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.

Narrated Kab bin Malik:
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

meet the caravans of (Quraish, but Allah caused them (i.e.
Muslims) to meet their enemy unexpectedly (with no previous
intention) .

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.

took hold of him by the hand and said, "This is sufficient for
you." The Prophet came out saying, "Their multitude will be put
to flight and they will show their backs." (54.45)

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.")

"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.

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.")

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 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."

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."

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."

I had taken part in the Badr battle instead of taking part in

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.

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.

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

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."

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

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

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."

Volume 5, Book
59, Number 371:
Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib:
Allah's Apostle sent some men from the
Ansar to ((kill) Abu Rafi, the Jew, and appointed 'Abdullah bin
Atik as their leader. Abu Rafi used to hurt Allah's Apostle and
help his enemies against him. He lived in his castle in the land
of Hijaz. When those men approached (the castle) after the sun
had set and the people had brought back their livestock to their
homes. Abdullah (bin Atik) said to his companions, "Sit down at
your places. I am going, and I will try to play a trick on the
gate-keeper so that I may enter (the castle)." So 'Abdullah
proceeded towards the castle, and when he approached the gate,
he covered himself with his clothes, pretending to answer the
call of nature. The people had gone in, and the gate-keeper
(considered 'Abdullah as one of the castle's servants)
addressing him saying, "O Allah's Servant! Enter if you wish,
for I want to close the gate." 'Abdullah added in his story, "So
I went in (the castle) and hid myself. When the people got
inside, the gate-keeper closed the gate and hung the keys on a
fixed wooden peg. I got up and took the keys and opened the
gate. Some people were staying late at night with Abu Rafi for a
pleasant night chat in a room of his. When his companions of
nightly entertainment went away, I ascended to him, and whenever
I opened a door, I closed it from inside. I said to myself,
'Should these people discover my presence, they will not be able
to catch me till I have killed him.' So I reached him and found
him sleeping in a dark house amidst his family, I could not
recognize his location in the house. So I shouted, 'O Abu Rafi!'
Abu Rafi said, 'Who is it?' I proceeded towards the source of
the voice and hit him with the sword, and because of my
perplexity, I could not kill him. He cried loudly, and I came
out of the house and waited for a while, and then went to him
again and said, 'What is this voice, O Abu Rafi?' He said, 'Woe
to your mother! A man in my house has hit me with a sword! I
again hit him severely but I did not kill him. Then I drove the
point of the sword into his belly (and pressed it through) till
it touched his back, and I realized that I have killed him. I
then opened the doors one by one till I reached the staircase,
and thinking that I had reached the ground, I stepped out and
fell down and got my leg broken in a moonlit night. I tied my
leg with a turban and proceeded on till I sat at the gate, and
said, 'I will not go out tonight till I know that I have killed
him.' So, when (early in the morning) the cock crowed, the
announcer of the casualty stood on the wall saying, 'I announce
the death of Abu Rafi, the merchant of Hijaz. Thereupon I went
to my companions and said, 'Let us save ourselves, for Allah has
killed Abu Rafi,' So I (along with my companions proceeded and)
went to the Prophet and described the whole story to him. "He
said, 'Stretch out your (broken) leg. I stretched it out and he
rubbed it and it became All right as if I had never had any
ailment whatsoever."
Volume 5, Book
59, Number 372:
Narrated Al-Bara:
Allah's Apostle sent 'Abdullah bin
'Atik and 'Abdullah bin 'Utba with a group of men to Abu Rafi
(to kill him). They proceeded till they approached his castle,
whereupon 'Abdullah bin Atik said to them, "Wait (here), and in
the meantime I will go and see." 'Abdullah said later on, "I
played a trick in order to enter the castle. By chance, they
lost a donkey of theirs and came out carrying a flaming light to
search for it. I was afraid that they would recognize me, so I
covered my head and legs and pretended to answer the call to
nature. The gatekeeper called, 'Whoever wants to come in, should
come in before I close the gate.' So I went in and hid myself in
a stall of a donkey near the gate of the castle. They took their
supper with Abu Rafi and had a chat till late at night. Then
they went back to their homes. When the voices vanished and I no
longer detected any movement, I came out. I had seen where the
gate-keeper had kept the key of the castle in a hole in the
wall. I took it and unlocked the gate of the castle, saying to
myself, 'If these people should notice me, I will run away
easily.' Then I locked all the doors of their houses from
outside while they were inside, and ascended to Abu Rafi by a
staircase. I saw the house in complete darkness with its light
off, and I could not know where the man was. So I called, 'O Abu
Rafi!' He replied, 'Who is it?' I proceeded towards the voice
and hit him. He cried loudly but my blow was futile. Then I came
to him, pretending to help him, saying with a different tone of
my voice, ' What is wrong with you, O Abu Rafi?' He said, 'Are
you not surprised? Woe on your mother! A man has come to me and
hit me with a sword!' So again I aimed at him and hit him, but
the blow proved futile again, and on that Abu Rafi cried loudly
and his wife got up. I came again and changed my voice as if I
were a helper, and found Abu Rafi lying straight on his back, so
I drove the sword into his belly and bent on it till I heard the
sound of a bone break. Then I came out, filled with astonishment
and went to the staircase to descend, but I fell down from it
and got my leg dislocated. I bandaged it and went to my
companions limping. I said (to them), 'Go and tell Allah's
Apostle of this good news, but I will not leave (this place)
till I hear the news of his (i.e. Abu Rafi's) death.' When dawn
broke, an announcer of death got over the wall and announced, 'I
convey to you the news of Abu Rafi's death.' I got up and
proceeded without feeling any pain till I caught up with my
companions before they reached the Prophet to whom I conveyed
the good news."
Volume 5, Book

