   قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ قَرِيبٌ مِنْكُمْ فَاحْذَرُوهُ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَسْلِمْ يَا أَبَا سُفْيَانَ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَوْمِي قَوْمِي قَالَ «فَإِنَّ قَوْمَكَ مَنْ أَغْلَقَ بَابَهُ فَهُوَ آمِنٌ» قَالَ اجْعَلْ لِي شَيْئًا قَالَ «مَنْ دَخَلَ دَارَكَ فَهُوَ آمِنٌ»

   ✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said, “Abū Sufyān is close to you, so beware of him.” Then the Messenger of God ﷺ said to him, “Submit, O Abū Sufyān.” He said, “O Messenger of God, my people, my people.” He said, “As for your people, whoever locks his door is safe.” He said, “Grant me something.” He said, “Whoever enters your house is safe.”

   انْطَلَقْتُ فِي الْمُدَّةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا بِالشَّامِ إِذْ جِيءَ بِكِتَابٍ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى هِرَقْلَ قَالَ وَكَانَ دِحْيَةُ الْكَلْبِيُّ جَاءَ بِهِ فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى عَظِيمِ بُصْرَى فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى هِرَقْلَ فَقَالَ هِرَقْلُ هَهُنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَدُعِيتُ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَى هِرَقْلَ فَأَجْلَسَنَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَيُّكُمْ أَقْرَبُ نَسَبًا مِنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ؟ قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ قُلْتُ أَنَا فَأَجْلَسُونِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَأَجْلَسُوا أَصْحَابِي خَلْفِي ثُمَّ دَعَا بِتَرْجُمَانِهِ فَقَالَ قُلْ لَهُمْ إِنِّي سَائِلٌ عَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ فَإِنْ كَذَبَنِي فَكَذِّبُوهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ وَايْمُ اللهِ لَوْلَا أَنْ يُؤْثَرَ عَلَيَّ الْكَذِبُ لَكَذَبْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِتَرْجُمَانِهِ سَلْهُ كَيْفَ حَسَبُهُ فِيكُمْ؟ قَالَ هُوَ فِينَا ذُو حَسَبٍ قَالَ فَهَلْ كَانَ مِنْ آبَائِهِ مَلِكٌ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَهَلْ كُنْتُمْ تَتَّهِمُونَهُ بِالْكَذِبِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُولَ مَا قَالَ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ مَنْ يَتْبَعُهُ أَشْرَافُ النَّاسِ أَمْ ضُعَفَاؤُهُمْ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلْ ضُعَفَاؤُهُمْ فَقَالَ أَيَزِيدُونَ أَمْ يَنْقُصُونَ؟ فَقُلْتُ لَا بَلْ يَزِيدُونَ قَالَ فَهَلْ يَرْتَدُّ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ دِينِهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ فِيهِ سَخْطًا لَهُ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَهَلْ قَاتَلْتُمُوهُ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ قِتَالُكُمْ إِيَّاهُ؟ قُلْتُ يَكُونُ الْحَرْبُ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُ سِجَالًا يُصِيبُ مِنَّا وَنُصِيبُ مِنْهُ قَالَ فَهَلْ يَغْدِرُ؟ قُلْتُ لَا وَنَحْنُ مِنْهُ فِي هُدْنَةٍ لَا نَدْرِي مَا هُوَ صَانِعٌ فِيهَا قَالَ فَوَاللهِ مَا أَمْكَنَنِي مِنْ كَلِمَةٍ أُدْخِلُ فِيهَا شَيْئًا غَيْرُ هَذِهِ قَالَ فَهَلْ قَالَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَهُ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ لِتَرْجُمَانِهِ قُلْ لَهُ إِنِّي سَأَلْتُكَ عَنْ حَسَبِهِ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنَّهُ فِيكُمْ ذُو حَسَبٍ وَكَذَلِكَ الرُّسُلُ تُبْعَثُ فِي أَحْسَابِ قَوْمِهَا وَسَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ كَانَ مِنْ آبَائِهِ مَلِكٌ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنْ لَا فَقُلْتُ لَوْ كَانَ مِنْ آبَائِهِ مَلِكٌ قُلْتُ رَجُلٌ يَطْلُبُ مُلْكَ آبَائِهِ وَسَأَلْتُكَ عَنْ أَتْبَاعِهِ أَضُعَفَاؤُهُمْ أَمْ أَشْرَافُهُمْ؟ فَقُلْتَ بَلْ ضُعَفَاؤُهُمْ وَهُمْ أَتْبَاعُ الرُّسُلِ وَسَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ أَنْتُمْ تَتَّهِمُونَهُ بِالْكَذِبِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُولَ مَا قَالَ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنْ لَا فَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيَدَعَ الْكَذِبَ عَلَى النَّاسِ ثُمَّ يَذْهَبَ فَيَكْذِبَ عَلَى اللهِ وَسَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ يَرْتَدُّ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ دِينِهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ فِيهِ سَخْطًا لَهُ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنْ لَا وَكَذَلِكَ الْإِيمَانُ إِذَا خَالَطَ بَشَاشَةَ الْقُلُوبِ وَسَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ يَزِيدُونَ أَمْ يَنْقُصُونَ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنَّهُمْ يَزِيدُونَ وَكَذَلِكَ الْإِيمَانُ حَتَّى يَتِمَّ وَسَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ قَاتَلْتُمُوهُ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنَّكُمْ قَاتَلْتُمُوهُ فَيكُونُ الْحَرْبُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ سِجَالًا يَنَالُ مِنْكُمْ وَتَنَالُونَ مِنْهُ وَكَذَلِكَ الرُّسُلُ تُبْتَلَى ثُمَّ تَكُونُ لَهُمُ الْعَاقِبَةُ وَسَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ يَغْدِرُ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَغْدِرُ وَكَذَلِكَ الرُّسُلُ لَا تَغْدِرُ وَسَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ قَالَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَهُ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنْ لَا فَقُلْتُ لَوْ كَانَ قَالَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَهُ قُلْتُ رَجُلٌ ائْتَمَّ بِقَوْلٍ قِيلَ قَبْلَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ فَبِمَا يَأْمُرُكُمْ؟ قُلْتُ يَأْمُرُنَا بِالصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ وَالصِّلَةِ وَالْعَفَافِ قَالَ فإِنْ يَكُ مَا تَقُولُ فِيهِ حَقًّا إِنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ وَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ خَارِجٌ وَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَظُنُّهُ مِنْكُمْ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَخْلُصُ لَأَحْبَبْتُ لِقَاءَهُ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ عِنْدَهُ لَغَسَلْتُ عَنْ قَدَمَيْهِ وَلَيَبْلُغَنَّ مُلْكُهُ مَا تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِكِتَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَرَأَهُ فَإِذَا فِيهِ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى هِرَقْلَ عَظِيمِ الرُّومِ سَلَامٌ عَلَى مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْهُدَى أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي أَدْعُوكَ بِدِعَايَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ أَسْلِمْ تَسْلَمْ وَأَسْلِمْ يُؤْتِكَ اللهُ أَجْرَكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَإِنْ تَرَكْتَ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ إِثْمَ الْأَرِيسِيِّينَ وَ {يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ تَعَالَوْا إِلَى كَلِمَةٍ سَوَاءٍ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {بِأَنَّا مُسْلِمُونَ} فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ الْكِتَابِ ارْتَفَعَتِ الْأَصْوَاتُ عِنْدَهُ وَكَثُرَ اللَّغَطُ وَأُمِرَ بِنَا فَأُخْرِجْنَا فَقُلْتُ لِأَصْحَابِي حِينَ خَرَجْنَا لَقَدْ أَمِرَ أَمْرُ ابْنِ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ إِنَّهُ لَيَخَافُهُ مَلِكُ بَنِي الْأَصْفَرِ فَمَا زِلْتُ مُوقِنًا بِأَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ سَيَظْهَرُ حَتَّى أَدْخَلَ اللهُ عَلَيَّ الْإِسْلَامَ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فَدَعَا هِرَقْلُ عُظَمَاءَ الرُّومِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي دَارٍ لَهُ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الرُّومِ هَلْ لَكُمْ فِي الْفَلَاحِ وَالرَّشَدِ آخِرَ الْأَبَدِ؟ وَأَنْ يَثْبُتَ لَكُمْ مُلْكُكُمْ؟ قَالَ فَحَاصُوا حَيْصَةَ حُمُرِ الْوَحْشِ إِلَى الْأَبْوَابِ فَوَجَدُوهَا قَدْ غُلِّقَتْ فَدَعَا بِهِمْ إِنِّي إِنَّمَا اخْتَبَرْتُ شِدَّتَكُمْ عَلَى دِينِكُمْ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ مِنْكُمِ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتُ فَسَجَدُوا لَهُ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ

   ✧ I set out during the truce that was between us and the Messenger of God ﷺ. While I was in Syria, a letter from the Messenger of God ﷺ was brought to Heraclius. Diḥyah al-Kalbī had brought it and handed it to the governor of Buṣrā, who handed it to Heraclius. Heraclius said, “Is there here a man from the people of this man who claims to be a prophet?” They said, “Yes.” So I was summoned along with a group of Quraysh, and we entered upon Heraclius. He seated us before him and said, “Which of you is closest in kinship to this man who claims to be a prophet?” Abū Sufyān said, “I said, ‘I am.’” So they seated me before him and seated my companions behind me. Then he called for his interpreter and said, “Tell them that I am going to ask about this man who claims to be a prophet. If he lies to me, then call him a liar.” Abū Sufyān said, “By God, were it not that lying would be reported of me, I would have lied.” Then he said to his interpreter, “Ask him how is his lineage among you?” I said, “He is among us of noble lineage.” He said, “Was any of his fathers a king?” I said, “No.” He said, “Did you ever accuse him of lying before he said what he said?” I said, “No.” He said, “Who follows him, the nobles of the people or their weak ones?” I said, “Rather their weak ones.” He said, “Are they increasing or decreasing?” I said, “Rather they are increasing.” He said, “Does anyone of them apostatize from his religion after entering it out of displeasure with it?” I said, “No.” He said, “Have you fought him?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “How was your fighting against him?” I said, “War between us and him alternates; he strikes us and we strike him.” He said, “Does he betray?” I said, “No, and we are with him in a truce, not knowing what he will do during it.” He said, “By God, I was not able to insert anything else into a word besides this.” He said, “Has anyone said this saying before him?” I said, “No.” He said to his interpreter, “Tell him: I asked you about his lineage, and you claimed that he is among you of noble lineage, and so are messengers sent among the noblest of their people. I asked you whether any of his fathers was a king, and you claimed not, so I said, had any of his fathers been a king, I would have said he is a man seeking the kingdom of his fathers. I asked you about his followers, whether they are their weak ones or their nobles, and you said rather their weak ones, and they are the followers of the messengers. I asked you whether you accused him of lying before he said what he said, and you claimed not, so I knew that he would not refrain from lying against people and then go and lie against God. I asked you whether anyone of them apostatizes from his religion after entering it out of displeasure with it, and you claimed not, and so is faith when it mingles with the joy of hearts. I asked you whether they increase or decrease, and you claimed that they increase, and so is faith until it is complete. I asked you whether you fought him, and you claimed that you fought him, and war between you and him alternates; he gains from you and you gain from him, and so are messengers tested, then the outcome is theirs. I asked you whether he betrays, and you claimed that he does not betray, and so messengers do not betray. I asked you whether anyone said this saying before him, and you claimed not, so I said, had anyone said this saying before him, I would have said a man following a saying said before him.” Then he said, “What does he command you?” I said, “He commands us to prayer, zakāh, maintaining ties, and chastity.” He said, “If what you say about him is true, he is a prophet. I knew that he was to emerge, but I did not think he would be from among you. If I knew I could reach him, I would love to meet him, and if I were with him, I would wash his feet. His dominion will surely reach what is beneath my feet.” Then he called for the letter of the Messenger of God ﷺ and read it. In it was: “In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. From Muḥammad, the Messenger of God ﷺ, to Heraclius, the great one of the Romans. Peace be upon those who follow guidance. To proceed: I call you with the call of Islam. Submit, and you will be safe. Submit, and God will give you your reward twice. If you turn away, then upon you is the sin of the Arīsiyyīn. And {O People of the Book, come to a word common between us and you} until His saying {that we are Muslims}.” When he finished reading the letter, voices rose around him and clamor increased, and we were ordered to leave. When we left, I said to my companions, “The affair of Ibn Abī Kabshah has become great. The king of the Banū al-Aṣfar fears him.” I remained convinced that the affair of the Messenger of God ﷺ would prevail until God brought Islam to me. Al-Zuhrī said: Heraclius summoned the nobles of the Romans and gathered them in a hall of his. He said, “O assembly of Romans, will you accept success and right guidance forever and that your kingdom remain firm?” They bolted like wild asses to the doors, but found them locked. Then he called them back: “I only tested your steadfastness in your religion. I have seen from you what pleases me.” So they prostrated to him and were pleased with him.

   أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ هِرَقْلَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ فِي رَكْبٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَكَانُوا تُجَّارًا بِالشَّامِ فِي الْمُدَّةِ الَّتِي مَادَّ فِيهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ وَكُفَّارَ قُرَيْشٍ فَأَتَوْهُ بِإِيلِيَاءَ فَدَعَاهُمْ فِي مَجْلِسٍ وَحَوْلَهُ عُقَلَاءُ الرُّومِ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِتَرْجُمَانِهِ فَقَالَ قُلْ لَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ أَقْرَبُ نَسَبًا بِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ أَنَا أَقْرَبُهُمْ نَسَبًا فَقَالَ ادْنُ مِنِّي وَقَرَّبُوا أَصْحَابَهُ فَجْعَلُوهُمْ عِنْدَ ظَهْرِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِتَرْجُمَانِهِ قُلْ لَهُمْ إِنِّي سَائِلٌ هَذَا عَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ فَإِنْ كَذَبَنِي فَكَذِّبُوهُ قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فَوَاللهِ لَوْلَا الْحَيَاءُ أَنْ يَأْثِرُوا عَلَيَّ الْكَذِبَ لَكَذَبْتُهُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَوَّلُ شَيْءٍ سَأَلَنِي عَنْهُ قَالَ فَكَيْفَ نَسَبُهُ فِيكُمْ؟ قُلْتُ هُوَ فِينَا ذُو نَسَبٍ قَالَ فَهَلْ قَالَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَهُ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَهَلْ كَانَ مِنْ آبَائِهِ مَلِكٌ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَأَشْرَافُهُمِ اتَّبَعُوهُ أَمْ ضُعَفَاؤُهُمْ؟ قُلْتُ بَلْ ضُعَفَاؤُهُمْ قَالَ يَزِيدُونَ أَمْ يَنْقُصُونَ؟ قُلْتُ بَلْ يَزِيدُونَ قَالَ فَهَلْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ يَرْتَدُّ سَخْطَةً لِدِينِهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ فِيهِ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَهَلْ كُنْتُمْ تَتَّهِمُونَهُ بِالْكَذِبِ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَهَلْ يَغْدِرُ؟ قُلْتُ لَا وَنَحْنُ مِنْهُ فِي مُدَّةٍ لَا نَدْرِي مَا هُوَ فَاعِلٌ فِيهَا قَالَ وَلَمْ يُمْكِنِّي كَلِمَةٌ أُدْخِلُ فِيهَا شَيْئًا غَيْرُ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ قَالَ فَهَلْ قَاتَلْتُمُوهُ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ قِتَالُكُمْ إِيَّاهُ؟ قُلْتُ يَكُونُ الْحَرْبُ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُ سِجَالًا ودُوَلًا يَنَالُ مِنَّا وَنَنَالُ مِنْهُ قَالَ مَاذَا يَأْمُرُكُمْ؟ قُلْتُ يَقُولُ اعْبُدُوا اللهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَاتْرُكُوا مَا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُكُمْ وَيَأْمُرُ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ وَالصَّدَقَةِ وَبِالْعَفَافِ وَبِالصِّلَةِ فَقَالَ لِلتَّرْجُمَانِ قُلْ لَهُ سَأَلْتُكَ عَنْ نَسَبِهِ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنَّهُ فِيكُمْ ذُو نَسَبٍ وَكَذَلِكَ الرُّسُلُ تُبْعَثُ فِي نَسَبِ قَوْمِهِمْ وَسَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ قَالَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ قَبْلَهُ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنْ لَا فَقُلْتُ لَوْ كَانَ قَالَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَهُ؛ قُلْتُ رَجُلٌ ائْتَمَّ بِقَوْلٍ قِيلَ قَبْلَهُ وَسَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ كَانَ مِنْ آبَائِهِ مَلِكٌ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنْ لَا فَقُلْتُ لَوْ كَانَ فِي آبَائِهِ مَلِكٌ قُلْتُ يَطْلُبُ مُلْكَ آبَائِهِ وَسَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ كُنْتُمْ تَتَّهِمُونَهُ بِالْكَذِبِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُولَ مَا قَالَ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنْ لَا فَقَدْ أَعْرِفُ أَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيَذَرَ الْكَذِبَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكْذِبَ عَلَى اللهِ وَسَأَلْتُكَ أَشْرَافُ النَّاسِ اتَّبَعُوهُ أَمْ ضُعَفَاؤُهُمْ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنَّ ضُعَفَاءَهُمِ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُ وَهُمْ أَتْبَاعُ الرُّسُلِ وَسَأَلْتُكَ أَيَزِيدُونَ أَمْ يَنْقُصُونَ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنَّهُمْ يَزِيدُونَ وَكَذَلِكَ أَمْرُ الْإِيمَانِ حَتَّى يَتِمَّ وَسَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ يَرْتَدُّ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ سَخْطَةً لِدِينِهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ فِيهِ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنْ لَا وَكَذَلِكَ الْإِيمَانُ حِينَ يُخَالِطُ بَشَاشَةَ الْقُلُوبَ وَسَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ يَغْدِرُ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنْ لَا وَكَذَلِكَ الرُّسُلُ لَا يَغْدِرونَ وَسَأَلْتُكَ كَيْفَ قِتَالُكُمْ إِيَّاهُ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنَّ الْحَرْبَ بَيْنَكُمْ سِجَالٌ وَدُوَلٌ وَكَذَلِكَ الرُّسُلُ تُبْتَلَى ثُمَّ يَكُونُ لَهُمُ الْعَاقِبَةُ وَسَأَلْتُكَ عَمَّا يَأْمُرُكُمْ بِهِ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنَّهُ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا اللهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَيَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ عِبَادَةِ الْأَوْثَانِ وَيَأْمُرُكُمْ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَالصَّدَقَةِ وَالْعَفَافِ وَالصِّلَةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ مَا تَقُولُ حَقًّا فَيُوشِكُ أَنْ يَمْلِكَ مَوْضِعَ قَدَمَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ وَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ خَارِجٌ ولَكِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ مِنْكُمْ وَلَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنْ أَخْلُصَ إِلَيْهِ لَالْتَمَسْتُ لُقِيَّهُ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ عِنْدَهُ لَغَسَلْتُ قَدَمَيْهِ ثُمَّ دَعَا

