| (1) Abu
Dharr reported: I said: Messenger of Allah, which of the deeds is the
best? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: Belief in Allah and Jihad in His
cause. I again asked: Who is the slave whose emancipation is the best?
He (the Holy Prophet) replied: One who is valuable for his master and
whose price is high. I said: If I can't afford to do it? He (the Holy
Prophet) replied: Help an artisan or make anything for the unskilled
(labourer). I (Abu Dharr) said: Messenger of Allah, you see that I am
helpless in doing some of these deeds. He (the Holy Prophet) replied:
Desist from doing mischief to the people. That is the charity of your
person on your behalf.
(Book #001, Hadith #0149) |
| (2) 'Abdullah
reported: I asked the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him): Which
sin is the gravest in the eye of Allah? He (the Holy Prophet) replied:
That you associate a partner with Allah (despite the fact) that He has
created you. He (the reporter) said: I told him (the, Holy Prophet):
Verily it is indeed grave. He (the reporter) said: I asked him what the
next (gravest sin) was. He (the Holy Prophet) replied: That you kill
your child out of fear that he shall join you in food. He (the
reporter) said: I asked (him) what the next (gravest sin) was. He (the
Holy Prophet) observed: Then (the next gravest sin) is that you commit
adultery with the wife of your neighbour.
(Book #001, Hadith #0156) |
| (3) It
is narrated on the authority of Abdullah b. Mas'ud that a man said:
Messenger of Allah, which offence is the most grievous in the eye of
Allah? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: That you associate a partner with
Allah (despite the fact) that He created you. He (the man) said: What
next? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: That you kill
your child out of fear that he would join you in food. He (the
inquirer) said (again): What next? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: That
you commit adultery with the wife of your neighbour. And the Almighty
and Exalted Lord testified it (with this verse): All those who call not
unto another god along with Allah, and slay not any soul which Allah has
forbidden, except in the cause of justice, nor commit fornication, and
he who does this shall meet a requital of sin (xxv. 68).
(Book #001, Hadith #0157) |
| (4) Anas
narrated from the Apostle (may peace be upon him) about the major sins.
He (the Holy Prophet) observed: Associating anyone with Allah,
disobedience to parents, killing a person and false utterance.
(Book #001, Hadith #0159) |
| (5) Ubaidullah
b. Abu Bakr said: I heard Anas b. Malik saying: The Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) talked about the major sins, or he was asked
about the major sins. Upon this he observed: Associating anyone with
Allah, killing of a person,
disobedience to parents. He (the Holy Prophet further) said: Should I
not inform you about the gravest of the major sins, and (in this
connection) observed: False utterance or false testimony. Shu'ba said.
It was most probably" false testimony".
(Book #001, Hadith #0160) |
| (6) It
is reported on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) observed: Avoid the seven noxious things. It
was said (by the hearers): What are they, Messenger of Allah? He (the
Holy Prophet) replied: Associating anything with Allah, magic, killing
of one whom God has declared inviolate without a just cause, consuming
the property of an orphan, and consuming of usury, turning back when the
army advances, and slandering chaste women who are believers, but
unwary.
(Book #001, Hadith #0161) |
| (7) It
is narrated on the authority of Miqdad b. Aswad that he said. Messenger
of Allah, you just see (here is a point): If I encountered a person
amongst the infidels (in the battlefield) and he attacked me and struck
me and cut off one of my hands with the sword. Then he (in order to
protect himself from me) took shelter of a tree and said: I become
Muslim for Allah's sake. Messenger of Allah, can I kill him after he had uttered this? The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Do not kill him. I (the narrator) said: Messenger of Allah, he cut off my hand and uttered this after amputating it; should I then kill him? The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Don't kill him, for I you kill him, verily he would be in a position where you had been before killing him and verily you would be in a position where he had been before uttering (kalima).
(Book #001, Hadith #0173) |
| (8) The
same hadith has been transmitted by the same chain of narrators. The
hadith transmitted by Auza'i and Ibn Juraij contains these words: I
embraced Islam for Allah's sake. and in the hadith narrated by Ma'mar
the words are: I knelt down to kill him, that he said; There is no god but Allah.
(Book #001, Hadith #0174) |
| (9) It
is narrated on the authority of Usama b. Zaid that the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) sent us in a raiding party. We raided
Huraqat of Juhaina in the morning. I caught hold of a man and he said:
There is no god but Allah, I attacked him with a spear. It once occurred
to me and I talked about it to the Apostle (may peace be upon him). The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Did he profess" There
is no god but Allah," and even then you killed
him? I said: Messenger of Allah, he made a profession of it out of the
fear of the weapon. He (the Holy Prophet) observed: Did you tear his
heart in order to find out whether it had professed or not? And he went
on repeating it to me till I wished I had embraced Islam that day. Sa'd
said: By Allah, I would never kill any Muslim so long as a person with a heavy belly, i. e., Usama, would not kill.
Upon this a person remarked: Did Allah not say this: And fight them
until there is no more mischief and religion is wholly for Allah? Sa'd
said: We fought so that there should be no mischief, but you and your
companions wish to fight so that there should be mischief.
(Book #001, Hadith #0176) |
| (10) It
is narrated on the authority of Usama b. Zaid: The Messenger of Allah
may peace be upon him) sent us to Huraqat, a tribe of Juhaina. We
attacked that tribe early in the morning and defeated them and I and a
man from the Ansar caught hold of a person (of the defeated tribe). When
we overcame him, he said: There is no god but Allah. At that moment the
Ansari spared him, but I attacked him with my spear and killed
him. The news had already reached the Apostle (peace be upon him), so
when we came back he (the Apostle) said to me: Usama, did you kill
him after he had made the profession: There is no god but Allah? I
said. Messenger of Allah, he did it only as a shelter. The Holy Prophet
observed: Did you kill him after he
had made the profession that there is no god but Allah? He (the Holy
Prophet) went on repeating this to me till I wished I had not embraced
Islam before that day.
(Book #001, Hadith #0177) |
| (11) It
is narrated by Safwan b. Muhriz that Jundab b. 'Abdullah al-Bajali
during the stormy days of Ibn Zubair sent a message to 'As'as b. Salama:
Gather some men of your family so that I should talk to them. He
('As'as) sent a messenger to them (to the members of his family). When
they had assembled, Jundab came there with a yellow hooded cloak on him,
He said: Talk what you were busy in talking. The talk went on by turns,
till there came his (Jundab's) turn. He took off the hooded cloak from
his head and said: I have come to you with no other intention but to
narrate to you a hadith of your Apostle: Verily the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) sent a squad of the Muslims to a tribe of the
polytheists. Both the armies confronted one another. There was a man
among the army of polytheists who (was so dashing that), whenever he
intended to kill a man from among the Muslims, he killed
him. Amongst the Muslims too was a man looking forward to (an
opportunity of) his (the polytheist's) unmindfulness. He (the narrator)
said: We talked that he was Usama b, Zaid. When he raised his sword, he
(the soldier of the polytheists) uttered:" There is no god but Allah,"
but he (Usama b. Zaid) killed him.
When the messenger of the glad tidings came to the Apostle (may peace be
upon him) he asked him (about the events of the battle) and he informed
him about the man (Usama) and what he had done He (the Prophet of
Allah) called for him and asked him why he had killed him. He (Usama) said: Messenger of Allah, he struck the Muslims and killed
such and such of them. And he even named some of them. (He continued): I
attacked him and when he saw the sword he said: There is no god but
Allah. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Did you kill
him? He (Usama) replied in the affirmative. He (the Holy Prophet)
remarked: What would you do with:" There is no god but Allah," when he
would come (before you) on the Day of Judgment? He (Usama) said:
Messenger of Allah, beg pardon for me (from your Lord). He (the Holy
Prophet) said: What would you do with:" There is no god but Allah" when
he would come (before you) on the Day of Judgment? He (the Holy Prophet)
added nothing to it but kept saying: What would you do with:" There is
no god but Allah," when he would come (before you) on the Day of
Judgment?
(Book #001, Hadith #0178) |
| (12) It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) observed: He who killed
himself with steel (weapon) would be the eternal denizen of the Fire of
Hell and he would have that weapon in his hand and would be thrusting
that in his stomach for ever and ever, he who drank poison and killed himself would sip that in the Fire of Hell where he is doomed for ever and ever; and he who killed
himself by falling from (the top of) a mountain would constantly fall
in the Fire of Hell and would live there for ever and ever.
(Book #001, Hadith #0199) |
| (13) Thabit
b. Dahhak reported that he pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) under the Tree, and verily the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) observed: He who took an oath of a
religion other than Islam, in the state of being a liar, would became
so, as he professed. He who killed
himself with a thing would be tormented on the Day of Resurrection with
that very thing. One is not obliged to offer votive offering of a thing
which is not in his possession.
(Book #001, Hadith #0201) |
| (14) It
is narrated on the authority of Thabit b. al-Dahhak that the Apostle of
Allah (may peace be upon him) observes: None is obliged to give votive
offering (of a thing) which is not in his possession and the cursing of a
believer is tantamount to killing him, and he who killed
himself with a thing in this world would be tormented with that (very
thing) on the Day of Resurrection, and he who made a false claim to
increase (his wealth), Allah would make no addition but that of paucity,
and he who perjured would earn the wrath of God
(Book #001, Hadith #0202) |
| (15) It
is narrated on the authority of Thabit b. Dahhak that the Apostle of
Allah (may peace be upon him) observed: He who took deliberately a false
oath on a religion other than Islam would become that which he had
professed. And he who killed himself with anything Allah would torment him with that in the Fire of Hell.
(Book #001, Hadith #0203) |
| (16) It
is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira: We participated in the
Battle of Hunain along with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him). He (the Holy Prophet) said about a man who claimed to be a Muslim
that he was one of the denizens of the Fire (of Hell). When we were in
the thick of the battle that man fought desperately and was wounded. It
was said: Messenger of Allah, the person whom you at first called as the
denizen of Fire fought desperately and died. Upon this the Apostle of
Allah (may peace be upon him) remarked: He was doomed to the Fire (of
Hell). Some men were on the verge of doubt (about his fate) when it was
said that he was not dead but fatally wounded. When it was night he
could not stand the (pain of his) wound and killed
himself. The Apostle (may peace be upon him) was informed of that. He
(the Holy Prophet) observed: Allah is Great, I bear testimony to the
fact that I am the servant of Allah and His messenger. He then commanded
Bilal to announce to the people that none but a Muslim would enter
Paradise. Verily Allah helps this faith even by a sinful person.
(Book #001, Hadith #0205) |
| (17) It
is reported on the authority of Sahl b. Sa'd al-Sa'idi that there was
an encounter between the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and
the polytheists, and they fought (against one another). At the
conclusion of the battle the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
bent his steps towards his army and they (the enemies) bent their steps
towards their army. And there was a person (his name was Quzman and he
was one of the hypocrites) among the Companions of the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) who did not spare a detached (fighter of
the enemy) but pursued and killed
him with the sword. They (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) said: None
served us better today than this man Upon this the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) remarked: Verily he is one of the denizens of
Fire. One of the people (Muslims) said: I will constantly shadow him.
Then this man went out along with him. He halted whenever he halted, and
ran along with him whenever he ran. He (the narrator) said: The man was
seriously injured. He (could not stand the pain) and hastened his own
death. He placed the blade of the sword on the ground with the tip
between his chest and then pressed himself against the sword and killed
himself. Then the man (following him) went to the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) and said: I bear testimony that verily thou art
the Messenger of Allah, He (the Holy Prophet) said: What is the matter?
He replied: The person about whom you just mentioned that he was one
among the denizens of Fire and the people were surprised (at this) and I
said to them that I would bring (the news about him) and consequently I
went out in search of him till I (found him ) to be very seriously
injured. He hastened his death. He placed the blade of the sword upon
the ground and its tip between his chest and then pressed himself
against that and killed himself.
Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) remarked: A
person performs the deeds which to the people appear to be the deeds
befitting the dweller of Paradise, but he is in fact one of the denizens
of Hell. And verily a person does an act which in the eyes of public is
one which is done by the denizens of Hell, but the person is one among
the dwellers of Paradise.
(Book #001, Hadith #0206) |
| (18) It
is narrated on the authority of Ibn Shamasa Mahri that he said: We went
to Amr b. al-As and he was about to die. He wept for a long time and
turned his face towards the wall. His son said: Did the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him not give you tidings of this? Did the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) not give you tidings of this?
He (the narrator) said: He turned his face (towards the audience) and
said: The best thing which we can count upon is the testimony that there
is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah. Verily I
have passed through three phases. (The first one) in which I found
myself averse to none else more than I was averse to the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) and there was no other desire stronger in
me than the one that I should overpower him and kill
him. Had I died in this state, I would have been definitely one of the
denizens of Fire. When Allah instilled the love of Islam in my heart, I
came to the Apostle (may peace be upon him) and said: Stretch out your
right hand so that may pledge my allegiance to you. He stretched out his
right hand, I withdrew my hand, He (the Holy Prophet) said: What has
happened to you, O 'Amr? replied: I intend to lay down some condition.
He asked: What condition do you intend to put forward? I said: should be
granted pardon. He (the Holy Prophet) observed: Are you not aware of
the fact that Islam wipes out all the previous (misdeeds)? Verily
migration wipes out all the previous (misdeeds), and verily the
pilgrimage wipes out all the (previous) misdeeds. And then no one as or
dear to me than the Messenger of Allah and none was more sublime in my
eyes than he, Never could I, pluck courage to catch a full glimpse of
his face due to its splendour. So if I am asked to describe his
features, I cannot do that for I have not eyed him fully. Had I died in
this state had every reason to hope that I would have bee among the
dwellers of Paradise. Then we were responsible for certain things (in
the light of which) I am unable to know what is in store for me. When I
die, let neither female mourner nor fire accompany me. When you bury me,
fill my grave well with earth, then stand around it for the time within
which a camel is slaughtered and its meat is distributed so that I may
enjoy your intimacy and (in your company) ascertain what answer I can
give to the messengers (angels) of Allah.
(Book #001, Hadith #0220) |
| (19) Abu
Huraira reported: A person came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) and said: Messenger of Allah, what do you think if a man
comes to me in order to appropriate my possession? He (the Holy Prophet)
said: Don't surrender your possession to him. He (the inquirer) said:
If he fights me? He (the Holy Prophet) remarked: Then fight (with him).
He (the inquirer) again said: What do you think if I am killed?
He (the Holy Prophet) observed: You would be a martyr. He (the
inquirer) said: What do you think of him (Messenger of Allah) If I kill him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: he would be in the Fire.
(Book #001, Hadith #0259) |
| (20) It
is narrated on the authority of Hudhaifa: We were sitting in the
company of Umar and he said: Who amongst you has heard the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) talking about the turmoil? Some people
said: It is we who heard it. Upon this be remarked: Perhaps by turmoil
you presume the unrest of man in regard to his household or neighbour,
they replied: Yes. He ('Umar) observed: Such (an unrest) would be done
away with by prayer, fasting and charity. But who amongst you has heard
from the Apostle (may peace be upon him) describing that turmoil which
would come like the wave of the ocean. Hudhaifa said: The people hushed
into silence, I replied: It is I. He ('Umar) said: Ye, well, your father
was also very pious. Hudhaifa said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be, upon him ) observing: Temptations will be presented to men's
hearts as reed mat is woven stick by stick and any heart which is
impregnated by them will have a black mark put into it, but any heart
which rejects them will have a white mark put in it. The result is that
there will become two types of hearts: one white like a white stone
which will not be harmed by any turmoil or temptation, so long as the
heavens and the earth endure; and the other black and dust-coloured like
a vessel which is upset, not recognizing what is good or rejecting what
is abominable, but being impregnated with passion. Hudhaifa said: I
narrated to him ('Umar): There is between you and that (turmoil) a
closed door, but there is every likelihood of its being broken. 'Umar
said: Would it be broken? You have, been rendered fatherless. Had it
been opened, it would have been perhaps closed also. I said: No, it
would be broken, and I narrated to him: Verily that door implies a
person who would be killed or die.
There is no mistake in this hadith. Abu Khalid narrated: I said to Sa'd,
O Abu Malik, what do you mean by the term" Aswad Murbadda"? He replied:
High degree of whiteness in blackness. I said: What is meant by"
Alkoozu Mujakhiyyan"? He replied: A vessel turned upside down.
(Book #001, Hadith #0267) |
| (21) Abu
Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
said: By Him in Whose hand is my life, the son of Mary (may peace be
upon him) will soon descend among you as a just judge. He will break
crosses, kill swine and abolish Jizya and the wealth will pour forth to such an extent that no one will accept it.
(Book #001, Hadith #0287) |
| (22) It
is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger or Allah
(may peace be upon him) observed: I swear by Allah that the son of Mary
will certainly descend as a just judge and he would definitely break
the cross, and kill swine and
abolish Jizya and would leave the young she-camel and no one would
endeavour to (collect Zakat on it). Spite, mutual hatred and jealousy
against one another will certainly disappear and when he summons people
to accept wealth, not even one would do so.
(Book #001, Hadith #0289) |
| (23) Abu
Huraira reported: Meat was one day brought to the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) and a foreleg was offered to him, a part which
he liked. He sliced with his teeth a piece out of it and said: I shall
be the leader of mankind on the Day of Resurrection. Do you know why?
Allah would gather in one plain the earlier and the later (of the human
race) on the Day of Resurrection. Then the voice of the proclaimer would
be heard by all of them and the eyesight would penetrate through all of
them and the sun would come near. People would then experience a degree
of anguish, anxiety and agony which they shall not be able to bear and
they shall not be able to stand. Some people would say to the others:
Don you see in which trouble you are? Don't you see what (misfortune)
has overtaken you? Why don't you find one who should intercede for you
with your Lord? Some would say to the others: Go to Adam. And they would
go to Adam and say: O Adam, thou art the father of mankind. Allah
created thee by His own Hand and breathed in thee of His spirit and
ordered the angels to prostrate before thee. Intercede for us with thy
Lord Don't you see in what (trouble) we are? Don't you see what
(misfortune) has overtaken us? Adam would say: Verily, my Lord is angry,
to an extent to which He had never been angry before nor would He be
angry afterward. Verily, He forbade me (to go near) that tree and I
disobeyed Him. I am concerned with my own self. Go to someone else; go
to Noah. They would come to Noah and would say: O Noah, thou art the
first of the Messengers (sent) on the earth (after Adam), and Allah
named thee as a" Grateful Servant," intercede for us with thy Lord.
Don't you see in what (trouble) we are? Don't you see what (misfortune)
has overtaken us? He would say: Verily, my Lord is angry today as He had
never been angry before, and would never be angry afterwards. There had
emanated a curse from me with which I cursed my people. I am concerned
with only myself, I am concerned only with myself; you better go to
Ibrahim (peace be upon him). They would go to Ibrahim and say: Thou art
the apostle of Allah and His Friend amongst the inhabitants of the
earth; intercede for us with thy Lord. Don't you see in which (trouble)
we are? Don't you see what (misfortune) has overtaken us? Ibrahim would
say to them: Verily, my Lord is today angry as He had never been angry
before and would never be angry afterwards. and (Ibrahim) would mention
his lies (and then say): I am concerned only with myself, I am concerned
only with myself. You better go to someone else: go to Moses. They
would come to Moses (peace be upon him) and say: O Moses, thou art
Allah's messenger, Allah blessed thee with His messengership and His
conversation amongst people. Intercede for us with thy Lord. Don't you
see in what (trouble) we are? Don't you see what (misfortune) has
overtaken us? Moses (peace be upon him) would say to them: Verily. my
Lord is angry as He had never been angry before and would never be angry
afterwards. I, in fact, killed a person whom I had not been ordered to kill.
I am concerned with myself, I am concerned with myself. You better go
to Jesus (peace be upon him). They would come to Jesus and would say: O
Jesus, thou art the messenger of Allah and thou conversed with people in
the cradle, (thou art) His Word which I-Ie sent down upon Mary. and
(thou art) the Spirit from Him; so intercede for us with thy Lord. Don't
you see (the trouble) in which we are? Don't you see (the misfortune)
that has overtaken us? Jesus (peace be upon him) would say: Verily, my
Lord is angry today as He had never been angry before or would ever be
angry afterwards. He mentioned no sin of his. (He simply said: ) I am
concerned with myself, I am concerned with myself; you go to someone
else: better go to Muhammad (may peace be upon him). They would come to
me and say: O Mahammad, thou art the messenger of Allah and the last of
the apostles. Allah has pardoned thee all thy previous and later sins.
Intercede for us with thy Lord; don't you see in which (trouble) we are?
Don't you see what (misfortune) has overtaken us? I shall then set off
and come below the Throne and fall down prostrate before my Lord; then
Allah would reveal to me and inspire me with some of His Praises and
Glorifications which He had not revealed to anyone before me. He would
then say: Muhammad, raise thy head; ask and it would be granted;
intercede and intercession would be accepted I would then raise my head
and say: O my Lord, my people, my people. It would be said: O Muhammad,
bring in by the right gate of Paradise those of your people who would
have no account to render. They would share with the people some other
door besides this door. The Holy Prophet then said: By Him in Whose Hand
is the life of Muhammad, verify the distance between two door leaves of
the Paradise is as great as between Mecca and Hajar, or as between
Mecca and Busra.
(Book #001, Hadith #0378) |
| (24) Ibn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ordered killing
of the dogs, and then said: What about them, i. e. about other dogs?
and then granted concession (to keep) the dog for hunting and the dog
for (the security) of the herd, and said: When the dog licks the
utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time.
(Book #002, Hadith #0551) |
| (25) Dawud
reported from 'Amir who said: I asked 'Alqama if Ibn Mas'ud was present
with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) on the night of the
Jinn (the night when the Holy Prophet met them). He (Ibn Mas'uad) said:
No, but we were in the company of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) one night and we missed him. We searched for him in the
valleys and the hills and said. He has either been taken away (by jinn)
or has been secretly killed. He (the
narrator) said. We spent the worst night which people could ever spend.
When it was dawn we saw him coming from the side of Hiri'. He (the
narrator) reported. We said: Messenger of Allah, we missed you and
searched for you, but we could not find you and we spent the worst night
which people could ever spend. He (the Holy Prophet) said: There came
to me an inviter on behalf of the Jinn and I went along with him and
recited to them the Qur'an. He (the narrator) said: He then went along
with us and showed us their traces and traces of their embers. They (the
Jinn) asked him (the Holy Prophet) about their provision and he said:
Every bone on which the name of Allah is recited is your provision. The
time it will fall in your hand it would be covered with flesh, and the
dung of (the camels) is fodder for your animals. The Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) said: Don't perform istinja with these (things)
for these are the food of your brothers (Jinn).
(Book #004, Hadith #0903) |
| (26) Ma'dan
b. Talha reported: 'Umar b. Khattab, delivered the Friday sermon and he
made a mention of the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) and Abu
Bakr. He (further) said: I saw in a dream that a cock pecked me twice,
and I perceive that my death is near. Some people have suggested me to
appoint my successor. And Allah would not destroy His religion. His
caliphate and that with which He sent His Apostle (may peace be upon
him) If death approaches me soon, the (issue) of Caliphate (would be
decided) by the consent of these six men with whom the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) remained well pleased till his death. And I
know fully well that some people would blame me that I killed
with these very hands of mine some persons who apparently professed
(Islam). And if they do this (blame me) they are the enemies of Allah,
and are non-believers and have gone astray. And I leave not after me
anything which to my mind seems more important than Kalala. And I never
turned towards the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) (for
guidance) more often than this Kalala, and he (the Holy Prophet) was not
annoyed with me on any other (issue) than this: (And he was so
perturbed) that he struck his fingers on my chest and said: Does this
verse. that is at the end of Surat al-Nisa'. which was revealed in the
hot season not suffice you? And if I live longer I would decide this
(problem so clearly) that one who reads the Qur'an, or one who does not
read it, would be able to take (correct), decisions (under its light).
He ('Umar) further said: Allah! I call You witness on these governors of
lands, that I sent them to (the peoples of these lands) so that they
should administer justice amongst them, teach them their religion and
the Sunnah of the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him), and
distribute amongst them the spoils of war and refer to me that which
they find difficult to perform. O people. you eat 'these two plants and
these are onions and garlic. and I find them nothing but repugnant for I
saw that when the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) sensed the
odour of these two from a person in a mosque, he was made to go to
al-Baqi'. So he who eats it should (make its odour) die by cooking it
well.

| (27) Abdullah
(b. 'Umar) reported: The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him)
recited (Surat) al Najm and performed prostration during its recital and
all those who were along with him also prostrated themselves except one
old man who took a handful of pebbles or dust in his palm and lifted it
to his forehead and said: This is sufficient for me. 'Abdullah said: 1
saw that he was later killed in a state of unbelief.

| (28) Anas
b. Malik reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
invoked curse in the morning (prayer) for thirty days upon those who killed
the Companions (of the Holy Prophet) at Bi'r Ma'una. He cursed (the
tribes) of Ri'l, Dhakwan, Lihyan, and Usayya, who had disobeyed Allah
and His Messenger (may peace be upon him). Anas said: Allah the Exalted
and Great revealed (a verse) regarding those who were killed
at Bi'r Ma'una, and we recited it, till it was abrogated later on (and
the verse was like this):, convey to it our people the tidings that we
have met our Lord, and He was pleased with us and we were pleased with
Him".
(Book #004, Hadith #1433) |
| (29) Asim
reported: I asked Anas whether Qunut was observed (by the Holy prophet)
before ruku' or after ruku'. He replied: Before ruku'. I said: People
conceive that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) observed
Qunut after the ruku'. He said: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) observed Qunut (after the ruku' as the people conceive it) for
a mouth invoking curse upon those persons who had killed men among his Companions who were called the reciter (of the Qur'an).
(Book #004, Hadith #1437) |
| (30) 'Asim
reported - I heard Anas saying: Never did I ace the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) so much grieved (at the loss of a) small army as
I saw him grieved at those seventy men who were called" reciters" (and
were killed) at Bi'r Ma'una; and he invoked curse for full one month upon their murderers.
(Book #004, Hadith #1438) |
| (31) Abu
Murra, the freed slave of Umm Hani, daughter of Abu Talib, reported Umm
Hani to be saying: I went to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) on the day of the Conquest of Mecca and found him taking bath, and
Fatimah, his daughter, had provided him privacy with the help of a
cloth. I gave him salutation and he said: Who is she? I said: It is Umm
Hani, daughter of Abu Talib. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Greeting for
Umm Hani. When he had completed the bath, he stood up and observed eight
rak'ahs wrapped up in one cloth. When he turned back (after the
prayer), I said to him: Messenger of Allah, the son of my mother 'Ali b.
Abu Talib is going to kill a
person, Fulan b. Hubaira whom I have given protection. Upon this the
Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) said: We too have given
protection whom you have given protection, O Umm Hani. Umm Hani said: It
was the forenoon (prayer).

| (33) 'Amr
b. 'Abasa Sulami reported: I in the state of the Ignorance (before
embracing Islam) used to think that the people were in error and they
were not on anything (which may be called the right path) and worshipped
the idols. In the meanwhile I heard of a man in Mecca who was giving
news (on the basis of his prophetic knowledge) ; so I sat on my ride and
went to him. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) was at that
time hiding as his people had made life hard for him. I adopted a
friendly attitude (towards the Meccans and thus managed) to enter Mecca
and go to him (the Holy Prophet) and I said to him: Who are you? He
said: I am a Prophet (of Allah). I again said: Who is a Prophet? He
said: (I am a Prophet in the sense that) I have been sent by Allah. I
said: What is that which you have been sent with? He said: I have been
sent to join ties of relationship (with kindness and affection), to
break the Idols, and to proclaim the oneness of Allah (in a manner that)
nothing is to be associated with Him. I said: Who is with you in this
(in these beliefs and practices)? He said: A free man and a slave. He
(the narrator) said: Abu Bakr and Bilal were there with him among those
who had embraced Islam by that time. I said: I intend to follow you. He
said: During these days you would not be able to do so. Don't you see
the (hard) condition under which I and (my) people are living? You
better go back to your people and when you hear that I have been granted
victory, you come to me. So I went to my family. I was in my home when
the Messengerof Allah (may peace be upon him) came to Medina. I was
among my people and used to seek news and ask people when he arrived in
Medina. Then a group of people belonging to Yathrib (Medina) came. I
said (to them): How is that person getting on who has come to Medina?
They said: The people are hastening to him, while his people (the
polytheists of Mecca) planned to kill
him, but they could not do so. I (on hearing It) came to Medina and
went to him and said: Messenger of Allah, do you recognise me? He said:
Yes, you are the same man who met me at Mecca. I said: It is so. I again
said: Prophet of Allah, tell me that which Allah has taught you and
which I do not know, tell me about the prayer. He said: Observe the dawn
prayer, then stop praying when the sun is rising till it Is fully up,
for when it rises it comes up between the horns of Satan, and the
unbelievers prostrate themselves to it at that time. Then pray, for the
prayer is witnessed and attended (by angels) till the shadow becomes
about the length of a lance; then cease prayer, for at that time Hell is
heated up. Then when the shadow moves forward, pray, for the prayer is
witnessed and attended by angels, till you pray the afternoon prayer,
then cease prayer till the sun sets, for it sets between the horns of
devil, and at that time the unbelievers prostrate themselves before it. I
said: Apostle of Allah, tell me about ablution also. He said: None of
you who uses water for ablution and rinses his mouth, snuffs up water
and blows it, but the sins of his face, and his mouth and his nostrils
fall out. When he washes his face, as Allah has commanded him, the sins
of his face fall out from the end of his beard with water. Then (when)
he washes his forearms up to the elbows, the sins of his arms fall out
along with water from his finger-tips. And when he wipes his head, the
sins of his head fall out from the points of his hair along with water.
And (when) he washes his feet up to the ankles, the sins of his feet
fall out from his toes along with water. And if he stands to pray and
praises Allah, lauds Him and glorifies Him with what becomes Him and
shows wholehearted devotion to Allah, his sins would depart leaving him
(as innocent) as he was on the day his mother bore him. 'Amr b. 'Abasa
narrated this hadith to Abu Umama, a Companion of the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him), and Abu Umama said to him: 'Amr b. 'Abasa,
think what you are saying that such (a great reward) is given to a man
at one place (only in the act of ablution and prayer). Upon this 'Amr
said: Abu Umama, I have grown old and my bones have become weak and I am
at the door of death; what impetus is there for me to attribute a lie
to Allah and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)? Had I heard
it from the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) once, twice, or
three times (even seven times), I would have never narrated it, but I
have heard it from him on occasions more than these.
(Book #004, Hadith #1812) |
| (34) Jabir
reported: We fought In the company of the Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) with the tribe of Juhaina. They fought with us terribly.
When we had finished the noon prayer, the polytheists said: Had we
attacked them at once. we would have killed
them. Gabriel informed the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
about It (about their evil design). The Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) made a mention of it to us, adding that they (the
polytheists) had also said: Shortly there would be time for the 'Asr
prayer. which is dearer o them (the Muslims) than even their children.
So when the time of the 'Asr prayer came. we formed ourselves into two
rows, while the polytheists were between us and the Qibla. The Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Allah is Most Great, and we also
said so. He bowed and we also bowed. He went down in prostration and
the first row prostrated along with him. When they stood up, the second
row went down in prostration. Then the first row went into the rear, and
the second row came in the front and occupied the place of the first
row. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) then said: Allah is
Most Great, and we also said so. He then bowed, and we also bowed. He
then went down in prostration and along with him the row also (went down
in prostration), and the second row remained standing. And when the
second row had also prostrated and all of them sat down then the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) pronounced salutation to
them. Abu Zubair said: Jabir made a mention specially of this thing:
just as your chiefs observe prayer.
(Book #004, Hadith #1827) |
| (35) Hisham
narrated on the authority of his father that it was mentioned to
'A'isha that Ibn 'Umar had narrated as marfu' hadith from the Apostle of
Allah (may peace be upon him) that the dead would be punished in the
grave because of the lamentation of his family for him. Upon this she
said: He (Ibn 'Umar) missed (the point). The Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) had (in fact) said: He (the dead) is punished for his
faults or for his sins, and the members of his family are wailing for
him now. (This misunderstanding of Ibn 'Umar is similar to his saying: )
The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) stood by the well in
which were lying the dead bodies of those polytheists who had been killed
on the Day of Badr, and he said to them what he had to say, i. e.: They
hear what I say. But he (Ibn 'Umar) misunderstood. The Holy Prophet
(may peace be upon him) had only said: They (the dead) understand that
what I used to say to them was truth. She then recited:" Certainly, thou
canst not make the dead hear the call" (xxvii. 80), nor can you make
those hear who are in the graves, nor can you inform them when they have
taken their seats in Hell.
(Book #004, Hadith #2027) |
| (36) 'A'isha
reported that when the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) was
told that Ibn Haritha, Ja'far b. Abu Talib and Abdullah b. Rawaha were killed,
he sat down, showing signs of grief. She (further) said: I was looking
(at him) through the crevice of the door. A man came to him and
mentioned that Ja'far's women were lamenting. He (the Holy Prophet)
commanded him to go and forbid them (to do so). So he went away but came
back and told (him) that they did not obey (him). He commanded him a
second time to go and forbid them (to do so). He again went but came
back to him and said: I swear by God, Messenger of Allah, that they have
overpowered us. She ('A'isha) said that she thought the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) had told (her) to throw dust in their
mouths. Thereupon 'A'isha said: May Allah humble you! You did not do
what Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered you, nor did you
stop annoying Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him).
(Book #004, Hadith #2034) |
| (37) Khabbab
al-Aratt reported: We migrated with the Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) in the path of Allah seeking Allah's pleasure alone. Thus
our reward was assured with Allah. And amongst us were those who spent
life (in such a state of piety and austerity) that nothing consumed
their reward. Mus'ab b. 'Umair was one of them. He was killed
on the Day of Uhud, and nothing but a woollen cloak was found to shroud
him. When we covered his head with it, his feet became uncovered, and
when we covered his feet, his head was uncovered. Upon this the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Place it (this cloak)
on the side of his head and cover his feet with grass. And there is one
amongst us for whom the fruit is ripened and he enjoys it.
(Book #004, Hadith #2050) |
| (38) Jabir b. Samura reported: (The dead body) of a person who had killed
himself with a broad-headed arrow was brought before the Apostle of
Allah (may peace be upon him), but he did not offer prayers for him. (Book #004, Hadith #2133) |
| (39) Abu
Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) stood up and addressed the people thus: 0 people, by Allah, I do
not entertain fear about you in regard to anything else than that which
Allah would bring forth for you in the form of adornment of the world. A
person said: Messenger of Allah, does good produce evil? The Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) remained silent for a while and he then
said: What did you say? He replied: Messenger of Allah, I said: Does
good produce evil? The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said
to him: The good does not produce but good. but among the plants the
spring rain produces There some which kill with a tremour or nearly kill
all but the animal which feeds on vegetation. It eats and when its
flanks are distended, it faces the can. then when it has donged or
urinated and chewed it returns and eats. He who accepts wealth rightly,
Allah confers blessing on it for him. and he who takes wealth without
any right, he is like one who eats and is not satisfied.
(Book #005, Hadith #2288) |
| (40) Abu
Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) had said: The most dreadful thing I fear in your case is what
Allah brings forth for you in the form of the adornment of the world.
They (the Prophet's Com panions) said: Messenger of Allah, what is the
adornment of the world? He said: Blessings (the natural resources) of
the earth. They (again) said: Messenger of Allah, does good produce
evil? He said: No, only good comes out of good. No, only good comes out
of good. No. only good comes out of good. All that which the spring rain
helps to grow kills or is about to kill
but (the animal) which feeds on vegetation. It eats and when its flanks
are distended, it faces the sun, it chews the cud, it has dunged and
urinated. it returns and eats. This wealth is green and sweet, and he
who accepts it and applies it rightly, finds it a good help, but he who
takes it wrongfully is like one who eats without being satisfied.
(Book #005, Hadith #2289) |
| (41) Abu
Said al-Khudri reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
was sitting on the pulpit and we were sitting around him, and he said:
What I am afraid of in regard to you after my death is that there would
be opened for you the adornments of the world and its beauties. A person
said: Messenger of Allah, does good produce evil? The Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) remained silent. And it was said to him
(the man who had asked the question from the Holy Prophet): What Is the
matter with you, that you speak with the Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) but he does not speak with you? We thought as if revelation
was descending upon him. He regained himself and wiped the sweat from
him and said: He was the inquirer (and his style of expression showed as
if he praised him and then added): Verily good does not produce evil.
Whatever the spring rainfall causes to grow kills or is about to kill,
but that (animal) which feeds on vegetation. It eats till its flanks
are filled; it faces the sun and dungs and urinates. and then returns to
eat. And this Wealth is a sweet vegetation, and it is a good companion
for a Muslim who gives out of it to the needy, to the orphan. to the
wayfarer, or something like that as the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) said: He who takes it without his right is like one who eats
but does not feel satisfied, and it would stand witness against him on
the Day of judgment.
(Book #005, Hadith #2290) |
| (42) Jabir
b. Abdullah reported that a person came to the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) at Jirana on his way back from Hunain, and there was
in the clothes of Bilal some silver. The Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) took a handful out of that and bestowed it upon the people.
He (the person who had met the Prophet at Ji'rana) said to him:
Muhammad, do justice. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Woe be upon thee, who
would do justice if I do not do justice, and you would be very
unfortunate and a loser if I do not do justice. Upon this Umar b.
Khattab (Allah be pleased with him) said: Permit me to kill this hypocrite. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: May there be protection of Allah! People would say that I kill
my companions. This man and his companions would recite the Qur'an but
it would not go beyond their throat, and they swerve from it just as the
arrow goes through the prey.
(Book #005, Hadith #2316) |
| (43) Abu
Said Khudri reported that 'Ali (Allah be pleased with him) sent some
gold alloyed with dust to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him), and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) distributed
that among four men, al-Aqra b. Habis Hanzali and Uyaina b. Badr
al-Fazari and 'Alqama b. 'Ulatha al-'Amiri, then to one person of the
tribe of Kilab and to Zaid al-Khair al-Ta'l, and then to one person of
the tribe of Nabhan. Upon this the people of Quraish felt angry and
said: He (the Holy Prophet) gave to the chiefs of Najd and ignored us.
Upon this the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: I have
done it with a view to con- cillating them. Then there came a person
with thick beard, prominent cheeks, deep sunken eyes and protruding
forehead and shaven head. He said: Muhammad, fear Allah. Upon this the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: If I disobey Allah, who
would then obey Him? Have I not been (sent as the) most trustworthy
among the people of the-world? -but you do not repose trust in me. That
person then went back. A person among the people then sought permission
(from the Holy Prophet) for his murder. According to some, it was Khalid
b. Walid who sought the permission. Upon this the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him), said: From this very person's posterity there
would arise people who would recite the Qur'an, but it would not go
beyond their throat; they would kill
the followers of Islam and would spare the idol-worshippers. They would
glance through the teachings of Islam so hurriedly just as the arrow
passes through the pray. If I were to ever find them I would kill them like 'Ad.
(Book #005, Hadith #2318) |
| (44) Abu
Said al-Khudri reported: 'Ali b. Abu Talib sent to the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) from Yemen some gold alloyed with clay in a
leather bag dyed in the leaves of Mimosa flava. He distributed it among
four men. 'Uyaina b. Hisna, Aqra' b. Habis and Zaid al-Khail, and the
fourth one was either Alqama b. 'Ulatha or 'Amir b. Tufail. A person
from among his (Prophet's) Companions said: We had a better claim to
this (wealth) than these (persons). This (remark) reached the Apostle of
Allah (may peace be upon him) upon which he said: Will you not trust
me, whereas I am a trustee of Him Who is in the heaven? The news come to
me from the heaven morning and evening. Then there stood up a person
with deep snnken eyes, prominent cheek bones, and elevated forehead,
thick beard, shaven head, tucked up loin cloth, and he said: Messenger
of Allah, fear Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Woe to thee. do I not
deserve most to fear Allah amongst the people of the earth? That man
then returned. Khalid b. Walid then said: Messenger of Allah, should I
not strike his neck? Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: Perhaps he
may be observing the prayer. Khalid said: How many observers of prayer
are there who profess with their tongue what is not in their heart? Upon
this the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: I have not
been commanded to pierce through the hearts of people, nor to split
their bellies (insides). He again looked at him and he was going back.
Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: There would arise a people from
the progeny of this (man) who would recite the Qur'an glibly, but it
would not go beyond their throats; they would (hurriedly) pass through
(the teachings of their) religion just as the arrow passes through the
prey. I conceive that he (the Holy Prophet) also said this: If I find
them I would certainly kill them as were killed the (people of) Thamud.
(Book #005, Hadith #2319) |
| (45) This
hadith has been narrated through another chain of transmitters and (the
narrator) made a mention of elevated forehead, but he made no mention
of tucked-up loin cloth and made this addition:" There stood up 'Umar b.
Khattab (Allah be pleased with him), and said: Should I not strike his
neck? Upon this he said: No. Then he turned away, and Khalid the Sword
of Allah stood up against him, and said: Prophet of Allah. shall I not
strike off his neck? He said, No, and then said: A people would rise
from his progeny who would recite the Book of Allah glibly and fluently.
'Umar said: I think he (the Holy Prophet) also said this: If I find
them I would certainly kill them like Thamud."
(Book #005, Hadith #2320) |

| (47) Abu
Sa'id al-Khudri said that the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him)
made a mention of a sect that would be among his Ummah which would
emerge out of the dissension of the people. Their distinctive mark would
be shaven heads. They would be the worst creatures or the worst of the
creatures. The group who would be nearer to the truth out of the two
would kill them. The Apostle of
Allah (may peace be upon him) gave an example (to give their
description) or he said: A man throws an arrow at the prey (or he said
at the target), and sees at its iron head, but finds no sign (of blood
there), or he sees at the lowest end, but would not see or find any sign
(of blood there). He would then see into the grip but would not find
(anything) sticking to it. Abu Sai'd then said: People of Iraq. it is
you who have killed them.
(Book #005, Hadith #2324) |
| (48) Abu
Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) said: A group would secede itself (from the Ummah) when there
would be dissension among the Muslims. Out of the two groups who would
be nearer the truth would kill them.
(Book #005, Hadith #2325) |
| (49) Abu
Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as
saying: There would be two groups in my Ummah, and there would emerge
another group (seceding itself from both of them), and the party nearer
to the truth among the two would kill them (the group of the Khwarij).
(Book #005, Hadith #2326) |
| (50) Abu
Sa'id al-Khudri reported from the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon
him) that a group (Khwarij) would emerge from the different parties (the
party of Hadrat 'Ali and the party of Amir Mu'awiya), the group nearer
the truth between the two would kill them.
(Book #005, Hadith #2327) |
| (51) 'Ali
said: Whenever I narrate to you anything from the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) believe it to be absolutely true as falling from
the sky is dearer to me than that of attributing anything to him (the
Holy Prophet) which he never said. When I talk to you of anything which
is between me and you (there might creep some error in it) for battle is
an outwitting. I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
as saying: There would arise at the end of the age a people who would be
young in age and immature in thought, but they would talk (in such a
manner) as if their words are the best among the creatures. They would
recite the Qur'an, but it would not go beyond their throats, and they
would pass through the religion as an arrow goes through the prey. So
when you meet them, kill them, for in their killing you would get a reward with Allah on the Day of judgmelat.
(Book #005, Hadith #2328) |
| (52) 'Abida
narrated from 'Ali that he made a mention of the Khwarij (and in this
connection) said that there would be a person among them with a
defective hand. (or with a short hand) or a fleshy hand. If you were to
exercise restraint, I would tell you what Allah has promised to those
who would kill them on the order of
Mubarrmad (may peace be upon him). I (the narrator) said to him: Did you
hear it from Muhammad: (may peace be upon him)? He (Hadrat 'Ali) said:
Yes, by the Lord of the Ka'ba; Yes, by the Lord of the Ka'ba; yes, by
the Lord of the Ka'ba.
(Book #005, Hadith #2331) |
| (53) Zaid
b. Wahb Jahani reported and he was among the squadron which wall under
the command of Ali (Allah be pleased with him) and which set out (to
curb the activities) of the Khwarij. 'Ali (Allah be pleased with him)
said: 0 people, I heard the Messeinger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
say: There would arise from my Ummah a people who would recite the
Qur'an, and your recital would seem insignificant as compared with their
recital, your prayer as compared with their prayer, arid your fast, as
compared with their fast. They would recite the Qur'an thinking that it
sup- ports them, whereas it is an evidence against them. Their prayer
does not get beyond their collar bone; they would swerve through Islam
just as the arrow passes through the prey. If the squadron which is to
encounter them were to know (what great boon) has been assured to them
by their Apostle (may peace be upon him) they would completely rely upon
this deed (alone and cease to do other good deeds), and their (that of
the Khwarij) distinctive mark is that there would be (among them) a
person whose wrist would be without the arm, and the end of his wrist
would be fleshy like the nipple of the breast on which there would be
white hair. You would be marching towards Muawiya and the people of
Syria and you would leave them behind among your children and your
property (to do harm). By Allah, I believe that these are the people
(against whom you have been commanded to fight and get reward) for they
have shed forbidden blood, and raided the animals of the people. So go
forth in the name of Allah (to fight against them). Salama b. Kuhail
mentioned that Zaid b. Wahb made me alight at every stage, till we
crossed a bridge. 'Abdullah b. Wahb al-Rasibi was at the head of the
Khwarij when we encountered them. He ('Abdullah) said to his army: Throw
the spears and draw out your swords from their sheaths, for I fear that
they would attack you as they attacked you on the day of Harura. They
went back and threw their spears and drew out their swords, and people
fought against them with spears and they were killed one after another. Only two persons were killed
among the people (among the army led by Hadrat 'Ali) on that day. 'Ali
(Allah be pleased with him) said: Find out from among them (the dead
bodies of the Khwarij) (the maimed). They searched but did not find him.
'Ali (Allah be pleased with him) then himself stood up and (walked)
till he came to the people who had been killed
one after another. He ('Ali) said: Search them to the last, and then
('Ali's companions) found him (the dead body of the maimed) near the
earth. He (Hadrat 'Ali) then pronounced Allah-O-Akbar (Allah is the
Greatest) and then said, Allah told the Truth and His Messenger (may
peace be upon him) conveyed it. Then there stood before him 'Abida
Salmani who said: Commander of the Believers, by Allah, besides Whom
there is no god but He, (tell me) whether you heard this hadith from the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). He said: Yes, by Allah,
besides Whom there is no god but He. He asked him to take an oath thrice
and he took the oath.

