   أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ إِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَنْتَظِرُونَ أَمْرَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ حُنَيْنٍ قَاتَلَ فَأَبْلَى فَأَخْبَرُوا بِذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ» قَالَ فَجُرِحَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَخَذَ سَهْمًا مِنْ كِنَانَتِهِ فَنَحَرَ نَفْسَهُ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ صَدَقَ اللهُ حَدِيثَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «قُمْ يَا بِلَالُ فَنَادِ أَنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ وَأَنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَيُؤَيِّدُ الدِّينَ بِالرَّجُلِ الْفَاجِرِ»

   ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said about a man, “He is from the people of the Fire.” People kept waiting to see what would happen to him until the day of Hunayn, when he fought and displayed great valor. They informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ of that, and he said, “He is from the people of the Fire.” Then the man was wounded, and he took an arrow from his quiver and slit his own throat. They said, “O Messenger of Allah, Allah has confirmed your words.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Arise, Bilal, and announce that none enters Paradise except a believer, and that Allah ﷻ may support this religion even through a wicked man.”

   عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيمَا أَحْسَبُ فِي قَوْلِهِ {سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْنَا أَجَزِعْنَا أَمْ صَبَرْنَا مَا لَنَا مِنْ مَحِيصٍ} قَالَ يَقُولُ أَهْلُ النَّارِ هَلُمُّوا فَلْنَصْبِرْ قَالَ فَصَبَرُوا خَمْسَ مِائَةِ عَامٍ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ذَلِكَ لَا يَنْفَعُهُمْ قَالُوا هَلُمُّوا فَلْنَجْزَعْ قَالَ فَيَبْكُونَ خَمْسَمِائَةِ عَامٍ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَنْفَعُهُمْ قَالُوا {سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْنَا أَجَزِعْنَا أَمْ صَبَرْنَا مَا لَنَا مِنْ مَحِيصٍ}

   ✧ From his father, who raised it to the Prophet ﷺ as I think, regarding His saying, “It is the same for us whether we grieve or are patient; we have no escape.” He said: The people of the Fire say, “Come, let us be patient.” So they are patient for five hundred years. When they see that it does not benefit them, they say, “Come, let us grieve.” They then weep for five hundred years. When they see that it does not benefit them, they say, “It is the same for us whether we grieve or are patient; we have no escape.”

Then I said, 'I will work hard on my preparations tomorrow, and the people are still near—I will catch up with them.' Evening came and I had not finished. When the third day came, I began my preparations, evening came and I had not finished. I said, 'How far! The people have traveled for three days.' So I stayed behind. When the Messenger of God ﷺ returned, people began making excuses to him. I came and stood before him and said, 'I was never in an expedition in which I had more ease in mounts and provisions than in this one.' The Messenger of God ﷺ turned away from me and commanded the people not to speak to us, and commanded our women to stay away from us. One day I climbed over a wall and found Jabir b. Abdullah there. I said, 'O Jabir, I adjure you by God: do you know that I ever betrayed God and His Messenger even for a single day?' He remained silent and would not speak to me. Then one day, while I was in that state, I heard a man on the hill path calling, 'Ka'b! Ka'b!' He approached me and said, 'Give good news to Ka'b.'

    ✧ A bedouin man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'Tell me of a deed that will bring me near to Paradise and keep me far from the Fire.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Are these two your greatest concerns?' He said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Speak the truth and give from your surplus.' He said, 'By Allah, I cannot speak the truth at every moment, and I cannot give from the surplus of my wealth.' He said, 'Feed people and spread peace.' He said, 'This is also difficult.' He said, 'Do you have camels?' He said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Then look to a camel from your camels and a water skin, then go to a household who do not drink water except every other day, and give them water. Perhaps you will not lose your camel or tear your water skin until Paradise becomes due for you.' The bedouin went off saying 'Allahu Akbar,' and neither his water skin was torn nor his camel lost until he was killed as a martyr.

