Volume 5b

5.378:
Narrated Khabbab bin Al−Art: We migrated in the company of
Allah's Apostle, seeking Allah's Pleasure. So our reward
became due and sure with Allah. Some of us have been dead
without enjoying anything of their rewards (here), and one of
them was Mus`ab bin `Umar who was martyred on the day of the
battle of Uhud, and did not leave anything except a Namira
(i.e. a sheet in which he was shrouded). If we covered his
head with it, his feet became naked, and if we covered his
feet with it, his head became naked. So the Prophet said to
us, "Cover his head with it and put some Idhkhir (i.e. a kind
of grass) over his feet or throw Idhkhir over his feet." But
some amongst us have got the fruits of their labor ripened,
and they are collecting them. Narrated Anas: His uncle (Anas
bin An−Nadr) was absent from the battle of Badr and he said,
"I was absent from the first battle of the Prophet (i.e. Badr
battle), and if Allah should let me participate in (a battle)
with the Prophet, Allah will see how strongly I will fight."
So he encountered the day of Uhud battle. The Muslims fled and
he said, "O Allah ! I appeal to You to excuse me for what
these people (i.e. the Muslims) have done, and I am clear from
what the pagans have done." Then he went forward with his
sword and met Sa`d bin Mu`adh (fleeing), and asked him, "Where
are you going, O Sa`d? I detect a smell of Paradise before
Uhud." Then he proceeded on and was martyred. No−body was able
to recognize him till his sister recognized him by a mole on
his body or by the tips of his fingers. He had over 80 wounds
caused by stabbing, striking or shooting with arrows.
5.379:
Narrated Zaid bin Thabit: When we wrote the Holy Qur'an, I
missed one of the Verses of Surat−al−Ahzab which I used to
hear Allah's Apostle reciting. Then we searched for it and
found it with Khuza`ima bin Thabit Al−Ansari. The Verse was:−−
'Among the Believers are men Who have been true to Their
Covenant with Allah, Of them, some have fulfilled Their
obligations to Allah (i.e. they have been Killed in Allah's
Cause), And some of them are (still) waiting" (3
3.23) So we wrote this in its place in the Qur'an.
5.380:
Narrated Zaid bin Thabit: When the Prophet set out for (the
battle of) Uhud, some of those who had gone out with him,
returned. The companions of the Prophet were divided into two
groups. One group said, "We will fight them (i.e. the enemy),"
and the other group said, "We will not fight them." So there
came the Divine Revelation:−− '(O Muslims!) Then what is the
matter within you that you are divided. Into two parties about
the hypocrites? Allah has cast them back (to disbelief)
Because of what they have earned.' ( 4.88) On that, the
Prophet said, "That is Taiba (i.e. the city of Medina) which
clears one from one's sins as the fire expels the impurities
of silver."
5.381:
Narrated Jabir:
This Verse: "When two of your parties almost Decided to fall
away..." was revealed in our connection, i.e. Bani Salama and
Bani Haritha and I would not have liked that, if it was not
revealed, for Allah said:−− But Allah was their Protector.....
(3.122)
5.382:
Narrated Jabir:
"Allah's Apostle said to me, "Have you got married O Jabir?" I
replied, "Yes." He asked "What, a virgin or a matron?" I
replied, "Not a virgin but a matron." He said, "Why did you
not marry a young girl who would have fondled with you?" I
replied, "O Allah's Apostle! My father was martyred on the day
of Uhud and left nine (orphan) daughters who are my nine
sisters; so I disliked to have another young girl of their
age, but (I sought) an (elderly) woman who could comb their
hair and look after them." The Prophet said, "You have done
the right thing."
5.383:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: That his father was martyred on
the day of the battle of Uhud and was in debt and left six
(orphan) daughters. Jabir, added, "When the season of plucking
the dates came, I went to Allah's Apostle and said, "You know
that my father was martyred on the day of Uhud, and he was
heavily in debt, and I would like that the creditors should
see you." The Prophet said, "Go and pile every kind of dates
apart." I did so and called him (i.e. the Prophet ). When the
creditors saw him, they started claiming their debts from me
then in such a harsh manner (as they had never done before).
So when he saw their attitude, he went round the biggest heap
of dates thrice, and then sat over it and said, 'O Jabir),
call your companions (i.e. the creditors).' Then he kept on
measuring (and giving) to the creditors (their due) till Allah
paid all the debt of my father. I would have been satisfied to
retain nothing of those dates for my sisters after Allah had
paid the debts of my father. But Allah saved all the heaps (of
dates), so that when I looked at the heap where the Prophet
had been sitting, it seemed as if a single date had not been
taken away thereof."
5.384:
Narrated Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas: I saw Allah's Apostle on the day
of the battle of Uhud accompanied by two men fighting on his
behalf. They were dressed in white and were fighting as
bravely as possible. I had never seen them before, nor did I
see them later on.
5.385:
Narrated Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas: The Prophet took out a quiver
(of arrows) for me on the day of Uhud and said, "Throw
(arrows); let my father and mother be sacrificed for you."
5.386:
Narrated Sa`d:
Allah's Apostle mentioned both his father and mother for me on
the day of the battle of Uhud.
5.387:
Narrated Ibn Al Musaiyab: Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas said, "Allah's
Apostle mentioned both his father and mother for me on the day
of the battle of Uhud." He meant when the Prophet said (to
Sa`d) while the latter was fighting. "Let my father and mother
be sacrificed for you!"
5.388:
Narrated `Ali:
I have never heard the Prophet mentioning both his father and
mother for anybody other than Sa`d. 5.389:
Narrated `Ali:
I have never heard the Prophet mentioning his father and
mother for anybody other than Sa`d bin Malik. I heard him
saying on the day of Uhud, "O Sa`d throw (arrows)! Let my
father and mother be sacrificed for you !"
5.390:
Narrated Mu'tamir's father: `Uthman said that on the day of
the battle of Uhud, none remained with the Prophet but Talha
and Sa`d.
5.391:
Narrated As−Saib bin Yazid: I have been in the company of
`AbdurRahman bin `Auf, Talha bin 'Ubaidullah, Al−Miqdad and
Sa`d, and I heard none of them narrating anything from the
Prophet excepting the fact that I heard Talha narrating about
the day of Uhud (battle) .
5.392:
Narrated Qais:
I saw Talha's paralyzed hand with which he had protected the
Prophet on the day of Uhud.
5.393:
Narrated Anas:
When it was the day of Uhud, the people left the Prophet while
Abu Talha was in front of the Prophet shielding him with his
leather shield. Abu Talha was a skillful archer who used to
shoot violently. He broke two or three arrow bows on that day.
If a man carrying a quiver full of arrows passed by, the
Prophet would say (to him), put (scatter) its contents for Abu
Talha." The Prophet would raise his head to look at the enemy,
whereupon Abu Talha would say, "Let my father and mother be
sacrificed for you ! Do not raise your head, lest an arrow of
the enemy should hit you. (Let) my neck (be struck) rather
than your neck." I saw `Aisha, the daughter of Abu Bakr, and
Um Sulaim rolling up their dresses so that I saw their
leg−bangles while they were carrying water skins on their
backs and emptying them in the mouths of the (wounded) people.
They would return to refill them and again empty them in the
mouths of the (wounded) people. The sword fell from Abu
Talha's hand twice or thrice (on that day).
5.394:
Narrated `Aisha:
When it was the day of Uhud, the pagans were defeated. Then
Satan, Allah's Curse be upon him, cried loudly, "O Allah's
Worshippers, beware of what is behind!" On that, the front
files of the (Muslim) forces turned their backs and started
fighting with the back files. Hudhaifa looked, and on seeing
his father Al−Yaman, he shouted, "O Allah's Worshippers, my
father, my father!" But by Allah, they did not stop till they
killed him. Hudhaifa said, "May Allah forgive you." (The
sub−narrator, `Urwa, said, "By Allah, Hudhaifa continued
asking Allah's Forgiveness for the killers of his father till
he departed to Allah (i.e. died).")
5.395:
Narrated `Uthman bin Mauhab: A man came to perform the Hajj to
(Allah's) House. Seeing some people sitting, he said, "Who are
these sitting people?" Somebody said, "They are the people of
Quraish." He said, "Who is the old man?" They said, "Ibn
`Umar." He went to him and said, "I want to ask you about
something; will you tell me about it? I ask you with the
respect due to the sanctity of this (Sacred) House, do you
know that `Uthman bin `Affan fled on the day of Uhud?" Ibn
`Umar said, "Yes." He said, "Do you know that he (i.e.
`Uthman) was absent from the Badr (battle) and did not join
it?" Ibn `Umar said, "Yes." He said, "Do you know that he
failed to be present at the Ridwan Pledge of allegiance (i.e.
Pledge of allegiance at Hudaibiya) and did not witness it?"
Ibn `Umar replied, "Yes," He then said, "Allahu−Akbar!" Ibn
`Umar said, "Come along; I will inform you and explain to you
what you have asked. As for the flight (of `Uthman) on the day
of Uhud, I testify that Allah forgave him. As regards his
absence from the Badr (battle), he was married to the daughter
of Allah's Apostle and she was ill, so the Prophet said to
him, 'You will have such reward as a man who has fought the
Badr battle will get, and will also have the same share of the
booty.' As for his absence from the Ridwan Pledge of
allegiance if there had been anybody more respected by the
Meccans than `Uthman bin `Affan, the Prophet would surely have
sent that man instead of `Uthman. So the Prophet sent him
(i.e. `Uthman to Mecca) and the Ridwan Pledge of allegiance
took place after `Uthman had gone to Mecca. The Prophet raised
his right hand saying. 'This is the hand of `Uthman,' and
clapped it over his other hand and said, "This is for
`Uthman.'" Ibn `Umar then said (to the man), "Go now, after
taking this information."
5.396:
Narrated Al−Bara' bin `Azib: The Prophet appointed `Abdullah
bin Jubair as the commander of the cavalry archers on the day
of the battle of Uhud. Then they returned defeated, and that
what is referred to by Allah's Statement:−− "And the Apostle
(Muhammad) in your rear was calling you." (3.153)
5.397:
Narrated Salim's father: That he heard Allah's Apostle, when
raising his head from bowing of the first rak`a of the morning
prayer, saying, "O Allah! Curse so−and−so and so−and−so" after
he had said, "Allah hears him who sends his praises to Him.
Our Lord, all the Praises are for you!" So Allah revealed:−−
"Not for you (O Muhammad! )......(till the end of Verse) they
are indeed wrong−doers." (3.128) Salim bin `Abdullah said'
"Allah's Apostle used to invoke evil upon Safwan bin Umaiya,
Suhail bin `Amr and Al−Harith bin Hisham. So the Verse was
revealed:−− "Not for you (O Muhammad!)......(till the end of
Verse) For they are indeed wrong−doers." (3.128)
5.398:
Narrated Tha`laba bin Abi Malik: `Umar bin Al−Khattab
distributed woolen clothes amongst some women of Medina, and a
nice woolen garment remained. Some of those who were sitting
with him, said, "O chief of the believers! Give it to the
daughter of Allah's Apostle who is with you," and by that,
they meant Um Kulthum, the daughter of `Ali. `Umar said, "Um
Salit has got more right than she." Um Saht was amongst those
Ansari women who had given the pledge of allegiance to Allah's
Apostle . `Umar added, "She (i.e. Um Salit) used to carry the
filled water skins for us on the day of the battle of Uhud."
5.399:
Narrated Jafar bin `Amr bin Umaiya: I went out with
'Ubaidullah bin `Adi Al−Khaiyar. When we reached Hims (i.e. a
town in Syria), 'Ubaidullah bin `Adi said (to me), "Would you
like to see Wahshi so that we may ask him about the killing of
Hamza?" I replied, "Yes." Wahshi used to live in Hims. We
enquired about him and somebody said to us, "He is that in the
shade of his palace, as if he were a full water skin." So we
went up to him, and when we were at a short distance from him,
we greeted him and he greeted us in return. 'Ubaidullah was
wearing his turban and Wahshi could not see except his eyes
and feet. 'Ubaidullah said, "O Wahshi! Do you know me?" Wahshi
looked at him and then said, "No, by Allah! But I know that
`Adi bin Al−Khiyar married a woman called Um Qital, the
daughter of Abu Al−Is, and she delivered a boy for him at
Mecca, and I looked for a wet nurse for that child. (Once) I
carried that child along with his mother and then I handed him
over to her, and your feet resemble that child's feet." Then
'Ubaidullah uncovered his face and said (to Wahshi), "Will you
tell us (the story of) the killing of Hamza?" Wahshi replied
"Yes, Hamza killed Tuaima bin `Adi bin Al−Khaiyar at Badr
(battle) so my master, Jubair bin Mut`im said to me, 'If you
kill Hamza in revenge for my uncle, then you will be set
free." When the people set out (for the battle of Uhud) in the
year of 'Ainain ..'Ainain is a mountain near the mountain of
Uhud, and between it and Uhud there is a valley.. I went out
with the people for the battle. When the army aligned for the
fight, Siba' came out and said, 'Is there any (Muslim) to
accept my challenge to a duel?' Hamza bin `Abdul Muttalib came
out and said, 'O Siba'. O Ibn Um Anmar, the one who
circumcises other ladies! Do you challenge Allah and His
Apostle?' Then Hamza attacked and killed him, causing him to
be non−extant like the bygone yesterday. I hid myself under a
rock, and when he (i.e. Hamza) came near me, I threw my spear
at him, driving it into his umbilicus so that it came out
through his buttocks, causing him to die. When all the people
returned to Mecca, I too returned with them. I stayed in
(Mecca) till Islam spread in it (i.e. Mecca). Then I left for
Taif, and when the people (of Taif) sent their messengers to
Allah's Apostle, I was told that the Prophet did not harm the
messengers; So I too went out with them till I reached Allah's
Apostle. When he saw me, he said, 'Are you Wahshi?' I said,
'Yes.' He said, 'Was it you who killed Hamza?' I replied,
'What happened is what you have been told of.' He said, 'Can
you hide your face from me?' So I went out when Allah's
Apostle died, and Musailamah Al−Kadhdhab appeared (claiming to
be a prophet). I said, 'I will go out to Musailamah so that I
may kill him, and make amends for killing Hamza. So I went out
with the people (to fight Musailamah and his followers) and
then famous events took place concerning that battle. Suddenly
I saw a man (i.e. Musailamah) standing near a gap in a wall.
He looked like an ash−colored camel and his hair was
dishevelled. So I threw my spear at him, driving it into his
chest in between his breasts till it passed out through his
shoulders, and then an Ansari man attacked him and struck him
on the head with a sword. `Abdullah bin `Umar said, 'A slave
girl on the roof of a house said: Alas! The chief of the
believers (i.e. Musailamah) has been killed by a black slave."
5.400:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle (pointing to his broken
canine tooth) said, "Allah's Wrath has become severe on the
people who harmed His Prophet. Allah's Wrath has become severe
on the man who is killed by the Apostle of Allah in Allah's
Cause."
5.401:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Allah's Wrath became severe on him whom
the Prophet had killed in Allah's Cause. Allah's Wrath became
severe on the people who caused the face of Allah's Prophet to
bleed.
5.402:
Narrated Abu Hazim: That he heard Sahl bin Sa`d being asked
about the wounds of Allah's Apostle saying, "By Allah, I know
who washed the wounds of Allah's Apostle and who poured water
(for washing them), and with what he was treated." Sahl added,
"Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Apostle used to wash the
wounds, and `Ali bin Abi Talib used to pour water from a
shield. When Fatima saw that the water aggravated the
bleeding, she took a piece of a mat, burnt it, and inserted
its ashes into the wound so that the blood was congealed (and
bleeding stopped). His canine tooth got broken on that day,
and face was wounded, and his helmet was broken on his head."
5.403:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Allah's Wrath gets severe on a person
killed by a prophet, and Allah's Wrath became severe on him
who had caused the face of Allah's Apostle to bleed.
5.404:
Narrated `Aisha:
Regarding the Holy Verse: "Those who responded (To the call)
of Allah And the Apostle (Muhammad), After being wounded, For
those of them Who did good deeds And refrained from wrong,
there is a great reward." (3.172) She said to `Urwa, "O my
nephew! Your father, Az−Zubair and Abu Bakr were amongst them
(i.e. those who responded to the call of Allah and the Apostle
on the day (of the battle of Uhud). When Allah's Apostle,
suffered what he suffered on the day of Uhud and the pagans
left, the Prophet was afraid that they might return. So he
said, 'Who will go on their (i.e. pagans') track?' He then
selected seventy men from amongst them (for this purpose)."
(The sub−narrator added, "Abu Bakr and Az−Zubair were amongst
them.")
5.405:
Narrated Qatada:
We do not know of any tribe amongst the 'Arab tribes who lost
more martyrs than Al−Ansar, and they will have superiority on
the Day of Resurrection. Anas bin Malik told us that seventy
from the Ansar were martyred on the day of Uhud, and seventy
on the day (of the battle of) Bir Ma'una, and seventy on the
day of Al−Yamama. Anas added, "The battle of Bir Ma'una took
place during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle and the battle of
Al−Yamama, during the caliphate of Abu Bakr, and it was the
day when Musailamah Al−Kadhdhab was killed."
5.406:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: Allah's Apostle used to shroud
two martyrs of Uhud in one sheet and then say, "Which of them
knew Qur'an more?" When one of the two was pointed out, he
would put him first in the grave. Then he said, "I will be a
witness for them on the Day of Resurrection." He ordered them
to be buried with their blood (on their bodies). Neither was
the funeral prayer offered for them, nor were they washed.
Jabir added, "When my father was martyred, I started weeping
and uncovering his face. The companions of the Prophet stopped
me from doing so but the Prophet did not stop me. Then the
Prophet said, '(O Jabir.) don't weep over him, for the angels
kept on covering him with their wings till his body was
carried away (for burial).
5.407:
Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet said, "I saw in a dream that I
moved a sword and its blade got broken, and that symbolized
the casualties which the believers suffered on the day of
Uhud. Then I moved it again, and it became as perfect as it
had been, and that symbolized the Conquest (of Mecca) which
Allah helped us to achieve, and the union of all the
believers. I (also) saw cows in the dream, and what Allah does
is always beneficial. Those cows appeared to symbolize the
faithful believers (who were martyred) on the day of Uhud."
5.408:
Narrated Khabbab:
We migrated with the Prophet for Allah's Cause, so our reward
became due with Allah. Some of us passed away (i.e. died)
without enjoying anything from their reward, and one of them
was Mus`ab bin `Umar who was killed (i.e. martyred) on the day
of Uhud. He did not leave behind except a sheet of striped
woolen cloth. If we covered his head with it, his feet became
naked, and if we covered his feet with it, his head became
naked. The Prophet said to us, "Cover his head with it and put
Idhkhir (i.e. a kind of grass) over his feet," or said, "Put
some Idhkhir over his feet." But some of us have got their
fruits ripened, and they are collecting them.
5.409:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "This is a mountain that loves us and is
loved by us."
5.410:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: When the mountain of Uhud appeared
before Allah's Apostle he said, "This IS a mountain that loves
us and is loved by us. O, Allah! Abraham made Mecca a
Sanctuary, and I have made Medina (i.e. the area between its
two mountains) a Sanctuary as well."
5.411:
Narrated `Uqba:
One day the Prophet went out and offered the (funeral) prayer
for the people (i.e. martyrs) of Uhud as he used to offer a
funeral prayer for any dead person, and then (after returning)
he ascended the pulpit and said, "I am your predecessor before
you, and I am a witness upon you, and I am looking at my Tank
just now, and I have been given the keys of the treasures of
the world (or the keys of the world). By Allah, I am not
afraid that you will worship others besides Allah after me,
but I am afraid that you will compete with each other for (the
pleasures of) this world."
5.412:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet sent a Sariya of spies and
appointed `Asim bin Thabit, the grandfather of `Asim bin `Umar
bin Al−Khattab, as their leader. So they set out, and when
they reached (a place) between 'Usfan and Mecca, they were
mentioned to one of the branch tribes of Bani Hudhail called
Lihyan. So, about one−hundred archers followed their traces
till they (i.e. the archers) came to a journey station where
they (i.e. `Asim and his companions) had encamped and found
stones of dates they had brought as journey food from Medina.
The archers said, "These are the dates of Medina," and
followed their traces till they took them over. When `Asim and
his companions were not able to go ahead, they went up a high
place, and their pursuers encircled them and said, "You have a
covenant and a promise that if you come down to us, we will
not kill anyone of you." `Asim said, "As for me, I will never
come down on the security of an infidel. O Allah! Inform Your
Prophet about us." So they fought with them till they killed
`Asim along with seven of his companions with arrows, and
there remained Khubaib, Zaid and another man to whom they gave
a promise and a covenant. So when the infidels gave them the
covenant and promise, they came down. When they captured them,
they opened the strings of their arrow bows and tied them with
it. The third man who was with them said, "This is the first
breach in the covenant," and refused to accompany them. They
dragged him and tried to make him accompany them, but he
refused, and they killed him. Then they proceeded on taking
Khubaib and Zaid till they sold them in Mecca. The sons of
Al−Harith bin `Amr bin Naufal bought Khubaib. It was Khubaib
who had killed Al−Harith bin `Amr on the day of Badr. Khubaib
stayed with them for a while as a captive till they decided
unanimously to kill him. (At that time) Khubaib borrowed a
razor from one of the daughters of Al−Harith to shave his
pubic hair. She gave it to him. She said later on, "I was
heedless of a little baby of mine, who moved towards Khubaib,
and when it reached him, he put it on his thigh. When I saw
it, I got scared so much that Khubaib noticed my distress
while he was carrying the razor in his hand. He said 'Are you
afraid that I will kill it? Allah willing, I will never do
that,' " Later on she used to say, "I have never seen a
captive better than Khubaib Once I saw him eating from a bunch
of grapes although at that time no fruits were available at
Mecca, and he was fettered with iron chains, and in fact, it
was nothing but food bestowed upon him by Allah." So they took
him out of the Sanctuary (of Mecca) to kill him. He said,
"Allow me to offer a two−rak`at prayer." Then he went to them
and said, "Had I not been afraid that you would think I was
afraid of death, I would have prayed for a longer time." So it
was Khubaib who first set the tradition of praying two rak`at
before being executed. He then said, "O Allah! Count them one
by one," and added, 'When I am being martyred as a Muslim, I
do not care in what way I receive my death for Allah's Sake,
because this death is in Allah's Cause. If He wishes, He will
bless the cut limbs." Then `Uqba bin Al−Harith got up and
martyred him. The narrator added: The Quraish (infidels) sent
some people to `Asim in order to bring a part of his body so
that his death might be known for certain, for `Asim had
killed one of their chiefs on the day of Badr. But Allah sent
a cloud of wasps which protected his body from their
messengers who could not harm his body consequently.
5.413:
Narrated Jabir:
The person who killed Khubaib was Abu Sarua (i.e. `Uqba bin
Al−Harith).
5.414:
Narrated `Abdul `Aziz: Anas said, "The Prophet sent seventy
men, called Al−Qurra 'for some purpose. The two groups of Bani
Sulaim called Ri'l and Dhakwan, appeared to them near a well
called Bir Ma'una. The people (i.e. Al−Qurra) said, 'By Allah,
we have not come to harm you, but we are passing by you on our
way to do something for the Prophet.' But (the infidels)
killed them. The Prophet therefore invoked evil upon them for
a month during the morning prayer. That was the beginning of
Al Qunut and we used not to say Qunut before that." A man
asked Anas about Al−Qunut, "Is it to be said after the Bowing
(in the prayer) or after finishing the Recitation (i.e. before
Bowing)?" Anas replied, "No, but (it is to be said) after
finishing the Recitation."
5.415:
Narrated Anas:
Allah's Apostle said Al−Qunut for one month after the posture
of Bowing, invoking evil upon some 'Arab tribes.
5.416:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: (The tribes of) Ril, Dhakwan, 'Usaiya
and Bani Lihyan asked Allah's Apostle to provide them with
some men to support them against their enemy. He therefore
provided them with seventy men from the Ansar whom we used to
call Al−Qurra' in their lifetime. They used to collect wood by
daytime and pray at night. When they were at the well of
Ma'una, the infidels killed them by betraying them. When this
news reached the Prophet , he said Al−Qunut for one month In
the morning prayer, invoking evil upon some of the 'Arab
tribes, upon Ril, Dhakwan, 'Usaiya and Bani Libyan. We used to
read a verse of the Qur'an revealed in their connection, but
later the verse was cancelled. It was: "convey to our people
on our behalf the information that we have met our Lord, and
He is pleased with us, and has made us pleased." (Anas bin
Malik added:) Allah's Prophet said Qunut for one month in the
morning prayer, invoking evil upon some of the 'Arab tribes
(namely), Ril, Dhakwan, Usaiya, and Bani Libyan. (Anas added:)
Those seventy Ansari men were killed at the well of Mauna.
5.417:
Narrated Anas:
That the Prophet sent his uncle, the brother of Um Sulaim at
the head of seventy riders. The chief of the pagans, 'Amir bin
at−Tufail proposed three suggestions (to the Prophet ) saying,
"Choose one of three alternatives: (1) that the bedouins will
be under your command and the townspeople will be under my
command; (2) or that I will be your successor, (3) or
otherwise I will attack you with two thousand from Bani
Ghatafan." But 'Amir was infected with plague in the House of
Um so−and−so. He said, "Shall I stay in the house of a lady
from the family of so−and−so after having a (swelled) gland
like that she−camel? Get me my horse." So he died on the back
of his horse. Then Haram, the brother of Um Sulaim and a lame
man along with another man from so−and−so (tribe) went towards
the pagans (i.e. the tribe of 'Amir). Haram said (to his
companions), "Stay near to me, for I will go to them. If they
(i.e. infidels) should give me protection, you will be near to
me, and if they should kill me, then you should go back to
your companions. Then Haram went to them and said, "Will you
give me protection so as to convey the message of Allah's
Apostle ?" So, he started talking to them' but they signalled
to a man (to kill him) and he went behind him and stabbed him
(with a spear). He (i.e. Haram) said, "Allahu Akbar! I have
succeeded, by the Lord of the Ka`ba!" The companion of Haram
was pursued by the infidels, and then they (i.e. Haram's
companions) were all killed except the lame man who was at the
top of a mountain. Then Allah revealed to us a verse that was
among the cancelled ones later on. It was: 'We have met our
Lord and He is pleased with us and has made us pleased.'
(After this event) the Prophet invoked evil on the infidels
every morning for 30 days. He invoked evil upon the (tribes
of) Ril, Dhakwan, Bani Lihyan and Usaiya who disobeyed Allah
and His Apostle.
5.418:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: That when Haram bin Milhan, his uncle
was stabbed on the day of Bir Ma'una he sprinkled his blood
over his face and his head this way and then said, "I have
succeeded, by the Lord of the Ka`ba.'
5.419:
Narrated `Aisha:
Abu Bakr asked the Prophet to allow him to go out (of Mecca)
when he was greatly annoyed (by the infidels). But the Prophet
said to him, ''Wait." Abu Bakr said, O Allah's Apostle! Do you
hope that you will be allowed (to migrate)?" Allah's Apostle
replied, "I hope so." So Abu Bakr waited for him till one day
Allah's Apostle came at noon time and addressed him saying
"Let whoever is present with you, now leave you." Abu Bakr
said, "None is present but my two daughters." The Prophet
said, "Have you noticed that I have been allowed to go out (to
migrate)?" Abu Bakr said, "O Allah's Apostle, I would like to
accompany you." The Prophet said, "You will accompany me." Abu
Bakr said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have got two she−camels which
I had prepared and kept ready for (our) going out." So he gave
one of the two (she−camels) to the Prophet and it was Al−Jad`a
. They both rode and proceeded till they reached the Cave at
the mountain of Thaur where they hid themselves. Amir bin
Fuhaira was the slave of `Abdullah bin at−Tufail bin Sakhbara
`Aisha's brother from her mother's side. Abu Bakr had a milch
she−camel. Amir used to go with it (i.e. the milch she−camel)
in the afternoon and come back to them before noon by setting
out towards them in the early morning when it was still dark
and then he would take it to the pasture so that none of the
shepherds would be aware of his job. When the Prophet (and Abu
Bakr) went away (from the Cave), he (i.e. 'Amir) too went
along with them and they both used to make him ride at the
back of their camels in turns till they reached Medina. 'Amir
bin Fuhaira was martyred on the day of Bir Ma'una. Narrated
`Urwa: When those (Muslims) at Bir Ma'una were martyred and
`Amr bin Umaiya Ad−Damri was taken prisoner, 'Amir bin
at−Tufail, pointing at a killed person, asked `Amr, "Who is
this?" `Amr bin Umaiya said to him, "He is 'Amir bin Fuhaira."
'Amir bin at−Tufail said, "I saw him lifted to the sky after
he was killed till I saw the sky between him and the earth,
and then he was brought down upon the earth. Then the news of
the killed Muslims reached the Prophet and he announced the
news of their death saying, "Your companions (of Bir Ma'una)
have been killed, and they have asked their Lord saying, 'O
our Lord! Inform our brothers about us as we are pleased with
You and You are pleased with us." So Allah informed them (i.e.
the Prophet and his companions) about them (i.e. martyrs of
Bir Mauna). On that day, `Urwa bin Asma bin As−Salt who was
one of them, was killed, and `Urwa (bin Az−Zubair) was named
after `Urwa bin Asma and Mundhir (bin AzZubair) was named
after Mundhir bin `Amr (who had also been martyred on that
day).
5.420:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said Al−Qunut after Bowing (i.e. Ar−Ruku') for one
month, invoking evil upon (the tribes of) Ril and Dhakwan. He
used to say, "Usaiya disobeyed Allah and His Apostle."
5.421:
Narrated Anas bin Malik : The Prophet invoked evil upon those
(people) who killed his companions at Bir Mauna for 30 days
(in the morning prayer). He invoked evil upon (tribes of) Ril,
Lihyan and Usaiya who disobeyed Allah and His Apostle. Allah
revealed a Qur'anic Verse to His Prophet regarding those who
had been killed, i.e. the Muslims killed at Bir Ma'una, and we
recited the Verse till later it was cancelled. (The Verse
was:) 'Inform our people that we have met our Lord, and He is
pleased with us, and we are pleased with Him."
5.422:
Narrated `Asim Al−Ahwal: I asked Anas bin Malik regarding
Al−Qunut during the prayer. Anas replied, "Yes (Al−Qunut was
said by the Prophet in the prayer)." I said, "Is it before
Bowing or after Bowing?" Anas replied, "(It was said) before
(Bowing)." I said, "So−and−so informed me that you told him
that it was said after Bowing." Anas replied, "He was
mistaken, for Allah's Apostle said Al−Qunut after Bowing for
one month. The Prophet had sent some people called Al−Qurra
who were seventy in number, to some pagan people who had
concluded a peace treaty with Allah's Apostle . But those who
had concluded the treaty with Allah's Apostle violated the
treaty (and martyred all the seventy men). So Allah's Apostle
said Al−Qunut after Bowing (in the prayer) for one month,
invoking evil upon them.
