Volume 5, Book 59, Number 286:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud:
From Sad bin Mu'adh: Sad bin Mu'adh was an intimate friend of Umaiya bin Khalaf and whenever Umaiya passed through Medina,
he used to stay with Sad, and whenever Sad went to Mecca, he used to stay with Umaiya. When Allah's Apostle arrived at Medina,
Sa'd went to perform 'Umra and stayed at Umaiya's home in Mecca. He said to Umaiya, "Tell me of a time when (the Mosque) is
empty so that I may be able to perform Tawaf around the Ka'ba." So Umaiya went with him about midday. Abu Jahl met them and
said, "O Abu Safwan! Who is this man accompanying you?" He said, "He is Sad." Abu Jahl addressed Sad saying, "I see you
wandering about safely in Mecca inspite of the fact that you have given shelter to the people who have changed their religion (i.e.
became Muslims) and have claimed that you will help them and support them. By Allah, if you were not in the company of Abu
Safwan, you would not be able to go your family safely." Sad, raising his voice, said to him, "By Allah, if you should stop me from
doing this (i.e. performing Tawaf) I would certainly prevent you from something which is more valuable for you, that is, your passage
through Medina." On this, Umaiya said to him, "O Sad do not raise your voice before Abu-l-Hakam, the chief of the people of the
Valley (of Mecca)." Sad said, "O Umaiya, stop that! By Allah, I have heard Allah's Apostle predicting that the Muslim will kill you."
Umaiya asked, "In Mecca?" Sad said, "I do not know." Umaiya was greatly scared by that news.
When Umaiya returned to his family, he said to his wife, "O Um Safwan! Don't you know what Sad told me? "She said, "What has he
told you?" He replied, "He claims that Muhammad has informed them (i.e. companions that they will kill me. I asked him, 'In Mecca?'
He replied, 'I do not know." Then Umaiya added, "By Allah, I will never go out of Mecca." But when the day of (the Ghazwa of)
Badr came, Abu Jahl called the people to war, saying, "Go and protect your caravan." But Umaiya disliked to go out (of Mecca). Abu
Jahl came to him and said, "O Abu Safwan! If the people see you staying behind though you are the chief of the people of the Valley,
then they will remain behind with you." Abu Jahl kept on urging him to go until he (i.e. Umaiya) said, "As you have forced me to
change my mind, by Allah, I will buy the best camel in Mecca. Then Umaiya said (to his wife). "O Um Safwan, prepare what I need
(for the journey)." She said to him, "O Abu Safwan! Have you forgotten what your Yathribi brother told you?" He said, "No, but I do
not want to go with them but for a short distance." So when Umaiya went out, he used to tie his camel wherever he camped. He kept
on doing that till Allah caused him to be killed at Badr.

will not say as the People of Moses said: Go you and your Lord and fight you two. (5.27). But we shall fight on your right and on your
left and in front of you and behind you." I saw the face of the Prophet getting bright with happiness, for that saying delighted him.

'Abdullah bin Zubair was killed, 'Abdul-Malik bin Marwan said to me, "O 'Urwa, do you recognize the sword of Az-Zubair?" I said,
"Yes." He said, "What marks does it have?" I replied, "It has a dent in its sharp edge which was caused in it on the day of Badr."
'Abdul- Malik said, "You are right! (i.e. their swords) have dents because of clashing with the regiments of the enemies Then 'Abdul-
Malik returned that sword to me (i.e. Urwa). (Hisham, 'Urwa's son said, "We estimated the price of the sword as three -thousand

you." So Az-Zubair attacked them (i.e. Byzantine) and pierced through their lines, and went beyond them and none of his companions
was with him. Then he returned and the enemy got hold of the bridle of his (horse) and struck him two blows (with the sword) on his
shoulder. Between these two wounds there was a scar caused by a blow, he had received on the day of Badr (battle). When I was a
child I used to play with those scars by putting my fingers in them. On that day (my brother) "Abdullah bin Az-Zubair was also with
him and he was ten years old. Az-Zubair had carried him on a horse and let him to the care of some men.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 314:

On the day of Badr, the Prophet ordered that the corpses of twenty four leaders of Quraish should be thrown into one of the dirty dry
wells of Badr. (It was a habit of the Prophet that whenever he conquered some people, he used to stay at the battle -field for three
nights. So, on the third day of the battle of Badr, he ordered that his she-camel be saddled, then he set out, and his companions
followed him saying among themselves." "Definitely he (i.e. the Prophet) is proceeding for some great purpose." When he halted at
the edge of the well, he addressed the corpses of the Quraish infidels by their names and their fathers' names, "O so-and-so, son of so-
and-so and O so-and-so, son of so-and-so! Would it have pleased you if you had obeyed Allah and His Apostle? We have found true
what our Lord promised us. Have you too found true what your Lord promised you? "'Umar said, "O Allah's Apostle! You are
speaking to bodies that have no souls!" Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, you do not hear, what I
say better than they do." (Qatada said, "Allah brought them to life (again) to let them hear him, to reprimand them and slight them and
take revenge over them and caused them to feel remorseful and regretful.")

punished for his crimes and sins while his family cry over him then." She added, "And this is similar to the statement of Allah's
Apostle when he stood by the (edge of the) well which contained the corpses of the pagans killed at Badr, 'They hear what I say.' She
added, "But he said now they know very well what I used to tell them was the truth." 'Aisha then recited: 'You cannot make the dead

if it is not so, then you shall see what I do?" He said, "May Allah be merciful to you! Have you lost your senses? Do you think there is
only one Paradise? There are many Paradises and your son is in the (most superior) Paradise of Al -Firdaus."

