وَوُجِدَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَتِيلًا فِي قَلِيبٍ مِنْ قُلُبِ خَيْبَرَ، فَجَاءَ عَمَّاهُ وَأَخُوهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، أَخُوهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، وَعَمَّاهُ: حُوَيِّصَةُ، وَمُحَيِّصَةُ، فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَتَكَلَّمُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: " الْكُبْرَ، الْكُبْرَ ". فَتَكَلَّمَ أَحَدُ عَمَّيْهِ، إِمَّا حُوَيِّصَةُ، وَإِمَّا مُحَيِّصَةُ. قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: نَسِيتُ أَيُّهُمَا الْكَبِيرُ مِنْهُمَا، فَقَالَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا عَبْدَ اللهِ قَتِيلًا فِي قَلِيبٍ مِنْ قُلُبِ خَيْبَرَ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ يَهُودَ وَشَرَّهُمْ وَعَدَاوَتَهُمْ. قَالَ: لِيُقْسِمْ مِنْكُمْ خَمْسُونَ أَنَّ يَهُودَ قَتَلَتْهُ قَالُوا: كَيْفَ نُقْسِمُ عَلَى مَا لَمْ نَرَ ؟ قَالَ: " فَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ يَحْلِفُونَ أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَقْتُلُوهُ "، قَالُوا: كَيْفَ نَرْضَى بِأَيْمَانِهِمْ وَهُمْ مُشْرِكُونَ ؟ قَالَ: فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ، فَرَكَضَتْنِي بَكْرَةٌ مِنْهَا
✧ ‘Abdullah b. Sahl of the Ansar was found slain in a well among the wells of Khaybar. His paternal uncles and his brother came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ — his brother ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Sahl and his paternal uncles Huwayyisah and Muhayyisah. ‘Abd al-Rahman went to speak before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but he said: “The elder, the elder.” So one of his paternal uncles spoke, either Huwayyisah or Muhayyisah. Sufyan said: I forgot which of them was the elder. They said: “O Messenger of Allah, we found ‘Abdullah slain in a well among the wells of Khaybar.” Then he mentioned the Jews, their evil and their enmity. He said: “Let fifty of you swear that the Jews killed him.” They said: “How can we swear about what we did not see?” He said: “Then let the Jews exonerate themselves with fifty oaths that they did not kill him.” They said: “How can we accept their oaths when they are polytheists?” He said: So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ paid his blood money from his own resources. A young she-camel from them kicked me.

✧ ‘Abdullah b. Sahl, brother of Banu Harithah, went out with a group of Banu Harithah to Khaybar to buy dates from there. ‘Abdullah b. Sahl was attacked, his neck was broken, then he was thrown into a canal of the canals of Khaybar's springs. His companions missed him, searched for him until they found him, and then buried him. Then they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. His brother ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Sahl came forward, along with his paternal cousins Huwayyisah and Muhayyisah, who were older than ‘Abd al-Rahman. ‘Abd al-Rahman was the foremost of the people and the claimant of the blood, so he advanced and spoke to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ before his paternal cousins Huwayyisah and Muhayyisah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The elder, the elder.” So ‘Abd al-Rahman stepped back, Huwayyisah spoke, then Muhayyisah spoke, then ‘Abd al-Rahman spoke. They said: “O Messenger of Allah, our companion was attacked and killed, and we have no enemy in Khaybar except the Jews.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Name your killer, then swear fifty oaths against him, then you may take him.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, we cannot swear about what we did not witness.” He said: “Then let them swear fifty oaths to you and be absolved of your companion's blood.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, we cannot accept the oaths of the Jews, for the disbelief they are in is greater than that they would swear falsely on a sin.” So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ paid his blood money from his own resources: one hundred camels. Sahl said: By Allah, I will never forget a red young she-camel from them that kicked me while I was gathering them.
Musnad Ahmad 16097Sahih

إِنَّا لَبِمَكَّةَ إِذْ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، فَنَهَى عَنِ التَّمَتُّعِ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ، وَأَنْكَرَ أَنْ يَكُونَ النَّاسُ صَنَعُوا ذَلِكَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ: وَمَا عِلْمُ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بِهَذَا، فَلْيَرْجِعْ إِلَى أُمِّهِ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، فَلْيَسْأَلْهَا، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الزُّبَيْرُ قَدْ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهَا حَلَالًا وَحَلَّتْ. فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ أَسْمَاءَ فَقَالَتْ: يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَاللهِ لَقَدْ أَفْحَشَ، قَدْ وَاللهِ صَدَقَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: لَقَدْ حَلُّوا وَأَحْلَلْنَا، وَأَصَابُوا النِّسَاءَ
✧ "That people did such a thing with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Abdullah Ibn Abbas heard about it and said: 'And what does Ibn Zubayr know about this? Let him return to his mother Asma bint Abi Bakr and ask her. If Zubayr did not return to her lawfully and they consummated the marriage, then it would be permissible'. So, this was conveyed to Asma, and she said: 'May Allah forgive Ibn Abbas! By Allah, he has spoken the truth. They married and consummated the marriage, and they had sexual relations with the women.'"

Sa'id said to Abd Allah b. al-Zubayr, "Here?" He replied, "No. The judgment of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, or the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, is that the two litigants sit before the judge."
Musnad Ahmad 16105Sahih
كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ يَقُولُ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ حِينَ يُسَلِّمُ: " لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَلَا نَعْبُدُ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ، وَلَهُ النِّعْمَةُ، وَلَهُ الْفَضْلُ، وَلَهُ الثَّنَاءُ الْحَسَنُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ قَالَ: وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُهَلِّلُ بِهِنَّ دُبُرَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ
✧ Abd Allah b. al-Zubayr used to say after every prayer when he said the salam: "There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is over all things powerful. There is no might and no power except with Allah. There is no god but Allah, and we worship none but Him. His is the blessing, His is the favor, and His is the excellent praise. There is no god but Allah, making the religion purely for Him, even if the disbelievers hate it." He said: And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to proclaim these phrases after every prayer.
Musnad Ahmad 16106Sahih
فَمَا كَانَ عُمَرُ يُسْمِعُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ حَتَّى يَسْتَفْهِمَهُ يَعْنِي قَوْلَهُ تَعَالَى: لا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ.

✧ I was sitting with Abd Allah b. Utbah b. Mas'ud—and Ibn al-Zubayr had appointed him to the judiciary—when a letter from Ibn al-Zubayr came to him: Peace be upon you. To proceed: You wrote asking me about the grandfather. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If I were to take a close friend from this nation besides my Lord, Mighty and Majestic, I would have taken Ibn Abi Quhafah, but he is my brother in the religion and my companion in the cave." He made the grandfather a father. And the most rightful thing we have adopted is the saying of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq.

