They spoke to him, saying: "Your mother has vowed not to touch her head with a comb until she sees you." He felt compassion for her. I said to him: "O 'Ayyash, by Allah, the people only want to turn you away from your religion, so beware of them. By Allah, if lice harmed your mother, she would comb her hair, and if the heat of Makkah became intense for her—I think he said—she would seek shade." He said: "I have wealth there, so I will take it." I said: "By Allah, you know that I am among the wealthiest of Quraysh, so you may have half of my wealth, and do not go with them." He said: He refused me except to go out with them. When he refused me, I said to him: "Since you have done what you have done, take this camel of mine, for it is a docile camel; stay on its back, and if you suspect any treachery from the people, escape on it." He went out with them on it until they were partway along the road. Abu Jahl b. Hisham said: "By Allah, I have found my camel slow; will you not carry me on this camel of yours?" He said: "Yes." So he made his camel kneel, and they made theirs kneel, so that he might move onto it. When they were all on the ground, they attacked him and bound him, then brought him into Makkah and tempted him, and he was tempted. We used to say: "By Allah, Allah will not accept from anyone who is tempted any ransom or justice, and the repentance of a people who knew Allah and then returned to disbelief because of a trial that befell them will not be accepted." They used to say that about themselves. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madinah, Allah revealed about them, about our words to them, and their words about themselves: "Say: O My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins" up to His saying: "while you do not perceive." 'Umar said: I wrote it on a sheet and sent it to Hisham b. al-'Asi. Hisham said: I kept reading it at Dhu Tuwa, ascending with it until I understood it. He said: It was cast into my mind that it was revealed only about us and about what we used to say about ourselves, and it is said about us. So I returned, mounted my camel, and joined the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Madinah.

I said to my father: "Who is the man?" He said: "Al-'As b. Wa'il al-Sahmi."

When the Messenger of God ﷺ stood to pray over him, I stood facing him and said, “O Messenger of God, will you pray over the enemy of God, who on such-and-such a day said such-and-such, and on such-and-such a day said such-and-such?” enumerating his odious days. When I persisted, the Messenger of God ﷺ said, “Leave me, ʿUmar, for I have been given the choice: ‘Ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them; if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times, God will never forgive them.’ If I knew that by adding to the seventy times they would be forgiven, I would have done so.” He said: Then the Messenger of God ﷺ prayed, then stood at his grave. He said: I marveled at my boldness toward the Messenger of God ﷺ, and it was not long until the verse came down: “And do not ever pray over any of them who dies, and do not stand at his grave.” He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ never prayed over any of them, nor did he stand at his grave.

كُنْتُ أُقْرِئُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ فِي آخِرِ خِلَافَةِ عُمَرَ آخِرَ حَجَّةٍ حَجَّهَا وَنَحْنُ بِمِنًى أَتَانَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ فَقَالَ: لَوْ شَهِدْتَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْيَوْمَ وَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ فُلَانًا يَقُولُ: لَوْ مَاتَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَبَايَعْنَا فُلَانًا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: لَأَقُومَنَّ الْعَشِيَّةَ فِي النَّاسِ فَلَأُحَذِّرَنَّهُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّهْطَ الَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَغْتَصِبُوا النَّاسَ أُمُورَهُمْ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ الْمَوْسِمَ يَجْمَعُ رَعَاعَ النَّاسِ وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ يَغْلِبُونَ عَلَى مَجْلِسِكَ فَلَوْ أَخَّرْتَ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى تَقْدَمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَتَقُولَ مَا تَقُولُ وَأَنْتَ مُتَمَكِّنٌ فَيَعُونَهَا عَنْكَ وَيَضَعُونَهَا مَوْضِعَهَا، قَالَ: فَقَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ وَجَاءَتِ الْجُمُعَةُ وَذَكَرْتُ مَا حَدَّثَنِي بِهِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ فَهَجَّرْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَوَجَدْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ قَدْ سَبَقَنِي بِالتَّهْجِيرِ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ تَمَسُّ رُكْبَتِي رُكْبَتَهُ فَلَمَّا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَدَخَلَ عُمَرُ، قُلْتُ لِسَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ: لَيَقُولَنَّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْيَوْمَ مَقَالَةً لَمْ تُقَلْ قَبْلَهُ، فَغَضِبَ سَعِيدٌ وَقَالَ: وَأَيُّ مَقَالَةٍ يَقُولُهَا لَمْ تُقَلْ قَبْلَهُ ؟ فَلَمَّا صَعِدَ عُمَرُ الْمِنْبَرَ أَخَذَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ فِي أَذَانِهِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَامَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَصَلَّى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَقُولَ مَقَالَةً قَدْ قُدِّرَ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَهَا وَلَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَجَلِي، فَمَنْ حَفِظَهَا وَوَعَاهَا فَلْيَتَحَدَّثْ بِهَا حَيْثُ انْتَهَتْ بِهِ رَاحِلَتُهُ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَحْفَظْهَا وَلَمْ يَعِهَا فَإِنِّي لَا أُحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَكْذِبَ عَلَيَّ، إِنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابَ وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَةَ الرَّجْمِ أَلَا وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ رَجَمَ وَرَجَمْنَا بَعْدَهُ، أَلَا وَإِنِّي قَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَطُولَ بِالنَّاسِ الزَّمَانُ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَا نَعْرِفُ آيَةَ الرَّجْمِ فَيَضِلُّونَ بِتَرْكِ فَرِيضَةٍ أَنْزَلَهَا اللهُ -

قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: هُمَا عُوَيْمُ بْنُ سَاعِدَةَ وَمَعْنُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ - فَقَالَا: أَيْنَ تُرِيدُونَ يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ ؟ فَقُلْنَا: نُرِيدُ إِخْوَانَنَا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَقَالَ: أَمْهِلُوا حَتَّى تَقْضُوا أَمْرَكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ فَقُلْنَا: لَنَأْتِيَنَّهُمْ، فَأَتَيْنَاهُمْ وَإِذَا هُمْ مُجْتَمِعُونَ فِي سَقِيفَةِ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ، وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مُزَمَّلٌ فَقُلْتُ: مَنْ هَذَا ؟ قَالُوا: هَذَا سَعْدٌ، قُلْتُ: وَمَا شَأْنُهُ ؟ قَالُوا: وُعِكَ، وَقَامَ خَطِيبًا لِلْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ قَدْ دَفَّ إِلَيْنَا مِنْكُمْ دَافَّةٌ يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ وَأَنْتُمْ إِخْوَانُنَا وَنَحْنُ كَتِيبَةُ الْإِسْلَامِ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَخْتَزِلُونَا وَتَخْتَصِمُونَ بِالْأَمْرِ أَوْ تَسْتَأْثِرُونَ بِالْأَمْرِ دُونَنَا، وَقَدْ كُنْتُ رَوَّيْتُ مَقَالَةً أَقُولُهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ كَلَامِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، فَلَمَّا ذَهَبْتُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ بِهَا قَالَ لِي: عَلَى رِسْلِكَ فَوَاللهِ مَا تَرَكَ شَيْئًا مِمَّا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ إِلَّا جَاءَ بِهِ وَبِأَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ مَهْمَا قُلْتُمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فِيكُمْ فَأَنْتُمْ لَهُ أَهْلٌ وَلَكِنَّ الْعَرَبَ لَا تَعْرِفُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ إِلَّا لِهَذَا الْحَيِّ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، وَقَدْ رَضِيتُ لَكُمْ أَحَدَ هَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ فَبَايِعُوا أَيَّهُمَا شِئْتُمْ، وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي وَبِيَدِ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ فَكُنْتُ لَأَنْ أُقَدَّمَ فَتُضْرَبَ عُنُقِي لَا يُقَرِّبُنِي ذَلِكَ مِنْ إِثْمٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَتَأَمَّرَ، أَوْ أَتَوَلَّى عَلَى قَوْمٍ فِيهِمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَقَامَ حُبَابُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ فَقَالَ: أَنَا جُذَيْلُهَا الْمُحَكَّكُ، وَعُذَيْقُهَا الْمُرَجَّبُ، مِنَّا أَمِيرٌ وَمِنْكُمْ أَمِيرٌ وَإِلَّا أَعَدْنَا الْحَرْبَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ جَذَعَةً، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّهُ لَا يَصْلُحُ سَيْفَانِ فِي غِمْدٍ وَاحِدٍ وَلَكِنْ مِنَّا الْأُمَرَاءُ وَمِنْكُمُ الْوُزَرَاءُ، ابْسُطْ يَدَكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أُبَايِعْكَ، فَبَسَطَ يَدَهُ فَبَايَعْتُهُ وَبَايَعَهُ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالْأَنْصَارُ وَارْتَفَعَتِ الْأَصْوَاتُ وَكَثُرَ اللَّغَطُ وَنَزَوْا عَلَى سَعْدٍ فَقَالُوا: قَتَلْتُمْ سَعْدًا، فَقُلْتُ: قَتَلَ اللهُ سَعْدًا فَمَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ بَيْعَةَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ كَانَتْ فَلْتَةً فَقَدْ كَانَتْ فَلْتَةً، وَلَكِنْ وَقَى اللهُ شَرَّهَا، فَمَنْ كَانَ فِيكُمْ تُمَدُّ الْأَعْنَاقُ إِلَيْهِ مِثْلَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ إِلَّا مَنْ بَايَعَ رَجُلًا مِنْ غَيْرِ مَشُورَةٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُبَايَعُ لَا هُوَ وَلَا مَنْ بُويِعَ لَهُ تَغِرَّةَ أَنْ يُقْتَلَ
✧ I was teaching the Qur'an to 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf during the last caliphate of 'Umar, in his final Hajj, while we were at Mina. 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf came to us and said: "If only you had witnessed the Commander of the Faithful today: a man came to him and said, 'I heard so-and-so saying, "If the Commander of the Faithful were to die, we would pledge allegiance to so-and-so."' 'Umar said, 'I will stand before the people this evening and warn them against these groups who seek to snatch away the people's affairs.' I said, 'O Commander of the Faithful, the season gathers the rabble of the people, and it is they who will dominate your gathering. If you were to postpone this until you reach Madinah, then say what you wish with full authority, and they will understand it from you and put it in its proper place.'" He said: So we arrived in Madinah, and Friday came, and I remembered what 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf had told me, so I went early to the mosque. I found Sa'id b. Zayd b. 'Amr b. Nufayl had preceded me in arriving early, so I sat beside him, my knee touching his knee. When the sun declined and 'Umar entered, I said to Sa'id b. Zayd, "The Commander of the Faithful will surely say today a statement that has not been said before him." Sa'id became angry and said, "What statement could he say that has not been said before him?" When 'Umar ascended the pulpit, the mu'adhdhin began his call to prayer. When he finished, 'Umar stood, praised and extolled Allah, and invoked blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ, then said: "Now to the matter at hand. I intend to say a statement that has been decreed for me to say, and I do not know - perhaps it is before my appointed end. Whoever memorizes it and comprehends it, let him narrate it wherever his mount reaches him. And whoever does not memorize it or comprehend it, I do not permit anyone to lie about me. Allah, Blessed and Exalted, sent Muhammad and revealed to him the Book, and revealed to him the verse of stoning. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stoned and we stoned after him. Indeed, I fear that time may pass over the people until they say, 'We do not know the verse of stoning,' and thus they go astray by abandoning an obligation that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, revealed. Indeed, stoning is true for one who commits fornication and is married, with evidence established, or pregnancy or confession. Indeed, we used to recite: Do not desire to be other than your fathers, for it is disbelief on your part to desire to be other than your fathers. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do not praise me excessively as the Christians praised Jesus, son of Mary, for I am only His servant; but say: His servant and His messenger. Indeed, part of our story: when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, 'Ali, al-'Abbas, and those with them stayed behind in the house of Fatimah, while the Muhajirun gathered to Abu Bakr and the Ansar gathered in the Saqifah of Banu Sa'idah. I said to Abu Bakr, 'Come with us to our brothers of the Ansar.' So we went out and met two righteous men from them. - Al-Zuhri said: They were 'Uwaym b. Sa'idah and Ma'n b. 'Adi. - They said, 'Where are you heading, O group of Quraysh?' We said, 'We want our brothers of the Ansar.' They said, 'Take your time until you settle your matter among yourselves.' We said, 'We will still go to them.' We came to them and found them gathered in the Saqifah of Banu Sa'idah, and there was a man wrapped in a cloak. I said, 'Who is this?' They said, 'This is Sa'd.' I said, 'What is wrong with him?' They said, 'He is ill.' A speaker from the Ansar stood up and said: 'Indeed, a company of you has come to us, O group of Quraysh, and you are our brothers, and we are the battalion of Islam. You want to exclude us or monopolize the matter without us.' I had composed a speech I intended to give before Abu Bakr spoke, but when I was about to speak, he said to me, 'Be patient.' By Allah, he did not leave anything I intended to say except that he said it, and better. He said: 'O group of Ansar, whatever good you say about yourselves, you are worthy of it, but the Arabs will not recognize this matter except for this clan of Quraysh. I am satisfied for you with one of these two men, so pledge allegiance to whichever of them you wish.' He took hold of my hand and the hand of Abu 'Ubaydah b. al-Jarrah. I would prefer to be brought forward and have my neck struck, with no sin on my part, than to be commander over a people among whom is Abu Bakr. Then Hubab b. al-Mundhir stood and said: 'I am its seasoned little palm tree of the tribe, its fruitful little date palm. From us a leader and from you a leader, otherwise we will renew the war between us and you like a new war.' I said: 'Two swords cannot fit in one scabbard; rather, from us the commanders, and from you the ministers. Stretch out your hand, O Abu Bakr, that I may pledge allegiance to you.' He stretched out his hand and I pledged allegiance to him, and the Muhajirun and Ansar pledged allegiance to him. Voices rose and clamor increased, and they trampled upon Sa'd. They said, 'You have killed Sa'd.' I said, 'May Allah kill Sa'd.' Whoever claims that the pledge to Abu Bakr was a hasty undertaking, it was indeed a hasty undertaking, but Allah averted its evil. Indeed, there is not among you one to whom necks are extended like Abu Bakr ؓ. Whoever pledges allegiance to a man without consultation of the Muslims, then neither he nor the one to whom allegiance was pledged is to be obeyed, for fear of being killed.

