[Machine] Years passed by as Quraysh faced difficulties and hardships that weakened their bodies and exhausted their souls. While I lay there, consumed by worries and concerns, a phone call startled me with a loud voice. The caller shouted, "O people of Quraysh, indeed this is the appointed Prophet who has overshadowed you with his days, and his stars are evident. So, let him be embraced with respect and fertility. Look, a man among you, with strong bones and radiant white hair, soft cheeks, and a pleasant scent. Contemplate his attributes, and let him be approached by a man from each tribe. Then, let them touch him with water, perfume him, and circle around the corner. After that, let Abu Qubays be washed and the man be brought in, and let the people believe in him. You are free now, do as you wish. I woke up, trembling with fear, my skin covered in goosebumps, and my mind confused. I shortened my dream and fell asleep in the valleys of Makkah, by the forbidden Haram. No one remained there except the elderly and the women of Quraysh. They rushed towards him from every tribe, touching and circling around the corner. They ascended Abu Qubays and lined up around him. Their pace did not slow down until they reached the top of the mountain. There stood Abd al-Muttalib, and with him was the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , a young boy who was either alive or lifeless. He raised his hands and said, "O Allah, the Protector of companionship, and the Reliever of sorrow, You are the teacher of the untaught and the responsive without stint. These are Your servants, complaining to You about the hardships they face in Your sanctified areas. O Allah, remove their pain, the tiredness, and the hardships from them. O Allah, send upon us a sudden, heavy, and terrifying rain. By the Lord of the Ka'bah, they did not plan until the sky burst open with its water, and the valley overflowed with its streams. I heard two elders of Quraysh, Abdullah bin Jad'an, Harb bin Umayya, and Hisham bin Al-Mughirah saying to Abd al-Muttalib, "Congratulations to you, O Abu Al-Batha'. You have lived to see the people of Al-Batha' thrive." And in that is what Ruqayyah, the daughter of Abu Sufyan, said.  

تَتَابَعَتْ عَلَى قُرَيْشٍ سِنُونَ أَمْحَلَتِ الضَّرْعَ وأَدَقَّتِ الْعَظْمَ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا رَاقِدَةُ الْهَمِّ أَوْ مَهْمومَةٌ إِذَا هَاتِفٌ يَصْرُخٌ بِصَوْتٍ صَحِلٍ يَقُولُ مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ إِنَّ هَذَا النَّبِيَّ الْمَبْعُوثَ قَدْ أَظَلَّتْكُمْ أَيَّامُهُ وَهَذَا إِبَّانَ نُجُومِهِ فَحَيْهَلَا بِالْحَيَاءِ وَالْخِصْبِ أَلَا فَأَنْظِرُوا رَجُلًا مِنْكُمْ وسِيطًا عِظَامًا جِسامًا أَبْيَضَ بضياءٍ أَوْطَفَ الْأَهْدَابِ سَهْلَ الْخَدَّيْنِ أَشَمَّ الْعِرْنِينِ لَهُ فَحَزَّ يَكْظِمُ عَلَيْهِ وَسُنَّةٌ يَهْدِي إِلَيْهِ فَلْيَخْلُصْ هُوَ وَوَلَدُهُ ولْيَهْبِطْ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ كُلِّ بَطْنٍ رَجُلٌ فَلْيَشُنُّوا مِنَ الْمَاءِ ولْيَمَسُّوا مِنَ الطِّيبِ ولْيَسْتَلِمُوا الرُّكْنَ ثُمَّ لِيَرْقُوا أَبَا قُبَيْسٍ ثُمَّ لْيَدْعُ الرَّجُلُ ولْيُؤَمِّنِ الْقَوْمُ فَغِثْتُمْ مَا شِئْتُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُ عَلِمَ اللهُ مَذْعُورَةً اقْشَعَرَّ جِلْدِي وَوَلِهَ عَقْلِي واقْتَصَصْتُ رُؤْيَايَ وَنِمْتُ فِي شِعَابِ مَكَّةَ فَوَالْحُرْمَةِ وَالْحَرَمِ مَا بَقِي بِهَا أَبْطَحِي إِلَّا قَالَ هَذَا شَيْبَةُ الْحَمْدِ وتَنَاهَتْ إِلَيْهِ رِجَالَاتُ قُرَيْشٍ وَهَبَطَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ كُلِّ بَطْنٍ رَجُلٌ فَشُنُّوا وَمَسُّوا واسْتَلَمُوا الرُّكْنَ ثُمَّ ارْتَقُوا أَبَا قُبَيْسٍ وَاصْطَفُّوا حَوْلَهُ مَا يَبْلُغُ سَعْيُهُمْ مُهِلَّةً حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَوُوا بِذُرْوَةِ الْجَبَلِ قَامَ عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَمَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غُلَامٌ قَدْ أَيْفَعَ أَوْ كَرَبَ فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ سَادَّ الْخَلَّةِ وكاشِفَ الْكُرْبَةِ أَنْتَ مُعَلِّمٌ غَيْرُ مُعَلَّمٍ ومَسْؤولٌ غَيْرُ مُبْخَلٍ وَهَذِهِ عَبْدَاؤُكَ وإِمَاؤُكَ بِعَذْراتِ حَرَمِكَ يَشْكُونَ إِلَيْكَ سَنَتَهُمْ أَذْهَبَتِ الْخُفَّ وَالظِّلْفَ اللهُمَّ فَأَمْطِرَنَّ عَلَيْنَا غَيْثًا مُعْذِقًا مَرِيعًا فَوَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ مَا رامُوا حَتَّى تَفَجَّرَتِ السَّمَاءُ بِمَائِهَا واكْتَظَّ الْوَادِي بِثَجِيجِهِ فَسَمِعْتُ شِيخَانَ قُرَيْشٍ وجِلَّتَها عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ جُدْعَانَ وَحَرْبَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ وَهِشَامَ بْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ يَقُولُونَ لِعَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ هَنِيئًا لَكَ أَبَا الْبَطْحَاءِ أَيْ عَاشَ بِكَ أَهْلُ الْبَطْحَاءِ وَفِي ذَلِكَ مَا تَقُولُ رُقَيْقَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي صَيْفِيٍّ  

[Machine] When the Prophet ﷺ came seeking victory in Ta'if, I entered upon Ali and brought him a drink made from barley. He said, "O Ruqayyah, do not worship their tyrant nor offer prayers for her." She said, "Then they will kill me." He said, "If they say that to you, then say, 'My Lord is the Lord of this tyrant.' And when you see her, turn your back to her." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left my presence.  

لَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَبْتَغِي النَّصْرَ بِالطَّائِفِ دَخَلَ عَلِيَّ فَأَخْرَجْتُ لَهُ شَرَابًا مِنْ سَوِيقٍ فَقَالَ «يَا رُقَيْقَةُ لَا تَعْبُدِي طَاغِيَتَهُمْ وَلَا تُصَلِّي لَهَا» قَالَتْ إِذًا يَقْتُلُونِي قَالَ «فَإِذَا قَالُوا لَكِ فَقُولِي رَبِّي رَبُّ هَذِهِ الطَّاغِيَةِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتِهَا فَوَلِّها ظَهْرَكِ» ثُمَّ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِي  

[Machine] That Rayyata, the sister of Abdullah al-Thaqafi, was under the care of Ibn Mas'ud. She was a woman who used to make and sell her own handicrafts. She said to Ibn Mas'ud, "You and your child have occupied me with expenses in the way of Allah, so I am unable to spend in the way of Allah." Ibn Mas'ud replied, "I do not wish for you to do that if you will not be rewarded for it. So I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, 'Spend on them, for you will be rewarded for what you spend on them.'"  

أَنَّ رَائِطَةَ أُخْتَ عَبْدِ اللهِ الثَّقَفِيَّةَ كَانَتْ تَحْتَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةً صَنَاعًا تَصْنَعُ فَتَبِيعُ مِنْ صَنْعَتِهَا فَقَالَتْ لِابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ إِنَّكَ قَدْ شَغَلْتَنِي أَنْتَ وَوَلَدُكَ عَنِ النَّفَقَةِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَمَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أُنْفِقَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَقَالَ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَفْعَلِي إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكِ فِي ذَلِكَ أَجْرٌ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَنْفِقِي عَلَيْهِمْ فَإِنَّ لَكِ أَجْرَ مَا أَنْفَقْتِ عَلَيْهِمْ»  

[Machine] She heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ talking about Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammas al-Ansari's wife, that there was something between her and her husband, and there was a man who had a strong desire for her. So she went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and spoke to him. He sent for Thabit ibn Qays and they both spoke in his presence as Allah willed. Then, he accepted fidya (ransom) from her and she redeemed herself from him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded her to observe her waiting period (iddah).  

أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ امْرَأَةِ ثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ أَنَّهُ كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ زَوْجِهَا بَعْضُ الشَّيْءِ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا فِيهِ شِدَّةٌ فَأَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَلَّمَتْهُ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى ثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ فَتَكَلَّمَا عِنْدَهُ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ قَبِلَ مِنْهَا فِدْيَةً فَافْتَدَتْ مِنْهُ فَأَمَرَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ تَعْتَدَّ حَيْضَةً  

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ with a mask made of palm leaves and a pile of trashed fibers, so he granted me a handful of jewelry or gold.  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِقِنَاعٍ مِنْ رُطَبٍ وَأَجْرٍ زُغْبٍ فَأَعْطَانِي مِلْءَ كَفِّي حُلِيًّا أَوْ ذَهَبًا  

We used to go for Military expeditions along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ and provide the people with water, serve them and bring the dead and the wounded back to Medina. (Using translation from Bukhārī 5679)  

«كُنَّا نَغْزُو مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَسْقِي الْقَوْمَ وَنَخْدُمُهُمْ وَنَرُدُّ الْقَتْلَى وَالْجَرْحَى إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ»  

[Machine] About her mother Ruzaynah, the slave woman of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , reported that Hafsah, the mother of the believers, visited Aisha, the mother of the believers, one day. Sowdah entered upon them wearing a black cloak made of Yemeni fabric, and she had a veil with two dots resembling the lenses in its proper place from sabr and saffron. Alila said, "I saw women adorning themselves with such attire for their husbands." So Hafsah said to Aisha, "The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , enters upon us frequently, and he will see me with this adornment today, which might spoil her own beauty." Aisha said, "Fear Allah, O Hafsah." Sowdah said, "What are you saying?" and she had a difficulty in her hearing. Aisha said, "The blind person has gone out." Sowdah asked, "The blind person has gone out?" Aisha said, "Yes." Sowdah asked, "Where should I hide?" Aisha said, "Hide in the tent, they have tents made of palm leaves where they cook pots, and spider webs are woven in it." So she went and entered it. Then the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , entered while they were both laughing and unable to speak to him due to their laughter. He asked, "What is the laughter about?" They pointed with their hands towards the tent. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , entered the tent, and there was Sowdah trembling. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to her, "What's wrong with you?" She said, "O Messenger of Allah, the blind person went out." He said, "He did not go out, and he will not go out again." Then he entered and took her hand, and he shook the dust off her and the spider webs.  

