[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to a man that he is from the people of Hellfire. The people waited for the outcome until on the day of Hunayn, he fought and was killed. They informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it, and he said, "He is indeed from the people of Hellfire." The man was then wounded, took an arrow from his quiver, and killed himself. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, Allah's statement proved to be true." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Bilal, announce that no one will enter Paradise except a believer, and indeed Allah supports the religion with a sinful man."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ إِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَنْتَظِرُونَ أَمْرَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ حُنَيْنٍ قَاتَلَ فَأَبْلَى فَأَخْبَرُوا بِذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ» قَالَ فَجُرِحَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَخَذَ سَهْمًا مِنْ كِنَانَتِهِ فَنَحَرَ نَفْسَهُ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ صَدَقَ اللهُ حَدِيثَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «قُمْ يَا بِلَالُ فَنَادِ أَنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ وَأَنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَيُؤَيِّدُ الدِّينَ بِالرَّجُلِ الْفَاجِرِ»  

[Machine] Abu said that his father narrated to him that he mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ regarding his contemplation on His statement: "We are equal, whether we are patient or if we show fear, there is for us no escape." The Prophet ﷺ said, "The people of the Fire will say, 'Come let us be patient!' So they will be patient for five hundred years, but when they see that there is no benefit in it, they will say, 'Come let us show fear!' So they will show fear for five hundred years, but when they see that there is no benefit in it, they will say, 'We are equal, whether we are patient or if we show fear, there is for us no escape.'"  

عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيمَا أَحْسَبُ فِي قَوْلِهِ {سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْنَا أَجَزِعْنَا أَمْ صَبَرْنَا مَا لَنَا مِنْ مَحِيصٍ} قَالَ يَقُولُ أَهْلُ النَّارِ هَلُمُّوا فَلْنَصْبِرْ قَالَ فَصَبَرُوا خَمْسَ مِائَةِ عَامٍ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ذَلِكَ لَا يَنْفَعُهُمْ قَالُوا هَلُمُّوا فَلْنَجْزَعْ قَالَ فَيَبْكُونَ خَمْسَمِائَةِ عَامٍ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَنْفَعُهُمْ قَالُوا {سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْنَا أَجَزِعْنَا أَمْ صَبَرْنَا مَا لَنَا مِنْ مَحِيصٍ}  

[Machine] We left the city wanting the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Hajjaj from our people, who were polytheists, accompanied us, so he mentioned something similar to it.  

خَرَجْنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ نُرِيدُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَخَرَجَ مَعَنَا حَجَّاجُ قَوْمِنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ  

[Machine] It was reported that Abdullah ibn Abi Hadrad owed him some money and he demanded it until their voices raised. Then, the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , passed by them and said, "O Ka'ab!" He pointed with his hand as if he wanted half, so he took half of what was owed to him and left the other half.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي حَدْرَدَ مَالٌ فَاقْتَضَاهُ حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَتِ الْأَصْوَاتُ فَمَرَّ بِهِمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا كَعْبُ» وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ كَأَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ النِّصْفَ فَأَخَذَ نِصْفَ مَا عَلَيْهِ وَتَرَكَ نِصْفًا  

[Machine] "When the Prophet of Allah, ﷺ , would be pleased with something, his face would shine like the full moon."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَرَّهُ الْأَمْرُ اسْتَنَارَ وَجْهُهُ كَأَنَّهُ دَارَةُ قَمَرٍ»  

[Machine] A Jewish woman gave a praying sheep as a gift to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Khaybar. He asked her, "What is this?" She replied, "It's a gift, and I was cautious not to say it was a charity." He and his companions ate from it, then he said to them, "Stop!" He asked the woman, "Did you poison this sheep?" She asked, "Who told you?" He said, "This bone," pointing to its leg bone or holding it in his hand. She said, "Yes." He asked, "Why?" She replied, "I said to myself, if you are a liar, people will be at ease from you, and if you are a Prophet, it will not harm you." The Prophet ﷺ punished her by cutting off her hands and feet, and some accounts mention that she died.  

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً يَهُودِيَّةً أَهْدَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ شَاةً مَصْلِيَّةً بِخَيْبَرَ فَقَالَ لَهَا «مَا هَذِهِ؟» قَالَتْ هَدِيَّةٌ وَحَذِرَتْ أَنْ تَقُولَ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَأَكَلَ وَأَكَلَ أَصْحَابُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ «أَمْسِكُوا» ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ «هَلْ سَمَمْتِ هَذِهِ الشَّاةَ؟» قَالَتْ مَنْ أَخْبَرَكَ؟ قَالَ «هَذَاِ الْعَظْمُ» لِسَاقِهَا أَوْ هُوَ فِي يَدَهِ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ «لِمَ؟» قَالَتْ قُلْتُ إِنْ كُنْتَ كَاذِبًا أَنْ يَسْتَرِيحَ النَّاسُ مِنْكَ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ نَبِيًّا لَمْ يَضُرَّكَ فَاحْتَجَمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى الْكَاهِلِ وَأَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ فَاحْتَجِمُوا فَمَاتَ بَعْضُهُمْ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ «وَأَسْلَمَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ فَذَكَرُوا أَنَّهُ قَتَلَهَا»  

[Machine] The scholars of Asinna came to the Prophet ﷺ with a gift, so the Prophet ﷺ presented Islam to them. They refused to accept Islam, so the Prophet ﷺ said, "I do not accept gifts from polytheists."  

جَاءَ مُلَاعِبُ الْأَسِنَّةِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِهَدِيَّةٍ وَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْإِسْلَامَ فَأَبَى أَنْ يُسْلِمَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «فَإِنِّي لَا أَقْبَلُ هَدِيَّةَ مُشْرِكٍ»  

[Machine] The scholars of the Christians came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a gift and offered him Islam, but he refused to accept it. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I do not accept a gift from a polytheist."  