5.423:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: That the Prophet inspected him on the day
of Uhud while he was fourteen years old, and the Prophet did
not allow him to take part in the battle. He was inspected
again by the Prophet on the day of Al−Khandaq (i.e. battle of
the Trench) while he was fifteen years old, and the Prophet
allowed him to take Part in the battle. 5.424:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: We were with Allah's Apostle in the
Trench, and some were digging the trench while we were
carrying the earth on our shoulders. Allah's Apostle said, 'O
Allah! There is no life except the life of the Hereafter, so
please forgive the Emigrants and the Ansar."
5.425:
Narrated Anas:
Allah's Apostle went out towards the Khandaq (i.e. Trench) and
saw the Emigrants and the Ansar digging the trench in the cold
morning. They had no slaves to do that (work) for them. When
the Prophet saw their hardship and hunger, he said, 'O Allah!
The real life is the life of the Hereafter, so please forgive
Ansar and the Emigrants." They said in reply to him, "We are
those who have given the Pledge of allegiances to Muhammad for
to observe Jihad as long as we live."
5.426:
Narrated Anas:
Al−Muhajirun (i.e. the Emigrants) and the Ansar were digging
the trench around Medina and were carrying the earth on their
backs while saying, "We are those who have given the pledge of
allegiance to Muhammad for Islam as long as we live." The
Prophet said in reply to their saying, "O Allah! There is no
goodness except the goodness of the Hereafter; so please grant
Your Blessing to the Ansar and the Emigrants." The people used
to bring a handful of barley, and a meal used to be prepared
thereof by cooking it with a cooking material (i.e. oil, fat
and butter having a change in color and smell) and it used to
be presented to the people (i.e. workers) who were hungry, and
it used to stick to their throats and had a nasty smell.
5.427:
Narrated Jabir:
We were digging (the trench) on the day of (Al−Khandaq ( i.e.
Trench )) and we came across a big solid rock. We went to the
Prophet and said, "Here is a rock appearing across the
trench." He said, "I am coming down." Then he got up, and a
stone was tied to his belly for we had not eaten anything for
three days. So the Prophet took the spade and struck the big
solid rock and it became like sand. I said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Allow me to go home." (When the Prophet allowed me) I
said to my wife, "I saw the Prophet in a state that I cannot
treat lightly. Have you got something (for him to eat?" She
replied, "I have barley and a she goat." So I slaughtered the
she−kid and she ground the barley; then we put the meat in the
earthenware cooking pot. Then I came to the Prophet when the
dough had become soft and fermented and (the meat in) the pot
over the stone trivet had nearly been well−cooked, and said,
"I have got a little food prepared, so get up O Allah's
Apostle, you and one or two men along with you (for the
food)." The Prophet asked, "How much is that food?" I told him
about it. He said, "It is abundant and good. Tell your wife
not to remove the earthenware pot from the fire and not to
take out any bread from the oven till I reach there." Then he
said (to all his companions), "Get up." So the Muhajirn (i.e.
Emigrants) and the Ansar got up. When I came to my wife, I
said, "Allah's Mercy be upon you! The Prophet came along with
the Muhajirin and the Ansar and those who were present with
them." She said, "Did the Prophet ask you (how much food you
had)?" I replied, "Yes." Then the Prophet said, "Enter and do
not throng." The Prophet started cutting the bread (into
pieces) and put the cooked meat over it. He covered the
earthenware pot and the oven whenever he took something out of
them. He would give the food to his companions and take the
meat out of the pot. He went on cutting the bread and scooping
the meat (for his companions) till they all ate their fill,
and even then, some food remained. Then the Prophet said (to
my wife), "Eat and present to others as the people are struck
with hunger."
5.428:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: When the Trench was dug, I saw
the Prophet in the state of severe hunger. So I returned to my
wife and said, "Have you got anything (to eat), for I have
seen Allah's Apostle in a state of severe hunger." She brought
out for me, a bag containing one Sa of barley, and we had a
domestic she animal (i.e. a kid) which I slaughtered then, and
my wife ground the barley and she finished at the time I
finished my job (i.e. slaughtering the kid). Then I cut the
meat into pieces and put it in an earthenware (cooking) pot,
and returned to Allah's Apostle . My wife said, "Do not
disgrace me in front of Allah's Apostle and those who are with
him." So I went to him and said to him secretly, "O Allah's
Apostle! I have slaughtered a she−animal (i.e. kid) of ours,
and we have ground a Sa of barley which was with us. So please
come, you and another person along with you." The Prophet
raised his voice and said, "O people of Trench ! Jabir has
prepared a meal so let us go." Allah's Apostle said to me,
"Don't put down your earthenware meat pot (from the fireplace)
or bake your dough till I come." So I came (to my house) and
Allah's Apostle too, came, proceeding before the people. When
I came to my wife, she said, "May Allah do so−and−so to you."
I said, "I have told the Prophet of what you said." Then she
brought out to him (i.e. the Prophet the dough, and he spat in
it and invoked for Allah's Blessings in it. Then he proceeded
towards our earthenware meat−pot and spat in it and invoked
for Allah's Blessings in it. Then he said (to my wife). Call a
lady−baker to bake along with you and keep on taking out
scoops from your earthenware meat−pot, and do not put it down
from its fireplace." They were one−thousand (who took their
meals), and by Allah they all ate, and when they left the food
and went away, our earthenware pot was still bubbling (full of
meat) as if it had not decreased, and our dough was still
being baked as if nothing had been taken from it.
5.429:
Narrated `Aisha:
As regards the following Qur'anic Verse:−− "When they came on
you from above and from below you (from east and west of the
valley) and when the eyes grew wild and the hearts reached up
to the throats....." (3
3.10) That happened on the day of Al−Khandaq (i.e. Trench).
5.430:
Narrated Al−Bara:
The Prophet was carrying earth on the day of Al−Khandaq till
his `Abdomen was fully covered with dust, and he was saying,
"By Allah, without Allah we would not have been guided,
neither would we have given in charity, nor would we have
prayed. So (O Allah), please send Sakina (i.e. calmness) upon
us, and make our feet firm if we meet the enemy as the enemy
have rebelled against us, and if they intended affliction,
(i.e. want to frighten us and fight against us then we would
not flee but withstand them)." The Prophet used to raise his
voice saying, "Abaina! Abaina! (i.e. would not, we would not).
5.431:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, "I have been made
victorious by As−Saba (i.e. an easterly wind) and the Ad
nation was destroyed by Ad−Dabur (i.e. a westerly wind).
5.432:
Narrated Al−Bara:
When it was the day of Al−Ahzab (i.e. the clans) and Allah's
Apostle dug the trench, I saw him carrying earth out of the
trench till dust made the skin of his `Abdomen out of my sight
and he was a hairy man. I heard him reciting the poetic verses
composed by Ibn Rawaha while he was carrying the earth, "O
Allah! Without You we would not have been guided, nor would we
have given in charity, nor would we have prayed. So, (O
Allah), please send Sakina (i.e. calmness) upon us and make
our feet firm if we meet the enemy, as they have rebelled
against us. And if they intend affliction (i.e. want to
frighten us, and fight against us) then we would not (flee but
withstand them)." The Prophet would then prolong his voice at
the last words.
5.433:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The first day (i.e. Ghazwa) I participated
in, was the day of Al−Khandaq (i.e. Trench).
5.434:
Narrated `Ikrima bin Khalid: Ibn `Umar said, "I went to Hafsa
while water was dribbling from her twined braids. I said, 'The
condition of the people is as you see, and no authority has
been given to me.' Hafsa said, (to me), 'Go to them, and as
they (i.e. the people) are waiting for you, and I am afraid
your absence from them will produce division amongst them.' "
So Hafsa did not leave Ibn `Umar till we went to them. When
the people differed. Muawiya addressed the people saying, "'If
anybody wants to say anything in this matter of the Caliphate,
he should show up and not conceal himself, for we are more
rightful to be a Caliph than he and his father." On that,
Habib bin Masalama said (to Ibn `Umar), "Why don't you reply
to him (i.e. Muawiya)?" `Abdullah bin `Umar said, "I untied my
garment that was going round my back and legs while I was
sitting and was about to say, 'He who fought against you and
against your father for the sake of Islam, is more rightful to
be a Caliph,' but I was afraid that my statement might produce
differences amongst the people and cause bloodshed, and my
statement might be interpreted not as I intended. (So I kept
quiet) remembering what Allah has prepared in the Gardens of
Paradise (for those who are patient and prefer the Hereafter
to this worldly life)." Habib said, "You did what kept you
safe and secure (i.e. you were wise in doing so).
5.435:
Narrated Sulaiman bin Surd: On the day of Al−Ahzab (i.e.
clans) the Prophet said, (After this battle) we will go to
attack them(i.e. the infidels) and they will not come to
attack us."
5.436:
Narrated Sulaiman bin Surd: When the clans were driven away, I
heard the Prophet saying, "From now onwards we will go to
attack them (i.e. the infidels) and they will not come to
attack us, but we will go to them."
5.437:
Narrated `Ali:
On the day of Al−Khandaq (i.e. Trench), the Prophet said
'(Let) Allah fill their (i.e. the infidels') houses and graves
with fire just as they have prevented us from offering the
Middle Prayer (i.e. `Asr prayer) till the sun had set."
5.438:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: `Umar bin Al−Khattab came on the
day of Al−Khandaq after the sun had set and he was abusing the
infidels of Quraish saying, "O Allah's Apostle! I was unable
to offer the (`Asr) prayer till the sun was about to set." The
Prophet said, "By Allah, I have not offered this (i.e. `Asr)
prayer." So we came down along with the Prophet to Buthan
where he performed ablution for the prayer and then we
performed the ablution for it. Then he offered the `Asr prayer
after the sun had set, and after it he offered the Maghrib
prayer.
5.439:
Narrated Jabir:
On the day of Al−Ahzab (i.e. clans), Allah's Apostle said,
'Who will bring us the news of the people (i.e. the clans of
Quraish infidels)?" Az−Zubair said, "I." The Prophet again
said, "Who will bring us the news of the people?" AzZubair
said, "I." The Prophet again said, "Who will bring us the news
of the people?" Az−Zubair said, "I." The Prophet then said,
"Every prophet has his Hawari (i.e. disciple−special helper);
my disciple is Az−Zubair.
5.440:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle used to say, "None has
the right to be worshipped except Allah Alone (Who) honored
His Warriors and made His Slave victorious, and He (Alone)
defeated the (infidel) clans; so there is nothing after Him.
5.441:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi `Aufa: Allah's Apostle invoked evil
upon the clans saying, "Allah, the Revealer of the Holy Book
(i.e. the Qur'an), the Quick Taker of the accounts! Please
defeat the clans. O Allah! Defeat them and shake them."
5.442:
Narrated `Abdullah: Whenever Allah's Apostle returned from a
Ghazwa, Hajj or `Umra, he used to start (saying),
"Allahu−Akbar," thrice and then he would say, "None has the
right to be worshipped except Allah alone Who has no partners.
To Him belongs the Kingdom, all praises are for Him, and He is
able to do all things (i.e. Omnipotent). We are returning with
repentance (to Allah) worshipping, prostrating, and praising
our Lord. Allah has fulfilled His Promise, made His Slave
victorious, and He (Alone) defeated the clans (of infidels) ."
5.443:
Narrated `Aisha:
When the Prophet returned from Al−Khandaq (i.e. Trench) and
laid down his arms and took a bath, Gabriel came and said (to
the Prophet ), You have laid down your arms? By Allah, we
angels have not laid them down yet. So set out for them." The
Prophet said, "Where to go?" Gabriel said, "Towards this
side," pointing towards Banu Quraiza. So the Prophet went out
towards them.
5.444:
Narrated Anas:
As if I am just now looking at the dust rising in the street
of Banu Ghanm (in Medina) because of the marching of Gabriel's
regiment when Allah's Apostle set out to Banu Quraiza (to
attack them).
5.445:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: On the day of Al−Ahzab (i.e. Clans) the
Prophet said, "None of you Muslims) should offer the `Asr
prayer but at Banu Quraiza's place." The `Asr prayer became
due for some of them on the way. Some of those said, "We will
not offer it till we reach it, the place of Banu Quraiza,"
while some others said, "No, we will pray at this spot, for
the Prophet did not mean that for us." Later on It was
mentioned to the Prophet and he did not berate any of the two
groups.
5.446:
Narrated Anas:
Some (of the Ansar) used to present date palm trees to the
Prophet till Banu Quraiza and Banu An−Nadir were conquered
(then he returned to the people their date palms). My people
ordered me to ask the Prophet to return some or all the date
palms they had given to him, but the Prophet had given those
trees to Um Aiman. On that, Um Aiman came and put the garment
around my neck and said, "No, by Him except Whom none has the
right to be worshipped, he will not return those trees to you
as he (i.e. the Prophet ) has given them to me." The Prophet
go said (to her), "Return those trees and I will give you so
much (instead of them)." But she kept on refusing, saying,
"No, by Allah," till he gave her ten times the number of her
date palms.
5.447:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri: The people of (Banu) Quraiza
agreed to accept the verdict of Sa`d bin Mu`adh. So the
Prophet sent for Sa`d, and the latter came (riding) a donkey
and when he approached the Mosque, the Prophet said to the
Ansar, "Get up for your chief or for the best among you." Then
the Prophet said (to Sa`d)." These (i.e. Banu Quraiza) have
agreed to accept your verdict." Sa`d said, "Kill their (men)
warriors and take their offspring as captives, "On that the
Prophet said, "You have judged according to Allah's Judgment,"
or said, "according to the King's judgment." 5.448:
Narrated `Aisha:
Sa`d was wounded on the day of Khandaq (i.e. Trench) when a
man from Quraish, called Hibban bin Al−`Araqa hit him (with an
arrow). The man was Hibban bin Qais from (the tribe of) Bani
Mais bin 'Amir bin Lu'ai who shot an arrow at Sa`d's medial
arm vein (or main artery of the arm). The Prophet pitched a
tent (for Sa`d) in the Mosque so that he might be near to the
Prophet to visit. When the Prophet returned from the (battle)
of Al−Khandaq (i.e. Trench) and laid down his arms and took a
bath Gabriel came to him while he (i.e. Gabriel) was shaking
the dust off his head, and said, "You have laid down the
arms?" By Allah, I have not laid them down. Go out to them (to
attack them)." The Prophet said, "Where?" Gabriel pointed
towards Bani Quraiza. So Allah's Apostle went to them (i.e.
Banu Quraiza) (i.e. besieged them). They then surrendered to
the Prophet's judgment but he directed them to Sa`d to give
his verdict concerning them. Sa`d said, "I give my judgment
that their warriors should be killed, their women and children
should be taken as captives, and their properties
distributed." Narrated Hisham: My father informed me that
`Aisha said, "Sa`d said, "O Allah! You know that there is
nothing more beloved to me than to fight in Your Cause against
those who disbelieved Your Apostle and turned him out (of
Mecca). O Allah! I think you have put to an end the fight
between us and them (i.e. Quraish infidels). And if there
still remains any fight with the Quraish (infidels), then keep
me alive till I fight against them for Your Sake. But if you
have brought the war to an end, then let this wound burst and
cause my death thereby.' So blood gushed from the wound. There
was a tent in the Mosque belonging to Banu Ghifar who were
surprised by the blood flowing towards them . They said, 'O
people of the tent! What is this thing which is coming to us
from your side?' Behold! Blood was flowing profusely out of
Sa`d's wound. Sa`d then died because of that."
5.449:
Narrated Al−Bara:
The Prophet said to Hassan, "Abuse them (with your poems), and
Gabriel is with you (i.e, supports you)." (Through another
group of sub narrators) Al−Bara bin Azib said, "On the day of
Quraiza's (besiege), Allah's Apostle said to Hassan bin
Thabit, 'Abuse them (with your poems), and Gabriel is with you
(i.e. supports you).' "
5.450:
Narrated Abu Burda: Abu Musa said, "We went out in the company
of the Prophet for a Ghazwa and we were six persons having one
camel which we rode in rotation. So, (due to excessive
walking) our feet became thin and my feet became thin and my
nail dropped, and we used to wrap our feet with the pieces of
cloth, and for this reason, the Ghazwa was named Dhat−ur−Riqa
as we wrapped our feet with rags." When Abu− Musa narrated
this (Hadith), he felt regretful to do so and said, as if he
disliked to have disclosed a good deed of his.
5.451:
Narrated Salih bin Khawwat: Concerning those who witnessed the
Fear Prayer that was performed in the battle of Dhat−ur−Riqa'
in the company of Allah's Apostle; One batch lined up behind
him while another batch (lined up) facing the enemy. The
Prophet led the batch that was with him in one rak`a, and he
stayed in the standing posture while that batch completed
their (two rak`at) prayer by themselves and went away, lining
in the face of the enemy, while the other batch came and he
(i.e. the Prophet) offered his remaining rak`a with them, and
then, kept on sitting till they completed their prayer by
themselves, and he then finished his prayer with Taslim along
with them. Narrated Ibn Az−Zubair: Jabir said, "We were with
the Prophet at Nakhl," and then he mentioned the Fear prayer.
Narrated Al−Qasim bin Muhammad: The Prophet offered the Fear
prayer in the Ghazwa of Banu Anmar.
5.452:
Narrated Sahl bin Abi Hathma: (describing the Fear prayer):
The Imam stands up facing the Qibla and one batch of them
(i.e. the army) (out of the two) prays along with him and the
other batch faces the enemy. The Imam offers one rak`a with
the first batch they themselves stand up alone and offer one
bowing and two prostrations while they are still in their
place, and then go away to relieve the second batch, and the
second batch comes (and takes the place of the first batch in
the prayer behind the Imam) and he offers the second rak`a
with them. So he completes his two−rak`at and then the second
batch bows and prostrates two prostrations (i.e. complete
their second rak`a and thus all complete their prayer).
5.453:
Narrated Salih bin Hathma: The Prophet said as above (Hadith
452).
5.454:
Narrated Salih bin Khawwat: Sahl said as above (Hadith 452).
5.455:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: I took part in a Ghazwa towards Najd along
with Allah's Apostle and we clashed with the enemy, and we
lined up for them.
5.456:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: Allah's Apostle led the
Fear−prayer with one of the two batches of the army while the
other (batch) faced the enemy. Then the first batch went away
and took places of their companions (i.e. second batch) and
the second batch came and he led his second rak`a with them.
Then he (i.e. the Prophet: finished his prayer with Taslim and
then each of the two batches got up and completed their
remaining one rak`a.
5.457:
Narrated Sinan and Abu Salama: Jabir mentioned that he had
participated in a Ghazwa towards Najd in the company of
Allah's Apostle .
5.458:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: That he fought in a Ghazwa
towards Najd along with Allah's Apostle and when Allah's
Apostle returned, he too, returned along with him. The time of
the afternoon nap overtook them when they were in a valley
full of thorny trees. Allah's Apostle dismounted and the
people dispersed amongst the thorny trees, seeking the shade
of the trees. Allah's Apostle took shelter under a Samura tree
and hung his sword on it. We slept for a while when Allah's
Apostle suddenly called us, and we went to him, to find a
bedouin sitting with him. Allah's Apostle said, "This
(bedouin) took my sword out of its sheath while I was asleep.
When I woke up, the naked sword was in his hand and he said to
me, 'Who can save you from me?, I replied, 'Allah.' Now here
he is sitting." Allah's Apostle did not punish him (for that).
Through another group of narrators, Jabir said, "We were in
the company of the Prophet (during the battle of)
Dhat−ur−Riqa', and we came across a shady tree and we left it
for the Prophet (to take rest under its shade). A man from the
pagans came while the Prophet's sword was hanging on the tree.
He took it out of its sheath secretly and said (to the Prophet
), 'Are you afraid of me?' The Prophet said, 'No.' He said,
'Who can save you from me?' The Prophet said, Allah.' The
companions of the Prophet threatened him, then the Iqama for
the prayer was announced and the Prophet offered a two rak`at
Fear prayer with one of the two batches, and that batch went
aside and he offered two rak`a−t with the other batch. So the
Prophet offered four rak`at but the people offered two rak`at
only." (The sub−narrator) Abu Bishr added, "The man was
Ghaurath bin Al−Harith and the battle was waged against
Muharib Khasafa." Jabir added, "We were with the Prophet at
Nakhl and he offered the Fear prayer." Abu Huraira said, "I
offered the Fear prayer with the Prophet during the Ghazwa
(i.e. the battle) of Najd." Abu Huraira came to the Prophet
during the day of Khaibar. 5.459:
Narrated Ibn Muhairiz: I entered the Mosque and saw Abu Sa`id
Al−Khudri and sat beside him and asked him about Al−Azl (i.e.
coitus interruptus). Abu Sa`id said, "We went out with Allah's
Apostle for the Ghazwa of Banu Al−Mustaliq and we received
captives from among the Arab captives and we desired women and
celibacy became hard on us and we loved to do coitus
interruptus. So when we intended to do coitus interrupt us, we
said, 'How can we do coitus interruptus before asking Allah's
Apostle who is present among us?" We asked (him) about it and
he said, 'It is better for you not to do so, for if any soul
(till the Day of Resurrection) is predestined to exist, it
will exist." 5.460:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: We took part in the Ghazwa of
Najd along with Allah's Apostle and when the time for the
afternoon rest approached while he was in a valley with plenty
of thorny trees, he dismounted under a tree and rested in its
shade and hung his sword (on it). The people dispersed amongst
the trees in order to have shade. While we were in this state,
Allah's Apostle called us and we came and found a bedouin
sitting in front of him. The Prophet said, "This (Bedouin)
came to me while I was asleep, and he took my sword
stealthily. I woke up while he was standing by my head,
holding my sword without its sheath. He said, 'Who will save
you from me?' I replied, 'Allah.' So he sheathed it (i.e. the
sword) and sat down, and here he is." But Allah's Apostle did
not punish him.
5.461:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah Al−Ansari: I saw the Prophet
offering his Nawafil prayer on his Mount facing the East
during the Ghazwa of Anmar.
5.462:
Narrated `Aisha:
Whenever Allah's Apostle intended to go on a journey, he used
to draw lots amongst his wives, and Allah's Apostle used to
take with him the one on whom lot fell. He drew lots amongst
us during one of the Ghazwat which he fought. The lot fell on
me and so I proceeded with Allah's Apostle after Allah's order
of veiling (the women) had been revealed. I was carried (on
the back of a camel) in my howdah and carried down while still
in it (when we came to a halt). So we went on till Allah's
Apostle had finished from that Ghazwa of his and returned.
When we approached the city of Medina he announced at night
that it was time for departure. So when they announced the
news of departure, I got up and went away from the army camps,
and after finishing from the call of nature, I came back to my
riding animal. I touched my chest to find that my necklace
which was made of Zifar beads (i.e. Yemenite beads partly
black and partly white) was missing. So I returned to look for
my necklace and my search for it detained me. (In the
meanwhile) the people who used to carry me on my camel, came
and took my howdah and put it on the back of my camel on which
I used to ride, as they considered that I was in it. In those
days women were light in weight for they did not get fat, and
flesh did not cover their bodies in abundance as they used to
eat only a little food. Those people therefore, disregarded
the lightness of the howdah while lifting and carrying it; and
at that time I was still a young girl. They made the camel
rise and all of them left (along with it). I found my necklace
after the army had gone. Then I came to their camping place to
find no call maker of them, nor one who would respond to the
call. So I intended to go to the place where I used to stay,
thinking that they would miss me and come back to me (in my
search). While I was sitting in my resting place, I was
overwhelmed by sleep and slept. Safwan bin Al−Muattal
As−Sulami Adh−Dhakwani was behind the army. When he reached my
place in the morning, he saw the figure of a sleeping person
and he recognized me on seeing me as he had seen me before the
order of compulsory veiling (was prescribed). So I woke up
when he recited Istirja' (i.e. "Inna li l−lahi wa inna llaihi
raji'un") as soon as he recognized me. I veiled my face with
my head cover at once, and by Allah, we did not speak a single
word, and I did not hear him saying any word besides his
Istirja'. He dismounted from his camel and made it kneel down,
putting his leg on its front legs and then I got up and rode
on it. Then he set out leading the camel that was carrying me
till we overtook the army in the extreme heat of midday while
they were at a halt (taking a rest). (Because of the event)
some people brought destruction upon themselves and the one
who spread the Ifk (i.e. slander) more, was `Abdullah bin Ubai
Ibn Salul." (Urwa said, "The people propagated the slander and
talked about it in his (i.e. `Abdullah's) presence and he
confirmed it and listened to it and asked about it to let it
prevail." `Urwa also added, "None was mentioned as members of
the slanderous group besides (`Abdullah) except Hassan bin
Thabit and Mistah bin Uthatha and Hamna bint Jahsh along with
others about whom I have no knowledge, but they were a group
as Allah said. It is said that the one who carried most of the
slander was `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul." `Urwa added,
"`Aisha disliked to have Hassan abused in her presence and she
used to say, 'It was he who said: My father and his (i.e. my
father's) father and my honor are all for the protection of
Muhammad's honor from you."). `Aisha added, "After we returned
to Medina, I became ill for a month. The people were
propagating the forged statements of the slanderers while I
was unaware of anything of all that, but I felt that in my
present ailment, I was not receiving the same kindness from
Allah's Apostle as I used to receive when I got sick. (But
now) Allah's Apostle would only come, greet me and say,' How
is that (lady)?' and leave. That roused my doubts, but I did
not discover the evil (i.e. slander) till I went out after my
convalescence, I went out with Um Mistah to Al−Manasi' where
we used to answer the call of nature and we used not to go out
(to answer the call of nature) except at night, and that was
before we had latrines near our houses. And this habit of our
concerning evacuating the bowels, was similar to the habits of
the old 'Arabs living in the deserts, for it would be
troublesome for us to take latrines near our houses. So I and
Um Mistah who was the daughter of Abu Ruhm bin Al−Muttalib bin
`Abd Manaf, whose mother was the daughter of Sakhr bin 'Amir
and the aunt of Abu Bakr As−Siddiq and whose son was Mistah
bin Uthatha bin `Abbas bin Al−Muttalib, went out. I and Um
Mistah returned to my house after we finished answering the
call of nature. Um Mistah stumbled by getting her foot
entangled in her covering sheet and on that she said, 'Let
Mistah be ruined!' I said, 'What a hard word you have said. Do
you abuse a man who took part in the battle of Badr?' On that
she said, 'O you Hantah! Didn't you hear what he (i.e. Mistah)
said? 'I said, 'What did he say?' Then she told me the slander
of the people of Ifk. So my ailment was aggravated, and when I
reached my home, Allah's Apostle came to me, and after
greeting me, said, 'How is that (lady)?' I said, 'Will you
allow me to go to my parents?' as I wanted to be sure about
the news through them. Allah's Apostle allowed me (and I went
to my parents) and asked my mother, 'O mother! What are the
people talking about?' She said, 'O my daughter! Don't worry,
for scarcely is there a charming woman who is loved by her
husband and whose husband has other wives besides herself that
they (i.e. women) would find faults with her.' I said,
'Subhan−Allah! (I testify the uniqueness of Allah). Are the
people really talking in this way?' I kept on weeping that
night till dawn I could neither stop weeping nor sleep then in
the morning again, I kept on weeping. When the Divine
Inspiration was delayed. Allah's Apostle called `Ali bin Abi
Talib and Usama bin Zaid to ask and consult them about
divorcing me. Usama bin Zaid said what he knew of my
innocence, and the respect he preserved in himself for me.
Usama said, '(O Allah's Apostle!) She is your wife and we do
not know anything except good about her.' `Ali bin Abi Talib
said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Allah does not put you in difficulty
and there are plenty of women other than she, yet, ask the
maid−servant who will tell you the truth.' On that Allah's
Apostle called Barira (i.e. the maid−servant) and said, 'O
Barira! Did you ever see anything which aroused your
suspicion?' Barira said to him, 'By Him Who has sent you with
the Truth. I have never seen anything in her (i.e. Aisha)
which I would conceal, except that she is a young girl who
sleeps leaving the dough of her family exposed so that the
domestic goats come and eat it.' So, on that day, Allah's
Apostle got up on the pulpit and complained about `Abdullah
bin Ubai (bin Salul) before his companions, saying, 'O you
Muslims! Who will relieve me from that man who has hurt me
with his evil statement about my family? By Allah, I know
nothing except good about my family and they have blamed a man
about whom I know nothing except good and he used never to
enter my home except with me.' Sa`d bin Mu`adh the brother of
Banu `Abd Al−Ashhal got up and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I
will relieve you from him; if he is from the tribe of Al−Aus,
then I will chop his head off, and if he is from our brothers,
i.e. Al−Khazraj, then order us, and we will fulfill your
order.' On that, a man from Al−Khazraj got up. Um Hassan, his
cousin, was from his branch tribe, and he was Sa`d bin Ubada,
chief of Al−Khazraj. Before this incident, he was a pious man,
but his love for his tribe goaded him into saying to Sa`d (bin
Mu`adh). 'By Allah, you have told a lie; you shall not and
cannot kill him. If he belonged to your people, you would not
wish him to be killed.' On that, Usaid bin Hudair who was the
cousin of Sa`d (bin Mu`adh) got up and said to Sa`d bin
'Ubada, 'By Allah! You are a liar! We will surely kill him,
and you are a hypocrite arguing on the behalf of hypocrites.'
On this, the two tribes of Al−Aus and Al Khazraj got so much
excited that they were about to fight while Allah's Apostle
was standing on the pulpit. Allah's Apostle kept on quietening
them till they became silent and so did he. All that day I
kept on weeping with my tears never ceasing, and I could never
sleep. In the morning my parents were with me and I wept for
two nights and a day with my tears never ceasing and I could
never sleep till I thought that my liver would burst from
weeping. So, while my parents were sitting with me and I was
weeping, an Ansari woman asked me to grant her admittance. I
allowed her to come in, and when she came in, she sat down and
started weeping with me. While we were in this state, Allah's
Apostle came, greeted us and sat down. He had never sat with
me since that day of the slander. A month had elapsed and no
Divine Inspiration came to him about my case. Allah's Apostle
then recited Tashah−hud and then said, 'Amma Badu, O `Aisha! I
have been informed so−and−so about you; if you are innocent,
then soon Allah will reveal your innocence, and if you have
committed a sin, then repent to Allah and ask Him for
forgiveness for when a slave confesses his sins and asks Allah
for forgiveness, Allah accepts his repentance.' (continued...)
@(continuing... 1): −5.462:... ... When Allah's Apostle
finished his speech, my tears ceased flowing completely that I
no longer felt a single drop of tear flowing. I said to my
father, 'Reply to Allah's Apostle on my behalf concerning what
he has said.' My father said, 'By Allah, I do not know what to
say to Allah's Apostle .' Then I said to my mother, 'Reply to
Allah's Apostle on my behalf concerning what he has said.' She
said, 'By Allah, I do not know what to say to Allah's
Apostle.' In spite of the fact that I was a young girl and had
a little knowledge of Qur'an, I said, 'By Allah, no doubt I
know that you heard this (slanderous) speech so that it has
been planted in your hearts (i.e. minds) and you have taken it
as a truth. Now if I tell you that I am innocent, you will not
believe me, and if confess to you about it, and Allah knows
that I am innocent, you will surely believe me. By Allah, I
find no similitude for me and you except that of Joseph's
father when he said, '(For me) patience in the most fitting
against that which you assert; it is Allah (Alone) Whose Help
can be sought.' Then I turned to the other side and lay on my
bed; and Allah knew then that I was innocent and hoped that
Allah would reveal my innocence. But, by Allah, I never
thought that Allah would reveal about my case, Divine
Inspiration, that would be recited (forever) as I considered
myself too unworthy to be talked of by Allah with something of
my concern, but I hoped that Allah's Apostle might have a
dream in which Allah would prove my innocence. But, by Allah,
before Allah's Apostle left his seat and before any of the
household left, the Divine inspiration came to Allah's
Apostle. So there overtook him the same hard condition which
used to overtake him, (when he used to be inspired Divinely).
