   ✧ I said: "I will certainly fast the day and stand in prayer at night." Then I met the Prophet ﷺ, and he said: "Are you the one who said: 'I will certainly fast the day and stand in prayer at night'?" He said: I said: "I did say that." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "You will not be able to do that. So pray and sleep, fast and break your fast. Fast three days every month, for that is like fasting a lifetime." He said: I said: "I can do better than that." He said: "Fast one day and break your fast for two days." I said: "I can do better than that." He said: "Fast one day and break your fast one day. That is the most just fasting, and it is the fasting of Dawud ﷺ." I said: "I can do better than that." He said: "There is nothing better than that."

   كُنْتُ رَجُلًا مُجْتَهِدًا فَتَزَوَّجْتُ فَجَاءَ أَبِي إِلَى الْمَرْأَةِ فَقَالَ لَهَا: كَيْفَ تَجِدِي بَعْلَكِ ؟ فَقَالَتْ: نِعْمَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ، مَا يَنَامُ وَمَا يُفْطِرُ، فَوَقَعَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ أَبِي، فَقَالَ: زَوَّجْتُكَ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَفَعَلْتَ بِهَا مَا فَعَلْتَ ؟ فَلَمْ أُبَالِ مَا قَالَ، لِمَا أَجِدُ مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ إِلَى أَنْ بَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: لَكِنِّي أَنَامُ وَأُصَلِّي وَأَصُومُ وَأُفْطِرُ، فَصُمْ وَصَلِّ وَنَمْ وَقُمْ، صُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ " قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ: " فَصُمْ صَوْمَ دَاوُدَ ﷺ، صُمْ يَوْمًا وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمًا، وَاقْرَأِ الْقُرْآنَ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ " فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَنَا أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: " اقْرَأْهُ فِي خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ "، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَنَا أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَمَا زَالَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ سَبْعًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ لِكُلِّ عَمَلٍ شِرَّةً، وَلِكُلِّ شِرَّةٍ فَتْرَةً، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ فَتْرَتُهُ إِلَى سُنَّتِي فَقَدِ اهْتَدَى، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ فَتْرَتُهُ إِلَى غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ هَلَكَ " فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو: لَمَّا كَبِرَ وَضَعُفَ: لَأَنْ أَكُونَ قَبِلْتُ رُخْصَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَهْلِي وَمَالِي

   ✧ I was a man of great effort in worship, then I married. My father came to the woman and said to her: "How do you find your husband?" She said: "What a good man he is, from a good man. He does not sleep and he does not break his fast." Then there occurred between me and my father [a dispute]. He said: "I married you to a Muslim woman, and you did to her what you did?" I did not care what he said, because of the strength I found, until that reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: "But I sleep and pray, and I fast and break my fast. So fast, pray, sleep, and stand in prayer. Fast three days every month." I said: "I am stronger than that." He said: "Then fast the fasting of Dawud ﷺ: fast one day and break your fast one day, and read the Quran once every month." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I am stronger than that." He said: "Read it in fifteen days." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I am stronger than that." He kept reducing until he reached seven. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Every deed has a period of enthusiasm, and every enthusiasm has a period of slackness. Whoever's slackness is toward my Sunnah has been guided, and whoever's slackness is toward other than that has perished." Abdullah b. Amr said, when he grew old and weak: "If I had accepted the concession of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, it would be more beloved to me than my family and my wealth."

   زَوَّجَنِي أَبِي امْرَأَةً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَتْ عَلَيَّ، أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: لَا أَلْتَفِتُ إِلَيْهَا، أَوْ لَا أَعْبَأُ بِهَا مِمَّا لِي مِنَ الْعِبَادَةِ مِنَ الصَّوْمِ وَالصَّلَاةِ، فَدَخَلَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ عَلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ لَهَا: كَيْفَ وَجَدْتِ بَعْلَكِ ؟ قَالَتْ: كَخَيْرِ الرِّجَالِ وَكَخَيْرِ الْبُعُولَةِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ، لَمْ يَكْشِفْ لَنَا كَنَفًا، وَلَمْ يَقْرَبْ لَنَا فِرَاشًا، فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ فَعَضَّنِي بِلِسَانِهِ، وَقَالَ: أَنْكَحْتُكَ امْرَأَةً ذَاتَ حَسَبٍ فَفَعَلْتَ وَفَعَلْتَ، ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَشَكَانِي إِلَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ لِي: " أَتَصُومُ النَّهَارَ ؟ " قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " وَتَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ ؟ " قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أَصُومُ وَأُفْطِرُ وَأُصَلِّي وَأَنَامُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيَ: " اقْرَأِ الْقُرْآنَ فِي شَهْرٍ "، قَالَ قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ: " فَاقْرَأْهُ فِي خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ " قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا إِمَّا حُصَيْنٌ وَإِمَّا مُغِيرَةُ قَالَ: " فَاقْرَأْهُ فِي كُلِّ ثَلَاثٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " وَصُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ " قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بِي حَتَّى قَالَ: " صُمْ يَوْمًا وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمًا فَذَلِكَ أَفْضَلُ الصِّيَامِ وَهُوَ صَوْمُ دَاوُدَ

