[Machine] The people said, "O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you have any difficulty seeing the sun when there are no clouds covering it?" They replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." He then asked, "Do you have any difficulty seeing the moon on a full moon night when there are no clouds covering it?" They again replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Just like that, you will see Him on the Day of Resurrection. Allah will gather the people and ask those who worshipped something, 'Follow what you worshipped.' So those who worshipped the moon will follow the moon, those who worshipped the sun will follow the sun, and those who worshipped the idols will follow the idols. And this Ummah will be left with its hypocrites. Allah will come to them in a form that they do not recognize, and He 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. Then Allah will come to them in the form that they recognize, and He will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord,' and they will follow Him."

The Prophet ﷺ said, "A bridge will be set up over Hellfire." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I will be the first one to cross it on that day. O Allah, grant us safety, grant us safety.' This bridge will have hooks like the thorns of the Sa'dan tree. Have you seen the Sa'dan tree?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Indeed, it is like the thorns of the Sa'dan tree, but its size and greatness are known only to Allah. People will be snatched away by their deeds. Among them will be those who are caught by their foreheads with the deeds they used to do, and there will be those who are caught by their backsides. They will be saved until when Allah is finished passing judgment among His servants and He wants to bring out of the Fire those who will be entitled to His mercy from among those who themselves said, 'Laa ilaha illallah (There is no God worthy of worship except Allah).' Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) will order the angels, 'Bring out those who used to utter La ilaha illAllah. And the angels will know them by the marks of prostration on their faces and by the traces of wudu' (ablution) on their limbs. Allah has forbidden the Fire to consume the traces of prostrations or ablution.'" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Thus, they will be brought out, having been burned and turned to charcoal. Then the water of life will be poured over them and they will grow just like seeds do in the silt carried by floodwaters. There will be a man who will be facing the Fire and will say, 'O Lord, haven't You promised me that You would not wron [...]

I and two of my companions were so much afflicted by hunger that we had lost our power of seeing and hearing. We presented ourselves (as guests) to the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, but none amongst them would entertain us. So we came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ, and he took us to his residence and there were three goats. Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: Milk these for us. So we milked them and every person amongst us drank his share and we set aside the share of Allah's Apostle ﷺ. (It was his habit) to come during the night and greet (the people present there) in a manner that would not wake up one in sleep but make one who was awake hear it. He would then go to the mosque and say prayer, then go to the milk and drink it. Miqdad added: One night the Satan came to me when I had taken my share, and he said: Muhammad has gone to the Ansar, who would offer him hospitality and he would get what is with them, and he has no need for this draught (of milk). So I took (that milk) and drank it, and when it had penetrated deeply in my stomach and I was certain that there was no way out (but to digest it), the Satan aroused (my sense of) remorse and said: Woe be to thee! what have you done? You have taken the drink reserved for Muhammad! When he would come and he would not find it, he would curse you, and you would be ruined, and thus there would go (waste) this world and the Hereafter (for) you. There was a sheet over me; as I placed (pulled) it upon my feet, my head was uncovered and as I placed it upon my head, my feet were uncovered, and I could not sleep, but my two companions had gone to sleep for they had not done what I had done. There came Allah's Apostle ﷺ, and he greeted as he used to greet (by saying as-Salamu 'Alaikum). He then came to the mosque and observed prayer and then came to his drink (milk) and uncovered it, but did not find anything in it. He raised his head towards the sky, and I said (to myself) that he (the Holy Prophet) was going to invoke curse upon me and I would be thus ruined; but he (the Holy Prophet) said: Allah, feed him who fed me and give drink to him who provided me drink. I held tight the sheet upon myself (and when he had supplicated), I took hold of the knife and went to the goats (possessed by the Holy Prophet) so that I may slauhter one for Messenger of Allah ﷺ which was the fattest amongst them, and in fact all of them were milch goats; then I took hold of the vessel which belonged to the family of Messenger of Allah ﷺ in which they used to milk and drink therefrom, and milked them in that until it swelled up with foam. I came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said: Have you taken your share of the milk during the night? I said: Drink it. and he drank it; he then handed over (the vessel) to me and I said: Messenger of Allah, drink it, and he drank it and handed over (the vessel) to me again, I then perceived that Allah's Apostle ﷺ had been satiated and I had got his blessings. I burst into laughter (so much) so that I fell upon the ground, whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Miqdad, it must be one of your mischiefs. I said: Messenger of Allah, this affair of mind is like this and this. and I have done so. Thereupon. Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: This is nothing but a mercy from Allah. Why is it that you did not give me an opportunity so that we should have awakened our two friends and they would have got their share (of the milk)? I said: By Him Who has sent you with Truth. I do not mind whatever you give (to them), and whatever the (other) people happen to get, when I had got it along with you from among the people. (Using translation from Muslim 2055a)

There lived a king before you and he had a (court) magician. As he (the magician) grew old, he said to the king: I have grown old, send some young boy to me so that I should teach him magic. He (the king) sent to him a young man so that he should train him (in magic). And on his way (to the magician) he (the young man) found a monk sitting there. He (the young man) listened to his (the monk's) talk and was impressed by it. It became his habit that on his way to the magician he met the monk and set there and he came to the magician (late). He (the magician) beat him because of delay. He made a complaint of that to the monk and he said to him: When you feel afraid of the magician, say: Members of my family had detained me. And when you feel afraid of your family you should say: The magician had detained me. It so happened that there came a huge beast (of prey) and it blocked the way of the people, and he (the young boy) said: I will come to know today whether the magician is superior or the monk is superior. He picked up a stone and said: O Allah, if the affair of the monk is dearer to Thee than the affair of the magician, cause death to this animal so that the people should be able to move about freely. He threw that stone towards it and killed it and the people began to move about (on the path freely). He (the young man) then came to that monk and Informed him and the monk said: Sonny, today you are superior to me. Your affair has come to a stage where I find that you would be soon put to a trial, and in case you are put to a trial don't give my clue. That young man began to treat the blind and those suffering from leprosy and he in fact began to cure people from (all kinds) of illness. When a companion of the king who had gone blind heard about him, he came to him with numerous gifts and said: If you cure me all these things collected together here would be yours. Be said: I myself do not cure anyone. It is Allah Who cures and if you affirm faith in Allah, I shall also supplicate Allah to cure you. He affirmed his faith in Allah and Allah cured him and he came to the king and sat by his side as he used to sit before. The king said to him: Who restored your eyesight? He said: My Lord. Thereupon he said: It means that your Lord is One besides me. He said: My Lord and your Lord is Allah, so he (the king) took hold of him and tormented him till he gave a clue of that boy. The young man was thus summoned and the king said to him: O boy, it has been conveyed to me that you have become so much proficient in your magic that you cure the blind and those suffering from leprosy and you do such and such things. Thereupon he said: I do not cure anyone; it is Allah Who cures, and he (the king) took hold of him and began to torment him. So he gave a clue of the monk. The monk was thus summoned and it was said to him: You should turn back from your religion. He, however, refused to do so. He (ordered) for a saw to be brought (and when it was done) he (the king) placed it in the middle of his head and tore it into parts till a part fell down. Then the courtier of the king was brought and it was said to him: Turn back from your religion. Arid he refused to do so, and the saw was placed in the midst of his head and it was torn till a part fell down. Then that young boy was brought and it was said to him: Turn back from your religion. He refused to do so and he was handed over to a group of his courtiers. And he 'said to them: Take him to such and such mountain; make him climb up that mountain and when you reach its top (ask him to renounce his faith) but if he refuses to do so, then throw him (down the mountain). So they took him and made him climb up the mountain and he said: O Allah, save me from them (in any way) Thou likest and the mountain began to quake and they all fell down and that person came walking to the king. The king said to him: What has happened to your companions? He said: Allah has saved me from them. He again handed him to some of his courtiers and said: Take him and carry him in a small boat and when you reach the middle of the ocean (ask him to renounce) his religion, but if he does not renounce his religion throw him (into the water). So they took him and he said: O Allah, save me from them and what they want to do. It was quite soon that the boat turned over and they were drowned and he came walking to the king, and the king said to him: What has happened to your companions? He said: Allah has saved me from them, and he said to the king: You cannot kill me until you do what I ask you to do. And he said: What is that? He said: You should gather people in a plain and hang me by the trunk (of a tree). Then take hold of an arrow from the quiver and say: In the name of Allah, the Lord of the young boy; then shoot an arrow and if you do that then you would be able to kill me. So he (the king) called the people in an open plain and tied him (the boy) to the trunk of a tree, then he took hold of an arrow from his quiver and then placed the arrow in the bow and then said: In the name of Allah, the Lord of the young boy; he then shot an arrow and it bit his temple. He (the boy) placed his hands upon the temple where the arrow had bit him and he died and the people said: We affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man, we affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man, we affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man. The courtiers came to the king and it was said to him: Do you see that Allah has actually done what you aimed at averting. They (the people) have affirmed their faith in the Lord. He (the king) commanded ditches to be dug at important points in the path. When these ditches were dug, and the fire was lit in them it was said (to the people): He who would not turn back from his (boy's) religion would be thrown in the fire or it would be said to them to jump in that. (The people courted death but did not renounce religion) till a woman came with her child and she felt hesitant in jumping into the fire and the child said to her: 0 mother, endure (this ordeal) for it is the Truth. (Using translation from Muslim 3005)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ كَانَ مَلِكٌ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ وَكَانَ لَهُ سَاحِرٌ فَلَمَّا كَبِرَ السَّاحِرُ قَالَ لِلْمَلِكِ إِنِّي قَدْ كَبِرَتْ سِنِّي وَحَضَرَ أَجَلِي فَادْفَعْ إِلَيَّ غُلَامًا فَلَأُعَلِّمُهُ السِّحْرَ فَدَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ غُلَامًا فَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُهُ السِّحْرَ وَكَانَ بَيْنَ السَّاحِرِ وَبَيْنَ الْمَلِكِ رَاهِبٌ فَأَتَى الْغُلَامُ عَلَى الرَّاهِبِ فَسَمِعَ مِنْ كَلَامِهِفَأَعْجَبَهُ نَحْوُهُ وَكَلَامُهُ فَكَانَ إِذَا أَتَى السَّاحِرَ ضَرَبَهُ وَقَالَ مَا حَبَسَكَ؟ وَإِذَا أَتَى أَهْلَهُ ضَرَبُوهُ وَقَالُوا مَا حَبَسَكَ؟ فَشَكَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى الرَّاهِبِ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَرَادَ السَّاحِرُ أَنْ يَضْرِبَكَ فَقُلْ حَبَسَنِي أَهْلِي وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَهْلُكَ أَنْ يَضْرِبُوكَ فَقُلْ حَبَسَنِي السَّاحِرُ قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَتَى ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ عَلَى دَابَّةٍ فَظِيعَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ وَقَدْ حَبَسَتِ النَّاسَ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يَجُوزُوا فَقَالَ الْيَوْمَ أَعْلَمُ أَمْرُ الرَّاهِبِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ أَمْ أَمْرُ السَّاحِرِ؟ فَأَخَذَ حَجَرًا فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ أَمْرُ الرَّاهِبِ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكَ وَأَرْضَى لَكَ مِنَ أَمِرِ السَّاحِرِ فَاقْتُلْ هَذِهِ الدَّابَّةَ حَتَّى يَجُوزَ النَّاسُ وَرَمَاهَا فَقَتَلَهَا وَمَضَى النَّاسُ فَأَخْبَرَ الرَّاهِبَ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَيْ بُنَيَّ أَنْتَ أَفْضَلُ مِنِّي وَإِنَّكَ سَتُبْتَلَى فَإِنْ ابْتُلِيتَ فَلَا تَدُلَّ عَلَيَّ فَكَانَ الْغُلَامُ يُبْرِئُ الْأَكْمَهَ وَسَائِرَ الْأَدْوَاءِ وَيَشْفِيهِمْ وَكَانَ جَلِيسٌ لِلْمَلِكِ فَعَمِيَ فَسَمِعَ بِهِ فَأَتَاهُ بِهَدَايَا كَثِيرَةٍ فَقَالَ اشْفِنِي وَلَكَ مَا هَاهُنَا أَجْمَعُ فَقَالَ مَا أَشْفِي أَنَا أَحَدًا إِنَّمَا يَشْفِي اللهُ فَإِنْ أَنْتَ آمَنْتَ بِهِ دَعَوْتُ اللهَ فَشَفَاكَ فَآمَنَ فَدَعَا اللهَ لَهُ فَشَفَاهُ ثُمَّ أَتَى الْمَلِكَ فَجَلَسَ مِنْهُ نَحْوَ مَا كَانَ يَجْلِسُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ يَا فُلَانُ مَنْ رَدَّ عَلَيْكَ بَصَرَكَ؟ فَقَالَ رَبِّي قَالَ أَنَا؟ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكَ اللهُ قَالَ أَوَلَكَ رَبٌّ غَيْرِي؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُعَذِّبُهُ حَتَّى دَلَّهُ عَلَى الْغُلَامِ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَيْ بُنَيَّ قَدْ بَلَغَ مِنْ سِحْرِكَ أَنْ تُبْرِئَ الْأَكْمَهَ وَالْأَبْرَصَوَهَذِهِ الْأَدْوَاءَ؟ قَالَ مَا أَشْفِي أَنَا أَحَدًا مَا يَشْفِي غَيْرُ اللهِ قَالَ أَنَا؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ أَوَلَكَ رَبٌّ غَيْرِي؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكَ اللهُ فَأَخَذَهُ أَيْضًا بِالْعَذَابِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بِهِ حَتَّى دَلَّ عَلَى الرَّاهِبِ فَأُتِيَ بِالرَّاهِبِ فَقَالَ ارْجِعْ عَنْ دِينِكِ فَأَبَى فَوَضَعَ الْمِنْشَارَ فِي مَفْرِقِ رَأْسِهِ حَتَّى وَقَعَ شِقَّاهُ وَقَالَ لِلْأَعْمَى ارْجِعْ عَنْ دِينِكَ فَأَبَى فَوَضَعَ الْمِنْشَارَ فِي مَفْرِقِ رَأْسِهِ حَتَّى وَقَعَ شِقَّاهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَقَالَ لِلْغُلَامِ ارْجِعْ عَنْ دِينِكَ فَأَبَى فَبَعَثَ بِهِ مَعَ نَفَرٍ إِلَى جَبَلِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ إِذَا بَلَغْتُمْ ذُرْوَتَهُ فَإِنْ رَجَعَ عَنْ دِينِهِ وَإِلَّا فَدَهْدِهُوهُ مِنْ فَوْقِهِ فَذَهَبُوا بِهِ فَلَمَّا عَلَوْا بِهِ الْجَبَلَ قَالَ اللهُمَّ اكْفِنِيهِمْ بِمَا شِئْتَ فَرَجَفَ بِهِمُ الْجَبَلُ فَتَدَهْدَهُوا أَجْمَعُونَ وَجَاءَ الْغُلَامُ يَتَلَمَّسُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَ أَصْحَابُكَ؟ فَقَالَ كَفَانِيهِمُ اللهُ فَبَعَثَ بِهِ مَعَ نَفَرٍ فِي قُرْقُورٍ فَقَالَ إِذَا لَجَجْتُمْ بِهِ الْبَحْرَ فَإِنْ رَجَعَ عَنْ دِينِهِ وَإِلَّا فَغَرِّقُوهُ فَلَجَّجُوا بِهِ الْبَحْرَ فَقَالَ الْغُلَامُ اللهُمَّ اكْفِنِيهِمْ بِمَا شِئْتَ فَغَرِقُوا أَجْمَعُونَ وَجَاءَ الْغُلَامُ يَتَلَمَّسُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَ أَصْحَابُكَ؟ قَالَ كَفَانِيهِمُ اللهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْمَلِكِ إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ بِقَاتِلِي حَتَّى تَفْعَلَ مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ فَإِنْ أَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ قَتَلْتَنِي وَإِلَّا فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ قَتْلِي قَالَ وَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ تَجْمَعُ النَّاسَ فِي صَعِيدٍ ثُمَّ تَصْلُبُنِي عَلَى جِذْعٍ فَتَأْخُذُ سَهْمًا مِنْ كِنَانَتِي ثُمَّ قُلْ بِسْمِ اللهِ رَبِّ الْغُلَامِ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ قَتَلْتَنِي فَفَعَلَ وَوَضَعَالسَّهْمَ فِي كَبِدِ قَوْسِهِ ثُمَّ رَمَى فَقَالَ بِسْمِ اللهِ رَبِّ الْغُلَامِ فَوَضَعَ السَّهْمَ فِي صُدْغِهِ فَوَضَعَ الْغُلَامُ يَدَهُ عَلَى مَوْضِعِ السَّهْمِ وَمَاتَ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْغُلَامِ فَقِيلَ لِلْمَلِكِ أَرَأَيْتَ مَا كُنْتَ تَحْذَرُ؟ فَقَدْ وَاللهِ نَزَلَ بِكَ قَدْ آمَنَ النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ فَأَمَرَ بِأَفْوَاهِ السِّكَكِ فَخُدِّدَتْ فِيهَا الْأُخْدُودُ وَأُضْرِمَتْ فِيهَا النِّيرَانُ وَقَالَ مَنْ رَجَعَ عَنْ دِينِهِ فَدَعُوهُ وَإِلَّا فَأَقْحِمُوهُ فِيهَا قَالَ فَكَانُوا يَتَعَادَوْنَ فِيهَا وَيَتَدَافَعُونَ فَجَاءَتْ امْرَأَةٌ بِابْنٍ لَهَا تُرْضِعُهُ فَكَأَنَّهَا تَقَاعَسَتْ أَنْ تَقَعَ فِي النَّارِ فَقَالَ الصَّبِيُّ يَا أُمَّهْ اصْبِرِي فَإِنَّكِ عَلَى الْحَقِّ  