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ withdrew from his wives, I entered the mosque and found the people tapping with pebbles and saying: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has divorced his wives." That was before the command of hijab. He said: I entered upon 'A'ishah and said, "O daughter of Abu Bakr, has your affair reached the point of harming the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" She said, "What have I to do with you, O son of al-Khattab? Attend to your own concerns." I entered upon Hafsah, daughter of 'Umar, and said, "O Hafsah, has your affair reached the point of harming Allah and His Messenger? You know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ does not love you, and were it not for me, he would have divorced you." He said: She wept intensely. I said, "Where is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said: He is in his storeroom, in the upper room. I found the servant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Rabah, sitting on the threshold of the upper room, dangling his legs over a carved wooden trunk which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to climb. I called out, "O Rabah, ask permission for me to see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He looked at the room, then looked at me, and said nothing. I said, "O Rabah, ask permission for me to see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, for I think he supposes I came for Hafsah's sake. By Allah, if he ordered me to strike her neck, I would strike her neck." He gestured to me, and I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as he was lying on a mat. I sat down, and he had only a waist wrapper on him, nothing else. The mat had left marks on his body. I cast my gaze around the storeroom of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I saw a small amount of barley, about a sa', and some leaves of the sant tree in a corner of the room. My eyes filled with tears. He said, "What makes you weep, O son of al-Khattab?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, why should I not weep when this mat has left marks on your body, and this is your storeroom with nothing in it but what I see, while Caesar and Chosroes live amidst fruits and rivers? You are the Messenger of Allah and His chosen one, and this is your storeroom." He said, "Are you not pleased that they have this world and we have the Hereafter?" I said, "Yes." I had entered upon him while I could see anger in his face. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what hardship has come to you from the matter of the women? If you have divorced them, Allah is with you, and His angels, and Jibril, and Mika'il, and I, and Abu Bakr." Rarely did I speak words - and I praise Allah - except that I hoped Allah would confirm my saying. Then this verse was revealed: "Perhaps his Lord, if he divorces you, will give him in exchange wives better than you" (Qur'an 66:5). And it was revealed: "If you two support one another against him, then indeed Allah is his protector, and Jibril..." (Qur'an 66:4) to the end of the verse. The daughter of Abu Bakr and Hafsah used to support one another against the rest of the wives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, did you divorce them?" He said, "No." I said, "Should I go down and inform them that you have not divorced them?" He said, "Yes, if you wish." I kept talking to him until the anger left his face, and he smiled with his teeth showing, and he had the most beautiful mouth of all people. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ descended, and I descended, clinging to the wooden trunk. He descended as if walking on the ground without touching it with his hand. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, you were in the upper room for twenty-nine days?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the month may be twenty-nine." I stood at the door of the mosque and called out at the top of my voice: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has not divorced his wives." And the verse was revealed: "When news of safety or fear comes to them, they spread it; but if they had referred it to the Messenger and to those in authority among them, those who can draw conclusions would have known it" (Qur'an 4:83). He said: I was the one who drew that conclusion from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ بَدْرٍ نَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَهُمْ أَلْفٌ، وَإِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ وَهُمْ ثَلَاثُ مِائَةٍ وَسَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا فَاسْتَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْقِبْلَةَ ثُمَّ مَدَّ يَدَيْهِ فَجَعَلَ يَهْتِفُ بِرَبِّهِ يَقُولُ: " [ أَنْجِزْ لِي ] مَا وَعَدْتَنِي، اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ تُهْلِكْ هَذِهِ الْعِصَابَةَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ لَا تُعْبَدُ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَبَدًا، قَالَ: فَمَا زَالَ يَهْتِفُ بِرَبِّهِ مَادًّا يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى سَقَطَ رِدَاؤُهُ عَنْ مَنْكِبَيْهِ، فَأَتَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَخَذَ رِدَاءَهُ فَأَلْقَاهُ عَلَى مَنْكِبَيْهِ، ثُمَّ الْتَزَمَهُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ كَفَاكَ مُنَاشَدَتُكَ رَبَّكَ فَإِنَّهُ سَيُنْجِزُ لَكَ مَا وَعَدَكَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ -: إِذْ تَسْتَغِيثُونَ رَبَّكُمْ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ أَنِّي مُمِدُّكُمْ بِأَلْفٍ مِنَ الْمَلائِكَةِ مُرْدِفِينَ قَالَ: وَأَمَدَّهُ اللهُ بِالْمَلَائِكَةِ. قَالَ أَبُو زُمَيْلٍ: [ فَحَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ ]: بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَشْتَدُّ فِي إِثْرِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِذْ سَمِعَ ضَرْبَةً بِالسَّوْطِ فَوْقَهُ، وَصَوْتُ الْفَارِسِ يَقُولُ: قَادِمٌ حَيْزُومُ إِذْ نَظَرَ الْمُشْرِكُ أَمَامَهُ فَخَرَّ مُسْتَلْقِيًا يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ قَدْ خُطِمَ عَلَى شِقِّ وَجْهِهِ كَضَرْبَةِ السَّوْطِ، فَجَاءَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ: " صَدَقْتَ، ذَاكَ مَدَدُ السَّمَاءِ الثَّالِثَةِ ". فَقَتَلُوا يَوْمَئِذٍ سَبْعِينَ وَأَسَرُوا سَبْعِينَ. قَالَ أَبُو زُمَيْلٍ: قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: لَمَّا أَسَرُوا الْأُسَارَى قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَيَا عُمَرُ مَا تَرَوْنَ فِي هَؤُلَاءِ الْأُسَارَى ؟ " قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: هُمْ بَنُو الْعَمِّ وَالْعَشِيرَةِ، نَرَى أَنْ تَأْخُذَ أَوْ نَأْخُذَ مِنْهُمْ فِدْيَةً فَيَكُونَ لَنَا قُوَّةٌ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " يَا عُمَرُ مَا تَرَى ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: لَا وَاللهِ مَا أَرَى الَّذِي قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَرَى أَنْ تُمَكِّنَّا مِنْهُمْ فَنَضْرِبَ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ وَتُمَكِّنَ عَلِيًّا مِنْ عَقِيلٍ فَيَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ وَتُمَكِّنِّي مِنْ فُلَانٍ نَسِيبًا لِعُمَرَ فَأَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ، فَإِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَئِمَّةُ الْكُفْرِ وَصَنَادِيدُهُمْ، قَالَ: فَهَوَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَلَمْ يَهْوَ مَا قُلْتُ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ جِئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ قَاعِدَانِ يَبْكِيَانِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ
✧ On the day of Badr, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at the polytheists, who were a thousand, and at his companions, who were three hundred and seventeen men. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ faced the qiblah, then stretched out his hands and began calling upon his Lord, saying: "Fulfill for me what You promised me. O Allah, if You destroy this band of the people of Islam, You will never be worshiped on earth." He said: He kept calling upon his Lord with his hands outstretched until his cloak fell from his shoulders. Abu Bakr came to him, took his cloak, and placed it back on his shoulders. Then he embraced him from behind and said, "O Prophet of Allah, enough of your urgent plea to your Lord, for He will surely fulfill what He promised you." Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, revealed: "When you sought help of your Lord, He answered you: 'Indeed, I will reinforce you with a thousand of the angels, one following another'" (Qur'an 8:9). He said: And Allah reinforced him with the angels. Abu Zumayl said: Ibn 'Abbas narrated to me: While a man on that day was running in pursuit of a man from the polytheists, he heard a strike of a whip above him and the voice of a horseman saying, "Advance, Hayzum!" He looked at the polytheist ahead of him, who fell on his back, gazing up at him, and saw that he had been slashed on the side of his face like a whip mark. The Ansari went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him, and he said, "You spoke the truth; that was reinforcement from the third heaven." On that day they killed seventy and took seventy captives. Abu Zumayl said: Ibn 'Abbas said: When they took the captives, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Abu Bakr, O 'Umar, what do you think about these captives?" Abu Bakr said, "They are our cousins and kinsmen. I think you should take, or we should take, ransom from them, so that it may be strength for us against the disbelievers." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O 'Umar, what do you think?" I said, "No, by Allah, I do not agree with Abu Bakr. O Prophet of Allah, I think you should let us strike their necks, and let 'Ali be given 'Aqil so that he may strike his neck, and give me so-and-so, a relative of 'Umar, so that I may strike his neck. For these are the leaders of disbelief and its champions." He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ inclined to what Abu Bakr said and did not incline to what I said. The next day, I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and found him and Abu Bakr sitting and weeping. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what makes you and your companion weep? If it is something I should weep over, I will weep with you; and if not, I will pretend to weep because of your weeping." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I weep because of what your companions proposed to me about taking ransom. The punishment for their proposal has been shown to me, closer than this tree" - a tree near the Prophet of Allah ﷺ. Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, revealed: "It is not for a prophet to have captives until he has made slaughter in the land. You desire the goods of this world, but Allah desires the Hereafter. And Allah is Mighty and Wise" (Qur'an 8:67).

