| (1) Narrated
'Abdullah bin 'Abbas: Abu Sufyan bin Harb informed me that Heraclius
had sent a messenger to him while he had been accompanying a caravan
from Quraish. They were merchants doing business in Sham (Syria,
Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan), at the time when Allah's Apostle had
truce with Abu Sufyan and Quraish infidels. So Abu Sufyan and his
companions went to Heraclius at Ilya (Jerusalem). Heraclius called them
in the court and he had all the senior Roman dignitaries around him. He
called for his translator who, translating Heraclius's question said to
them, "Who amongst you is closely related to that man who claims to be a
Prophet?" Abu Sufyan replied, "I am the nearest relative to him
(amongst the group)." Heraclius said, "Bring him (Abu Sufyan) close to
me and make his companions stand behind him." Abu Sufyan added,
Heraclius told his translator to tell my companions that he wanted to
put some questions to me regarding that man (The Prophet) and that if I
told a lie they (my companions) should contradict me." Abu Sufyan added,
"By Allah! Had I not been afraid of my companions labeling me a liar, I
would not have spoken the truth about the Prophet. The first question
he asked me about him was: 'What is his family status amongst you?' I
replied, 'He belongs to a good (noble) family amongst us.' Heraclius
further asked, 'Has anybody amongst you ever claimed the same (i.e. to
be a Prophet) before him?' I replied, 'No.' He said, 'Was anybody
amongst his ancestors a king?' I replied, 'No.' Heraclius asked, 'Do the
nobles or the poor follow him?' I replied, 'It is the poor who follow
him.' He said, 'Are his followers increasing decreasing (day by day)?' I
replied, 'They are increasing.' He then asked, 'Does anybody amongst
those who embrace his religion become displeased and renounce the
religion afterwards?' I replied, 'No.' Heraclius said, 'Have you ever
accused him of telling lies before his claim (to be a Prophet)?' I
replied, 'No. ' Heraclius said, 'Does he break his promises?' I replied,
'No. We are at truce with him but we do not know what he will do in
it.' I could not find opportunity to say anything against him except
that. Heraclius asked, 'Have you ever had a war with him?' I replied,
'Yes.' Then he said, 'What was the outcome of the battles?' I replied,
'Sometimes he was victorious and sometimes we.' Heraclius said, 'What
does he order you to do?' I said, 'He tells us to worship Allah and
Allah alone and not to worship anything along with Him, and to renounce
all that our ancestors had said. He orders us to pray, to speak the
truth, to be chaste and to keep good relations with our Kith and kin.'
Heraclius asked the translator to convey to me the following, I asked
you about his family and your reply was that he belonged to a very noble
family. In fact all the Apostles come from noble families amongst their
respective peoples. I questioned you whether anybody else amongst you
claimed such a thing, your reply was in the negative. If the answer had
been in the affirmative, I would have thought that this man was
following the previous man's statement. Then I asked you whether anyone
of his ancestors was a king. Your reply was in the negative, and if it
had been in the affirmative, I would have thought that this man wanted
to take back his ancestral kingdom. I further asked whether he was ever
accused of telling lies before he said what he said, and your reply was
in the negative. So I wondered how a person who does not tell a lie
about others could ever tell a lie about Allah. I, then asked you
whether the rich people followed him or the poor. You replied that it
was the poor who followed him. And in fact all the Apostle have been
followed by this very class of people. Then I asked you whether his
followers were increasing or decreasing. You replied that they were
increasing, and in fact this is the way of true faith, till it is
complete in all respects. I further asked you whether there was anybody,
who, after embracing his religion, became displeased and discarded his
religion. Your reply was in the negative, and in fact this is (the sign
of) true faith, when its delight enters the hearts and mixes with them
completely. I asked you whether he had ever betrayed. You replied in the
negative and likewise the Apostles never betray. Then I asked you what
he ordered you to do. You replied that he ordered you to worship Allah
and Allah alone and not to worship any thing along with Him and forbade
you to worship idols and ordered you to pray, to speak the truth and to
be chaste. If what you have said is true, he will very soon occupy this
place underneath my feet and I knew it (from the scriptures) that he was
going to appear but I did not know that he would be from you, and if I
could reach him definitely, I would go immediately to meet him and if I
were with him, I would certainly wash his feet.' Heraclius then asked
for the letter addressed by Allah's Apostle which was delivered by Dihya
to the Governor of Busra, who forwarded it to Heraclius to read. The
contents of the letter were as follows: "In the name of Allah the
Beneficent, the Merciful (This letter is) from Muhammad the slave of
Allah and His Apostle to Heraclius the ruler of Byzantine. Peace be upon
him, who follows the right path. Furthermore I invite you to Islam, and
if you become a Muslim you will be safe, and Allah will double your
reward, and if you reject this invitation of Islam you will be
committing a sin by misguiding your Arisiyin (peasants). (And I recite
to you Allah's Statement:) 'O people of the scripture! Come to a word
common to you and us that we worship none but Allah and that we
associate nothing in worship with Him, and that none of us shall take
others as Lords beside Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: Bear witness
that we are Muslims (those who have surrendered to Allah).' (3:64). Abu
Sufyan then added, "When Heraclius had finished his speech and had read
the letter, there was a great hue and cry in the Royal Court. So we
were turned out of the court. I told my companions that the question of
Ibn-Abi-Kabsha) (the Prophet Muhammad) has become so prominent that even
the King of Bani Al-Asfar (Byzantine) is afraid of him. Then I started
to become sure that he (the Prophet) would be the conqueror in the near
future till I embraced Islam (i.e. Allah guided me to it)." The sub
narrator adds, "Ibn An-Natur was the Governor of llya' (Jerusalem) and
Heraclius was the head of the Christians of Sham. Ibn An-Natur narrates
that once while Heraclius was visiting ilya' (Jerusalem), he got up in
the morning with a sad mood. Some of his priests asked him why he was in
that mood? Heraclius was a foreteller and an astrologer. He replied,
'At night when I looked at the stars, I saw that the leader of those who
practice circumcision had appeared (become the conqueror). Who are they
who practice circumcision?' The people replied, 'Except the Jews nobody
practices circumcision, so you should not be afraid of them (Jews).
'Just Issue orders to kill every Jew
present in the country.' While they were discussing it, a messenger
sent by the king of Ghassan to convey the news of Allah's Apostle to
Heraclius was brought in. Having heard the news, he (Heraclius) ordered
the people to go and see whether the messenger of Ghassan was
circumcised. The people, after seeing him, told Heraclius that he was
circumcised. Heraclius then asked him about the Arabs. The messenger
replied, 'Arabs also practice circumcision.' (After hearing that)
Heraclius remarked that sovereignty of the 'Arabs had appeared.
Heraclius then wrote a letter to his friend in Rome who was as good as
Heraclius in knowledge. Heraclius then left for Homs. (a town in Syrian
and stayed there till he received the reply of his letter from his
friend who agreed with him in his opinion about the emergence of the
Prophet and the fact that he was a Prophet. On that Heraclius invited
all the heads of the Byzantines to assemble in his palace at Homs. When
they assembled, he ordered that all the doors of his palace be closed.
Then he came out and said, 'O Byzantines! If success is your desire and
if you seek right guidance and want your empire to remain then give a
pledge of allegiance to this Prophet (i.e. embrace Islam).' (On hearing
the views of Heraclius) the people ran towards the gates of the palace
like onagers but found the doors closed. Heraclius realized their hatred
towards Islam and when he lost the hope of their embracing Islam, he
ordered that they should be brought back in audience. (When they
returned) he said, 'What already said was just to test the strength of
your conviction and I have seen it.' The people prostrated before him
and became pleased with him, and this was the end of Heraclius's story
(in connection with his faith). (Book #1, Hadith #6) |
| (2) Narrated
'Ubada bin As-Samit: who took part in the battle of Badr and was a
Naqib (a person heading a group of six persons), on the night of
Al-'Aqaba pledge: Allah's Apostle said while a group of his companions
were around him, "Swear allegiance to me for: 1. Not to join anything in
worship along with Allah. 2. Not to steal. 3. Not to commit illegal
sexual intercourse. 4. Not to kill
your children. 5. Not to accuse an innocent person (to spread such an
accusation among people). 6. Not to be disobedient (when ordered) to do
good deed." The Prophet added: "Whoever among you fulfills his pledge
will be rewarded by Allah. And whoever indulges in any one of them
(except the ascription of partners to Allah) and gets the punishment in
this world, that punishment will be an expiation for that sin. And if
one indulges in any of them, and Allah conceals his sin, it is up to Him
to forgive or punish him (in the Hereafter)." 'Ubada bin As-Samit
added: "So we swore allegiance for these." (points to Allah's Apostle)
(Book #2, Hadith #17) |
| (3) Narrated
Al-Ahnaf bin Qais: While I was going to help this man ('Ali Ibn Abi
Talib), Abu Bakra met me and asked, "Where are you going?" I replied, "I
am going to help that person." He said, "Go back for I have heard
Allah's Apostle saying, 'When two Muslims fight (meet) each other with
their swords, both the murderer as well as the murdered will go to the
Hell-fire.' I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! It is all right for the murderer
but what about the murdered one?' Allah's Apostle replied, "He surely
had the intention to kill his companion."
(Book #2, Hadith #30) |
| (4) Narrated
Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The person who participates 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

Al-Bara' (bin 'Azib): When the Prophet came to Medina, he stayed first
with his grandfathers or maternal uncles from Ansar. He offered his
prayers facing Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) for sixteen or seventeen
months, but he wished that he could pray facing the Ka'ba (at Mecca).
The first prayer which he offered facing the Ka'ba was the 'Asr prayer
in the company of some people. Then one of those who had offered that
prayer with him came out and passed by some people in a mosque who were
bowing during their prayers (facing Jerusalem). He said addressing them,
"By Allah, I testify that I have prayed with Allah's Apostle facing
Mecca (Ka'ba).' Hearing that, those people changed their direction
towards the Ka'ba immediately. Jews and the people of the scriptures
used to be pleased to see the Prophet facing Jerusalem in prayers but
when he changed his direction towards the Ka'ba, during the prayers,
they disapproved of it. Al-Bara' added, "Before we changed our direction
towards the Ka'ba (Mecca) in prayers, some Muslims had died or had been
killed and we did not know what to
say about them (regarding their prayers.) Allah then revealed: And Allah
would never make your faith (prayers) to be lost (i.e. the prayers of
those Muslims were valid).' " (2:143).

decree (Al-Qadr) but there happened a quarrel between two Muslim men.
The Prophet said, "I came out to inform you about (the date of) the
night of Al-Qadr, but as so and so and so and so quarrelled, its
knowledge was taken away (I forgot it) and maybe it was better for you.
Now look for it in the 7th, the 9th and the 5th (of the last 10 nights

Ash-Sha'bi: Abu Juhaifa said, "I asked Ali, 'Have you got any book
(which has been revealed to the Prophet apart from the Qur'an)?' 'Ali
replied, 'No, except Allah's Book or the power of understanding which
has been bestowed (by Allah) upon a Muslim or what is (written) in this
sheet of paper (with me).' Abu Juhaifa said, "I asked, 'What is
(written) in this sheet of paper?' Ali replied, it deals with The Diyya
(compensation (blood money) paid by the killer
to the relatives of the victim), the ransom for the releasing of the
captives from the hands of the enemies, and the law that no Muslim
should be killed in Qisas (equality in punishment) for the killing of (a disbeliever).

| (9) Narrated Abu Huraira: In the year of the Conquest of Mecca, the tribe of Khuza'a killed a man from the tribe of Bani Laith in revenge for a killed
person, belonging to them. They informed the Prophet about it. So he
rode his Rahila (she-camel for riding) and addressed the people saying,
"Allah held back the killing from Mecca. (The sub-narrator is in doubt whether the Prophet said "elephant or killing,"
as the Arabic words standing for these words have great similarity in
shape), but He (Allah) let His Apostle and the believers over power the
infidels of Mecca. Beware! (Mecca is a sanctuary) Verily! Fighting in
Mecca was not permitted for anyone before me nor will it be permitted
for anyone after me. It (war) in it was made legal for me for few hours
or so on that day. No doubt it is at this moment a sanctuary, it is not
allowed to uproot its thorny shrubs or to uproot its trees or to pick up
its Luqatt (fallen things) except by a person who will look for its
owner (announce it publicly). And if somebody is killed, then his closest relative has the right to choose one of the two-- the blood money (Diyya) or retaliation having the killer killed.
In the meantime a man from Yemen came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Get
that written for me." The Prophet ordered his companions to write that
for him. Then a man from Quraish said, "Except Al-Iqhkhir (a type of
grass that has good smell) O Allah's Apostle, as we use it in our houses
and graves." The Prophet said, "Except Al-Idhkhiri.e. Al-Idhkhir is
allowed to be plucked."

Ubai bin Ka'b: The Prophet said, "Once the Prophet Moses stood up and
addressed Bani Israel. He was asked, "Who is the most learned man
amongst the people. He said, "I am the most learned." Allah admonished
Moses as he did not attribute absolute knowledge to Him (Allah). So
Allah inspired to him "At the junction of the two seas there is a slave
amongst my slaves who is more learned than you." Moses said, "O my Lord!
How can I meet him?" Allah said: Take a fish in a large basket (and
proceed) and you will find him at the place where you will lose the
fish. So Moses set out along with his (servant) boy, Yusha' bin Nuin and
carried a fish in a large basket till they reached a rock, where they
laid their heads (i.e. lay down) and slept. The fish came out of the
basket and it took its way into the sea as in a tunnel. So it was an
amazing thing for both Moses and his (servant) boy. They proceeded for
the rest of that night and the following day. When the day broke, Moses
said to his (servant) boy: "Bring us our early meal. No doubt, we have
suffered much fatigue in this journey." Moses did not get tired till he
passed the place about which he was told. There the (servant) boy told
Moses, "Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed
forgot the fish." Moses remarked, "That is what we have been seeking. So
they went back retracing their foot-steps, till they reached the rock.
There they saw a man covered with a garment (or covering himself with
his own garment). Moses greeted him. Al-Khadir replied saying, "How do
people greet each other in your land?" Moses said, "I am Moses." He
asked, "The Moses of Bani Israel?" Moses replied in the affirmative and
added, "May I follow you so that you teach me of that knowledge which
you have been taught." Al-Khadir replied, "Verily! You will not be able
to remain patient with me, O Moses! I have some of the knowledge of
Allah which He has taught me and which you do not know, while you have
some knowledge which Allah has taught you which I do not know." Moses
said, "Allah willing, you will find me patient and I will not disobey
you in aught. So both of them set out walking along the sea-shore, as
they did not have a boat. In the meantime a boat passed by them and they
requested the crew of the boat to take them on board. The crew
recognized Al-Khadir and took them on board without fare. Then a sparrow
came and stood on the edge of the boat and dipped its beak once or
twice in the sea. Al-Khadir said: "O Moses! My knowledge and your
knowledge have not decreased Allah's knowledge except as much as this
sparrow has decreased the water of the sea with its beak." Al-Khadir
went to one of the planks of the boat and plucked it out. Moses said,
"These people gave us a free lift but you have broken their boat and
scuttled it so as to drown its people." Al-Khadir replied, "Didn't I
tell you that you will not be able to remain patient with me." Moses
said, "Call me not to account for what I forgot." The first (excuse) of
Moses was that he had forgotten. Then they proceeded further and found a
boy playing with other boys. Al-Khadir took hold of the boy's head from
the top and plucked it out with his hands (i.e. killed him). Moses said, "Have you killed an innocent soul who has killed
none." Al-Kha,dir replied, "Did I not tell you that you cannot remain
patient with me?" Then they both proceeded till when they came to the
people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to
entertain them. Then they found there a wall on the point of collapsing.
Al-Khadir repaired it with his own hands. Moses said, "If you had
wished, surely you could have taken wages for it." Al-Khadir replied,
"This is the parting between you and me." The Prophet added, "May Allah
be Merciful to Moses! Would that he could have been more patient to
learn more about his story with Al-Khadir. "

banks of a water-stream which either kill

him." So, Muhammad bin Maslama went to Ka'b and said, "I want a loan of
one or two Wasqs of food grains." Ka'b said, "Mortgage your women to
me." Muhammad bin Maslama said, "How can we mortgage our women, and you
are the most handsome among the Arabs?" He said, "Then mortgage your
sons to me." Muhammad said, "How can we mortgage our sons, as the people
will abuse them for being mortgaged for one or two Wasqs of food
grains? It is shameful for us. But we will mortgage our arms to you."
So, Muhammad bin Maslama promised him that he would come to him next
time. They (Muhammad bin Maslama and his companions came to him as
promised and murdered him. Then they went to the Prophet and told him
about it.

Ibn Aun: I wrote a letter to Nafi and Nafi wrote in reply to my letter
that the Prophet had suddenly attacked Bani Mustaliq without warning
while they were heedless and their cattle were being watered at the
places of water. Their fighting men were killed
and their women and children were taken as captives; the Prophet got
Juwairiya on that day. Nafi said that Ibn 'Umar had told him the above
narration and that Ibn 'Umar was in that army.

Anas bin Malik: A Jewess brought a poisoned (cooked) sheep for the
Prophet who ate from it. She was brought to the Prophet and he was
asked, "Shall we kill her?" He said, "No." I continued to see the effect of the poison on the palate of the mouth of Allah's Apostle .

Anas: The Prophet was asked about the great sins He said, "They are:--
(1 ) To join others in worship with Allah, (2) To be undutiful to one's
parents. (3) To kill a person (which Allah has forbidden to kill) (i.e. to commit the crime of murdering). (4) And to give a false witness."

Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) "Whenever Allah's Apostle intended to
go on a journey, he would draw lots amongst his wives and would take
with him the one upon whom the lot fell. During a Ghazwa of his, he drew
lots amongst us and the lot fell upon me, and I proceeded with him
after Allah had decreed the use of the veil by women. I was carried in a
Howdah (on the camel) and dismounted while still in it. When Allah's
Apostle was through with his Ghazwa and returned home, and we approached
the city of Medina, Allah's Apostle ordered us to proceed at night.
When the order of setting off was given, I walked till I was past the
army to answer the call of nature. After finishing I returned (to the
camp) to depart (with the others) and suddenly realized that my necklace
over my chest was missing. So, I returned to look for it and was
delayed because of that. The people who used to carry me on the camel,
came to my Howdah and put it on the back of the camel, thinking that I
was in it, as, at that time, women were light in weight, and thin and
lean, and did not use to eat much. So, those people did not feel the
difference in the heaviness of the Howdah while lifting it, and they put
it over the camel. At that time I was a young lady. They set the camel
moving and proceeded on. I found my necklace after the army had gone,
and came to their camp to find nobody. So, I went to the place where I
used to stay, thinking that they would discover my absence and come back
in my search. While in that state, I felt sleepy and slept. Safwan bin
Mu'attal As-Sulami Adh-Dhakwani was behind the army and reached my abode
in the morning. When he saw a sleeping person, he came to me, and he
used to see me before veiling. So, I got up when I heard him saying,
"Inna lil-lah-wa inn a ilaihi rajiun (We are for Allah, and we will
return to Him)." He made his camel knell down. He got down from his
camel, and put his leg on the front legs of the camel and then I rode
and sat over it. Safwan set out walking, leading the camel by the rope
till we reached the army who had halted to take rest at midday. Then
whoever was meant for destruction, fell into destruction, (some people
accused me falsely) and the leader of the false accusers was 'Abdullah
bin Ubai bin Salul. After that we returned to Medina, and I became ill
for one month while the people were spreading the forged statements of
the false accusers. I was feeling during my ailment as if I were not
receiving the usual kindness from the Prophet which I used to receive
from him when I got sick. But he would come, greet and say, 'How is that
(girl)?' I did not know anything of what was going on till I recovered
from my ailment and went out with Um Mistah to the Manasi where we used
to answer the call of nature, and we used not to go to answer the call
of nature except from night to night and that was before we had
lavatories near to our houses. And this habit of ours was similar to the
habit of the old 'Arabs in the open country (or away from houses). So. I
and Um Mistah bint Ruhm went out walking. Um Mistah stumbled because of
her long dress and on that she said, 'Let Mistah be ruined.' I said,
'You are saying a bad word. Why are you abusing a man who took part in
(the battle of) Badr?' She said, 'O Hanata (you there) didn't you hear
what they said?' Then she told me the rumors of the false accusers. My
sickness was aggravated, and when I returned home, Allah's Apostle came
to me, and after greeting he said, 'How is that (girl)?' I requested him
to allow me to go to my parents. I wanted then to be sure of the news
through them I Allah's Apostle allowed me, and I went to my parents and
asked my mother, 'What are the people talking about?' She said, 'O my
daughter! Don't worry much about this matter. By Allah, never is there a
charming woman loved by her husband who has other wives, but the women
would forge false news about her.' I said, 'Glorified be Allah! Are the
people really taking of this matter?' That night I kept on weeping and
could not sleep till morning. In the morning Allah's Apostle called Ali
bin Abu Talib and Usama bin Zaid when he saw the Divine Inspiration
delayed, to consul them about divorcing his wife (i.e. 'Aisha). Usama
bin Zaid said what he knew of the good reputation of his wives and
added, 'O Allah's Apostle! Keep you wife, for, by Allah, we know nothing
about her but good.' 'Ali bin Abu Talib said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Allah
has no imposed restrictions on you, and there are many women other than
she, yet you may ask the woman-servant who will tell you the truth.' On
that Allah's Apostle called Buraira and said, 'O Burair. Did you ever
see anything which roused your suspicions about her?' Buraira said, 'No,
by Allah Who has sent you with the Truth, I have never seen in her
anything faulty except that she is a girl of immature age, who sometimes
sleeps and leaves the dough for the goats to eat.' On that day Allah's
Apostle ascended the pulpit and requested that somebody support him in
punishing 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul. Allah's Apostle said, 'Who will
support me to punish that person ('Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul) who has
hurt me by slandering the reputation of my family? By Allah, I know
nothing about my family but good, and they have accused a person about
whom I know nothing except good, and he never entered my house except in
my company.' Sad bin Mu'adh got up and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! by
Allah, I will relieve you from him. If that man is from the tribe of the
Aus, then we will chop his head off, and if he is from our brothers,
the Khazraj, then order us, and we will fulfill your order.' On that Sad
bin 'Ubada, the chief of the Khazraj and before this incident, he had
been a pious man, got up, motivated by his zeal for his tribe and said,
'By Allah, you have told a lie; you cannot kill him, and you will never be able to kill him.' On that Usaid bin Al-Hadir got up and said (to Sad bin 'Ubada), 'By Allah! you are a liar. By Allah, we will kill
him; and you are a hypocrite, defending the hypocrites.' On this the
two tribes of Aus and Khazraj got excited and were about to fight each
other, while Allah's Apostle was standing on the pulpit. He got down and
quietened them till they became silent and he kept quiet. On that day I
kept on weeping so much so that neither did my tears stop, nor could I
sleep. In the morning my parents were with me and I had wept for two
nights and a day, till I thought my liver would burst from weeping.
While they were sitting with me and I was weeping, an Ansari woman asked
my permission to enter, and I allowed her to come in. She sat down and
started weeping with me. While we were in this state, Allah's Apostle
came and sat down and he had never sat with me since the day they forged
the accusation. No revelation regarding my case came to him for a
month. He recited Tashah-hud (i.e. None has the right to be worshipped
but Allah and Muhammad is His Apostle) and then said, 'O 'Aisha! I have
been informed such-and-such about you; if you are innocent, then Allah
will soon reveal your innocence, and if you have committed a sin, then
repent to Allah and ask Him to forgive you, for when a person confesses
his sin and asks Allah for forgiveness, Allah accepts his repentance.'
When Allah's Apostle finished his speech my tears ceased completely and
there remained not even a single drop of it. I requested my father to
reply to Allah's Apostle on my behalf. My father said, By Allah, I do
not know what to say to Allah's Apostle.' I said to my mother, 'Talk to
Allah's Apostle on my behalf.' She said, 'By Allah, I do not know what
to say to Allah's Apostle. I was a young girl and did not have much
knowledge of the Quran. I said. 'I know, by Allah, that you have
listened to what people are saying and that has been planted in your
minds and you have taken it as a truth. Now, if I told you that I am
innocent and Allah knows that I am innocent, you would not believe me
and if I confessed to you falsely that I am guilty, and Allah knows that
I am innocent you would believe me. By Allah, I don't compare my
situation with you except to the situation of Joseph's father (i.e.
Jacob) who said, 'So (for me) patience is most fitting against that
which you assert and it is Allah (Alone) whose help can be sought.' Then
I turned to the other side of my bed hoping that Allah would prove my
innocence. By Allah I never thought that Allah would reveal Divine
Inspiration in my case, as I considered myself too inferior to be talked
of in the Holy Qur'an. I had hoped that Allah's Apostle might have a
dream in which Allah would prove my innocence. By Allah, Allah's Apostle
had not got up and nobody had left the house before the Divine
Inspiration came to Allah's Apostle. So, there overtook him the same
state which used to overtake him, (when he used to have, on being
inspired divinely). He was sweating so much so that the drops of the
sweat were dropping like pearls though it was a (cold) wintry day. When
that state of Allah's Apostle was over, he was smiling and the first
word he said, 'Aisha! Thank Allah, for Allah has declared your
innocence.' My mother told me to go to Allah's Apostle . I replied, 'By
Allah I will not go to him and will not thank but Allah.' So Allah
revealed: "Verily! They who spread the slander are a gang among you . .
." (24.11) When Allah gave the declaration of my Innocence, Abu Bakr,
who used to provide for Mistah bin Uthatha for he was his relative,
said, 'By Allah, I will never provide Mistah with anything because of
what he said about Aisha.' But Allah later revealed: -- "And let not
those who are good and wealthy among you swear not to help their
kinsmen, those in need and those who left their homes in Allah's Cause.
Let them forgive and overlook. Do you not wish that Allah should forgive
you? Verily! Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful." (24.22) After that
Abu Bakr said, 'Yes ! By Allah! I like that Allah should forgive me,'
and resumed helping Mistah whom he used to help before. Allah's Apostle
also asked Zainab bint Jahsh (i.e. the Prophet's wife about me saying,
'What do you know and what did you see?' She replied, 'O Allah's
Apostle! I refrain to claim hearing or seeing what I have not heard or
seen. By Allah, I know nothing except goodness about Aisha." Aisha
further added "Zainab was competing with me (in her beauty and the
Prophet's love), yet Allah protected her (from being malicious), for she
had piety."

