«كَانَ مُشْرِكُو قُرَيْشٍ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُخَالِفُونَهُ فِي الْقَدَرِ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {إِنَّ الْمُجْرِمِينَ فِي ضَلَالٍ وَسُعُرٍ يَوْمَ يُسْحَبُونَ فِي النَّارِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ ذُوقُوا مَسَّ سَقَرَ إِنَّا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَاهُ بِقَدَرٍ} »
"Idolaters from the Quraish came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ quarreling about Al-Qadar. So this Ayah was revealed: "The day they will be dragged on their faces into the Fire (it will be said to them): "Taste you the touch of Hell." Verily we have created all things with Qadar.

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَاقَتِي مَعْقُولَةٌ بِالْبَابِ إِذْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ نَفَرٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ جِئْنَاكَ لِنَتَفَقَّهَ فِي الدِّينِ وَنَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ أَوَّلِ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ مَا كَانَ؟ قَالَ ﷺ «كَانَ اللَّهُ وَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ غَيْرَهُ وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ كَتَبَ فِي الذِّكْرِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ ثُمَّ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ»
✧ I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and my she-camel was hobbled at the door when a group from Banū Tamīm entered upon him and said, “O Messenger of Allah, we have come to you to gain understanding in the religion and to ask you about the beginning of this matter: what was it?” He ﷺ said, “Allah existed and there was nothing other than Him, and His Throne was upon the water, then He wrote in the Remembrance everything, then He created the heavens and the earth.”
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ نَرَى رَبَّنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ قَالَ «هَلْ تَرَوْنَ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ الْقَمَرَ أَوِ الشَّمْسَ بِغَيْرِ سَحَابٍ؟ » قَالُوا نَعَمْ
✧ I said, “O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?” He said, “Do you see the moon on the night of the full moon, or the sun, without clouds?” They said, “Yes.”

✧ I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a group from Banū Tamīm came to him and he said, “Receive the glad tidings, O Banū Tamīm.” They said, “You have given us glad tidings, O Messenger of Allah, so give us.” Then some people from the people of Yemen entered upon him and he said, “Receive the glad tidings, O people of Yemen, since Banū Tamīm did not accept it.” They said, “We have accepted, O Messenger of Allah. We have come to gain understanding in the religion and to ask you about the beginning of this matter: what was it?” He said, “Allah existed and there was nothing before Him, and His Throne was upon the water, then He created the heavens and the earth and wrote in the Remembrance everything.”

✧ “Verily Allah created, on the day He created the heavens and the earth, one hundred mercies, each filling the space between the heavens and the earth. He placed in the earth one mercy from them, by which the mother shows compassion to her child and wild beasts show compassion to one another, and He deferred ninety-nine until the Day of Resurrection. So when it is the Day of Resurrection, He will complete them with this mercy to one hundred.”
«إِنَّ لِلَّهَ مِائَةَ رَحْمَةٍ أَنْزَلَ مِنْهَا رَحْمَةً وَاحِدَةً بَيْنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنْسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ فَبِهَا يَتَعَاطَفُونَ وَبِهَا يَتَرَاحَمُونَ وَبِهَا تَعْطِفُ الْوحُوشُ عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا وَأَخَّرَ تِسْعًا وَتِسْعِينَ رَحْمَةً يَرْحَمُ بِهَا عِبَادَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»
✧ “Verily, Allah has one hundred mercies. He sent down from them one mercy among the jinn, humans, and beasts. By it they show mutual affection and by it they show mutual compassion, and by it wild beasts show compassion to their young. He deferred ninety-nine mercies with which He will show mercy to His servants on the Day of Resurrection.”
«جَعَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الرَّحْمَةَ مِائَةَ جُزْءٍ فَأَمْسَكَ عِنْدَهُ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ وَأَنْزَلَ فِي الْأَرْضِ جُزْءًا وَاحِدًا فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ الْجُزْءِ يَتَرَاحَمُ الْخَلَائِقُ حَتَّى تَرْفَعَ الدَّابَّةُ حَافِرَهَا عَنْ وَلَدِهَا خَشْيَةَ أَنْ تُصِيبَهُ»
✧ “Allah, Majestic and Exalted, made mercy one hundred parts. He kept with Himself ninety-nine and sent down on the earth one part. From that part creatures show compassion to one another, so much so that an animal lifts her hoof from her young for fear of striking it.”

✧ "When Allah created Adam, he sneezed, and his Lord inspired him to say, 'Praise be to Allah.' His Lord said to him, 'May Allah have mercy on you.' Therefore, His mercy preceded His wrath."

«لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ الرُّوحَ عَطَسَ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَبُّهُ يَرْحَمُكَ رَبُّكَ يَا آدَمُ اذْهَبْ إِلَى أُولَئِكَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ إِلَى مَلَأٍ مِنْهُمْ جُلُوسٍ فَسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالُوا وَعَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ تَحِيَّتُكَ وَتَحِيَّةُ بَنِيكَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَقَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا وَيَدَاهُ مَقْبُوضَتَانِ اخْتَرْ أَيَّهُمَا شِئْتَ فَقَالَ اخْتَرْتُ يَمِينَ رَبِّي وَكِلْتَا يَدَيْ رَبِّي يَمِينٌ مُبَارَكَةٌ ثُمَّ بَسَطَهُمَا فَإِذَا فِيهِمَا آدَمُ وَذُرِّيَّتُهُ فَقَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ مَا هَؤُلَاءِ؟ فَقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ ذُرِّيَّتُكَ فَإِذَا كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْهُمْ مَكْتُوبٌ عُمْرُهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ فَإِذَا فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ أَضْوَؤُهُمْ أَوْ مِنْ أَضْوَئِهِمْ لَمْ يَكْتُبْ لَهُ إِلَّا أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ يَا رَبِّ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ هَذَا ابْنُكَ دَاوُدُ وَقَدْ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ عُمْرَهُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ زِدْهُ فِي عُمْرِهِ قَالَ ذَاكَ الَّذِي كَتَبْتُ لَهُ
✧ When Allah created Adam and breathed into him the spirit, he sneezed and said, "Praise be to Allah," so he praised Allah by Allah's permission. His Lord said to him, "May your Lord have mercy on you, O Adam. Go to those angels, to a group of them sitting, and greet them." He said, "Peace be upon you." They said, "And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah." Then he returned to his Lord, and He said, "This is your greeting and the greeting of your descendants among one another." And Allah, Mighty and Exalted, said, with His two hands closed, "Choose whichever of them you wish." He said, "I choose the right hand of my Lord, and both hands of my Lord are blessed right hands." Then He spread them open, and there in them were Adam and his descendants. He said, "My Lord, who are these?" He said, "These are your descendants." And every human among them had his lifespan written between his eyes, and among them was a man, the brightest of them or one of the brightest, for whom only forty years were written. He said, "My Lord, what is this?" He said, "This is your son Dawud, and Allah has written his lifespan as forty years." He said, "My Lord, increase his lifespan." He said, "That is what I have written for him."
«الْأَرْوَاحُ جُنُودٌ مُجَنَّدَةٌ فَمَا تَعَارَفَ مِنْهَا ائْتَلَفَ وَمَا تَنَاكَرَ مِنْهَا اخْتَلَفَ»

✧ I entered upon Abdullah b. Umar and said, "They claim that you say the wretched is one who was wretched in his mother's womb." He said, "I do not permit anyone to lie about me. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Indeed Allah created His creation in darkness and cast upon them from His light. Whoever was reached by that light is guided, and whoever missed it goes astray.' That is why I say the pen has dried concerning Allah's, Mighty and Exalted, knowledge."

✧ I said to Abdullah b. Amr, "It has reached me that you say the pen has dried." He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Indeed Allah, Mighty and Exalted, created people in darkness, then took light from His light and cast it upon them.

The two that necessitate: whoever says 'There is no god but Allah' or says believing in Allah enters Paradise, and whoever dies associating partners with Allah enters the Fire. Whoever intends a good deed and does it, ten times its like is written for him; whoever intends a good deed but does not do it, one good deed is written for him; whoever intends an evil deed but does not do it, one good deed is written for him; whoever intends an evil deed and does it, one evil deed is written for him, not multiplied. Whoever spends a surplus expenditure in the way of Allah, it is seven hundred-fold."

Then a man from the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Hudhayfa b. Asid al-Ghifari came and narrated that from the saying of Ibn Mas'ud. He said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "When the drop has passed forty-two nights, Allah sends to it an angel who shapes it and creates its hearing, sight, skin, flesh, and bones. Then he says, 'My Lord, male or female?' And your Lord decrees what He wills, and the angel writes it. Then he says, 'My Lord, its term?' And your Lord decrees what He wills, and the angel writes it.

✧ the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'There has not been a prophet except that he had disciples whom he would guide with his guidance and who would follow his Sunnah (way of life). Then after them, there would be generations who would say what they do not do and do what they disapprove of. So, whoever fights against them with his hands, he is a believer, and whoever fights against them with his tongue, he is a believer, and whoever fights against them with his heart, he is a believer. There is no faith beyond that even to the weight of a mustard seed.'

✧ And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'I am the closest of people to Jesus, son of Mary, in this world and the Hereafter.' They said: 'How is that, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'The prophets are paternal half-brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion is one. And there is no prophet between us.'
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَنَا أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِعِيسَى الْأَنْبِيَاءُ أَبْنَاءُ عَلَّاتٍ وَلَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عِيسَى نَبِيٌّ»
✧ The Prophet ﷺ said: 'I am the closest of people to Jesus. The prophets are sons of co-wives, and there is no prophet between me and Jesus.'
«إِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةً دَعَاهَا فِي أُمَّتِهِ وَإِنِّي اخْتَبَأْتُ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, every prophet has a prayer that he made for his Ummah (community), and I have hidden my prayer as an intercession for my Ummah."
لَمَّا جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحِجْرَ قَالَ «لَا تَسْأَلُوا نَبِيَّكُمُ الْآيَاتِ هَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمُ صَالِحٍ سَأَلُوا نَبِيَّهُمْ آيَةً فَكَانَتِ النَّاقَةُ تَرِدُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ هَذَا الْفَجِّ وَتَصْدُرُ مِنْ هَذَا الْفَجِّ فَيَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ لَبَنِهَا يَوْمَ وُرُودِهَا مِثْلَ مَا غَبَّهُمْ مِنْ مَائِهِمْ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَوُعِدُوا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَكَانَ وَعْدٌ غَيْرُ مَكْذُوبٍ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ تَحْتَ أَدِيمِ السَّمَاءِ رَجُلٌ إِلَّا أَهْلَكَتْ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ فِي الْحَرَمِ مَنَعَهُ الْحَرَمُ مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ هُوَ؟ قَالَ «أَبُو رِغَالٍ أَبُو ثَقِيفٍ»
✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to al-Hijr, he said: "Do not ask your Prophet for signs. These are the people of Salih. They asked their Prophet for a sign, and the she-camel used to come to them from this mountain pass and leave from that mountain pass, and they would drink her milk on the day she came, as much as their water satisfied them. Then they hamstrung her, and they were promised three days, and it was a promise not to be belied. Then the Cry seized them, and there did not remain under the canopy of the sky a single man except that it destroyed him, except for one man in the Sanctuary whom the Sanctuary protected from the punishment of Allah." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, who is he?" He said: "Abu Righal, the father of Thaqif."
«أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَمَرُّوا عَلَى قَبْرِ أَبِي رِغَالٍ وَهُوَ أَبُو ثَقِيفٍ وَهُوَ امْرُؤٌ مِنْ ثَمُودَ مَنْزِلُهُ بِحَرَّاءَ فَلَمَّا أَهْلَكَ اللَّهُ قَوْمَهُ بِمَا أَهْلَكَهُمْ بِهِ مَنَعَهُ لِمَكَانِهِ مِنَ الْحَرَمِ وَأَنَّهُ خَرَجَ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ هَاهُنَا مَاتَ فَدُفِنَ مَعَهُ غُصْنٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَابْتَدَرْنَا فَاسْتَخْرَجْنَاهُ»
✧ "They were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and they passed by the grave of Abu Righal, and he is the father of Thaqif, and he was a man from Thamud whose dwelling was in Harra'. When Allah destroyed his people with what He destroyed them, He protected him because of his location in the Sanctuary, and he went out until when he reached here, he died and was buried, and with him was a branch of gold, so we hastened and extracted it."

He will be told, "Would you be content if you were given a kingdom equal to the kingdoms of the world?" He will say, "I am content, my Lord." He will be told, "You will have that and ten times as much." He will say, "I am content, my Lord." He will be told, "You will have that and whatever your soul desires and your eye finds delight in." Moses asked his Lord, 'Which people of Paradise will have the highest rank?' He said, 'I will tell you about those whom I have created with My own hand and sealed with My own seal. No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has ever imagined their reward.' The proof of that is in the Book of Allah the Exalted, where He says, "No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do." (Quran 32:17)"
«سَأَلَ مُوسَى رَبَّهُ عَنْ سِتِّ خِصَالٍ كَانَ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهَا لَهُ خَالِصَةً وَالسَّابِعَةُ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُوسَى يُحِبُّهَا قَالَ يَا رَبِّ أَيُّ عِبَادِكَ أَتْقَى؟ قَالَ الَّذِي يَذْكُرُ وَلَا يَنْسَى قَالَ فَأَيُّ عِبَادِكَ أَهْدَى؟ قَالَ الَّذِي يَتْبَعُ الْهُدَى قَالَ فَأَيُّ عِبَادِكَ أَحْكُمُ؟ قَالَ الَّذِي يَحْكُمُ لِلنَّاسِ كَمَا يَحْكُمُ لِنَفْسِهِ قَالَ فَأَيُّ عِبَادِكَ أَعْلَمُ؟ قَالَ عَالِمٌ لَا يَشْبَعُ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ يَجْمَعُ عِلْمَ النَّاسِ إِلَى عِلْمِهِ قَالَ فَأَيُّ عِبَادِكَ أَعَزُّ؟ قَالَ الَّذِي إِذَا قَدَرَ غَفَرَ قَالَ فَأَيُّ عِبَادِكَ أَغْنَى؟ قَالَ الَّذِي يَرْضَى بِمَا يُؤْتَى قَالَ فَأَيُّ عِبَادِكَ أَفْقَرُ؟ قَالَ صَاحِبٌ مَنْقُوصٌ» قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَيْسَ الْغِنَى عَنْ ظَهْرٍ إِنَّمَا الْغِنَى غِنَى النَّفْسِ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْرًا جَعَلَ غِنَاهُ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَتُقَاهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِعَبْدٍ شَرًّا جَعَلَ فَقْرَهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ»
✧ "Moses asked his Lord about six qualities which he thought were exclusively his, and a seventh which Moses did not like. He said: 'O Lord, which of Your servants is most pious?' He said: 'The one who remembers and does not forget.' He said: 'Which of Your servants is most guided?' He said: 'The one who follows guidance.' He said: 'Which of Your servants is most wise in judgment?' He said: 'The one who judges for people as he judges for himself.' He said: 'Which of Your servants is most knowledgeable?' He said: 'A scholar who is not satiated with knowledge, who gathers people's knowledge to his own.' He said: 'Which of Your servants is most honored?' He said: 'The one who, when he has power, forgives.' He said: 'Which of Your servants is most self-sufficient?' He said: 'The one who is content with what he is given.' He said: 'Which of Your servants is most poor?' He said: 'A person who is deprived.'" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Self-sufficiency is not from abundance of goods; self-sufficiency is richness of the soul. If Allah wants good for a servant, He places his richness in his soul and his piety in his heart. If Allah wants evil for a servant, He places his poverty before his eyes."

He said, 'Say, "There is no god but Allah."' He said, 'I only want something that You single me out for.' He said, 'O Moses, if the people of the seven heavens and the seven earths were in one pan of a scale, and "There is no god but Allah" in the other, it would outweigh them: "There is no god but Allah."'"

He said: "It is as if I can see Moses throwing stones at the jamrah on a red camel, its halter of palm fiber, and upon him a woolen cloak."

✧ I said to Ibn 'Abbas: 'Nawf al-Bikali claims that Moses ﷺ is not the companion of al-Khidr, but it was another Moses.' He said: 'The enemy of Allah has lied. Ubayy b. Ka'b informed us from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said: "Moses stood up among the Children of Israel as a preacher, and it was said to him: 'Who is the most knowledgeable of people?' He said: 'I am.' Allah reproached him for not attributing knowledge to Him, so He said: 'A servant of Mine at the junction of the two seas is more knowledgeable than you.' He said: 'O Lord, how can I reach him?' He said: 'Take a fish and put it in a basket; wherever you lose the fish, he will be there.' So he took the fish and placed it in the basket and gave it to his servant. They set out until they came to the rock. Moses slept, and the fish stirred in the basket, came out, and fell into the sea. Allah held back the flow of water for it, making it like an arch, so that the sea became a path for the fish, and a wonder for Moses and his servant. They went on walking. When it was the next day, Moses felt fatigue and said: 'Bring us our meal; we have certainly met with fatigue from this journey of ours.'"

✧ «Indeed Allah, Mighty and Exalted, commanded John son of Zechariah with five words to act upon them and to command the Children of Israel to act upon them. And Jesus said to him: Indeed Allah has commanded you with five words to act upon them and to command the Children of Israel to act upon them, so either you command them or I command them. He said: So he gathered the people in the Temple until it was full, and they sat on the balconies. He admonished them and said: Indeed Allah, Mighty and Exalted, has commanded me with five words to act upon them and command you to act upon them. The first of them is that you worship Allah and associate nothing with Him. The likeness of that is the likeness of a man who bought a servant with his pure wealth, with gold or silver, and said to him: This is my house and this is my work. But the servant began to work and deliver to other than his master. Which of you would be pleased for his servant to be like that? Indeed Allah created you and provided for you, so worship Him and associate nothing with Him. And I command you with prayer, so when you pray, do not turn away, for when a servant does not turn away, He, Mighty and Exalted, faces him with His face. And I command you with fasting, and its likeness is like the likeness of a man who has a sachet containing musk and with him is a group, and he is pleased that they find its scent. Indeed fasting is sweeter with Allah than the scent of musk. And I command you with charity, and its likeness is like the likeness of a man whom the enemy captured, and they bound his hand to his neck and wanted to strike his neck. He said: Will you let me ransom myself? And he began to give them little and much to free himself from them. And I command you with the remembrance of Allah, and its likeness is like the likeness of a man whom the enemy pursued quickly on his trail, and he came to a fortress and secured himself in it. Likewise, the servant does not secure himself from Satan except by the remembrance of Allah.» The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: «And I command you with five things that Allah commanded me with: the congregation, hearing, obedience, emigration, and striving in the path of Allah. Whoever departs from the congregation by a span has removed the bond of Islam from his neck, unless he returns. And whoever calls with the call of the Age of Ignorance is among the heaps of Hell.» A man said: Even if he fasts and prays? He said: «Even if he fasts and prays. So call with the call of Allah, Who has named you the Muslims, the believers, the servants of Allah.»

سُئِلَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {قُلْ لَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَى} فَقَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ قُرْبَى مُحَمَّدٍ؟ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَجِلْتَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَطْنٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ فِيهِمْ قَرَابَةٌ فَقَالَ «إِلَّا أَنْ تَصِلُوا مَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ مِنَ الْقَرَابَةِ»
✧ Ibn ʿAbbas was asked about this verse: “Say: I do not ask you any reward for it except love for the near kin.” Saʿid b. Jubayr said, “The near kin of Muhammad?” Ibn ʿAbbas said, “You are hasty. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not have any clan of Quraysh except that he had kinship among them. So he said: ‘Except that you maintain the kinship between me and you.’”
«النَّاسُ تَبَعٌ لِقُرَيْشٍ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ»
✧ “People are followers of Quraysh in good and evil.”
«الْأَنْصَارُ أَعِفَّةٌ صُبُرٌ وَإِنَّ النَّاسَ تَبَعٌ لِقُرَيْشٍ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ مُؤْمِنُهُمْ تَبَعُ مُؤْمِنِهِمْ وَفَاجِرُهُمْ تَبَعُ فَاجِرِهِمْ»
✧ “The Ansar are chaste and patient. And people follow Quraysh in this matter: their believer follows their believer, and their wicked follows their wicked.”
«لِلْقُرَشِيِّ قُوَّةُ الرَّجُلَيْنِ مِنْ غَيْرِ قُرَيْشٍ»
✧ For a Qurashi there is the strength of two men from other than Quraysh.
«لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ فِي قُرَيْشٍ مَا بَقِيَ فِي النَّاسِ اثْنَانِ»
✧ This affair will not cease to be in Quraysh as long as two people remain among mankind.

«نِسَاءُ قُرَيْشٍ خَيْرُ نِسَاءٍ رَكِبْنَ الْإِبِلَ أَحْنَاهُ عَلَى طِفْلٍ وَأَرْعَاهُ عَلَى زَوْجٍ فِي ذَاتِ يَدِهِ» قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَلَى أَثَرِ ذَلِكَ «وَلَمْ تَرْكَبْ مَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ بَعِيرًا قَطُّ»
✧ The women of Quraysh are the best women who have ridden camels: the most tender to a child and the most attentive to a husband in what his hand possesses. Abu Hurayrah said, following that: And Maryam bt. ʿImrān never rode a camel at all.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ proposed to Umm Hāniʾ bt. Abī Ṭālib, and she said: I have grown old and I have dependents. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The best women who have ridden camels are the women of Quraysh: the most tender to her child in his infancy and the most attentive to a husband in what his hand possesses. And Maryam bt. ʿImrān never rode a camel at all.

✧ My father ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān said to me: O my son, if you are given any authority over the affairs of the Muslims, honor Quraysh, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Whoever humiliates Quraysh, Allah humiliates him.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abū Ṭālib when death was present with him: Say: There is no god but Allah, and I will intercede for you with it on the Day of Resurrection. He said: O son of my brother, were it not that Quraysh would reproach me, I would have made your eyes cool with it. Then it was revealed: {Indeed, you do not guide whom you love}.

✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said: Count every person who has professed Islam. He said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, do you fear for us while we are between six hundred and seven hundred? He ﷺ said: You do not know; perhaps you will be tested. He said: Then we were tested until a man among us would not pray except secretly.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained in Makkah seven years, following people in their dwellings at ʿUkāẓ, Majannah, and the festivals at Minā, saying: Who will give me refuge and help me so that I may convey the messages of my Lord? So much so that a man would come from Yemen or from Miṣr, and his people would come to him and say: Beware of the lad of Quraysh; do not let him tempt you. And he walked among their saddles while they pointed at him with their fingers until Allah sent us from Yathrib, and we gave him refuge and believed him. A man among us would go out, believe in him, teach him the Qurʾān, and return to his family, and they would become Muslims through his Islam, until there remained no dwelling among the dwellings of the Anṣār but that there was in it a group of Muslims openly professing Islam. Then we gathered and said: Until when shall we leave the Prophet ﷺ to be driven away in the mountains of Makkah and to fear? So seventy men from us traveled to him until they came to him at the festival, and we appointed with him the pledge of al-ʿAqabah. We gathered there from one man and two men until we were complete, and we said: O Messenger of Allah, on what shall we pledge allegiance to you? He said: You pledge allegiance to me on hearing and obedience in activity and laziness, on spending in hardship and ease, on enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and that you will say it without caring for the blame of any blamer for the sake of Allah, and that you will help me and protect me when I come to you from what you protect yourselves, your wives, and your children. And for you is Paradise. So we rose to him and pledged allegiance to him. Asʿad b. Zurārah took his hand, and he was among the youngest of them, and said: Gently, O people of Yathrib, for we have not struck the livers of camels except while we know that he is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and that his coming out today is a contention with all the Arabs and the killing of your best men and the swords will bite you. So either you be patient on that, and your reward is with Allah, or you fear cowardice from yourselves, so make that clear, for it is a better excuse for you. They said: Remove your hand from us, for by Allah we will never abandon this pledge ever. So we rose to him and pledged allegiance to him, and he imposed on us and stipulated that He would give us in return for that Paradise.

✧ I saw in a dream that I was migrating from Makkah to a land with palm trees, and my mind went to its being al-Yamāmah and Hajar, but it was al-Madīnah, Yathrib.

And I shook it another time and it returned to the best of what it was, and it was what Allah brought of conquest and the gathering of the believers.

✧ I never knew my parents except that they followed the religion. No day passed over us but that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us at the two ends of the day, morning and evening. When the Muslims were tested, Abū Bakr, ؓ, went out as an emigrant toward the land of Abyssinia, and Ibn al-Daghinnah, the chief of al-Qārah, met him and said: Where are you going, O Abū Bakr? He said: My people have expelled me, so I will roam in the land and worship my Lord. Ibn al-Daghinnah said to him: A man like you, O Abū Bakr, should not go out nor be expelled. You earn for the destitute, maintain ties of kinship, entertain the guest, bear the burden of others, and help in the calamities of truth. And I am your protector. So Ibn al-Daghinnah set out and Abū Bakr returned with him. He said to them and went about among the disbelievers of Quraysh: Abū Bakr should not go out nor be expelled. A man like him earns for the destitute, maintains ties of kinship, bears the burden of others, entertains the guest, and helps in the calamities of truth. So Quraysh honored the protection of Ibn al-Daghinnah and gave safety to Abū Bakr, and they said to Ibn al-Daghinnah: Tell Abū Bakr to worship his Lord in his house and pray as much as he wishes and recite as much as he wishes, and not to harm us nor to make public the prayer and recitation outside his house. So Abū Bakr ؓ did that. Then it occurred to Abū Bakr, and he built a mosque in the courtyard of his house, and he used to pray in it and recite the Qurʾān, and the women of the polytheists and their children would stand by him, wondering at him and looking at him. And Abū Bakr ؓ was a man who wept much and could not control his tears when he recited the Qurʾān. So they sent to Ibn al-Daghinnah, and he came to them. They said: We granted Abū Bakr safety only on condition that he worship his Lord in his house, but he has built a mosque and has made public the prayer and recitation, and we fear that he will tempt our women and children. So go to him and tell him to confine himself to worshiping his Lord in his house, and if he refuses except to make that public, then let him return to us your protection, for we dislike breaking your protection and we will not acknowledge for Abū Bakr making it public. So Ibn al-Daghinnah came to Abū Bakr and said: You know what I stipulated for you, so either confine yourself to that or return my protection to me, for I do not like the Arabs to hear that I was treacherous in the pact of a man for whom I made a pact.

He said: "O Messenger of Allah, do you hope that permission will be granted to you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I certainly hope so." Abu Bakr waited for him, and one day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to him at noon and called out to him, saying: "Send out whoever is with you." Abu Bakr said: "They are only my two daughters, O Messenger of Allah."

✧ Envoys of the disbelievers of Quraysh came to us, offering the blood money of each of the two—the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr—to anyone who killed or captured them. He said: While I was sitting in a gathering of my people, Banu Mudlij, a man from among them approached until he stood over us and said: "O Suraqah, I just saw some black shapes by the shore; I think they are none other than Muhammad and his companions." Suraqah said: I knew that it was they, so I said: "They are not they; rather, you saw so-and-so and so-and-so. Come with us." Then I remained in the gathering for a while, then I got up and entered my house and ordered my slave girl to bring out my mare, which was behind a hill, and hold her for me. I took my spear and went out with it from the back of the house, then I dragged its butt on the ground and lowered the spearhead until I reached my mare, mounted her, and urged her on, galloping with me until I saw their black shapes. When I drew near enough for them to hear the sound, my mare stumbled with me and I fell from her. I reached for my quiver and took out the divining arrows and cast them, and the one I disliked came out, but I disobeyed the arrows and mounted my mare and urged her on, galloping with me until I heard the recitation of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he did not turn around, and Abu Bakr turned around often. Then the forelegs of my mare sank into the ground up to the knees, and I fell from her. I spurred her and she rose, but she could hardly pull out her forelegs. When she stood upright, there was a rising dust cloud in the sky.

Abu Bakr bought a saddle from ‘Azib for thirteen dirhams, then Abu Bakr said to 'Azib. Tell al-Bara to carry it to my house. He said: No, not until you tell us what happened when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and you were with him. Abu Bakr said: We started our journey at the beginning of the night and we hastened for one day and one night, until it was midday. I looked into the distance to see whether there was anywhere to seek shade, and I saw a rock, so I went to it and it had a little shade. I smoothed the ground for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and spread a garment of camel hair for him, and said: Lie down and rest, O Messenger of Allah. So he lay down, and I went out to see if I could spot anyone looking for us. Then I saw a shepherd and I said: Who do you belong to, O boy? He said: To a man of Quraish. He mentioned his name and I recognised it. I said: Is there any milk in your sheep? He said: Yes | said: Will you milk some for me? He said: Yes. I told him to do that, so he caught a sheep, then I told him to brush the dust from its teat, then to brush the dust off his hands. I had a small vessel with me on the neck of which was a cloth. He milked a little bit of milk for me and I poured it into the vessel until it cooled down. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When I reached him, he had already woken up. I said: Drink, O Messenger of Allah. He drank until I was pleased, then I said: Is it time to move on? So we moved on and the people were coming after us but none of them caught up with us except Suraqah bin Malik bin Ju'shum, who was riding a horse of his, I said: O Messenger of Allah, someone has caught up with us. He said: ʿDo not be afraid, for Allah is with us.ʿ When he got close to us, and there was no more between us and him then the length of a spear or two or three spears, I said: O Messenger of Allah, this pursuer has caught up with us, and I wept. He said: ʿWhy are you weeping?ʿ I said: I am not weeping for myself; rather I am weeping for you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed against him [the pursuer] and said: “O Allah, protect us from him by whatever means You will.” Then his horse's legs sank into the solid ground up to its belly, and he fell off it. He said: O Muhammad, I know that this is because of you; pray to Allah to save me from my predicament, and by Allah I shall divert away from you any one who is behind me of those who are seeking you. Here is my quiver, take one arrow. You are going to pass by some camels and sheep of mine in such and such a place, take whatever you need from thern. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿI have no need of it.“ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for him and he was released, and he went back to his companions. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I continued on our way until we came to Madinah, where the people met him. They came out on the road and on the roofs, and a lot of servants and children crowded the road saying: Allahu Akbar, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has come, Muhammad has come. The people disputed as to who he would stay with. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿTonight I will stay with Banun-Najjar, the maternal uncles of 'Abdul-Muttalib, to honour them thereby.” The next morning, he went where he was instructed. Al-Bara' bin 'Azib said: The first of the Muhajireen to come to us was Mus'ab bin 'Umair, the brother of Banu 'Abdud-Dar. Then Ibn Umm Maktoom, the blind man and brother of Banu Fihr, came to us. Then 'Umar bin al-Khattab, came to us with twenty riders and we said: What happened to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: He is behind me. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and Abu Bakr was with him. Al-Bara said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not come until I had read some soorahs from al-Mufassal [Al-Mufassal is that portion of the Qur'an which goes from Qaf to an-Nas]. Isra'eel said: al-Bara' was one of the Ansar from Banu Harithah. (Using translation from Aḥmad 3)

✧ "When the emigrants arrived from Makkah to Madinah, they came with nothing in their hands, while the Ansar were the people of land and property. He said: The Ansar made an agreement with them to give them half the fruits of their properties every year, and the emigrants would suffice them the labor. He said: Anas b. Malik's mother gave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ some date palms of hers, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave them to Umm Ayman, his freedwoman, the mother of Usamah b. Zayd. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished with the people of Khaybar and returned to Madinah, the emigrants returned to the Ansar the gifts they had given them of their fruits. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned to my mother her date palms and gave Umm Ayman in their place some from his own orchard."

Then I shook another and it returned to the best of what it was, and it is what Allah brought anew of booty and the gathering of the believers.

✧ Jibril ﷺ came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was playing with the boys. He took him, threw him down, split open his chest, and extracted a clot of blood from it, saying: “This is Satan’s share of you.” Then he washed it in a golden basin with Zamzam water, and then returned it to its place. The boys came running to his mother—meaning his wet nurse—and said: “Muhammad has been killed.” They met him, and his color was pale.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «هَلْ تَرَوْنَ قِبْلَتِي هَا هُنَا؟ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا يَخْفَى عَلَيَّ خُشُوعُكُمْ وَلَا رُكُوعُكُمْ وَإِنِّي لَأَرَاكُمْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ظَهْرِي»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Do you see my qibla here? By Allah, your humility and your bowing are not hidden from me, and I see you from behind my back.”
«إِنِّي لَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَا وَرَائِي كَمَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ فَأَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ وَحَسِّنُوا رُكُوعَكُمْ وَسُجُودَكُمْ»
✧ I look at what is behind me just as I look at what is in front of me, so straighten your rows and perfect your bowing and prostration.
«رُصُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ وَقَارِبُوا بَيْنَهَا وَحَاذُوا بِالْأَعْنَاقِ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَى الشَّيْطَانَ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ خَلَلِ الصُّفُوفِ كَأَنَّهَا الْحَذْفُ»
✧ Make your rows compact, bring them close together, and align your necks, for by the One in whose hand is my soul, I see Satan entering through the gaps in the rows as if they were small sheep.
«أَلَسْتُمْ فِي طَعَامٍ وَشَرَابٍ مَا شِئْتُمْ؟
✧ Are you not in food and drink as you wish?
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا يَجِدُ مِنَ الدَّقَلِ مَا يَمْلَأُ بَطْنَهُ وَهُوَ جَائِعٌ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not find even low-quality dates to fill his stomach, and he was hungry.
قَالَ عُمَرُ وَذَكَرَ مَا أَصَابَ النَّاسَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا «لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَلْتَوِي وَمَا يَجِدُ مِنَ الدَّقَلِ مَا يَمْلَأُ بَطْنَهُ»
✧ ʿUmar said, mentioning what had befallen the people of worldly things: “I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ writhing, not finding even low-quality dates to fill his stomach.”
«اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ رِزْقَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَفَافًا»
✧ O Allah, make the provision of the family of Muhammad sufficient.
«اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ رِزْقَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ قُوتًا»
✧ O Allah, make the provision of the family of Muhammad sufficient.
«مَا شَبِعَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ مِنْ طَعَامٍ وَاحِدٍ ثَلَاثًا حَتَّى قُبِضَ ﷺ إِلَّا الْأَسْوَدَيْنِ التَّمْرَ وَالْمَاءَ»
✧ The family of Muhammad ﷺ never ate their fill of one food for three days until he ﷺ passed away, except the two black things: dates and water.
«مَا أَشْبَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَهْلَهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ تِبَاعًا مِنْ خُبْزِ الْبُرِّ حَتَّى فَارَقَ الدُّنْيَا»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never filled his family for three consecutive days with wheat bread until he departed this world.
سَأَلْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ فَقُلْتُ هَلْ أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّقِيَّ؟ فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ «مَا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّقِيَّ مِنْ حِينِ ابْتَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ» قَالَ فَقُلْتُ هَلْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنَاخِلُ؟ قَالَ «مَا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُنْخُلًا مِنْ حِينِ ابْتَعَثَهُ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ» قُلْتُ كَيْفَ كُنْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ الشَّعِيرَ غَيْرَ مَنْخُولٍ؟ قَالَ « كُنَّا نَطْحَنُهُ فَنَنْفُخُهُ فَيَطِيرُ مَا طَارَ وَمَا بَقِيَ ثَرَّيْنَاهُ فَأَكَلْنَاهُ»
✧ I asked Sahl b. Sa‘d al-Sā‘idī, “Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ eat refined flour?” Sahl said, “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never saw refined flour from the time Allah sent him until He took him.” He said, “Did you have sieves during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?” He said, “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never saw a sieve from the time He sent him until He took him.” I said, “How did you eat unsifted barley?” He said, “We would grind it, then blow on it, so whatever flew away flew away, and what remained we moistened and ate.”
«إِنْ كُنَّا لَنَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْهِلَالِ ثُمَّ الْهِلَالِ ثُمَّ الْهِلَالِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَهِلَّةٍ فِي شَهْرَيْنِ وَمَا أُوقِدَتْ فِي بُيُوتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَارٌ» قُلْتُ يَا خَالَةُ فِيمَا كَانَ يُعَيِّشُكُمْ؟ قَالَتْ «الْأَسْوَدَانِ التَّمْرُ وَالْمَاءُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ كَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ جِيرَانَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ نِعْمَ الْجِيرَانُ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ مَنَائِحُ فَكَانُوا يَمْنَحُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا فَكَانَ يَسْتَقِينَا مِنْهُ»
✧ We used to look at the new moon, then the new moon, then the new moon: three new moons in two months, and no fire was kindled in the houses of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said, “O maternal aunt, what did you live on?” She said, “The two black things: dates and water, except that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had neighbors among the Ansar—excellent neighbors—who had milch animals, and they would give the Messenger of Allah ﷺ some of their milk, and he would give us to drink of it.”
«مَا أَصْبَحَ فِي آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَاعُ بُرٍّ وَلَا صَاعُ تَمْرٍ»
✧ There was not in the family of Muhammad a sā‘ of wheat or a sā‘ of dates.
«وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْ كَانَ عِنْدِي أُحُدٌ ذَهَبًا لَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ لَا يَأْتِي عَلَيَّ ثَلَاثٌ وَعِنْدِي مِنْهُ دِينَارٌ لَا أَجِدُ مَنْ يَتَقَبَّلَهُ مِنِّي لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَرْصُدُهُ لِدَيْنٍ عَلَيَّ»
✧ By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, if I had Mount Uhud in gold, I would love that three nights would not pass over me while I had a dinar of it, unless I found someone to accept it from me, not anything I was keeping for a debt I owed.

✧ “If you wish, you may rely on that.” He said, “So I went out until I came to my home, and I placed my sword, my quiver, my shield, and my sandals at my head, and I faced the horizon. Whenever I slept for a while, I woke up; when I saw that night was upon me, I slept until the first light of dawn. I wanted to set out when suddenly a man came running, calling, ‘O Bilāl, answer the Messenger of Allah ﷺ!’ So I went until I came to him, and there were four riding camels, kneeling, with their loads on them. I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked permission. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, ‘Rejoice, for Allah has brought the means to pay your debt.’ I praised Allah. He said, ‘Did you not pass by the four kneeling camels?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘You have their necks and what is on them: clothing and food. The ruler of Fadak sent them as a gift to me. Take them and pay your debt.’” He said, “So I did. I unloaded their burdens, hobbled them, then went to give the call for the dawn prayer. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had prayed, I went out to al-Baqī‘, put my fingers in my ears, and called out: ‘Whoever is owed a debt by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, let him come.’ I kept selling and paying, and offering and paying, until there remained in my hand two ūqiyyahs or an ūqiyyah and a half. I went to the mosque, and most of the day had passed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting alone in the mosque. I greeted him, and he said, ‘What happened with what you had?’ I said, ‘Allah has paid everything that was owed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; nothing remains.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘Is there anything left over?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘See that you relieve me of it.’ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the night prayer, he called me and said, ‘What happened with what you had?’ I said, ‘It is with me; no one has come to me.’ He spent the night in the mosque until morning, and remained in the mosque the second day. At the end of the day, two riders came. I went with them, clothed them and fed them. When he prayed the night prayer, he called me and said ﷺ, ‘What happened with what you had?’ I said, ‘Allah has relieved you of it, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said takbīr and praised Allah, fearing that death would overtake him while he still had it. Then I followed him until he came to his wives, greeting each one, until he reached his sleeping place. This is what you asked me about.”

✧ ‘Umar b. al-Khaṭṭāb entered upon the Prophet ﷺ while he was on a mat that had left marks on his side. He said, “O Messenger of Allah, if only you would take a bed softer than this?” He said, “O ‘Umar, what have I to do with the world, and what has the world to do with me? By the One in whose hand is my soul, my likeness and the likeness of the world is only that of a rider who travels on a hot day and takes shade under a tree for an hour of the day, then moves on and leaves it.”

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Fāṭimah and saw a curtain on her door, so he did not enter upon her. He said, “It was rare for him to enter without beginning with her.” ‘Alī, ؓ, came and saw her distressed. He said, “What is with you?” She said, “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me and did not enter.” ‘Alī went to him and said, “O Messenger of Allah, Fāṭimah is troubled that you came to her and did not enter upon her.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “What am I to the world and what am I to embroidered cloth?” So ‘Alī went to Fāṭimah and told her the words of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said, “Tell the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: what do you command me?” He said, “Tell her to send it to Banū so-and-so.”

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُتَوَفَّى بِخَمْسِ لَيَالٍ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ فِيكُمْ إِخْوَةٌ وَأَصْدِقَاءُ وَإِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ مِنْكُمْ خَلِيلًا وَلَوْ أَنِّي اتَّخَذْتُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا إِنَّ اللَّهَ اتَّخَذَنِي خَلِيلًا كَمَا اتَّخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلًا وَإِنَّ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمُ اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ وَصَالِحِيهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ فَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا قُبُورَهُمْ مَسَاجِدَ فَإِنِّي أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ»
✧ I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ five nights before he passed away, addressing the people, saying: “O people, indeed there have been among you brothers and friends, and I declare my innocence before Allah from taking any of you as a close friend (khalīl). If I were to take from my community a close friend, I would have taken Abu Bakr as a close friend. Indeed Allah has taken me as a close friend, just as He took Ibrahim as a close friend. Indeed those before you took the graves of their prophets and righteous ones as places of worship, so do not take graves as places of worship, for I forbid you from that.”

سَأَلْتُ زِرَّ بْنَ حُبَيْشٍ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {لَقَدْ رَأَى مِنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرَى} قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ «رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ فِي صُورَتِهِ لَهُ سِتُّ مِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ»
✧ I asked Zirr b. Ḥubaysh about this verse: {Indeed he saw of the greatest signs of his Lord}. He said: Abdullah said: “He saw Gabriel in his true form, having six hundred wings.”
«رَأَيْتُ جِبْرِيلَ عِنْدَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى وَعَلَيْهِ سِتُّ مِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ يُنْثَرُ مِنْ رِيشِهِ تَهَاوِيلَ الدُّرِّ وَالْيَاقُوتِ»
✧ “I saw Gabriel at the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary, and upon him were six hundred wings, from whose feathers were scattered wonders of pearls and rubies.”
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سُئِلَ حَتَّى أَحْفَوْهُ بِالْمَسْأَلَةِ فَقَالَ «سَلُونِي فَوَاللَّهِ لَا تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا بَيَّنْتُهُ لَكُمْ» قَالَ فَأَرَمَّ الْقَوْمُ وَخَشُوا أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَجَعَلْنَا نَلْتَفِتُ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا فَلَا أَرَى كُلَّ رَجُلٍ إِلَّا قَدْ دَسَّ رَأْسَهُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ يَبْكِي وَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «سَلُونِي فَوَاللَّهِ لَا تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا بَيَّنْتُهُ لَكُمْ» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَبِي؟ قَالَ «أَبُوكَ حُذَافَةُ» فَقَامَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دَيْنًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ رَسُولًا نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ الْفِتَنِ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ كَالْيَوْمِ قَطُّ إِنَّهَا صُوِّرَتْ لِيَ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ فَأَبْصَرْتُهُمَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ الْحَائِطِ»
✧ The Prophet ﷺ was asked until they pressed him with questions, and he said: “Ask me, for by Allah, you will not ask me about anything except that I will make it clear to you.” Anas said: The people fell silent and feared that it might be before a great matter. We began to look right and left, and I saw every man burying his head in his garment, weeping, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept saying: “Ask me, for by Allah, you will not ask me about anything except that I will make it clear to you.” Then a man stood up from the side of the mosque and said: O Prophet of Allah, who is my father? He said: “Your father is Ḥudhāfah.” Then Umar b. al-Khaṭṭāb ؓ stood up and said: O Prophet of Allah, we are content with Allah as Lord, with Islam as religion, and with Muhammad ﷺ as Messenger. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of trials. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: “I have never seen good and evil like today; indeed Paradise and Hell were depicted for me, and I saw them beyond that wall.”
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ فَقَالَ لَنَا أَيُّكُمْ رَأَى الْكَوْكَبَ الَّذِي انْقَضَّ الْبَارِحَةَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَنَا أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَلَكِنِّي لُدِغْتُ قَالَ فَمَا فَعَلْتَ؟ قُلْتُ اسْتَرْقَيْتُ قَالَ وَمَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ حَدِيثٌ حَدَّثَنَاهُ الشَّعْبِيُّ قَالَ وَمَا يُحَدِّثُكُمْ الشَّعْبِيُّ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ حَدَّثَنَا عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ بْنِ حَصِيبٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «لَا رُقْيَةَ إِلَّا مِنْ عَيْنٍ أَوْ حُمَةٍ»
✧ I was with Saʿīd b. Jubayr, and he said to us: Which of you saw the shooting star that fell last night? I said: I did. But I was not in prayer; rather I had been stung. He said: What did you do? I said: I sought a ruqyah (incantation). He said: What led you to that? I said: A hadith that al-Shaʿbī narrated to us. He said: What does al-Shaʿbī narrate to you? I said: He narrated to us from Buraydah b. al-Ḥuṣayb al-Aslamī that he said: “There is no ruqyah except for the evil eye or a sting.”

