Narrated Abu 'Is-haq:
Once, while I was sitting beside Zaid bin Al-Arqam, he was asked, "How many Ghazwat did the
Prophet undertake?" Zaid replied, "Nineteen." They said, "In how many Ghazwat did you join him?"
He replied, "Seventeen." I asked, "Which of these was the first?" He replied, "Al-`Ashira or Al-
`Ashiru."

Narrated Buraida:
That he fought sixteen Ghazawat with Allah''s Apostle.

Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud:
From Sa`d bin Mu`adh: Sa`d bin Mu`adh was an intimate friend of Umaiya bin Khalaf and whenever
Umaiya passed through Medina, he used to stay with Sa`d, and whenever Sa`d went to Mecca, he used
to stay with Umaiya. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) arrived at Medina, Sa`d went to perform `Umra and
stayed at Umaiya's home in Mecca. He said to Umaiya, "Tell me of a time when (the Mosque) is
empty so that I may be able to perform Tawaf around the Ka`ba." So Umaiya went with him about
midday. Abu Jahl met them and said, "O Abu Safwan! Who is this man accompanying you?" He said,
"He is Sa`d." Abu Jahl addressed Sa`d saying, "I see you wandering about safely in Mecca inspite of
the fact that you have given shelter to the people who have changed their religion (i.e. became
Muslims) and have claimed that you will help them and support them. By Allah, if you were not in the
company of Abu Safwan, you would not be able to go your family safely." Sa`d, raising his voice,
said to him, "By Allah, if you should stop me from doing this (i.e. performing Tawaf) I would
certainly prevent you from something which is more valuable for you, that is, your passage through
Medina." On this, Umaiya said to him, "O Sa`d do not raise your voice before Abu-l-Hakam, the chief
of the people of the Valley (of Mecca)." Sa`d said, "O Umaiya, stop that! By Allah, I have heard
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) predicting that the Muslim will kill you." Umaiya asked, "In Mecca?" Sa`d said, "I do
not know." Umaiya was greatly scared by that news.
When Umaiya returned to his family, he said to his wife, "O Um Safwan! Don't you know what Sa`d
told me? "She said, "What has he told you?" He replied, "He claims that Muhammad has informed
them (i.e. companions that they will kill me. I asked him, 'In Mecca?' He replied, 'I do not know."
Then Umaiya added, "By Allah, I will never go out of Mecca." But when the day of (the Ghazwa of)
Badr came, Abu Jahl called the people to war, saying, "Go and protect your caravan." But Umaiya
disliked to go out (of Mecca). Abu Jahl came to him and said, "O Abu Safwan! If the people see you
staying behind though you are the chief of the people of the Valley, then they will remain behind with
you." Abu Jahl kept on urging him to go until he (i.e. Umaiya) said, "As you have forced me to
change my mind, by Allah, I will buy the best camel in Mecca. Then Umaiya said (to his wife). "O
Um Safwan, prepare what I need (for the journey)." She said to him, "O Abu Safwan! Have you
forgotten what your Yathribi brother told you?" He said, "No, but I do not want to go with them but
for a short distance." So when Umaiya went out, he used to tie his camel wherever he camped. He
kept on doing that till Allah caused him to be killed at Badr.

Narrated Ka`b bin Malik:
I never failed to join Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in any of his Ghazawat except in the Ghazwa of Tabuk.
However, I did not take part in the Ghazwa of Badr, but none who failed to take part in it, was
blamed, for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had gone out to meet the caravans of (Quraish, but Allah caused them (i.e.
Muslims) to meet their enemy unexpectedly (with no previous intention) .

Narrated Ibn Masud:
I witnessed Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad in a scene which would have been dearer to me than anything
had I been the hero of that scene. He (i.e. Al-Miqdad) came to the Prophet (ﷺ) while the Prophet (ﷺ) was
urging the Muslims to fight with the pagans. Al-Miqdad said, "We will not say as the People of Moses
said: Go you and your Lord and fight you two. (5.27). But we shall fight on your right and on your left
and in front of you and behind you." I saw the face of the Prophet (ﷺ) getting bright with happiness, for
that saying delighted him.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
On the day of the battle of Badr, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah! I appeal to You (to fulfill) Your
Covenant and Promise. O Allah! If Your Will is that none should worship You (then give victory to
the pagans)." Then Abu Bakr took hold of him by the hand and said, "This is sufficient for you." The
Prophet came out saying, "Their multitude will be put to flight and they will show their backs."
(54.45)

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
The believers who failed to join the Ghazwa of Badr and those who took part in it are not equal (in
reward).

Narrated Al-Bara:
I and Ibn `Umar were considered too young to take part in the battle of Badr.

Emigrant warriors were over sixty (men) and the Ansar were over 249.

Narrated Al-Bara:
The companions of (the Prophet) Muhammad who took part in Badr, told me that their number was
that of Saul's (i.e. Talut's) companions who crossed the river (of Jordan) with him and they were over
three-hundred-and-ten men. By Allah, none crossed the river with him but a believer. (See Qur'an
2:249)

Narrated Al-Bara:
We, the Companions of Muhammad used to say that the number of the warriors of Badr was the same
as the number of Saul's companions who crossed the river (of Jordan) with him, and none crossed the
river with him but a believer, and the were over three-hundred-and-ten men.

Companions of Saul who crossed the river with him; and none crossed the river with him but a
believer.

Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud:
The Prophet (ﷺ) faced the Ka`ba and invoked evil on some people of Quraish, on Shaiba bin Rabi`a,
`Utba bin Rabi`a, Al-Walid bin `Utba and Abu Jahl bin Hisham. I bear witness, by Allah, that I saw
them all dead, putrefied by the sun as that day was a very hot day.

Narrated `Abdullah That he came across Abu Jahl while he was on the point of death on the day of:
Badr. Abu Jahl said, "You should not be proud that you have killed me nor I am ashamed of being
killed by my own folk."

Narrated Anas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Who will go and see what has happened to Abu Jahl?" Ibn Mas`ud went and found
that the two sons of 'Afra had struck him fatally (and he was in his last breaths). `Abdullah bin Mas`ud
said, "Are you Abu Jahl?" And took him by the beard. Abu Jahl said, "Can there be a man superior to
one you have killed or one whom his own folk have killed?"

Narrated Anas:
On the day of Badr, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Who will go and see what has happened to Abu Jahl?" Ibn
Mas`ud went and found that the two sons of 'Afra had struck him fatally. `Abdullah bin Mas`ud got
hold of his beard and said, "'Are you Abu Jahl?" He replied, "Can there be a man more superior to one
whom his own folk have killed (or you have killed)?"

the Beneficent to receive His judgment on the day of Resurrection (in my favor)." Qais bin Ubad also
said, "The following Verse was revealed in their connection:--
"These two opponents believers and disbelievers) Dispute with each other About their Lord." (22.19)

on the day of Badr.

Narrated Abu 'Is-haq:
A man asked Al-Bara' and I was listening, "Did `Ali take part in (the battle of) Badr?" Al-Bara' said,
"(Yes). he even met (his enemies) in a duel and was clad in two armors (one over the other).

Narrated `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf:
"I had an agreement with Umaiya bin Khalaf (that he would look after my relatives and property in
Mecca, and I would look after his relatives and property in Medina)." `Abdur-Rahman then mentioned
the killing of Umaiya and his son on the day of Badr, and Bilal said, "Woe to me if Umaiya remains
safe (i.e. alive) . "

Narrated 'Abdullah:
The Prophet (ﷺ) recited Surat-an-Najm and then prostrated himself, and all
who were with him prostrated too. But an old man took a handful of
dust and touched his forehead with it saying, "This is sufficient for
me." Later on I saw him killed as an infidel.

Narrated 'Urwa (the son of Az- Zubair):
Az-Zubair had three scars
caused by the sword, one of which was over his shoulder and I used to
insert my fingers in it. He received two of those wounds on the day of
Badr and one on the day of Al-Yarmuk. When 'Abdullah bin Zubair was
killed, 'Abdul-Malik bin Marwan said to me, "O 'Urwa, do you recognize
the sword of Az-Zubair?" I said, "Yes." He said, "What marks does it
have?" I replied, "It has a dent in its sharp edge which was caused in
it on the day of Badr." 'Abdul- Malik said, "You are right! (i.e.
their swords) have dents because of clashing with the regiments of the
enemies Then 'Abdul-Malik returned that sword to me (i.e. Urwa).
(Hisham, 'Urwa's son said, "We estimated the price of the sword as
three-thousand (Dinars) and after that it was taken by one of us (i.e.
the inheritors) and I wish I could have had it.")

Narrated Hisham:
That his father said, "The sword of Az-Zubair was decorated with silver." Hisham added, "The sword
of `Urwa was (also) decorated with silver. "

Narrated `Urwa:
On the day of (the battle) of Al-Yarmuk, the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to Az-Zubair, "Will
you attack the enemy so that we shall attack them with you?" Az-Zubair replied, "If I attack them, you
people would not support me." They said, "No, we will support you." So Az-Zubair attacked them
(i.e. Byzantine) and pierced through their lines, and went beyond them and none of his companions
was with him. Then he returned and the enemy got hold of the bridle of his (horse) and struck him two
blows (with the sword) on his shoulder. Between these two wounds there was a scar caused by a blow,
he had received on the day of Badr (battle). When I was a child I used to play with those scars by
putting my fingers in them. On that day (my brother) "Abdullah bin Az-Zubair was also with him and
he was ten years old. Az-Zubair had carried him on a horse and let him to the care of some men.

Narrated Abu Talha:
On the day of Badr, the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that the corpses of twenty four leaders of Quraish should be
thrown into one of the dirty dry wells of Badr. (It was a habit of the Prophet (ﷺ) that whenever he
conquered some people, he used to stay at the battle-field for three nights. So, on the third day of the
battle of Badr, he ordered that his she-camel be saddled, then he set out, and his companions followed
him saying among themselves." "Definitely he (i.e. the Prophet) is proceeding for some great
purpose." When he halted at the edge of the well, he addressed the corpses of the Quraish infidels by
their names and their fathers' names, "O so-and-so, son of so-and-so and O so-and-so, son of so-andso!
Would it have pleased you if you had obeyed Allah and His Apostle? We have found true what
our Lord promised us. Have you too found true what your Lord promised you? "`Umar said, "O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You are speaking to bodies that have no souls!" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Him in
Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, you do not hear, what I say better than they do." (Qatada said,
"Allah brought them to life (again) to let them hear him, to reprimand them and slight them and take
revenge over them and caused them to feel remorseful and regretful.")

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
regarding the Statement of Allah:--"Those who have changed Allah's Blessings for disbelief..."
(14.28) The people meant here by Allah, are the infidels of Quraish. (`Amr, a sub-narrator said,
"Those are (the infidels of) Quraish and Muhammad is Allah's Blessing. Regarding Allah's
Statement:"..and have led their people Into the house of destruction? (14.29) Ibn `Abbas said, "It
means the Fire they will suffer from (after their death) on the day of Badr."

Narrated Hisham's father:
It was mentioned before `Aisha that Ibn `Umar attributed the following statement to the Prophet (ﷺ) "The
dead person is punished in the grave because of the crying and lamentation Of his family." On that,
`Aisha said, "But Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'The dead person is punished for his crimes and sins while his
family cry over him then." She added, "And this is similar to the statement of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) when he
stood by the (edge of the) well which contained the corpses of the pagans killed at Badr, 'They hear
what I say.' She added, "But he said now they know very well what I used to tell them was the truth."
`Aisha then recited: 'You cannot make the dead hear.' (30.52) and 'You cannot make those who are in
their Graves, hear you.' (35.22) that is, when they had taken their places in the (Hell) Fire.

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
The Prophet (ﷺ) stood at the well of Badr (which contained the corpses of the pagans) and said, "Have
you found true what your lord promised you?" Then he further said, "They now hear what I say." This
was mentioned before `Aisha and she said, "But the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Now they know very well that what
I used to tell them was the truth.' Then she recited (the Holy Verse):-- "You cannot make the dead
hear... ...till the end of Verse)." (30.52)

Narrated Anas:
Haritha was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and he was a young boy then. His mother
came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You know how dear Haritha is to me. If he is in
Paradise, I shall remain patient, and hope for reward from Allah, but if it is not so, then you shall see
what I do?" He said, "May Allah be merciful to you! Have you lost your senses? Do you think there is
only one Paradise? There are many Paradises and your son is in the (most superior) Paradise of Al-
Firdaus."

Narrated `Ali:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent me, Abu Marthad and Az-Zubair, and all of us were riding horses, and said, "Go
till you reach Raudat-Khakh where there is a pagan woman carrying a letter from Hatib bin Abi Balta'
a to the pagans of Mecca." So we found her riding her camel at the place which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had
mentioned. We said (to her),"(Give us) the letter." She said, "I have no letter." Then we made her
camel kneel down and we searched her, but we found no letter. Then we said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had not
told us a lie, certainly. Take out the letter, otherwise we will strip you naked." When she saw that we
were determined, she put her hand below her waist belt, for she had tied her cloak round her waist,
and she took out the letter, and we brought her to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) Then `Umar said, "O Allah's
Apostle! (This Hatib) has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers! Let me cut off his neck!" The
Prophet asked Hatib, "What made you do this?" Hatib said, "By Allah, I did not intend to give up my
belief in Allah and His Apostle but I wanted to have some influence among the (Mecca) people so that
through it, Allah might protect my family and property. There is none of your companions but has
some of his relatives there through whom Allah protects his family and property." The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"He has spoken the truth; do no say to him but good." `Umar said, "He as betrayed Allah, His Apostle
and the faithful believers. Let me cut off his neck!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Is he not one of the Badr
warriors? May be Allah looked at the Badr warriors and said, 'Do whatever you like, as I have granted
Paradise to you, or said, 'I have forgiven you."' On this, tears came out of `Umar's eyes, and he said,
"Allah and His Apostle know better."

Narrated Usaid:
On the day of Badr, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to us, "When the enemy comes near to you, shoot at them but
use your arrows sparingly (so that your arrows should not be wasted).

Narrated Abu Usaid:
On the day of (the battle of) Badr, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to us, "When your enemy comes near to you
(i.e. overcome you by sheer number), shoot at them but use your arrows sparingly."

Narrated Al-Bara' bin `Azib:
On the day of Uhud the Prophet (ﷺ) appointed `Abdullah bin Jubair as chief of the archers, and seventy
among us were injured and martyred. On the day (of the battle) of Badr, the Prophet (ﷺ) and his
companions had inflicted 140 casualties on the pagans, 70 were taken prisoners, and 70 were killed.
Abu Sufyan said, "This is a day of (revenge) for the day of Badr and the issue of war is undecided ."

Narrated Abu Musa:
That the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The good is what Allah gave us later on (after Uhud), and the reward of
truthfulness is what Allah gave us after the day (of the battle) of Badr."

Narrated `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf:
While I was fighting in the front file on the day (of the battle) of Badr, suddenly I looked behind and
saw on my right and left two young boys and did not feel safe by standing between them. Then one of
them asked me secretly so that his companion may not hear, "O Uncle! Show me Abu Jahl." I said, "O
nephew! What will you do to him?" He said, "I have promised Allah that if I see him (i.e. Abu Jahl), I
will either kill him or be killed before I kill him." Then the other said the same to me secretly so that
his companion should not hear. I would not have been pleased to be in between two other men instead
of them. Then I pointed him (i.e. Abu Jahl) out to them. Both of them attacked him like two hawks till
they knocked him down. Those two boys were the sons of 'Afra' (i.e. an Ansari woman).

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent out ten spies under the command of `Asim bin Thabit Al-Ansari, the grand-father
of `Asim bin `Umar Al-Khattab. When they reached (a place called) Al-Hadah between 'Usfan and
Mecca, their presence was made known to a sub-tribe of Hudhail called Banu Lihyan. So they sent
about one hundred archers after them. The archers traced the footsteps (of the Muslims) till they found
the traces of dates which they had eaten at one of their camping places. The archers said, "These dates
are of Yathrib (i.e. Medina)," and went on tracing the Muslims' footsteps. When `Asim and his
companions became aware of them, they took refuge in a (high) place. But the enemy encircled them
and said, "Come down and surrender. We give you a solemn promise and covenant that we will not
kill anyone of you." `Asim bin Thabit said, "O people! As for myself, I will never get down to be
under the protection of an infidel. O Allah! Inform your Prophet about us." So the archers threw their
arrows at them and martyred `Asim. Three of them came down and surrendered to them, accepting
their promise and covenant and they were Khubaib, Zaid bin Ad-Dathina and another man. When the
archers got hold of them, they untied the strings of the arrow bows and tied their captives with them.
The third man said, "This is the first proof of treachery! By Allah, I will not go with you for I follow
the example of these." He meant the martyred companions. The archers dragged him and struggled
with him (till they martyred him). Then Khubaib and Zaid bin Ad-Dathina were taken away by them
and later on they sold them as slaves in Mecca after the event of the Badr battle.
The sons of Al-Harit bin `Amr bin Naufal bought Khubaib for he was a person who had killed (their
father) Al-Hari bin `Amr on the day (of the battle) of Badr. Khubaib remained imprisoned by them till
they decided unanimously to kill him. One day Khubaib borrowed from a daughter of Al-Harith, a
razor for shaving his pubic hair, and she lent it to him. By chance, while she was inattentive, a little
son of hers went to him (i.e. Khubaib) and she saw that Khubaib had seated him on his thigh while the
razor was in his hand. She was so much terrified that Khubaib noticed her fear and said, "Are you
afraid that I will kill him? Never would I do such a thing." Later on (while narrating the story) she
said, "By Allah, I had never seen a better captive than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I saw him eating
from a bunch of grapes in his hand while he was fettered with iron chains and (at that time) there was
no fruit in Mecca." She used to say," It was food Allah had provided Khubaib with."
When they took him to Al-Hil out of Mecca sanctuary to martyr him, Khubaib requested them.
"Allow me to offer a two-rak`at prayer." They allowed him and he prayed two rak`at and then said,
"By Allah! Had I not been afraid that you would think I was worried, I would have prayed more."
Then he (invoked evil upon them) saying, "O Allah! Count them and kill them one by one, and do not
leave anyone of them"' Then he recited: "As I am martyred as a Muslim, I do not care in what way I
receive my death for Allah's Sake, for this is for the Cause of Allah. If He wishes, He will bless the
cut limbs of my body." Then Abu Sarva, 'Ubqa bin Al-Harith went up to him and killed him. It was
Khubaib who set the tradition of praying for any Muslim to be martyred in captivity (before he is
executed). The Prophet (ﷺ) told his companions of what had happened (to those ten spies) on the same
day they were martyred. Some Quraish people, being informed of `Asim bin Thabit's death, sent some
messengers to bring a part of his body so that his death might be known for certain, for he had
previously killed one of their leaders (in the battle of Badr). But Allah sent a swarm of wasps to
protect the dead body of `Asim, and they shielded him from the messengers who could not cut
anything from his body.

Narrated Nafi:
Ibn 'Umar was once told that Said bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail, one of
the Badr warriors, had fallen ill on a Friday. Ibn 'Umar rode to him
late in the forenoon. The time of the Friday prayer approached and Ibn
'Umar did not take part in the Friday prayer.

Narrated Subaia bint Al-Harith:
That she was married to Sad bin Khaula
who was from the tribe of Bani 'Amr bin Luai, and was one of those who
fought the Badr battle. He died while she wa pregnant during
Hajjat-ul-Wada.' Soon after his death, she gave birth to a child. When
she completed the term of deliver (i.e. became clean), she prepared
herself for suitors. Abu As-Sanabil bin Bu'kak, a man from the tribe
of Bani Abd-ud-Dal called on her and said to her, "What! I see you
dressed up for the people to ask you in marriage. Do you want to marry
By Allah, you are not allowed to marry unless four months and ten days
have elapsed (after your husband's death)." Subai'a in her narration
said, "When he (i.e. Abu As-Sanabil) said this to me. I put on my
dress in the evening and went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and asked him about
this problem. He gave the verdict that I was free to marry as I had
already given birth to my child and ordered me to marry if I wished."

Narrated Rifaa:
(who was one of the Badr warriors) Gabriel came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "How do you look upon the
warriors of Badr among yourselves?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "As the best of the Muslims." or said a similar
statement. On that, Gabriel said, "And so are the Angels who participated in the Badr (battle).

Narrated Mu`adh bin Rifa`a bin Rafi`:
Rifa`a was one of the warriors of Badr while (his father) Rafi` was one of the people of Al-`Aqaba
(i.e. those who gave the pledge of allegiance at Al-`Aqaba). Rafi` used to say to his son, "I would not
have been happier if I had taken part in the Badr battle instead of taking part in the 'Aqaba pledge."

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
Abu Sa`id bin Malik Al-Khudri returned from a journey and his family offered him some meat of
sacrifices offered at `Id ul Adha. On that he said, "I will not eat it before asking (whether it is

and asked him about it. Qatada said, "After your departure, an order was issued by the Prophet (ﷺ)
cancelling the prohibition of eating sacrifices after three days."

Narrated `Urwa:
Az-Zubair said, "I met Ubaida bin Sa`id bin Al-As on the day (of the battle) of Badr and he was
covered with armor; so much that only his eyes were visible. He was surnamed Abu Dhat-al-Karish.
He said (proudly), 'I am Abu-al-Karish.' I attacked him with the spear and pierced his eye and he died.
I put my foot over his body to pull (that spear) out, but even then I had to use a great force to take it
out as its both ends were bent." `Urwa said, "Later on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked Az-Zubair for the spear
and he gave it to him. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died, Az-Zubair took it back. After that Abu Bakr
demanded it and he gave it to him, and when Abu Bakr died, Az-Zubair took it back. `Umar then
demanded it from him and he gave it to him. When `Umar died, Az-Zubair took it back, and then
`Uthman demanded it from him and he gave it to him. When `Uthman was martyred, the spear
remained with `Ali's offspring. Then `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair demanded it back, and it remained with
him till he was martyred.

Apostle adopted Salim as his son and married his niece Hind bint Al-Wahd bin `Utba to him' and
Salim was a freed slave of an Ansari woman. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) also adopted Zaid as his son. In the Prelslamic
period of ignorance the custom was that, if one adopted a son, the people would call him by
the name of the adopted-father whom he would inherit as well, till Allah revealed: "Call them
(adopted sons) By (the names of) their fathers." (33.5)

Narrated Ar-Rubai bint Muauwidh:
The Prophet (ﷺ) came to me the night my marriage was consummated and sat down on my bed as you (the
sub-narrator) are sitting now, and small girls were beating the tambourine and singing in lamentation
of my father who had been killed on the day of the battle of Badr. Then one of the girls said, "There is
a Prophet amongst us who knows what will happen tomorrow." The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to her)," Do not say
this, but go on saying what you have spoken before."

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
Abu Talha, a companion of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and one of those who fought at Badr together with Allah's
Apostle told me that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said. "Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a
picture" He meant the images of creatures that have souls.

Narrated `Ali:
I had a she-camel which I got in my share from the booty of the battle of Badr, and the Prophet (ﷺ) had
given me another she camel from the Khumus which Allah had bestowed on him that day. And when I
intended to celebrate my marriage to Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet, I made an arrangement with
a goldsmith from Bani Qainuqa 'that he should go with me to bring Idhkhir (i.e. a kind of grass used
by gold-smiths) which I intended to sell to gold-smiths in order to spend its price on the marriage
banquet. While I was collecting ropes and sacks of pack saddles for my two she-camels which were
kneeling down beside an Ansari's dwelling and after collecting what I needed, I suddenly found that
the humps of the two she-camels had been cut off and their flanks had been cut open and portions of
their livers had been taken out. On seeing that, I could not help weeping.
I asked, "Who has done that?" They (i.e. the people) said, "Hamza bin `Abdul Muttalib has done it. He
is present in this house with some Ansari drinkers, a girl singer, and his friends. The singer said in her
song, "O Hamza, get at the fat she-camels!" On hearing this, Hamza rushed to his sword and cut of the
camels' humps and cut their flanks open and took out portions from their livers." Then I came to the
Prophet, with whom Zaid bin Haritha was present. The Prophet (ﷺ) noticed my state and asked, "What is
the matter?" I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), I have never experienced such a day as today! Hamza attacked
my two she-camels, cut off their humps and cut their flanks open, and he is still present in a house
along some drinkers." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked for his cloak, put it on, and proceeded, followed by Zaid bin
Haritha and myself, till he reached the house where Hamza was. He asked the permission to enter, and
he was permitted. The Prophet (ﷺ) started blaming Hamza for what he had done. Hamza was drunk and
his eyes were red. He looked at the Prophet (ﷺ) then raised his eyes to look at his knees and raised his
eves more to look at his face and then said, "You are not but my father's slaves." When the Prophet (ﷺ)
understood that Hamza was drunk, he retreated, walking backwards went out and we left with him.

Hudhaifa As-Sahrni who was one of the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and had fought in the battle of
Badr and had died in Medina, I met `Uthman bin `Affan and suggested that he should marry Hafsa
saying, "If you wish, I will marry Hafsa bint `Umar to you,' on that, he said, 'I will think it over.' I
waited for a few days and then he said to me. 'I am of the opinion that I shall not marry at present.'
Then I met Abu Bakr and said, 'if you wish, I will marry you, Hafsa bint `Umar.' He kept quiet and did
not give me any reply and I became more angry with him than I was with `Uthman . Some days later,
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) demanded her hand in marriage and I married her to him. Later on Abu Bakr met me
and said, "Perhaps you were angry with me when you offered me Hafsa for marriage and I gave no
reply to you?' I said, 'Yes.' Abu Bakr said, 'Nothing prevented me from accepting your offer except
that I learnt that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had referred to the issue of Hafsa and I did not want to disclose the
secret of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , but had he (i.e. the Prophet) given her up I would surely have accepted her."

the Jizya taxation from its people, for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had made a peace treaty with the people of
Bahrain and appointed Al-`Ala' bin Al-Hadrami as their ruler. So, Abu 'Ubaida arrived with the
money from Bahrain. When the Ansar heard of the arrival of Abu 'Ubaida (on the next day) they
offered the morning prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ) and when the morning prayer had finished, they
presented themselves before him. On seeing the Ansar, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) smiled and said, "I think you
have heard that Abu 'Ubaida has brought something?" They replied, "Indeed, it is so, O Allah's
Apostle!" He said, "Be happy, and hope for what will please you. By Allah, I am not afraid that you
will be poor, but I fear that worldly wealth will be bestowed upon you as it was bestowed upon those
who lived before you. So you will compete amongst yourselves for it, as they competed for it and it
will destroy you as it did them."

then took refuge in a tree and said, "I surrender to Allah (i.e. I have become a Muslim),' could I kill
him, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), after he had said this?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You should not kill him." Al-
Miqdad said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! But he had cut off one of my two hands, and then he had uttered
those words?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "You should not kill him, for if you kill him, he would be in
your position where you had been before killing him, and you would be in his position where he had
been before uttering those words."

their women, children and property among the Muslims, but some of them came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he
granted them safety, and they embraced Islam. He exiled all the Jews from Medina. They were the
Jews of Bani Qainuqa', the tribe of `Abdullah bin Salam and the Jews of Bani Haritha and all the other

and Bani An-Nadir, where upon he started returning their date palms to them.