عَنْ أُمِّهَا رُزَيْنَةَ مَوْلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ حَفْصَةَ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ زَارَتْ عَائِشَةَ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمًا فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ سَوْدَةُ عَلَيْهَا دِرْعٌ مِنْ دُرُوعِ الْيَمَنِ وَخِمَارٌ وَعَلَيْهَا نُقْطَتَانِ مِثْلُ الْعَدَسَتَيْنِ فِي مُوقِهَا مِنْ صَبَرٍ وَزَعْفَرَانٍ قَالَتْ عَلِيلَةُ وَأَدْرَكْتُ النِّسَاءَ يَتَزَيَّنَّ بِهِ لِأَزْوَاجِهِنَّ فَقَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ لِعَائِشَةَ يَدْخُلُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَيْنَا فَشَفْنَينَ وَهَذِهِ بَيْنَنَا تَبْرُقُ لأُفْسِدَنَّ عَلَيْهَا زِينَتَهَا الْيَوْمَ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ اتَّقِي اللهَ يَا حَفْصَةُ فَقَالَتْ سَوْدَةُ مَا تَقُلْنَ وَكَانَ فِي أُذُنَيْها ثِقَلٌ فَقَالَتْ خَرَجَ الْأَعْوَرُ قَالَتْ خَرَجَ الْأَعْوَرُ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ فَأَيْنَ أَخْتَبِئُ؟ قَالَتْ عَلَيْكِ بِالْخَيْمَةِ خَيْمَةٌ لَهُنَّ مِنْ سَعَفٍ يَطْبُخُونَ فِيهَا الْقُدُورَ فِيهَا نَسْجُ الْعَنْكَبُوتِ فَذَهَبَتْ فَدَخَلَتْ فِيهَا فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُمَا تَضْحَكانِ لَا تَسْتَطِيعانِ أَنْ تُكَلِّمَاهُ مِنَ الضَّحِكِ فَقَالَ «مَاذَا الضَّحِكُ؟» فَأَوْمَأَتا بِأَيْدِيهِمَا إِلَى الْخَيْمَةِ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْخَيْمَةَ فَإِذَا سَوْدَةُ تَرْعَدُ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا لَكِ؟» فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ خَرَجَ الْأَعْوَرُ فَقَالَ «مَا خَرَجَ وَلَيَخْرُجْنَ» فَدَخَلَ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهَا وَجَعَلَ يَنْفُضُ عَنْهَا التُّرَابَ وَمِنَ الْعَنْكَبُوتِ  

[Machine] Shaybah bint Al-Aswad, the niece of my mother, told me that my grandmother, Rawdah, said to me, "I used to be a companion to a woman in the city. When the Prophet ﷺ migrated from Makkah to Madinah, my guardian, Rawdah, told me to stand at the door of our house and inform her when this man passes by." She continued, "So I stood and the Prophet ﷺ came with a group of his companions. I held onto a corner of his cloak and he smiled at me. Shaybah said, "I think he wiped his hand on my head." I asked my guardian, "O guardian, this is the man who has come." So my guardian and those who were with her in the house came out. Islam was presented to them, and they embraced Islam." Shaybah added, "Rawdah was with me in the house in Bani Sulaym. Whenever the neighbors purchased a slave, servant, garment, or food, they would say to her, 'O Rawdah, place your hand on it.' And everything she touched would be blessed."  

حَدَّثَتْنِي شَيْبَةُ بِنْتُ الْأَسْوَدِ بِنْتِ عَمَّةِ أُمِّي قَالَتْ حَدَّثَتْنِي جَدَّتِي رَوْضَةُ قَالَتْ كُنْتُ وَصِيفَةٌ لِامْرَأَةٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَلَمَّا هَاجَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَتْ لِي مَوْلَاتِي رَوْضَةُ قُومِي عَلَى بَابِ الدَّارِ فَإِذَا مَرَّ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ فَأعْلِمِيني فَقُمْتُ فَأَتَاهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَأَخَذْتُ بِطَرَفِ رِدَائِهِ فَتَبَسَّمَ فِي وَجْهِي قَالَتْ شَيْبَةُ وَأَظُنُّهُ مَسَحَ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِي فَقُلْتُ لِمَوْلَاتِي يَا هَذِهِ هُوَ ذا قَدْ جَاءَ الرَّجُلُ فَخَرَجَتْ مَوْلَاتِي وَمَنْ كَانَ مَعَهَا فِي الدَّارِ «فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْإِسْلَامَ فَأَسْلَمُوا» قَالَ وَحَدَّثَتْنِي شَيْبَةُ قَالَتْ كَانَتْ رَوْضَةُ مَعِي فِي الدَّارِ فِي بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ إِذَا اشْتَرَى الْجِيرَانُ مَمْلُوكًا أَوْ خَادِمًا أَوْ ثَوْبًا أَوْ طَعَامًا قَالُوا لَهَا يَا رَوْضَةُ ضَعِي يَدَكِ عَلَيْهِ فَكَانَتْ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ تَمَسُّهُ فِيهِ الْبَرَكَةُ  

[Machine] I was with my mother, the daughter of Sufyan, a woman from the tribe of Khuzay'ah, and the Prophet ﷺ was giving them the oath of allegiance, saying, "I give you the oath of allegiance upon the condition that you do not associate anything with Allah, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not kill your children, do not fabricate lies and spread them among yourselves, and do not disobey me in matters of righteousness." So, we accepted and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Say 'yes' to what you are capable of doing." So, we said, "Yes" to what we were capable of doing. And I used to say what they said, and my mother used to say, "Say 'yes' twice."  

كُنْتُ مَعَ أُمِّي رَائِطَةَ بِنْتِ سُفْيَانَ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُبَايِعُهُنَّ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «أُبَايِعُكُنَّ عَلَى أَنْ لَا تُشْرِكْنَ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا تَسْرِقْنَ وَلَا تَزْنِينَ وَلَا تَقْتُلْنَ أَوْلَادَكُنَّ وَلَا تَأْتِينَ بِبُهْتَانٍ تَفْتَرِينَهُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُنَّ وَأَرْجُلِكُنَّ وَلَا تَعْصِيَنِّي فِي مَعْرُوفٍ» فَأَطْرَقْنَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «قُلْنَ نَعَمْ فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُنَّهُ» فَقُلْنَا نَعَمْ فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْنَا فَكُنْتُ أَقُولُ كَمَا يَقُلْنَ وَأُمِّي تَقُولُ قُولِي نَعَمْ قُولِي نَعَمْ  

[Machine] That Al-Rubay'a bint Al-Nadr slapped a girl from the Ansar, breaking her four teeth. So they came to the Prophet ﷺ and requested retaliation. Anas ibn Al-Nadr said, "O Messenger of Allah, will the teeth of Al-Rubay'a be broken?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Anas, the retaliation is in the hands of Allah." The people forgave her, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, among the servants of Allah, there is someone who, if he were to swear by Allah, Allah would fulfill his oath."  

