that he remembered Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he also remembered a mouthful of water which he had thrown on his face, after taking it from a well that was in their house. Mahmud said that he had heard ʿItban bin Malik, who was present with Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the battle of Badr saying, "I used to lead my people at Bani Salim in the prayer and there was a valley between me and those people. Whenever it rained it used to be difficult for me to cross it to go to their mosque. So I went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'I have weak eyesight and the valley between me and my people flows during the rainy season and it becomes difficult for me to cross it; I wish you would come to my house and pray at a place so that I could take that place as a praying place.' Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I will do so.' So Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr came to my house in the (next) morning after the sun had risen high. Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked my permission to let him in and I admitted him. He did not sit before saying, 'Where do you want us to offer the prayer in your house?' I pointed to the place where I wanted him to pray. So Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up for the prayer and started the prayer with Takbir and we aligned in rows behind him; and he offered two rakʿat, and finished them with Taslim, and we also performed Taslim with him. I detained him for a meal called "Khazir" which I had prepared for him.--("Khazir" is a special type of dish prepared from barley flour and meat soup)-- When the neighbors got the news that Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in my house, they poured it till there were a great number of men in the house. One of them said, 'What is wrong with Malik, for I do not see him?' One of them replied, 'He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Apostle.' On that Allah's Apostle said, 'Don't say this. Haven't you seen that he said, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah for Allah's sake only.' The man replied, 'Allah and His Apostle know better; but by Allah, we never saw him but helping and talking with the hypocrites.' Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, 'No doubt, whoever says. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and by that he wants the pleasures of Allah, then Allah will save him from Hell." Mahmud added, "I told the above narration to some people, one of whom was Abu Aiyub, the companion of Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the battle in which he (Abu Aiyub) died and Yazid bin Mu'awiya was their leader in Roman Territory. Abu Aiyub denounced the narration and said, 'I doubt that Messenger of Allah ﷺ ever said what you have said.' I felt that too much, and I vowed to Allah that if I remained alive in that holy battle, I would (go to Medina and) ask ʿItban bin Malik if he was still living in the mosque of his people. So when he returned, I assumed Ihram for Hajj or ʿUmra and then I proceeded on till I reached Medina. I went to Bani Salim and ʿItban bin Malik, who was by then an old blind man, was leading his people in the prayer. When he finished the prayer, I greeted him and introduced myself to him and then asked him about that narration. He told that narration again in the same manner as he had narrated it the first time."

Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent out ten spies under the command of ʿAsim bin Thabit Al-Ansari, the grand-father of ʿAsim bin ʿUmar Al-Khattab. When they reached (a place called) Al-Hadah between 'Usfan and Mecca, their presence was made known to a sub-tribe of Hudhail called Banu Lihyan. So they sent about one hundred archers after them. The archers traced the footsteps (of the Muslims) till they found the traces of dates which they had eaten at one of their camping places. The archers said, "These dates are of Yathrib (i.e. Medina)," and went on tracing the Muslims' footsteps. When ʿAsim and his companions became aware of them, they took refuge in a (high) place. But the enemy encircled them and said, "Come down and surrender. We give you a solemn promise and covenant that we will not kill anyone of you." ʿAsim bin Thabit said, "O people! As for myself, I will never get down to be under the protection of an infidel. O Allah! Inform your Prophet about us." So the archers threw their arrows at them and martyred ʿAsim. Three of them came down and surrendered to them, accepting their promise and covenant and they were Khubaib, Zaid bin Ad-Dathina and another man. When the archers got hold of them, they untied the strings of the arrow bows and tied their captives with them. The third man said, "This is the first proof of treachery! By Allah, I will not go with you for I follow the example of these." He meant the martyred companions. The archers dragged him and struggled with him (till they martyred him). Then Khubaib and Zaid bin Ad-Dathina were taken away by them and later on they sold them as slaves in Mecca after the event of the Badr battle. The sons of Al-Harit bin ʿAmr bin Naufal bought Khubaib for he was a person who had killed (their father) Al-Hari bin ʿAmr on the day (of the battle) of Badr. Khubaib remained imprisoned by them till they decided unanimously to kill him. One day Khubaib borrowed from a daughter of Al-Harith, a razor for shaving his pubic hair, and she lent it to him. By chance, while she was inattentive, a little son of hers went to him (i.e. Khubaib) and she saw that Khubaib had seated him on his thigh while the razor was in his hand. She was so much terrified that Khubaib noticed her fear and said, "Are you afraid that I will kill him? Never would I do such a thing." Later on (while narrating the story) she said, "By Allah, I had never seen a better captive than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I saw him eating from a bunch of grapes in his hand while he was fettered with iron chains and (at that time) there was no fruit in Mecca." She used to say," It was food Allah had provided Khubaib with." When they took him to Al-Hil out of Mecca sanctuary to martyr him, Khubaib requested them. "Allow me to offer a two-rakʿat prayer." They allowed him and he prayed two rakʿat and then said, "By Allah! Had I not been afraid that you would think I was worried, I would have prayed more." Then he (invoked evil upon them) saying, "O Allah! Count them and kill them one by one, and do not leave anyone of them"' Then he recited: "As I am martyred as a Muslim, I do not care in what way I receive my death for Allah's Sake, for this is for the Cause of Allah. If He wishes, He will bless the cut limbs of my body." Then Abu Sarva, 'Ubqa bin Al-Harith went up to him and killed him. It was Khubaib who set the tradition of praying for any Muslim to be martyred in captivity (before he is executed). The Prophet ﷺ told his companions of what had happened (to those ten spies) on the same day they were martyred. Some Quraish people, being informed of ʿAsim bin Thabit's death, sent some messengers to bring a part of his body so that his death might be known for certain, for he had previously killed one of their leaders (in the battle of Badr). But Allah sent a swarm of wasps to protect the dead body of ʿAsim, and they shielded him from the messengers who could not cut anything from his body.

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

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

the first man who discussed Qadar (Divine Decree) in Baṣrah was Maʿbad al-Juhanī. I along with Ḥumayd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Ḥimyarī set out for pilgrimage or for ʿUmrah and said: Should it so happen that we come into contact with one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we shall ask him about what is talked about Qadar. Accidentally we came across ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb, while he was entering the mosque. My companion and I surrounded him. One of us ˹stood˺ on his right and the other stood on his left. I expected that my companion would authorize me to speak. I, therefore, said: Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, there have appeared some people in our land who recite the Quran and pursue knowledge. And then after talking about their affairs, added: They claim that there is no such thing as Qadar and events are not predestined. He said: When you happen to meet such people tell them that I have nothing to do with them and they have nothing to do with me. And verily they are in no way responsible for my ˹belief˺. ʿAbdullāh b ʿUmar swore by Allah: If any one of them had with him gold equal to the bulk of ˹the mountain˺ Uḥud and spent it ˹for the sake of Allah˺, Allah would not accept it unless he affirmed his faith in the Qadar.

He further said: My father, ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb, told me: One day we were sitting in the company of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when there appeared before us a man dressed in pure white clothes. His hair was extraordinarily black. There were no signs of travel on him. None amongst us recognized him. At last, he sat with the Prophet ﷺ. He knelt before him placed his palms on his thighs,

then said: Muhammad, inform me about Islam. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Islam implies that: (1) you testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and (2) you establish prayer, (3) pay Zakat, (4) observe the fast of Ramadan, and (5) perform pilgrimage to the (House) if you are solvent enough ˹to bear the expense of˺ the journey. ˹The inquirer˺ said: You have told the truth. ˹ʿUmar˺ said: It amazed us that he would put the question and then he would himself verify the truth.

˹The inquirer˺ said: Inform me about Iman (faith). He replied: That (1) you affirm your faith in Allah, (2) in His angels, (3) in His Books, (4) in His Apostles, (5) in the Day of Judgment, and (6) you affirm your faith in the Divine Decree about good and evil. ˹The inquirer˺ said: You have told the truth.

˹The inquirer˺ again said: Inform me about Iḥsān (excellence in deeds). He said: That (1) you worship Allah as if you are seeing Him, (2) for though you don't see Him, He, verily, sees you.

˹The inquirer˺ again said: Inform me about the Hour (of the Last Day). He remarked: One who is asked knows no more than the one who is inquiring. ˹The inquirer˺ said: Tell me some of its indications. He said: That (1) the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress and master, that (2) you will find barefooted, destitute goat herders vying with one another in the construction of magnificent buildings.

˹ʿUmar˺ said: Then ˹the inquirer˺ went on his way but I stayed with (the Prophet) for a long while. He then, said to me: "ʿUmar, do you know who this inquirer was?" I replied: Allah and His Messenger know best. He remarked: "He was Jibrīl (Angel Gabriel). He came to you in order to teach you in your religion."  

كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ قَالَ فِي الْقَدَرِ بِالْبَصْرَةِ مَعْبَدٌ الْجُهَنِيُّ۔ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَحُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ حَاجَّيْنِ أَوْ مُعْتَمِرَيْنِ، فَقُلْنَا لَوْ لَقِينَا أَحَدًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَمَّا يَقُولُ هَؤُلاَءِ فِي الْقَدَرِ۔ فَوُفِّقَ لَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ دَاخِلاً الْمَسْجِدَ فَاكْتَنَفْتُهُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبِي أَحَدُنَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَالآخَرُ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ۔ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ صَاحِبِي سَيَكِلُ الْكَلاَمَ إِلَىَّ۔ فَقُلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: إِنَّهُ قَدْ ظَهَرَ قِبَلَنَا نَاسٌ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَتَقَفَّرُونَ الْعِلْمَ وَذَكَرَ مِنْ شَأْنِهِمْ وَأَنَّهُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنْ لاَ قَدَرَ، وَأَنَّ الأَمْرَ أُنُفٌ۔ قَالَ: فَإِذَا لَقِيتَ أُولَئِكَ فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِنْهُمْ وَأَنَّهُمْ بُرَآءُ مِنِّي، وَالَّذِي يَحْلِفُ بِهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ لَوْ أَنَّ لأَحَدِهِمْ مِثْلَ أُحُدٍ ذَهَبًا فَأَنْفَقَهُ، مَا قَبِلَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ۔

ثُمَّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِذْ طَلَعَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ شَدِيدُ بَيَاضِ الثِّيَابِ، شَدِيدُ سَوَادِ الشَّعَرِ۔ لاَ يُرَى عَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ السَّفَرِ وَلاَ يَعْرِفُهُ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ۔ حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَسْنَدَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ إِلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَوَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ۔

وَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإِسْلاَمِ۔ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «الإِسْلاَمُ (١) أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، (٢) وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلاَةَ، (٣) وَتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ، (٤) وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ، (٥) وَتَحُجَّ الْبَيْتَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلاً۔» قَالَ: صَدَقْتَ۔ قَالَ: فَعَجِبْنَا لَهُ يَسْأَلُهُ وَيُصَدِّقُهُ!

قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإِيمَانِ۔ قَالَ: «أَنْ (١) تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ، (٢) وَمَلاَئِكَتِهِ، (٣) وَكُتُبِهِ، (٤) وَرُسُلِهِ، (٥) وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ، (٦) وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ۔» قَالَ: صَدَقْتَ۔

قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإِحْسَانِ۔ قَالَ: «أَنْ (١) تَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ، (٢) فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ۔»

قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ السَّاعَةِ۔ قَالَ: «مَا الْمَسْئُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنَ السَّائِلِ۔» قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ أَمَارَتِهَا۔ قَالَ: «أَنْ تَلِدَ الأَمَةُ رَبَّتَهَا، وَأَنْ تَرَى الْحُفَاةَ الْعُرَاةَ الْعَالَةَ رِعَاءَ الشَّاءِ يَتَطَاوَلُونَ فِي الْبُنْيَانِ۔»

قَالَ: ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ فَلَبِثْتُ مَلِيًّا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا عُمَرُ أَتَدْرِي مَنِ السَّائِلُ؟» قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ۔ قَالَ: «فَإِنَّهُ جِبْرِيلُ أَتَاكُمْ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ دِينَكُمْ۔»  

"The first person to speak about Al-Qadar was Ma'bad Al-Juhani." He said: "Humaid bin Abdur-Rahman Al-Himyari and I went out until we reached Al-Madinah, and we said: 'If we could only meet someone among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ so we could ask him about what those people have innovated." [He said:] "So we met him - meaning Abdullah bin 'Umar - while he was leaving the Masjid." [He said:] "My companion and I were on either side of him." [He said:] I thought my companion was going to leave the speaking to me so I said: "O Abu Abdur-Rahman! There is a group of people who recite the Qur'an and seek knowledge, and they claim there is no Al-Qadar, and that the affair is left to chance.' He said: "Whenever you meet those people, then tell them that I am not of them and they are not of me. By the One Whom Abdullah swears by! If one of them were to spend gold the like of Uhud (mountain) in charity, it would not be accepted from him until he believes in Al-Qadar; the good of it and the bad of it.'" He said: "Then he began to narrate, he said: "'Umar bin Al-Khattab said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah when a man came with extremely white garments, and extremely black hair. He had no appearance of traveling visible on him, yet none of us recognized him. He came until he reached the Prophet ﷺ. He put his knees up against his knees, and then said: "O Muhammad! What is Iman?' He said 'To believe in Allah, His Angels, His, Books, His Messengers, the Day of Judgement, and Al-Qadar, the good of it and the bad of it.' He said: 'Then what is Islam?' He said: 'Testifying to La Ilaha Illallah, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, establishing the Salat, giving the Zakat, performing Hajj to the House, and fasting (the month of) Ramadan.' He said: 'Then what is Ihsan?' He said 'That (is) you worship Allah as if you see Him, and although you do not see Him, He certainly sees you.' He said: 'For all of those he replied to him: 'You have told the truth.'" He said: "So we were amazed at him, he would ask, and then tell him that he is telling the truth. He said: 'Then when is the Hour?' He ﷺ said: 'The one being asked knows no more than the questioner.' He said: 'Then what are its signs?' He said: 'That the slave woman gives birth to her master, and that the naked, poor, and bare-footed shepherds rival each other in the height of the buildings.'" 'Umar said: 'Then the Prophet ﷺ met me three days after that and said: 'O 'Umar! Do you know who the questioner was? It was Jibril. He came to teach you about the matters of your religion.'"