✧ The Prophet ﷺ said, "The nations were presented to me, and I saw a Prophet accompanied by a group, a Prophet accompanied by one man, and a Prophet with no one accompanying him. Then a huge group was raised before me, so I asked if they were my nation. It was said, 'This is Musa (Moses) and his people, but look at the horizon.' So I looked and saw another huge group. Then it was said to me, 'Look at the other side.' And there was another huge group. It was said to me, 'Your nation, along with them are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without being held accountable or experiencing punishment.' Then the Prophet ﷺ got up and entered. The people began to discuss and ask, 'Who are those who will enter Paradise without being held accountable?' Some said, 'Perhaps they are those who accompanied the Prophet ﷺ.' Others said, 'Perhaps they are those who were born in Islam and never associated partners with Allah and mentioned certain virtues.' The Prophet ﷺ came out to them and asked, 'What are you discussing?' They informed him of what they were saying. He said, 'They are those who do not seek cauterization, do not ask for omens, and do not believe in evil omens. They rely solely on their Lord.' Then 'Ukkashah bin Mihsan Al-Asadi stood up and asked, 'Am I among them, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Yes, you are among them.' Then another man stood up and asked, 'Am I among them, O Messenger of Allah?' He replied, 'Ukkashah beat you to it.'"

✧ We were talking one night with the Prophet of Allah ﷺ until we talked long into the night, then we returned to our homes. When morning came, we went to the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and he said: “The prophets were presented to me last night with their followers from their communities. A prophet would come with three of his people, a prophet would come with a band of his people, a prophet would come with a small group of his people, and a prophet would come with no one from his people until Musa b. ʿImrān came to me in a large group of the Children of Israel. When I saw them, they impressed me, and I said: O Lord, who are these? He said: This is your brother Musa b. ʿImrān. And there were ridges of Makkah which blocked the faces of men. I said: Lord, who are these? He said: Your community. Then it was said to me: Are you satisfied? I said: My Lord, I am satisfied; my Lord, I am satisfied. Then it was said to me: Indeed with these are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning.” Then ʿUkkāshah b. Miḥṣan, the brother of Banū Asad b. Khuzaymah, stood up and said: O Prophet of Allah, pray to your Lord to make me one of them. He said: “O Allah, make him one of them.” Then another man stood up and said: O Prophet of Allah, pray to your Lord to make me one of them.
صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ وَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى لَنَا خَفَّفَ ثُمَّ لَا نَسْمَعُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ «رَبِّ وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ» ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُهُ أَهْوَى بِيَدِهِ لِيَتَنَاوَلَ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ثُمَّ أَسْرَعَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَلَسَ وَجَلَسْنَا حَوْلَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ رَاعَكُمْ طُولُ صَلَاتِي وَقِيَامِي» قُلْنَا أَجَلْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَمِعْنَاكَ تَقُولُ «رَبِّ وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ وُعِدْتُمُوهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَدْ عُرِضَ عَلَيَّ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا حَتَّى لَقَدْ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ النَّارُ فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيَّ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ حَتَّى دَنَا بِمَكَانِي هَذَا فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَغْشَاكُمْ فَقُلْتُ رَبِّ وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ فَصَرَفَهَا عَنْكُمْ فَأَدْبَرَتْ قِطَعًا كَأَنَّهَا الزَّرَابِيُّ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهَا نَظْرَةً فَرَأَيْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ حُرْثَانَ أَخَا بَنِي غِفَارٍ مُتَّكِئًا فِي جَهَنَّمَ عَلَى قَوْسِهِ وَإِذَا فِيهَا الْحِمْيَرِيَّةُ صَاحِبَةُ الْقِطَّةِ الَّتِي رَبَطَتْهَا فَلَا هِيَ أَطْعَمَتْهَا وَلَا هِيَ أَرْسَلْتَهَا»
✧ One day we prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he prolonged the standing. Normally when he prayed with us he would keep it light. We did not hear anything from him except that he kept saying: “My Lord, and I am among them.” Then I saw him reach out with his hand as if to take hold of something, then he bowed. After that he hastened. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished with the salutation, he sat down and we sat around him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “I knew that the length of my prayer and standing alarmed you.” We said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah, and we heard you saying: “My Lord, and I am among them.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “By the One in whose hand is my soul, there is nothing that you have been promised in the Hereafter except that it was presented to me in this place of mine, even Hell was presented to me. A part of it came towards me until it came close to this place of mine, and I feared that it would overwhelm you, so I said: My Lord, and I am among them; and He turned it away from you, and it retreated in pieces like carpets. I glanced at it and saw ʿAmr b. Ḥurthān, the brother of Banū Ghifār, leaning in Hell upon his bow, and in it was the Ḥimyarite woman, the owner of the cat that she had tied up: she neither fed it nor let it go.”

✧ While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was distributing something, a man approached and leaned over him, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ poked him with a palm stalk he had, and it wounded his face. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: “Come and obtain retribution.” The man said: I have forgiven you, O Messenger of Allah.

✧ A group of Jews entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, “Death be upon you.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “And upon you.” ʿAʾishah said: I understood it, so I said, “And upon you be death and the curse.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Take it easy, O ʿAʾishah. Indeed Allah loves gentleness in every matter.” I said, “O Messenger of Allah, did you not hear what they said?” He said, “I said, ‘And upon you.’”
«إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَاحِشًا وَلَا مُتَفَحِّشًا وَكَانَ يَقُولُ » خِيَارُكُمْ أَحَاسِنُكُمْ أَخْلَاقًا

✧ I said to ʿAʾishah: How was the character of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with his family? She said: “He was the best of people in character. He was not obscene, nor one who made others obscene, nor one who shouted in the markets. He did not repay evil with evil, but he pardoned and overlooked.”
«مَا ضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ شَيْئًا قَطُّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُجَاهِدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَمَا ضَرَبَ امْرَأَةً قَطُّ وَلَا خَادِمًا قَطُّ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never struck anything with his hand, except when fighting in the path of Allah, and he never struck a woman or a servant.
سَأَلَهَا رَجُلٌ هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَعْمَلُ فِي بَيْتِهِ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَخْصِفُ نَعْلَهُ وَيَخِيطُ ثَوْبَهُ وَيَعْمَلُ فِي بَيْتِهِ كَمَا يَعْمَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي بَيْتِهِ»
✧ A man asked her: Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ work in his house? She said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to mend his sandal, sew his garment, and work in his house just as one of you works in his house.
«أَلَا إِنِّي فَرَطُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ وَإِنِّي مُكَاثِرٌ بِكُمُ الْأُمَمَ فَلَا تَقْتَتِلُنَّ بَعْدِي»

«مَا بَيْنَ نَاحِيَتَيْ حَوْضِي كَمَا بَيْنَ صَنْعَاءَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ»
✧ “The distance between the two sides of my Pool is like the distance between Sana‘a and al-Madina.”
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «أَنَا فَرَطُكُمْ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُونِي فَأَنَا عَلَى الْحَوْضِ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْلَةَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ وَسَيَأْتِي رِجَالٌ وَنِسَاءٌ بِآنِيَةٍ وَقِرَبٍ ثُمَّ لَا يَذُوقُونَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا»
✧ I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “I am your forerunner before you. If you do not find me, then I will be at the Pool, [whose distance is] as between Ayla and Makkah. Men and women will come with vessels and water-skins, but they will not taste anything from it.”
Sahih Ibn Hibban 6450Hasan sahih
قَامَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا حَوْضُكَ الَّذِي تُحَدِّثُ عَنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ «هُوَ كَمَا بَيْنَ صَنْعَاءَ إِلَى بُصْرَى ثُمَّ يُمِدُّنِي اللَّهُ فِيهِ بِكُرَاعٍ لَا يَدْرِي بَشَرٌ مِمَّنْ خُلِقَ أَيُّ طَرَفَيْهِ» قَالَ فَكَبَّرَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ ﷺ «أَمَّا الْحَوْضُ فَيَزْدَحِمُ عَلَيْهِ فُقَرَاءُ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الَّذِينَ يُقْتُلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَيَمُوتُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَأَرْجُو أَنْ يُورِدَنِيَ اللَّهُ الْكُرَاعَ فَأَشْرَبَ مِنْهُ»
✧ A bedouin stood up to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: “What is your Pool that you speak about?” He replied: “It is like [the distance] between Sana‘a and Busra. Then Allah will increase me in it with a watering-trough that no human knows from which of its two ends it was created.” He said: Then ʿUmar said, “Allahu Akbar.” Then he ﷺ said: “As for the Pool, the poor among the Emigrants who are killed in the path of Allah and die in the path of Allah will crowd to it. And I hope that Allah will bring me to the watering-trough and I will drink from it.”
«مَا بَيْنَ نَاحِيَتَيْ حَوْضِي كَمَا بَيْنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَصَنْعَاءَ أَوْ كَمَا بَيْنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَعَمَّانَ»

«إِنَّ أَمَامَكُمْ حَوْضًا كَمَا بَيْنَ جَرْبَاءَ وَأَذْرُحَ»
✧ “Indeed, before you there is a Pool like [the distance] between Jarbaʾ and Adhruh.”

✧ The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: “I shall be at the cistern of my Pool, driving people away from it. I shall strike them with my staff until it splinters.” He said: The Prophet of Allah ﷺ was asked about the width of the Pool, and he said: “Like this station of mine to ʿAmman; between them is a month or about that.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about its drink, and he said: “More intensely white than milk and sweeter than honey. Two spouts will gush into it, their supply from Paradise: one of pearl and the other of gold.”
«إِنِّي لَبِعُقْرِ حَوْضِي أَذُودُ عَنْهُ لِأَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ أَضْرِبُ بِعَصَايَ حَتَّى يَرْفَضَّ» فَسُئِلَ عَنْ عَرَضِهِ فَقَالَ «مِنْ مَقَامِي هَذَا إِلَى عَمَّانَ» وَسُئِلَ عَنْ شَرَابِهِ فَقَالَ «أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ فِيهِ مِيزَابَانِ يُمَدَّانِ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ أَحَدُهُمَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَالْآخَرُ مِنْ وَرِقٍ»
✧ “I shall be at the cistern of my Pool, driving away from it for the people of Yemen, striking with my staff until it splinters.” He was asked about its width, and he said: “From this station of mine to ʿAmman.” He was asked about its drink, and he said: “More intensely white than milk and sweeter than honey. In it are two spouts extended from Paradise: one of gold and the other of silver.”
أَنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ الْأَخْنَسِ السُّلَمِيَّ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا سَعَةُ حَوْضِكَ؟ قَالَ «كَمَا بَيْنَ عَدْنٍ إِلَى عَمَّانَ وَأَنَّ فِيهِ مَثْعَبَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ» قَالَ فَمَا حَوْضُكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَأَحْلَى مَذَاقَةً مِنَ الْعَسَلِ وَأَطْيَبُ رَائِحَةً مِنَ الْمِسْكِ مَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ لَمْ يَظْمَأْ أَبَدًا وَلَمْ يَسْوَدْ وَجْهُهُ أَبَدًا»
✧ Yazid b. al-Akhnas al-Sulami said: “O Messenger of Allah, what is the width of your Pool?” He replied: “Like [the distance] between ʿAdan and ʿAmman.

In it are two spouts gushing from Paradise, of silver and gold. [Its water is] whiter than milk, sweeter than honey, and colder than snow. In it are pitchers [as numerous as] the number of the stars of the sky.”
«إِنَّ حَوْضِي كَمَا بَيْنَ أَيْلَةَ إِلَى صَنْعَاءَ وَإِنَّ فِيهِ مِنَ الْأَبَارِيقِ بِعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have been granted five things that no one before me was given: I was sent to both red and black people, the spoils of war were made lawful for me but not for anyone before me, I was given victory through fear, so that the enemy becomes terrified even from a month's distance, and the earth has been made a pure place of prayer and a means of purification for me. It was said to me, 'Ask and you shall be given.' And I have kept my intercession for my Ummah (nation) on the Day of Judgment, and it is a privilege that will be granted, Allah willing, to those who do not associate anything with Allah."

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ halted with us for a night's rest. Each man of us spread out the forearm of his riding camel [as a pillow]. He said: I woke up during part of the night, and behold, the she-camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had no one before it. So I set off seeking the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and behold, Mu'adh b. Jabal and 'Abd Allah b. Qays were standing. I said: Where is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? They said: We do not know, except that we heard a sound at the upper part of the valley, and it was like the rumbling of a mill. He said: We waited but a little, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and said: "A messenger from my Lord came to me and gave me the choice between half of my community entering Paradise and intercession, and I chose intercession." They said: O Messenger of Allah, we adjure you by Allah and by companionship to make us among the people of your intercession. He said: "You are among the people of my intercession." He said: When they mounted, he said: "I call to witness those present that my intercession is for whoever of my community dies not associating anything with Allah."

✧ "People will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection, and they will be inspired for that, and they will say: If only we could seek intercession with our Lord to relieve us from our place. He said: So they will come to Adam and say: You are Adam, whom Allah created with His own hand and breathed into you of His spirit, and He commanded the angels and they prostrated to you, so intercede for us with your Lord until He relieves us from this place of ours. He said: He will say: I am not the one for that. Then he will mention his sin that he committed and will feel shy before his Lord because of it. But go to Noah, the first messenger Allah sent. They will come to him, and he will say: I am not the one for that. He will mention his sin that he committed and will feel shy before his Lord because of it. But go to Abraham, whom Allah took as a close friend. He said: They will come to Abraham, and he will say: I am not the one for that. He will mention his sin that he committed and will feel shy before his Lord because of it. But go to Moses, whom Allah spoke to and gave the Torah. He said: They will come to Moses, and he will say: I am not the one for that. He will mention his sin and will feel shy before his Lord because of it. But go to Jesus. He will say: I am not the one for that. But go to Muhammad ﷺ, a servant whose past and future sins Allah has forgiven. He said: So they will come to me, and I will ask permission of my Lord, and He will give me permission. When I see Him, I will fall down prostrating, and He will leave me as long as Allah wills to leave me. Then it will be said: Raise your head, Muhammad, speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted. He said: So I will raise my head and praise my Lord with praises that He will teach me. Then I will intercede, and He will set a limit for me, and I will bring them out of the Fire and admit them into Paradise. Then I will return and prostrate, and He will leave me as long as Allah wills to leave me. Then it will be said: Raise your head, Muhammad, speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted. So I will raise my head and praise my Lord with praises that He will teach me. Then I will intercede, and He will set a limit for me, and I will bring them out of the Fire and admit them into Paradise.

When he saw that his companions were not asking him, he said: "Will you not say: How?" They said: How, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "People will stand before the Lord of the worlds, and the caller will make them hear, and sight will pierce them, and the sun will draw near to their heads, and its heat will intensify upon them, and its nearness to them will become hard for them. So they will set off from the distress and vexation of what they are in, and they will come to Adam and say: O Adam, you are the father of mankind. Allah created you with His own hand and commanded the angels and they prostrated to you, so intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see what we are in of evil? Adam will say: Indeed my Lord is angry today with an anger the like of which He has never been angry before and will never be angry after. He had commanded me with a command and I disobeyed Him, so I fear that He will cast me into the Fire. Go to someone other than me. Myself, myself."
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَاذَا رَدَّ إِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ فِي الشَّفَاعَةِ؟ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّكَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لِمَا رَأَيْتُ مِنَ حِرْصِكَ عَلَى الْعِلْمِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَمَا يُهِمُّنِي مِنَ انْقِصَافِهِمْ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ أَهَمُّ عِنْدِي مِنْ تَمَامِ شَفَاعَتِي لَهُمْ وَشَفَاعَتِي لِمَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُخْلِصًا وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُصَدِّقُ لِسَانُهُ قَلْبَهُ وَقَلْبُهُ لِسَانَهُ»
✧ I said: O Messenger of Allah, what has your Lord answered you regarding intercession? He said: "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, I thought that you would be the first of my community to ask me about that, because of what I saw of your keenness for knowledge. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, their crowding at the gates of Paradise does not concern me more than the completion of my intercession for them. My intercession is for whoever bears witness that there is no god but Allah, sincerely, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, his tongue confirming his heart and his heart confirming his tongue."

✧ "There was a man among the Children of Israel who used to lend money to people. A man came to him and said, 'O so-and-so, lend me six hundred dinars.' He said, 'Yes, if you bring me an agent.' He said, 'Allah is my agent.' He said, 'Glory be to Allah. Yes, I have accepted Allah as an agent.' So he gave him six hundred dinars and set a term for him.

The one he asked about him said, 'We left him at such-and-such a place.' The owner of the money said, 'O Allah, compensate me for so-and-so for what I gave him for Your sake.' He said, 'And the one who owed the money went and carved out a piece of wood and placed the money inside it. Then he wrote a note: "From so-and-so to so-and-so: I have delivered your money to my agent." Then he sealed the mouth of the wood and threw it into the sea. It kept carrying it until it cast it onto the shore. The owner of the money went to the shore and asked, and he found the wood. He carried it and took it to his family and said, 'Use this for fuel.' They broke it open, and the dinars and the note scattered out. He took the note and read it and recognized it. Then the other one came, and the owner of the money said to him, 'My money?' He said, 'I delivered my money to my agent, to the one entrusted with me.' He said to him, 'Your agent has paid me in full.'" Abu Hurayrah said, "Indeed we saw that our disputes and clamor increased in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, among us, as to which of them would be delivered."

✧ No one spoke in the cradle except three: Jesus son of Mary, and the companion of Jurayj. There was among the Children of Israel a man called Jurayj who built a hermitage and worshiped Allah in it. His mother came to him one day and called him, but he did not turn to her. Then she came to him a second day and called him, but he did not turn to her. Then she came to him a third day, and he said, 'My prayer or my mother?' She said, 'O Allah, do not let him die until he looks at the faces of prostitutes.' The Children of Israel one day mentioned Jurayj, and a prostitute of the prostitutes of the Children of Israel said, 'If you wish, I will tempt him.' They said, 'We wish it.' So she went and exposed herself to Jurayj, but he did not turn to her. She went to a shepherd who used to shelter his sheep in Jurayj's hermitage and offered herself to him, and he had intercourse with her. She became pregnant and gave birth to a boy. She said, 'He is from Jurayj.' Then a group of the Children of Israel attacked him, beat him, reviled him, and demolished his hermitage. He said to them, 'What is the matter with you?' They said, 'You committed adultery with this prostitute and she gave birth to a boy.' He said, 'Where is the boy?' They said, 'Here he is.'

✧ While a shepherd was tending his sheep in the harrah, a wolf attacked one of his sheep. The shepherd came running and snatched it from him. The wolf said to the shepherd, 'Do you not fear Allah? You come between me and a provision that Allah has sent to me.' The shepherd said, 'How amazing! A wolf, sitting on its tail, speaking to me in human speech!' The wolf said to the shepherd, 'Shall I tell you something even more amazing? This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ between the two harrahs, telling the people of the news of what has already happened.' The shepherd drove his sheep to Madinah, penned them in one of its corners, then entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him what the wolf had said. The Messenger of Allah came out and said to the shepherd, 'Stand and inform.' So he informed the people of what the wolf had said. And he ﷺ said, 'The shepherd has spoken the truth. Indeed, among the signs of the Hour is that wild animals will speak to humans.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me, al-Zubayr, Talhah, and al-Miqdad b. al-Aswad, saying, 'Go until you reach the garden of Khakh, for there is a woman with a letter. Take it from her.' We set off, our horses racing, until we reached the garden. There was the woman. We said to her, 'Bring out the letter.' She said, 'I have no letter.' We said, 'By Allah, you will bring out the letter or we will strip you of your clothes.' She took it out from her braids. We brought it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and in it was from Hatib b. Abi Balta'ah to some of the polytheists of Makkah, informing them of some of the affairs of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Hatib, what is this?' He said, 'O Messenger of Allah, do not be hasty with me. I was a man allied to Quraysh, not one of them. The emigrants with you have relatives in Makkah who protect their relatives and families. I had no relative to protect my family, so I wanted, if I missed out on that kinship, to make a favor with them so they would protect my relatives and family. By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I did not do this as apostasy from my religion or out of satisfaction with disbelief after Islam.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'This man has told you the truth.' Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, let me strike the neck of this hypocrite.' He ﷺ said, 'He witnessed Badr. What do you know? Perhaps Allah looked upon the people of Badr and said, "Do what you wish, for I have forgiven you."' And He revealed concerning him: {O you who believe, do not take My enemy and your enemy as allies} the verse.