Allah's Apostle sent me, Abu Marthad and Az-Zubair, and all of us were riding horses, and said, "Go till you reach Raudat-Khakh
where there is a pagan woman carrying a letter from Hatib bin Abi Balta' a to the pagans of Mecca." So we found her riding her camel
at the place which Allah's Apostle had mentioned. We said (to her),"(Give us) the letter." She said, "I have no letter." Then we made
her camel kneel down and we searched her, but we found no letter. Then we said, "Allah's Apostle had not told us a lie, certainly.
Take out the letter, otherwise we will strip you naked." When she saw that we were determined, she put her hand below her waist belt,
for she had tied her cloak round her waist, and she took out the letter, and we brought her to Allah's Apostle Then 'Umar said, "O
Allah's Apostle! (This Hatib) has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers! Let me cut off his neck!" The Prophet asked Hatib,
"What made you do this?" Hatib said, "By Allah, I did not intend to give up my belief in Allah and His Apostle but I wanted to have
some influence among the (Mecca) people so that through it, Allah might protect my family and property. There is none of your
companions but has some of his relatives there through whom Allah protects his family and property." The Prophet said, "He has
spoken the truth; do no say to him but good." 'Umar said, "He as betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the faithful believers. Let me cut off
his neck!" The Prophet said, "Is he not one of the Badr warriors? May be Allah looked at the Badr warriors and said, 'Do whatever
you like, as I have granted Paradise to you, or said, 'I have forgiven you."' On this, tears came out of Umar's eyes, and he said, "Allah
and His Apostle know better."

Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf:
While I was fighting in the front file on the day (of the battle) of Badr, suddenly I looked behind and saw on my right and left two
young boys and did not feel safe by standing between them. Then one of them asked me secretly so that his companion may not hear,
"O Uncle! Show me Abu Jahl." I said, "O nephew! What will you do to him?" He said, "I have promised Allah that if I see him (i.e.
Abu Jahl), I will either kill him or be killed before I kill him." Then the other said the same to me secretly so that his companion
should not hear. I would not have been pleased to be in between two other men instead of them. Then I pointed him (i.e. Abu Jahl) out
to them. Both of them attacked him like two hawks till they knocked him down. Those two boys were the sons of 'Afra' (i.e. an Ansari
woman).
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 325:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle sent out ten spies under the command of 'Asim bin Thabit Al-Ansari, the grand-father of 'Asim bin 'Umar Al-Khattab.
When they reached (a place called) Al -Hadah between 'Usfan and Mecca, their presence was made known to a sub-tribe of Hudhail
called Banu Lihyan. So they sent about one hundred archers after them. The archers traced the footsteps (of the Muslims) till they
found the traces of dates which they had eaten at one of their camping places. The archers said, "These dates are of Yathrib (i.e.
Medina)," and went on tracing the Muslims' footsteps. When 'Asim and his companions became aware of them, they took refuge in a
(high) place. But the enemy encircled them and said, "Come down and surrender. We give you a solemn promise and covenant that
we will not kill anyone of you." 'Asim bin Thabit said, "O people! As for myself, I will never get down to be under the protection of
an infidel. O Allah! Inform your Prophet about us." So the archers threw their arrows at them and martyred 'Asim. Three of them
came down and surrendered to them, accepting their promise and covenant and they were Khubaib, Zaid bin Ad-Dathina and another
man. When the archers got hold of them, they untied the strings of the arrow bows and tied their captives with them. The third man
said, "This is the first proof of treachery! By Allah, I will not go with you for I follow the example of these." He meant the martyred
companions. The archers dragged him and struggled with him (till they martyred him). Then Khubaib and Zaid bin Ad-Dathina were
taken away by them and later on they sold them as slaves in Mecca after the event of the Badr battle.
The sons of Al-Harit bin 'Amr bin Naufal bought Khubaib for he was a person who had killed (their father) Al -Hari bin 'Amr on the
day (of the battle) of Badr. Khubaib remained imprisoned by the m till they decided unanimously to kill him. One day Khubaib
borrowed from a daughter of Al-Harith, a razor for shaving his public hair, and she lent it to him. By chance, while she was
inattentive, a little son of hers went to him (i.e. Khubaib) and she saw that Khubaib had seated him on his thigh while the razor was in
his hand. She was so much terrified that Khubaib noticed her fear and said, "Are you afraid that I will kill him? Never would I do such
a thing." Later on (while narrating the story) she said, "By Allah, I had never seen a better captive than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I
saw him eating from a bunch of grapes in his hand while he was fettered with iron chains and (at that time) there was no fruit in
Mecca." She used to say," It was food Allah had provided Khubaib with."
When they took him to Al-Hil out of Mecca sanctuary to martyr him, Khubaib requested them. "Allow me to offer a two-Rak'at
prayer." They allowed him and he prayed two Rakat and then said, "By Allah! Had I not been afraid that you would think I was
worried, I would have prayed more." Then he (invoked evil upon them) saying, "O Allah! Count them and kill them one by one, and
do not leave anyone of them"' Then he recited: "As I am martyred as a Muslim, I do not care in what way I receive my death for
Allah's Sake, for this is for the Cause of Allah. If He wishes, He will bless the cut limbs of my body." Then Abu Sarva, 'Ubqa bin Al -
Harith went up to him and killed him. It was Khubaib who set the tradition of praying for any Muslim to be martyred in captivity
(before he is executed). The Prophet told his companions of what had happened (to those ten spies) on the same day they were
martyred. Some Quraish people, being informed of 'Asim bin Thabit's death, sent some messengers to brin g a part of his body so that
his death might be known for certain, for he had previously killed one of their leaders (in the battle of Badr). But Allah sent a swarm
of wasps to protect the dead body of 'Asim, and they shielded him from the messengers who could not cut anything from his body.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 326:
Narrated Nafi:
Ibn 'Umar was once told that Said bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail, one of the Badr warriors, had fallen ill on a Friday. Ibn 'Umar rode to

