«يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ لَا تَسْأَلِ الْإِمَارَةَ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ أُوتِيتَهَا عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ وُكِلْتَ إِلَيْهَا وَإِنْ أُوتِيتَهَا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا وَإِذَا آلَيْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ وَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا فَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكِ»
✧ «O 'Abd al-Rahman, do not ask for leadership, for if you are given it by asking, you will be left to it, and if you are given it without asking, you will be helped in it. And if you swear an oath and see something else better, then do what is better and expiate for your oath.»
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ «يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ لَا تَسْأَلِ الْإِمَارَةَ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ أُوتِيتَهَا عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ وُكِلْتَ إِلَيْهَا وَإِنْ أُوتِيتَهَا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا وَإِذَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ وَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكِ»
✧ That the Prophet ﷺ said to him: «O 'Abd al-Rahman, do not ask for leadership, for if you are given it by asking, you will be left to it, and if you are given it without asking, you will be helped in it. And if you swear an oath and see something else better than it, then do what is better and expiate for your oath.»
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَا وَرَجُلَانِ مِنْ بَنِي عَمِّي فَقَالَ أَحَدُ الرَّجُلَيْنِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمِّرْنَا عَلَى بَعْضِ مَا وَلَّاكَ اللَّهُ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ لَا نُوَلِّي عَلَى هَذَا الْعَمَلِ أَحَدًا سَأَلَهُ وَلَا أَحَدًا حَرَصَ عَلَيْهِ»
✧ I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I and two men from my paternal cousins. One of the two men said: O Messenger of Allah, appoint us over some of what Allah has given you authority over. The other said the like of that. The Prophet ﷺ said: «By Allah, we do not appoint over this work anyone who asks for it, nor anyone who is eager for it.»
«إِنَّكُمْ سَتَحْرِصُونَ عَلَى الْإِمَارَةِ وَإِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ نَدَامَةً وَحَسْرَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَنِعْمَتِ الْمُرْضِعَةُ وَبِئْسَتِ الْفَاطِمَةُ»
✧ «You will be eager for leadership, and it will be regret and remorse on the Day of Resurrection. How good a wet-nurse, and how evil a weaner.»
«وَيْلٌ لِلْأُمَرَاءِ لَيَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَقْوَامٌ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مُعَلَّقِينَ بِذَوَائِبِهِمْ بِالثُّرَيَّا وَأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَكُونُوا وُلُّوا شَيْئًا قَطُّ»
✧ «Woe to the rulers! People will wish that they had been hung by their forelocks from the Pleiades and that they had never been given authority over anything at all.»
«الْمُقْسِطُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى مَنَابِرٍ مِنْ نُورٍ عَنْ يَمِينِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَكِلْتَا يَدَيْهِ يَمِينٌ الْمُقْسِطُونَ عَلَى أَهْلِيهِمْ وَأَوْلَادَهُمْ وَمَا وَلُّوا»
✧ «The just ones on the Day of Resurrection will be on pulpits of light at the right hand of the Most Merciful — and both His hands are right: those who are just in their rulings, their families, and whatever they are given authority over.»
« الْمُقْسِطُونَ عَنْ يَمِينِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَكِلْتَا يَدَيْهِ يَمِينٌ الَّذِينَ يَعْدِلُونَ فِي حُكْمِهِمْ وَأَهْلِيهِمْ وَمَا وَلُّوا»
✧ «The just ones are at the right hand of the Most Merciful — and both His hands are right: those who are just in their judgments, their families, and whatever they are given authority over.»
«سَبْعَةٌ يُظِلُّهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي ظِلِّهِ يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلُّهُ إِمَامٌ عَادِلٌ وَشَابٌّ نَشَأَ فِي عِبَادَةِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَرَجُلٌ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ خَالِيًا فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ قَلْبُهُ مُعَلَّقٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَرَجُلَانِ تَحَابَّا فِي اللَّهِ اجْتَمَعَا عَلَيْهِ وَتَفَرَّقَا وَرَجُلٌ دَعَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ ذَاتَ مَنْصِبٍ وَجَمَالٍ إِلَى نَفْسِهَا فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ اللَّهَ وَرَجُلٌ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَأَخْفَاهَا حَتَّى لَا تَعْلَمَ شِمَالُهُ مَا تُنْفِقُ يَمِينُهُ»
The Prophet ﷺ said, "Seven people will be shaded by Allah under His shade on the day when there will be no shade except His. They are: (1) a just ruler; (2) a young man who has been brought up in the worship of Allah, (i.e. worship Allah (Alone) sincerely from his childhood), (3) a man whose heart is attached to the mosque (who offers the five compulsory congregational prayers in the mosque); (4) two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only; (5) a man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for an illegal sexual intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of Allah; (6) a person who practices charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity). (7) a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes get flooded with tears." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1423)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَ أَبَا جَهْمِ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ مُصَدِّقًا فَلَاجَّهُ رَجُلٌ فِي صَدَقَتِهِ فَضَرَبَهُ أَبُو جَهْمٍ فَشَجَّهُ فَأَتَوَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا الْقَوَدُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَكُمْ كَذَا وَكَذَا» فَلَمْ يَرْضَوْا فَقَالَ «لَكُمْ كَذَا وَكَذَا» فَلَمْ يَرْضَوْا فَقَالَ «لَكُمْ كَذَا وَكَذَا» فَرَضُوا وَقَالَ «أَرَضِيتُمْ؟ » قَالُوا نَعَمْ
✧ Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ sent Abu Jahl bin Hudhayfah as a representative to collect charity. A man refused to give him charity, so Abu Jahl struck him and injured him. They all went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, seek justice!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "You have this and that." They were not satisfied, so he said again, "You have this and that." They were still not satisfied, so he said, "You have this and that." Finally, they agreed and said, "Are you satisfied?" They replied, "Yes."

أَنَّ هِيتًا كَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَا يَعُدُّونَهُ مِنْ أُولِي الْإِرْبَةِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَنْعَتُ امْرَأَةً وَهُوَ يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا إِذَا أَقْبَلَتْ أَقْبَلَتْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ أَدْبَرَتْ بِثَمَانٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَلَا أَرَى هَذَا يَعْلَمُ مَا هَا هُنَا؟ لَا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْكُمْ» وَأَخْرَجَهُ فَكَانَ بِالْبَيْدَاءِ يَدْخُلُ كُلَّ يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ يَسْتَطْعِمُ
✧ That Haytah used to enter the wives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ without being counted among the family members. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon him while he was being described as a woman, and he said: "When she approaches, she approaches with four and when she turns away, she turns away with eight." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do I not see that he knows what is happening here? He should not enter upon you." So he expelled him, and he would come to the outskirts and enter every Friday, feeding them.

✧ «Each of you is a shepherd, and each of you is responsible. The ruler is a shepherd over the people and is responsible. A man is a shepherd over his household and is responsible. A woman is a shepherd over her husband's house and is responsible. A slave is a shepherd over his master's property and is responsible. Indeed, each of you is a shepherd, and each of you is responsible.»

✧ «When Allah wants good for an amir, He gives him a truthful vizier: if he forgets, he reminds him, and if he remembers, he helps him. But when Allah wants otherwise for him, He gives him an evil vizier: if he forgets, he does not remind him, and if he remembers, he does not help him.»
عَادَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ مَعْقِلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ مَعْقِلٌ إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكَ بِحَدِيثٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَوْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ لِي حَيَاةً مَا حَدَّثْتُكَ بِهِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَسْتَرْعِيهِ اللَّهُ رَعِيَّةً يَمُوتُ يَوْمَ يَمُوتُ وَهُوَ غَاشٌّ لِرَعِيَّتِهِ إِلَّا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ»
✧ Ubaydullah b. Ziyad visited Ma'qil b. Yasar during the illness in which he died. Ma'qil said: I am going to tell you a hadith that I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. If I knew that I had any life left, I would not tell it to you. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: «There is no servant whom Allah entrusts with a flock and who dies on the day he dies while being deceitful to his flock except that Allah forbids Paradise for him.»
جِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَتَحَدَّثَتْ عِنْدَهُ وَهُوَ عَاكِفٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَامَ مَعِي لَيْلَةً مِنَ اللَّيَالِي يَبَلِّغُنِي بَيْتِي فَلَقِيَهُ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَلَمَّا رَأَيَاهُ اسْتَحْيَا فَرَجَعَا فَقَالَ «تَعَالَيَا فَإِنَّهَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَيٍّ» فَقَالَا نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «مَا أَقُولُ لَكُمَا هَذَا إِنْ تَكُونَا تَظُنَّانِ سُوءًا وَلَكِنْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنَ ابْنِ آدَمَ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ»
✧ I came to the Prophet ﷺ and spoke with him while he was in i'tikaf in the mosque. He got up with me one night to escort me to my house. Two men from the Ansar met him, and when they saw him, they felt shy and turned back. He said: «Come here, for she is Safiyya bt. Huyayy.» They said: We seek refuge in Allah. Glorified be Allah. He said: «I do not say this to you because you think ill, but I know that Satan runs through the son of Adam like blood.»
أَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ قَامَتْ تَنْطَلِقُ فَقَامَ مَعَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْلِبُهَا حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ عِنْدَ بَابِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَسَلَّمَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ بُعْدًا فَقَالَ لَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «عَلَى رِسْلِكُمَا إِنَّمَا هِيَ صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَيٍّ» فَقَالَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَكَبُرَ عَلَيْهِمَا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَبْلُغُ مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ مَبْلَغَ الدَّمِ وَإِنِّي خِفْتُ أَنْ يَقْذِفَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمَا شَيْئًا»
✧ She came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in i'tikaf during the last ten nights of Ramadan. Then she got up to leave, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up with her to escort her. When he reached near the door of the mosque, by the door of Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, two men from the Ansar passed by and greeted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then they distanced themselves. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them: «Slow down, she is only Safiyya bt. Huyayy.» They said: Glorified be Allah, O Messenger of Allah, and that weighed heavily on them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: «Indeed Satan reaches in a person to the extent of blood, and I feared that he might cast something into your hearts.»
«قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَنَا تَمْرًا فَأَصَابَنِي مِنْهَا خَمْسُ أَوْ أَرْبَعُ تَمَرَاتٍ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ الْحَشَفَةَ هِيَ أَشَدُّ لِضِرْسِي»
✧ «The Messenger of Allah ﷺ distributed dates among us, and I got five or four dates from it. He said: I saw that the dry, hard date was the harshest on my molar.»
«إِنَّ أَبْخَلَ النَّاسِ مَنْ بَخِلَ بِالسَّلَامِ وَأَعْجَزَ النَّاسِ مَنْ عَجَزَ عَنِ الدُّعَاءِ»
"The most stingy of people are those who withhold greetings, and the weakest of people are those who are unable to make supplications."
أَنَّهُ وَفْدَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاسْتَقْطَعَهُ فَأَقْطَعَهُ الْمِلْحَ فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَدْرِي مَا أَقْطَعْتَهُ؟ إِنَّمَا أَقْطَعْتَهُ الْمَاءَ الْعِدَّ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ فِيهِ وَقَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَمَّا يُحْمَى مِنَ الْأَرَاكِ فَقَالَ «مَا لَمْ تَبْلُغْهُ أَخْفَافُ الْإِبِلِ»
✧ He came as a delegate to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him to grant him a piece of land. He granted him the salt land. When he turned away, a man said: O Messenger of Allah, do you know what you have granted him? You have granted him a perennial water source. So he took it back from him. He said: I asked him about what may be protected from the arak trees. He said: «What the feet of camels do not reach.»

✧ Al-Zubayr married me while he had no property on earth, no slave, nothing except a camel for drawing water and his horse. I used to feed his horse, take care of its upkeep, groom it, grind date pits for his camel, feed it, draw water, and stitch its leather bucket. Abu Usama said: meaning the bucket. I used to knead dough, but I was not good at baking, so some of my neighbors from the Ansar, who were truthful women, baked for me. I used to carry date pits from the land of al-Zubayr, which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had granted to him, on my head. It was two-thirds of a farsakh away. One day I came with date pits on my head and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me with a group of his companions. He called me and then said: «Ikh, ikh,» to make me ride behind him. I felt shy to walk with the men, and I remembered al-Zubayr and his jealousy, for he was the most jealous of people. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recognized that I felt shy, so he went on. I came to al-Zubayr and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me while I had date pits on my head, and with him was a group of his companions. He made his camel kneel so that I could ride with him, but I felt shy and knew your jealousy. He said: By Allah, your carrying the date pits is more difficult for me than your riding with him. She said: Later Abu Bakr sent me a servant, and that servant took over the care of the horse, as if she had set me free.
«إِنَّ قُرَيْشًا حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِجَاهِلِيَّةٍ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَأَلَّفَهُمْ» ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ «أَفِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ؟ » قَالُوا ابْنُ أُخْتٍ لَنَا قَالَ «ابْنُ أُخْتِ الْقَوْمِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ»
✧ «Indeed Quraysh are recent in their Jahiliyya, so I wanted to win their hearts.» Then he said to them: «Is there anyone among you from other than yourselves?» They said: A son of our sister. He said: «The son of a people's sister is one of them.»

✧ A Bedouin asked the Prophet ﷺ, so he ordered that he be given sheep. Ibn ʿĀʾishah mentioned their abundance. The Bedouin went to his people and said, 'O my people, embrace Islam, for Muḥammad gives the gift of one who does not fear poverty.'
خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَامَ تَبُوكَ حَتَّى جِئْنَا وَادِي الْقُرَى فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ فِي حَدِيقَةٍ لَهَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِأَصْحَابِهِ «اخْرُصُوا» فَخَرَصَ الْقَوْمُ وَخَرَصَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَشْرَةَ أَوْسُقٍ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِلْمَرْأَةِ «أَحْصِي مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا حَتَّى أَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ» قَالَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى قَدِمَ تَبُوكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «سَتَهُبُّ عَلَيْكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ رِيحٌ شَدِيدَةٌ فَلَا يَقُومَنَّ فِيهَا رَجُلٌ وَمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ بَعِيرٌ فَلْيُوثِقْ عِقَالَهُ» قَالَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ فَعَقَلْنَاهَا فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ هَبَّتْ عَلَيْنَا رِيحٌ فَقَامَ فِيهَا رَجُلٌ فَأَلْقَتْهُ فِي جَبَلِ طَيِّئٍ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ مَلَكُ أَيْلَةَ وَأَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَغْلَةً بَيْضَاءَ فَكَسَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بُرْدًا وَكَتَبَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ وَأَقْبَلْنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى جِئْنَا وَادِي الْقُرَى فَقَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ «كَمْ جَاءَ حَدِيقَتُكِ؟ » قَالَتْ عَشْرَةُ أَوْسُقٍ خَرْصَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي مُتَعَجِّلٌ فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَتَعَجَّلَ مَعِي فَلْيَفْعَلْ» قَالَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا أَوْفَى عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ «هَذِهِ طَابَةُ» فَلَمَّا رَأَى أُحُدًا قَالَ «هَذَا أُحُدٌ هَذَا جَبَلٌ يُحِبُّنَا وَنُحِبُّهُ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ؟ » قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ «خَيْرُ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ بَنُو النَّجَّارِ ثُمَّ دَارُ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ ثُمَّ دَارُ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ ثُمَّ دَارُ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ وَفِي كُلِّ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ خَيْرٌ»
✧ We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the year of Tabuk until we came to Wadi al-Qura, and there was a woman in her garden. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to his companions, 'Estimate.' The people estimated, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ estimated ten wasqs. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the woman, 'Count what comes out of it until I return to you, if Allah wills.' He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out until he reached Tabuk. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'A strong wind will blow upon you tonight, so let no man stand in it, and whoever has a camel, let him tie its tether.' Abu Humayd said: So we tied them. When night came, a strong wind blew upon us, and a man stood in it, and it cast him into the mountain of Tayyiʾ. Then the king of Ayla came and presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a white mule, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave him a cloak and wrote for him. Then he returned and we returned with him until we came to Wadi al-Qura. He said to the woman, 'How much did your garden produce?' She said, 'Ten wasqs, the estimate of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I am hastening, so whoever of you wishes to hasten with me, let him do so.' He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and we went out with him until when he looked upon al-Madinah, he said, 'This is Tabah.' When he saw Uhud, he said, 'This is Uhud, a mountain that loves us and we love it. Shall I inform you of the best dwellings of the Ansar?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'The best dwellings of the Ansar are Banu al-Najjar, then the dwelling of Banu ʿAbd al-Ashhal, then the dwelling of Banu al-Harith, then the dwelling of Banu Saʿidah, and in every dwelling of the Ansar there is goodness.'

✧ 'Who will go with this letter of mine to Caesar, and for him is Paradise?' A man from the people said, 'Even if I am not killed?' He said, 'Even if you are not killed.' The man went with it and met Caesar while he was going to Jerusalem. A carpet had been placed for him that no one else walked upon, so he threw the letter onto the carpet and stepped aside. When Caesar reached the letter, he took it, then called the head of the jathiliq and read it to him, and he said, 'My knowledge of this letter is like your knowledge.' Caesar called out, 'Who is the bearer of the letter? He is safe.' The man came, and Caesar said, 'When I arrive, come to me.' When he arrived, he came to him, and Caesar ordered the doors of his palace to be closed, then ordered a caller to announce: 'Indeed Caesar has followed Muhammad ﷺ and abandoned Christianity.' His soldiers came armed and surrounded his palace. He said to the messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, 'You see that I fear for my kingdom.' Then he ordered a caller to announce: 'Indeed Caesar is pleased with you, and he only tested you to see how patient you are upon your religion, so return.' They left, and Caesar wrote to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, 'I am a Muslim,' and sent dinars to him. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ read the letter, he said, 'The enemy of Allah has lied; he is not a Muslim, and he is upon Christianity.' And he distributed the dinars.

✧ A man used to give the Prophet ﷺ palm trees from his land until Qurayzah and al-Nadir were conquered for him, and after that he began to return to him what he had given him. Anas said: My family commanded me to go to the Prophet ﷺ and ask him for what he had given him, or part of it. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ had given it to Umm Ayman. I went to the Prophet ﷺ, and he gave them to me. Umm Ayman came and placed the garment around my neck and said, 'By Allah, he will not give them to you, for he gave them to me.' The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Umm Ayman, leave him, and you shall have such and such.' She said, 'No, by the One besides whom there is no god,' until he gave her ten times its like, or close to ten times its like.

✧ Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, ؓ, sent for me after the killing of the people of al-Yamamah, and ʿUmar, ؓ, was sitting with him. Abu Bakr said, 'ʿUmar came to me and said, "The killing has been intense on the day of al-Yamamah among the reciters of the Quran, and I fear that killing will be intense in all places and much of the Quran will be lost. I think you should order the collection of the Quran." I said, "How can I do something that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not do?" ʿUmar said, "By Allah, it is good." He kept reviewing this with me until Allah opened my chest to what He had opened ʿUmar's chest, and I saw in it what he saw.' Abu Bakr said to me, 'You are a young intelligent man, and we do not suspect you, and you used to write down the revelation for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so trace the Quran and collect it.' Zayd said: By Allah, if they had tasked me with moving a mountain among the mountains, it would not have been heavier upon me than what he ordered me to do of collecting the Quran. I said, 'How can you do something that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not do?' He said, 'By Allah, it is good.' Abu Bakr kept reviewing this with me until Allah opened my chest to what He had opened the chests of Abu Bakr and ʿUmar. He said: So I traced the Quran, collecting it from palm stalks, thin stones, and the hearts of men, until I found the last part of Surah al-Tawbah with Khuzaymah b. Thabit al-Ansari; I did not find it with anyone else: 'There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is what you suffer.' [This is] the end of Baraʾah. He said: The sheets remained with Abu Bakr until Allah took him, then with ʿUmar until Allah took him, then with Hafsah bint ʿUmar.

✧ O Commander of the Faithful, understand this nation before they differ in the book as the Jews and Christians have differed. Uthman sent to Hafsah saying, "Send the scriptures to be copied in the Qur'ans, then return them to you." So she sent them to him, and he called Zaid bin Thabit, Abdullah bin Zubair, and Sa'id bin Al-As, and commanded them to copy the scriptures in the Qur'ans. He said to them, "Whatever you and Zaid bin Thabit differ in, write it in the dialect of the Quraysh, as it was revealed in their language." He wrote the scriptures in the Qur'ans and sent a copy to every region from what they had copied. He also commanded that any other copies of the Quran, in any paper or book, should be erased or burned.

✧ It was gathered for the expedition of Adharbijan and Armenia the people of Syria and the people of Iraq, and they discussed the Quran among themselves and differed about it until it almost led to fighting between them. When Hudhayfah b. al-Yaman saw their disagreement about the Quran, he rode to ʿUthman b. ʿAffan and said, 'The people have differed about the Quran until, by Allah, I fear that there will befall them what befell the Jews and Christians of disagreement.' ʿUthman, ؓ, was deeply alarmed and sent to Hafsah to bring out the sheets that Abu Bakr had ordered Zayd to collect, and he copied the mushafs from them and sent them to the regions. Then when Marwan was governor of al-Madinah, he sent to Hafsah asking for the sheets to tear them up, fearing that some parts would contradict others, but she refused to give them to him. Ibn Shihab said: Salim b. ʿAbd Allah narrated to me, 'When Hafsah died, Marwan sent to ʿAbd Allah b. ʿUmar with a firm request to send them. As soon as they returned from Hafsah's funeral, Ibn ʿUmar sent to Marwan, and he burned them, fearing that there might be in something of that disagreement when ʿUthman ؓ copied.'

✧ I was in the delegation of Banu al-Muntafiq. While we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the shepherd brought his sheep to the fold, and there was a ewe lamb bleating. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What did it give birth to?' The shepherd said, 'A lamb.' He said, 'Slaughter a sheep in its place.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do not think—and he did not say 'do not think' with nasb—that we slaughtered it for your sake. We have a hundred sheep, and when the shepherd has a lamb, we slaughter a sheep in its place.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have a wife, and there is something in her tongue, meaning obscenity.' He said, 'Divorce her then.' I said, 'She has companionship, and I have a child from her.' He said, 'Command her, admonish her, perhaps she will understand, and do not beat your wife as you beat your camel.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah...'

