the Ka'ba except these (two) facing south (Yemen)
and I saw you wearing shoes made of tanned leather
and dyeing your hair with Hinna; (a kind of dye).
I also noticed that whenever you were in Mecca,
the people assume l,hram on seeing the new moon
crescent (1st of Dhul-Hijja) while you did not
assume the Ihlal (Ihram)--(Ihram is also called
Ihlal which means 'Loud calling' because a Muhrim
has to recite Talbiya aloud when assuming the
state of Ihram)--till the 8th of Dhul-Hijja (Day
of Tarwiya). 'Abdullah replied, "Regarding
the corners of Ka'ba, I never saw Allah's Apostle
touching except those facing south (Yemen) and
regarding the tanned leather shoes, no doubt I saw
Allah's Apostle wearing non-hairy shoes and he
used to perform ablution while wearing the shoes
(i.e. wash his feet and then put on the shoes). So
I love to wear similar shoes. And about the dyeing
of hair with Hinna; no doubt I saw Allah's Apostle
dyeing his hair with it and that is why I like to

believer will reply, 'He is Muhammad, Allah's
Apostle , and he came to us with self-evident
truth and guidance. So we accepted his teaching,
believed and followed him.' Then the angels will

said to the others, "Who amongst you will
bring the abdominal contents (intestines, etc.) of
a camel of Bani so and so and put it on the back
of Muhammad, when he prostrates?" The most
unfortunate of them got up and brought it. He
waited till the Prophet prostrated and then placed
it on his back between his shoulders. I was
watching but could not do any thing. I wish I had
some people with me to hold out against them. They
started laughing and falling on one another.
Allah's Apostle was in prostration and he did not
lift his head up till Fatima (Prophet's daughter)
came and threw that (camel's abdominal contents)
away from his back. He raised his head and said
thrice, "O Allah! Punish Quraish." So it
was hard for Abu Jahl and his companions when the
Prophet invoked Allah against them as they had a
conviction that the prayers and invocations were
accepted in this city (Mecca). The Prophet said,
"O Allah! Punish Abu Jahl, 'Utba bin Rabi'a,
Shaiba bin Rabi'a, Al-Walid bin 'Utba, Umaiya bin
Khalaf, and 'Uqba bin Al Mu'it (and he mentioned

raghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika. La Malja' wa la
manja minka illa ilaika. Allahumma amantu
bikitabika-l-ladhi anzalta wa bina-biyika-l ladhi
arsalta" (O Allah! I surrender to You and
entrust all my affairs to You and depend upon You
for Your Blessings both with hope and fear of You.
There is no fleeing from You, and there is no
place of protection and safety except with You O
Allah! I believe in Your Book (the Qur'an) which
You have revealed and in Your Prophet (Muhammad)
whom You have sent). Then if you die on that very
night, you will die with faith (i.e. or the
religion of Islam). Let the aforesaid words be
your last utterance (before sleep)." I
repeated it before the Prophet and when I reached
"Allahumma amantu bikitabika-l-ladhi anzalta
(O Allah I believe in Your Book which You have
revealed)." I said, "Wa-rasulika (and
your Apostle)." The Prophet said, "No,
(but say): 'Wanabiyika-l-ladhi arsalta (Your
Prophet whom You have sent), instead."