Al-Hasan Al-Basri: By Allah, Al-Hasan bin Ali led large battalions like
mountains against Muawiya. Amr bin Al-As said (to Muawiya), "I surely
see battalions which will not turn back before killing their opponents." Muawiya who was really the best of the two men said to him, "O 'Amr! If these killed those and those killed
these, who would be left with me for the jobs of the public, who would
be left with me for their women, who would be left with me for their
children?" Then Muawiya sent two Quraishi men from the tribe of
'Abd-i-Shams called 'Abdur Rahman bin Sumura and Abdullah bin 'Amir bin
Kuraiz to Al-Hasan saying to them, "Go to this man (i.e. Al-Hasan) and
negotiate peace with him and talk and appeal to him." So, they went to
Al-Hasan and talked and appealed to him to accept peace. Al-Hasan said,
"We, the offspring of 'Abdul Muttalib, have got wealth and people have
indulged in killing and corruption
(and money only will appease them)." They said to Al-Hasan, "Muawiya
offers you so and so, and appeals to you and entreats you to accept
peace." Al-Hasan said to them, "But who will be responsible for what you
have said?" They said, "We will be responsible for it." So, what-ever
Al-Hasan asked they said, "We will be responsible for it for you." So,
Al-Hasan concluded a peace treaty with Muawiya. Al-Hasan (Al-Basri)
said: I heard Abu Bakr saying, "I saw Allah's Apostle on the pulpit and
Al-Hasan bin 'Ali was by his side. The Prophet was looking once at the
people and once at Al-Hasan bin 'Ali saying, 'This son of mine is a
Saiyid (i.e. a noble) and may Allah make peace between two big groups of
Muslims through him."

Ubai bin Kab: Allah's Apostle said, "Moses the Apostle of Allah," and
then he narrated the whole story about him. Al-Khadir said to Moses,
"Did not I tell you that you can have no patience with me." (18.72).
Moses then violated the agreement for the first time because of
forgetfulness, then Moses promised that if he asked Al-Khadir about
anything, the latter would have the right to desert him. Moses abided by
that condition and on the third occasion he intentionally asked
Al-Khadir and caused that condition to be applied. The three occasions
referred to above are referred to by the following Verses: "Call me not
to account for forgetting And be not hard upon me." (18.73) "Then they
met a boy and Khadir killed him."
(18.74) "Then they proceeded and found a wall which was on the verge of
falling and Khadir set it up straight." (18.77)

Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and Marwan: (whose narrations attest each other)
Allah's Apostle set out at the time of Al-Hudaibiya (treaty), and when
they proceeded for a distance, he said, "Khalid bin Al-Walid leading the
cavalry of Quraish constituting the front of the army, is at a place
called Al-Ghamim, so take the way on the right." By Allah, Khalid did
not perceive the arrival of the Muslims till the dust arising from the
march of the Muslim army reached him, and then he turned back hurriedly
to inform Quraish. The Prophet went on advancing till he reached the
Thaniyya (i.e. a mountainous way) through which one would go to them
(i.e. people of Quraish). The she-camel of the Prophet sat down. The
people tried their best to cause the she-camel to get up but in vain, so
they said, "Al-Qaswa' (i.e. the she-camel's name) has become stubborn!
Al-Qaswa' has become stubborn!" The Prophet said, "Al-Qaswa' has not
become stubborn, for stubbornness is not her habit, but she was stopped
by Him Who stopped the elephant." Then he said, "By the Name of Him in
Whose Hands my soul is, if they (i.e. the Quraish infidels) ask me
anything which will respect the ordinances of Allah, I will grant it to
them." The Prophet then rebuked the she-camel and she got up. The
Prophet changed his way till he dismounted at the farthest end of
Al-Hudaibiya at a pit (i.e. well) containing a little water which the
people used in small amounts, and in a short while the people used up
all its water and complained to Allah's Apostle; of thirst. The Prophet
took an arrow out of his arrow-case and ordered them to put the arrow in
that pit. By Allah, the water started and continued sprouting out till
all the people quenched their thirst and returned with satisfaction.
While they were still in that state, Budail bin Warqa-al-Khuza'i came
with some persons from his tribe Khuza'a and they were the advisers of
Allah's Apostle who would keep no secret from him and were from the
people of Tihama. Budail said, "I left Kab bin Luai and 'Amir bin Luai
residing at the profuse water of Al-Hudaibiya and they had milch camels
(or their women and children) with them, and will wage war against you,
and will prevent you from visiting the Kaba." Allah's Apostle said, "We
have not come to fight anyone, but to perform the 'Umra. No doubt, the
war has weakened Quraish and they have suffered great losses, so if they
wish, I will conclude a truce with them, during which they should
refrain from interfering between me and the people (i.e. the 'Arab
infidels other than Quraish), and if I have victory over those infidels,
Quraish will have the option to embrace Islam as the other people do,
if they wish; they will at least get strong enough to fight. But if they
do not accept the truce, by Allah in Whose Hands my life is, I will
fight with them defending my Cause till I get killed,
but (I am sure) Allah will definitely make His Cause victorious."
Budail said, "I will inform them of what you have said." So, he set off
till he reached Quraish and said, "We have come from that man (i.e.
Muhammad) whom we heard saying something which we will disclose to you
if you should like." Some of the fools among Quraish shouted that they
were not in need of this information, but the wiser among them said,
"Relate what you heard him saying." Budail said, "I heard him saying
so-and-so," relating what the Prophet had told him. Urwa bin Mas'ud got
up and said, "O people! Aren't you the sons? They said, "Yes." He added,
"Am I not the father?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Do you mistrust me?"
They said, "No." He said, "Don't you know that I invited the people of
'Ukaz for your help, and when they refused I brought my relatives and
children and those who obeyed me (to help you)?" They said, "Yes." He
said, "Well, this man (i.e. the Prophet) has offered you a reasonable
proposal, you'd better accept it and allow me to meet him." They said,
"You may meet him." So, he went to the Prophet and started talking to
him. The Prophet told him almost the same as he had told Budail. Then
Urwa said, "O Muhammad! Won't you feel any scruple in extirpating your
relations? Have you ever heard of anyone amongst the Arabs extirpating
his relatives before you? On the other hand, if the reverse should
happen, (nobody will aid you, for) by Allah, I do not see (with you)
dignified people, but people from various tribes who would run away
leaving you alone." Hearing that, Abu Bakr abused him and said, "Do you
say we would run and leave the Prophet alone?" Urwa said, "Who is that
man?" They said, "He is Abu Bakr." Urwa said to Abu Bakr, "By Him in
Whose Hands my life is, were it not for the favor which you did to me
and which I did not compensate, I would retort on you." Urwa kept on
talking to the Prophet and seizing the Prophet's beard as he was talking
while Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba was standing near the head of the Prophet,
holding a sword and wearing a helmet. Whenever Urwa stretched his hand
towards the beard of the Prophet, Al-Mughira would hit his hand with the
handle of the sword and say (to Urwa), "Remove your hand from the beard
of Allah's Apostle." Urwa raised his head and asked, "Who is that?" The
people said, "He is Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba." Urwa said, "O treacherous!
Am I not doing my best to prevent evil consequences of your treachery?"
Before embracing Islam Al-Mughira was in the company of some people. He killed
them and took their property and came (to Medina) to embrace Islam. The
Prophet said (to him, "As regards your Islam, I accept it, but as for
the property I do not take anything of it. (As it was taken through
treason). Urwa then started looking at the Companions of the Prophet. By
Allah, whenever Allah's Apostle spat, the spittle would fall in the
hand of one of them (i.e. the Prophet's companions) who would rub it on
his face and skin; if he ordered them they would carry his orders
immediately; if he performed ablution, they would struggle to take the
remaining water; and when they spoke to him, they would lower their
voices and would not look at his face constantly out of respect. Urwa
returned to his people and said, "O people! By Allah, I have been to the
kings and to Caesar, Khosrau and An-Najashi, yet I have never seen any
of them respected by his courtiers as much as Muhammad is respected by
his companions. By Allah, if he spat, the spittle would fall in the hand
of one of them (i.e. the Prophet's companions) who would rub it on his
face and skin; if he ordered them, they would carry out his order
immediately; if he performed ablution, they would struggle to take the
remaining water; and when they spoke, they would lower their voices and
would not look at his face constantly out of respect." Urwa added, "No
doubt, he has presented to you a good reasonable offer, so please accept
it." A man from the tribe of Bani Kinana said, "Allow me to go to him,"
and they allowed him, and when he approached the Prophet and his
companions, Allah's Ap le I said, "He is so-and-so who belongs to the
tribe that respects the Budn (i.e. camels of the sacrifice). So, bring
the Budn in front of him." So, the Budn were brought before him and the
people received him while they were reciting Talbiya. When he saw that
scene, he said, "Glorified be Allah! It is not fair to prevent these
people from visiting the Ka'ba." When he returned to his people, he
said, 'I saw the Budn garlanded (with colored knotted ropes) and marked
(with stabs on their backs). I do not think it is advisable to prevent
them from visiting the Ka'ba." Another person called Mikraz bin Hafs got
up and sought their permission to go to Muhammad, and they allowed him,
too. When he approached the Muslims, the Prophet said, "Here is Mikraz
and he is a vicious man." Mikraz started talking to the Prophet and as
he was talking, Suhail bin Amr came. When Suhail bin Amr came, the
Prophet said, "Now the matter has become easy." Suhail said to the
Prophet "Please conclude a peace treaty with us." So, the Prophet called
the clerk and said to him, "Write: By the Name of Allah, the most
Beneficent, the most Merciful." Suhail said, "As for 'Beneficent,' by
Allah, I do not know what it means. So write: By Your Name O Allah, as
you used to write previously." The Muslims said, "By Allah, we will not
write except: By the Name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most
Merciful." The Prophet said, "Write: By Your Name O Allah." Then he
dictated, "This is the peace treaty which Muhammad, Allah's Apostle has
concluded." Suhail said, "By Allah, if we knew that you are Allah's
Apostle we would not prevent you from visiting the Kaba, and would not
fight with you. So, write: "Muhammad bin Abdullah." The Prophet said,
"By Allah! I am Apostle of Allah even if you people do not believe me.
Write: Muhammad bin Abdullah." (Az-Zuhri said, "The Prophet accepted all
those things, as he had already said that he would accept everything
they would demand if it respects the ordinance of Allah, (i.e. by
letting him and his companions perform 'Umra.)" The Prophet said to
Suhail, "On the condition that you allow us to visit the House (i.e.
Ka'ba) so that we may perform Tawaf around it." Suhail said, "By Allah,
we will not (allow you this year) so as not to give chance to the 'Arabs
to say that we have yielded to you, but we will allow you next year."
So, the Prophet got that written. Then Suhail said, "We also stipulate
that you should return to us whoever comes to you from us, even if he
embraced your religion." The Muslims said, "Glorified be Allah! How will
such a person be returned to the pagans after he has become a Muslim?
While they were in this state Abu- Jandal bin Suhail bin 'Amr came from
the valley of Mecca staggering with his fetters and fell down amongst
the Muslims. Suhail said, "O Muhammad! This is the very first term with
which we make peace with you, i.e. you shall return Abu Jandal to me."
The Prophet said, "The peace treaty has not been written yet." Suhail
said, "I will never allow you to keep him." The Prophet said, "Yes, do."
He said, "I won't do.: Mikraz said, "We allow you (to keep him)." Abu
Jandal said, "O Muslims! Will I be returned to the pagans though I have
come as a Muslim? Don't you see how much I have suffered?" Abu Jandal
had been tortured severely for the Cause of Allah. Umar bin Al-Khattab
said, "I went to the Prophet and said, 'Aren't you truly the Apostle of
Allah?' The Prophet said, 'Yes, indeed.' I said, 'Isn't our Cause just
and the cause of the enemy unjust?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Then why
should we be humble in our religion?' He said, 'I am Allah's Apostle and
I do not disobey Him, and He will make me victorious.' I said, 'Didn't
you tell us that we would go to the Ka'ba and perform Tawaf around it?'
He said, 'Yes, but did I tell you that we would visit the Ka'ba this
year?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'So you will visit it and perform Tawaf
around it?' " Umar further said, "I went to Abu Bakr and said, 'O Abu
Bakr! Isn't he truly Allah's Prophet?' He replied, 'Yes.' I said, 'Then
why should we be humble in our religion?' He said, 'Indeed, he is
Allah's Apostle and he does not disobey his Lord, and He will make him
victorious. Adhere to him as, by Allah, he is on the right.' I said,
'Was he not telling us that we would go to the Kaba and perform Tawaf
around it?' He said, 'Yes, but did he tell you that you would go to the
Ka'ba this year?' I said, 'No.' He said, "You will go to Ka'ba and
perform Tawaf around it." (Az-Zuhri said, " 'Umar said, 'I performed
many good deeds as expiation for the improper questions I asked them.'
") When the writing of the peace treaty was concluded, Allah's Apostle
said to his companions, "Get up and' slaughter your sacrifices and get
your head shaved." By Allah none of them got up, and the Prophet
repeated his order thrice. When none of them got up, he left them and
went to Um Salama and told her of the people's attitudes towards him. Um
Salama said, "O the Prophet of Allah! Do you want your order to be
carried out? Go out and don't say a word to anybody till you have
slaughtered your sacrifice and call your barber to shave your head." So,
the Prophet went out and did not talk to anyone of them till he did
that, i.e. slaughtered the sacrifice and called his barber who shaved
his head. Seeing that, the companions of the Prophet got up, slaughtered
their sacrifices, and started shaving the heads of one another, and
there was so much rush that there was a danger of killing
each other. Then some believing women came (to the Prophet ); and Allah
revealed the following Divine Verses:-- "O you who believe, when the
believing women come to you as emigrants examine them . . ." (60.10)
Umar then divorced two wives of his who were infidels. Later on Muawiya
bin Abu Sufyan married one of them, and Safwan bin Umaya married the
other. When the Prophet returned to Medina, Abu Basir, a new Muslim
convert from Quraish came to him. The Infidels sent in his pursuit two
men who said (to the Prophet ), "Abide by the promise you gave us." So,
the Prophet handed him over to them. They took him out (of the City)
till they reached Dhul-Hulaifa where they dismounted to eat some dates
they had with them. Abu Basir said to one of them, "By Allah, O
so-and-so, I see you have a fine sword." The other drew it out (of the
scabbard) and said, "By Allah, it is very fine and I have tried it many
times." Abu Bair said, "Let me have a look at it." When the other gave
it to him, he hit him with it till he died, and his companion ran away
till he came to Medina and entered the Mosque running. When Allah's
Apostle saw him he said, "This man appears to have been frightened."
When he reached the Prophet he said, "My companion has been murdered and
I would have been murdered too." Abu Basir came and said, "O Allah's
Apostle, by Allah, Allah has made you fulfill your obligations by your
returning me to them (i.e. the Infidels), but Allah has saved me from
them." The Prophet said, "Woe to his mother! what excellent war kindler
he would be, should he only have supporters." When Abu Basir heard that
he understood that the Prophet would return him to them again, so he set
off till he reached the seashore. Abu Jandal bin Suhail got himself
released from them (i.e. infidels) and joined Abu Basir. So, whenever a
man from Quraish embraced Islam he would follow Abu Basir till they
formed a strong group. By Allah, whenever they heard about a caravan of
Quraish heading towards Sham, they stopped it and attacked and killed
them (i.e. infidels) and took their properties. The people of Quraish
sent a message to the Prophet requesting him for the Sake of Allah and
Kith and kin to send for (i.e. Abu Basir and his companions) promising
that whoever (amongst them) came to the Prophet would be secure. So the
Prophet sent for them (i.e. Abu Basir's companions) and Allah I revealed
the following Divine Verses: "And it is He Who Has withheld their hands
from you and your hands From them in the midst of Mecca, After He made
you the victorious over them. . . . the unbelievers had pride and
haughtiness, in their hearts . . . the pride and haughtiness of the time
of ignorance." (48.24-26) And their pride and haughtiness was that they
did not confess (write in the treaty) that he (i.e. Muhammad) was the
Prophet of Allah and refused to write: "In the Name of Allah, the most
Beneficent, the Most Merciful," and prevented the Mushriks from visiting
the Ka'ba. Narrated Az-Zuhri: Urwa said, "Aisha told me that Allah's
Apostle used to examine the women emigrants. We have been told also that
when Allah revealed the order that the Muslims should return to the
pagans what they had spent on their wives who emigrated (after embracing
Islam) and that the Mushriks should not. keep unbelieving women as
their wives, 'Umar divorced two of his wives, Qariba, the daughter of
Abu Urhaiya and the daughter of Jarwal Al-Khuza'i. Later on Mu'awlya
married Qariba and Abu Jahm married the other." When the pagans refused
to pay what the Muslims had spent on their wives, Allah revealed: "And
if any of your wives have gone from you to the unbelievers and you have
an accession (By the coming over of a woman from the other side) (Then
pay to those whose wives have gone) The equivalent of what they had
spent (On their Mahr)." (60.11) So, Allah ordered that the Muslim whose
wife, has gone, should be given, as a compensation of the Mahr he had
given to his wife, from the Mahr of the wives of the pagans who had
emigrated deserting their husbands. We do not know any of the women
emigrants who deserted Islam after embracing it. We have also been told
that Abu Basir bin Asid Ath-Thaqafi came to the Prophet as a Muslim
emigrant during the truce. Al-Akhnas bin Shariq wrote to the Prophet
requesting him to return Abu Basir.

who, on seeing the superiority of martyrdom, would like to come back to
the world and get killed again (in

fighting) in Allah's Cause in the afternoon or in the forenoon is
better than all the world and whatever is in it. A place in Paradise as
small as the bow or lash of one of you is better than all the world and
whatever is in it. And if a houri from Paradise appeared to the people
of the earth, she would fill the space between Heaven and the Earth with
light and pleasant scent and her head cover is better than the world

tribe of Bani Amir. When they reached there, my maternal uncle said to
them, "I will go ahead of you, and if they allow me to convey the
message of Allah's Apostle (it will be all right); otherwise you will
remain close to me." So he went ahead of them and the pagans granted him
security But while he was reporting the message of the Prophet , they
beckoned to one of their men who stabbed him to death. My maternal uncle
said, "Allah is Greater! By the Lord of the Kaba, I am successful."
After that they attached the rest of the party and killed
them all except a lame man who went up to the top of the mountain.
(Hammam, a sub-narrator said, "I think another man was saved along with

Qaduim (i.e. grazing place of sheep) blames me for killing a Muslim who was given superiority by Allah because of me, and Allah did not disgrace me at his hands (i.e. was not killed as an infidel)." (The sub-narrator said "I do not know whether the Prophet gave him a share or not.")

Abu Said Al-Khudri: Allah's Apostle ascended the pulpit and said,
"Nothing worries me as to what will happen to you after me, except the
temptation of worldly blessings which will be conferred on you." Then he
mentioned the worldly pleasures. He started with the one (i.e. the
blessings) and took up the other (i.e. the pleasures). A man got up
saying, "O Allah's Apostle! Can the good bring about evil?" The Prophet
remained silent and we thought that he was being inspired divinely, so
all the people kept silent with awe. Then the Prophet wiped the sweat
off his face and asked, "Where is the present questioner?" "Do you think
wealth is good?" he repeated thrice, adding, "No doubt, good produces
nothing but good. Indeed it is like what grows on the banks of a stream
which either kills or nearly kills
the grazing animals because of gluttony except the vegetation-eating
animal which eats till both its flanks are full (i.e. till it gets
satisfied) and then stands in the sun and defecates and urinates and
again starts grazing. This worldly property is sweet vegetation. How
excellent the wealth of the Muslim is, if it is collected through legal
means and is spent in Allah's Cause and on orphans, poor people and
travelers. But he who does not take it legally is like an eater who is
never satisfied and his wealth will be a witness against him on the Day
of Resurrection."

servants to serve me in my expedition to Khaibar." So, Abu Talha took me
letting me ride behind him while I was a boy nearing the age of
puberty. I used to serve Allah's Apostle when he stopped to rest. I
heard him saying repeatedly, "O Allah! I seek refuge with You from
distress and sorrow, from helplessness and laziness, from miserliness
and cowardice, from being heavily in debt and from being overcome by
men." Then we reached Khaibar; and when Allah enabled him to conquer the
Fort (of Khaibar), the beauty of Safiya bint Huyai bin Akhtab was
described to him. Her husband had been killed
while she was a bride. So Allah's Apostle selected her for himself and
took her along with him till we reached a place called Sad-AsSahba,'
where her menses were over and he took her for his wife. Haris (a kind
of dish) was served on a small leather sheet. Then Allah's Apostle told
me to call those who were around me. So, that was the marriage banquet
of Allah's Apostle and Safiya. Then we left for Medina. I saw Allah's
Apostle folding a cloak round the hump of the camel so as to make a wide
space for Safiya (to sit on behind him) He sat beside his camel letting
his knees for Safiya to put her feet on so as to mount the camel. Then,
we proceeded till we approached Medina; he looked at Uhud (mountain)
and said, "This is a mountain which loves us and is loved by us." Then
he looked at Medina and said, "O Allah! I make the area between its
(i.e. Medina's) two mountains a sanctuary as Abraham made Mecca a
sanctuary. O Allah! Bless them (i.e. the people of Medina) in their Mudd

when the pagans returned to their camp, somebody talked about a man
amongst the companions of Allah's Apostle who would follow and kill
with his sword any pagan going alone. He said, "Nobody did his job
(i.e. fighting) so properly today as that man." Allah's Apostle said,
"Indeed, he is amongst the people of the (Hell) Fire." A man amongst the
people said, "I shall accompany him (to watch what he does)" Thus he
accompanied him, and wherever he stood, he would stand with him, and
wherever he ran, he would run with him. Then the (brave) man got wounded
seriously and he decided to bring about his death quickly. He planted
the blade of the sword in the ground directing its sharp end towards his
chest between his two breasts. Then he leaned on the sword and killed
himself. The other man came to Allah's Apostle and said, "I testify
that you are Allah's Apostle." The Prophet asked, "What has happened?"
He replied, "(It is about) the man whom you had described as one of the
people of the (Hell) Fire. The people were greatly surprised at what you
said, and I said, 'I will find out his reality for you.' So, I came out
seeking him. He got severely wounded, and hastened to die by slanting
the blade of his sword in the ground directing its sharp end towards his
chest between his two breasts. Then he eased on his sword and killed
himself." when Allah's Apostle said, "A man may seem to the people as
if he were practising the deeds of the people of Paradise while in fact
he is from the people of the Hell) Fire, another may seem to the people
as if he were practicing the deeds of the people of Hell (Fire), while

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

ordered his companions not to answer him. Then he asked thrice, "Is the
son of Abu Quhafa present amongst 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 you have no Uzza." The

(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. I got
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 then said, "Hadn't I been
afraid that you would think that I was afraid (of being killed), I would have prolonged the prayer. O Allah, kill them all with no exception." (He then recited the poetic verse):-- "I being martyred 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 bless the 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 sentenced
to 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 companions of 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 him from their messenger and thus they could not cut off
anything from his flesh.