كَتَبَ حَاطِبُ بْنُ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ كِتَابًا إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَأَطْلَعَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ نَبِيَّهُ، فَبَعَثَ عَلِيًّا وَالزُّبَيْرَ فِي أَثَرِ الْكِتَابِ فَأَدْرَكَا امْرَأَةً عَلَى بَعِيرٍ فَاسْتَخْرَجَا مِنْ قَرْنٍ مِنْ قُرُونِهَا، مَا قَالَ لَهُمْ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى حَاطِبٍ فَقَالَ: " يَا حَاطِبُ أَنْتَ كَتَبْتَ هَذَا الْكِتَابَ ؟ " قَالَ: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: " مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ؟ " قَالَ: أَمَا وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَنَاصِحٌ لِلهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَلَكِنْ كُنْتُ غَرِيبًا فِي أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَكَانَ أَهْلِي بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْهِمْ فَخِفْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَكَتَبْتُ كِتَابًا لَا يَضُرُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ شَيْئًا، وَعَسَى أَنْ تَكُونَ فِيهِ مَنْفَعَةٌ لِأَهْلِي، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: فَاخْتَرَطْتُ سَيْفِي فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمْكِنِّي مِنْ حَاطِبٍ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ كَفَرَ فَأَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ اللهَ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْعِصَابَةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ، فَقَالَ: اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ فَقَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكُمْ
✧ Hatib b. Abi Balta'ah wrote a letter to the people of Makkah, and Allah informed His Prophet of it. He sent 'Ali and al-Zubayr in pursuit of the letter, and they caught up with a woman on a camel, and extracted the letter from a braid among her braids, as the Prophet of Allah ﷺ had told them. He sent for Hatib and said, "O Hatib, did you write this letter?" He said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "What prompted you to do that?" He said, "By Allah, I am indeed sincere to Allah and His Messenger, but I was a stranger among the people of Makkah, and my family was among them, so I feared for them, and I wrote a letter that will not harm Allah and His Messenger at all, and perhaps there may be some benefit in it for my family." 'Umar said: I drew my sword and said, "O Messenger of Allah, let me deal with Hatib, for he has disbelieved, and I will strike his neck." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O son of al-Khattab, what do you know? Perhaps Allah looked upon this band of the people of Badr and said, 'Do what you wish, for I have forgiven you.'"

✧ On the day of Khaybar, a number of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ were killed. People said, "So-and-so is a martyr, and so-and-so is a martyr," until they passed by a man and said, "So-and-so is a martyr." The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, indeed I saw him in the Fire because of a cloak or a garment he had stolen from the spoils." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O son of al-Khattab, go and announce among the people: 'None will enter Paradise except the believers.'" So I announced among the people.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a treaty with the people of Makkah. If it had been applied to anyone else or judged upon what I heard, that would have been remarkable.

I am holding you back by your waist wrappers, and I will precede you to the Pond.

Then you will be taken to the left, and I will say, 'To me, O Lord, my community, my community!' It will be said, or He will say, 'O Muhammad, you do not know what they innovated after you; they went back on their heels after you.' So let me not see one of you coming on the Day of Resurrection carrying a bleating sheep, calling out, 'O Muhammad!' and I will say, 'I cannot avail you anything; I have conveyed the message.' And let me not see one of you coming on the Day of Resurrection carrying a bellowing camel, calling out, 'O Muhammad!' and I will say, 'I cannot avail you anything from Allah; I have conveyed the message.'

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ يَوْمًا عِنْدَ الظَّهِيرَةِ فَوَجَدَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ جَالِسًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَا أَخْرَجَكَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ ؟ " قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَا أَخْرَجَكَ ؟ قَالَ: " أَخْرَجَنِي الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ عُمَرَ ؓ جَاءَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ مَا أَخْرَجَكَ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ ؟ " قَالَ: أَخْرَجَنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمَا، فَقَعَدَ مَعَهُمَا فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُهُمَا فَقَالَ لَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " هَلْ بِكُمَا مِنْ قُوَّةٍ فَتَنْطَلِقَانِ إِلَى هَذَا النَّخْلِ فَتُصِيبَانِ مِنْ طَعَامٍ وَشَرَابٍ ؟ " فَقُلْنَا: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا مَنْزِلَ مَالِكِ بْنِ التَّيِّهَانِ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، فَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَأُمُّ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ تَسْمَعُ السَّلَامَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ يَزِيدَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ السَّلَامِ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ، خَرَجَتْ أُمُّ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ تَسْعَى فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ تَسْلِيمَكَ وَلَكِنْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ تَزِيدَنَا مِنْ سَلَامِكَ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " أَيْنَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ ؟ " قَالَتْ: قَرِيبٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ذَهَبَ يَسْتَعْذِبُ لَنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ، ادْخُلُوا، السَّاعَةَ يَأْتِي، فَبَسَطَتْ لَهُمْ بِسَاطًا تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ حَتَّى جَاءَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ مَعَ حِمَارِهِ وَعَلَيْهِ قِرْبَتَانِ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَفَرِحَ بِهِمْ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ وَقَرَّبَ تَحِيَّتَهُمْ وَصَعِدَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ عَلَى نَخْلَةٍ فَصَرَمَ أَعْذَاقًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " حَسْبُكَ يَا أَبَا الْهَيْثَمِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ بُسْرِهِ وَمِنْ رُطَبِهِ، وَتَلَذُّوا بِهِ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُمْ بِمَاءٍ فَشَرِبُوا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " هَذَا مِنَ النَّعِيمِ الَّذِي تُسْأَلُونَ عَنْهُ "، ثُمَّ قَامَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ إِلَى شَاةٍ لِيَذْبَحَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " إِيَّاكَ وَاللَّبُونَ "، ثُمَّ قَامَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ فَعَجَنَ لَهُمْ وَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ رُءُوسَهُمْ فَنَامُوا فَاسْتَيْقَظُوا وَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ طَعَامُهُمْ، فَوَضَعَهُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَأَكَلُوا وَشَبِعُوا وَحَمِدُوا اللهَ، وَأَتَاهُمْ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ بِبَقِيَّةِ الْأَعْذَاقِ فَأَصَابُوا مِنْهُ وَسَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَدَعَا لَهُمْ بِخَيْرٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِأَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ: " إِذَا بَلَغَكَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَتَانَا رَقِيقٌ فَأْتِنَا " قَالَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ: فَلَمَّا بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَقِيقٌ أَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَعْطَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَأْسًا فَكَاتَبْتُهُ عَلَى أَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَأْسًا كَانَ أَعْظَمَ بَرَكَةً مِنْهُ
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one day at noon and found Abu Bakr ؓ sitting in the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What brought you out at this hour?" He said, "O Messenger of Allah, what brought you out?" He said, "The same that brought you out." Then 'Umar ؓ came, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O son of al-Khattab, what brought you out at this hour?" He said, "O Messenger of Allah, the same that brought you two out." He sat with them, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began talking to them. He said to them, "Do you have enough strength to go to this palm grove and get some food and drink?" We said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." So we set off until we came to the house of Malik b. al-Tayhan, Abu al-Haytham al-Ansari. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went ahead of us and asked permission to enter. The mother of Abu al-Haytham heard the greeting and wanted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to give them more greeting. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was about to leave, the mother of Abu al-Haytham came out running and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I heard your greeting, but I wanted you to increase your greeting to us." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "Where is Abu al-Haytham?" She said, "He is nearby, O Messenger of Allah; he went to fetch fresh water for us. Enter; he will come soon." She spread a mat for them under a tree, and Abu al-Haytham came with his donkey carrying two water skins. Abu al-Haytham rejoiced at them and brought them refreshment. Then Abu al-Haytham climbed a palm tree and cut down bunches of dates. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "That is enough, O Abu al-Haytham." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, you will eat from its unripe dates and its ripe dates and enjoy them." Then he brought them water, and they drank. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This is among the blessings about which you will be asked." Then Abu al-Haytham got up to slaughter a sheep, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Avoid the one that gives milk." Then Abu al-Haytham stood and kneaded dough for them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Bakr, and 'Umar put their heads down and slept. They woke up and found their food ready, and he placed it before them. They ate and were satisfied and praised Allah. Abu al-Haytham brought them the rest of the date bunches, and they ate some of it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said farewell and supplicated for them with good. Then he said to Abu al-Haytham, "When you hear that slaves have come to us, come to us." Abu al-Haytham said: When I heard that slaves had come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I went to Madinah, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave me a slave. I made a contract with him for forty thousand dirhams, and I have never seen a slave with greater blessing than him.

