25. History of the Prophets and Messengers ؑ

1. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 3992Sahih

   لَمَّا صَوَّرَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ تَرَكَهُ فَجَعَلَ إِبْلِيسُ يُطِيفُ بِهِ فَيَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَجْوَفَ قَالَ ظَفِرْتُ بِهِ خَلْقٌ لَا يَتَمَالَكُ

   ✧ When Allah shaped Adam, He left him, so Iblis began to circle around him, looking at him. When he saw that he was hollow, he said, "I have gained mastery over him—a creature that cannot control itself."

2. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 3993Sahih

   «مَا سَكَنَ آدَمُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مَا بَيْنَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ»

   ✧ Adam dwelt in Paradise only for the time between the afternoon prayer and sunset.

3. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 3994Sahih

   «إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا أَهْبَطَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْهِنْدِ»

   ✧ "The first place that Allah sent Adam down to is the land of India."

4. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 3995Abu Dawud silent

   «أَطْيَبُ رِيحٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ الْهِنْدُ أُهْبِطَ بِهَا آدَمُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ فَعَلَقَ شَجَرُهَا مِنْ رِيحِ الْجَنَّةِ» هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص

   "The most pleasant smell on earth is found in India, where Prophet Adam, peace be upon him, descended. Its trees are made of the fragrance of paradise." This is an authentic Hadith according to the conditions of Muslim, and Al-Dhahabi did not mention anything about it in his summary.

5. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 3996Sahih

   «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَّا أَخْرَجَ آدَمَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ زَوَّدَهُ مِنْ ثِمَارِ الْجَنَّةِ وَعَلَّمَهُ صَنْعَةَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَثِمَارُكُمْ هَذِهِ مِنْ ثِمَارِ الْجَنَّةِ غَيْرَ أَنَّ هَذِهِ تَغَيَّرُ وَتِلْكَ لَا تَغَيَّرُ»

   ✧ Indeed, when Allah brought Adam out of Paradise, He provisioned him with fruits of Paradise and taught him the craft of everything. So these fruits of yours are from the fruits of Paradise, except that these change while those do not change.

   أَنَّ الْيَهُودَ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَتْهُ عَنْ خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ «خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الْأَرْضَ يَوْمَ الْأَحَدِ وَالِاثْنَيْنِ وَخَلَقَ اللَّهُ الْجِبَالَ يَوْمَ الثُّلَاثَاءِ وَمَا فِيهِنَّ مِنْ مَنَافِعَ وَخَلَقَ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ الشَّجَرَ وَالْمَاءَ وَالْمَدَائِنَ وَالْعُمْرَانَ وَالْخَرَابَ فَهَذِهِ أَرْبَعَةٌ» فَقَالَ ﷻ « {أَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَكْفُرُونَ بِالَّذِي خَلَقَ الْأَرْضَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ وَتَجْعَلُونَ لَهُ أَنْدَادًا ذَلِكَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ مِنْ فَوْقِهَا وَبَارَكَ فِيهَا وَقَدَّرَ فِيهَا أَقْوَاتَهَا فِي أَرْبَعَةِ أَيَّامٍ سَوَاءً لِلسَّائِلِينَ} وَخَلَقَ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ السَّمَاءَ وَخَلَقَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ النُّجُومَ وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالْمَلَائِكَةَ إِلَى ثَلَاثِ سَاعَاتٍ بَقِينَ مِنْهُ فَخَلَقَ فِي أَوَّلِ سَاعَةٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الثَّلَاثِ السَّاعَاتِ الْآجَالَ حِينَ يَمُوتُ مَنْ مَاتَ وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ أَلْقَى الْآفَةَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِمَّا يَنْتَفِعُ بِهِ النَّاسَ وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ آدَمَ أَسْكَنَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَمَرَ إِبْلِيسَ بِالسُّجُودِ لَهُ وَأَخْرَجَهُ مِنْهَا فِي آخِرِ سَاعَةٍ» ثُمَّ قَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ ثُمَّ مَاذَا يَا مُحَمَّدُ؟ قَالَ «ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ» قَالُوا قَدْ أَصَبْتَ لَوْ أَتْمَمْتَ قَالُوا ثُمَّ اسْتَرَاحَ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ غَضَبًا شَدِيدًا فَنَزَلَتْ {وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ وَمَا مَسَّنَا مِنْ لُغُوبِ فَاصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونَ}

   ✧ The Jews came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him about the creation of the heavens and the earth. He ﷺ said, "Allah created the earth on Sunday and Monday, and He created the mountains on Tuesday, and whatever beneficial things are in them. He created the trees, the water, the mines, and the buildings on Wednesday. These are four days." Then Allah (ﷻ) said, "Are you really denying the One who created the earth in two days and make for Him partners? He is the Lord of the worlds. He placed on the earth firm mountains above it and bestowed blessings in it, and determined in it its provisions in four days, equally for those who ask." He created the heavens on Thursday and He created the stars, the sun, the moon, and the angels on Friday until the remaining three hours. In the first of these three hours, He decrees the death of those who died, in the second, He inflicts affliction upon everything from which people benefit, and in the third, He admitted Adam into Paradise, ordered Iblis to prostrate to him, and expelled him from Paradise in the last hour. Then the Jews said, "And what about Muhammad?" He ﷺ said, "Then Allah established Himself above the Throne." They said, "You have spoken the truth, if you had completed it." He said, "Then He became angry with a severe anger." Then, the verse was revealed: "And certainly We created the heavens and the earth, and whatever is between them, in six days, and We were not touched with fatigue." So have patience over what they say.

7. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 3998Sahih

   «كَانَ آدَمُ رَجُلًا طُوَالًا كَثِيرَ شَعْرِ الرَّأْسِ كَأَنَّهُ نَخْلَةٌ سَحُوقٌ»

   ✧ Adam was a tall man with much hair on his head, as if he were a lofty palm tree.

   ✧ The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah took the covenant from the back of Adam at 'Arafah, meaning by mentioning the mountain of 'Arafah. Then, He extracted from his loins all of the offspring that He would create and dispersed them before Him like seeds, and then He addressed them from all sides and said: 'Am I not your Lord?' They replied: 'Indeed, we bear witness to it.' [This] He did lest they should say on the Day of Resurrection: 'We were not aware of this.' [This is mentioned] in His saying: 'Or [lest] you say, 'It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] with Allah before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?' [Al-A'raf: 172-173] This is an authentic Hadith, and they did not exclude it from their collections."

10. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 4001Sahih

    أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ سُئِلَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ ﴿وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ﴾ [الأعراف: ١٧٢] فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ آدَمَ، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ ظَهْرَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ، فَاسْتَخْرَجَ مِنْهُ ذُرِّيَّةً فَقَالَ: خَلَقْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ لِلْجَنَّةِ وَبِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ يَعْمَلُونَ، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ ظَهْرَهُ فَاسْتَخْرَجَ مِنْهُ ذُرِّيَّةً فَقَالَ: خَلَقْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ لِلنَّارِ وَبِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ يَعْمَلُونَ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا خَلَقَ الْعَبْدَ لِلْجَنَّةِ اسْتَعْمَلَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ عَلَى عَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَإِذَا خَلَقَ الْعَبْدَ لِلنَّارِ اسْتَعْمَلَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ عَلَى عَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيَدْخُلَ النَّارَ»

    ✧ Omar ibn al-Khattab was asked about this verse, "And when your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants." [Al-A'raf: 172]. Omar ibn al-Khattab said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Indeed, Allah created Adam, then He wiped his back with His right hand and brought forth from him his descendants. Then He said, "I have created these for Paradise and they will do the deeds of the people of Paradise." Then He wiped his back and brought forth from him his descendants. He said, "I have created these for Hellfire, and they will do the deeds of the people of Hellfire." Then a man said, "O Messenger of Allah, what about the actions?" He said, "When Allah creates a servant for Paradise, He employs him with the deeds of the people of Paradise until he dies upon the actions of the people of Paradise and enters Paradise. And when Allah creates a servant for the Hellfire, He employs him with the deeds of the people of Hellfire until he dies upon the actions of the people of Hellfire and enters the Hellfire."

    {فَتَلَقَّى آدَمُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ كَلِمَاتٍ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ} قَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ أَلَمْ تَخْلُقْنِي بِيَدِكَ؟ قَالَ «بَلَى» قَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ أَلَمْ تَنْفُخْ فِيَّ مِنْ رُوحِكَ؟ قَالَ «بَلَى» قَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ أَلَمْ تُسْكِنِّي جَنَّتَكَ؟ قَالَ «بَلَى» قَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ أَلَمْ تَسْبِقْ رَحْمَتُكَ غَضَبَكَ؟ قَالَ «بَلَى» قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ تُبْتُ وَأَصْلَحْتُ أَرَاجِعِي أَنْتَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ «بَلَى» قَالَ فَهُوَ قَوْلُهُ {فَتَلَقَّى آدَمُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ كَلِمَاتٍ}

    ✧ "O Lord, did you not blow into me from Your soul?" He said, "Indeed, yes." He said, "O Lord, did You not make me dwell in Your paradise?" He said, "Indeed, yes." He said, "O Lord, did Your mercy not precede Your anger?" He said, "Indeed, yes." He said, "So if I repent and mend my ways, will I return to Paradise?" He said, "Indeed, yes." So His saying, "Then Adam received from his Lord words" [Quran 2:37].

