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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 287:

I never failed to join Allah's Apostle in any of his Ghazawat except
in the Ghazwa of Tabuk. However, I did not take part in the Ghazwa of
Badr, but none who failed to take part in it, was blamed, for Allah's
Apostle had gone out to meet the caravans of (Quraish, but Allah
caused them (i.e. Muslims) to meet their enemy unexpectedly (with no
previous intention) .
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 288:

dearer to me than anything had I been the hero of that scene. He (i.e.
Al-Miqdad) came to the Prophet while the Prophet was urging the
Muslims to fight with the pagans. Al-Miqdad said, "We 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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 289:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
On the day of the battle of Badr, the Prophet said, "O Allah! I appeal

is that none should worship You (then give victory to the pagans)."

sufficient for you." The Prophet came out saying, "Their multitude
will be put to flight and they will show their backs." (54.45)

me." Later on I saw him killed as an infidel.
Narrated 'Urwa (the son of Az- Zubair): Az-Zubair had three scars
caused by the sword, one of which was over his shoulder and I used to
insert my fingers in it. He received two of those wounds on the day of
Badr and one on the day of Al-Yarmuk. When '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 (Dinars) and after that it was taken by one of us (i.e.
the inheritors) and I wish I could have had it.")
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 312:

On the day of (the battle) of Al-Yarmuk, the companions of Allah's
Apostle said to Az-Zubair, "Will you attack the enemy so that we shall
attack them with you?" Az-Zubair replied, "If I attack them, you
people would not support me." They said, "No, we will support 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:
Narrated Abu Talha:
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.")

(the infidels of) Quraish and Muhammad is Allah's Blessing. Regarding
Allah's Statement:"..and have led their people Into the house of
destruction? (14.29) Ibn 'Abbas said, "It means the Fire they will
suffer from (after their death) on the day of Badr."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 316:
Narrated Hisham's father:
It was mentioned before 'Aisha that Ibn 'Umar attributed the following
statement to the Prophet "The dead person is punished in the grave
because of the crying and lamentation Of his family." On that, 'Aisha
said, "But Allah's Apostle said, 'The dead person is 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 hear.' (30.52) and 'You
cannot make those who are in their Graves, hear you.' (35.22) that
is, when they had taken their places in the (Hell) Fire.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 317:

know very well that what I used to tell them was the truth.' Then she
recited (the Holy Verse):-- "You cannot make the dead hear... ...till
the end of Verse)." (30.52)

Narrated Anas:
Haritha was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and he was a

Apostle! You know how dear Haritha is to me. If he is in Paradise, I
shall remain patient, and hope for reward from Allah, but 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 319:
Narrated 'Ali:
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 Al-Bara' bin 'Azib:
On the day of Uhud the Prophet appointed 'Abdullah bin Jubair as chief
of the archers, and seventy among us were injured and martyred. On the
day (of the battle) of Badr, the Prophet and his companions had
inflicted 140 casualties on the pagans, 70 were taken prisoners, and
70 were killed. Abu Sufyan said, "This is a day of (revenge) for the
day of Badr and the issue of war is undecided ."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 323:
Narrated Abu Musa:
That the Prophet said, "The good is what Allah gave us later on (after
Uhud), and the reward of truthfulness is what Allah gave us after the
day (of the battle) of Badr."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 324:
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 them 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 bring 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 him
late in the forenoon. The time of the Friday prayer approached and Ibn
'Umar did not take part in the Friday prayer.
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."

offered him some meat of sacrifices offered at 'Id ul Adha. On that he
said, "I will not eat it before asking (whether it is allowed)." He
went to his maternal brother, Qatada bin N i 'man, who was one of the
Badr warriors, and asked him about it. Qatada said, "After your
departure, an order was issued by the Prophet cancelling the
prohibition of eating sacrifices after three days."

Narrated 'Urwa:
Az-Zubair said, "I met Ubaida bin Said bin Al-As on the day (of the
battle) of Badr and he was covered with armor; so much that only 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.

freed slave of an Ansari woman. Allah's Apostle also adopted Zaid as
his son. In the Pre-lslamic period of ignorance the custom was that,
if one adopted a son, the people would call him by the name of the
adopted-father whom he would inherit as well, till Allah revealed:
"Call them (adopted sons) By (the names of) their 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.

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."

Bahrain. When the Ansar heard of the arrival of Abu 'Ubaida (on the

the morning prayer had finished, they presented themselves before him.
On seeing the Ansar, Allah's Apostle smiled and 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 bestowed upon you as it
was bestowed upon those who lived before you. So you will compete
amongst yourselves for it, as they competed for it and it will destroy
you as it did them."

should not kill him." Al-Miqdad said, "O Allah's Apostle! But he had
cut off one of my two hands, and then he had uttered those words?"

on their stems. It was by Allah's Permission." (59.5)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 366:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
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 permission?" '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 heard '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."

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:
Narrated Sad bin Abi Waqqas:
The Prophet took out a quiver (of arrows) for me on the day of Uhud
and said, "Throw (arrows); let my father and mother be sacrificed for
you."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 386:
Narrated Sad:
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!"
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 388:
Narrated 'Ali: I have never heard the Prophet mentioning both his
father and mother for anybody other than Sad.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 389:
Narrated 'Ali: I have never heard the Prophet mentioning his father
and mother for anybody other than Sad bin Malik. I heard him saying on
the day of Uhud, "O Sad throw (arrows)! Let my father and mother be
sacrificed for you !"
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 390:
Narrated Mu'tamir's father:
'Uthman said that on the day of the battle of Uhud, none remained with
the Prophet but Talha and Sad.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 391:
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 defeated. Then Satan,
Allah's Curse be upon him, cried loudly, "O Allah's Worshippers,
beware of what is behind!" On that, the front files of the (Muslim)
forces turned their backs and started fighting with the back files.
Hudhaifa looked, and on seeing his father Al-Yaman, he shouted, "O
Allah's Worshippers, my father, my father!" But by Allah, they did not
stop till they killed him. Hudhaifa said, "May Allah forgive you."
(The sub-narrator, 'Urwa, said, "By Allah, Hudhaifa continued asking
Allah's Forgiveness for the killers of his father till he departed to
Allah (i.e. died).")
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 returned
defeated, and that what is referred to by Allah's Statement:-- "And
the Apostle (Muhammad) in your rear was calling you." (3.153)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 397:
Narrated Salim's father:
That he heard Allah's Apostle, when raising his head from bowing of
the first Rak'a of the morning prayer, saying, "O Allah! Curse
so-and-so and so-and-so" after he had said, "Allah hears him who sends
his praises to Him. Our Lord, all the Praises are for you!" So Allah
revealed:-- "Not for you (O Muhammad! )......(till the end of Verse)
they are indeed wrong-doers." (3.128) Salim bin 'Abdullah said'
"Allah's Apostle used to invoke evil upon Safwan bin Umaiya, Suhail
bin 'Amr and Al-Harith bin Hisham. So the Verse was revealed:-- "Not
for you (O Muhammad!)......(till the end of Verse) For they are indeed
wrong-doers." (3.128)
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 you who
killed Hamza?' I replied, 'What happened is what you have been told
of.' He said, 'Can you hide your face from me?' So I went out when
Allah's Apostle died, and Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab appeared (claiming to
be a prophet). I said, 'I will go out to Musailamah so that I may kill
him, and make amends for killing Hamza. So I went out with the people
(to fight Musailamah and his followers) and then famous events took
place concerning that battle. Suddenly I saw a man (i.e. Musailamah)
standing near a gap in a wall. He looked like an ash-colored camel and
his hair was dishevelled. So I threw my spear at him, driving it into
his chest in between his breasts till it passed out through his
shoulders, and then an Ansari man attacked him and struck him on the
head with a sword. 'Abdullah bin 'Umar said, 'A slave girl on the roof
of a house said: Alas! The chief of the believers (i.e. Musailamah)
has been killed by a black slave."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 400:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle (pointing to his broken canine tooth) said, "Allah's
Wrath has become severe on the people who harmed His Prophet. Allah's
Wrath has become severe on the man who is killed by the Apostle of
Allah in Allah's Cause."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 401:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas
Allah's Wrath became severe on him whom the Prophet had killed in
Allah's Cause. Allah's Wrath became severe on the people who caused
the face of Allah's Prophet to bleed.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 402:
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 Allah's Apostle
to bleed

Narrated 'Aisha:
Regarding the Holy Verse: "Those who responded (To the call) of Allah
And the Apostle (Muhammad), After being wounded, For those of them Who
did good deeds And refrained from wrong, there is a great reward."
(3.172)
She said to 'Urwa, "O my nephew! Your father, Az-Zubair and Abu Bakr
were amongst them (i.e. those who responded to the call of Allah and
the Apostle on the day (of the battle of Uhud). When Allah's Apostle,
suffered what he suffered on the day of Uhud and the pagans left, the
Prophet was afraid that they might return. So he said, 'Who will go on
their (i.e. pagans') track?' He then selected seventy men from amongst
them (for this purpose)." (The sub-narrator added, "Abu Bakr and
Az-Zubair were amongst them.")
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 405:
Narrated Qatada:
We do not know of any tribe amongst the 'Arab tribes who lost more
martyrs than Al-Ansar, and they will have superiority on the Day of
Resurrection. Anas bin Malik told us that seventy from the Ansar were
martyred on the day of Uhud, and seventy on the day (of the battle of)
Bir Ma'una, and seventy on the day of Al-Yamama. Anas added, "The
battle of Bir Ma'una took place during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle
and the battle of Al-Yamama, during the caliphate of Abu Bakr, and it
was the day when Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab was killed."
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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 409:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "This is a mountain that loves us and is loved by
us."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 410:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
When the mountain of Uhud appeared before Allah's Apostle he said,
"This IS a mountain that loves us and is loved by us. O, Allah!
Abraham made Mecca a Sanctuary, and I have made Medina (i.e. the area
between its two mountains) a Sanctuary as well."
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 it on his thigh.
When I saw it, I got scared so much that Khubaib noticed my distress
while he was carrying the razor in his hand. He said 'Are you afraid
that I will kill it? Allah willing, I will never do that,' " Later on
she used to say, "I have never seen a captive better than Khubaib Once
I saw him eating from a bunch of grapes although at that time no
fruits were available at Mecca, and he was fettered with iron chains,
and in fact, it was nothing but food bestowed upon him by Allah." So
they took him out of the Sanctuary (of Mecca) to kill him. He said,
"Allow me to offer a two-Rak'at prayer." Then he went to them and
said, "Had I not been afraid that you would think I was afraid of
death, I would have prayed for a longer time." So it was Khubaib who
first set the tradition of praying two 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 they were at the well of Ma'una,
the infidels killed them by betraying them. When this news reached the
Prophet , he said Al-Qunut for one month In the morning prayer,
invoking evil upon some of the 'Arab tribes, upon Ril, Dhakwan,
'Usaiya and Bani Libyan. We used to read a verse of the Qur'an
revealed in their connection, but later the verse was cancelled. It
was: "convey to our people on our behalf the information that we have
met our Lord, and He is pleased with us, and has made us pleased."
(Anas bin Malik added:) Allah's Prophet said Qunut for one month in
the morning prayer, invoking evil upon some of the 'Arab tribes
(namely), Ril, Dhakwan, Usaiya, and Bani Libyan. (Anas added:) Those
seventy Ansari men were killed at the well of Mauna.
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 424:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
We were with Allah's Apostle in the Trench, and some were digging the
trench while we were carrying the earth on our shoulders. Allah's
Apostle said, 'O Allah! There is no life except the life of the
Hereafter, so please forgive the Emigrants and the Ansar."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 425:
Narrated Anas:
Allah's Apostle went out towards the Khandaq (i.e. Trench) and saw the
Emigrants and the Ansar digging the trench in the cold morning. They
had no slaves to do that (work) for them. When the Prophet saw their
hardship and hunger, he said, 'O Allah! The real life is the life of
the Hereafter, so please forgive Ansar and the Emigrants." They said
in reply to him, "We are those who have given the Pledge of
allegiances to Muhammad for to observe Jihad as long as we live."
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 my wife). Call a lady-baker to bake along with
you and keep on taking out scoops from your earthenware meat-pot, and
do not put it down from its fireplace." They were one-thousand (who
took their meals), and by Allah they all ate, and when they left the
food and went away, our earthenware pot was still bubbling (full of
meat) as if it had not decreased, and our dough was still being baked
as if nothing had been taken from it.

(33.10) That happened on the day of Al-Khandaq (i.e. Trench).
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 430:
Narrated Al-Bara:
The Prophet was carrying earth on the day of Al-Khandaq till his
abdomen was fully covered with dust, and he was saying, "By Allah,
without Allah we would not have been guided, neither would we have
given in charity, nor would we have prayed. So (O Allah), please send
Sakina (i.e. calmness) upon us, and make our feet firm if we meet the
enemy as the enemy have rebelled against us, and if they intended
affliction, (i.e. want to frighten us and fight against us then we
would not flee but withstand them)." The Prophet used to raise his
voice saying, "Abaina! Abaina! (i.e. would not, we would not)."

When it was the day of Al-Ahzab (i.e. the clans) and Allah's Apostle
dug the trench, I saw him carrying earth out of the trench till dust
made the skin of his abdomen out of my sight and he was a hairy man. I
heard him reciting the poetic verses composed by Ibn Rawaha while he
was carrying the earth, "O Allah! Without You we would not have been
guided, nor would we have given in charity, nor would we have prayed.
So, (O Allah), please send Sakina (i.e. calmness) upon us and make our
feet firm if we meet the enemy, as they have rebelled against us. And
if they intend affliction (i.e. want to frighten us, and fight against
us) then we would not (flee but withstand them)." The Prophet would
then prolong his voice at the last words.