[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] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spent ten years following the pilgrims in their dwellings during the pilgrimage season, at Majannah, at 'Ukaz, and in their dwellings in Mina. He would say, "Who will give me shelter? Who will assist me until I deliver the messages of my Lord, and paradise will be theirs?" He did not find anyone who would assist and shelter him. Even when a man would leave Muzdalifah or Yemen and come to their people, they would say, "Beware of the youth from Quraysh, he will lead you astray," while he walked among them and called them to Allah, pointing at them with his fingers. Until Allah sent us to him from Yathrib, a man came to him and believed in him, and he recited the Quran to him, then he returned to his family and they accepted Islam. Soon, there was no house in the dwellings of Yathrib except that it had a group of Muslims who openly displayed Islam. Then Allah completed His favor upon us, and we gathered together, seventy men from our community, and we said, "How long will the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be expelled in the mountains of Makkah and live in fear?" So we set out until we reached him during the pilgrimage season, and we made an appointment with the people of Aqabah. His uncle, Al-Abbas, said to him, "O nephew, I do not know who these people are who have come to you. I am familiar with the people of Yathrib, so we gathered with them, one man and two men. When Al-Abbas saw our faces, he said, 'These are unknown people, they are young.' We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, why should we swear allegiance to you?' He said, 'Swear allegiance to me on hearing and obeying, in times of both energy and laziness, in easy and difficult times, in promoting what is good and forbidding what is evil, and in defending me if I come to Yathrib, even if it means denying yourselves, your wives, and your children. Paradise will be yours.' So we gave him our pledge, and As'ad bin Zurarah, who was the youngest of the seventy, took his hand and said, 'By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, remove your hand from us. We will not abandon this pledge, nor will we revoke it.' So we went to him one by one, and each of us pledged allegiance to him on the terms of al-Abbas, and in return, he bestowed paradise upon us."

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed Allah commanded Yahya bin Zakariyya with five commandments to abide by, and to command the Children of Isra'il to abide by them. But he was slow in doing so. So 'Eisa said: 'Indeed Allah commanded you with five commandments to abide by and to command the Children of Isra'il to abide by. Either you command them, or I shall command them.' So Yahya said: 'I fear that if you precede me in this, then the earth may swallow me, or I shall be punished.' So he gathered the people in Jerusalem, and they filled [the Masjid] and sat upon its balconies. So he said: 'Indeed Allah has commanded me with five commandments to abide by, and to command you to abide by. The first of them is that you worship Allah and not associate anything with him. The parable of the one who associates others with Allah is that of a man who buys a servant with his own gold or silver, then he says to him: "This is my home and this is my business so take care of it and give me the profits." So he takes care of it and gives the profits to someone other than his master. Which of you would live to have a servant like that? And Allah commands you to perform Salat, and when you perform Salat then do not turn away, for Allah is facing the face of His worshipers as long as he does not turn away. And He commands you with fasting. For indeed the parable of fasting, is that of a man in a group with a sachet containing musk. All of them enjoy its fragrance. Indeed the breath of the fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the scent of musk. And He commands you to give charity. The parable of that, is a man captured by his enemies, tying his hands to his neck, and they come to him to beat his neck. Then he said: "I can ransom myself from you with a little or a lot" so he ransoms himself from them. And He commands you to remember Allah. For indeed the parable of that, is a man whose enemy quickly tracks him until he reaches an impermeable fortress in which he protects himself from them. This is how the worshiper is; he does not protect himself from Ash-Shaitan except by the remembrance of Allah.'" The Prophet ﷺ said: "And I command you with five that Allah commanded me: Listening and obeying, Jihad, Hijrah, and the Jama'ah.

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ أَمَرَ يَحْيَى بْنَ زَكَرِيَّا بِخَمْسِ كَلِمَاتٍ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ بِهِنَّ وَأَنْ يَأْمُرَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا بِهِنَّ فَكَادَ أَنْ يُبْطِئَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عِيسَى إِنَّكَ قَدْ أُمِرْتَ بِخَمْسِ كَلِمَاتٍ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ بِهِنَّ وَأَنْ تَأْمُرَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا بِهِنَّ فَإِمَّا أَنْ تُبَلِّغَهُنَّ وَإِمَّا أُبَلِّغَهُنَّ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَخِي إِنِّي أَخْشَى إِنْ سَبَقْتَنِي أَنْ أُعَذَّبَ أَوْ يُخْسَفَ بِي قَالَ فَجَمَعَ يَحْيَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ حَتَّى امْتَلَأَ الْمَسْجِدُ وَقُعِدَ عَلَى الشُّرَفِ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ أَمَرَنِي بِخَمْسِ كَلِمَاتٍ أَنْ أَعْمَلَ بِهِنَّ وَآمُرَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا بِهِنَّ أَوَّلُهُنَّ أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا اللهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا فَإِنَّ مَثَلَ ذَلِكَ مَثَلُ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى عَبْدًا مِنْ خَالِصِ مَالِهِ بِوَرِقٍ أَوْ ذَهَبٍ فَجَعَلَ يَعْمَلُ وَيُؤَدِّي عَمَلَهُ إِلَى غَيْرِ سَيِّدِهِ فَأَيُّكُمْ يَسُرُّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَبْدُهُ كَذَلِكَ وَإِنَّ اللهَ خَلَقَكُمْ وَرَزَقَكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَأَمَرَكُمْ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ يَنْصِبُ وَجْهَهُ لِوَجْهِ عَبْدِهِ مَا لَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ فَإِذَا صَلَّيْتُمْ فَلَا تَلْتَفِتُوا وَأَمَرَكُمْ بِالصِّيَامِ فَإِنَّ مَثَلَ ذَلِكَ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ مَعَهُ صُرَّةٌ مِنْمِسْكٍ فِي عِصَابَةٍ كُلُّهُمْ يَجِدُ رِيحَ الْمِسْكِ وَإِنَّ خُلُوفَ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ وَأَمَرَكُمْ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَإِنَّ مَثَلَ ذَلِكَ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ أَسَرَهُ الْعَدُوُّ فَشَدُّوا يَدَيْهِ إِلَى عُنُقِهِ وَقَرَّبُوهُ لِيَضْرِبُوا عُنُقَهُ فَقَالَ هَلْ لَكُمْ أَنْ أَفْتَدِيَ نَفْسِي مِنْكُمْ فَجَعَلَ يَفْتَدِي نَفْسَهُ مِنْهُمْ بِالْقَلِيلِ وَالْكَثِيرِ حَتَّى فَكَّ نَفْسَهُ وَأَمَرَكُمْ بِذِكْرِ اللهِ كَثِيرًا وَإِنَّ مَثَلَ ذَلِكَ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ طَلَبَهُ الْعَدُوُّ سِرَاعًا فِي أَثَرِهِ فَأَتَى حِصْنًا حَصِينًا فَتَحَصَّنَ فِيهِ وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ أَحْصَنَ مَا يَكُونُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ إِذَا كَانَ فِي ذِكْرِ اللهِ قَالَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَا آمُرُكُمْ بِخَمْسٍ اللهُ أَمَرَنِي بِهِنَّ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ وَالسَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ وَالْهِجْرَةِ وَالْجِهَادِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْجَمَاعَةِ قِيدَ شِبْرٍ فَقَدْ خَلَعَ رِبْقَ الْإِسْلَامِ مِنْ عُنُقِهِ إِلَى أَنْ يَرْجِعَ وَمَنْ دَعَا بِدَعْوَى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَهُوَ مِنْ جُثَا جَهَنَّمَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَإِنْ صَامَ وَصَلَّى؟ قَالَ وَإِنْ صَامَ وَصَلَّى وَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ مُسْلِمٌ فَادْعُوا الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِمَا سَمَّاهُمُ اللهُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عِبَادَ اللهِ  

[Machine] He heard some of the delegation from Abd al-Qays saying, "We have come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his joy increased upon seeing us. When we reached the people, they made way for us and we sat down. The Prophet ﷺ welcomed us and prayed for us. Then he looked at us and said, "Who is your leader and chief?" We all pointed to Mundhir ibn 'Amr. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Is this the one with the scar?" It was the first day he was given this nickname because of a blow to his face with a donkey's hoof. We said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He then followed the people and assessed their resources and belongings. Then he took off his traveling clothes and put on his best clothes. He then approached the Prophet ﷺ , who had stretched out his leg and leaned on it. When Mundhir approached, the people made way for him and said, "Here is Mundhir!" The Prophet ﷺ straightened himself and sat up, welcomed him, and treated him kindly. Then he asked about his lands and named for him a village called Safa and Mashqar, among other villages. Mundhir said, "By my parents, O Messenger of Allah, you know the names of our villages." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I have already been to your lands and it has opened up to me. Then he approached the Ansar and said, "O people of the Ansar, honor your brothers, for they are like you in Islam, and they bear the closest resemblance to you in hair and appearance. They have submitted willingly, not by force or coercion, as a people who refused to submit were killed. When they woke up, the Prophet ﷺ said, "How do you see the status of your brothers and their hospitality towards you?" They replied, "They are the best brothers. They have provided us with bedding, made our food, stayed with us, and taught us the Book of our Lord and the Sunnah of our Prophet." The Prophet ﷺ was pleased and delighted with this, then he approached us one by one and asked each of us about what we had learned and taught. Some of us learned and taught greetings, the mother of the Book, and two Surahs, while others learned and taught the Sunnah and two Sunnahs. Then he turned to us and said, "Do you have any provisions with you?" The people were happy about this and rushed to prepare their belongings. Each man came with a handful of dates and placed it on a cloth in front of him, holding a piece of cloth in his hand. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you call this a variety of provisions?" We said, "Yes." Then he pointed to another handful of dates and asked, "Do you call this a pair of sandals?" We said, "Yes." Then he pointed to another handful of dates and asked, "Do you call this a gift?" We said, "

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed Allah commanded Yahya bin Zakariyya with five commandments to abide by, and to command the Children of Isra'il to abide by them. But he was slow in doing so. So 'Eisa said: 'Indeed Allah commanded you with five commandments to abide by and to command the Children of Isra'il to abide by. Either you command them, or I shall command them.' So Yahya said: 'I fear that if you precede me in this, then the earth may swallow me, or I shall be punished.' So he gathered the people in Jerusalem, and they filled [the Masjid] and sat upon its balconies. So he said: 'Indeed Allah has commanded me with five commandments to abide by, and to command you to abide by. The first of them is that you worship Allah and not associate anything with him. The parable of the one who associates others with Allah is that of a man who buys a servant with his own gold or silver, then he says to him: "This is my home and this is my business so take care of it and give me the profits." So he takes care of it and gives the profits to someone other than his master. Which of you would live to have a servant like that? And Allah commands you to perform Salat, and when you perform Salat then do not turn away, for Allah is facing the face of His worshipers as long as he does not turn away. And He commands you with fasting. For indeed the parable of fasting, is that of a man in a group with a sachet containing musk. All of them enjoy its fragrance. Indeed the breath of the fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the scent of musk. And He commands you to give charity. The parable of that, is a man captured by his enemies, tying his hands to his neck, and they come to him to beat his neck. Then he said: "I can ransom myself from you with a little or a lot" so he ransoms himself from them. And He commands you to remember Allah. For indeed the parable of that, is a man whose enemy quickly tracks him until he reaches an impermeable fortress in which he protects himself from them. This is how the worshiper is; he does not protect himself from Ash-Shaitan except by the remembrance of Allah.'" The Prophet ﷺ said: "And I command you with five that Allah commanded me: Listening and obeying, Jihad, Hijrah, and the Jama'ah. For indeed whoever parts from the Jama'ah the measure of a hand-span, then he has cast off the yoke of Islam from his neck, unless he returns. And whoever calls with the call of Jahiliyyah then he is from the coals of Hell." A man said: "O Messenger of Allah! Even if he performs Salat and fasts?" So he ﷺ said: "Even if he performs Salat and fasts. So call with the call that Allah named you with: Muslims, believers, worshipers of Allah." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2863)

[Machine] We were informed by Shaddad bin Abdullah Al-Damishqi, who was one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , that Abu Umarah said, "O Amr bin Abasah, the companion of wisdom, the wisdom of giving charity is a man from the tribe of Bani Sulaym. What makes you claim that you are a quarter of Islam?" He said, "In the period of ignorance, I used to see people in misguidance and I did not see any value in idols. Then I heard about a man who was reporting news from Makkah and narrating stories. So, I rode my camel until I reached Makkah, where I found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ hiding while his people were bold against him. I showed kindness to him and entered to meet him. I asked him, 'Who are you?' He said, ‘I am the Messenger of Allah.’ I asked, 'What is a Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'The Messenger of Allah is a Prophet.' I asked, 'Did Allah send you?' He said, 'Yes.' I asked, 'For what purpose did Allah send you?' He said, 'To worship Allah alone and not associate anything with Him, to demolish idols, and to maintain family ties.' Then I asked, 'Who is with you in this?' He said, 'The free and the slave or the slave and the free.' And he mentioned that Abu Bakr bin Abi Quhafa and Bilal, the slave of Abu Bakr, were with him. I said, 'I will follow you.' He said, 'You are not capable of that today, but return to your family. When you hear that I have emerged, come to me.' So, I returned to my family and I embraced Islam. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ migrated to Madinah, and I continued to search for news until a delegation from Yathrib came. I asked, 'Who is this Makkian man who has come to you?' They said, 'His people wanted to kill him, but they were unable, so there was a treaty between him and them.' And we left the people in confusion. I, Amr bin Abasah, rode my camel until I reached Madinah. I entered and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, do you recognize me?' He said, 'Yes, aren't you the one who came to me from Makkah?' I said, 'Indeed.' So, I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, teach me what Allah has taught you, for I am ignorant.' He said, 'If you pray Fajr, then shorten your prayer until the sun rises. Then do not pray until it is fully elevated, as at that time, the disbelievers prostrate to it. When it rises the height of a spear or two, then pray, as the prayer is witnessed and forbidden until the spear is shaded by the shadow. Then shorten your prayer, as at that time, Hellfire is kindled. When the sun has fully set, then you may pray Asr. When you pray Asr, then shorten your prayer until the sun has set, as at that time, the disbelievers prostrate to it.' I said, 'O Prophet of Allah, tell me about ablution.' He said, 'None of you should perform ablution, then rinse the mouth, sniff water into the nose, and blow it out, except that his sins are expiated from his mouth and nostrils with the water when it flows. Then, wash his face as Allah, the Most High, ordered.'

