Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a Sariya of ten men as spies under the leadership of ʿAsim bin Thabit al-Ansari, the grandfather of ʿAsim bin ʿUmar Al-Khattab. They proceeded till they reached Hadaa, a place between 'Usfan, and Mecca, and their news reached a branch of the tribe of Hudhail called Bani Lihyan. About two-hundred men, who were all archers, hurried to follow their tracks till they found the place where they had eaten dates they had brought with them from Medina. They said, "These are the dates of Yathrib (i.e. Medina), "and continued following their tracks When ʿAsim and his companions saw their pursuers, they went up a high place and the infidels circled them. The infidels said to them, "Come down and surrender, and we promise and guarantee you that we will not kill any one of you" ʿAsim bin Thabit; the leader of the Sariya said, "By Allah! I will not come down to be under the protection of infidels. O Allah! Convey our news to Your Prophet. Then the infidels threw arrows at them till they martyred ʿAsim along with six other men, and three men came down accepting their promise and convention, and they were Khubaib-al-Ansari and Ibn Dathina and another man So, when the infidels captured them, they undid the strings of their bows and tied them. Then the third (of the captives) said, "This is the first betrayal. By Allah! I will not go with you. No doubt these, namely the martyred, have set a good example to us." So, they dragged him and tried to compel him to accompany them, but as he refused, they killed him. They took Khubaid and Ibn Dathina with them and sold them (as slaves) in Mecca (and all that took place) after the battle of Badr. Khubaib was bought by the sons of Al-Harith bin 'Amir bin Naufal bin ʿAbd Manaf. It was Khubaib who had killed Al-Harith bin 'Amir on the day (of the battle of) Badr. So, Khubaib remained a prisoner with those people. Narrated Az-Zuhri: 'Ubaidullah bin 'Iyyad said that the daughter of Al-Harith had told him, "When those people gathered (to kill Khubaib) he borrowed a razor from me to shave his pubes and I gave it to him. Then he took a son of mine while I was unaware when he came upon him. I saw him placing my son on his thigh and the razor was in his hand. I got scared so much that Khubaib noticed the agitation on my face and said, 'Are you afraid that I will kill him? No, I will never do so.' By Allah, I never saw a prisoner better than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I saw him eating of a bunch of grapes in his hand while he was chained in irons, and there was no fruit at that time in Mecca." The daughter of Al-Harith used to say, "It was a boon Allah bestowed upon Khubaib." When they took him out of the Sanctuary (of Mecca) to kill him outside its boundaries, Khubaib requested them to let him offer two rakʿat (prayer). They allowed him and he offered Two rakʿat and then said, "Hadn't I been afraid that you would think that I was afraid (of being killed), I would have prolonged the prayer. O Allah, kill them all with no exception." (He then recited the poetic verse):-- "I being martyred as a Muslim, Do not mind how I am killed in Allah's Cause, For my killing is for Allah's Sake, And if Allah wishes, He will bless the amputated parts of a torn body" Then the son of Al Harith killed him. So, it was Khubaib who set the tradition for any Muslim sentenced to death in captivity, to offer a two-rakʿat prayer (before being killed). Allah fulfilled the invocation of ʿAsim bin Thabit on that very day on which he was martyred. The Prophet ﷺ informed his companions of their news and what had happened to them. Later on when some infidels from Quraish were informed that ʿAsim had been killed, they sent some people to fetch a part of his body (i.e. his head) by which he would be recognized. (That was because) ʿAsim had killed one of their chiefs on the day (of the battle) of Badr. So, a swarm of wasps, resembling a shady cloud, were sent to hover over ʿAsim and protect him from their messenger and thus they could not cut off anything from his flesh.

Some people said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He said, "Do you crowd and squeeze each other on looking at the sun when it is not hidden by clouds?" They replied, "No, Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said, "Do you crowd and squeeze each other on looking at the moon when it is full and not hidden by clouds?" They replied, No, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" He said, "So you will see Him (your Lord) on the Day of Resurrection similarly Allah will gather all the people and say, 'Whoever used to worship anything should follow that thing. 'So, he who used to worship the sun, will follow it, and he who used to worship the moon will follow it, and he who used to worship false deities will follow them; and then only this nation (i.e., Muslims) will remain, including their hypocrites. Allah will come to them in a shape other than they know and will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'We seek refuge with Allah from you. This is our place; (we will not follow you) till our Lord comes to us, and when our Lord comes to us, we will recognize Him. Then Allah will come to then in a shape they know and will say, "I am your Lord.' They will say, '(No doubt) You are our Lord,' and they will follow Him. Then a bridge will be laid over the (Hell) Fire." Messenger of Allah ﷺ added, "I will be the first to cross it. And the invocation of the Apostles on that Day, will be 'Allahumma Sallim, Sallim (O Allah, save us, save us!),' and over that bridge there will be hooks Similar to the thorns of As Sa'dan (a thorny tree). Didn't you see the thorns of As-Sa'dan?" The companions said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He added, "So the hooks over that bridge will be like the thorns of As-Sa-dan except that their greatness in size is only known to Allah. These hooks will snatch the people according to their deeds. Some people will be ruined because of their evil deeds, and some will be cut into pieces and fall down in Hell, but will be saved afterwards, when Allah has finished the judgments among His slaves, and intends to take out of the Fire whoever He wishes to take out from among those who used to testify that none had the right to be worshipped but Allah. We will order the angels to take them out and the angels will know them by the mark of the traces of prostration (on their foreheads) for Allah banned the f ire to consume the traces of prostration on the body of Adam's son. So they will take them out, and by then they would have burnt (as coal), and then water, called Ma'ul Hayat (water of life) will be poured on them, and they will spring out like a seed springs out on the bank of a rainwater stream, and there will remain one man who will be facing the (Hell) Fire and will say, 'O Lord! It's (Hell's) vapor has Poisoned and smoked me and its flame has burnt me; please turn my face away from the Fire.' He will keep on invoking Allah till Allah says, 'Perhaps, if I give you what you want), you will ask for another thing?' The man will say, 'No, by Your Power, I will not ask You for anything else.' Then Allah will turn his face away from the Fire. The man will say after that, 'O Lord, bring me near the gate of Paradise.' Allah will say (to him), 'Didn't you promise not to ask for anything else? Woe to you, O son of Adam ! How treacherous you are!' The man will keep on invoking Allah till Allah will say, 'But if I give you that, you may ask me for something else.' The man will say, 'No, by Your Power. I will not ask for anything else.' He will give Allah his covenant and promise not to ask for anything else after that. So Allah will bring him near to the gate of Paradise, and when he sees what is in it, he will remain silent as long as Allah will, and then he will say, 'O Lord! Let me enter Paradise.' Allah will say, 'Didn't you promise that you would not ask Me for anything other than that? Woe to you, O son of Adam ! How treacherous you are!' On that, the man will say, 'O Lord! Do not make me the most wretched of Your creation,' and will keep on invoking Allah till Allah will smile and when Allah will smile because of him, then He will allow him to enter Paradise, and when he will enter Paradise, he will be addressed, 'Wish from so-and-so.' He will wish till all his wishes will be fulfilled, then Allah will say, All this (i.e. what you have wished for) and as much again therewith are for you.' " Abu Huraira added: That man will be the last of the people of Paradise to enter (Paradise).

Is there not for you a model pattern in me? And when they narrated this to him (Sa'd b. Hisham), he returned to his wife, though he had divorced her and made (people) witness to his reconciliation. He then came to Ibn 'Abbas and asked him about the Witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Ibn 'Abbas said: Should I not lead you to one who knows best amongst the people of the world about the Witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: Who is it? He (Ibn 'Abbas) said: It is 'A'isha. So go to her and ask her (about Witr) and then come to me and inform me about her answer that she would give you. So I came to Hakim b. Aflah and requested him to take me to her. He said: I would not go to her, for I forbade her to speak anything (about the conflict) between the two groupS, but she refused (to accept my advice) and went (to participate in that corflict). I (requested) him (Hakim) with an oath to lead me to her. So we went to 'A'isha and we begged permission to meet her. She granted us permission and we went in. She said: Are you Hakim? (She recognised him.) He replied: Yes. She said: Who is there with you? He said: He is Sa'd b. Hisham. She said: Which Hisham? He said: He is Hisham b. 'Amir. She blessed him ('Amir) with mercy from Allah and spoke good of him (Qatada said that he died as a martyr in Uhud). I said: Mother of the Faithful, tell me about the character of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: Don't you read the Qur'an? I said: Yes. Upon this she said: The character of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the Qur'an. He said: I felt inclined to get up and not ask anything (further) till death. But then I changed my mind and said: Inform me about the observance (of the night prayer) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: Did you not recite:" O thou wrapped up"? He said: Yes. She said: Allah, the Exalted and the Glorious, made the observance of the night prayer at the beginning of this Surah obligatory. So the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him and his Companions around him observed this (night prayer) for one year. Allah held back the concluding portion of this Surah for twelve months in the Heaven till (at the end of this period) Allah revealed the concluding verses of this Surah which lightened (the burden of this prayer), and the night prayer became a supererogatory prayer after being an obligatory one. I said: Mother of the Faithful, inform me about the Witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: I used to prepare tooth stick for him and water for his ablution, and Allah would rouse him to the extent He wished during the night. He would use the tooth stick, and perform ablution, and would offer nine rak'ahs, and would not sit but in the eighth one and would remember Allah, and praise Him and supplicate Him, then he would get up without uttering the salutation and pray the ninth rak'ah. He would then sit, remember, praise Him and supplicate Him and then utter a salutation loud enough for us to hear. He would then pray two rak'ahs sitting after uttering the salutation, and that made eleven rak'ahs. O my son, but when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ grew old and put on flesh, he observed Witr of seven, doing in the two rak'ahs as he had done formerly, and that made nine. O my son, and when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed prayer, he liked to keep on observing it, and when sleep or pain overpowered him and made it impossible (for him) to observe prayer in the night, he prayed twelve rak'ahs daring the day. I am not aware of Allah's Prophet ﷺ having recited the whole Qur'an during one single night, or praying through the night till morning, or fasting a complete month, except Ramadan. He (the narrator) said: I then went to Ibn 'Abbas and narrated to him the hadith (transmitted from her), and he said: She says the truth If I went to her and got into her presence, I would have listened to it orally from her. He said: If I were to know that you do not go to her. I would not have transmitted this hadith to you narrated by her.

When we came to Madinah we ate from its fruits and did not feel comfortable in it, and we became ill. The Prophet ﷺ was trying to find out about the well of Badr, and when we heard that the mushrikeen had come, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ marched to Badr, and Badr was a well. We got there before the mushrikeen and we found two of their men, a man from Quraish and a freed slave of “Uqbah bin Abi Muʿait. As for the Qurashi, he managed to escape, but we caught the freed slave of ‘Uqbah and started asking him: How many are the people? He said: By Allah, they are great in number and powerful. When he said that, the Muslims began to beat him and they brought him to the Prophet ﷺ, who said: How many are the people? He said: By Allah, they are great in number and powerful. The Prophet ﷺ tried hard to make him tell him how many they were, but he refused. Then the Prophet ﷺ asked him: How many camels do they slaughter? He said: Ten each day. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: They are one thousand; each camel is for one hundred men. Then a shower of rain fell on us at night and we rushed to seek shelter beneath the trees and leather shields, sheltering from the rain. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spent the night calling upon his Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, saying: “O Allah, if You cause this band to be destroyed, You will never be worshipped.” When dawn came, he called out: ʿPrayer, O slaves of Allah!” And the people came from beneath the trees and shields and the Messenger of Allah led us in prayer and encouraged us to fight. Then he said: ʿThe army of Quraish is beneath this red outcrop of the mountain.ʿ When the people drew close to us, and we stood in ranks facing one another, we saw one of their men, riding a red camel of his, going around among the people. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿO ʿAli, call Hamzah for meʿ - as he was the closest of them to the mushrikeen - and said ʿWho is the one on the red camel and what is he saying to them?ʿ Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿIf there is anyone among the people who is enjoining good, then perhaps it is the one on the red camel.ʿ Hamzah came and said: He is ʿUtbah bin Rabeeʿah, and he is telling them not to fight; he is saying to them: O people, I can see people who are going to fight to the death and you will never be able to harm them, because it will cost you too dear to do so. O people, put the blame on me and say: ʿUtbah bin Rabeeʿah is a coward, although you know that I am not the most cowardly among you. Abu Jahl heard that and said: Are you saying this? By Allah, if anyone else said this I would have insulted him; you are filled with fear, ‘Utbah said: Do you mean me, O you with the whistling rear end (i.e., one who breaks wind a great deal because of fear)? Today you will know which of us is the coward. Then ‘Utbah and his brother Shaibah and his son al-Waleed stepped forward in a display of courage and said: Who will come out to fight in single combat? Six young men of the Ansar stepped forward, but ʿUtbah said: We do not want these; let some of our cousins of Banu ‘Abdul-Muttalib come out. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿGet up, O Ali, get up, O Hamzah, get up, O ʿUbaidah bin al-Harith bin ‘Abdul-Muttalib.ʿ Allah caused ʿUtbah and Shaibah, the two sons of Rabeeʿah, and al-Waleed bin ‘Utbah to be killed and ‘Ubaidah was wounded. We killed seventy of them and captured seventy. A short Ansari man brought al-Abbas bin ʿAbdul-Muttalib as a captive, and al-ʿAbbas said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, by Allah, this is not the one who captured me; I was captured by a bold man who was one of the most handsome of people, who was riding a piebald horse, but I do not see him among the people. The Ansari said: I captured him, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: ʿBe quiet! Allah, may He be exalted, supported you with a noble angel.ʿ ʿAli ؓ said: We took prisoners, and from among Banu ʿAbdul-Muttalib, we captured al-ʿAbbas, ‘Aqeel and Nawfal bin al-Harith.