أَنَّهُمْ غَزَوْا غَزْوَةً بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ فَهَاجَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحٌ شَدِيدَةٌ حَتَّى وَقَعَتِ الرِّحَالُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هَذَا لِمَوْتِ مُنَافِقٍ» قَالَ فَرَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَوَجَدْنَا مُنَافِقًا عَظِيمَ النِّفَاقِ مَاتَ يَوْمَئِذٍ

✧ We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Tabuk until he came to Wadi al-Qura. There was a woman in her garden. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Estimate the crop.' The people estimated ten wasqs. He said to the woman, 'Count what comes out of it until I return to you.' Then he traveled until he reached Tabuk. He said, 'A strong wind will come to you tonight, so no one should stand in it, and whoever has a camel should tie its hobble.' A strong wind blew, and no one stood in it except one man, and it threw him into the mountain of Tayy. The king of Aylah came to him and gifted him a white mule, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ clothed him with his cloak. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned, he came to Wadi al-Qura and said to the woman, 'How much did your garden produce?' She said, 'Ten wasqs, the estimate of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I am in a hurry. Whoever among you wishes to hasten with me, let him do so.' He traveled until he overlooked Madinah and said, 'This is Taybah, or Tabah.' When he saw Uhud, he said, 'This is a mountain that loves us and we love it.' Then he said, 'Shall I tell you of the best houses of the Ansar?' They said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'The best houses of the Ansar are those of Banu al-Najjar. Shall I tell you of those who follow them?' They said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Banu Sa'idah and Banu al-Harith b. al-Khazraj.'

✧ The leaders of Quraysh gathered in al-Hijr and swore by al-Lat, al-'Uzza, and Manat, the third, the other, and by Na'ilah and Isaf: 'If we were to see Muhammad, we would rise against him as one man and not leave him until we kill him.' Then his daughter Fatimah came weeping until she entered upon the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'These leaders of your people have sworn against you that if they see you, they will rise against you and kill you; there is not a man among them but knows his share of your blood.' He said: 'O my little daughter, bring me water for ablution.' So he performed ablution, then entered the mosque. When they saw him, they said: 'Here he is! Here he is!' Then they lowered their eyes and their chins fell upon their chests; they did not raise their eyes to him, and no man among them rose against him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came forward until he stood over their heads, took a handful of dust, and said: 'May the faces be ugly!' Then he threw it at them. No man among them was struck by any of those pebbles except that he was killed on the Day of Badr.
«يَا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ انْظُرُوا كَيْفَ يَصْرِفُ اللَّهُ عَنِّي شَتْمَهُمْ وَلَعَنَهُمْ» يَعْنِي قُرَيْشًا قَالُوا كَيْفَ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «يَشْتِمُونَ مُذَمَّمًا وَيَلْعَنُونَ مُذَمَّمًا وَأَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ»
✧ “O servants of Allah, see how Allah turns away from me their insults and their curses,” meaning Quraysh. They said: “How is that, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “They insult Mudhammam and curse Mudhammam, but I am Muhammad ﷺ.”

كُنْتُ يَافِعًا فِي غَنَمٍ لِعُقْبَةَ بْنَ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ أَرْعَاهَا فَأَتَى عَلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ «يَا غُلَامُ هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنْ لَبَنٍ؟ » فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ وَلَكِنِّي مُؤْتَمَنٌ قَالَ «ائْتِنِي بِشَاةٍ لَمْ يَنْزُ عَلَيْهَا الْفَحْلُ» فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِعَنَاقٍ فَاعْتَقَلَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ الضَّرْعَ وَيَدْعُو حَتَّى أَنْزَلَتْ فَأَتَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ فَاحْتَلَبَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ «اشْرَبْ» فَشَرِبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ ثُمَّ شَرِبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَعْدَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلضَّرْعِ «اقْلِصْ» فَقَلَصَ فَعَادَ كَمَا كَانَ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنِي مِنْ هَذَا الْكَلَامِ أَوْ مِنْ هَذَا الْقُرْآنِ فَمَسَحَ رَأْسِي وَقَالَ ﷺ «إِنَّكَ غُلَامٌ مُعَلَّمٌ» قَالَ فَلَقَدْ أَخَذْتُ مِنْ فِيهِ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً مَا نَازَعَنِي فِيهَا بَشَرٌ
✧ I was a youth tending sheep belonging to 'Uqbah b. Abi Mu'ayt. The Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr came to me and he said: “O boy, do you have any milk with you?” I said: “Yes, but I am entrusted.” He said: “Bring me a ewe that no male has mounted.” So I brought him a young she-goat. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ grasped it, then began to wipe its udder and supplicate until it let down milk. Abu Bakr, ؓ, came to him with something, and he milked into it, then said to Abu Bakr: “Drink.” Abu Bakr ؓ drank, then the Prophet ﷺ drank after him. Then he said to the udder: “Draw up,” and it drew up and returned as it was. He said: Then I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: “O Messenger of Allah, teach me some of this speech, or some of this Qur'an.” He wiped my head and said ﷺ: “You are a taught boy.” He said: I took from his mouth seventy surahs, which no human ever disputed with me.
كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَأَقْبَلَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنْهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ؟ » قَالَ إِلَى أَهْلِي قَالَ «هَلْ لَكَ إِلَى خَيْرٍ؟ » قَالَ مَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ «تَشَهَّدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» قَالَ هَلْ مِنْ شَاهِدٍ عَلَى مَا تَقُولُ؟ قَالَ ﷺ «هَذِهِ السَّمُرَةُ» فَدَعَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهِيَ بِشَاطِئِ الْوَادِي فَأَقْبَلَتْ تَخُدُّ الْأَرْضَ خَدًّا حَتَّى كَانَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَاسْتَشْهَدَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَشَهِدَتْ أَنَّهُ كَمَا قَالَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ إِلَى مَنْبَتِهَا وَرَجَعَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ وَقَالَ إِنْ يَتَّبِعُونِي أَتَيْتُكَ بِهِمْ وَإِلَّا رَجَعْتُ إِلَيْكَ فَكُنْتُ مَعَكَ
✧ We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey when a Bedouin came forward. When he drew near, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Where do you intend to go?” He said: “To my family.” He said: “Would you like something good?” He said: “What is it?” He said: “That you bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.” He said: “Is there any witness to what you say?” He ﷺ said: “This samurah tree.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called it while it was on the edge of the valley, and it came plowing through the ground until it stood before him. He asked it to testify three times, and it testified that he was as he said; then it returned to its place, and the Bedouin returned to his people, saying: “If they follow me, I will bring them to you; otherwise I will come back to you and be with you.”
كَانَ يَقُومُ إِلَى جِذْعٍ فَيَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَأَنَّهُ لَمَّا صَنَعَ الْمِنْبَرَ تَحَوَّلَ إِلَيْهِ فَحَنَّ الْجِذْعُ فَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَمَسَحَهُ»
✧ He used to stand at a trunk and deliver the Friday sermon from it, and when the pulpit was made, he moved to it, and the trunk yearned. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to it and stroked it.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى جَنْبِ خَشَبَةٍ يُسْنِدُ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا كَثُرَ النَّاسُ قَالَ «ابْنُوا لِي مِنْبَرًا» فَبَنَوْا لَهُ مِنْبَرًا عَتَبَتَانِ فَلَمَّا قَامَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ لِيَخْطُبَ حَنَّتِ الْخَشَبَةُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ «وَأَنَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَسَمِعْتُ الْخَشَبَةَ حَنَّتْ حَنِينَ الْوَلَدِ فَمَا زَالَتْ تَحِنُّ حَتَّى نَزَلَ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاحْتَضَنَهَا فَسَكَنَتْ» قَالَ وَكَانَ الْحَسَنُ إِذَا حَدَّثَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ بَكَى ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْخَشَبَةُ تَحِنُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَوْقًا إِلَيْهِ لِمَكَانِهِ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَأَنْتُمْ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَشْتَاقُوا إِلَى لِقَائِهِ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to deliver his sermon on Fridays leaning against a wooden pillar. When the number of people increased, he said, "Build a pulpit for me." So they built him a pulpit with two steps. When he stood on the pulpit to deliver the sermon, the wooden pillar longed for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Anas said, "I was in the mosque and I heard the wooden pillar longing like a young child until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came down to it and embraced it, and it became calm." Hasan used to cry when he narrated this Hadith and then say, "O servants of Allah! The wooden pillar longs eagerly for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ out of its desire for his place near Allah. And you are the ones who are most deserving to long for meeting him."
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُومُ إِلَى جَنْبِ شَجَرَةٍ أَوْ جِذْعٍ أَوْ خَشَبَةٍ أَوْ شَيْءٍ يَسْتَنِدُ إِلَيْهِ يَخْطُبُ ثُمَّ اتَّخَذَ مِنْبَرًا فَكَانَ يَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ فَحَنَّتْ تِلْكَ الَّتِي كَانَ يَقُومُ عِنْدَهَا حَنِينًا سَمِعَهُ أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَتَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِمَّا قَالَ مَسَحَهَا وَإِمَّا قَالَ فَأَمْسَكْهَا فَسَكَنَتْ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to stand beside a tree, or a trunk, or a piece of wood, or something he leaned against while delivering the sermon. Then he had a pulpit made and would stand on it, and that thing alongside which he used to stand yearned with a yearning heard by the people of the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to it—either he said he stroked it, or he said he held it—and it became still.
«إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَفَلَ فِي رِجْلِ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُعَاذٍ حِينَ قُطِعَتْ رِجْلُهُ فَبَرَأَ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spat on the leg of 'Amr b. Mu'adh when his leg was severed, and it healed.

رَأَيْتُ أَثَرَ ضَرْبَةٍ فِي سَاقِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا مُسْلِمٍ مَا هَذِهِ الضَّرْبَةُ؟ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ ضَرْبَةٌ أَصَابَتْنِي يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ قَالَ النَّاسُ أُصِيبَ سَلَمَةُ أُصِيبَ سَلَمَةُ قَالَ «فَأُتِيَ بِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَنَفَثَ فِيهَا ثَلَاثَ نَفَثَاتٍ فَمَا اشْتَكَيْتُهَا حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ»
✧ I saw the mark of a wound on the shin of Salamah b. al-Akwa' and said: “O Abu Muslim, what is this wound?” He said: “This is a wound that struck me on the day of Hunayn. The people said: ‘Salamah is wounded! Salamah is wounded!’ He said: ‘I was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he blew on it three times. I have not complained of it until this very hour.’”
لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {تَبَّتْ يَدَا أَبِي لَهَبٍ} جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةُ أَبِي لَهَبٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَلَمَّا رَآهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا امْرَأَةٌ بَذِيئَةٌ وَأَخَافُ أَنْ تُؤْذِيَكَ فَلَوْ قُمْتَ قَالَ «إِنَّهَا لَنْ تَرَانِي» فَجَاءَتْ فَقَالَتْ يَا أَبَا بَكْرِ إِنَّ صَاحِبَكَ هَجَانِي قَالَ لَا وَمَا يَقُولُ الشِّعْرَ قَالَتْ أَنْتَ عِنْدِي مُصَدَّقٌ وَانْصَرَفَتْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ تَرَكَ قَالَ «لَا لَمْ يَزَلْ مَلَكٌ يَسْتُرُنِي عَنْهَا بِجَنَاحِهِ»
✧ "When the chapter {Perished be the hands of Abu Lahab} was revealed, the wife of Abu Lahab came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ with Abu Bakr. When Abu Bakr saw her, he said, "O Messenger of Allah, she is a reprehensible woman, and I fear that she may harm you. If you allow me, I will leave." The Prophet replied, "She will not see me." So she came and said to Abu Bakr, "Your companion insults me." Abu Bakr said, "No, he does not speak poetry." She said, "You are known to be his supporter." Then she left. So I said, "O Messenger of Allah, why did you not move away?" He replied, "No, for an angel has been shielding me from her with his wings."

كَانَتْ عِنْدَ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ يَتِيمَةٌ فَرَآهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَنْتِ هِيَ؟ لَقَدْ كَبِرْتِ لَا كَبِرَ سِنُّكِ» فَرَجَعَتِ الْيَتِيمَةُ إِلَى أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ تَبْكِي فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ مَا لَكِ يَا بُنَيَّةُ؟ قَالَتِ الْجَارِيَةُ دَعَا عَلَيَّ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ لَا يَكْبَرَ سِنِّي فَالْآنَ لَا يَكْبَرُ سِنِّي أَبَدًا أَوْ قَالَتْ قَرْنَيْ فَخَرَجَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ مُسْتَعْجِلَةً تَلُوثُ خِمَارَهَا حَتَّى لَقِيَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهَا «يَا أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ مَالَكِ؟ » قَالَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَدَعَوْتَ عَلَى يَتِيمَتِي؟ قَالَ «وَمَا ذَاكَ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ؟ » قَالَتْ زَعَمَتْ أَنَّكَ دَعَوْتَ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ لَا يَكْبَرَ سِنُّهَا قَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ «يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ أَمَا تَعْلَمِينَ شَرْطِي عَلَى رَبِّي؟ إِنِّي اشْتَرَطْتُ عَلَى رَبِّي فَقُلْتُ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ أَرْضَى كَمَا يَرْضَى الْبَشَرُ وَأَغْضَبُ كَمَا يَغْضَبُ الْبَشَرُ فَأَيُّمَا أَحَدٍ دَعَوْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي بِدَعْوَةٍ لَيْسَ لَهَا أَهْلٌ أَنْ يَجْعَلَهَا لَهُ طَهُورًا وَزَكَاةً وَقُرْبَةً يُقَرِّبُهُ بِهَا مِنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» وَكَانَ ﷺ رَحِيمًا
✧ Umm Sulaym had an orphan girl. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw her and said: “Is it you? You have grown up; may your age not grow.” The orphan girl went back to Umm Sulaym weeping. Umm Sulaym said: “What is the matter with you, my little girl?” The girl said: “The Prophet of Allah ﷺ supplicated against me that my age should not grow. Now my age will never grow” or she said “my generation.” Umm Sulaym went out hastily, wrapping her headcover, until she met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who said to her: “O Umm Sulaym, what is the matter with you?” She said: “O Prophet of Allah, did you supplicate against my orphan girl?” He said: “And what is that, O Umm Sulaym?” She said: “She claims that you supplicated against her that her age should not grow.” He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed and said: “O Umm Sulaym, do you not know my condition with my Lord? I made a condition with my Lord and said: I am only a human; I am pleased as humans are pleased, and I become angry as humans become angry. For any one of my ummah against whom I supplicate with a supplication that he does not deserve, make it for him a purification, an increase, and a means of nearness by which You bring him near to You on the Day of Resurrection.” And he ﷺ was merciful.
«اللَّهُمَّ أَيُّمَا عَبْدٍ مُؤْمِنٍ سَبَبْتُهُ فَاجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ قُرْبَةً إِلَيْكَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»
✧ “O Allah, any believing servant whom I have cursed, make that a means of nearness to You on the Day of Resurrection.”
«اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَّخِذُ عِنْدَكَ عَهْدًا لَنْ تُخْلِفَهُ وَإِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ فَأَيُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ آذَيْتُهُ أَوْ شَتَمْتُهُ أَوْ جَلَدْتُهُ أَوْ لَعَنْتُهُ فَاجْعَلْهَا لَهُ صَلَاةً وَزَكَاةً وَقُرْبَةً تُقَرِّبُهُ بِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»
✧ O Allah, I make a covenant with You that You will never break. I am only human, so whichever believer I have harmed, reviled, flogged, or cursed, make that for him a prayer, a purification, and a nearness by which You bring him near on the Day of Resurrection.

✧ We returned from Makkah to Madinah with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. My camel became exhausted, so I lagged behind driving it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was behind attending to a need and caught up with me. He said to me, "Why are you lagging behind?" I said, "Nothing, O Messenger of Allah, except that my camel is lame, and I wanted to catch up with the group." He took hold of its tail, struck it, then urged it on and said, "Mount." I saw myself afterward holding it back from the group. We halted at a place short of Madinah, and I wanted to hurry to my family. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "Do not come to your family at night." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am newly married." He said, "To what did you marry?" I said, "A previously married woman." He said, "Why not a virgin whom you could play with and she could play with you?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abdullah died or was martyred and left young daughters, and I disliked marrying someone like them over them." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell silent and did not say whether I did well or badly. Then he said, "Sell me this camel of yours." I said, "No, rather it is yours, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "No, sell it to me." I said, "It is yours, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "No, sell it to me." I said, "Yes, for an ounce of gold; it is yours for that." He said, "I have taken it, so ride it to Madinah." When I arrived in Madinah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Bilal, "Give him an ounce of gold and give him more." He gave me an ounce of gold and added a carat. I said, "The increase of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ will never leave me." It was in a pouch of mine, and the people of Syria took it on the day of al-Harra.
خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزَاةٍ فَأَبْطَأَ بِي جَمَلِي فَتَخَلَّفْتُ فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَحَجَنَهُ بِمِحْجَنِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي «ارْكَبْ» فَرَكِبْتُهُ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَكُفُّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَتَزَوَّجْتَ؟ » فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ «بِكْرًا أَمْ ثَيِّبًا؟ » فَقُلْتُ بَلْ ثَيِّبًا قَالَ «فَهَلَّا جَارِيَةً تُلَاعِبُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُكَ» فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ لِي أَخَوَاتٍ فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً تَجْمَعُهُنَّ وَتَمْشُطُهُنَّ وَتَقُومُ عَلَيْهِنَّ قَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّكَ قَادِمٌ فَإِذَا قَدِمْتَ فَالْكَيْسَ الْكَيْسَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَتَبِيعُ جَمَلَكَ؟ » قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَاشْتَرَاهُ مِنِّي بِأُوقِيَّةٍ ثُمَّ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَبْلِي وَقَدِمْتُ بِالْغَدَاةِ فَجِئْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَوَجَدْتُهُ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ «الْآنَ حِينَ قَدِمْتَ؟ » قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَدَعْ جَمَلَكَ وَادْخُلْ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ» قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ فَصَلَّيْتُ ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ وَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا أَنْ يَزِنَ لِي أُوقِيَّةً قَالَ فَوَزَنَ لِي بِلَالٌ فَأَرْجَحَ فِي الْمِيزَانِ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَلَمَّا وَلَّيْتُ قَالَ «ادْعُ لِي جَابِرًا» فَدُعِيتُ فَقُلْتُ الْآنَ يَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ الْجَمَلَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ أَبْغَضَ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ قَالَ «جَمَلُكَ وَثَمَنُهُ لَكَ»
✧ I went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a military expedition, and my camel held me back, so I fell behind. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ dismounted and prodded it with his staff, then said to me, "Mount." I mounted it, and I saw myself holding it back from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, "Did you marry?" I said, "Yes." He said, "A virgin or a previously married woman?" I said, "Rather a previously married woman." He said, "Why not a young girl whom you could play with and she could play with you?" I said, "I have sisters, so I wanted to marry a woman who could gather them together, comb their hair, and take care of them." He said, "You will arrive soon, and when you arrive, act wisely, act wisely." Then he said, "Will you sell your camel?" I said, "Yes." He bought it from me for an ounce. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived before me, and I arrived in the morning. I came to the mosque and found him at the door of the mosque. He said, "Now, when you arrived?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Leave your camel, enter, and pray two rak'ahs." I entered and prayed, then returned, and he ordered Bilal to weigh for me an ounce. Bilal weighed for me and made the scale generous. I went away, and when I turned, he said, "Call Jabir for me." I was called, and I said, "Now he will return the camel to me, and nothing was more hateful to me than it." He said, "Your camel and its price are yours."
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَسِيرُ عَلَى جَمَلٍ لَهُ قَدْ أَعْيَى فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُسَيِّبَهُ قَالَ فَلَحِقَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَدَعَا لَهُ وَضَرَبَهُ فَسَارَ سَيْرًا لَمْ يَسِرْ مِثْلَهُ وَقَالَ «بِعْنِيهِ بِأُوقِيَّةٍ» فَقُلْتُ لَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «بِعْنِيهِ بِأُوقِيَّةٍ» فَقُلْتُ لَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «بِعْنِيهِ بِأُوقِيَّةٍ» فَبِعْتُهُ بِأُوقِيَّةٍ وَاسْتَثْنَيْتُ حُمْلَانَهُ إِلَى أَهْلِي فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُ أَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي ﷺ «أَتُرَانِي مَاكَسْتُكَ لِآخُذَ جَمَلَكَ وَدَرَاهِمَكَ؟ فَهُمَا لَكَ»
✧ He was riding on a camel of his that had become exhausted and wanted to let it go. The Prophet ﷺ caught up with me and prayed for it and struck it, and it traveled as it had never traveled before. He said, "Sell it to me for an ounce." I said, "No." Then he said, "Sell it to me for an ounce." I said, "No." Then he said, "Sell it to me for an ounce." So I sold it to him for an ounce and made an exception for its carrying me to my family. When I arrived, I went to him, and he said to me ﷺ, "Do you think I haggled with you to take your camel and your dirhams? They are both yours."

✧ We raided with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Hunayn. When we faced the enemy, I advanced and climbed a hill. A man from the enemy confronted me, and I shot an arrow at him, but he hid from me, and I did not know what to do. Then I looked at the people, and they had appeared from another hill and met the companions of the Prophet ﷺ. The companions of the Prophet ﷺ fled, and I returned defeated, wearing two cloaks, wrapped in one and draped with the other. My cloak slipped, so I gathered it and passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in flight while he was on his gray mule. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Ibn al-Akwa' saw fright." When they surrounded the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he dismounted from the mule, took a handful of dust from the ground, faced their faces with it, and said, "May the faces be disfigured." Allah did not create any human among them but He filled his eyes with dust from that handful, and they turned back in retreat, and Allah defeated them, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ divided their spoils among the Muslims.