   Abu Sufyan bin Harb informed me that Heraclius had sent a messenger to him while he had been accompanying a caravan from Quraish. They were merchants doing business in Sham (Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan), at the time when Messenger of Allah ﷺ had truce with Abu Sufyan and Quraish infidels. So Abu Sufyan and his companions went to Heraclius at Ilya (Jerusalem). Heraclius called them in the court and he had all the senior Roman dignitaries around him. He called for his translator who, translating Heraclius's question said to them, "Who amongst you is closely related to that man who claims to be a Prophet?" Abu Sufyan replied, "I am the nearest relative to him (amongst the group)." Heraclius said, "Bring him (Abu Sufyan) close to me and make his companions stand behind him." Abu Sufyan added, Heraclius told his translator to tell my companions that he wanted to put some questions to me regarding that man (The Prophet) and that if I told a lie they (my companions) should contradict me." Abu Sufyan added, "By Allah! Had I not been afraid of my companions labeling me a liar, I would not have spoken the truth about the Prophet. The first question he asked me about him was: 'What is his family status amongst you?' I replied, 'He belongs to a good (noble) family amongst us.' Heraclius further asked, 'Has anybody amongst you ever claimed the same (i.e. to be a Prophet) before him?' I replied, 'No.' He said, 'Was anybody amongst his ancestors a king?' I replied, 'No.' Heraclius asked, 'Do the nobles or the poor follow him?' I replied, 'It is the poor who follow him.' He said, 'Are his followers increasing decreasing (day by day)?' I replied, 'They are increasing.' He then asked, 'Does anybody amongst those who embrace his religion become displeased and renounce the religion afterwards?' I replied, 'No.' Heraclius said, 'Have you ever accused him of telling lies before his claim (to be a Prophet)?' I replied, 'No. ' Heraclius said, 'Does he break his promises?' I replied, 'No. We are at truce with him but we do not know what he will do in it.' I could not find opportunity to say anything against him except that. Heraclius asked, 'Have you ever had a war with him?' I replied, 'Yes.' Then he said, 'What was the outcome of the battles?' I replied, 'Sometimes he was victorious and sometimes we.' Heraclius said, 'What does he order you to do?' I said, 'He tells us to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship anything along with Him, and to renounce all that our ancestors had said. He orders us to pray, to speak the truth, to be chaste and to keep good relations with our Kith and kin.' Heraclius asked the translator to convey to me the following, I asked you about his family and your reply was that he belonged to a very noble family. In fact all the Apostles come from noble families amongst their respective peoples. I questioned you whether anybody else amongst you claimed such a thing, your reply was in the negative. If the answer had been in the affirmative, I would have thought that this man was following the previous man's statement. Then I asked you whether anyone of his ancestors was a king. Your reply was in the negative, and if it had been in the affirmative, I would have thought that this man wanted to take back his ancestral kingdom. I further asked whether he was ever accused of telling lies before he said what he said, and your reply was in the negative. So I wondered how a person who does not tell a lie about others could ever tell a lie about Allah. I, then asked you whether the rich people followed him or the poor. You replied that it was the poor who followed him. And in fact all the Apostle have been followed by this very class of people. Then I asked you whether his followers were increasing or decreasing. You replied that they were increasing, and in fact this is the way of true faith, till it is complete in all respects. I further asked you whether there was anybody, who, after embracing his religion, became displeased and discarded his religion. Your reply was in the negative, and in fact this is (the sign of) true faith, when its delight enters the hearts and mixes with them completely. I asked you whether he had ever betrayed. You replied in the negative and likewise the Apostles never betray. Then I asked you what he ordered you to do. You replied that he ordered you to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship any thing along with Him and forbade you to worship idols and ordered you to pray, to speak the truth and to be chaste. If what you have said is true, he will very soon occupy this place underneath my feet and I knew it (from the scriptures) that he was going to appear but I did not know that he would be from you, and if I could reach him definitely, I would go immediately to meet him and if I were with him, I would certainly wash his feet.' Heraclius then asked for the letter addressed by Allah's Apostle which was delivered by Dihya to the Governor of Busra, who forwarded it to Heraclius to read. The contents of the letter were as follows: "In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful (This letter is) from Muhammad the slave of Allah and His Apostle to Heraclius the ruler of Byzantine. Peace be upon him, who follows the right path. Furthermore I invite you to Islam, and if you become a Muslim you will be safe, and Allah will double your reward, and if you reject this invitation of Islam you will be committing a sin of Arisiyin (tillers, farmers i.e. your people). And (Allah's Statement:) 'O people of the scripture! Come to a word common to you and us that we worship none but Allah and that we associate nothing in worship with Him, and that none of us shall take others as Lords beside Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims (those who have surrendered to Allah).' (3:64). Abu Sufyan then added, "When Heraclius had finished his speech and had read the letter, there was a great hue and cry in the Royal Court. So we were turned out of the court. I told my companions that the question of Ibn-Abi-Kabsha) (the Prophet ﷺ Muhammad) has become so prominent that even the King of Bani Al-Asfar (Byzantine) is afraid of him. Then I started to become sure that he (the Prophet) would be the conqueror in the near future till I embraced Islam (i.e. Allah guided me to it)." The sub narrator adds, "Ibn An-Natur was the Governor of llya' (Jerusalem) and Heraclius was the head of the Christians of Sham. Ibn An-Natur narrates that once while Heraclius was visiting ilya' (Jerusalem), he got up in the morning with a sad mood. Some of his priests asked him why he was in that mood? Heraclius was a foreteller and an astrologer. He replied, 'At night when I looked at the stars, I saw that the leader of those who practice circumcision had appeared (become the conqueror). Who are they who practice circumcision?' The people replied, 'Except the Jews nobody practices circumcision, so you should not be afraid of them (Jews). 'Just Issue orders to kill every Jew present in the country.' While they were discussing it, a messenger sent by the king of Ghassan to convey the news of Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Heraclius was brought in. Having heard the news, he (Heraclius) ordered the people to go and see whether the messenger of Ghassan was circumcised. The people, after seeing him, told Heraclius that he was circumcised. Heraclius then asked him about the Arabs. The messenger replied, 'Arabs also practice circumcision.' (After hearing that) Heraclius remarked that sovereignty of the 'Arabs had appeared. Heraclius then wrote a letter to his friend in Rome who was as good as Heraclius in knowledge. Heraclius then left for Homs. (a town in Syrian and stayed there till he received the reply of his letter from his friend who agreed with him in his opinion about the emergence of the Prophet ﷺ and the fact that he was a Prophet. On that Heraclius invited all the heads of the Byzantines to assemble in his palace at Homs. When they assembled, he ordered that all the doors of his palace be closed. Then he came out and said, 'O Byzantines! If success is your desire and if you seek right guidance and want your empire to remain then give a pledge of allegiance to this Prophet (i.e. embrace Islam).' (On hearing the views of Heraclius) the people ran towards the gates of the palace like onagers but found the doors closed. Heraclius realized their hatred towards Islam and when he lost the hope of their embracing Islam, he ordered that they should be brought back in audience. (When they returned) he said, 'What already said was just to test the strength of your conviction and I have seen it.' The people prostrated before him and became pleased with him, and this was the end of Heraclius's story (in connection with his faith). (Using translation from Bukhārī 7)