[Machine] The sons of Saad ibn Bakr sent Dhimam ibn Tha'alabah as a delegate to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He arrived and tied his camel at the gate of the mosque, then he entered the mosque where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting with his companions. Dhimam, who was a strong man with thick hair and big calves, approached the Prophet ﷺ and asked, "Which one of you is the son of Abdul-Muttalib?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "I am the son of Abdul-Muttalib." Dhimam asked, "Are you Muhammad?" The Prophet ﷺ answered, "Yes." Dhimam said, "I have a question and I am persistent in seeking the answer. Do you find in yourself what I am about to ask?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "I do not find it in myself, so ask me what you want." Dhimam said, "I ask you by Allah, your Lord and the Lord of those who came before you, and the Lord of those who will come after you, did Allah send you to us as a Messenger?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, I swear by Allah." Dhimam continued, "I ask you by Allah, your Lord and the Lord of those who came before you, and the Lord of those who will come after you, did Allah command you to command us to worship Him alone and not associate anything with Him, and to abandon the idols that our ancestors used to worship along with Him?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, I swear by Allah." Dhimam then asked, "I ask you by Allah, your Lord and the Lord of those who came before you, and the Lord of those who will come after you, did Allah command you to establish the five daily prayers?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes, I swear by Allah." Then Dhimam mentioned the rest of the obligations of Islam one by one, and the Prophet ﷺ affirmed each one. Dhimam then said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. I will fulfill these obligations and avoid what you have prohibited me from. I will neither increase nor decrease." Then he turned back to his camel. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If Dhimal with thick hair and big calves speaks the truth, he will enter Paradise." Dhimam went to his people and they gathered around him. The first thing he said to them was, "How evil are Al-Lat and Al-Uzza!" They replied, "What is wrong, Dhimal? Beware of leprosy and madness." Dhimal said, "Woe to you! By Allah, they neither harm nor benefit. Surely, Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, has sent a Messenger and revealed a book to him that will rescue you from what you were in. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and He has no partner, and Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. I have come to you from him with what he has commanded and prohibited. By Allah, there is no man or woman present on this day except as a Muslim." Ibn Abbas said, "We have not heard of a delegate from any people who was better than Dhimam ibn Tha'alabah."

[Machine] About the trench, I gathered a group of men from the Quraysh who used to see my location and hear from me. So I said to them, "Do you know, by Allah, I see Muhammad's matter rising greatly, and I have seen a vision. What do you see in it?" They asked, "What did you see?" I said, "I saw that we meet with the Najashi (King of Abyssinia), so that if Muhammad appears over our people, we will be with the Najashi. Because being under his authority is more beloved to us than being under the authority of Muhammad. And if our people appear, they will only bring us goodness." They said, "This plan is good." So I told them to gather what we will present to the Najashi, and the most beloved thing that could be presented to him was Adham from our land. So we gathered a lot of Adham for him, and we traveled until we reached him. By Allah, we were with him when 'Amr ibn Umayyah Ad-Damri came, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had sent him to the Najashi regarding Ja'far and his companions. 'Amr entered upon him and then left his presence. So I said to my companions, "This is 'Amr ibn Umayyah. If I had met the Najashi and asked him for him, he would have given him to me and I would have killed him. So when Quraysh saw that I had relieved them by killing the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , they let me enter upon him. So I prostrated before him as I used to do, and he said, 'Welcome, my friend. Did you bring me anything from your land?' I said, 'Yes, O King, I have brought you a lot of Adham.' He was amazed by them and liked them. Then I said to him, 'O King, I have seen a man who came from you, and he is a Messenger of a man who is an enemy to us. Give him to me so that I can kill him, for he has harmed some of our nobles and elites.' The Najashi became angry and raised his hand, striking his nose. I thought he had broken it, and if the earth had split open for me, I would have entered it due to him. Then I said to him, 'O King, by Allah, if I had thought that you disliked this, I would not have asked you for it.' He said, 'Do you ask me to give you the Messenger of a man whom the greatest catastrophe used to come to, like that which used to come to Musa, so that you can kill him?' I said, 'O King, is he such?' He said, 'Woe unto you, O 'Amr! Obey him and follow him, for by Allah, he is on the truth and he will be victorious. There will come a time when people will appear against him as Musa appeared against Fir'awn and his soldiers.' I said, 'So pledge allegiance to him for Islam.' He said, 'Yes.' He extended his hand and I pledged allegiance to him for Islam. Then I went out to my companions with my vision being different from what it used to be, and I concealed my Islam from my companions. Then I went out following the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to become Muslim. I met Khalid ibn Al-Walid, who was approaching from Makkah, and I said, 'Where are you, O Abu Sulayman?' He said, 'By Allah, the canyons are straight, and that man is truly a Prophet. I will go and become Muslim.' I asked, 'Until when?' He said, 'By Allah, I only came to become Muslim.' I said, 'We have preceded you in pledging allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' So we arrived to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and Khalid ibn Al-Walid became Muslim and pledged allegiance to him. Then I approached and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I pledge allegiance to you on the condition that you forgive me for what has passed of my sins and that you do not mention them. He ﷺ said, 'O 'Amr, pledge allegiance, for indeed Islam erases what came before it, and Hijrah erases what came before it.' I said, 'So I pledged allegiance to him,' and then I departed." Ibn Ishaq said, "I have narrated this story to you from a trustworthy person." Uthman ibn Talhah ibn Abi Talhah was with them when they became Muslim.

[Machine] Ibn Abbas attended a group of Jews who came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Abu Al-Qasim, tell us about something that only a prophet knows." The Prophet said, "Ask me about whatever you want, but grant me the protection of Allah and what Jacobﷺ made his sons swear to, that if I tell you something, you will follow me in Islam." They agreed. They asked him about four things: which food the Israelites prohibited for themselves before the revelation of the Torah, how the water of a man and a woman differ, how a male offspring is conceived, and how the Prophet, an unlettered person, dreams and who his guardian angel is. The Prophet replied, "You have to abide by the covenant and promise with Allah. If I inform you, will you follow me?" They agreed. Then the Prophet told him, and they acknowledged. The Prophet then said, "I will ask you with the One who revealed the Torah to Moses, do you know that when Jacobﷺ fell seriously ill and his disease persisted, he vowed to Allah that if He healed him, he will prohibit for himself the most beloved food and the most beloved drink to him." They agreed. The Prophet said, "I bear witness with you by Allah who revealed the Torah to Moses. Do you know that the sperm of a man is thick and white, while the sperm of a woman is thin and yellow? Whichever of them surpasses in strength will dictate the gender of the offspring by the permission of Allah. If the man's sperm prevails over the woman's, the child will be male, and if the woman's sperm prevails over the man's, the child will be female by the permission of Allah." They agreed. The Prophet said, "I bear witness with you by Allah who revealed the Torah to Moses. Do you know that the eyes of this unlettered Prophet sleep, but his heart does not?" They agreed. Then they asked, "Who is your guardian angel among the angels?" The Prophet replied, "My guardian angel is Gabriel, peace be upon him. Whenever Allah sent a prophet, Gabriel has always been his guardian angel." They said, "If it were otherwise, we would have followed you and believed in you." The Prophet asked, "What prevents you from believing in me?" They replied, "Because we are your enemies." At that moment, Allah revealed the verse, "Say, "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel - it is [none but] he who has brought the Qur'an down upon your heart, [O Muhammad], by permission of Allah"" (Quran 2:97), until the verse, "And behind them is the Book of Allah, which they do not know" (Quran 2:101). Then Allah further revealed, "Anger is upon anger" (Quran 2:90).

[Machine] We sent the messenger of Allah ﷺ to the Negus, and we were about eighty men, including Abdullah bin Mas'ood, Ja'far, Abdullah bin Urfutah, Uthman bin Mazh'un, and Abu Musa. They went to the Negus, and Quraysh sent Amr bin al-As and Amarah bin al-Walid with a gift. When they entered upon the Negus, they prostrated to him and then sat on his right and left. They said to him, "Some of our relatives have settled in your land and turned away from us and our religion." He asked, "Where are they?" They replied, "They are in your land, so please send for them." He sent for them, and Ja'far said, "I am your speaker today, so follow me." He greeted the Negus and did not prostrate. They asked him, "Why don't you prostrate to the king?" He replied, "We only prostrate to Allah, the Almighty. He sent His Messenger ﷺ to us and commanded us to prostrate only to Him. He also commanded us to pray and pay zakah." Amr bin al-As said, "But they differ from you regarding Jesus, son of Mary." The Negus asked, "What do you say about Jesus, son of Mary and his mother?" They replied, "We say as Allah, the Almighty, says; Jesus is Allah's word and a spirit from Him. He cast it upon the chaste virgin and she became pregnant without a man touching her, and she did not give birth to a son." He then raised a stick from the ground and said, "O people of Abyssinia, priests, and monks, by Allah, they do not differ from what we say about Jesus. They welcome us and the one who has come with us. I bear witness that he is the Messenger of Allah. He is the one we find in the Injeel (Gospel) and the one whom Jesus, son of Mary, gave glad tidings about. Go wherever you like, for Allah, if it were not for the kingdom that I have, I would go to him, carry his slippers, wash his feet, and bring gifts to him." The Negus returned their gifts to them. Abdullah bin Mas'ood hurried until he reached Badr, claiming that the Prophet ﷺ sought his forgiveness when he heard about his death.  

بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ وَنَحْنُ نَحْوٌ مِنْ ثَمَانِينَ رَجُلًا فِيهِمْ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَجَعْفَرٌ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُرْفُطَةَ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ وَأَبُو مُوسَى فَأَتَوْا النَّجَاشِيَّ وَبَعَثَتْ قُرَيْشٌ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ وَعُمَارَةَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ بِهَدِيَّةٍ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَا عَلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ سَجَدَا لَهُ ثُمَّ ابْتَدَرَاهُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَا لَهُ إِنَّ نَفَرًا مِنْ بَنِي عَمِّنَا نَزَلُوا أَرْضَكَ وَرَغِبُوا عَنَّا وَعَنْ مِلَّتِنَا قَالَ فَأَيْنَ هُمْ؟ قَالَ هُمْ فِي أَرْضِكَ فَابْعَثْ إِلَيْهِمْ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ جَعْفَرٌ أَنَا خَطِيبُكُمُ الْيَوْمَ فَاتَّبَعُوهُ فَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ فَقَالُوا لَهُ مَا لَكَ لَا تَسْجُدُ لِلْمَلِكِ؟ قَالَ إِنَّا لَا نَسْجُدُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ ﷻ قَالَ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ بَعَثَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولَهُ ﷺ وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ لَا نَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ ﷻ وَأَمَرَنَا بِالصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ فَإِنَّهُمْ يُخَالِفُونَكَ فِي عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ قَالَ مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمِّهِ؟ قَالُوا نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ هُوَ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ وَرُوحُهُ أَلْقَاهَا إِلَى الْعَذْرَاءِ الْبَتُولِ الَّتِي لَمْ يَمَسَّهَا بَشَرٌ وَلَمْيَفْرِضْهَا وَلَدٌ قَالَ فَرَفَعَ عُودًا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْحَبَشَةِ وَالْقِسِّيسِينَ وَالرُّهْبَانِ َاللهِ مَا يَزِيدُونَ عَلَى الَّذِي نَقُولُ فِيهِ مَا يَسْوَى هَذَا مَرْحَبًا بِكُمْ وَبِمَنْ جِئْتُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ فَإِنَّهُ الَّذِي نَجِدُ فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ وَإِنَّهُ الرَّسُولُ الَّذِي بَشَّرَ بِهِ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ انْزِلُوا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ وَاللهِ لَوْلَا مَا أَنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْمُلْكِ لَأَتَيْتُهُ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا أَحْمِلُ نَعْلَيْهِ وَأُوَضِّئُهُ وَأَمَرَ بِهَدِيَّةِ الْآخَرِينَ فَرُدَّتْ إِلَيْهِمَا ثُمَّ تَعَجَّلَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ حَتَّى أَدْرَكَ بَدْرًا وَزَعَمَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ حِينَ بَلَغَهُ مَوْتُهُ  

[Machine] The people said, "O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you have any difficulty seeing the sun when there are no clouds covering it?" They replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." He then asked, "Do you have any difficulty seeing the moon on a full moon night when there are no clouds covering it?" They again replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Just like that, you will see Him on the Day of Resurrection. Allah will gather the people and ask those who worshipped something, 'Follow what you worshipped.' So those who worshipped the moon will follow the moon, those who worshipped the sun will follow the sun, and those who worshipped the idols will follow the idols. And this Ummah will be left with its hypocrites. Allah will come to them in a form that they do not recognize, and He will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'We seek refuge with Allah from you. This is our place until our Lord comes to us.' When our Lord comes to them, they will recognize Him. Then Allah will come to them in the form that they recognize, and He will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord,' and they will follow Him."

