Musnad Ahmad 26413Sahih
أَقْبَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ تَمْشِي، كَأَنَّ مِشْيَتَهَا مِشْيَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: مَرْحَبًا بِابْنَتِي، ثُمَّ أَجْلَسَهَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ أَوْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَسَرَّ إِلَيْهَا حَدِيثًا فَبَكَتْ. فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: اسْتَخَصَّكِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِحَدِيثِهِ، ثُمَّ تَبْكِينَ ! ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَسَرَّ إِلَيْهَا حَدِيثًا فَضَحِكَتْ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا رَأَيْتُ كَالْيَوْمِ فَرَحًا أَقْرَبَ مِنْ حُزْنٍ ! فَسَأَلْتُهَا عَمَّا قَالَ. فَقَالَتْ: مَا كُنْتُ لِأُفْشِيَ سِرَّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ. حَتَّى إِذَا قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَأَلْتُهَا فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّهُ أَسَرَّ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ كَانَ يُعَارِضُنِي بِالْقُرْآنِ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ مَرَّةً، وَإِنَّهُ عَارَضَنِي بِهِ الْعَامَ مَرَّتَيْنِ، وَلَا أُرَاهُ إِلَّا قَدْ حَضَرَ أَجَلِي. وَإِنَّكِ أَوَّلُ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي لُحُوقًا بِي. وَنِعْمَ السَّلَفُ أَنَا لَكِ، فَبَكَيْتُ لِذَلِكَ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَلَا تَرْضَيْنَ أَنْ تَكُونِي سَيِّدَةَ نِسَاءِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ - أَوْ نِسَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ - ؟ قَالَتْ: فَضَحِكْتُ لِذَلِكَ
✧ Fatimah came walking, as if her gait were the gait of the Messenger of God ﷺ, and he said, 'Welcome to my daughter.' Then he seated her on his right or his left. Then he confided something to her, and she wept. I said to her, 'The Messenger of God ﷺ singled you out with his talk, and then you weep?' Then he confided something to her, and she laughed. I said, 'I have never seen a joy closer to sorrow than today!' Then I asked her about what he said. She said, 'I would not divulge the secret of the Messenger of God ﷺ.' When the Prophet ﷺ passed away, I asked her, and she said, 'He confided to me and said, "Gabriel ﷺ used to review the Quran with me once every year, and this year he reviewed it with me twice. I think that my term has come. And you are the first of my household to join me, and what an excellent predecessor I am for you." So I wept for that. Then he said, "Are you not pleased to be the mistress of the women of this community—or of the believing women?" So I laughed for that.'
Musnad Ahmad 26414Sahih

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلْتُهَا عَنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ، فَقَالَتْ: قَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْهَى عَنْهَا، ثُمَّ رَخَّصَ فِيهَا. قَدِمَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ مِنْ سَفَرٍ فَأَتَتْهُ فَاطِمَةُ بِلَحْمٍ مِنْ ضَحَايَاهَا، فَقَالَ: أَوَلَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَتْ: إِنَّهُ قَدْ رَخَّصَ فِيهَا. قَالَتْ: فَدَخَلَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ: كُلْهَا مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ إِلَى ذِي الْحِجَّةِ
✧ She said, "I entered upon Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, and I asked her about the meat of the sacrificial animals. She said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to prohibit it, but then he gave permission for it. Ali ibn Abi Talib returned from a journey and Fatimah brought him meat from her sacrifices. He said, 'Did not the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibit it?' She said, 'Indeed, he gave permission for it.' So Ali went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him about that. He said to him, 'All of it is allowed from the month of Dhul-Hijjah to the month of Dhul-Hijjah.'"

O Allah, forgive me my sins and open for me the gates of Your bounty.'
دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَكَلَ عَرْقًا. فَجَاءَ بِلَالٌ بِالْأَذَانِ، فَقَامَ لِيُصَلِّيَ فَأَخَذْتُ بِثَوْبِهِ فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَهْ، أَلَا تَتَوَضَّأُ ؟ فَقَالَ: مِمَّ أَتَوَضَّأُ يَا بُنَيَّةُ ؟ فَقُلْتُ: مِمَّا مَسَّتِ النَّارُ ! فَقَالَ لِي: أَوَلَيْسَ أَطْيَبُ طَعَامِكُمْ مَا مَسَّتْهُ النَّارُ. ؟

He said to me: 'Is not the purest of your food that which the fire has touched?'

وَحَدَّثَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ - وَكَانَتْ سَاعَةً لَا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِ فِيهَا أَحَدٌ - أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ حِينَ يَطْلُعُ الْفَجْرُ - تَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ -، وَيُنَادِي الْمُنَادِي بِالصَّلَاةِ. قَالَ أَيُّوبُ: أُرَاهُ قَالَ: خَفِيفَتَيْنِ
✧ Hafsah told me that there was an hour during which no one would enter upon the Prophet ﷺ, and during this hour, he used to pray two Rak'ahs when the Fajr (dawn) would rise and the Mu'adhdhin would call for prayer. Ayyub said, "I think he meant the two quick Rak'ahs."
Musnad Ahmad 26424Sahih
قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ حَلُّوا وَلَمْ تَحِلَّ مِنْ عُمْرَتِكَ ؟ قَالَ: إِنِّي قَلَّدْتُ هَدْيِي وَلَبَّدْتُ رَأْسِي، فَلَا أَحِلُّ حَتَّى أَحِلَّ مِنَ الْحَجِّ
✧ I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what is the matter with the people? They have exited Ihram, but you have not exited Ihram from your Umrah.' He said: 'I have garlanded my sacrificial animal and matted my hair, so I will not exit Ihram until I exit Ihram from the Hajj.'
Musnad Ahmad 26425Sahih
أَنَّهُ رَأَى ابْنَ صَائِدٍ فِي سِكَّةٍ مِنْ سِكَكِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَسَبَّهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَوَقَعَ فِيهِ فَانْتَفَخَ حَتَّى سَدَّ الطَّرِيقَ، فَضَرَبَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ بِعَصًا كَانَتْ مَعَهُ حَتَّى كَسَرَهَا عَلَيْهِ. فَقَالَتْ لَهُ حَفْصَةُ: مَا شَأْنُكَ وَشَأْنُهُ ؟ مَا يُولِعُكَ بِهِ ؟ أَمَا سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِنَّمَا يَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ مِنْ غَضْبَةٍ يَغْضَبُهَا ؟ قَالَ عَفَّانُ: عِنْدَ غَضْبَةٍ يَغْضَبُهَا. وَقَالَ يُونُسُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: مَا تُولِعُكَ بِهِ
✧ He saw Ibn Sayyad in one of the streets of the city, and Ibn Umar insulted him and spoke harshly against him. Then Ibn Sayyad swelled up until he blocked the road, so Ibn Umar struck him with a stick he had with him until he broke it on him. Hafsa asked him, "What is it between you and him? Why are you bothered by him? Haven't you heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say that the Dajjal emerges from a fit of anger?" Affan said, "From a fit of anger," and Yunus, in his account, said, "Why are you so obsessed with him?"
Musnad Ahmad 26426Sahih
لَقِيتُ ابْنَ صَائِدٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ، فَأَمَّا مَرَّةً فَلَقِيتُهُ وَمَعَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقُلْتُ لِبَعْضِهِمْ: نَشَدْتُكُمْ بِاللهِ إِنْ سَأَلْتُكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ لَتَصْدُقُنِّي ! قَالُوا: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَتَحَدَّثُونَ أَنَّهُ هُوَ ؟ قَالُوا: لَا. قُلْتُ: كَذَبْتُمْ وَاللهِ، لَقَدْ حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُكُمْ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَقَلُّكُمْ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا أَنَّهُ لَا يَمُوتُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ أَكْثَرَكُمْ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا، وَهُوَ الْيَوْمَ كَذَلِكَ. قَالَ: فَتَحَدَّثْنَا، ثُمَّ فَارَقْتُهُ. ثُمَّ لَقِيتُهُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى وَقَدْ تَغَيَّرَتْ عَيْنُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: مَتَى فَعَلَتْ عَيْنُكَ مَا أَرَى ؟ قَالَ: لَا أَدْرِي. قُلْتُ: لَا تَدْرِي وَهِيَ فِي رَأْسِكَ ؟! فَقَالَ: مَا تُرِيدُ مِنِّي يَا ابْنَ عُمَرَ ؟ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَخْلُقَهُ مِنْ عَصَاكَ هَذِهِ خَلَقَهُ، وَنَخَرَ كَأَشَدِّ نَخِيرِ حِمَارٍ سَمِعْتُهُ قَطُّ. فَزَعَمَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِي أَنِّي ضَرَبْتُهُ بِعَصًا كَانَتْ مَعِي حَتَّى تَكَسَّرَتْ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَوَاللهِ مَا شَعَرْتُ. [قَالَ: ] فَدَخَلَ عَلَى أُخْتِهِ حَفْصَةَ فَأَخْبَرَهَا فَقَالَتْ: مَا تُرِيدُ مِنْهُ ؟ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ - تَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ -: إِنَّ [أَوَّلَ خُرُوجِهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ] غَضْبَةٌ يَغْضَبُهَا. ؟
I met lbn Sayyad twice and said to some of them (his friends): You state that it was he (the Dajjal). He said: By Allah, it is not so. I said: You have not told me the truth; by Allah some of you informed me that he would not die until he would have the largest number of offspring and huge wealth and it is he about whom it is thought so. Then Ibn Sayyad talked to us. I then departed and met him again for the second time and his eye had been swollen. I said: What has happened to your eye? He said: I do not know. I said: This is in your head and you do not know about it? He said: If Allah so wills He can create it (eye) in your staff. He then produced a sound like the braying of a donkey. Some of my companions thought that I had struck him with the staff as he was with me that the staff broke into pieces, but, by Allah, I was not conscious of it. He then came to the Mother of the Faithful (Hafsa) and narrated it to her and she said: What concern you have with him? Don't you know that Allah's Apostle ﷺ said that the first thing (by the incitement of which) he would come out before the public would be his anger? (Using translation from Muslim 2932b)
Musnad Ahmad 26427Sahih
لَقِيتُ ابْنَ صَائِدٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا، قَالَتْ: مَا أَرَدْتَ إِلَيْهِ ؟ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنَّ أَوَّلَ خُرُوجِهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ غَضْبَةٌ يَغْضَبُهَا
✧ I met Ibn Sayyad twice and mentioned the account except that he said: I went to Hafsa, the Mother of the Believers, and informed her. She said, "What did you want from him? Did you not know that he said that his first appearance to the people will be due to an anger that he will have?"
Musnad Ahmad 26428Sahih
لَقِيتُ ابْنَ صَائِدٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ، فَأَمَّا مَرَّةً فَلَقِيتُهُ وَمَعَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ. قَالَ: وَنَخَرَ كَأَشَدِّ نَخِيرِ حِمَارٍ سَمِعْتُهُ. قَالَ: فَزَعَمَ أَصْحَابِي أَنِّي ضَرَبْتُهُ بِعَصًا كَانَتْ مَعِي حَتَّى انْكَسَرَتْ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَلَمْ أَشْعُرْ بِذَلِكَ. فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أُخْتِي حَفْصَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا بِذَلِكَ، فَقَالَتْ: وَمَا أَرَدْتَ إِلَيْهِ ؟ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنَّ أَوَّلَ خُرُوجِهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ غَضْبَةٌ يَغْضَبُهَا
✧ Some of my companions claimed that I hit him with a stick that I had with me until it broke. As for me, I did not feel that. So, I went to my sister Hafsah, the mother of the believers, and told her about it. She said, "What did you want from him? Don't you know that his first anger towards people is a sudden burst of anger?"
Musnad Ahmad 26429Sahih

