إِنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ شَاوَرَ الْهُرْمُزَانَ فِي أَصْبَهَانَ وَفَارِسَ وَأَذْرَبِيجَانَ، بِأَيِّهِمْ يَبْدَأُ بِهَا ؟ فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، إِنَّ أَصْبَهَانَ الرَّأْسُ، وَفَارِسَ وَأَذْرَبِيجَانَ الْجَنَاحَانِ، فَإِنْ قَطَعْتَ أَحَدَ الْجَنَاحَيْنِ لَاذَ الرَّأْسُ بِالْجَنَاحِ الْآخَرِ، وَإِنْ قَطَعْتَ الرَّأْسَ وَقَعَ الْجَنَاحَانِ، فَابْدَأْ بِأَصْبَهَانَ. قَالَ: وَدَخَلَ عُمَرُ ؓ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَإِذَا هُوَ بِالنُّعْمَانِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ يُصَلِّي، فَانْتَظَرَهُ حَتَّى قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي مُسْتَعْمِلُكَ، فَقَالَ: أَمَّا جَابِيًا فَلَا، وَلَكِنْ غَازِيًا، قَالَ: فَإِنَّكَ غَازٍ، قَالَ: فَسَرَّحَهُ وَكَتَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ أَنْ يَلْحَقُوا بِهِ، وَفِيهِمُ الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ، وَحُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، وَالْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ، وَالْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ مَعْدِ يَكْرِبَ ؓ، قَالَ: فَأَتَاهُمُ النُّعْمَانُ ؓ وَبَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُمْ نَهَرٌ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمُ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ، وَمَلِكُهُمْ ذُو الْجَنَاحَيْنِ، فَاسْتَشَارَ أَصْحَابَهُ، فَقَالَ: مَا تَرَوْنَ أَقْعُدُ لَهُمْ فِي هَيْئَةِ الْحَرْبِ، أَمْ أَقْعُدُ لَهُمْ فِي هَيْئَةِ الْمُلْكِ وَبَهْجَتِهِ ؟ قَالُوا: لَا، بَلِ اقْعُدْ لَهُمْ فِي هَيْئَةِ الْمُلْكِ وَبَهْجَتِهِ
✧ Umar ibn al-Khattab consulted al-Hurmuzan about Isfahan, Persia, and Azerbaijan: which of them should he begin with? He said: 'O Commander of the Faithful, Isfahan is the head, and Persia and Azerbaijan are the two wings. If you cut one wing, the head will resort to the other wing. If you cut the head, the two wings will fall. So begin with Isfahan.' He said: Umar ؓ entered the mosque and found al-Nu'man ibn Muqarrin praying. He waited until he finished his prayer, then said: 'I am appointing you as a governor.' He said: 'As a tax collector, no, but as a warrior.' He said: 'Then you are a warrior.' He said: So he dispatched him and wrote to the people of Kufa to join him, among them al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam, Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, Abdullah ibn Amr, al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah, al-Ash'ath ibn Qays, and Amr ibn Ma'di Karib ؓ. He said: Al-Nu'man ؓ came to them, and between him and them was a river. He sent al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah to them. Their king was Dhu al-Janahayn. He consulted his companions and said: 'What do you think? Should I sit for them in the posture of war, or should I sit for them in the posture of kingship and its splendor?' They said: 'No, rather sit for them in the posture of kingship and its splendor.'

وَكَتَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ إِلَى خَالِدٍ ؓ - يَعْنِي يَوْمَ الْيَمَامَةِ وَقَتْلِ أَهْلِ الرِّدَّةِ - أَنْ يَسِيرَ إِلَى الْحِيرَةِ ثُمَّ يَمْضِيَ إِلَى الشَّامِ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ الْحِيرَةَ كَتَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِ فَارِسَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ أَنْ لَا أَبْرَحَ حَتَّى أُفْزِعَهُمْ، فَأَغَارَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى سُورَا، فَقَتَلَ وَسَبَى، ثُمَّ أَغَارَ عَلَى عَيْنِ التَّمْرِ فَقَتَلَ وَسَبَى، ثُمَّ مَضَى إِلَى الشَّامِ. قَالَ عَامِرٌ يَعْنِي الشَّعْبِيَّ: فَأَخْرَجَ إِلَيَّ ابْنُ بُقَيْلَةَ - يَعْنِي عَبْدَ الْمَسِيحِ الْحِمْيَرِيَّ - كِتَابَ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ ؓ إِلَيْهِمْ: بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ، مِنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ إِلَى مَرَازِبَةِ فَارِسَ، سَلَامٌ عَلَى مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْهُدَى، أَمَّا بَعْدُ: فَإِنِّي أَحْمَدُ اللهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ، بِالْحَمْدِ الَّذِي هُوَ أَهْلُهُ، الَّذِي فَصَلَ حُرُمَكُمْ، وَفَرَّقَ جَمَاعَتَكُمْ، وَوَهَّنَ بَأْسَكُمْ، وَسَلَبَ مُلْكَكُمْ، فَإِذَا جَاءَكُمْ كِتَابِي هَذَا، فَاعْتَقِدُوا مِنِّي الذِّمَّةَ، وَأَدُّوا الْجِزْيَةَ، وَابْعَثُوا إِلَيَّ بِالرُّهُنِ، وَإِلَّا، فَوَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَأُقَاتِلَنَّكُمْ بِقَوْمٍ، يُحِبُّونَ الْمَوْتَ كَحُبِّكُمُ الْحَيَاةَ، وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْهُدَى
✧ Abu Bakr ؓ wrote to Khalid ؓ — meaning on the day of al-Yamamah and the killing of the apostates — to march to al-Hirah then proceed to Syria. When he camped at al-Hirah, he wrote to the people of Persia, then said: 'I would love not to leave until I frighten them.' So he raided them until he reached Sura, killing and taking captives. Then he raided Ayn al-Tamr, killing and taking captives. Then he proceeded to Syria. Amir, meaning al-Sha'bi, said: Ibn Buqaylah — meaning Abd al-Masih al-Himyari — brought out to me the letter of Khalid ibn al-Walid ؓ to them: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. From Khalid ibn al-Walid to the marzbans of Persia: Peace be upon those who follow guidance. To proceed: I praise Allah, besides whom there is no deity, with the praise He deserves, who has cut off your sacred precincts, dispersed your unity, weakened your might, and stripped away your kingdom. When this letter of mine reaches you, accept from me the covenant of protection, pay the jizyah, and send hostages to me. Otherwise, by Him besides whom there is no deity, I will fight you with a people who love death as you love life. Peace be upon those who follow guidance.

✧ A casket was brought to Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ. Most of his companions examined it but did not recognize its value. He said, 'Do you permit me to send it to Aisha ؓ, because of the love the Messenger of God ﷺ had for her?' They said, 'Yes.' It was brought to Aisha ؓ and she opened it. It was said, 'This is what Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ sent to you.' She said ؓ, 'What has Ibn al-Khattab opened for me after the Messenger of God ﷺ? O God, do not keep me alive for next year's gift.'

خَرَجَ جَيْشٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَنَا أَمِيرُهُمْ، حَتَّى نَزَلْنَا الْإِسْكَنْدَرِيَّةَ، فَقَالَ عَظِيمٌ مِنْ عُظَمَائِهِمْ: أَخْرِجُوا إِلَيَّ رَجُلًا أُكَلِّمُهُ وَيُكَلِّمُنِي، فَقُلْتُ: لَا يَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ غَيْرِي، فَخَرَجْتُ مَعِي بِتُرْجُمَانٍ، وَمَعَهُ تُرْجُمَانُهُ، حَتَّى وُضِعَ لَنَا مِنْبَرَانِ. فَقَالَ: مَا أَنْتُمْ ؟ قُلْنَا: نَحْنُ الْعَرَبُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّوْكِ وَالْقَرَظِ، وَنَحْنُ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، كُنَّا أَضْيَقَ النَّاسِ أَرْضًا، وَشَرَّهُ عَيْشًا، نَأْكُلُ الْمَيْتَةَ وَالدَّمَ، وَيُغِيرُ بَعْضُنَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ، كُنَّا بِشَرِّ عَيْشٍ عَاشَ بِهِ النَّاسُ، حَتَّى خَرَجَ فِينَا رَجُلٌ لَيْسَ بِأَعْظَمِنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ شَرَفًا، وَلَا أَكْثَرِنَا مَالًا، قَالَ: أَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ إِلَيْكُمْ، يَأْمُرُنَا بِمَا لَا نَعْرِفُ، وَيَنْهَانَا عَمَّا كُنَّا عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ آبَاؤُنَا، فَشَنَّعْنَا بِهِ، وَكَذَّبْنَا، وَرَدَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ مَقَالَتَهُ، حَتَّى خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ قَوْمٌ مِنْ غَيْرِنَا، فَقَالُوا: نَحْنُ نُصَدِّقُكَ، وَنُؤْمِنُ بِكَ، وَنَتَّبِعُكَ، وَنُقَاتِلُ مَنْ قَاتَلَكَ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ، وَخَرَجْنَا إِلَيْهِ، وَقَاتَلَنَا وَقَاتَلْنَاهُ، فَقَتَلَنَا، وَظَهَرَ عَلَيْنَا وَغَلَبَنَا، وَتَنَاوَلَ مَنْ يَلِيهِ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ، فَقَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى ظَهَرَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَلَوْ يَعْلَمُ مَنْ وَرَائِي مِنَ الْعَرَبِ مَا أَنْتُمْ فِيهِ مِنَ الْعَيْشِ لَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا جَاءَكُمْ حَتَّى يَشْرَكَكُمْ فِيمَا أَنْتُمْ فِيهِ مِنَ الْعَيْشِ، فَضَحِكَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمْ قَدْ صَدَقَ، وَقَدْ جَاءَتْنَا رُسُلُنَا بِمِثْلِ الَّذِي جَاءَ بِهِ رَسُولُكُمْ، وَكُنَّا عَلَيْهِ، حَتَّى ظَهَرَتْ فِينَا مُلُوكٌ، فَجَعَلُوا يَعْمَلُونَ فِينَا بِأَهْوَائِهِمْ، وَيَتْرُكُونَ أَمْرَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ، فَإِنْ أَنْتُمْ أَخَذْتُمْ بِأَمْرِ نَبِيِّكُمْ لَمْ يُقَاتِلْكُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا غَلَبْتُمُوهُ، وَلَمْ يُشَارِفْكُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا ظَهَرْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ، فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُمْ مِثْلَ الَّذِي فَعَلْنَا، فَتَرَكْتُمْ أَمْرَ نَبِيِّكُمْ، وَعَمِلْتُمْ مِثْلَ الَّذِي عَمِلُوا بِأَهْوَائِهِمْ، فَخُلِّيَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ، لَمْ تَكُونُوا أَكْثَرَ عَدَدًا مِنَّا، وَلَا أَشَدَّ قُوَّةً مِنَّا، قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ ؓ: فَمَا كَلَّمْتُ رَجُلًا قَطُّ أَمْكَرَ مِنْهُ
✧ An army of the Muslims went out with me as their commander until we encamped at Alexandria. A great man among their great ones said, 'Bring out to me a man whom I may speak with and who may speak with me.' I said, 'None shall go out to him except me.' So I went out with an interpreter, and he had his interpreter, until two pulpits were set up for us. He said, 'What are you?' We said, 'We are Arabs, people of thorns and acacia, and we are the people of the House of God, Mighty and Majestic. We were the narrowest of people in land and the worst in livelihood. We ate carrion and blood, and raided one another. We lived the worst life people ever lived, until a man emerged among us who was not the greatest of us that day in nobility, nor the wealthiest. He said, "I am the Messenger of God to you." He commanded us what we did not know and forbade us what we and our fathers had been upon. We reviled him, disbelieved him, and rejected his statement, until a people other than us went out to him and said, "We believe you, we have faith in you, we follow you, and we will fight whoever fights you." He went out to them and we went out against him. He fought us and we fought him. He killed us, prevailed over us, and overcame us. Then he turned to the Arabs near him and fought them until he prevailed over them. If those behind me of the Arabs knew what you are in of life, not one would remain except he would come to you and share with you in what you have of life.' He laughed, then said, 'Your messenger has spoken the truth. Our messengers came to us with the like of what your Messenger brought, and we were upon it, until kings appeared among us. They acted among us according to their whims and abandoned the command of the prophets. If you take up the command of your Prophet, no one will fight you except you will overcome him, and no one will oppose you except you will prevail over him. But if you do like what we did, abandon the command of your Prophet, and act like they did according to their whims, then we and you will be left alone; you will not be more numerous than us, nor stronger than us.' Amr b. al-As ؓ said, 'I have never spoken to a man more cunning than him.'

يَا عُثْمَانُ، أَفْطِرْ عِنْدَنَا اللَّيْلَةَ. قَالَ أَبِي: فَحَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ، فَأَخَذَ بِلِحْيَتِهِ، فَقَالَ ؓ: لَقَدْ أَخَذْتَ مِنِّي مَأْخَذًا، أَوْ قَعَدْتَ مِنِّي مَقْعَدًا - مَا كَانَ أَبُوكَ لِيَقْعُدَهُ - أَوْ قَالَ: لِيَأْخُذَهُ - فَخَرَجَ وَتَرَكَهُ، وَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ ؓ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ: الْمَوْتُ الْأَسْوَدُ، فَخَنَقَهُ، ثُمَّ خَنَقَهُ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ، فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ لَقَدْ خَنَقْتُهُ، فَمَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا قَطُّ أَلْيَنَ مِنْ حَلْقِهِ، حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ نَفَسَهُ يَتَرَدَّدُ فِي جَسَدِهِ كَنَفَسِ الْجَانِّ، قَالَ: فَخَرَجَ وَتَرَكَهُ. قَالَ: وَفِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ؓ: وَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ كِتَابُ اللهِ، فَخَرَجَ وَتَرَكَهُ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ آخَرُ، فَقَالَ: بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ كِتَابُ اللهِ تَعَالَى، وَالْمُصْحَفُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَأَهْوَى بِالسَّيْفِ، فَاتَّقَاهُ عُثْمَانُ ؓ بِيَدِهِ فَقَطَعَهَا، فَمَا أَدْرِي أَبَانَهَا، أَمْ قَطَعَهَا، وَلَمْ يُبِنْهَا، قَالَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ: أَمَا وَاللهِ إِنَّهَا لَأَوَّلُ كَفٍّ خَطَّتِ الْمُفَصَّلَ. قَالَ: وَقَالَ فِي غَيْرِ حَدِيثِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ؓ: فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ التُّجِيبِيُّ، فَأَشْعَرَهُ مِشْقَصًا، فَانْتَضَحَ الدَّمُ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ: فَسَيَكْفِيكَهُمُ اللهُ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ قَالَ: فَإِنَّهَا فِي الْمُصْحَفِ مَا حُكَّتْ بَعْدُ، قَالَ: وَأَخَذَتْ بِنْتُ الْفُرَافِصَةِ ؓ حُلِيَّهَا فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ؓ، فَوَضَعَتْهُ فِي حَجْرِهَا، وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْتَلَ ؓ، فَلَمَّا أُشْعِرَ - أَوْ قُتِلَ - تَفَاجَّتْ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: قَاتَلَهَا اللهُ مَا أَعْظَمَ عَجِيزَتَهَا ! فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ؓ: فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّ أَعْدَاءَ اللهِ لَمْ يُرِيدُوا إِلَّا الدُّنْيَا. قُلْتُ: رِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ، سَمِعَ بَعْضُهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ.
✧ O Uthman, break your fast with us tonight. My father said: Al-Hasan narrated to me that Muhammad b. Abi Bakr ؓ entered upon him and took hold of his beard. He [Uthman] said ؓ, 'You have seized me with a grip, or sat with me in a seat, that your father would never have sat in' – or he said, 'taken' – then he left and abandoned him. Then a man called 'Black Death' entered upon him ؓ and strangled him, then strangled him again, then left and said, 'By God, I strangled him and I have never seen anything softer than his throat, until I saw his breath reverberating in his body like the breath of a jinn.' He said: Then he left and abandoned him. He said: In the hadith of Abu Sa'id ؓ: A man entered upon him and said, 'Between me and you is the Book of God,' then he left and abandoned him. Then another entered and said, 'Between me and you is the Book of God, Exalted is He,' while the mushaf was in front of him. He struck with a sword, and Uthman ؓ shielded himself with his hand, and it cut it. I do not know whether he severed it fully or cut it without severing. Uthman ؓ said, 'By God, it is the first hand that wrote down the Mufassal.' He said: And in other than the hadith of Abu Sa'id ؓ: Then al-Tujibi entered upon him and struck him with a barbed arrow, and the blood spurted onto this verse: 'God will suffice you against them, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.' He said: Indeed it is in the mushaf and has not been erased since. He said: And the daughter of al-Furafisa ؓ took her jewelry in the hadith of Abu Sa'id ؓ and placed it in her lap, and that was before he was killed ؓ. When he was struck – or killed – she spread her legs over him. Some of them said, 'May God fight her, how large her buttocks are!' Abu Sa'id ؓ said, 'Then I knew that the enemies of God wanted nothing but this world.' I say: Its narrators are trustworthy, hearing from one another.

They would say, 'By God, we do not intend to kill him.' Then he would leave, leaning on my arm, saying, 'By God, they will surely kill him.' Then he said to them, 'Do not kill him, for by God he will die within forty days.' But they refused.

✧ The angels have not ceased surrounding this city of yours since the Messenger of God ﷺ came to it until today. By God, if you kill him, they will depart and never return to you. And the sword has not ceased to be sheathed among you. By God, if you kill him, God will unsheathe it upon you, and it will never be sheathed from you again – or he said, 'until the Day of Resurrection.' No prophet has been killed except that seventy thousand were killed for him, and no caliph has been killed except that thirty-five thousand were killed for him. And he mentioned that seventy thousand were killed for the blood of Yahya b. Zakariyya.

When the people stirred up against Uthman ؓ, Abdullah b. Salam ؓ said to them, 'Do not kill him; seek his repentance. By the One in whose hand is my soul, no nation has killed its prophet and then God set their affairs right until they shed the blood of seventy thousand, and no nation has killed a caliph and then God set their affairs right until they shed the blood of forty thousand. No nation has ever perished except after they raised the Quran against the ruler.' Then he said to them, 'Do not kill him; seek his repentance.' He said: But they did not consider what he said and killed him. He said: Then he sat on the road of Ali b. Abi Talib ؓ until Ali ؓ came to him. He said to him, 'Where do you intend to go?' He said, 'Iraq.' He said, 'Do not go to Iraq. Keep to the pulpit of the Messenger of God ﷺ and adhere to it. I do not know whether it will save you. By God, if you leave it, you will never see it again.' Those around him said, 'Let us kill him.' Ali ؓ said, 'Abdullah b. Salam is a righteous man among us.' Ibn Mughaffal said: I had asked Ibn Salam for permission regarding a piece of land next to his land to buy it. He said to me afterwards, 'This is the beginning of forty years, and after it there will be peace, so buy it.'

✧ When Uthman ؓ was besieged, he remained fasting that day. When it was time to break the fast, he asked them for fresh water. They said, 'You have this well,' and behold, it was a well into which filth was thrown. So he spent that night in his state without eating. When it was near dawn, I came to a neighbor woman of ours over connected rooftops and asked them for fresh water. I brought him a jug of water. When I descended, he ؓ was sleeping at the bottom of the stair, snoring. I woke him and said, 'This is fresh water I have brought you.' He ؓ raised his head, looked at the dawn, and said, 'I am fasting; I have entered the morning fasting.' I said, 'From what? I have not seen anyone bring you food or drink.' He said, 'The Messenger of God ﷺ looked down upon me from this roof with a bucket of water and said, "Drink, O Uthman." I drank and was quenched. Then he said, "Drink more." I drank until I was full. Then he ﷺ said, "The people will disapprove of you. If you leave them, you will break your fast with us."' She said: Then they entered upon him that very day and killed him ؓ.

الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ؓ قَالَ: لَا أُقَاتِلُ بَعْدَ رُؤْيَا رَأَيْتُهَا، رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَاضِعًا يَدَهُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ، وَرَأَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ وَاضِعًا يَدَهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، وَرَأَيْتُ عُمَرَ ؓ وَاضِعًا يَدَهُ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ، وَرَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ ؓ وَاضِعًا يَدَهُ عَلَى عُمَرَ ؓ، وَرَأَيْتُ دَمًا بَيْنَهُمْ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا هَذَا الدَّمُ ؟ قِيلَ: دَمُ عُثْمَانَ ؓ، يَطْلُبُ اللهَ تَعَالَى بِهِ
✧ Al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī ؓ said: 'I will not fight after a dream I saw. I saw the Messenger of God ﷺ placing his hand on the Throne, and I saw Abū Bakr ؓ placing his hand on the Prophet ﷺ, and I saw ʿUmar ؓ placing his hand on Abū Bakr ؓ, and I saw ʿUthmān ؓ placing his hand on ʿUmar ؓ, and I saw blood between them. I said: "What is this blood?" It was said: "The blood of ʿUthmān ؓ, for which he is seeking God Almighty."'

إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ ثُمَامَةُ، كَانَ عَلَى صَنْعَاءَ، فَلَمَّا قُتِلَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ خَطَبَ، فَبَكَى بُكَاءً شَدِيدًا، فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ قَالَ: الْيَوْمَ انْتُزِعَتْ خِلَافَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ مِنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ، وَصَارَتْ مُلْكًا وَجَبْرِيَّةً، مَنْ غَلَبَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ أَكَلَهُ
✧ A man from Quraysh called Thumāmah was over Ṣanʿāʾ. When ʿUthmān ؓ was killed, he delivered a sermon and wept intensely. When he recovered, he said: 'Today the caliphate of prophethood has been wrested from the community of Muḥammad ﷺ and has become kingship and compulsion. Whoever seizes something consumes it.'

✧ He witnessed the killing of Uthman and said: I was then a boy of fourteen. He said: Safiyyah ordered us to saddle a mule with a howdah, so we saddled it, then walked around it to the gate. There was al-Ashtar with some people. Al-Ashtar said to her, "Go back to your house," but she refused. He raised a short spear or a lance and struck the mule's rump, so the mule steadied while the howdah tilted until it almost fell. When she saw that, she said, "Take me back, take me back!" He said: Four men of Quraysh had come out of the house, wounded and being carried; they had been defending Uthman. He mentioned al-Hasan b. Ali, Abdullah b. al-Zubayr, Ibn Khatib, and Marwan b. al-Hakam. I said: Did Muhammad b. Abi Bakr get stained with any of his blood? He said: God forbid! He entered upon him, and Uthman said to him, "I am not your man," and spoke to him some words, then he left without having touched any of his blood. I said: Then who killed him? He said: A man from Egypt called Jabalah. He kept saying, "I am the killer of Na'thal." I said: Where was Uthman then? He said: In the house.

