انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ لِأَجْلِبَ بِغَالًا. قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُ السُّوقَ وَلَمْ يَقُمْ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِصَاحِبٍ لِي: لَوْ دَخَلْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ وَمَوْضِعُهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي أَصْحَابِ التَّمْرِ، فَإِذَا فِيهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَيْسٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ: ابْنُ الْمُنْتَفِقِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: وُصِفَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَحُلِّيَ، فَطَلَبْتُهُ بِمَكَّةَ فَقِيلَ لِي: هُوَ بِمِنًى. فَطَلَبْتُهُ بِمِنًى. فَقِيلَ لِي: هُوَ بِعَرَفَاتٍ. فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَزَاحَمْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقِيلَ لِي: إِلَيْكَ عَنْ طَرِيقِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: دَعُوا الرَّجُلَ. أَرَبٌ مَا لَهُ. قَالَ: فَزَاحَمْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى خَلَصْتُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ: فَأَخَذْتُ بِخِطَامِ رَاحِلَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ - أَوْ قَالَ: زِمَامِهَا. هَكَذَا حَدَّثَ مُحَمَّدٌ - حَتَّى اخْتَلَفَتْ أَعْنَاقُ رَاحِلَتَيْنَا قَالَ: فَمَا يَزَعُنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ - أَوْ قَالَ: مَا غَيَّرَ عَلَيَّ. هَكَذَا حَدَّثَ مُحَمَّدٌ -. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: ثِنْتَانِ أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْهُمَا مَا يُنَجِّينِي مِنَ النَّارِ ؟ وَمَا يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ ؟ قَالَ: فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، ثُمَّ نَكَسَ رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ بِوَجْهِهِ. قَالَ: لَئِنْ كُنْتَ أَوْجَزْتَ فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ، لَقَدْ أَعْظَمْتَ وَأَطْوَلْتَ، فَاعْقِلْ عَنِّي إِذًا: اعْبُدِ اللهَ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِهِ شَيْئًا، وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ، وَأَدِّ الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ، وَصُمْ رَمَضَانَ. وَمَا تُحِبُّ أَنْ يَفْعَلَهُ بِكَ النَّاسُ فَافْعَلْهُ بِهِمْ، وَمَا تَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيْكَ النَّاسُ فَذَرِ النَّاسَ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: خَلِّ سَبِيلَ الرَّاحِلَةِ
✧ I set out to Kufa to buy mules. He said: I came to the market and it had not yet started. He said: I said to a companion of mine: "Let us enter the mosque; at that time its location was among the date-sellers." There was a man from Qays called Ibn al-Muntafiq, and he was saying: "The Messenger of God ﷺ was described to me and adorned (with qualities), so I sought him in Makkah and was told: 'He is in Mina.' I sought him in Mina and was told: 'He is in Arafat.' I reached him and pressed forward through the crowd, but it was said to me: 'Get away from the path of the Messenger of God ﷺ.' He said: 'Leave the man alone; what need does he have?' He said: So I pressed forward until I reached him. He said: I took hold of the halter of the Messenger of God's ﷺ mount — or he said: its rein; this is how Muhammad narrated — until the necks of our two mounts interlocked. He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ did not rebuke me — or he said: did not reproach me; this is how Muhammad narrated. He said: I said: "Two things I ask you about: what will save me from the Fire? And what will admit me to Paradise?" He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ looked at the sky, then lowered his head, then turned his face toward me and said: "If you have been brief in asking, you have indeed magnified and lengthened. So understand from me: worship God and do not associate anything with Him, establish the prescribed prayer, give the obligatory zakat, and fast Ramadan. Whatever you love for people to do to you, do it to them. Whatever you dislike for people to bring upon you, leave people alone from it." Then he said: "Release the mount's halter."
Musnad Ahmad 27154No grade recorded
دَخَلْتُ مَسْجِدَ الْكُوفَةِ أَوَّلَ مَا بُنِيَ مَسْجِدُهَا، وَهُوَ فِي أَصْحَابِ التَّمْرِ يَوْمَئِذٍ، وَجُدُرُهُ مِنْ سِهْلَةٍ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ قَالَ: بَلَغَنِي حَجَّةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَجَّةُ الْوَدَاعِ. قَالَ: فَاسْتَتْبَعْتُ رَاحِلَةً مِنْ إِبِلِي، ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ حَتَّى جَلَسْتُ لَهُ فِي طَرِيقِ عَرَفَةَ - أَوْ وَقَفْتُ لَهُ فِي طَرِيقِ عَرَفَةَ -. قَالَ: فَإِذَا رَكْبٌ عَرَفْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهِمْ بِالصِّفَةِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَمَامَهُ: خَلِّ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الرِّكَابِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: وَيْحَهُ، فَأَرَبٌ [مَا] لَهُ. فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى اخْتَلَفَتْ رَأْسُ النَّاقَتَيْنِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ، وَيُنَجِّينِي مِنَ النَّارِ قَالَ: بَخٍ بَخٍ لَئِنْ كُنْتَ قَصَّرْتَ فِي الْخُطْبَةِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتَ فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ: اتَّقِ اللهَ، لَا تُشْرِكْ بِهِ شَيْئًا، وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ، وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ، وَتَحُجُّ الْبَيْتَ, وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ. خَلِّ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الرِّكَابِ.
✧ I entered the mosque of Kufa when its mosque was first built, and at that time it was among the date-sellers, and its walls were of smooth stones. There was a man narrating to the people; he said: "I learned of the Messenger of God's ﷺ Hajj, the Farewell Hajj. He said: I took a mount from my camels as a mount for myself, then I set out until I sat waiting for him on the road to Arafah — or stood waiting for him on the road to Arafah." He said: Then there was a group of riders, and I recognized the Messenger of God ﷺ among them by the description. A man in front of him said: "Clear the way for the mounts!" The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "Woe to him; what need does he have?" I drew near to him until the heads of the two she-camels interlocked. He said: I said: "O Messenger of God, guide me to a deed that will admit me to Paradise and save me from the Fire." He said: "Excellent, excellent! If you have been brief in speech, you have indeed been thorough in asking. Fear God, associate nothing with Him, establish the prayer, give the zakat, perform the Hajj to the House, and fast Ramadan. Clear the way for the mounts!"

سَمِعْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ نَحْوَهُ.:
✧ I heard this hadith from al-Mughirah b. 'Abd Allah, from his father, similar to it.:
Musnad Ahmad 27156Sahih
كُلُوا لُحُومَ الْأَضَاحِيِّ، وَادَّخِرُوا
✧ "Eat the meat of sacrificial animals and store it."
Musnad Ahmad 27157Sahih
أَتَيْتُ هَذِهِ - يَعْنِي امْرَأَتَهُ - وَعِنْدَهَا لَحْمٌ مِنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ قَدْ رَفَعَتْهُ، فَرَفَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا الْعَصَا، فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ فُلَانًا أَتَانَا، فَأَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: إِنِّي كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُكُمْ أَنْ تُمْسِكُوا لُحُومَ الْأَضَاحِيِّ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، فَكُلُوا وَادَّخِرُوا
✧ I came to this—meaning his wife—and she had some of the sacrificial meat that she had stored away. I raised the stick against her, and she said, 'So-and-so came to us and informed us that the Messenger of God ﷺ said: I had forbidden you to keep the meat of sacrificial animals beyond three days, but now eat it and store it.'
أَنَّ قَتَادَةَ بْنَ النُّعْمَانِ الظَّفَرِيَّ وَقَعَ بِقُرَيْشٍ، فَكَأَنَّهُ نَالَ مِنْهُمْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَا قَتَادَةُ، لَا تَسُبَّنَّ قُرَيْشًا؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تَرَى مِنْهُمْ رِجَالًا تَزْدَرِي عَمَلَكَ مَعَ أَعْمَالِهِمْ وَفِعْلَكَ مَعَ أَفْعَالِهِمْ، وَتَغْبِطُهُمْ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ. لَوْلَا أَنْ تَطْغَى قُرَيْشٌ لَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ بِالَّذِي لَهُمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
✧ Qatada b. al-Nu'man al-Zafari fell out with Quraysh, and it was as if he disparaged them. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'O Qatada, do not revile Quraysh, for perhaps you will see men among them whose deeds you will despise in comparison with your own deeds, and whose actions you will despise in comparison with your own actions, and you will envy them when you see them. Were it not that Quraysh would become arrogant, I would have told them what they have with God, Mighty and Majestic.'
Musnad Ahmad 27159Sahih
مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ، مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُحْسِنْ إِلَى جَارِهِ، مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ
✧ Whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him honor his guest. Whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him be good to his neighbor. Whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silent.
Musnad Ahmad 27160Sahih
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ: إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ، وَلَمْ يُحَرِّمْهَا النَّاسُ، فَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلَا يَسْفِكَنَّ فِيهَا دَمًا، وَلَا يَعْضُدَنَّ فِيهَا شَجَرًا. فَإِنْ تَرَخَّصَ مُتَرَخِّصٌ فَقَالَ: أُحِلَّتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ أَحَلَّهَا لِي وَلَمْ يُحِلَّهَا لِلنَّاسِ. وَهِيَ سَاعَتِي هَذِهِ حَرَامٌ إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ. إِنَّكُمْ مَعْشَرَ خُزَاعَةَ قَتَلْتُمْ هَذَا الْقَتِيلَ، وَإِنِّي عَاقِلُهُ، فَمَنْ قُتِلَ لَهُ قَتِيلٌ بَعْدَ مَقَالَتِي هَذِهِ فَأَهْلُهُ بَيْنَ خِيَرَتَيْنِ إِمَّا أَنْ يَقْتُلُوا أَوْ يَأْخُذُوا الْعَقْلَ
✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said on the day of the conquest of Makkah: 'God, Mighty and Majestic, made Makkah sacred; people did not make it sacred. Whoever believes in God and the Last Day must not shed blood in it or cut down a tree in it. If someone takes license and says, "It was made permissible for the Messenger of God ﷺ," then indeed God made it permissible for me and did not make it permissible for the people. It is sacred now and will remain sacred until the Hour begins. You, the tribe of Khuza'a, killed this victim, and I am paying his blood money. Whoever has a victim killed after my statement, his family has two choices: either to kill or to accept the blood money.'
Musnad Ahmad 27161Sahih
مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ جَارَهُ، مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ، مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ، جَائِزَتُهُ يَوْمٌ وَلَيْلَةٌ. الضِّيَافَةُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ، فَمَا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ. لَا يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَثْوِيَ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى يُحْرِجَهُ
✧ Whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him honor his neighbor. Whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silent. Whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him honor his guest. His reward is a day and a night. Hospitality is three days; whatever is beyond that is charity. It is not lawful for him to stay with him until he causes him hardship.
Musnad Ahmad 27162Sahih
وَاللهِ لَا يُؤْمِنُ، وَاللهِ لَا يُؤْمِنُ، وَاللهِ لَا يُؤْمِنُ! قَالُوا: وَمَا ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: الْجَارُ لَا يَأْمَنُ جَارُهُ بَوَائِقَهُ. قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَمَا بَوَائِقُهُ ؟ قَالَ: شَرُّهُ
✧ By God, he does not believe! By God, he does not believe! By God, he does not believe! They said, 'What is that, O Messenger of God?' He said, 'The neighbor whose neighbor does not feel safe from his wrongful acts.' They said, 'O Messenger of God, what are his wrongful acts?' He said, 'His evil.'
إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْجُلُوسَ عَلَى الصُّعُدَاتِ، فَمَنْ جَلَسَ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى الصَّعِيدِ فَلْيُعْطِهِ حَقَّهُ. قَالَ: قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَمَا حَقُّهُ ؟ قَالَ: غُضُوضُ الْبَصَرِ، وَرَدُّ التَّحِيَّةِ، وَأَمْرٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ، وَنَهْيٌ عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ
✧ Beware of sitting in the roads. Whoever of you sits in the road, let him give it its right. He said: We said, 'O Messenger of God, what is its right?' He said, 'Lowering the gaze, returning the greeting, enjoining good, and forbidding evil.'
Musnad Ahmad 27164Sahih
أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ - وَهُوَ يَبْعَثُ الْبُعُوثَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ -: ائْذَنْ لِي أَيُّهَا الْأَمِيرُ، أُحَدِّثْكَ قَوْلًا قَامَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْغَدَ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْفَتْحِ سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنَايَ، وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي، وَأَبْصَرَتْهُ عَيْنَايَ، حَيْثُ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ: إِنَّهُ حَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنَّ مَكَّةَ حَرَّمَهَا اللهُ وَلَمْ يُحَرِّمْهَا النَّاسُ، فَلَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرِئٍ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَنْ يَسْفِكَ فِيهَا دَمًا، وَلَا يَعْضُدَ فِيهَا شَجَرَةً، فَإِنْ أَحَدٌ تَرَخَّصَ بِقِتَالِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهَا فَقُولُوا: إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَذِنَ لِرَسُولِهِ وَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لَكُمْ، وَإِنَّمَا أَذِنَ لِي فِيهَا سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ. وَقَدْ عَادَتْ حُرْمَتُهَا الْيَوْمَ كَحُرْمَتِهَا فَلْيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ، فَقِيلَ لِأَبِي شُرَيْحٍ: مَا قَالَ لَكَ عَمْرٌو ؟ قَالَ: قَالَ: أَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِذَلِكَ مِنْكَ يَا أَبَا شُرَيْحٍ، إِنَّ الْحَرَمَ لَا يُعِيذُ عَاصِيًا، وَلَا فَارًّا بِدَمٍ، وَلَا فَارًّا بِجِزْيَةٍ
✧ He said to 'Amr b. Sa'id, while he was dispatching troops to Makkah: 'Permit me, O commander, to tell you a statement that the Messenger of God ﷺ made the day after the conquest. My ears heard it, my heart retained it, and my eyes saw it when he spoke it. He praised God and extolled Him. Then he said: God made Makkah sacred; people did not make it sacred. It is not lawful for anyone who believes in God and the Last Day to shed blood in it or cut down a tree in it. If anyone takes license by the fighting of the Messenger of God ﷺ in it, then say: God, Mighty and Majestic, permitted His Messenger and did not permit you. I was only permitted in it for an hour of the day. Its sanctity has returned today as it was, so let the present inform the absent.' It was said to Abu Shuraih, 'What did 'Amr say to you?' He said, 'He said: I know that better than you, O Abu Shuraih. The sanctuary does not protect a disobedient person, nor one fleeing from blood guilt, nor one fleeing from the jizya.'
Musnad Ahmad 27165Sahih
الضِّيَافَةُ ثَلَاثٌ وَجَائِزَتُهُ يَوْمٌ وَلَيْلَةٌ، وَلَا يَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يُقِيمَ عِنْدَ أَخِيهِ حَتَّى يُؤْثِمَهُ. قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَمَا يُؤْثِمُهُ ؟ قَالَ: يُقِيمُ عِنْدَهُ، وَلَا يَجِدُ شَيْئًا يَقُوتُهُ
✧ Hospitality is three days, and its reward is a day and a night. It is not lawful for anyone to stay with his brother until he causes him to sin. They said, 'O Messenger of God, how does he cause him to sin?' He said, 'He stays with him, and he does not find anything to sustain him with.'
Musnad Ahmad 27166Sahih
إِنَّ أَرْوَاحَ الشُّهَدَاءِ فِي طَائِرٍ خُضْرٍ تَعْلُقُ مِنْ ثَمَرِ الْجَنَّةِ. وَقُرِئَ عَلَى سُفْيَانَ: نَسَمَةٌ تَعْلُقُ فِي ثَمَرِ أَوْ شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ
✧ The souls of the martyrs are in green birds that cling to the fruit of Paradise. And recited to Sufyan: 'a soul that clings to the fruit or trees of Paradise.'
Musnad Ahmad 27167Sahih
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْكُلُ بِثَلَاثِ أَصَابِعَ، وَلَا يَمْسَحُ يَدَهُ حَتَّى يَلْعَقَهَا.
✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ used to eat with three fingers and would not wipe his hand until he licked it.
Musnad Ahmad 27168Sahih
أَنَّ جَارِيَةً لَهُمْ سَوْدَاءَ ذَبَحَتْ شَاةً بِمَرْوَةٍ. فَذَكَرَ [ذَلِكَ] كَعْبٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَأَمَرَهُ بِأَكْلِهَا
✧ A black slave girl of theirs slaughtered a sheep with a sharp stone. Ka'b mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, and he ordered him to eat it.

