I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "No
prophet gets sick but he is given the choice to select either this world
or the Hereafter." 'Aisha added: During his fatal illness, his voice
became very husky and I heard him saying: "In the company of those whom
is the Grace of Allah,of the prophets, the Siddiqin (those followers of
the prophets who were first and foremost to believe in them), the martyrs and the pious.' (4.69) And from this I came to know that he has been given theoption.

Narrated Hisham's father
When Allah's Apostle set out
(towards Mecca) during the year of the Conquest (of Mecca) and this news
reached (the infidels of Quraish), Abu Sufyan, Hakim bin Hizam and
Budail bin Warqa came out to gather information about Allah's Apostle ,
They proceeded on their way till they reached a place called
Marr-az-Zahran (which is near Mecca). Behold! There they saw many fires
as if they were the fires of Arafat.Abu Sufyan said, "What is this? It
looked like the fires of Arafat." Budail bin Warqa' said, "Banu 'Amr are
less in number than that." Someof the guards of Allah's Apostle saw
them and took them over, caught them and brought them to Allah's
Apostle. Abu Sufyan embraced Islam.
When the Prophet proceeded, he
said to Al-Abbas, "Keep Abu Sufyan standing at the top of the mountain
so that he would look at the Muslims. So Al-'Abbas kept him standing (at
that place) and the tribeswith the Prophet started passing in front of
Abu Sufyan in military batches. A batch passed and Abu Sufyan said, "O
'Abbas Who are these?"'Abbas said, "They are (Banu) Ghifar." Abu Sufyan
said, I have got nothing to do with Ghifar." Then (a batch of the tribe
of) Juhaina passed by and he said similarly as above. Then (a batch of
the tribe of) Sad bin Huzaim passed by and he said similarly as above.
then (Banu) Sulaim passed by and he said similarly as above. Then came a
batch, the like of which Abu Sufyan had not seen. He said, "Who are
these?" Abbas said, "They are the Ansar headed by Sad bin Ubada, the one
holding the flag." Sad bin Ubada said, "O Abu Sufyan! Today is theday
of a great battle and today (what is prohibited in) the Ka'ba willbe
permissible." Abu Sufyan said., "O 'Abbas! How excellent the day
ofdestruction is! "Then came another batch (of warriors) which was the
smallest of all the batches, and in it there was Allah's Apostle and his
companions and the flag of the Prophet was carried by Az-Zubair bin Al
Awwam. When Allah's Apostle passed by Abu Sufyan, the latter said, (to
the Prophet), "Do you know what Sad bin 'Ubada said?" The Prophet said,
"What did he say?" Abu Sufyan said, "He said so-and-so."The Prophet
said, "Sad told a lie, but today Allah will give superiority to the
Ka'ba and today the Ka'ba will be covered with a (cloth) covering."
Allah's Apostle ordered that his flag be fixed at Al-Hajun.
Narrated
'Urwa: Nafi bin Jubair bin Mut'im said, "I heard Al-Abbas saying to
Az-Zubair bin Al-'Awwam, 'O Abu 'Abdullah ! Did Allah's Apostle order
you to fix the flag here?' " Allah's Apostle ordered Khalid bin Al-Walid
to enter Mecca from its upper part from Ka'da while the Prophet himself
entered from Kuda. Two men from the cavalry of Khalid bin Al-Wahd named
Hubaish bin Al-Ash'ar and Kurz bin Jabir Al-Fihri were martyred on that day. |

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

The Prophet had informed the people of the martyrdom

The Prophet said, "Zaid took the flag (as the commander of the army) and
was martyred, then Ja'far took it and was martyred, and then Ibn Rawaha took it and was martyred."
At that time the Prophet's eyes were shedding tears. He added, "Then
the flag was taken by a Sword amongst the Swords of Allah (i.e. Khalid)
and Allah made them (i.e. the Muslims) victorious." |

strokes, and none of those wounds was in his back.
'Abdullah bin

of the army during the Ghazwa of Mu'tah and said, "IfZaid is martyred, Ja'far should take over his position, and if Ja'far is martyred,
'Abdullah bin Rawaha should take over his position.' " 'Abdulla-h bin
'Umar further said, "I was present amongst them in thatbattle and we
searched for Ja'far bin Abi Talib and found his body amongst the bodies
of the martyred ones, and found over ninety wounds over his body, caused by stabs or shots (of arrows). |