The Prophet ﷺ said, "A bridge will be set up over Hellfire." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I will be the first one to cross it on that day. O Allah, grant us safety, grant us safety.' This bridge will have hooks like the thorns of the Sa'dan tree. Have you seen the Sa'dan tree?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Indeed, it is like the thorns of the Sa'dan tree, but its size and greatness are known only to Allah. People will be snatched away by their deeds. Among them will be those who are caught by their foreheads with the deeds they used to do, and there will be those who are caught by their backsides. They will be saved until when Allah is finished passing judgment among His servants and He wants to bring out of the Fire those who will be entitled to His mercy from among those who themselves said, 'Laa ilaha illallah (There is no God worthy of worship except Allah).' Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) will order the angels, 'Bring out those who used to utter La ilaha illAllah. And the angels will know them by the marks of prostration on their faces and by the traces of wudu' (ablution) on their limbs. Allah has forbidden the Fire to consume the traces of prostrations or ablution.'" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Thus, they will be brought out, having been burned and turned to charcoal. Then the water of life will be poured over them and they will grow just like seeds do in the silt carried by floodwaters. There will be a man who will be facing the Fire and will say, 'O Lord, haven't You promised me that You would not wron [...]

[Machine] The horses of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived, or he said, the messengers of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived, and I was near a scorpion, so they took my aunt and some people. They brought them to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he ordered them to line up for him. She said, "O Messenger of Allah, the newcomer went away and the baby is gone, and I am an old woman with no one to serve me. So who will show me kindness, as God has shown kindness to you?" He asked her, "Who is your neighbor?" She said, "Adi ibn Hatim." He said, "The one who has run away from God and His Messenger?" She said, "So who will show me kindness?" He said, "When he returned, a man came to him, and we could see that it was Ali. He said, 'Put her on a camel and he asked her.' So she went to him and said, 'You have done something that your father used to do.' He said, 'Did you visit him willingly or as a monastic?' She said, 'Such and such person came to him and got something from him, and such and such person came to him and got something from him.' He said, 'So I came to him, and there was a woman and children with him.' They mentioned their relationship to the Prophet ﷺ , so I knew that he did not have the dominion of Khusra or Caesar. He asked him, 'O Adi ibn Hatim, what has prevented you from saying there is no god but Allah? Is there any god but Allah? What has prevented you from saying Allah is the Greatest? Is there anything greater than Allah?' She said, 'So I have submitted and I saw his face light up, and he said, 'Indeed, the Jews are the ones who have earned wrath, and the Christians are the ones who have gone astray.' Then they asked him to praise Allah, and he praised Him and said, 'As for what follows, you people should submit yourself and lower yourselves from pride, as a person submits with a sa' of dates to another person with a handful of dates. Shu'bah said, 'My most knowledgeable opinion is that he said it is one date with a part of a date.' And verily, one of you will meet Allah, and yet he will say, 'What should I say?' Didn't I make you hearing and seeing? Didn't I give you wealth and children? What did you prepare?' So he will look in front of him, behind him, to his right and to his left, and he will not find anything. So the fire will not touch anyone except with his face. So fear the fire, even with a part of a date. And if you do not find that, then with a gentle word. Indeed, I do not fear poverty for you, for Allah will support you and give you victory, or He will open for you until the camels can walk between Al-Hirah and Yathrib. Indeed, what the thieving fears most is the loss of her property.' Muhammad ibn Ja'far said, 'I heard this from Shu'bah, and I recited it to him.'"

He met Ibn 'Abbas and asked him about Witr. He said: "Shall I not lead you to one who knows best among the people of the world about the witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said: "Yes." (Ibn Abbas) said: "It is 'Aishah. So go to her and ask her (about witr) and then come back to me and tell me the answer that she gives you." So I went to Hakim bin Aflah and asked him to go accompany me to her. He said: "I shall not go to her, for I told her not to say anything about these two (conflicting) groups, but she refused (to accept my advice) and went on (to participate in the conflict)." I swore an oath, beseeching him (to take me to her). So he came with me and went unto her. She said to Hakim: "Who is this with you?" He said: "He is Sa'd bin Hisham." She said: "Which Hisham?" He said: "Ibn Amir." She supplicated for mercy for him and said: "What a good man Amir was." He said: "O Mother of the Believers, tell me about the character of the Messenger of Allah." She said: "Don't you read the Qur'an?" I said: "Yes." She said "The character of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the Qur'an." He said: "I wanted to get up (and leave), then I thought of the Qiyam (night prayer) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "Tell me about the Qiyam of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She said: "Do you not recite this surah: "O you wrapped in garments?" I said: "Yes." She said: "Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, made Qiyam Al-Lail obligatory at the beginning of this surah, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions prayed Qiyam Al-Lail for one year. Allah (SWT) withheld the latter part of this surah for twelve months, then he revealed the lessening (of this duty) at the end of this surah, so Qiyam Al-Lail became voluntary after it had been obligatory." I felt inclined to stand up (and not ask anything further), then I thought of the witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said: "O Mother of the Believers, tell me about the witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She said: "We used to prepare his siwak and water for his ablution, and Allah (SWT) would wake him when He wished during the night. He would use the siwak, perform ablution, and then pray eight rak'ahs in which he would not sit until he reached the eighth one. Then he would sit and remember Allah (SWT) and supplicate, then he would say the taslim that we could hear. Then he would pray two rak'as sitting after uttering the taslim, then he would pray one rak'ah, and that made eleven rak'ahs, O my son! When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ grew older and put on weight, he prayed witr with seven rak'ahs, then he prayed two rak'ahs sitting down after saying the taslim, and that made nine rak'ahs. O my son, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺoffered a prayer, he liked to continue to offer it, and when sleep, sickness, or pain distracted him from praying Qiyam Al-Lail, he would pray twelve rak'ahs during the day. I am not aware of the Prophet of Allah ﷺ having recited the whole Qur'an during a single night, or praying through the whole night until morning, or fasting a complete month, except Ramadan." I went to Ibn 'Abbas and told him what she had said, and he said: "She has spoken the truth. If I could go to her (and meet her face to face) I would so that she could tell me all of that verbally." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1601)

[Machine] What we have is better for them, so they agreed until they carried Jabalah and Asma and left Zaid. Then a group of horses from Tihamah, from the Banu Fazara, attacked Tayyi and captured Zaid, and they took him to the market of Ukaz. The Prophet ﷺ saw him before he was sent and said to Khadijah, "O Khadijah, I saw a boy in the market with qualities like Kit and Kait; he has intelligence, good manners, and beauty. If I had wealth, I would buy him." So Khadijah commanded Waraqah bin Nawfal to buy him from her wealth. She said, "O Muhammad, give me this boy as a gift from yourself." The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Khadijah, I only want to adopt him." She agreed, and she raised and adopted him. He was called Zaid bin Muhammad. Then a man from the tribe of Hayy saw Zaid and recognized him, and he said, "Are you Zaid bin Harithah?" Zaid said, "No, I am Zaid bin Muhammad." The man said, "No, you are Zaid bin Harithah, from the lineage of your father and your uncles, Kit and Kait. They have exhausted themselves and spent their wealth for your sake." Then Zaid recited a poem expressing his love for his people. Harithah wept and did not know what to do, whether Zaid was still alive or not. Oh, by Allah, I do not know, but I ask, O Sahl, is the plain easier for you or the mountain? Oh, I wish I knew if you would return to me one day. My sorrow for you is so long, and I wonder, will you ever come back to me? I will strive and never tire of walking the mountains, and I will not tire of making tawaf or the camels. Perhaps death will visit me before you do. Every soul will taste death, so may Allah bless me with a good family and a prosperous offspring. Harithah came to him when he was with his brothers and family in Makkah. He went to the Prophet ﷺ and found him sitting in the courtyard of the Kaaba with a group of his companions, including Zaid bin Harithah. When they saw Zaid, they recognized him, and he recognized them. However, they did not rise in reverence for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They said, "O Zaid!" But he did not respond. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Who are these, O Zaid?" He replied, "O Messenger of Allah, this is my father, my uncle, my brother, and these are my relatives." The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Go and greet them, O Zaid." So Zaid stood and greeted them, and they greeted him. Then they said to him, "Come with us, O Zaid." He replied, "I only desire the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; I do not desire anyone else in return." They said, "O Muhammad, we will give you this boy as compensation, so name your price." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I ask you to bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that I am the final Prophet and Messenger, and that you accept Islam. They agreed and accepted Islam. Then they said, "What

[Machine] "Do not be intimidated by them, for they will return. So We revealed (to Ali) and when it was morning, one who looked like me (Ali) went out, and when he went out, I reminded him (the people) of that incident. Ali said, 'Do not be scared by their presence, for their command is insignificant.' Ali said, 'Do not initiate the fight with them until they initiate it with you.' They sat on their knees and we prepared for battle, and we used our shields as protection. They approached us and handed us spears, and then they attacked us with arrows. Then they got closer and they picked up swords to attack us until they wanted to attack us with their swords. Then, a man from the Banu Abdi Qays tribe named Sa'sa'a bin Sohan called out three times and they asked him what he wanted. He said, 'I remind you to have God in your hearts and to fight on the land that will bear disrespect against its people. I remind you to leave behind the religion, as it will leave you behind like an arrow from a bow.' When we saw that they had placed their swords on us, Ali said, 'Get up, with the blessing of Allah the Almighty.' It was not even midday when we were scattered everywhere and we escaped, and whoever ran, ran. Ali thanked Allah and said, 'My friend (the Prophet) informed me that the leader of the enemy was a man whose hands were marked with hair, like the tail of a lizard. Go and find him.' So we looked for him and we could not find him. Then, an man from the people of Kufa came and said, 'Here he is.' Ali said, 'Allah is the Greatest, by Allah, no one will inform you about his father's lineage being the King.' People started saying, 'This is a King.' Ali said, 'Whose son is he?' They said, 'We do not know.' Then, a man from the people of Kufa came and said, 'I know this man. I was offering cattle as a dowry for a certain man from Banu Fulan, a sheikh from Banu Fulan, and I put easy-to-wear ornaments on them. When I turned my back, the cow ran away, and he called me and said, 'Oh boy, look, the cow has run away.' So I said, 'I see an image of a sunset or a sheep.' He got closer to us, and Ali said, 'Who is that man?' The people said, 'This is the one.' Ali said, 'I swear by Allah, this man has come to you from Yamama to worship Allah in the mosque of Kufa. He worshipped Allah there and called the people until they gathered around him.' Ali said, 'My friend (the Prophet) informed me that these are three brothers from the Jinn. This is the eldest, the second has a large following, and the third one is weak.' Muslim narrated this hadith in Sahih al-Masnad in an abbreviated manner, and it is an authentic hadith."

