   خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَهُوَ مُرْدِفِي فِي يَوْمٍ حَارٍّ مِنْ أَيَّامِ مَكَّةَ، وَمَعَنَا شَاةٌ قَدْ ذَبَحْنَاهَا وَأَصْلَحْنَاهَا، فَجَعَلْنَاهَا فِي سُفْرَةٍ، فَلَقِيَهُ زَيْدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ، فَحَيَّا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ بِتَحِيَّةِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: " يَا زَيْدُ، يَعْنِي زَيْدَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، مَالِي أَرَى قَوْمَكَ قَدْ شَنِفُوا لَكَ " قَالَ: وَاللهِ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لِغَيْرِ تِرَةٍ لِي فِيهِمْ، وَلَكِنْ خَرَجْتُ أَطْلُبُ هَذَا الدِّينَ حَتَّى أَقْدَمَ عَلَى أَحْبَارِ خَيْبَرَ فَوَجَدْتُهُمْ يَعْبُدُونَ اللهَ، وَيُشْرِكُونَ بِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا هَذَا بِالدِّينِ الَّذِي أَبْتَغِي، فَخَرَجْتُ حَتَّى أَقْدَمَ عَلَى أَحْبَارِ الشَّامِ، فَوَجَدْتُهُمْ يَعْبُدُونَ اللهَ وَيُشْرِكُونَ بِهِ، فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا بِالدِّينِ الَّذِي أَبْتَغِي، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ: إِنَّكَ لَتَسْأَلُ عَنْ دِينٍ مَا نَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا يَعْبُدُ اللهَ بِهِ إِلَّا شَيْخٌ بِالْجَزِيرَةِ، فَخَرَجْتُ حَتَّى أَقْدَمَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَالَ: إِنَّ جَمِيعَ مَنْ رَأَيْتَ فِي ضَلَالٍ، فَمِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ ؟ قُلْتُ: أَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ اللهِ، مِنْ أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ وَالْقَرَظِ قَالَ: إِنَّ الَّذِي تَطْلُبُ قَدْ ظَهَرَ بِبَلَدِكَ، قَدْ بُعِثَ نَبِيٌّ قَدْ طَلَعَ نَجْمُهُ، فَلَمْ أُحِسَّ بِشَيْءٍ بَعْدُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ. قَالَ: فَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْهِ السُّفْرَةَ، فَقَالَ: مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: شَاةٌ ذَبَحْنَاهَا لِنُصُبٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَنْصَابِ قَالَ: مَا كُنْتُ لِآكُلَ شَيْئًا ذُبِحَ لِغَيْرِ اللهِ وَتَفَرَّقَا. قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ: فَأَتَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْبَيْتَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ، فَطَافَ بِهِ وَكَانَ عِنْدَ الْبَيْتِ صَنَمَانِ، أَحَدُهُمَا مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، يُقَالُ لِأَحَدِهِمَا: يَسَافٌ، وَلِلْآخَرِ نَائِلَةُ، وَكَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ إِذَا طَافُوا تَمَسَّحُوا بِهِمَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: لَا تَمْسَحْهُمَا فَإِنَّهُمَا رِجْسٌ قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي لَأَمْسَحَنَّهُمَا حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ مَا يَقُولُ: فَمَسَحْتُهُمَا، فَقَالَ: يَا زَيْدُ أَلَمْ تُنْهَهُ ؟ قَالَ: وَأُنْزِلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: وَمَاتَ زَيْدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: يُبْعَثُ أُمَّةً وَحْدَهُ

   ✧ I went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he had me riding behind him on a hot day from the days of Makkah. With us was a sheep that we had slaughtered and prepared, and we put it in a traveling bag. Zayd b. ʿAmr b. Nufayl met him, and each of them greeted the other with the greeting of the Jahiliyyah. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Zayd—meaning Zayd b. ʿAmr—why do I see your people have turned against you?" He said, "By Allah, O Muhammad, that is not because of any fault of mine toward them. But I went out seeking this religion until I came to the Jewish scholars of Khaybar, and I found them worshipping Allah yet associating partners with Him. I said, 'This is not the religion I seek.' Then I went on until I came to the scholars of Syria, and I found them worshipping Allah yet associating partners with Him. I said, 'This is not the religion I seek.' One of their men said, 'You are asking about a religion of which we know no one worshipping Allah by it except an old man in the Jazirah.' So I went out until I came to him. When he saw me, he said, 'Indeed, all those you have seen are in error. From where are you?' I said, 'I am from the people of the House of Allah, from the people of shirk and qaraz.' He said, 'Indeed, the one you seek has appeared in your land. A Prophet has been sent, whose star has risen.' And I have not perceived anything after that, O Muhammad." He said: Then he brought the traveling bag near to him, and he said, "What is this?" He said, "A sheep we slaughtered for one of these stone idols." He said, "I would never eat anything slaughtered for other than Allah." And they parted. Zayd b. Harithah said: The Prophet ﷺ came to the House with me, and he circumambulated it. At the House there were two idols, one of them of copper, one called Yasaf and the other Naʾilah. The polytheists, when they circumambulated, would wipe themselves on them. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not wipe them, for they are filth." He said: I said to myself, 'I will certainly wipe them so that I may see what he says.' So I wiped them, and he said, "O Zayd, were you not forbidden?" He said: And revelation came down upon the Prophet ﷺ. He said: And Zayd b. ʿAmr died, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "He will be resurrected as a nation alone."

   " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي أَوَّلِ مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِ أَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ، فَعَلَّمَهُ الْوُضُوءَ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ أَخَذَ غَرْفَةً مِنْ مَاءٍ فَنَضَحَ بِهَا فَرْجَهُ

   قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ: " انْطَلِقْ " فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَأَصْحَابُهُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلُوا بَيْنَ حَائِطَيْنِ فِي زُقَاقٍ طَوِيلٍ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَوْا إِلَى الدَّارِ إِذَا امْرَأَةٌ قَاعِدَةٌ، وَإِذَا قِرْبَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ مَلْأَى مَاءً، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: أَرَى قِرْبَةً وَلَا أَرَى حَامِلَهَا فَأَشَارَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى قَطِيفَةٍ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الدَّارِ، فَقَامُوا إِلَى الْقَطِيفَةِ، فَكَشَفُوهَا فَإِذَا تَحْتَهَا إِنْسَانٌ، فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: " شَاهَ الْوَجْهُ "، فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، لِمَ تَفْحَشُ عَلَيَّ ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: " إِنِّي قَدْ خَبَأْتُ لَكَ خَبْئًا، فَأَخْبِرْنِي مَا هُوَ "، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَدْ خَبَأَ لَهُ سُورَةَ الدُّخَانِ، فَقَالَ: " الدُّخُّ "، فَقَالَ: اخْسَهْ، مَا شَاءَ اللهُ كَانَ "، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ

   ✧ The Prophet ﷺ said to one of his companions, "Go." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went, and his companions were with him, until they entered between two walls in a long alley. When they reached the house, there was a woman sitting, and there was a large water-skin full of water. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I see a water-skin but I do not see its carrier." The woman pointed to a velvet cloth in a corner of the house. They went to the velvet cloth and uncovered it, and beneath it was a human being. He raised his head, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "Ugly is the face." He said, "O Muhammad, why do you use obscene language against me?" The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "I have hidden something for you. Tell me what it is." The Prophet ﷺ had hidden for him Surah al-Dukhan. He said, "Al-dukhkh." He said, "Be off with you! What Allah willed has happened." Then he left.