[Machine] I went to complain to Alaa ibn Al-Hadrami about it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I passed by Al-Rabadha and there was an old lady from the Banu Tamim sitting alone. She said to me, "O Abdullah, I have a need with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Can you convey it to him?" I agreed and carried her on my camel and we arrived at Al-Madinah. When we reached the mosque, it was filled with its people and there was a black flag flapping with a proud horseman holding a sword in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I asked, "What's happening with the people?" They replied, "They want to appoint Amr ibn Al-Aas as their leader." So I sat down. Then he (the Messenger of Allah) entered his house or his tent, and I sought permission to enter. He allowed me to come in, so I entered and greeted him. He asked, "Did you have any dealings with the Banu Tamim?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "They owed us some debts and I passed by an old lady from the Banu Tamim who asked me to convey this to you." Then, she entered and I said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , "If you find it appropriate, create a separation between us and the Banu Tamim." So he requested for a pot of dehn oil, which was smeared on her and she became calm and excited. She asked, "O Messenger of Allah, where will you send Mu'adh?" He replied, "I said, 'I am to them like the Mazi (a type of she-camel) is to the A'd. He replied, 'Indeed, the Mazi died due to carrying loads, and I am to carry this load. But I don't feel that it has been a burden on me. I seek refuge with Allah and His Messenger from being like the feathers of 'Ad.' He asked, 'What is a feather of 'Ad?' He knew the answer better than anyone else, but he wanted to narrate so I replied, 'The 'Ad endured famine, so they sent for a wafid (a person who delivers messages on behalf of others) and they called him Qayl (previously asked). He passed by Mu'awiya ibn Bakr's tent and stayed with him for a month, giving him alcohol to drink and being entertained by two servant girls called al-Jaradatan. When the month was over, he left for the mountains of Tihamah and called out to Allah, "O Allah, You know that I didn't come to cure the sick nor free captives, so let the rains fall on 'Ad as You make them drink, and don't leave a single one of them alive." Then, thick black clouds passed over them and called out, "Take it (rain) from this side and take it from the black part." So he pointed to one of the black clouds and said, "Take it from this one, gray ash". And he said, "Let there not be a single person among the 'Ad." Abu Wa'il said: It was conveyed to me that when the wind was sent against them, it didn't stop until they were annihilated. Then Abu Wa'il said, "The man and the woman, when they send a wafid (messenger) to them, they should not be like the wafid of 'Ad."

[Machine] We arrived with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Hudaybiyyah when we were fourteen hundred and fifty and we had fifty sheep that didn't have enough water, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat on its mountains and either he invoked (Allah for rain) or he spread his hands, so we scattered, and we got water. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for the pledge of allegiance to be given in the trunk of a tree, so he pledged allegiance to him. The first of the people pledged allegiance to him, and he continued until he reached the middle of the people. He said, "O Salamah, pledge allegiance to me." I said, "I have already pledged allegiance to you among the first of the people, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Also pledge (again)." So I pledged allegiance to him. Then he said, "Where is your bracelet or your ring that you gave me?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, my paternal uncle, 'Amir, met me as a stranger, so I gave it to him." He said, "You are like the one whom Allah said about him: 'O Allah, enrich me (with wealth) and make poor (impoverish) me who is most beloved to me than myself.' " Then he laughed. Then the disbelievers sent a peace envoy to us until some of our people met with some of them. He said, "And you used to sell the horse of Talhah bin 'Ubaidullah, I used to feed and drink from it. I left my family and wealth as an emigrant to Allah and His Messenger. When we reconciled between us and the people of Makkah, and some of us started to mix with others, I came to the tree, so I swept its thorns and laid in its shade. Then four men from the people of Makkah came to me while they were disbelievers acting with aggression towards the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So I moved away from them to another tree, and they hung their weapons and lay down. While they were like that, a caller from the bottom of the valley called, 'O family of Emigrants, Ibn Zunaym has been killed.' So I unsheathed my sword and went towards the four. I took their weapons and turned them into a pile of straw. Then I said, 'By the One who honored Muhammad, no man among you shall raise his head except that I will hit him where I mean.' Then I brought them to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and my uncle 'Amir came with the son of Makraz riding his horse, leading a group of seventy men. So when they arrived, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ glanced at them and said, 'Leave them, they will have the fruits of their misdeeds.' And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the verse, 'And it is He who withheld their hands from you and your hands from them.' Then we returned to Al-Madinah and we stayed in a place called Lahy Jamāl. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sought forgiveness for those who ascended the mountain that night as if they were the forefront for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions. I passed by them that night two or three times. Then we arrived at Al-Madinah, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent his pack with his servant Rabbah, and I was with him. And I left on the horse of Talhah, calling it on its back. When we woke up, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Uwaynah al-Fazzārī had attacked the back of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so everyone attacked him and killed his shepherd.

[Machine] The sons of Saad son of Bakr sent Dhimam son of Tha'labah to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He came to him while he was sitting with his companions. Dhimam was a tall man with thick hair and a widows' peak. He stood in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Which one of you is the son of Abdul-Muttalib?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "I am the son of Abdul-Muttalib." Dhimam asked, "Are you Muhammad?" He replied, "Yes." Dhimam said, "O son of Abdul-Muttalib, I have a question for you, and I am very serious about it, so I hope that it does not cause any harm to me. " The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Ask me whatever you want, freely." Dhimam asked, "I solemnly 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 ﷺ replied, "O Allah, yes." Dhimam asked again, "I solemnly 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 should worship Him alone, without associating anything with Him, and to abandon the idols which our forefathers used to worship besides Him?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "O Allah, yes." Dhimam asked once more, "I solemnly 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 should offer the five daily prayers?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "O Allah, yes." Dhimam continued to ask about the obligations of Islam, one by one, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied "O Allah, yes" to each one. When Dhimam finished, he said, "I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. I will fulfill these obligations and avoid what you have forbidden. I will not add anything or take away anything." Then he left on his camel. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If Dhimam with the two patches of skin on his head was sincere, he will enter Paradise." Dhimam went back to his people and gathered them. The first thing he said was, "How evil are Lat and Uzza!" They said, "What is wrong with you, Dhimam? Fear insanity and leprosy." He replied, "Woe to you! They, by Allah, do not harm or benefit. Allah has sent a Messenger to us and revealed a book upon him to save us from what we used to be in. And I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. I have come to you with what he has commanded and forbade." Then the narrator commented, "By Allah, no day or night passed ever since then that there was not a man or a woman who embraced Islam." Ibn Abbas said, "We have never heard of any delegation that was more honorable than Dhimam bin Tha'labah."

[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. When he entered the Masjid, he saw Abu Jahl sitting among people and went towards him.