Ibn 'Umar said, "I went to Hafsa while water was dribbling from her
twined braids. I said, 'The condition of the people is as you see, and
no authority has been given to me.' Hafsa said, (to me), 'Go to them,
and as they (i.e. the people) are waiting for you, and I am afraid
your absence from them will produce division amongst them.' " So Hafsa
did not leave Ibn 'Umar till we went to them. When the people
differed. Muawiya addressed the people saying, "'If anybody wants to
say anything in this matter of the Caliphate, he should show up and
not conceal himself, for we are more rightful to be a Caliph than he
and his father." On that, Habib bin Masalama said (to Ibn 'Umar), "Why
don't you reply to him (i.e. Muawiya)?" 'Abdullah bin 'Umar said, "I
untied my garment that was going round my back and legs while I was
sitting and was about to say, 'He who fought against you and against
your father for the sake of Islam, is more rightful to be a Caliph,'
but I was afraid that my statement might produce differences amongst
the people and cause bloodshed, and my statement might be interpreted
not as I intended. (So I kept quiet) remembering what Allah has
prepared in the Gardens of Paradise (for those who are patient and
prefer the Hereafter to this worldly life)." Habib said, "You did what
kept you safe and secure (i.e. you were wise in doing so)."

set and he was abusing the infidels of Quraish saying, "O Allah's
Apostle! I was unable to offer the ('Asr) prayer till the sun was
about to set." The Prophet said, "By Allah, I have not offered this
(i.e. 'Asr) prayer." So we came down along with the Prophet to Buthan
where he performed ablution for the prayer and then we performed the
ablution for it. Then he offered the 'Asr prayer after the sun had
set, and after it he offered the Maghrib prayer.

news of the people?" AzZubair said, "I." The Prophet again said, "Who
will bring us the news of the people?" Az-Zubair said, "I." The

"None has the right to be worshipped except Allah alone Who has no
partners. To Him belongs the Kingdom, all praises are for Him, and He
is able to do all things (i.e. Omnipotent). We are returning with
repentance (to Allah) worshipping, prostrating, and praising our Lord.

his arms and took a bath, Gabriel came and said (to the Prophet ), You
have laid down your arms? By Allah, we angels have not laid them down
yet. So set out for them." The Prophet said, "Where to go?" Gabriel
said, "Towards this side," pointing towards Banu Quraiza. So the
Prophet went out towards them.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 444:
Narrated Anas:
As if I am just now looking at the dust rising in the street of Banu
Ghanm (in Medina) because of the marching of Gabriel's regiment when
Allah's Apostle set out to Banu Quraiza (to attack them).
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 445:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
On the day of Al-Ahzab (i.e. Clans) the Prophet said, "None of you
Muslims) should offer the 'Asr prayer but at Banu Quraiza's place."
The 'Asr prayer became due for some of them on the way. Some of those
said, "We will not offer it till we reach it, the place of Banu
Quraiza," while some others said, "No, we will pray at this spot, for
the Prophet did not mean that for us." Later on It was mentioned to
the Prophet and he did not berate any of the two groups.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 446:
Narrated Anas:
Some (of the Ansar) used to present date palm trees to the Prophet
till Banu Quraiza and Banu An-Nadir were conquered (then he returned
to the people their date palms). My people ordered me to ask the
Prophet to return some or all the date palms they had given to him,
but the Prophet had given those trees to Um Aiman. On that, Um Aiman
came and put the garment around my neck and said, "No, by Him except
Whom none has the right to be worshipped, he will not return those
trees to you as he (i.e. the Prophet ) has given them to me." The
Prophet go said (to her), "Return those trees and I will give you so
much (instead of them)." But she kept on refusing, saying, "No, by
Allah," till he gave her ten times the number of her date palms.
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 449:
Narrated Al-Bara:
The Prophet said to Hassan, "Abuse them (with your poems), and Gabriel
is with you (i.e, supports you)." (Through another group of sub
narrators) Al-Bara bin Azib said, "On the day of Quraiza's (besiege),
Allah's Apostle said to Hassan bin Thabit, 'Abuse them (with your
poems), and Gabriel is with you (i.e. supports you).' "
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 facing the Qibla and
one batch of them (i.e. the army) (out of the two) prays along with
him and the other batch faces the enemy. The Imam offers one Rak'a
with the first batch they themselves stand up alone and offer one
bowing and two prostrations while they are still in their place, and
then go away to relieve the second batch, and the second batch comes
(and takes the place of the first batch in the prayer behind the Imam)
and he offers the second Rak'a with them. So he completes his
two-Rak'at and then the second batch bows and prostrates two
prostrations (i.e. complete their second Rak'a and thus all complete
their prayer)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 453:
Narrated Salih bin Hathma:
The Prophet said as above (Hadith 452).
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 454:

I took part in a Ghazwa towards Najd along with Allah's Apostle and we
clashed with the enemy, and we lined up for them.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 456:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle led the Fear-prayer with one of the two batches of the
army while the other (batch) faced the enemy. Then the first batch
went away and took places of their companions (i.e. second batch) and
the second batch came and he led his second Rak'a with them. Then he
(i.e. the Prophet: finished his prayer with Taslim and then each of
the two batches got up and completed their remaining one Rak'a.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 457:
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 my search for it detained me. (In
the meanwhile) the people who used to carry me on my camel, came and
took my howdah and put it on the back of my camel on which I used to
ride, as they considered that I was in it. In those days women were
light in weight for they did not get fat, and flesh did not cover
their bodies in abundance as they used to eat only a little food.
Those people therefore, disregarded the lightness of the howdah while
lifting and carrying it; and at that time I was still a young girl.
They made the camel rise and all of them left (along with it). I found
my necklace after the army had gone.
Then I came to their camping place to find no call maker of them, nor
one who would respond to the call. So I intended to go to the place
where I used to stay, thinking that they would miss me and come back
to me (in my search). While I was sitting in my resting place, I was
overwhelmed by sleep and slept. Safwan bin Al-Muattal As-Sulami
Adh-Dhakwani was behind the army. When he reached my place in the
morning, he saw the figure of a sleeping person and he recognized me
on seeing me as he had seen me before the order of compulsory veiling
(was prescribed). So I woke up when he recited Istirja' (i.e. "Inna
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 and the one who spread the Ifk (i.e. slander) more, was
'Abdullah bin Ubai Ibn Salul."
(Urwa said, "The people propagated the slander and talked about it in
his (i.e. 'Abdullah's) presence and he confirmed it and listened to it
and asked about it to let it prevail." Urwa also added, "None was
mentioned as members of the slanderous group besides ('Abdullah)
except Hassan bin Thabit and Mistah bin Uthatha and Hamna bint Jahsh
along with others about whom I have no knowledge, but they were a
group as Allah said. It is said that the one who carried most of the
slander was 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul." Urwa added, "'Aisha
disliked to have Hassan abused in her presence and she used to say,
'It was he who said: My father and his (i.e. my father's) father and
my honor are all for the protection of Muhammad's honor from you.").
'Aisha added, "After we returned to Medina, I became ill for a month.
The people were propagating the forged statements of the slanderers
while I was unaware of anything of all that, but I felt that in my
present ailment, I was not receiving the same kindness from Allah's
Apostle as I used to receive when I got sick. (But now) Allah's
Apostle would only come, greet me and say,' How is that (lady)?' and
leave. That roused my doubts, but I did not discover the evil (i.e.
slander) till I went out after my convalescence, I went out with Um
Mistah to Al-Manasi' where we used to answer the call of nature and we
used not to go out (to answer the call of nature) except at night, and
that was before we had latrines near our houses. And this habit of our
concerning evacuating the bowels, was similar to the habits of the old
'Arabs living in the deserts, for it would be troublesome for us to
take latrines near our houses. So I and Um Mistah who was the daughter
of Abu Ruhm bin Al-Muttalib bin Abd Manaf, whose mother was the
daughter of Sakhr bin 'Amir and the aunt of Abu Bakr As-Siddiq and
whose son was Mistah bin Uthatha bin 'Abbas bin Al-Muttalib, went out.
I and Um Mistah returned to my house after we finished answering the
call of nature. Um Mistah stumbled by getting her foot entangled in
her covering sheet and on that she said, 'Let Mistah be ruined!' I
said, 'What a hard word you have said. Do you abuse a man who took
part in the battle of Badr?' On that she said, 'O you Hantah! Didn't
you hear what he (i.e. Mistah) said? 'I said, 'What did he say?'
Then she told me the slander of the people of Ifk. So my ailment was
aggravated, and when I reached my home, Allah's Apostle came to me,
and after greeting me, said, 'How is that (lady)?' I said, 'Will you
allow me to go to my parents?' as I wanted to be sure about the news
through them. Allah's Apostle allowed me (and I went to my parents)
and asked my mother, 'O mother! What are the people talking about?'
She said, 'O my daughter! Don't worry, for scarcely is there a
charming woman who is loved by her husband and whose husband has other
wives besides herself that they (i.e. women) would find faults with
her.' I said, 'Subhan-Allah! (I testify the uniqueness of Allah). Are
the people really talking in this way?' I kept on weeping that night
till dawn I could neither stop weeping nor sleep then in the morning
again, I kept on weeping. When the Divine Inspiration was delayed.
Allah's Apostle called 'Ali bin Abi Talib and Usama bin Zaid to ask
and consult them about divorcing me. Usama bin Zaid said what he knew
of my innocence, and the respect he preserved in himself for me. Usama
said, '(O Allah's Apostle!) She is your wife and we do not know
anything except good about her.' 'Ali bin Abi Talib said, 'O Allah's
Apostle! Allah does not put you in difficulty and there are plenty of
women other than she, yet, ask the maid-servant who will tell you the
truth.' On that Allah's Apostle called Barira (i.e. the maid-servant)
and said, 'O Barira! Did you ever see anything which aroused your
suspicion?' Barira said to him, 'By Him Who has sent you with the
Truth. I have never seen anything in her (i.e. Aisha) which I would
conceal, except that she is a young girl who sleeps leaving the dough
of her family exposed so that the domestic goats come and eat it.'
So, on that day, Allah's Apostle got up on the pulpit and complained
about 'Abdullah bin Ubai (bin Salul) before his companions, saying, 'O
you Muslims! Who will relieve me from that man who has hurt me with
his evil statement about my family? By Allah, I know nothing except
good about my family and they have blamed a man about whom I know
nothing except good and he used never to enter my home except with
me.' 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 Apostle was over, he got up smiling, and the
first word he said was, 'O 'Aisha! Allah has declared your innocence!'
Then my Mother said to me, 'Get up and go to him (i.e. Allah's
Apostle). I replied, 'By Allah, I will not go to him, and I praise
none but Allah. So Allah revealed the ten Verses:-- "Verily! They who
spread the slander Are a gang, among you............." (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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 463:
Narrated Az-Zuhri:
Al-Walid bin 'Abdul Malik said to me, "Have you heard that 'Ali' was
one of those who slandered 'Aisha?" I replied, "No, but two men from
your people (named) Abu Salama bin 'Abdur-Rahman and Abu Bakr bin
Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Harith have informed me that Aisha told them that
'Ali remained silent about her case."
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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 465:
Narrated Ibn Abi Malaika:
'Aisha used to recite this Verse:-- 'Ida taliqunahu bi-alsinatikum'
(24.15) "(As you tell lie with your tongues.)" and used to say
"Al-Walaq" means "telling of a lie. "She knew this Verse more than
anybody else as it was revealed about her.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 466:
Narrated Hisham's father:
I started abusing Hassan in front of 'Aisha. She said, "Do not abuse
him as he used to defend Allah's Apostle (against the infidels).
'Aisha added, "Once Hassan took the permission from the Prophet to say
poetic verses against the infidels. On that the Prophet said, 'How
will you exclude my forefathers (from that)? Hassan replied, 'I will
take you out of them as one takes a hair out of the dough." Hisham's
father added, "I abused Hassan as he was one of those who spoke
against 'Aisha."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 467:
Narrated Masruq:
We went to 'Aisha while Hassan bin Thabit was with her reciting poetry
to her from some of his poetic verses, saying "A chaste wise lady
about whom nobody can have suspicion. She gets up with an empty
stomach because she never eats the flesh of indiscreet (ladies)."
'Aisha said to him, "But you are not like that." I said to her, "Why
do you grant him admittance, though Allah said:-- "and as for him
among them, who had the greater share therein, his will be a severe
torment." (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)."

We went out with Allah's Apostle in the year of Al-Hudaibiya. One
night it rained and Allah's Apostle led us in the Fajr prayer and
(after finishing it), turned to us and said, " Do you know what your
Lord has said?" We replied, "Allah and His Apostle know it better." He
said, "Allah said:-- "(Some of) My slaves got up believing in Me, And
(some of them) disbelieving in Me. The one who said: We have been
given Rain through Allah's Mercy and Allah's Blessing and Allah's
Bounty, Then he is a believer in Me, and is a Disbeliever in the star.
And whoever said: We have been given rain because of such-and-such
star, Then he is a believer in the star, and is a disbeliever in Me."

Narrated Al-Bara:
Do you (people) consider the conquest of Mecca, the Victory (referred
to in the Qur'an 48:1). Was the conquest of Mecca a victory? We really
consider that the actual Victory was the Ar-Ridwan Pledge of
allegiance which we gave on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (to the Prophet) .
On the day of Al-Hudaibiya we were fourteen hundred men along with the
Prophet Al-Hudaibiya was a well, the water of which we used up leaving
not a single drop of water in it. When the Prophet was informed of
that, he came and sat on its edge. Then he asked for a utensil of
water, performed ablution from it, rinsed (his mouth), invoked
(Allah), and poured the remaining water into the well. We stayed there
for a while and then the well brought forth what we required of water
for ourselves and our riding animals.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 472:
Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib:
That they were in the company of Allah's Apostle on the day of
Al-Hudaibiya and their number was 1400 or more. They camped at a well
and drew its water till it was dried. When they informed Allah's
Apostle of that, he came and sat over its edge and said, "Bring me a
bucket of its water." When it was brought, he spat and invoked (Allah)
and said, "Leave it for a while." Then they quenched their thirst and
watered their riding animals (from that well) till they departed.

'What is wrong with you?' The people said, 'O Allah's Apostle! We
haven't got any water to perform ablution with or to drink, except
what you have in your utensil.' So the Prophet put his hand in the
utensil and the water started spouting out between his fingers like
springs. So we drank and performed ablution." I said to Jabir, "What
was your number on that day?" He replied, "Even if we had been one
hundred thousand, that water would have been sufficient for us.
Anyhow, we were 1500.'

of allegiance was given by us)," Salim said, "Our number was 1400."