Abu Juhaifa: I asked Ali, "Do you have the knowledge of any Divine
Inspiration besides what is in Allah's Book?" 'Ali replied, "No, by Him
Who splits the grain of corn and creates the soul. I don't think we have
such knowledge, but we have the ability of understanding which Allah
may endow a person with, so that he may understand the Qur'an, and we
have what is written in this paper as well." I asked, "What is written
in this paper?" He replied, "(The regulations of) blood-money, the
freeing of captives, and the judgment that no Muslim should be killed for killing an infidel."

Abaya bin Rifaa: My grandfather, Rafi said, "We were in the company of
the Prophet at DhulHulaifa, and the people suffered from hunger. We got
some camels and sheep (as booty) and the Prophet was still behind the
people. They hurried and put the cooking pots on the fire. (When he
came) he ordered that the cooking pots should be upset and then he
distributed the booty (amongst the people) regarding ten sheep as equal
to one camel then a camel fled and the people chased it till they got
tired, as they had a few horses (for chasing it). So a man threw an
arrow at it and caused it to stop (with Allah's Permission). On that the
Prophet said, 'Some of these animals behave like wild beasts, so, if
any animal flee from you, deal with it in the same way." My grandfather
asked (the Prophet ), "We hope (or are afraid) that we may meet the
enemy tomorrow and we have no knives. Can we slaughter our animals with
canes?" Allah's Apostle replied, "If the instrument used for killing causes the animal to bleed profusely and if Allah's Name is mentioned on killing
it, then eat its meat (i.e. it is lawful) but won't use a tooth or a
nail and I am telling you the reason: A tooth is a bone (and
slaughtering with a bone is forbidden ), and a nail is the slaughtering
instrument of the Ethiopians."

'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 be killed 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 pay my 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 the sons 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 that time." (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 could not
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 the
debt which he owed was, that if somebody brought some money to deposit
with 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 had already 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 a piece 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'awiya asked, "At what price have you appraised Al-Ghaba?" He said,
"One hundred thousand for each share," Muawiya asked, "How many shares
have been 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 like to buy it
for one hundred and fifty thousand." 'Abdullah also sold his part 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 have money 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.

'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf: While I was standing in the row on the day (of
the battle) of Badr, I looked to my right and my left and saw two young
Ansari boys, and I wished I had been stronger than they. One of them
called my attention saying, "O Uncle! Do you know Abu Jahl?" I said,
"Yes, What do you want from him, O my nephew?" He said, "I have been
informed that he abuses Allah's Apostle. By Him in Whose Hands my life
is, if I should see him, then my body will not leave his body till
either of us meet his fate." I was astonished at that talk. Then the
other boy called my attention saying the same as the other had said.
After a while I saw Abu Jahl walking amongst the people. I said (to the
boys), "Look! This is the man you asked me about." So, both of them
attacked him with their swords and struck him to death and returned to
Allah'S Apostle to inform him of that. Allah's Apostle asked, "Which of
you has killed him?" Each of them said, "I Have killed
him." Allah's Apostle asked, "Have you cleaned your swords?" They said,
"No. " He then looked at their swords and said, "No doubt, you both
have killed him and the spoils of
the deceased will be given to Muadh bin Amr bin Al-Jamuh." The two boys
were Muadh bin 'Afra and Muadh bin Amr bin Al-Jamuh.

Abu Qatada: We set out in the company of Allah's Apostle on the day (of
the battle) of Hunain. When we faced the enemy, the Muslims retreated
and I saw a pagan throwing himself over a Muslim. I turned around and
came upon him from behind and hit him on the shoulder with the sword He
(i.e. the pagan) came towards me and seized me so violently that I felt
as if it were death itself, but death overtook him and he released me. I
followed 'Umar bin Al Khattab and asked (him), "What is wrong with the
people (fleeing)?" He replied, "This is the Will of Allah," After the
people returned, the Prophet sat and said, "Anyone who has killed
an enemy and has a proof of that, will posses his spoils." I got up and
said, "Who will be a witness for me?" and then sat down. The Prophet
again said, "Anyone who has killed
an enemy and has proof of that, will possess his spoils." I (again) got
up and said, "Who will be a witness for me?" and sat down. Then the
Prophet said the same for the third time. I again got up, and Allah's
Apostle said, "O Abu Qatada! What is your story?" Then I narrated the
whole story to him. A man (got up and) said, "O Allah's Apostle! He is
speaking the truth, and the spoils of the killed
man are with me. So please compensate him on my behalf." On that Abu
Bakr As-Siddiq said, "No, by Allah, he (i.e. Allah's Apostle ) will not
agree to give you the spoils gained by one of Allah's Lions who fights
on the behalf of Allah and His Apostle." The Prophet said, "Abu Bakr has
spoken the truth." So, Allah's Apostle gave the spoils to me. I sold
that armor (i.e. the spoils) and with its price I bought a garden at
Bani Salima, and this was my first property which I gained after my
conversion to Islam.

Jubair bin Haiya: '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 a head, two wings and two legs; If one of its wings got broken, it
would get up over its two legs, with one wing and the head; and if the
other wing 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 our Prophet 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 he would 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

eyes, prominent checks, a raised forehead, a thick beard and a shaven

Qur'an will not reach beyond their throats (i.e. they will recite like
parrots and will not understand it nor act on it), and they will

Said bin Jubair: I said to Ibn Abbas, "Nauf Al-Bukah claims that Moses,
the companion of Al-Khadir was not Moses (the prophet) of the children
of Israel, but some other Moses." Ibn 'Abbas said, "Allah's enemy (i.e.
Nauf) has told a lie. Ubai bin Ka'b told us that the Prophet said, 'Once
Moses stood up and addressed Bani Israel. He was asked who was the most
learned man amongst the people. He said, 'I.' Allah admonished him as
he did not attribute absolute knowledge to Him (Allah). So, Allah said
to him, 'Yes, at the junction of the two seas there is a Slave of Mine
who is more learned than you.' Moses said, 'O my Lord! How can I meet
him?' Allah said, 'Take a fish and put it in a large basket and you will
find him at the place where you will lose the fish.' Moses took a fish
and put it in a basket and proceeded along with his (servant) boy, Yusha
'bin Nun, till they reached the rock where they laid their heads (i.e.
lay down). Moses slept, and the fish, moving out of the basket, fell
into the sea. It took its way into the sea (straight) as in a tunnel.
Allah stopped the flow of water over the fish and it became like an arch
(the Prophet pointed out this arch with his hands). They travelled the
rest of the night, and the next day Moses said to his boy (servant),
'Give us our food, for indeed, we have suffered much fatigue in this
journey of ours.' Moses did not feel tired till he crossed that place
which Allah had ordered him to seek after. His boy (servant) said to
him, 'Do you know that when we were sitting near that rock, I forgot the
fish, and none but Satan caused me to forget to tell (you) about it,
and it took its course into the sea in an amazing way?.' So there was a
path for the fish and that astonished them. Moses said, 'That was what
we were seeking after.' So, both of them retraced their footsteps till
they reached the rock. There they saw a man Lying covered with a
garment. Moses greeted him and he replied saying, 'How do people greet
each other in your land?' Moses said, 'I am Moses.' The man asked,
'Moses of Bani Israel?' Moses said, 'Yes, I have come to you so that you
may teach me from those things which Allah has taught you.' He said, 'O
Moses! I have some of the Knowledge of Allah which Allah has taught me,
and which you do not know, while you have some of the Knowledge of
Allah which Allah has taught you and which I do not know.' Moses asked,
'May I follow you?' He said, 'But you will not be able to remain patient
with me for how can you be patient about things which you will not be
able to understand?' (Moses said, 'You will find me, if Allah so will,
truly patient, and I will not disobey you in aught.') So, both of them
set out walking along the sea-shore, a boat passed by them and they
asked the crew of the boat to take them on board. The crew recognized
Al-Khadir and so they took them on board without fare. When they were on
board the boat, a sparrow came and stood on the edge of the boat and
dipped its beak once or twice into the sea. Al-Khadir said to Moses, 'O
Moses! My knowledge and your knowledge have not decreased Allah's
Knowledge except as much as this sparrow has decreased the water of the
sea with its beak.' Then suddenly Al-Khadir took an adze and plucked a
plank, and Moses did not notice it till he had plucked a plank with the
adze. Moses said to him, 'What have you done? They took us on board
charging us nothing; yet you I have intentionally made a hole in their
boat so as to drown its passengers. Verily, you have done a dreadful
thing.' Al-Khadir replied, 'Did I not tell you that you would not be
able to remain patient with me?' Moses replied, 'Do not blame me for
what I have forgotten, and do not be hard upon me for my fault.' So the
first excuse of Moses was that he had forgotten. When they had left the
sea, they passed by a boy playing with other boys. Al-Khadir took hold
of the boys head and plucked it with his hand like this. (Sufyan, the
sub narrator pointed with his fingertips as if he was plucking some
fruit.) Moses said to him, "Have you killed an innocent person who has not killed
any person? You have really done a horrible thing." Al-Khadir said,
"Did I not tell you that you could not remain patient with me?' Moses
said "If I ask you about anything after this, don't accompany me. You
have received an excuse from me.' Then both of them went on till they
came to some people of a village, and they asked its inhabitant for wood
but they refused to entertain them as guests. Then they saw therein a
wall which was just going to collapse (and Al Khadir repaired it just by
touching it with his hands). (Sufyan, the sub-narrator, pointed with
his hands, illustrating how Al-Khadir passed his hands over the wall
upwards.) Moses said, "These are the people whom we have called on, but
they neither gave us food, nor entertained us as guests, yet you have
repaired their wall. If you had wished, you could have taken wages for
it." Al-Khadir said, "This is the parting between you and me, and I
shall tell you the explanation of those things on which you could not
remain patient." The Prophet added, "We wished that Moses could have
remained patient by virtue of which Allah might have told us more about
their story. (Sufyan the sub-narrator said that the Prophet said, "May
Allah bestow His Mercy on Moses! If he had remained patient, we would
have been told further about their case.")

Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is,
surely (Jesus,) the son of Mary will soon descend amongst you and will
judge mankind justly (as a Just Ruler); he will break the Cross and kill
the pigs and there will be no Jizya (i.e. taxation taken from non
Muslims). Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a
single prostration to Allah (in prayer) will be better than the whole
world and whatever is in it." Abu Huraira added "If you wish, you can
recite (this verse of the Holy Book): -- 'And there is none Of the
people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him
(i.e Jesus as an Apostle of Allah and a human being) Before his death.
And on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness Against them." (4.159)

Abu Said Al-Khudri: The Prophet said, "Amongst the men of Bani Israel
there was a man who had murdered ninety-nine persons. Then he set out
asking (whether his repentance could be accepted or not). He came upon a
monk and asked him if his repentance could be accepted. The monk
replied in the negative and so the man killed
him. He kept on asking till a man advised to go to such and such
village. (So he left for it) but death overtook him on the way. While
dying, he turned his chest towards that village (where he had hoped his
repentance would be accepted), and so the angels of mercy and the angels
of punishment quarrelled amongst themselves regarding him. Allah
ordered the village (towards which he was going) to come closer to him,
and ordered the village (whence he had come), to go far away, and then
He ordered the angels to measure the distances between his body and the
two villages. So he was found to be one span closer to the village (he
was going to). So he was forgiven."

Jabir: We were in the company of the Prophet in a Ghazwa. A large
number of emigrants joined him and among the emigrants there was a
person who used to play jokes (or play with spears); so he (jokingly)
stroked an Ansari man on the hip. The Ans-ari got so angry that both of
them called their people. The Ansari said, "Help, O Ansar!" And the
emigrant said "Help, O emigrants!" The Prophet came out and said, "What
is wrong with the people (as they are calling) this call of the period
of Ignorance? "Then he said, "What is the matter with them?" So he was
told about the stroke of the emigrant to the Ansari. The Prophet said,
"Stop this (i.e. appeal for help) for it is an evil call. "Abdullah bin
Ubai bin Salul (a hypocrite) said, "The emigrants have called and
(gathered against us); so when we return to Medina, surely, the more
honorable people will expel therefrom the meaner," Upon that 'Umar said,
"O Allah's Prophet! Shall we not kill
this evil person (i.e. Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul) ?" The Prophet)
said, "(No), lest the people should say that Muhammad used to kill his companions."

Abu Jamra: Ibn 'Abbas said to us, "Shall I tell you the story of Abu
Dhar's conversion to Islam?" We said, "Yes." He said, "Abu Dhar said: I
was a man from the tribe of Ghifar. We heard that a man had appeared in
Mecca, claiming to be a Prophet. ! said to my brother, 'Go to that man
and talk to him and bring me his news.' He set out, met him and
returned. I asked him, 'What is the news with you?' He said, 'By Allah, I
saw a man enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil.' I said
to him, 'You have not satisfied me with this little information.' So, I
took a waterskin and a stick and proceeded towards Mecca. Neither did I
know him (i.e. the Prophet ), nor did I like to ask anyone about him. I
Kept on drinking Zam zam water and staying in the Mosque. Then 'Ali
passed by me and said, 'It seems you are a stranger?' I said, 'Yes.' He
proceeded to his house and I accompanied him. Neither did he ask me
anything, nor did I tell him anything. Next morning I went to the Mosque
to ask about the Prophet but no-one told me anything about him. Ali
passed by me again and asked, 'Hasn't the man recognized his dwelling
place yet' I said, 'No.' He said, 'Come along with me.' He asked me,
'What is your business? What has brought you to this town?' I said to
him, 'If you keep my secret, I will tell you.' He said, 'I will do,' I
said to him, 'We have heard that a person has appeared here, claiming to
be a Prophet. I sent my brother to speak to him and when he returned,
he did not bring a satisfactory report; so I thought of meeting him
personally.' 'Ali said (to Abu Dhar), 'You have reached your goal; I am
going to him just now, so follow me, and wherever I enter, enter after
me. If I should see someone who may cause you trouble, I will stand near
a wall pretending to mend my shoes (as a warning), and you should go
away then.' 'Ali proceeded and I accompanied him till he entered a
place, and I entered with him to the Prophet to whom I said, 'Present
(the principles of) Islam to me.' When he did, I embraced Islam
'immediately. He said to me, 'O Abu Dhar! Keep your conversion as a
secret and return to your town; and when you hear of our victory, return
to us. ' I said, 'By H him Who has sent you with the Truth, I will
announce my conversion to Islam publicly amongst them (i.e. the
infidels),' Abu Dhar went to the Mosque, where some people from Quraish
were present, and said, 'O folk of Quraish ! I testify that None has the
right to be worshipped except Allah, and I (also) testify that Muhammad
is Allah's Slave and His Apostle.' (Hearing that) the Quraishi men
said, 'Get at this Sabi (i.e. Muslim) !' They got up and beat me nearly
to death. Al 'Abbas saw me and threw himself over me to protect me. He
then faced them and said, 'Woe to you! You want to kill
a man from the tribe of Ghifar, although your trade and your
communications are through the territory of Ghifar?' They therefore left
me. The next morning I returned (to the Mosque) and said the same as I
have said on the previous day. They again said, 'Get at this Sabi!' I
was treated in the same way as on the previous day, and again Al-Abbas
found me and threw himself over me to protect me and told them the same
as he had said the day before.' So, that was the conversion of Abu Dhar
(may Allah be Merciful to him) to Islam."

'Abdullah bin Mas'ud: Sa'd bin Mu'adh came to Mecca with the intention
of performing 'Umra, and stayed at the house of Umaiya bin Khalaf Abi
Safwan, for Umaiya himself used to stay at Sa'd's house when he passed
by Medina on his way to Sham. Umaiya said to Sad, "Will you wait till
midday when the people are (at their homes), then you may go and perform
the Tawaf round the Ka'ba?" So, while Sad was going around the Ka'ba,
Abu Jahl came and asked, "Who is that who is performing Tawaf?" Sad
replied, "I am Sad." Abu Jahl said, "Are you circumambulating the Ka'ba
safely although you have given refuge to Muhammad and his companions?"
Sad said, "Yes," and they started quarreling. Umaiya said to Sad, "Don't
shout at Abi-l-Hakam (i.e. Abu Jahl), for he is chief of the valley (of
Mecca)." Sad then said (to Abu Jahl). 'By Allah, if you prevent me from
performing the Tawaf of the Ka'ba, I will spoil your trade with Sham."
Umaiya kept on saying to Sad, "Don't raise your voice." and kept on
taking hold of him. Sad became furious and said, (to Umaiya), "Be away
from me, for I have heard Muhammad saying that he will kill you." Umaiiya said, "Will he kill
me?" Sad said, "Yes,." Umaiya said, "By Allah! When Muhammad says a
thing, he never tells a lie." Umaiya went to his wife and said to her,
"Do you know what my brother from Yathrib (i.e. Medina) has said to me?"
She said, "What has he said?" He said, "He claims that he has heard
Muhammad claiming that he will kill
me." She said, By Allah! Muhammad never tells a lie." So when the
infidels started to proceed for Badr (Battle) and declared war (against
the Muslims), his wife said to him, "Don't you remember what your
brother from Yathrib told you?" Umaiya decided not to go but Abu Jahl
said to him, "You are from the nobles of the valley of Mecca), so you
should accompany us for a day or two." He went with them and thus Allah
got him killed.

'Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) Allah's Apostle died while Abu Bakr
was at a place called As-Sunah (Al-'Aliya) 'Umar stood up and said, "By
Allah! Allah's Apostle is not dead!" 'Umar (later on) said, "By Allah!
Nothing occurred to my mind except that." He said, "Verily! Allah will
resurrect him and he will cut the hands and legs of some men." Then Abu
Bakr came and uncovered the face of Allah's Apostle, kissed him and
said, "Let my mother and father be sacrificed for you, (O Allah's
Apostle), you are good in life and in death. By Allah in Whose Hands my
life is, Allah will never make you taste death twice." Then he went out
and said, "O oath-taker! Don't be hasty." When Abu Bakr spoke, 'Umar sat
down. Abu Bakr praised and glorified Allah and said, No doubt! Whoever
worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped
Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall never die." Then he recited Allah's
Statement.:-- "(O Muhammad) Verily you will die, and they also will
die." (39.30) He also recited:-- "Muhammad is no more than an Apostle;
and indeed many Apostles have passed away, before him, If he dies Or is killed,
will you then Turn back on your heels? And he who turns back On his
heels, not the least Harm will he do to Allah And Allah will give reward
to those Who are grateful." (3.144) The people wept loudly, and the
Ansar were assembled with Sad bin 'Ubada in the shed of Bani Saida. They
said (to the emigrants). "There should be one 'Amir from us and one
from you." Then Abu Bakr, Umar bin Al-Khattab and Abu 'baida bin
Al-Jarrah went to them. 'Umar wanted to speak but Abu Bakr stopped him.
'Umar later on used to say, "By Allah, I intended only to say something
that appealed to me and I was afraid that Abu Bakr would not speak so
well. Then Abu Bakr spoke and his speech was very eloquent. He said in
his statement, "We are the rulers and you (Ansars) are the ministers
(i.e. advisers)," Hubab bin Al-Mundhir said, "No, by Allah we won't
accept this. But there must be a ruler from us and a ruler from you."
Abu Bakr said, "No, we will be the rulers and you will be the ministers,
for they (i.e. Quarish) are the best family amongst the 'Arabs and of
best origin. So you should elect either 'Umar or Abu 'Ubaida bin
Al-Jarrah as your ruler." 'Umar said (to Abu Bakr), "No but we elect
you, for you are our chief and the best amongst us and the most beloved
of all of us to Allah's Apostle." So 'Umar took Abu Bakr's hand and gave
the pledge of allegiance and the people too gave the pledge of
allegiance to Abu Bakr. Someone said, "You have killed Sad bin Ubada." 'Umar said, "Allah has killed
him." 'Aisha said (in another narration), ("When the Prophet was on his
death-bed) he looked up and said thrice, (Amongst) the Highest
Companion (See Qur'an 4.69)' Aisha said, Allah benefited the people by
their two speeches. 'Umar frightened the people some of whom were
hypocrites whom Allah caused to abandon Islam because of 'Umar's speech.
Then Abu Bakr led the people to True Guidance and acquainted them with
the right path they were to follow so that they went out reciting:--
"Muhammad is no more than an Apostle and indeed many Apostles have
passed away before him.." (3.144)