[Machine] He said, "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, did not grant us victory in a place like He did on the Day of Uhud." We objected to that, and Ibn Abbas said, "Between me and the one who objected to that is the Book of Allah, the Blessed and Exalted. Indeed, Allah, the Almighty and Glorious, says on the Day of Uhud: 'Indeed, Allah had fulfilled for you His promise when you were killing them by His permission.'" [Surah Al-Imran, 3:152] Ibn Abbas said, "And the expression 'killing them' means fighting, 'until when you lost courage' [Surah Al-Imran, 3:152] until [His words], 'And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful to the believers.' [Surah Al-Imran, 3:152] This is referring to the archers, because the Prophet ﷺ stationed them in a certain place and said, 'Protect our backs. If you see us being killed, do not come to our aid, and if you see us winning and gaining spoils, do not join us.' So when the Prophet ﷺ gained spoils and permitted the troops of the polytheists, the archers started collecting the spoils. They entered the enemy camp, looting, while the ranks of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were united and had joined hands. But then when the archers separated from that unity, the cavalry attacked the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , striking one another and causing confusion. Many Muslims were killed, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions fought until the morning. Indeed, among the first killed among the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the standard bearers of the polytheists were seven or nine. The Muslims dispersed towards a nearby mountain, without reaching the cave, where the people said the askar (a type of plant) was growing. Satan cried out, 'Muhammad has been killed,' and he did not doubt that it was true. So we were in that state of uncertainty until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ emerged between As-Sa'dayn. We recognized him by the way he walked. We were overjoyed, as if nothing had afflicted us. He separated from us and said, 'Allah's anger has intensified against a people who smeared the face of His Messenger.' Then he said again, 'Allah, destroy them, for they can never overcome us.' Then Abu Sufyan called out from the foot of the mountain, 'Mount Hubal!' twice, referring to their idols. 'Where is the son of Abi Kabshah? Where is the son of Abi Quhafah? Where is the son of Al-Khattab?' Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, shall I respond to him?' He said, 'Yes.' When Umar said, 'Allah is the Most High and the Most Exalted,' Abu Sufyan said, 'We have certainly reached a day of defeat. When you are high in rank, we are in the fire.' Umar said, 'Indeed, you are mistaken. By Allah, we are victorious, and your army has suffered a loss.' Abu Sufyan said, 'You will find the same fate in your killing as mine. However, this was not from the opinion of our women.' Then he was overtaken by Jahiliyah ignorance, and he said, 'Indeed, that was the case, and we did not reject it.'"

[Machine] He heard some delegation from the tribe of Abdul-Qais saying, "We have come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he was very pleased with our arrival. When we finished meeting with the people, they made way for us and we sat down. The Prophet ﷺ greeted us and prayed for us. Then he looked at us and said, 'Who is your leader and your chief?' So we pointed to Mujdhir ibn A'idhah. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Is this the one with the scar?' And this was the first day on which he was given this name by being struck on the face with the hoof of a camel. We said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' Then some of the people missed us and their belongings were delayed. So their riding animals and provisions were gathered and their defect was removed. The Prophet ﷺ took off their travel clothes and they wore their good clothes. Then he turned to the Prophet ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ extended his leg and supported himself. When Mujdhir approached him, the people made room for him and said, 'Here, O Mujdhir.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Sit here, O Mujdhir,' and he sat on the right side of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ greeted him and treated him kindly, and he asked him about his land and named a village for him, Safa and Mushaqar, and other villages of migration. Then he said, 'By my father and mother, O Messenger of Allah, you are better acquainted with the names of our villages than us.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Indeed, I have traversed your lands and it was extensive for me.' He said, 'Then he turned to the Ansar and said, 'O people of the Ansar, honor your brothers, for they are similar to you in Islam. The most similar thing to you is a poet. They embraced Islam willingly, not by force or compulsion. When a people refused to embrace Islam, they were killed.' He said, 'When they became the next day, he said, 'How did you find the hospitality of your brothers and their welcoming of you?' They said, 'The best of brothers are the ones who are generous, they made their homes available to us, they provided us with the best food, they slept and woke us up, and they taught us the Book of our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, and the Sunnah of our Prophet ﷺ.' The Prophet ﷺ was pleased and happy with this, and then he approached us one by one, and each of us presented what we had learned and taught. Some of us knew the greetings, the mother of the Book, and the Surah, the two Surahs, and the Sunnah. Then he approached us with his face and said, 'Do you have anything of your provisions with you?' The people were happy with this and began to present their provisions. Each of them brought handfuls of dates and put them on a piece of

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , sent a reconnaissance mission and appointed 'Asim ibn Thabit, who was the grandfather of 'Asim ibn 'Umar, as their leader. They set out until they reached a place between 'Usfan and Makkah known as "Bani Lihyan". They followed their tracks with a group of about one hundred men led by Ramm, and they pursued them until they reached a resting place where they found dates that were provisions from Madinah. They said, "These are dates from Yathrib." They followed their tracks until they caught up with them. When 'Asim ibn Thabit and his companions sensed them, they sought refuge in a rugged place, and when the people approached them, they surrounded them and said, "We have made a covenant and agreement with you that if you come to us, we will not kill any of you." 'Asim ibn Thabit said, "As for me, I do not enter into a treaty with a disbeliever." They said, "Fight them." So they fought 'Asim and killed him along with seven others. Only Hubayb ibn 'Adi and Zayd ibn ad-Dathinah remained. They entered into a covenant and agreement with them. When they felt secure from them, they tied their hands with their own bowstrings. The third man with them said, "This is the first act of treachery. I refuse to accompany them." So they killed him. Then they departed with Hubayb ibn 'Adi and Zayd ibn ad-Dathinah until they sold them in Makkah. They sold Hubayb to the sons of Al-Harith ibn 'Amir ibn Nawfal, who had killed Al-Harith on the Day of Badr. Hubayb stayed with them as a prisoner until they decided to kill him. He borrowed a razor from the daughter of Al-Harith to prepare himself with it. She said, "I inadvertently failed to restrain my son from approaching it, and he fell upon it until it reached him." She said, "Have no fear that I will kill him. I wouldn't kill him. You will not find a better captive than Hubayb. I saw him eating ripe grapes when Makkah had no ripe fruits at that time. And he is bound in iron, but his sustenance is only provided by Allah." Then they took him out of the sanctuary to kill him. He asked them, "Allow me to pray two Rak'ahs." He prayed the two Rak'ahs, and then said, "If you did not see my eagerness to die, I would increase in it by the Will of Allah." Hubayb was the first to offer two Rak'ahs before being killed. Then 'Uqbah ibn Al-Harith went toward him and killed him. The people of Quraysh sent word to 'Asim to bring them a part of his body that they could recognize. He was a great man among their elite who had been killed on the Day of Badr. So Allah sent upon them a cloud from behind, shielding them from his messengers. They were unable to harm him in any way.

[Machine] On the authority of Al-Zuhri regarding the statement of Allah (ﷻ), "{Every nation will be called to its book}" [Surah Al-Jathiyah: 28], on the authority of 'Ata ibn Yazid Al-Laythi, on the authority of Abu Hurayrah who said, the people said, "O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He (the Prophet ﷺ) said, "Do you have any difficulty looking at the sun when there are no clouds in the sky?" They said, "No, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you have any difficulty looking at the moon on the night of a full moon when there are no clouds covering it?" They said, "No, O Messenger of Allah." 'Abdul Razzaq once asked, "Do you have any difficulty looking at the moon on the night of a full moon when there are no clouds covering it?" They said, "No, O Messenger of Allah." He (the Prophet ﷺ) said, "You will see your Lord on the Day of Resurrection just as you have no difficulty looking at the sun or the moon." Allah will gather the people and say, "Whoever used to worship something, let them follow it." So those who used to worship the moon will follow the moon, those who used to worship the sun will follow the sun, and those who used to worship the false deities will follow the false deities. Then only the hypocrites will remain. Allah (ﷻ) will come to them in a form that they do not recognize and say, "I am your Lord." They will say, "We seek refuge with Allah from you. This is our station until our Lord comes to us." When our Lord comes to them, they will recognize Him. Allah (ﷻ) will come to them in a form that they recognize and say, "I am your Lord." They will say, "You are our Lord." Then they will follow Him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "A bridge will be set up over Hellfire." The Prophet ﷺ said that he will be the first to cross the bridge and the matter of the messengers will be settled that day. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Allah, grant peace, peace." He described it as being like the thorns of the flower of Sa'dan. He asked, "Have you seen the thorns of the flower of Sa'dan?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "It is like the thorns of the flower of Sa'dan, except that no one knows its exact size except Allah. It will seize the people according to their deeds. Yet some will be saved, such as the wicked who will be thrown into it and those who will be saved. When Allah (ﷻ) finishes judging between people and intends to bring out those who He wants to have mercy upon from the fire

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , it is narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one day and performed the prayer of migration, then he sat down. The people became startled, so he said, "Sit down, O people, for I did not rise from my place due to fear. Rather, Tamim Ad-Dari came to me and informed me of news that prevented me from experiencing joy and comfort. I wanted to share with you the joy of your Prophet. He informed me that a group from his cousins, the Banu 'Amir, had embarked on the sea, and they were struck by a violent wind. The wind brought them to an island they did not recognize. They sat in their boat until they arrived at the island. Then, they found a creature with a lot of hair that they were unsure if it was a man or a woman. They greeted it, and it returned their greeting. They said, 'Will you not inform us?' It said, 'I do not inform you, nor do I seek information from you. But in this monastery, there is someone who longingly awaits to inform you and seek information from you.' They said, 'Who are you?' It said, 'I am Al-Jassasah.' So, they set off until they reached the monastery. There, they found a man chained up, heavily bound, showing signs of great sadness and complaining a lot. They greeted him, and he returned their greetings. They asked him, 'Who are you?' He said, 'I am from the Arabs.' They asked, 'What have the Arabs done?' He said, 'Has their Prophet come forth after me?' They said, 'Yes.' He asked, 'What have they done?' They said, 'They have believed in him and affirmed him.' He said, 'That is good for them.' He had an enemy, and Allah exposed him to them. They asked, 'Are the Arabs today with one God, one religion, and one word?' They said, 'Yes.' He asked, 'What has happened to the spring of Zughar?' They said, 'The people drink from it, and their crops are irrigated by it.' He asked, 'What has happened to the date palm tree between 'Ammān and Bayt al-Maqdis?' They said, 'It produces fruit every year.' He asked, 'What has happened to the lake of Tabariyyah?' They said, 'It is full.' He sighed deeply, then sighed deeply again, then sighed deeply a third time. He swore, 'By the One in Whose Hands is the Life of Muhammad, it is as though if I were to leave my place right now, I would not leave behind any land belonging to Allah, except that I would tread upon it, except for Taibah. There is no authority for me over it.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'So, thus my joy reaches its peak. Surely, Allah has made Mecca and Medina sacred, and forbidden for the Dajjal to enter. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ swore, 'By the One besides whom there is no deity, there is no path, narrow or wide, in the east which is not guarded by an appointed angel with a drawn sword until the Day of Resurrection. The Dajjal will not be able to enter upon its inhabitants.' 'Amir commented, 'So, I met Al-Muharrir ibn Abi Hurayrah, and I narrated this Hadith to him. He said, 'I bear witness by my father that he narrated to me as you have narrated from Fatimah bint Qays.' However, he said, 'The two sanctuaries are sacred: Makkah and Medina.'

So I wanted to share with you the joy of your Prophet ﷺ. He informed me that a group from his relatives, the Banu 'Amir, rode the sea and a fierce wind overcame them. The wind pushed them towards an unknown island. They sat in wooden boats until they reached the island. Then they found a creature with a lot of hair, not knowing if it was a man or a woman. They greeted the creature with salaam, and the creature replied with salaam. They said, 'Can you inform us?' The creature replied, 'I am not here to inform you or ask for information. However, this monastery became a hardship for you. Inside, there is someone who has been yearning to tell you and ask you about their fate. They said, 'Who are you?' She said, 'I am the spy.' So they went until they reached the monastery. There they found a man who was severely bound, showing a lot of sadness and complaining. They greeted him, and he replied, asking, 'Who are you?' They said, 'We are from the Arabs.' He said, 'What have the Arabs done? Did their Prophet emerge?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'What did they do?' They said, 'They believed in him and affirmed his truthfulness.' He said, 'That is better for them.' He had an enemy, and Allah made him manifest to them. He said, 'So are the Arabs today united in their religion and their word?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'So what did the spring of Zughar do?' They said, 'It is wholesome. Its people drink from it, and their crops are irrigated by it.' He said, 'So what did the palm tree between 'Amman and Bayt Al-Maqdis do?' They said, 'Good. Its vegetation feeds its camels every year.' He said, 'So what did the Lake of Tiberias do?' They said, 'Full.' He said, 'So it sighed, and sighed, and sighed, and then he swore by Allah who there is none worthy of worship except Him, 'By Allah, there is no narrow road or wide road in the flat or mountain except that there is an angel holding a drawn sword until the Day of Resurrection, preventing Ad-Dajjal from entering it.' He said, 'Then I met Al-Muharrar bin Abi Hurayrah, and I informed him of the Hadith of Fatimah bint Qays. He testified to what I testified, except that he said, 'I bear witness that 'Aishah also narrated to me like she narrated to you, Fatimah.' Except that she said, 'The two sanctuaries are sacred: Makkah and Al-Madinah.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out with the people before the Battle of Tabuk. When morning came, he led the people in the Fajr prayer. Then, the people mounted their rides, and when the sun came up, the people dozed off on their camels. Muadh, the companion of the Prophet ﷺ , stayed close behind him and followed his footsteps. The people dispersed on the road, resting and walking, while feeding and moving. While Muadh was following in the footsteps of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , his camel stumbled and he held it back with the reins. As a result, the camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ran away from him. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ uncovered his face and turned around, only to find a man from the army, who was closer to him than Muadh. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and said, "O Muadh!" He replied, "I am here, O Messenger of Allah!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told him to draw closer. So, he approached until his camel touched the camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then, the Prophet ﷺ said, "I did not think that the people were as close to me as their position requires." Muadh said, "O Messenger of Allah, the people fell asleep, and their rides scattered, grazing and moving." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "I also dozed off." When Muadh saw the good news from the Prophet ﷺ and he was alone with him, he asked, "O Messenger of Allah, permit me to ask you about something that has caused me illness, weakness, and distress." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Ask me whatever you wish." Muadh said, "Please tell me a deed that will make me enter Paradise. I will not ask you about anything else." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You have asked about something great. You have asked about something great. It is easy for the one whom Allah wants good for. It is easy for the one whom Allah wants good for. It is easy for the one whom Allah wants good for." He did not offer him any other suggestion without repeating it to him three times, especially since Muadh showed such keenness to learn it. Then, the Prophet ﷺ said, "You should believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish the prayer, worship Allah alone without associating partners with Him, perform the obligatory acts, and avoid the prohibitions until you die while adhering to them." Muadh said, "O Messenger of Allah, repeat it for me." The Prophet repeated it for him three times. Then, he said, "If you wish, I will inform you of the head, the pillar, and the pinnacle of this matter." Muadh said, "Yes, please, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The head of this matter is the testimony that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger. The pillar of this matter is establishing the prayer and paying the Zakah. And the pinnacle of this matter is Jihad in the cause of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ added, "I have been ordered to fight against people until they testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger, establish prayer, and pay Zakah. If they do so, their blood and wealth will be protected from me except for its due rights, and their reckoning is with Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ concluded by saying, "By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no one among the actions that lead to Paradise is as great as performing the obligatory prayer. And there is nothing heavier in the balance of a servant than truthfulness which he practices in striving in the cause of Allah, and there is nothing that will weigh more heavily in the balance of a servant than spending in the cause of Allah or carrying out an obligation in that regard."