The sweat was dropping from his body like pearls though it was
a wintry day and that was because of the weighty statement
which was being revealed to him. When that state of Allah's
Apostle was over, he got up smiling, and the first word he
said was, 'O `Aisha! Allah has declared your innocence!' Then
my Mother said to me, 'Get up and go to him (i.e. Allah's
Apostle). I replied, 'By Allah, I will not go to him, and I
praise none but Allah. So Allah revealed the ten Verses:−−
"Verily! They who spread the slander Are a gang, among
you............." (2
4.11−20) Allah revealed those Qur'anic Verses to declare my
innocence. Abu Bakr As−Siddiq who used to disburse money for
Mistah bin Uthatha because of his relationship to him and his
poverty, said, 'By Allah, I will never give to Mistah bin
Uthatha anything after what he has said about Aisha.' Then
Allah revealed:−− "And let not those among you who are good
and wealthy swear not to give (any sort of help) to their
kinsmen, those in need, and those who have left their homes
for Allah's cause, let them pardon and forgive. Do you not
love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is oft−Forgiving
Most Merciful." (2
4.22) Abu Bakr As−Siddiq said, 'Yes, by Allah, I would like
that Allah forgive me.' and went on giving Mistah the money he
used to give him before. He also added, 'By Allah, I will
never deprive him of it at all.' Aisha further said:." Allah's
Apostle also asked Zainab bint Jahsh (i.e. his wife) about my
case. He said to Zainab, 'What do you know and what did you
see?" She replied, "O Allah's Apostle! I refrain from claiming
falsely that I have heard or seen anything. By Allah, I know
nothing except good (about `Aisha).' From amongst the wives of
the Prophet Zainab was my peer (in beauty and in the love she
received from the Prophet) but Allah saved her from that evil
because of her piety. Her sister Hamna, started struggling on
her behalf and she was destroyed along with those who were
destroyed. The man who was blamed said, 'Subhan−Allah! By Him
in Whose Hand my soul is, I have never uncovered the cover
(i.e. veil) of any female.' Later on the man was martyred in
Allah's Cause."
5.463:
Narrated Az−Zuhri: Al−Walid bin `Abdul Malik said to me, "Have
you heard that `Ali' was one of those who slandered `Aisha?" I
replied, "No, but two men from your people (named) Abu Salama
bin `Abdur−Rahman and Abu Bakr bin `Abdur−Rahman bin Al−Harith
have informed me that Aisha told them that `Ali remained
silent about her case."
5.464:
Narrated Masruq bin Al−Aida: Um Ruman, the mother of `Aisha
said that while `Aisha and she were sitting, an Ansari woman
came and said, "May Allah harm such and−such a person!" Um
Ruman said to her, What is the matter?" She replied, "My son
was amongst those who talked of the story (of the Slander)."
Um Ruman said, "What is that?" She said, "So−and−so...." and
narrated the whole story. On that `Aisha said, "Did Allah's
Apostle hear about that?" She replies, "yes." `Aisha further
said, "And Abu Bakr too?" She replied, "Yes." On that, `Aisha
fell down fainting, and when she came to her senses, she had
got fever with rigors. I put her clothes over her and covered
her. The Prophet came and asked, "What is wrong with this
(lady)?" Um Ruman replied, "O Allah's Apostle! She (i.e.
`Aisha) has got temperature with rigors." He said, "Perhaps it
is because of the story that has been talked about?" She said,
"Yes." `Aisha sat up and said, "By Allah, if I took an oath
(that I am innocent), you would not believe me, and if I said
(that I am not innocent), you would not excuse me. My and your
example is like that of Jacob and his sons (as Jacob said ):
'It is Allah (Alone) Whose Help can be sought against that you
assert.' Um Ruman said, "The Prophet then went out saying
nothing. Then Allah declared her innocence. On that, `Aisha
said (to the Prophet), "I thank Allah only; thank neither
anybody else nor you."
5.465:
Narrated Ibn Abi Malaika: `Aisha used to recite this Verse:−−
'Ida taliqunahu bi−alsinatikum' (2
4.15) "(As you tell lie with your tongues.)" and used to say
"Al−Walaq" means "telling of a lie. "She knew this Verse more
than anybody else as it was revealed about her.
5.466:
Narrated Hisham's father: I started abusing Hassan in front of
`Aisha. She said, "Do not abuse him as he used to defend
Allah's Apostle (against the infidels). `Aisha added, "Once
Hassan took the permission from the Prophet to say poetic
verses against the infidels. On that the Prophet said, 'How
will you exclude my forefathers (from that)? Hassan replied,
'I will take you out of them as one takes a hair out of the
dough." Hisham's father added, "I abused Hassan as he was one
of those who spoke against `Aisha."
5.467:
Narrated Masruq:
We went to `Aisha while Hassan bin Thabit was with her
reciting poetry to her from some of his poetic verses, saying
"A chaste wise lady about whom nobody can have suspicion. She
gets up with an empty stomach because she never eats the flesh
of indiscreet (ladies)." `Aisha said to him, "But you are not
like that." I said to her, "Why do you grant him admittance,
though Allah said:−− "and as for him among them, who had the
greater share therein, his will be a severe torment." (2
4.11) On that, `Aisha said, "And what punishment is more than
blinding?" She, added, "Hassan used to defend or say poetry on
behalf of Allah's Apostle (against the infidels).
5.468:
Narrated Zaid bin Khalid: We went out with Allah's Apostle in
the year of Al−Hudaibiya. One night it rained and Allah's
Apostle led us in the Fajr prayer and (after finishing it),
turned to us and said, " Do you know what your Lord has said?"
We replied, "Allah and His Apostle know it better." He said,
"Allah said:−− "(Some of) My slaves got up believing in Me,
And (some of them) disbelieving in Me. The one who said: We
have been given Rain through Allah's Mercy and Allah's
Blessing and Allah's Bounty, Then he is a believer in Me, and
is a Disbeliever in the star. And whoever said: We have been
given rain because of such−and−such star, Then he is a
believer in the star, and is a disbeliever in Me."
5.469:
Narrated Anas:
Allah's Apostle performed four `Umras, all in the month of
Dhul−Qa'da, except the one which he performed with his Hajj
(i.e. in Dhul−Hijja). He performed one `Umra from Al−Hudaibiya
in Dhul−Qa'da, another `Umra in the following year in Dhul
Qa'da a third from Al−Jirana where he distributed the war
booty of Hunain, in Dhul Qa'da, and the fourth `Umra he
performed was with his Hajj.
5.470:
Narrated Abu Qatada: We set out with the Prophet in the year
of Al−Hudaibiya, and all his companions assumed the state of
Ihram but I did not.
5.471:
Narrated Al−Bara:
Do you (people) consider the conquest of Mecca, the Victory
(referred to in the Qur'an 48:1). Was the conquest of Mecca a
victory? We really consider that the actual Victory was the
Ar−Ridwan Pledge of allegiance which we gave on the day of
Al−Hudaibiya (to the Prophet) . On the day of Al−Hudaibiya we
were fourteen hundred men along with the Prophet Al−Hudaibiya
was a well, the water of which we used up leaving not a single
drop of water in it. When the Prophet was informed of that, he
came and sat on its edge. Then he asked for a utensil of
water, performed ablution from it, rinsed (his mouth), invoked
(Allah), and poured the remaining water into the well. We
stayed there for a while and then the well brought forth what
we required of water for ourselves and our riding animals.
5.472:
Narrated Al−Bara bin Azib: That they were in the company of
Allah's Apostle on the day of Al−Hudaibiya and their number
was 1400 or more. They camped at a well and drew its water
till it was dried. When they informed Allah's Apostle of that,
he came and sat over its edge and said, "Bring me a bucket of
its water." When it was brought, he spat and invoked (Allah)
and said, "Leave it for a while." Then they quenched their
thirst and watered their riding animals (from that well) till
they departed.
5.473:
Narrated Salim:
Jabir said "On the day of Al−Hudaibiya, the people felt
thirsty and Allah's Apostle had a utensil containing water. He
performer ablution from it and then the people came towards
him. Allah's Apostle said, 'What is wrong with you?' The
people said, 'O Allah's Apostle! We haven't got any water to
perform ablution with or to drink, except what you have in
your utensil.' So the Prophet put his hand in the utensil and
the water started spouting out between his fingers like
springs. So we drank and performed ablution." I said to Jabir,
"What was your number on that day?" He replied, "Even if we
had been one hundred thousand, that water would have been
sufficient for us. Anyhow, we were 1500.'
5.474:
Narrated Qatada:
I said to Sa`id bin Al−Musaiyab, "I have been informed that
Jabir bin `Abdullah said that the number (of Al−Hudaibiya
Muslim warriors) was 1400." Sa`id said to me, "Jabir narrated
to me that they were 1500 who gave the Pledge of allegiance to
the Prophet on the day of Al−Hudaibiya.'
5.475:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: On the day of Al−Hudaibiya,
Allah's Apostle said to us' "You are the best people on the
earth!" We were 1400 then. If I could see now, I would have
shown you the place of the Tree (beneath which the Pledge of
allegiance was given by us)," Salim said, "Our number was
1400." `Abdullah bin Abi `Aufa said, "The people (who gave the
Pledge of allegiance) under the Tree numbered 1300 and the
number of Bani Aslam was 1/8 of the Emigrants."
5.476:
Narrated Mirdas Al−Aslami: Who was among those (who had given
the Pledge of allegiance) under the Tree: Pious people will
die in succession, and there will remain the dregs of society
who will be like the useless residues of dates and barley and
Allah will pay no attention to them.
5.477:
Narrated Marwan and Al−Miswar bin Makhrama: The Prophet went
out in the company of 1300 to 1500 of his companions in the
year of Al−Hudaibiya, and when they reached Dhul−Hulaifa, he
garlanded and marked his Hadi and assumed the state of Ihram.
5.478:
Narrated Ka`b bin Ujra: That Allah's Apostle saw him with the
lice falling (from his head) on his face. Allah's Apostle
said, "Are your lice troubling you? Ka`b said, "Yes." Allah's
Apostle thus ordered him to shave his head while he was at
Al−Hudaibiya. Up to then there was no indication that all of
them would finish their state of Ihram and they hoped that
they would enter Mecca. Then the order of Al−Fidya was
revealed, so Allah's Apostle ordered Ka`b to feed six poor
persons with one Faraq of food or slaughter a sheep or fast
for three days.
5.479:
Narrated Aslam:
Once I went with `Umar bin Al−Khattab to the market. A young
woman followed `Umar and said, "O chief of the believers! My
husband has died, leaving little children. By Allah, they have
not even a sheep's trotter to cook; they have no farms or
animals. I am afraid that they may die because of hunger, and
I am the daughter of Khufaf bin Ima Al−Ghafari, and my father
witnessed the Pledge of allegiance) of Al−Hudaibiya with the
Prophet.' `Umar stopped and did not proceed, and said, "I
welcome my near relative." Then he went towards a strong camel
which was tied in the house, and carried on to it, two sacks
he had loaded with food grains and put between them money and
clothes and gave her its rope to hold and said, "Lead it, and
this provision will not finish till Allah gives you a good
supply." A man said, "O chief of the believers! You have given
her too much." "`Umar said disapprovingly. "May your mother be
bereaved of you! By Allah, I have seen her father and brother
besieging a fort for a long time and conquering it, and then
we were discussing what their shares they would have from that
war booty."
5.480:
Narrated Sa`id bin Al−Musaiyab: That his father said, "I saw
the Tree (of the Ar−Ridwan Pledge of allegiance and when I
returned to it later, I was not able to recognize it. (The
sub−−narrator MahmiJd said, Al−Musaiyab said, 'Then; forgot it
(i.e., the Tree).)"
5.481:
Narrated Tariq bin `Abdur−Rahman: When I set out for Hajj, I
passed by some people offering a prayer, I asked, "What is
this mosque?" They said, "This is the Tree where Allah's
Apostle took the Ar−Ridwan Pledge of allegiance. Then I went
to Sa`id bin Musaiyab and informed him about it. Sa`id said,
"My father said that he was amongst those who had given the
Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Apostle beneath the Tree. He
(i.e. my father) said, "When we set out the following year, we
forgot the Tree and were unable to recognize it. "Then Sa`id
said (perhaps ironically) "The companions of the Prophet could
not recognize it; nevertheless, you do recognize it; therefore
you have a better knowledge."
5.482:
Narrated Sa`id bin Al−Musaiyab: That his father was amongst
those who had given the Pledge of allegiance (to the Prophet )
beneath the Tree, and the next year when they went towards the
Tree, they were not able to recognize it.
5.483:
Narrated Tariq:
(The tree where the Ridwan Pledge of allegiance was taken by
the Prophet) was mentioned before Sa`id bin Al−Musaiyab. On
that he smiled and said, "My father informed me (about it) and
he had witnessed it (i.e. the Pledge) ."
5.484:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi `Aufa: (Who was one of those who
had given the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet beneath the
Tree) When the people brought Sadaqa (i.e. rak`at) to the
Prophet he used to say, "O Allah! Bless them with your Mercy."
Once my father came with his Sadaqa to him whereupon he (i.e.
the Prophet) said. "O Allah! Bless the family of Abu `Aufa."
5.485:
Narrated `Abbas bin Tamim: When it was the day (of the battle)
of Al−Harra the people were giving Pledge of allegiance to
`Abdullah bin Hanzala. Ibn Zaid said, "For what are the people
giving Pledge of allegiance to `Abdullah bin Hanzala?" It was
said to him, "For death." Ibn Zaid said, "I will never give
the Pledge of allegiance for that to anybody else after
Allah's Apostle ." Ibn Zaid was one of those who had witnessed
the day of Al−Hudaibiya with the Prophet.
5.486:
Narrated Iyas bin Salama bin Al−Akwa`: My father who was
amongst those who had given the Pledge of allegiance to the
Prophet beneath the Tree, said to me, "We used to offer the
Jumua prayer with the Prophet and then depart at a time when
the walls had no shade for us to take shelter in."
5.487:
Narrated Yazid bin Abi Ubaid: I said to Salama bin Al−Akwa`,
"For what did you give the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's
Apostle on the day of Al−Hudaibiya?" He replied, "For death
(in the Cause of Islam.).
5.488:
Narrated Al−Musaiyab: I met Al−Bara bin `Azib and said (to
him). "May you live prosperously! You enjoyed the company of
the Prophet and gave him the Pledge of allegiance (of
Al−Hudaibiya) under the Tree." On that, Al−Bara' said, "O my
nephew! You do not know what we have done after him (i.e. his
death). 5.489:
Narrated Abu Qilaba: that Thabit bin Ad−Dahhak had informed
him that he was one of those who had given the Pledge of
allegiance (of Al−Hudaibiya) beneath the Tree.
5.490:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: regarding Allah's Statement: "Verily!
We have granted you (O, Muhammad) Manifest victory." (48.1) It
refers to the Al−Hudaibiya Pledge. And the companions of the
Prophet said (to the Prophet), "Congratulations and happiness
for you; but what reward shall we get?" So Allah revealed:−−
"That He may admit the believing men and women to gardens
beneath which rivers flow." (48.5)
5.491:
Narrated Zahir Al−Aslami: (who was one of those who had
witnessed (the Pledge of allegiance beneath) the Tree) While I
was making fire beneath the cooking pots containing donkey's
meat, the announcer of Allah's Apostle announced, "Allah's
Apostle forbids you to eat donkey's meat." The same narration
was told by Majzaa from a man called Uhban bin Aus who was one
of those who had witnessed (the Pledge of allegiance beneath)
the Tree., and who had some trouble in his knee so that while
doing prostrations, he used to put a pillow underneath his
knee.
5.492:
Narrated Suwaid bin An−Nu`man: who was one of those who
witnessed (the Pledge of allegiance beneath) the Tree: Allah's
Apostle and his companions were given Sawiq and they chewed
it.
5.493:
Narrated Abu Jamra: I asked Aidh bin `Amr, who was one of the
companions of the Prophet one of those (who gave the
allegiance to the Prophet the Tree: "Can the witr prayer be
repeated (in one night)?" He said, "If you have offered it in
the first part of the night, you should not repeat it in the
last part 'of the night." (See Fath−ul−Bari page 458 Vol 8th).
5.494:
Narrated Zaid bin Aslam: My father said, "Allah's Apostle was
proceeding at night on one of his journeys and `Umar bin
Al−Khattab was going along with him. `Umar bin Al−Khattab
asked him (about something) but Allah's Apostle did not answer
him. `Umar asked him again, but he did not answer him. He
asked him again (for the third time) but he did not answer
him. On that `Umar bin Al−Khattab addressed himself saying,
"May your mother be bereaved of you, O `Umar, for you have
asked Allah's Apostle thrice, yet he has not answered you."
`Umar said, "Then I made my camel run fast and took it in
front of the other Muslims, and I was afraid that something
might be revealed in my connection. I had hardly waited for a
moment when I heard somebody calling me. I said, 'I was afraid
that something might have been revealed about me.' Then I came
to Allah's Apostle and greeted him. He (i.e. the Prophet)
said, 'Tonight there has been revealed to me, a Sura which is
dearer to me than (all the world) on which the sun rises,' and
then he recited: 'Verily! We have granted you (O Muhammad) A
manifest victory." (48.1)
5.495:
Narrated Al−Miswar bin Makhrama and Marwan bin Al−Hakam: (one
of them said more than his friend): The Prophet set out in the
company of more than one−thousand of his companions in the
year of Al−Hudaibiya, and when he reached Dhul−Hulaifa, he
garlanded his Hadi (i.e. sacrificing animal), assumed the
state of Ihram for `Umra from that place and sent a spy of his
from Khuzi'a (tribe). The Prophet proceeded on till he reached
(a village called) Ghadir−al−Ashtat. There his spy came and
said, "The Quraish (infidels) have collected a great number of
people against you, and they have collected against you the
Ethiopians, and they will fight with you, and will stop you
from entering the Ka`ba and prevent you." The Prophet said, "O
people! Give me your opinion. Do you recommend that I should
destroy the families and offspring of those who want to stop
us from the Ka`ba? If they should come to us (for peace) then
Allah will destroy a spy from the pagans, or otherwise we will
leave them in a miserable state." On that Abu Bakr said, "O
Allah Apostle! You have come with the intention of visiting
this House (i.e. Ka`ba) and you do not want to kill or fight
anybody. So proceed to it, and whoever should stop us from it,
we will fight him." On that the Prophet said, "Proceed on, in
the Name of Allah !"
5.496:
Narrated `Urwa bin Az−Zubair: That he heard Marwan bin
Al−Hakam and Al−Miswar bin Makhrama relating one of the events
that happened to Allah's Apostle in the `Umra of Al−Hudaibiya.
They said, "When Allah's Apostle concluded the truce with
Suhail bin `Amr on the day of Al−Hudaibiya, one of the
conditions which Suhail bin `Amr stipulated, was his saying
(to the Prophet), "If anyone from us (i.e. infidels) ever
comes to you, though he has embraced your religion, you should
return him to us, and should not interfere between us and
him." Suhail refused to conclude the truce with Allah's
Apostle except on this condition. The believers disliked this
condition and got disgusted with it and argued about it. But
when Suhail refused to conclude the truce with Allah's Apostle
except on that condition, Allah's Apostle concluded it.
Accordingly, Allah's Apostle then returned Abu Jandal bin
Suhail to his father, Suhail bin `Amr, and returned every man
coming to him from them during that period even if he was a
Muslim. The believing women Emigrants came (to Medina) and Um
Kulthum, the daughter of `Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait was one of those
who came to Allah's Apostle and she was an adult at that time.
Her relatives came, asking Allah's Apostle to return her to
them, and in this connection, Allah revealed the Verses
dealing with the believing (women). Aisha said, "Allah's
Apostle used to test all the believing women who migrated to
him, with the following Verse:−− "O Prophet! When the
believing Women come to you, to give the pledge of allegiance
to you." (60.12) `Urwa's uncle said, "We were informed when
Allah ordered His Apostle to return to the pagans what they
had given to their wives who lately migrated (to Medina) and
we were informed that Abu Basir..." relating the whole
narration.
5.497:
Narrated Nafi`:
`Abdullah bin `Umar set out for Umra during the period of
afflictions, and he said, "If I should be stopped from
visiting the Ka`ba, I will do what we did when we were with
Allah's Apostle." He assumed Ihram for `Umra in the year of
Al−Hudaibiya.
5.498:
Narrated Nafi`:
Ibn `Umar assumed Ihram and said, "If something should
intervene between me and the Ka`ba, then I will do what the
Prophet did when the Quraish infidels intervened between him
and (the Ka`ba). Then Ibn `Umar recited: "You have indeed in
Allah's Apostle A good example to follow." (3
3.21)
5.499:
Narrated Nafi`:
One of `Abdullah's sons said to `Abdullah (bin `Umar) "I wish
you would stay this year (and not perform Hajj) as I am afraid
that you will not be able to reach the Ka`ba." On that he
(i.e. `Abdullah bin `Umar) said, "We went out with the Prophet
(for `Umra), and when the Quraish infidel intervened between
us and the Ka`ba, the Prophet slaughtered his Hadi and shaved
(his head), and his companions cut short their hair." Then
`Abdullah bin `Umar said, "I make you witness that I have
intended to perform `Umra and if I am allowed to reach the
Ka`ba, I will perform the Tawaf, and if something (i.e.
obstacles) intervene between me and the Ka`ba, then I will do
what Allah's Apostle did." Then after going for a while, he
said, "I consider the ceremonies (of both `Umra and Hajj as
one and the same, so I would like you to witness that I have
intended to perform Hajj along with my `Umra." So he performed
only one Tawaf and one Sai (between Safa and Marwa) and
finished the Ihram of both Umra and Hajj).
5.500:
Narrated Nafi`:
The people used to say that Ibn `Umar had embraced Islam
before `Umar. This is not true. What happened is that `Umar
sent `Abdullah to bring his horse from an Ansari man so as to
fight on it. At that time the people were giving the Pledge of
allegiance to Allah's Apostle near the Tree, and `Umar was not
aware of that. So `Abdullah (bin `Umar) gave the Pledge of
Allegiance (to the Prophet) and went to take the horse and
brought it to `Umar. While `Umar was putting on the armor to
get ready for fighting, `Abdullah informed him that the people
were giving the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Apostle
beneath the Tree. So `Umar set out and `Abdullah accompanied
him till he gave the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Apostle,
and it was this event that made people say that Ibn `Umar had
embraced Islam before `Umar. "Abdullah bin `Umar added, "The
people were along with the Prophet on the day of Al−Hudaibiya
spreading in the shade of the trees. Suddenly the people
surrounded the Prophet and started looking at him." `Umar
said, "O `Abdullah! Go and see why the people are encircling
Allah's Apostle and looking at him." `Abdullah bin `Umar then
saw the people giving the Pledge o allegiance to the Prophet.
So he also gave the Pledge of allegiance and returned to `Umar
who went out in his turn and gave the Pledge of allegiance to
the Prophet.'
5.501:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi `Aufa: We were in the company of
the Prophet when he performed the `Umra. He performed the
Tawaf and we did the same; he offered the prayer and we also
offered the prayer with him. Then he performed the Sai between
Safa and Marwa and we were guarding him against the people of
Mecca so that nobody should harm him.
5.502:
Narrated Abu Wail: When Sahl bin Hunaif returned from (the
battle of) Siffin, we went to ask him (as to why he had come
back). He replied, "(You should not consider me a coward) but
blame your opinions. I saw myself on the day of Abu Jandal
(inclined to fight), and if I had the power of refusing the
order of Allah's Apostle then, I would have refused it (and
fought the infidels bravely). Allah and His Apostle know (what
is convenient) better. Whenever we put our swords on our
shoulders for any matter that terrified us, our swords led us
to an easy agreeable solution before the present situation (of
disagreement and dispute between the Muslims). When we mend
the breach in one side, it opened in another, and we do not
know what to do about it."
5.503:
Narrated Ka`b bin Ujra: The Prophet came to me at the time of
Al−Hudaibiya Pledge while lice were falling on my face. He
said, "Are the lice of your head troubling you?" I said,
"Yes." He said, "Shave your head and fast for three days, or
feed six poor persons, or slaughter a sheep as sacrifice."
(The sub−narrator, Aiyub said, "I do not know with which of
these three options he started.")
5.504:
Narrated Ka`b bin Ujra: We were in the company of Allah's
Apostle at Al−Hudaibiya in the state of Ihram and the pagans
did not allow us to proceed (to the Ka`ba). I had thick hair
and lice started falling on my face. The Prophet passed by me
and said, "Are the lice of your head troubling you?" I
replied, Yes." (The sub−narrator added, "Then the following
Divine Verse was revealed:−− "And if anyone of you is ill or
has an ailment in his scalp, (necessitating shaving) must pay
a ransom (Fida) of either fasting or feeding the poor, Or
offering a sacrifice." (2.196)
5.505:
Narrated Anas:
Some people of the tribe of `Ukl and `Uraina arrived at Medina
to meet the Prophet and embraced Islam and said, "O Allah's
Prophet! We are the owners of milch livestock (i.e. bedouins)
and not farmers (i.e. countrymen)." They found the climate of
Medina unsuitable for them. So Allah's Apostle ordered that
they should be provided with some milch camels and a shepherd
and ordered them to go out of Medina and to drink the camels'
milk and urine (as medicine) So they set out and when they
reached Al−Harra, they reverted to Heathenism after embracing
Islam, and killed the shepherd of the Prophet and drove away
the camels. When this news reached the Prophet, he sent some
people in pursuit of them. (So they were caught and brought
back to the Prophet ). The Prophet gave his orders in their
concern. So their eyes were branded with pieces of iron and
their hands and legs were cut off and they were left away in
Harra till they died in that state of theirs. (See Hadith 234
Vol 1)
5.506:
Narrated Abu Raja: The freed slave of Abu Qilaba, who was with
Abu Qilaba in Sham: `Umar bin `Abdul `Aziz consulted the
people saying, "What do you think of Qasama." They said, "'It
is a right (judgment) which Allah's Apostle and the Caliphs
before you acted on." Abu Qilaba was behind `Umar's bed.
'Anbasa bin Sa`id said, But what about the narration
concerning the people of `Uraina?" Abu Qilaba said, "Anas bin
Malik narrated it to me," and then narrated the whole story.
5.507:
Narrated Salama bin Al−Akwa`: Once I went (from Medina)
towards (Al−Ghaba) before the first Adhan of the Fajr Prayer.
The she−camels of Allah's Apostle used to graze at a place
called Dhi−Qarad. A slave of `Abdur−Rahman bin `Auf met me (on
the way) and said, "The she−camels of Allah's Apostle had been
taken away by force." I asked, "Who had taken them?" He
replied "(The people of) Ghatafan." I made three loud cries
(to the people of Medina) saying, "O Sabahah!" I made the
people between the two mountains of Medina hear me. Then I
rushed onward and caught up with the robbers while they were
watering the camels. I started throwing arrows at them as I
was a good archer and I was saying, "I am the son of Al−Akwa`,
and today will perish the wicked people." I kept on saying
like that till I restored the she−camels (of the Prophet), I
also snatched thirty Burda (i.e. garments) from them. Then the
Prophet and the other people came there, and I said, "O
Allah's Prophet! I have stopped the people (of Ghatafan) from
taking water and they are thirsty now. So send (some people)
after them now." On that the Prophet said, "O the son of
Al−Akwa`! You have over−powered them, so forgive them." Then
we all came back and Allah's Apostle seated me behind him on
his she−camel till we entered Medina.
5.508:
Narrated Suwaid bin An−Nu`man: I went out in the company of
the Prophet in the year of Khaibar, and when we reached As
Sahba' which is the lower part of Khaibar, the Prophet offered
the `Asr prayer and then asked the people to collect the
journey food. Nothing was brought but Sawiq which the Prophet
ordered to be moistened with water, and then he ate it and we
also ate it. Then he got up to offer the Maghrib prayer. He
washed his mouth, and we too washed our mouths, and then he
offered the prayer without repeating his abulution.
5.509:
Narrated Salama bin Al−Akwa`: We went out to Khaibar in the
company of the Prophet. While we were proceeding at night, a
man from the group said to 'Amir, "O 'Amir! Won't you let us
hear your poetry?" 'Amir was a poet, so he got down and
started reciting for the people poetry that kept pace with the
camels' footsteps, saying:−− "O Allah! Without You we Would
not have been guided On the right path Neither would be have
given In charity, nor would We have prayed. So please forgive
us, what we have committed (i.e. our defects); let all of us
Be sacrificed for Your Cause And send Sakina (i.e. calmness)
Upon us to make our feet firm When we meet our enemy, and If
they will call us towards An unjust thing, We will refuse. The
infidels have made a hue and Cry to ask others' help Against
us." The Prophet on that, asked, "Who is that (camel) driver
(reciting poetry)?" The people said, "He is 'Amir bin
Al−Akwa`." Then the Prophet said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy
on him." A man amongst the people said, "O Allah's Prophet!
has (martyrdom) been granted to him. Would that you let us
enjoy his company longer." Then we reached and besieged
Khaibar till we were afflicted with severe hunger. Then Allah
helped the Muslims conquer it (i.e. Khaibar). In the evening
of the day of the conquest of the city, the Muslims made huge
fires. The Prophet said, "What are these fires? For cooking
what, are you making the fire?" The people replied, "(For
cooking) meat." He asked, "What kind of meat?" They (i.e.
people) said, "The meat of donkeys." The Prophet said, "Throw
away the meat and break the pots!" Some man said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Shall we throw away the meat and wash the pots
instead?" He said, "(Yes, you can do) that too." So when the
army files were arranged in rows (for the clash), 'Amir's
sword was short and he aimed at the leg of a Jew to strike it,
but the sharp blade of the sword returned to him and injured
his own knee, and that caused him to die. When they returned
from the battle, Allah's Apostle saw me (in a sad mood). He
took my hand and said, "What is bothering you?" I replied,
"Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you! The people
say that the deeds of 'Amir are lost." The Prophet said,
"Whoever says so, is mistaken, for 'Amir has got a double
reward." The Prophet raised two fingers and added, "He (i.e.
Amir) was a persevering struggler in the Cause of Allah and
there are few 'Arabs who achieved the like of (good deeds)
'Amir had done."
5.510:
Narrated Anas:
Allah's Apostle reached Khaibar at night and it was his habit
that, whenever he reached the enemy at night, he will not
attack them till it was morning. When it was morning, the Jews
came out with their spades and baskets, and when they saw
him(i.e. the Prophet ), they said, "Muhammad! By Allah!