✧ Qutaylah, the daughter of Abdul-Uzza bin Abd As'ad from the Banu Malik bin Hasal tribe, came to visit her daughter Asma, the daughter of Abu Bakr, bringing gifts of lizards, oak, and clarified butter, while she was still a polytheist. However, Asma refused to accept her gifts or allow her into her house. Aisha then asked the Prophet ﷺ about this, and Allah ﷻ revealed the verse {Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion} [Al-Mumtahanah 8] to the end of the verse. Therefore, the Prophet ﷺ instructed her to accept her mother's gifts and allow her into her house.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، أَلَا إِنِّي قَدْ خَبَّأْتُ لَكُمْ صَوْتِي مُنْذُ أَرْبَعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، أَلَا لَأُسْمِعَنَّكُمْ، أَلَا فَهَلْ مِنِ امْرِئٍ بَعَثَهُ قَوْمُهُ ؟ فَقَالُوا: اعْلَمْ لَنَا مَا يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، أَلَا ثُمَّ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يُلْهِيَهُ حَدِيثُ نَفْسِهِ، أَوْ حَدِيثُ صَاحِبِهِ، أَوْ يُلْهِيَهُ الضُّلَّالُ، أَلَا إِنِّي مَسْؤُولٌ، هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ ؟ أَلَا اسْمَعُوا تَعِيشُوا، أَلَا اجْلِسُوا أَلَا اجْلِسُوا. قَالَ: فَجَلَسَ النَّاسُ وَقُمْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبِي حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ لَنَا فُؤَادُهُ وَبَصَرُهُ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا عِنْدَكَ مِنْ عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ ؟ فَضَحِكَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ، وَهَزَّ رَأْسَهُ، وَعَلِمَ أَنِّي أَبْتَغِي لِسَقَطِهِ فَقَالَ: ضَنَّ رَبُّكَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِمَفَاتِيحِ خَمْسٍ مِنَ الْغَيْبِ لَا يَعْلَمُهَا إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ قُلْتُ وَمَا هِيَ ؟ قَالَ: عِلْمُ الْمَنِيَّةِ، قَدْ عَلِمَ مَتَى مَنِيَّةَ أَحَدِكُمْ وَلَا تَعْلَمُونَهُ، وَعِلْمُ الْمَنِيِّ حِينَ يَكُونُ فِي الرَّحِمِ، قَدْ عَلِمَهُ وَلَا تَعْلَمُونَهُ، وَعَلْمُ مَا فِي غَدٍ [ قَدْ عَلِمَ ] مَا أَنْتَ طَاعِمٌ غَدًا وَلَا تَعْلَمُهُ، وَعِلْمُ يَوْمِ الْغَيْثِ، يُشْرِفُ عَلَيْكُمْ آزِلِينَ آزِلِينَ مُشْفِقِينَ، فَيَظَلُّ يَضْحَكُ، قَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ غِيَرَكُمْ إِلَى قُرْبٍ قَالَ لَقِيطٌ: قُلْتُ: لَنْ نَعْدَمَ مِنْ رَبٍّ يَضْحَكُ خَيْرًا، وَعِلْمُ يَوْمِ السَّاعَةِ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، عَلِّمْنَا مِمَّا تُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ وَمَا تَعْلَمُ، فَإِنَّا مِنْ قَبِيلٍ لَا يُصَدِّقُ تَصْدِيقَنَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ مَذْحِجٍ الَّتِي تَرْبَأُ عَلَيْنَا، وَخَثْعَمَ الَّتِي تُوَالِينَا، وَعَشِيرَتِنَا الَّتِي نَحْنُ مِنْهَا. قَالَ: تَلْبَثُونَ مَا لَبِثْتُمْ، ثُمَّ يُتَوَفَّى نَبِيُّكُمْ، ثُمَّ تَلْبَثُونَ مَا لَبِثْتُمْ، ثُمَّ تُبْعَثُ الصَّائِحَةُ لَعَمْرُ إِلَهِكَ مَا تَدَعُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا مَاتَ، وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ الَّذِينَ مَعَ رَبِّكَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَأَصْبَحَ رَبُّكَ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] يَطُوفُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْبِلَادُ، فَأَرْسَلَ رَبُّكَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ السَّمَاءَ تَهْضِبُ مِنْ عِنْدِ الْعَرْشِ، فَلَعَمْرُ إِلَهِكَ مَا تَدَعُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهَا مِنْ مَصْرَعِ قَتِيلٍ، وَلَا مَدْفَنِ مَيِّتٍ إِلَّا شَقَّتِ الْقَبْرَ عَنْهُ، حَتَّى تَجْعَلَهُ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَأْسِهِ فَيَسْتَوِي جَالِسًا، فَيَقُولُ رَبُّكَ: مَهْيَمْ، لِمَا كَانَ فِيهِ، يَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ أَمْسِ، الْيَوْمَ وَلِعَهْدِهِ بِالْحَيَاةِ يَحْسَبُهُ حَدِيثًا بِأَهْلِهِ. فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كَيْفَ يَجْمَعُنَا بَعْدَمَا تُمَزِّقُنَا الرِّيَاحُ وَالْبِلَى وَالسِّبَاعُ ؟ قَالَ: أُنَبِّئُكَ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ فِي آلَاءِ اللهِ، الْأَرْضُ أَشْرَفْتُ عَلَيْهَا، وَهِيَ مَدَرَةٌ بَالِيَةٌ، فَقُلْتَ: لَا تَحْيَا أَبَدًا، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ رَبُّكَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْهَا السَّمَاءَ، فَلَمْ تَلْبَثْ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا أَيَّامًا حَتَّى أَشْرَفْتُ عَلَيْهَا وَهِيَ شَرْيَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ، وَلَعَمْرُ إِلَهِكَ لَهُوَ أَقْدَرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَجْمَعَهُمْ مِنَ الْمَاءِ عَلَى أَنْ يَجْمَعَ نَبَاتَ الْأَرْضِ، فَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَصْوَاءِ وَمِنْ مَصَارِعِهِمْ، فَتَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَيَنْظُرُ إِلَيْكُمْ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَكَيْفَ وَنَحْنُ مِلْءُ الْأَرْضِ وَهُوَ شَخْصٌ وَاحِدٌ نَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَيَنْظُرُ إِلَيْنَا ؟ قَالَ: أُنَبِّئُكَ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ فِي آلَاءِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ آيَةٌ مِنْهُ صَغِيرَةٌ تَرَوْنَهُمَا وَيَرَيَانِكُمْ سَاعَةً وَاحِدَةً، لَا تُضَارُّونَ فِي رُؤْيَتِهِمَا، وَلَعَمْرُ إِلَهِكَ لَهُوَ أَقْدَرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَرَاكُمْ وَتَرَوْنَهُ مِنْ أَنْ تَرَوْنَهُمَا وَيَرَيَانِكُمْ، لَا تُضَارُّونَ فِي رُؤْيَتِهِمَا قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَمَا يَفْعَلُ بِنَا رَبُّنَا عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِذَا لَقِينَاهُ ؟ قَالَ: تُعْرَضُونَ عَلَيْهِ بَادِيَةٌ لَهُ صَفَحَاتُكُمْ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ مِنْكُمْ خَافِيَةٌ، فَيَأْخُذُ رَبُّكَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِيَدِهِ غَرْفَةً مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَيَنْضَحُ قَبِيلَكُمْ بِهَا، فَلَعَمْرُ إِلَهِكَ مَا تُخْطِئُ وَجْهَ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنْهَا قَطْرَةٌ، فَأَمَّا الْمُسْلِمُ فَتَدَعُ وَجْهَهُ مِثْلَ الرَّيْطَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ، وَأَمَّا الْكَافِرُ فَتَخْطِمُهُ بِمِثْلِ الْحَمِيمِ الْأَسْوَدِ، أَلَا ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ نَبِيُّكُمْ، وَيَفْتَرِقُ عَلَى إِثْرِهِ الصَّالِحُونَ، فَيَسْلُكُونَ جِسْرًا مِنَ النَّارِ، فَيَطَأُ أَحَدُكُمُ الْجَمْرَ فَيَقُولُ: حَسِّ، يَقُولُ رَبُّكَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَوَانُهُ. أَلَا فَتَطَّلِعُونَ عَلَى حَوْضِ الرَّسُولِ عَلَى أَظْمَإِ - وَاللهِ - نَاهِلَةٍ قَطُّ مَا رَأَيْتُهَا، فَلَعَمْرُ إِلَهِكَ مَا يَبْسُطُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْكُمْ يَدَهُ إِلَّا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا قَدَحٌ يُطَهِّرُهُ مِنَ الطَّوْفِ وَالْبَوْلِ وَالْأَذَى. وَتُحْبَسُ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ، وَلَا تَرَوْنَ مِنْهُمَا وَاحِدًا. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَبِمَا نُبْصِرُ ؟ قَالَ: بِمِثْلِ بَصَرِكَ سَاعَتَكَ هَذِهِ، وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ فِي يَوْمٍ أَشْرَقَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَاجَهَتْ بِهِ الْجِبَالَ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَبِمَا نُجْزَى مِنْ سَيِّئَاتِنَا وَحَسَنَاتِنَا ؟ قَالَ: الْحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا، وَالسَّيِّئَةُ بِمِثْلِهَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَعْفُوَ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَمَّا الْجَنَّةُ أَمَّا النَّارُ قَالَ: لَعَمْرُ إِلَهِكَ إِنَّ لِلنَّارِ لَسَبْعَةَ أَبْوَابٍ مَا مِنْهُنَّ بَابَانِ إِلَّا يَسِيرُ الرَّاكِبُ بَيْنَهُمَا سَبْعِينَ عَامًا، وَإِنَّ لِلْجَنَّةِ لَثَمَانِيَةَ أَبْوَابٍ مَا مِنْهُمَا بَابَانِ إِلَّا يَسِيرُ الرَّاكِبُ بَيْنَهُمَا سَبْعِينَ عَامًا. قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَعَلَى مَا نَطَّلِعُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ ؟ قَالَ: عَلَى أَنْهَارٍ مِنْ عَسَلٍ مُصَفًّى، وَأَنْهَارٍ مِنْ كَأْسٍ مَا بِهَا مِنْ صُدَاعٍ وَلَا نَدَامَةٍ، وَأَنْهَارٍ مِنْ لَبَنٍ لَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ طَعْمُهُ، وَمَاءٍ غَيْرِ آسِنٍ، وَبِفَاكِهَةٍ، لَعَمْرُ إِلَهِكَ مَا تَعْلَمُونَ وَخَيْرٌ مِنْ مِثْلِهِ مَعَهُ، وَأَزْوَاجٌ مُطَهَّرَةٌ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَوَلَنَا فِيهَا أَزْوَاجٌ، أَوَمِنْهُنَّ مُصْلِحَاتٌ ؟ قَالَ: الصَّالِحَاتُ لِلصَّالِحِينَ تَلَذُّونَهُنَّ مِثْلَ لَذَّاتِكُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَيَلْذَذْنَ بِكُمْ غَيْرَ أَنْ لَا تَوَالُدَ. قَالَ لَقِيطٌ: فَقُلْتُ: أَقْصَى مَا نَحْنُ بَالِغُونَ وَمُنْتَهُونَ إِلَيْهِ ؟ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، عَلَى مَا أُبَايِعُكَ ؟ قَالَ: فَبَسَطَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ وَقَالَ: عَلَى إِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ، وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ، وَزِيَالِ الْمُشْرِكِ، وَأَنْ لَا تُشْرِكَ بِاللهِ إِلَهًا غَيْرَهُ. قُلْتُ: وَإِنَّ لَنَا مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ ؟ فَقَبَضَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ، وَظَنَّ أَنِّي مُشْتَرِطٌ شَيْئًا لَا يُعْطِينِيهِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَحِلُّ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْنَا وَلَا يَجْنِي [عَلَى امْرِئٍ] إِلَّا عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَبَسَطَ يَدَهُ، وَقَالَ: ذَلِكَ لَكَ، تَحُلُّ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ وَلَا يَجْنِي عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا نَفْسُكَ قَالَ: فَانْصَرَفْنَا عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَيْنِ لَعَمْرُ إِلَهِكَ مِنْ أَتْقَى النَّاسِ فِي الْأُولَى وَالْآخِرَةِ. فَقَالَ لَهُ كَعْبُ ابْنُ الْخُدَارِيَّةِ؛ أَحَدُ بَنِي بَكْرِ بْنِ كِلَابٍ: مَنْ هُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: بَنُو الْمُنْتَفِقِ أَهْلُ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: فَانْصَرَفْنَا، وَأَقْبَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَلْ لِأَحَدٍ مِمَّنْ مَضَى مِنْ خَيْرٍ فِي جَاهِلِيَّتِهِمْ: قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ عُرْضِ قُرَيْشٍ: وَاللهِ إِنَّ أَبَاكَ الْمُنْتَفِقَ لَفِي النَّارِ، قَالَ: فَلَكَأَنَّهُ وَقَعَ حَرٌّ بَيْنَ جِلْدِي وَوَجْهِي وَلَحْمِي مِمَّا قَالَ لِأَبِي عَلَى رُءُوسِ النَّاسِ، فَهَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ: وَأَبُوكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ ثُمَّ إِذَا الْأُخْرَى أَجْمَلُ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَأَهْلُكَ ؟ قَالَ: وَأَهْلِي، لَعَمْرُ اللهِ مَا أَتَيْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ قَبْرِ عَامِرِيٍّ أَوْ قُرَشِيٍّ مِنْ مُشْرِكٍ فَقُلْ: أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ مُحَمَّدٌ، فَأُبَشِّرُكَ بِمَا يَسُوؤُكَ، تُجَرُّ عَلَى وَجْهِكَ وَبَطْنِكَ فِي النَّارِ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا فَعَلَ بِهِمْ ذَلِكَ وَقَدْ كَانُوا عَلَى عَمَلٍ لَا يُحْسِنُونَ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ، وَكَانُوا يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ مُصْلِحُونَ ؟ قَالَ: ذَلِكَ لِأَنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بَعَثَ فِي آخِرِ كُلِّ سَبْعِ أُمَمٍ - يَعْنِي - نَبِيًّا، فَمَنْ عَصَى نَبِيَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ، وَمَنْ أَطَاعَ نَبِيَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ. 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: شربة. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وفي طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة زيادة: عليها. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وفي طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة: وأجهت. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وفي طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة: أو منهن. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وفي طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة: تلذونهم. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وفي طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة: امرؤ.
✧ A foundling came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ along with his companion, who was called Nuhayk ibn 'Asim ibn Malik ibn al-Muntafiq. The foundling said, "I left with my companion until we reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in order to denounce al-Nasila during Rajab. We arrived to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and met him when he finished his morning prayer. Then, he stood up among the people as a speaker, and said, 'O people, behold, I have hidden my voice from you for four days! I assure you that I will make you hear it. Is there anyone among you who has been sent by his people?' They replied, 'We know what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ says. Perhaps he is occupied with his own speech, or the speech of his companion, or perhaps he is occupied by the devils.' I said, 'I am here to fulfill your request. I have something to say to you.' Then, the people sat down, and I and my companion remained standing until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was finished with us. Then, he laughed and shook his head, indicating that he knew I was seeking information about my lineage. He said, 'Your Lord has five keys to the unseen which only He knows. He gestured with his hand and I said, 'What are they?' He said, 'The knowledge of the hour of death, He knows when the semen forms in the womb, and when it will be placed in the womb. He knows what will happen tomorrow. He knows whether or not you will eat tomorrow, and knows when the rain will fall. He endows the afflicted ones of His subjects to seek refuge from Him in hope, fear, and sadness.' Then he continued laughing, showing that he knew his close ones were nearby. The foundling said, 'I said, 'We will never be deprived of someone who laughs well.' Then he added, 'And He knows the Day of Judgment!' I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, teach me what you teach the people, and what you know that we don't know. We are from a region where nobody believes us.' He replied, 'You will live for as long as you have lived thus far, then your Prophet will come to you and you will live again. After that, you will be revived and witness the Resurrection, and then it will be sent forth, the shout of horror by the god (Allah), on whose back nothing exists but death, whether it is a killer carrying something or a tight clay coffin, until the grave splits open from the head of the prophet and his sat down and said, 'Your Lord wanders around the earth while the towns stood on its edge.' Then He sent out His Lord, the Sky, so they appeared magnificent, but it is as if He imagined on His back prevention murder or a grave of death, only the grave is separated from the head until it becomes equal in size and then, he would sit down. I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, how will He gather us after we have been dispersed by the winds, disasters, and wild animals?' He asked, 'Do you want me to tell you something similar? When Allah's Earth appears as a crushed grape, you will say, "Never, eternal life!", but then Allah will send His sky over you, and you will not live long after that until Allah's sky appears to you as one gulp, and I swear by Allah, your God is more capable of gathering you from water than gathering the plants of the Earth and bringing you out of the
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ دَعَا عَشِيَّةَ عَرَفَةَ لِأُمَّتِهِ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ، فَأَكْثَرَ الدُّعَاءَ، فَأَجَابَهُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ، وَغَفَرْتُ لِأُمَّتِكَ إِلَّا مَنْ ظَلَمَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا، فَقَالَ: يَا رَبِّ إِنَّكَ قَادِرٌ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِلظَّالِمِ، وَتُثِيبَ الْمَظْلُومَ خَيْرًا مِنْ مَظْلَمَتِهِ " فَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي تِلْكَ الْعَشِيَّةِ إِلَّا ذَا، فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ، دَعَا غَدَاةَ الْمُزْدَلِفَةِ، فَعَادَ يَدْعُو لِأُمَّتِهِ، فَلَمْ يَلْبَثِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ تَبَسَّمَ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي، ضَحِكْتَ فِي سَاعَةٍ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَضْحَكُ فِيهَا، فَمَا أَضْحَكَكَ، أَضْحَكَ اللهُ سِنَّكَ ؟ قَالَ: " تَبَسَّمْتُ مِنْ عَدُوِّ اللهِ إِبْلِيسَ حِينَ عَلِمَ أَنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدِ اسْتَجَابَ لِي فِي أُمَّتِي، وَغَفَرَ لِلظَّالِمِ، أَهْوَى يَدْعُو بِالثُّبُورِ وَالْوَيْلِ، وَيَحْثُو التُّرَابَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، فَتَبَسَّمْتُ مِمَّا يَصْنَعُ جَزَعُهُ
✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ supplicated on the evening of ʿArafah for his community, asking for forgiveness and mercy. He made much supplication. God, Mighty and Majestic, answered him: “I have done so, and I have forgiven your community, except those who wrong one another.” He said: “O Lord, You are able to forgive the wrongdoer and reward the wronged with something better than the injustice done to him.” That evening nothing more came. When it was the next day, he supplicated in the morning of Muzdalifah, and again he prayed for his community. The Prophet ﷺ did not wait long before he smiled. Some of his companions said: O Messenger of God, may my father and mother be your ransom, you smiled at a time you were not smiling. What made you smile? May God make your teeth smile. He said: “I smiled at God’s enemy Iblīs, when he knew that God, Mighty and Majestic, had answered me for my community and forgiven the wrongdoer. He fell down calling for destruction and woe, throwing dust on his head. I smiled at what his anxiety made him do.”