'Amr bin Maimun: I saw 'Umar bin Al-Khattab a few days before he was
stabbed in Medina. He was standing with Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman and
'Uthman bin Hunaif to whom he said, "What have you done? Do you think
that you have imposed more taxation on the land (of As-Swad i.e. 'Iraq)
than it can bear?" They replied, "We have imposed on it what it can bear
because of its great yield." 'Umar again said, "Check whether you have
imposed on the land what it can not bear." They said, "No, (we
haven't)." 'Umar added, "If Allah should keep me alive I will let the
widows of Iraq need no men to support them after me." But only four days
had elapsed when he was stabbed (to death ). The day he was stabbed, I
was standing and there was nobody between me and him (i.e. Umar) except
Abdullah bin 'Abbas. Whenever Umar passed between the two rows, he would
say, "Stand in straight lines." When he saw no defect (in the rows), he
would go forward and start the prayer with Takbir. He would recite
Surat Yusuf or An-Nahl or the like in the first Rak'a so that the people
may have the time to Join the prayer. As soon as he said Takbir, I
heard him saying, "The dog has killed
or eaten me," at the time he (i.e. the murderer) stabbed him. A
non-Arab infidel proceeded on carrying a double-edged knife and stabbing
all the persons he passed by on the right and left (till) he stabbed
thirteen persons out of whom seven died. When one of the Muslims saw
that, he threw a cloak on him. Realizing that he had been captured, the
non-Arab infidel killed himself,
'Umar held the hand of 'Abdur-Rahman bin Auf and let him lead the
prayer. Those who were standing by the side of 'Umar saw what I saw, but
the people who were in the other parts of the Mosque did not see
anything, but they lost the voice of 'Umar and they were saying, "Subhan
Allah! Subhan Allah! (i.e. Glorified be Allah)." Abdur-Rahman bin Auf
led the people a short prayer. When they finished the prayer, 'Umar
said, "O Ibn 'Abbas! Find out who attacked me." Ibn 'Abbas kept on
looking here and there for a short time and came to say. "The slave of
Al Mughira." On that 'Umar said, "The craftsman?" Ibn 'Abbas said,
"Yes." 'Umar said, "May Allah curse him. I did not treat him unjustly.
All the Praises are for Allah Who has not caused me to die at the hand
of a man who claims himself to be a Muslim. No doubt, you and your
father (Abbas) used to love to have more non-Arab infidels in Medina."
Al-Abbas had the greatest number of slaves. Ibn 'Abbas said to 'Umar.
"If you wish, we will do." He meant, "If you wish we will kill them." 'Umar said, "You are mistaken (for you can't kill
them) after they have spoken your language, prayed towards your Qibla,
and performed Hajj like yours." Then Umar was carried to his house, and
we went along with him, and the people were as if they had never
suffered a calamity before. Some said, "Do not worry (he will be Alright
soon)." Some said, "We are afraid (that he will die)." Then an infusion
of dates was brought to him and he drank it but it came out (of the
wound) of his belly. Then milk was brought to him and he drank it, and
it also came out of his belly. The people realized that he would die. We
went to him, and the people came, praising him. A young man came
saying, "O chief of the believers! Receive the glad tidings from Allah
to you due to your company with Allah's Apostle and your superiority in
Islam which you know. Then you became the ruler (i.e. Caliph) and you
ruled with justice and finally you have been martyred." 'Umar said, "I
wish that all these privileges will counterbalance (my shortcomings) so
that I will neither lose nor gain anything." When the young man turned
back to leave, his clothes seemed to be touching the ground. 'Umar said,
"Call the young man back to me." (When he came back) 'Umar said, "O son
of my brother! Lift your clothes, for this will keep your clothes clean
and save you from the Punishment of your Lord." 'Umar further said, "O
'Abdullah bin 'Umar! See how much I am in debt to others." When the debt
was checked, it amounted to approximately eighty-six thousand. 'Umar
said, "If the property of 'Umar's family covers the debt, then pay the
debt thereof; otherwise request it from Bani 'Adi bin Ka'b, and if that
too is not sufficient, ask for it from Quraish tribe, and do not ask for
it from any one else, and pay this debt on my behalf." 'Umar then said
(to 'Abdullah), "Go to 'Aisha (the mother of the believers) and say:
"Umar is paying his salutation to you. But don't say: 'The chief of the
believers,' because today I am not the chief of the believers. And say:
"Umar bin Al-Khattab asks the permission to be buried with his two
companions (i.e. the Prophet, and Abu Bakr)." Abdullah greeted 'Aisha
and asked for the permission for entering, and then entered to her and
found her sitting and weeping. He said to her, "'Umar bin Al-Khattab is
paying his salutations to you, and asks the permission to be buried with
his two companions." She said, "I had the idea of having this place for
myself, but today I prefer Umar to myself." When he returned it was
said (to 'Umar), "'Abdullah bin 'Umar has come." 'Umar said, "Make me
sit up." Somebody supported him against his body and 'Umar asked
('Abdullah), "What news do you have?" He said, "O chief of the
believers! It is as you wish. She has given the permission." 'Umar said,
"Praise be to Allah, there was nothing more important to me than this.
So when I die, take me, and greet 'Aisha and say: "Umar bin Al-Khattab
asks the permission (to be buried with the Prophet ), and if she gives
the permission, bury me there, and if she refuses, then take me to the
grave-yard of the Muslims." Then Hafsa (the mother of the believers)
came with many other women walking with her. When we saw her, we went
away. She went in (to 'Umar) and wept there for sometime. When the men
asked for permission to enter, she went into another place, and we heard
her weeping inside. The people said (to 'Umar), "O chief of the
believers! Appoint a successor." Umar said, "I do not find anyone more
suitable for the job than the following persons or group whom Allah's
Apostle had been pleased with before he died." Then 'Umar mentioned
'Ali, 'Uthman, AzZubair, Talha, Sad and 'Abdur-Rahman (bin Auf) and
said, "Abdullah bin 'Umar will be a witness to you, but he will have no
share in the rule. His being a witness will compensate him for not
sharing the right of ruling. If Sad becomes the ruler, it will be
alright: otherwise, whoever becomes the ruler should seek his help, as I
have not dismissed him because of disability or dishonesty." 'Umar
added, "I recommend that my successor takes care of the early emigrants;
to know their rights and protect their honor and sacred things. I also
recommend that he be kind to the Ansar who had lived in Medina before
the emigrants and Belief had entered their hearts before them. I
recommend that the (ruler) should accept the good of the righteous among
them and excuse their wrong-doers, and I recommend that he should do
good to all the people of the towns (Al-Ansar), as they are the
protectors of Islam and the source of wealth and the source of annoyance
to the enemy. I also recommend that nothing be taken from them except
from their surplus with their consent. I also recommend that he do good
to the 'Arab bedouin, as they are the origin of the 'Arabs and the
material of Islam. He should take from what is inferior, amongst their
properties and distribute that to the poor amongst them. I also
recommend him concerning Allah's and His Apostle's protectees (i.e.
Dhimmis) to fulfill their contracts and to fight for them and not to
overburden them with what is beyond their ability." So when 'Umar
expired, we carried him out and set out walking. 'Abdullah bin 'Umar
greeted ('Aisha) and said, "'Umar bin Al-Khattab asks for the
permission." 'Aisha said, "Bring him in." He was brought in and buried
beside his two companions. When he was buried, the group (recommended by
'Umar) held a meeting. Then 'Abdur-Rahman said, " Reduce the candidates
for rulership to three of you." Az-Zubair said, "I give up my right to
Ali." Talha said, "I give up my right to 'Uthman," Sad, 'I give up my
right to 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf." 'Abdur-Rahman then said (to 'Uthman
and 'Ali), "Now which of you is willing to give up his right of
candidacy to that he may choose the better of the (remaining) two,
bearing in mind that Allah and Islam will be his witnesses." So both the
sheiks (i.e. 'Uthman and 'Ali) kept silent. 'Abdur-Rahman said, "Will
you both leave this matter to me, and I take Allah as my Witness that I
will not choose but the better of you?" They said, "Yes." So
'Abdur-Rahman took the hand of one of them (i.e. 'Ali) and said, "You
are related to Allah's Apostle and one of the earliest Muslims as you
know well. So I ask you by Allah to promise that if I select you as a
ruler you will do justice, and if I select 'Uthman as a ruler you will
listen to him and obey him." Then he took the other (i.e. 'Uthman) aside
and said the same to him. When 'Abdur-Rahman secured (their agreement
to) this covenant, he said, "O 'Uthman! Raise your hand." So he (i.e.
'Abdur-Rahman) gave him (i.e. 'Uthman) the solemn pledge, and then 'Ali
gave him the pledge of allegiance and then all the (Medina) people gave
him the pledge of allegiance.

Hudhaifa looked and saw his father, and said loudly, "O Allah's slaves!
My father! My father!" By Allah, they did not stop till they killed
him (i.e. Hudaifa's father). Hudhaifa said, "May Allah forgive you!"
The sub-narrator said, "By Allah, because of what Hudhaifa said, he
remained in a good state till he met Allah (i.e. died)."

'Abdullah bin 'Umar: The Prophet met Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail in the
bottom of (the valley of) Baldah before any Divine Inspiration came to
the Prophet. A meal was presented to the Prophet but he refused to eat
from it. (Then it was presented to Zaid) who said, "I do not eat
anything which you slaughter in the name of your stone idols. I eat none
but those things on which Allah's Name has been mentioned at the time
of slaughtering." Zaid bin 'Amr used to criticize the way Quraish used
to slaughter their animals, and used to say, "Allah has created the
sheep and He has sent the water for it from the sky, and He has grown
the grass for it from the earth; yet you slaughter it in other than the
Name of Allah. He used to say so, for he rejected that practice and
considered it as something abominable. Narrated Ibn 'Umar: Zaid bin 'Amr
bin Nufail went to Sham, inquiring about a true religion to follow. He
met a Jewish religious scholar and asked him about their religion. He
said, "I intend to embrace your religion, so tell me some thing about
it." The Jew said, "You will not embrace our religion unless you receive
your share of Allah's Anger." Zaid said, "'I do not run except from
Allah's Anger, and I will never bear a bit of it if I have the power to
avoid it. Can you tell me of some other religion?" He said, "I do not
know any other religion except the Hanif." Zaid enquired, "What is
Hanif?" He said, "Hanif is the religion of (the prophet) Abraham who was
neither a Jew nor a Christian, and he used to worship None but Allah
(Alone)" Then Zaid went out and met a Christian religious scholar and
told him the same as before. The Christian said, "You will not embrace
our religion unless you get a share of Allah's Curse." Zaid replied, "I
do not run except from Allah's Curse, and I will never bear any of
Allah's Curse and His Anger if I have the power to avoid them. Will you
tell me of some other religion?" He replied, "I do not know any other
religion except Hanif." Zaid enquired, "What is Hanif?" He replied,
Hanif is the religion of (the prophet) Abraham who was neither a Jew nor
a Christian and he used to worship None but Allah (Alone)" When Zaid
heard their Statement about (the religion of) Abraham, he left that
place, and when he came out, he raised both his hands and said, "O
Allah! I make You my Witness that I am on the religion of Abraham."
Narrated Asma bint Abi Bakr: I saw Zaid bin Amr bin Nufail standing with
his back against the Ka'ba and saying, "O people of Quraish! By Allah,
none amongst you is on the religion of Abraham except me." He used to
preserve the lives of little girls: If somebody wanted to kill his daughter he would say to him, "Do not kill
her for I will feed her on your behalf." So he would take her, and when
she grew up nicely, he would say to her father, "Now if you want her, I
will give her to you, and if you wish, I will feed her on your behalf."

Ibn 'Abbas: The first event of Qasama in the pre-lslamic period of
ignorance was practiced by us (i.e. Banu Hashim). A man from Banu Hashim
was employed by a Quraishi man from another branch-family. The
(Hashimi) laborer set out with the Quraishi driving his camels. There
passed by him another man from Banu Hashim. The leather rope of the
latter's bag had broken so he said to the laborer, "Will you help me by
giving me a rope in order to tie the handle of my bag lest the camels
should run away from me?" The laborer gave him a rope and the latter
tied his bag with it. When the caravan halted, all the camels' legs were
tied with their fetters except one camel. The employer asked the
laborer, "Why, from among all the camels has this camel not been
fettered?" He replied, "There is no fetter for it." The Quraishi asked,
"Where is its fetter?" and hit the laborer with a stick that caused his
death (later on Just before his death) a man from Yemen passed by him.
The laborer asked (him), "Will you go for the pilgrimage?" He replied,
"I do not think I will attend it, but perhaps I will attend it." The
(Hashimi) laborer said, "Will you please convey a message for me once in
your life?" The other man said, "yes." The laborer wrote: 'When you
attend the pilgrimage, call the family of Quraish, and if they respond
to you, call the family of Banu Hashim, and if they respond to you, ask
about Abu Talib and tell him that so-and-so has killed
me for a fetter." Then the laborer expired. When the employer reached
(Mecca), Abu Talib visited him and asked, "What has happened to our
companion?" He said, "He became ill and I looked after him nicely (but
he died) and I buried him." Then Abu Talib said, "The deceased deserved
this from you." After some time, the messenger whom the laborer has
asked to convey the message, reached during the pilgrimage season. He
called, "O the family of Quraish!" The people replied, "This is
Quraish." Then he called, "O the family of Banu Hashim!" Again the
people replied, "This is Banu Hashim." He asked, "Who is Abu Talib?" The
people replied, "This is Abu Talib." He said, "'So-and-so has asked me
to convey a message to you that so-and-so has killed him for a fetter (of a camel)." Then Abu Talib went to the (Quraishi) killer
and said to him, "Choose one of three alternatives: (i) If you wish,
give us one-hundred camels because you have murdered our companion, (ii)
or if you wish, fifty of your men should take an oath that you have not
murdered our companion, and if you do not accept this, (iii) we will kill you in Qisas." The killer
went to his people and they said, "We will take an oath." Then a woman
from Banu Hashim who was married to one of them (i.e.the Quraishis) and
had given birth to a child from him, came to Abu Talib and said, "O Abu
Talib! I wish that my son from among the fifty men, should be excused
from this oath, and that he should not take the oath where the
oath-taking is carried on." Abu Talib excused him. Then another man from
them came (to Abu Talib) and said, "O Abu Talib! You want fifty persons
to take an oath instead of giving a hundred camels, and that means each
man has to give two camels (in case he does not take an oath). So there
are two camels I would like you to accept from me and excuse me from
taking an oath where the oaths are taken. Abu Talib accepted them from
him. Then 48 men came and took the oath. Ibn 'Abbas further said:) By
Him in Whose Hand my life is, before the end of that year, none of those
48 persons remained alive.

'Aisha: Allah caused the day of Buath to take place before Allah's
Apostle was sent (as an Apostle) so that when Allah's Apostle reached
Medina, those people had already divided (in different groups) and their
chiefs had been killed or wounded.
So Allah made that day precede Allah's Apostle so that they (i.e. the
Ansar) might embrace Islam. Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: To run along the valley
between two green pillars of Safa and Marwa (mountains) was not Sunna,
but the people in the pre-islamic period of ignorance used to run along
it, and used to say: "We do not cross this rain stream except running
strongly. "

back and cursed the one who had done the harm. The Prophet said, "O
Allah! Destroy the chiefs of Quraish, Abu Jahl bin Hisham, 'Utba bin
Rabi'al, Shaba bin Rabi'a, Umaiya bin Khalaf or Ubai bin Khalaf." (The
sub-narrator Shu'ba, is not sure of the last name.) I saw these people killed

a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell. (4.93) So I asked Ibn
'Abbas who said, "When the Verse that is in Sura-al-Furqan was

Allah has made sacred, and we have invoked other gods along with Allah,
and we have also committed fornication.' So Allah revealed:-- 'Except
those who repent, believe, and do good-- (25.70) So this Verse was
concerned with those people. As for the Verse in Surat-an-Nisa (4-93),
it means that if a man, after understanding Islam and its laws and
obligations, murders somebody, then his punishment is to dwell in the

'Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) I never remembered my parents
believing in any religion other than the true religion (i.e. Islam), and
(I don't remember) a single day passing without our being visited by
Allah's Apostle in the morning and in the evening. When the Muslims were
put to test (i.e. troubled by the pagans), Abu Bakr set out migrating
to the land of Ethiopia, and when he reached Bark-al-Ghimad, Ibn
Ad-Daghina, the chief of the tribe of Qara, met him and said, "O Abu
Bakr! Where are you going?" Abu Bakr replied, "My people have turned me
out (of my country), so I want to wander on the earth and worship my
Lord." Ibn Ad-Daghina said, "O Abu Bakr! A man like you should not leave
his home-land, nor should he be driven out, because you help the
destitute, earn their livings, and you keep good relations with your
Kith and kin, help the weak and poor, entertain guests generously, and
help the calamity-stricken persons. Therefore I am your protector. Go
back and worship your Lord in your town." So Abu Bakr returned and Ibn
Ad-Daghina accompanied him. In the evening Ibn Ad-Daghina visited the
nobles of Quraish and said to them. "A man like Abu Bakr should not
leave his homeland, nor should he be driven out. Do you (i.e. Quraish)
drive out a man who helps the destitute, earns their living, keeps good
relations with his Kith and kin, helps the weak and poor, entertains
guests generously and helps the calamity-stricken persons?" So the
people of Quraish could not refuse Ibn Ad-Daghina's protection, and they
said to Ibn Ad-Daghina, "Let Abu Bakr worship his Lord in his house. He
can pray and recite there whatever he likes, but he should not hurt us
with it, and should not do it publicly, because we are afraid that he
may affect our women and children." Ibn Ad-Daghina told Abu Bakr of all
that. Abu Bakr stayed in that state, worshipping his Lord in his house.
He did not pray publicly, nor did he recite Quran outside his house.
Then a thought occurred to Abu Bakr to build a mosque in front of his
house, and there he used to pray and recite the Quran. The women and
children of the pagans began to gather around him in great number. They
used to wonder at him and look at him. Abu Bakr was a man who used to
weep too much, and he could not help weeping on reciting the Quran. That
situation scared the nobles of the pagans of Quraish, so they sent for
Ibn Ad-Daghina. When he came to them, they said, "We accepted your
protection of Abu Bakr on condition that he should worship his Lord in
his house, but he has violated the conditions and he has built a mosque
in front of his house where he prays and recites the Quran publicly. We
are now afraid that he may affect our women and children unfavorably.
So, prevent him from that. If he likes to confine the worship of his
Lord to his house, he may do so, but if he insists on doing that openly,
ask him to release you from your obligation to protect him, for we
dislike to break our pact with you, but we deny Abu Bakr the right to
announce his act publicly." Ibn Ad-Daghina went to Abu- Bakr and said,
("O Abu Bakr!) You know well what contract I have made on your behalf;
now, you are either to abide by it, or else release me from my
obligation of protecting you, because I do not want the 'Arabs hear that
my people have dishonored a contract I have made on behalf of another
man." Abu Bakr replied, "I release you from your pact to protect me, and
am pleased with the protection from Allah." At that time the Prophet
was in Mecca, and he said to the Muslims, "In a dream I have been shown
your migration place, a land of date palm trees, between two mountains,
the two stony tracts." So, some people migrated to Medina, and most of
those people who had previously migrated to the land of Ethiopia,
returned to Medina. Abu Bakr also prepared to leave for Medina, but
Allah's Apostle said to him, "Wait for a while, because I hope that I
will be allowed to migrate also." Abu Bakr said, "Do you indeed expect
this? Let my father be sacrificed for you!" The Prophet said, "Yes." So
Abu Bakr did not migrate for the sake of Allah's Apostle in order to
accompany him. He fed two she-camels he possessed with the leaves of
As-Samur tree that fell on being struck by a stick for four months. One
day, while we were sitting in Abu Bakr's house at noon, someone said to
Abu Bakr, "This is Allah's Apostle with his head covered coming at a
time at which he never used to visit us before." Abu Bakr said, "May my
parents be sacrificed for him. By Allah, he has not come at this hour
except for a great necessity." So Allah's Apostle came and asked
permission to enter, and he was allowed to enter. When he entered, he
said to Abu Bakr. "Tell everyone who is present with you to go away."
Abu Bakr replied, "There are none but your family. May my father be
sacrificed for you, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said, "i have been
given permission to migrate." Abu Bakr said, "Shall I accompany you? May
my father be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Apostle!" Allah's Apostle
said, "Yes." Abu Bakr said, "O Allah's Apostle! May my father be
sacrificed for you, take one of these two she-camels of mine." Allah's
Apostle replied, "(I will accept it) with payment." So we prepared the
baggage quickly and put some journey food in a leather bag for them.
Asma, Abu Bakr's daughter, cut a piece from her waist belt and tied the
mouth of the leather bag with it, and for that reason she was named
Dhat-un-Nitaqain (i.e. the owner of two belts). Then Allah's Apostle and
Abu Bakr reached a cave on the mountain of Thaur and stayed there for
three nights. 'Abdullah bin Abi Bakr who was intelligent and a sagacious
youth, used to stay (with them) aver night. He used to leave them
before day break so that in the morning he would be with Quraish as if
he had spent the night in Mecca. He would keep in mind any plot made
against them, and when it became dark he would (go and) inform them of
it. 'Amir bin Fuhaira, the freed slave of Abu Bakr, used to bring the
milch sheep (of his master, Abu Bakr) to them a little while after
nightfall in order to rest the sheep there. So they always had fresh
milk at night, the milk of their sheep, and the milk which they warmed
by throwing heated stones in it. 'Amir bin Fuhaira would then call the
herd away when it was still dark (before daybreak). He did the same in
each of those three nights. Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr had hired a man
from the tribe of Bani Ad-Dail from the family of Bani Abd bin Adi as
an expert guide, and he was in alliance with the family of Al-'As bin
Wail As-Sahmi and he was on the religion of the infidels of Quraish. The
Prophet and Abu Bakr trusted him and gave him their two she-camels and
took his promise to bring their two she camels to the cave of the
mountain of Thaur in the morning after three nights later. And (when
they set out), 'Amir bin Fuhaira and the guide went along with them and
the guide led them along the sea-shore. The nephew of Suraqa bin Ju'sham
said that his father informed him that he heard Suraqa bin Ju'sham
saying, "The messengers of the heathens of Quraish came to us declaring
that they had assigned for the persons why would kill
or arrest Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr, a reward equal to their
bloodmoney. While I was sitting in one of the gatherings of my tribe.
Bani Mudlij, a man from them came to us and stood up while we were
sitting, and said, "O Suraqa! No doubt, I have just seen some people far
away on the seashore, and I think they are Muhammad and his
companions." Suraqa added, "I too realized that it must have been they.
But I said 'No, it is not they, but you have seen so-and-so, and
so-and-so whom we saw set out.' I stayed in the gathering for a while
and then got up and left for my home. and ordered my slave-girl to get
my horse which was behind a hillock, and keep it ready for me. Then I
took my spear and left by the back door of my house dragging the lower
end of the spear on the ground and keeping it low. Then I reached my
horse, mounted it and made it gallop. When I approached them (i.e.
Muhammad and Abu Bakr), my horse stumbled and I fell down from it, Then I
stood up, got hold of my quiver and took out the divining arrows and
drew lots as to whether I should harm them (i.e. the Prophet and Abu
Bakr) or not, and the lot which I disliked came out. But I remounted my
horse and let it gallop, giving no importance to the divining arrows.
When I heard the recitation of the Quran by Allah's Apostle who did not
look hither and thither while Abu Bakr was doing it often, suddenly the
forelegs of my horse sank into the ground up to the knees, and I fell
down from it. Then I rebuked it and it got up but could hardly take out
its forelegs from the ground, and when it stood up straight again, its
fore-legs caused dust to rise up in the sky like smoke. Then again I
drew lots with the divining arrows, and the lot which I disliked, came
out. So I called upon them to feel secure. They stopped, and I remounted
my horse and went to them. When I saw how I had been hampered from
harming them, it came to my mind that the cause of Allah's Apostle (i.e.
Islam) will become victorious. So I said to him, "Your people have
assigned a reward equal to the bloodmoney for your head." Then I told
them all the plans the people of Mecca had made concerning them. Then I
offered them some journey food and goods but they refused to take
anything and did not ask for anything, but the Prophet said, "Do not
tell others about us." Then I requested him to write for me a statement
of security and peace. He ordered 'Amr bin Fuhaira who wrote it for me
on a parchment, and then Allah's Apostle proceeded on his way. Narrated
'Urwa bin Az-Zubair: Allah's Apostle met Az-Zubair in a caravan of
Muslim merchants who were returning from Sham. Az-Zubair provided
Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr with white clothes to wear. When the
Muslims of Medina heard the news of the departure of Allah's Apostle
from Mecca (towards Medina), they started going to the Harra every
morning . They would wait for him till the heat of the noon forced them
to return. One day, after waiting for a long while, they returned home,
and when they went into their houses, a Jew climbed up the roof of one
of the forts of his people to look for some thing, and he saw Allah's
Apostle and his companions dressed in white clothes, emerging out of the
desert mirage. The Jew could not help shouting at the top of his voice,
"O you 'Arabs! Here is your great man whom you have been waiting for!"
So all the Muslims rushed to their arms and received Allah's Apostle on
the summit of Harra. The Prophet turned with them to the right and
alighted at the quarters of Bani 'Amr bin 'Auf, and this was on Monday
in the month of Rabi-ul-Awal. Abu Bakr stood up, receiving the people
while Allah's Apostle sat down and kept silent. Some of the Ansar who
came and had not seen Allah's Apostle before, began greeting Abu Bakr,
but when the sunshine fell on Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr came forward
and shaded him with his sheet only then the people came to know Allah's
Apostle. Allah's Apostle stayed with Bani 'Amr bin 'Auf for ten nights
and established the mosque (mosque of Quba) which was founded on piety.
Allah's Apostle prayed in it and then mounted his she-camel and
proceeded on, accompanied by the people till his she-camel knelt down at
(the place of) the Mosque of Allah's Apostle at Medina. Some Muslims
used to pray there in those days, and that place was a yard for drying
dates belonging to Suhail and Sahl, the orphan boys who were under the
guardianship of 'Asad bin Zurara. When his she-camel knelt down, Allah's
Apostle said, "This place, Allah willing, will be our abiding place."
Allah's Apostle then called the two boys and told them to suggest a
price for that yard so that he might take it as a mosque. The two boys
said, "No, but we will give it as a gift, O Allah's Apostle!" Allah's
Apostle then built a mosque there. The Prophet himself started carrying
unburnt bricks for its building and while doing so, he was saying "This
load is better than the load of Khaibar, for it is more pious in the
Sight of Allah and purer and better rewardable." He was also saying, "O
Allah! The actual reward is the reward in the Hereafter, so bestow Your
Mercy on the Ansar and the Emigrants." Thus the Prophet recited (by way
of proverb) the poem of some Muslim poet whose name is unknown to me.
(Ibn Shibab said, "In the Hadiths it does not occur that Allah's Apostle
recited a complete poetic verse other than this one.")

'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.