✧ He used to eat with three fingers, and when he finished, he would lick them.
Musnad Ahmad 27170Sahih
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَقْدَمُ مِنْ سَفَرٍ إِلَّا فِي الضُّحَى، فَيَبْدَأُ بِالْمَسْجِدِ فَيُصَلِّي فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيَقْعُدُ فِيهِ.
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not return from a journey except in the forenoon. He would start with the mosque, pray two rak'ahs in it, and then sit in it.
Musnad Ahmad 27171Sahih
مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَالْخَامَةِ مِنَ الزَّرْعِ تُفَيِّئُهَا الرِّيَاحُ، تَصْرَعُهَا مَرَّةً وَتَعْدِلُهَا أُخْرَى حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ أَجَلُهُ. وَمَثَلُ الْكَافِرِ مَثَلُ الْأَرْزَةِ الْمُجْذِيَةِ عَلَى أَصْلِهَا، لَا يُقِلُّهَا شَيْءٌ حَتَّى يَكُونَ انْجِعَافُهَا مَرَّةً
✧ The example of the believer is like a young plant of the crop which the winds bend; it throws it down once and straightens it another time until his term comes. The example of the disbeliever is like the cedar tree standing firm on its roots, nothing can shake it until it is uprooted all at once.
Musnad Ahmad 27172Sahih
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا يَقْدَمُ مِنْ سَفَرٍ إِلَّا نَهَارًا فِي الضُّحَى. وَإِذَا قَدِمَ بَدَأَ بِالْمَسْجِدِ، فَصَلَّى فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فِيهِ.
✧ The Prophet ﷺ would not return from a journey except in the daytime, in the forenoon. When he arrived, he would start with the mosque, pray two rak'ahs in it, and then sit in it.
Musnad Ahmad 27173Sahih
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ مُلَازِمٌ رَجُلًا، فَقَالَ: مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، غَرِيمٌ لِي، وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ النِّصْفَ. قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَأَخَذَ الشَّطْرَ وَتَرَكَ الشَّطْرَ
✧ The Prophet ﷺ passed by him while he was holding a man in a dispute. He said: What is this? He said: O Messenger of Allah, a debtor of mine. And he gestured with his hand that he should take half. I said: O Messenger of Allah, yes. He said: So he took half and left half.
Musnad Ahmad 27174Sahih
إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ فِي الشِّعْرِ مَا أَنْزَلَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُجَاهِدُ بِسَيْفِهِ وَلِسَانِهِ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَكَأَنَّ مَا تَرْمُونَهُمْ بِهِ نَضْحُ النَّبْلِ
✧ "He said to the Prophet ﷺ, 'Indeed, Allah has revealed in poetry what He has revealed.' So he said, 'Verily, the believer fights with his sword and tongue. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, it is as if you are sprinkling them with nobility.'"
Musnad Ahmad 27175Sahih
أَلَمْ تَكُنِ ابْتَعْتَ ظَهْرَكَ ؟ قُلْتُ: بَلَى. يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ. قَالَ: فَمَا خَلَّفَكَ ؟ قُلْتُ: وَاللهِ لَوْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ غَيْرَكَ جَلَسْتُ لَخَرَجْتُ مِنْ سَخْطَتِهِ بِعُذْرٍ لَقَدْ أُوتِيتُ جَدَلًا ! وَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ: لَرَأَيْتُ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مِنْ سَخْطَتِهِ بِعُذْرٍ. وَفِي حَدِيثِ عُقَيْلٍ: أَخْرُجُ مِنْ سَخْطَتِهِ بِعُذْرٍ، وَفِيهِ: لَيُوشِكَنَّ أَنَّ اللهَ يُسْخِطُكَ عَلَيَّ، وَلَئِنْ حَدَّثْتُكَ حَدِيثَ صِدْقٍ تَجِدُ عَلَيَّ فِيهِ، إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو فِيهِ عَفْوَ اللهِ. ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ - وَلَكِنْ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ [أَنِّي] إِنْ أَخْبَرْتُكَ الْيَوْمَ بِقَوْلٍ تَجِدُ عَلَيَّ فِيهِ وَهُوَ حَقٌّ، فَإِنِّي أَرْجُو فِيهِ عَفْوَ اللهِ، وَإِنْ حَدَّثْتُكَ الْيَوْمَ حَدِيثًا تَرْضَى عَنِّي فِيهِ وَهُوَ كَذِبٌ أُوشِكُ أَنْ يُطْلِعَكَ اللهُ عَلَيَّ. وَاللهِ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَا كُنْتُ قَطُّ أَيْسَرَ، وَلَا أَخَفَّ حَاذًا مِنِّي حِينَ تَخَلَّفْتُ عَنْكَ. فَقَالَ: أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ صَدَقَكُمُ الْحَدِيثَ، قُمْ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ اللهُ فِيكَ. فَقُمْتُ، فَثَارَ عَلَى أَثَرِي نَاسٌ مِنْ قَوْمِي يُؤَنِّبُونَنِي. فَقَالُوا: وَاللهِ مَا نَعْلَمُكَ أَذْنَبْتَ ذَنْبًا قَطُّ قَبْلَ هَذَا فَهَلَّا اعْتَذَرْتَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِعُذْرٍ يَرْضَى عَنْكَ فِيهِ، فَكَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَيَأْتِي مِنْ وَرَاءِ ذَنْبِكَ، وَلِمَ تُقِفْ نَفْسَكَ مَوْقِفًا لَا تَدْرِي مَاذَا يُقْضَى لَكَ فِيهِ ؟ فَلَمْ يَزَالُوا يُؤَنِّبُونَنِي حَتَّى هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَرْجِعَ فَأُكَذِّبَ نَفْسِي، فَقُلْتُ: هَلْ قَالَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ أَحَدٌ غَيْرِي ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ. هِلَالُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ، وَمُرَارَةُ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ رَبِيعَةَ - فَذَكَرُوا [لِي] رَجُلَيْنِ صَالِحَيْنِ قَدْ شَهِدَا بَدْرًا لِي فِيهِمَا - يَعْنِي - أُسْوَةً، فَقُلْتُ: وَاللهِ لَا أَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ فِي هَذَا أَبَدًا، وَلَا أُكَذِّبُ نَفْسِي. وَنَهَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ النَّاسَ عَنْ كَلَامِنَا أَيُّهَا الثَّلَاثَةُ. قَالَ: فَجَعَلْتُ أَخْرُجُ إِلَى السُّوقِ فَلَا يُكَلِّمُنِي أَحَدٌ، وَتَنَكَّرَ لَنَا النَّاسُ حَتَّى مَا هُمْ بِالَّذِينَ نَعْرِفُ، وَتَنَكَّرَتْ لَنَا الْحِيطَانُ حَتَّى مَا هِيَ بِالْحِيطَانِ الَّتِي نَعْرِفُ، وَتَنَكَّرَتْ لَنَا الْأَرْضُ حَتَّى مَا هِيَ بِالْأَرْضِ الَّتِي نَعْرِفُ. وَكُنْتُ أَقْوَى أَصْحَابِي، فَكُنْتُ أَخْرُجُ فَأَطُوفُ بِالْأَسْوَاقِ وَآتِي الْمَسْجِدَ، فَأَدْخُلُ وَآتِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ، فَأَقُولُ: هَلْ حَرَّكَ شَفَتَيْهِ بِالسَّلَامِ ؟ فَإِذَا قُمْتُ أُصَلِّي إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ، فَأَقْبَلْتُ قِبَلَ صَلَاتِي، نَظَرَ إِلَيَّ بِمُؤَخَّرِ عَيْنَيْهِ. وَإِذَا نَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ أَعْرَضَ عَنِّي. وَاسْتَكَانَ صَاحِبَايَ فَجَعَلَا يَبْكِيَانِ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ، لَا يُطْلِعَانِ رُؤُوسَهُمَا. فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَطُوفُ السُّوقَ إِذَا رَجُلٌ نَصْرَانِيٌّ جَاءَ بِطَعَامٍ [لَهُ] يَبِيعُهُ يَقُولُ: مَنْ يَدُلُّ عَلَى كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، فَطَفِقَ النَّاسُ يُشِيرُونَ لَهُ إِلَيَّ فَأَتَانِي وَأَتَانِي بِصَحِيفَةٍ مِنْ مَلِكِ غَسَّانَ فَإِذَا فِيهَا: أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ صَاحِبَكَ قَدْ جَفَاكَ وَأَقْصَاكَ وَلَسْتَ بِدَارِ مَضْيَعَةٍ، وَلَا هَوَانٍ فَالْحَقْ بِنَا نُوَاسِكَ، فَقُلْتُ: هَذَا أَيْضًا مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ وَالشَّرِّ، فَسَجَرْتُ لَهَا التَّنُّورَ، وَأَحْرَقْتُهَا فِيهِ. فَلَمَّا مَضَتْ أَرْبَعُونَ لَيْلَةً إِذَا رَسُولٌ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَدْ أَتَانِي فَقَالَ: اعْتَزِلِ امْرَأَتَكَ. فَقُلْتُ: أُطَلِّقُهَا ؟ قَالَ: لَا. وَلَكِنْ لَا تَقْرَبَنَّهَا. فَجَاءَتِ امْرَأَةُ هِلَالٍ فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ هِلَالَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ شَيْخٌ ضَعِيفٌ، فَهَلْ تَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أَخْدُمَهُ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. وَلَكِنْ لَا يَقْرَبَنَّكِ. قَالَتْ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَا بِهِ حَرَكَةٌ لِشَيْءٍ، مَا زَالَ مُكِبًّا يَبْكِي اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ مُنْذُ كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَا كَانَ. قَالَ كَعْبٌ: فَلَمَّا طَالَ عَلَيَّ الْبَلَاءُ اقْتَحَمْتُ عَلَى أَبِي قَتَادَةَ حَائِطَهُ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّي - فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ. فَقُلْتُ: أَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ يَا أَبَا قَتَادَةَ، أَتَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ؟ فَسَكَتَ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: أَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ يَا أَبَا قَتَادَةَ، أَتَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ؟ قَالَ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: فَلَمْ أَمْلِكْ نَفْسِي أَنْ بَكَيْتُ، ثُمَّ اقْتَحَمْتُ الْحَائِطَ خَارِجًا. حَتَّى إِذَا مَضَتْ خَمْسُونَ لَيْلَةً مِنْ حِينِ نَهَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ النَّاسَ عَنْ كَلَامِنَا صَلَّيْتُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ لَنَا صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ، ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ وَأَنَا فِي الْمَنْزِلَةِ الَّتِي قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: قَدْ ضَاقَتْ عَلَيْنَا الْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ، وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْنَا أَنْفُسُنَا إِذْ سَمِعْتُ نِدَاءً مِنْ ذُرْوَةِ سَلْعٍ: أَنْ أَبْشِرْ يَا كَعْبُ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، فَخَرَرْتُ سَاجِدًا، وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ جَاءَنَا بِالْفَرَجِ. ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ يَرْكُضُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ يُبَشِّرُنِي، فَكَانَ الصَّوْتُ أَسْرَعَ مِنْ فَرَسِهِ، فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ ثَوْبَيَّ بِشَارَةً، وَلَبِسْتُ ثَوْبَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ. وَكَانَتْ تَوْبَتُنَا نَزَلَتْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُلُثَ اللَّيْلِ. فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ عَشِيَّتَئِذٍ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، أَلَا نُبَشِّرُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ؟ قَالَ: إِذًا يَحْطِمَنَّكُمُ النَّاسُ وَيَمْنَعُونَكُمُ النَّوْمَ سَائِرَ اللَّيْلَةِ. وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ مُحْسِنَةً مُحْتَسِبَةً فِي شَأْنِي، تَحْزَنُ بِأَمْرِي، فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَإِذَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَحَوْلَهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَهُوَ يَسْتَنِيرُ كَاسْتِنَارَةِ الْقَمَرِ، وَكَانَ إِذَا سُرَّ بِالْأَمْرِ اسْتَنَارَ. فَجِئْتُ فَجَلَسْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ: أَبْشِرْ يَا كَعْبُ بْنَ مَالِكٍ بِخَيْرِ يَوْمٍ أَتَى عَلَيْكَ مُنْذُ يَوْمِ وَلَدَتْكَ أُمُّكَ! قُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، أَمِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ أَوْ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ ؟ قَالَ: بَلْ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ثُمَّ تَلَا عَلَيْهِمْ: لَقَدْ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَالْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالأَنْصَارِ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ: إِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ قَالَ: وَفِينَا نَزَلَتْ أَيْضًا اتَّقُوا اللهَ وَكُونُوا مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ لَا أُحَدِّثَ إِلَّا صِدْقًا، وَأَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي كُلِّهِ صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ. فَقَالَ: أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ، فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ. قُلْتُ: فَإِنِّي أُمْسِكُ سَهْمِي الَّذِي بِخَيْبَرَ. قَالَ: فَمَا أَنْعَمَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيَّ نِعْمَةً بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ أَعْظَمَ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْ صِدْقِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ صَدَقْتُهُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبَايَ، أَنْ لَا نَكُونَ كَذَبْنَا فَهَلَكْنَا كَمَا هَلَكُوا. إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَبْلَى أَحَدًا فِي الصِّدْقِ مِثْلَ الَّذِي أَبْلَانِي، مَا تَعَمَّدْتُ لِكَذِبَةٍ بَعْدُ. وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَحْفَظَنِي اللهُ فِيمَا بَقِيَ. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وفي طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة: غزاة. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وما بين المعقوفين غير موجود في طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة. 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: الحيطان. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وما بين المعقوفين غير موجود في طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة.
✧ "Did you not buy your riding camel?" I said: Yes, O Prophet of Allah. He said: "What kept you back?" I said: By Allah, if I were sitting before any other person among the people, I would have come out of his displeasure with an excuse, for I have been given ability in argument! Ya'qub said, from the son of my brother Ibn Shihab: "I would have seen that I come out of his displeasure with an excuse." In the hadith of 'Uqayl: "I would come out of his displeasure with an excuse," and in it: "Soon Allah will make you angry with me, and if I tell you a true story you will be displeased with me, but I hope for Allah's forgiveness in it." Then he returned to the hadith of 'Abd al-Razzaq - "But I know, O Prophet of Allah, [that if] I tell you today something that you will be displeased with and it is true, then I hope for Allah's forgiveness in it; and if I tell you today a story that will please you and it is false, then soon Allah may expose me. By Allah, O Prophet of Allah, I was never more comfortable, nor lighter in equipment, than when I stayed behind from you." He said: "As for this one, he has told you the truth. Stand until Allah decides in your case." So I stood up, and people from my tribe followed me, rebuking me. They said: By Allah, we do not know that you ever committed a sin before this. Why did you not make an excuse to the Prophet ﷺ with which he would be pleased with you? For the Prophet's ﷺ seeking forgiveness would have come after your sin. Why do you put yourself in a position where you do not know what will be decided for you? They kept rebuking me until I thought of going back and denying myself. I said: Did anyone else say this same statement? They said: Yes. Hilal b. Umayyah and Murarah - meaning Ibn Rabi'ah. They mentioned [to me] two righteous men who had witnessed Badr, and in them there was a model for me. I said: By Allah, I will never return to him in this matter, nor will I deny myself. The Prophet ﷺ forbade the people from speaking to us three. I would go out to the market and no one would speak to me. The people became strangers to us, even the walls became strangers to us, even the land became strange to us, until it was not the land we knew. I was the strongest of my companions, so I would go out and walk around the markets, and I would come to the mosque and enter, and I would come to the Prophet ﷺ and greet him, and I would say: Did he move his lips in returning the greeting? When I stood to pray facing a pillar and turned toward my prayer, he looked at me with the corner of his eyes, and when I looked at him he turned away from me. My two companions became subdued and wept night and day, not raising their heads. While I was walking around the market, a Christian man came with food of his to sell, saying: Who will direct me to Ka'b b. Malik? The people began pointing at me, so he came to me with a letter from the king of Ghassan, and in it was: To proceed, it has reached me that your companion has alienated you and removed you, and you are not in a house of waste or humiliation. Join us and we will console you. I said: This is also part of the trial and evil. So I kindled the oven for it and burned it in it. When forty nights had passed, a messenger from the Prophet ﷺ came to me and said: Withdraw from your wife. I said: Should I divorce her? He said: No, but do not approach her. The wife of Hilal came and said: O Messenger of Allah, Hilal b. Umayyah is a weak old man. Do you permit me to serve him? He said: Yes, but he must not approach you. She said: O Prophet of Allah, he has no movement for anything, he has been weeping night and day since his affair occurred. Ka'b said: When the trial became long for me, I climbed over the wall of Abu Qatadah - and he was my paternal cousin - and greeted him, but he did not return my greeting. I said: I adjure you by Allah, O Abu Qatadah, do you know that I love Allah and His Messenger? He remained silent. Then I said: I adjure you by Allah, O Abu Qatadah, do you know that I love Allah and His Messenger? He said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: I could not control myself and I wept, then I climbed over the wall going out. When fifty nights had passed since the Prophet ﷺ forbade the people from speaking to us, I prayed the dawn prayer on the roof of a house of ours, then I sat in the position about which Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: The earth had become straitened for us despite its vastness, and our own selves had become straitened for us, when I heard a caller from the top of Sal' mountain: Rejoice, O Ka'b b. Malik! So I fell down in prostration, and I knew that Allah had brought us relief. Then a man came galloping on a horse to give me the good news, and the voice was faster than his horse. I gave him my two garments as a good-news gift, and wore two other garments. Our repentance had been revealed to the Prophet ﷺ at the last third of the night. Umm Salamah said that evening: O Prophet of Allah, shall we not give good news to Ka'b b. Malik? He said: Then the people would crush you and prevent you from sleeping the rest of the night. Umm Salamah was kind and devoted in my affair, grieving for my situation. I went to the Prophet ﷺ and found him sitting in the mosque with the Muslims around him, and he was shining like the shining of the moon, and when he was pleased with something, he would shine. I came and sat before him, and he said: Rejoice, O Ka'b b. Malik, in the best day that has come upon you since the day your mother gave birth to you! I said: O Prophet of Allah, is it from Allah or from you? He said: Rather from Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Then he recited to them: Allah has certainly turned in mercy to the Prophet and the Emigrants and the Helpers until he reached: Indeed, Allah is the Accepter of repentance, the Merciful. He said: And about us was also revealed: Fear Allah and be with the truthful. I said: O Prophet of Allah, part of my repentance is that I will never speak except the truth, and that I will divest myself of all my wealth as charity to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and to His Messenger. He said: Keep some of your wealth, for that is better for you. I said: Then I will keep my share in Khaybar. He said: Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has not bestowed upon me any blessing after Islam greater in my soul than my truthfulness to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when I was truthful to him, I and my two companions, lest we be liars and perish as they perished. I hope that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has not tested anyone in truthfulness like He tested me. I have not intentionally told any lie since. And I hope that Allah will protect me in what remains.