Narrated Subaia bint Al-Harith: That she was married to Sad bin Khaula who was from the tribe of Bani 'Amr bin Luai, and was one
of those who fought the Badr battle. He died while she wa pregnant during Hajjat-ul-Wada.' Soon after his death, she gave birth to a
child. When she completed the term of deliver (i.e. became clean), she prepared herself for suitors. Abu As-Sanabil bin Bu'kak, a man
from the tribe of Bani Abd-ud-Dal called on her and said to her, "What! I see you dressed up for the people to ask you in marriage. Do
you want to marry By Allah, you are not allowed to marry unless four months and ten days have elapsed (after your husband's
death)." Subai'a in her narration said, "When he (i.e. Abu As-Sanabil) said this to me. I put on my dress in the evening and went to
Allah's Apostle and asked him about this problem. He gave the verdict that I was free to marry as I had already given birth to my child
and ordered me to marry if I wished."

his eyes were visible. He was surnamed Abu Dhat-al-Karish. He said (proudly), 'I am Abu-al-Karish.' I attacked him with the spear
and pierced his eye and he died. I put my foot over his body to pull (that spear) out, but even then I had to use a great force to take it
out as its both ends were bent." 'Urwa said, "Later on Allah's Apostle asked Az-Zubair for the spear and he gave it to him. When
Allah's Apostle died, Az-Zubair took it back. After that Abu Bakr demanded it and he gave it to him, and when Abu Bakr died, Az -
Zubair took it back. 'Umar then demanded it from him and he gave it to him. When 'Umar died, Az-Zubair took it back, and then
'Uthman demanded it from him and he gave it to him. When 'Uthman was martyred, the spear remained with Ali's offspring. Then
'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair demanded it back, and it remained with him till he was martyred.

fathers." (33.5)

I had a she-camel which I got in my share from the booty of the battle of Badr, and the Prophet had given me another she camel from
the Khumus which Allah had bestowed on him that day. And when I intended to celebrate my marriage to Fatima, the daughter of the
Prophet, I made an arrangement with a goldsmith from Bani Qainuqa 'that he should go with me to bring Idhkhir (i.e. a kind of grass
used by gold-smiths) which I intended to sell to gold-smiths in order to spend its price on the marriage banquet. While I was
collecting ropes and sacks of pack saddles for my two she-camels which were kneeling down beside an Ansari's dwelling and after
collecting what I needed, I suddenly found that the humps of the two she-camels had been cut off and their flanks had been cut open
and portions of their livers had been taken out. On seeing that, I could not help weeping. I asked, "Who has done that?" They (i.e. the
people) said, "Hamza bin 'Abdul Muttalib has done it. He is present in this house with some Ansari drinkers, a girl singer, and his
friends. The singer said in her song, "O Hamza, get at the fat she-camels!" On hearing this, Hamza rushed to his sword and cut of the
camels' humps and cut their flanks open and took out portions from their livers." Then I came to the Prophet, with whom Zaid bin
Haritha was present. The Prophet noticed my state and asked, "What is the matter?" I said, "O Allah's Apostle, I have never
experienced such a day as today! Hamza attacked my two she-camels, cut off their humps and cut their flanks open, and he is still
present in a house along some drinkers." The Prophet asked for his cloak, put it on, and proceeded, followed by Zaid bin Haritha and
myself, till he reached the house where Hamza was. He asked the permission to enter, and he was permitted. The Prophet started
blaming Hamza for what he had done. Hamza was drunk and his eyes were red. He looked at the Prophet then raised his eyes to look
at his knees and raised his eves more to look at his face and then said, "You are not but my father's slaves." When the Prophet
understood that Hamza was drunk, he retreated, walking backwards went out and we left with him.

suggested that he should marry Hafsa saying, "If you wish, I will marry Hafsa bint 'Umar to you,' on that, he said, 'I will think it over.'
I waited for a few days and then he said to me. 'I am of the opinion that I shall not marry at present.' Then I met Abu Bakr and said, 'if
you wish, I will marry you, Hafsa bint 'Umar.' He kept quiet and did not give me any reply and I became more angry with him than I
was with Uthman . Some days later, Allah's Apostle demanded her hand in marriage and I married her to him. Later on Abu Bakr met
me and said, "Perhaps you were angry with me when you offered me Hafsa for marriage and I gave no reply to you?' I said, 'Yes.' Abu
Bakr said, 'Nothing prevented me from accepting your offer except that I learnt that Allah's Apostle had referred to the issue of Hafsa
and I did not want to disclose the secret of Allah's Apostle , but had he (i.e. the Prophet) given her up I would surely have accepted
her."

