   وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «قَرَأَ أُبَيٌّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ» قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَقَرَأْتُ عَلَى إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ قُسْطَنْطِينَ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ «الْقُرَانُ اسْمٌ وَلَيْسَ بِمَهْمُوزٍ وَلَمْ يُؤْخَذْ مِنْ قَرَأْتُ وَلَوْ أُخِذَ مِنْ قَرَأْتُ كَانَ كُلُّ مَا قُرِئَ قُرْآنًا وَلَكِنَّهُ اسْمٌ لِلْقُرَانِ مِثْلُ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ يُهْمَزُ قَرَأْتُ وَلَا يُهْمَزُ الْقُرَانُ»

   ✧ Ibn 'Abbas said: 'Ubayy recited to the Prophet ﷺ. Al-Shafi'i said: I recited to Isma'il b. Qustantin, and he used to say: 'The Quran is a noun and is not hamzated, and it is not derived from "I recited." If it were derived from "I recited," everything recited would be Quran. Rather, it is a name for the Quran like the Torah and the Gospel. "I recited" is hamzated, but the Quran is not hamzated.'

   جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيءَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَسْتُ بِنَبِيءِ اللَّهِ وَلَكِنِّي نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ»

   ✧ A bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Nabi' of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I am not Nabi' of Allah; rather, I am Nabi of Allah.'

   «مَا هَمَزَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَلَا عُمَرُ وَلَا الْخُلَفَاءُ وَإِنَّمَا الْهَمْزُ بِدْعَةٌ ابْتَدَعُوهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ» سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ يَعْقُوبَ الشَّيْبَانِيَّ الْحَافِظَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ حَنْبَلٍ يَقُولُ «لَا أَكْتُبُ حَدِيثَ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ الرَّبَذِيِّ وَلَا حَدِيثَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ الْأَفْرِيقِيِّ»

   ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not pronounce hamzah, nor did Abu Bakr, nor 'Umar, nor the caliphs. Hamzah is an innovation they introduced after them. I heard Abu 'Abd Allah Muhammad b. Ya'qub al-Shaybani al-Hafiz say: I heard Abu Zakariya Yahya b. Muhammad b. Yahya say: I heard Ahmad b. Hanbal say: 'I do not write the hadith of Musa b. 'Ubaydah al-Rabadhi, nor the hadith of 'Abd al-Rahman b. Ziyad al-Afriqi.'

   عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ بِالتَّفْخِيمِ {كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ} [آل عمران 49] عُذْرًا وَنُذْرًا وَالصَّدَفَيْنِ وَ {أَلَا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالْأَمْرُ} [الأعراف 54] وَأَشْبَاهُ هَذَا فِي الْقُرْآنِ «صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» لا والله العوفي على ضعفه وبكار ليس بعمدة والحديث واه منكر

   ✧ From the Prophet ﷺ, he said: 'The Quran was revealed with tafkhim: {like the form of a bird} [Al 'Imran 49], as an excuse and as a warning, and the two barriers, and {Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command} [al-A'raf 54], and similar to this in the Quran.' Its chain is authentic, but they did not record it. No, by Allah, al-'Awfi is weak, and Bakkar is not reliable, and the hadith is weak and rejected.

   عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُقَطِّعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ {بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ} »

   ✧ From Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, she said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pause in his recitation: {In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds - the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful, Sovereign of the Day of Recompense}.'

6. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 2910Sahih

   أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْطَعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ آيَةَ آيَةً {الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ} [الفاتحة 2] ثُمَّ يَقِفُ {الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} [الفاتحة 1] ثُمَّ يَقِفُ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ «وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ تَقْرَؤُهَا (مَلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ) »

   ✧ The Prophet ﷺ used to cut off his recitation verse by verse: "Al-ḥamdu lillāhi rabbi al-ʿālamīn" [al-Fātiḥah:2], then he would pause; "al-Raḥmān al-Raḥīm" [al-Fātiḥah:1], then he would pause. Ibn Abī Mulaykah said: "Umm Salamah used to recite it as 'Maliki yawmi al-dīn.'"

   أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَرَأَ {اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ} [الفاتحة 6] بِالصَّادِ

   ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited "Ihdinā al-ṣirāṭa al-mustaqīm" [al-Fātiḥah:6] with ṣād.

9. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 2913Sahih

   أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ قَالَ {غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ} [الفاتحة 7] قَالَ «آمِينَ» يَخْفِضُ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ قَالَ الْقَاضِي {غَيْرِ} [الفاتحة 7] بِخَفْضِ الرَّاءِ فَإِنَّ فِي قِرَاءَةِ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ {غَيْرَ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ} [الفاتحة 7]

   ✧ That he prayed with the Prophet ﷺ when he said "ghayri al-maghḍūbi ʿalayhim wa lā al-ḍāllīn" [al-Fātiḥah:7], he said "Āmīn," lowering his voice with it. The judge said: "ghayri" [al-Fātiḥah:7] with kasrah on the rāʾ; for in the reading of the people of Makkah it is "ghayra al-maghḍūbi ʿalayhim" [al-Fātiḥah:7].

10. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 2914Abu Dawud silent

    أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَا وَصَاحِبٌ لِي فَلَمْ نَجِدْهُ فَأَطْعَمَتْنَا عَائِشَةُ تَمْرًا وَعَصِيدَةً وَقَالَ فَلَمْ نَلْبَثْ أَنْ جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَتَقَلَّعُ وَيَتَكَفَّأُ قَالَ «أَطَعِمْتُمَا شَيْئًا؟» قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ جَاءَ الرَّاعِي وَعَلَى يَدِهِ سَخْلَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَوَلَدَتْ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «مَاذَا؟» قَالَ بَهْمَةٌ قَالَ «اذْبَحْ مَكَانَهَا شَاةً» ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ «لَا تَحْسَبَنَّ أَنَّا إِنَّمَا ذَبَحْنَاهَا مِنْ أَجَلِكَ لَنَا غَنَمٌ مِائَةٌ لَا نُحِبُّ أَنْ تَزِيدَ فَإِذَا حَمَلَ الرَّاعِي ذَبَحْنَا مَكَانَهَا شَاةً» قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَحْسَبَنَّ» وَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَا يَحْسَبَنَّ رَوَاهُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ لَقِيطٍ بِهَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةِ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص

    ✧ I came to the Prophet ﷺ with a companion of mine but we did not find him. Aisha then fed us dates and porridge. Then, the Prophet ﷺ came, dragging his foot and tying his lower garment. He asked, "Did you feed them anything?" We said, "Yes." He said, "While we were like that, a shepherd came by with a sheep. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Did she give birth?" He said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What did she deliver?" He replied, "A healthy lamb." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Slaughter a sheep instead of her." Then, he turned to me and said, "Do not think that we slaughtered her only for your sake. We have a hundred sheep, and we do not want them to increase. So, whenever a shepherd is burdened with the sheep, we slaughter a sheep in its place." Ibn Juraij said, "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Do not think' and did not say, 'Do not assume.'" This was narrated by Sufyan Ath-Thawri from Abu Hashim from Asim bin Laqit, but Adh-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary.

    «لَا تَحْسَبَنَّ» وَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَا يَحْسَبَنَّ

    ✧ "Lā taḥsabanna," and he did not say "lā yaḥsabanna."

    ✧ "From no soul does it accept any intercession, and no compensation can be taken from it" [2:48]. Ubayy ibn Ka'b said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited to me: "No soul will be recompensed for any other, nor will intercession be accepted from it." [2:48] with تَاءْ (ta) and "no compensation can be taken from it" [2:48] with يَاء (ya).

    كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي مَسِيرٍ وَقَدْ تَفَاوَتَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ فِي السَّيْرِ فَرَفَعَ بِهَاتَيْنِ الْآيَتَيْنِ صَوْتَهُ {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّ زَلْزَلَةَ السَّاعَةِ شَيْءٌ عَظِيمٌ يَوْمَ تَرَوْنَهَا تَذْهَلُ كُلُّ مُرْضِعَةٍ عَمَّا أَرْضَعَتْ وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمْلٍ حَمْلَهَا وَتَرَى النَّاسَ سُكَارَى وَمَا هُمْ بِسُكَارَى وَلَكِنَّ عَذَابَ اللَّهِ شَدِيدٌ} [الحج 2] فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ أَصْحَابُهُ حَثُّوا الْمَطِيَّ وَعَرَفُوا أَنَّهُ عِنْدَهُ قَوْلٌ يَقُولُهُ فَقَالَ «أَتَدْرُونَ أَيَّ يَوْمٍ ذَاكُمْ؟» قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ يَوْمٌ يُنَادِي آدَمُ رَبَّهُ فَيَقُولُ يَا آدَمُ ابْعَثْ بَعْثَ النَّارِ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ وَمَا بَعْثُ النَّارِ؟ قَالَ مِنْ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ تِسْعُ مِائَةٍ وَتِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ فِي النَّارِ وَوَاحِدٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَأَبْلَسَ أَصْحَابُهُ فَمَا أَوْضَحُوا بِضَاحِكَةٍ فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الَّذِي بِأَصْحَابِهِ قَالَ «اعْلَمُوا وَبَشِّرُوا فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّكُمْ لَمَعَ خَلِيقَتَيْنِ مَا كَانَتَا مَعَ شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا كَثَّرَتَاهُ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ وَمَنْ هَلَكَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ وَبَنِي إِبْلِيسَ» فَسُرِّيَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ بَعْضُ الَّذِي يَجِدُونَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اعْلَمُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ مَا أَنْتُمْ فِي النَّاسِ إِلَّا كَالشَّامَةِ فِي جَنْبِ الْبَعِيرِ أَوْ كَالرَّقْمَةِ فِي ذِرَاعِ الدَّابَّةِ» حَدِيثُ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتُوَائِيِّ حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ فَإِنَّ أَكْثَرَ أَئِمَّتِنَا مِنَ الْمُتَقَدِّمِينَ عَلَى أَنَّ الْحَسَنَ قَدْ سَمِعَ مِنَ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ فَأَمَّا إِذَا اخْتَلَفَ هِشَامٌ وَالْحَكَمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ فَالْقَوْلُ قَوْلُ هِشَامٍ الحكم بن عبد الملك واه

    ✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and some of his companions had lagged behind in travel. He raised his voice with these two verses: "Yā ayyuhā al-nāsu ittaqū rabbakum inna zalzalata al-sāʿati shayʾun ʿaẓīm. Yawma tarawnahā tadh-halu kullu murḍiʿatin ʿammā arḍaʿat wa taḍaʿu kullu dhāti ḥamlin ḥamlahā wa tara al-nāsa sukārā wa mā hum bi-sukārā wa lākinna ʿadhāba Allāhi shadīd" [al-Ḥajj:2]. When his companions heard that, they urged on their mounts, and they knew that he had something to say. He said: "Do you know which day that is?" They said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "A day when Adam will call upon his Lord, and He will say: 'O Adam, send forth the delegation of the Fire.' He will say: 'O Lord, and what is the delegation of the Fire?' He will say: 'From every thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine to the Fire, and one to Paradise.'" So his companions were struck with despair, and they did not show a single smile. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw what had befallen his companions, he said: "Know and rejoice, for by the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, you are with two creations that have never been with anything except that they increased it: Gog and Magog, and those who perished from the children of Adam and the children of Iblis." Then some of what they were feeling was relieved. Then he said: "Know and rejoice, for by the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, you are among mankind only like a mole on the side of a camel, or like a mark on the foreleg of a beast." The hadith of Hishām al-Dastuwāʾī is a sound hadith, for most of our early imams hold that al-Ḥasan did hear from ʿImrān b. Ḥuṣayn. But when Hishām and al-Ḥakam b. ʿAbd al-Malik differ, the word is that of Hishām. Al-Ḥakam b. ʿAbd al-Malik is weak.

    ✧ A man from Banū Sulaym passed by a group of the Prophet's companions ﷺ with some sheep of his, and he greeted them. They said: "He did not greet you except to seek protection from you." So they went to him and killed him, and took his sheep, and brought them to the Prophet ﷺ. Then Allah, exalted is He, sent down: "Yā ayyuhā alladhīna āmanū idhā ḍarabtum fī sabīli Allāhi fa-tabayyanū wa lā taqūlū li-man alqā ilaykumu al-salāma lasta muʾminan" [al-Nisāʾ:94] up to His saying: "kadhālika kuntum min qablu fa-manna Allāhu ʿalaykum fa-tabayyanū" [al-Nisāʾ:94].

    ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent to me, saying: 'Put on your clothes and your weapon, then come to me.' So I put on my clothes and my weapon and went to him. I found him sitting and performing ablution. He looked up at me, then lowered his gaze, then said: 'O 'Amr, I intend to send you on an expedition.

He said: "And his face will be made white, and a crown of gleaming pearls will be placed on his head." He said: "Then he will go to his companions." He said: "They will see him from afar and say: 'O Allah, bring him to us and bless us in this one,' until he comes to them and says: 'Rejoice, for each man among you will have the like of this.' As for the disbeliever, his face will be blackened, and his body will be extended for him sixty cubits in the form of Adam. His companions will see him and say: 'We seek refuge in Allah from this one. O Allah, do not bring him to us.' He said: "Then he will come to them, and they will say: 'O Allah, keep him away.' He said: "Then he will say: 'May Allah distance you, for each of you will have the like of this.'"

    ✧ That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited: (The heavens almost rupture from it) with yāʾ and nūn, {and the mountains collapse} [Maryam: 90] with tāʾ, {because they invoke for the Most Merciful a son.

    ✧ A man recited to ʿAbdullāh {Ṭā Hā} [Ṭā Hā: 1] with an open (fatḥah), and ʿAbdullāh corrected him: {Ṭā Hā} [Ṭā Hā: 1] with a kasrah. The man said to him, 'It only means: put your foot down, with an open (fatḥah).' ʿAbdullāh said: 'Thus the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited it, and thus Jibrīl ﷺ brought it down.'

    سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ تُفْتَحُ يَأْجُوجُ وَمَأْجُوجُ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {مِنْ كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَنْسِلُونَ} [الأنبياء 96] قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ فِي قِرَاءَةِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مِنْ كُلِّ جَدَثٍ يَنْسِلُونَ بِالْجِيمِ وَالثَّاءِ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِ {مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَنْسِلُونَ} [يس 51] وَهِيَ الْقُبُورُ

    ✧ I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Yājūj and Mājūj will be opened, as Allah ﷻ said: {From every elevation they descend} [al-Anbiyāʾ: 96].'

    أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَرَأَ {وَتَرَى النَّاسَ سُكَارَى وَمَا هُمْ بِسُكَارَى} [الحج 2] قَدْ أَخْرَجَ الْبُخَارِيُّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ «يَا آدَمُ أَخْرِجْ بَعْثَ النَّارِ» وَالْحَدِيثُ بِطُولِهِ وَفِي آخِرِهِ {وَتَرَى النَّاسَ سُكَارَى وَمَا هُمْ بِسُكَارَى} [الحج 2] وَأَصَحُّ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ الْحَدِيثُ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَهُ الْإِمَامُ الْبُخَارِيُّ

    ✧ That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited: {And you see the people intoxicated, yet they are not intoxicated} [al-Ḥajj: 2]. Al-Bukhārī has already transmitted this hadith from ʿUmar b. Ḥafṣ b. Ghiyāth, from his father, from al-Aʿmash, from Abū Ṣāliḥ, from Abū Saʿīd, saying: Allah says: 'O Adam, bring out the delegation of the Fire,' and the hadith in its entirety, and at its end: {And you see the people intoxicated, yet they are not intoxicated} [al-Ḥajj: 2]. And the more authentic of the two hadiths is the hadith that Imam al-Bukhārī transmitted.

    لَمَّا أُخْرِجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَخْرَجُوا نَبِيَّهَمْ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ لَيَهْلِكُنَّ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقَاتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِيرٌ} [الحج 39] قَالَ «وَهِيَ أَوَّلُ آيَةٍ نَزَلَتْ فِي الْقِتَالِ»

    ✧ When the Prophet ﷺ was expelled from Makkah, Abū Bakr said: 'They have expelled their Prophet. Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we return. They will certainly be destroyed.' Then Allah the Exalted sent down: {Permission is given to those who are fought, because they were wronged, and indeed Allah is able to give them victory} [al-Ḥajj: 39]. He said: 'And it is the first verse revealed concerning fighting.'

    ✧ Regarding the saying of Allah ﷻ: {It was not proper for us to take} [al-Furqān: 18] — or 'to adopt' — he said: I heard the Prophet ﷺ recite: {that we take besides You} [al-Furqān: 18], with the nūn in the accusative (naṣb).

    عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ {الم غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ} [الروم 2] أَوْ غَلَبَتْ؟ فَقَالَ أَقْرَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ {الم غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ} [الروم 1] «لَمْ نَكْتُبِ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ إِلَّا أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ الشَّامِيَّ لَيْسَ مِنْ شَرْطِ الْكِتَابِ» محمد بن سعيد هو المصلوب هالك وبكر بن خنيس متروك

    ✧ Regarding the saying of Allah ﷻ: {Alif Lām Mīm. The Romans have been defeated} [al-Rūm: 2] — or 'have defeated'? He said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me to recite: {Alif Lām Mīm. The Romans have been defeated} [al-Rūm: 1].' We have not written these two hadiths except with this chain, although Muḥammad b. Saʿīd al-Shāmī is not of the standard of this book. Muḥammad b. Saʿīd is the one who was crucified, perished, and Bakr b. Khunays is abandoned.

    ✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from Uhud, he passed by Mus'ab b. 'Umayr, who lay slain on his path.

Some of them have fulfilled their vow, and some are still waiting, and they have not changed in the least} [al-Ahzāb 23]. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I bear witness that these are martyrs in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection. So come to them and visit them. By the One in whose hand is my soul, no one greets them until the Day of Resurrection except that they return his greeting."

     ✧ The Jews of Khaybar were fighting Ghatafan. Whenever they met, the Jews of Khaybar were defeated. So the Jews sought refuge in this supplication: “O Allah, we ask You by the right of Muhammad, the unlettered Prophet, whom You promised to bring forth for us at the end of time, to grant us victory over them.” He said: So whenever they met, they called with this supplication and defeated Ghatafan. But when the Prophet ﷺ was sent, they disbelieved in him, so Allah revealed: {And they used to seek victory before} [Al-Baqarah 89] — by you, O Muhammad, over the disbelievers. “ ” Necessity led to its inclusion in the tafsir, and it is strange from his narration.

May you be bereft of your father! If we knew that, we would not have married his women or divided his inheritance.” Then he said: “I will tell you about that. The devils used to eavesdrop on the heaven, and one of them would come with a word of truth that people had heard, and he would add seventy lies to it, then instill it into people’s hearts. Allah informed Solomon son of David of that, so he took it and buried it under the throne. When Solomon died, a devil stood on the road and said, ‘Shall I guide you to Solomon’s treasure, the like of which no one has, the inaccessible treasure?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ So they brought it out, and it was sorcery. The nations inherited it, and its remnants are what the people of Iraq talk about.

So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ faced it and prayed toward the Sacred House in Jerusalem, and left the Ancient House. Then Allah, Exalted is He, said: {The foolish among the people will say, 'What has turned them away from their qiblah, which they used to face?'} [Al-Baqarah 142], meaning the Sacred House in Jerusalem. So He abrogated it and turned him toward the Ancient House. Then Allah, Exalted is He, said: {And from wherever you set out, turn your face toward the Sacred Mosque. And wherever you are, turn your faces toward it} [Al-Baqarah 150].

'Awf fainted, and they thought that he had died during it. So his wife Umm Kulthum went out to the mosque seeking help through the patience and prayer she had been commanded to use. When he regained consciousness, he said, "Did I faint just now?" They said, "Yes." He said, "You are right. Two angels came to me and said, 'Come, let us take you to the Mighty, the Trustworthy for judgment.' Then another angel said, 'Return him, for this is one of those for whom you wrote happiness while they were still in their mothers' wombs, and his children will benefit from him for as long as Allah wills.'" He lived for a month after that, then died.

     ✧ What excellent two burdens, and what an excellent addition: those who, when affliction strikes them, say, 'Indeed we belong to Allah and indeed to Him we will return.' Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy—what excellent two burdens—and it is those who are guided—what an excellent addition.

165. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 3069Sahih

     إِنَّمَا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ كَانُوا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِذَا أَحْرَمُوا لَا يَحِلُّ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَطُوفُوا بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا ذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ {إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ} [البقرة 158] «إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ»

     ✧ This verse was only revealed concerning the Ansar. In the pre-Islamic era, when they entered ihram, it was not permissible for them to circumambulate between al-Safa and al-Marwah. When we came, they mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so Allah revealed: {Indeed, al-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah} [al-Baqarah 158] to the end of the verse.

166. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 3070Sahih

     كَانَتَا مِنْ مَشَاعِرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْإِسْلَامُ أَمْسَكْنَا عَنْهُمَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ} [البقرة 158] اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا وَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا الْآيَةُ

     ✧ They were among the rituals of the pre-Islamic era, so when Islam came we refrained from them. Then Allah revealed: {Indeed, al-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. So whoever performs Hajj to the House or performs Umrah, there is no blame upon him to walk between them. And whoever volunteers good...} the verse.

167. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 3071Sahih

     أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَبْدَأُ بِالصَّفَا قَبْلَ الْمَرْوَةِ أَوْ أَبْدَأُ بِالْمَرْوَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّفَا وَأُصَلِّي قَبْلَ أَنْ أَطُوفَ أَوْ أَطُوفُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ وَأَحْلِقُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَذْبَحَ أَوْ أَذْبَحُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَحْلِقَ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «خُذْ ذَاكَ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ يُحْفَظَ» قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ} [البقرة 158] «فَالصَّفَا قَبْلَ الْمَرْوَةِ» وَقَالَ {لَا تَحْلِقُوا رُءُوسَكُمْ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْهَدْيُ مَحِلَّهُ} «فَالذَّبْحُ قَبْلَ الْحَلْقِ» وَقَالَ {طَهِّرَا بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَالْعَاكِفِينَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ} [البقرة 125] «فَالطَّوَافُ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ»

     ✧ A man came to him and said: Should I begin with al-Safa before al-Marwah, or begin with al-Marwah before al-Safa? And should I pray before I circumambulate, or circumambulate before I pray? And should I shave before I slaughter, or slaughter before I shave? Ibn Abbas said: Take that from the Book of Allah, for it is more deserving of being preserved. Allah Almighty said: {Indeed, al-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah} [al-Baqarah 158], so al-Safa is before al-Marwah. And He said: {Do not shave your heads until the offering reaches its place of sacrifice}, so slaughter is before shaving. And He said: {Purify My House for those who circumambulate, those who stay in retreat, and those who bow and prostrate} [al-Baqarah 125], so circumambulation is before prayer.

168. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 3072Sahih

     أَنَّهُ كَانَ رَآهُمْ يَطُوفُونَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ قَالَ «هَذَا مِمَّا أَوْرَثَتْكُمْ أُمُّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ»

     ✧ He saw them circumambulating between al-Safa and al-Marwah and said: This is from what your mother Ishmael bequeathed to you.

169. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 3073Sahih

     فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ} [البقرة 158] قَالَ كَانَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ تَعْزِفُ اللَّيْلَ أَجْمَعَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَكَانَتْ فِيهَا آلِهَةٌ لَهُمْ أَصْنَامٌ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ الْإِسْلَامُ قَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَا نَطُوفُ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَإِنَّهُ شَيْءٌ كُنَّا نَصْنَعُهُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا} [البقرة 158] يَقُولُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ إِثْمٌ وَلَكِنْ لَهُ أَجْرٌ

     ✧ In the pre-Islamic era, the devils used to play music all night long between Safa and Marwa. They had idols, which they worshipped. When Islam came, the Muslims said to the Prophet Muhammad, "O Messenger of Allah, we will no longer perform the rite of Sa'y (walking) between Safa and Marwa, as it is something we used to do in the pre-Islamic era." Then Allah revealed the verse, "Indeed, as for those who perform Hajj to the Ka'bah or 'umrah, there is no blame upon them for walking between them" (Quran 2:158). This means that there is no sin upon them, but they will be rewarded.

     ✧ Were it not for a verse in the Book of Allah, I would not have informed anyone of anything. It was said: What is it, O Abu Hurayrah? He said: The verse: {Indeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear proofs and guidance after We made it clear to the people in the Book – those are cursed by Allah and cursed by those who curse, except those who repent, correct themselves, and make clear}.

     ✧ Do not curse the wind, for it is from the breath of the Most Merciful. His saying, exalted is He: {and the directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and the earth} [al-Baqarah 164]. But say: O Allah, we ask You for the good of this wind and the good of what is in it and the good of what it was sent with, and we seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil of what is in it and the evil of what it was sent with.