   ✧ We were a trading people, and the war between us and the Messenger of God had confined us until our wealth was destroyed. When the truce was made between us and the Messenger of God ﷺ, we felt secure in our wealth. I set out with a group of Quraysh heading to Syria, where our trade was. I arrived there when Heraclius had defeated those Persians who had opposed him and expelled them from it, and his great cross was recovered for him, which they had seized. When he learned of that and that his cross had been retrieved, and Ḥimṣ was his residence, he left it on foot, thanking God for what had been restored to him, to pray in Jerusalem. Carpets were spread for him on the road and aromatic plants were thrown on them. When he reached Īliyāʾ and completed his prayer there, with his patricians and bishops of the Romans, the letter of the Messenger of God ﷺ was brought to him with Diḥyah b. Khalīfah al-Kalbī: “In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. From Muḥammad, the Messenger of God, to Heraclius, the great one of the Romans. Peace be upon those who follow guidance. To proceed: Submit, and you will be safe. Submit, and God will give you your reward twice. If you turn away, then upon you is the sin of the peasants.” Muḥammad b. Isḥāq said: Ibn Shihāb said: The bishop of the Christians narrated to me, saying, “I lived to see him in the time of ʿAbd al-Malik b. Marwān, and he claimed that he witnessed that affair of the Messenger of God ﷺ and the affair of Heraclius and understood it.” He said: When the letter of the Messenger of God ﷺ arrived with Diḥyah, he took it and placed it between his thighs and his side. Then he wrote to a man in Rome who read Hebrew, mentioning his affair, describing his situation, and the news of what he brought. The man of Rome wrote back to him that he is the prophet we have been awaiting, no doubt about it, so follow him and believe him. Heraclius ordered the patricians of the Romans to be gathered in the hall of his kingdom, and he ordered the hall to be locked upon them. Then he looked down upon them from an upper room, fearing them for himself, and said, “O assembly of Romans, I have gathered you for a matter. A letter from this man has come to me calling me to his religion. By God, he is the man we have been awaiting and whom we find in our book. Come, let us follow him and believe him, and our world and our hereafter will be safe for us.” They snorted with one snort, then rushed to the doors of the hall to leave, but found them locked against them. He said, “Bring them back to me,” fearing them for himself. They were brought back, and he said, “O assembly of Romans, I only said this statement to you to see how firm you are in your religion in this matter that has occurred. I have seen from you what pleases me.” So they prostrated to him and were pleased with him. He ordered the doors of the hall to be opened for them, and they departed.

   أَنَّهُ كَانَ بِالشَّامِ فِي رِجَالٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ قَدِمُوا تُجَّارًا وَذَلِكَ فِي الْمُدَّةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَبَيْنَ كُفَّارِ قُرَيْشٍ قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فَأَتَى رَسُولُ

   ✧ That he was in Syria with men of Quraysh who had come as merchants, during the truce between the Messenger of God ﷺ and the disbelievers of Quraysh. Abū Sufyān said: The messenger of Caesar came and took me and my companions until we arrived at Īliyāʾ. We entered upon him, and he was seated in his royal court wearing the crown, with the nobles of the Romans around him. He said to his interpreter, “Ask them which of them is closest in kinship to this man who claims to be a prophet.” Abū Sufyān said, “I said, ‘I am the closest of them to him in kinship.’” He said, “What is the relationship between you and him?” I said, “He is my cousin.” Abū Sufyān said, “There was no one from Banū ʿAbd Manāf in the caravan that day except me.” Caesar said, “Bring him near me.” Then he ordered my companions, and they were placed behind my back at my shoulders. Then Caesar said to his interpreter, “Tell his companions: I am going to ask this man about the man who claims to be a prophet. If he lies, then call him a liar.” Abū Sufyān said, “Were it not for the shame that my companions would report lying about me, I would have lied about him when he asked me. But I was ashamed that they would report lying, so I told the truth.” Then Caesar said to his interpreter, “Ask him how is this man’s lineage among you?” I said, “He is among us of noble lineage.” He said, “Has anyone among you ever said this saying?” I said, “No.” He said, “Did you accuse him of lying before he said what he said?” I said, “No.” He said, “Was any of his fathers a king?” I said, “No.” He said, “Do the nobles of the people follow him or their weak ones?” I said, “Rather their weak ones.” He said, “Are they increasing or decreasing?” I said, “Rather increasing.” He said, “Does anyone of them apostatize out of displeasure with his religion after entering it?” I said, “No.” He said, “Does he betray?” I said, “We are with him in a truce now, and we fear that.” Abū Sufyān said, “I was not able to insert into any word anything by which I could disparage him, except that I feared it would be reported of me.” He said, “Have you fought him and has he fought you?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “How is his war and your war?” I said, “It has been alternating, sometimes favoring us and sometimes favoring him.” He said, “What does he command you?” I said, “He commands us to worship God alone and not associate anything with Him, and he forbids us to worship what our fathers worshipped. He commands us to prayer, charity, chastity, fulfilling covenants, and returning trusts.” 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 among the nobility of their people. I asked you whether anyone said this saying before him, and you said no, so I said, had anyone of you said this saying, I would have said he is a man following the saying of one who said it before him. I asked you whether you accused him of lying before he said what he said, and you claimed not, so I knew that he would not refrain from lying against people and then lie against God. I asked you whether any of his fathers was a king, and you claimed not, so I said, had any of his fathers been a king, I would have said he is a man seeking the kingdom of his fathers. I asked you whether the nobles of the people follow him or their weak ones, and you claimed that their weak ones are his followers, and so are the followers of messengers. I asked you whether they increase or decrease, and you claimed that they increase, and so is faith. I asked you whether anyone of them apostatizes out of displeasure with his religion after entering it, and you claimed not, and so is faith when it mingles with the joy of hearts; no one dislikes it. I asked you whether he betrays, and you claimed not, and so messengers do not betray. I asked you whether you fought him and he fought you, and you claimed that he has done that and that your war and his war alternates, sometimes favoring you and sometimes favoring him, and so are messengers, then the outcome is theirs. I asked you what he commands you, and you claimed that he commands you to worship God alone and not associate anything with Him, and he forbids you from what your fathers worshipped, and he commands you to prayer, charity, chastity, and returning trusts. He is a prophet. I knew that he was to emerge, but I did not think he would be from among you. If what I said is true, he will soon possess the place of these two feet of mine. By God, if I hoped to reach him, I would endure meeting him and wash his feet.” Abū Sufyān said: Then he called for the letter of the Messenger of God ﷺ and ordered it to be read. In it was: “In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. From Muḥammad, the servant of God and His Messenger, to Heraclius, the great one of the Romans. Peace be upon those who follow guidance. To proceed: I call you with the call of Islam. Submit, and you will be safe. Submit, and God will give you your reward twice. If you turn away, then upon you is the sin of the Arīsiyyīn. And {O People of the Book, come to a word common between us and you: that we worship none but God and associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God. If they turn away, then say: Bear witness that we are Muslims}.” Abū Sufyān said: When he finished his speech, the voices of those around him from the nobles of the Romans rose, and their clamor increased. I do not know what they were saying. He ordered us to leave. When I left with my companions and was alone, I said, “The affair of Ibn Abī Kabshah has become great. This king of the Banū al-Aṣfar fears him.” Abū Sufyān said: By God, I remained humbled and convinced that his affair would prevail until God brought Islam to me, though I was reluctant.

