(the wife of the Prophet) Messenger of Allah ﷺ died while Abu Bakr was at a place called As-Sunah (Al-'Aliya) 'Umar stood up and said, "By Allah! Messenger of Allah ﷺ is not dead!" 'Umar (later on) said, "By Allah! Nothing occurred to my mind except that." He said, "Verily! Allah will resurrect him and he will cut the hands and legs of some men." Then Abu Bakr came and uncovered the face of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, kissed him and said, "Let my mother and father be sacrificed for you, (O Messenger of Allah ﷺ), you are good in life and in death. By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, Allah will never make you taste death twice." Then he went out and said, "O oath-taker! Don't be hasty." When Abu Bakr spoke, 'Umar sat down. Abu Bakr praised and glorified Allah and said, No doubt! Whoever worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall never die." Then he recited Allah's Statement.:-- "(O Muhammad) Verily you will die, and they also will die." (39.30) He also recited:-- "Muhammad is no more than an Apostle; and indeed many Apostles have passed away, before him, If he dies Or is killed, will you then Turn back on your heels? And he who turns back On his heels, not the least Harm will he do to Allah And Allah will give reward to those Who are grateful." (3.144) The people wept loudly, and the Ansar were assembled with Sad bin 'Ubada in the shed of Bani Saida. They said (to the emigrants). "There should be one 'Amir from us and one from you." Then Abu Bakr, Umar bin Al-Khattab and Abu 'baida bin Al-Jarrah went to them. 'Umar wanted to speak but Abu Bakr stopped him. 'Umar later on used to say, "By Allah, I intended only to say something that appealed to me and I was afraid that Abu Bakr would not speak so well. Then Abu Bakr spoke and his speech was very eloquent. He said in his statement, "We are the rulers and you (Ansars) are the ministers (i.e. advisers)," Hubab bin Al-Mundhir said, "No, by Allah we won't accept this. But there must be a ruler from us and a ruler from you." Abu Bakr said, "No, we will be the rulers and you will be the ministers, for they (i.e. Quarish) are the best family amongst the 'Arabs and of best origin. So you should elect either 'Umar or Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah as your ruler." 'Umar said (to Abu Bakr), "No but we elect you, for you are our chief and the best amongst us and the most beloved of all of us to Messenger of Allah ﷺ." So 'Umar took Abu Bakr's hand and gave the pledge of allegiance and the people too gave the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr. Someone said, "You have killed Sad bin Ubada." 'Umar said, "Allah has killed him."

ʿUmar bin al-Khattab ؓ sent for me, and whilst I was like that, his freed slave Yarfaʿ came and said: ‘Uthman, ʿAbdur-Rahman, Sa’d and az-Zubair bin al-ʿAwwam are here - (the narrator) said: I do not know whether he mentioned Talhah or not - and they are asking for permission to enter upon you. He said: Let them in. Then after a while, (Yarfaʿ) came and said: al-ʿAbbas and ‘Ali are asking permission to enter upon you. He said: Let them in. When alʿAbbas came in, he said: O Ameer al-Muʿmineen, judge between me and this one. They had a dispute at that time concerning the fai’ (booty) that Allah had granted to His Messenger of the wealth of Banun-Nadeer, The people said: Judge between them, O Ameer al-Muʿmineen, and relieve each one of his opponent, for their dispute has gone on too long. ‘Umar ؓ said: I adjure you by Allah, by Whose Leave heaven and earth exist, do you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “We are not to be inherited from; what we leave behind is charityʿ? They said: He did say that. He said: I shall tell you about that faiʿ; Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, gave something exclusively to His Prophet ﷺ that He did not give to anyone else. And he quoted the verse: ʿAnd what Allah gave as booty (Fai’) to His Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ) from them - for this you made no expedition with either cavalry or camelryʿ [al Hashr 59:6]. He said: ʿThis was exclusively for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and by Allah, he did not keep it to himself in exclusion of you and he did not prefer himself over you with regard to it. Rather he gave it to you and divided it among you until there was nothing left of it except this property. He spent on his familyʿs needs from this property for one year, then he took what was left and regarded it as the property of Allah. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, Abu Bakr said: ʿI am the successor of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I shall deal with it as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ dealt with it.

