جَلَدَ عِيَاضُ بْنُ غَنْمٍ صَاحِبَ دَارَا حِينَ فُتِحَتْ، فَأَغْلَظَ لَهُ هِشَامُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ الْقَوْلَ، حَتَّى غَضِبَ عِيَاضٌ، ثُمَّ مَكَثَ لَيَالِيَ، فَأَتَاهُ هِشَامُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ فَاعْتَذَرَ إِلَيْهِ. ثُمَّ قَالَ هِشَامٌ لِعِيَاضٍ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ مِنْ أَشَدِّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا أَشَدَّهُمْ عَذَابًا فِي الدُّنْيَا لِلنَّاسِ ؟ فَقَالَ عِيَاضُ بْنُ غَنْمٍ: يَا هِشَامُ بْنَ حَكِيمٍ، قَدْ سَمِعْنَا مَا سَمِعْتَ، وَرَأَيْنَا مَا رَأَيْتَ، أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْصَحَ لِسُلْطَانٍ بِأَمْرٍ فَلَا يُبْدِ لَهُ عَلَانِيَةً، وَلَكِنْ لِيَأْخُذْ بِيَدِهِ فَيَخْلُوَ بِهِ، فَإِنْ قَبِلَ مِنْهُ فَذَاكَ، وَإِلَّا كَانَ قَدْ أَدَّى الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ لَهُ ؟ وَإِنَّكَ يَا هِشَامُ لَأَنْتَ الْجَرِيءُ؛ إِذْ تَجْتَرِئُ عَلَى سُلْطَانِ اللهِ، فَهَلَّا خَشِيتَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَكَ السُّلْطَانُ فَتَكُونَ قَتِيلَ سُلْطَانِ اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى
✧ ʿIyāḍ b. Ghanm flogged the ruler of Dārā when it was conquered, and Hishām b. Ḥakīm spoke harshly to him until ʿIyāḍ became angry. Then some nights later, Hishām b. Ḥakīm came to him and apologized. Then Hishām said to ʿIyāḍ: “Did you not hear the Prophet ﷺ say: ‘Among the people most severely punished are those most severe in punishing people in this world’?” ʿIyāḍ b. Ghanm said: “O Hishām b. Ḥakīm, we have heard what you heard and seen what you saw. Did you not hear the Messenger of God ﷺ say: ‘Whoever wants to advise a ruler about a matter should not do so openly, but should take him by the hand and be alone with him. If he accepts it from him, then that is that; otherwise he has fulfilled what was due from him’? And you, Hishām, are indeed bold—you dare to confront God’s ruler. Why did you not fear that the ruler might kill you, and you would become a victim of God’s ruler, Blessed and Exalted?”

He said: "Rather forever." When we arrived in Makkah, we circumambulated the House and between al-Safa and al-Marwah. Then he commanded us to engage in mut'ah with women. We went back to him and said: "O Messenger of Allah, they refuse unless a fixed term is set." He said: "Then do it."

She began to look at my companion's garment and thought it better than mine, and she looked at me and thought me more youthful than him. She said: "A garment for a garment," and she chose me. I married her for ten days with my garment. I spent that night with her. When I arose in the morning, I went to the mosque and heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the pulpit delivering a sermon, saying: "Whoever among you has married a woman for a fixed term, let him give her what he specified for her and not take back anything of what he gave her, and let him part from her, for Allah, exalted is He, has forbidden it to you until the Day of Resurrection."

✧ Abd Allah b. Muhayriz, who was an orphan under the care of Abu Mahdhurah, informed him—Rawh said: Ibn Mi'yar, but Ibn Bakr did not say that—when he prepared him to go to Syria. He said: I said to Abu Mahdhurah: 'O uncle, I am going to Syria and I fear that I may be asked about your adhan.' He told me that Abu Mahdhurah said to him: 'Yes. I went out with a group of people, and we were on part of the road to Hunayn. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was returning from Hunayn, and we met him on part of the road. The mu'adhdhin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called the adhan for prayer in his presence, and we heard the voice of the mu'adhdhin while we were off to the side. We shouted, imitating him and mocking him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard the sound and sent for us until we stood before him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Which of you is the one whose voice I heard raised?" The people all pointed to me, and they were truthful. He sent them all away and kept me. He said: "Stand and call the adhan for prayer." I stood, and nothing was more hateful to me than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or what he commanded me to do. I stood before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he himself taught me the adhan. He said: "Say: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar; ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah, ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah; ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasul Allah, ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasul Allah." Then he said to me: "Go back and extend your voice." Then he said: "Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah, ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah; ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasul Allah, ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasul Allah; hayya 'ala al-salah, hayya 'ala al-salah; hayya 'ala al-falah, hayya 'ala al-falah; Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illa Allah." Then, when I finished the adhan, he called me and gave me a pouch containing some silver. Then he placed his hand on the forelock of Abu Mahdhurah, then passed it over his face, then over his chest, then over his belly, and the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ reached the navel of Abu Mahdhurah. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "May Allah bless you." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, command me to call the adhan in Makkah." He said: "I have commanded you to do it." All hatred of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that I had left, and it turned into love for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then I came to Attab b. Asid, the governor of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Makkah, and called the adhan with him for prayer by the command of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.'

✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a raid, and the people were struck by severe hunger. The people asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for permission to slaughter some of their riding camels, and they said, “Allah will enable us to reach with it.” When ‘Umar b. al-Khattab saw that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was about to permit them to slaughter some of their riding camels, he said, “O Messenger of Allah, how will we be if we meet the people tomorrow hungry and on foot? But if you see fit, O Messenger of Allah, call for the remains of their provisions and gather them, then supplicate Allah for blessing in them, for Allah, Blessed and Exalted, will bring us through your supplication” – or he said, “He will bless us in your supplication.” So the Prophet ﷺ called for the remains of their provisions. The people began bringing handfuls of food and more than that, and the most anyone brought was a sa’ of dates. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gathered it all, then stood and supplicated as much as Allah willed him to supplicate. Then he called the army with their vessels and ordered them to scoop. Not a single vessel in the army remained but they filled it, and the same amount remained. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed until his molars showed and said, “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah. No believing servant will meet Allah with these two without the Fire being veiled from him on the Day of Resurrection.”

He said: That night the devils came down upon the Messenger of God ﷺ from the valleys and mountain passes, and among them was a devil with a flame of fire in his hand, intending to burn the face of the Messenger of God ﷺ with it. Then Gabriel ﷺ descended to him and said: O Muhammad, say. He said: What should I say? He said: Say: I seek refuge in the perfect words of God from the evil of what He has created, and scattered, and brought forth; and from the evil of what descends from the sky, and from the evil of what ascends in it; and from the evil of the trials of the night and the day, and from the evil of every night-comer except a night-comer who comes with good, O Most Merciful. He said: Then their fire was extinguished, and God, Blessed and Exalted, defeated them.

He recited to them: “Indeed, We have granted you a clear conquest” [Qur’an 48:1]. A man among the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “O Messenger of Allah, is it a conquest?” He said: “Yes, by the One in whose hand is the soul of Muḥammad, it is indeed a conquest.” Khaybar was divided among the people of al-Ḥudaybiyyah; he did not include with them in it anyone except those who had witnessed al-Ḥudaybiyyah.

He gave the horseman two shares and the foot soldier one share.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Go," so we went with him to the house of A'ishah. He said: "O A'ishah, feed us." She brought some coarse crushed wheat and we ate. Then she brought a small amount of dates mixed with butter and we ate. Then he said: "O A'ishah, give us drink." She brought a large wooden cup and we drank. Then she brought a small bowl with milk and we drank. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If you wish, you may stay the night, and if you wish, you may go to the mosque." I said: "No, rather we will go to the mosque." He said: While I was lying on my stomach before dawn, a man nudged me with his foot and said: "This is a posture that Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, hates." I looked and saw that it was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

“The Prophet ﷺ said: ‘Friday is the chief of days, the greatest day before Allah. It is greater before Allah then the Day of Adha and the Day of Fitr. It has five characteristics: On it Allah created Adam; on it Allah sent down Adam to this earth; on it there is a time during which a person does not ask Allah for anything but He will give it to him, so long as he does not ask for anything that is forbidden; on it the Hour will begin. There is no angel who is close to Allah, no heaven, no earth, no wind, no mountain, and no sea that does not fear Friday.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1084)

✧ I met the Christian monk who was the messenger of Heraclius, the king of Byzantium, to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Hims. He was my neighbor, an elderly sheikh who was nearly blind. I asked him to inform me about the letters exchanged between Heraclius and the Prophet ﷺ. He said, "Yes, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Tabuk and sent Dihyah al-Kalbi to Heraclius. When Heraclius received the letter from the Prophet ﷺ, he summoned the Roman priests and dignitaries, then closed the door on them and himself. He said, 'Indeed this man has emerged where you said he would. He has called me to one of three matters: to follow him in his religion, or to give him our wealth on our land (which is our land), or to wage war against him. By Allah, you know from your readings of the scriptures that he shall possess all that lies under my feet. So, shall we follow him in his religion, or give him our wealth on our land?' They knelt down before him like a man humbly submitting until they left their palaces and said, 'You invite us to leave Christianity or become slaves for an Arabian