Allah! O enemy of Allah! All those you have mentioned are alive, and the thing which will make you unhappy is still there." Abu Sufyan said, "Our victory today is a counterbalance to yours in the battle of Badr, and in war (the victory) is always undecided and is shared in turns by the belligerents, and you will find some of your (killed) men mutilated, but I did not urge my men to do so, yet I do not feel sorry for their deed" After that he started reciting cheerfully, "O Hubal, be high! (1) On that the Prophet ﷺ said (to his companions), "Why don't you answer him back?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ What shall we say?" He said, "Say, Allah is Higher and more Sublime." (Then) Abu Sufyan said, "We have the (idol) Al ʿUzza, and you have no ʿUzza." The Prophet said (to his companions), "Why don't you answer him back?" They asked, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! What shall we say?" He said, "Says Allah is our Helper and you have no helper." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3039)

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on a journey with his companions when they became extremely thirsty. Two men from his companions, whom I think were Ali and Zubayr or others, went ahead and found a woman with two water containers on a camel. They said to her, "Answer the call of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She asked, "Who is the Messenger of Allah, this Jew?" They replied, "He is the one you are addressing, and he is truly the Messenger of Allah." They brought her to him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded that the water be poured into a vessel made from the two containers. He then asked for the water to be returned to the containers, and ordered the loosening of the knots on the containers. They were opened, and the people were instructed to fill their containers and drink. That day, no vessel or container was left un-filled. Imran said, "It seemed as if it wasn't filled except to be filled." The Prophet ﷺ ordered his garment to be spread out, and his companions brought their provisions until his garment was filled. He told the woman to go, saying, "We did not take anything from your water, but it was Allah who gave us to drink." She went and informed her family, saying, "I have met the most knowledgeable person or indeed he is the Messenger of Allah." The people of that village embraced Islam, as reported in Sahihain from the hadith of Awf ibn Abi Jamilah. The last incident is that the Prophet ﷺ gave a container of water to the one who had an impurity. He said to him, "Go and pour it over yourself while standing and see what happens to its water." This was narrated by Abu Abdullah Al-Haafiz, Ahmad ibn Ja'far Al-Qatti'i, Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and Yahya ibn Sa'id from Awf, mentioning it in a similar manner.

سَرَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ هُوَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ فَأَصَابَهُ عَطَشٌ شَدِيدٌ فَأَقْبَلَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ أَحْسَبُهُ عَلِيًّا وَالزُّبَيْرَ أَوْ غَيْرَهُمَا قَالَ إِنَّكُمَا سَتَجِدَانِ بِمَكَانِ كَذَا وَكَذَا امْرَأَةً مَعَهَا بَعِيرٌ عَلَيْهِ مَزَادَتَانِ فَأْتِيَانِي بِهَا فَأَتَيَا الْمَرْأَةَ فَوَجَدَاهَا قَدْ رَكِبَتْ بَيْنَ مَزَادَتَيْنِ عَلَى الْبَعِيرِ فَقَالَا لَهَا أَجِيبِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ وَمَنْ رَسُولُ اللهِ هَذَا الصَّابِئُ؟ قَالَا هُوَ الَّذِي تَعْنِينَ وَهُوَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَقًّا فَجَاءَا بِهَا فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَجُعِلَ فِي إِنَاءٍ مِنْ مَزَادَتَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ فِيهِ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ ثُمَّ أَعَادَ الْمَاءَ فِي الْمَزَادَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِعَزْلَاءِ الْمَزَادَتَيْنِ فَفُتِحَتْ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ فَمَلَئُوا آنِيَتَهِمْ وَأَسْقِيَتَهُمْ فَلَمْ يَدَعُوا يَوْمَئِذٍ إِنَاءً وَلَا سِقَاءً إِلَّا مَلَئُوهُ قَالَ عِمْرَانُ فَكَانَ يُخَيَّلُ إِلِيَّ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَزْدَدْ إِلَّا امْتِلَاءً قَالَ فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِثَوْبِهَا فَبُسِطَتْ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ فَجَاءُوا مِنْ زَادِهِمْ حَتَّى مَلَئُوا لَهَا ثَوْبَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا اذْهَبِي فَإِنَّا لَمْ نَأْخُذْ مِنْ مَائِكِ شَيْئًا وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ سَقَانَا قَالَ فَجَاءَتْ أَهْلَهَا فَأَخْبَرَتْهُمْ فَقَالَتْ جِئْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَسْحَرِ النَّاسِ أَوْ إِنَّهُ لِرَسُولُ اللهِ حَقًّا قَالَ فَجَاءَ أَهْلُ ذَلِكَ الْحِوَاءِ حَتَّى أَسْلَمَوا كُلُّهُمْ مُخَرَّجٌ فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَوْفِ بْنِ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ وَفِيهِ فَكَانَ آخِرُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَعْطَى الَّذِي أَصَابَتْهُ الْجَنَابَةُ إِنَاءً مِنْ مَاءٍ فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَأَفْرِغْهُ عَلَيْكَ وَهِيَ قَائِمَةٌ تَنْظُرُ مَا يُفْعَلُ بِمَائِهَا 127 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْقَطِيعِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَوْفٍ فَذَكَرَ بِمَعْنَاهُ بِزِيَادَتِهِ