She said, "And I was praying in the chamber, and Allah revealed this verse to him: 'Indeed, Allah intends to remove from you the impurity, O people of the Prophet's household, and to purify you with thorough purification.' (Quran 33:33) She said, "So he took the edge of the cloth and covered them with it, then he raised his hand and with it pointed towards the sky. Then he said, "O Allah, they are my family and my chosen ones, so remove impurity from them and purify them with thorough purification." She said, "I entered the house and said, 'And I am with you, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Indeed, you are with good, indeed you are with good.' Abdul-Malik reported to me from Abu Layla, from Umm Salamah, with a similar narration from Ata, without any difference.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: 'I will not give you less than what I gave your sisters: two millstones, a jar, and a leather cushion stuffed with palm fiber.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would come to her to consummate the marriage, but when she saw him, she took her daughter Zaynab and placed her in her lap, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would leave. 'Ammar b. Yasir, who was her foster brother, learned of this, so he came to her and said: 'Where is this ugly, unpleasant girl with whom you have annoyed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He took her and went away with her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and entered upon her, and he began looking around the corners of the house and said: 'What did Zunab do?' She said: 'Ammar came and took her away.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ consummated the marriage with her and said to her: 'If you wish, I will give you seven nights, but if I give you seven nights, I will give seven to my wives.'

He said: 'This is a day on which it is permitted for you, when you have thrown the pebbles, to come out of ihram—meaning from everything you were forbidden, except women. If evening comes before you have circumambulated this House, you return to a state of ihram as you were before throwing the pebbles, until you circumambulate it.'

Mihsan went out from my presence in a group of men from Banu Asad wearing shirts on the evening of the Day of Sacrifice, then they returned to me at night carrying their shirts on their hands. She said: I said, 'O Ukashah, what is the matter with you that you went out wearing shirts, then you returned carrying your shirts on your hands?' He said, 'Good news, O Umm Qays. This was a day on which it was permitted for us, when we had thrown the pebbles at the Jamrah, to be released from everything we had been forbidden, except regarding women, until we circumambulated the House. And when evening came and we had not circumambulated it, we returned to a state of ihram just as we had been before throwing the pebbles, until we circumambulated it. So evening came and we had not circumambulated, so we took off our shirts as you see.'

She said, "If you wish, perform Umrah before Hajj, and if you wish, after Hajj." I said, "But they say that whoever is performing Hajj for the first time should not perform Umrah before Hajj." So I asked the Mothers of the Believers, and they said the same as she did. I returned to her and informed her of their words. She said, "Yes, and I will cure you of doubt.

✧ When news of al-Husayn b. Ali's death came, she cursed the people of Iraq and said, "They killed him, may Allah kill them! They deceived him and led him to his doom, may Allah curse them! For I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: Fatimah came to him in the morning with a pot in which she had made porridge for him, carrying it on a tray until she placed it before him. He said to her, 'Where is your cousin?' She said, 'He is in the house.' He said, 'Go and call him, and bring me his two sons.' She came leading her two sons, each by a hand, and Ali was walking behind them until they entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He seated the two boys in his lap, and Ali sat on his right, and Fatimah sat on his left. Umm Salamah said: Then he pulled from beneath me a Khaybari cloak that had been a covering for us on the bed in Madinah. The Prophet ﷺ wrapped it over all of them, then he took the two ends of the cloak with his left hand and raised his right hand toward his Lord, Mighty and Majestic, and said, 'O Allah, these are my family. Remove from them impurity and purify them thoroughly! O Allah, these are my family. Remove from them impurity and purify them thoroughly! O Allah, these are the people of my house. Remove from them impurity and purify them thoroughly!' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, am I not from your family?' He said, 'Yes, so enter under the cloak.' She said, 'So I entered under the cloak after he had finished his supplication for his cousin Ali and his two sons and his daughter Fatimah ؓ.'"