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ بِجَمْعٍ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، جِئْتُكَ مِنْ جَبَلَيْ طَيِّئٍ أَتْعَبْتُ نَفْسِي، وَأَنْضَيْتُ رَاحِلَتِي، وَاللهِ مَا تَرَكْتُ مِنْ حَبْلٍ إِلَّا وَقَفْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَهَلْ لِي مِنْ حَجٍّ ؟ فَقَالَ: مَنْ شَهِدَ مَعَنَا هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ - يَعْنِي صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ - بِجَمْعٍ وَوَقَفَ مَعَنَا حَتَّى يُفِيضَ مِنْهُ، وَقَدْ أَفَاضَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ عَرَفَاتٍ لَيْلًا أَوْ نَهَارًا، فَقَدْ تَمَّ حَجُّهُ، وَقَضَى تَفَثَهُ
✧ I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was at Jamʿ. I said: O Messenger of God, I have come to you from the two mountains of Ṭayyiʾ. I have exhausted myself and worn out my mount. By God, I have not left any hill but I have stood upon it. Is there any Hajj for me? He said: “Whoever witnesses this prayer with us—meaning the dawn prayer—at Jamʿ, and stands with us until he departs from it, having already departed from ʿArafāt, by night or day, his Hajj is complete, and his ritual state is fulfilled.”
Musnad Ahmad 16209Sahih
أَنَّهُ حَجَّ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَلَمْ يُدْرِكِ النَّاسَ إِلَّا لَيْلًا وَهُوَ بِجَمْعٍ ؟ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى عَرَفَاتٍ، فَأَفَاضَ مِنْهَا، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ، فَأَتَى جَمْعًا فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَتْعَبْتُ نَفْسِي، وَأَنْضَيْتُ رَاحِلَتِي، فَهَلْ لِي مِنْ حَجٍّ ؟ فَقَالَ: مَنْ صَلَّى مَعَنَا صَلَاةَ الْغَدَاةِ بِجَمْعٍ، وَوَقَفَ مَعَنَا حَتَّى يُفِيضَ، وَقَدْ أَفَاضَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ عَرَفَاتٍ لَيْلًا أَوْ نَهَارًا، فَقَدْ تَمَّ حَجُّهُ وَقَضَى تَفَثَهُ ".
✧ He performed the Hajj during the time of the Messenger of God ﷺ, but he did not reach the people until night, while he was at Jamʿ. He went to ʿArafāt, departed from it, then returned and came to Jamʿ. He said: O Messenger of God, I have exhausted myself and worn out my mount. Is there any Hajj for me? He said: “Whoever prays the morning prayer with us at Jamʿ, and stands with us until he departs, having already departed from ʿArafāt before that, by night or day, his Hajj is complete, and his ritual state is fulfilled.”

