"While we were standing with the Messenger of Allah at 'Arafat, he said: 'O people, it is upon each family to offer a sacrifice (Udhiyah) and an 'Atirah each year." (One of the narrators) Muadh said: "Ibn 'Awn used to offer slaughter the 'Atirah, and I saw that with my own eyes during Rajab." (Daif) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4224)  

بَيْنَا نَحْنُ وُقُوفٌ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِعَرَفَةَ فَقَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ عَلَى أَهْلِ كُلِّ بَيْتٍ كُلَّ عَامٍ أَضْحَى وَعَتِيرَةً» قَالَ مُعَاذٌ كَانَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ يَعْتَرُّ أَبْصَرَتْهُ عَيْنِي فِي رَجَبٍ  

"A man called out to the Prophet and said: 'We used to sacrifice the 'Atirah - i.e., during the Jahiliyyah - in Rajab; what do you command us to do?' He said: 'Sacrifice, whatever month it is, do good for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and feed (the poor).' He said: 'We used to sacrifice the Fara' during the Jahiliyyah; what do you command us to do?' He said: 'For every flock of grazing animals, feed the firstborn as you feed the rest of your flock until it reaches an age where it could be used to carry loads, then sacrifice it, and give its meat in charity, for that is good."'  

عَنْ نُبَيْشَةَ قَالَ نَادَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَعْتِرُ عَتِيرَةً يَعْنِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فِي رَجَبٍ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا قَالَ اذْبَحُوهَا فِي أَىِّ شَهْرٍ كَانَ وَبَرُّوا اللَّهَ ﷻ وَأَطْعِمُوا قَالَ إِنَّا كُنَّا نُفْرِعُ فَرَعًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ قَالَ فِي كُلِّ سَائِمَةٍ فَرَعٌ حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَحْمَلَ ذَبَحْتَهُ وَتَصَدَّقْتَ بِلَحْمِهِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ هُوَ خُيْرٌ  

“A man called the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, we used to sacrifice the ‘Atirah during the Ignorance days in Rajab,; what do you command us to do?’ He said: “Sacrifice to Allah whatever month it is, do good for the sake of Allah and feed (the poor).’ They said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, we used to sacrifice the Far’ah during the Ignorance days; what do you command us to do?’ He said: ‘For every Sa’imah* (flock of grazing animals), feed the firstborn as you feed the rest of your flock until it reaches an age where it could be used to carry loads, then sacrifice it, and give its meat in charity’ – I** think he said – ‘to the wayfarer, for that is good.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3167)   

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَعْتِرُ عَتِيرَةً فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فِي رَجَبٍ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «اذْبَحُوا فِي أَيِّ شَهْرٍ مَا كَانَ وَبَرُّوا اللهَ وَأَطْعِمُوا» قَالَ إِنَّا كُنَّا نُفَرِّعُ فَرَعًا فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا؟ قَالَ فِي كُلِّ سَائِمَةٍ فَرَعٌ تَغْذُوهُ مَاشِيَتُكَ حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَحْمَلَ ذَبَحْتَهُ فَتَصَدَّقْتَ بِلَحْمِهِ

(Using translation from Nasāʾī 4231)  

نَادَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَعْتِرُ عَتِيرَةً يَعْنِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فِي رَجَبٍ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا؟ قَالَ «اذْبَحُوا لَهُ فِي أَيِّ شَهْرٍ مَا كَانَ وَبَرُّوا اللهَ وَأَطْعِمُوا» قَالَ إِنَّا كُنَّا نُفَرِّعُ فَرَعًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ قَالَ «فِي كُلِّ سَائِمَةٍ فَرَعٌ حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَحْمَلَ ذَبَحْتَهُ وَتَصَدَّقْتَ بِلَحْمِهِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ هُوَ خَيْرٌ»  

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I do not see you fasting any month as much as Shaban.' He said: 'That is a month to which people do not pay much attention, between Rajab and Ramadan. It is a month in which the deeds are taken up to the Lord of the worlds, and I like that my deeds be taken up when I am fasting."'  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ أَرَكَ تَصُومُ شَهْرًا مِنَ الشُّهُورِ مَا تَصُومُ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ قَالَ ذَلِكَ شَهْرٌ يَغْفُلُ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ بَيْنَ رَجَبٍ وَرَمَضَانَ وَهُوَ شَهْرٌ تُرْفَعُ فِيهِ الأَعْمَالُ إِلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ عَمَلِي وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ  

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I do not see you fasting any month as much as Shaban.' He said: 'That is a month to which people do not pay much attention, between Rajab and Ramadan. It is a month in which the deeds are taken up to the Lord of the worlds, and I like that my deeds be taken up when I am fasting."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2357)  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ أَرَكَ تَصُومُ مِنَ شَهْرٍ مِنَ الشُّهُورِ مَا تَصُومُ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ قَالَ «ذَلِكَ شَهْرٌ يَغْفُلُ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ بَيْنَ رَجَبَ وَرَمَضَانَ وَهُوَ شَهْرٌ تُرْفَعُ فِيهِ الْأَعْمَالُ إِلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ عَمَلِي وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ»  

I said: Messenger of Allah, I do not see you fasting ˹more˺ in any month like you fast in Shaʿbān. He said, "People are heedless in that month between Rajab and Ramaḍān and it is the month where deeds are raised up to the Lord of the worlds. Therefore I prefer that my deeds are raised up while I'm fasting."  

قُلتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله! لَمْ أَرَاكَ تَصُومُ مِنْ شَهْرٍ مِنَ الشُّهُورِ مَا تَصُومُ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ؟ قَالَ: «ذَلِكَ شَهْرٌ يَغْفُلُ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ بَيْنَ رَجبٍ وَرَمَضَانَ، وَهُوَ شَهْرٌ تُرْفَعُ فِيهِ الأعْمَالُ إِلَى رَبَ الْعَالمِينَ، فَأُحِبُّ أنْ يُرْفَعَ عَمَلِى وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ۔»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ concluded peace with the people of Najran on condition that they would pay to Muslims two thousand suits of garments, half of Safar, and the rest in Rajab, and they would lend (Muslims) thirty coats of mail, thirty horses, thirty camels, and thirty weapons of each type used in battle. Muslims will stand surely for them until they return them in case there is any plot or treachery in the Yemen. No church of theirs will be demolished and no clergyman of theirs will be turned out. There will be no interruption in their religion until they bring something new or take usury. Isma'il said: They took usury. Abu Dawud said: If they violate any provision of the treaty, they will be deemed as bringing something new.  

صَالَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَهْلَ نَجْرَانَ عَلَى أَلْفَىْ حُلَّةٍ النِّصْفُ فِي صَفَرٍ وَالْبَقِيَّةُ فِي رَجَبٍ يُؤَدُّونَهَا إِلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَارِيَةِ ثَلاَثِينَ دِرْعًا وَثَلاَثِينَ فَرَسًا وَثَلاَثِينَ بَعِيرًا وَثَلاَثِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ صِنْفٍ مِنْ أَصْنَافِ السِّلاَحِ يَغْزُونَ بِهَا وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ ضَامِنُونَ لَهَا حَتَّى يَرُدُّوهَا عَلَيْهِمْ إِنْ كَانَ بِالْيَمَنِ كَيْدٌ أَوْ غَدْرَةٌ عَلَى أَنْ لاَ تُهْدَمَ لَهُمْ بَيْعَةٌ وَلاَ يُخْرَجُ لَهُمْ قَسٌّ وَلاَ يُفْتَنُوا عَنْ دِينِهِمْ مَا لَمْ يُحْدِثُوا حَدَثًا أَوْ يَأْكُلُوا الرِّبَا قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ فَقَدْ أَكَلُوا الرِّبَا  

[Machine] Salih, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , took from the people of Najran two thousand half garments, half in Safar and half in Rajab, which they used to deliver to the Muslims. He also took thirty coats of armor, thirty horses, thirty camels, and thirty of each type of weapon, which the Muslims used in their battles. The Muslims guaranteed to return these items to them if they were attacked from the direction of Yemen. Ash-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said, "I have heard from some of the knowledgeable Muslims and the people of the Covenant from the people of Najran that the value of what was taken from each individual was more than a dinar."  

صَالَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَهْلَ نَجْرَانَ عَلَى أَلْفَيْ حُلَّةٍ النِّصْفُ فِي صَفَرٍ وَالنِّصْفُ فِي رَجَبٍ يُؤَدُّونَهَا إِلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَارِيَةٍ ثَلَاثِينَ دِرْعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ فَرَسًا وَثَلَاثِينَ بَعِيرًا وَثَلَاثِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ صِنْفٍ مِنْ أَصْنَافِ السِّلَاحِ يَغْزُونَ بِهَا الْمُسْلِمُونَ ضَامِنُونَ لَهَا حَتَّى يَرُدُّوهَا عَلَيْهِمْ إِنْ كَانَ بِالْيَمَنِ كَيْدٌ 18681 قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ بَعْضَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَمَنْ أَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ نَجْرَانَ يَذْكُرُ أَنَّ قِيمَةَ مَا أُخِذَ مِنْ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ دِينَارٍ  

Ibn Umar was asked: In which month did the Messenger of Allah perform Umrah? He said: 'During Rajab.' So Aishah said: 'The Messenger of Allah did not perform Umrah except that he was with him - meaning Ibn Umar - and he did not ever perform Umrah in the month of Rajab.'"  

سُئِلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فِي أَىِّ شَهْرٍ اعْتَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ فِي رَجَبٍ قَالَ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ مَا اعْتَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ مَعَهُ تَعْنِي ابْنَ عُمَرَ وَمَا اعْتَمَرَ فِي شَهْرِ رَجَبٍ قَطُّ  

“Ibn ‘Umar was asked: ‘In which month did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform ‘Umrah?’ He said: ‘In Rajab.’ But ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never performed ‘Umrah during Rajab, and he never performed ‘Umrah, but he (meaning Ibn ‘Umar) was with him.”  

سُئِلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فِي أَىِّ شَهْرٍ اعْتَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فِي رَجَبٍ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ مَا اعْتَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي رَجَبٍ قَطُّ وَمَا اعْتَمَرَ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ مَعَهُ تَعْنِي ابْنَ عُمَرَ  

[Machine] He asked Ibn Umar if the Messenger of Allahﷺ used to perform Umrah in Rajab. Ibn Umar replied, "Yes." He then informed Aisha about it, and she said, "May Allah have mercy on Abu Abdullah, the Messenger of Allahﷺ never performed Umrah unless he was with him. And the Messenger of Allahﷺ never performed Umrah in Rajab."  

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعْتَمِرُ فِي رَجَبٍ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَخْبَرَ بِذَلِكَ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ يَرْحَمُ اللهُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَا اعْتَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عُمْرَةً إِلَّا وَهُوَ مَعَهُ وَمَا اعْتَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي رَجَبٍ قَطُّ  

[Machine] Urwah ibn al-Zubayr asked Ibn Umar, "In which month did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform Umrah?" He replied, "In the month of Rajab." Aisha overheard and Ibn Zubayr asked her and informed her of what Ibn Umar said. She said, "May Allah have mercy on Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ never performed Umrah except in the month of Dhul-Hijjah."  

سَأَلَ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ ابْنَ عُمَرَ فِي أَيِّ شَهْرٍ اعْتَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ فِي رَجَبٍ فَسَمِعَتْنَا عَائِشَةُ فَسَأَلَهَا ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ وَأَخْبَرَهَابِقَوْلِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ؟ فَقَالَتْ يَرْحَمُ اللهُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَا اعْتَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عُمْرَةً إِلَّا قَدْ شَهِدَهَا وَمَا اعْتَمَرَ عُمْرَةً قَطُّ إِلَّا فِي ذِي الْحِجَّةِ  

"The Prophet performed Umrah four times, one of them was during Rajab."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ اعْتَمَرَ أَرْبَعًا إِحْدَاهُنَّ فِي رَجَبٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah performed Umrah four times, one of them in the month of Rajab.  

«اعْتَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعَ عُمَرٍ إِحْدَاهُنَّ فِي رَجَبٍ»  

The Prophet ﷺ forbade fasting Rajab.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ صِيَامِ رَجَبٍ  

“There is no Far’ah and no ‘Atirah.”  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ فَرَعَةَ وَلاَ عَتِيرَةَ قَالَ هِشَامٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَالْفَرَعَةُ أَوَّلُ النَّتَاجِ وَالْعَتِيرَةُ الشَّاةُ يَذْبَحُهَا أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ فِي رَجَبٍ  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Medina, Juhaynah came to him and said, "You have come among us, so pledge trustworthiness to us until we come to you and believe in you." So he pledged trustworthiness to them and they became Muslims. He said, "Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us in the month of Rajab, and we were not a hundred, and he commanded us to change course from Banu Kinanah to Juhaynah. So we approached them and they prevented us and said, 'Why are you fighting in the sacred month?' We said, 'We only fight those who drove us out of the sacred land during the sacred month.' Some of us said to others, 'What do you think?' Some of us said, 'Let's go to the Prophet ﷺ and inform him.' And a group said, 'No, let's establish ourselves here.' I said, 'I have some people with me, let's not go to an unprotected area of the Quraysh and seize their camels.' So we headed towards the camels, and at that time, whoever took something, it belonged to him. We went towards the camels, and our companions went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of the news. He got up angry and with a red face and said, 'You all left from me, and you came separately. Only those who were before you were destroyed by division. I will send upon you a man who is not the best among you in terms of patience, hunger, and thirst.' So he sent Abdullah bin Jahsh al-Asadi upon us, and he was the first appointed leader in Islam."  

لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ جَاءَتْهُ جُهَيْنَةُ فَقَالُوا إِنَّكَ قَدْ نَزَلْتَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا فَأَوْثِقْ لَنَا حَتَّى نَأْتِيَكَ وَتُؤْمِنَّا فَأَوْثَقَ لَهُمْ فَأَسْلَمُوا قَالَ فَبَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي رَجَبٍ وَلا نَكُونُ مِائَةً وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نُغِيرَ عَلَى حَيٍّ مِنْ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ إِلَى جَنْبِ جُهَيْنَةَ فَأَغَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ وَكَانُوا كَثِيرًا فَلَجَأْنَا إِلَى جُهَيْنَةَ فَمَنَعُونَا وَقَالُوا لِمَ تُقَاتِلُونَ فِي الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ فَقُلْنَا إِنَّمَا نُقَاتِلُ مَنِ أخْرَجَنَا مِنَ الْبَلَدِ الْحَرَامِ فِي الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ مَا تَرَوْنَ؟ فَقَالَ بَعْضُنَا نَأْتِي نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ فَنُخْبِرُهُ وَقَالَ قَوْمٌ لَا بَلْ نُقِيمُ هَاهُنَا وَقُلْتُ أَنَا فِي أُنَاسٍ مَعِي لَابَلْ نَأْتِي عِيرَ قُرَيْشٍ فَنَقْتَطِعُهَا فَانْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى الْعِيرِ وَكَانَ الْفَيْءُ إِذْ ذَاكَ مَنِ أخَذَ شَيْئًا فَهُوَ لَهُ فَانْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى الْعِيرِ وَانْطَلَقَ أَصْحَابُنَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ الْخَبَرَ فَقَامَ غَضْبَانَ مُحْمَرَّ الْوَجْهِ فَقَالَ أَذَهَبْتُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِي جَمِيعًا وَجِئْتُمْ مُتَفَرِّقِينَ إِنَّمَا أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمِ الْفُرْقَةُ لأبْعَثَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ رَجُلًا لَيْسَ بِخَيْرِكُمْ أَصْبَرُكُمْ عَلَى الْجُوعِ وَالْعَطَشِ فَبَعَثَ عَلَيْنَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ جَحْشٍ الْأَسَدِيَّ فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ أَمِيرٍ أُمِّرَ فِي الْإِسْلامِ  

"عَنْ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ الْمَدينَةَ جَاءَتْ جُهَيْنَةُ فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّكَ قَدْ نَزَلتَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا، فَأَوْثِقْ لَنَا حَتَّى نَأمَنَكَ وَتَأَمَننَا، فَأَوْثَقَ لَهُمْ وَلَمْ يُسْلِمُوا فَبَعَثَنَا رسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِى رَجَبٍ وَلَا نَكُونُ مِائَةً، وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نُغِيرَ عَلَى حَىٍّ مِنْ كِنَاَنَة (إلى حى) جُهَيْنَةَ، فَأَغَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم، وَكَانُوا كثِيرًا فَلَجَأنَا إِلَى جُهَيْنَةَ وَشِعْبِهَا فَقَالُوا: لِمَ تُقَاتِلُونَ فِى الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ؟ فَقُلْنَا: إِنَّمَا نُقَاتِلُ مَنْ أَخْرَجَنَا مِنَ الْبَلَدِ الْحَرَامِ فِى الشَّهْرِ الْحَرامِ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ: مَا تَرَوْنَ؟ قَالُوا: نَأتِى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَنُخْبِرُهُ، وقَالَ قَوْمٌ: لَا، بَلْ نُقِيمُ ههُنَا، وَقُلْتُ أنَا فِى أُنَاسٍ مَعِى لَا، بَلْ نَأتِى عِيرَ قُرَيْشٍ هَذِهِ فَنُصِيبُهَا فَانْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى الْعِيرِ، وَانْطَلَقَ أَصْحَابُنَا إِلَى النَّبىِّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَروُهُ الْخَبَرَ، فَقَامَ غَضْبَانَ مُحْمَرّا لَوْنُهُ وَوَجْهُهُ، فَقَالَ: ذَهَبْتُم مِنْ عِنْدِى جَمِيعًا وجْئتُمْ مُتَفَرِّقِينَ، إِنَّمَا أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُم الفُرْقَةُ، لأَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَيْكُم رَجُلًا لَيْسَ بِخَيْرِكُم، أَصْبَرَكُم عَلَى الْجُوعِ وَالْعَطَشِ فَبَعَثَ عَلَيْنَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ جَحْشٍ الأَسَدِىَّ، فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ أَمِيرٍ فِى الإِسْلَامِ".  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about 'Aqeeqah'. He replied, "Indeed, Allah does not like disobedience, and it is as if He dislikes the name. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are asking you about a person who has a child born to him." He said, "Whoever among you wants to sacrifice for his child, let him do two sheep as a reward for a boy and one sheep for a girl." He was asked about 'Fara'. He said, "And giving up Fara is a right, and leaving it until it becomes one or two years old, born of mature parents, or a father of a well-reputed, then carrying it for the sake of Allah, or giving it to a widow, is better than slaughtering it. Its flesh adheres to its bones, and it fills your container, and you give it to your neighbors." He was asked about 'Atira'. He said, "Atira is a right." Some people asked 'Amr bin Shuaib, "What is Atira?" He said, "They used to slaughter a sheep in the month of Rajab, cook it, eat it and feed others."  