[AI] While I was sitting with him, his eyebrow twitched, so he asked Umar, "Do you have permission from Uthman, Abdur Rahman, Saad, and Zubair to see me?" Umar replied, "Yes, I have given them permission." So they entered, greeted him, and sat down. Then his eyebrow twitched again, and he asked Umar, "Do you have permission from Ali and Abbas?" Umar replied, "Yes, I have given them permission." So when they entered upon him, they sat down, and Abbas said, "O Amir al-Mu'minin, settle the matter between Ali and me." The group of companions and their friends said, "Settle the matter between them, and let one of them have respite from the other." Umar said, "Wait, I swear to you by Allah, by whose permission the heavens and the earth stand, do you not know that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, 'We do not inherit what we leave behind, it is all charity.'" The group said, "Indeed, he said that." Umar then went to Ali and Abbas and said, "I swear to you by Allah, do you not know that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said that?" They replied, "Indeed, he said that." Umar said, "I will inform you about this matter. Allah has granted His Messenger something He did not grant to anyone else. Allah says, 'And what Allah gave to His Messenger from them, you did not press for it.' This verse is specific to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . And I swear by Allah, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , never hoarded or favored himself with this wealth over you. He gave it to you and distributed it among you, until only this amount remained. And the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , spent on his family the same amount that they used to spend from this wealth, and then he took what was left and dedicated it as the wealth of Allah. And the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , acted in this manner his whole life. I swear to you by Allah, do you know that?" They said, "Yes, we know that." Then the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , passed away, and Abu Bakr said, "I am the guardian of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ." So Abu Bakr took charge of it and used it as the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , did. And you, at that time, went to Ali and Abbas accusing Abu Bakr of doing something, and Allah knows best that he was truthful, righteous, and guided by the truth.

[AI] I said, "O Abu Abdullah al-Rahman, referring to Ibn Umar, there are people who claim that there is no fate (predestination). He said: Do we have anyone among us like them? I said, No. He said: Then convey to them from me that when you meet them, indeed Ibn Umar disassociates himself from you and you disassociate yourselves from him." Umar ibn al-Khattab narrated to us that while we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , a man came who had no signs of travel nor was he from the people of the city. He came and sat in front of the Messenger of Allah. He said, "O Muhammad, what is Islam? He said, "Islam is that you bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and you establish prayer, give zakah, perform Hajj, perform Umrah, cleanse yourself from major impurity, complete ablution, and fast during Ramadan." He said, "If I do all of that, would I be a Muslim?" He said, "Yes." He said, "You have spoken the truth." He asked, "O Muhammad, what is faith (imaan)?" He said, "Faith is that you believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, and you believe in the Day of Judgment, and you believe in fate, its good and its evil." He said, "If I do all of that, would I be a believer (mu'min)?" He said, "Yes." He said, "You have spoken the truth." He asked, "O Muhammad, what is excellence (ihsan)?" He said, "Excellence is that you worship Allah as if you see Him, and even though you do not see Him, He sees you." He asked, "If I do that, would I be excellent (muhsin)?" He said, "Yes." He said, "You have spoken the truth." He asked, "O Muhammad, when is the Hour (Day of Judgment)?" He said, "Glory be to Allah, the one who is asked about it knows no more than the questioner, but if you wish, I will inform you about its signs." He said, "Yes." He said, "When you see barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in constructing tall buildings and when you see women giving birth to their mistresses, that is among the signs of the Hour." He said, "You have spoken the truth." Then the man left, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "O Umar, do you know who this man was?" We said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "This was Gabriel who came to teach you your religion."

قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَعْنِي لِابْنِ عُمَرَ إِنَّ أَقْوَامًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنْ لَيْسَ قَدَرٌ قَالَ هَلْ عِنْدَنَا مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَأَبْلِغْهُمْ عَنِّي إِذَا لَقِيتَهُمْ إِنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَبْرَأُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ بُرَآءُ مِنْهُ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ 

قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي أُنَاسٍ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ سَحْنَاءُ سَفَرٍ وَلَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَلَدِ يَتَخَطَّى حَتَّى وَرَكَ فَجَلَسَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ 

فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا الْإِسْلَامُ؟ قَالَ «الْإِسْلَامُ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَنْ تُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةَ وَتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ وَتَحُجَّ وَتَعْتَمِرَ وَتَغْتَسِلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ وَأَنْ تُتِمَّ الْوُضُوءَ وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ» قَالَ فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَنَا مُسْلِمٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ صَدَقْتَ 

قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا الْإِيمَانُ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ وَالْمِيزَانِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْبَعْثِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ» قَالَ فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَنَا مُؤْمِنٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ صَدَقْتَ 

قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا الْإِحْسَانُ؟ قَالَ «الْإِحْسَانُ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ لِلَّهِ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لَا تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ» قَالَ فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ هَذَا فَأَنَا مُحْسِنٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ صَدَقْتَ 

قَالَ فَمَتَى السَّاعَةُ؟ قَالَ «سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مَا الْمَسْؤُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنَ السَّائِلِ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ شِئْتَ نَبَّأْتُكَ عَنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا» قَالَ أَجَلْ قَالَ «إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْعَالَةَ الْحُفَاةَ الْعُرَاةَ يَتَطَاوَلُونَ فِي الْبِنَاءِ وَكَانُوا مُلُوكًا» قَالَ مَا الْعَالَةُ الْحُفَاةُ الْعُرَاةُ؟ قَالَ «الْعُرَيْبُ» قَالَ «وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْأَمَةَ تَلِدُ رَبَّتَهَا فَذَلِكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ» قَالَ صَدَقْتَ 

ثُمَّ نَهَضَ فَوَلَّى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «عَلَيَّ بِالرَّجُلِ» فَطَلَبْنَاهُ كُلَّ مَطْلَبٍ فَلَمْ نَقْدِرْ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَنْ هَذَا؟ هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ أَتَاكُمْ لَيُعَلِّمَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ خُذُوا عَنْهُ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا شُبِّهَ عَلَيَّ مُنْذُ أَتَانِي قَبْلَ مَرَّتِي هَذِهِ وَمَا عَرَفْتُهُ حَتَّى وَلَّى»

[AI] About alcohol, I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the masjid when he was leaning against my chest. Then he said, "Whoever has alcohol with them, let them bring it to me." So people started coming to him, and one person said, "I have a container of alcohol," and another person said, "I have a pitcher," and another person said, "I have a wine flask." And Allah willed that there be nothing with him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Gather it in the open space of Al-Baqi' such and such and then give me the permission." So he stood up and I stood up with him. I walked on his right side while he was leaning on me. Then Abu Bakr caught up with us, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took hold of me and put him in my place. Then 'Umar ibn Al-Khattab caught up with us, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took hold of him and put him on his left side. He walked between them until he reached the wine. Then he said to the people, "Do you know what this is?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, this is alcohol." He said, "You are correct. Indeed, Allah has cursed alcohol, its drinker, its server, its seller, its buyer, its presser, and the one for whom it is pressed." Then he called for a knife and said, "Sharpen it." So they sharpened it. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took it and slashed the wine containers, and the people said, "In these containers is benefit." So he said, "Yes, but I only did that in anger for the sake of Allah, for the evil that is in them." And some of them added to others in the narration.

[AI] From Abu Imran Al-Jawni, I do not know of it except from Anas ibn Malik who said: Wahb ibn Umayr witnessed the Battle of Uhud as a disbeliever and he was wounded. He was among the dead when a man from the Ansar passed by and recognized him. The man placed his sword on Wahb's stomach until it came out from his back, then he left him. When the night fell and the cold weather struck him, he went to Makkah, and he was cured. He met Safwan ibn Umayyah in a cave and Wahb said, "If it weren't for my debts and my family, I would have loved to be the one to kill Muhammad." Safwan asked him, "How would you do it?" Wahb replied, "I am a generous man and I would approach him with kindness, then strike him with my sword while riding a horse, and no one would be able to catch me." Safwan said, "Your family is with my family, and you have debts to me." So, Wahb sharpened his sword and named it, then went out to Madinah with the sole intention of killing the Prophet. When he arrived in Madinah, Umar ibn Al-Khattab saw him and felt uneasy about him. Umar said to the companions of the Prophet, "I saw Wahb approaching our city and he is a treacherous man. Prepare to defend your Prophet." The Muslims surrounded the Prophet and Wahb came and stood in front of him. He said, "Good morning, Muhammad." The Prophet replied, "Allah has replaced it with something better." Wahb said, "I have come to redeem my captives." The Prophet asked, "What about the sword?" Wahb said, "We carried it on the day of Badr but we were not successful nor triumphant." The Prophet asked, "What did you say to Safwan in the cave?" Wahb replied, "I informed him of what people on earth say but they call you a liar. But I see that you inform the heavens of your news. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and you are the Messenger of Allah." Wahb then said, "Oh Messenger of Allah, give me your turban." The Prophet gave him his turban and Wahb left for Makkah. Umar said, "He has arrived and he is more detestable to me than a pig," but when he returned, Umar said, "He is more beloved to me than some of my children."