✧ From Jabir—and Abu al-Zubayr did not fully convey this entire account—that Abu Qatada came to his family and found a bowl of tharid made from dried sacrificial meat. He refused to eat it, so he went to Qatada b. al-Nu'man and informed him that the Prophet ﷺ stood during the Hajj and said: 'I had commanded you not to eat the sacrificial meats beyond three days so that it might suffice you, but I now make it lawful for you, so eat of it as you wish.' He said: 'And do not sell the meat of the hady or the sacrifices, but eat, give charity, and benefit from their hides. If you are given any of their meat, eat it if you wish.'

Musnad Ahmad 16214Hasan
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَأْكُلَ لُحُومَ نُسُكِنَا فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ، قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ فِي سَفَرٍ، ثُمَّ قَدِمْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي، وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ الْأَضْحَى بِأَيَّامٍ قَالَ: فَأَتَتْنِي صَاحِبَتِي بِسِلْقٍ قَدْ جَعَلَتْ فِيهِ قَدِيدًا، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: أَنَّى لَكِ هَذَا الْقَدِيدُ ؟ فَقَالَتْ: مِنْ ضَحَايَانَا. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: أَوَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَنْ نَأْكُلَهَا فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّهُ قَدْ رَخَّصَ لِلنَّاسِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: فَلَمْ أُصَدِّقْهَا حَتَّى بَعَثْتُ إِلَى أَخِي قَتَادَةَ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ - وَكَانَ بَدْرِيًّا - أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ: فَبَعَثَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ كُلْ طَعَامَكَ، فَقَدْ صَدَقَتْ، قَدْ أَرْخَصَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي ذَلِكَ.
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had forbidden us to eat the meat of our sacrificial animals beyond three days. He said: I went out on a journey, then returned to my family, and that was some days after the sacrifice. He said: My wife brought me chard in which she had put dried meat. I said to her: 'Where did you get this dried meat from?' She said: 'From our sacrifices.' I said to her: 'Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ not forbid us from eating them beyond three days?' She said: 'He granted a concession to the people after that.' He said: I did not believe her until I sent to my brother Qatada b. al-Nu'man—and he was a veteran of Badr—to ask him about that. He said: He sent word to me: 'Eat your food; she has spoken the truth. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did grant the Muslims a concession in that matter.'

✧ We returned with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until when we were at al-Kadid—or he said Qudayd—some men among us began seeking his permission to go to their families, and he would grant them permission. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood, praised and extolled Allah, then said: 'What is the matter with men that the side of the tree nearest to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is more hateful to them than the other side?' At that, we saw none of the people except one weeping. A man said: 'The one who seeks your permission after this is indeed foolish.' He praised Allah and then said: 'I bear witness before Allah that no servant dies bearing witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, truthfully from his heart, and then remains upright, except that he will be admitted to Paradise.' He said: 'And my Lord, Mighty and Exalted, has promised me that He will admit seventy thousand of my community without reckoning or punishment. And I hope that they will not enter it until you and the righteous among your fathers, your wives, and your offspring take up dwellings in Paradise.' And he said: 'When half the night—or he said two-thirds of the night—has passed, Allah, Mighty and Exalted, descends to the lowest heaven and says: I do not ask about My servants anyone other than Myself. Who seeks My forgiveness that I may forgive him? Who calls upon Me that I may answer him? Who asks of Me that I may give him?—until dawn breaks.'

Abu Salama asserted that he avoided drawing near to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ out of fear of overhearing his conversation. When morning came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'What prevented you from greeting me when you passed by me last night?' He said: 'I saw you conversing privately with a man, and I feared you would dislike me drawing near to you two.' He said: 'Do you know who the man was?'

When Abu Salamah died, I sought return to God and said: ‘O God, reward me in my misfortune and leave me something better in its place.’ Then I reconsidered and said: ‘How could I have anyone better than Abu Salamah?’ When my waiting period ended, the Messenger of God ﷺ asked permission to enter while I was tanning a hide. I washed my hands of the acacia pods and gave him permission. I placed for him a leather cushion stuffed with palm fiber, and he sat on it. He proposed to me for himself. When he finished speaking, I said: ‘O Messenger of God, it is not that I have no desire for you, but I am a woman with intense jealousy, and I fear that you may see something from me for which God would punish me. I am a woman who has entered old age, and I have dependents.’ He said: ‘As for the jealousy you mentioned, God, Mighty and Majestic, will soon remove it from you. As for the old age you mentioned, I have been afflicted with the same as you. As for the dependents you mentioned, your dependents are my dependents.’ She said: ‘So I surrendered myself to the Messenger of God ﷺ, and the Messenger of God ﷺ married her.’ Umm Salamah said: ‘God indeed replaced Abu Salamah for me with someone better—the Messenger of God ﷺ.’