When we conquered Khaibar, we
gained neither gold nor silver as booty,but we gained cows, camels,
goods and gardens. Then we departed with Allah's Apostle to the valley
of Al-Qira, and at that time Allah's Apostle had a slave called Mid'am
who had been presented to him by oneof 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 theseare two straps
of Fire." |

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 meetour 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." Heasked,
"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 whenthe 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 sharpblade 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 Apostlesaw 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." TheProphet 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." |

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. |

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 AbuBakr waited for him till one day Allah's
Apostle came at noon time andaddressed 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 'Abdullahbin
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 bysetting
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 shepherdswould 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
Umaiyasaid 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 andhis 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). |

Narrated Abu Huraira
The Prophet sent a Sariya of spies
and appointed 'Asim bin Thabit, thegrandfather 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 Hudhailcalled 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 datesthey 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 thereremained
Khubaib, Zaid and another man to whom they gave a promise anda 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 thattime) 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 washeedless of a little baby of
mine, who moved towards Khubaib, and whenit 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 OnceI 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.
Hethen 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 somepeople to
'Asim in order to bring a part of his body so that his deathmight 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. |

if we covered his feet with it, his head became naked. The Prophet said

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. |

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 weepover him, for the angels kept on
covering him with their wings till his body was carried away (for

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 onmeasuring (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 Ilooked at the heap where the Prophet had been
sitting, it seemed as ifa single date had not been taken away thereof." |

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 becamenaked. So the Prophet said to us, "Cover his head with it and
put someIdhkhir (i.e. a kind of grass) over his feet or throw Idhkhir
over hisfeet." But some amongst us have got the fruits of their labor
ripened,and they are collecting them.

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 andhe 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 havedone." 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. |

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 thisplace; 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 clothesfrom 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." Buthis 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 placeand 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,

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
(tohis 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 maywe say?"
The Prophet said, "Say: Allah is our Helper and you have no helper." Abu
Sufyan said, "(This) day compensates for our loss at Badrand (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. |

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. |

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

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. Whenthey reached (a place called) Al-Hadah
between 'Usfan and Mecca, theirpresence 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 themand 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 bythem and
later on they sold them as slaves in Mecca after the event ofthe 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 thatI 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 foodAllah 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! Countthem 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 Ireceive 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 waspsto protect the dead
body of 'Asim, and they shielded him from the messengers who could not
cut anything from his body. |

'Umar sent the Muslims to the
great countries to fight the pagans. When Al-Hurmuzan embraced Islam,
'Umar said to him. "I would like to consult you regarding these
countries which I intend to invade." Al-Hurmuzan said, "Yes, the example
of these countries and their inhabitants who are the enemies. of the
Muslims, is like a bird with ahead, two wings and two legs; If one of
its wings got broken, it wouldget up over its two legs, with one wing
and the head; and if the otherwing got broken, it would get up with two
legs and a head, but if its head got destroyed, then the two legs, two
wings and the head would become useless. The head stands for Khosrau,
and one wing stands for Caesar and the other wing stands for Faris. So,
order the Muslims to go towards Khosrau." So, 'Umar sent us (to Khosrau)
appointing An-Numan bin Muqrin as our commander. When we reached the
land of the enemy, the representative of Khosrau came out with
forty-thousand warriors, and an interpreter got up saying, "Let one of
you talk to me!" Al-Mughira replied, "Ask whatever you wish." The other
asked, "Who are you?" Al-Mughira replied, "We are some people from the
Arabs;we led a hard, miserable, disastrous life: we used to suck the
hides and the date stones from hunger; we used to wear clothes made up
of fur of camels and hair of goats, and to worship trees and stones.
While we were in this state, the Lord of the Heavens and the Earths,
Elevated is His Remembrance and Majestic is His Highness, sent to us
from among ourselves a Prophet whose father and mother are known to us.
Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till
you worship Allah Alone or give Jizya (i.e. tribute); and ourProphet
has informed us that our Lord says:-- "Whoever amongst us is killed
(i.e. martyred),
shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen,
and whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become your master."
(Al-Mughira, then blamed An-Numan for delaying the attack and) An-Nu'
man said to Al-Mughira, "If you had participated in a similar battle, in
the company of Allah's Apostle hewould not have blamed you for waiting,
nor would he have disgraced you. But I accompanied Allah's Apostle in
many battles and it was his custom that if he did not fight early by
daytime, he would wait till the wind had started blowing and the time
for the prayer was due (i.e.after midday)." |