[Machine] Narrated by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: "Once, I and a young boy from the Ansar were throwing arrows at targets in front of us, according to a promise we made to each other during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We continued until the sun appeared as if it was a black and cold ball. Then one of us said to his companion, 'Let us go to the mosque, and I swear by Allah that I will inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about this extraordinary event in his Ummah.' So we went to the mosque, and behold, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was there. He went out to the people and prayed in a manner longer than any prayer he had ever prayed before, so much so that we could not hear any movement from him. Then he prostrated in a similarly prolonged manner, and again we could not hear any movement from him. He performed the second unit of prayer in the same manner. While he was sitting between the two units, the sun appeared and he performed a sitting that was the longest he had ever done. I thought he would never finish. Then he said the tasleem and praised Allah and testified that He is Allah and His Messenger. Then he addressed the people and said, 'O people, I swear by Allah that if you knew the things that I know, you would have seen the signs in this sun, moon, and stars as the death of great men from the people of the earth. But they would deny it. However, these signs are among Allah's signs that His slaves consider, to see who among them will repent. By Allah, since I started praying, I have not seen you in such a state, concerned about your worldly affairs and your hereafter. By Allah, the Hour will not come until 30 liars appear. The last of them will be the one-eyed Dajjal who will have a blind eye, which looks like the eye of Abu Talha, a companion from the Ansar, between his eyes and Aisha's room. He will claim that he is Allah. Whoever believes in him and testifies to his claim, his good deeds done before that day will not benefit him. And whoever disbelieves in him and denies him, no harm will come to his deeds. A grey-haired old man, perhaps Hassan Ash-Shaib, said that his bad deeds will outweigh his good deeds. The Dajjal will appear on the entire earth except for the Haram and Bayt al-Maqdis. He will gather the believers in Bayt al-Maqdis, where they will experience a severe earthquake. Then Allah will destroy him and his army, to the extent that stones and trees will call out to the believers, saying, 'O believer, this is a Jew,' or 'This is a disbeliever, come and kill him!' But it will not be like that until you witness events that will greatly concern you and you will wonder whether your Prophet has told you about them. And it will not be like that until mountains move from their places consecutively, one after another, and until the closing of the gates. Then I witnessed a sermon by Simarah in which he mentioned this Hadith, but he did not start or end it in its proper context."

I divorced my wife. I then came to Medina to sell my land that was there so that I could buy arms and fight in battle. I met a group of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ. They said: Six persons of us intended to do so (i.e. divorce their wives and purchase weapons), but the Prophet ﷺ prohibited them. He said: For you in the Messenger of Allah there is an excellent model. I then came to Ibn 'Abbas and asked him about the witr observed by the Prophet ﷺ. He said: I point to you a person who is most familiar with the witr observed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Go to 'Aishah. While going to her I asked Hakim b. Aflah to accompany me. He refused, but I adjured him. He, therefore, went along with me. We sought permission to enter upon 'Aishah. She said: Who is this ? He said: Hakim b. Aflah. She asked: Who is with you ? He replied: Sa'd b. Hisham. She said: Hisham son of 'Amir who was killed in the Battle of Uhud. I said: Yes. She said: What a good man 'Amir was! I said: Mother of faithful, tell me about the character of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She asked: Do you not recite the Quran ? The character of Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the Qur'an. I asked: Tell me about his vigil and prayer at night. She replied: Do you not recite: "O thou folded in garments" (73:1). I said: Why not ? When the opening of this Surah was revealed, the Companions stood praying (most of the night) until their fett swelled, and the concluding verses were not revealed for twelve months from heaven. At last the concluding verses were revealed and the prayer at night became voluntary after it was obligatory. I said: Tell me about the witr of the Prophet ﷺ. She replied: He used to pray eight rak'ahs, sitting only during the eighth of them. Then he would stand up and pray another rak'ahs. He would sit only after the eighth and the ninth rak'ahs. He would utter salutation only after the ninth rak'ah. He would then pray two rak'ahs sitting and that made eleven rak'ahs, O my son. But when he grew old and became fleshy he observed a witr of seven, sitting only in sixth and seventh rak'ahs, and would utter salutation only after the seventh rak'ah. He would then pray two rak'ahs sitting, and that made nine rak'ahs, O my son. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not pray through a whole night, or recite the whole Qur'an in a night or fast a complete month except in Ramadan. When he offered prayer, he would do that regularly. When he was overtaken by sleep at night, he would pray twelve rak'ahs. The narrator said: I came to Ibn 'Abbas and narrated all this to him. By Allah, this is really a tradition. Has I been on speaking terms with her, I would have come to her and heard it from her mouth. I said: If I knew that you were not on speaking terms with her, I would have never narrated it to you.

[Machine] Afterwards, indeed, Allah created the creation, not in need of their obedience, secure from their disobedience. And the people on that day are in different situations and opinions. The Arabs inhabit those residences, the people of Hajr, the people of Wabar, and the people of Dabar. They pass by them with the goodness of this world and the abundance of their livelihoods. They do not ask Allah as a group nor do they recite His dead book. Their dead are in the fire, and their lives are blind and impure, along with countless desired and forbidden things. So when Allah intended to spread His mercy upon them, He sent to them a messenger from among themselves, noble and caring, eager for the believers. Allah's blessings, peace, mercy, and blessings be upon him. This did not stop them from harming him in his body and labeling him with names. With him was a book from Allah, speaking, that is not established except by His command and is not eliminated except with His permission. So when he was commanded to be firm and was burdened with jihad, he accepted the command of Allah. His argument was cleared, his words were approved, his call was proclaimed, and he left this world pious and pure, following the path of his companion. Then Abu Bakr succeeded him, and he followed his example and followed his path. And the Arabs or those who did that from among them returned to their previous state, except for those who refused to accept them after the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. He would not accept from them except the one who was reconcilable. He drew out his swords from their scabbards, and set fire to their kindling. Then he defeated the people of truth, the people of falsehood, but he did not sever their limbs or shed their blood until he entered them into that from which they had separated and solidified them in that from which they had departed. He had previously received a portion of Allah's wealth and used it to quench his thirst. And an Ethiopian woman who breastfed a child for him. He felt a pang in his throat when he saw that before he passed away. He attributed it to his successor and left this world pious and pure, following the path of his two companions. Then, O Umar bin Al-Khattab, you are the son of this world. Its kings nurtured you and fed you. It grew you up and you sought its benefits. But when you became its ruler, you abandoned it and left it in ruins, except for what you provide from it. So praise be to Allah who showed us your deception and relieved our distress through you. So go forth and do not turn back, for surely nothing can exalt the truth, nor humiliate falsehood. I speak these words and seek forgiveness from Allah for myself and for the believing men and believing women. Abu Ayyub said, "Umar bin Abdul Aziz would say about something, Ibn Al-Ahtam said to me, 'Go forth and do not turn back.'"

[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.'"

[Machine] Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ spent ten years following people in their homes during the season of Manazil, Muzdalifah, and 'Ukaz. He would ask, "Who will shelter me? Who will support me until I convey the messages of my Lord, and for him is Paradise?" Yet, he would find no one to support him or shelter him. And there would be a man who would leave from Egypt or Yemen to bring him back to his people, and they would warn him, "Beware of the young Quraishi boy who will tempt you." He would walk among their tents, calling them to Allah Almighty, and they would point at him with their fingers. Then Allah sent us from Yathrib (Medina), and the man from among us would meet him, believe in him, and teach him the Quran. He would then return to his people, and they would embrace Islam until there was not a single house among the houses of the Ansar without Muslims in it. We sent a message to Allah, and He allowed us to gather and meet. We said, "How long will the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be expelled in the mountains of Makkah and live in fear?" So we set out until we reached him in Muzdalifah during the pilgrimage season. We made an agreement with him at 'Aqabah, and his uncle, al-'Abbas, said to him, "O son of my brother, I do not know who these people who have come to you are. I have knowledge of the people of Yathrib, so we gathered with a man, and when al-'Abbas looked at our faces, he said, 'These are people we do not know. They are young men.' So we said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do we pledge allegiance to you on?' He said, 'Pledge allegiance to me on hearing and obeying, in times of energy and times of laziness, on spending in times of ease and times of hardship, on commanding good and forbidding evil, and on not blaming us for what we do in the name of Allah. Pledge allegiance to me on supporting me when I come to you, and withholding from what you withhold from yourselves, your wives, and your children. And for you is Paradise.' So we pledged allegiance to him, and Sa'd bin Zurarah, the youngest among the seventy, took his hand and said, 'O people of Yathrib, none of us withholds his hand from this pledge, and we will never quit it.' So we went to him, each man one by one, and he took our pledge to grant us Paradise."

[Machine] Abu Jahl confronted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at As-Safa. He insulted him and said things that were detestable to his religion and demeaning towards him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not respond to him. Abdullah bin Judda'an At-Taymi's wife witnessed this incident from her house, which was located above As-Safa. Afterward, Abu Jahl went to the gathering of the Quraysh at the Kaaba and sat with them. Hamza bin Abdul-Muttalib, with his bow on his shoulder, returned from hunting and normally when he returned in this manner, he would not pass by the gathering of the Quraysh without expressing his strength. On this day, he was still a pagan. The lady who witnessed the incident approached him and informed him about what had transpired between Abu Jahl and Muhammad, and how Abu Jahl had insulted and abused him. Then, she told him that Muhammad had not responded to him. Thus, Hamza became angry for the sake of the honor of Allah's Messenger ﷺ . He hurried, looking for Abu Jahl, in order to avenge the harm that had befallen Allah's Messenger ﷺ . When he entered the Masjid, he saw Abu Jahl sitting among people and went towards him. When he reached Abu Jahl, he drew his bow with all his strength and struck Abu Jahl's head with the bow, causing a severe wound. Men from Quraysh's Banu Makhzum tribe stood to support Abu Jahl, but they did not find Hamza, as he rushed out of the Masjid. He did not stop to speak to anyone as he normally did. He went straight towards the Kaaba to perform Tawaf (circumambulation) while giving Abu Jahl the opportunity to take revenge, had he wanted to.

He went straight towards the Kaaba to perform Tawaf (circumambulation) while giving Abu Jahl the opportunity to take revenge, had he wanted to. But Abu Jahl restrained himself, not retaliating for the harm he had received. He did not think that Hamza's action was the cause of his forgiveness, but rather his intention was to fulfill the command of Allah. After this incident, Hamza entered his house, and Satan came to him saying, "You are the chief of the Quraysh! You have followed this new religion and abandoned the religion of your ancestors. Death is better for you than what you have done." Hamza was affected by this whisper. He went to Hamza with a doubt in his heart, unsure of the way out of the situation he found himself in. He went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the next morning and said, "O my nephew! I find myself in a situation and I do not know how to find a way out. I have placed myself in a situation where I cannot retreat or advance. Tell me, is it right for me to continue in the path I have chosen, or should I choose another path?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ advised him, reminded him, admonished him, and gave him glad tidings. As a result, faith entered Hamza's heart, as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said. Hamza then said, "I bear witness that you are truthful in your testimony, the one who confirms truth and identifies falsehood. Show me, O my nephew, the path to follow, and by Allah, there is nothing I would love more than to have a reputation that would outshine the sun. And I am now embracing my original religion." So it was, that Hamza was one of those whom Allah honored and helped through the religion.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I know what the Antichrist (Dajjal) has with him. He has two rivers, one fire that appears as blazing flames to anyone who sees it, and the other is water that appears white. So if any of you can find him, let him close his eyes and drink the water that appears as fire, for it is actually cool water. Beware of the other river, for it is the tribulation. Know that it is written between his eyes that he is a disbeliever, which can be read by those who can read and even those who cannot read. And know that one of his eyes is wiped over which a mark is left, and from that mark he will emerge towards the end of his affair on the outskirts of the Jordan River, near his house. He will awake and everyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day will be in the vicinity of the Jordan River. And know that he will kill one-third of the Muslims, defeat one-third, and leave one-third. The night will befall them, and some of the believers will say to others, 'What are you waiting for to join your brothers for the sake of pleasing your Lord? So whoever has extra food, let him feed his brother. Pray when dawn breaks and hurry in performing the prayer, then face your enemy.' When they stand for prayer, Jesus, the son of Mary, peace be upon him, will descend to lead them in prayer. After he finishes, he will say, 'This is how you should relieve yourselves from the enemy of Allah.' Abu Hazim said, 'He will melt like salt melts in water.' Abdullah ibn Amr said, 'He will vanish like salt dissolves in water.' Allah will give victory to the Muslims, and they will kill their enemies until even the rocks and the trees will call, 'O Abdullah, O slave of the Most Merciful, O Muslim, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.' So Allah will expose the Muslims, and they will break the cross, kill the swine, and abolish the jizya (tax on non-Muslims). While they are in this state, Allah will bring forth Gog and Magog. They will drink from the lake at the beginning, and the last of them will pass by it and say, 'We have defeated our enemies, here is a trace of water.' Then the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and his companions will follow them until they enter one of the cities in Palestine called Lud. They will say, 'We have defeated those on earth, let us fight those in the sky.' At that moment, Allah will send a disease upon them, opening up boils in their necks, and none of them will remain except that their stench will harm the Muslims. At that point, Jesus, peace be upon him, will call upon Allah, and Allah will send a wind that will throw them into the sea, all of them."

