   كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ حُنَيْنٍ فَسِرْنَا فِي يَوْمٍ قَائِظٍ شَدِيدِ الْحَرِّ وَنَزَلْنَا تَحْتَ ظِلَالِ الشَّجَرِ فَلَمَّا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ لَبِسْتُ لَأمَتِي وَرَكِبْتُ فَرَسِي فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي فُسْطَاطٍ لَهُ فَقُلْتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ الرَّوَاحُ حَانَ الرَّوَاحُ؟ قَالَ «أَجَلْ» فَقَالَ «يَا بِلَالُ» فَثَارَ مِنْ تَحْتِ سَمُرَةَ فَكَأَنَّ ظِلَّهُ ظِلُّ طَائِرٍ فَقَالَ لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ وَأَنَا فِدَاؤُكَ فَقَالَ «يَا بِلَالُ أَسْرِجْ لِي فَرَسِي» فَأَخْرَجَ سَرْجًا دَفَّتَاهُ مِنْ لِيفٍ وَلَيْسَ فِيهِمَا أَشَرٌ وَلَا بَطَرٌ فَأَسْرَجَ فَرَكِبَ وَرَكِبْنَا فَصَافَفْنَاهُمْ عَشِيَّتَنَا وَلَيْلَتَنَا فَتَشَامَتِ الْخِيلَانِ فَوَلَّى الْمُسْلِمُونَ مُدْبِرِينَ كَمَا قَالَ اللهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ وَرَسُولُهُ» ثُمَّ اقْتَحَمَ عَلَى فَرَسِهِ فَأَخَذَ كَفًّا مِنْ تُرَابٍ فَأَخْبَرَنِي الَّذِي كَانَ أَدْنَى إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي أَنَّهُ ضَرَبَ بِهِ وُجُوهَهُمْ وَقَالَ «شَاهَتِ الْوُجُوهُ فَهَزَمَهُمُ اللهُ» قَالَ يَعْلَى بْنُ عَطَاءٍ فَحَدَّثَنِي أَبْنَاؤُهُمْ عَنْ آبَائِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا «لَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا إِلَّا امْتَلَأَتْ عَيْنَاهُ وَفَمُهُ تُرَابًا وَسَمِعْنَا صَلْصَلَةً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ كَإِمْرَارِ الْحَدِيدِ عَلَى الطَّشْتِ» وَاللَّفْظُ لِعَفَّانَ

   ✧ I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the Battle of Hunayn. We traveled on an intensely hot day, and we alighted under the shade of trees. When the sun declined, I put on my armor, mounted my horse, and went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in his tent. I said: "Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Has the time for departure come?" He said: "Yes." Then he said: "O Bilal!" Bilal sprang up from under a samurah tree as if his shadow were the shadow of a bird. He said: "At your service and at your command; I am your ransom." He said: "O Bilal, saddle my horse for me." He brought out a saddle whose two sides were of palm fiber, with no ornament and no pride. He saddled it, and he mounted, and we mounted. We faced them that evening and that night. The two cavalries exchanged glances. The Muslims turned their backs in flight, as Allah had said. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger." Then he spurred his horse forward, took a handful of dust, and the one who was closer to him than I was to him informed me that he threw it in their faces and said: "Ugly be the faces!" So Allah routed them. Ya'la b. 'Ata' said: Their sons narrated to me from their fathers that they said: "Not one of us remained but that his eyes and mouth were filled with dust, and we heard a clattering from the sky and the earth like the passing of iron over a basin." The wording is that of 'Affan.

   ✧ While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, two riders appeared. When he saw them, he said: "Two Kindis, two Madhhijis." When they came to him, they were indeed two men from Madhhij. One of them drew near to give him the oath of allegiance. When he took his hand, he said: "O Messenger of Allah, what about one who saw you, believed in you, confirmed you, and followed you? What will he have?" He said: "Tuba (glad tidings) for him." He said: "Then he wiped over his hand and departed."

Will he claim it as his when it is not his child, or will he enslave it while it grows up in his hearing and sight?

