   جَاءَ قَيْسُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنِّي وَأَدَتُ ثَمَانِيَ بَنَاتٍ لِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ قَالَ «أَعْتِقْ عَنْ كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا رَقَبَةً» قُلْتُ إِنِّي صَاحِبُ إِبِلٍ قَالَ «اهْدِ إِنْ شِئْتَ عَنْ كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ بَدَنَةً»

   ✧ Qays b. ʿĀṣim came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: I buried alive eight daughters of mine in the Jāhiliyyah. He said: "Free a slave for each one of them." I said: I am a camel owner. He said: "Then offer a camel for each one of them, if you wish."

   أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنِ الْحِلْفِ فَقَالَ «مَا كَانَ مِنْ حِلْفٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَتَمَسَّكُوا بِهِ وَلَا حِلْفَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ»

   ✧ He asked the Prophet ﷺ about oaths of alliance. He said: "Whatever oath of alliance existed in the Jāhiliyyah, hold fast to it, but there is no oath of alliance in Islam."

   «بَنِيَّ اتَّقُوا اللهَ وَسَوِّدُوا أَكْبَرَكُمْ فَإِنَّ الْقَوْمَ إِذَا سَوَّدُوا أَكْبَرَهُمْ خُلِّفُوا أَبَاهُمْ وَإِذَا سَوَّدُوا أَصْغَرَهُمْ أَزْرِي بِهِم فِي أَكِفَّائِكُمْ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِاصْطِنَاعِ الْمَالِ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْبَهَةٌ لِلْكَرَمِ وَيُسْتَغْنَى بِهِ عَنِ اللَّئِيمِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَمَسْأَلَةَ النَّاسِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ آخِرِ كَسْبِ الْمَرْءِ وَإِذَا مُتُّ فَلَا تَنُوحُوا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يُنَحْ عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا مُتُّ فَادْفِنُونِي بِأَرْضٍ لَا يَشْعُرُ بِدَفْنِي بَكْرُ بْنُ وَائِلٍ فَإِنِّي كُنْتُ أُغَاوِلُهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ»

   ✧ “My sons, fear Allah and make your eldest your leader, for when a people make their eldest their leader they succeed their father, but when they make their youngest their leader he is disparaged among your peers. You must acquire wealth, for it is a means of honor for the generous and by it one is made independent of the vile. Beware of begging from people, for it is the last of a man’s earnings. When I die, do not wail over me, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not wailed over. When I die, bury me in a land where Bakr b. Wa’il will not know of my burial, for I used to raid them in the Jahiliyyah.”

   قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «هَذَا سَيِّدُ أَهْلِ الْعَرَبِ» قَالَ فَلَمَّا نَزَلْنَا أَتَيْتُهُ فَجَعَلْتُ أُحَدِّثُهُ قَالَ قُلْتٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الْمَالُ الَّذِي لَا يَكُونُ عَلَيَّ فِيهِ تَبِعَةٌ مِنْ ضَيْفٍ ضَافَنِي وَعِيَالٍ كَثُرُوا قَالَ «نِعْمَ الْمَالُ الْأَرْبَعُونَ وَالْأَكْثَرُ السِّتُّونَ وَوَيْلٌ لِأَصْحَابِ الْمِائَتَيْنِ إِلَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى فِي رِسْلِهَا وَنَجْدَتِهَا وَأَفْقَرَ ظَهْرًا وَنَحَرَ سَمِينَهَا فَأَطْعَمَ الْقَانِعَ وَالْمُعْتَرَّ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَا أَكْرَمَ هَذِهِ الْأَخْلَاقَ وَأَحْسَنَهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَا يَحِلُّ بِالْوَادِي الَّذِي أَكُونُ فِيهِ لِكَثْرَةِ إِبِلِي قَالَ «فَكَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ؟» قُلْتُ تَغْدُو الْإِبِلُ وَيَغْدُو النَّاسُ فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَخَذَ بِرَأْسِ بَعِيرٍ فَذَهَبَ بِهِ فَقَالَ «مَا تَصْنَعُ بِإِفْقَارِ الظَّهْرِ؟» قُلْتُ إِنِّي لَا أُفْقِرُ الصَّغِيرَ وَلَا النَّابَ المُدْبِرَةَ قَالَ «فَمَالُكَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ أَمْ مَالُ مَوَالِيكَ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ مَالِي أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ مَالِ مَوَالِيَّ قَالَ «فَإِنَّ لَكَ مِنْ مَالِكَ مَا أَكَلْتَ فَأَفْنَيْتَ أَو لَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ أَو أَعْطَيْتَ فَأَمْضَيْتَ وَإِلَّا فَلُمُّوا إِلَيْكَ» فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ لَئِنْ بَقِيَتُ لَأَفْنِيَنَّ عَدَدَهَا قَالَ الْحَسَنُ فَفَعَلَ وَاللهِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْ قَيْسًا الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ يَا بَنِيَّ خُذُوا عَنِّي لَا أَجِدُ أَنْصَحَ لَكُمْ مِنِّي إِذَا أَنَا مُتُّ فَسَوِّدُوا كِبَارَكُمْ وَلَا تُسَوِّدُوا صِغَارَكُمْ فَيَسْتَسْفِهَكُمُ النَّاسُ فَيَهُونُوا عَلَيْكُمْ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِاسْتِصْلَاحِ الْمَالِ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْبَهَةُ الْكَرِيمِ وَيُسْتَغْنَى بِهِ عَنِ اللَّئِيمِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْمَسْأَلَةَ فَإِنَّهَا آخِرُ كَسْبِ الْمَرْءِ إِنَّ أَحَدًا لَمْ يَسْأَلْ إِلَّا تَرَكَ كَسْبَهُ وَإِذَا مُتُّ فَلَا تَنُوحُوا عَلَيَّ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «يَنْهَى عَنِ النِّيَاحَةِ» وَكَفِّنُونِي فِي ثِيَابِي الَّتِي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي فِيهَا وَأَصُومُ وَإِذَا دَفَنْتُمُونِي فَلَا تَدْفِنُونِي فِي مَوْضِعٍ يَطَّلِعُ عَلَيَّ أَحَدٌ فَإِنَّهٌ قَدْ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ بَكْرِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ خَمَاشَاتٌ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَخَافُ أَنْ يَنْبُشُونِي فَيَصْنَعُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ مَا يَذْهَبُ فِيهِ دِينُكُمْ وَدُنْيَاكُمْ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ نَصَحَ لَهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ وَنَصَحَ لَهُمْ فِي الْمَمَاتِ

   ✧ I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when he saw me I heard him say, “This is the chief of the Arabs.” When we dismounted, I went to him and began to speak with him. I said, “O Messenger of Allah, what wealth is there upon which I will bear no blame, from a guest who seeks my hospitality and from dependents who have become numerous?” He said, “Excellent wealth is forty, and the most is sixty. Woe to the owners of two hundred, except the one who gives from its milk and its strength, lends its back for riding, and slaughters its fat ones and feeds the contented and the beggar.” I said, “O Prophet of Allah, how noble and beautiful are these qualities! O Messenger of Allah, no valley in which I am can accommodate the abundance of my camels.” He said, “How do you manage?” I said, “The camels go out in the morning and the people go out, and whoever wishes takes hold of a camel’s head and goes off with it.” He said, “What do you do about lending the backs for riding?” I said, “I do not lend out the young nor the old toothless one that has turned away.” He said, “Is your wealth dearer to you or the wealth of your clients?” I said, “My own wealth is dearer to me than the wealth of my clients.” He said, “You shall have from your wealth what you ate and consumed, or wore and wore out, or gave away and sent forth; otherwise it is gathered against you.” I said, “By Allah, if I remain alive I will certainly exhaust its number.” Al-Hasan said, “By Allah, he did so. When death came to Qays, he said, ‘O my sons, take from me, for I find no one more sincere to you than myself. When I die, make your elders your leaders and do not make your young ones your leaders, lest people deem you foolish and then hold you in contempt. You must set right your wealth, for it is a means of honor for the generous and by it one is made independent of the vile. Beware of begging, for it is the last of a man’s earnings; no one begs except that he abandons his earning. When I die, do not wail over me, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbidding wailing. Shroud me in the clothes in which I used to pray and fast. When you bury me, do not bury me in a place where anyone can see me, for there were scratches between me and Bakr b. Wa’il in the Jahiliyyah, and I fear that they will exhume me and then do something by which your religion and your worldly life would be lost.’” Al-Hasan, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “He advised them in life and advised them in death.”