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] We spoke with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night and we had a lengthy conversation. Then we returned to our homes, and when we woke up in the morning, we went to the Prophet ﷺ . He said, "The prophets were presented to me last night, along with their followers from their nations. The Prophet came with three men from his people, and the Prophet came with a group and the Prophet came with a smaller group, and the Prophet came alone without anyone from his people. Until Musa ibn Imran came to me in a crowd of the children of Israel, and when I saw them, I was impressed, so I said, 'Lord, who are these?' He said, 'This is your brother Musa ibn Imran and his followers from the children of Israel.' I said, 'Lord, where is my nation?' It was said to me, 'Look to your right.' So I looked, and there was a black cloud approaching Makkah, with the faces of men turning black.' I said, 'Lord, who are these?' He said, 'These are your nation.' Then it was said to me, 'Are you pleased?' I said, 'Lord, I am pleased.' Then it was said to me, 'With them, there are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without any accountability.' Then 'Ukkashah ibn Mihsan, the brother of Banu Asad, stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, pray to your Lord to make me one of them.' He said, 'O Allah, make him one of them.' Then another man stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, pray to your Lord to make me one of them.' He said, 'Ukkashah has already been granted that.' Then the Prophet ﷺ said, 'For you, my father and mother, if you can, strive to be among the seventy thousand. If you cannot, then strive to be among the people of the black cloud. If you cannot, then strive to be among the people on the horizon. Verily, I saw a people who were very much deluded.' Then the Prophet ﷺ recited the verse, 'A group [of the believers] from the earlier generations and a group from the later ones.' (Quran 56:40) The Muslims then started to speculate who these seventy thousand would be, and they said, 'We see them as people who were born into Islam and never cease to practice it until they die.' The narration of this hadith goes back to the Prophet ﷺ , who said, 'That is not the case, rather they are those who do not seek ruqya (charms or amulets), do not cauterize themselves, and do not believe in omens, but rather they put their trust in their Lord.'"

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

[Machine] He 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.'"

Ibn ʿAbbas said: “We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when ʿAli bin Abi Talib came to him, and he said: ‘May my father and mother be ransomed for you! This Qur’an has suddenly left my heart, and I do not find myself capable of it.’ So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: ‘O Abul-Hasan! Should I not teach you words that Allah shall benefit you with, and benefit whomever you teach, and they will make whatever you have learned in your chest firm?’ He said: ‘Of course, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so teach me.’ He ﷺ said: ‘When it is the night of (before) Friday, then if you are able to stand in the last third of the night, then verily it is a witnessed hour, and supplication is answered in it. And my brother Yaʿqub (as) did say to his sons: I shall seek forgiveness for you from my Lord. He said: “Until the night of Friday comes.” So if you are not able, then stand in the middle of it, and if you are not able then stand in the first of it. And pray four Rakʿah. Recite Fatihatul-Kitab (the Opening of the Book) and Surat Ya-Sin in the first Rakʿah, and Fatihatul-Kitab and Ha-Mim Ad-Dukhan in the second Rakʿah, and Fatihatul-Kitab and Alif Lam Mim Tanzil As-Sajdah in the third Rakʿah, and Fatihatul-Kitab and Tabarak Al-Mufassal in the fourth Rakʿah. So when you have finished with the Tasha-hud, then praise Allah and mention Allah’s greatness in an excellent manner, and send Salat upon me - and be excellent in it - and upon the rest of the Prophets. And seek forgiveness for the believing men and the believing women, and for your brothers who have preceded you in faith. Then say in the end of that: “O Allah, have mercy on me by abandonment of sins forever, so long as You keep me remaining. And have mercy on me from taking upon myself what does not concern me, and provide me good sight for what will make You pleased with me. O Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Possessor of glory, and generosity, and honor that is not exceeded. I ask you, O Allah, O Rahman, by Your glory and the light of Your Face, to make my heart constant in remembering Your Book as You taught me, and grant me that I recite it in the manner that will make You pleased with me. O Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Possessor of glory, and generosity, and honor that is not exceeded. I ask you, O Allah, O Rahman, by Your glory and the light of Your Face, to enlighten my sight with Your Book, and make my tongue free with it, and to relieve my heart with it, and to expand my chest with it, and to wash my body with it. For indeed, none aids me upon the truth other than You, and none gives it except You, and there is no might or power except by Allah, the High, the Magnificent.

So do this three Fridays, or five, or seven, you will be answered - by the will of Allah - by the One Who sent me with the Truth, it has not failed a believer once.’” ʿAbdullah bin ʿAbbas said: “So, by Allah, ʿAli did not wait but five or seven until [ʿAli] came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a gathering similar to that and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, indeed I was [a man] in the time that passed, who used to not take except four Ayat or about that much, so when I would recite them to myself they would suddenly depart from me, and today I learn forty Ayat or about that much, and when I recite them to myself, then it is as if the Book of Allah is before my eyes. I used to hear a Hadith and when I would repeat it, it would suddenly depart from me, and today I hear Ahadith, and when I report them, I do not err in a single letter.’ So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said at that point: ‘A believer, by the Lord of the Kaʿbah, O Abul-Hasan.’” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3570)