Muhammad and his army!" The Prophet said, "Khaibar is
destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to
fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been
warned." Narrated Anas bin Malik: We reached Khaibar early in
the morning and the inhabitants of Khaibar came out carrying
their spades, and when they saw the Prophet they said,
"Muhammad! By Allah! Muhammad and his army!" The Prophet said,
"Allahu−Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach
a (hostile) nation (to fight) then evil will be the morning
for those who have been warned." We then got the meat of
donkeys (and intended to eat it), but an announcement was made
by the announcer of the Prophet, "Allah and His Apostle forbid
you to eat the meat of donkeys as it is an impure thing."
5.511:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Someone came to Allah's Apostles and
said, "The donkeys have been eaten (by the Muslims)." The
Prophet kept quiet. Then the man came again and said, "The
donkeys have been eaten." The Prophet kept quiet. The man came
to him the third time and said, "The donkeys have been
consumed." On that the Prophet ordered an announcer to
announce to the people, "Allah and His Apostle forbid you to
eat the meat of donkeys." Then the cooking pots were upset
while the meat was still boiling in them.
5.512:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer near Khaibar when it was
still dark and then said, "Allahu−Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed,
for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then
evil will be the morning for those who have been warned." Then
the inhabitants of Khaibar came out running on the roads. The
Prophet had their warriors killed, their offspring and woman
taken as captives. Safiya was amongst the captives, She first
came in the share of Dahya Alkali but later on she belonged to
the Prophet . The Prophet made her manumission as her 'Mahr'.
5.513:
Narrated `Abdul `Aziz bin Suhaib: Anas bin Malik said, "The
Prophet took Safiya as a captive. He manumitted her and
married her." Thabit asked Anas, "What did he give her as Mahr
(i.e. marriage gift)?" Anas replied. "Her Mahr was herself,
for he manumitted her."
5.514:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As Saidi: Allah's Apostle (and his
army) encountered the pagans and the two armies.,, fought and
then Allah's Apostle returned to his army camps and the others
(i.e. the enemy) returned to their army camps. Amongst the
companions of the Prophet there was a man who could not help
pursuing any single isolated pagan to strike him with his
sword. Somebody said, "None has benefited the Muslims today
more than so−and−so." On that Allah's Apostle said, "He is
from the people of the Hell−Fire certainly." A man amongst the
people (i.e. Muslims) said, "I will accompany him (to know the
fact)." So he went along with him, and whenever he stopped he
stopped with him, and whenever he hastened, he hastened with
him. The (brave) man then got wounded severely, and seeking to
die at once, he planted his sword into the ground and put its
point against his chest in between his breasts, and then threw
himself on it and committed suicide. On that the person (who
was accompanying the deceased all the time) came to Allah's
Apostle and said, "I testify that you are the Apostle of
Allah." The Prophet said, "Why is that (what makes you say
so)?" He said "It is concerning the man whom you have already
mentioned as one of the dwellers of the Hell−Fire. The people
were surprised by your statement, and I said to them, "I will
try to find out the truth about him for you." So I went out
after him and he was then inflicted with a severe wound and
because of that, he hurried to bring death upon himself by
planting the handle of his sword into the ground and directing
its tip towards his chest between his breasts, and then he
threw himself over it and committed suicide." Allah's Apostle
then said, "A man may do what seem to the people as the deeds
of the dwellers of Paradise but he is from the dwellers of the
Hell−Fire and another may do what seem to the people as the
deeds of the dwellers of the Hell−Fire, but he is from the
dwellers of Paradise."
5.515:
Narrated Abu Huraira: We witnessed (the battle of) Khaibar.
Allah's Apostle said about one of those who were with him and
who claimed to be a Muslim. "This (man) is from the dwellers
of the Hell−Fire." When the battle started, that fellow fought
so violently and bravely that he received plenty of wounds.
Some of the people were about to doubt (the Prophet's
statement), but the man, feeling the pain of his wounds, put
his hand into his quiver and took out of it, some arrows with
which he slaughtered himself (i.e. committed suicide). Then
some men amongst the Muslims came hurriedly and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Allah has made your statement true so−and−so
has committed suicide. "The Prophet said, "O so−and−so! Get up
and make an announcement that none but a believer will enter
Paradise and that Allah may support the religion with an
unchaste (evil) wicked man.
5.516:
Narrated Abu Musa Al−Ash`ari: When Allah's Apostle fought the
battle of Khaibar, or when Allah's Apostle went towards it,
(whenever) the people, (passed over a high place overlooking a
valley, they raised their voices saying, "Allahu−Akbar!
Allahu−Akbar! None has the right to be worshipped except
Allah." On that Allah's Apostle said (to them), "Lower your
voices, for you are not calling a deaf or an absent one, but
you are calling a Hearer Who is near and is with you." I was
behind the riding animal of Allah's Apostle and he heard me
saying. "There Is neither might, nor power but with Allah," On
that he said to me, "O `Abdullah bin Qais!" I said, "Labbaik.
O Allah's Apostle!" He said, "Shall I tell you a sentence
which is one of the treasures of Paradise" I said, "Yes, O
Allah's Apostle! Let my father and mother be sacrificed for
your sake." He said, "It is: There is neither might nor power
but with Allah."
5.517:
Narrated Yazid bin Abi Ubaid: I saw the trace of a wound in
Salama's leg. I said to him, "O Abu Muslim! What is this
wound?" He said, "This was inflicted on me on the day of
Khaibar and the people said, 'Salama has been wounded.' Then I
went to the Prophet and he puffed his saliva in it (i.e. the
wound) thrice., and since then I have not had any pain in it
till this hour."
5.518:
Narrated Sahl:
During one of his Ghazawat, the Prophet encountered the
pagans, and the two armies fought, and then each of them
returned to their army camps. Amongst the (army of the)
Muslims there was a man who would follow every pagan separated
from the army and strike him with his sword. It was said, "O
Allah's Apostle! None has fought so satisfactorily as
so−and−so (namely, that brave Muslim). "The Prophet said, "He
is from the dwellers of the Hell−Fire." The people said, "Who
amongst us will be of the dwellers of Paradise if this (man)
is from the dwellers of the Hell−Fire?" Then a man from
amongst the people said, "I will follow him and accompany him
in his fast and slow movements." The (brave) man got wounded,
and wanting to die at once, he put the handle of his sword on
the ground and its tip in between his breasts, and then threw
himself over it, committing suicide. Then the man (who had
watched the deceased) returned to the Prophet and said, "I
testify that you are Apostle of Allah." The Prophet said,
"What is this?" The man told him the whole story. The Prophet
said, "A man may do what may seem to the people as the deeds
of the dwellers of Paradise, but he is of the dwellers of the
Hell−Fire and a man may do what may seem to the people as the
deeds of the dwellers of the Hell−Fire, but he is from the
dwellers of Paradise."
5.519:
Narrated Abu `Imran: Anas looked at the people wearing
Tailsans (i.e. a special kind of head covering worn by Jews in
old days). On that Anas said, "At this moment they (i.e. those
people) look like the Jews of Khaibar."
5.520:
Narrated Salama:
`Ali remained behind the Prophet during the Ghazwa of Khaibar
as he was suffering from eye trouble. He then said, "(How can)
I remain behind the Prophet ," and followed him. So when he
slept on the night of the conquest of Khaibar, the Prophet
said, "I will give the flag tomorrow, or tomorrow the flag
will be taken by a man who is loved by Allah and His Apostle ,
and (Khaibar) will be conquered through him, (with Allah's
help)" While every one of us was hopeful to have the flag, it
was said, "Here is `Ali" and the Prophet gave him the flag and
Khaibar was conquered through him (with Allah's Help).
5.521:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: On the day of Khaibar, Allah's Apostle
said, "Tomorrow I will give this flag to a man through whose
hands Allah will give us victory. He loves Allah and His
Apostle, and he is loved by Allah and His Apostle." The people
remained that night, wondering as to who would be given it. In
the morning the people went to Allah's Apostle and everyone of
them was hopeful to receive it (i.e. the flag). The Prophet
said, "Where is `Ali bin Abi Talib?" It was said, "He is
suffering from eye trouble O Allah's Apostle." He said, "Send
for him." `Ali was brought and Allah's Apostle spat in his eye
and invoked good upon him. So `Ali was cured as if he never
had any trouble. Then the Prophet gave him the flag. `Ali said
"O Allah's Apostle! I will fight with them till they become
like us." Allah's Apostle said, "Proceed and do not hurry.
When you enter their territory, call them to embrace Islam and
inform them of Allah's Rights which they should observe, for
by Allah, even if a single man is led on the right path (of
Islam) by Allah through you, then that will be better for you
than the nice red camels. 5.522:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: We arrived at Khaibar, and when Allah
helped His Apostle to open the fort, the beauty of Safiya bint
Huyai bin Akhtaq whose husband had been killed while she was a
bride, was mentioned to Allah's Apostle. The Prophet selected
her for himself, and set out with her, and when we reached a
place called Sidd−as−Sahba,' Safiya became clean from her
menses then Allah's Apostle married her. Hais (i.e. an
'Arabian dish) was prepared on a small leather mat. Then the
Prophet said to me, "I invite the people around you." So that
was the marriage banquet of the Prophet and Safiya. Then we
proceeded towards Medina, and I saw the Prophet, making for
her a kind of cushion with his cloak behind him (on his
camel). He then sat beside his camel and put his knee for
Safiya to put her foot on, in order to ride (on the camel).
5.523:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet stayed with Safiya bint
Huyai for three days on the way of Khaibar where he
consummated his marriage with her. Safiya was amongst those
who were ordered to use a veil.
5.524:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet stayed for three rights between Khaibar and Medina
and was married to Safiya. I invited the Muslim to h s
marriage banquet and there wa neither meat nor bread in that
banquet but the Prophet ordered Bilal to spread the leather
mats on which dates, dried yogurt and butter were put. The
Muslims said amongst themselves, "Will she (i.e. Safiya) be
one of the mothers of the believers, (i.e. one of the wives of
the Prophet ) or just (a lady captive) of what his right−hand
possesses" Some of them said, "If the Prophet makes her
observe the veil, then she will be one of the mothers of the
believers (i.e. one of the Prophet's wives), and if he does
not make her observe the veil, then she will be his lady
slave." So when he departed, he made a place for her behind
him (on his and made her observe the veil.
5.525:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Mughaffal: While we were besieging
Khaibar, a person threw a leather container containing some
fat and I ran to take it. Suddenly I looked behind, and
behold! The Prophet was there. So I felt shy (to take it
then).
5.526:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: On the day of Khaiber, Allah's Apostle
forbade the eating of garlic and the meat of donkeys.

eating of horse meat.
5.531:
Narrated Ibn Abi `Aufa: We where afflicted with severe hunger
on the day of Khaibar. While the cooking pots were boiling and
some of the food was well−cooked, the announcer of the Prophet
came to say, "Do not eat anything the donkey−meat and upset
the cooking pots." We then thought that the Prophet had
prohibited such food because the Khumus had not been taken out
of it. Some others said, "He prohibited the meat of donkeys
from the point of view of principle, because donkeys used to
eat dirty things."
5.532:
Narrated Al−Bara and `Abdullah bin Abl `Aufa: That when they
were in the company of the Prophet, they got some donkeys
which they (slaughtered and) cooked. Then the announcer of the
Prophet said, "Turn the cooking pots upside down (i.e. throw
out the meat).
5.533:

when the cooking pots were put on the fire, the Prophet said,
"Turn the cooking pots upside down."
5.534:
Narrated Al−Bara:
We took part in a Ghazwa with the Prophet (same as Hadith No.
533). 5.535:
Narrated Al−Bara Bin Azib: During the Ghazwa of Khaibar, the
Prophet ordered us to throw away the meat of the donkeys
whether it was still raw or cooked. He did not allow us to eat
it later on.
5.536:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: I do not know whether the Prophet forbade
the eating of donkey−meat (temporarily) because they were the
beasts of burden for the people, and he disliked that their
means of transportation should be lost, or he forbade it on
the day of Khaibar permanently.
5.537:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: On the day of Khaibar, Allah's Apostle
divided (the war booty of Khaibar) with the ratio of two
shares for the horse and one−share for the foot soldier. (The
sub−narrator, Nafi` explained this, saying, "If a man had a
horse, he was given three shares and if he had no horse, then
he was given one share.")
5.538:
Narrated Jubair bin Mut`im: `Uthman bin `Affan and I went to
the Prophet and said, "You had given Banu Al−Muttalib from the
Khumus of Khaibar's booty and left us in spite of the fact
that we and Banu Al−Muttalib are similarly related to you."
The Prophet said, "Banu Hashim and Banu Al−Muttalib only are
one and the same." So the Prophet did not give anything to
Banu `Abd Shams and Banu Nawfal.
5.539:
Narrated Abu Musa: The news of the migration of the Prophet
(from Mecca to Medina) reached us while we were in Yemen. So
we set out as emigrants towards him. We were (three) I and my
two brothers. I was the youngest of them, and one of the two
was Abu Burda, and the other, Abu Ruhm, and our total number
was either 53 or 52 men from my people. We got on board a boat
and our boat took us to Negus in Ethiopia. There we met Ja`far
bin Abi Talib and stayed with him. Then we all came (to
Medina) and met the Prophet at the time of the conquest of
Khaibar. Some of the people used to say to us, namely the
people of the ship, "We have migrated before you." Asma' bint
'Umais who was one of those who had come with us, came as a
visitor to Hafsa, the wife the Prophet . She had migrated
along with those other Muslims who migrated to Negus. `Umar
came to Hafsa while Asma' bint 'Umais was with her. `Umar, on
seeing Asma,' said, "Who is this?" She said, "Asma' bint
'Umais," `Umar said, "Is she the Ethiopian? Is she the
sea−faring lady?" Asma' replied, "Yes." `Umar said, "We have
migrated before you (people of the boat), so we have got more
right than you over Allah's Apostle " On that Asma' became
angry and said, "No, by Allah, while you were with Allah's
Apostle who was feeding the hungry ones amongst you, and
advised the ignorant ones amongst you, we were in the far−off
hated land of Ethiopia, and all that was for the sake of
Allah's Apostle . By Allah, I will neither eat any food nor
drink anything till I inform Allah's Apostle of all that you
have said. There we were harmed and frightened. I will mention
this to the Prophet and will not tell a lie or curtail your
saying or add something to it." So when the Prophet came, she
said, "O Allah's Prophet `Umar has said so−and−so." He said
(to Asma'), "What did you say to him?" Asma's aid, "I told him
so−and−so." The Prophet said, "He (i.e. `Umar) has not got
more right than you people over me, as he and his companions
have (the reward of) only one migration, and you, the people
of the boat, have (the reward of) two migrations." Asma' later
on said, "I saw Abu Musa and the other people of the boat
coming to me in successive groups, asking me about this
narration,, and to them nothing in the world was more cheerful
and greater than what the Prophet had said about them."
Narrated Abu Burda: Asma' said, "I saw Abu Musa requesting me
to repeat this narration again and again." Narrated Abu Burda:
Abu Musa said, "The Prophet said, "I recognize the voice of
the group of Al−Ashariyun, when they recite the Qur'an, when
they enter their homes at night, and I recognize their houses
by (listening) to their voices when they are reciting the
Qur'an at night although I have not seen their houses when
they came to them during the day time. Amongst them is Hakim
who, on meeting the cavalry or the enemy, used to say to them
(i.e. the enemy). My companions order you to wait for them.' "
5.540:
Narrated Abu Musa: We came upon the Prophet after he had
conquered Khaibar. He then gave us a share (from the booty),
but apart from us he did not give to anybody else who did not
attend the Conquest.
5.541:
Narrated Abu Huraira: When we conquered Khaibar, we gained
neither gold nor silver as booty, but we gained cows, camels,
goods and gardens. Then we departed with Allah's Apostle to
the valley of Al−Qira, and at that time Allah's Apostle had a
slave called Mid`am who had been presented to him by one of
Banu Ad−Dibbab. While the slave was dismounting the saddle of
Allah's Apostle an arrow the thrower of which was unknown,
came and hit him. The people said, "Congratulations to him for
the martyrdom." Allah's Apostle said, "No, by Him in Whose
Hand my soul is, the sheet (of cloth) which he had taken
(illegally) on the day of Khaibar from the booty before the
distribution of the booty, has become a flame of Fire burning
him." On hearing that, a man brought one or two leather straps
of shoes to the Prophet and said, "These are things I took
(illegally)." On that Allah's Apostle said, "This is a strap,
or these are two straps of Fire."
5.542:
Narrated `Umar bin Al−Khattab: By Him in Whose Hand my soul
is, were I not afraid that the other Muslims might be left in
poverty, I would divide (the land of) whatever village I may
conquer (among the fighters), as the Prophet divided the land
of Khaibar. But I prefer to leave it as a (source of) a common
treasury for them to distribute it revenue amongst themselves.
5.543:
Narrated `Umar:
But for the other Muslims (i.e. coming generations) I would
divide (the land of) whatever villages the Muslims might
conquer (among the fighters), as the Prophet divided (the land
of) Khaibar.
5.544:
Narrated 'Anbasa bin Sa`id: Abu Huraira came to the Prophet
and asked him (for a share from the Khaibar booty). On that,
one of the sons of Sa`id bin Al−`As said to him, "O Allah's
Apostle! Do not give him." Abu Huraira then said (to the
Prophet ) "This is the murderer of Ibn Qauqal." Sa`id's son
said, "How strange! A guinea pig coming from Qadum Ad−Dan!"
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle sent Aban from Medina to
Najd as the commander of a Sariya. Aban and his companions
came to the Prophet at Khaibar after the Prophet had conquered
it, and the reins of their horses were made of the fire of
date palm trees. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Do not give them
a share of the booty." on, that, Aban said (to me), "Strange!
You suggest such a thing though you are what you are, O guinea
pig coming down from the top of Ad−Dal (a lotus tree)! "On
that the Prophet said, "O Aban, sit down ! " and did not give
them any share.
5.545:
Narrated Sa`id:
Aban bin Sa`id came to the Prophet and greeted him. Abu
Huraira said, "O Allah's Apostle! This (Aban) is the murderer
of the Ibn Qauqal." (On hearing that), Aban said to Abu
Huraira, "How strange your saying is! You, a guinea pig,
descending from Qadum Dan, blaming me for (killing) a person
whom Allah favored (with martyrdom) with my hand, and whom He
forbade to degrade me with his hand.'
5.546:
Narrated `Aisha:
Fatima the daughter of the Prophet sent someone to Abu Bakr
(when he was a caliph), asking for her inheritance of what
Allah's Apostle had left of the property bestowed on him by
Allah from the Fai (i.e. booty gained without fighting) in
Medina, and Fadak, and what remained of the Khumus of the
Khaibar booty. On that, Abu Bakr said, "Allah's Apostle said,
"Our property is not inherited. Whatever we leave, is Sadaqa,
but the family of (the Prophet) Muhammad can eat of this
property.' By Allah, I will not make any change in the state
of the Sadaqa of Allah's Apostle and will leave it as it was
during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle, and will dispose of it
as Allah's Apostle used to do." So Abu Bakr refused to give
anything of that to Fatima. So she became angry with Abu Bakr
and kept away from him, and did not task to him till she died.
She remained alive for six months after the death of the
Prophet. When she died, her husband `Ali, buried her at night
without informing Abu Bakr and he said the funeral prayer by
himself. When Fatima was alive, the people used to respect
`Ali much, but after her death, `Ali noticed a change in the
people's attitude towards him. So `Ali sought reconciliation
with Abu Bakr and gave him an oath of allegiance. `Ali had not
given the oath of allegiance during those months (i.e. the
period between the Prophet's death and Fatima's death). `Ali
sent someone to Abu Bakr saying, "Come to us, but let nobody
come with you," as he disliked that `Umar should come, `Umar
said (to Abu Bakr), "No, by Allah, you shall not enter upon
them alone " Abu Bakr said, "What do you think they will do to
me? By Allah, I will go to them' So Abu Bakr entered upon
them, and then `Ali uttered Tashah−hud and said (to Abu Bakr),
"We know well your superiority and what Allah has given you,
and we are not jealous of the good what Allah has bestowed
upon you, but you did not consult us in the question of the
rule and we thought that we have got a right in it because of
our near relationship to Allah's Apostle ." Thereupon Abu
Bakr's eyes flowed with tears. And when Abu Bakr spoke, he
said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is to keep good relations
with the relatives of Allah's Apostle is dearer to me than to
keep good relations with my own relatives. But as for the
trouble which arose between me and you about his property, I
will do my best to spend it according to what is good, and
will not leave any rule or regulation which I saw Allah's
Apostle following, in disposing of it, but I will follow." On
that `Ali said to Abu Bakr, "I promise to give you the oath of
allegiance in this after noon." So when Abu Bakr had offered
the Zuhr prayer, he ascended the pulpit and uttered the
Tashah−hud and then mentioned the story of `Ali and his
failure to give the oath of allegiance, and excused him,
accepting what excuses he had offered; Then `Ali (got up) and
praying (to Allah) for forgiveness, he uttered Tashah−hud,
praised Abu Bakr's right, and said, that he had not done what
he had done because of jealousy of Abu Bakr or as a protest of
that Allah had favored him with. `Ali added, "But we used to
consider that we too had some right in this affair (of
rulership) and that he (i.e. Abu Bakr) did not consult us in
this matter, and therefore caused us to feel sorry." On that
all the Muslims became happy and said, "You have done the
right thing." The Muslims then became friendly with `Ali as he
returned to what the people had done (i.e. giving the oath of
allegiance to Abu Bakr). 5.547:
Narrated `Aisha:
When Khaibar was conquered, we said, "Now we will eat our fill
of dates!"
5.548:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: We did not eat our fill except after we
had conquered Khaibar.
5.549:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri and Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle
appointed a man as the ruler of Khaibar who later brought some
Janib (i.e. dates of good quality) to the Prophet. On that,
Allah's Apostle said (to him). "Are all the dates of Khaibar
like this?" He said, "No, by Allah, O Allah's Apostle! But we
take one Sa of these (dates of good quality) for two or three
Sa's of other dates (of inferior quality)." On that, Allah's
Apostle said, "Do not do so, but first sell the inferior
quality dates for money and then with that money, buy Janib."
Abu Sa`id and Abu Huraira said, "The Prophet made the brother
of Bani Adi from the Ansar as the ruler of Khaibar.
5.550:
Narrated `Abdullah: The Prophet gave (the land of) Khaibar to
the Jews (of Khaibar) on condition that they would work on it
and cultivate it and they would have half of its yield.
5.551:
Narrated Abu Huraira: When Khaibar was conquered, a (cooked)
sheep containing poison, was given as a present to Allah's
Apostle.
5.552:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: Allah's Apostle appointed Usama bin Zaid
as the commander of some people. Those people criticized his
leadership. The Prophet said, "If you speak ill of his
leadership, you have already spoken ill of his father's
leadership before. By Allah, he deserved to be a Commander,
and he was one of the most beloved persons to me and now this
(i.e. Usama) is one of the most beloved persons to me after
him.
5.553:
Narrated Al−Bara:
When the Prophet went out for the `Umra in the month of
Dhal−Qa'da, the people of Mecca did not allow him to enter
Mecca till he agreed to conclude a peace treaty with them by
virtue of which he would stay in Mecca for three days only (in
the following year). When the agreement was being written, the
Muslims wrote: "This is the peace treaty, which Muhammad,
Apostle of Allah has concluded." The infidels said (to the
Prophet), "We do not agree with you on this, for if we knew
that you are Apostle of Allah we would not have prevented you
for anything (i.e. entering Mecca, etc.), but you are
Muhammad, the son of `Abdullah." Then he said to `Ali, "Erase
(the name of) 'Apostle of Allah'." `Ali said, "No, by Allah, I
will never erase you (i.e. your name)." Then Allah's Apostle
took the writing sheet...and he did not know a better
writing..and he wrote or got it the following written! "This
is the peace treaty which Muhammad, the son of `Abdullah, has
concluded: "Muhammad should not bring arms into Mecca except
sheathed swords, and should not take with him any person of
the people of Mecca even if such a person wanted to follow
him, and if any of his companions wants to stay in Mecca, he
should not forbid him." (In the next year) when the Prophet
entered Mecca and the allowed period of stay elapsed, the
infidels came to `Ali and said "Tell your companion (Muhammad)
to go out, as the allowed period of his stay has finished." So
the Prophet departed (from Mecca) and the daughter of Hamza
followed him shouting "O Uncle, O Uncle!" `Ali took her by the
hand and said to Fatima, "Take the daughter of your uncle." So
she made her ride (on her horse). (When they reached Medina)
`Ali, Zaid and Ja`far quarreled about her. `Ali said, "I took
her for she is the daughter of my uncle." Ja`far said, "She is
the daughter of my uncle and her aunt is my wife." Zaid said,
"She is the daughter of my brother." On that, the Prophet gave
her to her aunt and said, "The aunt is of the same status as
the mother." He then said to `Ali, "You are from me, and I am
from you," and said to Ja`far, "You resemble me in appearance
and character," and said to Zaid, "You are our brother and our
freed slave." `Ali said to the Prophet 'Won't you marry the
daughter of Hamza?" The Prophet said, "She is the daughter of
my foster brother."
5.554:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: Allah's Apostle set out with the intention
of performing `Umra, but the infidels of Quraish intervened
between him and the Ka`ba, so the Prophet slaughtered his Hadi
(i.e. sacrificing animals and shaved his head at Al−Hudaibiya
and concluded a peace treaty with them (i.e. the infidels) on
condition that he would perform the `Umra the next year and
that he would not carry arms against them except swords, and
would not stay (in Mecca) more than what they would allow. So
the Prophet performed the `Umra in the following year and
according to the peace treaty, he entered Mecca, and when he
had stayed there for three days, the infidels ordered him to
leave, and he left.
5.555:
Narrated Mujahid:
`Urwa and I entered the Mosque and found `Abdullah bin `Umar
sitting beside the dwelling place of `Aisha. `Urwa asked (Ibn
`Umar), "How many `Umras did the Prophet perform?" Ibn `Umar
replied, "Four, one of which was in Rajab." Then we heard
`Aisha brushing her teeth whereupon `Urwa said, "O mother of
the believers! Don't you hear what Abu `Abdur−Rahman is
saying? He is saying that the Prophet performed four `Umra,
one of which was in Rajab." `Aisha said, "The Prophet did not
perform any `Umra but he (i.e. Ibn `Umar) witnessed it. And he
(the Prophet ) never did any `Umra in (the month of) Rajab."
5.556:
Narrated Ibn Abi `Aufa: When Allah's Apostle performed the
`Umra (which he performed in the year following the treaty of
Al−Hudaibiya) we were screening Allah's Apostle from the
infidels and their boys lest they should harm him. 5.557:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: When Allah's Apostle and his companions
arrived (at Mecca), the pagans said, "There have come to you a
group of people who have been weakened by the fever of Yathrib
(i.e. Medina)." So the Prophet ordered his companions to do
Ramal (i.e. fast walking) in the first three rounds of Tawaf
around the Ka`ba and to walk in between the two corners (i.e.
the black stone and the Yemenite corner). The only cause which
prevented the Prophet from ordering them to do Ramal in all
the rounds of Tawaf, was that he pitied them. 5.558:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet hastened in going around the
Ka`ba and between the Safa and Marwa in order to show the
pagans his strength. Ibn `Abbas added, "When the Prophet
arrived (at Mecca) in the year of peace (following that of
Al−Hudaibiya treaty with the pagans of Mecca), he (ordered his
companions) to do Ramal in order to show their strength to the
pagans and the pagans were watching (the Muslims) from (the
hill of) Quaiqan.
5.559:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet married Maimuna while he was
in the state of lhram but he consummated that marriage after
finishing that state. Maimuna died at Saraf (i.e. a place near
Mecca). Ibn `Abbas added, The Prophet married Maimuna during
the `Umrat−al−Qada' (i.e. the `Umra performed in lieu of the
`Umra which the Prophet could not perform because the pagans,
prevented him to perform that `Umra).
5.560:
Narrated Nafi`:
Ibn `Umar informed me that on the day (of Mu'tah) he stood
beside Ja`far who was dead (i.e. killed in the battle), and he
counted fifty wounds in his body, caused by stabs or strokes,
and none of those wounds was in his back. `Abdullah bin `Umar
said, "Allah's Apostle appointed Zaid bin Haritha as the
commander of the army during the Ghazwa of Mu'tah and said,
"If Zaid is martyred, Ja`far should take over his position,
and if Ja`far is martyred, `Abdullah bin Rawaha should take
over his position.' " `Abdulla−h bin `Umar further said, "I
was present amongst them in that battle and we searched for
Ja`far bin Abi Talib and found his body amongst the bodies of
the martyred ones, and found over ninety wounds over his body,
caused by stabs or shots (of arrows).
5.561:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet had informed the people of the martyrdom of Zaid,
Ja`far and Ibn Rawaha before the news of their death reached.
The Prophet said, "Zaid took the flag (as the commander of the
army) and was martyred, then Ja`far took it and was martyred,
and then Ibn Rawaha took it and was martyred." At that time
the Prophet's eyes were shedding tears. He added, "Then the
flag was taken by a Sword amongst the Swords of Allah (i.e.
Khalid) and Allah made them (i.e. the Muslims) victorious."
5.562:
Narrated `Amra:
I heard `Aisha saying, "When the news of the martyrdom of Ibn
Haritha, Ja`far bin Abi Talib and `Abdullah bin Rawaka
reached, Allah's Apostle sat with sorrow explicit on his
face." `Aisha added, "I was then peeping through a chink in
the door. A man came to him and said, "O Allah's Apostle! The
women of Ja`far are crying.' Thereupon the Prophet told him to
forbid them to do so. So the man went away and returned
saying, "I forbade them but they did not listen to me." The
Prophet ordered him again to go (and forbid them). He went
again and came saying, 'By Allah, they overpowered me (i.e.
did not listen to me)." `Aisha said that Allah's Apostle said
(to him), "Go and throw dust into their mouths." Aisha added,
"I said, May Allah put your nose in the dust! By Allah,
neither have you done what you have been ordered, nor have you
relieved Allah's Apostle from trouble."
5.563:
Narrated 'Amir:
Whenever Ibn `Umar greeted the son of Ja`far, he used to say
(to him), "Assalam 'Alaika (i.e. peace be on you) O the son of
two−winged person."
5.564:

Mu'tah, nine swords were broken in my hand, and nothing was

Narrated An−Nu`man bin Bashir: `Abdullah bin Rawaha fell down
unconscious and his sister `Amra started crying and was saying
loudly, "O Jabala! Oh so−and−so! Oh so−and−so! and went on
calling him by his (good ) qualities one by one). When he came
to his senses, he said (to his sister), "When−ever you said
something, I was asked, 'Are you really so (i.e. as she
says)?"
5.567:
Narrated Ash Shabi: An Nu`man bin Bashir said, "Abdullah bin
Rawaha fell down unconscious.." (and mentioned the above
Hadith adding, "Thereupon, when he died she (i.e. his sister)
did not weep over him."