said, "I think you have heard that Abu 'Ubaida has brought something?" They replied, "Indeed, it is so, O Allah's Apostle!" He said,
"Be happy, and hope for what will please you. By Allah, I am not afraid that you will be poor, but I fear that worldly wealth will be

The Prophet burnt the date-palm trees of Bani An-Nadir. Hassan bin Thabit said the following poetic Verses about this event:-- "the
terrible burning of Al-Buwaira Has been received indifferently By the nobles of Bani Luai (The masters and nobles of Quraish)." Abu
Sufyan bin Al-Harith (i.e. the Prophet's cousin who was still a disbeliever then) replied to Hassan, saying in poetic verses:-- "May
Allah bless that burning And set all its (i.e. Medina's) Parts on burning fire. You will see who is far from it (i.e. Al -Buwaira) And
which of our lands will be Harmed by it (i.e. the burning of Al-Buwaira)."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 367:
Narrated Malik bin Aus Al-Hadathan An-Nasri:
That once 'Umar bin Al-Khattab called him and while he was sitting with him, his gatekeeper, Yarfa came and said, "Will you admit
'Uthman, 'Abdur-Rahman bin Auf, AzZubair and Sad (bin Abi Waqqas) who are waiting for your perm ission?" 'Umar said, "Yes, let
them come in." After a while, Yarfa- came again and said, "Will you admit 'Ali and 'Abbas who are asking your permission?" 'Umar
said, "Yes." So, when the two entered, 'Abbas said, "O chief of the believers! Judge between me and this (i.e. 'Ali). "Both of them had
a dispute regarding the property of Bani An-Nadir which Allah had given to His Apostle as Fai (i.e. booty gained without fighting),
'Ali and 'Abbas started reproaching each other. The (present) people (i.e. 'Uthman and his companions) said, "O chief of the believers!
Give your verdict in their case and relieve each from) the other." 'Umar said, "Wait I beseech you, by Allah, by Whose Permission
both the heaven and the earth stand fast! Do you know that Allah's Apostle said, 'We (Prophets) our properties are not to be inherited,
and whatever we leave, is to be spent in charity,' and he said it about himself?" They (i.e. 'Uthman and his company) said, "He did say
it. "'Umar then turned towards 'Ali and 'Abbas and said, "I beseech you both, by Allah! Do you know that Allah's Apostle said this?"
They replied in the affirmative. He said, "Now I am talking to you about this matter. Allah the Glorified favored His Apostle with
something of this Fai (i.e. booty won without fighting) which He did not give to anybody else. Allah said:--
"And what Allah gave to His Apostle ("Fai"" Booty) from them--For which you made no expedition With either Calvary or camelry.
But Allah gives power to His Apostles Over whomsoever He will And Allah is able to do all things." (59.6)
So this property was especially granted to Allah's Apostle . But by Allah, the Prophet neither took it all for himself only, nor deprived
you of it, but he gave it to all of you and distributed it amongst you till only this remained out of it. And from this Allah's Apostle
used to spend the yearly maintenance for his family, and whatever used to remain, he used to spend it where Allah's Property is spent
(i.e. in charity), Allah's Apostle kept on acting like that during all his life, Then he died, and Abu Bakr said, 'I am the successor of
Allah's Apostle.' So he (i.e. Abu Bakr) took charge of this property and disposed of it in the same manner as Allah's Apostle used to
do, and all of you (at that time) knew all about it." Then 'Umar turned towards 'Ali and 'Abbas and said, "You both remember that
Abu Bakr disposed of it in the way you have described and Allah knows that, in that matter, he was sincere, pious, rightly guided and
the follower of the right. Then Allah caused Abu Bakr to die and I said, 'I am the successor of Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr.' So I
kept this property in my possession for the first two years of my rule (i.e. Caliphate and I used to dispose of it in the same wa as
Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr used to do; and Allah knows that I have been sincere, pious, rightly guided an the follower of the right
(in this matte Later on both of you (i.e. 'Ali and Abbas) came to me, and the claim of you both was one and the same, O 'Abbas! You
also came to me. So I told you both that Allah's Apostle said, "Our property is not inherited, but whatever we leave is to be given in
charity.' Then when I thought that I should better hand over this property to you both or the condition that you will promise and
pledge before Allah that you will dispose it off in the same way as Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr did and as I have done since the
beginning of my caliphate or else you should not speak to me (about it).' So, both of you said to me, 'Hand it over to us on this
condition.' And on this condition I handed it over to you. Do you want me now to give a decision other than that (decision)? By Allah,