Buwaira. Allah then revealed: "What you cut down of the date-palm trees (of the enemy) Or you left
them standing on their stems. It was by Allah's Permission." (59.5)

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
The Prophet (ﷺ) burnt the date-palm trees of Bani An-Nadir. Hassan bin Thabit said the following poetic
Verses about this event:-- "the terrible burning of Al-Buwaira Has been received indifferently By the
nobles of Bani Luai (The masters and nobles of Quraish)." Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith (i.e. the
Prophet's cousin who was still a disbeliever then) replied to Hassan, saying in poetic verses:-- "May
Allah bless that burning And set all its (i.e. Medina's) Parts on burning fire. You will see who is far
from it (i.e. Al-Buwaira) And which of our lands will be Harmed by it (i.e. the burning of Al-
Buwaira).

Narrated Malik bin Aus Al-Hadathan An-Nasri:
That once `Umar bin Al-Khattab called him and while he was sitting with him, his gatekeeper, Yarfa
came and said, "Will you admit `Uthman, `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf, AzZubair and Sa`d (bin Abi
Waqqas) who are waiting for your permission?" `Umar said, "Yes, let them come in." After a while,
Yarfa- came again and said, "Will you admit `Ali and `Abbas who are asking your permission?"
`Umar said, "Yes." So, when the two entered, `Abbas said, "O chief of the believers! Judge between
me and this (i.e. `Ali). "Both of them had a dispute regarding the property of Bani An-Nadir which
Allah had given to His Apostle as Fai (i.e. booty gained without fighting), `Ali and `Abbas started
reproaching each other. The (present) people (i.e. `Uthman and his companions) said, "O chief of the
believers! Give your verdict in their case and relieve each from) the other." `Umar said, "Wait I
beseech you, by Allah, by Whose Permission both the heaven and the earth stand fast! Do you know
that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'We (Prophets) our properties are not to be inherited, and whatever we leave,
is to be spent in charity,' and he said it about himself?" They (i.e. `Uthman and his company) said, "He
did say it. "`Umar then turned towards `Ali and `Abbas and said, "I beseech you both, by Allah! Do
you know that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said this?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "Now I am talking
to you about this matter. Allah the Glorified favored His Apostle with something of this Fai (i.e. booty
won without fighting) which He did not give to anybody else. Allah said:--
"And what Allah gave to His Apostle ("Fai"" Booty) from them--For which you made no expedition
With either Calvary or camelry. But Allah gives power to His Apostles Over whomsoever He will
And Allah is able to do all things." (59.6)
So this property was especially granted to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . But by Allah, the Prophet (ﷺ) neither took it
all for himself only, nor deprived you of it, but he gave it to all of you and distributed it amongst you
till only this remained out of it. And from this Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to spend the yearly maintenance
for his family, and whatever used to remain, he used to spend it where Allah's Property is spent (i.e. in
charity), Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept on acting like that during all his life, Then he died, and Abu Bakr said, 'I
am the successor of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).' So he (i.e. Abu Bakr) took charge of this property and disposed
of it in the same manner as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to do, and all of you (at that time) knew all about it."
Then `Umar turned towards `Ali and `Abbas and said, "You both remember that Abu Bakr disposed of
it in the way you have described and Allah knows that, in that matter, he was sincere, pious, rightly
guided and the follower of the right. Then Allah caused Abu Bakr to die and I said, 'I am the successor
of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr.' So I kept this property in my possession for the first two years of
my rule (i.e. Caliphate and I used to dispose of it in the same wa as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr
used to do; and Allah knows that I have been sincere, pious, rightly guided an the follower of the right
(in this matte Later on both of you (i.e. `Ali and `Abbas) came to me, and the claim of you both was
one and the same, O `Abbas! You also came to me. So I told you both that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Our
property is not inherited, but whatever we leave is to be given in charity.'
Then when I thought that I should better hand over this property to you both or the condition that you
will promise and pledge before Allah that you will dispose it off in the same way as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
and Abu Bakr did and as I have done since the beginning of my caliphate or else you should not speak
to me (about it).' So, both of you said to me, 'Hand it over to us on this condition.' And on this
condition I handed it over to you. Do you want me now to give a decision other than that (decision)?
By Allah, with Whose Permission both the sky and the earth stand fast, I will never give any decision
other than that (decision) till the Last Hour is established.
But if you are unable to manage it (i.e. that property), then return it to me, and I will manage on your
behalf." The sub-narrator said, "I told `Urwa bin Az-Zubair of this Hadith and he said, 'Malik bin Aus
has told the truth" I heard `Aisha, the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'The wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) sent
`Uthman to Abu Bakr demanding from him their 1/8 of the Fai which Allah had granted to his
Apostle. But I used to oppose them and say to them: Will you not fear Allah? Don't you know that the
Prophet used to say: Our property is not inherited, but whatever we leave is to be given in charity?
The Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned that regarding himself. He added: 'The family of Muhammad can take their
sustenance from this property. So the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) stopped demanding it when I told them of
that.' So, this property (of Sadaqa) was in the hands of `Ali who withheld it from `Abbas and
overpowered him. Then it came in the hands of Hasan bin `Ali, then in the hands of Husain bin `Ali,
and then in the hands of `Ali bin Husain and Hasan bin Hasan, and each of the last two used to
manage it in turn, then it came in the hands of Zaid bin Hasan, and it was truly the Sadaqa of Allah's
Apostle ."

Narrated `Aisha:
Fatima and Al-`Abbas came to Abu Bakr, claiming their inheritance of the Prophet's land of Fadak
and his share from Khaibar. Abu Bakr said, "I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'Our property is not inherited,
and whatever we leave is to be given in charity. But the family of Muhammad can take their
sustenance from this property.' By Allah, I would love to do good to the Kith and kin of Allah's
Apostle rather than to my own Kith and kin."

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Who is willing to kill Ka`b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?"
Thereupon Muhammad bin Maslama got up saying, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Would you like that I kill
him?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes," Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Then allow me to say a (false) thing
(i.e. to deceive Ka`b). "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You may say it." Then Muhammad bin Maslama went to
Ka`b and said, "That man (i.e. Muhammad demands Sadaqa (i.e. Zakat) from us, and he has troubled
us, and I have come to borrow something from you." On that, Ka`b said, "By Allah, you will get tired
of him!" Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Now as we have followed him, we do not want to leave him
unless and until we see how his end is going to be. Now we want you to lend us a camel load or two
of food." (Some difference between narrators about a camel load or two.) Ka`b said, "Yes, (I will lend
you), but you should mortgage something to me."
Muhammad bin Mas-lama and his companion said, "What do you want?" Ka`b replied, "Mortgage
your women to me." They said, "How can we mortgage our women to you and you are the most
handsome of the 'Arabs?" Ka`b said, "Then mortgage your sons to me." They said, "How can we
mortgage our sons to you? Later they would be abused by the people's saying that so-and-so has been
mortgaged for a camel load of food. That would cause us great disgrace, but we will mortgage our
arms to you." Muhammad bin Maslama and his companion promised Ka`b that Muhammad would
return to him. He came to Ka`b at night along with Ka`b's foster brother, Abu Na'ila. Ka`b invited
them to come into his fort, and then he went down to them. His wife asked him, "Where are you going
at this time?" Ka`b replied, "None but Muhammad bin Maslama and my (foster) brother Abu Na'ila
have come."
His wife said, "I hear a voice as if dropping blood is from him, Ka`b said. "They are none but my
brother Muhammad bin Maslama and my foster brother Abu Naila. A generous man should respond to
a call at night even if invited to be killed." Muhammad bin Maslama went with two men. (Some
narrators mention the men as 'Abu bin Jabr. Al Harith bin Aus and `Abbad bin Bishr). So
Muhammad bin Maslama went in together with two men, and sail to them, "When Ka`b comes, I will
touch his hair and smell it, and when you see that I have got hold of his head, strip him. I will let you
smell his head." Ka`b bin Al-Ashraf came down to them wrapped in his clothes, and diffusing
perfume. Muhammad bin Maslama said. " have never smelt a better scent than this. Ka`b replied. "I
have got the best 'Arab women who know how to use the high class of perfume." Muhammad bin
Maslama requested Ka`b "Will you allow me to smell your head?" Ka`b said, "Yes." Muhammad
smelt it and made his companions smell it as well. Then he requested Ka`b again, "Will you let me
(smell your head)?" Ka`b said, "Yes." When Muhammad got a strong hold of him, he said (to his
companions), "Get at him!" So they killed him and went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and informed him. (Abu Rafi`)
was killed after Ka`b bin Al-Ashraf."

Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent a group of persons to Abu Rafi`. `Abdullah bin Atik entered his house at night,
while he was sleeping, and killed him.

Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent some men from the Ansar to ((kill) Abu Rafi`, the Jew, and appointed `Abdullah
bin Atik as their leader. Abu Rafi` used to hurt Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and help his enemies against him. He
lived in his castle in the land of Hijaz. When those men approached (the castle) after the sun had set
and the people had brought back their livestock to their homes. `Abdullah (bin Atik) said to his
companions, "Sit down at your places. I am going, and I will try to play a trick on the gate-keeper so
that I may enter (the castle)."
So `Abdullah proceeded towards the castle, and when he approached the gate, he covered himself with
his clothes, pretending to answer the call of nature. The people had gone in, and the gate-keeper
(considered `Abdullah as one of the castle's servants) addressing him saying, "O Allah's Servant!
Enter if you wish, for I want to close the gate." `Abdullah added in his story, "So I went in (the castle)
and hid myself. When the people got inside, the gate-keeper closed the gate and hung the keys on a
fixed wooden peg. I got up and took the keys and opened the gate. Some people were staying late at
night with Abu Rafi` for a pleasant night chat in a room of his. When his companions of nightly
entertainment went away, I ascended to him, and whenever I opened a door, I closed it from inside. I
said to myself, 'Should these people discover my presence, they will not be able to catch me till I have
killed him.'
So I reached him and found him sleeping in a dark house amidst his family, I could not recognize his
location in the house. So I shouted, 'O Abu Rafi`!' Abu Rafi` said, 'Who is it?' I proceeded towards the
source of the voice and hit him with the sword, and because of my perplexity, I could not kill him. He
cried loudly, and I came out of the house and waited for a while, and then went to him again and said,
'What is this voice, O Abu Rafi`?' He said, 'Woe to your mother! A man in my house has hit me with a
sword! I again hit him severely but I did not kill him. Then I drove the point of the sword into his
belly (and pressed it through) till it touched his back, and I realized that I have killed him.
I then opened the doors one by one till I reached the staircase, and thinking that I had reached the
ground, I stepped out and fell down and got my leg broken in a moonlit night. I tied my leg with a
turban and proceeded on till I sat at the gate, and said, 'I will not go out tonight till I know that I have
killed him.' So, when (early in the morning) the cock crowed, the announcer of the casualty stood on
the wall saying, 'I announce the death of Abu Rafi`, the merchant of Hijaz. Thereupon I went to my
companions and said, 'Let us save ourselves, for Allah has killed Abu Rafi`,' So I (along with my
companions proceeded and) went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and described the whole story to him. "He said,
'Stretch out your (broken) leg. I stretched it out and he rubbed it and it became All right as if I had
never had any ailment whatsoever."

Narrated Al-Bara:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent `Abdullah bin 'Atik and `Abdullah bin `Utba with a group of men to Abu Rafi`
(to kill him). They proceeded till they approached his castle, whereupon `Abdullah bin Atik said to
them, "Wait (here), and in the meantime I will go and see." `Abdullah said later on, "I played a trick in
order to enter the castle. By chance, they lost a donkey of theirs and came out carrying a flaming light
to search for it. I was afraid that they would recognize me, so I covered my head and legs and
pretended to answer the call to nature. The gatekeeper called, 'Whoever wants to come in, should
come in before I close the gate.' So I went in and hid myself in a stall of a donkey near the gate of the
castle. They took their supper with Abu Rafi` and had a chat till late at night. Then they went back to
their homes.
When the voices vanished and I no longer detected any movement, I came out. I had seen where the
gate-keeper had kept the key of the castle in a hole in the wall. I took it and unlocked the gate of the
castle, saying to myself, 'If these people should notice me, I will run away easily.' Then I locked all
the doors of their houses from outside while they were inside, and ascended to Abu Rafi` by a
staircase. I saw the house in complete darkness with its light off, and I could not know where the man
was. So I called, 'O Abu Rafi`!' He replied, 'Who is it?' I proceeded towards the voice and hit him. He
cried loudly but my blow was futile. Then I came to him, pretending to help him, saying with a
different tone of my voice, ' What is wrong with you, O Abu Rafi`?' He said, 'Are you not surprised?
Woe on your mother! A man has come to me and hit me with a sword!' So again I aimed at him and
hit him, but the blow proved futile again, and on that Abu Rafi` cried loudly and his wife got up.
I came again and changed my voice as if I were a helper, and found Abu Rafi` lying straight on his
back, so I drove the sword into his belly and bent on it till I heard the sound of a bone break. Then I
came out, filled with astonishment and went to the staircase to descend, but I fell down from it and got
my leg dislocated. I bandaged it and went to my companions limping. I said (to them), 'Go and tell
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) of this good news, but I will not leave (this place) till I hear the news of his (i.e. Abu
Rafi`'s) death.' When dawn broke, an announcer of death got over the wall and announced, 'I convey
to you the news of Abu Rafi`'s death.' I got up and proceeded without feeling any pain till I caught up
with my companions before they reached the Prophet (ﷺ) to whom I conveyed the good news."

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
On the day of Uhud. the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "This is Gabriel holding the head of his horse and equipped
with war material.'

Narrated `Uqba bin Amir:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) offered the funeral prayers of the martyrs of Uhud eight years after (their death), as if
bidding farewell to the living and the dead, then he ascended the pulpit and said, "I am your
predecessor before you, and I am a witness on you, and your promised place to meet me will be Al-
Haud (i.e. the Tank) (on the Day of Resurrection), and I am (now) looking at it from this place of
mine. I am not afraid that you will worship others besides Allah, but I am afraid that worldly life will
tempt you and cause you to compete with each other for it." That was the last look which I cast on
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).

Narrated Al-Bara:
We faced the pagans on that day (of the battle of Uhud) and the Prophet (ﷺ) placed a batch of archers (at a
special place) and appointed `Abdullah (bin Jubair) as their commander and said, "Do not leave this
place; if you should see us conquering the enemy, do not leave this place, and if you should see
them conquering us, do not (come to) help us," So, when we faced the enemy, they took to their heels
till I saw their women running towards the mountain, lifting up their clothes from their legs, revealing
their leg-bangles. The Muslims started saying, "The booty, the booty!" `Abdullah bin Jubair said,
"The Prophet (ﷺ) had taken a firm promise from me not to leave this place." But his companions refused
(to stay). So when they refused (to stay there), (Allah) confused them so that they could not know
where to go, and they suffered seventy casualties. Abu Sufyan ascended a high place and said, "Is
Muhammad present amongst the people?"
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do not answer him." Abu Sufyan said, "Is the son of Abu Quhafa present among
the people?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do not answer him." `Abu Sufyan said, "Is the son of Al-Khattab
amongst the people?" He then added, "All these people have been killed, for, were they alive, they
would have replied." On that, `Umar could not help saying, "You are a liar, O enemy of Allah! Allah
has kept what will make you unhappy." Abu Sufyan said, "Superior may be Hubal!" On that the
Prophet said (to his companions), "Reply to him." They asked, "What may we say?" He said, "Say:
Allah is More Elevated and More Majestic!" Abu Sufyan said, "We have (the idol) Al-`Uzza, whereas
you have no `Uzza!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to his companions), "Reply to him." They said, "What may we
say?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Say: Allah is our Helper and you have no helper." Abu Sufyan said, "(This)
day compensates for our loss at Badr and (in) the battle (the victory) is always undecided and shared
in turns by the belligerents. You will see some of your dead men mutilated, but neither did I urge this
action, nor am I sorry for it." Narrated Jabir: Some people took wine in the morning of the day of
Uhud and were then killed as martyrs.

Narrated Sa`d bin Ibrahim:
A meal was brought to `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf while he was fasting. He said, "Mus`ab bin `Umar
was martyred, and he was better than I, yet he was shrouded in a Burda (i.e. a sheet) so that, if his
head was covered, his feet became naked, and if his feet were covered, his head became naked."
`Abdur-Rahman added, "Hamza was martyred and he was better than 1. Then worldly wealth was
bestowed upon us and we were given thereof too much. We are afraid that the reward of our deeds
have been given to us in this life." `Abdur-Rahman then started weeping so much that he left the food.

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
On the day of the battle of Uhud, a man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "Can you tell me where I will
be if I should get martyred?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "In Paradise." The man threw away some dates he
was carrying in his hand, and fought till he was martyred .

Narrated Khabbab bin Al-Art:
We migrated in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), seeking Allah's
Pleasure. So our reward became due and sure with Allah. Some of us
have been dead without enjoying anything of their rewards (here), and
one of them was Mus'ab bin 'Umar who was martyred on the day of the
battle of Uhud, and did not leave anything except a Namira (i.e. a
sheet in which he was shrouded). If we covered his head with it, his
feet became naked, and if we covered his feet with it, his head became
naked. So the Prophet (ﷺ) said to us, "Cover his head with it and put some
Idhkhir (i.e. a kind of grass) over his feet or throw Idhkhir over his
feet." But some amongst us have got the fruits of their labor ripened,
and they are collecting them.

Narrated Anas:
His uncle (Anas bin An-Nadr) was absent from the battle
of Badr and he said, "I was absent from the first battle of the
Prophet (i.e. Badr battle), and if Allah should let me participate in
(a battle) with the Prophet, Allah will see how strongly I will
fight." So he encountered the day of Uhud battle. The Muslims fled and
he said, "O Allah ! I appeal to You to excuse me for what these people
(i.e. the Muslims) have done, and I am clear from what the pagans have
done." Then he went forward with his sword and met Sad bin Mu'adh
(fleeing), and asked him, "Where are you going, O Sad? I detect a
smell of Paradise before Uhud." Then he proceeded on and was martyred.
No-body was able to recognize him till his sister recognized him by a
mole on his body or by the tips of his fingers. He had over 80 wounds
caused by stabbing, striking or shooting with arrows.

Narrated Zaid bin Thabit:
When we wrote the Holy Qur'an, I missed one of the Verses of Surat-al-Ahzab which I used to hear
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) reciting. Then we searched for it and found it with Khuza`ima bin Thabit Al-Ansari.
The Verse was:--
'Among the Believers are men Who have been true to Their Covenant with Allah, Of them, some have
fulfilled Their obligations to Allah (i.e. they have been Killed in Allah's Cause), And some of them
are (still) waiting" (33.23) So we wrote this in its place in the Qur'an.

Narrated Zaid bin Thabit:
When the Prophet (ﷺ) set out for (the battle of) Uhud, some of those who had gone out with him, returned.
The companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) were divided into two groups. One group said, "We will fight them
(i.e. the enemy)," and the other group said, "We will not fight them." So there came the Divine
Revelation:-- '(O Muslims!) Then what is the matter within you that you are divided. Into two parties
about the hypocrites? Allah has cast them back (to disbelief) Because of what they have earned.'
(4.88) On that, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "That is Taiba (i.e. the city of Medina) which clears one from one's
sins as the fire expels the impurities of silver."

Narrated Jabir:
This Verse: "When two of your parties almost Decided to fall away..." was revealed in our connection,
i.e. Bani Salama and Bani Haritha and I would not have liked that, if it was not revealed, for Allah
said:-- But Allah was their Protector.....(3.122)

Narrated Jabir:
"Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, "Have you got married O Jabir?" I replied, "Yes." He asked "What, a
virgin or a matron?" I replied, "Not a virgin but a matron." He said, "Why did you not marry a young
girl who would have fondled with you?" I replied, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! My father was martyred on the
day of Uhud and left nine (orphan) daughters who are my nine sisters; so I disliked to have another
young girl of their age, but (I sought) an (elderly) woman who could comb their hair and look after
them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You have done the right thing."

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
That his father was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud and was in debt and left six (orphan)
daughters. Jabir, added, "When the season of plucking the dates came, I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and
said, "You know that my father was martyred on the day of Uhud, and he was heavily in debt, and I
would like that the creditors should see you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go and pile every kind of dates
apart." I did so and called him (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) ). When the creditors saw him, they started claiming
their debts from me then in such a harsh manner (as they had never done before). So when he saw
their attitude, he went round the biggest heap of dates thrice, and then sat over it and said, 'O Jabir),
call your companions (i.e. the creditors).' Then he kept on measuring (and giving) to the creditors
(their due) till Allah paid all the debt of my father. I would have been satisfied to retain nothing of
those dates for my sisters after Allah had paid the debts of my father. But Allah saved all the heaps (of
dates), so that when I looked at the heap where the Prophet (ﷺ) had been sitting, it seemed as if a single
date had not been taken away thereof."

Narrated Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas:
I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the day of the battle of Uhud accompanied by two men fighting on his
behalf. They were dressed in white and were fighting as bravely as possible. I had never seen them
before, nor did I see them later on.

Narrated Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) took out a quiver (of arrows) for me on the day of Uhud and said, "Throw (arrows); let
my father and mother be sacrificed for you."

Narrated Sa`d:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) mentioned both his father and mother for me on the day of the battle of Uhud.

Narrated Ibn Al Musaiyab:
Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) mentioned both his father and mother for me on the day
of the battle of Uhud." He meant when the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to Sa`d) while the latter was fighting. "Let
my father and mother be sacrificed for you!"

Narrated `Ali:
I have never heard the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioning both his father and mother for anybody other than Sa`d.

Narrated `Ali:
I have never heard the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioning his father and mother for anybody other than Sa`d bin
Malik. I heard him saying on the day of Uhud, "O Sa`d throw (arrows)! Let my father and mother be
sacrificed for you !"

Narrated Mu'tamir's father:
`Uthman said that on the day of the battle of Uhud, none remained with the Prophet (ﷺ) but Talha and
Sa`d.

Narrated As-Saib bin Yazid:
I have been in the company of `AbdurRahman bin `Auf, Talha bin 'Ubaidullah, Al-Miqdad and Sa`d,
and I heard none of them narrating anything from the Prophet (ﷺ) excepting the fact that I heard Talha
narrating about the day of Uhud (battle) .

Narrated Qais:
I saw Talha's paralyzed hand with which he had protected the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day of Uhud.

Narrated Anas:
When it was the day of Uhud, the people left the Prophet (ﷺ) while Abu Talha was in front of the Prophet (ﷺ)
shielding him with his leather shield. Abu Talha was a skillful archer who used to shoot violently. He
broke two or three arrow bows on that day. If a man carrying a quiver full of arrows passed by, the
Prophet would say (to him), put (scatter) its contents for Abu Talha." The Prophet (ﷺ) would raise his
head to look at the enemy, whereupon Abu Talha would say, "Let my father and mother be sacrificed
for you ! Do not raise your head, lest an arrow of the enemy should hit you. (Let) my neck (be struck)
rather than your neck." I saw `Aisha, the daughter of Abu Bakr, and Um Sulaim rolling up their
dresses so that I saw their leg-bangles while they were carrying water skins on their backs and
emptying them in the mouths of the (wounded) people. They would return to refill them and again
empty them in the mouths of the (wounded) people. The sword fell from Abu Talha's hand twice or
thrice (on that day).

Narrated `Aisha:
When it was the day of Uhud, the pagans were defeated. Then Satan, Allah's Curse be upon him, cried
loudly, "O Allah's Worshippers, beware of what is behind!" On that, the front files of the (Muslim)
forces turned their backs and started fighting with the back files. Hudhaifa looked, and on seeing his
father Al-Yaman, he shouted, "O Allah's Worshippers, my father, my father!" But by Allah, they did
not stop till they killed him. Hudhaifa said, "May Allah forgive you." (The sub-narrator, `Urwa, said,
"By Allah, Hudhaifa continued asking Allah's Forgiveness for the killers of his father till he departed
to Allah (i.e. died).")

Narrated `Uthman bin Mauhab:
A man came to perform the Hajj to (Allah's) House. Seeing some people sitting, he said, "Who are
these sitting people?" Somebody said, "They are the people of Quraish." He said, "Who is the old
man?" They said, "Ibn `Umar." He went to him and said, "I want to ask you about something; will you
tell me about it? I ask you with the respect due to the sanctity of this (Sacred) House, do you know
that `Uthman bin `Affan fled on the day of Uhud?" Ibn `Umar said, "Yes." He said, "Do you know
that he (i.e. `Uthman) was absent from the Badr (battle) and did not join it?" Ibn `Umar said, "Yes."
He said, "Do you know that he failed to be present at the Ridwan Pledge of allegiance (i.e. Pledge of
allegiance at Hudaibiya) and did not witness it?" Ibn `Umar replied, "Yes," He then said, "Allahu-
Akbar!" Ibn `Umar said, "Come along; I will inform you and explain to you what you have asked. As
for the flight (of `Uthman) on the day of Uhud, I testify that Allah forgave him. As regards his
absence from the Badr (battle), he was married to the daughter of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and she was ill, so
the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, 'You will have such reward as a man who has fought the Badr battle will get,
and will also have the same share of the booty.' As for his absence from the Ridwan Pledge of
allegiance if there had been anybody more respected by the Meccans than `Uthman bin `Affan, the
Prophet would surely have sent that man instead of `Uthman. So the Prophet (ﷺ) sent him (i.e. `Uthman to
Mecca) and the Ridwan Pledge of allegiance took place after `Uthman had gone to Mecca. The
Prophet raised his right hand saying. 'This is the hand of `Uthman,' and clapped it over his other hand
and said, "This is for `Uthman.'" Ibn `Umar then said (to the man), "Go now, after taking this
information."

Narrated Al-Bara' bin `Azib:
The Prophet (ﷺ) appointed `Abdullah bin Jubair as the commander of the cavalry archers on the day of the
battle of Uhud. Then they returned defeated, and that what is referred to by Allah's Statement:-- "And
the Apostle (Muhammad) was in your rear calling you back." (3.153)

Abu Talha (ra) said:
I was amongst those who were overtaken by slumber until my sword fell from my hand on several occasions. The sword fell and I picked it up, and it fell again, and I picked it up."