b. Abu Rafi', the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him), said: When Haruria (the Khwarij) set out and as he was with
'Ali b. Abu Talib (Allah be pleased with him) they said," There is no
command but that of Allah." Upon this 'Ali said: The statement is true
but it is intentionally applied (to support) a wrong (cause). The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him described their
characteristics and I found these characteristics in them. They state
the truth with their tongue, but it does not go beyond this part of
their bodies (and the narrator pointed towards his throat). The most
hateful among the creation of Allah us one black man among them
(Khwarij). One of his hand is like the teat of a goat or the nipple of
the breast. When 'Ali b. Abu Talib (Allah be pleased with him) killed
them, he said: Search (for his dead body). They searched for him, but
they did not find it (his dead body). Upon this he said: Go (and search
for him). By Allah, neither I have spoken a lie nor has the lie been
spoken to me. 'Ali said this twice and thrice. They then found him (the
dead body) in a rain. They brought (his dead) body till they placed it
before him (Hadrat 'Ali). 'Ubaidullah said: And, I was present at (that
place) when this happened and when 'Ali said about them. A person
narrated to me from Ibn Hanain that he said: I saw that black man.

| (55) Abu
Qatada reported: We went with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) till we reached al-Qaha (a place three stages away from Medina).
Some of us were in the state of Ihram and some of us were not. I saw my
companions looking towards something, and as I saw I found It to be a
wild ass. I saddled my horse and took up my spear and then mounted upon
(the horse) and my whip, fell down. I said to my companions as they were
in the state of Ihram to pick up the whip for me but they said: By
Allah, we cannot help you in any (such) thing (i. e. hunting). So i dis-
mounted (the horse) and picked it (whip) up and mounted again and
caught the wild ass after chasing it. It was behind a hillock and I
attacked it with my spear and killed
it. Then I brought it to my companions. Some of them said: Eat it,
while others said: Do not eat it. The Apostle of Allah (may peace be
upon him) was in front of us. I moved my horse and came to him (and
asked him), whereupon he said: It is permis- sible, so eat it.

| (56) Abu
Qatada (Allah be pleased with him) reported that while he was with the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) on one of the highways of
Mecca, he lagged behind him (the Holy Prophet) along with companions who
were in the state of Ihram, whereas he was himself not Muhrim. He saw a
wild ass. As he was mounting his horse he asked his companions to pick
up for him his whip (which had dropped) but they refused to do so. He
asked them to hand him over the spear, but they refused. He then himself
took hold of it and chased the wild ass and killed
it. Some of the Companions of the Apostle of Allah (way peace be upon
him) ate (its meat), but some of them refused to do so. They overtook
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and asked him about it,
and he said: It is a food which Allah provided you (so eat it).
(Book #007, Hadith #2708) |
| (57) 'Abdullah
b. Abu Qatada reported: My father went with the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) in the year of Hudaibiya. His Companions entered
upon the state of Ihram whereas he did not, for it was conveyed to the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) that the enemy (was hiding
at) Ghaiqa. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) went forward.
He (Abu Qatada) said: Meanwhile I was along with his Companions, some
of them smiled (to one another) As I cast a glance I saw a wild ass. I
attacked It with a spear and held it, and begged for their (i. e. of his
companions) assistance, but they refused to help me and we ate its
meat. But we were afraid lest we should be separated (from the Messenger
of Allah). So I proceeded on (with a view to) seeking the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him). Some- times I'dashed my horse and
sometimes I made it run at a leisurely pace (keeping pace with others).
(In the meanwhile) I met a person from Banfu Ghifar in the middle of the
night. I said to him: Where did you meet the messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him)? He said: I left him at Ta'bin and he intended to
halt at Suqya to spend the afternoon. I met him and said: Messenger of
Allah. your Companions convey salutations and benedictions of Allah to
you and they fear that they may not be separated from you (and the enemy
may do harm to you), so wait for them, and he (the Holy Prophet) waited
for them. I said: Messenger of Allah, I killed
a game and there is left with me (some of the meat). The Apostle of
Allah (may peace be upon him) said to his people: Eat it. And they were
in the state of Ihram.

| (73) Ja'far
b Muhammad reported on the authority of his father: We went to Jabir b.
Abdullah and he began inquiring about the people (who had gone to see
him) till it was my turn. I said: I am Muhammad b. 'Ali b. Husain. He
placed his hand upon my head and opened my upper button and then the
lower one and then placed his palm on my chest (in order to bless me),
and I was, during those days, a young boy, and he said: You are welcome,
my nephew. Ask whatever you want to ask. And I asked him but as he was
blind (he could not respond to me immediately), and the time for prayer
came. He stood up covering himself in his mantle. And whenever he placed
its ends upon his shoulders they slipped down on account of being short
(in size). Another mantle was, however, lying on the clothes rack near
by. And he led us in the prayer. I said to him: Tell me about the Hajj
of Allah's Messenger (May peace be upon him). And he pointed with his
hand nine, and then stated: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) stayed in (Medina) for nine years but did not perform Hajj, then he
made a public announcement in the tenth year to the effect that Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) was about to perform the Hajj. A
large number of persons came to Medina and all of them were anxious to
follow the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) and do according
to his doing. We set out with him till we reached Dhu'l-Hulaifa. Asma'
daughter of Umais gave birth to Muhammad b. Abu Bakr. She sent message
to the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) asking him: What
should 1 do? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Take a bath, bandage your
private parts and put on Ihram. The Messenger of Allah (May peace be
upon him) then prayed in the mosque and then mounted al-Qaswa (his
she-camel) and it stood erect with him on its back at al-Baida'. And I
saw as far as I could see in front of me but riders and pedestrians, and
also on my right and on my left and behind me like this. And the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) was prominent among us and
the (revelation) of the Holy Qur'an was descending upon him. And it is
he who knows (its true) significance. And whatever he did, we also did
that. He pronounced the Oneness of Allah (saying):" Labbaik,0 Allah,
Labbaik, Labbaik. Thou hast no partner, praise and grace is Thine and
the Sovereignty too; Thou hast no partner." And the people also
pronounced this Talbiya which they pronounce (today). The Messenger of
Allah (May peace be upon him) did not reject anything out of it. But the
Messenger of Allah (May peace. be upon him) adhered to his own Talbiya.
Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) said: We did not have any other
intention but that of Hajj only, being unaware of the Umra (at that
season), but when we came with him to the House, he touched the pillar
and (made seven circuits) running three of them and walking four. And
then going to the Station of Ibrahim, he recited:" And adopt the Station
of Ibrahim as a place of prayer." And this Station was between him and
the House. My father said (and I do not know whether he had made a
mention of it but that was from Allah's Apostle [May peace be upon him]
that he recited in two rak'ahs:" say: He is Allah One," and say:" Say: 0
unbelievers." He then returned to the pillar (Hajar Aswad) and kissed
it. He then went out of the gate to al-Safa' and as he reached near it
he recited:" Al-Safa' and al-Marwa are among the signs appointed by
Allah," (adding: ) I begin with what Allah (has commanded me) to begin.
He first mounted al-Safa' till he saw the House, and facing Qibla he
declared the Oneness of Allah and glorified Him, and said:" There is no
god but Allah, One, there is no partner with Him. His is the
Sovereignty. to Him praise is due. and He is Powerful over everything.
There is no god but Allah alone, Who fulfilled His promise, helped His
servant and routed the confederates alone." He then made supplication in
the course of that saying such words three times. He then descended and
walked towards al-Marwa, and when his feet came down in the bottom of
the valley, he ran, and when he began to ascend he walked till he
reached al-Marwa. There he did as he had done at al-Safa'. And when it
was his last running at al-Marwa he said: If I had known beforehand what
I have come to know afterwards, I would not have brought sacrificial
animals and would have performed an 'Umra. So, he who among you has not
the sacrificial animals with him should put off Ihram and treat it as an
Umra. Suraqa b. Malik b. Ju'sham got up and said: Messenger of Allah,
does it apply to the present year, or does it apply forever? Thereupon
the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) intertwined the fingers
(of one hand) into another and said twice: The 'Umra has become
incorporated in the Hajj (adding):" No, but for ever and ever." 'All
came from the Yemen with the sacrificial animals for the Prophet (May
peace be upon him) and found Fatimah (Allah be pleased with her) to be
one among those who had put off Ihram and had put on dyed clothes and
had applied antimony. He (Hadrat'Ali) showed disapproval to it,
whereupon she said: My father has commanded me to do this. He (the
narrator) said that 'Ali used to say in Iraq: I went to the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) showing annoyance at Fatimah for what she
had done, and asked the (verdict) of Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) regarding what she had narrated from him, and told him that I
was angry with her, whereupon he said: She has told the truth, she has
told the truth. (The Holy Prophet then asked 'Ali): What did you say
when you undertook to go for Hajj? I ('Ali) said: 0 Allah, I am putting
on Ihram for the same purpose as Thy Messenger has put it on. He said: I
have with me sacrificial animals, so do not put off the Ihram. He
(Jabir) said: The total number of those sacrificial animals brought by
'Ali from the Yemen and of those brought by the Apostle (may peace be
upon him) was one hundred. Then all the people except the Apostle (may
peace be upon him) and those who had with them sacrificial animals, put
off Ihram, and got their hair clipped; when it was the day of Tarwiya
(8th of Dhu'l-Hijja) they went to Mina and put on the Ihram for Hajj and
the Messenger of Ailah (may peace be upon him) rode and led the noon,
afternoon, sunset 'Isha' and dawn prayers. He then waited a little till
the sun rose, and commanded that a tent of hair should be pitched at
Namira. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) then set out and
the Quraish did not doubt that he would halt at al-Mash'ar al-Haram (the
sacred site) as the Quraish used to do in the pre-Islamic period. The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), however, passed on till he
came to 'Arafa and he found that the tent had been pitched for him at
Namira. There he got down till the sun had passed the meridian; he
commanded that al-Qaswa should be brought and saddled for him. Then he
came to the bottom of the valley, and addressed the people saying:
Verily your blood, your property are as sacred and inviolable as the
sacredness of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this town of
yours. Behold! Everything pertaining to the Days of Ignorance is under
my feet completely abolished. Abolished are also the blood-revenges of
the Days of Ignorance. The first claim of ours on blood-revenge which I
abolish is that of the son of Rabi'a b. al-Harith, who was nursed among
the tribe of Sa'd and killed by
Hudhail. And the usury of she pre-Islamic period is abolished, and the
first of our usury I abolish is that of 'Abbas b. 'Abd al-Muttalib, for
it is all abolished. Fear Allah concerning women! Verily you have taken
them on the security of Allah, and intercourse with them has been made
lawful unto you by words of Allah. You too have right over them, and
that they should not allow anyone to sit on your bed whom you do not
like. But if they do that, you can chastise them but not severely. Their
rights upon you are that you should provide them with food and clothing
in a fitting manner. I have left among you the Book of Allah, and if
you hold fast to it, you would never go astray. And you would be asked
about me (on the Day of Resurrection), (now tell me) what would you say?
They (the audience) said: We will bear witness that you have conveyed
(the message), discharged (the ministry of Prophethood) and given wise
(sincere) counsel. He (the narrator) said: He (the Holy Prophet) then
raised his forefinger towards the sky and pointing it at the people
(said):" O Allah, be witness. 0 Allah, be witness," saying it thrice.
(Bilal then) pronounced Adhan and later on Iqama and he (the Holy
Prophet) led the noon prayer. He (Bilal) then uttered Iqama and he (the
Holy Prophet) led the afternoon prayer and he observed no other prayer
in between the two. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) then
mounted his camel and came to the place of stay, making his she-camel
al-Qaswa, turn towards the side where there we are rocks, having the
path taken by those who went on foot in front of him, and faced the
Qibla. He kept standing there till the sun set, and the yellow light had
somewhat gone, and the disc of the sun had disappeared. He made Usama
sit behind him, and he pulled the nosestring of Qaswa so forcefully that
its head touched the saddle (in order to keep her under perfect
control), and he pointed out to the people with his right hand to be
moderate (in speed), and whenever he happened to pass over an elevated
tract of sand, he slightly loosened it (the nose-string of his camel)
till she climbed up and this is how he reached al-Muzdalifa. There he
led the evening and 'Isha prayers with one Adhan and two Iqamas and did
not glorify (Allah) in between them (i. e. he did not observe
supererogatory rak'ahs between Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers). The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) then lay down till dawn and
offered the dawn prayer with an Adhan and Iqama when the morning light
was clear. He again mounted al-Qaswa, and when he came to al-Mash'ar
al-Haram, he faced towards Qibla, supplicated Him, Glorified Him, and
pronounced His Uniqueness (La ilaha illa Allah) and Oneness, and kept
standing till the daylight was very clear. He then went quickly before
the sun rose, and seated behind him was al-Fadl b. 'Abbas and he was a
man having beautiful hair and fair complexion and handsome face. As the
Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) was moving on, there was also
going a group of women (side by side with them). Al-Fadl began to look
at them. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) placed his hand
on the face of Fadl who then turned his face to the other side, and
began to see, and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) turned
his hand to the other side and placed it on the face of al-Fadl. He
again turned his face to the other side till he came to the bottom of
Muhassir. 1680 He urged her (al-Qaswa) a little, and, following the
middle road, which comes out at the greatest jamra, he came to the jamra
which is near the tree. At this be threw seven small pebbles, saying
Allah-o-Akbar while throwing every one of them in a manner in which the
small pebbles are thrown (with the help of fingers) and this he did in
the bottom of the valley. He then went to the place of sacrifice, and
sacrificed sixty-three (camels) with his own hand. Then he gave the
remaining number to 'All who sacrificed them, and he shared him in his
sacrifice. He then commanded that a piece of flesh from each animal
sacrificed should be put in a pot, and when it was cooked, both of them
(the Holy Prophet and Hadrat 'All) took some meat out of it and drank
its soup. The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) again rode and
came to the House, and offered the Zuhr prayer at Mecca. He came to the
tribe of Abd al-Muttalib, who were supplying water at Zamzam, and said:
Draw water. O Bani 'Abd al-Muttalib; were it not that people would usurp
this right of supplying water from you, I would have drawn it along
with you. So they handed him a basket and he drank from it.
(Book #007, Hadith #2803) |
| (74) 'Ata'
reported: The House was burnt during the time of Yazid b. Muawiya when
the people of Syria had fought (in Mecca). And it happened with it (the
Ka'ba) what was (in store for it). Ibn Zubair (Allah be pleased with
him) felt it (in the same state) until the people came in the season (of
Hajj). (The idea behind was) that he wanted to exhort them or incite
them (to war) against the people of Syria. When the people had arrived
he said to them: O people, advise me about the Ka'ba. Should I demolish
it and then build it from its very foundation, or should I repair
whatever has been damaged of it? Ibn 'Abbas said: An idea has occurred
to me according to which I think that you should only repair (the
portion which has been) damaged, and leave the House (in that very state
in which) people embraced Islam (and leave those very stones in the
same state) when people embraced Islam, and over which Allah's Apostle
(may peace be upon him) had raised it. Thereupon Ibn Zubair said: It the
house of any one of you is burnt, he would not be contented until he
had reconstructed it, then what about the House of your Lord (which is
far more Important than your house)? I would seek good advice from my
Lord thrice and then I would make up (my mind) about this affair. After
seeking good advice thrice, he made up his mind to demolish it. The
people apprehended that calamity might fall from heaven on those persons
who would be first to climb (over the building for the purpose of
demolishing it), till one (took up courage, and ascended the roof), and
threw down one of its stones. When the people saw no calamity befalling
him, they followed him, demolished it until it was razed to the ground.
Then Ibn Zubair erected pillars and hung cartains on them (in order to
provide facilities to the people for observing the time of its
construction). And the walls were raised; and Ibn Zubair said: I heard
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) say that Allah's Apostle (may peace
be upon him) had observed: If the people had Rot recently (abandoned)
unbelief, find I had means enough to reconstruct it, which I had not, I
would have definitely excompassed in it five cubits of area from Hijr.
And I would also have constructed a door for the people to enter, and a
door for their exit. I today have (the means to spend) and I entertain
no fearfrom the side of people (that they would protest against this
change). So he added five cubits of area from the side of Hatim to it
that there appeared (the old) foundation (upon which Hadrat Ibrahim had
built the Ka'ba). and the people saw that and it was upon this
foundation that the wall was raised. The length of the Ka'ba was
eighteen cubits. when addition was made to it (which was in its
breadth), then naturally the length appears to be) small (as compared
with its breadth). Then addition of ten cubits (of area) was made in its
length (also). Two doors were also constructed, one of which (was
meant) for entrance and the other one for exit. When Ibn Zubair (Allah
be pleased with him) was killed,
Hajjaj wrote to 'Abd al-Malik (b. Marwan) informing him about it, and
telling him that Ibn Zubair (Allah be pleased with him) had built (the
Ka'ba) on those very foundations (which were laid by Ibrahim) and which
reliable persons among the Meccans had seen. 'Abd al-Malik wrote to him:
We are not concerned with the censuring of Ibn Zubair in anything. Keep
intact the addition made by him in the side of length, and whatever he
has added frem the side of Hijr revert to (its previous) foundation, and
wall up the door which he had opened. Thus Hajjaj at the command of Abd
al-Malik) demolished it (that portion) and rebuilt it on (its previous)
foundations.
(Book #007, Hadith #3083) |
| (75) A
hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of Mansur, but he
did not mention:" On that very day He created the heavens and the
earth," and he (the narrator) substituted the word" fighting" (qital)
for" killing" (qatl), and further said:" No one is to pick up the dropped thing except one who makes a public announcement of it."
(Book #007, Hadith #3140) |
| (76) Abu
Huraira, (Allah be pleased with him) reported. When Allah, the Exalted
and Majestic, granted Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) victory
over Mecca, he stood before people and praised and extolled Allah and
then said: Verily Allah held back the elephants from Mecca and gave the
domination of it to His Messenger and believers, and it (this territory)
was not violable to anyone before me and it was made violable to me for
an hour of a day, and it shall not be violable to anyone after me. So
neither molest the game, nor weed out thorns from it. And it is not
lawful for anyone to pick up a thing dropped but one who makes public
announcement of it. And it a relative of anyone is killed
he is entitled to opt for one of two things. Either he should be paid
blood-money or he can take life as (a just retribution). 'Abbas (Allah
be pleased with him) said: Allah's Messenger, but Idhkhir (a kind of
herbage), for we use it for our graves and for our houses, whereupon
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: With the exception of
Idhkhir. A person known as Abu Shah, one of the people of Yemen, stood
up and said: Messenger of Allah, (kindly) write it for me. Thereupon
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said I Write it for Abu Shah.
Walid said: I asked al-Auzai': What did his saying mean:" Write it for
me, Messenger of Allah"? He said: This very address that he had heard
from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him).
(Book #007, Hadith #3142) |
| (77) Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported: The people of the Khuza'ah tribe killed a man of the tribe of Laith in the Year of Victory as a retaliation for one whom they had killed (whom the people of the tribe of Laith had killed).
It was reported to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). He
mounted his camel and delivered this address: Verily Allah, the Exalted
and Majestic, held back the Ele- phants from Mecca, and gave its
domination to His Messenger and believers. Behold, it was not violable
for anyone before me and it will not be violable for anyone after me.
Behold, it was made violable for me for an hour of a day; and at this
very hour it has again been made inviolable (for me as well as for
others). So its thorns are not to be cut, its trees are not to be
lopped, and (no one is allowed to) pick up a thing dropped, but the one
who makes an announcement of it. And one whose fellow is killed
is allowed to opt between two alternatives: either he should receive
blood-money or get the life of the (murderer) in return. He (the
narrator said): A person from the Yemen, who was called Abu Shah, came
to him and said: Messenger of Allah, write it down for me, whereupon he
(Allah's Messenger) said: Write it down for Abu Shah. One of the persons
from among the Quraish also said: Except Idhkhir, for we use it in our

b. Malik (Allah be pleased with them) reported that Allah's Apostle
(may peace be upon him) entered Mecca in the Year of Victory with a
helmet on his head; and when he took it off, a man came to him and said:
Ibn Khatal is hanging on to the curtains of the Ka'ba, whereupon he
said: kill him. Malik (one of the narrators) attested this statement having been made.

b. Sa'd reported on the authority of his father (Allah be pleased with
him) that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: I have
declared sacred the territory between the two lava plains of Medina, so
its trees should not be cut down, or its game killed;
and he also said: Medina is best for them if they knew. No one leaves
it through dislike of it without Allah putting in it someone better than
he in place of him; and no one will stay there in spite of its
hardships and distress without my being an intercessor or witness on
behalf of him on the Day of Resurrection.

b. Sa'd al-Sa'idi reported that'Uwaimir al-'Ajlani came to 'Asim b.
'Adi al-Ansari and said to him. Tell me about a person who finds a man
with his wife; should he kill him, and be killed
In retaliation; or how should he act? 'Asim, ask for me (religious
verdict about it) from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). So
'Asim asked Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and he did not
like this question and he disapproved of it so much that'Asim felt
aggrieved at what he had heard from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him). When 'Asim came back to his family, 'Uwaimir came to him and
said: 'Asim, what did Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) say to
you? 'Asim said to 'Uwaimir: You did not bring something good. Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) did not like this religious verdict
that I sought from him. 'Uwaimir said: By Allah, I will not rest until I
have asked him about it. 'Uwaimir proceeded until he came to Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) as he was sitting amidst people, and
said: Messenger of Allah, tell me about a person who found a man with
his wife. Should he kill him, and then you would kill
him, or how should he act? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) said: (Verses) have been revealed concerning you and your
wife; so go and bring her. Sahl said that they both invoked curses (and
further said): I was along with people in the company of Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him). And when they had finished, Uwaimir
said: Allah's Messenger, I shall have told a lie against her if I keep
her (now). So he divorced her with three pronouncements before Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) had commanded him. Ibn Shihab said:
Subsequently that was the practice of invokers of curses (al
Mutala'inain)
(Book #009, Hadith #3553) |
| (81) 'Abdullah
reported: We were on the night of Friday staying in the mosque when a
person from the Ansar came there and said: If a person finds hiswoman
along with a man, and he speaks about it, you would lash him, and if he kills, you will kill
him, and if he keeps quiet he shall have to consume anger. By Allah, I
will definitely ask about him from Allah's Mescenger (may peace be upon
him). On the following day he came to Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) and asked him thus: If a man were to find with his wife a man
and if he were to talk about it, you would lash him; and if he killed, you would kill
him, and if he were to keep quiet. he would consume anger, whereupon he
(the Holy Prophet) said: Allah, solve (this problem), and he began to
supplicate (before Him), and then the verses pertaining to li'an were
revealed:" Those who accuse their wives and have no witnesses except
themselves" (xxiv. 6). The person was then put to test according to
these verses in the presence of the people. There came he and his wife
in the presence of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), and they
invoked curses (in order to testify their claim). The man swore four
times in the name of Allah that he was one of the truthful and then
invoked curse for the fifth time saying: Let there be curse of Allah
upon him if he were among the liars. Then she began to invoke curse.
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to her: just wait (and
curse after considering over it), but she refused and invoked curse and
when she turned away, he (Allah's Apostle) said: It seems that this
woman shall give birth to a curly-haired black child, And so she did
gave birth to a curly-haired black child.

with another person, should he kill
him? Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: No. Sa'd said: Why
not? I swear by Him Who has honoured you with Truth. There upon Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Listen to what your chief says.

Umar) (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered the killing of dogs and we would send (men) in Medina and its corners and we did not spare any dog that we did not kill, so much so that we killed the dog that accompanied the wet she-camel belonging to the people of the desert.

| (86) Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be, upon him) ordered the killing
of dogs except the dog tamed for hunting, or watching of the herd of
sheep or other domestic animals. It was said to Ibn Umar (Allah be
pleased with them) that Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) talks of

Since Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) possessed land.

Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered us to kill dogs, and we carried out this order so much so that we also kill the dog coming with a woman from the desert. Then Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) forbade their killing. He (the Holy Prophet further) said: It is your duty the jet-black (dog) having two spots (on the eyes), for it is a devil.
(Book #010, Hadith #3813) |
| (88) Ibn Mughaffal reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered the killing
of dogs and then said: what is the trouble with them (the people of
Medina)? How dogs are nuisance to them (the citizens of Medina)? He then
permitted keehing of dogs for hunting and (the protection of) herds. In

some of the land belonging to her. She brought this dispute before
Marwan b. al-Hakam. Sa'id said: How could I take a part of her land,
after what I heard from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon'him)? He
(Marwan) said: What did you hear from Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him)? He said: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
say: He who wrongly took a span of land would be made to wear around his
neck seven earths. Marwan said: I do not ask any evidence from you
after this. He (Sa'id) said: O Allah, make her blind if she has told a
lie and kill her in her own land. He
(the narrator) said: She did not die until she had lost her eyesight,
and (one day) as she was walking in her land, she fell down into a pit
and died.

b. Abu Hathma and Rafi' b. Khadij reported that 'Abdullah b. Sahl b.
Zaid and Muhayyisa b. Mas'ud b. Zaid went out and as they reached
Khaibar they were separated. Then Muhayyisa found 'Abdullah b. Sahl
having been killed. He buried him,
and then came to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). They were
Huwayyisa b. Mas'ud and 'Abd al-Rahman b. Sahl, and he (the latter one)
was the youngest of the people (those three who had come to seek an
interview with the Holy Prophet) began to talk before his Companions
(had spoken). Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:
The eldest one (eldest in regard to age should speak). So he kept quiet,
and his companions (Muhayyisa and Huwayyisa) began to speak, and he
('Abd al Rahman) spoke along with them and they narrated to Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) the murder of 'Abdullah b. Sahl.
Thereupon he said to them: Are you prepared to take fifty oaths so that
you may be entitled (to blood-wit) of your companion (or your man who
has murdered)? They said: How can we take an oath on a matter which we
have not witnessed? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Then the Jews will
exonerate themselves by fifty oaths. They said: How can we accept the
oaths of people who are unbelievers? When Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) saw that, he himself paid his blood-wit.

b. Abu Hathma and Rafi' b. Khadij reported that Muhayyisa b. Mas'ud and
'Abdullah b. Sahl went towards Khaibar and they separated near the
palm-trees. 'Abdullah b. Sahl was killed.
They accused the Jews (for this act). And there came to Allah's Apostle
(may peace be upon him) his brother (the brother of the slain person)
'Abd al-Rahman and his cousins Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa; and 'Abd
al-Rahman talked to him about the matter pertaining to (the murder of)
his brother, and he was the youngest among them. Thereupon Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Show regard for the greatness of
the old, or he said: Let the eldest begin speaking. Then they
(Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa) spoke about the matter of their companion
(murder of their cousin, 'Abdullah b. Sahl). Thereupon Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) said: Let fifty (persons) among you take oath
for levelling the charge (of murder) against a person amongst them, and
he would be surrendered to you. They said: We have not witnessed this
matter ourselves. How can we then take oath? He (the Holy Prophet) said:
The Jews will exonerate themselves by the oaths of fifty of them. They
said: Messenger of Allah, they are non-believing people. Thereupon
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) paid the blood wit for him.
Sahl said: As one day I entered the fold a she-camel amongst those
camels hit me with its leg.

Haritha, set out to Khaibar during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him). There was peace during those days and (this
place) was inhabited by the Jews. They parted company for their
(respective) needs. 'Abdullab b. Sahl was killed,
and his dead body was found in a tank. His companion (Muhayyisa) buried
him and came to Medina, and the brothers of the slain 'Abd al-Rahman b.
Sahl. and Muhayyisa and Huwayyisa told Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) the case of 'Abdullah and the place where he had been
murdered. Bushair reported on the authority of one who had seen Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) that he had said to them: You take
fifty oaths and you are entitled to blood-wit of (one) slain among you
(or your companion). They said: Messenger of Allah, we neither saw (with
our own eyes this murder) nor were we present there. Thereupon (Allah's
Messenger is reported to have said): Then the Jews will exonerate
themselves by taking fifty oaths. They said: Allah's Messenger, how can
we accept the oath of unbelieving people? Bushair said that Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) paid the blood-wit himself.

Laila 'Abdullah b. 'Abd al-Rahman b. Sahl reported that the elderly
persons of (the tribe) had informed Sahl b. Abu Hathma that 'Abdullah b.
Sahl and Muhayyisa went out to Khaibar under some distress which had
afflicted them. Muhayyisa came and informed that Abdutlah b. Sahl had
been killed, and (his dead body) had been thrown in a well or in a ditch. He came to the Jews and said: By Allah, it is you who have killed him. They said: By Allah, we have not killed
him. He then came to his people, and made mention of that to them. Then
came he and his brother Huwayyisa, and he was older than he, and 'Abd
al-Rahman b. Sahl. Then Muhayyisa went to speak, and it was he who had
accompanied ('Abdullah) to Khaibar, whereupon Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) said to Muhayyisa: Observe greatness of the great (he
meant the seniority of age). Then Huwayyisa spoke and then Muhayyisa
also spoke. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:
They should either pay blood-wit for your companion, or be prepared for
war. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) wrote about it to them
(to the Jews). They wrote: Verily, by Allah, we have not killed
him. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to
Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa and Abd al-Rahman: Are you prepared to take oath
in order to entitle yourselves for the blood-wit of your companion?
They said: No. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Then the Jews will take oath
(of their innocence). They said: They are not Muslims. Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him), however, himself paid the blood-wit to them
and sent to them one hundred camels until they entered into their
houses, Sahl said: One red she-camel among them kicked me.

found its climate uncogenial. So Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon

and drink their milk and urine. They did so and were all right. They
then fell upon the shepherds and killed
them and turned apostates from Islam and drove off the camels of the
Prophet (may peace be upon him). This news reached Allah's Apostle (may
peace be upon him) and he sent (people) on their track and they were
(brought) and handed over to him. He (the Holy Prophet) got their hands
cut off, and their feet, and put out their eyes, and threw them on the
stony ground until they died.

climate of that land uncogenial to their health and thus they became
sick, and they made complaint of that to Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him), and he said: Why don't you go to (the fold) of our camels
along with our shepherd, and make use of their milk and urine. They
said: Yes. They set out and drank their (camels') milk and urine and
regained their health. They killed
the shepherd and drove away the camels. This (news) reached Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) and he sent them on their track and
they were caught and brought to him (the Holy Prophet). He commanded
about them, and (thus) their hands and feet were cut off and their eyes
were gouged and then they were thrown in the sun, until they died. This

you? She indicated with the nod of her head: No. He said for the second
time, and she again said: No with the nod of her head. He asked for the
third time, and she said: Yes with the nod of her head and Allah's

b. Wa'il reported on the authority of his-father: While I was sitting
in the company of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him), a person came
there dragging another one with the help of a strap and said: Allah's
Messenger, this man has killed my brother. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to him: Did you kill
him? And the other man said: (In case he did not make a confession of
this, I shall brine, a witness against him). He (the murderer) said:
Yes, I have killed him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Why did you kill
him? He said: I and he won striking down the leaves of a tree and he
abused me and enraged me, and to I struck his head with an axe and killed
him, whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Have you
anything with you to pay blood-wit on your behalf? He said: I do not
possess any property but this robe of mine and this axe of mine. He (the
Holy, Prophet) said: Do you think your people will pay ransom for you?
He said: I am more insignificant among my people than this (that I would
not be able to get this benefit from my tribe). He (the Holy Prophet)
threw the strap towards him (the claimant of the blood-wit) saying: Take
away your man. The man took him away, and as he returned, Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: If he kills him, he will be like him. He returned and said: Allah's Messenger, it has reached me that you have said that" If he killed
him, he would be like him." I caught hold of him according to your
command, whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Don't
you like that he should take upon him (the burden) of your sin and the
sin of your companion (your brother)? He said: Allah's Apostle, why not?
The Messenger of Allah (may peace be. upon him) said: If it is so, then
let it be. He threw away the strap (around the offender) and set him
free.

another person, and the heir of the person slain had dragged him (to
the Holy Prophet) with a strap around his neck. As he turned away
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The killer and the killed
are (doomed) to fire. A person came to the other person (the heir of
the deceased) and he reported to him the words of the Messenger of Allah

of her unborn child is a male or a female slave of the best quality,
and he also decided that the diyat of the woman is to be paid by her
relative on the father's side, and he (the Holy Prophet) made her sons
and those who were with them her heirs. Hamal b. al-Nabigha al-Hudhali
said: Messenger of Allah, why should I play blood-wit for one who
neither drank, nor ate, nor spoke, nor made any noise; it is like a
nonentity (it is, therefore, not justifiable to demand blood-wit for
it). Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: He seems

for the payment of blood-wit on her behalf, and fixed a slave or a
female slave as the indemnity for what was in her womb. One of the
persons amongst the relatives of the murderer said: Should we pay
indemnity for one who, neither ate, nor drank, nor made any noise, who
was just like a nonentity? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be

b. Buraida reported on the authority of his father that Ma, iz b. Malik
came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and said to him:
Messenger of Allah, purify me, whereupon he said: Woe be upon you, go
back, ask forgiveness of Allah and turn to Him in repentance. He (the
narrator) said that he went back not far, then came and said: Allah's
Messenger, purify me. whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) said: Woe be upon you, go back and ask forgiveness of Allah and
turn to Him in repentance. He (the narrator) said that he went back not
far, when he came and said: Allah's Messenger, purify me. Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) said as he had said before. When it was
the fourth time, Allah's Messenger (may, peace be upon him) said: From
what am I to purify you? He said: From adultery, Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) asked if he had been mad. He was informed that he was
not mad. He said: Has he drunk wine? A person stood up and smelt his
breath but noticed no smell of wine. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) said: Have you committed adultery? He said: Yes. He
made pronouncement about him and he was stoned to death. The people had
been (divided) into two groups about him (Ma'iz). One of them said: He
has been undone for his sins had encompassed him, whereas another said:
There is no repentance more excellent than the repentance of Ma'iz, for
he came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and placing his hand
in his (in the Holy Prophet's) hand said: kill
me with stones. (This controversy about Ma'iz) remained for two or
three days. Then came Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) to them
(his Companions) as they were sitting. He greeted them with salutation
and then sat down and said: Ask forgiveness for Ma'iz b. Malik. They
said: May Allah forgive Ma'iz b. Malik. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) said: He (Ma'iz) has made such a repentance that if
that were to be divided among a people, it would have been enough for
all of them. He (the narrator) said: Then a woman of Ghamid, a branch of
Azd, came to him and said: Messenger of of Allah, purify me, whereupon
he said: Woe be upon you; go back and beg forgiveness from Allah and
turn to Him in repentance. She said: I find that you intend to send me
back as you sent back Ma'iz. b. Malik. He (the Holy, Prophet) said: What
has happened to you? She said that she had become pregnant as a result
of fornication. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Is it you (who has done
that)? She said: Yes. He (the Holy Prophet) said to her: (You will not
be punished) until you deliver what is there in your womb. One of the
Ansar became responsible for her until she was delivered (of the child).
He (that Ansari) came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and
said the woman of Ghamid has given birth to a child. He (the Holy
Prophet) said: In that case we shall not stone her and so leave her
infant with none to suckle him. One of the Ansar got up and said:
Allah's Apostle, let the responsibility of his suckling be upon me. She
was then stoned to death.

committed me to flog her. But she had recently given birth to a child
and I was afraid that if I flogged her I might kill her. So I mentioned that to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and he said: You have done well.

