So Utbah went to him and said, "O Muhammad, are you better or Abdullah?" The Messenger of God remained silent. Then he said, "Are you better or Abd al-Muttalib?" The Messenger of God ﷺ remained silent. He said, "If you claim that these are better than you, then they worshipped the deities you have defamed. If you claim that you are better than them, then speak so that we may hear your words. By God, we have never seen a young lamb more ill-omened upon your people than you. You have divided our assembly, scattered our affairs, and defamed our religion, and you have disgraced us among the Arabs, until it has spread among them that there is a sorcerer in Quraysh and a diviner in Quraysh. By God, we are only waiting for a cry like that of a pregnant woman before some of us rise against others with swords until we perish. O man, if it is need that drives you, we will gather for you until you become the richest man of Quraysh. If it is marriage, then choose any of the women of Quraysh you wish, and we will marry you to ten." The Messenger of God said to him, "Have you finished?" He said, "Yes." Then the Messenger of God ﷺ said, "In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Ha Mim. A revelation from the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful," until he reached: "But if they turn away, then say: I have warned you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt of Ad and Thamud." Utbah said, "Enough, enough! Do you have anything other than this?" He said, "No." He returned to Quraysh, and they said, "What is behind you?" He said, "I left nothing that I thought you would speak to him about except that I spoke to him about it." They said, "Did he answer you?" He said, "Yes. By the One who erected it as a building, I understood nothing of what he said except that he said, 'I have warned you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt of Ad and Thamud.'" They said, "Woe to you! A man speaks to you in Arabic and you do not know what he said?" He said, "No, by God, I understood nothing of what he said except the mention of the thunderbolt."

He said: She was pregnant, so the agnates of the slain woman said, "She was pregnant and she cast a fetus." He said: The agnates of the killer feared that they would be held liable. He said: They said, "O Messenger of God, it did not drink, nor eat, nor cry out, so did it utter a sound?" The Messenger of God ﷺ said, "Is it the rhymed prose of the pre-Islamic era?"

    ✧ Marhab b. al-Harith the Jew came out saying: Khaybar knows that I am Marhab, armed with weapons, a tested hero. Sometimes I thrust, and sometimes I strike, when lions advance, they blaze. The tested one is protected from attack; my protection is the sanctuary that is not approached. Is there any challenger? The Messenger of God ﷺ said: Who will face this? Muhammad b. Maslama said: I, O Messenger of God, by God, I am the one bereaved and seeking revenge; they killed my brother yesterday. He said: Arise to him, O God, help him. When one of them approached the other, a tree appeared between them, and one of them began to take refuge behind it from the other. Whenever he took refuge behind it, he cut with his sword what was before him until I saw it like a standing man, until each of them reached the other. Marhab charged at him and struck him, but he defended with his shield, and his sword fell into it and stuck, and the shield held it fast. Then Muhammad b. Maslama struck him and killed him.

When the chest of the Messenger of God’s mount settled on the back of al-Bayda’, he entered ihram, and we entered ihram, not knowing it except as Hajj, and for that we had set out. The Messenger of God was among us, the Qur’an was being revealed to him, and he knew its interpretation; he only did what he was commanded. Jabir said: I looked before me, behind me, to my right, and to my left as far as I could see, and the people were on foot and riding. The Messenger of God ﷺ began to say the talbiyah: “Here I am, O God, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner. Here I am. Indeed, praise and blessing are Yours, and the dominion. You have no partner.” When we arrived in Makkah, he began by touching the corner, then he walked briskly for three circuits and walked normally for four. When he finished his tawaf, he went to the Maqam and said, “God said: ‘And take the station of Abraham as a place of prayer.’” So he prayed two rak’ahs behind the Maqam of Ibrahim. Ja’far said: My father said, “He recited in them the surah of Tawhid: ‘Say: O disbelievers’ and ‘Say: He is God, One.’” He said: “He did not mention that from Jabir.” Then he went to the corner and touched it, then he went to al-Safa and said, “We begin with what God began with: ‘Indeed, al-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of God.’” He climbed al-Safa until the House was visible to him, said “God is great” three times, and said: “There is no god but God alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise. He gives life and causes death. In His hand is all good, and He has power over all things” three times. Then he supplicated. Then he descended from al-Safa and walked until, when his feet reached the bottom of the valley, he walked briskly, and when his feet emerged from the bottom of the valley, he walked to al-Marwah. He climbed al-Marwah until the House was visible to him, and said the same as he had said at al-Safa. He performed seven circuits and said, “Whoever does not have a sacrificial animal with him should exit ihram, and whoever has one should remain in ihram. Had I not brought a sacrificial animal, I would have exited ihram. If I had known at the beginning of my affair what I know now, I would have entered ihram for Umrah.” He said: Ali arrived from Yemen, and the Prophet ﷺ said to him, “With what did you enter ihram, O Ali?” He said, “I said, ‘O God, I enter ihram with what Your Messenger enters ihram.’” He said, “I have a sacrificial animal, so do not exit ihram.” Ali said: I entered upon Fatimah, and she had applied kohl and worn dyed clothes. I said, “Who ordered you to do this?” She said, “My father ordered me.” He said: Ali used to say in Iraq: “I went to the Messenger of God ﷺ, agitated against Fatimah, seeking confirmation of what she said.” He said, “She has spoken the truth; I ordered her.” He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ sacrificed one hundred camels, sixty-three of them with his own hand, and Ali sacrificed the rest. Then he took a piece from each camel, cooked them together, and they ate some of the meat and drank some of the broth. Suraqah b. Malik b. Ju’shum said, “O Messenger of God, is this for this year of ours or forever?” He said, “No, rather forever. Umrah has entered into Hajj.” And he interlaced his fingers.