There lived a king before you and he had a (court) magician. As he (the magician) grew old, he said to the king: I have grown old, send some young boy to me so that I should teach him magic. He (the king) sent to him a young man so that he should train him (in magic). And on his way (to the magician) he (the young man) found a monk sitting there. He (the young man) listened to his (the monk's) talk and was impressed by it. It became his habit that on his way to the magician he met the monk and set there and he came to the magician (late). He (the magician) beat him because of delay. He made a complaint of that to the monk and he said to him: When you feel afraid of the magician, say: Members of my family had detained me. And when you feel afraid of your family you should say: The magician had detained me. It so happened that there came a huge beast (of prey) and it blocked the way of the people, and he (the young boy) said: I will come to know today whether the magician is superior or the monk is superior. He picked up a stone and said: O Allah, if the affair of the monk is dearer to Thee than the affair of the magician, cause death to this animal so that the people should be able to move about freely. He threw that stone towards it and killed it and the people began to move about (on the path freely). He (the young man) then came to that monk and Informed him and the monk said: Sonny, today you are superior to me. Your affair has come to a stage where I find that you would be soon put to a trial, and in case you are put to a trial don't give my clue. That young man began to treat the blind and those suffering from leprosy and he in fact began to cure people from (all kinds) of illness. When a companion of the king who had gone blind heard about him, he came to him with numerous gifts and said: If you cure me all these things collected together here would be yours. Be said: I myself do not cure anyone. It is Allah Who cures and if you affirm faith in Allah, I shall also supplicate Allah to cure you. He affirmed his faith in Allah and Allah cured him and he came to the king and sat by his side as he used to sit before. The king said to him: Who restored your eyesight? He said: My Lord. Thereupon he said: It means that your Lord is One besides me. He said: My Lord and your Lord is Allah, so he (the king) took hold of him and tormented him till he gave a clue of that boy. The young man was thus summoned and the king said to him: O boy, it has been conveyed to me that you have become so much proficient in your magic that you cure the blind and those suffering from leprosy and you do such and such things. Thereupon he said: I do not cure anyone; it is Allah Who cures, and he (the king) took hold of him and began to torment him. So he gave a clue of the monk. The monk was thus summoned and it was said to him: You should turn back from your religion. He, however, refused to do so. He (ordered) for a saw to be brought (and when it was done) he (the king) placed it in the middle of his head and tore it into parts till a part fell down. Then the courtier of the king was brought and it was said to him: Turn back from your religion. Arid he refused to do so, and the saw was placed in the midst of his head and it was torn till a part fell down. Then that young boy was brought and it was said to him: Turn back from your religion. He refused to do so and he was handed over to a group of his courtiers. And he 'said to them: Take him to such and such mountain; make him climb up that mountain and when you reach its top (ask him to renounce his faith) but if he refuses to do so, then throw him (down the mountain). So they took him and made him climb up the mountain and he said: O Allah, save me from them (in any way) Thou likest and the mountain began to quake and they all fell down and that person came walking to the king. The king said to him: What has happened to your companions? He said: Allah has saved me from them. He again handed him to some of his courtiers and said: Take him and carry him in a small boat and when you reach the middle of the ocean (ask him to renounce) his religion, but if he does not renounce his religion throw him (into the water). So they took him and he said: O Allah, save me from them and what they want to do. It was quite soon that the boat turned over and they were drowned and he came walking to the king, and the king said to him: What has happened to your companions? He said: Allah has saved me from them, and he said to the king: You cannot kill me until you do what I ask you to do. And he said: What is that? He said: You should gather people in a plain and hang me by the trunk (of a tree). Then take hold of an arrow from the quiver and say: In the name of Allah, the Lord of the young boy; then shoot an arrow and if you do that then you would be able to kill me. So he (the king) called the people in an open plain and tied him (the boy) to the trunk of a tree, then he took hold of an arrow from his quiver and then placed the arrow in the bow and then said: In the name of Allah, the Lord of the young boy; he then shot an arrow and it bit his temple. He (the boy) placed his hands upon the temple where the arrow had bit him and he died and the people said: We affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man, we affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man, we affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man. The courtiers came to the king and it was said to him: Do you see that Allah has actually done what you aimed at averting. They (the people) have affirmed their faith in the Lord. He (the king) commanded ditches to be dug at important points in the path. When these ditches were dug, and the fire was lit in them it was said (to the people): He who would not turn back from his (boy's) religion would be thrown in the fire or it would be said to them to jump in that. (The people courted death but did not renounce religion) till a woman came with her child and she felt hesitant in jumping into the fire and the child said to her: 0 mother, endure (this ordeal) for it is the Truth. (Using translation from Muslim 3005)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «كَانَ مَلِكٌ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ لَهُ سَاحِرٌ فَلَمَّا كَبِرَ قَالَ لِلْمَلِكِ إِنِّي قَدْ كَبِرْتُ فَابْعَثْ إِلَيَّ غُلَامًا أُعَلِّمُهُ السِّحْرَ فَبَعَثَ لَهُ غُلَامًا يُعَلِّمُهُ فَكَانَ فِي طَرِيقِهِ إِذَا سَلَكَ رَاهِبٌ فَقَعَدَ إِلَيْهِ وَسَمِعَ كَلَامَهُ وَأَعْجَبَهُ فَكَانَ إِذَا أَتَى السَّاحِرَ ضَرَبَهُ وَإِذَا رَجَعَ مِنْ عِنْدِ السَّاحِرِ قَعَدَ إِلَى الرَّاهِبِ وَسَمِعَ كَلَامَهُ فَإِذَا أَتَى أَهْلَهُ ضَرَبُوهُ فَشَكَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى الرَّاهِبِ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِذَا خَشِيتَ السَّاحِرَ فَقُلْ حَبَسَنِي أَهْلِي وَإِذَا خَشِيتَ أَهْلَكَ فَقُلْ حَبَسَنِي السَّاحِرُ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَتَى عَلَى دَابَّةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ قَدْ حَبَسْتِ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ الْيَوْمَ أَعْلَمُ الرَّاهِبُ أَفْضَلُ أَمِ السَّاحِرُ؟ فَأَخَذَ حَجَرًا ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ أَمْرُ الرَّاهِبِ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ أَمْرِ السَّاحِرِ فَاقْتُلْ هَذِهِ الدَّابَّةَ حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ النَّاسُ فَرَمَاهَا فَقَتَلَهَا وَمَضَى النَّاسُ فَأَتَى الرَّاهِبَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّاهِبُ أَيْ بُنَيَّ أَنْتَ الْيَوْمَ أَفْضَلُ مِنِّي وَإِنَّكَ سَتُبْتَلَى فَإِنِ ابْتُلِيتَ فَلَا تَدُلَّ عَلَيَّ فَكَانَ الْغُلَامُ يُبْرِئُ الْأَكْمَهَ وَالْأَبْرَصَ وَيُدَاوِي سَائِرَ الْأَدْوَاءِ فَسَمِعَ جَلِيسٌ لِلْمَلِكِ كَانَ قَدْ عَمِيَ فَأَتَى الْغُلَامَ بِهَدَايَا كَثِيرَةٍ فَقَالَ مَا هَاهُنَا لَكَ أَجْمَعُ إِنْ أَنْتَ شَفَيْتَنِي قَالَ إِنِّي لَا أَشْفِي أَحَدًا إِنَّمَا يَشْفِي اللَّهُ إِنْ آمَنْتَ بِاللَّهِ دَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ فَشَفَاكَ فَآمَنَ بِاللَّهِ فَشَفَاهُ اللَّهُ فَأَتَى الْمَلِكَ يَمْشِي يَجْلِسُ إِلَيْهِ كَمَا كَانَ يَجْلِسُ فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ فُلَانُ ‍‍ مَنْ رَدَّ عَلَيْكَ بَصَرَكَ؟ قَالَ رَبِّي قَالَ وَلَكَ رَبٌّ غَيْرِي؟ قَالَ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكَ وَاحِدٌ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُعَذِّبْهُ حَتَّى دَلَّ عَلَى الْغُلَامِ فَجِيءَ بِالْغُلَامِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ أَيْ بُنَيَّ قَدْ بَلَغَ مِنْ سِحْرِكَ مَا تُبْرِئُ الْأَكْمَهَ وَالْأَبْرَصَ وَتَفْعَلُ وَتَفْعَلُ؟ قَالَ إِنِّي لَا أَشْفِي أَحَدًا إِنَّمَا يَشْفِي اللَّهُ فَأَخَذَهُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُعَذِّبْهُ حَتَّى دَلَّ عَلَى الرَّاهِبِ فَجِيءَ بِالرَّاهِبِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ ارْجِعْ عَنْ دِينِكَ فَأَبِي فَدَعَا بِالْمِنْشَارِ فَوَضَعَ الْمِنْشَارَ فِي مَفْرِقِ رَأْسِهِ فَشُقَّ بِهِ حَتَّى وَقَعَ شِقَّاهُ ثُمَّ جِيءَ بِجَلِيسِ الْمَلِكِ فَقِيلَ ارْجِعْ عَنْ دِينِكَ فَأَبِي فَوَضَعَ الْمِنْشَارَ فِي مَفْرِقِ رَأْسِهِ فَشَقَّهُ بِهِ حَتَّى وَقَعَ شِقَّاهُ ثُمَّ جِيءَ بِالْغُلَامِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ ارْجِعْ عَنْ دِينِكَ فَأَبِي فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ اذْهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى جَبَلِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَاصْعَدُوا بِهِ الْجَبَلَ فَإِذَا بَلَغْتُمْ ذُرْوَتَهُ فَإِنْ رَجَعَ عَنْ دِينِهِ وَإِلَّا فَاطْرَحُوهُ فَذَهَبُوا بِهِ فَصَعِدُوا بِهِ الْجَبَلَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِيهِمْ بِمَا شِئْتَ فَرَجَفَ بِهِمُ الْجَبَلُ فَسَقَطُوا وَجَاءَ يَمْشِي إِلَى الْمَلِكِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ مَا فَعَلَ أَصْحَابُكَ؟ قَالَ كَفَانِيهِمُ اللَّهُ فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى قَوْمٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ اذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَاحْمِلُوهُ فِي قُرْقُورٍ فَوَسِّطُوا بِهِ الْبَحْرَ فَلَجِّجُوا بِهِ فَإِنْ رَجَعَ عَنْ دِينِهِ وَإِلَّا فَاقْذِفُوهُ فَذَهَبُوا بِهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِيهِمْ بِمَا شِئْتَ فَانْكَفَأَتْ بِهِمُ السَّفِينَةُ وَجَاءَ يَمْشِي إِلَى الْمَلِكِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ مَا فَعَلَ أَصْحَابُكَ؟ قَالَ كَفَانِيهِمُ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ لِلْمَلِكِ وَإِنَّكَ لَسْتَ بِقَاتِلِي حَتَّى تَفْعَلَ مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ قَالَ وَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ تَجْمَعُ النَّاسَ فِي صَعِيدٍ وَاحِدٍ وَتَصْلُبُنِي عَلَى جِذْعٍ ثُمَّ خُذْ سَهْمًا مِنْ كِنَانَتِكَ ثُمَّ ضَعِ السَّهْمَ فِي كَبِدِ الْقَوْسِ ثُمَّ قُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْغُلَامِ ثُمَّ ارْمِنِي فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ قَتَلْتَنِي فَجَمَعَ النَّاسَ فِي صَعِيدٍ وَاحِدٍ ثُمَّ صَلَبَهُ عَلَى جِذْعٍ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ سَهْمًا مِنْ كِنَانَتِهِ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ السَّهْمَ فِي كَبِدِ قَوْسِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْغُلَامِ ثُمَّ رَمَاهُ فَوَقَعَ السَّهْمُ فِي صُدْغِهِ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي مَوْضِعِ السَّهْمِ فَمَاتَ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْغُلَامِ آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْغُلَامِ ثَلَاثًا فَأُتِيَ الْمَلِكُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَرَأَيْتَ مَا كُنْتَ تَحْذَرُ قَدْ وَاللَّهِ نَزَلَ بِكَ حَذَرُكَ قَدْ آمَنَ النَّاسُ فَأَمَرَ بِالْأُخْدُودِ بِأَفْوَاهِ السِّكَكِ فَخُدَّتْ وَأَضْرَمَ النِّيرَانَ وَقَالَ مَنْ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ عَنْ دِينِهِ فَأَحْمُوهُ فَفَعَلُوا حَتَّى جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ وَمَعَهَا صَبِيٌّ لَهَا فَتَقَاعَسَتْ أَنْ تَقَعَ فِيهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا الْغُلَامُ يَا أُمَّهِ اصْبِرِي فَإِنَّكِ عَلَى الْحَقِّ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Al Madinah for nine years without performing Hajj. Then he announced to the people that they could go out [for Hajj]. When he reached Dhul-Hulayfah, he performed the prayer of Dhul-Hulayfah as well. Asma bint 'Umays, the wife of Abu Bakr, gave birth to Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr. She sent a message to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he said, "Take a bath, wear your clothes, and come with your family." So she did as he instructed. When the chest of the Prophet ﷺ was relieved, he set on his journey and said, "We only know [about Hajj] for the purpose of performing Hajj. Let us go out for Hajj while the Quran is being revealed to me, and it is known to me how to interpret it. Indeed, he only does what he is commanded to do." Jabir said, "I looked ahead, behind, and to my right and left, and I saw that my sight could reach far. The people were on foot and riding, and the Prophet ﷺ performed the chant: Labbayka Allahumma labbayk, labbayka laa shareeka laka labbayk, inna al-hamd wa an-ni‘amata laka wal-mulk laa shareeka laka" (O Allah, here I am at Your service, here I am. There is no partner with You, here I am. Verily, all praise and favor is for You, and the dominion. There is no partner with You). When we arrived in Makkah, he performed the ritual of Ihram, then performed three Tawaf around the Ka'bah and performed Sa'i [between Safa and Marwah] four times. When he finished his Tawaf, he went to the Maqam and recited the verse: {And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Ibrahim a place of prayer}. He then prayed two Rak'ah behind the Maqam of Ibrahim. After that, he went to Al-Rukn and performed the Raml [walking briskly] between Safa and Marwah, and said, "We begin with what Allah has begun with," and he climbed on Safa until he could see the Ka'bah. Then he said, "Allahu Akbar" three times and said, "There is no deity except Allah, He has no partners. To Him belongs the kingdom, and all praise is for Him. He causes life and gives death. In His hand is all goodness, and He is over all things competent." He repeated this three times. Then he supplicated, and when he descended from Safa, he walked until he reached Marwah. He performed the same actions on Marwah and said the same statement as he did on Safa. He continued to do this seven times. And he said, "Whoever does not have an animal for sacrifice, let him enter into the state of Ihram, and whoever has an animal for sacrifice, let him perform the rites of his Ihram. If it were not for the fact that I brought a sacrificial animal with me, I would have performed 'Umrah." Ali came from Yemen, and the Prophet ﷺ asked him, "By what means did you perform the rites of Ihram, O Ali?" Ali replied, "O Messenger of Allah, I performed the rites of Ihram as you instructed." The Prophet ﷺ said, "If I did not have a sacrificial animal with me, I would also have performed 'Umrah." Ali added, "I entered upon Fatimah, and she had applied kohl and was wearing dyed clothes. I asked her, 'Who commanded you to do this?' She said, 'My father commanded me.' Then Ali went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ hurrying and determined, according to what she has told me. He asked the Prophet ﷺ , and the Prophet ﷺ said, "She told the truth." The Prophet ﷺ sacrificed one hundred camels with his own hands. Ali also sacrificed whatever was left. Then he took a piece from each camel and cooked them all together. They ate from the meat and drank from the broth. Suraqah bin Malik bin Ju'shum said, "Is this an annual tradition or forever?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "No, it is forever. 'Umrah is included in Hajj."

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 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)

[Machine] "People, O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He said, "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun on a clear summer day, when the sky is clear without any clouds?" They said, "No." He said, "In the same way, you will not have any difficulty in seeing your Lord on the Day of Resurrection, just as you have no difficulty in seeing one of them who meets his Lord on the Day of Resurrection. Then Allah, the Most Exalted and Glorious, will say, 'O servant! Did I not create you? Did I not make you able to hear and see? Did I not give you wealth and marry you? Did I not honor you? Did I not give you dominion over horses and camels? Did I not make you the leader and ruler?' The servant will respond, 'Yes, my Lord.' Then Allah will say, 'Then did you not think that you would meet Me?' The servant will say, 'Yes, my Lord. But I thought that you would not recognize me.' Allah will say, 'Today I will forget you just as you forgot Me.' Then the next person will come and Allah will say the same to him. The hypocrite will seek to excuse himself, but he will be seized and sealed. It will be said to his thigh, 'Speak!' and it will speak about his deeds and his bones and nerves will bear witness to what he used to do. Then a caller will call out, 'Will every nation follow what they used to worship?' And the worshipers of the cross will follow the cross, the worshipers of the fire will follow the fire, and the worshipers of idols will follow the idols, and every tyrant will follow their tyranny, until they are all led to Hell. Then the believers, while we are the believers, will come to our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, and we will be standing. He will say, 'What are these people standing for?' We will say, 'We are the believing servants of Allah. We believed in Him and did not associate anything with Him. This is our place and we will not move from here until our Lord comes to us as our Lord and keeps us firm.' He will say, 'Do you know Him?' We will say, 'Glory be to Him! When He acknowledges us, we will acknowledge Him.' Sufyan (one of the narrators) said, 'Here is a word that I do not say to you.' He (Abu Bakr, who was beside the Prophet ﷺ ) said, 'That (person) is a slave whom no one protects. He knocks at a door, but it is not opened for him, and he enters from the other door.' The Prophet ﷺ wiped his shoulders and said, 'I hope that you will be among them (i.e., the believers).' "

[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] When Harura left and they were in a house by themselves, I said to Ali, "O Commander of the Faithful, cool down from prayer; perhaps I will come to these people and speak to them." He said, "I fear for you from them." I said, "No, if Allah wills." So I put on the best that I could from this Yemeni garment and then I entered upon them while they were saying in the middle of the day. So I entered upon a group of people that I had never seen a group more diligent than them. Their hands were like camel humps and their faces were marked with the signs of prostration. I entered and they said, "Welcome, O Ibn Abbas, what brings you?" I said, "I came to tell you about the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who received revelation and were the most knowledgeable of its interpretation." Some of them said, "Do not talk to him," while others said, "We will speak to him." I said, "Tell me, why do you seek revenge on the cousin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who circumcised and was the first to believe, and on the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who were with him?" They said, "We seek revenge on him for three reasons." I said, "What are they?" They said, "The first reason is that he judged in matters of religion, while Allah says, 'Indeed, judgement is only for Allah." I said, "What else?" They said, "He fought without insulting or seizing booty. If they were disbelievers, his wealth would be lawful to them, and if they were believers, their blood would be forbidden to him." I said, "What else?" They said, "He killed himself due to the Commander of the Faithful. If he is not the Commander of the Faithful, then he is the Commander of the Disbelievers." I said, "Let me tell you, if I recite to you from the Book of Allah what is clear and explain to you from the Sunnah of your Prophet ﷺ what you cannot deny, will you reconsider?" They said, "Yes." I said, "As for your saying that he judged in matters of religion, Allah says, 'O you who have believed, do not kill game while you are in the state of ihram.' [5:95] until "Judgement is only for Allah," [7:87] He also said regarding the man and his wife, 'And if you fear dissension between the two, send an arbitrator from his people and an arbitrator from her people.' [4:35] I ask you, by Allah, is the judgement of men in regards to preserving their blood and selves and reconciling between themselves more deserving, or the price of a hare worth a quarter of a dirham?" They said, "O Allah, in regards to preserving their blood and reconciling between themselves." I said, "Did you hear this?" They said, "Yes." I said, "As for your saying that he fought without insulting or seizing booty, do you accuse your mothers or do you consider permissible from them what you consider permissible from others? For indeed, you have disbelieved. And if you claim that she is not your mother, then you have disbelieved and have left the fold of Islam. Indeed, Allah says, 'The Prophet is more worthy of the believers than themselves and his wives are their mothers.' So you are wavering between the two misguidances, so choose whichever one you wish." They said, "O Allah, yes." I said, "And as for your saying that he killed himself due to the Commander of the Faithful, on the day of Hudaybiyah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ summoned the Quraysh to write a document between him and them. So he said, ‘Write this is what Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, has agreed upon.’ They said, ‘By Allah, if we knew that you were the Messenger of Allah, we would not have prevented you from entering the Ka'bah or fought against you. But write, Muhammad ibn Abdullah.’ He said, ‘By Allah, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah, and even if you deny me, write O Ali, Muhammad ibn Abdullah.’ So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was better than Ali." I said, "Did you hear this?" They said, "O Allah, yes." So twenty thousand of them left and four thousand of them remained, and they were killed.