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

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِحُنَيْنٍ فَلَمَّا أَصَابَ مِنْ هَوَازِنَ مَا أَصَابَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَسَبَايَاهُمْ أَدْرَكَ وَفْدُ هَوَازِنَ بِالْجِعْرَانَةِ وَقَدْ أَسْلَمُوا فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَنَا أَصْلٌ وَعَشِيرَةٌ وَقَدْ أَصَابَنَا مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ مَا لَمْ يَخْفَ عَلَيْكَ فَمُنَّ عَلَيْنَا مَنَّ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نِسَاؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكُمْ أَمْ أَمْوَالُكُمْ؟ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ خَيَّرْتَنَا بَيْنَ أَحْسَابِنَا وَبَيْنَ أَمْوَالِنَا أَبْنَاؤُنَا وَنِسَاؤُنَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَّا مَا كَانَ لِي وَلِبَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ وَإِذَا أَنَا صَلَّيْتُ بِالنَّاسِ فَقُومُوا وَقُولُوا إِنَّا نَسْتَشْفِعُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَبِالْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي أَبْنَائِنَا وَنِسَائِنَا فَسَأُعْطِيكُمْ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ وَأَسْأَلُ لَكُمْ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالنَّاسِ الظُّهْرَ قَامُوا فَقَالُوا مَا أَمَرَهُمْ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَّا مَا كَانَ لِي وَلِبَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ فَقَالَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ فَمَا كَانَ لَنَا فَهُوَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا فَهُوَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ الْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ أَمَّا أَنَا وَبَنُو تَمِيمٍ فَلَا وَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مِرْدَاسٍ أَمَّا أَنَا وَبَنُو سُلَيْمٍ فَلَا فَقَالَتْ بَنُو سُلَيْمٍ بَلْ مَا كَانَ لَنَا فَهُوَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ بَدْرٍ أَمَّا أَنَا وَبَنُو فَزَارَةَ فَلَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَمْسَكَ مِنْكُمْ بِحَقِّهِ فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ سِتَّةُ فَرَائِضَ مِنْ أَوَّلِ فَيْءٍ نُصِيبُهُ فَرَدُّوا إِلَى النَّاسِ نِسَاءَهُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَهُمْ ثُمَّ رَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَاتَّبَعَهُ النَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اقْسِمْ عَلَيْنَا فَيْئَنَا حَتَّى اضْطَرُّوهُ إِلَى شَجَرَةٍ فَانْتُزِعَتْ عَنْهُ رِدَاءُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ رُدُّوا عَلَيَّ رِدَائِي فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ كَانَ لَكُمْ عَدَدُ شَجَرِ تِهَامَةَ نَعَمًا لَقَسَمْتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ ثُمَّ مَا أَلْفَيْتُمُونِي بَخِيلًا وَلَا جَبَانًا وَلَا كَذَّابًا ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى جَنْبِ بَعِيرٍ وَأَخَذَ مِنْ سَنَامِهِ وَبَرَةً فَجَعَلَهَا بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ وَاللهِ مَا لِي مِنْ فَيْئِكُمْ وَلَا هَذِهِ الْوَبَرَةِ إِلَّا الْخُمُسَ وَالْخُمُسُ مَرْدُودٌ عَلَيْكُمْ؛ فَأَدُّوا الْخِيَاطَ وَالْمَخِيطَ؛ فَإِنَّ الْغُلُولَ عَارٌ وَنَارٌ وَشَنَارٌ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِكُبَّةٍ مِنْ خُيُوطِ شَعَرٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَخَذْتُ هَذَا لِأَخِيطَ بِهِ بَرْذَعَةَ بَعِيرٍ لِي دَبَرَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَّا حَقِّي مِنْهَا لَكَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَمَّا إِذَا بَلَغَ الْأَمْرُ هَذَا فَلَا حَاجَةَ لِي بِهَا فَرَمَى بِهَا مِنْ يَدِهِ