✧ "The month is twenty-nine nights," said Aisha: "Then Allah revealed the choice, and he began with me, the first of his wives, saying: 'I am presenting a matter to you. Do not hasten in it until you consult your parents.' He knew that my parents would not command me to separate from him. I said: 'What is it?' He said: 'Allah said: O Prophet, say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world and its adornment, then come, I will provide for you and release you with a kind release. And if you desire Allah and His Messenger.' I said: 'In which of these should I consult my parents? Why did you not present this to one of your wives who is older than me?' He said: 'Rather, you.' Aisha said: 'I said: Before I consult my parents, I desire Allah and His Messenger and the Hereafter.'" He said: "And it is said that Aisha said: 'I am content with Allah and His Messenger in hardship and ease.'" Aisha said: "Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon his wives and chose for them, and they were upon one word, as Aisha said."

✧ Umar b. al-Khattab, whenever he prayed a prayer, would sit for the people; whoever had a need would speak to him, otherwise he would rise. One day I attended at the door and said: 'O Yarfa!', so he came out, and Uthman was at the door. Yarfa went out and said: 'Rise, O son of Affan; rise, O son of Abbas.' We entered upon Umar, and he had heaps of wealth. He said: 'I examined the people of Madinah and saw that you two have the most kinsfolk among them. Take this wealth and divide it; if there is surplus, return it.' I said: 'And if there is shortage, will you give us more?' He said: 'A trait from Akhshan. You know that Muhammad and his family used to eat hard, coarse food.' I said: 'Yes, by Allah, if Allah had opened this upon Muhammad, he would have done with it other than what you have done.' He became angry and heaved until his ribs moved, and said: 'Then what would he have done?' I said: 'Then he would have eaten and fed us.' So it was relieved from him.

✧ I came to the Messenger of God ﷺ while he was at al-Batha', and he said: For what have you entered ihram? I said: I have entered ihram for what the Messenger of God ﷺ has entered ihram for. He said: 'Have you brought a sacrificial animal?' I said: No. He said: 'Then circumambulate the House and al-Safa and al-Marwa, and then exit ihram.' So I circumambulated the House and al-Safa and al-Marwa, then I went to a woman of my people and she combed my hair. I used to give fatwas to the people during the caliphate of Abu Bakr and the caliphate of 'Umar. While I was speaking in Madinah, a man said: Do you know what the Commander of the Believers has introduced regarding the rites of pilgrimage? I said: O people, whoever we have given a fatwa about something, let him wait, for the Commander of the Believers is coming to you, so follow him. When he arrived, I said: O Commander of the Believers, what is this that you have introduced regarding the rites of pilgrimage? He said: If we follow the Book of God, then God, Mighty and Majestic, said: "And complete the Hajj and 'Umra for God." And if we follow the Sunnah of our Prophet, then the Messenger of God ﷺ did not exit ihram until he had slaughtered the sacrificial animal.

A believer who meets the enemy and it is as if he is being struck with the thorns of the talh tree out of cowardice, then a stray arrow hits and kills him – that is in the second degree. A man who mixes a righteous deed with an evil one, meets the enemy and is true to Allah, fighting until he is killed – that is in the third degree. A man who was excessive against himself, meets the enemy and is true to Allah, fighting until he is killed – that is in the fourth degree.

He would say: "O 'Umar, what God gives you of this wealth without you asking or craving for it, then eat it and give it in charity." He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ sent me something, and I returned it. When I came to him, he said: "What made you return what I sent to you?" I said: "O Messenger of God, you said: 'It is better for you not to ask people for anything.'" He said: "That is only when you ask people. What comes to you without asking is a provision God has provided for you."

أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ لِمَوْلًى لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ: هُنَيٌّ، يَا هُنَيُّ: أَدْنِ رَبَّ الصُّرَيْمَةِ وَالْغُنَيْمَةِ وَدَعْنِي مِنْ غَنَمِ ابْنِ عَفَّانَ وَابْنِ عَوْفٍ فَإِنَّهُمَا إِنْ تَهْلِكْ مَاشِيَتُهُمَا يَرْجِعَانِ إِلَى مَالٍ وَإِنْ يَهْلِكْ رَبُّ الْغُنَيْمَةِ وَالصُّرَيْمَةِ يَأْتِي فَيَقُولُ: يَا عُمَرُ يَا عُمَرُ، وَإِنَّ الْمَاءَ وَالْكَلَاءَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيَّ، وَإِنَّهَا لَأَمْوَالُهُمُ الَّتِي قَاتَلُوا عَلَيْهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، وَأَسْلَمُوا عَلَيْهَا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ
✧ 'Umar b. al-Khattab said to a freed slave of his called Hunayy: "O Hunayy, bring near the owner of the small flock and the little sheep, and leave me from the sheep of Ibn 'Affan and Ibn 'Awf. For if their livestock perish, they will return to wealth; but if the owner of the little sheep and the small flock perishes, he will come and say: 'O 'Umar, O 'Umar.' And water and pasture are easier for me. Indeed, these are their wealth for which they fought in the Jahiliyyah and upon which they embraced Islam."

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ: مَا عِنْدِي شَيْءٌ أُعْطِيكَ، وَلَكِنِ اسْتَقْرِضْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَنَا شَيْءٌ فَنُعْطِيَكَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: مَا كَلَّفَكَ اللهُ هَذَا، أَعْطَيْتَ مَا عِنْدَكَ، فَإِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَكَ فَلَا تُكَلَّفْ. قَالَ: فَكَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَوْلَ عُمَرَ حَتَّى عُرِفَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي أَنْتَ، فَأَعْطِ وَلَا تَخْشَ مِنْ ذِي الْعَرْشِ إِقْلَالًا، قَالَ: فَتَبَسَّمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَقَالَ: " بِهَذَا أُمِرْتُ ".
✧ A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him. He said: "I have nothing to give you, but borrow until something comes to us and we give you." 'Umar said: "God has not burdened you with this. You gave what you had; if you do not have anything, you are not obligated." He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ disliked what 'Umar said, until it was seen in his face. The man said: "O Messenger of God, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you. Give and do not fear any lessening from the Owner of the Throne." He said: The Prophet ﷺ smiled and said: "With this I have been commanded."