[Machine] "He, Ali, O Amr, you had made a pact with Allah on behalf of Quraysh that no man should invite another man except for one of the two shall be accepted. And so, Amr said, 'Yes.' Then Ali said to him, 'Verily, I invite you to Allah, the Almighty, and to His Messenger ﷺ and to Islam.' Amr replied, 'I have no need for that.' Ali then said, 'Indeed, I invite you to combat.' Amr said, 'O my nephew, why?' Ali replied, 'By Allah, I do not wish to kill you, but I wish for you to kill me.' So Amr became furious and charged at Ali with his horse, but Ali struck the horse and killed it. Amr then approached Ali and said, 'Who will duel with me?' Ali stood up, with his face covered in armor, and said, 'I am the one, O Prophet of Allah.' The Prophet ﷺ allowed him and Ali went towards him saying, 'Do not rush, for there has come to you an answer. Your voice is not weak, and you are knowledgeable and perceptive. And truth is the salvation for every victor. I do hope to avenge upon you a blow that would remain remembered. Amr asked, 'Who are you?' Ali replied, 'I am Ali.' Amr asked, 'The son of whom?' Ali said, 'I am Ali ibn Abi Talib.' Amr then said, 'You have with you, O my nephew, some of your maternal uncles who are better than you. Leave and I do not wish to shed your blood.' Ali replied, 'By Allah, I do not mind shedding your blood.' So Amr became angry, dismounted from his horse, and drew his sword as if it were a flaming torch. He approached Ali in anger, while Ali faced him with his shield. Amr struck at Ali's shield but it fell and remained stuck with his sword. He struck at Ali's head, cutting through it, and Ali struck him on the neck, causing him to fall down. The infidels then made a commotion and the Prophet ﷺ heard the takbeer (Allahu Akbar) and knew that Ali had killed him. Ali then said, 'I am certain that the cavalry will attack in the same manner as I and they will delay my companions today. I am determined and vigilant in my resolve, with no other comrade but Ibn Abd. When I approached him, I swore and summoned them to listen to my recitation from the Book. I am indeed truthful, for I affirm those who exclaim righteousness, two men who strike all opponents. I have with me, a stick between branches, an uncomplaining trunk, tainted by his thoughtlessness. And I worship the Lord of Muhammad, with correctness. Ali then turned towards the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a beaming face. Umar ibn Khattab said to him, 'Why don't you take his armor? For there is no better armor for the Arabs than that.' Ali replied, 'I struck him, fearing him and being shy of my cousin, to take his armor. I left his horses defeated until they were thrown into the trench.'

[Machine] As the people of Yemen approached, Umar began to gather companions and asked them, "Is there anyone among you from Qaran?" Until a man from Qaran came to him and Umar asked, "Who are you?" They replied, "I am Qaran." Umar then held him by the collar and recognized him by his distinctive appearance. Umar asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "My name is Uwais." Umar asked him, "Do you have a mother?" He said, "Yes." Umar asked, "Do you have any white spots on your body?" He replied, "Yes, I prayed to Allah to remove it from my body except for the size of a dirham, so that I may remember my Lord with it." Umar said to him, "Ask forgiveness for me." He replied, "You are more deserving to ask forgiveness for me. You are the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Umar said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'The best follower is a man named Uwais Al-Qarni. He has a mother and he has white spots on his body. He supplicated to his Lord, and he was cured except for the size of a dirham on his shin, which he uses to remember his Lord with.'" Umar then requested forgiveness from him. Uwais went among the people, but Umar did not know where he went. Uwais arrived in Kufa and we used to gather in a circle to remember Allah, and he would sit among us. When he mentioned something, it remained fixed in our hearts, and no other speech could take its place. One day, I lost him, so I asked my companion, "What happened to the man who used to join us?" He said, "Who are you referring to?" I asked, "Who is that?" He said, "That is Uwais Al-Qarni." I then found out where he was staying and I went to see him. I said to him, "May Allah have mercy on you, where have you been and why did you leave us?" He replied, "I did not have a garment, so it prevented me from coming to you." I then took off my own garment and threw it to him. He threw it back to me saying, "I delayed wearing it for an hour." Then he said, "If I had taken this garment from you and worn it, my people would have seen me in it, and they would have thought, 'This is the one they accuse of being a self-indulgent.' So I took off my own garment and threw it back to him and said, "Leave until I hear what they say." So he wore the garment and we left together. When he passed by his people's gathering, they said, "Look at this self-indulgent one, he has not stopped with anyone until he deceived him and took his garment." I said to him, "Are you not ashamed? Why did you harm him?" By Allah, I presented it to him and he refused to accept it." Uwais replied, "Delegations from various Arab tribes came to Umar and their leader said to him, 'O Umar bin Khattab, is there anyone among you from Qaran?' Umar asked him, 'Are you their leader?' He replied, 'Yes, I am.' Umar then asked him, 'Do you know a man from Qaran named Uwais who has such and such characteristics?' The leader of the delegation said, 'O Amir-ul-Mu'minin, why do you mention this person and his matters?' Umar said to him, 'May your mother be bereaved of you! I encountered him two or three times.' Then Umar said, 'When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned him to us, he said, 'A man named Uwais bin 'Amir from Qaran will come to you, and he has such and such characteristics.' When the man came, he did not start with anyone before Umar, so he went to him and asked for forgiveness. Umar asked him, 'What prayer have you made for me?' He replied, 'Umar said such and such to me.' Umar said, 'I am not asking for forgiveness for you until you make three promises.' Uwais asked, 'What are they?' Umar said, 'Do not afflict me with what remains for you, and do not inform anyone about what Umar said to you, and forget the third one.'"

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

[Machine] The messenger of Allah (pbuh) ordered us to depart to the land of the Negus, so the Quraysh found out about it and they sent Amr ibn al-Aas and Ammarah ibn al-Waleed and they gathered gifts for the Negus. We arrived before them to the Negus and they came to him with gifts, and he accepted them and prostrated to Allah. Then Amr ibn al-Aas told him that there are people among us who have deviated from our religion while they are in your land. The Negus asked, "In my land?" Amr replied, "Yes." The Negus then sent for us, and Ja'far, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "No one among us will speak today, I will be your spokesperson." So we went to the Negus, while he was sitting in his council with Amr ibn al-Aas on his right and Ammarah on his left, and the priests were sitting, wearing white garments. Amr said to him, "They don't prostrate to you." So when we reached the Negus, we exposed those who were with him from the priests and monks, and they prostrated to the king. Ja'far said, "We only prostrate to Allah." The Negus asked, "And what is this?" Ja'far replied, "Indeed, Allah has sent among us His Messenger, who is the one Jesus foretold. He comes after him, and his name is Ahmad. He has commanded us to worship Allah alone, not associating anything with Him, to establish prayer, pay Zakat, and commanded us to do good and forbid evil." The people were amazed by his words. When Amr saw that, he said to the Negus, "May Allah rectify the king, for they differ with you regarding Jesus, the son of Mary." The Negus asked Ja'far, "What does your companion say about Jesus, the son of Mary?" He replied, "He says about him what is stated in the word of Allah, that he is the Spirit from Allah and His word that He sent down to the Virgin Mary, untouched by any man." The Negus picked up a stick from the ground and said, "O priests and monks, does what he says increase upon what you say about Jesus?" They replied, "This does not weigh as much as a goodbye from you. Welcome to you and to those who have come to you from him. I bear witness that he is the messenger of Allah and the one Jesus foretold. If it weren't for the fact that I am in his place of authority, I would go to him, even if that meant I had to crawl to him. Stay in my land as long as you wish, and I will provide you with food and clothing." Then he said, "Give them back their gifts."

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

Abu Bakr bought a saddle from ‘Azib for thirteen dirhams, then Abu Bakr said to 'Azib. Tell al-Bara to carry it to my house. He said: No, not until you tell us what happened when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and you were with him. Abu Bakr said: We started our journey at the beginning of the night and we hastened for one day and one night, until it was midday. I looked into the distance to see whether there was anywhere to seek shade, and I saw a rock, so I went to it and it had a little shade. I smoothed the ground for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and spread a garment of camel hair for him, and said: Lie down and rest, O Messenger of Allah. So he lay down, and I went out to see if I could spot anyone looking for us. Then I saw a shepherd and I said: Who do you belong to, O boy? He said: To a man of Quraish. He mentioned his name and I recognised it. I said: Is there any milk in your sheep? He said: Yes | said: Will you milk some for me? He said: Yes. I told him to do that, so he caught a sheep, then I told him to brush the dust from its teat, then to brush the dust off his hands. I had a small vessel with me on the neck of which was a cloth. He milked a little bit of milk for me and I poured it into the vessel until it cooled down. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When I reached him, he had already woken up. I said: Drink, O Messenger of Allah. He drank until I was pleased, then I said: Is it time to move on? So we moved on and the people were coming after us but none of them caught up with us except Suraqah bin Malik bin Ju'shum, who was riding a horse of his, I said: O Messenger of Allah, someone has caught up with us. He said: ʿDo not be afraid, for Allah is with us.ʿ When he got close to us, and there was no more between us and him then the length of a spear or two or three spears, I said: O Messenger of Allah, this pursuer has caught up with us, and I wept. He said: ʿWhy are you weeping?ʿ I said: I am not weeping for myself; rather I am weeping for you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed against him [the pursuer] and said: “O Allah, protect us from him by whatever means You will.” Then his horse's legs sank into the solid ground up to its belly, and he fell off it. He said: O Muhammad, I know that this is because of you; pray to Allah to save me from my predicament, and by Allah I shall divert away from you any one who is behind me of those who are seeking you. Here is my quiver, take one arrow. You are going to pass by some camels and sheep of mine in such and such a place, take whatever you need from thern. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿI have no need of it.“ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for him and he was released, and he went back to his companions. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I continued on our way until we came to Madinah, where the people met him. They came out on the road and on the roofs, and a lot of servants and children crowded the road saying: Allahu Akbar, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has come, Muhammad has come. The people disputed as to who he would stay with. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿTonight I will stay with Banun-Najjar, the maternal uncles of 'Abdul-Muttalib, to honour them thereby.” The next morning, he went where he was instructed. Al-Bara' bin 'Azib said: The first of the Muhajireen to come to us was Mus'ab bin 'Umair, the brother of Banu 'Abdud-Dar. Then Ibn Umm Maktoom, the blind man and brother of Banu Fihr, came to us. Then 'Umar bin al-Khattab, came to us with twenty riders and we said: What happened to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: He is behind me. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and Abu Bakr was with him. Al-Bara said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not come until I had read some soorahs from al-Mufassal [Al-Mufassal is that portion of the Qur'an which goes from Qaf to an-Nas]. Isra'eel said: al-Bara' was one of the Ansar from Banu Harithah. (Using translation from Aḥmad 3)

[Machine] Arbad son of Qais son of Juzi son of Khalid son of Jaafar son of Kilab and Aamir son of Tufayl son of Malik came to the Prophet ﷺ in Al-Madinah. They approached the Prophet ﷺ while he was sitting, so they sat in front of him. Aamir bin Tufayl said, "O Muhammad, what will you grant me if I embrace Islam?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "You will have what the Muslims have, and you will be responsible for what they are responsible for." Aamir bin Tufayl asked, "Will I have authority if I embrace Islam after you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "That is not for you or your people, but you will have the authority of the horses." Aamir bin Tufayl said, "I am currently in charge of the horses of Najd, so make me the chief and you will have the emirates." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "No." When Arbad and Aamir left the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Aamir said to Arbad, "I will distract Muhammad with a conversation, so strike him with the sword. When the people see that Muhammad has been killed, they will accept the blood money and avoid war, and we will give them the blood money." Arbad agreed, so they both returned to him. Aamir said to the Prophet ﷺ, "Stand up and talk to me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to talk to him, and Arbad handed the sword to Aamir. But when Aamir touched the handle of the sword, it became rigid and he could not unsheathe it. Arbad hesitated in attacking Aamir, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from them. When Aamir and Arbad left the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and reached Harrah, Saad bin Muadh and Usaid bin Hudayr intercepted them. They said, "Look, O enemies of Allah! May Allah curse both of you." Aamir asked, "Who is this, O Saad?" Saad replied, "This is Usaid bin Hudayr of the armies." They continued until they reached Riqm, where Allah sent a thunderbolt upon Arbad, killing him. Aamir continued until he reached Harrah, where Allah afflicted him with a wound that paralyzed him. He spent the night in the house of a woman from the Banu Sulayl tribe, repeatedly touching his wound and stating, "This is like a tick of a camel in the house of a Sulayliyyah." He desired to die in her house. Then he mounted his horse and brought it to the place where he met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he died on the way back. Allah revealed regarding them, "Allah knows what every female carries, and what the wombs lose [prematurely] or exceed. And everything with Him is by due measure. [He is] the one who shows you the lightning, [causing] fear and aspiration, and He creates the clouds, heavy and light. And the thunder exalts [Allah] with praise of Him and the angels [as well] from fear of Him. And He sends thunderbolts and strikes therewith whom He wills while they dispute about Allah; and He is severe in assault."