   ✧ “O my sons, when I die, make your eldest your leader so that you may succeed your fathers, and do not make your youngest your leader, for that would disparage you among your allies. Do not appoint a wailing woman over me, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbidding wailing. You must set right your wealth, for it is a means of honor for the generous and by it one is made independent of the vile. Do not give away the necks of the camels except to those entitled to them, and do not withhold them from what is due to them. Beware of every root of evil; whatever pleases you one day, what displeases you is more. Beware of the sons of your enemies, for they are enemies to you on the path of their fathers. When I die, bury me in a place where this clan of Bakr b. Wa’il cannot see me, for there were scratches between me and them in the Jahiliyyah, and I fear that they will exhume me and thereby corrupt their worldly life and corrupt your hereafter.’ Then he called for his quiver and ordered his eldest son, whose name was ‘Ali, saying, ‘Take out an arrow from my quiver.’ He took it out, and he said, ‘Break it,’ so he broke it. Then he said, ‘Take out two arrows,’ and he took them out, and he said, ‘Break them,’ so he broke them. Then he said, ‘Take out three arrows,’ and he took them out, and he said, ‘Break them,’ so he broke them. Then he said, ‘Take out thirty arrows,’ and he took them out, and he said, ‘Bind them with a bowstring,’ so he bound them. Then he said, ‘Break them,’ but he could not break them. He said, ‘O my sons, thus are you in unity, and thus are you in division.’ Then he began to recite poetry.”

   ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was born in the Year of the Elephant, and between the Fijar and the Elephant were twenty years. He said: They named it the Fijar because they acted wickedly and made lawful things they had forbidden. Between the Fijar and the building of the Kaaba were fifteen years, and between the building of the Kaaba and the sending of the Prophet ﷺ were five years. So our Prophet ﷺ was sent when he was forty years old.

    ✧ He said: O Messenger of Allah, in how many days should I recite the Quran? He said, “In fifteen.” He said, “I find myself stronger than that.” He said, “In a week.” He said, “I find myself stronger than that.” He continued reciting it like that for a time until he grew old and used to bandage his eyes. Then he reverted and used to recite it in fifteen days. He said, “Would that I had accepted the first concession of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.”

When I said yes, he prayed Zuhr. And he would say: This is what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do. The Prophet ﷺ used to pray 'Asr while the sun was white and lively. The Prophet ﷺ used to pray Maghrib while a fasting person would wonder whether to break his fast. And the Prophet ﷺ used to pray Fajr when light spread over the sky.

The Prophet ﷺ missed him and said, “Why do I not see so-and-so?” They said, “O Messenger of God, his young son whom you saw has died, and that has kept him from attending the circle.” The Prophet ﷺ met him and asked about him, and was told that he had died. He consoled him, then said, “O so-and-so, which would you prefer: to enjoy him for your entire life, or that tomorrow you will not come to any gate of the gates of Paradise except that you find him already there ahead of you, opening it for you?” He said, “O Prophet of God, that he precedes me to the gates of Paradise and opens them for me is dearer to me.” He said, “That is yours.” A man from the Ansar stood up and said, “O Messenger of God, may God make me your ransom, is this for so-and-so specifically, or for every Muslim whose child has died as a forerunner?” He said, “Rather, for every Muslim whose child has died as a forerunner, that will be his.”

When morning came, the shepherd came running, saying, “Good news! Good news! The wolf came and is now bound before the idol.” I went with them, and they kissed it and prostrated to it, saying, “This is what you should do.” Then I went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him this story. He said, “Satan toyed with them.”

