[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to sit with a group of his companions, among whom was a man with a young son. The son would come and sit next to the Prophet from behind him until the boy passed away. The man refrained from attending the gathering to remember Allah and would grieve over his son's death, so the Prophet asked, "Why don't I see so-and-so?" They replied, "O Messenger of Allah, his son whom you saw has passed away, and that is why he refrained from coming to the gathering." The Prophet met the man and asked him about his son. After being informed that the boy had passed away, the Prophet consoled him. Then he asked the man, "Which would you prefer: to enjoy his company in your lifetime or for you to enter through one of the gates of Paradise tomorrow and find him waiting for you, opening it for you?" The man replied, "O Prophet of Allah, instead, let him precede me to the gates of Paradise and open them for me. That would be more beloved to me." The Prophet said, "So be it." Then a man from the Ansar (the people of Madinah who supported the Prophet after his migration from Makkah) stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, may Allah make me your ransom, is this privilege only for him specifically, or is it for those who have lost their children among the Muslims?" The Prophet replied, "Rather, it is for every Muslim who loses a child."  

كَانَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا جَلَسَ جَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَفِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ لَهُ ابْنٌ صَغِيرٌ يَأْتِيَهِ مِنْ خَلْفِ ظَهْرِهِ يَقْعُدُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى أَنْ هَلَكَ الصَّبِيُّ فَامْتَنَعَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَحْضُرَ الْحَلْقَةَ يَذْكُرُ اللهَ وَيَحْزَنُ عَلَيْهِ فَفَقَدَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا لِي لَا أَرَى فُلَانًا؟» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بُنَيُّهُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتَ هَلَكَ فَمَنَعَهُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ حُضُورِ الْحَلْقَةِ فَلَقِيَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْهُ فَأُخْبِرَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ هَلَكَ فَعَزَّاهُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا فُلَانُ أَيُّهُمَا كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَتَمَتَّعَ بِهِ عُمُرَكَ أَوْ لَا تَأْتِي غَدًا بَابًا مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا وَجَدْتَهُ قَدْ سَبَقَكَ إِلَيْهِ يَفْتَحُ لَكَ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ بَلْ يَسْبِقُنِي إِلَى أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَفْتَحُهَا لِي أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ قَالَ «فَذَلِكَ لَكَ» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ جَعَلَنِي اللهُ فِدَاكَ هَذَا لِفُلَانٍ خَاصَّةً أَوْ لِمَنْ هَلَكَ لَهُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَرَطٌ كَانَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ؟ قَالَ «بَلْ كُلُّ مَنْ هَلَكَ لَهُ فَرَطٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] I went to convert to Islam when the Prophet ﷺ was sent. I wanted to bring with me two or three men into Islam, so I came to the water where people gathered. There I found a shepherd who was herding their sheep. I said to him, "I will not herd your sheep for you." They asked him, "Why?" He said, "A wolf comes every night and takes the sheep, and our idol stands there, neither harming, benefiting, changing, nor negating." So they returned, and I hoped they would convert. When we woke up in the morning, the shepherd came, alarmed, saying, "Good news, good news, the wolf has come!" He was in front of the idol, crouching. I went with them, and they kissed him and prostrated to him, saying, "Do the same." I entered upon the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of this incident, and he said, "Satan played with them."  