    ✧ I heard Abū Zamʿah al-Balawī, one of the companions of the tree—he pledged allegiance to the Prophet ﷺ beneath it. One day he came to the mosque of al-Fusṭāṭ and stood in the open courtyard. He had heard some strictness from ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAmr, so he said: “Do not be harsh with the people, for I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: ‘A man of the Children of Israel killed ninety-seven people, then went to a monk and said: “I have killed ninety-seven people; do you find any repentance for me?” He said: “No,” so he killed the monk. Then he went to another monk and said: “I have killed ninety-eight people; do you find any repentance for me?” He said: “No,” so he killed him. Then he went to a third and said: “I have killed ninety-nine people, including two monks; do you find any repentance for me?” He said: “You have done great evil. If I were to say that God is not forgiving and merciful, I would lie. So repent to God.” He said: “As for me, I will not part from you after what you have said.” So he stayed with him on the condition that he not disobey him, and he served him. One day a man died and his reputation was ugly. When he was buried, he sat by his grave and wept bitterly. Then another died, and his reputation was good. When he was buried, he sat by his grave and laughed heartily. His companions found this objectionable, so they gathered before their leader and said: “How can you take in this killer of souls? He has done what you saw.” It troubled him and them. So he came to their leader once while accompanied by a companion of his, and he spoke with him, asking: “What do you command me?” He said: “Go and kindle a oven.” He did, then came back with the news that he had done so. He said: “Go and throw yourself into it.” The monk became distracted from him, and the other went and threw himself into the oven. Then the monk came to his senses and said: “I think the man has thrown himself into the oven because of my words.” He went to him and found him alive in the oven, sweating. He took him by the hand and pulled him out of the oven, then said: “It is not fitting for you to serve me; rather, I will serve you. Tell me about your weeping over the first deceased and your laughing over the other.” He said: “As for the first, when he was buried I saw the evil he was experiencing, and I remembered my own sins and wept. As for the other, I saw the good he was receiving and laughed.” After that he became one of the great men of the Children of Israel.’”

    ✧ the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ, was commanded to pray for the people of Al-Baqi and he prayed for them three times in his night prayer. When he prayed for them the third time, he said, "O Abu Muawiyah, saddle my mount for me." So I saddled the mount for him, and he rode and went to the people of Al-Baqi. Then he alighted and stood among them. He said, "May you be refined by what you have faced from among the tribulations that come one after another, like pieces of a dark night. Some of them are worse than the others. May you be refined by what you have faced from them."

    ✧ We were with the Prophet ﷺ, and he said, "A group of people will travel without having any company from these blessings, meaning a camel or anything. No one among you should be accompanied by a stray person, and no one should turn away a seeker if you seek profit and safety. No one should be accompanied by someone from the people if you truly believe in Allah and the Last Day. There will be no sorcerer or sorceress, no fortune-teller or fortune-telling woman, no astrologer or astrologer woman, and no poet or poetess. If Allah wants to punish any of His servants, He sends him to the lower heaven. Therefore, abstain from disobeying Allah in the evening."

Did you not know that I am the house of trial, the house of darkness, the house of solitude, and the house of worms? What deceived you about me when you used to pass by me strutting (faddadan)?’ If he was righteous, an advocate of the grave answers on his behalf, saying: ‘What do you think if he was one of those who enjoined good and forbade evil?’ The grave then says: ‘Then I will return to him as greenery, and his body will return as light, and his soul will ascend to the Lord of the Worlds.’” A man said: “O Abu al-Hajjaj, what is al-faddad?” He said: “The one who strides forward with one foot and drags the other, like your walk, O son of my brother, at times; and at that time he was dressing and adorning himself.”

    ✧ And he is one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, that the Prophet ﷺ bought a horse from a bedouin. He went ahead to pay him the price of his horse, and the Prophet ﷺ walked quickly while the bedouin walked slowly. Some men began to intercept the bedouin and bargain with him over the horse, not knowing that the Prophet ﷺ had already bought it, until one of them offered the bedouin more than the price for which the Prophet ﷺ had bought the horse. The bedouin called out to the Prophet ﷺ, saying: “If you are buying this horse, then buy it; otherwise I will sell it.” When the Prophet ﷺ heard the bedouin’s call, he said: “Did I not already buy it?” The bedouin said: “No, by Allah, we have not made a transaction.” The Prophet ﷺ said: “Indeed, I did buy it.” People began to crowd around the Prophet ﷺ and the bedouin while they were arguing. The bedouin kept saying: “Bring a witness who testifies that I sold it to you.” Every Muslim who came said to the bedouin: “Woe to you! The Prophet ﷺ would never say anything but the truth.” Then Khuzaymah came and listened to the exchange between the Prophet ﷺ and the bedouin. The bedouin kept saying: “Bring a witness that I sold it to you.” Khuzaymah said: “I testify that you have sold it.” The Prophet ﷺ turned to Khuzaymah and said: “On what basis do you testify?” He said: “By affirming your truthfulness, O Messenger of Allah.” So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made the testimony of Khuzaymah equal to the testimony of two men.