أَنَّ الرُّبَيِّعَ بِنْتَ النَّضْرِ لَطَمَتْ جَارِيَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَكَسَرَتْ رُباعِيَّتَها فَأَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَطَلَبُوا الْقَصَاصَ فَقَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتُكْسَرُ سِنُّ الرُّبَيِّعِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا أَنَسُ كِتَابُ اللهِ الْقَصَاصُ» فَعَفَا الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللهِ مَنْ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ مِنْهُمْ أَنَسُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ»  

[Machine] "Indeed, Rubayyah bintu al-Nadhir came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, my son Harithah was martyred on the Day of Badr. If he is in Paradise, I will have patience and seek reward. If not, I will weep and grieve.' The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'O mother of Harithah, it is gardens within Paradise, and he has surely attained the highest part of Firdaus.'"  

أَنَّ الرُّبَيِّعَ بِنْتَ النَّضْرِ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ ابْنِي حَارِثَةَ أُصِيبَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ صَبَرْتُ وَاحْتَسَبْتُ وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ اجْتَهَدْتُ فِي الْبُكَاءِ فَقَالَ «يَا أُمَّ حَارِثَةَ إِنَّهَا جِنَانٌ فِي جَنَّةٍ وَإِنَّهُ أَصَابَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ الْأَعْلَى»  

[Machine] "On a certain day, Abdullah, you and your child kept me busy, so I couldn't give any charity with you. He asked, 'What if you were to receive the reward for both?' They asked the Prophet ﷺ about it and he said, 'You will receive the reward for what you have spent on them.'"  

لِعَبْدِ اللهِ يَوْمًا لَقَدْ شَغَلْتَنِي أَنْتَ وَوَلَدُكَ فَمَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ مَعَكُمْ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ مَا تُحِبِّينَ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَكِ أَجْرَانِ؟ فَسَأَلَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ لَكَ أَجْرَ مَا أَنْفَقَتِ عَلَيْهِمْ»  

[Machine] "I do not like it if you do not have any reward in doing so," so she asked the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , while she was in this state. She said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am a woman with a skill that I seek to earn by, but I and my husband do not have anything, nor do my children. They keep me busy, so I cannot give in charity." He said, "You will have a reward for whatever you spend on them."  

مَا أُحِبُّ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكِ فِي ذَلِكَ أَجْرٌ أَنْ تَفْعَلِي فَسَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ هِيَ وَهُوَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ ذَاتُ صَنْعَةٍ أَبْتَغِي بِهَا وَلَيْسَ لِي وَلَا لِزَوْجِي شَيْءٌ وَلَا لِوَلَدِي فَشَغَلُونِي لَا أَتَصَدَّقُ فَقَالَ «لَكِ فِي ذَلِكَ أَجْرٌ مَا أَنْفَقَتِ عَلَيْهِمْ»  

[Machine] Narrated by Abdullah bin Maslamah Al-Qa'nabi, my father told me, from Hisham bin Urwah, from his father, from Ubaidullah bin Abdullah bin Utbah, from Ra'itah, the wife of Abdullah bin Mas'ud. She was a crafts-woman and Abdullah bin Mas'ud had no wealth. She would spend on him and his child from the proceeds of her craft. She said, "By Allah, you and your child have kept me occupied from giving in charity. I am unable to give anything with you." He said, "I would not like it if you did not have any reward in that, if you were to give in charity." So, she asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said, "You will have a reward for that."  

ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ رَائِطَةَ امْرَأَةِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةً صَنَاعًا وَلَيْسَ لِابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ مَالٌ وَكَانَتْ تُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى وَلَدِهِ مِنْ ثَمَنِ صَنْعَتِهَا فَقَالَتْ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ شَغَلْتَنِي أَنْتَ وَوَلَدُكَ عَنِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَمَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ مَعَكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ فَقَالَ مَا أُحِبُّ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكِ فِي ذَلِكَ أَجْرٌ أَنْ تَفْعَلِي فَسَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ هِيَ وَهُوَ فَقَالَ «لَكِ فِي ذَلِكَ أَجْرٌ»  

[Machine] I asked the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I am a woman with a skill that I seek to earn with, and I have nothing for me nor for my husband, nor for my children who distract me, so I do not give charity." He said, "You will have a reward for what you spend on them."  

سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ ذَاتُ صَنْعَةٍ أَبْتَغِي بِهَا وَلَيْسَ لِي وَلَا لِزَوْجِي شَيْءٌ وَلَا لِوَلَدِي يَشْغَلُونِي فَلَا أَتَصَدَّقُ فَقَالَ «لَكِ فِي ذَلِكَ أَجْرٌ مَا أَنْفَقْتِ عَلَيْهِمْ»  

[Machine] I left my husband and went to 'Umar, and asked him, "What am I required to do?" He replied, "You don't need to do anything except have a new marriage contract and wait until you menstruate." She said, "The Prophet's ﷺ ruling regarding this matter was only followed in the case of Maryam al-Maghrifiyah, when she was with Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammas and she left him because of it."  

اخْتَلَعْتُ مِنْ زَوْجِي ثُمَّ جِئْتُ عُمَرَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ مَاذَا عَلِيَّ مِنَ الْعِدَّةِ؟ فَقَالَ لَا عِدَّةَ عَلَيْكِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ حَدِيثَ عَهْدٍ بِكِ فَتَمْكُثِينَ حَتَّى تَحِيضِينَ حَيْضَةً قَالَتْ وإِنَّما يُتْبَعُ فِي ذَلِكَ قَضَاءُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مَرْيَمَ الْمَغَالِيَّةَ وَكَانَتْ عِنْدَ ثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ فَاخْتَلَعَتْ مِنْهُ بِهَا  

[Machine] Regarding the ablution of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , she said, "Yes, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to us and visit us, and he would perform ablution with this container and with a similar container, which was about a Mudd in size. She said, "He would first wash his hands, then he would rinse his mouth and nose, then he would wash his face three times, then he would wash his hands three times, then he would wipe his head twice, and he would wipe both the outward and inward parts of his ears, and then he would wash his feet three times, three times."  