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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 479:
Narrated Aslam:
Once I went with 'Umar bin Al-Khattab to the market. A young woman
followed 'Umar and said, "O chief of the believers! My husband has
died, leaving little children. By Allah, they have not even a sheep's
trotter to cook; they have no farms or animals. I am afraid that they
may die because of hunger, and I am the daughter of Khufaf bin Ima
Al-Ghafari, and my father witnessed the Pledge of allegiance) of
Al-Hudaibiya with the Prophet.' Umar stopped and did not proceed, and
said, "I welcome my near relative." Then he went towards a strong
camel which was tied in the house, and carried on to it, two sacks he
had loaded with food grains and put between them money and clothes and
gave her its rope to hold and said, "Lead it, and this provision will
not finish till Allah gives you a good supply." A man said, "O chief
of the believers! You have given her too much." "Umar said
disapprovingly. "May your mother be bereaved of you! By Allah, I have

conquering it, and then we were discussing what their shares they
would have from that war booty."

said that he was amongst those who had given the Pledge of allegiance
to Allah's Apostle beneath the Tree. He (i.e. my father) said, "When

Narrated Yazid bin Abi Ubaid:

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 494:
Narrated Zaid bin Aslam:
My father said, "Allah's Apostle was proceeding at night on one of his
journeys and 'Umar bin Al-Khattab was going along with him. 'Umar bin
Al-Khattab asked him (about something) but Allah's Apostle did not
answer him. 'Umar asked him again, but he did not answer him. He asked
him again (for the third time) but he did not answer him. On that Umar
bin Al-Khattab addressed himself saying, "May your mother be bereaved
of you, O 'Umar, for you have asked Allah's Apostle thrice, yet he has
not answered you." 'Umar said, "Then I made my camel run fast and took
it in front of the other Muslims, and I was afraid that something
might be revealed in my connection. I had hardly waited for a moment
when I heard somebody calling me. I said, 'I was afraid that something
might have been revealed about me.' Then I came to Allah's Apostle and
greeted him. He (i.e. the Prophet) said, 'Tonight there has been
revealed to me, a Sura which is dearer to me than (all the world) on
which the sun rises,' and then he recited: 'Verily! We have granted
you (O Muhammad) A manifest victory." (48.1)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 495:
Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and Marwan bin Al-Hakam:
(one of them said more than his friend): The Prophet set out in the
company of more than one-thousand of his companions in the year of
Al-Hudaibiya, and when he reached Dhul-Hulaifa, he garlanded his Hadi
(i.e. sacrificing animal), assumed the state of Ihram for 'Umra from
that place and sent a spy of his from Khuzi'a (tribe). The Prophet
proceeded on till he reached (a village called) Ghadir-al-Ashtat.
There his spy came and said, "The Quraish (infidels) have collected a
great number of people against you, and they have collected against
you the Ethiopians, and they will fight with you, and will stop you
from entering the Ka'ba and prevent you." The Prophet said, "O people!
Give me your opinion. Do you recommend that I should destroy the
families and offspring of those who want to stop us from the Ka'ba? If
they should come to us (for peace) then Allah will destroy a spy from
the pagans, or otherwise we will leave them in a miserable state." On
that Abu Bakr said, "O Allah Apostle! You have come with the intention
of visiting this House (i.e. Ka'ba) and you do not want to kill or
fight anybody. So proceed to it, and whoever should stop us from it,
we will fight him." On that the Prophet said, "Proceed on, in the Name
of Allah !"
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 496:
Narrated Urwa bin Az-Zubair:
That he heard Marwan bin Al-Hakam and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama relating
one of the events that happened to Allah's Apostle in the 'Umra of
Al-Hudaibiya. They said, "When Allah's Apostle concluded the truce
with Suhail bin 'Amr on the day of Al-Hudaibiya, one of the conditions
which Suhail bin 'Amr stipulated, was his saying (to the Prophet), "If
anyone from us (i.e. infidels) ever comes to you, though he has
embraced your religion, you should return him to us, and should not
interfere between us and him." Suhail refused to conclude the truce
with Allah's Apostle except on this condition. The believers disliked
this condition and got disgusted with it and argued about it. But when
Suhail refused to conclude the truce with Allah's Apostle except on
that condition, Allah's Apostle concluded it. Accordingly, Allah's
Apostle then returned Abu Jandal bin Suhail to his father, Suhail bin
'Amr, and returned every man coming to him from them during that
period even if he was a Muslim. The believing women Emigrants came (to
Medina) and Um Kulthum, the daughter of 'Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait was one
of those who came to Allah's Apostle and she was an adult at that
time. Her relatives came, asking Allah's Apostle to return her to
them, and in this connection, Allah revealed the Verses dealing with
the believing (women). Aisha said, "Allah's Apostle used to test all
the believing women who migrated to him, with the following Verse:--
"O Prophet! When the believing Women come to you, to give the pledge
of allegiance to you." (60.12)
'Urwa's uncle said, "We were informed when Allah ordered His Apostle
to return to the pagans what they had given to their wives who lately
migrated (to Medina) and we were informed that Abu Basir..." relating
the whole narration.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 497:
Narrated Nafi:
Abdullah bin Umar set out for Umra during the period of afflictions,
and he said, "If I should be stopped from visiting the Kaba, I will do
what we did when we were with Allah's Apostle." He assumed Ihram for
'Umra in the year of Al-Hudaibiya.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 498:
Narrated Nafi:
Ibn 'Umar assumed Ihram and said, "If something should intervene
between me and the Ka'ba, then I will do what the Prophet did when the
Quraish infidels intervened between him and (the Ka'ba). Then Ibn
'Umar recited: "You have indeed in Allah's Apostle A good example to
follow." (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.'
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 501:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abi Aufa:
We were in the company of the Prophet when he performed the 'Umra. He
performed the Tawaf and we did the same; he offered the prayer and we
also offered the prayer with him. Then he performed the Sai between
Safa and Marwa and we were guarding him against the people of Mecca so
that nobody should harm him.
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:
Narrated Kab bin Ujra:
The Prophet came to me at the time of Al-Hudaibiya Pledge while lice
were falling on my face. He said, "Are the lice of your head troubling
you?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Shave your head and fast for three
days, or feed six poor persons, or slaughter a sheep as sacrifice."
(The sub-narrator, Aiyub said, "I do not know with which of these
three options he started.")
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 504:
Narrated Ka'b bin Ujra:
We were in the company of Allah's Apostle at Al-Hudaibiya in the state
of Ihram and the pagans did not allow us to proceed (to the Ka'ba). I
had thick hair and lice started falling on my face. The Prophet passed
by me and said, "Are the lice of your head troubling you?" I replied,
Yes." (The sub-narrator added, "Then the following Divine Verse was
revealed:-- "And if anyone of you is ill or has an ailment in his
scalp, (necessitating shaving) must pay a ransom (Fida) of either
fasting or feeding the poor, Or offering a sacrifice." (2.196)
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)

Narrated Abu Raja:
The freed slave of Abu Qilaba, who was with Abu Qilaba in Sham: 'Umar
bin 'Abdul 'Aziz consulted the people saying, "What do you think of
Qasama." They said, "'It is a right (judgment) which Allah's Apostle
and the Caliphs before you acted on." Abu Qilaba was behind 'Umar's
bed. 'Anbasa bin Said said, But what about the narration concerning
the people of Uraina?" Abu Qilaba said, "Anas bin Malik narrated it to
me," and then narrated the whole story.
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 man came to him the third time and said, "The donkeys have been
consumed." On that the Prophet ordered an announcer to announce to the
people, "Allah and His Apostle forbid you to eat the meat of donkeys."
Then the cooking pots were upset while the meat was still boiling in
them.
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 whenever
we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the
morning for those who have been warned." Then the inhabitants of
Khaibar came out running on the roads. The Prophet had their warriors
killed, their offspring and woman taken as captives. Safiya was
amongst the captives, She first came in the share of Dahya Alkali but
later on she belonged to the Prophet . The Prophet made her
manumission as her 'Mahr'.

Anas bin Malik said, "The Prophet took Safiya as a captive. He
manumitted her and married her." Thabit asked Anas, "What did he give
her as Mahr (i.e. marriage gift)?" Anas replied. "Her Mahr was
herself, for he manumitted her."
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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 516:
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari:
When Allah's Apostle fought the battle of Khaibar, or when Allah's
Apostle went towards it, (whenever) the people, (passed over a high
place overlooking a valley, they raised their voices saying,
"Allahu-Akbar! Allahu-Akbar! None has the right to be worshipped
except Allah." On that Allah's Apostle said (to them), "Lower your
voices, for you are not calling a deaf or an absent one, but you are
calling a Hearer Who is near and is with you." I was behind the riding
animal of Allah's Apostle and he heard me saying. "There Is neither
might, nor power but with Allah," On that he said to me, "O Abdullah
bin Qais!" I said, "Labbaik. O Allah's Apostle!" He said, "Shall I
tell you a sentence which is one of the treasures of Paradise" I said,
"Yes, O Allah's Apostle! Let my father and mother be sacrificed for
your sake." He said, "It is: There is neither might nor power but with
Allah."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 517:
Narrated Yazid bin Abi Ubaid:
I saw the trace of a wound in Salama's leg. I said to him, "O Abu
Muslim! What is this wound?" He said, "This was inflicted on me on the
day of Khaibar and the people said, 'Salama has been wounded.' Then I
went to the Prophet and he puffed his saliva in it (i.e. the wound)
thrice., and since then I have not had any pain in it till this
hour."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 518:
Narrated Sahl:
During one of his Ghazawat, the Prophet encountered the pagans, and
the two armies fought, and then each of them returned to their army
camps. Amongst the (army of the) Muslims there was a man who would
follow every pagan separated from the army and strike him with his
sword. It was said, "O Allah's Apostle! None has fought so
satisfactorily as so-and-so (namely, that brave Muslim). "The Prophet
said, "He is from the dwellers of the Hell-Fire." The people said,
"Who amongst us will be of the dwellers of Paradise if this (man) is
from the dwellers of the Hell-Fire?" Then a man from amongst the
people said, "I will follow him and accompany him in his fast and slow
movements." The (brave) man got wounded, and wanting to die at once,
he put the handle of his sword on the ground and its tip in between
his breasts, and then threw himself over it, committing suicide. Then
the man (who had watched the deceased) returned to the Prophet and
said, "I testify that you are Apostle of Allah." The Prophet said,
"What is this?" The man told him the whole story. The Prophet said, "A
man may do what may seem to the people as the deeds of the dwellers of
Paradise, but he is of the dwellers of the Hell-Fire and a man may do
what may seem to the people as the deeds of the dwellers of the
Hell-Fire, but he is from the dwellers of Paradise."

Narrated Salama:
Ali remained behind the Prophet during the Ghazwa of Khaibar as he was
suffering from eye trouble. He then said, "(How can) I remain behind
the Prophet ," and followed him. So when he slept on the night of the
conquest of Khaibar, the Prophet said, "I will give the flag tomorrow,
or tomorrow the flag will be taken by a man who is loved by Allah and
His Apostle , and (Khaibar) will be conquered through him, (with
Allah's help)" While every one of us was hopeful to have the flag, it
was said, "Here is 'Ali" and the Prophet gave him the flag and Khaibar
was conquered through him (with Allah's Help).
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 521:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
On the day of Khaibar, Allah's Apostle said, "Tomorrow I will give
this flag to a man through whose hands Allah will give us victory. He
loves Allah and His Apostle, and he is loved by Allah and His
Apostle." The people remained that night, wondering as to who would be
given it. In the morning the people went to Allah's Apostle and
everyone of them was hopeful to receive it (i.e. the flag). The
Prophet said, "Where is Ali bin Abi Talib?" It was said, "He is
suffering from eye trouble O Allah's Apostle." He said, "Send for
him." 'Ali was brought and Allah's Apostle spat in his eye and invoked
good upon him. So 'Ali was cured as if he never had any trouble. Then
the Prophet gave him the flag. 'Ali said "O Allah's Apostle! I will
fight with them till they become like us." Allah's Apostle said,
"Proceed and do not hurry. When you enter their territory, call them
to embrace Islam and inform them of Allah's Rights which they should
observe, for by Allah, even if a single man is led on the right path
(of Islam) by Allah through you, then that will be better for you than
the nice red camels.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
We arrived at Khaibar, and when Allah helped His Apostle to open the
fort, the beauty of Safiya bint Huyai bin Akhtaq whose husband had
been killed while she was a bride, was mentioned to Allah's Apostle.
The Prophet selected her for himself, and set out with her, and when
we reached a place called Sidd-as-Sahba,' Safiya became clean from her
menses then Allah's Apostle married her. Hais (i.e. an 'Arabian dish)
was prepared on a small leather mat. Then the Prophet said to me, "I
invite the people around you." So that was the marriage banquet of the
Prophet and Safiya. Then we proceeded towards Medina, and I saw the
Prophet, making for her a kind of cushion with his cloak behind him
(on his camel). He then sat beside his camel and put his knee for
Safiya to put her foot on, in order to ride (on the camel).
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 523:

married to Safiya. I invited the Muslim to h s marriage banquet and
there wa neither meat nor bread in that banquet but the Prophet
ordered Bilal to spread the leather mats on which dates, dried yogurt
and butter were put. The Muslims said amongst themselves, "Will she
(i.e. Safiya) be one of the mothers of the believers, (i.e. one of the
wives of the Prophet ) or just (a lady captive) of what his right-hand
possesses" Some of them said, "If the Prophet makes her observe the
veil, then she will be one of the mothers of the believers (i.e. one
of the Prophet's wives), and if he does not make her observe the veil,
then she will be his lady slave." So when he departed, he made a place
for her behind him (on his and made her observe the veil.

cooking pots were boiling and some of the food was well-cooked, the
announcer of the Prophet came to say, "Do not eat anything the
donkey-meat and upset the cooking pots." We then thought that the
Prophet had prohibited such food because the Khumus had not been taken
out of it. Some others said, "He prohibited the meat of donkeys from
the point of view of principle, because donkeys used to eat dirty
things."

to you." The Prophet said, "Banu Hashim and Banu Al-Muttalib only are
one and the same." So the Prophet did not give anything to Banu Abd
Shams and Banu Nawfal.
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.' "
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 540:

Narrated Abu Huraira:
When we conquered Khaibar, we gained neither gold nor silver as booty,
but we gained cows, camels, goods and gardens. Then we departed with
Allah's Apostle to the valley of Al-Qira, and at that time Allah's
Apostle had a slave called Mid'am who had been presented to him by one
of Banu Ad-Dibbab. While the slave was dismounting the saddle of
Allah's Apostle an arrow the thrower of which was unknown, came and
hit him. The people said, "Congratulations to him for the martyrdom."
Allah's Apostle said, "No, by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, the sheet
(of cloth) which he had taken (illegally) on the day of Khaibar from
the booty before the distribution of the booty, has become a flame of
Fire burning him." On hearing that, a man brought one or two leather
straps of shoes to the Prophet and said, "These are things I took
(illegally)." On that Allah's Apostle said, "This is a strap, or these
are two straps of Fire."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 542:
Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:
By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, were I not afraid that the other
Muslims might be left in poverty, I would divide (the land of)
whatever village I may conquer (among the fighters), as the Prophet
divided the land of Khaibar. But I prefer to leave it as a (source of)
a common treasury for them to distribute it revenue amongst
themselves.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 543:
Narrated 'Umar:
But for the other Muslims (i.e. coming generations) I would divide
(the land of) whatever villages the Muslims might conquer (among the
fighters), as the Prophet divided (the land of) Khaibar.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 544:
Narrated 'Anbasa bin Said:
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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 545:
Narrated Said:
Aban bin Said came to the Prophet and greeted him. Abu Huraira said,
"O Allah's Apostle! This (Aban) is the murderer of the Ibn Qauqal."
(On hearing that), Aban said to Abu Huraira, "How strange your saying
is! You, a guinea pig, descending from Qadum Dan, blaming me for
(killing) a person whom Allah favored (with martyrdom) with my hand,
and whom He forbade to degrade me with his hand.'
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).

like this?" He said, "No, by Allah, O Allah's Apostle! But we take one
Sa of these (dates of good quality) for two or three Sa's of other
dates (of inferior quality)." On that, Allah's Apostle said, "Do not
do so, but first sell the inferior quality dates for money and then
with that money, buy Janib." Abu Said and Abu Huraira said, "The
Prophet made the brother of Bani Adi from the Ansar as the ruler of

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 according to the peace
treaty, he entered Mecca, and when he had stayed there for three days,
the infidels ordered him to leave, and he left.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 555:

'Urwa and I entered the Mosque and found 'Abdullah bin 'Umar sitting
beside the dwelling place of 'Aisha. 'Urwa asked (Ibn 'Umar), "How
many 'Umras did the Prophet perform?" Ibn 'Umar replied, "Four, one of
which was in Rajab." Then we heard 'Aisha brushing her teeth whereupon
'Urwa said, "O mother of the believers! Don't you hear what Abu
'Abdur-Rahman is saying? He is saying that the Prophet performed four
'Umra, one of which was in Rajab." 'Aisha said, "The Prophet did not
perform any 'Umra but he (i.e. Ibn 'Umar) witnessed it. And he (the
Prophet ) never did any 'Umra in (the month of) Rajab."