[AI] After that, we will divide this money among those whom Allah has bestowed with justice, except for these two individuals with leprosy and jaundice, they have no rights to it. Abu Hudayr al-Ajdamī stood up and said, "I swear to you by Allah, O Umar, regarding justice." Umar replied, "Justice means that I want to make a group of people who spend in the day, strive in their goals, and work in the lands, just like the settled people in their own lands. If migration was to Sana'a or Aden, not a single individual with leprosy or jaundice would have migrated there." Abu Hudayr stood up and said, "Allah has assigned us from His lands wherever He wishes, and He has brought migration to us in our lands, so we accepted it and supported it. Does this mean that our rights will be cut off, O Umar?" Then he said to you, "Your right is with the Muslims." Then he distributed and gave half a dinar to the man. If a man had his wife with him, he would give him a whole dinar. Then he called Ibn Qatūra, the owner of the land, and said, "Tell me what is sufficient for a man's provisions per month and per day." He brought dates and measured them and said, "This is sufficient for him for a month, and a portion of oil and a portion of vinegar." Umar then commanded, "Give them two measures of wheat. We ground it, kneaded it, and baked it. Then we added two portions of oil to it. Then he sat down with thirty men and it was enough to satisfy their hunger. Then Umar took the dates in his right hand and the vinegar in his left hand and said, "O Allah, no one is allowed to diminish these after me, O Allah. So whoever diminishes it, let him diminish from his life."

[AI] A woman in Sanaa, her husband left her and left his son from another woman in her room, a boy named Aseel. The woman took a friend after her husband and said to her friend, "This boy is exposing us, so kill him." He refused, so she held him against his will, and a man and another man and the woman and her servant gathered to kill him. They then cut him into pieces and put him in a barrel of Adam and threw him into a well in the village, where there was no water. Then the woman screamed and the people gathered, and they went looking for the boy. So a man passed by the well where the boy was, and the green flies came out of it. We said, "By Allah, there is a corpse in it, and her friend is with us." She hesitated, so we took her away. We locked her up and sent a man who brought out the boy. We took the man, and he confessed, and he told us the story. Then the woman and the other man and her servant confessed. Yali was writing, and he was the ruler of that time. He wrote to Umar, asking for their execution. He said, "By Allah, if the people of Sanaa had taken part in his killing, I would have killed them all." And we narrated from Abu Ishaq As-Sabi'i from Sa'id bin Wahb that a group went out, along with a man who was not with them. Their people accused them, so Shurayh said, "Your witnesses are that they killed your companion, otherwise they swore by Allah that they did not kill him." So they brought him to Ali, and Sa'id said, "I was with him." So Ali separated them, and they confessed. Ali ordered their execution, and they were killed.