[AI] "O people of the nation of Muhammad, if there were to be a book after your book and a prophet after your prophet, it would be revealed to you just as it was revealed to those before you. And there would be no delay in your matter until the Day of Judgment. And by my oath, it would be more severe upon you." Thabit said, "Then I met Abdullah ibn Umar and asked him about the price of wine. He said, 'I will tell you about wine. I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the mosque when he asked for some wine. So people would come to him and say, 'I have a container,' and another would say, 'I have a jar,' or whatever Allah willed for them to have. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Gather in Baqi' at such and such a time and announce it to me.' So they would come to him and he would stand up and I would stand with him. I walked on his right side while he was leaning on me. Then Abu Bakr caught up with us and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delayed me and placed Abu Bakr in my position. Then Umar caught up with us and he delayed me and placed Umar on his left side. When he came to the wine he said to the people, 'Do you recognize this?' They said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah, this is wine.' He said, 'You have told the truth.' Then Allah has cursed wine, its pressers, its extractors, its drinkers, its servers, its carriers, those carrying it, its seller, its buyer, and those consuming its price.' Then he called for a knife and said, 'Testify to it,' and they did so. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the knife and pierced it through the wine barrel. The people said, 'Indeed, there is benefit in this wine.' He said, 'Yes, but I am doing this out of anger for Allah due to the displeasure it brings Him.' Umar said, 'I will be sufficient for you, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'No.' Ibn Wahb and others added their own narrations to the story. Ibn Lahiah informed me that Abu Tu'mah mentioned that Abdullah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab narrated it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."

[AI] I was sent by Ibn Ayyash bin Abi Rabia to Umar bin Abdul Aziz for his needs. I entered upon him and there was a scribe with him who was writing. I greeted him and he replied with greetings. Then, I said, "Peace be upon you, O Commander of the Faithful, and the mercy of Allah." He said, "O son of Ziyad, we do not deny the first thing you said." The scribe was reading to him the grievances that came from Basra. Then, he told me to sit, so I sat on a step near the door while he listened to the scribe reading. Umar was sighing heavily. When he finished, he dismissed everyone in the room until only I and him were present. He sat in front of me and placed his hands on my knees. Then, he said, "O son of Abi Ziyad, have you worn this armor?" I said, "Yes, I have a padded armor made of wool and I have rested from what we were in." Then, he asked me about the righteous men and women of Madinah, and he asked me about the matters he had commanded them in Madinah, and I informed him. Then, he said, "O son of Abi Ziyad, don't you see what has happened to me?" I said, "Rejoice, O Commander of the Faithful, for I hope good for you." He said, "Never, never." Then, he cried until I also mourned for him. I said, "O Commander of the Faithful, some of your actions are praiseworthy, for I hope good for you." He said, "Never, never. I neither insult nor am I insulted, I neither strike nor am I struck, I neither harm nor am I harmed." He said, and then he cried until I also mourned for him. So, I stayed until he fulfilled my needs, and he wrote to my master asking him to sell me, but he refused and then freed me.

