My knee was touching the thigh of the Prophet of God ﷺ, and his lower garment slipped away from his thigh, and I could see the whiteness of the thigh of the Prophet of God ﷺ. When he entered the town, he said, 'God is greatest! Khaybar is destroyed! When we descend upon the courtyard of a people, evil is the morning of those who were warned.' He said it three times. He said: The people had gone out to their work, and they said, 'Muhammad!' Abdul-Aziz said: Some of our companions added, 'and the army.'

So he took Safiyyah bint Huyayy. A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of God, you gave Dihyah Safiyyah bint Huyayy, the lady of Qurayzah and al-Nadir. By God, she is only suitable for you.' He ﷺ said, 'Call him to bring her.' He came with her. When the Prophet ﷺ looked at her, he said, 'Take another slave girl from the captives.' Then the Prophet of God ﷺ freed her and married her. Thabit asked him, 'O Abu Hamzah, what dowry did he give her?' He said, 'Her own self; he freed her and married her.'

    ✧ It used to please us when a man from the desert would come and ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. A bedouin came and said, "O Messenger of Allah, when is the Hour?" The prayer was called, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed. When he finished his prayer, he said, "Where is the one asking about the Hour?" He said, "Here I am, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "What have you prepared for it?" He said, "I have not prepared much in the way of deeds—[not] prayer or fasting—except that I love Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A man will be with those he loves." Anas said, "I did not see the Muslims rejoice over anything after Islam the way they rejoiced over that."

    ✧ The prayer was called, and there had been something between the Prophet ﷺ and his wives, so he was pacifying one and another. Abu Bakr came and said, "Rub, O Messenger of Allah, dust in their mouths and go out to the prayer."

75. Musnad Ahmad 12015Sahih

    لَا يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ لِضُرٍّ نَزَلَ بِهِ، وَلَكِنْ لِيَقُلِ: اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتِ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي، وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتِ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي

    ✧ The Prophet ﷺ passed by a group of his companions and a young boy on the road. When his mother saw the people, she feared for her son to be trampled, so she came running and saying, "My son, my son." She rushed and took him, and the people said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, she was about to throw her son into the fire." The Prophet ﷺ calmed them down and said, "By Allah's oath, His Beloved will not throw his beloved into the fire."

79. Musnad Ahmad 12019Sahih

    ✧ Anas was asked: Did the Prophet ﷺ raise his hands? He said: It was said to him on a Friday: O Messenger of God, the rain has withheld and the land has become barren and wealth has perished. He said: He raised his hands until I saw the whiteness of his armpits and prayed for rain. And he raised his hands while we saw no cloud in the sky, and we had not finished the prayer before the young man who lived nearby was concerned about returning to his family. He said: When the next Friday came, they said: O Messenger of God, the houses have collapsed and the riders are held back. The Messenger of God ﷺ smiled at how quickly the son of Adam becomes discontent, and said: O God, around us and not upon us. Then it cleared away from Madinah.

    ✧ O company of the Ansar, did I not come to you astray and God [Mighty and Majestic] guided you through me? Did I not come to you divided and God united you through me? Did I not come to you as enemies and God brought your hearts together through me? They said: Yes, O Messenger of God.

The Messenger of God ﷺ said to them: If only you would go out to some milking camels of ours and drink their milk - Humayd said: And Qatadah said, from Anas: and their urine - so they did.

     ✧ Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him; and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him. We said: O Messenger of Allah, all of us hate death. He said: That is not hatred of death, but when the believer is at the point of death, the bearer of good tidings from Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, comes to him with what he is going to, so nothing is more beloved to him than that he has met Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, so Allah loves to meet him. And when the wicked—or the disbeliever—is at the point of death, there comes to him what he is going to of evil—or what he will encounter of evil—so he hates to meet Allah and Allah hates to meet him.

Why did you not say: O Allah, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire? He said: Then he supplicated to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, healed him.

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was never asked for anything for the sake of Islam but that he gave it. He said: A man came to him and asked him, so he ordered for him a large flock of sheep between two mountains from the zakah sheep.