     ✧ As for the rulings of fasting: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madinah and began fasting three days of every month and the day of ʿĀshūrāʾ. Then Allah made fasting obligatory upon him, and Allah revealed, “O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you” [al-Baqarah 183] up to this verse, “And upon those who can afford it, a ransom of feeding a poor person” [al-Baqarah 184]. So whoever wished fasted, and whoever wished fed a poor person, and that sufficed for him. Then Allah revealed the other verse, “The month of Ramadan in which the Qur’an was sent down” [al-Baqarah 185] up to His saying, “So whoever of you witnesses the month, let him fast it” [al-Baqarah 185]. Thus Allah made fasting binding upon the resident healthy person, and granted a concession in it for the sick and the traveler, and the feeding remained established for the elderly person who is unable to fast. These are two states. They used to eat, drink, and go to women as long as they had not slept; but when they slept, they abstained. Then a man of the Anṣār called Ṣirmah was working while fasting until evening came. He went to his family, prayed the ʿIshāʾ, then slept and did not eat or drink until morning, so he woke up fasting. He exerted himself and slept, and woke up fasting. ʿUmar had had relations with women, with a slave-girl or a free woman, after he had slept, so he came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him. Then Allah revealed, “It has been made lawful for you, on the night of the fast, to go to your wives” [al-Baqarah 187] up to His saying, “Then complete the fast until nightfall” [al-Baqarah 187].

When Allah made His religion mighty and its supporters numerous, we said to one another secretly from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, ‘Our wealth has been lost. If only we could stay with it and put it right.’ Then Allah turned back upon us what we had intended.” He said: “Then Allah ﷻ revealed, ‘And spend in the way of Allah, and do not throw yourselves into destruction by your own hands’ [al-Baqarah 195]. The destruction was in staying with our wealth that we had intended. We were commanded to go on military expeditions.” Abū Ayyūb continued to fight in the way of Allah until Allah ﷻ took him.

Ibn Abbas said to himself, "I have some knowledge about it, O commander of the faithful." Umar said, "Say, 'O son of my brother, do not belittle yourself.'" Ibn Abbas gave an example of a certain action and Umar asked, "What kind of action?"

     ✧ The Prophet ﷺ ordered the Zakat al-Fitr to be given in the form of a saa' of dates. A man came with inferior quality dates, so the Prophet ﷺ said to Abdullah ibn Rawaha, "Do not give these dates as zakat." Then the Quran was revealed: "O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth. And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that] while you would not take it [yourself] except with closed eyes" (Al-Baqarah 267).

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded that charity be given. A man came with some of this saḥl—Sufyān said: meaning the bad dates—and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Who brought this?” And no one would bring anything except that it would be attributed to the one who brought it. Then the verse was revealed: {And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that] while you would not take it [yourself] except with closed eyes} [Al-Baqarah 267]. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade two types of dates from being taken as charity: the Juʿrūr and the color of Ḥubayq. Al-Zuhrī said: “The two types from the dates of Madinah.” Sulaymān b. Kathīr concurred with him on the authority of al-Zuhrī.

     ✧ He forbade two types of dates: the Juʿrūr and the color of Ḥubayq. He said: “People used to aim for the worst of their fruits and bring them out as charity, so they were forbidden from two types of dates, and the verse was revealed: {And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that]}.”

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out with a staff in his hand. There were clusters of dates hanging in the mosque, one of which contained bad dates. He poked that cluster and said, “What harm would it do the owner of this if he were to give in charity something better than this? Indeed, the owner of this will eat bad dates on the Day of Resurrection.” Then he said, “By Allah, he will leave it debased for forty years for the ʿawāfī.” Then he said, “Do you know what the ʿawāfī are?” They said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said, “Birds and beasts of prey.”

     ✧ It was revealed concerning the Anṣār. When the date palms were harvested, the Anṣār would bring out from their gardens clusters of unripe dates and hang them at the top of two pillars in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the poor among the Muhājirūn would eat from them. One of them would deliberately insert a cluster of bad dates, thinking that it was permissible amid the abundance of clusters that were placed. So it was revealed concerning those who did that: {And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that] while you would not take it [yourself] except with closed eyes} [Al-Baqarah 267]. He says: If it were gifted to you, you would not accept it except with embarrassment toward its owner, out of annoyance that he sent you what he had no need for. {And know that Allah is Free of need} [Al-Baqarah 267] of your charities, {and Praiseworthy} [Al-Baqarah 267].

     ✧ When this verse was revealed: {If you disclose what is in your souls or conceal it, Allah will bring you to account for it} [Al-Baqarah 284], it weighed heavily upon them as nothing similar had before. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them, “Say: We hear and we obey.” So Allah cast faith into their hearts, and they said: We hear and we obey. Then Allah ﷻ revealed: {Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. It will have what it earned and upon it what it incurred} [Al-Baqarah 286] until His saying: {or we erred} [Al-Baqarah 286].

Then above that are eight mountain goats, between their knees and hooves is like what is between the heaven and the earth, and Allah, exalted is He, is above that; nothing of the deeds of the children of Adam is hidden from Him.”

     regarding Allah's statement, "They kill the prophets unjustly and they kill those who enjoin justice among people" [Āl ʿImrān 3:21]. He said, ʿĪsá (Jesus), the son of Mary was sent with twelve men from the disciples who taught people. He used to ˹teach them to˺ prohibit them from marrying their nieces. There was a king (Herod Antipas) who had a niece ˹named Herodias˺ who was taken by him so he desired her. He used to fulfill her needs every day. ˹Herodias'˺ mother said to her, "If he asks you about your need, tell him to kill Yaḥyá (John), the son of Zakariyyah (Zachariah)." King ˹Herod˺ asked her, "˹What is˺ your need?" She replied, "My need is for Yaḥyá, the son of Zakariyyah, to be killed." The king said, "Ask for something else." She said, "I ask for nothing else." When ˹Yaḥyá ˺ came, he gave the order, and he was beheaded on a tray. A drop of his blood continued to boil until Allah sent Bukhtanaṣṣar (Nebuchadnezzar). An old man directed him ˹to the boiling blood˺, and it entered his mind that the killing should not stop until this blood settles down. So he killed seventy thousand people in one day in one stroke, and in one house.

     أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ} [آل عمران 102] قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَنَّ قَطْرَةً مِنَ الزَّقُّومِ قُطِرَتْ فِي بِحَارِ الْأَرْضِ لَفَسَدَتْ» وَفِي حَدِيثِ وَهْبِ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ «لَأَمَرَّتْ عَلَى أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا مَعَايِشَهُمْ فَكَيْفَ بِمَنْ تَكُونُ طَعَامَهُ؟»

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited this verse: 'O you who believe, fear Allah as He should be feared, and do not die except as Muslims' (Al Imran 102), then said: 'By the One in whose hand is my soul, if a single drop of zaqqūm were to fall into the seas of the earth, it would corrupt them.'

     ✧ Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq entered the mosque while ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb was addressing the people. He went to the room in which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had died, uncovered his face from the striped Yemeni cloak with which he was shrouded, looked at him, leaned over to kiss his face, and said: 'By Allah, Allah will not cause you to die twice after this death of yours, after which you will never die.' Then he went out to the mosque while ʿUmar was speaking to the people. Abū Bakr said: 'Sit down, O ʿUmar.' He refused. He spoke to him twice or three times, but he refused. Then he stood up and recited the testimony of faith. When he finished, he said: 'Now then, whoever worshipped Muḥammad, Muhammad ﷺ has died; and whoever worshipped Allah, Allah is ever-living and never dies.' Then he recited: 'And We did not grant immortality to any human before you' (Al-Anbiyāʾ 34), and 'Muḥammad is but a messenger; messengers have passed away before him' (Āl ʿImrān 144), and he recited up to 'the grateful.' No sooner had he recited it than the people became certain of the death of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so much so that someone said: 'The people did not know that this verse had been revealed until Abū Bakr recited it.' Al-Zuhrī said: Saʿīd b. al-Musayyib informed me that ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb said: 'When Abū Bakr recited it, I was stunned and fell to the ground, and I became certain that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had died.'