Narrated Ibn Abbas:
When Allah's Apostle and his companions arrived (at Mecca), the pagans
said, "There have come to you a group of people who have been weakened
by the fever of Yathrib (i.e. Medina)." So the Prophet ordered his
companions to do Ramal (i.e. fast walking) in the first three rounds
of Tawaf around the Ka'ba and to walk in between the two corners (i.e.
the black stone and the Yemenite corner). The only cause which
prevented the Prophet from ordering them to do Ramal in all the rounds
of Tawaf, was that he pitied them.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 558:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The Prophet hastened in going around the Ka'ba and between the Safa
and Marwa in order to show the pagans his strength. Ibn 'Abbas added,

companions) to do Ramal in order to show their strength to the pagans

Quaiqan.

of the 'Umra which the Prophet could not perform because the pagans,
prevented him to perform that 'Umra)

wounds in his body, caused by stabs or strokes, and none of those
wounds was in his back.
'Abdullah bin 'Umar said, "Allah's Apostle appointed Zaid bin Haritha
as the commander of the army during the Ghazwa of Mu'tah and said, "If
Zaid is martyred, Ja'far should take over his position, and if Ja'far
is martyred, 'Abdullah bin Rawaha should take over his position.' "
'Abdulla-h bin 'Umar further said, "I was present amongst them in that
battle and we searched for Ja'far bin Abi Talib and found his body
amongst the bodies of the martyred ones, and found over ninety wounds
over his body, caused by stabs or shots (of arrows).
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 561:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet had informed the people of the martyrdom of Zaid, Ja'far
and Ibn Rawaha before the news of their death reached. The Prophet
said, "Zaid took the flag (as the commander of the army) and was
martyred, then Ja'far took it and was martyred, and then Ibn Rawaha
took it and was martyred." At that time the Prophet's eyes were
shedding tears. He added, "Then the flag was taken by a Sword amongst
the Swords of Allah (i.e. Khalid) and Allah made them (i.e. the
Muslims) victorious."

Narrated 'Amra:
I heard 'Aisha saying, "When the news of the martyrdom of Ibn Haritha,
Ja'far bin Abi Talib and 'Abdullah bin Rawaka reached, Allah's Apostle
sat with sorrow explicit on his face." 'Aisha added, "I was then
peeping through a chink in the door. A man came to him and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! The women of Ja'far are crying.' Thereupon the
Prophet told him to forbid them to do so. So the man went away and
returned saying, "I forbade them but they did not listen to me." The
Prophet ordered him again to go (and forbid them). He went again and
came saying, 'By Allah, they overpowered me (i.e. did not listen to
me)." 'Aisha said that Allah's Apostle said (to him), "Go and throw
dust into their mouths." Aisha added, "I said, May Allah put your nose
in the dust! By Allah, neither have you done what you have been
ordered, nor have you relieved Allah's Apostle from trouble."

attacked them and defeated them. I and an Ansari man followed a man
from among them and when we took him over, he said, "La ilaha
illal-Lah." On hearing that, the Ansari man stopped, but I killed him
by stabbing him with my spear. When we returned, the Prophet came to
know about that and he said, "O Usama! Did you kill him after he had
said "La ilaha ilal-Lah?" I said, "But he said so only to save
himself." The Prophet kept on repeating that so often that I wished I
had not embraced Islam before that day.

Narrated 'Ali:
Allah's Apostle sent me, Az-Zubair and Al-Miqdad saying, "Proceed till
you reach Rawdat Khakh where there is a lady carrying a letter, and
take that (letter) from her." So we proceeded on our way with our
horses galloping till we reached the Rawda, and there we found the
lady and said to her, "Take out the letter." She said, "I have no
letter." We said, "Take out the letter, or else we will take off your
clothes." So she took it out of her braid, and we brought the letter
to Allah's Apostle . The letter was addressed from Hatib, bin Abi
Balta'a to some pagans of Mecca, telling them about what Allah's
Apostle intended to do. Allah's Apostle said, "O Hatib! What is this?"
Hatib replied, "O Allah's Apostle! Do not make a hasty decision about
me. I was a person not belonging to Quraish but I was an ally to them
from outside and had no blood relation with them, and all the
Emigrants who were with you, have got their kinsmen (in Mecca) who can
protect their families and properties. So I liked to do them a favor
so that they might protect my relatives as I have no blood relation
with them. I did not do this to renegade from my religion (i.e. Islam)
nor did I do it to choose Heathenism after Islam." Allah's Apostle
said to his companions." As regards him, he (i.e. Hatib) has told you
the truth." 'Umar said, "O Allah's Apostle! Allow me to chop off the
head of this hypocrite!" The Prophet said, "He (i.e. Hatib) has
witnessed the Badr battle (i.e. fought in it) and what could tell you,
perhaps Allah looked at those who witnessed Badr and said, "O the
people of Badr (i.e. Badr Muslim warriors), do what you like, for I
have forgiven you. "Then Allah revealed the Sura:--
"O you who believe! Take not my enemies And your enemies as friends
offering them (Your) love even though they have disbelieved in that
Truth (i.e. Allah, Prophet Muhammad and this 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

were fasting, but when they reached a place called Al-Kadid which was

those who were fasting, to break their fast (i.e. as the Prophet had
done so). Ibn Abbas added, "The Prophet went (to Hunain) in the year

information about Allah's Apostle , They proceeded on their way till
they reached a place called Marr-az-Zahran (which is near Mecca).
Behold! There they saw many fires as if they were the fires of Arafat.
Abu Sufyan said, "What is this? It looked like the fires of Arafat."
Budail bin Warqa' said, "Banu 'Amr are less in number than that." Some
of the guards of Allah's Apostle saw them and took them over, caught
them and brought them to Allah's Apostle. Abu Sufyan embraced Islam.
When the Prophet proceeded, he said to Al-Abbas, "Keep Abu Sufyan
standing at the top of the mountain so that he would look at the
Muslims. So Al-'Abbas kept him standing (at that place) and the tribes
with the Prophet started passing in front of Abu Sufyan in military
batches. A batch passed and Abu Sufyan said, "O 'Abbas Who are these?"
'Abbas said, "They are (Banu) Ghifar." Abu Sufyan said, I have got
nothing to do with Ghifar." Then (a batch of the tribe of) Juhaina
passed by and he said similarly as above. Then (a batch of the tribe
of) Sad bin Huzaim passed by and he said similarly as above. then
(Banu) Sulaim passed by and he said similarly as above. Then came a
batch, the like of which Abu Sufyan had not seen. He said, "Who are
these?" Abbas said, "They are the Ansar headed by 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 Apostle and
his companions and the flag of the Prophet was carried by Az-Zubair
bin Al Awwam. When Allah's Apostle passed by Abu Sufyan, the latter
said, (to the Prophet), "Do you know what Sad bin 'Ubada said?" The
Prophet said, "What did he say?" Abu Sufyan said, "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.
Narrated 'Urwa: Nafi bin Jubair bin Mut'im said, "I heard Al-Abbas
saying to Az-Zubair bin Al-'Awwam, 'O Abu 'Abdullah ! Did Allah's
Apostle order you to fix the flag here?' " Allah's Apostle ordered

property of a believer." Az-Zuhri was asked, "Who inherited Abu

Allah ruin them (i.e. the infidels) for they knew very well that they

allow this young man to enter with us, while we have sons of his own
age? " 'Umar said, "You know what person he is." One day 'Umar called
them and called me along with them, I had thought he called me on that
day to show them something about me (i.e. my knowledge). 'Umar asked
them, "What do you say about (the Sura): "When comes the help of Allah
and the Conquest (of Mecca) And you see mankind entering the Religion
of Allah (i.e. Islam) in crowds. 'So celebrate the Praises Of your
Lord and ask for His forgiveness, Truly, He is the One Who accepts
repentance and forgives." (110.1-3)
Some of them replied, "We are ordered to praise Allah and repent to
Him if we are helped and granted victory." Some said, "We do not
know." Others kept quiet. 'Umar then said to me, "Do you say
similarly?" I said, "No." 'Umar said "What do you say then?" I said,
"This Verse indicates the approaching of the death of Allah's Apostle
of which Allah informed him. When comes the help of Allah and the
Conquest, i.e. the Conquest of Mecca, that will be the sign of your
Prophet's) approaching death, so testify the uniqueness of your Lord
(i.e. Allah) and praise Him and repent to Him as He is ready to
forgive." On that, 'Umar said, "I do not know about it anything other

which Allah's Apostle said on the second day of the Conquest of Mecca.
My two ears heard it and my heart remembered it and my two eyes saw
him when he said it. He (i.e. the Prophet) praised Allah and then
said, 'Mecca has been made a sanctuary by Allah and not by the people,
so it is not lawful for a person, who believes in Allah and the Last
Day to shed blood in it, or to cut its trees and if someone asks the
permission to fight in Mecca because Allah's Apostle was allowed to
fight in it, say to him; Allah permitted His Apostle and did not allow
you, and even he (i.e. the Apostle) was allowed for a short period of
the day, and today its (Mecca's sanctity has become the same as it was
before (of old) so those who are present should inform those who are
absent (this Hadith)." Then Abu Shuraih, was asked, "What did 'Amr say
to you? Abu Shuraih said, "He said, "I knew that better than you, O
Abu Shuraih! The Haram (i.e. Mecca) does not give refuge to a sinner
or a fleeing murderer or a person running away after causing
destruction."