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

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

[Machine] Safwan wished that life would become worse after the defeat of Badr. Umayr said, "By Allah, there is nothing good in life anymore. If it weren't for the debts and my family and dependents, I would not find any reason to stay alive. I would have gone to Muhammad and killed him. If it weren't for my fear of him, I would have killed him. Safwan was pleased with Umayr's words, so he said to him, "Go ahead and stay with me for a few nights." Umayr arrived at the city and stopped at the door of the mosque. He took out his sword, which was Sharpened and poisoned, and Umar ibn al-Khattab saw him as he was talking to a group of Ansar who were discussing the Battle of Badr and thanking Allah for his blessings. When Umar saw Umayr with his sword, he became alarmed and said to him, "You have this dog with you, the enemy of Allah, who has stirred up discord among us and betrayed our people." Umar then entered and informed the Prophet of what had happened. The Prophet said, "Bring him to me." Umar and Umayr entered along with their companions, and the Prophet ordered his companions to be cautious and aware of Umayr when he entered. Umar began to insult Umayr, and the Prophet asked Umar to leave him alone. As Umar approached the Prophet, he greeted him in the manner of the people of ignorance, but the Prophet corrected his greeting and said that Allah has honored us with a better greeting, which is As-salamu alaikum, the greeting of the people of Paradise.

[Machine] Umair ibn Wahb al-Jumahi sat with Safwan ibn Umayyah after the people of Badr from the Quraysh were afflicted with calamities in the Hijr Isma'il (a place near the Kaaba). He was one of those who harmed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions and insulted them while they were in Makkah. Umair's son, Wahb ibn Umair, was taken captive by the companions of Badr. Umair mentioned the hardships of the people of Quraysh and Safwan said, "By Allah, there is still life after them." Umair said, "You speak the truth. By Allah, if it weren't for the debts I owe and my children who are vulnerable after me, I would ride to Muhammad to kill him. For in them is my son held captive. So seize this opportunity, Safwan." Safwan said to him, "I will settle your debt and your children will be with my children. They will want for nothing that I am unable to provide." Umair said, "Keep my matter and yours a secret." Safwan agreed. Umair ordered his sword to be sharpened and poisoned, then he set off for Madinah. While Umar ibn al-Khattab was in Madinah, sitting with a group of Muslims, talking about the day of Badr and how Allah had honored them and how they had prevailed over their enemies, he saw Umair ibn Wahb standing at the door of the mosque, his sword wrapped with a cloth. Umar said, "This is that dog, the enemy of Allah, Umair ibn Wahb. He has come for nothing but evil." Umar then went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is the enemy of Allah, Umair ibn Wahb. He has come with his sword wrapped." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Let him in." Umair approached, his sword wrapped, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Send him in, O Umar. Call him

[Machine] May Allah curse life after the martyrs of Badr. By Allah, there is no better life after them. If it weren't for the debt upon me, I wouldn't care about providing for my family. I would leave and go to Muhammad and kill him. If my eyes had their fill of him, I have a reason with him, and I will use it against him. I will say, "I have come for my captive son." Safwan rejoiced at his words and said, "By your religion and family, you are an example of my own family in terms of financial support. I cannot give them anything." Safwan carried him and prepared him, and ordered Umair's sword to be sharpened and poisoned. Umair said to Safwan, "Keep me hidden for a few days." Umair approached until he reached Medina and camped at the gate of the Masjid. He tied his camel and took his sword, then headed towards the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Umar ibn Al-Khattab saw him and he was sitting with a group of Ansar talking about the Battle of Badr and mentioning Allah's blessings in it. When Umar saw him with a sword, he became alarmed and said, "This is the dog, the enemy of Allah, who caused discord among us on the day of Badr, and he harmed our people." Then Umar got up and went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "This is Umair ibn Wahb. He entered the Masjid carrying his sword, and he is the treacherous criminal. O Messenger of Allah, do not trust him." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Let him enter." Umar left and ordered his companions to enter with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and to

[Machine] A group of Jews came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ one day and said, "O Abu Al-Qasim, tell us about some things that only a Prophet knows." He replied, "Ask me about whatever you want, but guarantee me the protection of Allah. And know that whatever Jacob took from his sons, if I tell you about it and you recognize it, you must follow me." They agreed, and asked him four questions: Which food did the Israelites forbid upon themselves before the Torah was revealed? How does the water of a woman differ from the water of a man? How can a child resemble their mother or father? How can this unlettered Prophet be among his people? And who is his guardian angel? The Prophet replied, "I have Allah's covenant with you. If I tell you, give me whatever guarantee and condition I wish." They agreed, and he said, "I swear by the one who revealed the Torah to Moses, do you know that Israel once fell seriously ill and his condition worsened? He made a vow that if Allah cured him of his illness, he would forever prohibit his most beloved drink and food. His most beloved food was the meat of camels and his most beloved drink was their milk." They said, "O Allah, yes." He said, "O Allah, bear witness." And he continued, "I swear by the one who revealed the Torah to Moses, do you know that the water of a man is thick and the water of a woman is thin and yellow? Whichever prevails determines the sex of the child, with the permission of Allah. If the water of a man prevails, the child will be male with the permission of Allah. And if the water of a woman prevails, the child will be female with the permission of Allah." They said, "O Allah, yes." He said, "O Allah, bear witness." And he said, "I swear by the one who revealed the Torah to Moses, do you know that this unlettered Prophet's eyes sleep while his heart does not?" They said, "O Allah, yes." He said, "O Allah, bear witness." Then they said, "Now tell us who is your guardian angel among the angels, for based on your answer, we will either follow you or abandon you." He replied, "My guardian angel is Gabriel, ﷺ . There has never been a Prophet sent by Allah without Gabriel as his guardian angel." They said, "If your guardian angel is someone other than Gabriel, we will abandon you and call you a liar." He said, "What prevents you from believing in him?" They said, "He is our enemy." At that moment, Allah revealed, "Whosoever is an enemy to Gabriel, then indeed he has brought it (this Quran) down upon your heart by Allah's permission, confirming what came before it as a guidance and glad tidings for the believers. Whoever is an enemy to Allah..." until "...they are blind." At that, they became filled with rage.  

حَضَرَتْ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ خِلَالٍ نَسْأَلُكَ عَنْهُنَّ لَا يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ قَالَ «سَلُونِي عَمَّا شِئْتُمْ وَلَكِنِ اجْعَلُوا لِي ذِمَّةَ اللهِ وَمَا أَخَذَ يَعْقُوبُ عَلَى بَنِيهِ لَئِنْ أَنَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ شَيْئًا فَعَرَفْتُمُوهُ لَتُتَابِعُنِّي» قَالُوا فَذَلِكَ لَكَ قَالُوا أَرْبَعُ خِلَالٍ نَسْأَلُكَ عَنْهَا أَخْبِرْنَا أَيُّ الطَّعَامِ حَرَّمَ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تُنَزَّلَ التَّوْرَاةُ وَأَخْبِرْنَا كَيْفَ مَاءُ الْمَرْأَةِ مِنْ مَاءِ الرَّجُلِ؟ وَكَيْفَ يَكُونُ الْأُنْثَى مِنْهُ وَالذَّكَرُ؟ وَأَخْبِرْنَا كَيْفَ هَذَا النَّبِيُّ الْأُمِّيُّ فِي الْقَوْمِ؟ وَمَنْ وَلِيُّهُ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ؟ قَالَ فَعَلَيْكُمْ عَهْدُ اللهِ لَئِنْ أَنَا أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ لَتُتَابِعُنِّي فَأَعْطُوهُ مَا شَاءَ مِنْ عَهْدٍ وَمِيثَاقٍ قَالَ فَأَنْشُدُكُمْ بِالَّذِي أَنْزَلَ التَّوْرَاةَ عَلَى مُوسَى هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَرِضَ مَرَضًا شَدِيدًا فَطَالَ سَقَمُهُ فَنَذَرَ نَذْرًا لَئِنْ عَافَاهُ اللهُ مِنْ سَقَمِهِ لَيُحَرِّمَنَّ أَحَبَّ الشَّرَابِ إِلَيْهِ وَأَحَبَّ الطَّعَامِ إِلَيْهِ وَكَانَ أَحَبُّ الطَّعَامِ إِلَيْهِ لُحْمَانَ الْإِبِلِ وَأَحَبُّ الشَّرَابِ إِلَيْهِ أَلْبَانَهَا؟ قَالُوا اللهُمَّ نَعَمْ قَالَ اللهُمَّ اشْهَدْ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ فَأَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ مَاءَ الرَّجُلِ غَلِيظٌ وَأَنَّ مَاءَ الْمَرْأَةِ أَصْفَرُ رَقِيقٌ فَأَيُّهُمَا عَلَا كَانَ الْوَلَدُ وَالشَّبَهُ بِإِذْنِ اللهِ إِنْ عَلَا مَاءُ الرَّجُلِ كَانَ ذَكَرًا بِإِذْنِ اللهِ وَإِنْ عَلَا مَاءُ الْمَرْأَةِ كَانَ أُنْثَى بِإِذْنِ اللهِ قَالُوا اللهُمَّ نَعَمْ قَالَ اللهُمَّ اشْهَدْ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ فَأَنْشُدُكُمْ بِالَّذِي أَنْزَلَ التَّوْرَاةَ عَلَى مُوسَى هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ الْأُمِّيَّ هَذَا تَنَامَ عَيْنَاهُ وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبُهُ؟ قَالُوا اللهُمَّ نَعَمْ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ اشْهَدْ عَلَيْهِمْ» قَالُوا أَنْتَ الْآنَ فَحَدِّثْنَا مَنْ وَلِيُّكَ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ فَعِنْدَهَا نُجَامِعُكُ أَوْ نُفَارِقُكَ قَالَ «فَإِنَّ وَلِيِّي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَلَمْ يَبْعَثِ اللهُ ﷻ نَبِيًّا قَطُّ إِلَّا وَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُ» قَالُوا فَعِنْدَهَا نُفَارِقُكَ لَوْ كَانَ وَلِيُّكَ سِوَاهُ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ لَاتَّبَعْنَاكَ وَصَدَّقْنَاكَ قَالَ «فَمَا يَمْنَعُكُمْ أَنْ تُصَدِّقُوهُ؟» قَالُوا هُوَ عَدُوُّنَا فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ {مَنْ كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِجِبْرِيلَ فَإِنَّهُ نَزَّلَهُ عَلَى قَلْبِكَ بِإِذْنِ اللهِ مُصَدِّقًا لَمَّا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَهَدًى وَبُشْرَى لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَنْ كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِلَّهِ} إِلَى {وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ} فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ بَاءُوا بِغَضَبٍ عَلَى غَضِبٍ  

[Machine] We went out as pilgrims and our disputes multiplied while we were in a state of ihram. Which one is faster in running, the deer or the horse? While we were like this, a deer came to us and Suhun said to us, "That deer just ran past us from the left." Harun said it with emphasis. Then, one of us threw a stone at it and did not miss. He got on his mount and killed it. It was then thrown into our hands. When we arrived in Mecca, we headed to Umar in Mina. I entered with the companion of the deer to Umar ibn al-Khattab and mentioned to him the incident of the deer that was killed. Umar asked him intentionally or accidentally? And maybe Umar asked, "How did you kill it intentionally or accidentally?" He said, "I aimed to throw it and I did not intend to kill it." A man added, and Umar said, "Intention and mistake have become mixed." Then he turned to a man, and Umar, swearing by Allah, said, "It is as if his face was a heart." He means silver. And maybe he said, "Then he turned to a man beside him and spoke to him for a while." Then he came to my companion and said to him, "Take a sheep from the flock, slaughter it and distribute its meat." And maybe he said, "Give its meat in charity and feed its skin to the needy." Then, when we left him, I approached the man and said, "O Umar, Ibn al-Khattab, the fatwa of Ibn al-Khattab will not benefit you from anything from Allah." And by Allah, Umar did not know until he asked the man who was next to him to slaughter his ride and give it in charity and honor the rituals of Allah. Then, Dhu al-Uwaynatayn approached him and presented it to him. And maybe he said, "Then Dhu al-Uwaynatayn approached Umar and gave it to him." And he may have said, "I do not know anything, and by Allah, I did not feel anything except that he was hitting the darah on me." And he said it several times. And he may have said, "May Allah kill you. You have exceeded the fatwa and you kill the forbidden and you say, 'I did not know.' Didn't Umar ask the one next to him, 'Do you read the book of Allah, for Allah says, 'Let the people of knowledge judge.'" (Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 95). Then he approached me and grabbed my garment edges, and maybe he said, "My garment." And I said, "O Commander of the Believers, I do not allow anything that Allah has forbidden to you." Then he sent me away. Then he approached me and said, "I see you as a young man with a loud tongue and an open chest, and there may be in a man ten good manners, nine of which are good, and maybe he said righteous. And one is evil, so the bad character spoils the nine good manners. So beware of the temptations of youth." Ibn Abi Umar said, Sufyan said, and Abd al-Malik, when he narrated this hadith, he said, "I did not leave out a thousand of them, nor a single 'wa'."