So I went forth, or he said: "So we went forth," and when we reached Al-Baqi, he sought forgiveness for the people of the graves. Then he said, "May you be blessed with what you have experienced until now. If you only knew what has been saved for you by Allah, you would have seen that trials would descend upon you like the darkest part of the night. The last of them would go on while the first of them is even worse than the last." Then he said, "O Abu Muwayhibah, did you know that Allah has bestowed upon me the treasures of the earth and eternal life in it, followed by Paradise and the meeting with my Lord?" I said, "May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, so take the keys to the treasures of the earth and eternal life in it." He said, "No, O Abu Muwayhibah, I have chosen the meeting with my Lord." Then he sought forgiveness for the people of the graves and then left. When morning came, he began to complain of the ailment that he passed away from. (Sahih Muslim)

     ✧ I saw a slave girl walking in one of the streets of Madinah, walking unsteadily. I reached my hand to her waist. The next day I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while the people were pledging allegiance to him. I stretched out my hand and said: “Give me your pledge, O Messenger of Allah.” He said: “Are you the one who pinched yesterday? Indeed, you are the one who pinched yesterday.” I said: “O Messenger of Allah, accept my pledge, for by Allah I will never do it again.” He said: “Then how excellent!”

     ✧ From Abu Layla al-Ashʿari, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who said: “Hold fast to obedience to your leaders and do not oppose them, for obedience to them is obedience to Allah, and disobedience to them is disobedience to Allah. Allah sent me only to call to His way with wisdom and good exhortation. Whoever succeeds me in that is my ally. Whoever is given any authority over your affairs and acts otherwise, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people. You will soon be ruled by commanders who, if asked for mercy, will not show mercy, and if asked for their rights, will not give them, and if commanded to do good, will reject it. You will keep away from them, and your assemblies will disperse until they cannot impose anything upon you except that you bear it willingly or unwillingly. The least that is your due is that you do not accept any gift from them and do not attend their gatherings.”

The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "Paradise is adorned for the month of Ramadan from the beginning of the year to the beginning of the year, until when it is the first night, a wind blows from beneath the Throne and rustles the leaves of the trees of Paradise. The wide-eyed houris look at that and say: 'O Lord, make for us from Your servants in this month spouses by whom our eyes will be delighted and their eyes will be delighted by us.' There is no servant who fasts the month of Ramadan except that God marries him to a wife each day from the wide-eyed houris confined in pavilions. Upon each woman among them are seventy garments, no garment of the same color as another, and she is given seventy kinds of perfume, no kind resembling another. Each woman among them is on a couch of ruby studded with pearls, on seventy beds whose linings are of rich brocade, and above the seventy beds are seventy canopied couches. For each woman among them are seventy servant boys to serve her and seventy servant boys to receive her, and with each servant boy is a platter of gold containing a kind of food, the last of which he finds the same pleasure as the first. Her husband is given the like of that on a couch of red ruby, upon him are two bracelets of gold studded with red ruby. This is for every day he fasted from the month of Ramadan, besides the good deeds he has done."

     أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ «لَمَّا حَضَرَتْهَا الْوَفَاةُ أَمَرَتْ عَلِيًّا فَوَضَعَ لَهَا غُسْلًا فَاغْتَسَلَتْ وَتَطَهَّرَتْ وَدَعَتْ بِثِيَابِ أَكْفَانِهَا فَأُتِيَتْ بِثِيَابٍ غِلَاظٍ خَشِنٍ وَلَبِسَتْهَا وَمَسَّتْ مِنَ الْحَنُوطِ وَأَمَرَتْ عَلِيًّا أَنْ لَا تُكْشَفَ إِذَا قُبِضَتْ وَأَنْ تُدْرَجَ كَمَا هِيَ فِي ثِيَابِهَا» فَقُلْتُ لَهُ هَلْ عَلَّمَتْ أَحَدًا فِعْلَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ كَثِيرَ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَكَتَبَ فِي أَطْرَافِ أَكْفَانِهِ يَشْهَدُ كَثِيرُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ

     ✧ When death came to Fatimah, she instructed Ali to prepare a washing place for her, so she washed and purified herself, and she called for her shroud garments. She was brought coarse, rough garments, and she put them on and touched some of the perfume. She instructed Ali not to uncover her when she died and to wrap her as she was in her garments. I said to him: Did she teach anyone to do that? He said: Yes, Kathir b. Abbas, and he wrote on the edges of his shroud: Kathir b. Abbas bears witness that there is no god but God.