I hope that I and Uthman ؓ are among those about whom Allah, Exalted is He, said: "And We shall remove whatever rancor is in their breasts..." [Quran 7:43].

مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ، وَلَقَدْ تَرَكَنِي وَهُوَ ﷺ يَرَى مَكَانِي، وَلَوْ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ شَيْئًا لَقُمْتُ بِهِ، حَتَّى عَارَضَتْ فِي ذَلِكَ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ رَجُلٌ رَقِيقٌ إِذَا قَامَ مَقَامَكَ لَمْ يُسْمِعِ النَّاسَ، فَلَوْ أَمَرْتَ عُمَرَ ؓ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ، فَقَالَ ﷺ: إِنَّكُنَّ صَوَاحِبُ يُوسُفَ، فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَظَرَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فِي أَمْرِهِمْ، فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ وَلَّى أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ أَمْرَ دِينِهِمْ، فَوَلَّوْهُ أَمْرَ دُنْيَاهُمْ، فَبَايَعَهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ، وَبَايَعْتُهُ مَعَهُمْ، فَكُنْتُ أَغْزُو إِذَا أَغْزَانِي وَآخُذُ إِذَا أَعْطَانِي، وَكُنْتُ سَوْطًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ؓ فِي إِقَامَةِ الْحُدُودِ، فَلَوْ كَانَ مُحَابَاةً عِنْدَ حُضُورِ مَوْتِهِ ؓ لَجَعَلَهَا فِي وَلَدِهِ، فَأَشَارَ بِعُمَرَ ؓ، وَلَمْ يَأْلُ، فَبَايَعَهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ، وَبَايَعْتُهُ مَعَهُمْ، وَكُنْتُ أَغْزُو إِذَا أَغْزَانِي وَآخُذُ إِذَا أَعْطَانِي، وَكُنْتُ سَوْطًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ؓ فِي إِقَامَةِ الْحُدُودِ، فَلَوْ كَانَتْ مُحَابَاةً عِنْدَ حُضُورِ مَوْتِهِ ؓ لَجَعَلَهَا فِي وَلَدِهِ، وَكَرِهَ أَنْ يَتَخَيَّرَ مِنْ مَعْشَرِ قُرَيْشٍ رَجُلًا، فَيُوَلِّيهِ أَمْرَ الْأُمَّةِ، فَلَا يَكُونُ فِيهِ إِسَاءَةٌ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِلَّا لَحِقَتْ عُمَرَ ؓ فِي قَبْرِهِ، فَاخْتَارَ مِنَّا سِتَّةً. أَنَا فِيهِمْ، لِنَخْتَارَ لِلْأُمَّةِ رَجُلًا، فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعْنَا وَثَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ؓ، فَوَهَبَ لَنَا نَصِيبَهُ مِنْهَا عَلَى أَنْ نُعْطِيَهُ مَوَاثِيقًا عَلَى أَنْ يَخْتَارَ مِنَ الْخَمْسَةِ رَجُلًا فَيُوَلِّيَهُ أَمْرَ الْأُمَّةِ، فَأَعْطَيْنَاهُ مَوَاثِيقَنَا، فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ عُثْمَانَ ؓ فَبَايَعَهُ، وَلَقَدْ عَرَضَ فِي نَفْسِي عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ، فَلَمَّا نَظَرْتُ فِي أَمْرِي، فَإِذَا عَهْدِي قَدْ سَبَقَ بَيْعَتِي، فَبَايَعْتُ وَسَلَّمْتُ، وَكُنْتُ أَغْزُو إِذَا أَغْزَانِي وَآخُذُ إِذَا أَعْطَانِي، وَكُنْتُ سَوْطًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ؓ فِي إِقَامَةِ الْحُدُودِ، فَلَمَّا قُتِلَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ نَظَرْتُ فِي أَمْرِي، فَإِذَا الْمَوْثِقَةُ الَّتِي كَانَتْ فِي عُنُقِي لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ؓ قَدِ انْجَلَتْ، وَإِذَا الْعَهْدُ لِعُثْمَانَ ؓ قَدْ وَفَّيْتُ بِهِ، وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ عِنْدِي دَعْوَى، وَلَا طَلِبَةٌ، فَوَثَبَ فِيهَا مَنْ لَيْسَ مِثْلِي، ( يَعْنِي: مُعَاوِيَةَ ؓ ) لَا قَرَابَتُهُ قَرَابَتِي، وَلَا عِلْمُهُ كَعِلْمِي، وَلَا سَابِقَتُهُ كَسَابِقَتِي، وَكُنْتُ أَحَقَّ بِهَا مِنْهُ، قَالَا: صَدَقْتَ، فَأَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ قِتَالِكَ هَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ، ( يَعْنِيَانِ: طَلْحَةَ وَالزُّبَيْرَ ؓ ) صَاحِبَاكَ فِي الْهِجْرَةِ، وَصَاحِبَاكَ فِي بَيْعَةِ الرِّضْوَانِ، وَصَاحِبَاكَ فِي الْمَشُورَةِ، فَقَالَ ؓ: بَايَعَانِي بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَخَالَفَانِي بِالْبَصْرَةِ، وَلَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِمَّنْ بَايَعَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ خَلَعَهُ لَقَاتَلْنَاهُ، وَلَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِمَّنْ بَايَعَ عُمَرَ ؓ خَلَعَهُ لَقَاتَلْنَاهُ.
✧ "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." And he ﷺ left me while seeing my place; had he entrusted me with anything, I would have carried it out, until one of his wives ﷺ objected, saying, "Abu Bakr ؓ is a tender-hearted man; if he stands in your place, the people will not hear him. If only you would order Umar ؓ to lead the people in prayer." The Prophet ﷺ said, "You are like the women of Joseph." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, the Muslims looked into their affair, and indeed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had entrusted Abu Bakr ؓ with the matter of their religion, so they entrusted him with the matter of their worldly affairs. The Muslims pledged allegiance to him, and I pledged allegiance with them. I would go on expeditions when he sent me, take when he gave me, and I was a whip before him ؓ in establishing the prescribed punishments. Had there been any favoritism at the time of his death ؓ, he would have put it in his own son, but he pointed to Umar ؓ, and he did not fail. The Muslims pledged allegiance to him, and I pledged allegiance with them. I would go on expeditions when he sent me, take when he gave me, and I was a whip before him ؓ in establishing the prescribed punishments. Had there been any favoritism at the time of his death ؓ, he would have put it in his own son. But he disliked choosing one man from the tribe of Quraysh and appointing him over the community's affair, for then any evil after him would attach to Umar ؓ in his grave. So he chose six from among us, I being one of them, to select a man for the community. When we gathered, Abd al-Rahman b. Awf ؓ jumped up and gave up his share in it on condition that we give him pledges that he would choose one of the five and appoint him over the community's affair. We gave him our pledges, and he took Uthman ؓ by the hand and gave him allegiance. Something came into my mind at that, but when I considered my affair, I found that my covenant had preceded my pledge, so I pledged and submitted. I would go on expeditions when he sent me, take when he gave me, and I was a whip before him ؓ in establishing the prescribed punishments. When Uthman ؓ was killed, I looked into my affair, and the pledge that had been on my neck for Abu Bakr and Umar ؓ was released, and the covenant to Uthman ؓ I had fulfilled. I am a man of the Muslims; no one has a claim or a demand against me. Then one who is not like me jumped into it—meaning Muawiyah ؓ—whose kinship is not my kinship, whose knowledge is not like my knowledge, and whose precedence is not like my precedence. I was more entitled to it than him. The two said: You have spoken truth. Tell us about your fighting these two men—meaning Talhah and al-Zubayr ؓ—your companions in the Hijrah, your companions in the Pledge of Ridwan, and your companions in the consultative council. He ؓ said: They pledged allegiance to me in Madinah and opposed me in Basrah. If a man who pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr ؓ had deposed him, we would have fought him; and if a man who pledged allegiance to Umar ؓ had deposed him, we would have fought him.

خَرَجْنَا حُجَّاجًا، فَقَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ، فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ فِي مَنَازِلِنَا، نَضَعُ رِحَالَنَا، إِذْ أَتَانَا آتٍ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ فَزِعُوا وَقَدِ اجْتَمَعُوا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ - فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي مُنَاشَدَةِ عُثْمَانَ ؓ الصَّحَابَةَ وَإِقْرَارِهِمْ ؓ بِمَنَاقِبِهِ - قَالَ الْأَحْنَفُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ: وَلَقِيتُ طَلْحَةَ وَالزُّبَيْرَ ؓ، فَقُلْتُ: لَا أَرَى هَذَا إِلَّا مَقْتُولًا، فَمَنْ تَأْمُرَانِي أَنْ أُبَايِعَ ؟ قَالَا: عَلِيًّا ؓ، فَقُلْتُ: أَتَأْمُرَانِي بِذَلِكَ وَتَرْضَيَانِهِ لِي ؟ فَقَالَا: نَعَمْ، فَخَرَجْتُ حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ مَكَّةَ، فَأَنَا لَكَذَلِكَ إِذْ قِيلَ: قُتِلَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ ؓ، وَبِهَا عَائِشَةُ أُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؓ، فَأَتَيْتُهَا، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: أَنْشُدُكِ اللهَ مَنْ تَأْمُرِينِي أَنْ أُبَايِعَ ؟ قَالَتْ ؓ: عَلِيًّا، فَقُلْتُ: أَتَأْمُرِينِي بِذَلِكَ وَتَرْضَيْنَهُ لِي ؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَرَجَعْتُ، فَقَدِمْتُ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ ؓ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَبَايَعْتُهُ، ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِي بِالْبَصْرَةِ، وَلَا أَرَى إِلَّا أَنَّ الْأَمْرَ قَدِ اسْتَقَامَ، فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَتَانَا آتٍ، فَقَالَ: هَذِهِ عَائِشَةُ أُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَطَلْحَةُ، وَالزُّبَيْرُ ؓ قَدْ نَزَلُوا جَانِبَ الْخُرَيْبَةِ، فَقُلْتُ: فَمَا جَاءَ بِهِمْ ؟ قَالُوا: أَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْكَ يَسْتَنْصِرُونَ عَلَى دَمِ عُثْمَانَ ؓ قُتِلَ مَظْلُومًا، فَأَتَانِي أَفْظَعُ أَمْرٍ أَتَانِي قَطُّ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ خِذْلَانِي قَوْمًا مَعَهُمْ أُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَحَوَارِيُّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَشَدِيدٌ، وَإِنَّ قِتَالِي رَجُلًا ابْنَ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرُونِي بِبَيْعَتِهِ لَشَدِيدٌ، فَلَمَّا أَتَيْتُهُمْ، قُلْتُ لَهُمْ: مَا جَاءَ بِكُمْ ؟ فَقَالُوا: جِئْنَا نَسْتَنْصِرُ عَلَى دَمِ عُثْمَانَ ؓ، قُتِلَ مَظْلُومًا، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أَنْشُدُكِ اللهَ ! أَقُلْتُ لَكِ: بِمَنْ تَأْمُرِينِي ؟ فَقُلْتِ: عَلِيًّا، فَقُلْتُ: أَتَأْمُرِينِي بِهِ وَتَرْضَيْنَهُ لِي ؟ فَقُلْتِ: نَعَمْ ؟ فَقَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، فَقُلْتُ لِلزُّبَيْرِ ؓ: يَا حَوَارِيَّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَيَا طَلْحَةُ، أَنْشُدُكُمَا بِاللهِ أَقُلْتُ لَكُمَا: مَنْ تَأْمُرَانِي أَنْ أُبَايِعَ ؟ فَقُلْتُمَا: لِعَلِيٍّ، فَقُلْتُ: أَتَأْمُرَانِي بِهِ وَتَرْضَيَانِهِ لِي ؟ فَقُلْتُمَا: نَعَمْ ؟ فَقَالَا: نَعَمْ، فَقُلْتُ: وَاللهِ لَا أُقَاتِلُكُمْ وَمَعَكُمْ أُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَحَوَارِيُّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَاللهِ لَا أُقَاتِلُ ابْنَ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلًا أَمَرْتُمُونِي بِبَيْعَتِهِ، اخْتَارُوا مِنِّي إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ: إِمَّا أَنْ تَفْتَحُوا لِي بَابَ الْجِسْرِ، فَأَلْحَقَ بِأَرْضِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، ( يَعْنِي بِأَرْضِ الْعَجَمِ ) حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ اللهُ فِي أَمْرِهِ مَا قَضَى، أَوْ أَلْحَقَ بِمَكَّةَ، أَوْ أَعْتَزِلَ فَأَكُونَ قَرِيبًا مِنْكُمْ، لَا مَعَكُمْ وَلَا عَلَيْكُمْ، فَقَالُوا: نَأْتَمِرُ، ثُمَّ نُرْسِلُ إِلَيْكَ، قَالَ: فَأْتَمَرُوا، فَقَالُوا: أَمَّا أَنْ يُفْتَحَ لَهُ بَابُ الْجِسْرِ فَيَلْحَقَ بِأَرْضِ الْأَعَاجِمِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِيهِ الْمُفَارِقُ وَالْخَاذِلُ، وَأَمَّا أَنْ يَلْحَقَ بِمَكَّةَ، لَيَتَعَجَّبَنَّكُمْ فِي قُرَيْشٍ، وَيُخْبِرُهُمْ بِأَخْبَارِكُمْ، لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ بِأَمْرٍ، وَلَكِنِ اجْعَلُوهُ قَرِيبًا هَا هُنَا، حَيْثُ تَطَؤُونَ عَلَى صِمَاخِهِ، فَاعْتَزَلَ بِالْجَلْحَاءِ مِنَ الْبَصْرَةِ عَلَى فَرْسَخَيْنِ، فَاعْتَزَلَ مَعَهُ نَاسٌ زُهَاءَ سِتَّةِ آلَافٍ، ثُمَّ الْتَقَى النَّاسُ، فَكَانَ أَوَّلُ قَتِيلٍ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ ؓ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ كَعْبُ بْنُ سُورٍ يَقْرَأُ الْمُصْحَفَ، وَيَذْكُرُ هَؤُلَاءِ وَهَؤُلَاءِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ كَعْبٌ، وَقُتِلَ مَنْ قُتِلَ مِنْهُمْ، وَبَلَغَ الزُّبَيْرُ ؓ سَفَوَانَ مِنَ الْبَصْرَةِ بِمَكَانِ الْقَادِسِيَّةِ مِنْكُمْ، قَالَ: فَلَقِيَهُ النَّعِرُ، رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي مُجَاشِعٍ، فَقَالَ: أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ يَا حَوَارِيَّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، إِلَيَّ، فَأَنْتَ فِي ذِمَّتِي، لَا يُوصَلُ إِلَيْكَ فَأَقْبَلَ مَعَهُ، قَالَ: فَأَتَى إِنْسَانٌ الْأَحْنَفَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ ؓ، فَقَالَ: هَا هُوَ ذَا الزُّبَيْرُ قَدْ لَقِيَ سَفَوَانَ، قَالَ: فَمَا يَأْمَنُ ؟ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّى ضَرَبَ بَعْضُهُمْ حَوَاجِبَ بَعْضٍ بِالسَّيْفِ، ثُمَّ لَحِقَ بِبَنِيهِ وَأَهْلِهِ، قَالَ: فَسَمِعَهُ عُوَيْمِرُ بْنُ جُرْمُوزٍ، وَفَضَالَةُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ، وَنُفَيْعٌ، فَرَكِبُوا فِي طَلَبِهِ، فَلَقُوهُ مَعَ النَّعِرِ
✧ We set out as pilgrims and arrived in Madinah. While we were in our lodgings, putting down our saddles, a messenger came and said: "The people are alarmed and have gathered in the mosque." We went to the mosque—and he mentioned the hadith about Uthman ؓ adjuring the Companions and their acknowledgment ؓ of his virtues. Al-Ahnaf b. Qays said: I met Talhah and al-Zubayr ؓ and said: "I think this man will be killed. Whom do you command me to pledge allegiance to?" They said: "Ali ؓ." I said: "Do you command me to do that and approve it for me?" They said: "Yes." I left and went to Makkah. While I was there, it was announced that Uthman b. Affan ؓ had been killed, and Aishah, Mother of the Believers ؓ, was in Makkah. I went to her and said: "I adjure you by Allah, whom do you command me to pledge allegiance to?" She ؓ said: "Ali." I said: "Do you command me to do that and approve it for me?" She said: "Yes." He said: I returned and went to Ali ؓ in Madinah and pledged allegiance to him. Then I returned to my people in Basrah, thinking that the matter had become settled. While we were thus, a messenger came and said: "Aishah, Mother of the Believers, Talhah, and al-Zubayr ؓ have encamped near al-Khuraybah." I said: "What brought them?" They said: "They sent to you seeking support for the blood of Uthman ؓ, who was killed unjustly." The most dreadful thing ever came to me. I said: "Abandoning a people with whom are the Mother of the Believers and the disciple of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is hard, and fighting a man, the cousin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, whom they commanded me to pledge allegiance to, is hard." When I came to them, I said: "What brought you?" They said: "We have come seeking support for the blood of Uthman ؓ, who was killed unjustly." I said: "O Mother of the Believers, I adjure you by Allah! Did I say to you: 'Whom do you command me?' and you said: 'Ali,' and I said: 'Do you command me to pledge allegiance to him and approve it for me?' and you said: 'Yes'?" She said: "Yes." I said to al-Zubayr ؓ: "O disciple of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and O Talhah, I adjure you both by Allah! Did I say to you both: 'Whom do you command me to pledge allegiance to?' and you said: 'Ali,' and I said: 'Do you command me to pledge allegiance to him and approve it for me?' and you said: 'Yes'?" They said: "Yes." I said: "By Allah, I will not fight you while the Mother of the Believers and the disciple of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ are with you. By Allah, I will not fight the cousin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a man you commanded me to pledge allegiance to. Choose from me one of three options: either open the gate of the bridge for me so I can join such-and-such land—meaning the land of the Persians—until Allah decides His matter as He wills; or I join Makkah; or I withdraw and be near you, not with you nor against you." They said: "We will consult and then send to you." He said: They consulted and said: "As for opening the gate of the bridge for him so he joins the land of the Persians, the deserters and abandoners will join him. As for joining Makkah, he will amaze you among Quraysh and tell them your news; that is not good for you. But make him near here, where you trample on his ear." So he withdrew to al-Jalha, two farsakhs from Basrah, and about six thousand people withdrew with him. Then the people met in battle, and the first to be killed was Talhah b. Ubayd Allah ؓ. He said: Ka'b b. Sur was reading the Mushaf and reminding these and those until Ka'b was killed, and whoever was killed among them was killed. Al-Zubayr ؓ reached Safwan from Basrah, at the place of al-Qadisiyyah from you. He said: Al-Na'ir, a man of Banu Mujashi', met him and said: "Where are you going, O disciple of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? Come to me, you are under my protection; no one will reach you." So he went with him. He said: A person came to al-Ahnaf b. Qays ؓ and said: "There is al-Zubayr; he has reached Safwan." He said: "What is he safe from? He gathered the Muslims until they struck each other's brows with swords, then joined his sons and family." He said: Uwaymir b. Jurmuz, Fadalah b. Habis, and Nufay' heard him, so they rode in pursuit and met him with al-Na'ir.

أَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ، وَأَنَا حَاجٌّ.... فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ نَحْوَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ. قَالَ: فَسَمِعَهُ غُوَاةٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ مِنْهُمُ ابْنُ جُرْمُوزٍ، وَفَضَالَةُ، وَنُفَيْعٌ فَانْطَلَقُوا فِي طَلَبِهِ، فَلَقَوْهُ مُقْبِلًا مَعَ النَّعْرِ، فَأَتَاهُ عُمَيْرُ بْنُ جُرْمُوزٍ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ، فَطَعَنَهُ طَعْنَةً ضَعِيفَةً، وَهُوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لَهُ ضَعِيفٍ، فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِ الزُّبَيْرُ ؓ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ: ذُو الْخِمَارِ، فَلَمَّا ظَنَّ ابْنُ جُرْمُوزٍ أَنَّ الزُّبَيْرَ ؓ قَاتِلُهُ، نَادَى فَضَالَةَ وَنُفَيْعًا، فَحَمَلَا عَلَى الزُّبَيْرِ ؓ فَقَتَلَاهُ
✧ I came to Madinah while I was performing Hajj... He mentioned the hadith similar to what has preceded. He said: Some foolish people among the people heard him, among them Ibn Jurmuz, Fadalah, and Nufay'. They set out seeking him, and they met him coming with the cattle. 'Umayr b. Jurmuz came at him from behind and stabbed him with a weak stab, while he was on a weak horse of his. Al-Zubayr ؓ charged at him on a horse of his called Dhu al-Khimar. When Ibn Jurmuz thought that al-Zubayr ؓ would kill him, he called out to Fadalah and Nufay', and they charged at al-Zubayr ؓ and killed him.

إِنَّ عَاتِكَةَ امْرَأَةَ عُمَرَ قَالَتْ: غَدَرَ ابْنُ جُرْمُوزٍ بِفَارِسِ بُهْمَةٍ يَوْمَ اللِّقَاءِ وَكَانَ غَيْرَ مُعَرَّدِ يَا عَمْرُو، لَوْ نَبَّهْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَهُ، لَا طَائِشًا رَعْشَ الْيَدَيْنِ وَلَا الْيَدِ شُلَّتْ يَمِينُكَ إِنْ قَتَلْتَ لَمُؤْمِنًا حَلَّتْ عَلَيْكَ عُقُوبَةُ الْمُتَعَمِّدِ
✧ Indeed 'Atikah, the wife of 'Umar, said: Ibn Jurmuz betrayed a stalwart horseman on the day of the encounter, and he was not one to flee. O 'Amr, had you alerted him, you would have found him, not one unsteady with trembling hands, nor one to lose his grip. May your right hand be paralyzed if you killed a believer; upon you has fallen the punishment of the deliberate killer.