who came from the Hijaz.' When he thought that they would cause corruption if they left him, the Romans exalted them. He said, 'Indeed, I only said that to test your resolve in your matter.' Then he called a man from the Arabs who was known for his knowledge of the Arabic language. He said, 'Send with me a man who is well-versed in traditions in Arabic. I will take him to this man with the response to his letter.' So, he came with me and handed me a letter from Heraclius who said, 'Take my letter to this man.' I did not forget anything he had told me. He said, 'Preserve for me three qualities in him: see if he mentions the parchment on which I had written to him, see if he mentions that which he read in my letter, and see if he doubts anything on his back.' I took his letter and left for Tabuk. When I arrived, I found him sitting among his companions, reclining by the water. I said, 'Where is your companion?' They said, 'Here he is.' I approached and sat before him, handing him the letter. He placed it under a stone and asked, 'Who are you?' I said, 'I am one of the Tanukh tribe.' He asked, 'Do you have the religion of your father, Ibrahim, the Hanif?' I replied, 'I am a messenger of a people, and I adhere to the religion of a people, and I shall not deviate from it until I return to them.' He laughed and said, 'You do not guide those you desire, but Allah guides whomever He wills, and He is the most knowledgeable of the guided.' O Companion of Tanukh, I wrote a letter to Khosrow, and he tore it up - may Allah tear him in pieces and tear up his kingdom. I wrote a letter to Negus, and he tore it up - may Allah tear him and tear up his kingdom. Then I wrote a letter to your companion and he held onto it. The people will always find therein division as long as it is available in this world. Good is to stay alive.' 'I recollected what you had told me your companion had entrusted me with in that letter and took an arrow from my quiver and inscribed it on my sword's sheath. He then, with a man by his left, pointed a finger to my sword's sheath, asking, 'Who is the companion of your book? The one that reads to you.' They replied, 'It is Mu'awiyah.' He said, 'In your companion's book you call me to a paradise as vast as the heavens and the earth, prepared for the righteous. But where is the fire?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Glorified is Allah! Where is the night when the day comes?' I took an arrow from my quiver and inscribed it on my sword's sheath. When he finished reading my letter, he said, 'You have rights, and you are a messenger. If we had something that we could give you, we would have allowed it. We are a people returning from a pilgrimage.' A man from the people called out, 'I shall give it to him.' He opened his mount and brought out a yellow piece of cloth, which he placed in the corner. I asked, 'Who is the owner of this prize?' I was told, 'It is Uthman.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Which one of you will host this man?' A young man from the Ansar stood and the Ansar got up. I stood with them until I left the assembly area. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called me and said, 'Come, O Companion of Tanukh.' I approached him and leaned towards him until I was standing before him in my assembly area in front of him. He raised his garment off his back and said, 'Here, fulfill what you were commanded.' I leaned forward and found on his back a seal in the middle of his shoulder-blades like the size of a pigeon's egg.'

When the third day came, I began my preparations, but evening came and I had not finished. I said: 'Alas! The people have traveled for three days,' so I stayed behind. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived, people began making excuses to him.

مَا خَلَّفَكَ؟ أَلَمْ تَكُنْ قَدِ اسْتَمَرَّ ظَهْرُكَ؟ قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي لَوْ جَلَسْتُ عِنْدَ غَيْرِكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا لَرَأَيْتُ أَنِّي أَخْرُجُ مِنْ سَخْطَتِهِ بِعُذْرٍ، لَقَدْ أُعْطِيتُ جَدَلًا، وَلَكِنَّهُ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ لَئِنْ حَدَّثْتُكَ الْيَوْمَ حَدِيثَ كَذِبٍ تَرْضَى عَنِّي بِهِ لَيُوشِكَنَّ اللهُ تَعَالَى يُسْخِطُكَ عَلَيَّ، وَلَئِنْ حَدَّثْتُكَ الْيَوْمَ بِصِدْقٍ تَجِدُ عَلَيَّ فِيهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو قُرَّةَ عَيْنِي عَفْوًا مِنَ اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى، وَاللهِ مَا كَانَ لِي عُذْرٌ، وَاللهِ مَا كُنْتُ قَطُّ أَفْرَغَ وَلَا أَيْسَرَ مِنِّي حِينَ تَخَلَّفْتُ عَنْكَ. قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ صَدَقَ، فَقُمْ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ اللهُ تَعَالَى فِيكَ. فَقُمْتُ وَبَادَرَتْ رِجَالٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ فَاتَّبَعُونِي، فَقَالُوا لِي: وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْنَاكَ كُنْتَ أَذْنَبْتَ ذَنْبًا قَبْلَ هَذَا، وَلَقَدْ عَجَزْتَ أَنْ لَا تَكُونَ اعْتَذَرْتَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَا اعْتَذَرَ بِهِ الْمُتَخَلِّفُونَ، لَقَدْ كَانَ كَافِيَكَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ اسْتِغْفَارُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَكَ، قَالَ: فَوَاللهِ مَا زَالُوا يُؤَنِّبُونِي حَتَّى أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَرْجِعَ فَأُكَذِّبَ نَفْسِي، قَالَ: ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَهُمْ: هَلْ لَقِيَ هَذَا مَعِي أَحَدٌ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، لَقِيَهُ مَعَكَ رَجُلَانِ، قَالَا مَا قُلْتَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُمَا مِثْلُ مَا قِيلَ لَكَ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ: مَنْ هُمَا؟ قَالُوا: مُرَارَةُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ الْعَامِرِيُّ، وَهِلَالُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ الْوَاقِفِيُّ، قَالَ: فَذَكَرُوا لِي رَجُلَيْنِ صَالِحَيْنِ قَدْ شَهِدَا بَدْرًا، لِي فِيهِمَا أُسْوَةٌ، قَالَ: فَمَضَيْتُ حِينَ ذَكَرُوهُمَا لِي. قَالَ: وَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَنْ كَلَامِنَا أَيُّهَا الثَّلَاثَةُ مِنْ بَيْنِ مَنْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهُ، فَاجْتَنَبَنَا النَّاسُ. قَالَ: وَتَغَيَّرُوا لَنَا حَتَّى تَنَكَّرَتْ لِي مِنْ نَفْسِي الْأَرْضُ فَمَا هِيَ بِالْأَرْضِ الَّتِي كُنْتُ أَعْرِفُ، فَلَبِثْنَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ خَمْسِينَ لَيْلَةً. فَأَمَّا صَاحِبَايَ فَاسْتَكَنَا وَقَعَدَا فِي بُيُوتِهِمَا يَبْكِيَانِ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَكُنْتُ أَشَبَّ الْقَوْمِ وَأَجْلَدَهُمْ، فَكُنْتُ أَشْهَدُ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَأَطُوفُ بِالْأَسْوَاقِ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُنِي أَحَدٌ، وَآتِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ، فَأُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَقُولُ فِي نَفْسِي: حَرَّكَ شَفَتَيْهِ بِرَدِّ السَّلَامِ أَمْ لَا. ثُمَّ أُصَلِّي قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ وَأُسَارِقُهُ النَّظَرَ، فَإِذَا أَقْبَلْتُ عَلَى صَلَاتِي نَظَرَ إِلَيَّ، فَإِذَا الْتَفَتُّ نَحْوَهُ أَعْرَضَ. حَتَّى إِذَا طَالَ عَلَيَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ هَجْرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَشَيْتُ حَتَّى تَسَوَّرْتُ حَائِطَ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّي وَأَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ، فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَوَاللهِ مَا رَدَّ عَلَيَّ السَّلَامَ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يَا أَبَا قَتَادَةَ، أَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ، هَلْ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ؟ قَالَ: فَسَكَتَ. قَالَ: فَعُدْتُ فَنَشَدْتُهُ، فَسَكَتَ. فَعُدْتُ فَنَشَدْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ! فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَايَ، وَتَوَلَّيْتُ حَتَّى تَسَوَّرْتُ الْجِدَارَ. فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي بِسُوقِ الْمَدِينَةِ إِذَا نَبَطِيٌّ مِنْ أَنْبَاطِ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ مِمَّنْ قَدِمَ بِطَعَامٍ يَبِيعُهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ يَقُولُ: مَنْ يَدُلُّنِي عَلَى كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ؟ قَالَ: فَطَفِقَ النَّاسُ يُشِيرُونَ لَهُ إِلَيَّ حَتَّى جَاءَ، فَدَفَعَ إِلَيَّ كِتَابًا مِنْ مَلِكِ غَسَّانَ وَكُنْتُ كَاتِبًا، فَإِذَا فِيهِ: أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَقَدْ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ صَاحِبَكَ قَدْ جَفَاكَ، وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْكَ اللهُ بِدَارِ هَوَانٍ وَلَا مَضْيَعَةٍ، فَالْحَقْ بِنَا نُوَاسِكَ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ حِينَ قَرَأْتُهَا: وَهَذَا أَيْضًا مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ! قَالَ: فَتَيَمَّمْتُ بِهَا التَّنُّورَ فَسَجَرْتُهُ بِهَا. حَتَّى إِذَا مَضَتْ أَرْبَعُونَ لَيْلَةً مِنَ الْخَمْسِينَ إِذَا بِرَسُولِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْتِينِي، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تَعْتَزِلَ امْرَأَتَكَ قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: أُطَلِّقُهَا ؟ أَمْ مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ؟ قَالَ: بَلِ اعْتَزِلْهَا، فَلَا تَقْرَبْهَا. قَالَ: وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى صَاحِبَيَّ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لِامْرَأَتِي: الْحَقِي بِأَهْلِكِ، فَكُونِي عِنْدَهُمْ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ اللهُ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ. قَالَ: فَجَاءَتِ امْرَأَةُ هِلَالِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ هِلَالًا شَيْخٌ ضَائِعٌ، لَيْسَ لَهُ خَادِمٌ فَهَلْ تَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَخْدُمَهُ؟ قَالَ: لَا، وَلَكِنْ لَا يَقْرَبَنَّكِ، قَالَتْ: فَإِنَّهُ وَاللهِ مَا بِهِ حَرَكَةٌ إِلَى شَيْءٍ، وَاللهِ مَا يَزَالُ يَبْكِي مِنْ لَدُنْ أَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِكَ مَا كَانَ إِلَى يَوْمِهِ هَذَا. قَالَ: فَقَالَ لِي بَعْضُ أَهْلِي: لَوِ اسْتَأْذَنْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي امْرَأَتِكَ فَقَدْ أَذِنَ لِامْرَأَةِ هِلَالِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ أَنْ تَخْدُمَهُ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: وَاللهِ لَا أَسْتَأْذِنُ فِيهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا أَدْرِي مَا يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ. قَالَ: فَلَبِثْنَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَشْرَ لَيَالٍ كَمَالُ خَمْسِينَ لَيْلَةً حِينَ نَهَى عَنْ كَلَامِنَا. قَالَ: ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ صَبَاحَ خَمْسِينَ لَيْلَةً عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِنَا، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ عَلَى الْحَالِ الَّتِي ذَكَرَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى مِنَّا