✧ A man from Banu Amir came to the Prophet ﷺ as if he were a healer and a doctor. He said, "O Muhammad, you say things; will you let me treat you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him to Allah, then said, "Will you let me show you a sign?" Near him were palm trees and other trees. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called a cluster of dates from one of them, and it came to him, prostrating and raising its head, prostrating and raising its head, until it reached him ﷺ. It stood before him, then he ﷺ said to it, "Return to your place." The Amiri said, "By Allah, I will never disbelieve you in anything you say ever." Then he said, "O people of Amir b. Sa'sa'ah, by Allah, I will never disbelieve him in anything."
«انْقَادِي عَلَيَّ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ» فَانْقَادَتْ مَعَهُ كَالْبَعِيرِ الْمَخْشُوشِ الَّذِي يُصَانِعُ قَائِدَهُ حَتَّى أَتَى الشَّجَرَةَ الْأُخْرَى فَأَخَذَ بِغُصْنٍ مِنْ أَغْصَانِهَا فَقَالَ «انْقَادِي عَلَيَّ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ» فَانْقَادَتْ مَعَهُ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ النِّصْفُ جَمَعَهُمَا فَقَالَ «الْتَئِمَا عَلَيَّ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ» فَالْتَأَمَتَا قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَخَرَجْتُ أُحْضِرُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُحِسَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِقُرْبِي فَيَتَبَاعَدَ فَجَلَسْتُ فَحَانَتْ مِنِّي لَفْتَةٌ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُقْبِلٌ وَإِذَا الشَّجَرَتَانِ قَدِ افْتَرَقَتَا فَقَامَتْ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا عَلَى سَاقٍ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَفَ وَقْفَةً فَقَالَ بِرَأْسِهِ هَكَذَا يَمِينًا وَيَسَارًا ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَيَّ قَالَ «يَا جَابِرُ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ مَقَامِي؟ » قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَانْطَلِقْ إِلَى الشَّجَرَتَيْنِ فَاقْطَعْ مِنْ كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا غُصْنًا فَأَقْبِلْ بِهِمَا حَتَّى إِذَا قُمْتَ مَقَامِي أَرْسِلْ غُصْنًا عَنْ يَمِينِكِ وَغُصْنًا عَنْ يَسَارِكِ» قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَأَخَذْتُ حَجَرًا فَكَسَرْتُهُ فَأَتَيْتُ الشَّجَرَتَيْنِ فَقَطَعْتُ مِنْ كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا غُصْنًا ثُمَّ أَقْبَلْتُ أَجُرُّهُمَا حَتَّى إِذَا قُمْتُ مَقَامَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْسَلْتُ غُصْنًا عَنْ يَمِينِي وَغُصْنًا عَنْ يَسَارِي ثُمَّ لَحِقْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَعَمَّ ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ «إِنِّي مَرَرْتُ بِقَبْرَيْنِ يُعَذَّبَانِ فَأَحْبَبْتُ بِشَفَاعَتِي أَنْ يُرَفَّهَ عَنْهُمَا مَا دَامَ الْغُصْنَانِ رَطْبَيْنِ» فَأَتَيْنَا الْعَسْكَرَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا جَابِرُ نَادِ بِوَضُوءٍ» فَقُلْتُ أَلَا وَضُوءَ أَلَا وَضُوءَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا وَجَدْتُ فِي الرَّكْبِ مِنْ قَطْرَةٍ وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُبْرِدُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي أَشْجَابٍ لَهُ فَقَالَ «انْطَلِقْ إِلَى فُلَانٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ فَانْظُرْ هَلْ فِي أَشْجَابِهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ » قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَنَظَرْتُ فِيهَا فَلَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهَا إِلَّا قَطْرَةً فِي عَزْلَاءِ شَجْبٍ مِنْهَا لَوْ أَنِّي أُفْرِغُهُ مَا كَانَتْ شَرْبَةً فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهَا إِلَّا قَطْرَةً فِي عَزْلَاءِ شَجْبٍ مِنْهَا لَوْ أَنِّي أُفْرِغُهُ لَشَرِبَهُ يَابِسُهُ
✧ "Submit to me with the permission of Allah." It submitted with him like a camel with a nose ring that obeys its driver, until he came to the other tree. He took one of its branches and said, "Submit to me with the permission of Allah." It submitted with him likewise, until when he was in the middle he joined them together and said, "Join together over me with the permission of Allah." They joined together. Jabir said: I went out quickly for fear that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would sense my nearness and move away. I sat down, and I happened to glance, and there was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ approaching, and the two trees had separated, each standing on its own trunk. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stop briefly and move his head like this to the right and left, then he came forward. When he reached me, he said, "O Jabir, did you see my place?" I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Go to the two trees and cut a branch from each of them, and come with them, and when you stand in my place, cast a branch on your right and a branch on your left." Jabir said: I took a stone and broke it, came to the two trees, cut a branch from each one, then came dragging them, and when I stood in the place of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I cast a branch on my right and a branch on my left. Then I caught up with him and said, "I have done it, O Messenger of Allah; what was that about?" He said, "I passed by two graves whose occupants are being punished, and I wanted by my intercession that relief be granted to them as long as the two branches remain fresh." We came to the camp, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Jabir, call for water for ablution." I said, "Any water? Any water?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I did not find a drop among the riders." A man from the Ansar used to cool water for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in his leather buckets. He said, "Go to so-and-so the Ansari and see if there is anything in his buckets." I went to him and looked, and I found nothing but a drop in the spout of one of the buckets, which if I poured it out would not be a drink. I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I found nothing but a drop in the spout of one of them, which if I poured it out, its dryness would drink it."
سَمِعَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ نِدَاءَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ وَهُوَ عَلَى بِئْرِ بَدْرٍ يُنَادِي «يَا أَبَا جَهْلِ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَيَا عُتْبَةُ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ وَيَا شَيْبَةُ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ وَيَا أُمَيَّةُ بْنَ خَلَفٍ أَلَا هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا؟ » فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تُنَادِي قَوْمًا قَدْ جَيَّفُوا؟ فَقَالَ «مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَسْمَعَ لِمَا أَقُولُ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يُجِيبُونِي»
✧ The Muslims heard the call of the Prophet ﷺ in the depths of the night while he was at the well of Badr, calling out, "O Abu Jahl b. Hisham, O Utbah b. Rabi'ah, O Shaybah b. Rabi'ah, O Umayyah b. Khalaf, have you found what your Lord promised to be true?" The Muslims said, "O Messenger of Allah, do you call a people who have become corpses?" He said, "You are not more able to hear what I say than they are, except that they cannot respond to me."
«مَا قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْجِنِّ وَمَا رَآهُمْ انْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَطَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ عَامِدِينَ إِلَى سُوقِ عُكَاظٍ وَقَدْ حِيلَ بَيْنَ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَبَيْنَ خَبَرِ السَّمَاءِ وَأُرْسِلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الشُّهُبُ فَرَجَعَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِمْ فَقَالُوا مَا لَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا حِيلَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ خَبَرِ السَّمَاءِ وَأُرْسِلَتْ عَلَيْنَا الشُّهُبُ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ neither recited the Qur'an to the Jinn nor did he see them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out with some of his Companions with the intention of going to the bazaar of 'Ukaz And there had been (at that time) obstructions between satans and the news from the Heaven, and there were flung flames upon them. So satan went back to their people and they said: What has happened to you? They said: There have been created obstructions between us and the news from the Heaven. And there have been flung upon us flames. They said: It cannot happen but for some (important) event. So traverse the eastern parts of the earth and the western parts and find out why is it that there have been created obstructions between us and the news from the Heaven. So they went forth and traversed the easts of the earth and its wests. Some of them proceeded towards Tihama and that is a nakhl towards the bazaar of 'Ukaz and he (the Holy Prophet) was leading his Companions in the morning prayer. So when they heard the Qur'an. they listened to it attentively and said: It is this which has caused obstruction between us and news from the Heaven. They went back to their people and said: O our people, we have heard a strange Qur'an which directs us to the right path; so we affirm our faith in it and we would never associate anyone with our Lord. And Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed to His Apostle Muhammad ﷺ:" It has been revealed to me that a party of Jinn listened to it" (Qur'an, lxxii. 1). (Using translation from Muslim 449)
سَأَلْتُ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ هَلْ كَانَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ شَهِدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ هَلْ شَهِدَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ؟ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَهُ لَيْلَةً فَفَقَدْنَاهُ فَبِتْنَا بِشَرِّ لَيْلَةٍ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا إِذَا هُوَ جَاءَ مِنْ قِبَلِ حِرَاءٍ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ قَدْ أَتَانِي دَاعِي الْجِنِّ فَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنَ» فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى أَرَانَا نِيرَانَهُمْ وَآثَارَهُمْ فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنِ الزَّادِ فَقَالَ «لَكُمْ كُلُّ عَظْمِ طَعَامٍ يُذْكَرُ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ يَقَعُ فِي أَيْدِيكُمْ أَوْفَرَ مَا يَكُونُ لَحْمًا وَكُلُّ بَعْرٍ عَلَفٌ لِدَوَابِّكُمْ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَسْتَنْجُوا بِهِمَا فَإِنَّهُمَا طَعَامُ إِخْوَانِكُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ»
✧ I asked Alqamah b. Qays whether Ibn Mas'ud was present with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the night of the jinn. He said: I asked Abdullah b. Mas'ud whether any of you was present with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the night of the jinn. He said, "No, but we were with him one night, and we missed him. We spent the worst night ever. When morning came, he came from the direction of Hira'. He said, 'A caller from the jinn came to me, and I went with him and recited the Qur'an to them.' He went and showed us their fires and their traces. They asked him about provisions, and he said, 'Every bone of food over which the name of Allah is mentioned and that falls into your hands will be as full of meat as possible, and every piece of dung is fodder for your animals.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do not clean yourselves with them, for they are the food of your brothers from the jinn.'"

✧ I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a group of riders from Muzaynah. He said to Umar, "Go and equip them." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, it is only a few sa's of dates." He went and brought out a key from his belt and opened the door, and there was something like a crouching young camel of dates. We took from it what we needed. He said, "I looked back at it, and I was one of the last of my companions, and it was as if we had not taken a single date from it."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِقَصْعَةٍ مِنْ ثَرِيدٍ فَوُضِعَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْقَوْمِ فَتَعَاقَبُوهَا إِلَى الظُّهْرِ مِنْ غُدْوَةٍ يَقُومُ قَوْمٌ وَيَجْلِسُ آخَرُونَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لِسَمُرَةَ أَكَانَ يُمَدُّ؟ فَقَالَ سَمُرَةُ مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَتَعَجَّبَ؟ مَا كَانَ يُمَدُّ إِلَّا مِنْ هَا هُنَا وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ
✧ A large bowl of tharid was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and placed before the people. They passed it around from morning until noon; some people would get up and others would sit. A man said to Samurah, "Was it replenished?" Samurah said, "What are you surprised about? It was only replenished from here," and he pointed with his hand to the sky.
لَمَّا كَانَ غَزْوَةُ تَبُوكَ أَصَابَ النَّاسَ مَجَاعَةٌ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَوْ أَذِنْتَ لَنَا فَنَحَرْنَا نَوَاضِحَنَا فَأَكَلْنَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «افْعَلُوا» فَجَاءَ عُمَرُ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُمْ إِنْ فَعَلُوا قَلَّ الظُّهْرُ وَلَكِنِ ادْعُهُمْ بِفَضْلِ أَزْوِدَتِهِمْ ثُمَّ ادْعُ عَلَيْهَا بِالْبَرَكَةِ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ فِي ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِنَطْعٍ فَبَسَطْتُهُ ثُمَّ دَعَاهُمْ بِفَضْلِ أَزْوِدَتِهِمْ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَجِيءُ بِكَفِّ الذُّرَةِ وَالْآخَرُ بِكَفِّ التَّمْرِ وَالْآخَرُ بِكَسْرَةٍ حَتَّى اجْتَمَعَ عَلَى النَّطْعِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ يَسِيرٌ قَالَ فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِ ﷺ بِالْبَرَكَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «خُذُوا فِي أَوْعِيَتِكُمْ» فَأَخَذُوا فِي أَوْعِيَتِهِمْ حَتَّى مَا تَرَكُوا فِي الْعَسْكَرِ وِعَاءً إِلَّا مَلَئُوهُ وَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا وَفَضَلَ مِنْهُ فَضْلَةً قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَا يَلْقَى اللَّهَ بِهِمَا عَبْدٌ غَيْرَ شَاكٍ فَيُحْجَبَ عَنِ الْجَنَّةِ»
✧ During the campaign of Tabuk, the people were struck by hunger. They said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, if only you would permit us to slaughter our water-carrying camels and eat them." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them, "Do so." ʿUmar, ؓ, came and said, "O Messenger of Allah, if they do that, the riding camels will become few, but call them to bring the surplus of their provisions, then invoke blessing upon it; perhaps Allah will place (blessing) in that." He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for a leather mat, and I spread it out. Then he called them to bring the surplus of their provisions. He said: One man came with a handful of millet, another with a handful of dates, another with a piece of bread, until a little of that gathered on the mat. He said: He ﷺ invoked blessing upon it, then said, "Take into your vessels." So they took into their vessels until they left no vessel in the army but filled it. They ate until they were full, and some remained. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah. No servant meets Allah with these two, not doubting, but he will be veiled from Paradise."

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ alighted at Marr al-Zahran at the time he made peace with Quraysh, it reached the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that Quraysh were saying, "The companions of Muhammad ﷺ are only pledging allegiance out of weakness and exhaustion." The Companions of the Prophet ﷺ said, "O Prophet of Allah, if we slaughtered some of our riding camels and ate their meat and fat and sipped their broth, we would go to them tomorrow with strength." He said, "No, but bring me what is left over from your provisions." So they spread leather mats, then poured upon them what was left over from their provisions. The Prophet ﷺ invoked blessing for them, and they ate until they were completely full. Then they poured back what was left of their provisions into their bags. Then they went to the people, and the Prophet ﷺ said to them, "Let them not see any sign of weakness in you." So the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions uncovered their right arms and jogged in three circuits and walked in four, while the polytheists were in the Hijr and at Dar al-Nadwa. When the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ were hidden from them between the Yamani and Black corners, they walked. Then they appeared before them, and Quraysh said, "By Allah, they are like gazelles." Thus it became a practice.

✧ I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with some dates that I had arranged in my hand and said, "O Messenger of Allah, invoke blessing for me in them." He invoked blessing for me in them and said, "When you want to take some, insert your hand and do not scatter them." Abu Hurayrah said: "I carried from those dates such-and-such wasq in the way of Allah, and we used to eat from it and feed others. It was in my waist-wrapper until it was cut off from me during the nights of ʿUthman."

✧ Three days passed over me during which I did not eat any food. I came intending the Suffah and began to fall down. Children started shouting, "Abu Hurayrah has gone mad." I began calling to them, "Rather, you are the mad ones," until we reached the Suffah. I found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being brought a bowl of tharid, and he called the People of the Suffah to it, and they ate from it. I kept stretching out hoping he would call me, until the people stood up and there was nothing left in the bowl except a little in its sides. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gathered it and it became a single morsel. He placed it on his fingers, then said to me, "Eat in the name of Allah." By the One in whose hand is my soul, I did not stop eating from it until I was full.

قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ لِأُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ضَعِيفًا أَعْرِفُ مِنْهُ الْجُوعَ فَهَلْ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَأَخْرَجَتْ أَقْرَاصًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ ثُمَّ أَخَذَتْ خِمَارًا لَهَا فَلَفَّتِ الْخُبْزَ بِبَعْضِهِ ثُمَّ دَسَّتْهُ تَحْتَ يَدَيَّ وَرَدَّتْنِي بِبَعْضِهِ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَتْنِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ بِهِ فَوَجَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَالِسًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَمَعَهُ النَّاسُ فَقُمْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَرْسَلَكَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ؟ » قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «لِلطَّعَامِ؟ » فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِمَنْ مَعَهُ «قُومُوا» قَالَ فَانْطَلَقُوا وَانْطَلَقْتُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ حَتَّى جِئْتُ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ قَدْ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالنَّاسِ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا مَا نُطْعِمُهُمْ فَقَالَتِ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ حَتَّى لَقِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَلُمِّي مَا عِنْدَكِ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ» فَأَتَتْ بِذَلِكَ الْخُبْزِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَفُتَّ وَعَصَرَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ عُكَّةً فَآدَمَتْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ» فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ «ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ» فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ «ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ» فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ «ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ» حَتَّى أَكَلَ الْقَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ وَشَبِعُوا وَالْقَوْمُ سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا أَوْ ثَمَانُونَ
✧ Abu Talhah said to Umm Sulaym, "I have heard the voice of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ weak, and I recognize hunger in it. Do you have anything?" She said, "Yes," and brought out some barley cakes. Then she took a headscarf of hers and wrapped the bread in part of it, then tucked it under my arm, and covered me with the rest. She sent me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: I went with it and found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sitting in the mosque with the people around him. I stood over them, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Did Abu Talhah send you?" He said: I said, "Yes." He said, "For food?" I said, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to those with him, "Arise." They went, and I went ahead of them until I came to Abu Talhah and told him. Abu Talhah said, "O Umm Sulaym, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has come with the people, and we do not have enough food for them." She said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." Abu Talhah went until he met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came forward with him until they entered. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Bring what you have, O Umm Sulaym." She brought that bread, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded it to be crumbled. Umm Sulaym squeezed a skin of ghee over it, making it a relish. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said over it whatever Allah willed him to say. Then he said, "Give permission to ten." He gave them permission, and they ate until satisfied, then left. Then he said, "Give permission to ten." He gave them permission, and they ate until satisfied, then left. Then he said, "Give permission to ten." He gave them permission, and they ate until satisfied, then left. Then he said, "Give permission to ten," until all the people had eaten and were satisfied. The people were seventy or eighty men.

✧ By the One besides whom there is no god, I used to press my belly against the ground from hunger. One day I sat on their path where they would go out. Abu Bakr passed by me, and I asked him about a verse in the Book of Allah, only so that he might feed me; he passed by and did not do it. ʿUmar b. al-Khattab passed by me, and I asked him about a verse in the Book of Allah, only so that he might feed me; he passed by and did not do it. Then Abu al-Qasim ﷺ passed by me, and when he saw what was in my face and soul, he said, "Abu Hirr." I said, "At your service, O Messenger of Allah, and your pleasure." He said, "Follow." I followed him. He entered upon his family and gave permission, so I entered. There was milk in a bowl. He said to his family, "Where did you get this?" They said, "A gift from so-and-so," or he said, "So-and-so." He said, "Abu Hirr, go to the People of the Suffah and call them." The People of the Suffah were guests of the people of Islam; they did not have family or wealth. When charity came to him, he sent it to them and did not share with them in it; when a gift came to him, he sent it to them and shared with them in it, and he partook of it. By Allah, that saddened me. I said, "Where will this milk be among the People of the Suffah, while I and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ are here?" I went and called them. He gave them permission, and they entered and took their seats. He said, "Abu Hirr." I said, "At your service, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Take and pass it to them." I began passing it to one man, and he would drink. When he was satisfied, I took it and passed it to the next, until all the people were satisfied. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He raised his head and smiled, and said, "Abu Hirr, it is you and I." I said, "You have spoken the truth, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Take and drink." He kept saying, "Drink," until I said, "By the One who sent you with the truth, I find no passage for it." He said, "Show me the vessel." I gave him the vessel, and he drank the remainder and praised his Lord ﷺ.
تُوُفِّيَ أَبِي وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَعَرَضْتُ عَلَى غُرَمَائِهِ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا التَّمْرَ بِمَا عَلَيْهِ فَأَبَوْا وَلَمْ يَرَوْ أَنَّ فِيهِ وَفَاءً فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ «إِذَا جَدَدْتَهُ فَوَضَعْتُهُ فِي الْمِرْبَدِ فَآذِنِّي» فَلَمَّا جَدَدْتَهُ وَوَضَعْتُهُ فِي الْمِرْبَدِ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَ وَمَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ فَدَعَا بِالْبَرَكَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «ادْعُ غُرَمَاءَكَ فَأَوْفِهِمْ» قَالَ فَمَا تَرَكْتُ أَحَدًا لَهُ عَلَى أَبِي دَيْنٌ إِلَّا قَضَيْتُهُ وَفَضَلَ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ وَسْقًا سَبْعَةٌ عَجْوَةٌ وَسِتَّةٌ لَوْنٌ فَوَافَيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَغْرِبَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَضَحِكَ ﷺ وَقَالَ «ائْتِ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ فَأَخْبِرْهُمَا ذَلِكَ» فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمَا فَقَالَا إِذْ صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا صَنَعَ قَدْ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ
✧ My father died owing a debt. I offered his creditors to take the dates for what was owed, but they refused and did not think there was enough in it. I came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said, "When you have harvested it and placed it in the drying floor, inform me." When I harvested it and placed it in the drying floor, I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He came with Abu Bakr and ʿUmar, sat on it, and invoked blessing. Then he said, "Call your creditors and pay them." He said: I did not leave anyone who had a debt owed by my father but I paid him. There remained thirteen wasq: seven of ʿajwa and six of other dates. I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Maghrib and mentioned that to him. He ﷺ laughed and said, "Go to Abu Bakr and ʿUmar and inform them of that." I went to Abu Bakr and ʿUmar and informed them. They said, "Since the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did what he did, we knew that this would happen."

✧ They went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the year of the Tabuk campaign. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to combine Zuhr and ʿAsr, and Maghrib and ʿIsha. He said: He delayed the prayer one day, then came out and prayed Zuhr and ʿAsr together. Then he entered, then came out and prayed Maghrib and ʿIsha together. Then he said, "Tomorrow, if Allah wills, you will come to the spring of Tabuk. You will not reach it until the day is bright. Whoever comes to it, let him not touch any of its water until I come." He said: We came to it, and two men had preceded us to it. The spring was like a shoelace, oozing a little water. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked them, "Did you touch any of its water?" They said, "Yes." He rebuked them and said to them whatever Allah willed. Then they scooped from the spring with their hands a little until it gathered in something. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ washed his face and hands in it, then returned it to the spring. The spring flowed with abundant water, and the people drew water. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is near, O Muʿadh, if your life is prolonged, that you will see this place filled with gardens."