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجَمَلِ وَاصْطَفُّوا، دَعَا عَلِيٌّ ؓ الزُّبَيْرَ ؓ فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ: أَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ تَعَالَى أَمَا تَذْكُرُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: لَتُقَاتِلَنَّهُ وَأَنْتَ ظَالِمٌ لَهُ ؟ قَالَ ؓ: اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ، فَمَا ذَكَرْتُهُ قَبْلَ مَقَامِي هَذَا، فَانْطَلَقَ رَاجِعًا، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ صَاحِبُهُ تَبِعَهُ، يَعْنِي: طَلْحَةَ ؓ فَرَمَاهُ مَرْوَانُ بِسَهْمٍ، فَشَدَّ فَخِذَهُ بِحَدِيدِ السَّرْجِ
✧ When the Day of the Camel came and they lined up, 'Ali ؓ called al-Zubayr ؓ, and he came to him. He said: I adjure you by Allah the Exalted, do you not remember that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'You will indeed fight him while you are an oppressor to him'? He ؓ said: O Allah, yes; I did not remember it before this standing of mine. So he turned back. When his companion saw him, he followed him—meaning Talhah ؓ—and Marwan shot him with an arrow, and it pierced his thigh to the iron of the saddle.

He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'I order you to fight.' So he went out and fought. When the battle began, Amr ؓ started reciting: 'The war blazed, and I prepared for it a horse with a high withers, well-watered in the back, connecting charge with charge, and when the horses leapt from the charge, they stirred. A sturdy one, whose chest cavity was broad, and when it leapt from the water, it splashed.' And Amr ؓ also said: 'If Jamal had witnessed my stand and my presence at Siffin, a day when its forelocks turned gray, the evening the people of Iraq came like spring clouds raised by the winds, and we came to them in ranks, as if our swords were a tide from the sea with waves piling up. When I said they had fled swiftly, battalions of them appeared to us, and battalions swayed. Our mill turned and their mill turned through the height of the day, until the shoulders turned away. They said to us: We think you should pledge allegiance to Ali. We said: Rather we think we should strike.'

I heard Ammar ؓ say: 'My close friend ﷺ made a covenant with me that the last of my provisions from this world would be a drink of milk mixed with water.' He said: 'While we were like that, dust rose and they said: "The people of Syria have come." The water carriers stood up to give water to the people. A slave girl came to him with a bowl of milk and handed it to Ammar ؓ. He drank it. Then Ammar ؓ handed the remainder to al-Ahnaf b. Qays ؓ. Then al-Ahnaf handed it to me. I said: 'If your companion is truthful, then it is fitting that he be killed now.' He said: 'The people surrounded us. Ammar ؓ advanced, and I heard him say: "Paradise is under the spears today. I meet the beloved ones, Muhammad and his party." Then that was the last we saw of him ؓ.

✧ I was with my master, meaning Ali b. Abi Talib ؓ, when he killed the people of al-Nahrawan, and it was as if the people had found something in themselves about his killing them. Ali ؓ said: O people, the Prophet ﷺ told me that people will go out of the religion as an arrow goes out of the game, then they will never return to it. Indeed, the sign of that is that among them is a black man with a deformed hand, one of his hands like a woman's breast, with a nipple like a woman's nipple. He said: I think he said: Around it are seven coarse hairs. So search for him, for I do not think he is other than one of them. They found him on the bank of the river, beneath the slain. He said: God and His Messenger have spoken the truth. Ali ؓ was carrying an Arab bow of his, poking with it at his exit. He said: The people rejoiced when they saw him, and they were glad, and what they had been feeling left them.

He said: I was in the Umrah and entered upon Aisha ؓ. She said: Who are these people who went out before you, called Harura'? She said: Did you witness their destruction? Indeed, Ali b. Abi Talib, if he wished, would tell you their story. When Ali ؓ finished what he was doing, he said: Where is the man? He related to him, and Ali ؓ proclaimed the talbiyah and said Allahu Akbar. Then he said: I entered upon the Messenger of God ﷺ when no one was with him but Aisha ؓ. The Prophet ﷺ said to him: How will you be, O son of Abi Talib, with a people of such-and-such? I said: God and His Messenger know best. He ﷺ said: A people who will come out from the direction of the east, reciting the Quran, but it will not go beyond their throats. They will go out of the religion as an arrow goes out of the game. Among them is a man with a deformed hand, as if his hand is the breast of an Abyssinian woman. He ؓ said: I adjure you by God, I told you that he is among them, and you said he is not among them. Then you brought him to me, dragging him? They said: O God, yes. He ؓ proclaimed the talbiyah and said Allahu Akbar.

أَتَيْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ وَهُوَ فِي مَسْجِدِ حَيِّهِ، فَاعْتَزَلْنَا فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقُلْتُ: أَلَا تُخْبِرُنِي عَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ قَتَلَهُمْ عَلِيٌّ ؓ، فِيمَ فَارَقُوهُ، وَفِيمَ اسْتَجَابُوا لَهُ حِينَ دَعَاهُمْ، وَحِينَ فَارَقُوهُ، فَاسْتَحَلَّ قِتَالَهُمْ ؟ قَالَ: لَمَّا كُنَّا بِصِفِّينَ اسْتَحَرَّ الْقَتْلُ فِي أَهْلِ الشَّامِ....... فَذَكَرَ قِصَّةً. قَالَ: فَرَجَعَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ، وَقَالَ فِيهِ الْخَوَارِجُ بِمَا قَالُوا، وَنَزَلُوا حَرُورَاءَ وَهُمْ بِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا، فَأَرْسَلَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ إِلَيْهِمْ، يُنَاشِدُهُمُ اللهَ تَعَالَى: ارْجِعُوا إِلَى خَلِيفَتِكُمْ، فِيمَ نَقَمْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ ؟ أَفِي قِسْمَةٍ أَوْ قَضَاءٍ ؟ قَالُوا: نَخَافُ أَنْ نَدْخُلَ فِي فِتْنَةٍ، قَالَ: فَلَا تَعْجَلُوا ضَلَالَةَ الْعَامِ مَخَافَةَ فِتْنَةِ عَامٍ قَابِلٍ، فَرَجَعُوا، فَقَالُوا: يَكُونُ عَلَى نَاحِيَتِنَا، فَإِنْ قَبِلَ الْقَضِيَّةَ قَاتَلْنَاهُ عَلَى مَا قَاتَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ أَهْلَ الشَّامِ بِصِفِّينَ، وَإِنْ نَقَضَهَا قَاتَلْنَا مَعَهُ، فَسَارُوا حَتَّى قَطَعُوا نَهَرَوَانَ، وَافْتَرَقَ مِنْهُمْ فِرْقَةٌ يَقْتُلُونَ النَّاسَ، فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُهُمْ: مَا عَلَى هَذَا فَارَقْنَا عَلِيًّا، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ عَلِيًّا ؓ صَنِيعُهُمْ قَامَ، فَقَالَ: أَتَسِيرُونَ إِلَى عَدُوِّكُمْ أَوْ تَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ خَلَّفُوكُمْ فِي دِيَارِكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا: بَلْ نَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ، قَالَ: فَحَدَّثَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: إِنَّ طَائِفَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ عِنْدَ اخْتِلَافٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ، لَا يَرَوْنَ جِهَادَكُمْ مَعَ جِهَادِهِمْ شَيْئًا، وَلَا صَلَاتَكُمْ مَعَ صَلَاتِهِمْ شَيْئًا، وَلَا صِيَامَكُمْ مَعَ صِيَامِهِمْ شَيْئًا، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ، عَلَامَتُهُمْ رَجُلٌ عَضُدُهُ كَثَدْيِ الْمَرْأَةِ، يَقْتُلُهُمْ أَقْرَبُ الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ ". فَسَارَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَاقْتَتَلُوهُ قِتَالًا شَدِيدًا، فَجَعَلَتْ خَيْلُ عَلِيٍّ ؓ تَقُومُ لَهُمْ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنْ كُنْتُمْ إِنَّمَا تُقَاتِلُونَهُمْ فِيَّ، فَوَاللهِ مَا عِنْدِي مَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِهِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ إِنَّمَا تُقَاتِلُونَ لِلهِ تَعَالَى، فَلَا يَكُونَنَّ هَذَا قِتَالُكُمْ، فَأَقْبَلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ، فَقَتَلُوهُمْ كُلَّهُمْ، فَقَالَ: ابْتَغُوهُ، فَطَلَبُوهُ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ، فَرَكِبَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ دَابَّتَهُ، وَانْتَهَى إِلَى وَهْدَةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ، فَإِذَا قَتْلَى، بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ، فَاسْتُخْرِجَ مِنْ تَحْتِهِمْ، فَجَرَّ بِرِجْلِهِ يَرَاهُ النَّاسُ، قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ: لَا أَغْزُو الْعَامَ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ، فَقُتِلَ. وَاسْتَخْلَفَ النَّاسُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ؓ، فَبَعَثَ الْحَسَنُ بِالْبَيْعَةِ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ ؓ، وَكَتَبَ بِذَلِكَ الْحَسَنُ إِلَى قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ؓ، فَقَامَ قَيْسُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، أَتَاكُمْ أَمْرَانِ، لَا بُدَّ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدِهِمَا: دُخُولٌ فِي فِتْنَةٍ، أَوْ قَتْلٌ مَعَ غَيْرِ إِمَامٍ، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: مَا هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ: الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَدْ أَعْطَى الْبَيْعَةَ مُعَاوِيَةَ، فَرَجَعَ النَّاسُ، فَبَايَعُوا مُعَاوِيَةَ ؓ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِمُعَاوِيَةَ هَمٌّ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ بِالنَّهْرَوَانِ، فَجَعَلُوا يَتَسَاقَطُونَ عَلَيْهِ فَيُبَايِعُونَهُ، حَتَّى بَقِيَ مِنْهُمْ ثَلَاثُمِائَةٍ وَنَيِّفٌ، وَهُمْ أَصْحَابُ النَّخِيلَةِ
✧ I came to Abu Wa'il while he was in the mosque of his tribe. We withdrew to a corner of the mosque. I said: Will you not tell me about these people whom Ali ؓ killed—why did they separate from him, and why did they respond to him when he called them, and when they separated from him, he deemed it lawful to fight them? He said: When we were at Siffin, the killing became intense among the people of Sham...... Then he mentioned a story. He said: Ali ؓ returned to Kufa, and the Khawarij said about him what they said, and they camped at Harura', and they were some ten thousand. Ali ؓ sent to them, adjuring them by God Almighty: Return to your caliph. What do you hold against him? Is it in division or judgment? They said: We fear entering into a trial. He said: Do not hasten to the error of this year for fear of the trial of next year. So they returned and said: Let him be over our region. If he accepts the arbitration, we will fight him as we fought the people of Sham at Siffin, and if he breaks it, we will fight with him. So they marched until they crossed Nahrawan. A group of them split off and began killing people. Their companions said: It was not for this that we separated from Ali. When their action reached Ali ؓ, he stood and said: Will you march against your enemy or return to those who have stayed behind in your homes? They said: Rather, we return to them. He said: Ali ؓ narrated that the Messenger of God ﷺ said: A group will come out from the direction of the east at a time of discord among the people. They will not consider your jihad with their jihad as anything, nor your prayer with their prayer as anything, nor your fasting with their fasting as anything. They will go out of the religion as an arrow goes out of the game. Their sign is a man whose upper arm is like a woman's breast. The closest of the two parties to the truth will kill them. Ali ؓ marched against them and fought them a severe fight. Ali's cavalry began to stand up to them, so he said: O people, if you are fighting them only for my sake, then by God, I have nothing to tell you. But if you are fighting for God Almighty, then let not this be your fighting. So they advanced upon them and killed them all. Then he said: Search for him. They searched but did not find him. Ali ؓ mounted his beast and came to a hollow in the ground, and there were dead bodies piled upon each other. He was extracted from beneath them, and he dragged him by his leg while the people watched. Ali ؓ said: I will not raid this year. He returned to Kufa and was killed. The people appointed al-Hasan b. Ali ؓ as caliph. Al-Hasan sent the pledge of allegiance to Muawiyah ؓ, and al-Hasan wrote about that to Qays b. Sa'd ؓ. Qays b. Sa'd stood among his companions and said: O people, two matters have come to you, and you must choose one of them: entering into a trial, or fighting without an imam. The people said: What is this? He said: Al-Hasan b. Ali has given the pledge of allegiance to Muawiyah. So the people returned and pledged allegiance to Muawiyah ؓ. Muawiyah had no concern except for those at al-Nahrawan. They began to come to him and pledge allegiance, until there remained of them three hundred and some, and they were the companions of al-Nukhaylah.

كَفَّ عَلِيٌّ ؓ عَنْ قِتَالِ أَهْلِ النَّهَرِ حَتَّى يُحْدِثُوا، فَانْطَلَقُوا، فَأَتَوْا عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ، وَهُوَ فِي قَرْيَةٍ لَهُ، قَدْ تَنَحَّى عَنِ الْفِتْنَةِ، فَأَخَذُوهُ، قَالَ: فَرَأَوْا تَمْرَةً وَقَعَتْ مِنْ رَأْسِ نَخْلَةٍ، فَأَخَذَهَا رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ، فَجَعَلَهَا فِي فِيهِ، فَقَالُوا: تَمْرَةٌ مِنْ تَمْرِ أَهْلِ الْعَهْدِ، أَخَذْتَهَا بِغَيْرِ ثَمَنٍ، قَالَ: فَلَفَظَهَا، قَالَ: وَأَتَوْا عَلَى خِنْزِيرٍ، فَبَعَجَهُ أَحَدُهُمْ بِسَيْفِهِ، فَقَتَلَهُ، فَقَالُوا: خِنْزِيرٌ مِنْ خَنَازِيرِ أَهْلِ الْعَهْدِ قَتَلْتَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ خَبَّابٍ ؓ: أَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ - أَوْ أُخْبِرُكُمْ - بِمَنْ هُوَ أَعْظَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ حَقًّا مِنْ هَذِهِ التَّمْرَةِ، وَهَذَا الْخِنْزِيرِ ؟ قَالُوا: مَنْ ؟ قَالَ: أَنَا ( أُرَاهُ قَالَ ): مَا تَرَكْتُ صَلَاةً، مُنْذُ بَلَغْتُ وَلَا صِيَامَ رَمَضَانَ، وَعَدَّدَ أَشْيَاءَ، فَقَرَّبُوهُ، فَقَتَلُوهُ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَلِيًّا ؓ، فَأَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ بِالْمَسِيرِ إِلَيْهِمْ. وَقَالَ: أَقِيدُونَا بِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ، قَالُوا: كَيْفَ نُقِيدُكَ بِهِ وَكُلُّنَا قَتَلَهُ ؟ فَقَالَ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: اسْطُوا عَلَيْهِمْ فَوَاللهِ لَا يُقْتَلُ مِنْكُمْ عَشَرَةٌ، وَلَا يَفِرُّ مِنْهُمْ عَشَرَةٌ، فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ: اطْلُبُوا رَجُلًا، صِفَتُهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَطَلَبُوهُ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ، ثُمَّ طَلَبُوهُ، فَوَجَدُوهُ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ: مَنْ يَعْرِفُ هَذَا ؟ فَلَمْ يُعْرَفْ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: أَنَا رَأَيْتُ هَذَا بِالنَّجَفِ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أُرِيدُ هَذَا الْمِصْرَ، وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ ذُو نَسَبٍ وَلَا مَعْرِفَةٍ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ: صَدَقْتَ، هُوَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ
✧ Ali ؓ refrained from fighting the people of al-Nahr until they initiated [hostilities]. They departed and came upon Abdullah b. Khabbab while he was in a village of his, having withdrawn from the fitnah. They seized him. He said: They saw a date that had fallen from the top of a palm tree, and a man among them took it and put it in his mouth. They said: 'A date from the dates of the people of the covenant, you took it without paying its price.' He said: So he spat it out. He said: Then they came upon a pig, and one of them stabbed it with his sword and killed it. They said: 'A pig belonging to the people of the covenant, you killed it.' Abdullah b. Khabbab ؓ said to them: 'Shall I not inform you—or tell you—of someone who has a greater right over you than this date and this pig?' They said: 'Who?' He said: 'I.' (I think he said): 'I have not abandoned any prayer since I reached maturity, nor the fasting of Ramadan,' and he enumerated several things. So they brought him forward and killed him. That reached Ali ؓ, and he ordered his companions to march against them. He said: 'Let them give us retribution for Abdullah b. Khabbab.' They said: 'How can we give you retribution for him when all of us killed him?' He said: 'Allah is greater.' And he said to his companions: 'Attack them, for by Allah, not ten of you will be killed and not ten of them will flee.' And so it happened. Ali ؓ said: 'Search for a man whose description is such and such.' They searched but did not find him. Then they searched again and found him. Ali ؓ said: 'Who knows this man?' No one recognized him. Then a man said: 'I saw this one at al-Najaf.' He said: 'I intend to go to this city, and there is no one there with lineage or acquaintance.' Ali ؓ said: 'You have spoken the truth; he is a man from the jinn.'

✧ There was among us a young man of great worship, asceticism, and exertion. He said: We named him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but he did not recognize him. We described him by his description, but he did not recognize him. While we were thus, he approached. We said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: 'It is this one.' He ﷺ said: 'Indeed, I see on his face a dark mark from Satan.' He came and greeted. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'Have you said within yourself that there is no one among the people better than you?' He said: 'O Allah, yes.' Then he turned away and entered the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Who will kill the man?' Abu Bakr ؓ said: 'I will.' He entered and found him standing in prayer. He said: 'Should I kill a man who is praying, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has forbidden us from striking those who pray?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Who will kill the man?' Umar ؓ said: 'I will, O Messenger of Allah.' He entered the mosque and found him prostrating. He said the same as Abu Bakr ؓ, and added: 'I will certainly return, for one better than me has already returned.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Enough, O Umar.' He mentioned it to him, and he ﷺ said: 'Who will kill the man?' Ali ؓ said: 'I will.' He ﷺ said: 'You will kill him if you find him.' He entered the mosque and found that he had already left. He ﷺ said: 'By Allah, if you had killed him, he would have been the first of them and the last of them, and no two of my Ummah would have differed.'

✧ There was a man at the time of the Prophet ﷺ who would go on military expeditions with us. When he returned and dismounted from his riding camel, he would head to the mosque and pray in it, prolonging the prayer, until some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ thought that he had virtue over them. One day he passed by while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting among his Companions. One of his Companions said to him ﷺ: 'That is him.' So he either sent for him or he came on his own. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw him approaching, he said: 'By the One in Whose hand is my soul, indeed between his eyes there is a dark mark from Satan.' When he stood before the gathering, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'Did you say within yourself when you stood: There is no one among the people better than me?' He said: 'Yes.' Then he left and went to a corner of the mosque, drew a line with his foot, then aligned his heels and stood to pray.

Al-Hasan and al-Husayn ؓ, or one of them, said: 'By Allah, by Allah, then by Allah, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) cursed you upon the tongue of His Prophet ﷺ while you were in the loins of al-Hakam.' Marwan fell silent.

كَانَ مَرْوَانُ أَمِيرًا عَلَيْنَا سِنِينَ، فَكَانَ يَسُبُّ عَلِيًّا ؓ كُلَّ جُمُعَةٍ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، ثُمَّ عُزِلَ مَرْوَانُ، وَاسْتُعْمِلَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْعَاصِ سِنِينَ، فَكَانَ لَا يَسُبُّهُ، ثُمَّ عُزِلَ سَعِيدٌ، وَأُعِيدَ مَرْوَانُ، فَكَانَ يَسُبُّهُ، فَقِيلَ لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ؓ: أَلَا تَسْمَعُ مَا يَقُولُ مَرْوَانُ ؟ فَلَا تَرُدُّ شَيْئًا ؟ فَكَانَ يَجِيءُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، فَيَدْخُلُ حُجْرَةَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَيَكُونُ فِيهَا، فَإِذَا قُضِيَتِ الْخُطْبَةُ، خَرَجَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلَّى فِيهِ، ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ، فَلَمْ يَرْضَ بِذَلِكَ مَرْوَانُ، حَتَّى أَهْدَى لَهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ، فَإِنَّا لَجُلُوسٌ مَعَهُ، إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُ: فُلَانٌ عَلَى الْبَابِ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ، فَدَخَلَ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي جِئْتُكَ مِنْ عِنْدِ سُلْطَانٍ، وَجِئْتُكَ بِعَزْمَةٍ، فَقَالَ: تَكَلَّمْ، فَقَالَ: أَرْسَلَ مَرْوَانُ بِعَلِيٍّ وَبِعَلِيٍّ وَبِكَ وَبِكَ، وَمَا وَجَدْتُ مَثَلَكَ إِلَّا مَثَلَ الْبَغْلَةِ، يُقَالُ لَهَا: مَنْ أَبُوكِ ؟ فَتَقُولُ: أُمِّي الْفَرَسُ. فَقَالَ: ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ، فَقُلْ لَهُ: وَاللهِ لَا أَمْحُو عَنْكَ شَيْئًا مِمَّا قُلْتَ بِأَنِّي أَسُبُّكَ، وَلَكِنَّ مَوْعِدِي وَمَوْعِدَكَ اللهُ، فَإِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقًا يَأْجُرُكَ اللهُ بِصِدْقِكَ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ كَاذِبًا، فَاللهُ أَشَدُّ نِقْمَةً، قَدْ أَكْرَمَ اللهُ تَعَالَى جَدِّي أَنْ يَكُونَ مَثَلِي مَثَلَ الْبَغْلَةِ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ، فَلَقِيَ الْحُسَيْنَ ؓ فِي الْحُجْرَةِ فَسَأَلَهُ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ أُرْسِلْتُ بِرِسَالَةٍ، وَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُهَا، قَالَ: وَاللهِ لَتُخْبِرَنِّي بِهَا، أَوْ لَآمُرَنَّ أَنْ تُضْرَبَ حَتَّى لَا يُدْرَى مَتَى يَفْرُغُ عَنْكَ الضَّرْبُ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ الْحَسَنُ ؓ قَالَ: أَرْسِلْهُ، قَالَ: لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ، قَالَ: لِمَ ؟ قَالَ: قَدْ حَلَفْتُ، قَالَ: أَرْسَلَ مَرْوَانُ بِعَلِيٍّ وَبِعَلِيٍّ وَبِكَ وَبِكَ، وَمَا وَجَدْتُ مَثَلَكَ إِلَّا مَثَلَ الْبَغْلَةِ، يُقَالُ لَهَا: مَنْ أَبُوكِ ؟ فَتَقُولُ: أُمِّي الْفَرَسُ، فَقَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ ؓ: أَكَلْتَ بَظْرَ أُمِّكَ إِنْ لَمْ تُبْلِغْهُ عَنِّي مَا أَقُولُ لَهُ، قُلْ لَهُ: بِكَ وَبِأَبِيكَ وَبِقَوْمِكَ، وَآيَةِ مَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، أَنْ تُمْسِكَ مَنْكِبَيْكَ مِنْ لَعْنِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ
✧ Marwan was governor over us for years, and he used to revile 'Ali ؓ every Friday on the pulpit. Then Marwan was dismissed and Sa'id b. al-'As was appointed for years, and he did not revile him. Then Sa'id was dismissed and Marwan was reinstated, and he reviled him. It was said to al-Hasan b. 'Ali ؓ: 'Do you not hear what Marwan says? Will you not reply with anything?' He used to come on Friday and enter the room of the Prophet ﷺ and remain in it. When the sermon was finished, he would go out to the mosque and pray in it, then return to his family. Marwan was not satisfied with that, until he sent someone to him in his house. While we were sitting with him, it was said to him: 'So-and-so is at the door.' He gave him permission, and he entered and said: 'I have come to you from the ruler, and I have come to you with a firm command.' He said: 'Speak.' He said: 'Marwan sent regarding 'Ali and regarding 'Ali and regarding you and regarding you, and I found no likeness for you except the likeness of a mule. It is said to it: Who is your father? It says: My mother is a horse.' He said: 'Return to him and tell him: By Allah, I will not erase anything of what you said by reviling you, but my appointed time and your appointed time is with Allah. If you are truthful, Allah will reward you for your truthfulness, and if you are lying, then Allah is severer in retribution. Allah (Exalted is He) has honored my grandfather too much for my likeness to be the likeness of a mule.' Then he went out and met al-Husayn ؓ in the room, who asked him. He said: 'I was sent with a message, and I have delivered it.' He said: 'By Allah, you will inform me of it, or I will order that you be beaten until it is not known when the beating will finish with you.' When al-Hasan ؓ saw him, he said: 'Release him.' He said: 'I cannot.' He said: 'Why?' He said: 'I have sworn an oath.' He said: 'Marwan sent regarding 'Ali and regarding 'Ali and regarding you and regarding you, and I found no likeness for you except the likeness of a mule. It is said to it: Who is your father? It says: My mother is a horse.' Al-Husayn ؓ said: 'May you eat the clitoris of your mother if you do not convey from me what I say to him. Tell him: Regarding you, and regarding your father, and regarding your people, and the sign between me and you is that you will grasp your shoulders from the curse of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.'

✧ When Yazid b. Abi Sufyan was governor in Syria, the Muslims raided and were safe and gained booty. Among their booty was a precious slave-girl, and she fell to a man among the Muslims. Yazid sent to him and seized her from him. Abu Dharr ؓ was in Syria that day, so the man sought help from Abu Dharr ؓ against Yazid. He went with him and said to Yazid: 'Return his slave-girl to him.' He hesitated three times. Abu Dharr ؓ said: 'By Allah, if you do it, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: The first to change my Sunnah will be a man from Banu Umayyah.' Then he turned away from him. Yazid caught up with him and said: 'I remind you of Allah (Exalted is He): is it I?' He said: 'O Allah, no.' And he returned the slave-girl to the man.

✧ Everything has a coming and a going; indeed this religion has a coming and a going. Among the coming of this religion is what Allah sent me with, such that a tribe would gain understanding from its last members, until none remain except one or two sinners, and they are overpowered, suppressed, and humiliated. If they speak or utter, they are suppressed, overpowered, and oppressed. Then he mentioned among the going of this religion: that a whole tribe will become harsh from its last members, until none remain in it except one or two jurists, and they are overpowered, suppressed, and humiliated. If they speak or utter, they are suppressed, overpowered, and oppressed, and it is said to them: Do you transgress against us? So much so that wine will be drunk in their gathering places—the evil—and their assemblies and markets, and wine will be renamed without its name, until the last of this ummah curses its first, unless the curse befalls them, and they say: There is no harm in this drink; a man among them drinks as much as he wishes then refrains, until a woman passes by and he goes to her and lifts her garment and has intercourse with her while they watch, just as the garment of a ewe is lifted. He lifted a garment upon him of these sahuli garments, and one among them would say: If only you had avoided her on the road. That among them is like Abu Bakr and Umar ؓ. So whoever reaches that time and enjoins good and forbids evil, he will have the reward of fifty of those who accompanied me and believed in me and trusted me.

فُتِحَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَتْحٌ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، سُيِّبَتِ الْخَيْلُ، وَوُضِعَ السِّلَاحُ، وَقَدْ وَضَعَتِ الْحَرْبُ أَوْزَارَهَا، وَقَالُوا: لَا قِتَالَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: الْآنَ جَاءَ الْقِتَالُ، لَا يَزَالُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُزِيغُ قُلُوبَ أَقْوَامٍ تُقَاتِلُونَهُمْ، يَرْزُقُ اللهُ مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللهِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، وَعُقْرُ دَارِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِالشَّامِ
✧ A conquest was granted to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so I came to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, the horses have been released, the weapons laid down, and war has laid down its burdens; they say: No fighting. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Now fighting has come. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will not cease to make the hearts of people deviate whom you will fight; Allah provides from among them until the command of Allah comes upon that. The center of the believers' abode is in Syria.

لَا تَزَالُ عِصَابَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يُقَاتِلُونَ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ دِمَشْقَ وَمَا حَوْلَهُ، وَعَلَى أَبْوَابِ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ وَمَا حَوْلَهُ، لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ. وَزَادَ ابْنُ حَمْدَانَ: لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ خِذْلَانُ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ، ظَاهِرِينَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ
✧ There will not cease to be a group of my ummah fighting at the gates of Damascus and its surroundings, and at the gates of Jerusalem and its surroundings; those who abandon them will not harm them. Ibn Hamdan added: The abandonment of those who abandon them will not harm them; they will be victorious upon the truth until the Hour rises.

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ؓ حِينَ جَاءَهُ كِتَابُ عَامِلِهِ، يُخْبِرُهُ أَنَّهُ وَقَعَ بِالتُّرْكِ وَهَزَمَهُمْ، وَكَثْرَةَ مَنْ قَتَلَ مِنْهُمْ، وَكَثْرَةَ مَا غَنِمَ، فَغَضِبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ ؓ فِي ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ أَنْ يُكْتَبَ إِلَيْهِ: قَدْ فَهِمْتُ مَا ذَكَرْتَهُ مِمَّا قَتَلْتَ وَغَنِمْتَ، فَلَا أَعْلَمَنَّ مَا عُدْتَ لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، وَلَا قَاتَلْتَهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكَ أَمْرِي، قُلْتُ لَهُ: لِمَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؟ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، يَقُولُ: إِنَّ التُّرْكَ تُجْلِي الْعَرَبَ، حَتَّى تُلْحِقَهَا بِمَنَابِتِ الشِّيحِ وَالْقَيْصُومِ فَأَكْرَهُ قِتَالَهُمْ لِذَلِكَ
✧ I was with Mu'awiyah b. Abi Sufyan ؓ when the letter of his governor came to him, informing him that he had encountered the Turks and defeated them, and of the large number of them he had killed, and the large amount of booty he had taken. Mu'awiyah ؓ became angry at that, and then ordered that it be written to him: "I have understood what you mentioned of those you killed and the booty you took. Do not let me know that you return to any of that, nor fight them until my command comes to you." I said to him: "Why, O Commander of the Faithful?" He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'The Turks will drive out the Arabs until they make them catch up with the places where wormwood and southernwood grow.' Thus I dislike fighting them for that reason."

✧ When Yazid b. al-Muhallab defeated the people of Basrah, I feared to sit in al-Hasan's circle, lest I be found there and recognized. So I went to al-Hasan in his house and entered upon him. I said: "O Abu Sa'id, what about this verse?" He said: "Which verse?" I said: "The saying of Him, Mighty and Majestic: 'They used not to forbid one another from wrongdoing that they did' (Al-Ma'idah 5:79)." He said: "O Abdullah, the people drew the sword, and the sword intervened to prevent speech." I said: "O Abu Sa'id, do you know of any virtue for one who speaks?" He said: "No." Al-Mu'alla said: Then he narrated two hadiths. He said: "Abu Sa'id narrated to us from the Prophet ﷺ that he said: 'Let not the fear of people prevent any of you from speaking the truth when he sees it, for it does not bring death nearer nor drive provision away.'" He said: Then al-Hasan narrated another hadith and said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'It is not for a believer to humiliate himself.' It was said: 'And what is his humiliating himself?' He said: 'He exposes himself to tribulation that he cannot bear.'" It was said: "O Abu Sa'id, and Yazid al-Dabbi in his speech during the prayer?" He said: "Indeed, he did not leave prison until he regretted." Al-Mu'alla said: So I got up from al-Hasan's gathering and went to Yazid al-Dabbi. I said: "O Abu Mawdud, while I and al-Hasan were discussing, you set your affair before us." He said: "Enough, O Abu al-Hasan." I said: "I have done so." He said: "So what did he say?" I said: "Indeed, he did not leave prison until he regretted his statement." Yazid said: "I do not regret my statement. By Allah, I stood in a position in which I risked my life." Yazid said: "I came to al-Hasan and said: 'O Abu Sa'id, will we be overcome in everything, and be overcome in our prayer?' He said: 'O Abdullah, you are exposing yourself to them, and then you will accomplish nothing.'" He said: "Then I came to him and he said to me the same as his previous statement. So I stood up on Friday in the mosque while al-Hakam b. Ayyub was delivering the sermon, and I said: 'The prayer, may Allah have mercy on you.' When I said that, men surrounded me, seized my beard, my head, and my collar, and began striking my belly with the scabbards of their swords. They took me toward the enclosure. I entered and stood before al-Hakam while he was silent. He said: 'Are you mad? Were we not in prayer?' I said: 'May Allah set the amir right, is there any speech better than the Book of Allah, Mighty and Majestic?' He said: 'No.' I said: 'Have you considered if a man spread out a mushaf and read it from morning to night, would that discharge his prayer?' He said: 'By Allah, I think you are mad.' He said: 'And Anas b. Malik was sitting beneath his minbar, silent. So I said: "O Anas! O Abu Hamzah, I adjure you by Allah, Exalted is He, for you served the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and accompanied him. Did I speak with what is right or with what is wrong? With truth or with falsehood?"' He said: 'No, by Allah, he did not answer me with a word.' So al-Hakam b. Ayyub said to him: 'O Anas.' He said: 'At your service, may Allah set you right.' He said: 'Had the time of prayer passed?' He said: 'Rather, some of it remained.' So al-Hakam said: 'Imprison him.'" Yazid said: "I swear to you, O Abu al-Hasan, what I met from my companions was harder on me than what I met from al-Hakam. Some of them said: 'He is a hypocrite,' and some said: 'He is mad.'" He said: "Al-Hakam wrote to al-Hajjaj that a man from Banu Dabbah stood up to me on Friday while I was delivering the sermon, and said: 'The prayer,' and that just witnesses have testified before me that he is mad. So al-Hajjaj wrote to him: 'If the just witnesses testify that he is mad, then release him; otherwise, cut off his hands and feet, gouge out his eyes with hot iron, and crucify him.'" He said: "So they testified before al-Hakam that I was mad, and he released me." Al-Mu'alla said, from Yazid al-Dabbi: "Then a brother of ours died, and we followed his funeral procession and prayed over him. When he was buried, I withdrew with a group, and we remembered Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and remembered our return to Him. While we were doing that, we saw the forelocks of horses and spears. When my companions saw that, they dispersed and left me alone. Al-Hakam came and stood over me. He said: 'What were you doing?' I said: 'May Allah set the amir right, a companion of ours died, and we prayed over him, buried him, and sat remembering our Lord, remembering our return to Him, and remembering what he has come to.' He said: 'What prevented you from fleeing as they fled?' I said: 'May Allah set you right, I am innocent of that. Would I flee from the amir?' Al-Hakam was silent. Then Abdul-Malik b. al-Muhallab, who was in charge of his police, said to him: 'Do you know who this is?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'This is the one who spoke on Friday.' He said: 'Al-Hakam became angry and said: "You are indeed bold. Seize him."' So I was seized, and he flogged me with four hundred lashes. I did not know when he left me because of the severity of the beating. He said: 'And he sent me to Wasit, and I remained in al-Hajjaj's dungeon until al-Hajjaj died.'"

✧ I saw the Prophet ﷺ in the mosque of al-Khayf, and his companions said to me: "Move aside, O Wathilah," meaning: get out of his way. He said: "Leave him, for he has only come to ask." So I drew near and said: "May my father and mother be your ransom, O Messenger of Allah, give us a ruling about a matter that we may take from you after you are gone." He ﷺ said: "Let your own self give you a ruling." I said: "How can I do that?" He ﷺ said: "Leave what causes you doubt for what does not cause you doubt, even if the muftis give you rulings." I said: "How can I know that?" He ﷺ said: "Place your hand on your heart, for the heart is at rest with the lawful and is not at rest with the unlawful. And the scrupulousness of a Muslim is that he leaves the small sin for fear of falling into the great one." I said: "Who is the greedy?" He said: "The one who seeks earnings from what is not lawful."

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned the Beast and said: It has three emergences in the course of time. It will emerge in the remotest part of the desert, and its mention will not enter the town—meaning Makkah. Then it will hide for a long time. Then it will emerge another time, less than that, and its mention will become prominent in the desert and its mention will enter the town—meaning Makkah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Then while the people are in the greatest mosque, the one most sacred to Allah—best and noblest, the Sacred Mosque—they will be startled only by it braying between the Corner and the Station, shaking the dust from its head. The people will disperse from it in all directions, but a band of believers will remain steadfast, knowing that they cannot escape Allah the Exalted. It will begin with them and brand their faces until it makes them like the shining star. Then it will depart into the earth, no pursuer catching it and no fleer escaping it, to the point that a man will seek refuge from it by prayer, and it will come to him from behind and say: Now, O so-and-so, you pray? He will turn to it, and it will mark his face, then go off. People will share in wealth and accompany one another in the cities, the believer being known from the disbeliever, so that the believer will say: O disbeliever, pay me my due, and the disbeliever will say: O believer, pay me my due.

وَجَّهَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ؓ نَضْلَةَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو الْأَنْصَارِيَّ ؓ فِي ثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ، فَأَغَارُوا عَلَى حُلْوَانَ فَافْتَتَحَهَا، فَأَصَابَ غَنَائِمَ كَثِيرَةً وَسَبْيًا كَثِيرًا، فَجَاؤُوا يَسُوقُونَ مَا مَعَهُمْ وَهُمْ بَيْنَ جَبَلَيْنِ، حَتَّى أَرْهَقَتْهُمُ الْعَصْرُ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ نَضْلَةُ ؓ: اصْرِفُوا إِلَى سَفْحِ الْجَبَلِ، فَفَعَلُوا، ثُمَّ قَامَ نَضْلَةُ ؓ فَنَادَى بِالْأَذَانِ فَقَالَ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ. فَأَجَابَهُ صَوْتٌ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ لَا يُرَى مَعَهُ صُورَةٌ، كَبَّرْتَ كَبِيرًا يَا نَضْلَةُ، قَالَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، قَالَ: أَخْلَصْتَ يَا نَضْلَةُ إِخْلَاصًا، قَالَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، قَالَ: نَبِيٌّ بُعِثَ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدَهُ، قَالَ: حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ. قَالَ: فَرِيضَةٌ فُرِضَتْ، قَالَ: حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ، قَالَ: أَفْلَحَ مَنْ أَتَاهَا وَوَاظَبَ عَلَيْهَا، قَالَ: قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، قَالَ: الْبَقَاءُ لِأُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ، وَعَلَى رُؤُوسِهَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ، فَلَمَّا صَلَّوْا، قَامَ نَضْلَةُ ؓ، فَقَالَ: أَيُّهَا الْكَلَامُ الْحَسَنُ الطَّيِّبُ الْجَمِيلُ قَدْ سَمِعْنَا كَلَامًا حَسَنًا، أَفَمِنْ مَلَائِكَةِ اللهِ أَنْتَ، أَمْ طَائِفٌ، أَمْ سَاكِنٌ ؟ ابْرُزْ لَنَا فَكَلِّمْنَا، فَإِنَّا وَفْدُ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَوَفْدُ نَبِيِّهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: فَبَرَزَ لَهُ شَيْخٌ مِنْ شِعْبٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ الشِّعَابِ أَبْيَضُ الرَّأْسِ وَاللِّحْيَةِ، لَهُ هَامَةٌ كَأَنَّهَا رَحًى، طَوِيلُ اللِّحْيَةِ فِي طِمْرَيْنِ مِنْ صُوفٍ أَبْيَضَ، فَقَالَ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ، فَرَدُّوا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ نَضْلَةُ: مَنْ أَنْتَ يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ ؟ قَالَ: أَنَا زَرْنَبُ بْنُ ثَرْمَلَا وَصِيُّ الْعَبْدِ الصَّالِحِ عِيسَى بْنِ مَرْيَمَ، دَعَا لِي بِالْبَقَاءِ إِلَى نُزُولِهِ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَقَرَارِي فِي هَذَا الْجَبَلِ، فَاقْرَأْ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؓ السَّلَامَ، وَقُلْ لَهُ: اثْبُتْ وَسَدِّدْ وَقَارِبْ، فَإِنَّ الْأَمْرَ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ وَإِيَّاكَ يَا عُمَرُ إِنْ ظَهَرَتْ خِصَالٌ فِي أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَأَنْتَ فِيهِمْ، فَالْهَرَبَ الْهَرَبَ، فَقَالَ نَضْلَةُ ؓ: يَا زَرْنَبُ ! رَحِمَكَ اللهُ
✧ Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas ؓ dispatched Nadlah b. 'Amr al-Ansari ؓ with three hundred men from the Muhajirun and the Ansar. They raided Hulwan and conquered it, capturing much booty and many prisoners. They came driving what was with them while they were between two mountains, until the afternoon prayer overtook them. Nadlah ؓ said to them: 'Turn toward the foot of the mountain,' and they did so. Then Nadlah ؓ stood and called the adhan, saying: 'Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar.' A voice from the mountain answered him, with no visible form: 'You have proclaimed greatness greatly, O Nadlah.' He said: 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah.' It said: 'You have been sincere, O Nadlah, with true sincerity.' He said: 'I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.' It said: 'A prophet was sent after whom there is no prophet.' He said: 'Come to prayer.' It said: 'An obligation that has been ordained.' He said: 'Come to success.' It said: 'Successful is the one who comes to it and perseveres in it.' He said: 'The prayer is about to begin.' It said: 'Endurance is for the community of Muhammad ﷺ, and upon its heads the Hour will come.' When they had prayed, Nadlah ؓ stood and said: 'O good, pleasant, beautiful speech, we have heard good speech. Are you from the angels of Allah, or a tayf (spirit), or a resident? Appear to us and speak with us, for we are a delegation of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and a delegation of His Prophet ﷺ.' Then an old man emerged from one of those mountain passes, white-haired and white-bearded, with a head like a millstone, long-bearded, in two worn white woolen garments. He said: 'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.' They returned his greeting. Nadlah said to him: 'Who are you, may Allah have mercy on you?' He said: 'I am Zarnab b. Tharmala, the deputy of the righteous servant Jesus son of Mary. He prayed for me to remain until his descent from heaven, and my abode is in this mountain. Convey my greetings to 'Umar b. al-Khattab, the Commander of the Faithful ؓ, and tell him: Be steadfast, aim rightly, and draw near, for the matter has drawn close. And beware, O 'Umar, if certain traits appear in the community of Muhammad ﷺ while you are among them, then flee, flee.' Nadlah ؓ said: 'O Zarnab! May Allah have mercy on you.'

لَقِيتُ ابْنَ صَيَّادٍ يَوْمًا، وَمَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ، فَإِذَا عَيْنُهُ قَدْ طُفِئَتْ، وَكَانَتْ خَارِجَةً مِثْلَ عَيْنِ الْجَمَلِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهَا قُلْتُ: ابْنَ صَيَّادٍ !، أَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ مَتَى طُفِئَتْ عَيْنُكَ ؟ فَمَسَحَهَا، وَقَالَ: لَا أَدْرِي وَالرَّحْمَنِ، فَقُلْتُ: كَذَبْتَ، لَا تَدْرِي وَهِيَ فِي رَأْسِكَ، فَزَعَمَ لِي الْيَهُودِيُّ أَنِّي ضَرَبْتُ بِيَدِي عَلَى صَدْرِهِ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ، فَقُلْتُ: اخْسَأْ فَلَنْ تَعْدُوَ قَدْرَكَ، قَالَ: أَجَلْ، لَا أَعْدُو قَدْرِي، قَالَ: وَذَكَرَ شَيْئًا لَا أَحْفَظُهُ، قَالَ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِحَفْصَةَ ؓ، فَقَالَتِ: اجْتَنِبْ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ فَإِنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّ الدَّجَّالَ يَخْرُجُ عِنْدَ غَضْبَةٍ يَغْضَبُهَا
✧ I met Ibn Sayyad one day, and with him was a man from the Jews, and his eye had been extinguished, and it was protruding like a camel's eye. When I saw it I said: "Ibn Sayyad! I adjure you by Allah, when was your eye extinguished?" He wiped it and said: "I do not know, by the Most Merciful." I said: "You lie, you do not know while it is in your head?" The Jew claimed to me that I struck my hand on his chest, and I do not know that I did that. I said: "Be off! You will never exceed your bounds." He said: "Indeed, I will not exceed my bounds." He mentioned something I do not remember. I mentioned that to Hafsa ؓ, and she said: "Avoid this man, for we speak that the Dajjal will emerge at a fit of anger that he becomes angry."

He said: "Do you testify that I am the Messenger of Allah?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I believe in Allah and His messengers." He said: "I have hidden something for you, what is it?" He said: "Dukh (smoke)." He ﷺ said: "Be off!" Then he said: "Look, what do you see?" He said: "I see a whirlwind and a throne on the water." He said: "It has been obscured from him." Umar ؓ said: "Shall I kill him, O Messenger of Allah?" He ﷺ said: "If he is the Dajjal, you will not be given power to kill him, and if he is not the Dajjal, it is not lawful to kill him."

✧ The Dajjal, when he emerges, will emerge from the direction of the east. His armies and his outposts will become numerous, and no one will reach him except one who says: "I am a delegate." So a man will come and say: "I am a delegate." When the Dajjal sees him, he will say: "Son of Adam, do you not know that I am your lord?" He will say: "No, you are the enemy of Allah, the Dajjal." He will say: "Then I will kill you." He will say: "Even if you kill me." He said: Then he will take a saw and place it between his forelock, and split him into two halves. Then he will say to those around him: "How do you see it if I revive him?" They will say: "That is when we will be certain that you are our lord." He said: Then he will revive him. He will say to him: "Son of Adam, you claimed that I am not your lord." He will say: "I was never more certain of insight about you than now." He will say: "I will slaughter you." He will say: "Even if you slaughter me." He said: Then he will intend to slaughter him but will not be able to slaughter him. Then he will say from beneath him: "If you are truthful, then slaughter me." At that point his armies will doubt him, and Ibn Maryam ﷺ will descend upon him. When he sees him and smells his scent, he will melt as lead melts.

إِنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ ؓ، عَنِ الدَّجَّالِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: إِنَّ كُلَّ نَبِيٍّ قَدْ أَنْذَرَ قَوْمَهُ الدَّجَّالَ، أَلَا وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَكَلَ الطَّعَامَ، أَلَا وَإِنِّي عَاهِدٌ إِلَيْكُمْ فِيهِ عَهْدًا لَمْ يَعْهَدْهُ نَبِيٌّ إِلَى أُمَّتِهِ، أَلَا وَإِنَّ عَيْنَهُ الْيُمْنَى مَمْسُوحَةٌ كَأَنَّهَا نُخَاعَةٌ فِي جَانِبِ حَائِطٍ، أَلَا وَإِنَّ عَيْنَهُ الْيُسْرَى كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ، مَعَهُ مِثْلُ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ، فَالنَّارُ رَوْضَةٌ خَضْرَاءُ، وَالْجَنَّةُ غَبْرَاءُ ذَاتُ دُخَانٍ، وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ رَجُلَانِ يُنْذِرَانِ أَهْلَ الْقُرَى، كُلَّمَا دَخَلَا قَرْيَةً أَنْذَرَا أَهْلَهَا، فَإِذَا خَرَجَا مِنْهُ دَخَلَ أَوَّلُ أَصْحَابِ الدَّجَّالِ، فَيَدْخُلُ الْقُرَى كُلَّهَا غَيْرَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ، حُرِّمَتَا عَلَيْهِ، وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ مُتَفَرِّقُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ، فَيَجْمَعُهُمُ اللهُ تَعَالَى، فَيَقُولُ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ: وَاللهِ لَأَنْطَلِقَنَّ فَلَأَنْظُرَنَّ هَذَا الَّذِي أَنْذَرَنَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَيَقُولُ لَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ: إِنَّا لَا نَدَعُكَ تَأْتِيهِ، وَلَوْ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّهُ لَا يَفْتِنُكَ لَخَلَّيْنَا سَبِيلَكَ، وَلَكِنَّا نَخَافُ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكَ فَتَتَّبِعَهُ، فَيَأْبَى إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ، فَيَنْطَلِقُ حَتَّى إِذَا أَتَى أَدْنَى مَسْلَحَةٍ مِنْ مَسَالِحِهِ أَخَذُوهُ، فَسَأَلُوهُ: مَا شَأْنُهُ ؟ وَأَيْنَ يُرِيدُ ؟ فَيَقُولُ: أُرِيدُ الدَّجَّالَ الْكَذَّابَ، فَيَقُولُونَ: أَنْتَ تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ ؟ فَيَكْتُبُونَ إِلَيْهِ: إِنَّا أَخَذْنَا رَجُلًا يَقُولُ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَنَقْتُلُهُ، أَمْ نَبْعَثُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ ؟ فَيَقُولُ: أَرْسِلُوا بِهِ إِلَيَّ، فَانْطَلَقُوا بِهِ إِلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ عَرَفَهُ بِنَعْتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: أَنْتَ الدَّجَّالُ الْكَذَّابُ الَّذِي أَنْذَرَنَا مِنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الدَّجَّالُ: أَنْتَ تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ ؟ لَتُطِيعَنِّي فِيمَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ، أَوْ لَأَشُقَّنَّكَ شَقَّتَيْنِ، فَيُنَادِي الْعَبْدُ الْمُؤْمِنُ فِي النَّاسِ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَذَا الْمَسِيحُ الْكَذَّابُ، فَيَأْمُرُ بِهِ فَمَدَّ رِجْلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِحَدِيدَةٍ، فَوُضِعَتْ عَلَى عَجْبِ ذَنَبِهِ، فَشَقَّهُ شَقَّتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ الدَّجَّالُ لِأَوْلِيَائِهِ: أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَحْيَيْتُ لَكُمْ هَذَا، أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي رَبُّكُمْ ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: نَعَمْ، فَيَأْخُذُ عَصًا فَيَضْرِبُ بِهَا إِحْدَى شِقَّيْهِ أَوِ الصَّعِيدَ، فَاسْتَوَى قَائِمًا، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ صَدَّقُوهُ، وَأَحَبُّوهُ وَأَيْقَنُوا بِهِ أَنَّهُ رَبُّهُمْ وَاتَّبَعُوهُ، فَيَقُولُ الدَّجَّالُ لِلْعَبْدِ الْمُؤْمِنِ: أَلَا تُؤْمِنُ بِي ؟ فَقَالَ: أَنَا الْآنَ أَشَدُّ بَصِيرَةً فِيكَ مِنِّي، ثُمَّ نَادَى فِي النَّاسِ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَذَا الْمَسِيحُ الْكَذَّابُ، مَنْ أَطَاعَهُ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ، وَمَنْ عَصَاهُ فَهُوَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، فَقَالَ الدَّجَّالُ: لَتُطِيعَنِّي أَوْ لَأَذْبَحَنَّكَ، فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ لَا أُطِيعُكَ أَبَدًا، إِنَّكَ لَأَنْتَ الْكَذَّابُ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ، فَأُضْجِعَ وَأَمَرَ بِذَبْحِهِ فَلَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ، لَا يُسَلَّطُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، فَأَخَذَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ، فَأُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ، وَهِيَ غَيْرُ ذَاتِ دُخَانٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ أَقْرَبُ أُمَّتِي مِنِّي، وَأَرْفَعُهُمْ دَرَجَةً، قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ؓ، قُلْتُ: فَكَيْفَ يَهْلِكُ ؟ قَالَ: اللهُ أَعْلَمُ. قُلْتُ: إِنَّ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ هُوَ يُهْلِكُهُ ؟ قَالَ: اللهُ أَعْلَمُ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى مُهْلِكُهُ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ، قُلْتُ: فَمَاذَا يَكُونُ بَعْدَهُ ؟ قَالَ
✧ He asked Abu Sa'id al-Khudri ؓ about the Dajjal. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Every prophet has warned his people about the Dajjal. Indeed, he has eaten food. Indeed, I am making a covenant with you about him that no prophet has made with his nation. Indeed, his right eye is obliterated, as if it is a protruding grape on the side of a wall. Indeed, his left eye is as if it is a brilliant star. With him is the like of Paradise and Hellfire. The fire is a verdant garden, and the Paradise is dusty with smoke. Before him are two men who warn the people of the villages. Every time they enter a village, they warn its people, and when they leave it, the first of the Dajjal's companions enters. He enters all villages except Makkah and Madinah; they are forbidden to him. The believers are scattered across the earth, and Allah Almighty will gather them. A man among them says: By Allah, I will go and look at this one whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ warned us about. His companions say to him: We will not let you go to him. If we knew that he would not tempt you, we would let you go, but we fear that he will tempt you and you will follow him. He refuses except to go to him. He sets out until he reaches the nearest of his outposts. They seize him and ask him: What is his matter? Where does he intend to go? He says: I want the lying Dajjal. They say: You say that? They write to him: We have seized a man who says such-and-such. Shall we kill him or send him to you? He says: Send him to me. They take him to him. When he sees him, he recognizes him by the description of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He says to him: You are the lying Dajjal whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ warned us about. The Dajjal says to him: You say that? You will obey me in what I command you, or I will split you into two pieces. The believing servant calls out among the people: O people, this is the lying Messiah. He orders him, so he stretches his legs, then he orders an iron bar, and it is placed on his tailbone, and he splits him into two pieces. Then the Dajjal says to his allies: Do you see that if I revive this one for you, will you not know that I am your Lord? They say: Yes. He takes a staff and strikes one of his halves or the ground with it, and he stands upright. When his allies see that, they believe him, love him, and are certain that he is their Lord, and they follow him. The Dajjal says to the believing servant: Will you not believe in me? He says: I am now more clear-sighted about you than before. Then he calls out among the people: O people, this is the lying Messiah. Whoever obeys him is in the Fire, and whoever disobeys him is in Paradise. The Dajjal says: You will obey me or I will slaughter you. He says: By Allah, I will never obey you. You are indeed the liar. He orders him, so he is laid down and he orders him to be slaughtered, but he cannot do it. He is not given power over him except once. He takes him by his hands and feet, and he is thrown into the fire, which is without smoke. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: That man is the closest of my nation to me and the highest of them in rank. Abu Sa'id ؓ said: I said: How will he perish? He said: Allah knows best. I said: Will 'Isa son of Maryam ﷺ destroy him? He said: Allah knows best, but Allah Almighty will destroy him and those with him. I said: What will happen after him? He said:

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ: يَا عُمَرُ، كَيْفَ بِكَ إِذَا أَنْتَ مِتَّ، فَقَاسُوا لَكَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَذْرُعٍ وَشِبْرًا فِي ذِرَاعٍ وَشِبْرٍ، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَيْكَ فَغَسَّلُوكَ وَكَفَّنُوكَ وَحَنَّطُوكَ، ثُمَّ احْتَمَلُوكَ حَتَّى يَضَعُوكَ فِيهِ، ثُمَّ هَيَّلُوا عَلَيْكَ التُّرَابَ، فَإِذَا انْصَرَفُوا عَنْكَ أَتَاكَ فَتَّانَا الْقَبْرِ: مُنْكَرٌ وَنَكِيرٌ، أَصْوَاتُهُمَا كَالرَّعْدِ الْقَاصِفِ، وَأَبْصَارُهُمَا مِثْلُ الْبَرْقِ الْخَاطِفِ، فَتَلْتَلَاكَ وَثَرْثَرَاكَ، وَهَوَّلَاكَ، فَكَيْفَ بِكَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يَا عُمَرُ ؟ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَمَعِيَ عَقْلِي ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ ؓ: إِذًا أَكْفِيكَهُمَا

إِذَا حُشِرَ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، قَامُوا أَرْبَعِينَ، عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمُ الشَّمْسُ، شَاخِصَةً أَبْصَارُهُمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، يَنْتَظِرُونَ الْفَصْلَ كُلُّ بَرٍّ مِنْهُمْ وَفَاجِرٍ، لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ مِنْهُمْ بَشَرٌ، ثُمَّ يُنَادِي مُنَادٍ: أَلَيْسَ عَدْلًا مِنْ رَبِّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ وَصَوَّرَكُمْ، وَرَزَقَكُمْ، ثُمَّ عَبَدْتُمْ غَيْرَهُ، أَنْ يُوَلِّيَ كُلَّ قَوْمٍ مَا تَوَلَّوْا ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: بَلَى، فَيُنَادِي بِذَلِكَ مَلَكٌ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ يَمْثُلُ لِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ آلِهَتُهُمُ الَّتِي كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَهَا، فَيَتَّبِعُونَهَا، حَتَّى تُورِدَهُمُ النَّارَ، فَيَبْقَى الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُنَافِقُونَ، فَيَخِرُّ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ سُجَّدًا، وَتُدْمَجُ أَصْلَابُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ، فَتَكُونُ عَظْمًا وَاحِدًا، كَأَنَّهَا صَيَاصِي الْبَقَرِ، وَيَخِرُّونَ عَلَى أَقْفِيَتِهِمْ، فَيَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالَى لَهُمُ: ارْفَعُوا رُؤُوسَكُمْ إِلَى نُورِكُمْ بِقَدْرِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ، فَيَرْفَعُ الرَّجُلُ رَأْسَهُ، وَنُورُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلُ الْجَبَلِ، وَيَرْفَعُ الرَّجُلُ رَأْسَهُ وَنُورُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلُ الْقَصْرِ، وَيَرْفَعُ الرَّجُلُ رَأْسَهُ وَنُورُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلُ الْبَيْتِ، حَتَّى ذَكَرَ مِثْلَ الشَّجَرَةِ، فَيَمْضُونَ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ كَالْبَرْقِ وَكَالرِّيحِ، وَكَحُضْرِ الْفَرَسِ، وَكَاشْتِدَادِ الرَّجُلِ، حَتَّى يَبْقَى آخِرُ النَّاسِ نُورُهُ عَلَى إِبْهَامِ رِجْلِهِ مِثْلُ السِّرَاجِ، فَأَحْيَانًا يُضِيءَ لَهُ، وَأَحْيَانًا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ، فَتَشَعَّبُ مِنْهُ النَّارُ، فَلَا يَزَالُ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ، فَيَقُولُ: مَا يَدْرِي مَا نَجَا مِنْهُ غَيْرِي، وَلَا أَصَابَ أَحَدٌ مِثْلَ مَا أَصَبْتُ، إِنَّمَا أَصَابَنِي حَرُّهَا وَنَجَوْتُ مِنْهَا، قَالَ: فَيُفْتَحُ لَهُ بَابٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ، أَدْخِلْنِي هَذَا، فَيَقُولُ: عَبْدِي لَعَلِّي إِنْ أَدْخَلْتُكَ تَسْأَلْنِي غَيْرَهُ، قَالَ: فَيُدْخِلُهُ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَعْجَبُ بِمَا هُوَ فِيهِ، إِذْ فُتِحَ لَهُ بَابٌ آخَرُ، فَيُسْتَحْقَرُ فِي عَيْنِهِ الَّذِي هُوَ فِيهِ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ، أَدْخِلْنِي هَذَا، فَيَقُولُ: أَوَلَمْ تَزْعُمْ أَنَّكَ لَا تَسْأَلُنِي غَيْرَهُ ؟ فَيَقُولُ: وَعِزَّتِكَ وَجَلَالِكَ، لَئِنْ أَدْخَلْتَنِيهِ لَا أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهُ، قَالَ: فَيُدْخِلُهُ حَتَّى يُدْخِلَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ أَبْوَابٍ، كُلُّهَا يَسْأَلُهَا، ثُمَّ يَسْتَقْبِلُهُ رَجُلٌ مِثْلُ النُّورِ، فَإِذَا رَآهُ هَوَى، فَسَجَدَ لَهُ، فَيَقُولُ: مَا شَأْنُكَ ؟ فَيَقُولُ: أَلَسْتَ بِرَبِّي ؟ فَيَقُولُ: إِنَّمَا أَنَا قَهْرَمَانٌ، لَكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَلْفُ قَهْرَمَانٍ عَلَى أَلْفِ قَصْرٍ، بَيْنَ كُلِّ قَصْرَيْنِ مَسِيرَةُ أَلْفِ سَنَةٍ، يُرَى أَقْصَاهَا كَمَا يُرَى أَدْنَاهَا، ثُمَّ يُفْتَحُ لَهُ بَابٌ مِنْ زَبَرْجَدَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ، فِيهَا سَبْعُونَ بَابًا، فِي كُلِّ بَابٍ مِنْهَا أَزْوَاجٌ وَسُرُرٌ وَمَنَاصِفُ، فَيَقْعُدُ مَعَ زَوْجَتِهِ، فَتُنَاوِلُهُ الْكَأْسَ، فَتَقُولُ: لَأَنْتَ مُنْذُ نَاوَلْتُكَ الْكَأْسَ أَحْسَنُ مِنْكَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ بِسَبْعِينَ ضِعْفًا، عَلَيْهَا سَبْعُونَ حُلَّةً، أَلْوَانُهَا شَتَّى، يُرَى مُخُّ سَاقِهَا، وَيَلْبَسُ الرَّجُلُ ثِيَابَهُ عَلَى كَبِدِهَا، وَكَبِدُهَا مِرْآتُهُ. هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ مُتَّصِلٌ رِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ.
✧ When people are gathered on the Day of Resurrection, they will stand for forty, with the sun above their heads, their eyes staring at the sky, awaiting the judgment, every righteous and wicked among them, none of them speaking. Then a caller will call out: Is it not justice from your Lord who created you, formed you, and provided for you, and then you worshipped other than Him, that He should assign every people to what they turned to? They will say: Yes. Then an angel will call out with that three times. Then the deities that each people used to worship will appear before them, and they will follow them until they lead them to the Fire. Then the believers and the hypocrites will remain. The believers will fall down in prostration, and the backs of the hypocrites will be fused, becoming a single bone like the horns of cattle, and they will fall on their backs. Then Allah, Exalted is He, will say to them: Raise your heads to your light, according to the measure of your deeds. So a man will raise his head and his light before him like a mountain, and a man will raise his head and his light before him like a palace, and a man will raise his head and his light before him like a house, until He mentioned like a tree. Then they will pass over the bridge like lightning and like the wind and like the running of a horse and like the hastening of a man, until the last of people remains, whose light is on the big toe of his foot like a lamp. Sometimes it shines for him and sometimes it dims, and the Fire takes branches from him. He will remain thus until he crosses. Then he will say: He does not know who has been saved from it besides me, and no one has suffered what I have suffered; its heat afflicted me and I was saved from it. He said: Then a gate of Paradise will be opened for him, and he will say: O Lord, admit me into this. He will say: My servant, perhaps if I admit you, you will ask Me for other than it. He said: Then He admits him. While he is marveling at what he is in, another gate is opened for him, and what he is in becomes insignificant in his eyes. He will say: O Lord, admit me into this. He will say: Did you not claim that you would not ask Me for other than it? He will say: By Your might and majesty, if You admit me into it, I will not ask You for other than it. He said: Then He admits him until He admits him through four gates, all of which he asks for. Then a man like light will face him. When he sees him, he will fall down and prostrate to him. He will say: What is your matter? He will say: Are you not my Lord? He will say: I am only a steward. You have in Paradise a thousand stewards over a thousand palaces, between every two palaces a journey of a thousand years, the farthest of them seen as the nearest is seen. Then a gate of green chrysolite is opened for him, containing seventy gates, in each gate spouses, couches, and attendants. He will sit with his wife, and she will hand him the cup and say: You are, since I handed you the cup, seventy times more handsome than you were before. Upon her are seventy garments of various colors, the marrow of her shin is seen, and the man wears his clothes upon her liver, and her liver is his mirror. This is a sound, connected chain whose men are trustworthy.

إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ آخِرَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَجُوزُ الصِّرَاطَ، رَجُلٌ يَتَلَوَّى عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ كَالْغُلَامِ حِينَ يُقَرِّبُهُ أَبُوهُ، تَزِلُّ يَدُهُ مَرَّةً، فَتُصِيبُهَا النَّارُ، وَتَزِلُّ رِجْلُهُ مَرَّةً، فَتُصِيبُهَا النَّارُ، قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ لَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ بَعَثَكَ اللهُ تَعَالَى فِي مَقَامِكَ هَذَا فَمَشَيْتَ سَوِيًّا، أَتُخْبِرُنَا بِكُلِّ عَمَلٍ عَمِلْتَهُ ؟ قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: إِي وَعِزَّتِهِ لَا أَكْتُمُ مِنْ عَمَلِي شَيْئًا، قَالَ: فَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ: قُمْ فَامْشِ سَوِيًّا، فَيَقُومُ، فَيَمْشِي حَتَّى يُجَاوِزَ الصِّرَاطَ، فَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ
✧ I know the last man of my nation to cross the bridge: a man who writhes on the bridge like a boy when his father brings him near; his hand slips once, and the Fire touches it, and his foot slips once, and the Fire touches it. He said: Then the angels say to him: Have you considered if Allah, Exalted is He, raises you in this place of yours and you walk upright, will you tell us of every deed you did? He said: Then he says: Yes, by His might, I will not conceal any of my deeds. He said: Then they say to him: Arise and walk upright. So he arises and walks until he crosses the bridge, then they say to him.

إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ آخِرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ دُخُولًا الْجَنَّةَ، رَجُلٌ كَانَ يَسْأَلُ اللهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يُزَحْزِحَهُ عَنِ النَّارِ، حَتَّى إِذَا دَخَلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ، وَأَهْلُ النَّارِ النَّارَ، كَانَ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: أَيْ رَبِّ ! أَدْنِنِي مِنْ بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَقِيلَ: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، أَلَمْ تَسْأَلْ أَنْ تُزَحْزَحَ عَنِ النَّارِ ؟ فَقَالَ: يَا رَبِّ وَمَنْ مِثْلُكَ ؟ أَدْنِنِي مِنْ بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَيُدْنَى مِنْهَا، فَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى شَجَرَةٍ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَبِّ أَدْنِنِي مِنْهَا أَسْتَظِلُّ بِظِلِّهَا، وَآكُلُ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا، فَقَالَ - جَلَّ وَعَلَا: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ ! أَلَمْ تَقُلْ ؟ قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ ! وَمَنْ مِثْلُكَ، فَأَدْنِنِي مِنْهَا، فَرَأَى أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَبِّ، أَدْنِنِي مِنْهَا، فَقَالَ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، أَلَمْ تَقُلْ ؟ قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ وَمَنْ مِثْلُكَ ؟ فَأَدْنِنِي، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: اعْدُ، فَلَكَ مَا بَلَغَتْهُ قَدَمَاكَ وَرَأَتْهُ عَيْنَاكَ، قَالَ: فَيَعْدُو، حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَّحَ - يَعْنِي أَعْيَا - قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ هَذَا لِي وَهَذَا ؟ فَيَقُولُ: لَكَ مِثْلُهُ وَأَضْعَافُهُ، فَيَقُولُ: قَدْ رَضِيَ عَنِّي رَبِّي، فَلَوْ أَذِنَ لِي فِي كِسْوَةِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَطَعَامِهِمْ لَأَوْسَعْتُهُمْ
✧ Indeed, I know the last of the people of Paradise to enter Paradise: a man who kept asking Allah, the Exalted, to keep him away from the Fire, until when the people of Paradise had entered Paradise and the people of the Fire had entered the Fire, he remained between that. He said, 'O Lord, bring me near to the gate of Paradise.' It was said, 'O son of Adam, did you not ask to be kept away from the Fire?' He said, 'O Lord, who is like You? Bring me near to the gate of Paradise.' So he was brought near to it, and he looked at a tree near the gate of Paradise and said, 'O Lord, bring me near to it so that I may shade myself with its shade and eat of its fruit.' He, Majestic and Exalted, said, 'O son of Adam, did you not say [such-and-such]?' He said, 'O Lord, who is like You? Then bring me near to it.' Then he saw something better than that and said, 'O Lord, bring me near to it.' He, majestic is His majesty, said, 'O son of Adam, did you not say [such-and-such]?' He said, 'O Lord, who is like You? Then bring me near.' It was said to him, 'Run, and you shall have whatever your feet reach and your eyes see.' He said, 'So he ran until he became exhausted' – meaning he became tired – and said, 'O Lord, is this mine and this?' He will say, 'You shall have the like of it and multiples of it.' He will say, 'My Lord is pleased with me. If He permitted me to clothe the people of Paradise and feed them, I would do so generously.'

جَلَسْنَا إِلَى جَنْبِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ ؓ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: يَبْلُغُ الْعَرَقُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنَ النَّاسِ، قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا: إِلَى شَحْمَةِ أُذُنِهِ، وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: إِلَى أَنْ يُلْجِمَهُ الْعَرَقُ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ: هَكَذَا. وَوَصَفَ أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، فَأَمَرَّ إِصْبَعَهُ مِنْ شَحْمَةِ أُذُنِهِ إِلَى فِيهِ، هَذَا وَذَاكَ سَوِيٌّ

يُحْشَرُ النَّاسُ حُفَاةً، عُرَاةً، غُرْلًا، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ: وَالنِّسَاءُ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَتْ: وَاسَوْأَتَاهُ، فَقَالَ ﷺ: وَمِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ عَجِبْتِ يَا بِنْتَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؟ قَالَتْ: عَجِبْتُ مِنْ حَدِيثِكَ، يَنْظُرُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ، قَالَ: فَضَرَبَ ﷺ عَلَى مَنْكِبِهَا، وَقَالَ: يَا بِنْتَ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ، قَدْ شُغِلَ النَّاسُ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّظَرِ، وَتَسْمُو أَبْصَارُهُمْ إِلَى فَوْقِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، لَا يَأْكُلُونَ، وَلَا يَشْرَبُونَ، شَاخِصِينَ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ، فِيهِمْ مَنْ يَبْلُغُ الْعَرَقُ قَدَمَيْهِ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَبْلُغُ سَاقَيْهِ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَبْلُغُ بَطْنَهُ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُلْجِمُهُ الْعَرَقُ مِنْ طُولِ الْوُقُوفِ، ثُمَّ يَرْحَمُ اللهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْعِبَادَ، فَيَأْمُرُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ، فَيَحْمِلُونَ عَرْشَهُ مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ بَيْضَاءَ، لَمْ يُسْفَكْ عَلَيْهَا دَمٌ، وَلَمْ يُعْمَلْ فِيهَا خَطِيئَةٌ، كَأَنَّهَا الْفِضَّةُ الْبَيْضَاءُ، ثُمَّ تَقُومُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَافِّينَ مِنْ حَوْلِ الْعَرْشِ، وَذَلِكَ أَوَّلُ يَوْمٍ نَظَرَتْ فِيهِ عَيْنٌ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ثُمَّ يَأْمُرُ مُنَادِيًا، فَيُنَادِي بِصَوْتٍ يَسْمَعُهُ الثَّقَلَانُ: الْجِنُّ، وَالْإِنْسُ: أَيْنَ فُلَانُ ابْنُ فُلَانٍ ؟ فَيَشْرَئِبُّ لِذَلِكَ، وَيَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَوْقِفِ، فَيُعَرِّفُهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى النَّاسَ، ثُمَّ يُقَالُ: تَخْرُجُ مَعَهُ حَسَنَاتُهُ، فَيُعَرِّفُ اللهُ تَعَالَى أَهْلَ الْمَوْقِفِ تِلْكَ الْحَسَنَاتِ، فَإِذَا وَقَفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينِ، قِيلَ: أَيْنَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَظَالِمِ ؟ فَيَجِيئُونَ رَجُلًا رَجُلًا، فَيُقَالُ: أَظَلَمْتَ فُلَانًا كَذَا وَكَذَا ؟ فَيَقُولُ: نَعَمْ يَا رَبِّ، فَذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُمْ وَأَيْدِيهِمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ، فَتُؤْخَذُ حَسَنَاتُهُ، فَتُدْفَعُ إِلَى مَنْ ظَلَمَهُ يَوْمَ لَا دِرْهَمٌ وَلَا دِينَارٌ، إِلَّا أَخْذٌ مِنَ الْحَسَنَاتِ، وَرَدٌّ مِنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ، فَلَا يَزَالُ أَهْلُ الْمَظَالِمِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى لَهُ حَسَنَةٌ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ مَنْ بَقِيَ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَأْخُذْ شَيْئًا، فَيَقُولُونَ: مَا بَالُ غَيْرِنَا، اسْتَوْفَى وَبَقِينَا ؟ فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ: لَا تَعْجَلُوا، يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ، فَتُرَدُّ عَلَيْهِ، حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ ظُلِمَ بِمَظْلَمَةٍ، فَيُعَرِّفُ اللهُ تَعَالَى أَهْلَ الْمَوْقِفِ أَجْمَعِينَ ذَلِكَ، فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ، قِيلَ: ارْجِعْ إِلَى أُمِّكَ الْهَاوِيَةِ، لَا ظُلْمَ الْيَوْمَ، إِنَّ اللهَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ، فَلَا بَقِيَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَلَكٌ وَلَا نَبِيُّ مُرْسَلٌ وَلَا صِدِّيقٌ وَلَا شَهِيدٌ وَلَا بَشَرٌ، إِلَّا ظَنَّ بِمَا رَأَى مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْعَذَابِ أَنَّهُ لَا يَنْجُو، إِلَّا مَنْ عَصَمَهُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
✧ The people will be gathered barefoot, naked, and uncircumcised. 'A'ishah ؓ said: "And the women, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you?" He said: "Yes." She said: "What a disgrace!" The Prophet ﷺ said: "And what did you find astonishing, O daughter of Abu Bakr?" She said: "I was astonished by your statement, that they will look at one another." He said: "Then the Prophet ﷺ struck her shoulder and said: 'O daughter of Abu Quhafah, the people on that day will be preoccupied from looking, and their eyes will be raised upward for forty years. They will neither eat nor drink, staring with their eyes. Among them will be one whose sweat reaches his feet, and among them one whose sweat reaches his shins, and among them one whose sweat reaches his belly, and among them one whom sweat bridles due to the length of standing. Then after that Allah will have mercy upon the servants, and He will command the near angels, and they will carry His throne from the heavens to a white earth upon which no blood has been shed and no sin has been committed, as if it were white silver. Then the angels will stand surrounding the throne, and that is the first day on which an eye looked at Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Then He will command a caller, and he will call with a voice that the two heavy ones hear—the jinn and mankind: "Where is so-and-so son of so-and-so?" So they will crane their necks for that, and he will come out from the standing place, and Allah, Exalted, will make him known to the people. Then it will be said: "His good deeds come forth with him." So Allah, Exalted, will make those good deeds known to the people of the standing place. When he stands before the Lord of the worlds, it will be said: "Where are the people of grievances?" They will come one by one, and it will be said: "Did you wrong so-and-so in such-and-such a way?" He will say: "Yes, my Lord." That is the day when their tongues, their feet, and their hands will testify against them for what they used to earn. So his good deeds will be taken and given to the one he wronged, on a day when there is no dirham and no dinar—only taking from good deeds and returning from evil deeds. The people of grievances will continue to take from his good deeds until no good deed remains for him. Then those who remain and have not taken anything will stand and say: "What about us? Others have taken their due and we remain." It will be said to them: "Do not be hasty. It will be taken from their evil deeds and given to him, until no one remains who was wronged with any grievance." So Allah, Exalted, will make that known to all the people of the standing place. When his good deeds are exhausted, it will be said: "Return to your mother, the abyss. There is no injustice today. Surely Allah is swift in reckoning." On that day, no angel, no sent prophet, no truthful one, no martyr, and no human being will remain except that he will think, due to the severity of the punishment he sees, that he will not be saved, except those whom Allah, Mighty and Majestic, protects.

إِذَا جَمَعَ اللهُ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، جَاءَ مُنَادٍ يُنَادِي بِصَوْتٍ يُسْمِعُ جَمِيعَ الْخَلَائِقِ: سَيَعْلَمُ أَهْلُ الْجَمْعِ الْيَوْمَ مَنْ أَوْلَى بِالْكَرَمِ، ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فَيُنَادِي: لِيَقُمِ الَّذِينَ كَانَتْ: تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ الْآيَةَ فَيَقُومُونَ وَهُمْ قَلِيلٌ، ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فَيُنَادِي: أَيْنَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا: لا تُلْهِيهِمْ تِجَارَةٌ وَلا بَيْعٌ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ الْآيَةَ، فَيَقُومُونَ وَهُمْ قَلِيلٌ، ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فَيُنَادِي: لِيَقُمِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَحْمَدُونَ فِي السَّرَّاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ، فَيَقُومُونَ وَهُمْ قَلِيلٌ، ثُمَّ يُحَاسَبُ سَائِرُ النَّاسِ
✧ When Allah gathers the first and the last on the Day of Resurrection, a caller will come and call with a voice that all creation hears: "The people of the gathering will know today who is most deserving of honor." Then he will return and call: "Let those stand whose sides forsake their beds [Surah al-Sajdah:16]." They will stand, and they are few. Then he will return and call: "Where are those whom neither trade nor sale diverts from the remembrance of Allah [Surah al-Nur:37]?" They will stand, and they are few. Then he will return and call: "Let those stand who used to praise Allah in prosperity and adversity." They will stand, and they are few. Then the rest of the people will be brought to account.

تَأْكُلُ الْأَرْضُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ إِلَّا عَجْبَ ذَنَبِهِ، قِيلَ: وَمِثْلُ مَا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: مِثْلُ حَبَّةِ الْخَرْدَلِ مِنْهُ يَنْبُتُونَ
✧ The earth will consume everything of the human being except the coccyx bone. It was said: "And what is it like, O Messenger of Allah?" He ﷺ said: "Like a mustard seed; from it they will grow."

إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ مُدَّتِ الْأَرْضُ مَدَّ الْأَدِيمِ فِي سَعَتِهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَجَمِيعُ الْخَلَائِقِ بِصَعِيدٍ وَاحِدٍ جِنِّهِمْ وِإِنْسِهِمْ، فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ قُيِّضَتْ هَذِهِ السَّمَاءُ الدُّنْيَا عَنْ أَهْلِهَا، فَيُنْثَرُونَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ، فَلَأَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ وَحْدَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وِجِنِّهِمْ وَإِنْسِهِمْ بِالضِّعْفِ، فَإِذَا نُثِرُوا عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ، فَزِعَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَهْلُ الْأَرْضِ، وَقَالُوا: فِيكُمْ رَبُّنَا ؟ فَيَفْزَعُونَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِمْ، يَقُولُونَ: سُبْحَانَ رَبِّنَا لَيْسَ هُوَ فِينَا، وَهُوَ آتٍ، ثُمَّ يُقْبَضُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ الثَّانِيَةِ، فَلَأَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَحْدَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ بِالضِّعْفِ، فَإِذَا نُثِرُوا عَلَى أَهْلِ وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ فَزِعَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَهْلُ الْأَرْضِ، وَقَالُوا: فِيكُمْ رَبُّنَا ؟ فَيَفْزَعُونَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِمْ، وَيَقُولُونَ: سُبْحَانَ رَبِّنَا لَيْسَ فِينَا، وَهُوَ آتٍ، ثُمَّ تُقَاضُ السَّمَاوَاتُ كُلُّهَا، فَتُضَعَّفُ كُلُّ سَمَاءٍ عَلَى السَّمَاءِ الَّتِي تَحْتَهَا وَجَمِيعِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ، كُلَّمَا نُثِرُوا عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ، فَزِعَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَهْلُ الْأَرْضِ، وَيَقُولُونَ لَهُمْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، وَيَرْجِعُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ تُقَاضُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّابِعَةِ، فَلَأَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلًا مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ السِّتِّ، وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ بِالضِّعْفِ، فَيَجِيءُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فِيهِمْ، وَالْأُمَمُ جُثًا صُفُوفًا، فَيُنَادِي مُنَادٍ: سَتَعْلَمُونَ الْيَوْمَ مَنْ أَصْحَابُ الْكَرَمِ، لِيَقُمِ الْحَمَّادُونَ رَبَّهُمْ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ، فَيَسْرَحُونَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، ثُمَّ يُنَادِي ثَانِيَةً: سَيَعْلَمُونَ الْيَوْمَ مَنْ أَصْحَابُ الْكَرَمِ، لِيَقُمِ الَّذِينَ: تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ الْآيَةَ، فَيَقُومُونَ فَيَسْرَحُونَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، ثُمَّ يُنَادِي ثَالِثَةً: لِيَقُمِ الَّذِينَ رِجَالٌ لا تُلْهِيهِمْ تِجَارَةٌ وَلا بَيْعٌ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ الْآيَةَ، فَيَقُومُونَ فَيَسْرَحُونَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، فَإِذَا أَخَذَ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ ثَلَاثَةً، خَرَجَ عُنُقٌ مِنَ النَّارِ، فَأَشْرَفَ عَلَى الْخَلَائِقِ، لَهُ عَيْنَانِ تُبْصِرَانِ، وَلِسَانٌ فَصِيحٌ، فَيَقُولُ: إِنِّي وُكِّلْتُ بِثَلَاثَةٍ، إِنِّي وُكِّلْتُ بِكُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ، فَيَلْتَقِطُهُمْ مِنَ الصُّفُوفِ لَقْطَ الطَّيْرِ حَبَّ السُّمْسُمِ، فَيَجْلِسُ بِهِمْ فِي جَهَنَّمَ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ ثَانِيَةً، فَيَقُولُ: إِنِّي وُكِّلْتُ بِمَنْ آذَى اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، ( قَالَ ) فَيَلْتَقِطُهُمْ مِنَ الصُّفُوفِ لَقْطَ الطَّيْرِ حَبَّ السُّمْسُمِ، فَيَجْلِسُ بِهِمْ فِي جَهَنَّمَ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ ثَالِثَةً، ( أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ ): فَيَقُولُ: إِنِّي وُكِّلْتُ بِأَصْحَابِ التَّصَاوِيرِ، فَيَلْتَقِطُهُمْ مِنَ الصُّفُوفِ لَقْطَ الطَّيْرِ حَبَّ السُّمْسُمِ، فَيَجْلِسُ بِهِمْ فِي جَهَنَّمَ، فَإِذَا أَخَذَ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ ثَلَاثَةً، وَمِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ ثَلَاثَةً، نُشِرَتِ الصُّحُفُ وَوُضِعَتِ الْمَوَازِينُ، وَدُعِيَ الْخَلَائِقُ لِلْحِسَابِ. هَذَا مَوْقُوفٌ، إِسْنَادُهُ حَسَنٌ.
✧ When the Day of Resurrection comes, the earth will be stretched out like leather is stretched, in its vastness such and such, and all creatures will be on one plain, their jinn and their humans. When that happens, this lowest heaven will be emptied of its inhabitants, and they will be scattered upon the face of the earth. The inhabitants of the heaven alone will be more than all the inhabitants of the earth, both jinn and humans, by double. When they are scattered upon the face of the earth, the inhabitants of the earth will be terrified of them and say: "Is our Lord among you?" They will be terrified by their words and say: "Glory be to our Lord, He is not among us, and He is coming." Then the inhabitants of the second heaven will be emptied, and the inhabitants of the second heaven alone will be more than the inhabitants of the lowest heaven and all the inhabitants of the earth, by double. When they are scattered upon the face of the earth, the inhabitants of the earth will be terrified of them and say: "Is our Lord among you?" They will be terrified by their words and say: "Glory be to our Lord, He is not among us, and He is coming." Then all the heavens will be emptied, one after another, and each heaven will be multiplied over the heaven below it and all the inhabitants of the earth. Whenever they are scattered upon the face of the earth, the inhabitants of the earth will be terrified of them and say to them the like of that, and they will reply to them the like of that. Then the inhabitants of the seventh heaven will be emptied, and the inhabitants of the seventh heaven are more numerous than the inhabitants of the six heavens and all the inhabitants of the earth, by double. Then Allah, Blessed and Exalted, will come among them, and the nations will be kneeling in rows. A caller will call: "Today you will know who are the people of honor. Let the frequent praisers of their Lord in every state stand." They will depart to Paradise. Then he will call a second time: "Today they will know who are the people of honor. Let those stand whose sides forsake their beds [Surah al-Sajdah:16]." They will stand and depart to Paradise. Then he will call a third time: "Let those stand whom neither trade nor sale diverts from the remembrance of Allah [Surah al-Nur:37]." They will stand and depart to Paradise. When He has taken these three groups, a neck will emerge from the Fire and look over the creatures. It has two seeing eyes and an eloquent tongue, and it will say: "I have been appointed over three: I have been appointed over every arrogant tyrant." It will snatch them from the rows as a bird snatches sesame seeds, and it will settle them in Hell. Then it will emerge a second time and say: "I have been appointed over those who harmed Allah and His Messenger." It will snatch them from the rows as a bird snatches sesame seeds, and it will settle them in Hell. Then it will emerge a third time—I think he said—and say: "I have been appointed over the makers of images." It will snatch them from the rows as a bird snatches sesame seeds, and it will settle them in Hell. When it has taken three from these and three from those, the records will be spread out, the scales will be set up, and the creatures will be summoned to the reckoning. This is mawquf, and its chain is hasan.

انْطَلِقْ إِلَى وَلِيِّي، فَأْتِنِي بِهِ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ جَرَّبْتُهُ بِالسَّرَّاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ، فَوَجَدْتُهُ حَيْثُ أُحِبُّ، ائْتِنِي بِهِ، فَلَأُرِيحَنَّهُ، قَالَ: فَيَنْطَلِقُ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ، وَمَعَهُ خَمْسُمِائَةٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مَعَهُمْ أَكْفَانٌ وَحَنُوطٌ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ، وَمَعَهُمْ ضَبَائِرُ الرَّيْحَانِ، أَصْلُ الرَّيْحَانَةِ وَاحِدٌ، وَفِي رَأْسِهَا عِشْرُونَ لَوْنًا، لِكُلِّ لَوْنٍ مِنْهَا رِيحٌ سِوَى رِيحِ صَاحِبِهِ، مَعَهُمُ الْحَرِيرُ الْأَبْيَضُ فِيهِ الْمِسْكُ الْأَذْفَرُ، قَالَ: فَيَجْلِسُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ، وَتَحُفُّهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ، وَيَضَعُ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ يَدَهُ عَلَى عُضْوٍ مِنْ أَعْضَائِهِ، وَيُبْسَطُ ذَلِكَ الْحَرِيرُ الْأَبْيَضُ وَالْمِسْكُ الْأَذْفَرُ مِنْ تَحْتِ ذَقْنِهِ، وَيُفْتَحُ لَهُ بَابٌ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، فَإِنَّ نَفْسَهُ لَتُعَلَّلُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ بِطُرَفِ الْجَنَّةِ، مَرَّةً بِأَزْوَاجِهَا، وَمَرَّةً بِكِسْوَتِهَا، وَمَرَّةً بِثِمَارِهَا، كَمَا يُعَلِّلُ الصَّبِيَّ أَهْلُهُ إِذَا بَكَى، وَإِنَّ أَزْوَاجَهُ لَيَنْهَسْنَهُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ انْتِهَاسًا، وَقَالَ: وَتَبْرُزُ الرُّوحُ، ( قَالَ الْبُرْسَانِيُّ: يُرِيدُ الْخُرُوجَ سُرْعَةً، لِمَا يَرَى مِمَّا يُحِبُّ )، قَالَ: وَيَقُولُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ: اخْرُجِي أَيَّتُهَا الرُّوحُ الطَّيِّبَةُ إِلَى سِدْرٍ مَخْضُودٍ، وَطَلْحٍ مَنْضُودٍ، وَظِلٍّ مَمْدُودٍ، وَمَاءٍ مَسْكُوبٍ، قَالَ: وَمَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ أَشَدُّ بِهِ لُطْفًا مِنَ الْوَالِدَةِ بِوَلَدِهَا، يَعْرِفُ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ الرُّوحَ حَبِيبٌ إِلَى رَبِّهِ، فَهُوَ يَلْتَمِسُ لُطْفَهُ تَحَبُّبًا لِرَبِّهِ، وَرِضًا لِلرَّبِّ عَنْهُ، فَتُسَلُّ رُوحُهُ كَمَا تُسَلُّ الشَّعَرَةُ مِنَ الْعَجِينِ، قَالَ: وَقَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: الَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّاهُمُ الْمَلائِكَةُ طَيِّبِينَ، وَقَالَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: فَأَمَّا إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ، قَالَ: ( رَوْحٌ ) مِنْ جَهْدِ الْمَوْتِ، وَرَيْحَانٌ يُتَلَقَّى بِهِ، ( وَجَنَّةُ نَعِيمٍ ) تُقَابِلُهُ قَالَ: فَإِذَا قَبَضَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ رُوحَهُ، قَالَ الرُّوحُ لِلْجَسَدِ: جَزَاكَ اللهُ عَنِّي خَيْرًا، فَقَدْ كُنْتَ سَرِيعًا بِي إِلَى طَاعَةِ اللهِ تَعَالَى، بَطِيئًا بِي عَنْ مَعْصِيَةِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَقَدْ نَجَيْتَ فَأَنْجَيْتَ، قَالَ: وَيَقُولُ الْجَسَدُ لِلرُّوحِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: وَتَبْكِي عَلَيْهِ بِقَاعُ الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي كَانَ يُطِيعُ اللهَ تَعَالَى فِيهَا، وَكُلُّ بَابٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ يَصْعَدُ مِنْهُ عَمَلُهُ، وَيَنْزِلُ مِنْهُ رِزْقُهُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. قَالَ: فَإِذَا قَبَضَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ رُوحَهُ أَقَامَ الْخَمْسُمِائَةِ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ عِنْدَ جَسَدِهِ، فَلَا يُقَلِّبُهُ بَنُو آدَمَ لِشِقٍّ إِلَّا قَلَّبَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ قَبْلَهُمْ، وَعَلَتْهُ بِأَكْفَانٍ قَبْلَ أَكْفَانِ بَنِي آدَمَ، وَحَنُوطٍ قَبْلَ حَنُوطِ بَنِي آدَمَ، وَيَقُومُ مِنْ بَابِ بَيْتِهِ إِلَى بَابِ قَبْرِهِ صَفَّانِ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ، يَسْتَقْبِلُونَهُ بِالِاسْتِغْفَارِ، قَالَ: فَيَصِيحُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ إِبْلِيسُ صَيْحَةً يَتَصَدَّعُ مِنْهَا عِظَامُ بَعْضِ جَسَدِهِ، وَيَقُولُ لِجُنُودِهِ: الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ كَيْفَ خَلَصَ هَذَا الْعَبْدُ مِنْكُمْ ؟ قَالَ: فَيَقُولُونَ: هَذَا الْعَبْدُ كَانَ مَعْصُومًا، قَالَ: فَإِذَا صَعِدَ الْمَلَكُ بِرُوحِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ اسْتَقْبَلَهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ فِي سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ، كُلٌّ يَأْتِيهِ بِبِشَارَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّهِ سِوَى بِشَارَةِ صَاحِبِهِ، قَالَ: فَإِذَا انْتَهَى مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ بِرُوحِهِ إِلَى الْعَرْشِ، خَرَّ الرُّوحُ سَاجِدًا، فَيَقُولُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لِمَلَكِ الْمَوْتِ: انْطَلِقْ بِرُوحِ عَبْدِي هَذَا، فَضَعْهُ فِي سِدْرٍ مَخْضُودٍ، وَطَلْحٍ مَنْضُودٍ، وَظِلٍّ مَمْدُودٍ، وَمَاءٍ مَسْكُوبٍ. قَالَ: فَإِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ جَاءَتْهُ الصَّلَاةُ، فَكَانَتْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَجَاءَهُ الصِّيَامُ فَكَانَ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، وَجَاءَهُ الْقُرْآنُ وَالذِّكْرُ فَكَانَا عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ، وَجَاءَهُ مَشْيُهُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَكَانَ عِنْدَ رِجْلِهِ، وَجَاءَهُ الصَّبْرُ فَكَانَ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْقَبْرِ، قَالَ: فَيَبْعَثُ اللهُ تَعَالَى عَذَابًا مِنَ الْعَذَابِ، فَيَأْتِيهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، فَتَقُولُ الصَّلَاةُ: وَرَاءَكَ، وَاللهِ مَا زَالَ دَائِبًا عُمُرَهُ كُلَّهُ، وَإِنَّمَا اسْتَرَاحَ الْآنَ حِينَ وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ، قَالَ: فَيَأْتِيهِ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، فَيَقُولُ الصِّيَامُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ يَأْتِيهِ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَأْسِهِ، فَيَقُولُ الْقُرْآنُ وَالذِّكْرُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ يَأْتِيهِ مِنْ عِنْدِ رِجْلِهِ فَيَقُولُ مَشْيُهُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: فَلَا يَأْتِيهِ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ يَلْتَمِسُ هَلْ يَجِدُ مَسَاغًا إِلَّا وَجَدَ وَلِيَّ اللهِ تَعَالَى قَدْ أَحَدَّ حِسَّهُ، قَالَ: فَيَنْدَفِعُ الْعَذَابُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَيَخْرُجُ، وَيَقُولُ الصَّبْرُ لِسَائِرِ الْأَعْمَالِ: أَمَّا أَنَا لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أُبَاشِرَ أَنَا بِنَفْسِي إِلَّا أَنِّي نَظَرْتُ مَا عِنْدَكُمْ، فَإِنْ عَجَزْتُمْ كُنْتُ أَنَا صَاحِبَهُ، فَأَمَّا إِذَا أَجْزَأْتُمْ عَنْهُ، فَأَنَا لَهُ ذُخْرٌ عِنْدَ الصِّرَاطِ وَالْمِيزَانِ. قَالَ: وَيَبْعَثُ اللهُ تَعَالَى مَلَكَيْنِ، أَبْصَارُهُمَا كَالْبَرْقِ الْخَاطِفِ، وَأَصْوَاتُهُمَا كَالرَّعْدِ الْقَاصِفِ، وَأَنْيَابُهُمَا كَالصَّيَاصِي، وَأَنْفَاسُهُمَا كَاللهَبِ، يَطَآنِ فِي أَشْعَارِهِمَا بَيْنَ مَنْكِبِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مَسِيرَةُ كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَدْ نُزِعَتْ مِنْهُمَا الرَّأْفَةُ وَالرَّحْمَةُ، يُقَالُ لَهُمَا: مُنْكَرٌ وَنَكِيرٌ، فِي يَدِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مِطْرَقَةٌ، لَوِ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِمَا رَبِيعَةُ وَمُضَرُ لَمْ يُقِلُّوهَا، قَالَ: فَيَقُولَانِ لَهُ: اجْلِسْ، قَالَ: فَيَسْتَوِي جَالِسًا، وَتَقَعُ أَكْفَانُهُ فِي حِقْوَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَيَقُولَانِ لَهُ: مَنْ رَبُّكَ ؟ وَمَا دِينُكَ ؟ وَمَا نَبِيُّكَ ؟ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَنْ يُطِيقُ الْكَلَامَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ، وَأَنْتَ تَصِفُ مِنَ الْمَلَكَيْنِ مَا تَصِفُ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يُثَبِّتُ اللهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الآخِرَةِ وَيُضِلُّ اللهُ الظَّالِمِينَ وَيَفْعَلُ اللهُ مَا يَشَاءُ، قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: اللهُ رَبِّي وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَدِينِي الْإِسْلَامُ الَّذِي دَانَتْ بِهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ، وَنَبِيِّي مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّينَ، قَالَ: فَيَقُولَانِ: صَدَقْتَ، قَالَ: فَيَدْفَعَانِ الْقَبْرَ فَيُوَسِّعَانِهِ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ أَرْبَعِينَ ذِرَاعًا، وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ أَرْبَعِينَ ذِرَاعًا، وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ أَرْبَعِينَ ذِرَاعًا، وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ أَرْبَعِينَ ذِرَاعًا، وَمِنْ عِنْدِ رَأْسِهِ أَرْبَعِينَ ذِرَاعًا، قَالَ: فَيُوَسِّعَانِ أَرْبَعِينَ ذِرَاعًا، ( قَالَ الْبُرْسَانِيُّ: وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ ): وَأَرْبَعِينَ تُحَاطُ بِهِ. ثُمَّ يَقُولَانِ لَهُ: انْظُرْ فَوْقَكَ، قَالَ: فَيَنْظُرُ فَوْقَهُ، فَإِذَا بَابٌ مَفْتُوحٌ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، فَيَقُولَانِ لَهُ: يَا وَلِيَّ اللهِ هَذَا مَنْزِلُكَ إِذْ أَطَعْتَ اللهَ تَعَالَى قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، إِنَّهُ يَصِلُ إِلَى قَلْبِهِ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَرْحَةٌ لَا تَرْتَدُّ أَبَدًا، ثُمَّ يُقَالُ لَهُ: انْظُرْ تَحْتَكَ، فَيَنْظُرُ تَحْتَهُ، فَإِذَا بَابٌ مَفْتُوحٌ إِلَى النَّارِ، فَيَقُولَانِ لَهُ: يَا وَلِيَّ اللهِ هَذَا مَنْزِلُكَ لَوْ عَصَيْتَ اللهَ، فَنَجَوْتَ، أَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، إِنَّهُ لَيَصِلُ إِلَى قَلْبِهِ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَرْحَةٌ لَا يَزِيدُ أَبَدًا، قَالَ: وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ: يُفْتَحُ لَهُ سَبْعَةٌ وَسَبْعُونَ بَابًا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، يَأْتِيهِ رِيحُهَا، وَبَرْدُهَا، حَتَّى يَبْعَثَهُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى. وَهَذَا الْإِسْنَادُ إِلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ تَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: يَقُولُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لِمَلَكِ الْمَوْتِ: انْطَلِقْ إِلَى عَدُوِّي فَأْتِنِي بِهِ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ بَسَطْتُ لَهُ مِنْ رِزْقِي وَسَرْبَلْتُهُ نِعْمَتِي فَأَبَى إِلَّا مَعْصِيَتِي، فَأْتِنِي بِهِ لِأَنْتَقِمَ مِنْهُ، قَالَ: فَيَنْطَلِقُ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ فِي أَكْرَهِ صُورَةٍ رَآهَا أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ قَطُّ، لَهُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ عَيْنًا، وَمَعَهُ سَفُّودٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ كَثِيرُ الشَّوْكِ، وَمَعَهُ خَمْسُمِائَةٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ، مَعَهُمْ نُحَاسٌ وَجَمْرٌ مِنْ جَمْرِ جَهَنَّمَ، وَمَعَهُمْ سِيَاطٌ مِنْ نَارٍ، لِينُهَا لِينُ السِّيَاطِ وَهِيَ نَارٌ تَأَجَّجُ، قَالَ: فَيَضْرِبُهُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ بِذَلِكَ السَّفُّودِ ضَرْبَةً تَغِيبُ أَصْلُ كُلِّ شَوْكَةٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ السَّفُّودِ فِي أَصْلِ كُلِّ شَعَرَةٍ وَعِرْقٍ وَظُفْرٍ، ثُمَّ يَلْوِيهِ لَيًّا شَدِيدًا، فَيَنْزِعُ رُوحَهُ مِنْ أَظْفَارِ قَدَمَيْهِ، فَيُلْقِيهَا فِي عَقِبَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَيُسْكَرُ عَدُوُّ اللهِ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ سَكْرَةً، فَيُرَوِّحُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ عَنْهُ، فَتَضْرِبُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَجْهَهُ وَدُبُرَهُ بِتِلْكَ السِّيَاطِ، ثُمَّ تَنْثُرُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ نَثْرَةً، فَتُنْزَعُ رُوحُهُ مِنْ عَقِبَيْهِ، فَيُلْقِيهَا فِي رُكْبَتَيْهِ، ثُمَّ يُسْكَرُ عَدُوُّ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ سَكْرَةً عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ، فَيُرَفِّهُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: فَتَضْرِبُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَجْهَهُ وَدُبُرَهُ بِتِلْكَ السِّيَاطِ، فَيَنْثُرُهُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ نَثْرَةً، فَتُنْتَزَعُ رُوحُهُ مِنْ رُكْبَتَيْهِ، فَيُلْقِيهَا فِي حِقْوَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَيُسْكَرُ عَدُوُّ اللهِ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ سَكْرَةً، فَيُرَفِّهُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ عَنْهُ، فَتَضْرِبُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَجْهَهُ وَدُبُرَهُ بِتِلْكَ السِّيَاطِ، قَالَ: فَكَذَلِكَ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ إِلَى حَلْقِهِ، فَتَبْسُطُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ النُّحَاسَ وَجَمْرَ جَهَنَّمَ تَحْتَ ذَقْنِهِ، وَيَقُولُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ: اخْرُجِي أَيَّتُهَا الرُّوحُ اللَّعِينَةُ الْمَلْعُونَةُ إِلَى سَمُومِ جَهَنَّمَ، وَظِلٍّ مِنْ يَحْمُومٍ لَا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ. قَالَ: فَإِذَا قَبَضَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ رُوحَهُ، قَالَ الرُّوحُ لِلْجَسَدِ: جَزَاكَ اللهُ عَنِّي شَرًّا، قَدْ كُنْتَ بَطِيئًا بِي عَنْ طَاعَةِ اللهِ تَعَالَى، سَرِيعًا بِي إِلَى مَعْصِيَةِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَقَدْ هَلَكْتَ وَأَهْلَكْتَ، قَالَ: وَيَقُولُ الْجَسَدُ لِلرُّوحِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، وَتَلْعَنُهُ بِقَاعُ الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي كَانَ يَعْصِي اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْهَا، قَالَ: وَيَنْطَلِقُ جُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ يُبَشِّرُونَهُ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ أَوْرَدُوا عَبْدًا مِنْ وَلَدِ آدَمَ النَّارَ، فَإِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ ضُيِّقَ عَلَيْهِ قَبْرُهُ حَتَّى تَخْتَلِفَ أَضْلَاعُهُ، وَتَدْخُلُ الْيُمْنَى فِي الْيُسْرَى، ( وَتَدْخُلُ ) الْيُسْرَى فِي الْيُمْنَى، فَيَبْعَثُ اللهُ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ أَفَاعِيَ كَأَعْنَاقِ الْإِبِلِ، يَأْخُذُونَهُ بِأَرْنَبَتِهِ، وَإِبْهَامَيْ قَدَمَيْهِ، فَتَقْرِضُهُ حَتَّى يَلْتَقِينَ فِي وَسَطِهِ، وَيَبْعَثُ اللهُ تَعَالَى بِمَلَكَيْنِ أَبْصَارُهُمَا كَالْبَرْقِ الْخَاطِفِ، وَأَصْوَاتُهُمَا كَالرَّعْدِ الْقَاصِفِ، وَأَنْيَابُهُمَا كَالصَّيَاصِي، وَأَنْفَاسُهُمَا كَاللهَبِ، يَطَآنِ فِي شُعُورِهِمَا، بَيْنَ مَنْكِبَيْ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مَسِيرَةُ كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَدْ نُزِعَتْ مِنْهُمَا الرَّأْفَةُ وَالرَّحْمَةُ، يُقَالَ لَهُمَا: مُنْكَرٌ وَنَكِيرٌ، فِي يَدِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مِطْرَقَةٌ، لَوِ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهَا رَبِيعَةُ وَمُضَرُ لَمْ يُقِلُّوهَا، قَالَ: فَيَقُولَانِ لَهُ: اجْلِسْ، قَالَ: فَيَجْلِسُ، فَيَسْتَوِي جَالِسًا، وَتَقَعُ أَكْفَانُهُ إِلَى حِقْوَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَيَقُولَانِ لَهُ: مَنْ رَبُّكَ ؟ وَمَا دِينُكَ ؟ وَمَنْ نَبِيُّكَ ؟ فَيَقُولُ: لَا أَدْرِي، فَيَقُولَانِ لَهُ: لَا دَرَيْتَ وَلَا تَلَيْتَ، قَالَ: فَيَضْرِبَانِهِ ضَرْبَةً يَطِيرُ شَرَارُهَا فِي قَبْرِهِ، ثُمَّ يَعُودَانِ، فَيَقُولَانِ لَهُ: انْظُرْ فَوْقَكَ، فَيَنْظُرُ فَإِذَا بَابٌ مَفْتُوحٌ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ، فَيَقُولَانِ لَهُ: عَدُوَّ اللهِ هَذَا مَنْزِلُكَ لَوْ كُنْتَ أَطَعْتَ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، إِنَّهُ لَيَصِلُ إِلَى قَلْبِهِ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ حَسْرَةٌ لَا يَزِيدُ أَبَدًا، قَالَ: فَيَقُولَانِ لَهُ: انْظُرْ تَحْتَكَ، فَيَنْظُرُ، فَإِذَا بَابٌ مَفْتُوحٌ إِلَى النَّارِ، فَيَقُولَانِ: عَدُوَّ اللهِ هَذَا مَنْزِلُكَ إِذْ عَصَيْتَ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، إِنَّهُ لَيَصِلُ إِلَى قَلْبِهِ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ حَسْرَةٌ وَلَا تَزِيدُ أَبَدًا. وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ: وَيُفْتَحُ لَهُ سَبْعَةٌ وَسَبْعُونَ بَابًا إِلَى النَّارِ، يَأْتِيهِ حَرُّهَا وَسَمُومُهَا، حَتَّى يَبْعَثُهُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِلَيْهَا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ عَجِيبُ السِّيَاقِ، وَهُوَ شَاهِدٌ لِكَثِيرٍ مِمَّا ثَبَتَ فِي حَدِيثِ الْبَرَاءِ ؓ الطَّوِيلِ الْمَشْهُورِ، وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا الْإِسْنَادَ غَرِيبٌ، لَا نَعْرِفُ أَحَدًا رَوَى عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ تَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ ؓ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ، وَيَزِيدُ الرَّقَاشِيُّ سَيِّئُ الْحِفْظِ جِدًّا، كَثِيرُ الْمَنَاكِيرِ، كَانَ لَا يَضْبُطُ الْإِسْنَادَ، فَيُلْزِقُ بِأَنَسٍ ؓ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ يَسْمَعُهُ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ، وَدُونَهُ أَيْضًا مَنْ هُوَ مِثْلُهُ، أَوْ أَشَدُّ ضَعْفًا. ( 216 ) وَقَدْ تَقَدَّمَ حَدِيثُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ؓ فِي الْأَشْرَاطِ. في طبعة دار العاصمة: ( يبعث )، والمثبت من إتحاف البوصيري وهو الموافق للسياق
✧ He said: "Go to My friend and bring him to Me, for I have tested him with prosperity and adversity and found him where I love. Bring him to Me, that I may give him rest." He said: "The Angel of Death will go to him, accompanied by five hundred angels. With them are shrouds and embalming perfume from Paradise, and with them are bundles of basil: the stem of each basil plant is one, and at its head are twenty colors, each color having a scent different from its companion's. With them is white silk containing pungent musk. He said: "The Angel of Death will sit at his head, and the angels will surround him. Each of them will place his hand on a limb of his body, and that white silk and pungent musk will be spread beneath his chin. A door to Paradise will be opened for him, and his soul will be soothed at that moment by the delights of Paradise—sometimes by its spouses, sometimes by its clothing, and sometimes by its fruits—just as a child's family soothes him when he cries. His spouses will be eager for him at that moment with great eagerness." He said: "The soul will emerge." (Al-Bursani said: he means to come out quickly because of what it sees of what it loves.) He said: "The Angel of Death will say: 'Come out, O good soul, to lote trees with thorns removed, and clustered plantains, and extended shade, and flowing water.'" He said: "The Angel of Death is gentler with him than a mother with her child, knowing that this soul is beloved to its Lord, so he seeks gentleness for it, out of love for its Lord and desiring the Lord's pleasure with it. So his soul will be drawn out as a hair is drawn from dough." He said: "Allah, Exalted, said: 'Those whom the angels take in a state of goodness' [Surah al-Nahl:32]. And He, Mighty and Majestic, said: 'Then if he is of those brought near, then rest and basil and a garden of bliss' [Surah al-Waqi'ah:88-89]." He said: "'Rest' from the hardship of death, and 'basil' with which he is received, and 'a garden of bliss' that faces him." He said: "When the Angel of Death takes his soul, the soul will say to the body: 'May Allah reward you well on my behalf. You were quick in me toward obedience to Allah, Exalted, and slow in me away from disobedience to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. You have been saved and you have saved.' He said: "The body will say the like of that to the soul." He said: "The places of the earth where he used to obey Allah, Exalted, will weep over him, and every gate of heaven through which his deeds ascended and his provision descended will weep for forty years." He said: "When the Angel of Death takes his soul, the five hundred angels will stay by his body. No son of Adam will turn him to one side except the angels turn him before them, and they will cover him with shrouds before the shrouds of the sons of Adam, and with embalming perfume before the embalming perfume of the sons of Adam. From the door of his house to the door of his grave, two rows of angels will stand, receiving him with prayers for forgiveness." He said: "At that, Iblis will cry out with a cry from which the bones of some of his body will crack, and he will say to his troops: 'Woe to you! How did this servant escape from you?' He said: "They will say: 'This servant was protected.'" He said: "When the angel ascends with his soul to the heaven, Jibril ﷺ will meet him with seventy thousand angels, each bringing him a glad tiding from his Lord different from his companion's." He said: "When the Angel of Death reaches the Throne with his soul, the soul will fall prostrate, and Allah, Blessed and Exalted, will say to the Angel of Death: 'Go with the soul of this servant of Mine and place it among lote trees with thorns removed, and clustered plantains, and extended shade, and flowing water.'" He said: "When he is placed in his grave, prayer will come to him and be on his right, fasting will come and be on his left, the Qur'an and remembrance will come and be at his head, his walking to prayer will come and be at his feet, and patience will come and be in a corner of the grave." He said: "Then Allah, Exalted, will send a punishment from the punishments, and it will approach him from his right, and prayer will say: 'Get back! By Allah, he was persistent all his life, and he has only now found rest when he was placed in his grave.' He said: "It will approach him from his left, and fasting will say the like of that. Then it will approach him from his head, and the Qur'an and remembrance will say the like of that. Then it will approach him from his feet, and his walking to prayer will say the like of that." He said: "The punishment will not approach him from any direction seeking a way except it will find the friend of Allah, Exalted, having blocked its path." He said: "The punishment will then retreat and leave, and patience will say to the other deeds: 'As for me, nothing prevented me from undertaking the matter myself except that I looked at what you have. If you were unable, I would be his companion. But since you have sufficed for him, I am a reserve for him at the bridge and the scale.'" He said: "Allah, Exalted, will send two angels whose eyes are like flashing lightning, whose voices are like crashing thunder, whose fangs are like cattle horns, and whose breaths are like flames. They tread in their hair, and between the shoulders of each of them is a distance of such and such. Mercy and compassion have been removed from them. They are called Munkar and Nakir. In the hand of each of them is a sledgehammer; if Rabi'ah and Mudar gathered against it, they could not lift it." He said: "They will say to him: 'Sit up.' He said: "He will sit up straight, and his shrouds will fall to his waist." He said: "They will say to him: 'Who is your Lord? What is your religion? Who is your Prophet?'" They said: "O Messenger of Allah, who can speak at that time when you describe the two angels as you describe?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "'Allah keeps firm those who believe with the firm word in this world and the Hereafter, and Allah sends astray the wrongdoers, and Allah does what He wills' [Surah Ibrahim:27]." He said: "He will say: 'Allah is my Lord alone, no partner has He. My religion is Islam, which the angels profess, and my Prophet is Muhammad ﷺ, the seal of the prophets.'" He said: "They will say: 'You have spoken the truth.'" He said: "They will push the grave and widen it: before him forty cubits, behind him forty cubits, on his right forty cubits, on his left forty cubits, and at his head forty cubits." He said: "They will widen it forty cubits." (Al-Bursani said: I think he said: "and forty cubits surrounding him.") Then they will say to him: "Look above you." He said: "He will look above him, and there will be a door opened to Paradise. They will say to him: 'O friend of Allah, this is your abode since you obeyed Allah, Exalted.'" He said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'By Him in Whose hand is my soul, at that moment a joy will reach his heart that will never turn back.' Then it will be said to him: "Look below you." He will look below him, and there will be a door opened to the Fire. They will say to him: 'O friend of Allah, this is your abode had you disobeyed Allah, but you are saved; He has deferred it for you.'" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "By Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, at that moment a joy will reach his heart that will never increase." He said: "'A'ishah ؓ said: 'Seventy-seven doors to Paradise will be opened for him, and its breeze and coolness will come to him until Allah, Blessed and Exalted, resurrects him.'" This chain goes to Anas b. Malik, from Tamim al-Dari, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "Allah, Blessed and Exalted, says to the Angel of Death: 'Go to My enemy and bring him to Me, for I have expanded My provision for him and clothed him with My favor, but he insisted on disobeying Me. Bring him to Me that I may take vengeance on him.'" He said: "The Angel of Death will go to him in the most horrible form anyone has ever seen, with twelve eyes, and with him is an iron spit with many thorns, and with him are five hundred angels. With them are copper and coals from the coals of Hell, and with them are whips of fire, their softness the softness of whips, but they are blazing fire." He said: "The Angel of Death will strike him with that spit a blow by which the base of every thorn of that spit disappears into the base of every hair, vein, and nail. Then he will twist it severely and pull his soul out from the nails of his feet and cast it into his heels." He said: "The enemy of Allah will be intoxicated at that with a swoon, and the Angel of Death will give him respite, and the angels will strike his face and back with those whips. Then the angels will shake him, and his soul will be pulled from his heels and cast into his knees." He said: "Then the enemy of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will be intoxicated at that with a swoon, and the Angel of Death will give him respite." He said: "The angels will strike his face and back with those whips, and the Angel of Death will shake him, and his soul will be pulled from his knees and cast into his waist." He said: "Then the enemy of Allah will be intoxicated at that with a swoon, and the Angel of Death will give him respite, and the angels will strike his face and back with those whips." He said: "Thus it will continue until his chest and throat, then the angels will spread the copper and coals of Hell beneath his chin, and the Angel of Death will say: 'Come out, O accursed, cursed soul, to the scorching wind of Hell, and to the shade of black smoke, neither cool nor noble.'" He said: "When the Angel of Death takes his soul, the soul will say to the body: 'May Allah reward you with evil on my behalf. You were slow in me toward obedience to Allah, Exalted, and quick in me toward disobedience to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. You have perished and caused my destruction.'" He said: "The body will say the like of that to the soul, and the places of the earth where he used to disobey Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will curse him." He said: "The troops of Iblis will go to give him glad tidings that they have brought a servant from the children of Adam to the Fire. When he is placed in his grave, his grave will be constricted until his ribs interlace, the right entering the left and the left entering the right. Allah, Exalted, will send to him serpents like the necks of camels, which will seize him by his nose and the big toes of his feet and bite him until they meet in his middle. Allah, Exalted, will send two angels whose eyes are like flashing lightning, whose voices are like crashing thunder, whose fangs are like cattle horns, and whose breaths are like flames. They tread in their hair, and between the shoulders of each of them is a distance of such and such. Mercy and compassion have been removed from them. They are called Munkar and Nakir. In the hand of each of them is a sledgehammer; if Rabi'ah and Mudar gathered against it, they could not lift it." He said: "They will say to him: 'Sit up.' He said: "He will sit up straight, and his shrouds will fall to his waist." He said: "They will say to him: 'Who is your Lord? What is your religion? Who is your Prophet?'" He will say: "I do not know." They will say to him: "May you never know and never be guided." He said: "They will strike him a blow whose sparks fly in his grave. Then they will return and say to him: 'Look above you.' He will look, and there will be a door opened from Paradise. They will say to him: 'O enemy of Allah, this is your abode had you obeyed Allah, Mighty and Majestic.'" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "By Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, at that moment a regret will reach his heart that will never increase." He said: "They will say to him: 'Look below you.' He will look, and there will be a door opened to the Fire. They will say: 'O enemy of Allah, this is your abode since you disobeyed Allah, Mighty and Majestic.'" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "By Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, at that moment a regret will reach his heart, and it will never increase." 'A'ishah ؓ said: "Seventy-seven doors to the Fire will be opened for him, and its heat and scorching wind will come to him until Allah, Blessed and Exalted, resurrects him to it." This is a hadith of astonishing context, and it is a witness to much of what is established in the long famous hadith of al-Bara' ؓ. However, this chain is strange; we know of no one who narrated from Anas, from Tamim al-Dari ؓ except through this route. Yazid al-Raqashi is very weak in memory and has many rejected narrations; he did not control the chain, so he attributed to Anas ؓ everything he heard from others. Below him also are those like him or weaker. (216) The hadith of Abu Sa'id ؓ regarding the signs of the Hour has already been mentioned. In the Dar al-Asimah edition: (he resurrects), but what is established is from Ithaf al-Busiri, which matches the context.