[AI] I saw Umar ibn Al-Khattab before he was struck by the days in Medina. He stood with Hudhaifah ibn Al-Yaman and Uthman ibn Hunayf and said, "How have you two managed to bear the burden of the earth that it cannot bear?" They said, "We have carried it by a command that it can bear." Hudhaifah said, "If I were to carry it, it would be weakened." Uthman ibn Hunayf said, "I have carried it by a command that it can bear, without any great favor." Umar then said, "See that you have not carried the burden of the earth that it cannot bear." They said, "No." Umar said, "If Allah grants me safety, I will leave the widows of Iraq without needing any man after me." He said, "Only four things came upon him until he was struck." He said, "And between me and him, there is no one except Abdullah ibn Abbas in the morning." He said, "And he used to stand between the rows. If he saw any disorder among them, he would say, 'Stand still until there is no disorder among them.' Then he would proceed and say the takbir." He said, "And perhaps he would recite Surah Yusuf or An-Nahl or something similar in the first raka'a until the people gathered." He said, "And it was only that he would say the takbir." He said, "I heard him say, 'The dog has killed me or the dog has eaten me,' when he was stabbed. Then he flew out of the wound with a double-edged knife that would not pass by anyone to the right or left except that it would stab him, until he stabbed thirteen men and nine of them died. When he saw that, a Muslim man threw a cloak on him. When the assassin thought that he had taken hold of him, he slit his own throat." He said, "And Umar held the hand of Abdullah ibn Awf and brought him forward." He said, "Who will take care of Umar? He has seen what he has seen." He said, "Regarding the surroundings of the mosque, they did not know anything except that they had lost the voice of Umar while they were saying, 'Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah.' Abdul-Rahman ibn Awf led them in a light prayer. When they finished, Umar said, 'O Ibn Abbas, see who killed me.' He went for a while and then came back and said, 'The slave of Al-Mughirah killed him.' He said, 'Really?' After they all spoke with their tongues and prayed towards their qibla and performed the Hajj according to their rites, he was brought to his house. We then left with him." He said, "And it was as if the people had not been affected by any calamity before that day. Some were saying, 'There is no harm,' while others were saying, 'We fear for him.' So they brought some wine and he drank it, and it came out of his wound. Then they brought some milk and he drank it, and it came out of his wound. They recognized that he was dead, and he mentioned this incident in his will and in the command to consult each other."

Zaid b. Wahb al-Juhani told us that he was in the army which proceeded to (fight with) the Khawarij in the company of ʿAli. ʿAli then said: O people! I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: there will appear from among my community people who recite the Qur'an, and your recitation has no comparison with their recitation, and your prayer has no comparison with their prayer, and your fasts have no comparison with their fasts. They will recite the Qur'an thinking that it is beneficial for them, while it is harmful for them. Their prayer will not pass their collar-bones. They will swerve from Islam as an arrow goes through the animal shot at. If the army that is approaching them knows what (reward) has been decided for them at the tongue of their Prophet ﷺ, they would leave (other good) activities. The sign of that is that among them there will be a man who has an upper arm, but not hand; on his upper arm there will be something like the nipple of a female breast, having white hair thereon. Will you go to Muʿawiyah and the people of Syria, and leave them behind among your children and property? I swear by Allah, I hope these are the same people, for they shed the blood unlawfully, and attacked the cattle of the people so go on in the name of Allah. Salamah b. Kuhail said: Zaid b. Wahb then informed me of all the halting places one by one, (saying): Until we passed a bridge. When we fought with each other, ʿAbd Allah b. Wahb al-Rasibi, who was the leader of the Khawarij, said to them: Throw away the lances and pull out the swords from their sheaths, for I am afraid they will adjure you as they had adjured on the day of Harura. So they threw away their lances and pulled out their swords, and the people pierced them with their lances. They were killed (lying one on the other). On that day only two persons of the partisans (of ʿAli) were afflicted. ʿAli said: Search for the man with the crippled hand. But they could not find him. Then ʿAli got up himself and went to the people who had been killed and were lying on one another. He said: Take them out. They found him just near the ground. So he shouted: Allah is Most Great! He said: Allah spoke the truth, and His Apostle has conveyed. ʿUbaidat al-Salmani stood up to him, saying: Commander of the Faithful! Have you heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: Yes, by him, there is no God but He. He put to swear thrice and he swore. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4768)