He was seized by perspiration or breathlessness, then he recovered and said, “Where is the questioner?” He said, “Here I am, and I intended only good.” He said, “Good does not come except with good. Indeed, everything that spring causes to grow kills by bloating or nearly so, except the eater of green vegetation: it eats until its flanks are full, then it faces the sun and defecates, then urinates, then returns and eats again. Indeed, this wealth is sweet and green.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed a man from the Azd tribe called Ibn al-Utbiyya, in charge of Sadaqat to be received from Banu Sulaim. When he came (back), the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him to render his account. He said: This wealth is for you (i.e. for the public treasury) and this is a gift (presented to me). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You should have remained in the house of your father and your mother, until your gift came to you if you spoke the truth; then he addressed us. He praised God and extolled Him, and afterwards said: I appoint a man from you to a responsible post sharing with him authority that God has entrusted to me, and he comes to me saying: This wealth is for you (i.e. for the public treasury) and this is a gift presented to me. Why did he not remain in the house of his father and his mother and his gift came to him, if he was truthful? By God, any one of you will not take anything from (the public funds) without any justification, but will meet his Lord carrying it on himself on the Day of judgment. I will recognise any one of you meeting Allah and carrying a growling camel, or a cow bellowing or a goat bleating. Then he raised his hands so high that whiteness of his armpits could be seen. Then he said: O my Lord, I have conveyed (Thy Commandments). The narrator says: My eyes saw (the Prophet standing in that pose) and my ears heard (what he said). (Using translation from Muslim 1832c)

✧ Rabīʿah b. al-Ḥārith and al-ʿAbbās b. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib met and said, “By Allah, if we sent these two boys”—meaning me and al-Faḍl b. al-ʿAbbās—“to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he appointed them over these alms, they would pay what people pay and receive the benefit that people receive.” While they were discussing that, ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib came and said, “What do you two want?” They told him what they intended. He said, “Do not do it, for by Allah he will not do it.” They said, “Why do you say this? This from you is nothing but envy toward us. By Allah, you have accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and obtained his kinship by marriage, and we did not envy you that.” He said, “I am Abū Ḥasan. Send them.” Then he lay down. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had prayed ẓuhr, we preceded him to the room and stood at it until he passed by us ﷺ. He took hold of our ears and said, “Get out what you are hiding,” and entered. We entered with him, and that day he was in the house of Zaynab bt. Jaḥsh. We spoke to him and said, “O Messenger of Allah, we came to you so that you may appoint us over these alms, so that we may receive the benefit that people receive and pay to you what people pay.” He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell silent and raised his head toward the ceiling of the house until we wanted to speak to him. Zaynab gestured to us from behind her screen as if she was telling us not to speak to him. Then he turned and said, “Indeed, alms are not appropriate for Muḥammad or the family of Muḥammad. They are only the impurities of people. Call for me Maḥmiyah b. Juzʾ”—he was in charge of the tithes—“and Abū Sufyān b. al-Ḥārith.” They came, and he said to Maḥmiyah, “Marry this boy to your daughter,” meaning al-Faḍl, and he married him. He said to Abū Sufyān, “Marry this boy to your daughter,” meaning me, and he married me. Then he said to Maḥmiyah, “Pay the dower for them from the fifth.”

✧ A woman who had something wrong with her intellect said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have a need to ask of you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O mother of so-and-so, take whichever road you wish and stand there until I come and stand with you." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went aside with her and spoke privately with her until she had satisfied her need from the Prophet ﷺ.

✧ The delegation of ʿAbd al-Qays, when they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said: O Messenger of Allah, we are a tribe from Rabīʿah, and between us and you are the disbelievers of Muḍar. We can only reach you during the sacred month, so command us with a matter to which we may call those of our people behind us, and by which we may enter Paradise if we take it up or act upon it. He said: “I command you with four things and forbid you from four: that you worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, that you establish the prayer, give the zakāh, fast Ramaḍān, and give a fifth of the spoils. And I forbid you from four: from al-dubbāʾ, al-ḥantam, al-muzaffat, and al-naqīr.” They said: O Messenger of Allah, what do you know about al-naqīr? He said: “It is the trunk that you hollow out and cast into it small dates or dates, then pour water over them until it ferments; then when it settles you drink it, and it may lead one of you to strike his cousin with the sword.” He said: Among the people was a man who had such a wound. He said: I used to hide it out of shyness from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They said: In what do you command us to drink, O Prophet of Allah? He said: “Drink from waterskins of leather whose mouths are tied.” They said: O Messenger of Allah, our land has many rats, and no leather waterskins remain. He said: “Even if the rats eat them,” twice or three times. Then the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said to Ashajj ʿAbd al-Qays: “You have two qualities that Allah loves: forbearance and deliberateness.”

✧ A man from the Anṣār freed six slaves at the time of his death, and he had no wealth besides them. He said: “That reached the Prophet ﷺ, and he spoke harshly to him. Then he summoned them, divided them into portions, and cast lots among them; then he freed two of them and left four as slaves.”

✧ We were sitting around the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and with us were Abū Bakr and ʿUmar, ؓ, in a group. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ got up from among us and was slow to return, so we feared he had been taken from us and became alarmed. I was the first to be alarmed, so I went out following the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until I came to a garden belonging to the Anṣār, to the Banū al-Najjār. I went around it looking for an entrance and found a stream entering the inside of the garden from its outside—al-rabīʿ means a water channel. I squeezed through and entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said: “Abū Hurayrah?” I said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He said: “What brought you?” I said: You got up from among us and were slow to return, so we feared you had been taken from us and became alarmed. I was the first to be alarmed, so I came to this garden and squeezed through as a fox squeezes through, and the people are behind me. He said: “O Abū Hurayrah,” and he gave me his two sandals and said: “Go with these two sandals of mine. Whomever you meet behind this wall who bears witness that there is no god but Allah with certainty in his heart, give him glad tidings of Paradise.” The first person I met was ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb, ؓ, and he said: What are these two sandals, O Abū Hurayrah? I said: These are the two sandals of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He sent me with them: whomever I meet behind this wall who bears witness that there is no god but Allah with certainty in his heart, I am to give him glad tidings of Paradise. He said: ʿUmar, ؓ, struck me between my breasts with his hand and I fell on my backside. He said: Go back, O Abū Hurayrah. So I returned to the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and burst into tears, and ʿUmar caught up with me on my tracks. The Messenger of Allah said: “What is the matter with you, O Abū Hurayrah?” I said: I met ʿUmar and told him what you sent me with, and he struck me between my breasts such that I fell on my backside, and he said: Go back. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “O ʿUmar, what made you do that?” He said: O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you, did you send Abū Hurayrah with your sandals to give glad tidings of Paradise to whomever he meets who bears witness that there is no god but Allah with certainty in his heart? He said: “Yes.” He said: Then do not do it, for I fear that people will rely upon it. Leave them to act. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Then leave them.”
أُقِيمَتْ صَلَاةُ الْعِشَاءِ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِي إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةً فَقَامَ بِنَاحِيَةٍ حَتَّى نَعَسَ الْقَوْمُ أَوْ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ «ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى فَصَلُّوا وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَنَّهُمْ تَوَضَّؤُوا»
✧ The ʿishāʾ prayer was announced, and a man stood before the Prophet ﷺ and said: I have a need from you. He stood aside with him until the people dozed, or some of the people dozed. “Then he stood and prayed, and they prayed, and he did not mention that they performed ablution anew.”
أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لَهُ أَلَا تَسْتَخْلِفُ؟ فَقَالَ «إِنْ أَتْرُكْ فَقَدْ تَرَكَ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِنْ أَسْتَخْلِفْ فَقَدِ اسْتَخْلَفَ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي أَبُو بَكْرٍ» فَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ «إِنِّي وَدِدْتُ أَنْ أَتَخَلَّصَ مِنْهَا لَا عَلَيَّ وَلَا لِي»
✧ It was said to him: Will you not appoint a successor? He said: «If I leave, then one better than me left — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; and if I appoint a successor, then one better than me appointed a successor — Abu Bakr.» And he praised him and said: «I wish I could be free from it, with nothing against me or for me.»

My word to one hundred women is like my word to one woman, or the like of my word to one woman.'

A'ishah said to her: 'Accept, O woman, for by Allah we did not pledge allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ except upon this.' So he accepted her pledge with the verse.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent 'Alqamah b. Mujazziz al-Mudliji on an expedition, and I was among them. We set out until when we were at the start of our campaign or on part of the road, a group sought permission from him and he gave them permission, and he appointed over them 'Abd Allah b. Hudhafah al-Sahmi, who was one of the Companions of Badr and had a sense of humor. I was among those who returned with him. While we were on the road, we stopped at a place and the people kindled a fire to warm themselves by it or to prepare something for themselves. Then 'Abd Allah b. Hudhafah said to them: 'Do I not have over you the right of hearing and obedience?' They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'So I command you to something – will you not do it?' They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Verily I adjure you by my right and your obedience that you leap into this fire.' He said: Some people stood up until he thought they were about to leap into it. Then he said: 'Restrain yourselves. I was only joking with you.' When they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, they mentioned that to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever commands you to disobedience, do not obey him.'
«ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا يُسْأَلُ عَنْهُمْ رَجُلٌ فَارَقَ الْجَمَاعَةَ وَعَصَى إِمَامَهُ وَمَاتَ عَاصِيًا وَأَمَةٌ أَوْ عَبْدٌ أَبَقَ مِنْ سَيِّدِهِ فَمَاتَ وَامْرَأَةٌ غَابَ زَوْجُهَا وَقَدْ كَفَاهَا مُؤْنَةَ الدُّنْيَا فَخَانَتْهُ بَعْدَهُ وَثَلَاثَةٌ لَا يُسْأَلُ عَنْهُمْ رَجُلٌ يُنَازِعُ اللَّهَ رِدَاءَهُ فَإِنَّ رِدَاءَهُ الْكِبْرُ وَإِزَارَهُ الْعِزُّ وَرَجُلٌ فِي شَكٍّ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ وَالْقَانِطُ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ»
✧ 'Three persons will not be asked about: a man who separated from the community and disobeyed his imam and died disobedient; a slave woman or slave who fled from his master and died; and a woman whose husband was absent after he had provided her with the means of the world, and she betrayed him after him. And three will not be asked about: a man who contends with Allah over His cloak, for His cloak is pride and His lower garment is might; a man in doubt about the affair of Allah; and one who despairs of the mercy of Allah.'
«آمُرُكُمْ بِثَلَاثٍ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ ثَلَاثٍ آمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتَعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَتَفَرَّقُوا وَتُطِيعُوا لِمَنْ وَلَّاهُ اللَّهُ أَمْرَكُمْ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ قِيلَ وَقَالَ وَكَثْرَةِ السُّؤَالِ وَإِضَاعَةِ الْمَالِ»
✧ 'I command you with three things and I forbid you from three things. I command you to worship Allah and not associate anything with Him, to hold fast to the rope of Allah all together and not be divided, and to obey the one whom Allah has placed in authority over your affairs. I forbid you from he said/she said, excessive questioning, and wasting wealth.'
كُنَّا إِذَا بَايَعْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ يَقُولُ لَنَا «فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ»
✧ When we pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ upon hearing and obedience, he would say to us: 'In what you are able.'
«اسْمَعْ وَأَطِعْ فِي عُسْرِكَ وَيُسْرِكَ وَمَنْشَطِكَ وَمَكْرَهِكَ وَأَثَرَةٍ عَلَيْكَ وَإِنْ أَكَلُوا مَالَكَ وَضَرَبُوا ظَهْرَكَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعْصِيَةً»
✧ 'Hear and obey in your hardship and ease, in your energy and weariness, and even when others are preferred over you, and even if they consume your wealth and strike your back, unless it is disobedience.'
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَخَطَبَنَا فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَهُوَ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ الْجَدْعَاءِ وَتَطَاوَلَ فِي غَرْزِ الرَّحْلِ فَقَالَ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ فِي آخِرِ النَّاسِ مَا تَقُولُ أَوْ مَا تُرِيدُ؟ فَقَالَ «أَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ أَطِيعُوا رَبَّكُمْ وَصَلُّوا خَمْسَكُمْ وَأَدُّوا زَكَاةَ أَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَطِيعُوا أُمَرَائَكُمْ تَدْخُلُوا جُنَّةَ رَبِّكُمْ» فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي أُمَامَةَ ابْنَ كَمْ كُنْتَ يَوْمَئِذٍ حِينَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ « سَمِعْتُ وَأَنَا ابْنُ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً»
✧ I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressing us during the Farewell Pilgrimage while he was on his she-camel al-Jad'a', and he stretched up in the stirrup of the saddle and said: 'O people.' A man at the back of the people said: What are you saying or what do you want? He said: 'Do you not hear? Obey your Lord, pray your five prayers, pay the zakat of your wealth, and obey your rulers, and you will enter the Paradise of your Lord.' I said to Abu Umamah: How old were you on that day when you heard this? He said: 'I heard it when I was thirty years old.'
حَجَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَجَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ فَرَأَيْتُ أُسَامَةَ أَوْ بِلَالًا يَقُودُ بِخِطَامِ نَاقَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالْآخَرَ رَافِعُ ثَوْبَهُ يَسْتُرُهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْحَرِّ حَتَّى رَمَى جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَوَقَفَ النَّاسُ وَقَدْ جَعَلَ ثَوْبَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ إِبْطِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ الْأَيْسَرِ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ تَحْتَ غُضْرُوفِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ كَهَيْئَةِ جُمْعٍ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ قَوْلًا كَثِيرًا وَكَانَ فِيمَا يَقُولُ ﷺ «إِنْ أُمِّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ مُجَدَّعٌ أَسْوَدُ يَقُودُكُمْ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَاسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ؟ »
✧ I performed the Farewell Pilgrimage with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I saw Usamah or Bilal leading the she-camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ by its halter, and the other raising his garment to shade him from the heat, until he threw the pebbles at Jamrat al-'Aqabah. Then he left and people stood. He had placed his garment under his right armpit over his left shoulder. He said: I saw under his right cartilage something like a fist. Then he mentioned much speech. Among what he said ﷺ was: 'If a mutilated black slave is appointed over you and leads you by the Book of Allah, then hear and obey.' Then he said: 'Have I conveyed?'
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُبَايِعُنَا عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ ثُمَّ يُلَقِّنُنَا «فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتَ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would pledge allegiance with us upon hearing and obedience, then he would instruct us: 'In what you are able.'
«يَا عُبَادَةَ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ قَالَ «اسْمَعْ وَأَطِعْ فِي عُسْرِكَ وَيُسْرِكَ وَمَكْرَهِكَ وَأَثَرَةٍ عَلَيْكَ وَإِنْ أَكَلُوا مَالَكَ وَضَرَبُوا ظَهْرَكَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ مَعْصِيَةً لِلَّهِ بَوَاحًا»
✧ "O 'Ubadah." I said, "At your service." He said, "Listen and obey in your hardship and ease, in what you dislike, and when others are given preference over you, even if they consume your wealth and strike your back, unless it is open disobedience to Allah."
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَيْشًا وَأَمَرَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَجُلًا فَأَوْقَدَ نَارًا فَقَالَ ادْخُلُوهَا فَأَرَادَ نَاسٌ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوهَا وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ إِنَّا فَرَرْنَا مِنْهَا فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِلَّذِينَ أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَدْخُلُوهَا «لَوْ دَخَلْتُمُوهَا لَمْ تَزَالُوا فِيهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ» أَوْ قَالَ «أَبَدًا» وَقَالَ لِلْآخَرِينَ «خَيْرًا» وَقَالَ «أَحْسَنْتُمْ لَا طَاعَةَ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا الطَّاعَةُ فِي الْمَعْرُوفِ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an army and placed a man in command over them. He lit a fire and said, "Enter it." Some people wanted to enter it, while others said, "We have fled from it." That was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. To those who wanted to enter it, he said, "Had you entered it, you would have remained in it until the Day of Resurrection," or he said, "forever." To the others, he said, "Good," and he said, "You have done well. There is no obedience in disobedience to Allah; obedience is only in what is right."
«لَا طَاعَةَ لِبَشَرٍ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا»
✧ "There is no obedience to any human in disobedience to Allah, Mighty and Majestic."
«لَا طَاعَةَ لِبَشَرٍ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ»
✧ "There is no obedience to a human in disobedience to Allah."
«إِنِّي لَا أَخَافُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي إِلَّا الْأَئِمَّةَ الْمُضِلِّينَ وَإِذَا وُضِعَ السَّيْفُ فِي أُمَّتِي لَمْ يُرْفَعْ عَنْهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ»
✧ "The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, 'Verily, I do not fear for my nation except for the misguided leaders. And when the sword is brandished among my people, it will not be lifted from them until the Day of Resurrection.'"
«إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ انْتِزَاعًا يَنْتَزِعُهُ وَلَكِنْ يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ بِقَبْضِ الْعُلَمَاءِ حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يُبْقِ عَالِمًا اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُؤَسَاءَ جُهَّالًا فَسُئِلُوا فَأَفْتَوْا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ فَضَلُّوا وَأَضَلُّوا» فَلَقِيتُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو بِسَنَةٍ فَحَدَّثَنِيهُ
✧ "Indeed Allah does not seize knowledge by forcibly removing it from people, but He seizes knowledge by taking the scholars, until when He leaves no scholar, people take ignorant leaders. They are asked and they give fatwas without knowledge, so they go astray and lead others astray." Then I met 'Abd Allah b. 'Amr a year later and he narrated it to me.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَظَرَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ «هَذَا أَوَانُ رَفْعِ الْعِلْمُ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ لَبِيدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ وَقَدْ أُثْبِتَ وَوَعَتْهُ الْقُلُوبُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَحْسِبُكَ أَفْقَهَ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ» ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ ضَلَالَةَ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى عَلَى مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَلَقِيتُ شَدَّادَ بْنَ أَوْسٍ وَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِحَدِيثِ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ عَوْفٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُ بِأَوَّلِ ذَلِكَ يُرْفَعُ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ الْخُشُوعُ حَتَّى لَا تَرَى خَاشِعًا
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at the sky and said, "This is the time when knowledge will be raised." A man from the Ansar named Labid b. Ziyad said, "O Messenger of Allah, will knowledge be raised while it has been established and hearts have retained it?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I had considered you the most knowledgeable of the people of Madinah." Then he mentioned the straying of the Jews and Christians despite the Book of Allah in their hands. He said: Then I met Shaddad b. Aws and told him the hadith of 'Awf b. Malik, and he said, "'Awf spoke the truth." Then he said, "Shall I inform you of the first of that to be raised?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Humility (khushu'), until you see no one humble."
«مَنْ مَاتَ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ إِمَامٌ مَاتَ مَيْتَةً جَاهِلِيَّةً»
✧ "Whoever dies without having an imam dies a death of ignorance."
«الدِّينُ النَّصِيحَةُ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالُوا لِمَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «لِلَّهِ وَلِكِتَابِهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِأَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَوْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَعَامَّتِهِمْ»
✧ "The religion is sincere advice." He said it three times. They said, "To whom, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "To Allah, His Book, His Messenger, the imams of the Muslims—or the believers—and the common people."
ثُمَّ لَقِيتُ سُهَيْلًا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَرَأَيْتَ حَدِيثًا كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ عَمْرٌو عَنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ عَنْ أَبِيكِ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ أَبِيكِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنَ الَّذِي سَمِعَهُ مِنْهُ أَبِي صِدِّيقٍ لِأَبِي كَانَ يَأْتِي مِنَ الشَّامِ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيُّ سَمِعْتُهُ أَخْبَرَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ تَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَلَا إِنَّ الدِّينَ النَّصِيحَةُ أَلَا إِنَّ الدِّينَ النَّصِيحَةُ أَلَا إِنَّ الدِّينَ النَّصِيحَةُ» قَالُوا لِمَنْ يَا رَسُولَ؟ قَالَ «لِلَّهِ وَلِكِتَابِهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِأَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَامَّتِهِمْ»
✧ Then I met Suhayl and said to him, "What do you think about a hadith that 'Amr used to narrate from al-Qa'qa' from your father—did you hear it from your father?" He said, "I heard it from the one whom my father heard it from. A friend of my father's used to come from Syria, called 'Ata' b. Yazid al-Laythi. I heard him narrate that from Tamim al-Dari, from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who said: 'Truly the religion is sincere advice. Truly the religion is sincere advice. Truly the religion is sincere advice.' They said, 'To whom, O Messenger?' He said, 'To Allah, His Book, His Messenger, the imams of the Muslims, and the common people.'"
خَطَبَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ بِالْجَابِيَةِ فَقَالَ قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُقَامِي فِيكُمُ الْيَوْمَ فَقَالَ «أَلَا أَحْسِنُوا إِلَى أَصْحَابِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَفْشُو الْكَذِبُ حَتَّى يَشْهَدَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى الشَّهَادَةِ لَا يُسْأَلُهَا وَيَحْلِفُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى الْيَمِينِ لَا يُسْأَلُهَا فَمَنْ أَرَادَ مِنْكُمْ بُحْبُوحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَلْزَمِ الْجَمَاعَةَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ مَعَ الْوَاحِدِ وَهُوَ مِنَ الِاثْنَيْنِ أَبْعَدُ وَلَا يَخْلَوَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِامْرَأَةٍ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ ثَالِثُهُمَا وَمَنْ سَاءَتْهُ سَيِّئَتُهُ وَسَرَّتْهُ حَسَنَتُهُ فَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ»
✧ 'Umar b. al-Khattab addressed us at al-Jabiyah and said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us as I stand among you today and said: 'Be good to my companions, then those who follow them, then lying will spread until a man testifies without being asked and swears without being asked. Whoever of you wants the best part of Paradise, let him adhere to the community, for Satan is with the single person, and he is farther from two. None of you should be alone with a woman, for Satan is the third of them. Whoever is grieved by his evil deeds and pleased by his good deeds is a believer.'"
«سَيَكُونُ بَعْدِي هَنَاتٌ وَهَنَاتٌ فَمَنْ رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَارَقَ الْجَمَاعَةِ أَوْ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُفَرِّقَ بَيْنَ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَأَمْرُهُمْ جَمِيعٌ فَاقْتُلُوهُ كَائِنًا مَنْ كَانَ فَإِنَّ يَدَ اللَّهِ مَعَ الْجَمَاعَةِ وَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ مَعَ مَنْ فَارَقَ الْجَمَاعَةَ يَرْتَكِضُ»
✧ "After me there will be trials and more trials. Whoever you see separating from the community or wanting to divide the community of Muhammad ﷺ while their affair is united, kill him, no matter who he is, for the hand of Allah is with the community, and Satan runs with the one who separates from the community."
أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ أَتَى ابْنَ مُطِيعٍ لَيَالِي الْحَرَّةِ فَقَالَ ضَعُوا لِأَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وِسَادَةً فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ آتِ لِأَجْلِسَ إِنَّمَا جِئْتُ لِأُكَلِّمَكَ كَلِمَتَيْنِ سَمِعْتُهُمَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ نَزَعَ يَدًا مِنْ طَاعَةٍ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ حُجَّةٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ مَاتَ مُفَارِقَ الْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّهُ يَمُوتُ مَوْتَةَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ»
✧ 'Abd Allah b. 'Umar came to Ibn Muti' during the nights of al-Harrah and said, "Place a cushion for Abu 'Abd al-Rahman." He said, "I did not come to sit; I came to speak two words to you that I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Whoever withdraws his hand from obedience will have no argument on the Day of Resurrection, and whoever dies separated from the community dies a death of ignorance.'"
«مَنْ قُتِلَ تَحْتَ رَايَةٍ عِمِّيَّةٍ فَقَتْلُهُ قِتْلَةٌ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah said, "Whoever is killed under a blind banner, their killing is the killing of ignorant people."
«مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الطَّاعَةِ وَفَارَقَ الْجَمَاعَةَ فَمَاتَ فَمِيتَةٌ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ وَمَنْ خَرَجَ عَلَى أُمَّتِي يَضْرِبُ بَرَّهَا وَفَاجِرَهَا لَا يَتَحَاشَى مِنْ مُؤْمِنِهَا وَلَا يَفِي بِذِي عَهْدِهَا فَقِتْلَةٌ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ وَمَنْ قَاتَلَ تَحْتَ رَايَةٍ عِمِّيَّةٍ يُقَاتِلُ لِعَصَبَةٍ أَوْ يَغْضَبُ لِعَصَبَةٍ فَقَتْلُهُ قِتْلَةٌ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ»
One who defected from obedience (to the Amir) and separated from the main body of the Muslims - if he died in that state-would die the death of one belonging to the days of Jahiliyya (i.e. would not die as a Muslim). One who fights under the banner of a people who are blind (to the cause for which they are fighting, i.e. do not know whether their cause is just or otherwise), who gets flared up with family pride, calls (people) to fight for their family honour, and supports his kith and kin (i.e. fights not for the cause of Allah but for the sake of this family or tribe) - if he is killed (in this fight), he dies as one belonging to the days of Jahiliyya. Whoso attacks my Ummah (indiscriminately) killing the righteous and the wicked of them, sparing not (even) those staunch in faith and fulfilling not his promise made with those who have been given a pledge of security - he has nothing to do with me and I have nothing to do with him. (Using translation from Muslim 1848a)
«إِنَّ لِي عَلَى قُرَيْشٍ حَقًّا وَإِنَّ لِقُرَيْشٍ عَلَيْكُمْ حَقًّا مَا حَكَمُوا وَعَدَلُوا وَائْتُمِنُوا فَأَدُّوا وَاسْتُرْحِمُوا فَرَحِمُوا فَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ مِنْهُمْ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ»
✧ “Indeed I have a right over Quraysh, and indeed Quraysh has a right over you: as long as they judge and are just, and are entrusted and fulfill, and mercy is sought from them and they show mercy. Whoever of them does not do that, upon him is the curse of Allah.”