✧ O Allah, strengthen the religion by whichever of these two men is more beloved to You—either ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb or Abū Jahl b. Hishām. And I hope that the supplication of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is for you. I said: Direct me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ—where is he? When they recognized sincerity in me, they directed me to the dwelling where he was. I came and knocked on the door. He said: Who is this? I said: ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb—and they knew my harshness toward the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and did not know of my Islam—so none of them dared open the door for me until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them: Open for him; if Allah wills good for him, He will guide him. He said: The door was opened for me, and two men took hold of my upper arms until I drew near to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them: Release him. So they released me, and I sat before him. He took hold of the collar of my shirt and then said: Become a Muslim, O son of al-Khaṭṭāb; O Allah, guide him. I said: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah. He said: The Muslims shouted takbīr so loudly that it was heard in the streets of Makkah. He said: They had been seventy before that, and when a man became Muslim and people learned of it, they would beat him and he would beat them. He said: I went to a man and knocked on his door. He said: Who is this? I said: ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb. He came out to me, and I said to him: Do you know that I have become a Ṣābiʾ (i.e., changed my religion)? He said: Have you done so? I said: Yes. He said: Do not do it. He said: Then he entered the house and shut the door in my face. He said: I went to another man of Quraysh and called him. He came out, and I said to him: Do you know that I have become a Ṣābiʾ? He said: Have you done so? I said: Yes. He said: Do not do it. Then he entered the house and shut the door in my face. I said: This is nothing. He said: And then I was not beaten, and nothing was said to me. The man said: Would you like your Islam to become known? He said: I said: Yes. He said: When the people sit in the Ḥijr, go to so-and-so and say to him privately: Do you realize that I have become a Ṣābiʾ? For he rarely conceals anything. So I went to him when the people had gathered in the Ḥijr and said to him privately: Do you realize that I have become a Ṣābiʾ? He said: Have you done so? I said: Yes. He said: Then he called out at the top of his voice: Indeed, ʿUmar has become a Ṣābiʾ. He said: Those people rushed at me and kept beating me while I beat them until my maternal uncle came. It was said to him: ʿUmar has become a Ṣābiʾ. He stood upon the Ḥijr and called out at the top of his voice: Indeed, I have granted protection to my sister's son, so let no one touch him. He said: They dispersed from me. And I did not wish to see any Muslim being beaten except that I saw it. I said: This is nothing—people are being beaten while I am not beaten, and nothing is said to me. When the people sat in the Ḥijr, I went to my maternal uncle and said: Listen, I return your protection to you. He said: Do not do it. He said: I refused, and I kept being beaten and beating others until Allah made Islam prevail. And we do not know of this hadith being narrated from Usāma b. Zayd, from his father, from his grandfather, from ʿUmar except by Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm al-Ḥunaynī, and we do not know of any chain for the story of ʿUmar's Islam more sound than this chain, although al-Ḥunaynī—as we mentioned—left Madinah and his hadith became confused and disordered.

" أَبْرِدُوا بِالصَّلَاةِ إِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْحَرُّ فَإِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ، وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ قَالَتْ: أَكَلَ بَعْضِي بَعْضًا، فَاسْتَأْذَنَتِ اللهَ فِي نَفَسَيْنِ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا، فَشِدَّةُ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ، وَشِدَّةُ الْبَرْدِ مِنْ زَمْهَرِيرِهَا
✧ Cool down the prayer when the heat is intense, for intense heat is from the raging of Hellfire. Hellfire complained to its Lord: My parts are consuming one another, so it sought permission for two breaths, and He granted it. Thus intense heat is from the raging of Hellfire, and intense cold is from its zamharīr (extreme cold).

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood in Makkah presenting himself to the tribes of the Arabs, tribe by tribe, during the season of pilgrimage, finding no one to respond to what he called them to until this clan of the Anṣār came to him—for Allah granted them felicity and brought them honor—and they gave him refuge and supported him. May Allah reward them well on behalf of their Prophet. By Allah, we have not fulfilled for them what we pledged to them. We said to them: We are the rulers and you are the ministers. And if I live until the beginning of next year, no governor of mine will remain except an Anṣārī.

✧ Islam will prevail until horses wade across the seas, and until merchants cross the sea. Then a people will appear who recite the Qurʾān and say: Who recites better than us? Who understands more than us? Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Is there any good in those? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: Those are fuel for the Fire—those are from you, from this Ummah.

كُنَّا قَدِ اسْتَبْطَأْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْقُدُومِ عَلَيْنَا، وَكَانَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ يَغْدُونَ إِلَى ظَهْرِ الْحَرَّةِ فَيَجْلِسُونَ حَتَّى يَرْتَفِعَ النَّهَارُ، فَإِذَا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ وَحَمِيَتِ الشَّمْسُ رَجَعَتْ إِلَى مَنَازِلِهَا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَكُنَّا نَنْتَظِرُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ قَدْ أَوْمَأَ عَلَى أُطُمٍ مِنْ آطَامِهِمْ فَصَاحَ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ: يَا مَعْشَرَ الْعَرَبِ هَذَا صَاحِبُكُمُ الَّذِي تَنْتَظِرُونَ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: وَسَمِعْتُ الْوَجْبَةَ فِي بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَأَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْبَابِ وَإِذَا الْمُسْلِمُونَ قَدْ لَبِسُوا السِّلَاحَ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ عِنْدَ الظُّهْرِ فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ حَتَّى نَزَلَ فِي بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ
✧ We had thought the Messenger of Allah ﷺ slow in coming to us. The Anṣār used to go out to the edge of the Ḥarra and sit until the day grew bright; when the day grew bright and the sun became hot, they returned to their homes. ʿUmar said: While we were waiting for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a Jewish man pointed from one of their fortresses and cried out at the top of his voice: O assembly of Arabs, this is your companion whom you are waiting for. ʿUmar said: I heard the commotion among the Banū ʿAmr b. ʿAwf and went out through the gate, and there were the Muslims donning their weapons. I set out with the people at noon, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the right-hand path until he stopped among the Banū ʿAmr b. ʿAwf.