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 595:
Narrated 'Amr bin Salama:
We were at a place which was a thoroughfare for the people, and the
caravans used to pass by us and we would ask them, "What is wrong with
the people? What is wrong with the people? Who is that man?. They
would say, "That man claims that Allah has sent him (as an Apostle),
that he has been divinely inspired, that Allah has revealed to him
such-and-such." I used to memorize that (Divine) Talk, and feel as if
it was inculcated in my chest (i.e. mind) And the 'Arabs (other than
Quraish) delayed their conversion to Islam till the Conquest (of
Mecca). They used to say." "Leave him (i.e. Muhammad) and his people
Quraish: if he overpowers them then he is a true Prophet. So, when
Mecca was conquered, then every tribe rushed to embrace Islam, and my
father hurried to embrace Islam before (the other members of) my
tribe. When my father returned (from the Prophet) to his tribe, he
said, "By Allah, I have come to you from the Prophet for sure!" The
Prophet afterwards said to them, 'Offer such-and-such prayer at
such-and-such time, and when the time for the prayer becomes due, then
one of you should pronounce the Adhan (for the prayer), and let the
one amongst you who knows Qur'an most should, lead the prayer." So
they looked for such a person and found none who knew more Qur'an than
I because of the 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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 596:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Utba bin Abi Waqqas authorized his brother Sad to take the son of the
slave-girl of Zam'a into his custody. 'Utba said (to him). "He is my
son." When Allah's Apostle arrived in Mecca during the Conquest (of
Mecca), Sad bin Abi Waqqas took the son of the slave-girl of Zam'a and
took him to the Prophet 'Abd bin Zam'a too came along with him. Sad
said. "This is the son of my brother and the latter has informed me
that he is his son." 'Abd bin Zam'a said, "O Allah's Apostle! This is
my brother who is the son of the slave-girl of Zam'a and was born on
his (i.e. Zam'as) bed.' Allah's Apostle looked at the son of the
slave-girl of Zam'a and noticed that he, of all the people had the
greatest resemblance to 'Utba bin Abi Waqqas. Allah's Apostle then
said (to 'Abd), " He is yours; he is your brother, O 'Abd bin Zam'a,
he was born on the bed (of your father)." (At the same time) Allah's
Apostle said (to his wife Sauda), "Veil yourself before him (i.e. the
son of the slave-girl) O Sauda," because of the resemblance he noticed
between him and Utba bin Abi Waqqas. Allah's Apostle added, "The boy
is for the bed (i.e. for the owner of the bed where he was born), and
stone is for the adulterer." (Ibn Shihab said, "Abu Huraira used to
say that (i.e. the last statement of the Prophet in the above Hadith
596, publicly.")
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 597:
Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair:
A lady committed theft during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle in the
Ghazwa of Al-Fath, ((i.e. Conquest of Mecca). Her folk went to Usama
bin Zaid to intercede for her (with the Prophet). When Usama
interceded for her with Allah's Apostle, the color of the face of
Allah's Apostle changed and he said, "Do you intercede with me in a
matter involving one of the legal punishments prescribed by Allah?"
Usama said, "O Allah's Apostle! Ask Allah's Forgiveness for me." So in
the afternoon, Allah's Apostle got up and addressed the people. He
praised Allah as He deserved and then said, "Amma ba'du ! The nations
prior to you were destroyed because if a noble amongst them stole,
they used to excuse him, and if a poor person amongst them stole, they
would apply (Allah's) Legal Punishment to him. By Him in Whose Hand
Muhammad's soul is, if Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad stole, I would
cut her hand." Then Allah's Apostle gave his order in the case of that
woman and her hand was cut off. Afterwards her repentance proved
sincere and she got married. 'Aisha said, "That lady used to visit me
and I used to convey her demands to Allah's Apostle
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 598:
Narrated Majashi:
I took my brother to the Prophet after the Conquest (of Mecca) and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have come to you with my brother so that
you may take a pledge of allegiance from him for migration." The
Prophet said, The people of migration (i.e. those who migrated to
Medina before the Conquest) enjoyed the privileges of migration (i.e.
there is no need for migration anymore)." I said to the Prophet, "For
what will you take his pledge of allegiance?" The Prophet said, "I
will take his pledge of allegiance for Islam, Belief, and for Jihad
(i.e. fighting in Allah's Cause)"
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 599:
Narrated Mujashi bin Masud:
I took Abu Mabad to the Prophet in order that he might give him the
pledge of allegiance for migration. The Prophet said, "Migration has
gone to its people, but I take the pledge from him (i.e. Abu Mabad)
for Islam and Jihad."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 600:
Narrated Mujahid:
I said to Ibn 'Umar, "I want to migrate to Sham." He said, "There is
no migration, but Jihad (for Allah's Cause). Go and offer yourself for
Jihad, and if you find an opportunity for Jihad (stay there)
otherwise, come back." (In an other narration) Ibn 'Umar said, "There
is no migration today or after Allah's Apostle." (and completed his
statement as above.)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 601:
Narrated Mujahid bin Jabr:
'Abdullah bin 'Umar used to say, "There is no migration after the
Conquest (of Mecca)."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 602:
Narrated 'Ata' bin Abi Rabah:
'Ubaid bin 'Umar and I visited 'Aisha, and he asked her about the
migration. She said, "There is no migration today. A believer used to
flee with his religion to Allah and His Prophet for fear that he might
be put to trial as regards his religion. Today Allah has rendered
Islam victorious; therefore a believing one can worship one's Lord
wherever one wishes. But there is Jihad (for Allah's Cause) and
intentions." (See Hadith 42, in the 4th Vol. for its Explanation)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 603:
Narrated Mujahid:
Allah's Apostle got up on the day of the Conquest of Mecca and said,
"Allah has made Mecca a sanctuary since the day He created the Heavens
and the Earth, and it will remain a sanctuary by virtue of the
sanctity Allah has bestowed on it till the Day of Resurrection. It
(i.e. fighting in it) was not made lawful to anyone before me!, nor
will it be made lawful to anyone after me, and it was not made lawful
for me except for a short period of time. Its game should not be
chased, nor should its trees be cut, nor its vegetation or grass
uprooted, not its Luqata (i.e. Most things) picked up except by one
who makes a public announcement about it." Al-Abbas bin 'Abdul
Muttalib said, "Except the Idhkhir, O Allah's Apostle, as it is
indispensable for blacksmiths and houses." On that, the Prophet kept
quiet and then said, "Except the Idhkhir as it is lawful to cut."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 604:
Narrated Ismail:
I saw (a healed scar of) blow over the hand of Ibn Abi Aufa who said,
"I received that blow in the battle of Hunain in the company of the
Prophet." I said, "Did you take part in the battle of Hunain?" He
replied, "Yes (and in other battles) before it."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 605:
Narrated Abu Ishaq:
I heard Al-Bara' narrating when a man came and said to him, "O Abu
'Umara! Did you flee on the day (of the battle) of Hunain?" Al-Bara'
replied, "I testify that the Prophet did not flee, but the hasty
people hurried away and the people of Hawazin threw arrows at them. At
that time, Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith was holding the white mule of the
Prophet by the head, and the Prophet was saying, "I am the Prophet
undoubtedly: I am the son of 'Abdul-Muttalib."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 606:
Narrated Abu Ishaq:
Al-Bara' was asked while I was listening, "Did you flee (before the
enemy) along with the Prophet on the day of (the battle of) Hunain?"
He replied, "As for the Prophet, he did not (flee). The enemy were
good archers and the Prophet was saying, "I am the Prophet
undoubtedly; I am the son of 'Abdul Muttalib."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 607:
Narrated Abu Ishaq:
That he heard Al-Bara narrating when a man from Qais (tribe) asked him
"Did you flee leaving Allah's Apostle on the day (of the battle) of
Hunain?" Al-Bara' replied, "But Allah's Apostle did not flee. The
people of Hawazin were good archers, and when we attacked them, they
fled. But rushing towards the booty, we were confronted by the arrows
(of the enemy). I saw the Prophet riding his white mule while Abu
Sufyan was holding its reins, and the Prophet was saying "I am the
Prophet undoubtedly." (Israil and Zuhair said, "The Prophet dismounted
from his Mule.")
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 608:
Narrated Marwan and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama:
When the delegate of Hawazin came to Allah's Apostle declaring their
conversion to Islam and asked him to return their properties and
captives, Allah's Apostle got up and said to them, "There Is involved
in this matter, the people whom you see with me, and the most beloved
talk to me, is the true one. So choose one of two alternatives: Either
the captives or the properties. I have been waiting for you (i.e. have
not distributed the booty)." Allah's Apostle had delayed the
distribution of their booty over ten nights after his return from
Ta'if. So when they came to know that Allah's Apostle was not going to
return to them but one of the two, they said, "We prefer to have our
captives." So Allah's Apostle got up amongst the Muslims, and praising
Allah as He deserved, said, "To proceed! Your brothers have come to
you with repentance and I see (it logical) to return their captives.
So, whoever of you likes to do that as a favor then he can do it. And
whoever of you likes to stick to his share till we give him from the
very first booty which Allah will give us, then he can do so." The
people said, "We do that (i.e. return the captives) willingly as a
favor, 'O Allah's Apostle!" Allah's Apostle said, "We do not know
which of you have agreed to it and which have not; so go back and let
your chiefs forward us your decision." They went back and their
chief's spoke to them, and they (i.e. the chiefs) returned to Allah's
Apostle and informed him that all of them had agreed (to give up their
captives) with pleasure, and had given their permission (i.e. that the
captives be returned to their people). (The sub-narrator said, "That
is what has reached me about the captives of Hawazin tribe.")
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 609:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
When we returned from (the battle of) Hunain, 'Umar asked the Prophet
about a vow which he had made during the Pre-lslamic period of
Ignorance that he would perform Itikaf. The Prophet ordered him to
fulfill his vow.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 610:
Narrated Abu Qatada:
We set out along with the Prophet during the year of (the battle of)
Hunain, and when we faced the enemy, the Muslims (with the exception
of the Prophet and some of his companions) retreated (before the
enemy). I saw one of the pagans over-powering one of the Muslims, so I
struck the pagan from behind his neck causing his armor to be cut off.
The pagan headed towards me and pressed me so forcibly that I felt as
if I was dying. Then death took him over and he released me.
Afterwards I followed 'Umar and said to him, "What is wrong with the
people?" He said, "It is the Order of Allah." Then the Muslims
returned (to the battle after the flight) and (after overcoming the
enemy) the Prophet sat and said, "Whoever had killed an Infidel and
has an evidence to this issue, will have the Salb (i.e. the belonging
of the deceased e.g. clothes, arms, horse, etc)." I (stood up) and
said, "Who will be my witness?" and then sat down. Then the Prophet
repeated his question. Then the Prophet said the same (for the third
time). I got up and said, "Who will be my witness?" and then sat down.
The Prophet asked his former question again. So I got up. The Prophet
said, What is the matter, O Abu Qatada?" So I narrated the whole
story; A man said, "Abu Qatada has spoken the truth, and the Salb of
the deceased is with me, so please compensate Abu Qatada on my
behalf." Abu Bakr said, "No! By Allah, it will never happen that the
Prophet will leave a Lion of Allah who fights for the Sake of Allah
and His Apostle and give his spoils to you." The Prophet said, "Abu
Bakr has spoken the truth. Give it (the spoils) back to him (O man)!"
So he gave it to me and I bought a garden in (the land of) Banu Salama
with it (i.e. the spoils) and that was the first property I got after
embracing Islam.
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 started saying to him, "Won't you be ashamed? Won't
you stop?" So that person stopped, and we exchanged two hits with the
swords and I killed him. Then I said to Abu 'Amir. "Allah has killed
your killer." He said, "Take out this arrow" So I removed it, and
water oozed out of the wound. He then said, "O son of my brother!
Convey my compliments to the Prophet and request him to ask Allah's
Forgiveness for me." Abu Amir made me his successor in commanding the
people (i.e. troops). He survived for a short while and then died.
(Later) I returned and entered upon the Prophet at his house, and
found him lying in a bed made of stalks of date-palm leaves knitted
with ropes, and on it there was bedding. The strings of the bed had
their traces over his back and sides. Then I told the Prophet about
our and Abu Amir's news and how he had said "Tell him to ask for
Allah's Forgiveness for me." The Prophet asked for water, performed
ablution and then raised hands, saying, "O Allah's Forgive 'Ubaid, Abu
Amir." At that time I saw the whiteness of the Prophet's armpits. The
Prophet then said, "O Allah, make him (i.e. Abu Amir) on the Day of
Resurrection, superior to many of Your human creatures." I said, "Will
you ask Allah's Forgiveness for me?" (On that) the Prophet said, "O
Allah, forgive the sins of 'Abdullah bin Qais and admit him to a nice
entrance (i.e. paradise) on the Day of Resurrection." Abu Burda said,
"One of the prayers was for Abu 'Amir and the other was for Abu Musa
(i.e. 'Abdullah bin Qais)."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 613:
Narrated Um Salama:
The Prophet came to me while there was an effeminate man sitting with
me, and I heard him (i.e. the effeminate man) saying to 'Abdullah bin
Abi Umaiya, "O 'Abdullah! See if Allah should make you conquer Ta'if
tomorrow, then take the daughter of Ghailan (in marriage) as (she is
so beautiful and fat that) she shows four folds of flesh when facing
you, and eight when she turns her back." The Prophet then said, "These
(effeminate men) should never enter upon you (O women!)." Ibn Juraij
said, "That effeminate man was called Hit."

When Allah's Apostle besieged Taif and could not conquer its people,
he said, "We will return (to Medina) If Allah wills." That distressed
the Companions (of the Prophet and they said, "Shall we go away
without conquering it (i.e. the Fort of Taif)?" Once the Prophet said,
"Let us return." Then the Prophet said (to them), "Fight tomorrow."
They fought and (many of them) got wounded, whereupon the Prophet
said, "We will return (to Medina) tomorrow if Allah wills." That
delighted them, whereupon the Prophet smiled. The sub-narrator, Sufyan
said once, "(The Prophet) smiled."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 616:
Narrated Abu Uthman:
I heard from Sad, the first man who has thrown an arrow in Allah's
Cause, and from Abu Bakra who jumped over the wall of the Ta'if Fort
along with a few persons and came to the Prophet. They both said, "We
heard the Prophet saying, " If somebody claims to be the son of
somebody other than his father knowingly, he will be denied Paradise
(i.e. he will not enter Paradise).' "
Narrated Ma'mar from 'Asim from Abu Al'Aliya or Abu Uthman An-Nahdi
who said. "I heard Sad and Abu Bakra narrating from the Prophet."
'Asim said, "I said (to him), 'Very trustworthy persons have narrated
to you.' He said, 'Yes, one of them was the first to throw an arrow in
Allah's Cause and the other came to the Prophet in a group of
thirty-three persons from Ta'if.'
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 617:
Narrated Abu Burda:
Abu Musa said, "I was with the Prophet when he was encamping at
Al-Jarana (a place) between Mecca and Medina and Bilal was with him. A
bedouin came to the Prophet and said, "Won't you fulfill what you have
promised me?" The Prophet said, 'Rejoice (at what I will do for you).'
The bedouin said, "(You have said to me) rejoice too often." Then the
Prophet turned to me (i.e. Abu Musa) and Bilal in an angry mood and
said, 'The bedouin has refused the good tidings, so you both accept
them.' Bilal and I said, 'We accept them.' Then the Prophet asked for
a drinking bowl containing water and washed his hands and face in it,
and then took a mouthful of water and threw it therein saying (to us),
"Drink (some of) it and pour (some) over your faces and chests and be
happy at the good tidings." So they both took the drinking bowl and
did as instructed. Um Salama called from behind a screen, "Keep
something (of the water for your mother." So they left some of it for
her.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 618:
Narrated Safwan bin Ya'la bin Umaiya:
Ya'la used to say, "I wish I could see Allah's Apostle at the time
when he is being inspired divinely." Ya'la added "While the Prophet
was at Al-Ja'rana, shaded with a cloth sheet (in the form of a tent)
and there were staying with him, some of his companions under it,
suddenly there came to him a bedouin wearing a cloak and perfumed
extravagantly. He said, "O Allah's Apostle ! What is your opinion
regarding a man who assumes the state of Ihram for 'Umra wearing a
cloak after applying perfume to his body?" 'Umar signalled with his
hand to Ya'la to come (near). Ya'la came and put his head (underneath
that cloth sheet) and saw the Prophet red-faced and when that state
(of the Prophet ) was over, he said, "Where is he who as already asked
me about the 'Umra?" The man was looked for and brought to the Prophet
The Prophet said (to him), "As for the perfume you have applied to
your body, wash it off your body) thrice, and take off your cloak, and
then do in your 'Umra the rites you do in your Hajj."

said, "O the group of Ansari" They replied, "Labbaik, O Allah's
Apostle and Sadaik! We are under your command." Then the Prophet got
down (from his mule) and said, "I am Allah's Slave and His Apostle."
Then the pagans were defeated. The Prophet distributed the war booty
amongst the Tulaqa and Muhajirin (i.e. Emigrants) and did not give
anything to the Ansar. So the Ansar spoke (i.e. were dissatisfied) and
he called them and made them enter a leather tent and said, Won't you
be pleased that the people take the sheep and camels, and you take
Allah's Apostle along with you?" The Prophet added, "If the people
took their way through a valley and the Ansar took their way through a
mountain pass, then I would choose a mountain pass of the Ansar"

Narrated Anas:
The Prophet gathered some people of Ansar and said, "The People of
Quraish are still close to their Pre-lslamic period of ignorance and

take the worldly things) and you take Allah's Apostle with you to your
homes?" They said, "Yes, (i.e. we are pleased with this

this, but he remained patient."

this distribution." I said, "I will inform the Prophet (about your
statement)." The Prophet said, "May Allah bestow Mercy on Moses, for

When it was the day (of the battle) of Hunain, the tributes of Hawazin
and Ghatafan and others, along with their animals and offspring (and
wives) came to fight against the Prophet The Prophet had with him, ten
thousand men and some of the Tulaqa. The companions fled, leaving the
Prophet alone. The Prophet then made two calls which were clearly
distinguished from each other. He turned right and said, "O the group
of Ansar!" They said, "Labbaik, O Allah's Apostle! Rejoice, for we are
with you!" Then he turned left and said, "O the group of Ansar!" They
said, "Labbaik! O Allah's Apostle! Rejoice, for we are with you!" The
Prophet at that time, was riding on a white mule; then he dismounted
and said, "I am Allah's Slave and His Apostle." The infidels then were
defeated, and on that day the Prophet gained a large amount of booty
which he distributed amongst the Muhajirin and the Tulaqa and did not
give anything to the Ansar. The Ansar said, "When there is a
difficulty, we are called, but the booty is given to other than us."
The news reached the Prophet and he gathered them in a leather tent
and said, "What is this news reaching me from you, O the group of
Ansar?" They kept silent, He added," O the group of Ansar! Won't you
be happy that the people take the worldly things and you take Allah's
Apostle to your homes reserving him for yourself?" They said, "Yes."
Then the Prophet said, "If the people took their way through a valley,
and the Ansar took their way through a mountain pass, surely, I would
take the Ansar's mountain pass." Hisham said, "O Abu Hamza (i.e.
Anas)! Did you witness that? " He replied, "And how could I be absent
from him?"