with Whose Permission both the sky and the earth stand fast, I will never give any decision other than that (decision) till the Last Hour
is established. But if you are unable to manage it (i.e. that property), then return it to me, and I will manage on your behalf." The sub-
narrator said, "I told 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair of this Hadith and he said, 'Malik bin Aus has told the truth" I hear d 'Aisha, the wife of the
Prophet saying, 'The wives of the Prophet sent 'Uthman to Abu Bakr demanding from him their 1/8 of the Fai which Allah had
granted to his Apostle. But I used to oppose them and say to them: Will you not fear Allah? Don't you know that the Prophet used to
say: Our property is not inherited, but whatever we leave is to be given in charity? The Prophet mentioned that regarding himself. He
added: 'The family of Muhammad can take their sustenance from this property. So the wives of the Prophet stopped demanding it
when I told them of that.' So, this property (of Sadaqa) was in the hands of Ali who withheld it from 'Abbas and overpowered him.
Then it came in the hands of Hasan bin 'Ali, then in the hands of Husain bin 'Ali, and then in the hands of Ali bin Husain and Hasan
bin Hasan, and each of the last two used to manage it in turn, then it came in the hands of Zaid bin Hasan, and it was truly the Sadaqa
of Allah's Apostle ."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 368:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Fatima and Al'Abbas came to Abu Bakr, claiming their inheritance of the Prophet's land of Fadak and his share from Khaibar. Abu
Bakr said, "I heard the Prophet saying, 'Our property is not inherited, and whatever we leave is to be given in charity. But the family
of Muhammad can take their sustenance from this property.' By Allah, I would love to do good to the Kith and kin of Allah's Apostle
rather than to my own Kith and kin."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 369:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle said, "Who is willing to kill Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?" Thereupon Muhammad bin
Maslama got up saying, "O Allah's Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?" The Prophet said, "Yes," Muhammad bin Maslama said,
"Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab). "The Prophet said, "You may say it." Then Muhammad bin Maslama went
to Kab and said, "That man (i.e. Muhammad demands Sadaqa (i.e. Zakat) from us, and he has troubled us, and I have come to borrow
something from you." On that, Kab said, "By Allah, you will get tired of him!" Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Now as we have
followed him, we do not want to leave him unless and until we see how his end is going to be. Now we want you to lend us a camel
load or two of food." (Some difference between narrators about a camel load or two.) Kab said, "Yes, (I will lend you), but you should
mortgage something to me." Muhammad bin Mas-lama and his companion said, "What do you want?" Ka'b replied, "Mortgage your
women to me." They said, "How can we mortgage our women to you and you are the most handsome of the 'Arabs?" Ka'b said, "Then
mortgage your sons to me." They said, "How can we mortgage our sons to you? Later they would be abused by the people's saying
that so-and-so has been mortgaged for a camel load of food. That would cause us great disgrace, but we will mortgage our arms to
you." Muhammad bin Maslama and his companion promised Kab that Muhammad would return to him. He came to Kab at night
along with Kab's foster brother, Abu Na'ila. Kab invited them to come into his fort, and then he went down to them. His wife asked
him, "Where are you going at this time?" Kab replied, "None but Muhammad bin Maslama and my (foster) brother Abu Na'ila have
come." His wife said, "I hear a voice as if dropping blood is from him, Ka'b said. "They are none but my brother Muhammad bin
Maslama and my foster brother Abu Naila. A generous man should respond to a call at night even if invited to be killed." Muhammad
bin Maslama went with two men. (Some narrators mention the men as 'Abu bin Jabr. Al Harith bin Aus and Abbad bin Bishr). So
Muhammad bin Maslama went in together with two men, and sail to them, "When Ka'b comes, I will touch his hair and smell it, and
when you see that I have got hold of his head, strip him. I will let you smell his head." Kab bin Al-Ashraf came down to them
wrapped in his clothes, and diffusing perfume. Muhammad bin Maslama said. " have never smelt a better scent than this. Ka'b replied.
"I have got the best 'Arab women who know how to use the high class of perfume." Muhammad bin Maslama requested Ka'b "Will
you allow me to smell your head?" Ka'b said, "Yes." Muhammad smelt it and made his companions smell it as well. Then he
requested Ka'b again, "Will you let me (smell your head)?" Ka'b said, "Yes." When Muhammad got a strong hold of him, he said (to
his companions), "Get at him!" So they killed him and went to the Prophet and informed him. (Abu Rafi) was killed after Ka'b bin Al-
Ashraf."