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ permitted us on the day of the conquest to fight Banu Bakr, until we obtained our revenge from them, while he was in Makkah. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered the sword to be lifted. The next day, a group of us met a man from Hudhayl in the sanctuary heading to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to become Muslim. He had wronged them in the pre-Islamic era, and they were seeking him, so they killed him, fearing that he might reach the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and be safe. When that reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he became very angry. By Allah, I never saw him angrier than that. So we rushed to Abu Bakr, 'Umar, and 'Ali ؓ seeking their intercession, fearing that we had perished. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the prayer, he stood, praised Allah, Mighty and Majestic, as He deserves, then said: 'To proceed: Indeed, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, made Makkah sacred, and people did not make it sacred. He only made it lawful for me for a portion of the day yesterday, and today it is sacred as Allah, Mighty and Majestic, made it sacred the first time. Indeed, the most insolent of people against Allah, Mighty and Majestic, are three: a man who kills in it, a man who kills other than his killer, and a man who seeks a pre-Islamic vengeance. And, by Allah, I will surely pay the blood money for this man whom you killed.'" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ paid his blood money.
Musnad Ahmad 16377Sahih
لَمَّا بَعَثَ عَمْرُو بْنُ سَعِيدٍ إِلَى مَكَّةَ بَعْثَهُ يَغْزُو ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَتَاهُ أَبُو شُرَيْحٍ، فَكَلَّمَهُ وَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا سَمِعَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى نَادِي قَوْمِهِ، فَجَلَسَ فِيهِ، فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَجَلَسْتُ مَعَهُ، فَحَدَّثَ قَوْمَهُ كَمَا حَدَّثَ عَمْرَو بْنَ سَعِيدٍ مَا سَمِعَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَعَمَّا قَالَ لَهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا هَذَا، إِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ افْتَتَحَ مَكَّةَ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْفَتْحِ عَدَتْ خُزَاعَةُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ فَقَتَلُوهُ، وَهُوَ مُشْرِكٌ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِينَا خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ، فَهِيَ حَرَامٌ مِنْ حَرَامِ اللهِ تَعَالَى إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرِئٍ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ، وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَنْ يَسْفِكَ فِيهَا دَمًا، وَلَا يَعْضُدَ بِهَا شَجَرًا، لَمْ تَحْلِلْ لِأَحَدٍ كَانَ قَبْلِي وَلَا تَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ يَكُونُ بَعْدِي، وَلَمْ تَحْلِلْ لِي إِلَّا هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ غَضَبًا عَلَى أَهْلِهَا، أَلَا ثُمَّ قَدْ رَجَعَتْ كَحُرْمَتِهَا بِالْأَمْسِ، أَلَا فَلْيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ مِنْكُمُ الْغَائِبَ، فَمَنْ قَالَ لَكُمْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ قَاتَلَ بِهَا، فَقُولُوا: إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ أَحَلَّهَا لِرَسُولِهِ وَلَمْ يُحْلِلْهَا لَكُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ خُزَاعَةَ، ارْفَعُوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ عَنِ الْقَتْلِ فَقَدْ كَثُرَ أَنْ يَقَعَ، لَئِنْ قَتَلْتُمْ قَتِيلًا لَأَدِيَنَّهُ، فَمَنْ قُتِلَ بَعْدَ مَقَامِي هَذَا فَأَهْلُهُ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ: إِنْ شَاءُوا فَدَمُ قَاتِلِهِ، وَإِنْ شَاءُوا فَعَقْلُهُ " ثُمَّ وَدَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي قَتَلَتْهُ خُزَاعَةُ، فَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ سَعِيدٍ لِأَبِي شُرَيْحٍ: انْصَرِفْ أَيُّهَا الشَّيْخُ، فَنَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِحُرْمَتِهَا مِنْكَ، إِنَّهَا لَا تَمْنَعُ سَافِكَ دَمٍ وَلَا خَالِعَ طَاعَةٍ وَلَا مَانِعَ خِزْيَةٍ، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: قَدْ كُنْتُ شَاهِدًا وَكُنْتَ غَائِبًا، فَقَدْ بَلَّغْتُ وَقَدْ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُبَلِّغَ شَاهِدُنَا غَائِبَنَا وَقَدْ بَلَّغْتُكَ، فَأَنْتَ وَشَأْنُكَ
✧ When 'Amr b. Sa'id sent his expedition to Makkah to fight Ibn al-Zubayr, Abu Shurayh came to him and spoke to him, informing him of what he had heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then he went out to the assembly of his people, sat there, and I went to him and sat with him. He narrated to his people as he had narrated to 'Amr b. Sa'id what he had heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and about what 'Amr b. Sa'id said to him. He said: I said: O you, we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he conquered Makkah. The next day after the conquest, Khuza'ah attacked a man from Hudhayl and killed him while he was a polytheist. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us as a preacher and said: 'O people, indeed Allah, Mighty and Majestic, made Makkah sacred on the day He created the heavens and the earth, so it is sacred by the sanctity of Allah, Exalted be He, until the Day of Resurrection. It is not lawful for anyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day to shed blood in it or to cut down a tree in it. It was not made lawful for anyone before me, nor will it be made lawful for anyone after me. It was only made lawful for me for this hour out of anger against its people. Indeed, then it has returned to its sanctity as it was yesterday. Indeed, let the witness among you convey to the absent. Whoever tells you that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fought in it, say: Indeed, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, made it lawful for His Messenger and did not make it lawful for you. O Khuza'ah, lift your hands from killing, for it has become frequent that it occurs. If you kill anyone, I will surely pay his blood money. Whoever is killed after this standing of mine, his family has the better of two options: if they wish, the blood of his killer, and if they wish, his blood money.'" Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ paid the blood money for the man whom Khuza'ah killed. 'Amr b. Sa'id said to Abu Shurayh: 'Go away, old man, for we know its sanctity better than you. It does not prevent a shedder of blood, nor a renouncer of obedience, nor a preventer of disgrace.' He said: I said: 'I was a witness and you were absent. I have conveyed, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered us that our witness should convey to our absent, and I have conveyed to you. So you and your affair.'
مِنْ أَعْتَى النَّاسِ عَلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَنْ قَتَلَ غَيْرَ قَاتِلِهِ، أَوْ طَلَبَ بِدَمِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ، أَوْ بَصَّرَ عَيْنَيْهِ فِي النَّوْمِ مَا لَمْ تُبْصِرْ
✧ Among the most insolent of people against Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is one who kills other than his killer, or seeks the blood of the pre-Islamic era from the people of Islam, or makes his eyes see in sleep what they did not see.
لَمَّا فَتَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَكَّةَ، جَعَلَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ يَأْتُونَهُ بِصِبْيَانِهِمْ فَيَمْسَحُ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ، وَيَدْعُو لَهُمْ، فَجِيءَ بِي إِلَيْهِ، وَإِنِّي مُطَيَّبٌ بِالْخَلُوقِ فَلَمْ يَمْسَحْ عَلَى رَأْسِي، وَلَمْ يَمْنَعْهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا أَنَّ أُمِّي خَلَّقَتْنِي بِالْخَلُوقِ، فَلَمْ يَمَسَّنِي مِنْ أَجْلِ الْخَلُوقِ
✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered Makkah, the people of Makkah brought their children to him, and he wiped over their heads and prayed for them. I was brought to him while I was perfumed with khaluq, so he did not wipe over my head. Nothing prevented him from that except that my mother had perfumed me with khaluq, so he did not touch me because of the khaluq.

✧ I came to the Prophet ﷺ and he slaughtered a sheep for us and said: 'Do not think' — he did not say: 'Do not think' — 'that we slaughtered it only for you. Rather, we have sheep, and when they reach one hundred, we slaughter a sheep.'

✧ I set out with a companion of mine until we reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but we did not find him. So 'A'ishah gave us dates to eat and prepared some porridge for us. Then the Prophet ﷺ came, walking with a brisk, swaying gait, and said: 'Have you been fed anything?' We said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' While we were thus, the shepherd of the sheep appeared in the sheepfold, carrying a newborn lamb on his arm. He said: 'Have you delivered any newborns?' The shepherd said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then slaughter a sheep for us.' Then he turned to us and said: 'Do not think' — he did not say: 'Do not think' — 'that we slaughtered the sheep because of you two. We have one hundred sheep, and we do not want them to increase beyond that. So when the shepherd delivers a lamb, we order him to slaughter a sheep.' Then he said: 'O Messenger of Allah...'