ذَلِكَ فَقَسَمَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَصَابَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ عِشْرِينَ دِرْهَمًا، وَفَضَلَ مِنَ الْمَالِ فَضْلٌ، فَقَالَ لِلنَّاسِ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ فَضَلَ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ فَضْلٌ وَلَكُمْ خَدَمٌ يُعَالِجُونَ لَكُمْ، وَيَعْمَلُونَ لَكُمْ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ رَضَخْنَا لَهُمْ فَرَضَخَ لَهُمْ خَمْسَةَ الدَّرَاهِمِ خَمْسَةَ الدَّرَاهِمِ، فَقَالُوا: يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ لَوْ فَضَّلْتَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ قَالَ: أَجْرُ أُولَئِكَ عَلَى اللهِ إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ مَعَايِشُ، الْأُسْوَةُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْأَثَرَةِ، فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ اسْتُخْلِفَ عُمَرُ ؓ، فَفَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ الْفُتُوحَ فَجَاءَهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَالِ، فَقَالَ قَدْ كَانَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ فِي هَذَا الْمَالِ رَأْيٌ وَلِي رَأْيٌ آخَرُ، لَا أَجْعَلُ مَنْ قَاتَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَمَنْ قَاتَلَ مَعَهُ، فَفَضَّلَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارَ، فَفَرَضَ لِمَنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مِنْهُمْ خَمْسَةَ آلَافٍ خَمْسَةَ آلَافٍ، وَمَنْ كَانَ إِسْلَامُهُ قَبْلَ إِسْلَامِ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فَرَضَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ، وَفَرَضَ لِأَزْوَاجِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا، لِكُلِّ امْرَأَةٍ إِلَّا صَفِيَّةَ وَجُوَيْرِيَةَ فَرَضَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ سِتَّةَ آلَافٍ سِتَّةَ آلَافٍ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَأْخُذْنَهَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا فَرَضْتُ لَهُنَّ بِالْهِجْرَةِ، قُلْنَ مَا فَرَضْتَ لَهُنَّ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْهِجْرَةِ إِنَّمَا فَرَضْتَ لَهُنَّ مِنْ مَكَانِهِنَّ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَنَا مِثْلُ مَكَانِهِنَّ، فَأَبْصَرَ ذَلِكَ فَجَعَلَهُنَّ سَوَاءً مِثْلَهُنَّ، وَفَرَضَ لِلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا لِقَرَابَتِهِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَفَرَضَ لِأُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ، وَفَرَضَ لِلْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ خَمْسَةَ آلَافٍ خَمْسَةَ آلَافٍ فَأَلْحَقَهُمَا بِأَبِيهِمَا لِقَرَابَتِهِمَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَفَرَضَ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَةِ فَرَضْتَ لِأُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ وَفَرَضْتَ لِي ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافٍ ؟ فَمَا كَانَ لِأَبِيهِ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ، وَمَا كَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لِي، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَبَاهُ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَبِيكَ وَهُوَ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ مِنْكَ، وَفَرَضَ لِأَبْنَاءِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا أَلْفَيْنِ أَلْفَيْنِ، فَمَرَّ بِهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ: زِيدُوهُ أَلْفًا أَوْ قَالَ: زِدْهُ أَلْفًا يَا غُلَامُ، فَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَحْشٍ لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَزِيدُهُ عَلَيْنَا ؟ مَا كَانَ لِأَبِيهِ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لِآبَائِنَا، قَالَ: فَرَضْتُ لَهُ بِأَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَلْفَيْنِ وَزِدْتُهُ بِأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَلْفًا، فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَ أُمٌّ مِثْلُ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زِدْتُكَ أَلْفًا، وَفَرَضَ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ ثَمَانَمِائَةٍ، وَفَرَضَ لِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَخِي طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ يَعْنِي: عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ ثَمَانَمِائَةٍ، وَفَرَضَ لِابْنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ أَلْفَيْ دِرْهَمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ: جَاءَكَ ابْنُ عُثْمَانَ مِثْلَهُ فَفَرَضْتَ لَهُ ثَمَانَمِائَةٍ، وَجَاءَكَ غُلَامٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَفَرَضْتَ لَهُ فِي أَلْفَيْنِ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي لَقِيتُ أَبَا هَذَا يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَسَأَلَنِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ مَا أُرَاهُ إِلَّا قَدْ قُتِلَ فَسَلَّ سَيْفَهُ وَكَشَّرَ زَنْدَهُ وَقَالَ: إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ قُتِلَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ، فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ، وَهَذَا يَرْعَى الْغَنَمَ فَتُرِيدُونَ أَجْعَلُهُمَا سَوَاءً ؟ فَعَمِلَ عُمَرُ عُمْرَهُ بِهَذَا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ السَّنَةِ الَّتِي حَجَّ فِيهَا قَالَ نَاسٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ: لَوْ قَدْ مَاتَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَقَمْنَا فُلَانًا، يَعْنُونَ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ وَقَالُوا، كَانَتْ بَيْعَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَلْتَةً فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ فِي أَوْسَطِ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ بِمِنًى فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَجْلِسَ يَغْلِبُ عَلَيْهِ غَوْغَاءُ النَّاسِ وَهُمْ لَا يَحْتَمِلُونَ كَلَامَكَ، فَأَمْهِلْ أَوْ أَخِّرْ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ أَرْضَ الْهِجْرَةِ حَيْثُ أَصْحَابُكَ وَدَارُ الْإِيمَانِ وَالْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالْأَنْصَارُ فَتَكَلَّمْ بِكَلَامِكَ أَوْ فَتَتَكَلَّمُ فَيُحْتَمَلَ كَلَامُكَ، قَالَ: فَأَسْرَعَ السَّيْرَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَخَرَجَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: قَدْ بَلَغَنِي مَقَالَةُ قَائِلِكُمْ: لَوْ قَدْ مَاتَ عُمَرُ أَوْ لَوْ قَدْ مَاتَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَقَمْنَا فُلَانًا فَبَايَعْنَاهُ، وَكَانَتْ إِمَارَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَلْتَةً، أَجَلْ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ كَانَتْ فَلْتَةً، وَمِنْ أَيْنَ لَنَا مِثْلُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ نَمُدُّ أَعْنَاقَنَا إِلَيْهِ كَمَا نَمُدُّ أَعْنَاقَنَا إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَأَى رَأْيًا فَرَأَيْتُ أَنَا رَأْيًا وَرَأَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَقْسِمَ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ وَرَأَيْتُ أَنَا أَنْ أُفَضِّلَ فَإِنْ أَعِشْ إِلَى هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ فَسَأَرْجِعُ إِلَى رَأْيِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَرَأْيُهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ رَأْيِي، إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رُؤْيَا وَمَا أَرَى ذَاكَ إِلَّا عِنْدَ اقْتِرَابِ أَجَلِي، رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ دِيكًا أَحْمَرَ نَقَرَنِي ثَلَاثَ نَقَرَاتٍ - فَاسْتَعْبَرَتْ أَسْمَاءُ فَقَالَتْ: يَقْتُلُكَ عَبْدٌ أَعْجَمِيٌّ -، فَإِنْ أَهْلِكَ فَإِنَّ أَمْرَكُمْ إِلَى هَؤُلَاءِ السِّتَّةِ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَنْهُمْ رَاضٍ: عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ، وَالزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ، وَطَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، وَسَعْدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، وَإِنْ عِشْتُ فَسَأَعْهَدُ عَهْدًا لَا تَهْلِكُوا، أَلَا ثُمَّ إِنَّ الرَّجْمَ قَدْ رَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَرَجَمْنَا بَعْدَهُ وَلَوْلَا أَنْ تَقُولُوا كَتَبَ عُمَرُ مَا لَيْسَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ لَكَتَبْتُهُ قَدْ قَرَأْنَا فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ: الشَّيْخُ وَالشَّيْخَةُ إِذَا زَنَيَا فَارْجُمُوهُمَا الْبَتَّةَ نَكَالًا مِنَ اللهِ وَاللهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْعَمَّةِ وَابْنَةِ الْأَخِ فَمَا جَعَلْتُهُمَا وَارِثَيْنِ وَلَا يَرِثَا، وَإِنْ أَعِشْ فَسَأَفْتَحُ لَكُمْ مِنْهُ طَرِيقًا تَعْرِفُونَهُ وَإِنْ أَهْلِكْ فَاللهُ خَلِيفَتِي وَتَخْتَارُونَ رَأْيَكُمْ، إِنِّي