✧ Abu Talhah was shooting arrows in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; the Prophet ﷺ would raise his head from behind him to see where his arrows fell, so Abu Talhah would stretch out his chest to shield the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with it, saying, “Thus, O Prophet of Allah, may Allah make me your ransom—my neck before your neck.”

✧ Two statements I heard, and I would not love to have the world and all it contains for either one of them. One was from the Negus and the other from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. As for the one I heard from the Negus: we were with him when a son of his came from the scribes and showed him his tablet. I understood some of their words, and he came to a verse, and I laughed. He said, “What made you laugh? For by the One in whose hand is my soul, it was sent down from the One of the Throne: that Jesus son of Mary said, ‘The curse occurs in the earth when the rule of boys occurs.’” And what I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I heard him say, “Listen to Quraysh and leave their deeds.”

He said: Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for us, singling us out one by one, so that no one else remained. When we gathered before him, some of us gestured to others, ‘Why has he sent for us?’ We were alarmed that something had been revealed about us.

نَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا قَرِيبًا مِنِّي ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ يَتَبَسَّمُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَضْحَكَكَ؟ قَالَ «نَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عُرِضُوا عَلَيَّ يَرْكَبُونَ ظَهْرَ هَذَا الْبَحْرِ الْأَخْضَرِ كَالْمُلُوكِ عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ» قَالَتْ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ فَدَعَا لَهَا ثُمَّ نَامَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَفَعَلَ مِثْلَهَا فَقَالَتْ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهَا فَأَجَابَهَا مِثْلَ قَوْلِهَا الْأَوَّلِ قَالَتْ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ قَالَ «أَنْتِ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ» فَخَرَجَتْ مَعَ زَوْجِهَا عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ غَازِيَةً أَوَّلَ مَا رَكِبَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ الْبَحْرَ مَعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفُوا مِنْ غَزَاتِهِمْ قَرَّبَ إِلَيْهَا دَابَّتِهَا لِتَرْكَبَهَا فَصُرِعَتْ فَمَاتَتْ
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ slept one day near me, then woke up smiling. I said, “O Messenger of Allah, what made you laugh?” He said, “People of my community were shown to me riding on the back of this green sea like kings upon thrones.” She said, “Supplicate Allah to make me one of them.” He supplicated for her. Then he slept a second time and did the like, and she said the like of her words, and he answered her with the like of his first words. She said, “Supplicate Allah to make me one of them.” He said, “You are among the first.” She went out with her husband ʿUbādah b. al-Ṣāmit as a warrior the first time the Muslims rode the sea with Muʿāwiyah. When they returned from their expedition, her mount was brought near for her to ride, but she fell and died.
قَالَ عُثْمَانُ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ بِمِنًى أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا كُنْتُ كَتَمْتُكُمُوهُ ضَنًّا بِكُمْ وَقَدْ بَدَا لِي أَنْ أُبْدِيَهُ نَصِيحَةً لِلَّهِ وَلَكُمْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَوْمٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ يَوْمٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ فَلْيَنْظُرْ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِنْكُمْ لِنَفْسِهِ»
✧ ʿUthmān said in the mosque of al-Khayf at Minā: O people, I heard a hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that I had concealed from you out of concern for you, but it has occurred to me to disclose it as sincere counsel for Allah and for you. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “A day in the way of Allah is better than a thousand days in anything else, so let every man among you look to himself.”
«تَكَفَّلَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ جَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ لَا يُخْرِجُهُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ إِلَّا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِهِ وَتَصْدِيقُ كَلِمَتِهِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ أَوْ يَرْجِعَهُ إِلَى مَسْكَنِهِ الَّذِي خَرَجَ مِنْهُ مَعَ مَا نَالَ مِنْ أَجْرِ أَوْ غَنِيمَةٍ»
✧ “Allah has guaranteed for the one who strives in His way—nothing brings him out of his house except striving in the way of Allah and affirming His word—that He will admit him to Paradise or return him to his dwelling from which he departed, along with the reward or spoils of war he obtains.”
«إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِائَةَ دَرَجَةٍ أَعَدَّهَا اللَّهُ لِلْمُجَاهِدِينَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ بَيْنَ الدَّرَجَتَيْنِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ فَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُ اللَّهَ فَاسْأَلُوهُ الْفِرْدَوْسَ فَهُوَ أَوْسَطُ الْجَنَّةِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَفَوْقَهُ الْعَرْشُ وَمِنْهُ تَفَجَّرُ أَنْهَارُ الْجَنَّةِ»
✧ “In Paradise there are one hundred degrees which Allah has prepared for the mujāhidīn in His way. Between each two degrees is like what is between the heaven and the earth. So when you ask Allah, ask Him for al-Firdaws, for it is the middle of Paradise and the highest part of Paradise, and above it is the Throne, and from it the rivers of Paradise gush forth.”
«يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ مَنْ رَضِيَ بِاللَّهِ رِبًا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دَينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ» فَعَجِبَ لَهَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ وَقَالَ أَعِدْهَا عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَفَعَلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَأُخْرَى يُرْفَعُ بِهَا الْعَبْدُ مِائَةَ دَرَجَةٍ مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ دَرَجَتَيْنِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ» قَالَ وَمَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ»
✧ “O Abū Saʿīd, whoever is content with Allah as Lord, with Islam as religion, and with Muhammad as Prophet, Paradise is guaranteed for him.” Abū Saʿīd was amazed at this and said, “Repeat it to me, O Messenger of Allah.” He did so. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “And another matter by which the servant is raised one hundred degrees, between each two degrees being like what is between the heaven and the earth.” He said, “What is it, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “Jihad in the way of Allah ﷻ.”
«الْغَازِي فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالْحَاجُّ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللَّهِ وَالْمُعْتَمِرُ وَفْدُ اللَّهِ دَعَاهُمْ فَأَجَابُوهُ»
✧ “The warrior in the way of Allah, the pilgrim to the House of Allah, and the one performing ʿUmrah are the delegation of Allah. He called them and they answered Him.”
«مَنْ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَانَ كَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً»
✧ “Whoever shoots an arrow in the way of Allah is like one who frees a slave.”
حَاصَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الطَّائِفَ فَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ بَلَغَ بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ لَهُ دَرَجَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ» قَالَ فَبَلَغَتْ يَوْمَئِذٍ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ سَهْمًا
✧ We besieged al-Ṭāʾif with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “Whoever reaches the enemy with an arrow in the way of Allah, it is a degree for him in Paradise.” He said, “That day it reached sixteen arrows.”
«مَنْ بَلَغَ الْعَدُوَّ بِسَهْمٍ رَفَعَ اللَّهُ بِهِ دَرَجَةً لَهُ» فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ النَّحَّامِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الدَّرَجَةُ؟ قَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِعَتَبَةِ أُمِّكَ مَا بَيْنَ الدَّرَجَتَيْنِ مِائَةُ عَامٍ»
✧ “Whoever reaches the enemy with an arrow, Allah raises him a degree by it.” ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. al-Naḥḥām said to him, “O Messenger of Allah, what is the degree?” He said, “Indeed it is not your mother’s threshold. Between each two degrees is one hundred years.”
«إِنَّ أَبْوَابَ الْجَنَّةِ تَحْتَ ظِلَالِ السُّيُوفِ» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ رَثَّ الْهَيْئَةِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُوسَى أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُهُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَجَاءَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ «أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامَ» ثُمَّ كَسَرَ جَفْنَ سَيْفِهِ فَأَلْقَاهُ ثُمَّ مَضَى بِسَيْفِهِ قُدُمَا فَضَرَبَ بِهِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ
✧ "Indeed, the gates of Paradise are beneath the shades of the swords." Then a man of disheveled appearance stood up and said, "O Abu Musa, did you hear the Prophet ﷺ say that?" He said, "Yes." He said, "Then he went to his companions and said, 'I bid you farewell.' Then he broke the scabbard of his sword and threw it away, and advanced with his sword, striking with it until he was killed.
«مَنْ قَاتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فُوَاقَ نَاقَةٍ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever fights in the cause of Allah, having faith, with perseverance, the reward of Paradise is guaranteed for him."
عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْجَنْبِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ فَضَالَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «أَنَا زَعِيمٌ وَالزَّعِيمُ الْحَمِيلُ لِمَنْ آمَنَ بِي وَأَسْلَمَ وَهَاجَرَ بِبَيْتٍ فِي رَبَضِ الْجَنَّةِ وَبَيْتٍ فِي وَسَطِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَنَا زَعِيمٌ لِمَنْ آمَنَ بِي وَأَسْلَمَ وَجَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِبَيْتٍ فِي رَبَضِ الْجَنَّةِ وَبَيْتٍ فِي وَسَطِ الْجَنَّةِ وَبَيْتٍ فِي أَعْلَى غُرَفِ الْجَنَّةِ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَدَعْ لِلْخَيْرِ مَطْلَبًا وَلَا مِنَ الشَّرِّ مَهْرَبًا يَمُوتُ حَيْثُ شَاءَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ»
✧ From 'Amr b. Malik al-Janbi that he heard Fadalah b. 'Ubayd al-Ansari saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "I am a guarantor, and the guarantor is the one who bears responsibility, for the one who believes in me, submits, and emigrates, of a house in the outskirts of Paradise and a house in the middle of Paradise. And I am a guarantor for the one who believes in me, submits, and strives in the way of Allah, of a house in the outskirts of Paradise, a house in the middle of Paradise, and a house in the highest chambers of Paradise. Whoever does that, he leaves no avenue for good unattained and no escape from evil unattained; he may die wherever he wishes to die."
خَطَبَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ أَلَا لَا تَغْلُوا صَدَاقَ النِّسَاءِ فَإِنَّهَا لَوْ كَانَتْ مَكْرُمَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا أَوْ تَقْوَى عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لَكَانَ أَوْلَاكُمْ وَأَحَقُّكُمْ بِهَا مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ مَا أَصْدَقَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَائِهِ وَلَا امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنَاتِهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنِ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً وَأُخْرَى تَقُولُونَهَا مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي مَغَازِيكُمْ مَاتَ فُلَانٌ شَهِيدًا فَلَا تَقُولُوا ذَاكَ وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ «مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ مَاتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ»
✧ Umar b. al-Khattab addressed us and said, "Indeed, do not be excessive in the dowries of women, for if it were a source of honor in this world or piety in the sight of Allah, Muhammad ﷺ would have been the foremost and most deserving of you in it. He never gave any of his wives or his daughters a dowry exceeding twelve uqiyyahs. And another thing you say: 'Whoever is killed in your battles, so-and-so died a martyr.' Do not say that, but say as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, or as Muhammad ﷺ said: 'Whoever is killed in the way of Allah or dies in the way of Allah is in Paradise.'"
«مَثَلُ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ الصَّائِمِ الْقَائِمِ الَّذِي لَا يَفْتُرُ مِنْ صِيَامٍ وَصَلَاةٍ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ»
✧ "The example of the one who strives in the way of Allah is like the one who fasts and stands in prayer, not slackening from fasting and prayer until he returns."
Sahih Ibn Hibban 4622Hasan sahih
«مَثَلُ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ الْقَانِتِ الصَّائِمِ الَّذِي لَا يَفْتُرُ صَلَاةً وَلَا صِيَامًا حَتَّى يَرْجِعَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ بِمَا يَرْجِعُهُ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ غَنِيمَةٍ أَوْ أَجْرٍ أَوْ يَتَوَفَّاهُ فَيُدْخِلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ»
✧ "The example of the one who strives in the way of Allah is like the one who is devoutly obedient, fasting, and does not slacken in prayer or fasting until Allah returns him to his family with whatever He returns him, whether spoils or reward, or takes him in death and admits him to Paradise."
أَنَّهُ مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ سَلْمَانُ وَهُوَ مُرَابِطٌ فَقَالَ مَا تَصْنَعُ هَاهُنَا يَا شُرَحْبِيلُ؟ فَقَالَ شُرَحْبِيلُ أُرَابِطُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَلْمَانُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «رِبَاطُ يَوْمٍ أَوْ لَيْلَةٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ صِيَامِ شَهْرٍ وَقِيَامِهِ»
Salman passed by ˹Shurahbil˺ while he was stationed for guarding and asked, "What are you doing here, Shurahabil?" Shurahabil replied, "I am performing ribat (guarding) in the cause of Allah." Salman said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'The act of guarding for a day or a night is better than fasting and praying for an entire month.'"
«كُلُّ مَيِّتٍ يُخْتَمُ عَلَى عَمَلِهِ إِلَّا الَّذِي مَاتَ مُرَابِطًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْمُو لَهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيَأْمَنُ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ»
✧ "Every deceased person's deeds are sealed, except the one who died standing guard in the way of Allah, for his deeds will continue to grow for him until the Day of Resurrection and he will be safe from the trial of the grave."
«مَنْ مَاتَ مُرَابِطًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أُومِنَ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ وَنَمَا لَهُ أَجْرُهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ»

قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنَا بِعَمَلٍ يَعْدِلُ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ «لَا تُطِيقُونَهُ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنَا لَعَلَّنَا نُطِيقُهُ قَالَ «مَثَلُ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ الصَّائِمِ الْقَائِمِ الْقَانِتِ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَا يَفْتُرُ مِنْ صَوْمٍ وَلَا صَدَقَةٍ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ الْمُجَاهِدُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ»
✧ They said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell us of an action that equals jihad in the way of Allah." He said, "You will not be able to do it." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell us, perhaps we will be able to do it." He said, "The example of the one who strives in the way of Allah is like the one who fasts, stands in prayer, and is devoutly obedient to the verses of Allah, not slackening from fasting or charity until the one who strives returns to his family."
«مَنْ أَظَلَّ رَأْسَ غَازٍ أَظَلَّهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ جَهَّزَ غَازِيًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لِجِهَادِهِ فَلَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِهِ وَمَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا يُذْكَرُ فِيهِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ»

✧ A man said: O Messenger of Allah, a man wants to fight in the path of Allah while he seeks some of the fleeting worldly goods? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: «He has no reward.» The people found that grave and said to the man: Go back to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, for perhaps you did not make him understand. So the man said: O Messenger of Allah, a man wants to fight in the path of Allah while he seeks some of the fleeting worldly goods? He said: «He has no reward.» The people found that grave and said to the man: Go back to the Messenger of Allah. Then he said to him the third time: A man wants to fight in the path of Allah while he seeks some of the fleeting worldly goods? He said: «He has no reward.»
«مَنْ غَزَا وَلَا يَنْوِي فِي غَزَاتِهِ إِلَّا عِقَالًا فَلَهُ مَا نَوَى»
"Whoever fights seeking only an 'Iqal, then he will have what he intended." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3139)
قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ يُعْقَرَ جَوَادُكَ وَيُهْرَاقَ دَمُكَ»
✧ A man said: O Messenger of Allah, which jihad is best? He said: «That your horse be hamstrung and your blood be spilled.»
أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي بِنَا فَقَالَ حِينَ انْتَهَى إِلَى الصَّفِّ اللَّهُمَّ آتِنِي أَفْضَلَ مَا تُؤْتِي عِبَادَكَ الصَّالِحِينَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ «مَنِ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ آنِفًا؟ » فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِذَا يُعْقَرُ جَوَادُكَ وَتُسْتَشْهَدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ»
✧ A man came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was leading us in prayer, and when he reached the row he said: O Allah, give me the best of what You give Your righteous servants. When the Prophet ﷺ finished the prayer, he said: «Who was the one speaking just now?» The man said: I, O Messenger of Allah. The Prophet ﷺ said: «Then your horse will be hamstrung and you will be martyred in the path of Allah.»

✧ I was near the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and a man said, “I do not care if I do no deed after Islam except maintaining the Sacred Mosque.” Another said, “Jihad in the path of Allah is better than what you said.” Then Allah revealed: “Do you consider providing water to pilgrims and maintaining the Sacred Mosque like one who believes in Allah and the Last Day and strives in the path of Allah? They are not equal in the sight of Allah, and Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.”

✧ «Do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on the night of the full moon when there is no cloud?» They said: No, O Messenger of Allah. He said: «Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun at midday when there is no cloud?» They said: No, O Messenger of Allah. He said: «By the One in whose hand is my soul, you will have no difficulty in seeing your Lord just as you have no difficulty in seeing them.

He said: Then it will be said to him: Shall we not send Our witness against you? He said: Then he will think to himself who will testify against him. He said: Then his mouth will be sealed, and it will be said to his thigh: Speak. He said: Then his thigh, his flesh, and his bones will speak of what he used to do.

It will be said: O servant of Allah, O Muslim, this is good.» Abu Bakr said: O Messenger of Allah, that is for a servant who has no loss; he leaves one gate and enters from another.

He said, "Yes, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'No Muslim couple has three children who do not reach the age of puberty, but Allah will admit them to Paradise by His mercy.'" And I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'No man spends on his two wives in the cause of Allah, but the two gates of Paradise will be opened for him.'" I asked, "And what are the two wives from his wealth?" He said, "Two servants from his slaves, two horsemen from his horses, and two camels from his camels."

✧ I met Abu Dharr at al-Rabadhah while he had brought his riding camels to water, so he gave them to drink, then he brought them back. He had hung a water skin on the neck of one of his riding camels to drink from it and to give his companions drink. That is a trait from the traits of the Arabs. I said: O Abu Dharr, what is your wealth? He said: My wealth is my deeds. I said: O Abu Dharr, what did you hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say? He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Whoever spends a pair from his wealth, the gatekeepers of Paradise hasten to him." I said: O Abu Dharr, what are these two pairs? He said: If they are men, then two men; if they are horses, then two horses; if they are camels, then two camels, until he enumerated all types of wealth. I said: Tell me more, O Abu Dharr. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "There are no two Muslims for whom three children die but that Allah admits them into Paradise by His abundant mercy."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Yes." When he turned away, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him, or ordered someone to call him, and said: "What did you say?" He repeated his words, so the Prophet ﷺ said: "Yes, except for debt. Thus Gabriel ﷺ said to me."

