   ✧ Al-ʿAbbās sent me to the Messenger of God ﷺ, and I came to him in the evening while he was in the house of my maternal aunt Maymūnah. The Messenger of God ﷺ got up to pray during the night.

O God, grant me true faith and certainty after which there is no disbelief, and mercy by which I attain the honor of Your generosity in this world and the Hereafter. O God, I ask You for success at the meeting, the hospitality of the martyrs, the life of the happy, the companionship of the prophets, and victory over enemies. O God, I bring my need to You, even if my judgment falls short and my deeds are weak, for I am in need of Your mercy. I ask You, O Decider of affairs, O Healer of hearts, as You set boundaries between the seas, to protect me from the torment of the blazing fire, from the call of destruction, and from the trial of the graves. O God, whatever good my judgment falls short of, my deeds are too weak for, and my intention or hope does not reach, which You have promised to any of Your servants or which You will give to any of Your creation, I desire it from You and ask You, O Lord of the worlds. O God, make us rightly guided and guiding, not astray nor leading astray, at war with Your enemies and at peace with Your friends. We love people through Your love and we are hostile, through Your enmity, to those who oppose You. O God, this is the supplication and upon You is the response. O God, this is the effort and upon You is the reliance. There is no might nor power except with God. O God, Possessor of the firm rope and the right command, I ask You for security on the Day of Warning and Paradise on the Day of Eternity with the drawn-near witnesses, those who bow and prostrate, and those who fulfill covenants. Indeed, You are Merciful and Loving, and You do what You will. Glory be to the One who has girded Himself with might and spoken of it. Glory be to the One to whom alone glorification is due. Glory be to the Possessor of might and splendor. Glory be to the Possessor of power and generosity. Glory be to the One who has counted all things by His knowledge. O God, place for me light in my heart, light in my grave, light in my hearing, light in my sight, light in my hair, light in my skin, light in my flesh, light in my blood, light in my bones, light before me, light behind me, light on my right, light on my left, light above me, light below me. O God, increase me in light, grant me light, and place for me light.'

God, majestic is His mention, says: “Indeed, We will cast upon you a weighty word” [Q 73:5]. The Prophet of God ﷺ was patting ʿUthmān’s shoulder and saying, ‘Write, ʿUthmān.’ God would not have placed anyone in that station with His Prophet except a noble man. So whoever reviles ʿUthmān, upon him is the curse of God.”

Ibn Abbas said: 'Nothing fills the belly of the son of Adam except dust, then God turns in mercy to whoever repents.' Umar said to Ibn Abbas: 'From whom did you hear this?' He said: 'From Ubayy b.

Ibn Abbas feared that Ubayy might have forgotten. His mother said to him: 'Ubayy is unlikely to have forgotten.' He went early to Umar, who had a whip with him. They went to Ubayy, who came out to them after performing ablution. He said: 'I had a discharge of madhy, so I washed my penis'—or 'my private part'—Mis'ar was unsure.

     ✧ Anas b. Malik mentioned seventy of the Ansar. He said: When night fell upon them, they would go to a teacher in Madinah and spend the night with him studying the Quran. Then in the morning, whoever had strength would gather firewood and draw fresh water, and whoever had means would get a sheep and prepare it; so it would be hanging in the rooms of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ by morning. When Khubayb was killed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent them. He said: Among them was my maternal uncle Haram b. Milhan. They came upon a clan of Banu Sulaym. He said: Haram said to their leader, "Shall I inform these people that we are not after them, so that they let us pass?" He said, "Yes." So he went to them and told them that. A man from among them met him with a spear and pierced him through. When Haram felt the spear in his belly, he said, "Allahu akbar! I have won, by the Lord of the Kaaba!" He said: They closed in on them, and none of them remained to report. He said: "I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ grieve over any expedition as he grieved over them." Anas said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, every time he prayed the dawn prayer, raise his hands supplicating against them. Later, Abu Talhah came to me and said: "Do you know what happened to the killer of Haram?" I said, "What about him? May Allah do such-and-such to him." Abu Talhah said, "Do not say that, for he has accepted Islam."