لَمَّا وَلَدَتْ فَاطِمَةُ حَسَنًا قَالَتْ: أَلَا أَعُقُّ عَنِ ابْنِي بِدَمٍ ؟ قَالَ: لَا، وَلَكِنِ احْلِقِي رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ تَصَدَّقِي بِوَزْنِ شَعَرِهِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ عَلَى الْمَسَاكِينِ أَوِ الْأَوْفَاضِ. وَكَانَ الْأَوْفَاضُ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ. مُحْتَاجِينَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ - أَوْ فِي الصُّفَّةِ -. وَقَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ: مِنَ الْوَرِقِ عَلَى الْأَوْفَاضِ - يَعْنِي أَهْلَ الصُّفَّةِ - أَوْ عَلَى الْمَسَاكِينِ. فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ. قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا وَلَدْتُ حُسَيْنًا فَعَلْتُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ
✧ When Fatimah gave birth to Hasan, she said: "Shall I not perform an 'aqiqah for my son with blood?" He said: "No, but shave his head, then give in charity the weight of his hair in silver to the poor or to the Ahl al-Suffah." The Ahl al-Suffah were people among the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who were needy in the mosque—or in the suffah. Abu al-Nadr said: "from silver to the Ahl al-Suffah—meaning the people of the suffah—or to the poor." So I did that. She said: When I gave birth to Husayn, I did the same.