✧ When wealth comes to me from al-Baḥrayn, I will give you this much and this much and this much—three times—filling his two hands. He said: Take with your hands. So he took with his hands and found it to be five hundred. He said: Return to it. Then he gave him the like of it. Then he distributed the remainder among the people, and each received ten dirhams—that is, for each one. When the next year came, wealth greater than that came to him, and he distributed it among them, and each person received twenty dirhams, and there remained a surplus of wealth. He said to the people: O people, a surplus of this wealth remains, and you have servants who work for you and labor for you. If you wish, we will give them a small share. So he gave them five dirhams each. They said: O successor of the Messenger of Allah, if only you had favored the Muhājirūn. He said: The reward of those is with Allah; these are livelihoods, and equality in them is better than preference. When Abū Bakr ؓ died and ʿUmar ؓ was appointed caliph, Allah opened conquests for him, and wealth greater than that came to him. He said: Abū Bakr had an opinion concerning this wealth, and I have another opinion. I will not make one who fought the Messenger of Allah ﷺ like one who fought alongside him. So he favored the Muhājirūn and the Anṣār. He assigned five thousand, five thousand to those among them who participated in Badr; and to those whose Islam preceded the Islam of the people of Badr, he assigned four thousand, four thousand. He assigned twelve thousand to the wives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ—to each wife—except Ṣafiyya and Juwayriyya, to each of whom he assigned six thousand, six thousand, but they refused to take it. He said: I assigned them according to their emigration. They said: You did not assign them because of emigration; you assigned them because of their status with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and we have the same status as them. He saw that and made them equal like them. He assigned twelve thousand to al-ʿAbbās b. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib because of his kinship to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He assigned four thousand to Usāma b. Zayd, and five thousand each to al-Ḥasan and al-Ḥusayn, joining them to their father because of their kinship to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He assigned three thousand to ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUmar. He said: O father, you assigned four thousand to Usāma b. Zayd and three thousand to me? There was no virtue for his father that was not for you, and no virtue for him that was not for me. He said: His father was dearer to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than your father, and he was dearer to the Messenger of Allah than you. He assigned two thousand each to the sons of the Muhājirūn and the Anṣār who participated in Badr. ʿUmar b. Abī Salama passed by him, and he said: Increase him by a thousand—or he said: Increase him by a thousand, O boy. Muḥammad b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Jaḥsh said: For what reason do you increase him over us? There was no virtue for his father that was not for our fathers. He said: I assigned him two thousand because of Abū Salama, and I increased him by a thousand because of Umm Salama. If you have a mother like Umm Salama, I will increase you by a thousand. He assigned eight hundred to the people of Makkah, and to ʿUthmān b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUthmān—who was the nephew of Ṭalḥa b. ʿUbayd Allāh—he assigned eight hundred. He assigned two thousand dirhams to the son of al-Naḍr b. Anas. Ṭalḥa b. ʿUbayd Allāh said to him: Ibn ʿUthmān came to you, and you assigned him eight hundred, while a young man from the Anṣār came to you, and you assigned him two thousand. He said: I met this one's father on the day of Uḥud, and he asked me about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said: I think he has been killed. He drew his sword and bared his forearm and said: If the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has been killed, then Allah is ever-living and does not die. Then he fought until he was killed. And this one tends sheep—do you want me to make them equal? ʿUmar acted according to this throughout his life, until the last year in which he performed Hajj. Some people said: If the Commander of the Believers dies, we will appoint so-and-so—meaning Ṭalḥa b. ʿUbayd Allāh—and they said: The pledge to Abū Bakr was a sudden affair (faltah). He wanted to speak in the middle of the days of Tashrīq at Minā, but ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf said to him: O Commander of the Believers, this gathering is dominated by the rabble, and they will not bear your speech. Wait or postpone until you come to the land of emigration, where your companions and the abode of faith, the Muhājirūn and the Anṣār, are, and then speak your words so that your speech will be borne. He said: He hastened his travel until he arrived in Madinah. He went out on Friday, praised and extolled Allah, then said: The saying of your sayer has reached me: If ʿUmar dies—or if the Commander of the Believers dies—we will appoint so-and-so and pledge allegiance to him, and the rule of Abū Bakr was a sudden affair. Yes, by Allah, it was a sudden affair, but where can we find someone like Abū Bakr to whom we can stretch our necks as we stretched them to Abū Bakr? Abū Bakr had an opinion, and I have an opinion. Abū Bakr saw to distribute equally, and I saw to favor. If I live until this year, I will return to Abū Bakr's opinion, for his opinion is better than mine. I have seen a vision, and I do not think it is anything but the approach of my term: I saw a red rooster peck me three pecks. Asmāʾ wept and said: A non-Arab slave will kill you. If I die, your affair is entrusted to these six with whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was pleased when he passed away: ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān, ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf, al-Zubayr b. al-ʿAwwām, Ṭalḥa b. ʿUbayd Allāh, and Saʿd b. Mālik. If I live, I will make a covenant so that you will not perish. And indeed, stoning—the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stoned, and we stoned after him. Were it not that you would say ʿUmar wrote what is not in the Book of Allah, I would write it. We have indeed recited in the Book of Allah: 'The old man and the old woman, if they commit adultery, stone them absolutely as a punishment from Allah, and Allah is Mighty and Wise.' Then I looked into the paternal aunt and the brother's daughter, and I did not make them heirs, nor do they inherit. If I live, I will open for you a way regarding that which you will recognize; if I die, Allah is my successor, and you will choose according to your opinion. I have established the dīwān and founded the garrison towns. I fear for you only one of two men: a man who interprets the Qurʾān contrary to its proper interpretation and fights for it, and a man who thinks he is more entitled to sovereignty than his companion and fights for it. He spoke these words on Friday and died ؓ on Wednesday. And this hadith has been narrated in approximate wording from ʿUmar concerning the description of his killing through various chains, but we do not know of it being narrated from Zayd b. Aslam, from his father, in this complete form except through the hadith of Abū Maʿshar, from Zayd, from his father.

✧ Captives were brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and there was a woman among them who, whenever she found an infant among the captives, took it, pressed it to her belly, and suckled it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us: Do you think this woman would throw her child into the fire? We said: No, by Allah, while she is able not to throw him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah is more merciful to His servant than this woman is to her child.

✧ Tell me who will have the greatest station with Allah on the Day of Resurrection. They said: The angels. He said: What prevents them, despite their nearness to their Lord? Rather, others. They said: The prophets. He said: What prevents them, while revelation descends upon them? Rather, others. They said: Then tell us, O Messenger of Allah. He said: A people who come after you, who believe in me though they have not seen me, and who find the written page and believe in it. Those are the greatest of creation in station, and those are the greatest of creation in faith with Allah on the Day of Resurrection.

✧ 'Umar b. al-Khattab delivered a sermon on Friday. He mentioned the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and mentioned Abu Bakr, then said: "I saw a rooster peck me three times, and I do not think it is but for the approach of my term. Some people order me to appoint a successor, but Allah, Blessed and Exalted, would not let His religion or His caliphate be lost, by the One Who sent His Prophet ﷺ. If a matter hastens me, the caliphate is a consultation among these six with whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died while he was pleased with them. I know that some people criticize this matter; I struck them with this hand of mine for the sake of Islam. If they do so, they are the enemies of Allah, the disbelievers, the misguided. Then I will not leave after me anything more important to me than kalalah. I have not reviewed anything with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as I reviewed kalalah, and he was not harsh with me about anything as he was harsh with me about it, until he poked his finger into my chest and said: 'O 'Umar, is not the verse of summer at the end of Surat al-Nisa' sufficient for you?' If I live, I will judge in it with a ruling by which those who read the Quran and those who do not read the Quran will judge. O Allah, I call You to witness over the commanders of the garrison cities, for I sent them only to teach the people the Sunnah of their Prophet ﷺ, to distribute their spoils among them, and to raise to me whatever is unclear to them of their affairs. Then, O people, you eat two plants that I do not see except as evil: this onion and garlic. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he found their smell on a man in the mosque, order him to be taken out to al-Baqi'. So whoever eats them, let him kill them by cooking."