him.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 371:
Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib:
Allah's Apostle sent some men from the Ansar to ((kill) Abu Rafi, the Jew, and appointed 'Abdullah bin Atik as their leader. Abu Rafi
used to hurt Allah's Apostle and help his enemies against him. He lived in his castle in the land of Hijaz. When those men approached
(the castle) after the sun had set and the people had brought back their livestock to their homes. Abdullah (bin Atik) said to his
companions, "Sit down at your places. I am going, and I will try to play a trick on the gate-keeper so that I may enter (the castle)." So
'Abdullah proceeded towards the castle, and when he approached the gate, he covered himself with his clothes, pretending to answer
the call of nature. The people had gone in, and the gate-keeper (considered 'Abdullah as one of the castle's servants) addressing him
saying, "O Allah's Servant! Enter if you wish, for I want to close the gate." 'Abdullah added in his story, "So I went in (the castle) and
hid myself. When the people got inside, the gate-keeper closed the gate and hung the keys on a fixed wooden peg. I got up and took
the keys and opened the gate. Some people were staying late at night with Abu Rafi for a pleasant night chat in a room of his. When
his companions of nightly entertainment went away, I ascended to him, and whenever I opened a door, I closed it from inside. I said
to myself, 'Should these people discover my presence, they will not be able to catch me till I have killed him.' So I reached him and
found him sleeping in a dark house amidst his family, I could not recognize his location in the house. So I shouted, 'O Abu Rafi!' Abu
Rafi said, 'Who is it?' I proceeded towards the source of the voice and hit him with the sword, and because of my perplexity, I could
not kill him. He cried loudly, and I came out of the house and waited for a while, and then went to him again and said, 'What is this
voice, O Abu Rafi?' He said, 'Woe to your mother! A man in my house has hit me with a sword! I again hit him severely but I did not
kill him. Then I drove the point of the sword into his belly (and pressed it through) till it touched his back, and I realized that I have
killed him. I then opened the doors one by one till I reached the staircase, and thinking that I had reached the ground, I stepped out
and fell down and got my leg broken in a moonlit night. I tied my leg with a turban and proceeded on till I sat at the gate, and said, 'I
will not go out tonight till I know that I have killed him.' So, when (early in the morning) the cock crowed, the announcer of the
casualty stood on the wall saying, 'I announce the death of Abu Rafi, the merchant of Hijaz. Thereupon I went to my companions and
said, 'Let us save ourselves, for Allah has killed Abu Rafi,' So I (along with my companions proceeded and) went to the Prophet and
described the whole story to him. "He said, 'Stretch out your (broken) leg. I stretched it out and he rubbed it and it became All right as
if I had never had any ailment whatsoever."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 372:
Narrated Al-Bara:
Allah's Apostle sent 'Abdullah bin 'Atik and 'Abdullah bin 'Utba with a group of men to Abu Rafi (to kill him). They proceeded till
they approached his castle, whereupon 'Abdullah bin Atik said to them, "Wait (here), and in the meantime I will go and see."
'Abdullah said later on, "I played a trick in order to enter the castle. By chance, they lost a donkey of theirs and came out carrying a
flaming light to search for it. I was afraid that they would recognize me, so I covered my head and legs and pretended to answer the
call to nature. The gatekeeper called, 'Whoever wants to come in, should come in before I close the gate.' So I went in and hid myself
in a stall of a donkey near the gate of the castle. They took their supper with Abu Rafi and had a chat till late at night. Then they went
back to their homes. When the voices vanished and I no longer detected any movement, I came out. I had seen where the gate-keeper
had kept the key of the castle in a hole in the wall. I took it and unlocked the gate of the castle, saying to myself, 'If these people
should notice me, I will run away easily.' Then I locked all the doors of their houses from outside while they were inside, and
ascended to Abu Rafi by a staircase. I saw the house in complete darkness with its light off, and I could not know where the man was.
So I called, 'O Abu Rafi!' He replied, 'Who is it?' I proceeded towards the voice and hit him. He cried loudly but my blow was futile.
Then I came to him, pretending to help him, saying with a different tone of my voice, ' What is wrong with you, O Abu Rafi?' He said,
'Are you not surprised? Woe on your mother! A man has come to me and hit me with a sword!' So again I aimed at him and hit him,
but the blow proved futile again, and on that Abu Rafi cried loudly and his wife got up. I came again and changed my voice as if I
were a helper, and found Abu Rafi lying straight on his back, so I drove the sword into his belly and bent on it till I heard the sound of
a bone break. Then I came out, filled with astonishment and went to the staircase to descend, but I fell down from it and got my leg
dislocated. I bandaged it and went to my companions limping. I said (to them), 'Go and tell Allah's Apostle of this good news, but I
will not leave (this place) till I hear the news of his (i.e. Abu Rafi's) death.' When dawn broke, an announcer of death got over the wall
and announced, 'I convey to you the news of Abu Rafi's death.' I got up and proceeded without feeling any pain till I caught up with
my companions before they reached the Prophet to whom I conveyed the good news."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 373:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
On the day of Uhud. the Prophet said, "This is Gabriel holding the head of his horse and equipped with war material.'
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 374:
Narrated Uqba bin Amir:
Allah's Apostle offered the funeral prayers of the martyrs of Uhud eight years after (their death), as if bidding farewell to the living
and the dead, then he ascended the pulpit and said, "I am your predecessor before you, and I am a witness on you, and your promised
place to meet me will be Al-Haud (i.e. the Tank) (on the Day of Resurrection), and I am (now) looking at it from this place of mine. I
am not afraid that you will worship others besides Allah, but I am afraid that worldly life will tempt you and cause you to compete
with each other for it." That was the last look which I cast on Allah's Apostle.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 375:
Narrated Al-Bara:
We faced the pagans on that day (of the battle of Uhud) and the Prophet placed a batch of archers (at a special place) and appointed
'Abdullah (bin Jubair) as their commander and said, "Do not leave this place; and if you should see us conquering the enemy, do not
leave this place, and if you should see them conquering us, do not (come to) help us," So, when we faced the enemy, they took to their
heel till I saw their women running towards the mountain, lifting up their clothes from their legs, revealing their leg-bangles. The
Muslims started saying, "The booty, the booty!" 'Abdullah bin Jubair said, "The Prophet had taken a firm promise from me not to
leave this place." But his companions refused (to stay). So when they refused (to stay there), (Allah) confused them so that they could
not know where to go, and they suffered seventy casualties. Abu Sufyan ascended a high place and said, "Is Muhammad present
amongst the people?" The Prophet said, "Do not answer him." Abu Sufyan said, "Is the son of Abu Quhafa present among the
people?" The Prophet said, "Do not answer him." Abd Sufyan said, "Is the son of Al-Khattab amongst the people?" He then added,
"All these people have been killed, for, were they alive, they would have replied." On that, 'Umar could not help saying, "You are a
liar, O enemy of Allah! Allah has kept what will make you unhappy." Abu Safyan said, "Superior may be Hubal!" On that the Prophet
said (to his companions), "Reply to him." They asked, "What may we say?" He said, "Say: Allah is More Elevated and More
Majestic!" Abu Sufyan said, "We have (the idol) Al-'Uzza, whereas you have no 'Uzza!" The Prophet said (to his companions),
"Reply to him." They said, "What may we say?" The Prophet said, "Say: Allah is our Helper and you have no helper." Abu Sufyan
said, "(This) day compensates for our loss at Badr and (in) the battle (the victory) is always undecided and shared in turns by the
belligerents. You will see some of your dead men mutilated, but neither did I urge this action, nor am I sorry for it." Narrated Jabir:
Some people took wine in the morning of the day of Uhud and were then killed as martyrs.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 376:
Narrated Sad bin Ibrahim:
A meal was brought to 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf while he was fasting. He said, "Musab bin 'Umar was martyred, and he was better
than I, yet he was shrouded in a Burda (i.e. a sheet) so that, if his head was covered, his feet became naked, and if his feet were
covered, his head became naked." 'Abdur-Rahman added, "Hamza was martyred and he was better than 1. Then worldly wealth was
bestowed upon us and we were given thereof too much. We are afraid that the reward of our deeds have been given to us in this life."
'Abdur-Rahman then started weeping so much that he left the food.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 377:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
On the day of the battle of Uhud, a man came to the Prophet and said, "Can you tell me where I will be if I should get martyred?" The
Prophet replied, "In Paradise." The man threw away some dates he was carrying in his hand, and fought till he was martyred .
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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
Sad bin Mu'adh (fleeing), and asked him, "Where are you going, O Sad? 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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 379:
Narrated Zaid bin Thabit:
When we wrote the Holy Quran, 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 Khuzaima 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" (33.23) So we wrote this in its place in the
Quran.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 384:
Narrated Sad 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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 385:

Allah's Apostle mentioned both his father and mother for me on the day of the battle of Uhud.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 387:
Narrated Ibn Al Musaiyab:
Sad 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 Sad) while the latter was fighting. "Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you!"

'Uthman said that on the day of the battle of Uhud, none remained with the Prophet but Talha and Sad.

Narrated As-Saib bin Yazid:
I have been in the company of 'AbdurRahman bin 'Auf, Talha bin 'Ubaidullah, Al-Miqdad and Sad, 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) .
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 392:
Narrated Qais:
I saw Talha's paralyzed hand with which he had protected the Prophet on the day of Uhud.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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).
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 394:
Narrated 'Aisha:
When it was the day of Uhud, the pagans were defea ted. 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).")
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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

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)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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 yo u 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."

Narrated Abu Hazim:
That he heard Sahl bin Sad 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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

Regarding the Holy Verse: "Those who responded (To the call) of Allah And the Apostle (Muhamm ad), 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.")
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 405:

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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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 Quran 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)."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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.

Abraham made Mecca a Sanctuary, and I have made Medina (i.e. the area between its two mountains) a Sanctuary as well."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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 i t 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 hi m 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 Rakat 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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 413:
Narrated Jabir:
The person who killed Khubaib was Abu Sarua (i.e. 'Uqba bin Al-Harith).
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 415:
Narrated Anas:
Allah's Apostle said Al-Qunut for one month after the posture of Bowing, invoking evil upon some 'Arab tribes.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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 t hey 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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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.'
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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 Al -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).
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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 Quranic 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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.

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 425:
Narrated Anas:
Allah's Apostle went out towards the Khandaq (i.e. Trench) and saw the Emigrants and t he 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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 m y 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.

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)."

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 prol ong his voice at the last words.

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 matte r 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 differ ences 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)."

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

Him, and He is able to do all things (i.e. Omnipotent). We are returning with repentance (to Allah) worshipping, prostr ating, and

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.

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

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 447:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The people of (Banu) Quraiza agreed to accept the verdict of Sad bin Mu'adh. So the Prophet sent for Sad, 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 Sad)." These (i.e. Banu Quraiza) have agreed to accept your verdict." Sad 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 448:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Sad 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 Sad's medial arm vein
(or main artery of the arm). The Prophet pitched a tent (for Sad) 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 Sad to give his
verdict concerning them. Sad 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, "Sad 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 Sad's wound. Sad then died because of that."

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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 Rakat) 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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 452:
Narrated Sahl bin Abi Hathma:
(describing the Fear prayer): The Imam stands up faci ng 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)

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.

Narrated Sinan and Abu Salama:
Jabir mentioned that he had participated in a Ghazwa towards Najd in the company of Allah's Apostle .
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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 Rakat 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 Rakat but the people offered two Rakat 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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 459:
Narrated Ibn Muhairiz:
I entered the Mosque and saw Abu Said Al-Khudri and sat beside him and asked him about Al-Azl (i.e. coitus interruptus). Abu Said
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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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 m y 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 lillahi 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 a nd 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.' Sad 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 Sad 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 Sad (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 Sad (bin Mu'adh) got up and said to Sad 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.'
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 Quran, 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 Apostl e 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............." (24.11-20)
Allah revealed those Quranic 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." (24.22)
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."