[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)'.

[Machine] "And the Messenger ﷺ settled with the tribe of Qurayzah until they asked him to appoint a judge between him and them. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Choose from my Companions whom you want, and we will listen to his words.' So they chose Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was pleased with their choice. He commanded them to bring their weapons, and they were placed in a house. He ordered them to shave their heads and to tie themselves up, so they were placed in the home of Usamah ibn Zayd. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for Sa'd ibn Mu'adh and he arrived riding on a donkey with an Arab man who claimed that his donkey's hooves were wounded from the roughness of the ground. Sa'd walked beside him, extolling the rights of the tribe of Qurayzah, reminding them of their oath, and how they were put to test on the Day of Bi'thah (Pledge of Allegiance). They chose you above others in hopes of your mercy and compassion towards them. So hasten to them, for they are assets to you and they are numerous.' This man repeated this many times, and Sa'd did not respond to him until they came closer. The man asked him, 'Will you not turn back and do something to me?' Sa'd replied, 'By Allah, I do not care for the blame of anyone for the sake of Allah.' So the man left and went back to his people in despair, informing them of what Sa'd told him. They thought that Sa'd had refused to speak to them, so they sent him with a message to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'O Sa'd, judge between us and them.' Sa'd said, 'I judge that their fighters should be killed, their women and children taken as captives, and their wealth seized.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Sa'd has given judgement with the judgement of Allah.' Some people claim that they were not content with the judgement of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent back the jurisdiction of the matter to Sa'd ibn Mu'adh. They sent messengers to Sa'd one after the other and their heads were struck off. The last one to be killed was Huwayy ibn Akhtab. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'May Allah disgrace you!' Huwayy replied, 'You have come to know me well, and I do not blame myself regarding you.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered for him to be taken out to the oil market and his head was struck off. All of this was done by the command of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, and it is claimed that Sa'd was acquitted from any guilt. He took refuge behind Allah's oath of innocence. Then he supplicated to Allah saying, 'O Allah, Lord of the skies and the earth, there is no people on the face of the earth whom I hate more than those who lied against Your Messenger and expelled him. I think that You have put an end to the fighting between us and them. If there is any fighting left between us, then let me fight them in You. And if You have put an end to the fighting between us and them, then cause this spot to be destroyed and let me die here.' So Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, caused the spot to be destroyed, and he died right there. The statement of Allah (in the Quran) was fulfilled, and Allah's mercy be upon him."

There lived a king before you and he had a (court) magician. As he (the magician) grew old, he said to the king: I have grown old, send some young boy to me so that I should teach him magic. He (the king) sent to him a young man so that he should train him (in magic). And on his way (to the magician) he (the young man) found a monk sitting there. He (the young man) listened to his (the monk's) talk and was impressed by it. It became his habit that on his way to the magician he met the monk and set there and he came to the magician (late). He (the magician) beat him because of delay. He made a complaint of that to the monk and he said to him: When you feel afraid of the magician, say: Members of my family had detained me. And when you feel afraid of your family you should say: The magician had detained me. It so happened that there came a huge beast (of prey) and it blocked the way of the people, and he (the young boy) said: I will come to know today whether the magician is superior or the monk is superior. He picked up a stone and said: O Allah, if the affair of the monk is dearer to Thee than the affair of the magician, cause death to this animal so that the people should be able to move about freely. He threw that stone towards it and killed it and the people began to move about (on the path freely). He (the young man) then came to that monk and Informed him and the monk said: Sonny, today you are superior to me. Your affair has come to a stage where I find that you would be soon put to a trial, and in case you are put to a trial don't give my clue. That young man began to treat the blind and those suffering from leprosy and he in fact began to cure people from (all kinds) of illness. When a companion of the king who had gone blind heard about him, he came to him with numerous gifts and said: If you cure me all these things collected together here would be yours. Be said: I myself do not cure anyone. It is Allah Who cures and if you affirm faith in Allah, I shall also supplicate Allah to cure you. He affirmed his faith in Allah and Allah cured him and he came to the king and sat by his side as he used to sit before. The king said to him: Who restored your eyesight? He said: My Lord. Thereupon he said: It means that your Lord is One besides me. He said: My Lord and your Lord is Allah, so he (the king) took hold of him and tormented him till he gave a clue of that boy. The young man was thus summoned and the king said to him: O boy, it has been conveyed to me that you have become so much proficient in your magic that you cure the blind and those suffering from leprosy and you do such and such things. Thereupon he said: I do not cure anyone; it is Allah Who cures, and he (the king) took hold of him and began to torment him. So he gave a clue of the monk. The monk was thus summoned and it was said to him: You should turn back from your religion. He, however, refused to do so. He (ordered) for a saw to be brought (and when it was done) he (the king) placed it in the middle of his head and tore it into parts till a part fell down. Then the courtier of the king was brought and it was said to him: Turn back from your religion. Arid he refused to do so, and the saw was placed in the midst of his head and it was torn till a part fell down. Then that young boy was brought and it was said to him: Turn back from your religion. He refused to do so and he was handed over to a group of his courtiers. And he 'said to them: Take him to such and such mountain; make him climb up that mountain and when you reach its top (ask him to renounce his faith) but if he refuses to do so, then throw him (down the mountain). So they took him and made him climb up the mountain and he said: O Allah, save me from them (in any way) Thou likest and the mountain began to quake and they all fell down and that person came walking to the king. The king said to him: What has happened to your companions? He said: Allah has saved me from them. He again handed him to some of his courtiers and said: Take him and carry him in a small boat and when you reach the middle of the ocean (ask him to renounce) his religion, but if he does not renounce his religion throw him (into the water). So they took him and he said: O Allah, save me from them and what they want to do. It was quite soon that the boat turned over and they were drowned and he came walking to the king, and the king said to him: What has happened to your companions? He said: Allah has saved me from them, and he said to the king: You cannot kill me until you do what I ask you to do. And he said: What is that? He said: You should gather people in a plain and hang me by the trunk (of a tree). Then take hold of an arrow from the quiver and say: In the name of Allah, the Lord of the young boy; then shoot an arrow and if you do that then you would be able to kill me. So he (the king) called the people in an open plain and tied him (the boy) to the trunk of a tree, then he took hold of an arrow from his quiver and then placed the arrow in the bow and then said: In the name of Allah, the Lord of the young boy; he then shot an arrow and it bit his temple. He (the boy) placed his hands upon the temple where the arrow had bit him and he died and the people said: We affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man, we affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man, we affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man. The courtiers came to the king and it was said to him: Do you see that Allah has actually done what you aimed at averting. They (the people) have affirmed their faith in the Lord. He (the king) commanded ditches to be dug at important points in the path. When these ditches were dug, and the fire was lit in them it was said (to the people): He who would not turn back from his (boy's) religion would be thrown in the fire or it would be said to them to jump in that. (The people courted death but did not renounce religion) till a woman came with her child and she felt hesitant in jumping into the fire and the child said to her: 0 mother, endure (this ordeal) for it is the Truth. (Using translation from Muslim 3005)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ كَانَ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ مَلِكٌ لَهُ سَاحِرٌ فَلَمَّا كَبِرَ السَّاحِرُ قَالَ لِلْمَلِكِ إِنِّي قَدْ كَبِرْتُ فَادْفَعْ إِلَيَّ غُلَامًا أُعَلِّمْهُ السِّحْرَ فَدَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ غُلَامًا وَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُهُ السِّحْرَ وَكَانَ بَيْنَ الْمَلِكِ وَبَيْنَ السَّاحِرِ رَاهِبٌ فَسَمِعَ الْغُلَامُ مِنْ كَلَامِهِ فَأَعْجَبَهُ نَحْوَهُ وَكَلَامَهُ فَكَانَ إِذَا أَتَى السَّاحِرَ جَلَسَ عِنْدَ الرَّاهِبِ فَإِذَا أَتَى السَّاحِرَ ضَرَبَهُ يَقُولُ مَا حَبَسَكَ؟ وَإِذَا رَجَعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ قَعَدَ عِنْدَ الرَّاهِبِ فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ يَقُولُونَ مَا يَحْبِسُكَ؟ فَيَضْرِبُونَهُ فَشَكَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى الرَّاهِبِ وَقَالَ إِذَا أَرَادَ السَّاحِرُ أَنْ يَضْرِبَكَ فَقُلْ حَبَسَنِي أَهْلِي وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَهْلُكَ أَنْ يَضْرِبُوكَ فَقُلْ حَبَسَنِي السَّاحِرُ قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ فَأَتَى يَوْمًا عَلَى دَابَّةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ قَدْ حَبَسَتِ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَجُوزُوهَا فَقَالَ الْيَوْمَ أَعْلَمُ أَمْرُ السَّاحِرِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ أَوْ أَمْرُ الرَّاهِبِ فَأَخَذَ حَجَرًا فَقَالَ بِسْمِ اللهِ اللهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ أَمْرُ الرَّاهِبِ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكَ وَأَفْضَلَ فَاقْتُلْ هَذِهِ الدَّابَّةَ فَرَمَاهَا فَقَتَلَهَا وَذَهَبَ النَّاسُ فَبَلَغَ الرَّاهِبَ فَقَالَ أَيْ بُنَيَّ أَنْتَ أَفْضَلُ مِنِّي وَإِنَّكَ سَتُبْتَلَى فَإِنِ ابْتُلِيتَ فَلَا تَدُلَّ عَلَيَّ وَكَانَ الْغُلَامُ يُبْرِئُ الْأَكْمَهَ وَالْأَبْرَصَ وَهَذِهِ الْأَدْوَاءَ وَكَانَ لِلْمَلِكِ جَلِيسٌ فَعَمِيَ فَسَمِعَ بِهِ فَأَتَاهُ بِهَدَايَا كَثِيرَةٍ فَقَالَ اشْفِنِي وَلَكَ مَا هَهُنَا فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَا أَشْفِي أَحَدًا إِنَّمَا يَشْفِي اللهُ ﷻ فَإِنْ آمَنْتَ بِاللهِ شَفَاكَ فَآمَنَ بِهِ فَدَعَا اللهَ ﷻ فَبَرَأَ فَأَخَذَ الْأَعْمَى فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُعَذِّبُهُ حَتَّى دَلَّهُ عَلَى الْغُلَامِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ أَلَكَ رَبٌّ غَيْرِي؟ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكَ اللهُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بِهِ حَتَّى دَلَّهُ عَلَى الرَّاهِبِ فَأَخَذَهُ بِالْعَذَابِ فَقَالَ ارْجِعْ عَنْ دِينِكَ فَأَبَى فَأَمَرَ بِالْمِنْشَارِ فَوُضِعَ عَلَى مَفْرِقِ رَأْسِهِ فَشَقُّوهُ وَقَالَ لِلْأَعْمَى ارْجِعْ عَنْ دِينِكَ فَأَبَى فَوَضَعَ الْمِنْشَارَ فِي مَفْرِقِ رَأْسِهِ حَتَّى وَقَعَ شِقَّاهُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَقِيلَ لِلْغُلَامِ ارْجِعْ عَنْ دِينِكَ فَأَبَى فَبَعَثَ بِهِ فِي نَفَرٍ إِلَى جَبَلٍ فَقَالَ اصْعَدُوا بِهِ جَبَلَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِذَا بَلَغَ ذُرْوَتَهُ فَإِنْ رَجَعَ عَنْ دِينِهِ وَإِلَّا فَدَهْدِهُوهُ قَالَ فَذَهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ ذُرْوَتَهُ قَالَ اللهُمَّ اكْفِنِيهِمْ بِمَا شِئْتَ فَزَحَقَ بِهِمُ الْجَبَلُ فَذَهَبُوا أَجْمَعُونَ وَجَاءَ الْغُلَامُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَ أَصْحَابُكَ؟ قَالَ؟ كَفَانِيهِمُ اللهُ ﷻ فَبَعَثَ بِهِمْ فِي نَفَرٍ فِي قُرْقُورَةٍ فَقَالَ اذْهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ فَإِذَا تَوَسَّطْتُمْ بِهِ الْبَحْرَ فَإِنْ رَجَعَ وَإِلَّا فَغَرِّقُوهُ فَذَهَبُوا بِهِ فَلَمَّا لَجَجُوا بِهِ قَالَ اللهُمَّ اكْفِنِيهِمْ بِمَا شِئْتَ فَغَرِقُوا أَجْمَعُونَ وَجَاءَ الْغُلَامُ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَ أَصْحَابُكَ؟ فَقَالَ كَفَانِيهِمُ اللهُ ﷻ فَقَالَ لِلْمَلِكِ إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ بِقَاتِلِي حَتَّى تَفْعَلَ مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ فَإِنْ أَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ قَتَلْتَنِي قَالَ وَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ تَجْمَعُ النَّاسَ فِي صَعِيدٍ وَاحِدٍ ثُمَّ تَأْخُذُ سَهْمًا مِنْ كِنَانَتِكَ فَتَقُولُ بِسْمِ اللهِ رَبِّ الْغُلَامِ ثُمَّ تَرْمِينِيهِ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ سَتَقْتُلُنِي فَفَعَلَ فَوَضَعَ السَّهْمَ فَقَالَ بِسْمِ اللهِ رَبِّ الْغُلَامِ فَوَقَعَ السَّهْمُ فِي صُدْغِهِ فَوَضَعَ الْغُلَامُ يَدَهُ فِي مَوْضِعِ السَّهْمِ فَمَاتَ الْغُلَامُ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْغُلَامِ ثَلَاثًا فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَرَأَيْتَ مَا كُنْتَ تَحْذَرُ فَقَدْ وَاللهِ نَزَلَ بِكَ قَدْ آمَنَ النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ فَأَمَرَ بِأَفْوَاهِ السِّكَكِ فَخُدَّتْ فِيهَا الْأُخْدُودُ فَقَالَ مَنْ رَجَعَ عَنْ دِينِهِ وَإِلَّا فَأَقْحِمُوهُ فِيهَا  