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 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:

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)

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."

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."

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.

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)."

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.

On the day of Al-Ahzab (i.e. clans),
Allah's Apostle said, 'Who will bring us the news of the people
(i.e. the clans of Quraish infidels)?" Az-Zubair said, "I." The
Prophet again said, "Who will bring us the news of the people?"
AzZubair said, "I." The Prophet again said, "Who will bring us
the news of the people?" Az-Zubair said, "I." The Prophet then
said, "Every prophet has his Hawari (i.e. disciple-special
helper); my disciple is Az-Zubair.

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle used to say, "None has
the right to be worshipped except Allah Alone (Who) honored His
Warriors and made His Slave victorious, and He (Alone) defeated
the (infidel) clans; so there is nothing after Him.

Allah's Apostle invoked evil upon the
clans saying, "Allah, the Revealer of the Holy Book (i.e. the

Narrated 'Abdullah:
Whenever Allah's Apostle returned from
a Ghazwa, Hajj or 'Umra, he used to start (saying),
"Allahu-Akbar," thrice and then he would say, "None has the
right to be worshipped except Allah alone Who has no partners.
To Him belongs the Kingdom, all praises are for Him, and He is
able to do all things (i.e. Omnipotent). We are returning with
repentance (to Allah) worshipping, prostrating, and praising our
Lord. Allah has fulfilled His Promise, made His Slave
victorious, and He (Alone) defeated the clans (of infidels) ."

Al-Khandaq (i.e. Trench) and laid down his arms and took a bath,
Gabriel came and said (to the Prophet ), You have laid down your
arms? By Allah, we angels have not laid them down yet. So set
out for them." The Prophet said, "Where to go?" Gabriel said,
"Towards this side," pointing towards Banu Quraiza. So the
Prophet went out towards them.

Narrated Anas:
As if I am just now looking at the dust
rising in the street of Banu Ghanm (in Medina) because of the

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."

(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.

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)

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."

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)

Al-Harith have informed me that Aisha told them that 'Ali
remained silent about her case."

Um Ruman, the mother of 'Aisha said

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."

infidels. On that the Prophet said, 'How will you exclude my

Thabit was with her reciting poetry to her from some of his

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)

"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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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 !"

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.

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

persons, or slaughter a sheep as sacrifice." (The sub-narrator,

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)

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

Dhi-Qarad. A slave of 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf met me (on the way)

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

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 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."

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

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."

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).

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.

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).

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

on the day of Khaibar. While the cooking pots were boiling and

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."

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.' "

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."

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.

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.

Aban bin Said came to the Prophet and
greeted him. Abu Huraira said, "O Allah's Apostle! This (Aban)

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).

