created him, He said (to him), "Go and greet that group
of angels sitting there, and listen what they will say
in reply to you, for that will be your greeting and the

they increased 'Wa Rahmatullah' The Prophet added 'So

that he was a boy of ten at the

served Allah's Apostle for ten years (the last part of
his life time) and I know more than the people about the
occasion whereupon the order of Al-Hijab was revealed
(to the Prophet). Ubai b n Ka'b used to ask me about it.
It was revealed (for the first time) during the marriage
of Allah's Apostle with Zainab bint Jahsh. In the
morning, the Prophet was a bride-groom of her and he
Invited the people, who took their meals and went away,
but a group of them remained with Allah's Apostle and
they prolonged their stay. Allah's Apostle got up and
went out, and I too, went out along with him till he
came to the lintel of 'Aisha's dwelling place. Allah's
Apostle thought that those people had left by then, so
he returned, and I too, returned with him till he
entered upon Zainab and found that they were still
sitting there and had not yet gone. The Prophet went out
again, and so did I with him till he reached the lintel
of 'Aisha's dwelling place, and then he thought that
those people must have left by then, so he returned, and
so did I with him, and found those people had gone. At
that time the Divine Verse of Al-Hijab was revealed, and
the Prophet set a screen between me and him (his
family).

he got up, and some of the people also got up and went

Prophet returned to enter, he found the people still
sitting, but then they got up and left. So I told the
Prophet of their departure and he came and went in. I
intended to go in but the Prophet put a screen between

anyone of you asks the permission to enter thrice, and
the permission is not given, then he should return.' "
'Umar said, "By Allah! We will ask Abu Musa to bring
witnesses for it." (Abu Musa went to a gathering of the
Ansar and said). "Did anyone of you hear this from the
Prophet ?" Ubai bin Ka'b said, "By Allah, none will go

Narrated 'Urwa-bin Az-Zubair:
Usama bin Zaid said, "The
Prophet rode over a donkey with a saddle underneath
which there was a thick soft Fadakiya velvet sheet.
Usama bin Zaid was his companion rider, and he was going
to pay a visit to Sa'd bin Ubada (who was sick) at the
dwelling place of Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj, and
this incident happened before the battle of Badr. The
Prophet passed by a gathering in which there were
Muslims and pagan idolators and Jews, and among them
there was 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul, and there was
'Abdullah bin Rawaha too. When a cloud of dust raised by
the animal covered that gathering, 'Abdullah bin Ubai
covered his nose with his Rida (sheet) and said (to the
Prophet), "Don't cover us with dust." The Prophet
greeted them and then stopped, dismounted and invited
them to Allah (i.e., to embrace Islam) and also recited
to them the Holy Quran. 'Abdullah bin Ubai' bin Salul
said, "O man! There is nothing better than what you say,
if what you say is the truth. So do not trouble us in
our gatherings. Go back to your mount (or house,) and if
anyone of us comes to you, tell (your tales) to him." On
that 'Abdullah bin Rawaha said, "(O Allah's Apostle!)
Come to us and bring it(what you want to say) in our
gatherings, for we love that." So the Muslims, the
pagans and the Jews started quarreling till they were
about to fight and clash with one another. The Prophet
kept on quietening them (till they all became quiet). He
then rode his animal, and proceeded till he entered upon
Sa'd bin 'Ubada, he said, "O Sa'd, didn't you hear what
Abu Habbab said? (He meant 'Abdullah bin Ubai). He said
so-and-so." Sa'd bin 'Ubada said, "O Allah's Apostle!
Excuse and forgive him, for by Allah, Allah has given
you what He has given you. The people of this town
decided to crown him (as their chief) and make him their
king. But when Allah prevented that with the Truth which
He had given you, it choked him, and that was what made
him behave in the way you saw him behaving." So the
Prophet excused him.

Allah's Apostle sent me,
Az-Zubair bin Al-Awwam and Abu Marthad Al-Ghanawi, and
all of us were horsemen, and he said, "Proceed till you
reach Rawdat Khakh, where there is a woman from the
pagans carrying a letter sent by Hatib bin Abi Balta'a
to the pagans (of Mecca)." So we overtook her while she
was proceeding on her camel at the same place as Allah's
Apostle told us. We said (to her) "Where is the letter
which is with you?" She said, "I have no letter with
me." So we made her camel kneel down and searched her
mount (baggage etc) but could not find anything. My two
companions said, "We do not see any letter." I said, "I
know that Allah's Apostle did not tell a lie. By Allah,
if you (the lady) do not bring out the letter, I will
strip you of your clothes' When she noticed that I was
serious, she put her hand into the knot of her waist
sheet, for she was tying a sheet round herself, and
brought out the letter. So we proceeded to Allah's
Apostle with the letter. The Prophet said (to Habib),
"What made you o what you have done, O Hatib?" Hatib
replied, "I have done nothing except that I believe in
Allah and His Apostle, and I have not changed or altered
(my religion). But I wanted to do the favor to the
people (pagans of Mecca) through which Allah might
protect my family and my property, as there is none
among your companions but has someone in Mecca through
whom Allah protects his property (against harm). The
Prophet said, "Habib has told you the truth, so do not
say to him (anything) but good." 'Umar bin Al-Khattab
said, "Verily he has betrayed Allah, His Apostle, and
the believers! Allow me to chop his neck off!" The
Prophet said, "O 'Umar! What do you know; perhaps Allah
looked upon the Badr warriors and said, 'Do whatever you
like, for I have ordained that you will be in
Paradise.'" On that 'Umar wept and said, "Allah and His
Apostle know best."

By Allah, I think that Allah's Apostle will die from his
present ailment, for I know the signs of death on the

to Allah's Apostle to ask him who will take over the
Caliphate. If the authority is given to us, we will know
it, and if it is given to somebody else we will request

day or three days, except that single Dinar which I will
keep for repaying debts. I will spend all of it (the

this and like this." The Prophet pointed out with his
hand to illustrate it and then said, "O Abu Dhar!" I

be the least rewarded (in the Hereafter) except those