     ✧ Al-Hajjaj arrived and he used to delay the prayer, so we asked Jabir b. 'Abdullah about that. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray Zuhr at midday when the sun declines, and 'Asr while the sun was still clear, and Maghrib when the sun sets, and 'Isha sometimes he would delay it and sometimes he would hasten it. If he saw that the people had gathered, he hastened, and if he saw that they had delayed, he delayed. And they, or he, used to pray Subh in the dark before dawn.

He reminded them and commanded them to give charity. He said: The woman began to throw her ring, her earring, and the like. The Prophet ﷺ commanded Bilal and he gathered what was there. Then he said: 'Among you, few will enter Paradise.' A woman said: 'O Messenger of Allah, why?' He said: 'You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands.'

Allah descends to the lowest heaven and boasts to the inhabitants of heaven about the people of the earth, saying: 'Look at My servants, disheveled, dusty, and sun-scorched, coming from every deep valley, hoping for My mercy though they have not seen My punishment.' I have not seen a day on which more people are freed from the Fire than the Day of Arafah."

He said, "I want to apply a cupping glass to it." He said, "May God forgive you. By God, if a garment touches me or a fly lands on me it hurts me." When he saw his alarm at that, he began to narrate to us from the Messenger of God ﷺ saying, "The Messenger of God ﷺ said, 'If there is good in any of your remedies—or if there is any—it is in a cupping incision, or a drink of honey, or a cauterization by fire that suits the ailment, but I do not like to be cauterized.'" Then he called the cupper and had the cupping glass applied to his abscess.