✧ When Allah, Exalted, gathers the people on one plain on the Day of Resurrection, the Fire will advance, one part of it mounting another, and its keepers will restrain it. It will say: "By the might of my Lord, either make way between me and my spouses, or I will cover the people in one mass." They will say: "Who are your spouses?" It will say: "Every arrogant tyrant." It will put out its tongue and snatch them from among the people and cast them into it. Then it will retreat, then advance again, one part of it mounting another, and its keepers will restrain it. It will say: "By the might of my Lord, either make way between me and my spouses, or I will cover the people in one mass." They will say: "Who are your spouses?" It will say: "Every self-conceited boaster." It will snatch them with its tongue and cast them into its interior. Then it will retreat, and Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will judge between the servants.

يُخْرِجُ اللهُ تَعَالَى قَوْمًا مِنَ النَّارِ بَعْدَمَا امْتُحِشُوا فِيهَا، وَصَارُوا فَحْمًا، فَيُلْقَوْنَ فِي نَهَرٍ عَلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ، يُسَمَّى نَهَرَ الْحَيَاةِ فَيَنْبُتُونَ فِيهَا كَمَا تَنْبُتُ الْحَبَّةُ فِي حَمِيلِ السَّيْلِ، أَوْ كَمَا تَنْبُتُ الثَّعَارِيرُ، فَيَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ، فَيُقَالَ: هَؤُلَاءِ عُتَقَاءُ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنَ النَّارِ
✧ Allah, Exalted, will bring out a people from the Fire after they have been charred in it and become like charcoal. They will be cast into a river at the gate of Paradise called the River of Life. They will sprout in it as a seed sprouts in the silt of a flood, or as mushrooms sprout. Then they will enter Paradise, and it will be said: "These are the freed ones of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, from the Fire."

✧ The most honored of Allah's creation to Him is Abu al-Qasim ﷺ. Paradise is in the heaven, and the Fire is in the earth. On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will raise the creation nation by nation and prophet by prophet until Muhammad ﷺ is the last of creation in rank. Then a bridge will be placed over Hell. Then it will be called: "Where is Muhammad and his nation?" He ﷺ will stand, and his nation, both righteous and wicked, will follow him.

✧ Allah will make Himself known to me on the Day of Resurrection, and I will prostrate with a prostration with which He will be pleased with me. Then I will praise Him with praise with which He will be pleased with me. Then I will be permitted to speak. Then my nation will pass over the Sirat, which is placed across the midst of Hell. They will pass faster than the blink of an eye and faster than an arrow, then faster than the best horses, until a man among them will come out crawling. Those are the deeds. Hell will ask for more until He places His foot in it, and parts of it will shrink back, and it will say: "Enough, enough." And I will be at the Hawd. It was said: "What is the Hawd, O Messenger of Allah?" He ﷺ said: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, its drink is whiter than milk, sweeter than honey, cooler than snow, and more fragrant than musk. Its vessels are more numerous than the stars. No person drinks from it and ever thirsts, and none is turned away from it and ever quenched."

انْطَلَقْتُ فِي وَفْدِ ثَقِيفَ، فَأَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَأَقَمْنَا بِالْبَابِ وَمَا فِي النَّاسِ أَبْغَضُ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ نَلِجُ عَلَيْهِ، فَمَا خَرَجْنَا وَفِي النَّاسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ نَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنَّا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا سَأَلْتَ رَبَّكَ مُلْكًا كَمُلْكِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ ؟ فَضَحِكَ ﷺ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَعَلَّ لِصَاحِبِكُمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ تَعَالَى أَفْضَلَ مِنْ مُلْكِ سُلَيْمَانَ، إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى لَمْ يَبْعَثْ نَبِيًّا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ دَعْوَةً، فَمِنْهُمْ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ بِهَا دُنْيَا فَأُعْطِيَهَا، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ دَعَا بِهَا عَلَى قَوْمِهِ إِذْ عَصَوْهُ فَأُهْلِكُوا بِهَا، وَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ أَعْطَانِي دَعْوَةً فَاخْتَبَأْتُهَا شَفَاعَةً عِنْدَ رَبِّي لِأُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
✧ I set out with the delegation of Thaqif, and we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We stayed at the door, and there was no one among the people more hateful to us than a man we would enter upon. Yet when we left, there was no one among the people dearer to us than a man we would enter upon. Then one of us said, 'O Messenger of Allah, why did you not ask your Lord for a kingdom like the kingdom of Sulayman b. Dawud?' He ﷺ laughed, then said: 'Perhaps your companion has with Allah, exalted be He, something better than the kingdom of Sulayman. Allah, exalted be He, did not send any prophet except that He gave him a supplication. Some of them used it to seek worldly things and were given it, and some of them supplicated with it against their people when they disobeyed him, and they were destroyed by it. And Allah, mighty and majestic be He, has given me a supplication, and I have concealed it as intercession with my Lord for my community on the Day of Resurrection.'

You have come on this day in safety, and you see what we are in. So arise and intercede for us with our Lord.' He ﷺ will say: 'I am your companion.' Then he will go out and gather the people until he reaches the gate of Paradise. He will take hold of a golden ring on the gate and knock on it. It will be said: 'Who is this?' It will be said: 'Muhammad.' Then it will be opened for him until he stands before Allah, mighty and majestic be He. He will ask permission to prostrate, and permission will be given to him. Then it will be called out: 'O Muhammad, raise your head, ask and you will be given, intercede and you will be granted intercession, and supplicate and you will be answered.'

So he trusted in Allah Most High and resolved, then he sprinkled some of his water on him and gave him the surplus. So [the worshipper] rose and they crossed the desert. He said: The one with the burden of sin will be brought to account on the Day of Resurrection and ordered to the Fire, and the angels will drive him. Then he will see the worshipper and say: 'O so-and-so, do you not recognize me?' He will say: 'Who are you?' He will say: 'I am so-and-so, the one who preferred you over myself on the day of the desert.' He will say: 'Yes, I recognize you.' Then he will say to the angels: 'Stop!' So he will be stopped, and he will come and stand, and he will call upon his Lord, saying: 'O Lord, You know the favor he did me and how he preferred me over himself. O Lord, grant him to me.'

✧ While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting, we saw him laugh until his molars appeared. Umar ؓ said to him, "What made you laugh, O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be your ransom?" He ﷺ said, "Two men from my Ummah knelt before the Lord of Might, may His majesty be exalted. One of them said, 'O Lord, take retribution for me from my brother.' Allah, Mighty and Exalted, said, 'Give your brother his due.' He said, 'O Lord, nothing of my good deeds remains.' He said, 'O Lord, then let him bear some of my burdens.'" He (the Prophet) said, "The eyes of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ overflowed with tears." Then he said, "Indeed that is a mighty day, in which people will need to have burdens carried for them. Allah, Blessed and Exalted, said to the claimant, 'Raise your eyes and look at the gardens.' He raised his head and said, 'O Lord, I see cities of silver and palaces of gold adorned with pearls. For which prophet is this? For which truthful one is this? For which martyr is this?' He said, 'This is for the one who pays the price.' He said, 'O Lord, who can possess that?' He (Allah), Majestic and High, said, 'You possess it.' He said, 'By what, O Lord?' He said, 'By pardoning your brother.' He said, 'O Lord, I have pardoned him.' Allah, Exalted, said, 'Take your brother by the hand and enter him into Paradise.'" Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said about that, "Fear Allah and make peace among yourselves, for Allah, Mighty and Exalted, will reconcile the believers on the Day of Resurrection."

And I saw in it the brother of Banu Da'da', who used to steal from the pilgrims with his hooked staff; when it was noticed, he would say, 'It got caught on my staff.'

✧ Concerning His saying, Exalted is He: 'And those who feared their Lord will be driven to Paradise in groups' (Q 39:73), until when they come to it, they find at the gate of Paradise a tree. (Ma'mar said:) From its trunk, (and al-Thawri said:) from its roots, there spring two springs. They betake themselves to one of them, and it is as if they were commanded to do so. (Ma'mar said:) They bathe in it, (and al-Thawri said:) they perform ablution from it, and after that their heads never become disheveled and their skins never change, as if they had anointed themselves with oil, and the radiance of bliss shines upon them. Then they betake themselves to the other spring and drink from it, and it purifies their insides, so that no impurity, harm, or evil remains in their bellies but that it comes out. The angels meet them at the gate of Paradise: 'Peace be upon you; you have become good, so enter it to abide eternally' (Q 39:73). And the youths meet them, like hidden pearls, like scattered pearls, telling them what Allah, Exalted is He, has prepared for them. They surround them as the youths of the people of this world surround a beloved one who returns from absence, saying, 'Receive good tidings: Allah has prepared for you such-and-such, and has prepared for you such-and-such.' Then one of those youths goes to a wife from among his wives and says, 'So-and-so has come,' using the name by which he was called in this world. Joy overwhelms her until she stands on the threshold of her door and says, 'Did you see him?' He said, 'Then he comes and looks at the foundation of his building, which is upon boulders of pearl, among green, yellow, and red of every color. Then he sits, and behold, carpets are spread out, cushions are arranged, and goblets are placed. Then he raises his head and looks at the ceiling of his building, and were it not that Allah, Exalted is He, (Ma'mar said:) had decreed that for him, and al-Thawri said: had subjected that for him, it would nearly take away his sight. It is but like lightning. Then he says, "Praise be to Allah who guided us [to this]" (Q 7:43).'

أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَسْفَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ؟ قَالُوا: بَلَى، قَالَ: رَجُلٌ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَيَتَلَقَّاهُ غِلْمَانُهُ، فَيَقُولُونَ: مَرْحَبًا بِكَ يَا سَيِّدَنَا، قَدْ آنَ لَكَ أَنْ تَؤُوبَ، قَالَ: فَتُمَدُّ لَهُ الزَّرَابِيُّ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ، فَيَرَى الْجِنَانَ، فَيَقُولُ: لِمَنْ مَا هَاهُنَا ؟ فَيُقَالُ: لَكَ، حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَهَى رُفِعَتْ لَهُ يَاقُوتَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ أَوْ زُمُرُّدَةٌ خَضْرَاءُ لَهَا سَبْعُونَ شِعْبًا، فِي كُلِّ شِعْبٍ سَبْعُونَ غُرْفَةً، فِي كُلِّ غُرْفَةٍ سَبْعُونَ بَابًا، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: اقْرَأْ وَارْقَ، قَالَ: فَيَرْتَقِي، حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَهَى إِلَى سَرِيرِ مُلْكِهِ، اتَّكَأَ عَلَيْهِ، سَعَتُهُ مِيلٌ فِي مِيلٍ، وَلَهُ عَنْهُ فُضُولٌ، يُسْعَى إِلَيْهِ بِسَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ صَحْفَةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، لَيْسَ فِيهَا صَحْفَةٌ مِنْ لَوْنِ صَاحِبَتِهَا، فَيَجِدُ لَذَّةَ آخِرِهَا كَمَا يَجِدُ لَذَّةَ أَوَّلِهَا، ثُمَّ يُسْعَى عَلَيْهِ بِأَلْوَانِ الْأَشْرِبَةِ، فَيَشْرَبُ مِنْهَا مَا يَشْتَهِي، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ الْغِلْمَانُ: ذَرُوهُ وَأَزْوَاجَهُ ( قَالَ أَبُو شِهَابٍ: أَحْسِبُ قَالَ: ) فَيَتَجَافَى عَنْهُ الْغِلْمَانُ، فَإِذَا الْحَوْرَاءُ قَاعِدَةٌ عَلَى سَرِيرِ مُلْكِهَا، فَيَرَى مُخَّ سَاقِهَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ اللَّحْمِ وَالدَّمِ، فَيَقُولُ لَهَا: مَنْ أَنْتِ ؟ فَتَقُولُ: أَنَا مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ اللَّاتِي خُبِّئْنَ لَكَ، فَيَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، لَا يَرْفَعُ بَصَرَهُ عَنْهَا، ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُ بَصَرَهُ إِلَى الْغُرَفِ فَوْقَهُ، فَإِذَا أُخْرَى أَجْمَلُ مِنْهَا، فَتَقُولُ لَهُ: أَمَّا آنَ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَنَا مِنْكَ نَصِيبٌ ؟ فَيَرْتَقِي إِلَيْهَا، فَيَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً لَا يَصْرِفُ بَصَرَهُ عَنْهَا، حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ النَّعِيمُ مِنْهُمْ كُلَّ مَبْلَغٍ، وَظَنُّوا أَنْ لَا أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُمْ، تَجَلَّى لَهُمُ الرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى، فَنَظَرُوا إِلَى وَجْهِ الرَّحْمَنِ، فَنَسُوا كُلَّ نَعِيمٍ عَايَنُوهُ حِينَ نَظَرُوا إِلَى وَجْهِ الرَّحْمَنِ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ، هَلِّلُونِي، فَيَتَجَاوَبُونَ بِالتَّهْلِيلِ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا دَاوُدُ مَجِّدْنِي كَمَا كُنْتَ تُمَجِّدُنِي فِي الدُّنْيَا، فَيُمَجِّدُ دَاوُدُ رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ. قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي شِهَابٍ: حَدِيثُ خَالِدِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ فِي ذِكْرِ الْجَنَّةِ مَرْفُوعٌ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. في طبعة دار العاصمة: ( أم ) والمثبت من مسند عبد بن حميد وإتحاف البوصيري
✧ Shall I not tell you about the lowest of the people of Paradise? They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'A man will enter from the gate of Paradise, and his servants will meet him and say: "Welcome, our master! It is time for you to return."' He said: 'Then carpets will be spread for him for forty years. Then he will look to his right and to his left and see gardens, and he will say: "For whom is what is here?" It will be said: "For you." When he finishes, a red ruby or a green emerald will be raised for him, having seventy branches, in each branch seventy rooms, in each room seventy doors. It will be said to him: "Recite and ascend." He said: 'He will ascend until he reaches the couch of his kingdom and reclines on it. Its width is a mile by a mile, and it has extra space. Seventy thousand dishes of gold will be brought to him, no dish having the same color as its companion. He will find the taste of the last dish like the taste of the first. Then drinks of various kinds will be brought to him, and he will drink as much as he desires. Then the servants will say: "Leave him and his wives." (Abu Shihab said: I think he said:) The servants will withdraw from him, and there will be a houri seated on the couch of her kingdom. He will see the marrow of her leg from behind the flesh and blood. He will say to her: "Who are you?" She will say: "I am one of the houris with large eyes who have been hidden for you." He will look at her for forty years without lifting his gaze from her. Then he will raise his gaze to the rooms above him, and there will be another more beautiful than her. She will say to him: "Is it not time that we have a share of you?" He will ascend to her and look at her for forty years without turning his gaze away from her. When the bliss has reached its utmost with them, and they think that there is nothing better than them, the Lord, Blessed and Exalted, will manifest Himself to them, and they will look at the face of the Most Merciful, and they will forget all the bliss they had witnessed when they look at the face of the Most Merciful. Then He will say: "O people of Paradise, declare My oneness!" They will respond with the declaration of oneness. Then He will say: "O Dawud, glorify Me as you used to glorify Me in the world." Dawud will glorify his Lord, Mighty and Majestic.' Ahmad b. Yunus said: I said to Abu Shihab: 'The hadith of Khalid b. Dinar about the mention of Paradise – is it marfu'?' He said: 'Yes.' In the Dar al-'Asima edition: (umm), but what is established is from the Musnad of 'Abd b. Humayd and the Ittihaf of al-Busiri.

✧ When the Day of Resurrection comes, Allah, Exalted, will separate between the people of Paradise and the people of the Fire. And when it is Monday and Thursday, pulpits of light will be placed around the Throne, and pulpits of chrysolite and ruby. The angels entrusted with them will say: 'Our Lord, for whom have You placed these pulpits?' It will be cast upon their mouths: 'For the strangers.' They will say: 'Our Lord, who are the strangers?' It will be cast upon their mouths: 'A people who loved one another for the sake of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, without having seen Him.' While they are like that, each man of them will come, knowing his seat better than one of you knows his seat in his pavilion with his wife in the abode of this world. Their nearness to the Lord, Blessed and Exalted, will be according to their ranks in Paradise. When the people are complete, the Lord, Mighty and Majestic, will say: 'My servants, My creation, My visitors, and those who loved one another for My majesty without having seen Me – feed them.' They will be fed. Then He will say: 'Give them fruit.' Then they will be brought fruit containing every desire, pleasure, and fragrant scent. Then the Lord will say: 'Give them drink.' They will be brought vessels of which it is not known whether the vessel is whiter or what is in it. Then He will say: 'Clothe them.' They will be brought fruit that cleaves the ground like the breasts of virgin women; in each fruit are seventy garments, no garment resembling its sister. Then He will say: 'Perfume them.' A wind will blow and fill them with strong musk, the like of which no human has ever smelled. Then He will say: 'Remove the cover for them.' Between Allah, Exalted, and the nearest of His creation to Him are seventy thousand veils of light. The nearest of His creation to Him, from among the angels brought near, cannot raise his head to the lowest of those veils. Then those veils will be lifted, and the people will fall prostrate because of what they see of the greatness of Allah, Exalted. The Lord, Majestic and High, will say: 'Raise your heads. You are not in the abode of action; rather, you are in the abode of blessing and abiding. You will have the like of what you are in, and its like with it. Are you pleased, My servants?' They will say: 'We are pleased, our Lord, if You are pleased with us.' Then the people will return to their dwellings, having been doubled in beauty, spouses, food, drink, and everything of their affair in that manner. While they are like that, suddenly something beside them will light up his temples with beauty, and he will say: 'Who are you?' It will say: 'I am the one of whom Allah, Exalted, said: "And with Us is more."' While they are like that, seventy thousand angels will come to each servant, with each angel a vessel unlike its companion, and upon his vessel something unlike its companion. They will consult among themselves as to which of them should be taken from. They will say: 'This, your Lord has sent with me to you, and He conveys peace to you.' He said: 'There are no two servants who became brothers for the sake of Allah, Exalted, but their dwellings face each other. The servant looks to the farthest part of his brother's dwelling, except that when they desire something of the pleasures of women, the veils are let down between them.'

✧ I came to visit the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and 'A'ishah ؓ, and he was receiving revelation. When it was lifted from him, he ﷺ said to 'A'ishah: 'Hand me my cloak.' He went out and entered the mosque, and there was a group of people in it, no other group being in the mosque. He sat in a corner of the people until the one reminding had finished his reminder. Then he recited: 'The revelation of the prostration.' The people were unable to fit in the mosque, so 'A'ishah ؓ sent to her family: 'Attend the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, for I have seen something from him I have never seen.' He said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his head, and Abu Bakr ؓ said: "You prolonged the prostration, O Messenger of Allah." He ﷺ said: "I prostrated in gratitude to my Lord for what He gave me from my nation: seventy thousand who will enter Paradise." Abu Bakr ؓ said: "O Messenger of Allah, your nation is larger and better, so ask for more for them," until he said it twice or three times. 'Umar ؓ said: "May my father and mother be your ransom, O Messenger of Allah, your nation has encompassed you."