     ✧ ʿAbd Allāh b. Salām came to the Messenger of God ﷺ when he arrived in Madinah, and said: “O Messenger of God, I will ask you about three things that only a prophet knows.” He said: “Ask.” He said: “What is the first sign of the Hour? What is the first thing the people of Paradise eat? And why does a child resemble its father and its mother?” The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Jibrīl ﷺ just told me about them.” He said: “That is the enemy of the Jews among the angels.” He said: “As for the first sign of the Hour, it is a fire that will emerge from the east and drive the people to the west. As for the first thing the people of Paradise eat, it is an extra lobe of a fish’s liver. As for the child’s resemblance to its father and mother: if the man’s fluid precedes the woman’s fluid, the child resembles him; and if the woman’s fluid precedes the man’s fluid, the child resembles her.” He said: “I testify that there is no god but God and that you are the Messenger of God.” He said: “O Messenger of God, the Jews are a slanderous people. If they learn of my Islam, they will slander me before you.

Anas said: “In their time we used to call them the reciters. They used to gather firewood by day and pray by night.” They went with them until they reached the well of Maʿūna, where they betrayed them and killed them. The Messenger of God ﷺ then performed qunūt for a month in the dawn prayer, supplicating against these tribes: Riʿl, Dhakwān, ʿUṣayya, and Banū Liḥyān. Qatāda said: “Anas narrated to us that they recited a Qur’anic passage about them.” Ibn Jaʿfar said in his narration: “We recited a Qur’anic passage about them: ‘Convey on our behalf to our people that we have met our Lord, and He is pleased with us and has made us pleased.’ Then that was later lifted or abrogated.”

Intercede for us with our Lord [Mighty and Majestic] to relieve us from this place of ours.” Adam will say to them: “I am not the one for that,” and he will mention his sin that he committed and be too ashamed before his Lord [Mighty and Majestic] because of it, and he will say: “But go to Noah, for he is the first messenger God sent to the people of the earth.” They will come to Noah, and he will say: “I am not the one for that,” and he will mention his error: his asking his Lord [Mighty and Majestic] about something of which he had no knowledge, and he will be too ashamed before his Lord because of it, and he will say: “But go to Abraham, the friend of the Merciful [Mighty and Majestic].” They will come to him, and he will say: “I am not the one for that, but go to Moses ﷺ, a servant to whom God spoke and gave the Torah.” They will come to Moses, and he will say: “I am not the one for that,” and he will mention the soul he killed without right, and he will be too ashamed before his Lord because of it, and he will say: “But go to Jesus, the servant of God, His messenger, His word, and His spirit.” They will come to Jesus, and he will say: “I am not the one for that, but go to Muhammad ﷺ, a servant whose past and future sins God has forgiven.” So they will come to me. Al-Hasan said this word: “Then I will stand and walk between two rows of the believers.” Anas said: “Until I seek permission from my Lord [Mighty and Majestic], and permission will be granted to me. When I see my Lord [Mighty and Majestic], I will fall—or drop—prostrate to my Lord, and He will leave me as long as God wills to leave me.” He said: “Then it will be said: ‘Raise your head, Muhammad; speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted.’ So I will raise my head and praise Him with a praise He will teach me, then I will intercede, and He will set a limit for me, and I will admit them into Paradise. Then I will return to Him a second time. When I see my Lord [Mighty and Majestic], I will fall—or drop—prostrate to my Lord, and He will leave me as long as God wills to leave me. Then it will be said: ‘Raise your head, Muhammad; speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted.’ So I will raise my head and praise Him with a praise He will teach me, then I will intercede, and He will set a limit for me, and I will admit them into Paradise. Then I will return to Him a third time. When I see my Lord, I will fall—or drop—prostrate to my Lord [Mighty and Majestic], and He will leave me as long as God wills to leave me. Then it will be said: ‘Raise your head, Muhammad; speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted.’ So I will raise my head and praise Him with a praise He will teach me, then I will intercede, and He will set a limit for me, and I will admit them into Paradise. Then I will return a fourth time and say: ‘O Lord, none remains except those whom the Qur'an has held back.’” Anas b. Malik narrated to us that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Then there will come out of the Fire those who said ‘There is no god but God’ and had in their heart good equal to the weight of a barley grain. Then there will come out of the Fire those who said ‘There is no god but God’ and had in their heart good equal to the weight of a wheat grain. Then there will come out of the Fire those who said ‘There is no god but God’ and had in their heart good equal to the weight of an atom.”