✧ She claimed that Fatimah came to the Prophet of Allah ﷺ complaining about the household work. She said, "O Prophet of Allah, by Allah, my hands have become calloused from the mill, grinding at times and kneading at times!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "If Allah provides you with something, it will come to you. I will guide you to something better than that: when you lie down to sleep, glorify Allah thirty-three times, say Allahu akbar thirty-three times, and praise Allah thirty-four times; that is one hundred, and it is better for you than a servant. And when you pray the morning prayer, say: 'There is no god but Allah alone, without partner; to Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs praise; He gives life and gives death; in His hand is all good; and He has power over all things.' Say it ten times after the morning prayer and ten times after the sunset prayer. Each one of these will be recorded as ten good deeds, will erase ten bad deeds, and each one is like freeing a slave from the descendants of Ismail. No sin committed that day can catch up with it except shirk. 'There is no god but Allah alone, without partner'—it is your protection from the time you say it in the morning until you say it in the evening, from every devil and every evil."

شُغِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ، فَصَلَّاهُمَا بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ

I am past childbearing, I am jealous, and I have dependents.' He said: 'I am older than you. As for jealousy, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will remove it. As for dependents, they are to Allah and His Messenger.' So he married her and began coming to her, saying: 'Where is Zunāb?' until ʿAmmār b. Yāsir came one day and took her away, saying: 'This one prevents the Messenger of Allah ﷺ,' and she was nursing her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and said: 'Where is Zunāb?' Qarībah bt. Abī Umayyah, who was with her, said: 'ʿAmmār b. Yāsir took her.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'I will come to you tonight.' She said: 'I got up and brought out some grains of barley that were in a jar, and I brought out some fat and cooked it for him.' She said: 'The Prophet ﷺ spent the night, then in the morning he said: 'You have honor with your family. If you wish, I will spend seven nights with you; but if I spend seven nights with you, I will also spend seven with my other wives.'

✧ I asked ‘Abd Allāh b. al-Ḥārith about the two rak‘ahs after ‘aṣr, and he said: We were with Mu‘āwiyah when Ibn al-Zubayr reported from ‘Ā’ishah that the Prophet ﷺ used to pray them. So Mu‘āwiyah sent to ‘Ā’ishah while I was among them, and we asked her. She said: I did not hear it from the Prophet ﷺ, but Umm Salamah narrated to me. So I asked her, and Umm Salamah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ prayed ẓuhr, then something was brought to him and he began distributing it until the time for ‘aṣr prayer arrived. He stood and prayed ‘aṣr, then prayed two rak‘ahs after it. When he had prayed them, he said: These two rak‘ahs I used to pray after ẓuhr. Umm Salamah said: I did tell her that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade them. He said: So I went to Mu‘āwiyah and informed him of that, and Ibn al-Zubayr said: Did he not pray them? I will continue to pray them. Mu‘āwiyah said to him: You are indeed contrary; you never cease to love opposition as long as you live!

✧ A woman whose husband died, and they feared for her eye, so they came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked his permission for kohl. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: One of you used to remain in her house in her worst garments—or in the worst of her garments in her house—for a full year; then, when a dog passed by, she would throw a dung pellet and come out. So is it not just four months and ten?