     ✧ The Prophet of Allah ﷺ led them in the ʿAsr prayer, then stood among them as a speaker and said in his sermon: 'Indeed, this world is green and sweet, and Allah is making you successors in it, so He is watching how you act. Beware of the world and beware of women. Indeed, every treacherous one will have a banner on the Day of Resurrection, according to the measure of his treachery, placed near his anus. Indeed, the greatest treachery is the treachery of a leader of the common people. Indeed, anger is a burning coal placed on the heart of the son of Adam. Do you not see when one becomes angry, how his eyes turn red and his jugular veins swell? So whoever experiences any of that, if he is standing let him sit down, and if he is sitting let him cling to the ground. Indeed, people in anger are of different ranks: a man quick to anger and quick to calm down—that is neither against him nor for him; a man slow to anger and slow to calm down—that is neither against him nor for him; a man slow to anger and quick to calm down—that is for him; and a man quick to anger and slow to calm down—that is against him. Indeed, the son of Adam was created in stages: a servant may be created a believer, live as a believer, and die as a believer; a servant may be created a disbeliever, live as a disbeliever, and die as a disbeliever; a servant may be created a believer, live as a believer, and die as a disbeliever; and a servant may be created a disbeliever, live as a disbeliever, and die as a believer.' He also mentioned: 'Indeed, people in seeking are of different ranks: a man who, when he seeks, is harsh, and when he is sought from, fulfills—that equals that; a man who, when he seeks, withholds, and when he is sought from, is taken from—that equals that; a man who, when he seeks, withholds and takes, and when he is sought from, fulfills—that is better for him; and a man who, when he seeks, withholds, and when he is sought from, defrauds—that is worse for him. Indeed, might one of you see an evil and not change it? Indeed, sixty-nine nations have passed before you, and you are completing seventy. Indeed, what has passed of the world compared to what remains is like what has passed of this day of yours compared to what remains.' That was when the sun had turned yellow and was about to set.

     ✧ A delegation of the Christians of Najrān came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: sixty riders, among them twenty-four of their nobles. Of those twenty-four, three were the ones to whom their affairs reverted: al-ʿĀqib, the trustee of the people and man of judgment, holder of their counsel, without whose opinion and command they acted not—his name was ʿAbd al-Masīḥ; al-Sayyid, their scholar, keeper of their baggage and gathering place; and Abū Ḥārithah b. ʿAlqamah, brother of Bakr b. Wāʾil, their bishop, learned man, imam, and keeper of their places of worship. Abū Ḥārithah had been honored among them until his knowledge of their religion was esteemed. The kings of Byzantium, being Christians, had honored him, accepted him, built churches for him, and lavished honors upon him because of what reached them of his striving in their religion. When they set out from Najrān toward the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abū Ḥārithah sat on his mule, heading toward the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, with a brother of his called Kurz b. ʿAlqamah riding at his side. When Abū Ḥārithah’s mule stumbled, Kurz said: “May the far one perish,” meaning the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: “Rather you have perished.” He said: “And why, brother?” He said: “By Allah, he is the Prophet we have been awaiting.” Kurz said to him: “What prevents you, since you know this?” He said: “What these people have done for us: they honored us, put us in command, and showed us generosity, yet they refused anything but opposition to him. If I did otherwise, they would strip from us everything you see.” His brother Kurz b. ʿAlqamah concealed this about him.

     أَتَى رَجُلٌ إِلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي النَّجْوَى ؟ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ اللهَ يُدْنِي الْعَبْدَ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، فَيَضَعُ عَلَيْهِ كَنَفَهُ وَسِتْرَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَيُقَرِّرُهُ بِذُنُوبِهِ، فَيَقُولُ: أَتَعْرِفُ ذَنْبَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ؟ فَيَقُولُ: نَعَمْ، أَيْ رَبِّ، وَيَقُولُ: أَتَعْرِفُ ذَنْبَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ؟ فَيَقُولُ: نَعَمْ، أَيْ رَبِّ، فَإِذَا قَرَّرَهُ بِذُنُوبِهِ، وَرَأَى أَنَّهُ قَدْ هَلَكَ قَالَ: إِنِّي قَدْ سَتَرْتُهَا عَلَيْكَ الْيَوْمَ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ يُعْطَى كِتَابَ حَسَنَاتِهِ قَالَ: وَأَمَّا الْمُنَافِقُ وَالْكَافِرُ، فَإِنَّهُ يُنَادَى عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْأَشْهَادِ: هَؤُلاءِ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا عَلَى رَبِّهِمْ الْآيَةَ

     ✧ A man came to Ibn ʿUmar and said: How did you hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ speak about intimate conversation? Ibn ʿUmar said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will bring a servant near to Him and place over him His protection and concealment from people, and will make him acknowledge his sins. He will say: Do you acknowledge such-and-such sin? He will say: Yes, my Lord. And He will say: Do you acknowledge such-and-such sin? He will say: Yes, my Lord. When He has made him acknowledge his sins and he sees that he is ruined, He will say: I concealed them for you in the world, and I forgive them for you today. Then he will be given the book of his good deeds. As for the hypocrite and the disbeliever, it will be called out before the witnesses: These are the ones who lied against their Lord.