ذَهَبْتُ لِأُسْلِمَ حِينَ بُعِثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُدْخِلَ مَعِيَ رَجُلَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فَأَتَيْتُ الْمَاءَ حَيْثُ مُجَمِّعِ النَّاسِ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَاعِي الْقَرْيَةِ الَّذِي يَرْعَى أَغْنَامَهُمْ فَقَالَ لَا أَرْعَى لَكُمْ أَغْنَامَكُمْ قَالُوا لِمَ؟ قَالَ يَجِيءُ الذِّئْبُ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ فَيَأْخُذُ الشَّاةَ وَصَنَمُنَا هَذَا قَائِمٌ لَا يَضُرُّ وَلَا يَنْفَعُ وَلَا يُغَيِّرُ وَلَا يُنْكِرُ فَرَجَعُوا وَأَنَا أَرْجُو أَنْ يُسْلِمُوا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا جَاءَ الرَّاعِي يَشْتَدُّ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ جَاءَ الْبُشْرَى جَاءَ الْبُشْرَى جَاءَ الذِّئْبُ فَهُوَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الصَّنَمِ مَقْمُوطًا فَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُمْ فَقَبَّلُوهُ وَسَجَدُوا لَهُ وَقَالُوا هَكَذَا فَاصْنَعْ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَ «عَبَثَ بِهِمُ الشَّيْطَانُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The earth will be filled with oppression and injustice, just as it will be filled with fairness and justice, until Allah sends a man from among me whose name is like my name and his father's name is like my father's name. He will fill the earth with fairness and justice, just as it was filled with oppression and injustice. He will stay amongst you for seven or eight years, and if he is longer, it will be nine years, and neither the sky nor the earth will withhold a drop of their rain or a vegetation from their plants."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَتُمْلَأَنَّ الْأَرْضُ ظُلْمًا وَجَوْرًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ قِسْطًا وَعَدْلًا حَتَّى يَبْعَثَ اللهُ رَجُلًا مِنِّي اسْمُهُ اسْمِي وَاسْمُ أَبِيهِ اسْمُ أَبِي فَيَمْلَأَهَا قِسْطًا وَعَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ ظُلْمًا وَجَوْرًا يَلْبَثُ فِيكُمْ سَبْعًا أَوْ ثَمَانِيًا فَإِنْ كَثُرَ فَتِسْعًا لَا تَمْنَعُ السَّمَاءُ شَيْئًا مِنْ قَطْرِهَا وَلَا الْأَرْضُ شَيْئًا مِنْ نَبَاتِهَا»  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , he said, "Whoever encounters death and puts his will in the Book of Allah, it will serve as expiation for what he has missed in paying his zakat during his lifetime."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مِنْ حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ فَوَضَعَ وَصِيَّتَهُ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللهِ كَانَ ذَلِكَ كَفَّارَةً لِمَا ضَيَّعَ مِنْ زَكَاتِهِ فِي حَيَاتِهِ»  

[Machine] I heard Abdul Malik bin Marwan say to Kabath bin Ashyam al-Laythi, "O Kabath, are you older or is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He replied, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ is older than me, and I am younger than him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was born in the year of the Elephant and he foretold the events of the forty elephants."  

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ يَقُولُ لِقَبَاثِ بْنِ أَشْيَمَ اللَّيْثِيِّ يَا قَبَاثُ أَنْتَ أَكْبَرُ أَمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ «رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَكْبَرُ مِنِّي وَأَنَا أَسَنُّ مِنْهُ وُلِدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَامَ الْفِيلِ وَتَنَبَّأَ عَلَى رَأْسِ أَرْبَعِينَ مِنَ الْفِيلِ»  

[Machine] "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivering a sermon on the evening of Arafah, and he was wearing a black garment."  

«رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ» يَخْطُبُ عَشِيَّةَ عَرَفَةَ وَعَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ حِبَرَةٌ  

[Machine] I entered a throne in the city and there was Qaradah bin Ka'b and Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari with me. They mentioned a hadith they said, "Indeed, we have been given permission to cry during times of calamity without wailing."  

دَخَلْتُ عَرْشًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَفِيهِ قَرَظَةُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ وَأَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثًا لَهُمَا قَالَا فِيهِ «وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ رُخِّصَ لَنَا فِي الْبُكَاءِ عِنْدَ الْمُصِيبَةِ فِي غَيْرِ نَوْحٍ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ asked him a question, so he said, "If Ali fights an enemy, I command him to fight." He said, "What about us?" He said, "If he kills you, then you are in Paradise, and if you kill him, then he is in Hell."  

النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَأَلَهُ سَائِلٌ فَقَالَ إِنْ عَدَا عَلِيَّ عَادٍ فَأَمَرَهُ بِقِتَالِهِ قَالَ فَكَيْفَ بِنَا؟ قَالَ «فَإِنْ قَتَلَكَ فَأَنْتَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنْ قَتَلْتَهُ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ»  

[Machine] I went with my father to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and we found him unbuttoning his clothes. He turned me around from behind and placed his hand on the ring.  

انْطَلَقْتُ مَعَ أَبِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ مَحْلُولَ الْأَزْرَارِ فَأَدَارَنِي مِنْ خَلْفِهِ فَوَقَّعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى الْخَاتَمِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever eats from these two trees, should not come close to our mosque. But if you have to eat them, then cook them before."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَكَلَ مِنْ هَاتَيْنِ الشَّجَرَتَيْنِ فَلَا يَقْرَبْنَا فِي مَسْجِدِنَا فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا بُدَّ آكِلِيهَا فَأَمِسُّوهُمَا طَبْخًا»  

[Machine] "He came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'We used to have male and female deities whom we worshiped besides Allah, but we abandoned them and they did not respond or give us anything. So we came to you and Allah guided us through you, and now we worship Allah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Successful is the one who is granted understanding.'"  

أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَنَا أَرْبَابٌ وَرَبَّاتٌ نَعْبُدُهُنَّ مِنْ دُونِ اللهِ فَدَعَوْنَاهُنَّ فَلَمْ يُجِبْنَ وَسَأَلْنَاهُنَّ فَلَمْ يُعْطِينَ فَجِئْنَاكَ فَهَدَانَا اللهُ بِكَ فَنَحْنُ نَعْبُدُ اللهَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَفْلَحَ مَنْ رُزِقَ لُبًّا»  

[Machine] He came to the Prophet (PBUH) and said, "We used to have male and female deities whom we worshiped besides Allah, but when we called upon them, they did not answer us, and when we asked them for something, they did not give it to us. So we came to you and Allah guided us through you, and now we worship Allah." The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Blessed is the one who is granted understanding."  

أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَنَا أَرْبَابٌ وَرَبَّاتٌ نَعْبُدُهُنَّ مِنْ دُونِ اللهِ فَدَعَوْنَاهُنَّ فَلَمْ يُجِبْنَ وَسَأَلْنَاهُنَّ فَلَمْ يُعْطِينَ فَجِئْنَاكَ فَهَدَانَا اللهُ بِكَ فَنَحْنُ نَعْبُدُ اللهَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَفْلَحَ مَنْ رُزِقَ لُبًّا»  

[Machine] An elder sat with us in Ayyub's shop, wearing a woolen cloak. He overheard people talking, so he said, "Tell me, my master, about the Messenger of Allah." I said, "Name him for me." He said, "Qurrah ibn Da'mus al-Numayri." He said, "I came to the city, so I went to the Messenger of Allah with people. I wanted to get close to him, but I couldn't. So I called out to him, 'O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for the young boy al-Numayri.' He said, 'May Allah forgive you.'"  

جَلَسَ إِلَيْنَا شَيْخٌ فِي دُكَّانِ أَيُّوبَ عَلَيْهِ جُبَّةُ صُوفٍ فَسَمِعَ قَوْمًا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَوْلَايَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَسَمِّهِ قَالَ قُرَّةُ بْنُ دَعْمُوصَ النُّمَيْرِيُّ قَالَ قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ النَّاسُ فَجَعَلْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَدْنُوَ مِنْهُ فَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ فَنَادَيْتُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِلْغُلَامِ النُّمَيْرِيِّ قَالَ «غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ»  

[Machine] A sheikh sat with us in the shop of Ayoub, may he be blessed with a woolen cloak. He heard some people talking and said to me, "My lord told me about the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ." I said, "Name him." He said, "Qurrah bin Damoosah Al-Numairi." He said, "I came to Al-Madinah and visited the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and there were people with him. I tried to get closer to him, but I couldn't. So, I called out to him, 'O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for the boy Al-Numairi.' He said, 'May Allah forgive you.'"  