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

he was one of the most beloved persons to me and now this (i.e.
Usama) is one of the most beloved persons to me after him.

When the Prophet went out for the 'Umra
in the month of Dhal-Qa'da, the people of Mecca did not allow
him to enter Mecca till he agreed to conclude a peace treaty
with them by virtue of which he would stay in Mecca for three
days only (in the following year). When the agreement was being
written, the Muslims wrote: "This is the peace treaty, which
Muhammad, Apostle of Allah has concluded."
The infidels said (to the Prophet), "We
do not agree with you on this, for if we knew that you are
Apostle of Allah we would not have prevented you for anything
(i.e. entering Mecca, etc.), but you are Muhammad, the son of
'Abdullah." Then he said to 'Ali, "Erase (the name of) 'Apostle
of Allah'." 'Ali said, "No, by Allah, I will never erase you
(i.e. your name)." Then Allah's Apostle took the writing
sheet...and he did not know a better writing..and he wrote or
got it the following written! "This is the peace treaty which
Muhammad, the son of 'Abdullah, has concluded: "Muhammad should
not bring arms into Mecca except sheathed swords, and should not
take with him any person of the people of Mecca even if such a
person wanted to follow him, and if any of his companions wants
to stay in Mecca, he should not forbid him."
(In the next year) when the Prophet
entered Mecca and the allowed period of stay elapsed, the
infidels came to Ali and said "Tell your companion (Muhammad) to
go out, as the allowed period of his stay has finished." So the
Prophet departed (from Mecca) and the daughter of Hamza followed
him shouting "O Uncle, O Uncle!" Ali took her by the hand and
said to Fatima, "Take the daughter of your uncle." So she made
her ride (on her horse). (When they reached Medina) 'Ali, Zaid
and Ja'far quarreled about her. 'Ali said, "I took her for she
is the daughter of my uncle." Ja'far said, "She is the daughter
of my uncle and her aunt is my wife." Zaid said, "She is the
daughter of my brother." On that, the Prophet gave her to her
aunt and said, "The aunt is of the same status as the mother."
He then said to 'Ali, "You are from me, and I am from you," and
said to Ja'far, "You resemble me in appearance and character,"
and said to Zaid, "You are our brother and our freed slave."
'Ali said to the Prophet 'Won't you marry the daughter of
Hamza?" The Prophet said, "She is the daughter of my foster
brother."
Volume 5, Book
59, Number 554:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle set out with the
intention of performing 'Umra, but the infidels of Quraish
intervened between him and the Ka'ba, so the Prophet slaughtered
his Hadi (i.e. sacrificing animals and shaved his head at
Al-Hudaibiya and concluded a peace treaty with them (i.e. the
infidels) on condition that he would perform the 'Umra the next
year and that he would not carry arms against them except
swords, and would not stay (in Mecca) more than what they would
allow. So the Prophet performed the 'Umra in the following year
and 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.

'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

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, "When the Prophet arrived

prevented him to perform that 'Umra)

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

(of arrows).
Volume 5, Book
59, Number 561:

the martyrdom of Zaid, Ja'far and Ibn Rawaha before the news of

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,

(i.e. Khalid) and Allah made them (i.e. the Muslims)
victorious."

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."

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.

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."

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

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."

"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."

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

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.

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.")

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

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)"

or after Allah's Apostle." (and completed his statement as
above.)

'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."

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."

Prophet did not flee, but the hasty people hurried away and the
people of Hawazin threw arrows at them. At that time, Abu Sufyan

Al-Bara' was asked while I was
listening, "Did you flee (before the enemy) along with the

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.")

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.")

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)."

'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."

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."

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.'

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.

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."

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

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

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?"