✧ When he heard the muezzin, he said the like of what he said. When he said: "Hayya 'ala al-salah (Come to prayer)," he said: "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (There is no might and no power except with Allah)."
كَانَ إِذَا ضَحَّى، اشْتَرَى كَبْشَيْنِ سَمِينَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ، فَإِذَا صَلَّى وَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ، أَتَى بِأَحَدِهِمَا وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ، فَذَبَحَهُ بِنَفْسِهِ بِالْمُدْيَةِ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا عَنْ أُمَّتِي جَمِيعًا، مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ لَكَ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ، وَشَهِدَ لِي بِالْبَلَاغِ. ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى بِالْآخَرِ، فَيَذْبَحُهُ بِنَفْسِهِ وَيَقُولُ: هَذَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ. فَيُطْعِمُهُمَا جَمِيعًا الْمَسَاكِينَ، وَيَأْكُلُ هُوَ وَأَهْلُهُ مِنْهُمَا. فَمَكَثْنَا سِنِينَ لَيْسَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ يُضَحِّي قَدْ كَفَاهُ اللهُ الْمَئُونَةَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَالْغُرْمَ.
✧ When he offered a sacrifice, he would buy two fat, horned, black-and-white rams. When he had prayed and addressed the people, one of them was brought while he was standing in his prayer place, and he slaughtered it himself with a knife. Then he said: "O Allah, this is on behalf of my entire ummah—those who bore witness to Your oneness and bore witness to my conveying of the message." Then the other was brought, and he slaughtered it himself and said: "This is on behalf of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad." He would feed both of them to the poor, and he and his family would eat from them. So we remained for years, and no man of Banu Hashim sacrificed—Allah had sufficed them the burden and expense through the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed 'Asr, he would sometimes go to Banu 'Abd al-Ashhal and converse with them until he went down for Maghrib.

That alarmed me, and I fell back, thinking that he meant me. He said: "What is the matter with you? Walk." I said: "Did I do something wrong, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "What is that?" I said: "You said 'uff' to me." He said: "No, but this is the grave of so-and-so. I sent him as a collector to Banu so-and-so, and he stole a striped cloak, so he has now been clothed in the like of it from fire."
فَكَسَرَ ذَلِكَ فِي ذَرْعِي، وَقَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَحْدَثْتُ حَدَثًا ؟ قَالَ: وَمَا ذَاكَ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَفَّفْتُ
✧ That alarmed me, and he said: I said: "Did I do something wrong?" He said: "What is that?" He said: I said: "You said 'uff'."

Then he said, “Hand me the other foreleg,” so I handed him the other foreleg. Then he said, “Hand me the other foreleg.” He said, “O Messenger of Allah, a sheep has only two forelegs.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, “If you had remained silent, you would have kept handing me foreleg after foreleg as long as you remained silent.” Then he called for water, rinsed his mouth, and washed the tips of his fingers. Then he stood and prayed. Then he returned to them and found cold meat with them, so he ate. Then he entered the mosque and prayed without touching water.

هَاجَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَمِنَّا مَنْ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ شَيْئًا. مِنْهُمْ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ لَمْ يَتْرُكْ إِلَّا نَمِرَةً إِذَا غَطَّوْا بِهَا رَأْسَهُ بَدَتْ رِجْلَاهُ، وَإِذَا غَطَّيْنَا رِجْلَيْهِ بَدَا رَأْسُهُ، فَقَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: غَطُّوا رَأْسَهُ، وَجَعَلْنَا عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ إِذْخِرًا. قَالَ: وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَيْنَعَ الثِّمَارَ فَهُوَ يَهْدِبُهَا
✧ We emigrated with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Among us were those who died without consuming any of their reward. Among them was Mus'ab b. Umayr, who left nothing but a striped cloak: when they covered his head with it, his feet showed, and when we covered his feet, his head showed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us: 'Cover his head,' and we placed idhkhir (a fragrant grass) on his feet. He said: And among us are those whose fruits have ripened and he is plucking them.

✧ We complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was reclining on a cloak in the shade of the Kaaba. We said: 'Will you not seek victory for us from Allah, Mighty and Majestic – or, will you not, meaning, seek victory for us?' He said: 'A man among those before you would be taken, a pit dug for him in the earth, then a saw brought and placed on his head, splitting him into two halves, and that did not turn him away from his religion. And he would be combed with iron combs, removing the flesh and sinew from his bones, and that did not turn him away from his religion. By Allah, Allah will complete this matter until a rider travels from Madinah to Hadramawt fearing none but Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and the wolf for his sheep, but you are impatient.'

Then he said: 'Listen!' We said: 'We are listening.'

✧ I entered upon Khabbab when he had cauterized himself seven times, and he said: 'Were it not that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "None of you should wish for death," I would have wished for it. I saw myself with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when I did not possess a single dirham, and now in one corner of my house there are forty thousand dirhams.' He said: Then his shroud was brought, and when he saw it he wept and said: 'But Hamzah had no shroud found for him except a striped cloak: when it was placed over his head, it shrank from his feet, and when placed over his feet, it shrank from his head, until it was stretched over his head and idhkhir was placed on his feet.'

✧ I said: Two sons of mine died in Islam, O Messenger of Allah. He [the narrator] said: Then he said: 'Whoever loses two sons in Islam, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will admit him to Paradise by the virtue of His mercy towards them.' He said: Then after that, Abu Hurayrah met me and said: 'Are you the one to whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said what he said about the two sons?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: Then he said: 'For it to have been said to me would be dearer to me than all that Hims and Palestine contain.'

✧ The Prophet of Allah ﷺ used to visit her every Friday, and she said: O Prophet of Allah—on the day of Badr—do you permit me to go out with you? I will nurse your sick and treat your wounded; perhaps Allah will grant me martyrdom. He said: Stay, for Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will grant you martyrdom. She had freed a slave-girl and a slave-boy of hers upon her death, but they waited too long, so they smothered her with a velvet cloth until she died, and they fled. Umar was brought the news, and it was said to him: Umm Waraqah's slave-boy and slave-girl killed her and fled. Umar stood among the people and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to visit Umm Waraqah, saying: Let us go visit the martyr. Her slave-girl so-and-so and her slave-boy so-and-so smothered her and then fled, so let no one give them shelter, and whoever finds them, let him bring them. They were brought and crucified, and they were the first two to be crucified.

He stood at the door, greeted them, and they returned the greeting. He said: 'I am the messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to you.' They said: 'Welcome to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and to the messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' He said: 'Do you pledge allegiance that you will not associate anything with Allah, will not steal, will not commit adultery, will not kill your children, will not bring a slander you fabricate between your hands and feet, and will not disobey in what is right?' They said: 'Yes.' 'Umar extended his hand from outside the door, and they extended their hands from inside. Then he said: 'O Allah, bear witness.' He commanded us to go out on the two 'Eids, the free women and the menstruating women, and we were forbidden from following funerals. And there is no Jumu'ah upon us. I asked him about the slander and about his saying, 'and will not disobey you in what is right.' He said: 'It is wailing.'

✧ About me—by God—and about Aws b. Ṣāmit did God, Mighty and Majestic, send down the opening of Sūrat al-Mujādilah. She said: I was with him, and he was an old man whose character had turned bad and who had become irritable. She said: One day he came in to me, and I argued with him about something. He became angry and said: “You are to me like my mother's back.” She said: Then he went out and sat in the gathering place of his people for a while. Then he came in to me, and there he was wanting me for himself. She said: I said: “No, by the One in whose hand is the soul of Khuwaylah, you will not get to me—after what you have said—until God and His Messenger judge between us with His ruling.” She said: He pounced on me, and I resisted him, and I overcame him as a woman overcomes a weak old man, and I threw him off me. She said: Then I went out to one of my neighbors and borrowed her clothes. Then I went out until I came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and sat before him. I told him what I had encountered from him, and I began to complain to him ﷺ about what I suffered from his bad character. She said: The Messenger of God ﷺ kept saying: “O Khuwaylah, your cousin is an old man, so fear God concerning him!” She said: By God, I did not leave until the Qur'an came down concerning me. The Messenger of God ﷺ was covered with what used to cover him, and then it was lifted from him. He said to me: “O Khuwaylah, God has sent down [revelation] concerning you and your companion.” Then he recited to me: “God has heard the words of the one who disputes with you about her husband and complains to God, and God hears your mutual conversation. Indeed, God is All-Hearing, All-Seeing” up to His words: “and for the disbelievers is a painful punishment.” [She said:] The Messenger of God ﷺ said to me: “Order him to free a slave.” She said: I said: “By God, O Messenger of God, he does not have what he could free.” He said: “Then let him fast two consecutive months.” She said: I said: “By God, O Messenger of God, he is an old man; there is no fasting in him.” He said: “Then let him feed sixty poor people a wasq of dates.” She said: I said: “By God, O Messenger of God, he does not have that.” She said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Then we will help him with an ʿaraq of dates.” She said: I said: “And I, O Messenger of God, will help him with another ʿaraq.” He said: “You have done well and acted beautifully. Go and give charity [with it] on his behalf, then take good care of your cousin.” She said: So I did.