Khalid invited them to Islam but they could not express themselves by
saying, "Aslamna (i.e. we have embraced Islam)," but they started
saying "Saba'na! Saba'na (i.e. we have come out of one religion to
another)." Khalid kept on killing (some of) them and taking (some of)
them as captives and gave every one of us his Captive. When there came
the day then Khalid ordered that each man (i.e. Muslim soldier) should
kill his captive, I said, "By Allah, I will not kill my captive, and
none of my companions will kill his captive." When we reached the
Prophet, we mentioned to him the whole story. On that, the Prophet
raised both his hands and said twice, "O Allah! I am free from what
Khalid has done."

and ordered the soldiers to obey him. He (i.e. the commander) became
angry and said "Didn't the Prophet order you to obey me!" They
replied, "Yes." He said, "Collect fire-wood for me." So they collected
it. He said, "Make a fire." When they made it, he said, "Enter it
(i.e. the fire)." So they intended to do that and started holding each
other and saying, "We run towards (i.e. take refuge with) the Prophet
from the fire." They kept on saying that till the fire was
extinguished and the anger of the commander abated. When that news
reached the Prophet he said, "If they had entered it (i.e. the fire),
they would not have come out of it till the Day of Resurrection.
Obedience (to somebody) is required when he enjoins what is good."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 630:
Narrated Abu Burda:
Allah's Apostle sent Abu Musa and Muadh bin Jabal to Yemen. He sent
each of them to administer a province as Yemen consisted of two
provinces. The Prophet said (to them), "Facilitate things for the
people and do not make things difficult for them (Be kind and lenient
(both of you) with the people, and do not be hard on them) and give
the people good tidings and do not repulse them. So each of them went
to carry on his job. So when any one of them toured his province and
happened to come near (the border of the province of) his companion,
he would visit him and greet him. Once Mu'adh toured that part of his
state which was near (the border of the province of) his companion Abu
Musa. Mu'adh came riding his mule till he reached Abu Musa and saw him
sitting, and the people had gathered around him. Behold! There was a
man tied with his hands behind his neck. Mu'adh said to Abu Musa, "O
'Abdullah bin Qais! What is this?" Abu Musa replied. "This man has
reverted to Heathenism after embracing Islam." Mu'adh said, "I will
not dismount till he is killed." Abu Musa replied, "He has been
brought for this purpose, so come down." Mu'adh said, "I will not
dismount till he is killed." So Abu Musa ordered that he be killed,
and he was killed. Then Mu'adh dismounted and said, "O Abdullah (bin
Qais)! How do you recite the Qur'an ?" Abu Musa said, "I recite the
Qur'an regularly at intervals and piecemeal. How do you recite it O
Mu'adh?" Mu'adh said, "I sleep in the first part of the night and then
get up after having slept for the time devoted for my sleep and then
recite as much as Allah has written for me. So I seek Allah's Reward
for both my sleep as well as my prayer (at night)."

Mu'adh to Yemen and said to both of them "Facilitate things for the
people (Be kind and lenient) and do not make things difficult (for
people), and give them good tidings, and do not repulse them and both
of you should obey each other." Abu Musa said, "O Allah's Prophet! In
our land there is an alcoholic drink (prepared) from barley called
Al-Mizr, and another (prepared) from honey, called Al-Bit"' The
Prophet said, "All intoxicants are prohibited." Then both of them
proceeded and Mu'adh asked Abu Musa, "How do you recite the Quran?"
Abu Musa replied, "I recite it while I am 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 visiting each other. Once Muadh paid a
visit to Abu Musa and saw a chained man. Muadh asked, "What is this?"
Abu Musa said, "(He was) a Jew who embraced Islam and has now turned
apostate." Muadh said, "I will surely chop off his neck!"
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 633:
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari:
Allah's Apostle sent me (as a governor) to the land of my people, and
I came while Allah's Apostle was encamping at a place called Al-Abtah.
The Prophet said, "Have you made the intention to perform the Hajj, O
Abdullah bin Qais?" I replied, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle!" He said,
"What did you say?" I replied, "I said, 'Labbaik' and expressed the
same intention as yours." He said, "Have you driven the Hadi along
with you?" I replied, "No, I did not drive the Hadi." He said, "So
perform the Tawaf of the Ka'ba and then the Sai, between Safa and
Marwa and then finish the state of Ihram." So I did the same, and one
of the women of (the tribe of) Banu-Qais combed my hair. We continued
follow in that tradition till the caliphate of Umar.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 634:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Allah's Apostle said to Muadh bin Jabal when he sent him to Yemen.
"You will come to the people of Scripture, and when you reach them,
invite them to testify that none has the right to be worshipped except
Allah and that Muhammad is His Apostle. And if they obey you in that,
then tell them that Allah has enjoined on them five prayers to be
performed every day and night. And if they obey you in that, then tell
them that Allah has enjoined on them Sadaqa (i.e. 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 curse of an oppressed
person as there is no screen between his invocation and Allah.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 635:
Narrated Amr bin Maimuin:
When Mu'adh arrived at Yemen, he led them (i.e. the people of Yemen)
in the Fajr prayer wherein he recited: 'Allah took Abraham as a
Khalil.' A man amongst the people said, "(How) glad the mother of
Abraham is!" (In another narration) 'Amr said, "The Prophet sent
Mu'adh to Yemen and he (led the people) in the Fajr prayer and
recited: 'Allah took Abraham as a Khalil. A man behind him said,
"(How) glad the mother of Abraham is!"
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 636:
Narrated Al-Bara:
Allah's Apostle sent us to Yemen along with Khalid bin Al-Walid. Later
on he sent Ali bin Abi Talib in his place. The Prophet said to 'Ali,
"Give Khalid's companions the choice of either staying with you (in
Yemen) or returning to Medina." I was one of those who stayed with him
(i.e. Ali) and got several Awaq (of gold from the war booty.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 637:
Narrated Buraida:
The Prophet sent 'Ali to Khalid to bring the Khumus (of the booty) and
I hated Ali, and 'Ali had taken a bath (after a sexual act with a
slave-girl from the Khumus). I said to Khalid, "Don't you see this
(i.e. Ali)?" When we reached the Prophet I mentioned that to him. He
said, "O Buraida! Do you hate Ali?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Do you
hate him, for he deserves more than that from the Khumlus."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 638:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
'Ali bin Abi Talib sent a piece of gold not yet taken out of its ore,
in a tanned leather container to Allah's Apostle . Allah's Apostle
distributed that amongst four Persons: 'Uyaina bin Badr, Aqra bin
Habis, Zaid Al-Khail and the fourth was either Alqama or Amir bin At
Tufail. On that, one of his companions said, "We are more deserving of
this (gold) than these (persons)." When that news reached the Prophet
, he said, "Don't you trust me though I am the truth worthy man of the
One in the Heavens, and I receive the news of Heaven (i.e. Divine
Inspiration) both in the morning and in the evening?" There got up a
man with sunken eyes, raised cheek bones, raised forehead, a thick
beard, a shaven head and a waist sheet that was tucked up and he said,
"O Allah's Apostle! Be afraid of Allah." The Prophet said, "Woe to
you! Am I not of all the people of the earth the most entitled to fear
Allah?" Then that man went away. Khalid bin Al-Wahd said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Shall I chop his neck off?" The Prophet said, "No, for he may
offer prayers." Khalid said, "Numerous are those who offer prayers and
say by their tongues (i.e. mouths) what is not in their hearts."
Allah's Apostle said, "I have not been ordered (by Allah) to search
the hearts of the people or cut open their bellies." Then the Prophet
looked at him (i.e. that man) while the latter was going away and
said, "From the offspring of this (man there will come out (people)
who will recite the Qur'an continuously and elegantly but it will not
exceed their throats. (They will neither understand it nor act upon
it). They would go out of the religion (i.e. Islam) as an arrow goes
through a game's body." I think he also said, "If I should be present
at their time I would kill them as the nations a Thamud were killed."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 639:
Narrated 'Ata:
Jabir said, "The Prophet ordered 'Ali to keep the state of Ihram."
Jabir added, "Ali bin Abi Talib returned (from Yemen) when he was a
governor (of Yemen). The Prophet said to him, 'With what intention
have you assumed the state of Ihram?' 'Ali said, "I have assumed Ihram
with an intention as that of the Prophet." Then the Prophet said (to
him), 'Offer a Hadi and keep the state of Ihram in which you are now.'
'Ali slaughtered a Hadi on his behalf."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 640:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
The Prophet assumed the state of Ihram for Umra and Hajj, and we to
assumed it for Hajj with him. When we arrived at Mecca, the Prophet
said, "Whoever does not possess a Hadi should regard his Ihram for
Umra only." The Prophet had a Hadi with him. 'Ali bin Abi Talib came
to us from Yemen with the intention of performing Hajj. The Prophet
said (to him), "With what intention have you assumed the Ihram, for
your wife is with us?" 'Ali said, "I assumed the lhram with the same
intention as that of the Prophet ." The Prophet said, "Keep on the
state of lhram, as we have got the Hadi."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 641:
Narrated Jarir:
In the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance there was a house called
Dhu-l-Khalasa or Al-Ka'ba Al-Yamaniya or Al-Ka'ba Ash-Shamiya. The
Prophet said to me, "Won't you relieve me from Dhu-l-Khalasa?" So I
set out with one-hundred-and-fifty riders, and we dismantled it and
killed whoever was present there. Then I came to the Prophet and
informed him, and he invoked good upon us and Al-Ahmas (tribe) .
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 642:
Narrated Qais:
Jarir said to me, The Prophet said to me, "Won't you relieve me from
Dhu-l-Khalasa?" And that was a house (in Yemem belonging to the tribe
of) Khatham called Al-Kaba Al Yamaniya. I proceeded with one-hundred
and-fifty cavalry from Ahmas (tribe) who were horse riders. I used not
to sit firm on horses, so the Prophet stroke me over my chest till I
saw the mark of his fingers over my chest, and then he said, 'O Allah!
Make him (i.e. Jarir) firm and one who guides others and is guided on
the right path." So Jarir proceeded to it dismantled and burnt it, and
then sent a messenger to Allah's Apostle. The messenger of Jarir said
(to the Prophet), "By Him Who sent you with the Truth, I did not leave
that place till it was like a scabby camel." The Prophet blessed the
horses of Ahmas and their men five times.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 643:
Narrated Qais:
Jarir said "Allah's Apostle said to me, "Won't you relieve me from
Dhul-Khalasa?" I replied, "Yes, (I will relieve you)." So I proceeded
along with one-hundred and fifty cavalry from Ahmas tribe who were
skillful in riding horses. I used not to sit firm over horses, so I
informed the Prophet of that, and he stroke my chest with his hand
till I saw the marks of his hand over my chest and he said, O Allah!
Make him firm and one who guides others and is guided (on the right
path).' Since then I have never fallen from a horse. Dhul-l--Khulasa
was a house in Yemen belonging to the tribe of Khatham and Bajaila,
and in it there were idols which were worshipped, and it was called
Al-Ka'ba." Jarir went there, burnt it with fire and dismantled it.
When Jarir reached Yemen, there was a man who used to foretell and
give good omens by casting arrows of divination. Someone said to him.
"The messenger of Allah's Apostle is present here and if he should get
hold of you, he would chop off your neck." One day while he was using
them (i.e. arrows of divination), Jarir stopped there and said to him,
"Break them (i.e. the arrows) and testify that None has the right to
be worshipped except Allah, or else I will chop off your neck." So the
man broke those arrows and testified that none has the right to be
worshipped except Allah. Then Jarir sent a man called Abu Artata from
the tribe of Ahmas to the Prophet to convey the good news (of
destroying Dhu-l-Khalasa). So when the messenger reached the Prophet,
he said, "O Allah's Apostle! By Him Who sent you with the Truth, I did
not leave it till it was like a scabby camel." Then the Prophet
blessed the horses of Ahmas and their men five times.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 644:
Narrated Abu Uthman:
Allah's Apostle sent 'Amr bin Al As as the commander of the troops of
Dhat-us-Salasil. 'Amr bin Al-'As said, "(On my return) I came to the
Prophet and said, 'Which people do you love most?' He replied,
'Aisha.' I said, 'From amongst the men?' He replied, 'Her father (Abu
Bakr)'. I said, 'Whom (do you love) next?' He replied, "Umar.' Then he
counted the names of many men, and I became silent for fear that he
might regard me as the last of them."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 645:
Narrated Jarir:
While I was at Yemen, I met two men from Yemen called Dhu Kala and Dhu
Amr, and I started telling them about Allah's Apostle. Dhu Amr said to
me, "If what you are saying about your friend (i.e. the Prophet) is
true, then he has died three days ago." Then both of them accompanied
me to Medina, and when we had covered some distance on the way to
Medina, we saw some riders coming from Medina. We asked them and they
said, "Allah's Apostle has died and Abu Bakr has been appointed as the
Caliph and the people are in a good state.' Then they said, "Tell your
friend (Abu Bakr) that we have come (to visit him), and if Allah will,
we will come again." So they both returned to Yemen. When I told Abu
Bakr their statement, he said to me, "I wish you had brought them (to
me)." Afterwards I met Dhu Amr, and he said to me, "O Jarir! You have
done a favor to me and I am going to tell you something, i.e. you, the
nation of 'Arabs, will remain prosperous as long as you choose and
appoint another chief whenever a former one is dead. But if authority
is obtained by the power of the sword, then the rulers will become
kings who will get angry, as kings get angry, and will be delighted as
kings get delighted."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 646:
Narrated Wahab bin Kaisan:
Jabir bin Abdullah said, "Allah's Apostle sent troops to the sea coast
and appointed Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah as their commander, and they
were 300 (men). We set out, and we had covered some distance on the
way, when our journey food ran short. So Abu 'Ubaida ordered that all
the food present with the troops be collected, and it was collected.
Our journey food was dates, and Abu Ubaida kept on giving us our daily
ration from it little by little (piecemeal) till it decreased to such
an extent that we did not receive except a date each." I asked
(Jabir), "How could one date benefit you?" He said, "We came to know
its value when even that finished." Jabir added, "Then we reached the
sea (coast) where we found a fish like a small mountain. The people
(i.e. troops) ate of it for 18 nights (i.e. days). Then Abu 'Ubaida
ordered that two of its ribs be fixed on the ground (in the form of an
arch) and that a she-camel be ridden and passed under them. So it
passed under them without touching them."
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 (camels)
again but the people felt hungry again." He said, "You should have
slaughtered (camels) again." Qais said, "I did slaughter (camels)
again, but the people again felt hungry." He said, "You should have
slaughtered (camels) again." Qais said, "But I was forbidden (by Abu
'Ubaida this time)."
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.