'Aun reported: I wrote to Nafi' inquiring from him whether it was
necessary to extend (to the disbelievers) an invitation to accept
(Islam) before m". ing them in fight. He wrote (in reply) to me that it
was necessary in the early days of Islam. The Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) made a raid upon Banu Mustaliq while they were
unaware and their cattle were having a drink at the water. He killed
those who fought and imprisoned others. On that very day, he captured
Juwairiya bint al-Harith. Nafi' said that this tradition was related to
him by Abdullah b. Umar who (himself) was among the raiding troops.
(Book #019, Hadith #4292) |
| (109) It
has been reported from Sulaiman b. Buraid through his father that when
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) appointed anyone as
leader of an army or detachment he would especially exhort him to fear
Allah and to be good to the Muslims who were with him. He would say:
Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those
who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war, do not embezzle the spoils; do
not break your pledge; and do not mutilate (the dead) bodies; do not kill
the children. When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite
them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these,
you also accept it and withold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite
them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and
desist from fighting against them. Then invite them to migrate from
their lands to the land of Muhairs and inform them that, if they do so,
they shall have all the privileges and obligations of the Muhajirs. If
they refuse to migrate, tell them that they will have the status of
Bedouin Muilims and will be subjected to the Commands of Allah like
other Muslims, but they will not get any share from the spoils of war or
Fai' except when they actually fight with the Muslims (against the
disbelievers). If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the
Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your
hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them.
When you lay siege to a fort and the besieged appeal to you for
protection in the name of Allah and His Prophet, do not accord to them
the guarantee of Allah and His Prophet, but accord to them your own
guarantee and the guarantee of your companions for it is a lesser sin
that the security given by you or your companions be disregarded than
that the security granted in the name of Allah and His Prophet be
violated When you besiege a fort and the besieged want you to let them
out in accordance with Allah's Command, do not let them come out in
accordance with His Command, but do so at your (own) command, for you do
not know whether or not you will be able to carry out Allah's behest
with regard to them.
(Book #019, Hadith #4294) |
| (110) It is narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah that a woman was found killed in one of the battles fought by the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). He disapproved of the killing of women and children.
(Book #019, Hadith #4319) |
| (111) It is narrated by Ibn 'Umar that a woman was found killed in one of these battles; so the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) forbade the killing of women and children.
(Book #019, Hadith #4320) |
| (112) It
is reported on the authority of Sa'b b. Jaththama that the Prophet of
Allah (may peace be upon him), when asked about the women and children
of the polytheists being killed during the night raid, said: They are from them.
(Book #019, Hadith #4321) |
| (113) It is narrated by Sa'b b. Jaththama that he said (to the Holy Prophet): Messenger of Allah, we kill the children of the polytheists during the night raids. He said: They are from them.
(Book #019, Hadith #4322) |
| (114) Sa'b b. Jaththama has narrated that the Prophet (may peace be upon him) asked: What about the children of polytheists killed by the cavalry during the night raid? He said: They are from them.
(Book #019, Hadith #4323) |
| (115) Abu
Qatada reported: We accompanied the Messenger of Allah (my peace be
upon him) on an expedition in the year of the Battle of Hunain. When we
encountered the enemy, (some of the Muslims turned back (in fear). I saw
that a man from the polytheists overpowered one of the Muslims. I
turned round and attacked him from behind giving a blow between his neck
and shoulder. He turned towards me and grappled with me in such a way
that I began to see death staring me in the face. Then death overtook
him and left me alone. I joined 'Umar b. al-Khattab who was saying: What
has happened to the people (that they are retreating)? I said: It is
the Decree of Allah. Then the people returned. (The battle ended in a
victory for the Muslims) and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) sat down (to distribute the spoils of war). He said: One who has killed
an enemy and can bring evidence to prove it will get his belongings. So
I stood up and said: Who will give evidence for me? Then I sat down.
Then he (the Holy Prophet) said like this. I stood up (again) and said:
Who will bear witness for me? He (the Holy Prophet) made the same
observation the third time, and I stood up (once again). Now the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: What has happened to
you, O Abu Qatada? Then I related the (whole) story, to him. At this,
one of the people said: He has told the truth. Messenger of Allah 1 The
belongings of the enemy killed by
him are with me. Persuade him to forgo his right (in my favour).
(Objecting to this proposal) Abu Bakr said: BY Allah, this will not
happen. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) will not like to
deprive one of the lions from among the lions of Allah who fight in the
cause of Allah and His Messenger and give thee his share of the booty.
So the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) said: He (Abu Bakr)
has told the truth, and so give the belongings to him (Abu Qatada). So
he gave them to me. I sold the armour (which was a part of my share of
the booty) and bought with the sale proceeds a garden in the street of
Banu Salama. This was the first property I acquired after embracing
Islam. In a version of the hadith narrated by Laith, the words uttered
by Abu Bakr are:" No, never! He will not give it to a fox from the
Quraish leaving aside a lion from the lions of Allah among...." And the
hadith is closed with the words:" The first property I acquired."
(Book #019, Hadith #4340) |
| (116) It
has been narrated on the authority of 'Abd al-Rahman b. Auf who said:
While I was standing in the battle array on the Day of Badr, I looked
towards my right and my left, and found myself between two boys from the
Ansar quite young in age. I wished I were between stronger persons. One
of them made a sign to me and. said: Uncle, do you recognise Abu Jahl? 1
said: Yes. What do you want to do with him, O my nephew? He said: I
have been told that he abuses the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him). By Allah, in Whose Hand is my life, if I see him (I will grapple
with him) and will not leave him until one of us who is destined to die
earlier is killed. The narrator
said: I wondered at this. Then the other made a sign to me and said
similar words. Soon after I saw Abu Jahl. He was moving about among men.
I said to the two boys: Don't you see? He is the man you were inquiring
about. (As soon as they heard this), they dashed towards him, struck
him with their swords until he was killed.
Then they returned to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
and informed him (to this effect). He asked: Which of you has killed him? Each one of them said: I have killed him. He said: Have you wiped your swords? They said: No. He examined their swords and said: Both of you have killed
him. He then decided that the belongings of Abu Jahl he handed over to
Mu'adh b. Amr b. al-Jamuh. And the two boys were Mu'adh b. Amr b. Jawth
and Mu'adh b. Afra.
(Book #019, Hadith #4341) |
| (117) Auf b. Malik has narrated that a man from the Himyar tribe killed
an enemy and wanted to take the booty. Khalid b. Walid, who was the
commander over them, forbade, him. 'Auf b Malik (the narrator) came to
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and informed him (to this
effect). The latter asked Khalid: What prevented you from giving the
booty to him? Khalid said: I thought it was too much. He (the Holy
Prophet) said: Hand it over to him. Now when Khalid by Auf, the latter
pulled him by his cloak and said (by way of chafing him): Hasn't the
same thing happened what I reported to you from the Messenger of Allah
(may peace he upon him)? When the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) heard it. he was angry (and said): Khalid, don't give him, Khalid,
don't give him. Are you going to desert the commanders appointed by roe?
Your similitude and theirs is like a person who took camels and sheep
for grazing. He grazed them and when it was time for them to have a
drink, he brought them to a pool. So they drank from it, drinking away
its clear water and leaving the turbid water below So the clear water
(i. e. the best reward) is for you and the turbid water (i e. blame) is
for them.
(Book #019, Hadith #4342) |
| (118) It
has been narrated on the authority of Auf b. Malik al-Ashja'i who said:
I joined the expedition that marched under Zaid b. Haritha to Muta, and
I received reinformcement from the Yemen. (After this introduction),
the narrator narrated the tradition that had gone before except that in
his version Auf was reported to have said (to Khalid): Khalid, didn't
you know that the Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) had decided
In favour of giving the booty (sized from an enemy) to one who killed him? He (Khalid) said: Yes. but I thought it was too much.
(Book #019, Hadith #4343) |
| (119) It
has been reported by Salama b. al-Akwa': We fought the Battle of
Hawazin along with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). (One
day) when we were having our breakfast with the Messenger of Allah (may
peace he upon him), a man came riding a red camel. He made it kneel
down, extracted a strip of leather from its girth and tethered the camel
with it. Then he began to take food with the people and look (curiously
around). We were in a poor condition as some of us were on foot (being
without any riding animals). All of a sudden, he left us hurriedy, came
to his camel, untethered it, made it kneel down, mounted it and urged
the beast which ran off with him. A man on a brown rhe-camel chased him
(taking him for a spy). Salama (the narrator) said: I followed on foot. I
ran on until I was near the thigh of the she-camel. I advanced further
until I was near the haunches of the camel. I advanced still further
until I caught hold of the nosestring of the camel. I made it kneel
down. As soon as it placed its knee on the ground, I drew my sword and
struck at the head, of the rider who fell down. I brought the camel
driving it along with the man's baggage and weapons. The Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) came forward to meet me and the people
were with him. He asked: Who has killed the man? The people said: Ibn Akwa'. He said: Everything of the man is for him (Ibn Akwa').
(Book #019, Hadith #4344) |
| (120) It
has been narrated on the authority of Salama (b. al-Akwa') who said: We
fought against the Fazara and Abu Bakr was the commander over us. He
had been appointed by the Messenger oi Allah (may peace be upon him).
When we were onlv at an hour's distance from the water of the enemy, Abu
Bakr ordered us to attack. We made a halt during the last part of the
night tor rest and then we attacked from all sides and reached their
watering-place where a battle was fought. Some of the enemies were killed
and some were taken prisoners. I saw a group of persons that consisted
of women and children. I was afraid lest they should reach the mountain
before me, so I shot an arrow between them and the mountain. When they
saw the arrow, they stopped. So I brought them, driving them along.
Among them was a woman from Banu Fazara. She was wearing a leather coat.
With her was her daughter who was one of the prettiest girls in Arabia.
I drove them along until I brought them to Abu Bakr who bestowed that
girl upon me as a prize. So we arrived in Medina. I had not yet disrobed
her when the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) met me in the
street and said: Give me that girl, O Salama. I said: Messenger of
Allah, she has fascinated me. I had not yet disrobed her. When on the
next day. the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ag;tin met me
in the street, he said: O Salama, give me that girl, may God bless your
father. I said: She is for you. Messenger of Allah! By Allah. I have not
yet disrobed her. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent
her to the people of Mecca, and surrendered her as ransom for a number
of Muslims who had been kept as prisoners at Mecca.
(Book #019, Hadith #4345) |
| (121) It
has been narrated on the authority of 'Umar b. al-Khattab who said:
When it was the day on which the Battle of Badr was fought, the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) cast a glance at the
infidels, and they were one thousand while his own Companions were three
hundred and nineteen. The Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) turned
(his face) towards the Qibla Then he stretched his hands and began his
supplication to his Lord:" O Allah, accomplish for me what Thou hast
promised to me. O Allah, bring about what Thou hast promised to me. O
Allah, if this small band of Muslims is destroyed. Thou will not be
worshipped on this earth." He continued his supplication to his Lord,
stretching his hands, facing the Qibla, until his mantle slipped down
from his shoulders. So Abu Bakr came to him, picked up his mantle and
put it on his shoulders. Then he embraced him from behind and said:.
Prophet of Allah, this prayer of yours to your Lord will suffice you,
and He will fulfil for you what He has promised you. So Allah, the
Glorious and Exalted, revealed (the Qur'anic verse):" When ye appealed
to your Lord for help, He responded to your call (saying): I will help
you with one thousand angels coming in succession." So Allah helped him
with angels. Abu Zumail said that the badith was narrated to him by Ibn
'Abbas who said: While on that day a Muslim was chasing a disbeliever
who was going ahead of him, he heard over him' the swishing of the whip
and the voice of the rider saying: Go ahead, Haizi'm! He glanced at the
polytheist who had (now) fallen down on his back. When he looked at him
(carefully he found that) there was a scar on his nose and his face was
torn as if it had been lashed with a whip, and had turned green with its
poison. An Ansari came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) and related this (event) to him. He said: You have told the truth.
This was the help from the third heaven. The Muslims that day (i. e. the
day of the Battle of Badr) killed
seventy persons and captured seventy. The Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) said to Abu Bakr and 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them):
What is your opinion about these captives? Abu Bakr said: They are our
kith and kin. I think you should release them after getting from them a
ransom. This will be a source of strength to us against the infidels. It
is quite possible that Allah may guide them to Islam. Then the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: What is your opinion.
Ibn Khattab? He said: Messenger of Allah. I do not hold the same opinion
as Abu Bakr. I am of the opinion that you should hand them over to us
so that we may cut off their heads. Hand over 'Aqil to 'Ali that he may
cut off his head, and hand over such and such relative to me that I may
but off his head. They are leaders of the disbelievers and veterans
among them. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) approved the
opinion of Abu Bakr and did not approve what I said The next day when I
came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), I found that
both he and Abu Bakr were sitting shedding tears. I said: Messenger of
Allah, why are you and your Companion shedding tears? Tell me the
reason. For I will weep ate, if not, I will at least pretend to weep in
sympathy with you. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: I
weep for what has happened to your companions for taking ransom (from
the prisoners). I was shown the torture to which they were subjected. It
was brought to me as close as this tree. (He pointed to a tree close to
him.) Then God revealed the verse:" It is not befitting for a prophet
that he should take prisoners until the force of the disbelievers has
been crushed..." to the end of the verse:" so eat ye the spoils of war,
(it is) lawful and pure. So Allah made booty lawful for them."
(Book #019, Hadith #4360) |
| (122) It
has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira who said: The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent some horsemen to Najd.
They captured a man. He was from the tribe of Banu Hanifa and was called
Thumama b. Uthal. He was the chief of the people of Yamama. People
bound him with one of the pillars of the mosque. The Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) came out to (see) him. He said: O Thumama, what
do you think? He replied: Muhammad, I have good opinion of you. If you kill me, you will kill
a person who has spilt blood. If you do me a favour, you will do a
favour to a grateful person. If you want wealth, ask and you will get
what you will demand. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be pon him)
lefthim (in this condition) for two days, (and came to him again) and
said: What do you think, O Thumama? He replied: What I have already told
you. If you do a favour, you will do a favour to a grateful person. If
you kill me, you will kill
a person who has spilt blood. If you want wealth, ask and you will get
what you will demand. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
left him until the next day when he (came to him again) and said: What
do you think, O Thumama? He replied: What I have already told you. If
you do me a favour, you will do a favour to a grateful person. If you kill me, you will kill
a person who has spilt blood. If you want wealth ask and you will get
what you will demand. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
said: Set Thumama free. He went to a palm-grove near the mosque and took
a bath. Then he entered the mosque and said: I bear testimony (to the
truth) that there is no god but Allah and I testify that Muhammad is His
bondman and His messenger. O Muhammad, by Allah, there was no face on
the earth more hateful to me than your face, but (now) your face has
become to me the dearest of all faces. By Allah, there was no religion
more hateful to me than your religion, but (now) your religion has
become the dearest of all religions to me. By Allah, there was no city
more hateful to me than your city, but (now) your city has become the
dearest of all cities to me. Your horsemen captured me when I intended
going for Umra. Now what is your opinion (in the matter)? The Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) announced good tidings to him and told
him to go on 'Umra. When he reached Mecca, somebody said to him: Have
you changed your religion? He said: No! I have rather embraced Islam
with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). By Allah, you will
not get a single grain of wheat from Yamama until it is permitted by the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him).
(Book #019, Hadith #4361) |
| (123) It
has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Umar that the Jews of Banu
Nadir and Banu Quraizi fought against the Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) who expelled Banu Nadir, and allowed Quraiza to stay on,
and granted favour to them until they too fought against him Then he killed
their men, and distributed their women, children and properties among
the Muslims, except that some of them had joined the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) who granted them security. They embraced Islam.
The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) turned out all the Jews
of Medlina. Banu Qainuqa' (the tribe of 'Abdullah b. Salim) and the Jews
of Banu Haritha and every other Jew who was in Medina.
(Book #019, Hadith #4364) |
| (124) It
has been narrated on the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri who said: The
people of Quraiza surrendered accepting the decision of Sa'd b. Mu'adh
about them. Accordingly, the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
sent for Sa'd who came to him riding a donkey. When he approached the
mosque, the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said to the
Ansar: Stand up to receive your chieftain. Then he said (to Sa'd): These
people have surrendered accepting your decision. He (Sa'd) said: You
will kill their fighters and capture
their women and children. (Hearing this), the Propbot (may peace he
tpon him) said: You have adjudged by the command of God. The narrator is
reported to have said: Perhaps he said: You have adjuged by the
decision of a king. Ibn Muthanna (in his version of the tradition) has
not mentioned the alternative words.
(Book #019, Hadith #4368) |
| (125) It
has been narrated on the authority of A'isha who said: Sa'd was wounded
on the day of the Battle of the Ditch. A man from the Quraish called
Ibn al-Ariqah shot at him an arrow which pierced the artery in the
middle of his forearm. The Messenger of Allah (may peacce be upon him)
pitched a tent for him in the mosque and would inquire after him being
in close proximity. When he returned from the Ditch and laid down his
arms and took a bath, the angel Gabriel appeared to him and he was
removing dust from his hair (as if he had just returned from the
battle). The latter said: You have laid down arms. By God, we haven't
(yet) laid them down. So march against them. The Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) asked: Where? He poirftad to Banu Quraiza. So the
Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) fought against them. They
surrendered at the command of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him), but he referred the decision about them to Sa'd who said: I decide
about them that those of them who can fight be killed, their women and children taken prisoners and their properties distributed (among the Muslims).
(Book #019, Hadith #4370) |
| (126) It
has been narrated on the authority of Anas that when (the news of) the
advance of Abu Sufyan (at the head of a force) reached him. the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) held consultations with his
Companions. The narrator said: Abu Bakr spoke (expressing his own
views), but he (the Holy Prophet) did not pay heed to him. Then spoke
'Umar (expressing his views), but he (the Holy Prophet) did not pay heed
to him (too). Then Sa'd b. 'Ubada stood up and said: Messenger of
Allah, you want us (to speak). By God in Whose control is my life, if
you order us to plunge our horses into the sea, we would do so. If you
order us to goad our horses to the most distant place like Bark
al-Ghimad, we would do so. The narrator said: Now the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) called upon the people (for the encounter). So
they set out and encamped at Badr. (Soon) the water-carriers of the
Quraish arrived. Among them was a black slave belonging to Banu
al-Hajjaj. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) caught him and interrogated him about Abu Sufyan and his
companions. He said: I know nothing about Abu Sufyan, but Abu Jahl,
Utba, Shaiba and Umayya b. Khalaf are there. When he said this, they
beat him. Then he said: All right, I will tell you about Abu Sufyan.
They would stop beating him and then ask him (again) about Abu Sufyan.
He would again say', I know nothing about Abu Sufyan, but Abu Jahl.
'Utba, Shaiba and Umayya b. Khalaf are there. When he said this, they
beat him likewise. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) was
standing in prayer. When he saw this he finished his prayer and said: By
Allah in Whose control is my life, you beat him when he is telling you
the truth, and you let him go when he tells you a lie. The narrator
said: Then the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: This is
the place where so and so would be killed.
He placed his hand on the earth (saying) here and here; (and) none of
them fell away from the place which the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) had indicated by placing his hand on the earth.
(Book #019, Hadith #4394) |
| (127) It
has been narrated by 'Abdullah b. Rabah from Abu Huraira, who said:
Many deputations came to Mu'awiya. This was in the month of Ramadan. We
would prepare food for one another. Abu Huraira was one of those who
frequently invited us to his house. I said: Should I not prepare food
and invite them to my place? So I ordered meals to be prepared Then I
met Abu Huraira in the evening and said: (You will have) your meals with
me tonight. He said: You have forestalled me. I said: Yes, and invited
them. (When they had finished with the meals) Abu Huraira said: Should I
not tell yon a tradition from your traditions, O ye assembly of the
Ansar? He then gave an account of the Conquest of Mecca and said: The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) advanced until he reached
Mecca. He deputed Zubair on his right flank and Khalid on the left, and
he despatched Abu Ubaida with the force that had no armour. They
advanced to the interior of the valley. The Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) was in the midst of a large contingent of fighters.
He saw me and said: Abu Huraira. I said: I am here at your call,
Messenger of Allah I He said: Let no one come to me except the Ansar, so
call to me the Ansar (only). Abu Huraira continued: So they gathered
round him. The Quraish also gathered their ruffians and their (lowly)
followers, and said: We send these forward. If they get anything, we
shall be with them (to share it), and if misfortune befalls them, we
shall pay (as compensation) whatever we are asked for. The Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) said (to the Ansar): You see the ruffians
and the (lowly) followers of the Quraish. And he indicated by (striking)
one of his hands over the other that they should be killed and said: Meet me at as-Safa. Then we went on (and) if any one of us wanted that a certain person should be killed, he was killed,
and none could offer any resistance. Abu Huraira continued: Then came
Abu Sufyan and said: Messenger of Allah, the blood of the Quraish has
become very cheap. There will be no Quraish from this day on. Then he
(the Holy Prophet) said: Who enters the house of Abu Sufyan, he will be
safe. Some of the Ansar whispered among themselves: (After all), love
for his city and tenderness towards his relations have overpowered him.
Abu Huraira said: (At this moment) revelation came to the Holy Prophet
(may peace be upon him) and when he was going to receive the Revelation,
we understood it, and when he was (actually) receiving it, none of us
would dare raise his eyes to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) until the revelation came to an end. When the revelation came to an
end, the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: O ye Assembly
of the Ansar! They said: Here we are at your disposal, Messenger of
Allah. He said: You were saying that love for his city and tenderness
towards his people have overpowered this man. They said: So it was. He
said: No, never. I am a bondman of God and His Messenger. I migrated
towards God and towards you. I will live with you and will die with you.
So, they (the Ansar) turned towards him in tears and they were saying:
By Allah, we said what we said because of our tenacious attachment to
Allah and His Messenger. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
said: Surely, Allah and His Messenger testify to your assertions and
accept your apology. The narrator continued: People turned to the house
of Abu Sufyan and people locked their doors. The Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) proceeded until he approached the (Black) Stone. He
kissed it and circumambulated the Ka'ba. He reached near an idol by the
side of the Ka'ba which was worshipped by the people. The Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) had a bow in his hand, and he was holding
it from a corner. When he came near the idol, he began to pierce its
eyes with the bow and (while doing so) was saying: Truth has been
established and falsehood has perished. When he had finished the
circumambulation, he came to Safa', ascended it to a height from where
he could see the Ka'ba, raised his hands (in prayer) and began to praise
Allah and prayed what he wanted to pray. The tradition has been
narrated by a different chain of transmitters with the following
additions: (i) Then be (the Messenger of Allah) said with his hands one
upon the other: kill them (who stand
in your way).... (ii) They (the Ansar) replied: We said so, Messenger
of Allah! He said: What is my name? I am but Allah's bondman and His
Messenger.
(Book #019, Hadith #4395) |
| (128) It
has been narrated on the authority of Abdullah b. Muti' who heard from
his father and said: I heard the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him)
say on the day of the Conquest of Mecca: No Quraishite will be killed hound hand and foot from this day until the Day of judgment.
(Book #019, Hadith #4399) |
| (129) It
has been narrated on the authority of Abu Wa'il who said: Sahal b.
Hunaif stood up on the Day of Siffin and said: O ye people, blame
yourselves (for want of discretion) ; we were with the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) on the Day of Hudaibiya. If we had thought
it fit to fight, we could fight. This was in the truce between the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and the polytheists. Umar b.
Khattab came, approached the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
and said: Messenger of Allah, aren't we fighting for truth and they for
falsehood? He replied: By all means. He asked: Are not those killed from our side in Paradise and those killed.
from their side in the Fire? He replied: Yes. He said: Then why should
we put a blot upon our religion and return, while Allah has not decided
the issue between them and ourselves? He said: Son of Khattab, I am the
Messenger of Allah. Allah will never ruin me. (The narrator said): Umar
went away, but he could not contain himself with rage. So he approached
Abu Bakr and said: 'Abu Bakr, aren't we fighting for truth and they for
falsehood? He replied: Yes. He asked: Aren't those killed from our side in Paradise and those killed
from their side in the Fire? He replied: Why not? He (then) said: Why
should we then disgrace our religion and return while God has not yet
decided the issue between them and ourselves? Abu Bakr said: Son of
Khattab, verily, he is the Messenger of Allah, and Allah will never ruin
him. (The narrator continued): At this (a Sura of) the Qur'an (giving
glad tidings of the victory) was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him). He sent for Umar and made him read it. He asked: Is
(this truce) a victory? He (the Messenger of Allah) replied: Yes. At
this Umar was pleased, and returned.
(Book #019, Hadith #4405) |
| (130) It
has been reported on the authority of Anas b. Malik that (when the
enemy got the upper hand) on the day of the Battle of Uhud, the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) was left with only seven men
from the ansar and two men from the Quraish. When the enemy advanced
towards him and overwhelmed him, he said: Whoso turns them away from us
will attain Paradise or will be my Companion in Paradise. A man from the
Ansar came forward and fought (the enemy) until he was killed.
The enemy advanced and overwhelmed him again and he repeated the words:
Whoso turns them away, from us will attain Paradise or will be my
Companion in Paradise. A man from the Arsar came forward and fought
until he was killed. This state continued until the seven Ansar were killed
(one after the other). Now, the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) said to his two Companions: We have not done justice to our
Companions.
(Book #019, Hadith #4413) |
| (131) It
has been narrated by Hammam b. Munabbih who said: This is what has been
related to us by Abu Huraira from the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him). (With this introduction) he narrated a number of traditions.
One of these was that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
said: Great is the wrath of Allah upon a people who have done this to
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), and he was at that time
pointing to his front teeth. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) also said: Great is the wrath of Allah upon a person who has been killed by the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) in the way of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious.
(Book #019, Hadith #4420) |
| (132) It
has been narrated on the authority of Anas b. Malik that the Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) said (after the encounter at Badr): Who
will ascertain for us what has happened to Abu Jahl? Ibn Mas'ud went
(to gather this information). He found that the two sons of 'Afra' had
struck him and he lay cold at the point of death. He caught him by his
beard and said: Art thou Abu Jahl? He said: is there anybody superior to
the person you have killed, or (he said) his people have killed him. Ibn Mas'ud says that, according to Abu Mijlaz, Abu Jahl said: Alas! a person other than a farmer would have killed me.
(Book #019, Hadith #4434) |
| (133) It has been narrated on the authority of Jabir that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Who will kill
Ka'b b. Ashraf? He has maligned Allah, the Exalted, and His Messenger.
Muhammad b. Maslama said: Messenger of Allah, do you wish that I should kill
him? He said: Yes. He said: Permit me to talk (to him in the way I deem
fit). He said: Talk (as you like). So, Muhammad b. Maslama came to Ka'b
and talked to him, referred to the old friendship between them and
said: This man (i. e. the Holy Prophet) has made up his mind to collect
charity (from us) and this has put us to a great hardship. When be heard
this, Ka'b said: By God, you will be put to more trouble by him.
Muhammad b. Maslama said: No doubt, now we have become his followers and
we do not like to forsake him until we see what turn his affairs will
take. I want that you should give me a loan. He said: What will you
mortgage? He said: What do you want? He said: Pledge me your women. He
said: You are the most handsome of the Arabs; should we pledge our women
to you? He said: Pledge me your children. He said: The son of one of us
may abuse us saying that he was pledged for two wasqs of dates, but we
can pledge you (cur) weapons. He said: All right. Then Muhammad b.
Maslama promised that he would come to him with Harith, Abu 'Abs b. Jabr
and Abbad b. Bishr. So they came and called upon him at night. He came
down to them. Sufyan says that all the narrators except 'Amr have stated
that his wife said: I hear a voice which sounds like the voice of
murder. He said: It is only Muhammad b. Maslama and his foster-brother,
Abu Na'ila. When a gentleman is called at night even it to be pierced
with a spear, he should respond to the call. Muhammad said to his
companions: As he comes down, I will extend my hands towards his head
and when I hold him fast, you should do your job. So when he came down
and he was holding his cloak under his arm, they said to him: We sense
from you a very fine smell. He said: Yes, I have with me a mistress who
is the most scented of the women of Arabia. He said: Allow me to smell
(the scent on your head). He said: Yes, you may smell. So he caught it
and smelt. Then he said: Allow me to do so (once again). He then held
his head fast and said to his companions: Do your job. And they killed him.
(Book #019, Hadith #4436) |
| (134) It
has been reported on the authority of Salama b. Akwa' who said: On the
day of the Battle of Khaibar my brother fought a fierce fight by the
side of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). His sword
rebounded and killed him. The
Companions of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon hill) talked
about his death and doubted (whether it was martyrdom). (They said): (He
is) a man killed by his own weapon,
and expressed doubt about his affair. Salama said: When the Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) returned from Khaibar, I said:
Messenger of Allah, permit me that I may recite to you some rajaz
verses. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) permitted him.
'Umar b. Khattab said: I know what you will recite. I recited: By God,
if God had guided us not, We would hive neither been guided aright nor
practised charity, Nor offered prayers. The Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) said: What you have said is true, 'I (continued): And
descend on us peace and tranquillity And keep us steadfast if we
encounter (with our enemies) And the polytheists have rebelled against
us. When I finished my rajaz, the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) said: Who composed these verses? I said: They were composed by my
brother. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: May God
show mercy to him! I said: By God, some people are reluctant to invoke
God's mercy on him (because) they say he is a man who died by his own
sword. (Hearing this) the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
said: He died as God's devotee and warrior. Ibn Shihab has said: I asked
one of the sons of Salama (b. Akwa') about (the death of 'Amir). He
related to me a similar tradition except that he said: When I said some
people were reluctant invoke God's blessings on him, the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be, upon him said: They lied. ('Amir) died as God's
devotee and warrior (in the cause of Allah). For him there is a double
reward, and he pointed out this by putting his two fingers together.
(Book #019, Hadith #4441) |
| (135) It
has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Salama. He heard the
tradition from his father who said: We arrived at Hudaibiya with the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and we were fourteen hundred
in number. There were fifty goats for them which could not be watered
(by the small quantity of water in the local well). So, the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) sat on the brink of the well. Either he
prayed or spat into the well The water welled up. We drank and watered
(the beasts as well). Then the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) called us to take the vow of allegiance, as he was sitting at the
base of a tree. I was the first man to take the vow. Then other people
took the vow. When half the number of people had done so, he said to me:
You take the vow, Salama. I said: I was one of those who took the vow
in the first instance. He said: (You may do) again. Then the Messenger.
of Allah (may peace be upon him) saw that I was without weapons. He gave
me a big or a small shield. Then he continued to administer vows to the
people until it was the last batch of them. He said (to me): Won't you
swear allegiance, Salama? I said: Messenger of Allah, I took the oath
with the first batch of the people and then again when you were in the
middle of the people. He said: (Doesn't matter), you may (do so) again.
So I took the oath of allegiance thrice. Then he said to me: Salama,
where is the shield which I gave to thee? I said: Messenger of Allah, my
uncle 'Amir met me and he was without any weapons. So I gave the shield
to him. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) laughed and
said: You are like a person of the days gone by who said: O God. I seek a
friend who is dearer to me than myself. (When all Companions had sworn
allegiance to the Holy Prophet), the polytheists sent messages of peace,
until people could move from our camp to that of the Meccans and vice
versa. Finally, the peace treaty was concluded. I was a dependant of
Talha b. Ubaidullah. I watered his horse, rubbed its back. I served
Talha (doing odd jobs for him) and partook from his food. I had left my
family and my property as an emigrant in the cause of Allah and His
Messenger (may peace be uron him). When we and the people of Mecca had
concluded a peace treaty and the people of one side began to mix with
those of the other, I came to a tree, swept away its thorns and lay down
(for rest) at its base; (while I lay there), four of the polytheists
from the Meccans came to me and began to talk ill of the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him). I got enraged with them and moved to
another tree. They hung their weapons (to the branches of the tree) and
lay down (for rest). (While they lay there), somebody from the lower
part of the valley cried out: Run up, O Muhajirs! Ibn Zunaim has been
murdered. I drew my sword and attacked these four while they were
asleep. I seized their arms and collected them up in my hand, and said:
By the Being Who has conferred honour upon Muhammad, none of you shall
raise his head, else I will smite his face. (Then) I came driving them
along to the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him). (At the same time).
my uncle Amir came (to him) with a man from" Abalat called Mikraz. Amir
was dragging him on a horse with a thick covering on its back along with
seventy polytheists. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
cast a glance at them and said: Let them go (so that) they may prove
guilty of breach of trust more than once (before we take action against
them). So the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) forgave them.
On this occasion. God revealed the Qur'anic verse:" It is He Who
restrained their hands from you and your hands from them in the valley
of Mecca after He had granted you a victory over them" (xlviii. 24).
Then we moved returning to Medina, and halted at a place where there was
a mountain between us and Banu Lihyan who were polytheists. The
Messenaer of Allah (may peace be upon him) asked God's forgiveness for
one who ascended the mountain at night to act as a scout for the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and his Compinions. I
ascended (that mountain) twice or thrice that night. (At last) we
reached Medina. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent his
camels with his slave, Rabah, and I was with him. I (also) went to the
pasture with the horse of Talha along with the camels. When the day
dawned, Abd al-Rahman al-Fazari made a raid and drove away all the
camels of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), and killed
the man who looked after them. I said: Rabah, ride this horse, take it
to Talha b. 'Ubaidullah and Inform the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) that the polytheists have made away with his camels. Then I
stood upon a hillock and turning my face to Medina, shouted thrice: Come
to our help I Then I set out in pursuit of the raiders, shooting at
them with arrows and chanting a (self-eulogatory) verse in the Iambic
metre: I am the son of al-Akwa' And today is the day of defeat for the
mean. I would overtake a man from them, shoot at him an arrow which,
piercing through the saddle, would reach his shoulder. and I would say:
Take it, chanting at the same time the verse And I am the son of
al-Akwa' And tody is the day of defeat for the mean. By God, I continued
shooting at them and hamstringing their animals. Whenever a horseman
turned upon me, I would come to a tree and (hid myself) sitting at its
base. Then I would shoot at him and hamstring his horse. (At last) they
entered a narrow mountain gorge. I ascended that mountain and held them
at bay throwing stones at them. I continued to chase them in this way
until I got all the camels of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) released and no camel was left with them. They left me; then I
followed them shooting at them (continually) until they dropped more
than thirty mantles and thirty lances. lightening their burden. On
everything they dropped, I put a mark with the help of (a piece of)
stone so that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and his
Companions might recognise them (that it was booty left by the enemy).
(They went on) until They came to a narrow valley when so and so, son of
Badr al-Fazari joined them. They (now) sat down to take their breakfast
and I sat on the top of a tapering rock. Al-Fazari said: Who is that
fellow I am seeing? They said: This fellow has harassed us. By God, he
has not left us since dusk and has been (continually) shooting at us
until he has snatched everything from our hands. He said: Four of you
should make a dash at him (and kill
him). (Accordingly), four of them ascended the mountain coming towards
me. When it became possible for me to talk to them, I said: Do you
recognise me? They said: No. Who are thou? I said: I am Salama, son of
al-Akwa'. By the Being Who has honoured the countenance of Muhammad (may
peace be upon him) I can kill any of you I like but none of you will be able to kill
me. One of them said: I think (he is right). So they returned. I did
not move from my place until I saw the horsemen of the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him), who came riding through the trees. Lo!
the foremost among them was Akhram al-Asadi. Behind him was Abu Qatada
al-Ansari and behind him was al-Miqdad b. al-Aswad al-Kindi. I caught
hold of the rein of Akhram's horse (Seeing this). they (the raiders)
fled. I said (to Akhram): Akhram, guard yourself against them until
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and his Companions join you.
He said: ) Salama, if you believe In Allah and the Day of Judgment and
(if) you kaow that Paradise is a reality and Hell is a reality, you
should not stand between me and martyrdom. so I let him go. Akhram and
Abd al-Rahman (Fazari) met in combat. Akhram hamstrung Abd al-Rahman's
horse and the latter struck him with his lance and killed
him. Abd al-Rabman turned about riding Akhram's horse. Abu Qatada, a
horse-man of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), met 'Abd
al-Rahman (in combat), smote him with his lance and killed
him. By the Being Who honoured the countenance of Muhammad (may peace
oe upon him), I followed them running on my feet (so fast) that I
couldn't see behind me the Companions of Muhammad (may peace be upon
him), nor any dust raised by their horses. (I followed them) until
before sunset they reached a valley which had a spring of water, which
was called Dhu Qarad, so that they could have a drink, for they were
thirsty. They saw me running towards them. I turned them out of the
valley before they could drink a drop of its water. They left the valley
and ran down a slope. I ran (behind them), overtook a man from them,
shot him with an arrow through the shoulder blade and said: Take this. I
am the son of al-Akwa'; and today is the day of annihilation for the
people who are mean. The fellow (who was wounded) said: May his mother
weep over him! Are you the Akwa' who has been chasing us since morning? I
said: Yes, O enemy of thyself, the same Akwa'. They left two horses
dead tired on the hillock and I came dragging them along to the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). I met 'Amir who had with him
a container having milk diluted with water and a container having
water. I performed ablution with the water and drank the milk. Then I
came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) while he was at
(the spring of) water from which I had driven them away. The Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) had captured those camels and
everything else I had captured and all the lances and mantles I had
snatched from the polytheists and Bilal had slaughtered a she-camel from
the camels I had seized from the people, and was roasting its liver and
hump for the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). I said:
Messenger of Allah, let me select from our people one hundred men and I
will follow the marauders and I will finish them all so that nobody is
left to convey the news (of their destruction to their people). (At
these words of mine), the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
laughed so much that his molar teeth could be seen in the light of the
fire, and he said: Salama, do you think you can do this? I said: Yes, by
the Being Who has honoured you. He said: Now they have reached the land
of Ghatafan where they are being feted. (At this time) a man from the
Ghatafan came along and said: So and so slaughtered a camel for them.
When they were exposing its skin, they saw dust (being raised far off).
They said: They (Akwa' and his companions) have come. So. they went away
fleeing. When it was morning, the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) said: Our best horseman today is Abu Qatada and our best footman
today is Salama. Then he gave me two shares of the booty-the share meant
for the horseman and the share meant for the footman, and combined both
of them for me. Intending to return to Medina, he made me mount behind
him on his she-camel named al-Adba'. While we were travelling, a man
from the Ansar who could not be beaten in a race said: Is there anyone
who could compete (with me) in race to Medina? Is there any competitor?
He continued repeating this. When I heard his talk, I said: Don't you
show consideration to a dignified person and don't you have awe for a
noble man? He said: No, unless he be the Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him). I said: Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be
thy ransom, let me get down so that I may beat this man (in the race).
He said: It you wish, (you may). I said (to the man): I am coming to
thee, I then turned my feet. sprang up and tan and gasped (for a while)
when one or two elevated places were left and again followed his heel
and again gasped (for a while) when one or two elevated places were left
and again dashed until I joined him and gave a blow between his
shoulders. I said: You have been overtaken, by God. He said: I think so.
Thus, I reached Medina ahead of him. By God, we had stayed there only
three nights when we set out to Khaibar with the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him). (On the way) my uncle, Amir, began to recite the
following rajaz verses for the people: By God, if Thou hadst not guided
us aright, We would have neither practised charity nor offered prayers.
(O God! ) We cannot do without Thy favours; Keep us steadfast when we
encounter the enemy, And descend tranquillity upon us. The Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Who is this? 'Amir said: it is
'Amir. He said: May thy God forgive thee! The narrator said: Whenever
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) asked forgiveness for a
particular person, he was sure to embrace martyrdom. Umar b. Khattab who
was riding on his camel called out: Prophet of Allah, I wish you had
allowed us to benefit from Amir. Salama continued: When we reached
Khaibar, its king named Marhab advanced brandishing his sword and
chanting: Khaibar knows that I am Marhab (who behaves like) A fully
armed, and well-tried warrior. When the war comes spreading its flames.
My uncle, Amir, came out to combat with him, saying: Khaibar certainly
knows that I am 'Amir, A fully armed veteran who plunges into battles.
They exchanged blows. Marbab's sword struck the shield of 'Amir who bent
forward to attack his opponent from below, but his sword recoiled upon
him and cut the main artery: in his forearm which caused his death.
Salama said: I came out and beard some people among the Companions of
the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) as saying: Amir's deed has gone
waste; he has killed himself. So I
came to the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) weeping and I said:
Messenger of Allah. Amir's deed has gone waste. The Messenger (may peace
be upon him) said: Who passed this remark? I said: Some of your
Companions. He said: He who has passed that remark has told a lie, for
'Amir there is a double reward. Then he sent me to 'Ali who had tore
eyes, and said: I will give the banner to a man who loves Allah and His
Messenger or whom Allah and His Messenger love. So I went to 'Ali,
brought him beading him along and he had sore eyes, and I took him to
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), who applied his saliva
to his eyes and he got well. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) gave him the banner (and 'Ali went to meet Marhab in a single
combat). The latter advanced chanting: Khaibar knows certainly that I am
Marhab, A fully armed and well-tried valorous warrior (hero) When war
comes spreading its flames. 'Ali chanted in reply: I am the one whose
mother named him Haidar, (And am) like a lion of the forest with a
terror-striking countenance. I give my opponents the measure of sandara
in exchange for sa' (i. e. return thir attack with one that is much more
fierce). The narrator said: 'Ali struck at the head of Mirhab and killed
him, so the victory (capture of Khaibar) was due to him. This long
tradition has also been handed down Through a different chain of
transmitters.
(Book #019, Hadith #4450) |
| (136) It
has been narrated on the authority of Anas that, on the Day of Hunain.
Umm Sulaim took out a dagger she had in her possession. Abiu Talha saw
her and said: Messenger of Allah, this is Umm Sulaim. She is holding a
dagger. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) asked (her): What
for are you holding this dagger? She said: I took it up so that I may
tear open the belly of a polytheist who comes near me. The Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) began to smile (at these words). She said:
Messenger of Allah, kill all those
people-other than us-whom thou hast declared to be free (on the day of
the Conquest of Mecca). (They embraced Islam because) they were defeated
at your hands (and as such their Islam is not dependable). The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Umm Sulaim. God is
sufficient (against the mischief of the polytheists) and He will be kind
to us (so you need not carry this dagger).
(Book #019, Hadith #4453) |
| (137) It
has been narrated on the authority of Yazid b. Hurmuz that Najda wrote
to Ibn Abbas inquiring of him five things. Ibn Abbas said: If I had not
the fear of committing (sin) for concealing the knowledge I would not
have written to him. Najda wrote to him saying (after praising the
Almighty and invoking blessings on the Prophet): Tell me whether the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) took women to participate
with him in Jihad; (if he did), whether he allotted them a regular share
from the booty; whether he killed
the children of (the enemy in the war how long an orphan would be
entitled to consideration as such and for whom the Kbums (fifth part of
the booty) was booty. Ibn Abbas wrote to him: You have written asking me
whether the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) took women with
him to participate in Jihad. He did take them to the battle and
sometimes he fought along with them. They would treat the wounded and
were given a reward from the booty, but he did not assign any regular
share for them. And the of Allah (may peace be upon him) did not kill the children of the enemy, so thou shouldst not kill
the children. Also you have written to me asking me when the orphanhood
of an orphan comes to an end. By my life, if a man has become bearded
but is still incapable of getting his due from others as well u meeting
his obligation towards them, (he is yet an orphan to be treated you
such), but when he can look after his interests like grown-up people, he
is no longer an orphan. And you have written to me inquiring about
Khums as to whom it is meant for. (In this connection) we (the kinsmen
of the Messenger of Allah) used to say: It is for us, but those people
(i. e. Banu Umayya) have denied it to us.
(Book #019, Hadith #4456) |
| (138) This
tradition has been narrated by the game authority (Yazid b. Hurmus)
through a different chain of transmitters with the following difference
in the elucidation of one of the points raised by Najda in his letter to
Ibn Abas: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) used not to kill the children, so thou shouldst not kill them unless you could know what Khadir had known about the child he killed,
or you could distinguish between a child who would grow up to he a
believer (and a child who would grow up to be a non-believer), so that
you killed the (prospective) non-believer and left the (prospective) believer aside.
(Book #019, Hadith #4457) |
| (139) It
has been narrated on the authority of Yazid b. Hurmuz who said: Najda
b. 'Amir al-Haruri wrote to Ibn Abbas asking him about the slave and the
woman as to whether they would get a share from the booty (it they
participated in Jihad) ; about the killing
of (enemy) children (in war) ; about the orphan as to when his
orphanhood comes to an end; about kinsmen (of the Holy Prophet) as to
who they are. He said to Yazid: Write to him. (If he were not likely to
fall into folly, I would not have written to him.) Write: You have
written asking about the woman and the slave whether they would get a
share of the booty if they participated in Jihad. (You should know that)
there is nothing of the sort for them except that they will be given a
prize. And you have written asking me about the killing of the enemy children in war. (You should understand that) the Messenger of Allah (may peare be upon him) did not kill them. and thou shouldst not kill them unless thou knew what the companion of Moses (i. e. Khadir) knew about the boy he had killed.
And you have written asking me about the orphan as to when the period
of his orphanhood comes to an end, so that the sobriquet of" orphan" is
dropped from him. (In this regard, you should know that) the sobriquet"
orphan" will not be dropped from him until he attains maturity of body
and mind. And you have written asking me about the close relatives (of
the Holy Prophet) as to who they are. We think that it is we, but our
people have denied us this (position and its concomitant privileges).
(Book #019, Hadith #4458) |
| (140) It
has been narrated on the anthority of Yazid b. Hurmuz who said: Najda
wrote to Ibn Abbas. I was sitting in the company of Ibn 'Abbas when he
read his letter and wrote its reply. Ibn Abbas said: Were it not for
preventing him from falling into wickedness. I would not have replied to
his letter, may he never be joyful. He wrote in reply to him referring
to the share of the close relatives (of the Holy Prophet) (from the
booty) whom God has mentioned. (I have to tell you that) we thought we
were the close relatives of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him), but our people have refused to recognise us as such. You have
asked about the orphan as to when his orphanhood comes to an end. (I
have to say that) when he reaches the age of marriage, attains maturity
of mind, and his property is returned to him, then he is no longer an
orphan. You have inquired whether the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upo him) used to kill anyone from
the children of the polytheists in the war. (You should know that) the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) used not to kill any one of their children, and you (too) should not kill any one of them, except when you knew about them what Khadir had known about the boy whom he killed.
And you have inquired whether there is a fixed share of the booty for
women and slaves when they participate in a battle. (I have to tell you
that) there is no fixed share for them except that they will be given
some reward from the spoils of war.
(Book #019, Hadith #4460) |
| (141) It
has been reported on the authority of Abu Zubair who heard Jabir b.
Abdullah say: I fought in the company of the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) nineteen battles. Jabir said: I did not participate
in the Battle of Badr and the Battle of Uhud. My father prevented me
(from participating in these battles as my age was tender). After
'Abdullah (my father) was killed on
the Day of Ubud, I never lagged behind the Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) and joined every battle (he fought).
(Book #019, Hadith #4466) |
| (142) It
has been reported on the authority of Abu Musa who said: I went to the
Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) and with me were two men from the
Ash'ari tribe. One of them was on my right hand and the other on my
left. Both of them made a request for a position (of authority) while
the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) was brushing his teeth with a
tooth-stick. He said (to me): Abu Musa (or 'Abdullah b. Qais), what do
you say (about the request they have made)? I said: By God Who sent thee
on thy mission with truth, they did not disclose to me what they had in
their minds, and I did not know that they would ask for a position. The
narrator says (while recalling this hadith): I visualise as if I were
looking at the miswak of the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him)
between his lips. He (the Holy Prophet) said: We shall not or shall
never appoint to the public offices (in our State) those who with to
have them, but you may go, Abu Musa (or Abdullah b. Qais) (to take up
your assignment). He sent him to Yemen as governor. then he sent Mu'adh
b. jabal in his wake (to help him in the discharge of duties). When
Mu'adh reached the camp of Abu Musa, the latter (received him and) said:
Please get yourself down; and he spread for him a mattress, while there
was a man bound hand and foot as a prisoner. Mu'adh said: Who is this?
Abu Musa said: He was a Jew. He embraced Islam. Then he reverted to his
false religion and became a Jew. Mu'adh said: I won't sit until he is killed
according to the decree of Allah and His Apostle (may peace be upon
him) (in this case). Abu Musa said: Be seated. It will be done. He said:
I won't sit unless he is killed in
accordance with the decree of Allah and His Apostle (may peace be upon
him). He repeated these words thrice. Then Abu Musa ordered him (to be killed)
and he was kilied. Then the two talked of standing in prayer at night.
One of them, i. e. Mu'adh, said: I sleep (for a part of the night) and
stand in prayer (for a part) and I hope that I shall get the same reward
for steeping as I shall get for standing (in prayer).
(Book #020, Hadith #4490) |
| (143) It
has been narrated on the authority of 'Abd al-Rahman b. Abd Rabb
al-Ka'ba who said: I entered the mosque when 'Abdullah b. 'Amr b. al-'As
was sitting in the shade of the Ka'ba and the people had gathered
around him. I betook myself to them and sat near him. (Now) Abdullah
said: I accompanied the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) on a
journey. We halted at a place. Some of us began to set right their
tents, others began to compete with one another in shooting, and others
began to graze their beasts, when an announcer of the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) announced that the people should gather
together for prayer, so we gathered around the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him). He said: It was the duty of every Prophet that has
gone before me to guide his followers to what he knew was good for them
and warn them against what he knew was bad for them; but this Umma of
yours has its days of peace and (security) in the beginning of its
career, and in the last phase of its existence it will be afflicted with
trials and with things disagreeable to you. (In this phase of the
Umma), there will be tremendous trials one after the other, each making
the previous one dwindle into insignificance. When they would be
afflicted with a trial, the believer would say: This is going to bring
about my destruction. When at (the trial) is over, they would be
afflicted with another trial, and the believer would say: This surely is
going to be my end. Whoever wishes to be delivered from the fire and
enter the garden should die with faith in Allah and the Last Day and
should treat the people as he wishes to be treated by them. He who
swears allegiance to a Caliph should give him the piedge of his hand and
the sincerity of his heart (i. e. submit to him both outwardly as well
as inwardly). He should obey him to the best of his capacity. It another
man comes forward (as a claimant to Caliphate), disputing his
authority, they (the Muslims) should behead the latter. The narrator
says: I came close to him ('Abdullah b. 'Amr b. al-'As) and said to him:
Can you say on oath that you heard it from the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him)? He pointed with his hands to his ears and his heart
and said: My ears heard it and my mind retained it. I said to him: This
cousin of yours, Mu'awiya, orders us to unjustly consume our wealth
among ourselves and to kill one
another, while Allah says:" O ye who believe, do not consume your wealth
among yourselves unjustly, unless it be trade based on mutual
agreement, and do not kill
yourselves. Verily, God is Merciful to you" (iv. 29). The narrator says
that (hearing this) Abdullah b. 'Amr b. al-As kept quiet for a while and
then said: Obey him in so far as he is obedient to God; and diqobey him
in matters involving disobedience to God.
(Book #020, Hadith #4546) |
| (144) It
has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) said: One who defected from obedience (to
the Amir) and separated from the main body of the Muslims-if he died in
that state-would die the death of one belonging to the days of
Jahiliyya (i. e. would not die as a Muslim). One who fights under the
banner of a people who ate blind (to the cause for which they are
fighting. i. e. do not know whether their cause is just or otherwise),
who gets flared up with family pride, calls, (people) to fight for
their. family honour, and supports his kith and kin (i. e. fignts not
for the cause of Allah but for the sake of this family or tribe) -if he
is killed (in this fight), he dies as one belonging to the days of Jhiliyya. Whoso attacks my Umma (indiscriminately) killing
the righteous and the wicked of them, sparing not (even) those staunch
in faith and fulfilling not his promise made with those who have been
given a pledge of security-he has nothing to do with me and I have
nothing to do with him.
(Book #020, Hadith #4555) |
| (145) It
has been narrated (through a different chain of transmitters) on the
authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) said: Who defected from obedience (to the Amir) and separated from
the main body of the Muslim-then he died in that state-would die the
death of one belonging to the days of Jahillyya. And he who is killed
under the banner of a man who is blind (to the cause for which he is
fighting), who gets flared up with family pride and fights for his
tribe-is not from my Umma, and whoso from my followers attacks my
followers (indiscriminately) killing
the righteous and the wicked of them, sparing not (even) those staunch
in faith and fulfilling not his obligation towards them who have been
given a pledge (of security), is not from me (i. e. is not my follower).
(Book #020, Hadith #4557) |
| (146) It
has been narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Abdullah al-Bajali that the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: One who is killed
under the banner of a man who is blind (to his just cause), who raises
the slogan of family or supports his own tribe, dies the death of one
belonging to the days of Jahiliyya.
(Book #020, Hadith #4561) |
| (147) It
has been narrated on the authority of 'Arfaja who said: I have heard
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: Different evils will
make their appearance in the near future. Anyone who tries to disrupt
the affairs of this Umma while they are united you should strike him
with the sword whoever he be. (If remonstrance does not prevail with him
and he does not desist from his disruptive activities, he is to be killed.)
(Book #020, Hadith #4565) |
| (148) In
another version of the tradition narrated on the same authority through
a different chains of transmitters we have the words:" kill him."
(Book #020, Hadith #4566) |
| (149) It
has been narrated (through a still different chain of transmitters) on
the Same authority (i. e. 'Arfaja) who said similarly-but adding:" kill
all of them." I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
say: When you are holding to one single man as your leader, you should kill who seeks to undermine your solidarity or disrupt your unity.
(Book #020, Hadith #4567) |
| (150) It
has been narrated on the authority of Aba Sa'id al-Khudri that the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: When oath of allegiance
has been taken for two caliphs, kill the one for whom the oath was taken later.
(Book #020, Hadith #4568) |
| (151) It
has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of
Allah (may peace upon him) said: Allah has undertaken to look after the
affairs of one who goes out to fight in His way believing in Him and
affirming the truth of His Apostles. He is committed to His care that Re
will either admit him to Paradise or bring him back to his home from
where he set out with a reward or (his share of) booty. By the Being in
Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad. If a person gets wounded in the way
of Allah, he will come on the Day of Judgment with his wound in the same
condition as it was when it was first inflicted; its colour being the
colour of blood but its smell will be the smell of musk. By, the Being
in Whose Hand is Muhammad's life, if it were not to be too hard upon the
Muslime. I would not lag behind any expedition which is going to fight
in the cause of Allah. But I do not have abundant means to provide them
(the Mujahids) with riding beasts, nor have they (i. e. all of them)
abundant means (to provide themselves with all the means of Jihad) so
that they could he left behind. By the Being in Whose Hand is Mubammgls
lac, I love to fight in the way of Allah and be killed, to fight and again be killed and to fight again and be killed.
(Book #020, Hadith #4626) |
| (152) It
has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira who said: I heard the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: I would not stay behind
(when) an expedition (for Jihad was being mobilised) if it were going
to be too hard upon the believers.... This is followed by the same words
as have appeared in the previous tradition, but this tradition has the
same ending as the previous hadith with a slight difference in the
wording:" By the Being in Whose Hand is my life, I love that I should be
killed in the way of Allah; then I should be brought back to life and be killed again in His way...."
(Book #020, Hadith #4631) |
| (153) It
has been narrated on the authority of Anas b. Malik that the Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) said:" Nobody who dies and has
something good for him with Allah will (ever like to) return to this
world even though he were offered the whole world and all that is in its
(as an inducement), except the martyr who desires to return and be killed in the world for the (great) merit of martyrdom that he has seen.
(Book #020, Hadith #4634) |
| (154) It
has been narrated on the authority of Anas b. Malik (through a
different chain of transmitters) that the Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) said: Nobody who enters Paradise will (ever like to) return
to this world even if he were offered everything on the surface of the
earth (as an inducement) except the martyr who will desire to return to
this world and be killed ten times for the sake of the great honour that has been bestowed upon him.
(Book #020, Hadith #4635) |
| (155) It
has been narrated on the authority of Abu Qatada that the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) stood up among them (his Companions) to
deliver his sermon in which he told them that Jihad in the way of Allah
and belief in Allah (with all His Attributes) are the most meritorious
of acts. A man stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, do you think that
if I am killed in the way of Allah,
my sins will be blotted out from me? The Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) said: Yes, in case you are killed
in the way of Allah and you were patient and sincere and you always
fought facing the enemy, never turming your back upon him. Then he
added: What have you said (now)? (Wishing to have further assurance from
him for his satisfaction), he asked (again): Do you think if I am killed
in the way of Allah, all my sins will be obliterated from me? The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Yes, it you were
patient and sincere and always fought facing the enemy and never turning
your back upon him, (all your lapses would be forgiven) except debt.
Gabriel has told me this.
(Book #020, Hadith #4646) |
| (156) The
tradition has been narrated through a different chain of transmitters
on the authority of Abu Qatada who said: A man came to the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) while he was on the pulpit and said: Do
you think if I am killed in the way of Allah... (except this difference in its beginning, the rest of the tradition is the same as the previous one).
(Book #020, Hadith #4647) |
| (157) It
has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) said: God laughs at the two men both of
whom will enter Paradise (though) one of them kills
the other. They said: Messenger of Allah, how is it? He said: One of
them fights in the way of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted. and dies a
martyr. Then God turns in mercy to the murderer who embraces Islam,
fights in the way of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, and dies a martyr.
(Book #020, Hadith #4658) |
| (158) It
has been reported on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) said: God laughs at the two men one of
whom kills the other; both of them
will enter Paradise. They (the Companions) said: How, Messenger of
Allah? He said: One is slain (in the way of Allah) and enters Paradise.
Then God forgives the other and guides him to Islam; then he fights in
the way of Allah and dies a martyr.
(Book #020, Hadith #4660) |
| (159) It
has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger
Allah (may peace be upon him) said: A disbeliever and a believer who killed him will never be gathered together in Hell.
(Book #020, Hadith #4661) |
| (160) It
has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) said: No two such persons shall be
together in Hell as if one of them is such that his presence hurts the
other. It was asked: Messenger of Allah, who are they? He said: A
believer who killed a disbeliever and (then) kept to the right path."
(Book #020, Hadith #4662) |
| (161) It
has been narrated on the authority of Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari who said: A
man came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and said: My
riding beast has been killed, so
give me some animal to ride upon. He (the Holy Prophet) said: I have
none with me. A man said: Messenger of Allah, I can guide him to one who
will provide him with a riding beast. The Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) said: One who guides to something good has a reward
similar to that of its doer.
(Book #020, Hadith #4665) |
| (162) It has been reported on the authority of Jabir that a man said: Messenger of Allah, where shall I be if I am killed? He replied: In Paradise. The man threw away the dates he had in his hand and fought until he was killed
(i. e. he did not wait until he could finish the dates). In the version
of the tradition narrated by Suwaid we have the words:" A man said to
the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him). on the day of Uhud......"
(Book #020, Hadith #4678) |
| (163) It
has been reported on the authority of Bara! ' who stated: A man from
Banu Nabit (one of the Ansar tribes) came to the Holy Prophet (may peace
be upon him) and said: I testify that there is no god except Allah and
that thou art His bondman and Messenger. Then he went forward and fought
until he was killed. The Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) said: He has done a little but shall be given a great reward.
(Book #020, Hadith #4679) |
| (164) It
has been reported on the authority of Anas b. Malik who said: The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent Busaisah as a scout to
see what the caravan of Abu Sufyan was doing. He came (back and met the
Holy Prophet in his house) where there was nobody except myself and the
Messenger of Allah. I do not remember whether he (Hadrat Anas) made an
exception of some wives of the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) or
not and told him the news of the caravan. (Having heard the news), the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) came out (hurriedly), spoke
to the people and said: We are in need (of men) ; whoever has an animal
to ride upon ready with him should ride with us. People began to ask him
permission for bringing their riding animals which were grazing on the
hillocks near Medina. He said: No. (I want) only those who have their
riding animals ready. So the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
and his Companions proceeded towards Badr and reached there forestalling
the polytheists (of Mecca). When the polytheists (also) reached there,
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: None of you should
step forward to (do) anything unless I am ahead of him. The polytheists
(now) advanced (towards us), and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) said. Get up to enter Paradise which is equal in width to the
heavens and the earth. 'Umair b. al- Humam al-Ansari said: Messenger of
Allah, is Paradise equal in extent to the heavens and the earth? He
said: Yes. 'Umair said: My goodness! The Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) asked him: What prompted you to utter these words (i. e. my
goodness! ')? He said: Messenger of Allah, nothing but the desire that I
be among its residents. He said: Thou art (surely) amona its residents.
He took out dates from his bag and began to eat them. Then he said: If I
were to live until I have eaten all these dates of mine, it would be a
long life. (The narrator said): He threw away all the dates he had with
him. Then he fought the enemies until he was killed.
(Book #020, Hadith #4680) |
| (165) It
has been reported on the authority of Anas b. Malik that some people
came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and said to him:
Send with us some men who may teach us the Qur'an and the Sunnah.
Accordingjy, he sent seventy men from the Ansar. They were called the
Reciters and among them was my maternal uncle. Haram. They used to
recite the Qur'an, discuss and ponder over its meaning at night. In the
day they brought water and poured it (in pitchers) in the mosque,
collected wood and sold it, and with the sale proceeds bought food for
the people of the Suffa and the needy. The Holy Prophet (may peace be
upon him) sent the Reciters with these people, but these (treacherous
people) fell upon them and killed
thern before they reached their destination (While dying), they said: O
Allah, convey from us the news to our Prophet that we have met Thee (in a
way) that we are pleased with Thee and Thou art pleased with us. (The
narrator said): A man attacked Haram (maternal uncle of Anas) ) from
behind and smote him with a spear which pierced him. (While dying),
Haram said: By the Lord of the Ka'ba, I have met with success. The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said to his Companions: Your
brethren have been slain grid they were saying: O Allah, convey from us
to our Prophet the news that we have met Thee in a way that we are
pleased with Thee and Thou art pleased with us.
(Book #020, Hadith #4682) |
| (166) It
has been Deported on the authority of Anas who said: My uncle and I
have been named after him was not present with the Messenger of Allah
(mav peace be upon him) on the Day of Badr. He felt distressed about it.
He would say: I have missed the first battle fought by the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him), and if God now gives me an opportunity
to see a battlefield with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him), God will see what I do therein. He was afraid to say more than
this (lest he be unable to keep his word with God). He was present with
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) on the Day of Uhud. He
met Sa'd b. Mu'adh (who was retreating). Anas said to him: O Abu 'Amr,
where (are you going)? Woe (to thee)! I find the smell of Paradise
beside the Uhud mountain. (Reprimanding Sa'd in these words) he went
forward and fought thein (the enemy) until he was killed.
(The narrator says). More than eighty wounds inflicted with swords,
spears and arrows were found on his body. His sister, my aunt,
ar-Rubayyi', daughter of Nadr, said: I could not recognise my brother's
body (it was so badly mutilated) except from his finger-tips. (It was on
this occasion that) the Qur'anic verse:" Among the Believers are men
who have been true to their covenant with God. Of them some have
completed their vow (to the extreme), and some still wait: but they have
never changed (their determination) in the least" (xxxiii. 23). The
narrator said that the verse had been revealed about him (Anas b. Nadr)
and his Companions.
(Book #020, Hadith #4683) |
| (167) 'Adi
b. Hatim reported: I said: Messenger of Allah, I set off trained dogs
and they catch for me (the game) and I recite the came of Allah over it
(I slaughter the game by reciting Bismillah-i-Allah-o-Akbar), whereupon
he said: When you set off your trained dogs and you recited the name of
Allah (while setting them off), then eat (the game). I said: Even if
them (the trained dogs) kill that (the game)? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Even if these kill,
but (on the condition) that no other dog, which you did not set off
(along with your dogs), participates (in catching the game). I said to
him: I throw Mi'rad, a heavy featherless blunt arrow, for hunting and killing
(the game). Thereupon he said: When you throw Mi'rad, and it pierces,
then eat, but if it falls flatly (and beats the game to death), then do
not eat that.
(Book #021, Hadith #4732) |
| (168) 'Adi
b. Hatim reported: I asked Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
saying: We are a people who hunt with these (trained) dogs, then (what
should we do)? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: When you set of
your trained dogs having recited the name of Allah, then eat what these
(hounds) have caught for you, oven if it (the game) is killed,
provided (the hunting dog) has not eaten (any part of the game). If it
has eaten (the game), then you don't eat it as I fear that it might have
caught for its own self. And do not eat in case other dogs have joined
your trained dogs.
(Book #021, Hadith #4733) |
| (169) 'Adi
b. Hatim reported: I asked Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
about hunting the game with the help of Mi'rad, whereupon he said: If it
strikes (the game) with its point, then eat it, but if it strikes flat,
that is (the game is) beaten (into death), (then do not eat that) 'Adi
further said: I asked him about hunting with the help of a dog,
whereupon he said: If that (the dog) catches it (the game) for you and
does not eat out of that, then you eat (the game) for Dhakat
(slaughtering) of that is its being caught by it (by the dog). But if
you find another dog besides it, and you fear that that dog (the second
one) had caught it (the game) along with that (your dog) and killed
it. then don't eat; for you recited the name of Allah on your dog and
did not recite that on the other one (which joined your dog
incidentally).
(Book #021, Hadith #4737) |
| (170) Adi
b. Hatim reported: Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) said to
me: When you let off your dog, recite the name of Allah, and if it
catches (game for you) and you find it alive, then slaughter it; if you
find it killed and that (your dog)
has eaten nothing out of that, (even then) you may eat it; but if you
find along with your dog another dog, and (the game an) dead, then don't
eat, for you do not know which of the two has killed
it. And if you shoot your arrow, recite the name of Allah, but if it
(game) goes out of your sight for a day and you do not find on that but
the mark of your arrow, then eat that it you so like, but if you find it
drowned in water, then don't eat that.
(Book #021, Hadith #4741) |
| (171) 'Adi
b. Hatim reported: I asked Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
about hunting. He said: When you shoot your arrow, recite the name of
Allah, and if you find it (the arrow) killed
(that). then eat, except when you find it fallen into water, for in
that case you do not know whether it is water that caused its death or
your arrow.
(Book #021, Hadith #4742) |
| (172) This
hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Tha'laba al-
Khushani with a slight variation of (words): He (the Holy Prophet) said
in regard to the game killed by (a trained) dog: Eat after three days provided it has not gone rotten.
(Book #021, Hadith #4747) |
| (173) 'Abdullah
b. Mughaffal reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
prohibited throwing of pebbles. Ibn Ja'far reported (in the narration
transmitted by him) that he (the Holy Prophet) said: It neither inflicts
defeat to the enemy nor kills the
game but breaks the tooth and puts the eye out. This hadith has been
transmitted on the authority of Ibn Mahdi with a slight variation of
wording.
(Book #021, Hadith #4807) |
| (174) Shaddid
b. Aus said: Two are the things which I remember Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) having said: Verily Allah has enjoined goodness to
everything; so when you kill, kill
in a good way and when you slaughter, slaughter in a good way. So every
one of you should sharpen his knife, and let the slaughtered animal die
comfortably.
(Book #021, Hadith #4810) |
| (175) Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) forbade that any beast should be killed after it has been tied. (Book #021, Hadith #4817) |
| (176) Anas
b. Malik reported: I was the cup-bearer of some people in the house of
Abu Talha on the day when liquor was forbidden. Their liquor had been
prepared from dry dates or fresh dates when the announcer made the
announcement. He (Abu Talha) said to me: Go out and find out (what the
announcement is). I got out (and found) an announcer making this
announcement: Behold, liquor has been declared unlawful. He said: The
liquor (was spilt and) flawed in the lanes of Medina. Abu Talha said to
me: Go out and Spill it, and I spilt it. They said or some of them said:
Such and such were killed, such and such were killed
for (the wine) had been in their stomachs. He (the narrator) said. I do
not know whether it is the narration transmitted by Anas, (or by
someone else). Then Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, revealed:" There
shall be no sin (imputed) unto those who have believed and done good
works for what they may have eaten as long as they fear (Allah) and
believe and do good works" (v. 93).
(Book #023, Hadith #4882) |
| (177) Abu
Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) went
out (of his house) one day or one night, and there he found Abu Bakr and
'Umar also. He said: What has brought you out of your houses at this
hour? They said: Allah's Messenger, it is hunger. Thereupon he said: By
Him in Whose Hand is my life, what has brought you out has brought me
out too; get up. They got up along with him. and (all of them) came to
the house of an Ansari, but he was not at home. When his wife saw him
she said: Most welcome, and Allah's Messenger (may peace be Upon him)
said to her: Where is so and so? She said: He has gone to get some fresh
water for us. When the Ansari came and he saw Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) and his two Companions, he said: Praise be to Allah,
no one has more honourable guests today than I (have). He then went out
and brought them a bunch of ripe dates, dry dates and fresh dates, and
said: Eat some of them. He then took hold of his long knife (for
slaughtering a goat or a sheep). Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) said to him: Beware of killing a
milch animal. He slaughtered a sheep for them and after they had eaten
of it and of the bunch and drank, and when they had taken their fill and
had been fully satisfied with the drink, Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) said to Abu Bakr and Umar: By Him in Whose Hand is my life,
you will certainly be questioned about this bounty on the Day of
judgment. Hunger brought you out of your house, then you did not return
until this bounty came to you.
(Book #023, Hadith #5055) |
| (178) Maimuna
reported that one morning Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was
silent with grief. Maimuna said: Allah's Messenger, I find a change in
your mood today. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Gabriel
had promised me that he would meet me tonight, but he did not meet me.
By Allah, he never broke his promises, and Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) spent the day in this sad (mood). Then it occurred to him
that there had been a puppy under their cot. He commanded and it was
turned out. He then took some water in his hand and sprinkled it at that
place. When it was evening Gabriel met him and he said to him: you
promised me that you would meet me the previous night. He said: Yes, but
we do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture. Then on
that very morning he commanded the killing of the dogs until he announced that the dog kept for the orchards should also be killed, but he spared the dog meant for the protection of extensive fields (or big gardens).