    ✧ Hawa's children did not survive for her, so she made a vow that if a child survived for her, she would name him 'Abd al-Harith. Then a child survived for her, and she named him 'Abd al-Harith. That was only from an inspiration of Satan.

    that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If Allah were to show Mercy to anyone from among the nation of Nūḥ, he would show Mercy to Umm al-Ṣabī (mother of the young boy)." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Nūḥ remained with his nation for a thousand years save fifty inviting them ˹to the Message˺ until the end of his time. He planted trees and they became plentiful/large and they ˹grew˺ in all different ways. Then he cut them and began to make his ship. ˹The people˺ used to pass by and say that he is making a ship on land, how would it sail?' The he would said, 'You will soon find out.' When he was finished with it and 'fār al-tannūr' (commonly interpreted as the bursting of springs from the ground) and the flooding started in the pathways. Umm al-Ṣabī feared for ˹her child˺ and she loved him intensely. She left toward the mountain until she reached a third of it. When the water reached it, she left from there until she settled on the two-thirds of the mountain. Then when the water reached it, she left from there until settled on ˹top˺ of the mountain. When the water reached up to her neck, she lifted him in her arms until the water washed him away. So if Allah were to show Mercy to anyone among them, he would show Mercy to Umm al-Ṣabī."

    ✧ Our Lord, exalted is He, gathered for Nuh the knowledge of all the past peoples and supported him with a spirit from Him.

    they all attributed this ḥadīth to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that Allah will call Nūḥ and nation on the Day of Resurrection as the first among the people, and He will say, "How did you respond to Nūḥ?" They will say, "He did not invite us ˹to Islam˺, nor he had conveyed ˹the Message˺, nor had commanded us to do ˹works˺, nor had prohibited us ˹to do other works.˺ Then Nūḥ will say, "O Lord, I called my people with an open Call to the first of them to the last of them, Ummah after Ummah until it reached the end with the seal of the Prophets, Aḥmad. He scribed ˹the Message˺, recited it, and believed in it. Then Allah will say to the angels, call Aḥmad and his Ummah. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his Ummah will rush with light terminating in front of them. Then Nūḥ will say to Muḥammad and his Ummah, "Do you know that I conveyed the message to my nation and strove to give them counsel and tried my best that they be saved from the Hellfire ˹preaching˺ then privately and publically and 'they did nothing but increasingly avoid my call' (Nūḥ 71:6)?" Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his followers will testify, "We bear witness that you are indeed among the truthful in all that you have said." So, the nation of Nūḥ will ask, "O Aḥmad, how did you and you Ummah come to know this when you and your Ummah are the last of the nations?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ will respond, "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, 'Indeed, We sent Nūḥ to his people, ˹saying˺, warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment. (Nūḥ, 71:1).'" He will recite the entire Sūrah. When he finishes it, the nation of Nūḥ will say, "We bear witness 'that this is indeed the true account, and there is no deity except Allah, and Allah is indeed the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. (Āl ʿImrān 3:62)" Thereupon, Allah ﷻ will say, "But stand apart today, you criminals. (Yā Sīn 36:59)" and thus they will be the first to be separated ˹from the rest destined toward˺ the Hellfire.

Two clans of the children of Adam, one of them dwelt in the plain and the other dwelt in the mountain. The men of the mountain were handsome, while the women were ugly; and the women of the plain were beautiful, while the men were ugly. Iblis came to a man of the people of the plain in the form of a shepherd boy and produced a sound the like of which the people had never heard. So they adopted a festival to which they gathered once a year. A man from the people of the mountain came upon them while they were at their festival and saw the women and their beauty. He went to his companions and told them about that, so they moved to those women and settled with them, and immorality appeared among them. That is the saying of Allah, exalted is He: {And do not display yourselves as was the display of the former times of ignorance} [Al-Ahzab: 33]." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in the summary.

    ✧ Ismail (son of Ibrahim) was a prophet of Allah, who was named "Sadiq al-Waad" (the truthful in promise). He was a man of strength who fought against the enemies of Allah, and Allah granted him victory over them. He was fierce in his war against the disbelievers, and he did not fear any blame from anyone when it came to fulfilling the commands of Allah. He had a small head, a thick neck, long arms and legs. He would strike his knees with his hands while standing, and he had small eyes, a long nose, broad shoulders, long fingers, and a prominent physique. He was strong, fierce, and harsh towards the disbelievers. He used to command his family to pray and give Zakaat, and he was pleasing to his Lord. It is said, "His Zakaat was his sacrifice to Allah from his wealth, and he would not promise anyone anything except that he would fulfill it, so Allah named him Sadiq al-Waad (the truthful in promise). He was a messenger and a prophet." The isnad (chain of narration) is weak.

    ✧ We attended the gathering of Mu'awiyah b. Abi Sufyan, and the people discussed Isma'il and Ishaq b. Ibrahim. Some said the sacrificed one is Isma'il, and others said rather Ishaq is the sacrificed one. Mu'awiyah said: 'You have fallen upon an expert. We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a Bedouin came to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, I left the lands dry and the water dried up, wealth has perished and families are lost, so give me from what Allah has granted you as spoils, O son of the two sacrificed ones. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and did not object. We said: O Commander of the Faithful, who are the two sacrificed ones? He said: When 'Abd al-Muttalib was ordered to dig Zamzam, he vowed to Allah that if Allah facilitated its matter, he would slaughter one of his children. He brought them out and cast lots among them, and the lot fell upon 'Abdullah. He intended to slaughter him, but his maternal uncles from Banu Makhzum prevented him and said: Appease your Lord and ransom your son. He said: So he ransomed him with one hundred camels. He said: He is the first sacrificed one, and Isma'il is the second.'

    ✧ Indeed, the one whom Allah commanded Ibrahim to sacrifice from his two sons was Isma'il, and we find that in the Book of Allah in the story of the report about Ibrahim and what he was commanded concerning the sacrifice of his son, that it was Isma'il. That is because Allah says when He finished the story of the sacrificed one from Ibrahim's two sons: {And We gave him glad tidings of Ishaq, a prophet from among the righteous}, then He says: {So We gave her glad tidings of Ishaq, and after Ishaq, Ya'qub}, meaning a son and a son of a son. So He would not command the sacrifice of Ishaq while He had a promise for him from Allah as He had promised, and the one He commanded to sacrifice is none other than Isma'il.

    ✧ I asked Khawwat b. Jubayr al-Ansari about God's sacrifice, which of the two it was. He said: Ishmael. When Ishmael reached seven years, Abraham saw in a dream in his dwelling in Syria that he was sacrificing Ishmael, so he rode to him upon al-Buraq until he came to him and found him with his mother. He took him by the hand and went off with him as he was commanded. Satan came to him in the likeness of a man he recognized and said, "O Abraham, where are you heading?" Abraham said, "For my need." He said, "You intend to sacrifice Ishmael?" Abraham said, "Have you seen a father sacrifice his child?" He said, "Yes, you." Abraham said, "And why?" He said, "You claim that God commanded you to do that." Abraham said, "If God commanded me, we obey God and I do well." So he turned away from him. Iblis came to Hagar and said, "Where has Abraham gone with your son?" She said, "He went for his need." He said, "He intends to sacrifice him." She said, "Have you seen a father sacrifice his child?" He said, "He claims that God commanded him to do that." She said, "He has done well to obey God." Then he caught up with Ishmael and said, "O Ishmael, where is your father taking you?" He said, "For his need." He said, "He is taking you to sacrifice you." He said, "Have you ever seen a father sacrifice his child?" He said, "Yes, he." He said, "And why?" He said, "He claims that God commanded him to do that." Ishmael said, "He has done well to obey his Lord." He said, "He set out with him until he brought him to Mina where he was commanded, then to the place of slaughtering the sacrificial camels today. He said, 'My son, God has commanded me to sacrifice you.' Ishmael said, 'Obey, for obedience to your Lord is all good.' Then Ishmael said, 'Did you inform my mother of this?' He said, 'No.' He said, 'You did right. I fear she would grieve. But when you bring the knife near my throat, turn away from me, for it is more likely that you will be patient and not see me.' So Abraham did that, and he began to cut his throat, but the cutting was on copper; the blade did not bite. He sharpened it twice or three times on a stone, all that while unable to cut. Abraham said, 'This matter is from God,' and raised his head. There was a mountain goat standing before him. Abraham said, 'Rise, my son, for your ransom has come down.' So he slaughtered it there at Mina. What is wrong with al-Waqidi and the sound collections?

She struck her forehead in amazement, and that is His saying, exalted: {She struck her face} [Al-Dhariyat 29]. She said: "Shall I bear a child when I am an old woman and this my husband is an old man? This is indeed a strange thing." They said: "Are you amazed at God's command?

    ✧ Ka'b said to Abu Hurayrah: "Shall I not tell you about Isaac son of Abraham the prophet?" Abu Hurayrah said: "Yes." Ka'b said: "When Abraham saw that he should sacrifice Isaac, Satan said: 'By God, if I do not tempt the family of Abraham at this, I will never tempt any of them.' Satan took the form of a man they recognized. He came until when Abraham went out with Isaac to sacrifice him, he entered upon Sarah, Abraham's wife, and said to her: 'Where has Abraham gone with Isaac this morning?' Sarah said: 'He went for some need of his.' Satan said: 'No, by God, he did not go for that.' Sarah said: 'Then why did he go with him?' He said: 'He went to sacrifice him.' Sarah said: 'There is nothing in that; he would not sacrifice his son.' Satan said: 'Yes, by God.' Sarah said: 'And why would he sacrifice him?' He said: 'He claims that his Lord commanded him to do that.' Sarah said: 'He has done well to obey his Lord if He commanded him that.' Satan left Sarah and caught up with Isaac while he was walking behind his father. He said: 'Where has your father gone with you this morning?' He said: 'He went with me for some need of his.' Satan said: 'No, by God, he did not go with you for some need of his; rather he went to sacrifice you.' Isaac said: 'My father would never sacrifice me.' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Why?' He said: 'He claims that God commanded him to do that.' Isaac said: 'By God, if He commanded him, he will obey Him.' Satan left him and hurried to Abraham. He said: 'Where have you gone with your son this morning?' He said: 'I went for some need of mine.' He said: 'No, by God, you did not go with him except to sacrifice him.' He said: 'And why would I sacrifice him?' He said: 'You claim that God commanded you to do that.' He said: 'By God, if God has commanded me, I will do it.' He said: 'When Abraham took Isaac to sacrifice him and Isaac submitted, God spared him and ransomed him with a great sacrifice. Abraham said to Isaac: "Rise, my son, for God has exempted you." And God revealed to Isaac: "I have granted you a supplication that I will answer for you." Isaac said: "I supplicate You to answer me: any servant who meets You from the first and the last, not associating anything with You, admit him to Paradise."