جَاءَ مُلَاعِبُ الْأَسِنَّةِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِهَدِيَّةٍ فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ الْإِسْلَامَ فَأَبَى أَنْ يُسْلِمَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «فَإِنِّي لَا أَقْبَلُ هَدِيَّةَ مُشْرِكٍ»  

[Machine] The messengers of the tribes of Asinah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a gift and offered Islam to him, but he refused to accept it. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I do not accept a gift from a polytheist."  

جَاءَ مُلَاعِبُ الْأَسِنَّةِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِهَدِيَّةٍ فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ الْإِسْلَامَ فَأَبَى أَنْ يُسْلِمَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «فَإِنِّي لَا أَقْبَلُ هَدِيَّةَ مُشْرِكٍ»  

[Machine] Amir ibn Malik ibn Ja'far, also known as Mula'ib al-Asinnah, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was a pagan. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ presented Islam to him and said, "I do not accept gifts from pagans."  

أَنَّ عَامِرَ بْنَ مَالِكِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الَّذِي يُدْعَى مُلَاعِبَ الْأَسِنَّةِ قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُشْرِكٌ فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْإِسْلَامَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَا أَقْبَلُ هَدِيَّةَ مُشْرِكٍ»  

[Machine] Amir ibn Malik ibn Ja'far, also known as Mula'ib al-Asinah, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as a polytheist. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered Islam to him and said, "I do not accept the gift of a polytheist."  

أَنَّ عَامِرَ بْنَ مَالِكِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الَّذِي يُدْعَى مُلَاعِبَ الْأَسِنَّةِ قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُشْرِكٌ فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْإِسْلَامَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَا أَقْبَلُ هَدِيَّةَ مُشْرِكٍ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Every important matter that is not started with praise is incomplete or uncertain."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «كُلُّ أَمَرٍ ذِي بَالٍ لَا يُبْدَأُ فِيهِ بِالْحَمْدِ أَقْطَعُ أَوْ أَجْزَمُ»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "People will be resurrected on the Day of Judgment, and I will be with my Ummah on a hill. My Lord will clothe me in a red garment, then I will be given permission to speak. I will say whatever Allah wills me to say, and that is the praiseworthy station."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يُبْعَثُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَأَكُونُ أَنَا وَأُمَّتِي عَلَى تَلٍّ وَيَكْسُونِي رَبِّي ﷻ حُلَّةً حَمْرَاءَ ثُمَّ يُؤْذَنُ لِي فَأَقُولُ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ أَقُولَ فَذَلِكَ الْمَقَامُ الْمَحْمُودُ»  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have settled in the vicinity of the Bani Fulan tribe and the most oppressive of them to me is the one who is closest to me as a neighbor. So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Abu Bakr, Umar, and Ali to come to the mosque and stand at its gate, and they yelled, 'Behold, forty houses are neighbors, and whoever fears his neighbor's harm, his good deeds will not enter Paradise.'"  

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي نَزَلَتُ فِي مَحِلَّةِ بَنِي فُلَانٍ وَإِنَّ أَشَدَّهُمْ لِي أَذًى أَقْدَمُهُمْ لِي جِوَارًا فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعَلِيًّا يَأْتُونَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَيَقُومُونَ عَلَى بَابِهِ فَيَصِيحُونَ أَلَا إِنَّ أَرْبَعِينَ دَارًا جَارٌ وَلَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ خَافَ جَارُهُ بَوَائِقَهُ  

[Machine] "He had a flock of sheep grazing in a valley. One sheep from the flock strayed away, so I slaughtered it. Ka'b asked the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , about it, and he did not see any problem with it."  

«أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ غَنَمٌ تَرْعَى بِسَلْعٍ فَتَرَدَّتْ شَاةٌ مِنْهَا فَنَزَلَتِ الْأَمَّةَ فَذَبَحْتُهَا فَسَأَلَ كَعْبٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَرَ بِهَا بَأْسًا»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited the group he sent to Ibn Abi al-Huqaiq from killing him for the killing of women and children."  

«نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ النَّفْرَ الَّذِينَ بَعَثَهُمْ إِلَى ابْنِ أَبِي الْحُقَيْقِ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ عَنْ قَتَلِ النِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited those who killed the son of Abu Al-Hakam when they went out to kill women and children."  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ» نَهَى الَّذِينَ قَتَلُوا ابْنَ أَبِي الْحُقَيْقِ حِينَ خَرَجُوا إِلَيْهِ عَنْ قَتَلِ النِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a pact with us not to kill children or women."  

«عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ لَا نَقْتُلَ صَبِيًّا وَلَا امْرَأَةً»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ made a covenant with us not to kill children or women.  

«عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ لَا نَقْتُلَ صَبِيًّا وَلَا امْرَأَةً»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ forbade the killing of women and children.  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ» نَهَى عَنْ قَتَلِ النِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ  

[Machine] He said to the Prophet (PBUH): "Indeed, Allah has revealed in poetry what He has not revealed in any other form." The Prophet (PBUH) replied, "Verily, the believer strives with his sword and tongue, and I swear by the One in whose hand is my soul, it is as if you are throwing pearls and gems at them."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ أِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ فِي الشَّعْرِ مَا أَنْزَلَ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُجَاهِدُ بِسَيْفِهِ وَلِسَانِهِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَكَأَنَّمَا تَرْمُونَ فِيهِمْ نَضْحَ النَّبْلِ»  

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think of poetry?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Indeed, the believer strives with his sword and his tongue, and by Him in whose hand is my soul, it is as if you sprinkle them with nobility."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَاذَا تَرَى فِي الشَّعْرَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُجَاهِدُ بِسَيْفِهِ وَلِسَانِهِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَكَأَنَّمَا تَنْضَحُونَهُمْ بِالنَّبْلِ»  

[Machine] The prophet of Allah ﷺ said, "By the one in whose hand is my soul, it is as if you are sprinkling them with nobility in what he says to them in poetry."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَكَأَنَّمَا تَنْضَحُونَهُمْ بِالنَّبْلِ فِيمَا يَقُولُ لَهُمُ مِنَ الشَّعْرِ»  

[Machine] That Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf, the Jewish poet, used to insult the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions and incite the polytheists of Quraysh against them in his poetry. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Medina, there were Muslims among them who were united by the call of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and among them were the polytheists who worshiped idols, as well as Jews and members of the Halqah and Hushun tribes who were allies of the Banu Aus and Khazraj. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to reconcile with them and establish good relations with them. There were men who were Muslims while their fathers were polytheists, and men who were Muslims while their brothers were polytheists. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Medina, the polytheists and Jews of the city would haraass the Prophet ﷺ and his companions the most. Allah commanded His Prophet ﷺ and the Muslims to bear patience and forgive them. In them, Allah the Most High revealed: "[There are] indeed many among them who harass the Prophet and say, 'He is a one who listens [to every word].' [But] the people of faith who were given the Scripture(s) before your time did the same; and the polytheists as well. If you were to yield to their desires, after the knowledge that has come to you, you would be a transgressor. And there are among the People of the Book those who would indeed wish to bring you back to infidelity after faith. [But] out of their selfish envy, even after the truth has become clear to them. So, forgive and overlook until Allah brings about His command. Indeed, Allah has power over all things." When Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf refused to stop his harm towards the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Muslims, the Prophet ﷺ ordered Sa'd bin Mu'adh, Muhammad bin Maslamah Al-Ansari, and Harith bin Aws bin Thabit Al-Ansari, as well as Abu 'Isa bin Habrah Al-Ansari and Harith bin Sa'd bin Mu'adh, to assassinate him. They went to him one evening in his assembly at Al-Awali and when Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf saw them, he sensed their intentions and asked them, "What brought you here?" They replied, "We came to discuss a matter with you." He said, "Then let one of you come closer to me and inform me about it." So, one of them approached him and said, "We came to negotiate selling you some armor, the proceeds of which we will use for charity." He said, "By Allah, if you do that, you would have exhausted yourselves. Since this man came to you, he has been challenging you to come to him for dinner when people have gone and it is a good opportunity. So, they went to him and one of them called out to him. When he stood up to go to them, his wife asked him, 'What are they asking of you at this time of the night? Is there something you desire from them?' He said, 'Yes, indeed they have told me something interesting.' Then, he went out to them. Muhammad bin Maslamah embraced him and said, 'Let none of you precede the others in slaying him. We will all kill him together, for if we allow him to speak a word, he will bewitch us.'" Then they stabbed him with their swords in his abdomen and killed him. When the Jews and the polytheists who were with them found out about it, they were alarmed and the next morning they went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'Our leader was killed last night and he was a nobleman among us.' So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited to them some of his poetry in which he insulted and harmed them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then called them to write a document between him and them and the Muslims in general, which would include the agreement of the people. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote it.  

أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ الْأَشْرَفِ الْيَهُودِيَّ كَانَ شَاعِرًا وَكَانَ يَهْجُو رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابَهُ وَيُحَرِّضُ عَلَيْهِمْ كُفَّارَ قُرَيْشٍ فِي شَعْرِهِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَهِيَ أَخْلَاطٌ مِنْهُمُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ الَّذِينَ يَجْمَعُهُمْ دَعْوَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَفِيهِمُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ الَّذِينَ يَعْبُدُونَ الْأَوْثَانَ وَمِنْهُمُ الْيَهُودُ وَمِنْهُمْ أَهْلُ الْحَلْقَةِ وَالْحُصُونِ وَهُمْ حُلَفَاءُ الْحَيَّيْنِ الْأَوْسِ وَالْخَزْرَجِ فَأَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ قَدِمَ اسْتِصْلَاحَهُمْ وَمُوَادَعَتَهُمْ وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ مُسْلِمًا وَأَبُوهُ مُشْرِكًا وَالرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ مُسْلِمًا وَأَخُوهُ مُشْرِكًا وَكَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ وَالْيَهُودُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ حِينَ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُؤْذُونَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابَهُ أَشَدَّ الْأَذَى وَأَمَرَ اللهُ نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ بِالصَّبِرِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَالْعَفْوِ عَنْهُمْ فَفِيهِمْ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {وَلَتَسْمَعُنَّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلَكُمْ وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا أَذًى كَثِيرًا} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {مِنْ عَزَمِ الْأُمُورِ} وَفِيهِمْ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {وَدَّ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ لَوْ يَرُدُّونَكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ إِيمَانِكُمْ كُفَّارًا} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ اللهُ بِأَمْرِهِ} فَلَمَّا أَبَى كَعْبُ بْنُ الْأَشْرَفِ أَنْ يَنْزِعَ عَنْ أَذَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَذَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَعْدَ بْنَ مُعَاذٍ وَمُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ ثُمَّ الْحَارِثِيَّ وَأَبَا عِيسَى بْنَ حَبْرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ وَالْحَارِثَ ابْنَ أَخِي سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي خَمْسَةِ رَهْطٍ فَأَتَوْهُ عَشِيَّةً فِي مَجْلِسِهِ بِالْعَوَالِي فَلَمَّا رَآهُمْ كَعْبُ بْنُ الْأَشْرَفِ أَنْكَرَ شَأْنَهُمْ وَكَانَ يَذْعَرُ مِنْهُمْ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ مَا جَاءَ بِكُمْ؟ قَالُوا جَاءَ بِنَا حَاجَةٌ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ فَلْيَدْنُ إِلَيَّ بَعْضُكُمْ لِيُحَدِّثَنِي بِهَا فَدَنَا إِلَيْهِ بَعْضُهُمْ فَقَالَ قَدْ جِئْنَاكَ لِنَبِيعَكَ أَدْرَاعًا لَنَا لِنَسْتَنْفِقَ أَثْمَانَهَا فَقَالَ وَاللهِ لَئِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ لَقَدْ جُهِدْتُمْ مُنْذُ نَزَلَ بِكُمْ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ فَوَاعَدَهُمْ أَنْ يَأْتُوهُ عِشَاءً حِينَ يَهْدِي عَنْهُ النَّاسَ فَجَاؤُوهُ فَنَادَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَقَامَ لِيَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ مَا طَرَقُوكَ سَاعَتَهُمْ هَذِهِ بِشَيْءٍ مِمَّا تُحِبُّ قَالَ بَلَى إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ حَدَّثُونِي حَدِيثَهُمْ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَاعْتَنَقَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ وَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ لَا يَسْبِقْكُمْ وَإِنْ قَتَلْتُمُونِي وَإِيَّاهُ جَمِيعًا فَطَعَنَهُ بَعْضُهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ فِي خَاصِرَتِهِ فَلَمَّا قَتَلُوهُ فَزِعْتِ الْيَهُودُ وَمَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُمْ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَغَدَوْا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ أَصْبَحُوا فَقَالُوا قَدْ طُرِقَ صَاحِبُنَا اللَّيْلَةَ وَهُوَ سَيِّدٌ مِنْ سَادَاتِنَا فَقُتِلَ غِيلَةً فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الَّذِي كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي أَشْعَارِهِ وَيُؤْذِيهِمْ بِهِ فَدَعَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَامَّةً صَحِيفَةً فِيهَا جَامِعُ أَمَرِ النَّاسِ فَكَتَبَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] That Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf, the Jewish poet, used to mock the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions and incite against them. He said, "Who will rid me of Ka'b?" When he refused to stop harming the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Muslims, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, Muhammad ibn Maslama, and Abu 'Isa ibn al-Harith ibn Abi Is'haq to assassinate him. So they went to Ka'b and mentioned the same.  

أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ الْأَشْرَفِ الْيَهُودِيَّ كَانَ شَاعِرًا وَكَانَ يَهْجُو رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابَهُ وَيُحَرِّضُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ «مَنْ لِكَعْبٍ؟» فَلَمَّا أَبَى أَنْ يَنْزِعَ عَنْ أَذَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَذَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَعْدَ بْنَ مُعَاذٍ وَمُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ وَأَبَا عِيسَى بْنَ الْحَارِثِ ابْنَ أَخِي سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي خَمْسَةٍ فَأَتَوْا كَعْبًا فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿO Allah, bless my ummah in its early mornings.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 1320)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لِأُمَّتِي فِي بُكُورِهَا»  

[Machine] Regarding the Prophet ﷺ on the subject of the fetus's zakat, he said, "Its zakat is the zakat of its mother."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي ذَكَاةِ الْجَنِينِ قَالَ «ذَكَاتُهُ ذَكَاةُ أُمِّهِ»  

[Machine] Indeed, the last sermon that the Messenger of Allah delivered stated, "O people of the Emigrants, you have increased while the Ansar [Helpers] have ceased to increase. They - the Ansar - are my shelter and I have honored them. Therefore, be generous to their virtuous ones and overlook their wrongdoers."  

إِنَّ آخِرَ خُطْبَةٍ خَطَبْنَاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ» إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ أَصْبَحْتُمْ تَزِيدُونَ وَإِنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ قَدِ انْتَهَوْا وَإِنَّهُمْ عَيْبَتِي الَّتِي أَوَيْتُ إِلَيْهَا فَأَكْرِمُوا مُحْسِنَهُمْ وَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ  

[Machine] About his father, who was one of the three whom the Prophet ﷺ praised and commended, and sought forgiveness for the martyrs who were killed on the day of Uhud, and he said, "Indeed, you, O Muhajireen, are those who increase, and indeed, Al-Ansar do not increase. And indeed, Al-Ansar are my protection to whom I turn. So honor their nobles and overlook their wrongdoers."  

عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَكَانَ أَحَدَ الثَّلَاثَةِ الَّذِينَ تِيبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَامَ خَطِيبًا فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لِلشُّهَدَاءِ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا يَوْمَ أُحِدٍ وَقَالَ «إِنَّكُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ تَزِيدُونَ وَإِنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ لَا يَزِيدُونَ وَإِنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ عَيْبَتِي الَّتِي آوِي إِلَيْهَا فَأَكْرِمُوا كَرِيمَهُمْ وَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ»  

[Machine] That when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from the expedition of the Confederates, he took off his garments, performed ablution, and performed the ritual bath.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا رَجَعَ مِنْ طَلَبِ الْأَحْزَابِ نَزَعَ لِأُمَّتِهِ وَاغْتَسَلَ وَاسْتَجْمَرَ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , after returning from seeking out the tribes, took off his clothes, performed ritual purification, and performed a ritual bath.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا رَجَعَ مِنْ طَلَبِ الْأَحْزَابِ نَزَعَ لِأُمَّتِهِ وَاغْتَسَلَ وَاسْتَجْمَرَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari, and he heard him recite, "Indeed, your brother has been given from the Psalms of the family of David" and Jonah did not mention his father in this narration.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِأَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ وَسَمِعَهُ يَقْرَأُ «لَقَدْ أُوتِيَ أَخُوكُمْ مِنْ مَزَامِيرِ آلِ دَاوُدَ» «وَلَمْ يَقُلْ يُونُسُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ» ة  