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered Khaybar, and Khaybar became the property of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Muslims, he was unable to work it, so they handed it over to the Jews to tend and maintain, on condition that they would have half of what it produced. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ divided it into thirty-six shares, each share comprising one hundred portions.

✧ I was a man who had been given such prowess in intercourse with women as no other had been given. When Ramadan entered, I practiced ritual purity (abstained) from my wife until Ramadan ended, fearing that I might have something happen to me at night and then continue in that until the day overtook me while I was unable to desist. While she was serving me, something of her became exposed, so I jumped upon her. When morning came, I went to my people and told them my news, and I said, 'Come with me to the Prophet ﷺ so I may inform him of my affair.' They said, 'No, by Allah, we will not do that. We fear that Qur'an may be revealed concerning us, or the Messenger of Allah ﷺ may say something about us whose shame would remain upon us. But go yourself and do what seems best to you.' He said: So I went out until I came to the Prophet ﷺ and told him my news. He said to me, 'Are you the one who did that?' I said, 'I am the one who did that.' He said, 'Are you the one who did that?' I said, 'I am the one who did that.' He said, 'Are you the one who did that?' I said, 'Yes, here I am. So carry out upon me the judgment of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, for I am patient with it.' He said, 'Free a slave.' I struck the side of my neck with my hand and said, 'No, by the One who sent you with the truth, I have become in the morning possessing nothing other than it.' He said, 'Then fast two months.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, did what befell me befall me except in fasting?' He said, 'Then give charity.' I said, 'By the One who sent you with the truth, we spent this night of ours hungry, having no supper.' He said, 'Go to the collector of the sadaqah of Banu Zurayq and tell him to give it to you, and feed on your behalf from it a wasq of dates to sixty poor people, then use the rest of it for yourself and your family.' He said: So I returned to my people and said, 'I found with you hardship and poor judgment, and I found with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ease and blessing. He has ordered that your sadaqah be given to me, so give it to me.' He said: So they gave it to me.

You were divided and Allah united you through me? You were poor and Allah enriched you through me?” Whenever he said something, they said, “Allah and His Messenger are more gracious.” He said, “What prevents you from answering me?” They said, “Allah and His Messenger are more gracious.” He said, “If you wished, you could say, ‘You came to us in such and such a state.’ Are you not content that the people take away sheep and camels, while you take the Messenger of Allah to your homes? Were it not for the Hijrah, I would have been a man of the Ansar. If the people were to travel through a valley and a mountain pass, I would travel through the valley of the Ansar and their mountain pass.

✧ When the Messenger of God ﷺ decided to strike the bell to gather people for prayer, though he disliked it because it resembled the Christians, a visitor came to me at night while I was sleeping: a man wearing two green garments, carrying a bell in his hand. I said to him: O servant of God, will you sell the bell? He said: What will you do with it? I said: We will call to prayer with it. He said: Shall I not guide you to something better than that? I said: Yes. He said: Say: God is greatest, God is greatest, God is greatest, God is greatest; I bear witness that there is no god but God, I bear witness that there is no god but God; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God; come to prayer, come to prayer; come to success, come to success; God is greatest, God is greatest; there is no god but God. Then he stepped back a short distance and said: Then you say when you stand for prayer: God is greatest, God is greatest; I bear witness that there is no god but God; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God; come to prayer; come to success; prayer has begun, prayer has begun; God is greatest, God is greatest; there is no god but God. When morning came, I went to the Messenger of God ﷺ and told him what I had seen. He said: This is a true vision, God willing. Then he ordered the call to prayer, and Bilal, the freedman of Abu Bakr, called the adhan with that, and called the Messenger of God ﷺ to prayer. One morning he came to call him for Fajr, and it was said to him: The Messenger of God ﷺ is sleeping. So Bilal cried out at the top of his voice: Prayer is better than sleep. Sa'id b. al-Musayyib said: This phrase was incorporated into the adhan for Fajr prayer.

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي رَجُلٌ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ، وَبَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ هَذَا الْوَادِي وَالظُّلْمَةُ، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ فَيُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتِي، فَأَتَّخِذَ مُصَلَّاهُ مُصَلًّى، فَوَعَدَنِي أَنْ يَفْعَلَ، فَجَاءَ هُوَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ، فَتَسَامَعَتْ بِهِ الْأَنْصَارُ، فَأَتَوْهُ، وَتَخَلَّفَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ: مَالِكُ بْنُ الدُّخْشُنِ، وَكَانَ يُزَنُّ بِالنِّفَاقِ، فَاحْتَبَسُوا عَلَى طَعَامٍ، فَتَذَاكَرُوهُ بَيْنَهُمْ، فَقَالُوا: مَا تَخَلَّفَ عَنَّا وَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ زَارَنَا إِلَّا لِنِفَاقِهِ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ، قَالَ: وَيْحَهُ، أَمَا شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ بِهَا مُخْلِصًا، فَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَرَّمَ النَّارَ عَلَى مَنْ شَهِدَ بِهَا
✧ I came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and said: I am a man with weak eyesight, and between me and you there is this valley and darkness. I asked him to come and pray in my house so that I could take his prayer place as a prayer place. He promised me to do so. He came with Abu Bakr and Umar, and the Ansar heard of it and came to him. One man among them stayed behind, called Malik b. al-Dukhshun, who was suspected of hypocrisy. They waited for food, and they mentioned him among themselves and said: He did not come with us though he knew that the Messenger of God ﷺ visited us, except because of his hypocrisy. The Messenger of God ﷺ was praying. When he finished, he said: Woe to him! Did he not testify that there is no god but God sincerely? Indeed, God, mighty and majestic, has forbidden the Fire for the one who testifies to it.

أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ السُّيُولَ تَحُولُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ مَسْجِدِ قَوْمِي، فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي فَتُصَلِّيَ فِي مَكَانٍ فِي بَيْتِي أَتَّخِذُهُ مَسْجِدًا. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: "سَنَفْعَلُ". قَالَ: فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غَدَا عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ، فَاسْتَتْبَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: "أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ ؟ " فَأَشَرْتُ لَهُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَفَفْنَا خَلْفَهُ، فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَحَبَسْنَاهُ عَلَى خَزِيرٍ صَنَعْنَاهُ، فَسَمِعَ أَهْلُ الدَّارِ - يَعْنِي أَهْلَ الْقَرْيَةِ - فَجَعَلُوا يَثُوبُونَ، فَامْتَلَأَ الْبَيْتُ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: أَيْنَ مَالِكُ بْنُ الدُّخْشُمِ ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: ذَاكَ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: "لَا تَقُولُهُ، يَقُولُ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ يَبْتَغِي بِهَا وَجْهَ اللهِ" قَالَ: أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنَرَى وَجْهَهُ وَحَدِيثَهُ إِلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: "لَا تَقُولُهُ، يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ يَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللهِ". فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: لَئِنْ وَافَى عَبْدٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ يَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللهِ إِلَّا حَرَّمَهُ اللهُ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] عَلَى النَّارِ. فَقَالَ مَحْمُودٌ: فَحَدَّثْتُ بِذَلِكَ قَوْمًا فِيهِمْ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: مَا أَظُنُّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ هَذَا. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: لَئِنْ رَجَعْتُ وَعِتْبَانُ حَيٌّ لَأَسْأَلَنَّهُ. فَقَدِمْتُ وَهُوَ أَعْمَى، وَهُوَ إِمَامُ قَوْمِهِ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ، فَحَدَّثَنِي كَمَا
✧ He said: O Messenger of God, the torrents come between me and the mosque of my people, and I would like you to come and pray in a place in my house that I may take as a mosque. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "We will do so." So when morning came, the Messenger of God ﷺ went to Abu Bakr and asked him to accompany him. When the Messenger of God ﷺ entered, he said: "Where do you want?" I pointed for him to a corner of the house. The Messenger of God ﷺ stood, and we formed rows behind him, and he prayed two rak'ahs with us. We detained him for a dish of meat and broth we had prepared. The people of the area—meaning the people of the village—heard, so they began to come, and the house became full. A man among the people said: Where is Malik b. al-Dukhshum? Another man said: That one is among the hypocrites. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "Do not say that. He says: There is no god but God, seeking thereby the face of God." The man said: As for us, we see his face and his talk directed to the hypocrites. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "Do not say that. He says: There is no god but God, seeking thereby the face of God." Another man said: Yes, O Messenger of God. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "If a servant comes on the Day of Resurrection saying: There is no god but God, seeking thereby the face of God, God will surely forbid him from the Fire." Mahmud said: I narrated that to a people among whom was Abu Ayyub. He said: I do not think the Messenger of God ﷺ said this. I said: If I return and Itban is alive, I will ask him. I came and he was blind, and he was the imam of his people. I asked him, and he narrated it to me just as.