    ✧ The account of Isaac when God commanded Abraham to sacrifice him. God granted Abraham Isaac on the night the angels left him. When he was seven years old, God revealed to Abraham to sacrifice him and make him an offering. In those days the offering was accepted and taken up. Abraham concealed that from Isaac and all people and confided it to a close friend of his. Al-Ghazir al-Siddiq said—and he was the first to believe in Abraham—Siddiq said to him: "God does not test the likes of you with such a thing, but He wants to try and test you. Do not think ill of God, for God will make you a leader for mankind. There is no might and no power for Abraham and Isaac except with God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful."

    ✧ When Ibrahim migrated to the land of Syria and they expelled him from it as a fugitive, he departed with Sarah. She said to him, "I have given myself to you," and Allah revealed to him that he should marry her. That was the first revelation He sent down to him, and Lut believed in him along with a group from his people. He said, "Indeed, I will emigrate to my Lord. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise." So they expelled him from the land of Babylon to the Holy Land until he reached Harran, and they expelled him from there until they pushed him to the Jordan, where there was a tyrant among the tyrants, until Allah crushed him. Then Ibrahim returned to Syria with Lut, and Allah made Lut a prophet and sent him to the Mu'tafikat as a messenger calling to Allah. They were five cities, the greatest of which was Sodum, then 'Amud, then Arum, then Sa'ur, then Sabur. The people of these cities numbered four million. Lut settled in Sodum and stayed among them for more than twenty years, commanding them and forbidding them, calling them to Allah and to His worship, and to abandon the abominations and filthy acts they were upon. Hospitality was made obligatory upon Lut as it was made obligatory upon Ibrahim and Isma'il. His people did not entertain any guest, and they approached the males of the worlds and disregarded women. So Allah reproached them for that through the tongue of their Prophet in the Qur'an, saying: {Do you approach males among the worlds and leave what your Lord has created for you as mates?} [Ash-Shu'ara 26:166]. Wahb said: 'Abdullah b. 'Abbas mentioned that what led them to approach men instead of women was that they had orchards and fruits inside their homes, and orchards and fruits outside along the roadside. A severe drought and famine struck them, so they said to one another, "If you prevent these exposed fruits from the wayfarers, you will have a livelihood from them." They said, "How can we prevent them?" Some of them turned to others and said, "Make it your custom regarding anyone you find in your lands as a stranger whom you do not know: rob him, have intercourse with him, and drag him along. For people will not set foot in your lands if you do that." Then Iblis came to them on those mountains in the form of a handsome boy, the sweetest boy people had ever seen, and marked him. They seized him, had intercourse with him, robbed him, and dragged him along. Then he left. So no person came to them except that they did that to him. That remained their custom until Allah sent Lut to them. Lut forbade them from that and warned them of the punishment, and he made excuses to them, saying, "O my people, indeed you commit an immorality that no one in the worlds has preceded you with."

    ✧ When the angels departed from Ibrahim toward the town of Lut and reached it at midday, when they arrived at the river of Sodum, they met the daughter of Lut drawing water for her family (he had two daughters). They said to her, "O girl, is there a place to stay?" She said, "Yes, stay where you are; do not enter until I come to you." She went to her father and said, "O my father, help some young men at the gate of the city; I have not seen faces of people more handsome than theirs. Do not let your people take them and disgrace them." His people had forbidden him from hosting any man, to the point that they said, "If he hosts someone among us, let him host the men." So he went to them without informing anyone except the household of Lut. His wife went out and told his people, saying, "In the house of Lut there are men whose like I have never seen." His people came rushing to him. When they came, Lut said to them, "O my people, fear Allah and do not disgrace me regarding my guest. Is there not among you a right-minded man? These are my daughters; they are purer for you than what you want." They said to him, "Did we not forbid you from hosting men? You know that we have no right to your daughters, and you know what we want." When they did not accept what he offered them, he said, "If only I had against you some power or could take refuge in a strong support," meaning, may Allah's prayers be upon him, "If only I had supporters to help me against you or a clan to protect me from you, they would come between you and what you came wanting from my guests." When Lut said, "If only I had against you some power or could take refuge in a strong support," Jibril then spread his wings and blinded their eyes. They left, some stumbling over the tracks of others, blind, saying, "Flee, flee! In the house of Lut are the most skilled sorcerers on earth." That is the saying of Allah, Exalted is He: {And they had sought from him his guests, so We obliterated their eyes} [Al-Qamar 54:37]. They said, "O Lut, indeed we are messengers of your Lord; they will never reach you. So set out with your family during a portion of the night and let not any of you turn back, except your wife. Follow the tracks of your family," meaning, "And proceed where you are commanded." So Allah brought them out to Syria. Lut said, "Destroy them now." They said, "We have not been commanded except for the morning. Is not the morning near?" When it was the time before dawn, Lut and his family went out, except his wife. That is the saying of Allah, Exalted is He: {Except the family of Lut; We saved them before dawn} [Al-Qamar 54:34].

    ✧ Wahb b. Munabbih was asked about Hud: "Was he the father of al-Yaman who begot them?" Wahb said: "No, but he was the brother of al-Yaman, and in the Torah he is traced back to Nuh. When tribalism arose among the Arabs and Mudar boasted of its father Isma'il, al-Yaman claimed Hud as a father so that they would be descendants of the prophets and his offspring among them. But he is not their father; rather, he is their brother. He was sent only to 'Ad." Wahb did not name 'Ad, nor did he trace their tribes, nor did he mention their poetry. There was no nation on earth greater in number than them, nor larger in bodies, nor stronger in might. When they saw the wind approaching them, they said to Hud, "You frighten us with the wind." So they gathered their children, wealth, and livestock into a mountain pass, then stood at the entrance of that pass to keep the wind away from their wealth and families. But the wind entered from beneath their feet, between them and the ground, until it uprooted them. Wahb said: When Allah sent to them Hud b. 'Abd Allah b. Rabah b. al-Harith b. 'Ad b. 'Aws b. Iram b. Sam b. Nuh, every sand dune that Allah placed in any part of the lands was a dwelling of 'Ad in its sands. The land of 'Ad was the most fertile land of the Arabs, with the most abundance of water, rivers, and gardens. When Allah became angry with them and they became arrogant toward Allah—and they were people of idols that they worshiped besides Allah—Allah sent upon them the barren wind.

Then they became arrogant against Allah. When their corruption appeared and they worshipped other than Allah, Allah sent Salih to them. They were an Arab people, and he was of their middle in lineage and their best in position. Their dwellings were al-Hijr to Qar', which is Wadi al-Qura, eighteen miles between al-Hijr and al-Hijaz. Allah sent him to them as a young lad, and he called them to Allah until he became gray-haired and old, and none followed him from among them except a few who were deemed weak. Then 'Ad and Thamud perished, and those of those nations who were from them. They were from the offspring of Lawidh b. Sam b. Nuh, and there was no prophet between Nuh and Ibrahim before him — meaning before Ibrahim — except Hud and Salih.»

Shu'aib said to them: «O my people, worship Allah; you have no god other than Him, and do not diminish the measure and the scale.

Ya'qub grabbed the heel of 'Isa and came out, so he was named 'Isa because he disobeyed, and he was named Ya'qub because he came out holding the heel of 'Isa. He was the elder of the two in the womb, but he disobeyed and came out before him.

    «قُسِمَ الْحُسْنُ فَجُعِلَ لِيُوسُفَ وَسَارَةَ النِّصْفُ وَلِسَائِرِ النَّاسِ النِّصْفُ»

    ✧ “Beauty was divided: half was given to Yusuf and Sarah, and half to the rest of mankind.”

96. al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 4087Abu Dawud silent

    سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ يَصِفُ يُوسُفَ حِينَ رَآهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ الثَّالِثَةِ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا صُورَتُهُ كَصُورَةِ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ فَقُلْتُ يَا جِبْرِيلُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ هَذَا أَخُوكَ يُوسُفُ قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ قَدْ أَعْطَى يُوسُفَ مِنَ الْحُسْنِ وَالْهَيْبَةِ مَا لَمْ يُعْطِهِ أَحَدًا مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ حَتَّى كَانَ يُقَالَ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ إِنَّهُ أُعْطِيَ نِصْفَ الْحُسْنِ وَقُسِمَ النِّصْفُ الْآخَرُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ

    ✧ I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, while describing Yusuf (Joseph) when he saw him in the third heaven, "I saw a man whose image resembled that of the full moon on a moonlit night. So I asked Jibril (Gabriel), 'Who is this?' He replied, 'This is your brother Yusuf.' Ibn Ishaq said, 'Allah had granted Yusuf such beauty and dignity that no one before him or after him has been given. It is even said, and Allah knows best, that he was given half of all beauty, and the other half was divided among the people.'" (There is no mention of this narration by Al-Dhahabi in his summarization)

    أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَزَلَ بِأَعْرَابِيٍّ فَأَكْرَمَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ «يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ سَلْ حَاجَتَكَ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَاقَةً بِرَحْلِهَا وَأَعْنُزَ يَحْلُبُهَا أَهْلِي قَالَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَعَجَزْتَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِثْلَ عَجُوزِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟» فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا عَجُوزُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ قَالَ إِنَّ مُوسَى أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسِيرَ بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَأُضِلَّ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُلَمَاءُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ نَحْنُ نُحَدِّثُكَ أَنَّ يُوسُفَ أَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا مَوَاثِيقَ اللَّهِ أَنْ لَا نَخْرُجَ مِنْ مِصْرَ حَتَّى نَنْقُلَ عِظَامَهُ مَعَنَا قَالَ وَأَيُّكُمْ يَدْرِي أَيْنَ قَبْرُ يُوسُفَ؟ قَالُوا مَا تَدْرِي أَيْنَ قَبْرُ يُوسُفَ إِلَّا عَجُوزُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ دُلِّينِي عَلَى قَبْرِ يُوسُفَ فَقَالَتْ لَا وَاللَّهِ لَا أَفْعَلُ حَتَّى أَكُونَ مَعَكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ وَكَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَا قَالَتْ فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَعْطِهَا حُكْمَهَا فَأَعْطَاهَا حُكْمَهَا فَأَتَتْ بُحَيْرَةً فَقَالَتْ أَنْضِبُوا هَذَا الْمَاءَ فَلَمَّا نَضَبُوهُ قَالَتِ احْفِرُوا هَهُنَا فَلَمَّا حَفَرُوا إِذَا عِظَامُ يُوسُفَ فَلَمَّا أَقَلُّوهَا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ فَإِذَا الطَّرِيقُ مِثْلُ ضَوْءِ النَّهَارِ

    ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stopped at the home of a bedouin, who honored him. He said to him: “O bedouin, ask for your need.” He said: O Messenger of Allah, a she-camel with her saddle and some goats for my family to milk. He said it twice. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: “Are you incapable of being like the old woman of the Children of Israel?” His companions said: O Messenger of Allah, who is the old woman of the Children of Israel? He said: When Musa wanted to travel with the Children of Israel, he lost his way. The scholars of the Children of Israel said to him: We tell you that Yusuf took from us covenants by Allah that we would not leave Egypt until we carried his bones with us. He said: Who among you knows where the grave of Yusuf is? They said: No one knows where the grave of Yusuf is except an old woman of the Children of Israel. So he sent for her and said: Show me the grave of Yusuf. She said: No, by Allah, I will not do it until I am with you in Paradise. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked what she said, but it was said to him: Give her what she asked. So he gave her what she asked. She came to a lake and said: Drain this water. When they drained it, she said: Dig here. When they dug, there were the bones of Yusuf. When they lifted them from the ground, the road became like the light of day.

    كَانَ عِلْمُ اللَّهِ وَحِكْمَتُهُ فِي وَرَثَةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ آتَى اللَّهُ يُوسُفَ بْنَ يَعْقُوبَ مُلْكَ الْأَرْضِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ فَمَلَكَ اثْنَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ سَنَةً وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ فِيمَا أَنْزَلَ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ {رَبِّ قَدْ آتَيْتَنِي مِنَ الْمُلْكِ وَعَلَّمْتَنِي مِنْ تَأْوِيلِ الْأَحَادِيثِ} [يوسف 101] الْآيَةُ لم يصح

    ✧ The knowledge and wisdom of Allah remained among the heirs of Ibrahim. Then Allah gave Yusuf b. Ya'qub dominion over the holy land, and he ruled for seventy-two years. That is His saying in what He revealed of His Book: {My Lord, You have given me some sovereignty and taught me some interpretation of events} [Yusuf 101], the verse. It is not authentic.

     ✧ Joseph was bought for only twenty dirhams. His family, when he sent for them while they were in Egypt, numbered three hundred ninety people: their men were prophets and their women were truthful ones. By Allah, they did not leave with Moses until they reached six hundred and seventy thousand.

     «ثُمَّ وُلِدَ لِيَعْقُوبَ يُوسُفُ الصِّدِّيقُ الَّذِي اصْطَفَاهُ اللَّهُ وَاخْتَارَهُ وَأَكْرَمَهُ وَقَسَمَ لَهُ مِنَ الْجَمَالِ الثُّلُثَيْنِ وَقَسَمَ بَيْنَ عِبَادِهِ الثُّلُثَ وَكَانَ يُشْبِهُ آدَمَ يَوْمَ خَلْقَهُ اللَّهُ وَصَوَّرَهُ وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ مِنْ رُوحِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصِيبَ الْمَعْصِيَةَ فَلَمَّا عَصَى آدَمُ نُزِعَ مِنْهُ النُّورُ وَالْبَهَاءُ وَالْحُسْنُ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ أَعْطَى آدَمَ الْحُسْنَ وَالْجَمَالَ وَالنُّورَ وَالْبَهَاءَ يَوْمَ خَلْقَهُ فَلَمَّا فَعَلَ مَا فَعَلَ وَأَصَابَ الذَّنْبَ نُزِعَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ وَهَبَ اللَّهُ لِآدَمَ الثُّلُثَ مِنَ الْجَمَالِ مَعَ التَّوْبَةِ الَّذِي تَابَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعْطَى يُوسُفَ الْحُسْنَ وَالْجَمَالَ وَالنُّورَ وَالْبَهَاءَ الَّذِي نَزَعَهُ مِنْ آدَمَ حِينَ أَصَابَ الذَّنْبَ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُرِيَ الْعِبَادَ أَنَّهُ قَادِرٌ عَلَى مَا يَشَاءَ وَأَعْطَى يُوسُفَ مِنَ الْحُسْنِ وَالْجَمَالِ مَا لَمْ يُعْطِهِ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ الْعِلْمَ بِتَأْوِيلِ الرُّؤْيَا وَكَانَ يُخْبِرُ بِالْأَمْرِ الَّذِي رَآهُ فِي مَنَامِهِ أَنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ كَمَا عَلَّمَ آدَمَ الْأَسْمَاءَ كُلَّهَا وَكَانَ إِذَا تَبَسَّمَ رَأَيْتَ النُّورَ فِي ضَوَاحِكِهِ وَكَانَ إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ رَأَيْتَ شُعَاعَ النُّورِ فِي كَلَامِهِ وَيَلْتَهِبُ الْتِهَابًا بَيْنَ ثَنَايَاهُ»

     ✧ Then to Jacob was born Joseph the truthful, whom Allah chose, selected, and honored, and allotted him two-thirds of beauty and allotted one-third among His servants. He resembled Adam on the day Allah created him, formed him, and breathed into him of His spirit before sin touched him. When Adam disobeyed, light, radiance, and beauty were stripped from him. Allah had given Adam beauty, comeliness, light, and radiance on the day He created him, but when he did what he did and fell into sin, that was taken from him. Then Allah granted Adam one-third of beauty along with the repentance He accepted from him. Thereafter Allah gave Joseph the beauty, comeliness, light, and radiance that He had stripped from Adam when he sinned. That is because Allah loved to show His servants that He is capable of whatever He wills. He gave Joseph such beauty and comeliness as He gave no one among people. Then Allah gave him knowledge of dream interpretation. He would report a matter he had seen in his sleep that it would come to be, and before it came to be, Allah taught him as He taught Adam all the names. When he smiled, you would see light in his front teeth; when he spoke, you would see rays of light in his speech, blazing between his incisors.

     ✧ Moses son of Misha son of Joseph son of Jacob was born and became a prophet among the Children of Israel before Moses son of Imran, as they claim. Those who are certain of it claim that he is the one who sought the learned man to learn from him until he reached the learned man who scuttled the ship, killed the boy, and built the wall, with Moses son of Misha accompanying him. Then he turned away from him until he reached what he reached.

     ✧ {And We wrote for him on the Tablets of everything an admonition and a detailed explanation of all things} [Al-A'raf: 145]. He said: Moses thought that all things had been recorded for him just as you see that your scholars have recorded for you everything they record. When Moses reached the seashore, he met the learned man and questioned him. The learned man acknowledged his superior knowledge and did not envy him. Moses said to him, entreating him: "May I follow you so that you teach me of the right guidance you have been taught?" The learned man knew that Moses could not endure his company nor be patient with his knowledge, so he said to him: "Indeed you will not be able to have patience with me. And how can you be patient about what you do not encompass in knowledge?" Moses said, excusing himself: "You will find me, if Allah wills, patient, and I will not disobey any of your commands." But he knew that Moses could not endure his company nor be patient with his knowledge, so he said to him: "If you follow me, do not ask me about anything until I mention it to you." Then they boarded the ship and the learned man scuttled it. Scuttling it was pleasing to Allah and displeasing to Moses. Then he met the boy and killed him, which was pleasing to Allah. Then he mentioned part of the story and the speech, and Ibn Abbas did not go beyond that.

     أَنَّ مُوسَىَ بْنَ عِمْرَانَ لَمَّا كَلَّمَهُ رَبُّهُ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَبِّي أَرِنِي أَنْظُرْ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ «لَنْ تَرَانِي وَلَكِنِ انْظُرْ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ فَإِنِ اسْتَقَرَّ مَكَانَهُ فَسَوْفَ تَرَانِي فَحَفَّ حَوْلَ الْجَبَلِ الْمَلَائِكَةَ وَحَفَّ حَوْلَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ بِنَارٍ وَحَفَّ حَوْلَ النَّارِ بِمَلَائِكَةٍ وَحَفَّ حَوْلَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ بِنَارٍ ثُمَّ تَجَلَّى رَبُّكَ لِلْجَبَلِ ثُمَّ تَجَلَّى مِنْهُ مِثْلُ الْخِنْصَرِ فَجَعَلَ الْجَبَلَ دَكًّا» وَخَرَّ مُوسَى صَعِقًا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَفَاقَ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَعْنِي أَوَّلَ مَنْ آمَنَ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

     ✧ When Moses son of Imran's Lord spoke to him, he wished to look at Him. He said: "My Lord, show me that I may look at You." He said: "You will never see Me, but look at the mountain; if it remains firm in its place, then you will see Me." So He surrounded the mountain with angels, surrounded the angels with fire, surrounded the fire with angels, and surrounded the angels with fire. Then your Lord manifested Himself to the mountain, then manifested from it something like a little finger, and He made the mountain level. Moses fell down thunderstruck for as long as Allah willed. Then he recovered and said: "Glory be to You, I repent to You, and I am the first of the believers," meaning the first of the Children of Israel to believe.