[Machine] The passage says: "It is said that the Mulaa'ib of Asinah came to the Prophet ﷺ in Tabuk. The Prophet ﷺ offered him Islam, but he refused and presented a gift to the Prophet ﷺ . The Prophet ﷺ said, 'We do not accept gifts from polytheists.' Then he said, 'Send whoever you want to the people of Najd, for I am their neighbor.' So the Prophet ﷺ sent a group, among whom was Al-Mundhir ibn 'Amr, who was known as 'A'nq (which means severed) so he can die. 'Amir ibn Al-Tufail heard about them and mentioned the incident."  

يُقَالُ لَهُ مُلَاعِبُ الْأَسِنَّةِ قَدِمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِتَبُوكٍ فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْإِسْلَامَ فَأَبَى وَأَهْدَى إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّا لَا نَقْبَلُ هَدِيَّةَ مُشْرِكٍ» ثُمِّ قَالَ ابْعَثْ مَنْ شِئْتَ إِلَى أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ فَإِنِّي لَهُمْ جَارٌ فَبَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَهْطًا فِيهِمُ الْمُنْذِرُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَهُوَ الَّذِي كَانَ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَعْنَقَ لِيَمُوتَ فَسَمِعَ بِهِمْ عَامِرُ بْنُ الطُّفَيْلِ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Who is your leader, O children of Salimah?" They said, "Al-Jadd bin Qais, but we regard him as stingy." He said, "And what disease is worse than stinginess?" They said, "Who is our leader, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Bishr bin Al-Bara bin Ma'rur."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ سَيِّدُكُمْ يَا بَنِي سَلِمَةَ؟» قَالُوا الْجَدُّ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَلَى أَنَّا نَزِنُهُ بِبُخْلٍ فَقَالَ «وَأَيُّ دَاءٍ أَدْوَأُ مِنَ الْبُخْلِ؟» قَالُوا فَمَنْ سَيِّدُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «بِشْرُ بْنُ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ مَعْرُورٍ»  

[Machine] He informed them that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who is your leader, O Banu Salamah?" They said, "Our leader is Al-Jadd bin Qays." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Why do you belittle him?" They said, "Because he is wealthier than us and we measure him with stinginess." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What disease is worse than stinginess? He is not your leader." They said, "Then who is our leader, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Your leader is Bashir bin Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur."  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ سَيِّدُكُمْ يَا بَنِي سَلَمَةَ؟» قَالُوا سَيِّدُنَا الْجَدُّ بْنُ قَيْسٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لِمَ تُسَوِّدُونَهُ؟» قَالُوا فَإِنَّهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنَّا مَالًا وَإِنَّا لَنَزِنُهُ بِالْبُخْلِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «وَأَيُّ دَاءٍ أَدْوَأُ مِنَ الْبُخْلِ لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ سَيِّدُكُمْ» قَالُوا فَمَنْ سَيِّدُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «سَيِّدُكُمْ بِشْرُ بْنُ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ مَعْرُورٍ»  

[Machine] It was narrated that the Prophet ﷺ was asked, "Who is the best among people?" He replied, "A believer between two honorable people."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سُئِلَ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «مُؤْمِنٌ بَيْنَ كَرِيمَيْنَ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: The believer is simple and generous, but the profligate is deceitful and ignoble. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4790)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْمُؤْمِنُ غَرٌّ كَرِيمٌ وَالْفَاجِرُ خَبٌّ لَئِيمٌ»  

[Machine] It was reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who sighted the killing of Hamza?" A man replied, "May Allah honor you, I witnessed his killing. So he walked and stood over Hamza and saw that his stomach had been split and he had been disfigured. He said, 'O Messenger of Allah, he has been disfigured.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked looking at him and stood between the killed corpses and said, 'I am a martyr for them, as these wounds will bleed with blood on the Day of Resurrection and their color will be the color of blood and their scent will be the scent of musk. They have come with reciting the Qur'an the most, so bury them together."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ رَأَى مَقْتَلَ حَمْزَةَ؟» قَالَ رَجُلٌ أَعَزَّكَ اللهُ أَنَا رَأَيْتُ مَقْتَلَهُ فَانْطَلَقَ فَوَقَفَ عَلَى حَمْزَةَ فَرَآهُ قَدْ شُقَّ بَطْنُهُ وَقَدْ مُثِّلَ بِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مُثِّلَ بِهِ فَكَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ وَوَقَفَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيِ الْقَتْلَى وَقَالَ «أَنَا لِشَهِيدٌ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ لِفُّوهُمْ فِي دِمَائِهِمْ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مَجْرُوحٌ يُجْرَحُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ إِلَّا جَاءَ جُرْحُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَدْمَى لَوْنُهُ لَوْنُ الدَّمِ وَرِيحُهُ رِيحُ الْمِسْكِ قَدِمُوا أَكْثَرَ الْقَوْمِ قُرْآنًا فَاجْعَلُوهُ فِي اللَّحْدِ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent back Al-Bara' ibn Ma'roor while he was suffering from a stroke. He commanded whoever is taking care of him to place him in front of the fire until his condition improves."  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَادَ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ مَعْرُورٍ وَقَدْ أَخَذَتْهُ ذَبْحَةٌ فَأَمَرَ مَنْ يَبُطُّهُ بِالنَّارِ حَتَّى يُوَجِّهَهُ»  

[Machine] "He asked the Prophet ﷺ about a sacrifice done by a woman with a stone, and he did not see any problem with it."  

«أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ ذَبِيحَةٍ ذَبَحَتْهَا امْرَأَةٌ بِحَجَرٍ فَلَمْ يَرَ بِهَا بَأْسًا»  

[Machine] The messenger of Allah ﷺ went out in intense heat and ordered a military expedition to Tabuk. At that time, I was a believer in Allah and his messenger, but my soul longed for shade and coolness. I was strong and young, and my soul told me that I should make excuses and not go with the messenger of Allah ﷺ . So that's what I did. The Prophet ﷺ set off and I went to the marketplace, intending to prepare myself. It was as if he was holding my hand, and he walked until he was about two miles away from the city. He stopped, and there he found a man on a mount who caught up to him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Be Abu Khaythamah." So he turned out to be Abu Khaythamah. The Prophet ﷺ said, "In the city there are seventy-seven hypocrites, including me, Hilal bin Umayyah, and Murarah. The Prophet ﷺ asked Abu Khaythamah, "What did Ka'b bin Malik do?" He replied, "I left him walking in the streets of the city." Mu'adh said, "By Allah, I did not know that he loved Allah and his messenger." A group of the Prophet's companions went down and said, "By Allah, they care only about their stomachs and their lower parts, and they are the weakest in hearts." The Prophet ﷺ called Ammar bin Yasir and told him to go to those people and ask them what was causing their dissatisfaction. So if you ask them, they would say that they were just having fun and playing around. The Prophet ﷺ said, "You have burned them, may Allah also burn you." He also recited the verse (translation): "If you ask them, they will surely say, 'We were only conversing and playing.' Say, 'Is it Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?'" And there came a man who was not one of them, but he heard their conversation and clung to the Prophet's companion. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I did not care about them, but I heard what they said." So the Prophet ﷺ set off and walked along with the man, apologizing to him. They continued until blood began to flow from the Prophet's feet, and then the Prophet ﷺ returned from his military expedition. Hilal bin Umayyah and Murarah bin Rabee'ah came to him and he made us sit in a corner. It was said to Ka'b bin Malik that he was not pleased with his two companions. So he turned to them and asked them why, to which they replied,

[Machine] We set out in the month of Hajj that we had pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , at Al-Aqaba, with the polytheists of our people. With us was Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur, our elder, and our leader. When we reached the outskirts of the desert, he said, "O people, you know that I have seen a vision, and I don't know if you agree with me on it or not." We asked, "What is it, O Abu Al-Bashar?" He said, "I saw that I was praying towards this structure (the Kaaba) instead of facing my back to it." We said, "No, by Allah, you should not do that, for we have heard that our Prophet, ﷺ , only prays towards the Sham (the Levant)." He said, "By Allah, I will always pray towards it." Whenever the time for prayer came, he would face the Kaaba, and we faced the Sham, until we reached Makkah. Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur said to me, "O cousin, come with us to the Messenger of Allah so that we may ask him about what we have done on this journey. For I have found something different in myself compared to all of you." So we went to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and we met a man near Al-Abtah, and we said to him, "Show us the way to Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul-Muttalib." He asked, "Do you know him if you see him?" We said, "No, by Allah, we don't know him, nor have we seen the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ." He asked, "Do you know Al-Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib?" We answered, "Yes, we know him, for we used to trade with him." He said, "When you enter the mosque, look for Al-Abbas, for he is the man with him." So we entered the mosque, and the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and Al-Abbas were sitting on one side of the mosque. We greeted them and sat down. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , asked, "Do you know these two men?" When they hesitated, he said, "This is Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur, the leader of his people, and this is Ka'b bin Malik." Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have seen a vision on this journey that I wanted to ask you about, so that you may tell me what I should do." The Prophet, ﷺ , asked, "What is it?" He replied, "I saw that I should not turn my back on this structure (the Kaaba) while praying, so I prayed towards it." The Prophet, ﷺ , said, "You were on the right direction, and if you had been patient with it, it would have been enough for you." Then he returned to the direction the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to face (towards the Sham), and his family kept saying that he died facing it, but we know better. He went back to the direction the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to face, and he prayed with us towards the Sham.

[Machine] We set out in the Hajj in which we pledged our allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Al-Aqaba, along with the polytheists of our people. Al-Bara' ibn Ma'rur, our elder, and our leader were with us. When we were in the desert plain, he said, "O people, do you know that I have seen something, but I do not know if you will agree with me or not?" We said, "What is it, O Abu Al-Bashar?" He said, "I saw that I should pray towards this structure and not make it behind me." We said, "No, by Allah, do not do what we have heard that our Prophet ﷺ does not pray except towards Sham (Greater Syria)." He said, "By Allah, I will pray towards it." And whenever the time for prayer approached, he would face the Ka'bah and we would face Sham until we reached Makkah. Al-Bara' ibn Ma'rur said to me, "O nephew, come with us to the Messenger of Allah so that we can ask him about what we have done in this journey. I found something in myself that differed from you, so we went to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We met a man in Al-Abtah and said to him, "Guide us to Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abdul-Muttalib." He said, "Do you know him if you see him?" We said, "No, by Allah, we do not know him, and we have not seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said, "Do you know Abbas ibn Abdul-Muttalib?" We said, "Yes, and we know him. He used to come to us for trade." He said, "When you enter the mosque, look at Abbas. He is the man with him." So we entered the mosque and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abbas were sitting in one corner of the mosque. We greeted him and sat down. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you know these two men?" When we were nervous, he said, "Yes, this is Al-Bara' ibn Ma'rur, the leader of his people, and this is Ka'b ibn Malik." Al-Bara' ibn Ma'rur said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have seen something in this journey that I wanted to ask you about, so you can inform me of what I have done." He said, "What is it?" He said, "I saw that I should not make this structure behind me, so I prayed towards it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You were upon the Qiblah (direction of prayer) that if you endured it." So he returned to the Qiblah of the Messenger of Allah and his family while we were saying that he died on it, and we knew better about it. He returned to the Qiblah of the Messenger of Allah and prayed with us towards Sham.