Narrated Abu Huraira:
That during the Hajj in which the Prophet had made Abu Bakr As Siddiq
as chief of the, Hajj before the Hajj-ul-Wida,' on the day of Nahr,
Abu Bakr sent him along with a group of persons to announce to the
people. "No pagan is permitted to perform Hajj after this year, and
nobody is permitted to perform the Tawaf of the Ka'ba naked."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 650:

The last Sura which was revealed in full was Baraa (i.e.
Sura-at-Tauba), and the last Sura (i.e. part of a Sura) which was
revealed was the last Verses of Sura-an-Nisa':-- "They ask you for a
legal decision. Say: Allah directs (thus) About those who have No
descendants or ascendants As heirs." (4.177)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 651:
Narrated 'Imran bin Hussein:
A delegation from Banu Tamim came to the Prophet . The Prophet said,
"Accept the good tidings, O Banu Tamim!" They said, "O Allah's
Apostle! You have given us good tidings, so give us (something)."
Signs of displeasure appeared on his face. Then another delegation
from Yemen came and he said (to them), "Accept the good tidings, for
Banu Tamim refuses to accept them." They replied, "We have accepted
them, O Allah's Apostle!"
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 652:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I have not ceased to like Banu Tamim ever since I heard of three
qualities attributed to them by Allah's Apostle (He said): They, out
of all my followers, will be the strongest opponent of Ad-Dajjal;
'Aisha had a slave-girl from them, and the Prophet told her to manumit
her as she was from the descendants of (the Prophet) Ishmael; and,
when their Zakat was brought, the Prophet said, "This is the Zakat of
my people."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 653:
Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika:
'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair said that a group of riders belonging to Banu
Tamim came to the Prophet, Abu Bakr said (to the Prophet ), "Appoint
Al-Qa'qa bin Mabad bin Zurara as (their) ruler." 'Umar said (to the
Prophet). "No! But appoint Al-Aqra bin Habis." Thereupon Abu Bakr said
(to 'Umar). "You just wanted to oppose me." 'Umar replied. "I did not
want to oppose you." So both of them argued so much that their voices
became louder, and then the following Divine Verses were revealed in
that connection:-- "O you who believe ! Do not be forward in the
presence of Allah and His Apostle..." (till the end of
Verse)...(49.1)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 654:
Narrated Abu Jamra:
I said to Ibn 'Abbas, "I have an earthenware pot containing Nabidh
(i.e. water and dates or grapes) for me, and I drink of it while it is
sweet. If I drink much of it and stay with the people for a long time,
I get afraid that they may discover it (for I will appear as if I were
drunk). Ibn 'Abbas said, "A delegation of Abdul Qais came to Allah's
Apostle and he said, "Welcome, O people! Neither will you have
disgrace nor will you regret." They said, "O Allah's Apostle! There
are the Mudar pagans between you and us, so we cannot come to you
except in the sacred Months. So please teach us some orders on acting
upon which we will enter Paradise. Besides, we will preach that to our
people who are behind us." The Prophet said, "I order you to do four
things and forbid you from four things (I order you): To believe in
Allah...Do you know what is to believe in Allah? That is to testify
that None has the right to be worshipped except Allah: (I order you
also to offer prayers perfectly to pay Zakat; and to fast the month of
Ramadan and to give the Khumus (i.e. one-fifth of the booty) (for
Allah's Sake). I forbid you from four other things (i.e. the wine that
is prepared in) Ad-Dubba, An-Naquir, Az-Hantam and Al-Muzaffat. (See
Hadith No. 50 Vol. 1)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 655:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The delegation of 'Abdul Qais came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's
Apostle We belong to the tribe of Rabia. The infidels of Mudar tribe
intervened between us and you so that we cannot come to you except in
the Sacred Months, so please order us some things we may act on and
invite those left behind to act on. The Prophet said, "I order you to
observe four things and forbid you from four things: (I order you) to
believe in Allah, i.e. to testify that None has the right to be
worshipped except Allah." The Prophet pointed with finger indicating
one and added, "To offer prayers perfectly: to give Zakat, and to give
one-fifth of the booty you win (for Allah's Sake). I forbid you to use
Ad-Dubba', An-Naquir, Al-Hantam and Al-Muzaffat, (Utensils used for
preparing alcoholic liquors and drinks)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 656:
Narrated Bukair:
That Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn Abbas told him that Ibn Abbas,
'Abdur-Rahman bin Azhar and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama sent him to 'Aisha
saying, "Pay her our greetings and ask her about our offering of the
two-Rak'at after 'Asr Prayer, and tell her that we have been informed
that you offer these two 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 657:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The first Friday (i.e. Jumua) prayer offered after the Friday Prayer

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 658:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet sent some cavalry towards Najd and they brought a man from
the tribe of Banu Hanifa who was called Thumama bin Uthal. They
fastened him to one of the pillars of the Mosque. The Prophet went to
him and said, "What have you got, O Thumama?" He replied," I have got
a good thought, O Muhammad! If you should kill me, you would kill a
person who has already killed somebody, and if you should set me free,
you would do a favor to one who is grateful, and if you want property,
then ask me whatever wealth you want." He was left till the next day
when the Prophet said to him, "What have you got, Thumama? He said,
"What I told you, i.e. if you set me free, you would do a favor to one
who is grateful." The Prophet left him till the day after, when he
said, "What have you got, O Thumama?" He said, "I have got what I told
you. "On that the Prophet said, "Release Thumama." So he (i.e.
Thumama) went to a garden of date-palm trees near to the Mosque, took
a bath and then entered the Mosque and said, "I testify that None has
the right to be worshipped except Allah, and also testify that
Muhammad is His Apostle! By Allah, O Muhammad! There was no face on
the surface of the earth most disliked by me than yours, but now your
face has become the most beloved face to me. By Allah, there was no
religion most disliked by me than yours, but now it is the most
beloved religion to me. By Allah, there was no town most disliked by
me than your town, but now it is the most beloved town to me. Your
cavalry arrested me (at the time) when I was intending to perform the
'Umra. And now what do you think?" The Prophet gave him good tidings
(congratulated him) and ordered him to perform the 'Umra. So when he
came to Mecca, someone said to him, "You have become a Sabian?"
Thumama replied, "No! By Allah, I have embraced Islam with Muhammad,
Apostle of Allah. No, by Allah! Not a single grain of wheat will come
to you from Jamaica unless the Prophet gives his permission."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 659:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Musailima Al-Kadhdhab came during the lifetime of the Prophet and
started saying, "If Muhammad gives me the rule after him, I will
follow him." And he came to Medina with a great number of the people
of his tribe. Allah's Apostle went to him in the company of Thabit bin
Qais bin Shammas, and at that time, Allah's Apostle had a stick of a
date-palm tree in his hand. When he (i.e. the Prophet ) stopped near
Musailima while the latter was amidst his companions, he said to him,
"If you ask me for this piece (of stick), I will not give it to you,
and Allah's Order you cannot avoid, (but you will be destroyed), and
if you turn your back from this religion, then Allah will destroy you.
And I think you are the same person who was shown to me in my dream,
and this is Thabit bin Qais who will answer your questions on my
behalf." Then the Prophet went away from him. I asked about the
statement of Allah's Apostle : "You seem to be the same person who was
shown to me in my dream," and Abu Huraira informed me that Allah's
Apostle said, "When I was sleeping, I saw (in a dream) two bangles of
gold on my hands and that worried me. And then I was inspired Divinely
in the dream that I should blow on them, so I blew on them and both
the bangles flew away. And I interpreted it that two liars (who would
claim to be prophets) would appear after me. One of them has proved to
be Al Ansi and the other, Musailima."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 660:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "While I was sleeping, I was given the treasures
of the earth and two gold bangles were put in my hands, and I did not
like that, but I received the inspiration that I should blow on them,
and I did so, and both of them vanished. I interpreted it as referring
to the two liars between whom I am present; the ruler of Sana and the
Ruler of Yamaha."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 661:
Narrated Abu Raja Al-Utaridi:
We used to worship stones, and when we found a better stone than the
first one, we would throw the first one and take the latter, but if we
could not get a stone then we would collect some earth (i.e. soil) and
then bring a sheep and milk that sheep over it, and perform the Tawaf
around it. When the month of Rajab came, we used (to stop the military
actions), calling this month the iron remover, for we used to remove
and throw away the iron parts of every spear and arrow in the month of
Rajab. Abu Raja' added: When the Prophet sent with (Allah's) Message,
I was a boy working as a shepherd of my family camels. When we heard
the news about the appearance of the Prophet, we ran to the fire, i.e.
to Musailima al-Kadhdhab.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 662:
Narrated Ubaidullah bin Abdullah bin Utba:
We were informed that Musailima Al-Kadhdhab had arrived in Medina and
stayed in the house of the daughter of Al-Harith. The daughter of
Al-Harith bin Kuraiz was his wife and she was the mother of 'Abdullah
bin 'Amir. There came to him Allah's Apostle accompanied by Thabit bin
Qais bin Shammas who was called the orator of Allah's Apostle. Allah's
Apostle had a stick in his hand then. The Prophet stopped before
Musailima and spoke to him. Musailima said to him, "If you wish, we
would not interfere between you and the rule, on condition that the
rule will be ours after you... The Prophet said, "If you asked me for
this stick, I would not give it to you. I think you are the same
person who was shown to me in a dream. And this is Thabit bin Al-Qais
who will answer you on my behalf." The Prophet then went away. I asked
Ibn Abbas about the dream Allah's Apostle had mentioned. Ibn Abbas
said, "Someone told me that the Prophet said, "When I was sleeping, I
saw in a dream that two gold bangles were put in my hands, and that
frightened me and made me dislike them. Then I was allowed to blow on
them, and when I blew at them, both of them flew. Then I interpreted
them as two liars who would appear.' One of them was Al-'Ansi who was
killed by Fairuz in Yemen and the other was Musailima Al-Kadhdbab."

Al-'Aqib and Saiyid, the rulers of Najran, came to Allah's Apostle
with the intention of doing Lian one of them said to the other, "Do
not do (this Lian) for, by Allah, if he is a Prophet and we do this
Lian, neither we, nor our offspring after us will be successful." Then
both of them said (to the Prophet ), "We will give what you should ask
but you should send a trustworthy man with us, and do not send any
person with us but an honest one." The Prophet said, "I will send an
honest man who Is really trustworthy." Then every one of the
companions of Allah's Apostle wished to be that one. Then the Prophet
said, "Get up, O Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah." When he got up, Allah's
Apostle said, "This is the Trustworthy man of this (Muslim) nation."

I will give you so much and so much," repeating "so much" thrice. But
the revenue of Al-Bahrain did not come till Allah's Apostle had died.
When the revenue came during the rule of Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr ordered an
announcer to announce, "Whoever had any debt or promise due upon the
Prophet, should present himself to me (i.e. Abu Bakr). I came to Abu
Bakr and informed him that the Prophet had said (to me), "If the
revenue of Al-Bahrain should come, I will give you so-much and so
much," repeating "so much" thrice. So Abu Bakr gave me (in another
narration Jaibir said,). I met Abu Bakr after that and asked him (to
give me what the Prophet had promised me) but he did not give me. I
again went to him but he did not give me. I again went to him (for the
third time) but he did not give me; On that I said to him, "I came to
you but you did not give me, then I came to you and you did not give
me, and then again I came to you, but you did not give me; so you
should either give me or else you are like a miserly to me, on that,
Abu Bakr said, "Do you say, 'You are like a miserly to me?' There is
no worse disease than miserliness." Abu Bakr said it thrice and added,
"Whenever I refused to give you, I had the intention of giving you."
(In another narration) Jabir bin 'Abdullah said, "I went to Abu Bakr
(and he gave me a handful of money) and told me to count it, I counted
and found it five-hundred, and then Abu Bakr said (to me), "Take the
same amount twice."

the people. Abu Musa invited the man to the lunch, but the latter
said, "I saw chickens (eating something (dirty) so I consider them
unclean." Abu Musa said, "Come on! I saw the Prophet eating it (i.e.
chicken)." The man said "I have taken an oath that I will not ea
(chicken)" Abu Musa said." Come on! I will tell you about your oath.
We, a group of Al-Ash'ariyin people went to the Prophet and asked him
to give us something to ride, but the Prophet refused. Then we asked
him for the second time to give us something to ride, but the Prophet
took an oath that he would not give us anything to ride. After a
while, some camels of booty were brought to the Prophet and he ordered
that five camels be given to us. When we took those camels we said,
"We have made the Prophet forget his oath, and we will not be
successful after that." So I went to the Prophet and said, "O Allah'
Apostle ! You took an oath that you would not give us anything to
ride, but you have given us." He said, "Yes, for if I take an oath and
later I see a better solution than that, I act on the later (and gave
the expiation of that oaths"

the features of Allah's Apostle changed (i.e. he took it ill). Then

good tidings as Banu Tamim have not accepted them." They said, "We
accept them, O Allah's Apostle!"

for you ." Khabbab replied, "Yes. "Ibn Mas'ud said, "Recite, O
'Alqama!" On that, Zaid bin Hudair, the brother of Ziyad bin Hudair
said, (to Ibn Mas'ud), "Why have you ordered 'Alqama to recite though
he does not recite better than we?" Ibn Mas'ud said, "If you like, I
would tell you what the Prophet said about your nation and his (i.e.
'Alqama's) nation." So I recited fifty Verses from Sura-Maryam.
'Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) said to Khabbab, "What do you think (about
'Alqama's recitation)?" Khabbab said, "He has recited well." 'Abdullah
said, "Whatever I recite, 'Alqama recites." Then 'Abdullah turned
towards Khabbab and saw that he was wearing a gold ring, whereupon he
said, "Hasn't the time for its throwing away come yet?" Khabbab said,
"You will not see me wearing it after today," and he throw it away.

He said, "Yes, you embraced Islam when they (i.e. your people)
disbelieved; you have come (to the Truth) when they ran away; you
fulfilled your promises when they broke theirs; and you recognized it
(i.e. the Truth of Islam) when they denied it." On that, 'Adi said, "I
therefore don't care."

the Ihram for 'Umra. Then Allah's Apostle said to us, "Whoever has got
the Hadi should assume the Ihram for Hajj and 'Umra and should not
finish his Ihram till he has performed both ('Umra and Hajj)." I
arrived at Mecca along with him (i.e. the Prophet ) while I was
menstruating, so I did not perform the Tawaf around the Ka'ba or
between Safa and Marwa. I informed Allah's Apostle about that and he
said, "Undo your braids and comb your hair, and then assume the lhram
for Hajj and leave the 'Umra." I did so, and when we performed and
finished the Hajj, Allah's Apostles sent me to At-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 return from Mina, they performed another Tawaf (around the
Ka'ba and between Safa and Marwa), but those who combined their Hajj
and 'Umra, performed only one Tawaf (between Safa and Marwa) (for
both).

to this saying?" 'Ata' said, "(The proof is taken) from the Statement
of Allah:-- "And afterwards they are brought For sacrifice unto
Ancient House (Ka'ba at Mecca)" (22.33) and from the order of the
Prophet to his companions to finish their Ihram during
Hajjat-ul-Wada." I said (to 'Ata'), "That (i.e. finishing the Ihram)
was after coming form 'Arafat." 'Ata' said, "Ibn 'Abbas used to allow
it before going to 'Arafat (after finishing the 'Umra) and after
coming from it (i.e. after performing the Hajj)."

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari:
I came to the Prophet at a place called Al-Batha'. The Prophet said,
"Did you assume the Ihram for Hajj?" I said, "Yes," He said, "How did
you express your intention (for performing Hajj)? " I said, "Labbaik
(i.e. I am ready) to assume the Ihram with the same intention as that
of Allah's Apostle." The Prophet said, "Perform the Tawaf around the
Ka'ba and between Safa and Marwa, and then finish your Ihram." So I
performed the Tawaf around the Ka'ba and between Safa and Marwa and
then I came to a woman from the tribe of Qais who removed the lice
from my head.

riding animal. Will it be sufficient if I perform the Hajj on his
behalf?" He said, "Yes."

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.

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."