«مَا يَجِدُ الشَّهِيدُ مَسَّ الْقَتْلِ إِلَّا كَمَا يَجِدُ أَحَدُكُمْ مَسَّ الْقَرْصَةِ»
✧ "The martyr does not feel the pain of being killed except like one of you feels the pain of a pinch."
«أَوَّلُ ثَلَاثَةٍ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ الشَّهِيدُ وَعَبْدٌ نَصَحَ سَيِّدَهُ وَأَحْسَنَ عِبَادَةَ رَبِّهِ وَضَعِيفٌ مُتَعَفِّفٌ وَأَوَّلُ ثَلَاثَةٍ يَدْخُلُونَ النَّارَ فَأَمِيرٌ مُسَلَّطٌ وَذُو ثَرْوَةٍ مِنْ مَالٍ لَا يُؤَدِّي حَقَّ اللَّهِ فِيهِ وَفَقِيرٌ فَخُورٌ»
✧ "The first three to enter Paradise: the martyr, a slave who is sincere to his master and perfects worship of his Lord, and a poor person who abstains from asking. The first three to enter the Fire: a tyrannical ruler, a wealthy person who does not pay Allah's right in his wealth, and a boastful poor person."
«نَسَمَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ طَائِرٌ يَعْلُقُ فِي شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَرُدَّهَا اللَّهُ إِلَى جَسَدِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»
✧ The soul of the believer is a bird that hangs in the trees of Paradise until Allah returns it to his body on the Day of Resurrection.
«الشُّهَدَاءُ عَلَى بَارِقِ نَهْرٍ بِبَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فِي قُبَّةٍ خَضْرَاءَ يَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِمْ رِزْقُهُمْ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The martyrs are on the banks of a flowing river near the gate of Paradise, in a green dome. Their provision comes to them from Paradise in the morning and evening."
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ «هَلْ رَأَى أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ رُؤْيَا؟ » فَسَأَلْنَا يَوْمًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «أُرِيتُ اللَّيْلَةَ رَجُلَيْنِ أَتَيَانِي فَأَخَذَا بِيَدِي فَصَعِدَا بِي فِي الشَّجَرَةِ فَأَدْخَلَانِي دَارًا لَمْ أَرَ قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ أَمَا هَذِهِ الدَّارُ فَدَارُ الشُّهَدَاءِ»
✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the morning prayer, he would turn his face toward us and say, 'Did any of you see a dream last night?' One day he asked us and then said, 'Last night I was shown two men who came to me, took me by the hand, and ascended with me into a tree. They brought me into a house the like of which I have never seen more beautiful. They said, "As for this house, it is the house of the martyrs."'
دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ وَنَحْنُ أَيْتَامٌ صِغَارٌ فَمَسَحَتْ رُءُوسَنَا وَقَالَتْ أَبْشِرُوا يَا بَنِيَّ فَإِنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا فِي شَفَاعَةِ أَبِيكُمْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الشَّهِيدُ يَشْفَعُ فِي سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ»
✧ We entered upon Umm al-Darda' while we were young orphans. She wiped our heads and said, 'Rejoice, O my sons, for I hope that you will be in the intercession of your father, for I heard Abu al-Darda' say: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "The martyr will intercede for seventy members of his household."'
«مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ يَسُرُّهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا الشَّهِيدُ فَإِنَّهُ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ لِيُقْتَلَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى»
✧ There is no one who enters Paradise who would be pleased to return to this world except the martyr, for he would love to return and be killed once again.
Sahih Ibn Hibban 4662No grade recorded
«مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا وَلَهُ مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا الشَّهِيدُ فَإِنَّهُ يَتَمَنَّى أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا فَيُقْتَلَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ لِمَا يَرَى مِنَ الْكَرَامَةِ»
✧ There is no one who enters Paradise who would love to return to this world even if he had everything on earth, except the martyr, for he wishes to return to this world and be killed ten times because of the honor he sees.
«الْقَتْلَى ثَلَاثَةٌ رَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ فَذَلِكَ الشَّهِيدُ الْمُمْتَحَنُ فِي خَيْمَةِ اللَّهِ تَحْتَ عَرْشِهِ وَلَا يَفْضُلُهُ النَّبِيُّونَ إِلَّا بِفَضْلِ دَرَجَةِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَرَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ قَرَفَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَالْخَطَايَا جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ فَتِلْكَ مَصْمَصَةٌ مَحَتْ ذُنُوبَهُ وَخَطَايَاهُ إِنَّ السَّيْفَ مَحَّاءٌ لِلْخَطَايَا وَأُدْخِلَ مِنْ أَيِّ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ شَاءَ فَإِنَّ لَهَا ثَمَانِيَةَ أَبْوَابٍ وَلِجَهَنَّمَ سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَابٍ وَبَعْضُهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَرَجُلٌ مُنَافِقٌ جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ فَذَلِكَ فِي النَّارِ إِنَّ السَّيْفَ لَا يَمْحُو النِّفَاقَ»
✧ The slain are of three types: a believing man who strives with his soul and wealth in the path of Allah, and when he meets the enemy he fights them until he is killed—that is the tested martyr in the tent of Allah beneath His Throne, and the prophets do not surpass him except by the rank of prophethood. A believing man who has brought sins and errors upon himself, who strives with his soul and wealth in the path of Allah, and when he meets the enemy he fights until he is killed—that is a purification that wipes away his sins and errors. Indeed the sword erases errors, and he will be admitted from whichever of the gates of Paradise he wishes, for it has eight gates, and Hell has seven gates, and some are better than others. And a hypocritical man who strives with his soul and wealth in the path of Allah, and when he meets the enemy he fights until he is killed—that one is in the Fire. Indeed the sword does not erase hypocrisy.
انْطَلَقَ حَارِثَةُ بْنُ عَمَّتِي نَظَّارًا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ مَا انْطَلَقَ لِقِتَالٍ فَأَصَابَهُ سَهْمٌ فَقَتَلَهُ فَجَاءَتْ عَمَّتِي أُمُّهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ابْنِي حَارِثَةُ إِنْ يَكُنْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَصْبِرْ وَأَحْتَسِبْ وَإِلَّا فَسَتَرَى مَا أَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَا أُمَّ حَارِثَةَ إِنَّهَا جِنَانٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَإِنَّ حَارِثَةَ فِي الْفِرْدَوْسِ الْأَعْلَى»
✧ Harithah, the son of my paternal aunt, went as a spectator on the day of Badr, not for fighting. An arrow struck him and killed him. My aunt, his mother, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, my son Harithah—if he is in Paradise, I will be patient and seek reward; otherwise, you will see what I do.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'O mother of Harithah, there are many Gardens, and Harithah is in the highest Firdaws.'
«لَا يَجْتَمِعُ الْكَافِرُ وَقَاتِلُهُ فِي النَّارِ أَبَدًا»
✧ The disbeliever and his killer will never gather together in the Fire in terms of eternal abiding.
«ضَحِكَ اللَّهُ مِنْ رَجُلَيْنِ قَتَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ وَكِلَاهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ»
✧ Allah laughs at two men, one of whom kills the other, and both are in Paradise.
«إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَضْحَكُ إِلَى رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتُلُ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ وَكِلَاهُمَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ يُقَاتِلُ هَذَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيُقْتَلُ ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْقَاتِلِ فَيُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيُسْتَشْهَدُ»
✧ Indeed Allah laughs at two men, one of whom kills the other, and both will enter Paradise: this one fights in the path of Allah and is killed, then Allah accepts the repentance of the killer, and he fights in the path of Allah and is martyred.

Anas said: "Allah revealed concerning those killed at Bi'r Ma'unah a Quran [passage] that we recited until it was later abrogated: Inform our people that we have met our Lord, and He is pleased with us and we are pleased with Him."

«الْبَرَكَةُ فِي نَوَاصِي الْخَيْلِ»
✧ Blessing is in the forelocks of horses.
«الْخَيْلُ ثَلَاثَةٌ هِيَ لِرَجُلٍ أَجْرٌ وَلِرَجُلٍ سِتْرٌ وَعَلَى رَجُلٍ وِزْرٌ»
✧ Horses are three kinds: for one man a reward, for another a covering, and for another a burden.
«الْخَيْلُ لِرَجُلٍ أَجْرٌ وَلِرَجُلٍ سِتْرٌ وَلِرَجُلٍ وِزْرٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِي هِيَ لَهُ أَجْرٌ فَرَجُلٌ رَبَطَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَأَطَالَ لَهَا فِي مَرْجٍ أَوْ رَوْضَةٍ فَمَا أَصَابَتْ فِي طِيَلِهَا ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْمَرْجِ أَوِ الرَّوْضَةِ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَسَنَاتٌ وَلَوْ أَنَّهَا قَطَعَتْ طِيَلَهَا فَاسْتَنَّتْ شَرَفًا أَوْ شَرَفَيْنِ كَانَتْ آثَارُهَا وَأَرْوَاثُهَا حَسَنَاتٌ لَهُ وَلَوْ أَنَّهَا مَرَّتْ بِنَهَرٍ فَشَرِبَتْ مِنْهُ وَلَمْ يَرُدْ أَنْ يَسْقِيَهُ كَانَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ حَسَنَاتٌ فَهِيَ لِذَلِكَ أَجْرٌ وَرَجُلٌ رَبَطَهَا تَغَنِّيًا وَتَعَفُّفًا وَلَمْ يَنْسَ حَقَّ اللَّهِ فِي رِقَابِهَا وَلَا ظُهُورِهَا فَهِيَ لِذَلِكَ سِتْرٌ وَرَجُلٌ رَبَطَهَا فَخْرًا وَرِيَاءً وَنِوَاءً لِأَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَهِيَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وِزْرٍ» وَسُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْحُمُرِ فَقَالَ «مَا أَنْزِلَ عَلَيَّ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ إِلَّا بِهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ الْجَامِعَةِ الْفَاذَّةِ {فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ} »
✧ Horses are for one man a reward, for another a covering, and for another a burden. As for the one for whom they are a reward, he is a man who ties them in the way of Allah and gives them a long rope in a meadow or garden. Whatever they eat within the length of their rope from that meadow or garden becomes good deeds for him. And if they break their rope and run a height or two, their tracks and dung become good deeds for him. If they pass by a river and drink from it, even if he did not intend to water them, that becomes good deeds for him. So they are a reward for him for that. And a man who ties them to be self-sufficient and to refrain from begging, and does not forget Allah's right upon their necks and their backs, then they are a covering for him for that. And a man who ties them out of pride, showing off, and enmity against the people of Islam, then they are a burden on him for that." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about donkeys and said: "Nothing has been revealed to me about them except this comprehensive and unique verse: 'So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it.'" (Quran 99:7-8)

✧ We went on a campaign with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the expedition of Tabuk, and the mounts suffered severe hardship. They complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the hardship of their mounts. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ waited for them at a narrow pass where the people marched, saying: 'Pass in the name of Allah.' He began to blow on their backs, saying: 'O Allah, carry them in Your way, for You carry on the strong and the weak, the moist and the dry, on land and at sea.'" Fadalah said: "When we reached Madinah, their reins began to pull us, so I said: 'This is the supplication of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ concerning the strong and the weak, but what about the moist and the dry?' When we reached Syria, we fought the campaign of Cyprus, and I saw the ships and what they carried, and I knew the supplication of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
أُهْدِيَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَغْلَةٌ فَأَعْجَبَتْهُ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنْزَيْنَا الْحُمُرَ عَلَى خَيْلِنَا فَجَاءَتْ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ»

Amir, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. A man from the Muslims charged at the Byzantine rank until he entered among them. The people shouted at him and said, ‘Glory be to Allah! You are throwing yourself into destruction with your own hand.’ Abu Ayyub al-Ansari stood up and said, ‘O people, you are interpreting this verse in this way. This verse was only revealed concerning us, the Ansar. When Allah strengthened Islam and increased its supporters, we said to one another secretly from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: “Our wealth has been lost, and Allah has strengthened Islam and increased its supporters. If only we stayed with our wealth and repaired what we had lost.” Then Allah revealed to His Prophet ﷺ, refuting what we had said: “And spend in the way of Allah and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction. And do good; indeed, Allah loves the doers of good.” So destruction was staying with our wealth and repairing it and abandoning raiding.’”

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ consulted the people during the days of Badr. Abu Bakr spoke and diverted from him. Then Umar spoke and diverted from him. Sa'd b. Ubadah said, "O Messenger of Allah, do you mean us? If you commanded us to plunge into the sea, we would plunge, or to strike its flanks to Birk al-Ghimad, we would do it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ summoned his companions and set off to Badr. They came upon water skins belonging to Quraysh, among which was a black slave of Banu al-Hajjaj. The companions of the Prophet ﷺ seized him and began asking him, "Where is Abu Sufyan? Where did you leave him?" He would say, "By Allah, I have no knowledge of Abu Sufyan. This is Quraysh: Abu Jahl b. Hisham, Utbah b. Rabi'ah, Shaybah b. Rabi'ah, and Umayyah b. Khalaf." When he said that, they beat him. He said, "Leave me, leave me, I will tell you." When they left him, he said, "By Allah, I have no knowledge of Abu Sufyan, but this is Quraysh approaching. Among them are Abu Jahl, Utbah and Shaybah sons of Rabi'ah, and Umayyah b. Khalaf. They have come." The Prophet ﷺ was praying, then finished and said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, you strike him when he tells you the truth and leave him when he lies to you. This is Quraysh approaching to protect Abu Sufyan." He ﷺ pointed with his hand to the ground and said, "This is the place where so-and-so will fall tomorrow, and this is the place where so-and-so will fall tomorrow." Anas said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, not one of them moved from his place of death."

I wish I could fight in the cause of Allah and be killed, then brought to life and killed, then brought to life and killed.
«وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَا قَعَدْتُ خَلْفَ سَرِيَّةٍ تَغْزُو فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَبَدًا وَلَكِنْ لَا أَجِدُ سَعَةً فَأَحْمِلُهُمْ وَلَا يَجِدُونَ سَعَةً فَيَخْرُجُونَ وَيَشُقُّ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّفُوا بَعْدِي وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي أَغْزُو فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَأُقْتَلُ ثُمَّ أَحْيَا فَأُقْتَلُ» قَالَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثًا

By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, I wish I could raid in the cause of Allah and be killed, then brought to life and killed. He said that three times.

✧ On the Day of the Confederates—or the Day of Uhud—when we met the polytheists, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seated a group of archers and appointed 'Abd Allah b. Jubayr over them, saying, 'Do not leave your place. If you see that we have prevailed over them, or if you see that they have prevailed over us, do not come to our aid.' When we met the enemy and the Muslims routed them, until you could see the women hurrying up the mountain, having lifted their garments so that their anklets showed, they began to turn back, saying, 'The spoils! The spoils!' 'Abd Allah said to them, 'Wait! Do you not know what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ instructed you?' But they went on. When they joined the enemy, Allah turned their faces, and ninety of the Muslims were killed. Then Abu Sufyan looked down upon us from an elevated place and said, 'Is Muhammad among the people?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do not answer him.' Then he said, 'Is Ibn Abi Quhafah among the people?' three times. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do not answer him.' Then he said, 'Is 'Umar b. al-Khattab among the people?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do not answer him.' Abu Sufyan turned to his companions and said, 'These have been killed; if they were alive, they would answer.' 'Umar could not control himself and said, 'You lie, O enemy of Allah! Allah has kept for you what will disgrace you.' Abu Sufyan said, 'Exalted be Hubal! Exalted be Hubal!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Answer him.' They said, 'What should we say?' He said, 'Say: Allah is higher and more exalted.' Abu Sufyan said, 'We have al-'Uzza, and you have no 'Uzza.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Answer him.' They said, 'What should we say?' He said, 'Say: Allah is our protector, and you have no protector.' Abu Sufyan said, 'A day for the day of Badr, and war has its ups and downs. You will find mutilation among the people that I did not command nor did it displease me.'
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا بَعَثَ أَمِيرًا عَلَى جَيْشٍ أَوْ سَرِيَّةٍ أَوْصَاهُ فِي خَاصَّةِ نَفْسِهِ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَيْرًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «اغْزُوا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَاتِلُوا مَنْ كَفَرَ بِاللَّهِ وَلَا تَغُلُّوا وَلَا تَغْدِرُوا وَلَا تُمَثِّلُوا وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا وَلِيدًا وَإِذَا لَقِيتَ عَدُوَّكَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَادْعُهُمْ إِلَى إِحْدَى ثَلَاثِ خِصَالٍ أَوْ خِلَالٍ فَأَيَّتُهُنَّ مَا أَجَابُوكَ إِلَيْهَا فَاقْبَلْ مِنْهُمْ وَكُفَّ عَنْهُمُ ادْعُهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَإِنْ هُمْ أَجَابُوكَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ فَاقْبَلْ مِنْهُمْ وَكُفَّ عَنْهُمْ ثُمَّ ادْعُهُمْ إِلَى التَّحَوُّلِ مِنْ دَارِهِمْ إِلَى دَارِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَإِنْ أَبَوْا أَنْ يَتَحَوَّلُوا فَأَعْلِمْهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ يَكُونُونَ كَأَعْرَابِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ يَجْرِي عَلَيْهِمْ حُكْمُ اللَّهِ الَّذِي يَجْرِي عَلَى الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَإِنْ هُمْ أَجَابُوكَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ فَاقْبَلْ مِنْهُمْ فَإِنْ هُمْ أَبَوْا فَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ قَاتِلْهُمْ وَإِذَا حَاصَرْتَ أَهْلَ حِصْنٍ فَأَرَادُوكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لَهُمْ ذِمَّةَ اللَّهِ وَذِمَّةَ رَسُولِهِ فَلَا تَجْعَلْ لَهُمْ ذِمَّةَ اللَّهِ وَلَا ذِمَّةَ رَسُولِهِ وَاجْعَلْ لَهُمْ ذِمَّتَكَ وَذِمَّةَ آبَائِكَ وَذِمَّةَ أَصْحَابِكَ فَإِنَّكُمْ إِنْ تُخْفِرُوا ذِمَمَكُمْ وَذِمَمَ آبَائِكُمْ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ أَنْ تُخْفِرُوا ذِمَّةَ اللَّهِ وَذِمَّةَ رَسُولِهِ ﷺ وَإِذَا حَاصَرْتَ أَهْلَ حِصْنٍ فَأَرَادُوكَ أَنْ تُنْزِلُوهُمْ عَلَى حُكْمِ اللَّهِ فَلَا تُنْزِلُوهُمْ عَلَى حُكْمِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ أَتُصِيبُونَ حُكْمَ اللَّهِ فِيهِمْ أَمْ لَا»
✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an commander over an army or an expedition, he would instruct him personally to fear Allah and to treat the Muslims with him well. Then he would say, 'Raid in the name of Allah, in the cause of Allah. Fight those who disbelieve in Allah. Do not steal from the spoils, do not act treacherously, do not mutilate, and do not kill a child. When you meet your enemy among the polytheists, call them to one of three options. Whichever of them they accept, accept from them and refrain from them. Call them to Islam. If they accept that, accept from them and refrain from them. Then call them to move from their land to the land of the emigrants. If they refuse to move, inform them that if they do so, they will be like the Bedouin emigrants: the ruling of Allah that applies to the emigrants will apply to them. If they accept that, accept from them. If they refuse, seek help from Allah against them and then fight them. When you besiege the people of a fortress and they ask you to grant them the covenant of Allah and the covenant of His Messenger, do not grant them the covenant of Allah or the covenant of His Messenger, but grant them your covenant and the covenant of your fathers and the covenant of your companions. For you breaking your covenants and the covenants of your fathers is lighter for you than breaking the covenant of Allah and the covenant of His Messenger ﷺ. When you besiege the people of a fortress and they ask you to bring them down according to the judgment of Allah, do not bring them down according to the judgment of Allah, for you do not know whether you will attain the judgment of Allah regarding them or not.'
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَرِيَّةً فَسَلَّحَ رَجُلًا سَيْفًا فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفْنَا مَا رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ مَا لَامَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَعَجَزْتُمْ إِذَا أَمَّرْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ رَجُلًا فَلَمْ يَمْضِ لِأَمْرِي الَّذِي أَمَرْتُ أَوْ نَهَيْتُ أَنْ تَجْعَلُوا مَكَانَهُ آخَرَ يُمْضِي أَمْرِي الَّذِي أَمَرْتُ؟ »
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an expedition and armed a man with a sword. When we returned, I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ blame us as he did. He said, 'Were you unable, when I appointed a man over you and he did not carry out my command, whether I commanded or forbade, to put another in his place who would carry out my command?'
أَمَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ مُؤْتَةَ زَيْدَ بْنَ حَارِثَةَ وَقَالَ «إِنْ قُتِلَ زَيْدٌ فَجَعْفَرٌ وَإِنْ قُتِلَ جَعْفَرٌ فَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ» قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ كُنْتُ مَعَهُمْ تِلْكَ الْغَزْوَةِ فَالْتَمَسْنَا جَعْفَرَ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ فِي الْقَتْلَى وَوَجَدْنَا فِيمَا نِيلَ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ بِضْعًا وَسَبْعِينَ ضَرْبَةً وَرَمْيَةً
✧ In the expedition of Mu'tah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed Zayd b. Harithah as commander and said, 'If Zayd is killed, then Ja'far; if Ja'far is killed, then 'Abd Allah b. Rawahah.' 'Abd Allah said: I was with them in that expedition. We looked for Ja'far b. Abi Talib and found him among the slain. We found on his body more than seventy wounds from strikes and thrusts.
«أَذِنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالرَّحِيلِ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ لِلَيْلَتَيْنِ خَلَتَا مِنْ رَمَضَانِ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ announced departure in the year of the conquest when two nights of Ramadan had passed.
«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ وَلِوَاؤُهُ أَبْيَضُ»
✧ The Prophet ﷺ entered in the year of the conquest with a white banner.
«غَزَوْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ حِينَ بَعَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَيْنَا فَبَيَّتْنَا أُنَاسًا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَتَلْنَاهُمْ وَكَانَ شِعَارُنَا أَمِتْ أَمِتْ» قَالَ فَقَتَلْتُ بِيَدِي سَبْعَةَ أَهْلِ أَبْيَاتٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
✧ I raided with Abu Bakr when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him over us. We attacked some polytheists at night and killed them. Our watchword was 'Amit! Amit!' I killed with my own hand seven people of the polytheist households.
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا غَزَا قَوْمًا لَمْ يَغْزُ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ فَيَنْظُرَ فَإِنْ سَمِعَ أَذَانًا كَفَّ عَنْهُمْ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ أَذَانًا أَغَارَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ فَخَرَجْنَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَيْهِمْ لَيْلًا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ أَذَانًا رَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرَكِبْتُ خَلْفَ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ وَإِنَّ قَدَمَيَّ لَتَمَسُّ قَدَمَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجُوا عَلَيْنَا بِمَكَاتِلِهِمْ وَمَسَاحِيهِمْ فَلَمَّا رَأَوَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالُوا مُحَمَّدٌ وَاللَّهِ مُحَمَّدٌ وَالْخَمِيسُ فَلَمَّا رَآهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ «اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ خَرِبَتْ خَيْبَرُ إِنَّا إِذَا نَزَلْنَا بِسَاحَةِ قَوْمٍ فَسَاءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ»
✧ The Prophet ﷺ, when he raided a people, would not raid until morning. Then he would look: if he heard a call to prayer, he refrained from them; and if he did not hear a call to prayer, he attacked them. He said: We went out to Khaybar, and we reached them at night. When morning came and he did not hear a call to prayer, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mounted, and I mounted behind Abu Talhah, and indeed my feet were touching the foot of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They came out to us with their baskets and shovels. When they saw the Prophet ﷺ, they said, "Muhammad, by Allah, Muhammad and the army!" When the Prophet ﷺ saw them, he said, "Allah is greatest! Allah is greatest! Khaybar is ruined. When we descend upon the courtyard of a people, evil is the morning of those warned."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ إِلَى خَيْبَرَ لَيْلًا وَكَانَ إِذَا جَاءَ قَوْمًا بِلَيْلٍ لَمْ يُغِرْ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ خَرَجَتْ يَهُودُ بِمَسَاحِيهَا وَمَكَاتِلِهَا فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ قَالُوا مُحَمَّدٌ وَالْخَمِيسُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ خَرِبَتْ خَيْبَرُ إِنَّا إِذَا نَزَلْنَا بِسَاحَةِ قَوْمٍ فَسَاءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to Khaybar at night. When he came upon a people at night, he would not attack until morning. He said: When morning came, the Jews came out with their shovels and baskets. When they saw him, they said, "Muhammad and the army!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah is greatest! Khaybar is ruined. When we descend upon the courtyard of a people, evil is the morning of those warned."
«أَمَّرَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَغَزَوْنَا نَاسًا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَبَيَّتْنَاهُمْ وَقَتَلْنَاهُمْ وَكَانَ شِعَارُنَا أَمِتْ أَمِتْ» قَالَ سَلَمَةُ فَقَتَلْتُ بِيَدِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ سَبْعَةَ أَهْلِ أَبْيَاتٍ
✧ "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed Abu Bakr as commander over us. We raided some people from the polytheists, and we attacked them by night and killed them. Our war cry was 'Kill! Kill!'" Salamah said: "I killed with my own hand that night seven people of households."
«كَانَ شِعَارُنَا لَيْلَةَ بَيَّتْنَا فِيهَا هَوَازِنَ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَمَّرَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَيْنَا أَمِتْ أَمِتْ قَالَ » فَقَتَلْتُ بِيَدِي لَيْلَتَئِذٍ سَبْعَةَ أَهْلِ أَبْيَاتٍ
✧ "Our war cry on the night we attacked Hawazin with Abu Bakr, whom the Prophet ﷺ appointed over us, was 'Kill! Kill!'" He said: "I killed with my own hand that night seven people of households."

بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ إِلَى جَذِيمَةَ فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَلَمْ يُحْسِنُوا أَنْ يَقُولُوا أَسْلَمْنَا فَجَعَلُوا يَقُولُونَ صَبَأْنَا صَبَأْنَا وَجَعَلَ خَالِدٌ يَأْخُذَهُمْ أَسْرًا وَقَتْلًا وَدَفَعَ إِلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا أَسِيرًا حَتَّى كَانَ يَوْمًا قَالَ خَالِدٌ لِيَقْتُلْ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ أَسِيرَهُ فَقَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذُكِرَ لَهُ صَنِيعُ خَالِدٍ فَرَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَيْهِ وَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا صَنَعَ خَالِدٌ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Khalid b. al-Walid to Judhaymah. He invited them to Islam, but they were not good at saying "We have become Muslims," so they started saying, "We have turned renegade! We have turned renegade!" Khalid began taking them as captives and killing them, and he gave each man among us a captive. Then one day Khalid said, "Let each man among you kill his captive." We came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and what Khalid had done was mentioned to him. The Prophet ﷺ raised his hands and said, "O Allah, I disassociate myself to You from what Khalid has done."
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقِيتُ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَطَعَ يَدِي ثُمَّ لَاذَ مِنِّي بِشَجَرَةٍ فَقَالَ أَسْلَمْتُ لِلَّهِ أَأَقْتُلُهُ؟ قَالَ «لَا» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ قَطَعَ يَدِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَقْتُلْهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ قَتَلْتَهُ كَانَ بِمَنْزِلَتِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقْتُلَهُ وَكُنْتَ بِمَنْزِلَتِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُولَ كَلِمَتَهُ الَّتِي قَالَ»
✧ I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I met a man from the polytheists, and he cut off my hand. Then he took refuge from me behind a tree and said, 'I have submitted to Allah.' Should I kill him?" He said, "No." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, he cut off my hand." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not kill him, for if you kill him, he would be in the position you were in before you killed him, and you would be in the position he was in before he uttered the word he said."
بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْحُرَقَةِ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ فَصَبَّحْنَا الْقَوْمَ فَهَزَمْنَاهُمْ قَالَ وَلَحِقْتُ أَنَا وَرَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ فَلَمَّا غَشِينَاهُ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَكَفَّ عَنْهُ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ وَطَعَنْتُهُ بِرُمْحِي فَقَتَلْتُهُ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا بَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا أُسَامَةُ قَتَلْتُهُ بَعْدَمَا قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ؟ » قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا قَالَ مُتَعَوِّذًا فَقَالَ «طَعَنْتَهُ بَعْدَمَا قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ؟ » فَمَا زَالَ يُكَرِّرُهَا حَتَّى تَمَنَّيْتُ أَنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَسْلَمْتُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us to al-Huraqah of Juhaynah. We raided the people in the morning and defeated them. He said: I and a man from the Ansar caught up with one of their men. When we overwhelmed him, he said, "There is no god but Allah." The Ansari withheld from him, but I stabbed him with my spear and killed him. When we returned, that reached the Prophet ﷺ. He said, "O Usamah, you killed him after he said 'There is no god but Allah'?" He said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, he only said it to protect himself." He said, "You stabbed him after he said 'There is no god but Allah'?" He kept repeating it until I wished I had not become Muslim before that day.
«مَرَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ عَلَى نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ غَنَمٌ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالُوا مَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا لِيَتَعَوَّذَ مِنْكُمْ فَعَدَوْا عَلَيْهِ فَقَتَلُوهُ وَأَخَذُوا غَنَمَهُ فَأَتَوْا بِهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَتَبَيَّنُوا} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ »
✧ "A man from Banu Sulaym passed by a group of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with some sheep. He greeted them with salam. They said, 'He did not greet you except to protect himself from you.' So they attacked him, killed him, and took his sheep. They brought them to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Allah revealed: {O you who believe, when you go forth in the cause of Allah, investigate carefully} to the end of the verse."
كَانَ يُغِيرُ عِنْدَ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ فَيَتَسَمَّعُ فَإِنْ سَمِعَ أَذَانًا أَمْسَكَ وَإِلَّا أَغَارَ قَالَ فَاسْتَمَعَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ فَقَالَ «الْفِطْرَةُ» فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَقَالَ «خَرَجَ مِنَ النَّارِ»
That the Prophet ﷺ would not attack except near the time of Fajr, so if he heard the Adhan he would refrain, and if not, then he would attack. So he listened one day and heard a man saying: "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar," so he said: "Upon the Fitrah." Then he said: "I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah." So he said: "You have departed from the Fire." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1618)

✧ "O Allah, bless my community in its early mornings." He said: When he dispatched a raiding party or an army, he would send them at the beginning of the day.

✧ Delegations came to Mu'awiya in Ramadan, I being among them along with Abu Hurayra. Some of us would prepare food for others, and Abu Hurayra would often invite us to his camp. I said: If I prepare food and then invite them to my camp. So I ordered food and it was prepared. Then I met Abu Hurayra in the evening and said: O Abu Hurayra, tonight the invitation is with me. He said: You have preceded me. He (the narrator) said: So I invited them to my camp, when Abu Hurayra said: Shall I not mount you (i.e., give you a ride) or talk to you? I will narrate to you a hadith from your own hadiths, O assembly of the Ansar, until the food is ready. Then he mentioned the conquest of Makkah and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ approached and entered Makkah. He sent al-Zubayr to one of the two flanks and sent Khalid b. al-Walid to the left flank, and sent Abu Ubayda to the unarmored ones. They took the valley while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in his battalion. Quraysh had sent their rabble and their followers, and they said: We will put these forward; if they gain something, we will be with them, and if they are struck, we will give what they ask. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked and saw me, and said: 'O Abu Hurayra, call out to the Ansar; let no one come to me except an Ansari.' So he called out to them, and they came and surrounded the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Do you not see the rabble of Quraysh and their followers?' He struck with his right hand, the one next to the little finger, on the middle of his left hand, and said: 'Reap them like harvest until you meet me at al-Safa.' Abu Hurayra said: We set out, and none of us wished to kill any of them whom he wished except that he killed him, and none of them directed anything at us. Abu Sufyan said: O Messenger of Allah, the green (youth) of Quraysh has been made lawful; there is no Quraysh after today. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever closes his door is safe, and whoever enters the house of Abu Sufyan is safe.' So they closed their doors. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came until he touched the Stone and circumambulated the House, and in his hand was a bow; he was holding the bow. Beside the House there was an idol which they used to worship. The Prophet ﷺ began to stab it in its side with the bow and said: 'Truth has come and falsehood has vanished.' When he finished his circumambulation, he came to al-Safa and ascended to where he could see the House. He ﷺ began raising his hand and began praising Allah and mentioning what he wished to mention, while the Ansar were below him. Some of them said to others: As for the man, desire for his town and compassion for his clan have overtaken him. Then revelation descended upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abu Hurayra said: It was not hidden from us when revelation descended; none of us would look at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but rather he would lower his head until the revelation ended. When the revelation was finished, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'O assembly of the Ansar, you said: As for the man, desire for his town and compassion for his clan have overtaken him.' They said: We said that, O Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'No, indeed I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger. I migrated to Allah and to you. My life is your life and my death is your death.' So they came forward weeping and said: By Allah, we did not say what we said except out of reluctance to part with Allah and His Messenger. He said: 'Indeed Allah and His Messenger believe you and excuse you.'

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went on a military expedition, he would say: 'O Allah, You are my support and You are my helper, and by You I fight.'

✧ Of jealousy there is some that Allah hates and some that Allah loves; and of pride there is some that Allah loves and some that Allah hates. The jealousy that Allah loves is jealousy in religion; the jealousy that Allah hates is jealousy in other than His religion. The pride that Allah loves is a man's pride in himself at the time of fighting and at the time of charity; and the pride that Allah hates is pride in falsehood.

✧ We were sitting with Abdullah while he was reclining among us. A man came to him and said: There is a storyteller telling stories at the gates of Kinda, claiming that the verse of the Smoke will come and seize the breaths of the disbelievers, and the believers will get from it something like a cold. Abdullah sat up, angry, and said: O people, fear Allah. Whoever among you knows something, let him say it; and whoever does not know, let him say: Allah knows best. For it is better for one of you to say about what he does not know: Allah knows best. Allah, Mighty and Exalted, said to His Prophet ﷺ: {Say: I do not ask you for any reward for it, and I am not of the pretentious} (Surah Sad 38:86). When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw people turning away, he said: 'O Allah, seven years like the seven of Joseph.' Then a year (of famine) seized them until they ate carrion and hides, and one of them would look at the sky and see something like smoke. Abu Sufyan came to him and said: O Muhammad, you have come commanding obedience to Allah and maintaining kinship, and your people have perished from hunger, so supplicate to Allah for them. Allah, Mighty and Exalted, said: {So watch for the day when the sky will bring a visible smoke} (Surah al-Dukhan 44:10), {The day We seize with the greatest seizure; indeed, We will take retribution} (Surah al-Dukhan 44:16). The seizure is the day of Badr, and the verse of the smoke, the seizure, the punishment, and the Romans have passed.
كَانَ إِذَا أَصَابَ قَوْمًا قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَجْعَلُكَ فِي نُحُورِهِمْ وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شُرُورِهِمْ»

✧ I witnessed al-Yarmuk, and over it were five commanders: Abu Ubayda b. al-Jarrah, Yazid b. Abi Sufyan, Shurahbil b. Hasana, Khalid b. al-Walid, and Iyad—not the Iyad who is the companion of the hadith that Simak narrates from. Umar, ؓ, said: When there is fighting, Abu Ubayda is in charge of you. He (the narrator) said: So we wrote to him that death has surged upon us and we requested reinforcements. He wrote back: Your letter requesting reinforcements has come to me, and I direct you to what is greater in victory and more fortified in soldiers: Allah. So seek His help, for Muhammad ﷺ was granted victory with fewer than your number. When my letter reaches you, fight them and do not refer back to me. He (the narrator) said: So we fought them, routed them, and killed them for four farsakhs, and we seized wealth. They consulted, and Iyad suggested ten dirhams per head. Abu Ubayda said: Who will race me? A young man said: I will, if you do not get angry. He said: So he beat him, and I saw the two braids of Abu Ubayda bouncing while he was behind him on an Arab horse.

✧ On the day of Hunayn, Hawazin and Ghatafan came with their children and cattle, and with the Prophet ﷺ were ten thousand, and with him were the freed ones. They turned away from him until he remained alone. He said: That day he called out twice without mixing anything between them. He turned to his right and said: 'O assembly of the Ansar.' They said: At your service, O Messenger of Allah, rejoice, we are with you. Then he turned to his left and said: 'O assembly of the Ansar.' They said: At your service, O Messenger of Allah, rejoice, we are with you. He said: And he was on a white mule. He dismounted and said: I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger. Then the polytheists were defeated, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ obtained much booty. He distributed it among the Muhajirun and the freed ones, and did not give the Ansar anything. The Ansar said: When there is hardship, we are there, but he gives the booty to others. That reached him, so he gathered them in a tent and said: 'O assembly of the Ansar, what is this talk that has reached me?' They remained silent. He said: 'O assembly of the Ansar, are you not pleased that the people go with sheep and you go with Muhammad ﷺ to your houses?' They said: We are pleased, O Messenger of Allah. He said: 'If the people were to go through a valley and the Ansar through a mountain pass, I would take the mountain pass of the Ansar.'

✧ A man from Qays said to al-Bara' b. Azib: Did you flee from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Hunayn? Al-Bara' said: But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not flee. Hawazin were archers. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a white mule, and Abu Sufyan b. al-Harith was holding its bridle, and he ﷺ was saying: 'I am the Prophet, no lie; I am the son of Abd al-Muttalib.'

✧ Three people Allah loves: A man who came to a people and asked them by Allah, not by kinship between them and him, and a man lagged behind them and gave him secretly, no one knowing of his gift except Allah and the one to whom he gave; and a people who traveled at night until sleep was dearer to them, so they dismounted and laid down their heads, but he stood flattering Me and reciting My verses; and a man who was in a raiding party and they met the enemy and were defeated, but he advanced with his chest until he was killed or victory was granted to them.

✧ Anas b. al-Nadr was absent from the fighting at Badr and said, “I was absent from the first battle the Prophet ﷺ witnessed. By Allah, if Allah shows me a fight, He will see what I do.” Then on the day of Uhud, the companions of the Prophet ﷺ were routed, and Saʿd b. Muʿādh came forward saying, “Where? Where? By the One in whose hand is my soul, I find the scent of Paradise before Uhud.” He said, so he charged and fought and was killed. Saʿd said, “By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I could not do what he did.” His sister said, “By Allah, I did not recognize my brother except by the beauty of his fingertips.” They found in him eighty-some wounds, from sword strikes, arrow shots, and spear thrusts. Then Allah revealed: “Among the believers are men who have been true to what they pledged to Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their vow, and some are still waiting, and they have not changed in the least.” Ḥammād said, “And I read in Ubayy’s codex: ‘And among them are those who changed in the least.’”
«افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يُقَاتِلَ الْوَاحِدُ عَشْرَةً فَثَقُلَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَوَضَعَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُمْ إِلَى أَنْ يُقَاتِلَ الْوَاحِدُ رَجُلَيْنِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ {إِنْ يَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ عِشْرُونَ صَابِرُونَ} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ {لَوْلَا كِتَابٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ} يَعْنِي غَنَائِمَ بَدْرٍ لَوْلَا أَنِّي لَا أُعَذِّبُ مَنْ عَصَانِي حَتَّى أَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ
✧ “Allah obligated them to fight one against ten, and that was heavy and hard for them, so He reduced it for them to one fighting two. Regarding that, Allah revealed: ‘If there are twenty patient ones among you’ to the end of the verse. Then He said: ‘Had it not been for a prior decree from Allah, a great punishment would have touched you for what you took’—meaning the spoils of Badr, ‘had it not been that I do not punish those who disobey Me until I have given them prior warning.’”

✧ We set out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, unaware of the people who had gathered an army against us. We faced the valley of Ḥunayn in the darkness of dawn—it is a hollow valley among the valleys of Tihāmah; they descend into it steeply. By Allah, the people were moving along, knowing nothing, when suddenly battalions came at them from every side. The people did not wait but fled, turning back. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ moved to the right and said, “Where are you, people? I am the Messenger of Allah, I am Muḥammad b. ʿAbd Allāh.” Before Hawāzin was a huge man on a red camel, holding a black banner: when he caught up with someone, he thrust it; when something escaped before him, he pushed it from behind. ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib, ؓ, and a man from the Anṣār lay in wait for him, both seeking him. ʿAlī struck the camel’s hamstrings, so it fell on its hindquarters, and the Anṣārī struck his shin, cutting off his foot with half his shin. He fell, and the people fought until the rout came. The maternal brother of Ṣafwān b. Umayyah said, “Indeed, magic is void today.” Ṣafwān b. Umayyah was then a polytheist, during the period the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had set for him. Ṣafwān said to him, “Be quiet, may Allah break your mouth! By Allah, a man of Quraysh ruling over me is dearer to me than a man of Hawāzin ruling over me.”

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered on the day of Badr that twenty-four men of the leading nobles of Quraysh be thrown into a dry well of Badr. When he gained victory over a people, he liked to stay in their courtyard for three nights. On the third day, he ordered his riding camel to be saddled; he mounted it, then walked, and his companions followed him. They said, “We think he is going only for some need of his,” until he stood at the edge of the well and began calling them by their names and their fathers’ names: “O so-and-so son of so-and-so, would it please you that you had obeyed Allah and His Messenger? We have found what our Lord promised us to be true; have you found what your Lord promised you to be true?” ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb, ؓ, said, “O Messenger of Allah, do you speak to bodies that have no spirits?” The Prophet ﷺ said, “By the One in whose hand is my soul, you are no better at hearing what I say than they are.” Qatādah said, “Allah revived them so that He could make them hear rebuke, belittlement, vengeance, regret, and remorse.”

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ besieged the people of al-Ṭāʾif and gained nothing from them. He said, “We are returning, if Allah wills.” His companions said, “We return without conquering?” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Go out to fight in the morning.” They went out and were wounded. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them, “We are returning tomorrow.” That pleased them, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed.
«عُرِضْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ قُرَيْظَةَ فَشَكَّوْا فِيَّ فَقِيلَ لِي هَلْ أَنْبَتَّ فَفَتَّشُونِي فَوَجَدُونِي لَمْ أُنْبِتْ فَخُلِّيَ سَبِيلِي»
✧ “I was presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Qurayẓah, and they doubted me. It was said to me, ‘Have you grown pubic hair?’ They examined me and found I had not, so I was set free.”

✧ I was among those concerning whom Saʿd b. Muʿādh judged. They doubted whether I was a minor or a combatant. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Look: if he has grown pubic hair, then kill him; otherwise, do not kill him.”
«كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ حَكَمَ فِيهِمْ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَلَمْ يَجِدُونِي أَنْبَتُّ فَاسْتُبْقِيتُ فَهَا أَنَا ذَا»
✧ “I was among those concerning whom Saʿd b. Muʿādh judged. They did not find that I had grown pubic hair, so I was spared. Here I am.”

✧ “I was the first concerning whom Saʿd judged. I was brought, and I thought he would kill me. They uncovered my pubic area and found I had not grown hair, so they put me among the captives.”
رُمِيَ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَطَعُوا أَكْحَلَهُ فَحَسَمَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالنَّارِ فَانْتَفَخَتْ يَدُهُ فَتَرَكَهُ فَنَزَفَ الدَّمُ فَحَسَمَهُ أُخْرَى فَانْتَفَخَتْ يَدُهُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُخْرِجْ نَفْسِي حَتَّى تَقَرَّ عَيْنِي مِنْ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ فَاسْتَمْسَكَ عِرْقُهُ فَمَا قَطَرَ قَطْرَةً حَتَّى نَزَلُوا عَلَى حُكْمِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ تُقْتَلُ رِجَالُهُمْ وَتُسْتَحْيَى نِسَاؤُهُمْ وَذَرَارِيُّهُمْ فَغَنِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَصَبْتَ حُكْمَ اللَّهِ فِيهِمْ وَكَانُوا أَرْبَعَ مِائَةٍ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ قَتْلِهِمْ انْفَتَقَ عِرْقُهُ فَمَاتَ»
✧ On the Day of the Confederates, Sa'd b. Mu'adh was shot, and they severed his median cubital vein. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ cauterized it with fire. His hand became swollen, so he left it, and the blood kept flowing. He cauterized it another time, and his hand became swollen. When he saw that, he said: 'O Allah, do not take my soul until my eye is cooled regarding Banu Qurayzah.' His vein then held fast, and not a drop fell until they surrendered to the judgment of Sa'd b. Mu'adh. He sent word concerning them, saying: 'Their men are to be killed, and their women and children are to be spared.' The Muslims took them as spoils. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'You have hit upon Allah's judgment concerning them.' They were four hundred. When he finished killing them, his vein burst open, and he died.
«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَأَى فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ امْرَأَةً مَقْتُولَةً فَنَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ النِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw, on one of his journeys, a slain woman, and he forbade killing women and children.

✧ I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the children of the polytheists, whether we should kill them along with them. He said: 'Yes, for they are of them.' Then he forbade it on the day of Hunayn.
«كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ حَكَمَ فِيهِمْ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَشَكُّوا فِيَّ أَمِنَ الذُّرِّيَّةِ أَنَا أَمْ مِنَ الْمُقَاتِلَةِ فَنَظَرُوا إِلَى عَانَتِي فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهَا نَبَتَتْ فَأُلْقِيتُ فِي الذُّرِّيَّةِ وَلَمْ أُقْتَلْ»
✧ I was among those concerning whom Sa'd b. Mu'adh gave judgment. They were uncertain about me, whether I was a child or a combatant. They looked at my pubic area and found that hair had not grown, so I was placed among the children and was not killed.

✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a military expedition, and Khalid b. al-Walid was at the head of the people. Suddenly, there was a slain woman on the road. They began to marvel at her appearance; the vanguard had struck her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and stood over her and said: 'Ha! This one was not one to fight.' Then he said: 'Catch up with Khalid and tell him: Do not kill children or laborers.'
« مَنْ قُتِلَ دُونَ مَالِهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ وَمَنْ ظَلَمَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ شِبْرًا طُوِّقَهُ مِنْ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ»

He said, "Yes, I did it not out of deceit for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ nor hypocrisy, but I knew that Allah would expose His Messenger ﷺ and fulfill His command, except that I was a stranger among them, and my family was with them, so I wanted to make them feel comfortable.

That reached the Prophet ﷺ, so he came to it and sat on its edge, then called for a vessel of water, performed ablution and rinsed his mouth, and supplicated, then poured it into it. We left it not long before it gave us and our mounts to drink as much as we wished.'

✧ On the Day of Badr, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at the polytheists—they were a thousand, while his companions were three hundred and some odd men. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ faced the qiblah, then stretched out his hands and began to call upon his Lord: 'O Allah, fulfill for me what You promised me. O Allah, give me what You promised me. O Allah, if this band of the people of Islam perishes, You will not be worshipped on earth.' He kept calling upon his Lord, mighty and exalted, with his hands extended, facing the qiblah, until his cloak fell from his shoulder ﷺ. Abu Bakr, ؓ, came to him, took his cloak, and placed it back on his shoulder. Then he embraced him from behind and said: 'O Prophet of Allah, enough of your supplication to your Lord, for He will surely fulfill what He promised you.' Then Allah revealed: 'When you sought help of your Lord and He answered you, "Indeed, I will reinforce you with a thousand from the angels, following one another."' So Allah reinforced him with angels.

✧ While a man from the Muslims was that day pursuing a man from the polytheists in front of him, he heard the crack of a whip above him and the voice of a horseman above him saying: 'Advance, Hayzum!' Then he looked at the polytheist in front of him and saw him fall flat on his back. He looked at him and saw that his nose had been struck and his face split, as if by a whip lash, and it had all turned green. The Ansari came and told the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that. He ﷺ said: 'You spoke the truth. That was from the reinforcement of the third heaven.' They killed seventy that day and took seventy prisoners. Ibn 'Abbas said: When they took the prisoners, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Bakr, 'Ali, and 'Umar: 'What do you think about these prisoners?' Abu Bakr said: 'O Prophet of Allah, they are our cousins and kinsmen. I think we should take ransom from them, which will be a strength for us against the disbelievers, and perhaps Allah will guide them to Islam.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'What do you think, O Ibn al-Khattab?' I said: 'No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I do not think as Abu Bakr thinks. But I think you should enable us to strike their necks. Enable 'Ali to deal with 'Aqil and strike his neck, and enable me to deal with so-and-so—a relative of 'Umar—and strike his neck, for these are the leaders of disbelief and its champions.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ inclined to what Abu Bakr said and did not incline to what I said. The next day, I came and found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr sitting and weeping. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, tell me what makes you and your companion weep. If I find cause to weep, I will weep; and if I do not, I will force myself to weep because of your weeping.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'I weep because of what your companions presented to me regarding taking ransom. Allah revealed: "It is not for a prophet to have captives until he has made a great slaughter in the land" up to His saying: "So eat of what you have taken as spoils, lawful and good." Thus Allah made spoils lawful.'