'Abdullah: The Prophet recited Surat-an-Najm and then prostrated
himself, and all who were with him prostrated too. But an old man took a
handful of dust and touched his forehead with it saying, "This is
sufficient for me." Later on I saw him killed
as an infidel. Narrated 'Urwa (the son of Az- Zubair): Az-Zubair had
three scars caused by the sword, one of which was over his shoulder and I
used to insert my fingers in it. He received two of those wounds on the
day of Badr and one on the day of Al-Yarmuk. When 'Abdullah bin Zubair
was killed, 'Abdul-Malik bin Marwan
said to me, "O 'Urwa, do you recognize the sword of Az-Zubair?" I said,
"Yes." He said, "What marks does it have?" I replied, "It has a dent in
its sharp edge which was caused in it on the day of Badr." 'Abdul- Malik
said, "You are right! (i.e. their swords) have dents because of
clashing with the regiments of the enemies Then 'Abdul-Malik returned
that sword to me (i.e. Urwa). (Hisham, 'Urwa's son said, "We estimated
the price of the sword as three-thousand (Dinars) and after that it was
taken by one of us (i.e. the inheritors) and I wish I could have had
it.")

attributed the following statement to the Prophet "The dead person is
punished in the grave because of the crying and lamentation Of his
family." On that, 'Aisha said, "But Allah's Apostle said, 'The dead
person is punished for his crimes and sins while his family cry over him
then." She added, "And this is similar to the statement of Allah's
Apostle when he stood by the (edge of the) well which contained the
corpses of the pagans killed at
Badr, 'They hear what I say.' She added, "But he said now they know very
well what I used to tell them was the truth." 'Aisha then recited: 'You
cannot make the dead hear.' (30.52) and 'You cannot make those who are
in their Graves, hear you.' (35.22) that is, when they had taken their
places in the (Hell) Fire.

'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).

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.

| (159) 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."

Abdullah bin Atik entered his house at night, while he was sleeping, and
killed him.

| (161) 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."
(Book #59, Hadith #371) |
| (162) 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."

place, and if you should see them conquering us, do not (come to) help

"The booty, the booty!" 'Abdullah bin Jubair said, "The Prophet had

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

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

of the believers (i.e. Musailamah) has been killed by a black slave."

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."

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.

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.

'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."

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.

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

'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).

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.

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."

'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."

'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."

Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and Marwan bin Al-Hakam: (one of them said more
than his friend): The Prophet set out in the company of more than
one-thousand of his companions in the year of Al-Hudaibiya, and when he
reached Dhul-Hulaifa, he garlanded his Hadi (i.e. sacrificing animal),
assumed the state of Ihram for 'Umra from that place and sent a spy of
his from Khuzi'a (tribe). The Prophet proceeded on till he reached (a
village called) Ghadir-al-Ashtat. There his spy came and said, "The
Quraish (infidels) have collected a great number of people against you,
and they have collected against you the Ethiopians, and they will fight
with you, and will stop you from entering the Ka'ba and prevent you."
The Prophet said, "O people! Give me your opinion. Do you recommend that
I should destroy the families and offspring of those who want to stop
us from the Ka'ba? If they should come to us (for peace) then Allah will
destroy a spy from the pagans, or otherwise we will leave them in a
miserable state." On that Abu Bakr said, "O Allah Apostle! You have come
with the intention of visiting this House (i.e. Ka'ba) and you do not
want to kill or fight anybody. So
proceed to it, and whoever should stop us from it, we will fight him."
On that the Prophet said, "Proceed on, in the Name of Allah !"

Anas: Some people of the tribe of 'Ukl and 'Uraina arrived at Medina to
meet the Prophet and embraced Islam and said, "O Allah's Prophet! We
are the owners of milch livestock (i.e. bedouins) and not farmers (i.e.
countrymen)." They found the climate of Medina unsuitable for them. So
Allah's Apostle ordered that they should be provided with some milch
camels and a shepherd and ordered them to go out of Medina and to drink
the camels' milk and urine (as medicine) So they set out and when they
reached Al-Harra, they reverted to Heathenism after embracing Islam, and
killed the shepherd of the Prophet
and drove away the camels. When this news reached the Prophet, he sent
some people in pursuit of them. (So they were caught and brought back to
the Prophet ). The Prophet gave his orders in their concern. So their
eyes were branded with pieces of iron and their hands and legs were cut
off and they were left away in Harra till they died in that state of
theirs. (See Hadith 234 Vol 1)

Anas: The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer near Khaibar when it was
still dark and then said, "Allahu-Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed, for
whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be
the morning for those who have been warned." Then the inhabitants of
Khaibar came out running on the roads. The Prophet had their warriors killed,
their offspring and woman taken as captives. Safiya was amongst the
captives, She first came in the share of Dahya Alkali but later on she
belonged to the Prophet . The Prophet made her manumission as her
'Mahr'.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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)."

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."

Abu Burda: Allah's Apostle sent Abu Musa and Muadh bin Jabal to Yemen.
He sent each of them to administer a province as Yemen consisted of two
provinces. The Prophet said (to them), "Facilitate things for the people
and do not make things difficult for them (Be kind and lenient (both of
you) with the people, and do not be hard on them) and give the people
good tidings and do not repulse them. So each of them went to carry on
his job. So when any one of them toured his province and happened to
come near (the border of the province of) his companion, he would visit
him and greet him. Once Mu'adh toured that part of his state which was
near (the border of the province of) his companion Abu Musa. Mu'adh came
riding his mule till he reached Abu Musa and saw him sitting, and the
people had gathered around him. Behold! There was a man tied with his
hands behind his neck. Mu'adh said to Abu Musa, "O 'Abdullah bin Qais!
What is this?" Abu Musa replied. "This man has reverted to Heathenism
after embracing Islam." Mu'adh said, "I will not dismount till he is killed." Abu Musa replied, "He has been brought for this purpose, so come down." Mu'adh said, "I will not dismount till he is killed." So Abu Musa ordered that he be killed, and he was killed.
Then Mu'adh dismounted and said, "O Abdullah (bin Qais)! How do you
recite the Qur'an ?" Abu Musa said, "I recite the Qur'an regularly at
intervals and piecemeal. How do you recite it O Mu'adh?" Mu'adh said, "I
sleep in the first part of the night and then get up after having slept
for the time devoted for my sleep and then recite as much as Allah has
written for me. So I seek Allah's Reward for both my sleep as well as my
prayer (at night)."

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."

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) .

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.

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

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

Musailima said to him, "If you wish, we would not interfere between you

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

them was Al-'Ansi who was killed by Fairuz in Yemen and the other was Musailima Al-Kadhdbab."

assemble and say, 'Let us ask somebody to intercede for us with our
Lord.' So they will go to Adam and say, 'You are the father of all the
people, and Allah created you with His Own Hands, and ordered the angels
to prostrate to you, and taught you the names of all things; so please
intercede for us with your Lord, so that He may relieve us from this
place of ours.' Adam will say, 'I am not fit for this (i.e. intercession
for you).' Then Adam will remember his sin and feel ashamed thereof. He
will say, 'Go to Noah, for he was the first Apostle, Allah sent to the
inhabitants of the earth.' They will go to him and Noah will say, 'I am
not fit for this undertaking.' He will remember his appeal to his Lord
to do what he had no knowledge of, then he will feel ashamed thereof and

they will go to him and he will say, 'I am not fit for this
undertaking.' and he will mention (his) killing a person who was not a killer,
and so he will feel ashamed thereof before his Lord, and he will say,
'Go to Jesus, Allah's Slave, His Apostle and Allah's Word and a Spirit
coming from Him. Jesus will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking, go
to Muhammad the Slave of Allah whose past and future sins were forgiven
by Allah.' So they will come to me and I will proceed till I will ask my
Lord's Permission and I will be given permission. When I see my Lord, I

your head. Ask, and your request will be granted; say, and your saying
will be listened to; intercede, and your intercession will be accepted.'
I will raise my head and praise Allah with a saying (i.e. invocation)
He will teach me, and then I will intercede. He will fix a limit for me
(to intercede for) whom I will admit into Paradise. Then I will come
back again to Allah, and when I see my Lord, the same thing will happen
to me. And then I will intercede and Allah will fix a limit for me to
intercede whom I will let into Paradise, then I will come back for the
third time; and then I will come back for the fourth time, and will say,
'None remains in Hell but those whom the Quran has imprisoned (in Hell)

Al-Bara: The Prophet prayed facing Bait-ulMaqdis (i.e. Jerusalem) for
sixteen or seventeen months but he wished that his Qibla would be the
Ka'ba (at Mecca). (So Allah Revealed (2.144) and he offered 'Asr
prayers(in his Mosque facing Ka'ba at Mecca) and some people prayed with
him. A man from among those who had prayed with him, went out and
passed by some people offering prayer in another mosque, and they were
in the state of bowing. He said, "I, (swearing by Allah,) testify that I

their faces to the Ka'ba while they were still bowing. Some men had died
before the Qibla was changed towards the Ka'ba. They had been killed

"O you who believe! The law of Al-Qisas (i.e. equality in punishment)

slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But if the relatives

'Umar and said, "The people are lost, and you are the son of 'Umar, and
the companion of the Prophet, so what forbids you from coming out?" He
said, "What forbids me is that Allah has prohibited the shedding of my
brother's blood." They both said, "Didn't Allah say, 'And fight then
until there is no more affliction?" He said "We fought until there was
no more affliction and the worship is for Allah (Alone while you want to
fight until there is affliction and until the worship become for other
than Allah." Narrated Nafi (through another group of sub-narrators): A
man came to Ibn 'Umar and said, "O Abu Abdur Rahman! What made you
perform Hajj in one year and Umra in another year and leave the Jihad
for Allah' Cause though you know how much Allah recommends it?" Ibn
'Umar replied, "O son of my brother! Islam is founded on five
principles, i.e. believe in Allah and His Apostle, the five compulsory
prayers, the fasting of the month of Ramadan, the payment of Zakat, and
the Hajj to the House (of Allah)." The man said, "O Abu Abdur Rahman!
Won't you listen to why Allah has mentioned in His Book: 'If two groups
of believers fight each other, then make peace between them, but if one
of then transgresses beyond bounds against the other, then you all fight
against the one that transgresses. (49.9) and:--"And fight them till
there is no more affliction (i.e. no more worshiping of others along
with Allah)." Ibn 'Umar said, "We did it, during the lifetime of Allah's
Apostle when Islam had only a few followers. A man would be put to
trial because of his religion; he would either be killed
or tortured. But when the Muslims increased, there was no more
afflictions or oppressions." The man said, "What is your opinion about
'Uthman and 'Ali?" Ibn 'Umar said, "As for 'Uthman, it seems that Allah
has forgiven him, but you people dislike that he should be forgiven. And
as for 'Ali, he is the cousin of Allah's Apostle and his son-in-law."
Then he pointed with his hand and said, "That is his house which you
see."

Usama bin Zaid: Allah's Apostle rode a donkey, equipped with a thick
cloth-covering made in Fadak and was riding behind him. He was going to
pay visit to Sad bin Ubada in Banu Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj; and this
incident happened before the battle of Badr. The Prophet passed by a
gathering in which 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present, and that
was before 'Abdullah bin Ubai embraced Islam. Behold in that gathering
there were people of different religions: there were Muslims, pagans,
idol-worshippers and Jews, and in that gathering 'Abdullah bin Rawaha
was also present. When a cloud of dust raised by the donkey reached that
gathering, 'Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his garment and
then said, "Do not cover us with dust." Then Allah's Apostle greeted
them and stopped and dismounted and invited them to Allah (i.e. to
embrace Islam) and recited to them the Holy Qur'an. On that, 'Abdullah
bin Ubai bin Saluil said, "O man ! There is nothing better than that
what you say. If it is the truth, then do not trouble us with it in our
gatherings. Return to your mount (or residence) and if somebody comes to
you, relate (your tales) to him." On that 'Abdullah bin Rawaha said,
"Yes, O Allah's Apostle! Bring it (i.e. what you want to say) to us in
our gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the
Jews started abusing one another till they were on the point of fighting
with one another. The Prophet kept on quietening them till they became
quiet, whereupon the Prophet rode his animal (mount) and proceeded till
he entered upon Sad bin Ubada. The Prophet said to Sad, "Did you not
hear what 'Abu Hub-b said?" He meant 'Abdullah bin Ubai. "He said
so-and-so." On that Sad bin Ubada said, "O Allah's Apostle! Excuse and
forgive him, for by Him Who revealed the Book to you, Allah brought the
Truth which was sent to you at the time when the people of this town
(i.e. Medina) had decided unanimously to crown him and tie a turban on
his head (electing him as chief). But when Allah opposed that (decision)
through the Truth which Allah gave to you, he (i.e. 'Abdullah bin Ubai)
was grieved with jealously. and that caused him to do what you have
seen." So Allah's Apostle excused him, for the Prophet and his
companions used to forgive the pagans and the people of Scripture as
Allah had ordered them, and they used to put up with their mischief with
patience. Allah said: "And you shall certainly hear much that will
grieve you from those who received the Scripture before you and from the
pagans........'(3.186) And Allah also said:--"Many of the people of the
Scripture wish if they could turn you away as disbelievers after you
have believed, from selfish envy.." (2.109) So the Prophet used to stick
to the principle of forgiveness for them as long as Allah ordered him
to do so till Allah permitted fighting them. So when Allah's Apostle
fought the battle of Badr and Allah killed
the nobles of Quraish infidels through him, Ibn Ubai bin Salul and the
pagans and idolaters who were with him, said, "This matter (i.e. Islam)
has appeared (i.e. became victorious)." So they gave the pledge of
allegiance (for embracing Islam) to Allah's Apostle and became Muslims.

took over his sheep. Thereupon Allah revealed in that concern, the above
Verse up to:-- "...seeking the perishable good of this life." (4.94)

Muhammad bin Abdur-Rahman Abu Al-Aswad: The people of Medina were
forced to prepare an army (to fight against the people of Sham during
the caliphate of 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair at Mecca), and I was enlisted
in it; Then I met 'Ikrima, the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas, and informed
him (about it), and he forbade me strongly to do so (i.e. to enlist in
that army), and then said, "Ibn 'Abbas informed me that some Muslim
people were with the pagans, increasing the number of the pagans against
Allah's Apostle. An arrow used to be shot which would hit one of them
(the Muslims in the company of the pagans) and kill him, or he would be struck and killed
(with a sword)." Then Allah revealed:-- "Verily! as for those whom the
angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (by staying
among the disbelievers)" (4.97) Abu Aswad added, "Except the weak ones
among men, women,..." (4.98)

Qilaba?" Abu Qilaba said, "I do not know that killing
a person is lawful in Islam except in three cases: a married person
committing illegal sexual intercourse, one who has murdered somebody
unlawfully, or one who wages war against Allah and His Apostle." 'Anbasa
said, "Anas narrated to us such-and-such." Abu Qilaba said, "Anas
narrated to me in this concern, saying, some people came to the Prophet
and they spoke to him saying, 'The climate of this land does not suit
us.' The Prophet said, 'These are camels belonging to us, and they are
to be taken out to the pasture. So take them out and drink of their milk
and urine.' So they took them and set out and drank of their urine and
milk, and having recovered, they attacked the shepherd, killed
him and drove away the camels.' Why should there be any delay in
punishing them as they murdered (a person) and waged war against Allah
and His Apostle and frightened Allah's Apostle ?" Anbasa said, "I
testify the uniqueness of Allah!" Abu Qilaba said, "Do you suspect me?"
'Anbasa said, "No, Anas narrated that (Hadith) to us." Then 'Anbasa

back) said, "This is somebody announcing that alcoholic beverages have
been prohibited." Abu Talha said to me, "Go and spill it (i.e. the
wine)," Then it (alcoholic drinks) was seen flowing through the streets
of Medina. At that time the wine was Al-Fadikh. The people said, "Some

or chain him; but when the Muslims increased (and Islam spread), there
was no persecution." When that man saw that Ibn 'Umar did not agree to
his proposal, he said, "What is your opinion regarding 'Ali and
'Uthman?" Ibn 'Umar said, "What is my opinion regarding Ali and 'Uthman?
As for 'Uthman, Allah forgave him and you disliked to forgive him, and

Zaid bin Thabit Al-Ansari: who was one of those who used to write the
Divine Revelation: Abu Bakr sent for me after the (heavy) casualties
among the warriors (of the battle) of Yamama (where a great number of
Qurra' were killed). 'Umar was
present with Abu Bakr who said, 'Umar has come to me and said, The
people have suffered heavy casualties on the day of (the battle of)
Yamama, and I am afraid that there will be more casualties among the
Qurra' (those who know the Qur'an by heart) at other battle-fields,
whereby a large part of the Qur'an may be lost, unless you collect it.
And I am of the opinion that you should collect the Qur'an." Abu Bakr
added, "I said to 'Umar, 'How can I do something which Allah's Apostle
has not done?' 'Umar said (to me), 'By Allah, it is (really) a good
thing.' So 'Umar kept on pressing, trying to persuade me to accept his
proposal, till Allah opened my bosom for it and I had the same opinion
as 'Umar." (Zaid bin Thabit added:) Umar was sitting with him (Abu Bakr)
and was not speaking. me). "You are a wise young man and we do not
suspect you (of telling lies or of forgetfulness): and you used to write
the Divine Inspiration for Allah's Apostle. Therefore, look for the
Qur'an and collect it (in one manuscript). " By Allah, if he (Abu Bakr)
had ordered me to shift one of the mountains (from its place) it would
not have been harder for me than what he had ordered me concerning the
collection of the Qur'an. I said to both of them, "How dare you do a
thing which the Prophet has not done?" Abu Bakr said, "By Allah, it is
(really) a good thing. So I kept on arguing with him about it till Allah
opened my bosom for that which He had opened the bosoms of Abu Bakr and
Umar. So I started locating Quranic material and collecting it from
parchments, scapula, leaf-stalks of date palms and from the memories of
men (who knew it by heart). I found with Khuzaima two Verses of
Surat-at-Tauba which I had not found with anybody else, (and they
were):-- "Verily there has come to you an Apostle (Muhammad) from
amongst yourselves. It grieves him that you should receive any injury or
difficulty He (Muhammad) is ardently anxious over you (to be rightly
guided)" (9.128) The manuscript on which the Quran was collected,
remained with Abu Bakr till Allah took him unto Him, and then with 'Umar
till Allah took him unto Him, and finally it remained with Hafsa,
Umar's daughter.

Abu Huraira: Some (cooked) meat was brought to Allah Apostle and the
meat of a forearm was presented to him as he used to like it. He ate a
morsel of it and said, "I will be the chief of all the people on the Day
of Resurrection. Do you know the reason for it? Allah will gather all
the human being of early generations as well as late generation on one
plain so that the announcer will be able to make them all-hear his voice
and the watcher will be able to see all of them. The sun will come so
close to the people that they will suffer such distress and trouble as
they will not be able to bear or stand. Then the people will say, 'Don't
you see to what state you have reached? Won't you look for someone who
can intercede for you with your Lord' Some people will say to some
others, 'Go to Adam.' So they will go to Adam and say to him. 'You are
the father of mankind; Allah created you with His Own Hand, and breathed
into you of His Spirit (meaning the spirit which he created for you);
and ordered the angels to prostrate before you; so (please) intercede
for us with your Lord. Don't you see in what state we are? Don't you see
what condition we have reached?' Adam will say, 'Today my Lord has
become angry as He has never become before, nor will ever become
thereafter. He forbade me (to eat of the fruit of) the tree, but I
disobeyed Him . Myself! Myself! Myself! (has more need for
intercession). Go to someone else; go to Noah.' So they will go to Noah
and say (to him), 'O Noah! You are the first (of Allah's Messengers) to
the people of the earth, and Allah has named you a thankful slave;
please intercede for us with your Lord. Don't you see in what state we
are?' He will say.' Today my Lord has become angry as He has never
become nor will ever become thereafter. I had (in the world) the right
to make one definitely accepted invocation, and I made it against my
nation. Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Abraham.' They
will go to Abraham and say, 'O Abraham! You are Allah's Apostle and His
Khalil from among the people of the earth; so please intercede for us
with your Lord. Don't you see in what state we are?' He will say to
them, 'My Lord has today become angry as He has never become before, nor
will ever become thereafter. I had told three lies (Abu Haiyan (the
sub-narrator) mentioned them in the Hadith) Myself! Myself! Myself! Go
to someone else; go to Moses.' The people will then go to Moses and say,
'O Moses! You art Allah's Apostle and Allah gave you superiority above
the others with this message and with His direct Talk to you; (please)
intercede for us with your Lord Don't you see in what state we are?'
Moses will say, 'My Lord has today become angry as He has never become
before, nor will become thereafter, I killed a person whom I had not been ordered to kill.
Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Jesus.' So they will
go to Jesus and say, 'O Jesus! You are Allah's Apostle and His Word
which He sent to Mary, and a superior soul created by Him, and you
talked to the people while still young in the cradle. Please intercede
for us with your Lord. Don't you see in what state we are?' Jesus will
say. 'My Lord has today become angry as He has never become before nor
will ever become thereafter. Jesus will not mention any sin, but will
say, 'Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Muhammad.' So
they will come to me and say, 'O Muhammad ! You are Allah's Apostle and
the last of the prophets, and Allah forgave your early and late sins.
(Please) intercede for us with your Lord. Don't you see in what state we
are?" The Prophet added, "Then I will go beneath Allah's Throne and
fall in prostration before my Lord. And then Allah will guide me to such
praises and glorification to Him as He has never guided anybody else
before me. Then it will be said, 'O Muhammad Raise your head. Ask, and
it will be granted. Intercede It (your intercession) will be accepted.'
So I will raise my head and Say, 'My followers, O my Lord! My followers,
O my Lord'. It will be said, 'O Muhammad! Let those of your followers
who have no accounts, enter through such a gate of the gates of Paradise
as lies on the right; and they will share the other gates with the
people." The Prophet further said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, the
distance between every two gate-posts of Paradise is like the distance
between Mecca and Busra (in Sham)."