| (179) Anas
reported that a Jewess came to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) with poisoned mutton and he took of that what had been brought to
him (Allah's Messenger). (When the effect of this poison were felt by
him) he called for her and asked her about that, whereupon she said: I
had determined to kill you.
Thereupon he said: Allah will never give you the power to do it. He (the
narrator) said that they (the Companion's of the Holy Prophet) said:
Should we not kill her? Thereupon he said: No. He (Anas) said: I felt (the affects of this poison) on the uvula of Aitah's Messenger.
(Book #026, Hadith #5430) |
| (180) Jabir
b. 'Abdullah reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as
saying: There is no transitive disease, no safar, no ghoul. He (the
narrator) said: I heard Abu Zubair say: Jabir explained for them the
word safar. Abu Zubair said: safar means belly. It was said to Jabir:
Why is it so? He said that it was held that safar implied the worms of
the belly, but he gave no explanation of ghoul. Abu Zubair said: Ghoul
is that which kills the travellers.
(Book #026, Hadith #5516) |
| (181) 'A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) commanded the killing of a snake having stripes over it, for it affects eyesight and miscarries pregnancy.
(Book #026, Hadith #5542) |
| (182) This
hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Hisham. He said: The
short-tailed snake and the snake having stripes over it should be killed.
(Book #026, Hadith #5543) |
| (183) Salim, on the authority of his father. reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: kill
the snakes having stripes over them and short-tailed snakes, for these
two types cause miscarriage (of a pregnant woman) and they affect the
eyesight adversely. So Ibn 'Umar used to kill
every snake that he found. Abu Lubaba b. 'Abd al-Mundhir and Zaid b.
Khattab saw him pursuing a snake, whereupon he said: They were forbidden
(to kill) those snakes who live in houses.
(Book #026, Hadith #5544) |
| (184) Ibn 'Umar reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) commanding the killing of dogs and the killing
of the striped and the short-tailed snakes, for both of them affect the
eyesight adversely and cause miscarriage. Zuhri said: We thought of
their poison (the pernicious effects of these two). Allah, however,
knows best. 'Abdullah b. 'Umar said: I did not spare any snake. I rather
killed everyone that I saw. One day
as I was pursuing a snake from amongst the snakes of the house, Zaid b.
Khattab or Abu Lubaba happened to pass by me and found me pursuing it.
He said: 'Abdullah, wait. I said: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) commanded (us) to kill them, whereupon he said that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) forbade the killing
of the snakes of the houses. This hadith has been narrated on the
authority of Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters but with a slight
variation of wording.
(Book #026, Hadith #5545) |
| (185) Nafi'
reported that Abu Lubaba talked to Ibn 'Umar to open a door in his
house which would bring them nearer to the mosque and they found a fresh
slough of the snake, whereupon 'Abdullah said: Find it out and kill it. Abu Lubaba said: Don't kill them, for Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) forbade the killing of the snakes found in houses.
(Book #026, Hadith #5546) |
| (186) Nafi' reported that Ibn 'Urnar used to kill
all types of snakes until Abu Lubaba b. 'Abd al-Mundhir Badri reported
that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had forbidden the killing of the snakes of the houses, and so he abstained from it.
(Book #026, Hadith #5547) |

reported that Abu Lubaba b. 'Abd al-Mundhir al-Ansari (first) lived in
Quba. He then shifted to Medina and as he was in the company of
'Abdullah b. 'Umar opening a window for him, he suddenly saw a snake in
the house. They (the inmates of the house) attempted to kill that. Thereupon Abu Lubaba said: They had been forbidden to make an attempt to kill house snakes and they had been commanded to kill
the snakes having small tails, small snakes and those having streaks
over them, and it was said: Both of them affect the eyes and cause
miscarriage to women.
(Book #026, Hadith #5550) |
| (190) Nafi'
reported on the authority of his father that as 'Abdullah b. 'Umar saw
one day (standing) near the ruin (of his house) the slough of a snake
and said (to the people around him): Pursue this snake and kill it. Abu Lubaba Ansari said: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). He forbade the killing
of snakes found in the houses except the short-tailed snakes and those
having streaks upon them, for both of them obliterate eyesight and
affect that which is in the wombs of (pregnant) women.
(Book #026, Hadith #5551) |
| (191) Nafi'
reported that Abu Lubaba happened to pass by Ibn 'Umar who lived in the
fortified place near the house of 'Umar b. Khattab and was busy in
keeping his eyes upon a snake and killing it, the rest of the hadith is the same.
(Book #026, Hadith #5552) |
| (192) 'Abdullah
reported: We were with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) in a
cave when there was revealed to him (the Sura al-Mursalat, i. e. Sura
lxxvii.:" By those sent forth to spread goodness" ) and we had just
heard (it) from his lips that there appeared before us a snake. He said:
kill it. We hastened to kill
it, but it slipped away from us, thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) said: Allah saved it from your harm just as he saved you
from its evil.
(Book #026, Hadith #5553) |
| (193) 'Abdullah
reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) commanded a
Muhrim (one who is in the state of pilgrimage) to kill the snake at Mina.

| (194) Abu
as-Sa'ib, the freed slaved of Hisham b. Zuhra, said that he visited Abu
Sa'id Khudri in his house, (and he further) said: I found him saying
his prayer, so I sat down waiting for him to finish his prayer when I
heard a stir in the bundles (of wood) lying in a comer of the house. I
looked towards it and found a snake. I jumped up in order to kill
it, but he (Abu Sa'id Khudri) made a gesture that I should sit down. So
I sat down and as he finished (the prayer) he pointed to a room in the
house and said: Do you see this room? I said: Yes. He said: There was a
young man amongst us who had been newly wedded. We went with Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) (to participate in the Battle) of
Trench when a young man in the midday used to seek permission from
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) to return to his family. One
day he sought permission from him and Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) (after granting him the permission) said to him: Carry your
weapons with you for I fear the tribe of Quraiza (may harm you). The man
carried the weapons and then came back and found his wife standing
between the two doors. He bent towards her smitten by jealousy and made a
dash towards her with a spear in order to stab her. She said: Keep your
spear away and enter the house until you see that which has made me
come out. He entered and found a big snake coiled on the bedding. He
darted with the spear and pierced it and then went out having fixed it
in the house, but the snake quivered and attacked him and no one knew
which of them died first, the snake or the young man. We came to Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) and made a mention to him and said:
Supplicate to Allah that that (man) may be brought back to life.
Thereupon he said: Ask forgiveness for your companion and then said:
There are in Medina jinns who have accepted Islam, so when you see any
one of them, pronounce a warning to it for three days, and if they
appear before you after that, then kill it for that is a devil.
(Book #026, Hadith #5557) |
| (195) Asma'
b. 'Ubaid reported about a person who was called as-Sa'ib having said:
We visited Abu Sa'id Khudri. When we had been sitting (with him) we
heard a stir under his bed. When we looked we found a big snake, the
rest of the hadith is the same. And in this Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) is reported to have said: Verily in these houses there
live aged (snakes), so when you see one of them, make life hard for it
for three days, and if it goes away (well and good), otherwise kill
it for (in that case) it would be a nonbeliever. And he (the Holy
Prophet) said (to his Companions): Go and bury your companion (who had
died by the snake bite).
(Book #026, Hadith #5558) |
| (196) Abu
Sa'id Khudri reported Allah's Messenger having said: There is a group
of jinns in Medina who accepted Islam, so he who would see anything from
these occupants should warn him three times; and if he appears after
that, he should kill him for he is a satan.