✧ I saw myself with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the afternoon prayer was due, and we had no water except a small leftover. It was put in a vessel and brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He inserted his hand and spread his fingers, and said, "Come to ablution and blessing from Allah." He said: I saw water bursting from between his fingers ﷺ. People performed ablution and drank. I did not fail to take as much as I could into my belly, knowing it was a blessing. He said: I said to Jabir, "How many were you that day?" He said, "One thousand four hundred."

Those who had families in Madinah stood up, performed ablution, and took care of their needs, while some men of the Muhajirun remained who had no families in Madinah. A cup containing water was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he placed his fingers in the cup, but it was not wide enough for all his fingers, so he placed these four and said, "Come and perform ablution, all of you."' I said to Anas, 'How many do you estimate they were?' He said, 'Between seventy and eighty.'
طَلَبَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَضُوءًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَلْ مَعَ أَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ مَاءٌ؟ » فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «تَوَضَّئُوا بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ» فَرَأَيْتُ الْمَاءَ يَجْرِي مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِهِ ﷺ فَتَوَضَّئُوا حَتَّى تَوَضَّئُوا مِنْ عِنْدِ آخِرِهِمْ
✧ Some of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ sought water for ablution. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Does any of you have water?' He placed his hand in the water and then said, 'Perform ablution in the name of Allah.' I saw water flowing from between his fingers ﷺ, and they performed ablution until the last of them had done so.
«حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَقَامَ مَنْ كَانَ قَرِيبَ الدَّارِ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَبَقِيَ قَوْمٌ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِمِخْضَبٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَصَغُرَ الْمِخْضَبُ عَنْ أَنْ يُمْلَأَ فِيهِ كَفَّهُ فَضَمَّ أَصَابِعَهُ فَوَضَعَهَا فِي الْمِخْضَبِ فَتَوَضَّأَ الْقَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ جَمِيعًا» فَقُلْنَا كَمْ كَانُوا؟ قَالَ ثَمَانِينَ رَجُلًا
✧ 'The prayer time arrived, and those whose houses were nearby went to their families and performed ablution, while a group remained. A stone basin containing water was brought to the Prophet ﷺ, but the basin was too small for him to put his whole palm in it, so he closed his fingers and placed them in the basin, and all the people performed ablution together.' We said, 'How many were they?' He said, 'Eighty men.'
«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَأُتِيَ بِقَدَحٍ رَحْرَاحٍ فَجَعَلَ الْقَوْمُ يَتَوَضَّئُونَ فَحَزَرْتُ مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّينَ إِلَى الثَّمَانِينَ»
✧ 'The Prophet ﷺ called for water, and a wide-topped, narrow-bottomed drinking vessel was brought. The people began to perform ablution, and I estimated them to be between sixty and eighty.'

✧ 'I witnessed the Prophet ﷺ with his companions in Madinah or at al-Zawra', and he wanted to perform ablution. A wooden bowl containing a little water was brought, and he placed his palm on the bowl. The water began to spring from between his fingers ﷺ until the people performed ablution.'

✧ When this verse was revealed: {And warn your nearest kindred} and your chosen clan among them—he said, and in the recitation of Abd Allah it is: "and your chosen clan among them"—the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out until he came to al-Safa and climbed it. Then he called out, 'O calamity of the morning!' The people gathered to him, some coming themselves and some sending a messenger. He ﷺ said, 'O Banu Abd al-Muttalib, O Banu Fihr, O Banu Abd Manaf, O Banu—tell me, if I informed you that cavalry were at the foot of this mountain wanting to raid you, would you believe me?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Then indeed I am a warner to you before a severe punishment.' Abu Lahab said, 'May you perish for the rest of the day! Did you call us only for this?' Then he stood up, and {May the hands of Abu Lahab perish} was revealed, and he has indeed perished. They said, 'We have never known you to lie.'

✧ "Blessed are these eyes that have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. By Allah, we wish we had seen what you saw and witnessed what you witnessed. May anger befall whosoever claims anything extraordinary other than good, then he approached the Messenger ﷺ and said, 'What motivates a person to resemble someone he has never seen, not knowing how he would have been in his presence? By Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appeared to people, but they turned away from him and disbelieved him. Should you not praise Allah when He brought you out, recognizing your Lord and confirming what your Prophet ﷺ brought? Indeed, you were spared from affliction through means other than yourselves. By Allah, the Prophet ﷺ was sent in the most difficult circumstances that no prophet before him had ever experienced during a period of ignorance. They did not perceive any religion better than idol worship until he brought a clear distinction between truth and falsehood, and between a parent and his child. To the extent that a person might see his child, parent, or brother as a disbeliever, while Allah has opened the lock of his heart to faith, knowing that if he perishes, he would enter Hell, yet his eyes do not shed a tear, and he is aware that his beloved is in Hell, and that is the one to whom Allah has said: "Those who say, 'Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes' –" (Quran 25:74).

The Angel of the Mountains called me, greeted me, then said, 'O Muhammad, Allah has heard what your people said to you. I am the Angel of the Mountains, and your Lord has sent me to you so that you may order me as you wish. If you wish, I will collapse the two rugged mountains upon them.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Rather, I hope that Allah will bring forth from their loins those who worship Allah alone, associating nothing with Him.'"
رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي سُوقِ ذِي الْمَجَازِ وَعَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ حَمْرَاءُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ تُفْلِحُوا» وَرَجُلٌ يَتْبَعُهُ يَرْمِيهِ بِالْحِجَارَةِ وَقَدْ أَدْمَى عُرْقُوبَيْهِ وَكَعْبَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَا تُطِيعُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ كَذَّابٌ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قِيلَ هَذَا غُلَامُ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قُلْتُ فَمَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي يَتْبَعُهُ يَرْمِيهِ بِالْحِجَارَةِ؟ قَالَ هَذَا عَبْدُ الْعُزَّى أَبُو لَهَبٍ قَالَ فَلَمَّا ظَهَرَ الْإِسْلَامُ خَرَجْنَا فِي ذَلِكَ حَتَّى نَزَلْنَا قَرِيبًا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَمَعَنَا ظَعِينَةٌ لَنَا فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ قُعُودٌ إِذْ أَتَانَا رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَبْيَضَانِ فَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلَ الْقَوْمُ؟ قُلْنَا مِنَ الرَّبَذَةِ قَالَ وَمَعَنَا جَمَلٌ قَالَ أَتَبِيعُونَ هَذَا الْجَمَلَ؟ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ بِكَمْ؟ قُلْنَا بِكَذَا وَكَذَا صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ قَالَ فَأَخَذَهُ وَلَمْ يَسْتَنْقِصْنَا قَالَ قَدْ أَخَذْتُهُ ثُمَّ تَوَارَى بِحِيطَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَتَلَاوَمْنَا فِيمَا بَيْنَنَا فَقُلْنَا أَعْطَيْتُمْ جَمَلَكُمْ رَجُلًا لَا تَعْرِفُونَهُ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَتِ الظَّعِينَةُ لَا تَلَاوَمُوا فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ وَجْهَ رَجُلٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيَحْقِرَكُمْ مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا أَشْبَهَ بِالْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ مِنْ وَجْهِهِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْعَشِيِّ أَتَانَا رَجُلٌ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا وَقَالَ أَنَا رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوا حَتَّى تَشْبَعُوا وَتَكْتَالُوا حَتَّى تَسْتَوْفُوا» قَالَ فَأَكَلْنَا حَتَّى شَبِعْنَا وَاكْتَلْنَا حَتَّى اسْتَوْفَيْنَا قَالَ ثُمَّ قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَائِمٌ يَخْطُبُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «يَدُ الْمُعْطِي يَدُ الْعُلْيَا وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ أُمَّكَ وَأَبَاكَ أُخْتَكَ وَأَخَاكَ ثُمَّ أَدْنَاكَ أَدْنَاكَ» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ يَرْبُوعٍ قَتَلُوا فُلَانًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَخُذْ لَنَا بِثَأْرِنَا مِنْهُ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ وَقَالَ «أَلَا لَا تَجْنِي أُمٌّ عَلَى وَلَدٍ أَلَا لَا تَجْنِي أُمٌّ عَلَى وَلَدٍ»
✧ I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the marketplace of Dhi Al-Majaz wearing a red robe, and he was saying, "O people, say there is no deity but Allah, and you will be successful." A man was following him, throwing stones at him, causing his back and heels to bleed, while saying, "O people, do not obey him, for he is a liar." I asked, "Who is this?" It was said, "He is the son of Abd Al-Muttalib." I then asked, "Who is the one who follows him and throws stones at him?" It was said, "He is Abd Al-Uzza, the father of Lahab." When Islam emerged, we left until we reached a place near Madinah, and we had with us a container of dates. While we were sitting, a man approached us wearing two white garments and greeted us, asking, "Where are the people coming from?" We said, "From Rabdah." He asked, "Do you sell this camel?" We said, "Yes." He asked, "For how much?" We replied, "For such and such amount of dates." He said, "I will take it." He took the camel and did not haggle with us. Then, he disappeared within the walls of Madinah, and we whispered to each other, wondering if he knew the value of our camel. The man with the container said, "Do not whisper among yourselves, for I saw the face of a man whom none of you could belittle. I have never seen anything resembling the moon on the night of a full moon as his face." Later that evening, a man approached us and greeted us, saying, "I am the Messenger of the Messenger of Allah, and he says, 'You may eat until you are satiated, and trade until you are content.'" We ate until we were full and traded until we were content. The next morning, we arrived at Madinah, and there stood the Messenger of Allah, delivering a sermon from the pulpit, saying, "The hand that gives is higher than the one that receives, and start with those you are responsible for, your mother and father, then your sister and brother, and then the closest ones." A man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, these are the sons of Tha'laba ibn Yarbua who killed so and so in the age of ignorance. Take our revenge from him." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands up, and I saw the whiteness of his armpits as he said, "No, a mother cannot seek revenge for her child, no, a mother cannot seek revenge for her child."
فِي قَوْلِهِ {وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا} قَالَ نَزَلَتْ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ مُتَوَارٍ فَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ رَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ وَإِذَا سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ سَبُّوا الْقُرْآنَ وَمَنْ أَنْزَلَهُ وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ لِنَبِيِّهِ ﷺ «{وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ} فَتُسْمِعَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ {وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا} عَنْ أَصْحَابِكَ أَسْمِعْهُمُ الْقُرْآنَ وَلَا تَجْهَرْ ذَلِكَ الْجَهْرَ {وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلًا} بَيْنَ الْجَهْرِ وَالْمُخَافَتَةِ»
The word of (Allah) Great and Glorious: 'And utter not thy prayer loudly, nor be low in it" (xvii. 110) was revealed as the Messenger of Allah (may peace beupon him) was hiding himself in Mecca. When he led his Companions in prayer he raised his voice (while reciting the) Qur'an. And when the polytheists heard that, they reviled the Qur'an and Him Who revealed it and him who brought it. Upon this Allah, the Exalted, said to His Apostle ﷺ: Utter not thy prayer so loudly that the polytheists may hear thy recitation and (recite it) not so low that it may be inaudible to your Companions. Make them hear the Qur'an, but do not recite it loudly and seek a (middle) way between these. Recite between loud and low tone. (Using translation from Muslim 446)

✧ An army of the Muslims went out with me as their commander until we camped at Alexandria. A great man among their great ones said, 'Bring out to me a man who will speak with me and I will speak with him.' I said, 'No one will go out to him except me.' So I went out with my interpreter and he had his interpreter until a pulpit was placed for us. He said, 'What are you?' I said, 'We are the Arabs, the people of thorns and qaraẓ. We are the people of the House of Allah. We were the people with the most constricted land and the harshest life. We used to eat carrion and blood, and some of us would raid others with the harshest life people lived. Until there emerged among us a man, not the greatest of us that day in nobility nor the most of us in wealth. He said, "I am the Messenger of Allah to you," commanding us what we did not know and forbidding us what we and our fathers were upon. We denied him and rejected his words until people from other than us went out to him and said, "We believe you and have faith in you and follow you and fight those who fight you." He went out to them, and we went out to him. We fought him, and he killed us and prevailed over us and defeated us. He went on to take the Arabs who followed him and fought them until he prevailed over them. If those behind me among the Arabs knew the life you are in, none would remain except that he would come to you and share with you in the life you are in.' He laughed then said, 'Your messenger has spoken truth. Our messengers came to us with the like of what your messenger brought. We remained upon it until kings appeared among us and acted upon their whims and abandoned the affair of the prophets. If you take the affair of your prophet, no one will fight you except that you overcome him, and no one will oppose you except that you prevail over him. But if you do like what we did and abandon the affair of your prophet and act according to their whims, then He will leave us and you. You are not more in number than us nor stronger in power than us.' ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ said, 'I have never spoken to a man more cunning than him.'"

✧ I said, "I have never seen anything that afflicted the Quraysh as much as the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ, in terms of the enmity they showed towards him." He replied, "I was there when their nobles gathered in the Hijr and they mentioned the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ. They said, 'We have never seen anyone like this man who has tested our patience. He has mocked our dreams, insulted our fathers, criticized our religion, divided our community, and cursed our idols. We have endured great hardships because of him, or so they claim.' As they were talking, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ, appeared and started walking until he reached the corner of the Kaaba. He passed by them and they made mocking gestures and whispered some remarks. I could see that on his face. Then he continued and when he passed by them for the second time, they made the same gestures and I noticed it on his face. Peace be upon him. Then he passed by them for the third time and they made the same gestures. Then he said, 'O people of Quraysh, do you hear me? By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, I have come to you for slaughtering.' His words silenced them, and every one of them looked as if a bird had struck their heads. Even the harshest of them trembled in his presence and answered him with the best of manners. Finally, he said, 'Go on, O Abu al-Qasim, go on with your business. By Allah, you are not ignorant.' So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ, continued until the next morning. When they gathered in the Hijr and I was with them, some of them said to others, 'Do you remember what he told us and what we told him about their criticism of their gods and their religion?' He replied, 'Yes, I am the one who said that.' Then I saw one of them grabbing his garment and saying, while Abu Bakr al-Siddiq was standing beside him, crying, 'Do you kill a man just because he says his Lord is Allah?' Then they turned away from him. That was the most severe thing I have ever seen the Quraysh do to him."

✧ Ḍimād came to Makkah from Azd Shanū’a, and he used to treat possession by wind. He heard the foolish ones of the people of Makkah saying that Muhammad was insane. He said, 'If I were to see this man, perhaps Allah would cure him at my hands.' He met him and said, 'O Muhammad, I treat possession by wind, and Allah cures at my hands whom He wills. Will you?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, praise belongs to Allah. We praise Him and seek His help. Whoever Allah guides, none can lead astray, and whoever He leads astray, none can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger. To proceed.' He said, 'Repeat to me these words of yours.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ repeated them to him three times. He said, 'I have heard the words of soothsayers, the words of sorcerers, and the words of poets, but I have never heard the like of these words of yours. Give me your hand that I may pledge allegiance to you upon Islam.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'And upon your people?' He said, 'And upon my people.' He pledged allegiance to him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a raiding party, and they passed by his people. The leader of the raiding party said to the army, 'Did you take anything from these people?' A man from the people said, 'I took from them a water container.' He said, 'Return it, for these are the people of Ḍimād.'"

✧ I never saw Quraysh wanting to kill the Messenger of Allah ﷺ except on a day I saw them while they were sitting in the shade of the Kaʿba and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was praying near the Maqām. ʿUqba b. Abī Muʿayṭ stood up to him and put his cloak around his neck and pulled it until he fell to his knees ﷺ. People shouted, thinking he was killed. Abū Bakr ؓ came hurrying until he grabbed the upper arms of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from behind, saying, 'Would you kill a man for saying my Lord is Allah?' Then they turned away from the Prophet ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up, and when he finished his prayer, he passed by them while they were sitting in the shade of the Kaʿba and said, 'O assembly of Quraysh, by the One in whose hand is my soul, I was not sent to you except with slaughter.' He gestured with his hand to his throat. Abū Jahl said to him, 'O Muhammad, you were not ignorant.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'You are one of them.'
بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَاجِدٌ وَحَوْلُهُ نَاسٌ إِذْ جَاءَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ بِسَلَى جَزُورٍ فَقَذَفَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهُ فَجَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ فَأَخَذَتْهُ مِنْ ظَهْرِهِ وَدَعَتْ عَلَى مَنْ صَنَعَ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ الْمَلَأَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَبَا جَهْلِ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعُتْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ وَشَيْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ وَعُقْبَةَ بْنَ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ وَأُمَيَّةَ بْنَ خَلَفٍ أَوْ أُبَيَّ بْنَ خَلَفٍ» شَكَّ شُعْبَةُ قَالَ «فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُمْ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَأُلْقُوا فِي بِئْرٍ غَيْرَ أَنَّ أُمَيَّةَ تَقَطَّعَتْ أَوْصَالُهُ فَلَمْ يُلْقَ فِي الْبِئْرِ»
✧ While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was prostrating, with people around him, 'Uqbah b. Abi Mu'ayt came with the afterbirth of a slaughtered camel and threw it onto the back of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He did not lift his head. Then Fatimah came, removed it from his back, and supplicated against the one who did that. He said, 'O Allah, take the chiefs of Quraysh: Abu Jahl b. Hisham, 'Utbah b. Rabi'ah, Shaybah b. Rabi'ah, 'Uqbah b. Abi Mu'ayt, and Umayyah b. Khalaf or Ubayy b. Khalaf'—Shu'bah was uncertain. He said, 'I saw them on the Day of Badr when they were thrown into a well, except that Umayyah's limbs were torn apart, so he was not thrown into the well.'

✧ Abu Jahl said, "Does Muhammad humble his face behind your backs? By the one he swears by, if I see him do that, I will step on his neck." So he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was praying, intending to step on his neck. But suddenly he was unable to move; it was as if his hands were being restrained and his heels were being pulled back. They came to him and said, "What's wrong with you, O Abu Al-Hakam?" He replied, "Between him and me is a trench of fire and terror with wings." Abu Al-Mu'tamir said, "So Allah revealed 'Have you seen the one who forbids a servant when he prays' until the end of the verse, 'So let him call his band of supporters.' His people said, 'We shall summon the executioners.' But the angels said, 'Do not obey him.' Then Allah commanded him to perform the prostration as He had commanded him in the end of the Surah." He also narrated to me in this Hadith that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If he came near me, the angels would seize him limb by limb."

✧ When Ka'b b. al-Ashraf came to Makkah, they came to him and said, 'We are the people of the watering and the custodianship of the Ka'bah, and you are the master of the people of Yathrib. Are we better or this little contemptible one, cut off from his people, who claims that he is better than us?' He said, 'You are better than him.' Then it was revealed regarding the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: 'Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off' (Qur'an 108:3), and it was revealed: 'Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture, believing in jibt and taghut and saying to those who disbelieve, "These are better guided than those who believe as to the way"?' (Qur'an 4:51).

✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and we were six people. The polytheists said, 'Drive these away from you, for they are...' and I, Ibn Mas'ud, a man from Hudhayl, Bilal, and two men—one of whom I have forgotten—were present. He said: Then something entered the heart of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as Allah willed, and he spoke to himself about it. Then Allah revealed: 'And do not send away those who call upon their Lord morning and evening, seeking His face' up to His saying: 'the wrongdoers' (Qur'an 6:52).
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كُسِرَتْ رَبَاعِيَتُهُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَشُجَّ وَجْهُهُ حَتَّى سَالَ الدَّمُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ «كَيْفَ يُفْلِحُ قَوْمٌ فَعَلُوا هَذَا بِنَبِيِّهِمْ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ» فَنَزَلَتْ {لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ}
✧ The Prophet ﷺ had his front tooth broken on the Day of Uhud, and his face was wounded until blood flowed on his face. He said, 'How can a people prosper who did this to their Prophet ﷺ while he is calling them to their Lord?' Then it was revealed: 'Not for you, [O Muhammad], is the decision whether He should [cut them down] or forgive them or punish them, for indeed, they are wrongdoers' (Qur'an 3:128).
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ يَسْلُتُ الدَّمُ عَنْ وَجْهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «كَيْفَ يُفْلِحُ قَوْمٌ شَجُّوا نَبِيَّهُمْ وَكَسَرُوا رَبَاعِيَتَهُ وَهُوَ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ}
✧ On the Day of Uhud, the Prophet ﷺ was wiping the blood from his face while saying, 'How can a people prosper who wounded their Prophet and broke his front tooth while he is calling them to Allah?' Then Allah revealed: 'Not for you, [O Muhammad], is the decision' (Qur'an 3:128).
كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَكَى نَبِيًّا مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ ضَرَبَهُ قَوْمُهُ حَتَّى أَدْمَوْا وَجْهَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ الدَّمَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَيَقُولُ «رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِقَوْمِي فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ»
✧ It is as if I am looking at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ relating about a prophet among the prophets whom his people struck until they made his face bleed. He began wiping the blood from his face and saying, 'O Lord, forgive my people, for they do not know.'
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَمِيَتْ أُصْبُعُهُ فِي بَعْضِ الْمَشَاهِدِ فَقَالَ ﷺ

✧ A man asked him about the wound of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, 'The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was wounded, his front tooth was broken, and the helmet was smashed on his head ﷺ. Fatimah bt. Muhammad ﷺ was washing the blood, and 'Ali ؓ was pouring water on it with a shield. When Fatimah ؓ saw that the water only increased the blood, she took a piece of mat, burned it until it became ash, and applied it to the wound, and the blood stopped.'
كُنَّا قُعُودًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَشَخَصَ بَصَرُهُ إِلَى رَجُلٍ يَمْشِي فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: «يَا فُلَانُ، أَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ؟» قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: «أَتَقْرَأُ التَّوْرَاةَ؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: «وَالْإِنْجِيلَ؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: «وَالْقُرْآنَ؟» قَالَ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ أَشَاءُ لَقَرَأْتُهُ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ أُنْشِدَهُ، فَقَالَ: «تَجِدُنِي فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ؟» قَالَ: نَجِدُ مِثْلَكَ، وَمَثَلَ أُمَّتِكَ، وَمَثَلَ مُخْرِجِكَ، وَكُنَّا نَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ فِينَا، فَلَمَّا خَرَجْتَ تَخَوَّفْنَا أَنْ تَكُونَ أَنْتَ، فَنَظَرْنَا فَإِذَا لَيْسَ أَنْتَ هُوَ. قَالَ: «وَلِمَ ذَاكَ؟» قَالَ: إِنَّ مَعَهُ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا، لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِسَابٌ وَلَا عِقَابٌ، وَإِنَّمَا مَعَكَ نَفَرٌ يَسِيرٌ. فَقَالَ: «فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَأَنَا هُوَ، وَإِنَّهَا لَأُمَّتِي، وَإِنَّهُمْ لَأَكْثَرُ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا، وَسَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا، وَسَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا».
We were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ in the mosque when his gaze fixed upon a man walking in the mosque. He said, “O so-and-so, do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?” He replied, “No.” He said, “Do you read the Torah?” He replied, “Yes.” He said, “And the Gospel?” He replied, “Yes.” He said, “And the Quran?” He replied, “By Him in whose hand is my soul, if I wished I could recite it.” He then called out to him and said, “Do you find me in the Torah and the Gospel?” He replied, “We find one like you, and the likeness of your community, and the likeness of the one who will bring you forth. We had hoped that you would be among us, but when you emerged we feared that it was you, so we looked, and it was not you.” He said, “And why is that?” He replied, “Because with him from his community are seventy thousand for whom there will be neither reckoning nor punishment, whereas with you there are only a few.” He said, “By Him in whose hand is my soul, I am indeed he, and it is indeed my community, and they are indeed more than seventy thousand, and seventy thousand, and seventy thousand.”