     ✧ Mention was made to me of the tree to which Moses, the Prophet of Allah ﷺ, took shelter, so I traveled to it for two days and two nights. Then I reached it in the morning and found it green and flourishing. I prayed for the Prophet ﷺ and greeted him. My camel, being hungry, stretched toward it and took a mouthful while hungry. It chewed but could not swallow it, so it spat it out. I prayed for the Prophet ﷺ and departed.

Salamah narrated to us, similar to the hadith of al-Khuza'i, and Hudbah did not doubt it.

     ✧ That he should return that to them, so He gave them dominion over the eastern and western parts of the earth and granted them a great kingdom, until they asked to look at their Lord. They said, "Show us Allah plainly," and that was when they saw Moses and his Lord spoke to him, and they heard, so they sought the vision. Moses had selected the best of them to testify for him before the Children of Israel that his Lord had indeed spoken to him, but they said, "We will never testify for you until you show us Allah plainly." So the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The Angel of Death used to come to people openly. He came to Moses son of Imran, and Moses slapped him and gouged out his eye. The Angel of Death ascended and said: 'O Lord, Your servant Moses did such and such to me, and were it not for his honor with You, I would have made it hard for him.' Allah said: 'Go to My servant Moses and give him the choice between placing his hand on the back of an ox, for every hair covered by his palm he gets a year, and dying now.' So he came to him and gave him the choice. Moses said: 'What comes after that?' He said: 'Death.' He said: 'Then now.' So he took a whiff of him and seized his soul, and Allah restored his sight to him. After that he used to come to people in concealment."

     ✧ Allah announced the death of Aaron to Moses when Allah willed to take him. When He announced it to him, he grieved. When he was taken, he became extremely distressed and wept for a long time. When he returned to that, Allah, Exalted be He, turned to him consoling and admonishing him, saying to him: "O Moses, it was not befitting for you to long for the loss of anything with Me, nor to find comfort in other than Me, nor to bind your knees except to Me, nor that this distress of yours now over Aaron should be except for Me. How can you feel lonely for any of the things while you hear My words? Or how can you long for the loss of any worldly thing after I have chosen you for My messages and My speech?" And he mentioned a long intimate conversation. He said: Aaron was taken while Moses was one hundred and seventeen years old, three years before the end of the wandering. Aaron was taken at one hundred and twenty years old; Moses remained after him three years until he completed one hundred and twenty years, while the Children of Israel were divided concerning him, sometimes gathering around him and other times separating.

     ✧ From some of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ: Allah revealed to Moses son of Imran, "I am going to take Aaron, so bring him to such-and-such a mountain." Moses and Aaron set out toward that mountain, and there they found a tree shaped like a built house, and inside it a bed with coverings, and in it a pleasant fragrance. When Aaron looked at that mountain, the house, and what was in it, it pleased him, and he said: "O Moses, I would love to sleep on this bed." Moses said to him: "Then sleep on it." He said: "I fear that the Lord of this house may come and be angry with me." Moses said to him: "Do not be afraid; I will suffice you against the Lord of this house, so sleep." He said: "O Moses, rather sleep with me, for if the Lord of this house comes, He will be angry with both me and you." When they lay down, death took Aaron. When he felt it, he said: "O Moses, you deceived me." When he was taken, that house was lifted, that tree disappeared, and the bed was raised to heaven. When Moses returned to the Children of Israel without Aaron, they said: "Moses killed Aaron out of jealousy for the Children of Israel's love for him." Aaron was more affectionate and gentler to them than Moses, and Moses had some harshness toward them. When that reached him, he said to them: "Woe to you! He was my brother; do you think I would kill him?" When they persisted against him, he stood, prayed two rak'ahs, then called upon Allah, and the bed descended until they saw it between heaven and earth, and they believed him.

     ✧ From 'Ali regarding His saying, Exalted be He: {O you who believe, do not be like those who hurt Moses, and Allah cleared him of what they said} [Al-Ahzab 69]. He said: Moses and Aaron went up the mountain, and Aaron died. The Children of Israel said to Moses: "You killed him; he was more loving to us than you and gentler to us than you." So they hurt him in that. Allah commanded the angels, and they carried him and passed him by the gatherings of the Children of Israel until they knew of his death, and they buried him. None knew his grave except the vultures, and Allah made them deaf and dumb.

     ✧ The chosen one of Allah, Moses, disliked death and regarded it as great. When he disliked it, Allah willed to make death beloved to him and life hateful to him. Prophethood was transferred to Joshua son of Nun, who used to come to him morning and evening. Moses would say to him: "O Prophet of Allah, what has Allah revealed to you?" Joshua son of Nun would say to him: "O Prophet of Allah, did I not accompany you for such and such years? Did I ever ask you about anything Allah revealed to you until you were the one to begin and mention it?" When Moses saw that, he disliked life and loved death.

     ✧ It was mentioned to me that concerning the death of the chosen one of Allah, Moses ﷺ: he used to shade himself in a booth and eat and drink from a hollowed-out stone, lapping from it like an animal, out of humility for Allah, until Allah honored him with what He honored him with of His speech. Regarding his death: he went out one day from his booth for some need, unknown to any of Allah's creation. He passed by a group of angels digging a grave. He recognized them and approached them until he stood over them, and they were digging a grave the like of which he had never seen anything more beautiful in its greenery, freshness, and splendor. He said to them: "O angels of Allah, for whom are you digging this grave?" They said: "By Allah, we are digging it for a servant noble to his Lord." He said: "This servant has a standing with Allah such that I have never seen a resting place or entrance like today." That was when what was to come from Allah regarding his taking came. The angels said to him: "O chosen one of Allah, would you like to be that one?" He said: "I wish it." They said: "Then descend and lie in it, and turn to your Lord, then breathe the easiest breath you have ever breathed." He descended, lay in it, turned to his Lord, then breathed, and Allah took his soul. Then the angels prayed over him.

     ✧ Job son of Amush was the patient prophet of Allah, upon whom Iblis, the enemy of Allah, brought his troops, cavalry, and infantry to tempt him and divert him from the remembrance of Allah, but Allah protected him and Iblis found no way to him. Allah cast upon Job tranquility and patience over the affliction with which He tested him, so Allah named him {an excellent servant, indeed he was oft-returning} [Sad 44]. Job was a tall man with curly hair, wide eyes, and handsome appearance. On his forehead was written 'the afflicted, the patient.' He had a short neck, broad chest, thick calves and forearms. He used to give to widows and clothe them, striving and sincere for Allah, Exalted be He.

     ✧ Job, the prophet of Allah, remained in his affliction for fifteen years; relatives and strangers abandoned him except two men from his brothers, who were among his closest brothers. They used to come to him morning and evening. One day one of them said to his companion: "By Allah, we know that Job has committed a sin that no one in the worlds has committed." His companion said to him: "And what is that?" He said: "For eighteen years Allah has not had mercy on him and removed what he has." When they went to Job, the man could not restrain himself until he mentioned that to him. Job said to him: "I do not know what you are saying, except that Allah knows that I used to pass by two men disputing and mentioning Allah, and I would return to my house and make expiation for them, disliking that Allah be mentioned except in truth." And he used to go out for his need, and when he finished his need, his wife would hold his hand until he reached home. One day he was late for her, and Allah revealed to Job in his place: "Strike with your foot; this is a cool bathing place and a drink." She found him late and went to meet him, and he came to her, Allah having removed the affliction from him, and he was the most handsome he had ever been. When she saw him, she said: "O you, may Allah bless you, have you seen the prophet of Allah, this afflicted one? By Allah, I have never seen a man more resembling him than you when he was healthy." He said: "I am he." He said: He had two threshing floors, one for wheat and one for barley. Allah sent two clouds: when one was over the wheat threshing floor, it poured gold into it until it overflowed, and the other poured silver into the barley threshing floor until it overflowed.

     ✧ The age of Ayyub was ninety-three years, and at his death he appointed his son Hawmal as his successor. After him, Allah sent his son Bishr b. Ayyub as a prophet and named him Dhu al-Kifl, and commanded him to call to His oneness. He remained in al-Sham his whole life until he died, and his age was seventy-five years. Bishr appointed his son Abdan as his successor. Then after them Allah sent Shu'ayb.

Allah answered him and saved him from distress, from three darknesses: the darkness of night, the darkness of the sea, and the darkness of the belly of the whale. He spent the night with his people, and He sent him to a hundred thousand or more, and they believed, so Allah let them enjoy until their appointed terms which He had written for them, and did not destroy them with punishment.

     Yunus bin Matta was a righteous servant, but he was of narrow character. When the burdens of prophethood were placed upon him and they were burdens that only a few could bear, he cracked under their weight, just as a single straw breaks under the burden. He expelled them from his body and fled from them, saying to his Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, "Therefore be patient, as the messengers endowed with determination were patient." "So be patient with the decree of your Lord and do not be like the companion of the fish when he called out while he was distressed." [Quran 68:48] It means, do not throw in another burden as you have thrown it away. Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary.

Then he said, 'Do you have a child other than these?' He said, 'Yes, O Prophet of Allah, I have a short son whom I was ashamed for people to see, so I put him with the sheep.' He said, 'Where is he?'