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair
When Az-Zubair got up
during the battle of Al-Jamal, he called me and I stood up beside him,
and he said to me, "O my son! Today one will bekilled either as an
oppressor or as an oppressed one. I see that I will be killed as an
oppressed one. My biggest worry is my debts. Do you think, if we pay the
debts, there will be something left for us from our money?" Az-Zubair
added, "O my son! Sell our property and paymy debts." Az-Zubair then
willed one-third of his property and willed one-third of that portion to
his sons; namely, 'Abdullah's sons. He said, "One-third of the one
third. If any property is left after the payment of the debts, one-third
(of the one-third of what is left) is to be given to your sons."
(Hisham, a sub-narrator added, "Some of thesons of 'Abdullah were equal
in age to the sons of Az-Zubair e.g. Khubaib and 'Abbas. 'Abdullah had
nine sons and nine daughters at thattime." (The narrator 'Abdullah
added:) My father (Az-Zubair) went on drawing my attention to his debts
saying, "If you should fail to pay part of the debts, appeal to my
Master to help you." By Allah! I couldnot understand what he meant till I
asked, "O father! Who is your Master?" He replied, "Allah (is my
Master)." By Allah, whenever I had any difficulty regarding his debts, I
would say, "Master of Az-Zubair!Pay his debts on his behalf ." and
Allah would (help me to) pay it. Az-Zubair was martyred
leaving no Dinar or Dirham but two pieces of land, one of which was
(called) Al-Ghaba, and eleven houses in Medina,two in Basra, one in Kufa
and one in Egypt. In fact, the source of thedebt which he owed was,
that if somebody brought some money to depositwith him. Az Zubair would
say, "No, (i won't keep it as a trust), but I take it as a debt, for I
am afraid it might be lost." Az-Zubair was never appointed governor or
collector of the tax of Kharaj or any other similar thing, but he
collected his wealth (from the war booty he gained) during the holy
battles he took part in, in the company of the Prophet, Abu Bakr, 'Umar,
and 'Uthman. ('Abdullah bin Az-Zubair added:) When I counted his debt,
it turned to be two million and two hundred thousand. (The sub-narrator
added:) Hakim bin Hizam met Abdullah bin Zubair and asked, "O my nephew!
How much is the debt of my brother?" 'Abdullah kept it as a secret and
said, "One hundred thousand," Hakim said, "By Allah! I don't think your
property will cover it." On that 'Abdullah said to him, "What if it is
two million and two hundred thousand?" Hakim said, "I don't think you
can pay it; so if you are unable to pay all of it, I will help you."
Az-Zubair hadalready bought Al-Ghaba for one hundred and seventy
thousand. 'Abdullah sold it for one million and six hundred thousand.
Then he called the people saying, "Any person who has any money claim on
Az-Zubair should come to us in Al-Ghaba." There came to him 'Abdullah
bin Ja'far whom Az-Zubair owed four hundred thousand. He said to
'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair, "If you wish I will forgive you the debt."
'Abdullah (bin Az-Zubair) said, "No." Then Ibn Ja'far said, "If you wish
you can defer the payment if you should defer the payment of any debt."
Ibn Az-Zubair said, "No." 'Abdullah bin Ja'far said, "Give me apiece of
the land." 'Abdullah bin AzZubair said (to him), "Yours is the land
extending from this place to this place." So, 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair
sold some of the property (including the houses) and paid his debt
perfectly, retaining four and a half shares from the land (i.e.
Al-Ghaba). He then went to Mu'awlya while 'Amr bin 'Uthman, Al-Mundhir
bin Az-Zubair and Ibn Zam'a were sitting with him. Mu'awiyaasked, "At
what price have you appraised Al-Ghaba?" He said, "One hundred thousand
for each share," Muawiya asked, "How many shares havebeen left?"
'Abdullah replied, "Four and a half shares." Al-Mundhir bin Az-Zubair
said, "I would like to buy one share for one hundred thousand." 'Amr bin
'Uthman said, "I would like to buy one share for one hundred thousand."
Ibn Zam'a said, "I would like to buy one share for one hundred
thousand." Muawiya said, "How much is left now?" 'Abdullah replied, "One
share and a half." Muawiya said, "I would liketo buy it for one hundred
and fifty thousand." 'Abdullah also sold hispart to Muawiya six hundred
thousand. When Ibn AzZubair had paid all the debts. Az-Zubair's sons
said to him, "Distribute our inheritance among us." He said, "No, by
Allah, I will not distribute it among you till I announce in four
successive Hajj seasons, 'Would those who havemoney claims on Az-Zubair
come so that we may pay them their debt." So, he started to announce
that in public in every Hajj season, and when four years had elapsed, he
distributed the inheritance among the inheritors. Az-Zubair had four
wives, and after the one-third of his property was excluded (according
to the will), each of his wives received one million and two hundred
thousand. So the total amount of his property was fifty million and two
hundred thousand. |