     ✧ He said: 'The Prophet ﷺ was not given victory in any battle as he was given on the day of Uḥud.' We objected to that, so Ibn ʿAbbās said: 'Between me and whoever disputes this is the Book of Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty says concerning the day of Uḥud: "And Allah certainly fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing them by His permission" (Āl ʿImrān 152). Ibn ʿAbbās said: 'Al-ḥiss means killing.' "Until you lost courage and disputed about the command and disobeyed after He had shown you what you love. Among you are some who desire this world and among you are some who desire the Hereafter. Then He turned you away from them to test you, and He has pardoned you, and Allah is the possessor of bounty for the believers" (Āl ʿImrān 152). He meant the archers by this. The Prophet ﷺ had stationed them in a position and said: "Protect our rear. If you see us being killed, do not come to help us; and if you see us taking spoils, do not share with us." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his Companions gained spoils and overran the camp of the polytheists, all the archers left their position and entered the camp to take booty. The ranks of the Prophet's Companions had engaged, and they were like this—and he interlaced his fingers—and they became entangled. When the archers abandoned that gap where they had been, the cavalry entered from that spot upon the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, and they struck one another, became entangled, and many Muslims were killed. At the beginning of the day, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his Companions had the upper hand, until seven or nine of the banner-bearers of the polytheists were killed. The Muslims fell back toward the mountain, but they did not reach what people call al-Ghābah; rather, it was below al-Mihrās. Satan shouted: "Muḥammad has been killed!" They did not doubt that it was true. We remained in that state, not doubting that he had been killed, until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appeared between the two Saʿds. We recognized him by his swaying gait when he walked. We rejoiced as if nothing had afflicted us. He climbed toward us, saying: "Allah's anger is severe against a people who bloodied the face of their Prophet." And another time he said: "O Allah, it is not for them to prevail over us," until he reached us. He stayed a while, then Abū Sufyān shouted from the foot of the mountain: "Exalted be Hubal! Exalted be Hubal!"—meaning his deity. "Where is Ibn Abī Kabshah? Where is Ibn Abī Quḥāfah? Where is Ibn al-Khaṭṭāb?" ʿUmar said: "O Messenger of Allah, shall I answer him?" He said: "Yes." When he said "Exalted be Hubal," ʿUmar said: "Allah is most high and most mighty." Abū Sufyān said: "O Ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, this is a day of silence." He repeated: "Where is Ibn Abī Kabshah? Where is Ibn Abī Quḥāfah? Where is Ibn al-Khaṭṭāb?" ʿUmar said: "This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, this is Abū Bakr, and here I am, ʿUmar." Abū Sufyān said: "A day for the day of Badr; days alternate, and war is a back-and-forth." ʿUmar said: "Not equal! Our dead are in Paradise, and your dead are in the Fire." He said: "You claim that; then we have been disappointed and lost." Then Abū Sufyān said: "You will find mutilation among your dead, and that was not by the counsel of our chiefs." Then the zeal of the Age of Ignorance overtook him, and he said: "As for that, if it happened, we did not dislike it."

When they found the goodness of their food, drink, and resting place, they said: Who will convey to our brothers about us that we are alive in Paradise, being provided for, so that they will not renounce jihad or hold back in war? Allah, Exalted is He, said: I will convey it to them on your behalf. So Allah, Exalted is He, sent down: {And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah} [Al Imran 169]—the verse.

Then they came to him and he asked them, and they informed him of something other than that. Then they went out, thinking that they had informed him of what he asked them about, and they sought praise for that and rejoiced in what they were given of concealing from him what he asked them about.

As a result, some of his food and drink would remain and be kept until he ate it or it spoiled. That became difficult for them, so they mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

So they mixed their food with their food and their drink with their drink.

     "To those also, to whom your right hand was pledged, give your portion." When the Emigrants came to Medina. they inherited from the Helpers without any blood-relationship with them for the brotherhood which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ established between them. When the following verse was revealed: "To (benefit) everyone we have appointed shares and heirs to property left by parent and relatives." it abrogated the verse: "To those also, to whom your right hand was pledged, give their due portion." This alliance was made for help, well wishing and cooperation. Now a legacy can be made for him. (The right to)inheritance was abolished. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2922)

     ✧ Allah brought a servant from among His servants to whom He had given wealth, and said to him: 'What did you do in the world?' He said — {and they will not conceal from Allah any account} [al-Nisa': 42] — 'I did nothing, O Lord, except that You gave me wealth and I used to trade with people, and it was my nature to be lenient with the one who could pay and to give respite to the one in difficulty.'

     ✧ About this verse: {By Allah, our Lord, we were not associators} [al-An'am: 23], and He said in another verse: {and they will not conceal from Allah any account} [al-Nisa': 42]. Ibn Abbas said: 'As for His saying {By Allah, our Lord, we were not associators} [al-An'am: 23], when they saw on the Day of Resurrection that none would enter Paradise except the people of Islam, they said: "Come, let us deny." Then Allah sealed their mouths, and their hands and feet spoke, {and they will not conceal from Allah any account} [al-Nisa': 42].'

     ✧ Abd al-Rahman b. Awf and some companions of his came to the Prophet ﷺ in Makkah and said: 'O Prophet of Allah, we were in honor while we were associators, but when we believed we became humiliated.' He said: 'I have been commanded to pardon, so do not fight; restrain yourselves.' Then Allah Almighty revealed: {Have you not seen those who were told, "Restrain your hands and establish prayer and give zakah"? Then when fighting was prescribed for them, at once a party of them feared people} [al-Nisa': 77].

297. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 3201Sahih

     فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {فَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ عَدُوٍّ لَكُمْ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُؤْمِنَةٍ} [النساء 92] قَالَ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَأْتِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَيُسْلِمُ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَيَكُونُ فِيهِمْ مُشْرِكُونَ فَيُصِيبُهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ خَطَأً فِي سَرِيَّةٍ أَوْ غَزَاةٍ فَيُعْتِقُ الرَّجُلُ رَقَبَةً {وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ مِيثَاقٌ فِدْيَةٌ مُسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ وَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُؤْمِنَةٍ} [النساء 92] قَالَ يَكُونُ الرَّجُلُ مُعَاهَدًا وَقَوْمُهُ أَهْلُ عَهْدٍ فَيُسْلِمْ إِلَيْهِمْ دِيَتَهُ وَيَعْتِقُ الَّذِي أَصَابَهُ رَقَبَةً

     ✧ The man used to come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and greet him, then he would return to his people who were polytheists. If the Muslims made a mistake in a secret mission or in a battle, the man would set a slave free as an atonement. If the man had a contract with a group between themselves, he would pay the blood money to them and set free the slave who was taken as a captive. (Surah An-Nisa 92) The Prophet ﷺ said: "The man should fulfill his covenant and his people should fulfill theirs, and he should set free the captive slave who has been taken by his people."

     ✧ I traveled to A'ishah about this verse: {It is not by your wishes or the wishes of the People of the Book; whoever does evil will be recompensed for it} [al-Nisa': 123]. She said: 'It is what afflicts you in this world,' according to the conditions of al-Bukhari and Muslim.

     ✧ He had a wife older than him, and he married a young woman in addition to her, and he preferred the virgin over her. His first wife refused to be content with that, so he divorced her with one divorce. Then when only a little of her waiting period remained, he said: 'If you wish, I will take you back and you will be patient with being less preferred; if you wish, I will leave you until your waiting period ends.' She said: 'Rather take me back; I will be patient with being less preferred.' He took her back, then again preferred the other over her, and she did not remain patient with being less preferred. Then he divorced the other one and preferred the young woman over her. That is the reconciliation about which it has reached us that Allah revealed: {And if a woman fears from her husband contempt or evasion, there is no sin upon them if they make terms of settlement between them}.

302. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 3206Sahih

     ✧ I was with Ali b. Abi Talib when a man said, "O Commander of the Faithful, what do you think of the words of Allah, Exalted is He: {Allah will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection, and Allah will never grant the disbelievers a way over the believers} [An-Nisa: 141], while they fight them and prevail and kill?"

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to set out for the land of the Negus. This reached Quraysh, so they sent Amr b. al-As and Umarah b. al-Walid, and they gathered gifts for the Negus. We arrived, and they arrived at the Negus. They brought him a gift, and he accepted it, and they prostrated to him. Then Amr b. al-As said, "A people from among us have turned away from our religion, and they are in your land." The Negus said to them, "In my land?" He said, "Yes." So he sent for us. Ja'far said to us, "Let none of you speak; I am your spokesman today." We came to the Negus while he was seated in his assembly, with Amr b. al-As on his right and Umarah on his left, and the priests and monks were seated in two rows. Amr and Umarah said to him, "They do not prostrate to you." When we reached him, the priests and monks who were with him shouted at us, "Prostrate to the king!" Ja'far said, "We prostrate only to Allah." The Negus said to him, "And what is that?" He said, "Allah sent among us His Messenger, and he is the Messenger whose coming Jesus announced, a Messenger who would come after him, whose name is Ahmad. He commanded us to worship Allah and not associate anything with Him, to establish prayer, to give zakat, and he commanded us to do good and forbade us from evil." He said, "The people were impressed by his words. When Amr saw that, he said to him, 'May Allah preserve the king, they disagree with you about Jesus son of Mary.' The Negus said to Ja'far, 'What does your companion say about the son of Mary?' He said, 'He says about him the word of Allah: he is the Spirit of Allah and His Word, which He brought forth from the chaste virgin, whom no human being touched.' He said, 'The Negus picked up a stick from the ground and raised it, saying, "O assembly of priests and monks, what these people say about the son of Mary does not exceed what you say by the weight of this.

     لَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا مَالَ الْيَتِيمِ إِلَّا بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ} [الأنعام 152] {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ أَمْوَالَ الْيَتَامَى ظُلْمًا إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُونَ فِي بُطُونِهِمْ نَارًا وَسَيَصْلَوْنَ سَعِيرًا} [النساء 10] انْطَلَقَ مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ يَتِيمٌ فَعَزَلَ طَعَامَهُ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ وَشَرَابَهُ مِنْ شَرَابِهِ فَجَعَلَ يَفْضُلُ الشَّيْءُ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ فَيُحْبَسُ لَهُ حَتَّى يَأْكُلَهُ أَوْ يَفْسَدَ فَاشْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْيَتَامَى قُلْ إِصْلَاحٌ لَهُمْ خَيْرٌ وَإِنْ تُخَالِطُوهُمْ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ} [البقرة 220] فَخَلَطُوا طَعَامَهُمْ بِطَعَامِهِمْ وَشَرَابَهُمْ بِشَرَابِهِمْ

Then if something was left over from the orphan's food, it was kept for him until he ate it or it spoiled. That became difficult for them, so they mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then Allah ﷻ revealed {They ask you about orphans. Say, 'Improvement for them is best. And if you mix with them, they are your brothers'} [Al-Baqarah 220]. So they mixed their food with their food and their drink with their drink.

Then he recited {Say, 'Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited to you'} [Al-An'am 151] until he finished the three verses. Whoever fulfills them, his reward is with Allah. Whoever omits anything from them, Allah will catch him with it in this world, and that will be his punishment. Whoever delays it to the Hereafter, his affair is with Allah; if He wills, He will punish him, and if He wills, He will forgive him.

347. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 3251Sahih

     أَتَى هَارُونُ عَلَى السَّامِرِيِّ وَهُوَ يَصْنَعُ الْعِجْلَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا تَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ مَا يَنْفَعُ وَلَا يَضُرُّ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِهِ مَا سَأَلَكَ فِي نَفْسِهِ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ يَخُورَ فَخَارَ وَكَانَ إِذَا سَجَدَ خَارَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ خَارَ وَذَلِكَ بِدَعْوَةِ هَارُونَ»

     ✧ Harun came upon al-Samiri while he was making the calf and said to him, "What are you making?" He said, "Something that neither benefits nor harms." Harun said, "O Allah, give him what he asked for in his heart." When he left, he said, "O Allah, I ask You to make it low." So it lowed. Whenever it prostrated, it lowed, and whenever it raised its head, it lowed. That was due to Harun's supplication.

348. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 3252Sahih

     أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ الْعِجْلِ قَالُوا هطا سقماثا أزبه مزبا وَهِيَ بِالْعَرَبِيَّةِ حِنْطَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ قَوِيَّةٌ فِيهَا شَعْرَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ ﷻ {فَبَدَّلَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا قَوْلًا غَيْرَ الَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمْ} [البقرة 59] فَلَمَّا أَبَوْا أَنْ يَسْجُدُوا قَالَ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ الْجَبَلَ أَنْ يَقَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَنَظَرُوا إِلَيْهِ قَدْ غَشِيَهُمْ فَسَقَطُوا سُجَّدًا عَلَى شِقٍّ وَنَظَرُوا بِالشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ فَرَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ فَكَشَفَهُ عَنْهُمْ فَقَالُوا مَا سَجْدَةٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى مِنْ سَجْدَةٍ كَشَفَ بِهَا الْعَذَابَ عَنْكُمْ فَهُمْ يَسْجُدُونَ لِذَلِكَ عَلَى شِقٍّ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ ﷻ {وَإِذْ نَتَقْنَا الْجَبَلَ فَوْقَهُمْ كَأَنَّهُ ظُلَّةٌ} [الأعراف 171]

     ✧ He said: The companions of the calf said, 'Hitta samqatha azabba mazabba,' which in Arabic means 'red, strong wheat containing a black hair.' That is the saying of Him, Exalted is He: {Then those who did wrong changed the word to something other than what was said to them} [Al-Baqarah 59]. When they refused to prostrate, Allah commanded the mountain to fall upon them. They looked at it and saw it covering them, so they fell down prostrating on one side and looked with the other side. Then Allah had mercy on them and lifted it from them. They said, 'No prostration is more beloved to Allah, Exalted is He, than the prostration by which He averted punishment from you.' So they prostrate on one side for that reason. That is the saying of Him, Exalted is He: {And when We raised the mountain above them as if it were a canopy} [Al-A'raf 171].

     ✧ "Do you know Aylah?" I said, "What is Aylah?" He said, "A village where some Jews lived. Allah forbade them fish on the Sabbath. Their fish used to come to them on their Sabbath, appearing at the surface—white, fat, like pregnant camels—near their courtyards and buildings. On other than the Sabbath, they could not find them or catch them except with hardship and great effort. Some of them said to others, or whoever among them said it: 'Perhaps if we caught them on the Sabbath and ate them on another day...' A household among them did that. They caught fish and grilled them. Their neighbors smelled the aroma of grilling and said, 'By Allah, we do not think the people of Banu So-and-so are doing anything.' Then others caught them, until the practice spread among them and became widespread. They split into three groups: a group that ate, a group that forbade, and a group that said: {Why do you admonish a people whom Allah will destroy or punish with a severe punishment?} [Al-A'raf 164]. The group that forbade said: 'We warn you of Allah's anger and His punishment—that He may strike you with a sinking of the earth, a pelting from the sky, or some of the punishment He has. By Allah, we will not stay overnight in a place where you are.' They left the walled town. The next morning, they went to the gate of the town and knocked, but no one answered. They brought a ladder, leaned it against the wall, and one of them climbed up. He said, 'O servants of Allah! Monkeys, by Allah, with tails, howling!' He said it three times, then descended from the wall and opened the gate. The people entered upon them. The monkeys recognized their human relatives, but the humans did not recognize their monkey relatives. A monkey would come to its human relative or kinsman, rub against him, and cling to him. The human would say, 'Are you So-and-so?' The monkey would nod its head, meaning yes, and weep. A female monkey would come to her human relative or kinswoman, and the human would say, 'Are you So-and-so?' She would nod her head, meaning yes, and weep. Then the humans said to them, 'We warned you of Allah's anger and His punishment—that He may strike you with a sinking of the earth, a metamorphosis, or some of the punishment He has.'" Ibn Abbas said: "Listen to what Allah says: 'We saved those who forbade evil and seized those who did wrong with a dreadful punishment because they were defiantly disobeying.' I do not know what happened to the third group." Ibn Abbas said: "How many evil deeds have we seen and not forbidden?" Ikrimah said: I said, "What do you think, may Allah make me your ransom? They did disapprove and dislike it when they said: 'Why do you admonish a people whom Allah will destroy or punish with a severe punishment?'" My words pleased him, and he ordered two thick cloaks for me and clothed me with them.

     ✧ He gathered them all that day, and it was nothing but existence until the Day of Resurrection. Then He made them souls, then formed them and gave them the power of speech. And He took from them the covenant and the pledge, and He made them testify upon themselves, "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we testify." [This] lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were unaware of this." Or [lest] you say, "It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?" [Allah] said, "I swear by Myself, and I bear witness on you all the heavens and the earths, and I bear witness upon your father Adam, 'Am I not your Lord?' They said, 'Yes, we testify.' [This] lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, 'Indeed, we were unaware of this.' Or lest you should say, 'It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?' He said, "Indeed, I bear witness over all of you that I am free from whatever you associate with Me. Indeed, the Messengers will come to you with My reminders and My covenant, and they will present My Books to you." They said, "We bear witness that You are our Lord and our God. You have no Lord besides You, and we have no god besides You." And their father Adam raised them, so He looked at them, and He saw richness and poverty, beauty and otherwise. He said, "My Lord, if You had balanced Your servants." He said, "I love to return the gratitude." And among them were seen prophets like bright lamps. They were given a separate covenant in regards to Prophet-hood and Messengership. This is the saying of Allah, the Exalted, "[And mention] when We took from the prophets their covenant and from you and from Noah." (33:7) And His saying, "So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah." (30:30) And His saying, "This is a warner of the warners of old." (53:56) And His saying, "And We had not found for most of them any covenant, but indeed, We found most of them defiantly disobedient." (7:102) And His saying, "Then We sent following their footsteps Our messengers and followed [them] with Jesus, the son of Mary, and gave him the Gospel. And We placed in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy and monasticism, which they innovated; We did not prescribe it for them except that they did so seeking the approval of Allah." So they did not observe it with due observance. (57:27) He knew in His knowledge those who would deny what He would affirm and those who would affirm what He would deny. So the soul of 'Isa was among those souls to which the covenant was taken in the time of Adam. And that soul was then sent to Maryam when He said, "Settle in a place of worship wherein the sun does not rise, and you take a veil from them." So We sent to her Our soul, and it manifested to her in the form of a well-built man. (19:17) Until His saying, "A determined appointment." (19:21) She conceived. He, who spoke to her, was the soul of 'Isa, peace be upon him. Abu Ja'far narrated to me that Ar-Rabi' bin Anas narrated to him from Abu Al-'Aliyah from Ubayy bin Ka'b who said, "He entered it."

