    ʿAmr ibn Salamah al-Jarmī (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We were dwelling at a watering-place, and riders (or, as Ismāʿīl said on another occasion, people) used to pass by us returning from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ; I would draw near to them and listen, until I had memorized a great deal of Qurʾān. The people were delaying their acceptance of Islam until the conquest of Makkah; when it was conquered, each tribe hastened, and a man would come to him and say, “O Messenger of Allah, I am the delegate of such-and-such a people, and I have brought you news of their acceptance of Islam.” My father set out with his people’s acceptance of Islam, and when he returned he said, “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ has said, ‘Let whichever of you has gathered the most Qurʾān lead you.‘” They looked, and, though I was among a great assembly, they found no one who had gathered more Qurʾān than I, so they brought me forward while I was a boy. I led them in prayer wearing a cloak of mine, and whenever I bowed or prostrated it would ride up, exposing my nakedness, until an old woman of ours said, after we had prayed, “Cover up the backside of your reciter, for us!” So they cut out a garment for me, and I have never been so pleased with anything as I was with that garment.

At that moment there was not a single cloud in the sky. Yet by the time we had finished the [Friday] prayer, the rain was so heavy that even a young man whose home was nearby found it difficult to get back to his family. The following Friday, people said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, our houses have been ruined and the travelers are stranded.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ smiled at how quickly the son of Adam grows weary, and said: ‘O Allah, let it rain around us and not upon us.’ And the clouds dispersed from above Madīnah.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 106

    حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: سَمِعَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُنَادِي عَلَى قَلِيبِ بَدْرٍ: «يَا أَبَا جَهْلِ بْنَ هِشَامٍ، يَا عُتْبَةُ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ، يَا شَيْبَةُ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ، يَا أُمَيَّةُ بْنَ خَلَفٍ، هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا؟ فَإِنِّي وَجَدْتُ مَا وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي حَقًّا». قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، تُنَادِي قَوْمًا قَدْ جَيَّفُوا؟ قَالَ: «مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَسْمَعَ لِمَا أَقُولُ مِنْهُمْ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يُجِيبُوا».

    Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Muslims heard the Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ calling out over the dry well of Badr: “O Abū Jahl ibn Hishām! O ʿUtbah ibn Rabīʿah! O Shaybah ibn Rabīʿah! O Umayyah ibn Khalaf! Have you found what your Lord promised you to be true? For I have indeed found what my Lord promised me to be true.” His Companions asked: “O Messenger of Allah, are you calling out to people who have already decomposed?” He replied: “You cannot hear what I am saying any better than they can — but they are unable to answer.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 107

    Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ said: “O assembly of the Anṣār! Did I not come to you when you were astray, and Allah guided you through me? Were you not divided, and Allah united you through me? Were you not enemies of one another, and Allah brought your hearts together through me?” They replied: “Yes indeed, O Messenger of Allah.” He said: “Then why do you not say — and you would be fully entitled to say it: ‘You came to us afraid, and we gave you safety; you came as one driven out, and we gave you shelter; you came defeated, and we gave you victory’?” They said: “No — rather all favor belongs to Allah and to His Messenger.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 108

    Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ set out towards Badr, he consulted the people. Abū Bakr gave his counsel, then he consulted them again and ʿUmar gave his counsel, and then he fell silent. A man from the Anṣār said: “He means you [O Anṣār].” So they said: “O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, we will not say what the Children of Israel said to Moses: ‘Go forth, you and your Lord, and fight; we will remain sitting here.’ 5:24]. Rather, by Allah, even if you were to drive our mounts [all the way] until you reached Bark al-Ghimād, we would be with you.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 109

    Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I invited the Muslims to the wedding feast of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ on the morning he consummated his marriage with Zaynab bint Jaḥsh. He fed the Muslims bread and meat until they were satisfied. He then went around to the apartments of his wives as he used to do, greeted them, and they prayed [for blessings] upon him. He then returned home and I was with him. When he reached the house, there were two men engaged in conversation in a corner of the room. When he saw them he turned and left. When the two men saw that the Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ had left, they hastily got up and departed. I do not know whether I informed him or whether he was told by someone else; he returned to his house, lowered the curtain between himself and me, and then the verse of ḥijāb was revealed.

    Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: A son of Abū Ṭalḥah fell ill. Abū Ṭalḥah went out to the mosque, and the boy passed away. Umm Sulaym prepared the deceased child and said to her household: “Do not let any of you tell Abū Ṭalḥah that his son has died.” He returned home with some companions from the mosque and asked: “How is the boy?” She replied: “Better than he has ever been.” She served them their supper, they ate, and the guests departed. When the last part of the night came, she said: “Abū Ṭalḥah, have you not noticed the family of so-and-so — they borrowed something, enjoyed it, and when asked to return it, they seemed reluctant?” He said: “They were not fair.” She said: “Your son was a trust from Allah ﷻ, and Allah has taken him back.” He recited innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūn and praised Allah. In the morning he went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ, and when [the Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ] saw him he said: “May Allah bless the two of you in your night.” She conceived ʿAbdullāh and gave birth to him at night, and she was reluctant to perform taḥneek herself, wishing the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ to do it. Anas said: So I carried him in the early morning along with some ʿajwah dates and found [the Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ] branding some of his camels. I said: “O Messenger of Allah, Umm Sulaym has given birth last night and wishes the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ to perform taḥneek on him.” He said: “Do you have anything with you?” I replied: “Some ʿajwah dates.” He took some of them, chewed them, then gathered his blessed saliva and placed it in the infant’s mouth, and the child began to smack his lips. The Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ said: “The Anṣār love dates.” I said: “O Messenger of Allah, name him.” He said: “His name is ʿAbdullāh.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 116

Intoxicating drinks have been prohibited!” They did not say: “Let us first investigate and ask.” Rather, they said: “Pour away what is left in your jug, Anas!” He [Anas] said: “By Allah, they never returned to it — and their drink was nothing but ripe and unripe dates; that was their wine at the time.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 124

News of this reached the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ and he disliked the idea of the outskirts of Madinah being left deserted, so he said to them: “O Banū Salamah, do you not expect reward from Allah for every step you take to the mosque?” They said, “Yes indeed, O Messenger of Allah.” So they remained where they were.

    Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The iqāmah was called, and a man came running to join [the congregation] but arrived out of breath. When he reached the row he said: “Al-ḥamdu lillāhi ḥamdan kathīran ṭayyiban mubārakan fīh All praise is due to Allah, abundant, pure, and blessed praise.” After the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ completed the prayer, he asked, “Which one of you said those words?” The people remained silent, so he asked again: “Which one of you said them? For what he said was good; he said nothing wrong.” The man replied, “O Messenger of Allah, I hurried here and was out of breath when I reached the row, so I said what I said.” The Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ said, “I saw twelve angels competing to see which of them would carry those words up [to Allah].” Then he said: “When any of you comes to prayer, let him walk at a calm pace; let him pray whatever [rakʿahs] he catches [with the imam] and make up what he has missed.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 129

Rather, when the believer is near death a glad tiding comes to him from Allah of what he is about to receive, and there is nothing then more beloved to him than having met Allah, so Allah loves to meet him. But when the sinner or the disbeliever is near death, tidings come to him of the evil that awaits him, and he hates to meet Allah, so Allah hates to meet him.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 140

He had recently gone to a freed slave of his who had invited him and prepared food for him. I went to him and found him eating; he invited me to eat with him. [The freed slave] had made tharīd for him with meat and gourd, and [I noticed] the Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ was particularly delighted by the gourd, so I began to gather pieces of it and place them near him. When he had finished eating he returned to his home, and I placed the basket of dates before him.