جَلَسَ إِلَيْنَا شَيْخٌ فِي دُكَّانِ أَيُّوبَ عَلَيْهِ جُبَّةُ صُوفٍ فَسَمِعَ قَوْمًا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَوْلَايَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَسَمِّهِ قَالَ قُرَّةُ بْنُ دَعْمُوصَ النُّمَيْرِيُّ قَالَ قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ النَّاسُ فَجَعَلْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَدْنُوَ مِنْهُ فَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ فَنَادَيْتُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِلْغُلَامِ النُّمَيْرِيِّ قَالَ «غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ»  

[Machine] A man from his people and others from the Arabs came to him and they said, "Indeed, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Muttalib has emerged calling to a religion other than our religion." So Qabath stood up until he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When he entered upon him, the Messenger of Allah said to him, "Sit down, O Qabath." So Qabath inferred his intention and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "You are the one who said that if the women of Quraish appeared with their most precious belongings, they would have returned Muhammad and his companions." Qabath said, "By He who has sent you with the truth, my tongue did not move with it, nor did my lips murmur it, nor has anyone heard it from me. It was nothing but a whisper in my soul. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." He said, "And indeed, what you have brought is the truth."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ وَغَيْرِهِمْ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ أَتَوْهُ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَدْ خَرَجَ يَدْعُو إِلَى دَيْنٍ غَيْرِ دِينِنَا فَقَامَ قَبَاثٌ حَتَّى أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ لَهُ «اجْلِسْ يَا قَبَاثُ» فَأَوْهَمَ قَبَاثٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْتَ الْقَائِلُ لَوْ خَرَجَتْ نِسَاءُ قُرَيْشٍ بِأَكِمَّتِهَا رَدَّتْ مُحَمَّدًا وَأَصْحَابَهُ فَقَالَ قَبَاثٌ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا تَحَرَّكَ بِهِ لِسَانِي وَلَا تَرَمْرَمَتْ بِهِ شَفَتَايَ وَلَا سَمِعَهُ مِنِّي أَحَدٌ وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا شَيْءٌ هَجَسَ فِي نَفْسِي أَشْهَدُ أَلَّا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ قَالَ «وَإِنَّ مَا جِئْتَ بِهِ حَقٌّ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "The prayer of two individuals, one of them leading the other, is more virtuous in the sight of Allah than the prayer of four individuals following one another. And the prayer of four individuals, one of them leading the others, is more virtuous in the sight of Allah than the prayer of eight individuals following one another. And the prayer of eight individuals, one of them leading the others, is more virtuous in the sight of Allah than the prayer of one hundred individuals following one another."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «صَلَاةُ الرَّجُلَيْنِ يَؤُمُّ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ أَزْكَى عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ أَرْبَعَةٍ تَتْرَى وَصَلَاةُ أَرْبَعَةٍ يَؤُمُّهُمْ أَحَدُهُمْ أَزْكَى عِنْدُ اللهَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ ثَمَانِيَةٍ تَتْرَى وَصَلَاةُ ثَمَانِيَةٍ يَؤُمُّهُمْ أَحَدُهُمْ أَزْكَى عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ مِائَةٍ تَتْرَى»  