     ✧ I was in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a circle that included Abu Saʿid al-Khudri and ʿAbd Allah b. ʿAmr. Al-Husayn b. ʿAli passed by and greeted; the people returned his greeting, but ʿAbd Allah b. ʿAmr remained silent. Then Ibn ʿAmr raised his voice after the people fell silent and said: And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Then he turned to the people and said: Shall I not tell you who is the most beloved of the people of the earth to the people of heaven? They said: Yes. He said: It is this one who has just departed. By Allah, I have not spoken a word to him, nor has he spoken a word to me since the nights of Siffin. By Allah, for him to be pleased with me is more beloved to me than to have the like of Uhud. Abu Saʿid al-Khudri said to him: Will you not go to him in the morning? He said: Yes. So they agreed to go to him in the morning, and I went with them. Abu Saʿid asked permission and was admitted, so we entered. Then he asked permission for Ibn ʿAmr, and he kept at it until al-Husayn granted him permission, and he entered. When Abu Saʿid saw him, he moved over for him, as he was sitting next to al-Husayn, and al-Husayn pulled him toward himself. Ibn ʿAmr stood and did not sit. When he saw that, he let go of Abu Saʿid, moved over for him, and he sat between them. Abu Saʿid related the story, and he said: Is it so, O Ibn ʿAmr? Do you know that I am the most beloved of the people of the earth to the people of heaven? He said: Yes, by the Lord of the Kaʿbah, you are the most beloved of the people of the earth to the people of heaven. He said: Then what made you fight me and my father on the day of Siffin? By Allah, my father is better than me. He said: Yes, but ʿAmr complained about me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, saying: ʿAbd Allah stands at night and fasts during the day. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Pray and sleep, fast and break your fast, and obey ʿAmr. When the day of Siffin came, he made me swear an oath. By Allah, I did not increase their numbers, nor draw a sword for them, nor thrust with a spear, nor shoot an arrow. Al-Husayn said to him: Do you not know that there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator? He said: Yes. He said: And so it was as if he accepted it from him.

Musa said: 'O God of all creation, O Master of the Day of Judgment, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor, what have You prepared for them? What have You rewarded them?' He said: 'O Musa, as for those who renounce the world, I grant them My Paradise; they will settle wherever they wish. As for those who are pious from what I have forbidden them, there is no servant who meets Me on the Day of Resurrection except that I scrutinize his account and question him about what was in his hands, except the pious ones. I am shy of them and honor them, so I enter them into Paradise without reckoning. As for those who weep from fear of Me, they have the highest company; they will not be shared in it.'

I enjoin upon you the fear of Allah, and I entrust you to Allah, and I appoint Him as successor over you. Indeed, I am to you a clear warner from Him.

And He said: 'Is there not in Hell a dwelling for the arrogant?' Then he said: 'The appointed time has drawn near, and the return is to Allah, to the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary, to the Garden of Refuge, to the highest companion, to the fullest cup, and to the good fortune and pleasant life.' We said: Who will wash you, O Messenger of Allah? He said: 'The men of my household, the nearest then the next nearest.' We said: How should we shroud you? He said: 'In these clothes of mine, if you wish, or in a Yemeni robe, or in white Egyptian cloth.' We said: Who among us will pray over you? Then we wept and he wept. Then he said: 'Gently, may Allah forgive you and reward you well on behalf of your Prophet. When you have washed me and shrouded me, place me on my bier in this house of mine at the edge of my grave. Then leave me for a while, for the first to pray over me will be my companion and close friend Jibrīl, then Mīkāʾīl, then Isrāfīl, then the Angel of Death with his hosts. Then enter to me in groups, pray over me and greet me with peace, and do not harm me with a wailing woman, nor with clamor, nor with lamentation. Let the men of my household and their women begin the prayer over me, then you. Convey abundant greetings from me to those of my companions who are absent, for I have indeed greeted those who pledged allegiance to me upon my religion until the Day of Resurrection.' We said: Who will place you in your grave? He said: 'My family along with many angels, who see you from where you do not see them.'