✧ My husband Abū ʿAmr b. Ḥafṣ b. al-Mughīrah sent ʿAyyāsh b. Abī Rabīʿah to me with my divorce, and he sent me five ṣāʿs of dates and five ṣāʿs of barley. I said: “I have no maintenance except this, and I will not observe my waiting period in your house.” He said: “No.” So I tied my clothes firmly, then I came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said: “How many times did he divorce you?” I said: “Three.” He said: “He spoke the truth. You have no maintenance. Observe your waiting period in the house of your cousin Ibn Umm Maktūm, for he is blind; you can lay aside your clothes there. When your waiting period ends, inform me.” She said: Then suitors proposed to me, among them Muʿāwiyah and Abū al-Jahm. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Muʿāwiyah is poor and of little means, and Abū al-Jahm beats women—[rather, he is harsh with women—so upon you] is Usāmah b. Zayd”—or he said: “Marry Usāmah b. Zayd.”

But Usāmah...” He said: She gestured with her hand like this: “Usāmah! Usāmah!”—meaning she did not want him.

✧ Fatimah bint Qays, the sister of al-Dahhak b. Qays, informed him. She had been with a man from the Banu Makhzum, and she informed him that he divorced her three times and went out on one of the military expeditions. He ordered an agent of his to give her some maintenance, but she considered it little, and she went to one of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ entered while she was with her, and she said: “O Messenger of Allah, this is Fatimah bint Qays. So-and-so divorced her and sent her some maintenance, but she returned it, and he claimed it was something he gave voluntarily.” He said: “He has spoken the truth.” The Prophet ﷺ said: “Move to the dwelling of Ibn Umm Maktum.” My father said: Al-Khaffaf said: “Umm Kulthum, observe your waiting period with her.” Then he said: “No, Umm Kulthum has many visitors. Rather, move to ‘Abd Allah b. Umm Maktum, for he is blind.” She moved to ‘Abd Allah and observed her waiting period with him until it ended. Then Abu Jahm and Mu‘awiyah b. Abi Sufyan proposed to her. She came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to consult him about them. He said about Abu Jahm: “I fear for you his harshness with the staff.” Al-Khaffaf said: “his severity.” “As for Mu‘awiyah, he is a man devoid of wealth.” So she married Usamah b. Zayd after that.

✧ Abu ‘Amr b. Hafs b. al-Mughirah went out with ‘Ali b. Abi Talib to Yemen and sent to his wife Fatimah bint Qays the divorce that remained of her divorces, and he ordered al-Harith b. Hisham and ‘Ayyash b. Abi Rabi‘ah to give her maintenance. They said to her: “By Allah, you have no maintenance unless you are pregnant.” She came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned to him what they said. He said: “No, unless you are pregnant.” She asked his permission to move, and he permitted her. She said: “Where do you think, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “To Ibn Umm Maktum.” He was blind; she could put down her clothes with him and he would not see her. When her waiting period ended, the Prophet ﷺ married her to Usamah b. Zayd. Marwan sent Qabisah b. Dhu’ayb to her to ask her about this hadith, and she narrated it to him. Marwan said: “We have not heard this hadith except from a woman. We will uphold the established practice that we found the people upon.” Fatimah said when Marwan’s words reached her: “Between me and you is the Qur’an. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: ‘Do not turn them out of their houses, nor should they leave, unless they commit a clear indecency’ until He reached: ‘You do not know; perhaps Allah will bring about after that a matter.’” She said: “This is for the one who has the right to take back. What matter can be brought about after three divorces?”

اجْلِسُوا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَقُمْ مَقَامِي هَذَا لِفَزَعٍ، وَلَكِنْ تَمِيمٌ الدَّارِيُّ أَتَانِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي خَبَرًا مَنَعَنِي مِنَ الْقَيْلُولَةِ مِنَ الْفَرَحِ وَقُرَّةِ الْعَيْنِ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَنْشُرَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَرَحَ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ. أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ رَهْطًا مِنْ بَنِي عَمِّهِ رَكِبُوا الْبَحْرَ، فَأَصَابَتْهُمْ رِيحٌ عَاصِفٌ فَأَلْجَأَتْهُمُ الرِّيحُ إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ لَا يَعْرِفُونَهَا، فَقَعَدُوا فِي قُوَيْرِبِ سَفِينَةٍ حَتَّى خَرَجُوا إِلَى الْجَزِيرَةِ، فَإِذَا هُمْ بِشَيْءٍ أَهْلَبَ كَثِيرِ الشَّعَرِ، لَا يَدْرُونَ أَرَجُلٌ هُوَ أَوِ امْرَأَةٌ ؟ فَسَلَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامَ. فَقَالُوا: أَلَا تُخْبِرُنَا ؟ فَقَالَ: مَا أَنَا بِمُخْبِرِكُمْ وَلَا بِمُسْتَخْبِرِكُمْ، وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا الدَّيْرَ قَدْ رَهِقْتُمُوهُ فَفِيهِ مَنْ هُوَ إِلَى خَبَرِكُمْ بِالْأَشْوَاقِ أَنْ يُخْبِرَكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْبِرَكُمْ! قَالَ: قُلْنَا: مَا أَنْتَ ؟ قَالَتْ: أَنَا الْجَسَّاسَةُ، فَانْطَلَقُوا حَتَّى أَتَوُا الدَّيْرَ. فَإِذَا هُمْ بِرَجُلٍ مُوثَقٍ شَدِيدِ الْوَثَاقِ، مُظْهِرٍ الْحُزْنَ، كَثِيرِ التَّشَكِّي فَسَلَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَنْتُمْ ؟ قَالُوا: مِنَ الْعَرَبِ. قَالَ: مَا فَعَلَتِ الْعَرَبُ ؟ أَخَرَجَ نَبِيُّهُمْ بَعْدُ ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَمَا فَعَلُوا ؟ قَالُوا: خَيْرًا، آمَنُوا بِهِ وَصَدَّقُوهُ. قَالَ: ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ. وَكَانَ لَهُ عَدُوٌّ فَأَظْهَرَهُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِمْ ؟ قَالَ: فَالْعَرَبُ الْيَوْمَ إِلَهُهُمْ وَاحِدٌ، وَدِينُهُمْ وَاحِدٌ، وَكَلِمَتُهُمْ وَاحِدَةٌ ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَمَا فَعَلَتْ عَيْنُ زُغَرَ ؟ قَالَ: قَالُوا: صَالِحَةٌ يَشْرَبُ مِنْهَا أَهْلُهَا لِشَفَتِهِمْ، وَيَسْقُونَ مِنْهَا زَرْعَهُمْ. قَالَ: فَمَا فَعَلَ نَخْلٌ بَيْنَ عَمَّانَ وَبَيْسَانَ ؟ قَالُوا: صَالِحٌ يُطْعِمُ جَنَاهُ كُلَّ عَامٍ. قَالَ: فَمَا فَعَلَتْ بُحَيْرَةُ الطَّبَرِيَّةِ ؟ قَالُوا: مَلْأَى. قَالَ: فَزَفَرَ، ثُمَّ زَفَرَ، ثُمَّ زَفَرَ، ثُمَّ حَلَفَ لَوْ خَرَجْتُ مِنْ مَكَانِي هَذَا مَا تَرَكْتُ أَرْضًا مِنْ أَرْضِ اللهِ إِلَّا وَطِئْتُهَا، غَيْرَ طَيْبَةَ لَيْسَ لِي عَلَيْهَا سُلْطَانٌ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِلَى هَذَا انْتَهَى فَرَحِي - ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ - إِنَّ طَيْبَةَ الْمَدِينَةُ، إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَرَّمَ عَلَى الدَّجَّالِ أَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا. ثُمَّ حَلَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: وَاللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ، مَا لَهَا طَرِيقٌ ضَيِّقٌ وَلَا وَاسِعٌ، فِي سَهْلٍ وَلَا جَبَلٍ إِلَّا عَلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ شَاهِرٌ بِالسَّيْفِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، مَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الدَّجَّالُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا عَلَى أَهْلِهَا.:: كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وفي طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة: تميما. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وفي طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة: مستخبركم.
✧ Sit down, O people, for I have not stood in this place out of alarm, but Tamim al-Dari came to me and told me news that prevented me from taking a midday nap out of joy and delight. I wanted to share with you the joy of your Prophet ﷺ. He informed me that a group of his paternal cousins set out on the sea, and a violent wind overtook them and drove them to an island they did not recognize. They sat in a small boat until they came out onto the island. There they found a creature with abundant, thick hair, and they did not know whether it was a man or a woman. They greeted it, and it returned their greeting. They said: Will you not tell us? It said: I will not tell you, nor will I ask you, but in this monastery there is someone who longs to tell you and ask you. They said: What are you? It said: I am al-Jassasah. They went on until they came to the monastery. There they found a man tightly bound, showing grief and complaining much. They greeted him, and he returned their greeting and said: Who are you? They said: From the Arabs. He said: What have the Arabs done? Has their Prophet come forth yet? They said: Yes. He said: What did they do? They said: Good; they believed in him and affirmed him. He said: That is better for them. He had an enemy and Allah gave him victory over them? He said: Are the Arabs today one in their god, one in their religion, and one in their word? They said: Yes. He said: What has happened to the spring of Zughar? They said: It is fine; its people drink from it for their needs and water their crops from it. He said: What has happened to the palm trees between 'Amman and Baysan? They said: They are fine; they yield fruit every year. He said: What has happened to the Lake of Tiberias? They said: It is full. He said: Then he sighed deeply, then sighed deeply again, then sighed deeply again, then swore: If I were to get out of this place of mine, I would not leave any land of Allah's earth untrodden, except Taybah; I have no power over it. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is where my joy ended—three times—Taybah is Madinah. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has forbidden the Dajjal to enter it. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ swore: By Allah, besides whom there is no god, it has no narrow or wide path, in plain or mountain, but upon it is an angel with a drawn sword until the Day of Resurrection. The Dajjal cannot enter it against its people. [Note: In the edition of the Islamic Treasure Society, it reads "Tamiman"; and in the edition of the Risalah Foundation, it reads "Mustakhbirakum".]