He described a place for him, so he designated it and prayed in it. Then he was detained or sat down, and word reached the Ansar around us, so they came until the house was filled with us. They mentioned the hypocrites and the harm and evil they received from them, until they referred their affair to a man among them called Malik b. al-Dukhshum, and they spoke of his condition and his condition, while the Messenger of God ﷺ remained silent.

✧ I attended the 'Id prayer with the Messenger of God ﷺ. He said: My wife acted differently from me when I went out to the prayer: she went to my sacrificial animal and slaughtered it, and made food from it. He said: When the Messenger of God ﷺ had prayed with us and I returned to her, she brought me food that had been prepared. I said, "Where is this from?" She said, "Your sacrifice; we slaughtered it and made food for you so you could have lunch when you came." He said: I said to her, "By God, I feared that this might not be proper." He said: I went to the Messenger of God ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said, "It is nothing. Whoever slaughters before we finish our ritual, it is nothing, so sacrifice." He said: I looked for a musinnah but could not find one. He said: I came to him and said, "By God, O Messenger of God, I looked for a musinnah but did not find one." He said, "Look for a jadha' from sheep and sacrifice it." He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ granted him a concession for a jadha' from sheep, and he sacrificed it since he could not find a musinnah.

✧ We arrived with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at al-Hudaybiyyah, and we were fourteen hundred. Upon it were fifty sheep that it could not water. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat at its well-mouth, and either he supplicated or spat, and it gushed forth, so we watered and drew water. He said: Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for the pledge at the base of the tree, and the first of the people pledged allegiance to him, and he pledged and he pledged, until when he was in the middle of the people, he said: 'O Salamah, pledge allegiance to me.' He said: 'I have already pledged allegiance to you among the first of the people, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Again, so pledge.' And he saw that I was unarmed, so he gave me a shield or a buckler. Then he accepted pledges and pledges, until when he was among the last of the people, he said: 'Will you not pledge allegiance to me?' He said: I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have pledged with the first of the people, their middle, and their last.' He said: 'Again, so pledge,' so I pledged allegiance to him. Then he said: 'Where is your buckler or shield that I gave you?' He said: I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, my uncle ʿĀmir met me unarmed, so I gave it to him.' He said: Then he said: 'You are like the one who said: O Allah, seek for me a beloved who is dearer to me than myself,' and he laughed. Then the polytheists communicated with us for peace, until some of us walked to some of them. He said: I was a servant of Ṭalḥah b. ʿUbayd Allāh, currying his horse, watering it, and eating from his food, and I left my family and property as an emigrant to Allah and His Messenger. When we and the people of Makkah made peace and some of us mixed with some of them, I came to the tree, swept away its thorns, and lay down in its shade. Four men from the people of Makkah came to me, and while they were polytheists, they began to revile the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I moved away from them to another tree, and they hung up their weapons and lay down. While they were like that, a caller cried out from the bottom of the valley: 'O people of the Muhājirūn, Ibn Zunaym has been killed!' I drew my sword and attacked the four, seized their weapons, and made them into a bundle. Then I said: 'By the One who honored Muḥammad, none of you raises his head except that I strike the one—meaning his eyes.' I came driving them to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and my uncle ʿĀmir came with Ibn Mikraz leading him by his horse; he was leading seventy, until we brought them to a halt. He looked at them and said: 'Let them go; they shall have the beginning of wickedness.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ pardoned them, and it was revealed: 'And He it is who restrained their hands from you and your hands from them.' Then we returned to Madinah and stopped at a place called Laḥy Jamal. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sought forgiveness for whoever climbed the mountain that night, as if he were a scout for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions. I climbed that night two or three times. Then we arrived in Madinah, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent his riding camels with his servant Rabāḥ, and I was with him, and I went out with Ṭalḥah's horse to exercise it upon the camels' backs. When morning came, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿUyaynah al-Fazārī had raided the riding camels of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, seized them all, and killed their herdsman.

✧ I raided with the Messenger of God ﷺ against Hawazin. He said: While we were having our forenoon meal, and most of us were on foot—among us were weak ones—suddenly a man came on a red camel. He pulled out a tether from its girth, a young man, and hobbled his camel with it, then came to eat lunch with the people. When he saw their weakness and the thinness of their mounts, he went out to his camel, untied it, made it kneel, sat on it, and rode off spurring it. A man from Aslam, one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, followed him on a grey she-camel, one of the best mounts of the people. He pursued him. He said: I ran out and caught up with him while the she-camel's head was at the haunch of the camel, and I was at the haunch of the she-camel. Then I moved forward until I was at the haunch of the camel, then I moved forward until I took hold of the camel's nose-rein and made it kneel. When he placed his knee on the ground, I drew my sword and struck his head, and it flew off. I came with his riding camel and what was on it, leading it. The Messenger of God ﷺ met me, coming forward. He said: 'Who killed the man?' They said: 'Ibn al-Akwaʿ.' He said: 'He gets all his spoils.'

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Abu Bakr ؓ to Fazara, and I went out with him, until when we drew near the water, Abu Bakr made a night halt. When we had prayed Fajr, he commanded us, and we launched the raid. We reached the water, and Abu Bakr killed whom he killed while we were with him. Salama said: I saw a group of people among whom were women and children, and I feared they would reach the mountain before me. I caught up with them and shot an arrow between them and the mountain. When they saw the arrow, they stopped. There was a woman from Fazara wearing a worn leather garment, and with her was a daughter, one of the most beautiful of the Arabs. I came driving them to Abu Bakr, and Abu Bakr gave me her daughter as a gift. I did not uncover her garment until I reached Madinah. Then she spent the night with me, and I did not uncover her garment until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me in the market. He said: 'O Salama, give me the woman.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, she has pleased me, and I have not uncovered her garment.' He said: He was silent. When it was the next day, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me in the market, and I had not uncovered her garment. He said: 'O Salama, give me the woman, may your father be for Allah.' I said: 'She is yours, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent her to the people of Makkah, and he ransomed with her some Muslim captives who were in the hands of the polytheists.

✧ My uncle dueled on the day of Khaybar with Marhab the Jew. Marhab said: 'Khaybar knows that I am Marhab, bearing arms, a proven hero; when wars come, they blaze.' My uncle 'Amir said: 'Khaybar knows that I am 'Amir, bearing arms, a bold adventurer.' They exchanged two blows, and Marhab's sword fell on 'Amir's shield, and he tried to strike low, but the sword rebounded onto his own shin and cut his artery, in which was his life. Salama b. al-Akwa' said: I met some of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ, and they said: 'Amir's deed is void; he killed himself.' Salama said: I came to the Prophet of Allah ﷺ weeping, and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, 'Amir's deed is void.' He said: 'Who said that?' I said: 'Some of your companions.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'He lied who said that; rather, he has his reward twice. When he went out to Khaybar, he began reciting rajaz verses with the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and among them was the Prophet ﷺ, driving the mounts, while he said: By Allah, had it not been for Allah, we would not have been guided, nor given charity, nor prayed. Those who have wronged us, when they desire discord, we refuse, and we are never free of need for Your bounty, so make firm our feet when we meet, and send down tranquility upon us.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Who is this?' He said: ''Amir, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Your Lord has forgiven you.' He said: He never sought forgiveness for any man specifically except that he was martyred. When 'Umar b. al-Khattab heard that, he said: 'O Messenger of Allah, if only you had let us enjoy 'Amir.' He went forward and was martyred. Salama said: Then the Prophet of Allah ﷺ sent me to 'Ali and said: 'Today I will give the banner to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, or whom Allah and His Messenger love.' He said: I brought him, leading him, suffering from ophthalmia, and the Prophet of Allah ﷺ spat in his eye, then gave him the banner. Marhab came out swaggering with his sword and said: 'Khaybar knows that I am Marhab, bearing arms, a proven hero; when wars come, they blaze.' 'Ali b. Abi Talib, may Allah honor his face, said: 'I am he whom my mother named Haydar, like a lion of the thickets, fierce of countenance; I give them full measure, the measure of the sandara.' Then he split Marhab's head with the sword, and the victory was at his hands.