An Apostle from amongst the Apostles of Allah encamped under a tree, and
an ant bit him, and he commanded his belongings to be removed from

Musa reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The
similitude of mine and of that with which Allah sent me is that of a
person who came to us and said: O people, I have seen an army with my
eyes and I am a plain warner (and issue you warning) that you should
immediately manage to find an escape. A group of people from amongst
them paying heed (to his warning) fled to a place of protection and a
group amongst them belied him and the morning overtook them in their
houses and the army attacked them and killed
them and they were routed. And that is the similitude of the one who
obeyed me, followed with which I had been sent and the similitude of the
other is of one who disobeyed and belied me and the Truth with which I
have been sent.

b. 'Amir reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
Allah's Messenger offered prayer over those who had fallen matyrs at
Uhud. He then climbed the pulpit as if someone is saying good-bye to the
living and the dead, and then said: I shall be there as your predecesor
on the Cistern before you, and it is as wide as the distance between
Aila and Juhfa (Aila is at the top of the gulf of 'Aqaba). I am not
afraid that you would associate anything with Allah after me, but I am
afraid that you may be (allured) by the world and (vie) with one another
(in possessing material wealth) and begin killing
one another, and you would be destroyed as were destroyed those who had
gone before you. 'Uqba said that that was the last occasion that he saw
Allah's Massenger on the pulpit.

said: If you were not to do it, it might be good for you. (So they
abandoned this practice) and there was a decline in the yield. He (the
Holy Prophet) happened to pass by them (and said): What has gone wrong
with your trees? They said: You said so and so. Thereupon he said: You
have better knowledge (of a technical skill) in the affairs of the world.

b. jubair reported: I said to Ibn Abbas that Nauf al-Bikali was of the
opinion that Moses (peace be upon him), the Apostle of Bani Isra'il, was
not the same who accompanied Khadir, whereupon he said: The enemy of
Allah tells a lie. I heard Ubayy b. Ka'b say: Moses (peace be upon him)
stood up to give sermon to the people of Isra'il. He was asked as to who
amongst the people has the best knowledge, whereupon he said: I have
the best knowledge. Thereupon Allah was annoyed with him that he did not
attribute (the best knowledge) to Him. He revealed to him: A servant
amongst My servants is at the junction of two rivers who has more
knowledge than yours. Moses said: How can I meet him? It was said to
him: Carry a fish in the large basket and the place where you find it
missing there you will find him. Thereupon Moses proceeded forth along
with a young man (Yusha'). Joshua b. Nan and Moses (peace be upon him)
put the fish in the basket and there went along with him the young man
(Yusha') until they came to a certain rock and Moses and his companion
went to sleep and the fish stirred in that basket and fell into the
ocean and Allah stopped the current of water like a vault until the way
was made for the fish. Moses and his youn. companion were astonished and
they walked for the rest of the day and the night and the friend of
Moses forgot to inform him of this incident. When it was morning, Moses
(peace be upon him) said to the young man: Bring for us the breakfast
for we are dead tired because of this journey, and they did not feel
exhausted until they had passed that place where they had been commanded
(to stay). He said: Don't you know that when we reached the Sakhra
(rock) I forgot the fisii and noth ng made me forget it but the satan
that I. could nit remember it? How strange is it that the fish found a
way in the river? Moses said: That was what we had been aiming at. Then
both of them retraced their steps until they reached Sakhra; there they
saw a man covered with a cloth. Moses greeted him. Khadir said to him:
Where is as-Salam in our country.? He said: I am Moses, whereupon he
(Khadir) said: You mean the Moses of Bani Isra'il? He said: Yes. He
(Khadir) said: You have a knowledge out of the knowledge of Allah which
in fact Allah imparted to you and about that I know nothing and I have
knowledge out of Allah's knowledge which He imparted to me and about
that you do not know. Moses (peace be upon him) said to him: May I
follow you so that you may teach me that with which you have been taught
righteousness. He said: You will not be able to bear with me; how you
will be able to bear that about which you do not know? Moses said: Thou
wilt find me patient, nor shalt I disobey you in aught. Khadir said to
him: If you were to follow me, then do not ask me about anything until I
myself speak to you about it. He said: Yes. So Khadir and Moses set
forth on the bank of the river that there came before them a boat. Both
of theni talked to them (the owners of the boat) so that they might
carry both of them. They had recognised Khadir and they carried them
free. Khadir thereupon took hold of a plank in the boat and broke it
away. Moses said: These people have carried us without any charge and
you attempt to break their boat so that the people sailing in the boat
may drown. This is (something) grievous that you have done. He said: Did
I not say that you would not bear with me? He said: Blame me not for
what I forgot and be not hard upon what I did. Then both of them got
down from the boat and began to walk along the coastline that they saw a
boy who had been playing with other boys. Khadir pulled up his head and
killed him. Moses said: Have you killed
an innocent person who is in no way guilty of slaying another? You have
done something horrible. Thereupon he said: Did I not say to you that
you will not be able to bear with me? He (Moses) said: This (act) is
more grievous than the first one. He (Moses) further said. If I ask you
about anything after this, keep not company with me, then you would no
doubt find (a plausible) excuse for this. Then they both walked on until
they reached the inhabitants of a village. They asked its inhabitants
for food but they refused to entertain them as their guests. They found
in it a wall which had been bent on one side and was about to fall.
Khadir set it right with his own hand. Moses, said to him: It is the
people to whom we came but they showed us no hospitality and they did
not serve us food. If you wish you can get wages for it. He (Khadir)
said: This is the parting of ways between mt and you. Now I wish to
reveal to you the significance of that for which you could not bear with
me. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said. May Allah have
mercy upon Moses! I wish if Moses could show patience and a (fuller)
story of both of them could have been told. Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) said that the first thing which Moses said was out of
forgetfulness. Then there came a sparrow until it perched on the wall of
the boat and took water from the ocean. Thereupon, Khadir said: My
knowledge and your knowledge in comparison with the knowledge of Allah
is even less than the water taken by the sparrow in its beak in
comparison to the water of the ocean, and Sa'id b. jubair used to recite
(verses 79 and 80 of Sura Kahf) in this way: There was before them a
king who used to seize every boat by force which was in order, the boy
was an unbeliever.
(Book #030, Hadith #5864) |
| (211) Sa,
id b. jubair reported that it was said to Ibn 'Abbas that Nauf
al-Bikali was of the opinion that Moses who went in search of knowledge
was not the Moses of Bani Isra'il. He said: Sa'id, did you hear it from
him? I said: Yes. Thereupon he said that Nauf had not stated the fact.
Ubayy b. Ka'b narrated to us that he had heard Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) as saying: Moses had been delivering sermons to his
people. And he made this remark: No person upon the earth has better
knowledge than I or nothing better than mine. Thereupon Allah revealed
to him: I know one who is better than you (in knowledge) or there is a
person on the earth having more knowledge than you. Thereupon he said:
My Lord, direct me to him. It was said to him: Keep a salted fish as a
provision for journey. The place where that fish would be lost (there
you will find that man). So he set forth and a young slave along with
him until they came to a place Sakhra. but he did not find any clue. So
he proceeded on and left that young man there. The fish began to stir in
water and the water assumed the form of an ark over the fish. The young
man said: I should meet Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) and inform
him, but he was made to forget and when they had gone beyond that place,
he (Moses) said to the young man: Bring breakfast. We have been
exhausted because of the journey, and he (Moses) was not exhausted until
he had crossed that (particular) place (where he had) to meet Khadir,
and the youth was reminded and said: Did you not see that as we reached
Sakhra I forgot the fish and it is satan alone who has made me forgetful
of it'? It is strange that he has been able to find way in the ocean
too. He said: This is what we sought for us. They returned retracing
their steps, and he (his companion) pointed to him the location (where)
the fish (had been lost). Moses began to search him there. He suddenly
saw Khadir wrapped in a cloth and lying on his back. He said to him:
As-Salamu-'Alaikum. He removed the cloth from his face and said: Wa
'Alaikum-us-Salam! Who are you? He said: I am Moses. He said: Who Moses?
He said: Moses Of Bani Isra'il. He said: What brought you here? He
said: I have come so that you may teach me what you have been taught of
righteousness. He said: You shall have to bear with me, and how can you
have patience about a thing of which you have no comprehensive
knowledge? You will not have patience when you see me doing a thing I
have been ordered to do. He said: If Allah pleases, you will find me
patient, nor shall I disobey you in aught. Khadir said: If you follow
me, don't ask me about anything until I explain it to you. So they went
on until they embarked upon a boat. He (Khadir) made a hole in that.
Thereupon he (Moses) said: You have done this so that you may drown the
persons sitting in the boat. You have done something grievous. Thereupon
he said: Did I not tell you that you will not be able to bear with me?
Thereupon he (Moses) said: Blame me not for what I forgot and be not
hard upon me for what I did. (Khadir gave him another chance.) So they
went on until they reached a place where boys were playing. He went to
one of them and caught hold'of one (apparently) at random and killed him. Moses (peace be upon him) felt agitated and said: You have killed
an innocent person not guilty of slaying another. You have done
something aboininable. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) said: May Allah have mercy upon us and Moses. Had he shown patience
he would have seen wonderful things, but fear of blame, with respect to
his companion, seized him and he said: If I ask anything after this,
keep not company with me. You will then have a valid excuse in my case,
and had he (Moses) shown patience he would have seen many wonderful
things. He (the narrator) said: Whenever he (the Holy Prophet) made
mention of any Prophet, he always said: May there be mercy of Allah upon
us and upon my brother so and so. They, however, proceeded on until
they came to the inhabitants of a village who were very miserly. They
went to the meeting places and asked for hospitality but they refused to
show any hospitality to them. They both found in that village a wall
which was about to fall. He (Khadir) set it right. Thereupon he (Moses)
said: If you so liked. you could get wages for it. Thereupon he said:
This is the partince, of ways between me and you, and, taking hold of
his cloth, he said: Now I will explain to you the real significance (of
all these acts) for which you could not show patience. As for the boat,
it belonged to the poor people working on the river and I intended to
damage it for there was ahead of them (a king) who seized boats by
force. (When he came) to catch hold of it he found it a damaged boat, so
he spared it (and later on) it was set right with wood. So far as the
boy is concerned, he has been, by very nature, an unbeliever, whereas
his parents loved him very much. Had he grown up he would have involved
them in wrongdoing and unbelief, so we wished that their Lord should
give them in its place one better in purity and close to mercy. And as
for the wall it belonged to two orphan boys in the city and there was
beneath it a (treasure) belongin to them,... up to the last verse. This
hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Ishaq.

house of any woman except that of his wives and that of Umm Sulaim. He
used to visit her. It was said to him why it was so, whereupon he said: I

Barza reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) was there
in a battlefield that Allah conferred upon him the spoils of war. He
said to his Companions: Is anyone missing amongst you? They said: So and
so and so. He again said: Is there anyone missing amongst you? They
said: So and so and so. He then said: Is there anyone missing amongst
you? They said: No. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: But I am
missing Julaibib. They (his Companions) searched him amongst those who
had been killed and they found him by the side of seven (dead bodies) whom he had killed and he had been killed (by the oppoments). Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) came there and stood (by his side) and said: He killed seven (persons). Then (his opponents) killed
him. He is mine and I am his. He then placed him upon his hands and
there was none else to lift but Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him).
Then the grave was dug for him and he was placed in the grave and no
mention is made of a bath.

reported that there was in pre-Islamic days a temple called Dhu'l-
Khalasah and it was called the Yamanite Ka'ba or the northern Ka'ba.
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said unto me: Will you rid me
of Dhu'l-Khalasah and so I went forth at the head of 350 horsemen of the
tribe of Ahmas and we destroyed it and killed
whomsoever we found there. Then we came back to him (to the Holy
Prophet) and informed him and he blessed us and the tribe of Ahmas.

| (215) Abu
Burda reported on the authority of his father that when Allah's Apostle
(may peace be upon him) had been free from the Battle of Hunain, he
sent Abu 'Amir as the head of the army of Autas. He had an encounter
with Duraid b. as_Simma. Duraid was killed
and Allah gave defeat to his friends. Abu Musa said: He (the Holy
Prophet) sent me along with Abu 'Amir and Abu 'Amir received a wound in
his knee from the arrow, (shot by) a person of Bani Jusham. It stuck in
his knee. I went to him and said: Uncle, who shot an arrow upon you? Abu
'Amir pointed out to Abu Musa and said: Verily that one who shot an
arrow upon me in fact killed me. Abu Musa said: I followed him with the determination to kill
him and overtook him and when he saw me he turned upon his heels. I
followed him and I said to him: Don't you feel ashamed (that you run),
aren't you an Arab? Why don't you stop? He stopped and I had an
encounter with him and we exchanged the strokes of (swords). I struck
him with the sword and killed him. Then I came back to Abu Amir and said: Verily Allah has killed the one who killed
you. And he said: Now draw out this arrow. I drew out the arrow and
there came out from that (wound) water. Abu 'Amir said: My nephew, go to
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and convey my greetings to
him and tell him that Abu Amir begs you to ask forgiveness for him. And
Abu Amir appointed me as the chief of the people and he died after a
short time. When I came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) I
visited him and he had been lying on the cot woven by strings and there
was (no) bed over it and so there had been marks of the strings on the
back of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and on his sides. I
narrated to him what had happened to us and narrated to him about Abu
Amir and said to him that he had made a request to the effect that
forgiveness should be sought for him (from Allah). Thereupon Allah's
Messenger (may peace be. upon him) called for water and performed
ablution with it. He then lifted his hands and said. O Allah, grant
pardon to Thy servant Abu Amir. (The Holy Prophet had raised his hands
so high for supplication) that I saw the whiteness of his armpits. He
again said: O Allah, grant him distinction amongst the majority of Thine
created beings or from amongst the people. I said: Allah's Messenger,
ask forgiveness for me too. Thereupon Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon
him) said: Allah, forgive the sins of Abdullah b. Qais (Abu Musa
Ash'ari) and admit him to an elevated place on the Day of Resurrection.
Abu Burda said: One prayer is for abu 'Amir and the other is tor Abu
Musa.

b. Abdullah reported: We were along with Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) in an expedition that a person from amongst the emigrants
struck at the back of a person from the Ansir. The Ansiri said: O Ansar!
And the Muhijir said: O Emigrants! Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) said: What are these proclamations of the Days of
Ignorance? They said: Allah's Messenger, a person from the emigrants
struck at the back of an Ansari, whereupon he said: It is something
disgusting. 'Abdullah b. Ubayy heard it and said: They have indeed done
it. By Allah, when we would return to Medina the respectable amongst
them (the Ansar) would turn away the mean (the emigrants). Thereupon
'Umar said: Permit me so that I should strike the neck of this
hypocrite. But he (the Holy Prophet) said: Leave him, the people may not
say that Muhammad kills his companions.
(Book #032, Hadith #6255) |
| (217) Abu
Huraira reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as
saying: One is not strong because of one's wrestling skillfully. They said: Allah's Messenger, then who is strong? He said: He who controls his anger when he is in a fit of rage.
(Book #032, Hadith #6314) |
| (218) Ubayy b. Ka'b reported that AUah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The young man whom Khadir killed was a non-believer by his very nature and had he survived he would have involved his parents in defiance and unbelief.
(Book #033, Hadith #6434) |
| (219) Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There was a person before you who had killed
ninety-nine persons and then made an inquiry about the learned persons
of the world (who could show him the way to salvation). He was directed
to a monk. He came to him and told him that he had killed ninety-nine persons and asked him whether there was any scope for his repentance to be accepted. He said: No. He killed
him also and thus completed one hundred. He then asked about the
learned persons of the earth and he was directed to a scholar, and he
told him that he had killed one
hundred persons and asked him whether there was any scope for his
repentance to be accepted. He said: Yes; what stands between you and the
repentance? You better go to such and such land; there are people
devoted to prayer and worship and you also worship along with them and
do not come to the land of yours since it was an evil land (for you). So
he went away and he had hardly covered half the distance when death
came to him and there was a dispute between the angels of mercy and the
angels of punishment. The angels of mercy said: This man has come as a
penitant and remorseful to Allah and the angels of punishment said: He
has done no good at all. Then there came another angel in the form of a
human being in order to decide between them. He said: You measure the
land to which he has drawn near. They measured it and found him nearer
to the land where he intended to go (the land of piety), and so the
angels of mercy took possession of it. Qatada said that Hasan told him
that it was said to them that as death approached him, he crawled upon
his chest (and managed) to slip in the land of mercy.
(Book #037, Hadith #6662) |
| (220) Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying that a man killed
ninety-nine persons and then he began to make an inquiry whether there
was any way left for him for repentance. He came to a monk and asked him
about that, and he said: There is no chance for repentance for you. He killed
the monk also and then began to make an inquiry and moved from one
village to another village where there lived pious persons, and as he
had covered some distance, he was overtaken by death, but he managed to
crawl upon his chest (to the side nearer to the place where the pious
men lived). He died and then there was a dispute between the angels of
mercy and the angels of punishment and (when it was measured) he was
found to be nearer to the village where pious persons were living equal
to the Space of a span and he was thus included among them.
(Book #037, Hadith #6663) |
| (221) Sa'id
b. Musayyib, 'Urwa b. Zubair, 'Alqama b. Waqqas and 'Ubaidullah b.
Abdullah b. 'Utba b. Mas'ud--all of them reported the story of the false
allegation against 'A'isha, the wife of Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him). And they (the slanderers) said what they had to say, but
Allah exonerated her of this charge and all of them reported a part of
the hadith and some of them who had better memories reported more and
with better retention, and I tried to retain this hadith (listening)
from every one of them that they reported to me and some of them
attested the other. (The sumaried substance of the false allegation is
this): 'A'isha said: Whenever Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
intended to set out on a journey he cast lots amongst his wives and he
took one with him in whose favour the lot was cast. It so happened that
he cast lots amongst us while setting out on a battle and it was cast in
my favour, so I set out along with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him). This relates to the period when the revelation concerning the
commands of veil had been made. I was carried in a haudaj and I was
brought down where we had to stay. In short, when we set out for return
journey from the expedition and our caravan was near Medina, Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) commanded one night to march forward. I
also got up when the command for the march was given and moved on until
I went out of the encampments of the army and after relieving myself I
came to my place. I touched my chest and found that my necklace which
had been made of the stones of zafar had been broken. I retraced my
steps and tried to search my necklace and this detained me there. The
group of people who saddled my ride and placed my haudaj carrying me
upon the camels marched on. They were under the impression that I was in
it. The women in those days were light of weight and they did not wear
much flesh, as they ate less food; so they did not perceive the weight
of my haudaj as they placed it upon the camel as I was a young girl at
that time. So they drove the camel and Eet out and I found my necklace
after the army had marched. I came to my place and there was none to
call and none to respond (the call). I waited at my place under the
impression that when the people would riot find me they would come back.
So I kept sitting at my place. I was overpowered by sleep and slept.
Safwan b. Mu'attal Sulami Dhakwini, who had lagged behind the army
because of taking rest came to my place walking in the latter part of
the night and he saw the body of a person who was asleep. He came to me
and recognised me as he had seen rue before it was enjoined to observe
purda. I got ap by his voice as he recited Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi
raji'un [we are for Allah and to Him we have to return. ] and I covered
my head with my headdress. By Allah, he did not speak to me a word and I
did not hear a word from him except Inna lillahi. He made his camel
kneel down and I amounted the camel as he pressed tLe camel's foreleg
and he moved on leaning the camel by the nose string on which I was
riding until we came to the army where it had encamped for rest because
of extreme heat. Woe be upon those who harboured doubts about me and the
most notorious among them was 'Abdullah b. Ubayy, the great hypocrite.
We came to Medina and I fell sick for a month. The people had been
deliberating over the statements of those who had brought these
calumnies against me. I was absolutely unaware of anything concerning
that. This, however, caused doubt in my mind that I did not see Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him.) treating me with such kindness with
which he treated me as I fell ill before this. The Holy Prophet (may
peace be upon him) would coome and greet me with Assalam-o-'Alaikum and
only ask me how I was. This caused doubt in my mind, but I was unaware
of the evil. I wept outside despite my failing health and there went
along with me Umm Mistah and she said the daughter of Abu Rhm b.
Muttalib b. 'Abd Manaf and his mother was the daughter of Sakhr b.
'Amir, the sister of the mother of Abu Bakr Sidiq and his son was Mistah
b. Uthatha b. 'Abbad b. Muttalib. I and the daughter of Abu Rahm set
towards the direction of my house. Something got into the head dress of
Umm Mistah and she said: Woe be upon Mistah. And I said. Woe be upon
what you say. Do you curse people who had participated in Badr? She
said: Innocent woman, have you not heard what he said? I said: What did
he say? She conveyed to me the statement of those who had brought false
allegations against me. So my illness was aggravated. I went to my house
and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) came to me and he greeted
me and then said: How is that woman? I said: Do you permit me to go to
the (house) of my parents? She (further) said: I had at that time made
up my mind to confirm this news from them. Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) permitted me. So I came to (the house of) my parents and
said to my mother: Mother, do you know what the people are talking
about? She said: My daughter, you should not worry. By Allah, if there
is a handsome woman who is loved by her husband and he has co-wives also
they talk many a thing about her. I said: Hallowed be Allah, what are
the people talking about? I wept during the whole night until it was
morning and I did not have a wink of sleep and I wept even in the
morning. As the revelation was delayed (in regard to this matter), so
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) called 'Ali ibn Abi 'Talib and
Usama b. Zaid in order to seek their advice in regard to the separation
of his wife. Usama b. Zaid told Allah's Messenger (may peace be apen
him) about the innocence of his wives and what he knew about his love
for them. He said: Allah's Messenger, they are your wives and we know
nothing else about thembut goodness. And as for 'Ali b. Abu Talib, he
said: Allah has not put any unnecessary burden upon you (in regard to
your wives). There are a number of women besides her and if you ask that
maidservant (Barira) she will tell you the truth. So, Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) called Bailra and said: Barira, did you see
anything in 'A'isha which can cause doubt about her? Barira said: By Him
Who sent thee with the truth, I have seen nothing objectionable in her
but only this much that she is a young girl and she goes to sleep while
kneading the flour and the lamb eats that. Thereupon Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) mounted the pulpit and sought vindication
against 'Abdullah b. Ubayy b. Salul, and he further said: Who would
exonerate me from imputations of that person who has troubled (me) in
regard to my family? By Allah, I find nothing in my wife but goodness
and the person whom the people have mentioned in this connection is,
according to my knowledge, a thoroughly pious person, and he did never
get into my house but along with me. Sa'd b. Mu'adh stood up and said:
Allah's Messenger, I defend your honour against him. If he belong to the
tribe of Aus we would strike his neck and if he belongs to the tribe of
our brother Khazraj and you order us we would comply with your order.
Then Sa'd b. 'Ubada stood up. He was chief of the Khazraj tribe. He was
otherwise a pioas man but he had some what tribal partisanship in him
and he said to Sa'd b. Mu'adh: By the everlasting existence of Allah.
you are not stating the fact, you will not be able to kill
him and you will not have the power to do so. Thereupon, Usaid b.
Hudair stood up, and he was the first cousin of Sa'd b. Mu'adh and said
to Sa'd b. 'Ubada: By the everlasting existence of Allah, you are not
stating the fact. We would kill him.
You are a hypocrite and so you argue in defence of the hypocrites, and
thus both the tribes Aus and Khazraj were flared up, until they were
about to fall upon one another and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) kept standing upon the pulpit and Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) tried to subside their anger until they became silent and thus
there was silence. 'A'isha further reported: I spent the whole day in
weeping and even the night and could not have a wink of sleep even next
night. My parents thought that this constant weeping of mine would break
my heart. I wept and they sat beside me. In the meanwhile a woman of
the Ansar came to see me. I permitted her to see me and she also began
to weep. And we were in this very state that Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) came and he greeted me and then sat down. He had
never sat with me since a month when this rumour was afloat, and there
was no revelation (to clarity) my case. Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) recited Tashahhud (there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is
His Apostle) and then said: Coming to the point, 'A'isha, this is what
has reached me about you and if you are innocent, Allah would Himself
vindicate your honour, and if accidentally there has been a lapse on
your part sock forgiveness of Allah; He will pardon thee for when a
servant makes a confession of his fault and turns (to Him) penitently,
Allah also turns to him (mercifully) accepting his repentance. When
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) talked, my tears dried up and
not even a single drop of tear was perceived by me (rolling out of my
eyes). I said to my father: You give a reply to Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) on my behalf. He said: By Allah, I do not know what I
should say to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). I then said to
my mother: Give a reply to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) on
my behalf, but she said: By Allah, I do not know what I should say to
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). I was a small girl at that
time and I had not read much of the Qur'an (but I said): By Allah, I
perceive that you have heard about this and it has settled down in your
mind and you have taken it to be true, so if I say to you that I am
quite innocent, and Allah knows that I am innocent, you would never
believe me to be true, and if I confess to (the alleged) lapse before
you, whereas Allah knows that I am completely innocent (and I have not
committed this sin at all), in that case You will take me to be true
and, by Allah, I, therefore, find no other alternative for me and for
you except that what the father of Yousuf said:, (My course is) comely
patience. And Allah it is Whose help is to be sought for in that
(predicament) which ye describe" (xii 18). After this I turned my face
to the other side and lay down on my bed. By Allah, I was fully aware of
this fact that I was innocent but I did not expect that Allah would
descend Wahy Matlu (Qur'anic Wahy) in my case as I did not think myself
so much important that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, would speak in
this matter in words to be recited. I only hoped that Allah would in
vision give an indication of my innocence to Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) during his sleep. And, by Allah, Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) had not moved an inch from where he had been
sitting and none from the members of my family had gone that Allah, the
Exalted and Glorious, descended revelation upon Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) there and then and he felt the burden which he used
to feel at the time of receiving revelation. He began to perspire
because of the burden of words of Allah as they descended upon him even
during the winter season and there fell the drops of his sweat like
silvery beads. When this state of receiving revelation was over, the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) smiled and the first words
which he spoke to me were that he said: 'A'isha, there is glad tidings
for you. Verily, Allah has vindicated your honour, and my mother who had
been standing by me said: Get up (and thank him, i. e. the Holy
Prophet). I said: By Allah, I shall not thank him and laud him but Allah
Who has descended revelation vindicating my honour. She ('A'isha) said:
Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed:" 'Verily, those who spread
the slander are a gang among you" (and) ten (subsequent) verses in
regard to my innocence. She further said: Abu Bakr used to give to
Mistah (some stipend) as a token of kinship with him and for his poverty
and he (Abu Bakr) said: By Allah, now I would not spend anything for
him. 'A'isha said: It was upon this that Allah the Exalted and Glorious
revealed this verse:" And let not those who possess dignity and ease
among you swear to give to the near of the kin" up to" Yearn ye not that
Allah may forgive you?" Hibban b. Musa' said that 'Abdullah b. Mubarak
used to say: It is a verse contained in the Book which most (eminently)
brightens the hope. Abu Bakr said: By Allah, I wish that Allah should
pardon me. I shall never stop this stipend. So he continued to give him
the stipend which he had withdrawn. 'A'isha said that Allah's Messenger
(way peace be upon him) asked Zainab, daughter of Jahsh, the wife of
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him), about me what she knew or what
she had seen in me, and she said: Allah's Messenger, I shall not say
anything without hearing (with my ears) and seeing with my eyes. By
Allah, I find nothing in her but goodness. (And she stated this in spite
of the fact) that she was the only lady who amongst the wives of
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) used to vie with me but Allah
saved her in bringing false allegation against me because of her
God-consciousness. Her sister Hamna bint Jahsh, however, opposed her and
she was undone along with others.
(Book #037, Hadith #6673) |
| (222) Zaid
b. Thabit reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) set out
for Uhud. Some of those persons who were with them came back. The
Companions of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) were divided in
two groups. One group said: We would kill
them, and the other one said: No, this should not be done, and it was
on this occasion that this verse was revealed:" Why should you, then, be
two parties in relation to hypocrites?" (iv. 88).
(Book #038, Hadith #6684) |
| (223) Qais
reported: I said to 'Ammar: What is your opinion about that which you
have done in case (of your siding with Hadrat 'Ali)? Is it your personal
opinion or something you got from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him)? 'Ammar said: We have got nothing from Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) which people at large did not get, but Hudhaifa told me
that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) had especially told him
amongst his Companion, that there would be twelve hypocrites out of whom
eight would not get into Paradise, until a camel would be able to pass
through the needle hole. The ulcer would be itself sufficient (to kill) eight. So far as four are concerned, I do not remember what Shu'ba said about them.
(Book #038, Hadith #6688) |
| (224) 'Iyad
b. Him-ar reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him),
while delivering a sermon one day, said: Behold, my Lord commanded me
that I should teach you which you do not know and which He has taught me
today. (He has instructed thus): The property which I have conferred
upon them is lawful for them. I have created My servants as one having a
natural inclination to the worship of Allah but it is Satan who turns
them away from the right religion and he makes unlawful what has been
declared lawful for them and he commands them to ascribe partnership
with Re, although he has no justification for that. And verily, Allah
looked towards the people of the world and He showed hatred for the
Arabs and the non-Arabs, but with the exception of some remnants from
the People of the Book. And He (further) said: I have sent thee (the
Holy Prophet) in order to put you to test and put (those to test)
through you. And I sent the Book to you which cannot be washed away by
water, so that you may recite it while in the state of wakefulness or
sleep. Verily, Allah commanded me to burn (kill)
the Quraish. I said: My Lord, they would break my head (like the
tearing) of bread, and Allah said: You turn them out as they turned you
out, you fight against them and We shall help you in this, you should
spend and you would be conferred upon. You send an army and I would send
an army five times greater than that. Fight against those who disobey
you along with those who obey you. The inmates of Paradise are three:
One who wields authority and is just and fair, one who Is truthful and
has been endowed with power to do good deeds. And the person who is
merciful and kind hearted towards his relatives and to every pious
Muslim, and one who does not stretch his hand in spite of having a large
family to support. And He said: The inmates of Hell are five: the weak
who lack power to (avoid evil), the (carefree) who pursue (everything
irrespective of the fact that it is good or evil) and who do not have
any care for their family or for their wealth. And those dishonest whose
greed cannot be concealed even in the case of minor things. And the
third. who betray you. morning and evening, in regard to your family and
your property. He also made a mention of the miser and the liar and
those who are in the habit of abusing people and using obscene and foul
language. Abu Ghassan in his narration did not make mention of" Spend
and there would be spent for you."
(Book #040, Hadith #6853) |
| (225) Harith
b Abi Rabi'a and 'Abdullah b. Safwan both went to Umm Salama, the
Mother of the Faithful, and they asked her about the army which would be
sunk in the earth, and this relates to the time when Ibn Zubair (was
the governor of Mecca). She reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) had said that a seeker of refuge would seek refuge in the
Sacred House and an army would be sent to him (in order to kill
him) and when it would enter a plain ground, it would be made to sink. I
said: Allah's Messenger, what about him who would be made to accompany
this army willy nilly? Thereupon he said: He would be made to sink along
with them buf he would be raised on the Day of Resurrection on the
basis of his intention. Abu Ja'far said. ' This plain, ground means the
plain ground of Medina.
(Book #041, Hadith #6886) |
| (226) Abdullah
b. Safwan reported the Mother of the Faithful as saying that Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: They would soon seek protection
in this House, viz. Ka'ba (the defenceless), people who would have
nothing to protect themselves in the shape of weapons or the strength of
the people. An army would be sent to fight (and kill)
them and when they would enter a plain ground the army would be sunk in
it. Yiisuf (one of the narrators) said: It was a people of Syria
(hordes of Hajjaj) who had been on that day comin. towards Mecca for an
attack (on 'Abdulllah b. Zubair) and Abdullah b. Safwan said: By God, it
does not imply this army.
(Book #041, Hadith #6889) |
| (227) 'A'isha
reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was startled in
the state of sleep. We said: Allah's Messenger, you have done something
in the state of your sleep which you never did before, Thereupon he
said: Strange it is that some, people of my Ummah would attack the House
(Ka'ba) (for killing) a person who
would belong to the tribe of the Quraish and he would try to seek
protection in the House. And when they would reach the plain ground they
would be sunk. We said: Allah's Messenger, all sorts of people throng
the path. Thereupon he said: Yes, there would be amongst them people who
would come with definite designs and those who would come under duress
and there would be travellers also, but they would all be destroyed
through one (stroke) of destruction. though they would be raised in
different states (on the Day of Resurrection). Allah would, however,
raise them according to their intention.
(Book #041, Hadith #6890) |
| (228) Abu
Bakra reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
There would soon be turmoil. Behold! there would be turmoil in which the
one who would be seated would be better than one who would stand and
the one who would stand would be better than one who would run. Behold!
when the turmoil comes or it appears, the one who has camel should stick
to his camel and he who has sheep or goat should stick to his sheep and
goat and he who has land should stick to the land. A person said:
'Allah's Messenger, what is your opinion about one who has neither camel
nor sheep nor land? Thereupon, he said: He should take hold of his
sword and beat its edge with the help of stone and then try to find a
way of escape. O Allah, I have conveyed (Thy Message) ; O Allah, I have
conveyed (Thy Message) ; O Allah, I have conveyed (Thy Message). A
person said: Allah's Messenger, what is your opinion it I am drawn to a
rank in spite of myself, or in one of the groups and made to march and a
man strikes with his sword or there comes an arrow and kills
me? Thereupon he said: He will bear the punishment of his sin and that
of yours and he would be one amongst the denizens of Hell.
(Book #041, Hadith #6896) |
| (229) Ahnaf
b. Qais reported: I set out with the intention of helping this person
(Hadrat 'Ali) that Abu Bakra met me. He said: Ahnaf, where do you intend
to go? I said: I intend to help the cousin of Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him), viz. 'Ali. Thereupon he said to me: Ahnaf, go back,
for I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: When
two Muslims confront one another with swords (in hands) both the slayer
and the slain would be in Fire. He (Ahnaf) said: I said, or it was said:
Allah's Messenger, it may be the case of one who kills. but what about the slain (why he would be put in Hell-Fire)? Thereupon he said: He also intended to kill his companion.
(Book #041, Hadith #6898) |
| (230) Abu
Bakra reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
When two Muslims (confront each other) and the one amongst them attacks
his brother with a weapon, both of them are at the brink of Hell-Fire.
And when one of them kills his companion, both of them get into Hell-Fire.
(Book #041, Hadith #6901) |
| (231) Thauban
reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Allah
drew the ends of the world near one another for my sake. And I have seen
its eastern and western ends. And the dominion of my Unimah would reach
those ends which have been drawn near me and I have been granted the
red and the white trea- sure and I begged my Lord for my Ummah that it
should not be destroyed because of famine, nor be dominated by an enemy
who is not amongst them to take their lives and destroy them root and
branch, and my Lord said: Muhammad, whenever I make a decision, there is
none to change it. Well, I grant you for your Ummah that it would not
be destroyed by famine and it would not be dominated by an enemy who
would not be amongst it and would take their lives and destroy them root
and branch even if all the people from the different parts of the world
join hands together (for this purpose), but it would be from amongst
them, viz. your Ummah, that some people would kill the others or imprison the others.

b. Harith b. Naufal reported: I was standing along with Ubayy b. Ka, b
and he said: The opinions of the people differ in regard to the
achievement of worldly ends. I said: Yes, of course. Thereupon he said: I
heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The
Euphrates would soon uncover a mountain of gold and when the people
would bear of it they would flock towards it but the people who would
possess that (treasure) (would say): If we allow these persons to take
out of it they would take away the whole of it. So they would fight and
ninety-nine out of one hundred would be killed. Abu Kamil in his narration said: I and Abu Ka'b stood under the shade of the battlement of Hassan.

Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
The Last Hour would not come until the Romans would land at al-A'maq or
in Dabiq. An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the people of the
earth at that time will come from Medina (to counteract them). When
they will arrange themselves in ranks, the Romans would say: Do not
stand between us and those (Muslims) who took prisoners from amongst us.
Let us fight with them; and the Muslims would say: Nay, by Allah, we
would never get aside from you and from our brethren that you may fight
them. They will then fight and a third (part) of the army would run
away, whom Allah will never forgive. A third (part of the army). which
would be constituted of excellent martyrs in Allah's eye, would be killed
ani the third who would never be put to trial would win and they would
be conquerors of Constantinople. And as they would be busy in
distributing the spoils of war (amongst themselves) after hanging their
swords by the olive trees, the Satan would cry: The Dajjal has taken
your place among your family. They would then come out, but it would be
of no avail. And when they would come to Syria, he would come out while
they would be still preparing themselves for battle drawing up the
ranks. Certainly, the time of prayer shall come and then Jesus (peace be
upon him) son of Mary would descend and would lead them in prayer. When
the enemy of Allah would see him, it would (disappear) just as the salt
dissolves itself in water and if he (Jesus) were not to confront them
at all, even then it would dissolve completely, but Allah would kill them by his hand and he would show them their blood on his lance (the lance of Jesus Christ).

Fudail reported on the authority of his father that he heard Salim b.
'Abdullah b. 'Umar as saying: O people of Iraq, how strange it is that
you ask about the minor sins but commit major sins? I heard from my
father 'Abdullah b. 'Umar, narrating that he heard Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) as saying while pointing his hand towards the
east: Verily. the turmoil would come from this side, from where appear
the horns of Satan and you would strike the necks of one another; and
Moses killed a person from among the people of Pharaoh unintentionally and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said:" You killed
a person but We relieved you from the grief and tried you with (many a)
trial" (xx. 40). Ahmad b. Umar reported this hadith from Salim, but he
did not make a mention of the words:" I heard".

Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
By Him in Whose Hand is my life, a time would come when the murderer
would not know why he has committed the murder, and the victim would not
know why he has been killed.

Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
The world would not come to an end until a day would come to the people
on which the murderer would not know as to why he has killed
and the slain would not know as to why he has been murdered. It would
be said: Why would It happen? To which he replied: It would be because
of general massacre and bloodshed. And the slaughterers and the slain
would be in Fire, and in the narration of Ibn Aban, the name of Abu
Isma'il has been mentioned.

Sa'id Khudri reported: One who Is better than I informed me, that
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to 'Ammar as he was
digging the ditch (on the ocasion of the Battle of the Ditch) wiping
over his head: O son of Summayya you will be involved in trouble and a
group of the rebels would kill you.

aside from them (and not besmear their hand with the blood of the
Muslim).

| (245) 'Abdullah
reported: We were along with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
that we happened to pass by children amongst whom there was Ibn Sayyad.
The children made their way but Ibn Sayyad kept sitting there (and it
seemed) as if Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) did not like it
(his sitting with the children) and said to him: May your nose he
besmeared with dust, don't you bear testimony to the fact that I am the
Messenger of Allah? Thereupon he said: No, but you should bear testimony
that I am the messenger of Allah. Thereupon 'Umar b. Khattab said:
Allah's Messenger, permit me that I should kill
him. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: If he is
that person who is in your mind (Dajjal ), you will not be able to kill him.
(Book #041, Hadith #6990) |
| (246) 'Abdullah
reported: We were walking with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) that Ibn Sayyad happened to pass by him. Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) said to him: I have concealed for you (something to
test you, so tell me that). He said: It is Dukh. Thereupon Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to him: Be off. You cannot get
farther than your rank, whereupon 'Umar said: Allah's Messenger, permit
me to strike his neck. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) said: Leave him; if he is that one (Dajjal) whom you apprehend, you
will not be able to kill him.
(Book #041, Hadith #6991) |
| (247) 'Abdullah
b. Umar reported: 'Umar b. Khattab went along with Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) in the company of some persons toIbn Sayyad that
he found him playing with children near the bettlement of Bani Maghala
and Ibn Sayyad was at that time just at the threshold of adolescence and
he did not perceive (the presence of Holy Prophet) until Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) struck his back with his hands.
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Ibn Sayyad, don't you
bear witness that I am the messenger of Allah? Ibn Sayyad looked toward
him and he said: I bear witness to the fact that you the messenger of
the unlettered. Ibn Sayyad said to the Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him): Do you bear witness to the fact that I am the messenger of
Allah? Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) rejected this and said:
I affirm my faith in Allah and in His messengers. Then Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to him: What do you see? Ibn
Sayyad said: It us a Dukh. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) said: May you be disgraced and dishonoured, you would not not
be able to go beyond your rank. 'Umar b. Khattab said: Allah's
Messenger, permit me that I should strike his neck. Therupon Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: If he is the same (Dajjal) who
would appear near the Last Hour, you would not be able to overpower him,
and he is not that ther is no good for you to kill
him. 'Abdullah b. 'Umar further narrated that after some time Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) and Ubayy b. Ka'b went towards the
palm trees where Ibn Sayyad was. When Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) went near the tree he hid himself behind a tree with the
intention of hearing something from Ibn sayyad before Ibn Sayyad could
see him, but Allah's Messenger (may pcxce be upon him) saw him on a bed
with a blanket around him from which a murmuring sound was being heard
and Ibn Sayyad's mother saw Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
behind the trunk of the palm tree. She said to Ibn Sayyad: Saf (that
being his name), here is Muhammad. Thereupon Ibn Sayyad jumped up
murmuring and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: If she had
left him alone he would have made things clear. Abdullah b. Umar told
that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) stood up amongst the
people and lauded Allah as He deserved, then he made a mention of the
Dajjal and said: I warn you of him and there is no Prophet who has not
warned his people against the Dajjal. Even Noah warned (against him) but
I am going to tell you a thing which no Prophet told his people. You
must know that he (the Dajjal) is one-eyed and Allah, the Exalted and
Glorious, is not one-eyed. Ibn Shihab said: 'Umar b. Thabit al-Ansari
informed me that some of the Companions of Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) informed him that the day when Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) warned people against the Dajjal, he also said: There
would be written between his two eyes (the word) Kafir (infidel) and
everyone who would resent his deeds would be able to read or every
Muslim would be about to read, and he also said: Bear this thing in mind
that none amongst you would be able to see Allah, the Exalted and
Glorious, until he dies.
(Book #041, Hadith #7000) |
| (248) An-Nawwas
b. Sam'an reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) made a
mention of the Dajjal one day in the morning. He sometimes described
him to be insignificant and sometimes described (his turmoil) as very
significant rand we felt) as if he were in the cluster of the date-palm
trees. When we went to him (to the Holy Prophet) in the evening and he
read (the signs of fear) in our faces, he said: What is the matter with
you? We said: Allah's Messenger, you made a mention of the Dajjal in the
morning (sometimes describing him) to be insignificant and sometimes
very important, until we began to think as if he were present in some
(near) part of the cluster of the datpalm trees. Thereupon he said: I
harbour fear in regard to you in so many other things besides the
Dajjal. If he comes forth while I am among on, I shall contend with him
on your behalf, but if he comes forth while I am not amongst you, a man
must contend on his own behalf and Allah would take care of every Muslim
on my behalf (and safeguard him against his evil). He (Dajjal) would be
a young man with twisted, contracted hair, and a blind eye. I compare
him to 'Abd-ul-'Uzza b. Qatan. He who amongst you would survive to see
him should recite over him the opening verses of Sura Kahf (xviii.). He
would appear on the way between Syria and Iraq and would spread mischief
right and left. O servant of Allah! adhere (to the path of Truth). We
said: Allah's Messenger, how long would he stay on the earth? He said..
For forty days, one day like a year and one day like a month and one day
like a week and the rest of the days would be like your days. We said:
Allah's Messenger, would one day's prayer suffice for the prayers of day
equal to one year? Thereupon he said: No, but you must make an estimate
of time (and then observe prayer). We said: Allah's Messenger, how
quickly would he walk upon the earth? Thereupon he said: Like cloud
driven by the wind. He would come to the people and invite them (to a
wrong religion) and they would affirm their faith in him and respond to
him. He would then give command to the sky and there would be rainfall
upon the earth and it would grow crops. Then in the evening, their
posturing animals would come to them with their humps very high and
their udders full of milk and their flanks stretched. He would then come
to another people and invite them. But they would reject him and he
would go away from them and there would be drought for them and nothing
would be lef t with them in the form of wealth. He would then walk
through the waste, land and say to it: Bring forth your treasures, and
the treasures would come out and collect (themselves) before him like
the swarm of bees. He would then call a person brimming with youth and
strike him with the sword and cut him into two pieces and (make these
pieces lie at a distance which is generally) between the archer and his
target. He would then call (that young man) and he will come forward
laughing with his face gleaming (with happiness) and it would at this
very time that Allah would send Christ, son of Mary, and he will descend
at the white minaret in the eastern side of Damscus wearing two
garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of
two Angels. When he would lower his head, there would fall beads of
perspiration from his head, and when he would raise it up, beads like
pearls would scatter from it. Every non-believer who would smell the
odour of his self would die and his breath would reach as far as he
would be able to see. He would then search for him (Dajjal) until he
would catch hold of him at the gate of Ludd and would kill
him. Then a people whom Allah had protected would come to Jesus, son of
Mary, and he would wipe their faces and would inform them of their
ranks in Paradise and it would be under such conditions that Allah would
reveal to Jesus these words: I have brought forth from amongst My
servants such people against whom none would be able to fight; you take
these people safely to Tur, and then Allah would send Gog and Magog and
they would swarm down from every slope. The first of them would pass the
lake of Tibering and drink out of it. And when the last of them would
pass, he would say: There was once water there. Jesus and his companions
would then be besieged here (at Tur, and they would be so much hard
pressed) that the head of the ox would be dearer to them than one
hundred dinirs and Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would
supplicate Allah, Who would send to them insects (which would attack
their necks) and in the morning they would perish like one single
person. Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would then come down
to the earth and they would not find in the earth as much space as a
single span which is not filled with their putrefaction and stench.
Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would then again beseech
Allah, Who would send birds whose necks would be like those of bactrin
camels and they would carry them and throw them where God would will.
Then Allah would send rain which no house of clay or (the tent of)
camels' hairs would keep out and it would wash away the earth until it
could appear to be a mirror. Then the earth would be told to bring forth
its fruit and restore its blessing and, as a result thereof, there
would grow (such a big) pomegranate that a group of persons would be
able to eat that, and seek shelter under its skin and milch cow would
give so much milk that a whole party would be able to drink it. And the
milch camel would give such (a large quantity of) milk that the whole
tribe would be able to drink out of that and the milch sheep would give
so much milk that the whole family would be able to drink out of that
and at that time Allah would send a pleasant wind which would soothe
(people) even under their armpits, and would take the life of every
Muslim and only the wicked would survive who would commit adultery like
asses and the Last Hour would come to them.

hadith has been narrated on the authority of Jabir with the same chain
of transmitters but with this addition that Gog and Magog would walk
until they would reach the mountain of al-Khamar and it is a mountain of
Bait-ul-Maqdis and they would say: We have killed those who are upon the earth. Let us now kill
those who are In the sky and they would throw their arrows towards the
sky and the arrows would return to them besmeared with blood. And in the
narration of Ibn Hujr (the words are):" I have sent such persons (Gog
and Magog) that none would dare fight against them.

| (250) Abu
Sa'id al-Khudri reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
one day gave a detailed account of the Dajjal and in that it was also
included: He would come but would not be allowed to ether the mountain
passes to Medina. So he will alight at some of the barren tracts near
Medina, and a person who would be the best of men or one from amongst
the best of men would say to him: I bear testimony to the fact that you
are Dajjal about whom Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had
informed us. The Dajjal would say: What is your opinion if I kill
this (person), then I bring him back to life; even then will you
harbour doubt in this matter? They would say: No. He would then kill
(the man) and then bring him back to life. When he would bring tha@
person to life, he would say: By Allah, I had no better proof of the
fact (that you are a Dajjal) than at the present time (that you are
actually so). The Dajjal would then make an attempt to kill
him (again) but he would not be able to do that. Abu Ishaq reported
that it was said: That person would be Khadir (Allah be pleased with
him).
(Book #041, Hadith #7017) |
| (251) Abu
Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as
saying: The Dajjal would come forth and a person from amongst the
believers would go towards him and the armed men of the Dajjal would
meet him and they would say to him: Where do you intend to go? He would
say: I intend to go to this one who is coming forth. They would say to
him: Don't you believe in our Lord? He would say: There is nothing
hidden about our Lord. They would say: kill him. Then some amongst them would say: Has your master (Dajjal) not forbidden you to kill
anyone without (his consent)? And so they would take him to the Dajjal
and when the believer would see him, he would say: O people. he is the
Dajjil about whom Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) has informed
(us). The Dajjal would then order for breaking his head and utter
(these words): Catch hold of him and break his head. He would be struck
even on his back and on his stomach. Then the Dajjal would ask him:
Don't you believe in me? He would say: You are a false Masih. He would
then order him to be torn (into pieces) with a saw from the parting of
his hair up to his legs. After that the Dajjal would walk between the
two pieces. He would then say to him: Stand, and he would stand erect.
He would then say to him: Don't you believe in me? And the person would
say: It has only added to my insight concerning you (that you are really
the Dajjal). He would then say: O people, he would not behave with
anyone amongst people (in such a manner) after me. The Dajjal would try
to catch hold of him so that he should kill him (again). The space between his neck and collar bone would be turned into copper and he would find no means to kill
him. So he would catch hold of him by his hand and feet and throw him
(into the air) and the people would think as if he had been thrown in
the Hell-Fire whereas he would be thrown in Paradise. Thereupon Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: He would be the most eminent
amongst persons in regard to martyrdom in the eye of the Lord of the
world.
(Book #041, Hadith #7019) |
| (252) 'Abdullah
b. 'Amr reported that a person came to him and said: What is this
hadith that you narrate that the Last Hour would come at such and such
time? Thereupon he said: Hallowed be Allah, there is no god but Allah
(or the words to the same effect). I have decided that I would not
narrate anything to anyone now. I had only said that you would see after
some time an important event that the (sacred) House (Ka'ba) would be
burnt and it would happen and definitely happen. He then reported that
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The Dajjal would appear
in my Ummah and he would stay (in the world) for forty-I cannot say
whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years. And Allah
would then send Jesus son of Mary who would resemble 'Urwa b Mas'ud. He
(Jesus Christ) would chase him and kill
him. Then people would live for seven years that there would be no ran.
cour between two persons. Then Allah would send cold wind from the side
of Syria that none would survive upon the earth having a speck of good
in him or faith in him but he would die, so much so that even if some
amongst you were to enter the innermost part of the mountain, this wind
would reach that place also and that would cause his heath. I heard
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Only the wicked
people would survive and they would be as careless as birds with the
charactertistics of beasts. They would never appreciate the good nor
condemn evil. Then the Satan would come to them in human form and would
say: Don't you respond? And they would say: What do you order us? And he
would command them to worship the idols but, in spite of this, they
would have abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives. Then the
trumpet would be blown and no one would hear that but he would bend hfs
neck to one side and raise it from the other side and the first one to
hear that trumpet would be the person who would be busy in setting right
the tank meant for providing water to the camels. He would swoon and
the other people would also swoon, then Allah would send or He would
cause to send rain which would be like dew and there would grow out of
it the bodies of the people. Then the second trumpet would be blown and
they would stand up and begin to look (around). Then it would be said: O
people, go to your Lord, and make them stand there. And they would be
questioned. Then it would be said: Bring out a group (out of them) for
the Hell-Fire. And then it would be asked: How much? It would be said:
Nine hundred and ninty-nine out of one thousand for the Hell-Fire and
that would be the day which would make the children old because of its
terror and that would be the day about which it has been said:" On the
day when the shank would be uncovered" (lxviii. 42).