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْعُقُوقَ وَكَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ الِاسْمَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِإِنَّمَا نَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ أَحَدِنَا يُولَدُ لَهُ؟ قَالَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ فَلْيَفْعَلْ عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مُكَافَأَتَانِ وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ قَالَ وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْفَرَعِ؟ قَالَ وَالْفَرَعُ حَقٌّ وَأَنْ تَتْرُكَهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ شُغْزُبًّا أَوْ شُغْزُوبًّا ابْنَ مَخَاضٍ أَوِ ابْنَ لَبُونٍ فَتَحْمِلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَوْ تُعْطِيَهُ أَرْمَلَةً خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَذْبَحَهُ يَلْصَقُ لَحْمُهُ بِوَبَرِهِ وَتُكْفِئُ إِنَاءَكَ وَتُولِهُ نَاقَتَكَ وَقَالَ وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْعَتِيرَةِ؟ فَقَالَ الْعَتِيرَةُ حَقٌّ قَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ مَا الْعَتِيرَةُ؟ قَالَ كَانُوا يَذْبَحُونَ فِي رَجَبٍ شَاةً فَيَطْبُخُونَ وَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيُطْعِمُونَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no 'Far' or 'Atirah'." Ibn Shihab said, "'Far' refers to the people of Jahiliyyah who would slaughter the first offspring of their livestock, and 'Atirah' refers to the sacrificing that used to be done in the month of Rajab."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا فَرَعَ وَلَا عَتِيرَةَ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَالْفَرَعُ كَانَ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَذْبَحُونَ أَوَّلَ نِتَاجٍ يَكُونُ لَهُمْ وَالْعَتِيرَةُ ذَبِيحَةُ رَجَبٍ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to present himself to the people in a way that he would say, "Is there anyone who can take me to his people? The Quraysh have prevented me from delivering the message of my Lord." A man from Hamdan then came and asked, "Who are you?" The man replied, "I am from Hamdan." The man then asked, "Do your people prevent you?" He replied, "Yes." Then, the man feared that his people would harm him, so he went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "I will go to them, inform them, and then come to you in a year's time." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes." So he went, and the delegation of the Ansar came in the month of Rajab.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعْرِضُ نَفْسَهُ عَلَى النَّاسِ بِالْمَوْقِفِ فَيَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَحْمِلُنِي إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَإِنَّ قُرَيْشًا قَدْ مَنَعُونِي أَنْ أُبَلِّغَ كَلَامَ رَبِّي فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ هَمْدَانَ فَقَالَ مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ هَمْدَانَ قَالَ فَهَلْ عِنْدَقَوْمِكَ مِنْ مَنَعَةٍ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ خَشِيَ أَنْ يَخفِرَهُ قَوْمُهُ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ آتِيهِمْ فَأُخْبِرُهُمْ ثُمَّ آتِيكَ مِنْ عَامٍ قَابِلٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَانْطَلَقَ وَجَاءَ وَفْدُ الْأَنْصَارِ فِي رَجَبٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to present himself to the people in a certain situation and say, "Is there anyone who can take me to his people? The Quraysh have prevented me from conveying the words of my Lord." So a man from the Bani Hamdan came to him and said, "I can." He asked, "Are there any restrictions among your people?" The man replied, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then asked, "Where are you from?" He said, "From Hamdan." Then the man from Hamdan feared that his people might harm him, so he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "I will go to my people and inform them, and then I will meet you in 'Aam Qabil." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Yes." So he set off and the delegation of the Ansar came in the month of Rajab.

[Machine] A foundling came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ along with his companion, who was called Nuhayk ibn 'Asim ibn Malik ibn al-Muntafiq. The foundling said, "I left with my companion until we reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in order to denounce al-Nasila during Rajab. We arrived to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and met him when he finished his morning prayer. Then, he stood up among the people as a speaker, and said, 'O people, behold, I have hidden my voice from you for four days! I assure you that I will make you hear it. Is there anyone among you who has been sent by his people?' They replied, 'We know what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ says. Perhaps he is occupied with his own speech, or the speech of his companion, or perhaps he is occupied by the devils.' I said, 'I am here to fulfill your request. I have something to say to you.' Then, the people sat down, and I and my companion remained standing until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was finished with us. Then, he laughed and shook his head, indicating that he knew I was seeking information about my lineage. He said, 'Your Lord has five keys to the unseen which only He knows. He gestured with his hand and I said, 'What are they?' He said, 'The knowledge of the hour of death, He knows when the semen forms in the womb, and when it will be placed in the womb. He knows what will happen tomorrow. He knows whether or not you will eat tomorrow, and knows when the rain will fall. He endows the afflicted ones of His subjects to seek refuge from Him in hope, fear, and sadness.' Then he continued laughing, showing that he knew his close ones were nearby. The foundling said, 'I said, 'We will never be deprived of someone who laughs well.' Then he added, 'And He knows the Day of Judgment!' I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, teach me what you teach the people, and what you know that we don't know. We are from a region where nobody believes us.' He replied, 'You will live for as long as you have lived thus far, then your Prophet will come to you and you will live again. After that, you will be revived and witness the Resurrection, and then it will be sent forth, the shout of horror by the god (Allah), on whose back nothing exists but death, whether it is a killer carrying something or a tight clay coffin, until the grave splits open from the head of the prophet and his sat down and said, 'Your Lord wanders around the earth while the towns stood on its edge.' Then He sent out His Lord, the Sky, so they appeared magnificent, but it is as if He imagined on His back prevention murder or a grave of death, only the grave is separated from the head until it becomes equal in size and then, he would sit down. I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, how will He gather us after we have been dispersed by the winds, disasters, and wild animals?' He asked, 'Do you want me to tell you something similar? When Allah's Earth appears as a crushed grape, you will say, "Never, eternal life!", but then Allah will send His sky over you, and you will not live long after that until Allah's sky appears to you as one gulp, and I swear by Allah, your God is more capable of gathering you from water than gathering the plants of the Earth and bringing you out of the