They said, "Yes, we testify." Lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were unaware of this."} [Al-A'raf 172]. Umar b. al-Khattab said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he was asked about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Allah created Adam, then wiped his back with His right hand and extracted from it his descendants. He said, "I created these for Paradise, and they will act with the deeds of the people of Paradise." Then He wiped his back again and extracted from it descendants. He said, "I created these for the Fire, and they will act with the deeds of the people of the Fire."' A man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, then what is the point of action?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'When Allah creates a man for Paradise, He makes him act with the deeds of the people of Paradise.'"

     ✧ When Allah created Adam, He wiped his back, and every soul He would create until the Day of Resurrection fell from his back like tiny ants. Then He placed between the eyes of each human among them a glint of light. Then He presented them to Adam. Adam said, 'Who are these, O Lord?' He said, 'These are your descendants.' Adam saw a man among them whose glint between his eyes pleased him and said, 'O Lord, who is this?' He said, 'This is your son Dawud, who will be in the last of the nations.' Adam said, 'How much lifespan have You assigned to him?' He said, 'Sixty years.' Adam said, 'O Lord, add to him forty years from my lifespan, so that his lifespan will be one hundred years.' Allah, Exalted is He, said, 'Then it will be written and sealed, and it will not be changed.' When Adam's lifespan came to an end, the Angel of Death came to take his soul. Adam said, 'Do I not have forty years remaining of my lifespan?' The Angel of Death said, 'Did you not give them to your son Dawud?' He said: So he denied, and his descendants denied; he forgot, and his descendants forgot; he erred, and his descendants erred.

     ✧ I asked him about the spoils (al-anfal). He said: "It was revealed concerning us on the day of Badr. The people were in three positions: one third fighting the enemy, one third gathering the goods and taking captives, and one third by the tent guarding the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When they gathered the goods, they disputed about them. Those who gathered and took them said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ granted each of us what he acquired; it is ours, not yours.' Those fighting the enemy and pursuing them said, 'By Allah, had it not been for us, you would not have obtained it. We occupied the enemy.' The guards said, 'By Allah, you are not more entitled to it than we are. We saw the chance to fight the enemy when Allah delivered their backs to us—to take the goods when no one could prevent it—but we feared the enemy's raid on the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so we stood in front of him.'" He said: "So Allah took it out of our hands and gave it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who divided it equally. There was no one-fifth (khums) on that day. In it was fear of Allah, obedience to Him, obedience to His Messenger ﷺ, and reconciliation of hearts."

     «مَنْ فَعَلَ كَذَا وَكَذَا أَوْ أَتَى مَكَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا» فَتَسَارَعَ الشُّبَّانُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ وَثَبَتَ الشُّيُوخُ تَحْتَ الرَّايَاتِ فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ جَاءَ الشُّبَّانُ يَطْلُبُونَ مَا جُعِلَ لَهُمْ وَقَالَ الشُّيُوخُ إِنَّا كُنَّا رِدْأً لَكُمْ وَكُنَّا تَحْتَ الرَّايَاتِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْأَنْفَالِ قُلِ الْأَنْفَالُ لِلَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَصْلِحُوا ذَاتَ بَيْنِكُمْ}

     ✧ "Whoever does such and such, or comes to such and such a place, will have such and such." The young men rushed to that, while the elders remained steadfast under the banners. When Allah granted them victory, the young men came seeking what was assigned to them. The elders said, "We were your support and we stayed under the banners." Then Allah, Exalted is He, revealed: {They ask you about the spoils of war. Say, "The spoils are for Allah and the Messenger."} So fear Allah and amend what is between you.

     ✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished with the slain, it was said to him, "You should go after the caravan; there is nothing to stop you from it." Al-Abbas called out to him while he was in his bonds: "It is not right for you." He said, "Why?" He said, "Because Allah promised you one of the two parties, and He has fulfilled what He promised you."

     ✧ Ubayy b. Khalaf came on the day of Uhud toward the Prophet ﷺ, intending to attack him. Men among the believers intercepted him, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered them to clear his way. Then Mus'ab b. Umayr, the brother of Banu Abd al-Dar, confronted him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw Ubayy's collarbone through a gap between the long coat of mail and the helmet, so he thrust him with his spear. Ubayy fell from his horse, and no blood came from his wound; it broke one of his ribs. His companions came to him while he was bellowing like a bull. They said to him, "What ails you? It is only a scratch." He mentioned to them the saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: "Rather, I will kill Ubayy." Then he said, "By Him in whose hand is my soul, if what I have were inflicted on the people of Dhu al-Majaz, they would all die." Ubayy died, heading to the Fire—so away with the companions of the Blaze—before reaching Makkah. Then Allah revealed: {You did not throw when you threw, but Allah threw} [Al-Anfal 17], the verse.

     ✧ Abu Jahl was the one who sought judgment. For when the two parties met, he said: 'O Allah, whichever of us was more severing of kinship and brought us what we do not know, then destroy him this morning.' That was his seeking of judgment. Then Allah revealed: {If you seek judgment, then judgment has come to you} [Al-Anfal 19] up to His saying {and that Allah is with the believers} [Al-Anfal 19].

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gathered Quraysh and said: 'Is there anyone among you other than yourselves?' They said: 'Among us is our sister's son, among us is our ally, and among us is our freed slave.' He said: 'Our ally is from us, our sister's son is from us, and our freed slave is from us. Indeed, my guardians among you are the pious.'

     ✧ Indeed, kinship ties are severed, blessings are denied, and when Allah brings hearts together, nothing can separate them. Then he recited: {Even if you spent all that is on earth, you could not have brought their hearts together}.

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ consulted Abu Bakr concerning the captives. He said: 'They are your people and your kin, so release them.' Then he consulted Umar, who said: 'Kill them.' He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ransomed them. Then Allah, may He be glorified, revealed: {It is not for a prophet to have captives until he has made a great slaughter in the land} [Al-Anfal 67] up to His saying {so eat of what you have taken as spoil, lawful and good} [Al-Anfal 69].

I hope that it was a mercy from Allah that preceded for us.' Then some of them said: 'By Allah, he used to hate you and call you Al-Akhnas.' Sa'd laughed until he was overcome by laughter, then said: 'Does not a man find fault with his brother in a matter between them, yet that does not reach his trustworthiness?'

Affan: 'What prompted you to take Al-Anfal, which is among the Mathani, and Bara'ah, which is among the Mi'in, and join them together without writing Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim, and place them among the seven long surahs? What prompted you to do that?' Uthman said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to have periods when surahs of multiple verses were revealed to him. When something was revealed, he would call one of his scribes and say: "Place these in the surah that contains such and such." Al-Anfal was among the first to be revealed in Madinah, and Bara'ah was among the last of the Quran, and its story was similar to its story, so I thought it was part of it. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away without clarifying to us that it was part of it, so I did not write Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim between them.'

     ✧ Whoever departs this world upon sincerity to Allah alone, with no partner, and upon establishing prayer and giving zakat, departs it while Allah is pleased with him. That is the religion of Allah with which the messengers came and which they conveyed from their Lord before the confusion of reports and the divergence of desires. Its confirmation is in the Book of Allah: “If they repent, establish prayer, and give zakat, then let them go their way” [At-Tawbah: 5]. And His ﷻ saying “If they repent” means they cast off idols and their worship, “and establish prayer and give zakat, then they are your brothers in religion.”

     ✧ When the verse “Those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend them in the way of Allah” [At-Tawbah: 34] was revealed, it weighed heavily on the Muslims. They said, “None of us can leave wealth for his child to remain after him.” Umar said, “I will relieve you.” So they went, and Umar went, and Thawban followed him. They came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Umar said, “O Prophet of Allah, this verse has weighed heavily on your companions.” The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, “Allah did not make zakat obligatory except to purify what remains of your wealth through it, and He made inheritance obligatory only in wealth that remains after you.” Umar then said takbir, and the Prophet ﷺ said to him, “Shall I not tell you of the best thing a man hoards? It is a righteous woman: when he looks at her she pleases him, when he commands her she obeys him, and when he is absent she protects [his honor].”