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

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

In the state of the Ignorance (before embracing Islam), I used to think that the people were in error and they were not on anything (which may be called the right path) and worshipped the idols. Meanwhile, I heard of a man in Mecca who was giving news (on the basis of his prophetic knowledge) ; so I sat on my ride and went to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was at that time hiding as his people had made life hard for him. I adopted a friendly attitude (towards the Meccans and thus managed) to enter Mecca and go to him (the Holy Prophet) and I said to him: Who are you? He said: I am a Prophet (of Allah). I again said: Who is a Prophet? He said: (I am a Prophet in the sense that) I have been sent by Allah. I said: What is that which you have been sent with? He said: I have been sent to join ties of relationship (with kindness and affection), to break the Idols, and to proclaim the oneness of Allah (in a manner that) nothing is to be associated with Him. I said: Who is with you in this (in these beliefs and practices)? He said: A free man and a slave. He (the narrator) said: Abu Bakr and Bilal were there with him among those who had embraced Islam by that time. I said: I intend to follow you. He said: During these days you would not be able to do so. Don't you see the (hard) condition under which I and (my) people are living? You better go back to your people and when you hear that I have been granted victory, you come to me. So I went to my family. I was in my home when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Medina. I was among my people and used to seek news and ask people when he arrived in Medina. Then a group of people belonging to Yathrib (Medina) came. I said (to them): How is that person getting on who has come to Medina? They said: The people are hastening to him, while his people (the polytheists of Mecca) planned to kill him, but they could not do so. I (on hearing it) came to Medina and went to him and said: Messenger of Allah, do you recognise me? He said: Yes, you are the same man who met me at Mecca. I said: It is so. I again said: Prophet of Allah, tell me that which Allah has taught you and which I do not know, tell me about the prayer. He said: Observe the dawn prayer, then stop praying when the sun is rising till it is fully up, for when it rises it comes up between the horns of Satan, and the unbelievers prostrate themselves to it at that time. Then pray, for the prayer is witnessed and attended (by angels) till the shadow becomes about the length of a lance; then cease prayer, for at that time Hell is heated up. Then when the shadow moves forward, pray, for the prayer is witnessed and attended by angels, till you pray the afternoon prayer, then cease prayer till the sun sets, for it sets between the horns of devil, and at that time the unbelievers prostrate themselves before it. I said: Apostle of Allah, tell me about ablution also. He said: None of you who uses water for ablution and rinses his mouth, snuffs up water and blows it, but the sins of his face, and his mouth and his nostrils fall out. When he washes his face, as Allah has commanded him, the sins of his face fall out from the end of his beard with water. Then (when) he washes his forearms up to the elbows, the sins of his arms fall out along with water from his finger-tips. And when he wipes his head, the sins of his head fall out from the points of his hair along with water. And (when) he washes his feet up to the ankles, the sins of his feet fall out from his toes along with water. And if he stands to pray and praises Allah, lauds Him and glorifies Him with what becomes Him and shows wholehearted devotion to Allah, his sins would depart leaving him (as innocent) as he was on the day his mother bore him. 'Amr b. 'Abasa narrated this hadith to Abu Umama, a Companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Abu Umama said to him: 'Amr b. 'Abasa, think what you are saying that such (a great reward) is given to a man at one place (only in the act of ablution and prayer). Upon this 'Amr said: Abu Umama, I have grown old and my bones have become weak and I am at the door of death; what impetus is there for me to attribute a lie to Allah and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? Had I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ once, twice, or three times (even seven times), I would have never narrated it, but I have heard it from him on occasions more than these.

فَسَمِعْتُ بِرَجُلٍ بِمَكَّةَ يُخْبِرُ أَخْبَارًا فَقَعَدْتُ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِي فَقَدِمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُسْتَخْفِيًا جُرَّاءٌ عَلَيْهِ قَوْمُهُ فَتَلَطَّفْتُ حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِمَكَّةَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ أَنَا نَبِيٌّ فَقُلْتُ وَمَا نَبِيٌّ؟ قَالَ أَرْسَلَنِي اللهُ فَقُلْتُ بِأِيِّ شَيْءٍ أَرْسَلَكَ؟ قَالَ أَرْسَلَنِي بِصِلَةِ الْأَرْحَامِ وَكَسْرِ الْأَوْثَانِ وَأَنْ يُوَحَّدَ اللهُ لَا يُشْرَكَ بِهِ شَيْءٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَنْ مَعَكَ عَلَى هَذَا؟ قَالَ حُرٌّ وَعَبْدٌ قَالَ وَمَعَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَبِلَالٌ مِمَّنْ آمَنَ بِهِ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي مُتَّبِعُكَ قَالَ إِنَّكَ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَكَ هَذَا أَلَا تَرَى حَالِي وَحَالَ النَّاسِ وَلَكِنِ ارْجِعْ إِلَى أَهْلِكَ فَإِذَا سَمِعْتَ بِي قَدْ ظَهَرْتُ فَأْتِنِي فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِي فَقَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ وَكُنْتُ فِي أَهْلِي فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَخَبَّرُ الْأَخْبَارَ وَأَسْأَلُ كُلَّ مَنْ قَدِمَ مِنَ النَّاسِ حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَيَّ نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ يَثْرِبَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقُلْتُ مَا فَعَلَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ؟ فَقَالُوا النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ سِرَاعٌ وَقَدْ أَرَادَ قَوْمُهُ قَتْلَهُ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَقَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَعْرِفُنِي؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَلَسْتَ الَّذِي أَتَيْتَنِي بِمَكَّةَ؟ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَخْبِرْنِي عَمَّا عَلَّمَكَ اللهُ وَأَجْهَلُهُ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ صَلِّ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ ثُمَّ أَقْصِرْ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ حَتَّى تَرْتَفِعَ فَإِنَّهَا تَطْلُعُ حِينَ تَطْلُعُ بَيْنَ قَرْنَيْ شَيْطَانٍ وَحِينَئِذٍ يَسْجُدُ لَهَا الْكُفَّارُ ثُمَّ صَلِّ فَالصَّلَاةُ مَشْهُودَةٌ مَحْضُورَةٌ حَتَّى يَسْتَقِلَّ الظِّلُّ بِالرُّمْحِ ثُمَّ أَقْصِرْ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّ حِينَئِذٍ تُسَجَّرُ جَهَنَّمُ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَ الْفَيْءُ فَصَلِّ فَإِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ مَشْهُودَةٌ حَتَّى تُصَلِّيَ الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ أَقْصِرْ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ فَإِنَّهَا تَغْرُبُ بَيْنَ قَرْنَيْ شَيْطَانٍ وَحِينَئِذٍ تَسْجُدُ لَهَا الْكُفَّارُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ فَالْوُضُوءُ حَدِّثْنِي عَنْهُ قَالَ مَا مِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ يُقَرِّبُ وَضُوءَهُ فَيُمَضْمِضُ وَيَسْتَنْشِقُ فَيَنْتَثِرُ إِلَّا خَرَّتْ خَطَايَا وَجْهِهِ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ لِحْيَتِهِ وَخَيَاشِيمِهِ مَعَ الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ إِلَّا خَرَّتْ خَطَايَا يَدَيْهِ مِنْ أَنَامِلِهِ مَعَ الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ يَمْسَحُ رَأْسَهُ إِلَّا خَرَّتْ خَطَايَا رَأْسِهِ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ شَعْرِهِ مَعَ الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ قَدَمَيْهِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ إِلَّا خَرَّتْ خَطَايَا رِجْلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنَامِلِهِ مَعَ الْمَاءِ فَإِنْ هُوَ قَامَ فَصَلَّى فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَمَجَّدَهُ بِالَّذِي هُوَ لَهُ أَهْلٌ وَفَرَّغَ قَلَبَهُ لِلَّهِ إِلَّا انْصَرَفَ مِنْ خَطِيئَتِهِ كَهَيْئَتِهِ يَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ فَحَدَّثَ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبَسَةَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ يَا عَمْرُو انْظُرْ مَاذَا تَقُولُ فِي مَقَامٍ وَاحِدٍ يُعْطَى هَذَا الرَّجُلُ؟ فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ لَقَدْ كَبِرَتْ سِنِّي وَرَقَّ عَظْمِي وَاقْتَرَبَ أَجْلَى وَمَا لِي حَاجَةٌ أَنْ أَكْذِبَ عَلَى اللهِ وَلَا عَلَى رَسُولِهِ لَوْ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَّا مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا حَتَّى عَدَّ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ مَا حَدَّثْتُ بِهِ أَبَدًا وَلَكِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ  

Is there not for you a model pattern in me? And when they narrated this to him (Sa'd b. Hisham), he returned to his wife, though he had divorced her and made (people) witness to his reconciliation. He then came to Ibn 'Abbas and asked him about the Witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Ibn 'Abbas said: Should I not lead you to one who knows best amongst the people of the world about the Witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: Who is it? He (Ibn 'Abbas) said: It is 'A'isha. So go to her and ask her (about Witr) and then come to me and inform me about her answer that she would give you. So I came to Hakim b. Aflah and requested him to take me to her. He said: I would not go to her, for I forbade her to speak anything (about the conflict) between the two groupS, but she refused (to accept my advice) and went (to participate in that corflict). I (requested) him (Hakim) with an oath to lead me to her. So we went to 'A'isha and we begged permission to meet her. She granted us permission and we went in. She said: Are you Hakim? (She recognised him.) He replied: Yes. She said: Who is there with you? He said: He is Sa'd b. Hisham. She said: Which Hisham? He said: He is Hisham b. 'Amir. She blessed him ('Amir) with mercy from Allah and spoke good of him (Qatada said that he died as a martyr in Uhud). I said: Mother of the Faithful, tell me about the character of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: Don't you read the Qur'an? I said: Yes. Upon this she said: The character of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the Qur'an. He said: I felt inclined to get up and not ask anything (further) till death. But then I changed my mind and said: Inform me about the observance (of the night prayer) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: Did you not recite:" O thou wrapped up"? He said: Yes. She said: Allah, the Exalted and the Glorious, made the observance of the night prayer at the beginning of this Surah obligatory. So the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him and his Companions around him observed this (night prayer) for one year. Allah held back the concluding portion of this Surah for twelve months in the Heaven till (at the end of this period) Allah revealed the concluding verses of this Surah which lightened (the burden of this prayer), and the night prayer became a supererogatory prayer after being an obligatory one. I said: Mother of the Faithful, inform me about the Witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: I used to prepare tooth stick for him and water for his ablution, and Allah would rouse him to the extent He wished during the night. He would use the tooth stick, and perform ablution, and would offer nine rak'ahs, and would not sit but in the eighth one and would remember Allah, and praise Him and supplicate Him, then he would get up without uttering the salutation and pray the ninth rak'ah. He would then sit, remember, praise Him and supplicate Him and then utter a salutation loud enough for us to hear. He would then pray two rak'ahs sitting after uttering the salutation, and that made eleven rak'ahs. O my son, but when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ grew old and put on flesh, he observed Witr of seven, doing in the two rak'ahs as he had done formerly, and that made nine. O my son, and when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed prayer, he liked to keep on observing it, and when sleep or pain overpowered him and made it impossible (for him) to observe prayer in the night, he prayed twelve rak'ahs daring the day. I am not aware of Allah's Prophet ﷺ having recited the whole Qur'an during one single night, or praying through the night till morning, or fasting a complete month, except Ramadan. He (the narrator) said: I then went to Ibn 'Abbas and narrated to him the hadith (transmitted from her), and he said: She says the truth If I went to her and got into her presence, I would have listened to it orally from her. He said: If I were to know that you do not go to her. I would not have transmitted this hadith to you narrated by her. (Using translation from Muslim 746a)