[Machine] We went out in the month of Hajj in which we pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Al-Aqaba. Our people, along with us, were the elderly Bara' bin Ma'rur and our leader. When we reached the outskirts of the desert, he said, "O people, you know that I have seen a vision. I do not know if you would agree with me or not?" We asked, "What is it, O father of mankind?" He said, "I saw that I was praying towards this structure (meaning Al-Quds) and I did not consider it to be from among me. We said, "No, by Allah, do not do what we have been informed about our Prophet, ﷺ , that he only prays towards Ash-Sham.” He said, "By Allah, I will face it (Al-Quds) during prayer." And whenever prayer time would come, he would turn towards the Ka'bah, while we would turn towards Ash-Sham until we reached Makkah. Then, Bara' bin Ma'rur said to me, "O son of my brother, come with us to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ so that we may ask him about what we have done in this journey. For I found in myself something different from what you all found in yourselves." So we went to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and we met a man at the door. We said to him, "Show us the way to Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul-Muttalib." He asked, "Do you recognize him if you see him?" We said, "No, by Allah, we do not recognize him, nor have we seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He asked, "Do you recognize Al-Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib?" We said, "Yes, we do. We know him as he used to trade with us." Then he said, "When you enter the mosque, look for Al-Abbas. He is the man accompanying him." So we entered the mosque and saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Al-Abbas sitting on one side of the mosque. We greeted them and sat down. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you know these two men?" When we hesitated, he said, "This is Bara' bin Ma'rur, the leader of his people, and this is Ka'b bin Malik." Then Al-Abbas said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , "O Messenger of Allah, I have seen a vision during this journey and I would like to ask you about it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "What is it?" He replied, "I saw that I should not make this structure (Al-Quds) part of me during prayer. So I prayed towards it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You were on the right path, and if only you could have endured it." Then he turned towards the Qibla of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his family, as they say, "He died upon it." And we know best about it. He returned to the Qibla of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and prayed with us towards Ash-Sham.

[Machine] We set out during the pilgrimage season in which we pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Al-Aqaba. The polytheists of our people, along with the senior members of our community, including the Prophet's cousin Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur, went with us. When we reached the outskirts of the wilderness, he said, "O people, you know that I have seen a vision and I do not know if you will agree with me or not." We asked, "What is it, O Abu Al-Bashar?" He said, "I saw that I am praying towards this structure and I do not take it as my Qibla. We responded, "No, by Allah, you should not do what we have been informed that our Prophet ﷺ does not pray except towards Ash-Sham (the Levant)." He said, "By Allah, I am going to pray towards it." He used to face the Ka'bah when the time for prayer came, but we faced Ash-Sham until we reached Makkah. Then Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur said to me, "O my nephew, go to the Messenger of Allah and ask him about what we have done on this journey, for I have noticed a difference between him and you." So, we went to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we met a man at the entrance of At-Tan'im. We asked him to direct us to Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul-Muttalib. He asked, "Do you recognize him if you see him?" We replied, "No, by Allah, we do not recognize him, nor have we seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He then asked, "Do you recognize Al-Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib?" We replied, "Yes, we do. We are familiar with him as he used to visit us for trade." He said, "When you enter the Masjid, look for Al-Abbas, for he is the man accompanying him." So, we entered the Masjid and found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Al-Abbas sitting to the side. We greeted them and sat down. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you recognize these two men?" When he paused, we replied, "Yes, this is Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur, the leader of his people, and this is Ka'b bin Malik." Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur then asked, "O Messenger of Allah, I have seen something in this journey that I wanted to ask you about, so you could inform me of what I have done." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What is it?" Al-Bara' replied, "I saw that I should not take this structure as my Qibla, so I prayed towards it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You were upon a previous Qibla, if you had been patient and continued to pray towards it." So, the Prophet ﷺ returned to the previous Qibla and his family and companions were saying that he had died upon it, and we were more aware of him. He returned to the previous Qibla and performed the prayer with us facing Ash-Sham.  