5.568:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid: Allah's Apostle sent us towards
Al−Huruqa, and in the morning we attacked them and defeated
them. I and an Ansari man followed a man from among them and
when we took him over, he said, "La ilaha illal−Lah." On
hearing that, the Ansari man stopped, but I killed him by
stabbing him with my spear. When we returned, the Prophet came
to know about that and he said, "O Usama! Did you kill him
after he had said "La ilaha ilal−Lah?" I said, "But he said so
only to save himself." The Prophet kept on repeating that so
often that I wished I had not embraced Islam before that day.
5.569:
Narrated Salama bin Al−Akwa`: I fought in seven Ghazwat (i.e.
battles) along with the Prophet and fought in nine battles,
fought by armies dispatched by the Prophet. Once Abu Bakr was
our commander and at another time, Usama was our commander.
Narrated Salama in another narration: I fought seven Ghazwat
(i.e. battles) along with the Prophet and also fought in nine
battles, fought by armies sent by the Prophet . Once Abu Bakr
was our commander and another time, Usama was (our commander).

fought in seven Ghazwat along with the Prophet." He then
mentioned Khaibar, Al−Hudaibiya, the day (i.e. battle) of
Hunain and the day of Al−Qurad. I forgot the names of the
other Ghazwat.
5.572:
Narrated `Ali:
Allah's Apostle sent me, Az−Zubair and Al−Miqdad saying,
"Proceed till you reach Rawdat Khakh where there is a lady
carrying a letter, and take that (letter) from her." So we
proceeded on our way with our horses galloping till we reached
the Rawda, and there we found the lady and said to her, "Take
out the letter." She said, "I have no letter." We said, "Take
out the letter, or else we will take off your clothes." So she
took it out of her braid, and we brought the letter to Allah's
Apostle . The letter was addressed from Hatib, bin Abi Balta'a
to some pagans of Mecca, telling them about what Allah's
Apostle intended to do. Allah's Apostle said, "O Hatib! What
is this?" Hatib replied, "O Allah's Apostle! Do not make a
hasty decision about me. I was a person not belonging to
Quraish but I was an ally to them from outside and had no
blood relation with them, and all the Emigrants who were with
you, have got their kinsmen (in Mecca) who can protect their
families and properties. So I liked to do them a favor so that
they might protect my relatives as I have no blood relation
with them. I did not do this to renegade from my religion
(i.e. Islam) nor did I do it to choose Heathenism after
Islam." Allah's Apostle said to his companions." As regards
him, he (i.e. Hatib) has told you the truth." `Umar said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Allow me to chop off the head of this
hypocrite!" The Prophet said, "He (i.e. Hatib) has witnessed
the Badr battle (i.e. fought in it) and what could tell you,
perhaps Allah looked at those who witnessed Badr and said, "O
the people of Badr (i.e. Badr Muslim warriors), do what you
like, for I have forgiven you. "Then Allah revealed the
Sura:−− "O you who believe! Take not my enemies And your
enemies as friends offering them (Your) love even though they
have disbelieved in that Truth (i.e. Allah, Prophet Muhammad
and this Qur'an) which has come to you ....(to the end of
Verse)....(And whosoever of you (Muslims) does that, then
indeed he has gone (far) astray (away) from the Straight
Path." (60.1
5.573:
Narrated Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah bin `Utba: Ibn `Abbas said,
Allah's Apostle fought the Ghazwa (i.e. battles of Al−Fath
during Ramadan." Narrated Az−Zuhri: Ibn Al−Musaiyab (also)
said the same. Ibn `Abbas added, "The Prophet fasted and when
he reached Al−Kadid, a place where there is water between
Kudaid and 'Usfan, he broke his fast and did not fast
afterwards till the whole month had passed away.
5.574:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas : The Prophet left Medina (for Mecca) in
the company of ten−thousand (Muslim warriors) in (the month
of) Ramadan, and that was eight and a half years after his
migration to Medina. He and the Muslims who were with him,
proceeded on their way to Mecca. He was fasting and they were
fasting, but when they reached a place called Al−Kadid which
was a place of water between 'Usfan and Kudaid, he broke his
fast and so did they. (Az−Zuhri said, "One should take the
last action of Allah's Apostle and leave his early action
(while taking a verdict.")
5.575:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Allah's Apostle set out towards Hunain in
the month of Ramadan and some of the people were fasting while
some others were not fasting, and when the Prophet mounted his
she−camel, he asked for a tumbler of milk or water and put it
on the palm of his hand or on his she−camel and then the
people looked at him; and those who were not fasting told
those who were fasting, to break their fast (i.e. as the
Prophet had done so). Ibn `Abbas added, "The Prophet went (to
Hunain) in the year of the Conquest (of Mecca).
5.576:
Narrated Tawus:
Ibn `Abbas said, "Allah's Apostle travelled in the month of
Ramadan and he fasted till he reached (a place called) 'Usfan,
then he asked for a tumbler of water and drank it by the
daytime so that the people might see him. He broke his fast
till he reached Mecca." Ibn `Abbas used to say, "Allah's
Apostle fasted and sometimes did not fast while traveling, so
one may fast or may not (on journeys)"
5.577:
Narrated Hisham's father: When Allah's Apostle set out
(towards Mecca) during the year of the Conquest (of Mecca) and
this news reached (the infidels of Quraish), Abu Sufyan, Hakim
bin Hizam and Budail bin Warqa came out to gather information
about Allah's Apostle , They proceeded on their way till they
reached a place called Marr−az−Zahran (which is near Mecca).
Behold! There they saw many fires as if they were the fires of
`Arafat. Abu Sufyan said, "What is this? It looked like the
fires of `Arafat." Budail bin Warqa' said, "Banu `Amr are less
in number than that." Some of the guards of Allah's Apostle
saw them and took them over, caught them and brought them to
Allah's Apostle. Abu Sufyan embraced Islam. When the Prophet
proceeded, he said to Al−Abbas, "Keep Abu Sufyan standing at
the top of the mountain so that he would look at the Muslims.
So Al−`Abbas kept him standing (at that place) and the tribes
with the Prophet started passing in front of Abu Sufyan in
military batches. A batch passed and Abu Sufyan said, "O
`Abbas Who are these?" `Abbas said, "They are (Banu) Ghifar."
Abu Sufyan said, I have got nothing to do with Ghifar." Then
(a batch of the tribe of) Juhaina passed by and he said
similarly as above. Then (a batch of the tribe of) Sa`d bin
Huzaim passed by and he said similarly as above. then (Banu)
Sulaim passed by and he said similarly as above. Then came a
batch, the like of which Abu Sufyan had not seen. He said,
"Who are these?" `Abbas said, "They are the Ansar headed by
Sa`d bin Ubada, the one holding the flag." Sa`d bin Ubada
said, "O Abu Sufyan! Today is the day of a great battle and
today (what is prohibited in) the Ka`ba will be permissible."
Abu Sufyan said., "O `Abbas! How excellent the day of
destruction is! "Then came another batch (of warriors) which
was the smallest of all the batches, and in it there was
Allah's Apostle and his companions and the flag of the Prophet
was carried by Az−Zubair bin Al Awwam. When Allah's Apostle
passed by Abu Sufyan, the latter said, (to the Prophet), "Do
you know what Sa`d bin 'Ubada said?" The Prophet said, "What
did he say?" Abu Sufyan said, "He said so−and−so." The Prophet
said, "Sa`d told a lie, but today Allah will give superiority
to the Ka`ba and today the Ka`ba will be covered with a
(cloth) covering." Allah's Apostle ordered that his flag be
fixed at Al−Hajun. Narrated `Urwa: Nafi` bin Jubair bin Mut`im
said, "I heard Al−Abbas saying to Az−Zubair bin Al−`Awwam, 'O
Abu `Abdullah ! Did Allah's Apostle order you to fix the flag
here?' " Allah's Apostle ordered Khalid bin Al−Walid to enter
Mecca from its upper part from Ka'da while the Prophet himself
entered from Kuda. Two men from the cavalry of Khalid bin
Al−Wahd named Hubaish bin Al−Ash'ar and Kurz bin Jabir
Al−Fihri were martyred on that day.
5.578:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Mughaffal: I saw Allah's Apostle on the
day of the Conquest of Mecca over his she−camel, reciting
Surat−al−Fath in a vibrant quivering tone. (The sub−narrator,
Mu'awiya added, "Were I not afraid that the people may gather
around me, I would recite in vibrant quivering tone as he
(i.e. `Abdullah bin Mughaffal) did, imitating Allah's
Apostle.")
5.579:
Narrated `Amr bin `Uthman: Usama bin Zaid said during the
Conquest (of Mecca), "O Allah's Apostle! Where will we encamp
tomorrow?" The Prophet said, "But has `Aqil left for us any
house to lodge in?" He then added, "No believer will inherit
an infidel's property, and no infidel will inherit the
property of a believer." Az−Zuhri was asked, "Who inherited
Abu Talib?" Az−Zuhri replied, "Ail and Talib inherited him."
5.580:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "If Allah makes us
victorious, our encamping place will be Al−Khaif, the place
where the infidels took an oath to be loyal to Heathenism (by
boycotting Banu Hashim, the Prophet's folk).
5.581:
Narrated Abu Huraira: When Allah's Apostle intended to carry
on the Ghazwa of Hunain, he said, "Tomorrow, if Allah wished,
our encamping) plaice will be Khaif Bani Kinana where (the
infidels) took an oath to be loyal to Heathenism."
5.582:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: On the day of the Conquest, the
Prophet entered Mecca, wearing a helmet on his head. When he
took it off, a man came and said, "Ibn Khatal is clinging to
the curtain of the Ka`ba." The Prophet said, "Kill him."
(Malik a sub−narrator said, "On that day the Prophet was not
in a state of Ihram as it appeared to us, and Allah knows
better.")
5.583:
Narrated `Abdullah: When the Prophet entered Mecca on the day
of the Conquest, there were 360 idols around the Ka`ba. The
Prophet started striking them with a stick he had in his hand
and was saying, "Truth has come and Falsehood will neither
start nor will it reappear.
5.584:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: When Allah's Apostle arrived in Mecca, he
refused to enter the Ka`ba while there were idols in it. So he
ordered that they be taken out. The pictures of the (Prophets)
Abraham and Ishmael, holding arrows of divination in their
hands, were carried out. The Prophet said, "May Allah ruin
them (i.e. the infidels) for they knew very well that they
(i.e. Abraham and Ishmael) never drew lots by these
(divination arrows). Then the Prophet entered the Ka`ba and
said. "Allahu Akbar" in all its directions and came out and
not offer any prayer therein.
5.585:
Narrated `Aisha:
During the year of the Conquest (of Mecca), the Prophet

offering the Duha (i.e. forenoon) prayer, except Um Ham who
mentioned that the Prophet took a bath in her house on the day
of the Conquest (of Mecca) and then offered an eight rak`at
prayer. She added, "I never saw the Prophet offering a lighter
prayer than that prayer, but he was performing perfect bowing
and prostrations."
5.588:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas : `Umar used to admit me (into his house)
along with the old men who had fought in the Badr battle. Some
of them said (to `Umar), "Why do you allow this young man to
enter with us, while we have sons of his own age? " `Umar
said, "You know what person he is." One day `Umar called them
and called me along with them, I had thought he called me on
that day to show them something about me (i.e. my knowledge).
`Umar asked them, "What do you say about (the Sura): "When
comes the help of Allah and the Conquest (of Mecca) And you
see mankind entering the Religion of Allah (i.e. Islam) in
crowds. 'So celebrate the Praises Of your Lord and ask for His
forgiveness, Truly, He is the One Who accepts repentance and
forgives." (110.1−3) Some of them replied, "We are ordered to
praise Allah and repent to Him if we are helped and granted
victory." Some said, "We do not know." Others kept quiet.
`Umar then said to me, "Do you say similarly?" I said, "No."
`Umar said "What do you say then?" I said, "This Verse
indicates the approaching of the death of Allah's Apostle of
which Allah informed him. When comes the help of Allah and the
Conquest, i.e. the Conquest of Mecca, that will be the sign of
your Prophet's) approaching death, so testify the uniqueness
of your Lord (i.e. Allah) and praise Him and repent to Him as
He is ready to forgive." On that, `Umar said, "I do not know
about it anything other than what you know."
5.589:
Narrated Abu Shuraih: Al−Adawi that he said to `Amr bin Sa`id
while the latter was sending troops in batches to Mecca, "O
chief! Allow me to tell you a statement which Allah's Apostle
said on the second day of the Conquest of Mecca. My two ears
heard it and my heart remembered it and my two eyes saw him
when he said it. He (i.e. the Prophet) praised Allah and then
said, 'Mecca has been made a sanctuary by Allah and not by the
people, so it is not lawful for a person, who believes in
Allah and the Last Day to shed blood in it, or to cut its
trees and if someone asks the permission to fight in Mecca
because Allah's Apostle was allowed to fight in it, say to
him; Allah permitted His Apostle and did not allow you, and
even he (i.e. the Apostle) was allowed for a short period of
the day, and today its (Mecca's sanctity has become the same
as it was before (of old) so those who are present should
inform those who are absent (this Hadith)." Then Abu Shuraih,
was asked, "What did `Amr say to you? Abu Shuraih said, "He
said, "I knew that better than you, O Abu Shuraih! The Haram
(i.e. Mecca) does not give refuge to a sinner or a fleeing
murderer or a person running away after causing destruction."
5.590:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: That he heard Allah's Apostle
saying in the year of the Conquest (of Mecca) while he was in
Mecca, "Allah and His Apostle have made the selling of wine
(i.e. alcoholic drinks) unlawful."
5.591:
Narrated Anas:
We stayed (in Mecca) for ten days along with the Prophet and
used to offer shortened prayers (i.e. journey prayers).
5.592:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet stayed in Mecca for 19 days
during which he prayed 2 rak`at in each prayer. 5.593:
Narrated `Ikrima:
Ibn `Abbas said, "We stayed for 19 days with Prophet on a
journey during which we used to offer shortened prayers." Ibn
`Abbas added, "We offer the Qasr prayer (i.e. shortened
prayer) If we stay up to 19 days as travelers, But if we stay
longer, we offer complete prayers.
5.594:
Narrated Az−Zuhri: While we were in the company of the Ibn
Al−Musaiyab, Sunain Abi Jamila informed us (a Hadith), Abu
Jamila said that he lived during the lifetime of the Prophet
and that he had accompanied him ( to Mecca) during the year of
the Conquest (of Mecca).
5.595:
Narrated `Amr bin Salama: We were at a place which was a
thoroughfare for the people, and the caravans used to pass by
us and we would ask them, "What is wrong with the people? What
is wrong with the people? Who is that man?. They would say,
"That man claims that Allah has sent him (as an Apostle), that
he has been divinely inspired, that Allah has revealed to him
such−and−such." I used to memorize that (Divine) Talk, and
feel as if it was inculcated in my chest (i.e. mind) And the
'Arabs (other than Quraish) delayed their conversion to Islam
till the Conquest (of Mecca). They used to say." "Leave him
(i.e. Muhammad) and his people Quraish: if he overpowers them
then he is a true Prophet. So, when Mecca was conquered, then
every tribe rushed to embrace Islam, and my father hurried to
embrace Islam before (the other members of) my tribe. When my
father returned (from the Prophet) to his tribe, he said, "By
Allah, I have come to you from the Prophet for sure!" The
Prophet afterwards said to them, 'Offer such−and−such prayer
at such−and−such time, and when the time for the prayer
becomes due, then one of you should pronounce the Adhan (for
the prayer), and let the one amongst you who knows Qur'an most
should, lead the prayer." So they looked for such a person and
found none who knew more Qur'an than I because of the Qur'anic
material which I used to learn from the caravans. They
therefore made me their Imam ((to lead the prayer) and at that
time I was a boy of six or seven years, wearing a Burda (i.e.
a black square garment) proved to be very short for me (and my
body became partly naked). A lady from the tribe said, "Won't
you cover the anus of your reciter for us?" So they bought (a
piece of cloth) and made a shirt for me. I had never been so
happy with anything before as I was with that shirt.
5.596:
Narrated `Aisha:
`Utba bin Abi Waqqas authorized his brother Sa`d to take the
son of the slave−girl of Zam`a into his custody. `Utba said
(to him). "He is my son." When Allah's Apostle arrived in
Mecca during the Conquest (of Mecca), Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas took
the son of the slave−girl of Zam`a and took him to the Prophet
`Abd bin Zam`a too came along with him. Sa`d said. "This is
the son of my brother and the latter has informed me that he
is his son." `Abd bin Zam`a said, "O Allah's Apostle! This is
my brother who is the son of the slave−girl of Zam`a and was
born on his (i.e. Zam'as) bed.' Allah's Apostle looked at the
son of the slave−girl of Zam`a and noticed that he, of all the
people had the greatest resemblance to `Utba bin Abi Waqqas.
Allah's Apostle then said (to `Abd), " He is yours; he is your
brother, O `Abd bin Zam`a, he was born on the bed (of your
father)." (At the same time) Allah's Apostle said (to his wife
Sauda), "Veil yourself before him (i.e. the son of the
slave−girl) O Sauda," because of the resemblance he noticed
between him and `Utba bin Abi Waqqas. Allah's Apostle added,
"The boy is for the bed (i.e. for the owner of the bed where
he was born), and stone is for the adulterer." (Ibn Shihab
said, "Abu Huraira used to say that (i.e. the last statement
of the Prophet in the above Hadith 596, publicly.")
5.597:
Narrated `Urwa bin Az−Zubair: A lady committed theft during
the lifetime of Allah's Apostle in the Ghazwa of Al−Fath,
((i.e. Conquest of Mecca). Her folk went to Usama bin Zaid to
intercede for her (with the Prophet). When Usama interceded
for her with Allah's Apostle, the color of the face of Allah's
Apostle changed and he said, "Do you intercede with me in a
matter involving one of the legal punishments prescribed by
Allah?" Usama said, "O Allah's Apostle! Ask Allah's
Forgiveness for me." So in the afternoon, Allah's Apostle got
up and addressed the people. He praised Allah as He deserved
and then said, "Amma ba'du ! The nations prior to you were
destroyed because if a noble amongst them stole, they used to
excuse him, and if a poor person amongst them stole, they
would apply (Allah's) Legal Punishment to him. By Him in Whose
Hand Muhammad's soul is, if Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad
stole, I would cut her hand." Then Allah's Apostle gave his
order in the case of that woman and her hand was cut off.
Afterwards her repentance proved sincere and she got married.
`Aisha said, "That lady used to visit me and I used to convey
her demands to Allah's Apostle."
5.598:
Narrated Majashi:
I took my brother to the Prophet after the Conquest (of Mecca)
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have come to you with my
brother so that you may take a pledge of allegiance from him
for migration." The Prophet said, The people of migration
(i.e. those who migrated to Medina before the Conquest)
enjoyed the privileges of migration (i.e. there is no need for
migration anymore)." I said to the Prophet, "For what will you
take his pledge of allegiance?" The Prophet said, "I will take
his pledge of allegiance for Islam, Belief, and for Jihad
(i.e. fighting in Allah's Cause).
5.599:
Narrated Mujashi bin Masud: I took Abu Mabad to the Prophet in
order that he might give him the pledge of allegiance for
migration. The Prophet said, "Migration has gone to its
people, but I take the pledge from him (i.e. Abu Mabad) for
Islam and Jihad."
5.600:
Narrated Mujahid:
I said to Ibn `Umar, "I want to migrate to Sham." He said,
"There is no migration, but Jihad (for Allah's Cause). Go and
offer yourself for Jihad, and if you find an opportunity for
Jihad (stay there) otherwise, come back." (In an other
narration) Ibn `Umar said, "There is no migration today or
after Allah's Apostle." (and completed his statement as
above.)
5.601:
Narrated Mujahid bin Jabr: `Abdullah bin `Umar used to say,
"There is no migration after the Conquest (of Mecca).
5.602:
Narrated `Ata' bin Abi Rabah: `Ubaid bin `Umar and I visited
`Aisha, and he asked her about the migration. She said, "There
is no migration today. A believer used to flee with his
religion to Allah and His Prophet for fear that he might be
put to trial as regards his religion. Today Allah has rendered
Islam victorious; therefore a believing one can worship one's
Lord wherever one wishes. But there is Jihad (for Allah's
Cause) and intentions." (See Hadith 42, in the 4th Vol. for
its Explanation)
5.603:
Narrated Mujahid:
Allah's Apostle got up on the day of the Conquest of Mecca and
said, "Allah has made Mecca a sanctuary since the day He
created the Heavens and the Earth, and it will remain a
sanctuary by virtue of the sanctity Allah has bestowed on it
till the Day of Resurrection. It (i.e. fighting in it) was not
made lawful to anyone before me!, nor will it be made lawful
to anyone after me, and it was not made lawful for me except
for a short period of time. Its game should not be chased, nor
should its trees be cut, nor its vegetation or grass uprooted,
not its Luqata (i.e. Most things) picked up except by one who
makes a public announcement about it." Al−Abbas bin `Abdul
Muttalib said, "Except the Idhkhir, O Allah's Apostle, as it
is indispensable for blacksmiths and houses." On that, the
Prophet kept quiet and then said, "Except the Idhkhir as it is
lawful to cut."
5.604:
Narrated Isma`il:
I saw (a healed scar of) blow over the hand of Ibn Abi `Aufa
who said, "I received that blow in the battle of Hunain in the
company of the Prophet." I said, "Did you take part in the
battle of Hunain?" He replied, "Yes (and in other battles)
before it." 5.605:
Narrated Abu 'Is−haq: I heard Al−Bara' narrating when a man
came and said to him, "O Abu '`Umara! Did you flee on the day
(of the battle) of Hunain?" Al−Bara' replied, "I testify that
the Prophet did not flee, but the hasty people hurried away
and the people of Hawazin threw arrows at them. At that time,
Abu Sufyan bin Al−Harith was holding the white mule of the
Prophet by the head, and the Prophet was saying, "I am the
Prophet undoubtedly: I am the son of `Abdul−Muttalib."
5.606:
Narrated Abu 'Is−haq: Al−Bara' was asked while I was
listening, "Did you flee (before the enemy) along with the
Prophet on the day of (the battle of) Hunain?" He replied, "As
for the Prophet, he did not (flee). The enemy were good
archers and the Prophet was saying, "I am the Prophet
undoubtedly; I am the son of `Abdul Muttalib."
5.607:
Narrated Abu 'Is−haq: That he heard Al−Bara narrating when a
man from Qais (tribe) asked him "Did you flee leaving Allah's
Apostle on the day (of the battle) of Hunain?" Al−Bara'
replied, "But Allah's Apostle did not flee. The people of
Hawazin were good archers, and when we attacked them, they
fled. But rushing towards the booty, we were confronted by the
arrows (of the enemy). I saw the Prophet riding his white mule
while Abu Sufyan was holding its reins, and the Prophet was
saying "I am the Prophet undoubtedly." (Israil and Zuhair
said, "The Prophet dismounted from his Mule.")
5.608:
Narrated Marwan and Al−Miswar bin Makhrama: When the delegate
of Hawazin came to Allah's Apostle declaring their conversion
to Islam and asked him to return their properties and
captives, Allah's Apostle got up and said to them, "There Is
involved in this matter, the people whom you see with me, and
the most beloved talk to me, is the true one. So choose one of
two alternatives: Either the captives or the properties. I
have been waiting for you (i.e. have not distributed the
booty)." Allah's Apostle had delayed the distribution of their
booty over ten nights after his return from Ta'if. So when
they came to know that Allah's Apostle was not going to return
to them but one of the two, they said, "We prefer to have our
captives." So Allah's Apostle got up amongst the Muslims, and
praising Allah as He deserved, said, "To proceed! Your
brothers have come to you with repentance and I see (it
logical) to return their captives. So, whoever of you likes to
do that as a favor then he can do it. And whoever of you likes
to stick to his share till we give him from the very first
booty which Allah will give us, then he can do so." The people
said, "We do that (i.e. return the captives) willingly as a
favor, 'O Allah's Apostle!" Allah's Apostle said, "We do not
know which of you have agreed to it and which have not; so go
back and let your chiefs forward us your decision." They went
back and their chief's spoke to them, and they (i.e. the
chiefs) returned to Allah's Apostle and informed him that all
of them had agreed (to give up their captives) with pleasure,
and had given their permission (i.e. that the captives be
returned to their people). (The sub−narrator said, "That is
what has reached me about the captives of Hawazin tribe.")
5.609:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: When we returned from (the battle of)
Hunain, `Umar asked the Prophet about a vow which he had made
during the Pre−lslamic period of Ignorance that he would
perform I`tikaf. The Prophet ordered him to fulfill his vow.
5.610:
Narrated Abu Qatada: We set out along with the Prophet during
the year of (the battle of) Hunain, and when we faced the
enemy, the Muslims (with the exception of the Prophet and some
of his companions) retreated (before the enemy). I saw one of
the pagans over−powering one of the Muslims, so I struck the
pagan from behind his neck causing his armor to be cut off.
The pagan headed towards me and pressed me so forcibly that I
felt as if I was dying. Then death took him over and he
released me. Afterwards I followed `Umar and said to him,
"What is wrong with the people?" He said, "It is the Order of
Allah." Then the Muslims returned (to the battle after the
flight) and (after overcoming the enemy) the Prophet sat and
said, "Whoever had killed an Infidel and has an evidence to
this issue, will have the Salb (i.e. the belonging of the
deceased e.g. clothes, arms, horse, etc)." I (stood up) and
said, "Who will be my witness?" and then sat down. Then the
Prophet repeated his question. Then the Prophet said the same
(for the third time). I got up and said, "Who will be my
witness?" and then sat down. The Prophet asked his former
question again. So I got up. The Prophet said, What is the
matter, O Abu Qatada?" So I narrated the whole story; A man
said, "Abu Qatada has spoken the truth, and the Salb of the
deceased is with me, so please compensate Abu Qatada on my
behalf." Abu Bakr said, "No! By Allah, it will never happen
that the Prophet will leave a Lion of Allah who fights for the
Sake of Allah and His Apostle and give his spoils to you." The
Prophet said, "Abu Bakr has spoken the truth. Give it (the
spoils) back to him (O man)!" So he gave it to me and I bought
a garden in (the land of) Banu Salama with it (i.e. the
spoils) and that was the first property I got after embracing
Islam.
5.611:
Narrated Abu Qatada: When it was the day of (the battle of)
Hunain, I saw a Muslim man fighting with one of the pagans and
another pagan was hiding himself behind the Muslim in order to
kill him. So I hurried towards the pagan who was hiding behind
the Muslim to kill him, and he raised his hand to hit me but I
hit his hand and cut it off. That man got hold of me and
pressed me so hard that I was afraid (that I would die), then
he knelt down and his grip became loose and I pushed him and
killed him. The Muslims (excepting the Prophet and some of his
companions) started fleeing and I too, fled with them.
Suddenly I met `Umar bin Al−Khattab amongst the people and I
asked him, "What is wrong with the people?" He said, "It is
the order of Allah" Then the people returned to Allah's
Apostle (after defeating the enemy). Allah's Apostle said,
"Whoever produces a proof that he has killed an infidel, will
have the spoils of the killed man." So I got up to look for an
evidence to prove that I had killed an infidel, but I could
not find anyone to bear witness for me, so I sat down. Then it
came to my mind (that I should speak of it) and I mentioned
the case to Allah's Apostle. A man from the persons who were
sitting with him (i.e. the Prophet), said, "The arms of the
deceased one whom he ( i.e. Abu Qatada) has mentioned, are
with me, so please compensate him for it (i.e. the spoils),"
Abu Bakr said, "No, Allah's Apostle will not give it (i.e. the
spoils) to a weak humble person from Quraish and leave one of
Allah's Lions who fights on behalf of Allah and His Apostle."
Allah's Apostle then got up and gave that (spoils) to me, and
I bought with it, a garden which was the first property I got
after embracing Islam.
5.612:
Narrated Abu Musa: When the Prophet had finished from the
battle of Hunain, he sent Abu Amir at the head of an army to
Autas He (i.e. Abu Amir) met Duraid bin As Summa and Duraid
was killed and Allah defeated his companions. The Prophet sent
me with Abu 'Amir. Abu Amir was shot at his knee with an arrow
which a man from Jushm had shot and fixed into his knee. I
went to him and said, "O Uncle! Who shot you?" He pointed me
out (his killer) saying, "That is my killer who shot me (with
an arrow)." So I headed towards him and overtook him, and when
he saw me, he fled, and I followed him and started saying to
him, "Won't you be ashamed? Won't you stop?" So that person
stopped, and we exchanged two hits with the swords and I
killed him. Then I said to Abu 'Amir. "Allah has killed your
killer." He said, "Take out this arrow" So I removed it, and
water oozed out of the wound. He then said, "O son of my
brother! Convey my compliments to the Prophet and request him
to ask Allah's Forgiveness for me." Abu Amir made me his
successor in commanding the people (i.e. troops). He survived
for a short while and then died. (Later) I returned and
entered upon the Prophet at his house, and found him lying in
a bed made of stalks of date−palm leaves knitted with ropes,
and on it there was bedding. The strings of the bed had their
traces over his back and sides. Then I told the Prophet about
our and Abu Amir's news and how he had said "Tell him to ask
for Allah's Forgiveness for me." The Prophet asked for water,
performed ablution and then raised hands, saying, "O Allah's
Forgive `Ubaid, Abu Amir." At that time I saw the whiteness of
the Prophet's armpits. The Prophet then said, "O Allah, make
him (i.e. Abu Amir) on the Day of Resurrection, superior to
many of Your human creatures." I said, "Will you ask Allah's
Forgiveness for me?" (On that) the Prophet said, "O Allah,
forgive the sins of `Abdullah bin Qais and admit him to a nice
entrance (i.e. paradise) on the Day of Resurrection." Abu
Burda said, "One of the prayers was for Abu 'Amir and the
other was for Abu Musa (i.e. `Abdullah bin Qais).
5.613:
Narrated Um Salama: The Prophet came to me while there was an
effeminate man sitting with me, and I heard him (i.e. the
effeminate man) saying to `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya, "O
`Abdullah! See if Allah should make you conquer Ta'if
tomorrow, then take the daughter of Ghailan (in marriage) as
(she is so beautiful and fat that) she shows four folds of
flesh when facing you, and eight when she turns her back." The
Prophet then said, "These (effeminate men) should never enter
upon you (O women!)." Ibn Juraij said, "That effeminate man
was called Hit."
5.614:
Narrated Hisham:
The above narration and added extra, that at that time, the
Prophet, was besieging Taif.
5.615:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr: When Allah's Apostle besieged
Taif and could not conquer its people, he said, "We will
return (to Medina) If Allah wills." That distressed the
Companions (of the Prophet and they said, "Shall we go away
without conquering it (i.e. the Fort of Taif)?" Once the
Prophet said, "Let us return." Then the Prophet said (to
them), "Fight tomorrow." They fought and (many of them) got
wounded, whereupon the Prophet said, "We will return (to
Medina) tomorrow if Allah wills." That delighted them,
whereupon the Prophet smiled. The sub−narrator, Sufyan said
once, "(The Prophet) smiled."