    ✧ “O Messenger of God,” and he inclined toward him, then said, “Where is the year of the army of ‘Ithran?” The Prophet ﷺ recognized that army; I was in that army. Tariq b. al-Muraqqa’ said, “Who will give me a spear for its reward?” I said, “And what is its reward?” He said, “The first daughter born to me, I will marry her to him.” So I gave him my spear. Then it slipped from him somewhat. Later I learned that a daughter had been born to him and had reached maturity. I said, “Give me my wife in marriage.” He refused except with a dowry. The Prophet ﷺ said, “How old is she?” He said, “She has seen gray hair.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “It is better for you that you neither sin nor cause him to sin. Leave her.”

رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ فَقَدِمَ فَغَدَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي النَّاسِ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَكَانَ قَلَّمَا نَظَرَ إِلَيَّ دَعَانِي فَقَالَ «هَلُمَّ يَا كَعْبُ مَا خَلْفَكَ عَنِّي؟» وَتَبَسَّمَ تَبَسُّمَ الْمُغْضَبِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَا عُذْرَ لِي مَا كُنْتُ قَطُّ أَقْوَى وَلَا أَيْسَرَ مِنِّي حِينَ تَخَلَّفْتُ عَنْكَ وَقَدْ جَاءَ الْمُخَلَّفُونَ يَحْلِفُونَ فَيَقْبَلُ مِنْهُمْ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ وَيَكِلُ سَرَائِرَهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ فَلَمَّا صَدَقَهُ قَالَ «أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ صَدَقَ فَقُمْ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ اللهُ فِيكَ مَا هُوَ قَاضٍ» فَقُمْتُ فَقَامَ

    ✧ Ka'b said: I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of God ﷺ on the night of al-'Aqabah, when we pledged allegiance to him upon Islam, and I did not witness Badr. I would not love to have in its place a battle like Badr, even though it was more talked about among the people than it. It was an expedition for which God did not rebuke anyone who stayed behind from it. The Messenger of God ﷺ had set out only intending the caravan, until God brought him and his enemy together without an appointment. When the Messenger of God ﷺ intended to raid in a direction, we would mislead others about it, until it was the expedition of Tabuk, which the Messenger of God ﷺ undertook—in the hadith of Zayd—then he mentioned the hadith.

     ✧ Ka'b b. al-Ashraf, the Jew, was a poet. He used to satirize the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions and incite the disbelievers of Quraysh against them in his poetry. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madinah, its people were a mixture: among them were Muslims united by the call of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; among them were polytheists who worshipped idols; among them were Jews; and among them were people of the forts and strongholds, allies of the two tribes, Aws and Khazraj. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived, he wanted to reform them and make peace with them. A man might be a Muslim while his father was a polytheist, and a man might be a Muslim while his brother was a polytheist. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived, the polytheists and Jews of Madinah used to harm the Prophet ﷺ and his companions severely. Allah commanded His Prophet ﷺ and the Muslims to bear that patiently and to pardon them. Concerning them Allah, exalted be He, revealed: 'You will surely hear from those who were given the Book before you and from those who associate others with Allah much abuse' up to His saying 'of matters requiring resolve.' And concerning them Allah, exalted be He, revealed: 'Many of the People of the Book wish they could turn you back to disbelief after your faith' up to His saying 'until Allah brings His command.' When Ka'b b. al-Ashraf refused to desist from harming the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Muslims, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered Sa'd b. Mu'adh, Muhammad b. Maslamah al-Ansari, then al-Harithi, Abu 'Isa b. Habr al-Ansari, and al-Harith, the nephew of Sa'd b. Mu'adh—in a group of five men. They came to him in the evening at his gathering place in al-'Awali. When Ka'b b. al-Ashraf saw them, he sensed something wrong and was alarmed by them. He said to them, 'What has brought you?' They said, 'A need we have brought to you.' He said, 'Let some of you come near me and tell me about it.' Some of them came near him and said, 'We have come to you to sell you some of our coats of mail so that we might use their price.' He said, 'By Allah, if you do that, you have been in hardship since this man came among you.' He promised them that they should come to him at night when people had dispersed. So they came to him, and one of them called out to him. He got up to go out to them. His wife said, 'They have not come to you at this hour with anything you will like.' He said, 'Yes, they have told me their story.' So he went out to them. Muhammad b. Maslamah embraced him and said to his companions, 'Do not let him get away from you, even if you kill me and him together.' One of them stabbed him with a sword in his side. When they killed him, the Jews and those polytheists with them were alarmed. They came to the Prophet ﷺ in the morning and said, 'Our companion was attacked last night—he was one of our chiefs—and he was killed treacherously.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ reminded them of what he used to say in his poetry and how he used to harm them with it. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ invited them to write a document between him and them and the Muslims at large containing the general affairs of the people, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote it.

     أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ رَأَى مَقْتَلَ حَمْزَةَ؟» قَالَ رَجُلٌ أَعَزَّكَ اللهُ أَنَا رَأَيْتُ مَقْتَلَهُ فَانْطَلَقَ فَوَقَفَ عَلَى حَمْزَةَ فَرَآهُ قَدْ شُقَّ بَطْنُهُ وَقَدْ مُثِّلَ بِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مُثِّلَ بِهِ فَكَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ وَوَقَفَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيِ الْقَتْلَى وَقَالَ «أَنَا لِشَهِيدٌ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ لِفُّوهُمْ فِي دِمَائِهِمْ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مَجْرُوحٌ يُجْرَحُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ إِلَّا جَاءَ جُرْحُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَدْمَى لَوْنُهُ لَوْنُ الدَّمِ وَرِيحُهُ رِيحُ الْمِسْكِ قَدِمُوا أَكْثَرَ الْقَوْمِ قُرْآنًا فَاجْعَلُوهُ فِي اللَّحْدِ»

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Who saw the place where Hamzah was killed?” A man said, “May Allah honor you, I saw the place where he was killed.” So he went and stood over Hamzah and saw that his belly had been split open and he had been mutilated. He said, “O Messenger of Allah, he has been mutilated.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked to look at him, and he stood among the slain and said, “I am a witness over these. Wrap them in their blood, for there is no one wounded in the way of Allah but that his wound will come on the Day of Resurrection bleeding, its color the color of blood and its fragrance the fragrance of musk. Put forward the one who had memorized the most Qur’an and place him first in the grave niche.”

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out in intense heat and ordered an expedition to Tabuk. At that time I believed in Allah and His Messenger, but my soul yearned for shade and fresh dates, and I was a strong young man. My soul said to me, “You have two camels; you will find an excuse to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” And my soul said to me, “Stay behind from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” So I was in that state, and the Prophet ﷺ departed in the morning. I went to the market intending to equip myself, but it was as if my hands were held back. The Prophet ﷺ traveled until when he was about two farsakhs from Madinah, he stopped. Then there was a rider catching up with him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Be Abu Khaythamah.” And it was Abu Khaythamah. He said: In Madinah there were eighty-seven hypocrites, along with me, Hilal b. Umayyah, and Murarah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked Abu Khaythamah, “What has Ka‘b b. Malik done?” He said, “I left him walking in the alleys of Madinah.” Mu‘adh said, “By Allah, as far as I know he loves Allah and His Messenger.” He said: A group of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in our quarter, and some of them said, “By Allah, they have fuller bellies than us, more fearful at the meeting, and weaker hearts.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called ‘Ammar b. Yasir and said, “Go to those people and ask them, ‘What did you mock?’ If you ask them, they will say, ‘We were only engaging in idle talk and playing.’” So he said to them, “You have burned. May Allah burn you.” Then it was revealed: “And if you ask them, they will surely say, ‘We were only engaging in idle talk and playing.’ Say, ‘Is it Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?’” He said: A man who was not one of them but had heard them came and clung to the Prophet’s foot, saying, “O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I did not incline toward them, but I heard what they said.” The Prophet ﷺ moved on, and the man kept clinging to him and offering excuses and walking with him until blood flowed from his heels. The Prophet ﷺ returned from his expedition, and Hilal b. Umayyah and Murarah b. Rabi‘ah came to him, and he seated us in a corner. It was said to Ka‘b b. Malik, “By Allah, he is not pleased with your two companions, so consider what excuse you will make.” I said, “I will seek help for what I did through lying, but I find nothing better than truthfulness.” So I went to him and said, “Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.” He said, “And upon you. What kept you back, O Ka‘b?” I said, “By Allah, I did not stay behind out of weakness or need, but it was a trial.” He said, “Sit with your two companions.” Then he said to his Companions, “Do not sit with these men, do not speak to them, and do not trade with them.” He sent word to their wives, “Do not let them approach you.” The wife of Hilal b. Umayyah sent word to the Prophet ﷺ that Hilal was an old man, and asked permission to give him something without speaking to him. He granted her permission. The wife of Ka‘b sent word that the wife of Hilal b. Umayyah had asked permission to hand him something, and she asked permission regarding me. I said, “With what will you seek permission? Will you say that I am an old man? By Allah, I am a young man. Will you say that I am ill? By Allah, I am healthy.” So he sent word to her not to do that. Umm Salamah was an excellent intercessor when it was her night. She said, “O Messenger of Allah, will you speak to Hilal b. Umayyah concerning us?” Then one night he said, “Do you know that Allah has accepted the repentance of the three?” She said, “Shall I send to their families and give them the good news?” He said, “Then the people will not leave us to sleep this night, but wait until morning.” The Prophet ﷺ arose, prayed the morning prayer, then turned to his Companions and said, “Do you know that Allah has accepted the repentance of the three?” Two men raced to Ka‘b b. Malik: one rode a horse and took the valley bottom, and one went on foot until he climbed the mountain. He said, “O Ka‘b b. Malik, do you know that Allah has accepted your repentance?” I fell down in prostration, and when he drew near I threw my cloak to him. Then I went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, “Is it from you or from Allah?” He said, “From Allah ﷻ.”