     ✧ When Allah created Adam, He wiped his back, and from his back came forth every soul He would create of his progeny until the Day of Resurrection. He placed between the eyes of every human among them a glint of their light. Then He presented them to Adam, who said, 'O Lord, who are these?' He said, 'These are your progeny.' He saw a man among them whose glint between his eyes pleased him. He said, 'O Lord, who is this?' He said, 'This is a man from the last of the nations from your progeny, called Dawud.' He said, 'O Lord, how long have You made his lifespan?' He said, 'Sixty years.' He said, 'O Lord, increase him from my lifespan forty years.' He said, 'Then it will be written and sealed and not changed.' When Adam's lifespan ended, the Angel of Death came to him. He said, 'Is there not left of my lifespan forty years?' He said, 'Did you not give them to your son Dawud?' So he denied, and his progeny denied. He forgot, and his progeny forgot. He erred, and his progeny erred.

     ✧ Four thousand guarded him every day and night. Al-Suddi said: Dawud had divided time into three days: one day to judge among the people, one day to devote himself to worship, and one day to devote himself to his wives. He had ninety-nine wives. In what he read of the scriptures, he found the excellence of Ibrahim, Ishaq, and Ya'qub. When he found that in what he read, he said, 'O Lord, I see that all good has been taken by my forefathers who were before me. Give me the like of what You gave them and do with me as You did with them.' Then Allah revealed to him: Your forefathers were tried with afflictions that you have not been tried with. Ibrahim was tried with the sacrifice of his son, Ishaq with the loss of his sight, and Ya'qub with his grief over Yusuf, and you have not been tried with any of that. He said, 'O Lord, try me with the like of what You tried them and give me the like of what You gave them.' Then Allah revealed to him: You will be tried, so beware. After that, he remained as long as Allah willed, when Satan came to him in the form of a dove of gold and landed between his legs while he was standing praying. He reached out his hand to take it, but it flew from the window. He watched where it landed and sent someone after it. Then he saw a woman bathing on her roof, one of the most beautiful of women in form. She glanced and saw him, so she let down her hair and covered herself with it. That increased his desire for her. He inquired about her and was told that she had a husband and that her husband was away at such-and-such a garrison. He sent to the commander of the garrison and ordered him to send the husband to such-and-such an enemy. He sent him, and he achieved victory. He kept sending him until he was killed on the third occasion. Then he married his wife. When he entered upon her, he had not stayed long before Allah sent two angels in human form. They asked to enter upon him and found him on his day of worship. The guards prevented them from entering, so they climbed over the wall into his prayer niche. He was unaware while praying when suddenly they were sitting before him. He was startled by them, and they said, 'Do not fear. We are two disputants; one of us has wronged the other, so judge between us with truth and do not be unjust.' He said, 'Do not fear,' and he mentioned the hadith at length concerning his acknowledgment of his sin. Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in the Talkhis.

     ✧ Allah chose for His prophethood and selected for His message Dawud b. Isha. Allah gathered for him that light and wisdom and gave him additionally the Psalms from Himself. Dawud b. Isha ruled for seventy years. He dealt fairly among people, judged between them with finality by what Allah taught him and gave him of His wisdom. Our Lord commanded the mountains, and they obeyed him, and made iron soft for him by Allah's permission. Our Lord commanded the angels to carry the Ark for him. Dawud continued to manage by Allah's knowledge and light, judging by what He made lawful and forbidding what He made unlawful, until when Allah willed to take him to Himself, He revealed to him: Entrust Allah's light and wisdom, both apparent and hidden, to your son Sulayman b. Dawud. And he did so.

     ✧ Zakariya called upon his Lord in secret, saying: "My Lord, indeed my bones have weakened, and my head has flared with gray hair, and I have never been disappointed in supplicating You, my Lord. Indeed, I fear the successors after me, and they are the 'asaba, and my wife has been barren, so grant me from Yourself a heir who will inherit me and inherit prophethood, and inherit from the family of Ya'qub, inheriting the prophethood of the family of Ya'qub, and make him, my Lord, pleasing." And His saying, "Grant me from Yourself a good offspring"—He says its positions—"indeed You are the Hearer of supplication." And He said, "My Lord, do not leave me alone, and You are the best of inheritors." Then the angels called him—he is Jibril—while he was standing praying in the mihrab: "Allah gives you glad tidings of a boy whose name is Yahya; We have not assigned to him before any namesake," no one before him was named Yahya. And the angels said, "Indeed Allah gives you glad tidings of Yahya, confirming a word from Allah, confirming 'Isa, and a hasur," and the hasur is the one who does not desire women. When he heard the call, Satan came to him and said, "O Zakariya, the voice you heard is not from Allah; it is only from Satan mocking you. If it were from Allah, He would have revealed it to you as He reveals other matters to you." Then he doubted in his place and said, "How can I have a boy"—he says from where—"when old age has reached me and my wife is barren?" He said, "Thus Allah does what He wills, and I created you before, and you were nothing."

     Jesus, the son of Mary, and John, the son of Zachariah, were sent with twelve thousand disciples to teach people. It is said that they prohibited the marriage of the niece of their king, ˹Herodias˺, who was fond of her and intended to marry her. She had a daily request which he fulfilled for her. When her mother learned of this, she advised her daughter ˹Herodias˺ to ask King ˹Herod˺ for a favor when she visited him. She said, "Ask him to have John, the son of Zachariah, beheaded for me." When she went in to see King ˹Herod˺, he asked her what she wanted, and she said that she wanted John, the son of Zachariah to be beheaded. However, King ˹Herod˺ asked her to request something else, but she that she did not want anything other than this. When she persisted, the king called for John, the son of Zachariah, and ordered him to be beheaded. A drop of his blood fell on the ground, and it continued to boil until Allah sent a Nebuchadnezzar upon them. An old man from the Children of Israel guided him to that blood, and God placed in his heart the idea that they should be killed in revenge for that blood. As a result, seventy thousand of them were killed in a single day, and then the violence ceased.

     ✧ From 'Abd Allah, they both said: Maryam went out to the side of the prayer niche with a menstrual impurity that had befallen her. When she became pure, there was a man with her. That is His saying: {Then We sent to her Our Spirit, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man} [Maryam:17], and he is Jibril ﷺ. She was frightened by him and said: {I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, if you should be righteous} [Maryam:18]. He said: {I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you a pure boy} [Maryam:19]—the verse. She went out with her outer garment on, and he took hold of her sleeve and blew into the opening of her chemise, which was slit from the front, and the breath entered her chest, and she conceived. Her sister, the wife of Zakariyya, came to visit her one night. When she opened the door for her, she embraced her. The wife of Zakariyya said: O Maryam, did you realize that I am pregnant? Maryam likewise said: Did you realize that I am pregnant? The wife of Zakariyya said: Indeed I have found that what is in my womb prostrates to what is in your womb. That is His saying, may He be glorified: {confirming a word from Allah} [Al 'Imran:39]. The wife of Zakariyya gave birth to Yahya. When Maryam was about to give birth, she went out to the side of the prayer niche, and the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, out of shame before the people: {I wish I had died before this and been completely forgotten} [Maryam:23]. Jibril called to her {from beneath her: Do not grieve; your Lord has placed beneath you a stream. And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates} [Maryam:25]. She shook it, and He caused a river to flow for her in the prayer niche—and al-sariyy is the river—and the palm tree dropped ripe, fresh dates. When she gave birth to him, the devil went and informed the Children of Israel that Maryam had given birth. When they wanted her to speak, she pointed to 'Isa, and 'Isa spoke and said: Indeed I am the servant of Allah; He has given me the Book and made me a prophet and made me blessed. When 'Isa was born, no idol on earth that was worshipped besides Allah remained except that it fell prostrate on its face.

He said: "And is that more beloved to you?" They said: Yes. He said: "Whenever you wish." The Prophet ﷺ came and gathered his children, al-Hasan and al-Husayn. Their chief said: Do not invoke a mutual curse with this man, for by Allah, if you do, one of the two parties will be swallowed up. They came and said: O Abu al-Qasim, it was only our foolish ones who wanted to invoke a mutual curse with you, and we would like you to excuse us. He said: "I have excused you."

When you see him, recognize him: a man of medium height, of reddish-white complexion, wearing two garments dyed with saffron, as if water were dripping from his head though it is not wet. He will break the cross, kill the pig, abolish the jizyah, and call the people to Islam. In his time, Allah will destroy the false messiah, the Dajjal, and security will descend upon the people of the earth so that lions graze with camels, leopards with cattle, and wolves with sheep, and children play with snakes without them harming them. He will remain for forty years, then he will die, and the Muslims will pray over him."

     ✧ Allah caused 'Isa son of Maryam to die for three hours of the day when He raised him to Himself, while the Christians claim that He caused him to die for seven hours of the day, then revived him. Wahb said: The Christians claimed that Maryam gave birth to 'Isa three hundred sixty-three years after the birth of Alexander. They claimed that the birth of Yahya b. Zakariyya was six months before the birth of 'Isa. They claimed that Maryam became pregnant with 'Isa when she was thirteen years old, and that 'Isa lived until he was raised at the age of thirty-two, and that Maryam remained after his raising for six years, so her total lifespan was fifty-six years. They claimed that Zakariyya b. Barkhiyya, the father of Yahya b. Zakariyya, was two hundred years old when the mother of Maryam was pregnant with Maryam. When Maryam was born, Zakariyya took charge of her after the death of her mother, because her maternal aunt, the sister of her mother, was married to him. The name of Maryam's mother was Hannah bt. Faqudh b. Qil.

By Allah, I do not know how to ask you as these people have asked. He said: Come close to me, and I will tell you about the prophets mentioned in the Book of Allah. I tell you about Adam: he was a servant, a farmer. I tell you about Nuh: he was a servant, a carpenter. I tell you about Idris: he was a servant, a tailor.