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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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."

'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."

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." (24.11)
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)."

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."

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.

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.

Apostle! We haven't got any water to perform ablution with or t o 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.'

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 Kab to feed six poor persons with one Faraq of food or slaughter a sheep or fast for three days.

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."

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

'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 pe ople 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 fa milies 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 !"

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.

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

good example to follow." (33.21)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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 Kaba." 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 Kaba, I will perform the Tawaf, and if something (i.e. obstacles) intervene between me and the Kaba, 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).
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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.'

against the people of Mecca so that nobody should harm him .
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 503:

sacrifice." (The sub-narrator, Aiyub said, "I do not know with which of these three options he started.")

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)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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)

bin Malik narrated it to me," and then narrated the whole story.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 508:
Narrated Suwaid bin An-Numan:
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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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 m an 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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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

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'.

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 514:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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.

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."

wound) thrice., and since then I have not had any pain in it till this hour."

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."

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

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.

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

(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

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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.' "

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."

Abu Huraira came to the Prophet and asked him (for a share from the Khaibar booty). On that, one of the sons of Said 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.

blaming me for (killing) a person whom Allah favored (with martyrdom) with my hand, and whom He forbade to degrade me with his
hand.'
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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).

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 Said and Abu Huraira said, "The

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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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 he left.

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

When Allah's Apostle and his companions arrived (at Mecca), the pagans said, "There have come to you a group of people who have

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.

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

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."

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

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.

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, o r 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 Quran) 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

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

the Ansar headed by Sad bin Ubada, the one holding the flag." Sad 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 Apost le 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 Sad bin 'Ubada said?" The Prophet said, "What did he say?" Abu Sufyan s aid, "He
said so-and-so." The Prophet said, "Sad 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.

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

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

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 Quranic 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.

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

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

to Medina before the Conquest) enjoyed the privileges of migration (i.e. there is no need for migration anymore)." I said to 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, sa id, "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).

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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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 st arted 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)."

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."

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, wher eupon the Prophet
smiled. The sub-narrator, Sufyan said once, "(The Prophet) smiled."

son of somebody other than his father knowingly, he will be denied Paradise (i.e. he will not enter Paradise).' "

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.'

what I will do for you).' The bedouin said, "(You have said to me) r ejoice 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.

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."

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

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

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

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

standing, sitting or riding my riding animals, at intervals and piecemeal." Muadh 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. Muadh) pitched a tent and they started

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. Rakat) 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

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."

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

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

(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."

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."

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 da tes, 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 va lue 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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 Sad 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 (ca mels) 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)."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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.

manumit her as she was from the descendants of (the Pr ophet) Ishmael; and, when their Zakat was brought, the Prophet said, "This is
the Zakat of my people."

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

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,

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

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 Rakat 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 Rakat. 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 Rakat, 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 Rakat (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 Rakat 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 Rakat which were offered after Zuhr compulsory prayer, and these two Rakat (you
have seen me offering) make up for those."

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."

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."

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

referring to the two liars between whom I am present; the ruler of Sana and the Ruler of Yamaha."

Narrated Abu Raja Al-Utaridi:

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.

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."

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."

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."

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"

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

"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-Tanim 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 r eturn from Mina, they performed another Tawaf

Statement of Allah:-- "And afterwards they are brought For sacrifice unto Ancient House (Ka'ba at Mecca)" (22.33) and from the

"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.

my Ihram unless I have slaughtered my Hadi."

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."

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 Rakat the Prophet had prayed. There was a red piece of marble at the place where he (i.e. the
Prophet) had offered the prayer.

Apostle." The Prophet said, " Let her then proceed on (to Medina)."

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."

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?"

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 Sad bin Khaula (not the above mentioned Sad) (died in Mecca) ."
Allah's Apostle pitied Sad for he died in Mecca.

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 Sad 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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 700:
Narrated Sad:
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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 701:
Narrated Safwan bin Yala bin Umaiya:
that his father said, "I participated in Al-Usra (i.e. Tabuk) along with the Prophet." Yala 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?"
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 702:
Narrated Abdullah bin Kab bin Malik:
Who, from among Kab's sons, was the guide of Kab when he became blind: I heard Kab bin Malik narrating the story of (the Ghazwa
of) Tabuk in which he failed to take part. Kab 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 Kab 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." Kab 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.'
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 F ajr 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 Quran) 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 Kab 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." Kab 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." Kab 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." Kab 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 tr uth
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) Kab 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.

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."

the people) said, "O Allah's Apostle! Even though they were at Medina?" He said, "Yes, because they were stopped by a genuine
excuse."

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." (Said bin Jubair, the

you have the (Holy) Quran. 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."

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!

chin."

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 in tending 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 wo olen 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)."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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."

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.

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 wi th 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.

turn. His wives allowed him to stay wherever he wished. So he stayed at 'Aisha's house t ill 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 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.

uncovered the Prophet's face and bowed over him and kissed hi m 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: Said bin Al -Musaiyab told me that 'Umar said, "By Allah, when I heard Abu Bakr reciting it, my legs could not

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,

consciousness. He then looked at the ceiling of the house and said, "O Allah! (with) the highest companions." I said (to myself),
