When it was the day on which the Battle of Badr was fought, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ cast a glance at the infidels, and they were one thousand while his own Companions were three hundred and nineteen. The Prophet ﷺ turned (his face) towards the Qibla. Then he stretched his hands and began his supplication to his Lord: "O Allah, accomplish for me what Thou hast promised to me. O Allah, bring about what Thou hast promised to me. O Allah, if this small band of Muslims is destroyed. Thou will not be worshipped on this earth." He continued his supplication to his Lord, stretching his hands, facing the Qibla, until his mantle slipped down from his shoulders. So Abu Bakr came to him, picked up his mantle and put it on his shoulders. Then he embraced him from behind and said: Prophet of Allah, this prayer of yours to your Lord will suffice you, and He will fulfill for you what He has promised you. So Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, revealed (the Qur'anic verse): "When ye appealed to your Lord for help, He responded to your call (saying): I will help you with one thousand angels coming in succession." So Allah helped him with angels. Abu Zumail said that the hadith was narrated to him by Ibn ʿAbbas who said: While on that day a Muslim was chasing a disbeliever who was going ahead of him, he heard over him the swishing of the whip and the voice of the rider saying: Go ahead, Haizum! He glanced at the polytheist who had (now) fallen down on his back. When he looked at him (carefully he found that) there was a scar on his nose and his face was torn as if it had been lashed with a whip, and had turned green with its poison. An Ansari came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and related this (event) to him. He said: You have told the truth. This was the help from the third heaven. The Muslims that day (i.e. the day of the Battle of Badr) killed seventy persons and captured seventy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Bakr and ʿUmar (Allah be pleased with them): What is your opinion about these captives? Abu Bakr said: They are our kith and kin. I think you should release them after getting from them a ransom. This will be a source of strength to us against the infidels. It is quite possible that Allah may guide them to Islam. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What is your opinion, Ibn Khattab? He said: Messenger of Allah, I do not hold the same opinion as Abu Bakr. I am of the opinion that you should hand them over to us so that we may cut off their heads. Hand over ʿAqil to ʿAli that he may cut off his head, and hand over such and such relative to me that I may cut off his head. They are leaders of the disbelievers and veterans among them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ approved the opinion of Abu Bakr and did not approve what I said. The next day when I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I found that both he and Abu Bakr were sitting shedding tears. I said: Messenger of Allah, why are you and your Companion shedding tears? Tell me the reason. For I will weep, or I will at least pretend to weep in sympathy with you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I weep for what has happened to your companions for taking ransom (from the prisoners). I was shown the torture to which they were subjected. It was brought to me as close as this tree. (He pointed to a tree close to him.) Then God revealed the verse: "It is not befitting for a prophet that he should take prisoners until the force of the disbelievers has been crushed..." to the end of the verse: "so eat ye the spoils of war, (it is) lawful and pure. So Allah made booty lawful for them."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Makkah for ten years, following the people in their homes in 'Ukaz and Majinah, and during the seasons in Mina. He would say, "Who will shelter and support me? Who will assist me until I deliver the message of my Lord, and he will be rewarded with Paradise?" So much so that a man would come from Yemen or Egypt, and his people would warn him, saying, "Beware of the young boy from Quraysh who will deceive you." But he would walk among them and they would point at him with their fingers. Until Allah sent someone from Yathrib (Medina) and we offered him shelter and believed in him. The man would return to his people, and they would embrace Islam because of him, to the point that there was not a house in Al-Ansar (the supporters) except there were some Muslims living in it. Then, they all came together and said, "Until when shall we leave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being expelled in the mountains of Makkah and living in fear?" Seventy men of us left until we reached him in the season. We made an appointment with the tribes of Al-'Aqabah, and met him there, a group of men and a group of women. We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Why don't we give you our pledge?" He replied, "Give me your pledge based on hearing and obeying, in ease and hardship, in wealth and poverty, and to enjoin good and forbid evil. And that you will say in Allah's cause, fear no blame from anyone, and to help me rather than hinder me when I come to you. If you fulfill this, then it will be better for you before Allah." We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Rain on us your guidance." We swear by Allah, we will never abandon this pledge nor take it away. So we gave him our pledge, and he grasped the hand of As'ad bin Zurarah, who was one of the youngest among us, and said, "O people of Yathrib! We have not aimed against and attacked the backs of camels unless we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . And indeed his leaving today means the tribal fragmentation of the entire Arabs and the killing of your best people. And the swords will bite you, whether you are a people who can endure that or a people who fear from yourselves a decline, clarify it, and it will be more excuse for you before Allah." We said, "Remove from us, O As'ad!" By Allah! We will never abandon this pledge nor seize it away. So we gave him our pledge, and he made a condition and gave us Paradise in return.

[Machine] On the authority of 'Amir, Abu 'Amir, or Abu Malik, that the Prophet ﷺ was sitting in a gathering with his companions when Gabriel came to him in a different form, appearing as a man from the Muslims. Gabriel greeted him and the Prophet ﷺ returned the greeting. Then Gabriel placed his hand on the Prophet's knee and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is Islam?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is to submit your face to Allah, to bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, to establish the prayer, give the obligatory charity (zakat)." Gabriel asked again, "So if I do this, have I become a Muslim?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." Then Gabriel asked, "What is faith?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is to believe in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Divine Books, the prophets, life after death, heaven, hell, and fate, both its good and bad." Gabriel asked again, "So if I do this, have I believed?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." Then Gabriel asked, "What is excellence (ihsan), O Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you do not see Him, then truly He sees you." Gabriel asked again, "So if I do this, have I excelled?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." And we heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ return to him, but we could not see the one speaking to him, nor could we hear his words. The questioner asked, "O Messenger of Allah, when is the Hour?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Glory be to Allah, it has five signs which only Allah knows: Allah possesses knowledge of the Hour, He sends down rain, He knows what is in the wombs, no soul knows what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul knows in which land it will die. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted." (Surah Luqman, 34) The questioner then said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you wish, I can inform you of two signs that will precede it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Inform me." The questioner said, "When you see a slave woman giving birth to her mistress, and when you see the barefooted, naked, impoverished shepherds competing in constructing tall buildings." The questioner asked, "And who are they, O Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "The Bedouins." Then he turned away, and when we did not see him on his way back, we said, "Glory be to Allah! This is Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion. The hand of Muhammad is in the hand of Gabriel, every time he came to him, I had not received any message except that I already knew it, except for this time."