قَدْ ضَاقَتْ عَلَيَّ نَفْسِي وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيَّ الْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ، سَمِعْتُ صَارِخًا أَوْفَى عَلَى جَبَلِ سَلْعٍ يَقُولُ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ: يَا كَعْبُ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَبْشِرْ، قَالَ: فَخَرَرْتُ سَاجِدًا، وَعَرَفْتُ أَنْ قَدْ جَاءَ فَرَجٌ، وَآذَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِتَوْبَةِ اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَلَيْنَا حِينَ صَلَّى صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ فَذَهَبَ يُبَشِّرُونَنَا، وَذَهَبَ قِبَلَ صَاحِبَيَّ مُبَشِّرُونَ، وَرَكَضَ إِلَيَّ رَجُلٌ فَرَسًا وَسَعَى سَاعٍ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ وَأَوْفَى الْجَبَلَ، فَكَانَ الصَّوْتُ أَسْرَعَ مِنَ الْفَرَسِ. فَلَمَّا جَاءَنِي الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَهُ يُبَشِّرُنِي نَزَعْتُ لَهُ ثَوْبَيَّ فَكَسَوْتُهُمَا إِيَّاهُ بِبِشَارَتِهِ، وَاللهِ مَا أَمْلِكُ غَيْرَهُمَا يَوْمَئِذٍ. فَاسْتَعَرْتُ ثَوْبَيْنِ فَلَبِسْتُهُمَا، فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَؤُمُّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ. يَلْقَانِي النَّاسُ فَوْجًا فَوْجًا يُهَنِّئُونِي بِالتَّوْبَةِ، يَقُولُونَ: لِيَهْنِكَ تَوْبَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْكَ، حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَوْلَهُ النَّاسُ، فَقَامَ إِلَيَّ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ يُهَرْوِلُ حَتَّى صَافَحَنِي وَهَنَّأَنِي، وَاللهِ مَا قَامَ إِلَيَّ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ غَيْرُهُ، قَالَ: فَكَانَ كَعْبٌ لَا يَنْسَاهَا لِطَلْحَةَ. قَالَ كَعْبٌ: فَلَمَّا سَلَّمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ وَهُوَ يَبْرُقُ وَجْهُهُ مِنَ السُّرُورِ: أَبْشِرْ بِخَيْرِ يَوْمٍ مَرَّ عَلَيْكَ مُنْذُ وَلَدَتْكَ أُمُّكَ ! قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَمِنْ عِنْدِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ أَمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: لَا، بَلْ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سُرَّ اسْتَنَارَ وَجْهُهُ حَتَّى كَأَنَّهُ قِطْعَةُ قَمَرٍ حَتَّى يُعْرَفَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ. قَالَ: فَلَمَّا جَلَسْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللهِ تَعَالَى وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَمْسِكْ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: فَإِنِّي أُمْسِكُ سَهْمِي الَّذِي بِخَيْبَرَ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّمَا اللهُ تَعَالَى نَجَّانِي بِالصِّدْقِ، وَإِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ لَا أُحَدِّثَ إِلَّا صِدْقًا مَا بَقِيتُ، قَالَ: فَوَاللهِ مَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَبْلَاهُ اللهُ مِنَ الصِّدْقِ فِي الْحَدِيثِ مُذْ ذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَحْسَنَ مِمَّا أَبْلَانِي اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى، وَاللهِ مَا تَعَمَّدْتُ كَذِبَةً مُذْ قُلْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى يَوْمِي هَذَا، وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَحْفَظَنِي فِيمَا بَقِيَ. قَالَ: وَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: لَقَدْ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَالْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالأَنْصَارِ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُ فِي سَاعَةِ الْعُسْرَةِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا كَادَ يَزِيغُ قُلُوبُ فَرِيقٍ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّهُ بِهِمْ رَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ وَعَلَى الثَّلاثَةِ الَّذِينَ خُلِّفُوا حَتَّى إِذَا ضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ وَظَنُّوا أَنْ لا مَلْجَأَ مِنَ اللهِ إِلا إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَتُوبُوا إِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللهَ وَكُونُوا مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ. قَالَ كَعْبٌ: فَوَاللهِ مَا أَنْعَمَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَلَيَّ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ قَطُّ بَعْدَ أَنْ هَدَانِي أَعْظَمَ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْ صِدْقِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَنْ لَا أَكُونَ كَذَبْتُهُ فَأَهْلِكُ كَمَا هَلَكَ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوهُ حِينَ كَذَبُوهُ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَالَ لِلَّذِينَ كَذَبُوهُ حِينَ كَذَبُوهُ شَرَّ مَا يُقَالُ لِأَحَدٍ فَقَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: سَيَحْلِفُونَ بِاللهِ لَكُمْ إِذَا انْقَلَبْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لِتُعْرِضُوا عَنْهُمْ فَأَعْرِضُوا عَنْهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ رِجْسٌ وَمَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ يَحْلِفُونَ لَكُمْ لِتَرْضَوْا عَنْهُمْ فَإِنْ تَرْضَوْا عَنْهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللهَ لا يَرْضَى عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْفَاسِقِينَ. قَالَ: وَكُنَّا خُلِّفْنَا أَيُّهَا الثَّلَاثَةُ عَنْ أَمْرِ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ قَبِلَ مِنْهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ حَلَفُوا فَبَايَعَهُمْ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمْ، فَأَرْجَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمْرَنَا حَتَّى قَضَى اللهُ تَعَالَى فَبِذَلِكَ قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: وَعَلَى الثَّلاثَةِ الَّذِينَ خُلِّفُوا وَلَيْسَ تَخْلِيفُهُ إِيَّانَا وَإِرْجَاؤُهُ أَمْرَنَا الَّذِي ذَكَرَ مِمَّا خُلِّفْنَا بِتَخَلُّفِنَا عَنِ الْغَزْوِ، وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ عَمَّنْ حَلَفَ لَهُ وَاعْتَذَرَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَبِلَ مِنْهُ. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وما بين المعقوفين غير موجود في طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وفي طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة زيادة: قادما. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وفي طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة: يبشرون. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وفي طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة: لتهنك. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وفي طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة: إني.
✧ What kept you back? Had you not already made ready your mount? He said: I said: 'O Messenger of God, if I were sitting before anyone else from the people of this world, I would think that I could escape his displeasure with an excuse, for I have been given skill in argument. But by God, I know that if I told you today a lie that you would be pleased with, God would soon make you displeased with me, and if I told you today the truth, you would be angry with me for it, I hope for the delight of my eyes through forgiveness from God, Blessed and Exalted. By God, I had no excuse. By God, I was never stronger or more prosperous than when I stayed behind from you.' The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'As for this one, he has spoken the truth. Arise until God, Exalted, decides your case.' So I arose, and men of Banū Salimah hurried and followed me. They said to me: 'By God, we did not know you had committed any sin before this. You were unable to excuse yourself to the Messenger of God ﷺ with what those who stayed behind excused themselves. The Messenger of God's ﷺ seeking forgiveness for you would have sufficed for your sin.' He said: 'By God, they kept rebuking me until I wanted to go back and give the lie to myself.' He said: 'Then I said to them: Has anyone met with this along with me?' They said: 'Yes, two men met it with you, who said what you said, and it was said to them the like of what was said to you.' He said: 'I said to them: Who are they?' They said: 'Murārah b. al-Rabīʿ al-ʿĀmirī and Hilāl b. Umayyah al-Wāqifī.' He said: 'They mentioned to me two righteous men who had witnessed Badr, in whom I had a good example.' He said: 'So I went on when they mentioned them to me.' He said: 'The Messenger of God ﷺ forbade the Muslims from speaking to us, the three, from among those who stayed behind from him. So the people avoided us.' He said: 'They changed towards us until the earth became unrecognizable to me in my own eyes, not the earth I used to know. We remained in that state for fifty nights. As for my two companions, they submitted and stayed in their houses weeping. As for me, I was the youngest and most resilient of the people. I would attend prayer with the Muslims and roam the markets, but no one would speak to me. I would come to the Messenger of God ﷺ while he was in his gathering after prayer and greet him, and say to myself: Did he move his lips to return the greeting or not? Then I would pray near him and steal glances at him. When I turned to my prayer, he would look at me; when I turned towards him, he would turn away. Until when that prolonged from the Muslims' boycotting, I walked until I scaled the wall of Abū Qatādah, who was my cousin and the most beloved of people to me. I greeted him, and by God, he did not return my greeting. I said to him: 'O Abū Qatādah, I adjure you by God, do you know that I love God and His Messenger?' He said: 'He remained silent.' He said: 'I repeated the adjuration, and he remained silent. I repeated the adjuration, and he said: God and His Messenger know best!' My eyes overflowed, and I turned away until I scaled the wall. While I was walking in the market of Madinah, a Nabataean from the Nabataeans of al-Shām, one of those who had brought food to sell in Madinah, said: 'Who can direct me to Kaʿb b. Mālik?' He said: 'The people began pointing him to me until he came and handed me a letter from the king of Ghassān, for I was a scribe. In it was: 'To proceed: We have heard that your companion has treated you harshly, and God has not placed you in an abode of humiliation or ruin. Join us and we will console you.' He said: 'When I read it, I said: This too is from the trial!' He said: 'I took it to the oven and kindled the oven with it.' Until when forty nights of the fifty had passed, a messenger from the Messenger of God ﷺ came to me and said: 'The Messenger of God ﷺ commands you to withdraw from your wife.' He said: 'I said: Should I divorce her, or what should I do?' He said: 'Rather, withdraw from her, and do not approach her.' He said: 'He sent the like of that to my two companions.' He said: 'I said to my wife: Join your family and stay with them until God decides this matter.' He said: 'The wife of Hilāl b. Umayyah came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and said: O Messenger of God, Hilāl is a helpless old man with no servant. Would you dislike that I serve him?' He said: 'No, but he must not approach you.' She said: 'By God, he has no inclination towards