Said bin Jubair: I said to Ibn 'Abbas, "Nauf Al-Bikali claims that
Moses, the companion of Al-Khadir was not the Moses of the children of
Israel" Ibn 'Abbas said, "The enemy of Allah (Nauf) told a lie."
Narrated Ubai bin Ka'b that he heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Moses got
up to deliver a speech before the children of Israel and he was asked,
Who is the most learned person among the people?' Moses replied, 'I (am
the most learned).' Allah admonished him for he did not ascribe
knowledge to Allah alone. So Allah revealed to him: 'At the junction of
the two seas there is a slave of Ours who is more learned than you.'
Moses asked, 'O my Lord, how can I meet him?' Allah said, 'Take a fish
and put it in a basket (and set out), and where you, will lose the fish,
you will find him.' So Moses (took a fish and put it in a basket and)
set out, along with his boy-servant Yusha' bin Nun, till they reached a
rock (on which) they both lay their heads and slept. The fish moved
vigorously in the basket and got out of it and fell into the sea and
there it took its way through the sea (straight) as in a tunnel).
(18.61) Allah stopped the current of water on both sides of the way
created by the fish, and so that way was like a tunnel. When Moses got
up, his companion forgot to tell him about the fish, and so they carried
on their journey during the rest of the day and the whole night. The
next morning Moses asked his boy-servant 'Bring us our early meal; no
doubt, we have suffered much fatigue in this journey of ours.' (18.62)
Moses did not get tired till he had passed the place which Allah had
ordered him to seek after. His boy-servant then said to him,' 'Do you
remember when we be-took ourselves to the rock I indeed forgot the fish,
none but Satan made me forget to remember it. It took its course into
the sea in a marvelous way.' (18.63) There was a tunnel for the fish and
for Moses and his boy-servant there was astonishment. Moses said, 'That
is what we have been seeking'. So they went back retracing their
footsteps. (18.64) They both returned, retracing their steps till they
reached the rock. Behold ! There they found a man covered with a
garment. Moses greeted him. Al-Khadir said astonishingly. 'Is there such
a greeting in your land?' Moses said, 'I am Moses.' He said, 'Are you
the Moses of the children of Israel?' Moses said, 'I have come to you so
that you may teach me of what you have been taught. Al-Khadir said,
'You will not be able to have patience with me. (18.66) O Moses! I have
some of Allah's knowledge which He has bestowed upon me but you do not
know it; and you too, have some of Allah's knowledge which He has
bestowed upon you, but I do not know it." Moses said, "Allah willing,
you will find me patient, and I will not disobey you in anything.'
(18.6) Al-Khadir said to him. 'If you then follow me, do not ask me
about anything until I myself speak to you concerning it.' (18.70),
After that both of them proceeded along the sea coast, till a boat
passed by and they requested the crew to let them go on board. The crew
recognized Al-Khadir and allowed them to get on board free of charge.
When they got on board suddenly Moses saw that Al-Khadir had pulled out
one of the planks of the boat with an adze. Moses said to him.' These
people gave us a free lift, yet you have scuttled their boat so as to
drown its people! Truly, you have done a dreadful thing.' (18.71)
Al-Khadir said, 'Didn't I say that you can have no patience with me ?'
(18.72) Moses said, 'Call me not to account for what I forgot and be not
hard upon me for my affair (with you.)" (18.73) Allah's Apostle said,
"The first excuse given by Moses, was that he had forgotten. Then a
sparrow came and sat over the edge of the boat and dipped its beak once
in the sea. Al-Khadir said to Moses, 'My knowledge and your knowledge,
compared to Allah's knowledge is like what this sparrow has taken out of
the sea.' Then they both got out of the boat, and while they were
walking on the sea shore, Al-Khadir saw a boy playing with other boys.
Al-Khadir got hold of the head of that boy and pulled it out with his
hands and killed him. Moses said, 'Have you killed an innocent soul who has killed
nobody! Truly, you have done an illegal thing.' (18.74) He said,
"Didn't I tell you that you can have no patience with me?' (18.75) (The
sub narrator said, the second blame was stronger than the first one.)
Moses said, 'If I ask you about anything after this, keep me not in your
company, you have received an excuse from me.' (18.76) Then they both
proceeded until they came to the inhabitants of a town. They asked them
food but they refused to entertain them. (In that town) they found there
a wall on the point of falling down. (18.77) Al-Khadir set it up
straight with his own hands. Moses said, 'These are people to whom we
came, but they neither fed us nor received us as guests. If you had
wished, you could surely have exacted some recompense for it. Al-Khadir
said, 'This is the parting between me and you ..that is the
interpretation of (those things) over which you were unable to hold
patience.' (18.78-82) Allah's Apostle said, "We wished that Moses could
have been more patient so that Allah might have described to us more
about their story."

Ibn Juraij: Ya'la bin Muslim and 'Amr bin Dinar and some others
narrated the narration of Said bin Jubair. Narrated Said: While we were
at the house of Ibn 'Abbas, Ibn 'Abbas said, "Ask me (any question)" I
said, "O Abu Abbas! May Allah let me be sacrificed for you ! There is a
man at Kufa who is a story-teller called Nauf; who claims that he
(Al-Khadir's companion) is not Moses of Bani Israel." As for 'Amr, he
said to me, "Ibn 'Abbas said, "(Nauf) the enemy of Allah told a lie."
But Ya'la said to me, "Ibn 'Abbas said, Ubai bin Ka'b said, Allah's
Apostle said, 'Once Moses, Allah's Apostle, preached to the people till
their eyes shed tears and their hearts became tender, whereupon he
finished his sermon. Then a man came to Moses and asked, 'O Allah's
Apostle! Is there anyone on the earth who is more learned than you?'
Moses replied, 'No.' So Allah admonished him (Moses), for he did not
ascribe all knowledge to Allah. It was said, (on behalf of Allah), 'Yes,
(there is a slave of ours who knows more than you ).' Moses said, 'O my
Lord! Where is he?' Allah said, 'At the junction of the two seas.'
Moses said, 'O my Lord ! Tell I me of a sign whereby I will recognize
the place.' " 'Amr said to me, Allah said, "That place will be where the
fish will leave you." Ya'la said to me, "Allah said (to Moses), 'Take a
dead fish (and your goal will be) the place where it will become
alive.' " So Moses took a fish and put it in a basket and said to his
boy-servant "I don't want to trouble you, except that you should inform
me as soon as this fish leaves you." He said (to Moses)." You have not
demanded too much." And that is as mentioned by Allah: 'And (remember)
when Moses said to his attendant .... ' (18.60) Yusha' bin Nun. (Said
did not state that). The Prophet said, "While the attendant was in the
shade of the rock at a wet place, the fish slipped out (alive) while
Moses was sleeping. His attend an said (to himself), "I will not wake
him, but when he woke up, he forgot to tell him The fish slipped out and
entered the sea. Allah stopped the flow of the sea. where the fish was,
so that its trace looked as if it was made on a rock. 'Amr forming a
hole with his two thumbs an index fingers, said to me, "Like this, as in
its trace was made on a rock." Moses said "We have suffered much
fatigue on this journey of ours." (This was not narrate by Said). Then
they returned back and found Al-Khadir. 'Uthman bin Abi Sulaiman said to
me, (they found him) on a green carpet in the middle of the sea.
Al-Khadir was covered with his garment with one end under his feet and
the other end under his head. When Moses greeted, he uncovered his face
and said astonishingly, 'Is there such a greeting in my land? Who are
you?' Moses said, 'I am Moses.' Al-Khadir said, 'Are you the Moses of
Bani Israel?' Moses said, 'Yes.' Al-Khadir said, "What do you want?'
Moses said, ' I came to you so that you may teach me of the truth which
you were taught.' Al-Khadir said, 'Is it not sufficient for you that the
Torah is in your hands and the Divine Inspiration comes to you, O
Moses? Verily, I have a knowledge that you ought not learn, and you have
a knowledge which I ought not learn.' At that time a bird took with its
beak (some water) from the sea: Al-Khadir then said, 'By Allah, my
knowledge and your knowledge besides Allah's Knowledge is like what this
bird has taken with its beak from the sea.' Until, when they went on
board the boat (18.71). They found a small boat which used to carry the
people from this sea-side to the other sea-side. The crew recognized
Al-Khadir and said, 'The pious slave of Allah.' (We said to Said "Was
that Khadir?" He said, "Yes.") The boat men said, 'We will not get him
on board with fare.' Al-Khadir scuttled the boat and then plugged the
hole with a piece o wood. Moses said, 'Have you scuttle it in order to
drown these people surely, you have done a dreadful thing. (18.71)
(Mujahid said. "Moses said so protestingly.") Al-Khadir said, didn't I
say that you can have no patience with me?' (18.72) The first inquiry of
Moses was done because of forget fullness, the second caused him to be
bound with a stipulation, and the third was done he intentionally. Moses
said, 'Call me not to account for what I forgot and be not hard upon me
for my affair (with you).' (18.73) (Then) they found a boy and
Al-Khadir killed him. Ya'la- said:
Said said 'They found boys playing and Al-Khadir got hold of a handsome
infidel boy laid him down and then slew him with knife. Moses said,
'Have you killed a innocent soul who has killed
nobody' (18.74) Then they proceeded and found a wall which was on the
point of falling down, and Al-Khadir set it up straight Said moved his
hand thus and said 'Al-Khadir raised his hand and the wall became
straight. Ya'la said, 'I think Said said, 'Al-Khadir touched the wall
with his hand and it became straight (Moses said to Al-Khadir), 'If you
had wished, you could have taken wages for it. Said said, 'Wages that we
might had eaten.' And there was a king in furor (ahead) of them"
(18.79) And there was in front of them. Ibn 'Abbas recited: 'In front of
them (was) a king.' It is said on the authority of somebody other than
Said that the king was Hudad bin Budad. They say that the boy was called
Haisur. 'A king who seized every ship by force. (18.79) So I wished
that if that boat passed by him, he would leave it because of its defect
and when they have passed they would repair it and get benefit from it.
Some people said that they closed that hole with a bottle, and some
said with tar. 'His parents were believers, and he (the boy) was a
non-believer and we(Khadir) feared lest he would oppress them by
obstinate rebellion and disbelief.' (18.80) (i.e. that their love for
him would urge them to follow him in his religion, 'so we (Khadir)
desired that their Lord should change him for them for one better in
righteousness and near to mercy' (18:81). This was in reply to Moses'
saying: Have you killed an innocent
soul.'? (18.74). 'Near to mercy" means they will be more merciful to him
than they were to the former whom Khadir had killed.
Other than Sa'id, said that they were compensated with a girl. Dawud
bin Abi 'Asim said on the authority of more than one that this next
child was a girl.

Said bin Jubair: I said to Ibn 'Abbas, "Nauf-al-Bakali " claims that
Moses of Bani Israel was not Moses, the companion of Al-Khadir." Ibn
'Abbas said, "Allah's enemy tells a lie! Ubai bin Ka'b narrated to us
that Allah's Apostle said, 'Moses got up to deliver a sermon before Bani
Israel and he was asked, 'Who is the most learned person among the
people?' Moses replied, 'I (am the most learned).' Allah then admonished
Moses for he did not ascribe all knowledge to Allah only (Then) came
the Divine Inspiration:-- 'Yes, one of Our slaves at the junction of the
two seas is more learned than you.' Moses said, 'O my Lord ! How can
meet him?' Allah said, 'Take a fish in a basket and wherever the fish is
lost, follow it (you will find him at that place). So Moses set out
along with his attendant Yusha' bin Nun, and they carried with them a
fish till they reached a rock and rested there. Moses put his head down
and slept. (Sufyan, a sub-narrator said that somebody other than 'Amr
said) 'At the rock there was a water spring called 'Al-Hayat' and none
came in touch with its water but became alive. So some of the water of
that spring fell over that fish, so it moved and slipped out of the
basket and entered the sea. When Moses woke up, he asked his attendant,
'Bring our early meal' (18.62). The narrator added: Moses did not suffer
from fatigue except after he had passed the place he had been ordered
to observe. His attendant Yusha bin Nun said to him, 'Do you remember
(what happened) when we betook ourselves to the rock? I did indeed
forget (about) the fish ...' (18.63) The narrator added: So they came
back, retracing their steps and then they found in the sea, the way of
the fish looking like a tunnel. So there was an astonishing event for
his attendant, and there was tunnel for the fish. When they reached the
rock, they found a man covered with a garment. Moses greeted him. The
man said astonishingly, 'Is there any such greeting in your land?' Moses
said, 'I am Moses.' The man said, 'Moses of Bani Israel?' Moses said,
'Yes,' and added, 'may I follow you so that you teach me something of
the Knowledge which you have been taught?' (18.66). Al-Khadir said to
him, 'O Moses! You have something of Allah's knowledge which Allah has
taught you and which I do not know; and I have something of Allah's
knowledge which Allah has taught me and which you do not know.' Moses
said, 'But I will follow you.' Al-Khadir said, 'Then if you follow me,
ask me no question about anything until I myself speak to you concerning
it.' (18.70). After that both of them proceeded along the seashore.
There passed by them a boat whose crew recognized Al-Khadir and received
them on board free of charge. So they both got on board. A sparrow came
and sat on the edge of the boat and dipped its beak unto the sea.
Al-Khadir said to Moses. 'My knowledge and your knowledge and all the
creation's knowledge compared to Allah's knowledge is not more than the
water taken by this sparrow's beak.' Then Moses was startled by
Al-Khadir's action of taking an adze and scuttling the boat with it.
Moses said to him, 'These people gave us a free lift, but you
intentionally scuttled their boat so as to drown them. Surely you
have...' (18.71) Then they both proceeded and found a boy playing with
other boys. Al-Khadir took hold of him by the head and cut it off. Moses
said to him, 'Have you killed an innocent soul who has killed
nobody? Surely you have done an illegal thing! ' (18.74) He said,
"Didn't I tell you that you will not be able to have patient with me up
to ..but they refused to entertain them as their guests. There they
found a wall therein at the point of collapsing.' (18.75-77) Al-Khadir
moved his hand thus and set it upright (repaired it). Moses said to him,
'When we entered this town, they neither gave us hospitality nor fed
us; if you had wished, you could have taken wages for it,' Al-Khadir
said, 'This is the parting between you and me I will tell you the
interpretation of (those things) about which you were unable to hold
patience.'...(18.78) Allah's Apostle said, 'We wished that Moses could
have been more patient so that He (Allah) could have described to us
more about their story.' Ibn 'Abbas used to recite:-- 'And in front
(ahead) of them there was a king who used to seize every (serviceable)
boat by force. (18.79) ...and as for the boy he was a disbeliever. "

Sahl bin Saud: 'Uwaimir came to 'Asim bin 'Adi who was the chief of
Bani Ajlan and said, "What do you say about a man who has found another
man with his wife? Should he kill him whereupon you would kill
him (i.e. the husband), or what should he do? Please ask Allah's
Apostle about this matter on my behalf." Asim then went to the Prophet
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! (And asked him that question) but Allah's
Apostle disliked the question," When 'Uwaimir asked 'Asim (about the
Prophet's answer) 'Asim replied that Allah's Apostle disliked such
questions and considered it shameful. "Uwaimir then said, "By Allah, I
will not give up asking unless I ask Allah's Apostle about it." Uwaimir
came (to the Prophet ) and said, "O Allah's Apostle! A man has found
another man with his wife! Should he kill him whereupon you would kill
him (the husband, in Qisas) or what should he do?" Allah's Apostle
said, "Allah has revealed regarding you and your wife's case in the
Qur'an "So Allah's Apostle ordered them to perform the measures of
Mula'ana according to what Allah had mentioned in His Book. So 'Uwaimir
did Mula'ana with her and said, "O Allah's Apostle! If I kept her I
would oppress her." So 'Uwaimir divorced her and so divorce became a
tradition after them for those who happened to be involved in a case of
Mula'ana. Allah's Apostle then said, "Look! If she (Uwaimir's wife)
delivers a black child with deep black large eyes, big hips and fat
legs, then I will be of the opinion that 'Uwaimir has spoken the truth;
but if she delivers a red child looking like a Wahra then we will
consider that 'Uwaimir has told a lie against her." Later on she
delivered a child carrying the qualities which Allah's Apostle had
mentioned as a proof for 'Uwaimir's claim; therefore the child was
ascribed to its mother henceforth.

Sahl bin Sad: A man came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Suppose a man saw another man with his wife, should he kill him whereupon you might kill him (i.e. the killer)
(in Qisas) or what should he do?" So Allah revealed concerning their
case what is mentioned of the order of Mula'ana. Allah's Apostle said to
the man, "The matter between you and your wife has been decided." So
they did Mula'ana in the presence of Allah's Apostle and I was present
there, and then the man divorced his wife. So it became a tradition to
dissolve the marriage of those spouses who were involved in a case of
Mula'ana. The woman was pregnant and the husband denied that he was the
cause of her pregnancy, so the son was (later) ascribed to her. Then it
became a tradition that such a son would be the heir of his mother, and
she would inherit of him what Allah prescribed for her.

Aisha: (The wife of the Prophet) Whenever Allah's Apostle intended to
go on a journey, he used to draw lots among his wives and would take
with him the one on whom the lot had fallen. Once he drew lots when he
wanted to carry out a Ghazwa, and the lot came upon me. So I proceeded
with Allah's Apostle after Allah's order of veiling (the women) had been
revealed and thus I was carried in my howdah (on a camel) and
dismounted while still in it. We carried on our journey, and when
Allah's Apostle had finished his Ghazwa and returned and we approached
Medina, Allah's Apostle ordered to proceed at night. When the army was
ordered to resume the homeward journey, I got up and walked on till I
left the army (camp) behind. When I had answered the call of nature, I
went towards my howdah, but behold ! A necklace of mine made of Jaz
Azfar (a kind of black bead) was broken and I looked for it and my
search for it detained me. The group of people who used to carry me,
came and carried my howdah on to the back of my camel on which I was
riding, considering that I was therein. At that time women were light in
weight and were not fleshy for they used to eat little (food), so those
people did not feel the lightness of the howdah while raising it up,
and I was still a young lady. They drove away the camel and proceeded.
Then I found my necklace after the army had gone. I came to their camp
but found nobody therein so I went to the place where I used to stay,
thinking that they would miss me and come back in my search. While I was
sitting at my place, I felt sleepy and slept. Safwan bin Al-Mu'attil
As-Sulami Adh-Dhakw-ani was behind the army. He had started in the last
part of the night and reached my stationing place in the morning and saw
the figure of a sleeping person. He came to me and recognized me on
seeing me for he used to see me before veiling. I got up because of his
saying: "Inna Lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun," which he uttered on
recognizing me. I covered my face with my garment, and by Allah, he did
not say to me a single word except, "Inna Lillahi wa inna ilaihi
rajiun," till he made his she-camel kneel down whereupon he trod on its
forelegs and I mounted it. Then Safwan set out, leading the she-camel
that was carrying me, till we met the army while they were resting
during the hot midday. Then whoever was meant for destruction, fell in
destruction, and the leader of the Ifk (forged statement) was 'Abdullah
bin Ubai bin Salul. After this we arrived at Medina and I became ill for
one month while the people were spreading the forged statements of the
people of the Ifk, and I was not aware of anything thereof. But what
aroused my doubt while I was sick, was that I was no longer receiving
from Allah's Apostle the same kindness as I used to receive when I fell
sick. Allah's Apostle would enter upon me, say a greeting and add, "How
is that (lady)?" and then depart. That aroused my suspicion but I was
not aware of the propagated evil till I recovered from my ailment. I
went out with Um Mistah to answer the call of nature towards Al-Manasi,
the place where we used to relieve ourselves, and used not to go out for
this purpose except from night to night, and that was before we had
lavatories close to our houses. And this habit of ours was similar to
the habit of the old 'Arabs (in the deserts or in the tents) concerning
the evacuation of the bowels, for we considered it troublesome and
harmful to take lavatories in the houses. So I went out with Um Mistah
who was the daughter of Abi Ruhm bin Abd Manaf, and her mother was
daughter of Sakhr bin Amir who was the aunt of Abi Bakr As-Siddiq, and
her son was Mistah bin Uthatha. When we had finished our affair, Um
Mistah and I came back towards my house. Um Mistah stumbled over her
robe whereupon she said, "Let Mistah be ruined ! " I said to her, "What a
bad word you have said! Do you abuse a man who has taken part in the
Battle of Badr?' She said, "O you there! Didn't you hear what he has
said?" I said, "And what did he say?" She then told me the statement of
the people of the Ifk (forged statement) which added to my ailment. When
I returned home, Allah's Apostle came to me, and after greeting, he
said, "How is that (lady)?" I said, "Will you allow me to go to my
parents?" At that time I intended to be sure of the news through them.
Allah's Apostle allowed me and I went to my parents and asked my mother,
"O my mother! What are the people talking about?" My mother said, "O my
daughter! Take it easy, for by Allah, there is no charming lady who is
loved by her husband who has other wives as well, but that those wives
would find fault with her." I said, "Subhan Allah! Did the people really
talk about that?" That night I kept on weeping the whole night till the
morning. My tears never stopped, nor did I sleep, and morning broke
while I was still weeping, Allah's Apostle called 'Ali bin Abi Talib and
Usama bin Zaid when the Divine Inspiration delayed, in order to consult
them as to the idea of divorcing his wife. Usama bin Zaid told Allah's
Apostle of what he knew about the innocence of his wife and of his
affection he kept for her. He said, "O Allah's Apostle! She is your
wife, and we do not know anything about her except good." But 'Ali bin
Abi Talib said, "O Allah's Apostle! Allah does not impose restrictions
on you; and there are plenty of women other than her. If you however,
ask (her) slave girl, she will tell you the truth." 'Aisha added: So
Allah's Apostle called for Barira and said, "O Barira! Did you ever see
anything which might have aroused your suspicion? (as regards Aisha).
Barira said, "By Allah Who has sent you with the truth, I have never
seen anything regarding Aisha which I would blame her for except that
she is a girl of immature age who sometimes sleeps and leaves the dough
of her family unprotected so that the domestic goats come and eat it."
So Allah's Apostle got up (and addressed) the people an asked for
somebody who would take revenge on 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul then.
Allah's Apostle, while on the pulpit, said, "O Muslims! Who will help me
against a man who has hurt me by slandering my family? By Allah, I know
nothing except good about my family, and people have blamed a man of
whom I know nothing except good, and he never used to visit my family
except with me," Sad bin Muadh Al-Ansari got up and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! By Allah, I will relieve you from him. If he be from the tribe
of (Bani) Al-Aus, then I will chop his head off; and if he be from our
brethren, the Khazraj, then you give us your order and we will obey it."
On that, Sad bin 'Ubada got up, and he was the chief of the Khazraj,
and before this incident he had been a pious man but he was incited by
his zeal for his tribe. He said to Sad (bin Muadh), "By Allah the
Eternal, you have told a lie! You shall not kill him and you will never be able to kill
him!" On that, Usaid bin Hudair, the cousin of Sad (bin Muadh) got up
and said to Sad bin 'Ubada, "You are a liar! By Allah the Eternal, we
will surely kill him; and you are a
hypocrite defending the hypocrites!" So the two tribes of Al-Aus and
Al-Khazraj got excited till they were on the point of fighting with each
other while Allah's Apostle was standing on the pulpit. Allah's Apostle
continued quietening them till they became silent whereupon he became
silent too. On that day I kept on weeping so much that neither did my
tears stop, nor could I sleep. In the morning my parents were with me,
and I had wept for two nights and a day without sleeping and with
incessant tears till they thought that my liver would burst with
weeping. While they were with me and I was weeping, an Ansari woman
asked permission to see me. I admitted her and she sat and started
weeping with me. While I was in that state, Allah's Apostle came to us,
greeted, and sat down,. He had never sat with me since the day what was
said, was said. He had stayed a month without receiving any Divine
Inspiration concerning my case. Allah's Apostle recited the Tashahhud
after he had sat down, and then said, "Thereafter, O 'Aisha! I have been
informed such and-such a thing about you; and if you are innocent,
Allah will reveal your innocence, and if you have committed a sin, then
ask for Allah's forgiveness and repent to Him, for when a slave
confesses his sin and then repents to Allah, Allah accepts his
repentance." When Allah's Apostle had finished his speech, my tears
ceased completely so that I no longer felt even a drop thereof. Then I
said to my father, "Reply to Allah's Apostle on my behalf as to what he
said." He 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." She
said, "I do not know what to say to Allah's Apostle." Still a young girl
as I was and though I had little knowledge of Quran, I said, "By Allah,
I know that you heard this story (of the Ifk) so much so that it has
been planted in your minds and you have believed it. So now, if I tell
you that I am innocent, and Allah knows that I am innocent, you will not
believe me; and if I confess something, and Allah knows that I am
innocent of it, you will believe me. By Allah, I cannot find of you an
example except that of Joseph's father: "So (for me) patience is most
fitting against that which you assert and it is Allah (Alone) Whose help
can be sought. Then I turned away and lay on my bed, and at that time I
knew that I was innocent and that Allah would reveal my innocence. But
by Allah, I never thought that Allah would sent down about my affair,
Divine Inspiration that would be recited (forever), as I considered
myself too unworthy to be talked of by Allah with something that was to
be recited: but I hoped that Allah's Apostle might have a vision in
which Allah would prove my innocence. By Allah, Allah's Apostle had not
left his seat and nobody had left the house when the Divine Inspiration
came to Allah's Apostle . So there overtook him the same hard condition
which used to overtake him (when he was Divinely Inspired) so that the
drops of his sweat were running down, like pearls, though it was a
(cold) winter day, and that was because of the heaviness of the
Statement which was revealed to him. When that state of Allah's Apostle
was over, and he was smiling when he was relieved, the first word he
said was, "Aisha, Allah has declared your innocence." My mother said to
me, "Get up and go to him." I said, "By Allah, I will not go to him and I
will not thank anybody but Allah." So Allah revealed: "Verily! They who
spread the Slander are a gang among you. Think it not...." (24.11-20).
When Allah revealed this to confirm my innocence, Abu Bakr As-Siddiq who
used to provide for Mistah bin Uthatha because of the latter's kinship
to him and his poverty, said, "By Allah, I will never provide for Mistah
anything after what he has said about Aisha". So Allah revealed: "Let
not those among you who are good and are wealthy swear not to give
(help) to their kinsmen, those in need, and those who have left their
homes for Allah's Cause. Let them Pardon and forgive (i.e. do not punish
them). Do you not love that should forgive you? Verily Allah is
Oft-forgiving. Most Merciful." (24.22) Abu Bakr said, "Yes, by Allah, I
wish that Allah should forgive me." So he resumed giving Mistah the aid
he used to give him before and said, "By Allah, I will never withold it
from him at all." Aisha further said: Allah's Apostle also asked Zainab
bint Jahsh about my case. He said, "O Zainab! What have you seen?" She
replied, "O Allah's Apostle! I protect my hearing and my sight (by
refraining from telling lies). I know nothing but good (about Aisha)."
Of all the wives of Allah's Apostle, it was Zainab who aspired to
receive from him the same favor as I used to receive, yet, Allah saved
her (from telling lies) because of her piety. But her sister, Hamna,
kept on fighting on her behalf so she was destroyed as were those who
invented and spread the slander.