     ✧ We set out for the pilgrimage in which we pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at al-‘Aqabah, along with the polytheists of our people. With us was al-Bara’ b. Ma‘rur, our elder and our leader. When we reached the outskirts of al-Bayda’, he said, “O people, do you know that I have formed an opinion, and I do not know whether you will agree with me?” We said, “What is it, O Abu al-Bashar?” He said, “I think I should pray toward this structure and not turn my back to it.” We said, “No, by Allah, do not do that. We have heard that our Prophet ﷺ prays only toward Syria.” He said, “By Allah, I will pray toward it.” Whenever prayer time came, he faced the Ka‘bah, and we faced Syria, until we arrived in Makkah. Al-Bara’ b. Ma‘rur said to me, “O son of my brother, come with me to the Messenger of Allah so that we may ask him about what we did during this journey, for I have felt uneasy about your opposing me.” We went out to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and we met a man in al-Abtah. We said to him, “Can you direct us to Muhammad b. ‘Abd Allah b. ‘Abd al-Muttalib?” He said, “Do you know him if you see him?” We said, “No, by Allah, we do not know him, and we have never seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” He said, “Do you know al-‘Abbas b. ‘Abd al-Muttalib?” We said, “Yes, we know him. He used to come to us for trade.” He said, “When you enter the mosque, look for al-‘Abbas, for he is the man who is with him.” We entered the mosque, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and al-‘Abbas were sitting in a corner of the mosque. We greeted and sat down. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Do you know these two men?” When he turned, he said, “Yes, this is al-Bara’ b. Ma‘rur, the leader of his people, and this is Ka‘b b. Malik.” By Allah, I will never forget the words of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: “The poet?” He said, “Yes.” Al-Bara’ b. Ma‘rur said to him, “O Messenger of Allah, I formed an opinion during this journey of mine, and I wanted to ask you about it so that you may inform me about what I did.” He said, “And what is that?” He said, “I decided not to turn my back to this structure, so I prayed toward it.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “You were upon a qiblah; if only you had remained patient upon it.” So he returned to the qiblah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