Narrated Abu Bakra:
The Prophet said, "Time has taken its original shape which it had when
Allah created the Heavens and the Earth. The year is of twelve months,
four of which are sacred, and out of these (four) three are in
succession, i.e. Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul-Hijja and Al-Muharram, and the
fourth is Rajab which is named after the Mudar tribe, between (the
month of) Jumaida (ath-thania) and Sha'ban." Then the Prophet asked,
"Which is this month?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know better."
On that the Prophet kept quiet so long that we thought that he might
name it with another name. Then the Prophet said, "Isn't it the month
of Dhul-Hijja?" We replied, "Yes." Then he said, "Which town is this?"
"We replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." On that he kept
quiet so long that we thought that he might name it with another name.
Then he said, "Isn't it the town of Mecca?" We replied, "Yes, " Then
he said, "Which day is today?" We replied, "Allah and His Apostle know
better." He kept quiet so long that we thought that he might name it
with another name. Then he said, "Isn't it the day of An-Nahr (i.e.
sacrifice)?" We replied, "Yes." He said, "So your blood, your
properties, (The sub-narrator Muhammad said, 'I think the Prophet also
said: And your honor..) are sacred to one another like the sanctity of
this day of yours, in this city of yours, in this month of yours; and
surely, you will meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds.
Beware! Do not become infidels after me, cutting the throats of one
another. It is incumbent on those who are present to convey this
message (of mine) to those who are absent. May be that some of those
to whom it will be conveyed will understand it better than those who
have actually heard it." (The sub-narrator, Muhammad, on remembering
that narration, used to say, "Muhammad spoke the truth!") He (i.e.
Prophet) then added twice, "No doubt! Haven't I conveyed (Allah's
Message) to you?"
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 689:
Narrated Tariq bin Shibab:
Some Jews said, "Had this Verse been revealed to us, we would have

from a disease which brought me to the verge of death. I said, "O
Allah's Apostle! My ailment has reached such a (bad) state as you see,
and I have much wealth, but I have no-one to inherit from me except my
only daughter. Shall I give 2/3 of my property as alms (in charity)?"
The Prophet said, "No," I said, "Shall I give half of my property as
alms?" He said, "No." I said, "(Shall I give) 1/3 of it? " He replied,
" 1/3, and even 1/3 is too much. It is better for you to leave your
inheritors wealthy rather than to leave them poor, begging people (for
their sustenance); and whatever you spend for Allah's Sake, you will
get reward for it even for the morsel of food which you put in your
wives mouth." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Should I remain (in Mecca)
behind my companions (who are going with you to Medina)?" The Prophet
said, "If you remain behind, any good deed which you will do for
Allah's Sake, will upgrade and elevate you. May be you will live
longer so that some people may benefit by you and some other (i.e.
infidels) may get harmed by you." The Prophet then added, "O Allah!
Complete the Migration of my companions and do not turn them on their
heels. But the poor 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.

Allah's Apostle set out for Tabuk. appointing 'Ali as his deputy (in

me like Aaron to Moses? But there will be no prophet after me."

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 Fajr prayer on the
50th morning on the roof of one of our houses and while I was sitting
in the condition which Allah described (in the 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 truth more than me. Since I have mentioned
that truth to Allah's Apostle till today, I have never intended to
tell a lie. I hope that Allah will also save me (from telling lies)
the rest of my life. So Allah revealed to His Apostle the Verse:--
"Verily, Allah has forgiven the Prophet, the Muhajirin (i.e. Emigrants
(up to His Saying) And be with those who are true (in word and deed)."
(9.117-119)
By Allah, Allah has never bestowed upon me, apart from His guiding me
to Islam, a Greater blessing than the fact that I did not tell a lie
to Allah's Apostle which would have caused me to perish as those who
have told a lie perished, for Allah described those who told lies with
the worst description He ever attributed to anybody else. Allah
said:-- "They (i.e. the hypocrites) will swear by Allah to you when
you return to them (up to His Saying) Certainly Allah is not pleased
with the rebellious people--" (9.95-96) 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.

till he crossed the valley.

a lady will never be successful."

'Umar then asked Ibn 'Abbas about the meaning of this Holy Verse:--
"When comes the help of Allah and the conquest of Mecca . . ." (110.1)
Ibn 'Abbas replied, "That indicated the death of Allah's Apostle which
Allah informed him of." 'Umar said, "I do not understand of it except
what you understand."
Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet in his ailment in which he died, used to
say, "O 'Aisha! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at

Narrated 'Aisha:
Whenever Allah's Apostle became ill, he used to recite Al-Muawidhatan
(i.e. the last two Suras of the Qur'an) and then blow his breath and

reciting Al-Muawidhatan and blowing my breath over him as he used to
do, and then I rubbed the hand of the Prophet over his body.

Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Thursday! And how great that Thursday was! The ailment of Allah's
Apostle became worse (on Thursday) and he said, fetch me something so
that I may write to you something after which you will never go
astray." The people (present there) differed in this matter, and it
was not right to differ before a prophet. Some said, "What is wrong
with him ? (Do you think ) he is delirious (seriously ill)? Ask him (
to understand his state )." So they went to the Prophet and asked him
again. The Prophet said, "Leave me, for my present state is better
than what you call me for." Then he ordered them to do three things.
He said, "Turn the pagans out of the 'Arabian Peninsula; respect and
give gifts to the foreign delegations as you have seen me dealing with
them." (Said bin Jubair, the sub-narrator said that Ibn Abbas kept
quiet as rewards the third order, or he said, "I forgot it.") (See
Hadith No. 116 Vol. 1)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 717:
Narrated Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah:
Ibn Abbas said, "When Allah's Apostle was on his deathbed and there
were some men in the house, he said, 'Come near, I will write for you
something after which you will not go astray.' Some of them ( i.e. his
companions) said, 'Allah's Apostle is seriously ill and you have the
(Holy) 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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 718:
Narrated 'Aisha:
The Prophet called Fatima during his fatal illness and told her
something secretly and she wept. Then he called her again and told her
something secretly, and she started laughing. When we asked her about
that, she said, "The Prophet first told me secretly that he would
expire in that disease in which he died, so I wept; then he told me
secretly that I would be the first of his family to follow him, so I
laughed ( at that time)."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 719:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Used to hear (from the Prophet) that no Prophet dies till he is given
the option to select either the worldly life or the life of the
Hereafter. I heard the Prophet in his fatal disease, with his voice
becoming hoarse, saying, "In the company of those on whom is the grace
of Allah ..( to the end of the Verse )." (4.69) Thereupon I thought
that the Prophet had been given the option.

a prophet die unless he is shown his place in Paradise ( before his

became ill and his last moments came while his head was on my thigh,
he became unconscious, and when he came to his senses, he looked
towards the roof of the house and then said, "O Allah! (Please let me
be) with the highest companion." Thereupon I said, "Hence he is not
going to stay with us? " Then I came to know that his state was the
confirmation of the narration he used to mention to us while he was in
good health.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 722:
Narrated Aisha:
'Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr entered upon the Prophet while I was
supporting the Prophet on my chest. 'AbdurRahman had a fresh Siwak
then and he was cleaning his teeth with it. Allah's Apostle looked at
it, so I took the Siwak, cut it (chewed it with my teeth), shook it
and made it soft (with water), and then gave it to the Prophet who
cleaned his teeth with it. I had never seen Allah's Apostle cleaning
his teeth in a better way. After finishing the brushing of his teeth,
he lifted his hand or his finger and said thrice, "O Allah! Let me be
with the highest companions," and then died. 'Aisha used to say, "He
died while his head was resting between my chest and chin."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 723:

him as he used to blow and made the hand of the Prophet pass over his
body.

Narrated Urwa bin Az-Zubair:
'Aisha said, "The Prophet said during his fatal illness, "Allah cursed
the Jews for they took the graves of their prophets as places for
worship." 'Aisha added, "Had it not been for that (statement of the
Prophet ) his grave would have been made conspicuous. But he was
afraid that it might be taken as a place for worship."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 726:
Narrated 'Aisha:
The Prophet died while he was between my chest and chin, so I never
dislike the death agony for anyone after the Prophet.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 727:
Narrated Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) "When the ailment of Allah's Apostle became
aggravated, he requested his wives to permit him to be (treated)
nursed in my house, and they gave him permission. He came out (to my
house), walking between two men with his feet dragging on the ground,
between 'Abbas bin 'Abdul--Muttalib and another man" 'Ubaidullah said,
"I told 'Abdullah of what 'Aisha had said, 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas said
to me, 'Do you know who is the other man whom 'Aisha did not name?' I
said, 'No.' Ibn 'Abbas said, 'It was 'Ali bin Abu Talib." 'Aisha, the
wife of the Prophet used to narrate saying, "When Allah's Apostle
entered my house and his disease became aggravated, he said, " Pour on
me the water of seven water skins, the mouths of which have not been
untied, so that I may give advice to the people.' So we let him sit in
a big basin belonging to Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet and then
started to pour water on him from these water skins till he started
pointing to us with his hands intending to say, 'You have done your
job." 'Aisha added, "Then he went out to the people and led them in
prayer and preached to them." 'Aisha and 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas said,
"When Allah's Apostle became ill seriously, he started covering his
face with his woolen sheet, and when he felt short of breath, he
removed it from hi; face and said, 'That is so! Allah's (curse be on
the Jews and the Christians, as they took the graves of their prophets
as (places of worship),' intending to warn (the Muslims ) of what they
had done." 'Aisha added, "I argued with Allah's Apostle repeatedly
about that matter (i.e. his order that Abu Bakr should lead the people
in prayer in his place when he was ill), and what made me argue so
much, was, that it never occurred to my mind that after the Prophet,
the people would ever love a man who had taken his place, and I felt
that anybody standing in his place, would be a bad omen to the people,
so I wanted Allah's Apostle to give up the idea of choosing Abu Bakr
(to lead the people in prayer)."
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."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 729:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
While the Muslims were offering the Fajr prayer on Monday and Abu Bakr
was leading them in prayer, suddenly Allah's Apostle lifted the
curtain of 'Aisha's dwelling and looked at them while they were in the
rows of the prayers and smiled. Abu Bakr retreated to join the row,
thinking that Allah's Apostle wanted to come out for the prayer. The
Muslims were about to be put to trial in their prayer (i.e. were about
to give up praying) because of being overjoyed at seeing Allah's
Apostle. But Allah's Apostle beckoned them with his hand to complete
their prayer and then entered the dwelling and let fall the curtain.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 730:
Narrated Aisha:
It was one of the favors of Allah towards me that Allah's Apostle
expired in my house on the day of my turn while he was leaning against
my chest and Allah made my saliva mix with his saliva at his death.
'Abdur-Rahman entered upon me with a Siwak in his hand and I was
supporting (the back of) Allah's Apostle (against my chest ). I saw
the Prophet looking at it (i.e. Siwak) and I knew that he loved the
Siwak, so I said ( to him ), "Shall I take it for you ? " He nodded in
agreement. So I took it and it was too stiff for him to use, so I
said, "Shall I soften it for you ?" He nodded his approval. So I
softened it and he cleaned his teeth with it. In front of him there
was a jug or a tin, (The sub-narrator, 'Umar is in doubt as to which
was right) containing water. He started dipping his hand in the water
and rubbing his face with it, he said, "None has the right to be
worshipped except Allah. Death has its agonies." He then lifted his
hands (towards the sky) and started saying, "With the highest
companion," till he expired and his hand dropped down.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 731:
Narrated Urwa:
'Aisha said, "Allah's Apostle in his fatal illness, used to ask,
'Where will I be tomorrow? Where will I be tomorrow?", seeking
'Aisha's turn. His wives allowed him to stay wherever he wished. So he
stayed at 'Aisha's house till he expired while he was with her."
'Aisha added, "The Prophet expired on the day of my turn in my house
and he was taken unto Allah while his head was against my chest and
his saliva mixed with my saliva." 'Aisha added, "Abdur-Rahman bin Abu
Bakr came in, carrying a Siwak he was cleaning his teeth with. Allah's
Apostle looked at it and I said to him, 'O 'AbdurRahman! Give me this
Siwak.' So he gave it to me and I cut it, chewed it (it's end) and
gave it to Allah's Apostle who cleaned his teeth with it while he was
resting against my chest."
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.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 733:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Abu Bakr came from his house at As-Sunh on a horse. He dismounted and
entered the Mosque, but did not speak to the people till he entered
upon 'Aisha and went straight to Allah's Apostle who was covered with
Hibra cloth (i.e. a kind of Yemenite cloth). He then uncovered the
Prophet's face and bowed over him and kissed him and wept, saying,
"Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you. By Allah, Allah will
never cause you to die twice. As for the death which was written for
you, has come upon you."
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: Abu Bakr went out while Umar bin Al-Khattab was
talking to the people. Abu Bakr said, "Sit down, O 'Umar!" But 'Umar
refused to sit down. So the people came to Abu Bakr and left Umar. Abu
Bakr said, "To proceed, if anyone amongst you used to worship Muhammad
, then Muhammad is dead, but if (anyone of) you used to worship Allah,
then Allah is Alive and shall never die. Allah said:--"Muhammad is no
more than an Apostle, and indeed (many) apostles have passed away
before him..(till the end of the Verse )......Allah will reward to
those who are thankful." (3.144) By Allah, it was as if the people
never knew that Allah had revealed this Verse before till Abu Bakr
recited it and all the people received it from him, and I heard
everybody reciting it (then).
Narrated Az-Zuhri: Said bin Al-Musaiyab told me that 'Umar said, "By
Allah, when I heard Abu Bakr reciting it, my legs could not support me
and I fell down at the very moment of hearing him reciting it,
declaring that the Prophet had died."

dislikes medicines." When he improved and felt a little better, he
said, "Didn't I forbid you to pour medicine in my mouth ?" We said, "
( We thought it was because of) the dislike, patients have for
medicines. He said, "Let everyone present in the house be given
medicine by pouring it in his mouth while I am looking at him, except
'Abbas as he has not witnessed you (doing the same to me)."

feel it. So how (do the people say) he appointed 'Ali as his
successor?"

Narrated Anas:
When the ailment of the Prophet got aggravated, he became unconscious
whereupon Fatima said, "Oh, how distressed my father is!" He said,
"Your father will have no more distress after today." When he expired,
she said, "O Father! Who has responded to the call of the Lord Who has
invited him! O Father, whose dwelling place is the Garden of Paradise
(i.e. Al-Firdaus)! O Father! We convey this news (of your death) to
Gabriel." When he was buried, Fatima said, "O Anas! Do you feel
pleased to throw earth over Allah's Apostle?"
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 740:
Narrated 'Aisha:
When the Prophet was healthy, he used to say, "No soul of a prophet is
captured till he is shown his place in Paradise and then he is given
the option." When death approached him while his head was on my
thigh, he became unconscious and then recovered his consciousness. He
then looked at the ceiling of the house and said, "O Allah! (with) the
highest companions." I said (to myself), "Hence, he is not going to
choose us." Then I realized that what he had said was the application
of the narration which he used to mention to us when he was healthy.
The last word he spoke was, "O Allah! (with) the highest companion."

leadership you used to criticize the leadership of his father before.
By Allah, he (i.e. Zaid) deserved the leadership indeed, and he used