   ✧ I met the Prophet ﷺ between Arafah and Muzdalifah, so I took hold of the halter of his she-camel and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what will bring me near Paradise and keep me far from the Fire?" He said, "By Allah, if you have been brief in asking, you have indeed made it great and lengthy. Establish the prescribed prayers, pay the obligatory zakat, perform Hajj to the House, and whatever you would love people to do to you, do it to them; and whatever you would hate people to do to you, leave people alone from it. Let go of the halter of the she-camel." Ibrahim b. al-Hajjaj said: "And Sakhr b. al-Qa'qa' al-Bahili said it."

   ✧ Caesar, in his kingdom, his power, and his presence, what did he say? It means that his saying was "If I had known that he was him, I would have walked to him, kissed his head, and washed his feet." Abu Sufyan and his presence, his forehead was sweating with the anxiety of the letter that the Prophet ﷺ wrote to him. Abu Sufyan said, "So, I remained desired by Muhammad ﷺ until I embraced Islam and in his message, he said: 'O people of the Book, come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allah, and that we do not associate anything with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allah. But if they turn away, then say: 'Bear witness that we are Muslims'." "It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, that He may make it prevail over all religions, even if the disbelievers hate it." "Fight against those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and do not adhere to the religion of truth from among those who were given the Scripture, until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled."

Some people from them caught up with me after I had traveled, wanting to bring me back. I said to them, "Would you like me to give you some ounces of gold and two bracelets of mine in Makkah, and you let me go and give me your word?" They did so. I followed them to Makkah and said, "Dig under the threshold of the door, for beneath it are the ounces. Go to such-and-such a woman with such-and-such a sign and take the two ornaments." I left until I reached the Messenger of God ﷺ at Quba before he moved from it. When he saw me, he said, "O Abu Yahya, did the bargain profit?" three times.

He said, "I see you squander your wealth, you take a kunya with the name of a prophet—Abu Yahya—and you claim Arab lineage while your tongue is non-Arab." He said, "As for my squandering my wealth, I spend it only in its proper right. As for my kunya, the Messenger of God ﷺ gave me the kunya Abu Yahya; shall I abandon it because of your words? And as for my claiming Arab lineage, the Byzantines captured me when I was young, and I do not remember my family. Even if I had emerged from a piece of dung, I would trace my lineage to it."

The Prophet ﷺ saw him and said, “Why do I see you angry?” He said, “I passed by this captive of mine in front of Suhayb, and he said, ‘There was a place for the sword on this one’s neck.’” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Perhaps you harmed him.” He said, “No, by Allah.” He said, “If you had harmed him, you would have harmed Allah and His Messenger.”

    ✧ That the polytheists, when they circled around the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and approached the cave and retreated, Wahshi said: Neither Suhayb (was wounded), nor Suhayb should (stay) by me. So when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to leave, he sent Abu Bakr twice or three times to Suhayb, and he found him praying. So Abu Bakr said: O Messenger of Allah, I found him praying, so I disliked interrupting his prayer. Abu Bakr said: You were right. So they both left during the night. And when it was morning, he continued until he came to Umm Rumân, the wife of Abu Bakr, and she said: Shouldn't I see you here (with your brother)? They have left (and they) have left something for you from their provisions. Suhayb said: So I left until I entered upon my wife, Umm 'Umar, and I took my sword, my provisions, and my bow, until I reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Al-Madinah, and I found him (with) Abu Bakr sitting. So when Abu Bakr saw me, he stood up and gave me the glad tidings of the verse that was revealed about me, and he held my hand. So I mentioned some complaints to him, and he apologized and granted me a blessing. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Abu Yahya has made a profit."

Then who is the most wretched of the later peoples?” He said, “I have no knowledge, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “The one who will strike you on this,” and the Prophet ﷺ pointed with his hand to the crown of his head. Ali ؓ used to say to the people of Iraq, “By Allah, I wish that the most wretched of you would be sent and would dye this,” meaning his beard, “from this,” and he placed his hand on the front of his head.

    ✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'Among those before you there was a king who had a sorcerer. When the sorcerer grew old, he said to the king, "I have become old, so send me a boy whom I can teach sorcery." He sent him a boy, and he taught him sorcery. Between the king and the sorcerer there was a monk. The boy heard his words, and he was impressed by his manner and speech. Whenever he went to the sorcerer, he sat with the monk, and when he went to the sorcerer, he beat him, saying, "What kept you?" When he returned to his family, he sat with the monk, and when he went to his family, they said, "What is keeping you?" and they beat him. He complained about that to the monk, who said, "When the sorcerer wants to beat you, say, 'My family kept me,' and when your family wants to beat you, say, 'The sorcerer kept me.'" He said, "While that was the case, one day he came upon a great beast that had blocked the people from passing. He said, 'Today I will know whether the affair of the sorcerer is dearer to God or the affair of the monk.' He took a stone and said, 'In the name of God. O God, if the affair of the monk is dearer to You and more excellent, then kill this beast.' He threw it and killed it, and the people went on. This reached the monk, who said, 'My son, you are more excellent than I, and you will be tested. If you are tested, do not point to me.' The boy used to heal the blind from birth and the leper and these diseases. The king had a close companion who went blind. He heard about the boy and came to him with many gifts, saying, 'Heal me, and you shall have all that is here.' The boy said, 'I do not heal anyone; only God ﷻ heals. If you believe in God, He will heal you.' So he believed in Him, and the boy called upon God ﷻ, and he was cured. The blind man was seized and continually tortured until he pointed to the boy. The king said to him, 'Do you have a lord other than me?' He said, 'Yes, my Lord and your Lord is God.' He kept at him until he pointed to the monk. He seized him with torture and said, 'Recant your religion.' He refused. He ordered a saw, and it was placed on the top of his head, and they split him. He said to the blind man, 'Recant your religion.' He refused. He placed the saw on the top of his head until its two halves fell to the ground. It was said to the boy, 'Recant your religion.' He refused. He sent him with a group to a mountain and said, 'Climb such-and-such mountain with him, and when you reach its summit, if he recants his religion, then fine; otherwise, push him down.' He said, 'They took him to the mountain, and when he reached its summit, he said, "O God, suffice me against them however You will." The mountain shook them, and they all perished. The boy came and entered upon the king, who said, 'What happened to your companions?' He said, 'God ﷻ sufficed me against them.' He sent them with a group in a ship, saying, 'Take him to the sea, and when you are in the middle of the sea, if he recants, then fine; otherwise, drown him.' They took him, and when they were in deep water, he said, "O God, suffice me against them however You will." They all drowned. The boy came, and the king said, 'What happened to your companions?' He said, 'God ﷻ sufficed me against them.' Then the boy said to the king, 'You will not kill me until you do what I command you. If you do it, you will kill me.' He said, 'What is it?' He said, 'Gather the people on a single open plain, then take an arrow from your quiver and say, "In the name of God, the Lord of the boy," then shoot me. If you do that, you will kill me.' He did so, placed the arrow, and said, 'In the name of God, the Lord of the boy.' The arrow struck his temple. The boy placed his hand on the spot of the arrow and died. The people said, 'We believe in the Lord of the boy' three times. It was said to the king, 'Do you see what you were wary of? By God, it has befallen you; all the people have believed.' He ordered the mouths of the streets to be dug, and trenches were dug in them. He said, 'Whoever recants his religion, then fine; otherwise, throw him into them.'