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

[Machine] Abu Al-Tahir and Abu Al-Rabi' Al-Masri narrated to me that Abdullah ibn Wahb informed them that Abdur Rahman ibn Shuraih narrated from Rabi'ah ibn Saif Al Ma'afiri, who heard it from Ishaq ibn Abdullah, that Awf ibn Malik Al-Ashja'i visited the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم during a victorious battle. He greeted the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and said, "Congratulations, O Messenger of Allah. Allah has honored your victory, made your religion manifest, and caused the burden of war to be lifted with ease." The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم was in a dome made of adobe bricks, and he said, "Enter, O Awf." Awf asked, "Shall I enter wholly or partially?" The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Enter wholly." Awf said, "Indeed, the burdens of war will not be lifted until there come six events, the first of which will be my death." Awf wept, and the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Say 'one' and [then] 'two.' The first is the conquest of Jerusalem, the second is a trial that will occur among the people, like the scattering of sheep. The fourth is a trial that will occur among the people, where no household will remain except that their share of it will come to them. The fifth is the birth of a boy from the offspring of the kings who will grow rapidly, reaching maturity in a day like how an infant grows in a week, and how an infant grows in a month, and how an infant grows in a year. When he turns twelve, they will make him their king. He will stand among them and say, 'For how long will these people continue to oppress us and invade our lands?' I have resolved to go forth and drive them out from our lands." The preachers then stood up and expressed their agreement with him. He then sent to Algeria and the desert to construct ships, and he filled them with fighters until he arrived between Antioch and Al Arish. Ibn Shuraih said, "I heard someone say that there will be twelve goals under each goal there will be twelve thousand, and the Muslims will unite and gather with their leader in Jerusalem. They agreed to march to the city of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم while carrying their weapons in Sarih and Khaybar. Ibn Abi Ja'far said that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, 'They will drive my Ummah out of the boundaries of Sham.' Or Al-Harith ibn Yazid said, 'They will settle there, and then one third of them will flee, one third of them will be killed, and Allah Almighty will make the remaining one third victorious through their patience.' Khalid ibn Yazid said, 'On that day, he will strike with his sword, and he will pierce them with his spear, and the Muslims will follow him until they reach the Strait of Constantinople. They will find it dry, so they will cross over to the city. Allah will demolish their walls through the takbir, and they will enter it and distribute their wealth through the ammaded chests.' Abu Qabil Al-Ma'afiri said, 'As they were doing that, a rider came to them and said, "You are here, but the Dajjal has already deceived your families." This was, in fact, falsehood. Whoever heard the scholars concerning this matter took the right path, but others scattered. Meanwhile, the Muslims started building mosques in Constantinople and continued fighting until the Dajjal emerged for the sixth time.

[Machine] The sons of Saad ibn Bakr, Dimam ibn Tha'laba, were sent to the Messenger of Allah. They came to us and I tied their camel at the gate of the mosque. Then they entered upon the Messenger of Allah, who was sitting in the mosque with his companions. He asked them, "Which one of you is the son of Abdul-Muttalib?" The Messenger of Allah replied, "I am the son of Abdul-Muttalib." He said, "Muhammad?" The Messenger of Allah replied, "Yes." He said, "O Muhammad, I have a question for you, and I am persistent in it. Do not find me offensive. For I do not find it in myself." He said, "Ask about what you have in mind." He said, "I ask you by Allah, your God, the God of those before you, and the God of those who will come after you: Did Allah send you to us as a messenger?" The Messenger of Allah replied, "By Allah, yes." He said, "I ask you by Allah, your God, the God of those before you, and the God of those who will come after you: Did Allah command you that we worship Him alone and not associate anything with Him, and that we reject these idols and false gods that our forefathers used to worship?" The Messenger of Allah replied, "By Allah, yes." Then he began mentioning the obligations of Islam, one by one, starting with prayer, then zakah, fasting, and Hajj, reciting them after each obligation, just as he recited them before. When he finished, he said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that you are His servant and messenger. I will fulfill these obligations and avoid what you have prohibited me from doing. I will not increase or decrease in them." Then he turned around and returned to his camel. The Messenger of Allah said as he was leaving, "If the two idols are truthful, he will enter Paradise." Dimam was a tall, hairy man with prominent shoulders. He came with his camel and released its reins until he came to his people. They gathered around him and the first thing he said was cursing Lat and Uzza. They said, "What is wrong with you, O Dimam? Beware of leprosy, madness, and insanity!" He said, "Woe to you! By Allah, neither of them can harm or benefit. Allah has sent a messenger and revealed a book to you, which has saved you from what you were in. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. I have come to you from him with what he has commanded you and what he has forbidden you. By Allah, not a single man or woman in the city today is not a Muslim." Ibn Abbas said, "We have not heard of a group coming that was better than Dimam ibn Tha'laba. Both the two sheikhs agreed to remove from their book the story of Dimam entering the city, and neither of them narrated the complete hadith. This is authentic." Authentic.

[Machine] Sumurah, while I was a young boy from the Ansar, we were throwing objects for ourselves during the time of the Prophet ﷺ. When the sun reached the height of two or three lances above the horizon, it became darkened and shone like a firefly. One of us said to his companion, "Let's go to the mosque, and I swear by Allah that this matter of the sun will be mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in his Ummah." So we went to the mosque, and we found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing among the people. He came forward and led us in prayer, the longest prayer he ever prayed with us, in which we could not even hear his voice. Then he performed ruku (bowing) with us, the longest ruku he ever performed with us, in which we could not hear his voice. Then he performed sujud (prostration) with us, the longest sujud he ever performed with us, in which we could not hear his voice. Then he did the same in the second raka'ah, and when the sun reappeared during the second raka'ah, he sat down. Then he said, "O people, indeed I am only a human being and the Messenger of Allah. But I remind you of Allah, if you know that I have not conveyed any of the messages of my Lord, which you informed me of, until I convey them as they should be conveyed. And if you know that I have conveyed the messages of my Lord, which you informed me of." Then the people stood up and said, "We bear witness that you have conveyed the messages of your Lord and advised your Ummah, and you have fulfilled what is upon you." Then they fell silent, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for what follows, there are men who claim that the eclipse of this sun, the eclipse of this moon, and the disappearance of these stars from their stations cause the death of great men from the people of the earth. Indeed, they are liars, but they are signs from the signs of Allah by which He tests His servants. Let the one among them who will repent come forward." By Allah, since I started praying, I have not met any of you in your current worldly and hereafter conditions. And by Allah, the Hour will not be established until thirty liars will appear, the last of them being the lame Dajjal. He will have a deformed eye like the eye of Abi Yahya, a sheikh from the Ansar. And when he appears, he will claim that he is Allah. Whoever believes in him, verifies his claim, and follows him, then none of his past deeds will benefit him. And whoever denies him and rejects him, then none of his past deeds will harm him. Indeed, he will appear on the entire earth except for the Haram and Bayt al-Maqdis. And indeed, he will besiege the believers in Bayt al-Maqdis, and they will shake violently. Then Jesus, the son of Mary, will descend among them, and Allah will defeat him and his soldiers, to the extent that the black stone will call out, "O believer! This is a disbeliever hiding behind me, so come and kill him." He said, "But that will not happen until you see matters becoming widespread and severe. You will ask each other, 'Did your Prophet ﷺ mention anything about this?' And until mountains move from their places and continue to move until the seizing (of souls) comes. He pointed with his hand, and he said, "Then he delivered another sermon, in which he mentioned what he mentioned before and did not delay it or precede it."

[Machine] He said, "The Prophet ﷺ was not supported in any place as he was on the day of Uhud." He said, "We denied that, so Ibn Abbas said, 'Between me and whoever denied that is the Book of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious.' Indeed, Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, says about the day of Uhud, 'And Allah had certainly fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing the enemy by His permission.'" [Surah Al Imran, 152]. Ibn Abbas says that "killing" here means fighting. He also says, "Until when you lost courage and fell to disputing about the matter and disobeyed after He had shown you that which you love. Among you are some who desire this world, and among you are some who desire the Hereafter. Then He turned you back from them [defeated] that He might test you. And He has already forgiven you. And Allah is full of bounty to the believers." [Surah Al Imran, 152]. He meant by this the archers, for the Prophet ﷺ stationed them in a specific place and then said, 'Protect our backs. If you see us being killed, do not come to our aid, and if you see us gaining booty, do not partake in it.' So when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gained booty and made permissible the property of the polytheists, the archers uncovered themselves and entered into the booty, holding one another's fingers. They were surprised by the polytheists who began to attack the Muslims, resulting in the death of many Muslims. The Prophet ﷺ and his companions fought until seven or nine of the leaders of the polytheists were killed. The Muslims fought by the mountain and did not reach where people said the battle took place, as it was beneath the Hudaybiyya. Shaytan shouted, 'Muhammad is killed,' and they did not suspect that it was true until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ emerged among them, walking in a state of apprehension. When he saw him, they recognized him by the way he walked. This brought them great joy, as though nothing had befallen them. He then moved away from them, saying, 'The anger of Allah has increased upon a people who killed their Prophet.' He said again, 'O Allah, surely they cannot overpower us.' Then Abu Sufyan shouted from the bottom of the mountain, 'O Hubal, 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, should I answer him?' He said, 'Yes.' So when Abu Sufyan shouted, 'O Hubal,' Umar said, 'Allah is the Most High and the Most Great.' Abu Sufyan said, 'The day of Badr was a day of mutual hostility and fighting.' Umar said, 'It is not the same, our dead are in Paradise while your dead are in the Fire.' Abu Sufyan said, 'Indeed, you will find in your dead a similar number. However, that was not according to our plan.' Then he encountered the zeal of ignorance and said, 'If that is the case, then we did not like it.'"

[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] He once stood as a preacher and mentioned a hadith in his sermon about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Samurah, one of the Ansar, said, "There was a young boy with me, and we used to throw arrows at a target during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . When the sun rose, it would shine in the eyes of the onlooker like the tip of a spear or two spears turned black. One of us said to his companion, 'Let's go to the Mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and, by Allah, the sun will rise today and mention a hadith to the Messenger of Allah in his ummah.' So, we went towards the mosque until we encountered the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he came out and straightened his back and prayed. He stood with us as long as he ever stood in prayer, to the point where we could not hear his voice. Then he stood up and did the same in the second raka'ah. Then he sat, and as he sat, the sunlight cleared. He gave the Salam and left, and he praised Allah and glorified Him, and testified that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and that he is the servant of Allah and His Messenger. Then he said, 'O people, I am only human, a Messenger who warns you about Allah. If you know that I have omitted anything in conveying the message of my Lord, then let me know.' The people said, 'We bear witness that you have conveyed the message of your Lord, advised your ummah, and fulfilled what was upon you.' Then he said, 'As for what follows, there are people who claim that when an eclipse occurs for the sun and moon, and when stars are removed from their positions due to the death of great men from the people of the earth, they are lying. Rather, these are the signs of Allah by which He frightens His servants. Thus, let those of them who will repent, as by Allah, I have seen things that you have not encountered in your worldly affairs nor in your Hereafter since I stood praying. And by Allah, the Hour will not be established until thirty liars will emerge, one of whom is the one-eyed False Messiah (Dajjal), whose eye is like the raised lump of flesh on the side of 'Abi Talha, the blind man, between him and the room of 'A'ishah. It will appear that he (Dajjal) is Allah, so whoever believes in him, confirms his belief in him, and follows him, then his good deeds will not benefit him from the account of his past deeds. And he (Dajjal) will appear on the entire earth except for the Haram and the blessed land of Al-Masjid al-Aqsa. And truly, he will drive the Muslims towards Al-Masjid al-Aqsa, where they will be besieged intensely."

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

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Mecca for seven years, following the people to their homes in Okaz, Majannah, and the seasons in Mina. He would say, "Who will provide shelter and support me until I convey the messages of my Lord?" Even the people from Yemen or Egypt would come to him, and their clans would warn them, saying, "Beware of the boy from Quraysh who may deceive you." He would walk among them as they pointed at him with their fingers. Then Allah sent support from Yathrib and we provided him refuge and believed in him. The man would leave us, and upon returning to his people he would deliver Islam to them, and they would embrace it until there was no house left in the houses of the Ansar without some Muslims living in it, openly practicing Islam. Then we gathered and said, "How long will we let the Prophet ﷺ be expelled and live in fear in the mountains of Mecca?" So seventy of us set out until we reached him during the pilgrimage season, and we pledged allegiance to him at Al-Aqaba. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, for what reason should we pledge allegiance to you?" He said, "Pledge allegiance to me to listen and obey in times of energy or laziness, hardship or ease, to spend in times of difficulty or abundance, to enjoy what is good and forbid what is evil, and to not care about the blame of the blamers, and to support and protect me just as you would protect yourselves, your wives, and your children, and Paradise will be yours." So we stood up and pledged allegiance to him. Sa'd ibn Zurarah, the youngest among us, held his hand and said, "O people of Yathrib, we have not even struck the backs of camels unless we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah, and that his expulsion today is a dispute for all the Arabs, and the killing of your best men, and the swords are about to reach you. So either you endure that and your reward will be with Allah, or you fear for yourselves and show your weakness. Clarify your choice, for it is easier for you." They said, "Remove this doubt, for by Allah, we will never abandon this pledge." So we pledged allegiance to him, and he placed conditions for us to be given Paradise in return.