He said, "Rather, the wealthy are the lowest, except those who say with their wealth this way and that way, and few are they." I said, "How, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "There is no owner of camels who does not pay their zakah in their abundance and hardship except that they will come on the Day of Resurrection in a wide, flat, barren land, trampling him with their hooves; every time the first of them passes, the last of them returns to him, until judgment is passed among the people." I said, "And horses, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Horses are for three groups: whoever acquires them as a preparation for the cause of Allah, their hardship and ease will be for him; and by Allah, if they cut across wide open spaces and then climbed one or two high places and descended upon a green pasture, that would be for him. And whoever acquires them out of pride, they will be a burden on him on the Day of Resurrection." They said, "And donkeys, O Prophet of Allah?" He said, "Allah has not revealed anything concerning them except this single unique verse: 'So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it.'"

     لَمَّا فَارَقَتِ الْخَوَارِجُ عَلِيًّا، خَرَجَ فِي طَلَبِهِمْ، وَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ، فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى عَسْكَرِ الْقَوْمِ، فَإِذَا لَهُمْ دَوِيٌّ كَدَوِيِّ النَّحْلِ مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ، وَفِيهِمْ أَصْحَابُ الثَّفِنَاتِ، وَأَصْحَابُ الْبَرَانِسِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُمْ دَخَلَنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَكٌّ، فَتَنَحَّيْتُ فَرَكَزْتُ رُمْحِي، وَنَزَلْتُ عَنْ فَرَسِي، وَوَضَعْتُ تُرْسِي، فَنَثَرْتُ عَلَيْهِ دِرْعِي، وَأَخَذْتُ بِمِقْوَدِ فَرَسِي، فَقُمْتُ أُصَلِّي إِلَى رُمْحِي، وَأَنَا أَقُولُ فِي صَلَاتِي: اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ قِتَالُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمِ لَكَ طَاعَةً فَائْذَنْ فِيهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ مَعْصِيَةً فَأَرِنِي بَرَاءَتَكَ قَالَ: فَأَنَا كَذَلِكَ، إِذْ أَقْبَلَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَى بَغْلَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَلَمَّا حَاذَانِي قَالَ: تَعَوَّذْ بِاللهِ يَا جُنْدُبُ مِنَ الشَّكِّ، فَجِئْتُ أَسْعَى إِلَيْهِ، وَنَزَلَ فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي، إِذْ أَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى بِرْذَوْنٍ يَقْرَبُ بِهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ: " مَا تَشَاءُ ؟ " قَالَ: أَلَكَ حَاجَةٌ فِي الْقَوْمِ ؟ قَالَ: " وَمَا ذَاكَ ؟ " قَالَ: قَدْ قَطَعُوا النَّهَرَ، فَذَهَبُوا، قَالَ: " مَا قَطَعُوهُ ؟ " قُلْتُ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ أَرْفَعُ مِنْهُ فِي الْجَرْيِ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ: " مَا تَشَاءُ ؟ " قَالَ: أَلَكَ حَاجَةٌ فِي الْقَوْمِ ؟ قَالَ: " وَمَا ذَاكَ ؟ " قَالَ: قَدْ قَطَعُوا النَّهَرَ، فَذَهَبُوا، قُلْتُ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: " مَا قَطَعُوهُ " ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ يَسْتَحْضِرُ بِفَرَسِهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، قَالَ: " مَا تَشَاءُ ؟ " قَالَ: " أَلَكَ حَاجَةٌ فِي الْقَوْمِ ؟ " قَالَ: " وَمَا ذَاكَ ؟ " قَالَ: قَدْ قَطَعُوا النَّهَرَ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: " مَا قَطَعُوهُ، وَلَا يَقْطَعُوهُ، وَلَيُقْتَلُنَّ دُونَهُ، عَهْدٌ مِنَ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ". قُلْتُ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، ثُمَّ قُمْتُ، فَأَمْسَكْتُ لَهُ بِالرِّكَابِ، فَرَكِبَ فَرَسَهُ، ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى دِرْعِي، فَلَبِسْتُهَا وَإِلَى فَرَسِي، فَعَلَوْتُهُ، ثُمَّ وَضَعْتُ رِجْلِي فِي الرِّكَابِ، وَخَرَجْتُ أُسَايِرُهُ، فَقَالَ لِي: " يَا جُنْدُبُ " قُلْتُ: لَبَّيْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ: " أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِمْ رَجُلًا يَقْرَأُ الْمُصْحَفَ، يَدْعُو إِلَى كِتَابِ رَبِّهِمْ، وَسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّهِمْ، فَلَا يُقْبِلُ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ حَتَّى يَرْشُقُوهُ بِالنَّبْلِ، يَا جُنْدُبُ، أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَا يُقْتَلُ مِنَّا عَشَرَةٌ، وَلَا يَنْجُو مِنْهُمْ عَشَرَةٌ ". فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى الْقَوْمِ، وَهُمْ فِي مُعَسْكَرِهِمُ الَّذِي كَانُوا فِيهِ لَمْ يَبْرَحُوا، فَنَادَى عَلِيٌّ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ فَصَفَّهُمْ، ثُمَّ أَتَى الصَّفَّ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ ذَا إِلَى رَأْسِهِ ذَا مَرَّتَيْنِ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ يَأْخُذُ هَذَا الْمُصْحَفَ، فَيَمْشِي بِهِ إِلَى هَؤُلَاءِ، فَيَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى كِتَابِ رَبِّهِمْ، وَسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّهِمْ، وَهُوَ مَقْتُولٌ، وَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ ؟ " فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ إِلَّا شَابٌّ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى عَلِيٌّ حَدَاثَةَ سِنِّهِ، قَالَ لَهُ: " ارْجِعْ إِلَى مَوْقِفِكَ "، ثُمَّ نَادَى الثَّانِيَةَ، فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِلَيْهِ إِلَّا ذَلِكَ الشَّابُّ ثُمَّ نَادَى الثَّالِثَةَ، فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِلَيْهِ إِلَّا ذَلِكَ الشَّابُّ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ: " خُذْ، فَأَخَذَ الْمُصْحَفَ "، فَقَالَ: " أَمَا إِنَّكَ مَقْتُولٌ، وَلَسْتَ تُقْبِلُ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِكَ حَتَّى يَرْشُقُوكَ بِالنَّبْلِ "، فَخَرَجَ الشَّابُّ يَمْشِي بِالْمُصْحَفِ إِلَى الْقَوْمِ، فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنْهُمْ حَيْثُ سَمِعُوا، قَامُوا، وَنَشَبُوا الْقِتَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ، قَالَ: فَرَمَاهُ إِنْسَانٌ بِالنَّبْلِ، فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ، فَقَعَدَ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: " دُونَكُمُ الْقَوْمَ ". قَالَ جُنْدُبٌ: " فَقَتَلْتُ بِكَفِّي هَذِهِ بَعْدَ مَا دَخَلَنِي مَا كَانَ دَخَلَنِي ثَمَانِيَةً، قَبْلَ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ الظُّهْرَ، وَمَا قُتِلَ مِنَّا عَشَرَةٌ وَلَا نَجَا مِنْهُمْ عَشَرَةٌ كَمَا قَالَ