As he was fasting, he said, “Return your dates to their container and your ghee to its vessel.” He then went to a corner of the house and offered two voluntary rakʿahs, and we prayed with him. Afterward he supplicated for Umm Sulaym and her household with every good. Umm Sulaym said, “O Messenger of Allah, I have a small private request.” He said, “What is it?” She said, “Your servant Anas.” Anas reported: He left no good of the hereafter or of this world without supplicating to Allah to grant it to me, saying: “O Allah, grant him wealth and children, and bless him therein.” “So there was no one among the Anṣār wealthier than I.” He [Anas] also mentioned that he did not possess any gold or silver apart from his ring.

What is the first food that the people of Paradise will eat? And how does a child come to resemble either its father or its mother?” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ replied: “Jibrīl just now informed me of these.” ʿAbdullāh said, “That one, he is the enemy of the Jews among the angels.” The Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ then said: “As for the first sign of the Hour, it is a fire that will emerge from the east and drive people toward the west. As for the first food the people of Paradise will eat, it is the additional lobe of a fish's liver. And as for the child's resemblance to one parent or another: if the man's fluid precedes the woman's, the child resembles him; and if the woman's fluid precedes the man's, the child resembles her.” ʿAbdullāh said, “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah.” He then said: “O Messenger of Allah, the Jews are a people given to slander. If they hear of my conversion, they will slander me before you. So send for them and ask them about me first.” He sent for them and asked: “What manner of man is ʿAbdullāh ibn Salām among you?” They said: “He is the best of us and the son of the best of us; our scholar and the son of our scholars; the most learned of us and the son of the most learned.” He said: “What if he were to embrace Islam, would you follow?” They said: “May Allah protect him from that!” Then ʿAbdullāh ibn Salām came out and declared: “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allah.” They said: “He is the worst of us and the son of the worst; the most ignorant of us and the son of the most ignorant.” ʿAbdullāh ibn Salām said: “This is exactly what I feared from you.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 148

When a man among us had read al-Baqarah and Āl ʿImrān, he became eminent in our eyes, that is, he was held in high regard. The Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ would dictate to him ghafūran raḥīman (Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful), but he would write ʿalīman ḥakīman (All-Knowing, All-Wise). The Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ would say to him, “Write such and such; write as you wish.” And he would dictate to him ʿalīman ḥakīman, and the man would say, “Shall I write samīʿan baṣīran (All-Hearing, All-Seeing)?” and he would say, “Write as you wish.” Then that man apostatized from Islam and joined the polytheists, saying, “I know Muḥammad better than you do; I used to write whatever I wished.” Then that man died, and the Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ said, “The earth will not accept him.” Anas said: Abū Ṭalḥah (may Allah be pleased with him) told me that he came to the land in which that man had died and found him cast out [upon its surface]. Abū Ṭalḥah asked, “What is the matter with this man?” They said, “We have buried him repeatedly, but the earth would not accept him.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 197

     Sahl ibn Saʿd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I witnessed the Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ [preside over] a couple who performed mutual imprecation (liʿān). They invoked curses upon each other during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ, and I was fifteen years old at that time. [The husband] said, “Messenger of Allah, if I keep her [as my wife], then I will have lied against her.” Then she gave birth to [a child who matched the description] that was disliked [by the husband, confirming the allegation].

     حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْوَلِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جُمَيْعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ قَالَ: لَمَّا أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ أَمَرَ مُنَادِيًا فَنَادَى: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخَذَ الْعَقَبَةَ فَلَا يَأْخُذْهَا أَحَدٌ. فَبَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُودُهُ حُذَيْفَةُ وَيَسُوقُ بِهِ عَمَّارٌ، إِذْ أَقْبَلَ رَهْطٌ مُتَلَثِّمُونَ عَلَى الرَّوَاحِلِ غَشَوْا عَمَّارًا وَهُوَ يَسُوقُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَأَقْبَلَ عَمَّارٌ يَضْرِبُ وُجُوهَ الرَّوَاحِلِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِحُذَيْفَةَ: «قَدْ، قَدْ» حَتَّى هَبَطَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَلَمَّا هَبَطَ نَزَلَ وَرَجَعَ عَمَّارٌ، فَقَالَ: «يَا عَمَّارُ، هَلْ عَرَفْتَ الْقَوْمَ؟» فَقَالَ: قَدْ عَرَفْتُ عَامَّةَ الرَّوَاحِلِ وَالْقَوْمُ مُتَلَثِّمُونَ. قَالَ: «هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا أَرَادُوا؟» قَالَ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: «أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَنْفِرُوا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَيَطْرَحُوهُ». قَالَ: فَسَأَلَ عَمَّارٌ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: نَشَدْتُكَ اللَّهَ، كَمْ تَعْلَمُ كَانَ أَصْحَابُ الْعَقَبَةِ؟ فَقَالَ: أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ. فَقَالَ: إِنْ كُنْتَ فِيهِمْ فَقَدْ كَانُوا خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ، فَعَذَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْهُمْ ثَلَاثَةً قَالُوا: وَاللَّهِ مَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَا عَلِمْنَا مَا أَرَادَ الْقَوْمُ. فَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ: أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الِاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ الْبَاقِينَ حَرْبٌ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَيَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْأَشْهَادُ. قَالَ الْوَلِيدُ: وَذَكَرَ أَبُو الطُّفَيْلِ فِي تِلْكَ الْغَزْوَةِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذُكِرَ لَهُ أَنَّ فِي الْمَاءِ قِلَّةً، فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُنَادِيًا فَنَادَى: «أَنْ لَا يَرِدَ الْمَاءَ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ» فَوَرَدَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَجَدَ رَهْطًا قَدْ وَرَدُوهُ قَبْلَهُ، فَلَعَنَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ

     Abū al-Ṭufayl ʿĀmir ibn Wāthilah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ was returning from the expedition of Tabūk, he ordered a caller to announce, “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has taken the mountain pass, so let no one else take it.” While the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ was being led by Ḥudhayfah and driven from behind by ʿAmmār, a group of masked riders approached and surrounded ʿAmmār as he drove the she-camel of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ. ʿAmmār struck the faces of their mounts, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ said to Ḥudhayfah, “Enough, enough,” until he ﷺ had descended. When he ﷺ had gone down, he dismounted, and ʿAmmār returned to him. He ﷺ said, “O ʿAmmār, did you recognize the people?” He said, “I recognized most of the mounts; the riders were masked.” He ﷺ said, “Do you know what they wanted?” He said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He ﷺ said, “They wanted to startle the mount of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) so that he would be thrown down.” ʿAmmār then adjured a man from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ, saying, “I adjure you by Allah, how many do you know were at the mountain pass?” He said, “Fourteen.” ʿAmmār said, “If you were one of them, then they were fifteen.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ excused three of them, who swore, “By Allah, we did not hear the caller of the Messenger of Allah, and we did not know what the people intended.” ʿAmmār then said, “I bear witness that the remaining twelve are at war with Allah and His Messenger in this worldly life and on the Day when the witnesses will stand.” Al-Walīd said: Abū al-Ṭufayl also mentioned that during that expedition, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ was told that the water supply was scarce, so he ﷺ ordered a caller to announce that no one should reach the water before the Messenger of Allah. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ reached it, he found that a group had already reached it before him, so he ﷺ cursed them that day. Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 218

There was a velvet blanket in the middle of the house, and he ﷺ said, “Lift this blanket.” They lifted it, and there was a one-eyed boy beneath it. He ﷺ said, “Get up, boy.” The boy got up, and he ﷺ asked him, “Boy, do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?” The boy answered, “Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?” This exchange was repeated three times, the boy each time returning the same reply, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ then said, “Seek refuge with Allah from the evil of this one” — twice.