[Machine] The people, O Messenger of Allah, asked: "Will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun when there are no clouds?" They replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Then, do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on a full moon night when there are no clouds?" They replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Indeed, you will see Him on the Day of Resurrection just as you have no difficulty in seeing the sun and the moon in their clear skies. Allah will gather the people on the Day of Resurrection and say, 'Whoever used to worship something, let him follow it.' So, those who used to worship the sun will follow the sun, and those who used to worship the moon will follow the moon, and those who used to worship idols will follow the idols. Then, the remainder of this Ummah will remain with their hypocrites. Allah will come to them in a form that they will recognize and will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'We seek refuge with Allah from you. This is our place until our Lord comes to us.' When our Lord comes to them, they will recognize Him and say, 'You are our Lord.' But a bridge will be placed over Hellfire." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I will be the first one to cross it. The invocation of the Messengers on that day will be, 'O Allah, grant safety, grant safety,' and with me will be my followers, resembling the boughs of a tree (or the sa'adān)?" It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the boughs of a tree (sa'adān)?" He replied, "Do you know the extent of the boughs of a tree?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "It is like that, but Allah Alone knows its real extent. Then, the people will go on being examined and interrogated regarding their deeds. Some of them will be saved by their deeds, while others will be ruined, Many of those who will be ruined will be subject to punishment and thus will be purified (through the fire of Hell), until Allah, the Lord of the worlds, will come to them and ask, 'Whoever said, 'La ilaha illâ Allah' (None has the right to be worshiped but Allah), bring all his good deeds to reward him.' They will come forward with all their good deeds, but the one who will weigh most heavily in the balance, will be his testimony of having said, 'La ilaha illâ Allah.' The person will be saved (from the Hellfire) and laughed at." Allah will then say, "Go and enter the Paradise." The person will keep asking Allah for the fulfillment of his desires, so Allah will remind him and say, "Didn't you assert that you would not ask for anything other than what you have already been given? Woe to you, O son of Adam! How treacherous you were!" The person will then invoke Allah again and again, and Allah will say, "If I give you that, will you then ask for anything else?" The person will say, "No, by Your Majesty! I shall not ask for anything else." Allah will fulfill his desire and let him enter Paradise. The person will be so contented that he will remain quiet and will not stand up (for any need), but Allah will prompt him and say, "Do you want anything else?" Until all his desires and wishes will be fulfilled, then Allah will say, "This is for you, and so is ten times the like of it, and a similar palace, the like of which you have seen." Abu Sa`id (a companion of the Prophet) added, "If you wish, you can recite this verse from the Holy Quran: 'For those who have done good is the best reward and even more.'" (10:26)  

النَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ نَرَى رَبَّنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هَلْ تُضَارُّونَ فِي الشَّمْسِ لَيْسَ دُونَهَا سَحَابٌ؟ » قَالُوا لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَهَلْ تُضَارُّونَ فِي الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ لَيْسَ دُونَهُ سَحَابٌ؟ » قَالُوا لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَإِنَّكُمْ تَرَوْنَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَذَلِكَ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ شَيْئًا فَلْيَتَّبِعْهُ فَيَتَّبِعُ مَنْ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ الشَّمْسَ الشَّمْسَ وَمَنْ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ الْقَمَرَ الْقَمَرَ وَيَتَّبِعُ مَنْ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ الطَّوَاغِيتَ الطَّوَاغِيتَ وَتَبْقَى هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ فِيهَا مُنَافِقُوهَا فَيَأْتِيهِمُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا فِي غَيْرِ صُورَتِهِ الَّتِي يَعْرِفُونَ فَيَقُولُ أَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْكَ هَذَا مَقَامُنَا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَنَا رَبُّنَا فَإِذَا جَاءَنَا رَبُّنَا عَرَفْنَاهُ قَالَ فَيَأْتِيهِمْ فِي الصُّورَةِ الَّتِي يَعْرِفُونَ فَيَقُولُ أَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ أَنْتَ رَبُّنَا وَيُضْرَبُ جِسْرٌ عَلَى جَهَنَّمَ» قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «فَأَكُونُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يَجُوزُهُ وَدَعْوَةُ الرُّسُلِ يَوْمَئِذٍ اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْ سَلِّمْ وَبِهِ كَلَالِيبُ مِثْلُ شَوْكِ السَّعْدَانِ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ شَوْكَ السَّعْدَانِ؟ » قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَإِنَّهَا مِثْلُ شَوْكِ السَّعْدَانِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَعْلَمُ قَدْرَ عِظَمِهَا إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَتَخْطَفُ النَّاسَ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ فَمِنْهُمُ الْمُوبَقُ بِعَمَلِهِ وَمِنْهُمُ الْمُخَرْدَلُ ثُمَّ يَنْجُو حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْقَضَاءِ بَيْنَ عِبَادِهِ وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ مِنَ النَّارِ مَنْ أَرَادَ مِمَّنْ كَانَ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ أَنْ يُخْرِجُوهُمْ فَيَعْرِفُونَهُمْ بِعَلَامَةِ آثَارِ السُّجُودِ قَالَ وَحَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّارِ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ مِنِ ابْنِ آدَمَ أَثَرَ السُّجُودِ قَالَ فَيُخْرِجُونَهُمْ قَدِ امْتُحِشُوا فَيُصَبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَاءٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَاءُ الْحَيَاةِ فَيَنْبُتُونَ نَبَاتَ الْحَبَّةِ فِي حَمِيلِ السَّيْلِ قَالَ وَيَبْقَى رَجُلٌ مُقْبِلٌ بِوَجْهِهِ عَلَى النَّارِ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ قَدْ قَشَبَنِي رِيحُهَا وَأَحْرَقَنِي ذَكَاؤُهَا فَاصْرِفْ وَجْهِي عَنِ النَّارِ فَلَا يَزَالُ يَدْعُو فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا فَلَعَلِّي إِنْ أَعْطَيْتُكَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهُ فَيَقُولُ لَا وَعِزَّتِكَ لَا أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهُ فَيَصْرِفُ وَجْهَهُ عَنِ النَّارِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَا رَبِّ قَرِّبْنِي إِلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَقُولُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا أَلَيْسَ قَدْ زَعَمْتَ أَنْ لَا تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهُ؟ وَيْلَكَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَا أَغْدَرَكَ فَلَا يَزَالُ يَدْعُو فَيَقُولُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا فَلَعَلَّكَ إِنْ أَعْطَيْتُكَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهُ فَيَقُولُ لَا وَعِزَّتِكَ لَا أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهُ وَيُعْطِي اللَّهَ مِنْ عُهُودٍ وَمَوَاثِيقَ أَنْ لَا يَسْأَلَهُ غَيْرَهُ فَيُقَرِّبُهُ إِلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلَمَّا قَرَّبَهُ مِنْهَا انْفَهَقَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ فَإِذَا رَأَى مَا فِيهَا سَكَتَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَسْكُتَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ فَيَقُولُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا أَلَيْسَ قَدْ زَعَمْتَ أَنْ لَا تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهُ وَيْلَكَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَا أَغْدَرَكَ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي أَشْقَى خَلْقِكَ قَالَ فَلَا يَزَالُ يَدْعُو حَتَّى يَضْحَكَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا فَإِذَا ضَحِكَ مِنْهُ أَذِنَ لَهُ بِالدُّخُولِ دُخُولِ الْجَنَّةِ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ قِيلَ لَهُ تَمَنَّ كَذَا وَتَمَنَّ كَذَا فَيَتَمَنَّى حَتَّى تَنْقَطِعَ بِهِ الْأَمَانِيُّ فَيَقُولُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا هُوَ لَكَ وَمِثْلُهُ مَعَهُ» قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «هُوَ لَكَ وَعَشَرَةُ أَمْثَالِهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ حَفِظْتُ » هُوَ لَكَ وَمِثْلُهُ مَعَهُ وَذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ آخِرُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ دُخُولًا «  

[Machine] When it was Monday, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ removed the curtain of the room and saw Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq praying with the people. He said, "I looked at his face, and it was as if it was a page of the Quran, and he was smiling. We almost got distracted in our prayers out of joy of seeing the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Abu Bakr intended to move, but when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured to him, he stayed in his place. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ opened the curtain and performed his prayer. On the same day, he passed away. Umar ibn Al-Khattab stood up and said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not die, but he was sent to him as Moses was sent to him, and he resided among his people for forty nights. By Allah, I hope that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ will live until he cuts off the hands of men from the hypocrites and silences their tongues, who claim that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has died." Al-Zuhri reported that Anas ibn Malik informed him that he heard the speech of Umar ibn Al-Khattab about the Hereafter when he sat on the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day after his death. Umar and Abu Bakr were quiet and did not speak, then Umar said, "As for the yesterday's statement, it was not as I said, and by Allah, I did not find the statement that I said in a book revealed by Allah or in a covenant given to me by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . But I hoped that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would live until he settles our affairs. If Muhammad ﷺ has indeed died, then Allah has placed among you a light, by which you will be guided. Hold fast to it, and be guided by what Allah has guided Muhammad ﷺ to. And indeed, Abu Bakr, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , is the second of the two. And he is the most deserving among you of your affairs. So pledge allegiance to him. And indeed, a group of them had already pledged allegiance to him in Saqifah Bani Sa'idah. And the pledge of the common people was on the pulpit."  

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الِاثْنَيْنِ كَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُتْرَةَ الْحُجْرَةِ فَرَأَى أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ ؓ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ كَأَنَّهُ وَرَقَةُ مُصْحَفٍ وَهُوَ يَتَبَسَّمُ فَكِدْنَا أَنْ نَفْتَتِنَ فِي صَلَاتِنَا فَرَحًا بِرُؤْيَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَرَادَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ أَنْ يَنْكُصَ حِينَ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «كَمَا أَنْتَ» ثُمَّ أَرْخَى السِّتْرَ وَتُوُفِّيَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ذَلِكَ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَمُتْ وَلَكِنَّهُ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِ كَمَا أُرْسِلَ إِلَى مُوسَى فَمَكَثَ فِي قَوْمِهِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَعِيشَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى يَقْطَعَ أَيْدِيَ رِجَالٍ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَأَلْسِنَتَهُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ مَاتَ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ خُطْبَةَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ الْآخِرَةَ حِينَ جَلَسَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَذَلِكَ الْغَدَ مِنْ يَوْمِ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَتَشَهَّدَ عُمَرُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ صَامِتٌ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي قُلْتُ أَمْسَ مَقَالَةً وَإِنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ كَمَا قُلْتُ وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا وَجَدْتُ الْمَقَالَةَ الَّتِي قُلْتُ فِي كِتَابٍ أَنْزَلَهُ اللَّهُ وَلَا فِي عَهْدٍ عَهِدَهِ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَكِنِّي كُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَعِيشَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى يَدْبُرَنَا يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ أَنْ يَكُونَ آخِرَهُمْ فَإِنْ يَكُ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ قَدْ مَاتَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ جَعَلَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ نُورًا تَهْتَدُونَ بِهِ فَاعْتَصِمُوا بِهِ تَهْتَدُوا لِمَا هَدَى اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ ثُمَّ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَثَانِي اثْنَيْنِ وَإِنَّهُ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِأُمُورِكُمْ فَقُومُوا فَبَايِعُوهُ وَكَانَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ قَدْ بَايَعُوهُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فِي سَقِيفَةِ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ وَكَانَتْ بَيْعَةُ الْعَامَّةِ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ  

[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 Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said while we were in Al-Medina, "I have been informed about the army of Abu Sufyan that it is approaching. Would you like us to go out to face this army in the hope that Allah may bless us with its spoils?" We replied, "Yes." So, the Prophet and we went out. After we had traveled for a day or two, he asked us, "What do you see concerning the enemy? Has news of your departure spread among them?" We replied, "No, by Allah, they do not know of our departure, nor do we have the strength to fight them. We only desire to gain the spoils." The Prophet then asked, "What do you see concerning fighting the enemy?" We replied, "The same as you, O Messenger of Allah." Al-Miqdad ibn Amr then said, "Then we should not say to you what the people of Moses said to Moses, 'Go, you and your Lord, and fight. We are sitting right here.'" So, we wished that we had said what Al-Miqdad said, even if it meant not having great wealth. Then, Allah, the Exalted, sent down (two verses) on His Messenger: 'As your Lord brought you forth from your house in truth, while a party among the believers were averse to it in dispute with you after the truth had become clear, as if they were being driven to death while they were looking on' (Quran 8:5-6). And Allah revealed, 'Indeed, I am with you, so respond to those who have believed and have trust in me. I shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike above their necks and strike all their finger joints' (Quran 8:12). And He also revealed, 'And when Allah promised you one of the two groups (of enemies) that it would be yours and you wished that the unarmed one would be yours' (Quran 8:7). The "group" referred to the enemy, while "the unarmed one" referred to the spoils of war. When we were thus promised victory over one of the two groups (of enemies), either the enemy or the spoils, it pleased us. Then, the Messenger of Allah sent a man to scout the enemy's position. He came back saying, "I saw them as blackness and I do not know." The Messenger of Allah said, "They are they, so come, let us go and meet them." So, we proceeded and found ourselves to be 313 men. The Messenger of Allah informed us of our number, so Allah blessed us with that. Then, he praised Allah and said, 'The number of soldiers for the campaign of Talut were just like this.' Then, we met the enemy and the front rows of our army attacked the front rows of theirs. The Messenger of Allah looked at them and said, 'Fight with me, fight with me!' Then the Messenger of Allah recited, 'O Allah, I ask You for Your Promise.' Ibn Rawaha said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I want to direct you by gestures.' The Messenger of Allah is the best of those who can be directed by gestures. Allah is greater than to be asked for His Promise and then abandoned. So, he took a handful of soil and tossed it into the faces of the enemy. They turned their backs and fled. Allah then revealed, 'It was not you who threw, when you threw, but it was Allah who threw' (Quran 8:17). So, we killed and captured and among those captured was the wife of Abu Sufyan. Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I do not think that you should have captives until we cut our enemies down, because they might submit to their religion out of compassion for them.' The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , refrained from doing so. Then, the Messenger of Allah fell asleep and then woke up and said, 'Invoke Allah's blessings upon Umar.' So, he was invoked blessings upon. The Messenger of Allah said, 'Verily, Allah, the Exalted, has revealed: 'It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he has fought against the enemies in the land. You desire the fleeting goods of this worldly life, while Allah desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allah is Mighty and Wise' (Quran 8:67)'.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ «إِنِّي أُخْبِرْتُ عَنْ عِيرِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ أَنَّهَا مُقْبِلَةٌ فَهَلْ لَكُمْ أَنْ نُخْرِجَ قِبَلَ هَذَا الْعِيرِ؟ لَعَلَّ اللهُ يُغْنِمُنَاهَا» فَقُلْنَا نَعَمْ فَخَرَجَ وَخَرَجْنَا فَلَمَّا سِرْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ قَالَ لَنَا «مَا تَرَوْنَ فِي الْقَوْمِ فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ أُخْبِرُوا بِمَخْرَجِكُمْ؟» فَقُلْنَا لَا وَاللهِ مَالَنَا طَاقَةٌ بِقِتَالِ الْعَدُوِّ وَلَكِنْ أَرَدْنَا الْعِيرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَا تَرَوْنَ فِي قِتَالِ الْقَوْمِ؟» فَقُلْنَا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو إِذَنْ لَا نَقُولُ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى لِمُوسَى {فَاذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلَا إِنَّا هَاهُنَا قَاعِدُونَ} قَالَ فَتَمَنَّيْنَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ لَوْ أَنَّا قُلْنَا كَمَا قَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَنَا مَالٌ عَظِيمٌ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ {كَمَا أَخْرَجَكَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّ فَرِيقًا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَكَارِهُونَ يُجَادِلُونَكَ فِي الْحَقِّ بَعْدَ مَا تَبَيَّنَ كَأَنَّمَا يُسَاقُونَ إِلَى الْمَوْتِ وَهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ} ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {أَنِّي مَعَكُمْ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا سَأُلْقِي فِي قُلُوبِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ فَاضْرِبُوا فَوْقَ الْأَعْنَاقِ وَاضْرِبُوا مِنْهُمْ كُلَّ بَنَانٍ} وَقَالَ {وَإِذْ يَعِدُكُمُ اللهُ إِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ أَنَّهَا لَكُمْ وَتَوَدُّونَ أَنَّ غَيْرَ ذَاتِ الشَّوْكَةِ تَكُونُ لَكُمْ} وَالشَّوْكَةُ الْقَوْمُ وَغَيْرُ ذَاتِ الشَّوْكَةِ الْعِيرُ فَلَمَّا وَعَدَنَا إِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ إِمَّا الْقَوْمُ وَإِمَّا الْعِيرُ طَابَتْ أَنْفُسُنَا ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ رَجُلًا لِيَنْظُرَ مَا قِبَلَ الْقَوْمِ؟ فَقَالَ رَأَيْتُ سَوَادًا وَلَا أَدْرِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هُمْ هُمْ هَلُمُّوا أَنْ نَتَعَادَ» فَفَعَلْنَا فَإِذَا نَحْنُ ثَلَاثَ مِائَةٍ وَثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا فَأَخْبَرَنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بِعِدَّتِنَا فَسَّرَهُ ذَلِكَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَقَالَ «عِدَّةُ أَصْحَابِ طَالُوتَ» ثُمَّ إِنَّا اجْتَمَعْنَا مَعَ الْقَوْمِ فَصَفَفْنَا فَبَدَرَتْ مِنَّا بَادِرَةٌ أَمَامَ الصَّفِّ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ «مَعِي مَعِي» ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَنْشُدُكَ وَعْدَكَ» فَقَالَ ابْنُ رَوَاحَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُشِيرَ عَلَيْكَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَفْضَلُ مَنْ يُشِيرُ عَلَيْهِ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ تَنْشُدَهُ وَعْدَهُ فَقَالَ «يَا ابْنَ رَوَاحَةَ لَأَنْشُدَنَّ اللهَ وَعْدَهُ فَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ» فَأَخَذَ قَبْضَةً مِنَ التُّرَابِ فَرَمَى بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وُجُوهِ الْقَوْمِ فَانْهَزَمُوا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَمَا رَمَيْتَ إِذْ رَمَيْتَ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ رَمَى} فَقَتَلْنَا وَأَسَرْنَا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَرَى أَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ أَسْرَى فَإِنَّمَا نَحْنُ دَاعُونَ مُوَلِّفُونَ فَقُلْنَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِنَّمَا يَحْمِلُ عُمَرُ عَلَى مَا قَالَ حَسَدًا لَنَا فَنَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «ادْعُوا لِي عُمَرَ» فَدُعِيَ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيَّ {مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ أَسْرَى حَتَّى يُثْخِنَ فِي الْأَرْضِ تُرِيدُونَ عَرَضَ الدُّنْيَا وَاللهُ يُرِيدُ الْآخِرَةَ وَاللهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ}  