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Abdullah ibn Jahsh to a palm tree and told him to stay there until he brought news of Quraish. He did not command him to fight, and this was during the sacred month. He wrote him a letter before informing him of his destination, saying "Go out with your companions until you have traveled for two days, then open your letter and see what I have commanded you in it, and act accordingly. Do not force anyone from your companions to go with you." When he had traveled for two days, he opened the letter and found that he was to continue until he reached Nakhla and brought us news of Quraish. He said to his companions when he read the letter aloud, "Whoever among you desires martyrdom, come with me, for I am going to fulfill the command of the Messenger of Allah. And whoever dislikes that among you, let him return, for the Messenger of Allah has forbidden me from forcing anyone to go with me." So the people went with him until they reached Buhran, and Saad bin Abi Waqqas and Utbah bin Ghazwan lagged behind, searching for their lost camel. The rest of the group continued until they reached Nakhla. Along the way, they encountered Amr bin Al-Hadrami and Al-Hakam bin Kayssan and Uthman and Al-Mughirah bin Abdullah, who were with them for a trade journey. They had come with a shipment of dates and raisins from Ta'if. When the group saw them, Uqba bin Abu Mu'ayt, who had shaved his head, said, "There is no harm on you from them." The people of Quraish caught up with them on the last day of Rajab and said, "If you kill them, you will be killing them in the sacred month. And if you leave them, they will enter Makkah tonight and you will miss them." So the group unanimously decided to kill them. Waqid bin Abdullah At-Tamimi threw a spear at Amr bin al-Hadrami and killed him, and Uthman bin Abdullah and Al-Hakam bin Kayssan were captured. Al-Mughirah managed to escape and led the enemy to the Muslims. They seized the caravan, and brought it to the Messenger of Allah, who said to them, "By Allah, I did not order you to fight in the sacred month." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ detained the captives and the caravan, and did not take anything from it. When the Messenger of Allah said to them what he said, they thought that he had killed them, and their Muslim brethren severely reprimanded them. When the news reached Quraish, they said, "Muhammad has spilled blood in the sacred month, and has taken wealth and captured men and has desecrated the sacred month." So Allah revealed in this regard, "They ask you about the sacred month - about fighting therein. Say, 'Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allah and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Haram and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of Allah. And fitnah [persecution] is greater than killing" [Quran 2:217]. When this Ayah was revealed, the Messenger of Allah released the captives and the caravan as ransom. The Muslims said, "Do we have hope that it would be a battle?" So Allah revealed about them, "Indeed, those who have believed and those who have emigrated" [Quran 2:218] until the end of the Ayah.

[Machine] I reached the Prophet ﷺ on the day of Arafat, and he said while speaking: "Do you know it?" He said, "I do not know what they have returned to." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "It is incumbent upon the people of every household to sacrifice a sheep in every Rajab and a sheep in every Eid Al-Adha."  

انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ قَالَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ هَلْ تَعْرِفُونَهَا؟ قَالَ فَمَا أَدْرِي مَا رَجَعُوا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى أَهْلِ كُلِّ بَيْتٍ أَنْ يَذْبَحُوا شَاةً فِي كُلِّ رَجَبٍ وَكُلِّ أَضْحَى شَاةً  

[Machine] I arrived to the Prophet ﷺ on the day of Arafah and he was saying, "Do you know it?" I do not know what they (the people) responded to him. So the Prophet ﷺ said, "It is upon the people of every household to sacrifice a sheep in every Rajab and a sheep in every Eid al-Adha."  

انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «هَلْ تَعْرِفُونَهَا؟» وَلَا أَدْرِي مَا رَجَعُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «عَلَى أَهْلِ كُلِّ بَيْتٍ أَنْ يَذْبَحُوا شَاةً فِي كُلِّ رَجَبٍ وَفِي كُلِّ أَضْحًى شَاةٌ»  

"عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ مِخْنَفٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِىِّ ﷺ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: هَلْ تَعْرِفُونَهَا؟ فَمَا أَدْرِى مَا رَجَعُوا إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ : عَلَى أَهْلِ كُلَّ بَيْتٍ أَنْ يَذْبَحُوا شَاةً فِى كُلَّ رَجَبٍ وَفِي كُلِّ أَضْحَى".

Asma’ sent me to 'Abdullah bin 'Umar, and she said: I have heard that you regard three things as haram: borders on garments, saddle cloths made of bright red cloth, and fasting the whole of Rajab. 'Abdullah said to me: As for what you have mentioned about Rajab, what about one who fasts continually? As for what you said about borders on garments, I heard 'Umar bin al-Khattab say: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “Whoever wears silk in this world will not wear it in the Hereafter.ʿ  

أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهَا أَنَّكَ تُحَرِّمُ أَشْيَاءَ ثَلاثَةً الْعَلَمَ فِي الثَّوْبِ وَمِيثَرَةَ الْأُرْجُوَانِ وَصَوْمَ رَجَبٍ كُلِّهِ فَقَالَ أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنْ صَوْمِ رَجَبٍ فَكَيْفَ بِمَنْ يَصُومُ الْأَبَدَ؟ وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنَ الْعَلَمِ فِي الثَّوْبِ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ لَبِسَ الْحَرِيرَ فِي الدُّنْيَا لَمْ يَلْبَسْهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ  

[Machine] It is said that Mu'adhah went out in Rajab to visit her family in Hajjar. His wife ran away from him afterwards, while he was traveling, and sought refuge with a man among them known as Mutarrif ibn Buhshal ibn Kaab ibn Qamaysha ibn Dulaf ibn Ahzam ibn Abdullah. He hid her behind his back. When Mu'adhah arrived and did not find her.  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْأَعْشَى وَاسْمُهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْأَعْوَرِ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ امْرَأَةٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا مُعَاذَةُ خَرَجَ فِي رَجَبٍ يَمِيرُ أَهْلَهُ مِنْ هَجَرَ فَهَرَبَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ بَعْدَهُ نَاشِزًا عَلَيْهِ فَعَاذَتْ بِرَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ مُطَرِّفُ بْنُ بُهْصُلِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ قَمَيْشَعِ بْنِ دُلَفَ بْنِ أَهْضَمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَجَعَلَهَا خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ وَلَمْ يَجِدْهَا  

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ and recited to him [the poem of Hitya ibn al-Rijaz]:

O Malik of the people and judge of the Arabs,

I met a dejection of dejections in the morning,

I sought food from it in Rajab,

But it left me in dispute and fled,

It broke the covenant and clung to sin,

And they are an evil conqueror for the one it conquers,

So the Prophet ﷺ said at that time,

And they are an evil conqueror for the one it conquers.  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ[البحر الرجز]يَا مَالِكَ النَّاسِ وَدَيَّانَ الْعَرَبْ إِنِّي لَقِيتُ ذِرْبَةً مِنَ الذِّرَبْغَدَوْتُ أَبْغِيهَا الطَّعَامَ فِي رَجَبْ فَخَلَّفَتْنِي بِنِزَاعٍ وَهَرَبْأَخْلَفَتِ الْعَهْدَ وَلَطَّتْ بِالذَّنَبْ وَهُنَّ شَرُّ غَالِبٍ لِمَنْ غَلَبْقَالَ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ وَهُنَّ شَرُّ غَالِبٍ لِمَنْ غَلَبْ  

" أَتَيْتُ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ:

يَا مَالِكَ النَّاسِ وَدَيَّانَ العَرَبِ ... إنِّى لَقِيتُ ذَرْبَةً مِنَ الذِّرَبِ

غَدَوْتُ أَبْغيهَا الطَّعَامَ فِى رَجَبٍ ... فَخَلفَتْنِى بِنِزَاعٍ وَهَدَبٍ

أَخْلَفَت الْعَهْدَ وَلَطَّتْ بِالذَّنَبِ ... وَهُنَّ شَرُّ غَالِبٍ لِمَنْ غَلَبَ

فَجَعَلَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ يَتَمَثَّلُهَا وَيَقُولُ: وَهُنَّ شَرُّ غَالِبٍ لِمَنْ غَلَبَ".  

the Prophet ﷺ, as ˹the month of˺ Rajab entered, used to say, "O Allah, bless us in ˹the months of˺ Rajab and Shaʿbān, and bless us in ˹the month of˺ Ramaḍān." He also used to say, "The night of Friday (Thursday evening) is honorable and its day is ˹a day of˺ happiness/radiance."  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ رَجَبٌ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي رَجَبٍ وَشَعْبَانَ وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي رَمَضَانَ۔» وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: «لَيْلَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ غَرَّاءُ وَيَوْمُهَا أَزْهَرُ۔»  

the Prophet ﷺ, as ˹the month of˺ Rajab entered, used to say, "O Allah, bless us in ˹the months of˺ Rajab and Shaʿbān, and let us reach ˹the month of˺ Ramaḍān." And whenever it was the night of Friday (Thursday evening), he said: "This night is honorable and the day of Friday is a day of happiness/radiance."  

أن النبي ﷺ كانَ إِذَا دخلَ رجب قالَ: «اللهمَّ بارِكْ لَنا في رجب وشعبان، وبَلِّغنَا رمضانَ۔» وكان إِذا كانت ليلةُ الجمعة قالَ: «هذه ليلة غَرَّاءُ، ويومُ الجمعة يومٌ أزهرُ۔»  

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, as ˹the month of˺ Rajab entered, used to say, "O Allah, bless us in ˹the months of˺ Rajab and Shaʿbān, and let us reach ˹the month of˺ Ramaḍān."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ رَجَب قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا في رَجَبٍ وَشَعْبَانَ وَبَلِّغْنَا رَمَضَانَ۔»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast on certain days until it was said that he never breaks his fast, and he would break his fast on certain days until it was said that he hardly ever fasts, except for two days of the week, unless there was a fasting in the month, then he would fast those two days as well. He did not fast any month as much as he fasted in Sha'ban. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, you fast so much that it seems like you never break your fast, and you break your fast so much that it seems like you hardly ever fast. He said, "Which two days?" I said, "Monday and Thursday." He said, "Those are two days when deeds are shown (to Allah) and I love that my deeds should be shown (to Allah) when I am fasting." I said, "And I have never seen you fasting in any month as you fast in Sha'ban." He said, "That is a month between Rajab and Ramadan that people neglect, but it is a month in which deeds are raised up to the Lord of the worlds, and I love that my deeds should be raised up when I am fasting."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ الْأَيَّامَ يَسْرُدُ حَتَّى يُقَالَ لَا يُفْطِرُ وَيُفْطِرُ الْأَيَّامَ حَتَّى لَا يَكَادَ أَنْ يَصُومَ إِلَّا يَوْمَيْنِ مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِنْ كَانَ فِي صِيَامِهِ وَإِلَّا صَامَهُمَا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَصُومُ مِنْ شَهْرٍ مِنَ الشُّهُورِ مَا يَصُومُ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّكَ تَصُومُ لَا تَكَادُ أَنْ تُفْطِرَ وَتُفْطِرَ حَتَّى لَا تَكَادَ أَنْ تَصُومَ إِلَّا يَوْمَيْنِ إِنْ دَخَلَا فِي صِيَامِكَ وَإِلَّا صُمْتَهُمَا قَالَ أَيُّ يَوْمَيْنِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَوْمُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ قَالَ ذَانِكَ يَوْمَانِ تُعْرَضُ فِيهِمَا الْأَعْمَالُ عَلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَأُحِبُّ أَنْ يُعْرَضَ عَمَلِي وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَلَمْ أَرَكَ تَصُومُ مِنْ شَهْرٍ مِنَ الشُّهُورِ مَا تَصُومُ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ قَالَ ذَاكَ شَهْرٌ يَغْفُلُ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ بَيْنَ رَجَبٍ وَرَمَضَانَ وَهُوَ شَهْرٌ تُرْفَعُ فِيهِ الْأَعْمَالُ إِلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَفَأُحِبُّ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ عَمَلِي وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ  

[Machine] He came as a visitor to the Prophet ﷺ , accompanied by Nahik bin Asim bin Malik bin Muntasir. He said, "We arrived in Medina during the month of Rajab and prayed the morning prayer with him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among the people as a preacher and said, 'O people, I have withheld my voice from you for four days in order to hear you. Has anyone from his people sent him?' They said, 'Inform us of what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ says.' Then, it may be that he is being occupied by talking about himself or his companion, or perhaps being distracted by irrelevant matters. Listen! Are you alive? Listen! Are you alive? Sit down!" The people sat down, and I and my companion also sat down. When he had finished talking to others, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have a request, so please do not rush me." He said, "Ask whatever you want." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, do you have knowledge of the unseen?" He laughed and shook his head, knowing that I was seeking a particular knowledge. He said, "Your Lord has knowledge of five keys of the unseen, which no one knows except Allah." And he pointed with his hand. I said, "What are they, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Knowledge of the time of death, which he knows when the death of any of you will come, and you do not know it. And knowledge of when rain will fall, while you are waiting for it anxiously and in fear. Then he continued laughing, knowing that your relief is near." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I consider him who makes people laugh to be the best." And he knew what would happen tomorrow, and knew what you would eat tomorrow, while you do not know it. And he knew the time of the Hour." I said, "I think he mentioned what is in the wombs." Ya'qub bin Muhammad bin 'Isa al-Zuhri is weak.