     خَرَجْنَا فِي الْحِجَّةِ الَّتِي بَايَعْنَا بِهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ الْعَقَبَةَ مَعَ مُشْرِكِي قَوْمِنَا وَمَعَنَا الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَعْرُورٍ كَبِيرُنَا وَسَيِّدُنَا حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِظَاهِرِ الْبَيْدَاءِ قَالَ يَا هَؤُلَاءِ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَأَيًا مَا أَدْرِي أَتُوَافِقُونِي عَلَيْهِ أَمْ لَا؟ قُلْنَا مَا هُوَ يَا أَبَا الْبَشَرِ؟ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَنِّي أُصَلِّي إِلَى هَذِهِ الْبَنِيَّةِ وَلَا أَجْعَلُهَا مِنِّي بِظَهْرٍ قُلْنَا لَا وَاللهِ لَا تَفْعَلُ مَا بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ نَبِيَّنَا ﷺ لَا يُصَلِّي إِلَّا إِلَى الشَّامِ قَالَ فَإِنِّي وَاللهِ لِمُصَلٍّ إِلَيْهَا وَكَانَ إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ وَتَوَجَّهْنَا إِلَى الشَّامِ حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ فَقَالَ لِي الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَعْرُورٍ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي انْطَلَقْ بِنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ حَتَّى نَسْأَلَهُ عَمَّا صَنَعْنَا فِي سَفَرِنَا هَذَا فَلَقَدْ وَجَدْتُ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْهُ بِخِلَافِكُمْ إِيَّايَ فَخَرَجْنَا نَسْأَلُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَقِيَنَا رَجُلٌ بِالْأَبْطَحِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ تَدُلُّنَا عَلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ وَهَلْ تَعْرِفَانِهِ إِذَا رَأْيُتَمَاهُ؟ قُلْنَا لَا وَاللهِ مَا نَعْرِفُهُ وَلَمْ نَكُنْ رَأَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَعْرَفَانِ الْعَبَّاسَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ؟ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ وَقَدْ كُنَّا نَعْرِفُهُ كَانَ يَخْتَلِفُ إِلَيْنَا بِالتِّجَارَةِ قَالَ فَإِذَا دَخَلْتُمَا الْمَسْجِدَ فَانْظُرَا الْعَبَّاسَ فَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي مَعَهُ فَدَخَلْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالْعَبَّاسُ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ جَالِسَانِ فَسَلَّمْنَا وَجَلَسْنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هَلْ تَعْرِفُ هَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ؟» فَلَمَّا انْفَتَلَ قَالَ نَعَمْ هَذَا الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَعْرُورٍ سَيِّدُ قَوْمِهِ وَهَذَا كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَوَاللهِ مَا أَنْسَى قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ «الشَّاعِرَ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَعْرُورٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ رَأَيْتُ فِي سَفَرِي هَذَا رَأَيًا قَدْ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْهُ لَتُخْبِرَنِّي عَمَّا صَنَعْتُ فِيهِ قَالَ «وَمَا ذَلِكَ؟» قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَنْ لَا أَجْعَلَ هَذِهِ الْبَنِيَّةَ مِنِّي بِظَهْرٍ فَصَلَّيْتُ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «قَدْ كُنْتَ عَلَى قِبْلَةٍ لَوْ صَبَرْتَ إِلَيْهَا» فَرَجَعَ إِلَى قِبْلَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَهْلُهُ يَقُولُونَ قَدْ مَاتَ عَلَيْهَا وَنَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ قَدْ رَجَعَ إِلَى قِبْلَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ فَصَلَّى مَعَنَا إِلَى الشَّامِ