✧ We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the year of Hunayn. When we met, the Muslims had a turn of flight. He said: I saw a man of the polytheists mount a man of the Muslims. He said: So I turned my back until I came at him from behind, and struck him on the vein of his shoulder with a blow that cut the armor from him. He said: He faced me and squeezed me in a squeeze in which I found the smell of death; then death overtook him, so he released me. I caught up with Umar b. al-Khattab and said to him: 'What is the matter with the people?' He said: 'The command of Allah.' He said: Then the people returned. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever kills a slain man and has proof for him, his spoil is his.' Abu Qatada said: I stood up, then said: 'Who will testify for me?' Then I sat down. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever kills a slain man and has proof for him, his spoil is his.' I stood up, then said: 'Who will testify for me?' Then I sat down. Then he said it a third time, so I stood up. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'What is the matter with you, O Abu Qatada?' So I related the story to him. A man of the people said: 'He has spoken the truth, O Messenger of Allah, and the spoil of that slain man is with me; so satisfy him from me.' Abu Bakr said: 'No, by Allah, then a lion of the lions of Allah who fights for Allah and His Messenger would not intend to give you his spoil.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Give it to him.' Abu Qatada said: So he gave it to me. I sold the armor and bought from it a garden in the Banu Salama, and it was the first wealth I acquired in Islam.
«لَمْ تَحِلَّ الْغَنَائِمُ لِأَحَدٍ سُودِ الرُّءُوسِ قَبْلَكُمْ كَانَتْ تَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ نَارٌ فَتَأْكُلُهَا فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ بَدْرٍ وَقَعَ النَّاسُ فِي الْغَنَائِمِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {لَوْلَا كِتَابٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ} »
✧ 'Spoils were not lawful for anyone of the black-haired before you; fire used to descend from heaven and consume them. When the day of Badr came, the people fell upon the spoils, so Allah revealed: {Had it not been for a decree from Allah that preceded, a great punishment would have touched you for what you took}.'

✧ From the Prophet ﷺ, a prophet from among the prophets went on a military expedition with his companions. He said, "No man should build a house without settling in it, or marry a woman without entering upon her, or have any need to return." He encountered the enemy when the sun was about to set. He prayed, "O Allah, it is a command, and I am under command. Stop it from setting until I take revenge between me and them." Allah caused the sun to stop setting, and they fought against the enemy. They gathered spoils of war, but the fire did not consume it, for whenever they would gather war booty, Allah would send fire on it and consume it. Their prophet said to them, "Among you, there are traitors. Let a man from every tribe come and pledge allegiance to me." They went to him and pledged allegiance. The hands of two men stuck to his hand, and they said, "You are accusing us of treachery." He said, "Indeed, there is a golden statue of a cow in the likeness of its head." So they brought it and threw it into the spoils of war. Allah sent fire, and it consumed it. At that moment, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah provided us with spoils of war as a mercy. He showed mercy to us and stayed the hand of the enemy because of our weakness."
«غَزَا نَبِيٌّ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فَقَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ لَا يَتْبَعْنِي رَجُلٌ قَدْ نَاكَحَ امْرَأَةً وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَبْنِيَ بِهَا وَلَا رَفَعَ بِنَاءً وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ سُقُفَهَا وَلَا اشْتَرَى غَنَمًا وَهُوَ يَنْتَظِرُ وِلَادَهَا فَغَزَا فَدَنَا إِلَى الدَّيْرِ حِينَ صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ أَوْ قَرُبَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لِلشَّمْسِ إِنَّكِ مَأْمُورَةٌ وَأَنَا مَأْمُورٌ اللَّهُمَّ احْبِسْهَا عَلَيَّ شَيْئًا فَحُبِسَتْ حَتَّى فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَجَمَعُوا مَا غَنِمُوا فَأَقْبَلَتِ النَّارُ لِتَأْكُلَهُ فَأَبَتِ النَّارُ أَنْ تَطْعَمَهُ فَقَالَ فِيكُمْ غُلُولٌ فَلْيُبَايِعْنِي مِنْ كُلِّ قَبِيلَةٍ رَجُلٌ فَبَايَعَهُ فَلَصِقَتْ يَدُ رَجُلٍ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ فِيكُمُ الْغُلُولُ فَلْتُبَايِعْنِي قَبِيلَتُكَ فَبَايَعَتْهُ قَبِيلَتُهُ فَلَصِقَتْ بِيَدِهِ يَدُ رَجُلَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٍ فَقَالَ فِيكُمُ الْغُلُولُ فَأَخْرَجُوا مِثْلَ رَأْسِ الْبَقَرَةِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَوَضَعُوهُ فِي الْمَالِ وَهُوَ بِالصَّعِيدِ فَأَقْبَلَتِ النَّارُ فَأَكَلَتْهُ فَلَمْ تَحِلَّ الْغَنَائِمُ لِأَحَدٍ كَانَ قَبْلَنَا وَذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ رَأَى ضَعْفَنَا فَطَيَّبَهَا لَنَا»
✧ 'A prophet among the prophets went on a raid and said to his people: No man who has married a woman and wants to consummate with her should follow me; nor one who raised a building and has not raised its roof; nor one who bought sheep and awaits their birth. He raided and drew near to the monastery at the time of Asr prayer or close to that, then said to the sun: You are commanded, and I am commanded; O Allah, hold it back for me a while. So it was held back until Allah granted him victory. They gathered what they had taken as spoils, and the fire came to consume it, but the fire refused to eat it. He said: There is some stolen property among you, so let one man from every tribe pledge allegiance to me. They did, and the hand of a man stuck to his hand. He said: The stolen property is among you; let your tribe pledge allegiance to me. His tribe pledged allegiance to him, and the hand of two or three men stuck to his hand. He said: The stolen property is among you. So they brought out a piece of gold like the head of a cow and placed it in the wealth, and it was on the ground. The fire came and consumed it. Spoils were not lawful for anyone before us; and that is because Allah saw our weakness and made them good for us.'
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَصَابَ مَغْنَمًا أَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَنَادَى فِي النَّاسِ فَيَجِيءُ النَّاسُ بِغَنَائِمِهِمْ فَيُخَمِّسُهُ وَيُقَسِّمُهُ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِزِمَامٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ فَقَالَ أَمَا سَمِعْتَ بِلَالًا يُنَادِي ثَلَاثًا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَمَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَجِيءَ بِهِ فَاعْتَذَرَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كُنْ أَنْتَ الَّذِي يَجِيءُ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلَنْ أَقْبَلَهُ مِنْكَ»
✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ acquired spoils, he would order Bilal to call out among the people, and the people would bring their spoils; he would take a fifth and divide it. Then a man came to him after that with a rope of hair and said: 'Did you not hear Bilal calling three times?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'What prevented you from bringing it?' He made an excuse to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'You yourself will bring it on the Day of Resurrection, and I will never accept it from you.'

Neither of them shares with the other whether they both gain spoils or only one of them gains. Thus the matter has been settled concerning them.'

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a raiding party towards Najd under the command of Aban b. Sa'id b. al-'As. He arrived to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ after the conquest of Khaybar. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, do not divide for them.' He said: 'Aban became angry.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Gently, O Aban.' And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ refused to divide anything for them.
«كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أَتَاهُ الْفَيْءُ قَسَمَهُ فِي يَوْمِهِ فَأَعْطَى الْآهِلَ حَظَّيْنِ وَأَعْطَى الْعَزَبَ حَظًّا»

✧ Fatima, daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, sent to Abu Bakr asking for her inheritance from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from what Allah bestowed upon His Messenger. At that time, Fatima, ؓ, was seeking the charity of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that was in Madinah, Fadak, and what remained of the khums of Khaybar. A'isha said: Abu Bakr said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "We are not inherited; what we leave is charity. The family of Muhammad only eats from this wealth; it is not for them to increase beyond the food." And by Allah, I will not change anything of the charities of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the condition it was in during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I will act in it as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ acted in it.' Abu Bakr refused to give Fatima anything from it. Fatima became angry with Abu Bakr over that and shunned him, and did not speak to him until she died. She lived six months after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When she died, Ali b. Abi Talib, ؓ, buried her at night and did not inform Abu Bakr. Ali prayed over her. Ali had a standing among the people during Fatima's life, but when Fatima, ؓ, died, the people's faces turned away from Ali until he noticed their change. Then Ali inclined toward reconciliation with Abu Bakr and pledging allegiance to him, although he had not pledged allegiance during those months. He sent to Abu Bakr, 'Come to us, and let no one come with you,' for Ali disliked that Umar should attend, knowing Umar's harshness toward them. Umar said to Abu Bakr, 'By Allah, you will not enter upon them alone.' Abu Bakr said, 'What could they do to me? By Allah, I will go to them.' Abu Bakr entered. Ali recited the shahada, then said, 'We have recognized, O Abu Bakr, your virtue and what Allah has given you. We do not begrudge you any good that Allah has brought to you. But you have taken sole control of the affair, and we considered that we had a right, and he mentioned their kinship to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and their right.' He continued speaking until Abu Bakr's eyes overflowed. When Abu Bakr spoke, he said, 'By the One in whose hand is my soul, the kinship of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is dearer to me to maintain than my own kinship. As for what arose between me and you regarding these charities, I have not failed to do good in them, and I would not leave any matter in them that I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do except that I would do it.' Ali said, 'Your appointment is this evening for the pledge of allegiance.' When Abu Bakr prayed the noon prayer, he ascended the pulpit, recited the shahada, mentioned Ali's situation and his delay in pledging, and his excuse for what he had excused himself. Then he sought forgiveness. Ali recited the shahada, magnified Abu Bakr's right, and stated that what he had done was not out of envy toward Abu Bakr or denial of the virtue with which Allah had favored him, but we considered that we had a share in the affair, and he had taken sole control over us, so we found that within ourselves. The Muslims were pleased with that and said to Ali, 'You have done right.' The Muslims were close to Ali when he returned to the matter with good conduct.

✧ Najda al-Haruri went out during the fitna of Ibn al-Zubayr. He sent to Ibn Abbas asking about the share of the near of kin: for whom is it? He said, 'It is for the relatives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ divided it for them. Umar had offered us something from it that we considered less than our right, so we rejected it and refused to accept it. He had offered to help their married ones, pay the debts of their indebted, and give to their poor, and he refused to give them more than that.'
«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَجَّهَ جَيْشًا فَغَنِمُوا طَعَامًا وَعَسَلًا فَلَمْ يُخَمِّسْهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ dispatched an army, and they took as spoils food and honey, and the Prophet ﷺ did not take the khums from it.

✧ On the day of Hunayn, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave preference to some people in the division. He gave al-Aqra' b. Habis one hundred camels, gave Uyayna b. Hisn the like of that, and gave preference to some of the nobles of the Arabs. A man said, 'By Allah, this is a division in which justice was not observed, and the face of Allah was not intended by it.' I said, 'I will inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' I came to him and informed him. The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed, then he said, 'Who will be just if Allah and His Messenger are not just?' Then he said, 'May Allah have mercy on Musa. He was harmed with more than this, and he was patient.' I said, 'No doubt, I will never raise a report to him after this.'

✧ I undertook a blood-money responsibility for my people. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have undertaken a blood-money responsibility for my people, so help me with it.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Rather, we will bear it for you.' He said, 'It is yours among the charity camels when they come.' Then he said, 'O Qabisa b. Mukhariq, begging is not lawful except for one of three: a man who undertakes a blood-money responsibility for his people seeking reconciliation, and he begs until he reaches his aim, then he stops; a man who is stricken by poverty and three men of sound judgment from his people testify for him, and when he obtains what suffices or a covering, he stops; and a man who is stricken by a calamity and begs until he obtains what suffices or a covering, then he stops. Anything else, O Qabisa, of begging is unlawful earnings.' He said it three times.
شَهِدْتُ حُنَيْنًا وَأَنَا عَبْدٌ مَمْلُوكٌ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سَهْمِي فَأَعْطَانِي سَيْفًا وَقَالَ «تَقَلَّدْهُ» وَأَعْطَانِي مِنْ خُرْثِيِّ الْمَتَاعِ

✧ I heard ‘Amr b. Shu‘ayb and Sulayman b. Musa mentioning the extra grant. ‘Amr said: «There is no extra grant after the Prophet ﷺ.» Sulayman b. Musa said to him: «You have been occupied with eating raisins in al-Ta’if.»

✧ The Prophet ﷺ said on the day of Hunayn: «Whoever kills a disbeliever, his spoils belong to him.» Abu Talhah killed twenty men that day and took their spoils. Abu Qatadah said: “O Messenger of Allah, I struck a man on the shoulder strap, and he had a coat of mail. I was made to leave him, and a man said: ‘I took it, so satisfy him from it and give it to me.’” The Prophet ﷺ was not asked for anything except that he gave it or remained silent, so he remained silent ﷺ. ‘Umar b. al-Khattab, ؓ, said: “By Allah, Allah will not give it back to a lion of His lions and give it to you.” The Prophet ﷺ laughed and said: «‘Umar spoke the truth.»

✧ We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the year of Hunayn. When we met, the Muslims had a retreat. I saw a man from the polytheists over a man from the Muslims. I came behind him and struck him on the shoulder strap, cutting the coat of mail. He turned to me and squeezed me in an embrace in which I found the smell of death. Then death overtook him, and he released me. I caught up with ‘Umar b. al-Khattab and said: “What is the matter with the people?” He said: “The command of Allah.” Then the people returned, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: «Whoever kills a slain man, and he has evidence for it, his spoils belong to him.» Abu Qatadah said: I stood up and said: “Who will testify for me?” Then I sat down. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: «Whoever kills a slain man, and he has evidence for it, his spoils belong to him.» I stood up and said: “Who will testify for me?” Then I sat down. He said that the third time, and I stood up. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: «What is the matter with you, O Abu Qatadah?» I told him the story. A man from the people said: “He spoke the truth, O Messenger of Allah, and the spoils of that slain man are with me, so satisfy him from me.” Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, ؓ, said: “By Allah, no! He would intend a lion of Allah’s lions fighting for Allah and His Messenger, and you give you his spoils.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: «He spoke the truth, so give it to him.» Abu Qatadah said: He gave it to me. I sold the coat of mail and bought with it a garden among the Banu Salamah. It was the first property I acquired in Islam.

✧ The Hawazin came on the day of Hunayn with sheep, camels, and goats, and they arranged them in two rows to outnumber the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Muslims and the polytheists met, and the Muslims turned back in retreat, as Allah said. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: «I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger.» Then Allah defeated the polytheists, and we did not strike with a sword or thrust with a spear. The Prophet ﷺ said that day: «Whoever kills a disbeliever, his spoils belong to him.» Abu Talhah killed twenty men that day and took their spoils. Abu Qatadah said: “O Messenger of Allah, I struck a man on the shoulder strap, and he had a coat of mail. I was hurried away from him before taking it. Look with whom it is.” A man stood up and said: “O Messenger of Allah, I took it. Satisfy him from me and give it to me.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not asked for anything except that he gave it or remained silent. ‘Umar said: “Allah will not give it back to a lion of His lions and give it to you.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed and said: «‘Umar spoke the truth.» Abu Talhah met Umm Sulaym, and she had a dagger. He said: “O Umm Sulaym, what is this with you?” She said: “I intended, if any of the polytheists came near me, to rip open his belly with it.” Abu Talhah said: “O Messenger of Allah, do you not hear what Umm Sulaym says?” She said: “O Messenger of Allah, I would kill with it the freed ones who fled from you.” He ﷺ said: «O Umm Sulaym, Allah has sufficed and done well.»

✧ While I was standing between the ranks on the day of Badr, I looked to my right and left, and I was between two youths of the Ansar. While I was so, one of them nudged me and said: “O uncle, do you know Abu Jahl b. Hisham?” I said: “Yes, and what is your need with him, O son of my brother?” He said: “I was told that he reviles the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. By the One in whose hand is my soul, if I see him, my body will not leave his until the quicker of us dies.” I was pleased with his words. Then the other nudged me and said the like. It was not long before I saw Abu Jahl moving among the people. I said to them: “This is your companion whom you asked me about.” They rushed at him and struck him with their swords and killed him. Then they came to the Prophet ﷺ and told him what they had done. He said: «Which of you killed him?» Each of them said: “I killed him.” He said: «Did you wipe your swords?» We said: “No.” He looked at the two swords and the Prophet ﷺ said: «Both of you killed him.» Then he decreed his spoils to Mu‘adh b. ‘Amr b. al-Jamuh. The two men were Mu‘adh b. ‘Amr b. al-Jamuh and Mu‘adh b. ‘Afra’.

✧ A reinforcement fighter in the expedition of Tabuk accompanied them. A Roman was towering over the Muslims and inciting against them. The reinforcement fighter took a subtle position and sat under a rock. When the Roman passed by, he hamstrung his horse, and the Roman fell on the back of his neck. The reinforcement fighter attacked him with the sword and killed him, and came with his saddle, bridle, sword, belt, and weapons. They took the gold and jewels to Khalid b. al-Walid. Khalid took a portion from him and gave him the rest as extra. I said to him: “O Khalid, what is this? Do you not know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave the entire spoils to the killer?” He said: “Yes, but I considered it too much.” I said: “By the life of Allah, I will make it known to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” When we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I told him his story. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and ordered him to give the reinforcement fighter the rest of his spoils. Khalid turned to do it. I said to him: “How do you see, O Khalid, did I not fulfill for you what I promised you?” The Messenger of Allah became angry and said: «O Khalid, do not give it to him, and turn to me.» He said: «Will you leave my commanders alone? You have the best of their affairs, and upon them is its trouble.»

✧ We raided with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ against Hawazin. While we were sitting taking our midday rest, a man on a red camel drew out a leather strap from the camel’s saddle and tied his camel with it. Then he came and sat with us to eat lunch. He looked at the faces of the people, and their backs were thin and most of them were on foot. When he looked at the faces of the people, he went out running until he came to his camel and sat on it, urging it on, and he was a scout for the disbelievers. A man from us of Aslam followed him on a grayish-brown she-camel. Iyas said: My father said: I followed him running, and I drew my sword and struck his head. Then I came with his she-camel, leading it, and on it were his spoils. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me with the people and said: «Who killed the man?» Ibn al-Akwa‘ said: “I did.” He said: «All his spoils are yours.»

✧ I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was in a dome of tanned leather containing forty men. He said: 'You will be given victory, and you will be helped, and you will take spoils. Whoever of you reaches that time, let him fear Allah, enjoin good, and forbid evil. And whoever lies about me deliberately, let him take his seat in the Fire.'

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us one day and mentioned ghulul (misappropriation of spoils), and he emphasized its gravity.

لَمَّا قُتِلَ نَفَرٌ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالُوا فُلَانٌ شَهِيدٌ وَفُلَانٌ شَهِيدٌ حَتَّى ذَكَرُوا رَجُلًا فَقَالُوا فُلَانٌ شَهِيدٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَلَّا إِنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ فِي النَّارِ فِي عَبَاءَةٍ غَلَّهَا أَوْ بُرْدَةٍ غَلَّهَا» ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ اذْهَبْ فَنَادِ فِي النَّاسِ أَنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةُ إِلَّا نَفْسٌ مُؤْمِنَةٌ» قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَنَادَيْتُ فِي النَّاسِ
✧ When some men from the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were killed on the day of Khaybar, they said, 'So-and-so is a martyr, and so-and-so is a martyr,' until they mentioned a man and said, 'So-and-so is a martyr.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'No, indeed I saw him in the Fire in a cloak he had stolen or a striped garment he had stolen.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Ibn al-Khattab, go and announce among the people that none will enter Paradise except a believing soul.' He said, 'So I went out and announced among the people.'
أَنَّهُ قَالَ عَامَ خَيْبَرَ «مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلَا يَسْقِيَنَّ مَاءَهُ وَلَدَ غَيْرِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلَا يَأْخُذَنَّ دَابَّةً مِنَ الْمَغَانِمِ فَيَرْكَبَهَا حَتَّى إِذَا أَعْجَفَهَا رَدَّهَا فِي الْمَغَانِمِ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلَا يَلْبَسْ ثَوْبًا مِنَ الْمَغَانِمِ حَتَّى إِذَا أَخْلَقَهُ رَدَّهُ فِي الْمَغَانِمِ»
✧ He said in the year of Khaybar: 'Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him not water his own water (i.e., his semen) the child of another (i.e., let him not have intercourse with a pregnant captive). Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him not take a riding animal from the spoils and ride it until he has made it lean and then return it to the spoils. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him not wear a garment from the spoils until he has worn it out and then return it to the spoils.'

✧ We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the year of Khaybar, and we did not gain gold or silver, but only goods, clothes, and baggage. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ headed towards Wadi al-Qura. Rifa'ah b. Zayd had given the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a black slave called Mid'am. We went on until we were at Wadi al-Qura. While Mid'am was unloading the saddle of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a stray arrow came and struck him, killing him. The people said, 'Good for him, Paradise!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'No, by Him in whose hand is my soul, the cloak that he took on the day of Khaybar from the spoils, which the division had not reached, is burning upon him as fire.' When the people heard that, a man came with a shoe strap or two shoe straps to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'A shoe strap of fire or two shoe straps of fire.'
أَهْدَى رِفَاعَةُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ غُلَامًا فَخَرَجَ بِهِ مَعَهُ إِلَى خَيْبَرَ فَأَتَى الْغُلَامَ سَهْمٌ غَرْبٌ فَقَتَلَهُ فَقُلْنَا هَنِيئًا لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ الشَّمْلَةُ لَتَحْتَرِقُ عَلَيْهِ الْآنَ فِي النَّارِ غَلَّهَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَصَبْتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ شِرَاكَيْنِ قَالَ «يُعَدَّدُ لَكَ مِثْلُهُمَا فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ»
✧ Rifa'ah gave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a slave boy, and he took him with him to Khaybar. A stray arrow struck the boy and killed him. We said, 'Good for him, Paradise!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'By Him in whose hand is my soul, the cloak is burning upon him now in the Fire; he stole it from the Muslims on the day of Khaybar.' A man from the Ansar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I got two shoe straps that day.' He said, 'The like of them will be counted for you in the fire of Hell.'
أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تُوُفِّيَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ فَذَكَرُوهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ» فَتَغَيَّرَتْ وجُوهُ الْقَوْمِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ غَلَّ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَفَتَحْنَا مَتَاعَهُ فَوَجَدْنَا خَرَزًا مِنْ خَرَزِ الْيَهُودِ لَا يُسَاوِي دِرْهَمَيْنِ»
✧ A man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ died on the day of Khaybar, and they mentioned him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, 'Pray over your companion.' The faces of the people changed at that, and he said, 'Your companion committed ghulul in the way of Allah.' So we opened his baggage and found beads of the Jews' beads, not worth two dirhams.
كَانَ يُؤْتَى بِالرَّجُلِ الْمَيِّتِ عَلَيْهِ الدَّيْنُ فَيَسْأَلُ هَلْ تَرَكَ لِدَيْنِهِ وَفَاءً فَإِنْ حُدِّثَ أَنَّهُ تَرَكَ وَفَاءً صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَإِلَّا قَالَ «صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ» فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا عَلَيْهِ الْفُتُوحَ قَالَ «أَنَا أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَمَنْ تُوُفِّيَ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَعَلَيَّ قَضَاؤُهُ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَهُوَ لِوَرَثَتِهِ»
✧ A dead man who owed a debt would be brought, and he would ask, 'Did he leave enough to pay his debt?' If he was told that he had left enough, he would pray over him; otherwise he would say, 'Pray over your companion.' When Allah, Mighty and Majestic, granted him the conquests, he said, 'I am closer to the believers than their own selves. Whoever dies owing a debt, its payment is upon me, and whoever leaves wealth, it belongs to his heirs.'