Apostle on his pulpit delivering a sermon in this connection before the
people, and I had then attained my age of puberty. Allah's Apostle said,
"Fatima is from me, and I am afraid she will be subjected to trials in
her religion (because of jealousy)." The Prophet then mentioned one of
his son-in-law who was from the tribe of 'Abu Shams, and he praised him
as a good son-in-law,saying, "Whatever he said was the truth, and he
promised me and fulfilled his promise. I do not make a legal thing
illegal, nor do I make an illegal thing legal, but by Allah, the
daughter of Allah's Apostle and the daughter of the enemy of Allah,

Allah's Apostle sent a Sariya of
ten men as spies under the leadershipof 'Asim bin Thabit al-Ansari, the
grandfather of 'Asim bin Umar Al-Khattab. They proceeded till they
reached Hadaa, a place between 'Usfan, and Mecca, and their news reached
a branch of the tribe of Hudhail called Bani Lihyan. About two-hundred
men, who were all archers, hurried to follow their tracks till they
found the place where they had eaten dates they had brought with them
from Medina. They said, "These are the dates of Yathrib (i.e. Medina),
"and continued following their tracks When 'Asim and his companions saw
their pursuers, they went up a high place and the infidels circled them.
The infidels said to them, "Come down and surrender, and we promise and
guarantee you that we will not kill any one of you" 'Asim bin Thabit;
the leader of the Sariya said, "By Allah! I will not come down to be
under the protection of infidels. O Allah! Convey our news to Your
Prophet. Then the infidels threw arrows at them till they martyred
'Asim along with six other men, and three men came down accepting their
promise and convention, and they were Khubaib-al-Ansari and Ibn Dathina
and another man So, when the infidels captured them, they undid the
strings of their bows and tied them. Then the third (of the captives)
said, "This is the first betrayal. By Allah! I will not go with you. No
doubt these, namely themartyred,
have set a good example to us." So, they dragged him and tried to
compel him to accompany them, but as he refused, they killed him. They
took Khubaid and Ibn Dathina with them and sold them (as slaves) in
Mecca (and all that took place) after the battle of Badr. Khubaib was
bought by the sons of Al-Harith bin 'Amir bin Naufal bin 'Abd Manaf. It
was Khubaib who had killed Al-Harith bin 'Amir on the day (of the battle
of) Badr. So, Khubaib remained a prisoner with those people.
Narrated
Az-Zuhri: 'Ubaidullah bin 'Iyyad said that the daughter of Al-Harith
had told him, "When those people gathered (to kill Khubaib) he borrowed a
razor from me to shave his pubes and I gave it to him. Then he took a
son of mine while I was unaware when he came upon him. I saw him placing
my son on his thigh and the razor was in his hand. Igot scared so much
that Khubaib noticed the agitation on my face and said, 'Are you afraid
that I will kill him? No, I will never do so.' By Allah, I never saw a
prisoner better than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I saw him eating of a
bunch of grapes in his hand while he was chained in irons, and there was
no fruit at that time in Mecca." The daughter of Al-Harith used to say,
"It was a boon Allah bestowed upon Khubaib." When they took him out of
the Sanctuary (of Mecca) to kill him outside its boundaries, Khubaib
requested them to let him offer two Rakat (prayer). They allowed him and
he offered Two Rakat and thensaid, "Hadn't I been afraid that you would
think that I was afraid (ofbeing killed), I would have prolonged the
prayer. O Allah, kill them all with no exception." (He then recited the
poetic verse):-- "I beingmartyred