     ✧ We set out for the pilgrimage in which we pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at al-‘Aqabah, along with the polytheists of our people. With us was al-Bara’ b. Ma‘rur, our elder and our leader. When we reached the outskirts of al-Bayda’, he said, “O people, do you know that I have formed an opinion, and I do not know whether you will agree with me?” We said, “What is it, O Abu al-Bashar?” He said, “I think I should pray toward this structure and not turn my back to it.” We said, “No, by Allah, do not do that. We have heard that our Prophet ﷺ prays only toward Syria.” He said, “By Allah, I will pray toward it.” Whenever prayer time came, he faced the Ka‘bah, and we faced Syria, until we arrived in Makkah. Al-Bara’ b. Ma‘rur said to me, “O son of my brother, come with me to the Messenger of Allah so that we may ask him about what we did during this journey, for I have felt uneasy about your opposing me.” We went out to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and we met a man in al-Abtah. We said to him, “Can you direct us to Muhammad b. ‘Abd Allah b. ‘Abd al-Muttalib?” He said, “Do you know him if you see him?” We said, “No, by Allah, we do not know him, and we have never seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” He said, “Do you know al-‘Abbas b. ‘Abd al-Muttalib?” We said, “Yes, we know him. He used to come to us for trade.” He said, “When you enter the mosque, look for al-‘Abbas, for he is the man who is with him.” We entered the mosque, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and al-‘Abbas were sitting in a corner of the mosque. We greeted and sat down. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Do you know these two men?” When he turned, he said, “Yes, this is al-Bara’ b. Ma‘rur, the leader of his people, and this is Ka‘b b. Malik.” By Allah, I will never forget the words of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: “The poet?” He said, “Yes.” Al-Bara’ b. Ma‘rur said to him, “O Messenger of Allah, I formed an opinion during this journey of mine, and I wanted to ask you about it so that you may inform me about what I did.” He said, “And what is that?” He said, “I decided not to turn my back to this structure, so I prayed toward it.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “You were upon a qiblah; if only you had remained patient upon it.” So he returned to the qiblah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. His family said, “He died upon that,” but we know better: he returned to the qiblah of the Messenger of Allah and prayed with us toward Syria.

     ✧ I was my father's guide when he lost his sight. Whenever I took him out on Friday and he heard the call to prayer for the Friday prayer, he would ask forgiveness for Abu Umamah As'ad b. Zurarah. I remained for a while hearing that from him, so I said: It is nothing but incapacity unless I ask him about this. So I took him out as I used to take him out, and when he heard the call to prayer for the Friday prayer, he asked forgiveness for him. I said, 'O my father, what do you think about your asking forgiveness for As'ad b. Zurarah every time you hear the call to prayer for the Friday prayer?' He said, 'O my son, As'ad was the first to gather us for Friday prayer in Madinah before the arrival of the Messenger of God ﷺ, in a depression of the Harrah of Banu Bayadah in Naqi' al-Khadamat.' I said, 'How many were you that day?' He said, 'Forty men.'

     ✧ One day we sat in front of the dwellings of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the mosque, among us a group of the Ansar, a group of the Muhajirun, and a group of Banu Hashim. We disputed about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: which of us was closer to him and more beloved to him? We, the Ansar, said: 'We believed in him, followed him, fought alongside him, and his battalion was at the forefront of the enemy, so we are closer to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and more beloved to him.' Our brothers, the Muhajirun, said: 'We are the ones who emigrated to Allah and His Messenger, leaving behind our tribes, families, and properties. We witnessed what you witnessed and were present at what you were present at, so we are closer to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and more beloved to him.' Our brothers from Banu Hashim said: 'We are the clan of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We witnessed what you witnessed and were present at what you were present at, so we are closer to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and more beloved to him.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us, turned to us, and said: 'You are certainly saying something.' We told him what we had said. He said to the Ansar: 'You have spoken the truth. Who can dispute this with you?' We informed him of what our brothers, the Muhajirun, had said. He said: 'They have spoken the truth and been dutiful. Who can dispute this with them?' We informed him of what Banu Hashim had said. He said: 'They have spoken the truth and been dutiful. Who can dispute this with them?' Then he said: 'Shall I not judge between you?' We said: 'Yes, by our fathers and mothers, you, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'As for you, O Ansar, I am your brother.' They said: 'Allah is Greatest! We have won him, by the Lord of the Ka'bah.' 'As for you, O Muhajirun, I am one of you.' They said: 'Allah is Greatest! We have won him, by the Lord of the Ka'bah.' 'As for you, Banu Hashim, you are from me and to me.' We all arose pleased and delighted with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