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ said, "The prayer of two men, where one of them leads the other, is more virtuous in the sight of Allah than the prayer of four men performed individually. And the prayer of four men, where one of them leads the others, is more virtuous in the sight of Allah than the prayer of eight men performed individually. And the prayer of eight men, where one of them leads the others, is more virtuous in the sight of Allah than the prayer of one hundred men performed individually." Ishaq ibn Rahawayh said, "Qabath (the narrator) has fully comprehended the words of the Prophet ﷺ ."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «صَلَاةُ الرَّجُلَيْنِ يَؤُمُّ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ أَزْكَى عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ أَرْبَعَةٍ تَتْرَى وَصَلَاةُ أَرْبَعَةٍ يَؤُمُّهُمْ أَحَدُهُمْ أَزْكَى عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ ثَمَانِيَةٍ تَتْرَى وَصَلَاةُ ثَمَانِيَةٍ يَؤُمُّهُمْ أَحَدُهُمْ أَزْكَى عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ مِائَةٍ تَتْرَى» قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ رَاهَوَيْهِ «قَدْ أَدْرَكَ قَبَاثٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ»  

[Machine] "Regarding the naming of those who witnessed the Battle of Badr with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the Quraysh and then from the Banu Jumah, Qudamah bin Maz'un."  

عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ «فِي تَسْمِيَةِ» مَنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ بَنِي جُمَحٍ قُدَامَةُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ  

[Machine] "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ throwing pebbles at the Jamrat al-Aqabah on a white she-camel, without hitting or driving her, saying 'Neither for you nor for you.'"  

«رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَرْمِي جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ صَهْبَاءَ لَا ضَرْبَ وَلَا طَرْدَ وَلَا إِلَيْكَ إِلَيْكَ»  

"I saw the Messenger of Allah stoning JamratualAqabah on the Day of Sacrifice on the reddish-brown camel of his, without beating anyone or driving them off." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3061)  

«رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَرْمِي جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ لَهُ صَهْبَاءَ وَلَا ضَرْبَ وَلَا طَرْدَ وَلَا إِلَيْكَ إِلَيْكَ»  

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ casting stones at the Jamarat from the middle of the valley.  

«رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَرْمِي الْجَمْرَةَ مِنْ بَطْنِ الْوَادِي»  

[Machine] "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ circumambulating the Kaaba on a camel and touching the corner with his staff. This is the wording of the Slave Ibn Musa."  

«رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ» يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ وَيَسْتَلِمُ الرُّكْنَ بِمِحْجَنِهِ «» وَهَذَا لَفْظُ عَبَّادِ بْنِ مُوسَى  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Wear multiple layers of clothing, be humble, and walk barefoot."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «تَمَعْدَدُوا وَاخْشَوْشِنُوا وَامْشُوا حُفَاةً»  

[Machine] It was said to Quthamah ibn al-Abbas, "How did Ali inherit the Messenger of Allah ﷺ instead of al-Abbas?" He replied, "Because he was the foremost among us in knowledge and the most intense among us in taste."  

قِيلَ لِقُثَمَ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ كَيْفَ وَرِثَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَلِيٌّ دُونَ الْعَبَّاسِ؟ قَالَ «لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ أَوَّلَنَا بِهِ لُحُوقًا وَأَشَدَّنَا بِهِ لُزُوقًا»  

[Machine] Qutham ibn al-Abbas was asked, "How did Ali inherit from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ before you?" He said, "Indeed, he was the first among us to grasp knowledge and the most severe of us in thirst for it."  

قِيلَ لِقُثَمَ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ كَيْفَ وَرِثَ عَلِيٌّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ دُونَكُمْ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّهُ كَانَ أَوَّلَنَا بِهِ لُحُوقًا وَأَشَدَّنَا بِهِ لُزُوقًا»  

[Machine] 'Urwah narrated regarding the naming of those who witnessed the Aqabah pledge from the Ansar and then from the Banu Salimah, one of them being Ka'b bin Malik bin Abi al-Qayn bin Ka'b bin Sowwad.'  

عَنْ عُرْوَةِ «فِي تَسْمِيَةِ» مَنْ شَهِدَ الْعَقَبَةَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ثُمَّ مِنْ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَبِي الْقَيْنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ سَوَّادٍ