When Allah's Apostle heard that, he said, "What is that?" They said, "A
man from the emigrants kicked a man from the Ansar (on the buttocks his
foot). On that the Ansar said, 'O the Ansar!' and the emigrant said, 'O
the emigrants!" The Prophet said' "Leave it (that call) for it Is a
detestable thing." The number of Ansar was larger (than that of the
emigrants) at the time when the Prophet came to Medina, but later the
number of emigrants increased. 'Abdullah bin Ubai said, "Have they, (the
emigrants) done so? By Allah, if we return to Medina, surely, the more
honorable will expel therefrom the meaner," 'Umar bin Al-Khattab said,
"O Allah's Apostle! Let me chop off the head of this hypocrite!" The
Prophet said, "Leave him, lest the people say Muhammad kills his companions:"

Abu Salama: A man came to Ibn 'Abbas while Abu Huraira was sitting with
him and said, "Give me your verdict regarding a lady who delivered a
baby forty days after the death of her husband." Ibn 'Abbas said, "This
indicates the end of one of the two prescribed periods." I said "For
those who are pregnant, their prescribed period is until they deliver
their burdens." Abu Huraira said, I agree with my cousin (Abu Salama)."
Then Ibn 'Abbas sent his slave, Kuraib to Um Salama to ask her

hand was asked in marriage and Allah's Apostle married her (to

(i.e., a number of the Prophet's Companions who fought against
Musailama). (I went to him) and found 'Umar bin Al-Khattab sitting with
him. Abu Bakr then said (to me), "Umar has come to me and said:
"Casualties were heavy among the Qurra' of the! Qur'an (i.e. those who
knew the Quran by heart) on the day of the Battle of Yalmama, and I am
afraid that more heavy casualties may take place among the Qurra' on
other battlefields, whereby a large part of the Qur'an may be lost.
Therefore I suggest, you (Abu Bakr) order that the Qur'an be collected."
I said to 'Umar, "How can you do something which Allah's Apostle did
not do?" 'Umar said, "By Allah, that is a good project. "Umar kept on
urging me to accept his proposal till Allah opened my chest for it and I
began to realize the good in the idea which 'Umar had realized." Then
Abu Bakr said (to me). 'You are a wise young man and we do not have any
suspicion about you, and you used to write the Divine Inspiration for
Allah's Apostle. So you should search for (the fragmentary scripts of)
the Qur'an and collect it in one book)." By Allah If they had ordered me
to shift one of the mountains, it would not have been heavier for me
than this ordering me to collect the Qur'an. Then I said to Abu Bakr,
"How will you do something which Allah's Apostle did not do?" Abu Bakr
replied, "By Allah, it is a good project." Abu Bakr kept on urging me to
accept his idea until Allah opened my chest for what He had opened the
chests of Abu Bakr and 'Umar. So I started looking for the Qur'an and
collecting it from (what was written on) palmed stalks, thin white
stones and also from the men who knew it by heart, till I found the last
Verse of Surat At-Tauba (Repentance) with Abi Khuzaima Al-Ansari, and I
did not find it with anybody other than him. The Verse is: 'Verily
there has come unto you an Apostle (Muhammad) from amongst yourselves.
It grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty..(till
the end of Surat-Baraa' (At-Tauba) (9.128-129) Then the complete
manuscripts (copy) of the Qur'an remained with Abu Bakr till he died,

her in front of the Prophet ." Ibn Shihab added, "After their case, it
became a tradition that a couple involved in a case of Lian should be
separated by divorce. That lady was pregnant then, and later on her son
was called by his mother's name. The tradition concerning their
inheritance was that she would be his heir and he would inherit of her
property the share Allah had prescribed for him." Ibn Shihab said that
Sahl bin Sad As'Saidi said that the Prophet said (in the above
narration), "If that lady delivers a small red child like a lizard, then
the lady has spoken the truth and the man was a liar, but if she
delivers a child with black eyes and huge lips, then her husband has
spoken the truth." Then she delivered it in the shape one would dislike

Thabit bin Ad-Dahhak: (who was one of the companions who gave the
pledge of allegiance to the Prophet underneath the tree (Al-Hudaibiya))
Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever swears by a religion other than Islam
(i.e. if somebody swears by saying that he is a non-Muslim e.g., a Jew
or a Christian, etc.) in case he is telling a lie, he is really so if
his oath is false, and a person is not bound to fulfill a vow about a
thing which he does not possess. And if somebody commits suicide with
anything in this world, he will be tortured with that very thing on the
Day of Resurrection; And if somebody curses a believer, then his sin
will be as if he murdered him; And whoever accuses a believer of Kufr
(disbelief), then it is as if he killed him."

Abu Said Al-Khudri: While the Prophet was distributing (war booty etc.)
one day, Dhul Khawaisira, a man from the tribe of Bani Tamim, said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Act justly." The Prophets said, "Woe to you! Who else
would act justly if I did not act justly?" 'Umar said (to the Prophet ),
"Allow me to chop his neck off." The Prophet said, "No, for he has
companions (who are apparently so pious that) if anyone of (you compares
his prayer with) their prayer, he will consider his prayer inferior to
theirs, and similarly his fasting inferior to theirs, but they will
desert Islam (go out of religion) as an arrow goes through the victim's
body (games etc.) in which case if its Nasl is examined nothing will be
seen thereon, and if its Nady is examined, nothing will be seen thereon,
and if its Qudhadh is examined, nothing will be seen thereon, for the
arrow has gone out too fast even for the excretions and blood to smear
over it. Such people will come out at the time of difference among the
(Muslim) people and the sign by which they will be recognized, will be a
man whose one of the two hands will look like the breast of a woman or a
lump of flesh moving loosely." Abu Said added, "I testify that I heard
that from the Prophet and also testify that I was with 'Ali when 'Ali
fought against those people. The man described by the Prophet was
searched for among the killed, and was found, and he was exactly as the Prophet had described him." (See Hadith No. 807, Vol. 4)

'Abdullah bin 'Umar: 'Umar bin Al-Khattab set out with Allah's Apostle,
and a group of his companions to Ibn Saiyad. They found him playing
with the boys in the fort or near the Hillocks of Bani Maghala. Ibn
Saiyad was nearing his puberty at that time, and he did not notice the
arrival of the Prophet till Allah's Apostle stroked him on the back with
his hand and said, "Do you testify that I am Allah's Apostle?" Ibn
Saiyad looked at him and said, "I testify that you are the Apostle of
the unlettered ones (illiterates)". Then Ibn Saiyad said to the Prophets
. "Do you testify that I am Allah's Apostle?" The Prophet denied that,
saying, "I believe in Allah and all His Apostles," and then said to Ibn
Saiyad, "What do you see?" Ibn Saiyad said, "True people and liars visit
me." The Prophet said, "You have been confused as to this matter."
Allah's Apostle added, "I have kept something for you (in my mind)." Ibn
Saiyad said, "Ad-Dukh." The Prophet said, "Ikhsa (you should be
ashamed) for you can not cross your limits." 'Umar said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Allow me to chop off h is neck." Allah's Apostle said (to
Umar). "Should this person be him (i.e. Ad-Dajjal) then you cannot
over-power him; and should he be someone else, then it will be no use
your killing him." 'Abdullah bin
'Umar added: Later on Allah's Apostle and Ubai bin Ka'b Al-Ansari (once
again) went to the garden in which Ibn Saiyad was present. When Allah's
Apostle entered the garden, he started hiding behind the trunks of the
date-palms intending to hear something from Ibn Saiyad before the latter
could see him. Ibn Saiyad was Lying on his bed, covered with a velvet
sheet from where his mumur were heard. Ibn Saiyad's mother saw the
Prophet and said, "O Saf (the nickname of Ibn Saiyad)! Here is
Muhammad!" Ibn Saiyad stopped his murmuring. The Prophet said, "If his
mother had kept quiet, then I would have learnt more about him."
'Abdullah added: Allah's Apostle stood up before the people (delivering a
sermon), and after praising and glorifying Allah as He deserved, he
mentioned the Ad-Dajjal saying, "I warn you against him, and there has
been no prophet but warned his followers against him. Noah warned his
followers against him but I am telling you about him, something which no
prophet has told his people of, and that is: Know that he is blind in
one eye where as Allah is not so."

Usama bin Zaid: That Allah's Apostle rode over a donkey covered with a
Fadakiya (velvet sheet) and Usama was riding behind him. He was visiting
Sa'd bin 'Ubada (who was sick) in the dwelling place of Bani Al-Harith
bin Al-Khazraj and this incident happened before the battle of Badr.
They proceeded till they passed by a gathering in which 'Abdullah bin
Ubai bin Salul was present., and that was before 'Abdullah bin Ubat
embraced Islam. In that gathering there were Muslims, pagan idolators
and Jews, and among the Muslims there was 'Abdullah bin Rawaha. When a
cloud of dust raised by (the movement of ) the animal covered that
gathering, 'Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his garment and
said, "Do not cover us with dust." Allah's Apostle greeted them,
stopped, dismounted and invited them to Allah (i.e. to embrace Islam)
and recited to them the Holy Qur'an. On that 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin
Salul said to him, "O man! There is nothing better than what you say, if
it is the truth. So do not trouble us with it in our gatherings, but if
somebody comes to you, you can preach to him." On that 'Abdullah bin
Rawaha said "Yes, O Allah's Apostle! Call on us in our gathering, for we
love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing one
another till they were about to fight with one another. Allah's Apostle
kept on quietening them till all of them became quiet, and then Allah's
Apostle rode his animal and proceeded till he entered upon Sa'd bin
'Ubada. Allah's Apostle said, "O Sa'd! Didn't you hear what Abu Habab
said?" (meaning 'Abdullah bin Unbar). "He said so-and-so." Sa'd bin
Ubada said, "O Allah's Apostle! Let my father be sacrificed for you !
Excuse and forgive him for, by Him Who revealed to you the Book, Allah
sent the Truth which was revealed to you at the time when the people of
this town had decided to crown him ('Abdullah bin Ubai) as their ruler.
So when Allah had prevented that with the Truth He had given you, he was
choked by that, and that caused him to behave in such an impolite
manner which you had noticed." So Allah's Apostle excused him. (It was
the custom of) Allah's Apostle and his companions to excuse the pagans
and the people of the scripture (Christians and Jews) as Allah ordered
them, and they used to be patient when annoyed (by them). Allah said:
'You shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who
received the Scripture before you.....and from the pagans (3.186) He
also said: 'Many of the people of the scripture wish that if they could
turn you away as disbelievers after you have believed. .... (2.109) So
Allah's Apostle used to apply what Allah had ordered him by excusing
them till he was allowed to fight against them. When Allah's Apostle had
fought the battle of Badr and Allah killed whomever He killed
among the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of Quraish, and Allah's
Apostle and his companions had returned with victory and booty,
bringing with them some of the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of
the Quraish as captives. 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul and the pagan
idolators who were with him, said, "This matter (Islam) has now brought
out its face (triumphed), so give Allah's Apostle the pledge of
allegiance (for embracing Islam.)". Then they became Muslims.

most for your sake, is the worldly blessings which Allah will bring
forth to you." It was said, "What are the blessings of this world?" The
Prophet said, "The pleasures of the world." A man said, "Can the good
bring forth evil?" The Prophet kept quiet for a while till we thought
that he was being inspired divinely. Then he started removing the sweat
from his forehead and said," Where is the questioner?" That man said, "I
(am present)." Abu Sa'id added: We thanked the man when the result (of
his question) was such. The Prophet said, "Good never brings forth but
good. This wealth (of the world) is (like) green and sweet (fruit), and
all the vegetation which grows on the bank of a stream either kills or nearly kills
the animal that eats too much of it, except the animal that eats the
Khadira (a kind of vegetation). Such an animal eats till its stomach is
full and then it faces the sun and starts ruminating and then it passes
out dung and urine and goes to eat again. This worldly wealth is (like)
sweet (fruit), and if a person earns it (the wealth) in a legal way and
spends it properly, then it is an excellent helper, and whoever earns it
in an illegal way, he will be like the one who eats but is never
satisfied."

Ibn 'Abbas: I used to teach (the Qur'an to) some people of the
Muhajirln (emigrants), among whom there was 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Auf.
While I was in his house at Mina, and he was with 'Umar bin Al-Khattab
during 'Umar's last Hajj, Abdur-Rahman came to me and said, "Would that
you had seen the man who came today to the Chief of the Believers
('Umar), saying, 'O Chief of the Believers! What do you think about
so-and-so who says, 'If 'Umar should die, I will give the pledge of
allegiance to such-and-such person, as by Allah, the pledge of
allegiance to Abu Bakr was nothing but a prompt sudden action which got
established afterwards.' 'Umar became angry and then said, 'Allah
willing, I will stand before the people tonight and warn them against
those people who want to deprive the others of their rights (the
question of rulership)." 'Abdur-Rahman said, "I said, 'O Chief of the
believers! Do not do that, for the season of Hajj gathers the riff-raff
and the rubble, and it will be they who will gather around you when you
stand to address the people. And I am afraid that you will get up and
say something, and some people will spread your statement and may not
say what you have actually said and may not understand its meaning, and
may interpret it incorrectly, so you should wait till you reach Medina,
as it is the place of emigration and the place of Prophet's Traditions,
and there you can come in touch with the learned and noble people, and
tell them your ideas with confidence; and the learned people will
understand your statement and put it in its proper place.' On that,
'Umar said, 'By Allah! Allah willing, I will do this in the first speech
I will deliver before the people in Medina." Ibn Abbas added: We
reached Medina by the end of the month of Dhul-Hijja, and when it was
Friday, we went quickly (to the mosque) as soon as the sun had declined,
and I saw Sa'id bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail sitting at the corner of
the pulpit, and I too sat close to him so that my knee was touching his
knee, and after a short while 'Umar bin Al-Khattab came out, and when I
saw him coming towards us, I said to Said bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail
"Today 'Umar will say such a thing as he has never said since he was
chosen as Caliph." Said denied my statement with astonishment and said,
"What thing do you expect 'Umar to say the like of which he has never
said before?" In the meantime, 'Umar sat on the pulpit and when the
callmakers for the prayer had finished their call, 'Umar stood up, and
having glorified and praised Allah as He deserved, he said, "Now then, I
am going to tell you something which (Allah) has written for me to say.
I do not know; perhaps it portends my death, so whoever understands and
remembers it, must narrate it to the others wherever his mount takes
him, but if somebody is afraid that he does not understand it, then it
is unlawful for him to tell lies about me. Allah sent Muhammad with the
Truth and revealed the Holy Book to him, and among what Allah revealed,
was the Verse of the Rajam (the stoning of married person (male &
female) who commits illegal sexual intercourse, and we did recite this
Verse and understood and memorized it. Allah's Apostle did carry out the
punishment of stoning and so did we after him. I am afraid that after a
long time has passed, somebody will say, 'By Allah, we do not find the
Verse of the Rajam in Allah's Book,' and thus they will go astray by
leaving an obligation which Allah has revealed. And the punishment of
the Rajam is to be inflicted to any married person (male & female),
who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if the required evidence is
available or there is conception or confession. And then we used to
recite among the Verses in Allah's Book: 'O people! Do not claim to be
the offspring of other than your fathers, as it is disbelief
(unthankfulness) on your part that you claim to be the offspring of
other than your real father.' Then Allah's Apostle said, 'Do not praise
me excessively as Jesus, son of Marry was praised, but call me Allah's
Slave and His Apostles.' (O people!) I have been informed that a speaker
amongst you says, 'By Allah, if 'Umar should die, I will give the
pledge of allegiance to such-and-such person.' One should not deceive
oneself by saying that the pledge of allegiance given to Abu Bakr was
given suddenly and it was successful. No doubt, it was like that, but
Allah saved (the people) from its evil, and there is none among you who
has the qualities of Abu Bakr. Remember that whoever gives the pledge of
allegiance to anybody among you without consulting the other Muslims,
neither that person, nor the person to whom the pledge of allegiance was
given, are to be supported, lest they both should be killed.
And no doubt after the death of the Prophet we were informed that the
Ansar disagreed with us and gathered in the shed of Bani Sa'da. 'Ali and
Zubair and whoever was with them, opposed us, while the emigrants
gathered with Abu Bakr. I said to Abu Bakr, 'Let's go to these Ansari
brothers of ours.' So we set out seeking them, and when we approached
them, two pious men of theirs met us and informed us of the final
decision of the Ansar, and said, 'O group of Muhajirin (emigrants) !
Where are you going?' We replied, 'We are going to these Ansari brothers
of ours.' They said to us, 'You shouldn't go near them. Carry out
whatever we have already decided.' I said, 'By Allah, we will go to
them.' And so we proceeded until we reached them at the shed of Bani
Sa'da. Behold! There was a man sitting amongst them and wrapped in
something. I asked, 'Who is that man?' They said, 'He is Sa'd bin
'Ubada.' I asked, 'What is wrong with him?' They said, 'He is sick.'
After we sat for a while, the Ansar's speaker said, 'None has the right
to be worshipped but Allah,' and praising Allah as He deserved, he
added, 'To proceed, we are Allah's Ansar (helpers) and the majority of
the Muslim army, while you, the emigrants, are a small group and some
people among you came with the intention of preventing us from
practicing this matter (of caliphate) and depriving us of it.' When the
speaker had finished, I intended to speak as I had prepared a speech
which I liked and which I wanted to deliver in the presence of Abu Bakr,
and I used to avoid provoking him. So, when I wanted to speak, Abu Bakr
said, 'Wait a while.' I disliked to make him angry. So Abu Bakr himself
gave a speech, and he was wiser and more patient than I. By Allah, he
never missed a sentence that I liked in my own prepared speech, but he
said the like of it or better than it spontaneously. After a pause he
said, 'O Ansar! You deserve all (the qualities that you have attributed
to yourselves, but this question (of Caliphate) is only for the Quraish
as they are the best of the Arabs as regards descent and home, and I am
pleased to suggest that you choose either of these two men, so take the
oath of allegiance to either of them as you wish. And then Abu Bakr held
my hand and Abu Ubada bin Abdullah's hand who was sitting amongst us. I
hated nothing of what he had said except that proposal, for by Allah, I
would rather have my neck chopped off as expiator for a sin than become
the ruler of a nation, one of whose members is Abu Bakr, unless at the
time of my death my own-self suggests something I don't feel at
present.' And then one of the Ansar said, 'I am the pillar on which the
camel with a skin disease (eczema) rubs itself to satisfy the itching
(i.e., I am a noble), and I am as a high class palm tree! O Quraish.
There should be one ruler from us and one from you.' Then there was a
hue and cry among the gathering and their voices rose so that I was
afraid there might be great disagreement, so I said, 'O Abu Bakr! Hold
your hand out.' He held his hand out and I pledged allegiance to him,
and then all the emigrants gave the Pledge of allegiance and so did the
Ansar afterwards. And so we became victorious over Sa'd bin Ubada (whom
Al-Ansar wanted to make a ruler). One of the Ansar said, 'You have killed Sa'd bin Ubada.' I replied, 'Allah has killed
Sa'd bin Ubada.' Umar added, "By Allah, apart from the great tragedy
that had happened to us (i.e. the death of the Prophet), there was no
greater problem than the allegiance pledged to Abu Bakr because we were
afraid that if we left the people, they might give the Pledge of
allegiance after us to one of their men, in which case we would have
given them our consent for something against our real wish, or would
have opposed them and caused great trouble. So if any person gives the
Pledge of allegiance to somebody (to become a Caliph) without consulting
the other Muslims, then the one he has selected should not be granted
allegiance, lest both of them should be killed."

him with the sharp side of my sword." When the Prophet heard that he

have more sense of ghira than Sa'd, and Allah has more sense of ghira

him." Al-Miqdad said, "But O Allah's Apostle! He had chopped off one of
my hands and he said that after he had cut it off. May I kill him?" The Prophet said. "Do not kill him for if you kill him, he would be in the position in which you had been before you kill
him, and you would be in the position in which he was before he said
the sentence." The Prophet also said to Al-Miqdad, "If a faithful
believer conceals his faith (Islam) from the disbelievers, and then when
he declares his Islam, you kill him, (you will be sinful). Remember that you were also concealing your faith (Islam) at Mecca before."

Usama bin Zaid bin Haritha: Allah's Apostle sent us (to fight) against
Al-Huraqa (one of the sub-tribes) of Juhaina. We reached those people in
the morning and defeated them. A man from the Ansar and I chased one of
their men and when we attacked him, he said, "None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah." The Ansari refrained from killing him but I stabbed him with my spear till I killed him. When we reached (Medina), this news reached the Prophet. He said to me, "O Usama! You killed
him after he had said, 'None has the right to be worshipped but
Allah?"' I said, "O Allah's Apostle! He said so in order to save
himself." The Prophet said, "You killed
him after he had said, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah."
The Prophet kept on repeating that statement till I wished I had not
been a Muslim before that day.

'Ubada bin As-Samat: I was among those Naqibs (selected leaders) who
gave the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Apostle. We gave the oath of
allegiance, that we would not join partners in worship besides Allah,
would not steal, would not commit illegal sexual intercourse, would not kill
a life which Allah has forbidden, would not commit robbery, would not
disobey (Allah and His Apostle), and if we fulfilled this pledge we
would have Paradise, but if we committed any one of these (sins), then
our case will be decided by Allah.

I met Abu Bakra who asked me, "Where are you going?" I replied, "I am

saying, 'If two Muslims meet each other with their swords then (both)
the killer and the killed one are in the (Hell) Fire.' I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! It is alright for the killer, but what about the killed one?' He said, 'The killed one was eager to kill his opponent."

Anas bin Malik: A girl wearing ornaments, went out at Medina. Somebody
struck her with a stone. She was brought to the Prophet while she was
still alive. Allah's Apostle asked her, "Did such-and-such a person
strike you?" She raised her head, denying that. He asked her a second
time, saying, "Did so-and-so strike you?" She raised her head, denying
that. He said for the third time, "Did so-and-so strike you?" She
lowered her head, agreeing. Allah's Apostle then sent for the killer and killed him between two stones.

a girl so that he may steal her ornaments. He struck her with a stone,
and she was brought to the Prophet while she was still alive. The
Prophet asked her, "Did such-and-such person strike you?" She gestured
with her head, expressing denial. He asked her for the second time, and
she again gestured with her head, expressing denial. When he asked her
for the third time, she beckoned, "Yes." So the Prophet killed him (the Jew) with two stones.

| (300) Narrated Abu Huraira: In the year of the Conquest of Mecca, the tribe of Khuza'a killed a man from the tribe of Bam Laith in revenge for a killed
person belonging to them in the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance. So
Allah's Apostle got up saying, "Allah held back the (army having)
elephants from Mecca, but He let His Apostle and the believers overpower
the infidels (of Mecca). Beware! (Mecca is a sanctuary)! Verily!
Fighting in Mecca was not permitted for anybody before me, nor will it
be permitted for anybody after me; It was permitted for me only for a
while (an hour or so) of that day. No doubt! It is at this moment a
sanctuary; its thorny shrubs should not be uprooted; its trees should
not be cut down; and its Luqata (fallen things) should not be picked up
except by the one who would look for its owner. And if somebody is killed, his closest relative has the right to choose one of two things, i.e., either the Blood money or retaliation by having the killer killed."
Then a man from Yemen, called Abu Shah, stood up and said, "Write that)
for me, O Allah's Apostle!" Allah's Apostle said (to his companions),
"Write that for Abu Shah." Then another man from Quraish got up, saying,
"O Allah's Apostle! Except Al-Idhkhir (a special kind of grass) as we
use it in our houses and for graves." Allah's Apostle said, "Except
Al-idhkkir."