anything. By God, he has not stopped weeping from the time your matter occurred until this day of his.' He said: 'Some of my family said to me: If only you would seek permission of the Messenger of God ﷺ concerning your wife, for he permitted the wife of Hilāl b. Umayyah to serve him.' He said: 'I said: By God, I will not seek permission concerning her from the Messenger of God ﷺ, and I do not know what the Messenger of God ﷺ would say if I sought permission, for I am a young man.' He said: 'We remained after that ten nights, completing fifty nights since he forbade speaking to us.' He said: 'Then I prayed the dawn prayer on the morning of the fiftieth night on a roof of one of our houses. While I was sitting in the condition God, Blessed and Exalted, mentioned of us, my soul constrained and the earth constrained despite its vastness, I heard a crier on top of Mount Salʿ saying at the top of his voice: O Kaʿb b. Mālik, rejoice!' He said: 'I fell down in prostration, and I knew that relief had come. The Messenger of God ﷺ had announced at dawn prayer that God, Blessed and Exalted, had accepted our repentance, so people went to give us glad tidings. Some went to my two companions to give glad tidings, and a man galloped a horse to me, and a runner from Aslam hurried, and the one on the mountain topped it. The voice was swifter than the horse. When the one whose voice I had heard came to me with glad tidings, I took off my two garments and gave them to him for his good news. By God, I owned nothing else that day. I borrowed two garments and put them on, and set off making my way to the Messenger of God ﷺ. People met me in groups, congratulating me on the repentance, saying: May God's repentance to you be pleasing! Until I entered the mosque, and there was the Messenger of God ﷺ sitting in the mosque with people around him. Ṭalḥah b. ʿUbayd Allāh stood up to me, hurrying until he shook my hand and congratulated me. By God, no man from the Emigrants stood up to me other than him.' He said: 'Kaʿb never forgot it of Ṭalḥah.' Kaʿb said: 'When I greeted the Messenger of God ﷺ, he said while his face was radiant with joy: Rejoice in the best day that has passed over you since your mother gave birth to you!' He said: 'I said: From you, O Messenger of God, or from God?' He said: 'No, rather from God.' He said: 'When the Messenger of God ﷺ was pleased, his face would shine as if it were a piece of the moon, until that was recognizable from him.' He said: 'When I sat before him, I said: O Messenger of God, part of my repentance is that I divest myself of my wealth as charity to God, Exalted, and to His Messenger. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: Keep some of your wealth, for it is better for you.' He said: 'I said: Then I will keep my share at Khaybar.' He said: 'I said: O Messenger of God, God, Exalted, saved me only through truthfulness, and part of my repentance is that I will never speak anything but truth as long as I live.' He said: 'By God, I do not know anyone among the Muslims whom God has tested with truthfulness in speech since I said that to the Messenger of God ﷺ better than what God, Blessed and Exalted, has tested me with. By God, I have not deliberately uttered a lie since I said that to the Messenger of God ﷺ to this day of mine, and I hope that He will preserve me in what remains.' He said: 'God, Blessed and Exalted, revealed: God has turned in mercy to the Prophet and the Emigrants and the Helpers who followed him in the hour of hardship, after the hearts of a party of them had almost swerved; then He turned to them in mercy; indeed He is to them Kind, Merciful. And to the three who were left behind, until, when the earth became straitened for them despite its vastness, and their own souls became straitened for them, and they were certain that there is no refuge from God except in Him; then He turned to them in mercy, that they might repent; indeed God is the Oft-Returning, Merciful. O you who believe, fear God and be with the truthful.' Kaʿb said: 'By God, God, Blessed and Exalted, has not bestowed on me any blessing after He guided me that is greater in my own eyes than my truthfulness to the Messenger of God ﷺ on that day, that I did not lie to him and thus perish as those who lied to him perished when they lied to him. Indeed, God, Blessed and Exalted, said concerning those who lied to him when they lied, the worst thing said to anyone. God, Exalted, said: They will swear by God to you when you return to them, that you may turn away from them. So turn away from them; indeed they are filth, and their abode is Hell, as a recompense for what they used to earn. They swear to you so that you may be pleased with them. But even if you are pleased with them, God is not pleased with the defiantly disobedient people.' He said: 'We three were left behind, apart from the affair of those from whom the Messenger of God ﷺ accepted when they swore oaths, for he pledged allegiance to them and sought forgiveness for them. The Messenger of God ﷺ deferred our affair until God, Exalted, decided. Thus God, Exalted, said: And to the three who were left behind. His leaving us behind and deferring our affair, which He mentioned, is not about our being left behind by staying away from the raid; rather, it is about those who swore to him and excused themselves to him, and he accepted from them.'