[Machine] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave what he gave from those gifts to the Quraysh and the Arab tribes, the Ansar did not have anything from them. This concern started to occupy the hearts of some of the Ansar until the saying spread among them until some of them said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met his people and Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah entered upon him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, this concern has troubled the hearts of the Ansar indefinitely due to what you distributed of this booty among your people and gave your tribes great gifts, while the Ansar did not receive anything from it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "What about you, O Sa'd?" He replied, "O Messenger of Allah, I am just a man from my people. And who am I?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Gather your people for me in this courtyard." So Sa'd went out and gathered the Ansar in that courtyard. Then some of the Muhajireen entered and Sa'd left them, but when others came, he admitted them. When they had assembled, Sa'd came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "This concern has gathered the Ansar for you, O Messenger of Allah." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and praised Allah and lauded Him appropriately for what He had bestowed on them, then he said, "O Ansar, I was informed of your concern and I found it in your hearts and were you not misguided and then Allah guided you? Were you not destitute and then Allah enriched you? Were you not enemies and then Allah brought your hearts together?" They replied, "Indeed, by Allah and His Messenger!" He said, "Will you not then answer me, O Ansar?" They asked, "And what is it that we should say, O Messenger of Allah, when Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth?" He said, "I swear by Allah, if you had wished, you could have said so, and you would have told the truth and believed. You came to us as liars and we believed you, forsaken and we helped you, fugitive and we sheltered you, and poor and we enriched you. Did you not find in yourselves, O Ansar, a disposition towards this world that I made some people embrace Islam and entrusted you with it? Are you not pleased, O Ansar, that people take away livestock while you return with the Messenger of Allah in your camels? By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, if it were not for migration, I would surely be one of the Ansar. If the people were to take one path and the Ansar another, I would follow the path of the Ansar. O Allah, have mercy on the Ansar and the sons of the Ansar and the sons of the sons of the Ansar." The people began to cry until their tears wet their cheeks, and they said, "We are pleased with the Messenger of Allah's distribution and share." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ departed and the people dispersed."  

لَمَّا أَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا أَعْطَى مِنْ تِلْكَ الْعَطَايَا فِي قُرَيْشٍ وَقَبَائِلِ الْعَرَبِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ وَجَدَ هَذَا الْحَيُّ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ حَتَّى كَثُرَتْ فِيهِمُ الْقَالَةُ حَتَّى قَالَ قَائِلُهُمْ لَقِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَوْمَهُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ هَذَا الْحَيَّ قَدْوَجَدُوا عَلَيْكَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ لِمَا صَنَعْتَ فِي هَذَا الْفَيْءِ الَّذِي أَصَبْتَ قَسَمْتَ فِي قَوْمِكَ وَأَعْطَيْتَ عَطَايَا عِظَامًا فِي قَبَائِلِ الْعَرَبِ وَلَمْ يَكُ فِي هَذَا الْحَيِّ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ شَيْءٌ قَالَ فَأَيْنَ أَنْتَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ يَا سَعْدُ؟ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَنَا إِلَّا امْرُؤٌ مِنْ قَوْمِي وَمَا أَنَا؟ قَالَ فَاجْمَعْ لِي قَوْمَكَ فِي هَذِهِ الْحَظِيرَةِ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ سَعْدٌ فَجَمَعَ الْأَنْصَارَ فِي تِلْكَ الْحَظِيرَةِ قَالَ فَجَاءَ رِجَالٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَتَرَكَهُمْ فَدَخَلُوا وَجَاءَ آخَرُونَ فَرَدَّهُمْ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا أَتَاهُ سَعْدٌ فَقَالَ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَ لَكَ هَذَا الْحَيُّ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ فَأَتَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ بِالَّذِي هُوَ لَهُ أَهْلٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ مَا قَالَةٌ بَلَغَتْنِي عَنْكُمْ وَجِدَةٌ وَجَدْتُمُوهَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَلَمْ آتِكُمْ ضُلَّالًا فَهَدَاكُمُ اللهُ؟ وَعَالَةً فَأَغْنَاكُمُ اللهُ؟ وَأَعْدَاءً فَأَلَّفَ اللهُ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ؟ قَالُوا بَلِ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمَنُّ وَأَفْضَلُ قَالَ أَلَا تُجِيبُونَنِي يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا وَبِمَاذَا نُجِيبُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَلِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ الْمَنُّ وَالْفَضْلُ قَالَ أَمَا وَاللهِ لَوْ شِئْتُمْ لَقُلْتُمْ فَلَصَدَقْتُمْ وَصُدِّقْتُمْ أَتَيْتَنَا مُكَذَّبًا فَصَدَّقْنَاكَ وَمَخْذُولًا فَنَصَرْنَاكَوَطَرِيدًا فَآوَيْنَاكَ وَعَائِلًا فَآسَيْنَاكَ أَوَجَدْتُمْ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ فِي لُعَاعَةٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا تَأَلَّفْتُ بِهَا قَوْمًا لِيُسْلِمُوا وَوَكَلْتُكُمْ إِلَى إِسْلَامِكُمْ؟ أَفَلَا تَرْضَوْنَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالشَّاةِ وَالْبَعِيرِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ فِي رِحَالِكُمْ؟ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْلَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَلَوْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ شِعْبًا وَسَلَكَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ شِعْبًا لَسَلَكْتُ شِعْبَ الْأَنْصَارِ اللهُمَّ ارْحَمِ الْأَنْصَارَ وَأَبْنَاءَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَأَبْنَاءَ أَبْنَاءِ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ فَبَكَى الْقَوْمُ حَتَّى أَخْضَلُوا لِحَاهُمْ وَقَالُوا رَضِينَا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ قِسْمًا وَحَظًّا ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَتَفَرَّقُوا  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ once set out and I accompanied him until we entered the synagogue of the Jews in the city on one of their holidays. They disliked our entering upon them, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them, "O people of the Jews, show me twelve men who bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and Allah will remove His anger from every Jew beneath the sky." They remained silent and none of them answered him. He repeated his request three times, but still none of them gave an answer. Then he said, "You refused. I swear by Allah that I am the Prophet who will lead them to gather and I am the last of them, and I am the chosen Messenger of Allah. Have you believed or denied?" He then turned away and I followed him until we were about to leave, when a man from behind called out, "O Muhammad, come here." He turned and the man said, "Who amongst you knows me, O people of the Jews?" They said, "By Allah, we do not know anyone amongst us who is more knowledgeable about the Book of Allah than you, nor anyone who has a better understanding than you, or anyone who has more knowledge of it than your father or your grandfather." He said, "I bear witness that he is the Prophet of Allah whom you will find mentioned in the Torah." They said, "You are lying." They then rejected what he said and accused him of evil. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You have lied. Your words will not be accepted. In the past, you used to praise and commend him, but now that he has believed in Allah, you accuse him of lying. Your words will not be accepted." We then left, and there were three of us: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Abdullah ibn Salam, and I. Allah revealed about this incident: "Say, 'Have you considered: if the Qur'an was from Allah, and you disbelieved in it while a witness from the Children of Israel has testified to something similar and believed while you were arrogant...?' Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people." (Surah Al-Ahqaf, 46:10)  

انْطَلَقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمًا وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا كَنِيسَةَ الْيَهُودِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ يَوْمَ عِيدٍ لَهُمْ فَكَرِهُوا دُخُولَنَا عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ أَرُونِي اثْنَيْ عَشَرَرَجُلًا يَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ يُحْبِطِ اللهُ عَنْ كُلِّ يَهُودِيٍّ تَحْتَ أَدِيمِ السَّمَاءِ الْغَضَبَ الَّذِي غَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَأَسْكَتُوا مَا أَجَابَهُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ ثَلَّثَ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ أَبَيْتُمْ فَوَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَنَا الْحَاشِرُ وَأَنَا الْعَاقِبُ وَأَنَا النَّبِيُّ الْمُصْطَفَى آمَنْتُمْ أَوْ كَذَّبْتُمْ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كِدْنَا أَنْ نَخْرُجَ نَادَى رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَلْفِنَا كَمَا أَنْتَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ أَيَّ رَجُلٍ تَعْلَمُونَي فِيكُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ؟ قَالُوا وَاللهِ مَا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِينَا رَجُلٌ أَعْلَمُ بِكِتَابِ اللهِ مِنْكَ وَلَا أَفْقَهُ مِنْكَ وَلَا مِنْ أَبِيكَ قَبْلَكَ وَلَا مِنْ جَدِّكَ قَبْلَ أَبِيكَ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ لَهُ بِاللهِ أَنَّهُ نَبِيُّ اللهِ الَّذِي تَجِدُونَهُ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ قَالُوا كَذَبْتَ ثُمَّ رَدُّوا عَلَيْهِ قَوْلَهُ وَقَالُوا فِيهِ شَرًّا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَذَبْتُمْ لَنْ يُقْبَلَ قَوْلُكُمْ أَمَّا آنِفًا فَتُثْنُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ مَا أَثْنَيْتُمْ وَلَمَّا آمَنَ أَكْذَبْتُمُوهُ وَقُلْتُمْ فِيهِ مَا قُلْتُمْ فَلَنْ يُقْبَلَ قَوْلُكُمْ قَالَ فَخَرَجْنَا وَنَحْنُ ثَلَاثَةٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ وَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ فِيهِ {قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ وَكَفَرْتُمْ بِهِ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى مِثْلِهِ فَآمَنَ وَاسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ} [الأحقاف 10]  

[Machine] "I went on a journey with the Prophet ﷺ, and he used to not relieve himself until he disappeared, so he couldn't be seen. We descended into an area without trees or landmarks. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'O Jabir, make water in your waterskin and then set out with us.' So we set out until we couldn't see anything, and suddenly there were two trees with a four-arm gap between them. He said, 'O Jabir, go to that tree and say, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commands you to give me shade for my companions and me.'' So I did, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat behind us. Then we returned to our place, and we rode with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was between us, as if birds were shading us. A woman came with a child and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, the devil takes my son every day three times.' He took the child and placed him between himself and the front of the camel saddle, and he said, 'Get away, O enemy of Allah! I am the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, get away, O enemy of Allah! I am the Messenger of Allah ﷺ,' three times. Then he handed the child back to her. When we finished our journey and passed by that place, the woman came to us with her child and two rams that were pulling them. She said, 'O Messenger of Allah, accept my gift. I swear by the One who sent you with the truth, he has not returned to that condition since you treated him.' He said, 'Take one and return the other.' Then we continued and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was between us, as if birds were shading us. Suddenly, a camel called out until it knelt down between two rocks. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat down and said, 'Who is the owner of this camel?' Some young Ansar men said, 'O Messenger of Allah, it belongs to us.' He asked, 'What is its condition?' They replied, 'We have been tending it for twenty years, and it has a cataract. We wanted to slaughter it and divide it amongst ourselves, but it escaped from us.' He said, 'Sell it to me.' They said, 'No, rather it is for you, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'No, treat it well until its time comes.' The Muslims said at that time, 'O Messenger of Allah, we should be the ones to prostrate to you, not animals.' He said, 'It is not appropriate for anything to prostrate to anything else, even if it were so, women would be prostrating to their husbands.'"  

خَرَجْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ وَكَانَ لَا يَأْتِي الْبَرَازَ حَتَّى يَتَغَيَّبَ فَلَا يُرَى فَنَزَلْنَا بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَجَرَةٌ وَلَا عَلَمٌ فَقَالَ «يَا جَابِرُ اجْعَلْ فِي إِدَاوَتِكَ مَاءً ثُمَّ انْطَلِقْ بِنَا» قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْنَا حَتَّى لَا نُرَى فَإِذَا هُوَ بِشَجَرَتَيْنِ بَيْنَهُمَا أَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ فَقَالَ يَا جَابِرُ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَقُلْ يُقُولُ لَكِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحَقِي بِصَاحِبَتِكِ حَتَّى أَجْلِسَ خَلْفَكُمَا قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهَا فَجَلَسَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَلْفَهُمَا ثُمَّ رَجَعَتَا إِلَى مَكَانِهِمَا فَرَكِبْنَا مَعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ بَيْنَنَا كَأَنَّمَا عَلَيْنَا الطَّيْرُ تُظِلُّنَا فَعَرَضَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ مَعَهَا صَبِيٌّ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ ابْنِي هَذَا يَأْخُذُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ قَالَ فَتَنَاوَلَ الصَّبِيَّ فَجَعَلَهُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ مُقَدَّمِ الرَّحْلِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اخْسَأْ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اخْسَأْ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ أَنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثًا» ثُمَّ دَفَعَهُ إِلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا سَفَرَنَا مَرَرْنَا بِذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ فَعَرَضَتْ لَنَا الْمَرْأَةُ مَعَهَا صَبِيُّهَا وَمَعَهَا كَبْشَانِ تَسُوقُهُمَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اقْبَلْ مِنِّي هَدِيَّتِي فَوَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا عَادَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْدُ فَقَالَ «خُذُوا مِنْهَا وَاحِدًا وَرُدُّوا عَلَيْهَا الْآخَرَ» قَالَ ثُمَّ سِرْنَا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَنَا كَأَنَّمَا عَلَيْنَا الطَّيْرُ تُظِلُّنَا فَإِذَا جَمَلٌ نَادٌّ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بَيْنَ سِمَاطَيْنِ خَرَّ سَاجِدًا فَجَلَسَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلَّى اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وسلَّمَ وَقَالَ عَلَيَّ النَّاسَ «مَنْ صَاحِبُ الْجَمَلِ؟» فَإِذَا فِتْيَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا هُوَ لَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَمَا شَأْنُهُ؟» قَالُوا اسْتَنَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ مُنْذُ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً وَكَانَتْ بِهِ شُحَيْمَةٌ فَأَرَدْنَا أنْ نَنْحَرَهُ فَنَقْسِمَهُ بَيْنَ غِلْمَانِنَا فَانْفَلَتَ مِنَّا قَالَ «بِيعُونِيهِ» قَالُوا لَا بَلْ هُوَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «أَمَّا لَا فَأَحْسِنُوا إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ أَجَلُهُ» قَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِالسُّجُودِ لَكَ مِنَ الْبَهَائِمِ قَالَ «لَا يَنْبَغِي لِشَيْءٍ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِشَيْءٍ وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ النِّسَاءُ لِأَزْوَاجِهِنَّ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions continued on the year of the conquest until they reached Marr Al-Zuhra with ten thousand Muslims. Sulaym and Muzaynah were there, and in every tribe there was a number of people who had embraced Islam. The Muhajirun (emigrants) and the Ansar (helpers) were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and none of them stayed behind. The news about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became unknown to the Quraysh, and they did not receive any information about what he was doing. Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith and Abdullah ibn Abi Umayyah ibn al-Mughirah met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Thaniyyat al-Aqabah on the way from Makkah to Madinah, and they sought permission to enter. Umm Salamah spoke to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is your cousin, the son of your aunt, and your son-in-law." He replied, "I have no need for them. As for my cousin, he has violated my honour, and as for my aunt's son and my son-in-law, he was the one who said to me in Makkah what he said." When the news reached them, Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith had a son who said, "By Allah, the Messenger of Allah will either give permission for me, or I will take his son by the hand, and we will go away and die of thirst or hunger." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard about this, he sent for them, and they entered upon him. Abu Sufyan began reciting poetry about his Islam and his apology for what had happened in the past. He said, "By your life, on the day I carry a flag, the horses of al-Lat will defeat the horses of Muhammad, even if the dark night lasts long. This is the time for truth to guide and direct me. So tell Ta'if that I do not seek to fight them, and tell Ta'if that I am ready for them, guided by someone other than myself, who has guided me to Allah. I will flee quickly and strive to fight against Muhammad, even if I am not related to him. They are a group of people who do not follow their desires, even if they are intelligent and logical." He continued, "I desire for them to be pleased with me, and I will not leave them until I have been guided in every sitting. I was not in the army that gained victory, nor did my tongue bring any good, nor did my hands touch any tribe that came from distant lands, with arrows and swords. Indeed, the one you expelled and insulted will strive hard to seek revenge, not restrained by custom." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard Abu Sufyan recite poetry about himself, he struck him in the chest and said, "You are the one who expelled and insulted me." Ibn Ishaq mentioned, "The mother of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died while she was visiting her relatives from the Banu Najjar tribe."

[Machine] The Prophet (pbuh) and I entered a Jewish synagogue. He said, "O people of Jews, show me twelve men who bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and Allah will remove the anger from any Jew that they are beneath the sky." None of them responded to him, so he said, "Have you denied? By Allah, I am the last, the final, and the chosen Prophet. Have you believed in me, or have you rejected me?" Then we left, and as we were about to exit, a man from behind us said, "O Muhammad, just as you are, how do I know you, O people of Jews?" They replied, "By Allah, we do not know of anyone among us who is more knowledgeable of the Book of Allah than you, nor do we know of anyone who understands it better than you, your father before you, or your grandfather before your father." He said, "Indeed, I bear witness for him with Allah that he is the Prophet of Allah whom you find mentioned in the Torah." They said, "You have lied!" Then they accused him of evil. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "You have lied, and your word will not be accepted. If you praise him when he deserves it, and then deny him when he believes, your word will not be accepted." Then we left, and there were three of us; the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), Abdullah ibn Salam, and myself. Allah revealed in reference to this incident, "Say, 'Have you considered: if it is from Allah and you disbelieved in it?" [Surah Al-Ahqaf: 10]. This hadith is recorded in the collections of Al-Bukhari and Muslim, based on the conditions of both scholars, and they did not exclude it. It is agreed upon that it is a summarized narration from Anas, and Abdullah ibn Salam was mentioned briefly.  

انْطَلَقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا كَنِيسَةَ الْيَهُودِ فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ أَرُونِي اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا يَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَحُطُّ اللَّهُ عَنْ كُلِّ يَهُودِيٍّ تَحْتَ أَدِيمِ السَّمَاءِ الْغَضَبَ الَّذِي غَضِبَ عَلَيْهِمْ» قَالَ فَأُسْكِتُوا مَا أَجَابَهُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ «أَبَيْتُمْ فَوَاللَّهِ لَأَنَا الْحَاشِرُ وَأَنَا الْعَاقِبُ وَأَنَا النَّبِيُّ الْمُصْطَفَى آمَنْتُمْ أَوْ كَذَبْتُمْ» ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى كِدْنَا أَنْ نَخْرُجَ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَلْفِنَا يَقُولُ كَمَا أَنْتَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ أَيُّ رَجُلٍ تَعْلِمُونِي فِيكُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ؟ قَالُوا وَاللَّهِ مَا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِينَا رَجُلٌ أَعْلَمُ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ مِنْكَ وَلَا أَفْقَهُ مِنْكَ وَلَا مِنْ أَبِيكَ قَبْلَكَ وَلَا مِنْ جَدِّكَ قَبْلَ أَبِيكَ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ لَهُ بِاللَّهِ أَنَّهُ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ الَّذِي تَجِدُونَهُ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ فَقَالُوا كَذَبْتَ ثُمَّ رَدُّوا عَلَيْهِ قَوْلَهُ وَقَالُوا فِيهِ شَرًّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَذَبْتُمْ لَنْ يُقْبَلَ قَوْلُكُمْ أَمَّا آنِفًا فَتُثْنُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ مَا أَثْنَيْتُمْ وَأَمَّا إِذَا آمَنَ فَكَذَّبْتُمُوهُ وَقُلْتُمْ فِيهِ مَا قُلْتُمْ فَلَنْ يُقْبَلَ قَوْلُكُمْ» قَالَ فَخَرَجْنَا وَنَحْنُ ثَلَاثَةٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِيهِ {قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ وَكَفَرْتُمْ بِهِ} [الأحقاف 10] الْآيَةَ «صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ إِنَّمَا اتَّفَقَا عَلَى حَدِيثِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَيُّ رَجُلٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ فِيكُمْ مُخْتَصَرًا» على شرط البخاري ومسلم  

[Machine] From his father Rifaa'ah ibn Rafee', who witnessed the Battle of Badr with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : He (the Prophet) and his cousin Mu'adh ibn 'Afra'ah went out until they reached Makkah. When they descended from Thaniyyah, they saw a man under a tree. The Prophet said, "Let us approach this man, so that we may entrust him with our belongings and make Tawaf around the Kaaba." We greeted him with the pre-Islamic form of greeting and he responded to us with the Islamic greeting. We had heard of the Prophet ﷺ , so we denied it and asked him, "Who are you?" He said, "Come down." We descended and said, "Where is the man who claims and says what he says?" He said, "I am him." So I said, "Present yourself to me." He presented Islam to us and said, "Who created the heavens, the earth, and the mountains?" We said, "Allah created them." He said, "Then who created you?" We said, "Allah created us." He said, "Then who created these idols that you worship?" We said, "We made them ourselves." He said, "The Creator is more deserving of worship than the created. You are more deserving of being worshiped, as you made them, but Allah is more deserving of being worshiped than something you made." I invite you to worship Allah alone, testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I am the Messenger of Allah. I also invite you to maintain kinship ties and refrain from oppression and transgression." We said, "By Allah, if what you are calling us to is false, then it would be among the noblest of matters and the best of characters." So we entrusted him with our belongings until we could go to the Kaaba. Mu'adh ibn 'Afra'ah sat with him and said, "I went to the Kaaba, performed Tawaf, and came out with seven cups. I gave him one of them and said, 'O Allah, if what Muhammad is calling to is true, then remove his cup seven times.'" He struck it seven times and each time, it emitted a sound. So I shouted, 'I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.' People gathered around me saying, 'This man is insane, he struck the cup seven times and it still made a sound.' I said, 'No, by Allah, he is a believer.' Then I went up to a high place in Makkah, and when Mu'adh saw me, he said, 'Indeed, Rifaa'ah has come with a face that nothing has ever harmed before.' So I came to him, believed in him, and Allah's Messenger ﷺ taught us Surah Yusuf. We recited, "In the name of your Lord who created" until we reached the verse, "We will return to our family." When we were in 'Aqiq, Mu'adh said, 'I have never spent a night away from my family before, so let me stay here until morning.' So I spent the night with him and I had never done what I did before. Rifaa'ah would always present himself to his people after returning from a journey.