إِذَا أَصَابَ أَحَدَكُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ فَلْيَقُلْ: إِنَّا لِلهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ، عِنْدَكَ أَحْتَسِبُ مُصِيبَتِي، فَأْجُرْنِي فِيهَا وَأَبْدِلْنِي مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهَا. فَلَمَّا احْتُضِرَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ اخْلُفْنِي فِي أَهْلِي بِخَيْرٍ. فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ قُلْتُ: إِنَّا لِلهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ، اللَّهُمَّ عِنْدَكَ أَحْتَسِبُ مُصِيبَتِي فَأْجُرْنِي فِيهَا. قَالَتْ: وَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ: وَأَبْدِلْنِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، فَقُلْتُ: وَمَنْ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ؟ فَمَا زِلْتُ حَتَّى قُلْتُهَا. فَلَمَّا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا خَطَبَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَرَدَّتْهُ، ثُمَّ خَطَبَهَا عُمَرُ فَرَدَّتْهُ. فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ: مَرْحَبًا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَبِرَسُولِهِ ! أَخْبِرْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَنِّي امْرَأَةٌ غَيْرَى، وَأَنِّي مُصْبِيَةٌ، وَأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِي شَاهِدًا. فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَمَّا قَوْلُكِ: إِنِّي مُصْبِيَةٌ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ سَيَكْفِيكِ صِبْيَانَكِ. وَأَمَّا قَوْلُكِ: إِنِّي غَيْرَى، فَسَأَدْعُو اللهَ أَنْ يُذْهِبَ غَيْرَتَكِ. وَأَمَّا الْأَوْلِيَاءُ فَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ شَاهِدٌ وَلَا غَائِبٌ إِلَّا سَيَرْضَانِي. قُلْتُ: يَا عُمَرُ، قُمْ فَزَوِّجْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَمَا إِنِّي لَا أُنْقِصُكِ شَيْئًا مِمَّا أَعْطَيْتُ أُخْتَكِ فُلَانَةَ: رَحَيَيْنِ، وَجَرَّتَيْنِ، وَوِسَادَةً مِنْ أَدَمٍ حَشْوُهَا لِيفٌ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْتِيهَا، فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَخَذَتْ زَيْنَبَ فَوَضَعَتْهَا فِي حَجْرِهَا لِتُرْضِعَهَا. وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَيِيًّا كَرِيمًا يَسْتَحْيِي فَيَرْجِعُ، فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا، فَفَطِنَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ لِمَا تَصْنَعُ. فَأَقْبَلَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، وَجَاءَ عَمَّارٌ - وَكَانَ أَخَاهَا لِأُمِّهَا - فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَانْتَشَطَهَا مِنْ حَجْرِهَا، وَقَالَ: دَعِي هَذِهِ الْمَقْبُوحَةَ الْمَشْقُوحَةَ الَّتِي آذَيْتِ بِهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ. قَالَ: وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَخَلَ فَجَعَلَ يُقَلِّبُ بَصَرَهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَيَقُولُ: أَيْنَ زُنَابُ ؟ مَا فَعَلَتْ زُنَابُ ؟ قَالَتْ: جَاءَ عَمَّارٌ فَذَهَبَ بِهَا. قَالَ: فَبَنَى بِأَهْلِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنْ شِئْتِ أَنْ أُسَبِّعَ لَكِ سَبَّعْتُ لِلنِّسَاءِ.
✧ When one of you is afflicted with a calamity, let him say: 'Indeed we belong to Allah and indeed to Him we will return. O Allah, with You I seek reward for my calamity, so reward me in it and replace it for me with something better.' When Abu Salamah was dying he said: O Allah, leave behind for my family something better. When he died I said: Indeed we belong to Allah and indeed to Him we will return. O Allah, with You I seek reward for my calamity, so reward me in it. She said: I wanted to say: 'And replace it for me with something better,' but I said: Who is better than Abu Salamah? I kept saying it until I said it. When her waiting period ended, Abu Bakr proposed to her and she refused him, then Umar proposed to her and she refused him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent to her, and she said: Welcome to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and to his messenger! Tell the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that I am a jealous woman, and I have children, and none of my guardians is present. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent to her: As for your saying that you have children, Allah will suffice you for your children. As for your saying that you are jealous, I will supplicate Allah to remove your jealousy. As for the guardians, there is none of them, present or absent, but he will be pleased with me. I said: O Umar, stand and marry the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Indeed, I will not reduce for you anything of what I gave your sister so-and-so: two hand-mills, two water jars, and a leather cushion stuffed with palm fiber. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to her, and when he came she would take Zaynab and place her in her lap to breastfeed her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was modest and generous; he would feel shy and go back. She did that several times. Ammar b. Yasir noticed what she was doing. One day he came, and Ammar came—he was her maternal brother—and entered upon her; he snatched her from her lap and said: Leave this ugly, disfigured one with which you have harmed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and entered; he began looking around the house and saying: Where is Zunab? What has Zunab done? She said: Ammar came and took her away. He said: Then he consummated the marriage with his wife, and then said: If you wish, I will spend seven nights with you, and then seven for the other wives.

The Prophet ﷺ said: Disagreement will occur at the death of a caliph and a man of the people of Medina will come flying forth to Mecca. Some of the people of Mecca will come to him, bring him out against his will and swear allegiance to him between the Corner and the Maqam. An expeditionary force will then be sent against him from Syria but will be swallowed up in the desert between Mecca and Medina. When the people see that, the eminent saints of Syria and the best people of Iraq will come to him and swear allegiance to him between the Corner and the Maqam. Then there will arise a man of Quraysh whose maternal uncles belong to Kalb and send against them an expeditionary force which will be overcome by them, and that is the expedition of Kalb. Disappointed will be the one who does not receive the booty of Kalb. He will divide the property, and will govern the people by the Sunnah of their Prophet ﷺ and establish Islam on Earth.

✧ Whoever is afflicted by a calamity should say: ‘We belong to God and to Him we return. O God, with You I seek recompense for my calamity, so reward me in it and replace it for me with something better than it.’ When Abū Salamah died, I said it, and every time I reached ‘and replace it for me with something better than it,’ I said to myself: Who is better than Abū Salamah? Then I said it. When her waiting period ended, Abū Bakr sent to her to propose marriage, but she did not marry him. Then the Messenger of God ﷺ sent ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb to her to propose on his behalf. She said, “Tell the Messenger of God ﷺ that I am a jealous woman, and I am a woman with children, and none of my guardians is present.” He came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said, “Return to her and say: As for your saying that you are a jealous woman, I will supplicate God, Mighty and Majestic, and He will remove your jealousy. As for your saying that you are a woman with children, your children will be taken care of. As for your saying that none of your guardians is present, there is none of your guardians, present or absent, who would dislike that.”