عَنْ وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصِلُنا ويَزُورُنا وَكَانَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فِي هَذَا الْإِنَاءِ وَفِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْإِنَاءِ وَهُوَ نَحْوٌ مِنْ مُدٍّ قَالَتْ «فَكَانَ يَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُمَضْمِضُ وَيَسْتَنْشِقُ ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يَمْسَحُ بِرَأْسِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَيَمْسَحُ بِأُذُنَيْهِ ظَاهِرِهِمَا وَبَاطِنِهِمَا وَيَغْسِلُ قَدَمَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and I poured water for him. He rinsed his mouth, sniffed water into his nostrils, washed his face three times, his arms three times, wiped his head twice starting from the back then to the front, wiped the back of his ears, inserted his fingers into the ear holes, and washed his feet three times.  

أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَسَكَبْتُ لَهِ طَهُورًا فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ بَدَأَ بِمُؤَخَّرِهِ قَبْلَ مُقَدَّمِهِ وَمَسَحَ مُؤَخِّرَ أُذُنَيْهِ وَأَدْخَلَ أَصْبُعَيْهِ فِي جُحْرِ أُذُنَيْهِ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to come to us and we would bring for him a container that had water in it, the amount of which would suffice for the entire city. He would pour it upon his hand, washing them three times, then he would gargle and rinse his mouth, and then he would wash his face three times. He would wipe his head once and then wipe the outer and inner parts of his ears. Finally, he would cleanse his feet.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَأْتِينَا فَنَأْتِيهِ بِمِيضَأَةٍ لَنَا فِيهَا مَاءٌ يَأْخُذُ بِمُدِّ الْمَدِينَةِ مُدًّا وَنِصْفًا أَوْ ثُلُثَا فَأَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ فَيَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَيُمَضْمِضُ وَيَسْتَنْشِقُ وَيَغْسِلُ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَمْسَحُ بِرَأْسِهِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَيَمْسَحُ بِأُذُنَيْهِ ظَاهِرِهِمَا وَبَاطِنِهِمَا ويُطَهِّرُ قَدَمَيْهِ»  

[Machine] About the wudu' (ablution) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would perform ablution there. So, I went to her and asked her, and she brought a container to me. The container was about the length and a quarter of a handbreadth made of Hashimi fabric. She said, "I used to bring his ablution water in this." He would start by pouring water on his right hand, washing it three times before putting it in the container. Then he would rinse and sniff water three times, washing his face three times, washing his right hand three times, washing his left hand three times, then he would wipe his head both from the front and the back. Sufyan described how he wiped his head until he reached the beginning. This is the wording of the hadith of Ibn Abi 'Umar, and Ibn Abi 'Umar added in his hadith that Sufyan said, "And Ibn 'Ajlan informed me from Ibn 'Aqil who said, "Rabee'ah said, 'He then wiped his forehead and cheeks, then he returned them to their original position, then he extended them to his ears, then he wiped his ears, then he washed his feet."  

عَنْ وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ عِنْدَهَا فَأَتَيْتُهَا فَسَأَلْتُهَا فَأَخْرَجَتْ إِلَيَّ إِناءًا وَذَلِكَ نَحْوًا مِنْ مُدٍّ وَرُبُعٍ بِالْهَاشِمِيِّ فَقَالَتْ كُنْتُ أَخْرِجُ لَهُ وَضُوءَهُ فِي هَذَا فَيَبْدَأُ فَيُفْرِغُ عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى فَيَغْسِلُهَا ثَلَاثًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُدْخِلُهَا فِي الْإِنَاءِ ثُمَّ يُمَضْمِضُ وَيَسْتَنْثِرُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَغْسِلُ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَغْسِلُ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى ثَلَاثًا وَيَغْسِلُ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يَمْسَحُ رَأْسَهُ مُقْبِلًا وَمُدْبِرًا وَوَصَفَ سُفْيَانُ كَيْفَ يَمْسَحُ رَأْسَهُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ أَوَّلَهُ هَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَرَ وَزَادَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَزَادَنِي فِيهِ ابْنُ عَجْلَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَقِيلٍ قَالَ قَالَتِ الرَّبِيعُ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ صُدْغَيْهِ وعَارِضَيْهِ ثُمَّ رَدَّهُمَا إِلَى وَسَطِهِ ثُمَّ مَدَّهُما إِلَى قَفَاهُ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ أُذُنَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ رِجْلَيْهِ  

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ performed ablution and wiped the front and back of his ears.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «تَوَضَّأَ وَمَسَحَ مُقَدَّمَ أُذُنَيْهِ وَمُؤَخَّرَهُمَا»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ wiped his head with what was in his hand, starting from the back of his head, then he moved it to the front of his head, then he moved it back.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ بِفَضْلِ مَا كَانَ فِي يَدِهِ فَبَدَأَ بِمُؤَخَّرِ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ جَرَّهُ إِلَى مُقَدَّمِهِ ثُمَّ جَرَّهُ إِلَى مُؤَخِّرِهِ  

It was narrated from ‘Ali that The Prophet () did wudoo’ washing each part three times. (Using translation from Aḥmad 928)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «تَوَضَّأَ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to us frequently. She said, "So he came to us and we prepared the basin for him, so he performed ablution and washed his hands three times. Then he rinsed his mouth and sniffed water into his nostrils once. He washed his face three times, his arms three times, and wiped with what remained of his ablution twice, starting from the back of his head. Then he returned his hands to his forehead, and washed his feet three times, three times."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْتِينَا فَيُكْثِرُ قَالَتْ «فَأَتَانَا فَوَضَعْنَا لَهُ الْمِيضَأَةَ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ مَرَّةً وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ يَبْدَأُ بِمُؤَخَّرِهِ ثُمَّ رَدَّ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى نَاصِيَتِهِ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا»  

[Machine] I performed wudu (ablution) for the Prophet ﷺ, and I brought him a container of water that held nine or thirteen mud (measurement unit). He said, "Pour it." So, he performed wudu and wiped the front part of his head, and he wiped the outer part of his ears as well as the inner part of them.  

وَضَّأْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِمِيضَأَةٍ تَسَعُ مُدًّا أَوْ مُدًّا وَثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ «اسْكُبِي» فَتَوَضَّأَ وَمَسَحَ مُقَدَّمَ رَأْسِهِ وَمَسَحَ ظَاهَرَ أُذُنَيْهِ وَبَاطِنَهُمَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us, performed ablution, wiped the front part of his head, and wiped the outer part of his ears and the inner part of them.  

أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَمَسَحَ مُقَدَّمَ رَأْسِهِ وَمَسَحَ ظَاهَرَ أُذُنَيْهِ وَبَاطِنَهُمَا  

[Machine] I heard Rubay'ah bint Mu'awwidh ibn 'Afrah saying, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to us, and I would pour water for him, and he would perform ablution at our place, using an amount of water equivalent to one and a half large bowls. I would pour it on his hands three times, then he would put his hands in it and rinse his mouth, sniff water into his nose, and wash his face three times, his hands three times, and wipe his head and ears. Then he would wash his feet three times, three times."  

سَمِعْتُ الرُّبَيِّعَ بِنْتَ مُعَوِّذِ بْنِ عَفْرَاءَ تَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْتِينَا «وَكُنْتُ أَسْكُبُ لَهُ وَضُوءًا فَيَتَوَضَّأُ عِنْدَنَا فِي مِيضَأَةٍ لَنَا قَدْرَ مُدٍّ وَنِصْفٍ وَمُدٍّ وَثُلُثٍ وَكُنْتُ أَسْكُبُ عَلَى كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ أَضَعُهَا لَهُ فَيَتَمَضْمَضُ وَيَسْتَنْشِقُ وَيَغْسِلُ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَيَمْسَحُ رَأْسَهُ وَأُذُنَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا»  

[Machine] About the ablution of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , she said, "Yes, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ performed ablution using a vessel like this, and she pointed with her hand to a spot that takes a handful and one-third for the first washing, as I have seen. He then rinsed his mouth, sniffed water into his nostrils, washed his face and hands three times, wiped the front and back of his head, wiped his ears along with the back of his head, and washed his feet."  

عَنْ وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ «نَعَمْ تَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي نَحْوِ هَذَا الْإِنَاءِ وَهِيَ تُشِيرُ بِيَدِهَا إِلَى رَكْوَةٍ تَأْخُذُ مُدًّا وَثُلُثًا بِالْأَوَّلِ فِيمَا أَرَى فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ مُقَدَّمَ رَأْسِهِ وَمُؤَخَّرَهُ وَمَسَحَ أُذُنَيْهِ مَعَ مُؤَخَّرِ رَأْسِهِ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to us and narrate that he said, "Pour water for ablution." So I poured water for him in a container, which was a pot that holds a measure and one-third or a measure and one-fourth of water. He then said, "Pour on my hand." He washed his hands three times, and then said, "Put." So I handed him the water to perform ablution. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution by washing his face three times, gargling, blowing his nose once, and washing his right hand three times, then washing his left hand three times. He wiped his head twice, starting from the back of his head, then moving to the front, and also wiped both ears. He wiped the back of his neck and the front of it. He then washed his right foot three times, and washed his left foot three times.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْتِينَا فَحَدَّثَتْنَا أَنَّهُ قَالَ «اسْكُبِي وَضُوءًا» فَسَكَبْتُ لَهُ فِي مِيضَأَةٍ وَهِيَ الرَّكْوَةُ تَأْخُذُ مُدًّا وَثُلُثًا أَوْ مُدًّا وَرُبْعًا مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَقَالَ «اسْكُبِي عَلَى يَدِي» فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ ضَعِي قَالَتْ فَتَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ فَوَضَّأَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ مَرَّةً وَوَضَّأَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى ثَلَاثًا وَوَضَّأَ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ يَبْدَأُ بِمُؤَخَّرِ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ بِمُقَدَّمِهِ وَبِأُذُنَيْهِ كِلْتَيْهِمَا ظُهُورِهِمَا وَبُطُونِهِمَا وَوَضَّأَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى ثَلَاثًا وَوَضَّأَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى ثَلَاثًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to us and take a container of water with a sufficient amount, either a measure and a half or two-thirds of a measure. Then he would pour the water upon his hands three times, then he would rinse his mouth, inhale water into his nostrils, and then he would wash his face three times. He would then wipe his head twice and then wash his feet three times, three times.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَأْتِينَا فَآخُذُ مِيضَأَةً لَنَا قَدْرَ مُدٍّ وَنِصْفٍ أَوْ مُدٍّ وَثُلُثٍ فَأَسْكُبُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَيَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَيَتَمَضْمَضُ وَيَسْتَنْشِقُ وَيَغْسِلُ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَمْسَحُ بِرَأْسِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution next to it, then he wiped his head. He wiped his entire head from above the hair in each direction. He did not move the hair from its original position.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «تَوَضَّأَ عِنْدَهَا فَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ فَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ كُلَّهُ مِنْ فَوْقِ الشَّعْرِ كُلُّ نَاحِيَةٍ لِمُنْصَبِّ الشَّعْرِ لَا يُحَرِّكُ الشَّعْرَ عَنْ هَيْئَتِهِ»  

I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performing ablution. He wiped his head front and back, his temples and his ears once. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 129)  

أَنَّهَا رَأَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ قَالَتْ «فَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ مَا أَقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَمَا أَدْبَرَ وَصُدْغَيْهِ وَأُذُنَيْهِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً»  