Narrated Salim's father:
That he heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), when raising his head from bowing of the first rak`a of the morning
prayer, saying, "O Allah! Curse so-and-so and so-and-so" after he had said, "Allah hears him who
sends his praises to Him. Our Lord, all the Praises are for you!" So Allah revealed:-- "Not for you (O
Muhammad! )......(till the end of Verse) they are indeed wrong-doers." (3.128)

Salim bin `Abdullah
said' "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to invoke evil upon Safwan bin Umaiya, Suhail bin `Amr and Al-Harith
bin Hisham. So the Verse was revealed:
-- "Not for you (O Muhammad!)......(till the end of Verse) For
they are indeed wrong-doers." (3.128)

Narrated Tha`laba bin Abi Malik:
`Umar bin Al-Khattab distributed woolen clothes amongst some women of Medina, and a nice woolen
garment remained. Some of those who were sitting with him, said, "O chief of the believers! Give it to
the daughter of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who is with you," and by that, they meant Um Kulthum, the daughter
of `Ali. `Umar said, "Um Salit has got more right than she." Um Salit was amongst those Ansari
women who had given the pledge of allegiance to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . `Umar added, "She (i.e. Um Salit)
used to carry the filled water skins for us on the day of the battle of Uhud."

Narrated Jafar bin `Amr bin Umaiya:
I went out with 'Ubaidullah bin `Adi Al-Khaiyar. When we reached Hims (i.e. a town in Syria),
'Ubaidullah bin `Adi said (to me), "Would you like to see Wahshi so that we may ask him about the
killing of Hamza?" I replied, "Yes." Wahshi used to live in Hims. We enquired about him and
somebody said to us, "He is that in the shade of his palace, as if he were a full water skin." So we went
up to him, and when we were at a short distance from him, we greeted him and he greeted us in return.
'Ubaidullah was wearing his turban and Wahshi could not see except his eyes and feet. 'Ubaidullah
said, "O Wahshi! Do you know me?" Wahshi looked at him and then said, "No, by Allah! But I know
that `Adi bin Al-Khiyar married a woman called Um Qital, the daughter of Abu Al-Is, and she
delivered a boy for him at Mecca, and I looked for a wet nurse for that child. (Once) I carried that
child along with his mother and then I handed him over to her, and your feet resemble that child's
feet." Then 'Ubaidullah uncovered his face and said (to Wahshi), "Will you tell us (the story of) the
killing of Hamza?" Wahshi replied "Yes, Hamza killed Tuaima bin `Adi bin Al-Khaiyar at Badr
(battle) so my master, Jubair bin Mut`im said to me, 'If you kill Hamza in revenge for my uncle, then
you will be set free."
When the people set out (for the battle of Uhud) in the year of 'Ainain ..'Ainain is a mountain near the
mountain of Uhud, and between it and Uhud there is a valley.. I went out with the people for the
battle. When the army aligned for the fight, Siba' came out and said, 'Is there any (Muslim) to accept
my challenge to a duel?' Hamza bin `Abdul Muttalib came out and said, 'O Siba'. O Ibn Um Anmar,
the one who circumcises other ladies! Do you challenge Allah and His Apostle?' Then Hamza
attacked and killed him, causing him to be non-extant like the bygone yesterday. I hid myself under a
rock, and when he (i.e. Hamza) came near me, I threw my spear at him, driving it into his umbilicus
so that it came out through his buttocks, causing him to die. When all the people returned to Mecca, I
too returned with them. I stayed in (Mecca) till Islam spread in it (i.e. Mecca). Then I left for Taif, and
when the people (of Taif) sent their messengers to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), I was told that the Prophet (ﷺ) did not
harm the messengers; So I too went out with them till I reached Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).
When he saw me, he said, 'Are you Wahshi?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Was it you who killed Hamza?' I
replied, 'What happened is what you have been told of.' He said, 'Can you hide your face from me?' So
I went out when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died, and Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab appeared (claiming to be a
prophet). I said, 'I will go out to Musailamah so that I may kill him, and make amends for killing
Hamza. So I went out with the people (to fight Musailamah and his followers) and then famous events
took place concerning that battle. Suddenly I saw a man (i.e. Musailamah) standing near a gap in a
wall. He looked like an ash-colored camel and his hair was dishevelled. So I threw my spear at him,
driving it into his chest in between his breasts till it passed out through his shoulders, and then an
Ansari man attacked him and struck him on the head with a sword. `Abdullah bin `Umar said, 'A slave
girl on the roof of a house said: Alas! The chief of the believers (i.e. Musailamah) has been killed by a
black slave."

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (pointing to his broken canine tooth) said, "Allah's Wrath has become severe on the
people who harmed His Prophet. Allah's Wrath has become severe on the man who is killed by the
Apostle of Allah in Allah's Cause."

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
Allah's Wrath became severe on him whom the Prophet (ﷺ) had killed in Allah's Cause. Allah's Wrath
became severe on the people who caused the face of Allah's Prophet to bleed.

Narrated Abu Hazim:
That he heard Sahl bin Sa`d being asked about the wounds of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "By Allah, I
know who washed the wounds of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and who poured water (for washing them), and with
what he was treated." Sahl added, "Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to wash the wounds,
and `Ali bin Abi Talib used to pour water from a shield. When Fatima saw that the water aggravated
the bleeding, she took a piece of a mat, burnt it, and inserted its ashes into the wound so that the blood
was congealed (and bleeding stopped). His canine tooth got broken on that day, and face was
wounded, and his helmet was broken on his head."

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
Allah's Wrath gets severe on a person killed by a prophet, and Allah's Wrath became severe on him
who had caused the face of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to bleed.

Narrated `Aisha:
Regarding the Holy Verse: "Those who responded (To the call) of Allah And the Apostle
(Muhammad), After being wounded, For those of them Who did good deeds And refrained from
wrong, there is a great reward." (3.172)
She said to `Urwa, "O my nephew! Your father, Az-Zubair and Abu Bakr were amongst them (i.e.
those who responded to the call of Allah and the Apostle on the day (of the battle of Uhud). When
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), suffered what he suffered on the day of Uhud and the pagans left, the Prophet (ﷺ) was
afraid that they might return. So he said, 'Who will go on their (i.e. pagans') track?' He then selected
seventy men from amongst them (for this purpose)." (The sub-narrator added, "Abu Bakr and Az-
Zubair were amongst them.")

Narrated Qatada:
We do not know of any tribe amongst the 'Arab tribes who lost more martyrs than Al-Ansar, and they
will have superiority on the Day of Resurrection. Anas bin Malik told us that seventy from the Ansar
were martyred on the day of Uhud, and seventy on the day (of the battle of) Bir Ma'una, and seventy
on the day of Al-Yamama. Anas added, "The battle of Bir Ma'una took place during the lifetime of
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and the battle of Al-Yamama, during the caliphate of Abu Bakr, and it was the day
when Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab was killed."

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to shroud two martyrs of Uhud in one sheet and then say, "Which of them knew
Qur'an more?" When one of the two was pointed out, he would put him first in the grave. Then he
said, "I will be a witness for them on the Day of Resurrection." He ordered them to be buried with
their blood (on their bodies). Neither was the funeral prayer offered for them, nor were they washed.
Jabir added, "When my father was martyred, I started weeping and uncovering his face. The
companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) stopped me from doing so but the Prophet (ﷺ) did not stop me. Then the
Prophet said, '(O Jabir.) don't weep over him, for the angels kept on covering him with their wings till
his body was carried away (for burial).

Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I saw in a dream that I moved a sword and its blade got broken, and that
symbolized the casualties which the believers suffered on the day of Uhud. Then I moved it again, and
it became as perfect as it had been, and that symbolized the Conquest (of Mecca) which Allah helped
us to achieve, and the union of all the believers. I (also) saw cows in the dream, and what Allah does
is always beneficial. Those cows appeared to symbolize the faithful believers (who were martyred) on
the day of Uhud."

Narrated Khabbab:
We migrated with the Prophet (ﷺ) for Allah's Cause, so our reward became due with Allah. Some of us
passed away (i.e. died) without enjoying anything from their reward, and one of them was Mus`ab bin
`Umar who was killed (i.e. martyred) on the day of Uhud. He did not leave behind except a sheet of
striped woolen cloth. If we covered his head with it, his feet became naked, and if we covered his feet
with it, his head became naked. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to us, "Cover his head with it and put Idhkhir (i.e. a
kind of grass) over his feet," or said, "Put some Idhkhir over his feet." But some of us have got their
fruits ripened, and they are collecting them.

Narrated Anas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "This is a mountain that loves us and is loved by us."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
When the mountain of Uhud appeared before Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) he said, "This IS a mountain that loves
us and is loved by us. O, Allah! Abraham made Mecca a Sanctuary, and I have made Medina (i.e. the
area between its two mountains) a Sanctuary as well."

Narrated `Uqba:
One day the Prophet (ﷺ) went out and offered the (funeral) prayer for the people (i.e. martyrs) of Uhud as
he used to offer a funeral prayer for any dead person, and then (after returning) he ascended the pulpit
and said, "I am your predecessor before you, and I am a witness upon you, and I am looking at my
Tank just now, and I have been given the keys of the treasures of the world (or the keys of the world).
By Allah, I am not afraid that you will worship others besides Allah after me, but I am afraid that you
will compete with each other for (the pleasures of) this world."

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) sent a Sariya of spies and appointed `Asim bin Thabit, the grandfather of `Asim bin
`Umar bin Al-Khattab, as their leader. So they set out, and when they reached (a place) between
'Usfan and Mecca, they were mentioned to one of the branch tribes of Bani Hudhail called Lihyan. So,
about one-hundred archers followed their traces till they (i.e. the archers) came to a journey station
where they (i.e. `Asim and his companions) had encamped and found stones of dates they had brought
as journey food from Medina.
The archers said, "These are the dates of Medina," and followed their traces till they took them over.
When `Asim and his companions were not able to go ahead, they went up a high place, and their
pursuers encircled them and said, "You have a covenant and a promise that if you come down to us,
we will not kill anyone of you." `Asim said, "As for me, I will never come down on the security of an
infidel. O Allah! Inform Your Prophet about us." So they fought with them till they killed `Asim along
with seven of his companions with arrows, and there remained Khubaib, Zaid and another man to
whom they gave a promise and a covenant. So when the infidels gave them the covenant and promise,
they came down. When they captured them, they opened the strings of their arrow bows and tied them
with it. The third man who was with them said, "This is the first breach in the covenant," and refused
to accompany them. They dragged him and tried to make him accompany them, but he refused, and
they killed him. Then they proceeded on taking Khubaib and Zaid till they sold them in Mecca. The
sons of Al-Harith bin `Amr bin Naufal bought Khubaib. It was Khubaib who had killed Al-Harith bin
`Amr on the day of Badr. Khubaib stayed with them for a while as a captive till they decided
unanimously to kill him. (At that time) Khubaib borrowed a razor from one of the daughters of Al-
Harith to shave his pubic hair. She gave it to him. She said later on, "I was heedless of a little baby of
mine, who moved towards Khubaib, and when it reached him, he put it on his thigh.
When I saw it, I got scared so much that Khubaib noticed my distress while he was carrying the razor
in his hand. He said 'Are you afraid that I will kill it? Allah willing, I will never do that,' " Later on she
used to say, "I have never seen a captive better than Khubaib Once I saw him eating from a bunch of
grapes although at that time no fruits were available at Mecca, and he was fettered with iron chains,
and in fact, it was nothing but food bestowed upon him by Allah." So they took him out of the
Sanctuary (of Mecca) to kill him. He said, "Allow me to offer a two-rak`at prayer." Then he went to
them and said, "Had I not been afraid that you would think I was afraid of death, I would have prayed
for a longer time." So it was Khubaib who first set the tradition of praying two rak`at before being
executed. He then said, "O Allah! Count them one by one," and added, 'When I am being martyred as
a Muslim, I do not care in what way I receive my death for Allah's Sake, because this death is in
Allah's Cause. If He wishes, He will bless the cut limbs." Then `Uqba bin Al-Harith got up and
martyred him. The narrator added: The Quraish (infidels) sent some people to `Asim in order to bring
a part of his body so that his death might be known for certain, for `Asim had killed one of their chiefs
on the day of Badr. But Allah sent a cloud of wasps which protected his body from their messengers
who could not harm his body consequently.

Narrated Jabir:
The person who killed Khubaib was Abu Sarua (i.e. `Uqba bin Al-Harith).

Narrated `Abdul `Aziz:
Anas said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) sent seventy men, called Al-Qurra 'for some purpose. The two groups of Bani
Sulaim called Ri'l and Dhakwan, appeared to them near a well called Bir Ma'una. The people (i.e. Al-
Qurra) said, 'By Allah, we have not come to harm you, but we are passing by you on our way to do
something for the Prophet.' But (the infidels) killed them. The Prophet (ﷺ) therefore invoked evil upon
them for a month during the morning prayer. That was the beginning of Al Qunut and we used not to
say Qunut before that." A man asked Anas about Al-Qunut, "Is it to be said after the Bowing (in the
prayer) or after finishing the Recitation (i.e. before Bowing)?" Anas replied, "No, but (it is to be said)
after finishing the Recitation."

Narrated Anas:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said Al-Qunut for one month after the posture of Bowing, invoking evil upon some
'Arab tribes.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
(The tribes of) Ril, Dhakwan, 'Usaiya and Bani Lihyan asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to provide them with
some men to support them against their enemy. He therefore provided them with seventy men from
the Ansar whom we used to call Al-Qurra' in their lifetime. They used to collect wood by daytime and
pray at night. When they were at the well of Ma'una, the infidels killed them by betraying them. When
this news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) , he said Al-Qunut for one month In the morning prayer, invoking evil
upon some of the 'Arab tribes, upon Ril, Dhakwan, 'Usaiya and Bani Libyan. We used to read a verse
of the Qur'an revealed in their connection, but later the verse was cancelled. It was: "convey to our
people on our behalf the information that we have met our Lord, and He is pleased with us, and has
made us pleased." (Anas bin Malik added:) Allah's Prophet said Qunut for one month in the morning
prayer, invoking evil upon some of the 'Arab tribes (namely), Ril, Dhakwan, Usaiya, and Bani Libyan.
(Anas added:) Those seventy Ansari men were killed at the well of Mauna.

Narrated Anas:
That the Prophet (ﷺ) sent his uncle, the brother of Um Sulaim at the head of seventy riders. The chief of
the pagans, 'Amir bin at-Tufail proposed three suggestions (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ) saying, "Choose one of
three alternatives: (1) that the bedouins will be under your command and the townspeople will be
under my command; (2) or that I will be your successor, (3) or otherwise I will attack you with two
thousand from Bani Ghatafan." But 'Amir was infected with plague in the House of Um so-and-so. He
said, "Shall I stay in the house of a lady from the family of so-and-so after having a (swelled) gland
like that she-camel? Get me my horse." So he died on the back of his horse. Then Haram, the brother
of Um Sulaim and a lame man along with another man from so-and-so (tribe) went towards the
pagans (i.e. the tribe of 'Amir). Haram said (to his companions), "Stay near to me, for I will go to
them. If they (i.e. infidels) should give me protection, you will be near to me, and if they should kill
me, then you should go back to your companions. Then Haram went to them and said, "Will you give
me protection so as to convey the message of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" So, he started talking to them' but
they signalled to a man (to kill him) and he went behind him and stabbed him (with a spear). He (i.e.
Haram) said, "Allahu Akbar! I have succeeded, by the Lord of the Ka`ba!" The companion of Haram
was pursued by the infidels, and then they (i.e. Haram's companions) were all killed except the lame
man who was at the top of a mountain. Then Allah revealed to us a verse that was among the
cancelled ones later on. It was: 'We have met our Lord and He is pleased with us and has made us
pleased.' (After this event) the Prophet (ﷺ) invoked evil on the infidels every morning for 30 days. He
invoked evil upon the (tribes of) Ril, Dhakwan, Bani Lihyan and Usaiya who disobeyed Allah and His
Apostle.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
That when Haram bin Milhan, his uncle was stabbed on the day of Bir Ma'una he sprinkled his blood
over his face and his head this way and then said, "I have succeeded, by the Lord of the Ka`ba.'

Narrated `Aisha:
Abu Bakr asked the Prophet (ﷺ) to allow him to go out (of Mecca) when he was greatly annoyed (by the
infidels). But the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, ''Wait." Abu Bakr said, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Do you hope that
you will be allowed (to migrate)?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "I hope so." So Abu Bakr waited for him
till one day Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came at noon time and addressed him saying "Let whoever is present with
you, now leave you." Abu Bakr said, "None is present but my two daughters." The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Have you noticed that I have been allowed to go out (to migrate)?" Abu Bakr said, "O Allah's
Apostle, I would like to accompany you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You will accompany me." Abu Bakr
said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have got two she-camels which I had prepared and kept ready for (our)
going out." So he gave one of the two (she-camels) to the Prophet (ﷺ) and it was Al-Jad`a . They both
rode and proceeded till they reached the Cave at the mountain of Thaur where they hid themselves.
Amir bin Fuhaira was the slave of `Abdullah bin at-Tufail bin Sakhbara `Aisha's brother from her
mother's side. Abu Bakr had a milch she-camel. Amir used to go with it (i.e. the milch she-camel) in
the afternoon and come back to them before noon by setting out towards them in the early morning
when it was still dark and then he would take it to the pasture so that none of the shepherds would be
aware of his job. When the Prophet (and Abu Bakr) went away (from the Cave), he (i.e. 'Amir) too
went along with them and they both used to make him ride at the back of their camels in turns till they
reached Medina. 'Amir bin Fuhaira was martyred on the day of Bir Ma'una.
Narrated `Urwa: When those (Muslims) at Bir Ma'una were martyred and `Amr bin Umaiya Ad-
Damri was taken prisoner, 'Amir bin at-Tufail, pointing at a killed person, asked `Amr, "Who is this?"
`Amr bin Umaiya said to him, "He is 'Amir bin Fuhaira." 'Amir bin at-Tufail said, "I saw him lifted to
the sky after he was killed till I saw the sky between him and the earth, and then he was brought down
upon the earth. Then the news of the killed Muslims reached the Prophet (ﷺ) and he announced the news
of their death saying, "Your companions (of Bir Ma'una) have been killed, and they have asked their
Lord saying, 'O our Lord! Inform our brothers about us as we are pleased with You and You are
pleased with us." So Allah informed them (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions) about them (i.e.
martyrs of Bir Mauna).
On that day, `Urwa bin Asma bin As-Salt who was one of them, was killed, and `Urwa (bin Az-
Zubair) was named after `Urwa bin Asma and Mundhir (bin AzZubair) was named after Mundhir bin
`Amr (who had also been martyred on that day).

Narrated Anas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said Al-Qunut after Bowing (i.e. Ar-Ruku') for one month, invoking evil upon (the tribes
of) Ril and Dhakwan. He used to say, "Usaiya disobeyed Allah and His Apostle."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet (ﷺ) invoked evil upon those (people) who killed his companions at Bir Mauna for 30 days (in
the morning prayer). He invoked evil upon (tribes of) Ril, Lihyan and Usaiya who disobeyed Allah
and His Apostle. Allah revealed a Qur'anic Verse to His Prophet regarding those who had been killed,
i.e. the Muslims killed at Bir Ma'una, and we recited the Verse till later it was cancelled. (The Verse
was:) 'Inform our people that we have met our Lord, and He is pleased with us, and we are pleased
with Him."

Narrated `Asim Al-Ahwal:
I asked Anas bin Malik regarding Al-Qunut during the prayer. Anas replied, "Yes (Al-Qunut was said
by the Prophet (ﷺ) in the prayer)." I said, "Is it before Bowing or after Bowing?" Anas replied, "(It was
said) before (Bowing)." I said, "So-and-so informed me that you told him that it was said after
Bowing." Anas replied, "He was mistaken, for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said Al-Qunut after Bowing for one
month. The Prophet (ﷺ) had sent some people called Al-Qurra who were seventy in number, to some
pagan people who had concluded a peace treaty with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . But those who had concluded
the treaty with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) violated the treaty (and martyred all the seventy men). So Allah's
Apostle said Al-Qunut after Bowing (in the prayer) for one month, invoking evil upon them.

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
That the Prophet (ﷺ) inspected him on the day of Uhud while he was fourteen years old, and the Prophet (ﷺ)
did not allow him to take part in the battle. He was inspected again by the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day of Al-
Khandaq (i.e. battle of the Trench) while he was fifteen years old, and the Prophet (ﷺ) allowed him to take
Part in the battle.

Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d:
We were with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the Trench, and some were digging the trench while we were
carrying the earth on our shoulders. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'O Allah! There is no life except the life of
the Hereafter, so please forgive the Emigrants and the Ansar."

Narrated Anas:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went out towards the Khandaq (i.e. Trench) and saw the Emigrants and the Ansar
digging the trench in the cold morning. They had no slaves to do that (work) for them. When the
Prophet saw their hardship and hunger, he said, 'O Allah! The real life is the life of the Hereafter, so
please forgive Ansar and the Emigrants." They said in reply to him, "We are those who have given the
Pledge of allegiances to Muhammad for to observe Jihad as long as we live."

Narrated Anas:
Al-Muhajirun (i.e. the Emigrants) and the Ansar were digging the trench around Medina and were
carrying the earth on their backs while saying, "We are those who have given the pledge of allegiance
to Muhammad for Islam as long as we live." The Prophet (ﷺ) said in reply to their saying, "O Allah!
There is no goodness except the goodness of the Hereafter; so please grant Your Blessing to the Ansar
and the Emigrants." The people used to bring a handful of barley, and a meal used to be prepared
thereof by cooking it with a cooking material (i.e. oil, fat and butter having a change in color and
smell) and it used to be presented to the people (i.e. workers) who were hungry, and it used to stick to
their throats and had a nasty smell.

Narrated Jabir:
We were digging (the trench) on the day of (Al-Khandaq ( i.e. Trench )) and we came across a big
solid rock. We went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "Here is a rock appearing across the trench." He said, "I
am coming down." Then he got up, and a stone was tied to his belly for we had not eaten anything for
three days. So the Prophet (ﷺ) took the spade and struck the big solid rock and it became like sand. I said,
"O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Allow me to go home." (When the Prophet (ﷺ) allowed me) I said to my wife, "I saw
the Prophet (ﷺ) in a state that I cannot treat lightly. Have you got something (for him to eat?" She replied,
"I have barley and a she goat." So I slaughtered the she-kid and she ground the barley; then we put the
meat in the earthenware cooking pot. Then I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) when the dough had become soft and
fermented and (the meat in) the pot over the stone trivet had nearly been well-cooked, and said, "I
have got a little food prepared, so get up O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), you and one or two men along with you
(for the food)."
The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "How much is that food?" I told him about it. He said, "It is abundant and good.
Tell your wife not to remove the earthenware pot from the fire and not to take out any bread from the
oven till I reach there." Then he said (to all his companions), "Get up." So the Muhajirn (i.e.
Emigrants) and the Ansar got up. When I came to my wife, I said, "Allah's Mercy be upon you! The
Prophet came along with the Muhajirin and the Ansar and those who were present with them." She
said, "Did the Prophet (ﷺ) ask you (how much food you had)?" I replied, "Yes." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Enter and do not throng." The Prophet (ﷺ) started cutting the bread (into pieces) and put the cooked meat
over it. He covered the earthenware pot and the oven whenever he took something out of them. He
would give the food to his companions and take the meat out of the pot. He went on cutting the bread
and scooping the meat (for his companions) till they all ate their fill, and even then, some food
remained. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to my wife), "Eat and present to others as the people are struck with
hunger."

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
When the Trench was dug, I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) in the state of severe hunger. So I returned to my wife
and said, "Have you got anything (to eat), for I have seen Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in a state of severe hunger."
She brought out for me, a bag containing one Sa of barley, and we had a domestic she animal (i.e. a
kid) which I slaughtered then, and my wife ground the barley and she finished at the time I finished
my job (i.e. slaughtering the kid). Then I cut the meat into pieces and put it in an earthenware
(cooking) pot, and returned to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . My wife said, "Do not disgrace me in front of Allah's
Apostle and those who are with him." So I went to him and said to him secretly, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I
have slaughtered a she-animal (i.e. kid) of ours, and we have ground a Sa of barley which was with us.
So please come, you and another person along with you." The Prophet (ﷺ) raised his voice and said, "O
people of Trench ! Jabir has prepared a meal so let us go." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, "Don't put
down your earthenware meat pot (from the fireplace) or bake your dough till I come." So I came (to
my house) and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) too, came, proceeding before the people. When I came to my wife, she
said, "May Allah do so-and-so to you." I said, "I have told the Prophet (ﷺ) of what you said." Then she
brought out to him (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) the dough, and he spat in it and invoked for Allah's Blessings in it.
Then he proceeded towards our earthenware meat-pot and spat in it and invoked for Allah's Blessings
in it. Then he said (to my wife). Call a lady-baker to bake along with you and keep on taking out
scoops from your earthenware meat-pot, and do not put it down from its fireplace." They were onethousand
(who took their meals), and by Allah they all ate, and when they left the food and went
away, our earthenware pot was still bubbling (full of meat) as if it had not decreased, and our dough
was still being baked as if nothing had been taken from it.

Narrated `Aisha:
As regards the following Qur'anic Verse:-- "When they came on you from above and from below you
(from east and west of the valley) and when the eyes grew wild and the hearts reached up to the
throats....." (33.10) That happened on the day of Al-Khandaq (i.e. Trench).

Narrated Al-Bara:
The Prophet (ﷺ) was carrying earth on the day of Al-Khandaq till his `Abdomen was fully covered with
dust, and he was saying, "By Allah, without Allah we would not have been guided, neither would we
have given in charity, nor would we have prayed. So (O Allah), please send Sakina (i.e. calmness)
upon us, and make our feet firm if we meet the enemy as the enemy have rebelled against us, and if
they intended affliction, (i.e. want to frighten us and fight against us then we would not flee but
withstand them)." The Prophet (ﷺ) used to raise his voice saying, "Abaina! Abaina! (i.e. would not, we
would not).

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I have been made victorious by As-Saba (i.e. an easterly wind) and the Ad nation
was destroyed by Ad-Dabur (i.e. a westerly wind).