✧ We performed Hajj, then we departed to Madinah. We entered upon Safiyyah bt. Huyayy and found women from the people of Kufah with her. They said to us: If you wish, you ask and we listen; and if you wish, we ask and you listen. We said: Ask. So they asked about some matters concerning a woman and her husband, and concerning menstruation. Then they asked about nabidh made in earthenware jars. She said: You have asked us a great deal, O people of Iraq, about nabidh made in earthenware jars. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade nabidh made in earthenware jars. What is wrong with one of you cooking her dates, then mashing them, then straining them, then putting it in her waterskin and tying it shut? When it becomes good, she drinks it and gives it to her husband to drink.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ حَجَّ بِنِسَائِهِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي بَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ نَزَلَ رَجُلٌ فَسَاقَ بِهِنَّ فَأَسْرَعَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: كَذَاكَ سَوْقُكَ بِالْقَوَارِيرِ ؟ يَعْنِي النِّسَاءَ. فَبَيْنَا هُمْ يَسِيرُونَ بَرَكَ بِصَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيٍّ جَمَلُهَا - وَكَانَتْ مِنْ أَحْسَنِهِنَّ ظَهْرًا -، فَبَكَتْ. وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ أُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ، فَجَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ دُمُوعَهَا بِيَدِهِ وَجَعَلَتْ تَزْدَادُ بُكَاءً وَهُوَ يَنْهَاهَا. فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرَتْ زَبَرَهَا وَانْتَهَرَهَا، وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ بِالنُّزُولِ فَنَزَلُوا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ. قَالَتْ: فَنَزَلُوا، وَكَانَ يَوْمِي. فَلَمَّا نَزَلُوا ضُرِبَ خِبَاءُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَدَخَلَ فِيهِ. قَالَتْ: فَلَمْ أَدْرِ عَلَامَ أُهْجَمُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي نَفْسِهِ شَيْءٌ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: تَعْلَمِينَ أَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ أَبِيعُ يَوْمِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِشَيْءٍ أَبَدًا، وَإِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبْتُ يَوْمِي لَكِ عَلَى أَنْ تُرْضِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِّي، قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَأَخَذَتْ عَائِشَةُ خِمَارًا لَهَا قَدْ ثَرَدَتْهُ بِزَعْفَرَانٍ فَرَشَّتْهُ بِالْمَاءِ لِيَذْكَى رِيحُهُ، ثُمَّ لَبِسَتْ ثِيَابَهَا، ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَرَفَعَتْ طَرَفَ الْخِبَاءِ. فَقَالَ لَهَا: مَا لَكِ يَا عَائِشَةُ ؟ إِنَّ هَذَا لَيْسَ بِيَوْمِكِ. قَالَتْ: ذَلِكَ فَضْلُ اللهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ. فَقَالَ مَعَ أَهْلِهِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ الرَّوَاحِ قَالَ لِزَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ: يَا زَيْنَبُ، أَفْقِرِي أُخْتَكِ صَفِيَّةَ جَمَلًا. وَكَانَتْ مِنْ أَكْثَرِهِنَّ ظَهْرًا، فَقَالَتْ: أَنَا أُفْقِرُ يَهُودِيَّتَكَ ؟ فَغَضِبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حِينَ سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهَا فَهَجَرَهَا، فَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْهَا حَتَّى قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ وَأَيَّامَ مِنًى فِي سَفَرِهِ، حَتَّى رَجَعَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، وَالْمُحَرَّمَ وَصَفَرَ، فَلَمْ يَأْتِهَا وَلَمْ يَقْسِمْ لَهَا، وَيَئِسَتْ مِنْهُ. فَلَمَّا كَانَ شَهْرُ رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَرَأَتْ ظِلَّهُ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ هَذَا لَظِلُّ رَجُلٍ، وَمَا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَمَنْ هَذَا ؟ فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَصْنَعُ حِينَ دَخَلْتَ عَلَيَّ، قَالَتْ: وَكَانَتْ لَهَا جَارِيَةٌ، وَكَانَتْ تَخْبَؤُهَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالَتْ: فُلَانَةُ لَكَ. فَمَشَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى سَرِيرِ زَيْنَبَ وَكَانَ قَدْ رُفِعَ فَوَضَعَهُ بِيَدِهِ، ثُمَّ أَصَابَ أَهْلَهُ وَرَضِيَ عَنْهُمْ
✧ Abdul Razzaq was mentioned in my book, Sumayyah bint Huyay, that the Prophet ﷺ performed Hajj with his wives. While they were on the way, a man came and took hold of the reins of the camels, causing them to move faster. The Prophet ﷺ said, "This is how you control your market with bottles," meaning, women. While they were walking, Safiyyah bint Huyay's camel stumbled and she fell down. She began to cry, and when the Prophet ﷺ was informed of this, he wiped her tears with his hand. Her crying increased, and while he tried to stop her, her weeping grew louder. He instructed the people to stop and they did. It was my day, so when they stopped, the Prophet ﷺ struck me on my chest and entered a tent. I wondered why the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was so angry with me. I feared that there was something wrong with him, so I went to Aisha and said, "You know very well that I have never sold my day to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for anything. Indeed, I had donated my day to you in order to please the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She replied, "Yes, I know." I said, "Sheikh's favor is from Allah, and He grants favor to whom He wills." He said, "Go and join your family." When she objected, the Prophet ﷺ did not speak to her until he reached Makkah and stayed there for a few days. Then, during the journey back to Madinah, he passed by al-Muharram. He did not come to her or divide anything with her. She lost hope in him. In the month of Rabi' al-Awwal, he came to her and she saw his shadow. She said, "This is the shadow of a person, and the Prophet ﷺ does not enter upon me. Who is this?" The Prophet ﷺ entered and she said, "O Messenger of Allah, I do not know what to do when you enter upon me." She had a servant whom she used to hide from the Prophet ﷺ. She said, "It is yours, Fulanah." The Prophet ﷺ went to the bed of Zainab, which had been raised, and put it in his hand. Then, he went to his wife and was pleased with them.