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fill his hands with water, then wipe his head with the front and back of his hands, and then return to the middle of his head and wipe it. He then took his hands to his ears and wiped the inside and outside of them, and he took the wax from his ears.  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَلَأَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ أَكْفَأَهُ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ مُقَدَّمِهِ وَمُؤَخَّرِهِ ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى وَسَطِ رَأْسِهِ فَمَسَحَ وَأَخَذَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى رَأْسِهِ فَمَسَحَ أُذُنَيْهِ دَاخِلَهُمَا وَخَارِجَهُمَا وَأَخَذَ شَحْمَةَ أُذُنَيْهِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ entered and asked for water for ablution. A container that could hold a mudd and a third, or a mudd and a half, of the Prophet's ﷺ mudd was brought. The Prophet ﷺ performed ablution, washing his face, then washing his hands and wiping his head, and wiping the back of his head until he reached the middle in each wipe.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَدَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَأُتِيَ بِإِنَاءٍ يَسَعُ مُدًّا وَثُلُثًا أَوْ مُدًّا وَنِصْفًا مِنْ مُدِّ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «فَتَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَهُ وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَمَسَحَ مُؤَخَّرَ رَأْسِهِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ وَسَطَهُ فِي كُلِّ مَسْحَةٍ»  

[Machine] I heard Rubayyah, the daughter of Mu'awwidh ibn 'Afra', say: "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performing ablution, then he took fresh water and poured it on his head, wiped the back of his head with his hands, and then brought them forward."  

سَمِعْتُ الرُّبَيِّعَ بِنْتَ مُعَوِّذِ بْنِ عَفْرَاءَ تَقُولُ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «تَوَضَّأَ فَأَخَذَ لِرَأْسِهِ ماءًا جَدِيدًا أَدْبَرَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَأَقْبَلَ بِهِمَا»  

[Machine] We were in the city on the day of Ashura, and the slave girls were beating the duff and singing. Then spring came upon us, so we mentioned it to her. She said, "The messenger of Allah, ﷺ , entered upon me on the morning of my wedding and I had two slave girls who were singing and lamenting my fathers who were killed in Badr, and they were saying…"  

كُنَّا بِالْمَدِينَةِ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ وَالْجَوَارِي يَضْرِبْنَ بِالدُّفِّ ويُغَنِّينَ فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَيْنَا الرَّبِيعُ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلِيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَبِيحَةَ عُرْسِي وَعِنْدِي جَارِيَتَانِ تُغَنِّيَانِ وَتَنْدُبَانِ آبَائِي الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا بِبَدْرٍ وَتَقُولَانِ  

[Machine] I said to Rabee'ah bint Mu'awwidh bin 'Afraa, "Describe to me the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." She replied, "If you had seen him, you would have seen the sun rising."  

قُلْتُ لِلرَّبِيعِ بِنْتِ مُعَوِّذِ بْنِ عَفْرَاءَ صِفِي لِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ «لَوْ رَأَيْتُهُ رَأَيْتُ الشَّمْسَ طَالِعَةً»  

[Machine] Muawwidh bin 'Afra'a sent me with a mask made of wet dates, and on it was a reward of pumpkin fibers, to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Messenger of Allah ﷺ loved pumpkin and it was a pleasant fruit that came from Bahrain. He filled his hand with it and gave it to me.  

بَعَثَنِي مُعَوِّذُ بْنُ عَفْرَاءَ بِقِنَاعٍ مِنْ رُطَبٍ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرٌ مِنْ قِثَّاءٍ زُغْبٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يُحِبُّ الْقِثَّاءَ وَكَانَتْ طَيْبَةُ قَدْ قَدِمَتْ مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ فَمَلَأَ يَدَهُ مِنْهَا فَأَعْطَانِيهَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and entered upon me in the morning after I had built my house. He sat on my bed while my maidens began to beat their tambourines and lament for those who were killed from my father's side on the Day of Badr, until one of them said...  

جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَخَلَ عَلِيَّ صَبِيحَةَ بُنِيَ بِي فَجَلَسَ عَلَى فِرَاشِي فَجَعَلَتْ جُوَيْرِيَاتٍ يَضْرِبْنَ بِدُفٍّ لَهُنَّ وَيَنْدُبْنَ مَنْ قُتِلَ مِنْ آبَائِي يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَتْ إِحْدَاهُنَّ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent on the morning of the day of Ashura to the towns of the Ansar that were around Madinah, saying, "Whoever wakes up fasting should complete his fast, and whoever wakes up without fasting should fast for the rest of the day." So we would fast it, and our young children would also fast. We would make toys for them from wool, and we would take them to the orchard. If any of them cried due to hunger, we would give them that (the toy) until it was time to break the fast.  

أَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَبِيحَةَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ إِلَى قُرَى الْأَنْصَارِ الَّتِي حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ «مَنْ كَانَ أَصْبَحَ صَائِمًا فَلْيُتِمَّ صَوْمَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ أَصْبَحَ مُفْطِرًا فَلْيَصُمْ بَقِيَّةَ يَوْمِهِ» فَكُنَّا نَصُومُهُ وَيَصُومُ صِبْيَانُنَا الصِّغَارُ وَنَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ اللُّعْبَةَ مِنَ الْعِهْنِ وَنَذْهَبُ بِهِنَّ إِلَى الْبُسْتَانِ وَإِذَا بَكَى أَحَدُهُمْ عَلَى الطَّعَامِ أَعْطَيْنَاهُ ذَاكَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ عِنْدَ الْإِفْطَارِ  

[Machine] "We used to accompany the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in battles, not fighting, but providing water to the soldiers and treating the wounded."  