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode a donkey with a packsaddle and a velvet cloth beneath it. He rode and mounted Usamah b. Zayd behind him while he was visiting Sa'd b. Mu'adh among the Banu al-Harith in al-Khazraj, and that was before the Battle of Badr. He passed by a gathering in which there was a mixture of Muslims, polytheists, idol worshippers, and Jews. Among them was 'Abd Allah b. Ubayy b. Salul, and in the gathering was 'Abd Allah b. Rawahah. When the dust of the animal settled over the gathering, 'Abd Allah covered his nose with his cloak and said, 'Do not raise dust upon us.' The Prophet ﷺ greeted them, stopped before them, called them to Allah, and recited the Qur'an to them. Then 'Abd Allah b. Ubayy b. Salul said, 'O man, none is better than this if what you say is true. Do not annoy us in our gatherings, return to your own place, and if any of us comes to you, narrate to him.'
كَسَعَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ يَا لِلْأَنْصَارِ وَقَالَ الْمُهَاجِرِيُّ يَا لِلْمُهَاجِرِينَ قَالَ فَسَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «مَا بَالُ دَعْوَى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ؟ » فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ كَسَعَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ «دَعُوهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُنْتِنَةٌ» فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيِّ بْنِ سَلُولٍ قَدْ فَعَلُوهَا لَئِنْ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْأَذَلَّ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ دَعْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقِ فَقَالَ «دَعْهُ لَا يَتَحَدَّثُ النَّاسُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا يَقْتُلُ أَصْحَابَهُ»
✧ A man from the Muhajirun struck a man from the Ansar on the backside. The Ansari said, 'O Ansar!' and the Muhajir said, 'O Muhajirun!' He said: The Prophet ﷺ heard that and said, 'What is this call of the Jahiliyyah?' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, a man from the Muhajirun struck a man from the Ansar.' He said, 'Leave it, for it is stinking.' Then 'Abd Allah b. Ubayy b. Salul said, 'They have done it. If we return to Madinah, the more honorable will surely expel the more humble from it.' 'Umar said, 'Let me, O Messenger of Allah, strike the neck of this hypocrite.' He said, 'Leave him, lest people say that Muhammad kills his companions.'

سَحَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَهُودِيٌّ مِنْ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ لَبِيدُ بْنُ الْأَعْصَمِ حَتَّى كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ يَفْعَلُ الشَّيْءَ وَمَا يَفْعَلُهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَوْ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ دَعَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثُمَّ دَعَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ أَشَعُرْتِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا قَدْ أَفْتَانِي فِيمَا اسْتَفْتَيْتُهُ قَدْ جَاءَنِي رَجُلَانِ فَجَلَسَ أَحَدُهُمَا عِنْدَ رَأْسِي وَجَلَسَ الْآخَرُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيَّ فَقَالَ الَّذِي عِنْدَ رِجْلَيَّ لِلَّذِي عِنْدَ رَأْسِي مَا وَجَعُ الرَّجُلِ؟ قَالَ مَطْبُوبٌ قَالَ وَمَنْ طَبَّهُ؟ قَالَ لَبِيدُ بْنُ الْأَعْصَمِ قَالَ فِي أَيِّ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالَ فِي مُشْطٍ وَمُشَاطَةٍ وَجُفِّ طَلْعَةِ ذَكَرٍ قَالَ وَأَيْنَ هُوَ؟ قَالَ فِي بِئْرِ ذِي ذَرْوَانَ» قَالَ فَأَتَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي أُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ فَكَأَنَّ مَاءَهَا نُقَاعَةُ الْحِنَّاءِ وَلَكَأَنَّ نَخْلَهَا رُءُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَهَلَّا أَحْرَقْتَهُ أَوْ أَخْرَجْتَهُ؟ قَالَ «أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ عَافَانِيَ اللَّهُ وَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُثِيرَ عَلَى النَّاسِ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا» فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَدُفِنَتْ
✧ A Jew from Banu Zurayq, called Labid b. al-A'sam, bewitched the Prophet ﷺ until the Prophet ﷺ would imagine that he had done something when he had not done it. Then one day or one night, the Prophet ﷺ supplicated, then supplicated again, then said, 'O 'A'ishah, do you know that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has answered me in what I asked Him? Two men came to me: one sat at my head and the other at my feet. The one at my feet said to the one at my head, "What is the man's ailment?" He said, "He is bewitched." He said, "Who bewitched him?" He said, "Labid b. al-A'sam." He said, "In what?" He said, "In a comb and hair combings and the spathe of a male date palm." He said, "Where is it?" He said, "In the well of Dhi Arwan."' He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to it with a group of his companions, then came back and said, 'O 'A'ishah, its water was as if it were the infusion of henna, and its palm trees were as if they were the heads of devils.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, why did you not burn it or take it out?' He said, 'As for me, Allah has healed me, and I disliked to stir up any evil among the people because of it.' So he ordered it, and it was buried.

“A Jew from among the Jews of Bani Zuraiq, whose name was Labid bin A’sam, cast a spell on the Prophet ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ began to imagine that he had done something when he had not. One day, or one night, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ supplicated, and then supplicated again. Then he said: ‘O ‘Aishah, do you know that Allah has instructed me concerning the matter I asked Him about? Two men came to me, and one of them sat at my head and the other at my feet. The one at my head said to the one at my feet, or the one at my feet said to the one at my head "what is ailing this man ?" He said: “He has been affected by a spell.” He said: “Who cast the spell on him?” He said: “Labid bin A’sam.” He said: “With what?” He said: “With a comb and the hairs stuck to it, and the spathe of a male date palm.” He said: “Where is that?” He said: “In the well of Dhu Arwan.” She said: “So the Prophet ﷺ went to it, with a group of his Companions, then he came and said: ‘By Allah. O ‘Aishah. It was as if its water was infused with henna and its date palms were like the heads of devils.’” She said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, why don’t you burn them?’ He said: ‘As for me, Allah has healed me, and I do not like to let evil spread among the people.’ Then he issued orders that the well be filled up with earth.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3545)

✧ While a man was narrating in Kindah, he said, 'A smoke will come on the Day of Resurrection and will seize the hearing and sight of the hypocrites, and it will seize the believer like a cold.' He said: We were alarmed, so I went to Ibn Mas'ud. He said: He was reclining, but he became angry, sat up, and said, 'O people, whoever knows something should speak from it, and whoever does not know should say, "Allah knows best." For it is part of knowledge that a man says, when he does not know, "I do not know." Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said to His Prophet ﷺ: "Say, I do not ask you for any reward for it, and I am not of the pretentious" (Qur'an 38:86). Quraysh—the Prophet ﷺ supplicated against them and said, "O Allah, help me against them with seven years like the years of Yusuf." Then a year of famine seized them until they perished, eating carrion and bones. A man would see something like smoke between the sky and the earth. Abu Sufyan b. Harb came to him and said, "O Muhammad, you came to command the maintaining of kinship ties, and your people have perished. So supplicate to Allah." Then he recited this verse: "So watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke covering the people; this is a painful punishment" up to His saying: "Indeed, We will remove the punishment a little; indeed, you will return [to disbelief]" (Qur'an 44:10–15). He will remove the punishment from them when it comes, but then they will return to their disbelief. That is His saying: "The Day We will strike with the greatest assault" (Qur'an 44:16), that is the Day of Badr, and "Indeed, it will be a perpetual punishment" (Qur'an 44:16). And "Alif Lam Mim. The Romans have been defeated in the nearest land, but they, after their defeat, will overcome" (Qur'an 30:1–3). The Romans have passed, and the four have passed.'

✧ 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote to Kisra, Caesar, and Ukaydir of Dumat, inviting them to Allah Almighty.'

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ first fell ill in the house of Maymunah. His illness became severe until he lost consciousness. He said: They consulted about giving him ladud (a medicine poured into the side of the mouth), so they gave it to him. When he regained consciousness, he said: "What is this? Is this the action of women who have come from here?" and he pointed to the land of Abyssinia. Asma' bt. Umays was among them. They said: "We suspected you had pleurisy, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "If that were a disease, Allah would not afflict me with it. No one in the house shall remain but that he is given ladud, except the uncle of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ," meaning Abbas. He said: Indeed Maymunah was given ladud that day while she was fasting, due to the command of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

“I asked ‘Aishah: ‘O mother! Tell me about the sickness of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.’ She said: ‘He felt pain and started to spit (over his body), and we began to compare his spittle to the spittle of a person eating raisins. Like a person eating raisins and spitting out the seeds. He used to go around among his wives, but when he became ill, he asked them permission to stay in the house of ‘Aishah and that they should come to him in turns.’ She said: ‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me, (supported) between two men, with his feet making lines along the ground. One of them was ‘Abbas.’ I told Ibn ‘Abbas this Hadith and he said: ‘Do you know who the other man was whom ‘Aishah did not name? He was ‘Ali bin Abu Talib.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1618)

✧ We gave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ladud during his illness, and he began gesturing to us: "Do not give me ladud." We said: "It is the patient's dislike of medicine." When he regained consciousness, he said: "Did I not forbid you to give me ladud?" We said: "It is the patient's dislike of medicine." He said: "No one shall remain in the house but that he is given ladud," and I was looking at Abbas, for he had not been present with them.

✧ Whenever he fell ill, he would blow over himself with the mu'awwidhat and wipe over himself with his hand. She said: "When the Prophet ﷺ fell ill with the illness in which he died, I began to blow over him with the mu'awwidhat that he used to blow over himself with, and I would wipe with the hand of the Prophet ﷺ over him."

She said: Then I thought that he had been given the choice at that time.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us during his illness in which he died, with his head bandaged. I followed him until he stood on the minbar and said: "Indeed I am at this moment standing at the Hawd." Then he said: "Indeed a servant was offered the world and its adornment, and he chose the Hereafter." None of the people understood it except Abu Bakr, who said: "May my father and mother be your ransom; rather we ransom you with our wealth, our selves, and our children." He said: Then he descended from the minbar, and he was not seen on it again until this hour.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave a sermon and said: "Indeed Allah has given a servant a choice between granting him as much of the splendor of this world as He wills and meeting Him, and he chose meeting his Lord." Abu Bakr wept and said: "Rather we ransom you with our fathers and our sons." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Be quiet, O Abu Bakr." Then he said: "Indeed the most gracious of people to me in his companionship and his wealth is Abu Bakr. If I were to take a bosom friend from among people, I would have taken Abu Bakr, but there is the brotherhood of Islam and its affection. Indeed no small door shall remain in the mosque but that it is closed, except the small door of Abu Bakr." Abu Sa'id said: I said: "How strange! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ tells us that a servant was given a choice by Allah between this world and the Hereafter, and this one is weeping! And behold, the one given the choice was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the one weeping was Abu Bakr, and Abu Bakr was the most knowledgeable of us about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."

By Allah, I do not fear that you will associate partners with Allah after me, but I have been given tonight the keys of the treasures of the earth and the heaven, and I fear that you will vie with one another over them." Then he entered and did not come out of his house until Allah, Mighty and Exalted, took him, and it was the last sermon he delivered until Allah, Mighty and Exalted, took him.

«صُبُّوا عَلَيَّ مِنْ سَبْعِ قِرَبٍ لَمْ تُحْلَلْ أَوْكِيَتُهُنَّ لَعَلِّي أَسْتَرِيحُ فَأَعْهَدَ إِلَى النَّاسِ» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَأَجْلَسْنَاهُ فِي مِخْضَبٍ لِحَفْصَةَ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ وَسَكَبْنَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَاءِ حَتَّى طَفِقَ يُشِيرُ إِلَيْنَا أَنْ قَدْ فَعَلْتُنَّ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لِلشُّهَدَاءِ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ
✧ "Pour over me from seven waterskins whose ties have not been untied, perhaps I may find relief and give instructions to the people." Aisha said: We seated him in a copper basin belonging to Hafsa and poured water over him until he began gesturing to us: "You have done it." Then he came out, praised Allah and extolled Him, and sought forgiveness for the martyrs who were killed on the day of Uhud.
لَمَّا حَضَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَفِي الْبَيْتِ رِجَالٌ فِيهِمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ ﷺ «أَكْتُبُ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لَا تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا» قَالَ عُمَرُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ غَلَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَجَعُ وَعِنْدَكُمُ الْقُرْآنُ حَسْبُنَا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ وَاخْتَصَمُوا لَمَّا أَكْثَرُوا اللَّغَطَ وَالْأَحَادِيثَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قُومُوا» فَكَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ الرَّزِيَّةَ كُلَّ الرَّزِيَّةِ مَا حَالَ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنَ اخْتِلَافِهِمْ وَلَغَطِهِمْ»
✧ When the Prophet ﷺ was near death and there were men in the house, among them Umar b. al-Khattab, the Prophet ﷺ said: "I will write for you a book, after which you will never go astray." Umar said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ is overcome by pain, and you have the Quran; sufficient for us is the Book of Allah." So the people of the house differed and argued. When the noise and talk increased in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Get up." Ibn Abbas used to say: "The calamity, the whole calamity, is what prevented the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from writing that book for them because of their disagreement and noise."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي مَرَضِهِ «ادْعِي لِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَبَاكِ حَتَّى أَكْتُبَ فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَتَمَنَّى مُتَمَنٍّ وَيَقُولُ أَنَا أَوْلَى وَيَأْبَى اللَّهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنونَ إِلَّا أَبَا بَكْرٍ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said during his illness: "Call for me Abu Bakr, your father, so that I may write, for I fear that someone will wish and say: 'I am more entitled,' but Allah and the believers refuse except Abu Bakr."
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي وَجَعِهِ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ «صُبُّوا عَلَيَّ مِنْ سَبْعِ قِرَبٍ لَمْ تُحْلَلْ أَوْكِيَتُهُنَّ لَعَلِّي أَعْهَدُ إِلَى النَّاسِ» قَالَتْ فَأَجْلَسْنَاهُ فِي مِخْضَبٍ لِحَفْصَةَ فَمَا زِلْنَا نَصُبُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى طَفِقَ يُشِيرُ إِلَيْنَا أَنْ قَدْ فَعَلْتُنَّ
✧ The Prophet ﷺ said during his illness in which he was taken: "Pour over me from seven waterskins whose ties have not been untied, perhaps I may give instructions to the people." She said: We seated him in a basin belonging to Hafsa, and we kept pouring over him until he began gesturing to us: "You have done it."

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said during the illness in which he died: "Pour over me from seven waterskins whose openings have not been untied, so that I may find relief and then give my covenant to the people." A'isha said: So we seated him in a copper tub belonging to Hafsa bt. Umar, and we poured water over him until he began to gesture to us that we had done enough. Then he went out to the mosque.
وَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ إِذَا قَامَ مَقَامَكَ لَمْ يُسْمِعِ النَّاسَ مِنَ الْبُكَاءِ فَمُرْ عُمَرَ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ فَقَالَ «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ» فَقُلْتُ مِثْلَهَا فَقَالَ ﷺ «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ» فَقُلْتُ لِحَفْصَةَ قُولِي لَهُ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ إِذَا
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell ill and said: "Command Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." I said: O Messenger of Allah, when Abu Bakr stands in your place, the people will not be able to hear him due to weeping, so command Umar to lead the people in prayer. He said: "Command Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." I said the same thing again, and he ﷺ said: "Command Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer."

✧ I entered upon A'isha and said to her: Will you not tell me about the illness of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? She said: Yes, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became gravely ill and said: "Have the people prayed?" I said: No, O Messenger of Allah, they are waiting for you. He said: "Put water for me in the tub." We did so, and he ﷺ performed ghusl. Then he tried to rise but fainted. Then he regained consciousness and said: "Have the people prayed?" We said: No, O Messenger of Allah, and they are waiting for you. She said: The people were gathered in the mosque waiting for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for the last evening prayer. She said: So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a man to Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. The messenger came to him and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commands you to lead the people in prayer. Abu Bakr, who was a tender-hearted man, said: O Umar, lead the people in prayer. Umar said: You are more entitled to that. So Abu Bakr led them in prayer during those days. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt some relief and went out supported by two men, one of whom was al-Abbas b. Abd al-Muttalib, while Abu Bakr was leading the people in prayer. When Abu Bakr saw him, he moved to step back, but he gestured to him not to step back. He said to them: "Seat me beside Abu Bakr." So they seated him beside Abu Bakr. She said: Abu Bakr prayed while following the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, standing, and the people prayed following the prayer of Abu Bakr, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was seated. Ubayd Allah said: I entered upon Ibn Abbas and said to him: Shall I present to you what A'isha narrated to me about the illness of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: Yes. So I narrated her hadith about the illness of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He did not object to anything of it except that he said: Did she not name for you the man who was with al-Abbas? I said: No. He said: It was Ali.
«يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَوْصَى إِلَى عَلِيٍّ وَلَقَدْ دَعَا بِطَسْتٍ فَبَالَ فِيهِ وَإِنَّهُ لَعَلَى صَدْرِي فَانْخَنَثَ فَمَاتَ وَمَا أَشْعُرُ بِهِ»
✧ They claim that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a bequest to Ali. Indeed, he called for a basin and urinated in it while it was on my chest, and then he became limp and died, and I was not aware of it.
سُئِلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخَصَّكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِشَيْءٍ؟ قَالَ مَا خَصَّنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يُعَمِّمْ بِهِ النَّاسَ كَافَّةً إِلَّا مَا كَانَ فِي قِرَابِ سَيْفِي هَذَا فَأَخْرَجَ صَحِيفَةً مَكْتُوبَةً «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ سَرَقَ مَنَارَ الْأَرْضِ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَيْهِ لَعَنَ اللَّهِ مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا»
✧ Ali b. Abi Talib was asked: Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ single you out for anything? He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not single us out for anything that he did not make general for all people, except what is in the sheath of this sword of mine. Then he took out a sheet on which was written: "May Allah curse whoever slaughters for other than Allah; may Allah curse whoever steals the boundary markers of the land; may Allah curse whoever curses his parents; may Allah curse whoever gives shelter to an innovator."
كَانَ آخِرُ وَصِيَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُغَرْغِرُ بِهَا فِي صَدْرِهِ وَمَا كَانَ يُفِيضُ بِهَا لِسَانُهُ «الصَّلَاةَ الصَّلَاةَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِيمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانَكُمْ»
✧ The last bequest of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, while he was gurgling in his chest and his tongue could not utter it clearly, was: "The prayer, the prayer; fear Allah regarding those your right hands possess."
سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ مِيرَاثِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ «تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ مِيرَاثِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا تَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ دِينَارًا وَلَا دِرْهَمًا وَلَا شَاةً وَلَا بَعِيرًا وَلَا أَوْصَى بِشَيْءٍ»
✧ I asked A'isha about the inheritance of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and she said: You ask me about the inheritance of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ left neither a dinar nor a dirham, nor a sheep nor a camel, and he made no bequest of anything.

✧ Fatima bt. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent to Abu Bakr asking for her inheritance from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, from what Allah had granted him as spoils in Madinah, Fadak, and what remained of the fifth of Khaybar. Abu Bakr said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "We are not inherited from; what we leave is charity. The family of Muhammad ﷺ only eats from this wealth." By Allah, I will not change anything of the charity of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the state it was in during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I will act in it as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ acted. Abu Bakr refused to give Fatima anything from it, so Fatima became angry with Abu Bakr over that and shunned him, and did not speak to him until she died six months after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When she died, her husband Ali b. Abi Talib ؓ buried her at night and did not inform Abu Bakr of her death, and he prayed over her. Ali had a certain standing among the people during Fatima's lifetime, but when Fatima died, he noticed the people's faces turning away from him, so he sought reconciliation with Abu Bakr and to pledge allegiance to him, although he had not pledged allegiance during those months. He sent to Abu Bakr: Come to us, but let no one come with you, disliking that Umar b. al-Khattab should be present. Umar b. al-Khattab said to Abu Bakr: By Allah, do not enter upon them alone. Abu Bakr said: What could they possibly do to me? By Allah, I will go to them. So Abu Bakr entered upon them. Ali b. Abi Talib then bore witness and said: We have recognized, O Abu Bakr, your excellence and what Allah has given you, and we do not grudge you any good that Allah has brought to you, but you have acted autocratically toward us in this matter, and we saw that we had a right due to our kinship with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He continued to speak to Abu Bakr until Abu Bakr's eyes overflowed. When Abu Bakr spoke, he said: By Him in whose hand is my soul, kinship with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is more beloved to me than maintaining ties with my own family and kin. As for the dispute between me and you over these properties, I have not fallen short in them regarding what is right, and I have not left anything that I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do with them except that I have done it. Ali b. Abi Talib ؓ said to Abu Bakr: Your appointment is this evening for the pledge of allegiance. When Abu Bakr had prayed the noon prayer, he ascended the pulpit, bore witness, then mentioned the affair of Ali b. Abi Talib and his delay from pledging allegiance and the excuse he had given to him. Then he sought forgiveness. Ali b. Abi Talib bore witness, magnifying the right and sanctity of Abu Bakr, and stating that what he had done was not out of envy of Abu Bakr nor denial of what Allah had favored him with, but we saw that we had a share in this matter, and he acted autocratically toward us, so we felt something in ourselves. The Muslims were pleased with that and said: You have done right. The Muslims became close to Ali once more when he returned to the matter with what is proper.