"عن جابر قال: لَمَّا طُعِنَ عُمَرُ دَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَهُو يَقُولُ: لَا تُعْجِلُوا هَذَا الرَّجُلَ، فَإِنْ أَعِشْ رَأَيْتُ فيهِ الرَّأى، وَإِنْ أَمُتْ فَهُوَ إِلَيكُمْ، قَالوا: يَا أَمِيرَ المؤْمِنِينَ: إِنَّهُ وَاللَّه قَدْ قُتِلَ وَقُطِعَ، قالَ: إِنَّا للَّه وَإِنَّا إِلَيْه رَاجِعُونَ! ! ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَيْحَكُمْ مَنْ هُوَ؟ قَالُوا: أَبُو لُؤْلُؤَةَ قَالَ: اللَّه أَكْبَرُ، ثُمَّ نَظَر إِلى ابْنِهِ عبدِ اللَّه فَقَالَ: أَىْ بُنَىَّ! أَىَّ وَالدٍ كُنْتُ لَكَ؟ قَالَ: خَيْرُ والِدٍ، قَالَ: فَأُقْسِمُ عَلَيْكَ لَمَا احْتَمَلْتَنِى حَتَّى يَلْصَقَ خَذِّى بالأَرْضِ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ كَمَا يَمُوتُ الْعَبْدُ، فَقَال عَبْد اللَّه: وَاللَّه إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَيَشْتَدُّ عَلَىَّ يَا أَبَتَاهُ! ثُمَّ قَالَ: قُمْ فَلَا تُرَاجعْنِى، فَقَام فَاحْتَمَلهُ حَتَّى أَلْصَقَ خَذَّهُ بِالأَرْضِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ اللَّه! أقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ بِحَقِّ اللَّه وَحَقِّ عُمَرَ إِذَا مِتُّ فَدَفَنْتَنِى فَلَا تَغْسِلْ رَأسَكَ حَتَّى تَبِيَع مِنْ رِبَاع آلِ عُمَر ثَمَانِينَ أَلْفًا فَتَضَعَهَا فِى بَيْتِ مَالِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بنُ عَوْفٍ -وَكَانَ عِنْدَ رَأسِه- يَا أَمِيرَ المُؤْمِنِينَ! وَمَا قَدْرُ هَذِهِ الثَّمَانِينَ أَلْفًا؟ فَقَدْ أَضْرَرْتَ بِعِيَالِكَ، أَوْ بِآلِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: إِلِيْكَ عَنِّى يَا بْنَ عَوْفٍ! فَنَظَر إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّه فَقَالَ: يا بُنَىَّ! وَاثْنَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا أَنْفَقْتُهَا فِى اثْنَتَىْ عَشْرَةَ حَجَّةٍ حَجَجْتُهَا فِى وِلَايَتِى وَنَوائِبَ كَانَتْ (تَنوينى) في الرُّسُلِ (تأتينى) مِنْ قِبَلِ الأَمْصَارِ، فَقَال لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحمَنِ بْنُ عَوفٍ: يَا أَمِيرَ المؤمنينَ! أَبْشِرْ وَأَحْسِنِ الظَنَّ بِاللَّه، فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا مِنَ المهَاجِرِينَ (والأَنْصَارِ) إلا وَقَدْ أَخَذَ مِثْلَ الَّذِى أَخَذْتَ مِنَ الْفَىْءِ الَّذِى جَعَلَهُ اللَّه لَنَا، وَقَد قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّه ﷺ وَهُوَ عَنْكَ رَاضٍ، وَقَد كَانَتْ لَكَ مَعَهُ سَوَابِقُ فَقَالَ: يَا بْنَ عَوْفٍ! وَدَّ عُمَرُ أَنَّهُ لَوْ خَرَج مِنْهَا كَما دَخَلَ فِيهَا، إِنِّى أوَدُّ أَنْ أَلْقَى اللَّه فَلَا يُطَالِبُونى بِقَلِيلٍ وَلَا كَثيرٍ".

"عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ الدُّؤَلِىِّ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا عُمَرُ نِصْفَ النَّهَارِ قَائِلٌ في ظِلِّ شَجَرَةٍ إِذَا أَعْرابِيَّةٌ فَتَوَسَّمَتِ النَّاسَ فَجَاءَتْهُ فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّى امْرَأَةٌ مِسْكِينَةٌ وَلِى بَنُونَ، وَإِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمنِينَ عُمَر بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ كَانَ بَعَثَ مُحَمَّد بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ سَاعِيًا فَلَمْ يُعْطِنا، فَلَعَلَّكَ -يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّه- أَنْ تَشْفَعَ لَنَا إِلَيْهِ. فَصَاحَ بِيَرْفَأ أَنِ ادْعُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّهُ أَنْجَحُ لِحَاجَتِى أَنْ تَقُومَ مَعِى إِلَيْهِ، قَالَ: إِنَّه سَيَفْعَلُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّه (فَجَاءَهُ يَرْفَأ) (* ) فَقَالَ: أَجِبْ، فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنينَ، فَاسْتَحْيَتِ الْمَرْأةُ مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَاللَّه مَا آلُو أَنْ أَخْتَارَ خِيَارَكُم، كَيْفَ أَنْتَ قَائِلٌ إِذَا سَأَلَكَ اللَّه تَعَالَى عَنْ هَذِهِ؟ فَدَمَعَتْ عَيْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، فَقَالَ