So do not wish for death.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ سُتِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَاغْتَسَلَ فِي الضُّحَى، فَصَلَّى ثَمَانِ رَكَعَاتٍ لَا يُدْرَى أَقِيَامُهَا أَطْوَلُ أَمْ سُجُودُهَا. ؟
✧ On the day of the conquest, the Prophet ﷺ had a screen set up for him and he performed ghusl in the forenoon, then he prayed eight rak'ahs; it was not known whether his standing or his prostration was longer.

✧ The Prophet ﷺ came to Makkah once, and he had four braids.
سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: وَتَأْتُونَ فِي نَادِيكُمُ الْمُنْكَرَ قَالَ: كَانُوا يَخْذِفُونَ أَهْلَ الطَّرِيقِ وَيَسْخَرُونَ مِنْهُمْ، فَذَاكَ الْمُنْكَرُ الَّذِي كَانُوا يَأْتُونَ
✧ In his conversation, my mother, Umm Hanee, told me that she asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about His saying "And you organize yourselves for the enjoining of what is right." [Surah Al-Ankabut: 29]. He said, "They used to reject and make fun of the people of virtue on the path. That is the wrongdoing that they used to engage in." He ﷺ continued, "And that is what Allah Almightly said 'And you organize yourselves for the enjoining of what is right.' [Surah Al-Ankabut: 29]."
Musnad Ahmad 26892Sahih
لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ أَجَرْتُ حَمْوَيْنِ لِي مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، إِذْ طَلَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَعَلَيْهِ رَهْجَةُ الْغُبَارِ فِي مِلْحَفَةٍ مُتَوَشِّحًا بِهَا. فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَالَ: مَرْحَبًا بِفَاخِتَةَ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ. قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَجَرْتُ حَمْوَيْنِ لِي مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ أَجَرْنَا مَنْ أَجَرْتِ، [وَآمَنَّا مَنْ آمَنْتِ]. ثُمَّ أَمَرَ فَاطِمَةَ فَسَكَبَتْ لَهُ مَاءً فَتَغَسَّلَ بِهِ، فَصَلَّى ثَمَانِ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي الثَّوْبِ مُتَلَبِّبًا بِهِ. وَذَلِكَ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ ضُحًى
✧ On the day of the conquest of Makkah, I granted protection to two of my in-laws from the polytheists, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appeared with dust on him, wrapped in a cloak. When he saw me, he said: Welcome to Fakhitah, Umm Hani. I said: O Messenger of Allah, I have granted protection to two of my in-laws from the polytheists. He said: We have granted protection to those you have granted protection, and we have given safety to those you have given safety. Then he told Fatimah, and she poured water for him, and he performed ghusl with it, then he prayed eight rak'ahs in the garment, wrapping it around himself. That was on the day of the conquest of Makkah in the forenoon.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَدَعَا بِشَرَابٍ فَشَرِبَ، ثُمَّ نَاوَلَهَا فَشَرِبَتْ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَمَا إِنِّي كُنْتُ صَائِمَةً، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: الصَّائِمُ الْمُتَطَوِّعُ أَمِيرُ نَفْسِهِ إِنْ شَاءَ صَامَ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَفْطَرَ
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon her and called for a drink and drank, then he handed it to her and she drank, and she said: O Messenger of Allah, I was fasting. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The voluntary faster is the master of his own affair; if he wishes he fasts, and if he wishes he breaks his fast.
Musnad Ahmad 26894Sahih
أَنَا أَسْمَعُ قِرَاءَةَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَرِيشِي هَذَا وَهُوَ عِنْدَ الْكَعْبَةِ