as a Muslim, Do not mind how I am killed in Allah's Cause, For my
killing is for Allah's Sake, And if Allah wishes, He will blessthe
amputated parts of a torn body" Then the son of Al Harith killed him.
So, it was Khubaib who set the tradition for any Muslim sentencedto
death in captivity, to offer a two-Rak'at prayer (before being killed).
Allah fulfilled the invocation of Asim bin Thabit on that very day on
which he was martyred.
The Prophet informed his companionsof their news and what had happened
to them. Later on when some infidels from Quraish were informed that
Asim had been killed, they sent some people to fetch a part of his body
(i.e. his head) by which he would be recognized. (That was because)
'Asim had killed one of their chiefs on the day (of the battle) of Badr.
So, a swarm of wasps,resembling a shady cloud, were sent to hover over
Asim and protect himfrom their messenger and thus they could not cut off
anything from hisflesh. |

Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib
The Prophet appointed
'Abdullah bin Jubair as the commander of the infantry men (archers) who
were fifty on the day (of the battle) of Uhud. He instructed them,
"Stick to your place, and don't leave it even if you see birds snatching
us, till I send for you; and if you see that we have defeated the
infidels and made them flee, even then you should not leave your place
till I send for you." Then the infidels were defeated. By Allah, I saw
the women fleeing lifting up their clothes revealing their leg-bangles
and their legs. So, the companions of 'Abdullah bin Jubair said, "The
booty! O people, the booty ! Your companions have become victorious,
what are you waiting for now?" 'Abdullah bin Jubair said, "Have you
forgotten what Allah's Apostle said to you?" They replied, "By Allah! We
will go to the people (i.e. the enemy) and collect our share from the
war booty." Butwhen they went to them, they were forced to turn back
defeated. At that time Allah's Apostle in their rear was calling them
back. Only twelve men remained with the Prophet and the infidels martyred seventymen from us.
On
the day (of the battle) of Badr, the Prophet and his companions
hadcaused the 'Pagans to lose 140 men, seventy of whom were captured and
seventy were killed. Then Abu Sufyan asked thrice, "Is Muhammad present
amongst these people?" The Prophet ordered his companions not to answer
him. Then he asked thrice, "Is the son of Abu Quhafa presentamongst
these people?" He asked again thrice, "Is the son of Al-Khattab present
amongst these people?" He then returned to his companions and said, "As
for these (men), they have been killed." 'Umar could not control himself
and said (to Abu Sufyan), "You told a lie, by Allah! O enemy of Allah!
All those you have mentioned are alive, and the thing which will make
you unhappy is still there." Abu Sufyan said, "Our victory today is a
counterbalance to yours in the battle of Badr, and in war (the victory)
is always undecided and is shared in turns by the belligerents, and you
will find some of your (killed) men mutilated, but I did not urge my men
to do so, yet I do not feel sorry for their deed" After that he started
reciting cheerfully, "O Hubal, be high! (1) On that the Prophet said
(to his companions), "Why don't you answer him back?" They said, "O
Allah's Apostle What shall we say?" He said, "Say, Allah is Higher and
more Sublime." (Then) Abu Sufyan said, "We have the (idol) Al Uzza, and
youhave no Uzza." The Prophet said (to his companions), "Why don't you
answer him back?" They asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What shall we say?" He
said, "Says Allah is our Helper and you have no helper." |