Narrated Al-Bara:
When it was the day of Al-Ahzab (i.e. the clans) and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) dug the trench, I saw him
carrying earth out of the trench till dust made the skin of his `Abdomen out of my sight and he was a
hairy man. I heard him reciting the poetic verses composed by Ibn Rawaha while he was carrying the
earth, "O Allah! Without You we would not have been guided, nor would we have given in charity,
nor would we have prayed. So, (O Allah), please send Sakina (i.e. calmness) upon us and make our
feet firm if we meet the enemy, as they have rebelled against us. And if they intend affliction (i.e.
want to frighten us, and fight against us) then we would not (flee but withstand them)." The Prophet (ﷺ)
would then prolong his voice at the last words.

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
The first day (i.e. Ghazwa) I participated in, was the day of Al-Khandaq (i.e. Trench).

Narrated `Ikrima bin Khalid:
Ibn `Umar said, "I went to Hafsa while water was dribbling from her twined braids. I said, 'The
condition of the people is as you see, and no authority has been given to me.' Hafsa said, (to me), 'Go
to them, and as they (i.e. the people) are waiting for you, and I am afraid your absence from them will
produce division amongst them.' " So Hafsa did not leave Ibn `Umar till we went to them. When the
people differed. Muawiya addressed the people saying, "'If anybody wants to say anything in this
matter of the Caliphate, he should show up and not conceal himself, for we are more rightful to be a
Caliph than he and his father." On that, Habib bin Masalama said (to Ibn `Umar), "Why don't you
reply to him (i.e. Muawiya)?" `Abdullah bin `Umar said, "I untied my garment that was going round
my back and legs while I was sitting and was about to say, 'He who fought against you and against
your father for the sake of Islam, is more rightful to be a Caliph,' but I was afraid that my statement
might produce differences amongst the people and cause bloodshed, and my statement might be
interpreted not as I intended. (So I kept quiet) remembering what Allah has prepared in the Gardens of
Paradise (for those who are patient and prefer the Hereafter to this worldly life)." Habib said, "You
did what kept you safe and secure (i.e. you were wise in doing so).

Narrated Sulaiman bin Surd:
On the day of Al-Ahzab (i.e. clans) the Prophet (ﷺ) said, (After this battle) we will go to attack them(i.e.
the infidels) and they will not come to attack us."

Narrated Sulaiman bin Surd:
When the clans were driven away, I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "From now onwards we will go to
attack them (i.e. the infidels) and they will not come to attack us, but we will go to them."

Narrated `Ali:
On the day of Al-Khandaq (i.e. Trench), the Prophet (ﷺ) said '(Let) Allah fill their (i.e. the infidels')
houses and graves with fire just as they have prevented us from offering the Middle Prayer (i.e. `Asr
prayer) till the sun had set."

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
`Umar bin Al-Khattab came on the day of Al-Khandaq after the sun had set and he was abusing the
infidels of Quraish saying, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I was unable to offer the (`Asr) prayer till the sun was
about to set." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "By Allah, I have not offered this (i.e. `Asr) prayer." So we came
down along with the Prophet (ﷺ) to Buthan where he performed ablution for the prayer and then we
performed the ablution for it. Then he offered the `Asr prayer after the sun had set, and after it he
offered the Maghrib prayer.

Narrated Jabir:
On the day of Al-Ahzab (i.e. clans), Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Who will bring us the news of the people
(i.e. the clans of Quraish infidels)?" Az-Zubair said, "I." The Prophet (ﷺ) again said, "Who will bring us
the news of the people?" AzZubair said, "I." The Prophet (ﷺ) again said, "Who will bring us the news of
the people?" Az-Zubair said, "I." The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "Every prophet has his Hawari (i.e. disciplespecial
helper); my disciple is Az-Zubair.

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to say, "None has the right to be worshipped except Allah Alone (Who) honored
His Warriors and made His Slave victorious, and He (Alone) defeated the (infidel) clans; so there is
nothing after Him.

Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi `Aufa:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) invoked evil upon the clans saying, "Allah, the Revealer of the Holy Book (i.e. the
Qur'an), the Quick Taker of the accounts! Please defeat the clans. O Allah! Defeat them and shake
them."

Narrated `Abdullah:
Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) returned from a Ghazwa, Hajj or `Umra, he used to start (saying), "Allahu-
Akbar," thrice and then he would say, "None has the right to be worshipped except Allah alone Who
has no partners. To Him belongs the Kingdom, all praises are for Him, and He is able to do all things
(i.e. Omnipotent). We are returning with repentance (to Allah) worshipping, prostrating, and praising
our Lord. Allah has fulfilled His Promise, made His Slave victorious, and He (Alone) defeated the
clans (of infidels) ."

Narrated `Aisha:
When the Prophet (ﷺ) returned from Al-Khandaq (i.e. Trench) and laid down his arms and took a bath,
Gabriel came and said (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ), You have laid down your arms? By Allah, we angels have not
laid them down yet. So set out for them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Where to go?" Gabriel said, "Towards
this side," pointing towards Banu Quraiza. So the Prophet (ﷺ) went out towards them.

Narrated Anas:
As if I am just now looking at the dust rising in the street of Banu Ghanm (in Medina) because of the
marching of Gabriel's regiment when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out to Banu Quraiza (to attack them).

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
On the day of Al-Ahzab (i.e. Clans) the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "None of you Muslims) should offer the `Asr
prayer but at Banu Quraiza's place." The `Asr prayer became due for some of them on the way. Some
of those said, "We will not offer it till we reach it, the place of Banu Quraiza," while some others said,
"No, we will pray at this spot, for the Prophet (ﷺ) did not mean that for us." Later on It was mentioned to
the Prophet (ﷺ) and he did not berate any of the two groups.

Narrated Anas:
Some (of the Ansar) used to present date palm trees to the Prophet (ﷺ) till Banu Quraiza and Banu An-
Nadir were conquered (then he returned to the people their date palms). My people ordered me to ask
the Prophet (ﷺ) to return some or all the date palms they had given to him, but the Prophet (ﷺ) had given those
trees to Um Aiman. On that, Um Aiman came and put the garment around my neck and said, "No, by
Him except Whom none has the right to be worshipped, he will not return those trees to you as he (i.e.
the Prophet (ﷺ) ) has given them to me." The Prophet (ﷺ) go said (to her), "Return those trees and I will give
you so much (instead of them)." But she kept on refusing, saying, "No, by Allah," till he gave her ten
times the number of her date palms.

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
The people of (Banu) Quraiza agreed to accept the verdict of Sa`d bin Mu`adh. So the Prophet (ﷺ) sent for
Sa`d, and the latter came (riding) a donkey and when he approached the Mosque, the Prophet (ﷺ) said to
the Ansar, "Get up for your chief or for the best among you." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to Sa`d)." These
(i.e. Banu Quraiza) have agreed to accept your verdict." Sa`d said, "Kill their (men) warriors and take
their offspring as captives, "On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You have judged according to Allah's
Judgment," or said, "according to the King's judgment."

Narrated `Aisha:
Sa`d was wounded on the day of Khandaq (i.e. Trench) when a man from Quraish, called Hibban bin
Al-`Araqa hit him (with an arrow). The man was Hibban bin Qais from (the tribe of) Bani Mais bin
'Amir bin Lu'ai who shot an arrow at Sa`d's medial arm vein (or main artery of the arm). The Prophet (ﷺ)
pitched a tent (for Sa`d) in the Mosque so that he might be near to the Prophet (ﷺ) to visit. When the
Prophet returned from the (battle) of Al-Khandaq (i.e. Trench) and laid down his arms and took a bath
Gabriel came to him while he (i.e. Gabriel) was shaking the dust off his head, and said, "You have laid
down the arms?" By Allah, I have not laid them down. Go out to them (to attack them)." The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "Where?" Gabriel pointed towards Bani Quraiza. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went to them (i.e. Banu
Quraiza) (i.e. besieged them). They then surrendered to the Prophet's judgment but he directed them to
Sa`d to give his verdict concerning them. Sa`d said, "I give my judgment that their warriors should be
killed, their women and children should be taken as captives, and their properties distributed."
Narrated Hisham: My father informed me that `Aisha said, "Sa`d said, "O Allah! You know that there
is nothing more beloved to me than to fight in Your Cause against those who disbelieved Your
Apostle and turned him out (of Mecca). O Allah! I think you have put to an end the fight between us
and them (i.e. Quraish infidels). And if there still remains any fight with the Quraish (infidels), then
keep me alive till I fight against them for Your Sake. But if you have brought the war to an end, then
let this wound burst and cause my death thereby.' So blood gushed from the wound. There was a tent
in the Mosque belonging to Banu Ghifar who were surprised by the blood flowing towards them .
They said, 'O people of the tent! What is this thing which is coming to us from your side?' Behold!
Blood was flowing profusely out of Sa`d's wound. Sa`d then died because of that."

Narrated Al-Bara:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said to Hassan, "Abuse them (with your poems), and Gabriel is with you (i.e, supports
you)." (Through another group of sub narrators) Al-Bara bin Azib said, "On the day of Quraiza's
(besiege), Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to Hassan bin Thabit, 'Abuse them (with your poems), and Gabriel is
with you (i.e. supports you).' "

Al-Bara' bin `Azib said (through another chain of sub-narrators):
"On the day of Quraiza's (siege), Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to Hassan bin Thabit, 'Abuse them (with your poems), and Jibril is with you.'"

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah (ra):
The Prophet (ﷺ) led his Companions in the Fear Prayer in the seventh Ghazwa i.e. the Ghazwa of Dhat-ur-Riqa. Ibn Abbas said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) offered the Fear Prayer at a place called Dhi-Qarad."

Jabir said that the Prophet (ﷺ) led the people in the Fear Prayer on the day of Muharib and Tha'laba (i.e. the day of the battle of Dhat-ur-Riqa').

Jabir added:
"The Prophet (ﷺ) set out for the battle of Dhat-ur-Riqa' at a place called Nakhl and he met a group of people from Ghatafan, but there was no clash (between them); the people were afraid of each other and the Prophet (ﷺ) offered the two raka'at of the Fear prayer."

Narrated Salama: "I fought in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day of al-Qarad."

Narrated Abu Burda:
Abu Musa said, "We went out in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) for a Ghazwa and we were six persons
having one camel which we rode in rotation. So, (due to excessive walking) our feet became thin and
my feet became thin and my nail dropped, and we used to wrap our feet with the pieces of cloth, and
for this reason, the Ghazwa was named Dhat-ur-Riqa as we wrapped our feet with rags." When Abu-
Musa narrated this (Hadith), he felt regretful to do so and said, as if he disliked to have disclosed a
good deed of his.

Narrated Salih bin Khawwat:
Concerning those who witnessed the Fear Prayer that was performed in the battle of Dhat-ur-Riqa' in
the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ); One batch lined up behind him while another batch (lined up) facing
the enemy. The Prophet (ﷺ) led the batch that was with him in one rak`a, and he stayed in the standing
posture while that batch completed their (two rak`at) prayer by themselves and went away, lining in
the face of the enemy, while the other batch came and he (i.e. the Prophet) offered his remaining rak`a
with them, and then, kept on sitting till they completed their prayer by themselves, and he then
finished his prayer with Taslim along with them.

Narrated Ibn Az-Zubair:
Jabir said, "We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) at Nakhl," and then he mentioned the
Fear prayer.
Narrated Al-Qasim bin Muhammad: The Prophet (ﷺ) offered the Fear prayer in the Ghazwa of Banu
Anmar.

Narrated Sahl bin Abi Hathma:
(describing the Fear prayer): The Imam stands up facing the Qibla and one batch of them (i.e. the
army) (out of the two) prays along with him and the other batch faces the enemy. The Imam offers one
rak`a with the first batch they themselves stand up alone and offer one bowing and two prostrations
while they are still in their place, and then go away to relieve the second batch, and the second batch
comes (and takes the place of the first batch in the prayer behind the Imam) and he offers the second
rak`a with them. So he completes his two-rak`at and then the second batch bows and prostrates two
prostrations (i.e. complete their second rak`a and thus all complete their prayer).

(This hadith has also been narrated through two other chain by Sahl b. Abi Hathma)

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
I took part in a Ghazwa towards Najd along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and we clashed with the enemy, and
we lined up for them.

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) led the Fear-prayer with one of the two batches of the army while the other (batch)
faced the enemy. Then the first batch went away and took places of their companions (i.e. second
batch) and the second batch came and he led his second rak`a with them. Then he (i.e. the Prophet:
finished his prayer with Taslim and then each of the two batches got up and completed their remaining
one rak`a.

Narrated Sinan and Abu Salama:
Jabir mentioned that he had participated in a Ghazwa towards Najd in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
.

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
That he fought in a Ghazwa towards Najd along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
returned, he too, returned along with him. The time of the afternoon nap overtook them when they
were in a valley full of thorny trees. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) dismounted and the people dispersed amongst the
thorny trees, seeking the shade of the trees. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took shelter under a Samura tree and hung
his sword on it. We slept for a while when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) suddenly called us, and we went to him, to
find a bedouin sitting with him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "This (bedouin) took my sword out of its sheath
while I was asleep. When I woke up, the naked sword was in his hand and he said to me, 'Who can
save you from me?, I replied, 'Allah.' Now here he is sitting." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not punish him (for
that).

(through another group of narrators) Jabir said:
"We were in the company of the Prophet (during the
battle of) Dhat-ur-Riqa', and we came across a shady tree and we left it for the Prophet (to take rest
under its shade). A man from the pagans came while the Prophet's sword was hanging on the tree. He
took it out of its sheath secretly and said (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ), 'Are you afraid of me?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
'No.' He said, 'Who can save you from me?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, Allah.' The companions of the Prophet (ﷺ)
threatened him, then the Iqama for the prayer was announced and the Prophet (ﷺ) offered a two rak`at
Fear prayer with one of the two batches, and that batch went aside and he offered two rak`a-t with the
other batch. So the Prophet (ﷺ) offered four rak`at but the people offered two rak`at only." (The subnarrator)
Abu Bishr added, "The man was Ghaurath bin Al-Harith and the battle was waged against
Muharib Khasafa."

Jabir added, "We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) at Nakhl and he offered the Fear prayer."
Abu Huraira said, "I offered the Fear prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ) during the Ghazwa (i.e. the battle) of
Najd." Abu Huraira came to the Prophet (ﷺ) during the day of Khaibar.

Narrated Ibn Muhairiz:
I entered the Mosque and saw Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri and sat beside him and asked him about Al-Azl
(i.e. coitus interruptus). Abu Sa`id said, "We went out with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for the Ghazwa of Banu
Al-Mustaliq and we received captives from among the Arab captives and we desired women and
celibacy became hard on us and we loved to do coitus interruptus. So when we intended to do coitus
interrupt us, we said, 'How can we do coitus interruptus before asking Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who is present
among us?" We asked (him) about it and he said, 'It is better for you not to do so, for if any soul (till
the Day of Resurrection) is predestined to exist, it will exist."

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
We took part in the Ghazwa of Najd along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and when the time for the afternoon
rest approached while he was in a valley with plenty of thorny trees, he dismounted under a tree and
rested in its shade and hung his sword (on it). The people dispersed amongst the trees in order to have
shade. While we were in this state, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called us and we came and found a bedouin sitting
in front of him. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "This (Bedouin) came to me while I was asleep, and he took my
sword stealthily. I woke up while he was standing by my head, holding my sword without its sheath.
He said, 'Who will save you from me?' I replied, 'Allah.' So he sheathed it (i.e. the sword) and sat
down, and here he is." But Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not punish him.

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah Al-Ansari:
I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) offering his Nawafil prayer on his Mount facing the East during the Ghazwa of
Anmar.

Narrated `Aisha:
Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) intended to go on a journey, he used to draw lots amongst his wives, and
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to take with him the one on whom lot fell. He drew lots amongst us during one of
the Ghazwat which he fought. The lot fell on me and so I proceeded with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) after Allah's
order of veiling (the women) had been revealed. I was carried (on the back of a camel) in my howdah
and carried down while still in it (when we came to a halt). So we went on till Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had
finished from that Ghazwa of his and returned.
When we approached the city of Medina he announced at night that it was time for departure. So
when they announced the news of departure, I got up and went away from the army camps, and after
finishing from the call of nature, I came back to my riding animal. I touched my chest to find that my
necklace which was made of Zifar beads (i.e. Yemenite beads partly black and partly white) was
missing. So I returned to look for my necklace and my search for it detained me. (In the meanwhile)
the people who used to carry me on my camel, came and took my howdah and put it on the back of
my camel on which I used to ride, as they considered that I was in it. In those days women were light
in weight for they did not get fat, and flesh did not cover their bodies in abundance as they used to eat
only a little food. Those people therefore, disregarded the lightness of the howdah while lifting and
carrying it; and at that time I was still a young girl. They made the camel rise and all of them left
(along with it). I found my necklace after the army had gone.
Then I came to their camping place to find no call maker of them, nor one who would respond to the
call. So I intended to go to the place where I used to stay, thinking that they would miss me and come
back to me (in my search). While I was sitting in my resting place, I was overwhelmed by sleep and
slept. Safwan bin Al-Muattal As-Sulami Adh-Dhakwani was behind the army. When he reached my
place in the morning, he saw the figure of a sleeping person and he recognized me on seeing me as he
had seen me before the order of compulsory veiling (was prescribed). So I woke up when he recited
Istirja' (i.e. "Inna li l-lahi wa inna llaihi raji'un") as soon as he recognized me. I veiled my face with
my head cover at once, and by Allah, we did not speak a single word, and I did not hear him saying
any word besides his Istirja'. He dismounted from his camel and made it kneel down, putting his leg
on its front legs and then I got up and rode on it. Then he set out leading the camel that was carrying
me till we overtook the army in the extreme heat of midday while they were at a halt (taking a rest).
(Because of the event) some people brought destruction upon themselves and the one who spread the
Ifk (i.e. slander) more, was `Abdullah bin Ubai Ibn Salul."
(Urwa said, "The people propagated the slander and talked about it in his (i.e. `Abdullah's) presence
and he confirmed it and listened to it and asked about it to let it prevail." `Urwa also added, "None
was mentioned as members of the slanderous group besides (`Abdullah) except Hassan bin Thabit and
Mistah bin Uthatha and Hamna bint Jahsh along with others about whom I have no knowledge, but
they were a group as Allah said. It is said that the one who carried most of the slander was `Abdullah
bin Ubai bin Salul." `Urwa added, "`Aisha disliked to have Hassan abused in her presence and she
used to say, 'It was he who said: My father and his (i.e. my father's) father and my honor are all for the
protection of Muhammad's honor from you.").
`Aisha added, "After we returned to Medina, I became ill for a month. The people were propagating
the forged statements of the slanderers while I was unaware of anything of all that, but I felt that in my
present ailment, I was not receiving the same kindness from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as I used to receive when
I got sick. (But now) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would only come, greet me and say,' How is that (lady)?' and
leave. That roused my doubts, but I did not discover the evil (i.e. slander) till I went out after my
convalescence, I went out with Um Mistah to Al-Manasi' where we used to answer the call of nature
and we used not to go out (to answer the call of nature) except at night, and that was before we had
latrines near our houses. And this habit of our concerning evacuating the bowels, was similar to the
habits of the old 'Arabs living in the deserts, for it would be troublesome for us to take latrines near
our houses. So I and Um Mistah who was the daughter of Abu Ruhm bin Al-Muttalib bin `Abd
Manaf, whose mother was the daughter of Sakhr bin 'Amir and the aunt of Abu Bakr As-Siddiq and
whose son was Mistah bin Uthatha bin `Abbas bin Al-Muttalib, went out. I and Um Mistah returned to
my house after we finished answering the call of nature. Um Mistah stumbled by getting her foot
entangled in her covering sheet and on that she said, 'Let Mistah be ruined!' I said, 'What a hard word
you have said. Do you abuse a man who took part in the battle of Badr?' On that she said, 'O you
Hantah! Didn't you hear what he (i.e. Mistah) said? 'I said, 'What did he say?'
Then she told me the slander of the people of Ifk. So my ailment was aggravated, and when I reached
my home, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to me, and after greeting me, said, 'How is that (lady)?' I said, 'Will
you allow me to go to my parents?' as I wanted to be sure about the news through them. Allah's
Apostle allowed me (and I went to my parents) and asked my mother, 'O mother! What are the people
talking about?' She said, 'O my daughter! Don't worry, for scarcely is there a charming woman who is
loved by her husband and whose husband has other wives besides herself that they (i.e. women) would
find faults with her.' I said, 'Subhan-Allah! (I testify the uniqueness of Allah). Are the people really
talking in this way?' I kept on weeping that night till dawn I could neither stop weeping nor sleep then
in the morning again, I kept on weeping. When the Divine Inspiration was delayed.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called `Ali bin Abi Talib and Usama bin Zaid to ask and consult them about divorcing
me. Usama bin Zaid said what he knew of my innocence, and the respect he preserved in himself for
me. Usama said, '(O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!) She is your wife and we do not know anything except good
about her.' `Ali bin Abi Talib said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Allah does not put you in difficulty and there
are plenty of women other than she, yet, ask the maid-servant who will tell you the truth.' On that
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called Barira (i.e. the maid-servant) and said, 'O Barira! Did you ever see anything
which aroused your suspicion?' Barira said to him, 'By Him Who has sent you with the Truth. I have
never seen anything in her (i.e. Aisha) which I would conceal, except that she is a young girl who
sleeps leaving the dough of her family exposed so that the domestic goats come and eat it.'
So, on that day, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up on the pulpit and complained about `Abdullah bin Ubai (bin
Salul) before his companions, saying, 'O you Muslims! Who will relieve me from that man who has
hurt me with his evil statement about my family? By Allah, I know nothing except good about my
family and they have blamed a man about whom I know nothing except good and he used never to
enter my home except with me.' Sa`d bin Mu`adh the brother of Banu `Abd Al-Ashhal got up and
said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I will relieve you from him; if he is from the tribe of Al-Aus, then I will chop
his head off, and if he is from our brothers, i.e. Al-Khazraj, then order us, and we will fulfill your
order.' On that, a man from Al-Khazraj got up. Um Hassan, his cousin, was from his branch tribe, and
he was Sa`d bin Ubada, chief of Al-Khazraj. Before this incident, he was a pious man, but his love for
his tribe goaded him into saying to Sa`d (bin Mu`adh). 'By Allah, you have told a lie; you shall not
and cannot kill him. If he belonged to your people, you would not wish him to be killed.'
On that, Usaid bin Hudair who was the cousin of Sa`d (bin Mu`adh) got up and said to Sa`d bin
'Ubada, 'By Allah! You are a liar! We will surely kill him, and you are a hypocrite arguing on the
behalf of hypocrites.' On this, the two tribes of Al-Aus and Al Khazraj got so much excited that they
were about to fight while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was standing on the pulpit. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept on
quietening them till they became silent and so did he. All that day I kept on weeping with my tears
never ceasing, and I could never sleep.
In the morning my parents were with me and I wept for two nights and a day with my tears never
ceasing and I could never sleep till I thought that my liver would burst from weeping. So, while my
parents were sitting with me and I was weeping, an Ansari woman asked me to grant her admittance. I
allowed her to come in, and when she came in, she sat down and started weeping with me. While we
were in this state, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came, greeted us and sat down. He had never sat with me since that
day of the slander. A month had elapsed and no Divine Inspiration came to him about my case. Allah's
Apostle then recited Tashah-hud and then said, 'Amma Badu, O `Aisha! I have been informed so-andso
about you; if you are innocent, then soon Allah will reveal your innocence, and if you have
committed a sin, then repent to Allah and ask Him for forgiveness for when a slave confesses his sins
and asks Allah for forgiveness, Allah accepts his repentance.'
(continued...)
(continuing... 1): -5.462:... ...
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) finished his speech, my tears ceased flowing completely that I no longer felt a
single drop of tear flowing. I said to my father, 'Reply to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on my behalf concerning
what he has said.' My father said, 'By Allah, I do not know what to say to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) .' Then I
said to my mother, 'Reply to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on my behalf concerning what he has said.' She said, 'By
Allah, I do not know what to say to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).' In spite of the fact that I was a young girl and had
a little knowledge of Qur'an, I said, 'By Allah, no doubt I know that you heard this (slanderous) speech
so that it has been planted in your hearts (i.e. minds) and you have taken it as a truth. Now if I tell you
that I am innocent, you will not believe me, and if confess to you about it, and Allah knows that I am
innocent, you will surely believe me. By Allah, I find no similitude for me and you except that of
Joseph's father when he said, '(For me) patience in the most fitting against that which you assert; it is
Allah (Alone) Whose Help can be sought.' Then I turned to the other side and lay on my bed; and
Allah knew then that I was innocent and hoped that Allah would reveal my innocence. But, by Allah, I
never thought that Allah would reveal about my case, Divine Inspiration, that would be recited
(forever) as I considered myself too unworthy to be talked of by Allah with something of my concern,
but I hoped that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) might have a dream in which Allah would prove my innocence. But,
by Allah, before Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) left his seat and before any of the household left, the Divine
inspiration came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).
So there overtook him the same hard condition which used to overtake him, (when he used to be
inspired Divinely). The sweat was dropping from his body like pearls though it was a wintry day and
that was because of the weighty statement which was being revealed to him. When that state of
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was over, he got up smiling, and the first word he said was, 'O `Aisha! Allah has
declared your innocence!' Then my Mother said to me, 'Get up and go to him (i.e. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)). I
replied, 'By Allah, I will not go to him, and I praise none but Allah. So Allah revealed the ten Verses:-
- "Verily! They who spread the slander Are a gang, among you............." (24.11-20)
Allah revealed those Qur'anic Verses to declare my innocence. Abu Bakr As-Siddiq who used to
disburse money for Mistah bin Uthatha because of his relationship to him and his poverty, said, 'By
Allah, I will never give to Mistah bin Uthatha anything after what he has said about Aisha.' Then
Allah revealed:--
"And let not those among you who are good and wealthy swear not to give (any sort of help) to their
kinsmen, those in need, and those who have left their homes for Allah's cause, let them pardon and
forgive. Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is oft-Forgiving Most Merciful."
(24.22)
Abu Bakr As-Siddiq said, 'Yes, by Allah, I would like that Allah forgive me.' and went on giving
Mistah the money he used to give him before. He also added, 'By Allah, I will never deprive him of it
at all.'
Aisha further said:." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) also asked Zainab bint Jahsh (i.e. his wife) about my case. He
said to Zainab, 'What do you know and what did you see?" She replied, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I refrain
from claiming falsely that I have heard or seen anything. By Allah, I know nothing except good (about
`Aisha).' From amongst the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) Zainab was my peer (in beauty and in the love she
received from the Prophet) but Allah saved her from that evil because of her piety. Her sister Hamna,
started struggling on her behalf and she was destroyed along with those who were destroyed. The man
who was blamed said, 'Subhan-Allah! By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I have never uncovered the
cover (i.e. veil) of any female.' Later on the man was martyred in Allah's Cause."