✧ I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the year of the conquest and said: O Messenger of Allah, I have granted protection to two of my in-laws, but the son of my mother claims he will kill him—meaning 'Ali. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: We have granted protection to those you have granted protection, O Umm Hani. Water was poured for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he performed ghusl, then he wrapped himself in a garment he had on, crossing its two ends over his shoulder, and he prayed the forenoon prayer eight rak'ahs.
لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ جَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ حَتَّى قَعَدَتْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، وَجَاءَتْ أُمُّ هَانِئٍ فَقَعَدَتْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَجَاءَتِ الْوَلِيدَةُ بِشَرَابٍ، فَتَنَاوَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَشَرِبَ. ثُمَّ نَاوَلَهُ أُمَّ هَانِئٍ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَقَالَتْ: لَقَدْ كُنْتُ صَائِمَةً، فَقَالَ لَهَا: أَشَيْئًا تَقْضِينَهُ عَلَيْكِ ؟ قَالَتْ: لَا. قَالَ: لَا يَضُرُّكِ إِذًا
✧ On the day of the conquest of Makkah, Fatimah came and sat on his left side, and Umm Hani came and sat on his right side. Then, a little girl came with a drink, which the Prophet ﷺ drank from. Afterwards, Umm Hani handed it to him from his right side. She said, "I have been fasting." He asked her if she had anything important to do, and she replied, "No." He said, "Then fasting will not harm you."

Musnad Ahmad 26900Sahih
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ بَيْتَهَا يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ، فَاغْتَسَلَ وَصَلَّى ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ. مَا رَأَتْهُ صَلَّى صَلَاةً قَطُّ أَخَفَّ مِنْهَا، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُتِمُّ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ

✧ She went to the Prophet ﷺ on the day of the conquest. She said: I found him performing ghusl while Fatimah was screening him with a cloth. I greeted him, and that was in the forenoon. He said: "Who is this?" I said: "I am Umm Hani'." I said: "O Messenger of God, the son of my mother claims he will kill a man whom I have granted protection to—namely, so-and-so, son of Hubayrah." The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "We grant protection to the one you have granted protection to, O Umm Hani'."

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ entered upon her on the day of the conquest, and a drink was brought to him, and he drank. Then he handed it to me, and I said: "I am fasting." The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "The voluntary faster is a commander over himself, so if you wish, fast; and if you wish, break your fast."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ شَرِبَ شَرَابًا فَنَاوَلَهَا لِتَشْرَبَ فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي صَائِمَةٌ، وَلَكِنْ كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَرُدَّ سُؤْرَكَ، فَقَالَ - يَعْنِي -: إِنْ كَانَ قَضَاءً مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَاقْضِي يَوْمًا مَكَانَهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ تَطَوُّعًا فَإِنْ شِئْتِ فَاقْضِي، وَإِنْ شِئْتِ فَلَا تَقْضِي
✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ drank a drink and then handed it to her to drink. She said: "I am fasting, but I hated to reject your leftover."

مَرَّ بِي ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي قَدْ كَبِرْتُ وَضَعُفْتُ - أَوْ كَمَا قَالَتْ -، فَمُرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ أَعْمَلُهُ وَأَنَا جَالِسَةٌ. قَالَ: سَبِّحِي اللهَ مِائَةَ تَسْبِيحَةٍ فَإِنَّهَا تَعْدِلُ لَكِ مِائَةَ رَقَبَةٍ تُعْتِقِينَهَا مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَاحْمَدِي اللهَ مِائَةَ تَحْمِيدَةٍ؛ فَإِنَّهَا تَعْدِلُ لَكِ مِائَةَ فَرَسٍ مُسْرَجَةٍ مُلْجَمَةٍ تَحْمِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، وَكَبِّرِي اللهَ مِائَةَ تَكْبِيرَةٍ؛ فَإِنَّهَا تَعْدِلُ لَكِ مِائَةَ بَدَنَةٍ مُقَلَّدَةٍ مُتَقَبَّلَةٍ، وَهَلِّلِي اللهَ مِائَةَ تَهْلِيلَةٍ. قَالَ ابْنُ خَلَفٍ: أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: تَمْلَأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ، وَلَا يُرْفَعُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِأَحَدٍ عَمَلٌ إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِمِثْلِ مَا أَتَيْتِ بِهِ
✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ passed by me one day, and I said: "O Messenger of God, I have become old and weak — or as she said — so command me to an action I can do while sitting." He said: "Glorify God with one hundred glorifications, for they will equal for you one hundred slaves you would free from the children of Isma'il. Praise God with one hundred praises, for they will equal for you one hundred saddled, bridled horses you would mount in the path of God. Extol God's greatness with one hundred takbirs, for they will equal for you one hundred garlanded, accepted camels. And declare God's oneness with one hundred tahlils." Ibn Khalaf said: I think he said: "It fills what is between the heaven and the earth. And on that day, no one's deed will be raised unless he brings the like of what you have brought."
Musnad Ahmad 26912Sahih
قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ: لَيْسَ لِي إِلَّا مَا أَدْخَلَ الزُّبَيْرُ بَيْتِي، قَالَ: أَنْفِقِي، وَلَا تُوكِي فَيُوكَى عَلَيْكِ
✧ I said to the Prophet ﷺ: "I have nothing except what al-Zubayr brings into my house." He said: "Spend, and do not hoard, lest God withhold from you."