The Prophet sent Khalid bin Al-Walid to
the tribe of Jadhima and Khalid invited them to Islam but they
could not express themselves by saying, "Aslamna (i.e. we have
embraced Islam)," but they started saying "Saba'na! Saba'na
(i.e. we have come out of one religion to another)." Khalid kept
on killing (some of) them and taking (some of) them as captives
and gave every one of us his Captive. When there came the day
then Khalid ordered that each man (i.e. Muslim soldier) should
kill his captive, I said, "By Allah, I will not kill my captive,
and none of my companions will kill his captive." When we
reached the Prophet, we mentioned to him the whole story. On
that, the Prophet raised both his hands and said twice, "O
Allah! I am free from what Khalid has done."
Volume 5, Book
59, Number 629:
Narrated 'Ali:
The Prophet sent a Sariya under the
command of a man from the Ansar and ordered the soldiers to obey
him. He (i.e. the commander) became angry and said "Didn't the
Prophet order you to obey me!" They replied, "Yes." He said,
"Collect fire-wood for me." So they collected it. He said, "Make
a fire." When they made it, he said, "Enter it (i.e. the fire)."
So they intended to do that and started holding each other and
saying, "We run towards (i.e. take refuge with) the Prophet from
the fire." They kept on saying that till the fire was
extinguished and the anger of the commander abated. When that
news reached the Prophet he said, "If they had entered it (i.e.
the fire), they would not have come out of it till the Day of
Resurrection. Obedience (to somebody) is required when he
enjoins what is good."
Volume 5, Book
59, Number 630:

(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)."

Prophet had sent him to Yemen and he asked the Prophet about
certain (alcoholic) drink which used to be prepared there The
Prophet said, "What are they?" Abu Musa said, "Al-Bit' and
Al-Mizr?" He said, "Al-Bit is an alcoholic drink made from
honey; and Al-Mizr is an alcoholic drink made from barley." The
Prophet said, "All intoxicants are prohibited."

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!"

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

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.

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.

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."

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."

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."

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

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.

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."

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."

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.

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

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

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

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

Volume 5, Book

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."

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.

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."

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."

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."

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"

Allah's Apostle changed (i.e. he took it ill). Then some people

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.

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

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

the Ka'ba and between Safa and Marwa, and then finish your

(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

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)

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?"

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.