Narrated Az-Zuhri:
Al-Walid bin `Abdul Malik said to me, "Have you heard that `Ali' was one of those who slandered
`Aisha?" I replied, "No, but two men from your people (named) Abu Salama bin `Abdur-Rahman and
Abu Bakr bin `Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Harith have informed me that Aisha told them that `Ali
remained silent about her case."

Narrated Masruq bin Al-Aida:
Um Ruman, the mother of `Aisha said that while `Aisha and she were sitting, an Ansari woman came
and said, "May Allah harm such and-such a person!" Um Ruman said to her, What is the matter?" She
replied, "My son was amongst those who talked of the story (of the Slander)." Um Ruman said, "What
is that?" She said, "So-and-so...." and narrated the whole story. On that `Aisha said, "Did Allah's
Apostle hear about that?" She replies, "yes." `Aisha further said, "And Abu Bakr too?" She replied,
"Yes." On that, `Aisha fell down fainting, and when she came to her senses, she had got fever with
rigors. I put her clothes over her and covered her. The Prophet (ﷺ) came and asked, "What is wrong with
this (lady)?" Um Ruman replied, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! She (i.e. `Aisha) has got temperature with
rigors." He said, "Perhaps it is because of the story that has been talked about?" She said, "Yes."
`Aisha sat up and said, "By Allah, if I took an oath (that I am innocent), you would not believe me,
and if I said (that I am not innocent), you would not excuse me. My and your example is like that of
Jacob and his sons (as Jacob said ): 'It is Allah (Alone) Whose Help can be sought against that you
assert.' Um Ruman said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) then went out saying nothing. Then Allah declared her
innocence. On that, `Aisha said (to the Prophet), "I thank Allah only; thank neither anybody else nor
you."

Narrated Ibn Abi Malaika:
`Aisha used to recite this Verse:-- 'Ida taliqunahu bi-alsinatikum' (24.15) "(As you tell lie with your
tongues.)" and used to say "Al-Walaq" means "telling of a lie. "She knew this Verse more than
anybody else as it was revealed about her.

Narrated Hisham's father:
I started abusing Hassan in front of `Aisha. She said, "Do not abuse him as he used to defend Allah's
Apostle (against the infidels). `Aisha added, "Once Hassan took the permission from the Prophet (ﷺ) to
say poetic verses against the infidels. On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'How will you exclude my forefathers
(from that)? Hassan replied, 'I will take you out of them as one takes a hair out of the dough."
Hisham's father added, "I abused Hassan as he was one of those who spoke against `Aisha."

Narrated Masruq:
We went to `Aisha while Hassan bin Thabit was with her reciting poetry to her from some of his
poetic verses, saying "A chaste wise lady about whom nobody can have suspicion. She gets up with an
empty stomach because she never eats the flesh of indiscreet (ladies)." `Aisha said to him, "But you
are not like that." I said to her, "Why do you grant him admittance, though Allah said:-- "and as for
him among them, who had the greater share therein, his will be a severe torment." (24.11)
On that, `Aisha said, "And what punishment is more than blinding?" She, added, "Hassan used to
defend or say poetry on behalf of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (against the infidels).

Narrated Zaid bin Khalid:
We went out with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the year of Al-Hudaibiya. One night it rained and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
led us in the Fajr prayer and (after finishing it), turned to us and said, "Do you know what your Lord
has said?" We replied, "Allah and His Apostle know it better." He said, "Allah said:-- "(Some of) My
slaves got up believing in Me, And (some of them) disbelieving in Me. The one who said: We have
been given Rain through Allah's Mercy and Allah's Blessing and Allah's Bounty, then he is a believer
in Me, and is a disbeliever in the star. And whoever said: We have been given rain because of such and-
such star, then he is a believer in the star, and is a disbeliever in Me."

Narrated Anas:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) performed four `Umras, all in the month of Dhul-Qa'da, except the one which he
performed with his Hajj (i.e. in Dhul-Hijja). He performed one `Umra from Al-Hudaibiya in Dhul-
Qa'da, another `Umra in the following year in Dhul Qa'da a third from Al-Jirana where he distributed
the war booty of Hunain, in Dhul Qa'da, and the fourth `Umra he performed was with his Hajj.

Narrated Abu Qatada:
We set out with the Prophet (ﷺ) in the year of Al-Hudaibiya, and all his companions assumed the state of
Ihram but I did not.

Narrated Al-Bara:
Do you (people) consider the conquest of Mecca, the Victory (referred to in the Qur'an 48:1). Was the
conquest of Mecca a victory? We really consider that the actual Victory was the Ar-Ridwan Pledge of
allegiance which we gave on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (to the Prophet) . On the day of Al-Hudaibiya
we were fourteen hundred men along with the Prophet (ﷺ) Al-Hudaibiya was a well, the water of which
we used up leaving not a single drop of water in it. When the Prophet (ﷺ) was informed of that, he came
and sat on its edge. Then he asked for a utensil of water, performed ablution from it, rinsed (his
mouth), invoked (Allah), and poured the remaining water into the well. We stayed there for a while
and then the well brought forth what we required of water for ourselves and our riding animals.

Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib:
That they were in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the day of Al-Hudaibiya and their number was
1400 or more. They camped at a well and drew its water till it was dried. When they informed Allah's
Apostle of that, he came and sat over its edge and said, "Bring me a bucket of its water." When it was
brought, he spat and invoked (Allah) and said, "Leave it for a while." Then they quenched their thirst
and watered their riding animals (from that well) till they departed.

Narrated Salim:
Jabir said "On the day of Al-Hudaibiya, the people felt thirsty and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had a utensil
containing water. He performer ablution from it and then the people came towards him. Allah's
Apostle said, 'What is wrong with you?' The people said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We haven't got any water
to perform ablution with or to drink, except what you have in your utensil.' So the Prophet (ﷺ) put his
hand in the utensil and the water started spouting out between his fingers like springs. So we drank
and performed ablution." I said to Jabir, "What was your number on that day?" He replied, "Even if
we had been one hundred thousand, that water would have been sufficient for us. Anyhow, we were
1500.'

Narrated Qatada:
I said to Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab, "I have been informed that Jabir bin `Abdullah said that the number
(of Al-Hudaibiya Muslim warriors) was 1400." Sa`id said to me, "Jabir narrated to me that they were
1500 who gave the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day of Al-Hudaibiya.'

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
On the day of Al-Hudaibiya, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to us' "You are the best people on the earth!" We
were 1400 then. If I could see now, I would have shown you the place of the Tree (beneath which we gave the
Pledge of Allegiance)." Salim said, "Our number was 1400."

`Abdullah bin Abi `Aufa
said, "The people (who gave the Pledge of allegiance) under the Tree numbered 1300 and the number of Bani Aslam was 1/8 of the Emigrants."

Narrated Mirdas Al-Aslami:
Who was among those (who had given the Pledge of allegiance) under the Tree: Pious people will die
in succession, and there will remain the dregs of society who will be like the useless residues of dates
and barley and Allah will pay no attention to them.

Narrated Marwan and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama:
The Prophet (ﷺ) went out in the company of 1300 to 1500 of his companions in the year of Al-Hudaibiya,
and when they reached Dhul-Hulaifa, he garlanded and marked his Hadi and assumed the state of
Ihram.

Narrated Ka`b bin Ujra:
That Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw him with the lice falling (from his head) on his face. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said,
"Are your lice troubling you? Ka`b said, "Yes." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) thus ordered him to shave his head
while he was at Al-Hudaibiya. Up to then there was no indication that all of them would finish their
state of Ihram and they hoped that they would enter Mecca. Then the order of Al-Fidya was revealed,
so Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered Ka`b to feed six poor persons with one Faraq of food or slaughter a sheep
or fast for three days.

Narrated Aslam:
Once I went with `Umar bin Al-Khattab to the market. A young woman followed `Umar and said, "O
chief of the believers! My husband has died, leaving little children. By Allah, they have not even a
sheep's trotter to cook; they have no farms or animals. I am afraid that they may die because of
hunger, and I am the daughter of Khufaf bin Ima Al-Ghafari, and my father witnessed the Pledge of
allegiance) of Al-Hudaibiya with the Prophet.' `Umar stopped and did not proceed, and said, "I
welcome my near relative." Then he went towards a strong camel which was tied in the house, and
carried on to it, two sacks he had loaded with food grains and put between them money and clothes
and gave her its rope to hold and said, "Lead it, and this provision will not finish till Allah gives you a
good supply." A man said, "O chief of the believers! You have given her too much." "`Umar said
disapprovingly. "May your mother be bereaved of you! By Allah, I have seen her father and brother
besieging a fort for a long time and conquering it, and then we were discussing what their shares they
would have from that war booty."

Narrated Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab:
That his father said, "I saw the Tree (of the Ar-Ridwan Pledge of allegiance and when I returned to it
later, I was not able to recognize it. (The sub--narrator MahmiJd said, Al-Musaiyab said, 'Then; forgot
it (i.e., the Tree).)"

Narrated Tariq bin `Abdur-Rahman:
When I set out for Hajj, I passed by some people offering a prayer, I asked, "What is this mosque?"
They said, "This is the Tree where Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took the Ar-Ridwan Pledge of allegiance. Then I
went to Sa`id bin Musaiyab and informed him about it. Sa`id said, "My father said that he was
amongst those who had given the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) beneath the Tree. He (i.e. my
father) said, "When we set out the following year, we forgot the Tree and were unable to recognize it.
"Then Sa`id said (perhaps ironically) "The companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) could not recognize it;
nevertheless, you do recognize it; therefore you have a better knowledge."

Narrated Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab:
That his father was amongst those who had given the Pledge of allegiance (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ) beneath
the Tree, and the next year when they went towards the Tree, they were not able to recognize it.

Narrated Tariq:
(The tree where the Ridwan Pledge of allegiance was taken by the Prophet) was mentioned before
Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab. On that he smiled and said, "My father informed me (about it) and he had
witnessed it (i.e. the Pledge) ."

Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi `Aufa:
(Who was one of those who had given the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) beneath the Tree) When
the people brought Sadaqa (i.e. rak`at) to the Prophet (ﷺ) he used to say, "O Allah! Bless them with your
Mercy." Once my father came with his Sadaqa to him whereupon he (i.e. the Prophet) said. "O Allah!
Bless the family of Abu `Aufa."

Narrated `Abbas bin Tamim:
When it was the day (of the battle) of Al-Harra the people were giving Pledge of allegiance to
`Abdullah bin Hanzala. Ibn Zaid said, "For what are the people giving Pledge of allegiance to
`Abdullah bin Hanzala?" It was said to him, "For death." Ibn Zaid said, "I will never give the Pledge
of allegiance for that to anybody else after Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ." Ibn Zaid was one of those who had
witnessed the day of Al-Hudaibiya with the Prophet.

Narrated Iyas bin Salama bin Al-Akwa`:
My father who was amongst those who had given the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) beneath the
Tree, said to me, "We used to offer the Jumua prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ) and then depart at a time when
the walls had no shade for us to take shelter in."

Narrated Yazid bin Abi Ubaid:
I said to Salama bin Al-Akwa`, "For what did you give the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on
the day of Al-Hudaibiya?" He replied, "For death (in the Cause of Islam.).

Narrated Al-Musaiyab:
I met Al-Bara bin `Azib and said (to him). "May you live prosperously! You enjoyed the company of
the Prophet (ﷺ) and gave him the Pledge of allegiance (of Al-Hudaibiya) under the Tree." On that, Al-
Bara' said, "O my nephew! You do not know what we have done after him (i.e. his death).

Narrated Abu Qilaba:
that Thabit bin Ad-Dahhak had informed him that he was one of those who had given the Pledge of
allegiance (of Al-Hudaibiya) beneath the Tree.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
regarding Allah's Statement: "Verily! We have granted you (O, Muhammad) Manifest victory."
(48.1) It refers to the Al-Hudaibiya Pledge. And the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to the Prophet),
"Congratulations and happiness for you; but what reward shall we get?" So Allah revealed:-- "That He
may admit the believing men and women to gardens beneath which rivers flow." (48.5)

Narrated Zahir Al-Aslami:
(who was one of those who had witnessed (the Pledge of allegiance beneath) the Tree) While I was
making fire beneath the cooking pots containing donkey's meat, the announcer of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
announced, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbids you to eat donkey's meat."

The same narration was told by Majzaa from a man called Uhban bin Aus who was one of those who
had witnessed (the Pledge of allegiance beneath) the Tree., and who had some trouble in his knee so
that while doing prostrations, he used to put a pillow underneath his knee.

Narrated Suwaid bin An-Nu`man:
who was one of those who witnessed (the Pledge of allegiance beneath) the Tree: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and
his companions were given Sawiq and they chewed it.

Narrated Abu Jamra:
I asked Aidh bin `Amr, who was one of the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) one of those (who gave the
allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) the Tree: "Can the witr prayer be repeated (in one night)?" He said, "If you
have offered it in the first part of the night, you should not repeat it in the last part 'of the night." (See
Fath-ul-Bari page 458 Vol 8th).

Narrated Zaid bin Aslam:
My father said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was proceeding at night on one of his journeys and `Umar bin Al-
Khattab was going along with him. `Umar bin Al-Khattab asked him (about something) but Allah's
Apostle did not answer him. `Umar asked him again, but he did not answer him. He asked him again
(for the third time) but he did not answer him. On that `Umar bin Al-Khattab addressed himself
saying, "May your mother be bereaved of you, O `Umar, for you have asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) thrice,
yet he has not answered you." `Umar said, "Then I made my camel run fast and took it in front of the
other Muslims, and I was afraid that something might be revealed in my connection. I had hardly
waited for a moment when I heard somebody calling me. I said, 'I was afraid that something might
have been revealed about me.' Then I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and greeted him. He (i.e. the Prophet)
said, 'Tonight there has been revealed to me, a Sura which is dearer to me than (all the world) on
which the sun rises,' and then he recited: 'Verily! We have granted you (O Muhammad) A manifest
victory." (48.1)

Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and Marwan bin Al-Hakam:
(one of them said more than his friend): The Prophet (ﷺ) set out in the company of more than onethousand
of his companions in the year of Al-Hudaibiya, and when he reached Dhul-Hulaifa, he
garlanded his Hadi (i.e. sacrificing animal), assumed the state of Ihram for `Umra from that place and
sent a spy of his from Khuzi'a (tribe). The Prophet (ﷺ) proceeded on till he reached (a village called)
Ghadir-al-Ashtat. There his spy came and said, "The Quraish (infidels) have collected a great number
of people against you, and they have collected against you the Ethiopians, and they will fight with
you, and will stop you from entering the Ka`ba and prevent you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O people! Give
me your opinion. Do you recommend that I should destroy the families and offspring of those who
want to stop us from the Ka`ba? If they should come to us (for peace) then Allah will destroy a spy
from the pagans, or otherwise we will leave them in a miserable state." On that Abu Bakr said, "O
Allah Apostle! You have come with the intention of visiting this House (i.e. Ka`ba) and you do not
want to kill or fight anybody. So proceed to it, and whoever should stop us from it, we will fight him."
On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Proceed on, in the Name of Allah !"

Narrated `Urwa bin Az-Zubair:
That he heard Marwan bin Al-Hakam and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama relating one of the events that
happened to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the `Umra of Al-Hudaibiya. They said, "When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
concluded the truce with Suhail bin `Amr on the day of Al-Hudaibiya, one of the conditions which
Suhail bin `Amr stipulated, was his saying (to the Prophet), "If anyone from us (i.e. infidels) ever
comes to you, though he has embraced your religion, you should return him to us, and should not
interfere between us and him." Suhail refused to conclude the truce with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) except on
this condition. The believers disliked this condition and got disgusted with it and argued about it. But
when Suhail refused to conclude the truce with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) except on that condition, Allah's
Apostle concluded it. Accordingly, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then returned Abu Jandal bin Suhail to his father,
Suhail bin `Amr, and returned every man coming to him from them during that period even if he was a
Muslim. The believing women Emigrants came (to Medina) and Um Kulthum, the daughter of `Uqba
bin Abi Mu'ait was one of those who came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and she was an adult at that time. Her
relatives came, asking Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to return her to them, and in this connection, Allah revealed the
Verses dealing with the believing (women).

Aisha said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to test all the believing
women who migrated to him, with the following Verse:
-- "O Prophet! When the believing Women
come to you, to give the pledge of allegiance to you." (60.12)
`Urwa's uncle said, "We were informed when Allah ordered His Apostle to return to the pagans what
they had given to their wives who lately migrated (to Medina) and we were informed that Abu
Basir..." relating the whole narration.

Narrated Nafi`:
`Abdullah bin `Umar set out for Umra during the period of afflictions, and he said, "If I should be
stopped from visiting the Ka`ba, I will do what we did when we were with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." He
assumed Ihram for `Umra in the year of Al-Hudaibiya.

Narrated Nafi`:
Ibn `Umar assumed Ihram and said, "If something should intervene between me and the Ka`ba, then I
will do what the Prophet (ﷺ) did when the Quraish infidels intervened between him and (the Ka`ba). Then
Ibn `Umar recited: "You have indeed in Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) A good example to follow." (33.21)

Narrated Nafi`:
One of `Abdullah's sons said to `Abdullah (bin `Umar) "I wish you would stay this year (and not
perform Hajj) as I am afraid that you will not be able to reach the Ka`ba." On that he (i.e. `Abdullah
bin `Umar) said, "We went out with the Prophet (for `Umra), and when the Quraish infidel intervened
between us and the Ka`ba, the Prophet (ﷺ) slaughtered his Hadi and shaved (his head), and his
companions cut short their hair." Then `Abdullah bin `Umar said, "I make you witness that I have
intended to perform `Umra and if I am allowed to reach the Ka`ba, I will perform the Tawaf, and if
something (i.e. obstacles) intervene between me and the Ka`ba, then I will do what Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
did." Then after going for a while, he said, "I consider the ceremonies (of both `Umra and Hajj as one
and the same, so I would like you to witness that I have intended to perform Hajj along with my
`Umra." So he performed only one Tawaf and one Sai (between Safa and Marwa) and finished the
Ihram of both Umra and Hajj).

Narrated Nafi`:
The people used to say that Ibn `Umar had embraced Islam before `Umar. This is not true. What
happened is that `Umar sent `Abdullah to bring his horse from an Ansari man so as to fight on it. At
that time the people were giving the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) near the Tree, and `Umar
was not aware of that. So `Abdullah (bin `Umar) gave the Pledge of Allegiance (to the Prophet) and
went to take the horse and brought it to `Umar. While `Umar was putting on the armor to get ready for
fighting, `Abdullah informed him that the people were giving the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's
Apostle beneath the Tree. So `Umar set out and `Abdullah accompanied him till he gave the Pledge of
allegiance to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and it was this event that made people say that Ibn `Umar had embraced
Islam before `Umar.

`Abdullah bin `Umar added:
"The people were along with the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day
of Al-Hudaibiya spreading in the shade of the trees. Suddenly the people surrounded the Prophet (ﷺ) and
started looking at him." `Umar said, "O `Abdullah! Go and see why the people are encircling Allah's
Apostle and looking at him." `Abdullah bin `Umar then saw the people giving the Pledge o allegiance
to the Prophet. So he also gave the Pledge of allegiance and returned to `Umar who went out in his
turn and gave the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet.'

Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi `Aufa:
We were in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) when he performed the `Umra. He performed the Tawaf and
we did the same; he offered the prayer and we also offered the prayer with him. Then he performed
the Sai between Safa and Marwa and we were guarding him against the people of Mecca so that
nobody should harm him.

Narrated Abu Wail:
When Sahl bin Hunaif returned from (the battle of) Siffin, we went to ask him (as to why he had come
back). He replied, "(You should not consider me a coward) but blame your opinions. I saw myself on
the day of Abu Jandal (inclined to fight), and if I had the power of refusing the order of Allah's
Apostle then, I would have refused it (and fought the infidels bravely). Allah and His Apostle know
(what is convenient) better. Whenever we put our swords on our shoulders for any matter that terrified
us, our swords led us to an easy agreeable solution before the present situation (of disagreement and
dispute between the Muslims). When we mend the breach in one side, it opened in another, and we do
not know what to do about it."

Narrated Ka`b bin Ujra:
The Prophet (ﷺ) came to me at the time of Al-Hudaibiya Pledge while lice were falling on my face. He
said, "Are the lice of your head troubling you?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Shave your head and fast for
three days, or feed six poor persons, or slaughter a sheep as sacrifice." (The sub-narrator, Aiyub said,
"I do not know with which of these three options he started.")

Narrated Ka`b bin Ujra:
We were in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) at Al-Hudaibiya in the state of Ihram and the pagans did
not allow us to proceed (to the Ka`ba). I had thick hair and lice started falling on my face. The Prophet (ﷺ)
passed by me and said, "Are the lice of your head troubling you?" I replied, Yes." (The sub-narrator
added, "Then the following Divine Verse was revealed:-- "And if anyone of you is ill or has an
ailment in his scalp, (necessitating shaving) must pay a ransom (Fida) of either fasting or feeding the
poor, Or offering a sacrifice." (2.196)

Narrated Anas:
Some people of the tribe of `Ukl and `Uraina arrived at Medina to meet the Prophet (ﷺ) and embraced
Islam and said, "O Allah's Prophet! We are the owners of milch livestock (i.e. bedouins) and not
farmers (i.e. countrymen)." They found the climate of Medina unsuitable for them. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
ordered that they should be provided with some milch camels and a shepherd and ordered them to go
out of Medina and to drink the camels' milk and urine (as medicine) So they set out and when they
reached Al-Harra, they reverted to Heathenism after embracing Islam, and killed the shepherd of the
Prophet and drove away the camels. When this news reached the Prophet, he sent some people in
pursuit of them. (So they were caught and brought back to the Prophet (ﷺ) ). The Prophet (ﷺ) gave his orders
in their concern. So their eyes were branded with pieces of iron and their hands and legs were cut off
and they were left away in Harra till they died in that state of theirs. (See Hadith 234 Vol 1)

Narrated Abu Raja:
The freed slave of Abu Qilaba, who was with Abu Qilaba in Sham: `Umar bin `Abdul `Aziz consulted
the people saying, "What do you think of Qasama." They said, "'It is a right (judgment) which Allah's
Apostle and the Caliphs before you acted on." Abu Qilaba was behind `Umar's bed. 'Anbasa bin Sa`id
said, But what about the narration concerning the people of `Uraina?" Abu Qilaba said, "Anas bin
Malik narrated it to me," and then narrated the whole story.

Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa`:
Once I went (from Medina) towards (Al-Ghaba) before the first Adhan of the Fajr Prayer. The shecamels
of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to graze at a place called Dhi-Qarad. A slave of `Abdur-Rahman bin
`Auf met me (on the way) and said, "The she-camels of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had been taken away by
force." I asked, "Who had taken them?" He replied "(The people of) Ghatafan." I made three loud
cries (to the people of Medina) saying, "O Sabahah!" I made the people between the two mountains of
Medina hear me. Then I rushed onward and caught up with the robbers while they were watering the
camels. I started throwing arrows at them as I was a good archer and I was saying, "I am the son of
Al-Akwa`, and today will perish the wicked people." I kept on saying like that till I restored the shecamels
(of the Prophet), I also snatched thirty Burda (i.e. garments) from them. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) and
the other people came there, and I said, "O Allah's Prophet! I have stopped the people (of Ghatafan)
from taking water and they are thirsty now. So send (some people) after them now." On that the
Prophet said, "O the son of Al-Akwa`! You have over-powered them, so forgive them." Then we all
came back and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) seated me behind him on his she-camel till we entered Medina.

Narrated Suwaid bin An-Nu`man:
I went out in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) in the year of Khaibar, and when we reached As Sahba'
which is the lower part of Khaibar, the Prophet (ﷺ) offered the `Asr prayer and then asked the people to
collect the journey food. Nothing was brought but Sawiq which the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered to be moistened
with water, and then he ate it and we also ate it. Then he got up to offer the Maghrib prayer. He
washed his mouth, and we too washed our mouths, and then he offered the prayer without repeating
his abulution.

Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa`:
We went out to Khaibar in the company of the Prophet. While we were proceeding at night, a man
from the group said to 'Amir, "O 'Amir! Won't you let us hear your poetry?" 'Amir was a poet, so he
got down and started reciting for the people poetry that kept pace with the camels' footsteps, saying:--
"O Allah! Without You we Would not have been guided On the right path Neither would be have
given In charity, nor would We have prayed. So please forgive us, what we have committed (i.e. our
defects); let all of us Be sacrificed for Your Cause And send Sakina (i.e. calmness) Upon us to make
our feet firm When we meet our enemy, and If they will call us towards An unjust thing, We will
refuse. The infidels have made a hue and Cry to ask others' help Against us." The Prophet (ﷺ) on that,
asked, "Who is that (camel) driver (reciting poetry)?" The people said, "He is 'Amir bin Al-Akwa`."
Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on him." A man amongst the people said, "O
Allah's Prophet! has (martyrdom) been granted to him. Would that you let us enjoy his company
longer." Then we reached and besieged Khaibar till we were afflicted with severe hunger. Then Allah
helped the Muslims conquer it (i.e. Khaibar). In the evening of the day of the conquest of the city, the
Muslims made huge fires. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What are these fires? For cooking what, are you making
the fire?" The people replied, "(For cooking) meat." He asked, "What kind of meat?" They (i.e.
people) said, "The meat of donkeys." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Throw away the meat and break the pots!"
Some man said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we throw away the meat and wash the pots instead?" He
said, "(Yes, you can do) that too." So when the army files were arranged in rows (for the clash),
'Amir's sword was short and he aimed at the leg of a Jew to strike it, but the sharp blade of the sword
returned to him and injured his own knee, and that caused him to die. When they returned from the
battle, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw me (in a sad mood). He took my hand and said, "What is bothering you?" I
replied, "Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you! The people say that the deeds of 'Amir are
lost." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever says so, is mistaken, for 'Amir has got a double reward." The
Prophet raised two fingers and added, "He (i.e. Amir) was a persevering struggler in the Cause of
Allah and there are few 'Arabs who achieved the like of (good deeds) 'Amir had done."