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came one day in haste, ascended the pulpit, and an announcement was made among the people: Prayer in congregation. The people gathered, and he said: O people, I have not called you out of desire or fear, but Tamim al-Dari informed me that a group of people from Palestine went to sea, and the wind cast them onto an island of the sea. There they found a hairy beast, and it was not known whether it was male or female because of the abundance of its hair. They said: Who are you? It said: I am al-Jassasah. They said: Then tell us. It said: I will not tell you, nor will I ask you, but in this monastery there is a man eager to tell you and to ask you. They entered the monastery, and there was a one-eyed man fettered in iron. He said: Who are you? They said: We are Arabs. He said: Has the Prophet been sent among you? They said: Yes. He said: Have the Arabs followed him? They said: Yes. He said: That is better for them. He said: What has Persia done? Has he been given victory over it? They said: No. He said: Indeed, he will be given victory over it. Then he said: What has the spring of Zughar done? They said: It flows abundantly, full. He said: What have the palm trees of Baysan done? Have they produced fruit? They said: Yes, their first fruits. He said: Then he leaped so violently that we thought he would break free. We said: Who are you? He said: I am the Dajjal. Indeed, I will tread the whole earth except Makkah and Taybah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Rejoice, O assembly of Muslims, this is Taybah; he will not enter it.

✧ I entered upon Umm Salamah, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon her, seemingly angry. I hid myself with the sleeve of my garment. He spoke words I did not understand. I said: O Mother of the Believers, it seemed to me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was angry. She said: Yes. Did you not hear him? I said: What did he say? She said: He said: When evil spreads throughout the earth and is not stopped, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, sends down His punishment upon the people of the earth. I said: O Messenger of Allah, even if there are righteous people among them? He said: Yes, even if there are righteous people among them; whatever befalls the people will befall them too, and then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will take them to His forgiveness and mercy—or to His mercy and forgiveness.

She came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, news of my husband's death has come to me while I am in a house of the Ansar, far from my family's homes. He left me in a dwelling he did not own and did not leave me any maintenance to be spent on me, and I have not inherited any wealth from him. If you see fit for me to join my brothers and my family, so that our affairs may be together, that would be dearer to me.' He permitted her to join her family, so I went out pleased with that, until when I was in the room or the mosque, he called me—or ordered me to be called—and said: 'What did you claim?' I repeated it to him, and he said: 'Stay in your husband's dwelling where his death announcement reached you until the prescribed term is fulfilled.' She said: 'So I observed the waiting period there for four months and ten days.'

✧ There was a dispute between Ibn 'Abbas and Zayd b. Thabit concerning a woman who menstruates after performing the tawaf of the House on the Day of Sacrifice. Zayd said: 'She should not depart until her last act is the tawaf of the House.' Ibn 'Abbas said: 'When she has performed tawaf on the Day of Sacrifice and become lawful for her husband, she may depart if she wishes and not wait.' The Ansar said: 'O Ibn 'Abbas, if you contradict Zayd, we will not follow you.' Ibn 'Abbas said: 'Ask Umm Sulaym.' They asked her about that, and she reported that Safiyyah bt. Huyayy b. Akhtab experienced that. 'A'ishah said: 'May you be deprived! You have detained us.' This was mentioned to the Messenger of God ﷺ, and he ordered her to depart. Umm Sulaym also related that she herself experienced that, and the Messenger of God ﷺ ordered her to depart.

✧ I was suffering from a severe, heavy menstrual bleeding. I came to the Messenger of God ﷺ to ask his ruling and inform him. I found him in the house of my sister Zaynab bt. Jaḥsh. She said: I said: O Messenger of God, I have a need to bring to you. He said: What is it? I said: O Messenger of God, I am suffering from heavy, severe menstrual bleeding. What do you think about it? It has prevented me from prayer and fasting. He said: I prescribe for you cotton, for it removes the blood. She said: It is more than that. He said: Then use a cloth. She said: It is more than that. He said: Then use a tight bandage. She said: It gushes profusely. He said to her: I will command you to two matters; whichever of them you do, it will suffice you in place of the other, and if you are able to do both, you know best. He said to her: This is only a strike from the strikes of Satan, so count your menses as six or seven days according to God’s knowledge, then perform ghusl. Then when you see that you have become pure and fully cleansed, pray for twenty-four nights or twenty-three nights and their days, and fast, for that will suffice you. Do likewise each month as women menstruate and become pure, according to the timing of their menstruation and purity. If you are able to delay ẓuhr and hasten ʿaṣr, then perform ghusl and pray ẓuhr and ʿaṣr together; then delay maghrib and hasten ʿishā’, then perform ghusl and combine the two prayers, do that; and perform ghusl with fajr and pray. Do that, and pray and fast if you are able to do so. And the Messenger of God ﷺ said: This is the more preferable of the two matters to me.

لَا يَجْمَعُ اللهُ فِي جَوْفِ رَجُلٍ غُبَارًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَدُخَانَ جَهَنَّمَ. وَمَنِ اغْبَرَّتْ قَدَمَاهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ حَرَّمَ اللهُ سَائِرَ جَسَدِهِ عَلَى النَّارِ، وَمَنْ صَامَ يَوْمًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، بَاعَدَ اللهُ عَنْهُ النَّارَ مَسِيرَةَ أَلْفِ سَنَةٍ لِلرَّاكِبِ الْمُسْتَعْجِلِ. وَمَنْ جُرِحَ جِرَاحَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ خُتِمَ لَهُ بِخَاتَمِ الشُّهَدَاءِ، لَهُ نُورٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، لَوْنُهَا مِثْلُ لَوْنِ الزَّعْفَرَانِ، وَرِيحُهَا مِثْلُ الْمِسْكِ، يَعْرِفُهُ بِهَا الْأَوَّلُونَ وَالْآخِرُونَ، يَقُولُونَ: فُلَانٌ عَلَيْهِ طَابَعُ الشُّهَدَاءِ. وَمَنْ قَاتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فُوَاقَ نَاقَةٍ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ
✧ Allah does not combine in the belly of a man dust in the path of Allah and the smoke of Hell. Whoever's feet become dusty in the path of Allah, Allah forbids the rest of his body from the Fire. Whoever fasts a day in the path of Allah, Allah distances from him the Fire a journey of a thousand years for the swift rider. Whoever is wounded with a wound in the path of Allah is sealed for him with the seal of the martyrs; he has a light on the Day of Resurrection, its color is like the color of saffron, and its scent is like musk. The first and the last will recognize him by it, saying: 'So-and-so has upon him the seal of the martyrs.' Whoever fights in the path of Allah for the interval between two milkings of a she-camel, Paradise becomes obligatory for him.

✧ A man entered the mosque of Damascus and said: 'O Allah, befriend my loneliness, have mercy on my estrangement, and provide me with a beloved, righteous companion.' Abu al-Darda' heard him and said: 'If you are truthful, then I am happier with what you said than you. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Among them is he who wrongs himself" (Fatir 35:32). He said: The wrongdoer is taken to account in that standing of his, and that is the distress and grief. "And among them is one who is moderate." He said: He will be given an easy reckoning. "And among them is one who is foremost in good deeds." He said: Those who enter Paradise without reckoning.'
Musnad Ahmad 27506Sahih

✧ Shall I inform you of something better than the degree of fasting, prayer, and charity? They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Reconciling between people. And the corruption of relations between people is the shaver.'
مَنْ سَمِعَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ حَدِيثًا لَا يَشْتَهِي أَنْ يُذْكَرَ عَنْهُ فَهُوَ أَمَانَةٌ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَكْتِمْهُ

✧ Some people from my tribe told me to ask Saʿīd b. al-Musayyab about a spearhead they sharpen and plant in the ground, so that in the morning a hyena is found killed.