     ✧ When Abu Talib was near death, the Prophet ﷺ came to him while ‘Abd Allah b. Abi Umayyah and Abu Jahl b. Hisham were with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, “O uncle, you have the greatest right upon me and the best hand with me; indeed your right is greater upon me than that of my father. So say a word by which intercession will become binding for me for you on the Day of Resurrection: say, ‘There is no god but Allah.’” The two of them said to him, “Will you turn away from the religion of ‘Abd al-Muttalib?” He fell silent, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ repeated it to him. He said, “I follow the religion of ‘Abd al-Muttalib,” and died. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, “I will surely seek forgiveness for you as long as I am not forbidden from it.” Then Allah ﷻ revealed: {It is not for the Prophet and those who believe to ask forgiveness for the polytheists} [At-Tawbah: 113] and the verse {And Ibrahim’s asking forgiveness for his father} [At-Tawbah: 114] to the end of the verse.

Then he came to us, and ‘Umar b. al-Khattab met him and said, “O Messenger of Allah, what made you weep? You have made us weep and alarmed us.” He came and sat with us and said, “Did my weeping alarm you?” We said, “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “The grave at which you saw me confiding is the grave of my mother Aminah bt. Wahb. I asked my Lord for permission to visit her, and He permitted me, then I asked Him for permission to seek forgiveness for her, but He did not permit me, and there came down to me: {It is not for the Prophet and those who believe to ask forgiveness for the polytheists} [At-Tawbah: 113] until the end of the verse, and {And Ibrahim’s asking forgiveness for his father was only because of a promise he had made to him} [At-Tawbah: 114]. There seized me what seizes a child for his parent of tenderness, and that is what made me weep.” It is authentic according to the conditions of the two shaykhs, but they did not include it in this wording.

He said, “I will never stay behind after you, O Messenger of Allah.” Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called me and adjured me to stay behind before I could speak. I wept, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “What makes you weep, O ‘Ali?” I said, “O Messenger of Allah, more than one thing makes me weep: Tomorrow Quraysh will say, ‘How quickly he stayed behind from his cousin and abandoned him.’ And another thing that makes me weep is that I wanted to expose myself to jihad in the path of Allah, for Allah says {Nor do they tread any ground that enrages the disbelievers, nor do they inflict upon an enemy any infliction} to the end of the verse; I wanted to expose myself to Allah’s bounty.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “As for your saying that Quraysh will say, ‘How quickly he stayed behind from his cousin and abandoned him,’ you have in me a model: they have said ‘sorcerer, soothsayer, liar.’ Are you not pleased to be to me as Harun was to Musa, except that there is no prophet after me? As for your saying that you wanted to expose yourself to Allah’s bounty, here are measures of pepper that came to us from Yemen; sell it and enjoy it, you and Fatimah, until Allah brings you from His bounty, for Madinah is only set right by me or by you.”

When victory was delayed from them and affliction became severe upon them, the messengers thought that their followers had been denied.”

     ✧ When {May the hands of Abu Lahab perish} [al-Masad 1] was revealed, al-'Awra' Umm Jamil bt. Harb approached, wailing, with a stone in her hand, and she was saying: Muzammam: we rejected him and his religion, we hated him and his affair, we disobeyed him. The Prophet ﷺ was sitting in the mosque, and with him was Abu Bakr. When Abu Bakr saw her, he said: O Messenger of Allah, she has approached, and I fear that she may see you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "She will never see me," and he recited Qur'an and sought protection through it, as he said, and he recited: {And when you recite the Qur'an, We placed between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter a hidden barrier} [al-Isra' 45]. She stood before Abu Bakr and did not see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: O Abu Bakr, I was informed that your companion has satirized me. He said: No, by the Lord of this House, he has not satirized you. She turned away, saying: Quraysh has known that I am the daughter of their chief.

     ✧ The two sons of Mulaykah came—they were from the Anṣār—and said, “O Messenger of Allah, our mother was protective of her husband and generous to guests, but she buried a daughter alive in the Jāhiliyyah. Where is our mother?” He said, “Your mother is in the Fire.” They rose, and that was hard on them, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called them back. They returned, and he said, “My mother is with your mother.” A hypocrite among the people said to himself, “This benefits his mother no more than the two sons of Mulaykah benefit their mother, while we tread on his heels.” A young man of the Anṣār—I never saw a man more given to questioning the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than he—said, “O Messenger of Allah, I see that your parents are in the Fire.” He said, “I asked my Lord about them, and He did not grant me anything for them. On that day I will stand at the Praiseworthy Station.” The hypocrite said to the young Anṣārī, “Ask him what the Praiseworthy Station is.” He said, “O Messenger of Allah, what is the Praiseworthy Station?” He said, “The day when Allah descends upon His Throne, and it creaks under Him as a camel saddle creaks from the strain, by the space between heaven and earth. You will be brought barefoot, naked, and uncircumcised. The first to be clothed will be Ibrāhīm. Allah ﷻ will say, ‘Clothe My friend in two white garments from the garments of Paradise.’ Then I will be clothed after him. I will stand at the right of Allah ﷻ in a position for which the first and the last will envy me. A river from al-Kawthar will be opened for me to my basin.” He said: The hypocrite said, “I have never heard anything like today. Rarely has a river flowed except in pottery or pebbles. Ask him in what the river flows.” He said, “In a basin of musk and pebbles.” The hypocrite said, “I have never heard anything like today. Rarely has a river flowed except with plants.” He said, “Yes.” He asked, “What are they?” He said, “Rods of gold.” The hypocrite said, “I have never heard anything like today. By Allah, no rod grows except with fruit. Ask him if those rods have fruits.” He said, “Yes: pearls and jewels.” The hypocrite said, “I have never heard anything like today. Ask him about the drink of the basin.” The Anṣārī said, “O Messenger of Allah, what is the drink of the basin?” He said, “Whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. Whoever Allah gives a drink from it will never thirst after it, and whoever is deprived of it will never be quenched after it.”

We walked with the people until we entered the mosque in Kufa, and we entered with him. He went to a wall and prayed two Rak'ahs, then he turned his face towards us and said, 'O people, why do you tread on my heels in every way? I am a weak person, and I have needs that I cannot fulfill with you. Do not do that, may Allah have mercy on you. Whoever has any need from me, let him tell me here.'" The man said, and it was 'Umar ibn Al-Khattab who asked a delegation that came to him, "Did someone from his family visit you, like this and like that?" The man said, "People have mentioned you, O Amir al-Muminin, and they did not mention that, as is commonly said. That is not from his mention, what I have told you. The man said, "Oways has taken a covenant and a pledge from the man not to tell anyone else about it." Then he said, "Oways said, 'This majlis (gathering) is attended by three people - a knowledgeable believer, a believer who is not knowledgeable, and a hypocrite. This is like rain that falls from the sky to the earth; it reaches the good and fruitful tree and increases its beauty, freshness, and produce. And it reaches the weak and fruitless tree, and increases its rot and makes its leaves fall. And it reaches the thorns that break and destroy them.'" Then he recited the verse, "And We send down of the Qur'an that which is healing and mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss."

This is the decree of Allah that He has decreed, healing and mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss. O Allah, grant me a martyrdom that precedes its pain and its safety precedes its fear, which gives life and sustenance. Then he became silent. The man said, "I walked with him." He asked, "My friend, how do you see the man?" I said, "I have not increased in him except a desire, and I am not one who can leave him." We remained with him, and we did not stay except for a short while until he struck the people again. The commander of the faithful, Ali, was sent, and Oways Al-Qarani was among them. We went out with him and traveled with him, and we would stay with him and descend with him until we reached the presence of the enemy."

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took me until he brought me to the Kaʿbah. He said to me, “Sit.” So I sat beside the Kaʿbah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ climbed onto my shoulder, then said, “Rise.” I rose, but when he saw my weakness beneath him, he said, “Sit.” So I descended and sat. Then he said, “O ʿAlī, climb onto my shoulder.” So I climbed onto his shoulders. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ rose with me. When he rose with me, it seemed to me that if I wished I could touch the horizon of the sky. I climbed above the Kaʿbah, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stepped aside. He said to me, “Throw down their greatest idol, the idol of Quraysh.” It was made of brass, fastened with iron pegs to the ground. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, “Work on it,” while he kept saying, “Go on! Go on! {Truth has come, and falsehood has vanished. Indeed falsehood is bound to vanish} [al-Isrāʾ 81].” I kept working on it until I got a firm hold of it. He said, “Hurl it.” I hurled it, and it shattered. I fell from the top of the Kaʿbah. The Prophet ﷺ and I ran off, fearing that someone from Quraysh or others might see us. ʿAlī said: It was never put back up until this hour.