   ✧ My father married me to a woman from Quraysh. When she entered upon me, I think he said: I did not turn to her, or I did not pay attention to her, because of the worship I was engaged in, of fasting and prayer. Amr b. al-As entered upon her and said to her: "How did you find your husband?" She said: "Like the best of men, and like the best of husbands, from a man. He did not uncover any side for us, and he did not approach any bed for us." He came to me and bit me with his tongue, and said: "I married you to a woman of noble lineage, and you did such and such." Then he went to the Prophet ﷺ and complained about me to him. He said: The Prophet ﷺ sent for me and said to me: "Do you fast during the day?" I said: "Yes." He said: "Do you stand in prayer at night?" I said: "Yes." He said: "But I fast and break my fast, and I pray and sleep." Then he said to me: "Read the Quran in a month." He said: I said: "I find myself stronger than that." He said: "Then read it in fifteen days." I said: "I find myself stronger than that." One of them, either Husayn or Mughirah, said: "Then read it every three days." Then he said: "And fast three days every month." I said: "I am stronger than that." He said: He kept reducing for me until he said: "Fast one day and break your fast one day. That is the best fasting, and it is the fasting of Dawud."

Then he said: 'By the One in whose hand is Muhammad's soul, the Hour will not come until obscenity and foul speech, bad neighborliness, and severing of ties of kinship appear, and until the trustworthy is betrayed and the treacherous is trusted.'

And the likeness of the believer is like a piece of red gold: it is put into the fire and blown upon, but it does not change or diminish. By the One in whose hand is my soul, the best of martyrs are the just, and the best of Muslims is the one from whose tongue and hand Muslims are safe, and the best emigration is to abandon what God and His Messenger have forbidden.' And he said: 'Your appointment is my Pool, whose width is like its length, its expanse as between Aylah and Makkah. Its pitchers are as numerous as the stars of the sky. Its drink is whiter than silver. Whoever comes to it and drinks from it will never thirst after it.'"

A man said: 'One of his parents is a devil who rules the Byzantines. He will come with a million people, five hundred thousand on land and five hundred thousand at sea. They will land at a place called al-Amiq. He will say to his companions: "I still have some of your ship left," so he will stay behind with it and burn it with fire. Then he will say: "No Byzantium and no Constantinople; they are yours. Whoever wishes to flee, let him flee." The Muslims will reinforce one another until the people of Aden Abyan reinforce them. The Muslims will say to them: "Join them and be a single group." They will fight for a month until the horses wade in blood up to their hooves. On that day, the believer will have a double reward compared to what came before him, except for the companions of Muhammad ﷺ. On the last day of the month, Allah, Blessed and Exalted, will say: "Today I will draw My sword, support My religion, and take vengeance on My enemy." Allah will turn the tide against them and defeat them, until Constantinople is conquered. Their commander will say: "No embezzlement today." While they are thus dividing gold and silver with their shields, a call will come to them: "Indeed, the Dajjal has succeeded you in your homes." So they will leave what is in their hands and head toward the Dajjal.'

     قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، بَلَغَنِي عَنْكَ أَنَّكَ تُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " مَنْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ شَرْبَةً لَمْ تُقْبَلْ لَهُ صَلَاةٌ أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا "، فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَنْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ شَرْبَةً لَمْ تُقْبَلْ لَهُ تَوْبَةٌ أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا، فَإِنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ، وَإِنْ عَادَ لَمْ تُقْبَلْ لَهُ تَوْبَةٌ أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا، فَإِنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ عَادَ لَمْ تُقْبَلْ لَهُ تَوْبَةٌ أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا، فَإِنْ تَابَ - قَالَ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ: لَا أَدْرِي فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ - كَانَ حَتْمًا عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ يَسْقِيَهُ مِنْ طِينَةِ الْخَبَالِ أَوْ رَدْغَةِ الْخَبَالِ

     ✧ I said to 'Abd Allah b. 'Amr: I have heard that you narrate from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said: "Whoever drinks a sip of wine, his prayer will not be accepted for forty mornings." He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Whoever drinks a sip of wine, his repentance will not be accepted for forty mornings. If he repents, Allah will turn to him. If he returns, his repentance will not be accepted for forty mornings. If he repents, Allah will turn to him. If he returns, his repentance will not be accepted for forty mornings. If he repents—al-Awza'i said: I do not know whether in the third or fourth—it will be binding upon Allah to give him to drink from the mud of khabal or the pus of khabal.

     هَبَطْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِنْ ثَنِيَّةِ الْأَذَاخِرِ فَنَظَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَإِذَا عَلَيَّ رَيْطَةٌ مُضَرَّجَةٌ بِعُصْفُرٍ قَالَ: " مَا هَذِهِ ؟ " فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ كَرِهَهَا، فَأَتَيْتُ أَهْلِي وَهُمْ يَسْجُرُونَ تَنُّورَهُمْ، فَلَفَفْتُهَا ثُمَّ أَلْقَيْتُهَا، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: " مَا فَعَلَتِ الرَّيْطَةُ ؟ " قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: عَرَفْتُ مَا كَرِهْتَ مِنْهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَأَتَيْتُ أَهْلِي وَهُمْ يَسْجُرُونَ تَنُّورَهُمْ فَأَلْقَيْتُهَا فِيهِ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: فَهَلَّا كَسَوْتَهَا بَعْضَ أَهْلِكَ، قَالَ: وَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ حِينَ هَبَطَ مِنْ ثَنِيَّةِ الْأَذَاخِرِ صَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى جِدَارٍ اتَّخَذَهُ قِبْلَةً، فَأَقْبَلَتْ بَهْمَةٌ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَمُرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَمَا زَالَ يَدْنُو وَيُدَارِئُهَا حَتَّى نَظَرْتُ إِلَى بَطْنِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ لَصِقَ بِالْجِدَارِ فَمَرَّتْ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ

     ✧ We descended with the Prophet ﷺ from the mountain pass of al-Adhakhir. The Prophet ﷺ looked and saw upon me a thin mantle dyed with saffron. He said: "What is this?" I realized that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked it. I went to my family while they were heating their oven, wrapped it up, threw it in, then came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: "What happened to the mantle?" I said: I knew that you disliked it, O Messenger of Allah, so I went to my family while they were heating their oven and threw it in. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Why did you not clothe some of your family with it?" He said: And he mentioned that when he descended from the mountain pass of al-Adhakhir, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed with them facing a wall that he took as a qiblah. A young sheep came wanting to pass in front of the Prophet ﷺ. He kept drawing near and warding it off until I saw the belly of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ touching the wall, and it passed behind him.

     مَنْ قَالَ فِي يَوْمٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، لَمْ يَبْلُغْهُ أَحَدٌ كَانَ قَبْلَهُ وَلَا يُدْرِكُهُ أَحَدٌ كَانَ بَعْدَهُ إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى بِأَفْضَلَ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ

     ✧ Whoever says in a day one hundred times: 'There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner; His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is over all things capable,' no one before him will surpass him, and no one after him will overtake him except one who brings something better than his deed.

     كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَقْبَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فِي فِئَامٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَقَدِ ارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا فَجَلَسَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَرِيبًا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَجَلَسَ عُمَرُ قَرِيبًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " لِمَ ارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُكُمَا ؟ " فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: الْحَسَنَاتُ مِنَ اللهِ وَالسَّيِّئَاتُ مِنْ أَنْفُسِنَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " فَمَا قُلْتَ يَا عُمَرُ ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: الْحَسَنَاتُ وَالسَّيِّئَاتُ مِنَ اللهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَنْ تَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ جِبْرِيلُ وَمِيكَائِيلُ، فَقَالَ مِيكَائِيلُ مَقَالَتَكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، وَقَالَ جِبْرِيلُ مَقَالَتَكَ يَا عُمَرُ، فَقَالَا: أَنَخْتَلِفُ فَيَخْتَلِفَ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ ؟ وَإِنْ يَخْتَلِفْ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ يَخْتَلِفْ أَهْلُ الْأَرْضِ، فَتَحَاكَمَا إِلَى إِسْرَافِيلَ فَقَضَى بَيْنَهُمَا أَنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ وَالسَّيِّئَاتِ مِنَ اللهِ " ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: " احْفَظَا قَضَائِي بَيْنَكُمَا لَوْ أَرَادَ اللهُ أَلَّا نَعْصِيَ لَمْ يَخْلُقْ إِبْلِيسَ

     ✧ We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when Abu Bakr and 'Umar came in a group of people, and their voices had risen. Abu Bakr sat near the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and 'Umar sat near. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Why did your voices rise?" A man said: O Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr said: Good deeds are from Allah and evil deeds are from ourselves. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "What did you say, O 'Umar?" He said: I said: Good deeds and evil deeds are from Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The first to speak about this were Jibril and Mika'il. Mika'il said what you said, O Abu Bakr, and Jibril said what you said, O 'Umar. They said: Shall we differ, and then the people of heaven differ? If the people of heaven differ, the people of earth will differ. They referred the matter to Israfil, and he judged between them that good deeds and evil deeds are from Allah. Then he turned to Abu Bakr and 'Umar and said: "Preserve my judgment between you two: if Allah had willed that we not disobey, He would not have created Iblis."

     قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو: مَا أَكْثَرَ مَا رَأَيْتَ قُرَيْشًا أَصَابَتْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِيمَا كَانَتْ تُظْهِرُ مِنْ عَدَاوَتِهِ ؟ قَالَ: قَدْ حَضَرْتُهُمْ وَقَدِ اجْتَمَعَ أَشْرَافُهُمْ يَوْمًا فِي الْحِجْرِ، فَذَكَرُوا، فَقَالُوا: مَا رَأَيْنَا مِثْلَ صَبْرِنَا مِنْ أَمْرِ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ قَطُّ، سَفَّهَ أَحْلَامَنَا، وَشَتَمَ آبَاءَنَا، وَعَابَ دِينَنَا، وَفَرَّقَ جَمَاعَتَنَا، لَقَدْ صَبَرْنَا مِنْهُ عَلَى أَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ، فَبَيْنَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَقْبَلَ يَمْشِي حَتَّى اسْتَلَمَ الرُّكْنَ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ مَرَّ بِهِمْ غَمَزُوهُ فَعَرَفْتُ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَلَمَّا مَرَّ بِهِمُ الثَّانِيَةَ غَمَزُوهُ بِمِثْلِهَا فَعَرَفْتُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، فَمَرَّ بِهِمُ الثَّالِثَةَ فَغَمَزُوهُ بِمِثْلِهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: تَسْمَعُونَ يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ جِئْتُكُمْ بِالذَّبْحِ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذَتِ الْقَوْمَ كَآبَةٌ حَتَّى مَا مِنْهُمْ رَجُلٌ إِلَّا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ طَائِرٌ وَاقِعٌ حَتَّى إِنَّ أَشَدَّهُمْ فِيهِ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ لَيَلْقَاهُ بِأَحْسَنِ مَا يَجِدُ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ أَنَّهُ لَيَقُولُ: انْصَرِفْ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ، انْصَرِفْ رَاشِدًا، فَوَاللهِ مَا كُنْتَ جَهُولًا، فَانْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ اجْتَمَعُوا وَأَنَا مَعَهُمْ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: ذَكَرْتُمْ مَا بَلَغَ مِنْكُمْ، وَمَا بَلَغَكُمْ عَنْهُ حَتَّى إِذَا أَتَاكُمْ بِمَا تَكْرَهُونَ تَرَكْتُمُوهُ، فَبَيْنَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ طَلَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالُوا: قُومُوا إِلَيْهِ وَثْبَةَ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ، فَمَا زَالُوا يَقُولُونَ: أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَقُولُ كَذَا وَكَذَا لِمَا بَلَغَهُمْ مِنْ عَيْبِ آلِهَتِهِمْ قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " نَعَمْ أَنَا الَّذِي أَقُولُ ذَلِكَ "، قَالَ: فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ أَخَذَ بِجَامِعِ رِدَائِهِ، قَالَ: وَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ دُونَهُ وَهُوَ يَبْكِي يَقُولُ: أَتَقْتُلُونَ رَجُلا أَنْ يَقُولَ رَبِّيَ اللهُ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا عَنْهُ فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ أَشَدَّ مَا رَأَيْتُ قُرَيْشًا بَلَغَتْ مِنْهُ قَطُّ ﷺ

     ✧ I said to 'Abd Allah b. 'Amr: What is the worst thing you saw Quraysh inflict upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in their open enmity? He said: I was present when their nobles gathered one day in the Hijr. They mentioned and said: We have never seen anyone like the patience we have shown regarding this man's affair. He has belittled our dreams, insulted our forefathers, criticized our religion, and divided our community. We have been patient with him over a great matter. While they were thus, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came forward and walked until he touched the corner. When he passed by them, they winked at him, and I recognized it in the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When he passed by them the second time, they winked at him similarly, and I recognized that in his face. He passed by them the third time, and they winked at him similarly. Then he said: "Listen, O assembly of Quraysh! By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, I have brought you slaughter." He said: The people were seized with gloom, so that there was not a man among them but a bird was perched on his head. Even the severest of them against him before that would meet him with the best words he could find, saying: Depart, O Abu al-Qasim, depart rightly guided. By Allah, you were not ignorant. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ departed. When it was the next day, they gathered and I was with them. They said to one another: You mentioned what he had reached of you and what reached you from him, until when he came to you with what you dislike, you left him. While they were thus, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appeared. They said: Rise against him as one man. They kept saying: You are the one who says such and such about our gods—referring to what had reached them of his criticism of their gods. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would say: "Yes, I am the one who says that." He said: I saw a man among them seize the collar of his cloak. He said: Abu Bakr stood in his defense, weeping and saying: "Would you kill a man for saying, 'My Lord is Allah'?" Then they turned away from him. That was the worst I ever saw Quraysh do to him ﷺ.