5.616:
Narrated Abu `Uthman: I heard from Sa`d, the first man who has
thrown an arrow in Allah's Cause, and from Abu Bakra who
jumped over the wall of the Ta'if Fort along with a few
persons and came to the Prophet. They both said, "We heard the
Prophet saying, " If somebody claims to be the son of somebody
other than his father knowingly, he will be denied Paradise
(i.e. he will not enter Paradise).' " Narrated Ma`mar from
`Asim from Abu Al−`Aliya or Abu `Uthman An−Nahdi who said. "I
heard Sa`d and Abu Bakra narrating from the Prophet." `Asim
said, "I said (to him), 'Very trustworthy persons have
narrated to you.' He said, 'Yes, one of them was the first to
throw an arrow in Allah's Cause and the other came to the
Prophet in a group of thirty−three persons from Ta'if.' 5.617:
Narrated Abu Burda: Abu Musa said, "I was with the Prophet
when he was encamping at Al−Jarana (a place) between Mecca and
Medina and Bilal was with him. A bedouin came to the Prophet
and said, "Won't you fulfill what you have promised me?" The
Prophet said, 'Rejoice (at what I will do for you).' The
bedouin said, "(You have said to me) rejoice too often." Then
the Prophet turned to me (i.e. Abu Musa) and Bilal in an angry
mood and said, 'The bedouin has refused the good tidings, so
you both accept them.' Bilal and I said, 'We accept them.'
Then the Prophet asked for a drinking bowl containing water
and washed his hands and face in it, and then took a mouthful
of water and threw it therein saying (to us), "Drink (some of)
it and pour (some) over your faces and chests and be happy at
the good tidings." So they both took the drinking bowl and did
as instructed. Um Salama called from behind a screen, "Keep
something (of the water for your mother." So they left some of
it for her.
5.618:
Narrated Safwan bin Ya`la bin Umaiya: Ya`la used to say, "I
wish I could see Allah's Apostle at the time when he is being
inspired divinely." Ya`la added "While the Prophet was at
Al−Ja'rana, shaded with a cloth sheet (in the form of a tent)
and there were staying with him, some of his companions under
it, suddenly there came to him a bedouin wearing a cloak and
perfumed extravagantly. He said, "O Allah's Apostle ! What is
your opinion regarding a man who assumes the state of Ihram
for `Umra wearing a cloak after applying perfume to his body?"
`Umar signalled with his hand to Ya`la to come (near). Ya`la
came and put his head (underneath that cloth sheet) and saw
the Prophet red−faced and when that state (of the Prophet )
was over, he said, "Where is he who as already asked me about
the `Umra?" The man was looked for and brought to the Prophet
The Prophet said (to him), "As for the perfume you have
applied to your body, wash it off your body) thrice, and take
off your cloak, and then do in your `Umra the rites you do in
your Hajj."
5.619:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Zaid bin `Asim: When Allah gave to His
Apostle the war booty on the day of Hunain, he distributed
that booty amongst those whose hearts have been (recently)
reconciled (to Islam), but did not give anything to the Ansar.
So they seemed to have felt angry and sad as they did not get
the same as other people had got. The Prophet then delivered a
sermon before them, saying, "O, the assembly of Ansar! Didn't
I find you astray, and then Allah guided you on the Right Path
through me? You were divided into groups, and Allah brought
you together through me; you were poor and Allah made you rich
through me." Whatever the Prophet said , they (i.e. the Ansar)
said, "Allah and his Apostle have more favours to do." The
Prophet said, "What stops you from answering the Apostle of
Allah?" But whatever he said to them, they replied, "Allah and
His Apostle have more favours to do." The Prophet then said,
"If you wish you could say: 'You came to us in such−and−such
state (at Medina).' Wouldn't you be willing to see the people
go away with sheep and camels while you go with the Prophet to
your homes? But for the migration, I would have been one of
the Ansar, and if the people took their way through a valley
or mountain pass, I would select the valley or mountain pass
of the Ansar. The Ansar are Shiar (i.e. those clothes which
are in direct contact with the body and worn inside the other
garments), and the people are Dithar (i.e. those clothes which
are not in direct contact with the body and are worn over
other garments). No doubt, you will see other people favoured
over you, so you should be patient till you meet me at the
Tank (of Kauthar).
5.620:
Narrated Anas Bin Malik: When Allah gave Allah's Apostle what
he gave of the properties of the Hawazin tribe as a war booty,
the Prophet started giving some men 100 camels each. The Ansar
(then) said, "May Allah forgive Allah's Apostles as he gives
to Quraish and leaves us although our swords are still
dribbling with the blood of Quraish." Allah Apostle was
informed of their statement, so he sent for the Ansar and
gathered them in a leather tent, and did not call anybody else
along with them. When they al I gathered, the Prophet got up
and said, "What is this talk being informed to me about you?"
The learned men amongst the Ansar said, "O Allah's Apostle!
Our chiefs did not say anything, but some people amongst us
who are younger in age said. 'May Allah forgive Allah's
Apostle as he gives (of the booty) to Quraish and leaves us
though our swords are still dribbling with their blood." The
Prophet said, "I give to these men who have newly deserted
heathenism (and embraced Islam) so as to attract their hearts.
Won't you be happy that the people take the wealth while you
take the Prophet with you to your homes? By Allah, what you
are taking is better than whatever they are taking." They
(i.e. the Ansar) said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are satisfied."
The Prophet then said to them. "You will find others favored
over you greatly, so be patient till you meet Allah and His
Apostle and I will be at the Tank then." Anas added: But they
did not remain patient.
5.621:
Narrated Anas:
When it was the day of the Conquest (of Mecca) Allah's Apostle
distributed the war booty amongst the people of Quraish which
caused the Ansar to become angry. So the Prophet said, "Won't
you be pleased that the people take the worldly things and you
take Allah's Apostle with you? "They said, "Yes." The Prophet
said, "If the people took their way through a valley or
mountain pass, I would take my way through the Ansar's valley
or mountain pass."
5.622:
Narrated Anas:
When it was the day of (the battle of) Hunain, the Prophet
confronted the tribe of Hawazin while there were ten−thousand
(men) besides the Tulaqa' (i.e. those who had embraced Islam
on the day of the Conquest of Mecca) with the Prophet. When
they (i.e. Muslims) fled, the Prophet said, "O the group of
Ansari" They replied, "Labbaik, O Allah's Apostle and Sadaik!
We are under your command." Then the Prophet got down (from
his mule) and said, "I am Allah's Slave and His Apostle." Then
the pagans were defeated. The Prophet distributed the war
booty amongst the Tulaqa and Muhajirin (i.e. Emigrants) and
did not give anything to the Ansar. So the Ansar spoke (i.e.
were dissatisfied) and he called them and made them enter a
leather tent and said, Won't you be pleased that the people
take the sheep and camels, and you take Allah's Apostle along
with you?" The Prophet added, "If the people took their way
through a valley and the Ansar took their way through a
mountain pass, then I would choose a mountain pass of the
Ansar."
5.623:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet gathered some people of Ansar and said, "The
People of Quraish are still close to their Pre−lslamic period
of ignorance and have suffered a lot, and I want to help them
and attract their hearts (by giving them the war booty). Won't
you be pleased that the people take the worldly things) and
you take Allah's Apostle with you to your homes?" They said,
"Yes, (i.e. we are pleased with this distribution)." The
Prophet said, "'If the people took their way through a valley
and the Ansar took their way through a mountain pass, then I
would take the Ansar's valley or the Ansar's mountain pass."
5.624:
Narrated `Abdullah: When the Prophet distribute the war booty
of Hunain, a man from the Ansar said, "He (i.e. the Prophet),
did not intend to please Allah in this distribution." So I
came to the Prophet and informed him of that (statement)
whereupon the color of his face changed and he said, "May
Allah bestow His Mercy on Moses, for he was troubled with more
than this, but he remained patient."
5.625:
Narrated `Abdullah: When it was the day of Hunain, Prophet
favored some people over some others (in the distribution of
the booty). He gave Al−Aqra' one−hundred camels and gave
Uyaina the same, and also gave other people (of Quraish). A
man said, "Allah's Pleasure was not the aim, in this
distribution." I said, "I will inform the Prophet (about your
statement)." The Prophet said, "May Allah bestow Mercy on
Moses, for he was troubled more this but he remained patient."
5.626:
Narrated Anas Bin Malik: When it was the day (of the battle)
of Hunain, the tributes of Hawazin and Ghatafan and others,
along with their animals and offspring (and wives) came to
fight against the Prophet The Prophet had with him, ten
thousand men and some of the Tulaqa. The companions fled,
leaving the Prophet alone. The Prophet then made two calls
which were clearly distinguished from each other. He turned
right and said, "O the group of Ansar!" They said, "Labbaik, O
Allah's Apostle! Rejoice, for we are with you!" Then he turned
left and said, "O the group of Ansar!" They said, "Labbaik! O
Allah's Apostle! Rejoice, for we are with you!" The Prophet at
that time, was riding on a white mule; then he dismounted and
said, "I am Allah's Slave and His Apostle." The infidels then
were defeated, and on that day the Prophet gained a large
amount of booty which he distributed amongst the Muhajirin and
the Tulaqa and did not give anything to the Ansar. The Ansar
said, "When there is a difficulty, we are called, but the
booty is given to other than us." The news reached the Prophet
and he gathered them in a leather tent and said, "What is this
news reaching me from you, O the group of Ansar?" They kept
silent, He added," O the group of Ansar! Won't you be happy
that the people take the worldly things and you take Allah's
Apostle to your homes reserving him for yourself?" They said,
"Yes." Then the Prophet said, "If the people took their way
through a valley, and the Ansar took their way through a
mountain pass, surely, I would take the Ansar's mountain
pass." Hisham said, "O Abu Hamza (i.e. Anas)! Did you witness
that? " He replied, "And how could I be absent from him?"
5.627:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet sent a Sariya towards Najd and
I was in it, and our share from the booty amounted to twelve
camels each, and we were given an additional camel each. So we
returned with thirteen camels each.
5.628:
Narrated Salim's father: The Prophet sent Khalid bin Al−Walid
to the tribe of Jadhima and Khalid invited them to Islam but
they could not express themselves by saying, "Aslamna (i.e. we
have embraced Islam)," but they started saying "Saba'na!
Saba'na (i.e. we have come out of one religion to another)."
Khalid kept on killing (some of) them and taking (some of)
them as captives and gave every one of us his Captive. When
there came the day then Khalid ordered that each man (i.e.
Muslim soldier) should kill his captive, I said, "By Allah, I
will not kill my captive, and none of my companions will kill
his captive." When we reached the Prophet, we mentioned to him
the whole story. On that, the Prophet raised both his hands
and said twice, "O Allah! I am free from what Khalid has
done."
5.629:
Narrated `Ali:
The Prophet sent a Sariya under the command of a man from the
Ansar and ordered the soldiers to obey him. He (i.e. the
commander) became angry and said "Didn't the Prophet order you
to obey me!" They replied, "Yes." He said, "Collect fire−wood
for me." So they collected it. He said, "Make a fire." When
they made it, he said, "Enter it (i.e. the fire)." So they
intended to do that and started holding each other and saying,
"We run towards (i.e. take refuge with) the Prophet from the
fire." They kept on saying that till the fire was extinguished
and the anger of the commander abated. When that news reached
the Prophet he said, "If they had entered it (i.e. the fire),
they would not have come out of it till the Day of
Resurrection. Obedience (to somebody) is required when he
enjoins what is good."
5.630:
Narrated Abu Burda: Allah's Apostle sent Abu Musa and Mu`adh
bin Jabal to Yemen. He sent each of them to administer a
province as Yemen consisted of two provinces. The Prophet said
(to them), "Facilitate things for the people and do not make
things difficult for them (Be kind and lenient (both of you)
with the people, and do not be hard on them) and give the
people good tidings and do not repulse them. So each of them
went to carry on his job. So when any one of them toured his
province and happened to come near (the border of the province
of) his companion, he would visit him and greet him. Once
Mu`adh toured that part of his state which was near (the
border of the province of) his companion Abu Musa. Mu`adh came
riding his mule till he reached Abu Musa and saw him sitting,
and the people had gathered around him. Behold! There was a
man tied with his hands behind his neck. Mu`adh said to Abu
Musa, "O `Abdullah bin Qais! What is this?" Abu Musa replied.
"This man has reverted to Heathenism after embracing Islam."
Mu`adh said, "I will not dismount till he is killed." Abu Musa
replied, "He has been brought for this purpose, so come down."
Mu`adh said, "I will not dismount till he is killed." So Abu
Musa ordered that he be killed, and he was killed. Then Mu`adh
dismounted and said, "O `Abdullah (bin Qais)! How do you
recite the Qur'an ?" Abu Musa said, "I recite the Qur'an
regularly at intervals and piecemeal. How do you recite it O
Mu`adh?" Mu`adh said, "I sleep in the first part of the night
and then get up after having slept for the time devoted for my
sleep and then recite as much as Allah has written for me. So
I seek Allah's Reward for both my sleep as well as my prayer
(at night).
5.631:
Narrated Abi Burda: That Abu Musa Al−Ash`ari said that the
Prophet had sent him to Yemen and he asked the Prophet about
certain (alcoholic) drink which used to be prepared there The
Prophet said, "What are they?" Abu Musa said, "Al−Bit' and
Al−Mizr?" He said, "Al−Bit is an alcoholic drink made from
honey; and Al−Mizr is an alcoholic drink made from barley."
The Prophet said, "All intoxicants are prohibited."
5.632:
Narrated Abu Burda: That the Prophet sent his (i.e. Abu
Burda's) grandfather, Abu Musa and Mu`adh to Yemen and said to
both of them "Facilitate things for the people (Be kind and
lenient) and do not make things difficult (for people), and
give them good tidings, and do not repulse them and both of
you should obey each other." Abu Musa said, "O Allah's
Prophet! In our land there is an alcoholic drink (prepared)
from barley called Al−Mizr, and another (prepared) from honey,
called Al−Bit"' The Prophet said, "All intoxicants are
prohibited." Then both of them proceeded and Mu`adh asked Abu
Musa, "How do you recite the Qur'an?" Abu Musa replied, "I
recite it while I am standing, sitting or riding my riding
animals, at intervals and piecemeal." Mu`adh said, "But I
sleep and then get up. I sleep and hope for Allah's Reward for
my sleep as I seek His Reward for my night prayer." Then he
(i.e. Mu`adh) pitched a tent and they started visiting each
other. Once Mu`adh paid a visit to Abu Musa and saw a chained
man. Mu`adh asked, "What is this?" Abu Musa said, "(He was) a
Jew who embraced Islam and has now turned apostate." Mu`adh
said, "I will surely chop off his neck!"
5.633:
Narrated Abu Musa Al−Ash`ari: Allah's Apostle sent me (as a
governor) to the land of my people, and I came while Allah's
Apostle was encamping at a place called Al−Abtah. The Prophet
said, "Have you made the intention to perform the Hajj, O
`Abdullah bin Qais?" I replied, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle!" He
said, "What did you say?" I replied, "I said, 'Labbaik' and
expressed the same intention as yours." He said, "Have you
driven the Hadi along with you?" I replied, "No, I did not
drive the Hadi." He said, "So perform the Tawaf of the Ka`ba
and then the Sai, between Safa and Marwa and then finish the
state of Ihram." So I did the same, and one of the women of
(the tribe of) Banu−Qais combed my hair. We continued follow
in that tradition till the caliphate of `Umar.
5.634:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Allah's Apostle said to Mu`adh bin Jabal
when he sent him to Yemen. "You will come to the people of
Scripture, and when you reach them, invite them to testify
that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah and that
Muhammad is His Apostle. And if they obey you in that, then
tell them that Allah has enjoined on them five prayers to be
performed every day and night. And if they obey you in that,
then tell them that Allah has enjoined on them Sadaqa (i.e.
rak`at) to be taken from the rich amongst them and given to
the poor amongst them. And if they obey you in that, then be
cautious! Don't take their best properties (as Zakat) and be
afraid of the curse of an oppressed person as there is no
screen between his invocation and Allah.
5.635:
Narrated `Amr bin Maimuin: When Mu`adh arrived at Yemen, he
led them (i.e. the people of Yemen) in the Fajr prayer wherein
he recited: 'Allah took Abraham as a Khalil.' A man amongst
the people said, "(How) glad the mother of Abraham is!" (In
another narration) `Amr said, "The Prophet sent Mu`adh to
Yemen and he (led the people) in the Fajr prayer and recited:
'Allah took Abraham as a Khalil. A man behind him said, "(How)
glad the mother of Abraham is!"
5.636:
Narrated Al−Bara:
Allah's Apostle sent us to Yemen along with Khalid bin
Al−Walid. Later on he sent `Ali bin Abi Talib in his place.
The Prophet said to `Ali, "Give Khalid's companions the choice
of either staying with you (in Yemen) or returning to Medina."
I was one of those who stayed with him (i.e. `Ali) and got
several Awaq (of gold from the war booty.
5.637:
Narrated Buraida:
The Prophet sent `Ali to Khalid to bring the Khumus (of the
booty) and I hated `Ali, and `Ali had taken a bath (after a
sexual act with a slave−girl from the Khumus). I said to
Khalid, "Don't you see this (i.e. `Ali)?" When we reached the
Prophet I mentioned that to him. He said, "O Buraida! Do you
hate `Ali?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Do you hate him, for he
deserves more than that from the Khumlus."
5.638:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri: `Ali bin Abi Talib sent a piece
of gold not yet taken out of its ore, in a tanned leather
container to Allah's Apostle . Allah's Apostle distributed
that amongst four Persons: 'Uyaina bin Badr, Aqra bin H`Abis,
Zaid Al−Khail and the fourth was either Alqama or Amir bin
at−Tufail. On that, one of his companions said, "We are more
deserving of this (gold) than these (persons)." When that news
reached the Prophet , he said, "Don't you trust me though I am
the truth worthy man of the One in the Heavens, and I receive
the news of Heaven (i.e. Divine Inspiration) both in the
morning and in the evening?" There got up a man with sunken
eyes, raised cheek bones, raised forehead, a thick beard, a
shaven head and a waist sheet that was tucked up and he said,
"O Allah's Apostle! Be afraid of Allah." The Prophet said,
"Woe to you! Am I not of all the people of the earth the most
entitled to fear Allah?" Then that man went away. Khalid bin
Al−Wahd said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall I chop his neck off?"
The Prophet said, "No, for he may offer prayers." Khalid said,
"Numerous are those who offer prayers and say by their tongues
(i.e. mouths) what is not in their hearts." Allah's Apostle
said, "I have not been ordered (by Allah) to search the hearts
of the people or cut open their bellies." Then the Prophet
looked at him (i.e. that man) while the latter was going away
and said, "From the offspring of this (man there will come out
(people) who will recite the Qur'an continuously and elegantly
but it will not exceed their throats. (They will neither
understand it nor act upon it). They would go out of the
religion (i.e. Islam) as an arrow goes through a game's body."
I think he also said, "If I should be present at their time I
would kill them as the nations a Thamud were killed."
5.639:
Narrated 'Ata:
Jabir said, "The Prophet ordered `Ali to keep the state of
Ihram." Jabir added, "Ali bin Abi Talib returned (from Yemen)
when he was a governor (of Yemen). The Prophet said to him,
'With what intention have you assumed the state of Ihram?'
`Ali said, "I have assumed Ihram with an intention as that of
the Prophet." Then the Prophet said (to him), 'Offer a Hadi
and keep the state of Ihram in which you are now.' `Ali
slaughtered a Hadi on his behalf."
5.640:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet assumed the state of Ihram for
Umra and Hajj, and we to assumed it for Hajj with him. When we
arrived at Mecca, the Prophet said, "Whoever does not possess
a Hadi should regard his Ihram for Umra only." The Prophet had
a Hadi with him. `Ali bin Abi Talib came to us from Yemen with
the intention of performing Hajj. The Prophet said (to him),
"With what intention have you assumed the Ihram, for your wife
is with us?" `Ali said, "I assumed the lhram with the same
intention as that of the Prophet ." The Prophet said, "Keep on
the state of lhram, as we have got the Hadi."
5.641:
Narrated Jarir:
In the Pre−lslamic Period of Ignorance there was a house
called Dhu−l−Khalasa or Al−Ka`ba Al−Yamaniya or Al−Ka`ba
Ash−Shamiya. The Prophet said to me, "Won't you relieve me
from Dhu−l−Khalasa?" So I set out with one−hundred−and−fifty
riders, and we dismantled it and killed whoever was present
there. Then I came to the Prophet and informed him, and he
invoked good upon us and Al−Ahmas (tribe) .
5.642:
Narrated Qais:
Jarir said to me, The Prophet said to me, "Won't you relieve
me from Dhu−l−Khalasa?" And that was a house (in Yemem
belonging to the tribe of) Khatham called Al−Ka`ba Al
Yamaniya. I proceeded with one−hundred and−fifty cavalry from
Ahmas (tribe) who were horse riders. I used not to sit firm on
horses, so the Prophet stroke me over my chest till I saw the
mark of his fingers over my chest, and then he said, 'O Allah!
Make him (i.e. Jarir) firm and one who guides others and is
guided on the right path." So Jarir proceeded to it dismantled
and burnt it, and then sent a messenger to Allah's Apostle.
The messenger of Jarir said (to the Prophet), "By Him Who sent
you with the Truth, I did not leave that place till it was
like a scabby camel." The Prophet blessed the horses of Ahmas
and their men five times.
5.643:
Narrated Qais:
Jarir said "Allah's Apostle said to me, "Won't you relieve me
from Dhul−Khalasa?" I replied, "Yes, (I will relieve you)." So
I proceeded along with one−hundred and fifty cavalry from
Ahmas tribe who were skillful in riding horses. I used not to
sit firm over horses, so I informed the Prophet of that, and
he stroke my chest with his hand till I saw the marks of his
hand over my chest and he said, O Allah! Make him firm and one
who guides others and is guided (on the right path).' Since
then I have never fallen from a horse. Dhul−l−−Khulasa was a
house in Yemen belonging to the tribe of Khatham and Bajaila,
and in it there were idols which were worshipped, and it was
called Al−Ka`ba." Jarir went there, burnt it with fire and
dismantled it. When Jarir reached Yemen, there was a man who
used to foretell and give good omens by casting arrows of
divination. Someone said to him. "The messenger of Allah's
Apostle is present here and if he should get hold of you, he
would chop off your neck." One day while he was using them
(i.e. arrows of divination), Jarir stopped there and said to
him, "Break them (i.e. the arrows) and testify that None has
the right to be worshipped except Allah, or else I will chop
off your neck." So the man broke those arrows and testified
that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah. Then
Jarir sent a man called Abu Artata from the tribe of Ahmas to
the Prophet to convey the good news (of destroying
Dhu−l−Khalasa). So when the messenger reached the Prophet, he
said, "O Allah's Apostle! By Him Who sent you with the Truth,
I did not leave it till it was like a scabby camel." Then the
Prophet blessed the horses of Ahmas and their men five times.
5.644:
Narrated Abu `Uthman: Allah's Apostle sent `Amr bin Al As as
the commander of the troops of Dhat−us−Salasil. `Amr bin
Al−`As said, "(On my return) I came to the Prophet and said,
'Which people do you love most?' He replied, `Aisha.' I said,
'From amongst the men?' He replied, 'Her father (Abu Bakr)'. I
said, 'Whom (do you love) next?' He replied, "`Umar.' Then he
counted the names of many men, and I became silent for fear
that he might regard me as the last of them."
5.645:
Narrated Jarir:
While I was at Yemen, I met two men from Yemen called Dhu Kala
and Dhu `Amr, and I started telling them about Allah's
Apostle. Dhu `Amr said to me, "If what you are saying about
your friend (i.e. the Prophet) is true, then he has died three
days ago." Then both of them accompanied me to Medina, and
when we had covered some distance on the way to Medina, we saw
some riders coming from Medina. We asked them and they said,
"Allah's Apostle has died and Abu Bakr has been appointed as
the Caliph and the people are in a good state.' Then they
said, "Tell your friend (Abu Bakr) that we have come (to visit
him), and if Allah will, we will come again." So they both
returned to Yemen. When I told Abu Bakr their statement, he
said to me, "I wish you had brought them (to me)." Afterwards
I met Dhu `Amr, and he said to me, "O Jarir! You have done a
favor to me and I am going to tell you something, i.e. you,
the nation of 'Arabs, will remain prosperous as long as you
choose and appoint another chief whenever a former one is
dead. But if authority is obtained by the power of the sword,
then the rulers will become kings who will get angry, as kings
get angry, and will be delighted as kings get delighted."
5.646:
Narrated Wahab bin Kaisan: Jabir bin `Abdullah said, "Allah's
Apostle sent troops to the sea coast and appointed Abu 'Ubaida
bin Al−Jarrah as their commander, and they were 300 (men). We
set out, and we had covered some distance on the way, when our
journey food ran short. So Abu 'Ubaida ordered that all the
food present with the troops be collected, and it was
collected. Our journey food was dates, and Abu Ubaida kept on
giving us our daily ration from it little by little
(piecemeal) till it decreased to such an extent that we did
not receive except a date each." I asked (Jabir), "How could
one date benefit you?" He said, "We came to know its value
when even that finished." Jabir added, "Then we reached the
sea (coast) where we found a fish like a small mountain. The
people (i.e. troops) ate of it for 18 nights (i.e. days). Then
Abu 'Ubaida ordered that two of its ribs be fixed on the
ground (in the form of an arch) and that a she−camel be ridden
and passed under them. So it passed under them without
touching them."
5.647:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: Allah's Apostle sent us who were
three−hundred riders under the command of Abu Ubaida bin
Al−Jarrah in order to watch the caravan of the Quraish pagans.
We stayed at the seashore for half a month and were struck
with such severe hunger that we ate even the Khabt (i.e. the
leaves of the Salam, a thorny desert tree), and because of
that, the army was known as Jaish−ul−Khabt. Then the sea threw
out, an animal (i.e. a fish) called Al−`Anbar and we ate of
that for half a month, and rubbed its fat on our bodies till
our bodies returned to their original state (i.e. became
strong and healthy). Abu Ubaida took one of its ribs, fixed it
on the ground; then he went to the tallest man of his
companions (to let him pass under the rib). Once Sufyan said,
"He took a rib from its parts and fixed it, and then took a
man and camel and they passed from underneath it (without
touching it). " Jabir added: There was a man amongst the
people who slaughtered three camels and then slaughtered
another three camels and then slaughtered other three camels,
and then Abu 'Ubaida forbade him to do so. Narrated Abu Salih:
Qais bin Sa`d said to his father. "I was present in the army
and the people were struck with severe hunger." He said, "You
should have slaughtered (camels) (for them)." Qais said, "I
did slaughter camels but they were hungry again. He said, "You
should have slaughtered (camels) again." Qais said, "I did
slaughter (camels) again but the people felt hungry again." He
said, "You should have slaughtered (camels) again." Qais said,
"I did slaughter (camels) again, but the people again felt
hungry." He said, "You should have slaughtered (camels)
again." Qais said, "But I was forbidden (by Abu 'Ubaida this
time).
5.648:
Narrated Jabir:
We set out in the army of Al−Khabt and Abu Ubaida was the
commander of the troops. We were struck with severe hunger and
the sea threw out a dead fish the like of which we had never
seen, and it was called Al−`Anbar. We ate of it for half a
month. Abu Ubaida took (and fixed) one of its bones and a
rider passed underneath it (without touching it). (Jabir
added:) Abu 'Ubaida said (to us), "Eat (of that fish)." When
we arrived at Medina, we informed the Prophet about that, and
he said, "Eat, for it is food Allah has brought out for you,
and feed us if you have some of it." So some of them gave him
(of that fish) and he ate it.
5.649:
Narrated Abu Huraira: That during the Hajj in which the
Prophet had made Abu Bakr As Siddiq as chief of the, Hajj
before the Hajj−ul−Wida,' on the day of Nahr, Abu Bakr sent
him along with a group of persons to announce to the people.
"No pagan is permitted to perform Hajj after this year, and
nobody is permitted to perform the Tawaf of the Ka`ba naked."
5.650:
Narrated Al−Bara:
The last Sura which was revealed in full was Baraa (i.e.
Sura−at−Tauba), and the last Sura (i.e. part of a Sura) which
was revealed was the last Verses of Sura−an−Nisa':−− "They ask
you for a legal decision. Say: Allah directs (thus) About
those who have No descendants or ascendants As heirs." (
4.177)
5.651:
Narrated `Imran bin Hussein: A delegation from Banu Tamim came
to the Prophet . The Prophet said, "Accept the good tidings, O
Banu Tamim!" They said, "O Allah's Apostle! You have given us
good tidings, so give us (something)." Signs of displeasure
appeared on his face. Then another delegation from Yemen came
and he said (to them), "Accept the good tidings, for Banu
Tamim refuses to accept them." They replied, "We have accepted
them, O Allah's Apostle!"
5.652:
Narrated Abu Huraira: I have not ceased to like Banu Tamim
ever since I heard of three qualities attributed to them by
Allah's Apostle (He said): They, out of all my followers, will
be the strongest opponent of Ad−Dajjal; `Aisha had a
slave−girl from them, and the Prophet told her to manumit her
as she was from the descendants of (the Prophet) Ishmael; and,
when their Zakat was brought, the Prophet said, "This is the
Zakat of my people."
5.653:
Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika: `Abdullah bin Az−Zubair said that a
group of riders belonging to Banu Tamim came to the Prophet,
Abu Bakr said (to the Prophet ), "Appoint Al−Qa'qa bin Mabad
bin Zurara as (their) ruler." `Umar said (to the Prophet).
"No! But appoint Al−Aqra bin H`Abis." Thereupon Abu Bakr said
(to `Umar). "You just wanted to oppose me." `Umar replied. "I
did not want to oppose you." So both of them argued so much
that their voices became louder, and then the following Divine
Verses were revealed in that connection:−− "O you who believe
! Do not be forward in the presence of Allah and His
Apostle..." (till the end of Verse)...(49.1)
5.654:
Narrated Abu Jamra: I said to Ibn `Abbas, "I have an
earthenware pot containing Nabidh (i.e. water and dates or
grapes) for me, and I drink of it while it is sweet. If I
drink much of it and stay with the people for a long time, I
get afraid that they may discover it (for I will appear as if
I were drunk). Ibn `Abbas said, "A delegation of `Abdul Qais
came to Allah's Apostle and he said, "Welcome, O people!
Neither will you have disgrace nor will you regret." They
said, "O Allah's Apostle! There are the Mudar pagans between
you and us, so we cannot come to you except in the sacred
Months. So please teach us some orders on acting upon which we
will enter Paradise. Besides, we will preach that to our
people who are behind us." The Prophet said, "I order you to
do four things and forbid you from four things (I order you):
To believe in Allah...Do you know what is to believe in Allah?
That is to testify that None has the right to be worshipped
except Allah: (I order you also to offer prayers perfectly to
pay Zakat; and to fast the month of Ramadan and to give the
Khumus (i.e. one−fifth of the booty) (for Allah's Sake). I
forbid you from four other things (i.e. the wine that is
prepared in) Ad−Dubba, An−Naquir, Az−Hantam and Al−Muzaffat.