     ✧ We came to Jabir b. 'Abd Allah while he was among the Banu Salima, and we asked him about the farewell pilgrimage of the Messenger of God ﷺ. He told us that the Messenger of God ﷺ stayed in Madinah for nine years without performing Hajj. Then it was announced to the people that the Messenger of God ﷺ would perform Hajj that year. Many people came to Madinah, all seeking to follow the Messenger of God ﷺ and do what he did. The Messenger of God ﷺ set out when five days remained of Dhu al-Qa'da, and we set out until we reached Dhu al-Hulayfa, where Asma' gave birth to Muhammad b. Abi Bakr. She sent a message to the Messenger of God ﷺ asking, 'What should I do?' He said, 'Perform ghusl, wrap yourself with a cloth, and then enter ihram.' Then the Messenger of God ﷺ went on until his she-camel stood him upright on al-Bayda', and he began the talbiya with tawhid: 'Labbayk Allahumma labbayk, labbayk la sharika laka labbayk, inna al-hamda wa-l-ni'mata laka wa-l-mulk, la sharika lak.' The people also began the talbiya, and they added 'Dha al-Ma'arij' and similar words, while the Prophet ﷺ heard them and said nothing to them. I looked and extended my gaze in front of the Messenger of God ﷺ, and there were riders and walkers, and behind him the same, and on his right the same, and on his left the same. Jabir said: The Messenger of God ﷺ was among us, and the Qur'an was being revealed to him, and he knew its interpretation, and whatever he did we did. He said: We set out intending nothing but Hajj. When we reached the Ka'ba, the Prophet of God ﷺ touched the Black Stone, then did ramal for three circuits and walked for four. When he finished, he went to the Station of Ibrahim and prayed two rak'as behind it, and he recited: 'And take the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer.' He said: In those two rak'as he recited Surah al-Ikhlas and Surah al-Kafirun. Then he touched the Stone, then went out to al-Safa and said, 'We begin with what God began with,' and he recited: 'Indeed, al-Safa and al-Marwa are among the symbols of God.' Then he climbed al-Safa until he could see the House, and he said takbir, then said: 'There is no god but God alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is able to do all things. There is no god but God alone. He fulfilled His promise, aided His servant, and defeated the confederates alone.' Then he supplicated and returned to this same speech. Then he descended, and when his feet reached the bottom of the valley he ran, and when he ascended he walked, until he came to al-Marwa and climbed it, and when he could see the House he said upon it the same as he had said upon al-Safa. When he was on the seventh circuit at al-Marwa, he said: 'O people, if I had known beforehand what I now know, I would not have brought the sacrificial animal, and I would have made it an 'umra. So whoever among you does not have a sacrificial animal should exit ihram and make it an 'umra.' So all the people exited ihram. Suraqa b. Ju'shum said, 'O Messenger of God, is this for this year of ours or forever?' He said: The Prophet ﷺ interlaced his fingers and said, 'Rather, forever,' three times. 'The 'umra has entered into the Hajj until the Day of Resurrection.' 'Ali arrived from Yemen, bringing with him a sacrificial animal, and the Messenger of God ﷺ had brought a sacrificial animal with him from Madinah. There was Fatima, who had exited ihram and put on dyed clothes and applied kohl, and she said, 'My father commanded me.' 'Ali objected to that. He said: Ja'far said: This phrase was not mentioned by Jabir b. 'Abd Allah; 'Ali said in Kufa: I went away, agitated, to seek confirmation from the Messenger of God ﷺ about what Fatima had mentioned. I said, 'O Messenger of God, Fatima has exited ihram, put on dyed clothes, applied kohl, and said, "My father commanded me."' He said, 'She spoke the truth, she spoke the truth, she spoke the truth. I commanded her to do that.' Then he returned to the hadith of Jabir and said to 'Ali, 'With what did you enter ihram?' He said: I said, 'O God, I enter ihram with what Your Messenger entered ihram, and I have the sacrificial animal with me.' He said, 'Then do not exit ihram.' He said: The total number of sacrificial animals brought by the Prophet ﷺ and by 'Ali was one hundred. The Messenger of God ﷺ slaughtered sixty-three with his own hand, and he gave 'Ali the rest to slaughter, and he made him a partner in his sacrificial animal. The Messenger of God ﷺ ordered that a piece be taken from each camel, and they were put in a pot, and they ate from its meat and drank from its broth. The Messenger of God ﷺ said, 'I have slaughtered here, and Mina is all a place of slaughter.' Then he stood and said, 'I have stood here, and 'Arafa is all a place of standing.' And he stood at al-Muzdalifa and said, 'I have stood here, and al-Muzdalifa is all a place of standing.'

Some of the people fasted and some broke their fast. Then he learned that some people had fasted, and he said, 'Those are the disobedient ones.'

They said: Our people have attributed that to us. He said: One of them said: He adjures us by the like of this. He said: Do you find that looking is fornication, embracing is fornication, and kissing is fornication? So when four witnesses testify that they saw him begin and repeat as the applicator enters the kohl-pot, then stoning is due.

     ✧ When you are in fertile land, give the mounts their fill and do not go beyond the camping spots. When you are in barren land, travel quickly, and upon you is the night journey, for the earth is folded up at night. If the ghouls appear to you, hasten to the call to prayer. Do not pray on the main roads, and do not camp on them, for they are the abode of snakes and beasts of prey. Do not relieve yourselves on them, for they are the places of cursing.

     ✧ Abu Bakr al-Siddiq entered seeking permission to see the Messenger of God ﷺ, and he found people sitting at his door, none of them having been given permission. He said: Permission was given to Abu Bakr, and he entered. Then Umar came and sought permission, and permission was given to him. He found the Prophet ﷺ sitting with his wives around him, silent and grieved. He said: I will say something to make the Prophet ﷺ laugh. He said, "O Messenger of God, if you had seen the daughter of Kharija: she asked me for maintenance, so I stood up to her and struck her neck." The Messenger of God ﷺ laughed and said, "They are around me as you see, asking me for maintenance." Abu Bakr stood up to Aisha, striking her neck, and Umar stood up to Hafsa, striking her neck. Each of them said, "Do you ask the Messenger of God ﷺ for what he does not have?" They said, "By God, we will never ask the Messenger of God ﷺ for anything he does not have." Then he withdrew from them for a month or twenty-nine days. Then this verse was revealed to him: "O Prophet, say to your wives..." until he reached, "for the doers of good among you a great reward." He said: He began with Aisha and said, "O Aisha, I want to present to you a matter, and I would not like you to hasten in it with anything until you consult your parents." She said, "What is it, O Messenger of God?" He recited the verse to her. She said, "Should I consult my parents concerning you, O Messenger of God? Rather I choose God and His Messenger and the Hereafter, and I ask you not to inform any woman of your wives of what I said." He said, "No woman among them asks me except that I inform her. God did not send me as one who makes things difficult, but He sent me as a teacher, one who makes things easy."