He said: 'O Maʿdān, are you living today in a city or in a village?' He said: 'No, rather in a village close to the city.' He said: 'Wait, woe to you, O Maʿdān! I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: There are no five households among whom the call to prayer is not made and in whose midst prayers are not established, except that Satan gains mastery over them. The wolf takes the stray sheep. So keep to the cities, woe to you, O Maʿdān.'

✧ Abu Darda has some free time, so he asks if he should go out or stay at home. If he is told to go out, he responds that he cannot find anything better for himself than what the Messenger of Allah has commanded us. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, the rich people go for Hajj and we are unable to go, they fight in battles and we are unable to fight." The Messenger of Allah then said, "Shall I not tell you about something that, if you do it, will be better for you than what any of them has done?

✧ He was married to al-Darda'. He came to them and found Umm al-Darda'. She said to him: 'Do you intend to perform Hajj this year?' He said: 'Yes.'

He replied, 'Perhaps one of you may lengthen her hand between her parents and become a spinster, so Allah will provide her with a husband, wealth, and children. Then she will become angry and say, 'I have never seen any good from him.' But there was a time when he was the best for her.'

✧ We were with the Prophet ﷺ in his house when he said: “When it is three years before the emergence of the Dajjal, the sky withholds one third of its rain and the earth withholds one third of its vegetation. When it is the second year, the sky withholds two thirds of its rain and the earth withholds two thirds of its vegetation. When it is the third year, the sky withholds all of its rain and the earth withholds all of its vegetation, and no creature with a hoof or a cloven hoof remains but perishes. Then the Dajjal says to a man from the desert people: ‘What do you think—if I revive your camels with large udders and great humps, will you know that I am your lord?’ He says: ‘Yes.’ So the devils appear to him in the form of his camels, and he follows him. And he says to a man: ‘What do you think—if I revive your father and your son and those of your family whom you know, will you know that I am your lord?’ He says: ‘Yes.’ So the devils appear to him in their forms, and he follows him.” Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out, and the people of the house wept. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned while we were weeping, and he said: “What makes you weep?” I said: “O Messenger of Allah, what you mentioned about the Dajjal. By Allah, the maidservant of my family kneads her dough and it does not finish before my liver nearly falls apart from hunger, so what will we do on that day?” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “On that day, the glorification of Allah (takbir), praise of Allah (tasbih), and praise (tahmid) will suffice the believers instead of food and drink.” Then he said: “Do not weep, for if the Dajjal emerges while I am among you, I will be the one to contend with him on your behalf, and if he emerges after me, then Allah is my successor over every Muslim.”
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ: إِنَّهُ عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ صَالِحٍ، وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقْرَأُ: قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللهِ إِنَّ اللهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا وَلَا يُبَالِي إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
✧ I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite: “Indeed, it is a deed that is not righteous” and I heard him recite: “Say: O My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins, and He does not care. Indeed, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.”
أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ يَقُولُ: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا، مَا يَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَى أَنْ تَتَايَعُوا فِي الْكَذِبِ كَمَا يَتَتَايَعُ الْفَرَاشُ فِي النَّارِ ؟ كُلُّ الْكَذِبِ يُكْتَبُ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ، إِلَّا ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ: رَجُلٌ كَذَبَ امْرَأَتَهُ لِيُرْضِيَهَا، أَوْ رَجُلٌ كَذَبَ فِي خَدِيعَةِ حَرْبٍ، أَوْ رَجُلٌ كَذَبَ بَيْنَ امْرَأَيْنِ مُسْلِمَيْنِ لِيُصْلِحَ بَيْنَهُمَا
✧ She heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivering a sermon, saying: “O you who believe, what carries you to plunge into lying as moths plunge into the fire? All lying is written against the son of Adam, except for three traits: a man who lies to his wife to please her, a man who lies in the deception of war, and a man who lies between two Muslims to reconcile them.”
يَمْكُثُ الدَّجَّالُ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً السَّنَةُ كَالشَّهْرِ، وَالشَّهْرُ كَالْجُمُعَةِ، وَالْجُمُعَةُ كَالْيَوْمِ، وَالْيَوْمُ كَاضْطِرَامِ السَّعَفَةِ فِي النَّارِ.
✧ The Dajjal will remain on the earth for forty years: a year like a month, a month like a week, a week like a day, and a day like the burning of a palm branch in the fire.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gathered the Muslim women for the oath of allegiance, and Asma said to him: “Will you not uncover your hand to us, O Messenger of Allah?” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: “I do not shake hands with women, but I take the pledge from them.” Among the women there was an aunt of hers who had two bracelets of gold and rings of gold, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: “O you, would it please you that Allah adorns you on the Day of Resurrection with two bracelets and rings of the coals of Hell?” She said: “I seek refuge in Allah, O Prophet of Allah.” She said: “I said: ‘O aunt, throw away what is on you.’ So she threw it away.” Asma then told me: “By Allah, my dear child, she threw it away and I do not know who picked it up from its place, and none of us turned to it.” Asma said: “I said: ‘O Prophet of Allah, one of them becomes despised by her husband if she does not season herself for him or adorn herself for him.’ The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: “What prevents one of you from making two earrings of silver and making for herself two beads of silver, then rolling them between her fingers with a little saffron so that it glitters like gold?”

✧ Horses have goodness tied to their forelocks forever until the Day of Resurrection. Whoever keeps them as a provision in the way of Allah and spends on them seeking reward in the way of Allah, then their satiety, hunger, watering, thirst, dung, and urine will be as good deeds in his scales on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever keeps them for show, reputation, joy, and pride, then their satiety, hunger, watering, thirst, dung, and urine will be as loss in his scales on the Day of Resurrection.

And the severest of his tribulations is that he will come to a Bedouin and say, "Do you see that if I revive your camels for you, will you not know that I am your lord?" He will say, "Yes." Then the devils will appear to him in the form of his camels, with the finest udders and largest humps. He said: And he will come to a man whose brother has died and whose father has died, and say, "Do you see that if I bring your father back to life and bring your brother back to life, will you not know that I am your lord?" He will say, "Yes." Then the devils will appear to him in the form of his father and his brother.' She said: Then the Messenger of God ﷺ went out for a need of his, then returned. She said: The people were in distress and grief at what he had told them. She said: He took hold of the two doorposts and said, 'What is the matter, Asma?' She said: I said, 'O Messenger of God, you have wrenched our hearts with the mention of the Dajjal.' He said, 'If he emerges while I am alive, I will be his adversary; otherwise, my Lord is my vicegerent over every believer.' Asma said, 'O Messenger of God, by God, we knead our dough and do not bake it until we are hungry, so how will it be for the believers on that day?' He said, 'They will be sufficed as the people of heaven are sufficed with glorification and sanctification.'

I said, 'Yes, by God, O Messenger of God, they do say such things and they do such things.' He said, 'Do not do so, for the likeness of that is the likeness of a male devil who met a female devil on the road and had intercourse with her while the people looked on.'

The Messenger of God ﷺ said to him, 'Do I not see you sleeping?' Abu Dharr said, 'O Messenger of God, where should I sleep? Do I have any house other than it?' The Messenger of God ﷺ sat down beside him and said to him, 'How will it be for you when they expel you from it?' He said, 'Then I will join Syria, for Syria is the land of emigration, the land of the gathering, and the land of the prophets, and I will be a man of its people.' He said to him, 'How will it be for you when they expel you from Syria?' He said, 'Then I will return to it, and it will be my house and my dwelling.' He said, 'How will it be for you when they expel you from it a second time?' He said, 'Then I will take my sword and fight for myself until I die.' He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ smiled at him and held him firmly with his hand, and said, 'Shall I guide you to something better than that?' He said, 'Yes, may my father and mother be your ransom, O Prophet of God.' The Messenger of God ﷺ said, 'Submit to them wherever they lead you, and go along with them wherever they drive you, until you meet me while you are upon that.'

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ passed through the mosque one day while a group of women were sitting, and he gestured to them with his hand in greeting, saying, 'Beware of ingratitude to those who have been kind to you, beware of ingratitude to those who have been kind to you!' One of them said, 'O Messenger of God, I seek refuge in God, O Prophet of God, from ingratitude for God's blessings.' He said, 'Yes. One of you remains unmarried for a long time and remains a spinster for a long time, then God provides her with a husband and grants her a child and comfort of the eye, then she becomes angry once and swears by God that she has never seen any good from him at all. That is ingratitude for the blessings of God, Mighty and Majestic, and that is ingratitude to those who have been kind.'

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us during one of the evening prayers – Zuhr or Asr – carrying Hasan or Husayn. The Prophet ﷺ came forward and put him down, then he said the takbir for the prayer and prayed. During his prayer, he made a prostration and prolonged it. My father said: I raised my head, and there was the child on the back of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was prostrating. So I returned to my prostration. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished the prayer, the people said: "O Messenger of Allah, you prostrated during the prayer a prostration that you prolonged until we thought that something had happened or that revelation was coming to you." He said: "None of that happened, but my son had climbed on me, and I disliked to hurry him until he finished his need."