Narrated Sad:
Allah's Apostle set out for Tabuk.
appointing 'Ali as his deputy (in Medina). 'Ali said, "Do you
want to leave me with the children and women?" The Prophet said,
"Will you not be pleased that you will be to me like Aaron to
Moses? But there will be no prophet after me."
Volume 5, Book
59, Number 701:
Narrated Safwan bin Yala bin Umaiya:
that his father said, "I participated
in Al-Usra (i.e. Tabuk) along with the Prophet." Yala added,
"(My participation in) that Ghazwa was the best of my deeds to
me." Ya'la said, "I had a laborer who quarrelled with somebody,
and one of the two bit the hand of the other ('Ata', the
sub-narrator, said, "Safwan told me who bit whom but I forgot
it"), and the one who was bitten, pulled his hand out of the
mouth of the biter, so one of the incisors of the biter was
broken. So we came to the Prophet and he considered the biter's
claim as invalid (i.e. the biter did not get a recompense for
his broken incisor). The Prophet said, "Should he leave his hand
in your mouth so that you might snap it as if it were in the
mouth of a male camel to snap it?"
Volume 5, Book
59, Number 702:
Narrated Abdullah bin Kab bin Malik:
Who, from among Kab's sons, was the
guide of Kab when he became blind: I heard Kab bin Malik
narrating the story of (the Ghazwa of) Tabuk in which he failed
to take part. Kab said, "I did not remain behind Allah's Apostle
in any Ghazwa that he fought except the Ghazwa of Tabuk, and I
failed to take part in the Ghazwa of Badr, but Allah did not
admonish anyone who had not participated in it, for in fact,
Allah's Apostle had gone out in search of the caravan of Quraish
till Allah made them (i.e. the Muslims) and their enemy meet
without any appointment. I witnessed the night of Al-'Aqaba
(pledge) with Allah's Apostle when we pledged for Islam, and I
would not exchange it for the Badr battle although the Badr
battle is more popular amongst the people than it (i.e.
Al-'Aqaba pledge). As for my news (in this battle of Tabuk), I
had never been stronger or wealthier than I was when I remained
behind the Prophet in that Ghazwa.
By Allah, never had I two she-camels
before, but I had then at the time of this Ghazwa. Whenever
Allah's Apostle wanted to make a Ghazwa, he used to hide his
intention by apparently referring to different Ghazwa till it
was the time of that Ghazwa (of Tabuk) which Allah's Apostle
fought in severe heat, facing, a long journey, desert, and the
great number of enemy. So the Prophet announced to the Muslims
clearly (their destination) so that they might get prepared for
their Ghazwa. So he informed them clearly of the destination he
was going to. Allah's Apostle was accompanied by a large number
of Muslims who could not be listed in a book namely, a
register." Ka'b added, "Any man who intended to be absent would
think that the matter would remain hidden unless Allah revealed
it through Divine Revelation. So Allah's Apostle fought that
Ghazwa at the time when the fruits had ripened and the shade
looked pleasant. Allah's Apostle and his companions prepared for
the battle and I started to go out in order to get myself ready
along with them, but I returned without doing anything. I would
say to myself, 'I can do that.' So I kept on delaying it every
now and then till the people got ready and Allah's Apostle and
the Muslims along with him departed, and I had not prepared
anything for my departure, and I said, I will prepare myself
(for departure) one or two days after him, and then join them.'
In the morning following their departure, I went out to get
myself ready but returned having done nothing. Then again in the
next morning, I went out to get ready but returned without doing
anything.
Such was the case with me till they
hurried away and the battle was missed (by me). Even then I
intended to depart to take them over. I wish I had done so! But
it was not in my luck. So, after the departure of Allah's
Apostle, whenever I went out and walked amongst the people (i.e,
the remaining persons), it grieved me that I could see none
around me, but one accused of hypocrisy or one of those weak men
whom Allah had excused. Allah's Apostle did not remember me till
he reached Tabuk. So while he was sitting amongst the people in
Tabuk, he said, 'What did Ka'b do?' A man from Banu Salama said,
'O Allah's Apostle! He has been stopped by his two Burdas (i.e.
garments) and his looking at his own flanks with pride.' Then
Mu'adh bin Jabal said, 'What a bad thing you have said! By
Allah! O Allahs Apostle! We know nothing about him but good.'
Allah's Apostle kept silent." Ka'b bin Malik added, "When I
heard that he (i.e. the Prophet ) was on his way back to Medina.
I got dipped in my concern, and began to think of false excuses,
saying to myself, 'How can I avoid his anger tomorrow?' And I
took the advice of wise member of my family in this matter. When
it was said that Allah's Apostle, had come near all the evil
false excuses abandoned from my mind and I knew well that I
could never come out of this problem by forging a false
statement. Then I decided firmly to speak the truth. So Allah's
Apostle arrived in the morning, and whenever he returned from a
journey., he used to visit the Mosque first of all and offer a
two-Rak'at prayer therein and then sit for the people. So when
he had done all that (this time), those who had failed to join
the battle (of Tabuk) came and started offering (false) excuses
and taking oaths before him. They were something over eighty
men; Allah's Apostle accepted the excuses they had expressed,
took their pledge of allegiance asked for Allah's Forgiveness
for them, and left the secrets of their hearts for Allah to
judge. Then I came to him, and when I greeted him, he smiled a
smile of an angry person and then said, 'Come on.' So I came
walking till I sat before him. He said to me, 'What stopped you
from joining us. Had you not purchased an animal For carrying
you?' I answered, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle! But by Allah, if I
were sitting before any person from among the people of the
world other than you, I would have avoided his anger with an
excuse.
By Allah, I have been bestowed with the
power of speaking fluently and eloquently, but by Allah, I knew