Then I heard [Ibn Abī Awfā] say to him, “Where is the bier?” He said, “Behind you.” He did this once or twice, then said, “Did I not forbid you to put me in front of the bier?” He then heard a woman striking her face in mourning and said, “Enough! Did I not forbid you this? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ used to forbid wailing eulogies, though each of you may shed as many tears as she wishes.” When the bier was set down, he came forward and pronounced four takbīrs over it, then paused briefly; some of those present, thinking he had forgotten, said “Subḥān Allāh,” so he turned to them and said, “Did you think I was going to pronounce a fifth takbīr?” They said, “Yes.” He said, “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ used to pause briefly after the fourth takbīr.” After the burial he sat, and we sat with him, and he was asked about the flesh of domesticated donkeys. He said, “On the day of Khaybar, domesticated donkeys came out from the village, and the people fell upon them and slaughtered them, and the pots were already boiling with some of the meat, when the caller of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ called out, ‘Pour it out,’ so we poured it out.” [Al-Hajarī added:] I saw ʿAbdullāh ibn Abī Awfā wearing a green silk cloak.

He dismounted and began to chant while driving the camels: “O Allah, were it not for You, we would not have been guided, nor given charity, nor prayed. So forgive what wrong we have done, offering ourselves in ransom for You, and make our feet firm if we meet the enemy, and send down tranquility upon us. Indeed, when the call to arms is raised, we answer it, and to the cry [of battle] they have turned for support.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ asked, “Who is this driver?” They said, “Ibn al-Akwaʿ.” He said, “May Allah have mercy on him.” A man said, “It has become binding upon him, Messenger of Allah, if only you had let us enjoy him longer.” Then he was struck: he had gone to strike a Jewish man, but the tip of the sword recoiled and struck his own knee, and he died from it. The people began saying, “His deeds have been nullified; he killed himself.” So I went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ after he had returned to Madīnah, while he was in the mosque, and said, “Messenger of Allah, they claim that ʿĀmir’s deeds have been nullified.” He said, “Who says that?” I said, “Some men from the Anṣār, so-and-so and so-and-so.” He said, “Whoever said that has lied. He indeed has a double reward”, indicating this with two of his fingers, “he was a striver and a warrior, and few Arabs walk the earth with the like of what he had.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 285

What Ibn ʿUmar did hear from the Prophet (ﷺ) himself was: “The mīqāt of the people of Medina is Dhū al-Ḥulayfa.” When asked: “And where for the people of Iraq?” Ibn ʿUmar replied: “Iraq did not exist at that time.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 10

     Jābir (رضي الله عنه) reported: “The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: ‘If the wealth of Bahrain arrives, I will give you this much, this much, and this much,’ gesturing with his hands three times. When the wealth of Bahrain arrived after the death of the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ), Abū Bakr announced: ‘Whoever is owed a debt by the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ), or was made a promise, let him come to us.’ So I came and said: ‘The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) promised: “If the wealth of Bahrain arrives, I will give you this much, this much, and this much,” three times.’ [Abū Bakr] said: ‘Take it.’ So I took it (some of those who heard the account said it amounted to five hundred ). Then I came back to him and he did not give me. I came again and he did not give me. I came a third time and he still did not give me. I said: ‘Either give me, or admit your miserliness (bukhl) toward me.’ He said: ‘Did you say I am being miserly with you? What ailment is worse than miserliness? I truly wanted to give you every time you came, but I was preoccupied with other affairs.’” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 31

     Jābir (رضي الله عنه) reported: “Muʿādh [ibn Jabal] used to pray with the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) and then return to lead us in prayer (on another occasion [Jābir said]: to pray with his people). One night, the Prophet (ﷺ) delayed the prayer, or as he said on another occasion, delayed the ʿIshāʾ. So Muʿādh prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ), then came to lead his people and recited Sūrat al-Baqara. A man from the congregation separated and prayed [a quicker prayer] on his own. He was told: ‘You have become a hypocrite, so-and-so!’ He replied: ‘I am no hypocrite.’ He then went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘Messenger of Allāh, Muʿādh prays with you and then comes back to lead us in prayer. We are people with water-hauling camels and we work with our hands, yet he came and led us in prayer reciting Sūrat al-Baqara.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘O Muʿādh, are you putting people to trial? Are you putting people to trial? Recite such-and-such [shorter chapters].’ Abū al-Zubayr added: ‘[He told him to recite] “Glorify the Name of your Lord Most High” (al-Aʿlā, 87) and “By the night when it covers” (al-Layl, 92).’ We mentioned this to ʿAmr [ibn Dīnār] and he said: ‘I believe Jābir did mention them [in his narration].’” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 33

     Ismāʻīl narrated to us: ʻAbd al-ʻAzīz narrated to us, from Anas, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ raided Khaybar. “We prayed the dawn prayer near it while it was still dark, then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ mounted and Abū Ṭalḥah mounted, and I rode behind Abū Ṭalḥah. The Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah ﷺ rode through the alleys of Khaybar, and my knee was touching the thigh of the Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah ﷺ. His lower garment slipped from his thigh, and I could see the whiteness of the thigh of the Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah ﷺ. When he entered the town he said, ‘Allāhu akbar! Khaybar is destroyed. When we descend upon the open ground of a people, evil is the morning of those who were warned.’ He said it three times. The people had gone out to their work, and they cried, ‘Muḥammad!’ (ʻAbd al-ʻAzīz said: and some of our companions said, ‘and the army!’). We took it by force, and the captives were gathered. Diḥyah came and said, ‘Prophet of Allah, give me a slave-girl from the captives.’ He said, ‘Go and take one.’ He took Ṣafiyyah bint Ḥuyayy. Then a man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ and said, ‘Messenger of Allah, you have given Diḥyah Ṣafiyyah bint Ḥuyayy, the mistress of Qurayẓah and al-Naḍīr; she is fit for none but you.’ He said, ‘Call him and let him bring her.’ When the Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ saw her he said to Diḥyah, ‘Take another slave-girl from the captives.’ Then the Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah ﷺ freed her and married her.” Thābit asked Anas, “Abū Ḥamzah, what dowry did he give her?” He said, “Herself: he freed her and married her. On the way, Umm Sulaym prepared her and brought her to him at night, and the Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ rose a bridegroom. He said, ‘Whoever has anything, let him bring it,’ and he spread out a leather mat. One man brought dried yoghurt, another brought dates, and another brought clarified butter (and I think he mentioned parched barley, sawīq, too), and they made ḥays. That was the wedding feast of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 86

Then he said, “Do you know what al-Kawthar is?” They said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said, “It is a river my Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, has granted me in Paradise, upon which there is much good. My ummah will come to it on the Day of Resurrection; its vessels are as numerous as the stars. A servant of theirs will be snatched away from it and I will say, ‘My Lord, he is one of my ummah,’ and it will be said to me, ‘You do not know what they introduced after you.’”’” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 89

By Him in whose Hand is my soul, had you seen what I have seen, you would have laughed little and wept much.” They said, “Messenger of Allah, what did you see?” He said, “I saw Paradise and the Fire.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 91

     Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We used to love it when a man from the desert would come and question the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ. A Bedouin came and asked: “O Messenger of Allah, when will the Hour come?” The iqāmah for prayer had already been called, so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ performed the prayer. When he finished, he asked: “Where is the one who was asking about the Hour?” The man said: “It is I, O Messenger of Allah.” He asked: “What have you prepared for it?” The man replied: “I have not prepared for it a great deal of prayer or fasting, but I love Allah and His Messenger.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ then said: “A person will be with those whom he loves.” Anas said: “I have never seen the Muslims rejoice at anything after embracing Islam as they rejoiced at this.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 100