[Machine] He gathered them all that day, and it was nothing but existence until the Day of Resurrection. Then He made them souls, then formed them and gave them the power of speech. And He took from them the covenant and the pledge, and He made them testify upon themselves, "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we testify." [This] lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were unaware of this." Or [lest] you say, "It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?" [Allah] said, "I swear by Myself, and I bear witness on you all the heavens and the earths, and I bear witness upon your father Adam, 'Am I not your Lord?' They said, 'Yes, we testify.' [This] lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, 'Indeed, we were unaware of this.' Or lest you should say, 'It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?' He said, "Indeed, I bear witness over all of you that I am free from whatever you associate with Me. Indeed, the Messengers will come to you with My reminders and My covenant, and they will present My Books to you." They said, "We bear witness that You are our Lord and our God. You have no Lord besides You, and we have no god besides You." And their father Adam raised them, so He looked at them, and He saw richness and poverty, beauty and otherwise. He said, "My Lord, if You had balanced Your servants." He said, "I love to return the gratitude." And among them were seen prophets like bright lamps. They were given a separate covenant in regards to Prophet-hood and Messengership. This is the saying of Allah, the Exalted, "[And mention] when We took from the prophets their covenant and from you and from Noah." (33:7) And His saying, "So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah." (30:30) And His saying, "This is a warner of the warners of old." (53:56) And His saying, "And We had not found for most of them any covenant, but indeed, We found most of them defiantly disobedient." (7:102) And His saying, "Then We sent following their footsteps Our messengers and followed [them] with Jesus, the son of Mary, and gave him the Gospel. And We placed in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy and monasticism, which they innovated; We did not prescribe it for them except that they did so seeking the approval of Allah." So they did not observe it with due observance. (57:27) He knew in His knowledge those who would deny what He would affirm and those who would affirm what He would deny. So the soul of 'Isa was among those souls to which the covenant was taken in the time of Adam. And that soul was then sent to Maryam when He said, "Settle in a place of worship wherein the sun does not rise, and you take a veil from them." So We sent to her Our soul, and it manifested to her in the form of a well-built man. (19:17) Until His saying, "A determined appointment." (19:21) She conceived. He, who spoke to her, was the soul of 'Isa, peace be upon him. Abu Ja'far narrated to me that Ar-Rabi' bin Anas narrated to him from Abu Al-'Aliyah from Ubayy bin Ka'b who said, "He entered it."

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ and I went together until we entered the synagogue of the Jews in the city on their holiday, but they did not like our entry. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them, "O assembly of Jews, show me twelve men who bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, and Allah will remove His anger from any Jew beneath the sky." None of them answered him, so he repeated his request three times, and no one answered him. Then he said, "You have refused, so by Allah, I am the gatherer, the last to live, and the one who will strike with punishment. Have you believed or denied?" Then he left and I was with him until he was about to leave, when a man from behind us said, "As you are, O Muhammad." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who are you, O Jews?" They said, "We do not know of any person among us who is more knowledgeable about the Book of Allah than you, nor more understanding than you or your father before you, or your grandfather before your father." He said, "Then I bear witness for him with Allah that he is the Messenger of Allah whom you find written in the Torah." They said, "You have lied." Then they rejected him and said evil things to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them, "You have lied, and your words will not be accepted. As for now, you praise him with good words when he does something good, but when he believes, you deny him and say what you do not say. Your words will not be accepted." Then we left, and we were three: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Abdullah ibn Salam, and I. Then Allah revealed in this regard the verse: "Say, 'Have you considered: if it is from Allah and you disbelieved in it...?'" (Surah Al-An'am, 6:35).

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was not supported in a place where he was supported in the Battle of Uhud and this was denied to him. Ibn Abbas said, "Between me and those who deny the Book of Allah, Allah says, 'And Allah has already fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing them with His permission.'" Ibn Abbas said, "The word 'until' in the verse means 'until he forgave you'," and this refers to the archers. This is because the Prophet ﷺ had stationed them at their position and he said, 'Protect our backs. If you see us being killed, do not come to our aid, and if you see us being victorious and gaining spoils, do not share with us.' So when Allah granted victory to the Prophet ﷺ and allowed him to attack the disbelievers, the archers left their positions and entered the battlefield to collect spoils, and the rows of the Prophet's companions became scattered. They were in this state when the horses from that location attacked the Prophet's ﷺ companions. They began striking one another, and many Muslims were killed. From the beginning of the day until the time when the standard-bearer of the disbelievers was killed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions faced seven or nine of the enemy's division. The Muslims launched an attack against the horses, but they were not successful. The people said that the cave was beneath them, and the Shaytan shouted, 'Muhammad has been killed, so do not doubt it.' He said, 'And we do not doubt that he has indeed been killed,' until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ emerged between the two mountains and we recognized him by the way he walked. He said, 'So we rejoiced as if we had not been afflicted with what we had been afflicted with.' He said, 'Then he came to us while saying, 'The anger of Allah has intensified over a people who shed the blood of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' And he said again, 'O Allah, they cannot defeat us until they come to us.' So he stayed for an hour, and then Abu Sufyan shouted from beneath the mountain, 'Declare your superiority, O Hubal! Where is the son of Abu Kabsha? Where is the son of Abu Quhafa? Where is the son of Al-Khattab?' Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, shall I answer him?' He said, 'Yes.' So when Abu Sufyan said, Declare your superiority, O Hubal!' Umar said, 'Allah is the Most High and the Most Honorable.' Abu Sufyan said, 'O son of Al-Khattab, you have obtained some good fortune, but today you have come face to face with its like.' Umar said, 'This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, this is Abu Bakr, and this is Umar.' Abu Sufyan said, 'There are days that alternate with one another, and this is a battle where lives are lost.' Umar said, 'Killing us does not compare to being killed in Paradise.' Abu Sufyan said, 'You believe that?' Umar said, 'Indeed, if that is what you think, then we have lost and been defeated.' Then Abu Sufyan said, 'You will find in our killing you similar to our being killed.' And this was not according to our opinion. Then he was met by Hamiyah, the chief of the idolaters, and he said, 'Indeed, what you have said is something we do not deny.'"

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ once set out and I was with him until we entered the synagogue of the Jews on their festival day. They disliked his entering upon them, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Jews, show me twelve men among you who testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, so that Allah may remove the wrath from every Jew under the sky." They remained silent and none of them answered. Then he repeated his request three times, but no one answered him. He said, "Have you repudiated? By Allah, I am the Caller; I am the Seal and I am the Embosser. Have you believed or denied?" Then he left and I was with him until we almost reached the exit, when a man called from behind him, saying, "As you are, O Muhammad." So he turned and said, "Who is that man? O Jews, do you know him among you?" They said, "By Allah, we do not know anyone among us who is more knowledgeable than you in the Book of Allah, or more understanding than you, or more knowledgeable than your father before you, or more knowledgeable than your grandfather before your father." He said, "Then I testify for him by Allah, that he is the Prophet of Allah whom you find in the Torah." They said, "You have lied." Then they refuted him and said evil things about him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You have lied, we will not accept your statement." Then we left, and it was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Ibn Salam, and I. And Allah revealed, (Say: 'Have you considered: if it is from Allah and you disbelieve in it, and a witness from the Children of Israel testifies to its similarity and has believed, while you are arrogant...') [Sahih al-Bukhari] [Sahih Muslim]  

انْطَلَقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمًا وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا كَنِيسَةَ الْيَهُودِ يَوْمَ عِيدِهِمْ فَكَرِهُوا دُخُولَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ أَرُونِيَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا مِنْكُمْ يَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ يَحُطُّ اللهُ عَنْ كُلِّ يَهُودِيِّ تَحْتَ أَدِيمِ السَّمَاءِ الْغَضَبَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ» فَأَسْكَتُوا مَا أَجَابَهُ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ ثَلَّثَ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ «أَبَيْتُمْ فَوَاللهِ لَأَنَا الْحَاشِرُ وَأَنَا الْعَاقِبُ وَأَنَا الْمُقَفِّي آمَنْتُمْ أَوْ كَذَّبْتُمْ» ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى أَنَّنَا كِدْنَا أَنْ نَخْرُجَ نَادَى رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ فَقَالَ كَمَا أَنْتَ يَا مُحَمَّدٌ فَأَقْبَلَ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ الرَّجُلُ أَيُّ رَجُلٍ تَعْلَمُونَ فِيكُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ؟ قَالُوا وَاللهِ مَا نَعْلَمُ فِينَا رَجُلًا كَانَ أَعْلَمُ بِكِتَابِ اللهِ وَلَا أَفْقَهُ مِنْكَ وَلَا مِنْ أَبِيكَ قَبْلَكَ وَلَا مِنْ جَدِّكَ قَبْلَ أَبِيكَ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ لَهُ بِاللهِ أَنَّهُ نَبِيُّ اللهِ الَّذِي تَجِدُونَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ قَالُوا كَذَبْتَ ثُمَّ رُدُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَقَالُوا فِيهِ شَرًّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كَذَبْتُمْ لَنْ نَقْبَلَ قَوْلَكُمْ» قَالَ فَخَرَجْنَا وَنَحْنُ ثَلَاثَةٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا وَابْنُ سَلَامٍ وَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ وَكَفَرْتُمْ بِهِ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى مِثْلِهِ فَآمَنَ وَاسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ}  

[Machine] The following passage has been translated into English:

"He deserves this position more than those people or the group who were present when the Messenger of Allah passed away, and he was pleased with them. He named Ali, Uthman, Zubair, Talha, Saad, and Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf. He said, 'I bear witness to you, Abdullah Ibn Umar, even though he has no authority in this matter, like the consolation for him.' He also said, 'If the leadership falls into the hands of Saad, then that is good. Otherwise, let him seek the help of whichever one of you he is commanded to.' He said, 'I am not dismissing him due to any disability or betrayal.' He also said, 'I advise the caliph after me regarding the early migrants to acknowledge their rights and protect their sanctity. And I advise him concerning the Ansar, who took on the burden of the home and faith before them, to accept their kindness and pardon their mistakes. And I advise him regarding the people of the provinces, as they are the support of Islam, collectors of wealth, and the anger of the enemies. And let nothing be taken from them except their surplus beyond what pleases them. And I advise him regarding the Bedouins, as they are the roots of the Arabs and the backbone of Islam. Let their surplus be taken from the outskirts of their wealth and distributed to their poor. And I advise him regarding the covenant of Allah and the covenant of His Messenger, to fulfill their promise to them. And I advise him to fight from behind them and to not burden them beyond their capability.' When he passed away, we carried out his will and started walking. He mentioned the incident while burying him. He said, 'When we finished burying him and returned, this group of people assembled.' Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf said, 'Let's leave this matter to three of you.' Az-Zubair said, 'I have entrusted my matter to Ali.' Talha said, 'I have entrusted my matter to Uthman.' Saad said, 'I have entrusted my matter to Abdul Rahman.' Abdul Rahman said, 'Which one of you will absolve himself of this matter so that we can entrust it to him?' By Allah, he will judge with his own understanding and work diligently for the good of the nation. He said, 'The two sheikhs kept quiet.' Abdul Rahman said, 'Are you entrusting it to me? By Allah, I will not fail in fulfilling your best interests.' They said, 'Yes.' Abdul Rahman took the hand of one of them and said, 'You are from the close relatives of the Messenger of Allah and have a distinguished position in Islam. I have full confidence that if I appointed you, you would make justice your priority. And if I appointed Uthman, you would listen and obey him.' Then, he went to the other and said the same. When he made an agreement, he said to Uthman, 'Raise your hand, O Uthman,' and he pledged allegiance to him. Ali also pledged allegiance to him, and the people of the house pledged allegiance to him."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an army to Banu al-Anbar. They captured them at Rukbah in the suburbs of at-Ta'if and drove them to the Holy Prophet ﷺ. I rode hurriedly to the Holy Prophet ﷺ and said: Peace be on you, Messenger of Allah, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Your contingent came to us and arrested us, but we had already embraced Islam and cut the sides of the ears of our cattle. When Banu al-Anbar arrived, the Holy Prophet ﷺ said to me: Have you any evidence that you had embraced Islam before you were captured today? I said: Yes. He said: Who is your witness? I said: Samurah, a man from Banu al-Anbar, and another man whom he named. The man testified but Samurah refused to testify. The Holy Prophet ﷺ said: He (Samurah) has refused to testify for you, so take an oath with your other witness. I said: Yes. He then dictated an oath to me and I swore to the effect that we had embraced Islam on a certain day, and that we had cut the sides of the ears of the cattle. The Holy Prophet ﷺ said: Go and divide half of their property, but do not touch their children. Had Allah not disliked the wastage of action, we should not have taxed you even a rope. Zubayb said: My mother called me and said: This man has taken my mattress. I then went to the Holy Prophet ﷺ and informed him. He said to me: Detain him. So I caught him with a garment around his neck, and stood there with him . Then the Holy Prophet ﷺ looked at us standing there. He asked: What do you intend (doing) with your captive? I said: I shall let him go free if he returns to this (man) the mattress of his mother which he has taken from her. He said: Prophet of Allah ﷺ, I no longer have it. He said: The Holy Prophet ﷺ took the sword of the man and gave it to me, and said to him: Go and give him some sa's of cereal. So he gave me some sa's of barley.

أَجَابَهُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ، ثُمَّ ثَلَّثَ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ، فَقَالَ: أَبَيْتُمْ: فَوَالله إِنِّى لأَنَا الْحَاشِرُ الْعَاقِبُ، وَأَنَا الْمُقَضىِّ النَّبِىُّ الْمُصْطَفى آمَنْتُمْ أَوْ كَذَّبْتُمْ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى كِدْنَا أَنْ نَخْرُجَ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَلْفِنَا فَقَالَ: كَمَا أَنْتَ مُحَمَّدُ، فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ: أَىُّ رَجُلٍ تَعْلَمُونِى يَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ قَالُوا: وَالله مَا نَعْلَمُ فِينَا رَجُلًا أَعْلَمَ بِكِتَابِ الله وَلَا الله مِنْكَ، وَلَا مِنْ أَبِيكَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ، وَلَا مِنْ جَدِّكَ قَبْلَ أَبِيكَ، قَالَ: فَإِنِّى أَشْهَدُ لَهُ بِالله أَنَّهُ نَبِىُّ الله الَّذِى تَجِدُونَهُ فِى التَّوْرَاةِ، قَالُوا لَهُ: كَذَبْتَ ثُمَّ رَدُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَقَالُوا فِيهِ شَرّا، قَالَ رسَولُ الله ﷺ كَذَبْتُمْ فَلَنْ يُقْبَلَ قَوْلُكُمْ أَمَّا آنِفًا فَتُثْنُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ مَا أَثْنَيْتُمْ، وَأَمَّا إِذَا آمَنَ كَذَّبْتُمُوهُ وَقُلْتُمْ فِيهِ مَا قُلْتُمْ فَلَنْ يُقْبَلَ قَوْلُكُمْ، فَخَرَجْنَا وَنَحْنُ ثَلَاثَةٌ: رَسُولُ الله ﷺ وَأَنَا وَعَبْدُ الله بْنُ سَلَامٍ، فَأُنْزِلَ فِيهِ {قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ وَكَفَرْتُمْ بِهِ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ} ".  

"عَنْ أبِى سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: لَما قَسَّمَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ السَّبْىَ بالجُعْرَانَة أعْطَى عَطَايَا قُريش وغيرهَا مِن العَرب، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ في الأنْصَارِ مِنْهَا شَىْء، فَكثُرَتْ القَالَةُ وَفَشتْ حَتَّى قَالَ قَائِلُهُم: أمَّا رسُولُ الله ﷺ فَقَد لَقى قَوْمَهُ فَأرْسَلَ إِلَى سَعْدِ بن عُبَادَةَ فَقَالَ: مَا مَقَالَةٌ بلغتنى عَن قَوْمِكَ أكْثَرُوا فِيهَا، فَقَالَ لَه سَعْدٌ: فَقَدْ كَانَ مَا بَلَغَكَ، قَالَ: فَأين أنتَ مِنْ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ: مَا أنا إلَّا رَجُل مِنْ قومِى فَاشْتَدَ غَضَبُهُ وَقَالَ: اجْمَعْ قَوْمَكَ ولا يَكُنْ مَعَهُم غَيْرهُم، فَجَمعَهم في حظيرة منَ حظائر السَّبْي، فَقَامَ عَلَى بَابِهَا وجَعَل لَا يَتْرُكُ إلا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ، وَقد تَركَ رِجَالًا مِنَ المهاجرِينَ ورد أناسا، ثُمَّ جَاءَ النَّبي ﷺ يُعْرفُ في وَجْهِه الغَضَبُ، فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الأنْصَارِ ألمْ أجِدكُم ضلالا فَهَداكُم الله -تَعَالى-؟ فَجعلوا يَقُولُونَ: نعُوذُ بِالله مِنْ غَضب الله -تَعَالَى- وَمن غَضَبِ رسُولِهِ، قَالَ: ألَا تُجيبُون؟ قَالُوا: الله ورسُولُهُ أمن وأفضَلُ قَالَ: فَلَمَّا سُرِّىَ عَنْهُ قَالَ: وَلو شِئْتُمْ لَقُلتُم فَصَدقْتُم وتَصَدّقْتُم، ألم نَجدك طريدًا فآويناك، ومُكذبا فَصَدَّقْنَاكَ، وعائلًا فآسَيْناكَ، وَمخذُولا فَنَصَرْناكَ، فَجعلُوا يبكون وَيقُولُونَ: الله وَرَسُولُه أمَنُّ وأفْضَلُ، أَوجدتُم مِنْ شَئ مِنْ دُنَيا أعْطَيْتُها قَومًا أتَألفهم الإسْلَامَ، وَوَكَلتُكُم إِلى إسْلَامِكُم، لَو سَلَكَ الناسُ وَادِيًا أَوْ شِعْبًا وَسَلكتُم واديًا أو شِعْبًا لَسَلكْتُ واديكُم أو شِعْبِكُم، أنْتُم شِعار والناسُ دِثَار وَلولَا الهِجْرة لَكنتُ امرءًا مِن الأنْصَارِ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى إِنِي لأرَى مَا تَحْتَ مِنْكَبيْه قَالَ: اللَّهم اغْفِرْ للأنْصَار (ولأبناء الأنصار)، ولأبْنَاءِ أبْنَاءِ الأنْصارِ، أما تَرْضَونَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ الناسُ بالشَّاة والبعير، وتَذْهَبُون بِرسُولِ الله ﷺ إلى بيوتِكُم، فَبَكَى القومُ حَتَّى أخْضَلُوا لحاهم، وانْصَرفُوا وَهُم يَقُولُون: رَضِينا بالله وبرسُولِه حَظًا وَنصِيبًا"