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to Badr and met the enemy. When Allah defeated them, a group of the Muslims pursued them, killing them; another group surrounded the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; and another group took possession of the camp and the spoils. When Allah had sufficed against the enemy and those who had pursued them returned, they said, 'The extra share is ours: we pursued the enemy, and by us Allah expelled and defeated them.' The group that had surrounded the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'By Allah, you are not more entitled to it than we are; it is ours: we surrounded the Messenger of Allah ﷺ so that the enemy could not catch him off guard.' The group that had taken possession of the camp and the spoils said, 'By Allah, you are not more entitled to it than we are; it is ours.' Then Allah, Exalted, sent down: {They ask you about the spoils} (Qur'an 8:1), the verse. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ divided it among them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to give them an extra share of a fourth when they set out as raiders at the beginning of the expedition, and a third when they returned. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took a piece of wool from the side of a camel on the day of Hunayn and said, 'O people, it is not lawful for me of what Allah has given you as booty even the amount of this, except the fifth, and the fifth is returned to you. So render the thread and the needle, and beware of ghulul, for it is a disgrace upon its owner on the Day of Resurrection. And upon you is jihad in the way of Allah, for it is a gate from the gates of Paradise by which Allah removes worry and grief.' He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked extra shares (anfal) and said, 'Let the strong of the believers return to their weak.'
«إِذَا انْتَاطَ غَزْوُكُمْ وَكَثُرَتِ الْعَزَائِمُ وَاسْتُحِلَّتِ الْغَنَائِمُ فَخَيْرُ جِهَادِكُمُ الرِّبَاطُ»
✧ «When your raiding becomes extensive and the incursions multiply and spoils are deemed lawful, then the best of your jihad is the ribat.»
لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ خَيْبَرٍ أَقْبَلَ نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا فُلَانٌ شَهِيدٌ فُلَانٌ شَهِيدٌ حَتَّى مَرُّوا عَلَى رَجُلٍ فَقَالُوا فُلَانٌ شَهِيدٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَلَّا إِنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ فِي النَّارِ فِي بُرْدَةٍ غَلَّهَا أَوْ عَبَاءَةٍ» ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ اذْهَبْ فَنَادِ فِي النَّاسِ أَنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ» قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَنَادَيْتُ أَلَا إِنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
✧ When it was the day of Khaybar, a group of the Prophet’s ﷺ companions came and said, “So-and-so is a martyr, so-and-so is a martyr,” until they passed by a man and said, “So-and-so is a martyr.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “No indeed, I saw him in the Fire in a cloak he embezzled or an abā’ah.” Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “O b. al-Khaṭṭāb, go and call out among the people that only the believers will enter Paradise.” He said, “So I went out and called, ‘Indeed, only the believers will enter Paradise.’”
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَصَابَ مَغْنَمًا أَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَنَادَى فِي النَّاسِ ثَلَاثَةً فَيَجِيءُ النَّاسُ بِغَنَائِمِهِمْ فَيُخَمِّسُهَا وَيَقْسِمُهَا فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِزِمَامٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا فِيمَا كُنَّا أَصَبْنَا فِي الْغَنِيمَةِ قَالَ مَا سَمِعْتَ بِلَالًا نَادَى ثَلَاثًا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَمَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَجِيءَ بِهِ؟ فَاعْتَذَرَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ﷺ «كُنْ أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَجِيءُ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلَنْ أَقْبَلَهُ مِنْكَ»
✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ acquired spoils, he would command Bilāl, who would call out among the people three times. Then the people would come with their spoils, and he would take a fifth and divide them. Later, a man came to him with a rein made of hair and said, “O Messenger of Allah, this was among what we seized as spoils.” He said, “Did you not hear Bilāl call out three times?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “Then what prevented you from bringing it?” He offered an excuse, so he said ﷺ, “You will be the one to bring it on the Day of Resurrection, and I will not accept it from you.”

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَمَّرَهُ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَغَزَوْنَا فَزَارَةَ فَلَمَّا دَنَوْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ أَمَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَعَرَّسْنَا فَلَمَّا صَلَّيْنَا الصُّبْحَ أَمَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِشَنِّ الْغَارَةِ فَقَتَلْنَا عَلَى الْمَاءِ مَنْ قَتَلْنَا قَالَ سَلَمَةُ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى عُنُقِ مِنَ النَّاسِ فِيهِ الذُّرِّيَّةُ وَالنِّسَاءُ وَأَنَا أَعْدُو فِي آثَارِهِمْ فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَسْبِقُونِي إِلَى الْجَبَلِ فَرَمَيْتُ بِسَهْمٍ فَوَقَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْجَبَلِ فَقَامُوا فَجِئْتُ بِهِمْ أَسُوقُهُمْ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ الْمَاءَ وَفِيهِمُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ فَزَارَةَ عَلَيْهَا قَشْعٌ مِنْ آدَمَ مَعَهَا بِنْتٌ لَهَا مِنْ أَحْسَنِ الْعَرَبِ فَنَفَّلَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ابْنَتَهَا فَمَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ ثُمَّ بِتُّ وَلَمْ أَكْشِفْ لَهَا ثَوْبًا فَلَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «هَبْ لِي الْمَرْأَةَ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَعْجَبَتْنِي وَمَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَتَرَكَنِي ثُمَّ لَقِيَنِي مِنَ الْغَدِ فِي السُّوقِ فَقَالَ «يَا سَلَمَةُ هَبْ لِي الْمَرْأَةَ لِلَّهِ أَبُوكَ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا فَهِيَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَفِي أَيْدِيهِمْ أَسْرَى مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَفَدَاهُمْ بِتِلْكَ الْمَرْأَةِ فَكَّهُمْ بِهَا
✧ We went out with Abū Bakr, ؓ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed him as our commander. We raided Fazārah. When we drew near the water, Abū Bakr commanded us, and we halted for rest. When we prayed the morning prayer, Abū Bakr commanded us to launch the raid. We killed at the water whom we killed. Salamah said: I looked at a group of people among whom were children and women, and I ran in their tracks. I feared they would reach the mountain before me, so I shot an arrow, and it fell between them and the mountain. They stopped, and I brought them, driving them to Abū Bakr, until I came to the water. Among them was a woman from Fazārah wearing a piece of tanned leather, and with her was a daughter of hers, one of the most beautiful of the Arabs. Abū Bakr gave me her daughter as booty. I did not remove any garment from her until I arrived in Madinah. Then I spent the night and did not remove any garment from her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me and said, “Give me the woman.” I said, “O Messenger of Allah, she has pleased me, and I have not removed any garment from her.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was silent and left me. Then he met me the next day in the market and said, “O Salamah, give me the woman, may your father be for Allah.” He said: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, I have not removed any garment from her. She is yours, O Messenger of Allah.” He said: So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent to the people of Makkah, who had Muslim captives in their hands, and he ransomed them with that woman, freeing them through her.
Sahih Ibn Hibban 4859No grade recorded
أَسَرَتْ ثَقِيفٌ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَسَرَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ فَمَرَّ بِهِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُوثَقٌ فَنَادَاهُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «عَلَامَ أُحْبَسُ؟ » فَقَالَ بِجَرِيرَةِ حُلَفَائِكَ ثُمَّ مَضَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَنَادَاهُ فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْأَسِيرُ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَوْ قُلْتَهَا وَأَنْتَ تَمْلِكُ أَمْرَكَ أَفْلَحْتَ كُلَّ الْفَلَاحِ» ثُمَّ مَضَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَنَادَاهُ أَيْضًا فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي جَائِعٌ فَأَطْعِمْنِي فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هَذِهِ حَاجَتُكَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَدَاهُ بِالرَّجُلَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ كَانَتْ ثَقِيفٌ أَسَرَتْهُمَا
✧ Thaqīf took two men prisoner from among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ, and the companions of the Prophet ﷺ took a man from Banū ʿĀmir b. Ṣaʿṣaʿah prisoner. He was brought before the Prophet ﷺ while he was bound, and he called out, “O Muḥammad, O Muḥammad!” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to him and said, “For what am I being detained?” He said, “For the crime of your allies.” Then the Prophet ﷺ went on, and he called out to him, so the Prophet ﷺ went to him. The prisoner said to him, “I am a Muslim.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “If you had said it while you had control over your affair, you would have succeeded utterly.” Then the Prophet ﷺ went on, and he called out to him again, so he went to him and said, “I am hungry, so feed me.” The Prophet ﷺ said to him, “This is your need.” Then the Prophet ﷺ ransomed him with the two men whom Thaqīf had taken prisoner.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِالْمُؤْمِنِ مَنْ أَمِنَهُ النَّاسُ عَلَى أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ وَالْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ النَّاسُ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ وَالْمُجَاهِدُ مَنْ جَاهَدَ نَفْسَهُ فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَالْمُهَاجِرُ مَنْ هَجَرَ الْخَطَايَا وَالذُّنُوبَ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said during the Farewell Pilgrimage: “Shall I tell you who the believer is? It is the one whom people trust with their wealth and their lives. The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand people are safe. The mujāhid is the one who strives against his own self in obedience to Allah. The emigrant is the one who emigrates from sins and wrongdoings.”
«الْهِجْرَةُ هِجْرَتَانِ فَأَمَّا هِجْرَةُ الْبَادِي يُجِيبُ إِذَا دُعِيَ وَيُطِيعُ إِذَا أُمِرَ وَأَمَّا هِجْرَةُ الْحَاضِرِ فَهِيَ أَشَدُّهُمَا بَلِيَّةً وَأَعْظَمُهُمَا أَجْرًا»
✧ From the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "Migration is of two types: the migration of a person who responds when called and obeys when commanded, and the migration of a person who remains steadfast in the face of difficulties and adversities, which is considered the most challenging and rewarding."
جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِأَبِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَايَعَ أَبِي عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «بَلْ أُبَايِعُهُ عَلَى الْجِهَادِ قَدِ انْقَطَعَتِ الْهِجْرَةُ»
✧ I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with my father and said, “O Messenger of Allah, my father has pledged allegiance for hijrah.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Rather, I will accept his pledge for jihad; hijrah has ceased.”
أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ «لَا هِجْرَةَ وَلَكِنَّهَا جِهَادٌ وَنِيَّةٌ وَإِذَا اسْتُنْفِرْتُمْ فَانْفِرُوا»
✧ He said on the day of the conquest: “There is no hijrah, but rather jihad and intention. When you are called to mobilize, then mobilize.”
«لَا تَنْقَطِعُ الْهِجْرَةُ مَا قُوتِلَ الْكُفَّارُ»
✧ “Hijrah will not cease as long as the disbelievers are fought.”
انْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَعُبَيْدُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَسَأَلَهَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْهِجْرَةِ فَقَالَتْ «لَا هِجْرَةَ بَعْدَ الْفَتْحِ أَوْ قَالَتْ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ إِنَّمَا كَانَ النَّاسُ يَفِرُّونَ بِدِينِهِمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَنْ يُفْتَنُوا وَقَدْ أَفْشَى اللَّهُ الْإِسْلَامَ فَحَيْثُ شَاءَ الْعَبْدُ عَبَدَ رَبَّهُ»
✧ I went with ʿUbayd b. ʿUmayr until we entered upon ʿĀʾishah. ʿUbayd b. ʿUmayr asked her about hijrah, and she said: “There is no hijrah after the conquest,” or she said, “after today. People used to flee with their religion to Allah and His Messenger from being tried, and Allah has now spread Islam, so wherever a servant wishes, he can worship his Lord.”
« الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ وَلِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ لِدُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ»
✧ “Actions are but by intentions, and every person will have what he intended. Whoever’s hijrah was to Allah and His Messenger, his hijrah is to Allah and His Messenger. Whoever’s hijrah was for this world to attain it or for a woman to marry her, then his hijrah is to what he migrated for.”
أَنَّ فُدَيْكًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ لَمْ يُهَاجِرْ هَلَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا فُدَيْكُ أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ وَاهْجُرِ السُّوءَ وَاسْكُنْ مِنْ أَرْضِ قَوْمَكَ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ»
✧ Fudayk came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, “O Messenger of Allah, they claim that whoever has not migrated is ruined.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “O Fudayk, establish the prayer, avoid evil, and dwell wherever you wish in the land of your people.”
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمَّا صَالَحَ قُرَيْشًا يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ «اكْتُبْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ» فَقَالَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو لَا نَعْرِفُ الرَّحْمَنَ الرَّحِيمَ اكْتُبْ بِاسْمِكَ اللَّهُمَّ فَقَالَ ﷺ لِعَلِيٍّ «اكْتُبْ هَذَا مَا صَالَحَ عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ» فَقَالَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو لَوْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَاتَّبَعْنَاكَ وَلَمْ نُكَذِّبْكَ اكْتُبْ بِنَسَبِكَ مِنْ أَبِيكِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِعَلِيٍّ « اكْتُبْ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ» فَكَتَبَ مَنْ أَتَى مِنْكُمْ رَدَدْنَاهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَنْ أَتَى مِنَّا تَرَكْنَاهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نُعْطِيهِمْ هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَتَاهُمْ مِنَّا فَأَبْعَدَهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ أَتَانَا مِنْهُمْ فَرَدَدْنَاهُ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فَرَجًا وَمَخْرَجًا»
✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a treaty with Quraysh on the day of al-Hudaybiyyah, he said to 'Ali, 'Write: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.' Suhayl b. 'Amr said, 'We do not recognize the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Write: In Your name, O Allah.' The Prophet ﷺ said to 'Ali, 'Write: This is what Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, has agreed upon.' Suhayl b. 'Amr said, 'If we knew that you were the Messenger of Allah, we would have followed you and not belied you. Write your lineage from your father.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to 'Ali, 'Write: Muhammad b. 'Abdullah.' He wrote: 'Whoever comes to you from us, we will return him to you, and whoever comes to us from you, we will leave him to you.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, should we grant them this?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever goes to them from us, may Allah distance him, and whoever comes to us from them and we return him, Allah will make for him a way out and an escape.'
كَانَ بَيْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَبَيْنَ الرُّومِ عَقْدٌ وَكَانَ يَسِيرُ نَحْوَ بِلَادِهِمْ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ إِذَا انْقَضَى الْعَقْدُ أَنْ يُغِيرَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَإِذَا شَيْخٌ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا غَدْرَ فَإِذَا هُوَ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبَسَةَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِذَا كَانَ بَيْنَ قَوْمٍ عَقْدٌ فَلَا يَحُلُّ عُقْدَةٌ حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ أَمَدُهَا أَوْ يُنْبَذَ إِلَيْهِمْ عَلَى سَوَاءٍ»
✧ There was a treaty between Mu'awiyah and the Romans, and he was marching towards their land, intending to raid them when the treaty expired. Then an old man said, 'Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, no treachery!' It was 'Amr b. 'Abasah. I asked him, and he said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "If there is a treaty between a people, no knot may be untied until its term has elapsed or it is renounced to them equally."'
مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَكْثَرَ مُشَاوَرَةً لِأَصْحَابِهِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فِي حَدِيثِهِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ وَمَرْوَانَ فِي حَدِيثِهِمَا فَرَاحُوا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ بِالْغَمِيمِ فِي خَيْلٍ لِقُرَيْشٍ طَلِيعَةً فَخُذُوا ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا شَعَرَ بِهِمْ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَتَّى إِذَا هُوَ بِقَتَرَةِ الْجَيْشِ فَأَقْبَلَ يَرْكُضُ نَذِيرًا لِقُرَيْشٍ وَسَارَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِالثَّنِيَّةِ الَّتِي يَهْبِطُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْهَا فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَيْهَا بَرَكَتْ رَاحِلَتُهُ» فَقَالَ النَّاسُ حَلَّ حَلَّ فَأَلَحَّتْ فَقَالُوا خَلَأَتِ الْقَصْوَاءُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا خَلَأَتِ الْقَصْوَاءُ وَمَا ذَلِكَ لَهَا بِخُلُقٍ وَلَكِنْ حَبَسَهَا حَابِسُ الْفِيلِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَا يَسْأَلُونِي خُطَّةً يُعَظِّمُونَ فِيهَا حُرُمَاتِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا أَعْطَيْتُهُمْ إِيَّاهَا ثُمَّ زَجَرَهَا فَوَثَبَتْ بِهِ» قَالَ فَعَدَلَ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّى نَزَلَ بِأَقْصَى الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ عَلَى ثَمَدٍ قَلِيلِ الْمَاءِ إِنَّمَا يَتَبَرَّضُهُ النَّاسُ تَبَرُّضًا فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ بِالنَّاسِ أَنْ نَزَحُوهُ فَشُكِيَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعَطَشُ فَانْتَزَعَ سَهْمًا مِنْ كِنَانَتِهِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَجْعَلُوهُ فِيهِ قَالَ فَمَا زَالَ يَجِيشُ لَهُمْ بِالرِّيِّ حَتَّى صَدَرُوا عَنْهُ فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ جَاءَهُ بُدَيْلُ بْنُ وَرْقَاءَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ وَكَانَتْ عَيْبَةَ نُصْحِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَهْلِ تِهَامَةَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي تَرَكْتُ كَعْبَ بْنَ لُؤَيٍّ وَعَامِرَ

فِي غَدْرَتِكَ وَكَانَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ صَحِبَ قَوْمًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقَتَلَهُمْ وَأَخَذَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَأَسْلَمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَمَّا الْإِسْلَامُ فَأَقْبَلَ وَأَمَّا الْمَالُ فَلَسْتُ مِنْهُ فِي شَيْءٍ» قَالَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ عُرْوَةَ جَعَلَ يَرْمُقُ صَحَابَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِعَيْنِهِ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا يَتَنَخَّمُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نُخَامَةً إِلَّا وَقَعَتْ فِي كَفِّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ فَدَلَكَ بِهَا وَجْهَهُ وَجِلْدَهُ وَإِذَا أَمَرَهُمُ انْقَادُوا لِأَمْرِهِ وَإِذَا تَوَضَّأَ كَادُوا يَقْتَتِلُونَ عَلَى وَضُوئِهِ وَإِذَا تَكَلَّمَ خَفَضُوا

النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هَذَا فُلَانٌ مِنْ قَوْمٍ يُعَظِّمُونَ الْبُدْنَ فَابْعَثُوهَا لَهُ» قَالَ فَبُعِثَتْ وَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ الْقَوْمُ يُلَبُّونَ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ

رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ مِكْرَزٌ فَقَالَ دَعُونِي آتِهِ فَقَالُوا ائْتِهِ فَلَمَّا أَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هَذَا مِكْرَزٌ وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ فَاجِرٌ» فَجَعَلَ يُكَلِّمُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يُكَلِّمُهُ إِذْ جَاءَهُ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَيُّوبُ السَّخْتِيَانِيُّ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ سُهَيْلٌ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هَذَا سُهَيْلٌ قَدْ سَهَّلَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ أَمْرَكُمْ» قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ وَمَرْوَانَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ سُهَيْلٌ قَالَ هَاتِ اكْتُبْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ كِتَابًا فَدَعَا الْكَاتِبُ فَقَالَ «اكْتُبْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ» فَقَالَ سُهَيْلٌ أَمَّا الرَّحْمَنُ فَلَا أَدْرِي وَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ وَلَكِنِ اكْتُبْ بِاسْمِكَ اللَّهُمَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «اكْتُبْ هَذَا مَا قَاضَى عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ» فَقَالَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو لَوْ كُنَّا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَا صَدَدْنَاكَ عَنِ الْبَيْتِ وَلَا قَاتَلْنَاكَ وَلَكِنِ اكْتُبْ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ كَذَّبْتُمُونِي اكْتُبْ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ» قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَذَلِكَ لِقَوْلِهِ لَا يَسْأَلُونِي خُطَّةً يُعَظِّمُونَ فِيهَا حُرُمَاتِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا أَعْطَيْتُهُمْ إِيَّاهَا وَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ وَمَرْوَانَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «عَلَى أَنْ تُخَلُّوا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ الْبَيْتِ فَنَطُوفُ بِهِ» فَقَالَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو إِنَّهُ لَا يَتَحَدَّثُ الْعَرَبُ أَنَّا أَخَذْنَا ضَغْطَةً وَلَكِنْ لَكَ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ

كَيْفَ يُرَدُّ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَقَدْ جَاءَ مُسْلِمًا فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِذْ جَاءَ أَبُو جَنْدَلِ بْنُ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو يَرْسُفُ فِي قُيُودِهِ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ مَكَّةَ حَتَّى رَمَى بِنَفْسِهِ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ نُقَاضِيكَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ تَرُدَّهُ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّا لَمْ نُمْضِ الْكِتَابَ بَعْدُ» فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ لَا أُصَالِحُكَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ أَبَدًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «فَأَجِزْهُ لِي» فَقَالَ مَا أَنَا بِمُجِيزِهِ لَكَ قَالَ فَافْعَلْ قَالَ مَا أَنَا بِفَاعِلٍ قَالَ مِكْرَزٌ بَلْ قَدْ أَجَزْنَاهُ لَكَ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَنْدَلِ بْنُ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو يَا مَعْشَرُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أُرَدُّ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَقَدْ جِئْتُ مُسْلِمًا أَلَا تَرَوْنَ إِلَى مَا قَدْ لَقِيتُ وَكَانَ قَدْ عُذِّبَ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا فِي اللَّهِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَاللَّهِ مَا شَكَكْتُ مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُ إِلَّا يَوْمَئِذٍ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ أَلَسْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حَقًّا قَالَ «بَلَى» قُلْتُ أَلَسْنَا عَلَى الْحَقِّ وَعَدُوُّنَا عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ؟ قَالَ «بَلَى» قُلْتُ فَلِمَ نُعْطِي الدَّنِيَّةَ فِي دِينِنَا إِذَا قَالَ «إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَلَسْتُ أَعْصِي رَبِّي وَهُوَ نَاصِرِيٌّ» قُلْتُ أَوَ لَيْسَ كُنْتَ تُحَدِّثُنَا أَنَّا سَنَأْتِي الْبَيْتَ فَنَطُوفُ بِهِ؟ قَالَ «بَلَى» فَخَبَّرْتُكَ أَنَّكَ تَأْتِيَهِ الْعَامَ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ تَأْتِيَهِ فَتَطُوفُ بِهِ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَلَيْسَ هَذَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ حَقًّا قَالَ بَلَى قُلْتُ أَوَ لَسْنَا عَلَى الْحَقِّ وَعَدُوُّنَا عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ قَالَ بَلَى قُلْتُ فَلِمَ نُعْطِي الدَّنِيَّةَ فِي دِينِنَا إِذَا قَالَ أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ إِنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَلَيْسَ يَعْصِي رَبَّهُ وَهُوَ نَاصِرُهُ فَاسْتَمْسَكَ بِغَرْزِهِ حَتَّى تَمُوتَ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ عَلَى الْحَقِّ قُلْتُ أَوَ لَيْسَ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُنَا أَنَّا سَنَأْتِي الْبَيْتَ وَنَطُوفُ بِهِ؟ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ فَأَخْبَرَكَ أَنَّا نَأْتِيهِ الْعَامَ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ آتِيَهِ وَتَطُوفُ بِهِ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَعَمِلْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ أَعْمَالًا يَعْنِي فِي نَقْضِ الصَّحِيفَةِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَصْحَابَهُ فَقَالَ «انْحَرُوا الْهَدْيَ وَاحْلِقُوا» قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا قَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ رَجَاءَ أَنْ يُحْدِثَ اللَّهُ أَمْرًا فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَقُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ «مَا لَقِيتُ مِنَ النَّاسِ» قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ أَوَ تُحِبُّ ذَاكَ اخْرُجْ وَلَا تُكَلِّمَنَّ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ كَلِمَةً حَتَّى تَنْحَرَ بُدْنَكَ وَتَدْعُو حَالِقَكَ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ وَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى نَحَرَ بُدْنَهُ ثُمَّ دَعَا حَالِقَهُ فَحَلَقَهُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ النَّاسُ جَعَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ يُحَلِّقُ بَعْضًا حَتَّى كَادَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَقْتُلُ بَعْضًا قَالَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ نِسْوَةٌ مُؤْمِنَاتٌ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا جَاءَكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ مُهَاجِرَاتٍ} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ قَالَ فَطَلَّقَ عُمَرُ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ امْرَأَتَيْنِ كَانَتَا لَهُ فِي الشِّرْكِ فَتَزَوَّجَ إِحْدَاهُمَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَالْأُخْرَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ قَالَ رَجَعَ ﷺ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَجَاءَهُ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَهُوَ مُسْلِمٌ فَأَرْسَلُوا فِي طَلَبِهِ رَجُلَيْنِ وَقَالُوا الْعَهْدُ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَ لَنَا فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى الرَّجُلَيْنِ فَخَرَجَا حَتَّى بَلَغَا بِهِ ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ فَنَزَلُوا يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ تَمْرٍ لَهُمْ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ لِأَحَدِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ وَاللَّهِ لَأَرَى سَيْفَكَ هَذَا يَا فُلَانُ جَيِّدًا فَقَالَ أَجَلْ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَجَيِّدٌ لَقَدْ جَرَّبْتُ بِهِ ثُمَّ جَرَّبْتُ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ أَرِنِي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَمْكَنَهُ مِنْهُ فَضَرَبَهُ حَتَّى بَرَدَ وَفَرَّ الْآخَرُ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَدِينَةَ فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ يَعْدُو فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَقَدْ رَأَى هَذَا ذُعْرًا» فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَتَلَ وَاللَّهِ صَاحِبِي وَإِنِّي لَمَقْتُولٌ فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَدْ وَاللَّهِ أَوْفَى اللَّهُ ذِمَّتَكَ قَدْ رَدَدْتَنِي إِلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ أَنْجَانِي اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «وَيْلُ أُمِّهِ لَوْ كَانَ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ» فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ عَرَفَ أَنَّهُ سَيَرُدُّهُ إِلَيْهِمْ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَخَرَجَ حَتَّى أَتَى سَيْفَ الْبَحْرِ قَالَ وَتَفَلَّتَ مِنْهُمْ أَبُو جَنْدَلِ بْنُ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فَلَحِقَ بِأَبِي بَصِيرٍ فَجَعَلَ لَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ رَجُلٌ أَسْلَمَ إِلَّا لَحِقَ بِأَبِي بَصِيرٍ حَتَّى اجْتَمَعَتْ مِنْهُمْ عِصَابَةٌ قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا يَسْمَعُونَ بِعِيرٍ خَرَجَتْ لِقُرَيْشٍ إِلَى الشَّامِ إِلَّا اعْتَرَضُوا لَهَا فَقَتَلُوهُمْ وَأَخَذُوا أَمْوَالَهُمْ فَأَرْسَلَتْ قُرَيْشٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تُنَاشِدُهُ اللَّهَ وَالرَّحِمَ لَمَا أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِمَّنْ أَتَاهُ فَهُوَ آمِنٌ فَأَرْسَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَيْهِمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا {وَهُوَ الَّذِي كَفَّ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنْكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ عَنْهُمْ بِبَطْنِ مَكَّةَ} حَتَّى بَلَغَ حَمِيَّةَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَكَانَتْ حَمِيَّتُهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُقِرُّوا أَنَّهُ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ وَلَمْ يُقِرُّوا بِبِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
✧ I have not seen anyone more consultative with his companions than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Al-Zuhri said in his hadith from 'Urwah from al-Miswar and Marwan in their hadith: They departed until when they were on part of the road, the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Khalid b. al-Walid is at al-Ghamim with cavalry of Quraysh as a vanguard, so take the right path.' By Allah, Khalid b. al-Walid did not notice them until he saw the dust of the army, so he rushed back as a warner to Quraysh. The Prophet ﷺ proceeded until he was at the mountain pass from which he would descend upon them. When he reached it, his she-camel knelt down. The people said, 'Hal, hal!' She kept kneeling. They said, 'Al-Qaswa' has become stubborn.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Al-Qaswa' has not become stubborn, and that is not her nature, but she has been held back by the One who held back the elephant.' Then he said, 'By Him in whose hand is my soul, they will not ask me for any plan by which they honor the sanctities of Allah except that I grant it to them.' Then he urged her, and she leapt up with him. He turned away from them until he camped at the far side of al-Hudaybiyyah on a small water source that people were sipping from sparingly. The people did not linger before they exhausted it. Thirst was complained of to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so he took out an arrow from his quiver and ordered them to put it in the water. It kept gushing for them with water until they all drank their fill. While they were thus, Budayl b. Warqa' al-Khuza'i came to him with a group of his people from Khuza'ah, who were the confidants of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ among the people of Tihamah. He said, 'I left Ka'b b. Lu'ayy and 'Amir b. Lu'ayy encamped at the water sources of al-Hudaybiyyah, with them were nursing camels and their young. They are fighting you and preventing you from the Sacred House.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'We have not come to fight anyone, but we have come to perform 'Umrah. Quraysh have been exhausted by war and harmed by it. If they wish, I will grant them a truce for a period, and they will leave me alone with the people. If we prevail and they wish to enter into what the people have entered, they may do so, and they have rested. But if they refuse, by Him in whose hand is my soul, I will fight them for this matter of mine until my neck is severed, or Allah will make His command prevail.' Budayl b. Warqa' said, 'I will convey to them what you say.' He went until he came to Quraysh and said, 'We have come to you from this man, and we heard him say something. If you wish, we will present it to you.' Their fools said, 'We have no need for you to tell us anything about him.' Those of sound judgment said, 'Give us what you heard him say.' He said, 'I heard him say such and such,' and he informed them of what the Prophet ﷺ said. At that, Abu Mas'ud 'Urwah b. Mas'ud al-Thaqafi stood up and said, 'O people, am I not the father?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Am I not the son?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Do you accuse me?' They said, 'No.' He said, 'Do you not know that I called upon the people of 'Ukaz, and when they refused me, I came to you with my family, children, and those who obeyed me?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'This man has offered you a plan of guidance, so accept it and let me go to him.' They said, 'Go to him.' He went and began to speak with the Prophet ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said something similar to what he had said to Budayl b. Warqa'. 'Urwah b. Mas'ud said, 'O Muhammad, do you think that if you exterminate your people, have you heard of any Arab who destroyed his own root before you? And if it is the other way, by Allah, I see faces and a mixture of people who are likely to flee and abandon you.' Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, ؓ, said, 'Suck the clitoris of al-Lat! Would we flee and abandon him?' Abu Mas'ud said, 'Who is this?' They said, 'Abu Bakr b. Abi Quhafah.' He said, 'By Him in whose hand is my soul, were it not for a favor you did for me that I have not repaid, I would have answered you.' He continued speaking with the Prophet ﷺ, and whenever he spoke to him, he grabbed his beard. Al-Mughirah b. Shu'bah al-Thaqafi was standing at the head of the Prophet ﷺ, wearing a sword and helmet. Whenever 'Urwah reached his hand to the beard of the Prophet ﷺ, he struck his hand with the scabbard of the sword and said, 'Keep your hand away from the beard of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' 'Urwah raised his head and said, 'Who is this?' They said, 'Al-Mughirah b. Shu'bah al-Thaqafi.' He said, 'O treacherous one, am I not striving to rectify your treachery?' Al-Mughirah b. Shu'bah had accompanied a people in the Jahiliyyah, killed them, and taken their wealth, then he came and embraced Islam. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, 'As for Islam, I accept it, but as for the wealth, I have nothing to do with it.' Then 'Urwah began to observe the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with his eyes. By Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not spit except that his spittle fell into the hand of one of them, and he would rub it on his face and skin. If he commanded them, they hastened to obey his command. If he performed ablution, they almost fought over his ablution water. If he spoke, they lowered their voices in his presence and did not stare at him out of reverence for him. 'Urwah b. Mas'ud returned to his companions and said, 'O people, by Allah, I have visited kings, I have visited Khosrau, Caesar, and the Negus, and by Allah, I have never seen a king whose companions honor him as the companions of Muhammad honor Muhammad. By Allah, he does not spit except that his spittle falls into the hand of one of them, and he rubs it on his face and skin. If he commands them, they rush to obey his command. If he performs ablution, they fight over his ablution water. When he speaks, they lower their voices in his presence and do not stare at him out of reverence for him. He has offered you a plan of guidance, so accept it.' A man from Banu Kinanah said, 'Let me go to him.' When he came in sight of the Prophet ﷺ, the Prophet ﷺ said, 'This is so-and-so from a people who venerate sacrificial camels, so send them to him.' So they were sent, and the people met him while reciting the talbiyah. When he saw that, he said, 'Glory be to Allah! It is not right for these people to be prevented from the House.' When he returned to his companions, he said, 'I saw the sacrificial camels garlanded and marked, so I do not think they should be prevented from the House.' A man from among them called Mikraz stood up and said, 'Let me go to him.' They said, 'Go to him.' When he came in sight of them, the Prophet ﷺ said, 'This is Mikraz, and he is a wicked man.' He began to speak with the Prophet ﷺ. While he was speaking with him, Suhayl b. 'Amr came. Ma'mar said: Ayyub al-Sakhtiyani informed me from 'Ikrimah: When Suhayl came, the Prophet ﷺ said, 'This is Suhayl; Allah has made your affair easy for you.' Ma'mar said in his hadith from al-Zuhri from 'Urwah from al-Miswar and Marwan: When Suhayl came, he said, 'Come, write a treaty between us and you.' The scribe was called, and he said, 'Write: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.' Suhayl said, 'As for the Most Gracious, I do not know, by Allah, what it is, but write: In Your name, O Allah.' Then the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Write: This is what Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, has agreed upon.' Suhayl b. 'Amr said, 'If we knew that you were the Messenger of Allah, we would not have prevented you from the House nor fought you, but write Muhammad b. 'Abdullah.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'By Allah, I am indeed the Messenger of Allah, even if you disbelieve me. Write Muhammad b. 'Abdullah.' Al-Zuhri said: That was because of his saying, 'They will not ask me for any plan by which they honor the sanctities of Allah except that I grant it to them.' He said in his hadith from 'Urwah from al-Miswar and Marwan: The Prophet ﷺ said, 'On condition that you leave us alone with the House so that we may circumambulate it.' Suhayl b. 'Amr said, 'The Arabs must not say that we were forced, but you will have it next year.' He wrote that. Suhayl b. 'Amr said, 'On condition that no man from us comes to you, even if he is on your religion or wants your religion, except that you return him to us.' The Muslims said, 'Glory be to Allah! How can a man be returned to the polytheists when he has come as a Muslim?' While they were thus, Abu Jandal b. Suhayl b. 'Amr came dragging his chains, having escaped from the lower part of Makkah until he threw himself among the Muslims. Suhayl b. 'Amr said, 'O Muhammad, this is the first one with whom I will settle the treaty: you must return him to me.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'We have not yet concluded the treaty.' He said, 'By Allah, I will never make peace with you on anything.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Then grant him to me.' He said, 'I will not grant him to you.' He said, 'Do it.' He said, 'I will not do it.' Mikraz said, 'Rather, we have granted him to you.' Abu Jandal b. Suhayl b. 'Amr said, 'O assembly of Muslims, am I to be returned to the polytheists after I have come as a Muslim? Do you not see what I have suffered?' He had been severely tortured for the sake of Allah. 'Umar b. al-Khattab, ؓ, said, 'By Allah, I have not doubted since I embraced Islam except on that day. I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Are you not truly the Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Are we not on the truth and our enemies on falsehood?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Then why do we accept humiliation in our religion?" He said, "I am the Messenger of Allah, and I do not disobey my Lord, and He will help me." I said, "Did you not tell us that we would come to the House and circumambulate it?" He said, "Yes, but did I tell you that you would come to it this year?" I said, "No." He said, "Then you will come to it and circumambulate it." Then I came to Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, ؓ, and said, "O Abu Bakr, is this not truly the Prophet of Allah?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Are we not on the truth and our enemies on falsehood?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Then why do we accept humiliation in our religion?" He said, "O man, he is the Messenger of Allah, and he does not disobey his Lord, and He will help him. Hold fast to his stirrup until you die, for by Allah, he is on the truth." I said, "Did he not tell us that we would come to the House and circumambulate it?" He said, "Yes, but did he tell you that you would come to it this year?" I said, "No." He said, "Then you will come to it and circumambulate it." 'Umar b. al-Khattab, ؓ, said, 'I did some deeds regarding that, meaning regarding the nullification of the document.' When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished the treaty, he ordered his companions, saying, 'Slaughter the sacrificial animals and shave your heads.' By Allah, not one of them stood up, hoping that Allah would bring about a change. When none of them stood, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to Umm Salamah and said, 'What I have encountered from the people!' Umm Salamah said, 'Do you want that? Go out and do not speak a word to any of them until you slaughter your sacrificial camel and call your barber.' The Prophet ﷺ stood up and went out, and did not speak to anyone until he slaughtered his sacrificial camel, then he called his barber and had his head shaved. When the people saw that, they began shaving one another until some of them almost killed others. Then some believing women came, and Allah revealed: "O you who have believed, when the believing women come to you as emigrants..." to the end of the verse. 'Umar, ؓ, divorced two wives he had in polytheism, one of whom Mu'awiyah b. Abi Sufyan married and the other Safwan b. Umayyah. The Prophet ﷺ returned to Madinah, and Abu Basir, a man from Quraysh who was a Muslim, came to him. They sent two men after him, saying, 'Remember the treaty you made with us.' He handed him over to the two men. They left with him until they reached Dhu al-Hulayfah, where they dismounted to eat some dates they had. Abu Basir said to one of the two men, 'By Allah, I see that your sword, O so-and-so, is excellent.' He said, 'Yes, by Allah, it is excellent. I have tried it and tried it again.' Abu Basir said, 'Show it to me, let me look at it.' He gave it to him, and Abu Basir struck him until he died. The other man fled until he reached Madinah and entered the mosque running. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'This man has seen something terrifying.' When he reached the Prophet ﷺ, he said, 'By Allah, my companion has been killed, and I am as good as dead.' Abu Basir came and said, 'O Prophet of Allah, by Allah, Allah has fulfilled your protection. You returned me to them, and then Allah saved me from them.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Woe to his mother, if only he had someone with him.' When Abu Basir heard that, he knew that he would return him to them again, so he left until he reached the coast. Abu Jandal b. Suhayl b. 'Amr escaped from them and joined Abu Basir. No man from Quraysh embraced Islam except that he joined Abu Basir, until a band of them gathered. By Allah, they did not hear of any caravan of Quraysh going to Syria except that they intercepted it, killed them, and took their wealth. Quraysh sent to the Prophet ﷺ, adjuring him by Allah and kinship to send word to those who came to him, and they would be safe. The Prophet ﷺ sent word to them, and Allah, Mighty and Sublime, revealed: "And it is He who withheld their hands from you and your hands from them in the valley of Makkah..." until "the fervor of the Jahiliyyah." Their fervor was that they did not acknowledge that he was the Prophet of Allah and did not acknowledge "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful."

✧ The Prophet ﷺ performed 'Umrah in Dhu al-Qa'dah, and the people of Makkah refused to let him enter Makkah until he made a treaty with them that he would stay there for three days. When they wrote the document, they wrote, 'This is what Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, has agreed upon.' They said, 'We do not acknowledge this. If we knew that you were the Messenger of Allah, we would not have prevented you from anything, but you are Muhammad b. 'Abdullah.' He said, 'I am the Messenger of Allah, and I am Muhammad b. 'Abdullah.' He said to 'Ali, 'Erase "Messenger of Allah."' He said, 'By Allah, I will never erase you.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the document, and he did not know how to write, so he ordered it to be written, and in place of "Messenger of Allah" he wrote "Muhammad." So he wrote: 'This is what Muhammad b. 'Abdullah has agreed upon: that he will not enter Makkah with weapons except the sword in its sheath, and he will not take out anyone who follows him, and he will not prevent any of his companions if he wants to stay there.' When he entered it and the term elapsed, they came to 'Ali and said, 'Tell your companion to leave us, for the term has elapsed.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ left, and the daughter of Hamzah followed them, calling, 'O uncle, O uncle!' 'Ali, ؓ, took her by the hand and said to Fatimah, 'Take care of your cousin's daughter,' and she carried her. 'Ali, Zayd, and Ja'far disputed about her. 'Ali said, 'I took her, and she is my cousin's daughter.' Ja'far said, 'She is my cousin's daughter, and her maternal aunt is my wife.' Zayd said, 'She is my brother's daughter.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled in favor of her maternal aunt and said, 'The maternal aunt is like the mother.' He said to 'Ali, 'You are from me and I am from you.' He said to Ja'far, 'You resemble me in appearance and character.' He said to Zayd, 'You are our brother and our client.'

حَدَّثَنِي أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِائَةٍ»
✧ He narrated to me that they were one thousand five hundred.
أَنَّهُ قَالَ «كُنَّا يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ أَلْفًا وَأَرْبَعَ مِائَةٍ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ وَعُمَرُ آخِذٌ بِيَدِهِ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ وَهِيَ السَّمُرَةُ» وَقَالَ «بَايَعْنَاهُ عَلَى أَنْ لَا نَفِرَّ وَلَمْ نُبَايِعْهُ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ»
✧ He said, 'We were on the day of al-Hudaybiyyah one thousand four hundred, and we pledged allegiance to him while 'Umar was holding his hand under the tree, which was a samurah tree.' And he said, 'We pledged allegiance to him that we would not flee, and we did not pledge allegiance to him on death.'
بَايَعَ النَّاسُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَهُوَ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ وَأَنَا رَافِعٌ غُصْنًا مِنْ أَغْصَانِهَا عَنْ وَجْهِهِ فَلَمْ نُبَايِعْهُ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ وَلَكِنْ بَايَعْنَاهُ عَلَى أَنْ لَا نَفِرَّ وَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَلْفٌ وَأَرْبَعُ مِائَةٍ»
✧ The people pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the time of al-Hudaybiyyah while he was under the tree, and I was lifting a branch from its branches from his face. We did not pledge allegiance to him on death, but we pledged allegiance to him that we would not flee. They were that day one thousand four hundred.

✧ He came with a letter from Quraysh to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, 'When I saw the Prophet ﷺ, Islam was cast into my heart, and I said, "O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I will never return to them."' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I do not break treaties, and I do not detain messengers, but return to them. If what is in your heart now remains, then come back.' He said, 'I returned to them. Then I came back to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and embraced Islam.'
لَمَّا حَضَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ الْبَيْتِ صَالَحَهُ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ عَنْ أَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا وَيُقِيمُ بِهَا ثَلَاثًا وَلَا يَدْخُلُهَا إِلَّا بِجُلُبَّانِ السِّلَاحِ السَّيْفِ وَقِرَابِهِ وَلَا يَخْرُجُ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ مِمَّنْ دَخَلَ مَعَهُ وَلَا يَمْنَعُ أَحَدًا يَمْكُثُ فِيهَا مِمَّنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِعَلِيٍّ «اكْتُبِ الشَّرْطَ بَيْنَنَا هَذَا مَا قَاضَى عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ» فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ لَوْ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بَايَعْنَاكَ وَلَكِنِ اكْتُبْ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «امْحُهُ وَاكْتُبْ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ» فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لَا أَمْحُوهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «امْحُهُ وَاكْتُبْ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ» فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لَا أَمْحُوهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَرِنِي مَكَانَهُ حَتَّى أَمْحُوَهُ فَمَحَاهُ وَكَتَبَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ» فَأَقَامَ بِهَا ثَلَاثًا فَلَمَّا كَانَ آخِرَ الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ قَالُوا لِعَلِيٍّ قَدْ مَضَى شَرْطُ صَاحِبِكَ فَمُرْهُ فَلْيَخْرُجْ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ
✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to the House, the people of Makkah made a treaty with him that he could enter it and stay for three days, and that he would not enter it except with the sheathed sword and its scabbard, and that no one who entered with him should leave with him, and that he would not prevent anyone who was with him from staying in it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to 'Ali, 'Write the condition between us: This is what Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, has agreed upon.' The polytheists said, 'If we knew that you were the Messenger of Allah, we would have pledged allegiance to you, but write Muhammad b. 'Abdullah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Erase it and write Muhammad b. 'Abdullah.' 'Ali said, 'I will not erase it.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Erase it and write Muhammad b. 'Abdullah.' 'Ali said, 'I will not erase it.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Show me its place so that I may erase it,' and he erased it and wrote Muhammad b. 'Abdullah. He stayed there for three days. When it was the end of the third day, they said to 'Ali, 'The condition of your companion has elapsed, so order him to leave.' He informed him of that, and he said, 'Yes.'

✧ There is no enmity between me and any Arab. I passed by a mosque of Banu Hanifah, and they believed in Musaylimah. He sent 'Abdullah to them, and they were brought to him. He asked them to repent, except Ibn al-Nawwahah. He said to him, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Were it not that you are a messenger, I would have struck your neck, and today you are not a messenger."' He ordered Qurazah b. Ka'b, and he struck his neck in the market. Then he said, 'Whoever wants to look at Ibn al-Nawwahah, let him look at him dead in the market.'

«عَادَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَهُودِيًّا»
✧ The Prophet ﷺ visited a sick Jewish boy.
أَنَّ غُلَامًا يَهُودِيًّا كَانَ يَخْدُمُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَمَرِضَ فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَسْلِمْ» فَنَظَرَ إِلَى أَبِيهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَطِعِ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ فَأَسْلَمَ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَنْقَذَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ»
✧ A Jewish boy used to serve the Prophet ﷺ, and he fell ill. The Prophet ﷺ came to visit him and said, "Accept Islam." He looked at his father who was sitting near his head, and his father said, "Obey Abū al-Qāsim." So he accepted Islam. The Prophet ﷺ then left, saying, "Praise be to Allah who saved him from the Fire."