I participated in a Ghazwa
along with Allah's Apostle The Prophet met me (on the way) while I was
riding a camel of ours used for irrigationand it had got so tired that
it could hardly walk. The Prophet asked me, "What is wrong with the
camel?" I replied, "It has got tired." So.Allah's Apostle came from
behind it and rebuked it and prayed for it so it started surpassing the
other camels and going ahead of them. Then he asked me, "How do you find
your camel (now)?" I replied, "I find it quite well, now as it has
received your blessings." He said, "Will you sell it to me?" I felt shy
(to refuse his offer) though it was the only camel for irrigation we
had. So, I said, "Yes." He said, "Sell it to me then." I sold it to him
on the condition that I should keep on riding it till I reached Medina.
Then I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I am a bridegroom," and requested him
to allow me to go home.He allowed me, and I set out for Medina before
the people till I reached Medina, where I met my uncle, who asked me
about the camel andI informed him all about it and he blamed me for
that. When I took thepermission of Allah's Apostle he asked me whether I
had married a virgin or a matron and I replied that I had married a
matron. He said,"Why hadn't you married a virgin who would have played
with you, and you would have played with her?" I replied, "O Allah's
Apostle! My father died (or was martyred)
and I have some young sisters, so I feltit not proper that I should
marry a young girl like them who would neither teach them manners nor
serve them. So, I have married a matronso that she may serve them and
teach them manners." When Allah's Apostle arrived in Medina, I took the
camel to him the next morning and he gave me its price and gave me the
camel itself as well. |

that time. When the Prophet saw how they behaved, he went round the
biggest heap for three times and sat over it and said, "Call your
companions (i.e. the creditors)." Then he kept on measuring and giving
them, till Allahcleared all my father's debts. By Allah, it would have

were complete, (as they were) and I looked at the heap where Allah's

the mother of the believers Aisha and say, 'Umar binAl-Khattab sends
his greetings to you,' and request her to allow me tobe buried with my
companions." (So, Ibn 'Umar conveyed the message to 'Aisha.) She said,
"I had the idea of having this place for myself buttoday I prefer him
('Umar) to myself (and allow him to be buried there)." When 'Abdullah
bin 'Umar returned, 'Umar asked him, "What (news) do you have?" He
replied, "O chief of the believers! She has allowed you (to be buried
there)." On that 'Umar said, "Nothing was more important to me than to
be buried in that (sacred) place. So, when I expire, carry me there and
pay my greetings to her ('Aisha ) and say, 'Umar bin Al-Khattab asks
permission; and if she gives permission, then bury me (there) and if she
does not, then take me to the grave-yard of the Muslims. I do not think
any person has more right for the caliphate than those with whom
Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h)was always pleased till his death. And whoever
is chosen by the peopleafter me will be the caliph, and you people must

'Ali, Talha, Az-Zubair, 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf and Sad bin Abi Waqqas.
By
this time a young man from Ansar came and said, "O chief of the
believers! Be happy with Allah's glad tidings. The grade which you have
in Islam is known to you, then you became the caliph and you ruled with
justice and then you have been awarded martyrdom
after all this." 'Umar replied, "O son of my brother! Would that all
that privileges will counterbalance (my short comings), so that I
neither lose nor gain anything. I recommend my successor to be good to
the early emigrants and realize their rights and to protect their honor
and sacred things. And I also recommend him to be good to the Ansar who
before them, had homes (in Medina) and had adopted the Faith. He should
accept the good of the righteous among them and should excuse their
wrongdoers. I recommend him to abide by the rules and regulations
concerning the Dhimmis (protectees) of Allah and His Apostle, to fulfill
their contracts completely and fight for them and not to tax