(See Hadith No. 50 Vol. 1)
5.655:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The delegation of `Abdul Qais came to the
Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle We belong to the tribe of
Rabi`a. The infidels of Mudar tribe intervened between us and
you so that we cannot come to you except in the Sacred Months,
so please order us some things we may act on and invite those
left behind to act on. The Prophet said, "I order you to
observe four things and forbid you from four things: (I order
you) to believe in Allah, i.e. to testify that None has the
right to be worshipped except Allah." The Prophet pointed with
finger indicating one and added, "To offer prayers perfectly:
to give Zakat, and to give one−fifth of the booty you win (for
Allah's Sake). I forbid you to use Ad−Dubba', An−Naquir,
Al−Hantam and Al−Muzaffat, (Utensils used for preparing
alcoholic liquors and drinks).
5.656:
Narrated Bukair:
That Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn `Abbas told him that Ibn
`Abbas, `Abdur−Rahman bin Azhar and Al−Miswar bin Makhrama
sent him to `Aisha saying, "Pay her our greetings and ask her
about our offering of the two−rak`at after `Asr Prayer, and
tell her that we have been informed that you offer these two
rak`at while we have heard that the Prophet had forbidden
their offering." Ibn `Abbas said, "I and `Umar used to beat
the people for their offering them." Kuraib added, "I entered
upon her and delivered their message to her.' She said, 'Ask
Um Salama.' So, I informed them (of `Aisha's answer) and they
sent me to Um Salama for the same purpose as they sent me to
`Aisha. Um Salama replied, 'I heard the Prophet forbidding the
offering of these two rak`at. Once the Prophet offered the
`Asr prayer, and then came to me. And at that time some Ansari
women from the Tribe of Banu Haram were with me. Then (the
Prophet ) offered those two rak`at, and I sent my (lady)
servant to him, saying, 'Stand beside him and say (to him): Um
Salama says, 'O Allah's Apostle! Didn't I hear you forbidding
the offering of these two rak`at (after the `Asr prayer yet I
see you offering them?' And if he beckons to you with his
hand, then wait behind.' So the lady slave did that and the
Prophet beckoned her with his hand, and she stayed behind, and
when the Prophet finished his prayer, he said, 'O the daughter
of Abu Umaiya (i.e. Um Salama), You were asking me about these
two rak`at after the `Asr prayer. In fact, some people from
the tribe of `Abdul Qais came to me to embrace Islam and
busied me so much that I did not offer the two rak`at which
were offered after Zuhr compulsory prayer, and these two
rak`at (you have seen me offering) make up for those."
5.657:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The first Friday (i.e. Jumua) prayer
offered after the Friday Prayer offered at the Mosque of
Allah's Apostle was offered at the mosque of `Abdul Qais
situated at Jawathi, that is a village at Al Bahrain .
5.658:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet sent some cavalry towards
Najd and they brought a man from the tribe of Banu Hanifa who
was called Thumama bin Uthal. They fastened him to one of the
pillars of the Mosque. The Prophet went to him and said, "What
have you got, O Thumama?" He replied," I have got a good
thought, O Muhammad! If you should kill me, you would kill a
person who has already killed somebody, and if you should set
me free, you would do a favor to one who is grateful, and if
you want property, then ask me whatever wealth you want." He
was left till the next day when the Prophet said to him, "What
have you got, Thumama? He said, "What I told you, i.e. if you
set me free, you would do a favor to one who is grateful." The
Prophet left him till the day after, when he said, "What have
you got, O Thumama?" He said, "I have got what I told you. "On
that the Prophet said, "Release Thumama." So he (i.e. Thumama)
went to a garden of date−palm trees near to the Mosque, took a
bath and then entered the Mosque and said, "I testify that
None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, and also
testify that Muhammad is His Apostle! By Allah, O Muhammad!
There was no face on the surface of the earth most disliked by
me than yours, but now your face has become the most beloved
face to me. By Allah, there was no religion most disliked by
me than yours, but now it is the most beloved religion to me.
By Allah, there was no town most disliked by me than your
town, but now it is the most beloved town to me. Your cavalry
arrested me (at the time) when I was intending to perform the
`Umra. And now what do you think?" The Prophet gave him good
tidings (congratulated him) and ordered him to perform the
`Umra. So when he came to Mecca, someone said to him, "You
have become a Sabian?" Thumama replied, "No! By Allah, I have
embraced Islam with Muhammad, Apostle of Allah. No, by Allah!
Not a single grain of wheat will come to you from Jamaica
unless the Prophet gives his permission."
5.659:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Musailima Al−Kadhdhab came during the
lifetime of the Prophet and started saying, "If Muhammad gives
me the rule after him, I will follow him." And he came to
Medina with a great number of the people of his tribe. Allah's
Apostle went to him in the company of Thabit bin Qais bin
Shammas, and at that time, Allah's Apostle had a stick of a
date−palm tree in his hand. When he (i.e. the Prophet )
stopped near Musailima while the latter was amidst his
companions, he said to him, "If you ask me for this piece (of
stick), I will not give it to you, and Allah's Order you
cannot avoid, (but you will be destroyed), and if you turn
your back from this religion, then Allah will destroy you. And
I think you are the same person who was shown to me in my
dream, and this is Thabit bin Qais who will answer your
questions on my behalf." Then the Prophet went away from him.
I asked about the statement of Allah's Apostle : "You seem to
be the same person who was shown to me in my dream," and Abu
Huraira informed me that Allah's Apostle said, "When I was
sleeping, I saw (in a dream) two bangles of gold on my hands
and that worried me. And then I was inspired Divinely in the
dream that I should blow on them, so I blew on them and both
the bangles flew away. And I interpreted it that two liars
(who would claim to be prophets) would appear after me. One of
them has proved to be Al Ansi and the other, Musailima."
5.660:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "While I was
sleeping, I was given the treasures of the earth and two gold
bangles were put in my hands, and I did not like that, but I
received the inspiration that I should blow on them, and I did
so, and both of them vanished. I interpreted it as referring
to the two liars between whom I am present; the ruler of Sana
and the Ruler of Yamaha."
5.661:
Narrated Abu Raja Al−Utaridi: We used to worship stones, and
when we found a better stone than the first one, we would
throw the first one and take the latter, but if we could not
get a stone then we would collect some earth (i.e. soil) and
then bring a sheep and milk that sheep over it, and perform
the Tawaf around it. When the month of Rajab came, we used (to
stop the military actions), calling this month the iron
remover, for we used to remove and throw away the iron parts
of every spear and arrow in the month of Rajab. Abu Raja'
added: When the Prophet sent with (Allah's) Message, I was a
boy working as a shepherd of my family camels. When we heard
the news about the appearance of the Prophet, we ran to the
fire, i.e. to Musailima al−Kadhdhab.
5.662:
Narrated Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah bin `Utba: We were informed
that Musailima Al−Kadhdhab had arrived in Medina and stayed in
the house of the daughter of Al−Harith. The daughter of
Al−Harith bin Kuraiz was his wife and she was the mother of
`Abdullah bin 'Amir. There came to him Allah's Apostle
accompanied by Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas who was called the
orator of Allah's Apostle. Allah's Apostle had a stick in his
hand then. The Prophet stopped before Musailima and spoke to
him. Musailima said to him, "If you wish, we would not
interfere between you and the rule, on condition that the rule
will be ours after you... The Prophet said, "If you asked me
for this stick, I would not give it to you. I think you are
the same person who was shown to me in a dream. And this is
Thabit bin Al−Qais who will answer you on my behalf." The
Prophet then went away. I asked Ibn `Abbas about the dream
Allah's Apostle had mentioned. Ibn `Abbas said, "Someone told
me that the Prophet said, "When I was sleeping, I saw in a
dream that two gold bangles were put in my hands, and that
frightened me and made me dislike them. Then I was allowed to
blow on them, and when I blew at them, both of them flew. Then
I interpreted them as two liars who would appear.' One of them
was Al−`Ansi who was killed by Fairuz in Yemen and the other
was Musailima Al−Kadhdbab."
5.663:
Narrated Hudhaifa: Al−`Aqib and Saiyid, the rulers of Najran,
came to Allah's Apostle with the intention of doing Lian one
of them said to the other, "Do not do (this Lian) for, by
Allah, if he is a Prophet and we do this Lian, neither we, nor
our offspring after us will be successful." Then both of them
said (to the Prophet ), "We will give what you should ask but
you should send a trustworthy man with us, and do not send any
person with us but an honest one." The Prophet said, "I will
send an honest man who Is really trustworthy." Then every one
of the companions of Allah's Apostle wished to be that one.
Then the Prophet said, "Get up, O Abu 'Ubaida bin Al−Jarrah."
When he got up, Allah's Apostle said, "This is the Trustworthy
man of this (Muslim) nation."
5.664:
Narrated Hudhaifa: The people of Najran came to the Prophet
and said, "Send an honest man to us." The Prophet said, "I
will send to you an honest man who is really trustworthy."
Everyone of the (Muslim) people hoped to be that one. The
Prophet then sent Abu Ubaida bin Al−Jarrah.
5.665:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "Every nation has an Amin (i.e. the most
honest man), and the Amin of this nation is Abu 'Ubaida bin
Al−Jarrah."
5.666:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: Allah's Apostle said to me, "If
the revenue of Al−Bahrain should come, I will give you so much
and so much," repeating "so much" thrice. But the revenue of
Al−Bahrain did not come till Allah's Apostle had died. When
the revenue came during the rule of Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr ordered
an announcer to announce, "Whoever had any debt or promise due
upon the Prophet, should present himself to me (i.e. Abu
Bakr). I came to Abu Bakr and informed him that the Prophet
had said (to me), "If the revenue of Al−Bahrain should come, I
will give you so−much and so much," repeating "so much"
thrice. So Abu Bakr gave me (in another narration Jaibir
said,). I met Abu Bakr after that and asked him (to give me
what the Prophet had promised me) but he did not give me. I
again went to him but he did not give me. I again went to him
(for the third time) but he did not give me; On that I said to
him, "I came to you but you did not give me, then I came to
you and you did not give me, and then again I came to you, but
you did not give me; so you should either give me or else you
are like a miserly to me, on that, Abu Bakr said, "Do you say,
'You are like a miserly to me?' There is no worse disease than
miserliness." Abu Bakr said it thrice and added, "Whenever I
refused to give you, I had the intention of giving you." (In
another narration) Jabir bin `Abdullah said, "I went to Abu
Bakr (and he gave me a handful of money) and told me to count
it, I counted and found it five−hundred, and then Abu Bakr
said (to me), "Take the same amount twice."
5.667:
Narrated Abu Musa: My brother and I came from Yemen (to
Medina) and remained for some time, thinking that Ibn Masud
and his mother belonged to the family of the Prophet because
of their frequent entrance (upon the Prophet) and their being
attached to him.
5.668:
Narrated Zahdam:
When Abu Musa arrived (at Kufa as a governor) he honored this
family of Jarm (by paying them a visit). I was sitting near to
him, and he was eating chicken as his lunch, and there was a
man sitting amongst the people. Abu Musa invited the man to
the lunch, but the latter said, "I saw chickens (eating
something (dirty) so I consider them unclean." Abu Musa said,
"Come on! I saw the Prophet eating it (i.e. chicken)." The man
said "I have taken an oath that I will not ea (chicken)" Abu
Musa said." Come on! I will tell you about your oath. We, a
group of Al−Ash`ariyin people went to the Prophet and asked
him to give us something to ride, but the Prophet refused.
Then we asked him for the second time to give us something to
ride, but the Prophet took an oath that he would not give us
anything to ride. After a while, some camels of booty were
brought to the Prophet and he ordered that five camels be
given to us. When we took those camels we said, "We have made
the Prophet forget his oath, and we will not be successful
after that." So I went to the Prophet and said, "O Allah'
Apostle ! You took an oath that you would not give us anything
to ride, but you have given us." He said, "Yes, for if I take
an oath and later I see a better solution than that, I act on
the later (and gave the expiation of that oaths"
5.669:
Narrated `Imran bin Husain: The people of Banu Tamim came to
Allah's Apostle, and he said, "Be glad (i.e. have good
tidings). O Banu Tamim!" They said, "As you have given us good
tidings then give us (some material things)." On that the
features of Allah's Apostle changed (i.e. he took it ill).
Then some people from Yemen came, and the Prophet said (to
them) "Accept good tidings as Banu Tamim have not accepted
them." They said, "We accept them, O Allah's Apostle!"
5.670:
Narrated Abu Masud: The Prophet beckoned with his hand towards
Yemen and said, "Belief is there." The harshness and
mercilessness are the qualities of those farmers etc, who are
busy with their camels and pay no attention to the religion
(is towards the east) from where the side of the head of Satan
will appear; those are the tribes of Rabi`a and Mudar.
5.671:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The people of Yemen
have come to you and they are more gentle and soft−hearted.
Belief is Yemenite and Wisdom is Yemenite, while pride and
haughtiness are the qualities of the owners of camels (i.e.
bedouins). Calmness and solemnity are the characters of the
owners of sheep."
5.672:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Belief is Yemenite
while afflictions appear from there (the east) from where the
side of the head of Satan will appear."
5.673:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The people of Yemen
have come to you, and they are more soft hearted and gentle
hearted people. The capacity for understanding religion is
Yemenite and Wisdom is Yemenite."
5.674:
Narrated Alqama:
We were sitting with Ibn Masud when Khabbab came and said, "O
Abu `Abdur−Rahman! Can these young fellows recite Qur'an as
you do?" Ibn Mas`ud said, "If you wish I can order one of them
to recite (Qur'an) for you ." Khabbab replied, "Yes. "Ibn
Mas`ud said, "Recite, O 'Alqama!" On that, Zaid bin Hudair,
the brother of Ziyad bin Hudair said, (to Ibn Mas`ud), "Why
have you ordered 'Alqama to recite though he does not recite
better than we?" Ibn Mas`ud said, "If you like, I would tell
you what the Prophet said about your nation and his (i.e.
'Alqama's) nation." So I recited fifty Verses from
Sura−Maryam. `Abdullah (bin Mas`ud) said to Khabbab, "What do
you think (about 'Alqama's recitation)?" Khabbab said, "He has
recited well." `Abdullah said, "Whatever I recite, 'Alqama
recites." Then `Abdullah turned towards Khabbab and saw that
he was wearing a gold ring, whereupon he said, "Hasn't the
time for its throwing away come yet?" Khabbab said, "You will
not see me wearing it after today," and he throw it away.
5.675:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Tufail bin `Amr came to the Prophet and
said, "The Daus (nation) have perished as they disobeyed and
refused to accept Islam. So invoke Allah against them." But
the Prophet said, "O Allah! Give guidance to the Daus (tribe)
and bring them (to Islam)!"
5.676:
Narrated Abu Huraira: When I came to the Prophet said on my
way, "O what a long tedious tiresome night; nevertheless, it
has rescued me from the place of Heathenism." A slave of mine
ran away on the way. When I reached the Prophet I gave him the
oath of allegiance (for Islam), and while I was sitting with
him, suddenly the slave appeared. The Prophet said to me. "O
Abu Huraira! Here is your slave," I said, "He (i.e. the slave)
is (free) for Allah's Sake," and manumitted him.
5.677:
Narrated `Adi bin Hatim: We came to `Umar in a delegation
(during his rule). He started calling the men one by one,
calling each by his name. (As he did not call me early) I said
to him. "Don't you know me, O chief of the Believers?" He
said, "Yes, you embraced Islam when they (i.e. your people)
disbelieved; you have come (to the Truth) when they ran away;
you fulfilled your promises when they broke theirs; and you
recognized it (i.e. the Truth of Islam) when they denied it."
On that, `Adi said, "I therefore don't care."
5.678:
Narrated `Aisha:
We went out with Allah's Apostle during Hajjat−ul−Wada` and we
assumed the Ihram for `Umra. Then Allah's Apostle said to us,
"Whoever has got the Hadi should assume the Ihram for Hajj and
`Umra and should not finish his Ihram till he has performed
both (`Umra and Hajj)." I arrived at Mecca along with him
(i.e. the Prophet ) while I was menstruating, so I did not
perform the Tawaf around the Ka`ba or between Safa and Marwa.
I informed Allah's Apostle about that and he said, "Undo your
braids and comb your hair, and then assume the lhram for Hajj
and leave the `Umra." I did so, and when we performed and
finished the Hajj, Allah's Apostles sent me to at−Tan`im along
with (my brother) `Abdur−Rahman bin Abu Bakr As−Siddiq, to
perform the `Umra. The Prophet said, "This `Umra is in lieu of
your missed `Umra." Those who had assumed the lhram for `Umra,
performed the Tawaf around the Ka`ba and between Safa and
Marwa, and then finished their Ihram, and on their return from
Mina, they performed another Tawaf (around the Ka`ba and
between Safa and Marwa), but those who combined their Hajj and
`Umra, performed only one Tawaf (between Safa and Marwa) (for
both).
5.679:
Narrated Ibn Juraij: `Ata' said, "Ibn `Abbas said, 'If he
(i.e. the one intending to perform `Umra) has performed the
Tawaf around the Ka`ba, his Ihram is considered to have
finished.' said, 'What proof does Ibn `Abbas has as to this
saying?" `Ata' said, "(The proof is taken) from the Statement
of Allah:−− "And afterwards they are brought For sacrifice
unto Ancient House (Ka`ba at Mecca)" (2
2.33) and from the order of the Prophet to his companions to
finish their Ihram during Hajjat−ul−Wada`." I said (to `Ata'),
"That (i.e. finishing the Ihram) was after coming form
`Arafat." `Ata' said, "Ibn `Abbas used to allow it before
going to `Arafat (after finishing the `Umra) and after coming
from it (i.e. after performing the Hajj).
5.680:
Narrated Abu Musa Al−Ash`ari: I came to the Prophet at a place
called Al−Batha'. The Prophet said, "Did you assume the Ihram
for Hajj?" I said, "Yes," He said, "How did you express your
intention (for performing Hajj)? " I said, "Labbaik (i.e. I am
ready) to assume the Ihram with the same intention as that of
Allah's Apostle." The Prophet said, "Perform the Tawaf around
the Ka`ba and between Safa and Marwa, and then finish your
Ihram." So I performed the Tawaf around the Ka`ba and between
Safa and Marwa and then I came to a woman from the tribe of
Qais who removed the lice from my head.
5.681:
Narrated Hafsa:
(the wife of the Prophet) The Prophet ordered all his wives to
finish their Ihram during the year of Hajjat−ul−Wada`. On
that, I asked the Prophet "What stops you from finishing your
lhram?" He said, "I have matted my hair and garlanded my Hadi.
So I will not finish my Ihram unless I have slaughtered my
Hadi."
5.682:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: A woman from the tribe of Khath'am asked
for the verdict of Allah's Apostle (regarding something)
during Hajjat−ul−Wada` while Al−Fadl bin `Abbas was the
companion−rider behind Allah's Apostle. She asked, "Allah's
ordained obligation (i.e. compulsory Hajj) enjoined on His
slaves has become due on my old father who cannot sit firmly
on the riding animal. Will it be sufficient if I perform the
Hajj on his behalf?" He said, "Yes."
5.683:
Narrated (Abdullah) bin `Umar: The Prophet arrived (at Mecca)
in the year of the Conquest (of Mecca) while Usama was riding
behind him on (his she−camel)'. Al−Qaswa.' Bilal and `Uthman
bin Talha were accompanying him. When he made his she−camel
kneel down near the Ka`ba, he said to `Uthman, "Get us the key
(of the Ka`ba). He brought the key to him and opened the gate
(of the Ka`ba), for him. The Prophet, Usama, Bilal and `Uthman
(bin Talha) entered the Ka`ba and then closed the gate behind
them (from inside). The Prophet stayed there for a long period
and then came out. The people rushed to get in, but I went in
before them and found Bilal standing behind the gate, and I
said to him, "Where did the Prophet pray?" He said, "He prayed
between those two front pillars." The Ka`ba was built on six
pillars, arranged in two rows, and he prayed between the two
pillars of the front row leaving the gate of the Ka`ba at his
back and facing (in prayer) the wall which faces one when one
enters the Ka`ba. Between him and that wall (was the distance
of about three cubits). But I forgot to ask Bilal about the
number of rak`at the Prophet had prayed. There was a red piece
of marble at the place where he (i.e. the Prophet) had offered
the prayer.
5.684:
Narrated `Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) Safiya bin Huyai, the wife of the
Prophet menstruated during Hajjat−ul−Wada` The Prophet said,
"Is she going to detain us?" I said to him, "She has already
come to Mecca and performed the Tawaf (ul−ifada) around the
Ka`ba, O Allah's Apostle." The Prophet said, " Let her then
proceed on (to Medina).
5.685:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: We were talking about Hajjat−ul−Wada`,
while the Prophet was amongst us. We did not know what
Hajjat−ul−Wada` signified. The Prophet praised Allah and then
mentioned Al−Masih Ad−Dajjal and described him extensively,
saying, "Allah did not send any prophet but that prophet
warned his nation of Al−Masih Ad−Dajjal. Noah and the prophets
following him warned (their people) of him. He will appear
amongst you (O Muhammad's followers), and if it happens that
some of his qualities may be hidden from you, but your Lord's
State is clear to you and not hidden from you. The Prophet
said it thrice. Verily, your Lord is not blind in one eye,
while he (i.e. Ad−Dajjal) is blind in the right eye which
looks like a grape bulging out (of its cluster). No doubt,!
Allah has made your blood and your properties sacred to one
another like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this town
of yours, in this month of yours." The Prophet added: No
doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's Message to you? " They
replied, "Yes," The Prophet said thrice, "O Allah! Be witness
for it." The Prophet added, "Woe to you!" (or said), "May
Allah be merciful to you! Do not become infidels after me
(i.e. my death) by cutting the necks (throats) of one
another."
5.686:
Narrated Zaid bin Arqam: The Prophet fought nineteen Ghazwas
and performed only one Hajj after he migrated (to Medina), and
did not perform another Hajj after it, and that was
Hajj−ul−Wada`,' Abu 'Is−haq said, "He performed when he was in
Mecca."
5.687:
Narrated Jarir:
The Prophet ordered me during Hajjatul−Wada`. "Ask the people
to listen." He then said, "Do not become infidels after me by
cutting the necks (throats) of one another. "
5.688:
Narrated Abu Bakra: The Prophet said, "Time has taken its
original shape which it had when Allah created the Heavens and
the Earth. The year is of twelve months, four of which are
sacred, and out of these (four) three are in succession, i.e.
Dhul−Qa'da, Dhul−Hijja and Al−Muharram, and the fourth is
Rajab which is named after the Mudar tribe, between (the month
of) Jumaida (ath−thania) and Sha'ban." Then the Prophet asked,
"Which is this month?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know
better." On that the Prophet kept quiet so long that we
thought that he might name it with another name. Then the
Prophet said, "Isn't it the month of Dhul−Hijja?" We replied,
"Yes." Then he said, "Which town is this?" "We replied, "Allah
and His Apostle know better." On that he kept quiet so long
that we thought that he might name it with another name. Then
he said, "Isn't it the town of Mecca?" We replied, "Yes, "
Then he said, "Which day is today?" We replied, "Allah and His
Apostle know better." He kept quiet so long that we thought
that he might name it with another name. Then he said, "Isn't
it the day of An−Nahr (i.e. sacrifice)?" We replied, "Yes." He
said, "So your blood, your properties, (The sub−narrator
Muhammad said, 'I think the Prophet also said: And your
honor..) are sacred to one another like the sanctity of this
day of yours, in this city of yours, in this month of yours;
and surely, you will meet your Lord, and He will ask you about
your deeds. Beware! Do not become infidels after me, cutting
the throats of one another. It is incumbent on those who are
present to convey this message (of mine) to those who are
absent. May be that some of those to whom it will be conveyed
will understand it better than those who have actually heard
it." (The sub−narrator, Muhammad, on remembering that
narration, used to say, "Muhammad spoke the truth!") He (i.e.
Prophet) then added twice, "No doubt! Haven't I conveyed
(Allah's Message) to you?"
5.689:
Narrated Tariq bin Shibab: Some Jews said, "Had this Verse
been revealed to us, we would have taken that day as `Id
(festival)." `Umar said, "What Verse?" They said:−− "This day
I have Perfected your religion for you, Completed My Favor
upon you And have chosen for you Islam as your religion" (5.3)
`Umar said, "I know the place where it was revealed; It was
revealed while Allah's Apostle was staying at `Arafat." 5.690:
Narrated `Aisha:
We set out with Allah's Apostle, and some of us assumed the
lhram for `Umra, some assumed it for Hajj, and some assumed it
for both Hajj and `Umra. Allah's Apostle assumed the Ihram for
Hajj. So those who had assumed the Ihram for Hajj or for both
Hajj and `Umra, did not finish their Ihram till the day of
An−Nahr (i.e. slaughter of sacrifices).
5.691:
Narrated Malik:
The same as above (Hadith 690), saying, "(We set out) with
Allah's Apostle in Hajjat−ul−Wada`...)"
5.692:
Narrated Malik:
The same as above (Hadith 690).
5.693:
Narrated Sa`d:
The Prophet visited me during Hajjat ul−Wada` while I was
suffering from a disease which brought me to the verge of
death. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! My ailment has reached such
a (bad) state as you see, and I have much wealth, but I have
no−one to inherit from me except my only daughter. Shall I
give 2/3 of my property as alms (in charity)?" The Prophet
said, "No," I said, "Shall I give half of my property as
alms?" He said, "No." I said, "(Shall I give) 1/3 of it? " He
replied, " 1/3, and even 1/3 is too much. It is better for you
to leave your inheritors wealthy rather than to leave them
poor, begging people (for their sustenance); and whatever you
spend for Allah's Sake, you will get reward for it even for
the morsel of food which you put in your wives mouth." I said,
"O Allah's Apostle! Should I remain (in Mecca) behind my
companions (who are going with you to Medina)?" The Prophet
said, "If you remain behind, any good deed which you will do
for Allah's Sake, will upgrade and elevate you. May be you
will live longer so that some people may benefit by you and
some other (i.e. infidels) may get harmed by you." The Prophet
then added, "O Allah! Complete the Migration of my companions
and do not turn them on their heels. But the poor Sa`d bin
Khaula (not the above mentioned Sa`d) (died in Mecca) ."
Allah's Apostle pitied Sa`d for he died in Mecca.

Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet got his head shaved during
Hajjat−ul−Wada`.'
5.695:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: During Hajjat−ul−Wada`, the Prophet and
some of his companions got their heads shaved while some of
his companions got their head−hair cut short.
5.696:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abbas: That he came riding a donkey
when Allah 's Apostle was standing at Mina during
Hajjat−ul−Wada`, leading the people in prayer. The donkey
passed in front of a part of the row (of the people offering
the prayer). Then he dismounted from it and took his position
in the row with the people. 5.697:
Narrated Hisham's father: In my presence, Usama was asked
about the speed of the Prophet during his Hajj. He replied,
"It was Al−`Anaq (i.e. moderate easy speed) and if he
encountered an open space, he used to increase his speed."
5.698:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Yazid Al−Khatmi: That Abu Aiyub
informed him that he offered the Maghrib and `Isha' prayers
together with the Prophet during Hajjat−ul−Wada`.
5.699:
Narrated Abu Musa: My Companions sent me to Allah's Apostle to
ask him for some animals to ride on as they were accompanying
him in the army of Al−Usra, and that was the Ghazwa (Battle)
of Tabuk, I said, "O Allah's Prophet! My companions have sent
me to you to provide them with means of transportation." He
said, "By Allah! I will not make you ride anything." It
happened that when I reached him, he was in an angry mood, and
I didn't notice it. So I returned in a sad mood because of the
refusal the Prophet and for the fear that the Prophet might
have become 'angry with me. So I returned to my companions and
informed them of what the Prophet had said. Only a short while
had passed when I heard Bilal calling, "O `Abdullah bin Qais!"
I replied to his call. Bilal said, "Respond to Allah's Apostle
who is calling you." When I went to him (i.e. the Prophet), he
said, "Take these two camels tied together and also these two
camels tied together,"' referring to six camels he had brought
them from Sa`d at that time. The Prophet added, "Take them to
your companions and say, 'Allah (or Allah's Apostle ) allows
you to ride on these,' so ride on them." So I took those
camels to them and said, "The Prophet allows you to ride on
these (camels) but by Allah, I will not leave you till some of
you proceed with me to somebody who heard the statement of
Allah's Apostle. Do not think that I narrate to you a thing
which Allah's Apostle has not said." They said to me, "We
consider you truthful, and we will do what you like." The
sub−narrator added: So Abu Musa proceeded along with some of
them till they came to those who have heard the statement of
Allah's Apostle wherein he denied them (some animals to ride
on) and (his statement) whereby he gave them the same. So
these people told them the same information as Abu Musa had
told them.
5.700:
Narrated Sa`d:
Allah's Apostle set out for Tabuk. appointing `Ali as his
deputy (in Medina). `Ali said, "Do you want to leave me with
the children and women?" The Prophet said, "Will you not be
pleased that you will be to me like Aaron to Moses? But there
will be no prophet after me." 5.701:
Narrated Safwan bin Ya`la bin Umaiya: that his father said, "I
participated in Al−Usra (i.e. Tabuk) along with the Prophet."
Ya`la added, "(My participation in) that Ghazwa was the best
of my deeds to me." Ya`la said, "I had a laborer who
quarrelled with somebody, and one of the two bit the hand of
the other (`Ata', the sub−narrator, said, "Safwan told me who
bit whom but I forgot it"), and the one who was bitten, pulled
his hand out of the mouth of the biter, so one of the incisors
of the biter was broken. So we came to the Prophet and he
considered the biter's claim as invalid (i.e. the biter did
not get a recompense for his broken incisor). The Prophet
said, "Should he leave his hand in your mouth so that you
might snap it as if it were in the mouth of a male camel to
snap it?"
5.702:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Ka`b bin Malik: Who, from among Ka`b's
sons, was the guide of Ka`b when he became blind: I heard Ka`b
bin Malik narrating the story of (the Ghazwa of) Tabuk in
which he failed to take part. Ka`b said, "I did not remain
behind Allah's Apostle in any Ghazwa that he fought except the
Ghazwa of Tabuk, and I failed to take part in the Ghazwa of
Badr, but Allah did not admonish anyone who had not
participated in it, for in fact, Allah's Apostle had gone out
in search of the caravan of Quraish till Allah made them (i.e.
the Muslims) and their enemy meet without any appointment. I
witnessed the night of Al−`Aqaba (pledge) with Allah's Apostle
when we pledged for Islam, and I would not exchange it for the
Badr battle although the Badr battle is more popular amongst
the people than it (i.e. Al−`Aqaba pledge). As for my news (in
this battle of Tabuk), I had never been stronger or wealthier
than I was when I remained behind the Prophet in that Ghazwa.
By Allah, never had I two she−camels before, but I had then at
the time of this Ghazwa. Whenever Allah's Apostle wanted to
make a Ghazwa, he used to hide his intention by apparently
referring to different Ghazwa till it was the time of that
Ghazwa (of Tabuk) which Allah's Apostle fought in severe heat,
facing, a long journey, desert, and the great number of enemy.
So the Prophet announced to the Muslims clearly (their
destination) so that they might get prepared for their Ghazwa.
So he informed them clearly of the destination he was going
to. Allah's Apostle was accompanied by a large number of
Muslims who could not be listed in a book namely, a register."