     ✧ A man used to write for the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He had memorized Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Al Imran, and when he recited them, he would become very pale, meaning he would become overwhelmed. So the Prophet ﷺ would dictate to him, saying "Write it as 'Ghafur' (the Forgiving) and 'Raheem' (the Merciful)," and he would write it as 'Aleem' (the All-Knowing) and 'Hakeem' (the Wise). The Prophet ﷺ would then say to him, "Write whatever you wish." And he would dictate to him, saying "Write it as 'Samee' (All-Hearing) and 'Baseer' (All-Seeing)?" And he would reply, "Write whatever you wish." So that man turned away from Islam and joined the polytheists, and he said, "I know better than all of you about Muhammad. If I wanted, I could write whatever I wished." That man died and the Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, the earth did not accept him."

     Verily, Allah does not treat a believer unjustly in regard to his virtues. He would confer upon him (His blessing) in this world and would give him reward in the Hereafter. And as regards a non-believer, he would be made to taste the reward (of virtue in this world) what he has done for himself so much that when it would be the Hereafter, he would find no virtue for which he should be rewarded.

     ✧ Safiyyah fell to the share of Dihyah al-Kalbi. It was said to the Messenger of God ﷺ, "A beautiful slave girl has fallen to the share of Dihyah." So the Messenger of God ﷺ bought her from him for seven heads of livestock, and placed her with Umm Sulaym until she was prepared and completed her waiting period, as far as Hammad knew. The people said, "By God, we do not know whether the Messenger of God ﷺ married her or took her as a concubine." When he mounted her behind him and screened her, the people knew that he had married her. When he drew near to Madinah, the people hastened, and the Messenger of God ﷺ hastened, and that is what they used to do. The she-camel stumbled, and the Messenger of God ﷺ fell and she fell with him, while the wives of the Prophet ﷺ were looking on. They said, "May God distance the Jewess!" and did such-and-such to her. Then the Messenger of God ﷺ stood up, screened her, and mounted her behind him.

     ✧ The site of the Prophet's mosque ﷺ belonged to the Banu al-Najjar. In it were palm trees, cultivated land, and graves from the graves of the Jahiliyyah.

When Mu'adh finished the prayer, it was said to him, "Haram entered the mosque, and when he saw you lengthening, he shortened his prayer and went to his palm trees to water them." Mu'adh said, "He is indeed a hypocrite. Does he rush away from prayer for the sake of watering his palm trees?" Then Haram came to the Prophet ﷺ while Mu'adh was with him, and said, "O Prophet of God, I intended to water some palm trees of mine. I entered the mosque to pray with the people, but when he lengthened, I shortened my prayer and went to my palm trees to water them. He claims that I am a hypocrite." The Prophet ﷺ turned to Mu'adh and said, "Are you a troublemaker? Are you a troublemaker? Do not lengthen the prayer with them. Recite: 'Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,' 'By the sun and its brightness,' and the like of these two."

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Basbasah as a scout to see what the caravan of Abu Sufyan had done. He came back while there was no one in the house except me and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ - he said: I do not know if he excluded some of his wives - and he told him the news. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and spoke, saying: "We have an objective. Whoever has a mount ready, let him ride with us." Some men asked his permission regarding mounts they had in the upper part of Madinah. He said: "No, only those whose mounts are present." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions set out until they preceded the polytheists to Badr. The polytheists came, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "None of you should advance toward anything until I give him permission." The polytheists drew near, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Arise to a Paradise whose width is the heavens and the earth." 'Umayr ibn al-Humam al-Ansari said: "O Messenger of Allah, a Paradise whose width is the heavens and the earth?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Excellent, excellent!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "What prompts you to say 'Excellent, excellent'?" He said: "Nothing, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah, except the hope that I will be among its people." He said: "Indeed, you are among its people." Then he took out some dates from his quiver and began to eat them. Then he said: "If I live long enough to eat these dates of mine, that would be a long life." Then he threw away the dates he had, then fought them until he was killed.

     لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ - إِلَى قَوْلِهِ - وَأَنْتُمْ لا تَشْعُرُونَ، وَكَانَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ الشَّمَّاسِ رَفِيعَ الصَّوْتِ، فَقَالَ: أَنَا الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَرْفَعُ صَوْتِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، حَبِطَ عَمَلِي، أَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ، وَجَلَسَ فِي أَهْلِهِ حَزِينًا، فَتَفَقَّدَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَانْطَلَقَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالُوا لَهُ: تَفَقَّدَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، مَا لَكَ ؟ فَقَالَ: أَنَا الَّذِي أَرْفَعُ صَوْتِي فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ [ ﷺ ]، وَأَجْهَرُ بِالْقَوْلِ، حَبِطَ عَمَلِي، وَأَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ، فَأَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِمَا قَالَ: فَقَالَ: لَا، بَلْ هُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ. قَالَ أَنَسٌ: وَكُنَّا نَرَاهُ يَمْشِي بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا، وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْيَمَامَةِ كَانَ فِينَا بَعْضُ الِانْكِشَافِ، فَجَاءَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ، وَقَدْ تَحَنَّطَ وَلَبِسَ كَفَنَهُ، فَقَالَ: بِئْسَمَا تُعَوِّدُونَ أَقْرَانَكُمْ، فَقَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى قُتِلَ

     ✧ When this verse was revealed: 'O you who believe, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet' up to His saying 'while you do not perceive,' Thabit ibn Qays ibn al-Shammas had a loud voice. He said: "I am the one who used to raise my voice above the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. My deeds have become worthless; I am among the people of the Fire." He sat among his family in grief. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ noticed his absence, so some of the people went to him and said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has noticed your absence. What is the matter with you?" He said: "I am the one who raises my voice above the voice of the Prophet ﷺ and speaks loudly. My deeds have become worthless, and I am among the people of the Fire." They came to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of what he said. He said: "No, rather he is among the people of Paradise." Anas said: "We used to see him walking among us, and we knew that he was among the people of Paradise. When the day of al-Yamamah came, there was some retreat among us, and Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammas came, having embalmed himself and put on his shroud. He said: 'How badly you accustom your peers!' Then he fought them until he was killed."

Malik reported that when Messenger of Allah ﷺ had completed his dawn prayer, the servants of Medina came to him with utensils containing water, and no utensil was brought in which he did not dip his hand; and sometime they came in the cold dawn (and he did not feel reluctant in acceding to their request even in the cold weather) and dipped his hand in them.

     كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، فَكَتَبَ كِتَابًا بَيْنَ أَهْلِهِ، فَقَالَ: اشْهَدُوا يَا مَعْشَرَ الْقُرَّاءِ، قَالَ ثَابِتٌ: فَكَأَنِّي كَرِهْتُ ذَلِكَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ لَوْ سَمَّيْتَهُمْ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ، قَالَ: وَمَا بَأْسُ ذَلِكَ أَنْ أَقُلْ لَكُمْ: قُرَّاءُ، أَفَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ عَنْ إِخْوَانِكُمُ الَّذِينَ كُنَّا نُسَمِّيهِمْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْقُرَّاءَ ؟ فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا سَبْعِينَ، فَكَانُوا إِذَا جَنَّهُمُ اللَّيْلُ، انْطَلَقُوا إِلَى مَعْلَمٍ لَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَيَدْرُسُونَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنَ حَتَّى يُصْبِحُوا، فَإِذَا أَصْبَحُوا فَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ قُوَّةٌ اسْتَعْذَبَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ، وَأَصَابَ مِنَ الْحَطَبِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ سَعَةٌ اجْتَمَعُوا فَاشْتَرَوُا الشَّاةَ فَأَصْلَحُوهَا، فَيُصْبِحُ ذَلِكَ مُعَلَّقًا بِحُجَرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَلَمَّا أُصِيبَ خُبَيْبٌ بَعَثَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَأَتَوْا عَلَى حَيٍّ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ وَفِيهِمْ خَالِي حَرَامٌ، فَقَالَ حَرَامٌ لِأَمِيرِهِمْ: دَعْنِي فَلْأُخْبِرْ هَؤُلَاءِ أَنَّا لَسْنَا إِيَّاهُمْ نُرِيدُ، حَتَّى يُخَلُّوا وَجْهَنَا - وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ: فَيُخْلُونَ وَجْهَنَا، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ حَرَامٌ: إِنَّا لَسْنَا إِيَّاكُمْ نُرِيدُ، [فَخَلُّوا وَجْهَنَا] فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ رَجُلٌ بِالرُّمْحِ، فَأَنْفَذَهُ مِنْهُ، فَلَمَّا وَجَدَ الرُّمْحَ فِي جَوْفِهِ قَالَ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، فُزْتُ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ، قَالَ: فَانْطَوَوْا عَلَيْهِمْ فَمَا بَقِيَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ، فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ: فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَجَدَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ قَطُّ وَجْدَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كُلَّمَا صَلى الْغَدَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِمْ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِذَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَقُولُ لِي: هَلْ لَكَ فِي قَاتِلِ حَرَامٍ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: مَا لَهُ ؟ فَعَلَ اللهُ بِهِ وَفَعَلَ، قَالَ: مَهْلًا، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَسْلَمَ

     ✧ Steadfast, it was as if I detested that, so I said, "O Abu Hamzah, if you were to call them by their names." He replied, "There is no harm in that. Shall I inform you about your brothers whom we used to call the Qurraa' during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? They were seventy in number. When nightfall came upon them, they would go to a teacher in Al-Madinah and study the Quran until morning. Then, whoever had strength would fetch water, and others would bring firewood. Those who had the means would contribute and they would buy a sheep, which they would slaughter and prepare. In the morning, they would hang it at the door of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When Khubayb (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent them to ask for blood money. They came to a settlement of Banu Sulaym, among whom there was Haram. Haram forbade their Amir from speaking to them and said, 'Leave me so that I may inform these people that we do not need them until they show their faces.' 'Affan said, 'They will show their faces.' Haram told them, 'We have no need for you,' and a man approached them with a spear and pierced him with it. When he discovered the spear in his stomach, he said, 'Allahu Akbar! By the Lord of the Ka'bah, I have succeeded!' Then, they attacked them and none of them survived. Anas said, 'I have never seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ so happy about anything I did not see anything on them except a small sword, which the Prophet ﷺ did not find upon them. Whenever he prayed Fajr, he raised his hands and invoked curses upon them. After that, whenever Abu Talhah said, 'May you perish in the fight of the forbidden,' I would say to him, 'May Allah deal with him as He wills' and it would be that Allah had already dealt with him. 'Affan said, 'Wait, for he has accepted Islam.' 'Affan said, 'He raised his hands and invoked curses upon them.' Abu An-Nadir said, 'He raised his hands.'

     ✧ Usayd b. Hudayr and another man from the Ansar were talking with the Messenger of God ﷺ one night about a matter of theirs, until an hour of the night had passed; it was a very dark night. Then they left the Messenger of God ﷺ to return, each with a small staff in his hand. The staff of one of them shone for them, so they walked in its light, until the road separated them; then the other's staff shone for him, and each of them walked in the light of his staff until he reached his family.

     ✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ sought permission to enter upon Sa'd b. Ubadah, saying: "Peace be upon you and the mercy of God." Sa'd said: "And upon you be peace and the mercy of God," but he did not make the Prophet ﷺ hear, until he had greeted three times; Sa'd replied to him three times but did not make him hear. So the Prophet ﷺ turned back, and Sa'd followed him and said: "O Messenger of God, may my father and mother be your ransom; you did not utter a greeting but it was in my ear, and I replied to you but did not make you hear. I wanted to increase in your greetings and in blessing." Then he brought him into the house and offered him raisins, and the Prophet of God ﷺ ate. When he had finished, he said: "The righteous have eaten your food, the angels have prayed over you, and the fasting have broken their fast with you."

     ✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered Khaybar, Al-Hajjaj bin 'Ilat said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have wealth and family in Makkah, and I want to go to them. I am in a state of Ihram, so if I receive something from you or say something, will I still be considered in a state of Ihram?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave him permission to say whatever he wished, so he went to his wife when he arrived and said, "Gather for me whatever you have, for I want to buy from the spoils of Muhammad ﷺ and his companions, for they have been made permissible. Their wealth has been taken." This news spread in Makkah, and the Muslims were saddened while the polytheists rejoiced. The news reached Al-'Abbas, who was disturbed and could not stand up. Ma'mar mentioned that 'Uthman Al-Jazari told me about Miqussam, who said that his son, named Qutham, was taken by his father and placed on his chest while he said, "My dear Qutham, you resemble the one with the flattened nose, the Asammaynabi, the one with blessings despite people's rejection." Thabit reported from Anas that the boy was then sent to Al-Hajjaj bin 'Ilat, who said to him, "Woe to you! What have you brought and what do you say?" The boy replied, "The promise of Allah is better than what I brought. Al-Hajjaj bin 'Ilat said to his boy, "Read the greeting to my father and tell him that he should let me into some of his houses so that I may come to him. Tell him that the news is according to his liking." When Al-Hajjaj bin 'Ilat's boy arrived at the door of his home, he said, "Be happy, O Abu Al-Fadl!" Al-'Abbas joyfully stepped forward and kissed him between his eyes, and he informed him of what Al-Hajjaj had said. Al-Hajjaj then came and informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had conquered Khaybar, seized their wealth, and the arrows of Allah (referring to the blessings) had been shot in their wealth. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had chosen Safiyyah bint Huyayy for himself and offered her the choice to either be set free and become his wife, or to return to her people. She chose to be set free and became his wife. However, I have come for the wealth that I had here and I wanted to collect it. So, I sought permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he gave me permission to say whatever I wished. So, keep three things secret from me and mention what you may have heard." Al-Hajjaj's wife gathered whatever jewelry and belongings she had and handed them over to him. Then he put them on and, after three days, Al-'Abbas came to Al-Hajjaj's wife and asked her, "What did your husband do?" She informed him that he had left on such and such date and said, "Do not be saddened by what you have heard. May Allah bless you, O Abu Al-Fadl." Al-'Abbas replied, "By Allah, I believe that you are telling the truth." He then left until he came to the gatherings of the Quraysh, where they were saying that when he passed by them, nothing but good would come to him. They said to him, "Nothing but good has come to you, O Abu Al-Fadl." He replied, "By the grace of Allah, nothing but good has come to me. Al-Hajjaj bin 'Ilat has informed me that Khaybar has been conquered by the Prophet ﷺ, the arrows of Allah (referring to the blessings) have been shot in their wealth, and the Prophet ﷺ has chosen Safiyyah for himself. He asked me to keep three things secret from him and said that he only came to collect his wealth that he had here. Then he will leave." Allah removed the sadness that was upon the Muslims and the joy that was upon the polytheists. The Muslims came out, and whoever had entered his home feeling sad returned. They came to Al-'Abbas, and he informed them of the news. The Muslims became joyful, and any feelings of sorrow, anger, or sadness towards the polytheists were reversed.

A wide cup with water was brought to the Messenger of God ﷺ, and he placed his palm in the vessel, but the vessel could not contain the whole palm of the Messenger of God ﷺ. He said, with these four in the vessel: 'Come near and perform ablution,' while his hand was in the vessel. So they performed ablution until not one of them remained without having performed ablution." He said: I said: "O Abu Hamzah, how many do you think they were?" He said: "Between seventy and eighty."

     ✧ A morning or an evening spent in the path of God is better than the world and what it contains. The place of the bow of one of you, or the place of his whip—meaning his lash—in Paradise is better than the world and what it contains. If a woman from the women of the people of Paradise were to look upon the earth, she would fill what is between them with fragrance, and what is between them would become good. Her headscarf on her head is better than the world and what it contains.

     ✧ Abu Talhah was the wealthiest of the Ansar in Madinah. The dearest of his properties to him was Bayruha', which faced the mosque. The Prophet ﷺ used to enter it and drink from its sweet water. Anas said: When the verse 'You will not attain piety until you spend from what you love' was revealed, Abu Talhah said: 'O Messenger of God, God says: You will not attain piety until you spend from what you love. The dearest of my properties to me is Bayruha', and it is charity for God, Mighty and Majestic. I hope for its reward and its store with God. Place it, O Messenger of God, wherever God shows you.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Excellent! That is a profitable property, that is a profitable property. I have heard, and I suggest that you give it to your relatives.'

     ✧ Hell will not cease saying, 'Is there any more?' until the Lord of the worlds, mighty and majestic, places His foot upon it, whereupon it will shrink in upon itself and say, 'Enough, enough, by Your might!' And in Paradise there will remain surplus space until Allah creates another creation and settles them in the surplus of Paradise.