«كُنَّا نَغْزُو مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَا نُقَاتِلُ وَلَكِنْ نَسْقِيهِمْ مِنَ الْمَاءِ وَنُدَاوِي الْجَرْحَى»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "If I wanted to kiss the seal he has between his shoulders, I would have done so." And he said, "On the day Sa’d bin Mu’adh died, the Throne of the Most Merciful shook for him."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَوْ أَشَاءُ أَنْ أُقَبِّلَ الْخَاتَمِ الَّذِي بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ مِنْ قُرْبِي مِنْهُ لَقَبَّلْتُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «لِسَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ يَوْمَ مَاتَ اهْتَزَّ لَهُ عَرْشُ الرَّحْمَنِ»  

[Machine] Did you hear your mother mention anything about fasting on Ashura? She said, "Yes, I heard my mother Ruqayyah say that the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , used to give great importance to it. He would even call his grandchildren and the grandchildren of Fatimah, who were still breastfeeding, on that day. He would put his spittle in their mouths and tell their mothers, 'Do not breastfeed them until nightfall.' His spittle would suffice them."  

سَمِعْتِ أُمَّكِ تَذْكُرُ فِي صَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ سَمِعْتُ أُمِّي رُزَيْنَةَ تَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعَظِّمُهُ حَتَّى إِنْ كَانَ لِيَدْعُو بِصِبْيانِهِ وَصِبْيَانِ فَاطِمَةَ الْمَرَاضِيعِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ فَيَتْفُلُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَيَقُولُ لِأُمَّهَاتِهِمْ «لَا تُرْضِعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ» فَكَانَ رِيقُهُ يُجْزِئُهُمْ  

[Machine] On the Day of the Battle of Quraizah and An-Nadeer, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came with Safiyyah bint Huyayy, and her hand was held by his arm. When she saw the captives, she said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah." So he sent his arm away from his hand and freed her, then he proposed to her, married her, and adorned her with jewelry.  

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ قُرَيْظَةَ وَالنَّضِيرِ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِصَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيٍّ وذِرَاعُها فِي يَدِهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَتِ السَّبْيَ قَالَتْ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ «فَأَرْسَلَ ذِرَاعَهَا مِنْ يَدِهِ وَأَعْتَقَهَا وَخَطَبَها وَتَزَوَّجَهَا وَأَمْهَرَهَا رُزَيْنَةَ»  

[Machine] I was with the Prophet ﷺ when a woman came to him with her son and said, "O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah for blessings for him, as three of my children have already passed away." The Prophet ﷺ asked her, "Since when did you become a Muslim?" She replied, "Yes." He then said, "They are in paradise, safe and protected." A man then said, "Please listen, O Messenger of Allah, to what he says."  

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ بِابْنٍ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللهَ لِي فِيهِ بِالْبَرَكَةِ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ تُوُفِّيَ لِي ثَلَاثَةٌ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتِ؟» قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ «جُنَّةٌ حَصِينَةٌ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ اسْمَعِي يَا رَحْمَا مَا يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ  

Zainab daughter of Abu Salamah asked him: Which name did you give to your daughter? He replied : Barrah. She said: The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) forbade giving this name. I was called Barrah but the Prophet (May peace be upon him) said: Do not declare yourselves pure, for Allah knows best those of you who are obedient. He said: we asked; which name should we give her? He replied: Call her Zainab. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4953)  

أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ سَأَلَتْهُ مَا سَمَّيْتَ ابْنَتَكَ؟ قَالَ سَمَّيْتُهَا بَرَّةَ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ هَذَا الِاسْمِ سَمَّيْتَ بَرَّةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا تُزَكُّوا أَنْفُسَكُمُ اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِأَهْلِ الْبِرِّ مِنْكُمْ» قَالُوا وَمَا نُسَمِّيهَا؟ قَالَ «سَمُّوهَا زَيْنَبَ»  

[Machine] My name was Barrah, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called her Zainab.  

«كَانَ اسْمِي بَرَّةَ فَسَمَّاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ زَيْنَبَ»  

[Machine] She entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was performing ablution. He took a handful of water and splashed it on his face, saying, "Behind you, O Lakaa."  

أَنَّهَا دَخَلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَغْتَسِلُ فَأَخَذَ حِفْنَةً مِنْ مَاءٍ فَضَرَبَ بِهَا وَجْهِي وَقَالَ «وَرَاءَكِ أَيْ لَكَاعِ»  

[Machine] He entered upon Zainab, the daughter of Umm Salamah, and she informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was with Umm Salamah. He entered upon her with Al-Hasan and Al-Husain and Fatimah. He placed Al-Hasan on one of his sides and Al-Husain on the other and Fatimah in his lap. Then he said, "May Allah's mercy and blessings be upon you, O family of the household. Indeed, He is Praiseworthy, Glorious." And Umm Salamah and I were sitting, so Umm Salamah cried. He looked at her and said, "What makes you cry?". She replied, "O Messenger of Allah, you have treated them specially and left me and my daughter." He said, "You and your daughter are from the family of the household."  

أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فَحَدَّثَتْهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ عِنْدَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا بِالْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ وَفَاطِمَةَ فَجَعَلَ الْحَسَنَ مِنْ شِقٍّ وَالْحُسَيْنَ مِنْ شِقٍّ وَفَاطِمَةَ فِي حِجْرِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «رَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ إِنَّهُ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ» وَأَنَا وَأُمُّ سَلَمَةَ جَالِسَتَيْنِ فَبَكَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ «مَا يُبْكِيكِ؟» فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ خَصَصْتَ هَؤُلَاءِ وَتَرَكْتَنِي وابْنَتِي فَقَالَ «أَنْتِ وَابْنَتُكِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ»  

[Machine] My mother used to say, "Go in, and enter," whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would enter to perform ablution. She said, "So I entered and water was poured on my face, then he said, 'Go back.'" Al-Atta' said, my mother said, "So I saw the face of Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) after she had become an old lady, and nothing had decreased from her face."  

كَانَتْ أُمِّي إِذَا دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَغْتَسِلُ يَقُولُ «اذْهَبِي فَادْخُلِي» قَالَتْ فَدَخَلْتُ فَنَضَحَ فِي وَجْهِيَ الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «ارْجِعِي» قَالَ الْعَطَّافُ قَالَتْ أُمِّي «فَرَأَيْتُ وَجْهَ زَيْنَبَ وَهِيَ عَجُوزٌ كَبِيرَةٌ مَا نَقَصَ مِنْ وَجْهِهَا شَيْءٌ»