    ✧ Qabīṣah b. Mukhāriq al-Hilālī came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and greeted him. He returned the greeting, welcomed him, then said to him: “What has brought you, O Qabīṣah?” He said: “O Messenger of God, my age has advanced, my skin has become thin, my strength has weakened, I have become a burden on my family, and I am unable to do things I used to do. Teach me words through which God may benefit me, and be brief.” He ﷺ said: “O Qabīṣah, say three times when you pray the morning prayer: ‘Glory be to God, and with His praise; glory be to God, the Magnificent, and with His praise; and there is no might nor power except with God.’ For if you say that, you will be safe, by God’s permission, from blindness, leprosy, and vitiligo. And say: ‘O God, guide me from Yourself, pour upon me from Your bounty, spread over me from Your mercy, and send down upon me from Your blessings.’” The Messenger of God ﷺ began to say them while Qabīṣah counted them on his fingers.

     كَانَتْ لَيْلَةٌ شَدِيدَةُ الظُّلْمَةِ وَالْمَطَرِ فَقُلْتُ لَوْ أَنِّي اغْتَنَمْتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ شُهُودَ الْعَتَمَةِ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَفَعَلْتُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَبْصَرَنِي وَمَعَهُ عُرْجُونٌ يَمْشِي عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «مَا لَكَ يَا قَتَادَةُ هَهُنَا هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ؟» قُلْتُ اغْتَنَمْتُ شُهُودَ الصَّلَاةِ مَعَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهُ فَأَعْطَانِيَ الْعُرْجُونَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ خَلْفَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ فَاذْهَبْ بِهَذَا الْعُرْجُونِ فَأَمْسَكْ بِهِ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ بَيْتَكَ فَخُذْهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْبَيْتِ فَاضْرِبْهُ بِالْعُرْجُونِ» فَخَرَجْتُ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَضَاءَ الْعُرْجُونُ مِثْلَ الشَّمْعَةِ نُورًا فَاسْتَضَأْتُ بِهِ فَأَتَيْتُ أَهْلِي فَوَجَدْتُهُمْ رُقُودًا فَنَظَرْتُ فِي الزَّاوِيَةِ فَإِذَا فِيهَا قُنْفُذٌ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أَضْرِبُهُ بِالْعُرْجُونِ حَتَّى خَرَجَ

     ✧ It was a night of intense darkness and rain. I thought, if only I could take advantage of this night by attending ʿIshāʾ with the Prophet ﷺ. So I did. When the Prophet ﷺ finished, he saw me, and he had a palm branch on which he leaned while walking. He said, "What brings you here at this hour, O Qatādah?" I said, "I took the opportunity to attend the prayer with you, O Messenger of Allah." He gave me the palm branch and said, "Indeed, Satan has taken your place with your family. Go with this palm branch, take hold of it until you reach your house, then take it from behind the house and strike him with the palm branch." I left the mosque, and the palm branch lit up like a candle with light. I used it for light and came to my family, and I found them asleep. I looked in the corner, and there was a hedgehog in it. I kept striking it with the palm branch until it went out.

Indeed, I have made it a prison for my allies and a paradise for my enemies.'"

     ✧ A bow was given to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he handed it to me on the day of Uhud. I shot with it in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until it broke at its string notch. I remained at my post in front of the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, facing the arrows with my face. Whenever an arrow headed toward the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I tilted my head to shield the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ without shooting any arrow myself. The last of them was an arrow from which my eyeball protruded onto my cheek. The ranks dispersed, and I took my eyeball in my hand and hastened with it in my hand to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw it in my hand, his eyes shed tears, and he said: "O Allah, Qatādah has shielded the face of Your Prophet with his face, so make it the best of his two eyes and the sharpest in sight." So it became the best of his two eyes and the sharpest in sight.

Abū Dujānah stood up, tied a red band around his eyes, raised his eyebrows over his eyes out of pride, then walked before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with the sword.

I replied, "I wanted to be comforted by you instead of my parents." He said, "Take this staff and use it as a walking stick, for it will light up ten steps in front of you and ten steps behind you." Then he said, "When you enter your home, strike it on the ground like the sturdiest stone on a person's chest, as that will repel the devil." So, I left and it illuminated my way, then I struck it on the ground as the sturdiest stone until the devil left my house.