Then I said, 'Yes, and these,' though it was only a little food I had prepared for him. He came, and they came with him, and they ate. I think he said, 'And some of it remained.'

They said: 'Dawud prayed that there would always be a Prophet among his descendants, and we are afraid that if we follow you, the Jews will kill us.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4078)

     ✧ From the hadith of 'Amr al-Hadrami from the people of Homs, from Abu Umamah al-Bahili, he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave us a sermon one day, and most of his sermon was mention of the Dajjal, warning us against him, telling us about him until he finished his sermon. Among what he said to us that day: "Indeed Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has not sent a prophet except that he warned his nation, and I am the last of the prophets and you are the last of the nations, and he will certainly come out among you. If he comes out while I am among you, then I am the advocate for every Muslim, and if he comes out among you after me, then each person is the advocate for himself, and Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is my successor over every Muslim. He will come out from a gap between Iraq and the Levant, spreading corruption right and left. O servants of Allah, remain steadfast, for he will begin by saying: I am a prophet, and there is no prophet after me. Indeed, written between his eyes is 'disbeliever', which every believer will read. Whoever of you meets him should spit in his face and recite the opening verses of Surah of the Companions of the Cave. He will be given power over one soul from the children of Adam, so he will kill it and then bring it back to life, and he will not go beyond that, nor will he be given power over any soul other than it. Among his trials is that with him are a Paradise and a Fire, but his Fire is a Paradise and his Paradise is a Fire. Whoever is tested with his fire should close his eyes and seek help from Allah, and it will be coolness and peace, just as the fire was coolness and peace for Ibrahim. His days are forty days: a day like a year, a day like a month, a day like a week, and the rest of the days like ordinary days. The last of his days is like a mirage: a man reaches the gate of the city in the morning, and he walks before he reaches its other gate." They said: How should we pray, O Messenger of Allah, in those short days? He said: "Estimate them as you estimate the long days."

It was said, "Woe to you, lower your voice, for you have been commanded to do so." He said, "By Allah, I will not do so until I make him hear." He was a coarse, rough Bedouin. When the Prophet ﷺ heard his voice, he said, "Here I am." He said, "What do you think of a man who loves a people but has not yet joined them?" He said, "That one is with the one he loves." He continued narrating to us until he told me that in the direction of the west there is a gate open for repentance, whose width is a journey of seventy years; it will remain open until the sun rises from its direction, and when it rises from its direction, that is when {no soul will benefit from its faith if it had not believed before or earned good through its faith.}

     ✧ I came to the Prophet ﷺ and he presented Islam to me, so I embraced Islam, and he taught me verses of the Quran. I said: O Messenger of Allah, I did deeds in the pre-Islamic era; do I have any reward for them? He said: "What did you do?" I said: I lost two ten-month pregnant she-camels of mine, so I went out seeking them on a camel of mine. Two tents in an open area of land appeared to me, and I headed towards them. In one of them I found an old man, and I said: Have you taken in two ten-month pregnant she-camels? He said: What are their brands? I said: The brand of Ibn Darim. He said: We found your two she-camels, and we delivered their young and let them mate, and Allah has revived through them a household of your people from the Arabs of Mudar. While he was speaking to me, a woman from the other tent called out: She gave birth, to whom she gave birth, he said: What did she give birth to? If it is a boy, he has shared in our people; if it is a girl, we bury her. She said: A girl. I said: What is this buried alive one? He said: A daughter of mine. I said: I will buy her from you. He said: O brother of Banu Tamim, do you say, will you sell your daughter, when I have told you that I am a man from the Arabs of Mudar? I said: I am not buying her neck from you; I am buying her soul so that you will not kill her. He said: With what will you buy her? I said: These two she-camels of mine and their young. He said: Will you add this camel of yours? I said: Yes, on condition that you send a messenger with me, and when I reach my family, I will return the camel to you. So he did. When I reached my family, I returned the camel to him. Later that night, I thought to myself: This is a noble act that no one among the Arabs preceded me to, and Islam has appeared, and I have revived three hundred and sixty buried alive girls, buying each one of them with two ten-month pregnant she-camels and a camel. Do I have any reward for that? The Prophet ﷺ said: "You have its reward, since Allah has blessed you with Islam." Ubada said: The confirmation of Sa'sa'ah's statement is the saying of al-Farazdaq.

The servant will be brought until when he reaches the middle arch, it will be said to him: 'What debt do you owe?' And he recited this verse: {And they will not conceal from Allah any account} (4:42). He said: Then he will say: 'O Lord, I owe such-and-such.' It will be said to him: 'Pay your debt.' He will say: 'I have nothing, and I do not know how to pay.' It will be said: 'Take from his good deeds.' So it will continue to be taken from his good deeds until no good deed remains for him. When his good deeds are exhausted, it will be said: 'His good deeds are exhausted.' It will be said: 'Take from the evil deeds of those who have claims against him and load them upon him.' Indeed, I have been informed that men will come with good deeds like mountains, and it will continue to be taken for those who have claims against them until no good deed remains for them."