Musnad Ahmad 15790Sahih
لَمْ أَتَخَلَّفْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا قَطُّ إِلَّا فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ غَيْرَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ تَخَلَّفْتُ عَنْ غَزْوَةِ بَدْرٍ وَلَمْ يُعَاتِبْ أَحَدًا تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهَا؛ لِأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُرِيدُ الْعِيرَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ لِقُرَيْشٍ كَانَ فِيهَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَنَفَرٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ.
✧ I never stayed behind from the Messenger of God ﷺ in any raid he undertook except the raid of Tabūk. However, I had stayed behind from the raid of Badr, and he did not reproach anyone who stayed behind from it, because the Messenger of God ﷺ only set out intending the caravan that belonged to Quraysh, in which were Abū Sufyān b. Ḥarb and a few men of Quraysh.
Musnad Ahmad 15791Sahih
أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ فَلَقِيَهُ فَلَزِمَهُ، حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَتِ الْأَصْوَاتُ، فَمَرَّ بِهِمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا كَعْبُ فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ كَأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ: النِّصْفُ. فَأَخَذَ نِصْفًا مِمَّا عَلَيْهِ وَتَرَكَ النِّصْفَ.
ʿAbdullah bin Abu Hadrad Al-Aslami owed Kaʿb bin Malik some money. One day the latter met the former and demanded his right, and their voices grew very loud. The Prophet ﷺ passed by them and said, "O Kaʿb," beckoning with his hand as if intending to say, "Deduct half the debts." So, Kaʿb took half what the other owed him and remitted the other half. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2706)
Musnad Ahmad 15792Sahih
إِنَّمَا نَسَمَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ طَيْرٌ يَعْلُقُ فِي شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ، حَتَّى يُرْجِعَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى جَسَدِهِ يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُ.
✧ The believer's soul is a bird that clings to the trees of Paradise until God, Exalted, returns it to its body on the day He resurrects him.
Musnad Ahmad 15793Sahih
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَهُ وَأَوْسَ بْنَ الْحَدَثَانِ فِي أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ، فَنَادَيَا أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ، وَأَيَّامُ مِنًى أَيَّامُ أَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ.
✧ That the Messenger of God ﷺ sent him and Aws b. al-Ḥadathān during the days of tashrīq, and they called out: No one will enter Paradise except a believer, and the days of Minā are days of eating and drinking.
Musnad Ahmad 15794Sahih
مَا ذِئْبَانِ جَائِعَانِ أُرْسِلَا فِي غَنَمٍ بِأَفْسَدَ لَهَا مِنْ حِرْصِ الْمَرْءِ عَلَى الْمَالِ وَالشَّرَفِ لِدِينِهِ.
✧ Two hungry wolves sent among a flock of sheep are not more destructive to it than a man's eagerness for wealth and honor is to his religion.
Musnad Ahmad 15795Hasan
كَانَ النَّاسُ فِي رَمَضَانَ إِذَا صَامَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَمْسَى فَنَامَ حَرُمَ عَلَيْهِ الطَّعَامُ وَالشَّرَابُ وَالنِّسَاءُ حَتَّى يُفْطِرَ مِنَ الْغَدِ، فَرَجَعَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ، وَقَدْ سَهِرَ عِنْدَهُ، فَوَجَدَ امْرَأَتَهُ قَدْ نَامَتْ، فَأَرَادَهَا، فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي قَدْ نِمْتُ، قَالَ: مَا نِمْتِ، ثُمَّ وَقَعَ بِهَا، وَصَنَعَ كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَغَدَا عُمَرُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: عَلِمَ اللهُ أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَخْتَانُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَعَفَا عَنْكُمْ.
✧ The people in Ramadan, when a man fasted and then evening came and he slept, food, drink, and women became forbidden to him until he broke his fast the next day. 'Umar b. al-Khattab returned from the Prophet ﷺ one night, having stayed up with him, and found his wife asleep. He desired her, but she said, "I have slept." He said, "You have not slept," and then had intercourse with her. Ka'b b. Malik did the same. Then 'Umar went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him, and Allah the Exalted revealed: "Allah knows that you used to deceive yourselves, so He turned to you and forgave you."
Musnad Ahmad 15796Hasan
اهْجُوا بِالشِّعْرِ، إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُجَاهِدُ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ كَأَنَّمَا تَنْضَحُونَهُمْ بِالنَّبْلِ.
✧ Satirize with poetry, for the believer strives with his self and his wealth. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, it is as if you are pelting them with arrows.
Musnad Ahmad 15797Hasan
مَنْ عَادَ مَرِيضًا خَاضَ فِي الرَّحْمَةِ، فَإِذَا جَلَسَ عِنْدَهُ اسْتَنْقَعَ فِيهَا، وَقَدِ اسْتَنْقَعْتُمْ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ فِي الرَّحْمَةِ.
✧ Whoever visits a sick person plunges into mercy, and when he sits with him, he is immersed in it. You have been immersed, if Allah wills, in mercy.