✧ Umar b. al-Khattab sent for me and said: Some families of your people have arrived in Madinah, and we have ordered a small share for them, so distribute it among them. I said: O Commander of the Believers, order someone else to do that. He said: Take it, O man. While I was in that situation, his freedman Yarfa' came and said: Here are Uthman, Abd al-Rahman b. Awf, Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas, and al-Zubayr b. al-Awwam - and I do not know whether he mentioned Talha or not - asking permission to enter upon you. He said: Give them permission. Then he waited a while, then came and said: Al-Abbas and Ali are asking permission to enter upon you. He said: Give them permission. When al-Abbas entered, he said: O Commander of the Believers, judge between me and this one - at that time they were disputing over what Allah had granted His Messenger as spoils from the wealth of Banu al-Nadir. The people said: Judge between them, O Commander of the Believers, and relieve each of them from the other, for their dispute has gone on too long. Umar said: I adjure you by Allah, by whose permission the heavens and the earth stand, do you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "We are not inherited from; what we leave is charity"? They said: He did say that. Then he said to the two of them the same thing, and they said: Yes. He said: I will inform you about this fay'. Allah, mighty and sublime, singled out His Prophet ﷺ with something He did not give to anyone else, as He said: {And what Allah restored to His Messenger from them, you did not spur any horses or camels for it} [Quran 59:6]. So this was exclusively for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. By Allah, he did not keep it from you or hoard it over you; he distributed it among you and spread it among you until what remained of the wealth remained. He would spend on his family for a year - and perhaps Ma'mar said: he would withhold from it the provision of his family for a year - then he would place what remained in the place of Allah's wealth. When Allah took His Messenger ﷺ, Abu Bakr said: I am the one most entitled to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ after him; I will act in it as he used to act. Then he turned to Ali and al-Abbas and said: And you two claim that he was unjust and sinful in it, but Allah knows that he was truthful, righteous, and followed the truth. Then I was given charge of it after Abu Bakr for two years of my rule, and I acted in it like the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr acted. And you two claim that I am unjust and sinful in it, while Allah knows that I am truthful, righteous, and follow the truth. Then you came to me - this one, meaning al-Abbas, seeking his inheritance from his nephew, and this one, meaning Ali, asking me for the inheritance of his wife. I said to you both: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "We are not inherited from; what we leave is charity." Then it occurred to me to hand it over to you two, so I took from you both the covenant of Allah and His pledge that you would act in it as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr acted, and as I have acted during my charge. You said: Hand it over to us on that condition. Do you want from me a judgment other than this? By Him by whose permission the heavens and the earth stand, I will not judge between you two in it with any judgment other than this. If you are unable to manage it, then hand it back to me. He said: Then Ali gained control over it, and it was in Ali's hand, then in the hand of Hasan b. Ali, then in the hand of Husayn b. Ali, then in the hand of Ali b. Husayn, then in the hand of Hasan b. Hasan, then in the hand of Zayd b. Hasan. Ma'mar said: Then it was in the hand of Abd Allah b. al-Hasan.

✧ My heirs will not divide a single dinar after me. What I leave after the expenses of my dependents and the provision of my worker is charity.
«لَا يَقْسِمُ وَرَثَتِي دِينَارًا مَا تَرَكْتُ بَعْدَ نَفَقَةِ نِسَائِي وَمَئُونَةِ عَامِلِي فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ»
✧ My heirs will not divide a single dinar. What I leave after the expenses of my wives and the provision of my worker is charity.
إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرَدْنَ يَبْعَثْنَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ؓ يَسْأَلْنَهُ مِيرَاثَهُنَّ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ لَهُنَّ عَائِشَةُ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَاهُ فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ»
✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, the wives of the Prophet ﷺ wanted to send Uthman b. Affan to Abu Bakr al-Siddiq ؓ to ask him for their inheritance from the Prophet ﷺ. A'isha said to them: Did the Prophet ﷺ not say: "We are not inherited from; what we leave is charity"?
«وَاللَّهِ لَا يَقْسِمُ وَرَثَتِي دِينَارًا مَا تَرَكْتُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدَ نَفَقَةِ نِسَائِي وَمَئُونَةِ عَامِلِي فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ»
✧ «By Allah, my heirs will not divide a single dinar. Whatever I leave behind after the expenses of my wives and the provision of my worker is charity.»
رَجَعَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ مِنْ جِنَازَةٍ بِالْبَقِيعِ وَأَنَا أَجِدُ صُدَاعًا فِي رَأْسِي وَأَنَا أَقُولُ وَا رَأْسَاهُ قَالَ «بَلْ أَنَا يَا عَائِشَةُ وَا رَأْسَاهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «وَمَا ضَرَّكِ لَوْ مِتِّ قَبْلِي فَغَسَّلْتُكِ وَكَفَّنْتُكِ وَصَلَّيْتُ عَلَيْكِ ثُمَّ دَفَنْتُكِ؟ » قُلْتُ لَكَأَنِّي بِكَ أَنْ لَوْ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ قَدْ رَجَعْتَ إِلَى بَيْتِي فَأَعْرَسْتَ فِيهِ بِبَعْضِ نِسَائِكَ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ بُدِئَ فِي وَجَعِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned to me one day from a funeral in Al-Baqi' while I had a headache. I said, "O Rasulullah, my head is hurting." He replied, "Rather, it is my head that is hurting." Then he said, "What harm would it do to you if you were to die before me, then I would wash you, shroud you, pray over you, and bury you?" I said, "Because I fear that if you did that, you would return to my house and marry one of your other wives." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled, then he began to experience the pain in which he eventually passed away.

اشْتَكَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ نِسَاؤُهُ انْظُرْ حَيْثُ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تَكُونَ فِيهِ فَنَحْنُ نَأْتِيكَ قَالَ ﷺ «أَوَكُلُّكُنَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ؟ » قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَانْتَقَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِ عَائِشَةَ فَمَاتَ فِيهِ ﷺ
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell ill, so his wives said, "Choose where you would like to be, and we will come to you." He ﷺ said, "Will all of you agree to that?" She said, "Yes." So he moved to the house of Aisha and died in it ﷺ.
قَالَ لِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَيُّ يَوْمٍ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قُلْتُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ أَمُوتَ فِيهِ فَمَاتَ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ عَشِيَّةً وَدُفِنَ لَيْلًا
✧ Abu Bakr said to me, "On which day did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ die?" I said, "Monday." He said, "I hope to die on that day." And he died on Monday in the evening and was buried at night.

«تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بَيْتِي وَفِي يَوْمِي وَبَيْنَ سَحْرِي وَنَحْرِي وَجَمَعَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ رِيقِي وَرِيقِهِ دَخَلَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَمَعَهُ سِوَاكٌ يَمْضَغُ فَأَخَذْتُهُ فَمَضَغْتُهُ ثُمَّ سَنَنْتُهُ»
مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي يَوْمِي بَيْنَ سَحْرِي وَنَحْرِي فَدَخَلَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَلَيْهِ وَمَعَهُ سِوَاكٌ رَطْبٌ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ لَهُ إِلَيْهِ حَاجَةً فَأَخَذْتُهُ فَمَضَغْتُهُ وَقَضَمْتُهُ وَطَيَّبْتُهُ فَاسْتَنَّ كَأَحْسَنِ مَا رَأَيْتُهُ مُسْتَنًّا ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ يَرْفَعُ فَسَقَطَ فَأَخَذْتُ أَدْعُو اللَّهَ بِدُعَاءٍ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهِ جِبْرِيلُ أَوْ يَدْعُو بِهِ إِذَا مَرِضَ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ «بَلِ الرَّفِيقُ الْأَعْلَى مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ» ثَلَاثًا وَفَاضَتْ نَفْسُهُ ﷺ فَقَالَتِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَمَعَ بَيْنَ رِيقِي وَرِيقِهِ فِي آخِرِ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ died on my day, between my chest and my neck. Abd al-Rahman b. Abi Bakr entered upon him with a fresh tooth-stick. He looked at it and I thought he needed it, so I took it, chewed it, softened it, and made it fragrant. Then he used it as well as I have ever seen anyone use a tooth-stick. Then he tried to raise himself and fell, so I began to supplicate Allah with the supplication that Gabriel used to make for him, or that he used to make when he was ill. He kept saying, "Rather, the highest companion in Paradise," three times, and his soul departed ﷺ. She said, "Praise be to Allah who brought together my saliva and his saliva on the last day of this world."

أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَصْغَتْ إِلَيْهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ وَهِيَ مُسْنِدَتُهُ إِلَى صَدْرِهَا يَقُولُ «اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالرَّفِيقِ الْأَعْلَى»
✧ She heard the Prophet ﷺ before he died, while she was leaning him against her chest, say: "O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, and join me with the highest companion."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ جَعَلَ يُلْقِي عَلَى وَجْهِهِ طَرَفَ خَمِيصَةٍ فَإِذَا اغْتَمَّ بِهَا كَشَفَهَا عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ»
✧ When death approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he began to place the edge of a cloak over his face, and when he felt distressed by it, he uncovered his face and said, "Allah's curse be upon the Jews and Christians who took the graves of their prophets as mosques."
«أَنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بَيْنَا هُمْ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ لَمْ يَفْجَأْهُمْ إِلَّا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ كَشَفَ سِتْرَ حُجْرَةَ عَائِشَةَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَهُمْ صُفُوفٌ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ ثُمَّ تَبَسَّمَ فَضَحِكَ فَنَكَصَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَى عَقِبِهِ لِيَصِلَ الصَّفَّ وَظَنَّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ
✧ While the Muslims were in the dawn prayer on Monday, with Abu Bakr leading them, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ suddenly appeared to them, having drawn back the curtain of Aisha's chamber. He looked at them while they were in rows in their prayer, then he smiled and laughed. Abu Bakr stepped back on his heels to join the row, thinking that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to come out for the prayer.
أَنَّهُ لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فِي النَّاسِ خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ «لَا أَسْمَعَنَّ أَحَدًا يَقُولُ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ قَدْ مَاتَ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ لَمْ يَمُتْ وَلَكِنْ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَبُّهُ كَمَا أَرْسَلَ إِلَى مُوسَى فَلَبِثَ عَنْ قَوْمِهِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً»
✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, Umar b. al-Khattab stood addressing the people and said, "Let me not hear anyone say that Muhammad ﷺ has died. Muhammad ﷺ has not died, but his Lord sent to him as He sent to Moses, and he remained away from his people for forty nights."
أَنْ يُقَطِّعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَيْدِي رِجَالٍ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ مَاتَ»
✧ That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would cut off the hands and feet of men who claim that he has died."
أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ «أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ مِنْ مَسْكَنِهِ بِالسُّنْحِ حَتَّى نَزَلَ فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلَمْ يُكَلِّمِ النَّاسَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَتَيَمَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُسَجًّى بِبُرْدَةَ حِبَرَةٍ فَكَشَفَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ فَقَبَّلَهُ وَبَكَى ثُمَّ قَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَاللَّهِ لَا يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ مَوْتَتَيْنِ أَبَدًا أَمَّا الْمُوتَةُ الَّتِي كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْكَ فَقَدْ مُتَّهَا»
✧ Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, informed him: "Abu Bakr came on horseback from his dwelling in al-Sunh until he dismounted and entered the mosque. He did not speak to the people until he entered upon Aisha and approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who was covered with a striped cloak. He uncovered his face, bent over him, kissed him, and wept. Then he said, 'May my father be your ransom. By Allah, Allah will never combine two deaths upon you. As for the death that was decreed for you, you have died it.'"
أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَرَجَ وَعُمَرُ يُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ اجْلِسْ فَأَبَى عُمَرُ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ فَقَالَ اجْلِسْ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَجْلِسَ فَتَشَهَّدَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَمَالَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ وَتَرَكُوا عُمَرَ فَقَالَ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ يَعْبُدُ مُحَمَّدًا فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ قَدْ مَاتَ وَمَنْ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ
✧ Abu Bakr went out while Umar was speaking to the people. He said, "Sit down." Umar refused to sit. He said, "Sit down." Umar refused to sit. Abu Bakr then uttered the testimony of faith, and the people turned to him and left Umar. He said, "O people, whoever among you worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad ﷺ has died. Whoever worshipped Allah, then Allah is alive and does not die."
أَنْ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ تَلَاهَا عُقِرْتُ حَتَّى مَا تُقِلُّنِي رِجْلَايَ وَأَهْوَيْتُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَعَرَفْتُ حِينَ سَمِعْتُهُ تَلَاهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ مَاتَ»
✧ I heard Abu Bakr recite it. I was hobbled until my legs could not carry me, and I fell to the ground. I knew, when I heard him recite it, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had died.
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ مِنَ الْغَدِ حِينَ بُويِعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاسْتَوَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ عُمَرُ فَتَشَهَّدَ قَبْلَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي قَدْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ أَمْسِ مَقَالَةً لَمْ تَكُنْ كَمَا قُلْتُ وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا وَجَدْتُهَا فِي كِتَابٍ أَنْزَلَهُ اللَّهُ وَلَا فِي عَهْدٍ عَهِدَهُ إِلَيَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَكِنِّي كُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَعِيشَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى يَدْبُرَنَا يَقُولُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ آخِرَنَا فَاخْتَارَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا لِرَسُولِهِ ﷺ الَّذِي عِنْدَهُ عَلَى الَّذِي عِنْدَكُمْ وَهَذَا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ هَدَى اللَّهُ بِهِ رَسُولَهُ ﷺ فَخُذُوا بِهِ تَهْتَدُوا بِمَا هَدَى اللَّهُ بِهِ رَسُولَهُ ﷺ»
✧ He heard Umar b. al-Khattab the next day, when Abu Bakr was given the oath of allegiance in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr took his place on the minbar of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Umar stood and testified before Abu Bakr, then said: "Now then, I said to you yesterday a statement that was not as I said. By Allah, I did not find it in a Book that Allah sent down, nor in a covenant that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entrusted to me. But I hoped that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would live until he managed us—meaning until he was the last of us. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, chose for His Messenger ﷺ what is with Him over what is with you. This is the Book of Allah, by which Allah guided His Messenger ﷺ. Hold fast to it, and you will be guided by what Allah guided His Messenger ﷺ."
أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بَكَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ «يَا أَبَتَاهُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ مَا أَدْنَاهُ يَا أَبَتَاهُ إِلَى جِبْرِيلَ أَنْعَاهُ يَا أَبَتَاهُ جُنَّةُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ مَأْوَاهُ»
✧ Fatimah wept for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "O father, how near he is to his Lord! O father, to Jibril we announce his death. O father, the Garden of Firdaws is his abode."
لَمَّا تَغَشَّى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْكَرْبُ كَانَ رَأْسُهُ فِي حِجْرِ فَاطِمَةَ فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ وَاكَرْبَاهُ لِكَرْبِكَ الْيَوْمَ يَا أَبَتَاهُ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ﷺ وَقَالَ «لَا كَرْبَ عَلَى أَبِيكِ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ» فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ وَا أَبَتَاهُ أَجَابَ رَبًّا دَعَاهُ وَا أَبَتَاهُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ مَا أَدْنَاهُ وَا أَبَتَاهُ إِلَى جَنَّةِ الْفِرْدَوْسِ مَأْوَاهُ وَا أَبَتَاهُ إِلَى جِبْرِيلَ أَنْعَاهُ قَالَ أَنَسٌ «فَلَمَّا دَفَنَّاهُ مَرَرْتُ بِمَنْزِلِ فَاطِمَةَ فَقَالَتْ يَا أَنَسُ أَطَابَتْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ أَنْ تَحْثُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ التُّرَابَ؟! »
✧ When the distress overcame the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, his head was in Fatimah's lap. Fatimah said, "What distress for your distress today, O father!" He ﷺ raised his head and said, "No distress upon your father after today, O Fatimah." When he died, Fatimah said, "O father, he answered a Lord who called him. O father, how near he is to his Lord! O father, to the Garden of Firdaws is his abode. O father, to Jibril we announce his death." Anas said, "When we buried him, I passed by Fatimah's dwelling and she said, 'O Anas, did your souls find it easy to heap dust upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?!'"
«دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَأَخْرَجَتْ إِلَيْنَا إِزَارًا غَلِيظًا مِمَّا يُصْنَعُ بِالْيَمَنِ وَكِسَاءً مِمَّا يُسَمُّونَهَا الْمُلَبَّدَةَ فَأَقْسَمَتْ بِاللَّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُبِضَ فِي هَذَيْنِ الثَّوْبَيْنِ»
✧ I entered upon A'ishah, and she brought out to us a thick lower garment of the kind made in Yemen and a cloak of what they call mulabbadah. She swore by Allah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died in these two garments.
أَخْرَجَتْ إِلَيْنَا عَائِشَةُ إِزَارًا مُلَبَّدًا وَكِسَاءً غَلِيظًا فَقَالَتْ «فِي هَذَا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ»
✧ A'ishah brought out to us a felted lower garment and a thick cloak, and said, "In this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away."
«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سُجِّيَ فِي ثَوْبٍ حِبَرَةٍ»
✧ The Prophet ﷺ was covered with a hibarah garment.
«أُدْرِجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي ثَوْبٍ حِبَرَةٍ ثُمَّ أُخِّرَ عَنْهُ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was wrapped in a hibarah garment, then it was removed from him.
Sahih Ibn Hibban 6627Hasan sahih
لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَحْدَقَ بِهِ أَصْحَابُهُ وَشَكُّوا فِي غُسْلِهِ وَقَالُوا نُجَرِّدُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا نُجَرِّدُ مَوْتَانَا أَمْ كَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ؟ فَأَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنَةً فَمَا مِنْهُمْ رَجُلٌ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَإِذَا مُنَادٍ يُنَادِي مِنَ الْبَيْتِ لَا يَدْرُونَ مَنْ هُوَ أَنِ اغْسِلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَلَيْهِ ثِيَابَهُ قَالَتْ فَغَسَّلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصُهُ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ لَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا غَسَّلَهُ غَيْرُ نِسَائِهِ
✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, his Companions surrounded him and were uncertain about washing him. They said, "Should we strip the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as we strip our dead, or how should we do?" Allah, Mighty and Majestic, sent upon them a slumber, and none of them raised his head. Then a caller called from the house—they did not know who it was—"Wash the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with his clothes on." She said, "So they washed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with his shirt on." A'ishah said, "If I had known then what I know now, none but his wives would have washed him."
Sahih Ibn Hibban 6628Hasan sahih
لَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا لِغُسْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ اخْتَلَفُوا بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَالُوا وَاللَّهِ مَا نَدْرِي أَنُجَرِّدُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا نُجَرِّدُ مَوْتَانَا أَوْ نُغَسِّلُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ ثِيَابُهُ؟ قَالَتْ فَأَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمُ النَّوْمَ حَتَّى إِنَّ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ رَجُلٍ إِلَّا ذَقْنُهُ فِي صَدْرِهِ ثُمَّ نَادَى مُنَادٍ مِنْ جَانِبِ الْبَيْتِ مَا يَدْرُونَ مَا هُوَ أَنِ اغْسِلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصُهُ قَالَ فَوَثَبُوا إِلَيْهِ وَثْبَةَ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ فَغَسَّلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصُهُ يَصُبُّونَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ وَيُدَلِّكُونَهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْقَمِيصِ وَكَانَ الَّذِي أَجْلَسَهُ فِي حِجْرِهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَسْنَدَهُ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ قَالَتْ «فَمَا رُئِيَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا يُرَى مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ»
✧ When they gathered to wash the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, they differed among themselves. They said, "By Allah, we do not know whether to strip the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as we strip our dead, or to wash him with his clothes on." She said, "Allah sent sleep upon them until every man's chin was on his chest. Then a caller called from the side of the house—they did not know what it was—'Wash the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with his shirt on.'" He said, "They sprang to him like one man and washed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with his shirt on, pouring water over him and rubbing him from behind the shirt. The one who sat him in his lap was Ali b. Abi Talib, leaning him against his chest." She said, "Nothing was seen of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ of what is seen of a dead person."
«غُطِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي حُلَّةٍ يَمَنِيَّةٍ كَانَتْ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ نُزِعَتْ مِنْهُ فَكُفِّنَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ سُحُولٍ يَمَانِيَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا عِمَامَةٌ وَلَا قَمِيصٌ فَنَزَعَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ الْحُلَّةَ وَقَالَ أُكَفَّنُ فِيهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَمْ يُكَفَّنْ فِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأُكَفَّنُ فِيهَا فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was covered with a Yemeni suit that belonged to Abdullah b. Abi Bakr. Then it was removed from him, and he was shrouded in three white Yemeni cotton garments, with no turban and no shirt. Abdullah took the suit and said, 'I will be shrouded in it.' Then he said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not shrouded in it, so should I be shrouded in it?' And he gave it away as charity.

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كُفِّنَ فِي ثَوْبٍ نَجْرَانِيٍّ وَرَيْطَتَيْنِ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was shrouded in a Najrani garment and two soft white cloths.