Narrated Samura bin Jundab
Whenever the Prophet
finished the (morning) prayer, he would face us and ask, "Who amongst
you had a dream last night?" So if anyone had seen a dream he would
narrate it. The Prophet would say: "Ma sha'a-llah" (An Arabic maxim
meaning literally, 'What Allah wished,' and it indicates a good omen.)
One day, he asked us whether anyone of us had seen a dream. We replied
in the negative. The Prophet said, "But I had seen (a dream) last night
that two men came to me, caught hold of my hands, and took me to the
Sacred Land (Jerusalem). There, Isaw a person sitting and another
standing with an iron hook in his hand pushing it inside the mouth of
the former till it reached the jaw-bone, and then tore off one side of
his cheek, and then did the same with the other side; in the mean-time
the first side of his cheekbecame normal again and then he repeated the
same operation again. I said, 'What is this?' They told me to proceed on
and we went on till we came to a man Lying flat on his back, and
another man standing at his head carrying a stone or a piece of rock,
and crushing the head ofthe Lying man, with that stone. Whenever he
struck him, the stone rolled away.
The man went to pick it up and
by the time he returned to him, the crushed head had returned to its
normal state and the man came back and struck him again (and so on). I
said, 'Who is this?' They told me to proceed on; so we proceeded on and
passed by a hole like an oven; with a narrow top and wide bottom, and
the fire was kindling underneath that hole. Whenever the fire-flame went
up, the people werelifted up to such an extent that they about to get
out of it, and whenever the fire got quieter, the people went down into
it, and therewere naked men and women in it. I said, 'Who is this?' They
told me toproceed on. So we proceeded on till we reached a river of
blood and a man was in it, and another man was standing at its bank with
stones infront of him, facing the man standing in the river. Whenever
the man in the river wanted to come out, the other one threw a stone in
his mouth and caused him to retreat to his original position; and so
whenever he wanted to come out the other would throw a stone in his
mouth, and he would retreat to his original position. I asked, 'What is
this?' They told me to proceed on and we did so till we reached a
well-flourished green garden having a huge tree and near its root was
sitting an old man with some children. (I saw) Another man near the tree
with fire in front of him and he was kindling it up. Then they (i.e. my
two companions) made me climb up the tree and made me enter ahouse,
better than which I have ever seen. In it were some old men andyoung
men, women and children.
Then they took me out of this house and
made me climb up the tree and made me enter another house that was
better and superior (to the first) containing old and young people. I
said to them (i.e. my two companions), 'You have made me ramble all the
night. Tell me all aboutthat I have seen.' They said, 'Yes. As for the
one whose cheek you sawbeing torn away, he was a liar and he used to
tell lies, and the people would report those lies on his authority till
they spread all over the world. So, he will be punished like that till
the Day of Resurrection.
The one whose head you saw being crushed
is the one whom Allah had given the knowledge of Quran (i.e. knowing it
by heart) but he used tosleep at night (i.e. he did not recite it then)
and did not use to actupon it (i.e. upon its orders etc.) by day; and so
this punishment will go on till the Day of Resurrection. And those you
saw in the hole(like oven) were adulterers (those men and women who
commit illegal sexual intercourse). And those you saw in the river of
blood were those dealing in Riba (usury). And the old man who was
sitting at the base of the tree was Abraham and the little children
around him were the offspring of the people. And the one who was
kindling the fire wasMalik, the gate-keeper of the Hell-fire. And the
first house in which you have gone was the house of the common
believers, and the second house was of the martyrs.
I am Gabriel and this is Michael. Raise yourhead.' I raised my head and
saw a thing like a cloud over me. They said, 'That is your place.' I
said, 'Let me enter my place.' They said, 'You still have some life
which you have not yet completed, and when you complete (that remaining
portion of your life) you will then enter your place.' " |