✧ We arrived in Madinah at the time of al-Hudaybiyah with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then I and Rabah, the servant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, went out with the riding animals of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I went out with a horse belonging to Talhah ibn Ubaydullah, intending to take it out to pasture with the camels. When it was still dark before dawn, Abd al-Rahman ibn Uyaynah raided the camels of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, killed their shepherd, and drove them off, he and some men with him on horses. I said, “Rabah, mount this horse, take it to Talhah, and inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that his grazing herd has been raided.” He said: I stood on a hill, turned my face toward Madinah, and called out three times, “O morning alarm!” Then I followed the people, carrying my sword and arrows. I began shooting at them and hamstringing their mounts, for the trees were plentiful. Whenever a horseman turned back toward me, I would sit for him at the base of a tree and shoot; no horseman came toward me but that I hamstrung his mount. I kept shooting at them while saying, in rajaz meter, “I am the son of al-Akwa, and today is the day of the sucklings.” I would catch up with one of them and shoot him while he was on his mount, and my arrow would strike the man until it pierced through his shoulder. I said, “Take it! I am the son of al-Akwa, and today is the day of the sucklings.” When I was among the trees, I burned them with arrows; when the mountain passes narrowed, I climbed the mountain and pelted them with stones. That remained my affair with them: I followed them and chanted rajaz until there was nothing Allah had created among the riding animals of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ except that I had put it behind my back, rescuing it from their hands. Then I continued shooting at them until they threw down more than thirty spears and more than thirty cloaks, lightening their load. They did not throw down anything but that I placed stones upon it and gathered it along the road of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When the forenoon lengthened, Uyaynah ibn Badr al-Fazari came to them as reinforcements while they were in a narrow pass. I climbed the mountain and was above them. Uyaynah said, “What is this that I see?” They said, “We have met severe hardship from this man. He has not left us since before dawn until now, and he has taken everything in our hands and put it behind his back.” Uyaynah said, “Were it not that this man thinks there is a pursuing force behind him, he would have left you. Let a few men among you stand up to him.” Four men from among them stood up to him and ascended the mountain. When I made them hear my voice, I said, “Do you know me?” They said, “Who are you?” I said, “I am the son of al-Akwa. By the One who honored the face of Muhammad ﷺ, no man among you will pursue me and catch me, and I will not pursue him and fail to overtake him.” One of them said, “I think so.” He said: I did not leave that place of mine until I saw the horsemen of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ moving through the trees. The first of them was al-Akhram al-Asadi; behind him was Abu Qatadah, the horseman of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; and behind Abu Qatadah was al-Miqdad al-Kindi. The polytheists turned and fled. I came down from the mountain and intercepted al-Akhram, taking hold of the rein of his horse. I said, “Al-Akhram, beware of the people—that is, be cautious of them—for I do not feel safe that they may cut you off. Go slowly until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his Companions catch up.” He said, “Salamah, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day and know that Paradise is true and the Fire is true, then do not come between me and martyrdom.” He said: So I let go of the rein of his horse. He caught up with Abd al-Rahman ibn Uyaynah, and Abd al-Rahman turned upon him. They exchanged two thrusts: al-Akhram hamstrung Abd al-Rahman’s mount, and Abd al-Rahman thrust him and killed him. Abd al-Rahman then moved onto al-Akhram’s horse. Abu Qatadah caught up with Abd al-Rahman, and they exchanged two thrusts: Abd al-Rahman hamstrung Abu Qatadah’s mount, and Abu Qatadah killed him, then Abu Qatadah moved onto al-Akhram’s horse. Then I set out running after the people until I could no longer see any dust from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ. Before sunset they turned toward a mountain ravine containing water called Dhu Qarad, wanting to drink from it. They saw me running behind them, so they turned away from it and pushed hard into the pass, the pass of Dhu Nathr, as the sun set. I caught up with a man and shot him, saying, “Take it! I am the son of al-Akwa, and today is the day of the sucklings.” He said, “May the mother of Akwa be bereaved! Again, after this morning?” I said, “Yes, enemy of himself.” It was the same man I had shot in the morning, so I followed him with another arrow, and two arrows were lodged in him. They left behind two horses, and I brought them, driving them to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who was at the water from which I had driven them away, Dhu Qarad. There was the Prophet of Allah ﷺ with five hundred men, and Bilal had slaughtered a she-camel from what I had recovered and was roasting its liver and hump for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, “Messenger of Allah, let me choose one hundred of your Companions, and I will take the unbelievers by night so that none of them remains to report the news except that I will have killed him.” He said, “Would you really do that, Salamah?” He said: I said, “Yes, by the One who honored you.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed until I saw his molar teeth in the light of the fire, then he said, “They are being hosted now in the land of Ghatafan.” A man from Ghatafan came and said, “They passed by so-and-so the Ghatafani, and he slaughtered a she-camel for them.” He said: When they began skinning it, they saw dust, so they left it and went out fleeing. When morning came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “The best of our horsemen today is Abu Qatadah, and the best of our footmen is Salamah.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave me both the share of a foot soldier and the share of a horseman, then he seated me behind him on al-Adba as we returned to Madinah. When there was about a forenoon’s distance between us and it, and among the people was a man of the Ansar who was never beaten in a race, he began calling out, “Is there anyone to race? Is there any man who will race to Madinah?” He repeated that several times while I was behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, riding behind him. I said to him, “Do you not honor a noble man or fear a dignified one?” He said, “No, except the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” He said: I said, “Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransomed for you, let me go so that I may race the man.” He said, “If you wish.” I said, “I am going to you.” The man leapt from his mount, and I folded my legs and leapt down from the she-camel. Then I held myself back from him for one or two rises—that is, I spared my strength—then I ran until I caught him and struck between his shoulders with my hand. I said, “By Allah, I have beaten you,” or a word like it. He said: He laughed and said, “I think so,” until we arrived in Madinah.

✧ He narrated to me—about the Messenger of God ﷺ spreading his left thigh flat in the middle of the prayer and at its end, sitting on his left hip, placing his left hand on his left thigh, standing his right foot upright, placing his right hand on his right thigh, and standing his index finger upright, declaring the oneness of his Lord, Mighty and Majestic, with it—‘Imran b. Abi Anas, the brother of Banu ‘Amir b. Lu’ayy, and he was trustworthy, from Abu al-Qasim Miqsam, the freedman of ‘Abd Allah b. al-Harith b. Nawfal, who said: "A man from the people of Madinah narrated to me, saying: 'I prayed in the mosque of Banu Ghifar. When I sat in my prayer, I spread my left thigh flat and stood my index finger upright.' He said: 'Khaffaf b. Ima’ b. Rahdah al-Ghifari saw me—and he had companionship with the Messenger of God ﷺ—while I was doing that.' He said: 'When I finished my prayer, he said to me: "O my son, why did you stand your finger upright like this?"' He said: 'And what do you object to? I saw people doing that.' He said: 'You have done right. When the Messenger of God ﷺ prayed, he used to do that. The polytheists used to say: "Muhammad only does this with his finger to cast a spell with it," but they lied. The Messenger of God ﷺ only did that to declare the oneness of his Lord, Mighty and Majestic, with it.'"

✧ O Messenger of God, I feel loneliness. He said: "When you go to bed, say: 'I seek refuge in the perfect words of God from His wrath and His punishment, from the evil of His servants, from the whisperings of the devils, and from their coming to me.'

✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at 'Usfan, and the polytheists confronted us under the command of Khalid b. al-Walid, and they were between us and the qibla. The Prophet ﷺ led us in the noon prayer, and they said: “They were in a state where if we had caught them off guard...” Then they said: “A prayer will come upon them now that is dearer to them than their sons and their own selves.” He said: So Jibril ﷺ descended with these verses between noon and afternoon: “And when you are among them and lead them in prayer...” He said: So the time came, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded them, and they took up their weapons. He said: We formed two rows behind him. He said: Then he bowed, and we all bowed. Then he raised his head, and we all raised our heads. Then the Prophet ﷺ prostrated with the row nearest him, while the others remained standing guarding them. When they had prostrated and stood up, the others sat down and prostrated in their place. Then these moved forward to the position of those, and those came back to the position of these. He said: Then he bowed, and they all bowed together.