(Book #042, Hadith #7141) |
| (254) Suhaib
reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) thus said:
There lived a king before you and he had a (court) magician. As he (the
magician) grew old, he said to the king: I have grown old, send some
young boy to me so that I should teach him magic. He (the king) sent to
him a young man so that he should train him (in magic). And on his way
(to the magician) he (the young man) found a monk sitting there. He (the
young man) listened to his (the monk's) talk and was impressed by it.
It became his habit that on his way to the magician he met the monk and
set there and he came to the magician (late). He (the magician) beat him
because of delay. He made a complaint of that to the monk and he said
to him: When you feel afraid of the magician, say: Members of my family
had detained me. And when you feel afraid of your family you should say:
The magician had detained me. It so happened that there came a huge
beast (of prey) and it blocked the way of the people, and he (the young
boy) said: I will come to know today whether the magician is superior or
the monk is superior. He picked up a stone and said: O Allah, if the
affair of the monk is dearer to Thee than the affair of the magician,
cause death to this animal so that the people should be able to move
about freely. He threw that stone towards it and killed
it and the people began to move about (on the path freely). He (the
young man) then came to that monk and Informed him and the monk said:
Sonny, today you are superior to me. Your affair has come to a stage
where I find that you would be soon put to a trial, and in case you are
put to a trial don't give my clue. That young man began to treat the
blind and those suffering from leprosy and he in fact began to cure
people from (all kinds) of illness. When a companion of the king who had
gone blind heard about him, he came to him with numerous gifts and
said: If you cure me all these things collected together here would be
yours. Be said: I myself do not cure anyone. It is Allah Who cures and
if you affirm faith in Allah, I shall also supplicate Allah to cure you.
He affirmed his faith in Allah and Allah cured him and he came to the
king and sat by his side as he used to sit before. The king said to him:
Who restored your eyesight? He said: My Lord. Thereupon he said: It
means that your Lord is One besides me. He said: My Lord and your Lord
is Allah, so he (the king) took hold of him and tormented him till he
gave a clue of that boy. The young man was thus summoned and the king
said to him: O boy, it has been conveyed to me that you have become so
much proficient in your magic that you cure the blind and those
suffering from leprosy and you do such and such things. Thereupon he
said: I do not cure anyone; it is Allah Who cures, and he (the king)
took hold of him and began to torment him. So he gave a clue of the
monk. The monk was thus summoned and it was said to him: You should turn
back from your religion. He, however, refused to do so. He (ordered)
for a saw to be brought (and when it was done) he (the king) placed it
in the middle of his head and tore it into parts till a part fell down.
Then the courtier of the king was brought and it was said to him: Turn
back from your religion. Arid he refused to do so, and the saw was
placed in the midst of his head and it was torn till a part fell down.
Then that young boy was brought and it was said to him: Turn back from
your religion. He refused to do so and he was handed over to a group of
his courtiers. And he 'said to them: Take him to such and such mountain;
make him climb up that mountain and when you reach its top (ask him to
renounce his faith) but if he refuses to do so, then throw him (down the
mountain). So they took him and made him climb up the mountain and he
said: O Allah, save me from them (in any way) Thou likest and the
mountain began to quake and they all fell down and that person came
walking to the king. The king said to him: What has happened to your
companions? He said: Allah has saved me from them. He again handed him
to some of his courtiers and said: Take him and carry him in a small
boat and when you reach the middle of the ocean (ask him to renounce)
his religion, but if he does not renounce his religion throw him (into
the water). So they took him and he said: O Allah, save me from them and
what they want to do. It was quite soon that the boat turned over and
they were drowned and he came walking to the king, and the king said to
him: What has happened to your companions? He said: Allah has saved me
from them, and he said to the king: You cannot kill
me until you do what I ask you to do. And he said: What is that? He
said: You should gather people in a plain and hang me by the trunk (of a
tree). Then take hold of an arrow from the quiver and say: In the name
of Allah, the Lord of the worlds; then shoot an arrow and if you do that
then you would be able to kill me.
So he (the king) called the people in an open plain and tied him (the
boy) to the trunk of a tree, then he took hold of an arrow from his
quiver and then placed the arrow in the bow and then said: In the name
of Allah, the Lord of the young boy; he then shot an arrow and it bit
his temple. He (the boy) placed his hands upon the temple where the
arrow had bit him and he died and the people said: We affirm our faith
in the Lord of this young man, we affirm our faith in the Lord of this
young man, we affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man. The
courtiers came to the king and it was said to him: Do you see that Allah
has actually done what you aimed at averting. They (the people) have
affirmed their faith in the Lord. He (the king) commanded ditches to be
dug at important points in the path. When these ditches were dug, and
the fire was lit in them it was said (to the people): He who would not
turn back from his (boy's) religion would be thrown in the fire or it
would be said to them to jump in that. (The people courted death but did
not renounce religion) till a woman came with her child and she felt
hesitant in jumping into the fire and the child said to her: 0 mother,
endure (this ordeal) for it is the Truth.

'Abbas said: This verse was revealed in Mecca:" And they who call not
upon another god with Allah and slay not the soul which Allah has
forbidden except in the cause of justice" up to the word Muhdana
(abased). Thereupon the polytheists said: Islam is of no avail to us for
we have made peer with Allah and we killed
the soul which Allah had forbidden to do and we committed debauchery,
and it was (on this occasion) that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious,
revealed this verse:" Except him who repents and believes and does good
deeds" up to the end Ibn 'Abbis says: He who enters the fold of Islam
and understands its command and then kills the soul there is no repentance for him.
(Book #043, Hadith #7172) |
| (256) Sa'id b. Jubair reported: I said to Ibn Abbas: Will the repentance of that person be accepted who kills
a believer intentionally? He said: No. I recited to him this verse of
Sura al-Furqan (xix.):" And those who call not upon another god with
Allah and slay not the soul which Allah has forbidden except in the
cause of justice" to the end of the verse. He said: This is a Meccan
verse which has been abrogated by a verse revealed at Medina:" He who
slays a believer intentionally, for him is the requital of Hell-Fire
where he would abide for ever," and in the narration of Ibn Hisham (the
words are): I recited to him this verse of Sura al-Furqan:" Except one
who made repentance."

Abbas reported that some Muslims met a person with a small flock of
sheep. He said: As-Salam-o-'Alaikum. They caught hold of him and killed
him and took possession of his flock. Then this verse was revealed:" He
who meets you and extends you salutations, don't say: You are not a
Muslim" (iv. 94). Ibn 'Abbas, however, recited the word as-Salam instead
of" as-Salam".

(Helpers) responded. He said: Go to the mouth of the mountain-pass. When
they went to the mouth of the mountain-pass the man from the Muhajirun
lay down while the man from the Ansar stood praying. The man (enemy)

three arrows. Then he (the Muslim) bowed and prostrated and awoke his
companion. When he (the enemy) perceived that they (the Muslims) had
become aware of his presence, he ran away. When the man from the
Muhajirun saw the (man from the Ansar) bleeding, he asked him: Glory be

unbeliever whatever sin he commits, and not to excommunicate him from
Islam for his any action; and jihad will be performed continuously since
the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day the last member of my
community will fight with the Dajjal (Antichrist). The tyranny of any
tyrant and the justice of any just (ruler) will not invalidate it. One
must have faith in Divine decree.

Mu'adh ibn Jabal: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: If
anyone fights in Allah's path as long as the time between two milkings
of a she-camel, Paradise will be assured for him. If anyone sincerely
asks Allah for being killed and then dies or is killed,
there will be a reward of a martyr for him. Ibn al-Musaffa added from
here: If anyone is wounded in Allah's path, or suffers a misfortune, it
will come on the Day of resurrection as copious as possible, its colour

Allah's path, he will have on him the stamp of the martyrs.

al-Harith said that his father, Rabi'ah ibn al-Harith, and Abbas ibn
al-Muttalib said to AbdulMuttalib ibn Rabi'ah and al-Fadl ibn Abbas: Go
to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and tell him: Apostle of
Allah, we are now of age as you see, and we wish to marry. Apostle of
Allah, you are the kindest of the people and the most skilled
in matchmaking. Our fathers have nothing with which to pay our dower.
So appoint us collector of sadaqah (zakat), Apostle of Allah, and we
shall give you what the other collectors give you, and we shall have the
benefit accruing from it. Ali came to us while we were in this
condition. He said: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: No, I
swear by Allah, he will not appoint any of you collector of sadaqah
(zakat). Rabi'ah said to him: This is your condition; you have gained
your relationship with the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) by
marriage, but we did not grudge you that. Ali then put his cloak on the
earth and lay on it. He then said: I am the father of Hasan, the chief. I
swear by Allah, I shall not leave this place until your sons come with a
reply (to the question) for which you have sent them to the Prophet
(peace_be_upon_him). AbdulMuttalib said: So I and al-Fadl went towards
the door of the apartment of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him). We found
that the noon prayer in congregation had already started. So we prayed
along with the people. I and al-Fadl then hastened towards the door of
the apartment of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him). He was (staying) with
Zaynab, daughter of Jahsh, that day. We stood until the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) came. He caught my ear and the ear of al-Fadl. He
then said: Reveal what you conceal in your hearts. He then entered and
permitted me and al-Fadl (to enter). So we entered and for a little
while we asked each other to talk. I then talked to him, or al-Fadl
talked to him (the narrator, Abdullah was not sure). He said: He spoke
to him concerning the matter about which our fathers ordered us to ask
him. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) remained silent for a
moment and raised his eyes towards the ceiling of the room. He took so
long that we thought he would not give any reply to us. Meanwhile we saw
that Zaynab was signalling to us with her hand from behind the veil,
asking us not to be in a hurry, and that the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) was (thinking) about our matter. The Apostle of
Allah (peace_be_upon_him) then lowered his head and said to us: This
sadaqah (zakat) is a dirt of the people. It is legal neither for
Muhammad nor for the family of Muhammad. Call Nawfal ibn al-Harith to
me. So Nawfal ibn al-Harith was called to him. He said: Nawfal, marry
AbdulMuttalib (to your daughter). So Nawfal married me (to his
daughter). The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) then said: Call Mahmiyyah ibn
Jaz'i to me. He was a man of Banu Zubayd, whom the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) had appointed collector of the fifths. The Apostle
of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said to Mahmiyyah: Marry al-Fadl (to your
daughter). So he married him to her. The Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) said: Stand up and pay the dower from the fifth
so-and-so on their behalf. Abdullah ibn al-Harith did not name it (i.e.
the amount of the dower).

Mujja'ah ibn Mirarah al-Yamani: Mujja'ah went to the Prophet
(peace_be_upon_him) asking him for the blood-money of his brother whom
Banu Sadus from Banu Dhuhl had killed.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Had I appointed blood-money for a
polytheist, I should have appointed it for your brother. But I shall
give you compensation for him. So the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) wrote
(a document) for him that he should be given a hundred camels which were
to be acquired from the fifth taken from the polytheists of Banu Dhuhl.
So he took a part of them, for Banu Dhuhl embraced Islam. He then asked
AbuBakr for them later on, and brought to him the document of the
Prophet (peace_be_upon_him). So AbuBakr wrote for him that he should be
given one thousand two hundred sa's from the sadaqah of al-Yamamah; four
thousand (sa's) of wheat, four thousand (sa's) of barley, and four
thousand (sa's) of dates. The text of the document written by the
Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) for Mujja'ah was as follows: "In the name of
Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. This document is from Muhammad,
the Prophet, to Mujja'ah ibn Mirarah of Banu Sulma. I have given him one
hundred camels from the first fifth acquired from the polytheist of
Banu Dhuhl as a compensation for his brother."

He had close relations with them. He then killed him. At that time Huwayyisah (brother of Muhayyisah) had not embraced Islam. He was older than Muhayyisah. When he killed
him, Huwayyisah beat him and said: O enemy of Allah, I swear by Allah,
you have a good deal of fat in your belly from his property.

A man from the companions of the Prophet: AbdurRahman ibn Ka'b ibn
Malik reported on the authority of a man from among the companions of
the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him): The infidels of the Quraysh wrote (a
letter) to Ibn Ubayy and to those who worshipped idols from al-Aws and
al-Khazraj, while the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) was at that
time at Medina before the battle of Badr. (They wrote): You gave
protection to our companion. We swear by Allah, you should fight him or
expel him, or we shall come to you in full force, until we kill
your fighters and appropriate your women. When this (news) reached
Abdullah ibn Ubayy and those who were worshippers of idols, with him
they gathered together to fight the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him). When this news reached the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him), he visited them and said: The threat of the Quraysh
to you has reached its end. They cannot contrive a plot against you,
greater than what you yourselves intended to harm you. Are you willing
to fight your sons and brethren? When they heard this from the Prophet
(peace_be_upon_him), they scattered. This reached the infidels of the
Quraysh. The infidels of the Quraysh again wrote (a letter) to the Jews
after the battle of Badr: You are men of weapons and fortresses. You
should fight our companion or we shall deal with you in a certain way.
And nothing will come between us and the anklets of your women. When
their letter reached the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him), they gathered Banu
an-Nadir to violate the treaty. They sent a message to the Prophet
(peace_be_upon_him): Come out to us with thirty men from your
companions, and thirty rabbis will come out from us till we meet at a
central place where they will hear you. If they testify to you and
believe in you, we shall believe in you. The narrator then narrated the
whole story. When the next day came, the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) went out in the morning with an army, and surrounded
them. He told them: I swear by Allah, you will have no peace from me
until you conclude a treaty with me. But they refused to conclude a
treaty with him. He therefore fought them the same day. Next he attacked
Banu Quraysh with an army in the morning, and left Banu an-Nadir. He
asked them to sign a treaty and they signed it. He turned away from them
and attacked Banu an-Nadir with an army. He fought with them until they
agreed to expulsion. Banu an-Nadir were deported, and they took with
them whatever their camels could carry, that is, their property, the
doors of their houses, and their wood. Palm-trees were exclusively
reserved for the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him). Allah bestowed
them upon him and gave them him as a special portion. He (Allah), the
Exalted, said: What Allah has bestowed on His Apostle (and taken away)
from them, for this ye made no expedition with either camel corps or
cavalry." He said: "Without fighting." So the Prophet
(peace_be_upon_him) gave most of it to the emigrants and divided it
among them; and he divided some of it between two men from the helpers,
who were needy, and he did not divide it among any of the helpers except
those two. The rest of it survived as the sadaqah of the Apostle of
Allah (peace_be_upon_him) which is in the hands of the descendants of
Fatimah (Allah be pleased with her).

Abdullah Ibn Umar: The Prophet fought with the people of Khaybar, and
captured their palm-trees and land, and forced them to remain confined
to their fortresses. So they concluded a treaty of peace providing that
gold, silver and weapons would go to the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him), and whatever they took away on their camels would
belong to them, on condition that they would not hide and carry away
anything. If they did (so), there would be no protection for them and no
treaty (with Muslims). They carried away a purse of Huyayy ibn Akhtab
who was killed before (the battle
of) Khaybar. He took away the ornaments of Banu an-Nadir when they were
expelled. The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) asked Sa'yah: Where is the
purse of Huyayy ibn Akhtab? He replied: The contents of this purse were
spent on battles and other expenses. (Later on) they found the purse. So
he killed Ibn AbulHuqayq, captured
their women and children, and intended to deport them. They said:
Muhammad, leave us to work on this land; we shall have half (of the
produce) as you wish, and you will have half. The Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) used to make a contribution of eighty wasqs of dates
and twenty wasqs of wheat to each of his wives.

Umar ibn al-Khattab: Amr ibn Aws and AbulSha'tha' reported that Bujalah
said: I was secretary to Jaz' ibn Mu'awiyah, the uncle of Ahnaf ibn
Qays. A letter came to us from Umar one year before his death, saying: kill
every magician, separate the relatives of prohibited degrees from the
Magians, and forbid them to murmur (before eating). So we killed
three magicians in one day, and separated from a Magian husband his
wife of a prohibited degree according to the Book of Allah. He prepared
abundant food and called them, and placed the sword on his thigh. They
ate (the food) but did not murmur. They threw (on the ground) one or two
mule-loads of silver. Umar did not take jizyah from Magians until
AbdurRahman ibn Awf witnessed that the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) had taken jizyah from the Magians of Hajar.

you? He replied: Evil. I said: Silent. He said: Islam or killing.

Jabir ibn Atik: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) came to visit
Abdullah ibn Thabit who was ill. He found that he was dominated (by the
divine decree). The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) called him
loudly, but he did not respond. He uttered the Qur'anic verse "We belong
to Allah and to Him do we return" and he said: We have been dominated
against you, AburRabi'. Then the women cried and wept, and Ibn Atik
began to silence them. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said:
Leave them, when the divine decree is made, no woman should weep. They
(the people) asked: What is necessary happening, Apostle of Allah? He
replied: Death. His daughter said: I hope you will be a martyr, for you
have completed your preparations for jihad. The Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) said: Allah Most High gave him a reward according to
his intentions. What do you consider martyrdom? They said: Being killed
in the cause of Allah. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said:
There are seven types of martyrdom in addition to being killed
in Allah's cause: one who dies of plague is a martyr; one who is
drowned is a martyr; one who dies of pleurisy is a martyr; one who dies
of an internal complaint is a martyr; one who is burnt to death is a
martyr; who one is killed by a building falling on him is a martyr; and a woman who dies while pregnant is a martyr.

would have been resurrected from their bellies. The garments were
scanty and the slain were in great number. So one, two and three persons
were shrouded in one garment. The narrator Qutaybah added: They were
then buried in one grave. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
asked: Which of the two learnt the Qur'an more? He then advanced him
toward the qiblah (direction of prayer).

Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and said: He has died. The Prophet

again raised over him. His wife said: Go to the Apostle of Allah

said: The man then went and saw that he had killed
himself with an arrowhead. So he went to the Prophet

Anas ibn Malik: Nafi' AbuGhalib said: I was in the Sikkat al-Mirbad. A
bier passed and a large number of people were accompanying it. They
said: Bier of Abdullah ibn Umayr. So I followed it. Suddenly I saw a
man, who had a thin garment on riding his small mule. He had a piece of
cloth on his head to protect himself from the sun. I asked: Who is this
important man? People said: This is Anas ibn Malik. When the bier was
placed, Anas stood and led the funeral prayer over him while I was just
behind him, and there was no obstruction between me and him. He stood
near his head, and uttered four takbirs (Allah is Most Great). He
neither lengthened the prayer nor hurried it. He then went to sit down.
They said: AbuHamzah, (here is the bier of) an Ansari woman. They
brought her near him and there was a green cupola-shaped structure over
her bier. He stood opposite her hips and led the funeral prayer over her
as he had led it over the man. He then sat down. Al-Ala' ibn Ziyad
asked: AbuHamzah, did the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say the
funeral prayer over the dead as you have done, uttering four takbirs
(Allah is Most Great) over her, and standing opposite the head of a man
and the hips of a woman? He replied: Yes. He asked: AbuHamzah, did you
fight with the Apostle of Allah? He replied: Yes. I fought with him in
the battle of Hunayn. The polytheists came out and invaded us so
severely that we saw our horses behind our backs. Among the people (i.e.
the unbelievers) there was a man who was attacking us, and striking and
wounding us (with his sword). Allah then defeated them. They were then
brought and began to take the oath of allegiance to him for Islam. A man
from among the companions of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: I
make a vow to myself that if Allah brings the man who was striking us
(with his sword) that day, I shall behead him. The Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) kept silent and the man was brought (as a captive).
When he saw the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him), he said: Apostle
of Allah, I have repented to Allah. The Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) stopped (for a while) receiving his oath of
allegiance, so that the other man might fulfil his vow. But the man
began to wait for the order of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
for his murder. He was afraid of the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) to kill him.
When the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) saw that he did not do
anything, he received his oath of allegiance. The man said: Apostle of
Allah, what about my vow? He said: I stopped (receiving his oath of
allegiance) today so that you might fulfil your vow. He said: Apostle of
Allah, why did you not give any signal to me? The Prophet
(peace_be_upon_him) said: It is not worthy of a Prophet to give a
signal. AbuGhalib said: I asked (the people) about Anas standing
opposite the hips of a woman. They told me that this practice was due to
the fact that (in the days of the Prophet) there were no cupola-shaped
structures over the biers of women. So the imam used to stand opposite
the hips of a woman to hide her from the people.

Cut off his hand. (So his (left) hand was cut off.) He was brought a
fourth time and he said: kill him.
The people said: He has committed theft, Apostle of Allah! So he said:
Cut off his foot. So his (right) foot was cut off. He was brought a

Nu'aym ibn Huzzal: Yazid ibn Nu'aym ibn Huzzal, on his father's
authority said: Ma'iz ibn Malik was an orphan under the protection of my
father. He had illegal sexual intercourse with a slave-girl belonging
to a clan. My father said to him: Go to the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) and inform him of what you have done, for he may
perhaps ask Allah for your forgiveness. His purpose in that was simply a
hope that it might be a way of escape for him. So he went to him and
said: Apostle of Allah! I have committed fornication, so inflict on me
the punishment ordained by Allah. He (the Prophet) turned away from him,
so he came back and said: Apostle of Allah! I have committed
fornication, so inflict on me the punishment ordained by Allah. He
(again) turned away from him, so he came back and said: Apostle of
Allah! I have committed fornication, so inflict on me the punishment
ordained by Allah. When he uttered it four times, the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) said: You have said it four times. With whom did you
commit it? He replied: With so and so. He asked: Did you lie down with
her? He replied: Yes. He asked: Had your skin been in contact with hers?
He replied. Yes. He asked: Did you have intercourse with her? He said:
Yes. So he (the Prophet) gave orders that he should be stoned to death.
He was then taken out to the Harrah, and while he was being stoned he
felt the effect of the stones and could not bear it and fled. But
Abdullah ibn Unays encountered him when those who had been stoning him
could not catch up with him. He threw the bone of a camel's foreleg at
him, which hit him and killed him.
They then went to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and reported it to
him. He said: Why did you not leave him alone. Perhaps he might have
repented and been forgiven by Allah.

Jabir ibn Abdullah: Muhammad ibn Ishaq said: I mentioned the story of
Ma'iz ibn Malik to Asim ibn Umar ibn Qatadah. He said to me: Hasan ibn
Muhammad ibn Ali ibn AbuTalib said to me: Some men of the tribe of Aslam
whom I do not blame and whom you like have transmitted to me the saying
of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him): Why did you not leave him
alone? He said: But I did not understand this tradition. So I went to
Jabir ibn Abdullah and said (to him): Some men of the tribe of Aslam
narrate that the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said when they
mentioned to him the anxiety of Ma'iz when the stones hurt him: "Why did
you not leave him alone?' But I do not know this tradition. He said: My
cousin, I know this tradition more than the people. I was one of those
who had stoned the man. When we came out with him, stoned him and he
felt the effect of the stones, he cried: O people! return me to the
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him). My people killed me and deceived me; they told me that the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) would not kill me. We did not keep away from him till we killed
him. When we returned to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) we
informed him of it. He said: Why did you not leave him alone and bring
him to me? and he said this so that the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) might ascertain it from him. But he did not say this
to abandon the prescribed punishment. He said: I then understood the
intent of the tradition.

Al-Bara' ibn Azib: The people passed by the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) with a Jew who was blackened with charcoal and who
was being flogged. He called them and said: Is this the prescribed
punishment for a fornicator? They said: Yes. He then called on a learned
man among them and asked him: I adjure you by Allah Who revealed the
Torah to Moses, do you find this prescribed punishment for a fornicator
in your divine Book? He said: By Allah, no. If you had not adjured me
about this, I should not have informed you. We find stoning to be
prescribed punishment for a fornicator in our Divine Book. But it
(fornication) became frequent in our people of rank; so when we seized a
person of rank, we left him alone, and when we seized a weak person, we
inflicted the prescribed punishment on him. So we said: Come, let us
agree on something which may be enforced equally on people of higher and
lower rank. So we agreed to blacken the face of a criminal with
charcoal, and flog him, and we abandoned stoning. The Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) then said: O Allah, I am the first to give life to
Thy command which they have killed.
So he commanded regarding him (the Jew) and he was stoned to death.
Allah Most High then sent down: "O Apostle, let not those who race one
another into unbelief, make thee grieve..." up to "They say: If you are
given this, take it, but if not, beware!...." up to "And if any do fail
to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better
than) unbelievers," about Jews, up to "And if any do fail to judge by
(the right of) what Allah hath revealed, they are no better than)
wrong-doers" about Jews: and revealed the verses up to "And if any do
fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no
better than) those who rebel." About this he said: This whole verse was
revealed about the infidels.

An-Nadir were nobler than Qurayzah. When a man of Qurayzah killed a man of an-Nadir, he would be killed. But if a man of an-Nadir killed
a man of Qurayzah, a hundred wasq of dates would be paid as

a man who is a Muslim except for one of the three reasons: Kufr
(disbelief) after accepting Islam, fornication after marriage, or
wrongfully killing someone, for which he may be killed.
I swear by Allah, I have not committed fornication before or after the
coming of Islam, nor did I ever want another religion for me instead of
my religion since Allah gave guidance to me, nor have I killed anyone. So for what reason do you want to kill me?

Sa'd ibn Dumayrah al-Aslami ; Dumayrah al-Aslami: Ziyad ibn Sa'd ibn
Dumayrah as-Sulami said on the authority of his father (Sa'd) and his
grandfather (Dumayrah) (according to Musa's version) who were present in
the battle of Hunayn with the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him):
After the advent of Islam, Muhallam ibn Jaththamah al-Laythi killed
a man of Ashja'. That was the first blood-money decided by the Apostle
of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) (for payment). Uyaynah spoke about the killing
of al-Ashja'i, for he belonged to Ghatafan, and al-Aqra' ibn Habis
spoke on behalf of Muhallam, for he belonged to Khunduf. The voices rose
high, and the dispute and noise grew. So the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) said: Do you not accept blood-money, Uyaynah?
Uyaynah then said: No, I swear by Allah, until I cause his women to
suffer the same fighting and grief as he caused my women to suffer.
Again the voices rose high, and the dispute and noise grew. The Apostle
of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Do you not accept the blood-money
Uyaynah? Uyaynah gave the same reply as before, and a man of Banu Layth
called Mukaytil stood up. He had a weapon and a skin shield in his hand.
He said: I do not find in the beginning of Islam any illustration for
what he has done except the one that "some sheep came on, and those in
the front were shot; hence those in the rear ran away". (The other
example is that) "make a law today and change it." The Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) said: Fifty (camels) here immediately and fifty when
we return to Medina. This happened during some of his journeys.
Muhallam was a tall man of dark complexion. He was with the people. They
continued (to make effort for him) until he was released. He sat before
the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him), with his eyes flowing. He
said: Apostle of Allah! I have done (the act) of which you have been
informed. I repent to Allah, the Exalted, so ask Allah's forgiveness for
me. Apostle of Allah! The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) then
said: Did you kill him with your
weapon at the beginning of Islam. O Allah! do not forgive Muhallam. He
said these words loudly. AbuSalamah added: He (Muhallam) then got up
while he was wiping his tears with the end of his garment. Ibn Ishaq
said: His people alleged that the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
asked forgiveness for him after that.

Jewess (and said to her): What motivated you to do the work you have
done? She said: If you were a prophet, it would not harm you; but if you
were a king, I should rid the people of you. The Apostle of Allah

document of mine. Musaddad said: He then took out a document. Ahmad
said: A document from the sheath of his sword. It contained: The lives
of all Muslims are equal; they are one hand against others; the lowliest
of them can guarantee their protection. Beware, a Muslim must not be killed for an infidel, nor must one who has been given a covenant be killed
while his covenant holds. If anyone introduces an innovation, he will
be responsible for it. If anyone introduces an innovation or gives
shelter to a man who introduces an innovation (in religion), he is
cursed by Allah, by His angels, and by all the people. Musaddad said:

(Book #39, Hadith #4530) |

at the rate of four hundred dinars or their equivalent in silver for
townsmen, and he would fix it according to the price of camels. So when
they were dear, he increased the amount to be paid, and when cheap
prices prevailed he reduced the amount to be paid. In the time of the
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) they reached between four hundred
and eight hundred dinars, their equivalent in silver being eight
thousand dirhams. He said: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) gave
judgment that those who possessed cattle should pay two hundred cows,
and those who possessed sheep two thousand sheep. He said: The Apostle
of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: The blood-money is to be treated as
something to be inherited by the heirs of the one who has been killed,
and the remainder should be divided among the agnates. He said: The
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) gave judgment that for cutting off a
nose completely there was full blood-money, one hundred (camels) were
to be paid. If the tip of the nose was cut off, half of the
blood-money,i.e. fifty camels were to be paid, or their equivalent in
gold or in silver, or a hundred cows, or one thousand sheep. For the
hand, when it was cut of,f half of the blood-money was to be paid; for
one foot of half, the blood-money was to be paid. For a wound in the
head, a third of the blood-money was due, i.e. thirty-three camels and a
third of the blood-money, or their equivalent in gold, silver, cows or
sheep. For a head thrust which reaches the body, the same blood-money
was to be paid. Ten camels were to be paid for every finger, and five
camels for every tooth. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) gave
judgment that the blood-money for a woman should be divided among her
relatives on her father's side, who did not inherit anything from her
except the residence of her heirs. If she was killed,
her blood-money should be distributed among her heirs, and they would
have the right of taking revenge on the murderer. The Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) said: There is nothing for the murderer; and if he
(the victim) has no heir, his heir will be the one who is nearest to him
among the people, but the murderer should not inherit anything.
Muhammad said: All this has been transmitted to me by Sulayman ibn Musa
on the authority of Amr ibn Shu'ayb who, on his father's authority, said

AbuSa'id al-Khudri: Muhammad ibn AbuYahya said that his father told
that he and his companion went to AbuSa'id al-Khudri to pay a sick visit
to him. He said: Then we came out from him and met a companion of ours
who wanted to go to him. We went ahead and sat in the mosque. He then
came back and told us that he heard AbuSa'id al-Khudri say: The Apostle
of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Some snakes are jinn; so when anyone
sees one of them in his house, he should give it a warning three times.
If it return (after that), he should kill it, for it is a devil.

