   أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَدَعَاهُ قَالَ فَصَلَّيْتُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ قَالَ «مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُجِيبَنِي؟» قَالَ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي قَالَ أَلَمْ يَقُلِ اللهُ ﷻ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ} [الأنفال 24] أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ أَعْظَمَ سُورَةٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ؟ قَالَ فَذَهَبَ لِيُخْرِجَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَوْلَكَ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ هِيَ السَّبْعُ الْمَثَانِيَ وَالْقُرْآنُ الْعَظِيمُ

   ✧ The Prophet ﷺ passed by him while he was praying and called him. He said: “So I prayed, then I came to him.” He said: “What prevented you from answering me?” He said: “I was praying.” He said: “Did Allah, Exalted be He, not say: {O you who believe, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life} [al-Anfal 24]? Shall I not teach you the greatest surah before I leave the mosque?” He said: “So he went to leave, and I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, your statement.’” He said: “Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds; it is the seven oft-repeated verses and the great Quran.”

   قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كُلُّ صَلَاةٍ لَمْ يُقْرَأْ فِيهَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ هِيَ خِدَاجٌ هِيَ خِدَاجٌ هِيَ خِدَاجٌ غَيْرُ تَمَامٍ» قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ إِنِّي أَكُونُ أَحْيَانًا وَرَاءَ الْإِمَامِ؟ فَغَمَزَ ذِرَاعِي وَقَالَ اقْرَأْ بِهَا يَا فَارِسِيُّ فِي نَفْسِكَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ قَسَمْتُ الصَّلَاةَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي نِصْفَيْنِ فَنِصْفُهَا لِي وَنِصْفُهَا لِعَبْدِي وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اقْرَءُوا يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ {الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ} [الفاتحة 2] يَقُولُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى حَمِدَنِي عَبْدِي يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ {الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} [الفاتحة 1] يَقُولُ اللهُ أَثْنَى عَلَيَّ عَبْدِي يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ {مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ} يَقُولُ اللهُ مَجَّدَنِي عَبْدِي يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ {إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ} [الفاتحة 5] فَهَذِهِ الْآيَةُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ {اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ} [الفاتحة 7] فَهَؤُلَاءِ لِعَبْدِي وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ

   "I heard Abu Hurairah say: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever offers a prayer in which he does not recite Umm Al-Quran (Al Fatihah), it is deficient, it is deficient, it is deficient, incomplete." I (Abu As-Sa'ib) said: 'O Abu Hurairah, sometimes I am behind the Imam.' He poked me in the arm and said: 'Recite it to yourself, O Persian! For I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Allah says: "I have divided prayer between Myself and My slave into two halves, and My slave shall have what he has asked for.'" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Recite, for when the slave says: All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of all that exists, Allah says: 'My slave has praised Me.' And when he says: The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, Allah says: 'My slave has extolled Me.' And when he says: The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection), Allah says: 'My slave has glorified Me'. And when he says: You (alone) we worship, and You (alone) we ask for help (for each and everything), He says: 'This is between Me and My slave, and My slave shall have what he has asked for.' And when he says: 'Guide us to the straight way, the way of those on whom You have bestowed Your grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray, He says: 'This is for My slave, and My slave shall have what he asked for.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 909)

   أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا قَالَ الْإِمَامُ {غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ} [الفاتحة 7] فَقُولُوا آمِينَ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ وَافَقَ قَوْلُهُ قَوْلَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ

   ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When the imam says {not of those who have earned wrath, nor of those who go astray} [al-Fatihah 7], then say ‘Amin,’ for whoever’s saying coincides with the saying of the angels, his previous sins will be forgiven.”

   بَيْنَمَا النَّاسُ بِقُبَاءَ فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ جَاءَهُمْ آتٍ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّيْلَةَ وَأُمِرَ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةَ فَاسْتَقْبِلُوهَا وَكَانَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَاسْتَدَارُوا إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ»

   While some people were offering morning prayer at Quba' a man came to them and said, "A Qur'anic Order has been revealed to Messenger of Allah ﷺ tonight that he should face the Kaʿba at Mecca (in prayer), so you too should turn your faces towards it." At that moment their faces were towards Sham (i.e. Jerusalem) (and on hearing that) they turned towards the Kaʿba (at Mecca). (Using translation from Bukhārī 4490)

   صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا وَكَانَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ نَحْوَ الْكَعْبَةِ فَكَانَ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {قَدْ نَرَى تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ قِبْلَةً تَرْضَاهَا فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ} [البقرة 144] قَالَ الْبَرَاءُ وَالشَّطْرُ فِينَا قِبَلَهُ وَقَالَ فِي قَوْلِ اللهِ تَعَالَى {لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَانَكُمْ} [البقرة 143] قَالَ مَا كَانَ اللهُ لِيُضِيعَ صَلَاةَ مَنْ مَاتَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ

   ✧ I prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ toward Jerusalem for sixteen months, and the Prophet of Allah ﷺ loved to pray toward the Kaaba. He used to raise his head toward the sky, so Allah, mighty and sublime, sent down: {We have certainly seen the turning of your face toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward the Sacred Mosque} [al-Baqarah: 144]. Al-Bara said: The direction among us is toward it. And regarding Allah's saying: {So He would not let your faith be lost} [al-Baqarah: 143], he said: Allah would not let the prayer of one who died while praying toward Jerusalem be lost.

   كُنَّا نَغْدُوا لِلْسُوقِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَمُرُّ عَلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَنُصَلِّي فِيهِ فَمَرَرْنَا يَوْمًا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَاعِدٌ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقُلْتُ لَقَدْ حَدَثَ أَمْرٌ فَجَلَسْتُ فَقَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ {قَدْ نَرَى تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ} [البقرة 144] حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنَ الْآيَةِ قُلْتُ لِصَاحِبِي تَعَالَ نَرْكَعُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ صَلَّى فَتَوَارَينَا فَصَلَّيْنَا ثُمَّ نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى لِلنَّاسِ الظُّهْرَ يَوْمَئِذٍ

   ✧ We used to go to the market in the morning during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and we would pass by the mosque and pray in it. One day we passed by while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting on the minbar. I said, 'Something has happened.' I sat down, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited: {We have certainly seen the turning of your face toward the heaven} [al-Baqarah: 144] until he finished the verse. I said to my companion, 'Come, let us pray two rak'ahs before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ descends, so that we will be the first to pray.' We hid ourselves and prayed, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ descended and led the people in the Zuhr prayer that day.

   لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ} [البقرة 184] كَانَ مَنْ أَرَادَ مِنَّا أَنْ يُفْطِرَ وَيَفْتَدِيَ حَتَّى نَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا فَنَسَخَتْهَا

   ✧ When this verse was revealed: {And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] is a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person} [al-Baqarah: 184], whoever of us wanted would break the fast and pay the ransom, until the verse that comes after it was revealed and abrogated it.

   فِي قَوْلِهِ {وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ} [البقرة 184] قَالَ تُطِيقُونَهُ تُكَلَّفُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ وَاحِدٍ فَمَنْ تَطَوُّعَ فَزَادَ مِسْكِينًا آخَرَ لَيْسَتْ بِمَنْسُوخَةٍ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ {وَأَنْ تَصُومُوا خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ} [البقرة 184] لَا يُرَخَّصُ فِي هَذَا إِلَّا لِلْكَبِيرِ الَّذِي لَا يُطِيقُ الصِّيَامَ وَالْمَرِيضِ الَّذِي لَا يُشْفَى

   ✧ "In His saying (And upon those who are able to fast, they have to make a compensation by feeding a poor person) [Al-Baqarah 184]. He said: Able to fast means that you are obligated to compensate by feeding a poor person. And whoever volunteers to do so, it is better for him to increase in feeding another poor person, it is not abrogated. And it is better for you to fast [Al-Baqarah 184]. This is only permitted for the elderly who are unable to fast and for the sick who cannot be cured."

    أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ {حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ} [البقرة 187] قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ هَذَا هُوَ سَوَادُ اللَّيْلِ وَبَيَاضُ النَّهَارِ»

    ✧ That he asked the Messenger of God ﷺ about His saying {until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread} [al-Baqarah: 187]. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "The white thread from the black thread—this is the darkness of night and the whiteness of day."

    نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ} [البقرة 187] وَلَمْ يَنْزِلْ {مِنَ الْفَجْرِ} [البقرة 187] فَكَانَ رِجَالٌ إِذَا أَرَادُوا الصَّوْمَ رَبَطَ أَحَدُهُمْ فِي رِجْلِهِ الْخَيْطَ الْأَبْيَضَ وَالْخَيْطَ الْأَسْوَدَ وَلَا يَزَالُ يَأْكُلُ وَيُشْرَبُ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُ رُؤْيَتُهُمَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ {مِنَ الْفَجْرِ} [البقرة 187] فَعَلِمُوا أَنَّمَا يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ

    ✧ This verse was revealed: {And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread} [al-Baqarah: 187], without {from the dawn} [al-Baqarah: 187] being revealed. So there were men who, when they wanted to fast, one of them would tie to his leg a white thread and a black thread and would keep eating and drinking until he could clearly see the two; then God, blessed and exalted, afterwards revealed {from the dawn} [al-Baqarah: 187], and they knew that it meant night and day.

    ✧ So his wife said, "We have nothing, but I will go seek for you dinner." And she went out and laid his head down to sleep. She returned to him and found him asleep. She woke him up, but he did not eat anything and spent the night fasting. He continued to fast until midday when he fainted. This happened before the verse was revealed. So Allah revealed in him...

    ✧ The Jews used to say about a man who comes to his wife from her rear into her front: the child will be cross-eyed. So it was revealed: {Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish} [al-Baqarah: 223].

    ✧ The Jews said, "When a man approaches his wife from behind, it is as if he is sowing a seed." So Allah revealed, "Your wives are a tilth for you, so approach your tilth whenever you like." He (the Prophet) said (standing and sitting and also receiving marriage rewards) that this could be done after entering the mabāth (i.e., vagina).

    ✧ 'Umar b. al-Khattab came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I am ruined.' He said: 'And what has ruined you?' He said: 'I turned my saddle last night.' He did not reply to him anything. Then it was revealed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ this verse: {Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish} [al-Baqarah: 223], meaning: come from the front or the rear, but avoid the anus and menstruation.

    ✧ She came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asking him whether she could return to her family, the Banu Khudrah, because her husband had gone out in search of slaves of his who had run away, until when they were at the edge of Qadum, they caught up with him and killed him. She said: I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to let me return to my family, for my husband did not leave me in a dwelling that he owned nor any maintenance. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Yes.” So I went out, and when I was in the room or in the mosque, he called me, or ordered that I be called. He said: “What did you say?” She said: I repeated it to him. He said: “Stay in your house until the prescribed term is fulfilled.” So I observed the waiting period of four months and ten days. Then when it was the time of Uthman, he sent for me and I informed him, and he followed it and ruled accordingly.

Salam came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ upon his arrival in Madinah and said: I will ask you about three things that no one knows except a prophet: What is the first of the signs of the Hour? What is the first food the people of Paradise will eat? And why does a child resemble his father and his mother? He said: 'Jibril ﷺ informed me of them just now.' Abdullah said: That is the enemy of the Jews among the angels. He said: 'As for the first of the signs of the Hour, it is a fire that will gather them from the east to the west. As for the first food the people of Paradise will eat, it is an extra lobe of fish liver. As for the child, if the man's fluid precedes, the child resembles him, and if the woman's fluid precedes, the child resembles her.' He said: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that you are the Messenger of Allah. He said: O Messenger of Allah, the Jews are a slanderous people, and if they learn of my Islam before you ask them about me, they will slander me before you. Then the Jews came and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them: 'What kind of man is Abdullah b. Salam among you?' They said: He is the best of us and the son of the best of us, our leader and the son of our leader, and the most learned of us. He said: 'What if Abdullah b. Salam accepts Islam?' They said: May Allah protect him from that. Then he came out to them and said: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. They said: He is the worst of us and the son of the worst of us, and they belittled him. He said: This is what I feared, O Messenger of Allah.

Then he came when Allah wanted to test him, so he gave her the ring and entered the privy, and the devil took the form of Sulayman and said: Give me my ring. So she gave him his ring, and he put it on. When he put it on, the devils, humans, jinn, and everything submitted to him. Then Sulayman came to her and said: Give me my ring. She said: Go away, you are not Sulayman. Sulayman ﷺ said: That is from Allah's decree, by which I am being tested. So he went out, and whenever he said: I am Sulayman, they stoned him until they made his heel bleed. He went out carrying loads on the seashore. This devil remained among them, marrying his wives and judging between them. When Allah, mighty and sublime, wanted to restore Sulayman's kingdom, the devils went and wrote books containing sorcery and disbelief, and buried them under Sulayman's ﷺ throne. Then they unearthed them and said: This is what he used to tempt jinn and humans with. So the people disbelieved Sulayman until Allah sent Muhammad ﷺ, and Allah, mighty and sublime, sent down to Muhammad ﷺ: {Sulayman did not disbelieve, but the devils disbelieved} [al-Baqarah: 102], meaning what they fabricated. Then Sulayman went out carrying loads on the seashore. When the people denied, when Allah wanted to restore Sulayman's kingdom, they denied, the devils went and came to his wives and asked them, and they said: He comes to us while we are menstruating, and he did not used to come to us before that. When the devil saw that his destruction was near, he fled and sent it, and threw it into the sea. In the hadith: a fish received it and took it, and the devil went out until he reached an island in the sea. Sulayman ﷺ went out carrying fish for a man. He said: For how much will you carry? He said: For a fish from this fish. So he carried with him until he brought him, and he gave him the fish that had the ring in its belly. When he gave him the fish, he split its belly, intending to grill it, and behold, the ring. So he put it on, and humans and devils came to him. He sent in pursuit of the devil, and they could not overpower him. He said: Use a trick against him. So they went and found him asleep, drunk. They built over him a house of lead, then they came to seize him, and he jumped, and whenever he jumped in a direction, he moved the lead with him. They seized him and brought him to Sulayman, and he ordered a marble sarcophagus, so it was hollowed out, then he put him inside it, then sealed it with brass, then he ordered it to be thrown into the sea.

So the ignorant and foolish people disbelieved him and cursed him, while their scholars remained silent.

So whoever performs Hajj to the House or performs 'Umrah, there is no blame upon him for walking between them} [al-Baqarah: 158]? I do not think there is any obligation upon anyone not to walk between them.' 'A'ishah said: 'No, if it were as you say, it would have been: "there is no blame upon him not to walk between them." This verse was revealed concerning the Ansar. They used to enter ihram for Manat, and Manat was opposite Qudayd. They used to feel uneasy about walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah. When Islam came, they asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that, so Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed: {Indeed, al-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. So whoever performs Hajj to the House or performs 'Umrah, there is no blame upon him for walking between them} [al-Baqarah: 158].'

    ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever swears an oath by which he seizes property, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him.' And its confirmation is in the Book of Allah, the Exalted: {Indeed, those who purchase with the covenant of Allah and their oaths a small price - those will have no share in the Hereafter} [Al 'Imran: 77]. He said: Then al-Ash'ath b. Qays came and said: 'What is Abu 'Abd al-Rahman narrating to you?' We said: 'Such and such.' He said: 'He spoke the truth, by Allah. It was revealed concerning me and a certain man. There was a dispute between me and him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Your witnesses or his oath." I said: "Then he will swear." He said: "Whoever swears an oath by which he seizes property while he is lying in it, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him." So Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed this verse.'

    ✧ Retaliation was the practice among the Children of Israel, and blood money did not exist among them. So Allah, blessed and exalted, said to this nation: {O you who have believed, prescribed for you is legal retribution for those murdered - the free for the free} [al-Baqarah: 178] up to His saying: {But whoever is pardoned by his brother for anything} [al-Baqarah: 178]. Pardon means that blood money is accepted in cases of intentional killing. Following with what is customary means that this one should pursue with kindness and that one should pay with excellence. Thus it was made lighter for this nation.

So God, mighty and majestic, revealed, refuting us: {And spend in the way of God and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction, and do good; indeed, God loves the doers of good} [al-Baqarah: 195].

    ✧ Abu Ayyub, the companion of the Messenger of God ﷺ, said: O people, you interpret this verse according to such an interpretation, but this verse was only revealed concerning us, the Ansar. When God strengthened His religion and multiplied its supporters, we said among ourselves, some of us to others privately from the Messenger of God ﷺ: Our wealth has been lost; if only we would stay with it and repair what has been lost of it. Then God, blessed and exalted, revealed in His Book, refuting what we had intended: {And spend in the way of God and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction} [al-Baqarah: 195]. Thus destruction was the staying that we wanted to stay with our wealth to repair it.

    عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ {وَاتَّقُوا يَوْمًا تُرْجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى اللهِ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ} [البقرة 281] إِنَّهَا آخِرُ آيَةٍ أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

    لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَإِنْ تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُمْ بِهِ اللهُ} [البقرة 284] دَخَلَ قُلُوبَهُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ لَمْ يَدْخُلْهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قُولُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا وَسَلَّمْنَا فَأَلْقَى اللهُ الْإِيمَانَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ} [البقرة 285] الْآيَةُ {لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا} [البقرة 286] قَالَ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ {رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا} [البقرة 286] قَالَ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ {رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا أَنْتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ} [البقرة 286] قَالَ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ

    ✧ When this verse was revealed: {And whether you disclose what is in your souls or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it} [al-Baqarah 284], something entered their hearts from it that had not entered from anything else. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Say: We hear, we obey, and we submit." So Allah cast faith into their hearts, and Allah ﷻ revealed {The Messenger believes in what was sent down to him from his Lord, and the believers} [al-Baqarah 285] the verse: {Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. For it is what it has earned, and against it what it has incurred. Our Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or err} [al-Baqarah 286]. He said: "I have done so." {Our Lord, and do not lay upon us a burden as You laid upon those before us} [al-Baqarah 286]. He said: "I have done so." {Our Lord, and do not impose upon us that which we have no strength to bear. And pardon us, and forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so grant us victory over the disbelieving people} [al-Baqarah 286]. He said: "I have done so."

    ✧ Anas said: The front tooth of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was broken on the Day of Uhud, and he was wounded on the head. Blood began to flow over his face, and he wiped the blood from his face saying: "How can a people succeed who have stained the face of their Prophet while he is calling them to Islam?" Then Allah, blessed and exalted is He, revealed: {Not for you is the decision, whether He turns to them or punishes them; for they are wrongdoers} [Al Imran: 128]. The wording is Khalid's.

    أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ احْتَجَّ آدَمُ وَمُوسَى عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى يَا آدَمُ خَلَقَكَ اللهُ بِيَدِهِ وَنَفَخَ فِيكَ مِنْ رُوحِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَكَ كُنْ فَكُنْتَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ فَسَجَدُوا لَكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ اسْكُنْ أَنْتَ وَزَوْجُكَ الْجَنَّةَ فَكُلَا مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ رَغَدًا وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ فَنَهَاكَ عَنْ شَجَرَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَعَصَيْتَ رَبَّكَ؟ فَقَالَ آدَمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَا مُوسَى أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى قَدَّرَ عَلَيَّ هَذَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَنِي؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَقَدْ حَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى لَقَدْ حَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى لَقَدْ حَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى»

    ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Adam and Moses (peace be upon them) argued. Moses said to him: "O Adam, Allah created you with His Hand, breathed into you of His spirit, then said to you, 'Be,' and you were. Then He commanded the angels, and they prostrated to you. Then He said, 'Dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise, and eat from it wherever you wish in abundance, but do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers.' So He forbade you from a single tree, and you disobeyed your Lord?" Adam ﷺ said: "O Moses, do you not know that Allah, Exalted is He, decreed this for me before He created me?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Adam defeated Moses in argument, Adam defeated Moses in argument, Adam defeated Moses in argument."

    ✧ Abū Jahl said: 'If I see Muḥammad praying at the Kaʿbah, I will go to him until I step on his neck.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If he did that, the angels would seize him visibly. And if the Jews wished for death, they would die and see their places in the Fire. And if those who would invoke the curse of Allah (impricate) against the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out, they would return not finding wealth or family."

    ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever swears an oath by which he cuts off property, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him.' And its confirmation is in the Book of Allah: {Indeed, those who purchase with the covenant of Allah and their oaths a small price, those will have no share in the Hereafter} [Āli ʿImrān 77]. Then al-Ashʿath b. Qays came and said: 'What is Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrating to you?' We said: 'Such and such.' He said: 'By Allah, it was revealed about me and so-and-so. There was a dispute between me and him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Your witnesses or his oath." I said: "Then he will swear." He said: "Whoever swears an oath by which he cuts off property while he is lying in it, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him." And Allah ﷻ revealed the verse.'

    ✧ He was in Syria with some men of Quraysh who had come as merchants during the truce between the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the disbelievers of Quraysh. Abū Sufyān said: We found the messenger of Caesar in part of Syria, and he took me and my companions until we came to Jerusalem and were admitted to him. He was sitting in his royal court with a crown on his head, and around him were the scholars of the Byzantines. He said to his interpreter: 'Ask them which of them is closest in lineage to this man who claims to be a prophet.' Abū Sufyān said: 'I am the closest of them to him in lineage.' He said: 'What is the relationship between you and him?' I said: 'He is my cousin.' He said: 'And there was no man from Banū ʿAbd Manāf in the caravan that day except me.' He said: Caesar said: 'Bring him near me.' Then he ordered my companions to be placed behind my back at my shoulder. Then he said to his interpreter: 'Tell his companions that I will ask this man about this man who claims to be a prophet, and if he lies, they should contradict him.' Abū Sufyān said: 'By Allah, were it not for the shame that day that my companions would report me as a liar, I would have lied to him about him when he asked me. But I was ashamed that they would report me as a liar, so I told the truth about him.' Then he said to his interpreter: 'Tell him: How is the lineage of this man among you?' I said: 'He is among us of noble lineage.' He said: 'Did anyone among you say this saying before him?' I said: 'No.' He said: 'Did you used to accuse him of lying before he said what he said?' I said: 'No.' He said: 'Were any of his forefathers kings?' I said: 'No.' He said: 'Do the nobles of the people follow him or their weak ones?' I said: 'Rather their weak ones.' [44] He said: 'Do they increase or decrease?' I said: 'Rather they increase.' He said: 'Does anyone turn back from his religion out of displeasure with it after entering it?' I said: 'No.' He said: 'Does he betray?' I said: 'No, and we are now in a truce with him, and we fear that he may betray.' Abū Sufyān said: 'And no word allowed me to insert something with which I could disparage him, fearing that something else would be reported from me.' He said: 'Have you fought him and has he fought you?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'How was your war and his war?' I said: 'It was alternate turns and equal shares: sometimes we prevailed over him, and sometimes he prevailed over us.' He said: 'What does he command you?' I said: 'He commands us to worship Allah alone and not associate anything with Him, and he forbids us from what our forefathers worshipped, and he commands us to pray, to be truthful, to be chaste, to fulfill covenants, and to render trusts.' Then he said to his interpreter when I said that: 'Tell him: I asked you about his lineage among you, and you claimed that he is among you of noble lineage, and so messengers are sent in the lineage of their people. I asked you whether anyone among you said this saying before him, and you claimed no. So I said: If anyone among you had said this saying before him, I would have said he is a man following a saying said before him. I asked you whether you used to accuse him of lying before he said what he said, and you claimed no. So I know that he would not refrain from lying to people and then lie about Allah. I asked you whether any of his forefathers were kings, and you claimed no. So I said: If any of his forefathers had been a king, I would have said he is a man seeking the kingdom of his forefathers. I asked you whether the nobles of the people follow him or their weak ones, and you claimed that their weak ones follow him, and they are the followers of messengers. I asked you whether they increase or decrease, and you claimed that they increase, and such is faith until it is complete. I asked you whether anyone turns back from his religion out of displeasure after entering it, and you claimed no, and such is faith when it mixes with the joy of the heart: no one hates it. I asked you whether he betrays, and you claimed no, and such are messengers: they do not betray. [45] I asked you whether you fought him and he fought you, and you claimed that he has done so, and that your war and his war are alternate turns: sometimes you prevail over him and sometimes he prevails over you, and such are messengers: they are tested, and the outcome is theirs. I asked you what he commanded you, and you claimed that he commands you to worship Allah alone and not associate anything with Him, and he forbids you from what your forefathers worshipped, and he commands you to pray, to be truthful, to be chaste, to fulfill covenants, and to render trusts. He said: This is the description of a prophet. I knew that he would emerge, but I did not think he would be from among you. If what you said is true, he will soon possess the place of these two feet of mine. By Allah, if I hoped to reach him, I would undertake to meet him, and if I were with him, I would wash his feet.' Abū Sufyān said: Then he called for the letter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and ordered it to be read. It contained: 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. From Muḥammad, the servant of Allah and His Messenger, to Heraclius, the ruler of the Byzantines. Peace be upon those who follow guidance. To proceed: I invite you with the call of Islam. Submit and you will be safe, and submit and Allah will give you your reward twice. But if you turn away, then upon you is the sin of the Arīsiyyīn (peasants/serfs).' And {Say, O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you: that we worship none but Allah and associate nothing with Him, and that we do not take one another as lords besides Allah. But if they turn away, then say, Bear witness that we are Muslims} [Āli ʿImrān 64]. Abū Sufyān said: When he finished his speech, the voices of the Byzantines around him rose from among the great ones of the Byzantines, and their clamor increased, so I do not know what they said. He ordered us to be taken out. Abū Sufyān said: When I went out with my companions and was alone with them, I said: 'The affair of Ibn Abī Kabshah has become great: this king of Banū al-Aṣfar fears him.' Abū Sufyān said: 'By Allah, I remained humiliated and certain that his affair would prevail until Allah brought Islam into my heart while I was reluctant.'

    ✧ A man from the Anṣār embraced Islam, then apostatized and joined polytheism, then regretted it. He sent to his people: 'Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ whether there is repentance for me.' His people came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'So-and-so has regretted it, and he has commanded us to ask you whether there is repentance for him.' Then was revealed {How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their belief} [Āli ʿImrān 86] to {Forgiving, Merciful} [al-Baqarah 173]. So he sent to him, and he became Muslim.

    ✧ Abu Talha was the wealthiest of the Ansar in Madinah in terms of palm trees, and the most beloved of his wealth to him was Bayruha', which faced the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to enter it and eat of its fruit and drink from its sweet water. Anas said: When this verse was revealed: {You will not attain righteousness until you spend from what you love} [Al Imran: 92], Abu Talha stood up to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allah, Allah says: {You will not attain righteousness until you spend from what you love} [Al Imran: 92], and the most beloved of my wealth to me is Bayruha'. It is charity for Allah; I hope for its righteousness and its reward with Allah. So place it, O Messenger of Allah, where Allah shows you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Excellent! That is profitable wealth. I have heard what you said, and I think you should assign it to your relatives." Abu Talha said: I will do that, O Messenger of Allah. So Abu Talha divided it among his relatives and his paternal cousins.

Salam said: They lie; stoning is in their Book. Then it was said: {Then bring the Torah and recite it, if you are truthful} [Al Imran: 93]. They brought the Torah, and their reader came and placed his palm over the verse of stoning and began to read what was besides it. Abdullah b. Salam said: Lift your palm. And behold, the verse of stoning was visible. So the Prophet of Allah ﷺ commanded regarding the two, and they were stoned.

     The Prophet ﷺ appointed ʿAbdullah bin Jubair as the commander of the infantry men (archers) who were fifty on the day (of the battle) of Uhud. He instructed them, "Stick to your place, and don't leave it even if you see birds snatching us, till I send for you; and if you see that we have defeated the infidels and made them flee, even then you should not leave your place till I send for you." Then the infidels were defeated. By Allah, I saw the women fleeing lifting up their clothes revealing their leg-bangles and their legs. So, the companions of ʿAbdullah bin Jubair said, "The booty! O people, the booty ! Your companions have become victorious, what are you waiting for now?" ʿAbdullah bin Jubair said, "Have you forgotten what Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to you?" They replied, "By Allah! We will go to the people (i.e. the enemy) and collect our share from the war booty." But when they went to them, they were forced to turn back defeated. At that time Messenger of Allah ﷺ in their rear was calling them back. Only twelve men remained with the Prophet ﷺ and the infidels martyred seventy men from us. On the day (of the battle) of Badr, the Prophet ﷺ and his companions had caused the 'Pagans to lose 140 men, seventy of whom were captured and seventy were killed. Then Abu Sufyan asked thrice, "Is Muhammad present amongst these people?" The Prophet ﷺ ordered his companions not to answer him. Then he asked thrice, "Is the son of Abu Quhafa present amongst these people?" He asked again thrice, "Is the son of Al-Khattab present amongst these people?" He then returned to his companions and said, "As for these (men), they have been killed." ʿUmar could not control himself and said (to Abu Sufyan), "You told a lie, by Allah! O enemy of Allah! All those you have mentioned are alive, and the thing which will make you unhappy is still there." Abu Sufyan said, "Our victory today is a counterbalance to yours in the battle of Badr, and in war (the victory) is always undecided and is shared in turns by the belligerents, and you will find some of your (killed) men mutilated, but I did not urge my men to do so, yet I do not feel sorry for their deed" After that he started reciting cheerfully, "O Hubal, be high! (1) On that the Prophet ﷺ said (to his companions), "Why don't you answer him back?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ What shall we say?" He said, "Say, Allah is Higher and more Sublime." (Then) Abu Sufyan said, "We have the (idol) Al ʿUzza, and you have no ʿUzza." The Prophet said (to his companions), "Why don't you answer him back?" They asked, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! What shall we say?" He said, "Says Allah is our Helper and you have no helper." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3039)

Say, Allah gives you a ruling concerning kalalah} [An-Nisa: 176].'

     ✧ Regarding the saying of Allah, Mighty and Exalted: “And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of women, two or three or four” [al-Nisāʾ 3], she said: “O son of my sister, this is about the orphan girl who is under the care of her guardian and shares in his wealth. Her wealth and beauty attract him, so her guardian wants to marry her without being just in her dowry, giving her the same as another would give her. So they were forbidden to marry them unless they deal justly with them and give them the highest customary dowry. They were instead commanded to marry other women who please them besides them.” [59] ʿUrwah said: ʿĀʾishah said: Then the people sought the ruling from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ after this verse, and Allah, Blessed and Exalted, revealed: “And they seek your ruling concerning women. Say: Allah gives you a ruling about them, and what is recited to you in the Book concerning orphan girls to whom you do not give what is prescribed for them, and whom you desire to marry” [al-Nisāʾ 127]. Allah mentioned that it is recited to you in the Book in the first verse. Allah said: “And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of women” [al-Nisāʾ 3]. ʿĀʾishah said: And the saying of Allah, Mighty and Exalted, in the other verse: “and whom you desire to marry” [al-Nisāʾ 127] refers to the desire of one of you to avoid his orphan girl when she has little wealth and little beauty. She said: So they were forbidden to marry those of the orphan girls whose wealth and beauty they desired, except with justice, because of their aversion to them when they were of little wealth and beauty.

     ✧ A man disputed with al-Zubayr before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the streams of the ḥarrah from which they irrigated the date palms. The Anṣārī said, 'Let the water flow.' Al-Zubayr refused them, so they disputed before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to al-Zubayr, 'Irrigate, O Zubayr, then release the water to your neighbor.' The Anṣārī became angry and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, is it because he is your cousin?' The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed color, then he said, 'O Zubayr, irrigate, then hold back the water until it returns to the wall.' Al-Zubayr said, 'By Allah, I think this verse was revealed concerning that: {But no, by your Lord, they will not believe} [al-Nisāʾ 65].'

     "Adam and Musa argued, Musa said: "O Adam! You are the one that Allah created with His Hand, and blew into you of His Spirit, and you misled the people and caused them to be expelled from Paradise.' So Adam said: 'You are Musa, the one Allah selected with His Speech! Are you blaming me for something I did which Allah had decreed for me, before creating the heavens and the earth?'" He said: " So Adam confuted Musa." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2134)

     ✧ From the ḥadīth of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about intercession. Anas said: Muḥammad ﷺ told us: When the Day of Resurrection comes, people will surge into one another. Then Ādam will be brought, and it will be said to him: O Ādam, intercede for your progeny. He will say: I am not able for it, but go to Ibrāhīm, for he is the close friend of the Most Merciful. So Ibrāhīm will be brought, and he will say, meaning: I am not able for it, but go to Mūsā, for he is the one to whom Allah spoke. So Mūsā will be brought, and he will say: I am not able for it, but go to ʿĪsā, for he is a spirit from Allah and His word. So ʿĪsā ﷺ will be brought, and he will say: I am not able for it, but go to Muḥammad ﷺ. So he will be brought to me, and I will say: I am for it. I will ask permission of my Lord, and permission will be given to me. I will stand before Him, and He will inspire me with praises which I am not able to [articulate] now. I will praise Him with those praises, then I will fall prostrate before Him. He will say: O Muḥammad, raise your head, speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and you will be granted intercession. I will say: O Lord, my Ummah, my Ummah. It will be said: Go, and whoever has in his heart — he said either the weight of a grain of wheat or a grain of barley of faith — bring him out of it. So I will go and do that. Then I will return and praise Him with those praises, then I will fall prostrate before Him. It will be said: O Muḥammad, raise your head, speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and you will be granted intercession. I will say: O Lord, my Ummah, my Ummah. It will be said: Go, and whoever has in his heart the weight of a mustard seed of faith, bring him out of it. So I will go and do that. Then I will return and praise Him with those praises, then I will fall prostrate before Him. It will be said to me: O Muḥammad, raise your head, speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and you will be granted intercession. I will say: O Lord, my Ummah, my Ummah. It will be said: Go, and whoever has in his heart the least, least, least of the weight of a mustard seed of faith, bring him out of the Fire. So I will go. — the ḥadīth of Anas up to its end.

     ✧ O Messenger of Allah, we will not say as the Children of Israel said to Musa: {So go, you and your Lord, and fight; indeed we are sitting here} [al-Ma'idah: 24]. Rather, proceed and we are with you. It was as if the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was relieved.

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ traveled to Badr and consulted the Muslims. Abu Bakr gave him advice. Then he consulted a man, and 'Umar gave him advice. Then he consulted them, and the Ansar said, 'O community of Ansar, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intends you.' He said, 'Then we will not say as the Children of Israel said to Musa: {So go, you and your Lord, and fight; indeed we are sitting here} [al-Ma'idah: 24].

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among the people, admonished them, and said, “O people, you will be gathered to Allah barefoot, naked, and uncircumcised.” Then he recited: {As We began the first creation, We will repeat it—a promise binding upon Us; indeed, We will do it} [al-Anbiya': 104]. Then men from my Ummah will be brought, and they will be taken to the left side. I will say, “My Lord, my Ummah, my Ummah!” It will be said, “Do you know what they introduced after you?” I will say, as the righteous servant said: {And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them} [al-Ma'idah: 117] up to {the Mighty, the Wise} [al-Ma'idah: 118]. Then it will be said, “They did not cease turning back on their heels since you left them.”

     ✧ A Jew who had been blackened and flogged was brought past the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He called them and said, 'Is this how you find the punishment of the adulterer in your Book?' They said, 'Yes.' He called a man from their scholars and said, 'I adjure you by Allah who revealed the Torah to Musa: Is this how you find the punishment of the adulterer in your Book?' He said, 'No, and if you had not adjured me I would not have told you. We find the punishment of the adulterer in our Book to be stoning, but it became prevalent among our nobles. When we seized a noble man we let him go, and when we seized a weak man we carried out the punishment on him. We said, "Come, let us agree on something we will apply to noble and lowly alike." So we agreed on blackening and flogging and abandoned stoning.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I am the first to revive your command since they killed it.' He ordered, and he was stoned. Then Allah ﷻ revealed: {O Messenger, let not those grieve you who hasten into disbelief} [al-Ma'idah: 41] to {and if you are not given it, then beware} [al-Ma'idah: 41], meaning: 'Go to Muhammad. If he gives you a ruling of blackening and flogging, accept it; if he gives you a ruling of stoning, beware.' Up to His saying: {And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, then those are the disbelievers} [al-Ma'idah: 44] concerning the Jews, and to His saying: {And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, then those are the wrongdoers} [al-Ma'idah: 45] concerning the Jews, and to His saying: {And whoever does not judge by what Allah has sent down, then those are the defiantly disobedient} [al-Ma'idah: 47].

Take your time with me and do not be hasty with me! Did Allah Most High not say: And indeed he saw him at a second descent (53:13). (And) 'And indeed he saw him in the clear horizon (81:23).'

"And whoever claimed that Muhammad hid anything that Allah revealed to him, then he uttered one of the worst lies against Allah. Allah says: O Messenger! Proclaim what has been sent down to you from your Lord (5:67)." "And whoever claimed that he ﷺ knew what would be tomorrow, then he has uttered one of the worst lies against Allah. Allah says: Say: 'None in the heavens and in the earth knows the unseen but Allah (27:65).'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3068)

     ✧ I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ in the Farewell Pilgrimage say: "O people," three times, "What day is this?" They said, "The Day of Sacrifice, the Day of the Great Hajj." He said, "Then your blood, your wealth, and your honor are sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours. Indeed, no criminal commits a crime against his child, and no child against his parent. Indeed, Satan has despaired of ever being worshipped in this land of yours, but he will have obedience in some of what you regard as insignificant of your deeds, and he will be content. Indeed, every usury of the pre-Islamic era is abolished. You have your capital; you do not wrong and you are not wronged. Indeed, every blood of the pre-Islamic era is abolished, and the first of them I abolish is the blood of al-Harith b. 'Abd al-Muttalib," who had been nursed among Banu Layth and was killed by Hudhayl. "O my nation, have I conveyed?" three times. They said, "Yes." He said, "O God, bear witness."

Whoever has a treaty between him and the Messenger of God ﷺ, its term and duration is up to four months. When the four months have passed, then God is free from the polytheists, and His Messenger. And no polytheist will perform Hajj after this year.' I kept calling out until my voice became hoarse."

Who will be just if I am not just?" 'Umar said: "O Messenger of Allah, permit me to strike his neck." He said: "Leave him, for he will have companions whose prayer one of you would belittle compared to his own, and whose fasting compared to his own. They will pass through the religion as an arrow passes through its target. One looks at its arrowhead and finds nothing on it; then one looks at its shaft and finds nothing on it; then one looks at its binding and finds nothing on it; then one looks at its fletching and finds nothing on it. It has surpassed the filth and blood. Their sign will be a black man with one of his arms or one of his hands like a woman's breast or like a piece of flesh that quivers. They will emerge at a time of weakness among the people." He said: "So it was revealed about them: {And among them are those who criticize you concerning charities} [At-Tawbah: 58]." Abu Sa'id said: "I testify that I heard this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I testify that 'Ali, when he killed them, brought the man according to the description the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave."

     ✧ 'Ali ﷺ sent from Yemen a small amount of gold as a gift to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He divided it among four: al-Aqra' b. Habis al-Hanzali, 'Uyaynah b. Badr al-Fazari, 'Alqamah b. 'Ulathah al-'Amiri then one of Banu Kilab, and Zayd al-Ta'i then one of Banu Nabhan. Quraysh became angry—and he said another time: the chiefs of Quraysh—and said: "He gives to the chiefs of Najd and leaves us?" He said: "I only did that to win their hearts." Then a man with a thick beard, prominent cheekbones, sunken eyes, protruding forehead, and shaved head came and said: "Fear Allah, O Muhammad." He said: "Who will obey Allah if I disobey Him? He entrusts me with the people of the earth, and you do not trust me?" He said: The man turned away, and a man from the group asked permission to kill him—they thought he was Khalid b. al-Walid. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "No, for from the loins of this man will come a people who recite the Qur'an but it will not pass beyond their throats. They will kill the people of Islam and call to the people of idols. They will pass out of Islam as the arrow passes through the target. If I reach them, I will kill them as 'Ad was killed."

     When ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul died, Messenger of Allah ﷺ was called upon to offer his funeral prayer. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to offer the prayer, I got up quickly and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Are you going to pray for Ibn Ubai and he said so and so on such and such occasions?" And started mentioning all that he had said. Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and said, "O ʿUmar! Go away from me." When I talked too much he said, "I have been given the choice and so I have chosen (to offer the prayer). Had I known that he would be forgiven by asking for Allah's forgiveness for more than seventy times, surely I would have done so." (ʿUmar added): Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered his funeral prayer and returned and after a short while the two verses of Surat Bara' were revealed: i.e. "And never (O Muhammad) pray for any of them who dies...

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say to his companions: "Has any of you seen a dream?" So whoever wished would relate it. One day he said to us: "Two visitors came to me tonight and they sent me. They said to me: 'Go,' and I went with them. We came to a city built of bricks of gold and silver. We came to the gate of the city and asked for it to be opened, and it was opened for us. We entered and were met by men, half of whose forms were the most beautiful you could see, and half the ugliest you could see. They said to them: 'Go and plunge into that river.' It was a wide river flowing, its water like pure milk in whiteness. They went and plunged into it, then returned to us with the ugliness gone and they had become of the best appearance. They said to me: 'This is the Garden of Eden, and that is your abode.' As my gaze went upward, I saw a palace. They said to me: 'This is your abode.' I said to them: 'May Allah bless you both; let me enter it.' They said: 'Not now, but you will enter it.'" The people, half of whom were beautiful and half ugly, had mixed a good deed with an evil one, and Allah overlooked it for them. Abridged.

     ✧ When death approached Abu Talib, the Prophet ﷺ entered upon him while Abu Jahl and Abdullah b. Abi Umayyah were with him. He said: "O uncle, say: There is no god but Allah—a word by which I will plead for you before Allah." Abu Jahl and Abdullah b. Abi Umayyah said to him: "O Abu Talib, will you turn away from the religion of Abd al-Muttalib?" They kept speaking to him until the last thing he said to them was: "On the religion of Abd al-Muttalib." The Prophet ﷺ said: "I will surely seek forgiveness for you as long as I am not forbidden from it."

     ✧ I heard Ka'b b. Malik relate his account when he stayed behind from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the expedition of Tabuk. He said: "While I was sitting in the condition that Allah mentioned of us—my soul had become constricted and the earth, despite its vastness, had closed in on me—I heard a crier on the top of a mountain with the loudest voice: 'O Ka'b b. Malik, rejoice!'" He said: "I fell down in prostration, and I knew that relief had come. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ announced Allah's acceptance of our repentance when he prayed the dawn prayer, so the people rushed to give us good tidings. Some went toward my two companions with glad tidings, and a man rode a horse to me, and a runner from Aslam hastened and climbed a mountain, and the voice was faster than the horse. When the one whose voice I had heard came to me with good news, I took off my two garments and clothed him with them as a reward—by Allah, I owned nothing else. I borrowed two garments and put them on, then I set out to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The people met me in groups, congratulating me on the repentance, saying: 'May Allah's acceptance of your repentance bring you joy.'" Ka'b said: "Until I entered the mosque, and there was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sitting with the people around him. Talhah b. Ubayd Allah stood up and hurried to me, shook my hand and congratulated me. By Allah, no man among the Muhajirun stood up for me except him, and I will never forget it for Talhah." Ka'b said: "When I greeted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said, while his face was shining with joy: 'Rejoice in the best day that has passed over you since your mother gave birth to you.' I said: 'Is it from you, O Messenger of Allah, or from Allah?' He said: 'No, rather from Allah.' When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was pleased, his face would light up as if it were a piece of the moon, and we used to recognize that from him. When I sat before him, I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, part of my repentance is that I divest myself of my wealth as charity to Allah, Blessed and Exalted, and to His Messenger ﷺ.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Keep some of your wealth, for it is better for you.' I said: 'Then I will keep my share at Khaybar.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, Allah only saved me through truthfulness, and part of my repentance is that I will never speak anything but the truth as long as I live.' By Allah, no Muslim has been tested by Allah in truthfulness of speech since I mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ better than I have been tested, and you know that I have not reported a lie since I mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I hope that Allah will protect me for the rest of my life. Then Allah, Exalted and Glorified, revealed: {Allah has certainly turned in mercy to the Prophet, the Muhajirun, and the Ansar who followed him in the hour of hardship} [al-Tawbah 117]—he recited until {the truthful} [al-Tawbah 119]. By Allah, after He guided me to Islam, Allah has not bestowed upon me any blessing greater in my soul than my truthfulness to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on that day—that I did not lie to him, lest I be destroyed as those who lied to him were destroyed, until revelation came with the worst of what He said about anyone: {They will swear by Allah to you when you return to them so that you may turn away from them} [al-Tawbah 95] until {the defiantly disobedient} [al-Tawbah 96]. Ka'b said: 'We, the three, stayed behind from the affair of those whose excuses the Messenger of Allah ﷺ accepted when they swore to him, so he pledged allegiance to them and sought forgiveness for them, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ deferred our affair until Allah decreed concerning it. For that reason Allah, Exalted and Glorified, said: {And [He also turned in mercy] to the three who were left behind} [al-Tawbah 118]. It is not that Allah mentioned our staying behind from the expedition; rather, it is His deferring us and postponing our affair, unlike those who swore to him and made excuses, and he accepted from them—abridged."

     that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed Allah has made a parable of the straight path: At the sides of the path there are walls with open doors, each door having a curtain. There is a caller at the head of the path calling, and a caller above it calling. And Allah invites to the abode of peace and guides whomever He wills to the straight path. The doors which are on the sides of the path are the Hudud (legal limitations) of Allah; no one breaches the Hudud of Allah except that curtain is lifted, and the one calling from above it is his Lord."

He said: "When the people of Paradise enter Paradise and the people of the Fire enter the Fire, a caller will call out: 'O people of Paradise, you have a promise with your Lord that He intends to fulfill for you.' They will say: 'Did He not whiten our faces, make our scales heavy, admit us to Paradise, and save us from the Fire?' He said: 'Then the veil will be lifted, and they will look at Him.

     "We were with 'Abdullah bin 'Umar when he was circumambulating the House; a man came up to him and said: 'O Ibn 'Umar, what did you hear the Messenger of Allah say about the Najwa?' He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'On the Day of Resurrection, the believer will be brought close to his Lord until He will cover him with His screen, then He will make him confess his sins. He will ask him: "Do you confess?" He will say: "O Lord, I confess." This will continue as long as Allah wills, then He will say: "I concealed them for you in the world, and I forgive you for them today." Then he will be given the scroll of his good deeds, or his record, in his right hand. But as for the disbeliever or the hypocrite, (his sins) will be announced before the witnesses.' " (One of the narrators) Khalid said: "At: 'before the witnesses' there is something missing." "These are the ones who lied against their Lord!' No doubt! The curse of Allah is on the wrongdoers."

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The believers will gather on the Day of Resurrection and say: 'If only we could seek intercession with our Lord to relieve us from this place.' They will come to Adam ﷺ and say: 'You are the father of mankind; Allah created you with His hand, and He made the angels prostrate to you, so intercede for us with your Lord.' He will say: 'I am not the one for that,' and he will mention his sin which he committed, and he will be ashamed before Allah of that, 'but go to Nuh, for he is the first messenger Allah sent to the people of the earth.' They will call upon him, and he will say: 'I am not the one for that,' and he will mention his asking his Lord for what he had no knowledge of, and he will be ashamed of that, 'but go to Ibrahim, the intimate friend of the Most Merciful.' They will come to him, and he will say: 'I am not the one for that, but go to Musa, a servant to whom Allah spoke and gave the Torah.' They will come to him, and he will say: 'I am not the one for that,' and he will mention his killing a soul without a soul, 'but go to Isa, the servant of Allah and His messenger, and His word, and His spirit.' They will come to him, and he will say: 'I am not the one for that, but go to Muhammad ﷺ—and upon all the prophets of Allah—a servant whom Allah has forgiven his past and future sins.' He said: 'They will come to me, and I will set out.' Said said: He mentioned this phrase from al-Hasan: 'I will walk between two rows of believers.' Then he returned to the hadith of Anas: 'I will seek permission from my Lord, and He will grant me permission. When I see Him, I will fall down in prostration, and He will leave me as long as Allah wills to leave me. Then it will be said: Raise your head, O Muhammad; speak, you will be heard; ask, you will be given; intercede, your intercession will be accepted. So I will raise my head and praise Him with a praise He teaches me, then I will intercede, and He will set a limit for me, and I will admit them to Paradise. Then I will return a second time, and when I see Him, I will fall down in prostration. He will leave me as long as Allah wills to leave me, then it will be said: Raise your head, O Muhammad; speak, you will be heard; ask, you will be given. So I will raise my head and praise Him with a praise He teaches me, then I will intercede, and He will set a limit for me, and I will admit them to Paradise. Then I will return a third time, and when I see my Lord, I will fall down in prostration to Him. He will leave me as long as Allah wills, then it will be said to me: Raise your head, O Muhammad; speak, you will be heard; ask, you will be given; intercede, your intercession will be accepted. So I will raise my head and praise Him with a praise He teaches me, then I will intercede, and He will set a limit for me, and I will admit them to Paradise. Then I will return a fourth time and say: O Lord, none remains except those whom the Quran has held back.'" He said: Qatadah says following this hadith: Anas b. Malik narrated to us that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There will come out of the Fire whoever said: There is no god but Allah and had in his heart the weight of a barley grain of good. There will come out of the Fire whoever said: There is no god but Allah and had in his heart the weight of a wheat grain of good. There will come out of the Fire whoever had in his heart the weight of a speck of good."

     ✧ From 'A'ishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, when the people of the slander said what they said, and God declared her innocent of it. He said: Each of them narrated to me a portion of her story, and some of them were more retentive of her story than others and more accurate in its narration. I retained from each man the hadith he narrated to me about 'A'ishah, and their narratives confirmed one another, even though some were more retentive than others. She said: The Messenger of God ﷺ entered, greeted, then sat down and recited the testimony of faith when he sat. Then he said: "To proceed, O 'A'ishah, it has reached me about you such-and-such. If you are innocent, God will soon declare your innocence, and if you have fallen into sin, then seek God's forgiveness and repent to Him, for when a servant acknowledges his sin and then repents, God turns to him." I said to my father: Answer the Messenger of God ﷺ regarding what he said. He said: By God, I do not know what to say to the Messenger of God ﷺ. I said to my mother: Answer the Messenger of God ﷺ regarding what he said. She said: By God, I do not know what to say to the Messenger of God ﷺ. [133] I said, while I was a young girl who did not read much of the Qur'an: By God, I know that you have heard this story until it settled in your hearts and you believed it. If I say to you that I am innocent, you will not believe me, and if I admit to something while God knows that I am innocent of it, you will certainly believe me. By God, I find no example for myself or for you except the father of Yusuf when he said: {So patience is most fitting, and God is the one sought for help against what you describe} [Yusuf 18]. By God, the Messenger of God ﷺ did not leave his seat until God, may He be exalted, revealed: {Indeed, those who brought the slander are a group among you}—the ten verses in full, abridged.

     ✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." 'A'ishah said: O Messenger of God, when Abu Bakr stands in your place, the people will not hear him because of weeping, so tell 'Umar to lead the people in prayer. He said: "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." 'A'ishah said: Then I said to Hafsah: Tell him that when Abu Bakr stands in your place, the people will not hear him because of weeping, so order 'Umar to lead the people in prayer. Hafsah did so, and the Messenger of God ﷺ said: "Indeed, you are the companions of Yusuf. Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." Hafsah said: I was not to obtain any good from you.

Then the people of polytheism will reproach them and say to them: ‘We do not see that your faith and what you used to differ from us in benefited you.’ Allah wills to show the people of polytheism regret, and no monotheist will remain but that Allah brings him out.” Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited this verse: {Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish that they had been Muslims} [al-Ḥijr: 2].

     ✧ A man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ of the Anṣār informed me, saying: While they were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a star was shot and it lit up. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “What did you use to say in the time of ignorance when something like this was shot?” They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: “Tonight a great man was born, and tonight a great man died.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Verily, it is not shot for anyone's death nor anyone's life, but when our Lord, blessed and exalted is He, decrees a matter, the bearers of the Throne glorify Him, then the people of the heaven who are next to them glorify, until the glorification reaches the people of this heaven. Then those who are next to the bearers of the Throne say to the bearers of the Throne: ‘What did your Lord say?’ They inform them, and the people of the heavens ask one another until the news reaches this lowest heaven. Then the jinn snatch the hearing and cast it to their allies, so they are shot at. What they bring as it is, is true, but they distort and add to it.”

     قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَمَّا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ أُسْرِيَ بِي ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتُ بِمَكَّةَ» قَالَ «قَطَعْتُ بِأَمْرِي وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ النَّاسَ مُكَذِّبِيَّ» قَالَ «فَقَعَدْتُ مُعْتَزِلًا حَزِينًا فَمَرَّ بِي عَدُوُّ اللهِ أَبُو جَهْلٍ» فَجَاءَ حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ كَالْمُسْتَهْزِئِ هَلْ كَانَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ مَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ «إِنِّي أُسْرِيَ بِي اللَّيْلَةَ» قَالَ إِلَى أَيْنَ؟ قَالَ «إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ» قَالَ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» [148] قَالَ فَلَمْ يُرِهِ أَنَّهُ يُكَذِّبُهُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَجْحَدَ الْحَدِيثَ إِنْ دَعَا لَهُ قَوْمَهُ قَالَ إِنْ دَعَوْتُ إِلَيْكَ قَوْمَكَ أَتُحَدِّثُهُمْ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ مَعْشَرَ بَنِي كَعْبِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ هَلُمَّ فَتَنَفَّضَتِ الْمَجَالِسُ فَجَاءُوا حَتَّى جَلَسُوا إِلَيْهِمَا قَالَ حَدِّثْ قَوْمَكَ مَا حَدَّثْتَنِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي أُسْرِيَ بِي اللَّيْلَةَ» قَالُوا إِلَى أَيْنَ؟ قَالَ «إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ» قَالَ قَالُوا ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» فَمِنْ بَيْنِ مُصَدَّقٍ وَمِنْ بَيْنِ وَاضِعٍ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ مُسْتَعْجِبًا لِلْكَذِبِ قَالَ وَفِي الْقَوْمِ مَنْ سَافَرَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْبَلَدِ وَرَأَى الْمَسْجِدَ قَالَ قَالُوا هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَنْعَتَ لَنَا الْمَسْجِدَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَذَهَبْتُ أَنْعَتُ لَهُمْ فَمَا زِلْتُ أَنْعَتُ حَتَّى الْتَبَسَ عَلَيَّ بَعْضُ النَّعْتِ» قَالَ «فَجِيءَ بِالْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى وُضِعَ» قَالَ «فَنَعَتُّ الْمَسْجِدَ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ» قَالَ وَقَدْ كَانَ مَعَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ فَنَسِيتُهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ الْقَوْمُ أَمَّا النَّعْتُ فَقَدْ أَصَابَ

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “On the night I was taken on the night journey, then I woke in Makkah...” He said: “I was cut off from my affair and knew that the people would call me a liar.” He said: “So I sat apart, saddened. Then the enemy of Allah, Abu Jahl, passed by me. He came and sat with me, saying mockingly, ‘Did anything happen?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘What is it?’ I said, ‘I was taken on a night journey last night.’ He said, ‘To where?’ I said, ‘To Bayt al-Maqdis.’ He said, ‘Then you woke among us?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He did not make it appear that he disbelieved me, fearing that I would deny the hadith if he called his people to me. He said, ‘If I call your people to you, will you tell them?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ Abu Jahl said, ‘O assembly of Banu Kaʿb b. Luʾayy, come here.’ The gatherings emptied and they came and sat with the two of us. He said, ‘Tell your people what you told me.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘I was taken on a night journey last night.’ They said, ‘To where?’ I said, ‘To Bayt al-Maqdis.’ They said, ‘Then you woke among us?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ Some of them believed, and some put their hand on their head in astonishment at the lie. Among the people were those who had traveled to that land and seen the mosque. They said, ‘Can you describe the mosque for us?’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘I began to describe it for them, and I kept describing until some of the description became confused for me. Then the mosque was brought and placed before me, and I described it while looking at it.’ And with this there was also something else that I forgot. The people said, ‘As for the description, he got it right.’”

     Meat was one day brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and a foreleg was offered to him, a part which he liked. He sliced with his teeth a piece out of it and said: I shall be the leader of mankind on the Day of Resurrection. Do you know why? Allah would gather in one plain the earlier and the later (of the human race) on the Day of Resurrection. Then the voice of the proclaimer would be heard by all of them and the eyesight would penetrate through all of them and the sun would come near. People would then experience a degree of anguish, anxiety and agony which they shall not be able to bear and they shall not be able to stand. Some people would say to the others: Don you see in which trouble you are? Don't you see what (misfortune) has overtaken you? Why don't you find one who should intercede for you with your Lord? Some would say to the others: Go to Adam. And they would go to Adam and say: O Adam, thou art the father of mankind. Allah created thee by His own Hand and breathed in thee of His spirit and ordered the angels to prostrate before thee. Intercede for us with thy Lord Don't you see in what (trouble) we are? Don't you see what (misfortune) has overtaken us? Adam would say: Verily, my Lord is angry, to an extent to which He had never been angry before nor would He be angry afterward. Verily, He forbade me (to go near) that tree and I disobeyed Him. I am concerned with my own self. Go to someone else; go to Noah. They would come to Noah and would say: O Noah, thou art the first of the Messengers (sent) on the earth (after Adam), and Allah named thee as a" Grateful Servant," intercede for us with thy Lord. Don't you see in what (trouble) we are? Don't you see what (misfortune) has overtaken us? He would say: Verily, my Lord is angry today as He had never been angry before, and would never be angry afterwards. There had emanated a curse from me with which I cursed my people. I am concerned with only myself, I am concerned only with myself; you better go to Ibrahim (peace be upon him). They would go to Ibrahim and say: Thou art the apostle of Allah and His Friend amongst the inhabitants of the earth; intercede for us with thy Lord. Don't you see in which (trouble) we are? Don't you see what (misfortune) has overtaken us? Ibrahim would say to them: Verily, my Lord is today angry as He had never been angry before and would never be angry afterwards. and (Ibrahim) would mention his lies (and then say): I am concerned only with myself, I am concerned only with myself. You better go to someone else: go to Moses. They would come to Moses (peace be upon him) and say: O Moses, thou art Messenger of Allah, Allah blessed thee with His messengership and His conversation amongst people. Intercede for us with thy Lord. Don't you see in what (trouble) we are? Don't you see what (misfortune) has overtaken us? Moses (peace be upon him) would say to them: Verily. my Lord is angry as He had never been angry before and would never be angry afterwards. I, in fact, killed a person whom I had not been ordered to kill. I am concerned with myself, I am concerned with myself. You better go to Jesus (peace be upon him). They would come to Jesus and would say: O Jesus, thou art the messenger of Allah and thou conversed with people in the cradle, (thou art) His Word which I-Ie sent down upon Mary. and (thou art) the Spirit from Him; so intercede for us with thy Lord. Don't you see (the trouble) in which we are? Don't you see (the misfortune) that has overtaken us? Jesus (peace be upon him) would say: Verily, my Lord is angry today as He had never been angry before or would ever be angry afterwards. He mentioned no sin of his. (He simply said: ) I am concerned with myself, I am concerned with myself; you go to someone else: better go to Muhammad ﷺ. They would come to me and say: O Mahammad, thou art the messenger of Allah and the last of the apostles. Allah has pardoned thee all thy previous and later sins. Intercede for us with thy Lord; don't you see in which (trouble) we are? Don't you see what (misfortune) has overtaken us? I shall then set off and come below the Throne and fall down prostrate before my Lord; then Allah would reveal to me and inspire me with some of His Praises and Glorifications which He had not revealed to anyone before me. He would then say: Muhammad, raise thy head; ask and it would be granted; intercede and intercession would be accepted I would then raise my head and say: O my Lord, my people, my people. It would be said: O Muhammad, bring in by the right gate of Paradise those of your people who would have no account to render. They would share with the people some other door besides this door. The Prophet then said: By Him in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad, verify the distance between two door leaves of the Paradise is as great as between Mecca and Hajar, or as between Mecca and Busra.

     ✧ When the Messenger of God ﷺ conquered Makkah, he appointed al-Zubayr b. al-ʿAwwām over one of the two flanks and Khālid b. al-Walīd over the other. He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ saw me among a throng and called out to me. I said, “At your service, O Messenger of God.” He said, “Call the Anṣār for me.” So I called them and they gathered around the Messenger of God ﷺ as if they had an appointment. He said, “O company of the Anṣār, Quraysh have gathered against us. When you meet them, mow them down completely until you join me at al-Ṣafā—al-Ṣafā is your meeting place.” Abū Hurayrah said: We did not meet anyone among them but we did such-and-such to him. Then Abū Sufyān came and said, “O Messenger of God, you have made permissible the green (youth) of Quraysh. No Quraysh after today.” The Messenger of God ﷺ said, “Whoever closes his door is safe, whoever enters Abū Sufyān’s house is safe, and whoever throws down his weapon is safe.” The stalwarts and nobles of Quraysh sought refuge at the Kaʿbah—that is, they entered it. He said: Then the Messenger of God ﷺ came and circumambulated the House. He began passing by those idols and jabbing them with the tip of his bow, saying, {Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Indeed falsehood is ever vanishing} [al-Isrāʾ: 81], until when he finished and prayed, he came and grasped the two doorposts, then said, “O company of Quraysh, what do you say?” They said, “We say: a nephew and a cousin, merciful and noble.” Then he repeated the words to them, and they said the like. He said, “Indeed I say as my brother Yūsuf said: {No blame upon you today. God forgives you, and He is the Most Merciful of the merciful} [Yūsuf: 92].” So they went out and pledged allegiance to him upon Islam. Then he came to al-Ṣafā for the appointment with the Anṣār. He stood on al-Ṣafā in a place from which he could see the House, praised and extolled God, and mentioned His support for him. The Anṣār said, while they were below him, “As for the man, compassion for his relatives and desire for his kinsfolk have overtaken him.” Then revelation came to him about that. Abū Hurayrah said: When revelation came to the Messenger of God ﷺ, none of us was able to raise his gaze toward him until the revelation passed from him. When the revelation ended, he said, “Well now, O company of the Anṣār! You said: ‘As for the man, compassion for his relatives and desire for his kinsfolk have overtaken him.’ By God, I am indeed the Messenger of God. I emigrated to God, then to you. Life is your life and death is your death.” Abū Hurayrah said: I saw the elders weeping until tears wetted their beards. Then they said, “An excuse to God and His Messenger. By God, we said nothing but out of concern for God and His Messenger.” He said, “Indeed God and His Messenger have believed you and accepted your words.”

     ✧ I was walking with the Prophet ﷺ in a field in Madinah while he was leaning on a palm branch. He passed by a group of Jews. Some of them said, “Would that you ask him,” and others said, “Do not ask him, for he will make you hear what you dislike.” They stood up to him and said, “O Abū al-Qāsim, tell us about the spirit.” He stood for a while, raised his head, and we recognized that revelation was coming to him, until the revelation ascended. Then he said, {The spirit is from the command of my Lord, and you have not been given of knowledge except a little} [al-Isrāʾ: 85].

     فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا} [الإسراء 110] قَالَ نَزَلَتْ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ مُخْتَفٍ بِمَكَّةَ فَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ رَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَإِذَا سَمِعَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ سَبُّوا الْقُرْآنَ وَمَنْ أَنْزَلَهُ وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِ فَقَالَ لِنَبِيِّهِ ﷺ {وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ} [الإسراء 110] أَيْ بِقِرَاءَتِكَ فَيَسْمَعَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ فَيَسُبُّوا الْقُرْآنَ {وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا} [الإسراء 110] أَصْحَابَكَ فَلَا يَسْمَعُونَ {وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلًا} [الإسراء 110]

     (regarding): 'Neither say your, prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.' (17.110) This Verse was revealed while Messenger of Allah ﷺ was hiding himself in Mecca. When he prayed with his companions, he used to raise his voice with the recitation of Qur'an, and if the pagans happened to hear him, they would abuse the Qur'an, the One who revealed it and the one who brought it. Therefore Allah said to His Prophet: 'Neither say your prayer aloud.' (17.110) i.e. do not recite aloud lest the pagans should hear you, but follow a way between. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4722)

     ✧ No one was given the knowledge that he was given. And God knew what he said to himself about that. He said to him, “O Mūsā, among My servants is one to whom I have given knowledge that I have not given you.” He said, “My Lord, which of Your servants?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “Then direct me to this man to whom You have given knowledge that You have not given me, so that I may learn from him.” He said, “Part of your provision will direct you to him.” He said to his young companion Yūshaʿ, {I will not cease until I reach the junction of the two seas or continue for a long period} [al-Kahf: 60]. Among what they had taken as provision was a salted fish in a basket, and they used to eat from it at evening and morning. When they reached the rock by the seashore, his young companion placed the basket on the shore. The fish touched the moist earth of the sea and moved in the basket, overturned the basket, and slipped into the sea. When they had passed beyond, the morning came, and he said, {Bring us our breakfast. We have certainly met with fatigue in this journey of ours} [al-Kahf: 62]. The young companion remembered and said, {Did you see when we retired to the rock? Indeed I forgot the fish, and none made me forget it except Satan, that I should remember it. And it took its way into the sea amazingly} [al-Kahf: 63]. Mūsā ﷺ remembered what had been promised to him, that part of their provision would direct him to him, and said, {That is what we were seeking} [al-Kahf: 64]. This was their need. {So they returned upon their tracks, retracing} [al-Kahf: 64], following their footprints until they reached the rock where the fish had done what it did. Mūsā ﷺ saw the trace of the fish. Then they followed the fish’s trail, walking on the water, until they reached an island among the islands of the sea. {They found a servant from among Our servants to whom We had given mercy from Us and taught him knowledge from Our presence. Mūsā said to him, “May I follow you on condition that you teach me of what you have been taught sound judgment?” He said, “You will never be able to have patience with me. And how can you be patient with that which you do not encompass in awareness?”} [al-Kahf: 66] until His saying, {until I bring about for you mention of it} [al-Kahf: 70], meaning until I bring about that for you. {So they set out until when they had boarded the ship, he made a hole in it} [al-Kahf: 71] until His saying, {So they set out until when they met a boy} [al-Kahf: 74] on the seashore—boys playing—and he took hold of the most radiant of them and killed him. {He said, “Have you killed a pure soul for other than a soul? You have certainly done a dreadful thing.” He said, “Did I not say to you that you will never be able to have patience with me?”} [al-Kahf: 74] Ibn ʿAbbās said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said, “At that moment the Prophet of God Mūsā felt ashamed and said, {If I ask you about anything after this, then do not keep me as a companion. You have obtained from me an excuse. So they set out until when they came to the people of a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to entertain them as guests. They found in it a wall about to collapse, so he set it upright} [al-Kahf: 76]. He recited until {I will inform you of the interpretation of that over which you could not be patient. As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working at sea, and I intended to damage it} [al-Kahf: 78]. He recited until {Behind them was a king seizing every ship by force} [al-Kahf: 79]. In Ubayy’s reading it is “seizing every sound ship by force.” {I intended to damage it} [al-Kahf: 79] so that the king would not take it. When they passed beyond the king, they repaired it and benefited from it, and it remained theirs. {And as for the boy, his parents were believers} [al-Kahf: 80]. He recited until {That is the interpretation of what you could not be patient over} [al-Kahf: 82]. Then a bird came and began dipping its beak into the sea. He said, “Do you know what this bird says?” He said, “No.” He said, “This one says: Your knowledge that you two know in the knowledge of God is only like what I remove with my beak from this entire sea.”

     ✧ That Mūsā ﷺ who went seeking knowledge is not the Mūsā of the Children of Israel. He said, “Did you hear it, O Saʿīd?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “Nawf has lied. Ubayy b. Kaʿb narrated to us, saying: I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: While Mūsā ﷺ was among his people reminding them of the days of God—and the days of God are His blessings and trials—he said, ‘I know of no one on earth better or more knowledgeable than me.’ So God revealed to him, ‘I know better who is good, or with whom it is. Indeed there is a man on earth more knowledgeable than you.’ He said, ‘My Lord, direct me to him.’ It was said to him, ‘Take as provision a salted fish, for wherever you lose the fish…’ He said: ‘He and his young companion set out until they reached the rock, and he was blinded. He departed and left his young companion. The fish stirred in the water and did not cease, whenever it settled, but to become like a hole.’ He said: His young companion said, ‘Should I not catch up with the Prophet of God ﷺ and inform him?’ He said, ‘But he forgot. When they had passed beyond, he said to his young companion, {Bring us our breakfast. We have certainly met with fatigue in this journey of ours} [al-Kahf: 62].’ He said, ‘No fatigue touched them until they had passed beyond.’ He said, ‘Then he remembered and said, {Did you see when we retired to the rock? Indeed I forgot the fish, and none made me forget it except Satan, that I should remember it. And it took its way into the sea amazingly. He said, “That is what we were seeking.” So they returned upon their tracks, retracing} [al-Kahf: 64].’ So he was shown the place of the fish, and he said, ‘Here it was described to me.’ He said, ‘Then he went seeking, and it was al-Khiḍr, wrapped in a garment, lying on his back. He said, “Peace be upon you.” He uncovered the garment from his face and said, “And upon you be peace. Who are you?” He said, “I am Mūsā.” He said, “Who is Mūsā?” He said, “Mūsā of the Children of Israel.” He said, “What brought you?” He said, “I have come so that you may teach me of what you have been taught sound judgment.” He said, “You will never be able to have patience with me. And how can you be patient with that which you do not encompass in awareness?” [al-Kahf: 66]—something I was commanded to do, and when you see me, you will not be patient. He said, “You will find me, if God wills, patient, and I will not disobey you in any matter. He said, “If you follow me, then do not ask me about anything until I bring about for you mention of it.” So they set out until when they had boarded the ship, he made a hole in it} [al-Kahf: 69]. He said, ‘He set upon it.’ Mūsā ﷺ said to him, {Have you made a hole in it to drown its people? You have certainly done a grave thing. He said, “Did I not say that you will never be able to have patience with me?” He said, “Do not take me to task for what I forgot, and do not burden me in my affair with difficulty.” So they set out until when they met} [al-Kahf: 71] boys playing. He said, ‘He went to one of them, according to apparent judgment, and killed him.’ He said, ‘At that Mūsā was terrified with a dreadful terror. {He said, “Have you killed a pure soul for other than a soul? You have certainly done a dreadful thing.”} [al-Kahf: 74].’ The Messenger of God ﷺ said, ‘At this point, may God have mercy on us and on Mūsā. Had he not hastened, he would have seen wonders, but he was seized by a sense of shame before his companion.’ He said, {He said, “If I ask you about anything after this, then do not keep me as a companion. You have obtained from me an excuse.”} [al-Kahf: 76] And had he been patient, he would have seen wonders. He said, ‘Whenever he mentioned any of the prophets, he began with himself: May God have mercy on us and on my brother this one. May God have mercy on us.’ He said, {So they set out until when they came to the people of a town} [al-Kahf: 77], a stingy people. They went around the gatherings, {they asked its people for food, but they refused to entertain them as guests. They found in it a wall about to collapse, so he set it upright. He said, “If you wished, you could have taken a payment for it.” He said, “This is the parting between me and you. I will inform you of the interpretation of what you could not be patient over. As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working at sea} [al-Kahf: 77] to the end of the verse. So when the one who was seizing them came, he found it damaged and passed it by, and they repaired it with a plank. And as for the boy, he was stamped as a disbeliever on the day he was stamped; his parents had become attached to him, and had he reached maturity he would have overwhelmed them with transgression and disbelief. {So we intended that their Lord should replace him for them with one better in purity and closer in mercy. And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city} [al-Kahf: 80], the verse.

     ✧ I said to Ibn ʿAbbās, “Nawf al-Bakālī claims that Mūsā of the Children of Israel is not the Mūsā of al-Khiḍr.” He said, “The enemy of God has lied. Ubayy b. Kaʿb narrated to us from the Messenger of God ﷺ, who said: Mūsā ﷺ stood as a speaker among the Children of Israel. It was said to him, ‘Which of the people is most knowledgeable?’ He said, ‘I.’ So God reproached him for not referring knowledge to Him, and revealed to him, ‘Rather, a servant among My servants at the junction of the two seas is more knowledgeable than you.’ He said, ‘My Lord, how is the way to him?’ He said, ‘Take a fish in a basket, and wherever you lose the fish, follow it.’ Mūsā set out with his young companion Yūshaʿ b. Nūn, and with them was the fish, until they reached a rock and stopped there. Mūsā ﷺ laid down his head and slept. Sufyān said in other than ʿAmr’s narration: At the base of the rock was a spring called the Spring of Life. Nothing touched by its water but that it lives. The fish was touched by the water of that spring, stirred, and slipped out of the basket into the sea. When Mūsā woke up, he said to his young companion, {Bring us our breakfast. We have certainly met with fatigue in this journey of ours} [al-Kahf: 62]. He said, ‘He did not find the fatigue until he had passed beyond what he was commanded.’ His young companion Yūshaʿ b. Nūn said to him, {Did you see when we retired to the rock? Indeed I forgot the fish, and none made me forget it except Satan, that I should remember it. And it took its way into the sea} [al-Kahf: 63]. Mūsā said to him, {That is what we were seeking. So they returned upon their tracks, retracing} [al-Kahf: 64]. They returned, following their footprints, and found a passage in the sea like an arch—the path of the fish. It was a wonder to them, and for the fish a passage. When they reached the rock, there was a man wrapped in a garment. Mūsā ﷺ greeted him. He said, ‘And where is peace in your land?’ Then he said, ‘I am Mūsā.’ He said, ‘Mūsā of the Children of Israel?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ He said, {May I follow you on condition that you teach me of what you have been taught sound judgment?} [al-Kahf: 66]. Al-Khiḍr said to him, ‘O Mūsā, you are upon knowledge from God’s knowledge that God has taught you, and I am upon knowledge from God’s knowledge that God has taught me and that you do not know.’ He said, ‘Rather I will follow you.’ He said, {If you follow me, then do not ask me about anything until I bring about for you mention of it. So they set out} [al-Kahf: 71] walking along the shore. A ship passed by them. Al-Khiḍr was recognized, and they carried them on board. They boarded, and a sparrow landed on the edge of the ship and dipped its beak into the sea. Al-Khiḍr said, ‘O Mūsā, my knowledge and your knowledge and the knowledge of all creatures in the knowledge of God is only the measure of what this sparrow dipped with its beak.’ He said, ‘Mūsā had hardly noticed when al-Khiḍr went to the front of the ship and made a hole in it. Mūsā said, “People carried us without payment, and you went to their ship and made a hole in it {to drown its people? You have certainly done a grave thing. He said, “Did I not say that you will never be able to have patience with me?” He said, “Do not take me to task for what I forgot, and do not burden me in my affair with difficulty.” So they set out} [al-Kahf: 71].”’ Then there was a boy playing with other boys. Al-Khiḍr took hold of his head and cut it off. Mūsā said to him, {Have you killed a pure soul for other than a soul? You have certainly done a dreadful thing. He said, “Did I not say to you that you will never be able to have patience with me?” He said, “If I ask you about anything after this, then do not keep me as a companion. You have obtained from me an excuse.” So they set out until when they came to the people of a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to entertain them as guests} [al-Kahf: 74]. Then al-Khiḍr passed by a wall {about to collapse, and he set it upright} [al-Kahf: 77]. Mūsā said to him, ‘We entered this town and they did not feed us or entertain us. {If you wished, you could have taken a payment for it.’ He said, “This is the parting between me and you. I will inform you of the interpretation of what you could not be patient over} [al-Kahf: 77].”’ He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said, ‘We wished that Mūsā had been patient so that we would be told about their affair.’ Ibn al-ʿAbbās used to read it, ‘And before them was a king seizing every ship by force,’ and ‘As for the boy, he was a disbeliever.’”

     ✧ I and this companion of mine disputed about the companion of Mūsā who asked for the way to meet him. Have you heard the Messenger of God ﷺ mention anything?” He said, “Yes, I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: While Mūsā was among a gathering of the Children of Israel, a man came to him and said, ‘Do you know anyone more knowledgeable than you?’ Mūsā ﷺ said, ‘No.’ Then God revealed to Mūsā, ‘Yes, Our servant Khiḍr.’ So Mūsā ﷺ asked for the way to meet him. God made the fish a sign for him, and it was said, ‘When you lose the fish, turn back, for you will meet him.’ Mūsā ﷺ followed the trace of the fish in the sea. Mūsā’s young companion said to Mūsā, {Did you see when we retired to the rock? Indeed I forgot the fish, and none made me forget it except Satan, that I should remember it} [al-Kahf: 63].” Mūsā ﷺ said, {That is what we were seeking. So they returned upon their tracks, retracing, and they found} [al-Kahf: 65] Khiḍr. Then what happened between the two of them is what God has recounted in His Book.

     بَعْضُهُنَّ إِنَّ فِي هَذَا مَالًا وَإِنَّا إِنْ فَتَحْنَاهُ لَمْ تُصَدِّقْنَا امْرَأَةُ الْمَلِكِ بِمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهِ فَحَمَلْنَهُ كَهَيْئَتِهِ لَمْ يُخْرِجْنَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا حَتَّى دَفَعْنَهُ إِلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا فَتَحَتْهُ رَأَتْ فِيهِ غُلَامًا فَأُلْقِيَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْهُ مَحَبَّةٌ لَمْ يُلْقَ مِنْهَا عَلَى أَحَدٍ قَطُّ {وَأَصْبَحَ فُؤَادُ أُمِّ مُوسَى فَارِغًا} [القصص 10] مِنْ ذِكْرِ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا مِنْ ذِكْرِ مُوسَى فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الذَّبَّاحُونَ بِأَمْرِهِ أَقْبَلُوا بِشِفَارِهِمْ إِلَى امْرَأَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ لِيَذْبَحُوهُ وَذَلِكَ مِنَ الْفُتُونِ يَا ابْنَ جُبَيْرٍ فَقَالَتْ لَهُمْ أَقِرُّوهُ فَإِنَّ هَذَا الْوَاحِدَ لَا يَزِيدُ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى آتِيَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَأَسْتَوْهِبَهُ مِنْهُ فَإِنْ وَهَبَهُ لِي كُنْتُمْ قَدْ أَحْسَنْتُمْ وَأَجْمَلْتُمْ وَإِنْ أَمَرَ بِذَبْحِهِ لَمْ أَلُمْكُمْ فَأَتَتْ فِرْعَوْنَ فَقَالَتْ {قُرَّةُ عَيْنٍ لِي وَلَكَ} فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يَكُونُ لَكِ فَأَمَّا لِي فَلَا حَاجَةَ لِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي يُحْلَفُ بِهِ لَوْ أَقَرَّ فِرْعَوْنُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ قُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ كَمَا أَقَرَّتِ امْرَأَتُهُ لَهَدَاهُ اللهُ كَمَا هَدَاهَا وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ حَرَمَهُ ذَلِكَ» فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى مَنْ حَوْلَهَا إِلَى كُلِّ امْرَأَةٍ لَهَا لَبَنٌ تَخْتَارُ لَهُ ظِئْرًا فَجَعَلَ كُلَّمَا أَخَذَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ لِتُرْضِعَهُ لَمْ يُقْبِلْ عَلَى ثَدْيِهَا حَتَّى أَشْفَقَتِ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ أَنْ يَمْتَنِعَ مِنَ اللَّبَنِ فَيَمُوتَ فَأَحْزَنَهَا ذَلِكَ فَأَمَرَتْ بِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ إِلَى السُّوقِ وَمَجْمَعِ النَّاسِ تَرْجُو أَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُ ظِئْرًا تَأْخُذُهُ مِنْهَا فَلَمْ يَقْبَلْ فَأَصْبَحَتْ أُمُّ مُوسَى وَالِهًا فَقَالَتْ لِأُخْتِهِ قُصِّي أَثَرَهُ وَاطْلُبِيهِ هَلْ تَسْمَعِينَ لَهُ ذِكْرًا أَحَيٌّ ابْنِي أَمْ أُكْلَتَهُ الدَّوَابُّ وَنَسِيَتْ مَا كَانَ اللهُ وَعَدَهَا فِيهِ [174] فَبَصُرَتْ بِهِ أُخْتُهُ عَنْ جُنُبٍ وَالْجُنُبُ أَنْ يَسْمُوَ بَصَرُ الْإِنْسَانِ إِلَى الشَّيْءِ الْبَعِيدِ وَهُوَ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ لَا يَشْعُرُ بِهِ فَقَالَتْ مِنَ الْفَرَحِ حِينَ أَعْيَاهُمُ الظُّئُورَاتُ أَنَا {أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ يَكْفُلُونَهُ لَكُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُ نَاصِحُونَ} [القصص 12] فَأَخَذُوهَا فَقَالُوا مَا يُدْرِيكَ مَا نُصْحُهُمْ؟ هَلْ تَعْرِفُونَهُ؟ حَتَّى شَكُّوا فِي ذَلِكَ وَذَلِكَ مِنَ الْفُتُونِ يَا ابْنَ جُبَيْرٍ فَقَالَتْ نَصِيْحَتُهُمْ لَهُ وَشَفَقَتُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ رَغْبَتُهُمْ فِي صِهْرِ الْمَلِكِ وَرَجَاءُ مَنْفَعَةِ الْمَلِكِ فَأَرْسَلُوهَا فَانْطَلَقَتْ إِلَى أُمِّهَا فَأَخْبَرَتْهَا الْخَبَرَ فَجَاءَتْ أُمُّهُ فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْهُ فِي حِجْرِهَا ثَوَى إِلَى ثَدْيِهَا فَمَصَّهُ حَتَّى امْتَلَأَ جَنْبَاهُ رِيًّا وَانْطَلَقَ الْبُشَرَاءُ إِلَى امْرَأَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ يُبَشِّرُونَهَا أَنْ قَدْ وَجَدْنَا لِابْنِكِ ظِئْرًا فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهَا فَأَتَتْ بِهَا وَبِهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ مَا يَصْنَعُ قَالَتْ امْكُثِي تُرْضِعِي ابْنِي هَذَا فَإِنِّي لَمْ أُحِبَّ شَيْئًا حُبَّهُ قَطُّ قَالَتْ أُمُّ مُوسَى لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَدَعَ بَيْتِي وَوَلَدِي فَيَضِيعَ فَإِنْ طَابَتْ نَفْسُكِ أَنْ تُعْطِينِيهِ فَأَذْهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِي فَيَكُونَ مَعِي لَا آلُوهُ خَيْرًا فَعَلْتُ فَإِنِّي غَيْرُ تَارِكَةٍ بَيْتِي وَوَلَدِي وَذَكَرَتْ أُمُّ مُوسَى مَا كَانَ اللهُ وَعَدَهُ فَتَعَاسَرَتْ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَأَيْقَنَتْ أَنَّ اللهَ مُنْجِزٌ مَوْعُودَهُ فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِهَا مِنْ يَوْمِهَا فَأَنْبَتَهُ اللهُ نَبَاتًا حَسَنًا وَحُفِظَ لِمَا قَدْ قَضَى فِيهِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَهُمْ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْقَرْيَةِ مُمْتَنِعِينَ مِنَ السُّخْرَةِ وَالظُّلْمِ مَا كَانَ فِيهِمْ فَلَمَّا تَرَعْرَعَ قَالَتِ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ لِأُمِّ مُوسَى أَزِيْرِينِي ابْنِي فَوَعَدَتْهَا يَوْمًا تُزِيرُهَا إِيَّاهُ فِيهِ وَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ لِخَازِنِهَا وَقَهَارِمَتِهَا لَا يَبْقَيَنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا اسْتَقْبَلَ ابْنِي الْيَوْمَ بِهَدِيَّةٍ وَكَرَامَةٍ لَأَرَى ذَلِكَ فِيهِ وَأَنَا بَاعِثَةٌ أَمِينًا يُحْصِي كُلَّ مَا يَصْنَعُ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْكُمْ فَلَمْ تَزَلِ الْهَدَايَا وَالْكَرَامَةُ وَالنِّحَلُ تَسْتَقْبِلُهُ مِنْ حِينِ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِ أُمِّهِ إِلَى أَنْ دَخَلَ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا نَحَلَتْهُ وَأَكْرَمَتْهُ وَفَرِحَتْ بِهِ وَنَحَلَتْ أُمَّهُ بِحُسْنِ أَثَرِهَا عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ لَآتِيَنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَيَنْحَلَنَّهُ وَلَيُكْرِمَنَّهُ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَتْ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ جَعَلَهُ فِي حِجْرِهِ فَتَنَاوَلَ مُوسَى لِحْيَةَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَمَدَّهَا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ [175] قَالَ الْغُوَاةُ مِنْ أَعْدَاءِ اللهِ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَلَا تَرَى مَا وَعَدَ اللهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ نَبِيَّهُ إِنَّهُ زَعَمَ أَنْ يَرُبَّكَ وَيَعْلُوكَ وَيَصْرَعَكَ؟ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الذَّبَّاحِينَ لِيَذْبَحُوهُ وَذَلِكَ مِنَ الْفُتُونِ يَا ابْنَ جُبَيْرٍ بَعْدَ كُلِّ بَلَاءٍ ابْتُلِيَ بِهِ وَأُرِيدَ بِهِ فُتُونًا فَجَاءَتِ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ تَسْعَى إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ فَقَالَتْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ فِي هَذَا الْغُلَامِ الَّذِي وَهَبْتَهُ لِي؟ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَرَيْنَهُ إِنَّهُ يَزْعُمُ سَيَصْرَعُنِي وَيَعْلُونِي قَالَتِ اجْعَلْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ أَمْرًا يُعْرَفُ فِيهِ الْحَقُّ ائْتِ بِجَمْرَتَيْنِ وَلُؤْلُؤَتَيْنِ فَقَرِّبْهُنَّ إِلَيْهِ فَإِنْ بَطَشَ بِاللُّؤْلُؤِ وَاجْتَنَبَ الْجَمْرَتَيْنِ عَرَفْتَ أَنَّهُ يَعْقِلُ وَإِنْ تَنَاوَلَ الْجَمْرَتَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُرِدِ اللُّؤْلُؤَتَيْنِ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ أَحَدًا لَا يُؤْثِرُ الْجَمْرَتَيْنِ عَلَى اللُّؤْلُؤَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ يَعْقِلُ فَقَرَّبَ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ فَتَنَاوَلَ الْجَمْرَتَيْنِ فَنَزَعُوهُمَا مِنْهُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَحْرِقَا يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ أَلَا تَرَى؟ فَصَرَفَهُ اللهُ عَنْهُ بَعْدَ مَا كَانَ قَدْ هَمَّ بِهِ وَكَانَ اللهُ بَالِغًا فِيهِ أَمْرَهُ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ وَكَانَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَخْلُصُ إِلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ بِظُلْمٍ وَلَا سُخْرَةٍ امْتَنَعُوا كُلَّ الِامْتِنَاعِ فَبَيْنَمَا مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَمْشِي فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ إِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتَتِلَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا فِرْعَوْنِيٌّ وَالْآخَرُ إِسْرَائِيلِيٌّ فَاسْتَغَاثَهُ الْإِسْرَائِيلِيُّ عَلَى الْفِرْعَوْنِيِّ فَغَضِبَ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ غَضَبًا شَدِيدًا لِأَنَّهُ تَنَاوَلَهُ وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ مَنْزِلَهُ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَحِفْظَهُ لَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُ النَّاسُ إِلَّا أَنَّمَا ذَلِكَ مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ إِلَّا أُمُّ مُوسَى إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ اللهُ سُبْحَانَهُ أَطْلَعَ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ عَلَى مَا لَمْ يُطْلِعْ عَلَيْهِ غَيْرَهُ وَوَكَزَ مُوسَى الْفِرْعَوْنِيَّ فَقَتَلَهُ وَلَيْسَ يَرَاهُمَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا اللهُ ﷻ والْإِسْرَائِيلِيُّ فَقَالَ مُوسَى حِينَ قَتَلَ الرَّجُلَ {هَذَا مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِنَّهُ عَدُوٌّ مُضِلٌّ مُبِينٌ} [القصص 15] ثُمَّ قَالَ {رَبِّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَغَفَرَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ} [القصص 16] فَأَصْبَحَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ خَائِفًا يَتَرَقَّبُ الْأَخْبَارَ فَأُتِيَ فِرْعَوْنُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَتَلُوا رَجُلًا مِنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ فَخُذْ لَنَا بِحَقِّكَ وَلَا تُرَخِّصْ لَهُمْ فَقَالَ ابْغُونِي قَاتِلَهُ مَنْ شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ الْمَلِكَ وَإِنْ كَانَ صَفْوُهُ مَعَ قَوْمِهِ لَا يَسْتَقِيمُ لَهُ أَنْ يُقِيدَ بِغَيْرِ بَيِّنَةٍ وَلَا ثَبْتٍ فَاطْلُبُوا لِي عِلْمَ ذَلِكَ آخُذْ لَكُمْ بِحَقِّكُمْ [176] فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَطُوفُونَ لَا يَجِدُونَ ثَبْتًا إِذَا مُوسَى مِنَ الْغَدِ قَدْ رَأَى ذَلِكَ الْإِسْرَائِيلِيَّ يُقَاتِلُ رَجُلًا مِنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ آخَرَ فَاسْتَغَاثَهُ الْإِسْرَائِيلِيُّ عَلَى الْفِرْعَوْنِيِّ فَصَادَفَ مُوسَى قَدْ نَدِمَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْهُ وَكَرِهَ الَّذِي رَأَى فَغَضِبَ الْإِسْرَائِيلِيُّ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَبْطِشَ بِالْفِرْعَوْنِيِّ فَقَالَ لِلْإِسْرَائِيلِيِّ لِمَا فَعَلَ أَمْسِ وَالْيَوْمَ إِنَّكَ لَغَوِيٌّ مُبِينٌ فَنَظَرَ الْإِسْرَائِيلِيُّ إِلَى مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ بَعْدَمَا قَالَ لَهُ مَا قَالَ فَإِذْ هُوَ غَضْبَانُ كَغَضَبِهِ بِالْأَمْسِ الَّذِي قَتَلَ فِيهِ الْفِرْعَوْنِيَّ فَخَافَ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَعْدَمَا قَالَ لَهُ إِنَّكَ لَغَوِيٌّ مُبِينٌ أَنْ يَكُونَ إِيَّاهُ أَرَادَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَرَادَهُ وَإِنَّمَا أَرَادَ الْفِرْعَوْنِيَّ فَخَافَ الْإِسْرَائِيلِيُّ وَقَالَ يَا مُوسَى أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَقْتُلَنِي كَمَا قَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا بِالْأَمْسِ وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ لَهُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَكُونَ إِيَّاهُ أَرَادَ مُوسَى لِيَقْتُلَهُ فَتَتَارَكَا وَانْطَلَقَ الْفِرْعَوْنِيُّ فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ بِمَا سَمِعَ مِنَ الْإِسْرَائِيلِيِّ مِنَ الْخَبَرِ حِينَ يَقُولُ أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَقْتُلَنِي كَمَا قَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا بِالْأَمْسِ فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ الذَّبَّاحِينَ لِيَقْتُلُوا مُوسَى فَأَخَذَ رُسُلُ فِرْعَوْنَ الطَّرِيقَ الْأَعْظَمَ يَمْشُونَ عَلَى هَيْئَتِهِمْ يَطْلُبُونَ مُوسَى وَهُمْ لَا يَخَافُونَ أَنْ يَفُوتَهُمْ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ شِيعَةِ مُوسَى مِنْ أَقْصَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَاخْتَصَرَ طَرِيقًا حَتَّى سَبَقَهُمْ إِلَى مُوسَى فَأَخْبَرَهُ الْخَبَرَ وَذَلِكَ مِنَ الْفُتُونِ يَا ابْنَ جُبَيْرٍ فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى مُتَوَجِّهًا نَحْوَ مَدْيَنَ لَمْ يَلْقَ بَلَاءً قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ عِلْمٌ إِلَّا حُسْنُ ظَنِّهِ بِرَبِّهِ تَعَالَى فَإِنَّهُ قَالَ {عَسَى رَبِّي أَنْ يَهْدِيَنِي سَوَاءَ السَّبِيلِ وَلَمَّا وَرَدَ مَاءَ مَدْيَنَ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ أُمَّةً مِنَ النَّاسِ يَسْقُونَ وَوَجَدَ مِنْ دُونِهِمُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ تَذُودَانِ} [القصص 23] يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ حَابِسَتَيْنِ عَنْهُمَا فَقَالَ لَهُمَا مَا خَطْبُكُمَا مُعْتَزِلَتَيْنِ لَا تَسْقِيَانِ مَعَ النَّاسِ؟ فَقَالَتَا لَيْسَ لَنَا قُوَّةٌ نُزَاحِمُ الْقَوْمَ وَإِنَّمَا نَنْتَظِرُ فُضُولَ حِيَاضِهِمْ فَسَقَى لَهُمَا فَجَعَلَ يَغْتَرِفُ فِي الدَّلْوِ مَاءً كَثِيرًا حَتَّى كَانَ أَوَّلَ الرِّعَاءِ وَانْصَرَفَتَا بِغَنَمِهِمَا إِلَى أَبِيهِمَا وَانْصَرَفَ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَاسْتَظَلَّ بِشَجَرَةٍ وَقَالَ {رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنْزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ} [القصص 24] وَاسْتَنْكَرَ أَبُوهُمَا سُرْعَةَ صُدُورِهِمَا بِغَنَمِهِمَا حُفَّلًا بِطَانًا فَقَالَ إِنَّ لَكُمَا الْيَوْمَ لَشَأْنًا فَأَخْبَرَتَاهُ بِمَا صَنَعَ مُوسَى فَأَمَرَ إِحْدَاهُمَا أَنْ تَدْعُوَهُ [177] فَأَتَتْ مُوسَى فَدَعَتْهُ فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهُ قَالَ لَا تَخَفْ نَجَوْتَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ لَيْسَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ وَلَا لِقَوْمِهِ عَلَيْنَا سُلْطَانٌ وَلَسْنَا فِي مَمْلَكَتِهِ فَقَالَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا يَا أَبَتِ اسْتَأْجِرْهُ إِنَّ خَيْرَ مِنَ اسْتَأْجَرْتَ الْقَوِيُّ الْأَمِينُ فَاحْتَمَلَتْهُ الْغَيْرَةُ عَلَى أَنْ قَالَ لَهَا مَا يُدْرِيكِ مَا قُوَّتُهُ وَمَا أَمَانَتُهُ؟ قَالَتْ أَمَّا قُوَّتُهُ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ فِي الدَّلْوِ حِينَ سَقَى لَنَا لَمْ أَرَ رَجُلًا قَطُّ أَقْوَى فِي ذَلِكَ السَّقْيِ مِنْهُ وَأَمَّا الْأَمَانَةُ فَإِنَّهُ نَظَرَ إِلَيَّ حِينَ أَقْبَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَشَخَصْتُ لَهُ فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ أَنِّي امْرَأَةٌ صَوَّبَ رَأْسَهُ فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ حَتَّى بَلَّغْتُهُ رِسَالَتَكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي امْشِي خَلْفِي وَانْعَتِي لِيَ الطَّرِيقَ فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ إِلَّا وَهُوَ أَمِينٌ فَسُرِّيَ عَنْ أَبِيهِا وَصَدَّقَهَا وَظَنَّ بِهِ الَّذِي قَالَتْ فَقَالَ لَهُ هَلْ لَكَ {أَنْ أُنْكِحَكَ إِحْدَى ابْنَتَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ عَلَى أَنْ تَأْجُرَنِي ثَمَانِيَ حِجَجٍ فَإِنْ أَتْمَمْتَ عَشْرًا فَمِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَيْكَ سَتَجِدُنِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ} [القصص 27] فَفَعَلَ فَكَانَتْ عَلَى نَبِيِّ اللهِ مُوسَى ثَمَانِي سِنِينَ وَاجِبَةً وَكَانَتْ سَنَتَانِ عِدَةً مِنْهُ فَقَضَى الله عَنْهُ عِدَتَهُ فَأَتَمَّهَا عَشْرًا قَالَ سَعِيدٌ فَلَقِيَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ مِنْ عُلَمَائِهِمْ قَالَ هَلْ تَدْرِي أَيُّ الْأَجَلَيْنِ قَضَى مُوسَى؟ قُلْتُ لَا وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ لَا أَدْرِي فَلَقِيتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ ثَمَانِيًا كَانَتْ عَلَى نَبِيِّ اللهِ وَاجِبَةً لَمْ يَكُنْ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ لِيَنْقُصَ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا وَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللهَ كَانَ قَاضِيًا عَنْ مُوسَى عِدَتَهُ الَّتِي وَعَدَهُ فَإِنَّهُ قَضَى عَشْرَ سِنِينَ فَلَقِيتُ النَّصْرَانِيَّ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ الَّذِي سَأَلْتَهُ فَأَخْبَرَكَ أَعْلَمُ مِنْكَ بِذَلِكَ قُلْتُ أَجَلْ وَأَوْلَى فَلَمَّا سَارَ مُوسَى بِأَهْلِهِ كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِ النَّاسِ وَالْعَصَا وَيَدِهِ مَا قَصَّ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ فَشَكَا إِلَى اللهِ سُبْحَانَهُ مَا يَتَخَوَّفُ مِنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ فِي الْقَتِيلِ وَعُقْدَةِ لِسَانِهِ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي لِسَانِهِ عُقْدَةٌ تَمْنَعُهُ مِنْ كَثِيرِ الْكَلَامِ وَسَأَلَ رَبَّهُ أَنْ يُعِينَهُ بِأَخِيهِ هَارُونَ يَكُونُ لَهُ رِدْءًا وَيَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْهُ بِكَثِيرٍ مِمَّا لَا يُفْصِحُ بِهِ لِسَانُهُ فَآتَاهُ اللهُ سُؤْلَهُ وَحَلَّ عُقْدَةً مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَأَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَى هَارُونَ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَلْقَاهُ [178] فَانْدَفَعَ مُوسَى بِعَصَاهُ حَتَّى لَقِيَ هَارُونَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَانْطَلَقَا جَمِيعًا إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ فَأَقَامَا عَلَى بَابِهِ حِينًا لَا يُؤْذَنُ لَهُمَا ثُمَّ أُذِنَ لَهُمَا بَعْدَ حِجَابٍ شَدِيدٍ فَقَالَا إِنَّا رَسُولَا رَبِّكَ قَالَ فَمَنْ رَبُّكَمَا؟ فَأَخْبَرَاهُ بِالَّذِي قَصَّ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ قَالَ فَمَا تُرِيدَانِ؟ وَذَكَّرَهُ الْقَتِيلَ فَاعْتَذَرَ بِمَا قَدْ سَمِعْتَ قَالَ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللهِ وَتُرْسِلَ مَعِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَأَبَى عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ ائْتِ بِآيَةٍ إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ فَأَلْقَى عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ حَيَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ فَاغِرَةٌ فَاهَا مُسْرِعَةٌ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمَّا رَآهَا فِرْعَوْنُ قَاصِدَةً إِلَيْهِ خَافَهَا فَاقْتَحَمَ عَنْ سَرِيرِهِ وَاسْتَغَاثَ بِمُوسَى أَنْ يَكُفَّهَا عَنْهُ فَفَعَلَ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَ يَدَهُ مِنْ جَيْبِهِ فَرَآهَا بَيْضَاءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوءٍ يَعْنِي مِنْ غَيْرِ بَرَصٍ ثُمَّ رَدَّهَا فَعَادَتْ إِلَى لَوْنِهَا الْأَوَّلِ فَاسْتَشَارَ الْمَلَأَ حَوْلَهُ فِيمَا رَأَى فَقَالُوا لَهُ هَذَانِ سَاحِرَانِ يُرِيدَانِ أَنْ يُخْرِجَاكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِكُمْ بِسِحْرِهِمَا وَيَذْهَبَا بِطَرِيقَتِكُمُ الْمُثْلَى يَعْنِي مُلْكَهُمُ الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ وَالْعَيْشِ فَأَبَوْا عَلَى مُوسَى أَنْ يُعْطُوهُ شَيْئًا مِمَّا طَلَبَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ اجْمَعْ لَهُمَا السَّحَرَةَ فَإِنَّهُمْ بِأَرْضِكَ كَثِيرٌ حَتَّى يَغْلِبَ سِحْرُكَ سِحْرَهُمَا فَأَرْسَلَ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ فَحُشِرَ لَهُ كُلُّ سَاحِرٍ مُتَعَالِمٍ فَلَمَّا أَتَوْا فِرْعَوْنَ قَالُوا بِمَ يَعْمَلُ هَذَا السَّاحِرُ؟ قَالُوا يَعْمَلُ بِالْحَيَّاتِ قَالُوا فَلَا وَاللهِ مَا أَحَدٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَعْمَلُ بِالسِّحْرِ بِالْحَيَّاتِ وَالْحِبَالِ وَالْعِصِيِّ الَّذِي نَعْمَلُ وَمَا أَجْرُنَا إِنْ نَحْنُ غَلَبْنَا؟ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَقَارِبِي وَخَاصَّتِي وَأَنَا صَانِعٌ إِلَيْكُمْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْبَبْتُمْ فَتَوَاعَدُوا يَوْمَ الزِّينَةِ وَأَنْ يُحْشَرَ النَّاسُ ضُحًى قَالَ سَعِيدٌ فَحَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ يَوْمَ الزِّينَةِ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي أَظْهَرَ اللهُ فِيهِ مُوسَى عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَالسَّحَرَةِ هُوَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا فِي صَعِيدٍ قَالَ النَّاسُ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ انْطَلِقُوا فَلْنَحْضُرْ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ إِنْ كَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ يَعْنُونَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ اسْتِهْزَاءً بِهِمَا [179] فَقَالُوا يَا مُوسَى لِقُدْرَتِهِمْ بِسِحْرِهِمْ إِمَّا أَنْ تُلْقِيَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ نَكُونَ نَحْنُ الْمُلْقِينَ قَالَ بَلْ أَلْقُوا {فَأَلْقَوْا حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْغَالِبُونَ} [الشعراء 44] فَرَأَى مُوسَى مِنْ سِحْرِهِمْ مَا أَوْجَسَ فِي نَفْسِهِ خِيفَةً فَأَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ فَلَمَّا أَلْقَاهَا صَارَتْ ثُعْبَانًا عَظِيمًا فَاغِرَةً فَاهَا فَجَعَلَتِ الْعَصَا تَلَبَّسُ بِالْحِبَالِ حَتَّى صَارَتْ جُرَزًا عَلَى الثُّعْبَانِ تَدْخُلُ فِيهِ حَتَّى مَا أَبْقَتْ عَصًا وَلَا حَبْلًا إِلَّا ابْتَلَعَتْهُ فَلَمَّا عَرَفَ السَّحَرَةُ ذَلِكَ قَالُوا لَوْ كَانَ هَذَا سِحْرًا لَمْ يَبْلُغْ مِنْ سِحْرِنَا كُلَّ هَذَا وَلَكِنَّهُ أَمْرٌ مِنَ اللهِ آمَنَّا بِاللهِ وَبِمَا جَاءَ بِهِ مُوسَى وَنَتُوبُ إِلَى اللهِ مِمَّا كُنَّا عَلَيْهِ فَكَسَرَ اللهُ ظَهْرَ فِرْعَوْنَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَوْطِنِ وَأَتْبَاعِهِ وَظَهَرَ الْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ {فَغُلِبُوا هُنَالِكَ وَانْقَلَبُوا صَاغِرِينَ} [الأعراف 119] وَامْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ بَارِزَةٌ تَدْعُو اللهَ بِالنَّصْرِ لِمُوسَى عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَأَشْيَاعِهِ فَمَنْ رَآهَا مِنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ ظَنَّ أَنَّهَا إِنَّمَا ابْتُذِلَتْ لِلْشَفَقَةِ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَأَشْيَاعِهِ وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ حُزْنُهَا وَهَمُّهَا لِمُوسَى فَلَمَّا طَالَ مُكْثُ مُوسَى بِمَوَاعِدِ فِرْعَوْنَ الْكَاذِبَةِ كُلَّمَا جَاءَهُ بِآيَةٍ وَعَدَهُ عِنْدَهَا أَنْ يُرْسِلَ مَعَهُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَإِذَا مَضَتْ أَخْلَفَ مَوْعِدَهُ وَقَالَ هَلْ يَسْتَطِيعُ رَبُّكَ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ غَيْرَ هَذَا؟ فَأَرْسَلَ اللهُ ﷻ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ {الطُّوفَانَ وَالْجَرَادَ وَالْقَمَّلَ وَالضَّفَادِعَ وَالدَّمَ آيَاتٍ مُفَصَّلَاتٍ} [الأعراف 133] كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَشْكُو إِلَى مُوسَى وَيَطْلُبُ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَكُفَّهَا عَنْهُ وَيُوَافِقُهُ عَلَى أَنْ يُرْسِلَ مَعَهُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَإِذَا كَفَّ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُ أَخْلَفَ مَوْعِدَهُ وَنَكْثَ عَهْدَهُ حَتَّى أُمِرَ مُوسَى بِالْخُرُوجِ بِقَوْمِهِ فَخَرَجَ بِهِمْ لَيْلًا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ فِرْعَوْنُ فَرَأَى أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ مَضَوْا أَرْسَلَ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ فَتَبِعَهُ بِجُنُودٍ عَظِيمَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَأَوْحَى اللهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى الْبَحْرِ إِذَا ضَرْبَكَ عَبْدِي مُوسَى بِعَصَاهُ فَانْفَرِقْ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ فِرْقَةً حَتَّى يُجَاوِزَ مُوسَى وَمَنْ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ الْتَقِ عَلَى مَنْ بَقِيَ بَعْدُ مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَأَشْيَاعِهِ فَنَسِيَ مُوسَى أَنْ يَضْرِبَ الْبَحْرَ بِالْعَصَا فَانْتَهَى إِلَى الْبَحْرِ وَلَهُ قَصَيفٌ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَضْرِبَهُ مُوسَى بِعَصَاهُ وَهُو غَافِلٌ فَيَصِيرَ عَاصِيًا لِلَّهِ [180] فَلَمَّا تَرَاءَى الْجَمْعَانِ تَقَارَبَا قَالَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ افْعَلْ مَا أَمَرَكَ بِهِ رَبُّكَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكْذِبْ وَلَمْ تَكْذِبْ قَالَ وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي إِذَا أَتَيْتُ الْبَحْرَ انْفَرَقَ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ فِرْقَةً حَتَّى أُجَاوِزَهُ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْعَصَا فَضَرَبَ الْبَحْرَ بِعَصَاهُ حِينَ دَنَا أَوَائِلُ جُنْدِ فِرْعَوْنَ مِنْ أَوَاخِرِ جُنْدِ مُوسَى فَانْفَرَقَ الْبَحْرُ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ رَبُّهُ وَكَمَا وُعِدَ مُوسَى فَلَمَّا أَنْ جَازَ مُوسَى وَأَصْحَابُهُ كُلُّهُمُ الْبَحْرَ وَدَخَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَأَصْحَابُهُ الْتَقَى عَلَيْهِمُ الْبَحْرُ كَمَا أُمِرَ فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَ مُوسَى الْبَحْرَ قَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ إِنَّا نَخَافُ أَلَّا يَكُونَ فِرْعَوْنُ غَرِقَ وَلَا نُؤْمِنُ بِهَلَاكِهِ فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ فَأَخْرَجَهُ لَهُ بِبَدَنِهِ حَتَّى اسْتَيْقَنُوا هَلَاكَهُ ثُمَّ مَرُّوا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ {عَلَى قَوْمٍ يَعْكِفُونَ عَلَى أَصْنَامٍ لَهُمْ قَالُوا يَا مُوسَى اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ مُتَبَّرٌ مَا هُمْ فِيهِ وَبَاطِلٌ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ} [الأعراف 138] قَدْ رَأَيْتُمْ مِنَ الْعِبَرِ وَسَمِعْتُمْ مَا يَكْفِيكُمْ وَمَضَى فَأَنْزَلَهُمْ مُوسَى مَنْزِلًا وَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَطِيعُوا هَارُونَ فَإِنِّي قَدِ اسْتَخْلَفْتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَإِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى رَبِّي وَأَجَّلَهُمْ ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِمْ فِيهَا فَلَمَّا أَتَى رَبَّهُ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَهُ فِي ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا وَقَدْ صَامَهُنَّ لَيْلَهُنَّ وَنَهَارَهُنَّ وَكَرِهَ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَ رَبَّهُ وَرِيحُ فِيهِ رِيحُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ فَتَنَاوَلَ مُوسَى مِنْ نَبَاتِ الْأَرْضِ شَيْئًا فَمَضَغَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَبُّهُ حِينَ أَتَاهُ لِمَ أَفْطَرْتَ؟ وَهُو أَعْلَمُ بِالَّذِي كَانَ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ إِنِّي كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُكَلِّمَكَ إِلَّا وَفَمِي طَيِّبُ الرِّيحِ قَالَ أَوَمَا عَلِمْتَ يَا مُوسَى أَنَّ رِيحَ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ؟ ارْجِعْ فَصُمْ عَشْرًا ثُمَّ ائْتِنِي فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ مَا أَمَرَهُ بِهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى قَوْمُ مُوسَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ إِلَيْهِمْ فِي الْأَجَلِ سَاءَهُمْ ذَلِكَ وَكَانَ هَارُونُ قَدْ خَطَبَهُمْ وَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ خَرَجْتُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ وَلِقَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ عِنْدَكُمْ عَوَارِي وَوَدَائِعُ وَلَكُمْ فِيهِمْ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ وَأَنَا أَرَى أَنْ تَحْتَسِبُوا مَا لَكُمْ عِنْدَهُمْ وَلَا أُحِلُّ لَكُمْ وَدِيعَةً اسْتُودِعْتُمُوهَا وَلَا عَارِيَةً وَلَسْنَا بِرَادِّينَ إِلَيْهِمْ شَيْئًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَلَا مُمْسِكِيهِ لِأَنْفُسِنَا [181] فَحَفَرَ حَفِيرًا وَأَمَرَ كُلَّ قَوْمٍ عِنْدَهُمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ مَتَاعٍ أَوْ حِلْيَةٍ أَنْ يَقْذِفُوهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْحَفِيرِ ثُمَّ أَوَقَدَ عَلَيْهِ النَّارَ فَأَخْرَجَهُ فَقَالَ لَا يَكُونُ لَنَا وَلَا لَهُمْ وَكَانَ السَّامِرِيُّ مِنْ قَوْمٍ يَعْبُدُونَ الْبَقَرَ جِيرَانٍ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَاحْتَمَلَ مَعَ مُوسَى وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حِينَ احْتَمَلُوا فَقُضِيَ لَهُ أَنْ رَأَى أَثَرًا فَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ قَبْضَةً فَمَرَّ بِهَارُونَ فَقَالَ لَهُ هَارُونُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَا سَامِرِيِّ أَلَا تُلْقِي مَا فِي يَدِكَ؟ وَهُوَ قَابِضٌ عَلَيْهِ لَا يَرَاهُ أَحَدٌ طُوَالَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ قَبْضَةٌ مِنْ أَثَرِ الرَّسُولِ الَّذِي جَاوَزَ بِكَمُ الْبَحْرَ فَلَا أُلْقِيهَا بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَنْ تَدْعُوَ اللهَ إِذَا أَلْقِيْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَا أُرِيدُ فَأَلْقَاهَا وَدَعَا لَهُ هَارُونُ فَقَالَ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَكُونَ عِجْلًا فَاجْتَمَعَ مَا كَانَ فِي الْحُفْرَةِ مِنْ مَتَاعٍ أَوْ حِلْيَةٍ أَوْ نُحَاسٍ أَوْ حَدِيدٍ فَصَارَ عِجْلًا أَجْوَفَ لَيْسَ فِيهِ رَوْحٌ لَهُ خُوَارٌ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لَا وَاللهِ مَا كَانَ لَهُ صَوْتٌ قَطُّ إِنَّمَا كَانَتِ الرِّيحُ تَدْخُلُ مِنْ دُبُرِهِ وَتَخْرُجُ مِنْ فِيهِ فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الصَّوْتُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِرَقًا فَقَالَتْ فِرْقَةٌ يَا سَامِرِيُّ مَا هَذَا وَأَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ؟ قَالَ هَذَا رَبُّكُمْ وَلَكِنَّ مُوسَى أَضَلَّ الطَّرِيقَ فَقَالَتْ فِرْقَةٌ لَا نُكَذِّبُ بِهَذَا حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْنَا مُوسَى فَإِنْ كَانَ رَبَّنَا لَمْ نَكُنْ ضَيَّعْنَاهُ وَعَجَزْنَا فِيهِ حِينَ رَأَيْنَا وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَبَّنَا فَإِنَّا نَتَّبِعُ قَوْلَ مُوسَى وَقَالَتْ فِرْقَةٌ هَذَا عَمَلُ الشَّيْطَانِ وَلَيْسَ بِرَبِّنَا وَلَنْ نُؤْمِنَ بِهِ وَلَا نُصَدِّقُ وَأُشْرِبَ فِرْقَةٌ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الصِّدْقَ بِمَا قَالَ السَّامِرِيُّ فِي الْعِجْلِ وَأَعْلَنُوا التَّكْذِيبَ بِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ هَارُونُ يَا قَوْمِ إِنَّمَا فُتِنْتُمْ بِهِ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَمُ الرَّحْمَنُ هَكَذَا قَالُوا فَمَا بَالُ مُوسَى وَعَدَنَا ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ أَخْلَفَنَا؟ هَذِهِ أَرْبَعُونَ قَدْ مَضَتْ فَقَالَ سُفَهَاؤُهُمْ أَخْطَأَ رَبَّهُ فَهُوَ يَطْلُبُهُ وَيَتْبَعُهُ فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَ اللهُ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَقَالَ لَهُ مَا قَالَ أَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا لَقِيَ قَوْمُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَرَجَعَ مُوسَى إِلَى قَوْمِهِ غَضْبَانَ أَسِفًا قَالَ لَهُمْ مَا سَمِعْتُمْ فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَأَخَذَ بِرَأْسِ أَخِيهِ يَجُرُّهُ إِلَيْهِ وَأَلْقَى الْأَلْوَاحَ مِنَ الْغَضَبِ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ عَذَرَ أَخَاهُ بِعُذْرِهِ لَهُ [182] فَانْصَرَفَ إِلَى السَّامِرِيِّ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ قَبَضْتُ قَبْضَةً مِنْ أَثَرِ الرَّسُولِ وَفَطِنْتُ إِلَيْهَا وَعُمِّيَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَذَفْتُهَا {وَكَذَلِكَ سَوَّلَتْ لِي نَفْسِي قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِي الْحَيَاةِ أَنْ تَقُولَ لَا مِسَاسَ وَإِنَّ لَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَنْ تُخْلَفَهُ وَانْظُرْ إِلَى إِلَهِكَ الَّذِي ظَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِفًا لَنُحَرِّقَنَّهُ ثُمَّ لَنَنْسِفَنَّهُ فِي الْيَمِّ نَسْفًا} [طه 96] وَلَوْ كَانَ إِلَهًا لَمْ نَخْلُصُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ فَاسْتَيْقَنَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالْفِتْنَةِ وَاغْتُبِطَ الَّذِينَ كَانَ رَأْيُهُمْ فِيهِ مِثْلَ رَأْيِ هَارُونَ فَقَالُوا لِجَمَاعَتِهِمْ يَا مُوسَى سَلْ لَنَا رَبَّكَ أَنْ يَفْتَحَ لَنَا بَابَ تَوْبَةٍ نَصْنَعُهَا فَيُكَفِّرُ عَنَّا مَا عَمِلْنَا

Some of them will pass like lightning, some like a lean horse, some will run, some will walk, some will crawl, and the hooks will snatch them, while the angels are on its two sides saying, 'O Allah, grant safety, grant safety,' and the hooks will snatch them." He said: "As for its people, those who are its people, they will neither die nor live. As for some people, they will be seized for sins and errors, they will burn and become charcoal, then they will be taken in groups and thrown into a river of Paradise, and they will grow as a seed grows in the silt of a flood." He said: The Prophet ﷺ said: "Have you seen the aṣ-ṣabghāʾ? Then permission will be given for them, and they will enter Paradise."

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah, Blessed and Exalted, will say to Ādam on the Day of Resurrection: “O Ādam, arise and send forth the portion of Hellfire from your descendants.” He will ask: “O Lord, what is the portion of Hellfire?” He will say: “From every thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine, and one will remain.” At that time the young will turn gray and every pregnant female will miscarry, and {you will see people drunk, though they are not drunk, but the punishment of Allah is severe} [al-Ḥajj 2]. This distressed his companions, so they said: “O Messenger of Allah, from every thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine, and one remains? Which of us will be that one?” He entered his house, then came out to them and said: “From Yaʾjūj and Maʾjūj a thousand, and from you one. Rejoice, for I hope that you will be a quarter of the people of Paradise.” They said takbīr and praised Allah. He said: “I hope that you will be a third of the people of Paradise.” They said takbīr and praised Allah. He said: “I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise.” They said takbīr and praised Allah. He said: “You among the nations are but like a white hair on a black ox, or like a black hair on a white ox.”

     كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي مَسِيرٍ فَتَفَاوَتَ بَيْنَ أَصْحَابِهِ فِي السَّيْرِ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَوْتَهُ بِهَاتَيْنِ الْآيَتَيْنِ {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّ زَلْزَلَةَ السَّاعَةِ شَيْءٌ عَظِيمٌ يَوْمَ تَرَوْنَهَا تَذْهَلُ كُلُّ مُرْضِعَةٍ عَمَّا أَرْضَعَتْ وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمْلٍ حَمْلَهَا وَتَرَى النَّاسَ سُكَارَى وَمَا هُمْ بِسُكَارَى وَلَكِنَّ عَذَابَ اللهِ شَدِيدٌ} [الحج 2] فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ أَصْحَابُهُ عَرَفُوا أَنَّهُ قَوْلٌ يَقُولُهُ فَقَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ أَيُّ يَوْمٍ ذَاكُمْ؟» قَالُوا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمٌ يُنَادِي اللهِ فِيهِ يَا آدَمُ ابْعَثْ بَعْثَ النَّارِ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ وَمَا بَعْثُ النَّارِ؟ فَيَقُولُ مِنْ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ تِسْعُ مِائَةٍ وَتِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ فِي النَّارِ وَوَاحِدٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَأَبْلَسَ الْقَوْمُ حَتَّى مَا أَوْضَحُوا بِضَاحِكَةٍ فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الَّذِي بِأَصْحَابِهِ قَالَ اعْمَلُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّكُمْ لَمَعَ خَلِيقَتَيْنِ مَا كَانَتَا مَعَ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا كَثَّرَتَاهُ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ وَمَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ وَبَنِي إِبْلِيسَ قَالَ فَسُرِّيَ عَنِ الْقَوْمِ بَعْضُ الَّذِي يَجِدُونَ فَقَالَ «اعْمَلُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ مَا أَنْتُمْ فِي النَّاسِ إِلَّا كَالشَّامَةِ فِي جَنْبِ الْبَعِيرِ أَوْ كَالرَّقْمَةِ فِي ذِرَاعِ الدَّابَّةِ»

     ✧ We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey, and his companions were moving at different paces. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his voice with these two verses: {O people, fear your Lord. Indeed, the earthquake of the Hour is a tremendous thing. On the day you see it, every nursing mother will forget what she nurses, and every pregnant female will miscarry, and you will see people drunk, though they are not drunk, but the punishment of Allah is severe} [al-Ḥajj 1-2]. When his companions heard that, they knew it was a statement he was making. He said: “Do you know which day that is?” They said: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said: “That is the day when Allah will call out: ‘O Ādam, send forth the portion of Hellfire.’ He will say: ‘O Lord, what is the portion of Hellfire?’ He will say: ‘From every thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine in the Fire and one in Paradise.’” The people became despondent, so much so that not one of them showed a smile. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw what had befallen his companions, he said: “Work hard and rejoice, for by the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muḥammad, you are with two creations that whenever they are with anything, they make it numerous: Yaʾjūj and Maʾjūj, and those who died from the son of Ādam and the son of Iblīs.” Then some of the distress they felt was relieved. He said: “Work hard and rejoice, for by the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muḥammad, you among people are but like a mole on the side of a camel, or like a mark on the foreleg of a beast.”

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Speak.” He said: My son was a laborer for this man, and he committed adultery with his wife. I was told that my son is subject to stoning, so I ransomed him with one hundred sheep and a slave girl. Then I asked the people of knowledge, and they informed me that my son is subject to one hundred lashes and exile for a year, and that the wife of this man is subject to stoning. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I will judge between you according to the Book of Allah. The slave girl and the sheep are to be returned, and your son is subject to one hundred lashes and exile for a year. Go, O Unays, to this man's wife and stone her.” So he went to her and she confessed, and he ordered her and she was stoned.

     يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الرَّجُلُ يَرَى امْرَأَتَهُ عَلَى الْفَاحِشَةِ فَإِنْ تَكَلَّمَ تَكَلَّمَ بِأَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ وَإِنْ سَكَتَ سَكَتَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ؟ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الْأَمْرُ الَّذِي سَأَلْتُكَ عَنْهُ ابْتُلِيتُ بِهِ؟ قَالَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَالَ {وَالَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ أَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ إِلَّا أَنْفُسُهُمْ فَشَهَادَةُ أَحَدِهِمْ أَرْبَعُ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللهِ} [النور 6] حَتَّى قَرَأَ الْآيَاتِ كُلَّهَا فَذَكَّرَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَذَابَ الدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْآخِرَةِ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ إِنَّهُ لِلْحَقُّ ثُمَّ دَعَا الْمَرْأَةَ فَذَكَّرَهَا اللهَ وَأَخْبَرَهَا أَنَّ عَذَابَ الدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْآخِرَةِ فَقَالَتْ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا كَانَ هَذَا فَقَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ تَشْهَدُ {أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللهِ إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ وَالْخَامِسَةُ أَنَّ لَعْنَةَ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ} ثُمَّ شَهِدَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللهِ إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ وَالْخَامِسَةُ أَنَّ غَضَبَ اللهِ عَلَيْهَا إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ ثُمَّ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا

     ✧ O Messenger of Allah, a man sees his wife committing indecency; if he speaks, he speaks of a grave matter, and if he remains silent, he remains silent about a grave matter? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent about it. Then he came to him later and said: O Messenger of Allah, the matter I asked you about has afflicted me. He said: Allah said: “And those who accuse their wives and have no witnesses except themselves, then the testimony of one of them is four testimonies by Allah” [al-Nūr 6], until he recited all the verses. The Prophet ﷺ reminded him and informed him that the punishment of this world is lighter than the punishment of the Hereafter. He said: By the One who sent you with the truth, it is the truth. Then he called the woman and reminded her of Allah and informed her that the punishment of this world is lighter than the punishment of the Hereafter. She said: By the One who sent you with the truth, this did not happen. He said to the man: You testify “four testimonies by Allah that he is indeed among the truthful, and the fifth that the curse of Allah be upon him if he is among the liars.” Then the woman testified four testimonies by Allah that he was indeed among the liars, and the fifth that the wrath of Allah be upon her if he was among the truthful. Then he separated them.

     سُبْحَانَ اللهِ نَعَمْ أَتَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ أَحَدُنَا يَرَى امْرَأَتَهُ عَلَى فَاحِشَةٍ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ؟ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي قَدِ ابْتُلِيتُ بِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ مِنْ سُورَةِ النُّورِ وَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الرَّجُلَ فَشَهِدَ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللهِ إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ وَالْخَامِسَةُ أَنَّ لَعْنَةَ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ ثُمَّ ثَنَّى بِالْمَرْأَةِ فَشَهِدَتْ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللهِ إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ وَالْخَامِسَةُ أَنَّ غَضَبَ اللهِ عَلَيْهَا إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ ثُمَّ فَرَّقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَهُمَا

     ✧ Glory be to Allah! Yes, a man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if one of us sees his wife committing indecency, what should he do? He remained silent and did not answer him. Then he came to him and said: I have been afflicted by it, O Messenger of Allah. Then Allah revealed these verses from Surat al-Nūr. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called the man, and he testified four testimonies by Allah that he was among the truthful, and the fifth that the curse of Allah be upon him if he was among the liars. Then he called the woman, and she testified four testimonies by Allah that he was among the liars, and the fifth that the wrath of Allah be upon her if he was among the truthful. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ separated them.

     ✧ From the hadith of Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, when the people of the slander said what they said, and Allah declared her innocent. Each of them narrated to me a portion of her hadith, and some were more retentive of her hadith than others and more precise in its narration. I have retained from each of them the hadith he narrated to me, and some of their hadith confirms others. They claimed that Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended a journey, he would draw lots among his wives, and whichever of them the lot fell upon, he would take her with him. Aisha said: He drew lots among us for a raid he undertook, and my lot came out, so I went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ after the hijab had been revealed. I was carried in my howdah and set down in it. We traveled until, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished that raid and returned, and we approached Madinah, he announced departure one night. I walked until I passed the army. When I finished my need, I came back to the camp and touched my chest, and I found that a necklace of onyx from Zafar had broken. I returned and searched for my necklace, and searching for it delayed me. The group who were in charge of my riding came and loaded my howdah onto my camel that I used to ride, thinking I was inside it. In those days, women were light, not heavy, and flesh had not covered them; they ate only small morsels of food. So the people did not find the howdah heavy when they lifted and loaded it. I was a young girl. They set the camel and departed. I found my necklace after the army had moved on, and I came to their campsite, but there was no one there to call or answer. I headed to my dwelling where I had been, and I thought the people would miss me and return. While I was sitting in my dwelling, sleep overcame me, and I slept until morning. Safwan b. al-Mu'attal had been behind the army, and he traveled by night and reached my dwelling in the morning. He saw the form of a sleeping person and came to me. He recognized me when he saw me, for he had seen me before the hijab was imposed on us. I woke up when he uttered “innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūn” upon recognizing me, and I covered my face with my cloak. By Allah, he did not speak a word to me, nor did I hear a word from him except his utterance of “innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūn” when he made his camel kneel and pressed its foreleg, and I mounted it. He set off leading the camel until we reached the army after they had encamped in the midday heat. Then some perished because of my affair, and the one who took the lead in it was Abdullah b. Ubayy b. Salul. I arrived in Madinah and fell ill for a month, while the people were spreading the words of the slanderers and I was unaware of any of it. What troubled me during my illness was that I did not recognize from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the kindness I used to see when I was ill; he would only enter upon me, greet me, and say: “How is that one?” That is what troubled me, but I was unaware of the evil. Then I went out after I recovered, and Umm Mistah went out with me toward al-Manasi', which is our open area for relieving ourselves. We would not go out except from night to night, before latrines were set up near our houses; our practice was like that of the early Arabs in relieving themselves. We used to find it harmful to set up latrines near our houses. So I went with Umm Mistah, who was the daughter of Abu Ruhm b. Abd al-Muttalib b. Abd Manaf, and her mother was the daughter of Sakhr b. Amir, the maternal aunt of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, and her son was Mistah b. Uthathah b. Abbad b. al-Muttalib. I and the daughter of Abu Ruhm headed toward my house after we finished our need. Umm Mistah tripped on her cloak and said: “May Mistah perish!” I said to her: “What a bad thing you have said! You insult a man who witnessed Badr?” She said: “O you, have you not heard what he said?” I said: “And what did he say?” She informed me of the words of the slanderers, and I increased in illness upon my illness. When I returned to my house and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me and said: “How is that one?” I said: “Do you permit me to go to my parents?” He said: “Yes.” At that time I wanted to verify the news from them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ permitted me, and I went to my parents. I said to my mother: “O you, what are the people talking about?” She said: “O my daughter, take it lightly upon yourself. By Allah, rarely has a beautiful woman, loved by a husband who has co-wives, been spared their multiplying talk about her.” I said: “Glory be to Allah! Have the people really talked about this and it reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?” She said: “Yes.” I wept that night until morning; my tears did not cease, and I did not taste sleep, until my parents thought that weeping would split my liver. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Ali b. Abi Talib and Usamah b. Zayd when the revelation was delayed, consulting them about separating from his wife. As for Usamah, he advised the Messenger of Allah ﷺ based on what he knew of the innocence of his wife and the affection he had for her, and he said: “O Messenger of Allah, she is your wife, and we know nothing but good.” As for Ali b. Abi Talib, he said: “O Messenger of Allah, Allah has not restricted women for you; there are many women besides her. If you ask the servant girl, she will tell you the truth,” meaning Barirah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Barirah and said: “Have you seen anything that troubles you about Aisha?” Barirah said: “By the One who sent you with the truth, I have not seen anything concerning her that I would find fault with, except that she is a young woman who sleeps over her family's dough, and a domestic animal comes and eats it.” Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up as a preacher, praised Allah and extolled Him as He deserves, then said: “To proceed: Who will excuse me from one whose harm has reached me concerning my family?” meaning Abdullah b. Ubayy b. Salul. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ also said while on the pulpit: “O assembly of Muslims, who will excuse me from one whose harm has reached me concerning my family? I mean Abdullah b. Ubayy b. Salul. By Allah, I know nothing but good about my family, and no one used to enter upon my family except with me.” Then Sa'd b. Mu'adh al-Ansari stood up and said: “I will excuse you from him, O Messenger of Allah. If he is from the Aws, we will strike his neck, and if he is from our brothers of the Khazraj, you command us and we will do your command.” Then Sa'd b. Ubadah, who was the chief of the Khazraj and was a righteous man, but tribal zeal overtook him, said: “O Sa'd b. Mu'adh, by the life of Allah, you will not kill him, nor are you able to kill him.” Then Usayd b. Hudayr, who was the cousin of Sa'd b. Mu'adh, stood up and said to Sa'd b. Ubadah: “You have lied! By the life of Allah, we will kill him, for you are a hypocrite arguing on behalf of the hypocrites.” The two tribes, Aws and Khazraj, became agitated until they were about to fight, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing on the pulpit. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept calming them until they fell silent. Then the Prophet ﷺ came to me while I was in my parents' house, and while he was sitting and I was weeping, a woman from the Ansar asked permission to enter upon me, and he continued the hadith.

He said: “Then give the gatherings their due.” They said: And what is their due, O Messenger of Allah? He said: “Lowering the gaze, good speech, returning the greeting, and guiding the lost.”

     ✧ We were conversing in the shade of a room belonging to the Messenger of God ﷺ, and we mentioned the Hour, and our voices rose. The Messenger of God ﷺ looked down upon us from his room and said, "What are you asking one another about?" or "What are you talking about?" We said, "Mention of the Hour." The Messenger of God ﷺ said, "The Hour will not occur, or will not come, until before it there are ten signs: the rising of the sun from its west, the emergence of the beast, the emergence of Gog and Magog, the Dajjal, Jesus son of Mary, the smoke, and three sinkings: a sinking in the east, a sinking in the west, and a sinking in the Arabian Peninsula. And the last of that is a fire that will emerge from the depths of Aden and drive people to the gathering place."

He said, "O uncle, say: There is no god but God, a word by which I will plead for you before God." Abu Jahl and 'Abd Allah b. Abi Umayyah said to him, "O Abu Talib, will you turn away from the religion of 'Abd al-Muttalib?" They kept speaking to him until the last thing he said to them was: "On the religion of 'Abd al-Muttalib." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I will surely seek forgiveness for you as long as I am not forbidden from doing so."

     ✧ Regarding His saying, exalted is He: {Alif Lam Mim. The Romans have been defeated} [Ar-Rum: 2]. He said: "They defeated and were defeated. The polytheists liked Persia to prevail over Rome, while the Muslims liked Rome to prevail over Persia because they were People of the Book. They mentioned this to Abu Bakr, and Abu Bakr mentioned it to the Messenger of God ﷺ. The Messenger of God ﷺ said, 'Indeed, they will prevail.'

     ✧ I was with the Prophet ﷺ and came near him in the morning while we were traveling. I said: “O Prophet of Allah, tell me of a deed that will admit me to Paradise and keep me far from the Fire.” He said: “You have asked about something great, yet it is easy for the one for whom Allah makes it easy: you establish prayer, give zakah, fast Ramadan, and perform Hajj to the House.” Then he said: “Shall I not direct you to the gates of good? Fasting is a shield, charity extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire, and a man’s prayer in the depths of the night.” Then he recited: {Their sides forsake their beds} [al-Sajdah 16] until {they do} [al-Sajdah 17]. Then he said: “Shall I not tell you of the head of the matter, its pillar, and the peak of its hump?” I said: “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.” He said: “The head of the matter is Islam, its pillar is prayer, and the peak of its hump is jihad.” Then he said: “Shall I not tell you of what holds all of that together?” I said: “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.” He took hold of his tongue and said: “Restrain this.” I said: “O Messenger of Allah, will we be held accountable for what we say?” He said: “May your mother be bereft of you, O Mu'adh! Is there anything that casts people into the Fire on their faces — or he said: on their nostrils — except the harvest of their tongues?”

So I invited for him whomever I met, and they began to enter, eat, and leave. The Prophet ﷺ put his hand in the food and supplicated over it, saying what Allah willed him to say. I did not leave anyone I met except I invited him, so they ate until they were full and left. A group of them remained and prolonged their conversation with him, so the Prophet ﷺ felt too shy to say anything to them, so he went out and left them in the house. Then Allah, exalted is He, sent down: {O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when you are permitted for a meal, without awaiting its readiness} [al-Ahzab: 53].

He entered and found two men in her house. When he saw them, he turned back without speaking to them. So they stood and left, and the verse of hijab was sent down: {O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when you are permitted} [al-Ahzab: 53].

I came and told the Prophet ﷺ that they had left. He came and entered, and I went to enter, but he let down a curtain between me and him. And Allah ﷻ revealed: {O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless permission is given to you for a meal, without awaiting its readiness} [al-Ahzab: 53] up to {Indeed, that is ever, in the sight of Allah, an enormity} [al-Ahzab: 53].

     كُنْتُ أَغَارُ عَلَى اللَّاتِي وَهَبْنَ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَقُولُ أَوَتَهَبُ الْمَرْأَةُ نَفْسَهَا؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {تُرْجِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُؤْوِي إِلَيْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ} [الأحزاب 51] قُلْتُ وَاللهِ مَا أَرَى رَبَّكَ إِلَّا يُسَارِعُ لَكَ فِي هَوَاكَ

     ✧ I used to feel jealous of those who gave themselves to the Prophet ﷺ and say: "Does a woman offer herself?" So Allah, exalted is He, sent down: {You may defer whom you will of them or receive to yourself whom you will} [al-Ahzab: 51]. I said: "By Allah, I see your Lord only hastens to fulfill your desire."

     We were sitting in the company of Sa'id b. 'Ubida when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us. Bashir b. S'ad said: Allah has commanded us to bless you. Messenger of Allah! But how should we bless you? He (the narrator) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept quiet (and we were so much perturbed over his silence) that we wished we had not asked him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: (For blessing me) say:" 0 Allah, bless Muhammad and the members of his household as Thou didst bless the mernbers of Ibrahim's household. Grant favours to Muhammad and the members of his household as Thou didst grant favours to the members of the household of Ibrahim in the world. Thou art indeed Praiseworthy and Glorious" ; and salutation as you know. (Using translation from Muslim 405)

     ✧ From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: 'Moses was a shy and modest man who never showed any part of his skin out of shyness. Some of the Children of Israel annoyed him and said: He only hides himself like this because of some defect in his skin, either leprosy, or a scrotal hernia, or some affliction. He went in to bathe and placed his clothes on a rock, and the rock ran away with his clothes. He went out chasing after it, and the Children of Israel saw him as the best of people in form and the most innocent of what they said. That is the saying of Him ﷻ: {O you who have believed, do not be like those who abused Moses} [al-Ahzab: 69].' [11361] Ishaq b. Ibrahim informed us; he said: al-Nadr informed us from Awf with this chain, the like of it.

O Banu so-and-so!' for the clans of Quraysh, until they gathered. A man who could not come out sent a messenger to look. Abu Lahab came, and Quraysh had gathered. He said: 'If I told you that there is cavalry in the valley wanting to raid you, would you believe me?' They said: 'Yes, we have never experienced anything from you but truthfulness.' He said: 'I am a warner to you before a severe punishment.' Abu Lahab said: 'May you perish for the rest of the day! Is this why you gathered us?' Then {Perish the hands of Abu Lahab} [al-Masad: 1] was revealed.

     ✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey. The people overlooked a valley and raised their voices in takbir and tahlil: 'Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaha illa Allah.' Asim raised his voice, and the Prophet ﷺ said: 'O people, be gentle with yourselves. The One you call upon is not deaf. He is all-hearing, near; He is with you.' He repeated it three times. Abu Musa said: He heard me saying behind him, 'There is no power and no strength except with Allah,' and he said: 'O Abdullah b. Qays, shall I not guide you to a word from the treasures of Paradise?' I said: 'Yes, may my father and mother be your ransom.' He said: 'There is no power and no strength except with Allah.'

He said: 'It goes until it ends up beneath the Throne, at its Lord, then it asks permission, and permission is granted to it. Soon it will ask permission and not be granted it, and it will seek intercession and make a request. When that is said, it will be told: Rise from your place.

Two brothers, two helpers; Allah does not accept the repentance of anyone who associates partners with Allah after his Islam.' He said: 'What is the right of the wife of one of us upon him?' He said: 'Feed her when you eat, clothe her when you clothe yourself, do not strike the face or vilify it, and do not shun her except in the house.' He pointed with his hand toward Syria and said: 'From here to here you will be gathered, riding and on foot and on your faces on the Day of Resurrection; on your mouths will be a bit. You will complete seventy nations, and you are the last of them and the most honored before Allah. The first part of one of you to speak will be his thigh.'

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Allah will gather the believers on the Day of Resurrection, and they will say: If only we could intercede with our Lord so that He might relieve us from this place of ours. They will go until they come to Adam ﷺ and say: O Adam, you are the father of mankind; Allah created you with His hand and breathed into you of His spirit, and made the angels prostrate to you, and taught you the names of all things. Intercede for us with your Lord so that He might relieve us from this place of ours. He will say: I am not the one for that, and he will mention his sin which he committed by eating from the tree, but go to Noah ﷺ, for he is the first messenger Allah sent. They will come to Noah and he will say: I am not the one for that, and he will mention his sin which he committed by asking his Lord for that of which he had no knowledge, but go to Abraham ﷺ, the close friend of the Most Merciful. They will come to Abraham and he will say: I am not the one for that, and he will mention his three lies: his saying, "I am sick," his saying, "Rather, the biggest of them did it," and his saying to Sarah when he came upon the tyrant, "Tell him that I am your brother, for I will tell him that you are my sister, for we are two siblings in the Book of Allah; there is no believer on earth, male or female, other than us." But go to Moses ﷺ, whom Allah spoke to and to whom He gave the Torah. [232] They will come to Moses ﷺ and he will say: I am not the one for that, and he will mention his sin which he committed by killing the man, but go to Jesus ﷺ, the servant of Allah and His messenger, from His word and His spirit. They will come to Jesus and he will say: I am not the one for that, but go to Muhammad ﷺ, a servant whose past and future sins Allah has forgiven.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'They will come to me, and I will ask permission from my Lord, and permission will be granted to me. When I see my Lord, I will fall prostrate, and He will leave me as long as Allah wills to leave me. Then He will say to me: Raise your head, O Muhammad; speak and you will be heard; intercede and you will be granted intercession; ask and you will be given. I will raise my head and praise my Lord with a praise He will teach me. Then I will intercede, and He will set a limit for me, and I will bring them out of the Fire and admit them to Paradise. Then I will return to my Lord a second time and fall prostrate, and He will say to me the like of that. I will raise my head, and He will set a limit for me, and I will bring them out of the Fire and admit them to Paradise. Then I will return to my Lord a third time and fall prostrate, and He will say to me the like of that. I will raise my head, and He will set a limit for me, and I will bring them out of the Fire. Then I will return a fourth time and say: O Lord, there is no one left in the Fire except those whom the Quran has detained. He will say: Yes, that is, those for whom eternal abode has become binding.' Qatadah said: That is the Praiseworthy Station.

     عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {قُلْ لَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَى} [الشورى 23] قَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ قُرْبَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَجِلْتَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَطْنٌ مِنْ بُطُونِ قُرَيْشٍ إِلَّا وَلَهُ فِيهِمْ قَرَابَةٌ فَقَالَ «إِلَّا أَنْ تَصِلُوا مَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ مِنَ الْقَرَابَةِ»

     ✧ Regarding this verse: {Say: I do not ask you for any reward for it, except love for kinship} [al-Shura 23]. Saʿīd b. Jubayr said: “The kinship of the family of Muhammad ﷺ.” Ibn ʿAbbās said: “You were hasty. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not from any clan of Quraysh except that he had kinship with them, so he said: ‘Except that you maintain the kinship between me and them.’”

     ✧ ʿĀʾishah said: I did not know until Zaynab entered upon me without permission, and she was angry. Then she said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: “It is enough for you when the daughter of Abū Bakr has turned her two forearms for you.” Then she turned to me, and I turned away from her until the Prophet ﷺ said: “Take your turn and seek your right.” So I turned to her until I saw that her saliva had dried in her mouth, and she did not answer me back. Then I saw the Prophet’s ﷺ face brighten.

     ✧ The polytheists said, when they grudged the Messenger of Allah ﷺ what Allah had given him over the people: “As for the people of this town—meaning al-Ṭāʾif—it is the grandfather of al-Mukhtār, Masʿūd b. ʿAmr. As for the people of Makkah, it is a tyrant from the tyrants of Quraysh, and he did not name him for us.”

     جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَتَزْعُمُ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ؟ قَالَ «إِي وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْهُمْ لَيُعْطَى قُوَّةَ مِائَةِ رَجُلٍ فِي الْأَكْلِ وَالشَّرْبِ وَالْجِمَاعِ وَالشَّهْوَةِ» فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَإِنَّ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ تَكُونُ لَهُ الْحَاجَةُ وَلَيْسَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَذًى؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ ﷺ «حَاجَةُ أَحَدِهِمْ رَشْحٌ يَفِيضُ مِنْ جِلْدِهِ فَإِذَا بَطْنُهُ قَدْ ضَمُرَ»

     ✧ A man from the Jews came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: “Do you claim that the people of Paradise eat and drink?” He said: “Yes, by the One in whose hand is my soul. Indeed, one man among them will be given the strength of a hundred men in eating, drinking, intercourse, and desire.” The man said: “But the one who eats and drinks has a need, and there is no harm in Paradise?” The Prophet ﷺ said to him: “The need of one of them is a perspiration that flows from his skin, and then his stomach becomes empty.”

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Indeed, I saw myself in the Ḥijr while Quraysh was asking me about my night journey. They asked me about things of the Sacred House which I had not retained, so I was distressed with a distress like never before. Then Allah raised it for me so I could see it. They did not ask me about anything except that I brought it to them. And I saw myself in a group of prophets, and there was Mūsā ﷺ standing in prayer. He was a lean man with curly hair, as if he were from the men of Shanūʾah. And there was ʿĪsā standing in prayer, and the closest person in resemblance to him was ʿUrwah b. Masʿūd al-Thaqafī. And there was Ibrāhīm standing in prayer, and the closest of people in resemblance to him was your companion—meaning himself ﷺ. Then the prayer time came, and I led them. When I finished the prayer, someone said to me: ‘O Muhammad, this is Mālik, the keeper of the Fire, so greet him.’ He turned to me and began with the greeting.”

     ✧ ʿAbdullāh said: When Quraysh stubbornly resisted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he supplicated against them with years like the years of Yūsuf. Then famine and hardship struck them until they ate bones. A man would look at the sky and see between him and it something like smoke from the hardship. Then Allah, exalted is He, sent down: {The day when the sky will bring a visible smoke, covering the people; this is a painful punishment} [al-Dukhān 11]. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was approached and it was said: “O Messenger of Allah, ask Allah for rain for them, for they are perishing.” So he asked Allah for rain, and they were given rain. Then Allah, exalted is He, sent down: {Indeed, We will remove the punishment a little; indeed, you will return} [al-Dukhān 15]. Then they returned to the state they were in when prosperity came to them. So Allah, exalted is He, sent down: {The day We seize with the greatest seizure; indeed, We will take retribution} [al-Dukhān 16]. He said: “The day of Badr.”

And the descent of ʿĪsā b. Maryam, the opening of Yaʾjūj and Maʾjūj, and a fire that comes out from the depths of Aden, driving the people to the gathering place.”

     ✧ Indeed, when the Quraysh became stubborn against the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said, "O Allah, assist me with seven like the aid of Prophet Yusuf." So, they were afflicted with a year of famine during which everything was rationed, and they had to eat the hides and carrion. Another narration says they had to eat the hides and bones. Then, the famine became so severe that it seemed like smoke rising from the ground. Abu Sufyan came and said, "Indeed, your people have been destroyed, so pray to Allah for them." He responded, "If they repent, we will count their number." This is in reference to the verse, {The Day the heaven will bring forth a visible smoke, covering the people, this is a painful torment} [Ad-Dukhan 11]. Abdullah asked, "Will the punishment of the Hereafter be revealed?" Then, Abdullah said, "Indeed, the smoke has passed."