[Machine] Amr Al-Shabi narrated to me, Fatimah bint Qais said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one day and prayed the prayer of migration, then he sat down and the people were startled. He said, "O people, I did not leave my place out of fear, but Tamim Al-Dari came to me and told me news that prevented me from taking a nap with joy and ease. So I wanted to give you the good news of your Prophet. He informed me that a group of his relatives from the Banu 'Amir rode the sea and a storm struck them, so they took refuge on an island. They sat near a ship until they boarded the island, and suddenly they saw a creature with a lot of hair, they did not know whether it was a man or a woman. They greeted him and he responded. They said, 'Will you not tell us who you are?' He replied, 'I am not informing you nor am I interrogating you, but there is someone in this monastery who is eager to inform you and to interrogate you.' They asked, 'And who are you?' He said, 'I am the spy.' So they set out until they reached the monastery, and they found a man who was tightly bound in iron chains, looking very sad and complaining a lot. They greeted him and he responded. They asked, 'Who are you?' He said, 'I am from the Arabs.' They asked, 'What did the Arabs do to their Prophet after he was expelled?' They said, 'They believed in him, followed him, and confirmed him.' He said, 'That is good for them.' They asked, 'Did he have any enemies?' He said, 'Yes, and Allah supported him over them.' They asked, 'Do the Arabs have one God?' He said, 'Yes.' They asked, 'Do they have one word?' He said, 'Yes.' They asked, 'Do they have one religion?' He said, 'Yes.' They asked, 'What did 'Uyaynah bin Hisn do?' They said, 'He distributed the water of the wells to his people, and they watered their crops with it.' They asked, 'What did the palm tree between 'Umman and Bayssan do?' They said, 'It provides shade for its branches every year.' They asked, 'What did Lake Tabariyyah do?' They said, 'It is full.' He exclaimed, 'Then he sighed twice and said, 'By Allah, if I were to go out of my place here, I would not leave any land of Allah's except that I would tread it, except for Taibah, for it is not mine to tread on. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, this is one of the things that make me happy.' He said that three times. Indeed, Taibah is Al-Madinah. Then Allah has made it forbidden for the Dajjal. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ swore, 'By Allah, who there is no god but He, there is no narrow path or wide valley for it, nor any mountain, except that it has an angel standing with a drawn sword until the Day of Resurrection. The Dajjal cannot enter it with its people.' Al-Shabi said, 'So I met Al-Muharrar ibn Abi Hurairah and I narrated to him the Hadith of Fatimah, and he said, 'I bear witness that my father narrated to me as Fatimah narrated to you, except that he said, 'It is in the east.' Then I met Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad and he said, 'I bear witness that 'A'ishah narrated to me as Fatimah narrated to you, except that she said, 'The two sanctuaries are Haram for it: Makkah and Al-Madinah.' And the wording of the Hadith is according to the Hadith of Yahya bin Sa'id and the others similar to it.

[Machine] Halimah bint Abi Dhuayb al-Sa'diyyah, the nursing mother of the Prophet ﷺ , informed me that she said, "We were afflicted with a year of drought in which nothing was left for us. So we set out, a group of women from the tribe of Sa'd ibn Bakr, to seek nursing in Makkah. When we arrived in Makkah, there was not a single woman among us whom the Prophet of Allah ﷺ did not propose to marry. Some accepted and some refused. This was because he had no father and the Arabs used to hope for goodness from their fathers. The women used to say, 'What will I do with him? How can his mother, who is like my mother, dislike him?' So, he was offered to me, and I accepted him. There was not a woman from my people who did not find a nursing infant. When they were about to return to their lands, I feared that I would go back without an infant. So, I said to my husband, 'If I were to take that orphaned boy, it would be better than going back without a nursing infant.' So, I went to his mother and took him from her, and I brought him to my home. I had a son whom I was nursing, and he used to stay awake at night due to hunger and would not sleep. But when I placed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on my bosom, he would suckle from me until he was satisfied. He suckled, and his brother also confirmed this. Then he went to sleep and my husband woke up in the middle of the night to go to Sham (Syria). I feared that they would both starve. So, I said to him, 'Take him to his people before any harm comes to him.' He said, 'O daughter of Wahb! I think that this boy is blessed. Then he informed me of what the fortune teller had told him, so I informed him of what I had seen with my own eyes. We set out on our animals. They used to say that we left nothing that resembled a red camel except that they would complain to it, saying, 'Woe to you! Where are you going, being led by the shepherd of the daughter of Abi Dhuayb?' This continued until there was a day when we were behind our houses in Bani Sa'd. As we were playing, his brother came running to us and said, 'That Quraishi boy has been killed. So we hurried to reach him, me and his father. When we arrived, we found him lying motionless. His father took him from me and said, 'I don't see this boy except that he has been harmed. Take him back to his family before things get worse for us.' I didn't have any inclination to do so, until I took him to his mother in Makkah and I said to her, 'O Zahrah! I have weaned my son and he has been freed from the illness. So, return him to his family.' She said, 'Why are you in such a hurry to get rid of him? Weren't you asking me to leave him with you? It's as if you feared that Satan would harm him. First, let me tell you about me and him. When I gave birth to him, I saw a light emanating from me that illuminated the castles of Busra in Sham.'"

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, how was your Night Journey with Allah?" He said, "I performed the night prayer of At-Tahajjud with my companions in Makkah while it was dark. Then Jibril ﷺ came to me riding a white animal, larger than a donkey but smaller than a mule. He said, 'Mount,' and it was difficult for me. It then circled around me by my ear, and then I was carried on it. We proceeded swiftly until we reached a land with date palm trees. He said, 'Alight.' So, I alighted and prayed. Then, we rode again and he asked me, 'Do you know where you prayed?' I said, 'Allah knows best.' He said, 'You prayed in Yathrib (Madinah), you prayed in Tayyibah (Madinah).' Then, we rode again and he asked me again, 'Do you know where you prayed?' I said, 'Allah knows best.' He said, 'You prayed in Madyan (Madinah), where the tree of Musa (Moses) is. Then, we rode again until we entered Madinah from its southeastern gate, the gate of Al-Yamaniyyah. We reached the Qiblah of the Masjid and tied the animal. We entered the Masjid through a gate where the sun was inclined. I prayed from the Masjid wherever Allah willed. I felt the most severe thirst I have ever felt, and then I was given two vessels, one filled with milk and the other with honey. I drank until I felt it coming out of my forehead, and there was an elderly man sitting behind me leaning against a cushion. He said, 'Your companion has received the Fitrah (the natural inclination of the human soul to worship Allah alone). He will be guided.' Then, Jibril took me until we reached the valley of Madinah where Hellfire was exposed like the width of a tent. We asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, how did you find it?' He said, 'It was like the hottest part of a very hot oven.' Then, he took me past a settlement of Quraysh where a camel was standing apart from the rest. I greeted them and some of them said, 'This is the voice of Muhammad.' Then, I returned to my companions before Fajr time in Makkah. Abu Bakr came to me and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, where were you last night? I searched for you in your place.' I said, 'Do you know that I went to Masjid Al-Aqsa last night?' He said, 'O Messenger of Allah, it takes a month to travel there and back, describe it to me.' So, Allah made the reflection of Masjid Al-Aqsa appear in front of me like a mirror and I described it to him. Then, I was shown a black line on my left side and two dark lines on my right side. When that day came, the people came closer, looking at the Prophet ﷺ , until it was close to midday when the people started to come forth and the camel described by the Prophet ﷺ approached them."

[Machine] We were a people of merchants, and war had besieged us between us and the Messenger of Allah until our wealth was destroyed. When a ceasefire was made between us and the Messenger of Allah, we did not feel safe with our wealth. So I went out with a group from Quraysh, heading towards Syria, where our trade was. I arrived there during the time when Heraclius appeared. He detained those who opposed him from Persia and confiscated their cross, which they had seized from him. When Heraclius heard this news from them and learned that his cross had been saved for him, he was overjoyed and thanked Allah. When Heraclius returned to him what he had returned for him to pray in the holy house, the path was extended for him with rugs and scented with musk. When he reached Jerusalem and completed his prayer, with him were his staff and the bishops of the Romans. The Messenger of Allah’s letter arrived for him, carried by Dhihya ibn Khalifa al-Kalbi, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. From Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, to Heraclius, the great leader of the Romans, peace be upon whoever follows guidance. To proceed, submit and you will be safe. Submit and Allah will give you twice your reward. But if you turn away, then the sin of the disbelievers will be upon you. Muhammad ibn Ishaq said that Ibn Shihab narrated to him that the bishops of the Christians said, "I met him (Heraclius) during the time of 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan and he claimed that he knew about the affair of the Messenger of Allah and Heraclius. His intellect mentioned that when he received the Messenger of Allah's letter. he placed it between his two thighs and waist. Then he wrote to a man in Rome who used to recite from the Hebrew what he recited, mentioning his affair and describing his state. With this news that had come to him, he wrote to the companion of the Roman asking him to inform Heraclius that this was the Prophet that they had been awaiting, with no doubt about him. So they followed him and believed in him, and Heraclius ordered the bishops of the Romans to bring him the crosses of the Romans. They gathered them for him in a pillowcase, which was carried on the gates, and then he inspected them from above and appreciated them, for they feared for their own selves. They said, 'O Romans, I have gathered you for news. This man has sent me a letter inviting me to his religion, and by Allah, this is the man that we have been anticipating, and we find mention of him in our scriptures. So come, let us follow him and believe in him, and he will grant us our worldly needs as well as the hereafter.' So they prostrated before him, and he ordered the opening of the gates, so they opened for them and they left.