Narrated Anas:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) reached Khaibar at night and it was his habit that, whenever he reached the enemy at
night, he will not attack them till it was morning. When it was morning, the Jews came out with their
spades and baskets, and when they saw him(i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) ), they said, "Muhammad! By Allah!
Muhammad and his army!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a
(hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
We reached Khaibar early in the morning and the inhabitants of Khaibar
came out carrying their spades, and when they saw the Prophet (ﷺ) they said, "Muhammad! By Allah!
Muhammad and his army!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allahu-Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we
approach a (hostile) nation (to fight) then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned."
We then got the meat of donkeys (and intended to eat it), but an announcement was made by the
announcer of the Prophet, "Allah and His Apostle forbid you to eat the meat of donkeys as it is an
impure thing."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Someone came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)s and said, "The donkeys have been eaten (by the Muslims)." The
Prophet kept quiet. Then the man came again and said, "The donkeys have been eaten." The Prophet (ﷺ)
kept quiet. The man came to him the third time and said, "The donkeys have been consumed." On that
the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered an announcer to announce to the people, "Allah and His Apostle forbid you to eat
the meat of donkeys." Then the cooking pots were upset while the meat was still boiling in them.

Narrated Anas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) offered the Fajr Prayer near Khaibar when it was still dark and then said, "Allahu-Akbar!
Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the
morning for those who have been warned." Then the inhabitants of Khaibar came out running on the
roads. The Prophet (ﷺ) had their warriors killed, their offspring and woman taken as captives. Safiya was
amongst the captives, She first came in the share of Dahya Alkali but later on she belonged to the
Prophet . The Prophet (ﷺ) made her manumission as her 'Mahr'.

Narrated `Abdul `Aziz bin Suhaib:
Anas bin Malik said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) took Safiya as a captive. He manumitted her and married her."
Thabit asked Anas, "What did he give her as Mahr (i.e. marriage gift)?" Anas replied. "Her Mahr was
herself, for he manumitted her."

Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As Saidi:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (and his army) encountered the pagans and the two armies.,, fought and then Allah's
Apostle returned to his army camps and the others (i.e. the enemy) returned to their army camps.
Amongst the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) there was a man who could not help pursuing any single
isolated pagan to strike him with his sword. Somebody said, "None has benefited the Muslims today
more than so-and-so." On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "He is from the people of the Hell-Fire certainly."
A man amongst the people (i.e. Muslims) said, "I will accompany him (to know the fact)." So he went
along with him, and whenever he stopped he stopped with him, and whenever he hastened, he
hastened with him. The (brave) man then got wounded severely, and seeking to die at once, he planted
his sword into the ground and put its point against his chest in between his breasts, and then threw
himself on it and committed suicide. On that the person (who was accompanying the deceased all the
time) came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "I testify that you are the Messenger of Allah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Why is that (what makes you say so)?" He said "It is concerning the man whom you have already
mentioned as one of the dwellers of the Hell-Fire. The people were surprised by your statement, and I
said to them, "I will try to find out the truth about him for you." So I went out after him and he was
then inflicted with a severe wound and because of that, he hurried to bring death upon himself by
planting the handle of his sword into the ground and directing its tip towards his chest between his
breasts, and then he threw himself over it and committed suicide." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then said, "A man
may do what seem to the people as the deeds of the dwellers of Paradise but he is from the dwellers of
the Hell-Fire and another may do what seem to the people as the deeds of the dwellers of the Hell-
Fire, but he is from the dwellers of Paradise."

Narrated Abu Huraira:
We witnessed (the battle of) Khaibar. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said about one of those who were with him and
who claimed to be a Muslim. "This (man) is from the dwellers of the Hell-Fire." When the battle
started, that fellow fought so violently and bravely that he received plenty of wounds. Some of the
people were about to doubt (the Prophet's statement), but the man, feeling the pain of his wounds, put
his hand into his quiver and took out of it, some arrows with which he slaughtered himself (i.e.
committed suicide). Then some men amongst the Muslims came hurriedly and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Allah has made your statement true so-and-so has committed suicide. "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O
so-and-so! Get up and make an announcement that none but a believer will enter Paradise and that
Allah may support the religion with an unchaste (evil) wicked man.

(narration about the chain of narrators)

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari:
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) fought the battle of Khaibar, or when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went towards it,
(whenever) the people, (passed over a high place overlooking a valley, they raised their voices saying,
"Allahu-Akbar! Allahu-Akbar! None has the right to be worshipped except Allah." On that Allah's
Apostle said (to them), "Lower your voices, for you are not calling a deaf or an absent one, but you
are calling a Hearer Who is near and is with you." I was behind the riding animal of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
and he heard me saying. "There Is neither might, nor power but with Allah," On that he said to me, "O
`Abdullah bin Qais!" I said, "Labbaik. O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "Shall I tell you a sentence which
is one of the treasures of Paradise" I said, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Let my father and mother be
sacrificed for your sake." He said, "It is: There is neither might nor power but with Allah."

Narrated Yazid bin Abi Ubaid:
I saw the trace of a wound in Salama's leg. I said to him, "O Abu Muslim! What is this wound?" He
said, "This was inflicted on me on the day of Khaibar and the people said, 'Salama has been wounded.'
Then I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he puffed his saliva in it (i.e. the wound) thrice., and since then I have
not had any pain in it till this hour."

Narrated Sahl:
During one of his Ghazawat, the Prophet (ﷺ) encountered the pagans, and the two armies fought, and then
each of them returned to their army camps. Amongst the (army of the) Muslims there was a man who
would follow every pagan separated from the army and strike him with his sword. It was said, "O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! None has fought so satisfactorily as so-and-so (namely, that brave Muslim). "The
Prophet said, "He is from the dwellers of the Hell-Fire." The people said, "Who amongst us will be of
the dwellers of Paradise if this (man) is from the dwellers of the Hell-Fire?" Then a man from
amongst the people said, "I will follow him and accompany him in his fast and slow movements." The
(brave) man got wounded, and wanting to die at once, he put the handle of his sword on the ground
and its tip in between his breasts, and then threw himself over it, committing suicide. Then the man
(who had watched the deceased) returned to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "I testify that you are Apostle of
Allah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What is this?" The man told him the whole story. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A
man may do what may seem to the people as the deeds of the dwellers of Paradise, but he is of the
dwellers of the Hell-Fire and a man may do what may seem to the people as the deeds of the dwellers
of the Hell-Fire, but he is from the dwellers of Paradise."

Narrated Abu `Imran:
Anas looked at the people wearing Tailsans (i.e. a special kind of head covering worn by Jews in old
days). On that Anas said, "At this moment they (i.e. those people) look like the Jews of Khaibar."

Narrated Salama:
`Ali remained behind the Prophet (ﷺ) during the Ghazwa of Khaibar as he was suffering from eye trouble.
He then said, "(How can) I remain behind the Prophet (ﷺ) ," and followed him. So when he slept on the
night of the conquest of Khaibar, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I will give the flag tomorrow, or tomorrow the
flag will be taken by a man who is loved by Allah and His Apostle , and (Khaibar) will be conquered
through him, (with Allah's help)" While every one of us was hopeful to have the flag, it was said,
"Here is `Ali" and the Prophet (ﷺ) gave him the flag and Khaibar was conquered through him (with
Allah's Help).

Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d:
On the day of Khaibar, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Tomorrow I will give this flag to a man through whose
hands Allah will give us victory. He loves Allah and His Apostle, and he is loved by Allah and His
Apostle." The people remained that night, wondering as to who would be given it. In the morning the
people went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and everyone of them was hopeful to receive it (i.e. the flag). The
Prophet said, "Where is `Ali bin Abi Talib?" It was said, "He is suffering from eye trouble O Allah's
Apostle." He said, "Send for him." `Ali was brought and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) spat in his eye and invoked
good upon him. So `Ali was cured as if he never had any trouble. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) gave him the flag.
`Ali said "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I will fight with them till they become like us." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said,
"Proceed and do not hurry. When you enter their territory, call them to embrace Islam and inform
them of Allah's Rights which they should observe, for by Allah, even if a single man is led on the
right path (of Islam) by Allah through you, then that will be better for you than the nice red camels.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
We arrived at Khaibar, and when Allah helped His Apostle to open the fort, the beauty of Safiya bint
Huyai bin Akhtaq whose husband had been killed while she was a bride, was mentioned to Allah's
Apostle. The Prophet (ﷺ) selected her for himself, and set out with her, and when we reached a place
called Sidd-as-Sahba,' Safiya became clean from her menses then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) married her. Hais
(i.e. an 'Arabian dish) was prepared on a small leather mat. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "I invite the
people around you." So that was the marriage banquet of the Prophet (ﷺ) and Safiya. Then we proceeded
towards Medina, and I saw the Prophet, making for her a kind of cushion with his cloak behind him
(on his camel). He then sat beside his camel and put his knee for Safiya to put her foot on, in order to
ride (on the camel).

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet (ﷺ) stayed with Safiya bint Huyai for three days on the way of Khaibar where he
consummated his marriage with her. Safiya was amongst those who were ordered to use a veil.

Narrated Anas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) stayed for three rights between Khaibar and Medina and was married to Safiya. I invited
the Muslim to h s marriage banquet and there wa neither meat nor bread in that banquet but the
Prophet ordered Bilal to spread the leather mats on which dates, dried yogurt and butter were put. The
Muslims said amongst themselves, "Will she (i.e. Safiya) be one of the mothers of the believers, (i.e.
one of the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) ) or just (a lady captive) of what his right-hand possesses" Some of
them said, "If the Prophet (ﷺ) makes her observe the veil, then she will be one of the mothers of the
believers (i.e. one of the Prophet's wives), and if he does not make her observe the veil, then she will
be his lady slave." So when he departed, he made a place for her behind him (on his and made her
observe the veil.

Narrated `Abdullah bin Mughaffal:
While we were besieging Khaibar, a person threw a leather container containing some fat and I ran to
take it. Suddenly I looked behind, and behold! The Prophet (ﷺ) was there. So I felt shy (to take it then).

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
On the day of Khaiber, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the eating of garlic and the meat of donkeys.

Narrated `Ali bin Abi Talib:
On the day of Khaibar, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the Mut'a (i.e. temporary marriage) and the eating of
donkey-meat.

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
On the day of Khaibar, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the eating of donkey meat.

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the eating of donkey-meat.

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
On the day of Khaibar, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the eating of donkey meat and allowed the eating of
horse meat.

Narrated Ibn Abi `Aufa:
We where afflicted with severe hunger on the day of Khaibar. While the cooking pots were boiling
and some of the food was well-cooked, the announcer of the Prophet (ﷺ) came to say, "Do not eat
anything the donkey-meat and upset the cooking pots." We then thought that the Prophet (ﷺ) had
prohibited such food because the Khumus had not been taken out of it. Some others said, "He
prohibited the meat of donkeys from the point of view of principle, because donkeys used to eat dirty
things."

Narrated Al-Bara and `Abdullah bin Abl `Aufa:
That when they were in the company of the Prophet, they got some donkeys which they (slaughtered
and) cooked. Then the announcer of the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Turn the cooking pots upside down (i.e. throw
out the meat).

Narrated Al-Bara' and Ibn Abi `Aufa:
On the day of Khaibar when the cooking pots were put on the fire, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Turn the cooking
pots upside down."

Narrated Al-Bara:
We took part in a Ghazwa with the Prophet (same as Hadith No. 533).

Narrated Al-Bara Bin Azib:
During the Ghazwa of Khaibar, the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to throw away the meat of the donkeys
whether it was still raw or cooked. He did not allow us to eat it later on.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
I do not know whether the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade the eating of donkey-meat (temporarily) because they were
the beasts of burden for the people, and he disliked that their means of transportation should be lost, or
he forbade it on the day of Khaibar permanently.

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
On the day of Khaibar, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) divided (the war booty of Khaibar) with the ratio of two shares
for the horse and one-share for the foot soldier. (The sub-narrator, Nafi` explained this, saying, "If a
man had a horse, he was given three shares and if he had no horse, then he was given one share.")

Narrated Jubair bin Mut`im:
`Uthman bin `Affan and I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "You had given Banu Al-Muttalib from the
Khumus of Khaibar's booty and left us in spite of the fact that we and Banu Al-Muttalib are similarly
related to you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Banu Hashim and Banu Al-Muttalib only are one and the same."
So the Prophet (ﷺ) did not give anything to Banu `Abd Shams and Banu Nawfal.

Narrated Abu Musa:
The news of the migration of the Prophet (from Mecca to Medina) reached us while we were in
Yemen. So we set out as emigrants towards him. We were (three) I and my two brothers. I was the
youngest of them, and one of the two was Abu Burda, and the other, Abu Ruhm, and our total number
was either 53 or 52 men from my people. We got on board a boat and our boat took us to Negus in
Ethiopia. There we met Ja`far bin Abi Talib and stayed with him. Then we all came (to Medina) and
met the Prophet (ﷺ) at the time of the conquest of Khaibar. Some of the people used to say to us, namely
the people of the ship, "We have migrated before you."
Asma' bint 'Umais who was one of those who had come with us, came as a visitor to Hafsa, the wife
the Prophet (ﷺ) . She had migrated along with those other Muslims who migrated to Negus. `Umar came
to Hafsa while Asma' bint 'Umais was with her. `Umar, on seeing Asma,' said, "Who is this?" She
said, "Asma' bint 'Umais," `Umar said, "Is she the Ethiopian? Is she the sea-faring lady?" Asma'
replied, "Yes." `Umar said, "We have migrated before you (people of the boat), so we have got more
right than you over Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) " On that Asma' became angry and said, "No, by Allah, while you
were with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who was feeding the hungry ones amongst you, and advised the ignorant
ones amongst you, we were in the far-off hated land of Ethiopia, and all that was for the sake of
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . By Allah, I will neither eat any food nor drink anything till I inform Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
of all that you have said. There we were harmed and frightened. I will mention this to the Prophet (ﷺ) and
will not tell a lie or curtail your saying or add something to it."

So when the Prophet (ﷺ) came, she said, "O Allah's Prophet `Umar has said so-and-so." He said (to
Asma'), "What did you say to him?" Asma's aid, "I told him so-and-so." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He (i.e.
`Umar) has not got more right than you people over me, as he and his companions have (the reward
of) only one migration, and you, the people of the boat, have (the reward of) two migrations." Asma'
later on said, "I saw Abu Musa and the other people of the boat coming to me in successive groups,
asking me about this narration,, and to them nothing in the world was more cheerful and greater than
what the Prophet (ﷺ) had said about them."
Narrated Abu Burda:
Asma' said, "I saw Abu Musa requesting me to repeat this narration again and
again."

Narrated Abu Burda:
Abu Musa said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I recognize the voice of the group of Al-
Ashariyun, when they recite the Qur'an, when they enter their homes at night, and I recognize their
houses by (listening) to their voices when they are reciting the Qur'an at night although I have not
seen their houses when they came to them during the day time. Amongst them is Hakim who, on
meeting the cavalry or the enemy, used to say to them (i.e. the enemy). My companions order you to
wait for them.' "

Narrated Abu Musa:
We came upon the Prophet (ﷺ) after he had conquered Khaibar. He then gave us a share (from the booty),
but apart from us he did not give to anybody else who did not attend the Conquest.

Narrated Abu Huraira:
When we conquered Khaibar, we gained neither gold nor silver as booty, but we gained cows, camels,
goods and gardens. Then we departed with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to the valley of Al-Qira, and at that time
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had a slave called Mid`am who had been presented to him by one of Banu Ad-Dibbab.
While the slave was dismounting the saddle of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) an arrow the thrower of which was
unknown, came and hit him. The people said, "Congratulations to him for the martyrdom." Allah's
Apostle said, "No, by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, the sheet (of cloth) which he had taken
(illegally) on the day of Khaibar from the booty before the distribution of the booty, has become a
flame of Fire burning him." On hearing that, a man brought one or two leather straps of shoes to the
Prophet and said, "These are things I took (illegally)." On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "This is a strap, or
these are two straps of Fire."

Narrated `Umar bin Al-Khattab:
By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, were I not afraid that the other Muslims might be left in poverty, I
would divide (the land of) whatever village I may conquer (among the fighters), as the Prophet (ﷺ)
divided the land of Khaibar. But I prefer to leave it as a (source of) a common treasury for them to
distribute it revenue amongst themselves.

Narrated `Umar:
But for the other Muslims (i.e. coming generations) I would divide (the land of) whatever villages the
Muslims might conquer (among the fighters), as the Prophet (ﷺ) divided (the land of) Khaibar.

Narrated 'Anbasa bin Sa`id:
Abu Huraira came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and asked him (for a share from the Khaibar booty). On that, one of
the sons of Sa`id bin Al-`As said to him, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Do not give him." Abu Huraira then said
(to the Prophet (ﷺ) ) "This is the murderer of Ibn Qauqal." Sa`id's son said, "How strange! A guinea pig
coming from Qadum Ad-Dan!"

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent Aban from Medina to Najd as the commander of a Sariya.
Aban and his companions came to the Prophet (ﷺ) at Khaibar after the Prophet (ﷺ) had conquered it, and the
reins of their horses were made of the fire of date palm trees. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Do not give
them a share of the booty." on, that, Aban said (to me), "Strange! You suggest such a thing though
you are what you are, O guinea pig coming down from the top of Ad-Dal (a lotus tree)! "On that the
Prophet said, "O Aban, sit down ! " and did not give them any share.

Narrated Sa`id:
Aban bin Sa`id came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and greeted him. Abu Huraira said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! This
(Aban) is the murderer of the Ibn Qauqal." (On hearing that), Aban said to Abu Huraira, "How strange
your saying is! You, a guinea pig, descending from Qadum Dan, blaming me for (killing) a person
whom Allah favored (with martyrdom) with my hand, and whom He forbade to degrade me with his
hand.'

Narrated `Aisha:
Fatima the daughter of the Prophet (ﷺ) sent someone to Abu Bakr (when he was a caliph), asking for her
inheritance of what Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had left of the property bestowed on him by Allah from the Fai
(i.e. booty gained without fighting) in Medina, and Fadak, and what remained of the Khumus of the
Khaibar booty. On that, Abu Bakr said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Our property is not inherited.
Whatever we leave, is Sadaqa, but the family of (the Prophet) Muhammad can eat of this property.' By
Allah, I will not make any change in the state of the Sadaqa of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and will leave it as it
was during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and will dispose of it as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to do." So
Abu Bakr refused to give anything of that to Fatima. So she became angry with Abu Bakr and kept
away from him, and did not task to him till she died. She remained alive for six months after the death
of the Prophet. When she died, her husband `Ali, buried her at night without informing Abu Bakr and
he said the funeral prayer by himself. When Fatima was alive, the people used to respect `Ali much,
but after her death, `Ali noticed a change in the people's attitude towards him. So `Ali sought
reconciliation with Abu Bakr and gave him an oath of allegiance. `Ali had not given the oath of
allegiance during those months (i.e. the period between the Prophet's death and Fatima's death). `Ali
sent someone to Abu Bakr saying, "Come to us, but let nobody come with you," as he disliked that
`Umar should come, `Umar said (to Abu Bakr), "No, by Allah, you shall not enter upon them alone "
Abu Bakr said, "What do you think they will do to me? By Allah, I will go to them' So Abu Bakr
entered upon them, and then `Ali uttered Tashah-hud and said (to Abu Bakr), "We know well your
superiority and what Allah has given you, and we are not jealous of the good what Allah has bestowed
upon you, but you did not consult us in the question of the rule and we thought that we have got a
right in it because of our near relationship to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ."
Thereupon Abu Bakr's eyes flowed with tears. And when Abu Bakr spoke, he said, "By Him in
Whose Hand my soul is to keep good relations with the relatives of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) is dearer to me
than to keep good relations with my own relatives. But as for the trouble which arose between me and
you about his property, I will do my best to spend it according to what is good, and will not leave any
rule or regulation which I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) following, in disposing of it, but I will follow." On that
`Ali said to Abu Bakr, "I promise to give you the oath of allegiance in this after noon." So when Abu
Bakr had offered the Zuhr prayer, he ascended the pulpit and uttered the Tashah-hud and then
mentioned the story of `Ali and his failure to give the oath of allegiance, and excused him, accepting
what excuses he had offered; Then `Ali (got up) and praying (to Allah) for forgiveness, he uttered
Tashah-hud, praised Abu Bakr's right, and said, that he had not done what he had done because of
jealousy of Abu Bakr or as a protest of that Allah had favored him with. `Ali added, "But we used to
consider that we too had some right in this affair (of rulership) and that he (i.e. Abu Bakr) did not
consult us in this matter, and therefore caused us to feel sorry." On that all the Muslims became happy
and said, "You have done the right thing." The Muslims then became friendly with `Ali as he returned
to what the people had done (i.e. giving the oath of allegiance to Abu Bakr).

Narrated `Aisha:
When Khaibar was conquered, we said, "Now we will eat our fill of dates!"

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
We did not eat our fill except after we had conquered Khaibar.

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri and Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) appointed a man as the ruler of Khaibar who later brought some Janib (i.e. dates of
good quality) to the Prophet. On that, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to him). "Are all the dates of Khaibar like
this?" He said, "No, by Allah, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! But we take one Sa of these (dates of good quality)
for two or three Sa's of other dates (of inferior quality)." On that, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Do not do so,
but first sell the inferior quality dates for money and then with that money, buy Janib."

Abu Sa`id and
Abu Huraira said:
"The Prophet (ﷺ) made the brother of Bani Adi from the Ansar as the ruler of Khaibar.

Narrated `Abdullah:
The Prophet (ﷺ) gave (the land of) Khaibar to the Jews (of Khaibar) on condition that they would work on
it and cultivate it and they would have half of its yield.

Narrated Abu Huraira:
When Khaibar was conquered, a (cooked) sheep containing poison, was given as a present to Allah's
Apostle.

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) appointed Usama bin Zaid as the commander of some people. Those people criticized
his leadership. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If you speak ill of his leadership, you have already spoken ill of his
father's leadership before. By Allah, he deserved to be a Commander, and he was one of the most
beloved persons to me and now this (i.e. Usama) is one of the most beloved persons to me after him.

Narrated Al-Bara:
When the Prophet (ﷺ) went out for the `Umra in the month of Dhal-Qa'da, the people of Mecca did not
allow him to enter Mecca till he agreed to conclude a peace treaty with them by virtue of which he
would stay in Mecca for three days only (in the following year). When the agreement was being
written, the Muslims wrote: "This is the peace treaty, which Muhammad, Apostle of Allah has
concluded."
The infidels said (to the Prophet), "We do not agree with you on this, for if we knew that you are
Apostle of Allah we would not have prevented you for anything (i.e. entering Mecca, etc.), but you are
Muhammad, the son of `Abdullah." Then he said to `Ali, "Erase (the name of) 'Apostle of Allah'." `Ali
said, "No, by Allah, I will never erase you (i.e. your name)." Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took the writing
sheet...and he did not know a better writing..and he wrote or got it the following written! "This is the
peace treaty which Muhammad, the son of `Abdullah, has concluded: "Muhammad should not bring
arms into Mecca except sheathed swords, and should not take with him any person of the people of
Mecca even if such a person wanted to follow him, and if any of his companions wants to stay in
Mecca, he should not forbid him."
(In the next year) when the Prophet (ﷺ) entered Mecca and the allowed period of stay elapsed, the infidels
came to `Ali and said "Tell your companion (Muhammad) to go out, as the allowed period of his stay
has finished." So the Prophet (ﷺ) departed (from Mecca) and the daughter of Hamza followed him
shouting "O Uncle, O Uncle!" `Ali took her by the hand and said to Fatima, "Take the daughter of
your uncle." So she made her ride (on her horse). (When they reached Medina) `Ali, Zaid and Ja`far
quarreled about her. `Ali said, "I took her for she is the daughter of my uncle." Ja`far said, "She is the
daughter of my uncle and her aunt is my wife." Zaid said, "She is the daughter of my brother." On
that, the Prophet (ﷺ) gave her to her aunt and said, "The aunt is of the same status as the mother." He then
said to `Ali, "You are from me, and I am from you," and said to Ja`far, "You resemble me in
appearance and character," and said to Zaid, "You are our brother and our freed slave." `Ali said to the
Prophet 'Won't you marry the daughter of Hamza?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "She is the daughter of my
foster brother."

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out with the intention of performing `Umra, but the infidels of Quraish intervened
between him and the Ka`ba, so the Prophet (ﷺ) slaughtered his Hadi (i.e. sacrificing animals and shaved
his head at Al-Hudaibiya and concluded a peace treaty with them (i.e. the infidels) on condition that
he would perform the `Umra the next year and that he would not carry arms against them except
swords, and would not stay (in Mecca) more than what they would allow. So the Prophet (ﷺ) performed
the `Umra in the following year and according to the peace treaty, he entered Mecca, and when he had
stayed there for three days, the infidels ordered him to leave, and he left.

Narrated Mujahid:
`Urwa and I entered the Mosque and found `Abdullah bin `Umar sitting beside the dwelling place of
`Aisha. `Urwa asked (Ibn `Umar), "How many `Umras did the Prophet (ﷺ) perform?" Ibn `Umar replied,
"Four, one of which was in Rajab." Then we heard `Aisha brushing her teeth whereupon `Urwa said,
"O mother of the believers! Don't you hear what Abu `Abdur-Rahman is saying? He is saying that the
Prophet performed four `Umra, one of which was in Rajab." `Aisha said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) did not
perform any `Umra but he (i.e. Ibn `Umar) witnessed it. And he (the Prophet (ﷺ) ) never did any `Umra in
(the month of) Rajab."

Narrated Ibn Abi `Aufa:
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) performed the `Umra (which he performed in the year following the treaty of
Al-Hudaibiya) we were screening Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) from the infidels and their boys lest they should
harm him.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and his companions arrived (at Mecca), the pagans said, "There have come to
you a group of people who have been weakened by the fever of Yathrib (i.e. Medina)." So the Prophet (ﷺ)
ordered his companions to do Ramal (i.e. fast walking) in the first three rounds of Tawaf around the
Ka`ba and to walk in between the two corners (i.e. the black stone and the Yemenite corner). The only
cause which prevented the Prophet (ﷺ) from ordering them to do Ramal in all the rounds of Tawaf, was
that he pitied them.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) hastened in going around the Ka`ba and between the Safa and Marwa in order to show
the pagans his strength. Ibn `Abbas added, "When the Prophet (ﷺ) arrived (at Mecca) in the year of peace
(following that of Al-Hudaibiya treaty with the pagans of Mecca), he (ordered his companions) to do
Ramal in order to show their strength to the pagans and the pagans were watching (the Muslims) from
(the hill of) Quaiqan.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) married Maimuna while he was in the state of lhram but he consummated that marriage
after finishing that state. Maimuna died at Saraf (i.e. a place near Mecca).

Ibn `Abbas added:
The
Prophet married Maimuna during the `Umrat-al-Qada' (i.e. the `Umra performed in lieu of the `Umra
which the Prophet (ﷺ) could not perform because the pagans, prevented him to perform that `Umra).