[Machine] A group of Jews came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ one day and said, "O Abu Al-Qasim, tell us about some things that only a Prophet knows." He replied, "Ask me about whatever you want, but guarantee me the protection of Allah. And know that whatever Jacob took from his sons, if I tell you about it and you recognize it, you must follow me." They agreed, and asked him four questions: Which food did the Israelites forbid upon themselves before the Torah was revealed? How does the water of a woman differ from the water of a man? How can a child resemble their mother or father? How can this unlettered Prophet be among his people? And who is his guardian angel? The Prophet replied, "I have Allah's covenant with you. If I tell you, give me whatever guarantee and condition I wish." They agreed, and he said, "I swear by the one who revealed the Torah to Moses, do you know that Israel once fell seriously ill and his condition worsened? He made a vow that if Allah cured him of his illness, he would forever prohibit his most beloved drink and food. His most beloved food was the meat of camels and his most beloved drink was their milk." They said, "O Allah, yes." He said, "O Allah, bear witness." And he continued, "I swear by the one who revealed the Torah to Moses, do you know that the water of a man is thick and the water of a woman is thin and yellow? Whichever prevails determines the sex of the child, with the permission of Allah. If the water of a man prevails, the child will be male with the permission of Allah. And if the water of a woman prevails, the child will be female with the permission of Allah." They said, "O Allah, yes." He said, "O Allah, bear witness." And he said, "I swear by the one who revealed the Torah to Moses, do you know that this unlettered Prophet's eyes sleep while his heart does not?" They said, "O Allah, yes." He said, "O Allah, bear witness." Then they said, "Now tell us who is your guardian angel among the angels, for based on your answer, we will either follow you or abandon you." He replied, "My guardian angel is Gabriel, ﷺ . There has never been a Prophet sent by Allah without Gabriel as his guardian angel." They said, "If your guardian angel is someone other than Gabriel, we will abandon you and call you a liar." He said, "What prevents you from believing in him?" They said, "He is our enemy." At that moment, Allah revealed, "Whosoever is an enemy to Gabriel, then indeed he has brought it (this Quran) down upon your heart by Allah's permission, confirming what came before it as a guidance and glad tidings for the believers. Whoever is an enemy to Allah..." until "...they are blind." At that, they became filled with rage.

[Machine] I passed by an old woman wearing a torn cloak in the region of Bani Tamim. She asked, "Where are you headed?" We replied, "We are looking for the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ." She said, "Take me with you, for I have a need for him." I entered the mosque, which was crowded with people, and I saw a black flag waving and Bilal holding a sword standing in front of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . So I sat in the mosque, and when the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , entered, he granted me permission to approach. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, did anything happen between you and the people of Tameem?" I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah. We had an incident with them. I saw an old woman among them wearing a torn cloak, and she said that she has a need for the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . So I carried her, and here she is at the door." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , gave her permission to enter, and when she sat down, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you see fit, please reconcile between us and the people of Tameem because they were hostile towards us. I carried this old woman, and I feel like she is a bad omen for me. I seek refuge with Allah and the Messenger of Allah from becoming like the people of Aad." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , asked, "Who are the people of Aad?" I said, "According to the "knowledgeable ones," I have fallen into a mistake." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "He is unable to comprehend what I am saying." Then Afeefan said, "I seek refuge with Allah from becoming like the first one." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , asked, "What did the first one say?" He said, "According to the "knowledgeable ones," I have fallen into a mistake." He said, "Owee, he is able to understand it." Then the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Indeed, the people of Aad suffered from famine, so they sent their envoy with a message. It is said that he stayed with Muawiyah ibn Bakr for a month, where he was given alcohol to drink and locusts to eat." He said, "Peace be upon you," meaning the two dishes. Then he continued until he reached the mountains of Mahrah and said, "O Allah, You know that I did not come to capture a prisoner or to cure a sick person, so give water to Your servant what You give him to drink, and give along with him Muawiyah ibn Bakr, who will be grateful to You for the alcohol he drank with him." He said, "Then black clouds passed by and from it a voice was heard saying, 'Choose the cloud.' It was said, 'This is a black cloud.' It was said, 'Take it as ashes and scatter it in the land of Aad, so that no one from among them remains.'" He said, "I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have heard that only a portion of the wind is sent upon them, as much as the sign seen in the ring.' Abu Wa'il said, 'That is exactly what we have heard.'"

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.

There lived a king before you and he had a (court) magician. As he (the magician) grew old, he said to the king: I have grown old, send some young boy to me so that I should teach him magic. He (the king) sent to him a young man so that he should train him (in magic). And on his way (to the magician) he (the young man) found a monk sitting there. He (the young man) listened to his (the monk's) talk and was impressed by it. It became his habit that on his way to the magician he met the monk and set there and he came to the magician (late). He (the magician) beat him because of delay. He made a complaint of that to the monk and he said to him: When you feel afraid of the magician, say: Members of my family had detained me. And when you feel afraid of your family you should say: The magician had detained me. It so happened that there came a huge beast (of prey) and it blocked the way of the people, and he (the young boy) said: I will come to know today whether the magician is superior or the monk is superior. He picked up a stone and said: O Allah, if the affair of the monk is dearer to Thee than the affair of the magician, cause death to this animal so that the people should be able to move about freely. He threw that stone towards it and killed it and the people began to move about (on the path freely). He (the young man) then came to that monk and Informed him and the monk said: Sonny, today you are superior to me. Your affair has come to a stage where I find that you would be soon put to a trial, and in case you are put to a trial don't give my clue. That young man began to treat the blind and those suffering from leprosy and he in fact began to cure people from (all kinds) of illness. When a companion of the king who had gone blind heard about him, he came to him with numerous gifts and said: If you cure me all these things collected together here would be yours. Be said: I myself do not cure anyone. It is Allah Who cures and if you affirm faith in Allah, I shall also supplicate Allah to cure you. He affirmed his faith in Allah and Allah cured him and he came to the king and sat by his side as he used to sit before. The king said to him: Who restored your eyesight? He said: My Lord. Thereupon he said: It means that your Lord is One besides me. He said: My Lord and your Lord is Allah, so he (the king) took hold of him and tormented him till he gave a clue of that boy. The young man was thus summoned and the king said to him: O boy, it has been conveyed to me that you have become so much proficient in your magic that you cure the blind and those suffering from leprosy and you do such and such things. Thereupon he said: I do not cure anyone; it is Allah Who cures, and he (the king) took hold of him and began to torment him. So he gave a clue of the monk. The monk was thus summoned and it was said to him: You should turn back from your religion. He, however, refused to do so. He (ordered) for a saw to be brought (and when it was done) he (the king) placed it in the middle of his head and tore it into parts till a part fell down. Then the courtier of the king was brought and it was said to him: Turn back from your religion. Arid he refused to do so, and the saw was placed in the midst of his head and it was torn till a part fell down. Then that young boy was brought and it was said to him: Turn back from your religion. He refused to do so and he was handed over to a group of his courtiers. And he 'said to them: Take him to such and such mountain; make him climb up that mountain and when you reach its top (ask him to renounce his faith) but if he refuses to do so, then throw him (down the mountain). So they took him and made him climb up the mountain and he said: O Allah, save me from them (in any way) Thou likest and the mountain began to quake and they all fell down and that person came walking to the king. The king said to him: What has happened to your companions? He said: Allah has saved me from them. He again handed him to some of his courtiers and said: Take him and carry him in a small boat and when you reach the middle of the ocean (ask him to renounce) his religion, but if he does not renounce his religion throw him (into the water). So they took him and he said: O Allah, save me from them and what they want to do. It was quite soon that the boat turned over and they were drowned and he came walking to the king, and the king said to him: What has happened to your companions? He said: Allah has saved me from them, and he said to the king: You cannot kill me until you do what I ask you to do. And he said: What is that? He said: You should gather people in a plain and hang me by the trunk (of a tree). Then take hold of an arrow from the quiver and say: In the name of Allah, the Lord of the young boy; then shoot an arrow and if you do that then you would be able to kill me. So he (the king) called the people in an open plain and tied him (the boy) to the trunk of a tree, then he took hold of an arrow from his quiver and then placed the arrow in the bow and then said: In the name of Allah, the Lord of the young boy; he then shot an arrow and it bit his temple. He (the boy) placed his hands upon the temple where the arrow had bit him and he died and the people said: We affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man, we affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man, we affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man. The courtiers came to the king and it was said to him: Do you see that Allah has actually done what you aimed at averting. They (the people) have affirmed their faith in the Lord. He (the king) commanded ditches to be dug at important points in the path. When these ditches were dug, and the fire was lit in them it was said (to the people): He who would not turn back from his (boy's) religion would be thrown in the fire or it would be said to them to jump in that. (The people courted death but did not renounce religion) till a woman came with her child and she felt hesitant in jumping into the fire and the child said to her: 0 mother, endure (this ordeal) for it is the Truth.

[Machine] Anas's wife, Umm Sulaim, who was Anas's mother, said, "I saw this man, meaning the Prophet ﷺ, forbidding alcohol, so I left until I reached Sham and ruined myself there. Then Abu Talha proposed to Umm Sulaim and spoke to her about it, and she said, 'O Abu Talha, there is no one like you, but you are a disbeliever and I am a Muslim woman. It is not suitable for me to marry you.' He asked, 'Why is that?' She replied, 'Because I don't want yellow or white, I want Islam from you.' He asked, 'Who can provide that for me?' She said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ can.' So Abu Talha left, intending to meet the Prophet ﷺ while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting among his companions. When he saw him, Abu Talha said, 'Abu Talha, a new convert to Islam, has come to you.' So he came and informed the Prophet ﷺ about what Umm Sulaim had said. The Prophet ﷺ married her based on that. Thabit said, 'We have not heard that a dowry greater than the Islam itself was requested. so he married her. She was a woman of beautiful eyes and had some minor issues. She stayed with him until she gave birth to a son, whom Abu Talha loved ardently. When the baby became ill, Abu Talha humbled himself or it hurt him, so Abu Talha went to the Prophet ﷺ. The baby died, and Umm Sulaim said, 'No one should inform Abu Talha of his son's death except me.' She prepared the child and placed him to one side. Then Abu Talha went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until he entered upon him and said, 'How is my son?' She said, 'O Abu Talha, from the time my son complained of pain, no one can be better than him. He immediately came [to you].' Then she handed him his son. Birth had occurred during the night, close to Madinah. She said, 'O Allah, I used to bring my child whenever your Prophet entered or left. This situation has occurred, so she brought her child and handed him to the Prophet ﷺ while he was riding a dromedary or a sheep. When he saw the child, he said to Anas, 'Did the daughter of Milhan give birth?' Anas said, 'Yes.' Then the Prophet ﷺ held what was in his hand and blessed it with prayers and supplications. Then the Prophet ﷺ fed the child some dates and named him Abdullah. Thabit said, 'Abdullah was known to be one of the best Muslims.'