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي قَوْمٌ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَيْسَتْ قِرَاءَتُكُمْ إِلَى قِرَاءَتِهِمْ بِشَيْءٍ وَلَا صَلَاتُكُمْ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ بِشَيْءٍ وَلَا صِيَامُكُمْ إِلَى صِيَامِهِمْ بِشَيْءٍ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا تُجَاوِزُ صَلَاتُهُمْ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الْجَيْشُ الَّذِينَ يُصِيبُونَهُمْ مَا قَضَى اللهُ لَهُمْ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِمْ ﷺ لَاتَّكَلُوا عَنِ الْعَمَلِ وَآيَةُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ فِيهِمْ رَجُلًا لَهُ عَضُدٌ وَلَيْسَتْ لَهُ ذِرَاعٌ عَلَى عَضُدِهِ مِثْلُ حَلَمَةِ ثَدْيِ الْمَرْأَةِ عَلَيْهِ شَعَرَاتٌ بِيضٌ فَتَذْهَبُونَ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ وَأَهْلِ الشَّامِ وَتَتْرُكُونَ هَؤُلَاءِ يَخْلُفُونَكُمْ فِي ذَرَارِيِّكُمْ وَأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونُوا هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمَ فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ سَفَكُوا الدَّمَ وَأَغَارُوا فِي سَرْحِ النَّاسِ فَسِيرُوا عَلَى اسْمِ اللهِ قَالَ سَلَمَةُ فَنَزَّلَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ مَنْزِلًا مَنْزِلًا حَتَّى قَالَ مَرَرْنَا عَلَى قَنْطَرَةٍ قَالَ فَلَمَّا الْتَقَيْنَا وَعَلَى الْخَوَارِجِ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ الرَّاسِبِيُّ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَلْقُوا الرِّمَاحِ وَسُلُّوا سُيُوفَكُمْ مِنْ جُفُونِهَا فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يُنَاشِدُوكُمْ كَمَا نَاشَدُوكُمْ يَوْمَ حَرُورَا فَرَجَعْتُمْ قَالَ فَوَحَّشُوا بِرِمَاحِهِمْ وَسَلُّوا السُّيُوفَ وَشَجَرَهُمُ النَّاسُ بِرِمَاحِهِمْ قَالَ فَقُتِلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَمَا أُصِيبَ مِنَ النَّاسِ يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلَّا رَجُلَانِ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ الْتَمِسُوا فِيهُمُ الْمُخْدَجَ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ فَقَامَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ بِنَفْسِهِ فَالْتَمَسَهُ فَوَجَدَهُ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ اللهُ وَبَلَّغَ رَسُولُهُ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ عُبَيْدَةُ السَّلْمَانِيُّ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ آللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَسَمِعْتَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ إِيْ وَاللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ حَتَّى اسْتَحْلَفَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَهُوَ يَحْلِفُ لَهُ

[AI] 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.