Narrated Nafi`:
Ibn `Umar informed me that on the day (of Mu'tah) he stood beside Ja`far who was dead (i.e. killed in
the battle), and he counted fifty wounds in his body, caused by stabs or strokes, and none of those
wounds was in his back.

`Abdullah bin `Umar said:
"Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) appointed Zaid bin Haritha as the commander of the army
during the Ghazwa of Mu'tah and said, "If Zaid is martyred, Ja`far should take over his position, and if
Ja`far is martyred, `Abdullah bin Rawaha should take over his position.' " `Abdulla-h bin `Umar
further said, "I was present amongst them in that battle and we searched for Ja`far bin Abi Talib and
found his body amongst the bodies of the martyred ones, and found over ninety wounds over his body,
caused by stabs or shots (of arrows).

Narrated Anas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) had informed the people of the martyrdom of Zaid, Ja`far and Ibn Rawaha before the
news of their death reached. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Zaid took the flag (as the commander of the army) and
was martyred, then Ja`far took it and was martyred, and then Ibn Rawaha took it and was martyred."
At that time the Prophet's eyes were shedding tears. He added, "Then the flag was taken by a Sword
amongst the Swords of Allah (i.e. Khalid) and Allah made them (i.e. the Muslims) victorious."

Narrated `Amra:
I heard `Aisha saying, "When the news of the martyrdom of Ibn Haritha, Ja`far bin Abi Talib and
`Abdullah bin Rawaka reached, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sat with sorrow explicit on his face." `Aisha added, "I
was then peeping through a chink in the door. A man came to him and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The
women of Ja`far are crying.' Thereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) told him to forbid them to do so. So the man went
away and returned saying, "I forbade them but they did not listen to me." The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered him
again to go (and forbid them). He went again and came saying, 'By Allah, they overpowered me (i.e.
did not listen to me)." `Aisha said that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to him), "Go and throw dust into their
mouths." Aisha added, "I said, May Allah put your nose in the dust! By Allah, neither have you done
what you have been ordered, nor have you relieved Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) from trouble."

Narrated 'Amir:
Whenever Ibn `Umar greeted the son of Ja`far, he used to say (to him), "Assalam 'Alaika (i.e. peace be
on you) O the son of two-winged person."

Narrated Khalid bin Al-Walid:
On the day (of the battle of) Mu'tah, nine swords were broken in my hand, and nothing was left in my
hand except a Yemenite sword of mine.

Narrated Khalid bin Al-Walid:
On the day of Mu'tah, nine swords were broken in my hand and only a Yemenite sword of mine
remained in my hand.

Narrated An-Nu`man bin Bashir:
`Abdullah bin Rawaha fell down unconscious and his sister `Amra started crying and was saying
loudly, "O Jabala! Oh so-and-so! Oh so-and-so! and went on calling him by his (good ) qualities one
by one). When he came to his senses, he said (to his sister), "When-ever you said something, I was
asked, 'Are you really so (i.e. as she says)?"

Narrated Ash Shabi:
An Nu`man bin Bashir said, "Abdullah bin Rawaha fell down unconscious.." (and mentioned the
above Hadith adding, "Thereupon, when he died she (i.e. his sister) did not weep over him."

Narrated Usama bin Zaid:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent us towards Al-Huruqa, and in the morning we attacked them and defeated them. I
and an Ansari man followed a man from among them and when we took him over, he said, "La ilaha
illal-Lah." On hearing that, the Ansari man stopped, but I killed him by stabbing him with my spear.
When we returned, the Prophet (ﷺ) came to know about that and he said, "O Usama! Did you kill him
after he had said "La ilaha ilal-Lah?" I said, "But he said so only to save himself." The Prophet (ﷺ) kept
on repeating that so often that I wished I had not embraced Islam before that day.

Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa`:
I fought in seven Ghazwat (i.e. battles) along with the Prophet (ﷺ) and fought in nine battles, fought by
armies dispatched by the Prophet. Once Abu Bakr was our commander and at another time, Usama
was our commander.

Narrated Salama (in another narration):
I fought seven Ghazwat (i.e. battles) along with the Prophet (ﷺ) and
also fought in nine battles, fought by armies sent by the Prophet (ﷺ) . Once Abu Bakr was our commander
and another time, Usama was (our commander).

Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa`:
I fought in nine Ghazwa-t along with the Prophet, I also fought along with Ibn Haritha when the
Prophet made him our commander.

Narrated Yazid bin Abi Ubaid:
Salama bin Al-Akwa` said, "I fought in seven Ghazwat along with the Prophet." He then mentioned
Khaibar, Al-Hudaibiya, the day (i.e. battle) of Hunain and the day of Al-Qurad. I forgot the names of
the other Ghazwat.

Narrated `Ali:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent me, Az-Zubair and Al-Miqdad saying, "Proceed till you reach Rawdat Khakh
where there is a lady carrying a letter, and take that (letter) from her." So we proceeded on our way
with our horses galloping till we reached the Rawda, and there we found the lady and said to her,
"Take out the letter." She said, "I have no letter." We said, "Take out the letter, or else we will take off
your clothes." So she took it out of her braid, and we brought the letter to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . The letter
was addressed from Hatib, bin Abi Balta'a to some pagans of Mecca, telling them about what Allah's
Apostle intended to do. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Hatib! What is this?" Hatib replied, "O Allah's
Apostle! Do not make a hasty decision about me. I was a person not belonging to Quraish but I was an
ally to them from outside and had no blood relation with them, and all the Emigrants who were with
you, have got their kinsmen (in Mecca) who can protect their families and properties. So I liked to do
them a favor so that they might protect my relatives as I have no blood relation with them. I did not do
this to renegade from my religion (i.e. Islam) nor did I do it to choose Heathenism after Islam."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to his companions." As regards him, he (i.e. Hatib) has told you the truth." `Umar
said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Allow me to chop off the head of this hypocrite!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He (i.e.
Hatib) has witnessed the Badr battle (i.e. fought in it) and what could tell you, perhaps Allah looked at
those who witnessed Badr and said, "O the people of Badr (i.e. Badr Muslim warriors), do what you
like, for I have forgiven you. "Then Allah revealed the Sura:--
"O you who believe! Take not my enemies And your enemies as friends offering them (Your) love
even though they have disbelieved in that Truth (i.e. Allah, Prophet Muhammad and this Qur'an)
which has come to you ....(to the end of Verse)....(And whosoever of you (Muslims) does that, then
indeed he has gone (far) astray (away) from the Straight Path." (60.1

Narrated Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah bin `Utba:
Ibn `Abbas said, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) fought the Ghazwa (i.e. battles of Al-Fath during Ramadan."
Narrated Az-Zuhri: Ibn Al-Musaiyab (also) said the same. Ibn `Abbas added, "The Prophet (ﷺ) fasted and
when he reached Al-Kadid, a place where there is water between Kudaid and 'Usfan, he broke his fast
and did not fast afterwards till the whole month had passed away.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) left Medina (for Mecca) in the company of ten-thousand (Muslim warriors) in (the month
of) Ramadan, and that was eight and a half years after his migration to Medina. He and the Muslims
who were with him, proceeded on their way to Mecca. He was fasting and they were fasting, but when
they reached a place called Al-Kadid which was a place of water between 'Usfan and Kudaid, he
broke his fast and so did they. (Az-Zuhri said, "One should take the last action of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and
leave his early action (while taking a verdict.")

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out towards Hunain in the month of Ramadan and some of the people were fasting
while some others were not fasting, and when the Prophet (ﷺ) mounted his she-camel, he asked for a
tumbler of milk or water and put it on the palm of his hand or on his she-camel and then the people
looked at him; and those who were not fasting told those who were fasting, to break their fast (i.e. as
the Prophet (ﷺ) had done so).

Ibn `Abbas added:
"The Prophet (ﷺ) went (to Hunain) in the year of the
Conquest (of Mecca).

Narrated Tawus:
Ibn `Abbas said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) travelled in the month of Ramadan and he fasted till he reached (a
place called) 'Usfan, then he asked for a tumbler of water and drank it by the daytime so that the
people might see him. He broke his fast till he reached Mecca." Ibn `Abbas used to say, "Allah's
Apostle fasted and sometimes did not fast while traveling, so one may fast or may not (on journeys)"

Narrated Hisham's father:
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out (towards Mecca) during the year of the Conquest (of Mecca) and this
news reached (the infidels of Quraish), Abu Sufyan, Hakim bin Hizam and Budail bin Warqa came
out to gather information about Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , They proceeded on their way till they reached a place
called Marr-az-Zahran (which is near Mecca). Behold! There they saw many fires as if they were the
fires of `Arafat. Abu Sufyan said, "What is this? It looked like the fires of `Arafat." Budail bin Warqa'
said, "Banu `Amr are less in number than that." Some of the guards of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw them and
took them over, caught them and brought them to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Abu Sufyan embraced Islam.
When the Prophet (ﷺ) proceeded, he said to Al-Abbas, "Keep Abu Sufyan standing at the top of the
mountain so that he would look at the Muslims. So Al-`Abbas kept him standing (at that place) and
the tribes with the Prophet (ﷺ) started passing in front of Abu Sufyan in military batches. A batch passed
and Abu Sufyan said, "O `Abbas Who are these?" `Abbas said, "They are (Banu) Ghifar." Abu Sufyan
said, I have got nothing to do with Ghifar." Then (a batch of the tribe of) Juhaina passed by and he
said similarly as above. Then (a batch of the tribe of) Sa`d bin Huzaim passed by and he said similarly
as above. then (Banu) Sulaim passed by and he said similarly as above. Then came a batch, the like of
which Abu Sufyan had not seen. He said, "Who are these?" `Abbas said, "They are the Ansar headed
by Sa`d bin Ubada, the one holding the flag." Sa`d bin Ubada said, "O Abu Sufyan! Today is the day
of a great battle and today (what is prohibited in) the Ka`ba will be permissible." Abu Sufyan said., "O
`Abbas! How excellent the day of destruction is! "Then came another batch (of warriors) which was
the smallest of all the batches, and in it there was Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and his companions and the flag of
the Prophet (ﷺ) was carried by Az-Zubair bin Al Awwam. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) passed by Abu Sufyan,
the latter said, (to the Prophet), "Do you know what Sa`d bin 'Ubada said?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What
did he say?" Abu Sufyan said, "He said so-and-so." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Sa`d told a lie, but today Allah
will give superiority to the Ka`ba and today the Ka`ba will be covered with a (cloth) covering."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered that his flag be fixed at Al-Hajun.
Narrated `Urwa: Nafi` bin Jubair bin Mut`im said, "I heard Al-Abbas saying to Az-Zubair bin Al-
`Awwam, 'O Abu `Abdullah ! Did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) order you to fix the flag here?' " Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
ordered Khalid bin Al-Walid to enter Mecca from its upper part from Ka'da while the Prophet (ﷺ) himself
entered from Kuda. Two men from the cavalry of Khalid bin Al-Wahd named Hubaish bin Al-Ash'ar
and Kurz bin Jabir Al-Fihri were martyred on that day.

Narrated `Abdullah bin Mughaffal:
I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the day of the Conquest of Mecca over his she-camel, reciting Surat-al-Fath
in a vibrant quivering tone. (The sub-narrator, Mu'awiya added, "Were I not afraid that the people may
gather around me, I would recite in vibrant quivering tone as he (i.e. `Abdullah bin Mughaffal) did,
imitating Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).")

Narrated `Amr bin `Uthman:
Usama bin Zaid said during the Conquest (of Mecca), "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Where will we encamp
tomorrow?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "But has `Aqil left for us any house to lodge in?" He then added, "No
believer will inherit an infidel's property, and no infidel will inherit the property of a believer." Az-
Zuhri was asked, "Who inherited Abu Talib?" Az-Zuhri replied, "Ail and Talib inherited him."

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If Allah makes us victorious, our encamping place will be Al-Khaif, the place
where the infidels took an oath to be loyal to Heathenism (by boycotting Banu Hashim, the Prophet's
folk).

Narrated Abu Huraira:
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) intended to carry on the Ghazwa of Hunain, he said, "Tomorrow, if Allah
wished, our encamping) plaice will be Khaif Bani Kinana where (the infidels) took an oath to be loyal
to Heathenism."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
On the day of the Conquest, the Prophet (ﷺ) entered Mecca, wearing a helmet on his head. When he took
it off, a man came and said, "Ibn Khatal is clinging to the curtain of the Ka`ba." The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Kill him." (Malik a sub-narrator said, "On that day the Prophet (ﷺ) was not in a state of Ihram as it
appeared to us, and Allah knows better.")

Narrated `Abdullah:
When the Prophet (ﷺ) entered Mecca on the day of the Conquest, there were 360 idols around the Ka`ba.
The Prophet (ﷺ) started striking them with a stick he had in his hand and was saying, "Truth has come and
Falsehood will neither start nor will it reappear.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) arrived in Mecca, he refused to enter the Ka`ba while there were idols in it. So
he ordered that they be taken out. The pictures of the (Prophets) Abraham and Ishmael, holding
arrows of divination in their hands, were carried out. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "May Allah ruin them (i.e. the
infidels) for they knew very well that they (i.e. Abraham and Ishmael) never drew lots by these
(divination arrows). Then the Prophet (ﷺ) entered the Ka`ba and said. "Allahu Akbar" in all its directions
and came out and not offer any prayer therein.

Narrated 'Abdullãh bin 'Umar (ra):
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered Makkah through its upper part and he was riding his she-camel. Usãma bin Zaid was his Companion-rider behind him (on the same she-camel). In his company were Bilãl and 'Uthmãn bin Talha, who was one of the Al-Hajabah (who keep the key of the gate of the Ka'bah). When he made his she-camel kneel down in the Mosque (i.e., Al-Masjid al-Haram), he ordered him (i.e., 'Uthman) to bring the key of the Ka'bah. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered the Ka'bah along with 'Usãma bin Zaid, Bilãl and 'Uthmãn bin Talha, and he stayed in it for a long period and then came out. The people rushed (to get in) and `Abdullãh bin 'Umar was the first to enter and he found Bilãl standing behind the door. Ibn `Umar asked Bilãl, "Where did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) offer the Salat
(prayer)?" Bilãl showed him the place
where he (ﷺ) had offered Salat (prayer).
`Abdullah later on said, "I forgot to ask Bilãl how many prostrations (i.e., Rak'a) the
Prophet offered."

who mentioned that the Prophet (ﷺ) took a bath in her house on the day of the Conquest (of Mecca) and
then offered an eight rak`at prayer. She added, "I never saw the Prophet (ﷺ) offering a lighter prayer than
that prayer, but he was performing perfect bowing and prostrations."

Narrated 'Aishah (ra):
The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say in his bowings and prostrations, "Subhanaka Allahumma
Rabbanã wa bihamdika, Allãhumma ighfirli"
(Glorified be You, O Allah, our Lord! All
the praises are for You. O Allah, forgive
me)!"

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
`Umar used to admit me (into his house) along with the old men who had fought in the Badr battle.
Some of them said (to `Umar), "Why do you allow this young man to enter with us, while we have
sons of his own age? " `Umar said, "You know what person he is." One day `Umar called them and
called me along with them, I had thought he called me on that day to show them something about me
(i.e. my knowledge). `Umar asked them, "What do you say about (the Sura): "When comes the help of
Allah and the Conquest (of Mecca) And you see mankind entering the Religion of Allah (i.e. Islam) in
crowds. 'So celebrate the Praises Of your Lord and ask for His forgiveness, Truly, He is the One Who
accepts repentance and forgives." (110.1-3)
Some of them replied, "We are ordered to praise Allah and repent to Him if we are helped and granted
victory." Some said, "We do not know." Others kept quiet. `Umar then said to me, "Do you say
similarly?" I said, "No." `Umar said "What do you say then?" I said, "This Verse indicates the
approaching of the death of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) of which Allah informed him. When comes the help of
Allah and the Conquest, i.e. the Conquest of Mecca, that will be the sign of your Prophet's)
approaching death, so testify the uniqueness of your Lord (i.e. Allah) and praise Him and repent to
Him as He is ready to forgive." On that, `Umar said, "I do not know about it anything other than what
you know."

Narrated Abu Shuraih:
Al-Adawi that he said to `Amr bin Sa`id while the latter was sending troops in batches to Mecca, "O
chief! Allow me to tell you a statement which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said on the second day of the Conquest
of Mecca. My two ears heard it and my heart remembered it and my two eyes saw him when he said
it. He (i.e. the Prophet) praised Allah and then said, 'Mecca has been made a sanctuary by Allah and
not by the people, so it is not lawful for a person, who believes in Allah and the Last Day to shed
blood in it, or to cut its trees and if someone asks the permission to fight in Mecca because Allah's
Apostle was allowed to fight in it, say to him; Allah permitted His Apostle and did not allow you, and
even he (i.e. the Apostle) was allowed for a short period of the day, and today its (Mecca's sanctity has
become the same as it was before (of old) so those who are present should inform those who are
absent (this Hadith)." Then Abu Shuraih, was asked, "What did `Amr say to you? Abu Shuraih said,
"He said, "I knew that better than you, O Abu Shuraih! The Haram (i.e. Mecca) does not give refuge
to a sinner or a fleeing murderer or a person running away after causing destruction."

journey prayers).

to 19 days as travelers, But if we stay longer, we offer complete prayers.

Narrated `Abdullah bin Tha`laba bin
Su`air whose face was rubbed by the Prophet
during the year of the Conquest (of Makkah).

Narrated Az-Zuhri:
While we were in the company of the Ibn Al-Musaiyab, Sunain Abi Jamila informed us (a Hadith),
Abu Jamila said that he lived during the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) and that he had accompanied him ( to
Mecca) during the year of the Conquest (of Mecca).

Narrated `Amr bin Salama:
We were at a place which was a thoroughfare for the people, and the caravans used to pass by us and
we would ask them, "What is wrong with the people? What is wrong with the people? Who is that
man?. They would say, "That man claims that Allah has sent him (as an Apostle), that he has been
divinely inspired, that Allah has revealed to him such-and-such." I used to memorize that (Divine)
Talk, and feel as if it was inculcated in my chest (i.e. mind) And the 'Arabs (other than Quraish)
delayed their conversion to Islam till the Conquest (of Mecca). They used to say." "Leave him (i.e.
Muhammad) and his people Quraish: if he overpowers them then he is a true Prophet. So, when
Mecca was conquered, then every tribe rushed to embrace Islam, and my father hurried to embrace
Islam before (the other members of) my tribe. When my father returned (from the Prophet) to his
tribe, he said, "By Allah, I have come to you from the Prophet (ﷺ) for sure!" The Prophet (ﷺ) afterwards said
to them, 'Offer such-and-such prayer at such-and-such time, and when the time for the prayer becomes
due, then one of you should pronounce the Adhan (for the prayer), and let the one amongst you who
knows Qur'an most should, lead the prayer." So they looked for such a person and found none who
knew more Qur'an than I because of the Qur'anic material which I used to learn from the caravans.
They therefore made me their Imam ((to lead the prayer) and at that time I was a boy of six or seven
years, wearing a Burda (i.e. a black square garment) proved to be very short for me (and my body
became partly naked). A lady from the tribe said, "Won't you cover the anus of your reciter for us?"
So they bought (a piece of cloth) and made a shirt for me. I had never been so happy with anything
before as I was with that shirt.

Narrated `Aisha:
`Utba bin Abi Waqqas authorized his brother Sa`d to take the son of the slave-girl of Zam`a into his
custody. `Utba said (to him). "He is my son." When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) arrived in Mecca during the
Conquest (of Mecca), Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas took the son of the slave-girl of Zam`a and took him to
the Prophet (ﷺ) `Abd bin Zam`a too came along with him. Sa`d said. "This is the son of my brother and
the latter has informed me that he is his son." `Abd bin Zam`a said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! This is my
brother who is the son of the slave-girl of Zam`a and was born on his (i.e. Zam'as) bed.' Allah's
Apostle looked at the son of the slave-girl of Zam`a and noticed that he, of all the people had the
greatest resemblance to `Utba bin Abi Waqqas. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then said (to `Abd), " He is yours; he
is your brother, O `Abd bin Zam`a, he was born on the bed (of your father)." (At the same time)
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to his wife Sauda), "Veil yourself before him (i.e. the son of the slave-girl) O
Sauda," because of the resemblance he noticed between him and `Utba bin Abi Waqqas. Allah's
Apostle added, "The boy is for the bed (i.e. for the owner of the bed where he was born), and stone is
for the adulterer." (Ibn Shihab said, "Abu Huraira used to say that (i.e. the last statement of the
Prophet in the above Hadith 596, publicly.")

Narrated `Urwa bin Az-Zubair:
A lady committed theft during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the Ghazwa of Al-Fath, ((i.e.
Conquest of Mecca). Her folk went to Usama bin Zaid to intercede for her (with the Prophet). When
Usama interceded for her with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), the color of the face of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) changed and he
said, "Do you intercede with me in a matter involving one of the legal punishments prescribed by
Allah?" Usama said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Ask Allah's Forgiveness for me." So in the afternoon, Allah's
Apostle got up and addressed the people. He praised Allah as He deserved and then said, "Amma
ba'du ! The nations prior to you were destroyed because if a noble amongst them stole, they used to
excuse him, and if a poor person amongst them stole, they would apply (Allah's) Legal Punishment to
him. By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, if Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad stole, I
would cut her hand." Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave his order in the case of that woman and her hand was
cut off. Afterwards her repentance proved sincere and she got married. `Aisha said, "That lady used to
visit me and I used to convey her demands to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)."

Narrated Majashi:
I took my brother to the Prophet (ﷺ) after the Conquest (of Mecca) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have
come to you with my brother so that you may take a pledge of allegiance from him for migration."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, The people of migration (i.e. those who migrated to Medina before the Conquest)
enjoyed the privileges of migration (i.e. there is no need for migration anymore)." I said to the
Prophet, "For what will you take his pledge of allegiance?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I will take his pledge of
allegiance for Islam, Belief, and for Jihad (i.e. fighting in Allah's Cause).

Narrated Mujashi bin Masud:
I took Abu Mabad to the Prophet (ﷺ) in order that he might give him the pledge of allegiance for
migration. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Migration has gone to its people, but I take the pledge from him (i.e.
Abu Mabad) for Islam and Jihad."

Narrated Mujahid:
I said to Ibn `Umar, "I want to migrate to Sham." He said, "There is no migration, but Jihad (for
Allah's Cause). Go and offer yourself for Jihad, and if you find an opportunity for Jihad (stay there)
otherwise, come back."

(In an other narration) Ibn `Umar said:
"There is no migration today or after
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." (and completed his statement as above.)

Narrated Mujahid bin Jabr:
`Abdullah bin `Umar used to say, "There is no migration after the Conquest (of Mecca).

Narrated `Ata' bin Abi Rabah:
`Ubaid bin `Umar and I visited `Aisha, and he asked her about the migration. She said, "There is no
migration today. A believer used to flee with his religion to Allah and His Prophet for fear that he
might be put to trial as regards his religion. Today Allah has rendered Islam victorious; therefore a
believing one can worship one's Lord wherever one wishes. But there is Jihad (for Allah's Cause) and
intentions." (See Hadith 42, in the 4th Vol. for its Explanation)

Narrated Mujahid:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up on the day of the Conquest of Mecca and said, "Allah has made Mecca a
sanctuary since the day He created the Heavens and the Earth, and it will remain a sanctuary by virtue
of the sanctity Allah has bestowed on it till the Day of Resurrection. It (i.e. fighting in it) was not
made lawful to anyone before me!, nor will it be made lawful to anyone after me, and it was not made
lawful for me except for a short period of time. Its game should not be chased, nor should its trees be
cut, nor its vegetation or grass uprooted, not its Luqata (i.e. Most things) picked up except by one who
makes a public announcement about it." Al-Abbas bin `Abdul Muttalib said, "Except the Idhkhir, O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), as it is indispensable for blacksmiths and houses." On that, the Prophet (ﷺ) kept quiet and
then said, "Except the Idhkhir as it is lawful to cut."

Narrated Isma`il:
I saw (a healed scar of) blow over the hand of Ibn Abi `Aufa who said, "I received that blow in the
battle of Hunain in the company of the Prophet." I said, "Did you take part in the battle of Hunain?"
He replied, "Yes (and in other battles) before it."

Narrated Abu 'Is-haq:
I heard Al-Bara' narrating when a man came and said to him, "O Abu '`Umara! Did you flee on the
day (of the battle) of Hunain?" Al-Bara' replied, "I testify that the Prophet (ﷺ) did not flee, but the hasty
people hurried away and the people of Hawazin threw arrows at them. At that time, Abu Sufyan bin
Al-Harith was holding the white mule of the Prophet (ﷺ) by the head, and the Prophet (ﷺ) was saying, "I am
the Prophet (ﷺ) undoubtedly: I am the son of `Abdul-Muttalib."

Narrated Abu 'Is-haq:
Al-Bara' was asked while I was listening, "Did you flee (before the enemy) along with the Prophet (ﷺ) on
the day of (the battle of) Hunain?" He replied, "As for the Prophet, he did not (flee). The enemy were
good archers and the Prophet (ﷺ) was saying, "I am the Prophet (ﷺ) undoubtedly; I am the son of `Abdul
Muttalib."

Narrated Abu 'Is-haq:
That he heard Al-Bara narrating when a man from Qais (tribe) asked him "Did you flee leaving
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the day (of the battle) of Hunain?" Al-Bara' replied, "But Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not
flee. The people of Hawazin were good archers, and when we attacked them, they fled. But rushing
towards the booty, we were confronted by the arrows (of the enemy). I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) riding his
white mule while Abu Sufyan was holding its reins, and the Prophet (ﷺ) was saying "I am the Prophet (ﷺ)
undoubtedly." (Israil and Zuhair said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) dismounted from his Mule.")

Narrated Marwan and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama:
When the delegate of Hawazin came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) declaring their conversion to Islam and asked
him to return their properties and captives, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up and said to them, "There Is involved
in this matter, the people whom you see with me, and the most beloved talk to me, is the true one. So
choose one of two alternatives: Either the captives or the properties. I have been waiting for you (i.e.
have not distributed the booty)." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had delayed the distribution of their booty over ten
nights after his return from Ta'if. So when they came to know that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was not going to
return to them but one of the two, they said, "We prefer to have our captives." So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got
up amongst the Muslims, and praising Allah as He deserved, said, "To proceed! Your brothers have
come to you with repentance and I see (it logical) to return their captives. So, whoever of you likes to
do that as a favor then he can do it. And whoever of you likes to stick to his share till we give him
from the very first booty which Allah will give us, then he can do so." The people said, "We do that
(i.e. return the captives) willingly as a favor, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "We do not
know which of you have agreed to it and which have not; so go back and let your chiefs forward us
your decision." They went back and their chief's spoke to them, and they (i.e. the chiefs) returned to
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and informed him that all of them had agreed (to give up their captives) with pleasure,
and had given their permission (i.e. that the captives be returned to their people). (The sub-narrator
said, "That is what has reached me about the captives of Hawazin tribe.")