AbdurRahman Ibn AbuLayla: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) was
asked about the house-snakes. He said: When you see one of them in your
dwelling, say: I adjure you by the covenant which Noah made with you,
and I adjure you by the covenant which Solomon made with you not to harm
us. Then if they come back, kill them.

related to me from Malik from Sumayy, the mawla of Abu Bakr ibn Abd
ar-Rahman from Abu Salih from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If a man who is walking
along a road finds a branch of thorns on the road and removes it, Allah
thanks him for doing it and forgives him." He also said, "Martyrs are
five: the one killed by a plague, the one killed by a disease of the belly, the one who drowns, the one killed
by a collapsing building, and the martyr in the path of Allah.' He also
said, "If people knew what there was in the call to prayer and the
first row, and they could find no other way except to draw lots for it,
they would draw lots for it. And if they knew what there was in doing
dhuhr at its time, they would race each other to it. And if they knew
what there was in the prayers of isha and maghrib, they would come to
them even if they had to crawl .

related to me from Malik from Abu'n Nadr, the mawla of Umar ibn
Ubaydullah, that Abu Murra, the mawla of Aqil ibn Abi Talib, told him
that he had heard Umm Hani bint Abi Talib say, "I went to the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in the year of the
conquest and found him doing ghusl while his daughter Fatima, was
screening him with a garment. I said to him, 'Peace be upon you' and he
said, 'Who is that?' I replied, 'Umm Hani bint Abi Talib,' and he said,
'Welcome, Umm Hani!' When he had finished his ghusl, he stood and prayed
eight rakas, covering himself with one garment, and then came away. I
said, 'Messenger of Allah, the son of my mother, AIi, says that he is
determined to kill so-and-so, son of
Hubayra, a man I have placed under my protection.' The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'We give
protection to whoever you have given protection to, Umm Hani.' " Umm
Hani related that this incident happened in the morning.

related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ata ibn Yazid al-Laythi
that Ubaydullah ibn Adi ibnal-Khiyar said, "Once when the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was sitting with some
people, a man came to him and spoke secretly to him. Nobody knew what he
had said until the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, disclosed that he had asked for permission to kill
one of the hypocrites. When he disclosed this, the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Doesn't he testify that
there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah?'
The man replied, 'Of course, but he hasn't really done so.' He said,
'Doesn't he do the prayer?' and the man replied, 'Of course, but he
doesn't really do the prayer.' He said, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, 'Those are the ones whom Allah has forbidden me (to kill).' "
(Book #9, Hadith #9.24.87) |

related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn Jabir ibn Atik
that Atik ibn al-Harith, the grandfather of Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn
Jabir on his mother's side, told him that Jabir ibn Atik had told him
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
came to visit Abdullah ibn Thabit and found him in his death-throes. He
called to him but he did not reply. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "We belong to Allah, and to Him we
are returning," and added, "You are being taken from us, Abu'r-Rabi.''
The women cried out and wept, and Jabir began to silence them. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"Leave them, and when the necessary time comes, none of the women should
cry." They said, "Messenger of Allah, what is the necessary time?", and
he replied, "When he dies." The dying man's daughter said, "By Allah, I
hope that you will be a martyr, for you have completed your
preparations for battle," and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Allah has made his reward fall according
to his intention. What do you consider dying a martyr to be?" They
said, "Death in the way of Allah." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "There are seven kinds of rnartyr
other than those killed in the way of Allah. Someone who is killed
by the plague is a martyr, someone who drowns is a martyr, someone who
dies of pleurisy is a martyr, someone who dies of a disease of the belly
is a martyr, someone who dies by fire is a martyr, someone who dies
under a falling building is a martyr and a woman who dies in childbirth
is a martyr."

related to me, and I (myself) heard Malik say, "The best that I have
heard about some one who has to fast for two consecutive months because
of having killed someone by mistake
or having pronounced the dhihar form of divorce, becoming very ill and
having to break his fast, is that if he recovers from his illness and is
strong enough to fast, he must not delay doing so. He continues his
fast from where he left off. Similarly, a woman who has to fast because
of having killed some one by mistake
should not delay resuming her fast when she has become pure after her
period. She continues her fast from where she left off. No one who, by
the Book of Allah, has to fast for two consecutive months may break his
fast except for a reason - illness or menstruation. He must not travel
and break his fast." Malik said, "This is the best that I have heard
about the matter."
(Book #18, Hadith #18.14.40) |
| (6) Yahya
related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar would never
wash his head while he was in ihram except if he had to do ghusl because
of a wet dream. Malik said, "I have heard the people of knowledge say
that there is no harm in someone who is in ihram rubbing his head with
certain kinds of plants after he has stoned the Jamrat al-Aqaba but
before he has shaved his head, because once he has finished stoning the
Jamrat al-Aqaba it is halal for him to kill lice, to shave his head, to clean himself of body hair, and to wear normal clothes."
(Book #20, Hadith #20.2.7) |
| (7) Yahya
related to me from Malik, from Abu'n-Nadr, the mawla of 'Umar ibn
'Ubaydullah at-Taymi, from Nafi, the mawla of Abu Qatada al-Ansari, that
Abu Qatada was once with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace. When they got to one of the roads to Makka he fell
behind with some companions of his who were muhrim, while he was not.
Then he saw a wild ass, so he got on his mount and asked his companions
to give him his whip but they refused. Then he asked them for his spear
and they refused to give it to him. So he took hold of it and attacked
the ass and killed it. Some of the
companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, ate from it, and others refused. When they had caught up with the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, they asked
him about it and he said, "It is food that Allah has fed you with."
(Book #20, Hadith #20.22.77) |
| (8) Yahya
related to me from Malik, from Hisham ibn Urwa, from his father, that
A'isha, umm al-muminin, said to him, "Son of my sister, it is only for
ten nights, so if you get an urge to do something, leave it," by which
she meant eating game-meat. Malik said that if game was hunted forthe
sake of a man who is in ihram and it was prepared for him and he ate
some of it knowing that it had been hunted for his sake, then he had to
pay a forfeit for all of the game that had been hunted on his behalf.
Malik was asked about whether someone who was forced to eat carrion
while he was in ihram should hunt game and then eat that rather than the
carrion, and he said, "It is better for him to eat the carrion, because
Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, has not given permission for someone in
ihram to either eat game or take it in any situation, but He has made
allowances for eating carrion when absolutely necessary." Malik said,
"It is not halal for anyone, whether in ihram or not, to eat game which
has been killed or sacrificed by some one in ihram, because, whether it was killed
deliberately or by mistake, it was not done in a halal manner, and so
eating it is not halal. I have heard this from more than one person.
Somebody who kills game and then eats it only has to make a single kaffara, which is the same as for somebody who kills game but does not eat any of it."
(Book #20, Hadith #20.23.86) |
| (9) Malik
said, "It is not halal to eat any game that has been hunted in the
Haram, or has had a dog set after it in the Haram and then been killed
outside the Haram. Anyone that does that has to pay a forfeit for what
has been hunted. However, some one that sets his dog after game outside
the Haram and then follows it until it is hunted down in the Haram does
not have to pay any forfeit, unless he set the dog after the game near
to the Haram. The game should not be eaten, however. If he set the dog
loose near the Haram then he has to pay a forfeit for the game."
(Book #20, Hadith #20.24.87) |
| (10) Malik said, "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says, 'O you who trust, do not kill game while you are in ihram. Whoever of you kills game intentionally has to pay a forfeit commensurate with what he has killed
in cattle which two men from among you shall judge, a sacrificial
animal which reaches the Kaba, or else he makes a kaffara of either
feeding poor people or the equivalent of that in fasting, so that he may
taste the consequences of what he has done.' " (Sura 5 ayat 95). Malik
said, "Someone who hunts game when he is not in ihram and then kills it while he is in ihram is in the same position as someone who buys game while he is in ihram and then kills it. Allah has forbidden killing
it, and so a man who does so has to pay a forfeit for it. The position
that we go by in this matter is that a forfeit is assessed for anyone
who kills game while he is in ihram." Yahya said that Malik said, "The best that I have heard about someone who kills game and is assessed for it is that the game which he has killed
is assessed and its value in food is estimated and with that food he
feeds each poor man a mudd, or fasts a day in place of each mudd. The
number of poor men is considered, and if it is ten then he fasts ten
days, and if it is twenty he fasts twenty days, according to how many
people there are to be fed, even if there are more than sixty." Malik
said, "I have heard that a forfeit is assessed for someone who kills game in the Haram while he is not in ihram in the same way that it is assessed for some one who kills game in the Haram while he is in ihram ."
(Book #20, Hadith #20.25.88) |

related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"There are five kinds of animal which it is not wrong for some one in
ihram to kill: crows, kites, scorpions, rats and mice, and wild dogs."
(Book #20, Hadith #20.26.89) |
| (12) Yahya
related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar from Abdullah ibn Umar
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace,said,"There are five (kinds of) animal which it is not wrong for
some one in ihram to kill: scorpions, rats and mice, crows, kites and wild dogs. "
(Book #20, Hadith #20.26.90) |
| (13) Yahya
related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"There are five trespassers that can be killed in the Haram: rats and mice, scorpions, crows, kites and wild dogs."
(Book #20, Hadith #20.26.91) |
| (14) Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Umar ibn al-Khattab told people to kill snakes in the Haram. Malik said, about the "wild dogs" which people were told to kill
in the Haram, that any animals that wounded, attacked, or terrorised
men, such as lions, leopards, Iynxes and wolves, were counted as"wild
dogs." However, someone who was in ihram should not kill
beasts of prey that did not attack (people), such as hyenas, foxes,
cats and anything else like them, and if he did then he had to pay a
forfeit for it. Similarly, someone in ihram should not kill
any predatory birds except the kinds that the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, specified, namely crows and kites. If someone
in ihram killed any other kind of bird he had to pay a forfeit for it.
(Book #20, Hadith #20.26.92) |
| (15) Yahya
related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Said ibn al-Musayyab
said, "If someone dedicates an animal voluntarily and then it is injured
and he kills it and gives everyone a
free hand in eating it, he owes nothing. If, however, he eats some of
it himself, or tells certain other people to eat it, then he owes
compensation."
(Book #20, Hadith #20.45.155) |
| (16) Yahya
related to me from Malik that he had heard that Abdullah ibn Abbas used
to say, "The least difficult thing acceptable as a sacrificial animal
is a sheep." Malik said, "That is what I like most out of what I have
heard about the matter, because Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says in
His Book, 'O you who trust, do not kill game while you are in ihram. Whoever of you kills
it intentionally, there shall be repayment the like of what he has
slain, from livestock, as shall be judged by two men of justice among
you, a sacrificial animal which will reach the Kaba, or food for poor
people, or the equivalent of that in fasting,' (Sura 5 ayat 95) and a
sheep is one of the animals which is judged to be acceptable as a
sacrifice. Allah has called it a sacrificial animal, and there is no
dispute among us about the matter. How, indeed, could anyone be in doubt
about the matter? A sheep is the kaffara for anything which does not
reach the extent of something for which a camel or a cow would be the
kaffara, and the kaffara for something which does not reach the extent
of something for which a sheep would be the kaffara is fasting, or
feeding poor people."
(Book #20, Hadith #20.49.168) |
| (17) Yahya
related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar used to say,
"A woman in ihram should not comb her hair when she leaves ihram until
she has cut some of the tresses of her hair, and if she has an animal
for sacrifice with her she should not cut off any of her hair until the
animal has been killed."
(Book #20, Hadith #20.50.172) |
| (18) Yahya
related to me from Malik that he had heard one of the people of
knowledge say, "A man and wife should not share in one sacrificial
animal. Each should sacrifice an animal separately." Malik was asked
about whether someone who had been entrusted with an animal for him to
sacrifice on hajj, who went into ihram for umra, should sacrifice it
when he came out of ihram or postpone it so that he sacrificed it at the
time of the hajj while in the meantime he came out of ihram from his
umra. He said, "He should postpone it so that he may sacrifice it at the
time of the hajj, and meanwhile come out of ihram from his umra." Malik
said, "If it is judged that some-one must offer an animal for having killed
game, or for any other reason, this animal can only be sacrificed at
Makka, since Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says, 'a sacrificial animal
which will reach the Kaba.' The fasting or sadaqa that is considered
equivalent to offering a sacrifice can be done outside Makka, and the
person who is doing it can do it wherever he likes."
(Book #20, Hadith #20.50.173) |
| (19) Yahya
related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Yaqub ibn Khalid
al-Makhzumi that Abu Asma, the mawla of Abdullah ibn Jafar, told him
that he was with Abdullah ibn Jafar when they set out once from Madina.
At as-Suqya they passed by Husayn ibn Ali, who was ill at the time.
Abdullah ibn Jafar stayed with him and then, when he feared that he was
late (for the hajj) he left, and sent for Ali ibn Abi Talib and Asma
bint Umays in Madina, and they came to Husayn. Then Husayn pointed to
his head, and AIi told someone to shave his head. Then he sacrificed an
animal for him at as-Suqya, killing a camel for him. Yahya ibn Said added, "Husayn had set out with Uthman ibn Affan on that particular journey to Makka. "
(Book #20, Hadith #20.50.174) |
| (20) 190
Yahya related to me from Malik from Jafar ibn Muhammad from his father
from Ali ibn Abi Talib that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, killed some of his sacrificial animals himself, and someone else killed the rest.
(Book #20, Hadith #20.57.190) |
| (21) Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his father used to kill his sacrificial animals while they were standing. Malik said, "No-one is permitted to shave his head until he has killed
his sacrificial animal, and no-one must sacrifice before dawn on the
day of sacrifice. The things that should be done on the day of sacrifice
are slaughtering, donning clothes, grooming the body generally
(at-tafath) and shaving the head, and none of this may be done before
the day of sacrifice."
(Book #20, Hadith #20.57.192) |
| (22) Yahya
related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim that his
father used to go into Makka by night when he was doing umra and do
tawaf of the House and say between Safa and Marwa and delay the shaving
until the morning, but he would not go back to the House and do tawaf
again until he had shaved his head. Abd ar-Rahman added, "Sometimes he
would enter the mosque and do the witr prayer there without actually
going near the House." Malik said, "At-tafath is shaving the head,
putting on normal clothes and things of that nature." Yahya said that
Malik was asked whether a man who forgot to shave (his head) at Mina
during the hajj could shave in Makka, and he said, "That is permissible,
but I prefer the shaving to be done at Mina." Malik said, "What we are
all agreed upon here (in Madina) is that no-one should shave his head or
cut his hair until he has killed
his sacrificial animal, if he has one, and things that are haram for him
do not become halal for him until he leaves ihram at Mina on the day of
sacrifice. This is because Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says, 'Do
not shave yourheads until the sacrificial animal has reached its
destination. ' "
(Book #20, Hadith #20.58.194) |
| (23) Yahya
related to me from Malik from Abd al-Malik ibn Qurayr from Muhammad ibn
Sirin that a man came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and said, "I was racing a
friend on horseback towards a narrow mountain trail and we killed
a gazelle accidently and we were in ihram. What is your opinion?" Umar
said to a man by his side, "Come, so that you and I may make an
assessment." They decided on a female goat for him, and the man turned
away saying, "This amir al-muminin cannot even make an assessment in the
case of a gazelle until he calls a man to decide with him." Umar
overheard the man's words and called him and asked him, "Do you recite
surat al-Ma'ida?" and he said, "No." He said, "Then do you recognize
this man who has taken the decision with me?" and he said, "No." He
said, "If you had told me that you did recite surat al-Ma'ida, I would
have dealt you a blow." Then he said, "Allah the Blessed, the Exalted
says in His Book, 'as shall be judged by two men of justice among you, a
sacrificial animal to reach the Kaba' (Sura 5 ayat 95), and this is Abd
ar-Rahman ibn Awf."
(Book #20, Hadith #20.72.240) |
| (24) Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibn al-Musayyab used to say, "For the pigeon of Makka, when it is killed,
a sheep is due." Malik said, that if a man of the people of Makka were
to enter ihram for hajj or umra and there was a flock of Makkan pigeons
in his house and they were shut in and died, "I think that he should pay
for that with a sheep for each bird."
(Book #20, Hadith #20.72.242) |
| (25) Malik said, I still hear that when a person in ihram kills
an ostrich, a camel is due." Malik said, "I think that for an ostrich
egg, one tenth of the price of a camel is due in the same way that there
is a newly-born male or female slave for the unborn child of a free
woman. The value of the newly-born slave is fifty dinars, and that is
one-tenth of what the blood-money for the mother would be. "Birds from
the eagle family, eagles or falcons or vultures count as game for which a
price is paid just as a price is paid for any game which a person in
ihram kills. For everything for
which a penalty is paid, the assessment is the same, whether the animal
is old or young. The analogy of that is that the blood-money for the
young and the old freeman, are considered to be the same."
(Book #20, Hadith #20.72.243) |
| (26) Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that a man came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and said, "Amir al-muminin, I killed some locusts with my whip when I was in ihram," and Umar said to him, "Give a handful of food."
(Book #20, Hadith #20.73.244) |
| (27) Yahya
related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that a man came to Umar
ibn al-Khattab and asked him about some locusts he had killed
while he was in ihram. Umar said to Kab, "Come, let's decide." Kab
said, "A dirham," and Umar said to Kab, "You can find dirhams. A date is
better than a locust."
(Book #20, Hadith #20.73.245) |
| (28) Yahya
related to me from Malik that Ata ibn Abdullah al-Khurasani said that
an old man from Suq al-Buram in Kufa had related to him that Kab ibn
Ujra said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, came to me while I was blowing under a cooking pot belonging to
my companions and my head and beard were full of lice. He took my
forehead and said, 'Shave your hair and fast three days or feed six poor
people.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, was aware that I did not have anything with me to sacrifice.'"
Malik said, concerning paying compensation (fidya) for the relief of
physical discomfort, "The custom concerning it is that no one pays
compensation until he has done something which makes it obligatory to
pay compensation just as making amends (kaffara) is only done when it
has become obligatory for the one who owes it. The person can pay the
compensation wherever he wishes, regardless of whether he has to
sacrifice an animal or fast or give sadaqa -- in Makka or in any other
town." Malik said, "It is not correct for a person in ihram to pluck out
any of his hair or to shave it or cut it until he has left ihram,
unless he is suffering from an ailment of the head, in which case he
owes the compensation Allah the Exalted has ordered. It is not correct
for a person in ihram to cut his nails, or to kill
his lice, or to remove them from his head or from his skin or his
garment to the ground. If a person in ihram removes lice from his skin
or his garment, he must give away the quantity of food that he can scoop
up with both hands. " Malik said,"Anyone who, while in ihram, plucks
out hairs from his nose or armpit or rubs his body with a depilatory
agent or shaves the hair from around a head wound out of necessity or
shaves his neck for the place of the cupping glasses, regardless of
whether it is in forgetfulness or in ignorance, owes compensation in all
these instances, and he must not shave the place of the cupping
glasses. Someone, who, out of ignorance, shaves his head before he
stones the jamra. must also pay compensation."
(Book #20, Hadith #20.73.248) |
| (29) Malik
said, concerning someone who wishes to wear clothes that a person in
ihram must not wear, or cut his hair, or touch perfume without
necessity, because he finds it easy to pay the compensation, "No-one
must do such things. They are only allowed in cases of necessity, and
compensation is owed by whoever does them." Malik was asked whether the
culprit could choose for himself the method of compensation he makes,
and he was asked what kind of animal was to be sacrificed, and how much
food was to be given, and how many days were to be fasted, and whether
the person could delay any of these, or if they had to be done
immediately. He answered, 'Whenever there are alternatives in the Book
of Allah for the kaffara, the culprit can choose to do whichever of the
alternatives he prefers. As for the sacrifice - a sheep, and as for the
fasting - three days. As for the food - feeding six poor men, for every
poor man two mudds, by the first mudd, the mudd of the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace." Malik said, "I have heard one of
the people of knowledge saying, 'When a person in ihram throws something
and hits game unintentionally and kills
it, he must pay compensation. In the same way, someone outside the
Haram who throws anything into the Haram and hits game he did not intend
to, killing it, has to pay
compensation, because the intentional and the mistaken are in the same
position in this matter.' " Malik said, concerning people who kill
game together while they are muhrim or in the Haram, "I think that each
one of them owes a full share. If a sacrificial animal is decided for
them, each one of them owes one, and if fasting is decided for them, the
full fasting is owed by each one of them. The analogy of that is a
group of people who kill a man by
mistake and the kaffara for that is that each person among them must
free a slave or fast two consecutive months." Malik said, "Anyone who
stones or hunts game after stoning the jamra and shaving his head but
before he has performed the tawaf al-ifada, owes compensation for that
game, because Allah the Blessed, the Exalted said, 'And when you leave
ihram, then hunt,' and restrictions still remain for someone who has not
done the tawaf al-ifada about touching perfume and women." Malik said,
"The person in ihram does not owe anything for plants he cuts down in
the Haram and it has not reached us that anyone has given a decision of
anything for it, but O how wrong is what he has done! " Malik said,
concerning some one who was ignorant of, or who forgot the fast of three
days in the hajj, or who was ill during them and so did not fast them
until he had returned to his community, "He must offer a sacrificial

related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Anas ibn Malik that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, entered
Makka, in the Year of Victory, wearing a helmet, and when he took it off
a man came to him and said, "Messenger of Allah, Ibn Khatal is clinging
to the covers of the Kaba,'' and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "kill
him." Malik commented, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, was not in ihram at the time, and Allah knows best."

related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that a son of Kab ibn Malik
(Malik believed that ibn Shihab said it was Abd ar-Rahman ibn Kab) said,
"The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
forbade those who fought ibn Abi Huqayq (a treacherous jew from Madina)
to kill women and children. He said
that one of the men fighting had said, 'The wife of ibn Abi Huqayq began
screaming and I repeatedly raised my sword against her. Then I would
remember the prohibition of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, so I would stop. Had it not been for that, we would
have been rid of her.' "

related to me from Malik from Nafi from Ibn Umar that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw the corpse of a
woman who had been slain in one of the raids, and he disapproved of it
and forbade the killing of women and children.

related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Abu Bakr as-Siddiq
was sending armies to ash-Sham. He went for a walk with Yazid ibn Abi
Sufyan who was the commander of one of the battalions. It is claimed
that Yazid said to Abu Bakr, "Will you ride or shall I get down?" Abu
Bakrsaid, "I will not ride and you will not get down. I intend these
steps of mine to be in the way of Allah." Then Abu Bakr advised Yazid,
"You will find a people who claim to have totally given themselves to
Allah. Leave them to what they claim to have given themselves. You will
find a people who have shaved the middle of their heads, strike what
they have shaved with the sword. "I advise you ten things: Do not kill
women or children or an aged, infirm person. Do not cut down
fruit-bearing trees. Do not destroy an inhabited place. Do not slaughter
sheep or camels except for food. Do not burn bees and do not scatter
them. Do not steal from the booty, and do not be cowardly."
(Book #21, Hadith #21.3.10) |
| (34) Yahya
related to me from Malik that he had heard that Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz
wrote to one of his governors, "It has been passed down to us that when
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent
out a raiding party, he would say to them, 'Make your raids in the name
of Allah in the way of Allah. Fight whoever denies Allah. Do not steal
from the booty, and do not act treacherously. Do not mutilate and do not
kill children.' Say the same to your armies and raiding parties, Allah willing. Peace be upon you."
(Book #21, Hadith #21.3.11) |
| (35) Yahya
related to me from Malik from a man of Kufa that Umar ibn al-Khattab
wrote to a lieutenant of an army which he had sent out, "I have heard
that it is the habit of some of your men to chase an unbeliever till he
takes refuge in a high place. Then one man tells him in Persian not to
be afraid, and when he comes up to him, he kills
him. By He in whose hand my self is, if I knew someone who had done
that, I would strike off his head." Yahya said, I heard Malik say, "This
tradition is not unanimously agreed upon, so one does not act on it."
Malik when asked whether safe conduct promised by gesture had the same
status as that promised by speech, said, "Yes. I think that one can
request an army not to kill someone
by gesturing for safe conduct, because as far as I am concerned, gesture
has the same status as speech. I have heard that Abdullah ibn Abbas
said, 'There is no people who betray a pledge, but that Allah gives
their enemies power over them.' "

related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Amr ibn Kathir ibn
Aflah from Abu Muhammad, the mawla of Abu Qatada that Abu Qatada ibn
Ribi said, "We went out with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, in the year of Hunayn. When the armies met, the
Muslims were put in disarray. I saw a man from the idol worshippers who
had got the better of one of the Muslims, so I circled round and came up
behind him, and struck him with a sword on his shoulder-blade. He
turned to me and grabbed me so hard that I felt the smell of death in
it. Then death overcame him, and he let go of me." He continued, "I met
Umar ibn al-Khattab and said to him, 'What's going on with the people?'
He replied, 'The Command of Allah.' Then the people took hold of the
battle and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, 'Whoever has killed one
of the dead and can prove it, can strip him of his personal effects.' I
stood up and said, 'Who will testify for me?' and then I sat down. The
Messenger of Allah repeated, 'Whoever has killed
one of the dead and can prove it, can strip him of his personal
effects.' I stood up and said, 'Who will testify for me?' then I sat
down. Then he repeated his statement a third time, so I stood up, and
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
'What's the matter with you, Abu Qatada?' So I related my story to him. A
man said, 'He has spoken the truth, Messenger of Allah. I have the
effects of that slain person with me, so give him compensation for it,
Messenger of Allah.' Abu Bakr said, 'No, by Allah! He did not intend
that one of the lions of Allah should fight for Allah and His Messenger
and then give you his spoils.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, 'He has spoken the truth, hand it over to
him.' He gave it to me, and I sold the breast-plate and I bought a
garden in the area of the Banu Salima with the money. It was my first
property, and I acquired it in Islam."

related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that al-Qasim ibn Muhammad
said that he had heard a man asking ibn Abbas about booty. Ibn Abbas
said, "Horses are part of the booty and personal effects are as well."
Then the man repeated his question, and Ibn Abbas repeated his answer.
Then the man said, "What are the spoils which He, the Blessed, the
Exalted, mentioned in His Book?" He kept on asking until Ibn Abbas was
on the verge of being annoyed, then Ibn Abbas said, "Do you know who
this man is like? Ibn Sabigh, who was beaten by Umar ibn al-Khattab
because he was notorious for asking foolish questions." Yahya said that
Malik was asked whether someone who killed
one of the enemy could keep the man's effects without the permission of
the Imam. He said, "No one can do that without the permission of the
Imam. Only the Imam can make ijtihad. I have not heard that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ever said,
'Whoever kills someone can have his effects,' on any other day than the day of Hunayn." 3

related to me from Malik from Thawr ibn Zayd ad-Dili from Abu'l-Ghayth
Salim, the mawla of ibn Muti that Abu Hurayra said, "We went out with
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in the
yearof Khaybar. We did not capture any gold or silver except for
personal effects, clothes, and baggage. Rifaa ibn Zayd presented a black
slave boy to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, whose name was Midam. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, made for Wadi'l-Qura, and when he arrived there,
Midam was unsaddling the camel of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, when a stray arrow struck and killed
him. The people said, 'Good luck to him! The Garden!' The Messenger of
Allah said, 'No! By He in whose hand my self is! The cloak which he took
from the spoils on the Day of Khaybar before they were distributed will
blaze with fire on him.' When the people heard that, a man brought a
sandal-strap or two sandal-straps to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, 'A sandal-strap or two sandal-straps of
fire!' "

said, "By He in whose hand my self is! I would like to fight in the way
of Allah and be killed, then be brought to life again so I could be killed, and then be brought to life again so I could be killed." Abu Hurayra said three times, "I testify to it by Allah!"

that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, "Allah laughs at two men. One of them kills the other, but each of them will enter the Garden: one fights in the way of Allah and is killed, then Allah turns to the killer, so he fights (in the way of Allah) and also becomes a martyr."

related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Said al-Maqburi from
Abdullah ibn Abi Qatada that his father had said that a man came to the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said,
"O Messenger of Allah! If I am killed
in the way of Allah, expectant for reward, sincere, advancing, and not
retreating, will Allah pardon my faults?" The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Yes." When the man turned
away, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
called him - or commanded him and he was called to him. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to him, "What did
you say?" He repeated his words to him, and the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said to him, "Yes, except for the debt. Jibril
said that to me."

which was being dug at Madina. A man looked into the grave and said, 'An
awful bed for the mumin. 'The Messenger of Allah, may Allah blesshim
and grant him peace, said, 'Evil? What you have said is absolutely
wrong.' The man said, 'I didn't mean that, Messenger of Allah. I meant
being killed in the way of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Being killed
in the way of Allah has no like! There is no place on the earth which I
would prefer my grave to be than here (meaning Madina). He repeated it
three times.' "

related to me from Malik that he had heard the people of knowledge say
that martyrs in the way of Allah were not washed, nor were any of them
prayed over. They were buried in the garments in which they were slain.
Malik said, "That is the sunna for someone who is killed
on the battleground and is not reached until he is already dead.
Someone who is carried off and lives for as long as Allah wills after
it, is washed and prayed over as was Umar ibn al-Khattab."

related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha that
Anas ibn Malik had said that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, went to Quba, he visited Umm Haram bint
Milhan and she fed him. Umm Haram was the wife of Ubada ibn as-Samit.
One day the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
had called on her and she had fed him, and sat down to delouse his
hair. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
had dozed and woke up smiling. Umm Haram said, "What is making you
smile, Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Some of my community were
presented to me, raiding in the way of Allah. They were riding in the
middle of the sea, kings on thrones, or like kings on thrones." (Ishaq
wasn't sure). She said, "O Messenger of Allah! Ask Allah to put me among
them!" So he had made a dua for her, and put his head down and slept.
Then he had woken up smiling, and she said to him, "Messenger of Allah,
why are you smiling?" He said, "Some of my community were presented to
me, raiding in the way of Allah. They were kings on thrones or like
kings on thrones," as he had said in the first one. She said, "O
Messenger of Allah! Ask Allah to put me among them!" He said, "You are
among the first." Ishaq added, "She travelled on the sea in the time of
Muawiya, and when she landed, she was thrown from her mount and killed."

related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Abu Salih as-Samman
from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Had I not been concerned for my community, I
would have liked never to stay behind a raiding party going out in the
way of Allah. However, I do not find the means to carry them to it, nor
do they find anything on which to ride out and it is grievous for them
that they should stay behind me. I would like to fight in the way of
Allah and be killed, then brought to life so I could be killed and then brought to life so I could be killed."

related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Abu Murra, the mawla
of Aqil ibn Abi Talib asked Abu Hurayra about a sheep which was
slaughtered and then part of it moved. He ordered him to eat it. Then he
asked Zayd ibn Thabit about it, and he said, "Does a corpse move?" and
he forbade eating its meat. Malik was asked about a sheep which fell
down and injured itself badly and then its master reached it and
slaughtered it. Blood flowed from it but it did not move. Malik said,
"If he kills it and blood flows from it and its eyes blink, he should eat it."
(Book #24, Hadith #24.3.7) |
| (47) Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that al-Qasim ibn Muhammad disapproved of eating game that had been killed with throwing sticks and by clay pellets.
(Book #25, Hadith #25.1.2) |
| (48) Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Said ibn al-Musayyab disapproved of killing
domestic animals that had become wild by any means that game was slain
such as arrows and the like. Malik said, "I do not see any harm in
eating game which is pierced by a throwing stick in a vital organ.
Allah, the Blessed, the Exalted! said, 'Oh you who believe! Allah will
surely try you with something of the game that your hands and spears
attain.' " (Sura 5 ayat 97). Yahya said, "Any game that man obtains by
his hand or by his spear or by any weapon which pierces it and reaches a
vital organ, is acceptable as Allah, the Exalted, has said."
(Book #25, Hadith #25.1.3) |
| (49) Yahya
related to me from Malik that he had heard the people of knowledge say
that when a man hit game and something else might have contributed to
death, like water or an untrained dog, that game was not to be eaten
unless it was beyond doubt that it was the arrow of the hunter that had killed it by reaching a vital organ, so that it did not have any life after that.
(Book #25, Hadith #25.1.4) |
| (50) Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Sad ibn Abi Waqqas had said, when asked about a trained dog killing game, "Eat, even if only one piece of it remains."
(Book #25, Hadith #25.2.7) |
| (51) Yahya
related to me from Malik that he had heard some of the people of
knowledge say that when falcons, eagles, and hawks and their like,
understood as trained dogs understood, there was no harm in eating what
they had killed in the course of
hunting, if the name of Allah had been mentioned when they were sent
out. Malik said, "The best of what I have heard about retrieving game
from the falcon's talons or from the dog's fangs and then waiting until
it dies, is that it is not halal to eat it." Malik said, "The same
applies to anything which could have been slaughtered by the hunter when
it was in the talons of the falcon or the fangs of the dog. If the
hunter leaves it until the falcon or dog has killed
it, it is not halal to eat it either". He continued, "The same thing
applies to any game hit by a hunter and caught while still alive, which
he neglects to slaughter before it dies." Malik said, "It is generally
agreed among us that it is halal to eat the game that a hunting-dog
belonging to magians hunts or kills,
if it is sent out by a muslim and the animal is trained. There is no
harm in it even if the muslim does not actually slaughter it. It is the
same as a muslim using a magian's knife to slaughter with or using his
bow and arrows to shoot and kill
with. The game he shot and the animal he slaughters are halal. There is
no harm in eating them. If a magian sends out a muslim's hunting dog for
game, and it catches it, the game is not to be eaten unless it is
slaughtered by a muslim. That is like a magian using a muslim's bow and
arrow to hunt game with, or like his using a muslim's knife to slaughter
with. It is not halal to eat anything killed like that.

related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that Sad al-Jari, the
mawla of Umar ibn al-Khattab asked Abdullah ibn Umar about fish which
had killed each other or which had
died from severe cold . He said, "There is no harm in eating them.'' Sad
said,' 'I then asked Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al As and he said the same."
(Book #25, Hadith #25.3.10) |
| (53) Yahya
related to me from Malik from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman from more
than one of the people of knowledge of that time, that those who were killed
on the Day of the Camel, the Day of Siffin, the Day of al-Harra, and
the Day of Qudayd did not inherit from each other. None of them
inherited anything from his companion unless it was known that he had
been killed before his companion.
Malik said, "That is the way of doing things about which there is no
dispute, and which none of the people of knowledge in our city doubt.
The procedure with two mutual heirs who are drowned, or killed
in another way, when it is not known which of them died first is the
same - neither of them inherits anything from his companion. Their
inheritance goes to whoever remains of their heirs. They are inherited
from by the living." Malik said, "No one should inherit from anyone else
when there is doubt, and one should only inherit from the other when
there is certainty of knowledge and witnesses. That is because a man and
his mawla whom his father has freed might die at the same time. The
sons of the free man could say, 'Our father inherited from the mawla.'
They should not inherit from the mawla without knowledge or testimony
that he died first. The living people most entitled to his wala' inherit
from him." Malik said, "Another example is two full brothers who die.
One of them has children and the other does not. They have a
half-brother by their father. It is not known which of them died first,
so the inheritance of the childless one goes to his half-brother by the
father. The children of the full-brother get nothing." Malik said,
"Another example is when a paternal aunt and the son of her brother die,
or else the daughter of the brother and her paternal uncle. It is not
known which of them died first. The paternal uncle does not inherit
anything from the daughter of his brother, and the son of the brother
does not inherit anything from his paternal aunt."

related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Sahl ibn Sad as-Saidi
told him that Uwaymir al-Ajlani came to Asim ibn Adi al-Ansari and said
to him, "Asim! What do you think a man who finds another man with his
wife should do? Should he kill him and then be killed
himself, or what should .he do? Asim! ask the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, about that for me." Asim asked the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, about it.
The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was
revolted by the questions and reproved them until what he heard from the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. was
intolerable for Asim. When Asim returned to his people, Uwaymir came to
him and said, " Asim! what did the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, say to you?" Asim said to Uwaymir, "You didn't
bring me any good. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, was revolted by the question which I asked him." Uwaymir
said, "By Allah! I will not stop until I ask him about it!" Uwaymir
stood up and went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, in the middle of the people and said, "Messenger of
Allah! What do you think a man who finds another man with his wife
should do? Should he kill him and then be killed
himself, or what should he do?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Something has been sent down about you
and your wife, so go and bring her." Sahl continued, "They mutually
cursed one another in the presence of the Messenger, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, and I was present with the people. When they
finished cursing each other, Uwaymir said, 'I shall have lied about her,
Messenger of Allah, if I keep her,' and pronounced the divorce three
times before the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, ordered him to do it." Malik said that Ibn Shihab said, "That was
how the sunna of a couple mutually cursing each other was established
(lian)."

for it." Malik said, "That is what is done among us." Yahya related to

related to me from Malik from Said ibn Ishaq ibn Kab ibn Ujra from his
paternal aunt, Zaynab bint Kab ibn Ujra that al-Furaya bint Malik ibn
Sinan, the sister of Abu Said al-Khudri, informed her that she went to
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and
asked to be able to return to her people among the Banu Khudra since her
husband had gone out in search of some of his slaves who had run away
and he had caught up with them near al-Qudum, (which is 6 miles from
Madina), and they had killed him.
She said, "I asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, if I could return to my people in the Banu Khudra, as my
husband had not left me in a dwelling which belonged to him, and had
left me no maintenance. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said,'Yes.' So I left. When I was in the courtyard, the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, called me
or summoned me, and I answered him. He said, 'What did you say?' I
repeated the story about my husband. He said, 'Stay in your house until
what is written reaches its term.' I did the idda in the house for four
months and ten days." She added, "When Uthman ibn Affan sent for me, I
told him that, and he followed it and made decisions by it."
(Book #29, Hadith #29.29.87) |
| (57) Malik
related to me that he heard that Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman and
Sulayman ibn Yasar were both asked, "Does one pronounce judgement on the
basis of an oath with one witness?" They both said, "Yes." Malik said,
"The precedent of the sunna in judging by an oath with one witness is
that if the plaintiff takes an oath with his witness, he is confirmed in
his right. If he draws back and refuses to take an oath, the defendant
is made to take an oath. If he takes an oath, the claim against him is
dropped. If he refuses to take an oath, the claim is confirmed against
him." Malik said, "This procedure pertains to property cases in
particular. It does not occur in any of the hadd-punishments, nor in
marriage, divorce, freeing slaves, theft or slander. If some one says,
'Freeing slaves comes under property,' he has erred. It is not as he
said. Had it been as he said, a slave could take an oath with one
witness, if he could find one, that his master had freed him. "However,
when a slave lays claim to a piece of property, he can take an oath with
one witness and demand his right as the freeman demands his right."
Malik said, "The sunna with us is that when a slave brings somebody who
witnesses that he has been set free, his master is made to take an oath
that he has not freed him, and the slave's claim is dropped." Malik
said, "The sunna about divorce is also like that with us. When a woman
brings somebody who witnesses that her husband has divorced her, the
husband is made to take an oath that he has not divorced her. If he
takes the oath, the divorce does not proceed . " Malik said, "There is
only one sunna of bringing a witness in cases of divorce and freeing a
slave. The right to make an oath only belongs to the husband of the
woman, and the master of the slave. Freeing is a hadd matter, and the
testimony of women is not permitted in it because when a slave is freed,
his inviolability is affirmed and the hadd punishments are applied for
and against him. If he commits fornication and he is a muhsan, he is
stoned. If he kills a slave, he is killed
for it. Inheritance is established for him, between him and whoever
inherits from him. If somebody disputes this, arguing that if a man
frees his slave and then a man comes to demand from the master of the
slave payment of a debt, and a man and two women testify to his right,
that establishes the right against the master of the slave so that his
freeing him is cancelled if he only has the slave as property, inferring
by this case that the testimony of women is permitted in cases of
setting free. The case is not as he suggests (i.e. it is a case of
property not freeing). It is like a man who frees his slave, and then
the claimant of a debt comes to the master and takes an oath with one
witness, demanding his right. By that, the freeing of the slave would be
cancelled. Or else a man comes who has frequent dealings and
transactions with the master of the slave. He claims that he is owed
money by the master of the slave. Someone says to the master of the
slave, 'Take an oath that you don't owe what he claims'. If he draws
back and refuses to take an oath, the one making the claim takes an oath
and his right against the master of the slave is confirmed. That would
cancel the freeing of the slave if it is confirmed that property is owed
by the master." Malik said, "It is the same case with a man who marries
a slave-girl and then the master of the slave-girl comes to the man who
has married her and claims, 'You and so-and-so have bought my
slave-girl from me for such an amount of dinars. The husband of the
slave-girl denies that. The master of the slave-girl brings a man and
two women and they testify to what he has said. The sale is confirmed
and his claim is considered true. So the slave-girl is haram for her
husband and they have to separate, even though the testimony of women is
not accepted in divorce." Malik said, "It is also the same case with a
man who accuses a free man, so the hadd falls on him. A man and two
women come and testify that the one accused is a slave. That would
remove the hadd from the accused after it had befallen him, even though
the testimony of women is not accepted in accusations involving hadd
punishments." Malik said, "Another similar case in which judgement
appears to go against the precedent of the sunna is that two women
testify that a child is born alive and so it is necessary for him to
inherit if a situation arises where he is entitled to inherit, and the
child's property goes to those who inherit from him, if he dies, and it
is not necessary that the two women witnesses should be accompanied by a
man or an oath even though it may involve vast properties of gold,
silver, live-stock, gardens and slaves and other properties. However,
had two women testified to one dirham or more or less than that in a
property case, their testimony would not affect anything and would not
be permitted unless there was a witness or an oath with them." Malik
said, "There are people who say that an oath is not acceptable with only
one witness and they argue by the word of Allah the Blessed, the
Exalted, and His word is the Truth, 'And call in to witness two
witnesses, men; or if the two be not men, then one man and two women,
such witnesses as you approve of.' (Sura 2 ayat 282). Such people argue
that if he does not bring one man and two women, he has no claim and he
is not allowed to take an oath with one witness." Malik said, "Part of
the proof against those who argue this, is to reply to them, 'Do you
think that if a man claimed property from a man, the one claimed from
would not swear that the claim was false?' If he swears, the claim
against him is dropped. If he refuses to take an oath, the claimant is
made to take an oath that his claim is true, and his right against his
companion is established. There is no dispute about this with any of the
people nor in any country. By what does he take this? In what place in
the Book of Allah does he find it? So if he confirms this, let him
confirm the oath with one witness, even if it is not in the Book of
Allah, the Mighty, the Majestic! It is enough that this is the precedent
of the sunna. However, man wants to recognise the proper course of
action and the location of the proof. In this there is a clarification
for what is obscure about that, if Allah ta'ala wills."

related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If someone
changes his deen - strike his neck!" The meaning of the statement of the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in our opinion and
Allah knows best, is that "if someone changes his deen, strike his
neck!" refers to those who leave Islam for other than it - like the
heretics and their like, about whom it is known. They are killed
without being called to tawba because their tawba is not recognised.
They were hiding their kufr and publishing their Islam, so I do not
think that one calls such people to tawba, and one does not accept their
word. As for the one who goes out of Islam to something else and
divulges it, one calls him to tawba. If he does not turn in tawba, he is
killed. If there are people in that
situation, I think that one should call them to Islam and call them to
tawba. If they turn in tawba, that is accepted from them. If they do not
turn in tawba, they are killed.
That does not refer as we see it, and Allah knows best, to those who
come out of Judaism to Christianity or from Christianity to Judaism, nor
to someone who changes his deen from the various forms of deen except
for Islam. Whoever comes out of Islam to other than it and divulges
that, that is the one who is referred to, and Allah knows best!

related to me from Yahya ibn Said from Said ibn al-Musayyab that a
Syrian man called Ibn Khaybari found a man with his wife and killed him, or killed
them both. Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan found it difficult to make a decision
and he wrote to Abu Musa al-Ashari to ask Ali ibn Abi Talib for him
about that. So Abu Musa asked Ali ibn Abi Talib and AIi said to him, "Is
this thing in my land? I adjure you, you must tell me." Abu Musa
explained to him how Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan had written him to ask Ali
about it. Ali said, "I am Abu Hasan. If he does not bring four
witnesses, then let him be completely handed over," (to the relatives of
the murdered man).