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

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

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

[Machine] "To identify Abdurrahman and he identified him. When Abdurrahman entered upon Hajjaj, he said, 'You are Abdurrahman bin Aswad.' Abdurrahman said, 'I won't enter the Prince's presence without him knowing my name.' Hajjaj said, 'Indeed.' Hajjaj then asked, 'What do you have with you?' Abdurrahman said, 'I have two bags made of paper.' Hajjaj asked, 'Don't you have anything else?' Abdurrahman replied, 'No.' Hajjaj said, 'By Allah, the One who there is no deity except Him, the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, what do you have with you other than these two bags?' Abdurrahman said, 'I swear by my Lord, I did not lie to the Prince.' Haji also used his right hand, which he would swear by, and said, 'By Allah.' Abdurrahman also swore, 'By my Lord,' and said, 'So then, just as I said to the Prince, I don't have anything other than these two bags.' Hajjaj said, 'This is unacceptable from you, take him to prison.' So, Abdurrahman was imprisoned, and in the prison, there were monks from the people of Sham. Abdurrahman saw something he had never seen before. If he was standing to pray, he would pray, and if he was not praying, he would stand alone, glorify Allah, and mention Allah. The Shamite saw something unfamiliar to him, so if he was a well person, what would he say to his Lord when he meets Him? He had a righteous man in this prison, and he didn't know if he was oppressed, so he sent a message to Abdurrahman and said, 'Indeed, Hajjaj is a person whom you know, and I am taking the risk for you to set a time with me. If Allah has saved me from my illness, then you can return to your imprisonment until Allah brings relief to you. And if I die, then you have saved yourself. I don't want you to swear for me.' Abdurrahman said to him, 'You have that.' So, he disguised himself and dressed in women's clothing between two women. While he was walking, a man riding his donkey approached him. When he reached him, he greeted him and said, 'Peace be upon you.' Then he got off and said to him, 'Ride, may Allah have mercy on you.' One of the two women answered him, 'We are women, we need it. Ride your beast, may Allah have mercy on you.' He said, 'There is no deity except Allah, I don't have any intention towards you.' She said, 'When Abdurrahman thought that he had understood, he said, 'Let's ride,' and he left for his home. The Shamite, the owner of the prison, died. We witnessed it around the donkey and we didn't find anyone who recognized it."

"عَنِ المسور بن مخرمة قال: خرجنا حُجاجًا مع عمر بن الخطاب فنزلنا منزلًا بطريق مكة يقال له: الأبواء، فإذا نحن بشيخ على قارعة الطريق فقال الشيخ: يأيها الركب قفوا فقال عمر: قفوا؛ فوقفنا، فقال [عمر: قل يا شيخ! قال: ] أفيكم رسول اللَّه ﷺ ؟ فقال عمر: أمسكوا لا يتكلمَّن أحد. ثم قال: أتعقل يا شيخ؟ قال: العقل ساقنى إلى ههنا، ثم قال: توفى النبى ﷺ . قال: وقد تُوفى ﷺ ؟ قال: نعم، فبكى حتى ظننا أن نفسه ستخرج من جنبيه، ثم قال: فمن ولى أمر الأمة من بعده؟ قال: أبو بكر، قال: نحيف بنى تميم؟ قال: نعم، قال: أفيكم هو؟ قال لا، قال: وقد تُوفى؟ قال: نعم، فبكى حتى سمعنا لبكائه شحيجا، ثم قال: فمن ولى أمر الأمة بعده؟ قال: عمر بن الخطاب، قال: فأين كانوا عن أبيضَ بنى أميةَ؟ -يريد عثمانَ بنَ عفان-

فإنه كان أَلْيَنَ جانبا وأقربَ؟ قال: قد كان ذاك، قال: إن كانت صداقة عمر لأبى بكر لمسلمة إلى خير أفيكم هو؟ قال: هو الذى يكلمك منذ اليوم، قال: أغثنى؛ فإنى لم أجد مغيثًا، قال: ومن أنت؟ بلغك الغوث، قال: أنا أبو عقيل أحد بنى مليل لقيت رسول اللَّه ﷺ على ردهة بنى جعل، دعانِى إلى الإسلام فآمنت به وصدقت بما جاء به، سقانِى شربة من سويق، شرب رسول اللَّه ﷺ أولها وشربت آخرها، فما برحت أجد شبعها إذا جعت، ورِيِّها إذا عطشت، وبردها إذا أصبحت، ثم تَيَمَّمْتُ رأس الأبيض أنا وقطعة غنم لِى، أصلى في يومى وليلتى خمس صلوات، وأصوم شهرًا وهو رمضان، وأذبح شاة لعشر ذى الحجة، أنسك بها، ذاك علمى حتى ألفت بها السنة فما أبقت لنا منها إلا شاة واحدة، كنا ننتفع بدرها فَغَبَنَهَا الذيب البارحة الأولى، فأدركنا ذكاتها، فأكلنا وبلغناك ببعض فأغث أغاثك اللَّه، فقال عمر: الغوث بلغك، الغوث. الغوث، أدركنى على الماء، قال المسور ابن مخرمة: فنزلنا المنزل، وأفضنا من فضل زادنا وكأنى أنظر إلى عمر مُتْعَبًا على قارعة الطريق، آخذًا بزمام ناقته لُمْ يطعم طعاما، ننتظر الشيخ وَنَرْمُقهُ، فلما رحل الناس دعا عمر صاحب الماء، فوصف له الشيخ وجلاه له وقال: إذا أتى عليك فأنفق عنيه وعلى آله حتى أعود إليك إن شاء اللَّه، قال المسور: فقضينا حجنا وانصرفنا، فلما نزلنا المنزل، دعا عمر صاحب الماء فقال: أحَسَسْتَ الشيخ؟ قال: نعم يا أمير المؤمنين، الماء لِى وهو مُوعَكٌ، فمرض عندى ثلاثا، فمات ودفنته، وهذا قبره، فَكَأَنِّى أنظر إلى عمر وقد وثب مباعدا بين خطاه حتى وقف على القبر فصلى عليه، ثم اضطجع وبكى حتى سمعنا لبكائه شَحِيجًا، ثم قال: كره اللَّه له منَّتَكمُ وسبق به، واختار له ما عنده إن شاء اللَّه، ثم أمر بأهله فحملوا معه، فلم يزل ينفق عليهم حتى قبض".  

"عن الشعبى أن الزّبِرقَان بن بدر أتى عمر بن الخطاب وكان سيد قومه، فقال يا أمير المؤمنين: إِنَّ جَرْوَلًا هجانى يوم الحُطيئة، فقال عمر: بم هجاك؟ فقال له:

دع المكارِمَ لا تَرحَلْ لبُغيتها ... واقعدْ فإنك أنتَ الطاعِمُ الكاسى

فقال عمر: ما أسمعُ هجاءً إنما هى معاتَبة، فقال الزبرقان: يا أمير المؤمنين والذى نفسى بيده ما هُجى أحدٌ بمثلِ ما هجيتُ به، فخذ لى ممن هجانى، فقال عمر: علىَّ بابن الفُريعة، يعنى حسانَ بن ثابتٍ، فلما أُتى به قال له: يا حسانُ: إِنَّ الزبرقانَ يزعُم أن جرولًا هجاه، فقال حسان: بم؟ قال بقوله:

دعِ المكارِمَ لا تَرحَلْ لبُغيتها ... واقعدْ فإنك أنتَ الطاعِمُ الكاسى

فقال حسان: ما هجاه يا أميرَ المؤمنين، قال: فماذا صنع به؟ قال: سَلحَ عليه، فقال عمر: علىَّ بجرولٍ، فلما جِئَ به قال له: يا عدُوَّ نفسه تَهجو المسلمين؟ ! فأمر به فسجنَ، فكتب إلى عمر من السجن: يا أمير المؤمنين:

ما تقولُ لأفراخٍ بذى مرخ ... حمر الحواصل لا ماءٌ ولا شجر

ألقيت كاسبَهم في قعرِ مظلمةٍ ... فامنُنْ عَلَىَّ هداكَ اللَّه يا عمرُ

أنت الإمامُ الذى من بعد صاحبه ... ألْقَتْ إليكَ مقاليد النهى البشر

ما آثروكَ بها أو قدَّموك لها ... لكن لأنفسهِم كانت بك الأثر

قال: وأُخبر عمرُ برقَّة حاله وقلة نصر قومه له، فدعاه فقال له: ويحك يا جرولُ لِمَ تَهجُو المسلمين؟ قال: لخصالٍ احتوتنى، إحداهن: إنما هى نملةٌ تدبُّ على لسانى،

وأخرى إنما هى كسبُ عيالى بَعْدُ، وثَالِثَة أن الزبرقان ذو يسار في قومٍ، وقد عرف رِقَّةَ حَالِى، وكثرة عيالى فلم يَعطف علىَّ، وأحوجنى إلى المسألة، فلما سألتُه حرمنِى يا أمير المؤمنين، والسؤالُ ثمن لكل نوالٍ، وكنتُ أراه يتمرَّغُ في مالِ اللَّه ورسوله، وأنا أتشحَّطُ في الفقرِ والعيلة، وكنتُ أراه يَتَجَشَّى جشاءَ البعير، وأنا أتفقزُ فُتَاتَ الخبز الشعير في رحلى مع عيالى، ويا أمير المؤمنين من عجزَ عن القوت كان أعجز منه عن السكوت، فدمعتْ عينا عمرَ، وقال: كم رأسٌ لَكَ من العيالِ؟ فعدهم عليه، فأمر لهم بطعامٍ وكسوةٍ ونفقة ما يكفيه سنة، وقال له: إِذا احتجت فعد إلينا فَلَكَ عندنا مثلُها، فقال جرولٌ: جزاك اللَّه يا أمير المؤمنين جزاء الأبرار، وأجر الأخيار، فقد بررتَ ووصلتَ وتعطَّفت وامتننت، فلمَّا مضى جرول قال عمر: أيها الناس اتقوا اللَّه في ذوى الأرحام وجيرانكم فمتى علمتم حاجتهم فواسوهم وتعطفوا عليهم، ولا تحوجوهم إلى المسألة فإن اللَّه ﷻ يسأل العبد إذا كان غنيا مكفيًا عن رحمهِ وقريبه وجارهِ إذا كان محتاجا، أن يعطيه قبل سؤاله إياه".  