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
When we returned from (the battle of) Hunain, `Umar asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about a vow which he had
made during the Pre-lslamic period of Ignorance that he would perform I`tikaf. The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered
him to fulfill his vow.

Narrated Abu Qatada:
We set out along with the Prophet (ﷺ) during the year of (the battle of) Hunain, and when we faced the
enemy, the Muslims (with the exception of the Prophet (ﷺ) and some of his companions) retreated (before
the enemy). I saw one of the pagans over-powering one of the Muslims, so I struck the pagan from
behind his neck causing his armor to be cut off. The pagan headed towards me and pressed me so
forcibly that I felt as if I was dying. Then death took him over and he released me. Afterwards I
followed `Umar and said to him, "What is wrong with the people?" He said, "It is the Order of Allah."
Then the Muslims returned (to the battle after the flight) and (after overcoming the enemy) the
Prophet sat and said, "Whoever had killed an Infidel and has an evidence to this issue, will have the
Salb (i.e. the belonging of the deceased e.g. clothes, arms, horse, etc)." I (stood up) and said, "Who
will be my witness?" and then sat down. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) repeated his question. Then the Prophet (ﷺ)
said the same (for the third time). I got up and said, "Who will be my witness?" and then sat down.
The Prophet (ﷺ) asked his former question again. So I got up. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, What is the matter, O
Abu Qatada?" So I narrated the whole story; A man said, "Abu Qatada has spoken the truth, and the
Salb of the deceased is with me, so please compensate Abu Qatada on my behalf." Abu Bakr said,
"No! By Allah, it will never happen that the Prophet (ﷺ) will leave a Lion of Allah who fights for the Sake
of Allah and His Apostle and give his spoils to you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Abu Bakr has spoken the
truth. Give it (the spoils) back to him (O man)!" So he gave it to me and I bought a garden in (the land
of) Banu Salama with it (i.e. the spoils) and that was the first property I got after embracing Islam.

Narrated Abu Qatada:
When it was the day of (the battle of) Hunain, I saw a Muslim man fighting with one of the pagans
and another pagan was hiding himself behind the Muslim in order to kill him. So I hurried towards the
pagan who was hiding behind the Muslim to kill him, and he raised his hand to hit me but I hit his
hand and cut it off. That man got hold of me and pressed me so hard that I was afraid (that I would
die), then he knelt down and his grip became loose and I pushed him and killed him. The Muslims
(excepting the Prophet (ﷺ) and some of his companions) started fleeing and I too, fled with them.
Suddenly I met `Umar bin Al-Khattab amongst the people and I asked him, "What is wrong with the
people?" He said, "It is the order of Allah" Then the people returned to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (after
defeating the enemy). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Whoever produces a proof that he has killed an infidel,
will have the spoils of the killed man." So I got up to look for an evidence to prove that I had killed an
infidel, but I could not find anyone to bear witness for me, so I sat down. Then it came to my mind
(that I should speak of it) and I mentioned the case to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). A man from the persons who
were sitting with him (i.e. the Prophet), said, "The arms of the deceased one whom he ( i.e. Abu
Qatada) has mentioned, are with me, so please compensate him for it (i.e. the spoils)," Abu Bakr said,
"No, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) will not give it (i.e. the spoils) to a weak humble person from Quraish and leave
one of Allah's Lions who fights on behalf of Allah and His Apostle." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then got up and
gave that (spoils) to me, and I bought with it, a garden which was the first property I got after
embracing Islam.

Narrated Abu Musa:
When the Prophet (ﷺ) had finished from the battle of Hunain, he sent Abu Amir at the head of an army to
Autas He (i.e. Abu Amir) met Duraid bin As Summa and Duraid was killed and Allah defeated his
companions. The Prophet (ﷺ) sent me with Abu 'Amir. Abu Amir was shot at his knee with an arrow
which a man from Jushm had shot and fixed into his knee. I went to him and said, "O Uncle! Who
shot you?" He pointed me out (his killer) saying, "That is my killer who shot me (with an arrow)." So
I headed towards him and overtook him, and when he saw me, he fled, and I followed him and started
saying to him, "Won't you be ashamed? Won't you stop?" So that person stopped, and we exchanged
two hits with the swords and I killed him.
Then I said to Abu 'Amir. "Allah has killed your killer." He said, "Take out this arrow" So I removed
it, and water oozed out of the wound. He then said, "O son of my brother! Convey my compliments to
the Prophet (ﷺ) and request him to ask Allah's Forgiveness for me." Abu Amir made me his successor in
commanding the people (i.e. troops). He survived for a short while and then died. (Later) I returned
and entered upon the Prophet (ﷺ) at his house, and found him lying in a bed made of stalks of date-palm
leaves knitted with ropes, and on it there was bedding. The strings of the bed had their traces over his
back and sides. Then I told the Prophet (ﷺ) about our and Abu Amir's news and how he had said "Tell him
to ask for Allah's Forgiveness for me."
The Prophet (ﷺ) asked for water, performed ablution and then raised hands, saying, "O Allah's Forgive
`Ubaid, Abu Amir." At that time I saw the whiteness of the Prophet's armpits. The Prophet (ﷺ) then said,
"O Allah, make him (i.e. Abu Amir) on the Day of Resurrection, superior to many of Your human
creatures." I said, "Will you ask Allah's Forgiveness for me?" (On that) the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah,
forgive the sins of `Abdullah bin Qais and admit him to a nice entrance (i.e. paradise) on the Day of
Resurrection." Abu Burda said, "One of the prayers was for Abu 'Amir and the other was for Abu
Musa (i.e. `Abdullah bin Qais).

Narrated Um Salama:
The Prophet (ﷺ) came to me while there was an effeminate man sitting with me, and I heard him (i.e. the
effeminate man) saying to `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya, "O `Abdullah! See if Allah should make you
conquer Ta'if tomorrow, then take the daughter of Ghailan (in marriage) as (she is so beautiful and fat
that) she shows four folds of flesh when facing you, and eight when she turns her back." The Prophet (ﷺ)
then said, "These (effeminate men) should never enter upon you (O women!)." Ibn Juraij said, "That
effeminate man was called Hit."
Narrated Hisham:

The above narration and added extra, that at that time, the Prophet, was besieging Taif.

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr:
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) besieged Taif and could not conquer its people, he said, "We will return (to
Medina) If Allah wills." That distressed the Companions (of the Prophet (ﷺ) and they said, "Shall we go
away without conquering it (i.e. the Fort of Taif)?" Once the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Let us return." Then the
Prophet said (to them), "Fight tomorrow." They fought and (many of them) got wounded, whereupon
the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "We will return (to Medina) tomorrow if Allah wills." That delighted them,
whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) smiled. The sub-narrator, Sufyan said once, "(The Prophet) smiled."

Narrated Abu `Uthman:
I heard from Sa`d, the first man who has thrown an arrow in Allah's Cause, and from Abu Bakra who
jumped over the wall of the Ta'if Fort along with a few persons and came to the Prophet. They both
said, "We heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, " If somebody claims to be the son of somebody other than his
father knowingly, he will be denied Paradise (i.e. he will not enter Paradise).' "
Narrated Ma`mar from `Asim from Abu Al-`Aliya or Abu `Uthman An-Nahdi who said. "I heard Sa`d
and Abu Bakra narrating from the Prophet." `Asim said, "I said (to him), 'Very trustworthy persons
have narrated to you.' He said, 'Yes, one of them was the first to throw an arrow in Allah's Cause and
the other came to the Prophet (ﷺ) in a group of thirty-three persons from Ta'if.'

Narrated Abu Burda:
Abu Musa said, "I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) when he was encamping at Al-Jarana (a place) between
Mecca and Medina and Bilal was with him. A bedouin came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "Won't you
fulfill what you have promised me?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Rejoice (at what I will do for you).' The
bedouin said, "(You have said to me) rejoice too often." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) turned to me (i.e. Abu
Musa) and Bilal in an angry mood and said, 'The bedouin has refused the good tidings, so you both
accept them.' Bilal and I said, 'We accept them.' Then the Prophet (ﷺ) asked for a drinking bowl
containing water and washed his hands and face in it, and then took a mouthful of water and threw it
therein saying (to us), "Drink (some of) it and pour (some) over your faces and chests and be happy at
the good tidings." So they both took the drinking bowl and did as instructed. Um Salama called from
behind a screen, "Keep something (of the water for your mother." So they left some of it for her.

Narrated Safwan bin Ya`la bin Umaiya:
Ya`la used to say, "I wish I could see Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) at the time when he is being inspired divinely."
Ya`la added "While the Prophet (ﷺ) was at Al-Ja'rana, shaded with a cloth sheet (in the form of a tent) and
there were staying with him, some of his companions under it, suddenly there came to him a bedouin
wearing a cloak and perfumed extravagantly. He said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ! What is your opinion
regarding a man who assumes the state of Ihram for `Umra wearing a cloak after applying perfume to
his body?" `Umar signalled with his hand to Ya`la to come (near). Ya`la came and put his head
(underneath that cloth sheet) and saw the Prophet (ﷺ) red-faced and when that state (of the Prophet (ﷺ) ) was
over, he said, "Where is he who as already asked me about the `Umra?" The man was looked for and
brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "As for the perfume you have applied to your body,
wash it off your body) thrice, and take off your cloak, and then do in your `Umra the rites you do in
your Hajj."

Narrated `Abdullah bin Zaid bin `Asim:
When Allah gave to His Apostle the war booty on the day of Hunain, he distributed that booty
amongst those whose hearts have been (recently) reconciled (to Islam), but did not give anything to
the Ansar. So they seemed to have felt angry and sad as they did not get the same as other people had
got. The Prophet (ﷺ) then delivered a sermon before them, saying, "O, the assembly of Ansar! Didn't I
find you astray, and then Allah guided you on the Right Path through me? You were divided into
groups, and Allah brought you together through me; you were poor and Allah made you rich through
me." Whatever the Prophet (ﷺ) said , they (i.e. the Ansar) said, "Allah and his Apostle have more favours
to do." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What stops you from answering the Messenger of Allah?" But whatever he
said to them, they replied, "Allah and His Apostle have more favours to do." The Prophet (ﷺ) then said,
"If you wish you could say: 'You came to us in such-and-such state (at Medina).' Wouldn't you be
willing to see the people go away with sheep and camels while you go with the Prophet (ﷺ) to your
homes? But for the migration, I would have been one of the Ansar, and if the people took their way
through a valley or mountain pass, I would select the valley or mountain pass of the Ansar. The Ansar
are Shiar (i.e. those clothes which are in direct contact with the body and worn inside the other
garments), and the people are Dithar (i.e. those clothes which are not in direct contact with the body
and are worn over other garments). No doubt, you will see other people favoured over you, so you
should be patient till you meet me at the Tank (of Kauthar).

Narrated Anas Bin Malik:
When Allah gave Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) what he gave of the properties of the Hawazin tribe as a war booty,
the Prophet (ﷺ) started giving some men 100 camels each. The Ansar (then) said, "May Allah forgive
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)s as he gives to Quraish and leaves us although our swords are still dribbling with the
blood of Quraish." Allah Apostle was informed of their statement, so he sent for the Ansar and
gathered them in a leather tent, and did not call anybody else along with them. When they al I
gathered, the Prophet (ﷺ) got up and said, "What is this talk being informed to me about you?" The
learned men amongst the Ansar said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Our chiefs did not say anything, but some
people amongst us who are younger in age said. 'May Allah forgive Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as he gives (of the
booty) to Quraish and leaves us though our swords are still dribbling with their blood." The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "I give to these men who have newly deserted heathenism (and embraced Islam) so as to attract
their hearts. Won't you be happy that the people take the wealth while you take the Prophet (ﷺ) with you
to your homes? By Allah, what you are taking is better than whatever they are taking." They (i.e. the
Ansar) said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We are satisfied." The Prophet (ﷺ) then said to them. "You will find
others favored over you greatly, so be patient till you meet Allah and His Apostle and I will be at the
Tank then." Anas added: But they did not remain patient.

Narrated Anas:
When it was the day of the Conquest (of Mecca) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) distributed the war booty amongst
the people of Quraish which caused the Ansar to become angry. So the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Won't you be
pleased that the people take the worldly things and you take Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with you? "They said,
"Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If the people took their way through a valley or mountain pass, I would take
my way through the Ansar's valley or mountain pass."

Narrated Anas:
When it was the day of (the battle of) Hunain, the Prophet (ﷺ) confronted the tribe of Hawazin while there
were ten-thousand (men) besides the Tulaqa' (i.e. those who had embraced Islam on the day of the
Conquest of Mecca) with the Prophet. When they (i.e. Muslims) fled, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O the group
of Ansari" They replied, "Labbaik, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Sadaik! We are under your command."
Then the Prophet (ﷺ) got down (from his mule) and said, "I am Allah's Slave and His Apostle." Then the
pagans were defeated. The Prophet (ﷺ) distributed the war booty amongst the Tulaqa and Muhajirin (i.e.
Emigrants) and did not give anything to the Ansar. So the Ansar spoke (i.e. were dissatisfied) and he
called them and made them enter a leather tent and said, Won't you be pleased that the people take the
sheep and camels, and you take Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) along with you?" The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "If the people
took their way through a valley and the Ansar took their way through a mountain pass, then I would
choose a mountain pass of the Ansar."

Narrated Anas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) gathered some people of Ansar and said, "The People of Quraish are still close to their
Pre-lslamic period of ignorance and have suffered a lot, and I want to help them and attract their
hearts (by giving them the war booty). Won't you be pleased that the people take the worldly things)
and you take Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with you to your homes?" They said, "Yes, (i.e. we are pleased with this
distribution)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "'If the people took their way through a valley and the Ansar took
their way through a mountain pass, then I would take the Ansar's valley or the Ansar's mountain pass."

Narrated `Abdullah:
When the Prophet (ﷺ) distribute the war booty of Hunain, a man from the Ansar said, "He (i.e. the
Prophet), did not intend to please Allah in this distribution." So I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and informed
him of that (statement) whereupon the color of his face changed and he said, "May Allah bestow His
Mercy on Moses, for he was troubled with more than this, but he remained patient."

Narrated `Abdullah:
When it was the day of Hunain, Prophet favored some people over some others (in the distribution of
the booty). He gave Al-Aqra' one-hundred camels and gave Uyaina the same, and also gave other
people (of Quraish). A man said, "Allah's Pleasure was not the aim, in this distribution." I said, "I will
inform the Prophet (about your statement)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "May Allah bestow Mercy on Moses,
for he was troubled more this but he remained patient."

Narrated Anas Bin Malik:
When it was the day (of the battle) of Hunain, the tributes of Hawazin and Ghatafan and others, along
with their animals and offspring (and wives) came to fight against the Prophet (ﷺ) The Prophet (ﷺ) had with
him, ten thousand men and some of the Tulaqa. The companions fled, leaving the Prophet (ﷺ) alone. The
Prophet then made two calls which were clearly distinguished from each other. He turned right and
said, "O the group of Ansar!" They said, "Labbaik, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Rejoice, for we are with you!"
Then he turned left and said, "O the group of Ansar!" They said, "Labbaik! O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!
Rejoice, for we are with you!" The Prophet (ﷺ) at that time, was riding on a white mule; then he
dismounted and said, "I am Allah's Slave and His Apostle." The infidels then were defeated, and on
that day the Prophet (ﷺ) gained a large amount of booty which he distributed amongst the Muhajirin and
the Tulaqa and did not give anything to the Ansar. The Ansar said, "When there is a difficulty, we are
called, but the booty is given to other than us." The news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) and he gathered them in
a leather tent and said, "What is this news reaching me from you, O the group of Ansar?" They kept
silent, He added," O the group of Ansar! Won't you be happy that the people take the worldly things
and you take Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to your homes reserving him for yourself?" They said, "Yes." Then the
Prophet said, "If the people took their way through a valley, and the Ansar took their way through a
mountain pass, surely, I would take the Ansar's mountain pass." Hisham said, "O Abu Hamza (i.e.
Anas)! Did you witness that? " He replied, "And how could I be absent from him?"

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
The Prophet (ﷺ) sent a Sariya towards Najd and I was in it, and our share from the booty amounted to
twelve camels each, and we were given an additional camel each. So we returned with thirteen camels
each.

Narrated Salim's father:
The Prophet (ﷺ) sent Khalid bin Al-Walid to the tribe of Jadhima and Khalid invited them to Islam but
they could not express themselves by saying, "Aslamna (i.e. we have embraced Islam)," but they
started saying "Saba'na! Saba'na (i.e. we have come out of one religion to another)." Khalid kept on
killing (some of) them and taking (some of) them as captives and gave every one of us his Captive.
When there came the day then Khalid ordered that each man (i.e. Muslim soldier) should kill his
captive, I said, "By Allah, I will not kill my captive, and none of my companions will kill his captive."
When we reached the Prophet, we mentioned to him the whole story. On that, the Prophet (ﷺ) raised both
his hands and said twice, "O Allah! I am free from what Khalid has done."

Narrated `Ali:
The Prophet (ﷺ) sent a Sariya under the command of a man from the Ansar and ordered the soldiers to
obey him. He (i.e. the commander) became angry and said "Didn't the Prophet (ﷺ) order you to obey me!"
They replied, "Yes." He said, "Collect fire-wood for me." So they collected it. He said, "Make a fire."
When they made it, he said, "Enter it (i.e. the fire)." So they intended to do that and started holding
each other and saying, "We run towards (i.e. take refuge with) the Prophet (ﷺ) from the fire." They kept
on saying that till the fire was extinguished and the anger of the commander abated. When that news
reached the Prophet (ﷺ) he said, "If they had entered it (i.e. the fire), they would not have come out of it
till the Day of Resurrection. Obedience (to somebody) is required when he enjoins what is good."

Narrated Abu Burda:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent Abu Musa and Mu`adh bin Jabal to Yemen. He sent each of them to administer a
province as Yemen consisted of two provinces. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to them), "Facilitate things for the
people and do not make things difficult for them (Be kind and lenient (both of you) with the people,
and do not be hard on them) and give the people good tidings and do not repulse them. So each of
them went to carry on his job. So when any one of them toured his province and happened to come
near (the border of the province of) his companion, he would visit him and greet him. Once Mu`adh
toured that part of his state which was near (the border of the province of) his companion Abu Musa.
Mu`adh came riding his mule till he reached Abu Musa and saw him sitting, and the people had
gathered around him. Behold! There was a man tied with his hands behind his neck. Mu`adh said to
Abu Musa, "O `Abdullah bin Qais! What is this?" Abu Musa replied. "This man has reverted to
Heathenism after embracing Islam." Mu`adh said, "I will not dismount till he is killed." Abu Musa
replied, "He has been brought for this purpose, so come down." Mu`adh said, "I will not dismount till
he is killed." So Abu Musa ordered that he be killed, and he was killed. Then Mu`adh dismounted and
said, "O `Abdullah (bin Qais)! How do you recite the Qur'an ?" Abu Musa said, "I recite the Qur'an
regularly at intervals and piecemeal. How do you recite it O Mu`adh?" Mu`adh said, "I sleep in the
first part of the night and then get up after having slept for the time devoted for my sleep and then
recite as much as Allah has written for me. So I seek Allah's Reward for both my sleep as well as my
prayer (at night).

Narrated Abi Burda:
That Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari said that the Prophet (ﷺ) had sent him to Yemen and he asked the Prophet (ﷺ)
about certain (alcoholic) drink which used to be prepared there The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What are they?"
Abu Musa said, "Al-Bit' and Al-Mizr?" He said, "Al-Bit is an alcoholic drink made from honey; and
Al-Mizr is an alcoholic drink made from barley." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "All intoxicants are prohibited."

Narrated Abu Burda:
That the Prophet (ﷺ) sent his (i.e. Abu Burda's) grandfather, Abu Musa and Mu`adh to Yemen and said to
both of them "Facilitate things for the people (Be kind and lenient) and do not make things difficult
(for people), and give them good tidings, and do not repulse them and both of you should obey each
other." Abu Musa said, "O Allah's Prophet! In our land there is an alcoholic drink (prepared) from
barley called Al-Mizr, and another (prepared) from honey, called Al-Bit"' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "All
intoxicants are prohibited." Then both of them proceeded and Mu`adh asked Abu Musa, "How do you
recite the Qur'an?" Abu Musa replied, "I recite it while I am standing, sitting or riding my riding
animals, at intervals and piecemeal." Mu`adh said, "But I sleep and then get up. I sleep and hope for
Allah's Reward for my sleep as I seek His Reward for my night prayer." Then he (i.e. Mu`adh) pitched
a tent and they started visiting each other. Once Mu`adh paid a visit to Abu Musa and saw a chained
man. Mu`adh asked, "What is this?" Abu Musa said, "(He was) a Jew who embraced Islam and has
now turned apostate." Mu`adh said, "I will surely chop off his neck!"

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent me (as a governor) to the land of my people, and I came while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
was encamping at a place called Al-Abtah. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Have you made the intention to
perform the Hajj, O `Abdullah bin Qais?" I replied, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "What did you
say?" I replied, "I said, 'Labbaik' and expressed the same intention as yours." He said, "Have you
driven the Hadi along with you?" I replied, "No, I did not drive the Hadi." He said, "So perform the
Tawaf of the Ka`ba and then the Sai, between Safa and Marwa and then finish the state of Ihram." So
I did the same, and one of the women of (the tribe of) Banu-Qais combed my hair. We continued
follow in that tradition till the caliphate of `Umar.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to Mu`adh bin Jabal when he sent him to Yemen. "You will come to the people of
Scripture, and when you reach them, invite them to testify that none has the right to be worshipped
except Allah and that Muhammad is His Apostle. And if they obey you in that, then tell them that
Allah has enjoined on them five prayers to be performed every day and night. And if they obey you in
that, then tell them that Allah has enjoined on them Sadaqa (i.e. rak`at) to be taken from the rich
amongst them and given to the poor amongst them. And if they obey you in that, then be cautious!
Don't take their best properties (as Zakat) and be afraid of the curse of an oppressed person as there is
no screen between his invocation and Allah.

Narrated `Amr bin Maimuin:
When Mu`adh arrived at Yemen, he led them (i.e. the people of Yemen) in the Fajr prayer wherein he
recited: 'Allah took Abraham as a Khalil.' A man amongst the people said, "(How) glad the mother of
Abraham is!" (In another narration) `Amr said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) sent Mu`adh to Yemen and he (led the
people) in the Fajr prayer and recited: 'Allah took Abraham as a Khalil. A man behind him said,
"(How) glad the mother of Abraham is!"

Narrated Al-Bara:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent us to Yemen along with Khalid bin Al-Walid. Later on he sent `Ali bin Abi Talib
in his place. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to `Ali, "Give Khalid's companions the choice of either staying with you
(in Yemen) or returning to Medina." I was one of those who stayed with him (i.e. `Ali) and got several
Awaq (of gold from the war booty.

Narrated Buraida:
The Prophet (ﷺ) sent `Ali to Khalid to bring the Khumus (of the booty) and I hated `Ali, and `Ali had
taken a bath (after a sexual act with a slave-girl from the Khumus). I said to Khalid, "Don't you see
this (i.e. `Ali)?" When we reached the Prophet (ﷺ) I mentioned that to him. He said, "O Buraida! Do you
hate `Ali?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Do you hate him, for he deserves more than that from the
Khumlus."

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
`Ali bin Abi Talib sent a piece of gold not yet taken out of its ore, in a tanned leather container to
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) distributed that amongst four Persons: 'Uyaina bin Badr, Aqra bin
H`Abis, Zaid Al-Khail and the fourth was either Alqama or Amir bin at-Tufail. On that, one of his
companions said, "We are more deserving of this (gold) than these (persons)." When that news
reached the Prophet (ﷺ) , he said, "Don't you trust me though I am the truth worthy man of the One in the
Heavens, and I receive the news of Heaven (i.e. Divine Inspiration) both in the morning and in the
evening?" There got up a man with sunken eyes, raised cheek bones, raised forehead, a thick beard, a
shaven head and a waist sheet that was tucked up and he said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Be afraid of Allah."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Woe to you! Am I not of all the people of the earth the most entitled to fear
Allah?" Then that man went away. Khalid bin Al-Wahd said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall I chop his
neck off?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No, for he may offer prayers." Khalid said, "Numerous are those who
offer prayers and say by their tongues (i.e. mouths) what is not in their hearts." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "I
have not been ordered (by Allah) to search the hearts of the people or cut open their bellies." Then the
Prophet looked at him (i.e. that man) while the latter was going away and said, "From the offspring of
this (man there will come out (people) who will recite the Qur'an continuously and elegantly but it
will not exceed their throats. (They will neither understand it nor act upon it). They would go out of
the religion (i.e. Islam) as an arrow goes through a game's body." I think he also said, "If I should be
present at their time I would kill them as the nations a Thamud were killed."

Narrated 'Ata:
Jabir said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered `Ali to keep the state of Ihram." Jabir added, "Ali bin Abi Talib
returned (from Yemen) when he was a governor (of Yemen). The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, 'With what
intention have you assumed the state of Ihram?' `Ali said, "I have assumed Ihram with an intention as
that of the Prophet." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), 'Offer a Hadi and keep the state of Ihram in
which you are now.' `Ali slaughtered a Hadi on his behalf."

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
The Prophet (ﷺ) assumed the state of Ihram for Umra and Hajj, and we to assumed it for Hajj with him.
When we arrived at Mecca, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever does not possess a Hadi should regard his
Ihram for Umra only." The Prophet (ﷺ) had a Hadi with him. `Ali bin Abi Talib came to us from Yemen
with the intention of performing Hajj. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "With what intention have you
assumed the Ihram, for your wife is with us?" `Ali said, "I assumed the lhram with the same intention
as that of the Prophet (ﷺ) ." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Keep on the state of lhram, as we have got the Hadi."

Narrated Jarir:
In the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance there was a house called Dhu-l-Khalasa or Al-Ka`ba Al-
Yamaniya or Al-Ka`ba Ash-Shamiya. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "Won't you relieve me from Dhu-l-
Khalasa?" So I set out with one-hundred-and-fifty riders, and we dismantled it and killed whoever was
present there. Then I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and informed him, and he invoked good upon us and Al-
Ahmas (tribe) .