He used to fast six days at the beginning of the month, three in the middle, and three at the end. He had nine hundred concubines and three hundred free wives. I tell you about the son of the virgin, the pure, 'Isa son of Maryam: he would not store anything for tomorrow and would say: The One who gave me my morning meal will give me my evening meal, and the One who gave me my evening meal will give me my morning meal. He worshipped Allah all night, praying until the sun rose, and during the day he was a wanderer. He fasted all time and stood in prayer all night. I tell you about the chosen Prophet ﷺ: he used to tend the sheep of his household in Ajyad. He used to fast, and we would say he does not break his fast; and he would break his fast, and we would say he does not fast—but all of it: we never saw him fasting. He fasted three days of every month. He was the gentlest of people in disposition, the best in conduct, and the most knowledgeable. And I inform you about Hawwa': she used to spin hair and transform it with her hands, and she would clothe herself and her children with it. And Maryam bt. 'Imran used to do that.

Then he mentioned the hadith until he said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, how many are the prophets? He said: "One hundred twenty-four thousand prophets." I said: How many messengers are among them?

     ✧ A man from Banū ʿAbs called Khālid b. Sinān said to his people: “I shall extinguish for you the fire of al-Ḥadathān.” ʿUmārah b. Ziyād, a man of his people, said to him: “By Allah, you have never told us anything but the truth, O Khālid. So what is your business with the fire of al-Ḥadathān? You claim that you will extinguish it.” So he set out, and ʿUmārah b. Ziyād set out with him along with thirty of his people until they came to it, and it was emerging from a fissure in a mountain of a lava field called Ḥarrat Ashjaʿ. Khālid drew a line for them and seated them within it, and said: “If I am delayed from you, do not call me by my name.” It came out as if it were chestnut horses following one another. Khālid faced it and struck it with his staff, saying: “Badaʾ, badaʾ, badaʾ, all guidance. The son of the shepherd of goats claimed that I would not come out of it while my incisors are in my hand,” until he entered the fissure with it. He was delayed from them, and ʿUmārah b. Ziyād said: “By Allah, if your companion were alive, he would have come out to you by now.” They said: “Call him by his name.” They said: “He forbade us to call him by his name.” But they called him by his name. He came out to them holding his head, and said: “Did I not forbid you to call me by my name? By Allah, you have killed me. So bury me, and when donkeys pass by you, among them a tailless donkey, then dig me up, for you will find me alive.” So they buried him. Then donkeys passed by them, among them a tailless donkey, and we said: “Dig him up, for he commanded us to dig him up.” ʿUmārah b. Ziyād said: “Do not let Muḍar say that we dig up our dead. By Allah, we will never dig him up.” He had told them that in the saddlebag of his wife there were two tablets, and if any matter became unclear to them, they should look at them, for they would see what they asked about. And he said: “No menstruating woman should touch them.” When they returned to his wife, they asked her about them, and she brought them out while she was menstruating, so the knowledge that was in them was lost. Abū Yūnus said: Simāk b. Ḥarb said: The Prophet ﷺ was asked about him, and he said: “That was a prophet whom his people neglected.” And Abū Yūnus said: Simāk b. Ḥarb said: The son of Khālid b. Sinān came to the Prophet ﷺ, and he said: “Welcome to the son of my brother.” Al-Ḥākim said:

A man of the people of the Psalms said to me: ‘O ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib, will you permit me to look at your body, except for what is private?’ He opened one of my nostrils and looked into it, then looked into the other. Then he said: ‘I bear witness that in one of your hands there is kingship and in the other prophethood, and I see that in Banū Zuhrah. How is that?’ I said: ‘I do not know.’ He said: ‘Do you have a wife (shaʿah)?’ I said: ‘What is shaʿah?’ He said: ‘A wife.’ I said: ‘Not at present.’ He said: ‘When you return, marry among them.’ So ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib returned to Makkah and married Hālah bt. Wahb b. ʿAbd Manāf, and she bore him Ḥamzah and Ṣafiyyah. And ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib married Āminah bt. Wahb, and she bore the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

     ✧ There was a Jew who had settled in Makkah and traded there. On the night in which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was born, he said in a gathering of Quraysh: “O assembly of Quraysh, has a child been born among you tonight?” They said: “By Allah, we do not know.” He said: “Allah is greater. If it has escaped you, no harm, so look and remember what I say to you: tonight the Prophet of this last community has been born. Between his shoulders there is a mark, in which there are dense hairs like the mane of a horse. He will not suckle for two nights, because an ʿifrīt from the jinn inserted his two fingers into his mouth and prevented him from suckling.” The people dispersed from their gathering, amazed at his words and talk. When they reached their homes, each one of them told his family, and they said: “A boy has been born to ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib, and they have named him Muḥammad.” The people met and said: “Have you heard the words of the Jew, and has the birth of this boy reached you?” They went to the Jew and told him the news. He said: “Go with me so that I may look at him.” They went out and brought him to Āminah. He said: “Bring out your son to us.” She brought him out, and they uncovered his back, and he saw that mole. The Jew fell down unconscious. When he recovered, they said: “Woe to you, what is the matter?” He said: “By Allah, prophethood has departed from the Children of Israel. You have rejoiced with him, O assembly of Quraysh. By Allah, he will launch an assault upon you whose news will spread from the east to the west.” Among the group that day to whom the Jew said what he said were Hishām b. al-Walīd b. al-Mughīrah, Musāfir b. Abī ʿAmr, ʿUbaydah b. al-Ḥārith b. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib, and ʿUtbah b. Rabīʿah—a youth above the age of puberty—among a group of Banū Manāf and others from Quraysh.

     ✧ Waraqah b. Nawfal b. Asad b. 'Abd al-'Uzza, regarding what Khadijah mentioned to him about the affairs of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, recited poetry: "[meter: al-basit] O for men, and the turns of time and destiny, and what is there for anything Allah has decreed of change; even Khadijah calls me to inform her, but she has no knowledge of the hidden unseen. She came to ask me about him, to tell her of a matter I see will come to people of later times. She told me of something I had heard of in the ancient past and ages: that Ahmad will come and Gabriel will tell him that you are sent to mankind. I said: Perhaps what you hope for, Allah will fulfill for you, so hope for good and wait. Send him to us so that we may question him about his affair, what he sees in sleep and wakefulness. Then when he came to us, he spoke amazing words at which the skin and hair stood on end: 'I saw the Trusted One of Allah facing me in a form perfected of the most majestic forms.' Then it continued, and fear would terrify me from what it greeted of the trees around me. I said: I think, though I do not know if he will prove me true, that you will be sent reciting the revealed surahs, and I will come to you if you proclaim their call to jihad without reproach or distress."

He passed wearing a red hulla, and I heard him saying: "O people, say: There is no god but Allah, and you will succeed." A man was following him, throwing stones at him, and had made his heel bleed, while he was saying: "O people, do not obey this one, for he is a liar." I said: "Who is this?" It was said: "A young man from Banu Abdul-Muttalib." When Allah made Islam prevail, we left al-Rabadha with a woman of ours in a litter until we stopped near Madinah. While we were sitting, a man came to us wearing two garments and greeted us. He said: "Where are the people from?" We said: "From al-Rabadha, and we have a red camel with us." He said: "Will you sell me this camel?" We said: "Yes." He said: "For how much?" We said: "For such-and-such a measure of dates." He said: "I take it," and he did not haggle. He took the camel's halter and went away until he disappeared among the walls of Madinah. Some of us said to others: "Do you know the man?" None of us knew him. The people blamed one another, saying: "You give your camel to someone you do not know!" The woman in the litter said: "Do not blame one another, for we have seen a man who will not betray you; I have never seen anything more like the full moon at night than his face." In the evening a man came to us and said: "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Are you the ones who came from al-Rabadha?" We said: "Yes." He said: "I am the messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to you. He commands you to eat from these dates until you are full, and to measure until you receive in full." We ate dates until we were full and measured until we received in full. Then we came to Madinah the next day, and there was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing and preaching to the people on the pulpit. I heard him say: "The upper hand is the giving hand, and begin with those you support: your mother, your father, your sister, your brother, then your nearest, then your nearest." Then a man from the Ansar said: "O Messenger of Allah, these are Banu Tha'laba ibn Yarbu' who killed so-and-so in the Jahiliyyah, so avenge us." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands until I saw the whiteness of his armpits and said: "A mother does not bear the crime of her child; a mother does not bear the crime of her child."

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to present himself to the people in a certain situation and say, "Is there anyone who can take me to his people? The Quraysh have prevented me from conveying the words of my Lord." So a man from the Bani Hamdan came to him and said, "I can." He asked, "Are there any restrictions among your people?" The man replied, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then asked, "Where are you from?" He said, "From Hamdan." Then the man from Hamdan feared that his people might harm him, so he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "I will go to my people and inform them, and then I will meet you in 'Aam Qabil."

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never cursed a Muslim with a curse that is remembered, never struck anything with his hand except when striking in the path of Allah, never was asked for something and refused it unless he was asked for a sin, in which case he was the farthest of people from it, never took revenge for himself for anything brought to him unless the sacred limits of Allah were violated, in which case he took revenge for Allah, and never was given a choice between two matters but chose the easier of them. And when he renewed his covenant with Jibril to study with him, he was more generous with good than the sent wind."

So I knew that You would not attach to Your name except the most beloved of creation to You." Allah said: "You have spoken the truth, O Adam. Indeed, he is the most beloved of creation to Me. Call upon Me by his right, for I have forgiven you. And were it not for Muhammad, I would not have created you."