"عن أَبى رَافِعٍ قَالَ: كَانَ أَبُو لُؤْلُؤَةَ عَبْدًا لِلْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، وَكَانَ يَصْنَعُ الرَّحى، وَكَانَ المغِيرَةُ يَسْتَغلُّهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ أَرْبَعَةَ دَرَاهِمَ، فَلَقِى أَبوُ لُؤلُؤَةَ عُمَرَ، فَقَال يَا أَمِيرَ المؤْمِنِينَ! إِنَّ المغيرَةَ قَد أَثْقَلَ عَلَىَّ غَلَّتِى فَكَلِّمْهُ يُخَفِّفْ عَنِّى، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: اتَّقِ اللَّه وَأَحْسِنْ إِلَى مْوْلَاكَ، وَمِنْ نيَّةِ عُمَرَ أَنْ يَلْقَى الْمُغِيرَةَ فُيُكَلِّمَهُ فَيُخَفِّفَ عَنْهُ، فَغَضِبَ الْعَبْدُ وَقَال: وَسعَ النَّاسَ كُلَّهُم عَدْلُهُ غَيْرِى، فَأَضْمَرَ عَلَى قَتْلِه، فَاصْطَنَعَ خِنْجَرًا له رَأْسَانِ وَشَحَذَهُ وَسَمَّهُ ثُمَّ أتَى بِه الهُرْمُزَانَ فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ تَرَى هَذَا؟ قَالَ: أَرَى أَنَّك أن لَا تَضْرِبَ بِهِ أَحَدًا إِلَّا قَتَلتَهُ، فَتَحَيَّنَ أَبُو لُؤلُؤَةَ، فَجَاءَ فِى صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ حَتَّى قَامَ وَرَاءَ عُمَرَ وَكَانَ عُمَرُ إِذَا أُقِيمَت الصَّلَاةُ يَتَكَلَّمُ فَيَقُولُ: أَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ، فَذَهَبَ يَقُولُ كَمَا كَانَ يَقُولُ، فَلَمَّا كَبَّرَ وَجَأهُ أَبُو لُؤْلُؤَةَ، وَجْأةً في كَتِفِهِ، ووَجَأهُ فِى خَاصِرَتِهِ، فَسَقَطَ عُمَرُ، وَطَعَنَ بِخِنْجَرِهِ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَر رَجُلًا فَهَلَكَ مِنْهُمْ سَبْعَةٌ وَفَرَّقَ منْهُمْ سِتَّةً، وَحُمِلَ عُمَرُ فَذُهِبِ بِه إِلَى مَنْزِلِه وَهَاجَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى كَادَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ، فَنَادى عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بنُ عَوْفٍ: يَا أيُّهَا النَّاسُ! الصَّلَاةَ الصَّلَاةَ! فَفَزِعُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَتَقَدَّمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بنُ عَوْفٍ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ بِأَقْصَرِ سُورَتَيْنِ فِى الْقُرْآنِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ، تَوَجَّهُوا إِلَى عُمَرَ، فَدَعَا بِشَرَابٍ لِيَنْظُرَ مَا قَدْرُ جُرْحِه فَأُتِى بِنَبِيذٍ فَشَرِبَهُ فَخَرجَ مِنْ جُرْحِهِ فَلَمْ يُدْرَ أَنَبِيذٌ هُوَ أَوْ دَمٌ فَدُعِى بلَبَنٍ فَشِرَبَهُ فَخَرجَ مِنْ جُرْحِه، فَقَالُوَا: لَا بَأسَ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمؤْمِنِينَ! فَقالَ: إِنْ يَكُن الْقَتْلُ بَأسًا فَقَدْ قُتِلتُ، فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يُثْنُونَ عَلَيْهِ يَقُولُونَ: جَزَاكَ اللَّه خَيرًا يَا أميرَ الْمُؤْمنِينَ! كُنْتَ وَكُنْتَ! ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُونَ وَيَجِئُ قَوْمٌ آخَرُونَ فَيثنُونَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: أَمَا واللَّه عَلى، ما تَقُولُونَ، وَدِدْتُ

"عن عبد اللَّه بن عامرِ بن ربيعةَ (أن عمر) (*) استعمَل قدامةَ بن مظعونِ على البحرينِ -وهو خالُ حفصةَ وعبد اللَّه بن عمر- فقدمَ الجارودُ سَيِّدُ عبد القيسِ على عمرَ، فقال: يا أمير المؤمنينَ: إن قُدامَة شَرِبَ فَسَكِرَ، وإنِّى إِذَا رأَيتُ حدًا من حدودِ اللَّه (كان) حقًا عَلىَّ أَنْ أَرْفَعَهُ إليكَ، فقالَ عمرُ: من يشهدُ مَعَكُمْ؟ قالَ: أَبُو هريرةَ: فدعَا أبَا هريرةَ، فقامَ ثم شَهِدَ، قالَ: لم أرَهُ يشربُ ولكنَّى رأيتُهُ سكرانَ يَقئُ، فقال عمرُ: لقد تنطَّعْتَ فِى الشهادةِ، ثم كتبَ إلى قُدامةَ أن يَقْدم عليه من البحرينِ، فَقَدمَ، فقامَ (إليه) الجارودُ فقالَ: أقمْ عَلَى هَذَا كِتَابَ اللَّه، فقال عمرُ: أخَصْمٌ أنتَ أمْ شَهِيدٌ؟ قالَ: بَلْ شَهيدٌ، فقالَ: (قد) أَدَّيْتَ الشَّهَادَةَ؟ فصمتَ الجارودُ حتَّى غدا إِلى عمرَ فقالَ: أَقِمْ على هَذَا حدَّ اللَّه، فقالَ عمرُ: ما أراكَ إِلَّا خصْمًا، وما شَهدَ معكَ إلا رجلٌ، فقالَ الجارودُ: أَنْشُدُك اللَّه فقالَ: لَتُمْسِكَنَّ لِسَانَكَ أو لأَسُوأنَّكَ، فقالَ أبو هريرةَ: إن كنتَ تشكُّ في شهادَتِنَا فأَرْسِلْ إلى ابنة الوليدِ فَسَلْهَا -وهى امرأةُ قدامَةَ- فأرسلَ عمرُ إلى هند بنت

"عَنْ زكريا بن يحيى الوراق قال: قرئ على عبد اللَّه بن وهب وأنا أسمعُ: قال الثورى: قال مجالد: قال أبو الوداك: قال أبو سعيد: قال عمرُ بن الخطاب: قال رسولُ اللَّه ﷺ : قال أخى موسى -عليه السلام-: يا رب! أرنى الذى كنت أَريتنى في السفينة، فَأَوْحَى اللَّه إليه: يا موسى! إنك ستراهُ فلم يلبث إلا يسيرًا، حتى أتاه الخضرُ، وهو فتى طيب الريح وحسن ثياب البياض، فقال: السلام عليك ورحمة اللَّه يا موسى بن عمران! إن ربك يقرئك السلام ورحمة اللَّه، قال موسى: هو السلام، ومنه السلام وإليه السلام، والحمد للَّه رب العالمين الذى لا أُحصى نعمه، ولا أقدر على أداء شكره إلا بمعونته، ثم قال موسى: أريد أن توصينى بوصية ينفعنى اللَّه بها بعدك، قال الخضر: يا طالب العلم! إن القائل أَقلُّ ملالة من المستمع، فلا تُملَّ جلساءك إذا حدثتهم، واعلم أن قلبك وعاءٌ فانظر ماذا تحشو به وعاءَكَ، واعزف عن الدنيا وانبذْها ورَاءكَ؛ فإنها ليست لك بدارٍ ولا لك فيها محلُّ قرار وإنما جعلت بُلْغةً للعباد، ليتزَوَّدُوا منها للمعاد، ويا موسى: وطِّنْ نفسك على الصبر؛ تلق الحلم؛ (تخلص مِنَ الإِثْمِ) وأشعر قلبك التقوى؛ تنل العلم، وَرُض نفسكَ على الصبر، يا موسى: تفرغ للعلم إن كنت تريده؛ فإنما العلم لمن تَفرغ له، ولا تكوننَّ مكثارًا بالمنطق مهزارًا، فإن كثرة المنطق تشينُ العلماء، وتُبْدى مساوئ السُّخفاء، ولكن عليك بالاقتصاد فإن ذلك من التوفيق والسداد، وأعرض عن الجهال وباطلهم، واحلم عن السفهاء، فإن ذلك فعلُ الحكماء وزين العلماء: إذا شتمك

الجاهل فاسكت عنه حِلمًا، وحنانة حزمًا فإن ما بقى من جهله عليكَ وشتمه إياك أعظم وأكبر، يا ابن عمران! لا ترى أنك أوتيت من العلم إلا قليلًا، فإن الاندلاث والتعسف من الاقتحام والتكلف، يا ابن عمران! (لا تفتحن بابًا لا تدرى ما غلقه، ولا تغلقن بابًا لا تدرى ما فتحه)! يا ابن عمران! من لا ينتهى من الدنيا نهمته، ولا ينقضى منها رغبته، كيف يكون عابدًا! ومن يحقر حاله ويتهم اللَّه فيما قضى كيف يكون زاهدا؟ هل يكف عن الشهوات من غلب عليه هواه! أو ينفعه طلب العلم والجهل قد حواه! لأن سفره إلى آخرته وهو مقبل على دنياه، ويا موسى! تعلم ما تعلمت؛ لتعمل به، ولا تعلمه لتحدث به، فيكون عليك بوره ويكون لغيرك نوْره، ويا ابن عمران! اجعل الزهد والتقوى لباسك، والعلم والذكر كلامك، وأكثر من الحسنات، فإنك مصيب السيئات وزعزع بالخوف قلبك، فإن ذلك مُرضٍ ربك، واعمل خيرًا فإنك لا بد عامل سوء، قد وعظت إن حفظت، فتولى الخضر وبقى موسى حزينًا مكروبًا يبكى".  

"عن يحيى بن يعمر قال: كان أول من قَالَ في القدرِ بالبصرة معْبَدٌ الجهني، فانطلقت أنا وحميدُ بن عبد الرحمن الحميري، حاجَّين أو مُعتَمريْن، فقلنا: لو لقينا أحدًا من أصحابِ رسول الله ﷺ فَسأَلنَاه عما يقولُ هذا في القدرِ؟ فوُفِّق لنا عبدُ الله بن عمر بن الخطاب داخلَ المسجد، فاكتنفتُه أنا وصاحِبِي أحدُنا عن يمينهِ، والآخر عن شِماله، فظننت أن صاحبي سَيَكِلُ الكلامَ إليَّ، فقلت: أبا عبد الرحمنِ: إنه قد ظهر قبلنا

ناسٌ يَقْرَأُون القرآن ويَتَفَسَّرون العلم، وذكر من شأنِهم يزعمون أن لَا قَدَرَ وأَنَّ الأَمْرَ أنُفٌ، فقال: إذا لقيتَ أولئك فأخبرهم أني بريء منهم وأنهم برآء مِنِّي، والذي يحلفُ به عبدُ الله بن عمر، لو أن لأحدهِم مثل أحدٍ ذهبا فأنفقه ما قبلَ الله منه حتى يؤمِن بالقدرِ، ثم قال: حدثني أبِي عمرُ بنُ الخطاب قال: بينما نحن عند رسول الله ﷺ ذات يومٍ إذ طلع علينا رجلٌ شديد بياضِ الثياب، شديدُ سواد الشعر، لا يرى عليه أثَرُ السَّفر، ولا يعرفُه أحد، حتى جلَسَ إلى النبي ﷺ فأسندَ ركبتيه إلي ركبتيه، ووضع كفيه على فَخِذيه وقال: يا محمد: أخبرني عن الإسلام؟ فقال رسول الله ﷺ : الإسلام أن تشهد أن لا إله إلا الله، وأن محمدا رسول الله، وتقيم الصلاة، وتؤتى الزكاة، وتصوم رمضان، وتحج البيت إن استطعت إليه سبيلا، قال: صدقت، فعجبنا له يسأله ويصدقه! قال: فأخبرني عن الإيمان؟ قال: أن تؤمِن بالله، وملائكته، وكتبه، ورسله، واليوم الآخر، وتؤمِنَ بالقدر خيره وشره، قال: صدقت، قال: فأخبرني عن الإِحسانِ؟ قال: أن تعبد الله كأنكَ تَراه، فإن لم تكن تراه فإنه يراكَ، قال: فأخبرني عن الساعة؟ قال: ما المسئولُ عنها بأعلم من السائل، قال: فأخبرني عن أَمَارَتها؟ قال: أن تلد الأمة ربتها، وأن تَرى الحفاة العراة العالة رِعاءَ الشاءِ يتطاولون في البنيان، ثم انطلق، فلبثت مَلِيًا، ثم قال يا عمر: أتدري من السائل؟ قلت: الله ورسوله أعلم، قال: فإنه جبريل أتاكم يعلمكم دينكم".

حم، م، د، ت، ن، هـ وابن خزيمة، وأبو عوانة، حب، ق في الدلائل، وفي رواية ابن خزيمة، حب: وأن تقيم الصلاة، وتؤتي الزكاة، وتحج البيت وتعتمر، وتغتسل عن الجنابة، وأن تتم الوضوء، وتصوم رمضان، وفي رواية حب: ولكن إن شئت نبأتك عن أشراطها إذا رأيت العالة الحفاة العراة يتطاولون في البناء وكانوا ملوكًا، قيل: ما العالة الحفاة العراة؟ قال: الغريب؛ وإذا رأيت الأمة تلدُ ربتها، فذلك من أشراط الساعة، ولفظ ت: فلقيني النبي ﷺ بعد ذلك بثلاث، فقال: يا عمر: تدري من السائل؟ ذاك جبريل أتاكم يعلمكم دينكم، ولفظ ق: وولدت الإماء أربابهن، ثم قال: عَلَيَّ بالرجل  

" (عَنْ عمَرَ) قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ قُعُودٌ مَعَ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ عَلَى جَبَلٍ مِنْ جِبَالِ تِهَامَةَ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ شَيْخٌ بيدِهِ عَصًا فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ، ثُم قَالَ: نَغَمَةُ جِنِّ وعمهم، مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ: أَنَا هامةُ بْنُ هَيْمِ بْنِ لَاقِيسَ بْنِ إبْليس قَالَ رسُول الله