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.

[Machine] It is reported that the Ansar went against us and gathered with their families in the Saqifah of Bani Sa'ida. Ali and Zubair also went against us and those who were with them. The Muhajireen gathered with Abu Bakr. So I said to Abu Bakr, "O Abu Bakr, come with us to our brothers from the Ansar." So we departed with the intention of meeting them. When we approached them, we met two righteous men from among them. They mentioned what the people had been saying about them. We told them that we wanted our brothers from the Ansar. They said to us, "It is not upon you to come near them. Deal with your own affairs." So I said, "By Allah, we will approach them." So we went until we reached them in the Saqifah of Bani Sa'ida. There, we saw a man wrapped in a garment between them. I asked, "Who is this?" They said, "This is Sa'ad bin Ubadah." I asked, "What is wrong with him?" They said, "He is sick." When we sat for a while, their speaker praised Allah and then mentioned their status. He said, "We are the Ansar of Allah and the battalion of Islam, and you are the Muhajireen. We are a group from us and there is a remnant from your people who have opposed us, trying to diminish our status and take the authority from us." Then when he remained silent, I intended to speak and I had prepared a speech that I found impressive, which I wanted to present to Abu Bakr. I even faked my speech in front of him, but I avoided mentioning the matter. Then Abu Bakr said, "Speak upon your mission." I hated that he said that and I feared becoming angry and that he would speak before me. Abu Bakr was more patient and respectful. By Allah, he did not leave any word that I found impressive in my false speech except that he said something similar or better than it. Until he remained silent. I said, "You have mentioned nothing but good, and you are deserving of it. We would not have known of this matter if it were not for this noble person from the Quraysh, who are the middle of the Arabs in lineage, wealth, and status. I am pleased with one of these two men, so pledge to either of them as you wish." I extended my hand, and Abu Bakr extended his hand, as did Abu Ubaydah bin Jarrah, who was sitting between us. I would not have disliked anything he said except that it was not in favor of me, apart from this, by Allah, even if he had slapped my neck, I would not have been closer to committing a sin than I am now. I prefer it to commanding a people in whom Abu Bakr is not their leader, O Allah, unless you make my soul understand at the time of my death something that I do not understand now." Then a speaker among the Ansar said, "I am their representative, Al-Muhakkak, and their spokesperson, Al-Murajjab. From us is an Amir and from you is an Amir, O people of Quraish." The noise increased and the voices raised until I feared disagreement. So I said, "Extend your hand, O Abu Bakr." So Abu Bakr extended his hand and I pledged allegiance to him.

[Machine] Regarding wealth, he saw a sight he had never seen before. He saw gold, rubies, emeralds, and pearls shining brightly. So he cried. One of them said to him, "By Allah, this is not a day of crying, but a day of gratitude and joy." He said, "By Allah, I did not go where I went, but I have never seen such abundance among any people without calamity befalling them." Then he turned towards the qibla, raised his hands to the sky, and said, "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from being ensnared, for I hear You saying, 'We will ensnare them from where they do not know.'" Then he said, "Where is Suraqah bin Ju'shum?" So he was brought to him with his two fine hands. He gave him the bracelets of Kisra and said, "Put them on." So he did. Then he said, "Say, Allahu Akbar." He said, "Allahu Akbar." He said, "Say, Alhamdulillah, who has taken them from Kisra bin Hurmuz and has given them to Suraqah bin Ju'shum, an Arab from the tribe of Mudlij." And he began to turn over what was between them, saying, "Indeed, the one who brought me this is trustworthy." A man said to him, "I inform you that you are Allah's trustee, while they give you what they gave to Allah. So when you become relaxed, they will also become relaxed." He said, "You have spoken the truth." Then he dismissed him. Ash-Shafi'i said, "Suraqah only gave them the bracelets because the Prophet ﷺ said to Suraqah, looking at his two arms, 'It is as if I can see you wearing the two bracelets of Kisra.'" Ash-Shafi'i said, "Al-Thiqah from the people of Madinah informed us that Umar bin Al-Khattab spent on the people of Ramadah until rain fell and they dispersed. Umar came out to them riding a horse and saw them dispersing with their belongings. Tears welled up in his eyes. A man from Banu Muharib bin Khasfah said, 'I bear witness that they have left you and you are not the son of a slave woman.' Umar said to him, 'Woe to you! If I had spent on them from my own wealth or from the wealth of Al-Khattab, then indeed I have only spent on them from the wealth of Allah.'"

[Machine] That the Jewish scholars gathered in the house of the school when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in the city, and one of them committed adultery with a woman from the Jews who had been chaste. They said, "Take this man and this woman to Muhammad and ask him how to judge them." So, they brought him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Muhammad, this man has committed adultery with a woman whom you have declared chaste, so judge between them, as we have entrusted the judgment to you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went until he reached their Jewish scholars in the house of the school, and he said, "O Jewish people, bring forth your most knowledgeable person to me." They brought Abdullah ibn Suriyah al-Awar and some of the Banu Quraizah claimed that they also brought Abu Yasir ibn Akhtab and Wahb ibn Yahuda. They said, "These are our scholars." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them when he found out about their deceptive intentions, "O Ibn Suriyah, I ask you by Allah and remind you of the days of Bani Israel, do you know that Allah has prescribed stoning as a punishment for those who commit adultery after being chaste according to the Torah?" Ibn Suriyah replied, "Yes, by Allah, O Aba Al-Qasim, they know that you are a sent prophet, but they envy you." So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that they be stoned to death at the gate of his mosque in the house of Banu Ghannam bin Malik. After that, Ibn Suriyah apostatized. Then Allah revealed the verse, "O Messenger, let not those who hurry to disbelief grieve you - of those who say, 'We believe' with their mouths, but their hearts believe not, and from among the Jews. [They are] avid listeners to falsehood, listening to another people who have not come to you. They distort words beyond their [proper] usages, saying, 'If you are given this, take it; but if you are not given it, then beware.' And he for whom Allah intends fitnah - never will you possess [power to do] for him a thing against Allah. Those are the ones for whom Allah does not intend to purify their hearts. For them in this world is disgrace, and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment." (Quran 5:41)

While Messenger of Allah ﷺ was prostrating (as stated below). Narrated ʿAbdullah bin Masʿud: Once the Prophet ﷺ was offering prayers at the Kaʿba. Abu Jahl was sitting with some of his companions. One of them said to the others, "Who amongst you will bring the Abdominal contents (intestines, etc.) of a camel of Bani so and so and put it on the back of Muhammad, when he prostrates?" The most unfortunate of them got up and brought it. He waited till the Prophet ﷺ prostrated and then placed it on his back between his shoulders. I was watching but could not do any thing. I wish I had some people with me to hold out against them. They started laughing and falling on one another. Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in prostration and he did not lift his head up till Fatima (Prophet's daughter) came and threw that (camel's Abdominal contents) away from his back. He raised his head and said thrice, "O Allah! Punish Quraish." So it was hard for Abu Jahl and his companions when the Prophet invoked Allah against them as they had a conviction that the prayers and invocations were accepted in this city (Mecca). The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Allah! Punish Abu Jahl, ʿUtba bin Rabiʿa, Shaiba bin Rabiʿa, Al-Walid bin ʿUtba, Umaiya bin Khalaf, and ʿUqba bin Al Mu'it [??] (and he mentioned the seventh whose name I cannot recall). By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, I saw the dead bodies of those persons who were counted by Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the Qalib (one of the wells) of Badr.

ʿAbdullah bin Masʿud said, "While Messenger of Allah ﷺ was praying beside the Kaʿba, there were some Quraish people sitting in a gathering. One of them said, 'Don't you see this (who does deeds just to show off)? Who amongst you can go and bring the dung, blood and the Abdominal contents (intestines, etc.) of the slaughtered camels of the family of so and so and then wait till he prostrates and put that in between his shoulders?' The most unfortunate amongst them (ʿUqba bin Abi Mu'ait) went (and brought them) and when Messenger of Allah ﷺ prostrated, he put them between his shoulders. The Prophet remained in prostration and they laughed so much so that they fell on each other. A passerby went to Fatima, who was a young girl in those days. She came running and the Prophet ﷺ was still in prostration. She removed them and cursed upon the Quraish on their faces. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ completed his prayer, he said, 'O Allah! Take revenge on Quraish.' He said so thrice and added, 'O Allah! take revenge on ʿAmr bin Hisham, ʿUtba bin Rabiʿa, Shaiba bin Rabiʿa, Al-Walid bin ʿUtba, Umaiya bin Khalaf, ʿUqba bin Abi Mu'ait and ʿUmar a bin Al-Walid." ʿAbdullah added, "By Allah! I saw all of them dead in the battle field on the day of Badr and they were dragged and thrown in the Qalib (a well) at Badr: Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, 'Allah's curse has descended upon the people of the Qalib (well).  

بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي عِنْدَ الْكَعْبَةِ وَجَمْعُ قُرَيْشٍ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ إِذْ قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ أَلاَ تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى هَذَا الْمُرَائِي أَيُّكُمْ يَقُومُ إِلَى جَزُورِ آلِ فُلاَنٍ فَيَعْمِدُ إِلَى فَرْثِهَا وَدَمِهَا وَسَلاَهَا فَيَجِيءُ بِهِ ثُمَّ يُمْهِلُهُ حَتَّى إِذَا سَجَدَ وَضَعَهُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ فَانْبَعَثَ أَشْقَاهُمْ فَلَمَّا سَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَضَعَهُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ وَثَبَتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَاجِدًا فَضَحِكُوا حَتَّى مَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ مِنَ الضَّحِكِ فَانْطَلَقَ مُنْطَلِقٌ إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ وَهْىَ جُوَيْرِيَةٌ فَأَقْبَلَتْ تَسْعَى وَثَبَتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَاجِدًا حَتَّى أَلْقَتْهُ عَنْهُ وَأَقْبَلَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ تَسُبُّهُمْ فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِقُرَيْشٍ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِقُرَيْشٍ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِقُرَيْشٍ ثُمَّ سَمَّى اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِعَمْرِو بْنِ هِشَامٍ وَعُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ وَشَيْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ وَالْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ وَأُمَيَّةَ بْنِ خَلَفٍ وَعُقْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ وَعُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَوَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُمْ صَرْعَى يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ ثُمَّ سُحِبُوا إِلَى الْقَلِيبِ قَلِيبِ بَدْرٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأُتْبِعَ أَصْحَابُ الْقَلِيبِ لَعْنَةً  

While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was saying his prayer near the Ka'ba and Abu Jahl with his companions was sitting (near by), Abu Jahl said, referring to the she-camel that had been slaughtered the previous day: Who will rise to fetch the foetus of the she-camel of so and so, and place it between the shoulders of Muhammad when he goes down in prostration (a posture in prayer). The one most accursed among the people got up, brought the foetus and, when the Prophet ﷺ went down in prostration, placed it between his shoulders. Then they laughed at him and some of them leaned upon the others with laughter. And I stood looking. If I had the power, I would have thrown it away from the back of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ had bent down his head in prostration and did not raise it, until a man went (to his house) and informed (his daughter) Fatima, who was a young girl (at that time) (about this ugly incident). She came and removed (the filthy thing) from him. Then she turned towards them rebuking them (the mischief-mongers). When the Prophet ﷺ had finished his prayer, he invoked God's imprecations upon them in a loud voice. When he prayed, he prayed thrice, and when he asked for God's blessings, he asked thrice. Then he said thrice: O Allah, it is for Thee to deal with the Quraish. When they heard his voice, laughter vanished from them and they feared his malediction. Then he said: O God, it is for Thee to deal with Abu Jahl b. Hisham, 'Utba b. Rabi'a, Shaiba b. Rabi'a. Walid b. Uqba, Umayya b. Khalaf, Uqba b. Abu Mu'ait (and he mentioned the name of the seventh person. which I did not remember). By One Who sent Muhammad with truth, I saw (all) those he had named lying slain on the Day of Badr. Their dead bodies were dragged to be thrown into a pit near the battlefield. Abu Ishiq had said that the name of Walid b. 'Uqba has been wrongly mentioned in this tradition.

رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي عِنْدَ الْكَعْبَةِ وَجَمِيعُ قُرَيْشٍ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ يَنْظُرُونَ إِذْ قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ أَلَا تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى هَذَا الْمُرَائِي؟ أَيُّكُمْ يَقُومُ إِلَى جَزُورِ بَنِي فُلَانٍ فَيَعْمِدُ إِلَى فَرْثِهَا وَدَمِهَا وَسَلَاهَا فَيَجِيءُ بِهِ ثُمَّ يُمْهِلُهُ حَتَّى إِذَا سَجَدَ وَضَعَهُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ؟ فَانْبَعَثَ أَشْقَاهَا فَجَاءَ بِهِ فَلَمَّا سَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَضَعَهُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ وَثَبَتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَاجِدًا وَضَحِكُوا حَتَّى مَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ مِنَ الضَّحِكِ فَانْطَلَقَ مُنْطَلِقٌ إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ ؓ وَهِيَ جُوَيْرِيَةٌ فَأَقْبَلَتْ تَسْعَى حَتَّى أَلْقَتْهُ عَنْهُ وَأَقْبَلَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ تَسُبُّهُمْ فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ اللهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِقُرَيْشٍ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ سَمَّى اللهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِعَمْرِو بْنِ هِشَامٍ وَبِعُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ وَالْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ وَأُمَيَّةَ بْنِ خَلَفٍ وَعُقْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ وَعُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُمْ صَرْعَى يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ يُسْحَبُونَ إِلَى قَلِيبِ بَدْرٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَتْبِعْ أَصْحَابَ الْقَلِيبِ لَعْنَةً  

While the Prophet ﷺ was in the state of prostration, surrounded by a group of people from Quraish pagans. ʿUqba bin Abi Mu'ait came and brought the intestines of a camel and threw them on the back of the Prophet ﷺ . The Prophet ﷺ did not raise his head from prostration till Fatima (i.e. his daughter) came and removed those intestines from his back, and invoked evil on whoever had done (the evil deed). The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Allah! Destroy the chiefs of Quraish, O Allah! Destroy Abu Jahl bin Hisham, ʿUtba bin Rabiʿa, Shaiba bin Rabiʿa, ʿUqba bin Abi Mu'ait, Umaiya bin Khalaf (or Ubai bin Kalaf)." Later on I saw all of them killed during the battle of Badr and their bodies were thrown into a well except the body of Umaiya or Ubai, because he was a fat person, and when he was pulled, the parts of his body got separated before he was thrown into the well.  

بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَاجِدٌ وَحَوْلَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِذْ جَاءَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ بِسَلَى جَزُورٍ فَقَذَفَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهُ حَتَّى جَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ فَأَخَذَتْ مِنْ ظَهْرِهِ وَدَعَتْ عَلَى مَنْ صَنَعَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ الْمَلأَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا جَهْلِ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعُتْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ وَشَيْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ وَعُقْبَةَ بْنَ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ وَأُمَيَّةَ بْنَ خَلَفٍ أَوْ أُبَىَّ بْنَ خَلَفٍ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُمْ قُتِلُوا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ فَأُلْقُوا فِي بِئْرٍ غَيْرَ أُمَيَّةَ أَوْ أُبَىٍّ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلاً ضَخْمًا فَلَمَّا جَرُّوهُ تَقَطَّعَتْ أَوْصَالُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُلْقَى فِي الْبِئْرِ  

While the Prophet ﷺ was prostrating, surrounded by some of Quraish, ʿUqba bin Abi Mu'ait brought the intestines (i.e. Abdominal contents) of a camel and put them over the back of the Prophet. The Prophet ﷺ did not raise his head, (till) Fatima, came and took it off his back and cursed the one who had done the harm. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Allah! Destroy the chiefs of Quraish, Abu Jahl bin Hisham, ʿUtba bin Rabiʿal, Shaba bin Rabiʿa, Umaiya bin Khalaf or Ubai bin Khalaf." (The sub-narrator Shuʿba, is not sure of the last name.) I saw these people killed on the day of Badr battle and thrown in the well except Umaiya or Ubai whose body parts were mutilated but he was not thrown in the well.  

بَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَاجِدٌ وَحَوْلَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ جَاءَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ بِسَلَى جَزُورٍ فَقَذَفَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهُ فَجَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ فَأَخَذَتْهُ مِنْ ظَهْرِهِ وَدَعَتْ عَلَى مَنْ صَنَعَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ الْمَلأَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَبَا جَهْلِ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعُتْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ وَشَيْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ وَأُمَيَّةَ بْنَ خَلَفٍ أَوْ أُبَىَّ بْنَ خَلَفٍ شُعْبَةُ الشَّاكُّ فَرَأَيْتُهُمْ قُتِلُوا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ فَأُلْقُوا فِي بِئْرٍ غَيْرَ أُمَيَّةَ أَوْ أُبَىٍّ تَقَطَّعَتْ أَوْصَالُهُ فَلَمْ يُلْقَ فِي الْبِئْرِ  

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was lying postrate in prayer and around him were some people from the Quraish, 'Uqba b. Abu Mu'ait brought the foetus of a she-camel and threw it on the back of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He did not raise his head until Fatima arrived, removed it from his back and cured him who had done that (ugly act). He said: O Allah, it is for Thee to deal with the chiefs of the Quraish. Abu Jahl b. Hisham, 'Utba b. Rabi'a. Uqba b. Abu Mu'ait, Shaiba b. Rabi'a, Umayya b. Khalaf or Ubayy b. Khalaf (Shu'ba, one of the narrator of this tradition is in doubt about the exact person). I saw that all were slain in the Battle of Badr and their dead bodies were thrown into a well, except that of Umayya or Ubayy which was cut into pieces and was thrown into the well.

[Machine] I have never seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ invoke Allah's curse upon the Quraish except on one occasion. He was praying and a number of Quraish were sitting close by, while a sheep was being slaughtered nearby. They said: "Who will take up this dung and throw it on his back?" Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ait stood up, took it and threw it on his back, and he kept praying, prostrating himself, until Fatimah, the Messenger of Allah's daughter ﷺ , came and took it off his back. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: "O Allah, curse the tribe of Quraish. O Allah, curse Utbah bin Rabi'ah. O Allah, curse Shaybah bin Rabi'ah. O Allah, curse Abu Jahl bin Hisham. O Allah, curse Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ait. O Allah, curse Ubay bin Khalaf or Umayyah bin Khalaf." Abdullah said: "I saw them all killed on the day of Badr, except Ubay and Umayyah, for they were two large and heavy men and became detached (from the battlefield)."  

مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ دَعَا عَلَى قُرَيْشٍ غَيْرَ يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي وَرَهْطٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ جُلُوسٌ وَسَلَى جَزُورٍ قَرِيبٌ مِنْهُ فَقَالُوا مَنْ يَأْخُذُ هَذَا السَّلَى فَيُلْقِيَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ أَنَا فَأَخَذَهُ فَأَلْقَاهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ سَاجِدًا حَتَّى جَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهَا فَأَخَذَتْهُ عَنْ ظَهْرِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اللهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ الْمَلَأَ مِنْقُرَيْشٍ اللهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِعُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ اللهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِشَيْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ اللهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِأَبِي جَهْلِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ اللهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بعُقْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ اللهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِأُبَيِّ بْنِ خَلَفٍ أَوْ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ خَلَفٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُمْ قُتِلُوا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ سُحِبُوا إِلَى الْقَلِيبِ غَيْرَ أُبَيٍّ أَوْ أُمَيَّةَ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلًا ضَخْمًا فَتَقَطَّعَ

بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَاجِدٌ وَحَوْلُهُ نَاسٌ إِذْ جَاءَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ بِسَلَى جَزُورٍ فَقَذَفَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهُ فَجَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ فَأَخَذَتْهُ مِنْ ظَهْرِهِ وَدَعَتْ عَلَى مَنْ صَنَعَ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ الْمَلَأَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَبَا جَهْلِ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعُتْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ وَشَيْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ وَعُقْبَةَ بْنَ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ وَأُمَيَّةَ بْنَ خَلَفٍ أَوْ أُبَيَّ بْنَ خَلَفٍ» شَكَّ شُعْبَةُ قَالَ «فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُمْ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَأُلْقُوا فِي بِئْرٍ غَيْرَ أَنَّ أُمَيَّةَ تَقَطَّعَتْ أَوْصَالُهُ فَلَمْ يُلْقَ فِي الْبِئْرِ»  

[Machine] While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in a state of prostration and the leaders of Quraysh were sitting, a decapitated head of a camel was thrown. They said, "Who among you would take care of this?" He (the Messenger of Allah) replied, "Leave that and let it be." Uqbah ibn Abi Mu'ayt took it and threw it on his back, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained in prostration without raising his head until Fatimah came and took it off his back and cursed those who had done such an act. On that day, I saw him (the Messenger of Allah) supplicating against them saying, "O Allah, punish Abu Jahl ibn Hisham, Utbah ibn Rabiah, Umayyah ibn Khalaf, and Uqbah ibn Abi Mu'ayt." I saw them killed on the Day of Badr and their bodies thrown except for Umayyah who was a huge man, and when he was dragged, he was torn apart.  

بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَاجِدٌ وَالْمَلَأُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ جُلُوسٌ وَسَلَى جَزُورٍ مَطْرُوحَةٌ فَقَالُوا «أَيُّكُمْ يَذْهَبُ بِهَذَا؟» قَالَ «فَهَابُوا ذَلِكَ فَأَخَذَهُ عُقْبَةُ فَطَرَحَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَاجِدٌ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهُ حَتَّى جَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ فَأَخَذَتْهُ عَنْ ظَهْرِهِ وَسَبَّتِ الَّذِي فَعَلَهُ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ دَعَا عَلَيْهِمْ» فَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِأَبِي جَهْلِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ وَعُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ وَأُبَيًّا أَوْ أُمَيَّةَ وَعُقْبَةَ بْنَ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ فَرَأَيْتُهُمْ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ قُتِلُوا فَأُلْقُوا إِلَّا أُمَيَّةَ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلًا ضَخْمًا فَلَمَّا جُرَّ تَقَطَّعَ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us while we were digging the trench and carrying out the earth on our backs. Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "O Allah ! There is no life except the life of the Hereafter, so please forgive the Emigrants and the Ansar."  

جَاءَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نَحْفِرُ الْخَنْدَقَ وَنَنْقُلُ التُّرَابَ عَلَى أَكْتَادِنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ عَيْشَ إِلاَّ عَيْشُ الآخِرَهْ فَاغْفِرْ لِلْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالأَنْصَارِ

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْخَنْدَقِ وَهُمْ يَحْفِرُونَ وَنَحْنُ نَنْقُلُ التُّرَابَ عَلَى أَكْتَادِنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ عَيْشَ إِلاَّ عَيْشُ الآخِرَهْ فَاغْفِرْ لِلْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالأَنْصَارِ  

We were in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ in (the battle of) Al-Khandaq, and he was digging the trench while we were carrying the earth away. He looked at us and said, "O Allah! There is no life worth living except the life of the Hereafter, so (please) forgive the Ansar and the Emigrants."  

حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْخَنْدَقِ وَهْوَ يَحْفِرُ وَنَحْنُ نَنْقُلُ التُّرَابَ وَيَمُرُّ بِنَا فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ عَيْشَ إِلاَّ عَيْشُ الآخِرَهْ فَاغْفِرْ لِلأَنْصَارِ وَالْمُهَاجِرَهْ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us while we were digging the ditch and were carrying the earth on our shoulders. (Seeing our condition), he said: O God, there is no life but the life of the Hereafter. So forgive Thou the Muhajirs and the Ansar.

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَالْخَنْدَقِ وَهُمْ يَحْفِرُونَ وَنَحْنُ نَنْقُلُ التُّرَابَ عَلَى أَكْتَافِنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اللهُمَّ لَا عَيْشَ إِلَّا عَيْشُ الْآخِرَةِ فَاغْفِرْ لِلْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ
