    ✧ That his father had sent him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on an errand. He said: I found him sitting with his companions in the mosque, and I was not able to speak to him.

Then he prayed the obligatory prayer and stood praying voluntary rakʿahs until those who remained in the mosque left. Then he went to his home, and I followed him.

I said to myself: I will certainly observe the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ tonight. He slept until I heard his snoring, then woke up and cast his eyes to the sky and recited these verses from Surat Al ʿImran: “Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth…” the five verses, until he reached “…indeed, You do not break Your promise.” Then he said: “O Allah, place in my hearing light, and in my sight light, and above me light, and below me light, and on my right light, and on my left light, and grant me light with You.” Beside him was a small basin of brass with a cover on which there was a siwak. He used the siwak, then performed ablution, then prayed two rakʿahs. Then he went back and slept again until I heard his snoring, then woke up and recited the verses and made the supplication, then used the siwak, then performed ablution, then prayed two rakʿahs.

Allah forbade us to raise our voices above your voice, and I am a man with a loud voice. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Would you not be pleased to live praiseworthy, be killed as a martyr, and enter Paradise praiseworthy?” He said: Of course, O Messenger of Allah. So he lived praiseworthy, and was killed as a martyr on the day of Musaylimah.

    حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةٌ قَمْرَاءُ إِضْحِيَانٌ، أَقْبَلَتِ امْرَأَتَانِ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ، فَطَافَتَا بِالْبَيْتِ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَتَا إِسَافًا وَنَائِلَةَ، وَهُمَا وَثَنَانِ كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَهُمَا، فَأَخْرَجْتُ رَأْسِي مِنْ تَحْتِ السُّتُورِ، فَقُلْتُ: احْمِلَا أَحَدَهُمَا عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ، فَغَضِبَتَا، ثُمَّ قَالَتَا: أَمَ وَاللهِ لَوْ كَانَتْ رِجَالُنَا حُضُورًا مَا تَكَلَّمْتَ بِهَذَا. فَخَرَجْتُ أَقْفُو آثَارَهُمَا، حَتَّى لَقِيَتَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَنْتُمَا ؟ وَمِمَّنْ أَنْتُمَا ؟ وَمِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتُمَا ؟ وَمَا جَاءَ بِكُمَا ؟ فَأَخْبَرَتَاهُ الْخَبَرَ. فَقَالَ: " أَيْنَ تَرَكْتُمَا الصَّابِئَ ؟ " فَقَالَتَا: تَرَكْنَاهُ بَيْنَ السُّتُورِ وَالْبِنَاءِ. فَقَالَ لَهُمَا: " هَلْ قَالَ لَكُمَا شَيْئًا ؟ " قَالَتَا: نَعَمْ، كَلِمَةً تَمْلَأُ الْفَمَ. فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، ثُمَّ انْسَلَّتَا، وَأَقْبَلْتُ حَتَّى جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ. فَقَالَ: " مَنْ أَنْتَ ؟ وَمِمَّنْ أَنْتَ ؟ وَمِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ ؟ وَمِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتَ ؟ وَمَا جَاءَ بِكَ ؟ " فَأَنْشَأْتُ أُعْلِمُهُ الْخَبَرَ، فَقَالَ: " مِنْ أَيْنَ كُنْتَ تَأْكُلُ وَتَشْرَبُ ؟ " فَقُلْتُ: مِنْ مَاءِ زَمْزَمَ، فَقَالَ: " أَمَا إِنَّهُ طَعَامُ طُعْمٍ " وَمَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ائْذَنْ لِي أَنْ أُعَشِّيَهِ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ ". ثُمَّ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَمْشِي، وَأَخَذَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِيَدِي حَتَّى وَقَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِبَابِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَيْتَهُ. ثُمَّ أَتَى بِزَبِيبٍ مِنْ زَبِيبِ الطَّائِفِ، فَجَعَلَ يُلْقِيهِ لَنَا قَبْضًا قَبْضًا، وَنَحْنُ نَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ، حَتَّى تَمَلَّأْنَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ " يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ " فَقُلْتُ: لَبَّيْكَ. فَقَالَ: " إِنَّهُ قَدْ رُفِعَتْ لِي أَرْضٌ، وَهِيَ ذَاتُ نَخْلٍ، لَا أَحْسَبُهَا إِلَّا تِهَامَةَ، فَاخْرُجْ إِلَى قَوْمِكَ، فَادْعُهُمْ إِلَى مَا دَخَلْتَ فِيهِ ". قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ أُمِّي وَأَخِي، فَأَعْلَمْتُهُمَا الْخَبَرَ، فَقَالَا: مَا بِنَا رَغْبَةٌ عَنِ الدِّينِ الَّذِي دَخَلْتَ فِيهِ، فَأَسْلَمْنَا. ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ، فَأَعْلَمْتُ قَوْمِي، فَقَالُوا: إِنَّا قَدْ صَدَّقْنَاكَ، وَلَكِنَّا نَلْقَى مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَقِينَاهُ. فَقَالَتْ لَهُ غِفَارٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ قَدْ أَعْلَمَنَا مَا أَعْلَمْتَهُ، وَقَدْ أَسْلَمْنَا وَشَهِدْنَا أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ، ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَتْ أَسْلَمُ خُزَاعَةَ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّا قَدْ رَغِبْنَا وَدَخَلْنَا فِيمَا دَخَلَ إِخْوَانُنَا وَحُلَفَاؤُنَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " [ أَسْلَمُ ] سَالَمَهَا اللهُ، وَغِفَارٌ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهَا ". ثُمَّ أَخَذَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِيَدِي، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ. فَقُلْتُ: لَبَّيْكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ. فَقَالَ: قَدْ كُنْتَ تَأَلَّهُ فِي جَاهِلِيَّتِكَ ؟ قُلْتُ ؟ نَعَمْ، لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَقُومُ عِنْدَ الشَّمْسِ، فَلَا أَزَالُ أُصَلِّي حَتَّى يُؤْذِيَنِي حَرُّهَا، فَأَخِرُّ كَأَنِّي خِفَاءٌ. فَقَالَ لِي: فَأَيْنَ كُنْتَ تَوَجَّهُ ؟ قُلْتُ: لَا أَدْرِي إِلَّا حَيْثُ وَجَّهَنِي اللهُ، حَتَّى أَدْخَلَ اللهُ عَلَيَّ الْإِسْلَامَ.

    ✧ Until one moonlit, clear night, two women from Khuza'ah came and circumambulated the House, then mentioned Isaf and Na'ilah, two idols they used to worship. I stuck my head out from behind the curtains and said: 'Mount one of them on the other.' They became angry and said: 'By Allah, if our men were present, you would not have said this.' I went out following their tracks until they met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: 'Who are you two? From whom are you? From where have you come? What brought you?' They told him the news. He said: 'Where did you leave the Sabian?' They said: 'We left him between the curtains and the building.' He said to them: 'Did he say anything to you?' They said: 'Yes, a word that fills the mouth.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled, then they slipped away. I came forward until I reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then I greeted him at that point. He said: 'Who are you? From whom are you? From where are you? From where have you come? What brought you?' I began to inform him of the news. He said: 'From where were you eating and drinking?' I said: 'From the water of Zamzam.' He said: 'Indeed, it is a food that satisfies.' With him was Abu Bakr, who said: 'O Messenger of Allah, permit me to feed him supper.' He said: 'Yes.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out walking, and Abu Bakr took my hand until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stopped at the door of Abu Bakr's house. Then Abu Bakr entered his house and brought some raisins from the raisins of Ta'if, and began throwing them to us handful by handful, and we ate from them until we were full. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: 'O Abu Dharr.' I said: 'At your service.' He said: 'A land has been shown to me, a land of palm trees, which I think is Tihamah. Go out to your people and call them to what you have entered.' He said: So I went out until I came to my mother and brother and informed them of the news. They said: 'We have no desire to turn away from the religion you have entered.' So they became Muslims. Then we went out until we came to Madinah, and I informed my people. They said: 'We have believed you, but we will meet Muhammad ﷺ.' When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us, we met him. Ghifar said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, Abu Dharr has informed us of what you taught him, and we have become Muslims and testified that you are the Messenger of Allah.' Then Aslam of Khuza'ah came forward and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we have desired and entered what our brothers and allies entered.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Aslam, may Allah grant them peace, and Ghifar, may Allah forgive them.' Then Abu Bakr took my hand and said: 'O Abu Dharr.' I said: 'At your service, O Abu Bakr.' He said: 'Were you devoted to worship in your Jahiliyyah?' I said: 'Yes, I saw myself standing before the sun, praying continuously until its heat hurt me, then I would fall as if I were a worn-out garment.' He said to me: 'Where did you face?' I said: 'I do not know except where Allah directed me, until Allah brought Islam to me.'

    كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا، فَأَصَابَ النَّاسَ مَخْمَصَةٌ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَ النَّاسُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي نَحْرِ بَعْضِ ظَهْرِهِمْ، فَهَمَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: أَرَأَيْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِذَا نَحَرْنَا ظَهْرَنَا، ثُمَّ لَقِينَا عَدُوَّنَا غَدًا وَنَحْنُ جِيَاعٌ رِجَالًا ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: فَمَا تَرَى يَا عُمَرُ ؟ " قَالَ: تَدْعُو النَّاسَ بِبَقَايَا أَزْوَادِهِمْ، ثُمَّ تَدْعُو لَنَا فِيهَا بِالْبَرَكَةِ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - سَيُبَلِّغُنَا بِدَعْوَتِكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ قَالَ: فَكَأَنَّمَا كَانَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غِطَاءٌ فَكُشِفَ. فَدَعَا بِثَوْبٍ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَبُسِطَ، ثُمَّ دَعَا النَّاسَ بِبَقَايَا أَزْوَادِهِمْ، فَجَاءُوا بِمَا كَانَ عِنْدَهُمْ، فَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَفْنَةِ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ، أَوِ الْجَفْنَةِ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ جَاءَ بِمِثْلِ الْبَيْضَةِ. فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَوُضِعَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الثَّوْبِ، ثُمَّ دَعَا فِيهِ بِالْبَرَكَةِ، وَتَكَلَّمَ بِمَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ نَادَى فِي الْجَيْشِ فَجَاءُوا، ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا وَطَعِمُوا وَمَلَئُوا أَوْعِيَتَهُمْ وَمَزَاوِدَهُمْ، ثُمَّ دَعَا بِرَكْوَةٍ فَوُضِعَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَصَبَّهُ فِيهَا، ثُمَّ مَجَّ فِيهَا، وَتَكَلَّمَ بِمَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ خِنْصَرَهُ فِيهَا، فَأُقْسِمُ بِاللهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَصَابِعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تَفَجَّرُ يَنَابِيعَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ فَشَرِبُوا وَسَقَوْا وَمَلَأُوا قِرَبَهُمْ وَإِدَاوَاتَهُمْ. ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ. قَالَ: " أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، لَا يَلْقَى اللهَ بِهِمَا أَحَدٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ فِيهِ

    ✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a military expedition he undertook, and the people were afflicted by severe hunger. The people asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for permission to slaughter some of their riding camels, and the Messenger of Allah was about to grant them permission in that matter. Then Umar b. al-Khattab said: Consider, O Messenger of Allah—if we slaughter our riding camels, then meet our enemy tomorrow while we are hungry and on foot? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What do you think, O Umar? He said: Summon the people with the remnants of their provisions, then supplicate for us for blessing in it, for Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will surely suffice us through your supplication, if Allah wills. He said: It was as though a covering had been over the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and was removed. He called for a cloth and ordered that it be spread out. Then he summoned the people with the remnants of their provisions, and they came with what they had. Among the people were those who brought a handful of food or a bowl, and among them were those who brought something like an egg. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that it be placed on that cloth. Then he supplicated for blessing in it and spoke as much as Allah willed him to speak. Then he called out in the army and they came. Then he ordered them and they ate and were satisfied, and they filled their vessels and their provision bags. Then he called for a small water skin and it was placed before him. Then he called for water and poured it into it. Then he ejected some saliva into it and spoke as much as Allah willed him to speak. Then he inserted his little finger into it, and I swear by Allah, I saw the fingers of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gushing forth like springs of water. Then he ordered the people, and they drank and gave water to others and filled their water skins and their water vessels. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed until his molars showed. He said: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger. No one meets Allah with these two on the Day of Resurrection except that he enters Paradise, whatever he was upon.

To proceed: May Allah magnify your reward, inspire you with patience, and grant us and you gratitude.

I dislike shackles in sleep, and I like fetters because they indicate steadfastness in religion. The dream of a believer is one of forty-six parts of prophethood. In the last part of time, the dream of a believer will hardly be false. The most truthful of you in speech will be the most truthful in dreams.

I hope Allah will place me in one of the last scoops.” The bedouin said, “O Messenger of Allah, does it have fruit?” He said, “Yes, and in it is a tree called Ṭūbā. It corresponds to al-Firdaws.” He said, “Which tree of our land does it resemble?” He said, “It does not resemble any tree of your land. But have you been to Syria?” He said, “No, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “It resembles a tree in Syria called the walnut. It grows on one trunk, then its top spreads out.” He said, “How large is its base?” He said, “If a young camel of your family’s camels set out to circle it, it would not complete the circuit before its collarbone breaks from old age.” He said, “Does it have grapes?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “How large is a cluster of them?” He said, “A month’s journey for the pied crow, not turning aside and not tiring.” He said, “How large is a single grape from it?” He said, “Did your father ever slaughter a large animal from his sheep?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “He skinned its hide and gave it to your mother, saying, ‘Tan this, then cut from it buckets for us to water our livestock with’?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “Will that satisfy me and my household?” The Prophet ﷺ said, “And the majority of your clan.”

     أَبْشِرْ، فَقَدْ جَاءَكَ اللهُ بِقَضَائِكَ. فَحَمِدْتُ اللهَ. فَقَالَ: أَلَمْ تَمُرَّ عَلَى الرَّكَائِبِ الْمُنَاخَاتِ الْأَرْبَعِ ؟ قُلْتُ: بَلَى. فَقَالَ: إِنَّ لَكَ رِقَابَهُنَّ وَمَا عَلَيْهِنَّ، فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِنَّ كِسْوَةً، وَطَعَامًا أَهْدَاهُ إِلَيَّ عَظِيمُ فَدَكَ، فَاقْبِضْهُنَّ، ثُمَّ اقْضِ دَيْنَكَ. فَفَعَلْتُ، فَحَطَطْتُ عَنْهُنَّ أَحْمَالَهُنَّ، ثُمَّ عَلَفْتُهُنَّ، ثُمَّ قُمْتُ إِلَى تَأْذِينِ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ. حَتَّى إِذَا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، خَرَجْتُ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ، فَجَعَلْتُ إِصْبَعَيَّ فِي أُذُنَيَّ، فَنَادَيْتُ: مَنْ كَانَ يَطْلُبُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِدَيْنٍ فَلْيَحْضُرْ. فَمَا زِلْتُ أَبِيعُ وَأَقْضِي، حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ دَيْنٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ، حَتَّى فَضَلَ فِي يَدِي أُوقِيَّتَانِ، أَوْ أُوقِيَّةٌ وَنِصْفٌ. ثُمَّ انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ عَامَّةُ النَّهَارِ، وَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَاعِدٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَحْدَهُ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لِي: مَا فَعَلَ مَا قِبَلَكَ ؟ فَقُلْتُ: قَدْ قَضَى اللهُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ، فَلَمْ يَبْقَ شَيْءٌ، فَقَالَ: أَفَضَلَ شَيْءٌ ؟ فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ: انْظُرْ أَنْ تُرِيحَنِي مِنْهَا، فَإِنِّي لَسْتُ بِدَاخِلٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِي حَتَّى تُرِيحَنِي مِنْهُ. فَلَمْ يَأْتِنَا أَحَدٌ حَتَّى أَمْسَيْنَا، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْعَتَمَةَ دَعَانِي فَقَالَ: مَا فَعَلَ مَا قِبَلَكَ ؟ قُلْتُ: هُوَ مَعِي لَمْ يَأْتِنَا أَحَدٌ، فَبَاتَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ، وَصَلَّى الْيَوْمَ الثَّانِي حَتَّى كَانَ فِي آخِرِ النَّهَارِ جَاءَهُ رَاكِبَانِ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ بِهِمَا فَأَطْعَمْتُهُمَا، وَكَسَوْتُهُمَا، حَتَّى إِذَا صَلَّى الْعَتَمَةَ دَعَانِي فَقَالَ: مَا فَعَلَ الَّذِي قِبَلَكَ ؟ فَقُلْتُ: قَدْ أَرَاحَكَ اللهُ مِنْهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَكَبَّرَ، وَحَمِدَ اللهَ شَفَقًا مِنْ أَنْ يُدْرِكَهُ الْمَوْتُ وَعِنْدَهُ ذَلِكَ. ثُمَّ اتَّبَعْتُهُ حَتَّى جَاءَ أَزْوَاجَهُ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ امْرَأَةٍ، حَتَّى أَتَى مَبِيتَهُ، فَهُوَ الَّذِي سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْهُ، ﷺ. لَا يُرْوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ بِلَالٍ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ: مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ.

     ✧ Rejoice, for Allah has brought you your settlement. I praised Allah. He said, "Did you not pass by the four kneeling camels?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Their necks and what is on them are yours. On them are clothing and food, a gift to me from the chief of Fadak. Take them and pay your debt." So I did. I unloaded their burdens and fed them. Then I stood for the call to the dawn prayer. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had prayed, I went out to al-Baqi', put my fingers in my ears, and called out: "Whoever has a claim of debt against the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, let him come." I kept selling and paying until no debt remained on the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on earth, until there was left in my hand two uqiyyahs, or one and a half uqiyyahs. Then I went to the mosque, and most of the day had passed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting alone in the mosque. I greeted him, and he said to me, "What happened with what you had?" I said, "Allah has settled everything that was against His Messenger; nothing remains." He said, "Is there anything left over?" I said, "Yes." He said, "See that you relieve me of it, for I will not enter upon any of my wives until you relieve me of it." No one came to us until evening. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the night prayer, he called me and said, "What happened with what you had?" I said, "It is with me; no one has come to us." He spent the night in the mosque until morning. He prayed the second day until near the end of the day, when two riders came. I took them, fed them, and clothed them. When he prayed the night prayer, he called me and said, "What happened with what you had?" I said, "Allah has relieved you of it, O Messenger of Allah." He said takbir and praised Allah out of fear that death might overtake him while he still owed it. Then I followed him until he came to his wives. He greeted each wife individually until he reached his sleeping place. That is what you asked me about, ﷺ. This hadith is not reported from Bilal except through this chain, and it is uniquely transmitted by Mu'awiyah b. Sallam.

He said: What will their drink be with it? He said: "From a spring called Salsabil." He said: You have spoken the truth. He said: I have come to ask you about something that no one on earth knows except a prophet, or a man, or two men. He said: "Will it benefit you if I tell you?" He said: I hear with my two ears.

When they combine, and the man's semen prevails over the woman's, they will have a male by Allah's permission. If the woman's semen prevails over the man's, they will have a female by Allah's permission." The Jew said: You have spoken the truth, and you are a prophet. Then he left and went away.