Ka`b added, "Any man who intended to be absent would think
that the matter would remain hidden unless Allah revealed it
through Divine Revelation. So Allah's Apostle fought that
Ghazwa at the time when the fruits had ripened and the shade
looked pleasant. Allah's Apostle and his companions prepared
for the battle and I started to go out in order to get myself
ready along with them, but I returned without doing anything.
I would say to myself, 'I can do that.' So I kept on delaying
it every now and then till the people got ready and Allah's
Apostle and the Muslims along with him departed, and I had not
prepared anything for my departure, and I said, I will prepare
myself (for departure) one or two days after him, and then
join them.' In the morning following their departure, I went
out to get myself ready but returned having done nothing. Then
again in the next morning, I went out to get ready but
returned without doing anything. Such was the case with me
till they hurried away and the battle was missed (by me). Even
then I intended to depart to take them over. I wish I had done
so! But it was not in my luck. So, after the departure of
Allah's Apostle, whenever I went out and walked amongst the
people (i.e, the remaining persons), it grieved me that I
could see none around me, but one accused of hypocrisy or one
of those weak men whom Allah had excused. Allah's Apostle did
not remember me till he reached Tabuk. So while he was sitting
amongst the people in Tabuk, he said, 'What did Ka`b do?' A
man from Banu Salama said, 'O Allah's Apostle! He has been
stopped by his two Burdas (i.e. garments) and his looking at
his own flanks with pride.' Then Mu`adh bin Jabal said, 'What
a bad thing you have said! By Allah! O Allahs Apostle! We know
nothing about him but good.' Allah's Apostle kept silent."
Ka`b bin Malik added, "When I heard that he (i.e. the Prophet
) was on his way back to Medina. I got dipped in my concern,
and began to think of false excuses, saying to myself, 'How
can I avoid his anger tomorrow?' And I took the advice of wise
member of my family in this matter. When it was said that
Allah's Apostle, had come near all the evil false excuses
abandoned from my mind and I knew well that I could never come
out of this problem by forging a false statement. Then I
decided firmly to speak the truth. So Allah's Apostle arrived
in the morning, and whenever he returned from a journey., he
used to visit the Mosque first of all and offer a two−rak`at
prayer therein and then sit for the people. So when he had
done all that (this time), those who had failed to join the
battle (of Tabuk) came and started offering (false) excuses
and taking oaths before him. They were something over eighty
men; Allah's Apostle accepted the excuses they had expressed,
took their pledge of allegiance asked for Allah's Forgiveness
for them, and left the secrets of their hearts for Allah to
judge. Then I came to him, and when I greeted him, he smiled a
smile of an angry person and then said, 'Come on.' So I came
walking till I sat before him. He said to me, 'What stopped
you from joining us. Had you not purchased an animal For
carrying you?' I answered, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle! But by
Allah, if I were sitting before any person from among the
people of the world other than you, I would have avoided his
anger with an excuse. By Allah, I have been bestowed with the
power of speaking fluently and eloquently, but by Allah, I
knew well that if today I tell you a lie to seek your favor,
Allah would surely make you angry with me in the near future,
but if I tell you the truth, though you will get angry because
of it, I hope for Allah's Forgiveness. Really, by Allah, there
was no excuse for me. By Allah, I had never been stronger or
wealthier than I was when I remained behind you.' Then Allah's
Apostle said, 'As regards this man, he has surely told the
truth. So get up till Allah decides your case.' I got up, and
many men of Banu Salama followed me and said to me. 'By Allah,
we never witnessed you doing any sin before this. Surely, you
failed to offer excuse to Allah's Apostle as the others who
did not join him, have offered. The prayer of Allah's Apostle
to Allah to forgive you would have been sufficient for you.'
By Allah, they continued blaming me so much that I intended to
return (to the Prophet) and accuse myself of having told a
lie, but I said to them, 'Is there anybody else who has met
the same fate as I have?' They replied, 'Yes, there are two
men who have said the same thing as you have, and to both of
them was given the same order as given to you.' I said, 'Who
are they?' They replied, Murara bin Ar−Rabi Al−Amri and Hilal
bin Umaiya Al−Waqifi.' By that they mentioned to me two pious
men who had attended the Ghazwa (Battle) of Badr, and in whom
there was an example for me. So I did not change my mind when
they mentioned them to me. Allah's Apostle forbade all the
Muslims to talk to us, the three aforesaid persons out of all
those who had remained behind in that Ghazwa. So we kept away
from the people and they changed their attitude towards us
till the very land (where I lived) appeared strange to me as
if I did not know it. We remained in that condition for fifty
nights. As regards my two fellows, they remained in their
houses and kept on weeping, but I was the youngest of them and
the firmest of them, so I used to go out and witness the
prayers along with the Muslims and roam about in the markets,
but none would talk to me, and I would come to Allah's Apostle
and greet him while he was sitting In his gathering after the
prayer, and I would wonder whether the Prophet did move his
lips in return to my greetings or not. Then I would offer my
prayer near to him and look at him stealthily. When I was busy
with my prayer, he would turn his face towards me, but when I
turned my face to him, he would turn his face away from me.
When this harsh attitude of the people lasted long, I walked
till I scaled the wall of the garden of Abu Qatada who was my
cousin and dearest person to me, and I offered my greetings to
him. By Allah, he did not return my greetings. I said, 'O Abu
Qatada! I beseech you by Allah! Do you know that I love Allah
and His Apostle?' He kept quiet. I asked him again, beseeching
him by Allah, but he remained silent. Then I asked him again
in the Name of Allah. He said, "Allah and His Apostle know it
better.' Thereupon my eyes flowed with tears and I returned
and jumped over the wall." Ka`b added, "While I was walking in
the market of Medina, suddenly I saw a Nabati (i.e. a
Christian farmer) from the Nabatis of Sham who came to sell
his grains in Medina, saying, 'Who will lead me to Ka`b bin
Malik?' The people began to point (me) out for him till he
came to me and handed me a letter from the king of Ghassan in
which the following was written: "To proceed, I have been
informed that your friend (i.e. the Prophet ) has treated you
harshly. Anyhow, Allah does not let you live at a place where
you feel inferior and your right is lost. So join us, and we
will console you." When I read it, I said to myself, 'This is
also a sort of a test.' Then I took the letter to the oven and
made a fire therein by burning it. When forty out of the fifty
nights elapsed, behold ! There came to me the messenger of
Allah's Apostle and said, 'Allah's Apostle orders you to keep
away from your wife,' I said, 'Should I divorce her; or else!
what should I do?' He said, 'No, only keep aloof from her and
do not cohabit her.' The Prophet sent the same message to my
two fellows. Then I said to my wife. 'Go to your parents and
remain with them till Allah gives His Verdict in this matter."
Ka`b added, "The wife of Hilal bin Umaiya came to Apostle and
said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Hilal bin Umaiya is a helpless old
man who has no servant to attend on him. Do you dislike that I
should serve him? ' He said, 'No (you can serve him) but he
should not come near you.' She said, 'By Allah, he has no
desire for anything. By, Allah, he has never ceased weeping
till his case began till this day of his.' (continued...)
@(continuing... 1): −5.702:... ... On that, some of my family
members said to me, 'Will you also ask Allah's Apostle to
permit your wife (to serve you) as he has permitted the wife
of Hilal bin Umaiya to serve him?' I said, 'By Allah, I will
not ask the permission of Allah's Apostle regarding her, for I
do not know What Allah's Apostle would say if I asked him to
permit her (to serve me) while I am a young man.' Then I
remained in that state for ten more nights after that till the
period of fifty nights was completed starting from the time
when Allah's Apostle prohibited the people from talking to us.
When I had offered the Fajr prayer on the 50th morning on the
roof of one of our houses and while I was sitting in the
condition which Allah described (in the Qur'an) i.e. my very
soul seemed straitened to me and even the earth seemed narrow
to me for all its spaciousness, there I heard the voice of one
who had ascended the mountain of Sala' calling with his
loudest voice, 'O Ka`b bin Malik! Be happy (by receiving good
tidings).' I fell down in prostration before Allah, realizing
that relief has come. Allah's Apostle had announced the
acceptance of our repentance by Allah when he had offered the
Fajr prayer. The people then went out to congratulate us. Some
bringers of good tidings went out to my two fellows, and a
horseman came to me in haste, and a man of Banu Aslam came
running and ascended the mountain and his voice was swifter
than the horse. When he (i.e. the man) whose voice I had
heard, came to me conveying the good tidings, I took off my
garments and dressed him with them; and by Allah, I owned no
other garments than them on that day. Then I borrowed two
garments and wore them and went to Allah's Apostle. The people
started receiving me in batches, congratulating me on Allah's
Acceptance of my repentance, saying, 'We congratulate you on
Allah's Acceptance of your repentance." Ka`b further said,
"When I entered the Mosque. I saw Allah's Apostle sitting with
the people around him. Talha bin Ubaidullah swiftly came to
me, shook hands with me and congratulated me. By Allah, none
of the Muhajirin (i.e. Emigrants) got up for me except him
(i.e. Talha), and I will never forget this for Talha." Ka`b
added, "When I greeted Allah's Apostle he, his face being
bright with joy, said "Be happy with the best day that you
have got ever since your mother delivered you." Ka`b added, "I
said to the Prophet 'Is this forgiveness from you or from
Allah?' He said, 'No, it is from Allah.' Whenever Allah's
Apostle became happy, his face would shine as if it were a
piece of moon, and we all knew that characteristic of him.
When I sat before him, I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Because of
the acceptance of my repentance I will give up all my wealth
as alms for the Sake of Allah and His Apostle. Allah's Apostle
said, 'Keep some of your wealth, as it will be better for
you.' I said, 'So I will keep my share from Khaibar with me,'
and added, 'O Allah's Apostle! Allah has saved me for telling
the truth; so it is a part of my repentance not to tell but
the truth as long as I am alive. By Allah, I do not know
anyone of the Muslims whom Allah has helped fortelling the
truth more than me. Since I have mentioned that truth to
Allah's Apostle till today, I have never intended to tell a
lie. I hope that Allah will also save me (from telling lies)
the rest of my life. So Allah revealed to His Apostle the
Verse:−− "Verily, Allah has forgiven the Prophet, the
Muhajirin (i.e. Emigrants (up to His Saying) And be with those
who are true (in word and deed)." (9.117−119) By Allah, Allah
has never bestowed upon me, apart from His guiding me to
Islam, a Greater blessing than the fact that I did not tell a
lie to Allah's Apostle which would have caused me to perish as
those who have told a lie perished, for Allah described those
who told lies with the worst description He ever attributed to
anybody else. Allah said:−− "They (i.e. the hypocrites) will
swear by Allah to you when you return to them (up to His
Saying) Certainly Allah is not pleased with the rebellious
people−−" (9.95−96) Ka`b added, "We, the three persons,
differed altogether from those whose excuses Allah's Apostle
accepted when they swore to him. He took their pledge of
allegiance and asked Allah to forgive them, but Allah's
Apostle left our case pending till Allah gave His Judgment
about it. As for that Allah said):−− And to the three (He did
for give also) who remained behind." (9.118) What Allah said
(in this Verse) does not indicate our failure to take part in
the Ghazwa, but it refers to the deferment of making a
decision by the Prophet about our case in contrast to the case
of those who had taken an oath before him and he excused them
by accepting their excuses.
5.703:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: When the Prophet passed by Al−Hijr, he
said, "Do not enter the dwelling places of those people who
were unjust to themselves unless you enter in a weeping state
lest the same calamity as of theirs should befall you." Then
he covered his head and made his speed fast till he crossed
the valley.
5.704:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: Allah's Apostle said to his companions who
were at Al−Hijr, "Do not enter upon these people who are being
punished, except in a weeping state, lest the same calamity as
of theirs should befall you..."
5.705:
Narrated `Urwa bin Al−Mughira: Al−Mughira bin Shu`ba, said,
"The Prophet went out to answer the call of nature and (when
he had finished) I got up to pour water for him." I think that
he said that the event had taken place during the Ghazwa of
Tabuk. Al−Mughira added. "The Prophet washed his face, and
when he wanted to wash his forearms, the sleeves of his cloak
became tight over them, so he took them out from underneath
the cloak and then he washed them (i.e. his forearms) and
passed wet hands over his Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric
or leather)."
5.706:
Narrated Abu Humaid: We returned in the company of the Prophet
from the Ghazwa of Tabuk, and when we looked upon Medina, the
Prophet said, "This is Taba (i.e. Medina), and this is Uhud, a
mountain that loves us and is loved by us."
5.707:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle returned from the
Ghazwa of Tabuk, and when he approached Medina, he said,
"There are some people in Medina who were with you all the
time, you did not travel any portion of the journey nor
crossed any valley, but they were with you they (i.e. the
people) said, "O Allah's Apostle! Even though they were at
Medina?" He said, "Yes, because they were stopped by a genuine
excuse."
5.708:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Allah's Apostle sent a letter to Khosrau
with `Abdullah bin Hudhafa As−Sahmi and told him to hand it
over to the governor of Al−Bahrain. The governor of Al−Bahrain
handed it over to Khosrau, and when he read the latter, he
tore it into pieces. (The sub−narrator added, "I think that
Ibn Al−Musaiyab said, 'Allah 's Apostle invoked (Allah) to
tear them all totally Khosrau and his companions) into pieces.
5.709:
Narrated Abu Bakra: During the days (of the battle) of
Al−Jamal, Allah benefited me with a word I had heard from
Allah's Apostle after I had been about to join the Companions
of Al−Jamal (i.e. the camel) and fight along with them. When
Allah's Apostle was informed that the Persians had crowned the
daughter of Khosrau as their ruler, he said, "Such people as
ruled by a lady will never be successful." 5.710:
Narrated As−Sa'ib bin Yazid: I remember that I went out with
the boys to (the place called) Thaniyat−ul−Wada` to receive
Allah's Apostle .
5.711:
Narrated As−Saib:
I remember I went out with the boys to Thaniyat−ul−Wada` to
receive the Prophet when he returned from the Ghazwa of Tabuk.
5.712:
Narrated Um Al−Fadl bint Al−Harith: I heard the Prophet
reciting Surat−al−Mursalat `Urfan (77) in the Maghrib prayer,
and after that prayer he did not lead us in any prayer till he
died.
5.713:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: `Umar bin Al−Khattab used to let Ibn
`Abbas sit beside him, so `AbdurRahman bin `Auf said to `Umar,
"We have sons similar to him." `Umar replied, "(I respect him)
because of his status that you know." `Umar then asked Ibn
`Abbas about the meaning of this Holy Verse:−− "When comes the
help of Allah and the conquest of Mecca . . ." (110.1) Ibn
`Abbas replied, "That indicated the death of Allah's Apostle
which Allah informed him of." `Umar said, "I do not understand
of it except what you understand." Narrated `Aisha: The
Prophet in his ailment in which he died, used to say, "O
`Aisha! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at
Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being cut
from that poison."
5.714:
Narrated `Aisha:
Whenever Allah's Apostle became ill, he used to recite
Al−Muawidhatan (i.e. the last two Suras of the Qur'an) and
then blow his breath and passed his hand over himself. When he
had his fatal illness, I started reciting Al−Muawidhatan and
blowing my breath over him as he used to do, and then I rubbed
the hand of the Prophet over his body.
5.715:
Narrated `Aisha:
I heard the Prophet and listened to him before his death while
he was Lying supported on his back, and he was saying, "O
Allah! Forgive me, and bestow Your Mercy on me, and let me
meet the (highest) companions (of the Hereafter)." See the
Qur'an ( 4.69) and See Hadith No. 719. 5.716:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Thursday! And how great that Thursday
was! The ailment of Allah's Apostle became worse (on Thursday)
and he said, fetch me something so that I may write to you
something after which you will never go astray." The people
(present there) differed in this matter, and it was not right
to differ before a prophet. Some said, "What is wrong with him
? (Do you think ) he is delirious (seriously ill)? Ask him (
to understand his state )." So they went to the Prophet and
asked him again. The Prophet said, "Leave me, for my present
state is better than what you call me for." Then he ordered
them to do three things. He said, "Turn the pagans out of the
'Arabian Peninsula; respect and give gifts to the foreign
delegations as you have seen me dealing with them." (Sa`id bin
Jubair, the sub−narrator said that Ibn `Abbas kept quiet as
rewards the third order, or he said, "I forgot it.") (See
Hadith No. 116 Vol. 1)
5.717:
Narrated Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah: Ibn `Abbas said, "When
Allah's Apostle was on his deathbed and there were some men in
the house, he said, 'Come near, I will write for you something
after which you will not go astray.' Some of them ( i.e. his
companions) said, 'Allah's Apostle is seriously ill and you
have the (Holy) Qur'an. Allah's Book is sufficient for us.' So
the people in the house differed and started disputing. Some
of them said, 'Give him writing material so that he may write
for you something after which you will not go astray.' while
the others said the other way round. So when their talk and
differences increased, Allah's Apostle said, "Get up." Ibn
`Abbas used to say, "No doubt, it was very unfortunate (a
great disaster) that Allah's Apostle was prevented from
writing for them that writing because of their differences and
noise."
5.718:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet called Fatima during his fatal illness and told
her something secretly and she wept. Then he called her again
and told her something secretly, and she started laughing.
When we asked her about that, she said, "The Prophet first
told me secretly that he would expire in that disease in which
he died, so I wept; then he told me secretly that I would be
the first of his family to follow him, so I laughed ( at that
time).
5.719:
Narrated `Aisha:
Used to hear (from the Prophet) that no Prophet dies till he
is given the option to select either the worldly life or the
life of the Hereafter. I heard the Prophet in his fatal
disease, with his voice becoming hoarse, saying, "In the
company of those on whom is the grace of Allah ..( to the end
of the Verse )." ( 4.69) Thereupon I thought that the Prophet
had been given the option.
5.720:
Narrated `Aisha:
When the Prophet fell ill in his fatal illness, he started
saying, "With the highest companion."
5.721:
Narrated Aisha:
When Allah 's Apostle was in good health, he used to say,
"Never does a prophet die unless he is shown his place in
Paradise ( before his death ), and then he is made alive or
given option." When the Prophet became ill and his last
moments came while his head was on my thigh, he became
unconscious, and when he came to his senses, he looked towards
the roof of the house and then said, "O Allah! (Please let me
be) with the highest companion." Thereupon I said, "Hence he
is not going to stay with us? " Then I came to know that his
state was the confirmation of the narration he used to mention
to us while he was in good health.
5.722:
Narrated Aisha:
`Abdur−Rahman bin Abu Bakr entered upon the Prophet while I
was supporting the Prophet on my chest. `AbdurRahman had a
fresh Siwak then and he was cleaning his teeth with it.
Allah's Apostle looked at it, so I took the Siwak, cut it
(chewed it with my teeth), shook it and made it soft (with
water), and then gave it to the Prophet who cleaned his teeth
with it. I had never seen Allah's Apostle cleaning his teeth
in a better way. After finishing the brushing of his teeth, he
lifted his hand or his finger and said thrice, "O Allah! Let
me be with the highest companions," and then died. `Aisha used
to say, "He died while his head was resting between my chest
and chin."
5.723:
Narrated Aisha:
Whenever Allah's Apostle became ill, he used to recite the
Muawidhatan and blow his breath over himself (after their
recitation ) and rubbed his hands over his body. So when he
was afflicted with his fatal illness. I started reciting the
Muawidhatan and blowing my breath over him as he used to blow
and made the hand of the Prophet pass over his body.
5.724:
Narrated `Aisha:
I heard the Prophet and listened to him before his death while
he was leaning his back on me and saying, "O Allah! Forgive
me, and bestow Your Mercy on me, and let me meet the
companions."
5.725:
Narrated `Urwa bin Az−Zubair: `Aisha said, "The Prophet said
during his fatal illness, "Allah cursed the Jews for they took
the graves of their prophets as places for worship." `Aisha
added, "Had it not been for that (statement of the Prophet )
his grave would have been made conspicuous. But he was afraid
that it might be taken as a place for worship."
5.726:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet died while he was between my chest and chin, so I
never dislike the death agony for anyone after the Prophet.
5.727:
Narrated Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) "When the ailment of Allah's Apostle
became aggravated, he requested his wives to permit him to be
(treated) nursed in my house, and they gave him permission. He
came out (to my house), walking between two men with his feet
dragging on the ground, between `Abbas bin `Abdul−−Muttalib
and another man" 'Ubaidullah said, "I told `Abdullah of what
`Aisha had said, `Abdullah bin `Abbas said to me, 'Do you know
who is the other man whom `Aisha did not name?' I said, 'No.'
Ibn `Abbas said, 'It was `Ali bin Abu Talib." `Aisha, the wife
of the Prophet used to narrate saying, "When Allah's Apostle
entered my house and his disease became aggravated, he said, "
Pour on me the water of seven water skins, the mouths of which
have not been untied, so that I may give advice to the
people.' So we let him sit in a big basin belonging to Hafsa,
the wife of the Prophet and then started to pour water on him
from these water skins till he started pointing to us with his
hands intending to say, 'You have done your job." `Aisha
added, "Then he went out to the people and led them in prayer
and preached to them." `Aisha and `Abdullah bin `Abbas said,
"When Allah's Apostle became ill seriously, he started
covering his face with his woolen sheet, and when he felt
short of breath, he removed it from hi; face and said, 'That
is so! Allah's (curse be on the Jews and the Christians, as
they took the graves of their prophets as (places of
worship),' intending to warn (the Muslims ) of what they had
done." `Aisha added, "I argued with Allah's Apostle repeatedly
about that matter (i.e. his order that Abu Bakr should lead
the people in prayer in his place when he was ill), and what
made me argue so much, was, that it never occurred to my mind
that after the Prophet, the people would ever love a man who
had taken his place, and I felt that anybody standing in his
place, would be a bad omen to the people, so I wanted Allah's
Apostle to give up the idea of choosing Abu Bakr (to lead the
people in prayer).
5.728:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abbas: `Ali bin Abu Talib came out of
the house of Allah's Apostle during his fatal illness. The
people asked, "O Abu Hasan (i.e. `Ali)! How is the health of
Allah's Apostle this morning?" `Ali replied, "He has recovered
with the Grace of Allah." `Abbas bin `Abdul Muttalib held him
by the hand and said to him, "In three days you, by Allah,
will be ruled (by somebody else ), And by Allah, I feel that
Allah's Apostle will die from this ailment of his, for I know
how the faces of the offspring of `Abdul Muttalib look at the
time of their death. So let us go to Allah's Apostle and ask
him who will take over the Caliphate. If it is given to us we
will know as to it, and if it is given to somebody else, we
will inform him so that he may tell the new ruler to take care
of us." `Ali said, "By Allah, if we asked Allah's Apostle for
it (i.e. the Caliphate) and he denied it us, the people will
never give it to us after that. And by Allah, I will not ask
Allah's Apostle for it."
5.729:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: While the Muslims were offering the
Fajr prayer on Monday and Abu Bakr was leading them in prayer,
suddenly Allah's Apostle lifted the curtain of `Aisha's
dwelling and looked at them while they were in the rows of the
prayers and smiled. Abu Bakr retreated to join the row,
thinking that Allah's Apostle wanted to come out for the
prayer. The Muslims were about to be put to trial in their
prayer (i.e. were about to give up praying) because of being
overjoyed at seeing Allah's Apostle. But Allah's Apostle
beckoned them with his hand to complete their prayer and then
entered the dwelling and let fall the curtain.
5.730:
Narrated Aisha:
It was one of the favors of Allah towards me that Allah's
Apostle expired in my house on the day of my turn while he was
leaning against my chest and Allah made my saliva mix with his
saliva at his death. `Abdur−Rahman entered upon me with a
Siwak in his hand and I was supporting (the back of) Allah's
Apostle (against my chest ). I saw the Prophet looking at it
(i.e. Siwak) and I knew that he loved the Siwak, so I said (
to him ), "Shall I take it for you ? " He nodded in agreement.
So I took it and it was too stiff for him to use, so I said,
"Shall I soften it for you ?" He nodded his approval. So I
softened it and he cleaned his teeth with it. In front of him
there was a jug or a tin, (The sub−narrator, `Umar is in doubt
as to which was right) containing water. He started dipping
his hand in the water and rubbing his face with it, he said,
"None has the right to be worshipped except Allah. Death has
its agonies." He then lifted his hands (towards the sky) and
started saying, "With the highest companion," till he expired
and his hand dropped down.
5.731:
Narrated `Urwa:
`Aisha said, "Allah's Apostle in his fatal illness, used to
ask, 'Where will I be tomorrow? Where will I be tomorrow?",
seeking `Aisha's turn. His wives allowed him to stay wherever
he wished. So he stayed at `Aisha's house till he expired
while he was with her." `Aisha added, "The Prophet expired on
the day of my turn in my house and he was taken unto Allah
while his head was against my chest and his saliva mixed with
my saliva." `Aisha added, "Abdur−Rahman bin Abu Bakr came in,
carrying a Siwak he was cleaning his teeth with. Allah's
Apostle looked at it and I said to him, 'O `AbdurRahman! Give
me this Siwak.' So he gave it to me and I cut it, chewed it
(it's end) and gave it to Allah's Apostle who cleaned his
teeth with it while he was resting against my chest."
5.732:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet expired in my house and on the day of my turn,
leaning against my chest. One of us (i.e. the Prophet's wives
) used to recite a prayer asking Allah to protect him from all
evils when he became sick. So I started asking Allah to
protect him from all evils (by reciting a prayer ). He raised
his head towards the sky and said, "With the highest
companions, with the highest companions." `Abdur−Rahman bin
Abu Bakr passed carrying a fresh leaf−stalk of a date−palm and
the Prophet looked at it and I thought that the Prophet was in
need of it (for cleaning his teeth ). So I took it (from
`Abdur Rahman) and chewed its head and shook it and gave it to
the Prophet who cleaned his teeth with it, in the best way he
had ever cleaned his teeth, and then he gave it to me, and
suddenly his hand dropped down or it fell from his hand (i.e.
he expired). So Allah made my saliva mix with his saliva on
his last day on earth and his first day in the Hereafter.
5.733:
Narrated `Aisha:
Abu Bakr came from his house at As−Sunh on a horse. He
dismounted and entered the Mosque, but did not speak to the
people till he entered upon `Aisha and went straight to
Allah's Apostle who was covered with Hibra cloth (i.e. a kind
of Yemenite cloth). He then uncovered the Prophet's face and
bowed over him and kissed him and wept, saying, "Let my father
and mother be sacrificed for you. By Allah, Allah will never
cause you to die twice. As for the death which was written for
you, has come upon you." Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Abu Bakr went
out while `Umar bin Al−Khattab was talking to the people. Abu
Bakr said, "Sit down, O `Umar!" But `Umar refused to sit down.
So the people came to Abu Bakr and left `Umar. Abu Bakr said,
"To proceed, if anyone amongst you used to worship Muhammad ,
then Muhammad is dead, but if (anyone of) you used to worship
Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall never die. Allah
said:−−"Muhammad is no more than an Apostle, and indeed (many)
apostles have passed away before him..(till the end of the
Verse )......Allah will reward to those who are thankful."
(3.144) By Allah, it was as if the people never knew that
Allah had revealed this Verse before till Abu Bakr recited it
and all the people received it from him, and I heard everybody
reciting it (then). Narrated Az−Zuhri: Sa`id bin Al−Musaiyab
told me that `Umar said, "By Allah, when I heard Abu Bakr
reciting it, my legs could not support me and I fell down at
the very moment of hearing him reciting it, declaring that the
Prophet had died."
5.734:
Narrated Aisha and Ibn `Abbas: Abu Bakr kissed the Prophet
after his death.
5.735:
Narrated `Aisha:
We poured medicine in one side of the Prophet's mouth during
his illness and he started pointing to us, meaning to say,
"Don't pour medicine in my mouth." We said, "(He says so)
because a patient dislikes medicines." When he improved and
felt a little better, he said, "Didn't I forbid you to pour
medicine in my mouth ?" We said, " ( We thought it was because
of) the dislike, patients have for medicines. He said, "Let
everyone present in the house be given medicine by pouring it
in his mouth while I am looking at him, except `Abbas as he
has not witnessed you (doing the same to me).
5.736:
Narrated Al−Aswad: It was mentioned in the presence of `Aisha
that the Prophet had appointed `Ali as successor by will.
Thereupon she said, "Who said so? I saw the Prophet, while I
was supporting him against my chest. He asked for a tray, and
then fell on one side and expired, and I did not feel it. So
how (do the people say) he appointed `Ali as his successor?"
5.737:
Narrated Talha:
I asked `Abdullah bin Abu `Aufa "Did the Prophet make a will?
' He replied, "No." I further asked, "How comes it that the
making of a will was enjoined on the people or that they were
ordered to make it? " He said, "The Prophet made a will
concerning Allah's Book."
5.738:
Narrated 'Amir bin Al−Harith: Allah's Apostle did not leave a
Dinar or a Dirham or a male or a female slave. He left only
his white mule on which he used to ride, and his weapons, and
a piece of land which he gave in charity for the needy
travelers.
5.739:
Narrated Anas:
When the ailment of the Prophet got aggravated, he became
unconscious whereupon Fatima said, "Oh, how distressed my
father is!" He said, "Your father will have no more distress
after today." When he expired, she said, "O Father! Who has
responded to the call of the Lord Who has invited him! O
Father, whose dwelling place is the Garden of Paradise (i.e.
Al−Firdaus)! O Father! We convey this news (of your death) to
Gabriel." When he was buried, Fatima said, "O Anas! Do you
feel pleased to throw earth over Allah's Apostle?"
5.740:
Narrated `Aisha:
When the Prophet was healthy, he used to say, "No soul of a
prophet is captured till he is shown his place in Paradise and
then he is given the option." When death approached him while
his head was on my thigh, he became unconscious and then
recovered his consciousness. He then looked at the ceiling of
the house and said, "O Allah! (with) the highest companions."
I said (to myself), "Hence, he is not going to choose us."
Then I realized that what he had said was the application of
the narration which he used to mention to us when he was
healthy. The last word he spoke was, "O Allah! (with) the
highest companion."
5.741:
Narrated Aisha and Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet stayed for ten
years in Mecca with the Qur'an being revealed to him and he
stayed in Medina for ten years.'

commander of the troops (to be sent to Syria). The Muslims
spoke about Usama (unfavorably ). The Prophet said, " I have

that ) he is the most beloved of all people to me."
5.745:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: Allah's Apostle sent troops
appointed Usama bin Zaid as their commander. The people
criticized his leadership. Allah's Apostle got up and said,
"If you (people) are criticizing his (i.e. Usama's) leadership
you used to criticize the leadership of his father before. By
Allah, he (i.e. Zaid) deserved the leadership indeed, and he
used to be one of the most beloved persons to me, and now this
(i.e. his son, Usama) is one of the most beloved persons to me
after him."
5.746:
Narrated Ibn Abu Habib: Abu Al−Khair said, "As−Sanabih, I
asked (me), 'When did you migrate?' I (i.e. Abu Al−Khair)
said, 'We went out from Yemen as emigrants and arrived at
Al−Juhfa, and there came a rider whom I asked about the news.
The rider said: We buried the Prophet five days ago." I asked
(As−Sanabihi), 'Did you hear anything about the night of
Qadr?' He replied, 'Bilal, the Mu'adh−dhin of the Prophet
informed me that it is on one of the seven nights of the last
ten days (of Ramadan).
