If I were to take a close friend, I would have taken Abu Bakr as a close friend, but the brotherhood of Islam is better. Close up every small door in the mosque except the small door of Abu Bakr."

   "I heard the Messenger of Allah say" 'Whoever spends on a pair of things in the cause of Allah, he will be called from the gates of Paradise: O slave of Allah, this is good for you. Paradise had (several) gates. Whoever is one of the people of Salah, he will be called from the gate of prayer. Whoever is one of the people of Jihad, will be called from the gate of Jihad. Whoever is one of the people of charity will be called from the gate of charity. And whoever is one of the people of fasting will be called from the gate of Ar-Rayyan." Abu Bakr said: "Is there any need for anyone to be called from all of these gates? Will anyone be called from all of them, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Yes, and I hope that you will be among them." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2439)

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ became angry until his face reddened, then said: "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, faith does not enter a man's heart until he loves you for Allah and for His Messenger." Then he said: "O people, whoever harms my uncle has harmed me. Indeed a man's uncle is the equal of his father."

    ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out with me riding behind him on his mount to one of the stone idols. We slaughtered a sheep for it and then prepared it for him. When it was cooked, we put it in our provision bag. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ proceeded riding with me behind him on a hot day of the days of Makkah, until when we were at the upper part of the valley, Zaid b. Amr b. Nufail met him. One of them greeted the other with the greeting of the Jahiliyyah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: "Why do I see your people have turned against you?" He said: "By Allah, that is not because of any trouble from me to them, but I find them upon misguidance. So I went out seeking this religion until I came to the scholars of Yathrib. I found them worshipping Allah and associating partners with Him. I said: This is not the religion I seek. So I went out until I came to the scholars of Khaybar and found them worshipping Allah and associating partners with Him. I said: This is not the religion I seek. So I went out until I came to the scholars of Fadak and found them worshipping Allah and associating partners with Him. I said: This is not the religion I seek. I went out until I came to the scholars of Aylah and found them worshipping Allah and associating partners with Him. I said: This is not the religion I seek." Then a scholar from the scholars of Syria said to me: "Do you ask about a religion of which we know no one who worships Allah by it except an old man in the Jazirah?" So I went out and came to him and told him what I had gone out for. He said: "Everyone you have seen is astray. You ask about a religion which is the religion of Allah and the religion of His angels. A prophet has appeared in your land, or is about to appear, calling to it. Return, believe in him, and follow him, and have faith in what he brings." But I did not sense any prophet yet. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made the camel he was riding kneel down, then we brought the provision bag containing the roast to him. He said: "What is this?" We said: "This is the sheep we slaughtered for such-and-such an idol." He said: "I do not eat anything slaughtered for other than Allah." Then we parted. There were two idols of brass called Isaf and Na'ilah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ circumambulated and I circumambulated with him. When I passed by it, I touched it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Do not touch it." We circumambulated, and I said to myself: I will touch it to see what he says. I touched it, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Do not touch it; have you not been forbidden?" He said: By the One who honored him and sent down the Book to him, he never touched an idol until the One who honored him and sent down the Book to him honored him. He said: Zaid b. Amr b. Nufail died before the Prophet ﷺ was sent, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "He will come on the Day of Resurrection as a nation alone."

    ✧ I bear witness concerning the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to what my ears heard and my heart retained, and I would not narrate a lie about him for which he would question me when I meet him, that he said: "Abu Bakr is in Paradise, Umar is in Paradise, Ali is in Paradise, Uthman is in Paradise, Talhah is in Paradise, al-Zubair is in Paradise, Abd al-Rahman b. Awf is in Paradise, and Sa'd b. Malik is in Paradise." And the ninth of the believers, if I wished to name him, I would name him. The people of the mosque raised their voices, urging him: "O companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who is the ninth?"

He said: "Stand, O Abu Ubaidah b. al-Jarrah." When he turned away, he said: "This is the trustworthy one of this Ummah."

Abi Talib took the banner and pressed upon the people until he was killed as a martyr; I bear witness to his martyrdom, so seek forgiveness for him. Then Abdullah b. Rawahah took the standard and planted his feet until he was killed as a martyr, so seek forgiveness for him. Then Khalid b. al-Walid took the standard, though he was not one of the commanders; he appointed himself."

     When ʿAbdullah bin Salam heard the arrival of the Prophet ﷺ at Medina, he came to him and said, "I am going to ask you about three things which nobody knows except a prophet: What is the first portent of the Hour? What will be the first meal taken by the people of Paradise? Why does a child resemble its father, and why does it resemble its maternal uncle" Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Gabriel has just now told me of their answers." ʿAbdullah said, "He (i.e. Gabriel), from amongst all the angels, is the enemy of the Jews." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The first portent of the Hour will be a fire that will bring together the people from the east to the west; the first meal of the people of Paradise will be Extra-lobe (caudate lobe) of fish-liver. As for the resemblance of the child to its parents: If a man has sexual intercourse with his wife and gets discharge first, the child will resemble the father, and if the woman gets discharge first, the child will resemble her." On that ʿAbdullah bin Salam said, "I testify that you are the Messenger of Allah." ʿAbdullah bin Salam further said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! The Jews are liars, and if they should come to know about my conversion to Islam before you ask them (about me), they would tell a lie about me." The Jews came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and ʿAbdullah went inside the house. Allah's Apostle asked (the Jews), "What kind of man is ʿAbdullah bin Salam amongst you?" They replied, "He is the most learned person amongst us, and the best amongst us, and the son of the best amongst us." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What do you think if he embraces Islam (will you do as he does)?" The Jews said, "May Allah save him from it." Then ʿAbdullah bin Salam came out in front of them saying, "I testify that None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah." Thereupon they said, "He is the evilest among us, and the son of the evilest amongst us," and continued talking badly of him. (Using translation from Bukhārī 3329)

     أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَمْ يَكَذِبْ إِلَّا فِي ثَلَاثٍ ثِنْتَيْنِ فِي ذَاتِ اللهِ قَوْلُهُ {إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ} [الصافات 89] وَقَوْلُهُ {قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ} [الأنبياء 63] هَذَا قَالَ وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَسِيرُ فِي أَرْضِ جَبَّارٍ مِنَ الْجَبَابِرَةِ إِذْ نَزَلَ مَنْزِلًا فَأَتَى الْجَبَّارَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ قَدْ نَزَلَ هَاهُنَا فِي أَرْضِكَ رَجُلٌ مَعَهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ» فَقَالَ مَا هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْكَ؟ قَالَ «هِيَ أُخْتِي» قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَأَرْسِلْ بِهَا قَالَ «فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى سَارَةَ» فَقَالَ لَهَا إِنَّ هَذَا الْجَبَّارَ سَأَلَنِي عَنْكِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَّكِ أُخْتِي فَلَا تُكَذِّبِينِي عِنْدَهُ فَإِنَّكِ أُخْتِي فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ ﷻ وَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي الْأَرْضِ مُسْلِمٌ غَيْرِي وَغَيْرَكِ فَانْطَلَقَ بِهَا وَقَامَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ يُصَلِّي فَلَمَّا دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَرَآهَا أَهْوَى إِلَيْهَا فَتَنَاوَلَهَا فَأُخِذَ أَخْذًا شَدِيدًا فَقَالَ «ادْعِي اللهَ لِي وَلَا أَضُرُّكِ فَدَعَتْ لَهُ فَأُرْسِلَ فَأَهْوَى إِلَيْهَا فَتَنَاوَلَهَا فَأُخِذَ بِمِثْلِهَا أَوْ أَشَدَّ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَأُخِذَ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَ الْمَرَّتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ وَكَفَّ» فَقَالَ «ادْعِي اللهَ لِي وَلَا أَضُرُّكِ فَدَعَتْ لَهُ فَأُرْسِلَ ثُمَّ دَعَا أَدْنَى حِجَابَهُ» فَقَالَ «إِنَّكِ لَمْ تَأْتِنِي بِإِنْسَانٍ وَلَكِنَّكَ أَتَيْتَنِي بِشَيْطَانٍ أَخْرِجْهَا وَأَعْطِهَا هَاجَرَ» قَالَ فَخَرَجَتْ وَأُعْطِيَتْ هَاجَرَ فَأَقْبَلَتْ فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بِمَجِيئِهَا انْفَتَلَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ فَقَالَ «مَهْيَمْ» فَقَالَتْ «قَدْ كَفَى اللهُ كَيْدَ الْكَافِرِ وَأَخْدَمَنِي هَاجَرَ» وَقَّفَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَوْن

     ✧ "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that Ibrahim did not lie except in three instances, two of which were concerning the attributes of Allah. One was his statement, 'Indeed, I am ill' (Surah As-Saaffat, 37:89), and the other was his statement, 'Rather, this [largest of them] has done it'(Surah Al-Anbiya, 21:63). He says this when he was journeying through the land of the tyrants and oppressors, and he stopped at a certain place. A man from the tribe of the tyrants approached him and said, 'Indeed, a man has arrived here in your land, accompanied by a woman who is among the best of people. So send [a message] to him.' Ibrahim asked, 'Who is this woman?' The man replied, 'She is my sister.' Ibrahim said, 'Go and send her to me.' He then went to Sarah and said, 'This tyrant has asked me about you, so I informed him that you are my sister. Therefore, do not deny it when we come before him, for indeed you are my sister according to the Book of Allah ﷻ, and there is no Muslim on earth except for me and you.' He then took her with him and Ibrahim stood to pray. When she entered upon him, he inclined towards her and desired her. He grabbed her forcefully, and she said, 'Invoke Allah for me, and do not harm me.' So she supplicated for him and he released her. This happened twice, and on the third time, he grabbed her even harder. He then mentioned the two previous occurrences, and she said, 'Invoke Allah for me, and do not harm me.' So she supplicated for him and he released her. He then called her closer and said, 'Indeed, you have not brought me a human being, but you have brought me a shaytan. Get out and accept (her) hajj gift.' She left, and he accepted her hajj gift. When Ibrahim felt her presence, he stopped his prayer and said, 'O Satan!' She replied, 'Allah has sufficed your adversary, and Hajar has helped me.' Abdullah ibn Awf then narrated this story."

     لَمْ يَكْذِبْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَطُّ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَ كَذَبَاتٍ ثِنْتَانِ فِي ذَاتِ اللهِ {فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِي النُّجُومِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ} [الصافات 89] وَقَوْلُهُ فِي سُورَةِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ {قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَذَا} [الأنبياء 63] قَالَ وَأَتَى عَلَى مَلِكٍ مِنْ بَعْضِ الْمُلُوكِ وَمَعَهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْهَا فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهَا أُخْتُهُ قَالَ قُلْ لَهَا «تَأْتِيَنِي أَوْ مُرْهَا أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي فَأَتَاهَا» فَقَالَ لَهَا إِنَّ هَذَا قَدْ سَأَلَنِي عَنْكِ وَإِنِّي أَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَّكِ أُخْتِي وَإِنَّكِ أُخْتِي فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ ﷻ وَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مُؤْمِنٌ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ غَيْرِي وَغَيْرَكِ وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَمَرَكِ أَنْ تَأْتِيَهُ قَالَ «فَأَتَتْ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا فَضُغِطَ» فَقَالَ ادْعِي لِي وَلَكِ أَنْ لَا أَعُودَ قَالَ «فَخُلِّيَ عَنْهُ فَعَادَ» قَالَ فَضُغِطَ مِثْلَهَا أَوْ أَشَدَّ قَالَ «ادْعِي لِي وَلَكِ أَلَّا أَعُودَ» قَالَ فَخُلِّيَ عَنْهُ فَأَمَرَ لَهَا بِطَعَامٍ وَأَخْدَمَهَا جَارِيَةً يُقَالُ لَهَا هَاجَرُ فَلَمَّا أَتَتْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ قَالَ «مَهْيَمْ» فَقَالَتْ كَفَى اللهُ كَيْدَ الْكَافِرِ الْفَاجِرِ وَأَخْدَمَ جَارِيَةً قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ «تِلْكَ أُمُّكُمْ يَا بَنِي مَاءِ السَّمَاءِ وَمَدَّ بِهَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ صَوْتَهُ»

     ✧ Ibrahim ﷺ never lied except for three lies: two of them for the sake of Allah, as in His saying: {And he cast a glance at the stars, and said: 'I am sick.'} [al-Saffat: 89], and his saying in Surat al-Anbiya': {He said: 'Rather, this, the largest of them, did it.'} [al-Anbiya': 63]. He said: And he came to a king among the kings, and with him was a woman. He asked him about her, and he told him that she was his sister. He said: Tell her to come to me, or command her to come to me. So he came to her and said to her: 'This man asked me about you, and I told him that you are my sister, and you are my sister in the Book of Allah ﷻ. And there is no believing man or believing woman on earth other than me and you. And he has commanded you to come to him.' He said: So she came, and he looked at her and was seized. He said: 'Pray for me and for yourself that I will not do it again.' He said: So he was released, but he returned. He said: So he was seized similarly, or more severely. He said: 'Pray for me and for yourself that I will not do it again.' He said: So he was released, and he ordered food for her and gave her a servant girl named Hajar. When she came to Ibrahim, he said: 'What is the matter?' She said: 'Allah has sufficed the cunning of the wicked disbeliever and gave a servant girl.' Abu Hurayrah said: 'That is your mother, O children of the water of the sky.' Ibn Awn raised his voice with it.

     عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ حِينَ رَكَضَ زَمْزَمَ بِعَقِبِهِ فَنَبَعَ الْمَاءُ فَجَعَلَتْ هَاجَرُ تَجْمَعُ الْبَطْحَاءَ حَوْلَ الْمَاءِ لِئَلَّا يَتَفَرَّقَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «رَحِمَ اللهُ هَاجَرَ لَوْ تَرَكَتْهَا لَكَانَتْ عَيْنَا مَعِينًا»

     ✧ From the Prophet ﷺ: When Jibril struck Zamzam with his heel, water gushed forth, and Hajar began to gather the pebbles around the water so that it would not spread out. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “May Allah have mercy on Hajar. Had she left it, it would have been a flowing spring.”

     ✧ From the Prophet ﷺ who said: “Jibril descended to Hajar and Ismail and struck the place of Zamzam with his heel, and water gushed forth.” He said: Hajar began to gather the pebbles around it so that the water would not spread. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “May Allah have mercy on Hajar. Had she left it, it would have been a flowing spring.” He said: I said to Abu Hammad: He does not mention Ubayy b. Ka'b nor does he raise it. He said: “I remember it like this. Ayyub narrated it to me.” Wahb said: And Hammad b. Zayd narrated to us from Ayyub from Abdullah b. Said b. Jubayr from his father from Ibn Abbas something similar, and he did not mention Ubayy nor the Prophet ﷺ. Wahb said: I came to Salam b. Abi Muti', and he narrated this hadith to me, and he narrated from Hammad b. Zayd from Ayyub from Abdullah b. Said b. Jubayr, and he rejected that strongly. Then he said to me: “What does your father say?” I said: My father says: Ayyub from Said b. Jubayr. He said: “How strange, by Allah, a man from our companions, the memorizer, has made a mistake. It is only Ayyub from Ikrimah b. Khalid.”

     ✧ "O Ibrahim, where are you going, leaving us in this valley that has no company or anything?" She said to him repeatedly, but he did not turn to her. She then asked him, "Did Allah command you to do this?" He said, "Yes." She said, "Then He will not let us perish." Then she returned, and Ibrahim set off facing the Kaaba, and he made the following supplication, raising his hands: "Indeed, I have settled my descendants in an uncultivated valley near Your sacred house, O Allah, [our Lord], that they may establish prayer. So make hearts among the people incline toward them and provide for them from the fruits that they might be grateful." (Quran 14:37) Then Ismail's mother breastfed and nursed Ismail until the water in the water-skin was depleted, causing her and her son to thirst and hunger. She disliked looking at her child in that state. She then saw Mount Safa closest to her, so she ascended it and looked to see if anyone was there. When she saw no one, she descended and walked briskly until she reached the valley, raising the edges of her dress to protect herself. She did this seven times. Ibn Abbas said: The Prophet ﷺ said, "That is why the people run between them." When she descended from Mount Marwah, she heard a voice, so she said, "Stay here, if you will" and listened again. When she heard nothing, she said, "I have heard you. If you have any means of assistance, then help us." Then she heard the sound again. She said, "Indeed, I have [now] perceived that I am being pursued." She hurried to the mountain and upon reaching it, she looked to see if anyone was there, but she found no one. She did this seven times. Ibn Abbas said: The Prophet ﷺ said, "May Allah have mercy on the mother of Ismail; if she had left the water flowing, it would have been a flowing stream." So she drank from it and nursed her child. The angel said to her, "Do not fear of being lost, for there is a house of Allah that will be constructed by this boy and his father, and Allah will never abandon them." The house was at a higher elevation than the surrounding land, like a fixed and firm mountain. Streams flowed from it on both sides. They lived in this manner until a group or a tribe passed by and saw birds circling above a specific location. They said, "There must be water there, this is the site we have been searching for." They sent someone, and behold, there was indeed water. They informed Ismail's family about it, and they settled there. Ismail grew up and learned Arabic from them.

     ✧ When there was what there was between Ibrahim and his family, he went out with Ismail and Ismail's mother, and they had an old water skin. She would drink from the water and her milk would flow upon her child. When they entered Makkah, he placed her under a large tree, then turned away to return. Ismail's mother followed his trace until she reached Kuda', she called to him: 'O Ibrahim, to whom are you leaving us?' Abu Amir said: 'To whom are you entrusting us?' He said: 'To Allah ﷻ.' She said: 'I am content with Allah.' Then she returned and would drink from the water and her milk would flow upon her child. When the water ran out, the child's thirst became severe. She said: 'If I were to go and look, perhaps I might see someone.' She stood on al-Safa and saw no one, so she descended. When she came to the valley, she lifted her garment and hastened until she came to al-Marwah and looked, and she saw no one. She did that for several rounds. Then she said: 'If I were to check on him.' She went and looked, and he was in the same state. But she refused to give up until she returned, perhaps she might see someone. She did that until she completed seven rounds. Then she said: 'If I were to check on him.' She went and looked, and he was in the same state, and she heard a sound. She said: 'I have heard. May you be answered, or may good come from you.' Abu Amir said: 'I have heard, so help.' Then it was Jibril, and he struck with his foot and water gushed forth. Ismail's mother went to dig around it. Abu al-Qasim ﷺ said: 'Had Ismail's mother left the water, it would have been flowing on the surface.' Then some people from Jurhum passed by and saw birds. They said: 'These birds are only over water.' They sent their messenger and their scout, and they came to her and said: 'Shall we stay with you?' She said: 'Yes.' So they settled with her, and Ismail ﷺ married a woman from among them. Then Ibrahim ﷺ decided to visit. He said: 'I will check on my family.' He came and asked about Ismail: 'Where is he?' They said: 'He is hunting.' They did not offer him anything. He said: 'When he comes, tell him to change the threshold of his house.' He came and she told him, so he said: 'You are that one; go to your family.' Then Ibrahim ﷺ decided again and said: 'I will check on my family.' He came to Ismail's family and said: 'Where is he?' They said: 'He went hunting.' They said to him: 'Stay and eat and drink.' He said: 'What is your food and drink?' They said: 'Our food is meat and our drink is water.' He said: 'O Allah, bless them in their food and drink.' Abu al-Qasim ﷺ said: 'It will not cease to have blessing due to the supplication of Ibrahim ﷺ.' Then Ibrahim ﷺ decided again and said: 'I will check on my family.' He came and found Ismail behind Zamzam fixing arrows for himself ﷺ. He said: 'O Ismail, your Lord ﷻ has commanded me to build a house for Him.' He said: 'Obey your Lord.' He said: 'And He has commanded me that you help me with it.' He said: Ismail ﷺ began to hand stones to Ibrahim, and they said: {Our Lord, accept from us. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing.} [al-Baqarah: 127]. When the building was raised and the old man became weak to lift the stones, he stood on the Maqam, and Ismail kept handing him the stones, and they said: {Our Lord, accept from us. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing.} [al-Baqarah: 127].

You were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he fed your hungry and admonished your ignorant, while we were in the land of enemies and those who hated us, in Abyssinia—and that was for the sake of Allah and His Messenger ﷺ. By Allah, I will not eat any food or drink any drink until I mention what you said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We were being harmed and were afraid, so I will mention that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. By Allah, I will not lie or add to it.” When the Prophet ﷺ came, she said, “O Prophet of Allah, ‘Umar said such-and-such.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “What did you say?” She said, “I said such-and-such.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “He is not more entitled to me than you. For him and his companions there is one migration, but for you, the people of the ship, there are two migrations.” She said, “I saw Abu Musa ؓ and the people of the ship coming to me in groups, asking about this hadith. There was nothing in this world that pleased them more or was greater in their own estimation than what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them.” Abu Burdah said: Asma’ said, “I saw Abu Musa, and he would ask me to repeat this hadith.”