When the reciters of Quran were martyred, Allah's Apostle recited Qunut for one month and I never saw him (i.e. Allah's Apostle) so sad as he was on that day. |

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah
On the day of the Battle
of Uhud, my father was brought and he had been mayhemed and was placed
in front of Allah's Apostle and a sheet was over him. I went intending
to uncover my father but my people forbade me; again I wanted to uncover
him but my people forbade me. Allah's Apostle gave his order and he was
shifted away. At that time he heard the voice of a crying woman and
asked, "Who is this?" They said, "It is the daughter or the sister of
Amr." He said, "Why does she weep? (or let her stop weeping), for the
angels had been shading him with their wings till he (i.e. the body of
the martyr) was shiftedaway." |

Narrated Khabbab
We emigrated with the Prophet
(p.b.u.h) in Allah's cause, and so our reward was then surely incumbent
on Allah. Some of us died and they did not take anything from their
rewards in this world, and amongst them was Mustab bin 'Umar; and the
others were those who got their rewards. Mustab bin 'Umar was martyred
on the day of the Battle of Uhud and we could get nothing except his
Burd to shroud him in. And when we covered his head his feet became bare
and vice versa. So the Prophet ordered us to cover his head only and to
put idhkhir (a kind of shrub) over his feet. |

Narrated Ibrahim
Once a meal was brought to 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf and he was fasting. He said, "Mustab bin 'Umar was martyred
and he was better than I and was shrouded in his Burd and when his head
was covered with it, his legs became bare, and when his legs were
covered his head got uncovered. Hamza was martyred
and was better than I. Now the worldly wealth have been bestowed upon
us (or said a similar thing). No doubt,I fear that the rewards of my
deeds might have been given earlier in this world." Then he started
weeping and left his food. |

and he was better than I, and he had nothing except his Burd (a black
square narrow dress) to beshrouded in. Hamza or another person was martyred
and he was also better than I and he had nothing to be shrouded in
except his Burd. Nodoubt, I fear that the rewards of my deeds might have
been given earlyin this world." Then he started weeping. |

When my father was martyred,
I lifted the sheet from his face and weptand the people forbade me to
do so but the Prophet did not forbid me. Then my aunt Fatima began
weeping and the Prophet said, "It is all thesame whether you weep or
not. The angels were shading him continuouslywith their wings till you
shifted him (from the field). " |

Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet said, "martyrs
are those who die because of drowning, plague, an abdominal
disease, or of being buried alive by a falling building." And then
he added, "If the people knew the Reward for the Zuhr prayer in its
early time, they would race for it. If they knew the reward for
the 'Isha' and the Fajr prayers in congregation, they would join
them even if they had to crawl. If they knew the reward for the
first row, they would draw lots for it." |

Narrated Abu Huraira:Allah's Apostle said, "While a man was
going on a way, he saw a thorny branch and removed it from the way
and Allah became pleased by his action and forgave him for that."
Then the Prophet said, "Five are martyrs:
One who dies of plague, one who dies of an abdominal disease, one
who dies of drowning, one who is buried alive (and) dies and one
who is killed in Allah's cause." (The Prophet further said, "If the
people knew the reward for pronouncing the Adhan and for standing in
the first row (in the congregational prayer) and found no other way
to get it except by drawing lots they would do so, and if they knew
the reward of offering the Zuhr prayer early (in its stated time),
they would race for it and they knew the reward for 'Isha' and Fajr
prayers in congregation, they would attend them even if they were
to crawl') |

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "The person
who participates in (Holy battles) in Allah's cause and nothing compels
him to do so except belief in Allah and His Apostles, will be
recompensed by Allah either with a reward, or booty (if he survives) or
will be admitted to Paradise (if he is killed in the battle as a martyr).
Had I not found it difficult for my followers, then I would not remain
behind any sariya going for Jihad and I would have loved to be martyred in Allah's cause and then made alive, and then martyred and then made alive, and then again martyred in His cause." |