     ✧ When the Khawārij separated from ʿAlī, he went out in pursuit of them, and we went out with him. We reached the army of the people, and they had a humming like the humming of bees from reciting the Qur’an. Among them were people with calloused foreheads and people wearing burnooses. When I saw them, doubt entered me about that. So I withdrew, planted my spear, dismounted from my horse, placed my shield, and spread my armor over it. I took hold of my horse’s rein and stood praying facing my spear, saying in my prayer: “O God, if fighting these people is obedience to You, then permit it; and if it is disobedience, then show me Your innocence.” He said: While I was like that, ʿAlī came forward on the mule of the Messenger of God ﷺ. When he came alongside me, he said: “Seek refuge in God from doubt, O Jundub.” So I came hastening to him, and he dismounted and stood praying. Then a man came forward on a horse, galloping, and said: “O Commander of the Faithful.” He said: “What do you want?” He said: “Do you have any need concerning the people?” He said: “And what is that?” He said: “They have crossed the river and gone.” He said: “They have not crossed it.” I said: “Glory be to God.” Then another came, faster in running, and said: “O Commander of the Faithful.” He said: “What do you want?” He said: “Do you have any need concerning the people?” He said: “And what is that?” He said: “They have crossed the river and gone.” I said: “God is greater.” Then ʿAlī said: “They have not crossed it.” Then another came spurring his horse, and said: “O Commander of the Faithful.” He said: “What do you want?” He said: “Do you have any need concerning the people?” He said: “And what is that?” He said: “They have crossed the river.” Then ʿAlī said: “They have not crossed it, and they will not cross it. They will surely be killed before it—a covenant from God and His Messenger.” I said: “God is greater.” Then I stood, held the stirrup for him, and he mounted his horse. Then I returned to my armor, put it on, went back to my horse, mounted it, put my foot in the stirrup, and went out walking alongside him. He said to me: “O Jundub.” I said: “At your service, O Commander of the Faithful.” He said: “As for me, I will send a man to them with the muṣḥaf, calling them to the Book of their Lord and the Sunnah of their Prophet. He will not turn his face toward us until they shoot him with arrows. O Jundub, no ten of us will be killed and no ten of them will escape.” We came to the people while they were in their camp where they had been, not having moved. ʿAlī called out among his companions and arranged them in rows, then came to the row from one end to the other twice, saying: “Who will take this muṣḥaf, go with it to these people, call them to the Book of their Lord and the Sunnah of their Prophet, and he will be killed, and for him is Paradise?” No one answered him except a young man from Banū ʿĀmir b. Ṣaʿṣaʿa. When ʿAlī saw how young he was, he said to him: “Return to your place.” Then he called out a second time, and no one came out to him except that young man. Then he called out a third time, and no one came out to him except that young man. So ʿAlī said to him: “Take it.” He took the muṣḥaf, and ʿAlī said: “Indeed, you will be killed, and you will not turn your face toward us until they shoot you with arrows.” The young man went out walking with the muṣḥaf toward the people. When he drew near enough for them to hear, they stood up and began fighting before he could return. A man shot him with arrows, and he turned his face toward us and sat down. Then ʿAlī said: “Now attack the people.” Jundub said: “By this hand of mine, after the doubt that had entered me had passed, I killed eight before I prayed the noon prayer, and not ten of us were killed and not ten of them escaped, as he said.”