[Machine] "Laaqit ibn 'Amir went to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , accompanied by his friend named Nuhayk ibn 'Asim ibn Malik ibn Muntafiq. Laaqit said, 'I left and my friend and I reached Madinah in the middle of the month of Rajab when we came to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , after he finished the Fajr prayer. He stood up to address the people and said, 'O people, I have concealed my voice from you for four days to make you hear it today. So, is there anyone whose people have sent him?' They said, 'Inform us what the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said.' He replied, 'Perhaps he is preoccupied with his own speech or the speech of his companion, or perhaps the deviators are distracting him. Indeed, I am responsible to convey. Have I conveyed?' He repeated this three times. Then he said, 'Listen and live, listen and live, sit down.' The people sat down, and my friend and I stood until he finished. When he was at ease, I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what knowledge of the unseen do you possess?' He laughed and shook his head, knowing that I sought some confidential information from him. He said, 'By the oath of Allah, your Lord, has kept five things of the unseen that only He knows.' He pointed with his hand and I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what are they?' He replied, 'The knowledge of when a person will die, which none of you know; and the knowledge of when the sperm will fertilize the ovum, which none of you know; and the knowledge of what will happen tomorrow, which none of you know, whether you will be eating tomorrow or not; and the knowledge of the unseen matters that will happen on the Day of Judgment, where the righteous will be honored and the wicked will be humiliated, and your Lord will continue to laugh, knowing that your return is close.' Laaqit said, 'I said, we will not be deprived of a Lord who laughs, which is good news. And the knowledge of the Hour.'"

[Machine] The orphan Ibn Amir went to visit the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , accompanied by his companion, known as Nihik bin Asim bin Malik bin Muntafiq. Laqit said, "I went out with my companion until we reached the city of Medina in the month of Rajab. We came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he finished the morning prayer and stood up to address the people. He said, 'O people, know that I have withheld my voice from you for four days in order to make you hear today. Is there anyone who has been sent by his people?' They said, 'We do not know what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ says.' He then said, 'Perhaps he was preoccupied with talking to himself or with the conversation of his companion, or perhaps he was distracted by misguidance. Know that I am responsible, have I conveyed the message? Listen and you shall live, listen and you shall live, listen and sit down.' The people sat down and I and my companion remained standing until he finished his speech and regained his composure. I then said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what knowledge do you have of the unseen?' He laughed and shook his head. He knew that I was seeking knowledge of the gender of my unborn child, and he said, 'Your Lord has knowledge of five things from the unseen which no one other than Him knows.' He gestured with his hand and I asked, 'What are they, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'He knows the time of death of every one of you, but you do not know it. He knows when a fetus is in the womb, but you do not know it. He knows what will happen tomorrow, but you do not know it. He knows what you will eat tomorrow, but you do not know it. And He knows what will happen on the Day of Judgment, but you do not know it. And He watches over you, worried and fearful, while your Lord continues to laugh, knowing that your return is near.' Laqit said, 'I said, we will never be deprived of a Lord who laughs, which is a good thing. And He knows what will happen on the Day of Resurrection.'"

[Machine] Layth ibn 'Amir went to meet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he had a companion with him named Nuhayk ibn 'Asim ibn Malik ibn Muntafiq. Layth said, "I went out and my companion and I traveled until we reached Madinah in the month of Rajab. We came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ just as he finished the Fajr prayer and stood up to deliver a sermon. He said, 'O people, behold, I have saved my voice for you for the past four days so that I may address you today. Are there any individuals whose people have sent them?' They replied, 'Inform us what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is saying.' He said, 'Perhaps he is distracte by his own thoughts or the talk of his companion, or perhaps he is distracte by the wandering thoughts. Behold, I am being asked if I have conveyed the message. Behold, listen carefully and you shall live. Behold, listen carefully and you shall live. Behold, sit down.' The people sat down and my companion and I remained standing until he finished his speech. When his heart and eyes were at rest, I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you know of the unseen?' He laughed by the oath of Allah, shook his head, and knew that I was seeking scientific knowledge from him. He said, 'Your Lord has knowledge of five things from the unseen that only He knows. 'He then pointed with his hand and I asked, 'What are they, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Knowledge of when a person's life will end, a knowledge that you don't possess, and knowledge of when a person's semen is in the uterus, a knowledge that you don't possess, and knowledge of what will happen tomorrow, a knowledge that you don't possess, and knowledge of the Day of Judgment, which will come to you suddenly and you will not know it, and knowledge of what will happen in the unseen future, a knowledge that you don't possess." Layth said, "I said, 'We will not be deprived of a Lord who laughs, and knowledge of the Hour.'"

[Machine] Laeet bin Aamir left and went to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , accompanied by his companion named Nahiik bin Aasim bin Maalik bin Mintafiq.

When his mind and sight returned to us, I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what knowledge of the unseen do you have?' He laughed and shook his head, and he knew that I was seeking information from him. He said, 'Your Lord has knowledge of five things from the unseen that no one knows except Him.' He gestured with his hand, so I said, 'What are they, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'The knowledge of when a person's life will end, which you do not know, the knowledge of semen when it is in the womb, which is known while you do not know, the knowledge of what will happen tomorrow, which has been known while you are not aware, and the knowledge of the unseen Day of Judgment, in which you are humble and fearful. And your Lord continues to smile, knowing that your return is near.' Laeet said, I said, 'We will not be deprived of a Lord who smiles, and [He has] good. And the knowledge of the Hour.'"