     ✧ Abu Talib went out to Syria, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went with him among elders of Quraysh. When they came in sight of the monk, they descended and changed their saddles. The monk came out to them, whereas before that they used to pass by him and he would not come out to them nor pay attention. He was walking among them while they were unloading their saddles, until he came and took the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "This is the master of the worlds; this is the Messenger of the Lord of the worlds; this is one whom Allah will send as a mercy to the worlds." Elders of Quraysh said to him: "What is your knowledge of that?" He said: "When you appeared from the mountain pass, there remained no tree or stone but fell down prostrating, and they prostrate only to a prophet. I recognize him by the seal of prophethood below the cartilage of his shoulder, like an apple." Then he went back and prepared food for them, then came to them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was among the camel herds. He said: "Send for him." He came with a cloud shading him. He said: "Look at him, a cloud shades him." When he drew near the people, he found that they had preceded him to the shade of the tree. When he sat down, the shade of the tree inclined over him. He said: "Look at the shade of the tree, it inclined over him." While he was standing with him, he adjured them not to take him to the Byzantines, for if the Byzantines saw him they would recognize him by description and kill him. Then he turned and saw seven men coming from the Byzantines. He met them and said: "What has brought you?" They said: "We have come because this prophet is emerging in this month, and no road remains but people have been sent to it, and we have been sent to this road of his." The monk said to them: "Have you left behind anyone better than you?" They said: "No. We were only informed of his news, so we were sent to this road of yours." He said: "Do you think that if Allah wills a matter to be decreed, any of the people can repel it?" They said: "No." He said: "Then pledge allegiance to him." They pledged allegiance to him and stayed with him. Then the monk came to them and said: "I adjure you by Allah, which of you is his guardian?" Abu Talib kept adjuring him until he sent him back. Abu Bakr sent Bilal with him, and the monk provisioned him with cakes and oil.

I went with a son of hers to tend some lambs of ours, and we did not take any provisions with us. I said: 'O my brother, go and bring us provisions from our mother.' My brother went, and I remained with the lambs. Two white birds came like two eagles. One of them said to the other: 'Is it he?' The other said: 'Yes.' They came hastening to me, took me, laid me on my back, split my belly, then extracted my heart and split it, and took out two black clots from it. One of them said to the other: 'Cleanse it,' meaning 'mark it,' and 'seal it with the seal of prophethood.' Then one of them said to the other: 'Put him in one scale and put a thousand of his nation in the other scale.' I looked at the thousand above me, fearing they would fall on me. They said: 'If his entire nation were weighed against him, he would outweigh them.' Then they went away and left me. I was terrified with a great fear. Then I went to my mother and told her what I had seen. She feared that I had been afflicted, so she said: 'I seek refuge for you with Allah.' She saddled a camel of hers, placed me on the saddle, and rode behind me until we reached my mother. She said: 'I have fulfilled my trust and my duty,' and told her what I had encountered. That did not alarm her, and she said: 'I saw a light come out of me that illuminated the palaces of Syria.'"

He said: "Go to him and convey my greetings of peace to him, and say: Your brother Ilyas conveys greetings of peace to you." I came to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him. He came until he met him, embraced him, and greeted him. Then they sat talking. He said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, I eat only one day each year, and this is my day of breaking fast, so I and you will eat."

     ✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a military expedition, and the people were afflicted with severe hunger. The people asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for permission to slaughter some of their riding camels, and they said, 'Allah will help us reach our destination by means of them.' When Umar b. al-Khattab saw that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was about to grant them permission to slaughter some of their riding camels, he said, 'O Messenger of Allah, how will we be tomorrow when we meet the enemy hungry and on foot? But if you see fit, O Messenger of Allah, call upon the people to bring the remnants of their provisions.' So the people began to come with a handful of food and more than that. The one who brought the most came with a sa' of dates. He gathered it all. Then he stood and supplicated as Allah willed him to supplicate. Then he called the army with their vessels, then he ordered them to fill up whatever remained of the army. They did not leave any vessel without filling it, and the like of it remained. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed until his molars appeared.

He made it kneel at the door of the mosque, then came in, greeted us, and sat down. When he had finished, they said, “O Messenger of Allah, the she-camel under the Bedouin is stolen.” He said, “Is there proof?” They said, “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “O ʿAlī, take Allah’s due from the Bedouin if the proof is established against him; and if it is not established, then return him to me.” The Bedouin lowered his head for a while. Then the Prophet ﷺ said to him, “Stand, O Bedouin, for Allah’s matter; otherwise present your argument.” Whereupon the she-camel spoke from behind the door: “By Him who sent you with honor, O Messenger of Allah, this man did not steal me, and no one has owned me other than he.” The Prophet ﷺ said to him, “O Bedouin, by Him who made her speak in your defense—what was it that you said?” He replied, “I said: O Allah, You are not a Lord whom we have newly invented, nor is there with You a god who aided You in creating us, nor is there with You any lord such that we would doubt Your lordship. You are our Lord as we say, and above what those who speak can say. I ask You to send blessings upon Muhammad and to clear me by my innocence.” The Prophet ﷺ said to him, “By Him who sent me with honor, O Bedouin, I have indeed seen the angels racing to the mouths of the alleys, writing down your words—so increase your prayers for blessings upon me.”

When I entered, she said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." I returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ weeping from joy as I used to weep from sorrow, and I said, "Rejoice, O Messenger of Allah, Allah has answered your supplication and guided the mother of Abu Hurayrah to Islam."

He said, 'Then I will not leave you, O Muhammad, until you give it to me.' He ﷺ said, 'Then I will sit with you.' So he sat with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed in that place the noon prayer, the afternoon prayer, the sunset prayer, the night prayer, and the dawn prayer. The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were threatening him and intimidating him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ noticed, and said, 'What are you doing to him?' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, a Jew is detaining you.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'My Lord has forbidden me from wronging a person under treaty, or anyone else.' When the day declined, the Jew said, 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.' And he said, 'Half of my wealth is in the cause of Allah. By Allah, I did what I did to you only to look at your description in the Torah: Muhammad b. Abdullah, his birthplace is Makkah, his migration is to Taybah, and his kingdom is in Syria. He is not harsh or coarse, nor does he shout in the markets, nor does he adorn himself with obscenity or foul speech. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah. This is my wealth, so judge in it as Allah has shown you.' The Jew was very wealthy.

     ✧ Abu Talib recited verses to the Negus urging them to treat them well as neighbors and to defend them: 'Let the best of people know that Muhammad is a vizier to Moses and the Messiah, son of Mary. He brought us guidance like what they brought, and each, by Allah's command, guides and protects. And you recite it in your book with truthful speech, not the speech of the mubarjim. No band comes to you seeking your favor but that they are returned with honor.'

     ✧ Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ spent ten years following people in their homes during the season of Manazil, Muzdalifah, and 'Ukaz. He would ask, "Who will shelter me? Who will support me until I convey the messages of my Lord, and for him is Paradise?" Yet, he would find no one to support him or shelter him. And there would be a man who would leave from Egypt or Yemen to bring him back to his people, and they would warn him, "Beware of the young Quraishi boy who will tempt you." He would walk among their tents, calling them to Allah Almighty, and they would point at him with their fingers. Then Allah sent us from Yathrib (Medina), and the man from among us would meet him, believe in him, and teach him the Quran. He would then return to his people, and they would embrace Islam until there was not a single house among the houses of the Ansar without Muslims in it. We sent a message to Allah, and He allowed us to gather and meet. We said, "How long will the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be expelled in the mountains of Makkah and live in fear?" So we set out until we reached him in Muzdalifah during the pilgrimage season. We made an agreement with him at 'Aqabah, and his uncle, al-'Abbas, said to him, "O son of my brother, I do not know who these people who have come to you are. I have knowledge of the people of Yathrib, so we gathered with a man, and when al-'Abbas looked at our faces, he said, 'These are people we do not know. They are young men.' So we said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do we pledge allegiance to you on?' He said, 'Pledge allegiance to me on hearing and obeying, in times of energy and times of laziness, on spending in times of ease and times of hardship, on commanding good and forbidding evil, and on not blaming us for what we do in the name of Allah. Pledge allegiance to me on supporting me when I come to you, and withholding from what you withhold from yourselves, your wives, and your children. And for you is Paradise.' So we pledged allegiance to him, and Sa'd bin Zurarah, the youngest among the seventy, took his hand and said, 'O people of Yathrib, none of us withholds his hand from this pledge, and we will never quit it.' So we went to him, each man one by one, and he took our pledge to grant us Paradise."

     ✧ 'Between the night of ʿAqaba and the emigration of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ there were three months or close to that. The pledge of the Ansar to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on the night of ʿAqaba in Dhu al-Hijja, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Madinah in the month of Rabiʿ al-Awwal.'

     ✧ He said: The first of the emigrants to come to us in Madinah were Musʿab b. ʿUmayr and Ibn Umm Maktum, and they used to teach us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived after I had read 'Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High' and some surahs from the Mufassal. Then Saʿd b. Malik and ʿAmmar b. Yasir came. Then ʿUmar b. al-Khattab came with twenty. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, and we were not delighted with anything as much as we were delighted with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The women and children began running about saying, 'This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.'

     ✧ I said to ʿUrwa b. al-Zubayr, 'How long did the Prophet ﷺ stay in Makkah?' He said, 'Ten years.' I said, 'But Ibn ʿAbbas says, "He stayed for fifteen years."' He said, 'He took it from the saying of the poet.' Sufyan b. ʿUyayna said: Yahya b. Saʿid narrated to us, he said: I heard an old woman from the Ansar say: I saw Ibn ʿAbbas frequenting Ṣirma b. Qays to learn from him these verses [al-baḥr al-ṭawīl]: "He stayed in Quraysh for fifteen years, reminding, if only he had found a congenial friend. He would present himself to the people at the gatherings, but he saw no one to shelter him and no one to call. When he came to us and the journey's goal settled with him, he became happy and content with Ṭayba. He no longer feared the injustice of any wrongdoer, far away, nor feared any aggressor among people. We gave him our wealth from the best of what we owned, and ourselves in battle and in consolation. We show enmity to all those among people who show enmity to him, with justice, even if that loved one is congenial. We know that God is the only reality besides Him, and that the Book of God has become a guide.'"