said that he heard Malik say, "What is done in our community about
injury to a domestic animal, is that the one who injures it must pay the
amount by which he has diminished the animal's price." Yahya said that
he heard Malik speak about a camel who attacked a man and he feared for
himself and killed it or hamstrung
it. He said, "If he has a clear proof that it was heading for him and
had attacked him, there are no damages against him. If there is no clear
proof except his word, he is responsible for the camel."
(Book #36, Hadith #36.29.38a) |
| (61) Malik
related to me from Yahya ibn Said that Abu'd-Darda wrote to Salman
al-Farsi, "Come immediately to the holy land." Salman wrote back to him,
"Land does not make anyone holy. Man's deeds make him holy. I have
heard that you were put up as a doctor to treat and cure people. If you
are innocent, then may you have delight! If you are a quack, then beware
lest you kill a man and enter the
Fire!" When Abu'd-Darda judged between two men, and they turned from him
to go, he would look at them and say, "Come back to me, and tell me
your story again. A quack! By Allah!" Yahya said that he heard Malik
say, "If someone makes use of a slave, without permission of its master,
in anything important to him, whose like has a fee, he is liable for
what befalls the slave if anything befalls him. If the slave is safe and
his master asks for his wage for what he has done, that is the master's
right. This is what is done in our community." Yahya said that he heard
Malik say about a slave who is part free and part enslaved, "His
property is suspended in his hand and he cannot begin anything with it.
He eats from it and clothes himself in an approved fashion. If he dies,
his property belongs to the one to whom he is in slavery." Yahya said
that he heard Malik say, "The way of doing things in our community is
that a parent can take his child to account for what he spends on him
from the day the child has property, cash or goods, if the parent wants
that."
(Book #37, Hadith #37.8.7) |
| (62) Malik
said, The best of what I have heard about a mukatab whose master frees
him at death, is that the mukatab is valued according to what he would
fetch if he were sold. If that value is less than what remains against
him of his kitaba, his freedom is taken from the third that the deceased
can bequeath. One does not look at the number of dirhams which remain
against him in his kitaba. That is because had he been killed, his killer would not be in debt for other than his value on the day he killed
him. Had he been injured, the one who injured him would not be liable
for other than the blood-money of the injury on the day of his injury.
One does not look at how much he has paid of dinars and dirhams of the
contract he has written because he is a slave as long as any of his
kitaba remains. If what remains in his kitaba is less than his value,
only whatever of his kitaba remains owing from him is taken into account
in the third of the property of the deceased. That is because the
deceased left him what remains of his kitaba and so it becomes a bequest
which the deceased made." Malik said, "The illustration of that is that
if the price of the mukatab is one thousand dirhams, and only one
hundred dirhams remain of his kitaba, his master leaves him the one
hundred dirhams which complete it for him. It is taken into account in
the third of his master and by it he becomes free." Malik said that if a
man wrote his slave a kitaba at his death, the value of the slave was
estimated. If there was enough to cover the price of the slave in one
third of his property, that was permitted for him. Malik said, "The
illustration of that is that the price of the slave is one thousand
dinars. His master writes him a kitaba for two hundred dinars at his
death. The third of the property of his master is one thousand dinars,
so that is permitted for him. It is only a bequest which he makes from
one third of his property. If the master has left bequests to people,
and there is no surplus in the third after the value of the mukatab, one
begins with the mukatab because the kitaba is setting free, and setting
free has priority over bequests. When those bequests are paid from the
kitaba of the mukatab, they follow it. The heirs of the testator have a
choice. If they want to give the people with bequests all their bequests
and the kitaba of the mukatab is theirs, they have that. If they refuse
and hand over the mukatab and what he owes to the people with bequests
they can do that, because the third commences with the mukatab and
because all the bequests which he makes are as one." If the heirs then
say, "What our fellow bequeathed was more than one third of his property
and he has taken what was not his," Malik said, "His heirs choose. It
is said to them, 'Your companion has made the bequests you know about
and if you would like to give them to those who are to receive them
according to the deceased's bequests, then do so. If not, hand over to
the people with bequests one third of the total property of the
deceased.' " Malik continued, "If the heirs surrender the mukatab to the
people with bequests, the people with bequests have what he owes of his
kitaba. If the mukatab pays what he owes of his kitaba, they take that
in their bequests according to their shares. If the mukatab cannot pay,
he is a slave of the people with bequests and does not return to the
heirs because they gave him up when they made their choice, and because
when he was surrendered to the people with bequests, they were liable.
If he died, they would not have anything against the heirs. If the
mukatab dies before he pays his kitaba and he leaves property which is
more than what he owes, his property goes to the people with bequests.
If the mukatab pays what he owes, he is free and his wala' returns to
the paternal relations of the one who wrote the kitaba for him." Malik
spoke about a mukatab who owed his master ten thousand dirhams in his
kitaba, and when he died he remitted one thousand dirhams from it. He
said, "The mukatab is valued and his value is taken into consideration.
If his value is one thousand dirhams and the reduction is a tenth of the
kitaba, that portion of the slave's price is one hundred dirhams. It is
a tenth of the price. A tenth of the kitaba is therefore reduced for
him. That is converted to a tenth of the price in cash. That is as if he
had had all of what he owed reduced for him. Had he done that, only the
value of the slave - one thousand dirhams - would have been taken into
account in the third of the property of the deceased. If that which he
had remitted is half of the kitaba, half the price is taken into account
in the third of the property of the deceased. If it is more or less
than that, it is according to this reckoning." Malik said, "When a man
reduces the kitaba of his mukatab by one thousand dirhams at his death
from a kitaba of ten thousand dirhams, and he does not stipulate whether
it is from the beginning or the end of his kitaba, each instalment is
reduced for him by one tenth." Malik said, "If a man remits one thousand
dirhams from his mukatab at his death from the beginning or end of his
kitaba, and the original basis of the kitaba is three thousand dirhams,
the mukatab's cash value is estimated. Then that value is divided. That
thousand which is from the beginning of the kitaba is converted into its
portion of the price according to its proximity to the term and its
precedence and then the thousand which follows the first thousand is
according to its precedence also until it comes to its end, and every
thousand is paid according to its place in advancing and deferring the
term because what is deferred of that is less in respect of its price.
Then it is placed in the third of the deceased according to whatever of
the price befalls that thousand according to the difference in
preference of that, whether it is more or less, then it is according to
this reckoning." Malik spoke about a man who willed a man a fourth of a
mukatab or freed a fourth, and then the man died and the mukatab died
and left a lot of property, more than he owed. He said, "The heirs of
the first master and the one who was willed a fourth of the mukatab are
given what they are still owed by the mukatab. Then they divide what is
left over, and the one willed a fourth has a third of what is left after
the kitaba is paid. The heirs of his master gets two-thirds. That is
because the mukatab is a slave as long as any of his kitaba remains to
be paid. He is inherited from by the possession of his person." Malik
said about a mukatab whose master freed him at death, "If the third of
the deceased will not cover him, he is freed from it according to what
the third will cover and his kitaba is decreased according to that. If
the mukatab owed five thousand dirhams and his value is two thousand
dirhams cash, and the third of the deceased is one thousand dirhams,
half of him is freed and half of the kitaba has been reduced for him."
Malik said about a man who said in his will, "My slave so-and-so is free
and write a kitaba for so-and-so", that the setting free had priority
over the kitaba. (Book #39, Hadith #39.12.15) |
| (63) Yahya
related to me from Malik that Abu'z-Zinad informed him that a governor
of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz took some people in battle and had not killed any of them. He wanted to cut off their hands or kill
them, so he wrote to Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz about that Umar ibn Abd
al-Aziz wrote to him, "Better to take less than that." Yahya said that
he heard Malik say, "What is done among us about a person who steals the
goods of people which are placed under guard in the markets, and their
owners put them in their containers and store them together is that if
anyone steals any of that from where it is kept, and its value reaches
that for which cutting off the hand is obliged, his hand must be cut
off, whether or not the owner of the goods is with his goods and whether
it is night or day." Malik said about some one who stole something for
which cutting off the hand was obliged and then what he stole was found
with him and he returned it to its owner, "His hand is cut off." Malik
said, "If someon says, 'How can his hand be cut off when the goods have
been taken from him and returned to their owner?', it is because he is
in the same position as the wine drinker when the smell of the wine is
found on his breath and he is not drunk. He is flogged with the hadd.
"The hadd is imposed for drinking wine even if it does not make the man
intoxicated. That is because he drank it to become intoxicated. It is
the same as that with cutting off the hand of the thief for theft when
it is taken from him, even if he has not profited from it and it was
returned to its owner. When he stole it, he stole it to take it away."
Malik said that if some people came to a house and robbed it together,
and then they left with a sack or box or a board or basket or the like
of that which they carried together, and when they took it out of its
guarded place, they carried it together, and the price of what they took
reached that for which cutting off the hand was obliged, and that was
three dirhams and upwards, each of them had his hand cut off. "If each
of them takes out something by himself, whoever of them takes out
something whose value reaches three dirhams and upwards must have his
hand cut off. If any of them takes out something whose value does not
reach three dirhams, he does not have his hand cut off." Yahya said that
Malik said, "What is done among us is that when a man's house is locked
and he is the only one living in it, cutting off the hand is not
obliged against the one who steals something from it until he takes it
out of the house completely. That is because all of the house is a place
of custody. If someone other than him lives in the house and each of
them locks his door, and it is a place of custody for each of them,
whoever steals anything from the apartments of that house must have his
hand cut off when he leaves the apartment and goes into the main house.
He has removed it from its place of custody to another place and he must
have his hand cut off." Malik said, "What is done in our community
about a slave who steals from the property of his master is that if he
is not in service and among those trusted in the house and he enters
secretly and steals from his master something that for which cutting off
the hand is obliged, his hand is not cut off. It is like that with a
slave-girl when she steals from her master's property. Her hand is not
cut off." Malik then spoke about a slave who was not in service and not
one of those trusted in the house, and he entered secretly and stole
from the property of his master's wife that for which cutting off the
hand was obliged. He said, "His hand is cut off." "It is like that with
the wife's slave-girl when she does not serve her or her husband nor is
she trusted in the house and she enters secretly and steals from her
mistress's property that for which cutting off the hand is obliged. Her
hand is not cut off." "It is like that with the wife's slave-girl who is
not in her service and is not trusted in the house and she enters
secretly and steals from the property of her mistress's husband
something for which cutting off the hand is obliged. Her hand is cut
off." It is like that with the man who steals from his wife's goods or
the wife who steals from her husband's goods something for which cutting
off the hand is obliged. If the thing which one of them steals from his
spouse's property is in a room other than the room which they both lock
for themselves, or it is in a place of custody in a room other than the
room which they are in, whichever of them steals something for which
cutting off the hand is obliged, their hand should be cut off." Malik
spoke about a small child and a foreigner who does not speak clearly. He
said, "If they are robbed of something from its place of custody or
from under a lock, the one who stole it has his hand cut off. If the
property is outside of its place of custody or locked room(when it is
stolen), the one who robbed them does not have his hand cut off. It is
then in the position of sheep stolen from the mountain and uncut fruit
hanging on the trees " Malik said, "What is done among us about a person
who robs graves is that if what he takes from the grave reaches what
cutting off the hand is obliged for, his hand is cut off . That is
because the grave is a place of custody for what is in it just as houses
are a place of custody for what is in them. " Malik added, "Cutting off
the hand is not obliged for him until he takes it out of the grave."

related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Marwan ibn al-Hakam
wrote to Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan that a madman was brought to him who had
killed a man. Muawiya wrote to him,
"Tie him up and do not inflict any retaliation on him. There is no
retaliation against a madman." Malik said about an adult and a child
when they murder a man together, "The adult is killed
and the child pays half the full blood-money." Malik said, "It is like
that with a freeman and a slave when they murder a slave. The slave is killed and the freeman pays half of his value."

related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Irak ibn Malik and
Sulayman ibn Yasar that a man of the Banu Sad ibn Layth was running a
horse and it trod on the finger of a man from the Juhayna tribe. It bled
profusely, and he died. Umar ibn al-Khattab said to those against whom
the claim was made. "Do you swear by Allah with fifty oaths that he did
not die of it?" They refused and stopped themselves from doing it. He
said to the others, "Will you take an oath?" They refused, so Umar ibn
al-Khattab gave a judgement that the Banu Sad had to pay half the full
blood-money. Malik said, "One does not act on this." Yahya related to me
from Malik that Ibn Shihab, Sulayman ibn Yasar, and Rabia ibn Abi Abd
ar-Rahman said, "The blood-money of manslaughter is twenty yearlings,
twenty two-year-olds, twenty male two-year-olds, twenty four-year-olds,
and twenty five-year-olds." Malik said, "The generally agreed on way
with us is that there is no retaliation against children. Their
intention is accidental. The hudud are not obliged for them if they have
not yet reached puberty. If a child kills someone it is only accidentally. Had a child and an adult killed a free man accidentally, each of them pays half the full blood-money." Malik said, "A person who kills
someone accidentally pays blood-money with his property and there is no
retaliation against him. That money is like anything else from the dead
man's property and his debt is paid with it and he is allowed to make a
bequest from it. If he has a total property of which the blood-money is
a third and then the blood-money is relinquished, that is permitted to
him. If all the property he has is his blood-money, he is permitted to
relinquish a third of it and to make that a bequest."

| (66) Yahya
related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Said ibn al-Musayyab that
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave a
judgement that the compensation for a foetus killed
in its mother's womb was a slave or slave-girl of fair complexion and
excellence. The one against whom the judgement was given said, "Why
should I pay damages for that which did not drink or eat or speak or
make any cry. The like of that is nothing." The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "This is only one of the
brothers of the diviners." He disapproved of the rhyming speech of the
man's declaration. Yahya related to me from Malik that Rabia ibn Abi Abd
ar-Rahman said, "The slave of fair complexion and excellence is
estimated at fifty dinars or six hundred dirhams. The blood-money of a
free muslim woman is five hundred dinars or six thousand dirhams." Malik
said, "The blood-money of the foetus of a free woman is a tenth of her
blood-money. The tenth is fifty dinars or six hundred dirhams." Malik
said, "I have not heard anyone dispute that there is no slave in
compensation for the foetus until it leaves its mother's womb and falls
still-born from her womb . " Malik said, "I heard that if the foetus
comes out of its mother's womb alive and then dies, the full blood-money
is due for it." Malik said, "The foetus is not alive unless it cries at
birth. If it comes out of its mother's womb and cries out and then
dies, the complete blood-money is due for it. We think that the
slave-girl's foetus has a tenth of the price of the slave-girl." Malik
said, "When a woman murders a man or woman, and the murderess is
pregnant, retaliation is not taken against her until she has given
birth. If a woman who is pregnant is killed intentionally or unintentionally, the one who killed her is not obliged to pay anything for her foetus. If she is murdered, then the one who killed her is killed and there is no blood-money for her foetus. If she is killed accidentally, the tribe obliged to pay on behalf of her killer
pays her blood-money, and there is no blood-money for the foetus."
Yahya related to me, "Malik was asked about the foetus of the christian
or jewish woman which was aborted. He said, 'I think that there is a
tenth of the blood-money of the mother for it.' "
(Book #43, Hadith #43.7.6) |
| (67) Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard that Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz gave a decision that when a jew or christian was killed,
his blood-money was half the blood-money of a free muslim. Malik said,
"What is done in our community, is that a muslim is not killed for a kafir unless the muslim kills him by deceit. Then he is killed
for it." Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that
Sulayman ibn Yasar said, "The blood-money of a magian is eight hundred
dirhams." Malik said, "This is what is done in our community." Malik
said, "The blood-monies of the jew, christian, and magian in their
injuries, is according to the injury of the muslims in their
blood-moneys. The head wound is a twentieth of his full blood-money. The
wound that opens the head is a third of his blood-money. The
belly-wound is a third of his blood-money. All their injuries are
according to this calculation."
(Book #43, Hadith #43.15.8b) |
| (68) Yahya
related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his father said,
"The tribe is not obliged to pay blood-money for intentional murder.
They pay blood-money for accidental killing."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Ibn Shihab said, "The precedent of
the sunna is that the tribe are not liable for any blood-money of an
intentional killing unless they wish
that." Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said the same as
that. Malik said that Ibn Shihab said, "The precedent of the sunna in
the intentional murder is that when the relatives of the murdered person
relinquish retaliation, the blood-money is owed by the murderer from
his own property unless the tribe helps him with it willingly." Malik
said, "What is done in our community is that the blood-money is not
obliged against the tribe until it has reached a third of the full
amount and upwards. Whatever reaches a third is against the tribe, and
whatever is below a third, is against the property of the one who did
the injury." Malik said, "The way of doing things about which there is
no dispute among us, in the case of someone who has the blood-money
accepted from him in intentional murder or in any injury in which there
is retaliation, is that that blood-money is not due from the tribe
unless they wish it. The blood-money for that is from the property of
the murderer or the injurer if he has property. If he does not have any
property, it is a debt against him, and none of it is owed by the tribe
unless they wish." Malik said, "The tribe does not pay blood-money to
anyone who injures himself, intentionally or accidentally. This is the
opinion of the people of fiqh in our community. I have not heard that
anyone has made the tribe liable for any blood-money incurred by
intentional acts. Part of what is well-known of that is that Allah, the
Blessed, and the Exalted, said in His Book, 'Whoever has something
pardoned him by his brother, should follow it with what is accepted and
pay it with good will' (Sura 2 ayat 178) The commentary on that - in our
view - and Allah knows best, is that whoever gives his brother
something of the blood-money, should follow it with what is accepted and
pay him with good will." Malik spoke about a child who had no property
and a woman who had no property. He said, "When one of them causes an
injury below a third of the blood-money, it is taken on behalf of the
child and woman from their personal property, if they have property from
which it may be taken. If not, the injury which each of them has caused
is a debt against them. The tribe does not have to pay any of it and
the father of a child is not liable for the blood-money of an injury
caused by the child and he is not responsible for it." Malik said, "The
way of doing things in our community about which there is no dispute, is
that when a slave is killed, the value for him is that of the day on which he was killed.
The tribe of the murderer is not liable for any of the value of the
slave, great or small. That is the responsibility of the one who struck
him from his own personal property as far as it covers. If the value of
the slave is the blood-money or more, that is against him in his
property. That is because the slave is a certain type of goods."

related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Umar ibn al-Khattab
demanded of the people at Mina, "If anyone has knowledge of blood-money,
let him inform me." Ad-Dahhak ibn Sufyan al-Kilabi stood up and said,
"The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, wrote
to me that the wife of Ashyam ad-Dibabi inherited from the blood-money
of her husband." Umar ibn al-Khattab said to him, "Go into the tent
until I come to you." When Umar ibn al-Khattab came in, ad-Dahhak told
him about it and Umar ibn al-Khattab gave a decision based on that. Ibn
Shihab said, "The killing of Ashyam was accidental."

related to me from Yahya ibn Said from Amr ibn Shuayb that a man of the
Banu Mudlij called Qatada threw a sword at his son and it struck his
thigh. The wound bled profusely and he died. Suraqa ibn Jusham came to
Umar ibn al-Khattab and mentioned that to him Umar said to him, "At the
watering place of Qudayd count one hundred and twenty camels and wait
until I come to you." When Umar ibn al-Khattab came to him, he took
thirty four-year-old camels, thirty five-year-old camels, and forty
pregnant camels from them. Then he said, "Where is the brother of the
slain man?" He said, "Here." He said, "Take them. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'The killer
gets nothing.' " Malik said that he had heard that Said ibn al-Musayyab
and Sulayman ibn Yasar were asked, "Does one deal more harshly in
taking the blood-money in the sacred month?" They said, "No. But it is
increased in it because of violating the month." It was said to Said,
"Does one increase for the wound as one increases for the life?" He
said, "Yes." Malik added, "I think that they meant the same as what Umar
ibn al-Khattab did with respect to the blood-money of the Mudliji when
he struck his son." (i.e. giving 120 camels instead of 100).

Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said from Urwa ibn az-Zubayr that a
man of the Ansar called Uhayha ibn al-Julah had a young paternal uncle
who was younger than him and who was living with his maternal uncles.
Uhayha took him and killed him. His
maternal uncles said, "We brought him up from a baby to a youth till he
stood firm on his feet, and we have had the right of a man taken from us
by his paternal uncle." Urwa said, "For that reason a killer does not inherit from the one he killed."
Malik said, "The way of doing things about which there is no dispute is
that the intentional murderer does not inherit anything of the
blood-money of the person he has murdered or any of his property. He
does not stop anyone who has a share of inheritance from inheriting. The
one who kills accidentally does not
inherit anything of the blood-money and there is dispute as to whether
or not he inherits from the dead person's property because there is no
suspicion that he killed him for his
inheritance and in order to take his property. I prefer that he inherit
from the dead person's property and not inherit from the blood-money."

related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Said ibn al-Musayyab and
Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The wound of an
animal is of no account and no compensation is due for it. The well is
of no account and no compensation is due for it. The mine is of no
account and no compensation is due for it and a fifth is due for buried
treasures." (Al-kanz: see Book 17). Malik said, "Everyone leading an
animal by the halter, driving it, and riding it is responsible for what
the animal strikes unless the animal kicks out without anything being
done to it to make it kick out. Umar ibn al-Khattab imposed the
blood-money on a person who was exercising his horse." Malik said, "It
is more fitting that a person leading an animal by the halter, driving
it, or riding it incur a loss than a person who is exercising his
horse." (See hadith 4 of this book). Malik said, "What is done in our
community about a person who digs a well on a road or ties up an animal
or does the like of that on a road used by muslims, is that since what
he has done is included in that which he is not permitted to do in such a
place, he is liable for whatever injury or other thing arises from that
action. The blood-money of that which is less than a third of the full
blood-money is owed from his own personal property. Whatever reaches a
third or more, is owed by his tribe. Any such things that he does which
he is permitted to do on the muslims' road are something for which he
has no liability or loss. Part of that is a hole which a man digs to
collect rain, and the beast from which the man alights for some need and
leaves standing on the road. There is no penalty against anyone for
this." Malik spoke about a man who went down a well, and another man
followed behind him, and the lower one pulled the higher one and they
fell into the well and both died He said, "The tribe of the one who
pulled him in is responsible for the blood-money." Malik spoke about a
child whom a man ordered to go down into a well or to climb a palm tree
and he died as a result. He said, "The one who ordered him is liable for
whatever befalls him, be it death or something else." Malik said, "The
way of doing things in our community about which there is no dispute is
that women and children are not obliged to pay blood-money together with
the tribe in the blood-moneys which the tribe must pay. The blood-money
is only obligatory for a man who has reached puberty." Malik said that
the tribe could bind themselves to the blood-money of mawali if they
wished. If they refused, they were people of the diwan or were cut off
from their people. In the time of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, people paid the blood-money to each other
as well as in the time of Abu Bakr as-Siddiq before there was a diwan.
The diwan was in the time of Umar ibn al-Khattab. No one other than
one's people and the ones holding the wala' paid blood-money for one
because the wala' was not transferable and because the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The wala' belongs to the one
who sets free." Malik said, "The wala' is an established relationship."
Malik said, "What is done in our community about animals that are
injured is that the person who causes the injury pays whatever of their
value has been diminished." Malik said about a man condemned to death
and one of the other hudud befell him, "He is not punished for it. That
is because the killing overrides all
of that, except for slander. The slander remains hanging over the one
to whom it was said because it will be said to him, 'Why do you not flog
the one who slandered you?' I think that the condemned man is flogged
with the hadd before he is killed, and then he is killed. I do not think that any retaliation is inflicted on him for any injury except killing because killing
overrides all of that." Malik said, "What is done in our community is
that when a murdered person is found among the main body of a people in a
village or other place, the house or place of the nearest people to him
is not responsible. That is because the murdered person can be slain
and then cast at the door of some people to shame them by it. No one is
responsible for the like of that." Malik said about a group of people
who fight with each other and when the fight is broken up, a man is
found dead or wounded, and it is not known who did it, "The best of what
is heard about that is that there is blood-money for him, and the
blood-money is against the people who argued with him. If the injured or
slain person is not from either of the two parties, his blood-money is
against both of the two parties together."
(Book #43, Hadith #43.18.12) |
| (73) Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Said ibn al-Musayyab that Umar ibn al-Khattab killed five or seven people for one man whom they had killed secretly by trickery. Umar said, "Had all the people of Sana joined forces against him, I would have killed them all."

related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Sad ibn
Zurara that he had heard that Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, killed one of her slave-girls who had used sorcery against her. She was a mudabbara. Hafsa gave the order, and she was killed.
Malik said, "The sorcerer is the one who uses sorcery for himself and
no one else uses that for him. It is like the one about whom Allah, the
Blessed, the Exalted, said in His Book, 'They know the one who devotes
himself to it will have no share in the Next World.' (Sura 2 ayat 102) I
think that that person is killed if he does that himself."
(Book #43, Hadith #43.19.14) |
| (75) Yahya
related to me from Malik from Umar ibn Husayn, the mawla of A'isha bint
Qudama, that Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan imposed retaliation against a man
who killed a mawla with a stick and so the mawla's patron killed
the man with a stick. Malik said, "The generally agreed on way of doing
things in our community about which there is no dispute is that when a
man strikes another man with a stick or hits him with a rock or
intentionally strikes him causing his death, that is an intentional
injury and there is retaliation for it." Malik said, "Intentional murder
with us is that a man intentionally goes to a man and strikes him until
his life goes. Part of intentional injury also is that a man strikes a
man in a quarrel between them. He leaves him while he is alive, and he
bleeds to death and so dies. There is retaliation for that." Malik said,
"What is done in our community is that a group of free men are killed for the intentional murder of one free man, and a group of women for one woman, and a group of slaves for one slave."
(Book #43, Hadith #43.20.15) |
| (76) Yahya
related to me from Malik that he had heard that Marwan ibn al-Hakam
wrote to Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan to mention to him that a drunkard was
brought to him who had killed a man. Muawiya wrote to him to kill
him in retaliation for the dead man. Yahya said that Malik said, "The
best of what I have heard on the interpretation of this ayat, the word
of Allah, the Blessed, the Exalted, 'The free man for the free man and
the slave for the slave - these are men and the woman for the woman,'
(Sura 2 ayat 178) is that retaliation is between women as it is between
men. The free woman is killed for the free woman as the free man is killed
for the free man. The slave-girl is slain for the slave-girl as the
slave is slain for the slave. Retaliation is between women as it is
between men. That is because Allah, the Blessed, the Exalted, said in
His Book, 'We have written for them in it that it is a life for a life
and an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, and an ear for an ear, and a
tooth for a tooth, and for wounds there is retaliation.' (Sura 5 ayat
48) Allah, the Blessed, the Exalted, mentioned that it is a life for a
life. It is the life of a free woman for the life of a free man, and her
injury for his injury." Malik said about a man who held a man fast for
another man to hit, and he died on the spot, "If he held him and he
thought that he meant to kill him, the two of them are both killed
for him. If he held him and he thought that he meant to beat him as
people sometimes do, and he did not think that he meant to kill
him, the murderer is slain and the one who held him is punished with a
very severe punishment and jailed for a year. There is no killing
against him." Malik said about a man who murdered a man intentionally
or gouged out his eye intentionally, and then was slain or had his eye
gouged out himself before retaliation was inflicted on him, "There is no
blood-money nor retaliation against him. The right of the one who was killed
or had his eye gouged out goes when the thing which he is claiming as
retaliation goes. It is the same with a man who murders another man
intentionally and then the murderer dies. When the murderer dies, the
one seeking blood-revenge has nothing of blood-money or anything else.
That is by the word of Allah, the Blessed the Exalted, 'Retaliation is
written for you in killing. The free man for the free man and the slave for the slave.' " Malik said, "He only has retaliation against the one who killed
him. If the man who murdered him dies, he has no retaliation or
blood-money." Malik said, "There is no retaliation held against a free
man by a slave for any injury. The slave is killed
for the free man when he intentionally murders him. The free man is not
slain for the slave, even if he murders him intentionally. It is the
best of what I have heard."
(Book #43, Hadith #43.21.15a) |
| (77) Yahya
related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from Sulayman ibn Yasar that a
slave was set free by one of the people on hajj and his master had
abandoned the right to inherit from him. The ex-slave then killed
a man from the Banu A'idh tribe. An A'idhi, the father of the slain man
came to Umar ibn al-Khattab seeking the blood-money of his son. Umar
said, "He has no blood-money." The A'idhi said, "What would you think if
it had been my son who killed him?"
Umar said, "Then you would pay his blood-money." He said, "He is then
like the black and white Arqam snake. If it is left, it devours and if
it is killed, it takes revenge." (Book #43, Hadith #43.24.15d) |
| (78) Yahya
related to me from Malik from Abu Layla ibn Abdullah ibn Abd ar-Rahman
ibn Sahl from Sahl ibn Abi Hathma that some of the great men of his
people informed him that Abdullah ibn Sahl and Muhayyisa went out to
Khaybar because extreme poverty had overtaken them. Muhayyisa returned
and said that Abdullah ibn Sahl had been killed and thrown in a shallow well or spring. The jews came and he said, "By Allah! You have killed him." They said, "By Allah! We have not killed
him!" Then he made for his people and mentioned that to them. Then he,
his brother Huwayyisa, who was older than him, and Abd ar-Rahman, set
out. Muhayyisa began to speak, as he had been at Khaybar. The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to him, "The
greater first, the greater first," meaning in age. So Huwayyisa spoke
and then Muhayyisa spoke. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Either they pay your companion's blood-money
or we will declare war against them." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, wrote that to them and they wrote, "By
Allah, we did not kill him!" The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to
Huwayyisa, Muhayyisa, and Abd ar-Rahman, "Do you swear and claim the
blood of your companion?" They said, "No." He said, "Shall the jews
swear to you?" They said, "But they are not muslims." The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave blood-money from
his own property, and sent them one hundred camels to their house. Sahl
added, "A red camel among them kicked me."
(Book #44, Hadith #44.1.1) |
| (79) Yahya
said from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Bushayr ibn Yasar informed him
that Abdullah ibn Sahl al-Ansari and Muhayyisa ibn Masud went out to
Khaybar, and they separated on their various businesses and Abdullah ibn
Sahl was killed. Muhayyisa, and his
brother Huwayyisa and Abd ar-Rahman ibn Sahl went to the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, and Abd ar-Rahman began to speak
before his brother. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "The older first, the older first. Therefore
Huwayyisa and then Muhayyisa spoke and mentioned the affair of Abdullah
ibn Sahl. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said to them, "Do you swear with fifty oaths and claim the
blood-money of your companion or the life of the murderer?" They said,
"Messenger of Allah, we did not see it and we were not present." The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Will
you acquit the jews for fifty oaths?' They said, "Messenger of Allah,
how can we accept the oaths of a people who are kafirun?" Yahya ibn Said
said, "Bushayr ibn Yasar claimed that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, paid the blood-money from his own
property." Malik said, "The generally agreed on way of doing things in
our community and that which I heard from whoever I am content with,
concerning the oath of qasama, and upon which the past and present imams
agree, is that those who claim revenge begin with the oaths and swear.
The oath for revenge is only obligatory in two situations. Either the
slain person says, 'My blood is against so-and-so,' or the relatives
entitled to the blood bring a partial proof of it that is not
irrefutable against the one who is the object of the blood-claim. This
obliges taking an oath on the part of those who claim the blood against
those who are the object of the blood-claim. With us, swearing is only
obliged in these two situations." Malik said, "That is the sunna in
which there is no dispute with us and which is still the behaviour of
the people. The people who claim blood begin the swearings, whether it
is an intentional killing or an
accident." Malik said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, began with Banu Harith in the case of the killing
of their kinsman murdered at Khaybar." Malik said, "If those who make
the claim swear, they deserve the blood of their kinsman and whoever
they swear against is slain. Only one man can be killed in the qasama. Two cannot be killed
in it. Fifty men from the blood-relatives must swear fifty oaths. If
their number is less or some of them draw back, they can repeat their
oaths, unless one of the relatives of the murdered man who deserves
blood and who is permitted to pardon it, draws back. If one of these
draws back, there is no way to revenge." Yahya said that Malik said,
"The oaths can be made by those of them who remain if one of them draws
back who is not permitted to pardon. If one of the blood-relatives draws
back who is permitted to pardon, even if he is only one, more oaths can
not be made after that by the blood-relatives. If that occurs, the
oaths can be on behalf of the one against whom the claim is made. So
fifty of the men of his people swear fifty oaths. If there are not fifty
men, more oaths can be made by those of them who already swore. If
there is only the defendant, he swears fifty oaths and is acquitted."
Yahya said that Malik said, "One distinguishes between swearing for
blood and oaths for one's rights. When a man has a money-claim against
another man, he seeks to verify his due. When a man wants to kill another man, he does not kill
him in the midst of people. He keeps to a place away from people. Had
there only been swearing in cases where there is a clear proof and had
one acted in it as one acts about one's rights (i.e. needing witnesses),
the right of blood retribution would have been lost and people would
have been swift to take advantage of it when they learned of the
decision on it. However, the relatives of the murdered man were allowed
to initiate swearing so that people might restrain themselves from blood
and the murderer might beware lest he was put into a situation like
that (i.e. qasama) by the statement of the murdered man.' " Yahya said,
"Malik said about a people of whom a certain number are suspected of
murder and the relatives of the murdered man ask them to take oaths and
they are numerous, so they ask that each man swears fifty oaths on his
own behalf. The oaths are not divided out between them according to
their number and they are not acquitted unless each man among them
swears fifty oaths on his own behalf." Malik said, "This is the best I
have heard about the matter." He said, "Swearing goes to the paternal
relatives of the slain. They are the blood-relatives who swear against
the killer and by whose swearing he is killed."
(Book #44, Hadith #44.1.2) |
| (80) Yahya
said that Malik said, "The way of doing things in our community about
which there is no dispute is that women do not swear in the swearing for
the intentional act. If the murdered man only has female relatives, the
women have no right to swear for blood and no pardon in murder." Yahya
said that Malik said about a man who is murdered, "If the paternal
relatives of the murdered man or his mawali say, 'We swear and we demand
our companion's blood,' that is their right." Malik said, "If the women
want to pardon him, they cannot do that. The paternal relatives and
mawali are entitled to do that more than them because they are the ones
who demand blood and swear for it." Malik said, "If the paternal
relatives or mawali pardon after they demand blood and the women refuse
and say, 'We will not abandon our right against the murderer of our
companion,' the women are more entitled to that because whoever takes
retaliation is more entitled than the one who leaves it among the women
and paternal relatives when the murder is established and killing
obliged." Malik said, "At least two claimants must swear in murder. The
oaths are repeated by them until they swear fifty oaths, then they have
the right to blood. That is how things are done in our community."
Malik said, "When people beat a man and he dies in their hands, they are
all slain for him. If he dies after their beating, there is swearing.
If there is swearing, it is only against one man and only he is slain.
We have never known the swearing to be against more than one man." Malik
spoke about a slave who had his hand or foot broken and then the break
mended . He said, "The one who injured him is not obliged to pay
anything. If that break causes him loss or scar, the one who injured him
must pay according to what he diminished of the value of the slave."
Malik said, "What is done in our community about retaliation between
slaves is that it is like retaliation between freemen. The life of the
slave-girl for the life of the slave, and her injury for his injury.
When a slave intentionally kills a slave, the master of the murdered slave has a choice. If he wishes, he kills
him, and if he wishes, he takes the blood-money. If he takes the
blood-money, he takes the value of his slave. If the owner of the slave
who killed wishes to give the value
of the murdered slave, he does it. If he wishes, he surrenders his
slave. If he surrenders him, he is not obliged to do anything other than
that. When the owner of the murdered slave takes the slave who murdered
and is satisifed with him, he must not kill
him. All retaliations between slaves for cutting off of the hand and
foot and such things are dealt with in the same way as in the murder."
Malik said about a muslim slave who injures a jew or christian, "If the
master of the slave wishes to pay blood-money for him according to the
injury, he does it. Or else he surrenders him and he is sold, and the
jew or christian is given the blood-money of the injury or all the price
of the slave if the blood-money is greater than his price. The jew or
christian is not given a muslim slave."
(Book #44, Hadith #44.2.2a) |
| (81) Yahya
said that Malik said, "The way of doing things in our community about
Yahya said that Malik said, "The procedure in swearing in manslaughter
is that those who claim blood swear and it becomes due by their
swearing. They swear fifty oaths, and there is blood-money for them
according to the division of their inheritances. If it is not possible
to divide up the oaths which they swear between them evenly, one looks
to the one who has most of those oaths against him, and that oath is
obliged against him." Malik said, "If the slain man only has female
heirs, they swear and take the blood-money. If he only has one male
heir, he swears fifty oaths and takes the blood-money. That is only in
the accidental killing, not in the intentional one."
(Book #44, Hadith #44.3.2b) |
| (82) Yahya
said that Malik said, "When the relatives of the deceased accept the
blood-money then it is inherited according to the Book of Allah.
Daughters of the dead man inherit and so do sisters, and whichever women
would inherit from him ordinarily. If the women do not take all his
inheritance, then what remains goes to the agnatic relations who most
deserve to inherit from him in conjunction with the women." Malik said,
"When one of the heirs of a man killed
by mistake attempts to take his due from the blood-money while his
companions are absent, he may not do that, and he has no right to any of
the blood-money, however large or small, unless the qasama has been
completed by him. If he swears fifty oaths then he has the right to his
portion of the blood-money. That is because the blood-money is not
established as due without there being fifty oaths, and the blood-money
is not established as due unless the responsibility for the blood is
established. If any one of the heirs comes after that he swears a number
of the oaths commensurate with his fraction of the inheritance and
takes his right until all the heirs exact their complete right. If a
maternal uncle comes he has one sixth and must swear one sixth of the
fifty oaths. So whoever swears may take his due from the blood-money and
whoever abstains annuls his right. If one of the heirs is absent or is a
child who has not reached puberty, those who are present swear fifty
oaths and if the one who was absent comes after that or the child
reaches puberty, they swear. and they swear according to their due of
the blood-money and according to their shares of inheritance from it."
Yahya said that Malik said, "This is the best I have heard on the
matter."
(Book #44, Hadith #44.4.2c) |
| (83) Yahya
said that Malik said, "What is done in our community about slaves is
that when a slave is struck intentionally or accidentally and the master
brings a witness, he swears with his witness one oath and then he has
the value of the slave. There is no swearing for revenge in slaves,
accidentally or intentionally, and I have not heard any of the people of
knowledge say that there was." Malik said, "If a slave is killed
intentionally or accidentally, the master of the slave who is slain has
no swearing or oath. The master cannot demand his right except with a
fair proof or a witness if he swears with one witness." Yahya said that
Malik said, "This is the best of what I have heard on the matter.'' (Book #44, Hadith #44.5.2d) |

related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that Jabir ibn Abdullah
al-Ansari said, "We went out with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, in the raid on the Banu Ammar tribe."
Jabir said, "I was resting under a tree when the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, came. I said, 'Messenger of Allah;
come to the shade.' So the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, sat down, and I stood up and went to a sack of ours. I
looked in it for something and found a small cucumber and broke it. Then
I brought it to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace. He said, 'From where did you get this?' I said, 'We brought
it from Madina, Messenger of Allah.' " Jabir continued, "We had a friend
of ours with us whom we used to equip to go out to guard our mounts. I
gave him what was necessary and then he turned about to go to the mounts
and he was wearing two threadbare cloaks of his. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, looked at him and said,
'Does he have two garments other than these?' I said, 'Yes, Messenger of
Allah. He has two garments in the bag.' I gave them to him. He said,
'Let him go and put them on.' I let him go to put them on. As he turned
to go, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
exclaimed, 'May Allah strike his neck. Isn't that better for him?' He
said (taking him literally), 'Messenger of Allah, in the way of Allah.'
The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
'In the way of Allah.' " Jabir added, "The man was killed in the way of Allah."

al-Kharrar. He removed the jubbah he had on while Amir ibn Rabia was
watching, and Sahl was a man with beautiful white skin. Amir said to
him, 'I have never seen anything like what I have seen today, not even
the skin of a virgin.' Sahl fell ill on the spot, and his condition grew
worse. Somebody went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, and told him that Sahl was ill, and could not go with
him. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
came to him, and Sahl told him what had happened with Amir. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Why
does one of you kill his brother?
Why did you not say, "May Allah bless you?" (ta baraka-llah) The evil
eye is true. Do wudu from it.' Amir did wudu from it and Sahl went with
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and
there was nothing wrong with him."

has never been out of doors.' Sahl fell to the ground. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was approached and it
was said, 'Messenger of Allah, can you do anything about Sahl ibn

anyone of it?' They said, 'We suspect Amir ibn Rabia.' " He continued,
"The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
summoned Amir and was furious with him and said, 'Why does one of you kill
his brother? Why did you not say, "May Allah bless you?" Do ghusl for
it.' Amir washed his face, hands, elbows, knees, the end of his feet,
and inside his lower garment in a vessel. Then he poured it over him,
and Sahl went off with the people, and there was nothing wrong with
him."

related to me from Safiyy, the mawla of Ibn Aflah that Abu's-Saib, the
mawla of Hisham ibn Zuhra said, "I went to Abu Said al-Khudri and found
him praying. I sat to wait for him until he finished the prayer. I heard
a movement under a bed in his room, and it was a snake. I stood up to kill
it, and Abu Said gestured to me to sit. When he was finished he pointed
to a room in the house and said, 'Do you see this room?' I said, 'Yes.'
He said, 'There was a young boy in it who had just got married. He went
out with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, to al-Khandaq, (the ditch which the muslims dug in the 5th year
of the Hijra to defend Madina against the Quraysh and their allies).
When he was there, the youth came and asked his permission, saying,
"Messenger of Allah. Give me permission to return to my family." The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave him
permission and said, "Take your weapons with you, for I fear the Banu
Quraydha tribe. They may harm you." The youth went to his family and
found his wife standing between the two doors. He lifted his spear to
stab her as jealousy had been aroused in him. She said, "Don't be hasty
until you go in and see what is in your house." He entered and found a
snake coiled up on his bed. He transfixed it with his spear and then
went out with it and pitched it into the house. The snake stirred on the
end of the spear and the youth fell dead. No one knew which of them
died first, the snake or the youth. That was mentioned to the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he said, "There
are jinn in Madina who have become muslim. When you see one of them,
call out to it for three days. If it appears after that, then kill it, for it is a shaytan." "'

related to me from his paternal uncle, Abu Suhayl ibn Malik, that his
father heard Uthman ibn Affan say in a khutba, "Do not oblige the
slave-girl to earn money unless she has a skill.
When you oblige her to do that, she will earn money by prostitution. Do
not oblige the child to earn money. If he does not find it, he will
steal. Have integrity since Allah has integrity with you, and you must
feed them good food."
(Book #54, Hadith #54.16.42) |
| (93) Malik
related to me from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir that Umayma bint Ruqayqa
said, "I went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, with the women who took an oath of allegiance with him in
Islam. They said, 'Messenger of Allah! We take a pledge with you not to
associate anything with Allah, not to steal, not to commit adultery, not
to kill our children, nor to
produce any lie that we have devised between our hands and feet, and not
to disobey you in what is known.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, 'In what you can do and are able.' "
Umayma continued, "They said, 'Allah and His Messenger are more
merciful to us than ourselves. Come, let us give our hands to you,
Messenger of Allah!' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, 'I do not shake hands with women. My word to a
hundred women is like my word to one woman.' "