[Machine] He (al-Hajjaj) said to Abdullah bin Salam, "Your father, do you know a narration that your father, Abdullah bin Salam, narrated from your grandfather, Abdulah bin Salam, from his father, Abdullah bin Salam?" He (Abdullah bin Salam) said, "And what narration may Allah have mercy upon you?" (meaning what specific narration are you referring to). He (al-Hajjaj) said, "The narration of the Egyptians when they came to Uthman." He (Abdullah bin Salam) said, "I knew that narration already." So, Abdullah bin Salam went towards Uthman while he was confined. He (Abdullah) greeted him and Uthman said, "Peace be upon you, O Amir al-Mu'minin." Abdullah bin Salam said, "And upon you be peace. What brings you, O Abdullah bin Salam?" Abdullah bin Salam said, "I came to confirm (the truth) until I bear witness or Allah opens it (the truth) for you. And I do not know about these people except that they are your enemies. If they kill you, then that is good for you and evil for them." Uthman said to him, "I ask you, by the right that I have upon you, what did you intend when you went to them? Did Allah distance you with goodness or confront you with evil?" Abdullah bin Salam heard and obeyed and went to them. When they saw him, they gathered and thought that he had come with some news that favored their desires. So, he stood up and praised Allah and commended him. Then he said, "As for what follows, indeed, Allah sent Muhammad ﷺ as a bearer of glad tidings and as a warner who gives glad tidings of Paradise to those who obey him and warns of the Fire for those who disobey him. And he made clear to his followers the whole religion, even if the polytheists detest it. Then, Allah chose the best dwelling for him, and he chose the city (of Madinah) and made it the abode of emigration and the abode of faith. And by Allah, the angels have been surrounding this city since the Messenger of Allah ﷺ first arrived, and by Allah, the sword of Allah has remained unsheathed against you since the Messenger of Allah ﷺ first arrived until this day." Then he said, "Indeed, Allah sent Muhammad with the truth, so whoever follows him is guided by Allah's guidance, and whoever goes astray after clear proofs and evidence, then he has indeed strayed and deviated. And know that no prophet was killed, except that seventy thousand fighters were also killed along with him. And no caliph was ever killed, except that thirty-five thousand fighters were also killed along with him. So, do not hasten to kill this noble Sheikh, for by Allah, none of you will kill him except that he will meet Allah on the Day of Resurrection with a severed and disabled hand. Know that a parent has no rightful claim over a child except like the right that this Sheikh has over you." He (Abdullah bin Salam) said, "So, they stood up and said, 'The Jews are lying! The Jews are lying!' He (Abdullah bin Salam) said, 'No, by Allah, you are the liars, and I am not from the Jews. Indeed, I am a Muslim.' Allah knows best about it, as does His Messenger and the believers. And it was revealed in the Qur'an concerning me the verse: 'Say: Sufficient is Allah as witness between me and you, and [also] between the knowledge of the Scripture [within me] and you.' And Allah also revealed the other verse: 'Say, "Have you considered: if it is from Allah and you disbelieved in it, and a witness from the Children of Israel has testified to something like it and believed while you were arrogant...?'" He (Abdullah bin Salam) said, "So, they stood up and entered upon U

[Machine] Narrated by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : While I was with a young boy from the Ansar, we were throwing pebbles at a target during the time of the Prophet ﷺ . Suddenly, the sun rose and a black spear or two spears from the horizon covered it until it illuminated as if it were a lantern. One of us said to his companion, "Let us go to the Prophet's ﷺ mosque, and by Allah, he will tell him about this today, and he will inform his nation about it." So, we went to the mosque and met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he came out to the people. He led us in prayer, and it was the longest prayer we had ever witnessed from him. Then, he made a prolonged bow, the longest we had ever seen from him in prayer. Then, he prostrated for a long time, the longest we had ever seen from him in prayer. After that, he stood up and prayed another rak'ah just like the first one. Then, he sat down, and the brightness of the sun disappeared. He greeted us and left, praising Allah and mentioning Him. Then, he said, "O people, I remind you of Allah. If you know that I have conveyed the message of my Lord, then bear witness. If you know that I have shortened the delivery of the message of my Lord, then bear witness." They said, "We bear witness that you have conveyed the message of your Lord, advised your ummah, and fulfilled your duty." Then, he said, "As for what follows, there are men who claim that the eclipse of the sun, the eclipse of the moon, and the disappearance of stars from their places are due to the death of great men from the people of the earth, but they are lying. Rather, these are the signs of Allah by which He warns His servants, so that those among them who have deviated may repent. By Allah, I have seen things concerning your worldly affairs and your hereafter from the time I started praying until now. And by Allah, the Hour will not be established until thirty liars appear, the last of them being the one-eyed Antichrist. He will be wiping his eye, as if it were the eye of my cousin, 'Abdullah bin Abi Quhafah, between whose house and the room of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with them both) there is a distance. Indeed, when he appears, he will claim to be Allah. Whoever believes in him and affirms his claim, will not benefit from any good deeds he had done before. Whoever disbelieves in him and fights against him, will not be inflicted with any punishment for his previous deeds. Indeed, he will appear on the earth, except for the Haram (Makkah) and the holy land (Jerusalem). He will lead people to Jerusalem, where they will be surrounded to an extreme extent." He said, "I thought that he mentioned that 'Isa ibn Maryam would appear among them in the morning and would kill him and his army until even the corners and pillars call out, 'O Muslim! O believer! This is a disbeliever hiding behind me, so come and kill him.' However, this will not occur until you witness severe and great matters occurring among yourselves, and you will argue among yourselves, 'Did your Prophet ﷺ mention that to you?'" Then, he said, "Afterward, the approaching of death."

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "While I and a young man from the Ansar were throwing two items back and forth, we continued this until the sun became darkened and appeared like a tombstone. One of us said to the other, 'Let's go to the mosque, for I swear by Allah, I will inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about this matter in his Ummah.' So I went to the mosque, and there he was standing alone and filled with anxiety. We approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he came out to the people. We stood with him longer than we had ever stood with him in any prayer, never hearing his voice. Then he performed a prostration as long as he had stood with us in prayer, again not hearing his voice. Then he performed a second prostration as long as he had performed the first one, with no sound heard from him. In the second unit of the prayer, he performed the same actions. His prostration coincided with the disappearance of the sun in the second unit. Then he made taslim and praised and glorified Allah, and testified that there is no god but Allah and that he is the Messenger of Allah. Then he said, 'O people, I am only a human being, a Messenger of Allah. I swear by Allah, if you knew what I know, you would have been greatly amazed. By Allah, since I have established regular prayer, I have not seen that which you are seeing with regards to your worldly affairs and the Hereafter. I swear by Allah, the Hour will not be established until thirty liars will appear, the last of them being the Dajjal. He will be one-eyed and blind in the left eye, with his eye looking like a bulging grape. At that time, there will be a man from among the Ansar, who is the grandfatherly figure of Abu Tihayyah. He will be between him and the room of Aisha. Indeed, when he emerges, he will claim to be Allah. Whoever believes in him, acknowledges him, and follows him, then his righteous deeds will not benefit him. Whoever disbelieves in him, denies him, and opposes him, then he will not face any punishment for his previous deeds. Indeed, he will appear on the entire Earth except for the Haram and the blessed land of Jerusalem. He will gather the Muslims in the land of Jerusalem, and they will be besieged intensely. Then Allah will destroy him and his troops, so much so that the wall and the trunk of the palm tree will say, 'O believer, O Muslim, there is a disbeliever among us, come and kill him.' However, this will not occur until you witness great calamities among yourselves, to the extent that you will question one another, 'Did your Prophet ﷺ mention anything about this?' And this will continue until mountains change their positions. Then after that, the Hour will come, and he pointed with his fingers, gesturing left and right, and then he said, 'I bear witness to this sermon of Samurah, for he mentioned in it these matters, and he did not alter their proper places.'"

[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.

[Machine] We were on a journey with the Prophet ﷺ, and we traveled throughout the night until we reached the end of the night before dawn. We had an encounter, and there is no better encounter for a traveler than it. We were only awakened by the heat of the sun, as it was the first time Bilal had awakened, followed by others. Umar ibn al-Khattab was the last to wake up. When the Prophet ﷺ slept, no one would wake him up until he woke up himself, because we did not know what would happen to him in his sleep. When Umar woke up and saw what had happened to the people, he became very upset and raised his voice in takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar). He continued to say takbeer and raise his voice until he woke up the Prophet ﷺ with his voice. The people complained to him about what had happened to them, and he said, "Do not worry, continue the journey." So we continued the journey, and soon after that, we stopped and the Prophet ﷺ called for wudu. He performed wudu and then the call to prayer was made, and he prayed with the people. He prolonged his prayer, and when a man wanted to leave, he did not pray with the people. The Prophet ﷺ asked him why he did not pray with the people, and he said it was because he had janabah (sexual impurity) and no water. The Prophet ﷺ told him to go to the nearby irrigated land (sa'id), as it would be sufficient for him. Then the people complained to him about thirst, so we stopped again and he called a man named Abu Raja' and called Ali. He told them to go and search for water, so they set off and met a woman with two water containers on a camel. They approached her and asked for water, and she said she had made a promise about the water until that time. They told her to go, and she asked where to go, and they said to the Prophet ﷺ. She asked if it was the one they called As-Saabi', and they confirmed. So she went with them to the Prophet ﷺ and told him what had happened. He called for a vessel and placed the water containers in it, then he rinsed his mouth and returned the water to the container, and then he repeated it with the water containers. Then he tied the mouths of the containers and let the water flow, and called out to the people to drink and quench their thirst. He gave the one who had janabah his portion and told him to pour the remaining water on himself. By Allah, she was still standing, watching what he was doing with her water. It seemed to us that they were even more amazed than she was. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Gather for her whatever is between a jar and a sa'iqa and a handful." So they gathered food for her in a garment and placed it in front of her. The Prophet ﷺ told her, "You know, by Allah, we did not take anything from your water, but it was Allah who provided it for us." She went to her people, who were waiting for her, and they asked her why she had been delayed. She said, "By Allah, I have never seen people like them before. Either they are sorcerers, or he is truly the messenger of Allah ﷺ." The Muslims would change places with those around her who were polytheists and would not be struck by the drought that followed. One day, she asked her people if they were interested in Islam, and they obediently went and all embraced Islam.

[Machine] About how he killed Hamza, may Allah have mercy on him? So we approached him and met a man while we were asking about him. He said, "He is a man who has been overcome by this alcohol. If you find him sober, you will find him an Arab man who can tell you whatever stories you want to hear. And if you find him otherwise, then leave him." So we went to him and found him in his courtyard. He looked at Ubaidullah ibn Adi and said, "Ibn Adi ibn Khayar?" He said yes. He said, "I have not seen you since your mother, Al-Sa'adiyya, handed you over to me. It was only when your feet sparkled that I recognized you." He said, "I said to him, 'We came to you to inform us about how you killed Hamza?' He said, 'I was a servant of Jubayr ibn Mut'im, and his uncle was Tu'a'imah ibn Adi. He was killed on the day of Badr. He said, 'If you kill the uncle of Muhammad, my uncle, then you are free.' So I left on the day of Uhud with people, carrying my weapon. My only concern was to achieve freedom, so I attacked Hamza, and Sabaa' ibn Abdul Uzza attacked him as well. I backed off, and he killed Sabaa' while he was cutting people with his sword, like a thirsty camel. When Sabaa' approached him, Hamza said, 'Come, O son of Muktah, the one who cuts off the tails.' So I approached him, and he hit me and I protected myself with something, and I became furious until I was done with it. When I was done, I struck at him and the blow landed on his collarbone. Then I left and retreated and abandoned the fight. I returned among the people to Makkah and I was freed. When Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ , conquered Makkah, I went to Ta'if and stayed there. When the people of Ta'if agreed to make peace with Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ , I was confused about where to go. While I was in my thoughts, a man appeared to me and said, 'Why do I see you like this?' I said, 'I have received news about my uncle, and I see these people have agreed upon peace. I do not know where to go.' He said, 'By Allah, he does not kill anyone who comes to him and proclaims his testimony. So I left just as I am, and by Allah, I did not feel at ease until I stood in front of him in Madinah.' He raised his head and looked at me, and said, 'O Wushayyi (a nickname for Khalid ibn Al-Walid)! I said, 'O Wushayyi, and I testify to his testimony.' He said, 'Woe to you, tell me how you killed Hamza?' So I told him the same way I told you. He said, 'Woe to you, keep your face hidden from me.' So I avoided him until Allah, the Most High, took him away. When Abu Bakr sent the army to Yamama, I went out with the people, and I made Musaylimah my target. I carried him along with another man from the Ansar, and I had my weapon with me, the one I used to kill Hamza. I threw the spear at him, and the Ansari attacked him as well. Surely, your Lord knows who of us killed him. If I killed him, then I have killed the best of people and the worst of people.

[Machine] Al-Khattab, al-Abbas, and Ali bin Abi Talib were arguing about the Prophet's wealth. Umar said, "The wealth of Banu Nadeer was what Allah gave to his Messenger without the Muslims contributing any horses or weapons. It belonged exclusively to the Messenger of Allah, who spent it on his family for a year. Whatever was left was used for horses and weapons in the cause of Allah. After the death of the Prophet, Abu Bakr became its guardian, just as the Messenger of Allah had appointed him. Then I became its guardian, just as Abu Bakr had appointed me. Then you both asked me to give it to you, and I gave it to you on the condition that you use it for the same purposes as the Messenger of Allah had used it. But now you come to me arguing amongst yourselves, wanting me to give half to each of you. Do you want me to make a judgment that is different from what I have already ruled between you? By the One in whose hand is the life of the heavens and the earth, I will not make a judgment different from that. If you are incapable of fulfilling its conditions, then return it to me, and I will suffice you both." Ash-Shafi'i said, "Sufyan told me that he did not hear it directly from Az-Zuhri, but Amr bin Dinar told him about it, and I asked, 'Did he narrate it as you have explained?' and Sufyan said, 'Yes.'"

[Machine] That day I attended a sermon by Samurah ibn Jundub, in which he mentioned that once, when he was a young boy among the Ansar, we played a game near the Prophet's ﷺ covenant until the sun was just above the horizon, it turned black and shone like a firebrand. One of us said to his companion, "Let's go to the mosque and, by Allah, we will inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about what happened to the sun in his nation." So we went to the mosque, and there he was standing at the door. When he went out to the people, he came forward and prayed with us for as long as he had never prayed before, his voice being inaudible. Then he bowed with us as long as he had never bowed before, his voice being inaudible. Then he prostrated with us as long as he had never prostrated before, his voice being inaudible. Then he did the same in the second rakah, and when he rose from the second prostration, the sun had cleared up while he was still sitting and the people were still in the second rakah. Then he said the tasleem, praised and glorified Allah, and testified that there is no god but Allah and that he is His servant and Messenger. Then he said, "O people, I am only a human being and the Messenger of Allah. I remind you of Allah. If you know that I have omitted something of my Lord's messages, inform me of them, so that I may fully convey my Lord's messages as they should be conveyed. And if you know that I have conveyed my Lord's messages, then bear witness to that " So the people got up and said, "We bear witness that you have conveyed your Lord's messages and acted with sincerity towards your nation, and you have fulfilled what was required of you." Then they fell silent, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for the solar eclipse and lunar eclipse and the disappearance of these stars from their place, this is caused by the death of great men from the people of the earth, and they deny it but they are signs from the signs of Allah by means of which He puts His slaves to the test, until He sees who among them will turn in repentance. By Allah, since I started praying, I have been seeing things that neither you nor anyone else on earth can see. The Hour will not begin until thirty liars appear among whom the last will be the one-eyed Dajjal, who will be rubbing the eye with which he is blind and it will look like the eye of Abu Yahya's father, a leader among the Ansar. When he appears, whoever believes in him, follows him, but his former good deeds will not benefit him, and whoever disbelieves in him and rejects him, his previous bad deeds will not be counted against him. He will appear on the entire earth except for the Haram and the Bayt al-Maqdis, and he will gather the believers in the Bayt al-Maqdis, where they will experience a severe earthquake that Allah and His soldiers will be able to defeat him so that even the roots of the trees and the stones of the walls will call out, 'O believer, this one is a disbeliever seeking refuge with me, so come and kill him.' And that will not happen until you see matters becoming more serious among yourselves, and you will ask each other whether your Prophet has informed you of them. The mountains will then move from their places, at which point he gestured with his hand. Then I witnessed another sermon in which he mentioned this hadith, neither adding to it nor omitting anything from it.