[Machine] Al-Laqit ibn 'Amir went out and encountered the Messenger of Allah ﷺ along with his companion, whose name was Nihik ibn 'Asim ibn Malik ibn Muntafiq. Laqit said, "I went out with my companion until we reached al-Madinah during the month of Rajab, after the Messenger of Allah had finished the Fajr prayer. He stood up amongst the people as a preacher and said, 'O people, be aware that I have been hiding my voice from you for the past four days, so that I may convey to you today. Is there anyone who will convey his people's message to them?' The people said, 'We know not what the Messenger of Allah will say.' Then he continued, 'It may be that he is preoccupied with his own affairs or the affairs of his companion, or the misguidance may distract him. Verily, I am accountable. Did I convey?' Listen attentively so that you may live on. Yes, listen attentively so that you may live on. Sit down.' The people sat down, and my companion and I stood until he was done with us. When he was relaxed and his vision clear, I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what knowledge do you have of the unseen?' He laughed and shook his head. He knew that I desired his discourse on this matter, so he said, 'Your Lord has knowledge of five unseen things, which no one knows except Him.' Then he gestured with his hand, and I said, 'What are they, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Knowledge of when one of you will have a wet dream, which you do not know. Knowledge of when the semen combines in the womb, which you do not know. Knowledge of what will happen tomorrow, which you do not know, whether you will eat breakfast or not. Knowledge of when the Hour will occur, which is unknown to you. And knowledge of what is in the unseen, which will cause you to be humble and fearful, while your Lord still laughs, knowing that your return is near.' Laqit said, 'I said, we shall never be deprived of a Lord who laughs is for our own good. And knowledge of the Hour.'"

Laqit said, "I went out and my friend and I traveled until we reached Madinah in the month of Rajab, when we came to the Messenger of Allah after he finished the morning prayer and stood in front of the people as a speaker.

Indeed, I am responsible, have I conveyed the message? Indeed, I am responsible, have I conveyed the message? Indeed, I am responsible, have I conveyed the message? Now sit down.' The people sat down, and both my friend and I stood until the Messenger of Allah was done talking. When he had finished, I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, do you have any knowledge of the unseen?' He smiled and shook his head and knew that I was seeking information about a fetus. He said, 'Your Lord has knowledge of five things from the unseen that nobody knows except Him.' And he pointed with his hand. I said, 'What are they, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Knowledge of when a person will die, and you do not know it. Knowledge of when the sperm will be in the womb, and you do not know it. Knowledge of what will happen tomorrow, and you do not know it, and knowledge of the unseen on the Day of Judgment when you will be gathered, and your Lord will be watching you closely and will laugh.

[Machine] Laeqit ibn Amir left and came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with his companion named Nahiq ibn Asim ibn Malik ibn Montafiq. Laeqit said: "I went out and my companion and I traveled until we reached Madinah on the 27th of Rajab. We came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he finished the morning prayer and stood up to give a sermon. He said, 'O people, know that I have been hiding my voice from you for the past four days so that I can speak to you today. Is there anyone whose people have sent him?' They said, 'We do not know what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is saying.' He replied, 'Perhaps he is preoccupied with his own talk or with the talk of his companion, or perhaps he is distracted by misguidance. Know that I have a question for you, have you conveyed [my message]?' 'Yes,' they replied. 'Then listen and live, listen and live, sit down.' So the people sat down, and my companion and I stood until he had finished speaking. Then, when his heart and sight were settled, I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what knowledge do you have of the unseen?' He laughed and shook his head and knew that I was seeking a favor from him. He said, 'Your Lord is inclined to five things of the unseen that no one knows except Him.' And he pointed with his hand. So I asked, 'What are they, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'The knowledge of the exact time of one's death, which you do not know, and the knowledge of the time when a drop of semen is inside the womb, which is known but you do not know, and the knowledge of what will happen tomorrow, which is known, but you do not know if you will be alive or not, and the knowledge of the unseen of that Day [of Judgment], which is mighty and concerning which you will feel awe. And your Lord laughs knowing that your return is soon.' Laeqit said, 'I said, "We will not be without a Lord who laughs, which is good." And the knowledge of the Hour.'  

أَنَّ لَقِيطَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ خَرَجَ وَافِدًا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ صَاحِبٌ لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ نَهِيكُ بْنُ عَاصِمِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْمُنْتَفِقِ قَالَ لَقِيطٌ خَرَجَ فَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبِي حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ لِانْسِلَاخِ رَجَبٍ فَأَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ فَقَامَ فِي النَّاسِ خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَلَا إِنِّي قَدْ خَبَّأْتُ لَكُمْ صَوْتِي مُنْذُ أَرْبَعَةِ أَيَّامٍ لِأَسْمَعَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ أَلَا فَهَلْ مِنِ امْرِئٍ بَعَثَهُ قَوْمُهُ؟» فَقَالُوا أَعُلِمَ لَنَا مَا يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ «أَلَا ثُمَّ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يُلْهِيَهُ حَدِيثُ نَفْسِهِ أَوْ حَدِيثُ صَاحِبٍ لَهُ أَوْ يُلْهِيَهُ الضُّلَّالُ أَلَا إِنِّي مَسْؤُولٌ هَلْ بَلَّغَتُ؟ أَلَا فَاسْمَعُوا تَعِيشُوا أَلَا فَاسْمَعُوا تَعِيشُوا أَلَا اجْلِسُوا» قَالَ فَجَلَسَ النَّاسُ وَقُمْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبِي حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ لَنَا فُؤَادُهُ وَبَصَرُهُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا عِنْدَكَ مِنْ عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ؟ فَضَحِكَ لَعَمْرِ اللهِ وَهَزَّ رَأْسَهُ وَعَلِمَ أَنِّي أَبْتَغِي سَقْطَهُ فَقَالَ «ضَنَّ رَبُّكَ بِخَمْسٍ مِنَ الْغَيْبِ لَا يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلَّا هُوَ» وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ فَقُلْتُ مَا هُنَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «عِلْمُ الْمَنِيَّةِ مَتَى مَنِيَّةُ أَحَدِكُمْ وَلَا تَعْلَمُونَهُ وَعِلْمُ الْمَنِيِّ حِينَ يَكُونُ فِي الرَّحِمِ قَدْ عَلِمَ وَلَا تَعْلَمُونَهُ وَعِلْمُ مَا فِي غَدٍ قَدْ عَلِمَ مَا أَنْتَ طَاعِمٌ غَدًا وَلَا تَعْلَمُهُ وَعِلْمُ يَوْمِ الْغَيْبِ يُشْرِفُ عَلَيْكُمْ آزِلِينَ مُشْفِقِينَ وَيَظَلُّ رَبُّكَ يَضْحَكُ قَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ عَوْدَتَكُمْ قَرِيبٌ» قَالَ لَقِيطٌ قُلْتُ لَنْ نُعْدَمَ مِنْ رَبٍّ يَضْحَكُ خَيْرًا «وَعِلْمُ يَوْمِ السَّاعَةِ»