     ✧ That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to his companions: "Shall I tell you about al-Khidr?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "While he was walking one day in the market of the Children of Israel, a man who was a mukatab (a slave with a contract of manumission) saw him and said, 'Give me charity, may Allah bless you.' Al-Khidr said, 'I believe in Allah; whatever Allah wills of a matter will happen. I have nothing to give you.' The poor man said, 'I ask you by the face of Allah, why did you not give me charity? For I saw the mark of goodness in your face and hoped for blessing from you.' Al-Khidr said, 'I believe in Allah; I have nothing to give you except that you take me and sell me.' The poor man said, 'Is this possible?' He said, 'Yes, I speak the truth. You have asked me by a great matter. I will not disappoint you by the face of my Lord; sell me.' So he took him to the market and sold him for four hundred dirhams. He stayed with the buyer for a time, not using him for anything. Then he said to him, 'You bought me seeking good from me; so advise me of some work.' He said, 'I dislike to burden you, for you are an old, weak man.' He said, 'It does not burden me.' He said, 'Then get up and move these stones,' which would not be moved by fewer than six men in a day. The man went out for some need, then returned and found that he had moved the stones in an hour. He said, 'You have done well and excelled, and you were able to do what I did not think you could do.' Then a journey presented itself to the man, and he said, 'I consider you trustworthy, so be my deputy over my family with good deputation.' He said, 'Advise me of some work.' He said, 'I dislike to burden you.' He said, 'It does not burden me.' He said, 'Then make bricks for my house until I return to you.' The man went on his journey, and when he returned, he found that the building had been raised. He said, 'I ask you by the face of Allah, what is your way and what is your affair?' He said, 'You asked me by the face of Allah, and the face of Allah caused me to fall into servitude.' Al-Khidr said, 'I will tell you who I am. I am al-Khidr, of whom you have heard. A poor man asked me for charity, and I had nothing to give him. He asked me by the face of Allah, so I gave him possession of my neck, and he sold me. And I tell you that whoever is asked by the face of Allah and refuses the asker while able, he will stand on the Day of Resurrection with his skin but no flesh and no bone, rattling.' The man said, 'I believe in Allah; I have burdened you, O Prophet of Allah, and I did not know.' He said, 'No harm; you did well and kept me.' The man said, 'May my father and mother be your ransom, O Prophet of Allah; judge in my family and property as Allah shows you, or I give you the choice and free you.' He said, 'I would love for you to free me so that I may worship my Lord.' So he freed him. Al-Khidr said, 'Praise be to Allah who caused me to fall into servitude and then saved me from it.'"

     عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُدْخِلُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ» قَالَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْأَخْنَسِ السُّلَمِيُّ وَمَا هَذَا فِي أُمَّتِكَ إِلَّا كَالذُّبَابِ الْأَزْرَقِ فِي الذِّبَّانِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا مَعَ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا وَثَلَاثُ حَثَيَاتٍ»

     ✧ The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah will admit into Paradise from my Ummah seventy thousand people without being held to account." Yazeed bin Al-Akhnas As-Sulami said, "What about your Ummah other than that?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It will be the equivalent of a blue fly on a white bull." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Seventy thousand more will enter Paradise for each of those thousand, with seventy thousand three-handled swords."

     ✧ He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us after the dawn prayer and said: "I saw a vision that is true, so understand it. A man came to me, took me by the hand and made me follow him until he brought me to a rugged, tall mountain. He said to me: 'Climb it.' I said: 'I cannot.' He said: 'I will make it easy for you.' So whenever I lifted a foot, I placed it on a step until we stood on the level ground of the mountain. Then we went on, and behold, there were men and women whose cheeks were split open. I said: 'Who are these?' He said: 'These are those who say what they do not know.' Then we went on, and behold, there were men and women whose eyes and ears were nailed. I said: 'What are these?' He said: 'These are those who made their eyes see what they did not see and made their ears hear what they did not hear.' Then we went on, and behold, there were women hanging by their heels, their heads lowered, snakes biting their breasts. I said: 'What are these?' He said: 'These are those who prevent their children from their milk.' Then we went on, and behold, there were men and women hanging by their heels, their heads lowered, licking from a little water and mud. I said: 'What are these?' He said: 'These are those who fast and break their fast before the time of their fast ends.' Then we went on, and behold, there were men and women, the ugliest of appearance, the ugliest of clothing, and the most foul of odor, as if their odor were that of latrines. I said: 'What are these?' He said: 'These are the fornicators and adulteresses.' Then we went on, and behold, there were dead people, the most swollen of anything and the most foul of odor. I said: 'What are these?' He said: 'These are the dead of the disbelievers.' Then we went on, and behold, we saw smoke and heard howling. I said: 'What is this?' He said: 'This is Hell, so leave it.' Then we went on, and behold, there were men sleeping under the shade of trees. I said: 'What are these?' He said: 'The dead of the Muslims.' Then we went on, and behold, there were boys and girls playing between two rivers. I said: 'What are these?' He said: 'The offspring of the believers.' Then we went on, and behold, there were men, the most beautiful of face, the most beautiful of clothing, and the most pleasant of odor, as if their faces were paper. I said: 'What are these?' He said: 'These are the truthful ones, the martyrs, and the righteous.' Then we went on, and behold, there were three people drinking wine and singing. I said: 'What are these?' He said: 'That is Zayd b. Harithah, Ja'far, and Ibn Rawahah.' I turned toward them, and they said: 'You have attained, you have attained.' Then I raised my head, and behold, there were three people under the Throne. I said: 'What are these?' He said: 'That is your father Ibrahim, Musa, and 'Isa, and they are waiting for you, may Allah bless them all.'"

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The last man to enter the Garden is a man who flips over on the bridge, back to belly, like a boy whom his father beats while he flees from him, his deeds unable to make him proceed. He says: 'O Lord, let me reach the Garden and save me from the Fire.' Allah, exalted is He, reveals to him: 'My servant, if I save you from the Fire and admit you to the Garden, will you confess to Me your sins and your errors?' The servant says: 'Yes, O Lord, by Your might and majesty, if You save me from the Fire, I will confess to You my sins and my errors.' He crosses the bridge, and the servant says within himself, between himself and himself: 'If I confess my sins and my errors to Him, He will send me back to the Fire.' Then Allah reveals to him: 'My servant, confess to Me your sins and your errors, and I will forgive them for you and admit you to the Garden.' The servant says: 'No, by Your might, I have never committed a sin and never made an error.' So Allah reveals to him: 'My servant, I have a witness against you.' The servant turns right and left and sees no one, and he says: 'O Lord, show me Your witness.' So Allah makes his skin speak about the small sins. When the servant sees that, he says: 'O Lord, by Your might, I have the great hidden sins.' So Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, reveals to him: 'My servant, I know them better than you. Confess them to Me, and I will forgive them for you and admit you to the Garden.' So the servant confesses his sins and enters the Garden." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed until his molars showed, saying: "This is the lowest of the people of the Garden in rank, so how about the one above him?"

The Bedouin said: "I am here, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Woe to you! What makes you feel safe that I should say yes? By Allah, if I said yes, it would become obligatory, and if it became obligatory, you would abandon it, and if you abandoned it, you would disbelieve. Indeed, it was only the leaders of hardship who destroyed those before you. By Allah, if I made lawful for you everything on earth and forbade for you the like of a camel's hoof, you would fall into it."
