would look after his in Medina. When I mentioned the word 'Ar -Rahman' in the documents, Umaiya said, "I do not know 'Ar-
Rahman.' Write down to me your name, (with which you called yourself) in the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance." So, I wrote my
name ' 'Abdu 'Amr'. On the day (of the battle) of Badr, when all the people went to sleep, I went up the hill to protect him. Bilal(1) saw
him (i.e. Umaiya) and went to a gathering of Ansar and said, "(Here is) Umaiya bin Khalaf! Woe to me if he escapes!" So, a group of
Ansar went out with Bilal to follow us ('Abdur-Rahman and Umaiya). Being afraid that they would catch us, I left Umaiya's son for
them to keep them busy but the Ansar killed the son and insisted on following us. Umaiya was a fat man, and when they approached
us, I told him to kneel down, and he knelt, and I laid myself on him to protect him, but the Ansar killed him by passing their swords
underneath me, and one of them injured my foot with his sword. (The sub narrator said, " 'Abdur-Rahman used to show us the trace of
the wound on the back of his foot.")

Sa of this kind of dates (i.e. Janib), or exchange three Sa's for two." On that, the Prophet said, "Don't do so, as it is a kind of usury

option of restoring your properties or your captives, for I have delayed distributing them." The narrator added, Allah's Apostle c had
been waiting for them for more than ten days on his return from Taif. When they realized that Allah's Apostle would return to them
only one of two things, they said, "We choose our captives." So, Allah's Apostle got up in the gathering of the Muslims, praised Allah
as He deserved, and said, "Then after! These brethren of yours have come to you with repentance and I see it proper to return their
captives to them. So, whoever amongst you likes to do that as a favor, then he can do it, and whoever of you wants to stick to his share
till we pay him from the very first booty which Allah will give us then he can do so." The people replied, "We agree to give up our
shares willingly as a favor for Allah's Apostle." Then Allah's Apostle said, "We don't know who amongst you has agreed and who
hasn't. Go back and your chiefs may tell us your opinion." So, all of them returned and their chiefs discussed the matter with them and

riding a slow camel." He asked, "Do you have a stick?" I replied in the affirmative. He said, "Give it to me." When I gave it to him, he
beat the camel and rebuked it. Then that camel surpassed the others thenceforth. The Prophet said, "Sell it to me." I replied, "It is (a
gift) for you, O Allah's Apostle." He said, "Sell it to me. I have bought it for four Dinars (gold pieces) and you can keep on riding it till
Medina." When we approached Medina, I started going (towards my house). The Prophet said, "Where are you going?" I Sad, "I have
married a widow." He said, "Why have you not married a virgin to fondle with each other?" I said, "My father died and left daughters,
so I decided to marry a widow (an experienced woman) (to look after them)." He said, "Well done." When we reached Medina,

Sadaqa) (stealthily). I took hold of him and said, "By Allah, I will take you to Allah's Apostle ." He said, "I am needy and have many
dependents, and I am in great need." I released him, and in the morning Allah's Apostle asked me, "What did your prisoner do
yesterday?" I said, "O Allah's Apostle! The person complained of being needy and of having many dependents, so, I pitied him and let
him go." Allah's Apostle said, "Indeed, he told you a lie and he will be coming again." I believed that he would show up again as
Allah's Apostle had told me that he would return. So, I waited for him watchfully. When he (showed up and) started stealing handfuls
of foodstuff, I caught hold of him again and said, "I will definitely take you to Allah's Apostle. He said, "Leave me, for I am very
needy and have many dependents. I promise I will not come back again." I pitied him and let him go.
In the morning Allah's Apostle asked me, "What did your prisoner do." I replied, "O Allah's Apostle! He complained of his great need
and of too many dependents, so I took pity on him and set him free." Allah's Apostle said, "Verily, he told you a lie and he will
return." I waited for him attentively for the third time, and when he (came and) started stealing handfuls of the foodstuff, I caught hold
of him and said, "I will surely take you to Allah's Apostle as it is the third time you promise not to return, yet you break your promise
and come." He said, "(Forgive me and) I will teach you some words with which Allah will benefit you." I asked, "What are they?" He
replied, "Whenever you go to bed, recite "Ayat-al-Kursi"-- 'Allahu la ilaha illa huwa-l-Haiy-ul Qaiyum' till you finish the whole verse.
(If you do so), Allah will appoint a guard for you who will stay with you and no satan will come near you till morning. " So, I released
him. In the morning, Allah's Apostle asked, "What did your prisoner do yesterday?" I replied, "He claimed that he would teach me
some words by which Allah will benefit me, so I let him go." Allah's Apostle asked, "What are they?" I rep lied, "He said to me,
'Whenever you go to bed, recite Ayat-al-Kursi from the beginning to the end ---- Allahu la ilaha illa huwa-lHaiy-ul-Qaiyum----.' He
further said to me, '(If you do so), Allah will appoint a guard for you who will stay with you, and no satan will come near you till
morning.' (Abu Huraira or another sub -narrator) added that they (the companions) were very keen to do good deeds. The Prophet said,

Huraira?" Abu Huraira said, "No." He said, "It was Satan."