well that if today I tell you a lie to seek your favor, Allah
would surely make you angry with me in the near future, but if I
tell you the truth, though you will get angry because of it, I
hope for Allah's Forgiveness. Really, by Allah, there was no
excuse for me. By Allah, I had never been stronger or wealthier
than I was when I remained behind you.' Then Allah's Apostle
said, 'As regards this man, he has surely told the truth. So get
up till Allah decides your case.' I got up, and many men of Banu
Salama followed me and said to me. 'By Allah, we never witnessed
you doing any sin before this. Surely, you failed to offer
excuse to Allah's Apostle as the others who did not join him,
have offered. The prayer of Allah's Apostle to Allah to forgive
you would have been sufficient for you.' By Allah, they
continued blaming me so much that I intended to return (to the
Prophet) and accuse myself of having told a lie, but I said to
them, 'Is there anybody else who has met the same fate as I
have?' They replied, 'Yes, there are two men who have said the
same thing as you have, and to both of them was given the same
order as given to you.' I said, 'Who are they?' They replied,
Murara bin Ar-Rabi Al-Amri and Hilal bin Umaiya Al-Waqifi.' By
that they mentioned to me two pious men who had attended the
Ghazwa (Battle) of Badr, and in whom there was an example for
me. So I did not change my mind when they mentioned them to me.
Allah's Apostle forbade all the Muslims to talk to us, the three
aforesaid persons out of all those who had remained behind in
that Ghazwa. So we kept away from the people and they changed
their attitude towards us till the very land (where I lived)
appeared strange to me as if I did not know it.
We remained in that condition for fifty
nights. As regards my two fellows, they remained in their houses
and kept on weeping, but I was the youngest of them and the
firmest of them, so I used to go out and witness the prayers
along with the Muslims and roam about in the markets, but none
would talk to me, and I would come to Allah's Apostle and greet
him while he was sitting In his gathering after the prayer, and
I would wonder whether the Prophet did move his lips in return
to my greetings or not. Then I would offer my prayer near to him
and look at him stealthily. When I was busy with my prayer, he
would turn his face towards me, but when I turned my face to
him, he would turn his face away from me. When this harsh
attitude of the people lasted long, I walked till I scaled the
wall of the garden of Abu Qatada who was my cousin and dearest
person to me, and I offered my greetings to him. By Allah, he
did not return my greetings. I said, 'O Abu Qatada! I beseech
you by Allah! Do you know that I love Allah and His Apostle?' He
kept quiet. I asked him again, beseeching him by Allah, but he
remained silent. Then I asked him again in the Name of Allah. He
said, "Allah and His Apostle know it better.' Thereupon my eyes
flowed with tears and I returned and jumped over the wall." Ka'b
added, "While I was walking in the market of Medina, suddenly I
saw a Nabati (i.e. a Christian farmer) from the Nabatis of Sham
who came to sell his grains in Medina, saying, 'Who will lead me
to Kab bin Malik?' The people began to point (me) out for him
till he came to me and handed me a letter from the king of
Ghassan in which the following was written:
"To proceed, I have been informed that
your friend (i.e. the Prophet ) has treated you harshly. Anyhow,
Allah does not let you live at a place where you feel inferior
and your right is lost. So join us, and we will console you."
When I read it, I said to myself, 'This
is also a sort of a test.' Then I took the letter to the oven
and made a fire therein by burning it. When forty out of the
fifty nights elapsed, behold ! There came to me the messenger of
Allah's Apostle and said, 'Allah's Apostle orders you to keep
away from your wife,' I said, 'Should I divorce her; or else!
what should I do?' He said, 'No, only keep aloof from her and do
not cohabit her.' The Prophet sent the same message to my two
fellows. Then I said to my wife. 'Go to your parents and remain
with them till Allah gives His Verdict in this matter." Kab
added, "The wife of Hilal bin Umaiya came to Apostle and said,
'O Allah's Apostle! Hilal bin Umaiya is a helpless old man who
has no servant to attend on him. Do you dislike that I should
serve him? ' He said, 'No (you can serve him) but he should not
come near you.' She said, 'By Allah, he has no desire for
anything. By, Allah, he has never ceased weeping till his case
began till this day of his.'
On that, some of my family members said
to me, 'Will you also ask Allah's Apostle to permit your wife
(to serve you) as he has permitted the wife of Hilal bin Umaiya
to serve him?' I said, 'By Allah, I will not ask the permission
of Allah's Apostle regarding her, for I do not know What Allah's
Apostle would say if I asked him to permit her (to serve me)
while I am a young man.' Then I remained in that state for ten
more nights after that till the period of fifty nights was
completed starting from the time when Allah's Apostle prohibited
the people from talking to us. When I had offered the 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.

ruled by a lady will never be successful."

Ibn 'Abbas replied, "That indicated the
death of Allah's Apostle which Allah informed him of." 'Umar

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)

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."

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)."

Prophet had been given the option.

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.

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 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

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

very moment of hearing him reciting it, declaring that the
Prophet had died."

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

fell on one side and expired, and I did not feel it. So how (do
the people say) he appointed 'Ali as his successor?"

invited him! O Father, whose dwelling place is the Garden of

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."