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Anyone who sees Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf, then he has indeed harmed Allah and His Messenger." Muhammad ibn Muslimah said to him, "Would you like me to kill him, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Yes." He said, "I am loyal to him, O Messenger of Allah. So allow me to speak to him." He said, "Speak." So Muhammad ibn Muslimah went to him and said, "This man has taken our charity from us and he has caused us harm, and we have grown tired of him." The evil one, when he heard this, said, "By Allah, I will certainly ensnare him, or he will be ensnared by me, and I know that your affairs will come to this." He said, "We cannot submit him until we see what he has done, and we dislike leaving him after we have followed him, until we see what will become of him." He said, "I have come to ask you for a loan." He said, "Yes, on the condition that you pledge your women to me." Muhammad said, "We will pledge our women to you, and you are the most handsome of the Arabs?" He said, "What about your children?" Muhammad said, "They will be insulted by people, as our children were in pledge to him through begging. And perhaps he will say that the son of one of us is pledged by begging." He said, "Then what will you pledge?" He said, "We will pledge our servant, meaning the weapon." He said, "Yes." So he made an appointment with him to meet, and Muhammad returned to his companions. He went to him with Abu Na'ilah, who was the brother of Ka'b through breastfeeding, and two other men. He said, "I have a hold of his head. When I put my hand on his head, then hold him down." So they approached him at night, and Muhammad called out to him, saying, "O Abu al-Ashraf!" His wife said, "Where are you going at this hour?" He said, "This is Muhammad ibn Muslimah and my brother Abu Na'ilah coming to me." So Muhammad entered, wearing one garment from which a pleasant fragrance emanated. He said to him, "How good is your body, and how delightful is your scent." He said, "I have the daughter of so-and-so, and she is the most fragrant of the Arabs." He said, "May I be permitted to smell her?" He said, "Yes." So Muhammad put his hand in her head, and then said, "May I be permitted to smell my companions?" He said, "Yes." So Muhammad put his hand in his own head and then smelled his companions. Then he put his hand in his head again, and then in his head for the second time, until he felt secure. Then he tightly gripped his head, and his companions attacked him and killed him. Then Muhammad went to the Messenger of Allah and informed him.

[AI] Ibn Shihab said, "This is a hadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he went to the Banu Nadir seeking their assistance against the Banu Qurayza. The Banu Nadir had claimed that they had conveyed secretly to the Quraysh when they camped at the Battle of Uhud to fight the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They incited the Quraysh to fight and directed them towards the rear. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed them regarding the issue with the Banu Qurayza, they said, 'Sit, Abu al-Qasim, until you are fed and your need is fulfilled, and then we will consult and rectify our situation regarding the matter for which you have come to us.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat down, and those who followed him sat as well, leaning against a wall, waiting for their matter to be rectified. When they all sat, and Shaytan was with them and did not leave them, they conspired to kill the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They said, 'You will not find a better opportunity than now to kill him, so be at ease, be safe in your homes, and calamity will be lifted from you.' A man said, 'If you wish, I can go up to the roof and throw a stone at him and kill him.' Allah inspired him and informed him of their plot. So Allah protected him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up as if he wanted to fulfill a need and left his companions sitting, and he waited for the enemies of Allah. Then a man from the people of Madinah came and they asked him about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, 'I met him, and he entered the alleys of Madinah.' They said to his companions, 'Quickly, Abu al-Qasim needs us to go and support him in his need.' So the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up and returned. The Quran descended, and Allah knows best what the enemies of Allah did. He said, 'O you who have believed, remember the favor of Allah upon you when a people determined to extend their hands [in aggression] against you, but He withheld their hands from you. And fear Allah. And upon Allah let the believers rely.'" And this is the end of the narration.

قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ هَذَا حَدِيثُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ خَرَجَ إِلَى بَنِي النَّضِيرِ يَسْتَعِينُهُمْ فِي عَقْلِ الْكِلَابِيِّينَ وَكَانُوا زَعَمُوا قَدْ دَسُّوا إِلَى قُرَيْشٍ حِينَ نَزَلُوا بِأُحُدٍ فِي قِتَالِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَضُّوهُمْ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ وَدَلُّوهُمْ عَلَى الْعَوْرَةِ فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي عَقْلِ الْكِلَابِيِّينَ قَالُوا اجْلِسْ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ حَتَّى تَطْعَمَ وَتَرْجِعَ بِحَاجَتِكَ وَنَقُومَ فَنَتَشَاوَرَ وَنُصْلِحَ أَمْرَنَا فِيمَا جِئْتَنَا لَهُ فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَنْ تَبِعَهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِي ظِلِّ جِدَارٍ يَنْتَظِرُ أَنْ يُصْلِحُوا أَمْرَهُمْ فَلَمَّا جَلَسُوا وَالشَّيْطَانُ مَعَهُمْ لَا يُفَارِقُهُمُ ائْتَمَرُوا بِقَتْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا لَنْ تَجِدُوهُ أَقْرَبَ مِنْهُ الْآنَ فَاسْتَرِيحُوا مِنْهُ تَأْمَنُوا فِي دِيَارِكُمْ وَيُرْفَعْ عَنْكُمُ الْبَلَاءُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ ظَهَرْتُ فَوْقَ الْبَيْتِ وَدَلَّيْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَجَرًا فَقَتَلْتُهُ فَأَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا ائْتَمَرُوا مِنْ شَأْنِهِ فَعَصَمَهُ اللهُ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَأَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ يَقْضِيَ حَاجَةً وَتَرَكَ أَصْحَابَهُ فِي مَجْلِسِهِمْ وَانْتَظَرَ أَعْدَاءُ اللهِ فَرَاثَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لَقِيتُهُ قَدْ دَخَلَ أَزِقَّةَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالُوا لِأَصْحَابِهِ عَجِلَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ أَنْ يُقِيمَ أَمْرَنَا فِي حَاجَتِهِ الَّتِي جَاءَ بِهَا ثُمَّ قَامَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَرَجَعُوا وَنَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِالَّذِي جَاءَ أَعْدَاءُ اللهِ فَقَالَ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ هَمَّ قَوْمٌ أَنْ يَبْسُطُوا إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فَكَفَّ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللهَ وَعَلَى اللهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ} فَلَمَّا أَظْهَرَ اللهُ رَسُولَهُ عَلَى مَا أَرَادُوا بِهِ وَعَلَى خِيَانَتِهِمْ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ أَمَرَ بِإِجْلَائِهِمْ وَإِخْرَاجِهِمْ مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَسِيرُوا حَيْثُ شَاءُوا إِلَى آخِرِ الْحَدِيثِ

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

"عن الحسن قال: قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ يَدْخُلُ بِشَفَاعَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِى الْجَنَّةَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ وَمضَرَ، أمَا أُسَمِّى لَكُمْ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ؟ (*) بَلَى، قال: ذَاكَ أُوَيْسٌ الْقَرْنِىُّ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا عُمَرُ! إِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُ فَأَقرِئْهُ مِنِّى السَّلَامَ، وَقُلْ لَهُ حَتَّى يَدْعُوَ لَكَ، وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ وَضَحٌ فَدَعَا اللَّه فَرَفَعَ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ دَعَاهُ فَردَّ عَلَيْه بَعْضَهُ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِى خِلَافَةِ عُمَرَ قَال عُمَرُ -وهو بالموسم-: لِيَجْلِسْ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ من قرْنٍ، فَجَلَسُوا إلَّا رَجُلًا فَدَعَاهُ فَقَالَ له: هَلْ تَعْرِفُ فِيكُمْ رَجُلًا اسْمُهُ أُويْسٌ؟ قَالَ: وَمَا تُرِيدُ مِنْهُ؟ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ لَا يُعرَفُ، يَأوِى الْخَرِبَاتِ، لَا يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ، فَقَال: أَقْرِئهُ مِنِّى السَّلَامَ وَقُلْ لَهُ حَتَّى يَلْقَانِى،