They said, 'Rejoice at the glad tidings from Allah and His Messenger, for we recognize in you the description given by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' They told me what he had said to them. So I fed them, gave them drink, provided them with provisions, and went out with them until I guided them to the road. Then I returned to my family, instructed them regarding my camels, and then went out to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said, 'What do you call to?' He said, 'I call to the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, the establishment of prayer, the giving of zakah, the pilgrimage to the House, and the fast of Ramadan.' I said, 'If we answer you to this, are we safe regarding our families, our blood, and our wealth?' He said, 'Yes.' So I became Muslim and returned to my people, informing them of my Islam. Many of them became Muslim at my hands. Then I emigrated to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. While I was with him one day, he said to me, 'O ʿAmr, would you like me to show you a sign of Paradise? He eats food, drinks drink, and walks in the markets.' I said, 'Yes, may my father be ransomed for you.' He said, 'This man and his people are a sign of Paradise,' and he pointed to ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib. Then he said to me, 'O ʿAmr, would you like me to show you a sign of the Fire? He eats food, drinks drink, and walks in the markets.' I said, 'Yes, may my father be ransomed for you.' He said, 'This man and his people are a sign of the Fire,' and he pointed to a man. When the strife occurred, I remembered the words of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so I fled from the sign of the Fire to the sign of Paradise. And do you think the Umayyads will kill me after this? I said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'By Allah, even if I were in a hole within the depths of a hole, the Umayyads would extract me and kill me.'

When she entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he would welcome her, rise to her, kiss her hand, and seat her in his place. She entered upon him while he was in his house, and he whispered to her, and she wept. Then he whispered to her again, and she laughed. ʿA'ishah said: I said to the women, 'I used to think that this woman had superiority over other women; while she was weeping, she then laughed.' I asked her afterwards, 'What did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ whisper to you?' She did not tell me. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, I asked her, and she said, 'He said: I am going to die in this illness of mine. I grieved and wept. And he whispered to me that I would be the first of his family to join him, and I was pleased with that and laughed.'

And it has reached me that between two of the gates of Paradise is a distance of forty years, and by Allah, a day will come to it when it is crowded and thronged. I have seen myself with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as the seventh of seven, and our mouths were sore from eating leaves.

And it has reached me that there was never a prophethood except that it was followed by kingship. I seek refuge with Allah from being great in my own eyes but contemptible in the eyes of people. You will test the rulers after me.