Salama: We went out with the Prophet to Khaibar. A man (from the
companions) said, "O 'Amir! Let us hear some of your Huda (camel-driving
songs.)" So he sang some of them (i.e. a lyric in harmony with the
camels walk). The Prophet said, "Who is the driver (of these camels)?"
They said, "Amir." The Prophet said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on him
!" The people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Would that you let us enjoy his
company longer!" Then 'Amir was killed the following morning. The people said, "The good deeds of 'Amir are lost as he has killed
himself." I returned at the time while they were talking about that. I
went to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Prophet! Let my father be
sacrificed for you! The people claim that 'Amir's good deeds are lost."
The Prophet said, "Whoever says so is a liar, for 'Amir will have a
double reward as he exerted himself to obey Allah and fought in Allah's
Cause. No other way of killing would have granted him greater reward."

them murdered. They said to the people with whom the corpse had been
found, "You have killed our companion!" Those people said, "Neither have we killed him, nor do we know his killer."
The bereaved group went to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We
went to Khaibar and found one of us murdered." The Prophet said, "Let
the older among you come forward and speak." Then the Prophet said, to
them, "Bring your proof against the killer."
They said "We have no proof." The Prophet said, "Then they (the
defendants) will take an oath." They said, "We do not accept the oaths
of the Jews." Allah's Apostle did not like that the Blood-money of the killed
one be lost without compensation, so he paid one-hundred camels out of
the camels of Zakat (to the relatives of the deceased) as Diya

Abu Qilaba: Once 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz sat on his throne in the
courtyard of his house so that the people might gather before him. Then
he admitted them and (when they came in), he said, "What do you think of
Al-Qasama?" They said, "We say that it is lawful to depend on Al-Qasama
in Qisas, as the previous Muslim Caliphs carried out Qisas depending on
it." Then he said to me, "O Abu Qilaba! What do you say about it?" He
let me appear before the people and I said, "O Chief of the Believers!
You have the chiefs of the army staff and the nobles of the Arabs. If
fifty of them testified that a married man had committed illegal sexual
intercourse in Damascus but they had not seen him (doing so), would you
stone him?" He said, "No." I said, "If fifty of them testified that a
man had committed theft in Hums, would you cut off his hand though they
did not see him?" He replied, "No." I said, "By Allah, Allah's Apostle
never killed anyone except in one of the following three situations: (1) A person who killed somebody unjustly, was killed
(in Qisas,) (2) a married person who committed illegal sexual
intercourse and (3) a man who fought against Allah and His Apostle and
deserted Islam and became an apostate." Then the people said, "Didn't
Anas bin Malik narrate that Allah's Apostle cut off the hands of the
thieves, branded their eyes and then, threw them in the sun?" I said, "I
shall tell you the narration of Anas. Anas said: "Eight persons from
the tribe of 'Ukl came to Allah's Apostle and gave the Pledge of
allegiance for Islam (became Muslim). The climate of the place (Medina)
did not suit them, so they became sick and complained about that to
Allah's Apostle. He said (to them ), "Won't you go out with the shepherd
of our camels and drink of the camels' milk and urine (as medicine)?"
They said, "Yes." So they went out and drank the camels' milk and urine,
and after they became healthy, they killed
the shepherd of Allah's Apostle and took away all the camels. This news
reached Allah's Apostle , so he sent (men) to follow their traces and
they were captured and brought (to the Prophet). He then ordered to cut
their hands and feet, and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of
iron, and then he threw them in the sun till they died." I said, "What
can be worse than what those people did? They deserted Islam, committed
murder and theft." Then 'Anbasa bin Said said, "By Allah, I never heard a
narration like this of today." I said, "O 'Anbasa! You deny my
narration?" 'Anbasa said, "No, but you have related the narration in the
way it should be related. By Allah, these people are in welfare as long
as this Sheikh (Abu Qilaba) is among them." I added, "Indeed in this
event there has been a tradition set by Allah's Apostle. The narrator
added: Some Ansari people came to the Prophet and discussed some matters
with him, a man from amongst them went out and was murdered. Those
people went out after him, and behold, their companion was swimming in
blood. They returned to Allah's Apostle and said to him, "O Allah's
Apostle, we have found our companion who had talked with us and gone out
before us, swimming in blood (killed)." Allah's Apostle went out and asked them, "Whom do you suspect or whom do you think has killed him?" They said, "We think that the Jews have killed him." The Prophet sent for the Jews and asked them, "Did you kill
this (person)?" They replied, "No." He asked the Al-Ansars, "Do you
agree that I let fifty Jews take an oath that they have not killed him?" They said, "It matters little for the Jews to kill
us all and then take false oaths." He said, "Then would you like to
receive the Diya after fifty of you have taken an oath (that the Jews
have killed your man)?" They said,
"We will not take the oath." Then the Prophet himself paid them the Diya
(Blood-money)." The narrator added, "The tribe of Hudhail repudiated
one of their men (for his evil conduct) in the Pre-lslamic period of
Ignorance. Then, at a place called Al-Batha' (near Mecca), the man
attacked a Yemenite family at night to steal from them, but a. man from
the family noticed him and struck him with his sword and killed him. The tribe of Hudhail came and captured the Yemenite and brought him to 'Umar during the Hajj season and said, "He has killed
our companion." The Yemenite said, "But these people had repudiated him
(i.e., their companion)." 'Umar said, "Let fifty persons of Hudhail
swear that they had not repudiated him." So forty-nine of them took the
oath and then a person belonging to them, came from Sham and they
requested him to swear similarly, but he paid one-thousand Dirhams
instead of taking the oath. They called another man instead of him and
the new man shook hands with the brother of the deceased. Some people
said, "We and those fifty men who had taken false oaths (Al-Qasama) set
out, and when they reached a place called Nakhlah, it started raining so
they entered a cave in the mountain, and the cave collapsed on those
fifty men who took the false oath, and all of them died except the two
persons who had shaken hands with each other. They escaped death but a
stone fell on the leg of the brother of the deceased and broke it,
whereupon he survived for one year and then died." I further said,
"'Abdul Malik bin Marwan sentenced a man to death in Qisas (equality in
punishment) for murder, basing his judgment on Al-Qasama, but later on
he regretted that judgment and ordered that the names of the fifty
persons who had taken the oath (Al-Qasama), be erased from the register,
and he exiled them in Sham."

'Abdullah bin Qais!).' I said, 'By Him Who sent you with the Truth,
these two men did not tell me what was in their hearts and I did not
feel (realize) that they were seeking employment.' As if I were looking
now at his Siwak being drawn to a corner under his lips, and he said,
'We never (or, we do not) appoint for our affairs anyone who seeks to be
employed. But O Abu Musa! (or 'Abdullah bin Qais!) Go to Yemen.'" The
Prophet then sent Mu'adh bin Jabal after him and when Mu'adh reached
him, he spread out a cushion for him and requested him to get down (and
sit on the cushion). Behold: There was a fettered man beside Abu Muisa.
Mu'adh asked, "Who is this (man)?" Abu Muisa said, "He was a Jew and
became a Muslim and then reverted back to Judaism." Then Abu Muisa
requested Mu'adh to sit down but Mu'adh said, "I will not sit down till
he has been killed. This is the
judgment of Allah and His Apostle (for such cases) and repeated it
thrice. Then Abu Musa ordered that the man be killed, and he was killed.

it was indeed a trick (i.e., I may say things just to cheat my enemy).
No doubt I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "During the last days there
will appear some young foolish people who will say the best words but
their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have no
faith) and will go out from (leave) their religion as an arrow goes out

" Leave him, for he has companions, and if you compare your prayers
with their prayers and your fasting with theirs, you will look down upon
your prayers and fasting, in comparison to theirs. Yet they will go out
of the religion as an arrow darts through the game's body in which
case, if the Qudhadh of the arrow is examined, nothing will be found on
it, and when its Nasl is examined, nothing will be found on it; and then
its Nadiyi is examined, nothing will be found on it. The arrow has been
too fast to be smeared by dung and blood. The sign by which these
people will be recognized will be a man whose one hand (or breast) will
be like the breast of a woman (or like a moving piece of flesh). These
people will appear when there will be differences among the people
(Muslims)." Abu Sa'id added: I testify that I heard this from the
Prophet and also testify that 'Ali killed
those people while I was with him. The man with the description given
by the Prophet was brought to 'Ali. The following Verses were revealed

retreat unless and until the opposing army retreats." Muawiya said, "(If
the Muslims are killed) who will
look after their children?" 'Amr bin Al-As said: I (will look after
them). On that, 'Abdullah bin 'Amir and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Samura said,
"Let us meet Muawaiya and suggest peace." Al-Hasan Al-Basri added: No
doubt, I heard that Abu Bakra said, "Once while the Prophet was
addressing (the people), Al-Hasan (bin 'Ali) came and the Prophet said,
'This son of mine is a chief, and Allah may make peace between two
groups of Muslims through him."

Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established
(1) till two big groups fight each other whereupon there will be a great
number of casualties on both sides and they will be following one and
the same religious doctrine, (2) till about thirty Dajjals (liars)
appear, and each one of them will claim that he is Allah's Apostle, (3)
till the religious knowledge is taken away (by the death of Religious
scholars) (4) earthquakes will increase in number (5) time will pass
quickly, (6) afflictions will appear, (7) Al-Harj, (i.e., killing)
will increase, (8) till wealth will be in abundance ---- so abundant
that a wealthy person will worry lest nobody should accept his Zakat,
and whenever he will present it to someone, that person (to whom it will
be offered) will say, 'I am not in need of it, (9) till the people
compete with one another in constructing high buildings, (10) till a man
when passing by a grave of someone will say, 'Would that I were in his
place (11) and till the sun rises from the West. So when the sun will
rise and the people will see it (rising from the West) they will all
believe (embrace Islam) but that will be the time when: (As Allah said,)
'No good will it do to a soul to believe then, if it believed not
before, nor earned good (by deeds of righteousness) through its Faith.'
(6.158) And the Hour will be established while two men spreading a
garment in front of them but they will not be able to sell it, nor fold
it up; and the Hour will be established when a man has milked his
she-camel and has taken away the milk but he will not be able to drink
it; and the Hour will be established before a man repairing a tank (for
his livestock) is able to water (his animals) in it; and the Hour will
be established when a person has raised a morsel (of food) to his mouth
but will not be able to eat it."

Abu Sa'id: One day Allah's Apostle narrated to us a long narration
about Ad-Dajjal and among the things he narrated to us, was: "Ad-Dajjal
will come, and he will be forbidden to enter the mountain passes of
Medina. He will encamp in one of the salt areas neighboring Medina and
there will appear to him a man who will be the best or one of the best
of the people. He will say 'I testify that you are Ad-Dajjal whose story
Allah's Apostle has told us.' Ad-Dajjal will say (to his audience),
'Look, if I kill this man and then give him life, will you have any doubt about my claim?' They will reply, 'No,' Then Ad-Dajjal will kill
that man and then will make him alive. The man will say, 'By Allah, now
I recognize you more than ever!' Ad-Dajjal will then try to kill him (again) but he will not be given the power to do so."

(Book #89, Hadith #279) |
| (336) Narrated Abu Qatada: Allah's Apostle said on the Day of (the battle of) Hunain, "Whoever has killed
an infidel and has a proof or a witness for it, then the salb (arms and
belongings of that deceased) will be for him." I stood up to seek a
witness to testify that I had killed
an infidel but I could not find any witness and then sat down. Then I
thought that I should mention the case to Allah's Apostle I (and when I
did so) a man from those who were sitting with him said, "The arms of
the killed person he has mentioned,
are with me, so please satisfy him on my behalf." Abu Bakr said, "No, he
will not give the arms to a bird of Quraish and deprive one of Allah's
lions of it who fights for the cause of Allah and His Apostle." Allah's
Apostle I stood up and gave it to me, and I bought a garden with its
price, and that was my first property which I owned through the war
booty. The people of Hijaz said, "A judge should not pass a judgment
according to his knowledge, whether he was a witness at the time he was
the judge or before that" And if a litigant gives a confession in favor
of his opponent in the court, in the opinion of some scholars, the judge
should not pass a judgment against him till the latter calls two
witnesses to witness his confession. And some people of Iraq said, "A
judge can pass a judgement according to what he hears or witnesses (the
litigant's confession) in the court itself, but if the confession takes
place outside the court, he should not pass the judgment unless two
witnesses witness the confession." Some of them said, "A judge can pass a
judgement depending on his knowledge of the case as he is trust-worthy,
and that a witness is Required just to reveal the truth. The judge's
knowledge is more than the witness." Some said, "A judge can judge
according to his knowledge only in cases involving property, but in
other cases he cannot." Al-Qasim said, "A judge ought not to pass a
judgment depending on his knowledge if other people do not know what he
knows, although his knowledge is more than the witness of somebody else
because he might expose himself to suspicion by the Muslims and cause
the Muslims to have unreasonable doubt. "

Ibn 'Umar: The Prophet sent (an army unit under the command of) Khalid
bin Al-Walid to fight against the tribe of Bani Jadhima and those people
could not express themselves by saying, "Aslamna," but they said,
"Saba'na! Saba'na! " Khalid kept on killing some of them and taking some others as captives, and he gave a captive to everyone of us and ordered everyone of us to kill his captive. I said, "By Allah, I shall not kill my captive and none of my companions shall kill
his captive!" Then we mentioned that to the Prophet and he said, "O
Allah! I am free from what Khalid bin Al-Walid has done," and repeated
it twice.

Zaid bin Thabit: Abu Bakr sent for me owing to the large number of
casualties in the battle of Al-Yamama, while 'Umar was sitting with him.
Abu Bakr said (to me), 'Umar has come to my and said, 'A great number
of Qaris of the Holy Quran were killed
on the day of the battle of Al-Yamama, and I am afraid that the
casualties among the Qaris of the Quran may increase on other
battle-fields whereby a large part of the Quran may be lost. Therefore I
consider it advisable that you (Abu Bakr) should have the Qur'an
collected.' I said, 'How dare I do something which Allah's Apostle did
not do?' 'Umar said, By Allah, it is something beneficial.' 'Umar kept
on pressing me for that till Allah opened my chest for that for which He
had opened the chest of 'Umar and I had in that matter, the same
opinion as 'Umar had." Abu Bakr then said to me (Zaid), "You are a wise
young man and we do not have any suspicion about you, and you used to
write the Divine Inspiration for Allah's Apostle. So you should search
for the fragmentary scripts of the Quran and collect it (in one Book)."
Zaid further said: By Allah, if Abu Bakr had ordered me to shift a
mountain among the mountains from one place to another it would not have
been heavier for me than this ordering me to collect the Qur'an. Then I
said (to 'Umar and Abu Bakr), "How can you do something which Allah's
Apostle did not do?" Abu Bakr said, "By Allah, it is something
beneficial." Zaid added: So he (Abu Bakr) kept on pressing me for that
until Allah opened my chest for that for which He had opened the chests
of Abu Bakr and 'Umar, and I had in that matter, the same opinion as
theirs. So I started compiling the Quran by collecting it from the
leafless stalks of the date-palm tree and from the pieces of leather and
hides and from the stones, and from the chests of men (who had
memorized the Quran). I found the last verses of Sirat-at-Tauba:
("Verily there has come unto you an Apostle (Muhammad) from amongst
yourselves--' (9.128-129) ) from Khuzaima or Abi Khuzaima and I added to
it the rest of the Sura. The manuscripts of the Quran remained with Abu
Bakr till Allah took him unto Him. Then it remained with 'Umar till
Allah took him unto Him, and then with Hafsa bint 'Umar.

Abu Laila bin 'Abdullah bin Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl: Sahl bin Abi Hathma
and some great men of his tribe said, 'Abdullah bin 'Sahl and Muhaiyisa
went out to Khaibar as they were struck with poverty and difficult
living conditions. Then Muhaiyisa was informed that Abdullah had been killed and thrown in a pit or a spring. Muhaiyisa went to the Jews and said, "By Allah, you have killed my companion." The Jews said, "By Allah, we have not killed
him." Muhaiyisa then came back to his people and told them the story.
He, his elder brother Huwaiyisa and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl came (to the
Prophet) and he who had been at Khaibar, proceeded to speak, but the
Prophet said to Muhaiyisa, "The eldest! The eldest!" meaning, "Let the
eldest of you speak." So Huwaiyisa spoke first and then Muhaiyisa.
Allah's Apostle said, "The Jews should either pay the blood money of
your (deceased) companion or be ready for war." After that Allah's
Apostle wrote a letter to the Jews in that respect, and they wrote that
they had not killed him. Then
Allah's Apostle said to Huwaiyisa, Muhaiyisa and 'Abdur-Rahman, "Can you
take an oath by which you will be entitled to take the blood money?"
They said, "No." He said (to them), "Shall we ask the Jews to take an
oath before you?" They replied, "But the Jews are not Muslims." So
Allah's Apostle gave them one-hundred she-camels as blood money from
himself. Sahl added: When those she-camels were made to enter the house,
one of them kicked me with its leg.

anything in worship along with Allah, (2) Not to steal, (3) Not to
commit illegal sexual intercourse, (4) Not to kill
your children, (5) Not to accuse an innocent person (to spread such an
accusation among people), (6) Not to be disobedient (when ordered) to do
good deeds. The Prophet added: Whoever amongst you fulfill his pledge,
his reward will be with Allah, and whoever commits any of those sins and
receives the legal punishment in this world for that sin, then that
punishment will be an expiation for that sin, and whoever commits any of
those sins and Allah does not expose him, then it is up to Allah if He
wishes He will punish him or if He wishes, He will forgive him." So we
gave the Pledge for that. (See Hadith No. 17, Vol. 1)

Abu Musa: The Prophet said, "My example and the example of what I have
been sent with is that of a man who came to some people and said, 'O
people! I have seen the enemy's army with my own eyes, and I am the
naked warner; so protect yourselves!' Then a group of his people obeyed
him and fled at night proceeding stealthily till they were safe, while
another group of them disbelieved him and stayed at their places till
morning when the army came upon them, and killed
and ruined them completely So this is the example of that person who

Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sa'idi: 'Uwaimir Al-'Ajlani came to 'Asim bin 'Adi and
said, "If a man found another man with his wife and killed
him, would you sentence the husband to death (in Qisas,) i.e., equality
in punishment)? O 'Asim! Please ask Allah's Apostle about this matter
on my behalf." 'Asim asked the Prophet but the Prophet disliked the
question and disapproved of it. 'Asim returned and informed 'Uwaimir
that the Prophet disliked that type of question. 'Uwaimir said, "By
Allah, I will go (personally) to the Prophet." 'Uwaimir came to the
Prophet when Allah had already revealed Qur'anic Verses (in that
respect), after 'Asim had left (the Prophet ). So the Prophet said to
'Uwaimir, "Allah has revealed Qur'anic Verses regarding you and your
wife." The Prophet then called for them, and they came and carried out
the order of Lian. Then 'Uwaimir said, "O Allah's Apostle! Now if I kept
her with me, I would be accused of telling a lie." So 'Uwaimir divorced
her although the Prophet did not order him to do so. Later on this
practice of divorcing became the tradition of couples involved in a case
of Li'an. The Prophet said (to the people). "Wait for her! If she
delivers a red short (small) child like a Wahra (a short red animal).
then I will be of the opinion that he ('Uwaimir) has told a lie but if
she delivered a black big-eyed one with big buttocks, then I will be of
the opinion that he has told the truth about her." 'Ultimately she gave
birth to a child that proved the accusation. (See Hadith No. 269, Vol.

told me that the daughter of Al-Harith told him that when they gathered
(to kill Khubaib Al Ansari) he asked
for a razor to clean his pubic region, and when they had taken him
outside the sanctuary of Mecca in order to kill him, he said in verse, "I don't care if I am killed as a Muslim, on any side (of my body) I may be killed
in Allah's Cause; for that is for the sake of Allah's very Self; and if
He will, He will bestow His Blessings upon the torn pieces of my body."
Then Ibn Al-Harith killed him, and the Prophet informed his companions of the death of those (ten men) on the very day they were killed.

Abu Said Al-Khudri: When 'Ali was in Yemen, he sent some gold in its
ore to the Prophet. The Prophet distributed it among Al-Aqra' bin Habis
Al-Hanzali who belonged to Bani Mujashi, 'Uyaina bin Badr Al-Fazari,
'Alqama bin 'Ulatha Al-'Amiri, who belonged to the Bani Kilab tribe and
Zaid AI-Khail At-Ta'i who belonged to Bani Nabhan. So the Quraish and
the Ansar became angry and said, "He gives to the chiefs of Najd and
leaves us!" The Prophet said, "I just wanted to attract and unite their
hearts (make them firm in Islam)." Then there came a man with sunken
eyes, bulging forehead, thick beard, fat raised cheeks, and clean-shaven
head, and said, "O Muhammad! Be afraid of Allah! " The Prophet said,
"Who would obey Allah if I disobeyed Him? (Allah). He trusts me over the
people of the earth, but you do not trust me?" A man from the people
(present then), who, I think, was Khalid bin Al-Walid, asked for
permission to kill him, but the
Prophet prevented him. When the man went away, the Prophet said, "Out of
the offspring of this man, there will be people who will recite the
Quran but it will not go beyond their throats, and they will go out of
Islam as an arrow goes out through the game, and they will kill the Muslims and leave the idolators. Should I live till they appear, I would kill them as the killing of the nation of 'Ad."

Anas: The Prophet said, "The believers will be kept (waiting) on the
Day of Resurrection so long that they will become worried and say, "Let
us ask somebody to intercede far us with our Lord so that He may relieve
us from our place. Then they will go to Adam and say, 'You are Adam,
the father of the people. Allah created you with His Own Hand and made
you reside in His Paradise and ordered His angels to prostrate before
you, and taught you the names of all things will you intercede for us
with your Lord so that He may relieve us from this place of ours? Adam
will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking.' He will mention his
mistakes he had committed, i.e., his eating off the tree though he had
been forbidden to do so. He will add, 'Go to Noah, the first prophet
sent by Allah to the people of the Earth.' The people will go to Noah
who will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking' He will mention his
mistake which he had done, i.e., his asking his Lord without knowledge.'
He will say (to them), 'Go to Abraham, Khalil Ar-Rahman.' They will go
to Abraham who will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking. He would
mention three words by which he told a lie, and say (to them). 'Go to
Moses, a slave whom Allah gave the Torah and spoke to, directly and
brought near Him, for conversation.' They will go to Moses who will say,
'I am not fit for this undertaking. He will mention his mistake he
made, i.e., killing a person, and

soul created by Him and His Word.' (Be: And it was.) They will go to
Jesus who will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking but you'd better
go to Muhammad the slave whose past and future sins have been forgiven
by Allah.' So they will come to me, and I will ask my Lord's permission
to enter His House and then I will be permitted. When I see Him I will
fall down in prostration before Him, and He will leave me (in
prostration) as long as He will, and then He will say, 'O Muhammad, lift
up your head and speak, for you will be listened to, and intercede, for
your intercession will be accepted, and ask (for anything) for it will
be granted:' Then I will raise my head and glorify my Lord with certain
praises which He has taught me. Allah will put a limit for me (to
intercede for a certain type of people) I will take them out and make
them enter Paradise." (Qatada said: I heard Anas saying that), the
Prophet said, "I will go out and take them out of Hell (Fire) and let
them enter Paradise, and then I will return and ask my Lord for
permission to enter His House and I will be permitted. When I will see
Him I will fall down in prostration before Him and He will leave me in
prostration as long as He will let me (in that state), and then He will
say, 'O Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for you will be listened

and He will put a limit for me (to intercede for a certain type of
people). I will take them out and let them enter Paradise." (Qatada

take them out of Hell (Fire) and let them enter Paradise, and I will
return for the third time and will ask my Lord for permission to enter
His house, and I will be allowed to enter. When I see Him, I will fall

as He will, and then He will say, 'Raise your head, O Muhammad, and
speak, for you will be listened to, and intercede, for your intercession

raise my head and praise Allah as He has taught me and then I will
intercede and He will put a limit for me (to intercede for a certain

out and take them out of Hell (Fire) and let them enter Paradise, till
none will remain in the Fire except those whom Quran will imprison