خَرَجْنَا فِي الْحِجَّةِ الَّتِي بَايَعْنَا بِهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ الْعَقَبَةَ مَعَ مُشْرِكِي قَوْمِنَا وَمَعَنَا الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَعْرُورٍ كَبِيرُنَا وَسَيِّدُنَا حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِظَاهِرِ الْبَيْدَاءِ قَالَ يَا هَؤُلَاءِ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَأَيًا مَا أَدْرِي أَتُوَافِقُونِي عَلَيْهِ أَمْ لَا؟ قُلْنَا مَا هُوَ يَا أَبَا الْبَشَرِ؟ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَنِّي أُصَلِّي إِلَى هَذِهِ الْبَنِيَّةِ وَلَا أَجْعَلُهَا مِنِّي بِظَهْرٍ قُلْنَا لَا وَاللهِ لَا تَفْعَلُ مَا بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ نَبِيَّنَا ﷺ لَا يُصَلِّي إِلَّا إِلَى الشَّامِ قَالَ فَإِنِّي وَاللهِ لِمُصَلٍّ إِلَيْهَا وَكَانَ إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ وَتَوَجَّهْنَا إِلَى الشَّامِ حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ فَقَالَ لِي الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَعْرُورٍ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي انْطَلَقْ بِنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ حَتَّى نَسْأَلَهُ عَمَّا صَنَعْنَا فِي سَفَرِنَا هَذَا فَلَقَدْ وَجَدْتُ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْهُ بِخِلَافِكُمْ إِيَّايَ فَخَرَجْنَا نَسْأَلُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَقِيَنَا رَجُلٌ بِالْأَبْطَحِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ تَدُلُّنَا عَلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ وَهَلْ تَعْرِفَانِهِ إِذَا رَأْيُتَمَاهُ؟ قُلْنَا لَا وَاللهِ مَا نَعْرِفُهُ وَلَمْ نَكُنْ رَأَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَعْرَفَانِ الْعَبَّاسَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ؟ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ وَقَدْ كُنَّا نَعْرِفُهُ كَانَ يَخْتَلِفُ إِلَيْنَا بِالتِّجَارَةِ قَالَ فَإِذَا دَخَلْتُمَا الْمَسْجِدَ فَانْظُرَا الْعَبَّاسَ فَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي مَعَهُ فَدَخَلْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالْعَبَّاسُ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ جَالِسَانِ فَسَلَّمْنَا وَجَلَسْنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هَلْ تَعْرِفُ هَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ؟» فَلَمَّا انْفَتَلَ قَالَ نَعَمْ هَذَا الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَعْرُورٍ سَيِّدُ قَوْمِهِ وَهَذَا كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَوَاللهِ مَا أَنْسَى قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ «الشَّاعِرَ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَعْرُورٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ رَأَيْتُ فِي سَفَرِي هَذَا رَأَيًا قَدْ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْهُ لَتُخْبِرَنِّي عَمَّا صَنَعْتُ فِيهِ قَالَ «وَمَا ذَلِكَ؟» قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَنْ لَا أَجْعَلَ هَذِهِ الْبَنِيَّةَ مِنِّي بِظَهْرٍ فَصَلَّيْتُ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «قَدْ كُنْتَ عَلَى قِبْلَةٍ لَوْ صَبَرْتَ إِلَيْهَا» فَرَجَعَ إِلَى قِبْلَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَهْلُهُ يَقُولُونَ قَدْ مَاتَ عَلَيْهَا وَنَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ قَدْ رَجَعَ إِلَى قِبْلَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ فَصَلَّى مَعَنَا إِلَى الشَّامِ  

[Machine] I was the leader of my father when his sight failed. Whenever I went out to Friday prayers, he would hear the call to prayer and seek forgiveness for Ummamah As'ad ibn Zurarah. So I would stay for a while to hear that from him. I said to myself, there is nothing stopping me from asking him about this. So I went out with him as I usually do. When he heard the call to prayer for Friday, he sought forgiveness for him. So I said, "Oh my father, have you noticed that you seek forgiveness for As'ad ibn Zurarah every time you hear the call to prayer for Friday?" He said, "Oh my son, As'ad was the first one of us to gather in Medina before the arrival of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the battle of Hurrah of Bani Bayadah in Naki' Al-Khadimah. I said, how many were you that day? He said, forty men."  

كُنْتُ قَائِدَ أَبِي حِينَ كَفَّ بَصَرُهُ فَإِذَا خَرَجْتُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ فَسَمِعَ الْأَذَانَ بِهَا اسْتَغْفَرَ لِأَبِي أُمَامَةَ أَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ فَمَكَثْتُ حِينًا أَسْمَعُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنْ عَجْزٌ إِلَّا أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ هَذَا فَخَرَجْتُ بِهِ كَمَا كُنْتُ أَخْرُجُ بِهِ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْأَذَانَ بِالْجُمُعَةِ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ فَقُلْتُ «يَا أَبَتَاهُ أَرَأَيْتَ اسْتِغْفَارَكَ لِأَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ كُلَّمَا سَمِعْتَ الْأَذَانَ بِالْجُمُعَةِ؟» فَقَالَ أَيْ بُنَيْ كَانَ أَسْعَدُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ جَمَّعَ بِنَا فِي الْمَدِينَةِ قَبْلَ مَقْدِمِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي هَزْمٍ مِنْ حُرَّةِ بَنِي بَيَاضَةَ فِي نَقِيعِ الْخَضَمَاتِ قُلْتُ وَكَمْ أَنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ؟ قَالَ أَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا  

[Machine] He had some money with Abdullah bin Abi Hadrada, so he met him and stuck with him. They started talking and the voices raised. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by them and said, "O Ka'b," indicating with his hand that he wanted half. So he took half of what was owed to him and left the other half.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي حَدْرَدَ مَالٌ فَلَقِيَهُ فَلَزِمَهُ فَتَكَلَّمَا فَارْتَفَعَتِ الْأَصْوَاتُ فَمَرَّ بِهِمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا كَعْبُ» وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ كَأَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ النِّصْفَ فَأَخَذَ نِصْفَ مَا عَلَيْهِ وَتَرَكَ نِصْفَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When one of you experiences pain, let him place his hand where he feels the pain and say, 'I seek refuge in the might and power of Allah from the evil of what I am experiencing,' seven times."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَلَمًا فَلْيَضَعْ يَدَهُ حَيْثُ يَجِدُ أَلَمَهُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ passed by a group of the Ansar who were constructing a mosque. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Make your mosque wider, so that it may be filled."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ عَلَى قَوْمٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَبْنُونَ مَسْجِدًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَوْسِعُوا مَسْجِدَكُمْ تَمْلَأُوهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to a group of the Ansar who were building a mosque and said, "Make it more spacious so that it can be filled."  

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى قَوْمٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُحَصِّبُونُ مَسْجِدًا فَقَالَ «أَوْسِعُوا تَمْلَأُوهُ»