عُمَرُ: إِنَّ اللَّه بَعَثَ إِلَيْنَا نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ فَصَدَّقْنَاهُ وَاتَّبعْنَاهُ فَعَمِلَ بِمَا أَمَرَهُ اللَّه تَعَالَى، فَجَعَلَ، الصَّدَقَةَ لأَهْلِهَا مِنَ المَسَاكِينِ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّه -تَعالَى- عَلَى ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ اسْتَخْلفَ اللَّه أَبَا بَكْرٍ، فَعَمِلَ بِسُنَّتِهِ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّه، ثُمَّ اسْتَخْلَفَنِى فَلَمْ آلُ أَنْ أخْتَارَ خِيَارَكُم، إِنْ بَعَثْتُكَ فَأَدِّ إِلَيْهَا صَدَقَةَ الْعَامِ وَعَامِ أَوَّلَ، وَمَا أَدْرِى لَعَلى لَا أَبْعَثُكَ، ثُمَّ دَعَا لَهَا بِجَمَلٍ فَأعْطَاهَا دَقِيقًا وَزَيْتًا فَقَال: خُذِى هَذَا حَتَّى تَلْحَقِينَا بِخَيْبَرَ، فَإِنَّا نُرِيدُهَا، فَأَتَتْهُ بِخَيْبَرَ فَدَعَا لَهَا بِجَمَلَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ، فَقَالَ: خُذِى هَذَا فَإِنَّ فِيه بَلَاغًا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكمْ مُحَمَّدُ (بنُ مَسْلَمَةَ) () فَقَدْ أَمَرْتُهُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَكِ حقك (* *) لِلْعَامِ وَعَامِ أَوَّلَ".

" عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى ابن عُمَرَ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: مَا الذى يَحْمِلُكَ عَلَى أَنْ تَحُجَّ عَامًا وَتَعْتَمر عَامًا وَتَتْرُكَ الجِهَادَ في سَبِيلِ الله، وَقَدْ علِمْت مَا رَغَّبَ الله فِيهِ؟ قَالَ: يَابْنَ أَخِى: بُنى الإسْلاَمُ عَلَى خَمْسٍ: إِيمانٌ بِالله وَرَسُولِه، وَصَلاَةُ الْخَمْسِ، وَصِيامُ شَهِرِ رَمَضَانَ، وَأَدَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ، وَحَجُّ الْبَيْت، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: أَلاَ تَسْمَعُ مَا ذَكَرَ الله فِى كِتَابِهِ {وَإِنْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اقْتَتَلُوا فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَا فَإِنْ بَغَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى فَقَاتِلُوا الَّتِي تَبْغِي حَتَّى تَفِيءَ إِلَى أَمْرِ اللَّهِ}، فَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تُقَاتِلَ الْفِئَة الْبَاغِية كمَا أَمَرَكَ الله في كتَابِهِ؟ فَقَالَ: يَابْنَ أَخِى لأَنْ أَعْتَبِرَ بِهَذِهِ الآيَةِ فَلاَ أَقَاتِل أَحَبّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَعْتَبِرَ بِالأَيَةِ التَّي يَقُولُ الله فيها {وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ} فَقَالَ: أَلاَ تَرَى أَنَّ الله يَقُولُ: {وَقُاتِلُوهُم حَتَّى لاَ تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَيَكُونَ الدِّينُ كُلُّهُ لله}، قَالَ ابن عُمَرَ: قَدْ فَعَلنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ أنْ كَانَ أهْلُ الإسْلاَمِ قَلِيلًا وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُفْتَنُ فِى دِينهِ إِمَّا أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ وِإمَّا أَنْ يَسْتَرِقِّوهُ حَتَّى كَثُرَ أَهْلُ الإسْلاَمِ فَلَمْ يَكُن فِتْنَةً، قَالَ: فَمَا قَوْلُكَ في عَلِىٍّ وَعُثْمَانَ؟ قَالَ أَمَّا عُثْمَانُ: فَكَانَ الله عفى عَنْهُ وَكَرِهْتُم أَن تَعْفُوا، وَأَمَّا عَلِىٌّ: فَابْنُ عَمِّ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ وَخَتَنِهِ وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ، وَهَذَا بَيْتُهُ حَيْثُ تَرَوْنَ ".