     كَانَ لِأَبِي الْيَسَرِ عَلَى رَجُلٍ دَيْنٌ فَأَتَاهُ يَتَقَاضَاهُ فِي أَهْلِهِ فَقَالَ لِجَارِيَتِهِ قُولِي لَيْسَ هُوَ هَهُنَا فَسَمِعَ صَوْتَهُ فَقَالَ اخْرُجْ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَكَ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ الْعُسْرَةُ قَالَ اللهَ؟ قَالَ اللهُ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَلَكَ مَا عَلَيْكَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ أَنْظَرَ مُعْسِرًا أَوْ وَضَعَ عَنْهُ كَانَ فِي ظِلِّ اللهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَوْ كَنَفِ اللهِ»

     ✧ Abu al-Yasar had a debt owed to him by a man. He came to him to demand payment at his family’s home. He [the debtor] said to his slave girl: Say he is not here. But he heard his voice, so he said: Come out, I heard your voice. He came out to him, and he said: What made you do what you did? He said: Hardship. He said: By God? He said: By God. He said: Go, for you owe nothing. I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: “Whoever grants respite to a debtor in difficulty or waives [the debt] for him will be in the shade of God on the Day of Resurrection, or under God’s protection.”

     ✧ Abu al-Yasar al-Ansari said: I was sitting with the Messenger of God ﷺ when Abu ʿAmir al-Ashʿari came to him and said: He sent me on such-and-such [an expedition], then I came to Muʾtah. When the ranks were drawn up, Jaʿfar mounted his horse, put on his coat of mail, took the banner, and advanced on foot until he reached the people. Then he called out, “Who will convey this [banner] to its owner?” A man from the people said, “I will.” So he sent it with him, then he advanced and struck with his sword until he was killed. The eyes of the Messenger of God ﷺ overflowed with tears. He prayed Zuhr with us, then entered and did not speak to us. Then the ʿAsr prayer was called, and he came out and prayed, then entered and did not speak to us. He did the same at Maghrib and ʿIsha, entering and not speaking to us. Normally when he prayed he would turn his face toward us, but he came out to us at Fajr at the time he used to come out, while I and Abu ʿAmir al-Ashʿari were sitting. He sat between us and said, “Shall I tell you about a dream I saw? I entered Paradise and saw Jaʿfar with two wings stained with blood, and Zayd facing him, and Ibn Rawahah with them, as if he were turning away from them. I will tell you about that: when Jaʿfar advanced and saw death, he did not turn his face away; Zayd was the same; but Ibn Rawahah turned his face away.”

     ✧ I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivering a sermon during the Farewell Pilgrimage on the middle of the days of Tashriq, saying: “Is this day sacred?” They said, “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “Indeed your sanctity among yourselves is like the sanctity of this day of yours. Shall I tell you who the Muslim is? The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe. Shall I tell you who the believer is? The one whom the Muslims trust with their lives and their wealth. And shall I tell you who the emigrant is? The emigrant is the one who abandons the evil deeds that Allah has forbidden him. And the believer is inviolable to the believer, like the sanctity of this day: his flesh is forbidden to him to eat it in his absence and to backbite him; his honor is forbidden to him to violate it; his face is forbidden to him to slap it; and harming him is forbidden to him to harm him; and it is forbidden to him to push him with a shove that knocks him down.”

     ✧ He heard Abu Ruham al-Ghifari, who was one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ who pledged allegiance under the tree, say: I went on the expedition to Tabuk with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When we traveled one night, I rode close to him, and drowsiness overcame me. I would start awake and find my mount near his mount, and its closeness alarmed me for fear of striking his foot in the stirrup, so I would draw my mount back. This continued until part of the night had passed, when sleep overpowered my eyes and my mount jostled against his foot in the stirrup and struck his foot. I did not wake except at his saying, 'Hass' (a word of pain). I said, 'Seek forgiveness for me, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Move on.' The Prophet ﷺ then began asking me about those who had stayed behind from Banu Ghifar, and I informed him. He asked me, 'What happened to the long, reddish, hairless ones?' I told him that they had stayed behind. Then he said, 'What happened to the dark-complexioned, short, curly-haired, hairless ones who have livestock with branded young she-camels?' The narrator said: I tried to remember among Banu Ghifar, but I could not recall them until I remembered that they were a group from Aslam. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, those are a group from Aslam who stayed behind.'
